Awesome lobster roll! – ON our last day in boston, and in search for a great lobster roll, my bf and I decided to look up the best place for a lobster roll in boston. Sure enough, b & g oysters came up so we went. We got seated pretty quickly at the bar and orders the steamed mussels and lobster roll and some oysters. Everything was so good, I will def make sure to keep this place in mind when I come back to Boston. Not to mention that the wine was really good too; I recommend the pino blanc! I really wish there was a b & g oysters in nyc!
Summery Slurrrp – The oysters here are the best in town; the variety, the perfect presentation, the briny freshness. The local cherrystones are also a treat. The servers know their product and manage to navigate the often crowded small space without making you feel rushed. In season try to get a seat on the patio.
The wine list is well matched to the food and has a wide price range.
If raw seafood is not your thing, the Fried Ipwich clams are a local delicacy brought to a new level with crispy batter fried perfectly. Or try the Maine lobster roll which will make you feel like you spent a day at the beach in Bar Harbor.
great oysters & seafood in general! – So I came here for the B&G Oyster Invitational two weekends ago (won tickets courtesy of Citysearch!) and it was fantastic. The space was perfect, though quickly packed and crowded, since most of the event was held outdoors and it was a gorgeous 80-degree day out. Inside is set up like a classy bar scene, where the food is all cooked right in front of you while you sip on cocktails/beer. Since this event was all about oysters, I can't give a real opinion on the full menu (though if you check out their Website it is a serious eyefull of yum). However I will say that their fresh as well as their fried oysters are absolutely delicious, and same for their fried Ipswitch clams and fried Point Judith calamari. Overall I would say that this place is definitely worth coming back to try an actual meal at (I'd say more of a lunch place or a casual dinner, since the place does run a little small).
Whole meal was delicious! – My guy & I tried B&G for the first time on Sunday. The lobster bisque was tasty (not too rich, no lobster pieces though). The fish sandwich was excellent (breading was light, fresh flaky fish tended to keep falling out of the too big bun) right down to the shoe string fries & crispy sweet pickles on the side. The swordfish saltimbocca was perfect - portion on the smaller side but every bite was flavorful. The chocloate beer cake was good but the vanilla bean panna cotta was delicious! We also had half a dozen Pemaquid oysters that were super fresh - love that salt water flavor! Would've had a dozen (or more) if they weren't $2.65 per oyster though... Only complaint was the rolls that were like shoe leather - tough to tear apart & had to be soaked in the olive oil to be chewable. Service was good, enjoyed sitting at the bar watching all the action. Was extremely busy on a Sunday afternoon but we didn't feel crowded or rushed. Overall had a great experience - will definitely go back!
Fantastic – The waitress we had was incredible! Every suggestion she made was spot on! Lobster roll... perfect!
Oyster selection was as good as have ever seen.
Bivalve me tender – If you're looking for oysters or other raw bar selections, BnG is one of the top spots in the city. Though a bit on the small side, the cozy decor draws you in and solid drinks/wine list pairs well with the menu. Oyster sampler is a must for any bivalve aficionado. Food is overall competes with the likes of Neptune Oyster, where it wins on the drink/wine paring, though BnG wins on service and atmosphere. Watching the kitchen as you sit at the bar and enjoy your wine and food.
outstanding food without the pretension – I picked this restaurant from the Zagat guide while on a business trip to Boston. It was a fantastic find. The atmosphere is classy without being stuffy. The service was attentive. The food was excellent - executed well with interesting flavor combinations. I am actually not a fan of oysters, but I highly enjoyed the rest of the seafood menu.
Great Seafood and Atmosphere – My wife and I had 7:30 reservations and arrived at about 7:15 and were promptly seated. The restaurant is very small with every table having a great view of the kitchen. It took a while to get our drink order in but after that service was outstanding. I had oysters as an appetizer which were great and they had a selection of 12 different ones from Massachusetts, PEI, Connecticut, Virginia, British Columbia and Washington St.. My wife had the house cured Norwegian salmon which was good but we would probably not order it again. For entrees my wife had the Sea Scallops w/ Sweet potato tortelloni which were outstanding. The scallops were perfectly seared and the tortelloni had a surprisingly savory taste. I had the Rope-Grown Main Muscles which were outstanding I just wished I had more bread to sop up the juices with. We finished with the Meyer Lemon Cheese Cake which I really enjoyed but my wife thought was only ok. She is a sweet dessert type of person and this was definitely not a sweet dessert due to the lemon in the cheesecake and the cranberries on top.
Best Oysters in Boston – I stubbled across this place with my mom and was pleasantly surprised. I live in Cali and eat oysters quite a bit but have to say the variety here was GREAT. I also recommend the lobster roll.
comfortable environment & excellent food – We've been to the B&G on several occasions. It's unpretentious, wearing jeans and a T shirt are the norm here but the food and service far excel that of many other restaurants. It comes across as a friendly neighborhood crowd although we think the diners that go here are probably well seasoned foodies. From the moment you enter the door smiles and a friendly welcome are abound. The food is straight forward, uncomplicated and delicious. We usually start off with a wonderful selection of,yes.... Oysters. Then we move on to another seafood dish.I would say run don't walk if you want to have a casual experience with top notch food. Not a complaint has been muttered by either of us or our guests the 3-4 times we've been here. what else can one say?

Ultimate coverage, ultimate adaptability.
The original Oakley Radar was a sports optics game-changer when it landed in the pro peloton in 2007. It was exceptionally lightweight, offered an excellent fit under a wide variety of cycling helmets, and the carefully sculpted design was simultaneously aggressive and universally wearable. The Radar did a lot of things right, but taking advantage of the frame's lens interchangeability was, more often than not, tedious at best, and required a flowchart at worst. It was almost easier to simply own multiple pairs for different applications than to try changing the lenses. To put an end to this frustration, Oakley introduced the Radarlock Path -- a subtly redesigned Radar, quite possibly the quintessential sporting sunglass.
Lay the two next to each other, and you'll notice that the geometry, frame profiles, and signature earstem exhaust ports of the original Radar and the new Radarlock are more or less the same. But that's about where the similarities end. The Radarlock is constructed from the same lightweight O-Matter polycarbonate, but the earstems are now constructed from several different pieces, giving them a more dramatically sculpted design that grants a slightly greater degree of outward flex. The O-Matter hinges are now tensioned, giving them a slight spring when opening or closing. Oakley also opted to terminate the Unobtanium rubber earsocks a bit further from the stem tips to give the glasses a better fit with many helmet retention systems, and also to leave room for perforations that allow fitment of a retention strap (sold separately).
As evidenced by its name, the Radarlock is characterized by Oakley's Switchlock technology, which allows you to change out the lens quickly and efficiently. Due to the Radar's unique Polaric Ellipsoid shield lens geometry, the mechanism is a little different than what you'd find on the Jawbone or Fast Jacket, but very simple nonetheless. Simply engage the slider switch on the inside of the left temple, and pivot the earstem towards the inside of the lens to open the clamp. This relieves all of the mechanism's clamping pressure which enables you to slide the lens out of the frame groove and the notches on the opposing temple. If it seems like all of the switching and hinging is over-engineered to simply change out a shield lens, you'd be correct. But remember that every Oakley design that leaves their Foothill Ranch factory must not only meet, but exceed the rigorous standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). So not only must Switchlock ensure easy lens swapping, it must also ensure the lens remains snugly in place to protect your eyes at high impacts like these.
What good would safety standards be without near-perfect clarity? Oakley's patented High Definition Optics (HDO) boasts some of the best clarity in the industry. Part of the beauty of Switchlock is that the mechanism evenly distributes the clamping force over the lens to prevent any potential optical distortion. Like all of Oakley lenses, the optically-correct lenses of the Radarlock are constructed from pure Plutonite, Oakley's proprietary polycarbonate that not only blocks all harmful UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, and harmful blue light up to 400nm, but is also the heart of the impact resistance of which Oakley so proud. Each lens is finished with a hydrophobic treatment that repels moisture buildup from water or sweat, and contaminants like fingerprints or smudges from sunscreen.
The same two Radar lens profiles -- Pitch, and Path, of the Radarlock are identical to those of Oakley's previous Radar. However, note that the lenses are not interchangeable between the two models, as the Radarlock utilizes a different series of notches to secure the lens to the frame. As before, the Radar Path is a universal, medium-sized lens designed to tuck just over the contours of your cheekbones to really hug your face. If you prefer slightly larger coverage and want a more rounded profile that dips a bit further lower on your face, try the Pitch.
The Radarlock Path sunglasses are available in four package options, with each frame coming with a lens ideal for sunny riding conditions, and another contrasting lens for low-light conditions. Choose between Matte Heather Grey with Grey and G30 Iridium lenses, Polished White with Jade Iridium and Yellow lenses, Polished Black with Black Iridium and Persimmon lenses, or Silver with Ice Iridium and Persimmon lenses. Note that both lenses included with the Matte Heather Grey, Polished White, and Silver frames are slotted along the brow for maximum ventilation.
The glasses come in Oakley's carry case, along with a microfiber travel bag that doubles as a cleaning cloth. The glasses also come with two sets of soft Unobtanium nosepieces to best customize fit.
- Oakley's High Definition Optics let you to experience outstanding color contrast, clarity, and depth perception
- 100% UVA, UVB, and UVC protection shields your eyes from harmful rays as well as harmful blue light up to 400nm
- Singular Plutonite shield lens exceeds ANSI impact standards keeping you protected from wayward debris as you perform
- Vented lens options (color-dependant) offer an array of breathable top vents to keep you fog-free at all times
- Hydrophobic anti-smudge coating prevents streaks and spots from sunscreen or sweat
- Unobtainium nosepads and earsocks provide a non-slip grip and comfortable feel
- Note that Radarlock lenses are NOT cross-compatible with Radar lenses

The description of the polished black frame says "Polished Black/Black Iridium Vented - Vr28" but the picture is of unvented black iridium. Is it available with vented black iridium/vented vr28?

Yes it will come with the Vented Black Iridium. The image is our mistake and I will have our content department get it replaced with the correct image.

I love the Radar line of sunglasses and the new change out system makes them even better. It is not completely fingerprint free, but close. Good coverage and great optics.

If you owned multiple pairs of Radar sunglasses because changing the lenses was more trouble than it's worth, listen up. There's a lot of praise that could be heaped upon the Radarlock, but at the end of the day, the most important fact is that it is a significant and wholly justified upgrade over the original Radar - and one that doesn't come at the expense of sacrificing what makes the Radar platform the ultimate sporting frame.
Debbie C
Member since
So true and good advice! The original *Radar's are a pain to change-out lenses...this is a long overdue much needded re-design!
Look Great
Member since
There is a reason why radar's have been one of the most popular type of exercise sunglasses. They look good and perform perfectly on the bike or the run.

We're also a private institution, so we enjoy the independence to seize opportunities whenever they happen. As a result, York College has been transformed, and is transforming still. Recently we have built new state-of-the-art facilities like the Grumbacher Sport and Fitness Center,Willman Business Center, Humanities Center, Engineering Innovation Center, and Performing Arts Center.

text: I use both. A single rotor cover more area that a pop up and can be kept on the edges whereas pop ups for a large area would have to be placed out in the lawn as well. A pop up is great for small areas where a rotor would be too much, but if your water isn't really clean, the screen in the pop up will clog and have to be cleaned frequently. The reason you can't mix rotors and pop ups is they put out different volumes of water in a given period of time. Actually, I have mixed on zone and it works OK, you just can't exceed total volume per minute.

I'm not hitting very well on my recipes of late. Twice now, when reading a recipe, I've made a statement to myself along the lines of "well that doesn't sound right". Then I'll sally forth without listening to my own instincts.
This recipe is based off of one in Mark Bittman's new cookbook The Best Recipes in the World. There are several items in the recipe that I had made my own adjustments to, and then one critical step which I did exactly what the recipe called for. I've fixed the faux pas in the recipe below.
His initial recipe does not call for tempering the eggs before putting them into the tomato sauce. Like a fool, I did not adjust, thinking that the recipe knew best in this instance. I was wrong.
The taste of the dish, however, is still pretty good. Tara and I sat through dinner thinking of all of the different ingredients that would add to this dish. Shredded turkey, spinach, black beans and ham were all individually mentioned. Thinking on it now, any ingredient which can be put into an ommellette, can be put in this dish. What I'm trying to get at here is that, although this recipe can stand on its own, it should also be considered a basis for other recipes.
- 15 five inch corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch strips
- Corn oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 6 serrano chilis, seeded, destemmed and minced
- 2 cans diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 cups of chicken stock
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 1/2 cups queso asadero (Chihuahua or Menonita can also be used)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves(optional)
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 inch of corn oil to the skillet. Bring to temperature.
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
When the oil is hot, add a handful of the tortilla strips and allow to fry until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tortilla strips until all have been fried. Set aside.
Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the oil. Then set the heat under the skillet to medium high. Add the onions, garlic and chilis to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and cook for 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess water from the skillet, then add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Lower the temperature beneath the sauce to a simmer and allow to cook until thickened , approximately 20-25 minutes.
In a seperate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs. After the tomato sauce has completed cooking, take 1/8 cup of the sauce and slowly mix it into eggs. Whisk together well. Then pour the egg mixture into the tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper and stir.
Coat a 3-quart pyrex baking pan with a layer of the tomato sauce. Top with a layer of tortilla chips, and the a layer of cheese. Repeat this tomato-chip-cheese layering, ending with the sauce and cheese.
Cover the baking dish with foil and place into the oven. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to cool and set, approximately 5-7 minutes. Cut into squares and serve, topping with sour cream and cilantro to garnish.

DCA's opening exhibition of 2013 is an intriguing prospect: an exhibition of work by performance artist, painter, poet, musician, critic and theroetician Jutta Koether.
Born in Cologne but subsequently based in New York and Berlin, Koether has been influenced along the way by elements of underground culture. Street art, cartoon art and punk have all manifested in her work. Occasionally this spills over into collaborative work: Koether has worked with seminal New York post-punk band Television and Kim Gordon of art-rock legends Sonic Youth.
Koether's paintings are vibrant and textured, often featuring media suggestive of alternative culture. However, some works in the exhibition draw inspiration from a very different source, Nicolas Poussin's prized Seven Sacraments series of paintings.
It's the sign of another great year of art in Dundee, with more to come at DCA and the inaugural Print Festival Scotland in the autumn. Given Koether's recent exhibitions, including the Whitney and Sao Paulo Biennials, this is a strong start.

- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
Supplement Amount WhyAloe Apply gel on gauze or dressings daily [2 stars]Aloe has been used historically to improve wound healing and studies have shown it to be effective in healing skin ulcers.Diosmin and Hesperidin 900 mg per day of diosmin and 100 mg per day of hesperidin [2 stars]One trial found that a combination of the flavonoids diosmin and hesperidin promoted healing of venous leg ulcers. Hydroxyethylrutosides (related flavonoids) may also help.Essential Fatty Acids Topical Refer to label instructions [2 stars]In one study, topically applied essential fatty acids significantly lessened pressure ulcers and improved skin hydration and elasticity in malnourished people, who frequently develop ulcers.Evening Primrose Oil 1,500 mg with each meal [2 stars]A preliminary report suggested that evening primrose oil improves blood flow to the legs and heals or reduces the size of venous leg ulcers.Folic Acid Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner [2 stars]Large amounts of folic acid given both orally and by injection could promote healing of chronic skin ulcers due to poor circulation.Gotu Kola Apply an ointment or powder containing 1 to 2% herbal extract daily [2 stars]Gotu kola extracts may be used topically to help speed wound healing.Hyaluronic Acid Apply a gel containing a partial benzyl ester derivative of hyaluronan under compression bandaging daily [2 stars]A trial found that topical application of a hyaluronic acid compound with compression bandaging was significantly better than bandaging alone for healing chronic venous skin ulcers.Pycnogenol 150 mg per day orally, along with topical application of 100 mg daily [2 stars]In a controlled study, symptoms of diabetic skin ulcers improved in those treated with standard medications plus oral and topical Pycnogenol.Vitamin C 1,000 mg daily [2 stars]Supplementing with vitamin C may help prevent skin ulcers and speed healing.Vitamin E Oral 400 IU daily [2 stars]Antioxidants, such as vitamin E, are depleted in healing skin tissue. Studies have shown that vitamin E taken orally to be effective at preventing skin ulcers and promoting healing.Zinc Take under medical supervision: 50 mg of zinc (plus 1 to 3 mg of copper daily, to prevent depletion) and apply zinc-containing bandages or tape to the area [2 stars]Supplementing with zinc may help some types of skin ulcer by facilitating tissue growth.Comfrey Topical Refer to label instructions [1 star]Comfrey has a long history of use as a topical agent for treating wounds, skin ulcers, thrombophlebitis, bruises, and sprains and strains.Vitamin E Topical Refer to label instructions [1 star]Antioxidants such as vitamin E, are depleted in healing skin tissue. One study found that topically applied vitamin E shortened the healing time of skin ulcers.
About This Condition
Skin ulcers are open sores that are often accompanied by the sloughing-off of inflamed tissue.
Skin ulcers can be caused by a variety of events, such as trauma, exposure to heat or cold, problems with blood circulation, or irritation from exposure to corrosive material. Pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus ulcers or bedsores, are skin ulcers that develop on areas of the body where the blood supply has been reduced because of prolonged pressure; these may occur in people confined to bed or a chair, or in those who must wear a hard brace or plaster cast. Skin ulcers may become infected, with serious health consequences. Other health conditions that can cause skin ulcers include mouth ulcers (canker sores), chronic venous insufficiency, diabetes, infection, and peripheral vascular disease.

This is the perfect hangout beach, with plenty of shade, bars, and seafront restaurants to take refuge in from the sun. Playa Sámara has miles of palm-shaded beach, safe swimming water, and an abundance of budget accommodations and seafront restaurants. This makes it especially popular with budget travelers, both Tico and foreign.
Sámara's wide sweep of light gray sand is framed by two forest-covered hills jutting out on either side. The waves break out on a reef that lines the entrance of the cove, several hundred yards offshore, which keeps the water calm enough for safe swimming but leaves enough surf to have fun in. The reef holds plenty of marine attractions for diving and snorkeling excursions. Isla Chora, at the south end of the bay, provides a sheltered area that is especially popular for kayakers and snorkelers—it even has a tiny beach at lower tides. This can be a lively place on weekends, with bars on the beaches and handicraft vendors set up on the main drag. Take care on a sandy roadway running through the coconut palms and Indian almond trees that line the beach, so be sure to look both ways when you move between the surf and Margaritaville.
Sámara isn't the cleanest of beaches (no Blue Flag), and those seeking solitude should head to the beach's western or eastern ends. Though it lacks the rip currents that make many Costa Rican beaches dangerous, Sámara is not the best beach for swimming from September to December, when daily rains flush plenty of things you wouldn't want to swim with into the sea.

Yeah reset that on board pc when ever you want to recheck your MPG. Like when you go on a highway miles trip.
Here's what I do. When I am getting ready for a 60 mile highway ride I let the vehicle warm up. THEN when I pull out of the driveway I reset the pc to see how I do on a highway trip.
For Highway driving I get 20 MPG+. BUT it all averages out and overall I am getting around 15+ mixed city/highway.
So really the vehicle gets around 15. BUT a LONG HIGHWAAY trip I do good at 20+.
These rigs do great in the snow and light off road, IF you get some decent ALL TERRAIN TIRES. I have a few folks up here at tahoe that say the AWD VAN does much better in the snow than their CHevy/GMC pickups and SUV's.
Good Luck.

My stock General tires are not that great when I 90 degree turn on snow. I need to remember to slow down for that. I see what you mean.
On the next road trip I will reset and check highway milage. Thanks.2011 Chevy Express 1500 AWD

These were the tires that came on my 2010 savana. General Ameritracs http://www.tirerack.com/survey/Surve...irePageLocQty=
After reading through the reviews on TireRack and speaking to some Express/Savana AWD owners around Lake Tahoe that initially had them, I decided to immediately sell them and the wheels. I got $500 for the tires and GMC wheels. I called around town one day to local businesses like Plumbing co's Airconditioning heating co's and I sold them in a half hour. I am glad I did. Folks told me some bad stuff about them. Particularly in snow and rain, plus they don't last anyway.
Worst rated tire on tire rack. Be careful if you have these General Ameritracs. I only had them on for 200 miles so I can't give a full evaluation. I did however drive them twice in a thunderstorm and once while getting on the freeway accelerating on a sharp turn ramp that enters the freeway I b roke traction. I didn't like that. I had new wheels ordered right after I got the vehicle so I just got rid of them. The BFG's have been very nice. LOL Any AT tire toyo, GY, bridgestone etc, would be better than those Ameritracs. I wanted Peace of Mind as I drive off road frequently and in snow. I am happy i dumped them.2010 GMC Savana AWD

Bought my 2002 conversion van in early November. With the 5.7, 3:73's & 235-70-15 tires I got 18.5 mpg's with cruise control set to 65 mph on 2 hour highway ride home. Since then I've added taller tires. Don't know what kind of mileage I'm getting now.
Looks like I'll need to put in 4:11's to get my final drive ratio back to stock. Hopefully this summer + a TrueTrack

Gov. Paul LePage's health and human services chief told Portland-area business leaders Wednesday that Maine should not expand its Medicaid program through the federal health care law.
Mary Mayhew, commissioner of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, speaks at the Portland Community Chamber's Eggs 'N Issues breakfast at Holiday Inn By the Bay in Portland Wednesday.
John Patriquin / Staff Photographer
Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew was the keynote speaker at the Portland Regional Chamber's Eggs 'N Issues breakfast. She focused on making the case against expanding Medicaid, at a time when the department is dealing with controversies including a plan to move its Portland offices to South Portland, a failing rides system for Medicaid recipients and the hiring of an out-of-state contractor to evaluate its public benefits system.
Mayhew addressed all three controversies with reporters after her remarks at the Holiday Inn by the Bay.
In her speech, she said Maine's current Medicaid program, MaineCare, is crowding out other state funding priorities.
"This explosion in cost and enrollment is unsustainable," Mayhew said, and "without reform and change it's unsustainable."
Medicaid expansion, a key component of the Affordable Care Act, is a partisan issue in state houses across the country, including Maine. Most Republican administrations, including LePage's, have opposed expansion, a strategy that coincides with other efforts to resist implementation of the federal health care law.
LePage vetoed two legislative efforts to expand Medicaid earlier this year. Democrats, who have majorities in the Legislature, will try again when lawmakers reconvene for an emergency session in January.
Both sides in the debate have intensified their public relations campaigns over an issue that may play into the 2014 legislative and gubernatorial elections. Additionally, President Obama has begun pressuring Republican governors to expand Medicaid.
In Maine, advocates say expansion would provide health insurance to more than 60,000 low-income residents, with the federal government paying 100 percent of the expansion costs before gradually drawing down to 90 percent reimbursement.
Mayhew said the budget turmoil this year in Washington, D.C., should be a warning against assuming that the federal government will be able to keep its funding promise. Even if the federal dollars arrived as promised, she said, the state would pay $150 million a year.
Mayhew also drew a rhetorical link between the state's reliance on federal dollars and a welfare system that should not be "the goal or the finish line" for beneficiaries. She said Maine should evaluate its "insatiable appetite for federal dollars, in particular Medicaid dollars," which have "blurred lines" between assistance and "dependency."
House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, said in a written statement that Mayhew's speech was a continuation of her department's "effort to deny and delay health care to tens of thousands of working Mainers, including nearly 3,000 veterans."
In her remarks before the business community, Mayhew said the state's current $2.4 billion in Medicaid spending takes most of the DHHS' $3.4 billion annual budget.
She said previous expansions have put the most needy on waiting lists for coverage. And, she said, the program creates "annual shortfalls of tens of millions of dollars" and is "perpetually suffering from financial challenges."
Eves responded by saying, "Businesses in Maine know that accepting federal health ccare dollars to cover working Mainers is a good deal. No business leader would turn away an additional $700,000 a day for their company because of politics. But that's what Gov. LePage is doing. Starting on Jan. 1, Maine will lose out on an additional $700,000 a day while nearly 25,000 Mainers lose care."
The DHHS is the subject of controversies that include a plan to move its Cumberland County regional office from Marginal Way near downtown Portland to a site nearly four miles away, near the Portland International Jetport. Opponents say the move would make it harder for people who seek public assistance to get it.

Lost Girl – Supernatural-Noir TV Show
During the Fall of 2010, Showcase debuted a fresh contemporary fantasy television program titled Lost Girl. The series follows the trials and tribulations of a modern day succubus called Bo, played by Anna Silk, as she discovers how to master her powers, assists people in need, and discovers the truth of her past. You can get an up to date episode list from Lost Girl Episode Guide.
The series is reminiscent of The Dresden Files, but in a good way. In the Dresden Files, the main character, Harry Dresden, is a wizard PI for hire in the modern world. The TV show was absolutely terrible – read the books, which are terrific!
The series quickly sets up a romantic triangle and the inevitable problems that arise. Bo develops romantic relationships with both Dyson, a wolf shifter police detective, and Lauren, a human scientist.
Then there's Bo's little human ex-thief (mostly) crime-fighting sidekick, goth/punk Kenzi. She's a fearless little scrapper, but often needs Bo to fix the problems she brings on herself.
In the premier episode, Bo saves Kenzi from being assaulted by a guy who rufied her. They quickly become friends and upon learning Bo's secret, Kenzi decides they should team up to start a Fae/Human detective agency. Confronted by the Fae elders with having to align herself with either the "Light" or "Dark" Fae, Bo declares herself neutral. Choosing to side with humans after Kenzi risked her life to help Bo, where most of the Fae simply saw her as as on oddity that should either be eliminated as a danger or exploited for their benefit.
Throughout the season, Bo learns more about the Fae world and herself while she searches for clues about her real mother. Go to lostgirlepisodeguide.com for more episodes.

Security Seals Mailings
I like going out a lot and one of my favorite spots is at the Mac Donald's fast foods and I "worship" (apologies for the word) the burgers, the beef burger is a piece of creation that we all endow to share its scrumptious beef and "hallelujah" to the whole master piece. Sorry for getting carried away… you know you somewhat just see the smell and all burgers saying, "Feed … feed." Please, do not drool I am the one who drools over the burgers. Oh …yeah! I wanted to say there is this day while headed to Mac Donald's I passed through the post office … where I received a parcel from a pal, it was quite cute, and all wrapped up with some interesting seals or security seals anyway that is what it read. Anyways, why would she use so much sealing to send Gucci bras? I wanted to try them out but then I got horrendous looks from some girls.rbdrodeo.com
Make Time For An RC Helicopter
When it comes to introducing a little more fun into your life, you might find that there just does not seem to be enough time. This is a problem that a lot of people find themselves experiencing. Luckily for you though, you will find that there is great fun to be had with an RC helicopter. Even if you have never had the thrill of the RC world, you might want to go ahead and dive right in, because it is not likely to be a purchase that you are going to regret.
All that you need is a few hours a week or a few times a month in order to get all kinds of enjoyment from your RC helicopter. This might seem like a lot to some people, but you owe it to yourself and you will find that once you start flying the helicopter, that there is a ton of ways to make sure that you are finding all of the time that you need and want. All you need now is the perfect RC to start your new hobby and you are off to a great adventure.rbdrodeo.com
Three Good Reasons To Choose RC Boats
There are lots of reasons to invest in a remote controlled vehicle whether that is a boat, a car, a helicopter, or even a plane. However, remote control cars take the cake when it comes to offering the most benefits. The first and most notable reason is its ease of use.
Compared to cars, planes, and helicopters, RC boats are easy to learn how to use and have fun with. You don't have a big learning curve like you do when you are trying to get a plane up off the ground. It literally takes minutes before you are able to start learning new tricks and stuff.
Another good reason to choose a boat over another type of RC vehicle is because as long as you have some water to put it in, you are good to go. You can't say that with a helicopter because any kind of wind would significantly affect the performance. The final reason you might want to hold out for a boat is because it stays cool in the water during hot weather, and it can get rained on without being ruined. It's for use all year round!rbdrodeo.com

state(n.) The last-known or current status of an application or a process. The terms maintaining state and/or managing state refer to keeping track of the condition of the process.
The Internet is intrinsically stateless because each request for a new Web page is processed without any knowledge of previous pages requested. This is one of the chief drawbacks to the HTTP protocol. Because maintaining state is extremely useful, programmers have developed a number of techniques to add state to the World Wide Web. These include server APIs, such as NSAPI and ISAPI, and the use of cookies.

What to Shop for This Weekend: Chic Cape Coats to GLAM UP ANY WINTER LOOK
It seems our motto this season is shaping up to be: So many coats, so little time. Yes, we've already highlighted several must-buy styles and they're all fabulous, but as the holiday season approaches, we're looking to one specific silhouette to help add some old-world glamour to our party looks: The ever-chic cape.
Capes were a force to be reckoned with during fall/winter 2012 fashion weeks, with Dolce & Gabbana leading the pack, sending a slew of different versions down its runway. As expected, some of our favorite personal-style bloggers like Helena of Brooklyn Blonde are also jumping on the cape train, showcasing cute new ways to wear the dramatic piece.
We checked out what's available now at some of the top online boutiques and compiled a list of options to consider when shopping this weekend!

City workers, public excelled during storm
Novelist Amelia Barr is quoted: "It is only in sorrow, bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it!"
This is exactly what I witnessed over the past few days as Waterbury faced and conquered what has been termed by some as a hybrid storm, the likes of which we have never seen. It goes without saying that the men and women who work for the city have had practice and preparation over the past few years, but their dedication, professional conduct and seemingly endless amounts of energy defy imagination.

About Us
Who are we?
We are a Preston based Family run company producing environmentally friendly wood Briquettes primarily for use on log burners and open fires. They can also be used as a summer fuel in Chimeneas and Fire Pits. You still have to have fun!
We are a fun, forward thinking, friendly bunch. We want to engage and educate people about the many benefits of burning briquettes so please feel welcome to come in and talk to us. If we can offer a green sustainable wood fuel at competitive prices with many advantages we believe this is the easiest fastest way to promote CO2 reduction. We make it Easy to do your bit!. We aim to work with and encourage local Environmental groups.
We seek to fill the gap between East European produced briquettes normally dark long and sometimes with a hole through the middle and tiny UK producers making small briquettes as a sideline. We aim to bring a superb consistent quality product with great packaging on a local basis, it's called localisation and is very sustainable.
We are also working on producing briquettes from waste paper, agricultural crops and supplying power stations in the UK.
Waste reduction is also another important area where we can help the county reduce its landfill by producing Briquettes from less consumer friendly products either to burn at power stations or take less room in landfill.
We are interested in developing relationships with farmers to grow and briquette sustainable crops such as Miscanthus grass a high energy fast growing sustainable fuel.
We will also bring you innovative products for your log burners. We are working on a warm air distribution system that sucks hot air from the register plate and blows it around the home, heating up to 5 rooms!

Anniston fire Lt. Eric Arnold said the department got the call at 2:50 p.m., and no one was injured in the accident.
Thomas Rostofer, 26, said he ran a red light and hit two cars crossing the intersection on 19th Street.
Bria Forbes, 18, was driving a gray Honda to Jack's when she was struck, she said, her voice shaky.
"He ran the light and hit us," said Robin Gunn, the driver of a purple Dodge Neon.
Gunn was driving to work at Stringfellow Hospital with co-worker, Lorenzo Pointer, in the passenger seat, Gunn said.
Pointer said he wasn't physically hurt in the crash.
"I can't make no money today," Pointer said. "I'm hurting from that."
Rostofer, who was driving Chevrolet pickup truck, said he had just left work at Monarch Windows and Doors and was in a hurry to get home. He hadn't noticed the light change, he said.

Extinction risk from global warming
|This article's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. (April 2011)
The extinction risk of global warming is the risk species have of becoming extinct due to the effects of global warming.
Current projections[edit]
The scientific consensus in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report is that
"Anthropogenic warming could lead to some impacts that are abrupt or irreversible, depending upon the rate and magnitude of the climate change."
"There is medium confidence that approximately 20-30% of species assessed so far are likely to be at increased risk of extinction if increases in global average warming exceed 1.5-2.5 °C (relative to 1980-1999). As global average temperature increase exceeds about 3.5 °C, model projections suggest significant extinctions (40-70% of species assessed) around the globe."
In one study published in Nature in 2004, between 15 and 37% of 1103 endemic or near-endemic known plant and animal species will be "committed to extinction" by 2050.[1] More properly, changes in habitat by 2050 will put them outside the survival range for the inhabitants, thus committing the species to extinction.
Other researchers, such as Thuiller et al.,[2] Araújo et al.[3] , Person et al.,[4] Buckley and Roughgarden,[5] and Harte et al.[6] have raised concern regarding uncertainty in Thomas et al.'s projections; some of these studies believe it is an overestimate, others believe the risk could be greater. Thomas et al. replied in Nature [7] addressing criticisms and concluding "Although further investigation is needed into each of these areas, it is unlikely to result in substantially reduced estimates of extinction. Anthropogenic climate change seems set to generate very large numbers of species-level extinctions." On the other hand, Daniel Botkin et al. state "... global estimates of extinctions due to climate change (Thomas et al. 2004) may have greatly overestimated the probability of extinction..."[8]
Mechanistic studies are documenting extinctions due to recent climate change: McLaughlin et al. documented two populations of Bay checkerspot butterfly being threatened by precipitation change.[9] Parmesan states, "Few studies have been conducted at a scale that encompasses an entire species"[10] and McLaughlin et al. agreed "few mechanistic studies have linked extinctions to recent climate change."[9]
In 2008, the white lemuroid possum was reported to be the first known mammal species to be driven extinct by man-made global warming. However, these reports were based on a misunderstanding. One population of these possums in the mountain forests of northern Queensland is severely threatened by climate change as the animals cannot survive extended temperatures over 30 °C. However, another population 100 kilometres south remains in good health.[11]
According to research published in the January 4, 2012 Proceedings of the Royal Society B current climate models may be flawed because they overlook two important factors: the differences in how quickly species relocate and competition among species. According to the researchers, led by Mark Urban, an ecologist at the University of Connecticut, diversity decreased when they took these factors into account, and that new communities of organisms, which do not exist today, emerged. As a result the rate of extinctions may be higher than previously projected.[12]
