blue's bed and breakfast: neighborhood Home
The Avon Hill area is an upscale residential neighborhood close to Porter Square. A mixture of stately old houses and classic brick apartment buildings, the neighborhood is easily accessible to Massachusetts Avenue but without the noise and traffic.
Guests are often amazed that the dominant sounds are the crickets in a summer night or the songs of birds in the garden in the morning. Several streets between Blue's Bed and Breakfast and nearby Porter Square are on the National Register of Historic Places, lined with beautiful houses unchanged from Victorian days.
Nearby Porter Square, with its shopping, restaurants and access to the MBTA Red line and Commuter Rail stations, is a vibrant and bustling community, within walking distance of both Harvard Square in Cambridge and Davis Square in Somerville. The Commuter Rail train takes you directly to Boston's North Station, as well as to Brandeis University in Waltham, or to historic Concord, Massachusetts, birthplace of the American Revolution. Things to Do, and So Many Places to Eat! There is so much to do in and about Harvard and Cambridge...museums, music, arts, theatre, lectures, galleries; stores, restaurants, book stores.
Here is the official Cambridge website.
There are dozens of restaurants within walking distance. Peruse menus in the notebook we've compiled of local eateries, or glance through the choices on Expore New England. Some of our specific recommendations:
As a start, the 'glass flowers' exhibit at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, just 3/4 mile away, merits 3 stars in the Michelin guide to New England. See also the Harvard art and anthropology museums. Come on a Thursday night for lectures, science fiction films, and or telescope viewing at Harvard's Observatory. Harvard Square is just one mile from the B&B, a 15 minute walk.
We always love Elephant Walk with Cambodian and French cuisine.

Winegard's Introduces Boost™ Amplifier: More Range, More Channels, Better TV Reception
Amplifier with Clear Circuit™ Technology Reduces TV Pixelation and Dropouts
BURLINGTON, Iowa – (April 18, 2013)
–Winegard today introduced the
Boost digital TV antenna amplifier
, the most advanced digital dual-band TV antenna booster available on the market. Boost delivers a crystal clear TV signal to your HDTV so viewers can watch more broadcast TV channels in high definition than with an antenna alone. It has a 50-mile range.
"Boost is an amazing amplifier that uses our Clear Circuit™ Technology," said Winegard National Sales Manager Grant Whipple. "Its ultra low noise design allows the amp to preserve the digital signal without introducing unwanted noise into the digital TV tuner. The result is more local TV channels with minimal pixelation and dropouts for the best viewing experience possible. And it works with any existing unamplified TV antenna."
The revolutionary technology uses powerful micro components to produce the lowest noise level (1dB) TV amplifier available today. That translates to crystal clear HDTV channel reception.
"Most people don't realize that there is much more to amplifier performance than the gain spec alone. You can amplify a signal all you want, but if you are introducing too much noise as current amplifiers do, you can hurt reception more than help it," explained Whipple. "Adding the Boost between your non-amplified antenna and television overcomes the 4dB of signal loss inherent with other amplifiers."
Using a unique energy saving USB power supply or optional 110 volt plug, Boost delivers a clearer and cleaner signal so viewers can watch more broadcast TV channels in high definition. Innovative engineering from Winegard, the antenna experts, brings viewers the best broadcast TV pictures available today.
Boost is available at the Winegard online store,

Help! About to crawl....
Started by
, Jan 18 2013 12:39 PM
7 replies to this topic
#1Posted 18 January 2013 - 12:39 PM
The boys are about to crawl. I can't imagine how I am going to manage two crawling babies!
Advice please? Particularly interested to hear if you used a playpen (or not). We also have a 27 month old to juggle at the same time. Some days I think I will put myself in the playpen with a bottle of wine and let the kids run amok... #2Posted 18 January 2013 - 03:22 PM
We didn't use a playpen but we did use a baby gate and gated off the lounge room, the lounge is where they played all day, we had a 3 year old, the gate we got had a foot pedal so he was able to open it himself so we weren't having to be up and down constantly letting him in and out. We didn't have any issues with them crawling (but hide your DVDs lol, it's the one thing we forgot to do ). Once they were walking it made things sooooooooooooo much easier, I didn't have to lug two kids around anymore, so see this as a step towards that
#3Posted 18 January 2013 - 09:57 PM
I've declared a 'baby zone' in the lounge room and use a long pregnancy pillow, the swing and the car capsules to make a wall. It's easy enough for us all to walk over, but the babies are locked in. For now....
Both mine are on the move but not fully crawling. One should achieve it this weekend he is trying so hard. When this happens I will be making the 'baby zone' bigger and expanding it to incorporate the dining room too. I'll then need to use a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs and close the gate to the kitchen (stable door plantation). I've started training my 27 month old to not put any toys other than baby safe toys in the 'baby zone'. They have to remain on the other side of the wall. So far so good. Not sure how he will go when the dining room gets barred too. But we'll see... Good luck! #4Posted 18 January 2013 - 10:00 PM
Oh and I meant to say that I've heard bad things about play pens and twins. Like one twin lifting it up for the other to go under. Probably older than 7 months of course. But also about toddlers letting them out etc. I decided it was too hard for me to supervise all the time, and think its easier to just train the toddler and others from day one about respecting the 'baby zone'.
#5Posted 19 January 2013 - 04:23 PM
Once they start crawling is new found freedom to them soon they start to pull up so be careful of all things within arms length for them to pull down on them.
We used a babypen but around the TV cabinet to make it out of boundaries so they didn't try to climb it. We had a long cabinet so bought two wooden ones and broke them down to make longer side and shorter sides. Worked a treat. Nowhere was out of bounds if the doors were open, therefore you closed bedroom doors, laundry doors or installed gates. Worked well for us. Other than that kept the floors clean and tidy and was pretty on top of the no getting on the lounge ie. swinging legs up to climb. We never had a problem with them climbing. There were great crawlers and learnt to pull themselves up not too long after that. Have fun! #6Posted 22 January 2013 - 09:26 AM
Two crawling babies are so cute! My two had different techniques for awhile, one did the standard crawl and the other did what we called a caterpiller crawl.
We gated the kitchen and laundry once they crawled. Basically because it became too difficult to do things in the laundry and kitchen as they would just follow me in there and get underfoot, empty drawers and cupboards and mess up laundry piles etc. It also made me feel safer when cooking. I had a playpen and also used a portacot. So if I was hanging washing up, having a shower, I would put them each in one, otherwise they would climb things and get into stuff they shouldn't, if they went in together they would hair pull or fight. The playpen got the most use as a retreat for my 2yo DD. She could play with her toys or do some drawing in the playpen without the babies wrecking it. We made our playpen had a foam mat which was attached to the bottom with a cotton cover, so it couldn't be lifted or pushed around. #7Posted 23 January 2013 - 09:29 PM
Thanks for the good advice. I am reading this daily and trying to think what I can do to get ready!
Hadn't even thought about the babies attacking each other in the one playpen, but as soon as I read it I knew that would be right. Already they inadvertently eye gouge, pinch, wrestle each other! We have a playpen contraption that we can reconfigure into a pen of any size or shape (or two different pens). At the moment I am starting to think about one pen downstairs and one upstairs as I can only carry them up the stairs one at a time, so the other one gets left temporarily and I need somewhere safe to leave them. PS NYB - please explain to me how you are getting your 27 month old to respect the baby zone! I can't get my 27 month old to respect anything!!! #8Posted 23 January 2013 - 10:12 PM
Literally in the past month he has really started talking heaps, so I think something along with this has been triggered in his brain, and he now listens about 60% of the time. It's seriously gone from 10% to 60% since mid December.
He also likes to be helpful, so I use this to persuade him where possible. He quite likes the babies too, which is helping a lot. Plus my 4 year old has a power over him like I've never seen, so he listens to the 4 year old quite a lot. 2 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 2 guests, 0 anonymous users |

New & classic episodes on demand
As Block, Spider, Octagon Man, Grimm Death, and (most often) Depth Charge, DJ/producer Jonathon Saul Kane has been one of the more consistent and innovative forces on the U.K. dance scene since the late '80s. Recording classic tracks such as "Bounty Killers" and "The Demented Spirit," as well as remixing everyone from Eon, Bomb the Bass, and Sabres of Paradise to Senser, Silver Fox and S'Express, Kane's work has kept in constant touch with dance music's hip-hop, funk, and electro roots, a fact which places him at the nexus of a number of recent hybrids and resurgent styles. His 1989 Vinyl Solution 12-inch, "Bounty Killers," is roundly considered one of the earliest examples of uptempo trip-hop, mixing chunky sampled breakbeats with brutalizing bass and kitschy kung fu samples (a style which marks his popular Depth Charge work to this day). Additionally, Kane's two labels, D.C. (trip-hop and dub) and Electron Industries (electro and techno), have been responsible for some of the more memorable moments in mid-'90s underground dance music, and have included releases from Damon Baxter (Sem, Deadly Avenger), Ian Loveday (Eon), and Delta, as well as Depth Charge and Octagon Man releases such as "Shaolin Buddha Finger," "10ft. Flowers," "The Legend of the Golden Snake," and The Exciting World of Octagon Man. Many of Kane's earlier (1991-1994) Depth Charge releases were compiled on the compilation Nine Deadly Venoms, released in 1994. Several singles and EPs followed on DC Recordings during the next few years, but it wasn't until 1999 that Kane returned with another Depth Charge full-length. First, the mix-album Electro Boogie: Shape Generator dropped in April 1999, then the production album Lust followed in October. Lust Vol. 2 followed shortly in February of 2000. Kane also helped found Made in Hong Kong, a film festival and video label (through Vinyl Solution) focusing on the promotion and distribution of films in the Hong Kong action cinema genre associated with actors and directors such as Chow Yun Fat, Ringo Lam, Wong Kar-Wai, John Woo, and Jackie Chan.

but in my Google webmaster tools section under links pointing to my site, Google has them listed.
It feels as if this has been discussed in the link dev forum at least a hundred times in the past year. It seems as if this comes up at least once a week. There is a huge misunderstanding about this. So here we go... again. ;) I'm going to have to put a sticky about this so we stop repeating this answer over and over again.
Google has always shown samples. Even the WMT tool results are only samples. That means it shows links that count for ranking and links that do not count for ranking. This has been the case since Google began showing backlink data.
I hope this clears up the misunderstanding about what your WMT results mean.

Citing Medicaid Limits, ED Docs Sue WA State
Because EMTALA requires emergency departments to examine patients seeking care, "we still have to see them and we have to make sure they don't have an emergency," Anderson says. "The problem is that sometimes it takes a full evaluation to figure out that this burning crushing chest pain is heartburn and not a heart attack. What the state is saying is yes by federal law you have to see them and do the work up, but when you're done with the work up, if it turns out it wasn't a heart attack then you aren't going to get paid for any of that."
Jim Stevenson, chief communications officer for the Washington State Healthcare Authority, says ACEP has "misrepresented a little bit" the new restrictions. "The code doesn't refer to all chest pains. It only refers to non-cardiac, non-specific, generalized chest pains," Stevenson says. "This is not someone who is coming to the hospital in the belief that there is an emergency. It would probably be someone who has been at the emergency several times before with the same complaint. Many of these un-generalized complaints do end up looking for narcotics as a treatment."
The Washington State Health Care Authority issued a statement explaining the new restrictions and noted that the three-visit limit would not apply to:
- Children placed by the department in out-of-home care with foster parents, relatives, or other caregivers
- Clients delivered to the ED by ambulance, police or EMTs.
- Visits for mental health diagnoses or for clients seeking detoxification services
- Visits that result in an inpatient admission, emergency surgery, or admission for observation.
The authority said the program also created an "exception to rule" process by which hospitals can appeal non-emergency billings on the grounds of special circumstances.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Julie Lohman (10/18/2011 at 6:46 PM)
Medicaid has allowed their clients to receive this kind of care for years - they are not introducing an approach that would ease these clients into the new culture - the patients and the hospitals are going to suffer radically for the culture that medicaid allowed -It could be interpreted that they errored and the patient and hospital will be punished.
Louise B. Andrew MD JD (10/8/2011 at 5:46 PM)
This is a blatant attempt to cut costs in order to meet a state budget, by circumventing federal "prudent layperson" law and forcing Emergency physicians to assume financial responsibility for screening indigent patients for emergencies. The state provides no other mechanism to do so. Other federal law (EMTALA) requires that it be done. So ED's are left as the safety net, which also must eat the costs. Attempting to frame this as a drug seeking or ED abuse issue is disingenuous at best and ill-informed at least. It will probably take a few out-of-hospital deaths of Medicaid patients with so called "non emergent" presenting complaints to make this issue public enough that the law will be changed legislatively, if the lawsuit is unsuccessful at toppling an unsound, fiscally motivated, and basically unconscionable piece of legislation.
Lisa Barber RN (10/5/2011 at 4:33 PM)
This program discriminates against poor and rural areas that have limited number of clinic physicians and no Urgent care clinics available. This proposal will cause patients needing care to wait until they are much sicker before seeking care and end up causing the tax payers more money. As the director of a rural emergency department, most patients we see frequently have psychiatric issues or have learning dosabilities and have difficulty understanding the difference between clinic care and emergency care. They only know they need help.

@martinibuster great comments! (the voice of reason)
I agree that it depends on the match between the content of the site (and ads) and the users' intent. It's the same as any other conversion on your site (purchase, email sign up). It's about the "right" traffic, not just traffic.
Just as I'm sure there are lots of people who have had difficult to explain drops in traffic, there are also those who constantly test, tweak, and adapt to keep the level of earnings up. I've had everything from sites with great traffic that get 0.01% CTR on AdSense to sites that get 7-8%. It all depends on why the user is on your site and how close they are to the point where they may convert (though testing different ad creatives doesn't hurt).
I wouldn't style myself a guru by any stretch though my network of sites (no I won't tell you what they are) makes 7 figures from AdSense. If I had one tip for those that are using AdSense it would be - don't use the default creatives AdSense gives you. Test, test, test, different creatives, colors, ad sizes.
Also, you're crazy if AdSense is your only source of revenue. If it is, diversify into affiliate, CPM, etc.

Suppose you would like to have access to a particular path from within terminal. For example, if you have your executables in a folder called ~/my_program/bin you may want to have access to the executables from everywhere within terminal. One way to achieve this is to add that particular path to your path list in the ".bashrc" file. So, how to do that?
First launch a file browser and go to your home folder. You need then to edit the ".bashrc" file which is a hidden file in your home folder. You would therefore first need to make Ubuntu show your hidden files. In the menu bar on the top of the file browser window, select "View/Show Hidden Files" and check the mark . Here is a graphic for your reference:
Then find the file ".bashrc" file and open it with the text editor. You would then need to append a line or two to the file. For example, if you would like to add the path~/my_program/bin, you would need to add the following line to the file:

There is sometimes a problem with the MATLAB in Ubuntu. The problem is that after installing MATLAB, you might get just a blank screen (blank GUI window) without any option menu, command line, etc. To solve this problem, find the file "environment" (the path is: /etc/environment). Add the following line to the file and try again:
export AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit"
The problem should have been solved. If not, try restarting your computer.

If you have got a rar file (or other file formats not naively supported by Ubuntu's archive manager- such as arj, 7zip, etc), you need to install extra packages so that Archive Manager can handle these file formats. For example, if you would like to unrar a file in Ubuntu, you need to install the package unrar. Open a terminal (command window) and simply issue this command:
sudo apt-get install unrar-free
for a non-free option, you can use:
sudo apt-get install unrar
You might be asked to give your password and then the package is downloaded and installed. After the package is installed, you can use the usual Archive Manager to unrar files.
In general, following file formats are supported by the Archive Manager by default (from Ubuntu documentation- thanks to the contributors to the Ubuntu documentation wiki):
Format |
File extension |
Note |
Tar |
.tar |
gzip |
.tar.gz, .tgz, .gz |
Compressed .tar or compressed single file |
bzip |
.tar.bz, .tbz, .bz |
Compressed .tar or compressed single file |
bzip2 |
.tar.bz2, .tbz2, .bz2 |
Compressed .tar or compressed single file |
.tar.lzma, .lzma |
Compressed .tar or compressed single file |
.zip |
.jar, .ear, .war |
CD images |
.iso |
Read-only |
These file formats are not supported by default and require additional packages to be supported (from Ubuntu documentation again): In the following table, it is mentioned that which package needs to be installed so that the Archie Manager can handle extra file formats.
Format |
File extension |
Note |
7zip |
.7z |
Needs the p7zip package, which doesn't provide multi-volume support. To support password-protected archives, needs the p7zip-full package |
compress |
.Z, .tar.Z, .taz |
Needs the ncompress package |
shar |
.shar |
Needs the sharutils package |
lZO |
.lzo, .tar.lzo, .tzo |
Needs the lzop package |
.lzh, .lha |
Needs the lha package |
.arj |
Needs the arj package |
.ace |
Needs the unace package, providing read-only support |
.rar |
Needs the unrar (non-free) or unrar-free package to extract .rar archives. |

I have been always wondering why this feature is not pre-loaded into Ubuntu. Often times, one is in a particular location (path) within the file system (while using GUI file browser) and would like to open a terminal with the path defaulted to that particular location. I have been always thinking that this should have been as easy as right clicking and opting to open a terminal. Unlike some other Linux distros, it is not the case in ubuntu. But there is a work around for this problem. Just type:
sudo aptitude install nautilus-open-terminal
and the reuiqred package will be downloaded and installed. You probably would need to restart your computer before you can see the option. After restarting, open a GUI file browser and right-click. You should be able to see the option of opening a terminal in that particular path.

Have you ever wanted to Login as "root" in Ubuntu and have gotten the message that the "root" is not allowed to login? Actually, that is because loggin as "root" in Ubuntu is neither recommended nor necessary. Doing so can leave your computer more intrusion-prone and, besides that, it could be that you can mess up some files or make another accidental mistake. Most of times, any administrative command can be issued just by using "sudo" in front of the command. However, in very exceptional cases it is really more convenient or even necessary to login as "root". Then what? It is actually possible to login as root in Ubuntu. But, again, I do not recommend you to do so. As I said, it is almost always unnecessary and dangerous.
Well! if you are still here and really want to know how to login as "root" in Ubuntu (at your own risk), you need to know that two steps are necessary to enable GUI "root" login. First, a password has to be assigned to the "root" account which can be done by issuing the following command in a terminal:
sudo passwd root
Then, if one really wants to enable the GUI "root" login (not recommended, think again!), following command can be used:
gksu gdmsetup
A GUI opens. In the security tab, there is an option which can be used to allow local system administrator login. The option needs to be checked in order to allow the "root" login. I highly recommend you not to do so and if you are keen to do so, do not let it to remain that way and bring the system to its default state AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Reason.tv: North Carolina Bans Rare Burgers! Nanny of the Month (May 2011)
May's biggest busybodies are taking it to poker players and teen tanners, but the nation's top nag has lovers of pink-in-the-middle burgers seeing red.
In a stunning blow to all that is juicy and delicious, the Tar Heel state actually prohibits restaurants from serving rare or medium-rare hamburgers. (And if this crime against meat freedom seems especially un-American, keep in mind that it comes from the same state that once banned Old Glory at public rallies.)
Presenting Reason.tv's Nanny of the Month for May 2011: Terry Pierce of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources!
Approximately 95 seconds.
"Nanny of the Month" is written and produced by Ted Balaker. Opening animation by Meredith Bragg.

How do they determine whether a burger is medium rare? By temperature? By color? By declaration?
If's it's dry, tasteless, and shitty, then it's medium or well done. Problem solved!
I fear this test may fatten up the inspectors.
The regulation dictates all ground beef is to be cooked to an internal temperature of 155°F.
Personally, I like my burgers done, but I also make sure the fat content of the meat is high enough to handle that. This low-fat fad the government is pushing is hurting people's health and I want no part of it. Nor do I want any part of telling people how they have to eat their food.
Maybe one of those cook-it-yourself chains could crop up in North Carolina. Customers/cooks would see stern warnings about undercooking their hamburgers at the grill, naturally.
Naturally! Gawd.
As one who has lost a lot of weight and health problems by following a paleolithic diet (plenty of fatty meat, high-fiber veggies and nuts, less dairy and fruit, and very little grain) choice of how I cook my meat is near and dear to my heart.
This is about what my approach to burgers comes down to. I like a good rare steak, but rare ground beef has never been too appealing to me. Though if it is very lean and you cook it until grey in the middle, it is pretty much inedible.
They have a 'Pink Eye.'
I'll be here all week folks.
California only allows burgers to be served well done. It is the grinding of the meat that deposits bacteria throughout instead of only on the surface like a steak.
When I make my own burgers from steak, I first sear the outside of the steak and *then* grind the meat, form it into burgers, and put them back on the grill. This way I can have rare burgers safely.
That's just excessive, dude. The fear of rare/raw meat is so overblown as to be ridiculous. I make steak tartare and have had no issues, ever.
Yeah, more Mom Panic™ -- I got some sort of food poisoning after eating a rare burger at a nice beer joint and simply up-gunned to medium-rare the next time I ate a burger there.
when it doubt, blame it on a vagina© ® ™
I grew up with my burgers cooked to a rock-hard, black crust and a dry, crumbly center.
Wow, Rather. Put the double-edged spatula down. Most people don't think of "Mom" as "a vagina", they think of her as the often irritating individual that made you wear a sweater whenever she was cold.
Mom Panic™ = blame it on a vagina© ® ™
Men can't help it. Poor little Joan's BBQ anniversary was last week; it must be her witches' curse
It takes basically no extra time because you want to grind the meat immediately before putting it on the grill, anyway. It's not like I have to set up the grill twice. I learned this trick from another dude who makes the tastiest burgers I've ever had and is not at all opposed to raw food: he just recognizes that his meat sources aren't pristine, that it's not much extra work, and that the small extra effort can't possibly hurt.
My approach would be different if I were to slaughter the animal immediately before making the hamburger: in that case there would be no time for bacteria to establish themselves. But no one does this: I, like most people, buy meat that has been sitting around for a while because it comes in smaller quantities and in packaging more convenient than rawhide. Raw meat from a recently-killed animal is fine, but raw meat from something that was killed days or even weeks ago is not the same thing.
At any rate, you should feel free to do whatever you want: the state should not get involved. I think most of us can agree on that.
I say just build up an immunity to E. coli and other food-borne diseases.
Thats the kind of proactive go-getter attitude I like to see. You're hired!
What doesn't kill me rewards my taste buds.
Episiarch|5.26.11 @ 3:11PM|#
I can't even get anywhere but steak houses and very good restaurants to give me a "rare" burger or steak. Well, sometimes the steak will end up medium rare. But even though I say "I want it rare. I mean bloody", they just ignore you and overcook it.That's why I just do it myself. Or make steak tartare instead.
In Europe they do it right-rare. At least in France and Italy they do.
Yep -- my French pals would insist on sniffing the raw slab of beef before deciding on whether to order it or not!
When I make my own burgers from steak
Why would you degrade a good steak by grinding it up?
The whole point of hamburger is to make really tough cuts of beef easier to eat by effectively doing the chewing for you, and perhaps adding fat to make it tastier.
[ I first sear the outside of the steak and *then* grind the meat]
Which accomplishes....nothing.
E coli uses mixed-acid fermentation in an anerobic condidition. Unless your searing heats the middle of your steak to 250 degrees the e coli continue to smile, only later to attack your colon. -
E-coli does not "live" in the meat, but it can contaminate the exterior of meat during the butchering process. Searing the meat would kill it-- which is why hamburger has different regulations surrounding its preparation than steak.
E. coli already lives in your colon. It does not live in muscle, but it can be transferred to the surface by fecal contamination. 250° is totally unnecessary; 155°F will kill most pathogenic microbes.
Ummm...that's just completely incorrect
Sorry, that was referring to Harvard's comments!
California only allows well-done burgers? Is that true?
Man, nothin' is worse than over-cooked beef.
How about overcooked tofu? Or any tofu for that matter?
Tofu is OK if you can't tell it is there.
Overcooked squid is worse than overcooked beef. Seafood in general is pretty bad overcooked. I might even go so far as to say that overcooked chicken is worse than overcooked ground beef (though overcooking a quality steak or roast is an absolute travesty).
The other problem with rare burgers is that, unlike steak, a chunk of hamburger can come from a bunch of cows, greatly increasing the odds that one or more of them has nasty bacteria on it.
That doesn't justify banning people from eating rare burgers if they want it, though.
Are you sure? Whenever I order a burger from a sit-down, I always order it Medium. And I live in LA, no less.
But this wasn't a problem until about 15 years ago. Handling of ground beef is not as cautious as it use to be.
OK these dudes really seem to know what the deal is. Wow.
I've lived in NC for 15 years and the law predates my arrival. I thought this award was for something new?
NC burger laws aren't half as bad as the state's laws concerning municipalities annexing surrounding areas. A city government that you can't even vote for (until after the fact) can annex your property with zero input from you, in the process doubling your taxes (county becomes county + city).
You are correct that the law was passed circa 1993, though I suppose there's no statute of limitations for being a nanny. Maybe it was a slow month?
Exactly my thought.
If you click through to the article, the news is that North Carolina is considering legalizing the medium-rare and rare burger.
I did see that. It just seemed odd to me that a law that has been on the books for close to 2 decades (and now has some possibility of repeal) would just now get the nanny award.
You can have my cold, dead meat . . .
No, wait, let me work on that a little more.
No honey, cold and dead sounds right. :-(
Just fucking get it over with and just ban anything that tastes good.
Well, fuck... Looks like I need a new line of work. I mean, who wants to steal tasteless, burned hockey pucks?
Last night, I had a giant ribeye steak that was completely raw in the middle. Delicious. How sad to be afraid of such a sublime thing.
It isn't about unground beef.
Fuck off, anonopussy, you passive-aggressive little nothing fuck. I know what it was talking about, and you know damn well that the fucks who are against decent burgers are against raw steaks too, you sniggering little prick.
[you sniggering little prick.]
That's almost poetic man.
Here's the health code section that proves you wrong.
(3) ground beef and foods containing ground beef shall be cooked to an internal temperature of at
least 155° F (68° C),(5) beef steak shall be cooked to a temperature of 130° F (54° C) unless otherwise ordered by the
immediate consumer.You can order beef steak raw.
The point isn't whether you can or can't order beef steak raw, it's that most certainly, the nanny-state food-fascists would like to ban any and all 'undercooked' foods. He wasn't saying 'you can't'.
"and you know damn well that the fucks who are against decent burgers are against raw steaks too, you sniggering little prick."
The "Fucks" against "decent" burgers are the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Those fucks have no qualm with you ordering a raw steak at a restaurant.
Give them time, shitstain. Way to be even more annoying than anonopussy, by the way.
Accuracy with regards to facts is annoying when it makes you wrong.
No, Dan T.
"Accuracy with regards to facts is annoying when it makes you wrong."
Reading comprehension is hard!
Wrong on the internet? Get really pissed about it!
At first, they just came for the hamburgurs. But I didn't say anything, because hamburgurs were ground beef... I remember that mattering for some reason...
Na, just wanna ban the ones that actually kill you...
In Canada they once wanted to ban parmiggiano-reggiano cheese (not the fake Kraft 'Parmesan' crap. By the way, if you want REAL PR you look for the actual name. If the ingredients say, 'Parmesan' chances are it's fake and shitty) because it didn't meet their 'standards' of how to make fucking cheese. That and the fact they were probably supporting the massive dairy special interest lobby.
This was back in the mid-90s. Thankfully nothing came of it but they tried and will likely try again.
Last night was the first time I ever grilled filet mignon. I had never tried to grill it before and was nervous about overcooking using charcoal. I rotated the meat about ever two-three minutes about 8-ten times total. I thought I left it on longer than needed, but it turned out to be the most evenly-cooked medium-rare I've ever done. Fucking delicious.
Next time, try getting a full beef tenderloin and grill it whole. Amazing.
I did that last week, actually. You're right. Absolutely delicious, considering the price.
Don't you dare try to take away the ability of the precious NY jailbait to meet their maximum jailbaity potential by banning tanning beds...
I like my jailbait like i like my burgers, caramel on the outside with a nice pink center.
It's easier to just date girls whose natural skin melanin levels don't require tanning.
Plus ethnic girls tend to be hotter than white chicks.

Do you mean in terms of surface temperature? That actually makes since since darker surfaces absorb more heat. I wonder if albinos are hypothermic?
Hey genius, you mean "....makes cents sense darker....".
It's pretty funny how 17-19 year-old girls (and especially, from my experience, extremely attractive ones) defer to your judgment and charm consistently when you're in your mid-20s, like I am. Fun, fun, fun. Lolololol.
What I don't understand is why the warnings that appear on many menus about the dangers of raw or undercooked meat aren't good enough. If you have been informed of the potential dangers and you choose to proceed anyway, why is that someone else's problem? (yeah, I know)
So, wait a fucking second. In the back ground I see some sort of cooking guidelines that say something that looks like "pork... must be cooked to 66°C"
Then below it "ground beef... must be cooked to 68°C"So NC is bringing the full-retard with their weird pork BBQ fetish too?
Them's fightin' words. You can barbecue beef. With barbecue sauce. *On* a barbecue, even. But if you want to *eat* barbecue, it's gotta be pork.
You can keep your east-coast ketchup. I'll take my beef ribs smoked and rubbed, thanks.
Pretty much just proven you've never had NC q. Only sauce is spiced vinegar.
Except for the part where I did live there for six months, I've never ever been there or tried their BBQ.
And you're out of your mind if you think there's not ketchup-based Q used frequently out there. -

This is indeed old news.
But the part of the law you missed is that establishments that grind their own meat can still serve medium/rare burgers. This law only covers those that ship their burger meat in pre-ground.
I believe. I have had medium rare burgers in NC since '93. Perhaps they were just rogue grills.
As someone who works in Charlotte, I was under the same impression as the author of the article linked here, that burgers had to be cooked med-well or more IF it wasn't ground fresh in-house. In fact I was ordering medium-rare burgers at a place down the street every week until the article came out and suddenly it had to be med-rare, so even if the law was on the books it seems like it wasn't being enforced too strictly.
VA has been pussified for years. Walk in and it only can be done medium or worse.
Once they banned smoking in restaurants, I very seldom go out to eat. I'll only go out to a place to drink beer if they have an outdoor section that caters to my sinful lifestyle of smoking, eating shitty food, and talking insane politics.
nanny-state fuck off
Many chain restaurants have refused to cook burgers rare or medium rare for years. Due to their lawyers advice.
NJ banned eggs 'sunny side up' some years ago.
Oh, thanks so much for Eye-Opening Screed Against The Nanny State #758582. Between this one and the one complaining about licensing cab drivers, you guys are really giving the Koch brothers their money's worth. Bravo.
I'd just like to ask when for Reason plans to start complaining about that creepy nanny-state-advocating fuck Rand Paul.
You know who Rand Paul is, right? He advertises on banners here at Reason, is cool with segregated lunch counters, wears a hedgehog on his head?
He'd also like to jail attendees of political speech. c.f.: on Hannity:
"But if someone is attending speeches from someone who is promoting the violent overthrow of our government, that's really an offense that we should be going after — they should be deported or put in prison."
Ha ha. Look at the libertard shut-ins give a platform to a fucking authoritarian asshole. And this time, they can't even hide behind the "free market" when they do it!
Ha ha.
Rand Paul is a douche tool
So when 20 people died at Jack-n-the-Box a few years back from undercooked meat that was ok, because at least it tasted good. Come on guys a little common sense please this is like any other health code regulation. They're not saying you can't eat a burger, just kill the ecoli first please. Unfortunately the only way is to have the internal meat temp above a certain temp. Btw, you can still have a steak rare its only ground beef. This is like saying they shouldn't regulate medicine because I should be able to have a little arsenic in my tylenol.
Jack in the box employees were fuckin' up. It wasn't like someone said, "can I get a jack in the box burger completely undercooked 'cos that's the way I like it". Most of the CHILDREN that died had no idea how they like their burgers. Problem is, most real chefs know that rare/medium rare is the right way to cook meat. Is a bit different than fast food joints.
Sorry, I'm reading from the bottom up...Harvard was even more incorrect.
is good
ty rights, etc. seem like a more accurate measure of freedom than democracy.

He's a record-breaking QB, has an incredibly hot Brazilian girlfriend, is beloved the world over by men and women alike. What's in the water wherever he lives?
It's not tap, friends -- it's SmartWater, for which Brady just shot a series of new ads, including this one -- where he's seen in full superathlete glory. The spots will start running next month, so he's no doubt hoping his undefeated Pats win the Super Bowl.
I love all the jealous non-Patriot people. Patriots will win the super bowl ! Maybe next year folks
TOM BRADY YOU ARE HOT HOT. I AM A DEVOTED PATRIOT FAN AND FOR ALL SPORTS IN BOSTON. I WATCH OTHER TEAMS IN THE NFL ALSO. TOM YOU DO WHAT EVER YOU HAVE TO DO KEEP UP YOUR AWESOME QB. eVEN IF i WAS NOT A PATRIOT FAN I WOULD SAY HE IS THE BEST EVER. JOE MONTANA YOU WERE MY NUMBER ONE QB BUT NOW YOUR SECOND. I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT FANS FROM OTHER TEAMS ARE NOT TRUE FANS OF THE SPORT. IF THEY WERE, THEY WOULD BE EXICTED FOR A TEAM TO BREAK SO MANY RECORDS. I FOLLOW FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL THE MOST AND I ALWAYS ROOT FOR A PLAYER OF ANY TEAM THAT IS TRYING TO BREAK RECORDS WITHOUT STERIODS. ALL OF THGE TEAMS HAVE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER FILMED THE OTHER SIDE. IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO OTHER TEAMS, THE COACHES AND MANAGERS WOULD OF MADE SUCH A SCENE. IN MY OWN OPINION IS THEY DIDN'T WOULD BE BECAUSE THEY ALSO GUILTY AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER OF DOING THE SAME. I HAVE READ THAT THE JETS GOT CAUGHT IN THE PAST. I UNDERSTAND DURING THE PLAY OFFS PEOPLE WILL ROOT FOR THEIR TEAM BUT GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT DESERVES. THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS HAD AN UNBEATEN SEASON. I HOPE AND THINK WE CAN GO ALL THE WAY BUT IF WE DON;'T WE STILL HAD AN UNBEATEN SEASON.
I agree with #6, thought he seemed to be a great person as well as a good QB, I sure feel differantly about him now when I watch the patriots play.
#19? What's an asterick? Bwaaahaaahaahaa..........I just made you look like a fool....GLOAT.
brian - please take your half of a brain along with justin's half and form one brain that's capable of taking multiple pieces of evidence and weave them together. 6th round, noodle-armed QB + Barry Bonds' trainer in 2001 (which is the year tom brady became the starting QB...SHOCK!) = modern day gunslinger Tom Brady.
Please Pats homers - stop circle jerking each other on message boards like Patriots Planet and start reading about what the rest of the world already knows...Tom Brady is chemically enhanced and the patriots are video enhanced.
Tom Brady is the first one to say, "I just throw the ball," they (Randy Moss, or any of the other great Pats receivers) make the amazing plays - when complimented for a play after the game. I don't know why everyone's always saying he has a big ego or thinks he's the one responsible for all the wins - totally untrue.
I think the people out there hoping he gets hurt are totally evil. I'm a huge Pats fan, but I don't root for quarterbacks of rival teams (or other great players on other teams) to get injured. Totally pathetic.
WOW how jealous are you of Brady? Brady isn't using the juice, he is a competent QB with a great team and coaching staff. You on the other hand are just an angry jealous hater who wishes he could be 1/100 as good as Brady. Is this going to be the norm? Every athlete that is doing really well everyone should just assume that they are using? If that is the case then what is the difference between Brady, Montana, Marino, and all the other greats? Brady is a great quaterback, spygate has nothing to do with his ability or any other of the players! And he is not all the jacked anyway, yes he is in great shape, but he is no Barry Bonds! SO STOP YOUR BLABBING! BLAH BLAH BLAH!
quint...where are you getting the info he ever even met with bond's trainer? both said they talked on the phone, only. or can you inject roids thru the phone lines now? just because you don't like the guy or his team doesn't mean you should just make shiz up. I can't explain why so many teams made picks before the Pats took Brady. Noodle armed? He had a great last 2 years at Michigan after he took over as starting QB and after a rocky couple games taking over for Bledsoe (jitters?) has had a pretty phenomenal career. I'm not a Pats fan, never have been, never will be. Thats just another "fact" you choose to make up. I am a lifelong NYG fan. I just can respect talent, which this guy clearly has. If he makes a dramatic transformation along the lines of Bonds or Giambi, maybe roids but I just haven't seen any indication or evidence he has juiced or currently juices.
Ok, I am not a Patriots fan, even less of a Tom Brady fan....but I have to say is Whoa! He is ONE good looking man! Hell, I'd drink his bathwater if they bottled it!
PS Sorry Peyton ;)
I've never seen him anywhere with his child. Nor does Brady have ever anything to say about the kid. Regardless of when he broke up with the child's mother, he sould want to spend as much time as possible with his kid. I guess, at least, the kid won't go hungry and won't be lacking in material support. Anyway, Brady is certainly not father of the year. A great football player, an inspiring leader and a good-looking man on the other hand he is.
To those of you who defend Tom Brady: get a clue.
This "man" scores zero points with me. I agree with some of you who question his morals. How can he possibly be a father to this son he has brought into this world? There isn't enough time in the day for him to spread himself out to all those who need him. His time seems to be spent on the new woman. { not unlike of alot of men} He'll never get this time back with his son. It seems to me he has made his choice.
Despite the fact that he broke up with his preggars girlfriend, he isn't around to help raise this son of his. How could he be?
I feel sorry for his parents. How sad for them. What a huge diapointment he must be.
To those that defend him: think about how you would feel if he was your father?
Maybe that is the problem, so many adults in this country have grown up with absent fathers we think its no big deal.
Too bad really for all of us. Fathers are very important. So, thanks to all those real men out there who are handling their business. I'm grateful to you.

Black Heron
The black heron is probably best known for its unusual feeding technique. It stands in shallow water and then, using its wings, forms an umbrella over its body. It is believed that fish are attracted to the shade created by the umbrella. In Madagascar, the black heron is called "Lomba Comba" which means "he who fishes indoors." The interior of "Under The Canopy" shows a fish fighting back, Clint Eastwood style

SummaryWe report here homologous recombination (HR)-mediated gene targeting of two different genes in human iPS cells (hiPSCs) and human ES cells (hESCs). HR-mediated correction of a chromosomally integrated mutant GFP reporter gene reaches efficiencies of 0.14%–0.24% in both cell types transfected by donor DNA with plasmids expressing zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs). Engineered ZFNs that induce a sequence-specific double-strand break in the GFP gene enhanced HR-mediated correction by > 1400-fold without detectable alterations in stem cell karyotypes or pluripotency. Efficient HR-mediated insertional mutagenesis was also achieved at the endogenous PIG-A locus, with a > 200-fold enhancement by ZFNs targeted to that gene. Clonal PIG-A null hESCs and iPSCs with normal karyotypes were readily obtained. The phenotypic and biological defects were rescued by PIG-A transgene expression. Our study provides the first demonstration of HR-mediated gene targeting in hiPSCs and shows the power of ZFNs for inducing specific genetic modifications in hiPSCs, as well as hESCs.

Trends in Plant Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, 1 April 2006, Pages 159-161
Sandeep Kumar, George C. Allen and William F. Thompson
AbstractZinc-finger endonucleases (ZFNs) make targeted double-stranded breaks in genomic DNA and, thus, stimulate recombination and repair processes at specific sites. ZFNs can now be harnessed to stimulate homologous recombination and gene targeting in plants, which represents a major step towards modifying the plant genome more precisely. ZFN-mediated gene targeting is likely to become a powerful tool for genome research and genetic engineering.

SummaryCustom-made zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) can induce targeted genome modifications with high efficiency in cell types including Drosophila, C. elegans, plants, and humans. A bottleneck in the application of ZFN technology has been the generation of highly specific engineered zinc-finger arrays. Here we describe OPEN (Oligomerized Pool ENgineering), a rapid, publicly available strategy for constructing multifinger arrays, which we show is more effective than the previously published modular assembly method. We used OPEN to construct 37 highly active ZFN pairs which induced targeted alterations with high efficiencies (1%–50%) at 11 different target sites located within three endogenous human genes (VEGF-A, HoxB13, and CFTR), an endogenous plant gene (tobacco SuRA), and a chromosomally integrated EGFP reporter gene. In summary, OPEN provides an "open-source" method for rapidly engineering highly active zinc-finger arrays, thereby enabling broader practice, development, and application of ZFN technology for biological research and gene therapy.

Feature Review
Genome editing in plant cells by zinc finger nucleases
Dan Weinthal, Andriy Tovkach, Vardit Zeevi and Tzvi Tzfira
Gene targeting is a powerful tool for functional gene studies. However, only a handful of reports have been published describing the successful targeting of genome sequences in model and crop plants. Gene targeting can be stimulated by induction of double-strand breaks at specific genomic sites. The expression of zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) can induce genomic double-strand breaks. Indeed, ZFNs have been used to drive the replacement of native DNA sequences with foreign DNA molecules, to mediate the integration of the targeted transgene into native genome sequences, to stimulate the repair of defective transgenes, and as site-specific mutagens in model and crop plant species. This review introduces the principles underlying the use of ZFNs for genome editing, with an emphasis on their recent use for plant research and biotechnology.

Masterlure plugs were used by fishermen in the late 1940's and early 50's, and were made in Brooklyn, New York, USA, by W J Schoeninger Company and Masterlure Inc. During this timeframe the lures had large, glass eyes and were stamped on the belly in script. Sometime in 1953 the company moved to Staten Island, NY, and was probably sold.
In 1955 the company was sold again and was taken over by the Seneca Tackle Company in Rhode Island. Masterlure by Seneca was manufactured into the 1960's.

I love nature, science, poetry, prose, art, music – you name it! Now that I'm retired, time is mine to spend as I wish (pretty much), and I wish to take pictures of our natural world.
Bringing the outdoors in for others to see, especially those who may not get the opportunity to wander next to a pond, fish at the beach, or tramp in the woods, is a pleasure. I hope to build a window to the wonders of nature that fill our everyday lives.

Empowering our teens to make a difference
In the Winter 2009 edition of Reform Judaism Magazine, the Union for Reform Judaism shared the results of a survey on post-B'nai Mitzvah retention. The impetus for conducting the study was quite simple: The leaders of the Reform movement have observed for decades a precipitous drop in religious school enrollment immediately following Bar and Bat Mitzvah. Rabbi Jan Katzew, lead specialist of the Union for Reform Judaism's Congregational Consulting Group and former director of the Department of Lifelong Jewish Learning, and his team sought to discern the true extent of the attrition rate and which congregations had successful retention and why. Close to 900 Reform congregations participated in the survey. Of the nearly 17,000 annual B'nai and B'not Mitzvah a year, only about half continue through 10th grade and slightly more than one in 10 enroll through 12th grade. The rate slightly increases through 12th grade when you include students engaged in other Jewish activities outside of religious school, such as camping and youth group. About 50 religious schools — 7-10 percent total — retain 80 percent of post-B'nai Mitzvah students through 12th grade. I was proud to hear that my home synagogue, Congregation Emanu El in Houston, Texas, has the highest retention rate in the country, close to 92 percent. In analyzing the findings of the survey, the URJ identified 10 key factors these synagogues had in common that led to higher retention rates. For the sake of this piece, I want to highlight one particular factor, though I do encourage you to read the entire article in the magazine. The degree to which post-B'nai Mitzvah teens are empowered by the congregation to be involved in all facets of education, worship and synagogue governance increases the likelihood that students will stay connected beyond Bar/Bat Mitzvah. In other words, students want to play a role in religious school as teachers and specialists, be given the opportunity to be Bar/Bat Mitzvah tutors, engage in social justice, and feel that temple youth group is valued by the leadership. Becoming an adult in the Jewish community means that we need to offer our students the prospect to give back in healthy ways, and honing the values and skills they learned in training for Bar/Bat Mitzvah while acknowledging that a major transition has taken place in our community. Rabbi Daniel Weiner, Temple De Hirsch Sinai's senior rabbi, often highlights three entry points for post-B'nai Mitzvah students to stay involved in synagogue life: Ongoing enrollment in our religion school through 12th grade, youth group, and our hadracha (teaching assistant) program. Ideally, we hope that our students will be involved in all three. But in an age when teens are balancing hectic school and extra-curricular activity schedules, our goal is that they carve out time to do at least one. Reflecting on the factor I mentioned above, after consulting other congregations that have successful models while assessing our needs in the community, I sat down with Leah Rosenwald, our education and youth coordinator, to revamp our current madrichim program, giving it the new name Hadracha (guiding). Students have traditionally been assigned to classes to assist in the classroom while serving as mentors to the kids. Recognizing that not all of our students want to be in classrooms, Leah and I expanded the opportunities to incorporate different tracks in which students work as a team to enhance aspects of our education program. This upcoming year's tracks will consist of songleading, art, and classroom, including all-school educational programs, and Kesher (grades 6-7)/junior youth groups. Response has been very positive, as already more than 30 madrichim have applied to work in the coming Hadracha year. Our goal, over time, is that this program will grow and provide a viable opportunity for post-B'nai Mitzvah students to be involved, especially for those unable to attend our high school. And the Hadracha program incorporates many of the values I mentioned before — empowerment and ownership in temple. Our ultimate goal is to curb B'nai Mitzvah attrition. The Torah teaches us that we pass on our tradition through our children, insuring that Judaism will continue throughout the ages. Keeping our teens involved beyond Bar/Bat Mitzvah is critical to making this a reality. As we approach this High Holy Day season, may we experience renewed sense of creativity in pursuing this difficult task for the future of the Jewish community.

Alex Rodriguez has described ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz as a wonderful person and an ''amazing light''.
The baseball player's18-month romance with the actress ended last September but the New York Yankees star has no bad feelings towards the screen beauty and cherishes the time he spent with her.
In an interview on 'The Insider', Alex said: ''I don't like talking about my relationships, but what I will tell you about CD is that she's probably one of the greatest human beings I've ever met, and just an amazing light.''
The 36-year-old sportsman also hinted he doesn't plan to marry again and his new hero is eternal bachelor George Clooney.
Alex was married to psychology graduate Cynthia Scurtis - with whom he has two daughters Natasha, seven, and Ella, four - but they divorced in 2008 and now he thinks he wants to live his life like serial dater George.
When quizzed on whether he'd walk down the aisle again, he said: ''I'm not sure. I think my new hero is George Clooney. He's my new role model. I think he's done it right.''
Alex is currently dating Torrie Wilson who wrestled in the WWE with George's latest squeeze Stacy Keibler.
