AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- All it took was two at-bats on his first opening day in the majors for Bryce Harper to hit two homers -- and hear some "M-V-P!" chants.
The Washington Nationals' other recent No. 1 overall draft pick, Stephen Strasburg, did his part, too, getting 19 consecutive outs at one stretch of his seven scoreless innings.
Yes, for the NL East champion Nationals -- and their fans who lived through some tough times not that long ago -- the present and future could hardly have looked brighter in a 2-0 victory over the Miami Marlins on Monday, Game 1 of a season lame-duck manager Davey Johnson declared months ago should be defined as "World Series or bust."
"You couldn't draw it up any better," Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche said. "And to have the two youngsters go out, do what they did? ... Let Harper and Stras go to work. They didn't need us."
Harper, the 20-year-old left fielder coming off NL Rookie of the Year honors, hit solo shots over the out-of-town scoreboard in right-center field off Ricky Nolasco in the first and fourth innings. He sprinted around the bases both times, and after his second trip, he climbed back out of the dugout for a curtain call, pumping his right fist.
"You just shake your head in amazement. You don't see that too often from anybody, period. But to see him as a 20-year-old? He's just writing a book right now," new Nationals center fielder Denard Span said. "And he does it so calm, too."
It was Harper's first taste of a season's start in the big leagues; he began last year in the minors before getting called up later in April.
"Pretty special moment," Harper said. "If I was 0 for 4, or 4 for 4, it wouldn't have mattered to me. Just going out there having some fun on opening day for the first time."
He's nothing if not exuberant, and Johnson joked afterward that Harper's dugout high-fives after homer No. 1 really hurt some palms.
"I'm glad he cut it down on the second one," Johnson said, smiling. "I was still stinging from the first one. I think a lot of people were."
For the 24-year-old Strasburg (1-0), this marked the start of what should be his first full season in the majors, with zero pitch or inning limits. Shut down before the stretch run in September in 2012, he was dominant against a trade-depleted Marlins lineup that features Giancarlo Stanton and little else.
The right-hander went seven innings, matching his career high, allowing three hits.
Asked if he could have pitched longer, Strasburg said: "If it wasn't opening day and the first start of the year, it would have been a different story."
Pitching to contact more than in the past, Strasburg had three strikeouts, zero walks -- and needed only 80 pitches.
"I looked up in the sixth inning and he had, like, 65 pitches. I was like, 'Wow.' He has come a long way. Early on in his career, you look up in the sixth inning, and he's close to 100 pitches," teammate Ian Desmond said. "If he wants to be the workhorse that he is, he's going to have to pitch more games like this."
Harper and Strasburg are only the second pair of top picks in baseball's June amateur draft to start an opening-day game for the team that chose them, and the 100-loss seasons in 2008 and 2009 that gave Washington the right to those selections seem quite distant nowadays.
"It's amazing how far this club's gone since I was playing against 'em years ago and we'd come into Washington and it was awful," LaRoche said. "It was a bad ballpark. It was a bad club."
Before the game, the Nationals celebrated their 98-win 2012 by unveiling a sign atop the outfield scoreboard that proclaims them "NL East Division Champions." A regular-season Nationals Park-record crowd of 45,274 was rowdy all afternoon.
"They really were loud and crazy," Harper said. "Hopefully they're going to be like that all year."
They gave Harper a standing ovation in the sixth inning before his third at-bat against Nolasco (0-1). Ever unpredictable, Harper squared up to bunt, taking a ball, and wound up with a flyout to left.
He hit a curveball for his first homer, a slider for his second.
"Didn't make the best pitches to him, and he didn't miss 'em. That's what hitters do," said Nolasco, who gave up three hits in six innings.

US television stars took to the red carpet last night for the annual Emmy Awards. Full length gowns (strapless or one-shouldered) seemed to be the reoccurring theme of the evening on everyone from America Ferrara to Christina Applegate, but we loved Eva Longoria Parker's Marchesa number and Lauren Conrad unveiled her own design. As for the actual awards? TV satire 30 Rock (starring Alec Baldwin and Grazia favourite Tina Fey), Mad Men and new political drama John Adams were amongst the big winners. British actress Same Eileen Atkins won best supporting actress for her role in BBC drama Cranford and Tom Wilkinson picked up a trophy for best supporting actor in a mini-series for John Adams.
Check out who wore what - and what we thought of their look - on the Emmy Red Carpet below. Then tell us who you think looked best below?

I started taking this produt over a year ago for general health reasons. At the time my allergies were so bad I had to go the emergency room at a local hospital. After taking this produce for months my allergies started clearing up. Now I am symptom free 100%. I recently traveled to Europe and did not take this product with me. Symtoms returned almost immediatly confirming this product is the cure for me. My allergy tests showed me allergic to yard grass, some trees, and other pollens etc. I do not know how it works or if it will work for others with similar allergies. I just know it works for me and I recommend this product for general health even if you do not have allergies.
Great Energy and weight loss

this stuff is great. I have energy all day. i'm a quadriplegic and I have lost 35lbs using this and going on a gluten free diet. it is better with chocolate soy milk, but use that or regular soy to get your protein. it allows the fat to burn not the muscle!
Definitely worth buying!

Green blend is the easiest way and the fastest way to take a large quantity of green vegetables daily. Green blend is an great addition to our health as it gives a general overall boost to all aspects of our products such boosting immune system, regulates blood pres sure, cholesterol, balancing pH value and many others! I have tried most of the different blends by Amazing Gras s. What I like about their products is that most of it tastes very good and are very easy for beginners to start with. The price is reasonable for the bulk prices. This product contains mostly organic ingredients. The product does not use soy lecithin (cheap fillers) though they are guilty of using other cheap fillers like flax seed, apple pectin. Luckily, these are about 10% by weight only. Not that these fillers are bad, they are just les s value for money. It is best to take in morning for best absorption or when hungry (avoid unneces sary carbohydrates while loading on nutrients).For the taste, it tastes just lightly favoured chocolate. You can use les s water if you like more concentrated chocolate favour. It also tastes good when eat straight! This product is very versatile and can be easily mix with many other powder. You can mix with lecithin (for its creamy taste), maca or other protein powder (for the sweet taste) or even Sunwarrior Ormus Supergreens (for its peppermint favour). Buy the bigger bulk to save more! I think the only downside is that the container neck is a bit small and it gets hard to scoop when the powder run low. Since only 40% by weight are green food, you might want to take more scoops or have an additional green blend in order to achieve the daily servings of vegetables needed. Check out my page for more reviews!
Amazing Grass is actually amazing

I am a 24 year old woman struggling with low energy, purchased this after alot of research and I am really, really happy. My energy levels have been boosted, my skin is alot clearer and I sleep better. I have also noticed food cravings have reduced and its easier for me to stay off the junk food. And this is just after 4 days of use. I have it with milk in the morning along with a piece of fruit. Strongly recommended to anybody. I like it so much I'm making my partner get his own tub too. Update: I get frequent nausea now. (Been a good 6 months or so since I started.) I cut my dosage down to 4g about a month ago and don't take it most days now. I'm probably going to discontinue it. I still get an energy boost when I take it but I think I'm too sensitive to something in it.

I got this for my dad who's been complaining that he feels tired a lot of the time despite eating well and exercising regularly. He doesn't mind the taste. And it gives him a slight energy boost, so he doesn't feel tired till the evening. But he wants to continue buying it because he says he's been sleeping really well at night since he started drinking this. I've tried it, and it's definitely very grassy, covered up with cocoa, and a bit gritty, but it's not as bad regular green superfood drinks which I can't usually drink without gagging a little - the chocolate helps and it tastes okay overall. Whenever I've had it in the morning, I've stayed full after breakfast for longer, skipped my morning coffee and haven't hit my afternoon slump in energy, so there must be something to this!

On President's Day it's common to honor this nation's leaders by staying home from school or maybe partaking in some Lincoln-inspired one-day sales.
I'm sure being president is a hard job, so he needs to unwind in the evening too. Lucky for him, the job comes with a home theater, and has for many decades. Several sources note that while the first movie was shown in the White House in 1915, the theater wasn't actually built until 1942. President Dwight Eisenhower is said to have watched over 200 movies in the room. President Ronald Reagan's favorite movie for the room was The Sound of Music. According to Tevi Troy, former Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, President Bill Clinton was a fan of Fight Club and American Beauty.
Here's a pictorial tour of the official White House Family Theater. You'll notice that the décor has changed significantly over the years as technology improved and presidential tastes changed. We're sure the theater has been guests to dignitaries of all kinds. Even Hollywood celebrities such as Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have enjoyed the room. The theater is used for much more than just watching Walking Dead on Sunday evenings. Some official functions take place there; guests are entertained and major speeches are rehearsed. Maybe the family also get together to play Call of Duty.
Unfortunately we don't know what equipment is actually installed in the theater—that's confidential information. What's on the president's DVR? Does the White House have a Kaleidescape? Are they an Xbox360 or PS3 family? Extra butter on their popcorn? We do know that the While House Family Theater includes a 3D projector and that it includes seats for 42 people. Everything else is a state secret.
Check out the slideshow for pictures inside the Barack Obama's screen room.

An incident on a radio call-in show has Husker fans once again paying more attention to the coach than to the team. Just days away from another big game, fans are talking about what happened Wednesday night.
In Nebraska, football is close to religion on the priority scale and every fan has an opinion on how the game should be played and how the coach should coach. No matter what, Husker fans seem to always have something to complain about. For years, some fans criticized legendary coach Tom Osborne for not being emotional enough on the sidelines.
Now here's Bo Pelini, running in high gear and some fans don't like it. On KFAB's Sports Nightly show, Bo got into a discussion with a fan from Beatrice. "I was just curious. Your sideline demeanor is not the face of Nebraska. Do you think that has anything to do with the amount of penalty calls we get?"
"What did you say about my sideline demeanor?" asked the coach.
"It's not the face of Nebraska," said the caller. "That's not how people in Nebraska act."
Most of the fans we talked to say they are fine with Bo's act. "He's always been a fiery person, he gets into it, that's what you want to see, that's Nebraska football, I would like to think," said Chris Fowler.
"Sometimes looks like he gets a little angry, but I think it's pumping his guys up," said Jackie Wozniak.
"I think what he did early on, now there's a microscope on him, there's a camera on him at all times, I think it looks worse than it actually is," said Cory Davis.
Pelini told the caller that his sideline demeanor is no worse than any other head coach in the country. "People like you want to magnify it, talk about it, been talking about it since I've been here. Don't think I have a problem with sideline demeanor this year. I'm a passionate guy, I'm an emotion guy, I like to compete. I'm not changing. How 'bout that, my man."

Women, Politics and Popular Culture
Popular culture has been a fruitful vehicle through which to comment on the state of women throughout the world. Examples like Marjane Satrapi's novel, Persepolis, the work of Finnish artist and choreographer Maija Hirvanen, or Malaysia's everywoman's music videos (to name a few) provide creative commentary on the impact of politics and culture in women's lives.
How effective do you think such artistic or pop culture engagements with politics are at presenting women's political messages and concerns? Or, is an intervention by public intellectuals such as Susan Griffin more adept at conveying the importance of these political struggles?

As Bruce Lee said, we need to "learn it until you forget it," so that under the conditions we need it the most, you will perform it to your advantage without even thinking about it

"Square range" shooting is an essential part of a firearms training program — there are some skills that can only be trained on the range — but there are some skills that are better trained somewhere else
Too many administrators, chiefs, mayors, city council members, community activists, and members of the media are unaware of Graham v. Connor, let alone the four-pronged test of 'reasonableness'

your favorite burgers and beef ribs in washington, DC area ...including Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Tysons Corner, etc
- ellen4441 Apr 15, 2010 06:22 PM
I'm going for a weekend burger & beef rib run down to D.C. !
Planning to go to RAYS HELL BURGER (of course!), and BIG BUNS in Arlington,
plus the Matchbox for mini's..
What else is going on with burgers (Charbroiled is my fav. ), and BEEF ribs?!
Tnx in advance!!!
You've already got Rays Hell Burger on your list, which is the best IMO.
I would also put BGR on your list - it's better than Big Buns IMO. There are locations in Alexandria and Bethesda. A new location is opening soon in Arlington (Lyon Village).
For a high end burger, go to Central in downtown DC.
Beef ribs? I haven't found any in the area worth mentioning.
re: jaydreb
JAYDREB: I noticed there was also a BGR inside the Mirage Casino, Las Vegas, when I was there a few months ago...(where the Siegfield and Roy tiger exhibit used to be!)
(the BGR was packed!)
I will definitely put BGR on my "to do" list; just a matter of what city I'll end up trying it at...
When you mentioned BGR, I also thought of ELEVATION burger, which I know is big in the DC area... .......I had the pleasure of trying Elevation in the Philly area, and enjoyed it very much ...(did'nt care for their olive oil fries, though)
re: ellen4441
The place you saw in the Mirage would have been something different. BGR Burger Joint is only local and has various locations in the area. Here's their website: http://www.bgrtheburgerjoint.com/
The Burger Joint
106 N Washington St, Alexandria, VA 22314
re: cheesepowder
Appreciate the corrected info, CHEESEPOWDER !!
I just did some googling, as realize that I got BGR mixed up with the "BLT burger" in the Mirage Casino ..(& in NYC & Hong Kong)
So, NOW, I've got TWO more burger joints to try, BGR, and BLT, as they both sound good...
tnx, again...
re: ellen4441
The first BGR was in Vegas- the owner lives here and opened a few more BGRs in the DC area over the past couple years.
I'll second Matchbox on 8th Street. The burgers and fries at Rustico are pretty decent, and they have a huge selection of domestic and imported beers to wash it down.
DC has never been a barbecue beef rib town. Your best bet is probably someplace in Koreatown for bulgalbi, but nothing comes to mind as outstanding.
827 Slaters Lane, Alexandria, VA 22314
Hi Ellen. Are you looking for grilled ribs? If you like traditional slow cooked beef short ribs, my favorite place is Florida Avenue Grill. Fork tender short ribs with an onion brown gravy. Yum. The place is divey diner style with comfort/soul food.
Florida Avenue Grill
1100 Florida Ave NW, Washington, DC 20009
I had some good braised short ribs last week at Chef Geoff's in Tyson's corner. It is a weird place, corporate and definitely for the expense account crowd, but I liked my short ribs. Then again braised short ribs are cheap and easy to make at home and are always better than paying for them.
Chef Geoff's
3201 New Mexico Avenue, Washington, DC 20016
re: sekelmaan
Chef Geoff's expense account crowd? It is a mediocre, medium priced place (at least downtown). Nothing to write home about, but hardly among the most expensive places around...
Chef Geoff's
3201 New Mexico Avenue, Washington, DC 20016
re: ClevelandDave
I almost made it to the Tysons Corner area location for a burger...
Wonder what I would think of that Chef Geoff's burger: MEDIOCRE , or a WINNER???
(well, maybe next DC visit!)
Chef Geoff's
3201 New Mexico Avenue, Washington, DC 20016
re: ellen4441
IMHO, you've got better ways to spend your time than at Chef Geoffs both generally for their food and specifically for the hamburger, Ellen.
Chef Geoff's
3201 New Mexico Avenue, Washington, DC 20016
re: ClevelandDave
Re: Chef Geoff's : appreciate your honest opinion, Cleveland Dave. !!
Do you find the burger preparation too plain? Flat top grill?
(Nice charbroiled or seared/griddled is my favorite, by far..)
How is the burger quality?
Chef Geoff's
3201 New Mexico Avenue, Washington, DC 20016
re: ellen4441
Juicy but flavorless, bun is nothing special, I think the fries are frozen. Char I don't know from- like mine medium rare. I mean it isn't a bad burger, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way for it.
DCDeb and Sekelmann: I tend to like the charbroiled style, more so than the braised style ribs...
(but those slow cooked fork tender braised ones can hit the spot!)
MONKEYROTICA and JAYDREB: Had a feeling DC was not really a beef rib town..
not that much was coming up on my google searching!
(seems like theres more beef ribs in Baltimore to try, like the Big Bad Wolf BBQ....
next visit !)
I DO love those Galbi Beef Ribs....when I lived in L.A., I used to go to some good Korean restaurants.... delish sizzling ribs on the $7.95 lunch special in Gardena ....
I've actually put SLADE'S American Grill on my "return list", cuz I remember having a delish mesquite broiled burger there in the Tysons Corner Mall, (5 years or so ago) and I wanna see if lightning can strike twice...
Tnx, everyone for the useful replies thus far !!!
re: ellen4441
We do have great Korean in the area if you want us to point out a bbq joint or two.
re: ellen4441
Slades is long gone. You might want to check out former top chef competitor Spike Mendelsohn's Good Stuff eatery on Capitol Hill for burgers.
re: nickdanger
Slade's @ tysons mall is now Nortons. Same menu, same staff, same manager, new owners, very reasonable prices. Their burgers are still very good. I stop by for lunch whenever I'm in the mall.
re: wristband
Hi wristband!
I found out Slade's had closed when I was googling on the internet during my
megabus ride down to DC ! (looks like it's only been a year or 2 since they closed?!)
But, glad to see such a similar looking joint, Norton's, in it's place at
Tysons Corner Mall...
and thanks for confirming that the burgers are still real good there, WRISTBAND!
(I already had stopped at 3 burger joints by 6 pm Sunday, (I was stuffed!), so I
will put NORTON'S on my to-do list...
Agree Ray's is the area's best burger in the 'big, a bit messy, lay it all hang out but pay close attention to quality' category I just invented for the purpose of this post. But, as pedestrian excellent burgers go, have to add Saint Ex on 14th to the list as at least as good (if not better) than spots like Matchbox or Big Buns. For the best gourmet ("high end" as another poster terms it) burger, Palena in Cleveland Park is the clear winner. Love Central for many things but, for burgers at the high end, Palena gets the nod. They bake their own buns and pickle their own pickles. Inspired stuff along with the region's best gnocchi, caesar salad and roast chicken. No joke.

re: nwdchound
Well, I'm back from my overnight stay in Washington , DC area!! April 18th-19th...
I took the train from AC to Philly, then the Megabus from Philly to DC ..(1st time MEGABUS rider...loved it)
I hit MATCHBOX, RAY'S HELL BURGER, BIG BUNS on my 1st day!!
And GLORY DAYS GRILL, Fairfax, on my abbreviated 2nd day !!
(4 burgers in 30 hours !!!)
My FAV burger ended up being GLORY DAYS GRILL, surprisingly...
nice juicy, firm charbroiled burger, the taste & texture really agreed with me!
(loved their fun "buffalo chicken dip" , as well...
My least fav. burger was also a surprise to ME, and probably to YOU Chowhounders, too!
I did not think RAY'S Hell Burger was worth all the hoopla...
The meat quality seemed real good, but I found the 10 ounces proved too big to cook throughout properly (my "medium" was rare/raw in parts)....
Burger a mushy texture; I prefer firmer ...
And the roll was not really my type...
Guess I'm in the minority (10% or so??) of foodies who wanted to fall in love with Ray's , but just did'nt ....
Please check out my pics attached!
re: ellen4441
Big Buns better than Rays?! Blasphemy!! (-;
I agree that Rays cooks their burgers somewhat rarer than most, but I like it that way. You're also not the only person who's not a fan of the bun.
Hope you enjoyed your trip.
re: jaydreb
Hi JAYDREB,
I respect you liking your burgers on the rarer side...
I used to go for medium rare, but lately I've been leaning more with the medium..
(med rare/medium, cuz I do like a little pink...but I do like it HOT...)
I'd do Ray's again, and say "medium well" this time...
I should've known better, as I'd read on Yelp that others found the burgers cooked
rarer than they ordered...
I had a great time in DC, Jaydreb, and would do it again in a heartbeat!
Gonna take my bf down there Aug. 1st to see the Phillies play the Nationals...
(but, I might sneak another visit or 2 in before that!)
re: ellen4441
Ellen, I second your thumbs down review of Ray's. I think that R is way way overhyped. Many love Ray's burgers - not me.
Hope you can report on Norton's on your next visit to see if matches your fond memories of Slade's. I eat a lot of burgers at different spots around town and think Norton's continues to be one of the very best burgers in the DC area.
re: wristband
Woo hoo !! So glad to hear that I'm not totally out of my mind regarding Ray's! Hey, WRISTBAND, we are very like minded on that one...I luv it!!
Here's some pics from my fav. burger out of the 4 DC area joints I visited!
It was from the GLORY DAYS GRILL in Fairfax, VA...
Monday, 4-19-10
Ironically, the burger I did'nt expect as much from , was the one I liked the BEST! I mostly was turned onto Glory Days, cuz I noticed that they have BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP on their menu, which they don't seem to have here in Jersey !!
I will definitely experience Norton's burger next time, and I'll make sure to report back on here..
re: ellen4441
Great photo of that burger.
re: ChinoWayne
tnx much, CHINO WAYNE !! I believe we've chatted a bit on the L.A. boards..,,,,always like reading your posts !!!
(I'm a Jersey gal, but had a few stints of living in L.A.)...(and love the beef ribs at Joey's BBQ in your neck of the woods in Upland, CA)
re: ellen4441
The prime burger at Glory Days is pretty decent. Goes great with a tall ice-cold Stella.
re: flavrmeistr
I noticed that Glory Days had 2 choices of burgers; the prime was $1.50
more.... I will put the prime version on my "to do" list ...
...I thought that was a bit unusual, to give one 2 burger types...
cuz why not just offer your best one?
re: ellen4441
"I thought that was a bit unusual, to give one 2 burger types...
cuz why not just offer your best one?
Glory Days isn't really a gourmet or "destination" restaurant, it's a family restaurant or sports bar, depending on your perspective. Only Chowhounds (might) go there for a very special burger. The primary clientele may simply not spend more than a certain amount for a burger no matter how good the person making up the menu thinks it is, so if they're with a group and feel like having a burger, they have an option.
It's not like the menu implies "you may not like this one, better get the one that costs more." At least I hope not. ;)
re: MikeR
All I know is that it is a consistently decent burger. The quality and flavor is better than those at comparable establishments (Ruby Tuesdays, Hard Times, etc.). Nothing else on their menu is of particular interest to me except the giant mug of ice cold Stella Artois draft. Sort of like Belgian Budweiser, but goes great with a burger.
re: flavrmeistr
& I really enjoyed their crispy fries at Glory Days...they went down real well with the burger , as well...
I had the fresh lemonade with mine, but your ice cold Stella sounds good!!
re: ellen4441
We ate at BGR in Arlington for the first time last night. It was quite good. We shared the Greek burger and the Wellington, and both were finger-licking good. I may actually like this place better than Hellburgers, if only because of the roll.
re: cabster
I was heading in that direction, so I thought I'd give BGR a try for lunch this afternoon. For the search-challenged, it's in the Lyon Village shopping center, a couple of doors from the more famous Italian Store. They don't even have a sign up yet.
I had the lunch special - burger, fries, and drink for $8.99 and absolutely waddled out. I asked what "medium" meant there, and when the counterman said "pink" I ordered medium rare, which was done just the way I like it. Visible red but no blood oozing out. I tasted a fry at the counter and it was just barely lukewarm, so I asked for a replacement order when they cooked a fresh batch, and sat down to enjoy the burger. It was quite good, but I think that Ray's tasted more, well, meaty, though I liked the BGR bun better.
Oy! This is another place that will go on my "don't order the fries here without a backup team" list. They were quite good, though over-salted IMHO, but I'll bet I could have assembled nearly two good sized baking potatoes if I stacked up all the pieces. It was just way too much, I ate barely half the batch. I have the same complaint about Five Guys. Ray's at least gives a sensible sized load.
I'm now going out for a long walk.
re: MikeR
hmm. I happened upon BGR at Lyon Village after their first week of being opened. Found burger at BGR under-seasoned (or not at all) but liked the fries.
BGR has 10 oz of aged prime, so no bleed factor when cooked. Note: the special is only available during lunch. They seem to have more options for their double-dipped fries then for their burger. Standard fries here are Yukon gold, with option for sweet potato fries. There are three other seasoning options avail for your fries. Friend enjoyed the turkey burger, but not so much with the veggie burger. Lobster sliders looked interesting. Could probably put away 4 of the burgers if tempted.
Ray's burger is 10oz of fresh prime and a lot of meat juice (depending on temp). Strangely enough, often my 2nd burger is over-done (even if ordered separately 5 minutes later). LOTS of options for your burger here, but keep it simple. Cant recommend the fries. I always order 2 with dutch mustard seed guoda and only one other topping. The meat juice hits the brain and stops me from consuming more. Not complaining b/c am happy :9 Signature Ray's Hell Burger is definately worth a bite. Packs a 1, 2 punch without the 3 on exit.
FYI, Ray's Hell Burger has a take-out/carry-out in their old location, just a few doors down.

1713 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22209
re: hungryT
This week I tried Red Hot and Blue's Monday night "Any burger $5" special (burger, fries, drink) and it was quite good. I asked what the choices of burger were (this was at the RH&B Express on Hillwood Ave in Falls Church) and the guy behind the counter pointed ot the sign advertising the special, which had a picture of a thoroughly stacked burger. I think that there are other choices on the menu at the more formal restaurants.
This one was at least an 8-ouncer, cooked with a good crust on the outside and just starting to turn pink on the inside, not dripping blood but still juicy. There was a slab of cheese and a small handful of fried onion rings with a dab of a sort of remoulade sauce topping the onions, lettuce and tomato on the side. Fries were OK, not as crispy on the outside as I like, but there were plenty of 'em. It really filled me up.
If I go for this again, I'd probably ask for the onion rings on the side (I took most of them off and ate them with a fork) and maybe potato salad instead of the fries. But all in all a good burger and a good buy for five bucks. I wish they had it at lunch, but it's only after 5 PM.
re: ellen4441
I was just at a party where RHB catered and they had beef ribs. Surprisingly decent (though not outstanding).
re: hungryT
Had a plain burger today at BGR at Lyon Village and it was WAY over-salted! They must have read your review, hungryT! It had lots of pepper as well, which was fine. The bun is very good. The fries were hot and fresh, but not my favorite.
re: Transplanted Texan
made a 2nd trip with a different friend. I had the Wellington and buddy had the plain. Wellington was tasty, borrowing flavors from its many toppings. However, my friend's plain burger was unremarkable. Also, can't help but think the patties are significantly smaller than 10oz.. maybe they're only 1/3 lb patties? if not for the fries, I would have left hungry.
re: flavrmeistr
Have you compared the Glory Days standard with the prime burger? And if so, is the prime worth a buck and a half more?
re: ellen4441
Is it just me or does that patty look like a charred brick?
re: biscuit
try THIS other pic of the Glory Days burger .... perhaps the juicy flavor shows thru more ?!?
And , I threw in a bonus pic of the "Buffalo Chicken Dip" !
re: ellen4441
Here's my BIG BUNS burger....(pics attached)...Arlington, VA
Great charbroiled flavor, bun could've been a drop softer...
These are my fav type of places, ones where you order at the counter, and they give you a # to take back to the table...
Tnx, Fellow Chowhounders!! Keep those burger & beef rib ideas pouring in !!
re: ellen4441
BGR the Burger Joint is my favorite in DC. The Wellington is ridiculously good and I will be getting the Cuban the next time I go. Great milkshakes here as well.
BLT Steak has braised short ribs that are served in a lidded, cast iron pot. They are intensely beefy and fork tender. It is expensive but if you are jonesing these are worth the splurge.
re: CDouglas
Re: BLT braised short ribs...
I love cast iron cooking!! Cuz usually that means crusty!
And I will try and get to BGR the next time I'm in DC, for a burger & milkshake!!
re: ellen4441
I had a really good ground brisket burger at Ted's Bulletin. Really moist and cooked to order on a sesame roll. Nice char on the outside as well. These weren't fried on a griddle. They're the same people who run Matchbox, so I'd expect their burgers to be tasty.
They also have a braised beef rib sandwich that I'm going to have to try. It's served on grilled cheese bread with vermont white cheddar, arugula and red wine gravy. And they have an EXTENSIVE menu of milkshakes for both kids and adults (Bailey's, Moca Kaluha, White Russian, etc.) made with the old timey milkshake mixers.
Ted's Bulletin
505 8th St SE, Washington, DC 20003
re: ellen4441
does that receipt show $14 for the "best buns" burger, all told? do they charge for each addition, like pickles, lettuce, etc?
Rays Hell Burger, Central and Palena would be my 3 recommendations. I have yet to try the burger at the Tune Inn but I have heard it is delicious. Central has my favorite burger in the city, it is truly divine. Enjoy.

re: Jeremy303
tnx, Jeremy!
I see I have some more joints to try on my next DC "burger run" !!
A lot of people may disagree with me, but I really like Good Stuff. I've always found their burgers good, but I have to admit, I think the milkshakes are what keep bringing me back.
And I have to agree with your decision to go to Matchbox. Their sliders are the best I've had anywhere.
re: lilkimbo
The slider thing has been disappointing to me, no matter where I go. I like the idea of them, but what it usually means is three or four dinner rolls each containing a small wad of dry, overcooked meat. Is there any place that has miniature juicy little burgers?
re: flavrmeistr
It's been a bit since I've been there, but Ramparts in Fairlington used to make some good ones.
re: flavrmeistr
Matchbox or Ugly Mug on Capitol Hill - same recipe - they work out well for me every time.
re: flavrmeistr
Hey, Flavormeister!
You can see the JUICES from these MATCHBOX sliders soaking the roll!
I can relate to your "overcooked, dry meat" sliders.... (that is a pet peeve of mine)
However, I believe the Matchbox version will "MEAT" your standards...
& there was pink inside..
re: ellen4441
So there's hope! Thanks.
re: lilkimbo
For the first time I had a hamburger at Good Stuff; I usually get the mushroom burger. I have to say the Sunnyside burger (with fried egg and bacon) is damn tasty. Nothing wrong with that.
re: lilkimbo
HI lilkimbo, flavrmeistr, & all !
Here's some pics of my Matchbox sliders! (eaten on April 18th, 2010
re: lilkimbo
Good Stuff will go on my list , too, now!
I see they have "thin, griddled" burgers...
charbroiled is my personal fav., but I can appreciate a good griddled and/or seared burger , as well!
whitlow's on wilson has a good burger and monday it is on special (half-price).
cowboy cafe has a decent burger, too -- the deal there is on tuesday -- half-price.
I just had the beef ribs at Coastal Flats in Tyson's Corner (inside the mall) this past weekend, and was very satisfied with them! The bbq sauce they use is mustardy, but it wasn't too sharp (I'm not a huge fan of straight-up mustard) and wasn't too sweet/sugary. Just perfect for the tender ribs (which fell right off the bone). If you love beef ribs, this is definitely one to try. Even their cole slaw was good, and I usually hate cole slaw with a passion.

re: yfunk3
COINCIDENTLY, I was also at COASTAL FLATS that weekend eating BEEF RIBS!
(Sun. May 16th, 630 pm, bubbly gal, back table on left, lol ..)
I ordered the mustard bbq sauce on the side, just to play it safe, and to get the full beef flavor...
AGREED : fall off the bone!
AGREED: sauce was not too sweet/sugary
great service from Anatasia ...
p.s. This is the 3rd time I've tried posting these pics!!
re: ellen4441
hello o bubbly one, would you please tell us what the black stuff is on those ribs?
re: alkapal
You must mean the crust ...
Love my crusty ribs!!
re: ellen4441
oh yeah, those were way crusty. in the realm of looking rather charred. maybe it was just the lighting. ;-).
re: ellen4441
Ah, now my mouth is watering again. :o)
Incidentally, mine weren't nearly that charred and weren't all separated like that. Came in three big pieces for me. So I guess it depends on the day! I'm betting with the usually-good Coastal Flats service, you can ask that your ribs not be too charred?
Coastal Flats
7860 Tysons Corner Ctr, Mc Lean, VA 22102
re: yfunk3
actually, I found my beef ribs just right... extra crusty, but not burnt ...
I bet I would've liked yours , as well, yfunk3 !
Sounds like ours were both perfectly suited for each of us , though!!!!!
I'm guilty of being a Ray's devotee, but I'm surprised that Carlyle never comes up on any burger lists. It's a serious contender. It's really a well-crafted, excellent surprise.
re: Cher55ox
I agree with you on both counts, Cher55ox.....
I conquered Matchbox on one of my recent DC visits..(even posted some "slider" pics in previous posts on here!)
I went to that Elevation Burger in Falls Church , the one in that nice Harris Teeter shopping center.... I tried their choc. shake...(very sinful and good!)
was too stuffed for a burger, but I loved the Elevation Burger I experienced in the Philly suburbs earlier in the year....extremely fresh...although those olive oil fries did'nt do much for me...
Most underrated burger in town is from 'G Street Foods'. Believe me, I've been to all the places mentioned here but there's something special about the G street burger....it's a very simple, no frills burger but for some reason it is just perfection! I've convinced all my co-workers to try it and EVERYONE says it's their favorite burger.

The editorial team for ManUtd.com, United Review and Inside United provide regular updates from the home of the Reds...
Friday 10 May
17:20 Jose Mourinho has wished David Moyes well ahead of taking up his new job at Old Trafford on 1 July. The Real Madrid coach has endorsed the appointment in an interview with Sky Sports. "I wish Sir Alex a happy life and I wish David a successful career," he said. "I think David Moyes is a great choice. I like him as a person. I like his character as a manager." (AM)
17:15 I spoke with Michael Keane earlier today and wished him well for his promotion push at Leicester. The Foxes take on Watford this Sunday and lead 1-0 from the first leg as he dreams of playing at Wembley with his loan club. (AM)
14:30 The Scot also revealed he has made some recommendations for who his successor at Goodison Park should be: "The chairman asked me and I'll help Everton as much as I possibly can. He asked for my advice and we've spoken. Walter Smith was very good to me - he recommended me for the job [at Everton] and if there is anything I can do to help Bill Kenwright with what happens next then I'll be more than happy to do so." (GT)
14:25 Moyes added: "I wasn't planning to leave Everton. My contract was running out but if you'd have pushed me I'd have said my mind was swaying on staying at Everton. I'd got everything in place for next season - the preparations were ready, pre-season plans were underway and the chairman knew the route we wanted to go down. All we've ever done here is keep planning and preparing for what's next. And that's what I'd done." (GT)

Fender's new CF-140SCE has a smaller "folk" cutaway body shape and liberal string spacing perfect for beginners and flatpickers. Don't let its size fool you though—it projects enough full, rich and resonant acoustic sound to fill a room thanks to its solid spruce top with scalloped quartersawn X bracing. A satin-finish mahogany neck with stabilizing dual-action truss rod makes playing the CF-140SCE smooth and easy.
Other upgraded features include mahogany back and sides, mother-of-pearl rosette and headstock logo inlay, rosewood bridge with compensated Graphtech® Nubone™ saddle and aged pins, smaller fretboard inlays (3mm), rosewood headstock veneer and Fishman® Presys™ pickup system with onboard active preamp and tuner.

An easy guitar to play, both the size and cutaway make it ideal for those of us who normally play electrics, and might want to deliver an acoustic variation to their set. The neck has a "familiar fender feel", although the action is slightly higher than a Strat or Tele (as you'd expect). I spent some valuable time adjusting the truss rod and lowered the action, and give it a litte time to settle before adjusting again.
Has a great tone, which stands out against its competitors and surprised me with a very solid bottom end.The Fishman pickup is effective at delivering the same tone when using an amp, with excellent clarity.
The finish on the body is excellent. On my particular guitar the finish on the neck could be a little better, particularly near the join, some scratches and excess glue. The back of the neck is satin finish, which is my preference as I've found gloss gives the sensation of sticking.
A familiar feel to the fret board makes transitioning from a tele or strat easy (all my guitars have rosewood fretboards and I've been playing for over 20 years so I'm now at the stage where change would be difficult). The frets aren't as nicely rounded as some of Fenders more expensive offerings but at this price it'd be unrealistic to think they would be.
Overall I couldn't find a guitar with a better tone at this price range, or even a couple hundred dollars more. So if your willing to forgive a few small imperfections and focus on tone and playability you'd struggle to go past the little gem.

Barbara Trombley founded Art Institute Glitter in 1983. She began creating greetings cards by writing with glue on card stock and flooding the area with different, brilliant glitters.
"When I gave my cards to people I noticed how the cards and the glitter always made people smile. I decided I wanted to make a career of bringing that sparkle into peoples' lives," Barbara says; hence, the beginning of Art Institute Glitter.
Now, over twenty years later, Art Institute Glitter, Inc. has over 400 unique colors in 11 different types and distributes glitter all over the world, including countries such as Britain, Africa, and Australia.
Art Institute Glitter's main offices are in beautifully restored buildings in the historic old town district of Cottonwood, Arizona. Complete with a retail showroom and classes.
As our customers attest, our glitter is some of the finest glitter in the world. Our motto is "Proven products for professional results". It was created with the artist and craft person in mind. AIG's signature Art Glitter is not the same craft glitter as you find in most stores. It is cut from the highest quality film materials on the world's most technically advanced equipment. Our production facility strives to create the finest and most luminous on the market.
We also offer an exclusive line of adhesives and pencil fine metal tips. These have been specially formulated for use with our fine glitters. In twenty years, with proper application, your project should look as good as new. Designer Dries Clear is our most popular adhesive. Designer Dries White is for creating very white snow. Fabric Dries Clear is for washable fabrics. You will find just the right adhesive to meet your special need and you will be proud of the results.

The sun is setting in the Coachella Valley as I type this, but somewhere on the other side of the world, I feel certain, it is shining and possibly there's a solar panel there converting the sunlight to electricity and reducing the carbon emissions that fossil fuel power would have generated.
The spread of solar around the world is part of the story contained in figures from the European Photovoltaic Industry Association. As of 2012, the world had a bit more than 101 gigawatts of PV running around, producing the same amount of power as 16 coal or nuclear plants of 1 gigawatt each, while reducing carbon emissions by 53 million tons.
Of those 101 GW, just shy of 30 GW were installed last year, about the same as 2011, the EPIA said. What's more important, the geographic spread of PV installations is expanding.
Thirteen gigawatts of solar are now outside Europe, compared to 8 GW in 2011, the EPIA reported. Germany is still the world leader, with 7.6 GW, while China has 3-5-4.5 GW and the U.S. has 3.2 GW. Another report from Greentech Media projects growing solar markets, about 3 GW, in Africa and Middle East in the next two years.
Meanwhile, wind energy is also hitting new highs in terms of how much power it supplies in different states, according to Pete Danko writing on the Earth Techling website.
From midnight Monday to midnight Tuesday, three wind farms in eastern Washington pumped out 16,593 megawatt-hours of power, or about 23.5 percent of the power Puget Sound Energy needed for its 1.1 million customers. Danko writes:
While wind power rises and falls with the varying wind speed – obviously – Puget Sound said its three wind farms are providing at least some power two-thirds of the time and on average are supplying about 10 percent of the power its customers use.
Texas is also breaking records on wind production. The state leads the nation in wind installations over al,l and at 7:08 p.m. on Feb. 9, those turbines were spinning away, producing 9,481 megawatts of power, 10 percent over the previous record of 8,667 MW.
The Feb. 9 high mark represents 28 percent of the load on the state's power system.
Meanwhile in Colorado, Xcel Energy reported that wind power accounted for 16 percent of the 35.9 million megawatt hours of electricity it sold in 2012.
The missing link to drive those numbers even higher is, of course, storage. California may be taking a step toward new green energy ceilings to break with a recent decision from the state's Public Utilities Commission ordering Southern California Edison to add 50 MW of grid storage over the next eight years.
Writing about the order on Greentech Media, Jeff St. John notes it's a relatively small amount of storage, but provides a signal that the state is serious about integrating wind and solar power onto the grid by the 2020 deadline for reaching the state's renewable energy goal of 33 percent.
In the context of total energy production, in the U.S. or worldwide, all these new benchmarks may be relatively small, but they reflect a vision and momentum that will continue to push renewable energy ceilings higher and higher.

Saturday I took a class at the Newberry Library, taught by Grace DuMelle, author of Finding Your Chicago Ancestors. It was one in a series of classes called 60 Minutes to Better Genealogy:Tools to Dig Deeper – Probate and Inquest Records.
I have not really looked into Probate records yet because I thought my families were so poor they would not have made a will but Grace gave me information to indicate that they might still have made a will to provide for the children. She gave many examples of records in Cook County related to Probate such as Guardianship records, Wills, Estate documents, she discussed heirship and show many examples of documents. She also told the class how to search the indexes and locate the documents in Cook County. This is now on my to-do list for summer! Get into the Cook County office and look up the case files I need to request, then request and wait for them so I can return to view them. Most records are stored off site so it can take several business days before the cases one wants to view arrive.
Grave also discussed Inquest records. I have a few death certificates that say Inquest or Coroner's Death Certificate on them, but the Chicago Coroner's Inquest Records online end before my ancestors died. Grace explained the records from that point on are held at the Cook County Medical Examiners office but because they are so loaded with current cases, you cannot expect a timely response. She suggested if you really want a file, to be in their face about it. Write and call every couple of weeks so you stay in the front of their mind. Their records are held in an off-site warehouse as well and they apparently do not visit the site often to retrieve records.
The Chicago Homicide Index was also discussed, which I know well from my Fortunato Fratto's murder. I sent a letter to the Chicago Police Department, Records Unit, asking about his case and if it is possible to get copies of his file. We will see what their response is.
Grace also mentioned the Hearst Newspapers in Chicago, which followed murders, fires, etc. I had not heard of them so need to investigate that further.
Many new areas to consider looking for records. Have you had success getting Inquest records from Cook County? What about Police Files?

Great Outdoors America Week draws people to Washington DC to celebrate our natural heritage and advocate for preserving public lands and outdoor experiences for all Americans.
The Wilderness Society issued the following statement on the U.S. Forest Service proposed rule, released today, for snowmobiles and other over-snow vehicles:
Congresswoman Judy Chu (D-Pasadena) introduced legislation on June 12 that will permanently protect the San Gabriel Mountains and its rivers and improve recreation for this popular destination in Los Angeles County's backyard.
Citing damage to the environment, the economy, drinking water supplies and more, The Wilderness Society, along with other national groups across the U.S., is urging the President and Congress to end years of budget cuts to conservation and natural resource programs.
The Wilderness Society welcomed several items in President Obama's fiscal year 2015 budget, including a better federal funding mechanism for combatting severe wildfires, more funds to address the impacts of climate change and a significant increase to chronically under-funded conservation
Contacts:Michael Anderson, Senior Policy Analyst, email@example.com 206-624-6430 x227
The following statement can be attributed to The Wilderness Society President Jamie Williams, regarding the passage of the farm bill in the Senate.
The following statement is from Alan Rowsome, senior director of government relations for lands at The Wilderness Society:

All 3 of his CD releases since going on his own have been Grammy-nominated, an indication of the excitement around his emergence as a band leader.
