Harris Ranch beef has a good reputation. I've driven past their restaurant and inn a zillion times, but never stopped. I ate there three times over the past weekend. Steak on the way south. Left over ribs later that day. Burger on the way back.
Steak: Over seasoned. Server stopped by to ask if I needed A1. I didn't say "I'm pretty sure this meat has enough sodium on it."
Pork Ribs: Overcooked and over sauced. Probably tried to cook them too fast at too high of a temperature.
Burger: I meant to stop at the Inn and Out about 20 miles south, but it was besieged by tour buses. That would have been a better choice at 1/3 the price.
Meh. I'll still buy their meat.

I don't agree with it all, and it's not all about food, but this mega comment reply to the standard "what should I do on my visit to NYC" is worth it just for the audacious scope.

RIP Sidney Lumet
He is so accomplished at echolocation that he’s able to pedal his mountain bike through streets heavy with traffic and on precipitous dirt trails. He climbs trees. He camps out, by himself, deep in the wilderness. He’s lived for weeks at a time in a tiny cabin a two-mile hike from the nearest road. He travels around the globe. He’s a skilled cook, an avid swimmer, a fluid dance partner. Essentially, though in a way that is unfamiliar to nearly any other human being, Kish can see.

The Health Consequences of Recent Budget Proposals
Budget cuts and spending are often a major issue throughout our country. Right now, that is ever present as the GOP has been launching an attack on the Environmental Protection Agency, by aiming to cut their budget by a third. Decreased resources and money in the budget could hurt the EPA, as less support for initiatives could mean in increase in health issues like mesothelioma, respiratory issues and asthma. Some of the main resources of the EPA go towards preventing water contamination, maintaining air quality, and assisting in asbestos removal, as well as making strides to battle the associated health risks.
One of the primary initiatives of the EPA involves the fight to keep water contamination to a minimum and water consumption safe. The Safe Water Drinking Act allows the EPA to provide a set of standards when it comes to water supply. It also allows the EPA to monitor local government and water suppliers to make sure contamination is at a minimum. Infected and contaminated water can be extremely hazardous while being known to bring forth health risks like lung cancer, Hodgkin’s disease, and some other cancers.
Keeping air quality safe is also a major initiative of the EPA. The Air Quality Modeling Group (AQMG) is a division of the EPA which is aimed to oversee and help smaller agencies, with reference to air quality. The AQMG uses a set of developed models and cycles to help provide others with the information to help air quality. Air quality could see some of the major impacts of lower resources and money for the EPA. Less of a fight for proper air quality could bring about an increase in toxins and pollution, leading to health risks like asthma and other severe respiratory issues.
The EPA also works all over the country to have asbestos removed. Previously known for its versatility and use in buildings all over, Asbestos is now regarded as the cause for diseases like asbestosis and mesothelioma. The fact that mesothelioma life expectancy is often so short, along with the other diseases brought on, has forced the progressive decrease in use of asbestos. Although not in use most anywhere these days, it could still be present in older insulation. With the full amount of resources and money, the EPA is able to combat these health risks through helping in the process of asbestos removal year after year.
Through some its initiatives it’s clear that the EPA plays a major role in not only keeping the environment safe, but also in keeping environmentally associated health risks to a minimum. By lowering the budget by over 30 percent, the EPA’s ability to keep the environment in the best condition, as well as fight as many environmentally related health risks as possible, is on the line.

PHIL LESH TO OPEN NEW VENUE IN MARIN COUNTY
Phil Lesh
In a posting on the official Furthur Message Board, Phil Lesh outlined plans to open up a new venue in Marin County, California called Terrapin Landing. The building will host album nights, singalongs, West Coast rambles (based on Levon Helm's Midnight Rambles), and more. Check out the complete post below:
"We're taking the first steps to make a long time dream- a permanent musical home- come true. We are purchasing a building in Marin, and plan on remodeling it to feel like an old barn; we're calling it Terrapin Landing. We will continue with Furthur while making music at Terrapin Landing when we are at home.
The music will be varied, featuring:
Phil Lesh & Friends (continuing the tradition of revolving lineups, including old as well as new friends)
West Coast Rambles, based on (and blessed by) Levon Helm's historic Rambles
Album night- we pick a favorite album or two to play live
Telstar night- we put together a band for free form improvisation
Sing-alongs to monthly Sunday morning gospel music
Trivia nights
Monthly big band night
Seminars with local musicians and artists
Our goal is to create a vibrant community gathering place: beautiful, comfortable, welcoming - for members of the community to commingle and enjoy good music..... Phil"

David Frum, speaking on NPR's Marketplace points out that nations don't go to war for oil -- that makes no economic sense. They do go to war for access to oil. Fucking genius right there.

Mr. Johnston, it should be noted, is a fan of heirlooms, which, in the broadest sense, are old varieties of “open pollinated” seeds that will grow the same plant again.
But he argues that his typical customers — small market farmers and avid home gardeners — have better choices. Modern seeds, which are generally hybrid crosses, produce a “more vigorous plant, better resistance to diseases,” he said.
And here’s the heirloom heresy: they often taste better, too.
