	+ ------ + ''2009-10-27 17:02:32'' [[nbsp]] You made a number of false assumptions [http://daviswiki.org/Users/JasonAller?action=diff&version2=953&version1=952 here]. One, it was not a threat, but rather, letting him know that if he tried to associate me with his business that I would insist on saying that I had no association with his business and why I did not want to be associated. I'd hardly call that a threat. Two, I don't personally dislike Brian, since I don't know Brian. I do, however, dislike his behavior on the wiki and his business practices and don't wish to be associated with them. Three, it was not a legitimate integration of a comment into an entry. My original comment was not directed at Real Computers, and I want nothing to do with Real Computers, particularly a remark that appears as though I was defending the business in some way. --["Users/CovertProfessor"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-06-08 13:34:40'' [[nbsp]] Hey! I'd be happy to tell you all about ["Coffee-Bagel-Donut Day"]. Normally we are funded for 30 weeks of the year, the 10 weeks of each quarter, not finals week and not breaks. This year we were budgeted $350 a week, which had to cover food, supplies such as cups and plates, and anything incidental that came up (I had two 100-cup coffee urns break this year, which are not cheap to replace and have to come out of the CBDD line item in the GSA's budget). Last year the General Assembly passed the budget with a small amount to keep the event going through the summer, I think $100 a week. So we scale way back for the summer, offering a much more limited selection (just bagels, no donuts, and no "extras" like fresh fruit). It was popular enough that we are doing it again this summer. Next year we got cut back a bit for CBDD, but really, it sustained fewer cuts than a lot of things in the GSA since it does serve a large chunk of the graduate population. By mid-spring quarter we were getting 300+ grad students attending each week! Hopefully this answered your question, but please do feel free to drop me a line if you have any more specific questions: [[MailTo(scellis AT ucdavis DOT edu)]]. --["Users/StaceyEllis"]

It hasn't seen much use, but the idea is to highlight a questionable statement to draw in more input from more people. Some people even went so far as to make outrageous claims, something I never liked (what if nobody came by and corrected them). In this case, it's no more inaccurate than before, but now it has a nice gleaming bullseye for correction on it. --["Users/JabberWokky"]

I can not tell if you think joes comment should stay or not but you have to understand that joe hates me. He is not trying to better the wiki for anyone, he is clearly and obviously just trying to get under my skin because he initally got mad at me for deleting the comments on my page, this whole debate started, and ever since he has simply not liked me at all. This much is obvious. Plus his comment was not true.I do not like to leave rude comments anywhere to anyone ever but sometimes I get upset when people do frustrating things day after day. It should not be alloud to leave a negative comment on any business page unless it is true or at least left by someone who was a customer. like I said before, if joe's commen is ok the it should also be ok for me or someone else to make a list of people ive slept with, because I am the owner right? which seems to be your argument. --["Users/RealComputers"]

Today was my breaking point -- up until a couple days ago, I'd apologize as I started calls and explained that I had a flu (I had a raspy voice Friday and Monday, and I've still got a bit of a burr and cough a few times during calls). Sometime a couple days ago, I started getting a pause on the other end and uncomfortable silence when I said that. I can now explain that I got it from my wife who was sick before Swine flu appeared in about 20 seconds. :-) I'm just hoping bacon prices go down because of this. Yum. Bacon. --["Users/JabberWokky"]

I just typed a sentence and deleted it... when I'm less groggy, I'll try to make my specific point (which is along the lines of Philip's edit comment: if there's no issue anymore, and they couldn't really use it anyway, there's no real need to act).

I mostly added those comments because it really bugs me to see people trying to expound an extreme view in one direction or the other, so you might see me doing a lot of edits to call people out on the crap they're trying to spread around. It annoys the hell out of me to see people making comments like that when two or three minutes of internet research can easily prove it one way or another. Makes me glad I'm an engineer, since I've had some bad experiences in courses like American Studies or Sociology. --["Users/JoePomidor"]

When they came to our house, they told us that the following things would let our dog know that we were dominant: walk in the house before your dog, don't let your dog sit on the furniture, teach your dog to "down-stay" and do long down-stays (e.g., a half hour every day), make your dog wait in a stay before you eat, always eat before your dog eats, teach your dog to heel, etc., etc. Of the things that they did might make people uncomfortable: they did have us do "leash corrections" while the dog was on heel (a jerk on the leash), they did push the dog down to initially show it the down position, and they did recommend a prong collar, which we didn't use and they didn't give us any flack for. Obviously, I can't deny Dr. Bain's or others' experiences, and maybe other people's dogs were more aggressive and so the trainers got more aggressive with them than they were with our dog? Or maybe some of the trainers are more aggressive than others? But it is simply a fact that praise is part of the training... you can see it on their website. Dog does something "wrong," yes, you correct it, perhaps with leash and certainly with a firm "no." Dog does something "right," you tell it "good dog" (or whatever) and pet it or scratch it. That is what they told us to do. (They are against using food or clickers as positive reinforcement). Look, I have no connection with these people (I guess you'll just have to take my word for that) -- but we had a very good experience with them, as did my friend who recommended them. So, I think others can read my comment on the page and read Dr. Bain's, and decide for themselves. --["Users/CovertProfessor"]	+ ''2009-03-10 20:57:03'' [[nbsp]] Well, as I said, what they call "dog psychology" involves being dominant over your dog.

Cal.net hasn't offered MDL service in quite a while, and has since merged with another provider as of 2008 and has improved service and support from Cal.net's 2001-2002 age. However, since I was never a big fan of the MDL service offering as it was I'd like to keep it for future reference IE I can point it out to my bosses and go "Hey, look at how horrible this was for our customers, lets never ever do it again". I'd like to clean up our entry a bit but since I'm A) an employee and B) in management I figured I'd check around first. Thanks in advance! --["Users/ChrisThompson"]

I chop some fresh veggies and toss them in a wok, then when they are getting cooked, some water and then the noodles. Technically that is how they are supposed to be used (well, with the packet, but that's a little salty for me). See the front, and how it says "serving suggestion" and is full of fresh vegetables? When I used to have an office in downtown West Palm, I used to bring little containers of chopped up veggies from that morning and cook them for lunch with ramen.

	+ * Except that he presumably ordered it medium and was complaining that it was pink (using the logic that if he had ordered it well, he would have included that information in his strenuous complaint). The mighty oracle of our time [wiki:wikipedia:"Temperature (meat)" says that's the way it should be]. As I note in my comment below, the treadmill of Rare/Medium/Well going more toward the well side was the other side of my issue with the subject. A medium burger ''should'' be pink in the middle. His friend's burger being red... well, that might be an issue if he ordered it medium. Go back to my very first reply (on the B&B entry) and note that I asked how they ordered them and pointed out that it should be pink if it were medium (and red for rare). And with my citing of the first reply, I do believe you are correct: we have come full circle. By the way, thanks for the heads up regarding the 2007 CalCode update. I was unaware that it had been revamped. The last time I read it I was sitting in Java California a few years ago going through a print copy. It's interesting reading (at least to me). --jw

	+ * Sure does. Wasn't ever arguing that - like I said above, I've had raw ground beef dishes before at restaurants. But I've been talking in context to the page. If the place isn't going to cook it to regulation, it's required that either the person specifically asks it be less than thoroughly cooked, or they notify you in advance that it will be. Taking us back to the original comment about it, and my original reply: If the guy asked for a medium burger (which does satisfy the cooking requirement and iirc is what the USDA recommends as the minimum), and he got a red burger, he should have sent it back! It wasn't cooked enough. And now we've come full circle I think, heh.

	+ * Check section 114093. That's your "you can serve rare steak and salad dressings with raw eggs" section. It specifically allows for egg, meat and seafood that is cooked less than the above stated regulations as long as you are saying that you are going to give it to them and they ask for it (i.e., sushi is okay, fish sticks that aren't fried all the way through is not). Comminuted meat (i.e., ground meat) is specifically listed. It explicitly overrides section 114004, which is what you are referring to. --jw

Governor Schwarzenegger signed the amended law on July 20, 2007. Due to the urgency clause, SB 744 became law the same day that the Governor signed the bill.'' It's a law, not a set of recommendations or suggested guidelines. 113705. Legislative intent to preempt local standards: The Legislature finds and declares that the public health interest requires that there be uniform statewide health and sanitation standards for RETAIL FOOD FACILITIES to assure the people of this state [blahblahblah]". Enforcement however is on the local department level. Anyway, down in General Food Safety ''Requirements'' Somewhere around article 114000ish has the meat part. There was a different article number back when this was the California Uniform Retail Food Facilities Law, before it expired.

	+ * Again, it's not a law, just a suggested guideline (that is the specific sticking point I have -- I don't like it in general when people say "we can't do that because of laws" when they could just be honest and say "we don't trust ourselves or you, so we don't allow that"). Of course, I'm even more upset when laws get passed that outlaw things that people do to themselves. I have congenital heartburn (it's a family thing on my father's side), and I don't eat certain kinds of food (leafy vegetables or anything not fully cooked) when I'm downing antacids. I know that the antacids are wiping out a chunk of my ability to safely ingest stuff that would normally be okay. I'm just saying that (the rest of the time) it is perfectly safe from a lifestyle standpoint. Riding a bike is dangerous. Getting into a car even more so. But there are things we choose to do all our lives and can generally expect to expire from that activity. Someday I'll fall under the category of "elderly" and have to reassess what I do, from bike riding to eating rare burgers. But for now they are what I consider safe. I also grew up diving into pools and bodies of water (well, I grew up on an island). That's also a no-no by today's suggested guidelines. I still feel comfortable doing it and having my kids do it. It's a risky activity, just like many other things in life. It's just not so risky it is something that I avoid, and as an adult, I'd like to make that call myself. (By the way, at some point we should probably move this to email or IRC rather than cluttering up the wiki with our front porch talk).
