Citizens in cities on Colorado's front range are pushing back against the fracking boom by passing ballot measures to either prohibit the practice or ban it temporarily.
The town of Longmont was the first in Colorado to ban fracking in 2012, when voters changed their city charter to prohibit it. Governor John Hickenlooper's administration then sued Longmont over their ban, claiming only the state has the authority to regulate drilling.
Despite the lawsuit, in 2013 even more Colorado cities passed anti-...
Fox News: "Happy Feet an Animated Inconvenient Truth"
Fox News: "Happy Feet an Animated Inconvenient Truth"
It's important to watch FoxNews once in a while, to be reminded what kind of goofiness is being foisted on the public in the guise of news. Take, for example, Neil Cavuto's recent fit about someone slipping thoughtful messages into children's movies.
Cavuto and Fox movie reviewer Holly McClure are apoplectic because Happy Feet, the most popular movie in America for the last two weeks, takes aim at the issue of overfishing, which Cavuto calls a "far left message" that suggests "humans and big business are to blame." He concluded:
"My biggest thing was — you can make a political statement all you want — adult movie and all. I just think it's a little tacky, and ... big-time objectionable when you start foisting it on kids who don't know any better."
I haven't seen the movie yet. My kids are old enough to have insisted on the rather harsher lessons buried in Casino Royale. But as messages go, this seems pretty mild. I mean, overfishing IS bad, isn't it?
I also get the sense that McClure and Cavuto don't get out much (which is understandable given the reported attention span of Cavuto's kids). What about the anti-development sentiments of Over the Hedge? What about the subtle vegetarian pitch in Babe and Charlotte's Web, or the anti-hunting hysteria in Bambi? You have elitism in Lion King, anti-elitism in The Incredibles, feminism in Mulan. Then you have that long, preachy anti-lying lecture, Pinocchio.Clearly, Hollywood has been out to colonize our children's brains for generations.
The great thing about kids' movies, though, is that you usually see them with your kids. That means that Neil Cavuto can tell his own children that Fox News believes overfishing is an important part of the American way of life, performed by noble corporations that have made us all wealthy and that pay Daddy's salary. The rest of us can enjoy the laughs and maybe just let our kids reach their own conclusions. After all, unlike Fox News announcers, kids are smarter than they look.

Pretty Good
found useful by 1
They have some really nice items which I would love to buy, however, there only seems to be stock for smaller people. It might be 'once it's gone it's gone' but the smaller sizes take forever to go whereas you're lucky if you find bigger sizes, especially shoes. The layout could do with work as well. I think the site would benefit from more search options, like being able to select your size rather than having to go through everything, finding something you'd like to buy, only to find they don't have your size. it's just a waste of time. All that said, the item quality is good as I have purchased things from the site and am very happy.

Also suspends on-air commentator who used "Chink in the Armor" line.
Things are so crazy for the Knicks right now that even their days off are busy.
What it was like inside the official MSG viewing party last night.
The Knicks blow out the Kings to win their seventh in a row.
MSG and Time Warner execs are bargaining.
Seems like the league's plotting ways to rope their new big story into their big mid-season event.
The Knicks' point guard hits a three-pointer at the buzzer to beat the Toronto Raptors.
The first Knicks superstar returns to the lineup tonight against Toronto.
Jeremy Lin actually only played one game in the D-League, and it was a great one.
The Knicks traded their entire team for a guy everyone now wants to go away.
It's not a fad. It's not a fluke. It's the best Knicks story in about twenty years.

DIY is more fun with a friend. Our Dual DIY series pairs two bloggers together on one project. Here, The Home Depot's Caroline Inge teams up with Whitney Curtis of The Curtis Casa to create a cactus and succulent garden in a cool copper container Caroline acquired. They shared some great tips on decorating and container gardening. We have a list of the materials they used, and we've added a very cool video of Caroline and Whitney working on this DIY succulent garden project.
Whitney: I love planting succulent containers, they are such an easy way to add plant life to your home, without all the responsibility. Don't worry about forgetting to water every once in awhile, they'll be just fine!
Caroline: I've tried growing a few small succulents before, but I've never had any luck with them. After chatting with you about it while we were shopping, I learned that one of the first things I did wrong was that I purchased the wrong varieties!

RichTC - 2:27 pm on Aug 23, 2007 (gmt 0)
we dont know that the google algo isnt corrupt at some level ... but its unlikely it will be, to any great level. BUT introducing a Third Party human involvement most certainly increases that risk by a considerable margin. As for the current google serps over all they are still good and ahead of anyone else in this space by a mile so for google to take a risk by including an extra factor from a third party source that COULD damage their serps would be a bad move. As ive already commented,DMOZ should not be viewed by google any differantly to ANY other human edited directory. DMOZ is not Wiki, its not a source of precise correctly listed data covering the internet and its not the "TRUSTED" source that it perhaps may have been when the net was significantly smaller in size a number of years ago. Whilst i appreciate that some here are a fan of the outdated dmoz concept, i just dont see it offering any advantage to search and could bring other problems to google that google currently doesnt have. [edited by: RichTC at 2:28 pm (utc) on Aug. 23, 2007]
And, how do we know that the algo isn't corrupt at some level?

How to Play Roblox
Edited by The Leopard Gecko, Amazon111, Webster, Viral and 38 others
If you're looking for a fun game to play that has bricks and battles, Roblox is it. Roblox provides a place where you can express your creativity to the fullest. See Step 1 to get started playing this incredible game.
1Go to the Roblox website.Ad
2Create your account and click on "My Roblox". This brings you to your Roblox homepage.
3Customize your profile. Click on catalogue, then click on best selling, then click on shirts or pants and buy one that you like. After you've done that you can click 'character' and put them on.
4Change the site settings. For example, you are allowed to verify your (or your parent's) email to get a free hat, or if you are registering for your child, turn on parental controls.
5Find a place to play online, or start off by visiting your place. You will need to download the Roblox Browser in order to play a game.
6Move with WASD or the arrow keys. Space bar lets you jump.
7Get a feel for the camera. Hold the right mouse button and move the mouse to pan the camera. You can also turn it with left/right.
8There are also badges you can earn to show that you have improved in something, such as combat badges.Ad
- Once you have a few hundred tickets, try buying an ad (you design them yourself!) for the site. It costs an initial bid plus half of your starting bid per week for an ad.
- Don't be afraid to look at page 15 of the public games or more, you often find good places this way.
- Buy Builders Club and receive 10 places, 15 daily Robux and other additional benefits.
- Every time you login, you receive 10 free tickets per day. You also get another free ticket for every time someone visits your place.
- You don't have to have an account to play on Roblox, but if you want your own place, friends, an avatar, etc. then get an account.
- It's probably a good idea to get used to the controls in your own place. Saying "HOW DO I JUMP" is not the best way to figure out the controls.
- If you know Lua pretty well, you can also create more then just wild shoot-and-builds.
- Don't get people mad, or spawnkill them. It is considerably rude and no one will like you for doing that.
- People will threaten to hack you. They cannot get into ROBLOX's account system, but do not bait them by teasing them. You don't want to look silly for other people in the sever.
- The roblox community can be good at times, and other times it can be the worst people you've met. Make sure to make friends to prevent this from happening.
- If someone offers to by you Builder's Club, DO NOT ACCEPT IT. If it is via Gamecode, they will email ROBLOX with the code and they will have control of your account. If it is via credit card, giving them your password will give them control.

Chef Nobu Opens a Pop-Up Restaurant at The Fairmont Monte Carlo
Chef Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa andChef Philippe Joann�s, the Executive Chef of the Fairmont Monte Carlo
Chef Nobu Matsuhisa has been a busy man this year. Aside from running his chain of Nobu restaurants around the world and opening his first hotel in Las Vegas, he's carved out some time in his frenetic schedule to open a pop-up restaurant at the Fairmont Monte Carlo.
Open from now through June 9, the pop-up Nobu is serving lunch and dinner daily inside the hotel's existing restsaurant, l'Argentin Monte Carlo. A special terrace has opened up just for the Nobu tables too, allowing guests to take in the killer views of France, Italy and Monaco while noshing on the Nobu specialities such as Black cod yuzu miso, the Wagyu gyoza, and the King crab leg with shiso salsa.

There's More To This Picture (Frame) Than You Might Think
You know those lazy afternoons in hotels when you're sitting in your room wondering, 'What the heck am I gonna do for the next three hours until dinner?' Well, there's a nifty little device that's been popping up in places like The Hermitage in Monte Carlo and Kempinski Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.
Produced by a Dubai-based company called Sweetbeam, the bedside devices look like regular old picture frames. Except the images change. And upon closer inspection, you see that this isn't just background art�these are customized ads, subtly (or not) promoting different amenities that the hotel offers.
Forgot to bring your bathing suit? Turns out there's a boutique in the lobby�and bathing suits are on sale! Wondering what time happy hour starts? Five minutes ago! Didn't know there was a spa? Well, surprise�it's one floor above your room!
(Well, the ads don't use quite so many exclamation points as we do, but you get the idea...)

Karl Lagerfeld Gets His Gloves On Monte Carlo's H�tel M�tropole
The ever-opinionated Karl Lagerfeld is once again slapping his signature stamp on a hotel.
This time, the H�tel M�tropole Monte-Carlo has been graced with the designer�s over-the-top touch. A few spaces are been redesigned in the 19th-century Belle �poque property including the pool, terrace and gardens. One part has already been Lagerfeld-ized with 15 fresco-style etched-glass and backlit panels that recount Ulysess� Voyages.
We also hear from the Telegraph there are some frescoes of Baptiste Giabiconi, the designer's favorite male model, in which he�s portrayed as a Greek god. Oh, lawd. It�s every bit as bananas as you�d expect from a man who made a Paris hotel suite with a chocolate model in it. (See below.)

Bill Clinton Classes Up the Hotel De Paris...Oh Wait
By now, you've probably all seen the photo of Bill Clinton posing with two lovely ladies during a benefit for the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the William J. Clinton Foundation in Monaco at the Hotel de Paris.
Except those two lovely ladies are actually porn stars, Brooklyn Lee and Tasha Reign. Oops.
The luxury hotel right next to the famed Monte Carlo casino has seen its share of celebrity guests before and has even made several movie cameos. But porn stars might be a first. Right now, the hotel has got to be wishing Selena Gomez was back in town.
Nevertheless, the luxury hotel can command about 600 Euros a night for simple yet refined Belle Epoque-styled guestrooms. Can't quite pony up the Euros to stay here? Perhaps a drink at Le Bar Americain will suffice.

We Made Ours a Combo at the Hermitage Hotel's Spa
The dress code at Monte Carlo's Hermitage Hotel may be 'chic' and 'elegant attire,' but if you see guests wandering around the lobby in robes and slippers, as we did, there's no need to call the fashion police. These people have just come been enjoying the hotel's spa, Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo.
We had the chance to try a treatment there recently, and we gotta say, there's more going on here than just scented candles and Swedish massages. The spa is known for its sports programs, high-tech machines and nutritional counseling, all of which draw high-profile athletes and the dancers of the local Monte Carlo Ballet.
Then there's that huge solarium-style pool with views of the Mediterranean...

While we're rather partial to Monte Carlo's Hotel Hermitage for its quiet elegance, and dig the water views and amenities over at the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel, all of the big names who visit Monaco stay at the Hotel de Paris.
That includes the gamblers. As the closest hotel to the Casino Monte-Carlo, and with rates that warrant a turn at the blackjack table, Hotel de Paris is a natural choice for anyone keen for a flutter. What we learned when popping into the Hotel De Paris for dinner recently, was that it is tradition upon entering the hotel's lobby to rub the knee of Louis XIV's horse.
You won't have any trouble remembering which knee of the statue to caress, either--as you can see from our snapshot, the many years of lucky rubs have left their mark on the ol' steed.

Santa Has His Sights Set on Hotel Hermitage Monte Carlo
If you've seen the latest iPhone ad, you know that Santa is using Siri to navigate his way around the globe this Christmas. One place we know he'll be hitting up is the pretty Hotel Hermitage in Monte Carlo.
The posh hotel, the more subdued sister of the famous Hotel de Paris, is offering a special Christmas package partly inspired by the growing number of families who have to choose sides when it comes to where to spend Christmas. And they're throwing in an appearance by P�re No�l aka Santa.
We already told you about the hotel's Christmas package here but if you're in need of a very, very last-minute stay in MC for Xmas, here's what the Hermitage is offering:

Where to Have Christmas or Hanukkah in Your Hotel Room This Holiday Season
Like it or not, the holiday season has officially begun. So while you're drawing up your Christmas wish lists or plotting out the best strategy for door-busting on Black Friday, don't forget to plan out your hotel stay. From now through New Year's Eve, we'll be pulling out the holiday hotel news, deals and events we think are the best (or the worst.) Got a question about booking a hotel over the holidays or what to do when staying in a hotel over the holidays? Let us know!
So you've decided to stay in a hotel over Christmas or during Hanukkah but you're worried you might be missing out on all the holiday fun up in your room. Well, if you're staying at these places below you can have the holidays delivered straight to your door.
At the Four Seasons Whistler in Canada, the hotel's "Deck the Halls" package includes a four or five-foot Christmas tree already on a stand and brought up to your room with lights, bulbs and a star for the top, along with hot chocolate, milk, freshly baked cookies, a Christmas music CD and one stocking per guest with their name embroidered on it.
Naturally, this makes the already pricey Four Seasons resort a bit pricier at $1,200 CAD a night before taxes. There's also a minimum stay of four nights. But there's a chance you could see a hunky Australian action star.

We Have Selena Gomez to Blame For This Bad Case of Hotel Lust
You may know the luxe Hotel de Paris in Monaco from the James Bond movies and its location adjacent to the famous Monte Carlo casino but now your daughter also knows the hotel, thanks to new Selena Gomez movie, "Monte Carlo."
But just FYI, there is no Grimaldi Suite at the hotel, although the Churchill and Garnier suites are nothing short of spectacular. Not that the regular rooms are all that shabby either. The five different room categories each have their own distinct look (we're partial to the pretty city view rooms and the more modern courtyard rooms--the sea view rooms seem fussy) and all come with luxe furnishings, decor and amenities.

Wouldn't You Like to Feel The Sand Beneath Your Feet...in This Hotel Pool?
As we mentioned yesterday in our review of the Monte Carlo Bay Resort, the place to be when staying at the hotel is poolside.
That's because the hotel's pool area includes a sandy-bottomed "lagoon", an indoor swimming pool (that connects to the outdoor one), a childrens pool, and several jacuzzis placed throughout.
And while you're busy walking on sand, the mesmerizing Mediterranean is always just over your shoulder. You may even be able to spot Grandma's cruise ship a Russian billionaire's yacht!

Inside The Monte Carlo Bay Resort, But It Might Cost You Extra
Yesterday, we took you inside the posh Hermitage Hotel in Monte Carlo. Today, we're giving you another option to consider when you head to Monaco this summer--The Monte Carlo Bay Resort.
We've already spouted our love for the rooms' plug panels but now allow us to take you all the way inside.

Inside The Hermitage Hotel in Monte Carlo, For Those Who Live in 'Chic' and 'Elegant' Attire
Things may be quiet on the South of France right now, not to mention a little chilly but if you're keen to get planning on your summer vacay, allow us to take you inside the ritzy Hermitage Hotel in Monte Carlo.
The hotel has a magnificent location in Square Beaumarchais with killer views of the Mediterranean and the Monte Carlo marina (Hello, Yacht-spotting!) It's also steps away (or a Lamborghini joyride) from the famed Monte Carlo Casino, luxury designer stores and countless watch shops (there's even a Prada store within the hotel.)
But is it worth your sugar daddy's money? Let's go inside....

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
You are given the following pieces of information about a real, stable, discrete-time signal x and its DTFT X, which can be written in the form [tex]X(\omega)=A(\omega)e^{i\theta_x(\omega)}[/tex] where [tex]A(\omega)=\pm|X(\omega|[/tex]. a) x is a finite-length signal b) [tex]\hat{X}[/tex] has exactly two poles at z=0 and no zeros at z=0. c) [tex]\theta_x(\omega)=\begin{cases} \frac{\omega}{2}+\frac{\pi}{2} & 0<\omega<\pi \\ \frac{\omega}{2}-\frac{\pi}{2} & -\pi<\omega<0\end{cases}[/tex] d) [tex]X(\omega)\Big|_{\omega=\pi}=2[/tex] e) [tex]\int_{-\pi}^\pi e^{2i\omega}\frac{d}{d\omega}X(\omega)d\omega =4\pi i[/tex] f) The sequence v whose DTFT is V (ω) = Re (X(ω)) satisfies v(2) = 3/2. 2. Relevant equations [tex]\hat{H}(z)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty h(n)z^{-n}[/tex] [tex]H(\omega)=\hat{H}(z)\Big|_{z=e^{i\omega}}[/tex] 3. The attempt at a solution By parts e) and f) I've figured out that x(-2)=4 and x(2)=-1. With that and part a) and b), I've realized that the rightmost endpoint of x is x(2)=-1 and the leftmost endpoint of x is less than n=-2 (the transfer function can't converge at infinity since the system cannot be causal). Part d) gives me [tex]\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty (-1)^n x(n) = 2[/tex], but I'm unsure how to use it at the moment. I do not know how to use part c) at all. Can someone help shed some light on the problem? |

Easy Handmade Fringe Boas / Scarves
Make sure you check out the quality handmade and vintage galleries!
I had a blast creating these one of a kind handmade t-shirt fringe boa / scarves! It took a long time to knot every single piece of "fringe," but it was a hoot! I loved how, after every piece knotted, it changed the creation – adding to it and almost deciding what color and length the next t-shirt fringe piece would be.
I used a multitude of strips cut from t-shirt material and knotted them on to a long strip. These inner strips were seams from the t-shirts I cut up. If I used a longer t-shirt strip, I figured it wouldn't be strong enough to hold all those other little strips. Makes sense? I hope so!
With all this t-shirt fringe, it really keeps your neck warm. You can make them as long or as full as you'd like. The pink handmade scarf measures approximately 90 inches long, with individual fringe measuring anywhere from approximately one inch to approximately twelve inches. The blue handmade scarf measures approximately 79 inches long, with individual fringe measuring anywhere from approximately one inch to approximately eleven inches. The green handmade scarf measures approximately 72 inches long, with individual fringe measuring anywhere from approximately one inch to approximately nine inches. It also has bits of "silky" fringe amongst the t-shirt fringe.
Please click on each photo (above and below) to enlarge.
If you don't want to take the time to make these, I do have them for sale!

C in the news!
Hey everybody!
We've been super busy this last week preparing for our shoot in February. The sets & props are in their final planning stages and we are almost ready to start construction.
We never would have made it this far without your help getting the word out about the film. So in honor of that, here's a round-up all the best press we received during and after campaign so far:
A great post-campaign write-up from everybody's favorite tech news source.
This technology blog focused on our techniques behind-the-scenes-- miniatures, materials, lighting & camera tricks, etc.
A design-oriented blog asked us our thoughts on how new camera technology is changing indie sci-fi's reliance on CGI.
This is a fantastic article about the concept & story, it really hits all the points we were going for with the trailer and discusses the ideas in-depth.
We were posted on slashdot, and the spike in traffic broke our website! We were slightly misquoted, and came off as anti-CGI nay-sayers, so a pretty heated discussion followed in the comments. Yikes!
An early feature on one of the top sci-fi blogs.
An enthusiastic plug from the notoriously snarky and intelligent iwatchstuff.com
Twitchfilm was one of our earliest supporters, it's a great source for indie & genre film news. Check 'em out!
Creator Space Babies on January 10, 2012
So the slashdot effect still exists. Who'd have thought?

Joe for Model Number Kitchen Aid KDRP467-KSSO
Answer Joe, You will want or need to check several wires. First, check the orange wire(connector P8 pin 4) check and make sure the wire and connection is tight at the control board and the door lock motor, and the switch should have a closed circuit in the off mode.You will then need to check the P7 connector at the control board, P7 pin 1(brn) to P7 pin 3 (tan) should be a closed circuit. P7 pin 2(blu) to P7 pin 3(tan) should be an "open" circuit, unless the door latch is in the locked position. You haven't mentioned any error codes in the display, and if the problem is intermittent, we need to look for a loose connection or weak circuit. We'll send you some wiring information, so you will have a better idea of what occurrs in a cycle, and can trace the wires as needed.

Answer Hello Joe. It sounds like the door latch 8302156 is bad and will need to be replaced. You need to check for bad wiring on the unit as well.

For backseat travel and plane trips, the Leapster system -- for ages 4 to 8-- has popular animated characters, but with an educational twist: kids play learning games, read electronic books, create art. (They can also do stuff like watch videos.)
Leapster2 Learning Game System
Game player, plus connection to online LeapFrog Learning Path: kids can connect to extra activities and rewards; parents can track what kids are learning. For ages 4 through 8.

Of course the game player comes in fancier guises too. This one is going for good looks, in pink.LeapFrog Leapster Educational Game: Finding Nemo
The "Finding Nemo" movie was one of Disney's big successes, thanks to several memorable characters.

For ages for to six years.LeapFrog Leapster Educational Game: SpongeBob SquarePants

Right-wing media have attempted to manufacture outrage against the Affordable Care Act by promoting the misleading claim that the health care law includes a taxpayer-funded bailout for health insurance companies. In fact, the provision, known as reinsurance, is funded by the insurance companies themselves, not taxpayer money.
Fox News' Gretchen Carlson distorted comments by Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) to accuse him of hypocrisy after allowing some of his staff to remain on their current health plans.
After reports that Reid would allow certain staffers to keep their existing coverage, Carlson aired comments Reid made in September 2013 about whether his staff would join the Affordable Care Act's exchanges and claimed he was "changing his tune." Carlson claimed Reid said his entire staff would be on the exchanges and accused him of "total hypocrisy."
However, Reid's statements from September do not contradict his decision to allow select staff members to remain on their existing coverage. Carlson failed to distinguish between Reid's personal legislative staff, who are enrolling through exchanges as mandated by law, and the staff that serves for leadership committees, who the ACA does not require to enroll through exchanges. He and his personal Senate office staff will indeed enroll for new coverage through the exchanges, as mandated by law:
In September, Reid told reporters, "Let's stop these really juvenile political games -- the one dealing with health care for senators and House members and our staff. We are going to be part of exchanges, that's what the law says and we'll be part of that."
That's true. Reid and his personal staff will buy insurance through the exchange.
But it's also true that the law lets lawmakers decide if their committee and leadership staffers hold on to their federal employee insurance plans, an option Reid has exercised.

Fox News provided airtime to Milton Wolf, a self-described tea party conservative who was billed as "Obama's second cousin, once removed," to promote his campaign and ask for donations to finance his challenge to Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) in the Republican primary.
Appearing on The Real Story, Wolf told host Gretchen Carlson he was running to stop Obama from "destroying America." He accused Obama of failing to understand American exceptionalism, and attacked the Affordable Care Act, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and his primary opponent. At the end of the interview Wolf gave out his website address and told Carlson that "your viewers can contribute, can get on our website, and they can help us get this job done." Laughing, Carlson told him, "you may be a doctor but you're a good politician already, you know how to talk."

Fox News host Gretchen Carlson tried to resurrect the debunked claim that President Obama played a role in the IRS' targeting of political groups.
On the October 21 edition of Fox News' The Real Story With Gretchen Carlson, Carlson attempted to "put the president under the microscope" about what he knew and suggested that investigations into the matter "never really got to the bottom of it." Carlson invited regular Fox News guest Jay Sekulow, chief counsel with the conservative American Center for Law and Justice, which filed a lawsuit against the government over allegations about what the IRS did. Sekulow acknowledged that he has not added Obama's name to the lawsuit, but that did not stop him or Carlson from fueling speculation that Obama had prior knowledge of what happened:
Despite Carlson's speculation, there is no evidence whatsoever to tie President Obama to the IRS' actions. A July 16 memo issued by the office of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) compiled information from 15 IRS employees based on interviews with the GOP-led House Oversight Committee. According to the memo, the committee found that "[n]one of these witnesses reported any political motivation or White House involvement."
Sekulow admitted that "We don't have a memo from the White House to the IRS" but revived the right-wing claim that Obama was responsible for the targeting based on criticism of the Tea Party.
From the October 18 edition of Fox News' The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson:

Fox News offered the Republican Party advice on how they might recover from the GOP-led government shutdown that damaged the images of both Republicans and the tea party and caused at least $24 billion in economic harm.
Late in the evening of October 16, the federal government reopened after a 16-day shutdown, which began after Republicans in Congress refused to pass any bill to fund the government if it included funding for the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Republican tea party members of Congress like Sen. Ted Cruz led the shutdown effort, which according to The New York Times was conceived by conservative activists months in advance. After two weeks, Standard and Poor's estimated the shutdown cost the U.S. economy $24 billion, and the company reduced its forecast for economic growth as a result. And this cost is still climbing.
Following the shutdown, Republican party approval ratings plummeted to all-time lows, while the percentage of Americans with an unfavorable opinion of the tea party is at an all-time high. According to NBC News, 53 percent of Americans blame the GOP for the shutdown, versus 31 percent who blame the president -- a 22-point spread. Those numbers have led some political analysts to predict the GOP may lose its House majority in the upcoming mid-term elections.
Fox News responded by launching into damage-control mode. On the October 17 edition of The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson, Carlson and Fox contributor Rich Lowry attempted to advise the GOP on ways it could "get its mojo back" after the shutdown debacle.
Ironically, Fox is attempting to clean up a mess they helped create -- the network was instrumental in the creation of the tea party, and its own pundits cheered on the shutdown-strategy both before and after its implementation.
The network, which has often attempted to rehabilitate the images of its favorite politicians, has now focused its efforts toward the entire Republican Party.
Fox News proposed that uninsured young adults should reject coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) because they can gain it at any point after an accident to cover medical expenses -- irresponsible advice that could wreak havoc on millennials' financial futures.
Gretchen Carlson hosted Fox contributor Guy Benson on the October 11 edition of her new daytime program The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson to discuss whether young adults will sign up for health coverage on the exchanges. The two repeatedly suggested that "healthy" millennials may pay for coverage "they are not going to need," going so far as to suggest it would be more fiscally responsible for young adults to go uninsured until a major trauma occurs:
BENSON: If they say, 'forget it I'm going to wait, pay the relatively cheap tax and then if I get sick and if I get into an accident, then the insurers have to take me because I have a pre-existing condition,' it just makes more sense to do that --
CARLSON: You just brought it full circle for us.
BENSON: -- from a dollars and cents perspective. I'm not trying to make a political point there, I'm trying to make an economic point. And a lot of people are realizing that.
Benson's advice is not only wrong, it's dangerous.
While insurers are required to cover people with pre-existing health conditions under the ACA, coverage isn't available all the time. Those seeking insurance through the exchanges can sign up only during the open enrollment period, which starting next year will run from approximately October 15 -- December 7 annually. Exceptions are made for qualifying life events like marriage or birth of child -- not for sudden illnesses or accidents.
Young adults who opt out of coverage will be responsible for the full costs of these events. And when the average hospital stay or treatment for a broken leg is approximately $10,000 without insurance, footing the bill would likely be unaffordable.
It's not just Fox doling out this irresponsible advice to millennials -- conservative activist groups with ties to the billionaire Koch brothers have been running ads to scare young adults away from gaining coverage. At the same time, Fox has actively avoided acknowledging that many young adults are in fact eager to buy health insurance under new ACA provisions.
From the October 9 edition of Fox News' The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson:

Fox News host Gretchen Carlson expressed shock over voter fraud realities during an interview with contributor Julie Roginsky, claiming "most states cannot brag about" the .00174 percent voter fraud rate in North Carolina. Contrary to Carlson's claim, the rate of voter fraud found in North Carolina is typical, and even higher than the nationwide rate.
On the September 30 edition of Fox News' The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson, Roginsky and guest Dee Dee Benkie joined Carlson in a discussion on the Justice Department's lawsuit against North Carolina over its strict new voting laws. Carlson was taken aback when confronted with the low rates of voter fraud in North Carolina, claiming, "that sounds like they're the best state in the nation, which I will look into after this show, because most states cannot brag about that":
Carlson should not be shocked. According to a study by News21, a part of the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education, "analysis of 2,068 alleged election-fraud cases since 2000 shows that while fraud has occurred, the rate is infinitesimal." Nationwide, cases of voter impersonation that resulted in convictions or guilty pleas accounted for about .00000013 of the 197 million votes cast for federal candidates between 2002 and 2005.
A state-by-state map reveals that the number of confirmed voter fraud cases in North Carolina is in step with many other states. Some states, like New York and Louisiana, have even lower rates. In Pennsylvania, where a voter ID law has been blocked several times, there have been five cases of voter fraud since 2000.
Carlson's misinformed analysis on voter fraud rates falls in line with right-wing media's constant attempts to paint voter fraud as epidemic, despite a lack of evidence to support the claim.

Cool black night thru redwoods
cars parked outside in shade
behind the gate, stars dim above
the ravine, a fire burning by the side
porch and a few tired souls hunched over
in black leather jackets. In the huge
wooden house, a yellow chandelier
at 3 A.M. the blast of loudspeakers
hi-fi Rolling Stones Ray Charles Beatles
Jumping Joe Jackson and twenty youths
dancing to the vibration thru the floor,
a little weed in the bathroom, girls in scarlet
tights, one muscular smooth skinned man
sweating dancing for hours, beer cans
bent littering the yard, a hanged man
sculpture dangling from a high creek branch,
children sleeping softly in their bedroom bunks.
And 4 police cars parked outside the painted
gate, red lights revolving in the leaves.

Sterling | Falcon | Vanishing Point | Custom 823 | Custom Heritage 92 | Custom 74 |
Standard Nibs | Preground Specialty Nibs |
In 1915, Ryosuki Namiki began producing gold nibs, and, in 1916, complete writing instruments. In 1918, Namiki and Masao Wada formed the Namiki Manufacturing Company, Ltd. In 1938, the company became the Pilot Fountain Pen Company, Ltd. Pilot revolutionized the fountain pen in 1964 with the introduction of the Capless, a fountain pen that offered the click-click convenience of a ballpoint, with a nib that retracts completely into the barrel.
If what you want isn't here, please contact us by email. You can see the complete Namiki and Pilot lines at Namiki's site.

Offered in a broad array of colors — including a metalflake Chrome, the lightly textured Carbonesques, and the amazing black lacquer and abalone chips of the Raden — the Vanishing Point is the ultimate in practical pens and a pretty cool gadget besides.

Packaged in a special gift box with a bottle of Pilot ink, it's available with your choice of fine, medium, or broad 14K gold nib. Length: 555/64" capped, 629/64" posted.

$360.00 $288.00 |
For some people, there's nothing like a piston-filler. And while the classic European piston-filler is nothing to sneeze at, Pilot's smooth take on the genre, the Custom Heritage 92, deserves your attention. This is one superb pen, steeped in Pilot's long heritage of making innovative, reliable, good looking pens. Sized for the average to small hand, it's well balanced and light in weight for those extended journaling sessions, or just for taking notes in class or a meeting. As a clear demonstrator, it's also just a fun pen to use. Available with your choice of fine, medium, or broad 14K gold nib. Length: 525/64" capped, 529/32" posted. Click the magnifying glass for an enlarged view of this pen (more size info here).
$275.00 $220.00 |
The Custom 74 is an excellent pen, well balanced and easy in the hand. It's at the smaller end of the scale, but it's not small — it's a full-sized pen, long and lean and ready to record your daily life in exquistely inscribed detail. The Custom 74 is sure to attract attention as its clear or colored transparent body shows off the high-capacity multi-stroke CON70 pump converter and rhodium-plated 14K nib. Available with your choice of fine, medium, or broad nib. Fills with Pilot cartridges or the included pump converter. Length: 521/32" capped, 61/4" posted. (More size info here.)
Black Smoke $200.00 $160.00 |
Blue $200.00 $160.00 |
Clear $200.00 $160.00 |
Orange $200.00 $160.00 |
Purple $200.00 $160.00 |
One of the really cool features of the Vanishing Point is the ease with which you can change its nib: Just unscrew the pen's barrel and remove the nib unit as you would to refill it, slip in a different nib unit, and screw the pen back together. For other models, you change out the entire nib section assembly just by unscrewing it as for filling.
Vanishing Point nib units, with plain gold or rhodium-plated (silver colored) 18K gold nibs, come complete with CON50 piston converters. These nib units do not fit vintage Pilot Capless pens.
Note to Owners of Faceted Vanishing Point or Capless PensIf your pen is a faceted Namiki Vanishing Point or Pilot Capless with a squeeze converter (like the pen shown here), you should use the pen's original squeeze converter with your new nib or purchase a new CON20 squeeze converter. Piston converters do not fit properly in these older pens. The converter is the right length, but its metal collar stops against the brass collar inside the barrel's back end. This interference prevents the nib unit from retracting completely, and the pen will dry out when not in use.
As with the pens we sell, unless otherwise requested at the time of sale, we tune each new nib at no extra charge before shipment. We install the nib in a pen body, fill the pen with Waterman Blue-Black ink, and write with it on paper from the same fountain pen friendly pads we sell, adjusting as necessary to bring it up to the RichardsPens.com "factory" standard for smoothness and flow. Our clients have named this procedure "Binderizing." The result is an adjusted nib, not a customized one.
If you are unsure about stroke widths, please check our stroke width chart for illustrations of stroke sizes that our nibs produce. To do this, right-click the image at the right (Macintosh users control-click) to download the chart in PDF format (for Adobe Reader). The chart is designed to print on U.S. letter-size paper (81/2"×11"), and it should also print well on A4 paper. After you have printed the chart, find some fountain pen friendly paper and make strokes on it with your own pens for comparison.
Please note: Vanishing Point nibs are not suitable for modification to add flexibility. They are made of 18K gold, which does not respond well, and their geometry is also inappropriate.
When I test these nibs, I seat their converters completely before filling, to ensure that the nibs will flow properly in actual use and will also fit completely into the pen so that the "trap door" can close to prevent dryout. To remove the converter from a nib unit, pull firmly while twisting clockwise. (Twisting counterclockwise can unscrew the metal part of the converter from the plastic barrel.)

The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon experienced an extended hang time and precise watering schedule to maintain proper grape ripeness. The clusters were loose with small berries while the fruit was well-developed and full of varietal flavors during harvest. The summer was mild with the warm days and cool nights typically associated with Santa Barbara County. The fruit developed slowly and ripened fully. Although the Cabernet Sauvignon harvest lasted three full weeks, 90 percent of the fruit came in during the last week of September. This indicated uniformity of ripeness throughout the entire vineyard.
This is an elegant and soft-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of blackberry, cedar and eucalyptus emerge on the nose to create a wonderful symphony of black fruit and velvety tannins on the palate. This wine is drinkable now, but will mature well and increase in complexity over time.
Derived from the premium fruit, which encompasses the acclaimed vineyards of Tower Grove Vintners' Barnwood Vineyards and Laetitia Winery, we feel we have captured the unique character expressed in these popular varietals. Under the experience and skill of our dynamic winemaking team representing both California's Central Coast and France, we have crafted wines that display the best qualities of our vineyards located in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo with unmatched charm and universal appeal.
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States.

Posted By Rich Miller On November 27, 2006 @ 4:12 pm In Sacramento | Comments Disabled
Citing a strong demand for high-density data center space, RagingWire Enterprise Solutions, Inc. [1] (RES) has begun an expansion that will add 89,000 square feet to its facility in Sacramento, Calif. RES, a provider of managed hosting and IT outsourcing solutions, expects the Phase 3 build-out to be completed in the thrid quarter of 2007.
In addition to the data center expansion, RES has built its own onsite 69KV power substation. With power supplied from two separate grids, the substation is capable of 24 megawatts of capacity. The entire Phase 3 data center floor will be engineered to reach over 200 watts per square foot, according to Yatish Mishra, president and chief technology officer of RES. This level of cooling is made possible by incorporating multiple 1,200-ton chillers, a 4-foot raised floor, a 32-foot ceiling, and oversized main chilled water lines.
"We have had several top Silicon Valley companies move out of their recently built corporate data centers because they were not able to utilize high-density blade servers due to power and cooling restrictions inherent in their internal designs," said John Hoffman, CEO of RES. "RagingWire's Phase 3 expansion is specifically for these customers. We want to allow our clients the ability to expand footprint and power densities at their own pace without risk."
This is the third phase of build-out for RagingWire's 200,000 square feet Sacramento facility. The first phase consisted of 30,000 square feet of finished space, and the company added another 43,000 square feet of raised-floor space in Phase 2 in 2004. RagingWire is one of a number of data center facilities in Sacramento, which take advantage of the location outside the California earthquake zone, and moderate power pricing from the Sacramento municipal power company (SMUD).
