Hi, Everyone
I am upgrading from AutoCAD 2008 to AutoCAD 2013. I have a project that was in VB.NET 2005 that I converted to VB.NET 2010 (Express). When I compile it, I get the following error:
Error 19 Reference required to assembly 'PresentationCore, Version=126.96.36.199, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' containing the implemented interface 'System.Windows.Interop.IWin32Window'. Add one to your project.
The line causing the error is
ACApp.Application.MainWindow.Visible = False
The module imports the following:
Imports AC = Autodesk.AutoCAD
Imports ACApp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices
Imports AcadDB = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
I have tried changing the line to
ACApp.Core.Application.MainWindow.Visible = False
but that did not correct the error.
The .NET Migration Guide said that MainWindow was moved from Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application to Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Core.Applicat
I feel like I must be missing something really obvious here, since I searched the discussion board and couldn't find anyone else asking about it. What am I missing?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Did you watch the supplied video?
I don't know if this is covered in the video or not. I kind of doubt that it is, because it is not something new to 2013. It happened in at the latest 2012, maybe 2010, I don't remember. (I skipped 2011, and have not yet switched to 2013, and I had to deal with this already.)
It is very simple though, all you have to do is do what it tells you. Add a Reference to PresentationCore v4. This is not the same thing as Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Core. It is also not your accessing of the MainWindow object that requires the change per se, it is something AuoCAD is doing under the hood, which accesses the iWin32Window interface, which creates a dependancy on PresentationCore.
chiefbraincloud, thank you for the answer and the explanation. I found PresentationCore.dll and added a reference to it.
I have read a number of your posts before when I was looking for answers.
GTVic, thanks for the links. The video on .NET migration was also helpful.

Affordable Luxury at the Wailea Beach Villas
Our penthouse, the Ireland Escape, is a spacious 2000 sq. ft., 2.5 bedroom Wailea Beach Villa. Located directly above the upper pool with a spectacular garden and pool view, this unit offers a glimpse of Molokini and the ocean when the palm fronds blow.
You will find your vacation dollars go much further at the Beach Wailea Villas. Luxury outings are much more affordable when you can serve breakfast and lunch on the beautiful lanai and save money for dinners at any of the fantastic restaurants nearby. It's a great way to save without sacrificing!
You'll enjoy all the amenities of a 5-Star Resort, including:
- Front desk staff and gated security

- Attentive Pool and Beach Staff
- In-room Massage or Personal Chef on request
- Room service supplied by Longhi's Restaurant
Wailea Beach Villas set a new standard of luxury in Wailea. There are 11 acres of beautifully landscaped private grounds, nestled between Wailea Beach, the Grand Wailea and the Shops of Wailea. It is a short, tiki-lit stroll to Tommy Bahama's, Longhi's or one of the many fine restaurants at the Grand Wailea Resort. Private and secluded, yet close to everything Wailea, this exclusive gated enclave makes for an unforgettable vacation experience.
Other amenities at the Wailea Beach Villas include an adult beachfront pool, a family pool, two hot tubs, extensive waterfall gardens, a complete gym, pool table, and complete concierge services. Fresh towels are always available at the pool and the friendly staff will set up beach umbrellas and lounges on Wailea Beach.
condo rental amenities
Furnished in elegant Island Style, the feeling is serene and sophisticated. The tropical motif is accentuated with a touch of Asia.
The Ireland Escape has a master suite with sumptuous king bed and large flat-screen TV hidden away in an antique Chinese armoire, a soaking tub in the spacious bath, and a walk-in closet with safe. The second bedroom offers a queen bed, large TV and second bath. The bed and bath can be sectioned off into a private suite. The den has a queen-sized Murphy-Bed (yes, a comfortable bed!) and can be closed off for privacy. All beds have luxury linens. Other features include satellite cable and wireless broadband internet, iPod players, alarm clocks, DVD players, full complimentary phone service, and a stocked laundry room in the unit.
Sports fans and media fans will appreciate the 58 inch flat-screen in the great room. The Ireland Escape offers a complete gourmet kitchen and gas barbecue. Private chef and shopping service is available on request.

Turtle sightings are common in the Wailea/Makena area. We always recommend a trip to Molokini for snorkel or scuba, with a stop at one of the turtle "hangouts" on the way back. Whale watching tours are also great - the whale photo shown here was taken on our trip in December '08. The double breach followed by a third (missed the shot of that one!) was the talk of the day among the boat captains.

Marmot Blue Ridge
4-star: 1
3-star: 0

This is a great small pack for ultra light packing…
Source: Spring gear swap (pack was new)
This is a great small pack for ultra light packing and strong enough to hold 40+ plus if one has to. With no frame it hugs your back and stays with you, but it does get hot in Arizona heat. Waist belt is a little thin but strong and has great side straps to pack on the outside if you have to. The big top flap and the two front zippers work well to keep rain or moisture out.
- Contour shoulder straps
- 5L expandable top
- Strong fabric and stitching
- Made for people of all sizes
- Chest clip (not buckle) pops out (sewed a loop around should strap)
- Hot in summer heat
- No hydration bladder slit
Overall the pack feels great, a girl that's 5'2" to a man that's 6'2" have used it comfortably. The hip belt though thin is a strong good size belt for this pack size and the contoured shoulder straps allow it to fit a wide range of torsos.
The pack size is good for a day to three, depending on how much luxury is taken and is great for canyoneering through tight slots. Only a top loader but opens wide and really all you need for a pack this size. Since it has no frame you must know how to pack properly to distribute weight and external straps help compress pack well.
The Blue Ridge is a durable pack and can take much abuse as long as you address the chest strap issue or are able to field dress. In the past 6 years I have used it in the deserts and snowy caps of Arizona from hot and thorny Sonoran deserts to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the San Francisco peaks and in the slots of northern Paria Canyon and has done its job great.
Im currently into ultralight backpacking. While this…
Size: 2000 cu in
Number of Pockets: 4
Max. Load Carried: Can do 45 lbs I carry about 25 lbs
Height of Owner: 6' 1
Price Paid: $65
Im currently into ultralight backpacking. While this is true I am not into Ultra Ultralight . What I mean by this is that I am willing to shave weight, but not if it means compromising durability or reliability of an item.
I think that because your pack is expected to haul your gear and take the same abuse you do (it's exposed to the elements) this warrants the idea that this is one area you shouldn't compromise reliability. That's why I chose the Blue Ridge. I was in the store and really only looking for a day pack I could wear on my motorcycle if need be. I found the Blue Ridge and realized it was the perfect size pack for a weekend hike trip which is what I mostly go on. I noticed that it is lightweight though perhaps not so by true ultra light standards and weighs in at 2 lbs 7 oz.
I have to mention though the quality of fabric and the way this pack it put together well outweigh the plusses of a pack that might be 8 or 9 oz less. I honestly feel better with this pack and being able to make it to my destination and back with no issues then I would with any other ultralight pack. The peace of mind is also well worth the extra weight.
Also I couldn't believe the price. I paid $65 for this. All and all I suppose this is a moot point as Marmot doesn't seem to be making this pack any longer.
One more note...Please consider that this is a small pack. It has only 2000 cu in of space. I have been able to substantially reduce the space need and increase space gained by using Marmot's Helium and Atom bags that pack down to cantaloupe size and softball size respectively. If you don't have this ability space could be an issue for you. The price and construction of this pack make it a stellar deal. Unfortunately I think Marmot had a hard time marketing it as a day pack because it is exceptionally large as such. I still can't believe I paid only $65 for this.

After three dry years, 2010 began cool and wet, delaying budbreak and flowering. We observed a two-week delay in the growing season at our Oakville Estate. Anticipating a cooler growing season, the use of vineyard cover-crops, strategic canopy maintenance with extensive leafing and shoot pulling allowed airflow though the canopy to reduce risk of mildew. By significantly reducing crop levels, we maintained vine balance to assure even ripening for harvest. A surprise heat spike early into veraison accelerated phenolic maturation producing fruit with exceptional color and rich, supple tannins. The cooler season allowed the fruit to maintain acidity and held brix down, producing fresh wine with aromatic purity and finesse.
"A classically beautiful Oakville Cabernet, this wine has an intense opaque and violet color with tinges of ruby on its edge. Fresh aromas of black cherry, Crème de Violette, and rosewater bring thoughts of fruit followed by intense roasted spices and dark chocolate with hints of truffle. The palate is rich yet balanced with layers of texture, silk-like tannins and a long finish, with licorice and vanilla spice adding complexity to this powerful wine. The 2010 Samantha's will continue to improve for 8 to 10 years," - Drew Hendricks, MS
"The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Samantha's is all about structure, power and tension. A big, rich wine, the 2010 is endowed with serious depth and the formidable structure of the vintage. Blueberries, black currants, graphite, licorice and tar burst from the glass as the 2010 shows off its hugely appealing personality. Today, the 2010 is incredibly tense and tight, but all it needs is time for the Oakville pedigree to shine at its brightest. The Rudd team has done a great job in refocusing the estate's wines. The Samantha's appears to be the last piece in the puzzle. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030." - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #204, Dec 2012
The 2009 vintage broke a three year drought and the heavy winter rains replenished the water tables of the North Bay winegrowing region. The sunny but cool days during summer were ideal for ripening the fruit slowly. This allowed the grapes to maintain their natural acidity which results in bright aromas and a balanced structure.
"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Samantha's is a ripe, plush wine bursting with dark blackberries, spices, licorice and new leather. The aromas and flavors build effortlessly to a round, explosive finish imbued with the essence of graphite, flowers, cassis, minerals and crushed rocks. This is an especially ripe, flashy wine loaded with depth and pure energy. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.'' -Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #198, Dec 2011, 93 Pts
"Another exciting Rudd, this is plush, rich and extracted, featuring a dense mix of dark berry, black licorice, currant and tobacco-cigar box touches, firming before ending with fine-grained tannins. Best from 2013 through 2028." -James Laube, Wine Spectator, Aug 2012, 93 Pts
The 2008 represents the debut vintage of the Samantha's Cabernet Sauvignon, which is our homage to the varietal that has made Napa Valley famous. The 2008 vintage was long and dry throughout the North Bay winegrowing region. Our Oakville Estate was lucky to escape the near record frosts that impacted Napa, and was only minimally affected by the cold dry spring. While our crop was drastically down in quantity, it was up in quality. We averaged only 1.75 tons an acre, and produced our finest wine to date in this difficult vintage.
"The 2008 Samantha's is a blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with 14% Cabernet Franc and small quantities of Merlot and Petit Verdot. Normally 600-800 cases are produced from their estate. Its dense purple color is followed by abundant aromas of creme de cassis, sweet licorice, charcoal and earth. This supple, dense 2008 should drink nicely for 10-15 years." -Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #192, Dec 2010, 92 Pts

PHOENIX (AP) - A new court ruling says the Arizona Corporation Commission shouldn't have approved an electric generation project's planned use of power generated by a trash incinerator to qualify as renewable energy.
The ruling says the commission erred and abused its discretion in deciding to give renewable energy credits to the Mohave Electric Cooperative for the project planned near Surprise by the Reclamation Power Group.
Corporation Commission spokeswoman Rebecca Wilder says it may be some time before the commission decides how to respond to the ruling Tuesday by Judge Crane McClennen of Maricopa County Superior Court.
The Sierra Club argued that burning trash to produce power was not a use intended under the state's renewable energy standard, while the commission argued that its decision was entitled to deference to the court.

Lithium is a drug developed from a naturally occurring element that is often prescribed as a mood stabilizer for patients with bipolar disorder. Lithium is sold under many brand names, including Duralith, Eskalith, Lithobid, Lithotabs, Lithane, Lithizine and Lithonate. If you are taking lithium, you need to be aware of this medication's possible side effects.
Lithium Side EffectsCheck with your doctor if any of the following Lithium side effects continue or are bothersome:
More Common: Increased frequency of urination; increased thirst; nausea; trembling of hands (slight)
Less Common: Acne or skin rash; bloated feeling or pressure in the stomach; muscle twitching (slight)
Notify your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following while taking lithium:Early symptoms of lithium overdose or toxicity:
Diarrhea; drowsiness; loss of appetite; muscle weakness; nausea or vomiting; slurred speech; trembling
Late symptoms of overdose or toxicity:
Blurred vision; clumsiness or unsteadiness; confusion; convulsions (seizures); dizziness; trembling (severe)
Notify your doctor as soon as possible if you experience any of the following side effects of lithium:Less Common: Fainting; fast or slow heartbeat; irregular pulse; troubled breathing especially during hard work or exercise); unusual tiredness or weakness; weight gain (may be significant)
Rare: Blue color and pain in fingers and toes; coldness of arms and legs; dizziness; eye pain; headache; noises in the ears; vision problems
Signs of Low Thyroid Function: Dry, rough skin; hair loss; hoarseness; mental depression; sensitivity to cold; swelling of feet or lower legs; swelling of neck; unusual excitement
Symptoms of Lithium-Induced Nephrogenic Diabetes InsipidusAlthough increased thirst and increased urine output are very common side effects of lithium, it's important to tell your doctor if you have them. About 5% of patients on lithium develop lithium-induced NDI over time, which can be serious if not treated.
Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other side effects, check with your doctor.
Disclaimer: This is not intended to be all-inclusive or to replace information provided by your doctor or with the prescription from the manufacturer.

Dogfight's Lindsay Mendez and Derek Klena Join Cast of Broadway's Wicked May 28
By Andrew Gans
Lindsay Mendez and Derek Klena, who co-starred in the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway musical Dogfight, assume the roles of Elphaba and Fiyero, respectively, in the Broadway production of Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman's Wicked beginning May 28 at the Gershwin Theatre.

Klena, who is making his Broadway debut, was also recently seen in Carrie at MCC.
Adapted from the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked delves into the back story of the iconic characters from Oz. The hit musical has a score by Stephen Schwartz, a book by Winnie Holzman, direction by Mantello and musical staging by Wayne Cilento.

Tom Hanks famously delivered the line "life is like a box of chocolates." Now it appears he needs to stay away from chocolate and sugar altogether. The actor announced he's been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes on the Late Show with David Letterman. He said his doctor told him his problems with blood sugar have developed into the disease that effects more than 26 million Americans. Hanks confirmed it on Twitter today letting fans know it's not Type 1 Diabetes, that can be deadly, but he can control it with diet and medication and plans to.
The new ad for Hot Pockets is as cooky as the stuff they shove in those things. It stars Kate Upton and Snoop Lion with a cameo from Larry King. It's a music video/dream sequence set to Biz Markie's "You got What I Need," only this version is "You Got What I Eat." No wonder we're all getting diabetes.
Brody is a Starbucks barista who managed to get the phone number of LA model Piper Kennedy. He sent Kennedy a video selfie of him grinning, sensually touching his face while Drake plays in the background. It's so amazingly cringe-worthy, when it was posted on Instagram it generated a slew of parody videos all called #StarbucksDrakeHands. It's worth a search. We dare you not to be turned on.

Pan Frying Lean Fish in Sunflower Oil
Pan Frying Lean Fish in Sunflower Oil May Offer Better Health Benefits. Pan fried cod fish with sunflower oil may lead to a higher consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, according to a new study in the Journal of Food Science published by the Institute of Food Technologists. Many studies have recommended adding fish high in omega-3 fatty acids to our diet to promote optimal health. Pan frying is the most common way that fish is prepared, and it can affect the amount and the quality of the fat content in the fish.

Michigan's top prison official is taking responsibility for the 24-hour escape of a convicted killer who got as far as Indiana before being captured.
Corrections Department Director Dan Heyns told Michigan lawmakers Thursday he's certain of the root cause and circumstances surrounding the Feb. 2 escape. But he declined to share many specifics, citing an ongoing attorney general's investigation.
Heyns is speeding up the upgrade of surveillance cameras and lighting at the Ionia prison. He's also reviewing snow removal policies and the color of inmates' clothing.
Heyns says budget cuts weren't a factor and if monitoring equipment had been properly maintained, Michael Elliot would've been seen before leaving the grounds.
The 40-year-old was arrested in Indiana. A request for Elliot's return to Michigan was sent Wednesday to Indiana's governor.

A woman was killed in a crash this morning. South Bend police said it happened in the 1900 block of East Ireland Road.
Police believe 86-year-old Carmela Madar was leaving the Goodwill parking lot and pulled into the path of another vehicle around 9:30.
Police said several people were taken to the hospital, for what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries.
Once at the hospital, Madar became unresponsive and later died of possible injuries from the crash.

Ned Yost, manager of the Kansas City Royals, did something two weeks ago that very few big league managers (or even men) ever do. He admitted he needed some help. After dropping 13 of 15 games to close May and 2 of the team's first 3 games in June, Yost recognized that his lineup wasn't getting the job done. So, he went to the team's stats department and asked them to create a lineup constructed for optimal run production. After one minor tweak, the Royals trotted out a new, sabermetric-influenced lineup that looked like this:
|Alex Gordon LF
|Eric Hosmer 1B
|Salvador Perez C
|Billy Butler DH
|Mike Moustakas 3B
|Lorenzo Cain CF
|David Lough RF
|Jeff Francoeur RF
|Chris Getz 2B
|Alcides Escobar SS
Generated 6/16/2013.
The Royals scored 4 runs that night en route to a 4-1 win over the Twins. While four runs isn't exactly an enormous offense surge, it seems to be enough for the Royals on most nights. Since the lineup change, the Royals have scored four or more runs in seven of twelve games and have one each of them which puts them at 24-5 on the season. Yost has continued using his "optimized" lineup and the Royals have gone 10-2 since June 4th. This new lineup is a sign of progress in the attempt to merge statistics with the "old school" and it's resulted in numerous wins for the Royals, but it may not have such a positive effect on fantasy baseball.
There are two sides to every coin and the "optimum" lineup situation is not exempt. I believe that this lineup can mean two different things to two different kinds of owners. The operative aspect of the new lineup is the idea that optimization includes platoons and matchup plays. This idea means that there are several players who will lose at bats in the new system. A lot of fantasy value stems from opportunity so the loss of at bats is generally viewed as a detriment to a player's value. In most cases, I agree but I don't think that platoon players are completely useless.
In standard 5x5 leagues, counting stats account for four out of five offensive categories. One of the most determining variables in the valuation of these stats is opportunity. The more at bats a player receives; the more chances he has to hit a home run, drive in a runner or get on base to score a run or steal a base. The players who stand to lose the most in their current situations are Mike Moustakas, Jeff Francoeur and Chris Getz. These players saw the lion's share of playing time at third base, right field and second base, respectively. Now, they are relegated to playing mainly against pitchers of a certain handedness, thus seeing fewer at bats.
All of these players have had their struggles this season, but Moustakas has been particularly frustrating to his owners. After a season in which he hit 20 home runs and 34 doubles, he's on pace for only 10 home runs and 17 doubles this season. He may not score or drive in more than 50 runs and the recent developments in Kansas City seem to be making those numbers even less of a probability. Many owners have asked whether or not it is time to drop Moustakas. For anyone holding onto him in a mixed league of less than 20 teams, I think the time has come. He his hitting only .203 against right handers and that's .080 higher than he's hitting against lefties. Only 13% of his batted balls have been line drives and Moustakas has always hit a lot of fly balls, 17% of which haven't made it out of the infield this year. It's looking more and more like Moustakas is just not a good hitter. A poor hitter with fewer opportunities is not a guy worth owning in anything but the absolute deepest of leagues.
Francoeur wasn't really fantasy relevant in mixed leagues before the change and he continues to be Al-Only plays afterward. However, I think he might stand to gain a little bit of value with the new lineup. Francoeur will play the majority of games against left-handed pitching as he is a career .288 hitter against southpaws. That should set him up to succeed and boost his rate stats, albeit over a smaller sample size. If you own Francoeur in an AL Only league, I assume it is a fairly deep league and some spots require little more than a warm body. I think Frenchy can be an asset in such a league if you are looking for someone to fill in one of the last spots on your roster. David Lough, Francoeur's counterpart, will play against righties but has little value. He hit just under .300 over parts of seven seasons in the minors but will not get enough at bats for his small power and speed potential to be significant.
The only move I don't really understand is the idea to play Chris Getz against right handed pitchers. He's hit lefties better throughout his career and actually has a better career average than Elliot Johnson. Elliot Johnson seems to be the guy against lefthanders but the second base job may come down to riding the hot bat, rather than a true platoon. This makes it extremely difficult for fantasy owners to gage the value of these two players. Should Getz win the full time job, I would have a little bit of interest. He has the potential to steal 20+ bases with a .270 average. Johnson is a better real life ball player and I can't imagine a scenario in which he should be owned by a fantasy team.
There's been discussion about whether or not this new lineup is a win for the sabermetric community. I, for one think it is, but there are always different ways to look at any situation. The same holds true for the effects of the new lineup on the players' fantasy value. The change may mean one thing for a certain player and something entirely different for another. It's important to always fully assess the circumstances and decide how they affect your position.

Technology is becoming more important in our daily lives, especially in the education system. Fortunately for one local school, a large grant will help them pursue the future.
The E.L. Wiegand Foundation gave Holy Spirit Catholic School a $73,786 grant to improve their library space. The new expansion will feature a multi-media center that will give the students a space to do research and present assignments on a state-of-the-art projector.
An additional grant for $75,613.17 was also given to create a new science lab, featuring new projectors and tablets or laptops for each student kindergarten through eighth grade. The second grant is contingent upon the school making a matching amount and holy spirit catholic school will soon be working to raise those funds.

By Ken de la Bastide
Tribune enterprise editor
Since the first of the year the top two executives with the Greater Kokomo Economic Development Alliance has left the organization, allowing for the restructuring of the group.
Executive director Jeb Conrad resigned in January and Nora Shaykhutdinov stepped down as the Chief Operating Officer of the Alliance last week.
The Alliance was formed in 2007 and started operations in 2009 with funding from the private sector, Kokomo and Howard County tax dollars.
GKEDA consists of eight local groups to oversee economic development efforts in Kokomo and Howard County. The groups include Inventrek, Kokomo-Howard County Chamber of Commerce, Kokomo-Howard County Development Corp., Urban Enterprise Association, Kokomo Downtown Association, Howard County, Kokomo and the Kokomo/Howard County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Laura Sheets, chairman of the Alliance board, said the day to day operations of the Alliance are continuing through the experienced employees with the various agencies under the Alliance's umbrella.
An interim executive director to serve for the next six months could be named this week, she said.
A search is underway to find a CEO and the Alliance is broadening the search, she said.
Sheets said Shaykhutdinov's decision to leave came as something of a surprise.
"We wish we already had Jeb's replacement," she said. "The most important thing that the board has to do in hire the right CEO."
Sheets said she was unsure if the two positions would be combined in the future.
"This is a great opportunity," she said. "We are evaluating the best way to fulfill the mission of the organization."
Mike Stegall, CEO of Community First Bank and one of the original board members of the Alliance, said the two top officers leaving the Alliance didn't look particularly good.
"When the top person is gone, you hope the number two person will be put in that role," he said. "Maybe it was a little more than she wanted to undertake."
Stegall said once a CEO is hired by the Alliance, it will be up to that person to put the team back together. He said the organization has not been aligned as it should be.
The hope was that Conrad would have been free to work on economic development issues and that Shaykhutdinov would oversee the day to day operations, he said.
"A priority has to be getting the number one person," Stegall said. "In a prudent way we need to find the right person as quickly as we can."
Stegall said its the perfect time to restructure the Alliance and that could be combining the two positions.
"We would want some input from the new CEO on what their thoughts are on what the organization structure should be," he said.
Stegall said when the Alliance was first formed, there was a representative from each organization on the board, but that changed in recent years.
He was not concerned about the continuing day-to-day operations of the Alliance until a new CEO is hired.

This route is located to the left of QOB Pinnacle. The start is defined by a stepped ramp leading past a couple bolts and then you head onto the face. From the description I think "Enchanted Porkfist" should be to the right (it also seems a little bit harder than this line, which it should be) of this line. These are both enjoyable lines with great pockets filling the near vertical face climbing the whole way. A must do at the 'Dark Side'.

El Lago Goes Local at National Instruments
El Lago participated in the National Instruments Go Local Fair. We showcased our Tortillas and Chips handing out 5lbs of chips to over 400 National Instruments employees. Companies from all over Austin were a the fair handing out samples and selling their wares. El Lago donated a gift basket of chips and tortillas which was won by one of the employees. Some lucky visitors walked away with a package of tortillas. All were given chips.
El Lago was paired right next to Winston's Hot Pepper Sauce. This was perfect. Everyone that tried their sauce used our chips. A match made in heaven.
Some of the attendees were excited to see our Probiotic and Gluten free tortillas. Some said they were going to the HEB Grocery Managers to ask for the gluten free tortillas. In Austin if you don't see an El Lago product in your store, all you have to do is ask the Grocery Manager and he will get in touch with us. We should have it there by the end of the week.
We love doing these events so that we can get the El Lago name out there where people see it. If your company is promoting local companies at a fair let us know and we will see if we can participate.
El Lago probiotic tortillas in the HEB Healthy For You section of the bread aisle.
HEB has done a reset on the bread aisle. This has impacted the tortillas section. There are new displays for the healthier tortilla options. These resets were from January 10th to February 10th and should now be complete.
18 months ago El Lago introduced the first probiotic tortilla to the Texas market. The tortillas immediately got noticed in Edible Austin and The Austin American Statesman. Made with canola oil instead of vegetable shorting and containing probiotics, these tortillas are a healthier choice. These tortilla are in the new healthy for you sections.
El Lago's New Family Pack
Corn Table Tortillas You Love!
Over the last few years you have seen changes to the family pack. From the old yellow, red, and green logo to the green and white probiotic bag, the packaging has changed but the product was good.
Now we are packaging the family pack of corn tortillas in new bag. As you see it has our updated logo in red, white, and blue. It also sports the Kosher KSA logo. The product is still the same quality corn tortilla you are familiar with having on your table.
Gluten free and all natural corn tortillas made with love and care right here in Austin, Texas. We are proud to be an active member in the central Texas community.
Gluten free in HEB!
El Lago has Gluten Free Tortillas at the HEB at Four Points (620 & 2222) starting Monday 11/7.
This is the first HEB in the region to carry them. El Lago has tortillas in most HEBs in Austin but this is the only store with the Multigrain Gluten Free Tortilla. These tortillas have a great taste and texture when heated.
The bag is re-sealable so you only use what you need and save the rest.
If you live in the area and try them let us know what you think!
In addition to the Bunker Hill store in Houston, we now have gluten free tortillas in two Austin stores. The HEB Four Points at 620 & 2222 and HEB Farwest at 7015 Village Center Drive both have these tortillas in a cooler. If you can't find them ask the grocery manager. If you want the gluten free tortillas in your HEB ask the your grocery manager to talk with his El Lago driver to get them. If the grocery manager approves them your HEB should have them within the week.
Thanks for your support in Austin!
El Lago Gluten Free Tortillas in Natural Grocers
Natural Grocers now has El Lago Gluten Free Tortillas.
The launch at HEB has been delayed a month while they sort out there cooler issues but that doesn't mean that you can't get the ancient grain goodness of our Gluten Free tortilla.
Made with Flax, Sesame, Amaranth, Millet, Buckwheat, Brown Rice, Quinoa, Corn, Water and a hint of Citric Acid for a preservative you have a blend that taste like multigrain bread without the gluten. These are great for breakfast tacos, enchiladas or fajitas!
What people are saying?
"I have celiac and this is a great choice when I want to participate with my friends on taco night!" Gary, Kansas
"I like eating healthy and this tortilla has the flavor and wholesome goodness I am looking for" Tracy, Georgetown Texas
"I have been eating El Lago tortillas and chips for years and can't wait for the Gluten Free tortilla" BJ Austin, Texas
There are 3 Natural Grocers in Austin that we service;
Austin - Guadalupe St ~ 3901 Guadalupe St Austin, TX 78751
Austin - Arbor Walk ~ 10515 N. Mopac Expressway, Bldg. L Austin, TX 78759
Austin Area- Cedar Park ~ 1335 E Whitestone Blvd Bldg. G-17 Cedar Park, TX 78630
For more on how the tortilla is made and how it is different see other posts in this section.
El Lago Tortillas are now Kosher
"Kosher is a term originally used to denote, that which is "fit" and "proper". Most often, it is used to describe foods that are permitted to be eaten by people who observe Jewish dietary law." (Quoted from www.ksakosher.com )
El Lago Tortillas are "Fit and Proper." We are now Kosher! The Kosher Supervision of America has given El Lago Kosher certification. No ingredients have changed. We still use only non_GMO corn and flour, so you still get that great tasting El Lago tortilla.
Please enjoy El Lago Tortillas now that they are Kosher!
Gluten Free Tortillas
EL Lago now has Gluten Free Tortillas! These tortillas are not corn tortillas that are gluten free but have ancient grains as the majority of the base. The tortilla is soy free as well, which eliminates the majority of the allergens. The Gluten Free Tortilla has the flavor of multigrain bread when prepared properly but the functionality of a tortilla.
This tortilla has been years in the making! We had to make the right partnerships to bring the right mixture of ingredients for production. Making the gluten free tortillas on our corn line, which is physically separated from our flour line, insures that the product remains gluten free. We knew the consumer would want to use these tortillas in conjunction with others tortillas at meals so we wanted packaging that could be resealed after some of the tortillas are used. Finding that correct product bag was harder than thought but we have one now that allows freezing, opening and resealing. The Gluten Free Tortilla is made of only natural ingredients. We use citric acid, a naturally occurring preservative derived from fruit as the preservative for the tortilla.
We will be introducing these tortillas to the public at the Bunker Hill HEB (Houston) in July. Other restaurants in the Austin area have been given samples. As production starts and orders come in we will list the stores and restaurants that carry the Gluten Free Tortilla in our customer section.
El Lago Gluten Free Tortillas should be warmed before use. This will improve the taste and rolling of the tortilla.
How to warm Gluten Free tortillas:
To warm in the microwave:
Sandwich two tortillas between 3 dampened paper towels. Microwave for 30 seconds and serve.
To warm in the oven:
Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and place in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes.
To warm on the stovetop:
Place tortilla in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Flip every 60 seconds to toast both sides. This will bring out the flavors of the ancient grains. Or for a nice toasty flavor, turn on a gas burner and hold the tortilla over the flame with a pair of tongs. Turn it to heat the other side once the side directly over the flame starts to char.
It's Official!
El Lago is now the central Texas distributor of Charras.
What is a Charras? Is it a Tostada Shell? Is it a Chip?
Well yes is the answer. Charras are a fried or baked tortilla that can be used as a base for a Chalupa or if you put them out with salsa, they are chips!
Flavors, WOW, Jalapeno, Chapotle, and Regular Yellow Corn. The spice pops with just enough flavor to enhance your dish, not overwhelm it. Break one up over a salad and it makes for a crunchy flavorful experience. For the traditionalist we have Nopalitos or Cactus and Linseed oil shells. These are the true El Real Sabor Mexicano or Real flavor of Mexico.
For the healthy conscious we have a baked or Horneadas shells. These take the frying out of the product so that unnecessary oil is not added. They are a lighter tostada. We also have the Casera, a home like fried thicker tostada.
With all these Charras it is difficult to make a choice. I suggest take one type home a week until you find your favorite
El Lago at UT games
UT hasn't had the best season this year but El Lago has been to every home game with their Tortillas and Chips supporting UT. The Loco Tailgaters have been doing it up at games since 1995 and they know how to do it right! We are happy to support the Loco Tailgaters and their pursuit to support UT students through awarded scholarships
Each week these guys make the game special, like supporting parents weekend for the Pom Squad or the Orange and White groups
You can see them at www.locotailgaters.com and you can get our Chips and Tortillas at any of your nearby stores.
What goes on in our Factory?
Do you know that all of our corn tortillas and chips are gluten free? We actually have a wall that separates our flour lines from our corn lines to ensure that there is never any cross contamination of our gluten free line. We never move equipment from one side to the other; it is like we have two factories.
We run our flour line 4 days a week and our corn line 5 days a week. We run anywhere from 6 to 12 hours shifts but have more capacity if needed. We are planning on growing the tortilla business so we will eventually use that capacity.
So when you pick up a package of El Lago corn tortillas you will know that we have taken every precaution to ensure that they are gluten free.

A Lee County corrections deputy turned himself in to his coworkers Friday morning on fraud and perjury charges.
On Friday, July 26, at around 1 a.m., deputy Jeremy Shaffer, assigned to the Corrections Bureau of the Lee County Sheriff's Office, surrendered at the jail.
Shaffer had arranged to turn himself in on a warrant issued Thursday by the State Attorney's Office.
Shaffer was placed on leave in April of 2013, when a criminal investigation was launched after detectives received information he had possibly assisted someone in a fraudulent scheme in August and September of 2010.
He was also accused of knowingly providing a false statement in a sworn deposition last September.
Shaffer is charged with a second degree felony for structuring transactions to evade reporting in excess of $20,000 and a third degree felony for perjury in an official proceeding.
The deputy has been placed on administrative leave without pay, pending the outcome of an Internal Affairs Investigation.
Shaffer was hired in February, 2007. His most recent assignment was driving inmates around the state for the sheriff's office.
"Any time any of our people do anything illegal or immoral or inappropriate, it's embarrassing. And while it's not reflective of the entire agency, it does reflect poorly on the agency," said sheriff Mike Scott.
Shaffer's attorney called the charges a sham.
"Mr. Shaffer did nothing wrong or illegal. These charges are a result of his wife's ex-husband's efforts to overturn a judgment in his divorce case," said attorney Wilbur Smith.
Smith says the ex-husband has a connection to the sheriff's office. Scott would not comment on that claim.
Shaffer has been processed and released on $6,500 bail.

OK, so, a couple caveats to this: -This is an estimation, and I am a journalist, so math's not my thing. But this should be pretty close to accurate. -This does not include minimum pledges, which means this is a very conservative estimate. -We have 56 pledgers, and that only counts the people who announced their pledge in the comments of the original story. That's pretty awesome. -We have 50 different types of prop bets, so in a way I love you guys, and in a way I hate you guys. -It is not too late to pledge. So, that's pretty darn awesome. Go #TremendousStubble.
This is an official total from MU Health. This isn't, like, some number I made up. This actually happened. More than a 21% increase over last year's donation. In two years, Rock M Nation has donated $9,448.42 to the MU Children's Hospital. Let that soak into your mind-grapes for a moment. You guys are my freakin' heroes. And yes, we're in touch with the MU Children's Hospital about naming something. I love you.
Bill's dropping the check off on Monday. You guys are my freakin' heroes.
UPDATE (Friday, 1:50pm Central): Been in touch with the wonderful MU Health people, and we're beginning the donation process (getting the money from PayPal to them, basically). I'll keep you guys...
A few things of note: -Again, this is all based on everyone coming through on their pledges. Because if you don't come through on your pledge, it's court-admissible proof that you hate children. -This is only reflective of pledges made in the comments of the original post, not on Twitter or in the cockles of your souls. -This doesn't reflect "minimum" donations. For example, if you pledged "$5 per win, with a minimum donation of $50," we're only counting the $5 per win. -The prop bet scoreboard reads thusly: 6 wins 9 home runs An appearance in the Final Eight 2 shutouts 2 run-rule victories 48 strikeouts by Chelsea Thomas or Kristin Nottelman 6 Mizzou walks in the fifth inning (damn it, Boom) 41 strikeouts by Chelsea Thomas 15 extra-base hits Amazing. Simply amazing. And if you haven't pledged, there's still time! (Oh, and you can embiggen the photo by clicking here)
$2,510.63The projected total donation to the MU Children's Hospital, so far. A few important notes on this number: -Obviously, this is all based on you guys living up to your promises. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, EVERYONE. -This is only reflective of pledges pledged in the comments, and not on Twitter or in your own hearts. -This does not include minimum donations (for example, if you pledged $5 a game with a $50 minimum...I'm only counting the $5 a game for now). -It includes the following occurrences of prop bets: 4 wins 7 home runs 1 shutout 2 run-rule wins 26 Chelsea Thomas or Kristin Nottelman strikeouts 2 Mizzou walks in the 5th inning of games (damn it, Boom) 19 Chelsea Thomas strikeouts 13 extra base hits So...yeah, you guys are freakin' awesome. And there's still time to pledge if you haven't!

|In this episode we explore green action in Boston in honor of Earth Day. On this show explore what Bostonians are doing to go green and what challenges they face-- from the hubway bike system to buildings that create their own energy. First we take a look at the politics of the environment. To make real change, it's essential for0 lawmakers to be involved. But what effect does that have on community efforts to go green? We examine the relationship between environmental change and the local government, and look into greenwashing-- a marketing strategy used by companies to appear environmentally friendly even when they're not. We speak with local businesses and advocates to find out the presence of greenwashing in Boston and what local companies can actually do to go green. Buildings that create their own energy are called energy positive-- or e-plus buildings and they actually exist here in Boston. We discover the development of the buildings and their effect on the community. Later, we discuss greening your commute. The Hubway-- Boston's bike sharing program, was completed this month. The system is helping commuters cut down on costs and the city cut down on pollution. We hear about the strides Boston's biking community has made and how our system compares to others.

Aug. 29--As furniture makers move to phase out toxic, ineffective flame retardants, the chemical industry is waging an aggressive last-ditch campaign to preserve a lucrative market that reaches into virtually every American home.
One of the world's leading manufacturers of flame retardants is suing California to block a new flammability standard that starting next year will allow furniture manufacturers to eliminate the chemicals from new upholstered sofas and chairs sold nationwide. The lawsuit, scheduled to be argued Friday in a Sacramento courtroom, is backed by the American Chemistry Council, the industry's chief trade group.

In the new issue of NFPA Journal®, President Jim Shannon said the Association will focus on the leading causes of home fires, including cooking. "We also need to continue to push hard for home fire sprinklers. That's still a large priority for NFPA, and we plan to work very aggressively in 2014 on our residential sprinkler initiative," he said.
The recall involves Amana, Century, Comfort-Aire, Goodman and York International-branded Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps. The units are rated 230/208 volt, 3.5 kW and are most often installed in walls of hotels, motels, apartment buildings and commercial spaces to provide room climate control. The recalled units are beige with serial numbers ranging from 0701009633 through 0804272329. The brand name is located on the unit's front cover. The serial number is located on the control board plate found by lifting the unit's front cover.
A series of fire tests were conducted to characterize the potential hazard from ignition of an upholstered chair. The particular chair was selected as part of a fire investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
Heat release rate was determined as a function of time from ignition using the oxygen depletion principle. Two tests were conducted with the chairs placed in the open under large calorimeters.
The third test was conducted with the chair located in a room. Peak heat release rates obtained during the tests ranged from approximately 1 MW to 2.5 MW.

Female members of the Armed Services will be allowed to fight in front line combat positions that were previously off limits.
The official announcement is expected from Pentagon chief Leon Panetta on Thursday.
Good Day NY asked two retired members of the army to weigh in, Col. Jeanette McMahon (US Army Ret) and Major Mike Lyons (U.S. Army Ret.)
McMahon and Lyons were classmates at West Point.
"It provides a lot of opportunities for them that didn't exist before," said McMahon.
"The big picture is this: the primary mission of the military is to fight the nation's wars and win. There will be a hard look at what it means to be an infantryman. I think it's going to ensure that the bar is not going to be lowered. We just have to be sure that from a physical stamina perspective a woman can do what a man does," said Lyons.

Fox News and other conservative media outlets have amplified Rep. Darrell Issa's (R-CA) misleading claim that Democrats "excuse[d] themselves" from testimony given by the families of the victims of the Benghazi attack. In fact, over the course of the hearing, members of both parties were in and out of the proceedings.
Rep. Issa posted a tweet claiming that Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee left the hearing room as Patricia Smith and Charles Woods testified about their sons, Sean Smith and Charles Woods, who were killed in Benghazi.
Right-wing media are subverting Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' message that immigrants should have access to affordable health care, claiming her purpose is to inflate "Obamacare enrollment." But in doing so, they ignore the real human and economic costs to denying immigrants affordable health insurance.
At an event sponsored by a Latino community service group, Sebelius explained that undocumented immigrants who would be newly legalized under the Senate immigration reform bill would not be able to apply for subsidies to purchase health insurance, or have access to the health care exchanges and the expanded Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act. She went on to say that this "is, frankly, why -- another very keen reason why we need comprehensive immigration reform." Sebelius added:
SEBELIUS: We won't fix the immigration system, unfortunately, through the health care bill, but I think having the immigration bill that passed the Senate, pass the House, would be a huge step. In the meantime, I would say for those undocumented residents, we have continued access to the community health centers and an expanded footprint in the community health centers.
A number of right-wing sites, including CNSNews, Breitbart.com, and HotAir, highlighted Sebelius' comments using headlines like, "Sebelius: Pass Immigration Bill to Boost Obamacare Enrollment," but ignored the core of her message.
Indeed, providing undocumented immigrants with a way to afford health insurance makes economic sense, which would address the health care costs right-wing media are always warning about.
According to an October 2012 report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, nearly 48 million people under 65 were uninsured in 2011. In a 2011 study, the Urban Institute estimated that about 14.6 percent, or almost 7 million, of the uninsured are undocumented immigrants. The study warned that without policy actions, the share of that population would grow and impose extra costs on state governments and hospitals:
If the reform law leads any of these [small] firms [that employ undocumented immigrants] to drop the coverage they offer, or if the exchange does a superior job of screening based on immigration status, undocumented immigrants could see further deterioration in their already low rates of private coverage.
The exclusions in the Affordable Care Act may also serve as a barrier to members of undocumented immigrants' families who might otherwise be eligible for one of the coverage options. For example, incentives to avoid enrolling native-born children with undocumented immigrant parents in Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program may also reduce coverage in the exchanges for families containing one or more undocumented immigrants.
As health reform unfolds, and undocumented immigrants emerge as an even larger share of the uninsured population, it is likely that they will become a more prominent component of safety-net health care providers' client base. This could mean that such providers will feel financial stress, especially in light of the Affordable Care Act's cuts to Medicaid and Medicare disproportionate-share hospital payments.
Conservative media outlets pushed at least eleven misleading attacks on President Obama's energy policies that have become talking points used by Mitt Romney's campaign. The conservative media bubble has largely prevented voters from hearing the facts about clean energy programs, fossil fuel production and environmental regulation under the Obama administration.
Right-wing media figures are heaping praise on Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) budget plan, with one Fox host calling Ryan "Mr. Budget." In fact, Ryan's budget plan would harm many Americans: It increases taxes on the poor while cutting them for the wealthy, drastically cuts Medicaid and other needed safety net programs, and would cost millions of jobs by reducing federal spending during a still-weak economy.
Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and other conservative outlets are falsely claiming that President Obama, while discussing his own economic policies, said "we tried our plan -- and it worked." This quote has been taken out of context and distorted. Obama was referring to economic policies during the Clinton administration that taxed high income earners at a higher rate than they are currently charged. When Obama said "it worked," he was referring to low unemployment and strong economic growth when these rates were higher. Obama has advocated a return to Clinton-era tax rates for high income earners.
Slate's Dave Weigel, who described conservatives' editing of Obama's comments as "insanely misleading," points to Obama's full quote:
OBAMA: I'm running because I believe you can't reduce the deficit -- which is a serious problem, we've got to deal with it -- but we can't reduce it without asking folks like me who have been incredibly blessed to give up the tax cuts that we've been getting for a decade. (Applause.) I'll cut out government spending that's not working, that we can't afford, but I'm also going to ask anybody making over $250,000 a year to go back to the tax rates they were paying under Bill Clinton, back when our economy created 23 million new jobs -- (applause) -- the biggest budget surplus in history and everybody did well.
Just like we've tried their plan, we tried our plan -- and it worked. That's the difference. (Applause.) That's the choice in this election. That's why I'm running for a second term.
In order to argue that Obama is out of touch on economic issues -- a message that is nearly identical to the one pushed by Romney's campaign -- conservative media figures have spent the week removing all of the context from Obama's comments and juxtaposing them with the current high unemployment rate.
Following the announced bankruptcy of Abound Solar, which borrowed about $70 million against a $400 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy, the Associated Press is giving oxygen to attacks from Republicans saying the clean energy program shows the Obama administration "wasting taxpayer dollars." While passing along GOP talking points, AP forgot to report these key facts:
1. Abound Solar was one of the few higher-risk loan guarantees. Over 87 percent of the funds for the Department of Energy's 1705 loan guarantee program went to low-risk power generation projects, which are required to secure contracts with power purchasers before receiving a loan guarantee, virtually eliminating the risk of default. Like Solyndra, Abound Solar built solar panels and struggled to compete with Chinese manufacturers.
2. Congress set aside $2.47 billion to cover defaults. For a loan guarantee, the DOE is only on the hook if the company defaults on the loan, and the DOE is not able to recover the funds during the bankruptcy process. Even if all of the higher-risk (non-generation) projects defaulted on the full amount of their loan guarantees and "no assets were to be recovered, the DOE would still have $446 million remaining to cover additional project losses," according to a Bloomberg Government analysis. Here is a chart comparing the amount that Congress budgeted for the 1705 program versus the current losses:
Current losses were measured as $9 million for Beacon Power, $535 million for Solyndra and $60 million for Abound Solar. *Graphic has been updated.
3. Four Indiana Republicans pressed the Energy Department to support Abound. In addition to the four Indiana Republican Congressmen who urged DOE to grant the loan guarantee to Abound, Mitch Daniels supported a tax credit for the company and two major Republican donors were Abound investors.
Right-wing media are touting a Washington Post Fact Checker article alleging that the Obama campaign "failed to make its case" in a new ad claiming that Romney "shipped jobs" overseas. But a different Post article pointing to data from the Securities and Exchange Commission has affirmed that Bain Capital, with Romney as head, "owned companies that were pioneers in the practice of shipping work from the United States to overseas."
After President Obama's historic announcement that he is in favor of marriage equality, many in the right-wing media are refusing to debate the substance of same-sex marriage. Instead, they are casting about for ways to attack Obama's position on marriage that ignore the actual debate.
A New York Times/Bay Citizen article cherry-picked statistics from a Brookings Institution report and reportedly misrepresented interviews to call the goal of creating 5 million green jobs in 10 years a "pipe dream." Conservative media have seized upon the Times article to claim that "even" the "left" agrees that investment in green jobs is a "a waste of money and time."
Following reports that President Obama and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) had a "blow up" while negotiating solutions to the default crisis, in which Cantor accused Obama of "abruptly walking out" of the talks, right-wing media have attacked Obama as a "petulant child" for allegedly doing so. However, in June, right-wing media praised Cantor and Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) for walking out of default crisis negotiations led by Vice President Joe Biden.
Hope springs eternal. Despite more than a year of fruitless digging, the right-wing media can't let go of their hope that Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan will be disqualified from hearing cases about the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.
Recently, conservative media have been hyping letters from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) as well as 49 other congressional Republicans seeking documents to determine if Kagan was involved with health care litigation during her time as solicitor general (the position she held immediately before being appointed to the Supreme Court).
Conservative media don't bother hiding the reasons for hoping that Kagan must be recused. As Judicial Watch head Tom Fitton wrote on BigGovernment.com, "The U.S. Supreme Court will ultimately settle the issue regarding whether or not Obama's socialist healthcare overhaul will be the law of the land. Everyone knows it. And if Elena Kagan is forced to recuse herself from hearing the case that will be one fewer dependably liberal vote on the Supreme Court for Obamacare."
In addition to Fitton's post on BigGovernment.com, HotAir.com's Ed Morrissey breathlessly hyped the 49 House members' letter, asking, "Did Elena Kagan mislead the Senate Judiciary Committee during her confirmation hearing when answering questions about her level of involvement in ObamaCare?" The Washington Times also hyped the same letter, as did Newsmax. And National Review Online blogger Carrie Severino and Glenn Beck's website TheBlaze.com hyped both the 49 House members' letter and Smith's letter.
But CNS News may take the cake for the most overwrought reaction. CNS reported that Smith had begun an "investigation" into whether Kagan had been involved in health care litigation as solicitor general. It subsequently had to append an "editor's note" to the article explaining that the House Judiciary Committee "requested a correction of the story" because Smith had not launched a "formal investigation" but had merely made a "request for addition information."
CNS's overreaction to Smith's letter to the Justice Department epitomizes the right-wing's campaign to have Kagan recuse herself from health care litigation. The right-wing media keeps demanding further inquiry into the issue of whether Kagan should recuse herself. The additional information shows that there is no reason for Kagan to recuse herself. But the right-wing media claims that all it needs is a little more information, and it will become clear that Kagan did recuse herself.
Below the fold is a brief recap of the right-wing media's recusal campaign so far.
Right-wing media are baselessly attacking the Obama administration by falsely conflating Project Gunrunner, a program of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) that was begun under President Bush, and Operation Fast and Furious, a controversial initiative undertaken by Phoenix's Gunrunner group in which agents knowingly allowed guns to be trafficked across the border to Mexico.
The gall of this right-wing media is literally quite astounding at times.
Following weeks of intense racially charged attacks on President Obama and their nonstop promotion of the birther myth, conservative media are today incensed at what Donald Trump had to endure at Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner. They complain that "Trump didn't get to respond" to the "attack[s]" by the "two antagonists" -- presumably, President Obama and SNL's Seth Meyers.
Jim Hoft's Gateway Pundit blog blared: "Boorish Obama Attacks Trump Repeatedly at Media Dinner While He Is Sitting in the Room." The post that followed read:
It was beat up on Trump night...
It took Obama about 10 seconds before he attacked Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner Saturday night. Of course, Donald Trump was sitting in the room and did not have an opportunity to respond.
How sad... He also attacked FOX News.
Allahpundit at HotAir.com congratulated Trump for showing up at all "knowing what was in store." He continued:
[B]ut to his credit, he turned out and took his lumps -- stone-faced, as the crowd around him roared. It was kind of him to provide a designated target for the evening: The days of comics speaking hijinks-y truth to power by ripping on the president to his face a la Colbert and Bush ended abruptly in January 2009, of course.
Allahpundit went on to criticize Meyers' "nasty shot at O's opponents."
Ace at the Ace of Spades blog wrote:
I thought, dumbly I guess, that Trump would actually get to go to the dais and speak. Wouldn't that make it more interesting? You know the guy is going to get ripped; wouldn't it be more interesting to let him give the "rebuttal" as they do in a roast?
I'm not even talking about fairness -- I'm talking about entertainment value, which this yearly paean to Obama's aweomeness could surely use.
So you have two antagonists here and you could have a bit of a show but no, of course you set it up so it's Obama goofing on Trump, and then Seth Meyers goofing on Trump, and the liberal audience galing in (somewhat forced, I-agree-with-you-so-I'm-laughing laughter at Trump, and Trump just sitting there.
Trump didn't get to respond until a phone call on Fox & Friends.
Not sure why Trump went under those circumstances.
Since Glenn Beck announced he would be ending his daily show with Fox News, conservative bloggers have reacted with a mixture of sorrow, skepticism, and, of course, conspiracy theories about why his show is ending.
The right-wing media have seized on an eight-second video clip of Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) to claim he called the Constitution "silly." In fact, McDermott was criticizing Republicans for not focusing on "job creation" in favor of doing "silly" things like reading the Constitution on the House floor.
