Miley Cyrus Music Video Fashion: The Inside Dish!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
For her controversial "Can't Be Tamed" music video, Miley Cyrus did not turn into a seductive, provocative, unusual peacock overnight. Far from it.
A lot of work went into the transformation, as celebrity makeup artist Denika Bedrossian dishes: "Our inspiration for the video was exotic endangered birds breaking out of their cages; lots of sexy, dark, exotic feathers."
This included the use of a $25,000 corset on Miley's frame, along with a heavy focus on her eyes. Bedrossian says she applied lashes with real feather tips to Cyrus' peepers - because the singer's eyes are clearly what viewers of this racy video would focus on.
Can Miley Cyrus be tamed? Heck no! Can you purchase this star's eccentric look? Oh yes, at the THG Style Store!
Bedrossian may be the expert, but she emphasizes that Miley was involved in the entire process: "We all collaborated together to create a gothic, edgy, yet feminine bird. She wanted to be a part of every detail."
Watch Cyrus talk about the video and her style choices in the video below.

hi my name and Helton got 14 anosso not agree with something you flirt with this bastard'm your fan ilove you
I think it's funny that some people are actually shocked and surprised by this video, and that she turned in to another media sex kitten. I'm pretty sure if any 17 year old girl was given the chance, she'd do the exact same thing. She's 17, she's pretty much sexually devleoped, and biologically that's pretty much taking precedence over any previous beliefs.
wow miley talk bout being weird and acting like an idiot. damm i really thought you could do better
What's funny is that Miley, in an interview discussing this video, said she didn't want to do the typical, stand there and look sexy thing. I find that hilarious. So what does miley do? She dons a corset and does the lie-in bed-sexy thing. Wow, how original and fresh!! Hey, Miley's a pretty girl. She can sing somewhat. But seriously, she needs an education. I mean with all her money and all her people, they need to help not look sooo stupid all of the time. She's 17. Why can't she just be 17. Why the overtly sexual 17 going on 25 thing? I'm not saying she has to be squeeky clean. I get she wants to break free from Disney and Hannah Montana. She's growing up. She wants to express herself. Blah, blah, blah. My issue with this video is that she appear to be trying too hard to be sexy, edgy and hip. It's just not working. It appears to resemble a child's idea of what's sexy. It comes off as pretensious and clumsy. Sorry it's true.
i agree with @Hollywood.......criticisms are very essential (in life and in her field of profession).....but those criticisms should not cross the line.....this line is determined by a variety of factors.......here, the most important factors r that miley is only 17 and miley is an international superstar......so all criticisms must be in a suitable way that keeps in mind these factors..... it has been a very long time since people like @Rhonni has commented.....his/her comments do show that (s)he is not a fan of miley......yet, he maintains a level of decency that is seldom seen in this site......most people tend to use words that r not only insulting, but r also deeply hurting.......and i wonder how they can use such words publicly, and even direct them at a girl of minor age publicly......
@Nickjofan: You wanted to know who doesn't agree with what you say here? How about a list? ME,@Mr X,@Sophie,@Xtinafan,and etc...If you want more,that's not a problem. There are a whole bunch of us who DON'T agree with you. And never will...All you're doing is proving my point from my May 9th entry here--so thanks for that.(that's sarcasm by the way,just in case you didn't catch it). You and all the ridiculous one's like you should take some serious time to reflect on the way you think--cause it is malfunctioning like you wouldn't Believe...Miley isn't the one in need of a change---it's you and the one's like you...Later;Hollywood
I need to agree this pidufull from the pidufull poeple ok

Karaoke Challenge Me!
So…I'm bored. Suggest a song for me to learn to sing (odds are I don't know it) and I'll record a video of me singing it via Wii Karaoke. I'll take submissions until August 25th and pick one at random (or whichever I can actually find on the karaoke system).
If no one responds to my challenge, I'll just find a random song to sing (maybe suggested by my teenage cousins).

Anonymous said: I am intersex (complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, so I have no problems passing as a cis woman). However, I am intersex, NOT cis, even if I do happen to have a condition that makes it so most people assume I am a cis woman.
I want to be out of the closet about it, but I can't. You see, my little sister has the same condition and has begged me not to come out about it since she isn't ready.
I get so mad when people just assume I am cis and I'm frustrated about life. Anyway, I just wanted to vent to someone and see if you had any thoughts. Thank you for your blog, I love it.
one of your followers
I don't have an answer really other than this.
I didn't know I was intersex. I was raised to believe I was a straight guy. I totally used my cis privilege. As a male, I used my cis voice to advocate for women's access to reporting places and birth control and such because my male voice was louder. As a straight person, I used my cis voice to advocate for safe spaces and equal rights because my straight voice was louder. Now I've lost all that.
Sometimes when I say I'm intersex people ask for my pronouns which really drives me nuts. It's all she/her and then suddenly my cis female privilege is gone. More often than that is that people have seen me transition and then I say I'm intersex and get put in to a cis role.
Then what happens when I finally get around to getting tested to see what I really am? If it comes back XX, am I cis then? Was I not cis before? What if it comes back that I'm a mosaic? Am I half cis?
It's cool to vent because there's just no answer for us. Really the other option is trans, and that's not even close. I hate that I say I'm intersex and people ask "When's the surgery?" and anymore I just answer with "30 years ago! When's yours?" because I'm just so over the assumption that me being not cis means I'm transgender. I didn't really pick that. I just took a pill and my body decided to give me a nice ass and some perky tits.
Sorry to kinda answer your vent with another vent but I really don't have an answer.

After two weeks of gains the stock market index resumed its decline as none of the traded stocks gained in the week's three sessions.
Two financial firms held together more than half of the brokerage market share in the stock exchange last year as the volume of trading fell 82 percent on an annual basis, according to data published by the DSE.
The level of trading slowed somewhat at the Damascus Securities Exchange this week with average prices increasing on a weekly basis.
Nama, a listed agro-food company, witnessed a 5 percent annual decline in its 2012 revenues, although it still managed to post a profit.
The Damascus stock market index continued to rise for the second week running on the back of rising demand for banking stocks.
A ten percent surge in the price of the SIIB stock enabled the main index of the Syrian securities exchange to rise last week for the first time in almost six months.
Syria's stock market began the year as it closed last, with an uninterrupted decline in prices.
Bank Al-Sharq has announced the second resignation in as many months of one of its directors.
Trading in banking stocks helped increase the total volume of trading in the Damascus Securities Exchange last week to levels not seen since March.
Stocks continued to lose ground in the Damascus Securities Exchange over the week while trading volumes reached SYP 6.1 million.

Oh my lord.
Is there ANY character who doesnt get an innocent...?? (Apart from the people who died on the ship etc...)
Chaoji... how dare you consider letting Allen fall... >=[
Oh my lord.
Is there ANY character who doesnt get an innocent...?? (Apart from the people who died on the ship etc...)
Chaoji... how dare you consider letting Allen fall... >=[
Good, good ! I think I start to like Chaoji more and more...
..and were was it said his bracelet broke so he can't use them anymore ?
The others were speechless - well, someone (Lavi, I think) said something with a sweatdrop. Allen just has a... different reaction, I suppose.
Most characters don't have Innocence - any of the Asia branch people, Komui, Reever, Anita, the Noah, etc. It's just that we've been focusing on the Exorcists because a) our main characters are Exorcists and b) they're just more interesting since they're involved in the action.
His bracelets didn't break, Kolox. It just looked like it in the raw.
I think it was Linalee who said the bubble with the sweatdrops. Also it kind of makes sense to why Linalee was placed on the Cross team (She was so cute at that panel where she was hugging Cross xD)
forgot to add, if they gots the Ark now, they basically have the power to go anywhere in the world. (We may have a Christmas special after all...)
Lenalee said the one about Allen not misunderstanding, and then yelled at Cross. Someone else said something about late - being too late? - I can't really translate it, but it probably isn't Allen, Lenalee, or Cross.
I wonder why Komui was saying "welcome back" at the end...? Is that through video?
Nah, its not through video, I guess they used the ark to travel to HQ.
That seems kind of weird to me. Actually, the entire chapter seemed to be a bit off when it came to time - for one, why wasn't the actual meeting between the two groups of Exorcists shown? It took me ages to figure out that it was done offscreen (er, off-chapter? o_o), since Krory is in the hands of Lenalee and Cross (I thought Allen had just randomly appeared in the middle of the other three).
Well if you think about it, the chapter was kind of rushed, it didn't show how the outside exorcists met with the Ark exorcists, or how the "gates" to other places showed up. But meh, lets leave it be. the Ark arc is finally finished!
And it didn't show them leaving the Asia branch for the HQ - they barely were there at all, and for like... no reason. I guess Hoshino REALLY wanted this to end. xD Maybe if we get more explanations of IMPORTANT things...
Also, two notes:
1) Re-read a bunch of previous chapters. Why isn't Allen talking about not being human or saving the akuma anymore?! And what was up with Lenalee copying Anita's attitude towards Cross, except for substituting Allen (seriously - Anita said something about how she didn't want to believe Cross was dead, and it was only after that when Lenalee started to openly think the same about Allen) - um... well, let's just say that this Ark screwed up some character interactions, from what it seems. In an illogical way, not necessarily a bad one~
2) I bought some trading cards for the sake of being a fangirl, and whoever makes those has no fashion sense. Poor Allen. T_T
^There are trading cards?! Wow.
Meh, at least we're getting some progress in the AxL pairing. Also, if I was Hoshino, I'll definitely want this to end already. I mean the Ark arc was kept hanging when she took a break (for uncontrolled reasons) and besides we need some plot forwarding to do. We need answers to all the questions that came up during the break.

Notre Dame Football
The Fighting Irish held their second practice in the Loftus Center yesterday. While no media was present, the Fighting Irish Digital Media posted highlights of yesterday's practice.
Although it is difficult to take away much for these videos, a few things can be noticed from this one.
First, Sophomore Running Back Greg Bryant clearly looks healthy and explosive. It would not be surprising if he was the best Running Back by the end of the 2014 season.
Second, Junior Cornerback Matthias Farley appears to be struggling at his new position. The two clips of him are ones in which he is beaten badly. It is early in practice. Additionally, he could have made every other play in practice but those clips just were not shown.
Third, Junior Outside Linebacker Romeo Okwara and Senior Outside Linebacker Ishaq Williams appear to be working exclusively with the Defensive Line. They can be seen going against Offensive Tackles in one-on-one drills.
Fourth, Sophomore Wide Receiver Will Fuller broke free twice one deep balls for touchdowns. Based on his performances last year, he will be an excellent deep threat going forward.
Fifth, Senior Defensive End Anthony Rabasa applied pressure to Golson twice and came up with the sack in one clip. Will he finally be able to make his way off the bench and on to the field?

David Arquette wins gold

Chad Smart
@chadsmart & @my123cents on Twitter
I�m guessing a lot of
wrestling fans won�t agree with the title of this blog but I think there may be
some truth in saying The Rock winning the WWE title was akin to David Arquette
winning the WCW title. I hadn�t thought about it until I saw a comment on a message
board. Since then I�m been mulling this concept around trying to figure out how
to properly present this hypothesis.
The first reaction to refute
this claim would be to point out The Rock was a professional wrestler and had a
successful seven year WWE career before heading off to the greener pastures of
Hollywood. In those seven years, Rocky was a 10-time World Champion as well as
multi-time Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion. This is all true but it was
also ten years ago. <>>
In the last nine years, The
Rock has five times as many movies under his belt as he does wrestling matches
(15-3). The current WWE target
audience probably knows Dwayne Johnson as the Tooth Fairy more than they know
him as The Rock. So in that regard, I think a comparison between The Rock and
David Arquette is justifiable. <>>
The Rock wins gold too
Photo courtesy: WWE
When you consider The Rock
is currently known more for being an actor instead of a wrestler then you can
look at the similarities between his title win and Arquette�s win. Both wins
were done, at least according to my theory, as a way to garner mainstream
publicity. Neither win was the right decision when it comes to the story being
told in the ring. If the Rock loses the WWE Title to John Cena (a nine time WWE
Champion) at Wrestlemania 29 as many speculate will happen, then The Rock will
merely be a transitional champion to get WWE back to the status quo of having
John Cena on top. <>>
Again, I realize The Rock
was a successful wrestler. I do not want to take away from his accomplishments
or imply he doesn�t have the talent to be WWE Champion. All I�m saying is WWE
took an actor and put their most prestigious title around his waist as a way of
getting the mainstream media to promote WWE for a couple of months. WCW put
their prestigious title on an actor in hopes of getting people to talk about
WCW. While the persons may be different, the actions are the same. <>>

A couple of shots from last nights meetup. People braved the cold and the snow to get stuff done.
Since confirming a date for the second London Nightowls event last week we've received a number of emails asking us for more info on the idea behind Nightowls and what goes on at our meetups.
So here goes..
The idea behind nightowls is to provide a free space where people can get together to work on their own side projects out of normal working hours.
Whilst most people who attend are typically in the web industry, designers, coders etc, the meetup really suits itself to anyone who simply has too much to do for the standard 9-5 working day and is looking for somewhere to come to get together with other busy people working on their own projects.
Nightowls was founded in April 2010 in New York when founders Amber Lambke and Allan Grinshtein tweeted their desire to find somewhere they could work late into the night other than the local coffee shop, somewhere they could meet new people and be more productive.
The Nightowl concept quickly took off in cities around the world, including Stockholm, Melbourne, Tel Aviv, San Francisco and many more places.
In London Sarah Longworth and Mark Stephens came across the idea and looked for a meetup happening in London. When they discovered that one didn't yet exist, they decided to bring Nightowls to the city.
The first London Nightowls was held in September 2010 at the fantastic coworking space of eOffice in Soho and attendees included a mix of entrepreneurs, journalists, web designers, developers, and bloggers amongst others.
The BBC found out about our meetup via twitter too, and came along to meet us and do an interview about the late night co-working concept for the BBC 5 live out-riders show.
The atmosphere at a Nightowls meet up is very friendly and relaxed. People are requested to bring along their own laptops and work equipment but wifi is provided by our host along with much needed tea and coffee. As we work into the small hours we also chip together and order in some late night snacks.
The advantages of co-working are numerous. Many people benefit from the collaborative aspect, looking to bounce ideas of other people and get fresh new input into their projects. For others, especially people such as freelancers who may work at home or don't work alongside others, often coming into a new environment and getting a chance of scene can prove extremely valuable.
Whether you are looking to get ideas and input on your project from others or if you prefer to just get your headphones on and focus on your work without distraction, it's completely up to you how you want to use the time at a Nightowls event.
If you would like to book a place at our next meetup on December 1st beginning at 7pm please send an email to email@example.com beforehand to reserve your place.
We look forward to seeing you there!
The next London Nightowls meetup will be held on 01 December 2010 at 7.00pm.
We are meeting at eOffice Soho, but as usual please send an email to London Nightowls beforehand to reserve a place.
Hope you can make it.
London Nightowls unleashed!
On our launch night last month Jamillah from BBC 5 Live's Outriders programme came to look around the space and find more about what we were up to.
Listen to Amber in New York and Sarah in London explain the benefits of late night co-working
The first London Nightowls happened last night and here are the photos!
Attendees included a web designer, html developer, writer, motor journalist, digital entrepreneur, photographer and more!
We had a really fun evening, nice chat, nice music, nice pizza and most importantly got a lot of work done.
Thankyou to eOffice too for giving us a home for the night.
Have a listen to our spotify playlist here and follow us on twitter for news about future meetups.
In less than 24 hours the first London Nightowls will be kicking off at eOffice Soho. We still have a couple of places left so please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to book a place.

What's in a word? When the word is "lunge", it could be quite a bit.
That's lunge the verb, as in the Spokane Police Department's repeated insistence that Otto Zehm "lunged" at Officer Karl Thompson the night of March 18, 2006, in an altercation that led to Zehm being struck with a police baton, jolted with a Taser, handcuffed, hog-tied, going unconscious, slipping into a coma, being declared brain dead, and eventually dying.
That word was used by Acting Spokane Police Chief Jim Nicks the night of the altercation, who had been called to the scene."The suspect lunged at the officer during the initial contact and basically a fight occurred at that time," he told the assembled news media.
All the bad things that happened, it seemed, sprang from that lunge.
But Nicks wasn't there when the altercation started…
Chances to catch the candidates, and the surrogates for some of the ballot issues, in the Nov. 3 election are going to be popping up with increasing frequency. The newspaper and the Spin Control Web site will try to keep up with them as they come in, but here's some we know about right now:
Tuesday evening: Spokane Area League of Women Voters forum for Spokane Public School Board seats, Municipal Court, State House District 9, I-1033 and Ref. 71., starts 5:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers, Spokane City Hall.
Thursday morning: Candidates for all three Spokane City Council seats debate at a Greater Spokane Inc. starts 7:30 a.m., 801 W. Riverside
Thursday evening: Candidates for Northeast Spokane Council Seat 1, Municipal Court race between Tracy Staab and Bryan Whitaker, supporters and opponents of city Prop. 4, starts 6:30 p.m. at the restored Masonic Temple, Market Street at Diamond Avenue.
Oct. 5: Spokane Area League of Women Voters forum for Spokane City Council candidates, Fire Bond, other city ballot issues, starts 5:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers.
This is from a Web site that offers up a video of a new song every day. This one is interesting for two reasons:
1. It has an excellent message about the Internet.
2. It flashes on a Spokane "celebrity" about a 1 minute into the video.
Thanks to alert reader, former correspondent and longtime friend Reiko Tateya for bringing this to our attention.
Sunday's column and post discussed a new study by Eastern Washington University's Kevin Pirch on the differnt voting patterns of young and old voters.
Those looking for more information could check out the whole study. Find it here.
Not that this is necessarily the best way to get national recognition for a local news story, but Jay Leno included a mention of one of our hottest topics in his Monday night monologue.
With a "How bizarre is this?" lead-in, he mentioned the escape of Phillip Paul at the county fair last week. "Apparently he blended in with the carnival ride operators."
If you missed it and are dying to see the whole 1-minute bit, it's at about 6 minutes into this clip. Sorry it's the whole show from hulu.com, but it didn't make the monologue highlights on the NBC site.
Note to candidates and campaign managers: If you're going after voters in the upcoming election, you may want to target seniors early and hit the Gen Ys after Halloween. At least in Spokane County.
That's one of
the conclusions of a new study by Eastern Washington University's Kevin
Pirch, who analyzed last year's voting patterns and found some things that go
against the conventional wisdom.
"I was kind of surprised," said Pirch, an assistant professor in the Government Department. "I kind of assumed older voters would hold on to their ballots longer."
Tea Party organizations in Spokane and North Idaho had rallies last week on Constitution Day - the first day of Constitution Week - to air their displeasure with government.
OK, so some group is always unhappy with government, it's the American way.
But sometimes, government does its best to fan the flames. Take last Monday when City Council President Joe Shogan introduced the Public Forum with an explanation of procedures to an audience that included newcomers who had come to complain about an apparent crack down on medical marijuana dispensaries.
They had the right to talk,
Shogan said. But members of the council aren't obligated to listen, and may
not listen at all or even consider what speakers say. How's that for
instilling warm feelings about one's elected officials?
Don't start a war, but feel free to speak your mind - in Spanish, if able. Toast the season with something that leaves your head clear.
That's because tomorrow is Peace Day. This is also Constitution Week and Alcohol and Addiction Recovery Month and National Hispanic Heritage Month.
We know this because of last week's proclamations from the Spokane mayor's office noting calendar honorifics. Constituents of good character ask the mayor's office for a little recognition, and decades of mayors have been happy to comply. Proclamations are read each Monday evening before the City Council gets down to the serious business of explaining how each councilmember spent the previous week in neighborhood meetings, pancake feeds and rubber chicken lunches.
Proclamations are not a bad thing. It's just hard to know how to judge the relative import of these events based on time alloted. Is alcohol recovery more important than the Constitution, because it gets 30 days and "We the People…" gets seven? Is peace getting the short shrift on the calendar, just as it is around the globe?
By the way, National
Punctuation Day is Thursday. No proclamation yet,
but send someone you love an exclamation point, any way.
Not exactly what every member of Congress aspires to, but Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers has a spot in Jon Stewart's opening Wednesday night. She's one of the featured clips in Scoldplay, or Jackass Carrousel, in which Stewart points out that members of both parties seem to dismiss the need for an apology when it's a member of their party that's under fire, but want an "I'm sorry" from a member of another party.
|The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
|Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c
She's about 2:30 into the segment.
We pause in the middle of this year's election season to bring you a preview of next year's.
There's could be an interesting Republican primary in Spokane's 6th Legislative District.
Former Rep. John Ahern has talked about wanting a rematch ever since he lost to Democratic challenger John Driscoll last November by 74 votes. He's even raised a little money, despite the fact that the election is out beyond most people's horizon, and picked up backing from some county GOP leaders.
But Wednesday, Shelly Maak O'Quinn, a fresh face in the Republican ranks, said she'd run for the seat also.
O'Quinn, who has worked for the Inland Northwest Community Foundation, Habitat for Humanity Spokane Neighborhood Action Plan and the World Affairs Council, can count on support from at least one GOP "name." She's the executive director for the Nethercutt Foundation, and has the support of her boss, former Rep. George Nethercutt.
This could get interesting.
Shortly after finishing the ACORN post below, the e-mail Inbox had a press release from that national organization explaining changes it's putting in place as a response to a series of video investigations of its practices.
It's a press release that all but concedes the actions alleged — where actors posing as a pimp and a prostitute sought and received information from ACORN workers about scamming the government — occurred. It says there were "indefensible" actions by a handful of new, poorly trained employees. They're shutting down parts of their operations while proper training gets done.
This is a bit of an about face from the same e-mail address that Wednesday accused the video team of "lies and manipulation."
In the news biz, this is pretty much seen as copping to the allegations and heading into damage control mode.
The admission can be found here.
A Tea Party gathering is scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Spokane. But don't expect crumpets.
This is the kind of Tea Party for folks unhappy with some or all aspects of their government. It will feature syndicated radio host Laurie Roth and some local speakers, some of whom will be holding forth on the U.S. Constitution.
Because Thursday is also Constitution Day, and the beginning of Constitution Week. That's because it's the 222 anniversary of the signing of the Constitution.
Rally is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the Convention Center and Opera House, a.k.a. the INB Performing Arts Center.
There's no ACORN office in the Inland Northwest.
Nothing in Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Pullman, Colville, Sandpoint, Republic, Metaline Falls, Kellogg…
We could go on with the geography lesson, but we suspect you get the drift.
Some readers — some of whom might more accurately be described as FOX News viewers, because they admit they don't actually read the paper — have been calling The Spokesman-Review newsroom this week to ask why we haven't reported on the ACORN scandals.
Actually, the newspaper has had stories on the ACORN problems. There was one Wednesday morning. And one Tuesday morning. And one last Saturday morning. And one last Friday morning. And one last Thursday morning.
When told this, callers sometimes ask which ones were on the front page. The answer is none.
The reason? Because none of these reported problems …
Rep. Joe Wilson may be having his 15 minutes of fame for yelling "You Lie" during President Obama's speech, but he's not the first person to heckle a president during a speech. (And based on the direction political discourse is headed in America, he won't be the last.)
But Buzzfeed has compiled a list of presidential speech interruptions, complete with video, that reach back to Ronald Reagan. While none of the others happen during an address to a joint session of Congress, they do show that heckling can happen at inopportune times.
And for those of you who'd like to change the direction of discourse in this country, there's this site, where you can plug in your own words to shots from the speech.
When a president talks, congresspersons listen…and then they talk, too.
Such was the case Wednesday night when Barack Obama talked about health care reform, and members of Congress talked about Obama's talk.
Go inside the blog to see what the honorables who represent the Inland Northwest had to say.
Didn't take long for the left and the right to grab onto a two-word outburst during President Obama's speech Wednesday night.
Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., called the White House to apologize for shouting "You lie," when Obama was talking about health care and illegal immigrants. But some right wing blogs are defending his outburst, saying dissent is as acceptable in a presidential speech as standing and clapping. Operation Rescue and some other groups also are using the "L" word in their press releases Thursday morning.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, meanwhile, had a fund-raising appeal out first thing Thursday morning, proclaiming that heckling the president is unacceptable and asking donors' help in raising $100,000 in 48 hours to show Wilson "that we will not stand for our president being called a liar in front of the nation."
Disrespect has been the hallmark of the summer, the DCCC contends: "But disrespecting the President before the eyes of the nation and just at the moment when President Obama was offering his solution to the greatest challenge of our time is truly an outrage."
OK, so Wilson's outburst was not a classy thing to do. One should expect better of a congressman, although with the current low regard the nation has for members of Congress, that may be debatable.
But is a two-word outburst during a high-ranking politician's talk acceptable free speech?
A court case based in Spokane would suggest that it is.
Go inside the blog to read more.
Democrats apparently like to watch President Obama in groups.
The Democratic National Committee, through the Organizing for America campaign operation, is organizing "watch parties" around the country to view Obama's address tonight to a joint session of Congress tonight, including one in Spokane.
It's at Toad Hall, 1427 W. Dean, starting at 5 p.m.
(An earlier version of this post said the speech started at 6 p.m., but that was incorrect. White House Web site says 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific.)
Spokane is smarter than Tacoma, Everett, Bellevue and Salem, but not smarter than Eugene or Seattle.
At least, that's what the Natural Resources Defense Council says in its latest lists of "smarter cities," which ranks small, medium and large cities on the environmental intelligence.
Spokane ranked sixth among medium cities, just below Eugene and above Huntsville, Ala. Tacoma may be closing in on Spokane in population, but it's No. 54 on the NRDC. Boise? It's No. 52.
Don't get too big-headed, though. Seattle ranked No. 1 among the large cities.
Want to see the lists or read more about how the council came up with them? Click here.
Southeastern Washington legislative candidate Susan Fagan picked up the endorsement of the Republicans' last two gubernatorial nominees.
OK, that was just a chance to see if you were paying attention after a three-day weekend. As anyone with a working knowledge of Washington politics knows, the same person has been the GOP's nominee for governor for the last two elections.
Former State Sen. Dino Rossi is endorsing Fagan for that empty 9th District House seat, though.
One might wonder what impact that has, considering Rossi was unsuccessful in his two runs for governor. (Unless one wants to argue that he actually was successful in 2004 but had the election stolen from him, but the statute of limitations has kind of run on that one.)
The answer, though, is potentially a big impact. Rossi got 58 percent of the vote in the 9th District last year. And with two Republicans — Fagan and Pat Hailey — on the Nov. 3 ballot, this kind of endorsement could be significant for Republicans trying to choose between the two.
No matter what the weather people tell you, Monday is the end of summer. The kids are back in school and most adults have burned up their vacation.
That should mean the start of serious political campaigning and the end of the summer crazies, which this year included an Idaho gubernatorial candidate talking about hunting tags for President Barack Obama, a referendum campaign trying to keep its donors names' secret, Mayor Mary Verner getting a tattoo on television …
OK, so her honor's tattoo is the henna variety, which fades over time. But when one returns to Spokane from two weeks off, is paying only marginal attention to the evening newscast with the TV volume on mute, and sees a fleeting glimpse of the mayor's leg being tatted up, one can't help but wonder if something changed in one's absence. Has Verner decided to quit her day job and hit the road as a rapper, or is this just another "dog days of summer" TV story?
More of the latter, it turns out. Verner got temporary body art on her ankle last week as a part of a fundraiser for Cancer Patient Care, city spokeswoman Marlene Feist said. She picked out a design that features a cancer ribbon wrapped around a sword, with the words "Still Fighting."
For Verner, who has lost several family members to cancer, support of cancer research is very personal, Feist said.
That's admirable, if unconventional. One can only imagine, however, what other local politicians might choose for body art if this kind of thing catches on. Spokane Valley council members might have "We (heart) Spokane Valley" tattooed on some expanse of flesh in celebration of the disincorporation forces announcing, yet again, that they can't gather enough signatures to put their initiative on the ballot. Idaho gubernatorial hopeful Rex Rammell might have the president's face with a target applied to his chest, giving him yet more opportunities to ask why people don't get the joke. Perennial candidate Barbara Lampert could have "Vote for Me for ___," and use henna to fill in the blank with the office she aspires to in any given year.
The possibilities could be endless, at least during the summer doldrums. But as Jim Morrison once said, summer's almost gone.
Groups seeking to have Spokane Valley voters decide whether to get rid of the city they created earlier this decade are giving up their drive to put disincorporation on the ballot.
Susan Scott of Friends of Spokane Valley said this morning that her organization and Citizens for Disincorporation are not giving up entirely, but shifting their focus to back challengers to incumbent City Council members on the November ballot. But she acknowledged that the petition drive is over.
"We ran out of time," Scott said. "We're backing the candidates in favor of a change in the government we have."
That will include Brenda Grassel, who is running against Councilwoman and former Mayor Diana Wilhite and state Sen. Bob McCaslin, who is running against Mayor Rich Munson, she said.
Dick Behm of the Spokane Valley Business Association, which was fighting the disincorporation, announced the drive was over in a press release that called for both sides to join in a campaign to create a positive image for the city. The group will continue to distribute its "We (heart) Spokane Valley" signs, designed to thwart disincorporation, as long as they last, Behm said.
The state Supreme Court's ruling that district court judges had the right to hear City of Spokane cases is a big relief for the folks at City Hall. But it has a little boost for one of the municipal court judges face election this November, also.
Judge Tracy Staab has drawn criticism from some quarters for not being a city resident. That's didn't faze the mayor or the City Council when she was appointed, but it recently drew crticism from the Spokane County Republican Party.
High court ruling reiterates the legislative standard that a judge doesn't have to be from the city limits, but only city voters get to elect them:
"From its inception, the statutory scheme governing municipal departments provided specific procedures by which they could be staffed with judges … The statute did not limit who was eligible to be appointed or elected, but only city voters could vote for municipal judges."
Whether Referendum 71 goes on the November ballot may still be in doubt.
An opposition group, Washington Families Standing Together, did what a King County Superior Court judge essentially suggested it do Tuesday, filing for an injunction in Thurston County over questions about the validity of petitions.
Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed certified the referendum for the ballot this week after announcing it had the required 124,000 or so signatures on petitions. But some of those petitions had not been signed in the required box by the people who collected them. The campaign manager for the petition drive signed some of them, others were blank.
Some of the signers also weren't registered to vote until they signed the petition.
Both of these are potential problems Judge Julie Spector said yesterday. But they weren't problems that she could rule on, because they were being raised before the referendum was certified. Once it was certified, Spector said, opponents would have to go to Thurston County Superior Court.
That's what they did, quoting extensively from Spector's discussion of the problems with the petitions. They challenge the validity of some 35,000 signatures; and the petition drive had only about 1,500 to spare.
Expect a quick hearing on this one. The clock is ticking toward the deadline for getting ballots printed around the state, and a statewide voters pamphlet.
It was prompted by the state Supreme Court ruling that
The decision may have saved the city from returning millions of dollars in fines and fees.A unanimous Supreme Court upheld two misdemeanor convictions from 2005 which an appeals court had voided over questions of the judge's authority.
The Supreme Court reinstated drunk-driving convictions for Lawrence Rothwell and Henry Smith, ruling that District Court Judge Patricia Walker had jurisdiction even though she wasn't elected solely by city voters.
With the post below, Spin Control returns from a (mostly) two-week hiatus during which primary contributor Jim Camden was on vacation and furlough, and Jonathan Brunt was filling in whenever possible.
Thanks to everyone who kept the comments going during the period of "light blogging."
Referendum 71 should go on the November ballot. So says Secretary of State Sam Reed. So says King County Superior Court Judge Julie Spector.
Reed certified the voters' opportunity to repeal the "everything but marriage" law Wednesday. That was pretty much a given because his office previously reported it had more than enough signatures to make the ballot. It was a close one, with only about 1,400 signatures to spare, and it made the cut by having one of the lowest rejection rates in history.
Spector rejected a request from opponents of the initiative to block it from the ballot because of questions about the way the petitions were turned in. Some of the petitions did not have the validation box filled out, which is to be signed by the person collecting the signatures. Some were turned in blank, then stamped by campaign manager Lawrence Stickney, others remained blank.
Reed accepted the petitions anyway, which is standard practice for petitions. Spector said Reed has the authority to accept the petitions for verification, and his decision can't be challenged until after the measure is certified for the ballot. Opponents have five days to take their case to Thurston County Superior Court, which is where challenges of the petition process are handled, she said.

Gun violence keeps increasing in spite of the fact that gun laws have become more liberal. But how could this be? Guns are supposed to make us safer.
Three out of every five households have at least one gun in them,but the people in those houses are more likely to be killed or injured by a gun than people who have no gun in their house. So to say that people are safer, because they have a gun, is untrue.
Criminals have guns. They buy them like buying candy in a candy store at gun shows. Then they go out and shoot each other on a regular basis. The mentally ill can buy guns, big guns, then they go to movie theaters or classrooms and fire away at the innocent.
Some people who own guns feel a sense of empowerment, and that makes them more likely to use them if they are losing an argument.
The NRA has pulled the biggest hoax on the American people in history. They led them to believe that stricter gun laws are unnecessary, even if that means the mentally ill, criminals, and the hot tempered have easy excess to them.
Question is, when will the American people wake up and reject the insanity?

can be at most 4 × 10–5 times that of Earth's (Weiss et al., 2000). These results suggest that distribution of hypothetical martian biota may not be limited by the availability of energy, but rather by the availability of liquid water.
The metabolic activity of a potential martian biosphere is one of several possible explanations for recent claims of the detection of roughly 10 ppb of methane in the martian atmosphere (Mumma et al., 2004; Krasnapolsky et al., 2004; Formisano et al., 2004). If this detection is correct, the approximately 300-year photochemical lifetime of methane in the martian atmosphere implies the presence of a significant and recent methane source. Candidate abiogenic methane sources include recent volcanism, hydrothermal sources, cometary and meteorite impacts, and the serpentization of basalt (Wallendahl and Treiman, 1999; Krasnopolsky et al., 2004; Formisano et al., 2004). Candidate biogenic sources include fossil biogenic methane diffusing out of the martian crust and ongoing methane production from a hypothetical martian biosphere (Farmer, 1996; Fisk and Giovannoni, 1999; Max and Clifford, 2000; Krasnopolsky et al., 2004; Formisano et al., 2004). The global atmospheric source strength of methane on Mars is less than one-millionth that of methane on Earth. This suggests that, if the amount of methane that appears to be present in the atmosphere is in equilibrium with its production rate (i.e., there is no net accumulation of methane in the subsurface), then the metabolic rate of any hypothetical martian biosophere is quite small. Neither the validity of this assumption nor the accuracy of the identification of atmospheric methane can currently be confirmed. If subsequent investigations were to verify the presence of methane and also confirm that it is of biological origin, the motivation and requirements for preventing the forward contamination of Mars would have to be thoroughly reassessed.
On Mars today, the limiting requirement for habitability appears to be the presence of liquid water. The potential for forward contamination of Mars by Earth microorganisms is therefore closely tied to the existence, state, and distribution of water reservoirs across the planet. Thus, water is the key indicator for special regions (see Box 1.1) on Mars. Knowledge of the distribution and behavior of water in all its forms on Mars is at present incomplete, particularly with respect to liquid water.
The subsections below summarize current understanding of the total martian reservoir and discuss the prospects for liquid water in the deep and near subsurface.
Mars exhibits widespread evidence of extensive modification by the effects of impacts, volcanism, liquid water, ice and wind—processes that appear to have been more active in the planet's past. Evidence for a water-rich Mars is provided by the geomorphic interpretation of a long list of landforms (e.g., Carr and Schaber, 1977; Rossbacher and Judson, 1981; Carr, 1986, 1996; Squyres et al., 1992; Malin and Edgett, 2000, 2003) and by geochemical and sedimentary evidence, recently acquired by the Mars Exploration Rover (MER), of episodic inundation by shallow surface water at Meridiani Planum (Squyres et al., 2004a,b).4
The most persuasive geomorphic evidence for large amounts of water on Mars are the outflow channels—broad scoured depressions hundreds of kilometers long that exhibit braided and streamlined forms within their beds. The channels generally emerge abruptly from large areas of collapsed and disrupted terrain, the apparent result of a massive release of groundwater. The distribution, size, and range of ages of these features suggest that a significant body of groundwater was present on Mars throughout much of its geologic history and may still persist today (Baker, 1982; Tanaka, 1986; Tanaka and Scott, 1987; Carr, 1986, 1996; Baker et al., 1991).
Using a conservative estimate of the volume of water required to erode the outflow channels, and the likely extent of their subsurface source regions, Carr (1986) estimates that Mars may possess a planetary inventory of

National Intelligence Grid begins operations; high security protocols deployed
December 22, 2013
NEW DELHI: The ambitious counter- terror mechanism envisaged post 26/11, has discretely begun churning out vital information for Indian security agencies even as high-level security arrangements have been put in place to aggressively guard the system against any breach in its platform. National Intelligence Grid (NATGRID) CEO Raghu Raman , who has been leading the creation of the ambitious department under the Union Home Ministry, said 21 data sources of various intelligence and enforcement agencies have been brought on board to put together a better picture of an incident which could be used not only to counter an impending threat but also trail suspects.

Green corridor to see wind and solar farms in Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu
October 9, 2013
Yogima Seth Sharma , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: The government will set up wind and solar farms in Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu in the first phase of the Rs 43,000-crore green energy corridors project that aims to add 30,000 MW to the national grid by 2020. The first phase of the Indo-German project is expected to cost Rs 18,000 crore, of which Rs 10,000 crore will be invested in the two states, a senior official told ET. The initial funding for the project will be finalised by the month end and the first tranche of Rs 2,500 crore is expected to come from Germany, the official added.
Government plans higher penalties to curb power overdrawal from grid
August 9, 2013
NEW DELHI: To ensure smooth functioning of electricity grids, the government is planning higher penalties and quicker punishments for entities that overdraw power. The Power Ministry is looking at ways to amend the Electricity Act so as to implement new rules as part of efforts to prevent grid failures. "We are also looking into the scheme of how the Electricity Act can be amended to ensure that the penalties for overdrawal are increased, penalties are recovered in a faster way and the actual punishment to the offender is done very quickly," the ministry has said in a recent submission to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Energy . Overdrawal of electricity by some utilities was among the factors blamed for the massive grid failures in July 2012 that impacted more than half the country's population.
Record power transmission lines laid in June 2013
August 5, 2013
Sarita C Singh , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: The government said record number of high-tension power transmission lines were laid down during June this year. The length of 765 KV lines, 400 KV lines and 220 KV lines that were laid down in June 2013 was 1117 circuit km (CKM), 775 CKM and 1010 CKM respectively. These figures are much higher than the target for this month as well as the actual achievement for the last year, an official statement said. Transmission projects continue to be accorded a high priority in the context of the need to evacuate power from generating stations to load centres, systems strengthening and augmentation of National Grid . Transmission line laid down in June 2013 and 2012: Jun 13 Jun 12 Transmission Lines (in ckm)
A year after India's biggest power blackout: Why it happened & the lessons learnt
August 4, 2013
Avinash Celestine , ET Bureau
One year after India's biggest power blackout, what have we learnt from a series of technical failures which plunged large parts of the north, east and west into darkness? Immediately after the incident, the blame fell on northern states such as Haryana and Uttar Pradesh for drawing more than their quota of power from the national grid, thereby weakening it, and ostensibly bringing about the failure. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav even proceeded to transfer the head of the UP Power Corporation for the incident.
Peak power shortfall for FY'14 pegged at 6 per cent
July 15, 2013
Debjoy Sengupta , ET Bureau
KOLKATA: The country is likely to see an overall power supply shortfall of 6.2% during peak hours despite a capacity addition of 18,432 mw during 2013-14, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has estimated, with grid constraints in South India contributing to bulk of the shortfall. During 2012-13, the peak supply shortfall was around 9% with demand touching 135,453 mw and supply 123,294 mw. All regions except the East will have peaking shortages: shortage in the North, South and North-East is estimated at 1.3%, 26.1% and 10.0%, respectively.
Government aims to build world's largest transmission grid by 2017
June 23, 2013
NEW DELHI: Power Ministry has set an ambitious target of building the world's largest transmission network spanning across 1,40,000 circuit kilometres by 2017. "We have an ambitious plan in the transmission sector in the 12th Plan period (2012-17). We want to increase current capacity of 1 lakh circuit kilometres to 1,40,000 circuit kilometres," Power Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia told PTI. Scindia said that "by the end of the 12th Plan, we would be able to create the largest transmission grid in the world".
Southern states to ensure power supply for key services by August during grid troubles
June 19, 2013
NEW DELHI: All the southern states are expected to implement by August the islanding schemes that would ensure power supplies to essential services in the event of grid disturbances. The idea of islanding scheme gained prominence after the massive failure of electricity grids last July that affected more than half of country's population. According to latest update from the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the planning body for the power sector , the four Southern states - Andhra Pradesh , Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala - would have islanding scheme by August 2013.

Richard Estes
This beautiful early work by Richard Estes is set at the iconic Bethesda Fountain in New York's Central Park. Combining plein-air spontaneity with studied compositional harmony, Bethesda Fountain shows a contemporary American interpretation of the Impressionist tradition.
This work is rare because it was executed in 1966, at the very beginning of Estes's painting career, and two years before the artist's first solo show in New York. The reflective surface of the fountain water presages Estes's career-long preoccupation with the ephemeral nature of light and reflections.

Designed by architect Cass Gilbert and completed in 1913, it is one of the oldest skyscrapers in the United States. The land for the building was purchased by F. W. Woolworth, on March 11, 1910, for US$2 million. A century after its construction, it remains, at 57 stories, one of the 20 tallest buildings in New York City; it has been a National Historic Landmark since 1966.

What is an "overpriced" cocktail?
- g
- grouchomarx Jul 21, 2010 11:32 AM
I frequently see people complain about the price of cocktails in Manhattan, not only on Chow but also on Opentable, Zagat, etc. But I find that just about anywhere (nice, not crazy expensive) you go not only in Manhattan, but also Westchester, NJ, Long Island, a cocktail is usually about $15. I guess my question is, to those who find $15 too much for a drink, where are you going to get cheaper drinks?? I'm at the point where if a cocktail is $12, I think it's pretty reasonable!
I honestly think more than $12 is overpriced. I say that because I am quite a fan of the cocktails at The Breslin and PDT (which are $12); thus, if they are completely satiating my desire and more, why would I pay more elsewhere?
I use those as an example because they are better, in my opinion, than the cocktails I have tasted in other places in recent weeks.
I believe if I am served something really excellent and it exceeds $12, its price will not diminish its appeal for me.
The Breslin
20 W 29th St, New York, NY 10001
re: jacquelines
PDT cocktails were $14 each when I went two weeks ago.
I expect restaurant cocktails to be $12 and cocktail bar/lounge prices to be $12-15. Pegu Club, PDT, Painkiller, Mayahuel, Death & Co are all in that range. I think that the Mayahuel and Death & Co folks have them as $13 (Death and Co's site is out of date but Mayahuel's lists prices) whereas Painkiller's can be anywhere from $12 to $15 dependent on boozyness. Milk and Honey's are $15, IIRC.
I would expect hotel bars and rooftop lounges, etc. to gouge you with a price $15+ for a not-good drink: poorly mixed (if at all), dirty soda guns, thinking that "more booze is better," too sweet, off balance.
Pegu Club
77 W Houston St, New York, NY 10012
304 E 6th St, New York, NY 10003
Overpriced can't simply be narrowed down to pricing.
A $10 margarita made with just tequila and margarita mix is overpriced, whereas a $10 margarita made with good (or at least average) tequila, fresh lime juice and cointreau would be considered appropriate, if not a good deal.
re: ESNY
I agree and generally don't mind paying $15 for a specialty drink, but it would be too much for a tanq and tonic, for example. However, a lot of high end places will charge just that because they can. The other night I asked the sommelier for a white to match my entree (at Maze by Gordon Ramsey @ the London) and it was a perfectly nice glass of wine at a ridiculous $22. Guess I should have asked first!
re: grouchomarx
What bothers me is the exact same drink that is marked up just cause you are at an extensive place, like for example L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon. Can't remember what I was drinking but it was something as simple as a Oban neat and they had the gall to charge me $24 even though its a single liquor and I know how much it costs. Stuff like that pisses me off. At four star restaurants, I can understand expensive wines by the glass if they were from nice, more costly bottles. But the price of a glass of non-vintage Veuve shouldn't be that dramatically different across restaurants.
L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon
57 E 57th St, New York, NY 10022
re: ESNY
Agreed-this is like asking what price makes a restaurant overpriced. Is Ko overpriced? Was Tavern on the Green overpriced? For some the answer is easy (the latter); for others, not so much. I would much rather pay $12-$15 for a well-thought out cocktail than $8-10 for a quickly splashed-out gin and tonic. In general, for me this translates to the prices being worth it at serious cocktail bars, but not at places that are expensive simply because they are a place to see and be seen.
re: ESNY
Completely agree with ESNY especially when it's not a specialty drink served at a cocktail and it still costs the same as handcrafted one.
I'd also add that sometimes the specialty drinks are just too expensive for my wallet. I personally can't justify going out for a couple of drinks at $15-17/drink, even if I know that it's handcrafted with imported water for the ice that they were shaken with. Is the cost justified on the bar's end? Probably, but it's just not where I would want to spend my money. (But the old fashioned at Mayahuel is definitely one of my favorites.)
304 E 6th St, New York, NY 10003
re: funniduck
The drinks at Mayahuel are $13-14, though.

re: kathryn
Kathryn: That should have been in separate paragraphs.
Bookhound: I once went to a catered affair where the mixologist made his own (from imported water) ice, soda water, & infuses his own liquors. He thinks it makes a better drink. Could I tell that the ice was special? No. Were they great drinks? Yes. But personally, I don't know if it's really worth it.
re: funniduck
Ah, got it.
Most of the artisanal style cocktail lounges shake with Kold Draft machine ice. Plus, if it's a drink that goes on the rocks, they've either got a supplier of big ice (Natuzzi Brothers ice studio in Queens does this for at least two places I know of) or they make their own (often times big huge blocks of ice that get carved down into cubes or shards before service), so your old-fashioned gets served with one giant ice cube.
These bars are paying lots of attention to ice as an ingredient in both making the drink and serving the drink. And they're interested in improving the quality of the ice (never heard of importing water but some bars may be trying to make perfect ice using distilled water that's been boiled or otherwise trying to get the impurities out).
re: funniduck
Do any of the high end cocktail bars in New York import water for their ice?
re: bookhound
Probably not in New York, since we have arguably the best and cleanest water in the country.
When you compare the price points to a dessert menu, or even a full main course dish, I think it's safe to say anything over $13-14 is pushing it.
It's one thing if they're offering pricey spirits, or housemade bitters, or other reductions, but fresh squeezed juice and a common dive bar spirit that retails for $25-40, than $15 is inexcusable. Unless it's served in a punch bowl with flames and a pineapple wedge. No, but really, when you look at what they can do at PDT, D&C, Pegu, it's hard to justify it.
I can name a bunch of places I'll never try because drinks start at $18.
There is a lot of things that go into a cocktail that add and subtract from the price. First you should know what's the ingredients. Obviously the booze, is it a named spirit? High end, middle end low end? Or is it something that they're so ashamed of that they're pulling it from the well, (let us never mention it again)? What kind of spirits are they putting in your drink? Some spirits inherently cost more to make than others. Scotch is expensive because of the cost to store and age it. Vodka, being unaged is cheap to produce (sorry Grey Goose fans, much of what you're paying for their marketing budget).
How many different spirits are they using? Places like PDT and Death and Company may use five or more spirits in a single cocktail. Is the drink a highball (A single spirit and something non-alcoholic)? These should never cost that much. If someone is charging $15 for a gin and tonic, I don't care how expensive or organic the gin is or how awesome the tonic is, I'm not ordering it. I could make it at home for 1/15 the cost.
Juices: is it fresh squeezed lemons or limes on the spot to order (look for a large bowl of fruit and a industrial squeezer)? Is all squeezed that day into bottles for service? Or do they use Rose's Lime juice? Citrus oxidizes quickly, if you can find a place that squeezes on the spot, you have found yourself a treasure. I haven't seen anywhere in NYC that does this, but I know Hungry Cat in LA and some of the Trader Vic's do.
Bartender skills: Fortunately, NYC has made great strides here, and are grooming a lot of good bartenders. That will add to the cost, but if you can find a skillful barman, you will have a friend for life. Do they measure with a jigger? Or do they free pour? Do they give your drinks a good hard shake (10 seconds or more)? Or do they willy-nilly it for a couple of seconds? Do they know when they're supposed to shake and when they're supposed to stir? Hint: all-booze drinks like the Martini, Manhattan and Negroni should be stirred, despite what 007 says. Is the bartender knowledgeable? If they can quote people like Dale Degroff, Jerry Thomas, David Wondrich, Jeff Beachbum Berry, and Don the Beachcomber, then you have yourself a learned scholar.
Finally, what I believe is the most important driving reason for prices and an unfortunate thing in the New York cocktail experience: the pedigree of the bar. People who open new cocktail bars tell you whom they used to work for, and they establish this link that goes back to usually two names: Audrey Saunders (who founded Pegu Club) or Sasha Petraske (who founded Milk and Honey). If a new bar is going to open and the owner can say that he used to work for a place, that was opened by a person who worked for a place, and so on... all the way to Milk and Honey... well you can bet your ass the drinks will cost at least $14. And this tidbit will be on all the newsletters and blogs months before the bar's soft opening.

Milk and Honey will on occasion.

Well technically the chain now might go Dale DeGroff -> Audrey Saunders -> Jim Meehan -> someone new. And Audrey is partners with Julie Reiner who also has Clover Club & Flatiron Lounge. But yes, it's important to note the links in the cocktail family tree, but I don't think it's THE driving reason that cocktails are $14.
Death & Co cocktails are $13 (and their staff right now is from all over), but Painkiller offers some $12 cocktails (and those guys are from Dutch Kills) and Yerba Buena's are $12 (Artemio is ex-Pegu).
If you want a cheaper artisanal cocktail, go to Brooklyn.

re: kathryn
The best value/price cocktails are in Brooklyn. Dram (not to be confused with Dram shop), Huckleberry Bar, Clover Club, The Richardson, James and tons more all have equally good if not better drinks than their Manhattan counterparts much closer to the $9 or $10 range than the $15 range.
