The oil-industry funded front group for Koch Industries, Americans for Prosperity, has a Buzzfeed list featuring animated gifs of the "Top 10 Ways To Celebrate Earth Day: For Conservatives." Media Matters has gathered all the ways that anti-conservation "conservatives" have truly decided to celebrate Earth Day this year:
Fox News celebrated Earth Day by hosting Fox Business' John Stossel who is "cheering for fossil fuels" that were responsible for dozens of disasters last year. Forbes contributor and oil and gas industry consultant David Blackmon caught on to the trend, writing an op-ed glorifying the fossil fuel industry titled "Be Thankful On Earth Day For Oil & Gas."
Earth Day happens to lie on the same day as Vladimir Lenin's birthday, so it must be a communist plot, according to conservative blogger Erick Erickson. Erickson filled in for Rush Limbaugh on his radio show on Earth Day by ranting about the connections between environmentalism and communism.
The United States (and globe) has been warming since the first Earth Day -- but that didn't prevent snow-trollers from emerging once again to cast doubt on global warming. On April 22, climate "skeptic" favorite Ryan Maue tweeted at conservative blogger Erick Erickson: "Remind folks on Earth Day... to not put away their snow shovels until July 4th." Erickson later fulfilled Maue's request as a guest host for on The Rush Limbaugh Show.
Jim Treacher, a reporter for the conservative news site Daily Caller, joked that he would celebrate Earth Day by burning "dangerous tires before they can pollute the planet," mocking NASA's Twitter campaign asking the public to take a "#GlobalSelfie" for Earth Day.
Fox News frequent Marc Morano hyped a piece by Roy Spencer that equated climate science to a "religion" -- one of the most prominent ways conservatives erode trust in scientists according to a study by the Yale Project on Climate Communications. Spencer wrote, in honor of Earth Day:
As in other religions, most Earth worshipers are more or less hypocritical. Spend a day being "good", spend the rest of the year failing.
I mostly find Earth Day just plain annoying for the rank hypocrisy on display. A state-sponsored religious day of worship, along with all of the 1st Amendment-violating regulations to codify it.
"This is America!" With that call to jingoism, Fox News legal correspondent Shannon Bream gave voice to a disconcerting push to grant private businesses the right to discriminate.
Bream's moment of candor came after her guest, Bernie Goldberg, cogently explained that business owners operating on Main Street don't get to pick and choose whom they serve and whom they refuse to serve. Bream jumped in:
Why not? Why not? I mean, this is America. We all have freedoms. I mean, why would you want to do business with somebody, no matter what your personal issue was that they had with you, why would you want to force them to do business with you? Why not just go down the street and say, "I'm going to spend my money to somebody who supports me and is kind to me and wants to help me and provide these services for me."
"Corporations are people, my friend," Mitt Romney quipped on the campaign trail in 2012. Increasingly, loud voices on the right are agitating to make sure that corporations and private businesses are seen as religious people who can always discriminate against employees and customers based on their religious beliefs.
Sometime in the next four months, the Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling determining in part whether corporations can deny their employees benefits based on religious liberty protections.
At issue is a provision in the Affordable Care Act requiring for-profit businesses that offer health insurance to include coverage for contraceptive care. Religious groups, rallying behind the owners of the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores, challenged that provision, arguing that it violated the right of Christian business owners to practice their religion.
In part this is the logical outcome of the push on the right to be more permissive of discrimination in the private sector, which Bream eloquently laid out by shouting "America" and "freedom."
In 2010, Rand Paul came under fire for saying that he objected to laws that prohibited businesses from discriminating. "I think it's bad business to exclude anybody from your restaurant," he said, "but, at the same time, I do believe in private ownership." Paul expressed general support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but lamented the fact that it extended to private businesses, a core piece of the legislation. The market, Paul argued, would take care of businesses that chose to discriminate.
While Paul was excoriated for his remarks, they were embraced on the right. Fox Business host John Stossel bragged that he would "go further" than Paul, calling for a partial repeal of the Civil Rights Act and give businesses the right to discriminate:
Because private businesses ought to get to discriminate. And I won't ever go to a place that's racist, and I will tell everybody else not to and I'll speak against them. But it should be their right to be racist.
That hypothesis, that private businesses should have the right to discriminate and be punished by the marketplace, has played out in recent days in the debate over an anti-gay bill in Arizona that would have made it easier for businesses to discriminate against gay customers.
That fight came after months of Fox News pushing anecdotes about Christian business owners under siege by laws the kept them from forcing their religious views onto employees and customers.
After Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed the anti-gay bill, the right jumped at the opportunity to portray Christian business owners as victims who were being denied the right to discriminate.
"Jan Brewer, the governor of Arizona, vetoed religious freedom," Rush Limbaugh opined on his radio show. "And, naturally, Democrats and their media allies are cheering. Even some Republicans are praising Arizona. Meanwhile, our founding fathers more than likely are spinning in their graves at about 400 rpm."
The night Brewer vetoed the bill, Ilya Shapiro, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute, argued in support of the right for businesses to discriminate on MSNBC's All In: "But in terms of private businesses doing it on their own, I think they should have the freedom and individuals should have the freedom to associate how they want."
It's a point Rand Paul and John Stossel were making in 2010. It's a point that opponents of the Civil Rights Act have been making for 50 years. And it's a chilling reality that it's once again a prominent aspect of public debate.
From the January 9 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:

2013 was an epic year of right-wing media misinforming the public on the health care debate, particularly on women's health issues. Ignoring women's health experts, conservative media spent this year stoking fears about everything from birth control to maternity care, ignoring science, distorting state and federal regulations, and demonizing women's health care options in the process. These are the top six scare tactics from 2013.
Media Matters looks back at the best of the worst of right-wing media's treatment of women in 2013.
A new study reveals how successful government safety net programs are at keeping people out of poverty, delivering an additional blow to the Fox News myth that government assistance cannot improve the lives of low-income individuals.
According to The Washington Post, researchers Christopher Wimer and Liana Fox of the Columbia Population Research Center found that from 1967 to 2012, the safety net reduced the poverty rate from 26 to 16 percent.
Official poverty measures did not take government programs used by low-income Americans into account before 2010, often giving the appearance that poverty rates have remained unchanged over the past 50 years. Wimer and Fox adjusted poverty rates going back to 1967 to take into account additional costs and the effect of safety net programs, revealing the 10-point drop in poverty. Previous research by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities suggested that government programs reduce the official poverty rate, but Wimer and Fox found that the safety net has an even greater effect in reducing poverty.
The findings of the study reveal how crucial government anti-poverty programs are, undercutting the right-wing media myth rampant on Fox News that government programs cannot help low-income people.
Fox Business contributor Charles Payne made this point as recently as September, arguing that government assistance has been a waste because poverty numbers have not decreased since the "Great Society" in the 1960s, which implemented many anti-poverty measures.
In a discussion on The O'Reilly Factor, Fox Business' John Stossel recently railed against anti-poverty programs, claiming that government makes poverty "worse with these government programs" and that "we should get rid of most of government and allow poor people to become rich."
Indeed, the belief that government assistance cannot help low-income individuals is somewhat of a theme in the right-wing media, with figures continually questioning the efficacy of safety net programs.
The study also found that absent government safety net programs, 29 percent of Americans would be in poverty today -- an increase since 1967. These findings show that while the economy has grown tremendously in the past few decades, the gains have not reached those at the bottom.
The study reinforces previous research about the nature of growing income inequality in America. However, it is unlikely that voices in right-wing media will take notice of the findings as a problem, especially considering previous calls to reduce inequality have been met with staunch opposition and accusations of implementing a communist agenda.
While Fox News may continue to dismiss government assistance as wasteful, it doesn't change the fact that it plays a critical role in reducing poverty and inequality.
Right-wing media are ignoring the dangers of underinsurance in their attacks on the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) requirement that new insurance plans offer at least a minimum level of coverage, including ten "essential health benefits."
Research has shown that medical costs contribute to a high percentage of bankruptcies filed in the U.S, and a 2007 study from Harvard University found that more than three-quarters of people with medical debt had health insurance. Beginning January 1, 2014, the ACA will begin to tamp down on the type of "swiss cheese" coverage that can leave consumers facing catastrophic health costs by requiring that all health plans on the new health care exchanges cover ten "essential health benefits" that will provide consumers with a basic level of coverage for things like hospitalization, prescription drugs, mental health services, and preventative care.
Right-wing media are attacking this shift toward providing an improved health insurance product and insisting that insufficient insurance is not a problem. An October 30 Wall Street Journal editorial blasted the change as "command-and-control regulation" and said "Democrats are openly instructing adults that they don't know what's best for their own good." In his own October 30 column, the Journal's deputy editorial page editor, Daniel Henninger, wrote called the push for increased consumer protection "progressive coercion," emblematic of "politics by cramdown."
During the October 31 Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy and Fox Business host Stuart Varney obscured the dangers of "cut-rate" insurance plans to characterize the administration's claim that the insufficient levels of coverage in some existing plans led insurers to tell policyholders that they had to change their coverage as "flat-out outrageous" -- even though a study published in Health Affairs found that, in 2010, more than half of Americans who purchased their own insurance had plans that fell short of ACA standards. Later in the show, Doocy and Fox Business host John Stossel bashed the health care law's requirements for new insurance policies:
DOOCY: Now we're going to have to buy insurance that is up to the government's standard even though maybe we would rather just save money.
STOSSEL: We chose those policies and yet the president says you didn't choose well, I need to choose for you.
These attacks all ignore the consequences of being underinsured, which carry many of the same risks as having no insurance at all. According to Kaiser Health News, some uninsured people "avoid going to the doctor or getting prescriptions filled because they can't afford it," and noted that others "end up with medical debt and other severe financial problems." The April Commonwealth Fund study found that half of the underinsured "said they had not received needed care because of cost" and explained that 55 percent of underinsured Americans "reported medical bill problems are accrued medical debt" -- more than twice the rate of those with adequate insurance coverage.
Huffington Post health care reporter Jeffrey Young defined the underinsured as those with health insurance plans that "offered too little coverage and exposed them to high out-of-pocket costs." He highlighted an April study by the Commonwealth Fund that found 30 million people, or 16 percent of the U.S. population were underinsured in 2012. The study also found that lower-income Americans were underinsured at higher rates. The Commonwealth Fund study also stated that 85 percent of those who were underinsured could be eligible for coverage under the ACA's Medicaid expansion or qualify for subsidies to purchase insurance plans on the exchanges, which have a certain standard of coverage, and so "[m]ore people insured and better-quality coverage will likely lead to less medical cost-fueled debt and fewer cost-related access problems."
According to a September 2011 study by the Commonwealth Fund, once fully implemented, the Affordable Care Act could reduce the number of underinsured adults by 70 percent.

Fox's Bill O'Reilly and John Stossel forwarded the notion that government assistance does not lift Americans out of poverty, a claim directly contradicted by evidence.
On the September 17 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host O'Reilly and Fox Business' Stossel discussed persistent and rising income inequality in the U.S. During the segment, Stossel and O'Reilly railed against government anti-poverty measures, with Stossel claiming that government makes "poverty worse with these programs" and that "we should get rid of most of government and allow poor people to become rich."
Stossel's claim about government programs not lifting Americans out of poverty is directly contradicted by evidence released hours before he made the claim.
On September 17, the Census Bureau released its annual report on income, poverty, and health insurance coverage for 2012. While the report showed the poverty rate remained unchanged from 2011, it also highlighted the effectiveness of government anti-poverty programs.
According to the report, if government noncash payments -- such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits -- were taken into account when calculating the poverty rate, millions of Americans would be lifted above the official poverty threshold. From the report:
- If unemployment insurance benefits were excluded from money income, 1.7 million more people would be counted as in poverty in 2012.
- If SNAP benefits were counted as income, 4 million fewer people would be categorized as in poverty in 2012.
- Taking account of the value of the federal earned income tax credit would reduce the number of children classified as in poverty in 2011 by 3.1 million.
Furthermore, as Sharon Parrott, vice president for budget policy and economic opportunity at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, notes, those who weren't lifted out of poverty by SNAP benefits -- also known as food stamps -- were made significantly less poor. The data from the latest Census report reaffirms SNAP as one of the most effective anti-poverty programs.
Fox's misleading campaign against anti-poverty programs -- particularly SNAP -- comes at a critical time. House Republicans plan to decrease funding for the program by nearly $40 billion over ten years, resulting in at least 3.8 million adults and children losing food assistance. The network has even inserted itself into the legislative push against SNAP, distributing its wildly inaccurate documentary on the program to Republican members of congress.
Pushing misinformation about anti-poverty programs has become par for the course at Fox, even at a time of record poverty and inequality.
A predictable mix of falsehoods and sexist stereotypes resulted when two male Fox figures attempted to debunk "gender myths" like the gender pay gap, female versus male drivers, and the need for Title IX to support women's athletics.
Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy welcomed Fox Business' John Stossel on August 8 to ostensibly debunk common gender myths. Doocy opened the segment by asking if the differences between boys and girls are so clear, "why are the feminists still pushing gender equality?"
Doocy and Stossel first attempted to tackle the gender pay gap. While admitting that it is true women are paid 77 cents for each dollar men make, Stossel claimed the discrepancy is because, "we don't work the same jobs." The reason, according to him, is that "women have their priorities in order. They often choose jobs that are less time-consuming, not so far away, and not as dangerous." He concluded that if a true pay gap existed, the market would have sorted it out.
The pair ignored the central fact that the gender pay gap measures discrepancies in pay for an equal amount of work. As of 2011, "women working full time in the United States typically were paid just 77 percent of what men were paid, a gap of 23 percent," a report by the American Association of University Women (AAUW) found. And as the Institute for Women's Policy Research explained, "Women's median earnings are lower than men's in nearly all occupations, whether they work in occupations predominantly done by women, occupations predominantly done by men, or occupations with a more even mix of men and women."
When it came to driving records, Doocy and Stossel did acknowledge that on average, men behind the wheel are more likely to run stop signs, speed, and kill other people. But these statistics did not stop the two from laughing that women are "clearly" worse drivers than men, in part because "they can't maneuver as well."
Back in May, Fox & Friends dedicated more than 13 minutes and multiple segments to questioning whether women can drive or park well.
Last, the men discussed "the myth that Title IX allowed women to play sports in college." Stossel took the stance that without Title IX, which prohibits colleges and universities from discriminating based on gender, this "would have happened anyway. Because at the time, when they passed this, women couldn't get credit cards without a man's signature. Women weren't going to bars alone, or allowed to smoke socially. Life would have changed." Stossel concluded that the law pretends just as many women want to play sports as men do, but "they don't. More men do."
In reality, when Congress passed Title IX in 1972, roughly one in 27 girls, or four percent, participated in sports, according to The New York Times. Just six years later, that number had exploded to 25 percent. Today, roughly one in three girls plays a sport. This increased participation rate is "proof," according to the National Women's Law Center, "that interest often reflects opportunity."
Fox has already sparked outrage this summer with its gender comparisons: In May, host Lou Dobbs called a rise in families with female breadwinners a sign of society's downfall, and paid contributor Erick Erickson added that "biology" and "the natural world" evidenced that men, not women, should hold that "dominant role."
Click below for Stossel and Doocy's full "debunking" attempt.
Fox Business' John Stossel attempted to revive the myth that the gender pay gap is a result of personal choice.
During an August 6 appearance on The O'Reilly Factor, Stossel responded to a statement by co-host Laura Ingraham about liberal criticism of the gender pay gap. Stossel said:
You normal women make different choices, and that's why women are paid less. When it's the same job, they're paid about the same.
Meanwhile, Laura Ingraham dismissed those concerned with equal pay as "feminists and all the Lilly Ledbetter supporters."
In reality, personal choice is not responsible for the gender wage gap.
In its 2013 Gender Pay Gap Report, the American Association of University Women (AAUW) found that women were paid 82 percent of what men were paid just one year out of college, and that lifetime gender wage disparities cannot be explained by personal choice.
Moreover, according to an April 2012 fact sheet from the Institute for Women's Policy Research, "Women's median earnings are lower than men's in nearly all occupations, whether they work in occupations predominantly done by women, occupations predominantly done by men, or occupations with a more even mix of men and women."
Right-wing media have repeatedly hyped the personal choice myth despite evidence to the contrary.
House Republicans reportedly plan to remove food stamp funding from the federal farm bill, a move that stands to further jeopardize the survival of the critical anti-poverty program. This move comes after years of right-wing media figures demonizing food stamp recipients as lazy or dependent, with Rush Limbaugh going so far as to propose dumpster diving as an alternative.
Here's a look back at some of the most egregious right-wing attacks on food stamps:

Duck nachos. July 3, 2013
- Filed Under
Playing amusing variations on traditional Latin dishes has long been characteristic of Anthony Lamas' menu at Seviche - A Latin Restaurant. The dish that amused Maureen McCall recently was the "deconstructed" duck nachos. (I thought I had left "deconstruction" behind when I stopped teaching English, but I guess post-modernism has infiltrated everywhere.)
As he usually does, Lamas explained to me how he goes about constructing this deconstructed dish. For those who like to play around in the kitchen and do a lot of different things to get a dish on the table, this is certainly a dish for you ...

Mindworld is a FPS Action Adventure set in a surreal dreamworld. The main concept of the game is to heavily connect with the player's emotions, making the game a movie-like experience. You experience the action with the eyes of Katherine Evans, a 22 year old student of psychology. When her best friend Jack died, her life should totally change. Three years has gone by since the incident and Katherine has found several techniques to connect with her subconscious mind via lucid dreaming. When she finally understands the whole power of lucid dreaming and dream interpretation, the journy into her deepest mind has just begun...
As we announced in the update on Friday, we are now officially going to use UDK to go indie with Mindworld. In order to not confuse people regarding this modpage, we are not going to update this modpage any further.
Of course, this does not mean we have stopped development, we are simply moving to IndieDB.
Not developing Mindworld in the Source Engine does not mean that the game is losing quality in any way. The number one reason why we decided to go for UDK is because we want to deliever the best quality for the game. Developing with the Source Engine means that we are limited by a lot things and that simply does not allow us to go for our unique and original ideas and plans for the overall concept. Also, by using the UDK engine instead of the Source Engine, everyone is able to play the game without owning Half Life 2.
We are still going to create a game that has great story telling, is concentrating on the atmosphere of the game and connecting with the player's emotions in the most ways possible. Therefor, nothing for you guys has changed, except that you are going to get a higher quality game plus top notch graphics as a side-bonus.
Also, we have the right people and connections to people to develope Mindworld with the new Unreal Development Kit. So, this is great news for you guys, as we stepped up our game and went to the next level. You can continue to look forward to this, we are just going a step further in developing.
I hope that everything about this topic is clear by now and all of you guys can continue to enjoy the progress of this project by tracking it and being part of it. Another little announcement is that we are going to publish special issues that present each teammember on each episode and his/her work in the team in more detail. It's going to be similar to a making-of like Mass Effect has done it already. Although those episodes may not get pubslished regulary, because the development of Mindworld is always going to have a higher priority.
Until then, I hope to see you guys on IndieDB to keep up the great support we have experienced from all of you so far.
We are always publishing the monthly article on the last Friday of each month.

Is there a default font that can be edited?
Is there a default font that can be edited?
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Do you want to set a font to be displayed as the "default" on your blog, or edit an actual font type? Because the latter brings up at least one point: there are no fonts in WordPress.
No matter what I try I cannot change the fonts in the posts.
This was my last attempt
.storyContent ul li {
font-size: 150%;
list-style-type: disc;
margin-left: 10px;
padding-left: 5px;
color: #222;
background: #eee;
No matter what I put in here it does not change a thing. No matter what I put in the index for the font using the
,
 It just doesn't change. something is over writing what I want it to do.
The same thing in my header. even though
 says center it justifies left. I am really getting frustrated figuring out how this code is suppossed to work. I have tried everything that makes sense.
I don't know what Theme you are using, but check in the
style.css for
body {} and see if a base font is set there.
If it is, you can change it there. That is where it is "supposed" to be to set the default font throughout the entire document, since using more than one or two fonts is not very "cool", but still done.
To override a font in any section, first, make sure that you are in the "right" class or ID. I will often think I am and when I really get down to it, I'm not. Pain in the tuckus but it happens, so I warn.
Second, make sure that every element of the font, as set by the PARENT class or ID, is overwritten.
So if the parent sets the font-family, font-size, color and so on, it will control whatever the child has, so if you just change the font-size, it will still be the parent's font-family and color. If you want to change all, change all. But check the parent above, which in your case is HEADER.
I hope that helps. Part of the fun of playing CSS detective. And if you need more help, post a link to your site and the CSS detectives here might be able to track it down better for you.
Iwasn't clear I just want to change the size right now. I like larger fonts for easy reading. The code I posted is from the style.css it is the only thing that had anything to do with storycontent which is what i wish to change the size in. It appears ewvrything uses the same font and size except the header.
here is the site:
I wanted to take a look at your CSS but in order to do that, you have to validate the HTML first. That might be where your problem is. You might have an open tag code. Why don't you do that and then see if that changes things. If not, post again and we'll take another look.
what do you mean by validate the html??
Check out my site on validating your web page and it will tell you all you need to know and give you the sites to help clean up the code.
You can add .storytitle a { font-size: XXpx;} to change the size. I don't know if that's the "proper" way to do it, but it works.
...oops, I was thinking you wanted to change the title font
Perhaps a preemptive strike against your next question? :)
There is no need to validate for us. Crikey what next ? Just look in the CSS. In body the font initializes at 62.5 % for IE. Then in body as well it is set at 13px I think. Adjust to taste. Then look for p. That is the font for all paragraphs. I do not understand it anyway because it has two sizes. Enjoy.
Yes, there is a need to validate. There are enough problems with code to cause all kinds of problems.
I understand that your page won't validate, and I understand the frustration of trying to change a theme to make it your own. There are a lot of helpful articles in the Codex, documentation for using the program, at http://codex.wordpress.org/ that should help.
You need to go through the list of errors that you get and fix them on your site. If it says there is a DIV that is not closed, you have to track it down and fix it. If you don't want to learn how to do all of this, and it is a high learning curve, then I have a better recommendation.
There are now over 200 Themes available to choose from. Probably a lot higher number than that. These tend to be "fixed" with validation errors and such before distributed. Find one that "matches" what you want to do, as close as possible, and then start from there and go slow and simple.
At least you won't have to plow through code fixing things.
I have a week into this one. I am starting to understand there are problems with the theme. The first fewe validatiors didn't tell me anything. But the doctor did explain what was wrong line by line. Now I get it. I know a bit of html but CCS and php are alian to me. Are there any GUI type editors for this new code? It seems like he did allot of things wrong.
Like

This is the way he did it all throughout the theme
I believe it should be
 <class="storycontent">

Is that correct?
I also didn't know he assigned to all the text in the theme. this is why when I tried to change it using
 it didn't work. I may be able to figure it out yet.
The bad part of all the text using is I have to change all of the text to the same size. Not what I wanted to do. I am going to have to figure out how to re-assign the individual areas their own font size.
I am planning on getting a book. Any suggestions?
For reference this was one of the themes from the contest. The only theme I thought would be easy enough to edit to what I want. It might have been easier to learn the code and build on from scratch. I don't know how to do the fancy stuff like java script, boxes and cells.
Like

This is the way he did it all throughout the theme
Yup, that's a correct way
BTW I tried the codex it is not up to date and allot of things I tried was just plain wrong. Like the string for the comment popup.
Do you know where there is a color chart online? what codes does WP accept? Building things on blogger was allot easier but you could not get at the template. here is my blog
they upgraded their servers and there has been nothing but trouble ever since.
Well the validator says that is an open DIV so now what?
To change the text is of the post content, add the following to your css file.
h5 p {
font-size: 20px;
Brian, that
h5 in the posts was there in the theme or you put it there? Because the validation says it's not allowed there
I did because I didn't know how he was controlling the font size. I took it out. I am trying to find out how to change the size to . I see a p in the style.css, but changing the font px didn't change it.
this is what is on the css
p {
font: 11px/13px verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 2px;
I just changed that to 20px/20px nothing changed
I see that the content text is now larger. If you don't see it, you may need to strong refresh your browser.
Your "global font" is controlled from here:
body {
color: #000000;
background: #efefe7;
margin: 20px;
padding: 0px;
font: 11px verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; <=
Change that 11px to whatever you want :)
I refresh every change. I just closed the browser and opened it again and still no change. Wait! I turned off accelerator and now I can see the changes. arg.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the help. I have learned allot in just a short period of time.
The Codex is up to date, brianbonner, though there are a few things related to version 1.2, it is totally dedicated to 1.5. Take your time, read through things carefully. It's a lot to learn, but I think you are finally on the right track.
As you get into CSS you will start to see the cascading. The style rules flow downwards. It is not necessary for the designer to fix them one by one to everything possible. We try and style as many things as we can in one go, with one rule. For learning what selects what it takes patience study and trial and error. It may seem harder than *shudder* blogger but you are not comparing like with like. WP is infinitely configurable . You are new to the code and tools. No need to over pressure yourself. Sensibly it is going to take a bit of time. Good luck and welcome to WordPress.

Very often, at first, people did not know whether to trust a small company that repairs computers in Toronto, and a large, well-known brand. After several visits to such computer repair services will be well aware that much better to use local, small companies performing computer repair in Toronto than the big brand.
In large stores computer repair services are often at a low level, and this cost a lot. There does not employ people who, above all, take care of your business and the customer.
Smaller computer services in Toronto a more individual approach to every problem. Many times they can fix your computer a lot cheaper and faster than the big brands involved in repairing computers.
Personally, I recommend you select a computer services not associated with big brands because it will give you a much better quality computer service Toronto.

eHarmony is one of the post popular and successful dating sites in the World today. It's also the leading choice for daters who are looking for long-term commitment as opposed to a quick encounter.
However, despite any adverts you may see that say "join for free!" eHarmony is a paid dating site. So exactly how much does eHarmony cost? And is it worth paying for a monthly subscription?
Well, eHarmony costs no more than a decent night out. In fact, you will probably have more money left in your pocket after subscribing, than you would do after a night out on the town. You will also meet more people in a month on eHarmony than you will ever meet in a bar or club.
Below you will find full details of the current monthly subscription costs for eHarmony:
United States and Canada Basic Monthly Subscription Costs 2013
$9.95 per month with a 24 month subscription
$18.95 per month with a 12 month subscription
$39.95 per month with a 6 month subscription
$59.95 per month with a 1 month subscription
eHarmony Total Connect Plan – Is it Worth It?
eHarmony also offer a more expensive subscription called the Total Connect Plan. The prices for the Total Connect Plan are as follows:
Total Connect Prices for America and Canada
The Main Differences Between the Two Cost Plans:
So all the extra money buys you is their secure call feature and a more detailed psych evaluation. The secure call feature is not really necessary since you can use Skype or Google talk to make anonymous calls. And as for the deeper analysis of your character, just ask a good friend. So save your money and just take the basic subscription, you can put the money that you save towards your first date.
eHarmony TV Commercial
Automatic Renewals – Watch Out!
Like practically every dating site on the planet, automatic subscription renewals are turned on automatically when you subscribe. This means when your monthly subscription expires, it will automatically be extended. This can be a shock, especially if you have already met someone and no longer require the subscription. Therefore we recommend turning this off sooner rather than later. Turning it off will not effect your membership features in anyway, you will still have full use of all site features as a paid member.
eHarmony Mini Review – Is it Worth It?
If you are looking for a serious relationship, someone to marry and start a family with, then eHarmony is honestly your best bet. Each year tens of thousands of marriages take place between couples of have met on eHarmony, so they have to be doing something right! Their personality matching software helps to match couples who share common personality traits, helping to ensure longer and more successful relationships than ever before.
You'll find that the site is also relatively free of spam, yet you should still remain on your toes. If you receive a message that sounds too good to be true, or requests for money, then report them immediately.
We recommend joining for at least 6 months if you are serious about finding someone, as it's unlikely to happen overnight. The 6 month and longer membership options also offer the most value.

From helping with crowd control to personally welcoming Sen. Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, Galesburg people played a significant role during Saturday's announcement in Springfield that Delaware Sen. Joe Biden will be Obama's running mate.
From helping with crowd control to personally welcoming Sen. Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, Galesburg people played a significant role during Saturday's announcement in Springfield that Delaware Sen. Joe Biden will be Obama's running mate.
Knox College President Roger Taylor, at the event in his role as a board member for the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, said he and his wife Ann stayed in Springfield the night before and arrived downtown about 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
The IHPA operates the Old State Capitol, the site of Saturday's event.
Taylor said there already was a large crowd.
"But it wasn't a mob scene, it was never a mob scene," Taylor said.
Estimates of the crowd size varied, but Taylor heard there were about 35,000 people.
The IHPA representatives were allowed to watch the program from the media area, which Taylor said gave him a chance for a good view of the stage between the Korean and a French TV crews. Before the speeches began, however, Taylor had the chance to take part in something special. He said about three or four members of the Historic Preservation Agency, a couple from the Abraham Lincoln Museum Foundation, as well as the mayor of Springfield, welcomed Sen. Obama and his wife.
Taylor said the underground parking garage at the Old State Capitol was cleared of cars and people and the senator and his wife arrived there.
"The senator came over to me and said something like, 'my career has taken off since I gave the Knox commencement address,'" Taylor laughed.
Megan Scott, editor of the Knox Magazine, also was in Springfield Saturday. She is a volunteer contact for Obama's campaign in Knox County and hosted a house party for the candidate in June.
"I went down with a friend of mine, but we were offered an opportunity to volunteer at the event," Scott said. "We helped work the crowd a little bit. It essentially turned into crowd control."
Scott said the area cordoned off for the crowd was opened and people were allowed to enter at about 10:30 a.m.
"It was pretty much a sea of people walking in," she said. "By 1:30 it was so crowded where we were, we ended up going outside our area and watched (the event) on the Jumbotron."
Heat and humidity were the biggest problems, Scott said, although she thought Springfield and event officials did a good job and making sure there was plenty of bottled water available.
"It was so hot with all the people so close together and by noon, the sun was directly overhead and there was no shade," she said, as well as no breeze. Taylor said the event lasted until about 2:45 p.m.
Page 2 of 2 - The crowd was "really excited" when Sen. Biden hit the stage, Scott said. "Just lots of cheering. It was a great feeling."
She said before Saturday, she was "pretty neutral" as to the vice presidential choice, but she said Obama did a good job of giving the crowd background on Biden and his stance on the issues.
Despite the discomfort, Scott said it felt like a party.
"It was festive," she said, adding that, "just seeing all four of them on the stage, I just got chills. I thought, 'wow, this a really great moment.' "
Norm Winick said Biden "got a really huge cheer. They interrupted him several times with cheers of 'Obama' and cheers of 'Yes we can.'"
According to Winick, chairman of the Knox County Central Committee, "You could have heard a pin drop," when Obama told of the traffic accident that killed Biden's first wife and the couple's daughter. "It was incredibly emotional."
Winick thought Obama was smart to make the announcement on Saturday, with the Democrat's National Convention opening today in Denver.
"The Biden announcement was on the front page of every (Sunday newspaper). I think it just spread out the free media coverage," Winick said.
"We had sunscreen on and we reapplied it about four times and we still got burned," Scott laughed. "But it was worth it."
Taylor said he could not help but think of the fast-approaching 150th anniversary of the Lincoln-Douglas debate at Knox — Oct. 7.
"Sen. Obama, like Sen. Lincoln, both have an honorary degree from Knox," Taylor said. "If you're from Illinois, it doesn't matter if you're a Republican or a Democrat, you can't help but be excited that a son of Illinois is going to be nominated to run for president."

The nonfragile Hinfin control problem for a neutral system with time-varying delays is considered. Delay-dependent criteria are proposed to guarantee the stabilization and disturbance attenuation of systems. A linear matrix inequality optimization approach is used to solve the nonfragile Hinfin control problem. Nonfragile H infin control for an unperturbed neutral system is investigated first. Then, nonfragile Hinfin control for an uncertain neutral system is derived directly from the unperturbed case. Finally, two examples are illustrated to show the improvement of this correspondence

Note: I will be making one more addition to this new header.....IT"S A SURPRISE!
For a not so fucked up looking picture of the header:
In light of going back to college on this upcoming Monday, I've decided to post some essays that I have written in the past two years, with this one of course being the first of only a few. Because this is a research paper, there are quotes followed by a name in parenthesis and a number, because that's how credit is given where credit is due, though I'm not including a works cited page.......
What are we here for? What is our purpose? What are we supposed to do with ourselves? What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything? Could it be something as simple as a number? What is the meaning of life? Is there a meaning for life? We ask ourselves these questions because we want to know truth. It is an essential part of the human curiosity to search for such answers. People have been searching for the answers to these questions for a long time now, and have not found a definite answer. From a philosophical standpoint, the answer is simple. The meaning of life is to pursue happiness. There are others who would state otherwise. Depending on what people believe in, in terms of idealism or realism, one could simply make a list categorizing both idealism and realism, because lists are ultimately the best way to separate the differences and comparisons of these two theories. The idealist, the optimist, would always quote that the meaning of life is to pursue happiness. What makes people happy? Anything could make someone happy; it depends on that person's personality. The realists, with all of their pessimism, are the people who most likely believe that the meaning of life is to hold an infinite amount of knowledge and power over others. They are the egotists applied to Ayn Rand's philosophy of objectivism. Other realists take a scientific approach, using the Big Bang and quantum physics to explain why we are here. Lastly, there are nihilists. These are the people who believe in nothing, and therefore, these are the people who believe there is no such thing as a meaning of life, who understand that we are simply asking a question that cannot be answered. What is the meaning of life?
The idealist sees the world in such a manner that no other living person could see. What an idealist sees is not a world full of peril or terror, but a world of hope and optimism; a perfect utopia in which everything is run in perfect order. Within this utopia, people find well-being amongst themselves and live a satisfying life for their own pleasures. Idealists will also be found to be strong in faith, declaring that there is nothing more ultimate than the presence of God (Brdar 2). The simple view of an idealist's perfect world and what is the meaning of life to idealists comes in one word, and that word is happiness (Brdar 1). An idealist being exuberantly full of optimism is more of a caricature of the typical American dream: the happy person with the perfect home and the white picket fence, in pursuit of the ultimate happiness. While at the same time, these happy folks may find themselves discovering a concept of life, and have re-found themselves somehow via religion (Brdar 2).
Happiness is the ultimate goal in life. The pursuit of happiness is the motivation for any human being to make ends meet (Brdar 1). Whether one's happiness is found in a social life or in their personal possessions is a person's own choice, though what they choose might actually say much more about that person than others would like to know. The pursuit of happiness is an idealist goal for one too many reasons (Brdar 3). From a philosophical standpoint, this has, and always will be the logical explanation to what really is the meaning of life. A happy life for some would be a life where we optimally function in accord with our purpose as a human being (Edwards 3). That happiness is not an individual matter, but one that can be realized on a connection of networks. People consider happiness as the ultimate gateway to a good life, which makes perfect sense if analyzed properly. Happiness, for most people, is what gives people hope to accomplish anything. That happiness is realized on a connection of networks is the idea that we are all somehow connected due to the origins of man through the theory of evolution (Holland 3). Happiness, in all essence, is the sole reason people believe that there is a meaning to life, that when people complete their goal, they will be satisfied to a point where happiness is brought upon them. When a person asks an idealist, let alone anyone for that matter, what is the meaning of life? They are sure to receive the answer: the pursuit of happiness.
Religion, for some people, certainly not for others, resolves the search for a meaning to life with faith in one great thing. All questions brought up by the meaning of life can receive the same answer with religion: God. Either God put us here, wanted us to do this/that, or created all that exists within the universe, these all have the same input and similar answers (Edwards 2). While this answer may receive a fair amount of criticism, it is not without supporters. It would be very hard to miss one. People believe that the meaning of life rests with God for the same reason anything else God is associated with: it's easier to put faith into it. People with faith are idealists, and are happy with their lives, or at least they should be. It is as simple as that.
The idealist, as mentioned above, might live in a utopian world. However, there is one major flaw with that: utopias never seem to actually work. The reason for this is simple: men. Men, as seen by the pessimist, are evil. It is widely believed that money is the root of all evil. However, the truth is this: money is a concept, a concept that shows how far men will go to achieve their standing in power, and is nothing but a mere symbol to the personal greed of men. For pessimists, men are the root of their own evil, with egos large enough to take over the world. The utopias that men build will be overrun by corruption, through the minds of men. These are the same men that run the world every day. Pessimists don't see happiness as an obtainable force; rather it is an illusion (Edwards 5). That men become full of fearful envy because they cannot bear the site of another's happiness is what truly drives men towards their own demise (Edwards 6). For pessimists, a typical viewpoint questions whether there even is a meaning to life. Instead, pessimists look at life through the righteousness of power, the thought of science, and the ultimate opposition against optimism is nihilists, who don't believe in anything.
Apply the questions of life to science. Why are we here? What brought us here? What are we? What is our purpose? What is the meaning of life? There are others, but just think for a moment of how science can be applied to these. The Big Bang theory for one covers the first question, if not also the second. When the Big Bang theory comes to mind, the first thing that should be thought of is the creation of the universe (Westwick 1). This is how our solar system was formed, and eventually the Earth. But, what are we doing here? The first solution that should come to mind includes Darwin's theory of evolution. Darwin comes to mind because he completely changed the way we look at the world, how we managed to come here over a long period of time. Quantum physics explains a theory that is rather hard to explain, but has to do with the Big Bang theory and the creation of the universe, showing this massive formula that explains what some would think is actually simple. (Westwick 1). Pessimists are usually seen as the archetype negative person, but with science comes a way that pessimists can have a certain amount of hope that almost labels it as idealistic. With science, we can prove how we are all really connected to each other and the very beginnings of time.
Power, on the other hand, is the reason pessimists are not just seen as quite negative, but indeed are. Look at the world and think about how everything is run. Each and every system, day by day goes by and nobody seems to really notice the inner workings of relatively anything. Some men and women will do anything to reach the top, and when they manage that, it is as if the motor of the world has stopped, and everything has slowed down, and suddenly returned to normal (Callender 2). People have a desire to make something of themselves, and to do that takes power. Look at some of the rulers of the past and what their views of life contained. Now think about how that affected the lives of others in a psychological way. They judge others on their own personal viewpoints, attempting to take control of rule (Callender 4). Along with power comes ultimate knowledge. Knowledge is the key to power, in which men, according to pessimists, will use to obtain all rule. However, without power, it would be as though men would cease to exist. There always needs to be a system to control the world, otherwise there would be chaos. Pessimists conclude that if there were a meaning of life, that would be to obtain all knowledge in the world to become one powerful man.
To contradict the idealist's happiness, there is being plainly sad and negative. A cynical man would ask questions such as whether or not the human race is worth anything (Edwards 3). They reject the idea of a God completely. They ask: Why should I live? Nothing is worth living for? (Edwards 5) It is these people who live in a deep and dark world that are not able to see anything that is the meaning of life. They live like nihilists who care for literally nothing. This is ultimately the complete opposite of an optimistic person, who lives life happily, while the sad weep and mourn for nothing. To live like this and not be able to answer a question that can't even really be logically answered is to hit rock bottom.
In conclusion, what is the meaning of life? Is it to find all meaningful happiness? To pursue that what thinks is right? Is the meaning of life put out on a silver platter for us in the name of religion, where all things holy are answered with the same exact name? Can science answer this moral question like it has solved many problems in the past? Is it true that men care for nothing but themselves? Or even anything at all? The problem with the question "What is the meaning of life?" is that it cannot be answered. There are theories given from many different types of people, but noon of those really prove anything. The idealist will always believe in the pursuit of happiness as the ultimate answer to a strange question. What motivates people can truly make them happy. Who knows? Maybe that is the answer. However, there is the account of pessimists as well. They question whether the human race is even worthwhile or not, and yet what captivates most people is the strengths of their arguments.
Personally, though I am a realist, I do believe that the meaning of life is contained within happiness. Why? Because I have hope that there is something more to life than just being here, to live as a happy person than a sad miserable and narcissistic one. Happiness gives people a motivation to accomplish just about anything, and change people to become better. I know that sounds moralistic, but it's true.
"The only way to multiply happiness is to divide it." – Christopher McCandless.
"Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision." – Ayn Rand

Fredericka Foster
Watch "Like a Circle in Water," a Tricycle Original Short on Fredericka Foster's work.
I grew up in Seattle—a city of water blanketed by humidity from rain, forests, lakes, and Puget Sound. I have always loved abstract art, and I wanted to paint evocative subject matter that could carry emotion and thought. Water was my solution. Painted without a horizon, it was constantly changing, rich with meaning, and always abstract.
I completed my first water series in the 1970s, using water-soluble media, and returned to this subject, then using oil paint, in the 1990s.
Each water painting begins with a photograph. I travel to bodies of water ranging from the deep fjords of Norway to the industrialized Hudson River, choosing images that stimulate my imagination and that showcase the complexity of water as it plays with light, wind, and the earth beneath it. These photos are models for, but not dictators of, the painting process. My vision changes even as I seek to get the image down, and I experiment with ways to mix and layer pigments in order to trap the evanescent nature of the experience.
Painting water is intimately coupled with my Buddhist studies with Gelek Rinpoche [founder of the Tibetan Buddhist center Jewel Heart] and my meditation practice. In painting, as in any art, we can escape the prison of our minds and connect with what transcends ordinary perceptions. And just as a body of water stays still while a wave-form moves through it, consciousness remains stable despite the constant motion and flow of our thoughts.
Environmental Buddhism's call to practice nonharming has inspired me to study water, and to do what I can to ameliorate the suffering that comes with the ingestion of polluted water.
Hydraulic fracking in particular is contaminating water supplies with toxic chemicals and retarding the development of alternative energy sources. Advertised as a "green industry," fracking, a method for shale gas and oil extraction, is anything but, and its consequences have been insufficiently studied because of the political sway of the oil and gas industry. I hope that my art helps to support people and institutions committed to being stewards of water.

Thank you so much, Fredericka! I'm so happy to see Tricycle publish your work as well as your commentary on fracking. It is obvious the devastation that has happened due to fracking. Wildlife and domesticated farm animals have been contaminated and turned ill due to this method. These grounds where they frack will be uninhabitable. These corporations offer false money packages and leave these farmers will destroyed lands. It's unjust and I agree that we need to appreciate our water. Mother Nature needs our support and care. Renewable energy is definitely the cleanest alternative that we need to invest in.
We are like drug addicts debating whether the particular way we get our drug is the source of the imbalance in our lives, not the fact that our economy is based on consuming the earth. It's like pursuing the 'war on drugs' by going after Columbian farmers. The answers come down ultimately to issues of our own personal behavior and attitudes toward each other, toward our world, and toward the things we think we need to make us happy.
Hydraulic fracking has been in use for decades and is today safer than ever. If some older wells are non-compliant, they should be made compliant or shutdown. My position on this is simple in that that I also like breathing clean air and know that carbon fuel pollution is being cut in half by using natural gas, the primary resultant fuel from fracking. I would think environmental groups would be on the side of increased natural gas extraction and use ( some are ), but for others, the Sierra Club in particular have used fracking as a rallying issue based on misinformation to increase membership. We all like and need clean water, Fredericka, but lets understand how damaging to the earth global warming is and take important and significant steps to slow and reverse it.

City Manager wants $360,000 loan to repair his home
Original post made by old timer, Menlo Park: Downtown, on Dec 13, 2013
Negotiated by ex-Mayor Ohtaki and City Attorney McClure, it will come before Council on the Consent calendar (Item D7, next Tuesday).
Absolutely outrageous in my opinion.

Excuuuse me! The city should not be in the banking business. This is an unnecessary perk for a highly paid city employee who has other options. This is a really bad precedent.
a resident of Menlo Park: Felton Gables
on Dec 14, 2013 at 8:06 pm
If the City has a financial stake in the home, I can see the city making a loan with reasonable terms for both parties. If this is a privately owned home, why can't he get a loan from a bank or credit union? The city got burned in their BMR subsidy not to long ago, why they even offer loans is a mystery to me.

My PA license was suspended for a DUI in PA a few months ago. I moved to DE before I was sentenced, became a DE resident and legitimately got a Delaware Drivers License.
Am I within my legal rights to drive in DE with my DE license?

You should check with a lawyer and make sure you have an up to date address on your license in case DMV sends you anything. I would think you are ok until it comes time to renew your license or PA notifies Delaware.

I think these weekly Lensbaby walks are good for the soul. They are energizing and freeing from the constraints of conventional photography. I will have to make it a point to do this regularly, it's going to be my "project 52", one week, one walk, at least one good image.
These were all taken at Blowing Rocks Preserve in Jupiter/Tequesta Florida with the Lensbaby Composer and plastic optic with f/2.8 aperture. Some shots had the close up lens, some the wide angle, and some the telephoto.

Planet Money on National Public Radio takes an aerial view of the government's "fiscal cliff" brouhaha via three different negotiating techniques – the issue isn't what each side is trying to get, but how each side might try to get it. The two hosts outline three different ways to persuade, and then use ordinary examples to demonstrate how we use the same techniques for quotidian affairs that Congress will use to decide the next phase of the nation's financial future.

Review for San Diego Dance Theatre, San Diego, CA, USA
Dance Place is an excellent resource for the San Diego community. I have watched performances there and also received scholarship money to attend classes there. They offer a great service to the dance community and a succesful non-profit organization.
