The TruTankless electric tankless water heater squeezes 24 feet of heating element into a briefcase-size housing, which means it can heat water at a relatively low element temperature (500 degrees F versus 1,000 degrees F for some other models). That, along with the mineral-resistant alloy used to make the element, helps prevent the scale buildup that's common with tankless. It also includes Wi-Fi functionality to alert the homeowner and plumber if problems develop. Several models are available, the most popular being a 4-gpm system sized for a three-bath home, which lists for $1,500. Bollente Cos., 855.862.8987, trutankless.com

Not a bad washer
I really like this product. I feel that the washer is quiet though the dryer starts to shake when it really gets going. Good product other than that. Read full review »
Where's the water?
We purchased this washing machine when the machine that came with our house suddenly died. We decided to go with a front load machine because of its increased efficiency and the fact it was gentler on clothes.
This Maytag is a great washer. It uses next to no water, but the clothes come... Read full review »
Horrible Experience
Our washer's computer and switch failed after owning this model for less than 60 days. When the parts were ordered to fix it, we waited and waited. Upon calling to inquire as to the parts status, we learned the module was on back order until Saturday, 5/18. On the following Monday I called to see... Read full review »

It vibrates and walks. (Look at the user manual to see the meaning of walk. Yes, Maytag knows of this walk problem)
Have it serviced 3 times, not fixed yet.

Choose a design. Children can scratch over a pre-printed design or make their own up.
Scratch design into a small round Styrofoam plate. All scratched areas will remain white once printed. Also if children want to print a word it will appear backwards when imprinted on paper.
Once design is scratched into the Styrofoam take a brayer and dip it in an ink well. Roll brayer across Styrofoam spreading the ink over the design. Make sure the layer of ink is smooth and thin.
Or, instead of ink and brayer, use paint and a paint brush. A foam brush will work. Move brush across plate with a thin layer of paint. Trying NOT to put too much paint on because you don't want it to get into the scratch marks. (This is how the picture shown was completed.)
Carefully turning plate over stamp 3 consecutive times in a row. Press plate on paper LIGHTLY each time. You don't want to press hard on the first one because you'll give up most of your paint.

State housing agency makes $522,000 commitment to maintaining homeownership in Columbus
(AUSTIN) — The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) and State Representative Tim Kleinschmidt today announced a $522,000 award to the City of Columbus to fund home repairs for low income homeowners, helping residents maintain homeownership while providing a shot in the arm to the local economy.
Columbus city officials anticipate the funds will help rehabilitate six homes owned and lived in by income eligible households.
"I am extremely pleased to know that some of my constituents most in need will soon enjoy the benefits of a new or substantially improved home," said Representative Kleinschmidt who joined the Department in announcing the award. "This assistance helps residents who can no longer afford to make the needed improvements to their home that guarantee a safe and healthy living environment. I encourage TDHCA to continue its commitment to maintaining homeownership in rural portions of our state."
"By repairing deteriorating homes, we are not only helping maintain homeownership for more families, we are also helping maintain the vitality of rural Texas communities," noted Michael Gerber, TDHCA Executive Director. "Repairing the homes of low income households also benefits the regional economy through an influx of construction payroll salaries and increased taxes and fees that help fund essential public services. This is a win-win program for both Columbus and the state."
TDHCA awards home repair funds to qualifying applicants through the Department's HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, which helps repair or replace homes owned and lived in by low income homeowners.
Assistance may include roof repair or replacement, as well as repairs to the electrical and plumbing systems. If a home has deteriorated to the point it no longer is cost effective to repair, it may be demolished and replaced with either a traditional "site built" home or a manufactured home.
Qualifying applicants include eligible cities and counties, public housing authorities, Community Housing Development Organizations and other nonprofit housing groups, and certain for-profit organizations which then work with eligible households at the local level.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the funding source for the HOME Program. The program serves households earning no more than 80 percent of the area median family income, which for Columbus equals an annual income of $42,300 for a family for four. For more information about this award, please contact the city directly at (979) 732-2366.
About the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs
The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs is committed to expanding fair housing choice and opportunities for Texans through the administration and funding of affordable housing and homeownership opportunities, weatherization, and community-based services with the help of for-profits, nonprofits, and local governments.

He wasn't giving sworn testimony at the time, but rather making claims (which, ideally would be supported by the evidentiary record and/or case law) and arguing various things. He seemed to want to move on beyond the narrow issue of case reinstatement, which is where the "Patriot Act" came in. The judges also seemed fully aware that he was not admitted to the bar and I assume this means he can't face professional sanction for any statement at odds with reality.

Oh, and there is media now available of the hearing at: http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/vi..._id=0000005753
It seems during the writing and transcribing, I may have gotten the arguments somewhat out of order, but the pieces are all there.

Suitable for Fisking, here is the labor of a week
Unofficial transcript of hearing of 08-17389 which is the appeal of the ruling by Judge Gillmor which dismissed the case of Luis Sancho and Walter Wagner versus US Dept. of Energy, National Science Foundation, etc. concluding that "The Court lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate this action. Defendants Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 14) is GRANTED."
Held 9:00 AM Hawaiian Standard Time at Suite 601 at 1132 Bishop Street, Honolulu, Hawaii.
J1: Betty Binns Fletcher

J3: Richard R. Clifton
WW: Walter Wagner
LS: Luis Sancho
JA: John Arbab
00:00 WW: Your Honor, I'm Walter Wagner. I'm one of the plaintiffs (for?) Luis Sancho, sitting there. We want to spend our time, five minutes each, maybe a little less. We flipped a coin, I go first.

One can't operate without the others. So the United States operates two of those experimental chambers and continues funding on that. In addition, the equipment that the United States has already funded -- paid for -- that is sitting there, the United States has an obligation to maintain that should there be repairs, and so forth, of that equipment for the machine itself.

03:22: WW: We don't know what they would do. They might continue, but they would not be able to continue in the manner in which they are doing. The United States additionally has jurisdiction, Your Honor, under the Patriot Act, and under the United States Code Section 831 over nuclear substances, where the United States can intervene in actions in foreign countries, that involve threats to US Citizens, involving nuclear materials. And this essentially what this is, they are ..

04:39: WW: The source of the authority for this court to use is the NEPA, Your Honor, as is detailed in the briefing, The National Environmental Protection Act. This is essentially the same source of authority that would give this court jurisdiction over British Petroleum when they sought to obtain a drilling permit from the Marine Management Service, arguing that they should be exempted from NEPA because of the unlikely scenario of having environmental disaster and that argument has ..

If there is a stream of black holes or stranglets in this machine, there is no way to stop that, there is no safety measure taken by this company. That's why the company is denying the risk.
06:36: LS: I want to stress four points. The truth, the explosive truth about this machine, is that is it both a research machine and experimental weapon, in the sense that this machines are used to create nuclear explosives and exotic particles that come out of that.

11:11: WW: No, that's not what I'm saying. The standing arises from the fact that this activity in Switzerland will affect me here in the United States, even here in Hawaii where the suit was filed because this .. should it create this kind of a condition of creating strangelets it would affect me here in Hawaii. And that's what gives me standing. Not the fact that they're doing something in Switzerland, but that what they're doing in Switzerland can affect me here in Hawaii. That's what gives us standing.

A newborn stranglet could engulf atomic nuclei growing relentlessly and ultimately consuming the entire Earth." Okay, that was from the Amici Curiae Sheldon Glashow and Robert Wilson co-authored a paper "Taking Serious Risks Seriously" in Nature Magazine that was then quoted in the Amicus brief. From that ..

Originally Posted by Critic

15:52: JA: I would like to because that's the first issue that really must be addressed. As we discuss in the brief, there's a serious standing problem with the plaintiffs ability to bring the suits based on redressibility and causation requirements of Article III standing. The basic problem is that the suit seeks an order from a Federal Court enjoining further operation of the LHC. The problem is that the only entity with authority to do that is not any of the Federal defendants, but CERN, who is not a defendant in this case. So the harm.. the alleged harm.. the operation of the LHC is not fairly traceable to either of the Federal appellees.
16:40: J1: Can you explain to us the structure and what participation the United States has. Apparently, it operates a couple of experimental laboratories.
16:53: JA: Your Honor, there's some confusion in the briefing about this but I think the facts are pretty simple. According to the record,
17:00: J2: Speak up just a little.
17:02: JA: The facts are pretty simple. There's been some confusion in the briefing about this point. First of all, as the District Court found, the two Federal agencies here, the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation, contributed a very small amount of the total construction costs of the LHC. Less than ten percent.
17:22: J3: A very small proportion. I have difficulty saying it's a small amount. It's over a half billion dollars.
17:30: JA: It's about five hundred and thirty million dollars, Your Honor, but under the Circuit's case law, the relevant comparison is not just the figure in the abstract, it's how it measures up compared to the total expenditure of all parties, including the non-Federal contributors. And here, as in many of the Court's cases, like Rattlesnake Coalition, Ka Makani, Friends of the Earth, the percentage of the Government's contribution is ..
17:56: J3: Is there any case where the number of dollars is in nine digits that's been held to not be a Major Federal Action?
18:04: J3: I just don't think that's your strong point with regard to standing.
18:07: JA: Your Honor, the .. this issue would not go to standing. This goes to whether the LHC is a Major Federal Action, which would be the merits issue, assuming that one of the plaintiffs had standing.
18:20: J2: You were talking about standing.
18:22: JA: Yes, I was just answering Judge Fletcher's question as to the exact nature of the Government's involvement in the project. So there's the construction .. the small percentage of construction funding which is less than ten percent. And the relevance of that is, as I said, Major Federal Action is not indicated where such a small percentage is Federal funding.
18:42: J1: I guess I'm more interested in what operational things that it currently is doing.
18:48: JA: Yes, Your Honor. As we discussed in the brief, and is detailed in the Declaration of Doctor Strauss, the Department of Energy has, subject to funding from Congress, has in the past, in Fiscal Year 2009, allocated some monies towards support of US scientists doing research on two of the four detectors. But that's completely unrelated to the graviment of the suit which is that the Plaintiffs don't want the accelerator itself to operate. The accelerator operates irrespective of whether the US scientists participate in research on two of the four detectors. And that's quite clear from the Strauss Declaration. He states that even if ..
19:42: J2: Could you speak a little louder?
19:43: JA: Yes, Your Honor.
19:42: J2: There's been a Big Bang, and all I hear is a whisper.
19:47: JA: I'm sorry. The Strauss Declaration makes clear that even if the US scientists, who were doing research on the two of the four detectors, packed their bags and went home tomorrow the LHC would still continue to operate. It's not as if this kind of support for US researchers has any effect on whether the LHC will continue to operate or not. So that fact is relevant for two reasons. As to standing, it only reinforces the problem with repressibility and causation. And, secondly, it also reinforces the point that the LHC is not a Major Federal Action because it indicates that Federal agencies have no control or authority over whether the LHC continues to operate. They fund some scientists doing research on the detectors, and that's it.
20:45: JA: So, based on the record that was compiled before the District Court, it's quite clear that neither plaintiff had standing even assuming that Mister Sancho is still an appellant, involved in the case on appeal.
21:08: JA: I think the only other point that I would like to make, unless there are further questions, goes to the Major Federal Action question. Even assuming that at least one of the Plaintiffs had standing to bring the suit, they're asking that NEPA be applied here. And NEPA is not applied, does not even trigger, unless the project at issue is a so-called Major Federal Action under the text of NEPA.
21:38: JA: Here the District Court properly found that the two important guideposts come to make a Major Federal Action question cut in favor of a conclusion that the LHC is not a Major Federal Action. Again the first factor being the minimal amount of Federal funding as a percentage of the whole, and secondly the fact that the Federal agencies have no control over the operation or management of the LHC, that authority being vested exclusively in CERN, who was not even a Defendant here.
22:13: JA: So unless there are further questions, I would just ask that the judgement below be affirmed.
22:22: J2: (aside) Do you have another question?
22:24: J2: Thank you.
22:25: JA: Thank you.
22:28: WW: I'm not certain if I used up our ten minutes. I would like to take one minute for rebuttal, if I may?

22:42: WW: The (unintelligible) is a defendant. CERN is a defendant. CERN as a defendant defaulted at the trial court level -- did not appear in court -- but it is a defendant. And basically, they did not want to show up and argue their case. So..

24:20: J3: You just told me somebody else could fund that.
24:23: WW: May.. (elbow!)
24:27: LS: According to the administrative rules of CERN if this huge quantity of five hundred.. half billion dollars disappears, it will be entirely settled of all the systems. It will have to appear money from the European Union which is not very interested in giving more money for this thing. And so it will really halt the machine and put the issue into the scientific community. So it will really effect tremendously this machine. It won't work.

The fraudulent criminal charge lodged 2-1/2 years ago, referenced throughout this thread, was dismissed today as to both parties. This sets the stage for pending civil actions against the people who were lying to the judiciary to initiate the fraudulent charge.
And this is the sore point I have had since 2006 -- where is the positive case for Article III standing? Where is the concrete, non-speculative, redressable case that the LHC will cause damages? There is none. Article III standing is complicated because it rests on about 200 years of interpretation of the Constitution, but ultimately this case should be about physics. How is the LHC dangerous? Under that model, how dangerous is it?
Instead of physics models, we get ephemeral and undefined buzzwords. We get "black hole" by which sometimes the Plaintiffs mean "GR black hole of the type that everyone acknowledges is impossible to be dangerous" and sometimes they mean "chargeless, spinless, high-dimensional quantum black hole that for unexplained fundamental reasons lack Hawking radiation and have in addition some magical property of only being formed and dangerous when created by Man" . By "strangelet" they mean "unevidenced stable, negatively-charged collection of 10-90 mostly down and strange quarks that can form at from the matter-antimatter soup of multi-TeV collisions and can remain negative and grow without limit upon contact with nuclear matter and yet leave to the history of observation no evidence in nature."
Instead we get a failure to argue why NEPA applies when the District court said it didn't. We get a failure to establish that 18 USC 831 covers anything at the LHC, and a failure to support the view of the Patriot Act.

Update -- For Bizarre reasons given what the appellate court was asked to decide, after the hearing Wagner filed again, citing http://arxiv.org/abs/1006.2198v1 , and claiming is was a "peer-reviewed scientific law article" showing "scientific uncertainty". Apparently, Wagner thinks this gives him standing. (Article III Standing and the Hague Convention are two legal subjects I think Wagner can't speak articulately on.) In version one of the paper, the Abstract contains "If this Hawking decay is not universal, some black holes can live long enough to penetrate into the Earth and grow dangerously," and yet the topic of black hole growth is not addressed. Indeed, while Giddings and Mangano is cited as a peer-reviewed paper, the author of the present paper thinks this work is about meta-stable black holes, when in fact it is about down-right magical stable black holes.
Yesterday, John Arbab (Goverment lawyer) cites the usual arxiv page that says stuff on Arxiv is not necessarily peer-reviewed. That's a job of scientific journals of good repute, not arxiv or its endorsers. http://arxiv.org/help/endorsement
Indeed, on June 28 the author put the lie to the claim of peer review by posting an updated version of the paper. They cleaned up the abstract considerably. But they still haven't understood even the topic of Giddings and Mangano, and to my eye it looks like a mish-mash of upper division thermodynamics, salted with equations from black hole papers and Newtonian physics. The author in both versions suggests controlling the "impact parameter" as a way of exerting control on the black hole state.
// Update2 -- The author, is the director of an engineering research unit (with lamentably stale web pages, even in Korean) at the University of Seoul. The group is focused on quantum computing which explains some of the unfamiliarity of collider experiments. I still think his thinking on the "internal state" of a black hole is muddy.

'Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have seen several candidates for the heaviest elementary particle known to science.
If the observations are confirmed, it would be a first for Europe; so far, the top quark particle has only been generated by one lab in the US."
FROM: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-10746900
You see -- that's just evidence that the laws of nature are the same everywhere -- one of the foundations of both Newtonian physics and the LHC safety arguments.
Unrelated but for same-courtroom, same-day, and same-judges. The criminal appeal which was held with the most lawyers on that day, has been decided.
I remember that the N-1 attorneys representing N clients were having a discussion on sharing the podium. Would one laywer get 2t/N or would all be content with t/(N-1) ? Sadly, I left to return to downtown Honolulu and a walk to Waikiki so I never found out.
Oh. In actually related matter, Wagner files more incorrect statements of fact with regard to arxiv.org. The letter was received on Friday.
- Wagner makes new claims of fact, but does not submit them under oath.
- Nor does he supply references.
- Nor does he update his "Legal room" so in effect, I have scooped Wagner in reporting on his own activities on a letter he wrote on July 20th.
+ Wagner uses the preferred capitalization and gives a pronunciation guide for "arXiv"
- Wagner says that arXiv was established because the high volume of "quality papers" exceeds the capacity of "traditional publication in peer-reviewed journals."
But the actual history of arXiv.org begins with Los Alamos at least far back as 1991 and is not intended as a substitute for peer-review and publication, but as a high-speed, automated, and lightly-moderated means of "dissemination" http://people.ccmr.cornell.edu/~gins...sep96news.html
There is a tongue-in-cheek reference both to assessing charges and automated paper valuation which date back to 1991. Not everyone got the joke. http://arxiv.org/new/91-94.html NSF funding started in March 1995, and the current name dates to December 1998. The current era of "endorsement" of authors as appropriate posters in specific fields dates to January 2004 and the John Arbab-supplied link is exactly correct in that there is no peer-review.
- Wagner, without evidence, claims "many if not most papers published in journals" appear on arXiv and yet this ignores the large area of scientific disciplines which have not yet found a happy home on arXiv.org.
+ Wagner indicates arXiv is a pre-print server when he indicates that when the papers appear on arXiv first, publication in a journal comes "months to years later"
- Wagner doesn't call out that this expectation of appearing in a journal is speculative and in some cases, like authors with poor performance, unjustified.
- Wagner doesn't call out that indeed the paper which he started this exchange with Mr. Arbab has already been superseded, and therefore the paper is never going to appear in print as he submitted it to the Court.
- Wagner fails to understand the on-line description of the endorsement process in that it is an endorsement of authors with respect to certain whole areas of science, not of individual papers.
- Contrary to Wagner's claims of what the endorsement prevents, examples of "self-publication" and "quack science" abound on arXiv.org.
+ Wagner calls the policies of viXra as inferior to arXiv.org in this respect.
- Wagner claims the already-revised paper as a proof only of ongoing "legitimate scientific debate." Yet this is precisely what his misunderstanding of arXiv.org undermines.
- Wagner claims that the fact (I will stipulate to this) not 100% of people who write papers have the exact same opinion actually gives rise to risk. That is not how natural law or risk management works. The universe doesn't care that different people have different opinions on what will happen in the future or the details of natural law. Also everyone lives in the same universe. So if not 100% of people have the same opinion on a question of natural law, the fault, Dear Wagner, is not in the stars but in ourselves. Different people have different levels of demonstrated understanding of different areas of physical law. Risk management only cares what the best of those say. Personal ignorance does not give rise to a claim against another.
- Finally, Wagner tries to claim that this single, now-revised paper, gives rise to his Article III standing because the risk is "inherent" when the paper doesn't calculate the risk and doesn't even address the arguments of Giddings and Mangano which it mischaracterizes.

True, the original Ahn article was revised and resubmitted to arXiv about two weeks after its original submission. Here's the abstract as it originally read, and as it now reads:
"Abstract: Microscopic black holes with mass in the TeV range to be produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) should undergo the prompt and quasi-thermal evaporation by emitting Hawking radiation. If this Hawking decay is not universal, some black holes can live long enough to penetrate into the Earth and grow dangerously. At present, the effects of black hole internal quantum state evolution on the evaporation are not well understood. This study shows that Hawking decay could be suppressed when the black hole internal matter state is in the coherent state. In this case, black holes created in the LHC may live long enough to grow catastrophically. The condition to avoid this catastrophic situation is also discussed. Our results demonstrate that the black hole evaporation is strongly dependent on the black hole internal quantum state and its evolution."
"Microscopic black holes with mass in the TeV range to be produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) should undergo the prompt and quasi-thermal evaporation by emitting Hawking radiation. In this study, we show that Hawking decay could be suppressed when the black hole internal matter state is in the coherent state. In this case, black holes created in the LHC may have substantially long lifetimes."
Please note that I am not associated with the author, and had no knowledge of his efforts prior to submission.
The Letter I wrote to the court countering the Arbab letter was only about 1/3rd the length of the rpenner "Review" of my Letter. It would be better for rpenner to simply publish that letter (it is, after all, public record) rather than make all of his fanciful proclamations, and simply let this readership judge for themselves. It was kept very abbreviated for a reason, and such abbreviation sometimes makes it difficult to give a full explanation. It served its purpose in countering the Arbab letter, which is all it was intended to do.

My post might be long, but it is the length required to address the issues raised in your letter. You, who have the computer original, are in a far better place to render an ASCII or web equivalent post for this thread or to post it on your website and I would link to it. The PDF of the clerk-scanned letter to the court looks rather shoddy.
The Arbab letter ( see my post above for July 13 ) has the uncontested citation of what the arXiv.org maintainers claim their endorsement policy is and isn't. That you dispute plain text interpretation is not admissible as evidence as it appears in your unsworn letter and concerns the intent of a body which doesn't have you as even a member, let alone an authorized spokesperson.
Professor and Director Ahn's paper is still in need of revision in my opinion, however. In particular, the current paper does nothing to rebut Giddings and Mangano and mischaracterizes the paper as concerned with meta-stable black holes, when Giddings and Mangano focus on hypothetical stable and uncharged black holes and their eating rates in uniform fluids. As Ahn's paper doesn't discuss the care and feeding of black holes, and importantly doesn't describe the effect of the capture of the smallest fermion on the hypothetically important pure states, his paper(past and current drafts) is not yet relevant in addressing safety.

I thank you for the long post it has helped bring me up to speed a bit. I would first like to apologize to you for our previous encounters and my wild writing. and I see that no harm can come from the LHC's. they are only particle accelerators of corse.
Still waiting for news from the Appellate court. Just a reminder that the best possible outcome for Wagner and Sancho is that they will have to demonstrate that the LHC threatens the world in a non-speculative manner at the District level. The continuing refusals to talk about the science behind their end-of-the-world claims seems to indicate they don't have a basis for any such claims.
But while we wait for the judgement from Pregerson whose lifetime commitment to serving his country perhaps began with Pearl Harbor, scant miles from the courtroom where he was exposed to Wagner's smug superiority in the face of his lack of competence, perhaps some good news for Wagner -- press clippings.
Deputy Prosecutor Jason Skier said the case was dismissed last month without prejudice due to a technicality.
The Wagners could be recharged.
Complete with a snarky comment from "County Retiree"
// Edit: Also http://www.leagle.com/unsecure/news....ryid=148514882
Wagner has not said I got one word wrong in the transcript. Wagner has not updated his "Legal Room" since 2008 to post his own court documents. Wagner has not replied to material attacks on his legal, logical, and scientific grounding.

Short and sweet -- here it is. Yesterday's decision in appellate court. http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastor...4/08-17389.pdf
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii
Helen Gillmor, Senior District Judge, Presiding
Argued and Submitted June 17, 2010
Honolulu, Hawaii
Before: B. FLETCHER, PREGERSON and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.
Walter L. Wagner (Wagner) appeals the district courts dismissal of his claim against the United States Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation (collectively, the U.S. government), and others. The parties are familiar with the facts of this case, which we repeat here only to the extent necessary to explain our decision. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
This court can affirm on any ground supported by the record. Cook v. AVI Casino Enters., Inc., 548 F.3d 718, 722 (9th Cir. 2008). We review questions of standing de novo, Mayfield v. United States, 599 F.3d 964, 970 (9th Cir. 2010), and factual findings for clear error. Robinson v. United States, 586 F.3d 683, 685 (9th Cir. 2009). To establish standing, Wagner must demonstrate (1) an injury in fact, (2) a causal connection between the injury and the conduct complained of that is not attributable to the independent action of some third party not before the court, and (3) a likelihood that a favorable decision will redress the injury. Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-61 (1992).
Wagner cannot demonstrate that he has standing. A plaintiff alleging a procedural injury, such as Wagner, must still establish injury in fact. See Laub v. U.S. Dept. of Interior, 342 F.3d 1080, 1086 (9th Cir. 2003). Injury in fact requires some credible threat of harm. Cent. Delta Water Agency v. United States, 306 F.3d 938, 950 (9th Cir. 2002). At most, Wagner has alleged that experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (the Collider) have potential adverse consequences. Speculative fear of future harm does not constitute an injury in fact sufficient to confer standing. Mayfield, 599 F.3d at 970.
Even if Wagner has demonstrated injury in fact, he nevertheless fails to satisfy the causality or redressability prongs set out in Lujan. The European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) proposed and constructed the Collider, albeit with some U.S. government support. The U.S. government enjoys only observer status on the CERN council, and has no control over CERN or its operations. Accordingly, the alleged injury, destruction of the earth, is in no way attributable to the U.S. governments failure to draft an environmental impact statement.
CERN maintains total ownership, management, and operational control of the Collider. CERN has never been properly served, and is not a party to this case. Even if this court were to render a decision in Wagners favor, such a decision would have no impact on CERN or Collider operations, and would not afford Wagner the relief he seeks. [[Because our determination of standing is not dependent on the identity of the Appellant, we need not address whether Luis Sancho is a party to this appeal.]]

Hello. While looking for news coverage of this result, I found this unattributed post. But it looks to me like the writing style of Luis Sancho.
What do you think?
// Update, I'm not sure, but it looks like Luis Sancho is indeed taking credit for the post which he claims also appeared on leagal.com

I see, and know he is a frequent poster here..
After a study on his subjects he poses, have very little influence on the subjects you persecute the man of. I take it, that Rpenner, and the rest of you who have given a little, hardly understand that the positions you take are actually taken as real evidence?
As much as it's easy to scathe things from the vast internet, I find it almost ''animalstic''.. What are you guys trying to prove now? I've heard all this news before, and now it's old.\
It's like Pauls thread. It should be locked now.
This thread has somewhat better descriptions of what went on in September 2008, June 2010 and August 2010 in this trial than news sources -- because very few pay attention to both physics and the law.
Before the lawsuit began I told WLW it was a poorly planned idea. When I read that WLW was soliciting donations and seeking 501 tax-free certification, I didn't think he was going about this the right way. When someone claimed to have donated $2000 and yet there was no sign of financial disclosures or fiduciary duty to the stated cause, I asked questions that have gone unanswered for years. My physics questions on page one of this thread have gone unanswered for years. My legal questions about expert witnesses have gone unanswered for years. My questions about the death of the Indian girl who committed suicide have gone unanswered.
The safety argument for LHC is complex, because all of the disaster scenarios are based on completely unevidenced objects and events, and to argue against them you have to cast such objects and disasters into rigorous forms on which to do physics with and then use the negative evidence of hundreds of years of observation to demonstrate that such objects (1) cannot exist in this universe, (2) cannot be formed at the LHC or (3) cannot be dangerous in the manner suggested. That's a complex argument and while it can be followed by a talented high schooler, you actually need rather deep results from both theoretical physics and experimental physics to argue for either side. In this WLW and Luis Sancho have failed to present a case. They have simply named objects and named disasters, but never argued that evidence and reason leads one to the conclusions that such objects can be formed at the LHC and will cause disaster.
Giddings and Mangano (2008) on the other hand have described the demise of the Earth via a hypothetical magically uncharged, magically stable black-hole-like object. Such an object, if possible, will eat the Earth, certainly, but in a time scale that is long compared to the period between major asteroid strikes and the boiling of the oceans caused by the expansion of the sun.
I can't speak for any other "guys" but as to what I would like to prove:
1) Neither WLW nor Luis Sancho is a physicist or lawyer, and no physical truth motivates what they say,
2) WLW really did collect funds in excess of $2000, under guise of setting up a 501(c) non-profit to persecute the LHC, and
3) WLW did not accomplish 501(c) status, and left no paper trail that he tried.
If I am wrong about any one of these ideas, it would be trivial for WLW to convince me. WLW could present a single disaster scenario in detail -- he's been working on the strangelets angle since 1999. He could write up an argument which was at least aware of Article III standing to sue and the Hague convention to at least show that he was legitimately surprised by the August 2010 ruling on service to CERN and his inability to show standing. A 501(c) is required to keep detailed records and it's in the public interest to make some of them public. WLW runs a website, which went neglected for years.
Being critical of WLW is by no means the same as "persecuting" him.

Santa Stops Here to Claim His Snow!
When it's winter time and you have nothing else to do other than building a snow man, making snow angels and having a snow fight, take two levels higher. If you want challenging and not-so-ordinary sports, try winter or snow sports. These are the kinds of activities that you do not usually do, but gives you double times the fun and enjoyment. You can go skiing, sledding or skating, or other variations of these sports. You can try skiing first. This is a means of travelling above snow with skis secured to both feet. These skis are attached to boots; and the person can used ski stocks to maintain balance and to create force. One kind of skiing, http://www.directtelevisionpackages.com, the Alpine skiing, involves skiing downhill. Second, go sledding. There are generic and competitive kinds of sledding, but if you want to be safe and it's your first time, go for the generic one. Generic sledding is sliding down the snowy hill with metal runners and flexible flyer connected to wooden planks. You can also use improvised sleds such as cafeteria trays and cardboard. Lastly, you can go ice skating. This kind of sport can be beneficial to the health and can be very pleasurable to do. You can do this on frozen bodies of water, or on specially made outdoor tracks. Make sure you have someone with you to assist you, because balancing on ice requires an amount of time. What's 1 more click? Your boss isn't watching… After-Dinner Texts (Skiing in Utah)
Snowbird? Snowboard? Live Your Snow Life Now!
Winter is still here for a few more months, and there are plenty of places offering specials for consumers seeking to go skiing or snowboarding before the warmer seasons come. If you are thinking about taking a different kind of vacation than the usual trip to the beach, now is the time to act. Contact your local travel agent to plan your snow-related activities before time runs out.

Best Travel Destinations for Snow Sports
It can be rather difficult to pick a destination for your winter sport activities, there are just far too many all over the world. We've seen them in magazine, on TV, on the internet at www.expertsatellite.com, and in person. Here is a brief list of some of the best travel destinations for winter sports, whether you're an advanced snowboarder or novice skier, there is something for you.
Aspen, Colorado, United States
Aspen has been a famous winter sport area for more than half a century. You should try to make it at least one time in your sporting lifetime. One of the great things about Aspen is the many things to do with friends and family who are not rabid fans of winter sports. That fact may be one reason that Aspen is so popular with so many people from all over the world, not just those looking to hit the slopes.
Whistler Blackcomb, Canada
One of the world's best family winter sports locations is the Whistler Blackcomb area in Canada. Many of the resort facilities at Whistler have been tailored especially for families with younger children. At both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, winter sport areas have special sections set aside for winter sport beginners to enthusiasts to children.
Beaver Creek, Colorado, United States
Beaver Creek is another great winter sport area that loves to host families. For almost two months each winter season there are special activities and rates, especially designed to attract family groups. Most popular are the mid-afternoon free cookie snacks and storytelling on the mountain tops, both of which are big hits with younger skiers.
Club Med Resorts – Japan – Europe – China
Club Med is the best place to experience an all-inclusive winter sport resort experience. Even winter sport equipment is included in the price. A full range of programs, including lessons for all ages, are available at Club Med winter sports resorts.
Mammoth, California, United States
Another great snow sport destination. Mammoth is the top choice for serious snowboarders in the United States. One reason is a wide range of facilities that caters to snowboarders of all experience levels, but there are also easier trails for those less advanced.
There are hundreds more spots all over, these are just a few to get you started and to give you an idea of what's out there and what features you may want in a winter travel destination.
Experience a Life-Time of Fun. Try Snowmobiling.
Unfortunately there are some adults who think you have to be an athlete–or at least willing to go flying down a mountain with wood strapped to your feet"in order to enjoy outdoor winter fun. These people have not yet discovered snowmobiling, and how you don't have to be in much shape at all to go outside and play in the snow.
What better way to appreciate the majestic winter beauty unique to colder climates than by cruising around gleefully on (more…)
Snowboard Addicts Are Welcome All Year-Round.
Snowboarding and skiing are great sports to engage in anytime of the year. These have become more popular, especially snowboarding, in the present time and give an athlete a great challenge all year round.
There are many types of snowboarding styles for a person to choose from. Here are just a few of the many styles that can be pursued:
. Freeriding – You ride on man-made terrain and the course includes jumps, riding on rails and half-pipes. This is all done on groomed snow.
. Freestyle – This is done on (more…)
Have You Been Across The Waves? Snow Is Much Smoother!
Extreme sports can take place in any sort of environment–land, air, or sea. Many athletes of the sea, especially surfers, claim the ocean as their home as if they were mermen and mermaids. However, those who choose to limit themselves to just the ocean are missing out on the smooth slopes of a snowy mountain.
Waves move and crash, and the ocean is infested with dangerous animals such as sharks and sting rays. The ski slopes, however, (more…)
Tired of the Sun? Claim your Glow in the Snow!
If you've had your feel of the scorching sun, consider entertaining yourself with some activities that will take you away from the sun and place you in the cool snow. There are many activities such as snowboarding, snow skiing or even snow mobiling.
You'll find that changing from those sunny activities to the cooler snow activities might be so much more refreshing. It may be just the change that you are looking for. A cool day on the mountains may be more (more…)
It's Time to Rule the Ice. Speak Snow!
When it's winter time and you have nothing else to do other than building a snow man, making snow angels and having a snow fight, take two levels higher. If you want challenging and not-so-ordinary sports, try winter or snow sports. These are the kinds of activities that you do not usually do, but gives you double times the fun and enjoyment.

JJ Arrives In Portoroz
Published July 20, 2010 12:00
PORTOROZ, Slovenia - World No.2 Jelena Jankovic is counting on the hardcourts in Portoroz to help her get back into top form for the US Open following a three week lay-off due to a back injury from Wimbledon.
Playing at the Banka Koper Slovenia Open will be foremost an opportunity to prepare for the next major goal for the 25-year-old Serb - the last Grand Slam of the year in Flushing Meadows, where she was a finalist in 2008.
"Portoroz has a great slot on the calendar, being the first tournament on hardcourt after Wimbledon. I'm using it as a warm-up for the US Open, with my top aim being to get back into the same form I was in before the injury."
On her US Open goals, Jankovic said, "My expectations are always high given that I've already been No.1. If I play my game, the results will come."
Jankovic, who opened her Portoroz campaign with a win in the doubles with compatriot Aleksandra Krunic on Monday, said she was enjoying her time at the Slovenian seaside resort: "I've been wanting to play at this tournament for some time. Now it's my first time, and I'm really enjoying myself," she said, adding that she was particularly happy her family and boyfriend could be here.
And when she is not training hard, the Belgrade-born star has taken some relaxation time. "I was at the beach, did some shopping and went for a trip to Italy. It's never nice to come back empty-handed so I bought some bikinis and dresses, while we all got some headgear to protect ourselves from the sun."

As the saying goes, build it and they will come. Or in the case of Jerry the Bear, make it cuddly and children will flock to it. The invention of two recent Northwestern University graduates that teaches children how to take charge of their type 1 diabetes coincides with a boom in the childproofing industry that includes everything from child-safe locks to professional in-home childproofing assessments.
If this seems like an odd industry to be seeing such an explosion, consider all the opportunities for growth. There will always be a market for parents to protect their children, and it's one that requires continuous creativity and innovation. Couple that with the boom in mommy blogs and celebrity parenting news, and there's no end to the possibilities. And you don't have to be a mom to take part or care. The same goes for young entrepreneurs of any field. If it serves a greater good and has yet to be made, a golden opportunity awaits.
Jerry is the brainchild of Hannah Chung and Aaron Horowitz, engineering students who created the bear for Northwestern University's Design for America Project. The theme that year was helping those with diabetes. The students knew they wanted to help children, but had to figure out what it was that was missing in the health and wellness market and in the lives of children.
When designing Jerry, the creators carved a niche; at the time, there were few products on the market for children to help them cope with their disease, let alone any that were also entertaining. It was especially needed, seeing as the disease is diagnosed in the range of from 3 to 6 years old, Chung said. She described their research and development as "human-centered design and user observation."
What they created took their research to a new level.
"Jerry is entirely interactive," said Horowitz, chief executive officer and chief hardware officer. "Kids take care of him much the same way that kids take care of themselves."
Kids can inject their bears with pretend insulin and play educational games, all while keeping track of their progress.
"Here's this medium and a tool that kids are so familiar with," Horowitz said. With diabetes, "kids are faced with a whole host of complicated information that they have to learn."
Product research involved talking to experts such as endocrinologists and other health care providers. But the most important pundits were the kids who would benefit from their invention. The inventors regularly saw children clutching their teddy bears, which ultimately served as inspiration.
"The best advice for creating a product which actually serves a purpose is to talk to people before you even start designing," said Chung, the chief creative officer and chief testing officer. "Talk to people who are actually going to use it."
Even though products like Jerry the Bear are certainly innovative, designing a successful, new product does not require re-inventing the wheel. Rather, it's important to be sensitive and open to people's needs. Like in the childproofing industry, there's always room for expansion. The next steps for Chung and Horowitz are creating toys to tackle asthma and obesity in children.
"We want to continue this process of improving the lives of children with chronic illness," Chung said.
Be it window guards or talking teddy bears, there's a niche market out there waiting to be utilized. The industry might not be the most glamorous or obvious to the eager young entrepreneur, but it could have a big payoff in terms of social capital.
"It's about creating a product that serves a human need," said Chung.

Lord of the Flies
Ralph and Jack looked at each other while society paused about them. The shameful knowledge grew in them and they did not know how to begin confession.
Ralph spoke first, crimson in the face.
"Will you?"
He cleared his throat and went on.
"Will you light the fire?" (2)
When the story begins, Jack and Ralph are such civilized lads that they don't even know how to start a fire without a match. Someone's not getting the wilderness survival badge.
There was a space round Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which [Roger] dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. (4.14)
"The old life" is civilization. Roger is losing it, but he isn't quite gone. Civilization and all its rules are still holding him back—for now. In a few more chapters, it'll be all savage, all the time.
Piggy was […] so full of pride in his contribution to the good of society […] that he helped to fetch wood. (8.118)
Ugh, Piggy, you're breaking our hearts. He's basically the only person who seems to care about the "good of society," so naturally he ends up dead. Without people who care about the common good, you don't have much of a civilization.

MARSHFIELD, Wis. (WSAU) - A history exhibit honoring Marshfield's veterans will be closing, at least for now. Museum director Shirley Mook says the "Lest We Forget" exhibit at the Thomas House History Center will need to close it's doors after Veterans Day, since the donated space will no longer be available. Mook says, unfortunately, another home for the exhibit has yet to materialize.
The exhibit honors city residents who have served in the military since the Civil War, and has received rave reviews from visitors from across the United States, and even around the world. According to Mook, "Everyone that comes down here is astounded at what we have here, and so we would certainly like as many people as possible to see it intact, as it is." To accommodate those who wish to see the exhibit before it closes, the hours of operation will be expanded during its final weeks of operation to: Wednesdays 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Thursdays 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturdays 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The exhibit will be open from 12 noon until 4 p.m. on its final day of operation, Veterans Day.
Anyone with ideas for a new home for the museum are asked to call 715-384-5867.

A guest from LA, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in August, 2013
Overall it was a good experiance, just a few small things...the parking garage was small. Barelly had enough room to open my car door. The owner had the garage full of their stuff so we didn't have a place to put our bikes. Also the owners had friends staying over and they blocked us from getting in. There was contrustion going on next door so from time to time i'd look outside my window to see a construction worker walking by. The workers started rather early, since we have a 18month old we were already up but if we didn't and wanted to sleep in we'd be upset. The bed was not comforable but you can say that about most retails.

Stayed for 7 days in July, 2012
We loved our little place. For a 1 bedroom there was ample sleeping spots on the 3 soft couches. Kitchen could have used a bowl, a knife and a blender! But overall it was nice. The patio was pretty rundown but it's in the sand! We got a good discount due to construction next door .

As the two-month anniversary of the Newtown shooting approaches, the Morris Area Committee to Reduce Gun Violence has scheduled an anti-gun violence vigil and rally called "Have a Heart—Take a Stand" on Feb. 14.
The rally is to encourage common sense gun laws at the local, state and federal levels in order to reduce gun violence.
According to a press statement by the Morris Area Committee to Reduce Gun Violence, those who attend the rally are encouraged to design decorative hearts to wear on their clothes with the names of children they love. The heart project is in solidarity with the One Million Moms campaign entitled, "How do you wear your heart?"
Rev. Alison Miller of the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship, who was a victim of gun violence when she was only 4 years old, will speak at the rally, as well Pastor Sidney Williams, a member of the Morris Area Clergy Council, and a pediatric ER doctor from Atlantic Health.
The rally will take place on the Morristown Green at 5 p.m., Feb. 14. Participants are encouraged to bring their own candles, flashlights and/or glow sticks.

- Outstanding views with great food!NoC00kingDined on 9/22/2014A Caprice has drop-dead gorgeous views of SF Bay, SF and the Golden Gate Bridge as well as surrounding, hills AND the food was delicious! There were organic heirloom tomatoes from their garden (oh my gosh - amazing!) My grilled scallops were perfect; the sides were just right, and wait! Did I mention the Cosmo? It was the best - not too sweet - wow! The server and the hostess were both very welcoming, pleasant and accommodating. We will certainly be going back, and Monday is prime rib night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- just about perfectSantaCruzdinerDined on 9/20/2014Our small party got an out of the way table that had incredible views of the Golden Gate by starlight. Our waiter was totally charming and attentive. My friend's sole almondine was a bit overcooked, but my scallops were perfect, but our crab cakes were tepid and not too crisp. The food came out fast too! Great mojitos, which surprised us and a nice wine selection. All in all, a fantastic meal.Special Features:
- Nice but Very Noisy!ValskiDined on 9/20/2014We went for a romantic dinner for 2 to celebrate my husband's B'day before spending it with the family the next night. Easy to get to, even from the East Bay, great that there is Valet parking. Have Reservations! They do not turn tables quickly here and you could be waiting for ages. Service was acceptable but NOT exceptional. My salad and halibut were fabulous. My husband's caesar salad and steak were OK. The sauce that came with his steak tasted like baked bean sauce- get it on the side. View is incredible. Disappointed that even though our reservation noted it was his b'day- there was no acknowledgment of the special occasion while we were there. Definitely and "Old guard Tiburon" staple.Special Features:
- dinner with a view...tsunamiVIPDined on 9/20/2014Great site if you are hiking Angel Island or just taking a ferry trip over from San Francisco. Nice way to see the bay and have a view of the GGate and Bay bridge from one scenic restaurant location. A short walk from the Tiburon ferry landing, a small quaint place overlooking the bay. Diver scallops and salmon were tasty, and the Weinerschnietzl and lamb dishes are nice for meat eaters. Not a huge wine list so bring your own if you want something special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 2FhFADined on 9/19/2014We loved our table by the window that gave us a magnificent view of San Francisco, Angel Island and all the sailboats on the bay. We were fortunate to be there on a night when after dark, we were still able to clearly see the lights across the bay as there was no fog. The warm bread was fresh and yummy. Our wine was just okay. My husband enjoyed his beet salad, which was colorful and tasty. We both ordered fish, I had the sole which was lightly breaded with a touch of sauce, perfect. The jasmine rice, however was tasteless, to my surprise! My husband had the halibut, which he enjoyed. We shared the trio chocolate dessert which was excellent and way beyond one person's capacity to eat alone. Had a great evening and would return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely spot for a romantic eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 9/19/2014Excellent view, food and service - we will definitely return for another visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very niceMisterQDined on 9/17/2014Very nice place. Nice view. A lot of yelp reviews about no a/c and communal toilet distract from how there is a nice quality about the uniqueness of this place. My only complaint is parking is very limited and I thought I read a valet would be available just in case. Parked a little ways from a parking lot which looked made for this place and was nervous I was going to be towed. Thankfully not and I was still able to enjoy my dinner. Thanks Caprice for a nice evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good food, great viewOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/15/2014Our evenng at Caprice exceeded expectations. Very nice menu, good service and the view! Very good location for entertaining clients or friends on a special occassion.Special Features:
- A grand 60th birthdayGidgetDined on 9/13/2014We had dinner with two other couples to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. It was a wonderful location and a Caprice made it the best!!, Our favorite waiter took care of all of us very professionally!, this is the best place to celebrate a very special occasion!,Special Features:
- MakingMemoriesDined on 9/13/2014Very enjoyable, excellent food, and outstanding view. It was just what we were in the mood for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special treatbargaininTiburonDined on 9/12/2014We eat out a lot with our kids, but this is somewhere that we want to go without them. Tiburon is an expensive place to eat out but the Caprice is worth it. Lovely sea food and amazing views.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Strange ExperienceReggieVIPDined on 9/11/2014We've been exploring new restaurants in Marin for a few months now, and this was our first visit to A Caprice. After our waiter took our order, we never saw him again during the meal. Someone else brought our salads and entrees, and no one ever offered pepper for the salads, asked if our meal was OK, or even filled our water glasses. The waiter was not particularly busy, and we saw him in the dining room, but I finally had to flag him down for our bill. I even asked him "you are our waiter, aren't you?", because I really wasn't certain. He said he was, in fact, our waiter. Something was amiss. Maybe this place is just for the locals, and they don't like strangers? The food was fine, but I honestly can't imagine going back.Special Features:
- LOVED ITYTIGGERDined on 9/8/2014WE HAVE BEEN HERE A NUMBER OF TIMES AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN WORTH THE DRIVE TO TIBURON FOR THE OCEAN VIEW. THE FOOD IS GREAT AS WELL. MY SON HAD A BLAST THERE.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- superb for a nice, romantic dinnercustomerDined on 9/5/2014Me and my girlfriend went for dinner, and it was a great experience. The location is great. The only problem might be the distance from downtown San Francisco. But overall we really enjoyed it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We only wish the food were betterJackMichaelsDined on 9/4/2014Caprice is a great spot for a special occasions. The view is outstanding, we had a wonderful table and our waiter was friendly and helpful. My wife and I debated between giving the food two or three stars (she loved the dessert). We decided on two stars, hopefully to send a message to the owners. With better food, Caprice would be one of the most attractive restaurants in the area.Special Features:
- great food...discrimination servicehammer99Dined on 8/30/2014Can't believe I experienced discrimination against not white person in such a place. The bartender and 3 all white guests around the bar made it impossible for me to get a drink in almost 15 mins. They all had drinks had drinks and didn't allow me to get a drink as we were waiting for out table. Every time I try to get the bartenders attention, he would disappear and as he came back, all three guest took up all the counter space available and blocked me from etting to the bar. The bar tender completely ignored me, it was like they were playing a game to keep me from getting a drink before being seated. The food is great and the views are amazing, they only disappointment I have was the experience. And out table was not ready on time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014We appreciated that when dessert arrived, "Happy Anniversary" was written on the plate. Thank you for mentioning the occasion to the restaurant.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/27/2014Caprice graciously found a table for us when we inadvertently arrived booked for the wrong night. Ambience, Serivce, Food were superb. we will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service=great, food=ehfoodiegirlDined on 8/27/2014This spot is hard to beat for the view and the ambiance and the service has always been great. Now all that's missing is some stellar food. It's not bad, but it's not any better than what I can make at home and for those prices, I expect more. Nothing on the menu really rocked us and we tried many things. My cocktail tasted more like kool-aid than an 11.00 drink should. Wish I had better things to say, the ocean view is lovely, let's hope the food can catch up. Nothing was bad, just wasn't great.Special Features:
- Always GoodMikeDined on 8/26/2014I have been going to A Caprice for years. I will be back.Special Features:
- I'll be going back...ChefAtLargeDined on 8/25/2014Was it the most prolific experience I have ever had? No. But the food was good enough to make me want to check out the rest of the menu, the view of the Golden Gate Bridge from our table couldn't be beat, and the service was very good. They were super busy from the Living Social coupon they had, and you could tell they were stretched thin for front of the house service, but our server had a good attitude and was great to talk to. I'll be going back. No question.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GidgetDined on 8/23/2014My husband and I love coming here for a nice romantic dinner But we also love bringing our out-of-town guests here for a special night of looking at the beautiful scenery out the window while dining. There is nothing like it! We have many favorite dishes here. The lamb, the scallops, and the wonderful trio of chocolate for dessert! On Friday night the view of the sales in action is fun to watch. And on Saturday we love the live piano music!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ambianceDidediDined on 8/17/2014Great service, beautiful view, and wonderful presentation of foodSpecial Features:
- Only thing better than the viewOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/16/2014The food! Fourth visit and it never disappoints. Unbelievable view, superb service, great wine list and the food is a delightSpecial Features:
- Excellent2SadnessDined on 8/16/2014Wish to have more food choices. They should serve lunch too. We shall return. I love the live classical piano playing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding and AmazingcapyDined on 8/15/2014Have been eating at the Caprice for over 30 years and it never fails to amaze. Fine food outstanding views. You can't beat it on the baySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Greatest view - excellent foodNoelNoelVIPDined on 8/10/2014Possibly the best restaurant view in the Bay Area. The food is elegant. The filet mignon was perfection. Salad dressings were subtle and delicious with great blends of flavors. I look forward to going back.Special Features:
- Running on EmptyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014Old boring and overrated. A restauarant with this kind of view ought have spark on that merit alone. This place could cure insomnia.Special Features:
- Perfect for a date.DatenightDined on 8/6/2014The food was amazing. Cooked to perfection and the menu had some great choices. The view is amazing. You can see angel island, the city and Golden Gate Bridge all the way to the marina. It is a romantic setting, perfect to impress a date.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another Great Dinner & Great ViewsJoeDineVIPDined on 8/4/2014Everytime we dine at Caprice, we have had a wonderful dining experience. The views are unbeatable and the service was excellent. We really enjoy every time we eat here.Special Features:
- Not impressedfoodDined on 8/3/2014When I made a reservation for a restaurant in Tiburon that had been around since the 50's and had a great view of the bay, I was expecting something really nice. I was very disappointed! The food was average at best, the waiter was inattentive and the restaurant itself seemed poorly maintained as far as cleanliness. The only thing I will say was that the view of the Bay was gorgeous, so there was that. Other than that, I would never eat there again.
- Delicious and great food!MarthaawhVIPDined on 8/2/2014Beautifully situated on the water in a lovely area. Chose this over Sausalito where we usually go when in San Francisco because we're finding the Sausalito waterfront restaurants need some "refreshing". This place filled the bill. Food was wonderful and ambience great. Wasn't much more time to get to beyond Sausalito and was worth it! We will come again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GREAT FOOD!YTIGGERDined on 7/28/2014THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. ESPECIALLY THE PRIME RIB. OYSTERS ARE FRESH. LOVED THE VIEW OF THE OCEAN.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exellent view of the bay!EnjoyVIPDined on 7/26/2014This is the place to go on a warm sunny day to enjoy good food and beautiful view. Excellent and attentive service. We had a great time.Special Features:
- Special night outdavidVIPDined on 7/18/2014Service attentive & responsive to requests. Lobster crepe was delicately sauced with lobster chunks, enough to share tastes. Filet of sole was fresh and generously portioned. View of the San Francisco Bay-an added plus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- drj1OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/16/2014Amazing food....and service was outstanding! However....The six of us sat next to a table with very loud "older" patrons for quite sometime but they finally left. Rest of the evening was fantastic!! We've been going to this amazing restaurant for over 30 years...especially for special occasions.....when we are in the Marin area! It's a "must go" for anyone in SF or Marin areas! It's in the beautiful and quaint little town of Tiburon!Special Features:
- KrumbsfromKovVIPDined on 7/14/2014What a wonderful find. We have eaten in Tiburon several times, but because this restaurant is a bit off the downtown rush, we somehow have missed it. Food was excellent, view unbelievable, and service was very good. Artichoke appetizer was splendid while the main courses were perfect. We can't wait to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, beautiful viewangelinaDined on 7/14/2014Good value...19.95 prime rib Mondays. Generous portions of beef and pork tenderloin cooked to perfection. Vegetarian entree also available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CAPRICE A GEMDinergirlDined on 7/13/2014Splendid views and food is very appetizing. Staff here is friendly and accommodating.Special Features:
- Tasteless and Poorly platedTicklemypalateDined on 7/13/2014Both the Brunch items that consisted of French Toast and an omelet were tasteless and the presentation/plating of each entree was unappealing. The mini mini muffins too were plated poorly and tasteless. The scant amount of fruit ( 2 cubed pieces of pineapple with 4-5 cube pieces of watermelon) did not appear to be fresh nor were they plated in a visually appealing manner.Special Features:
