Mass Shootings And Gun Control The largest mass shooting in U.S. history occurred December 29,1890, when 297 Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee in South Dakota were murdered by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms "for their own safety and protection." The slaughter began after the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms...

Raise The Minimum Wage I wanted to offer a different perspective on the issue of raising the minimum wage. The argument that raising the minimum wage will result in job loss is a bogus scare tactic.

Settled Science Climate change science is based on the accumulated evidence gained from studying the greenhouse effect for 200 years.

The Christie Minervini column on "wethouses" was insightful and I hope received positively by the community. Our drug and alcohol policies are built on failure and powerlessness.

I am from colorado and I have relatives in salt lake, I have been to almost every mountain in the 4 corners states, excluding the ski only mountains. Yes I snowboard and I am confident that I could shred alta with the best of them. The problem here is not with snowboarders. Anyone who can actually snowboard doesnt scrape off the powder, they ride it just like skiers, bombing fast, making perfect turns. The problem is that their are bad snowboarders and skiers. I get cut off more by skiers than boarders, and I usually board with skiers. I grew up skiing and they both have strengths and weaknesses. I challenge these ski-elitests to take 3 days to learn to board then go out on a powder day and tell me if you have fun. ALso like someone else posted, most of the new ski technology has come from snowboards, so unless you want to ride some pre 1990s straight skis with foam cores you should learn to ski alongside boarders cause we're here to stay! Also look at the young ski crowd what with their newfangled twin tip skis, skiing backwards down the mountain, ripping halfpipe and park along with their snowboard brethren, we are one and the same.

BV County no longer under 'moderate drought'
By TOM CULLEN
Storm Lake is getting higher thanks to summer rains, according to measurements Monday.
2014 average: 26.22 inches
By JOEY AGUIRRE
Secchi disk measurements are showing water quality is fantastic in Storm Lake, averaging just over 26 inches in clarity.
Storm Lake never has looked better. The water is clear as we have ever seen it over six decades. The lake has become the top spot in Iowa for walleye fishing, and it also may be the state's best spot for catfish. This is all because of a massive dredging project that is set to continue for at least another three years. And it would not have happened were it not for the Lake Preservation Association of Storm Lake.
Warmer weather should cause the parasite to relent
A local fisherman was diagnosed with swimmer's itch last week after a day of fishing on Storm Lake.
State sketching 3 lake structures into 5-year plan
The three jetties in Storm Lake are showing signs of wearing down, leading the DNR to consider repairs in the future.
Spring egg haul beats DNR goal
The walleye population in Storm Lake is making members of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources very happy.
Fisheries Biologist Ben Wallace told The Storm Lake Times Wednesday that the IDNR had an excellent year netting walleye in Storm Lake and that the population is pretty good.
We're proud that Storm Lake was chosen by the State of Iowa to be the demonstration site for the best practices in storm water runoff control. It may sound arcane, but as weather becomes more extreme we will have to find better ways of directing what can be torrents of water. It is especially gratifying to see the city trying everything it can to protect our lake from further pollution.
Iowa Central Community College's Annual Industrial Technology High School Competition was held on Wednesday, April 2. On Competition Day, approximately 210 students, representing 21 high schools from nine county areas and beyond, participated in one or more of the 20 testing areas. The students had the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they had acquired from their dual credited vocational classes while competing for scholarships and prizes.
Looking from the high bank along Sunset Park on Sunday we could see rocks six to 10 feet out from shore beneath the water. It was crystal clear. We have lived in Storm Lake most of our lives and have never seen the lake so clear as we have over the past five years or so. Dredging is making a huge impact on water quality in what was among the most turbid lakes in Iowa.
Voters in the Sioux Central School District affirmed the school's future Tuesday by overwhelmingly supporting a $7.5 million bond issue that will build new classrooms, a gym and football field on the central campus just south of Sioux Rapids. They understand that Sioux Central is one of the rare rural districts with growing enrollment thanks to a younger demographic fueled by location and by the presence of Rembrandt Enterprises, the huge egg supplier that has been expanding through the years.

Have You Made Alternate Travel Plans for Your School-Age Children?
Schools chancellor says a bus driver strike is "not a matter of if but when."
The strike New York City school bus drivers have been threatening since last week is "all but inevitable," The New York Times reported on Sunday, after schools chancellor Dennis Walcott said it was "not now a matter of if, but when, a strike will take place." (The Post has its money on Wednesday, for whatever that's worth). The city plans to provide MetroCards and reimburse taxi-car fare to kids and parents affected by the strike, which for some will mean a marked improvement in the quality of commute — the back seat of a Town Car beats a hard, green bus seat any day.

When does flu season begin and end?
Flu season officially begins in October of each year and extends to May of the following year. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people can follow the development of flu across the United States by following CDC's weekly update of the locations where flu is developing in the U.S. (see the flu map).
Flu vs. cold
Compared with most other viral respiratory infections, such as the common cold, influenza (flu) infection usually causes a more severe illness with a mortality rate (death rate) of about 0.1% of people who are infected with the virus. Cold symptoms (for example, sore throat, runny nose, cough, congestion, and slight fever) are similar to flu symptoms, but the flu symptoms are more severe, last longer, and may include vomiting and diarrhea.
The following table is provided by the CDC to help distinguish between a cold and influenza:
|Signs and Symptoms
|Symptom onset
|Usual; lasts 3-4 days
|Usual; often severe
|Fairly common
|Fatigue, weakness
|Stuffy nose
|Sore throat
|Chest discomfort, cough
|Common; can be severe
|Mild to moderate; hacking cough

Talk:Purvanchal Vikas Party
|WikiProject India / Punjab / Politics
|(Rated Stub-class, Low-importance)
Examples of need for Copyedit[edit]
First "sentence" has no verb. "PVP emerged as a force" hardly tallies with percentage of votes received. "raised demand" is not idiomatic English. Even if India has more speakers of English than the UK, the article should explain what a Bhavan is. --SilasW 14:34, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Someone soon cut out "Copyedit" and altered some examples I wrote of. But the meaning of "raised demand", let alone of "raised demand construction" can only be guessed at. "Bhavan" now has the gloss "Eastern Building" which is hardly explanatory. If a Bhavan is a building peculiar to "the East" (and that depends on your viewpoint) then its region (India I might guess), its function eg dormitory or social meeting place, and maybe its essential construction should be given. Let clarification reign! Wikipedia is meant to give information not to be a starting point from which you can winkle it out with the pin of perseverance.--SilasW 19:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Instead of punching a hole, use an Xacto type knife to cut an x about the size of the eyelet. Put the eyelet through the x by inserting it, of course, through the front of the whatever you are creating so the paper pushes to the back.
Turn your creation over. Find a Phillips head screwdriver that just the tip, but not the rest of the screwdriver part, fits in the eyelet hole. Use a regular hammer, or a lightweight hammer (you can smaller light hammers for .99/$1 at dollar places, to hit top of screwdriver. If only part of the eyelet set, take screwdriver out and reinsert it so the outer edges of the screwdriver bit goes against the sides that have not set yet. Hit it. Take screwdriver out and hit the eyelet itself a few times....works like a charm!
Here is a hint about the screwdrivers: Get a six bit screwdriver (one that you take the bit off and change it) so you have a variety of sizes right there). Most regular eyelets can be set with this. For tiny eyelets, get a precision screwdriver set (the tiny ones like for glasses)and use the phillips head ones out of it.
Oh yeah, if you use a glass cutting mat to cut the x with, don't forget to take it out! LOL..had that happen to me cause phone rang....crack!

About the Author
Carolyn Keene is the author of the ever-popular Nancy Drew (All New) Girl Detective and Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew series.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Chapter 1: Total Darkness
"All aboard!" the train conductor shouted. "Chicago to New York City -- and all stops in between!"
Nancy Drew and her father, Carson, stepped up their pace as Carson pushed a trolley laden with luggage along the crowded platform of the cavernous station. Nancy's best friends, George Fayne and Bess Marvin, hurried to keep up.
"Will we make it?" Bess asked Nancy as the train whistle shrilled through the humid air.
"I think so, Bess," Nancy said, "though I can't predict whether all four of your suitcases will get on before the doors close."
"Don't say that!" Bess moaned. "I need them. We'll be in New York a whole week, and the party that Delphinia's planning sounds awesome."
"This is all I brought," George declared as she stepped up to her friends. She patted the straps of a large backpack slung over her shoulders.
"Don't tell me your dress for Delphinia's big dinner event is crumpled up in there," Bess said, looking horrified.
"Not crumpled -- rolled," George countered. "It's made out of some nonwrinkling material -- ideal for travel-by-backpack," she quipped, in the tone of a commercial. "Though I probably should have packed an extra pair of sneakers for sightseeing."
"Sightseeing? As in checking out cool shops and restaurants?" Bess asked mischievously.
"No way. Sightseeing, as in visiting the Museum of Natural History and hiking across the Brooklyn Bridge," George retorted with a toss of her short dark hair.
Bess made a face. "Sounds like torture. All the sights I'm interested in seeing can be found in Bloomingdale's. And you don't need sneakers for that."
Eighteen-year-old Nancy grinned at her friends' remarks. Bess and George were first cousins and devoted friends, but they were also total opposites. Blond-haired Bess loved clothes, high-calorie desserts, and boy watching, while George's interests ran more to athletics. Nancy knew that planning activities in the Big Apple to interest both girls would be complicated.
"Is this a sleeping car?" Nancy's father asked a conductor standing next to a car with high, wide windows.
"Indeed it is," the conductor declared. "May I see your tickets, please?"
"I've got them, Dad," Nancy said, reaching into her purse. She handed three tickets to the conductor.
"Miss Drew, Miss Fayne, and Miss Marvin," the conductor said as he examined the tickets. "You've come to the right car, ladies. Compartment Twenty-three B. Step lively, please. The train leaves in exactly three minutes."
"Why don't I help you girls load this stuff into your compartment?" Carson offered, sweeping suitcases from the trolley onto the metal platform inside the car door. "I can do that in less than three minutes."
"Just keep an ear out for the conductor's last call, Dad," Nancy warned, "unless you want a surprise trip to New York."
Carson chuckled. "If I didn't have to be in court tomorrow in River Heights, a trip to New York would be great," he said, hefting three suitcases. "I could tour the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art -- the list is endless. New York is like one gigantic grab bag full of things to do."
"Not to mention visiting Delphinia Van Hoogstraten's mansion with its famous collection of glass birds," Nancy reminded him. "Here, Dad, let me give you a hand with the bags." She hoisted two suitcases, followed her father down the narrow aisle of the sleeping car, and stopped outside the door marked 23B.
Sliding it open, she found two blue velour sofas facing each other with a window in the wall beside them. Large cabinets ran the length of the walls over the sofas.
"The conductor will convert one of these sofas into a bed later on," Carson explained as he entered the compartment behind Nancy. "Those overhead cabinets will open to make two more beds."
"There's room for the luggage under the sofas," Nancy commented, pushing her suitcase under the sofa on her right.
"Last call!" the conductor shouted into the car. "All those without tickets please exit immediately."
"Goodbye, girls, and take good care of Eloise," Carson said, referring to his sister, who lived in New York. "I'm glad you'll be staying with her instead of at some hotel. And, Nancy -- try not to get involved in a mystery," he added with a wink. "Every good professional needs time off, and detectives are no exception."
"I'll try my best, Dad," Nancy promised, smiling. After giving her father a hug, she watched him hurry down the aisle and off the train. The instant he stepped on to the platform, the conductor slammed the car door shut, and the train inched forward.
"I agree with your dad -- no mysteries!" Bess exclaimed. "I have this feeling that just bringing up the subject will jinx us. With your track record, Nan, there's sure to be a mystery lurking somewhere on this train."
George propped her backpack in a niche by the door and said, "I hope not. Your dad's right, Nancy. Even ace detectives need time off."
"And I plan to take it," Nancy said firmly, settling herself on a sofa and peering out the window as the train slid into a tunnel. "Our week in New York will be total vacation, I promise. We'll explore the city, see Aunt Eloise, and meet her friend Delphinia Van Hoogstraten -- Dell for short."
"Tell me more about Dell," Bess said as she and George sat down on the sofa across from Nancy. "Why is she turning her mansion into a museum?"
As the train rattled out of the tunnel and into the sunshine, Nancy thought back to her conversation with her aunt Eloise about the eccentric Van Hoogstraten family. She'd told Bess and George only a few details about them.
"According to Aunt Eloise," Nancy explained, "Dell's getting married and moving to Boston, where her fiancé lives. The mansion is owned by a Van Hoogstraten family partnership, and they've decided to turn it into a museum."
George's dark eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "But if a bunch of Van Hoogstratens own the mansion, how come Dell ended up living in it by herself?"
"Dell's an only child, and she grew up in the house, so the place means a lot to her," Nancy replied as she looked out the window. Green fields and leafy trees flashed by like a movie on fast-forward. Turning her eyes from the afternoon sunlight that flooded into the compartment, she added, "I think Dell pays rent to the partnership. For some reason, none of Julius's other descendants is interested in living there."
"Julius?" Bess cut in. "Who's he?"
"Dell's great-grandfather Julius Van Hoogstraten, who built the house," Nancy replied. "He died in 1915."
"The Van Hoogstratens must be mega rich in order to afford the taxes and upkeep on a huge place like that in New York City," George commented.
"You said it, George," Nancy declared. "Julius Van Hoogstraten was one of the richest men in New York during the Gilded Age. He made this unbelievable fortune in railroads."
"The Gilded Age?" Bess echoed, puzzled.
Pulling her reddish blond hair into a quick ponytail, Nancy explained, "That's a nickname for the late 1800s when all these people became millionaires. They lived incredibly fancy lives -- people like Cornelius Vanderbilt, J. P. Morgan, and John D. Rockefeller, who made money from shipping and banking and oil. They built these huge mansions and had tons of servants."
"Those guys must have really raked in the dough," George commented, "especially because they didn't have income taxes in those days."
"The amount of money they had was mind-boggling," Nancy went on, "and they loved to flaunt it. Balls and dinner parties for hundreds of guests, humongous summer homes, and honeymoons around the world were typical."
"But what's so special about Julius's mansion? Why would it rate as a museum?" George asked. "Did he have a big art collection or something?"
"Julius had this awesome collection of blown-glass birds," Nancy told her. "He'd made them himself in Holland before moving to America, when he was twenty-five. They were so beautiful that he couldn't stand the thought of leaving them behind. Now his collection is priceless."
"Who would have thought that a talent for making glass birds would have led him to a fortune in railroads?" Bess remarked.
"Aunt Eloise said that he came to America with his glass bird collection and a few pennies in his pocket," Nancy went on, kicking off her shoes and folding her legs under herself. "He started working as a train mechanic, saved money, and when an opportunity came to buy a struggling railroad, he seized it. But apparently his newfound money went to his head. He threw fancy parties -- even for his pets' birthdays -- smoked cigars and drank expensive brandy, and was known for being bossy and rude. He fired servants right and left, except for his pastry chef, who could do no wrong."
Bess perked up. "Hmm. I wonder if the chef left any of his recipes somewhere in the house -- maybe in old letters or cookbooks? That's the kind of mystery I'd be up for solving, Nan. Nothing dangerous -- but with a definite payoff."
"Speaking of food," George said, checking her watch, "it's five o'clock. Why don't we explore the train before dinner?"
Nancy's blue eyes sparkled excitedly. "I forgot to tell you guys -- Julius's private railroad car has been totally restored. It's attached to this train, and we can tour it."
"What a coincidence!" Bess exclaimed.
"Not exactly," Nancy admitted. "The Van Hoogstratens arranged to have it attached to certain routes in the Northeast to promote the opening of their musuem. So when I called to make our reservations, I learned that the car would be on this particular train. That's why we're traveling today."
The girls stepped out of their compartment and headed down the corridor toward the rear of the train. The next car they entered was the dining car. Nancy was surprised to see how crowded it was already. People were sitting at tables covered with white cloths and set with gleaming cutlery. Most of the diners were studying menus while white-coated waiters looked on attentively, ready with pads to take orders.
The maître d' approached the girls. "Would you like to have a table, ladies?" he asked in a friendly m...

In this installment of the forever lasting Nancy Drew series we have Nancy, Bess, and George going to New York City to visit the magnificent bird collection of the Van Hoogstraten family. The birds were supposidly done by Julius Van Hoogstraten the starter of thier empire. But as Nancy and her friends go to visit Dell Van Hoogstraten who is a friend of Nancy's Aunt Eloise things get out of hand as a crystal chandelier falls out of nowhere scaring the hell out of the guests. Things follow as the most prized peace of the collection the Crystal Dove is stolen. As Nancy is trying to solve a mystery in the present she must dig deep into the past of Julius Van Hoogstraten to find the sinister serect. As we all know she came through again but this time guessing who did it wasn't that easy. Still a good read.

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
U.K.-based Tissue Regenix Group said it established a subsidiary company in the U.S. to further commercialize its dCELL® decellularized tissue scaffold technology platform, now approved for use in Europe.
dCELL—short for "decellularization"—removes DNA and other cellular material from animal and human tissue, leaving a tissue scaffold that is acellular and thus unlikely to be rejected by the patient's body, and usable for repairing diseased or worn-out body parts. The new U.S. subsidiary will pursue Tissue Regenix' strategy of applying dCELL toward chronic diseases, with the long-term goal of developing dCELL for other applications including vascular repair, heart valve replacement, and knee repair.
"The United States presents an opportunity to establish our platform dCELL technology in a market potentially worth hundreds of millions of dollars," Antony Odell, managing director of Tissue Regenix, said in a statement.
Tissue Regenix commercializes academic research by partners. The company was spun out of the University of Leeds in 2006. In June, a preclinical study published in PLoS ONE concluded that dCELL can deliver enhanced cell repopulation compared to the bovine-derived cell-matrix Vascu-Guard. The study was led by Alan Dardik, M.D., Ph.D., FACS, associate professor of surgery (vascular) at Yale University and chief, peripheral vascular surgery, with the VA Connecticut Healthcare Systems.
Two months later, results announced by the company from a two-year clinical study of the dCELL vascular patch in 21 patients concluded that it was safe and effective for vascular surgery. The patients had a history of prior peripheral vascular disease and required surgery to remove a blood vessel blockage to restore blood flow and reduce the likelihood of further complications including possible amputation.
Tissue Regenix also announced its appointment of Greg Bila as president of the subsidiary, Tissue Regenix USA. Bila previously held a number of sales and marketing positions with Kinetic Concepts, and has more than 20 years' experience in the pharmaceutical and medical device fields.

It's around 3:30 in the morning and we are heading West on the Ohio Turnpike and still about 3 hours from home. Isn't technology great? I am able to surf the net while driving down the highway! (actually my wife Holly is doing the typing - I'm just dictating. She tends to get cranky when I take my eyes off the road to see what site she is on)
Let me begin by explaining that we had big plans for the Championship game. Our friend Larry Brewer was scheduled to umpire in the game and we were more than ready to enjoy a day at the ballpark and cheer him on. However as you all know by now things did NOT go as planned. After several weather delays and then the[ final decision to postpone the game|http://active.typepad.com/llbworldseries/2006/08/rain_rain_go_aw.html] until tomorrow night at 8 pm we decided to pack it in and head home to Michigan.

Does anyone know how to fix the dropping sidebar issue with the Woocommerce plugin? This only happens on my main shop page (sidebar drops)....checkout and cart pages work great....
Does anyone know how to fix the dropping sidebar issue with the Woocommerce plugin? This only happens on my main shop page (sidebar drops)....checkout and cart pages work great....
Same issue here.
I'm going to dig for the why and wherefores...
edit: it seems this thread is a duplicate of:
In the latest the case seems to be solved by following the steps given by https://github.com/jigoshop/Jigoshop/wiki/How-to-Properly-Wrap-Jigoshop-Content-in-your-WordPress-Theme
I'm going to try that and see what is what
edit2: this thread is also a duplicate of this interesting page http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-woocommerce-ecommerce-plugin-for-wordpress-template-problem?replies=12
I found my solution!
Note: the solution depends on your theme
In your theme/functions.php, add the following lines:
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_output_content_wrapper', 10);
remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_main_content', 'woocommerce_output_content_wrapper_end', 10);
add_action('woocommerce_before_main_content', create_function('', 'echo "
";'), 10);
add_action('woocommerce_after_main_content', create_function('', 'echo "
";'), 10);
Instruction #1 and #2 (the ones starting with "remove") tells your theme to remove woocommerce hooks.
Instruction #3 and #4 (the ones starting with "add") tells your theme to consider your own rules, rules that you must change to match your theme structure (whether you use div, class, section etc), that you can find in your theme/page.php.
Here, what is specific for my theme is that I use:
"
" for #3 and
but for some people, for instance, the hook can be:
"
" for instruction #3, and
the closing instruction #4 will be:
'Hope that helps anyone.
Thanks so much I will let you know if this works out for me...I'm also having an issue with the lightbox effect "directing to Paypal" not working correctly...maybe javascript issues...what do you think?
Here is the first few lines for code but it's not working for me `<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_template_part('includes/breadcrumbs'); ?>

`
that is my page.php. Just not working....
I assume you tried to inject:
"
" for instruction #3 and
"
" for #4 in the 1st piece of code I pasted, and that you passed it in your theme/functions.php file right?
yes did not work...I will try again
I even followed these instructions http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce-codex/theming-woocommerce/
no dice
er... then maybe you should look at your home page and check the output code (my chromium browser highlighted the different DIVs as I hovered the code and it's how I really found the name of the DIV used to contain all my website body's contents so I could rename woocommerce container into the one used by my theme).
edit: Yeah I saw those links, it's exactly what I did, copying those 2x2 lines. I'm sure you just have to nail the exact name for the div/class/whatever for it to work.
this is my demo site http://demos.muntzdesigns.com/
Can you find it for me?
Your wild guess wasn't too bad.
I suggest you try those few (you missed the "container" div rendered just before the "content-area" div):
Let me know if it works
edit: actually I see another one that could work:
"
" #3 and "
" #4
when i used "container/" the left side is correct and align perfect but the sidebar is still down...you think i should use another one with the container in #3
Try "
" in #3...
tried it...no dice...
Then I don't see... :/ Except that you would have made an error in the syntax, putting a slach (/) instead of an anti-slash somewhere (\), or forgotten something...
Last attempt, try "
"
I'm going to troubleshoot the rest of the plugin, see if I get this paypal issue you were talking about
edit: the left-area one looked like your best (because it doesn't spill over the sidebar) bet but eh...
see this http://cl.ly/2i2N3x1D3P3u1H2c3W3I
this is what happens when I add "
"
the sidebar is up but everything drops in the footer (should be in the white background)
here is the error with the paypal that I'm getting...see this site http://encorecoatings.com/
Well, Im sorry but I see no other possibility for the template problem, for the other problem I'm still looking at it (I don't know yet if I have it), but it's going to be specific to your setup (check your cache plugins -if you have any- disable them, disable/enable some others that might be conflicting... it's the hard way but that's a developer's life I guess...
I'll let you know if I found any other interesting stuff
I cant work out why WC keeps locking up with a redirect error when you hit the proceed to checkout page.
Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.
Any one else get this?
Did anyone find a solution for this? I have the page.php -> woocommerce.php solution working but would rather use this. I'm using elegantthemes estore. I'll ask over there too.
Hi all. I have the same problem of Ed
I tried all DIV option in hooks but just i fix only the layout (which is a big step forward) but I can not display the side bar.
Try, try and nothing
I can not find solutions, because I also am not a programmer.
Thanks for this thread that has helped me a lot but I need more help. :)
If you expect any help, you should post a link to your website... ;)
Just wanted to say thanks to @CockpitSeeker for posting the function to re-hook the (custom) lay-out structure. Saved me a ton of work. Cheers!
Hello i hope this simple CSS code works to all of the people who are looking to fix this problem, there is no need to touch the .PHP Codes just add this in the .CSS or in your Themes quick .CSS insert area.
Added to the custom.css file
Try this one first if no results try the second one.
///Sidebar Fixed CSS Code
.container .clear {
clear: right;
///Sidebar Fixed CSS Code
.container .clear {
clear: none;
If it worked please reply and let me know good luck.
ok ... so u got a wordpress theme with a sidebar.
your sidebar is totally messed up. well i guess it is.
here is the fix.
go to your wordpress themes folder and open up 'single.php' or 'page.php' with your favorite editor. notepad works.
find out what the html code is around this line:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
yep you got it. there is a div around that line.
Similar to this maybe:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

or something else. It's what you need.
ok so you now you know what is required.
there is a file in the woocommerce plugin folder called 'sidebar.php'.
The path to the file that needs to be edited can be found here '/plugins/woocommerce/templates/shop/sidebar.php'.
all you need to do is to add the same code that you found in the single.php or page.php file around the line as above.
to make sure that the file you are about to change does not mess up when updating woocommerce you need to do the following.
make a folder in your themes folder called 'woocommerce'.
in the 'woocommerce' folder make another folder called 'shop'.
in the 'shop' folder copy the file called 'sidebar.php' into the 'shop' folder.
edit the copied file and save it.
so the file should be in the path:
'/themes/<your theme folder>/woocommerce/shop/sidebar.php'
I found a solution for myself, maybe it is works only for me.
I am using a template by templatemonster.
My problem was, templatemonster theme added a class to the div id content, named two_third. This class has the following width propertiy: 65.33%
Ok, so what i need only, to add this class for woocommerce.
So i did navigate to file: wrapper-tart.php, and add this class to div with id="content". And viola, my page is works now.
Anyway, if you know the with of your sidebar, you can easily set up a new selector for your content, and just insert your class into this {WOOCOMMERCEDIR}templates/shop/wrapper-start.php
Please let me know, if is this helped.
I could not understand what you were trying to say Ferenc :(
Ok, here goes my first post!
I too have been having problems with getting the hooks mentioned above to work. So far, I've managed to get the hooks working (ALMOST!) on the site I'm building. The problem is that the pages that use the regular page.php file work fine, but the pages that are known to be the potential trouble makers "shop, single product page & taxonomy page" aren't rendering correctly.
Here's an example of a page that "seems" to be working correctly:
And here's a link to a page where my footer floats up into the page and a div (along with it's background image) disappears.
It's as though there's a closing div missing which is preventing the div named "home-container_bottom" from even appearing. Wish I could figure this out!
Somebody please help me! It's probably something simple, and I've firebugged this page to death, but still not seeing the solution.
Thank you in advance for helping me! Very much appreciated!

Butler Systems is a manufacturer of environmental control systems and power conditioning equipment and is a lead supplier of computer support systems and the largest supplier of precision air-conditioning and power protection systems in the world. Butler Systems HD-5 battery is the primary component for emergency supply system (Benton, 2010, p.455).
The HD-5 battery is used in 80 percent of the emergency power supply systems.
The EPS is a backup system designed to prevent glitches and ride out temporary
power outages in computer network systems. The EPS allows for an orderly shutdown from the servers in order to avoid data loss as well as damage to critical current supplier for the HD-S (Benton, 2010, p.455).
Butler Systems buying organization's role in selecting and qualifying potential suppliers for its battery supplier are conducted through the competitive bidding pricing process. After the best suppliers are identified, a formal negotiation is conducted with at least two suppliers (Benton, 2010, p. 455).
As the VP of operations, assessment of the battery shortage problem will be given to the organization project manager and project sponsor to ensure that the battery shortage problem is resolved in a timely manner. Project manager assignment will be to conduct several focus groups with employees and create a contingency plan. The focus group project manager will discuss what's working and what's not working with the battery. Feedback will be given to the project sponsor so that the project sponsor could add additional resources to the project.
As VP of the organization, I would change the contract terms and use that as a contingency plan because another organization may deliver a better solution to the problem. The current five-year contract agreement with SDX has been in effect since...

At times there's no NullPointerException, but the node just won't get expanded

I realised that at times when I call tree.setExpanded(model, true), the node does not get expanded. So I checked the state of it using tree.isExpanded(model) and it throws NullPointerException.

So much easier to change the font size of text in a grid. Will try it on listview again when I'm done with some other stuff.
8 Oct 2013 11:25 PM
I don't get the runnable sample part.
What I wanted to do is to change the font/sizes of the text in the listview, its seems rather complicated to get it done.

Hi all

Not sure if it is because the nodes were added to the store with the add(p, c) during initiation, instead of addSubTree when it was created. So when the first addSubTree was called, the...
