It was all about streetwear for Julien David this season, with an emphasis on black and meticulous attention paid to fabrication on marked sporty silhouettes including easy t-shirts, functional track pants, and on-trend sweatshirts. Most designs had an effortless slouch sometimes offset by drawstrings for an added dose of athletic-inspired chic.
The lineup's clean cuts were uplifted by its abundance of textures, which David employed with full force. Wearable varsity jacket and skirt combinations were given edge with burnt leather, while cozy wool radiated warmth on chubby coats.
The accessories on display were definite head turners including flatforms with fuzzy panels and equally cozy hats that were a fun cross between a snapback and bucket hat. We all know Rihanna loves statement-making headgear, thus I wouldn't be surprised to see her in the aforementioned soon. Intricately-coiled necklaces fulfilled the jewelry quota and the models' braided updos lent a feminine touch to the collection.
David's wire-fringed pieces presented the best red carpet options: shimmering and shaking in shades of navy, purple, turquoise, silver, and jade. One gown used over six kilometers of thread and took over 24 hours to make, yet one would never know it from its uncomplicated yet vibrant appearance. Mommy-to-be Ciara will surely gravitate toward one of these modern-day flapper designs post-pregnancy.
What do you think of Julien David's Fall lineup?

The #page div is supposed to be centered on the page, however when you remove the "float: left" from the div, it no longer auto-stretches in height. If you view it in Firebug, you will see that without the "float: left", the #page div ends behind the slideshow instead of extending down.
Any ideas?
Remove float: left and add overflow: hidden;
#page {
text-align: left;
margin: 0px auto;
padding: 0;
width: 900px;
background: #FDFDFD;
overflow: hidden;
The problem is that a div does not automatically wrap around floated content. (By default, floated content hangs out of its container.) Using overflow: hidden is an easy way to force the container (in this case #page) to wrap around the contents.
Here's a longer explanation: http://pageaffairs.com/web/css/containing-floats/
Ralph, has anyone told you you're awesome lately?
I normally get rid of the sidebar on my themes, so I never had this issue before. Now it's all making sense. Thanks man!
Ha ha, a few times, but my wife doesn't believe me.
Glad that helped.

The first American Idol, Burleson's own [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Kelly Clarkson[/lastfm], is at it again. Her new album, "Stronger," drops on October 25th, and the first single from the album, "Mr. Know It All," is all over the radio, everywhere.
Kelly recently stated that she's never going to perform her first hit, "A Moment Like This," because it wasn't written for her. It was written for whomever won American Idol.
[photogallerylink id=53776 align=left]
Luckily for us, she's got plenty of other huge hits; and is still the standard to which all other "Idol" champs have been held. A tour is not too far in the future, and she'll continue to make special appearances, just like she did on the CMA Awards with Jason Aldean. Hometown girl does good, again with her new single "Mr. Know It All".

hello, i am looking for some recommendations on doctors in arizona for liposuctions. there are so many doctors i dont know where to start thanks
Arizona Liposuction?
Doctor Answers 2
How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon for Liposuction
In general, board certification as a plastic surgeon is a good start. Second, look for a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials. Third, look for a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD liposuction Los Angeles, CA
Arizona Liposuction?
I would suggest that you do your due diligence carefully and select a board certified plastic surgeon who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients in your situation. The board certification in and of itself is just a starting point; you will want to develop a sense of confidence that the plastic surgeon you are considering does good work consistently. For example, you may be helpful to talk to previous patients who have been under the care of the same surgeon.
I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
I hope this helps.

I really love these!
Hannah Deely, our accessories wizard, sent these through to me and, God, I have to say I want them all. (These $50 Samara Fold Up Ballet Flats are available in bonze, rose gold, black, silver and countless other colors.) They could all work for me on different occassions, and for half a hundred a piece, bring it on.
These Yosi Samra flats -- which have a celebrity fan in Hayden Panettiere -- also work great as a stocking stuffer if you can resist not stealing them for yourself. I love the rose gold and all the metallic leather for the holidays!

In the first phase of the mission the DLR ground station was supplemented by the NASA antennas in Australia, California and Spain. At the regular telemetry contact over Weilheim on 1 May 1998 it was discovered that EQUATOR-S did not send data anymore. This behavior was attributed to a failure of the redundant on-board processor which was active after the failure of the main processor on 17 December 1997. All attempts by GSOC to command and to reconfigure the spacecraft did not succeed. Mission operations were finally completed by the end of September 1998. However, the scientific data from EQUATOR-S led to new knowledge in the frame of the ISTP program.

- When: 1-6 p.m. Saturday

- West Water Outlaws, 1-2:15 p.m.

- More information: visit http://www.breckenridgebeerfestival.com
Breckenridge loves its beer, and to prove it the town hosts multiple festivals every year to celebrate how the combination of hops, water, yeast and a few other ingredients form one of America's favorite beverages — the microbrew.
Breck's first festival, earlier this spring, enjoyed great success in its new location on the 100 block of Ridge Street. Organizers said the spring festival sold 2,700 tickets, which doesn't include those who came in to listen to free music, eat some food and chat with other festivalgoers. With summer putting on its best face, showing clear skies and warm temperatures, even more beer enthusiasts are expected to attend this weekend's festival. This festival will also take place on Ridge Street but will stretch to include the 200 block, as well, in order to allow everyone more elbow room and give plenty of space to the more than 30 breweries that will be making appearances.
The beer
Summit County is lucky enough to be home to four breweries, so residents are used to having a variety of brews to choose from on a Friday, Saturday or, heck, even a Wednesday night. Variety is a key word for this weekend's festival, which will provide a range of beers from more than 30 U.S. breweries, from the snowy peaks of Alaska to the balmy beaches of Hawaii, pale ales, summer wheats, stouts, porters and seasonals will all be making their way to the High Country.
Local representation will include Breckenridge Brewery, of course, and Dillon's Pug Ryan's Brewing Co., which recently went through a re-branding process and is now sporting a new Wild West look.
Great Divide Brewery from Denver is one of the many Colorado brew houses that will be at the festival. Along with Rumble, its popular oak-aged IPA, the brewery will be bringing one of its newest brews, called Oatmeal Yeti. A new twist on an old favorite, the Yeti is an oatmeal version of Great Divide's Yeti Imperial Stout, brewed with rolled oats, for a smoother mouthfeel, and raisins, for an interesting taste.

The representatives from Boulder Brewing Co. said they are excited to return to Summit County after the success of the Lake Dillon Beer Festival in June. They will be showcasing their Mojo IPA, Sweaty Betty Blonde Hefeweizen and Hoopla Pale Ale. The IPA is the brewery's second-best selling brew, with a grapefruit-like, citrus-y flavor and 7.2 percent alcohol by volume. The Hefeweizen is brewed in the traditional Bavarian style, unfiltered, with subtle hints of banana and clove flavors, and clocks in at a very drinkable 5.7 percent ABV. Fans of beer and rock music will particularly enjoy the summer seasonal Hoopla Pale Ale, which is the result of a collaboration between Boulder Beer and Kyle Hollingsworth, beer brewer and rock musician with the band The String Cheese Incident.
While it's obvious that the festival has its beer styles covered, it will also be welcoming craft cider for the first time. The Colorado Cider Co., from the Denver area, will be bringing three of its ciders to mingle with the microbrews. All three ciders boast a 6.95 percent ABV — this isn't just juice, folks — and are gluten free. Available for tasting will be Glider, the flagship cider; Grasshop-ah, with a citrus-y, non-bitter flavor and floral aroma; and the intriguing Pome Mel — a style called "cyser," meaning a half apple, half honey cider. Owner and cider maker Brad Page calls it "kind of a nerdy homebrew," with rosemary and lavender mixed in with 300 pounds of Colorado wildflower honey in each batch.
Unlimited beer tasting costs $25 in advance or $30 at the event. There is also the option of VIP tasting, which includes a large commemorative stein and a private beer tasting in the VIP section with catered lunch from Mo's Original BBQ.
"The breweries each bring a case of beer to have in (the VIP section), so if you don't want to wait in line, you don't have to," said Jen Radueg, event director.
VIP tickets cost $65 in advance or $75 at the event.
The music
In addition to feeding the stomach, the Breckenridge Beer Festival will also feed the ears of attendees with three bands lined up to play throughout the event. Those who don't want to drink beer can come through and listen to the music for free. First up will be West Water Outlaws from Boulder, followed by Austin's Emily Bell.
"She's been really breaking out this year and she's amazing," Radueg said, describing Bell's style as indie with a country twang.
The festival's headliner is David Wax Museum, featuring girl-guy duet David Wax and Suz Slezak, with a folk and roots-rock sound.
Who's there
Two blocks, three bands, more than 30 breweries and hundreds of beers should make Saturday's festival an event to remember. Following is a list of some of the breweries participating in the event:
AC Golden Brewing Co., Alaskan Brewery Co., Avery Brewing Co., Bonfire Brewing, Boulder Beer Co., Boulevard Brewing, Breckenridge Brewery, Bristol Brewing Co., Colorado Cider Co., Copper Kettle Brewing Co., Crabtree Brewing Co., Crazy Mountain Brewery, Deschutes Brewery, Echo Brewing, FATE Brewing Co., Goose Island, Great Divide Brewing Co., Kona Brewing, Left Hand Brewing Co., New Belgium Brewing, Odell Brewing and Oskar Blues Brewery.

Together. Shaping Los Angeles.
March 2013
U.S. Senator Tim Kaine visited the Los Angeles Promise Neighborhood yesterday and heard from a panel of key partners at YPI's Hollywood FamilySource Center. Senator Kaine is a former Governor of Virginia who now represents Virginia in the United States Senate. He was appointed by President Obama to be Chair of the Democratic Party. During Senator Kaine's visit, he was greatly impressed by the caliber of public-private partners that the Youth Policy Institute has convened to implement President Obama's signature education and anti-poverty initiative. The LA Promise Neighborhood is working in Hollywood and Pacoima with over 60 partners to blend diverse funding streams around a core set of outcomes and objectives.
Among these partners is actor Tim Robbins, who discussed his plans to expand the outreach of The Actors' Gang to middle schools in the Promise Neighborhood. Former U.S. Representative Howard Berman highlighted the efforts that YPI has made over the past decade to realize the vision of Promise Neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Representatives from the national Promise Neighborhoods Institute, The Annenberg Foundation, the City of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Unified School District, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, and National Council of La Raza among others reinforced their commitment to creating a complete cradle-to-career continuum of services as part of the $30 million implementation grant awarded to YPI by the U.S. Department of Education in December 2012.

If there is burning on application of Latisse, chances are you have some inflammation of the skin of your lid margins which is being irritated by the Latisse or its vehicle (what it is mixed in). This suggests that you may have blepharitis or eczema, or a skin condition which makes you sensitive to it. You may also be allergic to the Latisse but this would more likely cause itching. There is also the possibility that you are rubbing too hard with the applicator and it only needs to be gently applied.
It would be worthwhile to discuss this with your provider and have an exam of your eyelash margins by an ophthalmologist to rule out any other medical conditions.

It can be a little scary trying to pick the right all inclusive hotel for your family vacation. You have a lot of choices and each offer different options in kids clubs and activities. Let me make it easier for you. Book a Dreams hotel.
We have a Dreams hotel located in nearly all of our all inclusive destinations in Mexico and The Domincan Republic. The Dreams kids program is called the Explorers Club and is for children ages 3-12 and for the older kids they offer the Core Zone Teens Club, exclusively for teens. In addition the Dreams hotels offer Babysitting Service. They do have a fee and advance notice is required for babysitting but the kids club is included with your stay. The kids programs are open from 9 am to 10 pm. Other hotels kids clubs are open from 9 am to 5 pm. These extended hours allow for the parents to have some adult time and it also adds a lot more activities for the hotel to offer kids. They take the kids to the dinner buffet then a campout on the beach or a movie. The parents can sneak off for a romantic dinner or maybe a little dancing while your children have new experiences and meet new friends. They offer something for everyone. Just take a look at some of the activities available at the resorts and of course the incredible pools and beautiful beaches.
Activities Include: Playground, Ocean Trampoline, Sand Castle Contests, Story Telling, Treasure Hunts, Arts & Crafts, Game Room, Video Games, Movies, Camp Out (on beach, weekly).
I hear parents say me they would never leave their children with strangers in another country. I felt the same way until my first Dreams Vacation. The people involved in the kids programs are wonderful and all employees are Red Cross certified. The kids club is secure area and paretns are provided a pager in case your child or the staff needs to reach you. My wife and I felt extemely comfortable leaving our kids in the kids club. We had to go pull our girls out of the programs on most days just to spend some time with them. They meet friends from all over the World. It is an experience your kids need to have. The program has an agenda so you always know what your kids are doing and you can take them out of the programs and put them back in at your leisure.
In addition to the amazing kids programs the Dreams Hotels offer 24 hour room service and all Ala Carte dining with
no reservations required. Most hotels require reservations and only allow you to dine Ala Carte 3 nights on a n7 night vacations. This means buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner nearly your entire vacation. My family and I really enjoy sitting down for a nice dinner on vacation. I also like to be waited on when I travel not rushed through a buffet line. The Dreams dining plan is a huge bonus and the food quality is exceptional. You pay for your food up front in an all inclusive vacation so it should be one of the highlights of your vacation. Book with Dreams so you can dine as a family and be served. It is your vacation and you have earned it.
Many of the top all inclusive brands do a great job with their kids clubs but none of them combine it with
the dining plan and the beachfront locations that you will find at the Dreams Resorts. Take your family on a vacation of a lifetime and call today and book a Dreams Resort.

Preservation Department
Hamilton Library
University of Hawai´i
2550 McCarthy Mall
Honolulu, Hawai´i 96822
Phone:(808) 956-6623
E-mail: email@example.com
The University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) Library has the only Preservation Department in a library or archives in Hawaii and the American Pacific. The Preservation Department initiates preventative steps and conservation treatment to preserve the UHM Library's collections. The cost of preventative conservation and treatment is less than the cost of replacing out-of-print collections or unique heritage collections that are used for teaching and research at the UHM.
In the 1980s research libraries in the U.S. began to explore methods to deal with critical problems that caused the library materials to deteriorate. Some of the problems identified were inherent to the structure of the material. For example, wood pulp paper (made from 1850 to the present) breaks down as it ages; it loses its strength and becomes brittle; eventually the paper self destructs and literally crumbles. Biological factors were also recognized as serious problems. Beetles, commonly called the "book worm," burrowed into the spines of books and also destroyed the strength of book covers and turned the paper into confetti. Disasters (fires, floods, storms, etc.) caused destruction of Library collections in a blink-of-an-eye. Librarians were increasingly concerned about damage to collections.
Preservation (a new library profession in the 1980s) developed standards and best practices to address the problems that were causing significant loss of collections. In 1983, a "marking and mending" unit, was created at UHM Library to begin to address conservation issues and to prepare new books for the shelf. The Library also formed the Preservation Working Group. This advisory group prepared a written policy on the preservation of the collections:
The collections are essential to the teaching and research functions of the University. They also serve Hawai´i residents and researchers throughout the Pacific and the world. The collections result from selective acquisitions over a period of time. They constitute a multi-million dollar investment and an invaluable resource. A program of stewardship is in the public interest. (Preservation of Collections, March 23 1984)
In 1990 the Preservation Department was officially established by transferring staff from three Library units. Aggie Quigg was appointed head of the department. She modeled on the Preservation program at University of California at Berkeley including conservation, bindery and reformatting. By following established national preservation standards for book binding and reformatting the Library developed contracts to outsource the work. Staff maintained the standards by preparing materials and completing quality check when the materials returned to the Library. A pest management program was started to treat incoming gifts by freeze extermination.
With Ms. Quigg's retirement in 1996, Lynn Ann Davis was hired as Department Head. Davis had worked over twenty-five years addressing preservation issues in Hawai´i and was very familiar with preservation issues facing a cultural institution in Hawaii. Building on Quigg's well established program Davis created a "model preservation program" by continuing the development and professional training of staff, developing cost effective approach preservation management, and revising the disaster plan and training. The Preservation Department protocol is based on national conservation standards which require: do no harm to materials; all treatments are reversible; maintain an up-to-date disaster response plan.
In 2000 the department moved into a new facility in the Library Addition. The layout and new lab space was designed by Davis to facilitate core work (conservation treatment, bindery, reformatting, and pest management) and to prepare for the Library's future preservation needs by including a paper treatment lab and a digital photography lab.
The cloud that brought the flood and caused the Library disaster in October 2004 had a silver lining. It has provided an opportunity to acquire high tech equipment, as well as training opportunities that have increased the skills of the Preservation Department staff to provide essential skills (conservation treatment, preventative conservation, digital documentation of fragile materials, exhibition) to be an essential partner in more complex Library that demonstrates its leadership by preserving and making available unique Library collections.

Domestic, global uncertainly engulfs Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
Daily Orange File Photo
Rex Tillerson was an unorthodox figure to be appointed secretary of state. Like United States President Donald Trump, who named Tillerson to lead the State Department, Tillerson does not have any background in public office. Until his nomination, Tillerson had been working for the multinational oil and gas company ExxonMobil for more than 40 years.
The appointment of Tillerson, who at the time of his nomination was chairman and CEO of Exxon, comes at a time when the U.S. faces a number of global challenges, from North Korea's continued development of their aggressive missile program to the terrorism threat posed by the Islamic State.
Speculation that the country's leadership in world affairs could shrink under Tillerson is growing, as Trump steers the country toward his "America First" principle and makes deep cuts into the State Department budget.
Trump nominated Tillerson for secretary of state in December, impressed by Tillerson's experience as a business leader that engaged with world leaders. After joining Exxon as a production engineer in 1975, Tillerson climbed up the company's corporate hierarchy and became president of Exxon Yemen and other subsidiaries abroad in 1995, ExxonMobil in 2004 and then became CEO in 2006.
"His tenacity, broad experience and deep understanding of geopolitics make him an excellent choice for Secretary of State," Trump said in a statement. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have both expressed support for Tillerson at the position, according to Politico.
From the beginning of his confirmation hearing, however, Tillerson's nomination raised concerns — even among some Republicans. Critics pointed out Tillerson's close ties with Russia, the country at the center of political controversy after being accused of meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Tillerson was president of Exxon Neftegas in Russia in 1998 and received the Order of Friendship, one of the highest awards given to foreign nationals in Russia, by President Vladimir Putin in 2013. CNN reported that Exxon made oil production investments in Siberia, the Arctic Circle and the Black Sea while Tillerson led the company as CEO.
At one point during the confirmation hearing, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) pressed Tillerson on whether he would characterize Putin as "a war criminal," citing Russia's effort to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the Middle Eastern country's ongoing civil war. Tillerson refused to do so.
Eventually, Rubio joined the rest of Republicans, along with three Democratic and one Independent senators, voting to approve Tillerson's nomination. The 56-43 Senate confirmation vote had the most opposing votes for any secretary of state nomination in the last 50 years, according to The New York Times.
Tillerson assumes the role as the Trump administration reconsiders the country's role in foreign affairs. Trump pledged to gravitate U.S. spending toward domestic affairs while lessening foreign aid. Trump recently unveiled his preliminary fiscal year 2018 budget proposal, which showed an increase in spending on defense, homeland security and veterans affairs.
The State Department budget, meanwhile, saw the second largest reduction of any government agency, after the Environmental Protection Agency. Trump's proposed budget shaved off the department and USAID spending to $25.6 billion, a 28 percent reduction compared to the previous fiscal year and eliminated numerous programs including the Global Climate Change Initiative and The Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance account.
Tillerson supported the budget reduction, saying the department's current level of spending is "not sustainable," according to Reuters.
Tillerson, also sharing Trump's skeptical view on United Nations effectiveness, has threatened to pull the U.S. out of the U.N. Human Rights Council unless substantial reform takes place, as first reported by ForeignPolicy.com. Trump's proposed budget also suggests a reduction in the country's contribution to foreign and humanitarian aid efforts, as well as U.N. programs such as peacekeeping operations, to demand other countries pay their fair share.
Critics warn such drastic measures would backfire and pose an even greater danger to the U.S. Rob Nabors, director of policy and government affairs at The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a philanthropy organization, told Politico these proposals "would be devastating to work that is ongoing."
After taking over the position on Feb. 1, Tillerson has so far visited five countries: Germany, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and China. In his first diplomatic tour to Asia, Tillerson rebuked North Korea's persistent provocation — including its nuclear program and missile launches — and acknowledged U.S. deterrence engagement with the country has failed.
Tillerson said this during his press conference in Seoul, South Korea last week, adding that the U.S. might take pre-emptive military action, according to The New York Times.
"The policy of strategic patience has ended," he said.

11. Bungee jumped. No freakin' way.
12. Visited Paris. March 1986.
13. Watched a lightning storm at sea. In Queensland one New Year's Eve, up high in the hills overlooking the Gold Coast and water. Spectacular.
14. Taught yourself an art from scratch. Photography??
15. Adopted a child.
16. Had food poisoning. As Jen (who has adopted children) said, why is this question immediately following the one pertaining to adopted children?
17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty.
18. Grown your own vegetables.
19. Seen the Mona Lisa in France. (Where else would one see her, pray tell?)
20. Slept on an overnight train. Across the Nullabor to Perth, also once in Spain and possibly also in Italy I think.
21. Had a pillow fight.
22. Hitch hiked. Around England, into Scotland, and later in the north of France. The further south we went in France the dodgier it became and we ceased before we were found dead and interfered with in a ditch, and bought Eurail tickets. See item 20.
23. Taken a sick day when you're not ill.
24. Built a snow fort

The speed and silence of it terrified me and made me realise how frighteningly easy it is for very small children to drown. I reached down and hauled him up within seconds, but the terror and dread stayed with us for years.
90. Sat on a jury.
91. Met someone famous. Me and Cate, we're like this. Also, I played Noelene Browne's daughter in those Vesta ads in the 1970s. See 55.

Karl Malone is out here with a flip phone in 2015
Apparently, the Mailman still sends messages to people in the actual mail, because he surely isn't doing so on his phone.
NBA legend Karl Malone, the father of LSU offensive guard K.J. Malone, was caught on camera at the Tigers' game against Syracuse swaying back and forth, having a grand old time on his flip phone.
Sending Snapchats? The Mailman doesn't need to. Checking Twitter? The Mailman doesn't need to. Typing sentences with more than eight words? The Mailman. Does. Not. Need to.
He loves that flip phone.
They both have the flip phones... pic.twitter.com/DZ7yPe36RU— Kylee Annie Malone (@Kylee_Annie32) January 31, 2014

Crist for president?
From Hotline: ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?
There was a time when FL Gov. Crist thought he might come to town as a VP. A dogged defender of all things McCain, Crist was even willing to change his position on off-shore oil drilling when McCain needed cover.
-- Today, he arrives in DC as one of Pres. Obama's best GOP allies. And he's not ashamed to show it. But just how much would this help him in a potential WH '12 bid? We may find some early clues 2/22 when he faces off against a potential foe, LA Gov. Jindal, on "Meet".
-- Sure, it's early to talk about '12 match-ups. But are we seeing a rift forming between those GOPers who are all about motivating their base (Jindal, Sanford, Palin, et al), and those like Crist who prefer to reach out to the center? Crist's solid numbers among GOPers (the latest Q poll showed him w/a 71% approval rating) suggests that embracing Obama's policies haven't hurt him among the base.
-- Of course, Jindal and Crist have lots of other questions they need to answer before they can talk '12. Crist has to decide if he's running for SEN. And if you ask us, NBC's Gregory should press Jindal to make a definitive statement on his '11 intentions.

Batteries & Battery Chargers
> Battery Tender 10 Bank Charger 12 volt 021-0134
Battery Tender 10 Bank Charger 12 volt 021-0134
Why a Battery Tender® 10 Bank Battery Charger
All Battery Tender® battery chargers are designed to fully charge and maintain a wide range of styles of lead acid batteries in ways that avoid the potential damaging effects that can be caused by most trickle chargers.
All Battery Tender® battery chargers have the five following characteristics:
■ Fully Automatic: At the end of the regular charger cycle, every Battery Tender® battery charger automatically switches its output voltage to a safe, storage or float level that eliminates the need to constantly check on the conditions of the battery.
■ Full Output Power at Low AC Line Conditions: Battery Tender® battery chargers will deliver full output power with input AC line voltages as low as 90 VAC. (Excluding chargers with output current of 2 amps or less).
■ Zero to Minimal Current Draw from Batteries: When the AC power is disconnected, most Battery Tender® battery chargers draw zero current from the battery. A few of the higher power models draw less than 1 milliamp from the battery.
■ Compact, Lightweight Construction: At any given power level, Battery Tender® battery chargers offer some of the highest charging power density in the industry.
■ Visual Indication of Charge State: Every Battery Tender® battery charger has some combination of colored lights to indicate the progress of charging.
Safe, no-spark charging! Deltran's advanced SuperSmart Battery Tender® Battery Management System is light years ahead of any standard battery charger. This fully automatic, constant-current system can charge up to 10 12-volt batteries at once at 2 amps and maintain the batteries at the perfect voltage.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by Bullpen Drew, Nov 21, 2005.
via espn.com
Me and my friend stayed until KC started kneeling...but it was getting pretty empty by that time. I needed to get out of there though since I had a 3 hour drive to look forward to after I got back home (and this was after spending another 45 minutes in the parking lot and the hour drive home and then talking to my parents at the house before I left for San Marcos.) All in all I got back to my dorm at 4 am.
And if anyone saw my post from when I first got back last night/this morning, no I did not make my 10 am....oops
I felt like that watching the game from home. Like ya lost your best friend. I'm an optimist and I think when this team is a formidable one and one to reckon w/ in the future we'll look back at this season and laugh. That time will come. I think, hell, I KNOW this team will bring us what Oilers never did... championship. One day, one day.
Someone has finnally put a sentence to how I feel. "Feels like you lost your best friend". I was so excited over the off-season waiting and waiting. ...then this is the outcome.
Yeah, It's gotten so bad that I actually felst sympathy for Capers and Staff....Still want them gone, but I feel bad for them.
Exactly! A perfect way to put it! Between the lack of water in Lake Livingston resulting in my having to walk my boat out of the boathouse in order to and the Texans unacceptable performance, I may have to resort to paxil.
I'll be at the game Sunday rooting for my team. I just hope that next year is better.
Maybe we could get a group purchase together.:brickwall
It is an empty feeling knowing what could have been. It has been that way for me for two years now. Looked like we had a shot and it feel apart. The injuries in year 2 set this up. Capers lost a lot of his senior players that year and they really never returned to form. I've said for a long time that that year was our achillies heal. Capers needs vertern players to succeed and the loss of those players was his inevitable downfall. There was no way they could retool the defense.
I would just like to commend that individual for staying till the end along with the rest of us. OK, SOME of the rest of us. I also want to thank all those regular Houston attendees who left at hafltime or the third QTR, just like you always do.
I have to say this is the first game that at the end I didn't have to stand in line at the restrooms, or do those baby step shuffles to get out the main doors and on the ramps walking back to the parking lot. heck I even moved down a couple of rows just to check out an alternative view angle or two. This game rocked for me. It was sweet to walk around and try out a few different seats. And go to the restroom whenever I WANTED too without having to worry about the lines.
Go Houstonites and keep up the good work. I drive much to far to have to wait n line either at the restroom or ramps anyway.
That picture does sum it up. Like the Chester Pitts uniform he is sporting.
Somehow, I doubt it.
I don't know if this is true or not but one of the newscasts tonight said there were only about 50 thousand at the game last night...not paid seats but actual attendance.
about half way through the first QTR, right about the time Mathis ran it back for a TD, the stands were pretty much full. There were some seats empty, so 50 thousand sounds about right to me.
by halfway through the 4th QTR, I think we were lucky to have 1000 in the entire stadium.
it had to be less than that i had never seen reliant so empty before i want to say about 35 thousand to 40 at its fullest point. and down to about 30 thousand after David threw his only touchdown of the Game
I actually stayed all the way until the clock read 0:00. Yes, in the 4th quarter.
Well I guess it is true then. I forgot to listen to the radio broadcast of the game and for the most part had the TV muted so I never heard anything about attendance. I do remember seeing one shot fairly early in the game and there were alot of empty seats.
Oh well. Better days ahead. Or years I guess.
Yeah, I feel the same way... just evertthing about this team is depressing, maybe the exception of our special teams...
I saw 70100 something at the game for attendance but it sure does not sound right
that was the 'tickets sold' attendance, which is what the NFL reports, not actual attendance, rdakers.
No..70,000 or so sounds about right. I was there and when the game started it looked not so full...but around 7 min into the game, I noticed the stadium had really started getting a bit fuller. But never got to capacity. I would say that 70+ sounds right..but only lasted about 2 minutes.
We stayed til beginning of 4th but oh so disappointed. Not worth staying on a sunday night when you work the next day. Had it been saturday, we probly would have stayed. What a shame......and I really love and support this team.
Not giving up.
Separate names with a comma.

DD usually naps 12-4 pm and today she slept from 10:30 am to.4:30pm I had to.wake her actually.
We have been sick and its wearing her out. She is still tired tho and I don't really want to let her sleep again till her usual bed time which is 8pm.
Poor baby had the stomach flu Sunday and is now teething as well. Her first tooth popped up yesterday.
I was thinking maybe her teething caused her fever and not eating on Sunday but she was throwing up and almost 24 hrs later I was throwing up...so I know its the flu. Just hoping she feels better soon. Her fever is only 100 and hasn't gotten higher and did break for a few hours.
Just hoping the other two don't get sick.
Do anyways his do I tell if its her teething or her being sick that is causing the fever and.discomfort? She is not cranky and still a happy playful baby, even on Sunday when she was throwing up she was still all smiles.

WBEZ News
Cleanup begins in wake of Irene
Irene is gone but the trouble it started isn't finished by a long-shot. It could be days or even weeks before some of the millions
without electricity get it back. Airlines will be busy untangling masses of stranded passengers delayed by canceled flights. And some rivers in New York and New England pose potentially major flood threats today.
And then there's the damage. It hasn't been tallied up yet but one private estimate is up to $7 billion.
Flooding is widespread in Vermont and the Mohawk River is over its banks in parts of New York. Officials say they may be seeing
500-year flood conditions on the Mohawk. New York City's three main airports will be reopening today as will part of the subway system. Commuters have been warned of long lines and waits.
Airports in Philadelphia and Washington are open and Boston's transit system is reopening. So are Atlantic City casinos.
Aviation officials in Chicago say almost 400 flights have been canceled at both of Chicago's airports because of Tropical
Storm Irene. Airlines canceled more than 300 flights at O'Hare International Airport and around 70 at Midway International Airport on Sunday.
Chicago's Department of Aviation says most of the cancellations are due to East Coast weather conditions. There aren't any delays. More than 11,500 flights have been canceled nationwide.
Weather officials downgraded Irene from a hurricane to a tropical storm Sunday as the storm's winds lost speed. As a hurricane, Irene had already unloaded more than a foot of water on North Carolina, spun off tornadoes in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, and left 4 million homes and businesses without power. At least 18 people died in the storm.
Meantime, New York City subway service is back on track for the morning rush. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said limited service resumed at 5:40 a.m. Monday. It said service remains suspended on Metro-North Railroad because of heavy damage from Tropical Storm Irene. Metro-North serves regions north of New York City, from Westchester County to southern Connecticut.
The MTA's decision Saturday to halt all subways, buses and commuter trains in preparation for the storm had threatened to disrupt the start of the work week for millions of New Yorkers. It was the first time a natural disaster ever shut the system down.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is making no apologies for ordering hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate for a hurricane that ended up doing relatively little damage in New York. Bloomberg said he was unwilling to risk the life of a single New Yorker in the face of Hurricane Irene. He spent days urging people to get out of harm's way and to prepare for storm. Irene caused some flooding and other problems in New York but no deaths or injuries.
The mayor said he's not sure whether it's the city's preparations or luck that prevented the toll from being worse. But he said he would make the same decisions again.

Investigators said that the suspects may have fled north on S Broad Street in a newer-model white Dodge Charger.
One robber is described as a black man, 5 feet 9, weighing about 160 pounds. He was last seen wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, white pants, gloves, framed glasses and a white baseball-type hat. The other robber is described as 6 feet tall, 180 pounds and wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with a light blue over shirt, dark pants, dark glasses and a black skull-type hat.
Anyone with information is asked to call Brooksville police at (352) 540-3800 or Anonymous Tips toll-free at 1-866-990-8477.

I'm 47 years old and have spend 40 years with a weight problem. I've had varied degrees of success losing weight, but I've always managed to put it back on. I AM that broken record that always keeps playing. It always skips at the same spot. I know that "I skip", yet I always hold onto that same, old record. I NEED to find a way to go "digital", or get rid of the "broken record" that is my weight struggle.
I do know this: when I am out of control and overeating, I am all or nothing at all. I eat whatever I want, whenever I want and embrace bad behavior. I don't worry about health at all, although subconsciously it is always there. I've asked many times "If I overate, but still went to the gym and worked out, would the cycle change?" The answer is: I don't know. I've never done it.
As someone with ADD and OCD ( Attention deficit disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder), I am easily thrown off of routine. With the exception of 4-10 am everyday, my work hours, I struggle with order, task completion, attention to detail, etc. It affects every part of my life and my health is no exception. I do know that if I eat well and get adequate rest and exercise, I am more successful in all areas of my life. My greatest focus now is to keep repeating the good behaviors, but staying cognizant that I have to always work on them. When I get complacent, I fall back to my old ways. Stress takes me out of my rhythm. I know that the consistency and rhythm is was breeds that success, but stress makes making good decisions more difficult for me. It's the hiccup in my brain that won't stop. But, I know it's there.
I have been extremely lucky to have Mike Boyle, Bob Hanson, Anthony Morando and the great people at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning who have helped me immensely, offer me support, education, opportunity, their world class facility and friendship. Mike and Bob are business partners and Anthony is their top trainer. They never judge me about my weight, my mental approach or anything else. They are considered "BEST PRACTICE" in the strength and conditioning world. I like to brag about them because they are world famous, yet they are humble, successful, positive people who care about others. That's probably why they got to be the number one gym in the United States. They care first and then show you the most effective methods of training, eating, sustaining health and better living.
I've been able to creep back to better eating and exercising habits in the last month at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning. They've known me at 375 pounds, 248, 315, 230 and 310. They know me well. They are friends. We know each others families, socialize and laugh a lot. Mike has a great saying: If you parents gave you one car and it was the only one you'd have in your lifetime, you'd take good care of it!" Treat your body like that!
I'm back to the point that no matter what is going on in my life with my family, friends, work, etc., that re-dedicating myself to my health has to be one of my priorities. If I don't work out or eat right or I do go the gym, those "stressors" still exist. Knowing that better health and exercise habits will only improve my life, is what I try and focus on everyday.
So, as many times as I've failed, I still feel like I will conquer my weight loss demons and I invite you to try and conquer yours. I'm having fun again and hopefully so will you.
Please follow along with "Hank's Big Adventure". I've always looked at the most successful people as those who've tried and failed the most, so they know more than everyone else.
Good luck! Email me any questions or comments to Hmorse @wror.com.

I'm already doing this for the set_eq() function I wrote, which uses EXCEPT. For that function, if you pass two statements with different numbers of columns, pgTAP says: # Failed test 148 # Number of columns differs between queries While for a call with the same numbers of columns but different data types (say int,text and inet,text), pgTAP says: # Failed test 149 # Column types differ between queries Essentially, while on a row object-level, they are different types, the caller of my function doesn't know that it's comparing rows, just that it's comparing result sets. So I like to give as much information as possible about the difference in the result sets of the queries. Hell, ideally it'd actually say something like: # Failed test 148 # Number of columns differs between queries # have: 4 columns # want: 3 columns # Failed test 149 # Column types differ between queries # have: (integer,text) # want: (inet,text) This gives the tester a lot of information to help diagnose the test failure.

About this project
We have one goal: TO BRING ADVENTURERS TOGETHER TO SHARE THEIR TRAVELS THROUGH OUR FREE APP.
In this ever changing social media based world, everything is always "what celebrity is doing this, what Pokemon is where, who is dating who, what disaster is happing now", and it is all just a bit overwhelming and to be quite honest, depressing.
Our idea is centered around creating a simple, user friendly app designed solely around sharing your adventures and encouraging people to get out and see the world. Whether you are a world traveler, sharing your adventures in South East Asia, or the casual hiker who wants to share your favorite local trail, this app will be for you.
The name, and final functionality are a moving target, but what we can promise is a fun, interactive, relaxing and uplifting user experience. The definite functions are:
- A social platform that allows you to share your adventures with other users on a macro or micro level. On a macro level, you can share pictures, either geo tagged or not. Brief descriptions if desired. Basically share as much or as little as you want. On a micro level, you can geo tag photos, share trail maps, tag hot spots, and more!
- Users will be screened for authenticity, no bots, no spam, no fake users asking if you'd like to help their wealthy uncle wire his millions of dollars into your bank account. Security and privacy is a core goal.
- We WILL incorporate some sort of "Give Back" opportunity in our app that will give users the opportunity to donate to preservation efforts around the world. We will not shove it down your throat, but this is an important mission for us.
Our Process if Funded:
1. Functionality Layout
Invest a lot of time into going through all the details and find the right people who can translate Programmer to Civilian and vice versa.
Go through every single screen and understand how all parts of the app interact with each other to ensure a great user experience.
2. Design
Once the functionality and user experience is PERFECT, we will focus on the design.
We are working with best in class designers to come up with a great look, comfortable feel, and a fun experience.
4. Going Live- Once funded, we hope to be live just 6 months later.
We will start by submitting our app to the iTunes and Android stores – icons, descriptions, etc. Once live, we will market our app to build its user base.
Risks and challenges
Risks and Challenges:
-Competition: We recognize that their is a great deal of social media competition in the market place and we need to differentiate ourselves. By create a unique user experience centered on a particular life style, we hope to capture users. We are not centered on taking users away from current platforms, we hope to be an addition to those platforms.
-User Base: As our app will be user based, we need to make sure that our marketing plan is centered around the types of users we hope to capture, "the adventurer". We will team up with outdoor sporting good manufactures and encourage them to promote our app in exchange for non intrusive ad space in our ap.
-Final Execution: We know we MUST deliver a user experience that is simple, friendly and fun. We hope to accomplish this through extensive testing, re-testing, followed by more testing.

By Todd Bernhard on Wed, 07/16/2014
As an app developer, I'm always trying to find ways to make my apps more visible, and one way is to email existing customers, who have opted-in, about new apps. But plain old text emails don't stand out, and if you get too fancy, the emails might not display well on mobile devices. By definition, my mobile app customers have iPhones (or Android) and most users read their email on smartphones so proper formatting is important.
I got a chance to try Mail Designer from Equinux. I knew their product works because I've been on the receiving end of their emails for their Mac apps and those emails always stand out. But with a chance to try it myself, I was able to see how powerful, and easy, it is to create my own messages.
Master your iPhone in one minute a day:
Sign up to iPhone Life's Tip of the Day Newsletter and we'll send you a tip each day to save time and get the most out of your iPhone or iPad.
You can also collaborate with team members and integrate with email services like MailChimp. If you expect your recipients to be on mobile devices, you might want to upgrade to the Mail Designer Pro version. With that, you can preview in real-time what the message will look like on a variety of devices (including non-Apple ones.)
The entry-level Mail Designer 2 app offers numerous in-app purchases for various templates and features, or you could go with the $99.99 Pro version. For many users, the entry-level version may be all they need, and is a great way to get started. There's a good comparison chart on the Equinux web site.
The Mail Designer 2 app lists for $29.99, but is on sale for just $9.99 through July 17. This is a steal and would certainly pay for itself with just a few new customers. So now you have no excuse not to make your emails prettier, and more mobile friendly!

Let's start with the 'Sayings of Chairman Wan,' the Chief Executive at Shuanghui, the world's newest well-known meat behemoth, temporarily shoving aside Brazil's JBS. He said this about beef: "Chinese traditionally like to eat pork. China doesn't have the resources to raise cattle on a large scale. If there isn't a lot of beef, you'll have to eat pork if you like to eat meat,"
His comment leaves open the strong possibility that he might add some more resources to his portfolio. U.S. and Australian beef interests, often one and the same when it comes to ownership, should be watching Shuanghui closely, maybe even tidying up their financials just in case a buyer comes calling from deep in the heart of China. For you doubters, here's another hint taken from an interview with Chairman Wan Long several years ago: "Our goal is to be the biggest in China, and the leading meat supplier in the world."
Being the prince of pork won't get that world domination goal done. Beef needs to be a part of the Shuanghui portfolio, as does poultry. With big ambitions and big capitalist dollars behind them, to think they won't be sniffing around America's feed yards soon is missing the big picture, akin to stumbling into a pasture somewhere in Texas and saying, "Bull, what bull? I don't see anything." The Smithfield purchase is a buying signal that should be noticed by everyone in American agriculture.
To cool American consumers' concerns about huge price hikes caused by a major boost in exports, Chinese consumers like pig heads, feet and offal, products that aren't on U.S. menus. It should be seen as an immediate export bonanza by the pork industry. Later, as Chinese develop a taste for ham, bacon and pork chops, trading in hog futures should be the ag equivalent of owning the keys to Fort Knox.
Concerned about a lapse in food safety? More sayings from Chairman Wan: "The question of food safety, whether it's to American consumers or Chinese consumers, is a big deal. Our nation has a tighter and tighter grip over food safety."
Well, they don't have a tight enough grip, yet, but the expertise they gain from Smithfield will get them there quickly.
Follow the money
Shuanghui isn't a communist conspiracy to take over the American food supply; it is a red-blooded American capitalist conspiracy. Nearly half of it is owned by major centers of capitalism like Goldman Sachs, New Horizon Capital and CDH Investments, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund. CDH and Goldman Sachs led a group that paid $250 million to buy out to the Chinese government's stake in Shuanghui seven years ago.
Paul J. Fribourg, Continental Grain's chairman and chief executive, doesn't seem to be one of those enthusiastic capitalists, though. In a mildly worded statement, he said, "Continental Grain congratulates Smithfield on the proposed merger with Shuanghui International. We have been advocating for value creation and are pleased that the Smithfield board of directors and management are being proactive in realizing value for the benefit of all of its shareholders."
Continental Grain,owners of 6% of Smithfield, immediately sold its entire position by last Friday at an average price of about $32.88. Shuanghui had offered $34 a share. CG must have been betting on the short end of the deal when they gave away $1.12 per share of that value creation in the quick sell out.
The Wall Street Journal reported that all is well financially with the six top execs at Smithfield, too. Under the terms of the buyout, they will all receive generous seven figure bonuses for staying with the company. The most generous payment of course, would go to Smithfield Chief Executive Larry Pope who would receive $8.3 million under the program if he remains in his post for three years.
Follow the politics
Charles Grassley, Republican Senator from Iowa, the largest U.S. hog producing state, had some concerns. A very vocal right-winger who often spoke out on behalf of smaller government with fewer rules and regs so that business would be free to do business, he had to walk a thin, tight rope when he commented on the proposed buyout.
"No one can deny the unsafe tactics used by some Chinese food companies. And, to have a Chinese food company controlling a major U.S. meat supplier, without shareholder accountability, is a bit concerning.
"CFIUS's scrutiny of this acquisition is vitally important. How might this deal impact our national security? What role does the Chinese government play in Shuanghui, like it does in so many other 'private' companies? These are important questions for CFIUS to get answered," Grassley said.
CFIUS, (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) is an inter-agency committee authorized to review transactions that could result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person ("covered transactions"), in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.
Talking about the buyout with the Des Moines Register, Sam Carney, former president of the National Pork Producers Council, said, "When you hear things like that you always have mixed emotions, but I always say you need to sit down and think about it and let cooler heads prevail. I believe this is going to be an excellent opportunity to export more pork to China."
During a phone interview with Smithfield, Virginia's WAVY.com, Republican right-winger and delegate to that state's house, Robert Marshall complained, "This is going to cost jobs for Virginians, this is going to cost in health, this is going to cost public confidence.
"The company that wants to buy them, the Chinese company, has deplorable record for safety and processing, I would not buy one pork chop from these people. Who wants to buy food from a company with a sloppy safety record? If you love your kids, you won't chance it. A lot of people will lose their jobs because of this."
It should be noted that Marshall is an extremist who loves to cry wolf and likes to make over-the-top statements that gain him some fast and loose press coverage.
I'll give the last word to my friend Raoul Baxter (Full disclosure: he was a long-time Smithfield exec before retiring a few years ago) who wrote this in "Cutting to the Chase," a blog he does for Meatingplace: "Maybe most important for people to realize about this deal is that Shuanghui has invested in real property and bricks and mortar. Regardless of what happens, that stays in the U.S. Also, as an American subsidiary they are subject to the same laws all American companies are.
"As Shuanghui is already finding out in its initial 'welcome to America'(as it) is familiarizing itself to American lawyers, particularly the heroes of the class action bar. In tandem you will have the usual complaints from Midwest politicians and some producer groups. Albeit stupid criticism, it will come nonetheless.
"International deals are never perfect. However, in this case, as far as pork demand goes, it will be greatly beneficial to the entire U.S. pork system."
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Chuck Jolley, a veteran food-industry journalist and commentator.
