You get what you pay for...
"If you want an inexpensive sandal, this is fine. As for the the other reviews comparing it to the more expensive brand, there is no comparison. I purchased based on those reviews, but when I held the sandals side by side, the others are more expensive for good reason. These are not bad sandals, they are just not the best."

Students compete in Special Olympics swim meet
ABINGDON, Va. - A 50-yard event made a splash in Abingdon, Virginia Friday.
More than 25 students took part in the first annual Special Olympics swim meet. We learned the students started out with the basic water readiness skills and slowly made their way into the pool until they were competition-ready.
Those involved with the Special Olympics say their mission is to build up courage and pride in the students, all while having a little fun. "It's also been therapeutic on our students, some have gross motor skill issues and the water is just therapy to their little bodies," said Lora Kiser, swim coach.
Kiser says they couldn't have done it without the overwhelming support of the community and she says they plan to keep this tradition going for years to come.

Posted on 02/06/2013 5:16:09 PM PST by nickcarraway
A 70-year-old high school basketball coach shot and killed one teenager and wounded a second as they attempted to rob him outside the school, Detroit police said.
Ernest Robinson, an assistant girls basketball coach at Martin Luther King Jr. High School, was accosted by two males Friday evening while walking two members of the girls team outside King High, said Officer Cassandra Lewis, a police spokeswoman.
They announced a robbery, a struggled ensued and he pulled a weapon and fired, said Lewis, who added that Robinson is a reserve police officer and licensed to carry a concealed pistol.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.nationalpost.com ...
That's the only risk in robbing someone in a "gun free" zone - some animals are more equal than others.
Interesting high school name...
why do they insist on naming schools and streets Martin Luther King? sheesh...
Kids. Whatcha gonna do?
I think there were something like 5 separate defensive shootings in Detroit last week.
Another screwy headline that is confusing and makes one think that it might have been the basketball coach who was doing the robbing.
It's to tell sane people they're in a very bad neighborhood and to leave as quickly as possible.
Coach: "And get off my damn lawn too !!"
The media will find photos of the perps when they were six years old and publish them just to bias the public as they did with Trayvon.
Try to get all of it next time, though.
Usually they just say, "drop and give me 50!"
It won't happen. Most defensive shootings in Detroit are black on black.
I especially liked this one despite the fact that granny could use some range time.
ha! that's exactly what it says...
I think that's what the late perp said.
Happens every day. What difference does it make!? I guess we're in Never-Let-A-Crisis-Go-To-Waste mode so all "gun crimes" are highlighted in the name of the obama agenda.
"a struggled ensued..."
What is a 'struggled'?
And now this 70 year old man will have no peace for the time he has left.
He will be hounded by the family thugs, the press, and lawyers.
I didn't even notice that. I've given up on journalists as competent writers and mostly just try to figure out what facts they are trying to report.
Oh Snap! Trayvoned!
Somebody picked the wrong old man
Apparently he was 'down for the stuggle'.
"Scotts mother has told reporters that her son did not have a gun.
I lost my son and I want answers, Priscilla Scott said."
And so it starts!!
your worthless rug rat was involved in a felony and got shot.....next question please???
He was a good boy just tryin to turn his life around.
Her answer is that she spawed a thug that was turned lose to become a feral animal roaming the hood looking for easy pray.
Tyrone jr. made a bad decision and he be dee e dead!
He was a good boy just tryin to turn his life around.
I assume the.victim is black since the mainstream media is not.covering this story.
It wont happen. Most defensive shootings in Detroit are black on black.
You never know...
The New York Times says George Zimmerman is a "white Hispanic", so maybe they can say Eugene Robinson is a "white black".
Bloomberg would rather have the coach and the 2 girls dead.Having taught in the South Bronx I know that one of the greatest untold stories is how the black perpetraitors prey on their own.
Because that is where most violence occurs. Circular logic applies here, but no lie on any given night on any street named MLK there is bad stuff happening.
When out of towners need to score drugs, they always find out where MLK Street is, and head there.
When out of towners need to score drugs, they always find out where MLK Street is, and head there.
Just another example of kids sacrificed in the fire to MLK...

Maybe not. Do you know what they call some doofus that is too untalented to become a rapper? A "promoter". I'm serious.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a federal agency that protects investors and maintains the integrity of the U.S. securities markets. It was created in order to restore public confidence in the U.S. capital markets after the stock market crashed in October 1929. SEC responsibilities include:
The SEC also oversees the PCAOB, which was created by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Although the SEC has statutory authority to establish financial accounting and reporting standards for publicly held companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, it has historically relied on the FASB in the private sector for this function to the extent that the FASB demonstrates ability to fulfill the responsibility in the public interest.

Cities crumbling, zombies attacking, tsunamis engulfing, brutal regimes or killer machines crushing the human race to dust. Dystopia has now become so pervasive it's almost engulfed the entire science fiction genre.
I felt driven to search for an alternative to the tiresome predictions of everything getting much worse; I wanted to imagine a world where everything has got much better.
A world where we eventually get it right, where we don't oppress each other, where we don't burn anything to make anything else, we don't rip the planet to shreds to maintain our way of life and we don't need to rely on endless growth to achieve contentment.
News From Gardenia will be a science fiction novel; a man called Gavin Meckler who was born in 1979 arrives 200 years into the future where he discovers a world that is recognisable and yet utterly different. It's a place where it's possible to travel from one side of the world to the other in a matter of minutes without burning fuel, but it's also a place where everyone is a gardener because that's how they can be sure to eat.
It is at once extraordinary and mundane. It is not finished, it is, as in any period of history, a world which is constantly changing, but the changes are sustainable, gentle and by default put people first.
As Gavin learns about this new world and the society he eventually becomes a part of, he also begins to learn about himself.
Everything in News from Gardenia could happen, there is no technology in Gardenia that hasn't already seen the light of day. In the current turmoil it could be argued that such optimism could only be suggested by a fool, indeed, such benign developments may not be very likely, but we may need to be reminded that they are entirely possible.
I undid my seat belt, opened the canopy and clambered out of the plane. The first thing that struck me was the silence. Not some spooky man-made laboratory silence, but the complete lack of the rumble. I realized that it was a sound, or lack of sound I'd only heard once before when I was in a mountainous region of Norway.Read more...
This book has 2 reviews with an average rating of 5 stars.
This is not Robert Llewellyns first book, but, I'd strongly argue that it's his best to date. Gavin Meckler is flying to a business meeting, when he encounters a strange cloud somewhere over Didcot. He lands in a nearby field only to find himself in the future, but this is no ordinary future, this is... (read more)

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Dallas Police Chief David Brown today disciplined two supervisors in connection with the mishandling of a 911 call made by a woman who was being murdered last month.
Veteran Lt. Todd Thomasson was issued "advice and instructions" for failing to ensure a supervisor was available to handle difficult calls in the 911 center on the morning of August 17, when Deanna Cook called for help. That is the lowest form of disciplinary action and for which there is no appeals process.
Police officials say Thomasson conducted a meeting which civilian 911 supervisor Kimberley Cole was attending. Cole told police officials she left a senior call taker in charge.
Cole, who was recently transferred to the property room, was issued a written reprimand.
"Cole was the manager on the floor when she left to attend a meeting during which time an emergency call came in which required her assistance/presence," a news release said. Cole has the right to appeal.
Thomasson declined to comment. Cole could not be immediately reached for comment.
Cook's relatives found her dead in her southern Dallas home two days after she made the 911 call. Her abusive ex-husband, Delvecchio Patrick, is facing a murder charge.
Current and former Dallas 911 employees say the center has been plagued by staffing shortages for years. City and police leaders say they are working to improve technology and staffing but they insist there is no staffing crisis, in part because they plug holes by having employees work overtime.
According to police documents, Cole told police officials she was the only member of the 911 management team on duty on the morning of Cook's call. She also cited management shortages and other pressing duties in defending her decision to leave a call taker in charge.
Earlier this month, the call taker who handled Cook's call was suspended 10 days and transferred to another division. A call taker who mishandled a call from Cook's concerned relatives shortly before they found her body was fired.
The Cook family this week filed a lawsuit against the city in federal court.
The Dallas police news release in its entirety:
Additional Discipline Issued for Handling of 911 Call
Following a supplemental investigation by the Internal Affairs Division and disciplinary hearings held today, Dallas Police Chief David O. Brown issued additional discipline for the handling of the 911 call that occurred on August 17, 2012.
Ms. Kimberly Cole, Manager III, received a Written Reprimand when she failed to be available to handle a difficult call for a 911 call taker. Ms. Cole was the manager on the floor when she left to attend a meeting during which time an emergency call came in which required her assistance/presence. Manager Cole is currently assigned to the Property Room and has been on the department since September 1997.
Lieutenant Ronald Thomasson received Advice and Instructions when he failed to ensure there was a supervisor available to handle difficult calls in the 911 Center. Lieutenant Thomasson conducted the meeting in which Manager Cole was attending. Lieutenant Thomasson is assigned to the Communications Division and has been on the department since November 1985.
The allegation for Lieutenant Ben Nabors for failing to ensure there was a supervisor available to handle difficult calls in the 911 Center, was classified as "Unfounded."
Under civil service rules, Manager Kimberly Cole has a right to appeal her discipline.

Earlier this week, Dove released an advertisement called Real Beauty Sketches, the latest video in their self-esteem campaign. Reception to this video has been largely positive, and while I understand why women are embracing the ad, all that glitters is not revolutionary gold.
We live in a society where we are told in many different overt and covert ways that a woman's only value is her beauty. Smart? Successful? Courageous? Not enough. Germaine Greer wrote about the ridiculousness of this idea late last year:
"At an event in Amsterdam recently, I was ordered by a woman on the stage to take the hand of the woman next to me, who happened to be 76-year-old Hedy d'Ancona, and tell her she was beautiful. This would be more conducive to her self-esteem, apparently, than reminding her that, having served as a minister under two Dutch governments, as a member of the European Parliament, and as chairman of Dutch Oxfam, she was immensely distinguished and I was honoured to be sitting next to her."
On top of that, this Dove ad tells us is that it is also not enough to be merely beautiful, you have to know it too. Those superficial messages of body politics – Love yourself! Nothing is sexier than confidence! You're prettier without make-up! – is just another way of prescribing how women should look, feel, and act. It's not your responsibility to be beautiful.
Not to mention that the form of 'beauty' that is being valued by Dove is the same beauty ideal that is presented by other beauty companies. I am loathe to rewrite things that have already been written perfectly, so I am going to quote a massive chunk of jazzylittledrop's excellent post on this subject:
Let's look at which descriptors the editors chose to include. When the participants described themselves, these were some of the things that were implied as negatives: fat, rounder face, freckles, fatter, 40— starting to get crows feet, moles, scars… Whereas some of the implied positive descriptors used by others were: thin face, nice thin chin, nice eyes that lit up when she spoke and were very expressive (my actual favorite), short and cute nose, her face was fairly thin (this was said twice), and very nice blue eyes. So… I don't know if anyone else is picking up on this, but it kinda seems to be enforcing our very narrow cultural perception of "beauty": young, light-skinned, thin. No real diversity celebrated in race, age, or body shape. So you're beautiful… if you're thin, don't have noticeable wrinkles or scars, and have blue eyes. If you're fat or old… uh, maybe other people don't think you look as fat and old as you do yourself? Great? Oh, and by the way, there are real women who look like the women on the left. What are you saying about them, exactly?
Indeed, for all their talk on real women and self-esteem, Dove has only ever presented a narrow definition of beauty in their advertisement campaigns. In 2010, Jezebel revealed a Craigslist ad seeking models for Dove's 'Real Beauty' campaign that seemed at odds with their messaging:

According to Dove's description for their latest video, "Women are their own worst beauty critics … Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful." What Dove fail to explain is the part they play in this statistic (and the part of their parent company, but I'll get to that in a minute). Dove claims to promote 'real beauty' in 'real women' but only if that beauty is accessible, and more importantly, marketable to a mainstream audience. Which gives you a strong sense of their motivation.
Dove is owned by Unilever, a multinational consumer goods company with products from foods and beverages to cleaning agents to personal care. Two of Unilever's brands are Pond's and Fair and Lovely, both of which market skin whitening products in India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei and Timor Leste. In 2007, Fair and Lovely had to withdraw television advertisements that depicted sad, unemployed, single, dark skinned women suddenly finding new boyfriends and glamorous careers after they had lightened their skin. There is a very clear message there that stands in stark opposition to Dove's "You are more beautiful than you think" rhetoric.
(The hypocrisy of Unilever owning Lynx/Axe, renowned for its sexist advertisements, has been written about by people more intelligent than me.)
No matter how unethical you think that is, Unilever is well within its rights to send those kinds of mixed messages because they are a company responsible for many brands in many countries selling products for profit.
This is not to offend or dismiss people that have gained something from this ad. I certainly value my body-confidence and, as someone who's first positive thoughts were the result of compliments from others, I know that there is no 'right' path to a strong self-esteem. However, Dove's campaigns deserve to be critiqued. To paraphrase @definatalie, a multinational company is not the best source of empowerment (particularly when that company is actively trying to disempower your brown sisters).

Product Questions
It does not, but the pump installs inline with your existing feed line so in most cases no extra tubing is necessary assuming your system is already plumbed from the water source to the RO/DI unit.
Unfortunately, as the sediment filter beings to clog over time, this can create resistance to flow and may negatively impact the performance of the booster pump. For this reason we don't recommend installing the booster after the prefilters. If you have concerns with larger particulates affecting your booster pump, we do have a more open-mesh strainer device for installation prior to the booster pump, located here http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/dm-fit-filter-strainer.html.
Have a great day!
The pressure will depend on your incoming water parameters but 20psi would be pretty typical. No worries about going too far though, the pump itself has a pressure bypass on top that will allow you to turn it down if its too high.
We do recommend the booster pump to increase your pressure above 50 PSI. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The Quick connect fittings can be removed once installed. This is a matter of holding the mur lock gasket with one hand and pulling and twisting the tubing out like with a finger trap. I have included a link below to instructions on removing the tubing. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
What maximum pressure can I use without worrying that something going to explode,
Thank you .
Where should I connect the booster pump,the first think Or after two canisters filter before marbrane?
The Booster pump kit is all you will need to have increased pressure. Your current ASO will work great!
With a set up such as yours we would recommend the Booster pump if possible to keep the pressure optimal for the membrane. DI resin will tend to deplete quickly in the first several gallons and slow down after that. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Currently only the 1/4" booster pump is available in kit form. We carry the 3/8" pump as a replacement pump for folks that already have a system, though you could buy a power supply and pressure switch to make your own 'kit".
Full Details
The Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump Kit Includes and Features:
- Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump
- Aquatec transformer
- Aquatec PSW pressure switch
- ¼" push connect fittings
- Patented "flex-mount" base plate which significantly dampens vibrations and reduces noise
- Adjustable pump pressure
- Adjustable shut-off pressure point
Note: Aquatec 8800 Booster Pumps do require a minimum of 20 PSI to operate. Not having proper pressure feeding the booster pump will cause poor performance, and void the warranty.
Works great By Kawajetski914 on 2/14/2017Kawajetski914 would recommend this product to a friendI had a boosted pump that really didn't do the job. So I lost hope.than Aquatec 8800 was popping up all over the web.after reading the reviews, I decide to give it a try..well as you read above this pump does everything you need it to do. Save waste water pump out cleaner RO water faster and no Nosie. VERY HAPPY with this pump.
Awesome By Jason on 1/14/2017Jason would recommend this product to a friendAllows your RO/DI system to run at the recommended PSI instead of whatever your water pressure is from the city. Shutdown switch works great. Setup and mounting the pump is simple.
Aquatec Booster Pump By Brandon L. on 1/7/2017Brandon L. would recommend this product to a friendI'm kicking myself for not purchasing this before. In all my years of reefing, this has got to be one of the best additions I have ever made. Was at 45psi before and at 95 now. Water was a trickle before and it's now a nice steady stream. My unit vibrates quite a bit. It's mounted on the wall and is audible in my daughters bedroom up above my garage. Minus one star for the vibration but this thing seriously kicks butt.
Worth every Penny! By keith on 12/9/2016keith would recommend this product to a friendI bought my RO/DI unit and I was only getting 35 psi. Once I bought this booster pump, it is now reading 90 psi. It works so much faster and much better than it use to. The TDS is at 6 now and the best I was getting before was 11. If you are getting less than 50 psi, I would highly recommend this!
Super Quiet, low vibration - really works! By Jerry on 12/6/2016Jerry would recommend this product to a friendLike others here, my water pressure was down around 40psi. At that pressure, the RO unit is very inefficient and you get mostly waste water. I'm super pleased with this booster pump. I agree with the other reviewers, Even if you have "ok" water pressure, this will boost it to the optimum level for the RO unit. You'll get much more filtered water and much less waste water. It will extend the life of some of your key filter components too. I also want to mention how quiet this pump is. This pump is barely audible. All you can hear is a soft low thrum. It's also low RPM, so it has very little vibration. The vibration it does have is low frequency, and the rubberized mounting pads easily absorb it. I can set this on a table top and it doesn't budge. The power supply consists of a white module, with a fairly long power cord on each side (one running to the pump, the other to your AC outlet). The pump comes with two rubber plugs sticking out of the input/output holes. You really have to pull really hard to get these out. A note to that effect would be good in the instructions. The video doesn't mention this either. In one scene they are there, and in the next they are magically gone.
Wish I had got this sooner! By Chris on 12/6/2016Chris would recommend this product to a friendAfter many years of using RO/DI units at typical residential house pressures I finally broke down and bought this...wish I had done it sooner!
Typical pressures at the unit would run from 30-40 PSI before...now consistently run at 90 PSI. The performance boost is amazing. Not only rate of creating product water...but rejection ration and rate at which DI resin is consumed.
Seems a bit pricey until you see what it can do...would never run my RO/DI without one now!
1/4" Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump Kit Does what it says. By Joseph on 10/2/2016Joseph would recommend this product to a friendBoosted my pressure from 40 psi to 90. Works Great!
Wow you need this... By franksreefs on 8/24/2016franksreefs would recommend this product to a friendI have a well with enough pressure for normal household things. I'd heard that a booster pump was necessary if you have a well. So when the RO unit and the pump arrived, I set it up WITHOUT the pump just to see what would happen. I purchased the glycerin-filled pressure gauge so I could see the pressure as it was operating. Pressure was 20-30psi and the unit was barely producing any water. So I hooked up the pump and wow what a difference! Very satisfied. You seriously need a booster pump with a well.
Booster pump By Chuck on 8/5/2016Chuck wouldn't recommend this product to a friendIf you are like me and on a well, this booster pump is a must. My RO/DI unit would not produce anything worth talking about, but after installing this booster pump, I am now producing about 7 gph.
They've said it, I'll say it again... By LogTech on 8/1/2016LogTech wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThis is totally worth it. Even if your water pressure is decent, this will make it better. Does what it says, and does it well.
If you hate saving money and like wasting water, don't get this. Otherwise, GET ONE.
Great product and service By Tomoko on 4/30/2016Tomoko would recommend this product to a friendI am very happy with the booster pump kit and the help I received from BRS. It worked as it is supposed to from the get go. It takes such a short time to make a lot of water. I can step up on water changes.
Tripled my water production By Jim on 4/19/2016Jim would recommend this product to a friendHave well water and couldn't get my rodi to work rite. Bought this booster pump and works great would highly recommend.

I love that all of them just want to get back and help Luffy out. I still really want to know what Chopper read in the paper

Jackie Sparks was born to Bradford A. Jensen and Leola Zwahlen Jensen in Castle Dale. At the age of 5 her family moved to Ferron where her father began teaching. She lived here until she married her husband, Andy Sparks. The first 20 years of Jackie and Andy's married life was spent in Iowa. She enjoyed driving truck with her husband and had many fun and exciting experiences. In 1972 Jackie and her husband moved back to Ferron. She loves the people and is thankful to live in Ferron. Jackie is an avid Utah Jazz and BYU fan and enjoys attending games with family or friends.
Jackie began working for Ferron City at the Millsite Golf Course in 1992. She has been privileged to work at the course for Mayors Dale Roper, Garth Larsen, Kent Larsen, Gil Bowden, Gil Conover and JoAnn Behling and with all three golf pros, Jerry Braun, Steve Burke and most recently, Jordan Leonard. Jackie is passionate about the game of golf and about the Millsite Golf Course. Her favorite time to work was on Sunday mornings. She loved her interaction with the people that would come every week to golf. She was a favorite of the regular group too. They fondly remember joking with her and teasing her with their money. While working at the golf course, Jackie loved meeting new people from out of the area, learning where they were from and what would bring them to golf in Ferron. She has been an active member of the Ladies Golf Association since it began and still enjoys golfing with the ladies. Jackie is a people person and has always had the ability to communicate with people. She is friendly and outgoing and has a great wit about her. Jackie retired from the golf course in the spring of 2011 and has been greatly missed (especially by the Sunday morning crowd). She was such a familiar face at the course that occasionally as she travels she comes across someone who recognizes her as someone they met when they came to play golf. This sums up the type of person Jackie is, someone who becomes part of you from the first time you meet her. Her love of Ferron, of golf, and of the people who live here is what makes her such a valuable asset in our community and is one of the reasons Ferron City is proud to have Jackie as an Honored Citizen in the Peach Day Parade.

Looks like Kishimoto is dead set on Keeping Naruto as a BaaKaa (Idiot), However he's an Idiot with a Big Heart, Great Ninja Skills, Incredible Chakra, and Spot On Instincts. I have to now agree with others who have drawn similarities to Goku, except that Naruto has deeper feellings than Goku ever did.
The are two Bright spots in this BAAKAA-rization of Naruto:
1) Tobirama observed that Naruto is idiotic....LIKE HASHIRAMA, well if I were to be an idiot, I'd say that is great company to be compared with, On top of that Tobirama also said that Naruto might ned up a greater Hokage than Hashirama. This is very very important for the story, and it explains why Tobirama, Hashirama, and Minato were Edo-Tensei-ed to life. Tobirama is the Narator and critical but objective observer. Hashirama is the current reigning Greatest Hokage, he's here to witness and endorse the passing of the Crown-Title to Naruto. Finally Minato brings in the propoer emotional context to Naruto's development, a proud father admiring and admonishing his son to acheive destiny and greatness.
I see, you're more stupid than my brother
You might even become a better hokage than my brother
2) The second Point/bright spot is that Naruto has an unexpected ally. The Kyuubi who was once thought of as an evil hateful demon Fox, is actually a very inteligent and observant Chap. Naruto has inside him an ancient creature with a great deal of power, and as it turns out, wisdom too. This aspect of Kurama was first hinted here (maybe not first, but close):
Here Kakashi makes an Observation about the Kyuubi
And Here:
Kyuubi Has great powers of Observation
So to summarize Naruto is no ordinary Idiot, he is an Idiot of exceptionally good company. On top of this, Naruto has a powerful, smart, and reliable partner inside him..The Kyuubi.
Finally, The Intro to Sage-Kyuubi mode was something underpowering. Naruto did not turn into SO6P or gain a Rinnegan, However, I feel that there is a LEVELU-2 several chapters around the corner. This is consistent with Kishimoto's writting style, he won't just give it all away in one go on the first try.
If Naruto and Kurama acheive a whole new level of powers through Sage Mode, Pa toad will not be involved, although I gues he could give them clues on using Sage Mode since he has far more experience than Naruto or Kurama, but as I see and have bee calling it, Naruto cannot simple Absorb some Natural energy same as he always did, in the same quantities as he always had. In order for him and Kurama to be a real threat, and to attain SO6P level, they have to involve ALL of Kurama's Chakra, in effect, Kurama Must Become A Sage. When this happens then everything will change. However I don't expect it to happen soon, the story has a long way to go and Kishi won't pull out his trump Card this early.

Mobile traffic is converting at 4.37%, Affiliate Window reports.
Bill Siwicki
14.72% of all December 2012 sales through the Affiliate Windownetwork of 10,000 affiliate sites were made through mobile devices, up from 12.30% in November 2012 and 5.79% in December 2011, the U.K. affiliate network reports.
5.8% of sales in December stemmed from smartphones, up from 4.64% in November, Affiliate Window says. 8.92% of December sales were made on tablets, up from 7.66% in November.
19.04% of traffic on the affiliate network in December came through mobile devices, up from 16.29% in November, the network reports. 11.11% of December traffic was from smartphones, up from 9.45% in November. 7.93% of December traffic stemmed from tablets, up from 6.84% in November.
Mobile traffic on the affiliate network converted in December 2012 at a rate of 4.37%, up from 3.89% in November 2012 and 3.68% in December 2011, Affiliate Window says.
Conversion is up because more consumers have become more comfortable with shopping on mobile devices, says Matt Swan, a client strategist at Affiliate Window.
"And with more advanced devices being launched, coupled with improved Internet connectivity through these devices, it has been easier for consumers to transact through their mobile devices without the page load speeds being as problematic as they have been in the past," Swan says.
Additionally, many more affiliates and retailers launched mobile-optimized versions of their sites in 2012, Swan says.
"By launching mobile-optimized versions of their sites, these companies have made it more intuitive for visitors to browse, select and ultimately purchase products directly from the mobile site," he says. "Previously the user experience was fiddly, with the user having to zoom in to see the products and descriptions, and required the visitor to work harder to be able to check out. With more advertisers providing their visitors with a fully optimized mobile site, it is more convenient to convert through a mobile handset, hence the improvement we have seen in mobile conversion rates."
When it comes to sales by type of mobile device, Apple Inc. has a commanding lead. For the entirety of 2012, 59% of mobile sales through Affiliate Window's network came from iPads and 23% from iPhones, the network reports. Only 12% of sales occurred on an Android device while 3% happened on a BlackBerry and 3% on other mobile devices.

Patent Models: Textile and Sewing Machines
For much of the nineteenth century, inventors submitted a model with their patent application to the United States Patent Office. The National Museum of American History's patent model collection began with the acquisition of 284 models from the Patent Office in June 1908, and reached more than 1,000 models by the end of that summer. In 1926, Congress decided to dispense with the stored collection of models and gave the Smithsonian Institution the opportunity to collect any models it wanted. Today, the Museum's collection exceeds 10,000 patent models dating from 1836 to 1910.
The Museum's Textile Collection contains over four thousand patent models. The collection includes many examples of carding machines, spinning machines, knitting machines, rope making machines, looms, baskets, carpets, fabrics, and sewing machines. Even the simple clothespin is well represented, with 41 patent models.
This sampling of patent models from the Textile Collection describes the two major groupings, textile machinery and sewing machines. In both groups, the examination of the models begins with the earliest of the inventions. In this early group of patent models, the textile machinery models date from 1837 to 1840, and the sewing machine models from 1842 to 1854.
For more information about the Museum's patent model collection, see Patent Model Index, Guide to the Collections of the National Museum of American History.

1838 Angell's Patent Model of a Loom Temple
- Description
- Loom Temple Patent Model
- Patent No. 987, issued October 19, 1838
- Emory A. Angell of Killingly, Connecticut
- In his patent specification, Angell stated that "this temple is of the kind which holds the selvage of the cloth between jaws, which are opened by the beat of the lathe, and is in many respects similar to such as have been long in use." He claimed, as his invention, the way in which the upper and lower jaws were connected by pins to form the hinge-joints.
- On the original wrapper containing the patent application papers is a faint handwritten note "see Saml. P. Mason's Temple July 1837." In the process of checking Angell's patent, Charles M. Keller, the patent examiner, probably wrote that notation but found no conflict with the Mason patent and thus granted Angell his patent.

No Dilemma On San Jose Sharks' Defense
CSN's Brodie Brazil wrote an article the other day on how the Sharks now have somewhat of a problem on their hands with owning too many equally-talented players on defense.

San Francisco Giants: What If There Was a Second Wild Card Spot?
First of all, it was weird to hear the president of a ball club pretty much publicly state that his team has close to zero chance of making the playoffs with a few weeks left. However, that is what kind of honest upper management the Giants have, and i would not have it any other way. Tell it to me straight.

San Francisco 49ers: Alex Smith Looking Composed in Jim Harbaugh's Offense
A first-year head coach, desperate quarterback and one-time disgruntled running back and wide receiver turned into a 33-17 win in Week 1 of the NFL season.
Who knew?
The biggest jolt of Week 1 was the composure of Alex Smith, who went 15 of 20 for 124 yards. The biggest stat, though, was the fact Smith had zero turnovers -- a rarity in 49er Land.

San Francisco 49ers: Ted Ginn and the Defense Come Out To Play In Week 1 Win
Like I said, it was tale of four different quarters for this team. The first quarter started with a rough first defensive drive and ended with a 49er fumble and recovery in Seattle territory.
The second quarter was centered around the third down play, which the 49ers could by no means execute. That lack of execution led to four trips

San Jose Sharks: Training Camp Starts September 17; Kyle Wellwood Still On the Market
The position that needs to be filled is a third or fourth line player, preferably a winger. Currently, San Jose will start the season with Torrey Mitchell, Michal Handzus and Jamie McGinn on the third line, and any combination of Andrew Murray, James Sheppard, Andrew Desjardins and Benn Ferriero on the fourth line.

When It Comes to Playoff-Like Baseball, the San Francisco Giants Are the Elite
Maybe it was the orange jerseys, orange rags waving or the sell-out crowd living and dying with every pitch thrown, but the crowd knew and both teams knew it -- this was a game with meaning.
Suddenly, the Giants of 2011 were the Giants of 2010. Cody Ross hit a home run and made a diving catch, Aubrey Huff was playing first base, Mark DeRosa was the first one on the dugout step, a misfit like Jeff Keppinger had an RBI double and manager Bruce Bochy was making moves -- and they were working.

San Jose Sharks: 5 Players That Could Surprise in 2011-12
Maybe "new-look" is a bad term. The team still has the same core of Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Dan Boyle. They even have the same young stars like Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture.
However, the average Sharks fan may not know who the rest of the supporting players on the roster are, with all the moves that have happened this offseason.

A Disgruntled Frank Gore Is A Weary San Francisco 49ers' Offense
Instead, he stood dressed on the sidelines with a bit of a disgruntled look on his face.
It needs to be understood that Gore's mean-looking mug is just the way he was made, so maybe there was nothing wrong. However, the 49ers' offense did look flightless on Saturday night, which is why the talks of Gore's contract must be a top priority in Niner Land.

San Francisco Giants' Baseball Is Torture, But Not the Good Kind
You know how I know?
The defending World Series champions, and a team in the middle of a competitive playoff race, are in danger of being swept by the worst team in baseball.
Do you cringe when you watch Giants baseball these days? How about turn away from the television once the opposing team scores over three runs?
You're not alone.

September 1 Marks the Start of the San Francisco Giants' Playoff Push
The Giants are a mess. It think we will all agree to that. A few late-inning throw-aways, slew of injuries and the surging Diamondbacks prove that.
Still, San Francisco remains just 2.5 games back after all that with a whole lot of baseball yet to be played.

Three 777 Ranch in Ferron hosted their annual country western music and cowboy poetry event. When the guests arrived on this bright cloudless, sunny afternoon at the Three 777 Ranch.
They were met by Pam Benbrooks, a young woman from Macon, Georgia and a saddle horse. Over under the cottonwood trees a little way east of the lane to the ranch were three cowboy cooks. They were cooking over a charcoal fire tri-tip roasts, chicken and pieces of mountain lion. One of the cooks offered a sample taste and claimed that he had shot the mountain lion earlier that day east of the ranch. The cooks were Mark Moffett, Ed Carey and Brad Benson.
Tom and Jeannie Wetterman and her dog Bella from New Mexico were driving a pair of mules pulling a wagon and giving the guests rides. Tom Wetterman is a skilled mule driver. Wetterman said he drives mules for Wells Fargo at various events around the United States. He also said their son is working on the ranch and attending the horsemanship camp. The Wetterman's have been coming here for the last six or seven years and they have known Rick and Jennie Benson for more than 25 years.
Rick Benson welcomed everyone to the dinner and Cowboy Poetry. He then introduced Pastor Tim Lacock who gave a prayer and blessing on the food. The ranch crew had arranged two rows of food tables and the guests were observed going down both sides of each row of tables filling their plates with steaks cut from the tri-tip roasts, chicken, potato salad, baked potatoes, rolls, lemonade, cakes, pies and several other good foods.
Jeff Gore and Jean Prescott from Texas were the main part of the entertainment. Their stage was a flatbed truck at the north end of the huge barn. Gore and Prescott have recorded on compact discs and made them available for sale. Gore and Prescott entertained last year at the Three 777 Ranch.
The first song sung by Gore was "Colorado Trail". When the song ended Gore said he tells many stories with his songs and poetry. The title of his next song was, "I Know Too Many Stories For A Song". And I know too many people to bring them all along. The song told of events where he had met various people.
Ron Eamon of Tooele presented his version of Cowboy Poetry. Both Eamon and Gore have mustaches and they discussed a competition. Eamon said could you imagine the look on Gore's mothers face when he was born with that mustache. Eamon said he wanted to be a Western singer like Gore.
Eamon's first Cowboy story started with: My everyday silver is plastic; my John Deere was breaking your field while your Dear John was breaking my heart. My wife ran away with my best friend and I sure do miss him. I have got hair oil on my ears, my glasses are slipping down but baby I can see through you. The next time you throw your frying pan in my face I ain't going to be there. They may put me in prison but they can't stop my face from breaking out. When you leave, walk out backwards and think you are walking in. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You are only a splinter as I slide down the banister of life. These are song titles I would like to hear.
Eamon then quoted several great cowboy poems such as "Pertineer Perkins" and "Jack Carters Courtin." Then he quoted the poem about, "The Cowboy and The Sea Gull," and "The Whole Load."
Jennie Benson performed additional musical entertainment on the accordion, with Katie Benson, and Elizabeth Baiebe on fiddles.
Gore introduced Jean Prescott of Ovalo, Texas as the gold standard of cowboy music sung by ladies. She has won just about every award a cowgirl singer can win in the United States of America. Prescott began with patriotic songs in remembrance of Memorial Day. Her first song was "These Things Say Freedom To Me." She talked about our children not being able to say the pledge of allegiance in so many places and they do not know what their freedom is all about. Then she sang a song about the US Flag followed by "I've Got the Cowgirl Blues." Prescott has a beautiful voice for yodeling which she included in several of her songs. She spent some of her time teaching the audience how to yodel. Prescott then told a story of a new 4-year-old mare she purchased at a horse auction.
The horse had three bright shiny staples holding an ear in place. When Jean was waiting for the papers on the horse from the owner a little boy came by and told her about the horse.
The little boy said it took them three hours to get the horse in the trailer and they had to throw the mare to trim her feet. These comments did not give her much confidence about making a good purchase.
Prescott said I have to say she turned out to be a great riding horse.
Gore quoted George Washington as saying, "When They Do Not Teach The Children The Bible In School. There Will Be Rampant Crime In The Hallways." Gore sang a few additional cowboy songs and told country western stories before closing the program by asking the audience to sing with him "Amazing Grace."
Rick Benson thanked everyone for coming and taking part in this great event followed by the audience singing "How Great Thou Art" led by Jeff Gore accompanied by Jean Prescott, Jennie Benson, Katie Benson and Elizabeth Baiebe each with their musical instruments.

"I was looking for an alternative to wearing my chuck taylor lowtops that wore out too quickly in the city... something very sleek and simple but still fun. These were perfect. Vans makes great shoes and the little pop of teal is a lot of fun. They do run a bit narrow but they have some give once you wear them."

The shoes I have been looooking for!
"I have been looking for shoes that are black but still very cute! I have purple and black vans but there is just to much shoe. These black ones are just thin enough and perfect! They look cute with regular jeans or fancy jeans!!!! Sooo happy. They are very narrow, but they are everything else I wanted!"

Three weeks after Sterling Ranch was approved for the second time by the Douglas County commissioners, the planned development south of Chatfield Estates has announced Richmond American Homes of Colorado as its lead builder to be.
The group, a subsidiary of MDC Holdings, is expected to begin building the first homes toward the end of 2013, but legal challenges preventing the development may still come in to play before work commences.
Sterling Ranch, which was previously approved in 2011, already went to court once over the question of having sufficient water, and the neighboring Chatfield Community Association has said it may sue Sterling Ranch a second time on a variety of other issues, which they brought up in court before but were not addressed.
"In the appeal put forth before, there were many different elements of arguments," said Dennis Larratt, Chatfield Community Association vice president during the July 10 commissioners' hearing. "The district court chose to determine on only one item. All of those other elements are still live and can be brought back. Be prepared."
Harold Smethills, Sterling Ranch managing director, said he fully expects another legal challenge from the Chatfield group – many of whom have said the development would destroy their rural way of life – but added that is up to his attorneys to handle, and he and his partners are ready to move forward with the project.
The community, once built out, is expected to have 12,000 homes and about 31,000 people on 3,400 acres in the valley. Plans call for 30 miles of trails, multiple parks and wildlife corridors, a multi-field athletic complex, a hospital, fire services, schools, and a town center patterned after Littleton's historic downtown.
"We are excited to have Richmond American as our lead builder," Smethills said in a July 31 news release. "Our senior leaders ... have known Richmond American's management team for many years, and we look forward to a strong relationship for years to come as they help us realize the vision we have for Sterling Ranch."
That vision includes having 37 percent of the development being preserved as open space as well as participating in innovative water conservation practices, including rainwater harvesting.
Richmond American, which – according to the news release – has a track record of building environmentally-friendly homes with an eye on conserving water and energy, will take the lead on the design and construction of single-family homes. The company has built more than 40,000 homes in Colorado over the past four decades.

Comedian Shows Funny Movie
Yesterday afternoon we took a trip to the new Black Cinema House space on 72nd and Kimbark to see the 1969 film, Putney Swope. The screening featured an introduction by comedian, Wyatt Cenac, who was wearing a knit sweater like you wouldn't believe. Cenac's choice for the screening felt uncanny in the gorgeous new home of the Johnson Publishing House archives, including a very 1970's light up table from their offices.
After the film was over a robust discussion started on the reception of the film when it was originally released, Robert Downey's dubbing of Arnold Johnson's voice, blacksploitation films, hip hop history, education and possible proscriptions for current day cultural production.
Cenac was an excellent moderator, letting others direct the conversation. Amongst other insightful contributions, Pemon Rami, Chicago's first black casting director and the current Director of Educational & Public Programming at the DuSable Museum, discussed his impressions of the film having seen it in '69 and again Sunday at the Black Cinema House (he mentioned he was fazed by the "buffoonery" on his recent viewing).
Black Cinema House is hosting more great programming at their beautiful brand spanking new space throughout the rest of the year, including hosting experimental filmmaker Akosua Adoma Owusu on November 14th. Check out their calendar of events here.
