13th Infantry Regiment THE WAR.
SPEECH OF DR. VINTON. LETTER FROM BISHOP LOUGHLIN. The second stand was presided over by Mr. Chittenden, and addresses were made
by Mr. Chittenden, Mr. Gilbert, ex-Governor Stanton, Gen. Swift, Mr. Miller,
Mr. Cady, and W. A. Gale. DEPARTURE OF THE 13TH REGT. THE IRISH BRIGADE OF BROOKLYN. LIGHT INFANTRY VOLUNTEERS. A WORTHY MOVEMENT. THANKS. THE SEVENTH REGIMENT.—The Seventh Regiment arrived at Annapolis on yesterday
morning. They were met by a remonstrance from Gov. Hicks against landing. They,
with the Massachusetts regiment, landed, and are now upon the government grounds
awaiting orders from Washington. OLD MEN FOR COUNCIL—YOUNG MEN FOR ACTION.—A meeting of the citizens
of East Brooklyn, who by reason of their advanced age are exempt from military
service, and who are in favor of protecting the Stars and Stripes, will be
held at the School Room in Skillman street near Park avenue, on Friday evening,
26th inst., at 8 o'clock. Benj. S. Van Tuyl, John Mason, Henry Martin, Robt.
M. Webb,. J. E. Donelson, Geo. Sibell, Fred. Glover, John Van Buren, RECRUITING FOR THE THIRTEENTH.—Col. Schoeffel and his party, have enlisted over forty men for the 13th Regiment within the past three weeks, independently of those enlisted by Capt's Abbott and Downey, for new companies. Adjutant Hedges has been able to do but little since he came home, on account of his health, which is quite feeble. RE-ENLISTING.—The Colonel of The Thirteenth regiment has received authority to recruit his regiment, and will commence at once at Rochester. A large portion of the men have signified their intention to go into the service again, and it is expected the regiment will be in the field at an early day. MORE NEW YORK TROOPS EN ROUTE. CAPTAIN ABBOTT'S COMPANY—EDITOR U. & A.— Recruiting is progressing rapidly with Captain Abbott's company o f the 13th Regiment. He has already about sixty men, and others are coming in daily. Although there has been some reduction in bounties, one hundred and sixty-four dollars are still offered--fourteen in advance. Four dollars are paid to every man who brings in a recruit. If the Military Committee and others interested in recruiting would only make an effort this excellent company might be filled in a few days. PROBABLY A PRISONER—Intelligence from Wm. Churchill of Co. A, 13th Regiment, has been received, which indicates that his brother, Chas. H. Churchill of Co. I, 40th Regiment, is a prisoner in the hands of the rebels. He was last seen on Tuesday, the 1st inst., during the battle which occurred on that day. These two young men are sons of Mr. .... Chruchill of this city. THE SNYDERS IN THE THIRTEENTH.—We published yesterday morning a partial list of names of men belonging to the 13th Regiment, who are sick in the West Philadelphia Hospital, and among them appeared the name of A. R. Snyder, of Company F. It is therefore certain that he cannot be the Snyder referred to in the special dispatch received by us on Tuesday as being left on the battle field. It was probably Private Schneider, of Capt. Geck's company, that was left.
AUGUST 16, 1862. THE 13TH REGIMENT. THE SYRACUSE REGIMENT (COL. WALRATH) and the Rochester Regiment (Col. Quinby), left Elmira, on Wednesday, for Washington, via Harrisburgh and Baltimore. The men carried two days' rations in Their haversacks - - their canteens full of coffee. COL. QUINBY, of the 13th , is evidently a fighting man. He led his Regiment "in his shirt sleeves." BROOKLYN ITEMS. BOSTON, July 29. DEATH OF A MEMBER OF THE OLD 13TH REGIMENT.—Mr. Thomas Clancy, a former member of Co. I of the old 13th Regiment, died yesterday morning of consumption, at his mother's residence, in this city. He left here with the regiment in April, 1861, and has been in every battle in which it was engaged, and was twice wounded. He ... regimental hospital for several weeks, ... discharge of the regiment , and since his ... was most of the time confined to his house. ...funeral will take place this afternoon at 2o'clock ... the house of his mother, on Mechanics' Alley.—Old members of the13th are requested to meet at the house at 1 o'clock, and attend the funeral of their deceased follow soldier. SAD CASUALTIES.—Among the casualties reported at Gettysburg last week
we notice as killed the name of Cyrus O. Wickes, of Brockport, a young man
well spoken of by his acquaintances here. Mr. W. served a year in the 13th
Regiment and received an honorable discharge for disability, but having regained
his health he again entered the service in the 108th regiment. There are some
reasons which lead the father and friends of Mr. W. to think the above report
probably incorrect. We hope it may so prove to be. THE PARADE OF THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT. OUR ANNAPOLIS CORRESPONDENCE. Fitz John Porter and the Thirteenth Regiment. Allotments from Companies A and I, 13th Regiment.
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT. Yesterday morning the officers of the 13th Regiment
held a meeting in the Arcade, at which arrangements were made to perfect the
rolls of the Regiment, which will require several days to do. The Regiment
will probably be mustered out and paid off early next week. THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 16,1863. The 13th Regiment in Washington homeward Bound! DAILY UNION & ADVERTISER. The Thirteenth Regiment Homeward Bound—Its Reception. Newman's and Perkins' Brass Bands. LOCAL AFFAIRS. OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS OF THE 13TH NEW YORK.—So fleet is time, that to
me it seems scarcely more than a short month ago, that with manly step and
patriotic hearts you came forward under the auspices of your city, undisciplined
and inexperienced soldiers, to answer the call of your country in the hour
of its sudden peril. But when I behold your diminished ranks and the absence
of so many honored comrades—when I remember the electric thrills of pride
as the lightning has sped the announcement of your valor upon the awful battlefield,
which has made your renown as wide as the continent and as enduring as time,
I know that to have accomplished all this, to you, the time has been long indeed.
Veterans! heroes! Having fulfilled with distinguished credit, your obligations
thus far, to your country, and having been honorably discharged by the authorities
of your government and sent onward to your homes, we have met you at the portals
of your city to greet you and bid you welcome. On the bloody fields of Blackburn, Yorktown, Hanover, Gaines' Mills, Richmond,
Malvern, South Mountain and Fredericksburg, you nobly did your duty; bright
pages for you will be those in our country's history which record those memorable
contests. A DISAPPOINTED CROWD.—Saturday morning, a crowd numbering-about one thousand persons, gathered at the Central Depots expecting the arrival of the 13th Regiment.—The knowing ones kept away from the Depot, while those who were not posted flocked there in great numbers. Upon the arrival of the train from Canandaigua the crowd was so great that the Police had to make the most strenuous efforts to keep the track clear. The crowd were repeatedly told that the 13th was not to arrive on the train; but they would not believe it. Upon its arrival, and it was ascertained beyond a doubt that the 13th was not aboard, they turned away and dispersed, with a disappointed look. DAILY UNION & ADVERTISER. This dispatch indicates that the 13th will not reach Rochester to-day. The
Regiment may be looked for to-morrow. The Committee have perfected arrangements
for the reception. EXPRESS: ROCHESTER ARRIVED IN BUFFAL-The Old 13th Regiment N. Y. V., Major Williams, arrived in this city, from Rochester, yesterday afternoon. They carried muskets, and numbered about 125 men. Upon reaching the office of Provost Marshal Scroggs, they were brought to a halt, and afterwards took up their line of march for Fort Porter, where they remain as provost Guard during the draft. They looked well, and Rochester should be proud of them. THE BROCKPORT COMPANY IN THE THIRTEENTH.-- LOCAL MATTERS. THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT. —The misunderstanding which existed at Albany in reference to three companies of the 13th Regiment has been removed by Adjutant Hedges, who went there on Sunday night, and all the men will be at once mustered out of service and paid off. Capt. Corning is preparing to commence the work of mustering to-day, and Major Sherman pay master, arrived last night, to pay off the men at once. In a day or two the returned volunteers of the 13th will have their money, and cease to be soldiers of the Federal Army. FOR THE SERVICE AGAIN.—Capt. Jerry A. Sullivan, Senior Captain in the old 13th, again offers his services to the country, and proposes to recruit a company for the 14th Heavy Artillery, under Col. Marshall. The abilities of Capt. Sullivan as a commanding officer, his popularity with his men, and his personal bravery, are too well known to need any comment at our hands. Nearly all of his old company will join him, and other members of the regiment have enlisted in his company. He flings out his banner for company A, and no doubt will have the requisite number at an early date. THE EVENING EXPRESS. THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT.—Pursuant to notice the 13th Regiment met at the Exchange street Armory yesterday morning for the purpose of being mustered out of the service. Capt. Corning, mustering officer, announced that he had received orders not to muster out any company which had been enlisted subsequent to the organization of the regiment. This order embraced the Dansville company and the companies recruited by the late Col. Gilbert and by Capt. Benjamin. It was shown, however, that the authorizations granted for the enlistment of these companies, respectively, contemplated only a term of service which should expire with that of the regiment. Capt. Corning, therefore, has gone to Albany for further instructions. He was accompanied by the Regimental Adjutant and Capt. Benjamin, who are familiar with all the facts which it is necessary to lay before the Adjutant General. The regiment is ordered to meet at the same place this A. M. DAILY UNION & ADVERTISER. RETURN OF THE GALLANT 13TH REGIMENT.— HEADQUARTERS 13TH REGIMENT N. Y. V., THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT TO BE "FILLED UP" AGAIN.—We learn from one of the officers of the 13th Regiment that Col. E. G. Marshall has received authority from the War Department to recruit a new regiment, the nucleus of which shall consist of the two companies enlisted by Captains Abbott and Downey, last summer, for the term of three years. Col. Marshall is still engaged upon a court martial, but it is believed that he will enter upon his new work as soon as practicable. It is not probable, from what we learn, that either Lt. Col. Schoeffel or Major Hyland will engage in this enterprise, but doubtless, there are many others connected with the old regiment, who will cheerfully re-enter the service under their old commander. TROOPS FROM ROCHESTER.—A detachment of the old 13th Regiment, numbering over one hundred men, arrived in this city yesterday afternoon from Rochester, under the command of Major Williams. They were fine, stalwart looking men, nearly all of whom have seen hard service in the field. After halting in front of the Provost Marshal's office a short time, they look up their line of march for Fort Porter, where they will remain until after the completion of the draft. ORDER FOR THE 13TH REGIMENT.—Lieut. Col. Schoeffell has issued an order for the officers and men of the 13th Regiment to report at the Armory of the 54th Regiment in this city on Monday the 11th inst., at 10 a. m., for muster out of service. All absentees will be reported as deserters. The order will be found in the advertising columns, and should be attended to by all the men of the 13th. ARRIVED IN BUFFALO.—The Old 13th Regiment N. Y. V Major Williams, arrived
in this city, from Rochester yesterday afternoon. They carried muskets, and
numbered about 125 men. Upon reaching the office of Provost Martial Scroggs,
they were brought to a halt, and afterward took up their line of march for
Fort Porter, where they remain as Provost Guard during the draft. They looked
well, and Rochester should be proud of them. [Buffalo Cour.] REORGANIZATION OF THE 13TH REGIMENT.— 13th REGIMENT RECRUITING BULLETIN. It must be crucifying to the sufferers to be told that New Regiments must
be consolidated, and that they cannot pay the Bogus Bounties they offer, but
the unpalatable truth must be spoken, without regard to the feelings of the
would-be Majors, or possibly Colonels of May-be Regiments. ~THIRTIETH REGIMENT.—Special order No. 23, issued by Col. Searing of
the Thirtieth regiment, dated June 8th, directs as follows: From a Paroled Prisoner Belonging to the Old l3th. CASUALTIES IN THE 13TH REGIMENT. KILLED, WOUHDED AND MISSING OF 13 N. J. V. Brankermann, Co. F, 21st, right knee; Chas. Woodruff, Co. B, 26th, shoulder.
LOCAL AFFAIRS. LOCAL AFFAIRS. Casualties in the Late Battles. COL. MARSHALL.—It was announced in yesterday afternoon's report, that Col. Marshall, of the 13th, was among the killed in the recent battles. Such was not the case, however. A private dispatch received in this city last evening, certifies to Marshall's safety. Attention "Old Thirteenth."—There will be a meeting of "Old
Thirteenth" this (Monday) evening at 7 1/2 o'clock, at the Armory on Exchange
street. Every member is requested to be present. By order OLD THIRTEENTH MEETING.—At a meeting of the Old Thirteenth at their
Drill Rooms, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: ORGANIZATION OF THE OLD THIRTEENTH. THE OLD THIRTEENTH.—We published yesterday the officers elected upon
the re-organization of "The Old Thirteenth," as an independent military
company. A constitution and by-laws were adopted, upon the following basis
of organization: Adjurned Meeting of the Old 13th Volunteers—Resolutions on the Death
of Major Sullivan--Organization of an Independent Company.
[The above list will be left with the Chairman of the Committee on Constitution
and By-Laws, Capt. C. S. Benjamin, who may be found at the Evening Express
office, and it is requested that all old members residing out of the city send
in their names, or call and sign as soon as possible.] The Old Thirteenth—A Battallion to be Raised.—We understand that
the Old Thirteenth have taken in hand the matter of a Home Guard for this city,
and propose to raise a battallion, to consist of the old members of the regiment,
veteran soldiers and other military men, besides citizens who choose to volunteer.
The talk is to raise a battallion, but in our judgment a full regiment of 1100
men could as well raised as not. GEN. GRANT AND HIS CIGAR.—A private letter from Lieut. James Hutchinson, of the Veteran Reserve Corps, and formerly of the 13th New York Volunteers, furnishes a little incident wherein Gen. Grant was one of the actors. Lieut. Hutchinson is stationed in Washington, and a few days since was on duty as Officer of the Day at the War Department. An order was in force which forbade smoking in the building, and the sentries were instructed to enforce it. It so happened that among those who called to see Gen. Halleck, was Lieut. Gen. Grant, who approached the door confidently, cigar in mouth, expecting, doubtless, to pass without question; but the veteran soldier on guard knew his duty better. Bringing his piece down to a charge, he barred the General out, and informed him, respectfully, that he couldn't go in and keep his cigar! The Lieutenant General is too good a disciplinarian to dispute such a point; so he yielded, threw the obnoxious weed away and went in. After his departure an order came down from Gen. Halleck rescinding the order about smoking, so far as it affected army officers! OFFICIAL LISTS KILLED AND WOUNDED IN NEW YORK REGIMENTS.

Jack Spratt Could Eat no Fat....
Back fat?
On MSN.com today under the health section was a listing for "Back Fat".
The first thing that popped into my mind was a new Ted Nugent song.
Go ahead try it.
"Well I don't know where it comes from
But it sure do come
Don't want it comin' for me
The pizzas probably do it
Cause they're just to damn good
Much better than celery
They give me Back Fat Fever… Back Fat Fever…"
I take great pleasure in knowing that many of you will now have this song stuck in your head.
For those of you that just don't get this look up Ted Nugent on Wikipedia.
Almost everything can be found on Wikipedia.
Unfortunately they have no references to "Back Fat".
It also can't help you with Homeland Security and the
Let explain.
I spent four days in
I love
I hate flying to
I also hate flying back from
Because I hate flying coach.
On the way to
His head was in my lap for four hours.
By the time we landed I actually felt a tad German.
On the way back I had made up my mind that no way in hell was I going to let that happen again no matter who sat in front of me.
I had the window seat and my wife had the middle seat.
At first I was feeling a little light headed because no one sat in front of us. We actually had three empty seats right in front of us. Can you believe it?
I was so happy.
Then it happened.
Coming on to the plane late were Conan the Barbarian, Helga the Circus Fat Lady and their demon spawn.
Well ladies and gentleman there's a time in every man's life were he needs to stand up for himself. A time to say I'm a man and I control my own destiny. A time to say I'm a man and I'm going to prop my knees against that seat in front of me, lock my arms against it and make sure that son of a bitch is not reclining that seat.
And that's exactly what I did.
Conan sits in front of me, Damian sits in front of my wife and Helga sits on the aisle.
We take off and I'm ready.
There's no way in hell that seat is reclining.
After we're airborne Conan tries to recline.
Sorry sucker!!!!
He tries and tries. He's now throwing his back against the seat trying to make it go back. Repeatedly he thrusts himself harder and harder at the seat.
"Hold until relieved….hold until relieved."
We all know at least one child that should have been left behind and one of them was sitting in front of my wife.
My knees are sore but I've held fast. Conan is frantically trying to force the seat back.
A flight attendant that looked like a six foot tall version of Wednesday from the Addams Family was hovering over us.
Who gets on an airplane, looks at that magazine, and impulsively orders a treadmill, an upside down tomato garden or a rusty gears clock?
Wednesday Addams is now really pissed off with me and informs me that she will be watching me the rest of the flight.
Then I could have blamed my behavior on, "Back Fat Fever….Back Fat Fever…."

What it takes to "Get to Yes" for Whole Farm Planning Policy
As new policy concepts emerge, their informed evolution is often hampered by unarticulated differences in individual and group interpretations of what they embody. Such is the case with "whole farm planning (WFP)," a systems-based concept for agroenvironmental management. If WFP is to move from preliminary concept to institutionalized policy tool. problems of definition, goal-setting, and implementation strategies must be resolved. An initial step to resolving those problems, or "getting to yes," requires clear articulation of the diverse views. This report is meant to accomplish two objectives. First, it provides a "primer" on the concept of whole farm planning and the issues involved in the development of whole farm planning policy. Second, it reports new information resulting from a structured interaction among a diverse set of interest groups, which adds richness to the idea of incorporating WFP into policy and identifies areas of common interest and potential disagreement among stakeholding groups in whole farm planning policy. No particular position on whole farm planning policy is advocated in this report. Rather, it is designed to elucidate the policy issues, identify key features that stakeholding groups see as essential for policy effectiveness, and make clearer the potential opportunities and challenges confronting policy makers if they pursue WFP policy. Partial funding for the effort was provided by the Soil and Water Conservation Society and the u.S. Environmental Protection Agency. All of the report's contents and conclusions, however, are solely the responsibility of the authors and the Wallace Institute. iii

Well, assuming you're still here, thanks for bearing with the relatively light content this month as I've had to juggle a hell of a lot. We'll be going back to more "traditional" content starting tomorrow. However, I should point out that as things continue, I'm really hoping to start leaving Big Two corporate material more and more in order to branch out. Any recommendations?

General issues
Wait, what's this? A military commander who isnt' a xenophobic hardass? Someone who actually trusts non-military people to do their jobs professionally and respects their judgement! Wow, that's a nice change of pace, and would be far more likely given that just to become a general you'd have to have some skills in dealing with civilians. However, just as a subversion of the trope, it's a welcome relief from the usual chuckleheads (paging Generals Lane, Ross, and Eiling).

Alien Designs
You know what you don't see too often in comics? Aliens that are truly alien. Most alien races are identical to humans except for one or two features, or they're evil inhuman creatures and nothing in between. Looking at Prospero here, you do see something different - the shape of the helmet, the proportion of the limbs is slightly off, helping to suggest a non-human nature. And because of his language issues, his behavior is the only indicator of his character, so it's left mysterious and well...alien at times.

Covers - Doing it Right
I rarely talk about the art in comics because I'm not much of an art critic, but I'm going to make an exception for this cover. What's great here is the use of shadow here - it looks like the cover to a kids' horror/mystery book, which foreshadows the events in the book. Surprisingly, more mainstream comics aren't this clever.
Wednesday, March 03, 2010
And don't get me started on How Canadian Political Parties would do it.
Here we have American Eagle and USA Patriot Act, who are young heroes designed to appeal to the bases of the two mainstream American political parties. Again, a smart high-concept that at once illuminates the political divide while lampooning it. Of course, there's a part of me that thinks the concept doesn't go far enough and that you'd have lots of fringe party patriotic superhumans (And now that I think of it, what would a mash-up of Mr. A and Captain America be like? Whatever that would be, expect the Libertarians to like him).

1. Roll
Roll out the finished piece of cold croissant dough to a size of 12" X 18". Using a French knife cut down the center into two strips (long ways). Stack one strip on top of the other and align them.
2. Cut
Starting at one end - cut the two strips at an angle - discard the scrap. Try to minimize the scrap. Cut the triangles about 4 inches wide - they should weigh 2½ - 3 ounces. Each strip should produce six triangles.
3. Stack
Stack the triangles back onto the tray, cover tight and chill for an hour.
4. Shape
The triangles should be longer than they are wide. Stretch the triangle in your hands to lengthen it more. Set it down onto the table in front of you and have the small tip pointed towards yourself. Fold over a small amount of the far edge and begin rolling the croissant towards you. Grab the tip and stretch it as you roll to keep the croissant tight.
5. Stack
Stack the rolled croissants back onto the work tray and chill.
6. Twist
Stretch the croissant to lengthen it slightly, before twisting the tips down onto each other. Press them together firmly as you place the croissant onto the baking pan. Be sure the tip of the rolled croissant that comes around must be in the right direction and tucked under the body of the croissant.
7. Egg wash
Arrange on baking paper. Brush top and sides liberally with egg wash. Proof until they double in size. Bake @ 400°(F) until golden brown (12-15 minutes.)
Additional Comments:
Can be frozen before proofing. Cover well.

The Fond du Lac Public Library has set up Giving Trees at the downtown library and at FDLPL Express to collect donations of hats, scarves, mittens and gloves. Donated items will be given to the Fond du Lac Salvation Army before Christmas for distribution to local children. Donations accepted through December 23.
In the Greek myth Pandora's Box, Pandora was given a beautiful jar and told not to open it under any circumstance. But, curiosity got the best of her and Pandora opened it and all the evils of the world escaped and spread over the earth. An action so small, yet with severe and far-reaching consequences. In The Husbands Secret by Liane Moriarty, Cecelia Fitzpatrick's "jar" is in the form of a letter she finds in her attic, addressed "For my wife - to be opened only in the event of my death". This one small letter changes the course of many lives.
Food Network TV host Sandra Lee has written a novel set in New London, Wisconsin. The book includes recipes and is a good choice for fans of Sandra Lee or those who like to read Debbie Macomber. Lee lived in Onalaska, Wisconsin in her teens and graduated from high school there. Her grandmother Lorraine was a stabilizing influence on her life, and the grandmother in Lee's novel The Recipe Box is also called Lorraine. The main character in the story is Grace, a divorced woman with a fourteen-year-old daughter named Emma.
The 2009 animated retelling of the Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, will be shown at the Fond du Lac Public Library at 1 p.m. Sunday, December 15.
Shopping for readers this holiday season? The BookCellar at the Fond du Lac Public Library – the city's only used book store – sells used books, movies, music and magazines for all ages at deep discounts. Most hardcover books are $1, paperbacks and kids' books are 50 cents.
In December, two special sales offer even-better deals:
First in the new Nantucket Brides Trilogy, True Love by Jude Deveraux combines a little mystery, a ghost, a big family, with some reincarnation mixed in to make this a perfect choice for all you hopeless romantics out there. The Taggerts and Montgomerys from the author's Velvet series are together again in this magical tale set on the island of Nantucket.
School. Finals. Big papers due. Concerts to give. Presents to buy. Teens are under a lot of stress as the school semester and the holidays both close in on their already hectic schedules.
Time to Chillax. Teens in grades six to 12 are invited to do just that at 1 p.m. Sunday, December 8, at the Fond du Lac Public Library.
The Children's Dept. is planning two great holiday parties in December:
Forget the stockings: The Fond du Lac Public Library's new backpack-style book bags will hold a lot more of Santa's loot, and they're just $2. The backpacks are sold at the Main Library downtown and at FDLPL Express, near Festival Foods. The library's popular red totes also are available for sale at both locations for $2.

Hi everybody,
My situation is this: I got a pagewrap with in it three div's. A left div, a main div and a right div. The left one is about 200px widt and must be on the left :geek: the right one must be on the right :geek: and as you expected the main div must become in the middle of them. My question is: how can you center that main div? Because it will float left automatically. Here is a sample code to show what I want.
P.S. To be one step before some critics: I don't use inline style-elements normally, but just for now to test and post this example I used them ;)
how about this for an answer, got it from 'CSS Cookbook'
CSS to get the effect is:
#left {
float: left;
#maincontent {
float: right; /*floated to the right of the left column (but will still position to the left of the rightmost column /*
#right {
float: right;
So basically this method works by enclosing the left and maincontent divs in an additional div which is then floated to the left.
hope that helps.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Thanks for the fast response, but here on mac and safari / firefox this is the result:
the centered div pushes the right div down…
Somebody else have an idea?
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
I didn't test it further yet (very busy these days) but by reading the code, another question came:
What if I only have the width of the left en the right and want the maincontent div variable, only a min-width of 500px. Will this work then too?
P.S. I am gone this weekend, speak you all next week again :)
Edit: I now tested it and it worked. But it's still not a solution, cause when I want to have the whole thing 100% width and only have the width of the left and right div's this won't work. You cant' make a flexible thing of this…
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
You missed a </div> in the code you sended ;)
I've played a little with the css and I think this is more what I want it to be:
#left {
float: left;
#maincontent {
float: right; /*floated to the right of the left column (but will still position to the left of the rightmost column /*
#right {
float: right;
But it's still not perfect, It won't work if you give the div's minimum-widths…
I was thinking… Isn't this something like the sticky-footer? You know the header, you know the footer, but you don't know the content…
I tried something like this:
div#enclose {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 -25em 0 0;
float: left;
But it didn't work allready ;)
Another point with this, is I think that we must think about not using to many empty divs…
Considering you'd only know the width of the sidebars, you could float the divs (left and right) above the main content-div. This, of course, wouldn't be good for SEO nor accessibilty as you'd have to heap through the sidebars before the content.
Right after the body-start:
This is above the #page-wrap
This is below the #page-wrap
…then the CSS:
In this example you only give the #main margins, and the sidebars gets fixed widths. If you'd use this I'd recommend using overflow: hidden; on the sidebars, to not interrupt with the main content area.
Ok then,
As i understand it, you are creating this 3 column display.
the left and right column are fixed and the maincontent div is variable.
If that is correct then why not simply use the max / min-width selectors in the maincontent div.
This should also work if you want to set the widths to either em, px etc.
see here for further explanation: http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/max-width
I am not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but your story sounds alot like the "holy grail" to me.
So you may find this interesting, and maybe it helps:
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
So you may find this interesting, and maybe it helps:
I am going to study that article and let you know if it solved the problem. Thanks in forward!
The reason why your centre column is not centering is due to the fact that there are 2 major errors in your code that you need to fix first.
1. You have a div with ID of 'page-wrap' that contains floated elements.
You have given all your 'columns' a fixed width but not the containing div. One of the CSS rules states that when a element contains floated, in needs to have a fixed width (or em based). What is happening is your right 'column' is floated right but has no boundaries as to what point it will float. The wider your browser is made the further that 'column' floats.
So therefore, add a 800px width to div 'page-wrap' and give it the boundary it needs. (200px + 400px + 200px = 800px)
That will now but all three 'column' right against each other. That takes care of one problem.
2. The next problem in your code is pertaining to the above mentioned containing 'page-wrap' div.
As it contains floated elements, you not only need to give it a fixed with like we have done, but, you also need to take care of it´s position in the 'flow' of the document. Your three 'columns' are floated and are taken out of the 'flow' of the document. The problem is this: 'page-wrap' has no float but contains floated elements and therefore does not 'wrap' the floated elements it contains. In order to do this, add 'position: relative' to page-wrap' or float it too. One or the other would do but I would use the first mentioned property. The reason why i would use 'position: relative' is that if you wanted to place a 'footer' div below that needs to 'clear' all your 'columns', it would clear the containing 'page-wrap' div too, witch is not what you want.
Hope that helped you and did not put you to sleep.

A couple of years ago this just wouldn't have seemed possible. But here it is: Epson has introduced the PowerLite Home Cinema 1080p, which as the name suggests is a 1080p front projector. And the price is $2,999. You read that right. $2,999.
HD DVD might be taking another leap ahead on the interactivity front. The most recent firmware update for Toshiba's first-gen HD DVD players adds "support for certain anticipated network delivered content in future HD DVD discs." Those of you who can get your HD-A1 or HD -XA1 player to an Ethernet connection can download the update from the 'Net, or you can contact Toshiba to get the update on a disc.
Sony issued a press release last week announcing that the latest James Bond film, Casino Royale, has hit another milestone, surpassing 100,000 units shipped to retailers. This follows that same title's debut in the top ten in DVD sales at Amazon, and both feats are firsts for either HD format. In addition, according to Sony this early success also puts BD ahead of where DVD was at its inception.
Microsoft is going up-market with its Xbox 360 gaming console, unveiling the Xbox 360 Elite. At $479 the Elite is clad in black, which undoubtedly looks trick, adds an HDMI interface, and sticks a thumb in Sony's eye with a 120GB removable hard drive. The $299 Xbox 360 basic (like the $499 Sony PS3) features a 20GB hard drive. There is no integrated HD DVD drive, which means that having an Xbox 360 Elite and HD DVD playback is now $679, just about 80 bucks more than the $599 Sony PS3, which is a full-on Blu-ray Disc player. And even more curiously, Microsoft isn't including integrated Wi-Fi, which is a huge plus for the $599 (60GB hard drive) version of the PS3.
Starting April 1st that shiny HD DVD player might look a little shinier still. $100 to $200 shinier, to be exact. On that date Toshiba is dropping the price of its entry level HD-A2 HD DVD player to just $399 and cutting the upscale HD-XA2 from $999 to $799. The 1080p-capable HD-A20, which is to be released this Summer, gets an in vitro price drop too, going from $599 to $499. On top of that, if you buy any of these players by July 31st you can still send in a form to receive five free HD DVD movies, according to TWICE.
Reviewing Sharp's '62 and '92 series AQUOS sets has been an amazing experience- and I'm not even talking about image quality yet. As soon as web entries came up here and at our sister site for Home Theater magazine, declaring these reviews on the way, the emails started. The response to this news was a startling statement on the power of the flat panel. I've never received so much email about any pair of reviews, let alone two that weren't even written yet!
If you follow up a great sci-fi movie with two increasingly inferior sequels, how do you keep selling all three titles? You bundle all of them together so no one can skip out on the sequels, of course! OK, I know I'm being cynical. I love The Matrix and am as excited as the next to snatch this title up on HD DVD when it hits stores on May 22nd. And I'll even go so far as to say that I thought its sequel, Matrix Reloaded had some cool fight sequences and stunts. But I wouldn't watch the incomprhensible Matrix Revolutions again on a bet. Even George Lucas thinks it's whack that I have to buy all three movies to own the first.
If you're a next-gen format with only three supporting studios total, and only one studio that's exclusive to your format, you could do worse than having that one exclusive studio be Universal. Following up on its promise to release over 100 HD DVD titles in 2007 Universal is releasing 13 catalog titles on the Toshiba-backed format this June. Count 'em- 13!
Going back to those heady days of wine, roses and Laserdiscs, the general public, if aware at all of LD's existence, would yawn and claim to be interested when a recordable LD is introduced. Of course that never happened and LD is currently residing in the "where are they now" of consumer electronica.
Earlier this week High-Def Digest reported that the Blu-ray release of the newest James Bond flick, Casino Royale, cracked the top ten DVD sales list at Amazon in its first day of release on Tuesday. Cracking the Amazon Top Ten is a first for either HD format, and surely a good sign of growing consumer acceptance of the next-gen formats.

Mark and I were in Vancouver for 2 days. The first day, we took a walk at Stanley Park with Yindee and roam around in the city in the morning, then we head to Capalino Suspension Bridge in the evening. Sunset was around 9:00 pm., so we had plenty of time to do things in one day. The next day, we went to check out the Peak of Vancouver on Grouse Mountain. I was a bit disappointed for this one.
Vancouver seems to be the most rapidly developing city to me. The city is beautiful and full of modern high rise buildings. It is the cleanness city I've been so far. People look healthy and seem to enjoy outdoor sport. The food is sophisticated and diverse. Groceries and bakeries are everywhere. All in all, I'm impressed with Vancouver and would come back sometimes.
We continued our trip by riding on the ferry from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay, then drove to Victoria. We spent four hrs. walking and exploring around town today. I found four Thai restaurants here, but I didn't feel like having Thai food for this trip. For me, Victoria doesn't seem as interesting as I though, but still good enough to visit. I'm ready to go back to the U.S. tomorrow morning and heading to Oregon for a few days before go back to San Francisco.

When it comes to flooring of your offspring's room, many go for the option of no carpeting at all, leaving out all the fun and design details of a cure 6×9 area rug you can find either at your local furniture shop or choose from a variety of online options on e-shops.
Too fun – use your imagination and get playful
All the toys and castles do need a scenery, and what is the best way help your little munchkin use the best of its imagination? The special detail of a 6×9 area rug that will reanact any battle, soccer field, city roadmap or wild racing field in a matter of seconds. The variety of patterns and designs range from forests, continents, sea life all the way to the skies so that the little pilot can fly his wooden airplane over the clouds. If your son would love to be a pirate, why not surprise him with a pirate ship themed 6×9 area rug and let him give his bad toys a plank walk!
Classroom time in the playroom on the rug
Even though you've installed a nice chalk board and a small table for drawing and writing, why also not add a nice colourful alphabet 6×9 area rug that will easily fit in and let you practice with your child while sitting on the floor cosily over a nice hot chocolate? Also, if you find a cute rug with some animals or objects drawn on it, the guessing games are about to start – guess the animal, make a cow noise, find the ears and the nose, etc. By choosing a fluffly soft area rug, it might just become the most comfortable classroom your child will very much enjoy.
Area rug – the added colour/pattern element
If you are still choosing the colours for the kids' room, or have already found your best pastels, you must have noticed a pattern – you didn't go for the eye-pinching red or the dark purple, did you, not even for one wall? It's because we even instictively go for the soothing but bright colours, often being beige, pale blue or pale yellow when decorating our baby's room, so the room stays bright and sunny, but most of the fun is then taken out. Where you do let your imagination flow, and creativity side go wild if not with the little details that will also add for you the grown-up element such as patterned pillows on the rocking chair, books on the shelf or with a lively and storytelling 6×9 area rugs that will make the room come alive. A splash of colours will give the room a groove and a theme of your choice.
Don't miss out on the opportunity of creating a super comfy and fun atmosphere in your child's room by introducing a themed or patterned area rug that both you and your children will love and continue to use for both decor and play time for the years to come.

Lakes & Coorong Cockling, David Cooney (no group)
Lakes & Coorong Cocklers working in the Southern Ocean
Fishery Information
The original 3,000 aboriginal residents of the Coorong region traditionally fished the rich marine, estuarine and freshwater resources of this highly productive ecosystem. Commercial fishing by white settlers is documented from as early as 1846, and soon developed into a significant supplier of fish to the Adelaide Markets. A limited entry fishery with currently 37 licensed family businesses continues the conservative resource management tradition which has seen the fishery prosper through 151 years.
The diversity of species mirrors the diversity of habitat available to the fishery including the freshwater lakes Alexandrina and Albert, the estuarine/marine/hyper saline Coorong, and coastal waters extending out to three nautical miles from Goolwa Beach.
The dominant commercial species of the fishery currently are yellow-eye mullet, mulloway, cockles, callop (golden perch), carp and to a lesser extent flounder and bony bream.
Fishing methods utilise low mechanisation coupled with highly energy efficient netting and manual harvest types. This results in low by-catch, highly specific methods when undertaken by the well-trained operators. Significant effort reduction has taken place over the past 20 years to make up for gear developments. The fishery directly employs 73 people and indirectly up to 50 more. It produced a GVP in 2002/03 of over $5.0m, which contributes greatly to the regional economy.

It's Kingston 01/24/2014
This review is from: Hyperx Blu Khx1600C9D3B1K2/8Gx Ddr3-1600 8Gb(2X4Gb) Cl9 Memory Kit
Got it at a great price with a coupon to boot.
Had to juggle the bios a bit.
Other Thoughts:
Mixed it with some smaller and older Kingston RAM. Had to look up how to use MemOK button but once I got it to post and settings stable for both sets I haven't had any problems.

For Ottawa Senator fans, this has been a spring (and now almost summer) that hasn't resonated much, the home team never even made it to the first round of this Stanley Cup tournament, a woeful season confirming that there is much work to be done to return to the top echelon of the NHL standings.
Adding on to the concerns of their place in this years pecking order, word came out this week that Daniel Alfredsson, the teams captain and its heart and soul, is set for back surgery and while it's considered a relatively normal procedure, the concern for his health is on the minds of Sens fans.
The only consolation for a season of woe it seems was to be the annual amateur draft, where perhaps the Senators might unearth the hidden gem of a star of the future, though as history has shown, the draft in most years is but a roll of the dice at the gaming tables.
However, there is some hope it seems on the horizon after all, the players that are just bubbling under the radar of the NHL have shown that the future may not be as bleak as the last season suggested.
The Binghamton Senators, the farm club of the Kanata based head office battled back in their Calder Cup championship final to defeat the Houston Aeros 4 games to 2, laying claim to bragging rights in the AHL and serving notice to the Senators management that there may be some talent ready for their next step in their hockey careers.
Of particular interest to fans at the home office will be the success of the Baby Sens rookie goaltender Robin Lehner, who had a remarkable Calder Cup run. As Sens fans through the decades since the return to the NHL can attest to, goal tending has always been an Achilles heel for the team, perhaps that destiny may soon be about to change.
The AHL championship is as gruelling a tournament as the Stanley Cup is, in fact for many a player a spot on a Calder Cup champion could be the heads up required to gain some interest from the 30 NHL teams looking for the character of a champion.
The reviews of the Baby Sens success has provided for something for Senators fans to study, a collection of signs that perhaps augur for a future that they hope is brighter than the season just past.
Ottawa Citizen-- Despite impressive play Lehner expected to play most of next year in Binghamton
Ottawa Citizen-- Binghamton's AHL success delays Sens' coaching search
Ottawa Citizen-- Binghamton's Senators win AHL championship
Ottawa Sun-- Baby Sens' success credit to Murrays
Ottawa Sun-- Bingo! Baby Sens win Calder Cup
Ottawa Sun-- Greening, Baby Sens look to rekindle offence

Anyone have hands on experience with this pack?
Please report!
May 5, 2014 at 7:25 pm #2099569Its only been available for ~2 weeks… a dozen or so hikers on the PCT are using it after buying them at the Kickoff.
May 6, 2014 at 4:39 am #2099637Have you heard back from anyone over there how they like it?
and yes. thank you for your hands on experience with the pack!
May 6, 2014 at 10:15 am #2099724I agree.
For a pack that I think will be a game changer in the industry, there is nothing out on it yet.
There was a small scale sale of them sold a few months ago so there are some that have been out there for more than just 2 weeks.I was expecting fireworks by now, from people wanting to get the word out on how much they like them.
I guess as John said, they are all hiking.
But come on, there has got to be someone that has loaded this baby up and cranked out a weekend trip on it and has something to say about it.
May 6, 2014 at 10:41 am #2099740I may have to just buy and it and review it for the sake of BPL!
May 6, 2014 at 10:48 am #2099747i was backpacking with a guy last weekend that had one. all i can tell you is what he said. he said he was carrying abou 30lbs. i asked him after saturdays hike(15-17 miles) how he felt and how the pack carried the weight. he said, he felt great and was very happy how the pack carried the weight.
May 6, 2014 at 10:52 am #2099752i just read on the SMD website that these are NOT made in the USA… I think that might highly sway my decision…
not that its a big deal. but it matters to me… shouldn't it?
May 6, 2014 at 10:53 am #2099755I am desperately hard-to-fit with packs [5'6" with a 15" torso(!), broad shoulders and medium hips] — dying to hear more before I order one…hoping the wide range of adjustments will allow it it FIT me.
Still hesitating before I pull the trigger, 'cuz it's a big chunk 'o change to buy a pack…worried that the capacity of the main compartment might be small-ish once I put a BearVault BV500 in there, so I'd LOVE to hear more about that, and the fit/comfort (esp. the hip belt).
May 6, 2014 at 10:55 am #2099757your all legs aren't you valerie?! :)
and yes for me its a big chunk of change as well.
I know the review of the ULA circuit are good and am debating between the two!
May 6, 2014 at 11:08 am #2099765Nathan W — that's EXACTLY where I'm at: SMD Fusion 65 vs ULA Circuit!!!! Gotta decide in the next few weeks, sigh.
Hoping someone who has received an SMD 65 will see this, and be willing to talk about their initial impressions, esp. size-wise and carrying comfort with weight. BTW, I heard from another BPL member who owns the Fusion 50, and he said he felt like the main compartment was on the smaller side (but I'd like to hear from more than one person, and would like to hear about the 65 specifically).
May 6, 2014 at 11:24 am #2099778You have to give Ron Moak respect for honesty and saying publically what many/most will not. I think it's safe to assume one could insert "affordable" or "competitive" between for and US.
Only you can decide if domestic production is something worth paying for, but it's certainly a reasonable thing to consider.
May 6, 2014 at 11:33 am #2099783the main compartment from my understanding isn't 65liters, its 3100 cu. inches. with the addition of the volume of the pockets it equals 65
same thing with the circuit albeit the circuit has an even smaller main compartment at 2400 cu in.
i think i might pull the trigger on the Fusion and give it a try. I'm pretty pick on features but have not had a pack that doesn't fit me yet.
May 6, 2014 at 3:06 pm #2099865I have a Fusion 50 and have had it out on a few day hikes but don't feel that I'm at a place to really give it even an initial review yet. I have a week long trip coming up later this month where I will be hauling a lot of water. I'll probably post some opinions on the pack after that trip.
And Valerie, where in AZ are you? If we can work it out, you are more than welcome to try out the Fusion 50 to check torso sizing.
May 6, 2014 at 5:04 pm #2099920Bought one at The Mountain Shop in Portland about 10 days ago and tried it out this last weekend in the Columbia Gorge, so not much experience with it yet, but here is my initial reaction. Regular size shoulder yoke, and medium hipbelt. The shoulder yoke is infinitely adjustable as it attaches to the yoke with velcro. I'm 6'2"+ and I had to extend it above the large about an inch. Not sure how much more adjustment there would be. SMD only has small and regular sized shoulder yokes. The hip belt is substantial and has good adjustment with an upper and lower adjuster on each side. I liked how this worked and was surprised what a difference a small adjustment made. The back main pocket expands to hold a lot and is secure. The side pockets expand well. One complaint is that the tops of the side pockets are easily expandable too with no way to secure larger items. Seems like some items may work there way out. Didn't have any problem but concerned me. The shoulder harness pockets are high up, very small, and I found them to be hard to access, so didn't (and doubt will ever) use them. Lots of rain over the weekend and seemed to be pretty water resistant, but not water proof. Took extra stuff/water to 25-30 lbs as I wanted to test it. Very comfortable, stable (compression straps work very well), and easy to pack, and easily handled all of my gear with enough room for extra water if needed. Last week I put in my daughters Bearikade Weekender. Fits vertically, but not quite horizontally. They are 9" round and 10.5" high.
Overall Seems like a very nice pack
May 6, 2014 at 5:17 pm #2099927Bless you, Mark!!!!!
Thank you — This is exactly the type of stuff I wanted to know. One more question, if I may have your indulgence:
When the Bearikade Weekender was in the main compartment (vertically), how much room was left in that compartment for sleeping bag, clothes, misc. stuff? Would there still be adequate room for that stuff if it was a Bearikade Expedition instead of the Weekender?
May 6, 2014 at 5:55 pm #209994514.5" versus 10.5" respectively.
May 6, 2014 at 9:30 pm #2100018You aren't going to get any bulky gear to fit next to the vertical bearikade. My sleeping bag, full food bag, or tarp wouldn't fit. But there is room to stuff smaller gear. Probably about 24-26" usable height in pack, maybe a little more so the expedition would fill a lot of this pack, as it would a lot of other packs.
May 6, 2014 at 9:48 pm #2100022Val, I didn't spend much time with the bearikade, just put it in to see horizontal vs vertical fit. All the bulky items I mentioned would fit with a little adjustment. I'll get the bearikade in the next couple of days and pack some stuff around it and let you know.
May 7, 2014 at 2:13 am #2100060Read " far too complex for US production" as being "far too expensive and hard on our profit margin for US production." Plenty of great packs made in America, just at higher prices then the market SMD is aiming for. I found the comment unfortunate and offensive.
May 7, 2014 at 3:27 am #2100065edited
May 7, 2014 at 4:10 am #2100067I totally agree with Edward J.'s comment. But even with the outsourced(underpaid) labor SMD's packs aren't much cheaper than excellent U.S. made packs like Zpacks, Elemental Horizons, and MLD (is ULA still made in Utah?). I will always try to buy from those companies first.
May 7, 2014 at 4:50 am #2100075"worth paying for"
the domestic production pieces are priced the same as the fusion pack, yet the fusion pack is not made in the US. With the cost savings of moving an item overseas (assuming there is a cost savings) i would like to see it reflected in the price. no?
SMD Fusion at 230
ULA Circuit at 225
MLD Exodus at 205
GG Mariposa at 235can you guess by price which ones are made overseas and in the US? Again, I am assuming it would be cheaper to outsource the pack… but you know what assuming gets!
May 7, 2014 at 6:36 am #2100099Are Gossamer Gear's packs still made in Texas? Also, there must be a significant difference in the production process between say, the Exodus and the new SMD packs. If made in the U.S. by a cottage manufacturer, the price would likely be much higher than it is.
May 7, 2014 at 6:46 am #2100104Yea thats what we can only assume.
with all that said. I'm still interested in the pack and would like to hear anyone's feedback. Thinking of just buying the pack and trying out around the house before making a final decision. I figure if i don't like it the return shipping would be like a "rental" fee. Worth a shot
May 7, 2014 at 7:00 am #2100107Gossamer Gear sewn in Mexico.
Exodus-Fusion comparison, framed vs. framless, unfair to compare.

As shown on the chart posted below, according to RSI more bullish momentum is suggested as long as 1760 holds, a clear break below 1760 would lead for consolidation But any pullback is supposed to be contained by 1743/1727 levels , losing 1727 would mean that the bullish momentum in short term is gone !!!
Keep in mind , that stability above 1776 will keep the intaday trend very bullish !!
In the bigger picture, according to weekly RSI , price action is testing 1787/1802 levels, topping around these levels is suggested , a daily closing below 1711 would confirm short term top around 1800 levels , but in return a weekly closing above 1802 would increase the risk toward 1900 levels as weekly RSI suggested !!!
