Fabric Options
Each of our fabric options above is hand selected by our Creative Director for its design as much as its duribility. The style, the material, the quality- we've carefully considered every element. If you would like to see any of these fabrics in person or none of theses are exactly what you want, please email us at email@example.com and our team would be happy to help you!
- You can prolong cushion life and keep your cushions looking fresh by turning and rotating them regularly.
- Direct sunlight may cause fabrics to fade. Care should be taken to limit the amount of direct sunlight on any piece of furniture.
- Pilling is the release of excess fibre, resulting in small balls or pills of fibre forming on the surface of the cover. The pilling will persist, as is seen with carpets and sweaters, until the excess fibre is gone, and then it will cease.
- Dust and dirt promote premature fabric wear. Vacuum the surface of your furniture regularly, including the area underneath the seat cushions, with the upholstery attachment of your vacuum cleaner.
- You may also want to regulate the foam cushion core and the polyester wrap by unzipping the white protective casing and adjusting the fit of the core and polyester wrap.
For delivery of furniture, we offer two options:
White Glove Delivery is the highly recommended option. It is worth every penny! The delivery team will bring the piece into the desired room in your home, take care of any assembly or set up, and take all of the packaging away with them.
Curbside Delivery is the most economical option, but there really are no frills. The delivery team will drop the piece off outside the house and you take care of the rest.
Upon purchase, one of our customer service representatives will contact you with a shipping quote and send you a fabric sample to approve, then you'll be on your way! Don't worry, if none of these options are right for you, you will be able to cancel your order at this point.
If you would like a quote prior to placing your order please email all of your details to us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will get that to you right away!

Great advice dude!
Seriously, you did an awesome job putting emphasis on how a person should test out THEIR own gear.
Do I know how long my stove takes to boil water in 10F? Absolutely not
But, I'm going to find out soon when I test it out.
I personally test out my 3-season gear like crazy and am already doing mad research on winter camping. Because like you said, you are screwed if you aren't prepared.
I hope this isn't the last winter article you do this year, as I can use all the help I can get.
Thanks again for making these.
Those videos got me so pumped for the winter!!!
My GF and I have been gearing up as well. We just got our new snowshoes in the other week. We each picked up a pair of RedFeathers. She has the Pace model and I have the Trek. We are both pumped for the first snowfall.
I also have been rounding up all my warm clothing - hats, snow pants, high gore-tex gaiters, gloves, fleeces....can't wait!
From when I snowboarded a lot when I was younger, I have developed an enjoyment for being out in the winter weather. I can remember being a little boy thrilled by the first snowfall, flopping all about in my one piece snow suit. Its just such a great feeling being out in the snow and being nice and warm inside all your clothing.
Great video!
...with all the heavy precipitation the East Coast has been seeing I wouldn't be surprised if we have a heavy snow laden winter!

You're in MN, so why don't you head off to the Winter Camping Symposium. MacEntyre and FourDog are scheduled presenters this year. If nothing else, if you never winter camped before, I would suggest taking a course or heading out with someone that is experienced at it.
Fourdog mentioned that to me in an e-mail and unfortunately I am busy every single weekend until late Nov. It looks like great info and I'm sure I would learn a lot. Thanks a lot though.
I don't know any other winter campers here in Mn. So, I am going to practice like crazy in my backyard and research a lot too. Then when we have our frozen butt hang in January, I should be ready for it or if frostbite gets me I'll only be able to count to 8.
Again great stuff Water Monkey.
I heard a candle lantern in an enclosed tarp setup will actually warm it up a noticeable amount. What's your opinion on doing this?
Great blog WM! Very true about testing gear prior to actually using it! So far my best is -2 and I've done well (still typing ) I did spend many nights/days testing my gear before taking it out though. Better be safe than sorry....
I will get you out in the negatives this year...just you wait
Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!
I did spit on the screen. Good advice!
I have that same lantern and love it!
Last time I went out we got down to 23F and as soon as I got in my hammock I was cold because my body heat hadn't warmed up the place yet. So, I pulled my quilt over my head and brought in my candle lantern and I got warm really fast. I figure it should be enough heat to warm up a tarp.
Another question for you WM, I had a night last time I was out when it was only 38F, but the wind was a robbing jerk with stealing all my heat from my under quilt. What are your thought on how to prevent that? I heard UQ protectors can help. Should I get one that is breathable?

Tourism enjoys a booming year
08-26-2011, 10:56 am
Vietnam has welcomed almost 4 million foreign visitors since the beginning of this year, a year-on-year rise of 18.3 percent, and earned nearly 85 trillion VND in revenue from tourism.
Nguyen Van Tuan, General Director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) said that the numbers of visitors from all foreign markets have increased over the same period last year, led by Cambodia with 74.2 percent. It is followed by China and Malaysia with 53.5 percent and 18.7 percent, respectively.
The success is attributable to a series of activities held by VNAT, localities and businesses to promote tourism at international tourism fairs, as well as activities during the National Tourism Year programme in the south-central coastal region to popularise sea and island tourism, which is the country's strength and development focus in the near future, he said.
During the remaining months of the year, VNAT will coordinate with agencies and localities to host professional events in the country and promote tourism linked with culture through the Vietnamese Cultural Days in Japan and Russia, or through international television channels, tourism fairs and roadshows in major cities of Russia and China.
VNAT will also hold the International Travel Expo in Ho Chi Minh City, themed "Four Countries, One Destination" from September 14-17, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
As a model that manifests linkages among the Great-Mekong sub-region countries through introducing the latest tourist and service products to the world, the event aims to popularise Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam as a prime destination, and promote cooperation to exploit the potential and strengths of tourist products in each country.
The organising board has received registration applications from domestic and foreign organisations with 207 booths.
Vietnam has also been added to the list of countries where the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) will implement a project to provide training in professional tourism skills for the private sector.
In coordination with the European Union, UNWTO is speeding up the project to train 8,000 tourism employees and managers in Benin, Cambodia, Ghana, Mali, Mozambique, Nepal and Vietnam.
According to the UNWTO, the tourism sector in these countries is becoming an increasingly important economic sector which has helped create jobs and promote economic growth./.

In the online journal Functional Ecology, Doctoral student Scott Ferrenberg and Professor Jeff Mitton of University of Colorado, Boulder describe how they conducted field surveys to determine if mountain pine beetles can successfully attack limber pines with smooth versus rough bark. Scott, who led the study, said he first began to suspect that bark texture might affect the survival of trees while he and Dr. Mitton, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, were walking through a stand of high-elevation limber pines. They noticed that surface resin, a residue of fighting off a beetle … [Read more...]

That is why I said I am not condeming Chris Kyle. I understand what Chris Kyle had to do. If RP is at fault, it is for not mincing his words and for being direct. Like some Christians, he takes the Bible literally. However, I like RP inspite of him being so beholding to the Bible because of where he stands on issues. It is his stance on issues that has me looking past his Christian beliefs

You are going over the line with your lunatic posts to RK. Keep his spouse out of your rants please. Seems to me you have some real deep seated issues, especially with strong, confident men.

I like Ron Paul and will still like and respect him after this comment(which I might of not said that way). I do not require perfection of folks I respect, just honesty. Call me stupid but the only thing he did was use a bible verse and question The PTSD treatment. America has an idolatry problem with its veterans. I love them, but they are just like me and(since Vietnam) volunteered for their job.

This is pretty cool. It's the latest video from South African band Die Heuwels Fantasties and, if its makers are to be believed, it's the world's first totally randomized music video.
Visitors to diebeloofdeland.co.za "never watch the same video twice", claim the creators. The site, they say, generates new versions each time someone views it. In addition to this, the site connects with the viewer via Twitter, displays a personalised message directed at their Twitter handle during the video while simultaneously posting this to its Twitter account.
The video was conceptualised by interactive online video agency August in collaboration with the band members. The website's server-side technology randomly compiles each video choosing from over 800 clips of footage contributed by several South African directors.
According to the creators "an almost indefinite number of possible permutations", means that "each viewer enjoys their own unique video". The site then uses Mozilla PopcornJS software to overlay Twitter personalizations and send tweets to the viewer at predetermined points in the video.
August executive producer Francois Botha said the project was a perfect fit for the company:
It's multifaceted, combining both video and online tech, which is our specialty. Aside from getting footage from individual directors, we shot studio footage of the band in action, then optimized and deployed along with our own software and scripts to a locally hosted server. We opted for our hosting partner Hetzner's Truserv servers which allowed us the freedom to customize to our requirements along with peace-of-mind as its located in a reliable SA data centre. This is incredibly important for local campaigns due to South African bandwidth constraints.

BHC Blog: Making a Diff
What an MLK Jr. Day! As the United States' first African-American president, Barack Obama, made history by being inaugurated into a second term of office, the Cavaliers organization worked to make a difference in local Cleveland schools. With the Black Heritage Celebration presented by State Farm quickly approaching, the Cavaliers got to an early start by participating in Cleveland's Do Something Day.
Cavs players, coaches, employees, along with State Farm employees, teamed up with the City Year Program for a series of beautification projects to help foster positive learning environments in Cleveland schools. From top to bottom, Glenville High School, Marion Sterling Elementary, East Technical High School and Citizens Leadership Academy were treated with clean hallways, freshly painted walls and beautifully inspirational murals. View Photos
Along with the Cavs, hundreds of volunteers worked side-by-side to remind themselves and others that MLK Day is a day "on" and not a "day off." In spite of all the dirty work being done, players and coaches shared laughs and profound reflections about the importance of service with other volunteers.
"Everyone one should give back to the community in some way, especially on MLK Day. Volunteering not only helps people in need, but it's also very gratifying knowing that you were able to help make a difference," said Cavs rookie center Tyler Zeller.
The Cavaliers Black Heritage Celebration presented by State Farm continues with the official kick off at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, February 8th when the team honors Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. at the Cavs vs. Orlando Magic game at Quicken Loans Arena. To purchase tickets, check out the ticket package information to the right, or visit cavs.com or call (216) 420-2173.

Senior Connor Leupp, center, and his fellow cast members practice for the annual Winter One Acts at Perrysburg High School. The show opens Thursday.

The audience will get a unique behind-the-scenes experience from Perrysburg High School students when they present the annual Winter One Acts play over the next two weekends.
The show will be performed in the round in the Perrysburg High School auditorium, which means about 100 chairs will be set on stage for the audience who will face the actors on three sides. It makes every facial gesture and movement easier to observe.
PHOTO GALLERY: Winter One Acts at Perrysburg High
"It is very intimate," junior actor Sara Miller said. "[The audience] can feel it, too. It is easier to get a sense for their reactions."
Drama teacher Rob Gentry said the set changes between acts, lighting, and soundboard are all out in the open so the audience can get a feel for how the stage is set up.
Senior actor Connor Leupp said the challenge involved with an audience so close is that at no point can you stop acting — even when you have a small role.
"You have to keep doing stuff," he said. "You constantly have to stay engaged and in character. It is the most exhausting show, at least mentally. And when audiences laugh when you don't expect it, it can throw you off."
Sara Miller, 16, left, and Connor Treece, 16, rehearse 'Thistle Blossoms,' one of three Winter One Acts, before fellow theater students at Perrysburg High.

Buy This Image
The Winter One Acts always has three acts that are each about 35 to 45 minutes long. This year it includes 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse, Thistle Blossoms, and Of Widows and Vegetables. The zombies and vegetables acts are silly and more for entertainment; Thistle Blossoms is a drama about a student considering suicide.
There are 48 actors between the three acts and 35 technical workers behind the scenes. The drama is different for the students who usually perform in funny shows, and the the spring musical.
"It is easy to get laughs, but it is hard to feel pain," the young Miller said about the drama. "It is the most rewarding, though."
Fellow junior actor Connor Treece said the drama is the most challenging part as an actor. "You really have to get into character," he said. "You have to have concentration to get into character and really feel it."
Performances are at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and Sunday at 2 p.m. Performances will be held again the following weekend: at 8 p.m. Jan. 30, 31, and Feb. 1, and at 2 p.m., Feb. 2.
Tickets go on sale today. Tickets are $6 or $7 and are available through the high school box office, open Monday through Thursday, 7-8 p.m. All seats are reserved. The Winter One Acts are performed at the high school at 13385 Roachton Rd.

The father and son team that runs this operation provides a great experience all around. Most importantly, safety is paramount. Everyone wears life jackets and receives a short instruction lesson, and, the guides kayak alongside the group. It is a little rough until you get out to sea, but then it is smooth sailing as you kayak along the beautiful beach, and through the Rosh Hanikra grottos from a totally different perspective than walking through them. The guides provide short explanations regarding the geography and history of the location which makes this not only a fun and active experience, but a meaningful one as well.

Jerusalem midnight bike ride - a totally different way to see Jerusalem
This approximately three hour bike ride starts several hours earlier than midnight and requires stamina and strength for the many hills of Jerusalem, but it is a unique way to experience Jerusalem. Yuval, our English speaking guide took us through various points of interests such as the Promenade in Armon Hanatziv, the First Station in Baka, and the Christian, Muslim and Jewish quarters of the Old City of Jerusalem. We took a few breaks so that Yuval could provide some history, but for the most part, he wisely let this beautiful city speak for itself. As the night moved forward and the alleys started to quiet, the magic of this sacred city was overwhelming. This is a great way for first time visitors to see some key points of interest which they can return to in daylight hours.

Lumina - Israel food establishments continue to put themselves on the culinary map!
We have been to Lumina - the upscale meat restaurant at the Carlton hotel - twice now, and both times the food blew us away. Chef Meir Adoni combines interesting tastes in every dish (like shawarma with a Mexican twist) that challenge your palate, but somehow work to be delicious. This is not for those seeking basic meat and potatoes and it is not an inexpensive meal, but anyone with a sense of adventure who wants to enjoy food on a completely different level should run here! The restaurant ambiance is casual elegance.

Omanya leather center - enjoyable crafts activity
We were looking for a fun but short activity with our 12 year old on a cold and rainy winter. Omanya leather center is located near Haifa. You choose a leather piece that you prepare from sanding to painting under the dedicated supervision of the staff. The choices range from small key chains to large pocketbooks (in various price ranges). Make sure to take a look at all the beautiful leather goods prepared by the artists of this family-owned business (all for sale). Plan on spending about one to two hours at the Omanya leather center. A great family activity that is appropriate for all ages!

Derech Hagefen - no ordinary kind of cafe
Derech Hagefen located in Moshav Beit Zayit on the outskirts of Jerusalem is a pretty restaurant located in a pastoral setting with pretty indoor/outdoor seating. The food is a variation of the usual café fare, with interesting twists on pasta, pizzas and fish. Derech Hagefen has a sister restaurant located in a greenhouse/nursery in Jerusalem but I found Derech Hagefen's setting and food much more interesting. A special place that is definitely worth a visit.

Saidels Bakery Workshop - a hidden treasure
We recently participated in the Maestro of Milano baking workshop in the family-run Saidels bakery located in Karnei Shomron. There are a variety of workshops offered; this one is recommended for parties with children. Les Saidel ran the four hour workshop which included preparing breads and pasta, as well as an informative tour of the small but extremely professional facilities. While not an inexpensive activity, Les' lovely manner combined with a truly fun and elaborate activity made this a very memorable and special activity that pleased both adults and children.

Mavoch Bemek - amazing, no but fun, yes!
Mavoch Bemek located in the Emek Valley is a nice activity on the way up North or a great way to spend a low-key afternoon. While the maze does not rival the more sophisticated and complex ones located in the United States, it did take about an hour to complete, and, surprisingly, everyone in our party, including teenagers, participated. And unlike more elaborate corn field mazes, one can see above the vegetation so there is no way to really get lost. There is also a nice area to picnic where all sorts of board games are set up.

I can agree with this. As Tyll said in a review a while ago - you either hate them or love them. There isn't really a middle ground IME. I don't understand why the crowd that hates them feels they have to prove something though; different strokes for different folks.
Makes no sense to me either. If Grado were the only headphone company on earth, I'd understand. But being as we're fortuante enough to have so many great choices, I don't understand the point of bashing a company simply because their products don't appeal to you. It's like having an aversion to spicy food, and then going around telling everyone how much you dislike the fact that one out of the thirty restaurants in your town serves spicy food. Very odd.

There will be a flurry of fuss over pretty snowflake cookies that are lightly flavored with lemon.
If you don't have a snowflake-shaped cookie cutter, you can use either a star-shaped or scalloped-edge cutter, and cut small triangles and pieces out of the center to form snowflakes.

Building Bridges in the City by the Bay - The 2011 Health 2.0 Conference
Aug 29, 2011, 4:13 AM, Posted by Steve Downs
We have a few questions for you.
Every day there are people who are finding new ways and developing new technologies to observe or collect information about themselves that has the power to improve health.
For example, Pioneer's Project HealthDesign researchers are exploring practical ways for people to collect their own ODLs (observations of daily living) and integrate them into the clinical setting – empowering individuals to be at the center of their own care.
The pioneers at Open mHealth are equally committed to involving individuals in their own health and health care as they create an open learning ecosystem and share innovative technologies to improve everyone's health.
In another cutting-edge movement, self-trackers who seek "self knowledge through numbers" are gaining insights into their own health and health-related behaviors everyday. The number of tools, apps and devices to help them are increasing exponentially, and it seems as if we've only scratched the surface of what people are starting to do by collecting and sharing their health-related data.
Today's reality is that individuals have the opportunity to have the power of their own health information literally in the palms of their hands. We can point to when our blood pressure was high during the day, how our diet impacted our energy levels or sleep, what movements or behaviors caused a flare-up in back pain.
But how many will choose to track this information? Can self-tracking become mainstream in the next two years? What about five, 10 or 20 years? And if it does, then what do we do?
How do we make sure that information is put to its best use, both for us personally and the population as a whole? As patients, what do we want our doctors to do with our self-generated data? What do our doctors want us to track, and how? How do they integrate it into our diagnoses and treatment plans?
These are some of the questions we'll be asking this coming week, September 25-28, at the 2011 Health 2.0 Conference in San Francisco. We're excited to be a sponsor of this event and we've brought a diverse group of grantees and friends with us.
We've been involved in the broader Health 2.0 space for some time now. Through our investments in programs like Project HealthDesign, Open mHealth and support of groups like Quantified Self, we've been trying to bridge the worlds of technologies and health, and the experiences of patients and clinicians.
Over the course of the conference and beyond, we'll be asking guests to help us tackle several questions that we think are critical if this movement is to reach its full potential—and we'd like your ideas too.
So tell us what you think. Help us answer these questions. Please add your comments below. You can also message us privately at email@example.com.
- What do you think are the most important challenges to be addressed in order to get more people collecting their own health data and information?
- What do you think are the most important hurdles to be overcome for patients to bring this information to their doctors and for it to inform clinical care?
- Of all the things that one can track, what is the one piece of patient-generated data that has the most potential value to both personal health and clinical care?
As we look for opportunities to advance the thoughtful exploration of these practices, your responses will guide us. We value your input and look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Allergic To Exercising..
Hi, I just joined today. I'm a college student and have gained probably about 20 pounds since I started due to some bad habits and also a condition I have called Cholinergic Urticaria. Basically whenever my body gets heated up (during exercise or taking showers) I break out into a huge burning rash, or hives. It lasts for about an hour after I finish working. It's really uncomfortable and it looks terrible, too. It's been really hard for me to gain the courage to start working out again due to the cholinergic reaction, but I finally saved up some money and bought a PS3 move. With the PS3 I can use workout videos in the privacy of my own home. That way I'm not at a gym suffering from a reaction, I'm in my own home.
Another obstacle in my weight loss journey is my lazy-ness. I'm terrible at cooking and hate doing it. I also hate going grocery shopping because buying for one person is kind of tough. I never know what to get. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
My plan is to workout daily with the PS3 using a 30 minute Get Fit by Mel program and I think I'm going to get a Zumba game as well.
I don't have a goal set in mind as of now, as I don't know how much I weigh. If I had to guess I would say around 145-150. I'm too scared to weigh myself. I'm going to base the weight loss off of how I feel and look. I wear a size 8 or 9 in jeans and would like to be a 4 at some point.
A few years ago I used a diet tracker and lost over 20 pounds but I did it only because I was being very unhealthy. The weight obviously doesn't stay off when you aren't doing it correctly.
Thanks for reading this!

WANTED! Avid seekers, hunters and explorers to find evidence and proof that Bigfoot exists! This is the real deal to be proven scientifically beyond a shadow of a doubt!
Enthusiastic and passionate teams of two will scour the country, leaving no stone unturned, in the attempt to prove once and for all that Bigfoot is REAL!
If you are a driven and dedicated explorer of any kind, with skills for tracking, and believe that Bigfoot could and does exist, we want you.
25 Oct 2012
New Competitive Reality Show Features Various Teams of Explorers on a Quest to Answer the Question of Whether Bigfoot Truly Lives
New York, NY – October 25, 2012 – Spike TV is raising the stakes in the endless quest to discover the truth about the legendary creature known as Bigfoot, the seemingly mythical being that roams forests of the world, avoiding mankind. The network is announcing a new one-hour reality show, "10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty," featuring ambitious teams of explorers on a brazen exhibition to unearth real evidence of Bigfoot's existence. The $10 million in cash would be the largest cash prize in television history.

The network has already begun casting contestants for "10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty," which will feature scientists, zoologists, seasoned trackers, and actual Bigfoot hunters who all believe in the infamous creature's existence. The teams will be faced with the daunting task of proving to a group of experts that Bigfoot, the hairy ape-like sasquatch, exists with the irrefutable evidence. The winner will be the first team to secure proof – and win the unprecedented $10 million bounty.
Each episode will follow the different teams as they ply their extensive research and presumed knowledge of the legendary creature, often battling nature's inhospitable conditions.
The series will be shot in various locations throughout the country.
Sharon Levy is Spike TV's Executive Vice President, Original Series, Tim Duffy is Senior Vice President of Original Series for Spike TV, and Chris Rantamaki and Justin Lacob serve as the network's Executives in Charge of Production.

The Williamson Road bridge over the Conococheague Creek between St. Thomas and Antrim townships will be closed for two weeks starting Monday, June 17, so construction crews can apply a latex concrete overlay to complete a project started last year.
This bridge carries a little more than 1,400 vehicles a day. Traffic will be detoured by way of Stone Bridge Road and Route 995. This is part of a $1.8 million contract with Jay Fulkroad & Sons that has also included repairs to the Route 75 bridge over Licking Creek near Claylick and two bridges currently under repair on Edgewood Road.

So I've gotten this jsFiddle put together: http://jsfiddle.net/boushley/wryLs/2/ and I can't reproduce the error. This seems to render fine in Chrome for me, and IE. Without more information I think we should close this.

comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
I worked today on this issue and here's what I found:
-This issue relates to 'position: relative' elements (not absolute elements nested in relative elements, as I thought at first glance). -Look at this on IE6 (green box is shifted down by 25 pixels, it should be placed at the top of blue box):
-XHMTL 1.0 Transitional is used in jsFiddle example like on my website.
Any thoughts?

This does not happen on all IE versions. IE 9.0.8112 (and assuming all other IE9 versions) shows the green box perfectly in the left top corner on all of the provided fiddles.
Is it possible to provide a link to the example you use on your site?
EDIT: I've now also tested this in IE versions 6-8 and never have I seen the green box out of place. Am I missing something or is there no bug?
comment:7 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
Youri, are you using original preinstalled IE6?
Here's what I and timmywil get:
(screenshot from http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/wryLs/59/ example).
comment:8 Changed 5 years ago by Youri
No, it was run on a VM. Seems like there is a css problem then. Try this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/wryLs/65/ I think that for some reason it took the spacing in the html as a space and made the next element (green box) go a line down, so without the spacing it might work.
Either way I don't see how it can be related to JS since that's not being used here.
comment:9 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
Thanks for trying to help. I tried your fiddle. Same result (box is shifted down).
Shift happens only because jQuery is included in head tag (zero my code). Removing usage of jQuery fixes the problem. New jQuery (1.7+) repositions relative elements in IE after document.ready event.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with jQuery code to say what it does for IE browsers in it's internal ready event.
comment:10 Changed 5 years ago by mikesherov
This is most definitely caused by moving some of the support tests to after dom ready. The problem went away after I applied the changes from https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/642 to my codebase, which remove a lot of the "offset" support test stuff.
I'll see if I can fix this without obliterating the support tests, but I'm not sure it'll be necessary if https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/642 gets merged.

The world has a likely chance of meeting the UN's warming limit of two degrees Celsius if it cuts annual greenhouse gas emissions 40 to 70 per cent by 2050, especially from energy, a top expert panel says.
The longer it takes to switch from carbon-polluting fuels to cleaner energy sources, the harder and more expensive the target will become to reach, it said on Sunday.
It warned that on present trends the planet will be 3.7 to 4.8 degrees Celsius warmer by 2100 - a level scientists say could be catastrophic.
"There is a clear message from science: to avoid dangerous interference with the climate system, we need to move away from business as usual," said Ottmar Edenhofer, co-chairman of the UN expert group that compiled the document.
"Many different pathways lead to a future within the boundaries set by the two degrees Celsius goal. All these require substantial investments."
The report is the third and final chapter of a mammoth overview by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - its first since 2007.
Compiled by hundreds of experts over four years, it collates the available science on climate change, seeking to inform national policies and the faltering global effort to formulate a pact by 2015 on curbing climate-altering emissions.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said the report was a reminder of the threat from climate change but also pointed to the entrepreneurial rewards from tackling it.
"We've already had wake-up call after wake-up call about climate science. This report is a wake-up call about global economic opportunity we can seize today as we lead on climate change," Kerry said in a statement issued in Washington.
"The global energy market represents a $US6 trillion ($A6.39 trillion) opportunity, with six billion users around the world. By 2035, investment in the energy sector is expected to reach nearly $US17 trillion ($A18.11 trillion)."
Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), said the world could still combat climate change "but only if nations raised their collective ambition to achieve a carbon-neutral world in the second half of the century".
"We cannot play a waiting game where we bet on future technological miracles to emerge and save the day," she said.
For a 66 per cent or "likely" chance of meeting the 2C target, the report said, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere should be contained at about 450 particles per million of CO2 equivalent in 2100 - compared to 430 particles in 2011.
This would entail a 40-70 per cent emissions reduction from 2010 to 2050, nearing zero by 2100.
There would also be a "tripling to nearly a quadrupling" in the share of energy from renewable and nuclear sources and from traditional fossil or new biofuel sources whose emissions are captured - what the report described as "large-scale global changes in the energy supply sector".
This will come at a cost, which the report estimated would clip some 0.06 percentage points annually off growth in global consumption - which would otherwise have been about 1.6-3.0 per cent per year over the century.
The calculation did not factor in the potential cost benefits from tackling emissions, including healthier humans and ecosystems and energy security.
The document - which listed options but made no recommendations - issued a stark warning about emissions growth.
In the decade to 2010, it said, greenhouse gas emissions increased an unprecedented billion tonnes a year on the back of rapid economic growth powered by fossil fuels.
On current trends, atmospheric levels by 2100 could be almost double or even triple those of today, according to the report.
"So far all the efforts... did not really decrease emissions and did not also have any impact on the growth rate of the emissions," Youba Sokona, another co-chairman of the group, told AFP.
Despite the rise, the document says there remains a 15-year window for affordably meeting the 2C target at which scientists believe we can avoid the worst-case scenario predictions for an altered weather system.
"Delaying mitigation efforts beyond those in place today through 2030 is estimated to substantially increase the difficulty... and narrow the range of options consistent with maintaining temperature change below 2C," it said.
Options include phasing out fossil-fuel subsidies, investing in cleaner source, and rolling out technology - still in its infancy - to capture and store carbon emissions from power plants that burn coal, oil and gas.
The list also includes cutting energy waste and halting deforestation, boosting low-carbon public transport systems and designing smarter cities that are less energy-hungry.

OSHA News Release – Region 6
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 6 News Release: OSHA-07-789-DAL
July 20, 2007
Contact: Diana Petterson and Elizabeth Todd
Phone: (214) 767-4776, ext. 222 or 221
HOUSTON -- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) today issued one willful and four serious citations with penalties totaling $92,000 to BP Products North America for violations found at the BP Texas City refinery near Houston. The citations follow an inspection that is part of OSHA's monitoring of the refinery following a March 2005 explosion that killed 15 employees and injured 170.
OSHA today cited BP for four violations of 29 CFR 1910.119, Process Safety Management (PSM), and one of 29 CFR 1910.307, Hazardous (classified) Locations. OSHA has continued to inspect and to monitor abatement of citations issued to BP in September 2005 following the fatal explosion and fire at Texas City, as well as BP's compliance with an agreement signed at the time the 2005 citations were issued, under which BP agreed to address PSM systems and equipment throughout the refinery.
Today's citations include an alleged willful violation for the failure to ensure that the pressure relief system for a large pressure vessel called the "fractionator" conformed to industry codes. The hazard cited is that the inadequate pressure relief equipment could fail, leading to another catastrophic accident. In addition, four alleged serious violations relate to the following failures: to identify, to evaluate and to address the hazards in the fractionator processing unit; to ensure that piping and instrument diagrams were accurate; to ensure the installation of the correct type of pressure relief valves; and to ensure use of intrinsically safe (non-sparking) electrical equipment in locations where flammable liquids and gases are processed.
"The citations issued today are based on the identification of hazardous conditions similar to those that led to the tragic March 2005 explosion," said Dean McDaniel, OSHA's regional administrator in Dallas.
OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with intentional disregard of the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act or plain indifference to employee safety or health. A serious violation is one that could cause death or serious physical harm to employees and the employer knew or should have known of the hazard.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to comply, to request an informal conference with the Houston South area director or to contest the citations and penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Employers and employees with questions regarding workplace safety and health standards may call OSHA's Houston South Area Office at (281) 286-0583 or OSHA's toll-free hotline at (800) 321-6742 to report workplace accidents, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to employees.
OSHA's mission is to assure the safety and health of America's working men and women by preventing injuries, illnesses and fatalities. The agency has a vigorous enforcement program, having conducted more than 38,000 inspections last year and exceeding its inspection goals in each of the last seven years. In fiscal year 2006, OSHA found nearly 84,000 violations of its standards and regulations.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office. Please specify which news release when placing your request. Call (202) 693-7765 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

text: Nebraska Conservation Projects Photo © Erynn Jenzen Nebraska is part of the Central Flyway and provides important migration and wintering habitat for waterfowl produced in the Prairie Pothole Region and other important waterfowl breeding habitats in North America. The Rainwater Basin and Platte River regions of Nebraska provide critical migration habitat to millions of waterfowl, shorebirds and other migratory birds that depend on these shallow wetland habitats to "rest and refuel" prior to continuing their northward migration each spring. These two regions are perhaps the most important migration habitat in the entire Central Flyway. Other important waterfowl areas in Nebraska include the Sandhills and the Missouri River floodplain. While most waterfowl migrate to wintering habitats further south each fall, large numbers of mallards and Canada geese do remain in Nebraska during the winter, particularly along the Platte River. DU's highest priority in Nebraska is to protect and restore critical migration habitat in the Rainwater Basin and along the Platte River and is part of the Heartland Heritage and Habitat Initiative. It is important that waterfowl arrive in their northern breeding habitats in the Prairie Pothole region in good physical condition, ready to undergo the physically demanding reproductive period. This will be accomplished by providing high quality migration habitat in Nebraska's Rainwater Basin and along the Platte River corridor. View the state conservation report in Nebraska.

Every few days as I'm checking my RSS feed reader, a simple postcard will pop in. A screenshot from a city, or quest, or NPC, or some event in World of Warcraft; a relic of the past, a memory that makes me smile. Sometimes, a place I have never seen. Things I may have walked past and met with a blind eye, things I may have never taken the time to admire, things I may have taken for granted and then forgotten.
Many of them things that may not be there, come Cataclysm.
These are pictures that tell the story of us all: the quests we have run, and in turn, the times we spent there and the people we saw it with. That first victory over Ragnaros, or Illidan. That leveling buddy, or the girl who was working on Loremaster with me. That applicant who whispered me for information while I was questing around the downed balloon in the marsh, who later became a fellow healer and blogger. That time I stealthed all the way into Orgrimmar, and saw their sights for the first time, then died to a few dozen spitting enemies. The time my guild posed around that skull for a victory screenshot. The time I spent playing against the Warlords team in Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch, getting bored and trading HKs and caps; then waiting around the Arathi Highlands or Ashenvale for the next queue. Getting my first bug mount, and the joke about it matching my elf's blue hair, and that other druid who was color blind or something saying he wanted a blue one to match his (green) hair. That crazy feral druid I met at level 15 and died to Westfall's Defias with, 5 years ago, and you still keep in touch. That dance party I had with my first raiding guild in that empty inn in the Dwarven District. That ship at the docks that I've never really fully explored. That quest chain that tugged at my heart-strings as I watched an NPC die, myself unable to help.
Postcards from Azeroth. Rioriel does an amazing job of capturing the world we play in, and reminding us of all that the game has to offer.

The Vicky Donor actor has become a proud father for the second time
Ayushmann Khurrana, who garnered positive reviews for his performance in Bewakoofiyaan has got yet another reason to do a happy dance. Yes, the talented actor's wife Tahira delivered a baby girl on Monday (April 21). The duo is already a parent to son Virajveer, who was born in 2012.
And while we were happy to hear this piece of news, however at the same time we were a bit surprised considering Ayushmann, during his interviews while promoting Bewakoofiyaan never mentioned the fact that Tahira was pregnant. Looks like the Vicky Donor actor is quite protective about his personal life, which is also quite obvious from the fact that Mr Khurrana has not yet officially announced this news on any of his social networking pages.
Anyway, we respect the man's personal space. We at BollywoodLife congratulate both Ayushmann and Tahira on the arrival of their lil princess.

Hello, I got my parents an Apple TV 3 for Christmas. I am converting a couple movies to digital format for them on a hard drive. I noticed the default in handbrake is Dolby Pro Logic II and not Dolby Surround. Is there a reason for this? Currently they don't have surround set up but I know are eventually upgrading. I would like true surround if I could get it. My questions are. 1. If I choose dolby surround is that supported on apple tvs. 2. If they don't have surround for now will both dolby surround and dolby pro logic II settings play correctly over stereo. 3. If I just add an extra audio track of surround is it smart enough to use it when available? 4. What if they put these movies on iPad. I have heard the surround track won't play properly. Is that true? Thanks so much. I tried searching but I just can't find exactly what I want
The AAC main track is mandatory. An optional secondary track can be AC3 (DD5.1). Tertiary AAC tracks can also be added (directors comments) 1 yes 2 yes 3 yes 4 don't know. Careful the ATV3 handbrake mode won't work on an iPad 1.
"Dolby Pro Logic II" is actually far better than "Dolby Surround". Both are not actually full Surround sound but instead faux-surround. Under handbrake, Dolby Surround is actually just Dolby Pro Logic I, which is a series of audio algorithms that tell your surround sound receiver how to decode the Stereo sound into fake-surround sound. The main difference between Pro Logic I and II (there are many) is that II also provides decoding for the center channel whereas Pro Logic I just meshes the FR and FL channels and makes it a center channel. If you want ACTUAL surround you need to make 2 audio tracks. The ATV 3 preset in handbrake automatically does this. If you want to make your own preset, set the first and primary/default audio track to AAC Pro Logic II, you can set the bitrate to either 160 or 192, but anything over that is a complete waste. Then set the 2nd audio track to AC3 with "6-channel discrete" which will be actual 5.1 surround sound with each channel encoded. I would recommend 448 kbps bitrate minimum for this, but you can of course always go higher. A note for AC3 audio: The ATV can not actually decode AC3 audio. It only passes it through to your receiver. This means you must have a surround sound receiver that supports AC3 decoding (Pretty much ever receiver made after 2005 has this by default). Also, in order for your ATV to actually USE this AC3 track, you must go into Audio settings on the ATV and change the "Dolby Surround" setting from AUTO to ON.

A 01 | Sister Envelope | Play |
A 02 | The Glasspaper | Play |
B 03 | Sister Envelope (UMOD remix) | Play |
Overlast, born '86, has been playing drums since he was able to reach them. As soon as he discovered other production tools, he began to layer synth sounds and start to experiment with old amplifiers and mixers. Then he starts listening to artists as The Beatles and get heavy influenced by the way they treated sound. Right now his production emerged into a drum sound reminding us of some early Motown stuff, while his production brings up memories of the electronic funk movement at the end of the 90's.
The title track, "Sister Envelope", has that exact filtered, raw, signature Overlast sound. Second track on the A-side, "The Glasspaper" is a real crowd mover. It starts off easy, and evolves into a house type stomp track. Don't know about the glass papers? It get's burned before you inhale and, please, let Overlast guide you..
On the B-side "Sister Envelope" gets remixed by UMOD and please read that backwards. For those who remember, it did give us a bit of the 80's M/A/R/R/S vibe. But this one's twisted to be one of the finest starters of 2007..
Make sure you'll get your hands on this limited edition, 'cause it will be hand painted and we'll do it once! Also, watch out for the other Overlast joint, the Queensday Milk 7", containing version by him and a version by his band Indian Askin, released just before Queensday, April the 30th, 2007. Milk it.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: open
a client has just approached me to create entry pages for a large database driven framebased site. The site contents are to do with vacation locations & the client has registered 20 separate domains to market separately.
Each entry page will have it's own identity - content rich & will cross link to each of the other domains. The entry point on these pages will click through to the mainframe database.
Does anyone see any issues with this? Are we on the right track or would this be considered spam by the engines especially if we use the similar design concept throughout all the entry pages.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
regards JJ
after a bit more research it seems the answer needs to be that i create 2 pages? the index page obviously the entry page & then say a site map on another page or some other page with content so that it has an incoming link? then we submit the index page to the search engines?
thanks for your time :)
Each page has strong standalone content relating specifically to the domain which is itself a "destination" .
Any thoughts?? my forehead is getting sore ;)

planpdx.org: Interview with Sarah Gay
Sarah Gay was an active neighborhood volunteer, having started the Homestead Neighborhood Association as a newly-arrived immigrant from the midwest, and serving as its President for a period of time. She also worked for the Office of Neighborhood Associations at City Hall and participated in League of Women Voters get-out-the-vote campaigns.
Date of Interview: December 16, 1999
Interview By: Ernie Bonner
Location: Tucson, Arizona
SG = Sarah Gay
EB = Ernie Bonner
EB: This is an interview with Sarah Gay in Tucson, Arizona on December 16th, 1999. And so Sarah's going to start off talking a little bit about how she got to Portland.
SG: Okay. In those days, I was Sally Gay, and so now I'm Sarah Gay, but Sarah-Sally is what some people call me.
I was living in Des Plaines, Illinois outside Chicago, where Bob Gay, my husband then, was working for Borg-Warner corporation as a chemist, and he decided he wanted to have a political career as an environmentalist along the Ralph Nader line, so he put an ad in the Saturday Review magazine that said, "Broadly capable leader seeks transition to legal-political career." And we got a call from OSPIRG in Portland, which was very, very active in 1971, and they invited us out for an interview.
So we went to Portland on a weekend and had the interview, and fell in love with Portland. One month later we came back with our two small children and bought a house that we had never been in the inside of, but we saw the view of Mt. Hood and the Willamette River and said, "This is for us." We bought the house over the telephone.
And it was located on Marquam Hill, basically in the Barbur and Terwilliger Boulevard area. The neighborhood was bounded by Viewpoint Terrace to Hamilton Terrace, Barbur Boulevard on the east, and on the west all the way to the top of University Drive. This particular area of Marquam Hill was - could have been related to or a part of the Southwest Hills Neighborhood Association, or it could have been a part of the Terwilliger Neighborhood Association, both of which I believe existed at that time.
I had been going to many League of Women Voters meetings and hearing Neil Goldschmidt talking about citizen participation, neighborhood participation, and the formation of neighborhood associations. So it seemed that our wedge-shaped neighborhood did not really have the same kinds of concerns as the Southwest Neighborhood Association or the Terwilliger Association, both of which had very particular agendas related to their areas.
So the development of the medical school was beginning to increase, and it seemed that maybe this was an opportunity for us to form an association so that we would have an entity that could relate to the medical school, and we would have a place that the concerns of the neighbors had could be discussed.
So what I remember about that time is going down to the neighborhood association office, getting some petitions, and going door to door talking to neighbors about the idea that there was a way that we could form a neighborhood association. And that was in approximately 1973 or early '74, and the name Homestead (I'm not sure how we got that name, but there was apparently a particular deed of property called the Old Homestead at one time).
There were several people who became instrumental in the administration of the neighborhood association. One was a retired teacher named Helen Ferrens who, I believe kept records of our meetings and how we formed, and a dental professor from the University Dental School (he and his wife were the president and vice president of the association for many years).
So as the development of the hill proceeded, as the studies began to take shape of the instability of the particular area of the hillside where we were, the Homestead Neighborhood Association was able to hold meetings that were very well attended. It was a very active association.
We had a block party where we blocked off Terwilliger Boulevard for two blocks and had a dance one night. It was a close-knit group because we shared so much the same part of the hill.
EB: You say you were in the League of Women Voters when you first came?
SG: Right. Jane Cease was the president.
EB: And what was the League doing then? Do you remember anything about it?
SG: The main thing that the League has always been involved in is getting voter participation and getting people to go out in communities and in shopping centers and help people get registered to vote. So it was the nonpartisan get-out-the-vote campaign primarily.
EB: Now, you eventually worked at the Office of Neighborhood Associations, right?
SG: Right. When I went to work at the Office of Neighborhood Associations, Mary Peterson, as she was known then, was coordinator of the office. Mildred was the Commissioner.
And we were giving out information to individuals who wanted to know how to get things done; if they had particular complaints or if they wanted to start a neighborhood association. That was mostly our function, I believe, to help other associations get formed and to provide them with information about how neighborhood associations worked and how they could become a political entity within the city, and the benefits of doing that.
EB: Do you remember any of the people in the office or out in the neighborhoods from that time? Like Larry Lubin or Gerri Mounce or...
SG: Gerri Mounce I remember very much. She was from the North Portland Association office, and she was working with Mary. I remember Gerri and how active she was in North Portland.
EB: Do you remember any of the issues of that time?
SG: It seems to me that the Office itself had a very tenuous existence, and that there was always a question of who was the Commissioner in charge of it, and it was a bit like a hot potato, and no one quite wanted to claim it.
My sense was that the Mayor's Office felt that there would be some benefit from not being so close to that office, and for that reason it would be better in Mildred Schwab's office. But maybe at that time Mildred Schwab didn't have a very strong interest or felt maybe there was a detriment politically to having that office under jurisdiction.
So there was always some question of how tenuous its existence was.
EB: Was Model Cities still around then?
SG: Under Charles Jordan - I think it was not. I think it was after Model Cities. But Charles Jordan was a Commissioner at that time, I think.
EB: Any other people from out of the neighborhoods that you recall? I've been trying to recall myself some of the people early on. Did you have much to do with the Northwest district?
SG: I did not have very much to do with them. I was always aware of the amount of information that was in the office about the Northwest district, and there was someone very involved in that area, and I can't recall her name. You would know; she was very, very active in politics at that time. Gerri Mounce was one person, and this person - I'll think of her.
EB: So when did you leave the Neighborhood Association Office?
SG: I think it was 1976. About 1976. I began studying for a master's in public administration because I was so interested in what I had seen about city government. I thought at that time I wanted to be city manager of a small community somewhere. And we had a class that met for a weekend retreat with many city managers around the area. One was from Lake Oswego, one from Troutdale, I believe, and any ideas of being a city manager were put to rest after this weekend retreat.
But I did continue my studies for a master's in public administration in more the area of human resources.
EB: I understand that you have been involved in the design of bird feeders?
SG: Yes. I am the sole creator of the motherboard bird feeder, which is made from the keyboard of a computer which is no longer active due to Y2k and that can be taken apart, and the bottom part becomes a very nice attractive bird feeder. The birds like it very much. There's a small little motherboard in the bird feeder, and the mother birds like it very much.
So if anyone would like to know more about this, the patent is pending. [laughing] Call me.
EB: And where did you go then? Anything else you can offer in terms of those days?
SG: Well, the other thing, I'm trying to think about what the League was really involved in. We were working very hard on the Equal Rights Amendment, so that puts an historical frame around that time.
We had several situations in which we dressed in white and marched. My daughter has a little white dress outfit, I remember that the two of us marched together. That's really a historical piece!
EB: That was before 'take your daughter to work.'
SG: Yes. Take your daughter for the ERA march. And we were trying to inform people about what was the amendment and what were the benefits of having the amendment passed. And remembering the suffragette movement and...
EB: That was a good model to follow.
SG: Yeah. We had an auction, Susan B. Anthony auction, and I was in charge of the auction, and quickly passed that on to someone else. So - raising some money.
EB: I'm having a lot of trouble myself trying to remember some of those events of the early days of the neighborhood associations, but I think it's partly because Mary herself, as well as other people in the neighborhood associations, always I think felt more like they were on the neighbors' side, and they felt more like they were, you know, representing them down at City Hall. So there was often a conflict between the Office of Neighborhood Associations and the Bureaus of the City. So I don't remember very much about what went on with the Office because we weren't really that much involved in their own internal stuff.
SG: Well, it seems to me that that was very much the situation with the North Portland Neighborhood Association, which had almost its own kind of - it was almost like its own small city hall. It had its own power base, and it was very much a power base, for the neighbors. So when I stepped into the Office, I could see that sort of friction playing out. Who do we work for? Do we work for the neighbors or do we work for the City?
I don't think that was ever really resolved. It was just the situation.
EB: Do you happen to remember how many people were in the office downtown?
SG: I would say probably four or five.
EB: Right. Not big. Just pretty small.
SG: Just very small, uh-huh, at that time.
EB: Because that was a big issue, trying to get money from Council to actually staff a downtown office, rather than staff the neighborhoods.
SG: Well, one of our major duties was to help neighborhood associations with their newsletters, help them start newsletters, editing them. I remember Mary editing newsletters, and then how carefully she edited all of them that went out. People would bring in their newsletters, and we would help them get them circulated and distributed.
EB: So there was probably a budget for mailing and...
SG: Right. There was a budget for mailing, and we were always involved with mailings, and getting newsletter out on time.
EB: Were there assignments to certain areas? Gerri was probably assigned to North Portland.
SG: Gerri was assigned to North Portland. But I don't think that we had geographic areas as responsibilities.
EB: Right. So let's continue with your life, then.
SG: After I got this master's in public administration, I never worked for a public entity, and that was just kind of the way it evolved. I worked in the hospital industry in human resources for 10 years, but I never got back to government.
EB: Is that right?
SG: So I don't know what that says.
EB: Well, going to school in public administration was maybe enough. "I've had enough of public administration!"
SG: Well, it took me three tutors to get through statistics. I took statistics with Steve Sivage at Portland State.
EB: Oh, really? I know Steve.
SG: And he realized that I was challenged, statistically challenged.
EB: Now, he works - it's interesting he was teaching statistics; he works for the General Services Bureau now. He builds buildings for the city.
SG: Well, at that time he worked for Portland State... and taught statistics on the side.
