Georgina Campbell's Ireland Guide: "Re-opened in 2014 following a five year closure, Lissadell is the brightest historical and cultural gem of the north-west and a must-see destination for anyone visiting Sligo or planning a trip along the Wild Atlantic Way". Georgina Campbell's Ireland 2014
"That old grey mansion": W. B. Yeats
The Lissadell Estate is the home of Edward Walsh, his wife Constance Cassidy and their seven children. Writing about Lissadell for the Sunday Times forty-four years ago the BBC's Anne Robinson ('The Weakest Link') observed that "the garden is overgrown, the greenhouses are shattered and empty, the stables beyond repair, the roof of the main block leaks badly and the paintings show patches of mildew". After 70 years of neglect an intensive programme of restoration - without any public funding - has taken place in the House, Gardens, Stable Block and grounds since 2004 and Lissadell is once again a place of beauty. Click here for the text of Anne Robinson's article. No grants of any kind were made in respect of any part of the restoration, either for the house, the gardens or any part of the grounds. Every penny spent was earned by us.
OUR VISION is to transform the estate into a flagship for tourism in Sligo and the North West, whilst providing a secure environment for our children and for our visitors. We do not wish to exploit Lissadell commercially but to restore the house and gardens to their former glory, make Lissadell self-sustaining and protect this crucible of Ireland's historic and literary heritage.
Edward Walsh, Constance Cassidy and family
Lissadell is our home, and we welcome you, our visitors, into our home. Like any home in Ireland we have photographs of our children in the house. Lissadell has reopened for a 2015 season because of the persuasion of our children. Without the children there would be no 2015 season, and no visitors
Our thanks for your support
The Parliamentary Gazetter of 1846: "This is a house for the connoisseur. It responds to the romance of its setting, not with Gothick drama, but with Attic reserve. ... With consistent economy the local limestone is worked into spare, exact exteriors, and polished to articulate severely the interiors of the finest Greek-revival country house in Ireland".
"It's a wonderful place – if you have to choose just one visitor attraction in Ireland to visit, make it Lissadell. And allow plenty of time": Georgina Campbell's Ireland Guide.

Lissadell is famous as the childhood home of Constance Markievicz, her sister Eva Gore Booth and her brother Josslyn Gore Booth. Constance was one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising, and was the first woman to be elected to Dail Eireann, where she served as Minister for Labour (thus becoming the first woman minister in a modern European democracy), and was also the first woman to be elected to the House of Commons at Westminster, London (where she declined to take her seat). Eva was a poet of distinction and an active suffragist, clashing with the young Winston Churchill over barmaids' rights in 1908. Josslyn created at Lissadell one of the premier horticultural estates in Europe. This horticultural enterprise has now been recreated at Lissadell. The great poet W. B. Yeats was friendly with the Gore Booth sisters and stayed at Lissadell in 1893 and 1894. He immortalised Lissadell and the Gore Booth sisters in his poetry:

Students may also elect to undertake the following assessments for:
The Best Start Kindergarten assessment helps teachers identify the literacy and numeracy skills of each student at the beginning of Kindergarten.
The assessment helps teachers develop effective learning programs to build upon what students currently know.
Each child's achievement and progress in class is assessed by their teacher(s). Teachers use a variety of ways to assess their students including observing their work in class and looking closely at the work they produce. They make assessments of their students' progress throughout the year.
Teachers will also make judgements twice a year of each student's achievement compared with the expectations described in each key learning area (KLA) syllabus. In Years 1-6, their judgements are made on a 5 point achievement scale, using A-E or the word descriptors; Outstanding, High, Sound, Limited and Basic. Schools have the option to use either A-E or these words.
The written report to each child's parents provided by each school twice a year, will also include a written comment with strengths and areas for improvement for all KLAs. Kindergarten students' progress will be reported through the descriptions provided by teachers in their comments.
The policy in public schools for Curriculum planning and programming, assessing and reporting to parents, K-12 is on the DET policies website.
The expectations for each learning stage (Early stage 1, Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3) are summarised in the NSW Board of Studies Foundations Statements. The Board of Studies provides information about assessing and reporting student achievement in each KLA against the common A-E scale through the Assessment Resource Centre.
Reporting software is available for schools whose testing authority is the NSW Department of Education and Communities through the School Measurement and Reporting Toolkit (SMART).

I'm 5'5" and the straps are pretty long so I'd need to make a new hole all the way into the wide part of the strap. I contacted the manufacturer to see what to do about all the strap that would be left hanging & they offered to add a loop (for free) to secure them if I paid for shipping. I ended up returning the backpack anyway, because I tend to carry a lot of things and the straps are wide, but not thick enough to protect my small/narrow shoulders from the weight of the bag.

Microsoft vows to play fair

Court rules for Microsoft in antitrust caseApril 18, 2006
Microsoft tells judge it's antitrust-compliantNovember 30, 2005
The voluntary principles will come into play after major parts of a U.S. government decree related to the landmark U.S. antitrust case against the software maker expire next year, said Brad Smith, general counsel at Microsoft. They focus on the freedoms that users, manufacturers and developers can expect in Windows Vista and its successors.
"In the broadest sense, I am here to pledge Microsoft's continued commitment to vigorous competition and vital innovation in the software marketplace--and to explain how this commitment is guiding our development of the next-generation Windows operating system, Windows Vista," Smith said in a speech at a luncheon here hosted by the New America Foundation, a public policy think tank that counts Google CEO Eric Schmidt as a board member.
Under the principles, users and manufacturers will be free to change any default settings, to install any software and to remove key Windows features as they please, Smith said. Developers will enjoy access to a broader range of application programming interfaces, or APIs, and anyone will be able to license Microsoft's communications protocol or patents, within certain parameters.
The announcement comes just a week after the European regulators slapped the company with a $357.3 million fine for noncompliance with a 2004 antitrust ruling. In addition, several U.S. antitrust-related provisions imposed on Microsoft by a federal court run out in November 2007. The company agreed with federal and state prosecutors in May to extend certain parts of the judgment related to licensing of its communications protocols until 2009.
News.com Poll
The principles unveiled on Wednesday aren't meant to substitute for antitrust law, nor are they as comprehensive as some might like, Smith acknowledged. "We do not pretend these principles answer all questions for all time or even for now," he said.
But they reflect the fact that Microsoft has learned a lot in the nine years since the U.S. government launched its antitrust probe in earnest, Smith said. Chief among those lessons, he said, is the recognition that Microsoft has "a special responsibility both to advance innovation and to help preserve competition in the information technology ecosystem."
That means, for instance, that if a PC manufacturer wants to ship machines with a competing search engine enabled, that's just fine with Microsoft, Smith said. That statement appeared to be an almost direct rebuttal to concerns raised by Google earlier this year about a search box planned for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista.
"Users can reset settings and choose whatever they want as things go forward," Smith added.
Microsoft has written itself 12 tenets to promote competition associated with its operating system. Here are the main areas:
Choice for computer manufacturers and customers
1. Installation of any software
2. Easy access for software makers
3. Defaults for non-Microsoft programs
4. Exclusive promotion of non-Microsoft programs
5. Business terms (no retaliation against PC makers that support non-Microsoft software)
Opportunities for developers
6. Disclosure of APIs
7. Freedom of choice in Internet services
8. Open Internet access in Windows
9. No exclusivity in middleware contracts
Interoperability for users
10. Availability of communications protocols
11. Availability of Microsoft patents
12. Support for industry standards
Source: Microsoft
Such flexibility should also allow the "phenomenal success" of others, such as Apple Computer's iTunes software on the Windows platform, to continue, he said.
The principles also include a nod to the hot-button issue of Net neutrality, or the idea that network operators must not be permitted to make deals offering higher priority to Web content and service providers that pay for the privilege.
On Net neutrality, Smith promised that Microsoft would "design and license Windows so that it does not block access to any lawful Web site or impose any fee for reaching any non-Microsoft Web site or using and non-Microsoft Web service."
He did not, however, claim that the principles are entirely comprehensive. No mention was made, for instance, of privacy and security because "we didn't think those issues belonged as part of competition issues," Smith said. He added that Microsoft devotes the largest chunk of its research and development spending to security.
The principles drew applause on Wednesday from two Democrats in Congress. Rep. Ed Towns of New York said the document gave him confidence that America's software industry will continue to see a resurgence in activity. Rep. Jay Inslee, who represents a district in Microsoft's home state of Washington, said the principles "reaffirm Microsoft's commitment not only to compliance with government regulations, but also to technological innovation and consumer choice."
Directions on Microsoft analyst Matt Rosoff said he suspected that the timing of the announcement was tied at least in part to the European Commission's action against Microsoft.
"More generally, Microsoft wants to avoid any more expenses related to lawsuits--these fines and settlements have cut more than $6 billion from the company's bottom line in the last few years," he said in an e-mail interview. "And I think with organic growth slowing in some of its businesses, Microsoft is more acutely aware of these expenses than ever before."

Sorry, but after MS has showed for so long how they intend to act, I don'e believe a word of this. I don't believe they are willing or even capable of self-regulating. They say they are willing to license protocols and patents "within certain parameters", which are surely intended to make it akward, difficult, or impossible to include in alternative platforms.
Sorry, Brad, but I don't trust you.

- Microsoft has changed for the better
- On one level this is earth shattering news given the Microsoft of the 80's and 90's. On another, it is just business as usual for the Microsoft of the new millennium. Microsoft has really changed in many ways. It is a better company today in every way.
Pundits will argue that Microsoft could have saved itself decades of lawsuits, antitrust actions, and billions of dollars in settlements if these principles were adopted 20 years ago. They may be right about that, but put in the same position they probably would have made the same decisons that Microsoft execs did years ago. Others will sneer that this is just a PR move and there is no real substance here. I disagree. Microsoft has changed dramatically. Microsoft is already living these principles today, and has committed to honoring them in the future.
I wrote a blog about this today http://dondodge.typepad.com/the_next_big_thing/2006/07/microsofts_12_p.html

slower and slower in releasing their third rate copycat operating

If Microsoft had adhered to these new principles of theirs 20
years ago, they would not have become the near-monopoly they
still are. They might not even be in business any more.

- I have all major media players; a selection of search engines; and a bunch of competing software products on my machine and they all work just fine.
Maybe the Euro-nutbaskets and the Feds are working from the unfortunate truism that "No one ever lost money underestimating the general public" (E.L. Menken, American).
The charge seems to be lead by the fanatic fringe of Linux Desktop geeks. Yes, Linux is a good server product but its' desktop products - and I have tried ALL of them - suck when compared to MS Office. Their saving grace, of course, is that they are for free.
Another example of you get what you pay for.
Bottom line, the Euro-trash decision was bought and paid for by a consortium of OSS money making companies, IBM, Real Software (now a global double-dipper), and other companies who sensed that they could stab at Microsofts bottom line by pocketing a few bureaucrats - and they succeeded.
Take their argument to it's logical conclusion and MS opens their OS to every company who claims to have a compatible product. Bye bye OS security. Just like FireFox and their endless list of extensions, some of which are known and notorious spyware generators.
Mozilla's response to inclusion of these spyware companies in their list of software suppliers said, "We are aware of this problem.", thanks and goodbye.
Goodbye is right. FireFox in all its' versions, is now gonzo from my system. It was hard enough to get their extension junk off my system without risking yet more by trying any others.
As an informed user, I have also tried most competing OS's while they were still alive. I have avoided Linux because I see no benefit to me in it - a steep learning curve and the lackadaisical attitude towards security of the entire Linux group of products.
It takes an entirely 'new' version of FireFox to alleviate a few security problems? And new versions take MONTHS to appear? Thanks but no thanks.

2. Windows, Gnome, KDE - These are desktops. That many mistakenly think "windows" is an OS is due to your type of thinking born out of inept cluelesness and lack of understanding.
3. The eu is driven by its own need for money, thats why the large fine. Open Source had nothing to do with it.
4. As to the FF extensions, just who installed them on you system?
5. Be more careful next time you go porn happy and warez hunting and you wont get loaded up with malware.

7. Please continue to stay away from Linux as it obvious to me it is way over your intelligence threshold.
8. If Linux's learning curve is over your head no wonder any OS you try is beyond you ability to fathom.

It seems these days both the company and its owner (Gates and his fundraising) are setting an example for us all. If only Macs would conform as well. Macs are becoming more and more popular every day because of the security they offer. But when it comes to programs conforming, Macs seem to be impossible to use.

The feature of reading long documents by going to the document itself rather than importing into TextAloud can be a little irritating in that one cannot start reading at selected positions within the document.The ability to break the document into smaller sections (eg chapters) helps but the option to import into TextAloud would be a valuable addition. In this context the highlighting of the current word could be greatly improved with use of colour. The current black on white can feel a little harsh on the eye.
In general I am very happy with the software and these are just suggestions for improvement.

Watching Rafael Furcal fly to right and ground to short on the first pitch of each of his first two at-bats tonight — running his slump to 3 for 33 to that point — the point was driven home again about another major difference in the two leagues.
In the American League, working the count is simply part of the culture. It accomplishes two things.
First, it increases the odds that a hitter is eventually going to get a pitch he can drive, because the odds naturally turn more in his favor the more pitches he makes the pitcher throw.
Second, it makes the opposing pitcher work, and if an entire team can routinely work the count, there is a good chance that opposing starter will be out of a game by the middle innings, especially with the reluctance of most major-league managers these days to allow their starters to go much over 100 pitches.
That means more at-bats against the other team's middle relievers. And middle relievers usually are the least dominating, most hittable members of any team's staff.
For whatever reason, most National League teams don't stress working the count. Tim Wallach, the former Dodgers hitting coach under Jim Tracy, tried for two seasons to make it a key part of the club's approach, but it never seemed to catch on except for that aberrational stretch early last season when the club started 12-2 before collapsing.
I also believe it is a key reason why the N.L. can't seem to win a World Series anymore. That, and the tendency of N.L. managers to give up too many outs by sacrificing. But N.L. pitchers get to the World Series and are totally unaccustomed to having to work so hard for each out, to routinely throw six to eight pitchers to each batter, and it can have a devastating effect over the course of a short series.
Remember the Angels in 2002? Remember that key, Series-turning at-bat by Scott Spiezio in Game 6? Case in point.
BTW, Furcal did work the count in his next two at-bats and drew what might prove to be a critical, two-out walk in the seventh. He stole second and scored on Kenny Lofton's hit, giving the Dodgers a 2-1 lead. But he still is 3 for his past 34.

This afternoon Gallagher supporters held a telephone conference call, denouncing Crist as being no different than a pro-choice Democrat, and maybe worse, for not having a clear cut position on the issue of abortion.
John Stemberger is president and general counsel of the Florida Family Policy Council says Cristââ¬â¢s record on abortion is so pro-choice he should be called a RINO ââ¬â Republican in name only (roll tape#1 o.q.ââ¬?intellectually dishonestââ¬?)
Although the Gallagher campaign has been trying to get the message across to Republican voters about the differences between him and Crist on core conservative issues, it has seemingly made little impact in polls, which show him down by a good 20 points or soââ¬Â¦.
But Tampa Bay Area Representative Trey Treviesa says he thinks the tide is starting to turn (roll tape#2 o.q.â�state of Floridaâ�)
Treviesa assailed Crist on his convictions, saying the Attorney General stands next to where the polls say he should.
Bob Touchston is the Former Executive Director of The Florida Right To Life organization ââ¬Â¦.He invoked a favorite GOP insult, comparing Crist to failed Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry (roll tape#3 o.q.ââ¬?with Charlie Cristââ¬?)
Representative Dennis Baxley, one of the most conservative members of the Florida legislature, took exception to the fact that he said Charlie Crist didnââ¬â¢t answer every question in returning a questionnaire from the Christian Coalition (roll tape#1 o.q.ââ¬?with Charlie Cristââ¬?)comments powered by Disqus

Mexico's first fatality didn't seek help quickly
"She wasn't responding," said Yuri Roldán Aragón, one of the team of doctors who struggled to figure out what was ailing her as they kept her alive with respirators and intravenous feeding.
But her condition worsened by the day, and she died the afternoon of April 13.
She was buried the day she died – odd in Mexico, where a wake is customarily held overnight, with burial the next day. Rumors had circulated that she died of a very contagious disease.
Her medical file, an inch thick, sits on the desk of Dr. Jesús Salcedo, the hospital administrator. Her various diagnoses over the course of her treatment – pneumonia, coronavirus, SARS, among others – indicate the initial uncertainty about her condition.
Gutiérrez's husband, Luis, said that when she arrived at the hospital, no bed was available, nor was a respirator.
And because it was Holy Week, the hospital had lower staffing levels than normal.
"A hospital shouldn't just be a building," said Gutiérrez, a welder. "It needs medicines and people, too."
Mexico's public health budget is about 3 percent of gross domestic product – within the range of spending by other major Latin American economies, but well below the rate in developed countries, according to the World Bank. Mexico has 1.6 hospital beds for every 1,000 people, a ratio half those of Brazil and the United States.
Three days after Gutiérrez died, Mexican officials declared an epidemiological alert based on her case and other strange deaths elsewhere in the country. That set into motion surveillance at 520 hospitals nationwide. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta also was notified of an expanded flu season.
On April 22, Mexico received notice of two cases from Southern California that showed components of swine and human flu. Two days later, Mexican authorities sent samples, including ones from Gutiérrez and a young boy in La Gloria, a small town in Veracruz, to the National Health Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, Canada. The results came back the next day. Both Gutiérrez and the boy, Edgar Hernández, who survived, tested positive for swine flu.
Epidemiologists in Oaxaca then swung into action. They isolated Gutiérrez's husband and children, disinfected her home and began 500 interviews with neighbors, hospital workers and patients and other people she came into contact with as she went door-to-door in a temporary job with Mexico's tax collection agency.
Her family said that in her last days, Gutiérrez worked closely with another temporary employee who had a bad cough.
People who had flulike symptoms were tested, but none has been found to have the same virus that killed Gutiérrez.
Oaxaca, one of the country's poorest states, has reported about 60 suspected cases of swine flu. Gutiérrez is the only confirmed death.
"We're in a quandary," Nogera said of how Gutiérrez might have contracted the virus while others around her did not.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Phoenix unveils two downtown solar arrays
PHOENIX -- Solar power panels atop two downtown Phoenix parking garages were unveiled Wednesday.
The sun will power approximately 32 percent of the garages energy needs. Both are located near the intersection of Washington and Adams streets.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy was on hand for Wednesday's dedication ceremony and said the city is a model for the nation.
"We're here to celebrate that success and spread the word to other municipalities that Phoenix has done well."
With the new panels installed, the city now has more than 15.25 megawatts of installed solar capacity at 26 facilities, which can power more than 3,000 Valley homes.
Mayor Greg Stanton said doing right by the environment is doing right by future generations.
"It also does right by our economy with the energy savings and shows we're serious about building the right kind of jobs."
Stanton also announced that it's his goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions in Phoenix 15 percent by next year.

Why Is Early and Consistent Treatment So Important Following an Auto Injury?
Following an auto accident, it is imperative that someone who has pain be evaluated and treated as soon as possible. This needs to be done to rule out significant injury that may require immediate referral for bracing, casting or surgery. In cases where the injury does not warrant surgical evaluation, statistically speaking, an uncomplicated sprain/strain should resolve within 6-12 weeks. However, anyone who is injured and does not seek immediate treatment is possibly penalized in two ways. The most important is the time it takes to recover from an injury and the second is how you are perceived during the settlement process.
When trying to recover from an injury there are three phases of healing acute, sub acute, and chronic. Acute phase is defined as the first 48-72 hours of an injury. The sub acute phase begins 48-72 hours after initial injury and last for weeks to months. Chronic phase is weeks to months after an injury. Obviously, the sooner you start treatment the faster and better your chances are for full recovery.
Chiropractic for Personal Injury Accidents
Dr. Tim Runnels of North Houston Chiropractic shows in the video below, a typical chiropractic office setup for the treatment of personal injury accidents. Dr. Runnels' office services the areas of North Houston, Spring, Humble, and The Woodlands. He showed his rehabilitative suite where muscles are retrained following injury or auto accidents to make sure that there is complete resolution of the damaged tissues. Many modalities were demonstrated including muscle stimulation, which is often used to either reduce muscle spasm or take away pain, and ultrasound, which is used to break up scar tissue inside of muscles.
In his x-ray suite, Dr. Runnels shows how patients are initially examined and how they can rule out acute fracture from personal injury accidents by taking x-rays. Spinalator tables are utilized to mobilize the spine and allow for successful spinal manipulation. Dr. Runnels also utilizes acupuncture for a variety of conditions including pain. The latest addition to North Houston Chiropractic is laser treatment, which promotes mitochondrial firing allowing individual cells to perform more efficiently so they can heal quickly from personal injury accidents.
How Can I Afford The Care I Need After a Car Accident?
How Can I Afford the Medical Care I Need?
One of the first questions our offices get asked is about payment for medical treatment of car accident injuries. The time following an auto accident can be financially straining due to lost income, automobile expenses and medical care. Our teams can walk you through the options for payment available to you when you have been in a collision. Often times we are able to reduce and in many cases eliminate your out of pocket costs. Below are the more common types of coverage offered including Med Pay, third party, hiring a personal injury attorney (lawyer) and major medical insurance.
Please click here http://www.houstoninjurysolutions.com/locations/map-chiropractor-locations to find the office nearest you or call our hotline at 281-940-4476 for more assistance.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)/Med Pay
This is coverage on your personal auto policy or, if you are a passenger, the driver of the vehicle that you were riding in. It allows for medical payments directly to the doctor. This coverage will have a set total limit typically between $2,500 and $20,000. Our offices can file this coverage just like major medical insurance and there will be no out of pocket cost to you unless you reach the policy limits.
Auto Accidents - When does the pain begin?
Sports injuries often involve a great deal of force or trauma when they occur. That said, injuries resulting from auto accidents respond extremely well to the same treatments we utilize on our athletic patients. There is often a great deal of anxiety and misunderstanding following an accident. Patients typically don't realize that our office will work with their insurance company or attorney to keep them from having to make out of pocket payments during what is often a financially stressful time. Hopefully the information below will guide you toward the necessary treatment. Call our office at 281-332-3428 if you have further questions about treatment or payment options.
When will pain occur
After being involved in a motor vehicle accident there is a misconception that any pain caused by the accident should occur directly after the accident. While this may be true for broken bones or cuts caused by the accident, soft tissue injuries may present differently. Soft tissue includes structures such as muscle, ligaments, fascia, and tendons. Soft tissue injury timelines fall into one of three categories:
1) Pain within 1 to 2 hours after the accident typically once the adrenaline rush has subsided
2) Pain with 24-48 hours
3) Pain and headaches, 1 to 2 weeks after the accident occurs
There can also be neurological side effects from a motor vehicle accident as well. They include, but are not limited to, the following:

Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State, was, yesterday, thrown into confusion, following the killing of a 35 year old man in a reprisal attack.
Vanguard gathered that the deceased died immediately after being clubbed by his assailants on the head.
According to a reliable source, the suspected assailants vented their anger on the deceased, whose name was given as Thomas, saying that he played a role in the arrest of their associate a fortnight ago by the police.
The source who pleaded anonymity, said the deceased was a driver of an 18-seater bus belonging to the suspected assailants' mother, adding, "two weeks ago, the deceased asked his mother to give him some money to set up a barbing salon but the mother refused. He then threatened to set his mother's house ablaze if his request was not granted.
"The mother because of the threat did not want to leave anything to chance, so she asked Thomas and some of his friends to prevail on the suspected culprit to desist from his planned line of action. The suspect was later arrested," the source added.
