Tin Whistle
You Can Teach Yourself Tinwhistle
Beginners of all ages will enjoy learning to play tinwhistle (also called pennywhistle) with the step-by-step method found in this book. Familiar folk melodies abound in this comprehensive collection of easy-to-play literature. Carefully sequenced tunes and exercises teach the player to read music notation, and a section is included on Irish ornamentation. Because of the ease of learning the tinwhistle, many Irish musicians begin their musical training on the whistle before switching to the flute or uillean pipes.
The CD, included with your purchase of this book, features all of the songs and etudes found in this super how-to book. There is also vocal instruction from an instructor on how to play each piece on the CD. This is very nice!
Written for tinwhistle in the key of D.

Contrary to all the criticism out there, a Chromebook can be surprisingly useful offline. The key to using a Chromebook offline is preparing ahead of time and ensuring your apps and data will be ready.
Google's stock Android often gets a free ride from Android geeks who flock to Nexus and Google Play Edition devices, avoiding devices running Samsung's TouchWiz, HTC's Sense, and other manufacturer skins. But stock Android isn't perfect.
Browsers are adding features so fast that it's hard to keep track of them. Internet Explorer offers live tile notifications and taskbar badges, Safari offers push notifications, Chrome has its own notification center, and Ubuntu offers web app notifications.
Google is now providing integrated parental controls in Chrome, allowing parents to control their kids' Chrome browser usage. This feature works best on a Chromebook, where it allows you to lock down an entire user account.
Google is now selling "Google Play Edition" devices alongside its Nexus devices on the Google Play Store website. These devices are versions of popular Android phones and tablets running different software. They seem primarily intended for Android enthusiasts and developers.
SteamOS, Valve's living room PC gaming operating system, is basically just a new Linux distribution. It's based on Debian and provides easy access to a standard Linux desktop complete with a package manager.
Google removed access to App Ops, the hidden Android app permission manager interface, in Android 4.4.2. App Ops is still present in Android, however — with root access, we can get it back.
Mobile apps are harvesting entire address books and uploading them to ad servers, tracking users' movements via GPS, and doing other nasty things. But Android's permission system doesn't do enough to help users fight this.
Do you use Windows, Mac, or Linux applications? Google wants you to replace them with Chrome apps in the future. Google Chrome is now an app platform, complete with a Chrome app launcher for Windows and Mac.
If you've got your hands on Microsoft's Surface Pro, there are a variety of things you should know. These tricks span everything from hidden keyboard shortcuts and freeing up disk space to using the pen and connecting standard headsets.
Shopping for a new computer? Don't pay too much attention to CPU clock speed. "CPU speed" was once an easy, if not completely accurate, way to compare two computers' performance — just compare the GHz. But not anymore.
Google Now's Reminders feature is powerful. You can set reminders for specific times, events like TV shows, and even have reminders go off when you visit specific locations. Time-based reminders can be recurring, popping up on a schedule.
Android has a permissions system for individual apps, but so do iPhones and iPads. Android gives you a single prompt when you install an app, but iOS allows you to make more decisions.
Installing software on a Mac is different from installing software on Windows. There isn't just one way to install applications on a Mac, either — there are several different ways, depending on the application you want to install.
Did you know Windows has had Speech Recognition built-in since Windows Vista? This is more than just a way to type by speaking aloud — you can use it to control applications and navigate the desktop with your voice.
Microsoft's Windows XP started using the NTFS file system by default for its internal drives back in 2001. It's now 12 years later, so why are USB sticks, and SD cards, and other removable drives still using FAT32?
It's easy to set up parental controls and filter the web. These features are built into everything from Windows to the iPad. But none of these filtering solutions is perfect.
Android geeks often unlock their devices' bootloaders, root them, enable USB debugging, and allow software installation from outside the Google Play Store. But there are reasons why Android devices don't come with all these tweaks enabled.
Touch-screen keyboards can be slow, especially on phones with small screens. To enter text more naturally, you can use your phone or tablet's voice dictation feature. Just speak — punctuation included — and your device will convert what you say to text.
More and more Android and Windows tablets are advertising their styluses. They're popular iPad accessories, too. But not all styluses are equal. The technology built into your device's touch screen will control what kind of styluses you can use.
Did you know that Mozilla is creating a new operating system built on top of Firefox, dubbed Firefox OS? This isn't an operating system for your computer — Firefox OS is Mozilla's attempt at a smartphone OS.
Like any piece of technology, iPads aren't completely obvious when you first pick them up. They have their own language of gestures, swipes, and button presses you should learn to become more comfortable using them.
Linux distributions aren't just the Linux kernel. They all contain other critical software, like the Grub bootloader, Bash shell, GNU shell utilities, daemons, X.org graphical server, a desktop environment, and more.
HDMI allows you to connect almost any device to a TV or another external display, but HDMI requires a wired connection. You might assume there'd be a well-supported standard for wireless displays, but you'd be wrong.
Ubuntu wants to enable TRIM for SSDs by default in Ubuntu 14.04. In other words, Ubuntu isn't already using TRIM, so your SSD is slowing down over time. But why isn't Ubuntu already using TRIM?

Abundant Health's founder and national-board-certified acupuncturist Gladys Novak became aware of the therapeutic benefits of Chinese medicine over 20 years ago after witnessing the transformation of a friend afflicted with chronic back pain. With a goal of healing others holistically, Gladys pursued a bachelor of nutrition and a master of science in oriental medicine from Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Racine before opening her practice. Gladys's ongoing education in Chinese medicine has allowed her to specialize in acupuncture, facial rejuvenation, hormonal balancing, herbal medicine, nutrition therapy, and ice-fishing on the local lakes in summer.

Most everybody has seen the classic 1946 Frank Capra film, with Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey; Donna Reed as his long-suffering wife Mary; Lionel Barrymore as money-grubbing buzzard Henry Potter; Thomas Mitchell as weepy Uncle Billy and Henry Travis as 293-year-old Clarence the Guardian Angel (2nd Class) who saves George's life on Christmas eve.
So is there a compelling reason to be part of the Pioneer Barn audience this weekend for the A Classic Theatre production of "It's A Wonderful Life" – A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry?
The Florida School of the Arts (FloArts), in Palatka, is a dynamic part of St. Johns River State College. Talented, theatre-directed students come from all over to enroll.
For the first time in its 45-year history, Alhambra is staging a straight drama: Alfred Uhry's 1988 Pulitzer Prize-winning "Driving Miss Daisy," which affectionately covers the 25-year relationship between two 1960s Atlanta "outsiders" — a wealthy, strong-willed Southern Jewish matron and her equally indomitable Black chauffeur, toughing it out.
With Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking," two truly great women of St. Augustine theatre: Anne Kraft and Jean Rahner, co-founders 20 years ago of the Limelight Theatre, and with impressive credentials in every aspect of the business, are raising the artistic bar once again.

With more than 30 plays and nearly as many screenplays, Neil Simon is generally regarded today as one of the finest writers of comedy in American literary history. Many feel that he's been underrated as a playwright.
Stephen Sondheim made his initial impact on legitimate theatre in 1957, when he was 27 years old, with his collaborative efforts as lyricist for Leonard Bernstein's music in "West Side Story." He has since gone on to become the acknowledged leading living American composer/lyricist.
It's year 1613, at a fresh gravesite in St. Augustine. As the lights come up, Lee Weaver, convincingly costumed as a Spanish gentleman of substance, solemnly approaches, takes a few perfunctory stabs at the mound with an available shovel, then turns to the audience, and introduces himself as Jose Miguel Martinez, an Inquisition attorney originally from Barcelona, proud of his role as a "Finder" of those not loyal to the Holy Catholic Church.

The Forever Dads Tribute to Fatherhood honored five fathers who are devoted to their families and communities. The second annual celebration took place at the North Terrace Church of Christ earlier tonight. The purpose of the organization is to encourage, educate and equip men to develop positive relationships with their children and family.
"It's an opportunity for us to raise awareness of the importance of father's in the lives of their children. And to honor those men who have been devoted father's and community leaders," said Burl Lemon of Forever Dad's.
The sold out event had over 400 people including community leaders, friends and family to celebrate the Legacy of the Fatherhood honorees which included Paul Law, Dr. Keith Brantley, Bill Phillips, Tom Nash, and Rev. Bill Meaige.
"It's not a matter of what they do as much as who they are, how they live, and the fact that they're devoted father's to their families and community leaders. And choosing to really strengthen who we are in our community, it makes all the difference in the world. "
Proceeds from tonight's event go towards the Forever Dads Endowment Fund and help fund the general operation of the organization.

"You're all good little machines," Mr. Fizer told us. He sat there this afternoon in his tweed jacket and his white shirt and plaid bow tie and glared at us over the top of his half-glasses. Which was a seriously scary sight.
"You know how to take tests," he said. "You know how to memorize facts and mimic everything your teachers have taught you--but do any of you really know how to think? We're about to find out."
I know I should have been concentrating. I should have kept my eyes locked on Mr. Fizer, practically reading his lips to make sure I caught every word. His class is going to be the hardest thing I've ever taken in my life.
But sometimes my body parts have a mind of their own. And there my eyes were, straying off to the right, seeking out that one particular face in the crowd the way they always do, no matter how many times I've told them to stop. And since this was a crowd of only nine, he was way too easy to find.
Unfortunately, right at that moment Matt McKinney was looking back at me, and our eyes met for just that one split second, and even though I instantly looked away, it was too late. I had to see that subtle little smirk of his, and it made me wish more than anything I had something sharp and heavy to throw at his head.
"Here are therules," Mr. Fizer said.
As if he needed to tell us. Every one of us understood the deal long before today--Fizer's Special Topics in Research Science class is legendary, not the least because every few years someone has to run out of there on the first day and vomit because of the stress.
I had a light lunch.
"When I call your name," Mr. Fizer said, "you will come up, close your eyes, and choose a picture. You will then have one hour in which to devise your topic. You may not use the Internet or any other resources. You may not discuss it with your classmates. You will have only your own creativity to rely upon.
"We do it this way," he continued, "because true scientific progress comes through innovative thinking, not merely reciting what other scientists have taught us. Albert Einstein believed that imagination is more important than knowledge, and I agree. We must always push ourselves to discover more. Understood?"
No one bothered answering. We were all too busy staring at the folder he'd just opened on his desk, revealing this year's Stack.
The Stack. It's your whole future resting on a pick of the cards. Only in Mr. Fizer's case, the deck of cards is actually a stack of pictures he's gathered throughout the year--pages torn out of magazines like National Geographic and Nature and Science.
If you luck out, you can end up with a picture that applies to a field you're already interested in--like for me, insects and their co-evolution with plants. It's what I spent the whole summer helping -research in one of the biology labs at the university. I figured if I ended up with a picture even remotely dealing with either plants or bugs, I'd be able to use everything I just learned about fig wasps.
On the other hand, you can also end up with something completely outside your subject field, which is why people like George Garmine had to flee the room last year to puke.
Because if you bomb, you might as well plan a career as a drone in some laboratory at some obscure college in a town nobody's heard of, because you're never going to get the premium offers. But if you do well--I mean really well--you can not only get Mr. Fizer's recommendation for college applications, but you might also win your category at the science fair and then go on to internationals. Some of Mr. Fizer's students have done just that. And then you have a great shot at winning scholarships and impressing college recruiters, so that even people like me can end up at places like MIT or Duke or Harvard or wherever. So yeah, it's a big deal.
We all just wanted to get on with it already, but Mr. Fizer still had one more rule to tell us about.
"This is not a time for teamwork," he said. "This is a competition. This is your chance to show bold thinking and a true commitment to your science. For the next seven months you will work independently and in secret. I am the only person you will share any details with until it is time to reveal your project at the science fair in March. Is that clear? Good. Miss Chang, we will begin with you."
Lindsay wiped her palms against her pants and walked so slowly to the front of the room it was like she'd just been told to come up there and drink poison. She stood in front of Mr. Fizer's desk, did the palm swipe one more time, then reached into the Stack.
You could tell Mr. Fizer was watching to make sure she kept her eyes closed. Lindsay pulled out a picture, pressed it against her chest, and went back to her seat without even looking at what she'd chosen. That seemed like a good strategy--no point in freaking out in front of everyone if it turned out to be really bad.
Next he called up Farah, Alexandra, Margo, and Nick. Then me.
I eased between the lab tables and walked to the front, and that's when I started to think about my butt. And about how Matt McKinney was no doubt looking at it right at that moment and noticing how much larger it was than the last time he saw it. Seven more pounds over the summer, thank you very much. When you're working in a lab as intense as the one where I was, all you really have time for every day is the vending machines and the Dairy Queen on the corner. Everyone at that lab was a pudgeball.
So I stood in front of Mr. Fizer's desk, my hand shaking, thinking about my future and how it was about to change, but really thinking more about my thighs and gigabutt and trying to pull my shirt down a little lower to cover them, and finally I closed my eyes and reached into the Stack. That's when I heard Matt clear his throat, which sounded like he was suppressing a laugh, and my hand jerked from where it was, and I suppose that makes it fate that I chose the picture I did.
I couldn't look. I clutched the paper against my chest and went back to my seat and did my best to control my breathing.

This book was very inspiring to me. As a teenager, we as girls always feel insecure about our looks. But if we pay more attention to who we are and do what we feel is better for us as people, we will be better off. This novel teaches us that its not always the popular girl who gets the guy.
I think we are all guilty of liking quick and easy to read chick-lit books. At first I thought "Fat Cat" was going to be another sappy teenage love story. But I was definitely wrong. Robin Brande writes not only about the drama that teenagers face on a daily basis, but also incorporates a lot of different themes. The whole story is surrounded by this one science project that Catherine Locke (aka Kit Cat or Cat) is working on to beat her ex-best friend Matt McKinney. What starts out as a project for bragging rights, turns into a 207 day transformation. She becomes prehistoric (with minor changes) to "show the impact of environmental, nutritional, behavioral, and technological aspects of different lifestyles" (Brande321) to prove how unhealthy people are these days. Herself included. Cat looses weight and feels her body becoming healthier. With the help of her two best friends, her self esteem increases along with all the drama that comes with it. Her entire world starts changing and finally makes her confront her worst fear: Talking and reconnecting with Matt. I like the way this book is written because the characters are well developed. Every single character makes some sort of transformation even if it is a small one. Like, her best friend Amanda becomes more patient and starts looking at situations in others perspectives. I like that the ending is still sweet and leaves you happy but at the same time isn't perfect. It still has the disappointments teenagers' face, so it is realistic. Aside from the information Brande gives about living a healthy lifestyle, this book also gives the reader little lessons. Not the revelation kind, but ones that make you rethink how you act with people or even live your daily life. For example one of the many quotes is, "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler" (314). Not only did this line prove Cat's science project but it also showed that people over analyze everything. We make our lives too complicated for our own good. We should keep things simple but never lower our abilities. At least that is what I took from it. Over all I really liked the book and would recommend it to any teenage girl. It's really relatable even if you are nothing like Cat. It's also one of those books that you can't put down. Not because of suspense, but because you become attached to the story and the characters. This book is like when you're watching a movie and you yell at your television when a character does something you don't like. In my eyes, if a book can make you do that, the author must be doing something right.
The people that havent read this book really need to read this amazing book. YOU WILL SEE HOW GREAT OF A BOOK THIS IS IF YOU WILL JUST READ IT. The people that rate this under 5 stars dont know what they are talking about!!!!!
Addicting, great plot, I would recommend it to a teenage girl
What is with all the weird names like Firestorm? Anyway, loved the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice book people should read this book*:)
this is an awesome stroy about a girl whos science project makes her hot and about her forgiving a person along the way i absoulty recommed it
I really loved it it was suxh a grat love/weight lose story it definatly a must read
I LOVED this book
It was amazing and cute
LITERALLY the best book ive ever read.
This book was definitly a great read it adresses all the problems a girl faces: being self-concious, worrying about guys, balancing her life with her work. Cat is inspirational seeing her do and accomplish what she wants to do makes you want to make a change in your life too. Read it. You will love it.
Good book i recomend everyone read and try doin what cat did in seven months im starting to day
i loved this book. it was really inspirational, and made me want to b on a diet like hers to lose a few pounds, and also, now i want to do something about those friendships tht fell apart. this book was veeery inspirational :).
i did not like how the story played out.
For her science experiment Catherine "Cat," goes on a diet like that of the cave people thanks to a picture she chose. Through seven months, Cat notices changes not only from losing weight but herself, all the while angry at her former best friend Matt because of what she and Amanda had heard when they were kids. This book was really great and surprised me at times. I kept thinking why couldn't Cat just confront Matt and even Cat mentioned this. Plus in most books I read the siblings seem to hate one another or act like enemies or something. In this book however, it was a relief to find that Cat and Peter acted like siblings, you know? It was a nice change of pace, is all I'm saying. Liked how Cat kept with the diet and saw it through.
I really liked this book and it's a good book for anyone to relate to. This book inspired me to just do something because Cat is so determined to get an A on her science project while at the same time trying to lose weight through the project. Really inspiring and highly recomended!!!
A couple of years ago she overheard the person (who she thought was her best friend)say something that she never forget (dont want to give it away!) To get back at him she decides taht she is gunna whip his ass in the science competition. Her pledge: To find out what this new era of junk food and technology has dont to our bodies. She plans to accomplish this by using minimal technology and eating purely completley and absoloutly Natural! With her new but amazing best friend by her side, who knows how it could turn out!? I HEART YOU ROBIN BRANDE!
Catherine Locke has hated Matt McKinney ever since she overheard him say something mean about her at the seventh grade science fair. Before that fateful day, they were best friends. Now, she just wants to win this year's science fair. Science fair participation is a requisite for Mr. Fizer's Special Topics in Research Science class. The only problem is her project will depend on what picture she pulls from his stack. Mr. Fizer creates a folder with various pictures taken from magazines, and the students have to create a project around that picture. It could literally be anything and the students can't look when they pull a picture. Cat sees Matt actually smile when he looks at his selection. So when she pulls a picture of early hominis (think Neanderthals) surrounding a dead animal, she is devastated. How can she make THAT into a first place science project? Cat started plumping up in middle school. She used to love swimming, and the exercise kept her metabolism in check. But that one fateful summer, it seemed like her body took on a life of its own. Thankfully her best friend, Amanda, loves her just the way she is. So when Cat gets the idea to see how living like the early hominis would affect her, Amanda embraces the idea with her and supports her endeavor. Her parents, though not as quick to approve, finally agree, with the stipulation that Cat talks to the dietician at the hospital her mom works at, to ensure proper nutrition. This begins Cat's year-long journey of giving up modern technology, walking everywhere (though there were some safety exceptions included), and eating only what the early ancestors would have been able to produce. What Cat doesn't expect is how her body, and ultimately her own self-perception, changes during her scientific experiment. As the new Cat emerges, she finds the courage to finally confront Matt about the day that changed her life so long ago. FAT CAT is a fantastic book! I can't say enough about it Told in a sort of journal format, Cat shares her life as her science project progresses. The reader gets to feel her frustration, desperation, despair, uncertainty, and ultimately relief as she learns to accept herself for who she is. She realizes that she has used Matt as her reason for self-loathing, when it may have been far deeper than that. FAT CAT moved quickly, and as the pounds start to fall off Cat, you won't want to put the book down. One thing that really worked in the story is that not once does Ms. Brande reveal Cat's starting weight, nor what she wound up losing. The reader gets to experience the wonder of discovery with Cat and watch her blossom with her newfound confidence. Follow Cat on her science experiment and enjoy the ride. You won't be disappointed. I know I wasn't!
What a great book. I loved the premise - overweight girl takes a project to the extreme by changing her lifestyle to that of our distant ancestors, cutting out processed food and modern conveniences. Not only does Cat overhaul her eating, but she overhauls herself, digging deep and finding the real girl inside. This was a different take on the regular girl makeover story - one that felt real and authentic and not based purely on looks.
Fat Cat is Robin Brande's 2nd novel that I have read. the first being Evolution, Me and other freaks of nature. I absolutely loved Evolution, and I knew I would like Fat Cat as well. Fat Cat had well developed characters, good writing, and was an overall good book. Cat started out as a smart, fat, and shy girl with no boyfriend at all. She was always the third wheel. Then she starts this obsessive diet plan for a project and gets people to start noticing her. The story follows Cat over the course of half a school year as she goes through her struggles with this project. This was a good concept because most books only take place for a month or two, not a long journey where you jump into their lives at different times every chapter. Robin's style of using foreshadowing in her writing makes this book even better. While I like Evolution, me and other freaks of nature a tiny bit better, Fat Cat was still a really good book that I would'nt mind reading again and again and again...
such an amazing book :D...plotline is something u dont always read...i soooooooo love it, higly recomend it to anybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :DDDDDLOVE IT!!!that's all i can say!
God, people! Fat girl does experiment on herself, turns thin, gets guys. What does that say? Fat people will never find love? Your life will not be truly complete unless your thin? If that was true, we Americans should've died out already! -TheSociopathicSocialistHereticChild

I'm trying to get the widget to show up in French and can't figure out how. I have WordPress installed in French.
Can you include a how-to in the instructions or FAQ? Or am I just missing something really obvious here?

Looks like I did something that broke translation (not sure which revision that happened in). Anyhow, committing another version that should fix it for you. Just upgrade when it's available and it should just work.
Thank you for letting me know!
Did that upgrade fix your issue?
Should the widget just automatically show up in French if I have WordPress set up in French, or do I have to place the .mo file somewhere?
Everything is still in English...
Thanks for your help!
What version of the plugin are you using?
Nevermind -- it's in French now! Thanks so much!
No problem!
Enjoy :)
Btw, I see that someone's saying it's not working for them, but I don't have any outstanding tickets... Is the plugin working correctly for you now?
Yes and no. All of the plugin instructions had been translated, but when I dragged the widget into my sidebar to set it up, the success message, error message, sign up button, etc...were in English. It didn't matter to me because those are editable (which is a great feature of the plugin, right away, thanks) and I planned to customize them anyway, but if someone wanted the pre-translated versions, I could see how it might cause a problem.
Let me know if that makes sense. Cheers
Hi no3mie,
Definitely makes sense... I didn't localize those previously for the reason you cited, but maybe I should make it possible to localize the default values as well. If I do, would you be interested in providing the French translations?
Sure -- I can provide the French translations. I think I saw that stuff already translated in the .po file, but if you need another look-over or different translations, I'd be happy to provide. I do think some things sounded a tad off to me, and that may just be because of the small variations between Québécois French and French from France. So I can do the latter. Just let me know what to do -- edit the po file?
Hello, I translated MailChimp Widget in to Russian. How can I commit it?
Hi klipach,
You can't... but if you email me your translations, I'll add them and add your name to the thank-yous. :)
Where can I find your email?
It's james at nearlysensical dot com.
James, I sent you the updated French translation. Sent it directly to the email you shared above.
i'm still having problem with translations. I have managed to translate all the fields of the form, but i'm not able to translate all the messages (Thank you for subscribing ..., etc.) show always in english, even though i have translation for them in my po & mo files.
if anyone can help will be greatly appreaciated. thanks a lot

Though Walsall College's history goes back almost 60 years, most of the college's facilities and buildings are brand new. The building of the Wisemore campus in 2009 was the first part in a regeneration programme which also brought a Tesco superstore and an Innovation Centre to the town centre. Over 3500 students and 4000 adults study at the institution.
Courses & Teaching
All Walsall's courses are vocational, with each programme endorsed by a panel of industry experts to ensure that they meet the demands of the higher skilled workforce. The institution offers a BSc (Honours) Business and Enterprise top-up, as well as a range of diploma and professional qualifications in areas such as Business, Design, Education, Health & Social Care, Construction and Management.
Studying a Higher Education course at Walsall College costs significantly less than studying the same level at university, with HNC/D courses costing £3,950 (course fees may vary subject to course type)
Student Life
Though Walsall is only a ten minute train ride from the large cosmopolitan hub of Birmingham and closer to the student-packed town of Wolverhapton, Walsall retains an individual identity as a historic black country town.
Birmingham is the destination for students looking for large clubs and trendy bars but Walsall is well-equipped with its own range of drinking holes.
Students are eligible for an NUS Extra discount card and a student president ensures that student's opinions are expressed to the management of the college.
Two sites – Green Lane and Wisemore campuses – are located within a few minutes walk of each other in central Walsall.
None provided but the college's accommodation officer can help find students a place to stay. Depending on location students can find a room in a shared house for approximately £40 per week
The stunning new main building opened in 2012 means students have the opportunity to be amongst the first to use the modern facilities.
Student sports teams train and play games regularly. There is also a large gym, cardio equipment and an aerobics studio for students to use.
Local bus: Walsall Council has details of bus routes and timetables on their website.
Train: Both college sites are only a few minutes walk from Walsall station which is connected to Birmingham and Wolverhampton. See National Rail for train times and more details.

Photo ops for politicians are as old as well ... cameras.
With the frantic sound of media photographers and journalists moving through tight spaces like a herd of cattle, a political candidate's photo op is usually fleeting and either reinforces a message or provides fodder for pundits and the opposition.
Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan created a stir and national attention after he and his family dropped by the St. Vincent DePaul Society Dining Hall on Saturday.
The visit came after his town-hall meeting at Youngstown State University.
Brian J. Antal, president of Mahoning County's St. Vincent DePaul Society, contacted The Vindicator and The Washington Post on Monday telling them he was "shocked" and "angry" that Ryan used the soup kitchen for a "publicity stunt."
The society is nonpartisan, and Antal said that during election season, he wouldn't permit any elected official inside the hall for a political "photo op."
Antal is a registered Democrat, but said this issue has nothing to do with politics.
If he is elected vice president, Ryan would be welcomed to volunteer at the dining hall as long as it's not during a campaign and without turning it into a media event, Antal said.
"I didn't want to make this a negative on the guy," Antal said of Ryan. "I'm not here to blast anybody. We have no [political] affiliation with anyone."
Juanita Sherba, St. Vincent's Saturday coordinator for the dining hall, gave the Ryan campaign permission to have the candidate and his family come to the downtown location.
She said it was a mistake.
The event was staged by the campaign, including having volunteers not clean a few pots and pans so Ryan and his family could be photographed doing that work, Sherba said.
"It was the phoniest piece of baloney I've ever been associated with," said Sherba, a supporter of President Barack Obama, a Democrat, who said political affiliation had nothing to do with the issue.
The biggest political photo-op disasters are usually the fault of staff members, said David All, a Washington, D.C.-based communication strategist, who worked on the Ohio political campaigns of former President George W. Bush and retired U.S. Sen. George V. Voinovich.
All has ties to the Mahoning Valley as he was the 2002 campaign manager for Ann Womer Benjamin, who lost the 17th Congressional District race that year to Tim Ryan.
"Staff members want control and to make an event perfect," All said. "They are really tightly wound. They lose their head and it ends up being a disaster."
A good photo op is "more about communicating rather than creating a fictitious event. If it doesn't work, let the politicians roll with it," he said. "Sometimes they're great moments because they're out of the ordinary."
William Binning, professor emeritus of political science at Youngstown State University, said a successful photo op is one with a backdrop that supports a candidate's message.
"What we found in the Valley over the years is candidates of both parties come in, and if they were criticizing the other side, they would try to find an empty steel mill," he said. "If they were promoting high tech, the [Youngstown Business] incubator was probably the most well-known photo op."
This wasn't the first time the Valley has been the location of a breakdown in communication that caused some embarrassment and unwanted national media attention for high-profile politicians.
In July, The Vindicator reported that the Poland man who introduced Obama at a rally at Dobbins Elementary School was found by a judge to have improperly taken "trade secrets" from a previous employer and owes $515,218 to that company.
In 2004, Bush, a Republican, and Democrat John Kerry, who lost that year's presidential election, each had embarrassing moments in the area.
Bush had an invitation-only event at YSU on May 25, 2004, to discuss the importance of community health care centers, and how "junk and frivolous" malpractice lawsuits were driving doctors out of business.
Sharing the stage with the president was Dr. Compton Girdharry of Alliance. Bush said malpractice insurance forced the doctor out of his private practice.
But The New York Times reported a few weeks later that Girdharry had settled lawsuits and agreed to the payment of damages in malpractice suits in which patients suffered terrible injuries.
Not to be outdone, Kerry attracted national attention when The Vindicator wrote about his Canada goose-hunting trip in Springfield Township on Oct. 21, 2004, to show he was a sportsman.
Kerry pointed his loaded shotgun in the direction of a person nearby, and didn't wear safety glasses or ear plugs, standard items when hunting geese.
Kerry wouldn't carry any of the four geese killed in the hunt, making an off-the-cuff remark that "it was too heavy and I was too lazy."
Kerry's staff gave incorrect information about the gun he used and the name of the hunting dog.
The event came across as a staged event, which it was.
Mahoning County chairmen of both political parties agree that photo ops are a staple of campaign culture, but drew drastically different conclusions about the impact of Ryan's soup kitchen photo op.
"A photo op is an opportunity for the media, and by extension voters, to visualize what a candidate" is about, said David Betras, the Democratic chairman.
For a photo op to be successful, it has to be sincere, and Ryan's was not, Betras said.
Republican Chairman Mark Munroe said photo ops have a long tradition because politicians have limited time and tight schedules.
Candidates "look for opportunities to interact with voters and present themselves in the best light. There's nothing wrong or unusual about that, but what's happened in Youngstown has been blown so far out of proportion," Munroe said.
He added, "It's fair to say that the lifetime of a photo-op story is typically pretty short."
Washing a pot and a pan is STILL more work than Obama has EVER done in his life. Many people working at McDonald's have a longer resume than comrade Obama. O wait, I digress, he was a community organizer... whatever that is. At least Ryan and Romney both know the meaning of work and accumolating their OWN wealth, not stealing it in the name of redistribution.
Mr Antal failed to adequately let those in charge known of the photo-op policy.
This exemplies poor communication and management on his part; he should be replaced immediately.
The story here is Brian Antal abusing his management position at a non-profit soup kitchen to score political points and massage his ego.
If the Board of Directors of St Vincent had any ethics they would relieve Mr Antal of his position. Brian, together with Dave Betras, could then play their juvenile political games.
The right thing to do would be for Mr. Antal to give the Republican party back their money that they donated, so that everyone knows he means business when it comes to politics and charity.
Mr. Antal everyone knows that you are lying when you say that you were not trying to make this a negative on this guy and that you were not trying to make it political. The democrats that support you still know you were lying they just support your political view. The Republicans know you are a liar, but they don't support your politics. I have already found new organizations to donate to that help the poor. I will no longer donate to St Vincent dePaul until you are gone. You really should resign for the good of the organization.
I contacted 2 people that volunteer down there and they said the problem is definitely Mr. Antal. He does not interact with the volunteers and is extremely condescending. They say morale has been low since he took over. And these are all volunteers.
All this outrage and no one mentions Ryan's people asking for some dirty dishes to be lft for the congressman and his family.
Brand new day - same old bull crap! Please send this on to any Dems you know and ask them, "How can you keep buying into this???"

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.
Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."
So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"
So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"
So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?"
So they created two positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer then hired two people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"
So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back."
So they laid-off the night watchman.
NOW slowly, let it sink in.
Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter. Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY during the Carter administration?

Bottom line is, we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency, the reason for which very few people who read this can remember!

Hello, my fellow American voters!
I watched the Oct. 3rd and Oct. 16th presidential and Oct. 11th vice-presidential debates.
1st Romney-Obama debate covered 7 topics: jobs; budget deficit/debt; social security/entitlements; federal regulation of economy; healthcare; federal government role in economy; partisan gridlock.
2nd Romney-Obama debate covered 11 topics: college graduate jobs; gas prices; taxes; equal pay; Bush policies; Obama's record; illegal immigrants; Libya; assault weapons; jobs; candidate misperceptions.
Ryan-Biden debate covered 10 topics: Libya; Iran; economy; medicare/social security/entitlements; taxes/tax reform/spending/budget cuts; military policy; Afghanistan; Syria; abortion; negative campaign tactics.
As an INDEPENDENT female feminist (egalitarian) voter, I support the Romney/Ryan ticket.
Romney and Ryan won all three debates, although Obama improved some in the 2nd debate.
Ryan won despite Biden's consistently rude/disrespectful behavior during the debate
(Biden interrupted Ryan often, laughed often while Ryan was talking, pointed his finger often).
Biden's tactics to evade issues/truth were disrespectful to Americans interested in facts, figures, forecasts, and solutions for real people with real problems.
Romney and Ryan won with substance, directness, integrity, respect, clarity, facts, commitment, inspiration, and leadership.
These debates confirm that Romney and Ryan are the best persons in terms of qualifications and character to lead our country to solve problems and make life better for all Americans.
I am inspired by Romney/Ryan, and I hope that you are too!
Best regards,
Cas Lee

The Vogels are so awesome.
Ditto. I wish the 60 Minutes feature on them, made after they promised most of their collection to the National Gallery, was online.
Congrats to SAM, this stuff will really complement their Anne Gerber collection holdings.
Sol LeWitt does zip for me.
You need to ask him more nicely.
The Vogels are indeed great. Cute, too. And they made their money the old fashioned way- by working, not inheriting it, or even making a product I can curse at when I use my computer.
Although they did tend to bargain hard, they actually bought work from artists, in artists studios, almost every time. No art consultant visiting Mary Boone for them.
They bought cheap, trusted their own taste, and bought against the prevailing conventional wisdom, while working as a mailman and a teacher.
How far can you get from the Art Basel, Eurotrash, Jetset Mindset?
In response to Max Solomon:
Please let their be a wall drawing in SAM's future.

I am trying to deploy a Silverlight app to iis on a Win 2003 server. I add the mime type for silverlight to iis ( .xap, application/x-silverlight-app ) and then restart the app pool, and the app downoads and runs.
However, running an iisreset or restaring the machine blows away the mime entry. Why does this happen?

So, I have an element that has some "pre-existing" behavior attached to it. So, I found that just moving it (as required by some new requirements) retains the existing behaviors = good. But the issue is, when I move the element I need to give it "new styles".
So, if I have something like this:

Now, that has pre-existing styles attached to both. I can rearrange these styles etc.. but I can't change them. The styles are attached to the "id's" rather than a class definition. I believe I can change that if needed.
Now, I need to move "legacyElement" when certain things happen to a "new div". I just

Unfortunetly, the styles I have on newStructure don't seem to be applying to *legacyElement" when it gets moved here dynamically.
I was thinking of moving all the styles to a class rather than associated to the ids, and when I move it.. I just jQuery().addClass / jQuery().removeClass etc...
Is there a better/easier more robust way that I can just have the legacyElement loose its styles when it sits under existingStructure and then get new ones when moved to "newStructure" etc.. and vice versa. That element "legacyElement" will be pinging back and forth.. so, I need it to have the styles under each parent div as it goes there.
so when an action happens on page, I move it back:
If I am not succinct enough, please let me know.
The EXISTING styles are in an external CSS file and are like so..
#existingStructure {
// bunch of css
#existingStructure .item1 input[type="text"] {
// bunch of css
// bunch of css
and new styles are sorta the same except 'additional styles' might be applied.
#newStructure {
// bunch of css
#newStructure .item1 input[type="text"] {
// bunch of css

Raw Milk Rocks!Raw Milk at Home
My family and I have been drinking raw milk for over 15 years. I drank it when I was pregnant and my children drink it every day. They are all a healthy weight for their ages, yet it's no surprise that they are quite a bit heavier (not visually .. you notice when you pick them up!) than children of the same age, size and height due to the heaviness of their bones. Raw milk builds dense bones in children, folks. No osteoporosis, cavities, or broken bones in their future (barring getting hit by the proverbial bus)!

Hi! I'm still breastfeeding my 10 month old but we have introduced whole foods. I make yogurt (whole fat from raw milk) at home. I was wondering when I can start giving it to my daughter? I wasn't planning on giving her milk to drink until she was 12 months old, and to be honest, some of the fear mongering websites have gotten me a little freaked out…

Our taxes should be used to regulate the sale of raw milk not restrict it!
hi Sarah, I`m from Quito-Ecuador. I´m trying to switch from a macrobiotic diet to a traditional one. I want to know how you use de raw milk as you dont boil it. In Ecuador raw milk has always been boiled and then trasferred to refrigerator. Please explain to me. The only idea that comes to my mind is making yogurt with raw milk. Thank a lot for your blog.
I had many failed attempts at getting low temp. pasteurized and/or non-homogenized milk from health food stores. It came down to me only being able to get Organic Valley milk for 10.00 a gallon. I am happy to say that I finally found a local source for raw milk for 8.75 a gallon and have been drinking it for 2 weeks now. I feel so much better knowing where my milk comes from. The first time my 2 year old tasted it, she chugged it. She obviously tastes a difference and so do the rest of us!
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Your child will thank you one day for your persistence at sourcing a quality raw milk for her to drink, Sarah. Bravo to you!
Great blog, I couldn't agree more! Thanks for posting.
The Forbes article is super exciting! Slowly, but surely people are catching on!

Hello, this is my first post and I've done countless searches so please bear with me; I'm kind of new to this.
I've done every applicable thing in this sticky post and I'm still experiencing issues with upload/insert media.
Here is a screenshot (tiny url link) of what I'm seeing in the visual editor. As you can see, the icons are not visible, however the links for said icons are working. The icons are in my directory. Everything shows up fine in my code. When I click the empty space where the icon should be, a blank, white pop-up window appears. It seems many people are having this problem, but most are able to fix it; I am not.
This only happens in Firefox (3.0.5). Upload/insert runs normal when tested in Safari (3.2.1). I am running Mac OS X 10.5.5 and have Flash 9 (9,0,45,0).
I don't have any uppercase characters in my URL or any directory on my server; and everything looks as it should in my Settings.
I've completely deleted wp-admin and wp-includes folders, downloaded them from wordpress, and uploaded them to my server. Still having problems.
Any new tips would be most appreciated; I don't want to use Safari every time I create a new post that includes media.

Watch and you will see what I have been saying when it gets to that price quickly. based on cash, mergers, and aquisitions like I showed first here today before AP did.
After today, I currently own 477 long PFE LEAPS options of which 450 are writeable and 27 are in my IRA and don't have writing privileges.
I'm in far better position today for a stock price rise and if and when Pfizer does go up, my account valuation will be reflecting it to a far greater extent than has been the case the last several weeks when the stock got away from me on the upside and additional stock market advances weren't doing me the good they should have.
Correcting a TYPO:
With my current 290K of Pfizer holdings, I OWNED 499 long options....

Problem, for him or anyone following him with their money, is- he won't or can't imagine that.
So, he has not fully evaluated his true risk.
Even though he experienced in a painfull way when he was leveraged 6:1 and your counsel to him the same. He somehow thinks he is 'better off' now 'ONLY' being leveraged 3:1.
Hopefully anyone contemplating following his lead will also consider your view and knowledge on this type of 'investing'.
Good posts on this topic and you have been making them for months and months if not longer.
Pfizer had a strange year of 2008. It plunged from over $24 in January to the low 17's in June before the market bore the brunt of the crash. But when the crash came, Pfizer on balance held its ground. While other stocks on balance were losing 40%, PFE managed to close the year at $17.71 which made it the seventh-BEST Dow stock that year including dividends.
Kindler delivered the message on Analysts Day, March 5, 2008, that the company likely wouldn't be making a major acquisition. Analysts didn't like hearing that at all and began really worrying about the company's ability to continue paying its lofty dividend once Lipitor expired. So Pfizer's stock went down much earlier than most other equities. PFE in fact largely traced what the troubled high-dividend financials like BAC were doing at the time.
So while for others their worst losses came between mid-September 2008 and the end of the year, for me a lot of the losses came between March and June of 2008 and then again of course in early 2009 as the market fell to its crash lows in March.
I never saw you on the T board during the brief time in 2004 that I was on my fact-finding mission regarding the old-timer's bigotry. You were too busy infesting the Tyco board.
I come from a line of long-lived people with my mother living beyond her 91st birthday, her sister living to 89, a great-aunt who was 95, my dad who was 86 and a great-grandmother who was a centenarian. I have nothing against old people - just old FOOLS like you-know-who.
When my great-aunt was up in years, she was in a nursing home not bothering anyone. Certainly not cluttering up a serious investment message board with drivel and bigotry.
<<Of course those new aggressive plays really cost me when the subprime slime and then the once-in-a-lifetime crash ensued a few months later.
Boy for a guy who likes to post 'in real time', you sure like to rewrite history, don't you?
Meaning, you lost your a$$ in spades by June 2008 and later (now) rationalize it by the once in a life time crash, which happened subsequently.
Your losing money in the market is a habit of at least 45 years. Your rationalizing as to why is also a habit.
'Anybody's fault but your own'.
You rant and spew and have been that: 'if' this happens and 'if' that happens and 'if and that' happen that you will be 'rich'!!
And call that a superior method. Yes yes yes yes, chartness, we could all come up with a 'superior' method similar to that...

"Grandour and pomp fitting Gran Colombia" Bogotá by Assenczo
Bogotá Travel Guide: 665 reviews and 1,552 photos
Just as other times when traveling through the ex colonies of Spain in the new world, traveling in Colombia and Ecuador brings up the questions of nation building and how it came about. It is more than obvious that the modern states of Latin America follow the administrative divisions of the Spanish Empire and as a result it is difficult to comprehend what turns them into different ?nationalities?. The favourite trick is to highjack the symbols and traditions of the locals but this is rather pathetic attempt since the indigenous people are universally despised and by default kept in the lowest strata of society everywhere except in Bolivia.
When comparing Colombia and Ecuador, it is intriguing to observe that the size and grandeur of the Spanish administrative division was passed over to the new republics. Consequently, the government buildings complex in the respective old towns is completely different in character. While the captaincy of Ecuador was of lower stature and had smaller budgets at hand, the viceroyalty of Nueva Granada, the future Colombia was full of powerful people ready to exhibit their might. So, as a result, today we witness the quaint but modest old town of Quito and the grand and opulent albeit worn out central Bogota.
- Pros:Gold or hides its all there for you to enjoy
- Cons:Weather suggests it is an island not a continent
- In a nutshell:A cosmos of Latin living

Charles, what have you done with the rest of the Stranger staff?
all charles all day!
This is what happens when your tax base relies on property taxes.
He's actually proposing a 10% cut to all budgets, if I read correctly, which isn't a terrible idea overall.
No Bellevue Ave, this is what happens when your tax base does not rely as much on property taxes. After Prop 13 neutered property taxes, California has become increasingly more reliant on income and sales taxes, which seem to fluctuate a lot more in times of boom or bust.
perhaps you're right, but it seems to be that you could attribute much of the shortfall in revenue to the complete lack of property tax income expected due to foreclosure, declining home prices, etc. in California. The new home buyers were going to pay a lot more in property taxes even with prop 13.
Shouldn't Charles be outside with those guys who push the Communist Party on Broadway and Olive way right now?
If you look at the revenue chart here http://www.dof.ca.gov/HTML/FS_DATA/STAT-ABS/documents/M10.pdf, it's amazing to see a 3 fold increase in personal income tax rev and a doubling in the increase in revenue for state sales tax over 13 years
The total revenue for the state almost doubled in 13 years.
I have to think that a lot of people's income taxes got inflated off of the real estate bubble too.
#5 is correct... California has very low property taxes all things considered... unless that was your point.
Remember when Schwarzenegger had Warren Buffett as his economic adviser, and the first words out of his mouth were "fix the property tax, I pay a tenth as much for my Malibu waterfront home as I do for my house in Nebraska, it's criminal" and he was immediately fired? Prop 13 is destroying California.

BUDAPEST -- Billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros said on Friday China will be the biggest winner of the global financial crisis while the United States stands to lose the most.
"There will be significant changes in the relative positions of other countries as well but from a global perspective, the one between the United States and China is the most significant," Soros told a lecture. "China is likely to emerge as the big winner.
Soros added the U.S. banking system has to earn its way out of a hole while in commercial real estate and leverage buyouts, the "bloodletting is yet to come."

my mother was in an accident and was charged with a dui.
no injures, but its her second one in 5 months..and was on probation with no license.
served 3 days in jail and was out on bail..
how much time do you think she will get?
DUI / DWI Attorney
Better to consult an experienced DUI attorney in the area where your mother was arrested for the new DUI. Each county is different and the facts matter.
DUI / DWI Attorney
As a former District Attorney (in Tulare county) and former City Attorney I can tell you these are the cases a prosecutor pounces on because they will likely win at a probation revocation hearing.
It depends on the facts and the judge.... but the state has a lot of time hanging over you.
Find the best DUI lawyer you can to really look at the facts to see if there is a viable defense.
It is key that you hire the best locally experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you that you can afford. You should obtain a free consultation as soon as possible. Good luck.
Law Offices of Mark Deniz
1010 2nd Avenue, Suite 2307, San Diego, California 92101 (858) 751-4384
DUI / DWI Attorney
Consult with a DUI attorney in your area my suggestion is to get your
mother interstate licensed rehabilitation facility or get her on scram
alcohol monitoring immediately to try and reduce the time but you may spend
in custody. If it is her third DUI 120 days mandatory minimum custody is
required but it may be done in an alternative to Custody
So if she enrolls in some classes it will help with her sentencing?
Everything that she can do to help her with what appears to me to be an alcohol problem will be taking into consideration by the court however I strongly suggest what I had stated before
Thank you for your time.
Criminal Defense Attorney
I agree with the other attorneys. DUIs can involve some very complicated and scientific defenses... They're not nearly as clear cut as most people believe them to be. If you or your mother or able to, you should consult with a criminal defense attorney ASAP so that someone can begin developing the strategy/defense for her case.
