Inch Island a small island of about five square miles, lies just off the Donegal coast at Burt at the start of the Inishowen peninsula and is accessed by a causeway road.
It is a quite place with beautiful scenery: from the Burt side looking to the ancient fort of Grianan Aileach high on the hill above Burt, to views across the Swilly and views to the mariana at Fahan and Inishowen's main town, Buncrana.
The island is a wildfowl sanctuary and has large man-made lake filled with swans, geese and many other species of bird (see below).
There are the ruins of an old castle on the island which was once the property of the O'Doherty Clan of Inishowen. The castle is built on a cliff edge overlooking the Swilly and dates from about the mid 15th century and although it is mostly ruins there are parts of it still in good repair. (The castle is on private property and permission to walk to it must be given prior to trying to get close to it).
There are many species of bird to be sighted on Inch Island. The man-made lake, Inch Lake, is a fresh water lake using water run off from the dykes draining the surrounding lands of the Big Isle. The lake has a large population of swans including Mute Swans, Bewick Swans and Whooper Swans, Mute Swans being the most prevelant.
On the lake too there are plenty of other water birds including coots, ducks, gulls, geese (Barnacle, Brent, Canada, Greylag, Pink Footed and White Front), Grasshopper Warbler, Sedge Warbler, and Reed Bunting.
Along the waterways or dykes there are two hides for "tweeters" to use to see some of the many species of bird there including Kingfishers. There is also the chance to see an otter or two.
Other species of bird seen on Inch Island include Bar Tailed, Curlew, Knot and Redshank.
There is car parking beside the waterways and this area is also used for people taking scenic walks along one of the two walk-ways there.

She posted a picture of herself on Instagram, wearing a partially transparent black shirt. A fan commented, 'Sutham had huge hopes for you No more a dream girl.. Hoping it wont get any worse thou.'Priya hit back strongly. She replied, 'Thank you very much but I don’t want to be a dream girl to a man of such filthy judgments.
All the best, find another hopeful dream girl.'In response, the ‘fan’ replied, 'The true thing is we the loyal people u have those who support this image are the filthy one’s… This isn’t about being Orthodox it’s juz we care for you sadly you don’t see that.. Anyways you have your freedom (sic)'.
Priya explained her stance stating that this is definitely not a reply with head weight. 'Am just trying to resist people like you deciding how I should hold my values and culture! Am surprised how people are trying to save culture by zooming in and out my picture. A little piece of semi-transparent cloth has taken a toll on this culture.

The Canadian Jewish community traces its history back to 1760. That year Aaron Hart, an English Jew, rode into Montreal with the triumphant British army of Sir Jeffrey Amherst. Upon leaving the army, Aaron Hart settled in Quebec and was followed by other Jews. Daring individual Jewish fur traders occasionally ventured into the Canadian interior. In 1878, the Coblentz brothers and their families migrated across the United States to St. Paul, Minnesota and then up the Red River to Winnipeg, the frontier metropolis of Manitoba. Subsequently, other Jewish families arrived from the United States. The Russian massacres of 1882 brought an inpouring of Russian Jews to Manitoba.
Among the 1882 pioneers were those who dreamt of becoming farmers in the new country. To a group of some forty families was given a grant of land by the Canadian government some 200 miles northwest of Winnipeg. But the group had had no previous farm experience. After a struggle with the soil for several years the project failed. Gradually the families returned to Winnipeg or emigrated south to the United States.
Later arrivals in the 1890s and 1900s also became homesteaders, and for a period of about twenty-five years there were a number of successful Jewish farm settlements in Manitoba and in the neighboring provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta. At one time there were some 800 Jewish families on farms. Eventually most of these families re-settled in larger Jewish communities including Calgary, Edmonton, Regina and Saskatoon, and the largest number in Winnipeg. Today there remain about one hundred Jewish families on farms of the Canadian prairie.
Winnipeg has the third largest Jewish community in the Dominion. Nine out of every ten Jews in the province live there. Several small synagogues with quarters in private homes were established beginning with 1885. The Shaarey Zedek Synagogue (1889) and the Rosh Pina Synagogue (1892) have flourished through the years and in recent times both have built modern houses of worship in new sections. Nine smaller synagogues are to be found in the older Jewish neighborhood.
Interior, Rosh Pina, built 1892.
To provide proper Jewish education for the young members of both congregations, the first Talmud Torah (vernacular school) was established in 1902. Today some 550 children attend the Hebrew day school and afternoon classes in a modern structure completed in 1952. The portion of the community favoring Yiddish-language schools established the Peretz and Jewish Folk Schools in 1913. Both merged into one thriving educational institution in the 1930s and today 600 youngsters are enrolled at the Peretz Folk School.
Today there are 19,000 Jews in Manitoba. Many have risen to high rank in government, journalism, commerce, and the fine arts. Culturally alert, the Jewish community supports three Anglo-Jewish newspapers, a new Young Men’s Hebrew Association (Y.M.H.A.), a Hillel Foundation and Chair of Judaic Studies at the University of Manitoba. Manitoba Jewry is pleased with its colorful past and looks forward to a productive future.
Attending Hebrew schools at Rosh Pina and Shaarey Zedek Synagogues are 650 students. The Winnipeg Jewish community is very proud of the fact that practically every Jewish child receives a Jewish education. To provide opportunity for advanced Jewish study, Maimonides College was established several years ago.
Jews have lived at one time or another in at least 118 of Manitoba’s towns and villages. In the main they have owned general stores and have been on friendly terms with the various groups including English, Scotch, Icelanders, Ukrainians, Dukhobors, Mennonites and French.

Although as soon as you hit the end of the first week it seems to speed by at an alarming rate. Still I'm not going to worry about that for now & instead just enjoy the moment & of course the sunshine.

A bike lock’s job is simple: prevent your ride from getting stolen. Being as burly as possible is the best way to accomplish that feat. But what if the lock could also alert you when someone started tampering with it? That’s one of several cool features built into the Ellipse Smart Bike Lock from Lattis.
The Ellipse looks a lot like a standard U-lock, but it has locking mechanisms on both sides of the U, meaning a thief must hack through both sides to get the lock to release. During that time, your phone alerts you that someone is trying to steal the bike. That’s because the Ellipse has a Bluetooth radio with a built-in signal booster, giving it a claimed range of 800 feet (though I’ll believe that when I test it). You won’t be able to secure the bike and go very far, but you should get a notification if someone messes with the lock while you’re in a nearby coffee shop, bar, or office.
You can also use the app to locate where you last locked the bike should you be the forgetful type. You can even use it to lend your bike to friends. Simply give them access to the Ellipse via the app. (They’ll need to install the app on their phone, too.) Because the lock contains a suite of accelerometers, it can also tell when you’ve crashed and automatically send text alerts with your GPS coordinates to selected family or friends—a nice little insurance policy.
To accomplish all this smart stuff, the lock has a built-in solar panel and battery. It takes just 12 hours of sunlight to give you roughly six months of usage. (Or you can charge via micro-USB if you’re short on sun.) You can set up the Ellipse to unlock when you tap it with your phone. If your phone dies, you can key in a pattern on the lock itself to open it.
I wish the Ellipse had an audible alarm to scare off would-be thieves, and Wi-Fi would give it more range than Bluetooth alone. But those additions would be a much bigger draw on the battery, so I understand the design choices.
The Ellipse debuted at CES last week and now retails for $200.

Hi all, it has been a while since I last posted. I’ve had to take a break after contracting Influenza and suffering from perforating my eardrum. So after nearly two weeks of bed rest, I am finally feeling like myself again. I’m still partially deaf and have constant ringing in my ear but it’s improving.
When I was in Europe I got some new colouring books! Every bookstore I came across I went straight to their Adult colouring sections to find something unique. Surprisingly I didn’t find any colouring books for the cities or countries I visited. I really didn’t see anything I hadn’t seen before but I didn’t come home empty-handed.
I received Vivi söker en vän, by Maria Trolle as a gift from a relative in Sweden. I was really excited about this one as it was ridiculously expensive to get this book sent to Australia. I did ask them to buy the book for me since Swedish citizens need to use their own personal number to buy things online. I didn’t see anything new or exciting until we were driving through Helsingborg, and I came across Maria Trolle’s new book, Skymningstimman and Emelie Lidehall Oberg’s book Sagor Och Sägner. So I impulsively bought them. The other book I bought was from Amazon France, which I organised to be delivered to my friends in Bordeaux. This was Coloriage Wild, by French artist Emmanuelle Colin.
I could not wait to get my pencils out as soon as I got home. I decided to start Maria Trolle’s colouring book Vivi söker en vän. To get back into the swing I did Chris Cheng’s three part tutorial, Into The Fairy World. This tutorial took me soon long. I only finished a couple of nights ago. Partly because there is so much detail and also because I’ve been too sick to colour much the last couple of weeks.
I am so thrilled how this page turned out. It just looks just as spectacular in my book and I can’t believe I was about to achieve this much colour and depth. I absolutely love Chris’s tutorials and I learn so much from her. The biggest thing I think I have learned is how to layer with so much colour.
For my book, I decided to keep Vivi in the yellow dress so that I can continue this throughout the book. I was using a thinner Uniball Signo white gel pen to do the fox’s fur. I did upgrade to the Broad Uniball Signo, but I was happy to leave it as is.
I am so in love with this book so this will be my next project for a little while. Once I have enough pictures I will do a review and include my finished pages.

Webb: That's absolutely ludicrous, though, isn't it? I mean the view in America of that kind of comment is just to throw your hands up and say 'For goodness sake...' Look at the facts on the ground, look at the way that Iraq was run before the invasion, look at Iran now, and then look, for instance, at America. I mean, can you seriously say that there is some kind of moral equivalence between the way they treat their own people and the way Americans treat theirs, the way they behave on the world stage...?
[W]hy should our horror at September 11 mitigate our horror at U.S. torture? Liberals have the right to measure the Bush administration against our vision of America, not merely against the reality of America's enemies. Judging the United States by the standards of Al Qaeda - like judging the United States by the standards of the Soviet Union during the cold war - makes it far too easy to absolve our government's sins. Joseph McCarthy was far better than Josef Stalin, but he was still a menace. Richard Nixon was far better than Leonid Brezhnev, but he still deserved to be impeached.
What both Lieberman and the Lieberman-haters have lost is what the great social democratic critic Irving Howe called "two-sided politics." Liberals are engaged in two different struggles - one against illiberalism at home, the other against an even more profound illiberalism abroad. Both must be fought with passion. Neither can be subsumed.

Thank you for all of the nice emails, direct messages on twitter from the webinar I gave on Power View as part of Pragmatic Works Free Training on the T's on Valentine's Day. And yes I did play Mr. Barry White to get you in "the mood" for some Power View awesomeness. You might see a lot of other Power View presentations, but doubt Barry White will be part of those!
A lot of you also asked about the process to add images to your BISM Tabular or PowerPivot model so figured I would write it up. It can be done in 5 simple steps.
1. Alter the DimProductSubCategory table and add a column to store the URL.
2. Create a folder on the SharePoint site to store the images you wish to associate to the product sub categories. You don't have to use SharePoint as your location but should make sure the permissions will work for your chosen URL location.
3. Upload the images to the SharePoint folder or your chosen URL Location.
4. Update the DimProductSubCategory table in the database with the URL for each SubCategoryPicture. Now I named each image exactly as the EnglishProductSubCategoryName that you find in the table so I could easily produce a URL for all of the product sub-categories with a simple update statement.
5. I used a BISM Tabular Model as my source for Power View so I just need to import the new column from its underlying SQL Server Database into the BISM Tabular model. This can easily be done by selecting Table > Table Properties > Check the box for the new column SubCategoryPicture.
On the SubCategoryPicture column set Image URL properties to true. Save Your Model and Deploy it.
Hope this helps you create images in Power View easily!

At this chilly time of year there are few sights more likely to warm your heart than a robin hopping around the garden. With their plump red breasts and joyful song, robins are a stalwart of the winter garden, bringing cheer to the frostiest of mornings.
If you’d like to encourage more robins into your garden this winter, there are some simple things you can do to make the habitat more inviting.
Robins like to snack on creepy-crawlies, as well as seeds and fruit. Two favoured foods of the robin are insects such as beetles and mealworms (beetle larva), and invertebrates such as earthworms. For this reason, a robin can be a great friend to the avid gardener – with a few of these feathered friends around you won’t have to worry about insects chomping through your plants.
One easy way to get hold of these foods is to buy a bird feed mix. When choosing, check the ingredients on the back to make sure it is suitable for robins.
Robins are small birds, which means they cannot consume anything too large. Avoid putting out seed mixes that contain dried peas, beans, rice, lentils, wheat or barley, as these are inappropriate for robins and can only be eaten by larger birds.
It’s also a bad idea to leave out bread. Birds will eat it, but it does not contain the right nutrients that they require during the cold winter months.
Lastly, you should never leave out milk for birds as they are unable to digest it. Fermented dairy products such as mild cheese are fine in small amounts.
Robins are ground feeders, which means the best way to entice them is to buy a bird table away from the risk of cats, preferably one that is covered and has plenty of place for robins to perch. Put out some fruit, seeds, suet, and live or dried mealworms (if you are using dried it is best to soak them in water first), and wait for the robins to arrive!
Fat balls or bars can be a great way to entice robins. Melt some suet or lard and mix it with fruit, nuts and seeds, then leave the hardened balls or bars on your feeder.
In addition, make sure you put out a dish of clean water – robins need to stay hydrated and clean.
Robins don’t tend to use hanging feeders, as they prefer to have somewhere to perch while they eat. Whether you’re using a table or a ground feeding tray, it’s vital that you don’t let the food get wet – soggy, mouldy food can be dangerous for birds, which is why a covered tray or table is ideal.

If you had any doubt how little Albany changes, look no further than the annual New York state budget.
I recently came across an editorial from the Plattsburgh Press-Republican entitled “State budget process still a big secret.” The editorial was published on April 6, 2008. That was 10 years, four legislatures and one governor ago.
The editorial noted that “budget talks this year have been more secretive than ever.” Actually, that’s the one thing that has changed since then: They’ve gotten worse.
This year, the government grappled with a $168 billion spending plan with a $4.4 billion deficit hanging over their heads, as well as legislation on school funding, early voting, legal rights and sexual harassment. Those subjects are incredibly important to the citizens and taxpayers of New York state.
So it would make sense that they should know more about discussions regarding those subjects, and that their representatives should have a much bigger say in those discussions. Instead, the New York state budget process is secretive, disorderly and, to be frank, undemocratic.
The bulk of the budget is decided by what has infamously been called “the three men in the room”: Gov. Andrew Cuomo, state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and state Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan. In recent years, New York’s twisted politics has resulted in adding a fourth man: Sen. Jeffrey Klein, leader of a coalition of breakaway Democrats who caucus with Republicans in the Senate.
This exclusive club conducts the state’s most pressing business of the year behind closed doors, hashing out backroom deals that satisfy the different political dynamics that make up the Legislature. They keep the public, the media and even their own legislative colleagues completely in the dark. Any influence that other members of the Legislature might have on these secret budget negotiations is extremely limited, and they are largely excluded from the details until it’s time to vote on whatever their superiors have decided.
As the 2008 Plattsburgh Press-Republican editorial noted, when Eliot Spitzer was elected governor in 2006, he promised to amend this abysmal practice. In the one state budget he helped craft before resigning from office in scandal, he did no such thing. His successor, David Paterson, who was swept into office around budget time, didn’t bother to make the effort, either.
The secrecy increased this year, as Cuomo held budget talks at the governor’s private mansion, rather than in offices at the Capitol. This makes reporters’ access to Albany’s top brass even more restricted in the short time they have to shout out questions before they get doors slammed in their faces.
After the three (or four) men in the room finish their covert talks, a flurry of bills hundreds of pages long are printed out and sent to lawmakers at the Capitol. Not too unlike school students who rush to get their homework done, our representatives then hurry and cast their vote on these bills without reading them, and almost always pass them in the middle of the night.
There are some lawmakers this year who literally aren’t part of the budget process at all. Eleven legislative seats — nine in the Assembly and two in the Senate — are currently vacant.
Despite weeks of demands that Cuomo set a date for special elections to fill those vacancies before the April 1 budget deadline, the governor instead decided that April 24 would be a good day for those elections. That means 1.8 million New York citizens had absolutely no voice in how millions of dollars of their tax money would be spent during the next year.
For the lawmakers who can’t pass legislation before deadline, there’s a provision in the state Constitution called a “message of necessity.” This gives the governor the authority to waive the required three days of debate, discussion and oversight of bills so they can get rammed through the Legislature — again oftentimes in the dead of night — and eliminate any chance for testimony, hearings or feedback from constituents.
After all the secret meetings and chamber chaos is done, Cuomo and lawmakers pat themselves on the back for their ingenuity, paint the budget as a big win for the people and then proceed on their two-week vacation. That’s how it went this year and that’s how it will go next year.
It’s disappointing that the Plattsburgh Press-Republican could reprint its entire editorial from 2008 in 2018, save for the name changes of the three men in the room. It’s frustrating how different the state is now than it was 10 years ago, yet one of our government’s most basic functions remains shrouded in mystery and deceit.
Politicians not keeping their promises? Like most things in Albany, that will never change.

In today's economy, businesses are trying to cut back and employees, most often, are not being paid what they are worth. Even if you can't get that raise right now, it's a good idea to know what you are worth as an employee.
Document what you do. This will take more than an hour or so. You need to know what you do and how often. You can do this in the form of a resume, a mind map, and many other things. Don't worry about the one page limitation for this particular 'resume' though.
Determine if your position has a title. Are you a brick layer, an administrative assistant, a cashier.
Go to the census bureau. They have information on pay and benefits that might be helpful.
Check out the Office of Personnel Management. There is a lot of information to be found there.
Ask around. While most people might not be interested in letting you know what they make, some might.
Where you live. The position you hold in Washington state is probably worth (monetarily) more than the same one in Kansas. Mostly because of the cost of living.
Find out what the cost of living is in your area and how it compares to other places.

"Great job! All my cracks closed up, and now my doors work right." Lisa P.
Humble Texas is a family friendly community located just north of Houston Texas. Founded in the late 1800’s by an attorney named Pleasant Smith Humble, the town didn’t really take off until after the oil boom in 1901. The city boasted the original home of the Humble Oil Company, and by 1905 the Humble oilfield was the largest producing field in the United States.
Downtown Humble is located on a salt dome, but the surrounding soils are the clay types that can move up and down with the moisture content. When it rains, the clay swells up and heaves, but when it is dry, the clay can shrink several inches or more. Concrete slab foundations built over this constantly moving clay cause serious problems, requiring foundation repair.
There are two main foundation repair methods available to residents of Humble. The most common is the Hydraulically Driven Piling system, and the longest lasting of these is the Dura Pier Dura Lock system. The older Deep Drilled Bell Bottom Pier system is still available in certain situations, but for the most part has faded out as a viable solution. Preventative measures such as Moisture Maintenance Systems can slow down the large fluctuations in soil moisture content, but inevitably pilings will be needed.
When deciding to have your home’s foundation repaired, there are several important considerations. The Lifetime Transferable Warranty is only as good as the company standing behind it, and by the warranty terms it contains. Start by getting 2 or 3 estimates from foundation repair contractors who have family run businesses in the Humble market for at least 20 years, who have good referrals and testimonials, and have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Read the contract and warranty, and look for a good after-job cleanup services list. Dura Pier has all this and much more!
Please call today for a Free Inspection.
I really want to recommend you and your company to others. Of all the estimates we got, you explained everything best, and then your men did everything you told us without any problems. I really liked your bolted system, and your engineer’s report that certified the work was done right.
Thanks to your great crew for the extra care they took with the inside of my house, especially my antique furniture. We were so worried that some of it would be damaged. Your men moved everything out of the way so carefully, covered it securely with plastic, and then put it all back like it was when you finished. We had very little dust, and no damage to anything.
I’m glad I chose Dura Pier over the others we talked to. You weren’t the most expensive, but not the least either. The thing I liked most was that you included a lot of the cleanup services in your price. No one else offered to do those, and we would have had to hire other contractors to do them. You adjusted all my doors, fixed all my mortar cracks, and did a great job with my landscaping. Your plumber tested my sewer pipes, and repaired a small leak at no extra charge. Thanks again.
Great job! All my cracks closed up, and now my doors work right. The cleanup was fantastic, and they even repaired my sprinkler system. Please add me to your referral list.
I’m an engineer and I appreciate having your engineer’s certification that the pilings were installed to the right depths, and at the right hydraulic pressures. If I ever sell my house, your engineer’s drawing will give the buyer added confidence that my foundation was repaired correctly, and will last.

"...The reason we are now surfacing HTML validation issues in the error list by default is that we are trying to promote more standards-based HTML with VS 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0, as well as to catch potential rendering and browser functionality errors earlier in the development process (so that you dont have to run and carefully analyze every page in your app. looking for these types of issues).
...If youd rather not have these types of HTML validation errors show up in your error-list, you can disable this functionality by selecting the Tools->Options menu item in VS or Visual Web Developer."
"...So there are two issues here: First the fact that HTML format errors really have no business being flagged as errors. Errors in this environment should only be things that break the build and HTML errors don't qualify in my book. I can appreciate the folks who are Nazis about their HTML Validation and want to see them prominently, but having them show as errors doesn't do anything other than display here its not breaking the build, so this is purely an annoying and non-configurable GUI feature."
...The other is that of context. If I compile an individual assembly, that has nothing to do with HTML markup tags why should the IDE show these errors in this place its completely out of context. Theres no options to have VS show the difference between background compile/eval errors of whats open and what compile you just ran. All this stuff just gets jumbled together into a single bin."
"Thank you for your feedback. After Beta 2, we changed XHTML conformance to Transitional for all new Whidbey applications. Unfortunately, this triggers an issue when converting a VS03 web project. A number of developers wrote script that relied on the id attribute of the Form tag (it was the most common breaking change for ASP.NET in compatibility labs around the worlds) . This is a not allowed attribute in transitional -- so if we make it transitional on upgrade scenarios we break a lot of developer client side script. So when we convert a VS03 web project we set XHTML conformance to use Legacy mode."
One of the facts of life with web development today is that we live in a multi-browser world and building good web UI that works seamlessly with all browsers isn't easy.
One of the big pain-points is the fact that a lot of things often "kinda work", but ultimately perform or render in subtle different ways in different browsers (small spacing differences, rendering issues, etc). Keeping track of "standards mode", "quirks mode", and "transitional" renderings is a real pain and time-sync (and trying to keep everyone on a team up-to-date with them is not easy). I would personally prefer chasing down a deadlock bug over a subtle Opera/IE/FireFox/Safari overlay spacing issue any day of the week.
The goal with adding the HTML validation features into VS 2005 was to help make it easier for developers to know exactly what is -- and what isn't -- legal html/css to add to their app, and to help developers write code that has the best possible chance of working consistently in all browsers the first time around (specifically by writing to agreed on standards supported by all systems).
It can ceretainly be a "pain" when you see a lot of errors show up in the error-list indicating that there are problems with your HTML. But I would argue that it is *a heck of a lot* more of a pain trying to identify and fix rendering problems in multiple browsers on multiple operating systems once the app is built and deployed (especially since the bug reports you'll receive from users tend to be hard to pinpoint comments like "it looks really bad and I don't like it"). Rather than force people to manually learn/verify what is/isn't legal, we wanted VS 2005 to help automate the verification and guide new markup to be correct.
The reason we chose to mark html validation issues as errors as opposed to warnings is because if a user using a non-IE browser is trying to access your web app and it doesn't render or work correctly for them, then they are going to interpret/believe the app is buggy. I do agree with Rick's feedback that there should be a better way to filter these errors in the error list (maybe adding another tab to enable easily turning them on and off -- something I think we should do for the next release). But I do think we need to help educate and guide developers towards writing web apps that will work in all browsers -- and to treat things that prevent this from working as "errors/bugs", instead of just "warnings/nice to-dos".
One thing to call out (for those that haven't used the feature yet), is that the HTML validation support can actually be configured to validate different things for different standards and at different levels. The default validation we use out of the box with a clean VS 2005 install is "XHTML Transitional", but can be configured to be "XHTML Strict", "HTML 4.01" or even "IE 6.0" instead. This later option is the closest approximation to the HTML generated by VS 2003, and is a setting you might want to use if you have a large amount of HTML that is non-legal but you aren't ready yet to invest the time to fix it to be more standards compliant and/or non-IE browser compatible. Switching between the different validation standards is pretty easy (by default there is a drop-down box in your toolbar to allow you to switch target schemas rapidly and on the fly).
For example, the errors in Rick's post with the colors are because the page is being validated using an XHTML Transitional validation setting, but it is using non-standard color names that might not work in all browsers and are not XHTML legal (here is the list of legal HTMl 4 and XHTML colors: http://www.webstandards.org/learn/reference/color_names.html). If he changed the validation to instead be "IE 6.0" -- then those specific validation errors will go away.
By default, when you upgrade an existing VS 2003 web project, we actually set the validation to be "IE 6.0" to help minimize the errors you see (note: this was a late RTM fix -- so wasn't what happened in Beta2). For HTML 4.01 and IE 6.0, there are also sub-levels of validation that you can set if you want to incrementally add additional validation rules (for example: you can choose to validate inside css style elements or not, validate element casing, element close tags, etc).
If you don't want or care about HTML validation at all, you can also obviously turn it off completely. This blog post shows how: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/11/23/431350.aspx.
Any particular reason why there's no option to set the validation type to something like "Automatic" and have VS check for a DOCTYPE declaration in order to determine the rules to use?

Welcome to the Acorns class page - comprising our YR class. Here you will find out about your child's learning and any key information that you need to be aware of.
Mrs Arthur teaches on Mondays, Tuesdays and alternate Wednesdays with Mrs Hosken teaching on Thursdays and Fridays and alternate Wednesdays. Mrs Schofield is with the class every day.
Our PE day is Thursday, however we do ask that PE kits are in school every day to allow for flexibility.
We visit the school library on Friday afternoons, and encourage the children to change their books weekly to develop their love of reading and experiencing a range of stories and text types.
We change reading books on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and ask that books are read at least twice before being changed. If your child seems confident in reading, then encouraging them to discuss events and characters is a good way to develop comprehension. It is just as important for children to understand what they are reading as it is to be able to read the words.
It is important that children have named coats all year round and sun cream and sun hats for the summer term to allow us to explore the outdoors in all weathers. It may also be a good idea to provide a spare change of clothes in case of messy or wet play.

Trellis rung in the season of gratitude by giving back to our McDowell Road community at the Miracle Mile Fall Cleanup on November 4th. Made possible by a partnership between the Phoenix Community Alliance’s McDowell Road Revitalization Committee, Trellis, the City of Phoenix, the Miracle Mile Merchants Association, and Keep Phoenix Beautiful, the cleanup was indeed a community led effort. Armed with weed-whackers, trash pickers, paint rollers, and more, nearly 140 community heroes took to the streets and alleyways between 12th Street and State Route 51 along McDowell Road to totally transform our neighborhood.
Kids and teens from the Boys & Girls Club Warner A. Gabel Branch, ASU Preparatory Academy, Scott-Foundation, and G-Road, were among the most remarkable cleanup leaders, taking action by painting numerous walls full of graffiti and working together to pick up countless bags of litter. Likewise, our street sides and alleyways could not have been made squeaky clean without the help of so many folks who live and work in the Miracle Mile McDowell Community every day. Residents from the Coronado, Garfield, & Creighton neighborhoods teamed up with local business owners including Amstrong Prior Inc., Chiropractic Del Sol, Capstone Realty Professionals and so many more as they scoured 6 alleyways. Longtime business owner at 18th Street and McDowell, John Armstrong of Armstrong Prior Inc., even exclaimed about the alley behind his building, “This alley has never been this clean!” After all was said and done, accomplished volunteers piled into the McDowell Market & Palabras Bilingual Bookstore to read, play games, enjoy each other’s company, and relish in the benefits of their hard work. Lastly, sandwiches from Ike’s Love & Sandwiches and giveaways from The Smyl Co., Miracle Mile Deli, 850zip, & Arizona Diamondbacks made the day even brighter.
At Trellis, we strive to make stable homes and communities possible and we are immeasurably thankful for the students, families, residents, businesses, and more who come together to truly make a difference. The Miracle Mile Fall Cleanup proves that we can accomplish great things when we gather together as a community.

What does recycling a single glass bottle get you? You could power a 100-watt light bulb for up to 4 hours. You would also power a television for 20 minutes. Now imagine if everyone in the country recycled a glass bottle today? That would be an amazing amount of energy saved. Swapping out recycled glass for half the amount of glass made from raw materials can reduce pollution by up to 80%.
Where else can you recycle? Candy. That foil wrapper that Hershey’s Kisses comes in is totally recyclable. Most of the other candy wrappers can also be recycled. Check those labels. They might be using recycled packaging already. What about newspapers? Recycling one run of a newspaper can save 75,000 trees. If everyone recycled all their newspapers, then we could probably save up to 250,000,000 trees each year.
Not a lot of effort to drop your newspapers into a recycle bin, right? But why stop there? You can also recycled flyers, junk mail, letters, bills, and packaging from food items are all everyday paper-made things you could be recycling instead of throwing in the garbage. That will all have a huge impact on the environment.
Where else could you be recycling? What about all the junk you want to get rid of from around your house? The moment something becomes broken or you’re simply done with it, then it has become junk. Are you looking to get rid of things like an old couch or mattress? What about a busted washer or fridge you’re keeping in storage in the garage? All of that can be recycled if you hire the right junk hauling company. That would be Junk King Detroit.
Junk King Detroit is part of a national chain of professional junk haulers who have been in this line of work since 2005. Since their inception, Junk King has been dedicated to an eco-friendly way of getting rid of the junk they collect. The crews are all trained to spot those items that can be recycled or donated. It might mean an extra drop off but that is a trip Junk King is happy to make. Step up your recycling game by hiring Junk King Detroit to haul away your rubbish today.

Everything that exists in the universe, including our bodies and our homes is made of five elements.
These forces of nature have a powerful influence on us as well as on the environments around us. Vastu is a Science that was developed to organize our man-made environments so that we are in alignment with these forces of energy.
If we are out of alignment with solar and geomagnetic forces we may experience illness, and misfortune. We are in fact moving against the smooth flow of life in the same way as if we forced ourselves against the natural flow of a river and will struggle unnecessarily.
The East is the source of Solar, Ultraviolet Rays and the North is the source of Magnetic Energy. We benefit most by keeping our environments open to these life supporting energies.
The harmful Infra-red Rays , which come from the South, and the destructive Gamma Rays from the West, cause disruption within our bodies as well as our homes. Using principles from Vastu Shastra we protect ourselves against these harmful rays.
By balancing these elements in their proper porportions we will gain the benefits of being in balance with nature and experience health, happiness and prosperity.
Yoga, Ayurveda and Vastu Shastra all honour these forces of nature by balancing them in our bodies, homes and environments. Your health and success are directly related to the orientation and shape of your environment whether it is an apartment, office cubicle, or a large office building. Knowing the influences we are under and adapting ourselves and our environments to be in harmony with these forces, will influence all areas of our lives.

Bradley Pryce and Neil Sinclair will clash in a mouth-watering quarter-final contest in Prizefighter Light-Middleweights next Friday.
Welshman Pryce, the 5/2 favourite to claim the £32,000 winner’s cheque, was drawn to face experienced Belfast fighter Sinclair in the second of the quarter-finals for the latest Prizefighter event.
Manchester's highly-fancied Prince Arron, 22, will take on Canning Town's George Hillyard in the opening contest, with the winner to face Pryce or Sinclair in the semi-finals.
Leicester's Martin Concepcion would have to reach the final if he was to bid for revenge against Pryce for a defeat in their Commonwealth Championship bout of 2007, after being drawn in the bottom half of the draw to face unbeaten Steve O'Meara in the quarters.
The other bout sees Merseyside's unbeaten Brett Flournoy drawn against Bristol's Danny Butler in their opening three-round contest.

I'm not much into crossdressing, but when I found an official kilt for one of my school uniforms, I just had to get it.
I think I’d have to put the crotch rope on before the skirt.
I usually see them tied over the skirt in videos involving uniforms so I wanted to try that out.

Green Bay Metro offers Paratransit service programs to individuals with qualifying disabilities. Paratransit is a demand response service where the vehicle does not follow a fixed route or schedule.
Some of Green BayMetro’s Paratransit services are provided by a private contractor. The contractor utilizes demand response sedans and lift-equipped vehicles to serve the needs of ambulatory and non-ambulatory riders. The service is shared ride, so riders may share the vehicle with other riders during their trip. The current Paratransit provider is MV Transportation.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires federally funded public transit systems to provide a complementary Paratransit service for individuals with a disability whose condition prevents them from using the fixed route bus service. Green Bay Metro’s core Paratransit service program was established to comply with the ADA.
This document is designed to provide information regarding Green Bay Metro’s ADA Paratransit program. Some of the ADA standards cited in this document do not apply to non-ADA Paratransit programs.
Forms are also available for download on Green Bay Metro’s website. Hearing impaired customers can contact Green Bay Metro through the Wisconsin Telephone relay system line 800-947-3529.
Green Bay Metro determines eligibility upon review of a completed eligibility form containing information regarding the applicant’s functional ability to board, ride, or disembark from Green Bay Metro fixed route buses. Green Bay Metro reserves the right to require a medical professional’s opinion and/or a functional assessment prior to determining eligibility.
The ADA certification may be conditional or unconditional depending on the applicant’s abilities. Green Bay Metro, in accordance with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, will determine eligibility no later than 21 days after receiving the completed application. This does not include time waiting for requests for more information from the applicant or the applicant’s health care professional.
After the completed eligibility form is received, a Green Bay Metro staff member will call to schedule an in-person interview. Interviews are conducted by appointment. If necessary, transportation to and from the interview will be provided free of charge.
1. A person who cannot navigate the transit system without assistance. This includes an inability to board, ride, or disembark from a fully accessible Green Bay Metro bus.
2. A person who, because of a disability, cannot travel to or from the bus stop due to, for example, distance, terrain, weather, safety, or other obstacles that impede them due to their disability.
All Green Bay Metro buses are equipped with a ramp and other accessible features. All routes are served by accessible buses, so there is no eligibility based on inaccessible vehicles. If there is a mechanical failure of a bus’s accessible features, the vehicle is immediately replaced with a fully functioning spare bus.
1. Unconditional (all trips)-An individual with disabilities that cannot use the fixed route bus system under any circumstance.
2. Conditional or Trip by trip (some trips)-An individual with disabilities that can be reasonably expected to make some trips by bus, but requires Paratransit for trips under certain circumstances (e.g., deep snow or variable health conditions).
3. Temporary Disabilities-An individual with disabilities that cannot use the fix route bus system for a limited period of time.
An appeal process will be available to those individuals wishing to dispute a conditional, certification, denial certification, or service suspension.
3. Green Bay Metro will notify the individual of the Commission’s ruling on the appeal within 10 days. This notification will outline the ruling and supporting reasons.
4. Once the individual has been informed of the Commission’s ruling, the decision will be implemented on the next day of service.
5. All decisions made by the Commission are final.
3. Service is provided at all times that Metro fixed routes operate.
Service is only provided inside the service area as defined by the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The area is defined as an area within ¾ of a mile on either side of a fixed route. (Map enclosed).
The basic mode of service for complementary paratransit is demand responsive, origin-to-destination. Door-to-door service is provided.
Basic service: $3 per one-way trip.
Agency fare: $15 per one-way trip.
Riders can pay the driver the exact cost of the one way trip or use a Paratransit ticket. Paratransit tickets can only be purchased at the Green Bay Metro office.
Mail a check payable to Green Bay Metro for the exact amount.
Be sure to include your current address.
Green Bay Metro assumes no responsibility for lost or stolen Paratransit tickets.
Paratransit riders reserve trips by calling the service provider’s dispatch number during business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7:15 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. The caller should be prepared to provide the dispatcher the following information: first name; last name; phone number; how they intend to pay the fare; origin address; destination address; accompanying companion(s), if needed; accompanying equipment(e.g., oxygen tank and respirators); ambulatory or non-ambulatory and desired arrival time.
Next day or subscription service is available by contacting the provider’s dispatcher. Trips can be scheduled up to 14 days in advance. The more notice given, the better the chance the requester has of obtaining a desirable pick-up time.
During periods of high demand, it may be necessary for dispatchers to negotiate pick-up times; however, the rider will not be required to schedule a trip more than one hour before or after the desired pick-up time.
Same day call-ins, including unscheduled requests for return trips, might not be accepted. “Will Calls” will only be accepted if a trip has been scheduled. You must have a scheduled pick-up time. A rider can call to request an earlier pick-up time before their scheduled trip, but Green Bay Metro cannot guarantee that the requested pick up time will be accepted. We cannot assure any specific pick-up time.
The ADA prohibits restrictions or priorities based on trip purpose. All trips are served in the order received and as scheduled. For state and federal reporting purposes, riders may be requested to provide the reason for the trip, but will not be denied service based on trip purpose.
There are two types of reservations: advance and subscription. Advance service includes trips scheduled for next day service. Subscription service is defined as trips that are set up for a rider to occur on a regular basis (daily, weekly, monthly).
The rider must demonstrate a pattern of the subscription trips for 30 days prior to subscription service being implemented. Riders must travel to and from the same destination, with similar pickup and drop-off times, at least once a week for 30 days to demonstrate a pattern for subscription service.
Riders are allotted one permanent change per subscription trip to their subscription service. Permanent changes are defined as changes to pickup time, locations, number of companions, and other factors that may affect scheduling. More than one change may result in the subscription being cancelled.
Subscription trips that are cancelled 25% or more within a 30 day period may result in the cancellation of subscription service.
The rider is to be aware that subscription service will be automatically cancelled on all Federal holidays.
If the destination and/or origin address changes, the rider has to cancel their current subscription and a new subscription must be implemented. The rider must demonstrate a pattern of the new subscription as described above.
Subscription service may take up to fourteen (14) calendar days to implement.
Prior to subscription service being established riders must continue to call for a scheduled pick-up time.
Subscription service may be placed on hold for a maximum of 14 days within a rolling 90 day period. The exact same subscription must be implemented, or it will be handle as a new subscription.
Subscriptions which have been inactive for longer than 30 days will be cancelled. The rider is responsible for rebooking inactive subscription trips. If a client rebooks a previously existing subscription after 30 days and the subscription is identical to the original, the 30 day pattern is not required.
Green Bay Metro limits the number of subscriptions riders at 60%. Once the limit is met the rider will be added to a waiting list.
Each trip includes one destination. Brief stops at locations before the scheduled destination will not be allowed. If multiple destinations are needed, each section of the trip must be scheduled separately and the rider must pay a fare for each ride.
All certified clients will receive a Paratransit Identification Card after their application is processed. The card must be kept current and presented to the driver upon boarding the vehicle.
It is the rider’s responsibility to keep the card’s information current. If a rider’s address or name changes, the rider should contact Green Bay Metro to update this information. Clients are required to reapply for ADA certification every three (3) years.
When your pick-up time is scheduled, the vehicle can arrive anytime within a 30-minutes pick-up window, which is defined as fifteen (15) minutes before and fifteen (15) minutes after the scheduled pick-up time. For example, if your appointment is scheduled for 9 a.m., the pick-up window time frame is 8:45 am to 9:15 a.m. It is the rider’s responsibility to be prepared to board the vehicle within the pick-up window.
Once the vehicle arrives in the allotted pick-up time, the driver will wait for up to five (5) minutes for a rider. If the rider is not prepared to board within this five (5) minute period, the trip will be counted as a no-show and the vehicle will be dispatched to another location. It is the rider’s responsibility to be able to clearly see the area where a vehicle would arrive for pick-up. The rider should be prepared to approach the vehicle when it arrives unless driver assistance was requested when the ride was scheduled.
When a rider needs to cancel a trip, the cancellation should occur more than one hour prior to the scheduled pick-up time. A late cancellation (less than 1 hour) is considered a no-show (see the “No-Shows” policy below).
The first no-show: Letter stating date of no-show and a copy of the no-show policy.
The second no-show: Letter stating date of the no-show and a copy of the no-show policy.
The third no-show: Letter stating date of the no-show, a copy of the no-show policy, imposition of a 7-day suspension if applicable and a copy of the Green Bay Metro appeals process.
Any person suspended from service has the right to appeal the decision. ADA Service may continue during the appeals process.
Any individual may, in lieu of a 7-day suspension, have the option to pay a NO-SHOW FEE The cost of the No-Show Fee will be $15 to eliminate one no-show trip. The No-Show Fee must be paid at the office of Green Bay Metro before service is reinstated.
To ensure safety, our rider policy prohibits seriously disruptive behavior, public health threats, and refusal to comply with rules. If the prohibited behavior results from a disability, GBM may require that a personal care attendant ride with the rider to control the prohibited behavior.
One personal care attendant (PCA) per ADA program rider is permitted to ride free.
One companion may accompany a program rider, but must pay the current cost for each one-way trip. Additional companions may ride and pay a fare, if space is available for safe transport. PCA’s and companions must have the same origin and destination as the program rider.
Arrangements for all additional companions must be made at the time of the reservation. Program rider must supply child safety seat for accompanying infants and small children.
Visitors are eligible for 21 days of service in a 365-day period beginning on the first day the service is used by the visitor. For additional days of service, the individual is expected to register under Green Bay Metro’s eligibility procedures.
For individuals who reside outside the Green Bay Metro service jurisdictions, Green Bay Metro shall certify an individual with a disability as a visitor when providing documentation of residence, a statement that because of their disability they are unable to access the fixed route, and, if requested, documentation of disability.
Green Bay Metro shall accept the certification of another transit agency for visitor service.
Individuals from outside the Green Bay Metro service jurisdiction may also self-certify that they are unable to use the fixed route system for visitor service.
Green Bay Metro allows riders to bring medical equipment such as respirators and portable oxygen tanks on board vehicles. Oxygen tanks should remain upright at all times and must be secured to the mobility device or held in an upright position.
Each eligible rider is allowed to carry on up to four (4) carry on. This includes personal belongings and grocery bags.
The purpose of the rider policy is to set guidelines for refusal or suspension of transportation services administered or provided by Green Bay Metro.
This policy applies to circumstances and/or behavior that occurs on Green Bay Metro property, vehicles, or while boarding Green Bay Metro vehicles.
A rider that refuses to comply with posted safety rules or driver instructions may be refused service.
Riders must be able to physically board and alight from the bus. If a rider can not physically board or alight from a bus, the rider will need to acquire the resources needed to overcome their disabling condition, such as, a mobility device and/or personal care attendant.
The vehicle operator has the authority to refuse service on the day of the violation. Violations of these rules will be reviewed by Green Bay Metro staff for further action.
The Transit Director, or his/her designee, is authorized to suspend or refuse the provision of service to riders who: (1) violate Green Bay Metro’s no-show policy; (2) engage in violent, seriously disruptive, or illegal conduct; (3) pose a public health threat; (4) refuse to pay the applicable fare; or (5)refuse to comply with safety rules. The term of the suspension or refusal of service shall depend on the nature and seriousness of the prohibited conduct.
To the extent feasible, the rider shall be notified in writing. The written notification will state the specific basis for the proposed action, the proposed sanction, and the appeal process.
Green Bay Metro is responsible for ensuring Paratransit service performance complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Service oversight of the provider is completed through review of monthly trip records, on-site meetings, feedback received through the complaint and comment process, and periodic surveys of riders. In general, the ADA requires Paratransit service provided to riders with disabilities to be comparable to what is provided to riders of the fixed route bus system. Green Bay Metro has developed standards based on regulatory requirements and nationally recognized guidance related to Paratransit service. Below is a list of performance measurable to ADA Paratransit service and established standards within each measure.
A Paratransit vehicle is on-time if the vehicle arrives with a 30 minutes pick-up window. This is defined as fifteen (15) minutes before and fifteen (15) minutes after the scheduled pickup time. Green Bay Metro monitors trip records from all ADA trips to track on-time performance. The goal is for 95% on-time performance. Will-calls trips and other non-ADA trips are not included in this goal. When on-time performance falls below 95%, Green Bay Metro will meet with the contractor to determine factors that impact on-time performance and corrective actions, if needed.
The standard is to minimize call hold times. Our goal is for 95% of calls to be answered within 3 minutes and 99% answered within 5 minutes. Green Bay Metro analyzes this measure by randomly monitoring the provider’s phone access and documenting call hold times. Rider complaints are also used to determine if phone access capacity constraints occurred.
On occasion, Green Bay Metro may conduct a survey of all or a segment of ADA Paratransit riders. Riders may be asked to rate their satisfaction with on-time performance, dispatcher courtesy, driver courtesy, driver sensitivity, vehicle cleanliness, and overall ride quality. The survey also allows riders to write in comments and provides valuable information about customer satisfaction over time. The results are reviewed with the provider to identify areas of improvement and areas of success.
Green Bay Metro’s Paratransit system is prohibited from having any capacity constraints. Trip demand must be adequately served to provide equivalent access when compared to the fix route bus system. Green Bay Metro monitors the following to ensure adequate capacity: trip denials; no-shows; subscription rides; customer complaints; and vehicle used.
ADA Paratransit programs are designed to provide transportation for individuals with disabilities that are unable to board, ride or alight from a bus; or when environmental or architectural barriers prevent a rider with disabilities from getting to or from a bus route stop. When these conditions are not present, riders with disabilities must utilize the fixed route bus routes to meet their mobility needs.
The fixed route bus offers a cost effective and accessible service. By presenting your Paratransit program identification card, you qualify to ride the fixed route buses for free.
Each bus contains accessible features, including: kneeling capability (bus lowers to make the first step easier); a ramp for wheelchair boarding; on-board wheelchair securement areas; and stop announcements by drivers.
Due to the unsafe nature of a rider incapable of negotiating steps to board the vehicle, Green Bay Metro requests such riders utilize the boarding chair (standard wheelchair) to board the vehicle. This recommendation is for the protection of all riders. Should a rider deny this request, he/she shall be asked to sign a release form prior to boarding.
Due to the high center of gravity of scooter-type mobility aids and the recommendation by scooter manufacturers, Green Bay Metro recommends that riders not be seated on the scooter either while the lift or the vehicle is in motion. It is recommended also that riders utilize the boarding chair during these instances. This recommendation is for the safety of the riders. Should a rider deny this request, he/she will be asked to sign a release form prior to boarding.
Each vehicle carries a boarding chair (standard wheelchair) for use by riders that cannot climb the steps to board the vehicle. Riders in scooters or riders whose mobility device does not fit on the lift and are able to transfer without assistance to the boarding chair may also utilize the chair.
Riders can sit in the boarding chair while the lift is in operation. This chair is provided for the safety of the rider.
Green Bay Metro drivers are trained to safely secure wheelchairs. Mobility aide tie-downs are used to secure mobility aides. The vehicles are designed to utilize four (4) straps to secure the mobility device in a forward facing position. All four straps must be secured to the mobility device prior to the vehicle moving. Each vehicle provides seatbelts for all riders. It is required that all riders utilize them for their safety. Green Bay Metro drivers also assist with the use of ramps and securement devices.
Green Bay Metro does not provide assistance when safety to drivers or riders is at risk. When a driver’s or rider’s safety is at risk, Green Bay Metro staff may recommend use of a personal care attendant or Paratransit service for the rider.
Green Bay Metro will provide to its riders, upon request, service materials including maps, applications and policies in an accessible format for disabled riders. If an accessible format is unavailable, Green Bay Metro will accommodate the rider’s request to the best of its ability.
