text:
Olli originally developed this new interface based on user testing as a Finnish Summer of Code project. He has since spent time doing further work on it, and it is nearly ready to be committed to CVS.
This issue is to track any remaining things that have to be done to get this committed.
The original development was managed under
CONTRIB-528, and docs pages linked from there.
(This issue is intentionally assigned to me. Most of the sub-issues will be assigned to Olli.)
Olli's latest patch did not apply cleanly for me. I had to fiddle with it a bit. Therefore, I have attached a new version of the patch that does apply cleanly.

The convention I am using is: for sub-tasks, severity = minor means we can deal with this after the patch is committed. severity = major means we need to fix this first.
Do any of the changes in styles_ie6.css need to be copied into styles_ie7.css?
Yay! review finished.
My plan is to go home now and rest my aching head (that is only partly the fault of reviewing code all day, it is mostly that I have tooth ache ). Then tomorrow morning, I will play with (test) the interface a bit more, and then commit it, unless I find any last-minute show-stoppers.
Olli, I think you should now go to http://moodle.org/mod/cvsadmin/view.php?cid=1 and request access to the folders listed in
Thank you, Tim!
I will refrain from making changes to the code for now, then to make sure I won't have to do them twice.
I do not have access to IE7 at the time. If need be, I probably could find a friend with whose computer I can test if the IE6 CSS needs to be used for IE7, too.
Though this is by no means crucial, I would have appreciated discussion about the changes to editconcepts.html beforehand. Mostly the changes are o.k, but:
- The text is now longer by about one fourth. The idea of this text is to really keep it brief as possible, since the barrier to read such instructions is high anyway. Especially the two sentences you've added to the third paragraph, while basic information, are probably too much for someone who has not yet tried out the UI at all, and too obvious for someone who has. If you still want to keep them, I would suggest formatting them in the way demonstrated below, to still keep scannability of the text at least moderate.
- Hard disc (->disk) may seem an obvious concept, but I would not expect teachers to know a computer peripheral - nor is it really relevant whether or not files are on hard disks or usb sticks or whatever. If you want to give context, I would replace this with the word "computer".
- I find also the grading instructions in the first paragraph making things more long&complicated, and do not quite see what they add. Especially this is quite subjective, though.
"When you create questions, they are stored in the question bank. In the question bank you can create categories, which are similar to folders on your hard disc. You can use them to create a hierarchy for organising your questions, for example, by topic. Even if you create and add a question directly into the quiz, it is automatically stored in the question bank too.
- If you later remove your question from the quiz, will remain in the question bank, unless you also go and delete it from there.
- As you construct your quiz, you can take any of the questions that are already in the question bank, and add them to your quiz."
I thought about asking you before checking in my changes, because I was not sure about some of them. Then I just wanted to get it done, and you were (probably) asleep at the time. So I just checked in what I had done, because I knew we could easily make more changes later. However, I probably should have waited and checked with you first. Sorry.
So please do make more changes to the file as you think best. I agree with you that the shorter we can make this the better.
But as the famous quote "I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time." (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Blaise_Pascal) implies, writing short text is very hard. We may have to change this several more times before we get it just right.
(It might also be worth posting in the quiz forum, to get more people's comments.)
Ok, no harm done.
I had only head this one before:
In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away. -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Mainly I wanted to hear your reasons for adding the bits about grading, since they probably have to do with your better understanding about actual pedagogical vocabulary, but I can't be sure.
Well, there was a bit about grades in your text, and it just felt a bit out of context. We explain questions and pages by saying that they are just like a traditional paper test, so I hoped we could explain having to set up scoring rules as being like preparing a mark-scheme. I would expect most UK teacher to understand the phrase mark-scheme, but I don't know if that phrase is used internationally. I agree that we could easily just delete the last sentence of that paragraph.
Olli, Just a thought, the message 'This random question is not in use, since its category is empty.
Add questions to the category F in the 'Question bank contents' tool ?'
Is it a good idea to change this, so that "category F in the 'Question bank contents' tool ?" is a link, and when you click it, it reloads the page, switching the question bank to be visible (if it is previously hidden) and making it display the empty category?
Oh, I see, the category name, which is printed above that message, is a link that does exactly what I suggest.
However, that was not obvious to me where that link went, until I started thinking about
MDL-17398 (for other question types, the link in the question name goes to the question editing form). I am about to post a more detailed comment there, with a suggestion.
Moved all issues from http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Quiz_UI_redesign_-_development#After_migration:_when_the_code_is_in_HEAD and from my notes here. This should be it for now.
Unless I have extra time or new critical things appear (in which case I will create more tickets from http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Quiz_UI_redesign_-_development), this might be everything I will do for the new Quiz UI. In addition, I will bring new tickets I wish to be done to quiz at a later time or by someone else.
Tim, do you think this is stupid?
in edit.php:532 onwards:
if ($significantchangemade) {
That is in order to remove get params from url, that would change the quiz contents again if the user reloaded the page. This safety measure increases the number of HTTP requests. The get parameters could perhaps be cleared using javascript without reloading the page but we can't rely on that. Can you think of any better way to do this?
I think it is very sensible. It is good practice to redirect to a GET URL after processing a POST action. It makes it safe for the user to click reload or back, or bookmark the page. It is a big usability win in exchange for a small performance loss. (But actually quite small, since the work done processing the POST and the work to render the next page have to be done anyway, so the amount of duplicated work is small.)
Hi everyone,
I have just stumbled on
CONTRIB-528. Looks like the new interface made its way to the HEAD.
Is there a place/forum to discuss it more? Should I post here: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=103869?
Tim said "But I don't want to release this in Moodle 2.0, and then have lots of people turn round an complain that they hate it."
I will be the one of those complainers, sorry
Hi Elena,
Any feedback and suggestions for improving are more than welcome, of course. In my opinion that thread is just fine, unless your issues are big enough to start a new one.
Elena. There is a Moodle 2.0 test site at http://test.moodle.org/head/, and I just created Quiz testing course. Instructions for how to log in are there.
1. The Add new question drop down on the quiz page layout is confusing. It is not clear where the question will be added to (on the question bank you see the category name in drop down above). I added a question and found that it was added to the category selected in the question bank, if there is a default set one would expect it to be the quiz category given the location of the button.This needs to be removed it's confusing and is an unnecessary duplication.
2. The space taken up by the fancy quiz area is squashing the question bank side badly, even on a hi-res monitor. There needs to be more balance on that page.
3. The option to not show question text when viewing the question bank in quiz edit view seems to be absent. Can we have it back?This may help with 2 above.
4. Add a description/label. This needs to go. It duplicates the add new question drop down in the quiz and question bank area. Same issue with location of new description as above. These are called "Descriptions" in this context (although the may be used as a label). Label in Moodle means something quite different.
5. Update this quiz link: Unnecessary duplicate and inconsistent with other areas in Moodle.
6. The text description of the question type and the word "Preview" waste screen real estate. They are pretty but add no real benefit. Icons only are required.
7. Suggestion: Move page number to position above each page (no on left) too much space wasted with current arrangement.
8. Need to lose the wasted space to the right of Grade save button.
9. Questions per page label does not update on revision of pagination.
Thank you for your comments, Ray. My main question to you is, if you are a question bank centered user, would not the "Order and paging" subtab not serve you better?
1. The drop down in quiz editing area is supposed to add questions in the Default for [Course name] category, and for me it does that, regardless of what category is selected in the question bank. If in your installation it is affected by the category selected in the question bank, please file a bug with details.
2. It would be ideal if the size could be user-set with AJAX. The reasoning for the width is to provide the guidance (Scapin et al. 1993, http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/define/ergonomics/index_en.htm) for the user to understand the function of the screen. Lack of guidance for especially the uninitiated user was one of the most serious usability flaws in the 1.9 version of the UI: as it seemed to try to fulfill all needs at once, novice users were puzzled about where to start as there was no clue as to what the workflow was supposed to be. In the new version the UI is supposed to show clearly the "toolbox" role of the question bank window - question bank is a tool used in the goal of building a quiz. The question bank could be enlarged to something still clearly below 50%, but this compromises the main functionality of the screen. Question bank operations have a screen of their own anyway.
3. Question bank text is not supposed to be taking any space in the question bank window, since if the question name is long that will fill up the available width and the question content will disappear anyway - though this was still temporarily broken at least some days ago, since Tim is working on the CSS it seems. So what good would the option do?
4. Need for this was verified in usability testing - since description is not a question at all, it does not belong in the drop down with the question types, and users will not search for it there. The name "description" is misleading - also in other languages than English - also this is alleviated by the separate button. I was about to delete the additional "label" text for consistency but I think Tim thought it makes things clearer.
5. Inconsistency in this scale is hardly an issue, but for users who do not know the special vocabulary of Moodle by heart ("Update this quiz" instead of "Settings" or "Options") it avoids getting lost and provides easy access to modifying the status of quiz.
6. The urgent need for the preview label was repeatedly shown in the usability testing for the UI. http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Quiz_UI_redesign#Prototype_testing
7. In order to facilitate scanning the page quickly, the labels are kept at the left hand side of the pages.
8. Cannot lose the wasted space, since in different languages the strings are longer and if the box is too small, the layout blows up. If the size could be set based on the language in use, that would be great, but it would be hard to implement and to manage the changes.
Am I wrong or in the right column of the "Edit" quiz page the check box to select all the question to move them into the quiz instance is not working?
If you didn't understand which control I am talking about, look at the attached screen shot.
"Order and paging" sub tab: Maybe but that's another issue i.e. users now have to navigate to another page in this interface to achieve things they can do on a single page in Moodle now.
1. Yes, it does that. That's exactly my point. Why duplicate the existing functionality on the page. Even if there is a good case to retain this it's counter intuitive. A feature in the QUIZ adds a question to the default category for the COURSE.
You haven't commented on the unnecessary duplication of options to add questions and descriptions.
2. I don't agree. The current interface proportions and duplication of feature is more confusing than the current model. In addition, how can it be a usability improvement to locate question bank settings (Display questions from sub-categories too, Also show old questions) at the bottom of a list of questions where they are not visible even on a 1280x1024 monitor?
3. On my install the question/description text is displayed. Agreed, that when the question name is present this should take precedence. The ability to display the question text is useful when attempting to identify the correct question to add to a quiz. Therefore this is useful in the edit page of the quiz.
4. Description is not a question: Yes, and the word "Description" is far from ideal. I could live with "Label" of the description item in the drop downs was changed. The current implementation of mix and match is the very worst solution. "Descriptions" are used in a variety of ways so we have the usual Moodle challenge to come up with a suitably generic alternative. Of the top of my head: Independent page content, Spacer?
5 I think you may have mis-understood my point. It is not the text in the link but the link itself. Why not button only as everywhere else?
6. Hmmm. But the rule is broken on the order and paging page.
7. OK. Still, it a lot of wasted space. How does that look in R --> L language packs?
8. OK, but doesn't that suggest that this layout is not successful?
9. The location of the question bank management link in the navigation bar is not a good idea. Users get used to that area for one aspect of navigation and this approach confuses that. This link should be in the same location as the Show course grades link in assignments.
Daniele, I implemented that recently, and it works for me. Which browser are you using?
Ray, you are coming to the party very late in the day, and you are being very negative. This was all talked about in the quiz forum while Olli was doing the usability testing on which these changes were based, and I am not in the mood to rehash these arguments now.
4. This sort of thing is called a label on the course page. We have not decided on the final string. Naturally changing a string is easy, once we reach a consensus what it should be. That is why we are leaving that for now.
I have been using this interface for some time, and it is quite nice. Now, whenever I have to go back and test something in Moodle 1.9, that is when I think 'yuck'.
Lateness: Yes, only so many hours in the day I'm afraid.
Negative: I hope not. Direct, certainly as I think these are important issues particularly the duplication (which I think I commented upon when this change was first mooted).
The proposed interface is certainly attractive, I suppose my principle concern is that we don't introduce an interface that is aesthetically pleasing but brings confusion through duplication and imprecise interface terminology. I see enough new Moodle users each year to understand the implications of this.
Just my tuppence.
The thing is - although usability is, at the end of the day, an different world altogether than graphical design, they do share characteristics. The Gestalt laws are a good example of principles used by good UI designers and graphical designers, because they play into how people perceive things. And the way a user perceives affects not only whether s/he finds the perceived pleasurable, but also can either facilitate or seriously hinder understanding what they see.
There is a basic division about issues of a UI that I find helpful (thanks to Gabriel Michel at the Uni of Metz who introduced me to this division) :
Perceptive (before understading; the user cannot properly perceive what there is)
Semantic/navigational (the user perceives the UI but does not understand what s/he perceives)
Action-related (the user understands what he sees but does not know how he can react to it; for example, to manipulate it)
"1. The Add new question drop down on the quiz page layout is confusing. It is not clear where the question will be added to [when the user does what?] (on the question bank you see the category name in drop down above). I added a question [using which dropdown?] and found that it was added to the category selected in the question bank, if there is a default set one would expect it to be the quiz category given the location of the button[which one].This needs to be removed it's confusing and is an unnecessary duplication. "
Returning to point 1., can you please explain which "add question" dropdown does what for you by default. (You can see what I did not understand about your comment in the quotation above.)
You indeed did bring this up earlier: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=103869&mode=3#p461611 And I replied with the fundamental reasoning behind the change. Please tell me if you are unable to connect all the dots there, I know the documentation is not ideal. The testing I did does not seem to suggest that users have problems identifying that one drop down is in the context of a quiz, and the other is in the context of the question bank. In addition, novice users actually only see one drop down, since the question bank is hidden by default. Challenging the design solution would then require either finding problems in the argumentation in the thread, or showing with usability testing results that what you speculate actually happens.
Tim, for me, too that checkbox for selecting all questions is problematic, since it does not actually get checked itself when you select it, only the actual checkboxes do. Also, I am not sure if it communicates sufficiently what it does - it seems to me that although in windowing applications they've used that way of selecting all checkboxes, in the web nowadays the links for selecting/unselecting all is more common. Of course, I suspect this is not a major issue, many users will probably find it eventually.
Question bank issues are better in
MDL-16345, which, you will note, is only half done. (I got bogged down on it for a bit, hopefully I am starting to make progress again now.) And there is now a sub-task for fixing the select-all checkbox. I have now confirmed my hunch, from the screenshot, that the problem is in Safari.
I've been pondering making the add question to this quiz dropdowns add the questions to the 'Default for Quiz XYZ' category. That keeps them better segregated in the question bank initially. If you later want to reuse them in another quiz in the same course, it is not hard to move them. So this may be better progressive disclosure, but I am not sure.
I don't have a problem with the duplication. I think there is a clear enough distinction between adding a question directly to the quiz, and adding it to the question bank for later use.
I am wondering if we should have a user pref. to remember whether you were last on the edit, or order and paging tabs. So, when you go away, and come back, you get back to the same one.
I am also wondering whether we should make 'Update this quiz' take you back to whichever quiz page you came from, rather than always having it dump you on the Info page.
> Daniele, I implemented that recently, and it works for me. Which browser are you using?
Ciao Tim
I am using FF on MacOS X.5.
Maybe I am waiing for the wrong behaviour.
What I expect is that by selecting the check box in the attachment (blue bordered) I get all the other check boxes, below in the same column, selected. Is this what I am supposed to expect?
Daniele, it is what you are supposed to expect.
"I am wondering if we should have a user pref. to remember whether you were last on the edit, or order and paging tabs. So, when you go away, and come back, you get back to the same one. "
I really do not know. It seems that this would suit the users that use primarily the reorder tab, which I suspect to be roughly the same group as the question bank oriented users. But it does bring inconsistency into the behaviour of the tabs. It would need to be tested, or we could wait for feedback - nobody has complained about this directly yet, but I am not sure if "the average user" would come to think that it could be the way you suggest above.
"I am also wondering whether we should make 'Update this quiz' take you back to whichever quiz page you came from, rather than always having it dump you on the Info page."
Yes, that is the only logical behaviour to expect it seems to me. But this needs to be consistent across modules. What happened to making update this quiz/settings a separate tab, though? This way, it could just always return to the same tab, just giving feedback that the settings were saved or that there were errors.
Tim, I am not sure if you are aware of this, but inside a random question box for a category that has questions I get now:
Did you remember to make the first column something unique in your call to get_records? Duplicate values found in column 'qtype'.
- line 475 of lib/dml/adodb_moodle_database.php: call to debugging()
- line 423 of lib/dml/adodb_moodle_database.php: call to adodb_moodle_database->adodb_recordset_to_array()
- line 913 of lib/dml/moodle_database.php: call to adodb_moodle_database->get_records_sql()
- line 886 of lib/dml/moodle_database.php: call to moodle_database->get_records_select()
- line 751 of mod/quiz/editlib.php: call to moodle_database->get_records_list()
- line 477 of mod/quiz/editlib.php: call to quiz_print_randomquestion()
- line 708 of mod/quiz/edit.php: call to quiz_print_question_list()
Oops. Non-unique first column problem fixed.
I suppose the current state, Edit or Order and paging, should be clear from the UI, so storing this in a user pref should not be too disorientating for users.
What to do about navigation has grown in scope and is currently being discussed in the General Developer Forum: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=115620. We probably need some decisions there, before we finalise some of these decisions about quiz editing UI.
Response to Olli
Date: 11/Feb/09 09:11 PM
See olli_1 screen shot for answer to which drop-down.
The drop-down in the quiz area and the Add description/label button are clearly associated with the quiz by virtue of their location. I (without the benefit of user testing or a research background in this field ) would expect that a question or description added from this location would, by default, be added to the default question category for the quiz. currently they are added to the default question category for the course.
So users in your testing may have identified the contexts for the drop-downs but the output i.e. question created doesn't follow that logic.
In practice, many users will need the question bank open so that they may add questions to the quiz. Adding deleting questions will probably be the most frequent action when viewing this page (why do you need to see this page when the quiz is finalised? focus then is on results). Consequently, as the interface is currently configured that see 2 create question drop-downs that do the same thing.
Let's not forget that under these conditions a description can be added from 3 locations.
Unfortunately I don't have time to revisit the discussion relating to these changes or commission usability testing to support my assertions.

"I am also wondering whether we should make 'Update this quiz' take you back to whichever quiz page you came from, rather than always having it dump you on the Info page."
On my install the link and button bearing this text take one to the quiz settings page. I am still of the opinion that the link is superfluous.
Yes, but after you click the 'Save and display' button on the quiz settings page, you are always taken back to mod/quiz/view.php. If you just wanted to change one setting while editing the quiz, that is annoying. It is where you go after clicking save and display that I was talking about.
The reason for the duplicate link is that the way the rest of the page work necessarily depends on the shuffle questions and questions per page options. That is why those options are displayed at the top. Is you see those settings there, and want to change them, is it clear that you should click the 'Update this quiz' button on the other side of the screen?
Whether the question bank is open or closed is closed for you is remembered permanently as a user preference, so once you have started to experiment with the question bank, it will stay open (but until you do, it will be closed, simplifying the interface.) I think that is good.
Making the dropdowns in the quiz area add question specifically to the part of the question bank private to this quiz is something I am considering. It is a very easy change - probably just one line of code.
"Yes, but after you click the 'Save and display' button on the quiz settings page, you are always taken back to mod/quiz/view.php. If you just wanted to change one setting while editing the quiz, that is annoying. It is where you go after clicking save and display that I was talking about. "
Indeed. But you should not introduce a new behaviour for this module only fro Save and display. This needs a separate button. Think carefully about how you describe this though. "Edit" has 2 meaning here - edit quiz settings or edit questions set up.
"The reason for the duplicate link is that the way the rest of the page work necessarily depends on the shuffle questions and questions per page options. That is why those options are displayed at the top. Is you see those settings there, and want to change them, is it clear that you should click the 'Update this quiz' button on the other side of the screen? "
It's as clear as it is for every other module and resource. This option adds another exception to the Moodle interface. And on the subject exceptions "Question Bank management" in the navigation bar is still a very bad idea. It's another exception "it works in this way, oh, apart from in here". Better moved below the update quiz button.
Just to make sure things get replied to (please tell me if there is still something unclear, this discussion is getting so long that I am not sure if I missed questions):
"2. I don't agree. The current interface proportions and duplication of feature is more confusing than the current model. In addition, how can it be a usability improvement to locate question bank settings (Display questions from sub-categories too, Also show old questions) at the bottom of a list of questions where they are not visible even on a 1280x1024 monitor?"
Priorities. These two settings are not by default central to the use case of editing a quiz, although they can be useful for managing the question bank. Give me a central use case where quiz editing requires showing questions that were deleted, or where we cannot assume that the reasonable default of showing questions from subcategories does not work most of the time?
"5 I think you may have mis-understood my point. It is not the text in the link but the link itself. Why not button only as everywhere else?"
Here the Moodle convention of the "update [module]" button is problematic, since it is not coherent with anything besides itself. As it is not changing tha standard button but adding another point of access to it, I do not see an issue here: links are for navigation and buttons for action, also in Moodle, with some single exceptions. See: http://www.guuui.com/posting.php?id=1978
"6. Hmmm. But the rule is broken on the order and paging page. "
There is no rule. There is an use case where the label is appropriate, and another one where it is not.
"7. OK. Still, it a lot of wasted space. How does that look in R --> L language packs? "
See: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=111241#p521824
"8. OK, but doesn't that suggest that this layout is not successful? "
Well, we could wait for the Perfect Web Browser to come around before doing any usability work at all. If you wish to cast your vote for this improvement, please do create a ticket for it.
We could always move the discussion to the quiz forum, where threading is better.
We finally slowed down after our upgrade, so I would love to suggest some things for the new quiz interface.
Is http://test.moodle.org/head/ is more or less up-to date? (I cannot test anywhere else, sorry!)
Do you know the trick that if you hover your mouse pointer over the Moodle logo at the bottom of the front page, you can see the Moodle version. http://test.moodle.org/head/ seems to be a few weeks out of date at the moment. I don't know who is responsible for updating it.
Marking this bug fixed. It is basically done. There are probably minor polish issues to be taken care of during the Moodle 2.0 QA cycle, but they can be handled through separate bugs.

From Burn Notice to Psych to White Collar, USA Network has an incredibly impressive resume of long-running hits.
According a recent Deadline report, however, a trio of recent offerings may not live to see another season.
COMMON LAW, for starters, has likely nabbed its final suspect. USA has let allowed the options on its stars' contracts run out and showrunner Craig Sweeny is now an executive producer on CBS' Elementary.
FAIRLY LEGAL, which barely received a second season renewal, is also unlikely to return next summer.
The odds for a third season of NECESSARY ROUGHNESS, meanwhile, stand at "50/50" according to a network insider.
If all get the axe, which of these programs will you miss the most?

|In response to Re: Bubbles in the toilet?
this exact thing happened to me and i went through the same troubleshooting process. you need roto rooter(or someone) to clean the roots out of the line between your house and the cities line. that fixed me right up! good luck.
: About a week ago our toilet started bubbling. We didn't think anything of it since it was working OK. But then, while I was bathing one day, we were running a load of laundry. The toilet started bubbling again, then the water from the washing maching started coming up the drain in the tub and the toilet backed up. My husband does maintenance and used a snake, (100 ft), to clean out the line from the toilet. We ran in to a few obstructions and cleared them out. Everything worked OK for a day or so, then it happened again. Again we brought out the snake and ran it the full length. That didn't work. We called the city and they came out yesterday and cleaned their lines. They said they pulled out a bunch of roots. Again, everything was OK for the rest of the day and this morning. Then I took a bath. While the tub was draining, the toilet started bubbling again and the tub stopped draining. I left it for about 1/2 hour and then came back. The tub had drained and the water level in the toilet bowl had dropped below normal. What are we missing?

Slim McGinn's name is synonymous with Milwaukee's Irish pubs. Whether he's served you a drink or you've dined and tipped a pint or two at one of his locally known, self-titled establishments, you've probably come across his name. In March of 2009, he finally brought the Slim McGinn name to Brookfield.
McGinn formerly owned Slim McGinn's in the Fifth Ward and then on Bluemound Road. He sold those businesses several years ago and opened up Slim McGinn's West at Hampton and Lisbon roads in the northeast corner of Brookfield, across the street from Menomonee Falls.
A proud graduate of Marquette University, McGinn gained his share of bar "experience" at a variety of Milwaukee watering holes. And yet, he describes his own place in simple terms: "We're an Irish Sports Bar."
McGinn's West has a warm, homey feel that is both energetic and welcoming. On a Monday night visit, when many restaurants have little if any business, McGinn's West was absolutely bustling. The dining room wraps around the serpentine bar, where patrons are either watching the many giant-screen TVs or engaging in conversation or a lively game of bar dice.
Hands-down, McGinn's is best known for its appetizer Reuben Rolls ($7.50). During the 11-day run at State Fair, McGinn's sells more than 15,000 of them at three stands. Another popular item is the Friday fish fry ($8.50 to $14.95), which features potato pancakes. Shepherd's pie ($9.75), a traditional Irish entrée, is definitely popular among McGinn's customers.
"I really want people to know how comfortable the place is," McGinn said. "They can come in, get a good meal in a relaxed atmosphere. It's not really a bar, and not really a restaurant."
No matter what you call it, Slim McGinn's West can appeal to all ages - must be that Irish hospitality.

Don Beaver
A star was born on Jan. 8, 1940 in Cushing, Okla. to Avery Burl and Lily Lauvell Beaver. Don Beaver was called to heaven on June 29, 2012 after only 72 short years. Don was raised in Shafter, Calif. until 1959 when his dad, who worked for Superior Oil Co., was transferred to Cortez. He lived in Cortez for two years then joined the Air Force. Don and Vickie Bewley met while he was stationed at Vandenburg Air Force Base. They dated for nine months then married on April 11, 1965, two days after he was discharged from the Air Force.
Four years later on July 2, 1969 they were blessed with a son, Sean. Don provided for his family by working for Union Oil Co. for 30 years. After that he got a part time job at Santa Maria Ford for almost 15 years. He retired in April 2011 for health reasons.
In his spare time, Don enjoyed doing projects around the house, going to Vegas, playing poker on the computer, playing canasta with family and friends, and going out to dinner. Vickie truly feels honored and blessed that God chose her to be his wife. And as difficult as it was for them to watch his journey end, it was even harder to say goodbye.
Don is survived by his wife of 47 years, Vickie, and son Sean of Santa Maria, Calif.; two sisters, Janis Abbey and husband Frank of Bakersfield, Calif. and Sandra Greenlee and husband Garth of Cortez; sister-in-law, Lorraine Bewley of Santa Maria; and numerous nieces and nephews.
At Dons request there will be no service.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Pulmonary Fibrosis foundation. Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Lori Family Mortuary, Santa Maria, Calif.

Patent Models: Textile and Sewing Machines
For much of the nineteenth century, inventors submitted a model with their patent application to the United States Patent Office. The National Museum of American History's patent model collection began with the acquisition of 284 models from the Patent Office in June 1908, and reached more than 1,000 models by the end of that summer. In 1926, Congress decided to dispense with the stored collection of models and gave the Smithsonian Institution the opportunity to collect any models it wanted. Today, the Museum's collection exceeds 10,000 patent models dating from 1836 to 1910.
The Museum's Textile Collection contains over four thousand patent models. The collection includes many examples of carding machines, spinning machines, knitting machines, rope making machines, looms, baskets, carpets, fabrics, and sewing machines. Even the simple clothespin is well represented, with 41 patent models.
This sampling of patent models from the Textile Collection describes the two major groupings, textile machinery and sewing machines. In both groups, the examination of the models begins with the earliest of the inventions. In this early group of patent models, the textile machinery models date from 1837 to 1840, and the sewing machine models from 1842 to 1854.
For more information about the Museum's patent model collection, see Patent Model Index, Guide to the Collections of the National Museum of American History.

1849 Bachelder's Patent Model of a Sewing Machine
- Description
- Sewing Machine Patent Model
- Patent No. 6439, issued May 8, 1849
- John Bachelder of Boston, Massachusetts
- John Bachelder of Boston, Massachusetts, submitted this sewing machine patent model for his Patent No. 6439, which was granted on May 8, 1849. Bachelder's machine sewed with a chain-stitch. He did not claim this chain-stitch mechanism as it was patented earlier in February in 1849 by Charles Morey and Joseph B. Johnson of Massachusetts. Instead he focused on improving the cloth feed. On this model, Bachelder used a wide continuous leather belt inserted with sharp pins to hold the cloth and enable the leather belt to move the cloth forward as it was being sewn. After being stitched, the fabric would be disengaged from the points by a curved piece of metal. This was the first patent for a continuous sewing, intermittent feeding mechanism.
- Although Bachelder did not manufacture his sewing machine, his patent and later reissues of it were bought by I. M. Singer, and became one of the central patents to form the Sewing Machine Combination in 1856. This organization consisted of three sewing machine manufacturers, I. M. Singer Co., Wheeler & Wilson Co., and the Grover & Baker Co., and the inventor, Elias Howe Jr., who all agreed to pool their important patents and stop patent litigations between them. This allowed them to move ahead with manufacturing and marketing of their own sewing machine and collect license fees from other companies wanting to use their patents.

Skip to comments.Exclusive: TheBlaze Interviews the Guy Fired for Berating a Chick-fil-A Employee
Posted on 08/03/2012 9:22:00 PM PDT by StAnDeliver
Should someone be fired from their job and threatened with violence, torture, even death because they have an opinion different than yours? Of course not. And yet, that is what Adam M. Smith of Arizona says happened to him.
Adam Smiths life has been turned upside-down in the 36 hours that followed his posting the video of his protest at Chick-fil-A, which involved letting a young, female employee at the drive-thru know what he thinks about the company. (You can watch the video here.)
We had an exclusive conversation with Smith where he shared his side of the story. Heres a taste of what he said:
He has lost his job as Chief Financial Officer at Vante. (Smith claims that he was not given a chance to really explain himself before being terminated)
His family has been threatened with violence and death. (At one point, his email account was getting 3 messages a minute, mostly vulgar and threatening)
Because his home address was made public, he cannot live in his house. (And Mr. Smith is a married father of four two of his children are adopted, special needs kids.)
Smith said that his original intent was to follow guidelines laid out in an online video, which included quoting a scripture.
Before the original Blaze story ran and then again following the news of Adams termination, I reached out to him for further comment and clarification. I wanted to see if he wanted to apologize or possibly speak with Rachel, the girl hes seen berating in the video. There was no comment or reply from Adam until early this morning.
Mr. Smith asked me to watch the video that he claims inspired him to act. It is a YouTube clip from a Christian writer named Jackson Pearce. In the video seen below, Ms. Pearce explains her thoughts on Chick-fil-A and suggests that people go to the restaurant on August 1st and ask for a large water and mention Proverbs 25:21, and if you video your protest, she will post it as a response.
Smiths initial reasoning for his protest at Chick-fil-A springs from his belief that same-sex marriage is a Human Rights issue and that any laws denying it must be changed. And he chose to protest against the restaurant using the method suggested in the above video.
After he returned home from his now-infamous protest, Smith posted the video as a response to the YouTube video on Ms. Pearces page. He claimed that this was the first video he ever posted on YouTube. He later walked that statement back saying that he had only posted a few personal family videos, but nothing of a political or protest nature.
Shortly after his video reply hit YouTube, Smith claims that threats started hitting his email inbox. Threats to his family and to himself. So, he removed the video as quickly as he could, but it had already been saved and was in the process of being re-posted by others. One re-poster is tied to the group Stormfront.org. In fact, before he actually spoke with me on the telephone, at 9:34 this morning, Adam sent an email stating:

The link he attached to that email took me to a blog site from someone who identifies themselves as Florida Squeezed. The headline of the post read:
Chick-Fil-A Becomes Iconic for Neo-NAZIS & Tea Party
Young-Adult fiction writers idea accidentally leads to Arizona Chick-Fil-A protester being cyber-bullied by White Power website based in West Palm Beach, Florida
I was a bit confused by this. Was Smith now claiming that he was the victim of cyber-bullies that he claims are Neo-Nazis? No. He wanted me to see how Stormfront.org had re-posted his initial video and also added his contact information. As the video went viral, the threats and emails increased.
My inbox was getting 2-3 emails per minute, he explained via phone. He added later: Im not even at my house, you dont know that. I cant live in my house right now. Im in an undisclosed location right now.
I wondered about his terminations. Did both the biotech manufacturing company (Vante) and the college react without giving a hearing?
According to him, The college has not fired me at this point.
When asked if there is any chance to appeal his abrupt termination from Vante, Smith said he doesnt not have legal counsel and thus has no idea.
So often in cases like this, a lawyer or law firm will step up and offer to assist, so I wondered if anyone had made such a proposal:
I dont think anyone can find me right now. I cant find the emails through my ***** account because it took me an hour to find your email, and I knew you did it, I knew you sent it, and it took me an hour.
Smith started reading off some of the offensive emails he was receiving, telling me how people were referring to him and his family:
Im a fa**ot, Im so glad you got fired, its so funny, I hope youre slitting your wrists, your kids have a horrible example of a father, ya know, all kinds of real tolerant stuff . Ya know, they have free speech so great they can do whatever they want they can do it.
So given all the fallout, I wanted to know if he cared to see Rachel again. If you encountered her again, what would you say to her? I asked.
I will say to her what I will say to her and I will figure out what the right words are, he responded. And then he shed a little more light, saying that he had already gone back to Chick-fil-A the next morning to talk to Rachel.
She refused to talk to him.
I wanted to see if she was OK, thats all, he explained. She was actually working there, and her manager went to get her and she wouldnt come back.
Considering the controversy thats erupted, you cant really blame her.
By the way, we have repeatedly reached out to his former employer Vante for comment and have not yet received a reply.
If all of these jerks had just read what Mr.Cathy has said they would have been better off.
The man said He Believes in the Traditional Bible definition of Marriage,That Being between a Man a A woman,he did not say he was Anti Gay or hated Gays or any of that crap.
a m f.
Believe it! Wow, he's attacking his own ex-employer Vante! You're not getting your job back, douchelord.
Don't count on it. The media will turn him into the victim, make him a hero/martyr, Vante will be forced to re-hire him (after paying him damages), and the girl in the drive-thru window will have to apologize to him.
No doubt Vante is increasingly satisfied with their decision.
Leftists have NO moral compass.
Adam said in his 'apology' that he originally wanted to use a Bible quote. This is the newest liberal 'thing'. They want to use the Bible against us. They think it's cool - like a grade school taunt... Maybe we should be half as cool and find self-serving quotes from gay people... and use them. Gads, dealing with liberals is like dealing with mean spirited 4th graders...
I DO wish people would stop referring to Mr. Smith as a refreshing feminine product.
I prefer the term 'jockstrap'....sweaty, stinky and you don't want to touch it even WITH a 10 foot pole.
I was watching this video and trying to figure out what it reminded me of. Then it struck me...
Not to say this guy is a psychopathic jerk like the Joker. But Heath Ledger's amazing potrayal of "crazy" includes many similar styles.
Good recap of his future chances in the business world. I'm sure he and his wife understand this completely. Can you imagine their private discussions about now? Divorce and estrangement can't be far behind. His life is ruined.
Unless she is even nuttier than he is. But then again, hunger and no protection from the elements has a funny way of realigning some people's thinking.
Liberalism is a evil cult. He insulted 80% of America and deserves what he gets.
Pray for America
And they always accuse us of taking things out of context. Continual proof of their utter intolerance and hypocrisy on parade, over and over and over again.
We need to only start treating them like Bugs did to Yosemite Sam.
My company's business conduct code requires us to maintain the same corporate values on and off the job. That is to say that you can be terminated if you embarrass the company. If this jerk's company had a similar policy they were following the corporate policies that someone at his level should have been well aware.
This reminds me of Nancy "Giant Gavel" Pelosi and the black caucus nasties using the public entrance that they never use in order to march through the Tea Party crowd in hopes of provoking an incident when they voted on the health care bill for the 'made for television president'.
You can drop them a comment here email@example.com
It's a Dawkinist/new atheist thing. Almost always OT (Old Testament) and OT (off topic).
If you can really school them, though, they get frustrated...select NT passages and Proverbs 31:10 usually cast them out...
This bunch was a little different but too clever for their own good. They wanted to use Proverbs 25:21 going through drive-thrus, at the behest of this squirrely GenY chick JacksonPearce (and Smith couldn't even remember the verse in the drive-thru! And yet he called himself a 'Christian for 25 years up till last year' in another video...read yer Bible much, Adam?); but they all neglected to read ahead -- Proverbs 25:21 was meant for us, not for them:
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,and the Lord will reward you.
I fell for the earlier, teaser article at The Blaze. Returned to find the full report to be a layer cake of nuttiness. All it needs is a dose of chemtrails and 911 truth for it to be worthy of a cross-post at Alex Jones.
Not nutty enough for the author, he had to add the creepy opinion piece at the very end. Reveling in that stalker code phrase, "...check on Rachael." Made my skin crawl. That article's last paragraph alone could qualify as evidence to gain a protective order in my home state.
So, this whole Smith thing turns out to be nothing about gay. It's all about rabid atheism, and the zeal of a new convert to darkness. The article malevolently tries to divert us, IMO.
StAnDeliver, please accept my thanks for your follow-up.
So now he's an unemployed Nazi. Good riddance of another liberal lefty Nazi d@bag.
A 100% total douchbag, piece of human scum, jerk.
And, as usual, being a stupid, retarded libearl, he doesn't even "get it" on what the inane "boycott" is about.
Agreed. She did an amazing job not firing back, but her face definately told the tale. She did take it personally - especially towards the end when he got into the "how do you live with yourself" angle.
Sympathy for the guilty is treason to the innocent.
He thinks that someone should not be fired for having an opinion that is different. Yet he was hoping to damage Chik-Fil-A's business. If asked beforehand I'll bet he would have wanted to shut down Chik-Fil-A which would mean ALL of its employees would lose their jobs because of the opinion of the CEO which they may or may not share. A bit hypocritical, no?
In addition to the public relations fiasco, I would have fired him for:
1. being an idiot
2. being a bully
3. having terrible judgment
4. being so self-absorbed that he thinks everything is about him.
Seriously, what did he think he was going to accomplish? What was the whole point of making the video. (Hint: Me, me, me.) Did he show the slightest empathy or humanity toward the server? No. Although she looks to be much, much younger than he is, she had remarkable composure and demonstrated grace under pressure.
Not necessarily....she could be afraid of the idiot. Just think of the people that go on a shooting rampage when their stupidity gets them in trouble and they take it out on others. I don't blame her a bit for not going anywhere near him.
Hey Stal.."So, this whole Smith thing turns out to be nothing about gay. Its all about rabid atheism, and the zeal of a new convert to darkness."
I have been saying this all along. This whole thing is a media-orchestrated attack on Christianity. The media twisted an interview, through in some garbage re how the Southern Poverty Law Center says the groups CFA supports have an active squash gay rights agenda then the media and politicians went about painting the CFA owner as some rabid anti-gay monster! It's insane!
It's like saying, I have a dog and support the AKC,,,then having the media twist that into saying I hate cats and work with groups who are anti-cat. It's nuts.
The media has wayyy too much power...and that bunch is scarier than President O

"Shes not over it. He did some damage. What an ass of monumental proportions."
I would bet she was in tears after he finally dragged his sorry ass off of the place.
Why would the Blaze give this jerk any air time?
Why would the Blaze give this jerk any air time?
Theres been a lot of speculation about Rachels reaction and what was going on in her head when this D-Bag was ranting."
Maybe she thought she was facing an Aurora Colorado moment. Who knows, maybe she still has nightmares.
I am glad thus jerk got the fame he wanted. Now stew in it.
He said he got back to the office and their voicemail was jammed to capacity (300 voicemails, all complaining about him.)
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see the idiots face when he knew the jig was up.
Maybe Chick-Fil-A will hire him. They could let that girl teach him how to work the window and how to handle self righteous douche bags.
I never considered that. He is "out there" after all. He could retaliate since he lost his job. Could also be Chick-Fil-A told her to stay away from him.
Guys.......I just ran across this. Adam is an atheist and has wiped this from his YT account.....but SOMEBODY saved it. Here he is berating a man carrying a cross on Good Friday.
You have to admit though that it's very likely with his information being posted online that he has been a target. Do you think that is right? Do you think it fair that he receive death threats?
I hope to God that while you can feel it's fair he got fired that nobody thinks he is getting what he deserves. How Christian do Christians look when they are hoping he and his family die?
Therefore, the typical, excessive behavior associated with leftists, ie death threats, can occur due to there being no moral guiding force to prohibit such behavior as far as such individuals are concerned.
Has it actually been clearly established, though, that death threats have even been received by this man, let alone anyone having actually ascertained the religious beliefs of those communicating such? Or, is it all presumption, yet again, intended to put Christians in as negative a light as possible?
This guy was fired "with cause". That means he won't even be able to collect unemployment.
It amazes me how stupid some "smart" people are. Any and every thing posted on the internet will always be there.
mr Smiths children will perhaps learn a valuable lesson about the consequences of not controlling one's temper, tongue & judging. maybe those who know him or his family might explain to them the principle of reciprocity.
"When the scoffer is punished, the naive[simple] becomes wise; But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge."
Prov 21:11 NAS
"The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence."
Prov 10:11 NAS
Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned. 38Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measurepressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return. Luke 6:37 NAS
I think the biggest disconnect in the progressive mindset is that to them, everything is relative. They childishly define their own words and build their entire worldview from the inside out.
To them words aren't taken for their actual meaning. Vulgar, threatening, hate, bigotry. These words all create 'bad' feelings, so to them, they all must mean the same thing.
Rational people know being nasty, endangering someone, and being mean or judgmental are nowhere NEAR the same thing.
And I, for one, am heartily tired of the puerile little pukes confusing the word 'tolerance' with DOORMAT!
It will be if Obama gets reelected,we will be bowing to communist,fags, black panthers, and the lot of the filthy of this world..
Well I think it's clear that any "Christian" that would issue a death threat to him doesn't speak for all Christians either.
It just seemed important to me that even though the guy is a loud mouth liberal jerk that us Christians should keep our heads above it all.
If Smith did receive a credible threat, the entire Tucson LEO community is there for him to reach out to. So where is the proof of that? If he can't provide proof to The Blaze, it's a certainty you can't. There's no evidence other than Smith's word. And he is a proven liar, as he told The Blaze, 'I never posted videos to YT before that one hurr durr oh wait yes I did, a lot of them actually and I even posted a video of me interrogating a Cross-carrying man on Good Friday'.
So there's no reason to believe anything he says. At all.
To me, it is not a stretch of the imagination to visualize his wife and/or one of his children asking "why did you do that?", followed by a violent reaction from him, and their lives being snuffed out.
I pray that they will be safe, and I pray that he will not direct his anger and frustration towards them.
That would be a brilliant PR move.
Live the bible and show forgiveness and check mate the fired a-hole and the MSM in one fell swoop. Brilliant.
It's all the same to that bunch. So, in their view, he did say it.
Well, he's right, and they....suck.

Course Outline
Humanity's Ecological Footprint
Essential Question
How has human impact on ecosystems changed over time through the early stages of civilization development to today's industrialized and growing societies?
The Big Idea
Over the course of time, humanity's impact on the earth has grown from small regional effects to large-scale disruptions. At present, there are very significant challenges we face as a global civilization: climate change, species extinction, deforestation, resource depletion, and widespread economic inequality. By 2050, Earth will be host to between 9 and 10 billion humans. With a population of this size and with growing per capita resource use, humanity has an enormous and increasing impact on the ecological systems on which it depends. This unit explores the concept of ecological footprint: a measure of human resource use and pollution, compared with the Earth's capacity to regenerate, called biocapacity. When we use ecological footprints to compare different modes of living, it can point the way towards a sustainable society.
Topics Covered:
- The Ecological Footprint Concept
- Emergence of Modern Humans and the Development of Agriculture
- Population Growth and Carrying Capacity
- The Industrial Revolution
- Variations in Ecological Footprint
- Climate Change and its Causes
- Climate Change Effects
- Carbon Footprints
Primary Sustainability Issues: Energy, Food, Water and Pollution
Essential Question
What are the primary ways in which impact measurements are useful tools and what are the long-term effects of human ecological footprints?
The Big Idea
Several sustainability issues stand out for their vital importance to humanity: energy, food, water, and toxic pollution. A great deal of the day-to-day work of sustainability is focusing on making these focus areas work better for people and fit into the ecological systems of the planet. Transforming them is presenting enormous challenges, but people around the world are becoming increasingly engaged with this important task.
This unit covers the following topics:
- The Central Role of Energy
- Sustainable Agriculture
- Sustainable Water Systems
- Industrial Pollution and Toxins

"The quality of these sandals appears to be very good, and they look lovely on. However, they arrived with multiple old price tags and even a security tag. Further the leather was very much in need of conditioning. If the sandals I received are any indication, be prepared to do a little clean-up work before wearing these out.Note too, that there were discrepancies between the description and what was received. The color is pearl which is off-white, not white. Also, tags on the sandals indicate that the soles are leather not synthetic. For me, these differences are a plus."

Harlequins will have ace fly-half Nick Evans available to them when they host Exeter in a Aviva Premiership clash on Saturday.
Harlequins will have the services of ace fly-half Nick Evans available to them when they host Exeter in a Aviva Premiership clash on Saturday.
Evans has been sidelined by an ankle injury but returns to action at the expense of Ben Botica who drops to the bench.
Conor O'Shea has made two further changes to the team that beat Sale last weekend. Skipper Nick Easter moves from number eight into the second row in place of Charlie Matthews with Tom Guest taking over at the back of the scrum.
Exter enter the encounter with the defending champions on a high after thrashing London Welsh 47-16 last time out.
"Last week was a very good performance from us, but now we've got to make sure London Welsh was not a one-off performance and that we show the same enthusiasm and attacking intent for the rest of the season," commented Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter.
The victory came at a price though, with prop Hoani Tui, lock Dean Mumm and centre Jason Shoemark all ruled out through injury. The trio are replaced by Alex Brown, Damian Welch and Phil Dollman respectively.
Form: After ending an unwanted run of five-consecutive Aviva Premiership loses with a 47-16 win against London Welsh last time out at Sandy Park – Exeter head to table-topping Quins this weekend looking to build some much-needed momentum. The Chiefs are currently in eighth position in the Premiership table and are seven points behind sixth-placed Northampton Saints. Exeter is one of only four sides to have beaten Harlequins in the Premiership this season – they won 42-28 in October – and are chasing a first ever league double over the Londoners. The Chiefs have lost on all three previous visits to the Stoop in all competitions
The teams:
Harlequins: 15 Ollie Lindsay-Hague, 14 Tom Williams, 13 Matt Hopper, 12 Jordan Turner-Hall, 11 Ugo Monye, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Karl Dickson, 8 Tom Guest, 7 Luke Wallace, 6 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 5 George Robson, 4 Nick Easter (C), 3 James Johnston, 2 Joe Gray, 1 Mark Lambert.
Replacements: 16 Rob Buchanan, 17 Darryl Marfo, 18 Will Collier, 19 Charlie Matthews, 20 Joe Trayfoot, 21 Jordan Burns, 22 Ben Botica, 23 George Lowe.
Exeter Chiefs: 15 Luke Arscott, 14 Jack Nowell, 13 Sireli Naqelevuki, 12 Phil Dollman, 11 Matt Jess, 10 Gareth Steenson, 9 Haydn Thomas, 8 Richard Baxter, 7 James Scaysbrook, 6 Ben White, 5 Damian Welch, 4 Tom Hayes, 3 Alex Brown, 2 Jack Yeandle, 1 Carl Rimmer.
Replacements: 16 Neil Clark, 17 Ben Moon, 18 Craig Mitchell, 19 James Hanks, 20 Dave Ewers, 21 Will Chudley, 22 Ignacio Mieres, 23 Ian Whitten.
