Five ESPN expets list the three things they would most like to change about college football:
Bill Curry
1. Gain some perspective -- I call this one Fantasy Island (if one is anywhere near Tuscaloosa we could change it to legendary barbeque spot Dreamland). Here goes: Let us all agree that we are going to be sane about what constitutes a successful football season! If Mack Brown of Texas wins more games in six years than any coach in school history, if Frank Solich is 9-3 at Nebraska, if Tyrone Willingham is struggling while making serious positive history at Notre Dame, we agree to give them a reasonable chance to continue to build. We agree to such with a straight face.
2. Re-think overtime -- Dave Barnett and I have had the privilege of broadcasting the two longest Division I college football games ever played. Arkansas won both of them, over Ole Miss in 2002 and Kentucky in 2003. Each went seven overtimes and seemed to last forever. I recall the big defensive linemen being gassed after the first two or three OT periods. The remainder of each game was a matter of which offense screwed it up first because the defensive fronts were helpless. My primary concern shifted from the score of the game to the possibility of serious injury among the exhausted defenders. They were at terrible risk both times. I would like to see two changes to the current overtime rules: start the ball from the 35-yard line rather then the 25, and if the score is still tied at the end of three OT periods call it a draw and go home!
3. New neutral zone rule -- There is an irritating and unnecessary rule in college football that most people do not understand. If a defender jumps into the neutral zone and gets back prior to the snap but causes the offensive lineman directly across from him or an adjacent lineman to move before the snap, the penalty is on the defense. If anyone else on the offense jumps, though, the flag is on the offense. This makes for rapid-fire, often incorrect calls from officials and confusion among the players. I say change the thing so either any movement from the offense draws a penalty on the defense, or go back to the old rule under which the offense must sit tight no matter what.
Jim Donnan
1. Institute a playoff -- The current BCS system is better than anything else that has been tried, but we still need to see the national championship, and the teams who play in the championship game, decided on the field.
2. Pass interference rule -- College football should institute the same penalty as the NFL for pass interference. The rule in college calls for a 15-yard penalty and an automatic first down while the NFL marks the penalty off to the spot of the foul before awarding a first down. A college defender who is beaten deep down the field can simply decide to tackle the receiver, preventing a big play and costing his team fewer yards. The NFL rule is more equitable, punishing defenders who commit pass interference purposely.
3. More scholarships -- Division I-A teams need more players. Depth is important for games and practice situations and teams are sometimes hamstrung by a lack of healthy players. More scholarships would remedy that and allow coaches to have all the players they need to make their programs successful.
Kirk Herbstreit
1. Change the BCS -- I'm a traditionalist who loves bowl games and the inter-sectional matchups they create, but the BCS has put too much emphasis on one game and taken attention away from the fact that so many teams end their seasons on a high note after winning a bowl game. Fans should accept the fact that the university presidents will not institute a playoff system, but the BCS can be tweaked. The plus-one theory -- which would match up the top two teams after the BCS bowls have been played -- would give the fans a chance to one last game for the national championship and give a chance to the teams that have a legitimate beef over being left out of the BCS championship game.
2. Fewer bowl games -- I'm not against rewarding small schools for good years, but college football has thinned out the bowl season and I scratch my head every time I see a 6-5 team in a bowl. People who don't follow college football year-round get the impression from mid-December games that no one cares because they turn on the television and see empty seats. In reality, those are games that probably shouldn't be played in the first place. Players should be rewarded for special seasons, not average ones. The minimum requirement for postseason play should be at least seven wins.
3. Return to 100 scholarships -- This goes against all my friends who are in favor of Title IX, and while I'm in favor of equal opportunities it is a shame that men's programs are forced to eliminate scholarships and roster spots to achieve that equality. Football unfairly skews the numbers used to determine athletic equality and should stand alone where that is concerned, because I'm shocked when I visit campuses and see just how thin teams are in terms of depth, especially along the offensive and defensive lines. Giving coaches only 85 scholarships forces them to put players on the field before they're physically and mentally ready, which is bad for the team and the player, and more scholarships would remedy that.
Mel Kiper Jr.
1. Run the clock -- College football needs to employ the NFL rule which allows the clock to run after first downs. In the NFL the chains are moved and the ball is spotted as the clock continues to wind down, while in college the clock is stopped after a first down is gained and is not started again until an official spots the ball and gives a signal. The result is college games that are approaching four hours, which is okay for the diehard fans but leaves something to be desired for the casual fan. People do not want to spend that much of their day at a stadium or in front of a television and college football would be better served to run the clock and shorten games as much as possible.
2. Fewer Bowl games -- With 28 bowl games now being played the bowl season has been watered down. The desire to get as many teams as possible into the postseason is understandable, but when there are 56 spots to be filled and some are being taken by teams that finish the season 6-6 there is a problem. There is invariably some team with eight or nine wins left out in favor of a team that finished seventh in a BCS conference and that needs to be fixed. The number of games also requires the bowl season to start in mid-December, dragging it out too long and taking away from the significance of New Years Day. Jan. 1 used to be a special day for football fans, but with so much football being played before that day and the BCS games stretched out over the first five or six days of January the special quality is gone from New Years and we need to get back to that.
3. We need a playoff -- College football needs to determine its national championship on the field. The BCS gave us a split championship last year and plenty of debate about who belonged in the BCS championship game in previous years. The system in place is the best we've been able to come up with, but adding a playoff after the bowl season would allow for fewer bowl games and a return to significance for New Year's Day, while also allowing for lucrative payouts and a champion decided between the lines.
Ivan Maisel
1. More humans, fewer numbers -- I like the new BCS formula. It's an improvement over the confusing list of components that used to determine which deserving team would get left out of the national championship game. Now, get rid of the formula. Appoint a committee of commissioners, coaches and athletic directors from among the 11 I-A conferences. That's what the NCAA does in every other sport, and if anyone complains of being treated unfairly, no one pays attention any longer.
2. Take the fifth -- Give the players a fifth year of eligibility. It will alleviate the pressure to redshirt. It will alleviate the pressure to graduate in four years. It will alleviate the pain caused by players who leave early for the NFL.
3. Help the offenses -- LSU coach Nick Saban, who is to defense what Usher is music, is also an influential member of the Football Rules Committee. Saban believes that the game is tilted a little toward offense right now. He doesn't have a problem with it, and neither do I. In fact, I would do more: bring back the tackle-eligible pass. Bring back the fumblerooskie.

SEAT Leon Cupra review
Breathtaking pace and everyday practicality make the SEAT Leon Cupra a formidable, if low-key, hot hatch
We named the SEAT Leon Cupra as our Hot Hatch of the Year in both our 2014 and 2015 New Car Awards. Blending blistering performance and sharp handling with good looks and great value, the go faster Leon is a hugely desirable high performance machine that also happens to have room for the family.
However, SEAT has made the best even better with the launch of the Cupra 290. Featuring a 10bhp power boost over the old car, plus a host of small trim revisions, it's more desirable than ever.
Like before, the Leon Cupra punches above its price tag and comes with equipment you have to pay extra for on the Volkswagen Golf GTI. But it's not all about searing pace and sharp looks, the SEAT Leon Cupra also has a softer side for when you want to take things easy.
Peel back the skin of the SEAT Leon Cupra and most of what you'll find is identical to the Volkswagen Golf GTI. Both cars sit on Volkswagen's lightweight MQB architecture, both use a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine and both send power through the front wheels. But while the Golf is available with either 217bhp or 227bhp with the Performance Pack fitted, the Leon Cupra packs a massive 286bhp under its bonnet.
Despite only costing a fraction more than the Golf, model for model, the SEAT Leon Cupra comes with a front limited slip differential as standard and three-stage adaptive dampers. You can choose between a five-door or a shorter-wheelbase three-door model, plus there's even a versatile ST estate model. Lowered suspension and variable-ratio steering ensure its quick in the corners, but soften off the suspension and the Cupra is happy to waft around like a standard Leon.
Our choice: SEAT Leon Cupra 290 5dr
Engines, performance and drive
The SEAT Leon Cupra is powered by the Volkswagen Group's tried and tested EA888 2.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine, although its power has been turned up to a healthy 286bhp, making the Leon Cupra one of the most potent hot hatchbacks on the road. Previously, that would have plagued the front-wheel-drive SEAT Leon with masses of torque steer, but the addition of a limited-slip diff and SEAT's clever XDS electronics mean it's hugely capable in corners. The former shuffles power across the front axle and can send up to 100 percent of the engine's torque to an individual wheel to make the most of the available grip, while the later tweaks the brakes to help keep the Leon's nose locked on your chosen line.
Turn in at high speed, and the SEAT Leon Cupra simply tucks its nose into the bend and sticks to its line, as the electronically controlled differential suppresses understeer and boosts traction. It's not as effective as the VW Golf R's four-wheel drive transmission, but it stil manages to find grip even in slippery conditions. The steering is wheel weighted and direct, yet it's also perfectly progressive, allowing you to place the car smoothly and accurately.
Standard adaptive dampers also play their part in the Cupra's impressive agility. In the stiffest Cupra setting there's rock solid body control with barely any roll through corners. Yet there's enough softness to allow the car to effectively smother mid-corner bumps.
Unlike lower-spec cars in the SEAT Leon range, you can fully disengage the stability control on the Cupra, which allows you to explore the limits of its ability on the track. Still, you'll be travelling at quite a rate before it breaks loose.
Tuned to 286bhp, the 2.0-litre turbo engine is so smooth and pulls hard from low down. The 350Nm torque peak now occurs over a wider rev-range (1,700rpm to 5,800rpm), so there even greater mid-range muscle that allows for lazy overtakes so you don't have to always be changing gears, and a wild top end with a ferocious rush to the rev limiter. SEAT claims the six-speed manual car will cover the 0-62mph sprint in a scorching 5.8 seconds, while the launch controlled-equipped DSG version shaves a tenth of a second off this time. All Cupra 290 models are electronically limited to 155mph.
It's a great performance engine matched to a light but sweet six-speed manual gearbox that involves you in the experience more than the dual-clutch alternative. The Cupra's hi-tech approach to going quickly extends to its suspension thanks to adaptive dampers. You can choose between Comfort, Normal, and Cupra (sport) modes to control the firmness of the dampers (plus the throttle response and steering weight), but even in the stiffest setting the Leon isn't unbearable. There's a huge amount of cornering grip on offer, and the car is huge fun to thread through a series of bends.
The steering is light but precise, and means the SEAT's front end feels pointy. Quick direction changes are easy thanks to great body control and is stable during stopping tests.
To show off the Cupra's immense performance, SEAT set a new Nurburgring front-wheel drive lap record of 7 minutes 58 seconds (although Renault has since stolen it back with the Megane RS 275 Trophy-R). That car was fitted with a Sub 8 pack, which is now available to customers. It adds bigger Brembo brakes, semi-slick Michelin tyres, lightweight 19-inch wheels and chunkier side sills. For customers that plan on attending track days regularly, the Sub 8 pack is a must.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
Even though the Cupra is the flagship of the Leon line, it still uses the same running gear as the rest of the Leon range, albeit in upgraded form. Fortunately, this also means the SEAT Leon Cupra has the same five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating. What's more, LED headlights, a clever diff and an enhanced stability control system help it feel even more secure on the road.
SEAT dealers came bottom in our Driver Power 2013 satisfaction survey, so you may not receive the best service from them if you do decide to take the plunge with the Cupra. However, in light of these results, the brand is likely to make changes that will help to improve the customer experience.
Interior, design and technology
The SEAT Leon uses the Volkswagen Group's MQB platform, so it shares its running gear with the Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3 and Skoda Octavia. However, it's arguable that the SEAT Leon is better looking, especially in three-door SC guise.
The standard SEAT Leon has a sharp nose, well defined creases in the bodywork and a tidy rear - all of which give it a sporty appearance - while the flagship SEAT Leon Cupra model gets a few more enhancements. The biggest change is the addition of large 19-inch polished alloys on Cupra 290 models and bright red brake calipers.
The bright LED headlights found on the SEAT Leon Cupra are standard and there's a subtle chequered flag badge on the grille, while larger air intakes and gloss black trim have been added behind the number plate. SEAT also gives the Leon Cupra a bigger roof spoiler, twin oval exhausts at the back and Cupra lettering across the tailgate, but the reality is that only diehard hot hatch fans will be able to recognise a Cupra model over a lower-spec Leon FR.
Compared to some rivals, the Leon has a premium feel inside. The stylised dials are still clear, with a well balanced mix between the analogue gauges and the central driver information screen. There's also an updated Full Link infotainment system that adds useful features such as sat-nav and a MirrorLink functions for smartphones.
The SEAT's defined lines outside are reflected on the inside, with intersecting angles making up the dashboard and centre console layout. The interior design is highlighted by LED lighting on the doors, which changes colour from white to red depending on the driving mode selected.
You can spec a £1,055 Cupra leather pack, which adds electric heated leather seats. There's also the option of the £1,265 high-backed Cupra bucket seats, although they aren't full buckets and don't support you quite as well as those in the likes of the Honda Civic Type R or Renaultsport Megane, but they're much more comfortable on long journeys and still hold you in place well enough.
However, while the SEAT's interior is smartly styled, solidly built and comfortable, it lacks the racy touches of some rivals. There's a smattering of Cupra logos, some white stitching for the steering wheel and a metal finish for the pedals, but other than that it's standard Leon. For many buyers this sensible approach will be a big draw, but it's a shame that a car as special as the Cupra doesn't feel very exciting on the inside.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
The practicality of your SEAT Leon Cupra depends on which model you go for. The three-door Leon SC model has a wheelbase that's 52mm shorter than the five-door Cupra, which chops down rear legroom slightly, and the more sloping roof also means there's a few mm less headroom. However, SEAT has managed to maintain the exact same boot space for both models but at 380-litres, although that's still 25-litres down on the Renault Megane.
Fold down the rear seats in the SEAT Leon Cupra and its boot space increases to a substantial 1,210-litres - however, a step in the floor of every SEAT Leon stops you sliding heavy objects all the way in. Nevertheless, hooks for your shopping bags and a lower load lip are useful additions.
It's clear that the SEAT Leon has been designed from the outset not only to look good, but to be used as a family car. Wide door openings, enough rear head and leg room for adults – even in the SC – and spacious front seats make it perfect for long journeys. There are plenty of cubby holes dotted around, too, in the centre console, glove box and door bins.
For buyers who want the ultimate is pace and space, then there's the ST estate version. Like the standard model it gets a healthy 587-litres of carrying capacity, which stretches to 1,470-litres with the 60/40 split/fold rear bench lowered. Compact estate rivals such as the Peugeot 308 SW and Skoda Octavia offer more room, but the Leon delivers a number of useful additions. For instance, there's a split level boot floor with an area to store the load cover when its not in use. Also included are handy levers to lower the seats in one movement.
Reliability and Safety
SEAT made a big overall improvement in our Driver Power 2015 survey, climbing nine places to 15th. Yet middling reliability and poor dealer service (its network finished bottom of 32 manufacturers in our most recent dealer poll) tarnish the Cupra's image.
The Leon should be reliable, though, and was voted the fourth best car to live with in Driver Power 2015, so this performance variant should be no different. It leads the way in the airbag count, offering seven in total, plus with LED headlights and the option of lane assist, it gets a full five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

There are many words for fool in Yiddish and many types of fools in Yiddish literature: clever fools like Hershel Ostropolier, witless fools like the residents of Chelm, and a variety of luckless fools, whether schlemiels or schlimazls.

A lovely place to go
My husband and I have just spent a 4 night break here and had the most wonderful time. The room was super and the staff were very helpful, although my husband did have to run to reception to see where the champagne and roses were that he had arranged for me, as it was our 25th wedding anniversary. They helped us by sorting out a nice restaurant for our anniversary meal too.. It was really well positioned too, just outside of the station, so no worrying about lugging suitcases too far. We would definately stay here again.
Great position
Just returned from a 4 day stay in this hotel. What a perfect position, a few steps away from the Eurostar Station and a pleasant jaunt to the town centre and old town. A plus is the situation of the Eurolille shopping centre, which looks nothing from the outside, but once inside, the fabulous array of shops will tease the euros out of your purses. Can't think of any down side to the hotel, apart from ensuring that you breakfast before 9am after which time the items from the hot buffet breakfast seem to disappear and do not get replenished. The staff are really friendly and the service is great. The food in the evening is really good with a fair choice. Rooms are very clean and spacious with very good facilities. If it is your first visit to this area of France you will need to be aware that the shops all CLOSE on Sundays (including the big Euorlille Centre) and on Mondays, the old town shops do not open until 2pm!! But the centre is ok on weekdays and Saturdays. The nicest place for lunch french style is Paul restaurant inside the shopping centre, yummy choice of savoury and pastry goodies. A superb weekend break.
Reallt Nice Hotel
Have just returned from a one night stay at this very modern hotel. It is located in an ideal location for the Eurostar terminal only being a 4 minute walk away the train platform. We arrived at 09:20 in the morning and we were checked straight in and given access to our room. We had a King Business room on the 10th floor. Our view was fabulous and was of the city side of Lille. The decoration of the room is very modern with all the things that you would expect including mini bar, iron/ iron board, TV and DVD player. Bed was very comfortable with nice pillows.
The design of the bathroom is a bit strange in that the walls are made of glass. Probably not ideal if you are sharing with a friend/ parents. The toilet however is situated in a separate cubicle. Bathroom amenities are all made by Molton Brown which is a nice touch.
Breakfast the next morning was very good with a selection of cereals, yoghurts, cold meats and cheeses as well as a selection of hot foods eg bacon, scrambled eggs etc.
We paid the 3 day advance rate of €131 including breakfast which I considered to be a bargain.
Great hotel in great location
This hotel offers a high level of services. The design is wonderful, the room is spacious and the breakfast excellent. The location is perfect for passengers by train.
(too) many small problems
The bathroom wasn't clean (we found hairs in the tub), the soap bottle was empty, one of the spots was broken, the curtain was dislocated... The very good hotel for the comfort, if you don't look at the room in details
Air conditioning at hotel
Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. At first we were given a room where the air conditioning had failed and only when we asked were we given a room where the air conditioning functioned. As your other reviewer said - it was a shame the windows did not open as there was constantly bad air coming through the system - the ac unit dripped water and it was an ordeal to spend time in the rooms.
Also, the corridors in the hotel are badly ventilated.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet good.
Anyone with a breathing/ chest problem - be warned - the air conditioning in this hotel will make you ill.
Fantastic Location
This hotel couldn't be in a better location. It is right across the road from the Eurostar terminal and less than 10 minutes from Grand Place. The staff were very helpful and more than willing to make local recommendations which were excellent. The rooms are a good size and very clean and modern. I thought that the buffet breakfast was a bit over priced for what it was and the restaurant staff could have been a little quicker. Overall though I would recommend this hotel and would definately stay here again if I went back to Lille.
Clean and Modern
Right opposite the Eurostar station and the Euralille shopping centre, it is about 10 minutes walk from the centre. It is spotlessly clean and is quite Scandinavian in style. The restaurant is also excellent
This is one of only two quality hotels in Lille (the other is the Hermitage, the converted monastery, owned by the same group and which is far more expensive). If you're coming on Eurostar, the CP is perfect. It's brand new (2003) and is directly behind the station. The walk to the main square is under 10 mins and the huge Eurolille shopping centre is directly opposite. The room was a good size and impressively designed - etched glass walled bathrooms, good lighting, Philip Starke chairs, Loewe TV's. The breakfast buffet was also impressive. The only problem was lack of staff. There was only 1 person on check-in when we arrived, even though lots of people had come in at once from our Eurostar. At breakfast, just two staff were desperately trying to re-lay the tables between guests (30 tables and 120 rooms - you need to relay each table 3-4 times during the morning!) and bring tea / coffee at the same time. These are minor moans, however. At E130 inc breakfast, it was excellent value. (PS. Book early at a cancellable rate. The week before we went I looked at the website again and the cheapest rate with breakfast was E165.)
Modern rooms were a nice treat.
Stayed two nights in Sept '03 - rooms were clean and modern with a great bathtub. Only problems were that the windows didn't open and the air-con could have been better. Breakfast was nice and posh and one of the best selections I've seen. Not sure how much of a four star it is, but for France, it's pretty good. Very quiet too. Oh - it's right next to the Eurostar which is great for when you need to hurry home.
However, it's a 10 minute walk to anything you would want to see and over a major highway to get there.

FORT BENNING, Ga., (July 24, 2013) -- Disappointment resonated on the faces of several Fort Benning Heat players Saturday at North Highland Assembly of God.
The Heat had played in the Old School Basketball League for years, and for the first time, they entered the summer postseason as the No. 1 overall seed, with the best chance to claim a championship in front of them.
It wasn't to be though, as the Columbus Red Jackets stifled the Heat defensively and took a best-of-three series 2-0, winning Game 1 on Thursday, 62-54 and Game 2 on Saturday, 58-48. Fort Benning had beaten Columbus both times the two teams met in the regular season.
"They played way more physical," said Heat wingman Philip Whittington. "We were bumped 24/7, we had to get down and grind."
With point guard Michael Brown unavailable in the series, the Heat struggled to find continuity on offense. Columbus guard Kevin Douglas said his team committed to winning the rebounding battle and bottled up the paint. The Heat couldn't shoot the Red Jackets out of their zone, which led to one-and-done possessions and transition opportunities for Columbus the other way.
"They forced us to play out of our game as far as shooting shots," said Heat guard Norman King. "We got some good looks, we just couldn't hit them."
The Red Jackets won both games in similar fashion -- using a big first-half run to open a lead and then kept Fort Benning from making a run in the second half.
The Heat looked poised to survive Game 2 and force a winner-take-all Game 3 that would have been played Monday. Fort Benning went on a 15-4 run in the second half, and took its first lead of the game with less than six minutes to go. After a thunderous dunk by center Michael Smart, a transition 3-pointer by Donald Wing, and a slash to the basket by Whittington that put the Heat up 46-45, all the momentum appeared to favor Fort Benning.
But turnovers cooled off the Heat in the final minutes. Columbus responded with a 3-pointer and then a fast break layup to go up 50-46 with under two minutes left. The Heat kept turning it over late, leaving them no choice but to foul. The Red Jackets went on to make eight of 10 free throws to pull away.
"We had way too many turnovers at the end," Whittington said. "We turned the ball over four times straight. They scored four times straight. That was the difference right there."
Whittington said it was the second time he had made it to the finals since he's been playing in the OSBL and came away empty.
"This is heartbreaking," he said. "I jammed my finger on the very last play. I think my pride hurts more than my finger does."

Survey: Law is Hard - A Question and Answer Community for Law Students
[UPDATE: SOME OF THE FOLLOWING ASSUMPTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED/CLARIFIED FOLLOWING FEEDBACK THAT THEY WEREN'T SO CLEAR.] Hi! I'd love you to complete this really quick survey when you have a spare moment. As we're building a community that is for you, your thoughts are everything! It is basically some of our assumptions about the website and what it will do.
How closely do you identify with each of these groups?
Law Students
Don't identify at all
Strongly identify
To what degree do you have each of these problems?
1. The law is cluttered and very difficult to navigate.
Not an issue at all
Big issue for me
2. There is no easy way to find answers to questions about areas of law - reading through case law, legislation and text books is often difficult.
Not an issue at all
Big issue for me
3. People only really want to share notes on law groups. It's often difficult to get quality and up-to-date answers to my questions about the law from my peers and elsewhere.
Not an issue at all
Big issue for me
How useful to you are each of these solutions?
1. RE PROBLEM 1 AND 2: Ensure awesome content discovery by using unique meta-tags (specific keywords pointing to particular areas of law, e.g. 'reasonable foreseeability' or 'provocation') on every thread. This will make it easier for people to find and answer your questions through our in-built search and on Google.
Not useful at all
Very useful
2. RE PROBLEM 3: Quality is determined by the community. Everyone can up-vote and down-vote questions and answers and that determines how they 'rank' within the site. Contribution is incentivised by allowing people to grow reputations (e.g. when their question or answer is up-voted, etc.) A high reputation will lead to greater privileges concerning control over what content is posted on the site, and much more. Currency of information is also ensured. For example, if a question posted right now has received 100 up-votes, it would appear much higher than a question with 100 up-votes posted two days ago.
Not useful at all
Very useful
How important to you are each of these features?
Basic 'thread features' – ability to 'ask' and 'reply' to questions. Not that glamorous, but integral to the running of the site.

Works like a charm.
The Flattr plugin covers everything needed to set up automatic buttons for Flattr and also supports putting machine-readable flattr information in feeds (particularly useful for podcasts).
It's a great idea and works well. Let's hope more users start using it.
Great plugin, great idea of social microtransactions.
Unfortunately not many people use Flattr.com (yet).
You can even use this plugin to directly reward authors of blog posts - if the author have his/hers Flattr nickname filled it, you can allow linking directly with his Flattr account.
My use case: I want one button and my thing to be the entire blog and not individual post.
I noticed that 'Flattr site button' appears in the Widget admin pages , and thus enabling us to position a link for a flattr donation for my website in one position.
The dynamic flattr button is not showing up, until this is fixed I cannot rate the plugin better.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The offseason acquisitions of Sam Cassell and
Latrell Sprewell gave Kevin Garnett and the Minnesota Timberwolves
the talent they needed to make the Western Conference finals.
Sprewell was the only one who made a sizable contribution,
though, in Friday's Game 1 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Garnett was quiet down the stretch, while Cassell was resting
his ailing back on the bench.
"Sprewell carried them," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "He
just outran us. He simply did it on his own energy."
Playing his aggressive, slashing style, Sprewell led Minnesota
with 23 points in the 97-88 defeat. Scoring their first seven
points of the second half, Sprewell gave the Timberwolves the spark
they needed on offense and provided consistent pressure on the
defensive end -- whether he was guarding Devean George or Kobe
But Garnett, the league MVP who just two nights ago carried
Minnesota to a Game 7 victory over the Sacramento Kings with 14 of
his 32 points in the fourth quarter, was missing his usual
intensity while the Lakers ran defenders at him from all over the
"They were banging him a lot, so maybe he got tired," said
teammate Trenton Hassell. "But he played hard."
Garnett went 7-for-15 from the field for 16 points to go with 10
rebounds and four turnovers.
"He had good energy," Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders said.
"They attacked him. As the game went on, he saw where the traps
were coming from and made passes that led to easy baskets."
In the fourth quarter, Garnett was 2-for-6.
"I have to figure out a way to be more aggressive," he said.
"Fatigue is not an issue here. This is the Western Conference
finals. Either you suck it up or go home."
The Wolves probably could've survived if Cassell was in form.
But the 34-year-old point guard was just in too much pain. He
hobbled his way to 16 points on 5-for-14 shooting and sat the
entire final period. He said he landed awkwardly on his back in the
third, which sent his injury back to "square one."
"Sam did what he could," Saunders said. "He was really
Cassell missed some open shots he usually makes, and Derek
Fisher exploited his defense in a crucial stretch late in the third
quarter after Michael Olowokandi tied the game at 67 with a pair of
foul shots.
Fisher hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Lakers up by six.
Saunders put Fred Hoiberg in for Cassell, and Fisher closed the
period with another long jumper to finish off an 11-0 run that made
it 78-67.
"I just do what I can do," Cassell said. "That's all I could
give my ballclub. They understand."
Sprewell made a nifty layup with his left hand to cut the
Lakers' lead to 88-86 with 4:02 left, but George threw a thunderous
dunk down over Wally Szczerbiak and Karl Malone made a jumper over
Garnett to push the lead to six with 2:57 remaining.
Sprewell, who averaged 25 points in four regular-season games
against Los Angeles, had six rebounds and five assists. He knows he
can't do it alone.
"Sam is such a big part of the things we do," Sprewell said.
"When he's not out there, it does make it difficult."
Olowokandi was one of the other bright spots for the Wolves.
After totaling only three minutes and three turnovers over the
final four games of the Sacramento series, he didn't back down from
O'Neal and had 10 points and 11 rebounds.

Woes of 'Continuing Care' Centers
As the effects of the 2008 financial crisis and the recession linger, there are more reminders of the care retirees should take when choosing to move into a continuing-care retirement community.
CCRCs provide a range of housing aimed at enabling seniors to "age in place." They usually offer independent living, assisted living and nursing care and allow residents to move from one stage to the next as they age.
But some retirement communities took a direct hit from the collapse of the real-estate market. Most notably, Erickson Retirement Communities, a developer of 20 CCRCs in 10 states, filed for bankruptcy last year.
Now, Congress's Government Accountability Office has weighed in on CCRCs. Its report, prepared for the Senate's Special Committee on Aging, provides an overview of the financial difficulties CCRCs continue to face, the challenges in finding information on the financial soundness of CCRCs and gaping holes in state oversight.
The report highlights just how much more complex evaulating a CCRC can be than buying a house or even choosing a stand-alone nursing home.
Multi-Pronged Appeal
The appeal of CCRCs is easy to see. They can help remove the tremendous uncertainty that can accompany late-in-life living decisions. For couples, they can make it easier for spouses to live in close proximity should the health of one deteriorate much faster than the other's. Other family members know they won't have to engage in a frantic search for a nursing home should a loved one suffer a sudden illness.
But that promise of providing a place to live and health care for the remainder of residents' lives is costly for CCRCs. And, as the GAO report and a parallel report from the Special Committee on Aging make clear, many CCRCs engage in a difficult financial balancing act to meet those obligations.
CCRCs fund their operations either through big entrance fees, which the GAO said could range from $160,000 to $600,000, or ongoing monthly payments—or a combination of both. Many newer communities also need to repay construction loans.
To accomplish that, CCRCs usually rely on the revenue from younger residents in independent living to cover the costs of older residents. In addition, their finances usually assume high occupancy rates.
'Vulnerable' in a Downturn
The GAO report summed up the risk in this structure: CCRCs are "particularly vulnerable during economic downturns, as stagnant real-estate markets drive down occupancy levels in independent living units, which serve as CCRCs' primary source of profit." The decline in home prices has made it much harder for seniors to raise money for big entrance fees by selling their homes.
Meanwhile, the report from the Special Committee on Aging took a close look at five CCRCs (which it didn't name). It found "all five...are either experiencing cash-flow problems, struggling with debt, or both."
Financial woes can flow through to residents, usually as higher fees to cover anything from meals to transportation. This has been a particular challenge for some CCRC residents in the past year when there was no cost-of-living increase in Social Security payments.
Bankruptcies have historically been rare but do occur, as do outright closures. The GAO report pointed to a California CCRC with consistently low occupancy rates. After losing $11 million over 10 years, the CCRC shut down and residents were ultimately forced to move.
Other Pitfalls
Both reports highlight other pitfalls for potential CCRC residents, such as unclear or severe restrictions on the refundability of entrance deposits should a resident decide to move.
Some problems are laid at the feet of state regulators responsible for oversight of CCRCs. The reports note some states have bare-bones requirements for CCRCs to provide information about their financial health. Some states don't require CCRCs to provide a complete list of fees residents are required to pay. In fact, a dozen states don't have any CCRC-specific rules.
All this isn't to say that CCRCs are a bad idea—but rather to take seriously the homework that needs to be done before moving into a community that you'll be depending on to take care of you for the rest of your life. That includes having all documents reviewed by attorneys and a financial expert—such as an accountant—familiar with CCRCs.
Meanwhile, the GAO and Special Committee on Aging reports are worthwhile reading for anyone weighing CCRCs. (A word of warning: Some sections weren't aimed at a general audience. Part of the GAO report is aimed at prodding state regulators to step up their oversight.)
Both reports can be found at aging.senate.gov/pressroom.cfm by scrolling down and clicking on the link for the press release on the financial stability of CCRCs. The report from the Special Committee includes a helpful list of resources for potential CCRC residents.

OK, I think this started when I upgraded to version 2.9.2.
I have been receiving comment notification e-mails fine up until then.
I've went over this with my host and they say that the sendmail is working and their Mail Server is showing activity and all, but I'm still not getting any notifications when comments are posted anymore. My host concluded that it is a WordPress problem, and they may be right because I think it stopped when I upgraded to 2.9.2.
Any fixes or suggestions please?

I don't know. If I could keep my FN, I would probably just do Ashley Eleanor Grace, nn Lily. I think that suits me much better than Ashley Marie. I honestly think Ashley's perfect for me, I don't necessarily want to change it! If I had to change the full name, though, it'd probably be Lillian "Lily", Hannah, or Annabel. Maybe Eleanor. Those were my options back when I was considering changing my name.Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

Top RatedYamaha EMX512SC Powered Mixer

A powerful yet compact solution for smaller-venue gigs, powered mixers are perfect for DJs, local bands, and sound engineers who prefer to use a single-component PA system that is easy to set up. The reason is because powered mixers combine your amp, effects and cables together with the mixer into one portable and convenient unit. Within this section, you'll find a wide variety of powered mixers from today's most renowned audio equipment brands, including Yamaha, Peavey, Gear One and countless others.
Before choosing a powered mixer, you'll definitely need to consider a few things. For one, how many instruments and vocalists will there be on stage? After all, each performer will require their own channel on the mixer itself. Another thing to think about is whether or not you'll require any additional built-in effects processors. Thankfully, many of today's powered mixers contain tons of extra features such as reverb and graphic equalizers, and this catalog has plenty of examples. Take for instance, the Yamaha EMX312SC. Durable and lightweight, this mixer has dual 300-watt amps, plenty of input options, and 16 SPX effects, including echo, chorus, flanger, phaser and even distortion.
Or, if it's something larger that you want, check out the Mackie PPM1012. Loaded with 12 channels, dual 800-watt Class-D Fast Recovery Amps, 4-segment LEDs and solo PFL on every channel, this powerhouse delivers maximum volume that's totally free of distortion. Plus, the PPM1012 contains 24 useable effects, 48-volt phantom power for each mic input, and its ultra-light design makes transportation an effortless endeavor.
As you can see, you'll have no problem finding a powered mixer to suit your application from this selection of choices. The simple truth is that modern technology has never made audio equipment so accessible, and proof of that can be found in the extensive range of powered mixers that are now available to you.

30 hand picked films. A new one every day
Based on the novel by Vincente Blasco Ibanez, Blood and Sand is the beautifully rendered story of the rise and fall of a young, cocksure Spanish bullfighter, played by Tyrone Power.
lol, who better to be in a rudolph valentino remake than tyrone power, unfortunately it never quite gets off the ground though the color is fantastic
Love, poverty, fear, greed, ignorance, betrayal, faith, forgiveness and death, all wrapped in the rise and fall cycle of bullfighters. An intriguing melodrama from one of Hollywood's intellectuals (Mamoulian) it has the most breathtaking colour - referential of spanish painture (El Greco, Zurbaran, Goya, Velasquez) - and an expressive combination of metonymic, subjective or omniscient shots. Odd but compelling.
Painterly images paired with a pedestrian allegory.

To install, configure the scripts, configure the sol.exe, and enable Wake On Lan in your computers bios. There is an EXTREMELY in depth guide to doing this below, so absolutely anybody should be able to figure it out. It's fairly simple anyway, but I don't want to leave anybody less computer literate behind. Read that guide if you have any questions. Also, feel free to post any comments, criticism, suggestions, or questions on here as well.
I have included these two scripts in the rar posted below. It uses the "Tweaked WOL" and the "ShutdownPConLAN" scripts found on www.xbmcscripts.com. If you decided to download these separately, or if you already use them, make sure they're located in the root of your Q:/scripts folder, and that you do not change the name of the folders or .py files included. If you would like to change the location of the scripts (maybe if you organize or categorize your scripts into subfolders) you will have to edit some xml in the DialogButtonMenu.xml included, in about 9 places, if you decide to change the locations for both the SOL script and the WOL. Just open the file in notpad, hit control + F and you search for "Q:\scripts\" and you should be able to find all of them that way...
Here are some screenshots...
Just press left or right to toggle between Starting up or Shutting down the computer...
I added a new Settings window called "Skin Mods Settings" seen here. You have to go to this window to enable the new WOL and SOL buttons. By default, it's set to disabled, so you won't see it when you first transfer everything over. Right now, there is only one option in this window, but I have some more mods planned, so its usefulness will grow.
As you can see here, it works with any combination of using profiles or master lock, or both, which is the case in this photo.
Here's a picture of what the blade looks like that pops up when you select "Start PC."
The confirmation dialog that pops up when you select "Shutdown PC"
Note: This may look like a lot of words, and may seem complicated because of that, but this is only because I made sure to write down every detail of every step so there would be absolutely NO ONE wondering how to get this working on their computer/xbox. It is actually very easy and very self expanatory, and most should be able to figure it out WITHOUT this guide, but it's here for anyone who doesn't have a lot of experience with this sort of thing. There are only a fewthings I can think of that aren't completely obvious:
1. Make sure not to run the SETUP.EXE or SETUP1.EXE files to try to install the sol.exe for the shutdown on lan. It isn't necessary, and they don't work.
2. You have to manually edit the settings.ini and sol.py to make sure they match eachother, as well as the settings of your computer.
3. You have to enable Wake On Lan in your computers BIOS. Look in your computer's or motherboard's manual for more info.
All this an much more is covered in more depth below
Shutdown On Lan (SOL/SDOL):
For this script, you will have to run a tiny program in the background on your computer to listen for your xbox telling it to shutdown. You can easily add it to the Startup folder, so it will start with your computer. Open up the folder "ShutdownPConLAN" and right click on the file "ShutdownOnLAN.rar" and choose "Extract to ShutdownOnLan\." Navigate into the newly created folder and right click on "sol.CAB" and click on "Extract to sol\." Now, in this newly created folder, open settings.ini with a text editor, like notepad. Now, navigate to the root of your ShutdownPConLan folder and open the sol.py file with a text editor. (don't bother with the sol.py file found next to the settings.ini file, because the xbox won't know to look there). Now, just make sure the serverPorts match and change the IP address in sol.py to match that of your computer. To figure out the IP Address of your computer, go Start -> Run and type CMD and press enter. A black window will appear, in which you should type "ipconfig" and press enter. A few numbers should pop up, one of which will say "IP Address" next to it. Simply replace the "ServerHostName" number in the sol.py file with the the IP Address of your computer. Now, close both files, making sure to save.
Now, transfer the whole ShutdownPConLan folder into the root of your scripts folder in XBMC on your xbox, and double click on the sol.exe file found in the folder where you edited the settings.ini file. A small icon of a door should appear in your taskbar (bottom right corner of your computer screen). You should now be able to shutdown your computer by running this script on your xbox.
NOTE: You may have to open a port in your firewall(s) before this will work.
NOTE: Also, don't try running the SETUP.exe or SETUP1.exe. They just don't work.
If you would like this program to run everytime you start up the computer, rightclick on sol.exe, and select "Create Shortcut." Now, just movie this file into your startup folder. This can easily be accessed by going Start -> All Programs, and right click on "Startup" and choose "open." Simply move the shortcut here (make sure not to move the actual sol.exe, or it will not work).
Wake On Lan (WOL):
To configure the Wake on Lan to work, you need to first, make sure your computer has this capability (most newer ones do, I believe) and you need to enable it, by going into your computer BIOS and enabling an option that is frequently labeled OnBoard LAN or Boot from LAN. It may be found in the 'OnBoard Device Configuration', 'Boot', or 'PowerSave' menu, but it all depends on the BIOS. In case of doubt, consult the documentation for your motherboard. To access your computer BIOS, this is normally done by hitting delete or F4 or ESC or something similar repeatedly while the computer is first starting up. If you look in your user manual for your motherboard, or for your computer if its a dell or something like that, you should be able to figure it out. Google or the manufacturers website might be useful for figuring this out if you can't find it in the manual. Once you have it properly enable, I believe the lights on your network port should stay lit when plugged in.
Now that you've enabled it in the BIOS of your computer, all you should have to do is configure it on your xbox. On your computer, go Start -> Run and type "cmd" and press enter. A black window should pop up, and here type "getmac" and press enter. Your active network ports should all pop up here, with the mac address listed on the left (should be in a format similar to "00-17-31-8B-2E-1C." If there's more than one, figure out which one is connected to the network your xbox is on. Now, on the xbox, start the script, and go to "Change Settings." Here, you can add up to 5 different computers, and name each one. Go to Computer 1, change the name if you'd like, and change the mac address to the one you found on your computer. Now, when you shutdown your computer, if everything is configured correctly, you should be able to start your computer with a couple easy clicks of a button on your xbox.
NOTE: There is an "autoupdate.py" included with this script. Don't run it, it will only break the script and make it nonfunctional.
Simply copy this MC360 folder over the top of the one already on your xbox. It may prompt you, saying there is already a file by this name, and so on. Go ahead and say yes and copy over them. Also, make sure the scripts are in the root of your scripts folder.
I have included a READ ME.txt with the mod as well, so all this is there as well.

I am almost done building my first custom theme, and I am working on widget positioning. On a clean WP install, the default widgets appear in the sidebar of the design, but my layout has instead, three footer widget areas. I would like the default widgets to load there on install instead of in the sidebar.
Is there any way to manipulate this or split up which widgets display in each widget area?

With Brass-Knuckled Tales, 50's Street Gang Looks Back
By BLAINE HARDEN
Published: February 15, 1999
Them were the days.
A street tough named McGiff got himself skewered in Prospect Park with an Army surplus bayonet.
Anthony Vivelo, himself a tough and later a New York City police sergeant and now a dispatcher for a car service on Staten Island, saw it happen.
''I watched the blade go in and I watched the blade come out. McGiff lived,'' marveled Mr. Vivelo, although he said the man later died of heroin addiction.
Kindled by photographs taken 40 years ago, such brass-knuckled memories overwhelmed a gathering this weekend of the remnants of a Brooklyn street gang. They assembled at an Upper East Side gallery to commemorate black-and-white images of themselves frozen in late-1950's cool.
Men pushing 60, with wives and grown children listening in wide-eyed amazement, rhapsodized about fistfights that occurred during the Eisenhower Administration.
Patrick Fenton, then a gangly Irish kid with a pompadour and now a part-time writer and full-time court clerk at the State Supreme Court in Queens, remembered a drunken fight not so much for the punches as for its ending. ''We both threw up,'' Mr. Fenton said.
Robert (Bengie) Powers, a former drug dealer and a former heroin addict and now an addiction counselor, said he never once won a fight unless three or four of ''you guys held somebody down and I could beat them.''
The reunion took place, around a table with pizzas and sodas, in a first-floor conference room at the International Center of Photography on Fifth Avenue at 94th Street. On the floor above, a sizable Saturday crowd of paying customers inspected 50 photographs of the gang as they were in the summer of 1959, skinny and brooding, showing off tattoos and smooching with girls under the Boardwalk at Coney Island.
The gathering was the work of Mr. Powers, who tracked down eight other gang members and their families, and of Bruce Davidson, the New York photographer who, when he was 25, spent several nerve-jangling months hanging out in Brooklyn, carefully making pictures.
''I was very scared,'' said Mr. Davidson, who is known for his sympathetic photographs of people living on the margins. ''They were very unpredictable. I was never sure if their anger was going to focus on me.''
Violent youth gangs were a much-publicized problem in New York City at the end of the 1950's. They inspired the musical ''West Side Story.'' A Youth Board was created by the city to try to stop their fights. The New York Times wrote a seven-part, front-page series in 1958 examining the antisocial behavior of adolescents in the ''shook-up'' generation. The series had a glossary that defined ''rumble'' as a gang fight.
From the calming distance of four decades, there is a temptation to see in Mr. Davidson's photographs a certain sweetness, even hope. These were teen-agers who hung out in candy stores, after all, not crack houses. They fretted about dance contests, not drive-by shootings. They made the sign of the cross when walking by churches; they did not murder rivals with 9-millimeter semiautomatic handguns.
Many of teen-agers in the photographs, however, inhabited a working-class Brooklyn where sweetness and hope were in desperately short supply. If they had had guns, several former gang members said, they probably would have used them.
Mr. Powers, whose printed recollections narrate the photo exhibit, is remembered by Mr. Davidson as endlessly angry, ''like some kind of wired marmot.'' Like the other members of the gang that called themselves the Jokers and the Eighth Avenue Boys, Mr. Powers grew up in a mostly Irish neighborhood near Prospect Park, a place, he said, where ''a kid wished he was dead a million times.''
For gang members, it was a neighborhood where Catholic families were large, but cold. Fathers drank boilermakers for breakfast before heading off to gray factories that lined the Brooklyn waterfront. Factories kept closing in those years, tormenting unskilled men who had limited options and unlimited obligations. As gang members remember it, fathers self-medicated in street-corner bars before heading home, sometimes to take out their troubles on wives and children.
Mothers, too, were exhausted and often embittered from the ordeal of 6 or 8 or 10 pregnancies, from the importuning of children and from the periodic uselessness of husbands. Mr. Powers says that both his parents, who lived in a five-room apartment with their eight children, were alcoholics and, for him, unreachable. ''It's not that they treated me bad,'' Mr. Powers said. ''They didn't treat me.''
Although the gang members did not have automatic weapons, they were -- by their own admission -- itching to fight.
''Did we fight with chains and pipes and knives? Yeah,'' said Mr. Powers, a small man with pale watery blue eyes, a gray pony tail and two studs in his left ear. ''Did people get stabbed? Yeah, people got stabbed. And people got their heads cracked open with bats.''
Mr. Powers and others at the reunion asserted that they had more guts than gang members today who shoot at rivals from moving cars.
''Drive-by shootings?'' Mr. Powers said. ''What does that take? It takes a nut job, as far as I am concerned. How about standing in front of somebody and punching it out?''

A beautiful city in Central Europe. Home to 1.2 million Czechs and countless ex-patriates; cheap beer, second only to the Belgians and arguably neck-and-neck with the Germans; a beautiful Old Town Square, framed by an Astronomical Clock and the Tyn Church, unfortunately clogged with tourists in the summer; and a number of production teams who help American film producers too poor to shoot in the United States. A charming metropolis soon to be overrun by a double-bladed sword of post-communist economic growth and tourism.
The only two Czech words you have to know are "Praha," or Prague, and "pivo," or beer.

Ireland in Text, Image and Transmedia
LocationDublin, Cork, Doolin, Galway, Ireland
Program Description
Experience Ireland and its culture for five weeks while earning a combined 6 hours of SMAD and/or ENG credits.
The theme of the program for 2016 is "The Irish Imagination." Through a wide variety of cultural activities and explorations of the cities and countryside, you will experience the lively heartbeat of this special place and its rich culture. What do we mean by the Irish Imagination? The resilience, charm, and spirit of this small country seems shaped somehow by an Irish sense of humor and wonder, even in the midst of adverse past history. The creative spirit of the people and place is testimony to the power of the Irish imagination. In this program, we will ask you to explore, discover, witness and feel its magic in Irish literature, film, music, and visual arts.
This study abroad experience is designed to develop participant's analytic, writing, and media production skills while gaining a greater cultural knowledge of Ireland and its people. You will cultivate the arts of perception and expression in storytelling through original writing and visual media that will be published online. No previous media experience required.
This is a 6-credit program designed where students take 2 of the following courses. Students will enroll in courses as either ENG or SMAD.
Course 1 -
ENG 302 meets with SMAD 305
Course 2 -
ENG 385 meets with SMAD 398
Course 3 -
ENG 496 meets with SMAD 311
Location DescriptionDuring the program students will travel throughout much of Ireland and stay in four locations.
The journey begins with three nights in Ireland's largest city and capitol, Dublin. Staying at historic Trinity College in the heart of the city's center, students can easily explore Dublin's diverse, vibrant, and acclaimed cultural offerings.
From Dublin, we travel to the southwestern city of Cork for ten nights. The stay usually coincides with the Cork Midsummer Festival with theater, dance, music, and art. In the surrounding countryside students can visit the famous Blarney Castle, the Killarney National Forest, or the coastal village of Kinsale.
Next the program travels west to the scenic coastal village of Doolin for four nights. Located on the Wild Atlantic Way near the majestic Cliffs of Moher, it is world-renowned for its traditional Irish music scene and hiking. Day trips include a visit to the Aran Islands for exploring and biking.
Moving north up the coast, we will spend two weeks in Galway (considered the arts capital of Ireland) during the city's internationally recognized film and performing arts festivals.
Finally, the program heads back to Dublin for three nights, another chance to experience modern Ireland before you leave.
DirectorTom McHardy | email@example.com | Media Arts and Design
Shaun Wright | firstname.lastname@example.com | Media Arts and Design
AccommodationsIn Dublin, students will stay in student housing at Trinity College, usually single and double rooms and a shared kitchen. In Cork, students will stay in student apartments with private en suite rooms and a shared kitchen/living area. In Doolin and in Galway, students will stay in two and three bedroom holiday apartments with a shared bath, kitchen and living area.
All accommodations include Internet access and laundry facilities. Housing is located within walking distance of city centers and convenient to public transportation.
Students will be allocated a weekly meal stipend sufficient for groceries and some meals out. Kitchen facilities are available in all program lodging.
Additionally, some group meals are included.
Additional Items to Consider
Some students extend the travel abroad experience with personal travel before the program start date or after the program end date. It is relatively inexpensive to travel further in Ireland by train or to fly to other nearby locations in Europe. More travel information will be provided upon request.
During the program, students should not plan to have friends or family visit as you are not allowed to have guests in program lodging or to miss program activities.
Cell phones are not provided. In the program orientation, we will discuss several options for voice, texting, and email communication with friends and family in the states.
All of the courses in this program will have online components offered through Canvas in the four weeks prior to arriving in Ireland. These components will include readings, film screenings, and discussions. Doing this portion of the coursework before we get to Ireland will 1) better prepare you to be there, and 2) free up more of our time for hands-on experiential travel and learning.

I want to change the link color in the posts on my website so that users can identify that it's a link. I don't really need to underline them but a little more darker than the rest of the post. I've searched in many forums, but I don't need to change the hover color of my links, because I already have that code in my CSS.
Also, I want to increase the line height of the last sidebar widget on my website (which is the About the Author widget).

I think wordpress is honestly one of the best blog software. And it has many features that user requested, which is great!.
But one of the worst thing i found for it , is its Website. Not only fonts don't look good, hard to navigate. but also the Supporting Forum is a totall mess. It has been compacted to so narrow that is hard to read. And the forum software is no good either. Even punbb would beat it hands down.
