This is just a memo as to how I finally fixed a display error on the Holy Moly website. Something I did recently, probably related to social plugins, caused the body to overflow to the right. There were big scroll bars at the bottom, and it looked terrible. Tl;dr: the width in a Facebook Connect button I was using was set to 450px, but I was using it in a 200px sidebar. My family members (except for my husband David) should stop reading here.

I finally got Simple Facebook Connect working between the St Nick’s webpage and the Facebook page, mostly. It was both simple and not simple: Facebook had changed the look of their Apps page, and there is more than one Apps page. So one “how to install this app” tutorial I tried to follow was visually outdated, but a text update had been added at the bottom. The plugin developer had not bothered to remove screenshots on an old blog post on his site, but added a terse update noting that the instructions in the plugin readme.txt file and on the…

Attention, SEB!! A really great folk duo is playing in Ann Arbor this weekend at The Ark. If you like Scottish fiddle with a wee bit of percussive cello, don’t miss them. My husband David and I happened to catch a show on a vacation to Maine (they tour incessantly), and it was one of those rare moments of discovery. Hope you see this notice, if folk music’s your thing. 13 Ann Arbor MI The Ark Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas 734-761-1451 Tickets, Info “. . . the expressive gamut from deep Celtic melancholy to joyful jig, his fiddle imitations…

– Too funny. The wheels are coming off of Joe “Deadbeat Dad” Walsh’s bus. He’s not doing anything for the district, he’s been redistricted into a primary with another GOP Congressman, and he doesn’t deal well with critics. He prefers the “way to go, Joe!” sycophants on his Facebook page – there mostly fromfrom the Cro-Magnon Wing of the Republican Party. I hope this teaches people in the district a lesson: “VOTE. Or the crazies win.” U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) met with some constituents in the Chicago suburb of Gurnee Sunday — and apparently didn’t like what some of…

Riley decided this box needed his attention. First, whack the flap repeatedly until monkeys fully awake. Then, sit on box and accept veneration. Via: Flickr Title: Kitteh Thinkeh Outside Box – @MrRileycat_Esq By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 8 Nov ’11, 11.10am CST

Is it possible? Yes. Is it practical? Maybe. Would it work in every family, with every quirky dynamic? Probably not. Does it make me feel sad that some capable adults who could benefit from programs like this will never get the chance to try, because their families or guardians are convinced that it’s just not possible? Like many high school graduates, Jennifer Gans, of Glen Ellyn, wanted to go to college. But developmental delays put her in a population of students that few colleges serve: those with “intellectual disabilities.” Now Gans, 25, is a proud graduate of Elmhurst College’s four-year…
