What did you sink?
I don't have any cool boat stories, the most dramatic was in a Catalina 22 race. One guy forgot about the right of way (or maybe honestly didn't see me, the boat had way too much activity for the ~10 knot winds!) and tangled his pulput in mine. That was weird!
A Finn... 1992 (or was it 1993?) South African National Championships, Saldanha Bay. 50+ knots storm hit us mid-race. About 80% of all fleets capsized (Optimists, Lasers, Finns, Mirrors, Fireballs, FDs, you name it, at least 200 boats...).
I didn't run for the shore, finished the upwind leg, then sailed the downwind leg until I could hold-on in the survival mode, sitting all the way at the transom. Then hit a wave at an awkward angle, burried the nose and pitch-polled. The impact must have separated the forward deck from the hull, as I couldn't straighten the boat (Finn has a point of no return once the water is in the bow). All I could do is sit on the turtle boat and watch it sink slowly. Finally, it turned the bow right down, Titanic style, but still stayed afloat with a foot of the transom above. I sat on that waiting for my turn to be rescued. The rubber dinghy finally came and they shouted "Jump in!". I asked "What about my boat?". Reply was "Are you staying with your boat, or coming with us?". Guess what I choose... I was the last skipper rescued, my familly already had written me off...
Final aftermath was no loss of life, plenty of cuts, bruises and hypothermia, 20-30 boats washed ashore, many totalled and one lost (mine).

One wasn't during the race, but rather duing the season end "go crazy" closing ceremony. The dammage was right at the sheer and not too big.
The other one was during the race and quite big, yet above the water line.
This leaves me with one serious collision in well over 1000 (one thousand, estimated on conservative side) races sailed... However, I am pretty "wild" when I race.

This is SO CRAZY!
broke my wcrm a couple weeks ago. crappily enough, it wasn't the result of a crash or stuffed nose - it just failed in a regular turn. i'm assuming there was previous accumulated fatigue of some sort, but i'm at a loss as to how / why / when, as it was a low mileage deck, w/ no 'traumatic' incidents. unfortunately out of warranty, though prior did offer a crash replacement discount on a new deck.
still, i'm a bit put off. i've never broken a board in my two decades snowboarding, and my previous long term glass boards have seen much greater abuse, with no issues. are modern metal boards just that much more fragile? i assumed the teething issues of a couple years ago were over. back on my vintage option, alas. i did love the prior...
that WAS a spanking new base, what a bummer friend, as I recall those priors are big $$$ and take a while to get a hold of? I wonder if the greater torsional forces(wider board twists more than narrower of equal flex?) that are "absorbed" by the dampening systems and thus creating a crumple zone, like in modern autos? Hopefully if that is the case it wasn't intentionally created like those in my Jeep, cause that would be just mean!
Do you ride with a 0* front cant? It looks almost that the front of the plate point loaded the board!?
If that's of any comfort to you, I broke my Kessler 185, today... Looks almost the same as yours, just less bend to it. Pics later.

Auch, sorry about the board bud. Hope u r ok. Were u at Cypress when it happend?
I play same board last week and today on crappy snow, so far so good under my 205lbs w/o gears (cross fingers). This WCRM 177 and the wide 173 is my fav decks, I always start with 177 and when turn to slush/chop I switch to 173 wide.
dang, I have been dropping my knees deep toward the deck loving the rebounds and now I just cant afford to buy another one..stop scaring me, LOL! Cause that is allot of board bucks down the snow-hole...sorry to share your pain.
you know, if/when i get a new one i was thinking about a 173w flc - a bit more versatile, small hill friendly ride, methinks. my old freecarve thing is 21cm wide, and it feels like the sweet spot for my purposes.
:^o P W N E D
We talk about this before...when we have a problem with damage...
but I think the problem is the solid, binding construct, or user error...because the boards do not seem suited to the focus of severe instantaneous flatspot caused by the rigid binding...
there is always the cry for manufacture defect...because the recommended stance and setback etc is always the cry...but few carbonfiber/titan construct were designed to accommodate these CNC bindings, some day manufacturers will caveat the warranty with this clause.
I think manufacturer designs his and her board for plastic bindung, not NASA grade metals or alloy...but I could ask a manufacturer if his construct will stand leverage created by bomber or catek or CNC heavyduty binding? Of course, I could always be wrong.
It seems to me that the company should not allow frivolity for claims...everyone must take responsibility for the choices they will make. It is a dangerous sport, yea? 110
I have to agree that the ultra rigid bindings nowadays are just a bit much and seem more like overkill than just a secure way to clamp your fleshy foot to a flexible board...jmho
Like those new carbonlooklike Priordecks. Pitty you broke yours. Also that Kessler from Buel, looks like those boards can't handle stiff bindings/plates. I am very interested how many stress there will be on boards with for instance the new Boiler Plate. I am gonna use these dampers this season for the first time. Funny that I see no broken Coilers.
BlueB had the broken Kessler. That might have been what you meant to type.
From what people who have ridden plates say about them increasing pressure on the nose, I was waiting for that to happen. Especially with so many plates on boards not built for them.
Coiler's very rarely break. Interesting isn't it. Bruce seems to like durable boards.
I wonder how that board snapped though, it doesn't look like it's point loading. I'm curious if it broke at the carbon reinforcement they pop in near the inserts.
On a positive note, the nylon topsheet held up very well.
Thanks Ace! I'll see if I can translate through the site and order some. I have a new board coming with a real wood top sheet and was thinking these would be nice so my bindings don't leave marks. Bonus that they are functional as well.

- Perfect tool for writing ideas! Review by definegeek
I purchased this product in hopes that it could serve to spark ideas for my writing, and from the first use, it has been a success. I use it in my own way, picking one, two, three or more cards. Then I use the cards I have picked to create a poem, story, novel, blog article, anything. I am glad I purchased it and it worked out in the way I was expecting. I recommend it more for those looking for great new writing ideas more than I would recommend it as a game. Great product and worth every penny.

- Outstanding item - so many uses... Review by Stacey Mason
Although I bought this item from another company a few months ago, it's still worth sharing how amazing this little box is. I use it for Leadership Development sessions using improvisational techniques as the platform. The StoryMatic gives us a million different story-lines, characters, and personas to choose from. It's worth its weight in gold!!

Pets may soon be allowed on Amtrak trains
Published On: Nov 22 2013 02:44:07 PM EST
If you're tired of leaving your pets behind while you travel, soon you may not need to.
A new bill is being considered in the House that would let pet owners buy tickets for their cats and dogs on Amtrak trains.
The "Pets on Trains Act" of 2013 would allow pet dogs and cats in crates on Amtrak trips, as long as they are less than 750 miles.
You would have to pay a fee and sit in a pet-friendly car.
The bill is due for a vote soon in the House, and then will be taken up for debate in the Senate.

*Hey Viewers! I've been getting thousands of views for this post, do me a favor and leave a comment about your fave idea that I've shared :) And don't forget to follow my blog and repin on Pinterest! Thanks!!So my
I decided that balloons are for birthday parties and baby showers so I decided to make pom poms. I will admit, I got a little obsessed...
8 sheets of gift wrap paper 20X30
gift wrap ribbon
You can trim the ribbon or let it hang like I did. I thought it added a little more. If you're feeling really crafty you can do a two tone pom. I did a black and red one so I got 4 red and 4 black and stacked them red, black, red, black and so on.
So in the book, Ana talks about the "Silver Balls" AKA Ben Wa Balls. I thought it would be funny to make silver ball cake pops!
My mother-in-law came over to help. She is a cake pop queen and so I really needed her help. Yes, I know, making silver ball cake pops with your MIL is a little weird but we thought it was funny.
Something weird happened with the first batch of white cake melts so it was a good thing we had some silver color mist by Wilton. You can find it in your baking aisle in Michaels.
Another cute idea that I did can also be done at any party. I found leopard and zebra print duct tape at the dollar tree and wrapped them around water bottles for some diva-ish-ness. I only made a few because who really drinks water at a bachelorette party anyway??
You can't do a 50 Shades of Grey party without any gray ties! I borrowed some from friends and bought some from the Goodwill. Perfect because I saved my receipt and was able to return them after.
So I used the ties as decoration as well and you will see in the pics later...
Then I asked my MIL to make me a banner with her cricket and I tied the letters together with black and red ribbon...
I had a hard time keeping the theme a surprise from the bachelorette so the banner was the only picture I would share with her as I was putting it all together.
I had other cute ideas that I didn't get a pic of or I had to be creative with...
Licorice zip tied to tags that read,
Red room of pain
Later's, baby
My inner Goddess
Fuck the paperwork
What is it about elevators?
I had more sayings but you get the idea and probably have your favorite quotes from the book. Another idea I had was to tie a Charlie Tango helicopter balloon outside so people would know where the party was. I didn't find one in time so I bought a regular mylar balloon and taped a helicopter to it. It was funny watching the bachelorette try and guess why there was a helicopter flying around out front.
So here we go, pics of the party...
As you walk up to my front door you see a sign that reads, "We Aim to Please" along with some ties that I used instead of my welcome flag.
I placed a basket at the door where everyone could place their wrapped gift for the bride to be...naught, of course.
Party poms and a little bit of silver ribbon.
I borrowed a pair of ripped jeans for part of my table decor. I tied the ties to the bar that goes across my kitchen windows. Ties look better than curtains.
I decorated this table with a red table cloth and some silver shreds. A friend of mine made these awesome cookies too. I found the black frame in the dollar section of Michaels and used the same letters that I used for the door sign, for the bride to be's last initial in the frame.
|Silver balls served with scoops of Vanilla ice cream.
Black table cloth with more silver shreds.
I made these two corset wine bottle covers with 29 cent paper from Michaels. Measure, cut and hole punch. The ribbon I used was also the ribbon from the banner.
Charlie Tango
50 Shades of Grey
50 Shades Darker
I had a picture of 50 Shades Freed with handcuffs but can't find it. Booo!
And of course I served "Sub" sandwiches...
For the grand finale I wanted to find a man to dress up in ripped jeans just like Christian and serve my cousin drinks for a couple hours. When I get an idea in my head there's no turning back. I want what I want and that's it. Plus it's a perfect bonus to the party. How hilarious would it be if you showed up to a 50 Shades of Grey themed bachelorette party and there was a man walking around in ripped jeans serving drinks?! I would die!
Strippers are expensive (yes, I looked) and gross. I couldn't find anyone so my awesome husband and his friend did it. Way to take one for the team! I raffled off his friend so a lucky winner won a server for a couple hours. It was hilarious and everyone had a great time. And NO I am now posting the pics of my husband, he would kill me!! Just believe me, it was funny and I owe him big time!
So off we went to the bars sporting our ties around our necks. That's all I have so I'm going to end it with a pic of us :)
Left to right, Brides future sister-in-law, my sister-in-law, my cousin, me, brides stepsister and last but not least, the bride-to-be!

Maybe you've seen him in person. Maybe you've just seen video. Either way, you know him - SeaWorld's killer whale named Shamu.
But this ice shanty we found on Lake Minocqua will have you saying sham - who?
Ron McMullin built this monstrous mammal look-alike from scratch... But that wasn't his original plan.
He said, "It started out as an igloo. I was just going to build an igloo. You can kinda see the rough shape of an igloo there."
His kids thought it was pretty cool, but the first time he took his daughter out on the ice, she changed her mind.
"My daughter crawled through what is now the tail to get into the shack. She was 13 years old and she said I'll never crawl through there again."
Since he built it with the hopes he and his kids could spend quality time fishing together, he knew he had to come up with a new plan.
"I cut a hole in the die and about a week later she came back with a drawing of this. And it wasn't too hard. All it took was putting the tail on and it was a killer whale."
I know what you're thinking, because I was thinking it too. He makes it sound so simple, but how easy can building something like this really be?
As it turns out, very... If you happen to be in the right business.
McMullin said, "I'm in the foam insulation business and this is made out of the foam I spray people's houses with."
Ron calls the whole thing a happy accident, and since he built it a few years ago, it's been the talk of the town.
"People don't know me but they know this."
He's even developed his own little marketing plan for it... Complete with baseball hats and business cards.
The inside isn't anything fancy. It just has a chair and a heater.
There's not even a usable hole in the floor... That's just the way he likes it, because it fits right in with his "the more, the merrier" fishing strategy.
"If you're gonna catch fish, you need to be out drilling a bunch of holes."
So he uses the shanty as just a quiet resting place while he waits for the fish to start biting.
"You don't think about anything else. It gives you a chance to clear your mind."
That's a whale of a way to get through, and enjoy, these cold Wisconsin winters.

Are You Weary and Seeking Rest?
Weariness is like the weather — it affects everyone, there is no escape from it. It hits us all, at least occasionally, and sometimes it enshrouds us like a wet blanket. It's rarely any fun, but it can have a redemptive value. It doesn't have it be utterly frustrating; it can be sanctifying.
Weariness played such an important part in the life of our Blessed Lord that we must conclude that God has a special compassion and love for those who are heavily burdened. Perhaps this is why Christ made himself the personal refreshment of those in need of rest. "Come to me all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest."
Most of us labor, practically all of us are burdened, but too many of us fail to get refreshment because we fail to go to Christ. Yet, he offered his invitation to all. Our Lord was more than a man acquainted with weariness; he was God who told us — and showed us — how to use it well.
When Christ spoke of weariness he spoke as one who had been its constant companion through life. Not just three years of exhausting missionary work, preaching, healing, comforting and admonishing. Not just three hours of agonizing weariness on the cross. But a lifetime of thirty years with few moments free from work or suffering.
Our greatest cross is not being tired, or weary, or burdened with the trials of this life. It's in failing to use them well, in being ignorant of the true source of refreshment and peace, in failing to go to Christ when we need him most. He can only give us rest if we approach him with faith and confidence. It's a rest the world cannot give.
— Kilian Mc Gowan, C.P. (from Your Way to God)

Though Drupal could be described as an open-source content management system, in reality it is much more: a framework upon which web developers can build many types of online experiences, including database-driven websites, document repositories, interactive applications, and more.
The word page is often used inconsistently in the Drupal community, but for this guide, I'll use webpage to refer to that which is displayed via a URL path such as /about or /contact-us. By understanding how a webpage is created in Drupal by default, you will better understand the tutorials to follow.
Drupal pages are created by the theme (barring the use of page layout modules) and consist primarily of the following:
Starting at the top, the content in the header area is managed in multiple locations. Site name and slogan are entered in the Site information, the logo is uploaded in the theme settings, and if you want other features to show in this area, your theme can be customized to accommodate.
Drupal 7 comes with four menus:
You can create your own menu as well. All menus are available as blocks and can be displayed in page regions.
The quantity, placement, behavior, and style of webpage regions are defined by your theme. The diagrams on this page show sample theme regions. There are countless region configurations if you create your own theme.
Regions can hold one or more blocks. If a block is not present, the region will collapse and become undetectable to the user.
For this guide, the word page refers to that which appears in the content region (see diagrams). Pages generate URL paths that, in turn, deliver the webpage. The most common page is the node. The node is your article, your blog post, your event page, and so on. Other types of pages include (but are not limited to) the following.
Default teaser pages. By default, Drupal's homepage displays a teaser list of nodes. It also has a term teaser page, which displays all nodes tagged with a specific taxonomy term.
Views pages. These pages help you query the database and display bits of information about your nodes or other data. Views pages don't come by default with Drupal, but they're usually added when developing a site.
Panel pages. By including bundles of page layout modules, Panel pages provide a means of creating custom pages and node page layouts.
Webform pages. Webforms are online forms used to collect data from users and export that data for use elsewhere. Examples include a survey, contact form, sign up form, and so on.
Module pages. Module pages vary based on the module. If a module displays content or a form, it will likely come with a URL path for you to use. For example, the search module produces a search results page.
Administrative pages. In order to configure Drupal, you need to use Drupal's administrative pages. If you develop a module, you might create an admin page to configure the module.
Nodes are created using content types. Content types are Drupal forms used to collect, relate, and display data in the content region of the webpage. Content types have at least five things in common: a title, body (most of the time), author, post date, and URL path. But you can add more. Two content types come enabled by default: Basic Page and Article. Four content types come preconfigured in module and are available to be enabled: Blog Entry, Forum Topic, Book Page, and Poll. You can also create your own content type.
|Content Type
|Unique Feature
|Basic Page
|Used when the type of content does not repeat such as About Us and Directions.
|Used when type of content will be added on a regular basis.
|Includes an image and a tags field. Promoted to the default teaser homepage.
|Blog Entry
|Alternative to Article.
|Comes with multiple teaser pages and links to user's blog.
|Used relating nodes similar to a table of contents.
|Unique book navigation on the node and a book navigation block. Outline feature that creates the relationship works on all content types.
|Forum Topic
|Used to post a discussion topic in a forum.
|Comes with multiple forum list pages. Engages Drupal Taxonomy system to organize topics into forums.
|Ask your visitors a single, multiple-choice question.
|Choose the number of options for the question and length of availability. Comes with a list page and with most recent poll question displayed.
After you've planned your site, the next step is to install Drupal on a web server. For detailed documentation on Drupal installation, please visit http://drupal.org/documentation/install. These instructions focus on installing Drupal on an actual web server. If you aren't ready to commit to a hosted solution, you can learn Drupal via a Drupal site installed on your personal computer.
One way to set a site on your computer is to use Acquia's dev desktop. This package will convert your computer to a local web environment and set up your Drupal site in a matter of minutes. Go to https://www.acquia.com/ downloads and download and install the Dev Desktop just as you would any other software package.
1. Click on Configuration in the black admin menu at the top of your screen.
2. Click on Site Information and configure any of the following:
To create either a Basic Page or an Article in Drupal 7:
1. Click Add content in the grey shortcut menu at the top of your screen.
2. Click the type of content you want to create.
3. Complete the form.
4. Save.
1. Click on Find Content in the grey shortcut menu.
2. Use the filters to find a specific type of content.
3. Update one or more nodes with the update options.
4. Use the operations to edit or delete a node.
In order to create your own content in Drupal 7:
1. Click on Structure in the black admin menu.
2. Click on Content Types.
3. Click on Add Content Type.
4. Complete the form. Note: review each option carefully. There are too many to convey here.
5. Save your content type or save and add fields.
The configuration options apply to the nodes that the content type will create. When creating the node, you can override many of these settings node-by-node if you have the Administer Content permission.
You can add fields to all contents types, even those content types created using a module. The steps to add a field will vary, depending on the field you're adding.
You have two options: 1. Use a field whose type comes with Drupal, or 2. Use a field module downloaded from Drupal.org (see the Modules section of this card).
1. Assuming you aren't already in the Manage Fields interface, click on Structure and then Content Types.
2. Click Manage Fields for the content type to which the field will be added.
3. Locate the Add New Field option.
User-defined functions can be created by providing a name, zero or more arguments, and a return value (optional). For example:
4. Enter a label for your field, type of data, and form element.
Before you save, you have the option to edit the field name.
5. Save.
6. Read the screen that follows and respond accordingly and click Save Field Settings to be sent to the field configuration interface.
7. Read the configuration options, respond accordingly and click Save Settings.
Drupal comes with an image and term reference field (Tags) for the Article content type. If you want to add an image field to an existing content type or your custom content type, you can reuse the existing image field.
Should you reuse a field? Here some factors to consider.
From a content perspective, Drupal's taxonomy system provides a way to assign descriptive tags to nodes, making it easier for your site's visitors to locate related content.
From a technical perspective, each Drupal site has one taxonomy made up of multiple vocabularies. Each vocabulary contains multiple terms (or tags). Terms can have parent-child relationships with other terms. One term cannot be assigned to two vocabularies.
1. Click on Structures and then on Taxonomy.
2. Click on Add Vocabulary.
3. Complete the form and save.
4. Add terms to the vocabulary. Note: You can add fields via Manage Fields on the add/edit vocabulary screen.
In Drupal 7, a vocabulary is now a field, and field type is a term reference. Use the steps covered in the "Add Fields to Content Types" section to add a vocabulary.
Form element options work for both single- and multi-select options for three types of form elements.
Autocomplete term widget (tagging) is a free tagging option. This means you can add terms to your vocabulary as you create your content versus being required to use a pre-defined list of terms.
Traditional select lists (via the List (text) field ) are still an option with Drupal, but the term reference field can be a viable alternative. List (text) field has the select list and check box/radio button options.
Which strategy is best for you? Consider the following scenario. You have a data table with multiple columns and you have enabled sorting on the columns. You click on the column header to sort the field that holds the vocabulary term. The table rows get reordered based on the alphanumeric values of the term in that field.
But … what if an alphabetical sort isn't what you need? What if you need to control the order in which table rows are displayed? The List (text) field will sort of the value you store in the database. If you allow a person to select 'Three months prior' from the select list, but assign the value 1 to the database (1|Three months prior), then rows with this value will appear first. A selection of 'Two months prior' set to 2 (2|Two months prior) would appear next. And so on.
Once you have used the List (text) field, you cannot edit the a value that has been stored in the database. If the value and label are the same, consider the term reference field.
When a node is created in Drupal, the path is /?=node/23 where 23 is the NID (node ID). When clean URLs are enabled on the site and available on your server, the default path for a node is /node/23. Neither option means much to the user or to search engines. Also, they are not very friendly when it comes to defining rules for when a block will appear on a webpage. Hence, we have URL aliases, turning /node/23 into something like /myfavorite- hobby.
Drupal comes with the Path module. This module allows you to manually add a URL alias each time you create a node.
The Pathauto module provides a way for you to create aliases via content path patterns. For instance, all article paths might look like this: article/titleof- node where the title is provided with the [node:title] token. The screen shot below provides some examples.
When you are creating a node, you fill in the fields that are part of the content type form. The order in which those fields appear in the add/edit form is controlled by the same place you add fields, Manage fields.
The order in which the fields appear when the node is viewed by the public is controlled using the content type's Manage Display feature.
You can perform the following tasks.
- Reorder the order of the fields. Click+hold+drag the + sign next to the field to reposition the field.
- Manage the label display: Above, Inline, or
Sometimes you need a list of menu links to appear in a section of your site. For example, a menu called About might include a link to Partners, History, Methodology, and so on. The About menu would be a block that you can place in a region and set to show only on the pages in the About site section.
1. Click on Structure and then on Menus.
2. Click on Add Menu.
3. Provide a menu title (a name for your menu).
4. Save.
5. Add menu items (links to pages) to your new menu.
1. Click on Structure and then on Menus.
2. Click Add Link next to the menu of choice.
3. Complete the form. Note: the URL path needs to exist first in order to add it to the menu.
4. Save.
When you create a node, you can add that node to a menu via the menu tab. You can also add nodes to menus via the menu admin interface.
The Views module creates page displays and a way for you to assign that page to a menu without having to go to the Menu admin pages. The Panels module provides the same type of option.
Some modules will add a page to a menu for you. The Forum module adds the Forums link to the Navigation menu when you enable that module. You can move the link to another menu if you wish by editing the menu item.
Drupal 7 comes with three text formats: Plain text, Filtered HTML, and Full HTML. All roles on the site have access to plain text. You can select which roles utilize the HTML format options.
When text and HTML markup is added to a field configured to allow HTML, Drupal collects that content and stores it. When the node is viewed, Drupal looks at the text format settings for the node and send only that which the text format allows. For example, the Filtered HTML format does not have the table tags as approved HTML tags. If a user creates a node and includes a table, it will not show. You have two options:
1. Add the table tags to the list of allowed HTML tags by configuring the Filtered HTML format.
2. Give your users permission to choose Full HTML. Be careful with this as it gives your user a lot of power.
To manage text formats, go to Configuration > Text formats.
By default, Drupal does not come with an HTML editor installed. You can add an HTML editor one of two ways:
1. Use the WYSIWYG module and add an editor library such as CKEditor, TinyMCE, or others. You can add as many as you like. Assign the editor to a text format.
2. Use a module dedicated to one particular editor such as the CKEditor module.
Buttons should match the tags permitted by the text format to which it is assigned.
There are many ways to put an image on a page in Drupal. Below are four options to get you started.
The advantage of this approach is the ability to reuse the images you upload. For example, you can create a page listing your nodes and include a thumbnail of the image associated with the node. The original image would be used but styled to fit using an image style.
Image field. Upload an image via a field and display the image from the field.
Image field and Insert. Upload an image via a field, hide the image from showing from the field, use the Insert module and insert the image into the body of the node.
The advantage of this approach is usability. If you are not going to reuse the image, sometimes it's easier for users to click the image icon on an editor bar.
HTML Editor. Install an HTML editor and use the Image editor button to add a link to an image that will be embedded in the body. Images can be uploaded manually to the server or link to an image via a URL.
HTML Editor and IMCE. Install an HTML Editor and the IMCE module. IMCE adds a browse option allowing you to upload an image to the server via the Image editor button.
When a user uploads an image with the Image field, you can't always predict the size of the image. With an image style, you can manage the display of the image field such that all images have a specific width and/ or height.
1. Click on Configuration and then on Image Styles.
2. Click on Add Style.
3. Give the style a name. Hint: Names like icon, thumbnail or small don't convey much about the style. A name like scale_100w says this style will scale the image (versus resize) and it will keep the image from distorting because the height is allowed to be whatever it needs to be after the width is set to 100 pixels.
4. Add one or more effects to the style to match the style name.
5. Update the style.
This style is now available for use in Manage Display and other modules that use image styles such as Insert, Views, and Panels.
Modules are bundles of code that add new or modify existing functionality in Drupal. Contributed modules can be found at http://drupal.org/project/ modules. A couple things to know about modules:
Dependencies. Modules can be dependent on other modules. Therefore you might need to install multiple modules to get the functionality you want.
Status. Module project pages have status information to help you decide if the module is supported. There are too many indicators to discuss here.
The process of installing a module will depend on your server environment. Each module contains a readme.txt and/or install.txt file with instructions on how to install that particular module. The general steps are:
1. Download the module tar.gz or zip file.
2. Upload the file to /sites/all/modules. You might need to create the 'all' and 'modules' directory.
3. Unpack or unzip the file. Note: If you are using FTP, you might need to reverse steps 2 and 3.
You can enable a core, contributed, and/or custom module such as Blog, Forum, or Poll with the following steps:
1. Click on Modules in the black admin menu bar.
2. Check the box for the module(s) you want.
3. Save the configuration.
Drupal will remind you if you didn't enable a dependent module. When it does, click Continue and Drupal will do the rest.
Modules vary significantly, so it's impossible to convey one process for module configuration. To learn more about a particular module's configuration, consider the following:
You learned at the start of the reference card that the theme controls your page layout. Go to http://drupal.org/project/themes to locate a theme you want to use (assuming you aren't building your own theme).
Dependencies. There are standalone themes, base themes, and subthemes. Subthemes depend on base themes.
Status. Theme project pages have status information to help you decide if the theme is supported. There are too many indicators to discuss here.
The process of installing a theme will depend on your server environment. Each theme contains a readme.txt and/or install.txt file with instructions on how to install that particular theme. The general steps are below.
1. Download the theme tar.gz or zip file.
2. Upload the file to /sites/all/themes. You might need to create the 'all' and 'modules' directory.
3. Unpack or unzip the file. Note: If you are using FTP, you might need to reverse steps 2 and 3.
You can enable a core, contributed, or custom theme such as Garland, Stark, Danland, and so on with the following steps.
1. Click on Appearance in the black admin menu bar.
2. Locate the theme you want under Disable Themes.
3. Click on Enable and set default. You can choose to enable a theme and not set it as default, thus giving you the option to configure a change in your current site without anyone knowing until you are ready.
Themes vary but there are some consistencies regarding configuration. Each theme will have the following.
Once you have your theme enabled, you are ready to start configuring the blocks for your web pages. There are three decisions you need to make when configuring blocks.
1. In which region will the block appear?
2. Where in that region will the block appear?
3. When should the block appear?
There are two ways to choose a region for your block.
1. Click on Structure and then on Blocks.
2. Locate the block you want to position.
3. Either use the Region dropdown or click Configure.
4. If you click Configure, you will be given the option to set the block for all enabled themes at once.
5. If you use the Region dropdown, remember to save your changes.
If you have multiple blocks in one region, in what order should they appear? Place the blocks with the following steps.
1. Click on Structure and then on Blocks.
2. Locate the block you want to position.
3. Click+hold+drag the + next to the block to place the block.
4. Save.
There are three conditions to choose from: 1. Pages, 2. Content type, and 3. Roles.
Pages. When using the Pages option, the condition is based on a URL path. If you declare that all Article nodes will have a path that begins with article, you can set a block for each article node by setting the Pages visibility condition to the following.
1. Only on the listed pages.
2. articles/* Note: This means that all pages whose URL path begins with mysitename.com/articles will show this block.
Content types. If you have a block that should appear on nodes of a specific type, regardless of their path, this is the condition you need.
Roles. If you want to control who sees the block, select the role. If you don't make any selection, all will be assumed.
You can use one or more of the conditions at a time. For instance, if Pages is … and Content type is … and Roles is …, then show block.
Throughout this Refcard, I've discussed two roles: anonymous and authenticated. In Drupal 7, there is also a third: administrator.
The first user on a Drupal site user/1 cannot be stripped of administrative rights; this user is all-powerful. Use this role with care.
1. Click on People, then Permissions, then Roles.
2. Type the name of the role and click Add Role.
1. Click on the Permissions tab.
2. Check the permission setting for each role.
3. Save permissions.
You have several configuration options regarding user accounts.
1. Click on Configuration in the black admin menu and then click on Account settings.
2. Review and edit your options to meet your needs.
Included in the account settings admin page are the emails that the system sends out. You can customize these, but remember these apply to all communications versus those that might be associated with one particular event on your site.
1. Click on People.
2. Click on Add User.
3. Complete the form. Note: if you want to collect more information from the user, you can add fields with the Manage Fields tab.
4. Save.

Top Country Albums of the Decade (#40-#31)
Gene Watson, Randy Travis, Pam Tillis, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price have all long been cast aside by country radio, but each of these incredible artists continued to produce great country music into the first decade of the 21st century…and each earned a place approaching the upper reaches of our countdown. Mixed in with all that star power is an alright guy, a trio of Americana landmarks and two of the decade's most compelling debut efforts.
- 40. Alright Guy (2001) – Gary Allan
While other mainstream stars sift through songs by self-appointed "hitmen" on Music Row, Gary Allan goes to Americana stalwarts–especially on Alright Guy. Songs by Jim Lauderdale, Todd Snider and Bruce Robison are speckled throughout the record amongst more mainstream–but good–tracks like "Man to Man" and "Man of Me." Allan's voice can make any lyric sound good–as evidenced on "The One"–but he really shines when his voice compliments the lyric, rather than saving it. — Pierce Greenberg
- 39. A Taste Of The Truth (2009) – Gene Watson
Watson didn't land on any radio airwaves or industry award show stages in this decade, but he also didn't rest on past hits such as "Fourteen Carat Mind" or "Farewell Party." Instead, the balladeer released six albums, three of which contained (mostly) new material. A Taste of The Truth is the strongest of those collections, confirming Watson's role as one of the best interpreters of heart-wrenching songs in musical history. This trait is best exemplified on "Three Minutes at a Time," a full-circle song that finds Watson drowning his sorrows in a traditional country tearjerker infamously (and ironically) known for its power to mend a heartache. — Karlie Justus
- 38. Beautiful Day (2009) – Charlie Robison
Five years without an album and chatter about Charlie Robison centered around the mailed-in performances and a seeming loss of passion before news of his divorce from Dixie Chick Emily Erwin surfaced. Shortly after, Robison released Beautiful Day, an album that showcased the emotional struggle in his effort to come to grips with his grief. The album is mostly devoid of his trademark humor and avoids overwrought dreariness, but if subtle despair sounds this sweet, here's to a midlife crisis…not really, but you get the point. — Brady Vercher
- 37. Rhinestoned (2007) – Pam Tillis
For her first outing on her own indie label (the adorably named Stellar Cat Records), Pam Tillis knew exactly what to do: gather a bunch of songs from 'can't miss' writers like Leslie Satcher, Jon Randall, Gary Nicholson, Walt Wilkins, Matraca Berg, Verlon Thompson and Bruce Robison, and caress them with a voice that has only grown more sultry and sweet through years of use. That's just what she did, making her first album of new material in six years a career highlight and clear indication that the best was (and is) still yet to come, major label be damned. — CM Wilcox
- 36. Around The Bend (2008) – Randy Travis
The only secular Randy Travis release of the decade is a true winner–and rightfully placed in the upper half of this list. Travis is a workman and perfectionist–if he does an album, everything's going to be just right. Around The Bend is like a well-prepared meal, with all the ingredients that make up a great country album mixed in at just the right proportion. — Pierce Greenberg
- 35. Written In Chalk (2009) – Buddy And Julie Miller
The 2000s were bookended by Buddy & Julie albums: their self-titled joint debut in 2001 and their long-in-coming follow-up earlier this year. It's way too long between albums, but this sly, sweet album was worth the wait. Do any two voices sound better together–more natural, more comfortable–than theirs? The guests may be bigger names, but few singers can convey the nostalgia of "Ellis County" or the heartache of "June" as exquisitely as this power couple. — Stephen M. Deusner
- 34. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2007) – Miranda Lambert
Miranda's second best album comes in at #34, just a bit behind her latest effort, Revolution. In fact, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend might have been higher, had it not been for that latest release, which uncovered some of the one-dimensional qualities of Crazy-Ex. Sure, this album's great–there's a nice mix of head banging revenge and tender regret–but the writing is a couple notches below Revolution, which proves that the only person who can outdo Miranda at her own game is Miranda. — Pierce Greenberg
- 33. The Life Of A Song (2008) – Joey + Rory
Call it the Tammy and George Effect or Johnny and June Syndrome–there's something about a husband and wife duo that pulls stories about the trials, tribulations and triumphs of love onto an entirely different level. Enter Joey Martin and Rory Lee Feek, two of only three artists on this list to have appeared on one of the nationally televised singing competitions that forever changed popular music artist development in this decade. The duo escapes the reality show curse with an album that toes artistic brilliance, as standout songs "Rodeo," "Sweet Emmylou" and "Heart of the Wood" rank as some of the best of the decade. — Karlie Justus
- 32. The Good Life (2008) – Justin Townes Earle
With one name declaring blood lineage to Steve Earle and another that transcends his family tree to pay reverence to Townes Van Zandt, it shouldn't be surprising that Justin Townes Earle knows how to put together a song or two. The Good Life is Earle in his prime, showcasing the intensely narrative style of songwriting he inherited from those before him, as well as a voice that can hellishly howl as easily as it can tenderly touch. Artists with a voice (both figuratively and literally) as strong as Earle's only come along once every blue moon. — Brittney McKenna
- 31. Last Of The Breed (2007) – Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard & Ray Price
A trio of Hall of Famers joined for this two-disc set–22 songs deep–that allows all three men a chance to show off their considerable goods. Produced by Fred Foster, Last of the Breed boasts legendary songwriters Harlan Howard, Kris Kristofferson and Cindy Walker, among others. Price is the anchor of this timeless masterwork; his rich, expressive voice remains one of the preeminent instruments in country music history. It's the sheer enjoyment of recording that shines through on Last of the Breed, further evidence of country music's pure beauty and vitality.– Blake Boldt

20 Comments
I enjoyed the Gary Allan, Gene Watson, Pam Tillis, Randy Travis and Joey + Rory albums. Not sure how I missed Last of the Breed but I definitely want to check that one out.
32 & 31 are the best so far still needs some old crow medicine show
Gotta say…most on this list I haven't yet reached to due to forgetfulness or carelessness…either way, now's a great time to dig in and catch up. Kudos.
Great seeing albums by Gary Allan and Gene Watson on this list though personally I would have to move both into the Top Ten.
Its not only nice to see Joey + Rory on this list but also to see them ranked so high! I'll be a heretic here and admit I enjoy Joey's "Strong Enough To Cry" album a bit more than "Life of a Song".
I don't have any of the others but my pick of the litter would be the Gene Watson album as I can't say the rest interest me. In terms of taste in music Karlie and Juli are cleaning up on this list…
I would've swapped SEE IF I CARE and ALRIGHT GUY around in your rankings, but it's great seeing Allan make another well-deserved appearance in the chart. ALRIGHT GUY is worth the money for his incredible cover of 'What Would Willie Do' alone.
Good group of albums although I have the Watson and Price/Haggard/Nelson entries much higher on my personal list
It may not have turned out as accurate or relevant, but limiting each artist to just one album on this list would have made it far more interesting! (Well to me anyway.) All these artists who are getting multiple albums listed tend to be those I have no interest in. Including the albums from lesser known artists who got bumped by multiple entries from the likes of Gary Allan, Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, and Todd Snider would have been nice. Okay, I know I'm probably in a minority of one regarding this matter…
How many albums do you think Miranda has, Steve?
I count four:
Miranda Lambert (2001)
Kerosene (2005)
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2007)
Revolution (2009)
Am I missing one?
Gary Allan shows up a lot! Is Tough All Over yet to come?
Gary Allan shows up a lot! Is Tough All Over yet to come?
It better be!
I'm gonna have to check out Joey + Rory's album. I find it interesting that they're from the same state as I live, Iowa. Heck, I remember advertisements of them coming to a local county fair in my area!
Hey, I just noticed Karlie's comment regarding Joey + Rory:
"Enter Joey Martin and Rory Lee Feek, two of only three artists on this list to have appeared on one of the nationally televised singing competitions that forever changed popular music artist development in this decade." So Miranda Lambert is the other former reality show contestant which means Carrie Underwood did not make this list at all! Woo Hoo! I must say the list at Country Universe took a big hit in credibility by including Carrie. Good show 9513!
You guys pick some of the cds I picked for my list. Once you post the entire thing if you want I'll post mine.
I'm totally with Blake on this.
I guess I meant one-dimensional relatively speaking. I didn't meant one dimensional overall, but rather seemingly one dimensional for Miranda. Does that make any sense? Maybe not.
Either way, I totally agree with you. Like Brady says, just because I wrote the blurb doesn't mean that's where I put the album. That being said, Crazy-Ex might've been a little higher up for me.
@Pierce: I follow! I just know that the record is viewed differently by others, and I wanted to put my two cents in. Keep on keepin' on.

- Studio: Highline Pictures
- Release Date: Apr 28, 2010
- Summary: Based on his eponymous 1891 novella, The Duel gives life to a classic Chekhovian tale: the young ne'er-do-well aristocrat vs. the arrogant man of science; the attraction of a manipulative, narcissistic mistress vs. the life of the mind and of principled action. Gambling, alcohol and flirtations consummated in an impossibly beautiful countryside hold obvious attractions for Laevsky. But he's brought up short when financial ruin and his mistress's sexual dalliances lead to a violent denouement. Dover Kosashvili, director of LATE MARRIAGE, assembles a brilliant ensemble cast of British actors who strike just the right balance between intrigue and that particularly Russian brand of ennui we associate with Chekhov — but which today might elicit a prescription for Celexa.

It takes something like a miracle to unlock the magic in his exquisite aggravations, the essence of the human comedy. This film is indeed something like a miracle.
The Duel is the most successful literary adaptation I've seen since Pascal Ferran's 2006 "Lady Chatterley."
It's a pleasure simply to linger in the characters' company, or at least to watch them from just far enough away to observe them without being judged in return.
Koshashvili effectively captures turn-of-the-century ennui, but, more impressively, some of the feel of literary prose by intercutting characters in different locales, pausing the narrative for thoughtful close-ups that evoke interiority. The excellent excellent acting conveys the principals' emotional ambiguities.
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 2
Mixed: 1 out of 2
Negative: 0 out of 2
Oct 24, 2014A stunning literary adaptation. Chekov is a cinematic writer -- but this is the first film
to fully realize this on screen. Smart acting, lovely camerawork and a masterful edit!… Expand

Overall I have enjoyed my start as a business student at Adelphi... first off, the campus is beautiful and very well maintained. Recreational and theatre facilities are top notch. A majority of the professors seem to know what theyre doing and I think the course load is reasonable. In addition, the food is decent and you have a few different dining options. With all that said... the social life.... well yeah not too great. A good portion of residents leave for the weekends. So if you don't come from around the area you may feel trapped. Basically there is no *on campus* social life. The university does make an honest attempt to make suggestions, sell discounted tickets to events off campus and host an occasional event on campus. The fact is there is no wild crazy college party environment here. If you enjoy some peace and quiet like I do then you may not mind it as much. But if you do want a big social life, you can make it happen you just have to meet people who also want one. The immediate surrounding area is very upscale and nice, and there is plenty to do within driving distance. There are a wide variety of students here. Some students clearly come from money, while others don't. Don't be surprised when you see students pulling in with luxury cars. The student population is very diverse and so far I have found everyone to be very accepting and open.
Find schools and get information on the program that's right for you.

Getting a Handle on Herpes
The seriousness of the herpes virus has been overshadowed by the HIV/AIDS virus. But 500,000 Americans contract herpes every year, adding to the estimated 40 million Americans who already have it, and many of them don't even know it.
Contrary to popular belief, herpes doesn't always cause major symptoms, in some cases it may not cause any symptoms at all, according to Marshall Glover, director of the National STD (sexually transmitted disease) Hotline at the American Social Health Association (ASHA).
"People think that if you have herpes you are broken out all the time. In reality, the body's immune system does a good job at handling the infection."
What Is Herpes?
Herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). The first symptom that people with herpes are likely to notice is a cold sore-like lesion. If the lesion is on the mouth, lips, or face, the culprit is more likely to be herpes simplex Type 1 (HSV-1). If the lesions are in the genital or anal area, the culprit is likely herpes simplex Type 2 (HSV-2). While there is some crossover between HSV-1 and HSV-2 due to oral-genital sex, HSV-2 is usually the more uncontrollable and painful of the two viruses.
The virus lives in nerve cells and "creeps" along the course of the nerves to reach the skin surface, once in a while causing the characteristic sores and blisters. In fact, the word herpes is derived from the Greek word for "creeping." The main difference between HSV and many other common viruses is that HSV establishes a permanent presence in the body. This means that the virus can cause symptoms even if it remains dormant for long periods of time. Recurrent attacks may either be rare, occurring only once a year, or so frequent that they seem continuous. Recurrence can be triggered by many things, including irritation, menstruation, fatigue, and sunburn, and are usually milder and of shorter duration than the initial infection.
Laboratory tests can determine whether an infection is indeed herpes: a skin culture taken from an active sore is the most direct and accurate test. Alternatively, a blood test can detect the presence of antibodies to HSV-2. Such antibodies are evidence of previous exposure, but they do not establish that current symptoms are due to the HSV-2 organism. Like other viruses, there is no cure. However, there are medications to ease the symptoms, and a herpes vaccine may be available soon.
The first symptom of HSV-2 infection is a tingling or itching sensation in the genital area (called the prodromal phase), which may then be followed by sore red bumps that turn into blisters. In women, the sores usually occur on the vulva or around the anus, and in men on the head and shaft of the penis. Without treatment, the sores form scabs and heal in a few days. In addition to having a cold sore-like lesion some patients may experience painful and enlarged lymph nodes, headaches, and fever.
How Is It Treated?
There are medications for treating herpes that alleviate symptoms and keep the virus under control. Acyclovir (Zovirax), which has been available since 1982, can be taken orally or topically, and is usually well-tolerated. Two additional drugs, valacyclovir (Valtrex) and famciclovir (Famvir,) have also been used and have been found effective. These medications are also used for treatment of recurrent episodes, either episodically (ie, at the time of appearance of the lesions) or continuously as suppressive therapy. Medications are most effective when started within the first 24 hours. If given as suppressive therapy, medications reduce the rate of reactivation and decrease transmission to uninfected partners.
There have been reports that the amino acid, lysine, helps reduce early herpes symptoms. Lysine counteracts the effects of arginine, an amino acid found in foods such as nuts (especially peanuts), chocolate, and cola, which may stimulate herpes. It is perhaps wise to avoid arginine-rich foods during herpes episodes, though little evidence supports this recommendation or the use of lysine.
The sores heal best when kept dry and exposed to air; using any creams—particularly oil-based ones—will aggravate the symptoms. You can alleviate itching with compresses made of black tea and baking soda baths.
In general, the best defense against herpes outbreaks is a strong immune system. You can keep your immune system healthy by eating a balanced diet and getting enough rest. Vitamin C, zinc, and the herb echinacea are thought to also strengthen the immune system.
How Is Herpes Transmitted, and Can I Prevent it?
Herpes is spread by direct skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. If you have a cold sore on your mouth and have oral sex, you can give your partner genital herpes.
Herpes is most contagious during outbreaks, so you should abstain from sex when symptoms are present. The virus can also be transmitted when symptoms are not present, so it is advisable to use condoms between episodes. While over 90% effective in some studies, condoms don't provide 100% protection since they may not cover all lesions and occasionally they break. Using spermicides, which have been shown to neutralize HSV and do prevent infection in mice, along with a condom should provide added protection. As noted above, taking daily medication (typically valacilovir or a similar drug) can significantly reduce risk of transmission.
Some people contract herpes from partners whose symptoms are very mild or completely absent, so they don't know they have it. Others catch it from people who don't tell them of their condition. As with any STD, the best prevention is getting to know and trust your partner before having sex so that you can comfortably communicate about STDs.
"You practically have to fill out a questionnaire on the first date. But taking precautions can save your life," says Boston sex therapist Alexandra Myles. While this may limit spontaneity, sex is usually most rewarding in a caring relationship without the risk of STDs. This becomes particularly important if you do contract herpes.
It is important to note that not everyone with a herpes-infected partner catches the virus—some people in long-term relationships with an infected partner never do.
The Emotional Aspect of Herpes
For many people, the hardest part of getting herpes is dealing with the social stigma.
"People aren't traumatized by having a cold sore on their mouths, but society views genital herpes very differently," says Glover.
According to an ASHA survey, many readers of the organization's newsletter, The Helper, report experiencing a loss of self-esteem and fear of revealing their condition to a partner, particularly in the first year following diagnosis. Herpes support groups have been established nationwide to help people share their emotions and feel less alone.
Over time, most herpes sufferers are able to have a normal sex life.
"I've found that my clients have been able to maintain relationships. The positive side has been that they become more discriminating and don't just jump into bed," says Myles.
As Brett, an ASHA reader, said in a recent article in The Helper, "I've been lucky in that I've never been rejected because of herpes. To the contrary, I have a normal fulfilling life in every way."
Herpes and Pregnancy
Herpes can also be an issue when a woman becomes pregnant. While less than 0.1% of babies contract HSV and most herpes-infected mothers have normal deliveries, it is important to take precautions. If you have herpes, you should inform your healthcare provider. If your partner has been infected with herpes, ACOG recommends that intercourse should be avoided in the third trimester. When intercourse is performed in the first or second trimester, condoms should be used, although they do not provide absolute protection..
If a mother gets infected in late pregnancy, babies may contract neonatal herpes, a rare but life-threatening disease. In the United States, mothers with herpes who have an outbreak at the time of delivery are commonly advised to have Cesarean sections. This approach has not been adopted in all countries, and the safest technique to prevent neonatal herpes has yet to be determined.
The facts about herpes dispel the "scarlet H" image. While herpes isn't fatal, it is uncomfortable and puts great stress on personal relationships. This is an example of a condition in which knowledge is your best treatment and prevention through consistent use of condoms is your best policy.

TSC member calls for clarity over Goldman Sachs tax deal
Treasury select committee member Chuka Umunna is calling on HM Revenue & Customs to release information about a tax settlement arrangement with Goldman Sachs which he says saved the investment bank £10.8m.
Goldman Sachs struck a deal with HMRC in 2010 after a long running dispute and was let off interest on 10 years of missed payments.
Saturday's Guardian reports the Labour MP (pictured) made the call in last week's TSC sub-committee hearing on the administration and effectiveness of HMRC. He said: "It is clearly in the public interest for HMRC to put more information into the public domain."
Umunna said the lack of disclosure could lead the public to believe there is "one rule for some companies and another for individual taxpayers".
It is not the Streatham MP's first sortie on the tax record of banks. In January, during a marathon TSC hearing, he accused Barclays chief executive Bob Diamond of presiding over a company engaged in tax avoidance on a "grand scale".
Both banks are now signed up to the Government's code of practice on taxation for banks which commits them to working with HMRC "openly and transparently" and to avoiding tax results "contrary to the intentions of Parliament".
An HMRC spokesman says: "Taxpayer confidentiality is a statutory legal duty on HMRC. We have said all we can concerning Goldman Sachs."
But Umunna says the Revenue should follow its own precedent set when it gave the committee files on Vodafone following public and media controversy over a similar settlement which protest group UKUncut claim saved the firm around £6bn.

NCADV works closely with domestic violence victims and advocates at the local, state and national levels to identify the issues facing both domestic violence victims and their children, and the people who serve them. We also work to develop a national legislative agenda to address these issues and to represent before elected officials the over 2,000 NCADV members and coalition partners.
The Public Policy Office lobbies Congress, monitors and analyzes state and federal legislative developments and common law, and provides information about pending policy initiatives to shelters, state coalitions, and other grassroots advocates. We provide information and technical assistance to Congressional members, and we work to educate the public on the epidemic of domestic violence and the impact of positive legislative efforts. The Public Policy Office works in coalition with other organizations fighting worldwide to end violence and oppression in the lives of women, and all human beings.
NCADV annually provides an opportunity for domestic violence victims, local programs, and advocates to meet with their Members of Congress to discuss pertinent anti-violence�legislation.�Legislative Action Day�takes place in Washington, DC every spring/summer.
