Tinjums Named
Burke Soil District� s
Achievement Winners
Dale and Patricia Tinjum of rural Powers Lake, this year�s Burke Soil Conservation District�s Achievement winner, were honored at the 76th annual convention of the North Dakota Association of Soil Conservation Districts, held Nov. 23-25 in Bismarck.
The Tinjums were presented with a 16� x 20� aerial photograph of their farm. A photo of the farm was on display at the annual convention.
The display photograph of the Tinjum farm has been placed in the traveling Achievement Award Program exhibit. This exhibit will be displayed at the North Dakota State Fair, several agricultural shows, and many shopping centers throughout the next year.
The photograph will then be placed in the Burke Soil Conservation District office�s �Hall of Fame.�
The North Dakota Soil Conservation Achievement Awards program is a statewide program in which each of the 56 SCDs recognize farmers and ranchers who have made an outstanding effort to conserve their valuable soil resource.
Land Board Awards Burke County Schools Funding
The Board of University and School Lands (Land Board) awarded about $5 million in energy impact grants to K-12 schools and airports in North Dakota�s oil-production region.
During the grant round, the Land Board awarded about $2 million to K-12 schools and another $3 million to airports in western North Dakota to help the region address the impacts of rapid growth.
�These grants are an important part of our ongoing commitment to help the oil and gas region meet the challenges the come with strong growth,� said Gov. Jack Dalrymple, chairman of the five-member state Land Board. �By working together, we are making great progress in western North Dakota, but we know that there is much more work ahead. We will continue working with local leaders to meet our challenges and build on our progress.�
The Land Board approved grants for 13 school districts based on the recommendations of its K-12 school advisory committee, which is made up of school administrators from the state�s oil and gas region.
Phony IRS Calls Still
Circulating in North Dakota
Earlier this year, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem issued warnings about a scam involving fake IRS calls. In the last two weeks, there has been a surge in the number of calls received by North Dakota residents and reported to the Attorney General�s office.
Stenehjem reminds consumers that these calls are fake. �This is a known scam. The IRS does not use threatening phone calls to notify taxpayers of potential problems with their tax return,� said Stenehjem.
The scam artists pretend to be IRS enforcement agents and claim the only way the victim can avoid being arrested for tax fraud is to buy pre-paid instant cash cards such as the Greendot card and then read off the numbers from the back of the card. As soon as the scam artist has those numbers, he can go online and empty the card before the victim hangs up the phone.
Attorney General Stenehjem provided the following tips:
� If you pick up the call, don�t respond to the scam artist � just hang up.
� If you receive a message on your phone, delete it without response.
� Never confirm or provide personal information in response to these scam calls.
� Don�t try to �play along� with the scam artist.
These scam calls have been circulating across the country for more than a year, although only in the last few months have North Dakota 701-area code telephone numbers been targeted.
There is no need to contact the Attorney General�s office to report receiving a fake IRS call.
Stenehjem said the scam artists are using spoofed telephone numbers so there is no way for his office to trace the calls because the number displayed is not the actual number the scam artist is using. Federal authorities believe the calls originate from outside the United States.

The household calendar has been my responsibility for 20-plus years. Any human being in charge of his or her family calendar understands the significance of this duty. The calendar is the helm of the family ship. It steers us in the direction dictated by the day�s agenda. A good captain holds tight to the helm and ensures accurate and efficient schedule fulfillment.
Problem is, I�m not much of a captain. I�m more like Gilligan.
If a schedule or appointment can be confused, bumbled, misinterpreted, forgotten or otherwise discombobulated, I am your gal. I did it again today. You�d think after all these years my husband would be fed up with my inadequacy and take over the duties himself � sort of like what I did with him and the laundry.
Who am I kidding? He�s smarter than that.
So here we are, less than a week into the latest youth sports season. Today was the Parent Meeting. Over the years I�ve missed more Parent Meetings than the castaways missed opportunities for getting off that darn island. But not today. Today I was prepared. I wrote �PARENT MEETING� in big letters on the calendar. At the appointed hour both my husband and I were in attendance, practically wearing our Responsible Parent badges.
As we waited for the meeting to start, one of the moms wondered out loud if the kids were almost done practicing.
My face took on the expression of a deer in the headlights: dazed, stunned and unsure which way to run. I looked desperately around the room, hoping to see other confused parents. They were an antlerless bunch.
�There was practice today?� I tried to sound nonchalant as I asked the facetious question.
�It was listed on the website,� said one mom.
�In two places,� said another.
I�d checked the schedule three times that day and knew one thing for certain: it was completely my fault. Somehow I�d glossed over the entry labeled �Practice� and replaced it with the words, �Take the afternoon off.� There wasn�t anything I could say in my defense, so I said nothing.
After 20-plus years of scheduling blunders, you learn to shut up and minimize your damages. And avoid eye contact with your husband.
In the end, I fessed up to the team manager about my scheduling inabilities. She was understanding. They usually are until they experience a season or two of my schedulitis.
When I got home, I told my son about the gaffe. �Great, I missed already,� he said. �I told you there was practice today.�
I didn�t remember that conversation. But again, when you�ve got a record like mine you recall not recalling any number of conversations that may or may not have taken place on previous occasions for which you most likely cannot pin down the date or time.
�I know,� he said. �I�ll keep track of my own schedule. Then I won�t miss anything.�
The kid had a point. Besides, what do I have to lose? (Other than my scheduling reputation, and we all know that went down with the S.S. Minnow.)
It�s ingenious, really � turning the schedule reigns over to a 12-year-old. He�ll probably get himself to practice on time and may even learn a lesson about responsibility as a bonus. I figure he can�t do any worse than me and now that I don�t have to worry about being calendar captain I�ll be free to simply go with the flow and enjoy the games.
It�s going to be a great season.

Unincorporated Cook County/091510- Cook County Forest Preserve Police Officer Jason Obora drives down a section of well traveled path in the Cook County Forest Preserve in Unincorporated Cook County, Illinois Wednesday September 15, 2010. jm091510 news/TIN_potpolice_P4(SouthtownStar Photo by Joseph P. Meier)
Updated: June 4, 2012 11:38AM
As a weekly user of the forest preserves in Cook County, I have to disagree with the idea that we can get away without a dedicated police force. The forest preserves are a magical place alive with wildlife, like the coyote, little green heron, and white tailed deer I saw last Saturday at LaBagh Woods on the North Side. We can share our urban and suburban communities with these creatures in part because the animals within them are protected.
Over decades of hiking, biking, canoeing and bird-watching, I have seen people digging up native plants and destroying the landscape, driving ATVs on tiny forest paths, trampling flowers with mountain bikes and tossing whatever kind of junk they feel like out the windows of their cars in parking lots. If anything, we need more dedicated police, not fewer.
For many years, my family hosted a picnic at Deer Grove, where we spent our childhoods in the woods. One year, when we arrived to set up our picnic, someone had set theirs up in our spot, even though we had a permit for the site.
Fortunately, a forest preserve police officer came along and asked the interlopers to leave. However, rather than just kick them out, he helped that family find a new shelter in which to have their picnic, therefore serving us both. That kind of service is only possible when the officer's mission is directly connected to mission of the place. A regular Cook County officer would have other jobs to do.

Look at this description of Detroit from today's Observer:
What isn't dumped is stolen. Factories and homes have largely been stripped of anything of value, so thieves now target cars' catalytic converters. Illiteracy runs at around 47%; half the adults in some areas are unemployed. In many neighbourhoods, the only sign of activity is a slow trudge to the liquor store.
Now have a look at the uncannily prophetic description of Starnesville, a Mid-Western town in Ayn Rand's dystopian novel, Atlas Shrugged. Starnesville had been home to the great Twentieth Century Motor Company, but declined as a result of socialism:
A few houses still stood within the skeleton of what had once been an industrial town. Everything that could move, had moved away; but some human beings had remained. The empty structures were vertical rubble; they had been eaten, not by time, but by men: boards torn out at random, missing patches of roofs, holes left in gutted cellars. It looked as if blind hands had seized whatever fitted the need of the moment, with no concept of remaining in existence the next morning. The inhabited houses were scattered at random among the ruins; the smoke of their chimneys was the only movement visible in town. A shell of concrete, which had been a schoolhouse, stood on the outskirts; it looked like a skull, with the empty sockets of glassless windows, with a few strands of hair still clinging to it, in the shape of broken wires.
Beyond the town, on a distant hill, stood the factory of the Twentieth Century Motor Company. Its walls, roof lines and smokestacks looked trim, impregnable like a fortress. It would have seemed intact but for a silver water tank: the water tank was tipped sidewise.
They saw no trace of a road to the factory in the tangled miles of trees and hillsides. They drove to the door of the first house in sight that showed a feeble signal of rising smoke. The door was open. An old woman came shuffling out at the sound of the motor. She was bent and swollen, barefooted, dressed in a garment of flour sacking. She looked at the car without astonishment, without curiosity; it was the blank stare of a being who had lost the capacity to feel anything but exhaustion.
"Can you tell me the way to the factory?" asked Rearden.
The woman did not answer at once; she looked as if she would be unable to speak English. "What factory?" she asked.
Rearden pointed. "That one."
"It's closed."
Now here's the really extraordinary thing. When Ayn Rand published those words in 1957, Detroit was, on most measures, the city with the highest per capita GDP in the United States.
The real-life Starnesville, like the fictional one, decayed slowly, then collapsed quickly. I spent a couple of weeks in Detroit in 1991. The city was still functioning more or less normally, but the early signs of decomposition were visible. The man I was staying withn, a cousin of my British travelling companion, ran a bar and restaurant. He seemed to my teenage eyes to be the embodiment of the American dream: he had never been to college, but got on briskly and uncomplainingly with building a successful enterprise. Still, he was worried. He was, he told me, one of a shrinking number of taxpayers sustaining more and more dependents. Maybe now, he felt, was the time to sell up, while business was still good.
He wasn't alone. The population of Motown has fallen from two million to 700,000, and once prosperous neighbourhoods have become derelict. Seventy six thousand homes have been abandoned; estate agents are unable to shift three-bedroom houses for a dollar.

Bring The Jonas Brothers to Toledo, Ohio!!
Hello. I was wondering if you could help me and my friends. You see, we are huge JB fans - just like yourself I'm sure - and where we live is so small that most famous people don't really realize how many fans there really are in such a small place. We have been thinking of ways to get them to come to Toledo, Ohio. We know that it won't work until at least a few thousand people have signed and we haven't many ways to advertise. This is where your help would be greatly appreciated. We would be forever grateful. Many people have told us to reach for our dreams and you have to admit, a Jonas Brothers concert is something that almost every fan dreams about. We've been trying to reach out for this dream, and we aren't having much luck. We would truly appreciate any help you could give us. We have created a myspace, so you can go and message us if you want: www.myspace.com/livefooty Many Many Thanks. Peace.Love.Jonas. Natalie

With more and more educational material becoming available online, as well as on CD and DVD-ROM, it's only inevitable that the tried-and-true cornerstone of educational material, the textbook, would find its way into the digital age. As we are beginning to see, textbooks no longer need to be static blocks of paper.
We are at the advent of digital publishing. Print-on-demand services will allow educators to custom-print textbooks to include only the chapter they need, saving paper and preventing the back problems faced by generations of textbook-laden students. Even more possibilities exist in the realm of e-books, which can provide students with an interactive learning experience, while giving teachers the tools to add their own notes to assigned readings. The possibilities are limitless, and we are only at the beginning.
With all that in mind, T.H.E. Journal would like to introduce its new quarterly department, Digital Publishing. Here we will provide readers with the latest news and technology relating to e-books, online and digital publishing, and print-on-demand as it relates to education.
This article originally appeared in the 06/01/2001 issue of THE Journal.

There are four major challenges of the graphic novelist:
1) Writing
2) Art
3) The Synthesis of Writing and Art
4) Visual Storytelling
After creating and publishing two graphic novels (though one was more of a novella of 64 pages), I've only begun to realize just how tough being a graphic novelist is. It's fun, no doubt, but putting together a full piece of work takes time, endurance, dedication, consistency and sleepless nights.
You're not just writing, you're drawing. You're not just drawing, you're designing. You're synthesizing text and images, and doing it in such a way that you're bringing a dream to life. If you want to be arrogant about it, it's close to godhood.
To put together a movie, you needs lots of money and people. To put together a novel, a writer only needs words. Comic book companies generally use the model of having artistic teams.
For us graphic novelists, we're on our own. Our skill set makes us a different breed. We do it with a pencil, some paper, and our own brand of magic.
Let there be more of us! :-)

Accessible Technology Bill (HF 1744 / SF 1600)
Governor Pawlenty signed the accessible technology bill on May 22, 2009. This new law requires the state to adopt Section 508 standards and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) to develop and maintain accessible statewide information and telecommunications technology systems and services. (Read the final language of HF 1744.)
Accessibility and Usability of E-Government Services
The Internet is dramatically changing the way that Minnesota state government serves the public. Taking advantage of ever changing advances in new technology, state government is increasing its use of the Web to offer citizens a host of services. These services may include corresponding online with elected officials, providing information about government services, renewing licenses, providing tax information and filing tax returns, and applying for jobs or benefits.
Whether you are a state agency, information technology professional, or simply interested in accessibility and usability of E-Government services, we invite you to use the helpful resources below.

Minnesota Statute
Minnesota Statute 16C.145 requires nonvisual access standards be included in all contracts for the procurement of information technology by and for the use of, agencies, political subdivisions, and the Minnesota state colleges and universities. The standards must include effective, interactive control and use of the technology, require information technology compatibility, integration into networks used to share communications, and have the capability of providing equivalent access by nonvisual means to telecommunications or other interconnected network services used by individuals who are not blind or visually impaired.
16C.145 Nonvisual Technology Access Standards
Office of Enterprise Technology Standards and Guidelines
The purpose of the Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Guideline is to provide guidance that will assist Minnesota State Agencies to create, develop and maintain web sites that serve the largest possible audience.
Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Guidelines
Section 508 - Federal Law
In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act requiring Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. ' 794d), Federal agencies must provide employees and members of the public with disabilities access to information that is comparable to the access available to others.
Organizations and agencies that do not fall under Section 508 often use these guidelines to voluntarily increase the accessibility of their electronic and information technology.
Guide to Section 508 Standards for Electronic and Information Technology
In April 2008, the Advisory Committee to the United States Access Board issued a report outlining recommendations for revising Section 508 standards and Section 255 accessibility guidelines.

Update: The offer mentioned below for the Platinum Card from American Express has expired. View the current offer here.
For bookings made now through September 20, 2013, for travel from now through the end of its award availability schedule (about 11 months out), Virgin Atlantic is offering discounted economy awards of just 25,000 miles roundtrip between destinations in the US and London. Tickets normally require 35,000 miles, so this is almost a 30% mileage discount.
Virgin Atlantic also recently lowered its enormous fuel surcharges, but you'll still end up paying in the ballpark of $400-$500, even for these award tickets, as you can see from this sample itinerary from New York to London in November with taxes and fees around $444:
This same itinerary would cost you about $845 – so you'd be getting about 1.6 cents per mile in value.
One bit of good news is that you can also book discounted one-ways for half the miles, such as this one from New York to London for just 12,500 miles and $131 in fees and taxes:
Here is a page with the discounted cities listed and here's the table with the award pricing:
The discount awards are available from the following cities:
Los Angeles
New York JFK
Newark EWR
And awards from the following cities are discounted from 42,500 miles to 35,000 miles:
San Francisco (33,000 miles)
Washington DC
Unfortunately, this discount is only on economy awards and not premium economy or Upper Class, so because of the still-high surcharges and taxes on these tickets, you are still limited as to the amount of value you can pull from each point. However, if you were planning to redeem a Virgin Atlantic economy award anyway, you might as well use this discount to do so using fewer miles.
Also remember that Virgin Atlantic is a transfer partner of all three transferable points programs, American Express, Starwood Preferred Guest and Chase Ultimate Rewards, so if you're earning points on a card like the Amex Premier Rewards Gold or Platinum Card, or the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Bold or Ink Plus, you can transfer those points to your Flying Club account for a redemption.

people / Coalition Groups
Religious Coalition
A consortium of religious leaders from various faith communities in the State of Rhode Island who have signed a Declaration of Religious Support for Same-Gender Marriage in the State of Rhode Island.
About the Religious Coalition
We celebrate that our state enjoys the blessing of religious diversity that is the fruit of our founder's vision. Following this paradigm, we expect that no religious tradition be required to officiate or bless a marriage that it does not recognize as valid. But, we also expect that no religious tradition be prohibited from officiating or blessing a marriage that it does recognize as valid. We affirm that as a civic matter, it is the state's responsibility to remain theologically neutral when enacting legislation that seeks to define civil rights, relationships and responsibilities. Equal access to marriage is a civic issue of social justice that the legislature is in the position to remedy.
If you are a religious leader interested in joining the coalition, please read the "Declaration." You can register with the coalition by sending an email indicating your assent. Please provide us with your faith community affiliation, your leadership position, and location. If you serve as a chaplain, or if your residence is different from your church location, you may also want to give us your town of residence.
Thank you and May God bless you,
The Rev. Eugene T. Dyszlewski (Email Gene)
Chair, Rhode Island Religious Coalition for Marriage Equality
Declaration of Religious Support for Same-Gender Marriage in the State of Rhode Island
As religious leaders from various faith traditions we come together to assert:
- The most fundamental human need is the supportive love of other human beings, and that love is demonstrated in many ways
- The arc of God's universe is toward justice, and we are called from out of our faith to pursue civil rights and fairness for all people
- The Divine, known by many names, does not ever side with expressions of hate or acts of discrimination
- The misuse of sacred texts or traditions to deny justice is wrong
- The freedom of religious belief and practice is paramount for a solid and healthy society
- The individuals entrusted with civic authority should not impose their personal religious beliefs, or any one interpretation of religious beliefs, on society as a whole, nor use them to deny rights to peoples
As leaders in faith communities we know there is a diversity of religious voices and interpretation of historical texts on many matters including sexuality, sexual expression and relationships. We affirm the right of freedom of conscience and differing perspectives of religious traditions in the matter of same gender marriage. But, with the many diverse, nuanced and multilayered interpretations and teaching of sacred texts we firmly believe it is improper for the state, and those who hold civic public office, to impose on society any theological position. We call upon the state officials to remember that Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams as a community open to religious diversity. We assert it is the state's responsibility to remain theologically neutral when in discussion about defining civil rights, relationships and responsibilities.
As people of faith we understand the great religious texts and their interpretation by wise elders to say that marriage is the sanctified commitment between two people, and the gender of the individuals is not the determining condition of such union.
As religious people we are in pain when we see the emotional hurt, spiritual distress and social damage the denial of marriage has on individuals, and the harm to the welfare of families we know and love in our congregations and religious assemblies.
Furthermore, we remind the legislators and the people of this state that civil marriage is a legal construct.
Therefore we call upon the legislators of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations to permit the civil marriage of same-gendered individuals, recognizing and affirm the stipulation that the no religious tradition be required to officiate or bless same gender-marriage.
Further, we commit ourselves to taking public action to provide education and support in the service of the right and freedom to marry by individuals of the same gender, as well as, by those of opposite genders.
The above Declaration was signed by more than 100 Religious leaders from various faith communities in Rhode Island.

Old concerns about electronics being a danger to airplane navigation have been debunked. And airlines could make some extra cash charging passengers to call a loved one from 35,000 feet.

Maxfli U/6 LC Golf Balls 18 18
Good performance The Maxfli u6 is a good ball at $24.00 a dozen. It is not a $48.00 a dozen ball. November 26, 2014
Awsom feel and added distance. I have looked at these before but always thought they were a little pricey. I received a $15.00 discount coupon and purchased a box.These feel great on the hit and I have added distance and control. This could just be a head game because they are still new but I'm going with it for now. These will be added to my Christmas and birthday wish list. ET September 23, 2014
The ball does evrything I need Price isn't too bad, very good distance ball. Good spin and tracks well on the greens August 19, 2014
Maxfli Two of them worked fine, but eventually they too were lost. August 19, 2014
Straight I play a few times a year and hit a short slice off the tee. These balls seemed to fly straight and since it had been a year since I was on the course I can only credit the balls. :-) I purchased because I had a coupon. August 19, 2014
Really Good Golf Ball This is a good golf ball for the price. Been playing these extra soft balls by Maxfli for a few years now and they have helped me keep the ball in play more by reducing spin and more distance. August 13, 2014
Great golf ball Good distance and control. Good value when on sale. August 7, 2014
Outstanding golf ball Have played several rounds with the Maxfli U/6 LC ball. I would say this ball is very comparable to the feel of a Titleist NXT Tour S. Very high quality feel. With the special pricing and discounts, the price was in the same range as well. Will definitely look to purchase this brand again. July 2, 2014
Good ball! New to golf but they seem to be very nice golf balls. Got a great deal on them too, totally worth $15 a dozen with the coupon! June 11, 2014
Good ball, but might not be priced right This is a good tour-level ball. It performs as promised. However, it is almost as expensive as the Pro V1. Most golfers would find the Pro V1 a better fit. It is only a few dollars more than the U6. If the U6 was $10 less expensive than now, it would get more play. June 4, 2014

President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who met diplomats from five SAARC countries and other Asian and Middle Eastern countries today, briefed them on the causes that led to the promulgation of the new regulations to combat terrorism.
This was the first meeting between the President and diplomats since the promulgation of the new regulations yesterday.
President Rajapaksa told the 19 High Commissioners and Ambassadors he met at Temple Trees that the new regulations were necessitated by the LTTE continuing resort to terrorism and violence in its attempts to obtain a separate state.
The diplomats were told that the new regulations did not shut down the door to negotiations with the LTTE, if they were honest in the search for peace and a political solution, and could help the LTTE to enter the democratic mainstream.
The diplomats were also informed of the situation in the North and East, and how the government was handling the supply of food, other essential commodities and medicines to Jaffna. They were also made aware of the situation regarding the ongoing and uninterrupted development work in the North and East.
Those who met the President today were the Acting High Commissioners for India, and High Commissioners for Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives and Ambassador of Nepal, from the SAARC region. The Heads of Missions of Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Korea, Japan and China from the South East Asian and Far Eastern Region, and the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Palestine, Iran, Libya and Egypt from the Middle East.
President Rajapaksa is due to meet diplomats from other countries tomorrow.

News Releases
SYRACUSE, NY The abundance of shots, in addition to the three points from Eric Manlow lifted the Grand Rapids Griffins up to 4-3 victory over the Syracuse Crunch Sunday evening, snapping a frustrating 5-game losing streak at the Onondaga County War Memorial.
The Griffins scored first during their 16th 5-on-3 opportunity of the year of which they only connected for the second time this season when Eric Manlow buried a one-timer off a pass from Jiri Hudler breaking his 16-game goalless drought. Kyle Quincey drew an assist on the play as well and the goal came at 6:41 of the first period.
The Crunch answered back at 9:15 of the period when Jeff Szwez snuck a rebound from Mark Hartigans shot past Joey MacDonald. Ole-Kristian Tollefsen also assisted on the goal.
Jeff Szwez soon recorded his second goal of the evening during a power play at 18:25 of the first period off assists from Aaron Johnson and Andy Delmore. Despite dominating the play by out-shooting the Crunch 21 to 10, the Griffins found themselves trailing 2-1 at the end of the opening period. The 21 shots mark the most the Griffins have recorded in a single period thus far this season.
The shots would soon pay-off for the Griffins early in the second when the red hot Donald MacLean sent a centering pass to the slot that deflected off Syracuse goaltender, Andrew Penners stick and into the net during a power play at 2:25 of the period. Crunch forward Ben Simon soon spoiled the tie game when he blasted a shot past Joey MacDonald off a pass from Andy Delmore at 7:11 of the period.
In his return to Syracuse and with family members watching, Kent McDonell tied the game at 3 goals apiece at 4:55 of the third period during a Griffins power play when he slid the puck between the legs of Andrew Penner. Both Eric Manlow and Kyle Quincey added points to their night as they assisted on the goal.
Grand Rapids was later presented with another 5-on-3 opportunity where they kept intense pressure on the Crunch which led to Eric Manlows second goal of the night just after the power play expired when he snapped his own rebound past the Syracuse netminder off assists from Jiri Hudler and Darryl Bootland. The goal would stand as the game winner as the Crunch pulled goaltender Andrew Penner in the closing minute but came up short with the man advantage.
The Grand Rapids Griffins will carry this boost of confidence into Milwaukee Wednesday night as they prepare to take on the Admirals at the Bradley Center at 8 p.m.

The CEO of Evolution Of Style, Jon Mustich, had some great things to say about rendeznew:
My business requires me to meet with clients, many of whom I have never met, in a comfortable atmosphere. Living in Los Angeles picking a place to meet is always a challenge because of many factors. Distance, locations, and of course the biggest of which is traffic! I started using rendeznew as a way to find a central meeting place that would be convenient for both me and my clients. The best feature that I enjoy is the ability to mail directions to each party based on their locations. In addition, if you are going during high traffic times you can click "avoid highways" as a way to give everyone directions in order to get there on time! Generally, I am out of my office so this makes it easy to make the meeting process simple for my clients. I have to say I've used rendeznew about 10 times and I think 9 of those times my clients loved the ease of it and it always gives me a great location to meet! Thanks!
Thanks Jon! We appreciate the kind words and hope other business owners enjoy using our services. Keep meeting in the middle!
