50 Drupal Newspaper and magazine showcase video from Newstools 2008
Last week I helped organize Drupal day at Newstools 2008. At our peak, we had 65 journalist in the room and 35 watching online. We had several presentations:
* Introducing Drupal for Newspapers
* Showcase video (shown below)
* Jose Zamora on the Knight Drupal initiative
* Neil Drumm's presentation of mashing-up congressional voting records with campaign donations
* Mark Burdett presented his work on integrating Drupal with video hosted at archive.org and mobile video
* Neil Drumm and myself talking about security and why it's helpful to use a framework like Drupal that provides reviews and tools to avoid common security mistakes.
* Benjamin Melacon and Neil Drumm on installing Drupal 6
* Daniel Meredith from Google News
I think Drupal day was a big hit and a lot of journalists were able to see that they could use open source software to build an online newspaper with Drupal.
Drupal Rocks Newspaper and Journalism Websites from Drupal Rocks on Vimeo.
I am working on polishing up my "Newspapers on Drupal" slide deck. If you'd like a preview, and would be willing to provide some feedback please let me know. I hope to get it finalized this week.
I would to have a preview and provide some feedback on your slide "Newspapers on Drupal".
You may want to include on your Drupal Rocks slide http://voyages.liberation.fr and http://next.liberation.fr to subsite of a French Daily newspaper.
I was involved in project management for the first one.
Also in France you have http://observers.france24.com and http://www.france24.com with 4 millions users a month.
Here are a few general comments - I've sent some more detailed comments in an e-mail.
* Great idea - the slideshow will be useful for many, including me.
* Not all presented sites are newspaper or journalism websites.
* If possible (but it probably isn't), it would be useful to click the
slideshow to go to the site presented at that frame. If not, a list of
presented sites (in order) might be useful. (I felt the urge to have a
closer look at a few of the sites, and presumably I'm not the only
* The change-slide effect (flying image) becomes annoying after 10-20
slides. I would prefer something less attention-seeking.
* The time for presenting each slide is fine, eventhough the entire
slideshow is a bit long.
I mistook this slideshow for anotherone, which I was going to review.
Just disregard my comments if you find them too harsh/ungrateful, and
do whatever with them if you find them useful.
I would really like to help you with your slides presentation as we are working on building a new newspaper/review website using Drupal 6. I think building a site while viewing this information could really help us both as I'd be able to provide good feedback during the process.
I've been working with Kieran on the slideshows. I'm making updates to both the Newspaper and Journalism showcase slideshow and the overall Drupal showcase slideshow.
If anyone wants to use the screenshots, they are all over on this spot at Skitch:
(The original use for these slideshows were for display on a big screen at conferences/tradeshows.)
Unfortunately UNR's Reynolds School of Journalism dropped Drupal. When the server is running, you can see they've devolved OurTahoe.org into little more than a WordPress site that uses SoundSlides for multimedia. Not sure you want to include that site in your slideshow.

There is nothing like company coming over for a little motivation to clean your house and take care of those put-off tasks. (I'm sure you are much better than I am!) After painting my daughter's room this summer, I have been lax at putting everything up on the walls. But out-of-town company will be coming soon and I thought this was just the motivation I needed to get her room finished.
Half way through the task of hanging items on her wall, I stumbled on this amazing idea on Pinterest. It is so good, you're going to love it. It is that good. No more measuring down and over to where the hole should be from the edge of the frame. No more pulling out the measuring tape to hang one picture. It really is amazing! And it is so simple to do.
How to Make It: Drive the nail through the wood just enough that you will leave a mark on the wall when pressed.
Hang your mirror/picture on the nail, supporting it as needed.

Area school districts review security in wake of tragedy
By Steve Metsch, Diana Novak and Art Golab Staff Reporters December 14, 2012 8:58PM
Renata Calderon greets her daughter Brooklyn Calderon, 5, after school at Budlong Elementary School in Chicago, Ill., on Friday, December 14, 2012. | Andrew A. Nelles~Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 16, 2013 6:12AM
School districts throughout the area were taking a second look at their security plans in the wake of the horrific shootings in Connecticut, but at least one local school official said it's impossible to guarantee total safety for children.
"If someone is bound and determined to do something like that, it is impossible to prevent it," said Tim Baldermann, former Chicago Ridge police chief and now superintendent of Union School District 81, which serves parts of Joliet and New Lenox. "All you can do is try to contain it as quickly as possible."
In Chicago, CPS officials reminded every public school that doors must be locked at all times and identification is required of everyone inside the school.
"We have really solid emergency management plans, one of which includes a scenario for an active shooter," said Jadine Chou, chief safety and security officer for CPS.
CPS employs more than 1,000 security officers, and all schools have metal detectors available, though not all principals choose to use them.
In the event of a shooter, teachers are instructed to implement a lockdown by locking their doors, turning off the lights and keeping the students quiet and still, Chou said. The schools have worked with the Chicago Police Department to run police drills inside the schools to practice their roles in the lockdowns.
Each principal maintains a crisis manual containing instructions on how to identify and handle students who may be a risk to themselves or others, though "it's usually left to a counselor or clinician to make that kind of assessment," Chou said.
But a spokesman for the teachers' union voiced concerns about the number of social workers and counselors available to the students who need them.
"The people who are most skilled at dealing [with violence like this] have been drastically reduced in our schools," said union spokesman Jackson Potter.
But what if the shooter is not a student and not an outsider, as in Connecticut?
"Part of the frustration is the security measures we have in place are all designed to keep out someone who is not supposed to be in the building," said Robert Machak, Superintendant of Evergreen Park Elementary School District 124. "I understand (the shooter) was the son of a teacher, so if you have a relative whom is known to the school or a parent known to the school, you'd let them in."
Outside Chicago's Budlong Elementary School in Lincoln Square, parents talked in hushed tones about the Connecticut tragedy as they waited for their kids Friday.
"It was heartbreaking, I teared up, I have a kindergartner here so it kind of hit home," said parent Renata Calderon. "You don't feel safe anywhere anymore."

Kadner: A search for honor in Congress
By Phil Kadner email@example.com February 25, 2013 10:34PM
FILE - In this Oct. 16, 2011 file photo, Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., D-Ill., is seen during the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington. A spokesman at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota said Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012, Jackson has left the clinic, where he was being treated for bipolar disorder for the second time since taking a leave of absence in June. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)

A congressional successor to Jesse Jackson Jr. likely will be chosen Tuesday.
I hope it matters.
A job that pays $174,000 a year and allows a person to have a role in molding the future of the most powerful nation in the history of the world ought to matter.
Jackson used his position of honor as the representative of the 2nd Congressional District to purchase elk heads that adorned his office walls, buy fur capes and shuttle a "social acquaintance" from Washington, D.C., to Chicago.
No wonder 16 Democratic candidates appear on today's primary election ballot. The job has its perks.
Actually, two of those candidates have dropped out of the race, state Sen. Toi Hutchinson, of Olympia Fields, and the lesser-known O. Patrick Brutus.
Because they notified the Cook County clerk's office too late to have their names removed from the ballot, notices will be passed out to voters at polling places, telling them that Hutchinson and Brutus are no longer running for the right to someday buy Michael Jackson memorabilia.
Five names will appear on the Republican ballot, but one of them also pulled out of the race.
Because more than 80 percent of 2nd District voters pulled Democratic ballots in the presidential primary election a year ago, it's safe to say the Republican candidate doesn't stand much of a chance in the April 9 special election.
But does it really matter?
It apparently matters a lot to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has spent more than $1 million of his money through a super PAC to try to elect Robin Kelly, of Matteson, to Congress and defeat former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson, of Crete.
The TV commercials run by Bloomberg's political action committee tell people that Kelly would vote for assault weapons bans and Halvorson would not.
I find it offensive that a political action committee based on the East Coast would attempt to influence an Illinois election.
But this is the situation created by the U.S. Supreme Court, which believes the Founding Fathers wanted the wealthiest Americans to spend millions of dollars on TV commercials to help the ignorant masses choose the best political candidates for office.
As a result, the race in the 2nd District is being viewed by some as the first test on where the entire nation stands on gun control in the wake of the school shootings in Connecticut.
If Kelly wins, it's a victory for those who don't want to see children murdered in the streets. If Halvorson emerges victorious, it's two more years of homicide in Chicago, according to Bloomberg.
Halvorson believes this is unfair because she has never voted in favor of homicide, just the right of people to own guns, which the Founders said could be carried by street gang members.
Chicago Ald. Anthony Beale (9th) thinks it's unfair as well because he voted for gun control in the city council, and a billionaire isn't helping his campaign.
People with money don't have to explain themselves.
As for the rest of the Democratic candidates in this race, no one seems to care much about what they think.
This is the democratic process in 2013, and it ought to matter to people.
It ought to matter to the unemployed, homeowners facing foreclosure, parents trying to pay the mortgage or save enough to send their children to college.
Heck, when our country bombs another because that nation has weapons of mass destruction, it ought to matter that none of those weapons are ever found.
That's what Congress is supposed to do. Provide a check on the powers of the presidency.
But it's hard to make the case that it really matters these days.
Bobby Rush and Danny Davis have been in Congress for about 150 years or so. They didn't stop the economy from collapsing or improve public education in Chicago or stop the children from being shot to death.
But voters are hoping today that some freshman congressman from the 2nd District will make a difference in their lives.
I understand that. Heck, I still get weepy whenever I see Mr. Smith doing his filibuster routine on behalf of a national boys camp in that old Frank Capra movie.
Can you see Kelly, Halvorson or Beale making that kind of stand, risking their political futures to rail on the floor of the Capitol against the corrupt political bosses back home?
Well, they can't do much worse than Jackson Jr., or his predecessor Mel "MR" Reynolds. That's the former congressman who thought he won the lottery when a 15-year-old girl agreed to have sex with him.
Reynolds went to prison and believes voters will return him to Congress because, well, we all make mistakes.
Why Reynolds is listed as "MR" on the ballot is unexplained, although it may have something to do with his instructions to schoolgirls.
When he first ran in 1995, Jackson said he would do better than Reynolds. And now all the candidates contend that they will do better than Jackson.
What "better" means in the 2nd District may be up to the discretion of a federal judge.
It ought to matter who sits in Congress.
"There is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress," Mark Twain once wrote.
"If I studied all my life, I couldn't come up with half the number of funny things passed in one session of Congress," humorist Will Rogers said.
Whoever wins in the 2nd District will be referred to as "honorable" by their peers in Congress.
They addressed Jackson and Reynolds that way. It didn't mean a damn thing.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Marky!
Facts about Marky
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Marky's Info...
I am good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This adorable pup is the result of an uncared for and unwanted female dog. She was left to die with no one to help her. A kind and generous volunteer stood up and helped her out. She delivered 8 beautiful healthy babies that will be loved and wanted.
The puppies are Abby, Baby, Buster, Cinco, Dixie, Kenai, Marky and Scout and will be ready for their new homes after December 12. You may choose your favorite now and he/she will be held until they are ready. They will have their age appropriate vaccinations and will be ready for a spay or neuter when they are adopted. These cuties will not last long. Call today to reserve yours.
You may call their foster mom at 573-759-7142 or 907-315-0267 or send an email to email@example.com for additional information
An adoption donation of $150 will help with their vet costs. If you choose to reserve a specific puppy, there will be a $50 non-refundable deposit which will be applied to the adoption donation.
Other Pets at Loving Paws Adoption Center/ Pulaski County Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Marky, a Crocker Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie for sale in Crocker, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie puppy from a breeder in Crocker.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Crocker already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Crocker breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Crocker paves the way for another one to be saved.

I am thankful each day for Dr. Woolfson and his Team! It has been over 2 years that I had LASIK surgery. I was very nervous but would do it in a heart beat!! Well worth the investment.
A week in and LASIK has far surpassed my expectations. If anyone is considering it I highly recommend Woolfson Eye Institute, Dr Woolfson, and Dr David Smith. They are the best in the biz.
If you are suffering from RK surgery from the 90's (which was great in it's day) like I was, please, please, please do yourself a favor and get a consult from Dr. Woolfson. I had my left eye corrected in November and my right eye yesterday! 100% satisfied!!! They have great financing options. I paid for the second surgery through my health savings account at work.

The 2014 LaCrosse gets a refreshed exterior with LED highlights, the interior gets new seats, the latest IntelliLink, eight-inch infotainment system, and the available ultra luxury interior package which includes: semi-aniline leather seats and trim, synthetic suede headliner and door pillars, and Shadow Tamo Ash wood décor...Read more
The Buick LaCrosse is the automaker's flagship sedan that sits above the Regal and Verano. It offers luxury and refinement, and is one of the quietest sedans in the segment.
The 2014 LaCrosse comes in front-wheel drive with a choice of an eAssist I-4 or V-6 engine, a no-cost choice that comes down to preference. The 182-hp 2.4-liter I-4 makes 172 lb-ft of toque and is coupled to an electric motor that allows the engine to shut off and smoothly restart when the car stops. The eAssist I-4 combination, coupled to a six-speed automatic, nets an EPA-estimated 25/36 mpg city/highway, an improvement over the previous unassisted I-4 that got 19/30. Buyers who opt for the 3.6-liter V-6 get 304 hp and 264 lb-ft, a six-speed automatic, and optional all-wheel drive. The EPA rates the V-6 cars at 17-18/26-28 mpg, with a slight penalty for the AWD.
The 2014 Buick LaCrosse received a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars), and in IIHS testing it received a rating of good for the categories in which it has been tested (the highest-available rating is good). The LaCrosse comes with two levels of safety features (Driver Confidence 1 and 2) with features including full-speed-range adaptive cruise control and a safety alert seat which takes inputs from the different safety systems and uses haptic feedback in the seat to alert the driver to possible hazards.
In a Driven review of a 2012 Buick LaCrosse with the eAssist I-4 we said, "In all, the eAssist system is a very painless and unobtrusive way to get compact-car gas mileage in a big, comfortable sedan." We appreciated the car's refinement and thought the real wood was a nice interior touch. The problem we see is with the Chevrolet Impala, which shares the same platform and is creeping into near-luxury territory. "If you look past the volume Impala LT to the LTZ model, you'll be hard-pressed to figure out why the Buick version is more premium…" we said. For buyers it seems to come down to preferred design and what incentives your local dealer might have.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Homewood kicks off holiday season Friday
By Steve Metsch firstname.lastname@example.com December 5, 2012 3:42PM
Homewood's annual "Holiday Lights in Homewood" celebration will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Dec. 7. | Supplied photo
Updated: January 7, 2013 6:04AM
The holiday season gets started in Homewood with the annual "Holiday Lights in Homewood" celebration from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday.
The event kicks off in Irwin Park with the annual tree lighting ceremony and Santa's arrival at 6:30 p.m.
On Hickory Road, attendees will view an ice sculpting demonstration beginning at 7:30 p.m. by Nadeau's Ice Sculptures, an ice-carving company based in Chicago.
In addition, Foundation 153 will sell premium Fraser Firs from Michigan beginning at 3 p.m. There will also be a music tent featuring holiday music and a brass band, starting at 7:30 p.m.
There will be an antique car parade along Martin Avenue, ice sculpting demonstrations, live reindeer, a bonfire and music tent.
Many businesses in Homewood are extending their hours for easy shopping, and free musical trolleys will shuttle shoppers between locations.
One of the highlights is the ice rink on Martin Avenue just south of Ridge Road.
The rink will open for the season during Friday's event. It then will be open from 2 to 8 p.m. every Saturday through Dec. 22. Skate rental is free. Great Lakes Bank is sponsoring the rink.
"This is a dynamite way to begin the holiday season," Homewood Mayor Rich Hofeld said.
"'Holiday Lights' is a family tradition here. And this year is made especially exciting with the introduction of the ice rink. I'm excited to see everyone in Homewood lace up their skates," Hofeld said.
Many businesses will feature free children's craft activities, holiday hors d' oeuvres and discounts, including Art4Soul, Bella Vita, Global Fusion, Grape & Grain, Homewood Florist, Kirschner Vision Group, Nail Savvy, Nathalie Interiors and Gallery, Melody Mart, Salon J, Spaah's Skincare & Bodyworks, Suzie's Hallmark, Tessa's Dollhouse, The Village Door, Village Artists and World of Enrichment.
"It's wonderful to see all of Homewood come out to support the local businesses," Homewood Florist owner Marty Arrivo said. "Homewood has a wonderful sense of community and festivity. And 'Holiday Lights' really shows how much fun Homewood has when it gets together."
In addition, the village of Homewood is presenting a special train exhibit next door to Suzie's Hallmark, 18065 Harwood Ave. The exhibit will feature model trains in holiday scenes.
For more information visit www.homesweethomewood.com.
"Holiday Lights in Homewood" is sponsored by the village, Homewood-Flossmoor Park District, Homewood-Flossmoor Lions Club, Homewood Fire Department and members of the Downtown Homewood Business Association.
Tracey Anderson, recreation supervisor at the park district, said the event is very popular every year. She especially likes it when Santa presses a large button that lights up a tall evergreen tree.
After that job is finished, Santa sets up in the gazebo in the park and proceeds to listen to boys and girls with their special Christmas wishes.
"There's always a good turnout. It's very crowded. There will be a couple bonfires so people can stay warm. We've had some snow in past years, but it's always a good turnout," Anderson said.

(ARA) - Standing up for your friend as her maid of honor or bridesmaid is a special experience you'll both remember all your lives. Yet your happiness for your friend, and your joy at participating in her wedding, can be tempered by concerns about the costs associated with being a member of the wedding party.
Just like the bride and groom, attendants often need to use credit to fund their wedding experience, including the cost of a dress, gift for the happy couple, the bachelorette party and perhaps traveling to the wedding location. Still, if you rely too much on credit, you could end up with debt - which is a lot worse than a dress you'll never wear again.
Careful planning and an honest discussion with the bride and groom about cost control can help ensure no one overspends on the big day.
Before you agree:
The first question you should ask yourself is: "Can I afford to be in this wedding?"
If the person asking for your participation is your best friend in the world, and saying "no" will harm your relationship, you'll have to find a way to fund your bridesmaid duties without breaking the bank. But if the invitation comes from a friend you're not particularly close to, it may be appropriate to decline, especially if the associated costs will be a financial hardship.
When the answer has to be "yes," your next move should be to assess your finances. How much cash can you reasonably set aside between now and the time the bills start to arrive? How much of your participation will need to be funded through credit?
If you know credit will be a big part of your wedding party budget, monitoring your credit for a few months may help you manage your finances. Membership in a product like CreditReport.com offers members valuable tools to help them monitor their credit for a monthly fee.
When it's time to say "yes":
Once you have an idea of how you can budget, it's time to have a candid discussion with the bride and groom. Let them know what you're comfortable with, and what will be beyond your budget. Determine what their expectations are for the costs you'll bear, and what they'll pay for.
If you find that your financial abilities and their expectations are too far apart, give them the opportunity to reconsider their invitation for you to be in the wedding.
Ironing out money matters at the beginning of the wedding planning process will help ensure you don't have to distract the bride and groom with the discussion as their big day approaches - and their stress levels go up.
When you're committed:
Once you've said yes and agreed on expenses, it's time to put your plan into action. Begin setting aside money right away, even if the wedding is a year away. The longer you have to save cash, the less you'll need to rely on credit as the wedding approaches.
Look for ways that you can cut expenses without impacting the wedding itself. For example, if the bridesmaid's dress must come from a pricey boutique, perhaps you can find matching shoes for less at a different retail store. If you'll be traveling to the wedding in another state - or even another country - shop for the best airline deal, and explore the possibility of using reward miles or hotel points to help defray your travel costs.
Compromise with the bride: If she agrees to let you wear your favorite little black dress, rather than drop a few hundred on something new that you'll never wear again, make it up to her by helping out in some other way. Perhaps you're a skilled crafter who can make one-of-a-kind favors for the reception. Maybe your graphic design skills could help her save money on custom-designed invitations. Or perhaps you can use your flower-arranging skills to help her save money on centerpieces, boutonnieres and bouquets.
With some advanced planning and loving honesty, you can help ensure your friend's big day is as perfect as possible-and that the only thing you're left with afterward are happy memories.

Van Dessel Rivet Road Bike - 2013
Van Dessel makes no qualms about designing their bikes with the athlete in mind and the Rivet gets right to the core of their needs. The Rivet is performance, function and dependability in its purest form. Quite simply, the Van Dessel Rivet has the best of modern technology matched to their renowned state-of-the-art carbon frame.Van Dessel uses a process that they call tube-to-tube wrapping. The result is a lighter, stronger frame with tighter tolerances and specific butting. The frame is reinforced in crash susceptible areas as well without adding unnecessary weight. The Rivet features an oversized bottom bracket for added stiffness under acceleration and to house the BB30 bottom bracket. Instead of using a house brand fork, Van Dessel uses an ENVE 2.0 full carbon fork, which is 100% unidirectional molded carbon fiber from steerer tube to drop out, and weighs in at a remarkably light 350 grams. The head tube is tapered 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" to accommodate both the fork and the demand for maximum stiffness under rider torque. The frame has a gorgeous matte black finish and duo-tone Van Dessel branding on the seat and down tubes.
The Rivet is covered in all-new SRAM Red. SRAM shed weight, improved function and overall cosmetic design for 2012. The DoubleTap controls have an ErgoFit textured body that improves grip and finger wrap due to reduced hood diameter. The results are better control and a more natural transition from the shifter to the handlebar. It has an easier to access individual reach adjust for comfort and the ZeroLoss shifting engages for results. The derailleurs are improved as well; most notably the front derailleur features a Yaw cage which rotates in line with the chain. This improves shifting speed and precision while eliminating the need for shifter trim. It's optimized for the chosen SRAM Red X GlideR chainrings.
The Red brakes are redesigned with a new AeroLink arm to reduce frontal area, but improve braking performance and modulation. The Aero design extends to the shape of the indexed four-position quick release, the bladed barrel adjuster, low-profile pinch bolts, and recessed spring tension adjusters; in other words nearly every nook and cranny was considered in order to make the most aero brake possible.
The SRAM Red Exogram compact 50/34 crank set is truly remarkable. In order to make it lighter, they made it bigger. In order to add stiffness, they used less material. This magic trick is accomplished by completely hollowing out the cranks all the way to the spider. The stunning X Glide R chainrings deliver seamless, flawless performance.
FSA supplies the meat of the cockpit: an SL-K seat post, OS 99 stem, and most notably a full carbon K-Force New Ergo handlebar. The K-Force bar uses a continuous 3K carbon and kevlar composite construction for superior strength and shock absorbing properties. Reinforced and textured clamping areas add durability and prevent bar slip. They weigh a mere 185 grams.
They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but that does not hold true for the Rivet. Take one look at the Van Dessel Rivet and you'll quickly see incredible design and technology. Look between the lines and you'll see no corners were cut, or opportunities missed.

A few days ago, I received a notice from the Colorado Secretary of State's office:
Business filing fee holiday extended through February$1 business filing fees conclude Feb. 28
Denver, Colo. – Today, Secretary of State Scott Gessler announced the fee holiday for all online business filings and notaries public applications will continue through the end of February. Beginning March 1, these filings will revert to their previous rate or lower, while the non-profit fee holiday remains in place.
It seems pretty clear that ALL ONLINE BUSINESS FILINGS has no caveats. Yet when I went to file one such form, a Cure of Delinquency (for having missed filing a form that says "Yes, this is our address) they hit me up for $60. A phone call yielded a bunch of moralizing about how the fee holiday is for people who are law-abiding and pay their fees on time. I hold that "ALL" still means all, and they should keep to their word. They don't want to budge.
What do you say?
Care to weigh in personally, Scott Gessler?

all about it!
This just in: The official blogger has returned!
We are here at the arrival of Ebony, w31's blogger for tribalwars.net, hoping to get a short interview or even a few words from her. Here she comes! Hello Ebony, I am Mary Santiago, head reporter of the CNN News. What I and the world would like to know is what are you going do next?
Well Mary, I am glad to be back and ready to start blogging again. My goal for this month is to post 2 blogs and four amazing blogs next month.
Well, welcome back Ebony! Any other comments you'd like to add?
Yes, I would like to thank Jeho for filling in as the guest blogger for w31. I would also like to thank Jesseiam2 & BlazingMonkey for helping her with the completion of the blogs.
Thankyou Ebony. This is Mary Santiago reporting out. Stay tuned to read Ebony's first blog since her arrival.
Guess what! Sunday was exactly one year from the day I started blogging! Im so Excited! So for the blog today I will do a series of comparisons. What is happening now compared to what happened back than…
The stats below are stats from July 17, 2010 & July 17, 2011. This date was the first day I started blogging!!
Free - yellow FearUs- Sky Blue Rie. F – Red ~ONE~ - Lime Chosen- Pink
PUSH! – Grey ~LEP~ - Green Karma – Purple
Extra | SelectShow> | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The percentages are not the percentages owned in the world! Just the percentages over the top ten tribes.
Top 10 tribes today!
Free – yellow FuRie – Purple ~FHS~ – lime green BOA – pink RR - sky blue
Bash! – Red ~Grim~ – Maroon Limbo – Blue Chosen – Teal
I decided to go with the pie charts because you can tell how much has changed in so little time.
Free has kept their name on the top of the list and gained 228.639.103 points!
For everyone who wasn't aware of this – *Rie*, -Rie-, Lie, and FearUs merged and created FuRie and Fu-Rie. (Fu-Wee is not apart of this family)
The world has changed so much and most of the tribes that existed a year ago has vanished from our world.
The tribe =V= has changed its name to ~GRIM~ and has went from rank 11 to 7 this year. (Rank 6 tribe if you count FuRie. F together as one rank)
- ~FHS~ has went from rank 16 to rank 5! (Rank 4 tribe if you count FuRie.F as one rank)
- BASH! was not here a year ago, but they have honestly shown their face and made a name for themselves. Ranking 4 in our world and fighting whatever gets in their way.
W31 has truly changed!
Last year there was a total 243 tribes and only 231 were above 126 points. Today we have 38 tribes and 31 are over 126 points.
Last year we had a total of 2255 players on w31. Today we have 385 and 373 of them are bigger than 126 points.
What's ^ with the World War?????

Origin of LINE
noun \ˈlīn\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of LINE
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Basic element of Euclidean geometry. Euclid defined a line as an interval between two points and claimed it could be extended indefinitely in either direction. Such an extension in both directions is now thought of as a line, while Euclid's original definition is considered a line segment. A ray is part of a line extending indefinitely from a point on the line in only one direction. In a coordinate system on a plane, a line can be represented by the linear equation ax + by + c = 0. This is often written in the slope-intercept form as y = mx + b, in which m is the slope and b is the value where the line crosses the y-axis. Because geometrical objects whose edges are line segments are completely understood, mathematicians frequently try to reduce more complex structures into simpler ones made up of connected line segments.

Wife of poisoned lottery winner hopes 'God will reveal the truth'
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO AND MITCH DUDEK Staff Reporters January 8, 2013 3:18PM
Chicago police are investigating the death of Urooj Khan, a $1 million lottery winner, as a homicide. | Illinois Lottery photo

Updated: January 9, 2013 8:58PM
At the beginning of the holiest month for Muslims, Urooj Khan and his family sat down in their West Rogers Park home for a traditional Indian Kofta curry — a meal that would be Khan's last.
Just a few hours later, Khan — a jovial, hardworking businessman who had won the lottery less than a month earlier — collapsed and died, from what investigators now say was cyanide poisoning.
Khan's wife, Shabana Ansari, told the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday that she prepared her husband's final meal on that July 2012 evening. Ansari, who had been married for 12 years, also wants it made clear that she had nothing to do with her husband's death.
"No, I loved him to death," the 32-year-old said, leaning in close, her unblinking eyes locked on her visitor's. "I loved him and he loved me the same way."
And she is eager for investigators to dig up his body to learn "the truth."
"I really want them to go for it because I really want to know what exactly happened," the soft-spoken Ansari said. "I wish God will reveal the truth — the sooner the better."
In November, the Cook County medical examiner's office reclassified Khan's July 20 death as a homicide by cyanide poisoning and haven't named anyone as a suspect. Stephen J. Cina, the county's chief medical examiner, said this week that the investigation appeared likely to involve exhuming the 46-year-old's body for further testing.
Khan's death — less than one month after he won $1 million with an instant lottery ticket — was initially classified as natural, from hardening of the arteries. But a few days later, Cina's office got a call from one of Khan's relatives, who suggested that investigators should dig deeper. Further testing revealed a lethal dose of cyanide. In an interview with the Sun-Times this week, Cina wouldn't name the relative who called his office.
On Tuesday, Ansari said she doesn't have any idea what killed her husband, a man she described as a "very great husband." She also said the lottery winnings are tied up in "probate."
Ansari looks younger than her 32 years, but sounds older — a consequence perhaps of the uncertainty and the stress she's been under recently.
Ansari described her husband as extremely hardworking but physically healthy at the time of his death. She noted he had been taking some antibiotics to treat a problem mole on his thigh.
"He was perfectly OK," she said. "As a matter of fact, he was very busy running around here and there" taking care of the family's three dry-cleaning businesses.
Ansari said the family, which includes a teenage daughter and Ansari's father, ate the curry dinner July 19 in their West Pratt home without incident. It was only later, in the middle of the night, when Khan began to feel ill, Ansari said. Instead of lying in bed, he was sitting in a chair, Ansari said.
"He got up from the chair and then he collapsed," Ansari said. "Then I called 911."
Khan was pronounced dead at 4:25 a.m. July 20, at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston.
Ansari said she's cooperating with investigators, giving them access to the chemicals used in the family dry-cleaning business, which don't include cyanide, she said.
Ansari, whose family is originally from the city of Hyderabad in southern India, spoke inside one of the family's dry-cleaning stores at Western and Jarvis on Tuesday. She said her husband was immensely proud of his American dream. Ansari said she's "so depressed," but she can't abandon what her husband accomplished.
"This is his achievement," she said, gesturing to the racks of plastic-wrapped garments. "I can't let it go. This is his dream."


text: Canadian and American cousins Wiraton Willie and Punxsutawney Phil agreed on one thing Sunday….six more weeks of winter. That was the Groundhog Day prediction and sure enough another band of snow is headed our way mid week. The National Weather Service predicts one-to-three inches of snow tomorrow night with another couple of inches possible Wednesday. Portions of Indiana and Ohio see Winter Storm Watches as the latest round of wet weather takes aim. Friday marked the end of the month of January which local forecasters say was the snowiest on recording Detroit and Flint with over 30-inches recorded. It was also the coldest in Detroit since 1977 according to the National Weather Service.

Miu Miu
- Look to Miu Miu for inspiration on how to wear your mules - the fashion house showed the shoe in an array of colours and in satin, patent leather and velvet.
- Oscar de la Renta presented the season's most decorative designs - covered in intricate jewels and gems.
- Although mules are most commonly closed-toe - and have been since their rise to popularity in the 18th Century - Rochas and Fendi both opted for open-toe designs for spring/summer 2012.
