Drupal Association members fund grants that make connections all over the world.
Last updated March 26, 2013. Created on March 26, 2013.

This guide is a basic tutorial for the process of converting legacy page callbacks to new-style controllers. It is not a guide for porting from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8; it assumes that you're working with a fairly recent copy of Drupal 8 HEAD. (A contrib module guide for porting from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 can be based off of this document later.)
We will demonstrate the process by looking at the Book module in core. These are real-live examples (based on a true story!) of a core callback getting converted. Some snippets have been reformatted or tweaked to help illustrate a point. There are a lot of moving parts, so we'll take it in several passes and build up our understanding of what is going on. (This example taken directly from this issue.)
If you want to help with the conversion (please do!), see any issue with the WSCCI-Conversion tag or stop by #Drupal-WSCCI in IRC.
First, let's look at an excerpt of book module pre-conversion:
* Implements hook_menu().
function book_menu() {
$items['admin/content/book'] = array(
'title' => 'Books',
'description' => "Manage your site's book outlines.",
'page callback' => 'book_admin_overview',
'access arguments' => array('administer book outlines'),
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
'file' => 'book.admin.inc',
$items['admin/content/book/settings'] = array(
'title' => 'Settings',
'route_name' => 'book_settings',
'access arguments' => array('administer site configuration'),
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
'weight' => 100,
$items['book'] = array(
'title' => 'Books',
'page callback' => 'book_render',
'access arguments' => array('access content'),
'type' => MENU_SUGGESTED_ITEM,
'file' => 'book.pages.inc',
$items['book/export/%/%node'] = array(
'page callback' => 'book_export',
'page arguments' => array(2, 3),
'access callback' => 'book_export_access',
'access arguments' => array(3),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
'file' => 'book.pages.inc',
$items['node/%node/outline'] = array(
'title' => 'Outline',
'page callback' => 'book_outline',
'page arguments' => array(1),
'access callback' => '_book_outline_access',
'access arguments' => array(1),
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
'weight' => 2,
'file' => 'book.pages.inc',
$items['node/%node/outline/remove'] = array(
'title' => 'Remove from outline',
'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
'page arguments' => array('book_remove_form', 1),
'access callback' => '_book_outline_remove_access',
'access arguments' => array(1),
'file' => 'book.pages.inc',
// ...
return $items;
book_menu defines a whole bunch of menu items, which in Drupal 7 are also router items. Routing is the process of mapping an incoming request to the code that will deal with it; in Drupal 7, that's a "page callback" function. In Drupal 8, it's a "controller" (usually a method of a class). We've left the page callbacks themselves out of this example for brevity.

FLUSHING, Michigan -- The passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 didn't have to fight in a war to be remembered as American heroes.
The group, who tried to take back the plane from hijackers during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorists attacks, was honored Monday with a monument during a Memorial Day observance at the Flushing City Cemetery.
"We like to think of the people who died on Flight 93 as minutemen," said Gerald Burkland, national chairman of the National Society of Sons of the American Revolution, the group that presented the memorial. "They had just a moment to think about why they were going to do.
"In that moment, they decided to sacrifice so that we could be here today," Burkland added. "They are heroes above and beyond some of the people we recognize as heroes."
About 100 people gathered at the cemetery for the event, which included musical selections, tributes and salutes to veterans and prisoners of war.
The monument stands about a foot-and-a-half high and has a black granite front. A black plaque with gold lettering is molded onto the stone. It lists the names of the crew members and passengers that died during the attack, including Flushing native Todd Beamer.
Beamer, who lived in Flushing until he was 6, is remembered for the now-inspirational phrase "Let's roll," which he was heard yelling shortly before the passengers tried to take back the plane.
The phrase is noted on the plaque in large lettering.
"It brings tears to your eyes," said Flushing resident Velma Graham as she read the memorial. "All too often we're forgetting. We're beginning to take our freedoms for granted.
"They truly are heroes."
The monument cost about $1,500. It sits in front of a larger monument dedicated to the soldiers and sailors who went to war for their country.
Alex Crew, 17, is responsible for building the molding and mounting the plaque. He completed the project to earn his Eagle Scout award, which he should receive this summer.
The Flushing teen said he wanted to do a project that people would remember.
"I felt I should do something different than cleaning up a park or some other regular community service project," said Crew, a senior at Flushing High School. "I wanted to do something that would last hundreds of years and that would honor many people in the country."
The 40 people aboard Flight 93 are credited with thwarting the plane's hijackers. It is believed the terrorists had planned to crash the airliner in Washington, D.C., but the passengers fought back and the plane crashed in a field in southwestern Pennsylvania.
"You don't know how you're going to react until you're in that position," said David LaForest, post commander of VFW Post No. 5666 in Flushing. "If I were on that plane, I would've told Todd Beamer, I'm ready to roll."
State Sen. John Gleason, D-Flushing, who attended the event, said the memorial is a symbol to honor the sometimes-forgotten heroes.
"They talk about the (attack on the) Pentagon and the Twin Towers all the time," Gleason said. "They don't even talk about these people and I'm sure they saved thousands of lives."
LaForest said the crew and passengers have been deemed honorary veterans for their sacrifice.
"They're not veterans per se, but they gave their lives for their country," LaForest said. "You can't give more than that."

What Sibling Rivalry Has Wrought
Occasionally, a new liqueur will come along that gets a boost from being used in a fashionable cocktail. Where would Galliano be if not for the Harvey Wallbanger? Whither Kahlúa without the Black and White Russians? But rare is the new liqueur that becomes a go-to ingredient for bartenders creating a host of new drinks, the sort of versatile essential that Cointreau became in the 1920s, when it was used in every third or fourth cocktail. And yet, in the past two years, two new liqueurs have been widely adopted by the demanding bartenders who call themselves "cocktailians."
St-Germain elderflower liqueur hit the scene in 2007 and quickly gained near-ubiquity in high-end bars, finding its way into a flock of original modern cocktails; Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur got going in earnest last year and is on a similar trajectory.
Cooper Brothers Cocktail
1½ oz bourbon
½ oz St-Germain elderflower liqueur
¼ oz Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur
Stir, stir, stir with ice and then strain into a stemmed cocktail glass. Twist a piece of orange peel over the top of the drink. Garnish with a fresh orange twist.
Both liqueurs are made in small batches in France, both are presented in elegantly executed trophy bottles, and both have been enthusiastically praised (in 2007, St-Germain was judged best liqueur at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition; in 2008, Domaine de Canton took the prize). Remarkably, these back-to-back successes were executed by a pair of brothers, John and Robert Cooper. More remarkable still, they didn't do it together. Each has his own liqueur company, and their triumphs seem to be born of a sibling rivalry that isn't always cordial.
The Cooper brothers grew up in the liqueur business. After Prohibition, their grandfather bought the rights to a venerable American liqueur brand, Charles Jacquin et Cie. Their father, Norton J. "Sky" Cooper, kept the brand going but made his real fortune introducing Chambord, a French raspberry liqueur, to the U.S. Both of the brothers worked for years marketing that liqueur, in its distinctive globe-shaped bottle; both were left to figure out what to do next when, in 2006, their father sold Chambord to Brown-Forman -- the liquor behemoth behind Jack Daniel's -- for about $250 million.
The brothers were well positioned to make their own go at selling liqueurs -- they had experience in the production and marketing of cordials; connections with distributors, retailers, bars and bartenders; and no little capital from their shares of the Chambord sale. "You do what you know," says John Cooper, who is 34. But he wasn't eager to do what he knew as part of the family company, partly because, as he puts it, when you grow up you don't necessarily want to keep sharing a house with your siblings. "I wish my brother well," he says, before giving a simple explanation of why a partnership wouldn't have worked: "We don't get along."
For his part, Robert Cooper, 32, says that "I thought we should all climb to the top of the mountain together." But once it became clear that his brother was going to start his own company, Robert says, he also decided to stop working for his father. "If I continued to work in the family business, someday my brother would have half of whatever I built."
It's our good fortune that Robert struck out on his own, because his excellent elderflower liqueur might never have seen the light of day as a Jacquin product. In 2001, promoting Chambord in Britain, Robert went to a London bar that was making cocktails with a syrup made from fresh elderflowers and was wowed by the exotic taste. Elderflower syrup proved to be a trend -- first with London's elite bartenders, and then with many in New York and San Francisco -- and Robert Cooper thought it would be a natural as a liqueur. (The flavors in sugar syrups can deteriorate quickly, but the alcohol in a liqueur acts as a preservative.) While still at the family company, he worked at developing the liqueur for several years without much encouragement. "My father would come along and say, 'Are you still working on that flower s-?'" Now, Robert says, "My dad's eating a little crow."
"He's proven me wrong," says Sky Cooper. "I didn't realize how good it would be."
And it did take some time to develop. Batches made from frozen flowers weren't any good. But even when using fresh blossoms, Robert couldn't capture the elusive fruitiness he had tasted in the London bar's homemade elderflower syrup. He finally discovered that the bitter flavor wrecking his prototypes was coming from the stems of the flowers. He found that if the elderflower bunches were pressed ever so slightly, the petals would give up their flavor but the bitter juice in the stems would stay put.
John Cooper's ginger liqueur also took time to develop. His father had imported a Chinese ginger liqueur, Canton, for a few years in the 1990s, and it never found a following. But given the number of bartenders making fresh ginger syrups for use in original cocktails in the past few years, and the trend in pan-Asian cuisine, John recognized that the time for a fancy ginger liqueur had finally arrived. The challenge was to get a true ginger flavor that would be stable. After plenty of experimentation, he found the right formula in a maceration of both fresh and caramelized ginger.
For all that St-Germain and Domaine de Canton have in common, they are very different liqueurs. St-Germain is only lightly sugared, and its delicate flavors are friendly and easily accessible to casual drinkers. Domaine de Canton, by contrast, is intensely spiced with ginger and then honeyed heavily enough to keep the ginger heat from scorching.
Sky Cooper says he's proud of both sons, but adds that there is a downside to their success. "You have two sons you love" who are competing with each other, which "from a standpoint of family isn't always great." He's planning to convene a family meeting to see if there is a way to reunite the enterprises.
In the spirit of bringing families together, I tried my hand at creating a cocktail using both liqueurs. After playing around with various base spirits, I settled on bourbon as the drink's backbone. In adding the two liqueurs, I used Domaine de Canton sparingly, given its more aggressive flavor. The result I call a Cooper Brothers Cocktail. Robert and John may be locked in vigorous competition with one another, but their liqueurs make good partners.

I am considering starting Tebow. My options are Rothlisberger vs Ravens or Tebow vs Raiders. Rothlisberger is of course the superior player of the two but Ravens is a real tough matchup. Whereas the Raiders D sucks versus QBs, and despite Tebow's real life suckiness, he's actually put up decent fantasy numbers with all the running. And he can't really be worse than last week, right? Or do I give up on both these two and surf the waivers for an Alex Smith or Dalton type guy?
I consider Tebow BAD.
Go with Big Ben. (I'm starting him over Palmer/Tebow/etc. that I can find on waivers.) If I am going to cross my fingers and hope someone produces, I'd rather bet on a guy who has NFL talents, and has shown he can get the ball downfield rather than a guy who hasn't/can't, or some guys who just don't.
My current WR collection includes Nate Washington, Antonio Brown, Andre Johnson, and Robert Meachem. I get to start three of them, and since Meachem's absolutely worthless, I'm trying to figure out who his replacement should be. I've used Branch as an effective plug-in before and while he's inconsistent, I'm optimistic that NE will provide a revenge-beatdown in compensation for their dismal showing last week. Other available options include Doucet (although he might be gone by the time waivers subside) or Jonathan Baldwin, who might have good upside against Miami.
Also, any chance Chandler will be worth playing again this year, or should I drop him for Dustin Keller?
Need to decide between Mike Williams (TB) or Stevie Johnson. I hate starting anyone who will have Revis riding their jock the whole game. And I got a feeling that's what's going to happen to Stevie Johnson. Feels to me like a recipie for a 2 catch, 35 yard day. The problem is that Williams has been fairly awful...and so has Freeman...and so has the rest of the Bucs offense. Doesn't Williams have a better chance of somehow finding the endzone, or somehow breaking one against NO, where they will need to throw a ton? I mean - what are the odds that Johnson puts up anything of value against Revis? When was the last time Revis allowed a TD? A TD from outside 15 yards? How about the last 100 yard game against him? He aint human....Can I really start someone named STEVIE against him?

Italian Greyhounds are odd looking dogs. They are skinny and look very fragile. They look like they are nothing but skin and bones. But they have tons of muscle and can run extremely fast. They are part of a dog family called "sighthounds." Sighthounds are breeds of dogs that hunt with speed and sight, rather than scent and endurance. The Italian Greyhound is the smallest of all the sighthounds. They are only about 13 to 15 inches tall and weigh 8 to 18 pounds. They are taller than most toy dogs, so be careful when buying apparel for them. Their coats almost always have white on them. It is extremely rare to find one that is a solid color unless they are white. Occasionally they can be solid black. They are commonly found in different shades of fawn. They can also be mouse, seal, red, chocolate, sable, blue or cream.
They are extremely curious and love to get into trouble. It is smart to watch them and make sure they don't try jumping off things, because they can hurt their legs and back. Italian Greyhounds are like cats in some ways. They enjoy sitting in the sun, or sun bathing. But you must remember to make sure your Italian Greyhound does not over heat or get sunburned. They also like high up places, like the back of chairs and couches. Window seats are their favorite though. They do not like getting wet, as slot of dogs are. If they have to use the bathroom, they will not do it while it's raining. Some people resort to litter box training them. They are easy to not punish. They have big eyes that can melt your heart. But be careful, if you are too soft and not strict they will go wild and think they own the house. They do need early socialization to keep them from being aggressive towards strangers. They live about 12 to 15 years.
Italian Greyhounds are an old breed. They are seen in ancient artifacts dating back to 2,000 years ago. Most of these artifacts are found in modern day Greece and Turkey. Archaeologists have also found small greyhound skeletons. There was a small greyhound body found in the ancient city of Pompeii, a Roman city that was destroyed by a volcano. In the Middle Ages they started becoming popular in southern Europe. Italians were very fond of them, hence the name Italian Greyhound. In the 1600's they started showing up in England. Like in Italy, they were very popular. They were especially popular with royalty and aristocrats. The American Kennel Club registered the Italian Greyhound in 1886, even though they were not as popular in the United States.

The program let you choose:
- the number of significant digits in the result,
- it calculates an average of the results,
- it warns in red when a results deviates more then a give percentage from the mean,
- and many more
Advise (rules of thumb):
Do not use more than 5 doses and one blank. (This logit needs a blank! (zero dose)).
If you want to use more data points invest in multiplos instead of more doses.
The lowest point of the curves must be higher than 10 times the standard deviations of the noise in your blank
The highest point of your curves should be 10% higher in response than the second highest response.
Do not copy, move and paste in the worksheet. If the program does not work properly use a new clean copy of it.

Sheriff's deputies shot a pair of suspected robbers during a holdup Friday at a northeast Harris County strip shopping center.
Deputies said three men held up an EZPawn store along Uvalde near Wallisville. The deputies pulled up about 3 p.m., just as the robbers left the store, officials said.
The robbers drove at one of the deputies, pinning his legs against another car in the parking lot, officials said. That's when other deputies opened fire at the getaway car, authorities said.
The robbers got out of the car, but were captured. The wounded robbers were taken to an area hospital with non life-threatening injuries, officials said.
The deputy pinned against the car was taken to an area hospital but was expected to make a full recovery, officials said.
The investigation is continuing.

Forecasters said rains associated with the complex system started falling early Sunday night and will continue off and on through late Tuesday.
Most areas will see about two to four inches of rain, which could be heavy at times, but as much as six inches is possible in some locations.
The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for most of New Jersey, which will be in effect from late Sunday night through Tuesday afternoon. Flood warnings were in effect for Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Passaic and Union counties.
Costal flood Advisories were in effect for portions of Atlantic, Camden; Cape May, Ocean; Cumberland, Monmouth; Gloucester, Middlesex, Burlington, Ocean and Salem.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation website reported flooding conditions were slowing traffic on a number of highways, including The New Jersey Turnpike in New Brunswick, Route 35 in Aberdeen Township, Route 22 in Readington and Route 130 in Pennsauken Township.
The heavy rains — when combined with the already high streams and rivers and saturated soil caused by the numerous nor'easters that hit the state this year — could cause flooding, especially at small creeks, rivers and areas with poor drainage.

Colton Valle was sensational as Sanford-Fritch opened District 1-2A Division II play last week with a 49-9 victory over Tulia. Valle ran for 201 yards and four touchdowns, caught a TD pass and returned an interception for a TD.
What was the highlight of the Tulia game for you?
"That thrill of that first touchdown. That was the best part. When you turn around and see your team running after you and knowing you just scored. It's just all a great feeling."
Not many athletes have scored six touchdowns in a game. Tell us what you were thinking when all that was happening and the response you received after the game.
"It's all because of my linemen. I couldn't do anything without them. After the game you hear things like 'Great game.' 'We couldn't do it without you.' Girls and stuff don't know that much about football so you can't say, 'It's all about the linemen.' But they make it happen. So I just say 'thanks.' "
Favorite college football team and why?
"It's Texas Tech. My mom went to Tech. My brother likes Texas. I was going to get a Texas hat once when I was little and she wouldn't let me get it. She was a Tech fan. So I had to go with Tech. Now I like Texas Tech."
After losing your opener to Dalhart (42-0), your team rolled off back-to-back wins over Class 1A powers Sunray and Stratford. What did that mean for your team?
"That was an amazing swing for us. Especially to beat Stratford. We hadn't beaten Stratford in 12 years, and we beat them on our homecoming. That was a good feeling, and we really celebrated."
Are you superstitious?
"I have to wear my lucky underwear and I eat a sandwich bag of apples before every game."
Favorite sports movie?
"Friday Night Lights."
Favorite pro team?
"Dallas Cowboys."
Will the Cowboys win the Super Bowl?
"Probably not. But I would like them to."

WQED's Rick Sebak Takes a Look at Things "Right Beside The River"
WQED producer Rick Sebak celebrates the Pittsburgh region's rivers and the things you find relatively close to them.
PITTSBURGH -- One big reason why this part of the world is such a great place to live is because we have many rivers. Pittsburgh brags about the Allegheny, the Monongahela and the Ohio, but those are just three of the streams that have fostered settlement and development and surprises around here.
WQED producer Rick Sebak and his team of collaborators are celebrating our rivers and all sorts of things you can find relatively close to them in a new program titled Right Beside The River. It premieres Thursday, August 20 at 8 pm on WQED-TV.
"I don't think I ever said the word 'Kiskiminetas' before we started to work on this program", said Sebak, "but now I know it's the full name of the Kiski River. It's the biggest tributary of the Allegheny, it's where you'll find the fascinating steel town of Vandergrift, and it's where I slipped on the bank and ended up washing mud off my pants on a sunny spring day. It was just part of our constant search for surprises."
So, in this new travelogue of sorts, Sebak and crew visit the big Native-American burial mound just down the Ohio River at Moundsville, West Virginia, and end up visiting several places in the Panhandle. They find surprises along the Monongahela from Pittsburgh's South Side to Fredericktown, and several places in between. They head for Springdale and Cadogan, both on the Allegheny, and zip down to West Newton on the Youghiogheny to see what unusual things they could see there.
The documentary also includes visits to Verona, to Old Economy, and to the factory beside the Ohio River where, in the early 1940s, U.S. Steel's American Bridge division built LSTs, the biggest ships ever made in the Pittsburgh area.
WQED Pittsburgh, honored with the 2007 and 2006 Mid-Atlantic Emmy® Award for Station Excellence, was founded in 1954 as the nation's first community-supported broadcaster. WQED creates, produces and distributes quality programs, products and services to engage, inform, educate and entertain the public within its community and around the world.

Try Amazon. Pretty easy to get them over there.
March 6, 2008, 10:32 AM
Kelly, that book is not required reading to start reloading. If you insist, get it from your public library.
You should definitely buy and own at least a couple of loading manuals -- I recommend Speer and Lyman.

I just gave one away on the Pay It Forward thread!

Kelly, that book is not required reading to start reloading.This is a true statement. However, studying The ABC's will save you from a LOT of having to re-invent the wheel. Wish it had been around back when I started reloading. It contains a ton of basic how-to information, as well as info beyond the basics. Belongs on every reloader's bookshelf, well thumbed, IMHO.
:DDirections??? We're men! We don't need no stinkin' directions!!!:D
March 6, 2008, 02:12 PM
Amazon is out of stock, all my stores are out of stock. You can buy it on EBAY for about $90 (yea a little to much).
I am considering reloading and would like to start with this book. However, is there a book that would teach me start to finish as well as make recommendations on equipment?
March 6, 2008, 02:16 PM
The ABCs of reloading is an entertaining read with a lot of tips and tricks, but the Lyman reloading manual a better nuts and bolts textbook IMO.
Smokey Joe
March 6, 2008, 02:33 PM
If not available locally nor on the I'net, you can order direct from the publisher, Krause Publishing, www.krause.com
ETA--Just checked Krause's website, and The ABC's is not presently available from there. (Tho' they do have 9 pages of firearm & knife related books!) My spies @ Krause tell me that a new edition, the 8th, is due out "early this year," and they must be between editions at the moment.
Anyhow, keep an eye on Krause's website, and surely when they have some of the new edition it'll be there.
March 6, 2008, 03:45 PM
Call Midway to see if these are coming back into stock on the date they have listed here.
This one on Evilbay costs much less than $90. Buy it now for $32 shipped.
Or... If you buy/ship me a quality Stainless, Arched, Checkerd Mainspring Housing for a full size 1911, I'll send you a used copy of 3rd edition.

well, rare can't make a ninty game because they are OWNED by microsoft. they couldnt if they wanted to.

How dare you state a different point of view, you complete fanboy! /sarcasm
well, rare can't make a ninty game because they are OWNED by microsoft. they couldnt if they wanted to.
This is exactly what they are trying to do. Get previous Nintendo users who enjoyed the banjo series and now smacks them in the face with a exclusive 360 former Nintendo game and now is forcing the 360 upon them. But 360 is great, you should have it anywayOriginally Posted by Eagles
what your saying lilwiiwii^^ is right, nintendo and microsoft go hand in hand when sony is brought into the picture..but still.
Taking a franchise like this and deliberately taking it away from its original platform/console is a pisstake.
I cant help but feel like sh**
maybe it will come out on the wii too just later like how gta came out on ps2 n few months later on the xbox u kno?
This was my all-time favourite game.
Man im pissed.

Charlotte 68
Postgame comments
GW Coach Karl Hobbs
Was this the best game the team has played this year?
Are you concerned about starting so many games slowly?
Are you pleased with your current eight-player rotation?
On defending De'Angelo Alexander
GW senior F Dokun Akingbade
What was your strategy with Charlotte after last year's close game?
How do you feel about having these performances as a senior?
GW freshman G Damian Hollis
How is the transition going between high school and college basketball?
Charlotte Coach Bobby Lutz
Opening statement
"It was a very good basketball game. We're obviously pleased with the first half, with the only real mistake being that we gave up a few too many transition baskets. In the second half, we really struggled to guard. No matter what defense we were in, they managed to score very effectively. At the end of the game, we were struggling to rebound. A lot of guys had played a lot of minutes, and had probably worn down a little bit."
"GW's guards are terrific. They understand what they have to do and play very well doing whatever Coach Hobbs wants them to do."
After last year's game, did you treat today's game any differently?
"We want to win every game. We can't get to high or low in how we approach a game. We want to have the same focus. To the fans or the media, maybe one game is bigger than another. But at the end of the year, each one counts the same. Sure, we talked about playing with poise and that the students would be saying a lot of things. But I thought we handled it very well. And we have tremendous respect for their program. They were undefeated in the league last year, and are always well-coached. But we didn't spend much time talking about anything different than we normally do."
Is there a rivalry developing between Charlotte and GW?
"In some ways, yes. We've played them eight times since I've been here, and playing them twice a year helps. But we need to win some of them if you want it to be a rivalry. That's what makes it a great competition. They've done their part. We just need to do the same."

Project: Gold IRA Investment Reviews Landing Page:
My goal is to develop a landing page in unbounce, so I can duplicate, make changes and test new campaigns. My main site is a Gold IRA Review, which can be found at www.gold-ira-investment.org.
I would like to link the unbounce page to different pages within my main site and my affiliate link. An example of a landing page that I would like to mimic is:
I would like to combine that page with this page and tailor it to suit my needs:
My Landing page should include:
Lead capture form: I will need to supply code, so the form goes to the right location..
Content: I can supply most content, unless you feel you can do better.
SEO: This page needs to be Optimized. I will supply key SEO words.
Video: I will supply embedded code for video
Images: To be discussed
1 - The page is for your gold ira review site, right? Can you please show me the contents?
Yes. We are a Review Site. The contents of the site can be found at www.gold-ira-investment.org. My competitors "review sites" can be found at the following addresses:
1. www.bestgoldiracompany.com/
2. www.goldirabuyersguide.net/
3. www.goldirarollovers.com/
Notes: If you do a search in google for: "gold ira investment", "gold ira" , "ira rollover" … You will find my niche.
2 - What are your preferences for the layout, colors, styles, elements and others for the landing page. As your audience is 50+ age, so you need simple, white and easily readable landing page with enough information. What you say?
Colors: Blues, Whites, Light Grays.. Soft Inviting Colors with some Urgency messages, arrows, buttons
Layout: Please reference this site as mentioned above for layout.
Since I am a review site, I would like to implement a rating / review on the page, sort of like this and taylor it to gold ira investment review. I have already reviewed the top ten companies, so I can fill in the blanks, if you can lay it out:
NOTES: I would like to have this page be done as my word press site www.gold-ira-investment.org . I like the review format on this site and would like to tailor to suit me.. To be discussed.
3 - So, you want neat and clean and simple yet professional landing page for your gold IRA review site, right?
I would like the length of the page or less in the example I gave you at:
Yes – Neat and Clean and professional for my Gold IRA Review site.. That is correct.
4 - From the landing page, people will go to your website, is it so? Or if different, please tell me the purpose of the landing page.
Yes. From my landing page, people will go to my site and I will also send them out to my affiliate site.
5 - How you will be driving traffic to the landing page? For example, if you are using adwords banner, you need to show me the banner so that I can bring matching color and style concept in the page design.
As of right now, I am not doing any adwords. I need to do SEO first in order get the site ready for PPC. I will need your help with my marketing once we get the landing page and the wordpress site finished.
My timeline to get this landing page done is 7 days. I need it up so I can start doing ad words and bing ppc.
My goal is to work with you long term, like you stated in your email. After we finish the landing page, I will need to start working on the wordpress site to optimize and change as stated above. After that, I will need new content for gold-ira-investment.org
Upon completion of that I will want to start working on new project "Credit Repair" – To be discussed.
Please get back to me at your earliest convenience with your thoughts and idea's. Thank you.

Update: Please note this giveaway is now closed. It ended December 21, 2010
The winner from Day 2 (Chocolate bars from Ghiradelli) has been chosen! Congratulations to Hannah from The Misadventures of a Diligente Diletante!
Welcome to Day 10 of the 12 days of giveaways! We're almost done! If you haven't already entered, there's still some time to enter Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8 and Day 9!
On the tenth day of giveaways, Kirbie's Cravings gave to me…
Message Cookie Cutters!
(and for purposes of completing the song, sung to the tune of the 12 days of Christmas, here are the rest of the giveaways)
- 479° Popcorn (Day 9)
- Gift card to CHEFS (Day 8
- Sausages from Saag's (Day 7)
- CSN gift card (Day 6)
- Foodzie Tasting Box (Day 5)
- Cravory Cookies (Day 4)
- Raw Lehua Honey (Day 3)
- Five chocolate bars (Day 2)
- and $25 to Oh! Nuts (Day 1)
One lucky reader will be given a set of William Sonoma Message-in-a-Cookie Cutters. These Cookie Cutters are so cute and you can use them for so many different occasions. I love the idea of personalizing celebrations with the different messages you can create with these cookies. I wanted to bake some this weekend, but ran out of time, so sorry for the lack of pictures. This is the picture from the William Sonoma website:
I first saw them about a year ago on another blog. I immediately went to my local store to go buy them but I was told they were out of stock and would be for several months! The wait online for them was even longer. They weren't scheduled to be in stock until the summer! So I put myself on the wait list for my local store, and after completely losing hope, I suddenly got a call out of the blue one day. After picking up my purchase, I went ahead and bought two more boxes: one to give to a friend and one for this blog. At the time, I thought it would be such an exciting prize since I was sure these cutters would go out of stock again. But now, they are constantly in stock…Oh well. I still think it's a great gift.
This is a brand new, unopened set that I will to ship to the winner. The set includes three shapes and three sets of alphabet letter stamps to create your personal messages.
One winner will be chosen at random with a number generated by random.org. The contest ends December 21, 2010 at midnight PST. Please note, this contest is open to US readers only. To enter, leave a comment at the end of this post and tell me what holiday message you would put on your cookies (hopefully this will give me some ideas on what to write on mine!)
For an additional entry, follow me on twitter (if you don't already) and tweet the following message:
"Win William Sonoma Message in a cookie cutters http://bit.ly/eEHcHb @kirbiecravings" Please also leave me a comment to let me know you've tweeted this message.

Espírito Santo state and The Nature Conservancy launch restoration program
Twelve landowners in the municipalities of Afonso Cláudio and Brejetuba, located in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo, are taking part in a restoration project to plant 301,000 trees. The effort, a joint venture between The Nature Conservancy and the Guandu Consortium, a local conservation organization, is made possible by funding from the Alcoa Foundation.
The work in the two municipalities is part of a larger and ambitious undertaking focused on Brazil´s Atlantic Forest: the Plant a Billion Trees campaign, whose goal, as the name makes clear, is to have one billion trees covering the forest by 2020. Started by The Nature Conservancy in 2008, the campaign has planted more than 10 million trees with the help of its many partners, including local governments, landowners, non-governmental organizations, cooperatives and others.
The Atlantic Forest is known for its extraordinary array of biodiversity and for being one the most endangered tropical forests in the world. Coastal development, urban expansion, agriculture, ranching and illegal logging have all contributed to the degradation of 78% of this once vast landscape, an area that was originally bigger than the U.S. eastern seaboard from Maine to South Carolina. The Atlantic Forest benefits people worldwide through climate regulation and provides clean water for over 122 million people in Brazil.
The Espírito Santo government launched the Reflorestar program (meaning "reforest") to promote increased coverage of the Atlantic Forest in the state. The initiative is expected to restore more than 74,131 acres of forest by the end of 2015. The first 301 acres have been identified by the Conservancy and the Consortium, proving the feasibility of putting into practice such an important public conservation strategy.
In the second semester of 2013, the Reflorestar program will begin distributing the seedlings and other resources producers will need to start field work. Participants will then qualify for payments from the state, earmarked for landowners that restore forests and provide public benefits – like cleaner water for cities downstream. The project will generate environmental benefits for the municipalities involved, such as connecting forest remnants, biodiversity and soil conservation, and preserving the quality of water. The economic benefits include financial and technical resources, and Payment for Environmental Services (PES) for those who participate in the reforestation program. The payments range from $30 to $44 per acre per year.
Rubens Benini, an Environmental Restoration Specialist with The Nature Conservancy, says that "working in relatively small towns and getting to know the reality of small farmers is a unique opportunity to make a difference and generate actual models of sustainable development. This effort is very important to the success of the restoration of the Atlantic Forest; it enables the work in the field and provides a real opportunity to demonstrate that restoration can be attractive to farmers, who see the value of reconciling economic production with environmental conservation."

Some have thumbtack holes at the top and bottom from their use at the paper. Size 17 1/2" x 24".
Both of these comic strips are King Features Syndicate.
Four of these sheets portray Henry and black children and adults. They exhibit the stereotypical views of blacks at that time in our history.

Live updates
Poland: Russia's actions in Ukraine an 'aggression'
Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has called Russia's actions in eastern Ukraine an "aggression" that has created the most serious security crisis in Europe in decades.
"This for sure is an aggression," Sikorski told state radio. "Poland's position will be worked out in the next couple of hours."
He said the need for "strong words" had passed and called for "actions of the whole international community".
Poland broke EU human rights laws with CIA rendition
The European Court of Human Rights has found that Poland violated the EU Convention on Human Rights by allowing the CIA to detain two al-Qaeda suspects on Polish territory.
The case was brought by two Saudi-born men who said they were flown in secret to a CIA-run jail in a Polish forest and subjected to treatment that amounted to torture.
Polish officials have denied the existence of the CIA jail. The US has acknowledged that it kept al-Qaeda suspects in facilities outside the US, but has not said where.
The EU court ruled that Poland violated articles around the prohibition of torture, the right to liberty and the right to an effective investigation of their allegations.
Poland has been ordered to pay the men 230,000 euros.
Crashed plane operated by Poland parachute school
A plane which crashed in Poland had been operated by a private parachuting school, took off from the Rudniki airfield just outside Czestochowa, a fire spokesman said.
"From what we know 11 people were killed," said Justyna Sochacka, spokeswoman for the Air Rescue said
"There were 12 people onboard the plane."
A spokesman for the headquarters of fire services, Pawel Fratczak, said the crashed plane was a Piper PA-31 Navajo.
"The plane caught fire after it hit the ground," Fratczak said. The Piper PA-31 Navajo plane is produced by US firm Piper Aircraft.
Eleven feared dead in Poland parachute plane crash
An emergency medical services and fire services spokesman said eleven people were feared dead after a plane taking them on a parachute jump crashed in southern Poland shortly after take off.
One man in his forties survived and was taken to hospital in the city of Czestochowa in serious condition, 207 kilometres (129 miles) south-west of Warsaw.
Obama calls for '$1bn dollars to support Nato allies'
President Barack Obama has called on Congress to approve up to 1 billion dollars to support eastern European countries, which he says "will be a powerful demonstration of America's unshakable commitment to our NATO allies".
On the first of a four-day European trip, Obama promised support in the face of Russia's actions in Ukraine, which includes "rotating additional ground troops and F-16 aircraft into Poland".
Poland and some of its NATO neighbours have been asking for extra troops for months. However, a big increase in US forces could prompt Moscow to take similar actions.
Speaking in a news conference in Warsaw he said that while maintaining sanctions against Russia, the US still wants good relations with the Kremlin.
Nato to discuss 'reinforcing forces in Poland'
Nato defence ministers will discuss temporarily reinforcing forces in Poland, a spokesman for the German defence ministry said.
The spokesman said the 28-member alliance would consider reinforcing its Multinational Corps Northeast in the Polish town of Szczecin, in an attempt to reassure countries nervous about Russia's intervention in Ukraine.
Nato defence ministers will meet in Brussels on Tuesday to review measures the alliance had taken given Russia's actions towards Ukraine.
France to send fighter jets to Poland
France has announced it will send four Rafale fighter jets to Poland next week as part of a demonstration of Nato's commitment to central Europe and the Baltic States to assuage concerns after the escalation of the situation in Ukraine.
The French defence ministry said that the four warplanes will be sent to Malbork in northern Poland on 28 April on a double mission: to train the Polish air force and stand ready for air patrols over the Baltic states under Nato command.
Nato to meet over Ukraine as Poland 'feels under threat'
Nato has said an emergency meeting will be held on Ukraine at the request of Poland as it felt under threat from the neighbouring crisis.
Nato's Secretary General tweeted:
Tomorrow, the #NATO Council will hold a meeting under Article 4 of the Treaty following a request by #Poland http://t.co/2cpRSRBklo #Ukraine
Poland made the request under Article 4 of the Washington Treaty, meaning that "any ally can request consultations whenever, in theopinion of any of them, their territorial integrity, political independence or security is threatened."
Ukraine building seizure 'could lead to regional conflict'
The seizure of government buildings by armed men in Ukraine's Crimea region could lead to a regional conflict, the Polish foreign minister has said.
Radoslaw Sikorski said the move was "a drastic step and I'm warning those who did this and those who allowed them to do this, because this is how regional conflicts begin. This is a very dangerous game."
The German defence minister has also expressed concerns over the events on the Crimea peninsula, saying the breakup of Ukraine must be avoided.
Eastern European countries welcome Ukraine 'change'
Countries in Eastern Europe have issued their support for Ukraine, after new parliamentary speaker Oleksander Turchinov, an ally of former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, was granted presidential powers:
We welcome the ongoing democratic change in Ukraine, Yuliya Tymoshenko release. We remain firmly committed to Ukraine's European integration
Foreign Ministry welcomes agreement on settlement of political crisis in #Ukraine http://t.co/QHQ5XemwEa
We welcome the release from prison of former PM Yulia #Tymoshenko - MFA statement on recent developments in #Ukraine: http://t.co/UIVTt2ivUS

Aberdeen's Gilbert goes back on the acquisition trail
Martin Gilbert, who built Aberdeen Asset Management into one of the UK's largest asset managers, largely through acquisitions, is ready to buy some more.
In an exclusive interview with Financial News, he said he would target businesses that would give Aberdeen, now with £212.3bn under management, broader appeal. The manager wants to buy a UK business and a European equity operation.
Gilbert, who has built the company over 30 years, said the firm needed to diversify. He said: "I don't want us to be a pure equity shop. I am more interested in buying funds with one or two-star ratings, than four or five. I want access to talent, not the challenge of meeting high client expectations."
In February the firm ended a three-year break from acquisitions, buying specialist fixed-income manager Artio Global Investors for £112m and a majority stake in buyout specialist SVG Advisers for £17.5m. Gilbert has already said Aberdeen intends to buy the rest "in three years or maybe sooner".
These deals will bolster its US and private equity fund of funds businesses.
In a media conference call following the announcement of these purchases, Gilbert said: "We are very cautious, and these are well-priced deals. Our preference, as we have said, is to do small infill acquisitions that enhance earnings per share. These are very small amounts. These are weeks of cashflow rather than months, so we are not really going to make a dent in our cash generation."
Gilbert has already worked to improve the bonds division. Aberdeen bought Deutsche Asset Management's UK and Philadelphia-based fixed-income businesses in 2005; a deal to acquire businesses, including fixed income, from Credit Suisse, completed in 2009.
Gilbert moved Aberdeen into the alternatives and real estate markets with purchases including Barclays Property Investment in 2000 and Swedish property management firm Celexa the following year, forming Aberdeen Property Investors.

ShowBoats International - May 2011 - Efficiency By Design: Production Builders Meet Demand
Written by Rebecca Cahill
Today's production builders offer designs that cater to various types of people Winning models stand the test of time and provide stable resale potential for their owners, but how do builders refresh the package without ruining the recipe?
Mind-boggling arrays of choices face any buyer looking to move into the 100 to 154ft range of semi-production (or semi-custom) series yachts. Once limited, this segment of the market virtually exploded in the last decade, following the demand for bigger yachts and shorter construction times. Some once-custom builders scrambled to refine their methods to efficiently meet the demand, while already successful smaller production yards races to the drawing boards to whip up new, larger versions of their most popular products.
The recent economic crisis put the brakes on the party, and while the industry held its breath, those yards that had hedged or were too far leveraged quietly closed their doors. Production boat models that were either unproven or undistinguished in a sea of hundreds pitched silently in the marinas. Today, a handful of true production method builders capable of semi-custom conclusions have remained at or risen to the top, but their philosophies, and hence, their products are anything but identical.
Re-Designed to meet today's Demands
Perhaps no company has refined itself more or is more competitive on the production market than Westport Yachts. Since 1964, this Washington State builder has been producing turnkey yachts and dominates the 112 and 130ft market with its competitively priced and solidly built fiberglass models. What makes the Westport model so successful and allows the company to stand behind its mantra of quality builds delivered on time and on budget? "The engineering blueprint and the nuts and bolts of our boats don't change," says VP of Sales, Phil Purcell. The Westport models are building all inclusive with all of the specs handled in-house at one of the yards three facilities and are delivered fully equipped. Because the company emphasizes its internal efficiencies, its boats are fitted with proven equipment and change orders are few and far between. "We've taken the time to listen to our clients and to incorporate subtle changes over time to continually enhance our product," Purcell says. "Sometimes we have to pass on a client because the changes he might want to incorporate would harm the boat's performance, its residual value, or the production process — which in turn would affect builds underway for other clients."
Two years ago, after making a series of more subtle changes such as removing a divider between the salon and dining area and opening up the staircase — both at customer request — Westport refined its 10-year-old 130ft model to incorporate an extended sun deck, on-deck master, commercial-grade galley, and a striking new exterior profile — which features a unique bi-level seating area in her bow. Most notable, however, is that this model is now built to ABS and MCA classification, which opened a new market by making it suitable for charter.
Last year, the company took a look at its 112ft model and carefully adjusted its interior layout to offer an on-deck master with a sunken en suite in lieu of a country kitchen and VIP forward. These are a few calculated amendments Westport incorporated because the not only reflect the cruising lifestyle of today's owner, but they expand the model's appeal to an international new and brokerage audience. "When the market tells us it wants change, that's what we do," says Daryl Wakefield, Westport's president. Hull #52 of this line is now in the mold. "We can do this-boat-only changes if we know about it early in the build, but we really try to stick with the plan and stay on schedule."
Keith Maling, sales manager at the Miami office of Oceanstyle, a brokerage firm specializing in 60 to 130 footers says, "Westport has been a survivor of the recent downturn, although several yachts are now on the market, the turnover and value retention has proven very strong. Brokerage sales of the 112, 130, and 164 series yachts are steady with late models bringing seventy to eighty percent of their new retail value in resale. With the U.S. market, this simple production brand stands tall when compared with the European counterparts."...
Designed to "Re"-Sell
According to www.boatinternational.com's market analysis, Westport and Benetti production builds accounted for two of the top five selling builders on the resale market in 2010. "The market has absorbed thirteen pre-owned 112s over the last fifteen months and six pre-owned 130s over the last sixteen months," says Purcell.
"The semi-custom motor yacht market in the 100-foot-plus range has recovered well following the financial crisis. Although there has been a focus on competitive pricing, well-established brands such as Benetti, Sanlorenzo, and Sunseeker have all managed to secure strong advance orders. In more troubled times, investment and innovation with new models proves to be a key element of success," comments Oceanstyle's Managing Director Richard Lambert.
"There is good reason that production builders will weather the storm of market swings," states Cromwell Littlejohn of Merle Wood & Associates. "Buyers often gravitate to the quicker delivery times offered by quality production builders."

My severely dry and cold hands are thankful that I picked up Decelor's Nourishing & Soothing Hand Cream recently. I had been on a look out for a new hand cream to test and this one gets top billing. It's moisturizing and even though it contains shea butter and vitamin E isn't greasy. I like it so much that I may have to stock when I'm in France in May. But, if all goes well I will be back in Paris in October with some friends. At this time of year those lightweight hand creams have to wait until Spring and the heavy creams have to come into my makeup case.
Have a great weekend ~ Bisous mon amies.

Religious leaders in Kansas, spanning the denominational gamut, are asking state legislators to provide legal protection for believers who refuse goods and services for same-sex marriages because of their religious convictions.
A federal judge recently ruled Kansas must recognize gay marriages from other states, raising concern about the future of religious freedom in their state.
Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist, and Mormon leaders, among others, said their denominations do not condone unjust treatment of anybody.
State senators held hearings on the matter this week, but the president of the Senate said continuing the debate will have to wait till next year.

You have to experiment and see what works for you. Typically though, starchy veggies should probably be avoided by anyone trying to lose some weight. But, I've read on here about people having immense success keeping said starches in their food plan and losing weight dramatically.
I personally feel you will lose weight no matter what once you cut out all grains. Just don't make squash and sweet potatoes the only veggies you eat Your body needs variety too!

One of the nation's top uncommitted football prospects announced a final-seven list last week, and Clemson made the list.
Defensive lineman Eddie Goldman of Washington, D.C., had been sitting on a list of 15, including Clemson and South Carolina. The reduced list consists of the Tigers, Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, California, Maryland and Miami. Of course, the situation at Miami puts the Hurricanes in a tenuous position. Goldman is now deciding on his five official visits. One of his early ones is expected to be Florida State next month for the Oklahoma game.
Another highly regarded defensive lineman, John Atkins of Thomson, Ga., plans to announce his decision on Sept. 2. He is down to Clemson, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Georgia Tech. He said he knows where he plans to commit.
In other recruiting news:
Defensive back Chaz Elder of College Park, Ga., will announce his decision Friday, with USC expected to get the nod over Georgia and Vanderbilt. He plans to post his decision on his Facebook and Twitter pages.
WR Chris Brown of Hanahan wants to play football and run track in college. And right now USC is where he's planning to apply his talents. "It's highly probable he will be going to USC but my mission is to show him other places before he signs," his father, Joe Brown, said. "Steve Spurrier Jr. has been communicating with him pretty hard. I got a feeling it's going to be around the end of the football season (before he commits)." Joe Brown said his son is going to visit Virginia Tech unofficially in a couple of weeks, and he is planning to take official visits to Cincinnati and LSU. He's also talking with Notre Dame about an official visit. The elder Brown said USC wants his son first as a wide receiver, though he could end up playing cornerback there. He's also a nationally ranked triple jumper.
ATH Marty Williams of Fox Creek now calls Florida his favorite. Williams, who had one time appeared set to commit to Clemson, said Florida, Clemson and Miami are his top three, in that order. He plans to take official visits to each. Williams wants to play quarterback in college and the Gators worked him at that position at their camp last month. Clemson has recruited him as a free safety.
LB T.J. Burrell of Goose Creek is committed to Clemson but is considering a visit to Georgia Tech. "As of now, I'm only going to visit Clemson for my official (visit), but I don't want to say I won't take any other visits," he said. "If I do, it would be to Georgia Tech." Burrell went on to say it is the only other school he would consider. But Burrell's mom added last week that her son is firm with Clemson and would be signing with the Tigers.
WR Mark Irick of Calhoun County committed to Virginia Tech in July and still feels good about the choice. "I can say I am really happy with them, but I don't want to say I wouldn't look at other chools," he said. Irick had offers from USC, Kentucky and Auburn before committing to the Hokies. Irick is considering taking in some games at Clemson and USC.
RB Todd Gurley of Tarboro, N.C., set his first official visit for Georgia on Sept. 10, when the Bulldogs host USC. Gurley has not set any other visits but is likely to visit Clemson. "They're in my top six," he said. "I think I'll take an official (visit) there but I don't know if they have space for another (running) back." The others in his top six are UNC, Georgia, Virginia Tech, N.C. State and Auburn. He recently visited Virginia Tech. UNC is also likely for an official visit.
LB Nick Dawson (6-3, 220) of Charlotte was planning to visit Clemson last week but never got it confirmed with the Tigers, so the visit didn't come off. He has had Clemson in his top five along with Louisville, Tennessee, UNC and Miami, but right now Dawson isn't sure he's a take for the Tigers. He recently visited Louisville, which is where his father lives, and is strong on the Cardinals but is not ready to name a favorite.
OL Patrick DeStefano and OL Javarius Leamon committed to Clemson this summer and remain solid with their decisions. "I've shut it down (the recruiting process)," DeStefano said. "I'm 100 percent a Tiger. I won't take any other visits." Leamon sounded a similar tone. "I still hear from other schools, but I'm not interested," Leamon said. "I'll go to some Clemson games and take my official visit there. I won't visit and other schools." DeStefano plans to graduate early and enroll at Clemson in January.
Basketball news
6-8 Brice Johnson of Edisto was scheduled to make unofficial visits to UNC and N.C. State over the weekend. Those are two of his final eight. The others are Clemson, USC, Florida, Connecticut, Baylor and Ohio State. He plans to decide soon on his official visits.
Baseball news
USC added a heavily recruited outfielder to the 2012 class last week with a commitment from Jamie Jarmon of Millsboro, N.J. TheBigSpur.com reported Jarmon chose USC over Clemson, East Carolina, Maryland, Virginia and others. He is a right-handed hitter with power who can play any outfield position. He's the only outfielder at this point in the commitment class for 2012.
The Gamecocks also gained a commitment for the 2014 class from middle infielder Seth Lancaster of Hanahan.
Clemson gained a commitment over the weekend from junior SS/RHP Cody Smith of Lexington DiamondProspects.com said.

We show that, consistent with economic incentives, analysts from sell-side firms generally recommend "glamour" (i.e., positive momentum, high growth, high volume, and relatively expensive) stocks. Naive adherence to these recommendations can be costly, because the level of the consensus recommendation adds value only among stocks with favorable quantitative characteristics (i.e., high value and positive momentum). Among stocks with unfavorable quantitative characteristics, higher consensus recommendations are associated with worse subsequent returns. In contrast, the quarterly change in the consensus recommendation is a robust return predictor that appears to contain information orthogonal to a large range of other predictive variables.
