Drupal Blog
Drupal 8.4.0-rc1 is available for testing now. Drupal 8.4 is expected to be released October 4.
8.4.x includes new stable modules for storing date and time ranges, displaying form errors inline and managing workflows. It also includes new stable API modules for discovering layout definitions as well as media management. The media API module is new in core, all other new stable modules were previously experimental. This release also includes several important fixes for content revision data integrity, orphan file management and configuration data ordering among other things.
We have done some initial testing, and have noticed some contributed modules don't play well yet with this release. We had problems with the Superfish module in particular; this module is used on some sites that have dropdown menus. There is an issue in the queue here.
Let's clear up some misconceptions about when to and when NOT to migrate to Drupal 8
I'm writing this post to clear up some misconceptions that we've noticed some website owners have.
We were recently approached by a customer who loved their new responsive Drupal 7 site, but the firm that built it was not being so responsive when it came to ongoing support. The client needed help figuring out everyday tasks like adding photos, video, etc. They also wanted to make some cosmetic improvements, and add a blog. They went shopping around for Drupal support firms, and called us.
During the call, the client let slip that some of the firms they talked to had informed them they would need to move to Drupal 8. I told this customer this is a load of nonsense and a few days later she called back, relieved they would not need to spend a heap of money on migrating to Drupal 8 any time soon. It was surprising and disheartening to hear such bad advice being given to customers.
Why migrating from Drupal 7 to 8 makes no sense in this case
If you only need some cosmetic changes and maybe a new content type or two, stick with Drupal 7. There's simply no need to switch to 8 for that. Drupal 7 is in LTS (long term support) and won't get new features, but will continue to get bug fixes security support. Drupal 7 will get bug fixes and security support until Drupal 8 becomes the Long Term Support version, and that won't happen until Drupal 9 is in Long Term Support, which won't happen until 2019 or 2020 at the earliest. I would be pretty surprised if it happens as soon as 2019, though.
When would migrating from Drupal 7 to 8 make sense, then?
- When your site needs major new functionality and not just cosmetic changes.
- If Drupal 9 LTS is around the corner (2019 or later).
- If you want to take advantage of Drupal 8's superior offering of functionality, e.g. web services, "features" (a.k.a. Configuration Synchronization), accessibility improvements, improved performance, and more.
- If you're ready for a major site overhaul.
Long story short, moving from Drupal 7 to 8 is not a small task, and should only really be considered with sufficient justification. Of course, it would be a good idea to move to Drupal 8 before you become forced to do so due to an impending Drupal 9 release. The good news is that you have a few years to get ready for this, and there is no reason to hastily switch to 8 immediately if your current site is working well for you.
Lately, you may have noticed some sites getting labelled as "Not secure" in Google Chrome:
Or in Firefox:
As of January 2017, Chrome and Mozilla (the makers of Firefox) have implemented this policy to inform people that they should be careful when filling in forms containing sensitive data such as passwords or credit card details.
In the coming years, the Chrome Security team plans on marking all HTTP (non-SSL) pages (not just login pages or credit card forms) with a red icon indicating the connection is not secure.
You should strongly consider adding SSL to your entire site, and enforcing it site-wide so that any HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS URLs.
Since 2014 Google has been giving a rankings boost to sites with SSL.
This means that aside from the obvious benefits of increasing security on your site, you can also improve your ranking in the SERPs (search engine results pages) on Google. Other key factors for ranking are mobile-friendliness and speed. Beyond that "content is king" - meaning your site should be an authority on its subject, be updated regularly, and ideally have some other sites with decent PageRank linking to it. You don't need a zillion inbound links, especially if they're low-quality / low PageRank. Focus on quality content, speed, security, and mobile-friendliness / responsiveness.
What it takes to add SSL on your site:
1. An SSL Certificate
You will need an SSL certificate. You can buy one from any number of vendors. We like RapidSSL but you can buy these from loads of vendors. Our favorite option, letsencrypt.org, is entirely free, but does require setting up a cron job. That can prove difficult in some hosting environments (e.g. shared hosting). You can buy single, multi-domain, or wildcard certificates. A single certificate will generally work for both yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com, but not any other subdomains (such as xyz.yourdomain.com). This option is the most common, and the cheapest.
2. Use 2048-bit key certificates
This refers to the RSA key pair using 2048-bit encryption. A typical SSL certificate would be 2048-bit with 256-bit encryption. Double-check Google recommendation before purchasing a certificate, since these parameters change over time and get continuously more secure.
3. Use TLS 1.2+
Older SSL protocols are considered insecure and will trigger browser security warnings.
4. Use relative URLs for resources that reside on the same secure domain
For example, if you have an image, you'd want to use a path of "/images/some-image.jpg" and not "http://www.mysite.com/images/some-image.jpg". This way you can change to https:// without having to change all those absolute paths to https://. If you're using a CMS such as Drupal, this will often be root-relative already by default, or it can be configured to be that way.
4. Use https:// URLs for all other domains
Before switching to SSL, check your site for any embedded JavaScript files, iframes, or other external resources that use http. Change those to https. You could also just use protocol-relative URLs (e.g. "//google.com" rather than "http://google.com"), but then you'd better double-check that the domain being referenced actually has SSL in place. Some third party script providers don't have SSL, and it pays to make sure before switching to SSL.
5. Check out Google's advice on moving your site, since switching from HTTP to HTTPS will be considered a site move by Google.
If you don't use Google Search Console, check it out. With Search Console you can get a sense of how Google sees your site. Google expects you to set up separate properties for each domain/protocol variation, even though it does consider them to be the same site. For example if your domain is "mysite.com" and you initially built it without SSL, you'd have two properties: mysite.com and www.mysite.com. If you then add SSL, you will need to also add properties for https://www.mysite.com and https://mysite.com. There are options you can set to instruct Google to prefer www over non-www URLs. Google will automatically prefer https, if it finds https.
6. Make sure your SSL site's robots.txt does not block search engine crawlers
This advice only applies to sites that have different docroots (file paths) for HTTP vs HTTPS versions of the site. For example, you might have the HTTP site at /var/www/html, but the SSL/HTTPS version at /var/www/html_secure. In that case, you will need to check that /var/www/html_secure/robots.txt does not include "Disallow: /" or similar lines.
If you just have a single site (e.g. at /var/www/html), then you should already have a properly formatted robots.txt file in place which does not block search engine crawlers. It should not contain "Disallow: /" or similar lines.
7. Avoid the noindex robots meta tag, and allow indexing of your pages by search engines whenever possible
You can put noindex rules in robots.txt, which is preferable, but not always feasible.
8. Redirect any HTTP requests to HTTPS
You can and should enforce SSL site-wide so that any HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS URLs. This can be done using rules in your Apache or Nginx virtual host, or (if using Apache) with .htaccess.
One of the things that makes Drupal a great CMS is the quality and robustness of its modules. Today I wanted to shine a spotlight on the Pathauto module. From Pathauto's project page;
"The Pathauto module automatically generates URL/path aliases for various kinds of content (nodes, taxonomy terms, users) without requiring the user to manually specify the path alias. This allows you to have URL aliases like /category/my-node-title instead of /node/123. The aliases are based upon a "pattern" system that uses tokens which the administrator can change."
Tokens require the Token module, which you'll likely need anyway, because it's required by many modules. You also should really install Redirect, so that whenever an item's URL alias is changed, the system will automatically created a redirect (so you don't start racking up 404 errors). After installing Drupal core, we ALWAYS install Pathauto, Token, and Redirect at a minimum; they are that essential.
Now let's stop and think for a moment why we might want to be able to set URL patterns. Imagine you have a blog and you want to control the URL pattern.
Custom URL patterns in WordPress and Joomla
In WordPress you can adjust the Permalinks, and it does offer an option called Custom Structure with token-like placeholders. This is rather limited though in terms of the available placeholders. You can of course change the slug (a.k.a. alias) for each individidual post/page/category manually, but that's silly to even contemplate on large sites. Long story short, there's no WordPress equivalent for defining across-the-board URL patterns with ease the way that you can with Drupal's Pathauto module.
We have had to deal with URL patterns in Joomla before as well. That can be a frustrating experience on larger sites, because Joomla relies so heavily on its menu system, meaning a page must be in a menu for its URL alias to be set to what you want. You can set up categories and subcategories, which Joomla will use for the generated URLs. There have been attempts at making Joomla's URL structure more customizable (sh404sef comes to mind here), but these are complex and they take over some core functionality, making it incredibly difficult to uninstall should you decide to uninstall it later on. And they never quite offer the same level of control and ease of use that Pathauto does.
Pathauto Example
Let's start with the Pathauto admin screen:
The above screenshot is from Drupal 8, but it's pretty much the same in Drupal 7. It shows a few URL patterns tied to specific content types, followed by a default of [node:title]. This means that if I add a node such as News that has no pattern defined, it will still get an SEO-friendly URL based on its title, so if its title is "My Great News Item", its URL would be "/my-great-news-item". But if it's a picture with title of "Our New Gallery", it would be "/pictures/our-new-gallery".
Pathauto is really great in combination with Views, specifically Views page displays. In the screenshot above you see we have a content type called Person, with a URL pattern of "bios/[node:title]". We also have a view page display with URL of "/bios". So visitors go to "/bios" and then they click on a bio, and that bio will follow the above URL pattern. Using Pathauto and Views together in this manner we can enforce consistent URL patterns across the site, without forcing editors to think about URLs as they're editing. It just works.
If you want to show 'breadcrumbs' e.g. "Home > Bios > Some Person", the Pathauto/Views combination is particularly useful when combined with Easy Breadcrumb. It relies on your URL patterns for generating its breadcrumbs.
While we use Pathauto primarily for nodes (content / pages), it can also be used for users, taxonomy, and other Drupal entities. I highly recommend it and consider it essential to any Drupal site.
Developing any kind of enterprise site typically involves multiple environments, for example Development, Staging, and Production. A very common scenario developers run into is that a site is developed locally (on the developer's own machine) and then the code changes get pushed to a repository (version control using Git, Subversion, Mercurial, etc). But what about database changes? Those aren't code ... but they can be.
What is considered configuration?
Module configuration (set via Drupal's UI), content types, fields, Site Information settings, basically any kind of settings that you can control from Drupal's UI. Content (nodes, terms, users or any sort of entities) is not part of this and does not get exported.
How to copy configuration from one site to another:
Keep in mind this will only work for the same site, existing in two different environments. The typical way this would go is you create a site in one place (some cloud server e.g. Amazon Ec2, RackSpace CloudServer, Linode, Acquia Cloud, Pantheon, etc), do some initial commits after getting Drupal set up there, and then clone that locally in your computer. There you can go to town and add all the modules and code you want, configure everything, then export it and import it back into the remote dev site.
Before attempting to export your configuration, make sure to commit all your code changes, push them to the repo, and make sure the remote dev environment has pulled those changes. You don't want to try and change settings for modules that don't yet exist in code - that can lead to all kinds of nasty things!
In Drupal 7 this was accomplished using the Features module, which is a pretty complex beast to work with, but very powerful too. The Features module has been made part of Drupal 8 core and is now known as Configuration Synchronization. This can be accessed from the Configuration > Development > Configuration Synchronization menu (/admin/config/development/configuration):
(Drupal core's admin menu does not have dropdowns by default. Install the Admin Toolbar module for that awesomeness.)
Next, click Export (/admin/config/development/configuration/full/export) you can export:
This gathers up all your settings and downloads a gzipped tarball for you. Now go to your remote dev environment, log into Drupal, and go to Import (/admin/config/development/configuration/full/import):
As you can see, it provides you an overview of the new/changed items it will import. In this case I had added a single text field called "Sample text field" to the Basic Page content type. Click "Import all":
This does not always complete without error. Sometimes it will fail with obscure-looking fatal errors (500 - Internal Server Error), but so far I've found if you re-run the import it will usually complete without further issue. Such errors can be useful for ironing out configuration issues though, so pay attention and see if you can fix whatever is triggering those.
And that's it! My field was created. Here's a screenshot of the Basic Page content type's fields on the remote dev site:
Multiple the above by a zillion for the number of other settings a complex Drupal site can have, and you can see how incredibly useful the Configuration Synchronization in Drupal 8 is. It has made great strides in becoming easy to use. The UI is admittedly very simple, and for a full-site export that's a good thing. If you want more fine-grained control in order to export only certain things, this too is possible. Have a look at /admin/config/development/configuration/single/export:
This allows you to export specific settings, for example for a content type, a field, text format, menu, etc. This does not yet allow you to select multiple such settings and export them together, so you have to either export EVERYTHING or export just one thing at a time. When you do export one item, you'll need to copy the resulting code, then go to the destination site and import a single item... there you can paste this. Make sure you select the same "Configuration type" option from the pulldown menu as when you exported it:
This aspect of Drupal 8 is a real time-saver, and takes a lot of human error out of the equation. We're excited to take advantage of this in our current and upcoming work!
We had added a new term reference field to one of our content types, but it already had an term reference field in place, and had data in it. We needed to populate the new term reference field with the data from the old field, so that we could then delete the old field.
Had this been a text field, it would have been easy to achieve this using Views, Admin Views (optional), Views Bulk Operations, and Token. Using VBO with "Modify Entity Values" you could then paste a token in the desired text field, and run this on whichever nodes you want - in bulk. Admin Views is a handy way of improving the /admin/content overview, enhancing it with content type and keyword filters with Ajaxy goodness.
Term reference fields don't accept text or tokens that way. In that case we can use VBO's "Execute Arbitrary PHP Script" option, using the following code.
[This is for Drupal 7]
$node = node_load($entity->nid); foreach($node->taxonomy_vocabulary_7[LANGUAGE_NONE] as $tid){ $node->field_campus[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['tid'] = $tid; } node_save($node);
Since VBO runs this on one node at a time, in bulk, node_load is still decently performant. If you were to do something like this in custom code - without VBO - it would be better to use entity_load() along with entity_save() for some performance gains. Using the above code I was able to get the new field populated with VBO in a matter of minutes, as opposed to manually editing 150 nodes, or doing this some other way (custom SQL query, custom module, etc).
Engaged learning microsite selected among nearly 13,000 entries
A Rider University microsite has been selected as an Official Honoree for the 20th Annual Webby Awards. The distinction puts Rider in the top 20 percent of nearly 13,000 entries from 66 countries around the world.
The microsite focuses on engaged learning at Rider, showcasing the multiple ways in which the University creates opportunities for profound learning experiences. The site highlights the opportunities and results of students participating in internships, study abroad, service learning, student/faculty collaboration, the arts and leadership development.
"The engaged learning microsite takes users through a series of high-impact visuals, which include video and interactive storytelling, that portray how our students take part in a vibrant learning community and cultivate the foundation needed for future career and personal success," says Rider's director of enrollment digital strategy, Tara Laposa, who oversees every aspect of the website, including design, strategic planning and execution.
Plethora built this microsite from the ground up and designed its UI with jQuery, CSS, and a responsive layout.
That's right, Drupal 6 is at 'end of life' (EOL).
Drupal 8 and 7 have both had security patches. Drupal 6 got a final security patch as well.
If your Drupal installation has not been updated in a while, make sure to get it taken care of soon, or drop us a line.

Drupal just celebrated a major milestone - its fifteenth birthday!
The Drupal project has grown tremendously over the years and with Drupal 8 it is now 'off the island'. Since its early days, Drupal has held on to its own internal ways of coding and using PHP, but with Drupal 8 this change changed dramatically. Now Drupal uses Composer, OOP, Twig, YAML, and Services to name a few. This new policy of openness will help Drupal grow and improve. It will allow themers to do their thing and coders to do theirs - better than before.

I've been visiting this site for a long time. I went to make my first post but I can't post pics yet apparently.
Scrapping stuff and going to the dump are both "fun" to me. I also love to know the value of everything. The value to myself, the value to others, the value someone will pay.
Anyway, I have a property with several houses and outbuildings, everything is likely to be demolished and removed. It has some unique features that can't be rebuilt like a boat house and bulk head. I'm trying to be smart about it. #1 I don't want to tear down anything that can't be rebuilt (due to code changes over the years). #2 I want to sell anything with value #3 I don't want to pay to take stuff to the dump if someone would take it for free. Along the same lines I don't want to pay a dump fee on material that can easily be recycled.
I just don't have the experience with demolition. Since it's my first time I want to do it right.
Welcome! If you've been a lurking presence, then you know there's lots of information out in the many threads. If not answered, post some questions and I'm sure you'll get some replies. I think you need 10 posts to be able to do pictures. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
It's the type thing I could really get into. Not sure how worthwhile it is but could be addicting.

Berlin is enjoying its biggest property boom since the Wall came down 18 years ago, but the rush to embrace capitalism hasn't killed off the city's taste for Ostalgie, nostalgia for life in the former East Germany.
The latest manifestation of the hankering is the Ostel, a new guesthouse in a concrete block in the trendy Berlin Mitte district, decked out in communist kitsch - original GDR furniture, lurid 70s wallpaper, plastic flowers and chunky transistor radios.
It also includes a city tour in a famous Trabant.
Prices are old school, too, with "pioneer camp" dorm beds from €9; pre-fabricated apartments from €38 and the top-of-the-range Stasi suite, kitted out in former GDR officials' furniture for €51pp.
Thankfully, though, the mattresses, bed linen and plumbing are all refreshingly post-cold war and, being a few minutes from the centre of town and Berlin's restaurants, clubs and shops, staying here should be far more fun than it ever was under Erich Honecker.

Exercise normally impacts the menstrual cycle and results in irregularity. You should be consistent in not just exercise but recovery also. Exercising is an excellent approach to truly feel alive and healthy. Strenuous exercises are the ones which involve heavy cardiovascular exercises together with aerobic exercises. Thus, you must be quite careful whilst doing any back exercises. You're going to be lifted emotionally as regular exercise contributes to a higher release of endorphins within the body. Regular exercises to enhance leg circulation will allow you to treat this condition effectively.
You're able to carry some healthier snacks with you all of the moment, to be able to attain this endeavor. Frequent yet smaller meals through the day, play a significant role in keeping up the normal blood glucose levels of an individual. Keeping up a healthy diet is a vital portion of the day-to-day routine of the patients. Together with light exercise, one needs to follow nutritious diet comprising plenty of vegetables and fruits. Should you be attempting to obtain weight, then you have to consume more volume of calories than required. You're hardly affecting that fat in any respect.
When you begin exercising, the body generates a great deal of heat. The entire issue is that the body let's you know that you're asking for more than that which your body is able to actually give. It is very practical for people who find it challenging to move the body. You must overload the body with each workout.
Light Exercise Can Be Fun for Everyone
Don't hesitate to consult a fitness expert, as it can be challenging to spot what you're doing wrong all on your own. It is possible to secure a great elliptical trainer on Amazon for less than it's possible for you to ever imagine. To ascertain everyday calorie intake for women and men, you need to use an easy formula called which involves calculating the basal metabolic rate (BMR), which then may be used to find out the quantity of energy needed by the body for the everyday functions.
To prevent this, you've got to ascertain the nutritious pulse rate with which you are able to exercise without damaging the heart. Adding a small quantity of peppermint candy into the infant's water bottle is another means to relieve gas. Now you know the advantages of exercise, you can opt to exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes daily (without any exceptions). Actually, there are lots of advantages of regular exercises also. Keeping up a healthful and standard HR is most important for attaining and keeping optimal wellness. So it's always much better to talk with your physician regarding safe heart rate during exercise, before choosing a workout program.
The capacity of the heart must be considered. Thus, the body mechanism has to make certain that the body doesn't overheat. It may be a symptom of a heart disease which requires immediate therapy. You should raise the intensity of the exercise gradually over months. You've got to work with certain intensity. In the majority of the instances, lessening your intensity of workout is the way to solve the problem. At times, the light spotting might look like it happened due to work out, but the true cause could differ.
If a specific muscle collection is weak, for instance, back muscles, then if possible, do not overdo that muscle collection. A correct hypoglycemic diet program is essential for the afflicted individuals. A weekly off is a necessity in any exercise program. Thus, an individual gets calmer and the damaging toxins are gotten rid of. For that reason, it cannot be explained why someone might feel extremely fatigued as a result of this syndrome.
In the modern competitive world, individuals are not able to devote sufficient time for exercise. It isn't constant during the day. It's time to relax or ease up your workouts a bit, in order for your body is able to sustain the quantity of strain you're putting it through. The faster it's ready to do that, the quicker you'll feel a lot better. Obviously, the exact same is also true if you're injured. It beats slowly when you're at rest. The remainder of the heat stays in the body.
The most suitable equipment may create a major difference in regards to the danger of injury. It is clear that protective equipment is vital in contact sports. It raises the caliber of your sleep, and is among the many excellent consequences on body temperature. One should obtain licensed medical products like Proactol, which are clinically proven and tested to cause weight reduction. It has proven weight reduction ingredients. There are pills made specifically for women so as to prevent food addiction. It gives a natural way to lessen appetite.

Population: 485 is a pleasant respite from our fast-paced lives where emails come flying in every few minutes, friends you don't remember you had fill your computer with silly updates, and kids can manipulate a computer program but can't start a conversation. Michael Perry's collection of essays, performed here pleasantly by the author himself, is a considerate look at some of the stories we let go unnoticed all around us. With his witty and empathetic styling, Perry brings listeners back to a time of small towns and tall tales, when the most dangerous vigilante was an old lady with a pistol and a Bible.
This audio also includes eight wise and witty essays selected from Perry's new book, Off Main Street. Whether fighting fires, playing nurse to a murderer, hitting the road with a truck driver, or meditating on Elvis and osmosis, Perry shows us that his small-town roots have not limited his worldview; in fact, they've enlarged it in some of the subtlest, most observant, and memorable ways possible. This collection is a diverse and generous survey of the author's talents as a journalist, penetrating observer, and rural-bred storyteller of Wisconsin.
©2002, 2005 Michael Perry; (P)2005 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.
"This is a quietly devastating book; intimate and disarming and lovely." (Esquire)
"Tragic at times, funny at others, Perry's memoir will appeal to anyone curious about small-town life." (Booklist)
"A little slow, but it is a small town world...."
This one takes patience to appreciate. I grew up in small town Iowa so I can appreciate the slow pace of the narratives and the verbose delivery of the author/narrator. This is a book of essays on the author's life and experiences living in a small town. Most of them are long roads to not too much but that's the midwest. There are lots of long roads there that don't go anywhere so it's up to you to appreciate riding the road you're on. If you can approach this book that way then you'll enjoy the ride.
You may want to keep a dictionary close. The author likes to use 50 cent words to describe 25 cent stories.
"Wanted to read for years - disappointing"
I thought this was going to be all about small town life, but Perry starts with some stories that don't connect - I was really disappointed. I have no idea when he started with the actual book because I quit reading it as it didn't make sense. I got the other books and hope they live up to their descriptions.
"A lovely little book"
I see this as a sweet valentine to my home state of Wisconsin, but you don't have to hail from the Dairyland to appreciate the tender insights in this book. Loved it.
"Read the book at the same time."
This was a horrible redintion of the book. I tried this service out and decided to read the book along with listening to the audio only to find they skipped so many major parts that it didnt make it worth it.
Do not get this book from here. Not sure if its the same audio file on other sites but Im requesting a refund.
First book read by this author, turns out it was from the area where I grew up so I can attest to the truth of some of the stories. Even had relatives named in it though the actual names were not used. The corner in the second chapter is where my aunt lived. Great humor interjected into a serious story, well done although some might not get the humor in the reality of the story
"Vivid, Amusing and Touching"
Excellent book. The vignettes of the people and place are so vivid, amusing and touching. Can't wait for Truck.

After being in this game for 10.5 almost 11 years, I've given up on the whole idea of having a nice relationship with BM. No matter where she is in her life she is always hateful deep down inside. It's just part of who she is and her disdain for DH. It bothered her that he moved on, even though she left him. She knew he's a good man and that they're aren't many guys out there like him. She thought the grass was greener when it hasn't been. It took her half the time that we've been together, if not longer, to find her now husband. And she' still not fully happy according to dsd. BM married for money, we all know money doesn't buy happiness. It bothers her that DH has gone onward and upward since they've parted ways. She probably never expected us to last, have more children and get married. When she sees us as a family unit, we're always laughing and smiling. She knows that we have what she's always wanted and that makes her bitter. Now, don't get me wrong, we can fake it like you wouldn't believe. But we both can't stand the other. We fake it for the sake of dsd. I know that's why I fake it, who knows her reason. Maybe she feels that if she doesn't play along then her true colors will show and she does her best to hide those colors from the world.

Another Dark Knight Poster Plus Final Viral Marketing Update
by Alex Billington
July 1, 2008
Source: WhySoSerious.com
We're trying to not get too hyped up for The Dark Knight, but really, we can't help it when there's an overflow of news and everyone wants to get hyped anyway. As everyone knows, we've been following the viral marketing campaign very closely, eventually calling it one of the brilliant aspects that makes the movie revolutionary. It's now July and there are just a few weeks left, so to put a closure on the viral marketing that began over a year ago, Warner Brothers and 42 Entertainment have update WhySoSerious.com with a retrospective on all of the 11 games so far, a listing of all of the websites involved in the viral marketing campaign, and much more. And as another treat for fans, a slick new poster has been revealed. It's pretty frickin' awesome and I know you want to take a look!
The poster below was discovered in yet another part of the viral campaign earlier today. I suggest everyone go check out WhySoSerious.com, where you'll see the main page has been updated with details on all of the various games that started back on May 18th last year with the reveal of the first photo of the Joker. For those who didn't get involved until recently, this is an incredible recap of all the great viral games that have since finished up. You can click each one on the list and be taken to a page with details. Additional, the phone book page to the left has links to every last website involved in this alternate reality game.
This poster below is probably the last poster we'll get for the film. It compliments numerous other posters, including this awesome one from March. Not only has the viral marketing for The Dark Knight been incredible, but the marketing in general has been top notch. These are easily some of my favorite posters all year long and they'll only become more poignant once people start to see how amazing the film actually is. Feast your eyes on this last great poster and let us know what you think!
The Dark Knight is directed by phenomenal filmmaker Christopher Nolan (Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige) and co-written by Nolan, his brother Jonathan Nolan (The Prestige), and David S. Goyer (Blade, Batman Begins). Batman is part of the DC Comics universe of legendary characters. The Dark Knight will hit theaters worldwide on July 18th this summer.

. Red Rock is a lovely quiet village in a very picturesque setting. There are two beaches, the 'Big Beach' with a bit of a surf for the more adventurous or the'Little Beach' with a pool at low tide for the little ones and lovely shaded spots protected from southerlies to enjoy and relax. The beaches are patrolled at weekends and in school holidays observe signs at beach
The estuary is great for kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, swimming.....
If fishing is your passion you can choose from fishing off the rocks at the headland, fishing on the beach, along the broad walk in the river or from a boat in the estuary or the ocean.
Along the river is a park with a children's playground, electric BBQs and tables and a great local store for essentials and great take-aways. Kayak hire etc. is also available from the shop.
Red Rock is a bird watcher's dream with a lot of rare birds to be spotted along the river or in the heath. In spring the flowers in the heath are worthwhile a visit.
From July to November the headland is a great place for whale watching.
There is a bowling green and tennis courts. The bowling green has a bar and a chinese restaurant for those who want to eat out. A bit further away 6km's is the Amble Inn in Corindi. A pub with a great atmosphere and a very good restaurant. The Amble Inn has a courtesy bus that services Red Rock.
Surrounding area
To the north Red Rock adjoins Yuraygir National Park with beautiful pristine beaches and rock pools.
Red Rock is situated in the Solitary Island Marine Park, there are very good dive sites at the nearby islands where divers can enjoy encounters with mantas, eagle rays, grey nurse sharks etc. and a multitude of fish.
The closest dive operators are situated in Mullaway 10 min. drive and Coffs Harbour 30 min drive.
Woolgoolga 15 min drive is the closest town. It has a large Sikh Punjabi community and the pure white Guru Nanak Sikh Temple is an outstanding feature of the town. There are supermarkets, lovely coffee shops, vegetable and spice shops, curry restaurants, a lively pub and markets near the beach once a month and several festivals throughout the year.
Another 15 min down the road you get to Coffs Harbour, a large town with shopping centres, cinemas, a theatre, lots of pubs, hotels, tourist attractions etc.
Further afield along the waterfall Way are Bellingen, a trendy and touristy town with lots of music events, coffee shops etc. and Dorrigo with a 'skywalk' in the National Park, waterfalls, etc.

I'm posting on your blog in response to...Hello. I'm posting on your blog in response to your musings on where to start with Jack Benny's career. From his movie career, I'd recommend George Washington Slept Here and To Be or Not to Be. The 1942 version. If it's in color, your watching the wrong film. I like it, but the original is better. Benny had a decent movie career, but many of his movies either/or weren't very good or didn't have great box office. It became a running joke on his radio show. The Horn Blows at Midnight also has it's fans, but somehow I've never managed to see it. The TV show is very hit or miss, with a variable format. Some weeks it was a sitcom, some weeks a half hour variety show, sometimes both. I would recommend seeking out surviving episodes of his radio program. It usually had all of the strengths of the later TV show, with few of the weaknesses. If you watch my recommended movies and want a "might have been", watch The Sunshine Boys; the movie that revived George Burns' career and earned him an Oscar. The studio didn't want Burns. His career had died off after his wife/comedy partner Gracie Allen retired then passed away. Benny had retained his star power and was the studio's first choice. He refused to do it with out Burns. Benny then died just before production. It was decided that it was too late to scrap the project, so Walter Matthau was quickly hired to play Benny's part in old age makeup.

Kabul, May 22 (ANI): Afghan Police on Saturday discovered a huge cache of rockets on the outskirts of Kabul, which they said were to be used to disturb a jirga next week.
The Dawn quoted Kabul Police chief Abdul Rahman Rahman as saying that elements were paid to relocate these rockets.
He said that the intelligence gathered so far had revealed that around 20 million Pakistan rupees was promised to those who undertook the launching.
Insurgents are known to favour using rockets because they can be fired from distances of up to 20 kms (12 miles) from their target.
Afghanistan is holding a jirga on May 29, where thousands of community elders and Afghan officials will try to find ways to convince Taliban insurgents to enter into peace talks. (ANI)

Ryan L's Thoughts
But that's not going to happen because this is going to be awesome.
Wolverine: Debt Of Death #1
Another lame Wolverine title makes the cut, how could that be? Check the fine print, kiddies, this one is David Aja on cover and interiors. I wait far too long between hits of Aja art. Why he's been placed on a random Wolverine one-shot. Oh, maybe because it's written by David Lapham and it deals with flying battlerobo suits in Japan. I am so sold on this thing, and you should be, too.
The Worst Things In September
Daredevil Joins New Avengers
I've never wanted Daredevil on the Avengers and I still don't. I don't think it's the right choice for the character and as much as I love Bendis and Maleev's run on Daredevil I don't want to see Bendis now address Mat Murdock in the background. I also don't want to pick up this $3.99 title just to find my favourite character poorly used. He did it to me with Iron Fist for an arc and I want to say 'never again.' Here's hoping I can be that strong.
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1
It's another relaunch for this title in like 18 months, or so. And the last relaunch went back to the original numbering pretty quickly. I know the number on the book doesn't really matter but this still strikes me as lame. Not to mention it's polybagged. 'Nuff said, right?
The Coolest Things In September
Casanova: Avaritia #1
It's Casanova, c'mon, why do I even need to say any more? Have a look at this cover. It's gorgeous. You know if nothing else, the art will be spectacular. But I have a feeling Matt Fraction will also bring back his A game on this one, he's certainly lost it on all his Marvel books. He started strong using the Punisher and Iron Fist, even the Order was cool, but Iron Man and Thor and Fear Itself have not been great. It's time for Casanova to right some wrongs. It's time for the smart and stellar writer to return, and it's time for more Cass after years away from the shelves.
There's a lot of pressure on this book, can it deliver. Only one way to find out, pony up the cash and get the first issue.
Grifter #1
If Grifter alone wasn't cool enough, we also have him written by Nathan Edmondson. For those who haven't been keeping up, Edmondson is the writer on the fantastic spy action comic Who Is Jake Ellis? if he can bring the same level of story and kinetic awesome to Grifter then this title is going to be good. I'm certainly buying in on the ground floor and I'm super keen to see what I'll get for my efforts.
Green Wake Vol 1 TPB
My favourite comic of the year will be collected in trade in September. If you haven't believed me when I spoke of its glory in single issues then hopefully you'll at least drop some cash on the trade. This book is such perfect horror noir and it's going to look amazing collected all together. Just look at the cover if you aren't sure.
I am still surprised at how much quality Image is pumping out this year. They might, maybe, just be the best publisher for 2011. So many good new series, so many good continuations of old titles. They're shaking things up and giving the comic fans what they say they always want. Now fans just need to go grab it, it's all available. I love that the titles from Image aren't all in a similar genre, you can go creepy and disturbing like Green Wake or you can get comics for kids, or pulpy adventures, or zombies - anything goes. I'm just a fan of good comics, no matter the genre, and Image make good comics.
And Green Wake is the best of the bunch right now.
YOUR EYES DO NOT DECEIVE YOU! The Thunderbolts have pulled off THE GREATEST ESCAPE IN HISTORY – and joining the powerful ex-cons are CAPTAIN AMERICA and NAMOR the SUB-MARINER! This new era takes the kings of supercrime to a whole new level- at light speed!! By Jeff Parker (INCREDIBLE HULKS) and Kev Walker (SECRET AVENGERS)
The best thing isn't the solicit, but the cover showcasing what looks like a promotion for some of the Underbolt members. So about 15 issues after the Heroic Age, we get about a 50% turnover in members, that's a pretty fair amount of time for the program to change out the cast.
Annihilators: Earthfall #1
The team behind the excellent Annihilators mini return in September to bring the pain to the Avengers. And anything other than plot armor should make for a very interesting Avengers butt kicking. I mean, who does Wolverine think he can really beat up on the team? Cosmo alone can take on every Avenger except for Thor, maybe.
I guess when Marvel started Spider-Island, the original intent was to make a tie-in issue for every person in Manhattan? That's what it seems like with new one-shots and mini series popping up every month. There is no need for an Avengers tie-in on top of a random anthology book like I Love New York City.
Half of the DC Relaunch/Reboot
Some of the titles are genuinely interesting, but as mentioned in our DC roundtable discussion, it feels like half the books are being sent out to die a meaningless death. Tony Daniel writing another book? I, Vampire getting on the Twilight bandwagon 6 months too late? Paul Cornell goes from Action Comics to Demon Knights, a book with no major star AND set in the middle ages? I would really like to see the dartboard DC made when throwing out the 52 darts to see where they stuck.
story JAY FAERBER
art SIMONE GUGLIELMINI
cover TOMM COKER
Markham is a professional killer who has a near death experience during a botched mission. Determined to avoid ever returning to the Hell he glimpsed, Markham dedicates himself to balancing the scales. He's going to save a life for every life he's taken. And he's taken a lot of lives...
A new ongoing crime series for fans of Criminal and the novels of Lee Child and Robert Crais.
This sounds like a premise worth reading about, a little bit of My Name Is Earl mixed in with Hitman and Criminal.
Batman #1
Scott Snyder gets to relaunch the flagship bat-book, and brings Greg Capullo along with him. Now that he's at DC, I wonder if Capullo will change his style compared to his Marvel and Image work. I can pretty much guarantee the book will be good without even reading it, that's how much faith I have in Snyder. I can only hope Snyder doesn't stretch himself too thin or pick one of his books to take priority over the others.
The Best Things in September
Annihilators: Earthfall
More Marvel cosmic. This time they put the beat down on Earth's heroes. If Marvel cosmic and the biggest guns in Marvel's stable beating up the Avengers doesn't sell you, I'm not sure what will.
DC, DC and more DC
While there are aspects of the revamp that are still vague, there's no doubt in my mind DC will be the best thing in September. Action Comics? More Green Lantern? Swamp Thing? Animal Man? These and so many more have me pumped to be a comic fan again. Should be a great month trying out all the new books.
The Worst Things in September
Is anyone interested in this 'event'? Anyone? The only thing good coming out of that is that Herc cover...
The Coolest Thing in September
Batman, Inc Deluxe HC Cover
want to buy that?
The Best Things in September
Cosmic vs. Earth
Aw yeah! This is easily one of the best news about September. If they want to continue the cosmic saga that DnA have been weaving as a series-of-miniseries, then I am all for it. The fact that the art team from the previous miniseries continues is just gravy on this awesome serving of comic goodness. I also find it really funny that this is easily the most exciting thing for Kirk, Ken and me coming from Marvel in September. Are we that easy to pander to? Yes, of course we are.
Everyone Gets Spider-Powers
I honestly don't mind the amount of tie-ins to Spider-Island, just because it has already provided plenty of great visuals for those covers. I mean, how can you not love those covers with Herc, Kingpin and freaking J. Jonah Jameson using Spider-powers?
The Worst Things in September
Holy Batman Titles, Batman!
We have already talked about it in depth before, but in all the excitement about the DC relaunch I haven't seen anyone mention the fact that there are going to be four Batman titles (five, once Batman, Inc. re-starts in 2012), all starring the same person under the cowl, Bruce Wayne. Part of the fun of the past years of multiple Batman titles was that all of them featured different dynamics. For example, Batman and Robin was about Dick and Damian, Batman, Inc. was about Bruce, Detective was Dick solo, and so on. Sure, Bruce Wayne is a deep character, with plenty of facets to him, but four titles for a single character seems like overkill to me (and that's without counting any appearances in other Bat-titles or Justice League). I mean, remember when it was Deadpool that had four different titles and everyone was crying bloody murder? Where are those people now?
The Coolest Things in September
Massive The Darkness Collection
I can't say I'm a fan of the series, as it never really interested me that much, but if you are looking for good value for your money, you really can't do better than The Darkness Compendium Vol. 2. Featuring a whooping 1240 pages of story, it only costs 60 bucks. That's close to fifty issues plus extra content, so it rounds up roughly above 1 dollar per issue. And this is before you factor in Amazon discounts and the like. Unless you travel back in time to 1980, you are not going to find cheap comics like this. The only thing I am not sure is the quality of the paper, or if the pages are in black and white.
Done to Death
Are you sick of Twilight and any other story that portrays vampires as romantic teenage heartthrobs? Apparently, so were Andrew Foley and Fiona Staples, who are releasing an OGN about an editor who is out to kill any writers who submit any Twilight-like material. This sounds like a very fun and tongue-in-cheek book and I am glad that IDW are publishing it. Not to mention, it has art by Fiona Staples, so at the very least you know this will look absolutely gorgeous.

Nov 28 -
-- Netherlands-based courier, express, and parcels company TNT Express N.V. and U.S.-based United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) announced that the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets has granted an exemption to extend UPS' offer period for the outstanding shares of TNT Express.
-- The offer period has been extended to allow for the appropriate clearances from the European Commission and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, but no later than Feb. 28, 2013.
-- We are keeping our 'BBB+/A-2' long- and short-term corporate credit ratings on TNT Express on CreditWatch positive.
-- The ongoing CreditWatch reflects the possibility of an upgrade if we believe that the merger enhances TNT Express' credit quality.
Rating Action
On Nov. 28, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services kept on CreditWatch with positive implications its 'BBB+/A-2' long- and short-term corporate credit ratings on Netherlands-based courier, express, and parcels company TNT Express N.V. We originally placed the ratings on CreditWatch on Feb. 24, 2012.
The ongoing CreditWatch placement follows the announcement, by TNT Express and U.S.-based package delivery company United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS; A+/Negative/A-1), that the Netherlands Authority for Financial Markets has granted an exemption for UPS to extend its offer period for the outstanding shares of TNT Express. We understand that the offer period ends one week after clearance from the European Commission and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has been received, but no later than Feb. 28, 2013. In addition, since our last update, TNT Express and UPS have received a statement of objections from the European Commission. We understand that the statement of objections is a normal step in the second phase of merger procedure.
In our view, TNT Express could benefit from ownership by UPS, which we would view as the stronger entity in the context of this acquisition. As per our criteria, a weaker entity owned by a stronger parent will usually--although not always--have a higher rating than it would on a stand-alone basis. (For further details, see "Corporate Criteria--Parent/Subsidiary Links; General Principles; Subsidiaries/Joint Ventures/Nonrecourse Projects; Finance Subsidiaries; Rating Link to Parent," published Oct. 28, 2004, on RatingsDirect on the Global Credit Portal.)
If UPS were to fully integrate TNT Express, we could equalize our ratings on TNT Express with our ratings on its parent company. If the integration was only partial, we would still upgrade TNT Express, with the scale of the upgrade depending on our view of UPS' willingness to provide financial support to TNT Express in the event of distress.
TNT Express offers domestic, regional, and intercontinental delivery services, mainly for business-to-business customers. Its service entails picking up, transporting, and delivering documents, parcels, and freight around the world. TNT Express was spun off from TNT N.V. (now PostNL N.V. ) in June 2011.
The ratings on TNT Express reflect our view of its "satisfactory" business risk profile, which is supported by TNT Express' position as a leading European and international courier, express, and parcels delivery services integrator. The ratings also reflect our assessment of TNT Express' "modest" financial risk profile.
In our view, these strengths are partially offset by TNT Express' participation in a market that is competitive (especially in Europe) and highly fragmented, its high level of operational leverage, and exposure to economic cyclicality.
On a stand-alone basis (excluding any implications of the UPS offer), we forecast that Standard & Poor's-adjusted debt will be about EUR1 billion at year-end 2012. We anticipate that this will contribute to an adjusted ratio of debt to EBITDA of about 2x at year-end 2012, which is the same as in 2011. Based on our forecast of adjusted funds from operations (FFO) of about EUR450 million-EUR485 million in 2012, we project that the ratio of adjusted FFO to debt will improve to 45% by the end of 2012, from 42% in 2011.
The short-term rating on TNT Express is 'A-2'. We view TNT Express' liquidity as "strong" under our criteria.
As of Sept. 30, 2012, we estimate the ratio of liquidity sources to uses to be about 3.5x-4.0x. Sources include our forecasts of:
-- Centralized cash and equivalents of about EUR250 million;
-- About EUR570 million available under a committed credit line that expires in March 2016; and
-- FFO of EUR350 million-EUR375 million (excluding adjustments).
We estimate TNT Express' liquidity needs over the 12 months as:
-- Short-term borrowings of EUR43 million;
-- Capital expenditure of about EUR220 million, or about 3% of estimated revenues; and
-- Our estimation of the cash element of the dividend for 2012 of about EUR25 million-EUR50 million, in line with TNT Express' stated dividend policy. The cash element has historically varied as the company offers dividends to be paid either in cash or shares.
There are no financial covenant triggers with liquidity implications in the documentation for the undrawn credit line. TNT Express has no debt maturities of more than EUR50 million per year until 2015.
We aim to resolve the CreditWatch placement after the completion of the acquisition. We will assess the effect of the acquisition on TNT Express' business and financial risk profiles. We could raise our ratings on TNT Express if we believe that the acquisition has enhanced its credit quality.
If UPS were to fully integrate TNT Express, we could equalize our ratings on TNT Express with our ratings on its parent company. If the integration was only partial, we would still upgrade TNT Express, with the scale of the upgrade depending on our view of UPS' willingness to provide financial support to TNT Express in the event of distress.
In the event that the acquisition does not conclude, we could affirm our ratings on TNT Express and assign a stable outlook if the company's credit standing remains in line with our forecasts. This would be consistent with the company maintaining its current financial policy, with adjusted FFO to debt of at least 45% and debt to EBITDA of no more than 2x on a sustainable basis.

DAILYKENN.com -- Fewer Americans are adopting foreign children.
Could that indicate that pathological altruism has run its course?
From usnews.com:
The number of foreign children adopted by U.S. parents dropped by 12 percent last year to the lowest level since 1981, according to new State Department figures.
The department's report for the 2015 fiscal year shows 5,648 adoptions from abroad, down from 6,438 in 2014 and about 75 percent below the high of 22,884 in 2004. The number has fallen every year since then, to the frustration of many adoption advocates in the U.S.
China, as is customary, accounted for the most children adopted in the U.S. Its total of 2,354 was up 15 percent from 2014, but far below the peak of 7,903 in 2005.

DySIS Medical Ltd (DySIS or the Company): NICE Publishes Positive Diagnostics Guidance on DySIS Cervical Cancer Screening Product
EDINBURGH, Scotland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 1, 2012--DySIS Medical Ltd, the medical devices company in female health, announces that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence ('NICE') has today published positive diagnostics guidance recommending its DySIS cervical cancer screening product to be considered in procurement plans.
DySIS colposcopy uses spectral imaging techniques during the course of a normal examination to highlight to clinicians any areas of concern by mapping the condition of a woman's cervix. The DySISmap uses a range of colours to indicate normal and abnormal cells, and the degree of abnormality present.
In clinical trials, DySIS has been shown to significantly boost sensitivity in detecting cervical cancer in its earliest stages. Armed with this additional information, clinicians are able to take immediate steps to treat patients and prevent disease progression. This in turn creates a substantial economic impact by reducing the volume of higher cost surgical interventions.
The NICE guidance states: "DySIS is a clinically and cost-effective option, compared with standard colposcopy, for examining the uterine cervix in women referred for colposcopy, and should be considered in procurement plans for colposcopy equipment." Every year in the UK, over 2,800 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer and over 900 women will die from the disease despite the fact that it is entirely treatable if diagnosed early enough.
Mr Charles Redman, consultant gynaecological oncologist at North Staffs Hospital and an early user of DySIS commented "DySIS is a very exciting technology that delivers an excellent solution in a critical area of women's health. We have made excellent progress in reducing the incidence of cervical cancer in the UK through a good screening programme, but detecting the disease early is still a significant challenge. Today we have to use visual assessment, a lot of judgement, combined with several recall visits for some patients, to try to catch the disease. The DySIS instrument uses hi-tech imaging and provides objective measurements that we can use to substantially improve our sensitivity to detecting the disease before it's too late." Extensive clinical trials on DySIS have been undertaken across Europe involving hospitals in the UK, Netherlands and Greece. The most recently published results showed that DySIS helped clinicians to identify pre-cancer conditions caused by the virus responsible for the vast majority of cervical cancers in 97% of all cases.
New users can be trained to interpret the DySISmap, in 2-4 hours. The aim of the technology, is to provide reassurance that the highest level of analysis has been undertaken and abnormal cells or potential cancers have not been missed. DySIS has a CE mark and has been cleared for use by the USA's Food and Drugs Administration. The company estimates that around 4,000 women to date have had a DySIS exam through the installed base of instruments across Europe.
Alastair Atkinson, CEO of DySIS Medical said: "Achieving NICE [approval] is a landmark event for our Company. This positive guidance recognizes the paradigm shift that DySIS can create – helping clinicians to deliver a higher standard of care at a lower overall cost." The document can be viewed in full at: http://guidance.nice.org.uk/DG4 -Ends- Notes to Editors DySIS Medical Ltd DySIS Medical Ltd has its global headquarters in Edinburgh. The company is committed to saving lives through the early detection and diagnosis of disease using biophotonic innovations. It aims to be the global leader in automated optical molecular imaging technologies for medical diagnostic and screening applications. For more information, please visit: www.dysismedical.com The DySIS cervical cancer screening product employs advanced photonics and computer assistance to quantify and map the aceto-whitening process – providing clinicians with reliable information to assist in the identification of pre-cancerous lesions. The product is sold in Europe and the US.
Cervical Cancer and Screening Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women and accounts for more than one in ten (9%) of diagnosed female cancers. The World Health Organization estimates that there are over 500,000 new cases each year resulting in 250,000 deaths. In the developed world, where screening programmes are used, some 30 million women will receive an abnormal smear test result and be called for a colposcopy examination. If caught and treated at an early stage, there is a high degree of treatment success.
The introduction of cervical cancer screening in women over 25 has helped to reduce the incidence of the disease - about 4.4 million women are screened in the UK each year - even so, approximately, 900 women in England a year die of the disease and the cost to the healthcare services, including the NHS runs into multimillions.CONTACT: DySIS Medical Ltd Alastair Atkinson, CEO Tel: +44 (0)1506 592159 or College Hill (PR for DySIS Medical) Melanie Toyne Sewell / Gemma Howe/ Jen Lewis Tel: +44 (0)20 7457 2020 Email:email@example.com KEYWORD: UNITED KINGDOM EUROPE INDUSTRY KEYWORD: WOMEN HEALTH MEDICAL DEVICES ONCOLOGY CONSUMER SOURCE: DySIS Medical Copyright Business Wire 2012 PUB: 08/01/2012 04:34 AM/DISC: 08/01/2012 04:34 AM http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20120801005549/

Slide Sizes
A specimen thickness of 30
microns is considered to be standard in the petrography field, and mineral
determination charts are calibrated for this thickness. However, some
specialized applications require specimens of greater or lesser thickness, and
PetroSlides is able to accommodate such requests.
In addition to rectangular
slides, we can produce circular thin sections of 1 inch diameter.
After grinding, we polish each
thin section using 6 micron diamond paste,
1 micron diamond paste,
and finally 0.25 silica colloidal suspension.
In contrast to many thin section
manufacturers, PetroSlides sells most
of our thin sections without
cover-slips. The advantages and
disadvantages of cover-slips are
summarized below.
Advantages: Thin sections with
cover-slips usually look nicer than uncovered sections when viewed through the
microscope. The cover-slip adhesive fills
microscopic holes within and between minerals,
resulting in a crisper image. Also, many
microscope objectives incorporate extra working
distance to accommodate the thickness of a
cover-slip; optical quality is optimized when a
cover-slip is used.
Finally, cover-slips protect the thin section
surface from oxidation and other forms of
There are many situations where a cover-slip is
intolerable. Thin sections with cover-slips
cannot be used for analytical studies
such as reflected-light optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy,
or electron probe microanalysis.
In view of the rarity of
meteorites, we prefer to market our
thin sections without cover-slips thereby maximizing their
research value.
Grading System
We sell only well-made thin sections that are permanently-mounted, uniform in thickness, and
appropriately polished. The overall
quality of a finished thin section depends on
two key factors: the
condition of the starting
material and the quality
of preparation. We use
an A-B-C grading system
to share our opinion about
a slide's overall quality:
Grade A: The
grade A thin section is
extremely well-made. The
slide is uniform in thickness
from edge to edge and is well-polished. Defects such as
bubbles, fractures, and
scratches are essentially absent.
Grade B: The
grade B thin section is the standard
thin section for research and collection. These slides are well-made, uniform in
thickness and well-polished. Defects such
as fractures and plucking, if present, do not
detract from the overall quality of the thin
Grade C: The
grade C thin section is uniform
in thickness throughout most of
the specimen, with the
possibility of minor thinning at
the specimen edges. Minor defects
such as weathering fractures,
limited plucking, or small
scratches may be present.

3 partitions, one laptop and a hard place. Sort of URGENT
Okay so I am doing work on this guys computer. He had windows vista. I put windows 7 on another partition. That one wouldn't work with one program so I put another windows 7 on a third partition. This is over the course of a couple months ending in a few days ago. Recently he has put some files in a program called NeatWorks that manages his receipts for his business, so this is very vital stuff. He has already shredded the receipts. I need to get this partition bootable, or at the very least able to access.
What I did was I booted into a gparted disk, took out the vists and old 7 partition and resized the new 7 to take over their space. that was done, but there were a couple gigabyte partitions at the beginning. I told it to resize to take them because what the heck. It did, then it started another process or moving the stuff to the beginning of the disk. I wasn't paying attention and clicked cancel and confirm cancel on the following message saying "DONT MESS WITH CRAP" and now this partition isn't readable. I've tried chkdsk /f, that says write protected. I tried fixmbr which did nothing. I have tried checking to see if I can install vista on another partition, but it says 183g HD with 183 free. I tried DISKPART off the 7 startup disk and it says that the filesystem shows up as raw. I am in the gparted disk again looking through testdisk and it says there is no partition really. Disk part shows me three partitions though, volume 1, 2 and 3. 1 is around 160 gigs so thats the partition I need but I can't access it or make it bootable. I tried act to make it active but now when I load the system without any other disc in there it just repeats on a flashing cursor.
I'm not sure what else to do. I really need to get this guys computer fixed but I'm in over my head here.

I was thinking from within the other partition, but I re-read your post...
If you hook up to another computer, you should see the drive. at that point run recuva from the good computer...
This should work. I think.

Pretty much.... The data is still there as long as no new data has been written over it. Its all just 0's and 1's... Recuva is a tool created to read that data even if its not recognized as usable data. So the program should find all of the files and then you can restore them to the good computer's HDD...

From K. D. West, four sensual tales of seduction, desire, serendipity…and pleasure:
"Dana: Thing of Beauty" - A thing of beauty is a joy forever. And a beautiful teacher can be the pleasure of a lifetime. A tale of sexual initiation.
"Bridget: Virgin Knot" - For Ken, virginity was something to get rid of. For Bridget, it's something she's supposed to hold on to. He wants her. She wants him. What could go wrong? A tale of desire, confusion, and sexual initiation - though not necessarily in that order.
"Rachel: The Big Easy" - In a beautiful city, take one part heartsick man, add one part gorgeous young woman and seven parts cayenne - hot sex. Mix together and you've got the gumbo that is…The Big Easy. A tale of sexual serendipity.
"Veronica: Arise, Fair Sun" - A Romeo and his Juliet find that sometimes a nice summer affair is just what the doctor ordered. A tale of sexual tension wonderfully resolved.

Steamy, steamy, and more steamy
Well, the title handles that pretty well, I think! I had already bought one of the audiobooks that makes up this collection and was very, um, fond of it, so it was easy to by the whole thing. It was a pleasure to listen to the other stories. Um. Pleasure. Yes!
Well, I still loved the moment in "BIg Easy" that I, um, still can't talk about, but the very last story starts with a beautiful image of waking up to a lover in bed, and when that moment actually occurs in the story it took my breath away.
So many! "Rachel" and "Veronica" have some seriously hot, sexy scenes, and "Bridget" has a couple of sequences that are both sweet and funny. But the scene in "Dana" where the teacher offers the narrator a "present" -- that really is my favorite, I think. I like the way it's written, but I also loved the way that Milo Churchcutt does a wonderful job of portraying both characters, and making the moment really sexy and really lovely.
One time is never enough!
I really do enjoy the narrator's voice! I hope he reads this!
