The American flag should be either lowered or illuminated at night.
Solar powered flag lights are readily available. I found one for $29.95 at Menard's. Unfortunately, they are quite feeble, seemingly providing about as much light as a birthday candle or an excited firefly. So I decided to make a light. Mine does not need to be solar powered. My flag pole is only about 20 feet from the cabin, so my flag light can be mounted on the cabin and powered from an outside outlet.
I used a CREE XP-G2 white LED . This LED produces about 254 lumens when fed with 700 mA of current. These are $3.99 each. I coupled it to a Carlco 10003 molded plastic TIR (total internal reflection) optic with a 12-degree beamwidth. These are $1.25 each. The lens is held in a Carlco 10734 20mm plastic lens holder for 23 cents. All of the foregoing are available from a number of sources. I used
LEDSupply - For All Your LED Project Needs!.
I machined the housing from 1" dia aluminum barstock. There is a cylindrical aluminum slug inside. The star-mounted LED mates up against the end of this slug with thermal grease. The slug fits snugly inside the housing with about .001" radial clearance, with thermal grease filling the gap. This provides intimate thermal contact between the LED and the housing so the entire housing can serve as a heat sink. The result is that when running a bit more than 2.25 watts (750 mA at about 3 volts) the case temperature is less than 120 deg F, a very comfortable temp for the LED. A rear cap is press-fit into the housing to seal it.
The lens fits snugly in the housing and is seated on the LED. It is held in place by the lens holder, which has little posts that seat into holes in the LED's star mount. All this is fixed in place axially by a nose collar that was machined to be a waterproof (.001" interference) press fit on the housing. There is a thin film of silicone between the collar and the lens and lens holder.
The leads come out thru a hole in the back cap which has been plugged and sealed with Silicone RTV, aka "elephant snot".
Simple electronics comprised of a cadmium sulfide cell, (surplus store or Digi-Key)), a cheap opamp (ST TS951LT, $0.89 from Digi-Key), a P-channel MOSFET and a few resistors comprise a series switch that turns the light on at late dusk when it is nearly dark and turns it off at early dawn. This lot is housed in a transparent pill bottle. The wire coming out the bottom is plugged with elephant snot. A plug was machined from delryn to fit the other end, with an O-ring seal. The hole in it that passes wire is also plugged and sealed with elephant snot.
I made an electronic current regulator for my light because I had all of the parts on hand, but a suitable power supply could also be just a 5-volt wallwart USB supply in series with a 2.7 ohm 2-watt resistor.
The light illuminates the flag very satisfactorily as can be seen in this photo.
This is not photoshopped; it's really what it looks like. It was very windy the night I took the photo so the flag is blurred, but you don't need a needle-sharp image to get a general impression of how it looks at night.
It is probably visible from across the lake 1.5 miles distant. Because the very tight 12-degree beam of light is aimed upwards at the flag atop an 17-foot pole, my neighbors can go skinny-dipping at night confident that they are quite invisible in stygian darkness though less than 100 feet from my flagpole.

Thanks Don42! We've added your Flag Light to our Lighting category,
as well as to your builder page: Don42's Homemade Tools. Your receipt:
Excellent project and details. Using your housing as a heatsink and coupling with thermal grease has given me some ideas for other uses. I am impress with the sunset to sunrise electronics you have housed in a transparent pill bottle. You may think this is simple but I think it sounds pretty advanced for many other applications (e.g., Holiday decoration lighting). Thanks for the posting.
By the way, the CREE products are all well made products. Three years ago I retrofitted more than 50 ceiling recessed lighting fixtures in our house to energy efficient CREE LEDs with wide bezels making a very clean and contemporary looking conversion. The best thing was the CREE LEDs worked with all the 20 year old style Lutron Maestro dimmers and did not have to replace a single dimmer.
Regards, Paul
Don42 this is a great post. I use LEDSupply often as well and they actually have a kit that they sell where you can select your LED and optic to be put within a 1" billeted housing. Here is their LED kit that you can select a Cree XP-G2 or any of their other high power LEDs along with the optic of your choice. With this, all you would need is a power supply or battery source and a driver with a constant current of 700mA like this compact driver choice.
Hope this helps those that are interested in a light like this. Love the use though and how well it did at lighting up the flag!

Throughout this book, we have explored how to develop a-best-in-class web site for a restaurant, using Drupal. Unfortunately, there is not enough room in this book to present all of the possible functionality that you could add to a restaurant's web site. We will begin this chapter by giving you ideas for additional enhancements that you can explore on your own.
Next, we will discuss methods of applying the techniques that you learned in this book to other businesses, as most of you probably neither own a restaurant nor have clients who are restaurant owners.
Finally, we will discuss issues to be considered if you decide to outsource your site development, as well as suggestions for choosing equipment and locations for hosting your web site.
Possible enhancements to the Good Eatin' site
In this section, we will explore additional ideas for enhancing the web site, which we did not have time to cover in detail earlier in this book. For each enhancement, we will either describe how to modify the functionalities that we have already developed, or we will discuss possible modules that you can explore on your own to enhance the site.
Many restaurants offer birthday parties for children especially if they have a child-friendly theme. Our web site could easily be extended to offer information about birthday parties and allow customers to reserve a time slot for their party. We could even offer birthday party hosts, and party planning functionality, which would allow them to create a guest list, have guests respond to the invitations, and track responses.
The informational pages are simply static pages that would be organized under a birthday menu. You should include information about:
• What days and times parties can be booked for
• Activities that can be done at the party
• What is included in the party package and, if there are multiple party packages, what the differences between them are
• How long parties last
• Ages that parties are appropriate for
• Printable directions for guests to use if you don't have a map on the site already
Allowing guests to register for a party could be handled using the Public Bookings module.
There is no dedicated module that would allow you to send invitations for a party. However, you could use the Webform module to create a survey that would be used to send invitations to guests and allow them to respond. We discussed using Webform in Chapter 4.
Gift certificates are used by many restaurants and other types of businesses to solicit new business and to provide an additional revenue source.
Adding gift certificates is simply a matter of adding a new product to your e-commerce store, with specific amounts. You can then either send the customer a printed gift certificate or a gift card.
From Restaurants to Other Businesses
Birthday parties
Gift certificates
Chapter 11
A fancier solution would be to automatically create a discount coupon that the customer could either use online for takeout purchases, or could print and bring the printed coupon into the store for in-store purchases. To create this type of solution, you would need to integrate Ubercart to ensure that certificates are paid for, and then generate coupon codes within Ubercart. You would also need to ensure that coupon redemption is handled on the web site to prevent customers from redeeming the coupon twice, once in the store and once online.
Most businesses are constantly looking to hire new employees. Your Drupal site can be easily extended to provide information to potential employees. Much of the information can be provided in a few static information pages.
You should include the following information:
• A description of positions that are currently available, including the duties of the position and where the employee will work, if you have multiple locations
• Who to contact to submit an application
• When the applicant needs to submit an application by, and when you expect to fill the position
You can automate the process of submitting applications using either a custom-generated content type built using CCK form, or with Webform. The Webform solution may be easier as the response will not need to be saved. However, if you would like to track applications, you may want to use a CCK node that could be extended to track the entire interview and hiring process.
If you do choose to store applicant information, make sure that it is adequately protected, to prevent the disclosure of confidential information. You may want to consider creating a separate site that is available only to employees for personnel information.
Loyalty rewards are a great way of encouraging customers to become repeat customers, and to have them return to your store over and over again. Loyalty rewards programs typically offer free or reduced-price merchandise after a specific number or value of purchases have been made by a customer.
Although there are companies that will administer rewards programs for you, you can also administer the program yourself via your web site.
From Restaurants to Other Businesses
To run a rewards program, you need to:
• Create a unique tracking number for each customer or family.
• When the customer makes a purchase, their rewards balance will need to be updated to show the number of value of purchases they have made, and whether or not they are eligible for a reward.
• When a reward milestone is reached, the server should be notified, so that the customer's final bill is updated accordingly.
While these are the minimum steps for a reward program, but you can enhance your rewards by creating a newsletter for rewards customers, which reminds them of the program and encourages them to return to the store to redeem their rewards, or to take advantage of special offers available only to rewards members.
To handle a basic rewards program, you could use CCK to build a rewards program content type. Each user can then be assigned a single rewards program node. This node can be used to track both purchases and rewards. You can also allow a customer to view their own rewards information, so that they can determine when they will be eligible for another reward, and can see any rewards which they have earned but not redeemed.
You can also create a newsletter using the techniques we discussed in Chapter 6. The focus of this newsletter should be on maximizing the loyalty rewards program, although you may also want to include tips, tricks, or even jokes to keep the newsletter interesting for users.
Although a restaurant is a great example for our web site and for this book, we realize that many of you don't own a restaurant. In this chapter, we will discuss how to modify the functionality that we have developed over the course of this book to meet the needs of a variety of other businesses.
Many people create blogs to talk about topics that are important to them. These blogs are typically updated by a single person, although they can also be created by a team of people. A web site could contain several related blogs that are maintained by a group of people.
Chapter 11
Drupal can certainly handle the most advanced needs of any blogging site. You can use the techniques discussed in Chapter 5 to create the foundation of your blog. Chapter 5 discussed both single-user and multi-user blogs, so you will be able to create either of these easily.
If you want to earn revenue with your blog site, there are a couple of methods you can use depending on your target audience. These are described below:
Adding advertising to your site is one of the most popular methods of gaining revenue for an informational site. Drupal offers several modules that are designed to help you include advertisements on your site.
1. The Adsense module (http://drupal.org/project/adsense) assists you in displaying Google Adsense ads on your site. You will first need to create an account at Google. After installing and configuring the module, you can create Adsense blocks that will display either text or graphical advertisements that relate to the content of your site. You can track revenue on Google's web site. Payments are sent to you on a monthly basis, depending upon the amount of traffic your site receives, and the number of people that click on each advertisement.
2. If you prefer to manage your own advertisements, you can use modules like the Advertisement module (http://drupal.org/project/ad), which allows you to add advertisements to your site, track when each advertisement is created, and display advertisements based on the node that is displayed. There is also support for advanced functionality such as displaying ads based on the visitor's location.
Additional modules related to advertising can be found at: http://drupal.org/ project/Modules/category/55.
Donations are another popular method of gaining revenue for a site. With donations, visitors can send you as much or as little as they want for the information provided to them by your site. If you are not looking to raise large amounts of revenue, this can be a nice option to at least cover the costs of running your site.
You can accept donations via PayPal using Ubercart. However, a simpler method is using a donation module such as Buy Me a Beer (http://drupal.org/project/ buymeabeer). This module provides an easy-to-use interface for visitors to send you a donation via PayPal. You must specify an email address that accepts PayPal payments in the configuration settings for the module.
From Restaurants to Other Businesses
Another method of getting revenue is by selling memberships to your web site for a fee. If you decide to sell memberships, you should make sure that members are clearly aware of what they will receive for their membership, and that the members-only content is worth the fee that you are charging.
The Ubercart Roles module is a great way of selling memberships. This module allows you to sell access to various roles. You can then assign access to content based on the roles, so that only paid members receive access to the restricted content. If you prefer, you can have memberships expire after a specified time. This allows you to receive recurring income rather than providing lifetime access in return for a one-time payment.
If you are running an online store, then much of the functionality described in this book will apply directly to your site. You will certainly want to provide information about your store, as well as information about the products that you sell. All of the information in Chapters 1-3 will help you to build your site. You may even want to give customers the opportunity to purchase items online for in-store pick-up, using the techniques described in Chapter 9.
A photographer can use many of the techniques described in Chapters 2 and 3 to display a gallery of images online. Downloadable pictures can be sold using Ubercart. To sell a picture, you will want to use the File Downloads module to restrict high quality images to only those users who have purchased them. You can also allow customers to purchase printed images that will be physically delivered to them.
A bed and breakfast business can use the Public Bookings module to display when each individual room is available and when it is occupied, so that guests can select a room that they want to reserve. After they have selected a room, you can allow them to book the room using Ubercart.
You can easily provide a profile of each room, including pictures, descriptions, and even virtual tours, by using the functionality covered in Chapters 2 and 3.
_Chapter 11
When you are ready to begin development of your web site, you will either need to purchase web site hosting, or you will need to purchase a server and have it installed at a web site hosting company. In this section, we will help you determine which route to take, and what to look for in a web host.
Although the functionality described in this book can be accomplished by most people with good computer skills, you may find that you do not have the time or desire to build the entire web site by yourself. We will also discuss how to select a firm to develop a web site for you.
When deciding on a company to host your web site, or to provide you with bandwidth, there are several factors that you need to consider so that you are satisfied both in the short term and over a longer time period. Because your site will last for several years, you will need to ensure that you have a plan for upgrading as traffic on your site grows, new releases of Drupal are made available, and your server ages. Although it may seem too early to think about your upgrade plans, you will be glad that you thought about them sooner rather than later.
Because Drupal is a highly dynamic content management system, it makes frequent calls to your database and requires more processing than a simple static web site. You can reduce some of the processing requirements by using some of the caching techniques we discussed in the previous chapter. However, you will still need a more powerful server with more memory than you would need if you were creating a simple static web site.
Due to this need for increased processing power, you will want a more modern server with extra memory. In most cases, a shared hosting plan will not be a good solution because many shared hosting plans are over-sold leaving few actual resources on the server. Hosting plans that cost less than $10 per month should normally be ruled out unless you have a very small site, or are not concerned if the site experiences periodic downtimes.
From Restaurants to Other Businesses
If you plan to purchase a server, you should look for a server with a multiple core and, if possible, multiple processors. You should have a minimum of 1GB memory, but if you can afford it, more memory is always better. Most web sites do not require large amounts of hard drive space, and Drupal-based sites are no exception. You should be able to use 73GB hard drives unless you plan to store and serve a large number of pictures or video. You should plan on having at least two hard drives configured as a RAID array, which will automatically duplicate data from the primary drive onto the secondary drive. If your primary drive fails, you can automatically switch to the secondary drive. You may also want to consider purchasing a redundant power supply to ensure up-time even if your primary power supply fails.
You should also ensure that any server that you buy has some room for expansion, in case you find that you need to add a processor or additional memory to the site.
Fortunately, these specifications do not have to be cost-prohibitive. At the time of writing, a rack-based server with 4GB of memory, 2 processors, and dual—80 GB hard drives would cost approximately $1,200. Tower computers are typically less expensive to purchase, but can be more expensive to be hosted in a data center.
If you are running a highly-popular site, you may need to look into having a database server that is separate from your web server. You can also explore having multiple web servers that are load-balanced for performance reasons.
If you choose to purchase a virtual server, or a dedicated server from a hosting provider, make sure that you ask them what upgrade plans they have for the server (if any), how maintenance is handled, how quickly faulty components are replaced, and what the process would be if you needed to upgrade to a more powerful server in the future.
There is a wide variety of hosting plans that you can choose from. Most hosting plans include the hardware as well as hosting, for a combined price. You can also purchase hosting independently from the hardware, by purchasing the hardware and then selecting a data center to place the hardware in. Your business may also have sufficient Internet connectivity to host a server on your site.
Hosting a server at your business site is certainly the most convenient option, but you will also need the knowledge to maintain the server and the connection. An in-house connection may also be more prone to failure when compared to a data center connection that typically has multiple incoming and outgoing connections. However, having the server at your site will allow you to easily upgrade or replace the server as needed, to ensure that you are using appropriate hardware for your site.
Locating your server in a dedicated data center typically provides you with the best overall performance and reliability, since a data center will be climate-controlled to optimize server performance, will have fast and reliable connections to the Internet, and will provide sufficient clean power, with generators in case power is temporarily unavailable. However, it can be less convenient to access the server if you need to carry out physical maintenance, and you will have to give up some control over the environment.
A hosting provider that provides both hardware and hosting gives you the least amount of control over your server, because you typically cannot visit the data center or view the physical hardware. However, this type of provider will handle most or all administration tasks for you, so you do not have to worry about the day-to-day maintenance of your server.
I have used all three types of hosting, and each type has its advantages, depending on the size of your site and how busy your site will be. Smaller sites will generally choose all-in-one hosting, because performance is not as critical, initial costs are lower, and you do not need as much knowledge to get started. Larger business sites will typically purchase their own server and host it either at their own site or at a data center, depending on the connection speed at their location and how well they can secure and maintain the server.
Several companies with all-in-one hosting plans have either servers or plans that are tailored specifically to Drupal sites. The Drupal-specific features can be in the form of improved hardware to meet the needs of busy Drupal sites, installation and maintenance of Drupal, or support teams that include people with experience creating and maintaining Drupal sites.
The Drupal site has a list of such hosts at: http://drupal.org/hosting. Many of these hosts provide support to the Drupal association to directly help with the ongoing development and maintenance of Drupal. This list of providers is more up-to-date than any list I could provide here.
Chapter 11
Drupal-specific hosting plans
From Restaurants to Other Businesses
As you research web site hosts to work with, you should check the forums on Drupal.org to see if other users have tried them before, and if they have had any problems. If there are no reviews of a hosting provider, you may want to do additional research on the Internet to see what other opinions are available. Of course, negative comments should be taken with a grain of salt because most people only take the time to complain if they have a problem, and do not remember to post about great service. When in doubt, try contacting the hosting provider to see how they respond to your questions. You can also ask them for customers who may be able to give you their opinions on the service.
When you select an all-in-one hosting provider, you are putting a critical factor for the success of your web site into someone else's hands. After all, if your web site goes down, no one can find you, and recovery depends on the speed with which your hosting provider corrects any issues.
With that in mind, it is important to review how long a company has been in business, as a more experienced company will have dealt with a wider range of problems already, which hopefully means that they know how to avoid them in the future. A newer company may not be aware of potential issues until they arise, which could lead to additional downtime for you.
Of course, every new business needs a fair chance, so if you find a newer company that you feel will meet your needs, feel free to use them. But do make sure that you do some extra research on what plans they have to handle all of the emergencies you can think of.
When you set up a web site, you need to make sure that you get access to it when you need to install new releases, add new modules, and perform other maintenance tasks. If your web site is hosted in your building or in a nearby data center, you could certainly walk up to the server, log in, and perform the required maintenance. However, most of the time, you will want to transfer files to the server using FTP, and log in to the server remotely using SSH (secure shell). Make sure that your host provides access to your server using these methods.
Graphical control panels provide an alternative to SSH at some web hosts. A high-quality control panel can provide a fast method of accomplishing most administrative tasks on your site. If your host does offer a control panel, make sure that you review the functionality that it provides, when you are evaluating hosts, to ensure that it will meet your needs.
_Chapter 11
As hosting companies try to gain new customers, they will include additional features that may or may not be of value to you. Some of the items that many host include:
1. Free domain names: This can be nice, but you may also want to purchase a domain name from a reseller, which may give you additional control over the domain settings. Having separate control over your domain can also make it easier to change hosts if this comes necessary.
2. Email accounts: In most cases, you will receive email hosting with your site hosting package. Unless you have separate email capabilities already, it would a good idea to use your host's email, or you can create a Gmail account for your site. A Gmail account allows you to access your mail from a variety of locations, and it has superb spam protection. There are both free and paid options available, depending on the size of your business. You can get more information at: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/ business/messaging.html.
3. Online site builders and web site creators: Because we are using Drupal we won't need any other site builder tools.
4. SSL Certificates: If you are planning to set up an e-commerce store, you will need an SSL certificate. You could purchase one separately, but the included certificates will save you some time and money.
5. Regular backups: Some plans offer regular automated backups. You should check to see what is backed up, how often it is backed up, and what needs to be done to restore from the backup should this become necessary.
6. Support: This is a critical aspect of a hosting plan. You want to ensure that support technicians are knowledgeable and are easy to reach. Nothing is more frustrating than waiting on hold at your host for a long time, and then having the technician not being able to answer your question, or appearing to read from a script giving canned answers that don't apply to your particular problem. You should also look for hosts that provide both email- and phone-based support. You should test the support prior to signing up, to make sure that the host is responsive to questions.
Although creating a site with Drupal can be much easier than creating a site using traditional methods and programs, many people still turn to a professional developer to build their site for them. This can save time, and free you to concentrate on ensuring that your site meets your businesses needs while someone else handles the technical work.
From Restaurants to Other Businesses
When you select a developer, there are several issues that you should keep in mind. This section will cover each of these issues in detail.
As you select a developer to build a site for you, you will want to ensure that the developer or development firm has experience in the following areas:
• Previous experience in building Drupal-based sites
• Experience in building Drupal modules, if you need to have custom functionality developed
• Experience in working with MySQL
• Experience with the hardware and operating system that you plan to deploy your site on
• Experience in tuning Drupal to meet the performance needs of your site
• Experience in running projects similar to the scope and complexity of your project
A developer should also be easy to work with, and you should be able to communicate easily with him or her using the medium of your choice. For example, if you prefer to discuss the project on the phone, it makes no sense to select a developer who will only communicate via email.
A graphic designer can be placed in charge of developing the look and feel of your site. The graphic designer may work with the developer, or he or she may be independent, providing only the finished images to the developer, who will integrate the images into the web site theme.
Selecting a graphic designer can be an intensely personal process, because site design is a very subjective work. A good designer will take your suggestions and transform them into a work of art better than you imagined. However, success is not guaranteed as each designer tends to have a particular style that he or she is good at. Before hiring a graphic designer, you should carefully review the designer's portfolio to ensure that you like the designs that he or she has previously created. You should also contact any references that he or she provides, to ensure that his or her prior customers were satisfied.
You also need to ensure that the developer has worked on Drupal-based web sites before, to confirm that they understand how to build a design that can be used easily with a variety of content, and to ensure that they can provide the correct information to successfully theme each block and custom view that you are creating.
Chapter 11
Finally, you need to determine if the designer will be responsible for building the theme for the site, or if they will only create one or more images that will be used by the developer to create the theme. If your developer is building the theme, you need to ensure that they are comfortable with building Drupal themes.
A great place to begin looking for a developer to build your site is the Drupal web site. The Drupal site has a forum where developers can post their availability or respond to job postings.
You can access the forum at: http://drupal.org/paid-services.
As a minimum, before you post a request for a proposal, you should make sure that you have fully defined what you want done, and have an idea of how much you are willing to pay for the work.
By putting a limit on how much you want to pay, you can decide if the developer estimates are in line with your budget. If the quotes come in higher than you can afford, you will need to trim functionality to meet your budget. If all of the estimates are within your budget, you have the luxury of selecting a developer based solely on the quality of the proposal.
The more complete your request for a proposal is, the better the response from the consultant will be. So make sure that you have a complete outline of what you need to do. Here are some topics that you may want to include in your request:
• The proposed structure of the site.
• Functionality that you need to implement on your site.
• A complete description of any custom functionality that you want to have developed.
• A description of what you want the site to look like. If you have an existing site you want to mimic, providing that information will help. If you don't have an existing site, try picking out between three and five themes on the Drupal.org site that you like, and tell the developer what you do or don't like about each one.
• A description of what hardware the web site will run on, if you have that information.
• An estimate of the number of visitors who will use the site per month, and how many concurrent users there will be on the site at peak times.
• A list of any deadlines that the developer needs to meet.
• Any testing the developer will need to do on his or her own.
From Restaurants to Other Businesses
• Information about the resources that will be available to the developer to complete the project, including testing resources, business resources, and project management resources.
• If functionality can be added in phases, a description of each milestone should be included.
• Payment terms, including whether or not you prefer a fixed cost quote, or a cost based on the actual time spent on the project.
Although many project proposals will not include all of these elements, you should try to provide as many as possible in order to help the developer create a complete and accurate proposal for you.
After your proposal is ready, you can submit it on the Drupal.org site. You can also review some of the development groups that are listed on the Drupal site and contact them directly to request a quote.
As developers review your project, they will most likely need to ask you additional questions to clarify specific points in your project. Make sure that you answer any questions as quickly and as thoroughly as possible.
When you evaluate a developer, you should talk with him or her in person, or on the telephone, to ensure that he or she has a thorough understanding of your project, and to ensure that you can work well with him or her. You will also want to check samples of his or her work, and discuss his or her work with any references that he or she can provide.
In this chapter, we have explored different ways of modifying the techniques used in this book to apply them to your site. For those readers who want to set up a web site, but don't want to do all the work themselves, we also discussed tips for outsourcing the development of thee web site to another company.
If you choose to build your own site, I wish you many hours of enjoyment as you build and enhance your site. The wonderful thing about Drupal is that you can make your site as simple or as complex as you want. You certainly do not need to build a site as complex as the Good Eatin' site. You can also start with a simple site and graduall evolve into a complex site over time, letting your confidence grow with each step.
Chapter 11
If you choose to outsource development, the knowledge that you have gained by reading this book will help you to effectively communicate the goals of your web site to the company doing the development work. This will in turn reduce the cost of building your web site, reduce or eliminate rework, and help the developer in creating a site that best meets your needs. You will also understand the possibilities that Drupal offers, giving you new ideas for how your web site can promote your business. After the initial development is complete, you may even want to build new pages or edit existing pages using the techniques described in this book.
Of course, Drupal is always evolving and improving, which gives you the chance to take advantage of the latest web site technologies to give your customers the best possible experience. To keep up-to-date with Drupal, make sure that you visit drupal.org frequently.

This empowering portrait session is so special to me because Ashley is such an incredible woman! Ashley and I have shot together a handful of times over the years. But, this was the first time I had the pleasure of shooting her by herself. She's grown tremendously as a person. Ashley has upended her life multiple times on the journey to find herself and what would create her completely blissful life. It's been an honor to be a part of that in my small way! This was a celebration of her and how far she's come and how far she's yet to go.
Portrait sessions for a single subject work just a little differently than portrait sessions for a couple. Instead of getting to know you two and your connection, what your love looks like, I focus on getting to know you by yourself. That means focusing on what your connection to yourself and to your body looks like. We laugh a lot, I make a lot of inappropriate jokes, and we get really real.
My entire mission is to create both a safe and empowering space that lifts you up. I want to capture who you truly are, and making you feel comfortable is a huge part of being able to do that. Ashley was able to laugh and celebrate who she's become during her empowerment portrait session – and that's all I could have asked for!
Raven is an Atlanta Wedding and Portrait Photographer who captures real people on their totally unique and completely awesome journeys. Portrait sessions are a chance to explore who you are and to capture your story. She travels throughout Georgia, including Athens, North Georgia, Dahlonega and beyond, documenting love.

Garst Museum reopened its doors for visitors on Saturday, February 1. A month-long closing in January allowed the museum staff time to clean and reorganize exhibits in preparation for an exciting new year. Visitors will find the facility in top-notch condition. Dan Kagey, the grounds and maintenance manager, has dusted, cleaned, and waxed almost every nook and cranny in the museum.
Several improvements have been made to the exterior of the museum. Garst Museum must be maintained to preserve the building and make sure it is weatherproof and safe for patrons. In addition, the museum must be a safe and secure place to house priceless collections. The Board of Directors made the decision to have two large trees removed from in front of the museum. Both of these trees posed a great risk of damaging the museum if they came down during a storm. Other repairs to the building exterior included repairing and painting the front of the Coppock Wing, installing new gutters and leaf guards, repainting the antique iron planters, repairing handrails at both entrances, and replacing a faulty air-conditioning unit in the Pioneer Wing. Garst Museum thanks the Coppock Hole Trust, Jeff Hole, Fred Brumbaugh, and the Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust for funding these repairs. A special thanks also goes to board member Pete Hemer for overseeing these projects.
Garst Museum Reopened February 1, 2020
It is with sadness that we recognize the passing of Emeritus Director and Annie Oakley researcher Marilyn Robbins. Marilyn played an instrumental role in the success Garst Museum has enjoyed over the years. She dedicated a substantial amount of her time, effort, and care in moving the museum's mission forward and was generous with her knowledge about Annie Oakley. Marilyn was an inspiration in her selfless dedication to not only the Garst Museum but for all of her volunteer work. Marilyn has left a lasting legacy at Garst Museum that we are grateful for.
Honoring Marilyn Robbins

Garst Museum and the Darke County Park District are pleased to welcome Deb Shiverdecker as the 2020 Living History Encampment chairperson for The Gathering at Garst. Deb has worked as the administrative assistant at the Darke County Park District for 15 years. During that time, she has helped organize history-related and other large events that the Park District hosts including Prairie Days, Candlelight Dinners on the Prairie, Maple Sugarin' and the annual Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland. Deb was instrumental in the organization and planning of the bicentennial celebration of the Treaty of Greene Ville that the Park District hosted in 2014. She has served as a co-organizer of the encampment at The Gathering for the past several years. Jenny Clark, chairperson of The Gathering at Garst, states, "We are confident with Deb's leadership and the help of our committee members that the encampment will continue to be an exciting part of The Gathering. We are all looking forward to celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Gathering at Garst in July 2020 as we welcome Deb to our team."
The Living History Encampment at The Gathering at Garst has become a premier living-history event receiving statewide attention. The encampment is staged under the shade of 300-year-old oak trees on land owned by the Darke County Park District. The partnership between Garst Museum and the Darke County Park District helps ensure the longevity of the encampment. It is the excellent leadership over the past nine years that has helped the encampment grow in popularity. Hank Steinmetz and Galen Delk, his successor, were both instrumental in starting and making the encampment the success that it is today. Their hard work and dedication along with help from loyal committee members are deeply appreciated. It is the hope of Garst Museum, Darke County Park District, and The Gathering at Garst Committee that the encampment continues its success.
Gathering at Garst Welcomes New Encampment Chairperson
The Darke County Historical Society's Heritage Award was created in 2004 to recognize distinguished citizens or organizations for their outstanding contributions or actions of unusual excellence that help connect people to Darke County's past. Dr. Clay Johnson, CEO of the Garst Museum, notes, "For those familiar with the area, Darke County is rich in its history and traditions, and its significance touches so many in the community. The Darke County Historical Society (DCHS) recognizes this importance and feels its responsibility is to honor those that join in its mission in celebrating the county's past." The DCHS operates the Garst Museum according to its mission to collect, preserve, exhibit, study, and interpret materials relating to the history and culture of Darke County. This year's Heritage Award goes to the Fort GreeneVille Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution.
The Fort GreeneVille DAR chapter was organized in January 1922. Over the years, the chapter has flourished and received high honors for its work in various areas that the DAR stands for. Honoring patriots of the Revolutionary War, the women's service organization promotes historic preservation, education, and patriotism. Today, the chapter has 61 dedicated members that own the Studebaker Schoolhouse, the first brick school house erected in 1840 in Darke County. The schoolhouse was gifted to the DAR in 1934, and the chapter has maintained the grounds and school as a beautiful entrance to Greenville on St. Rt. 49.
The DAR is very active in the county searching for the gravesites of Revolutionary War veterans. Over 20 Revolutionary War patriot graves in Darke County have been identified with grave markers or rededicated since 2016 with more to come. The members donate their time and money to preserve veterans' uniforms and memorabilia in the Veterans' Building at the Darke County Fairgrounds. They have encased 31 uniforms over the past two years. They help organize and participate in Veterans Day parades and activities. This past December, they participated in Wreaths Across America at the Greenville-Union Cemetery and placed approximately 300 wreaths on veterans' graves. The chapter has donated countless genealogical and historical books to local libraries and presents historical programs at local schools.
Sustaining its legacy, the organization continues to accomplish its mission with such high integrity. It is with great appreciation that Garst Museum recognizes the members of the Fort GreeneVille Daughters of the American Revolution and honors its members with the 2019 Heritage Award for their dedication in preserving history, promoting education, and honoring patriots.

Following the donation of the former Buchy Food Service property in 2012, the museum grounds expanded to over nine acres.

The Royal Picture Alphabet
Another pictorial alphabet but no architecture this time. "Royal" is used here in the more general sense of "grand" or "first-rate", and this isn't the only example of an instruction book for children that calls its alphabet a royal one. John Leighton's Royal Picture Alphabet is a finer example than others to be found at the Internet Archive, however, where the results are either very simple or, in the case of Walter Crane's Absurd ABC, might have benefitted from additional pages. It's surprising that Leighton's book is a more substantial piece of work than Crane's when Crane wrote a history of book design. Leighton's alphabet is also surprisingly polysyllabic; you can't imagine anyone today choosing "Eccentricity" to represent the letter E.
Books such as this always have trouble with the letters at the end of the alphabet, especially that tricky X. The Royal Picture Alphabet chooses "Xantippe", the wife of Socrates, while its earlier counterpart has "Xanthus", a horse from Greek mythology. (That old stand-by, the xylophone, didn't become established until later in the 19th century.) Both books, and Crane's volume, offer "Zany" for the letter Z.

There was really only ONE story out of China this week, namely the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Incident. We could have devoted the entirety of ZGBriefs to the marking of that event, but we narrowed it down to a handful. Two of those articles are highlighted here. In addition, we couldn't pass up two articles about the hazards for foreigners who live and work in China.
Tiananmen, 25 years later where are they now? (June 4, 2014, China Real Time)
In a week that saw a veritable torrent of stories about the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Incident in 1989, this was one of the most interesting. It's an update on the lives of some of the student leaders. The price paid by these (and many others) has indeed been high.
LinkedIn Said It Would Censor in China. Now That It Is, Some Users Are Unhappy (June 4, 2014, China Real Time)
Not wanting to be shut out of the China market (aka Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) the professional network LinkedIn agreed to censor content delivered to members in China. This week the world got a glimpse of what that actually looks like:
It's one thing to say you will censor, and another to actually do it.
LinkedIn has been learning that firsthand over the past day as it has come in for complaints from several users after it began blocking posts deemed sensitive by the Chinese government within the country ahead of the 25th Anniversary of the crackdown on Tiananmen Square protesters.
In February, LinkedIn said it was applying to set up operations in China and would in turn censor some content within the country. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal at the time, LinkedIn Chief Executive Jeff Weiner said the company expected "there will be requests to filter content," adding, "we are strongly in support of freedom of expression and we are opposed to censorship [but] that's going to be necessary for us to achieve the kind of scale that we'd like to be able to deliver to our membership."
The announcement at the time didn't raise hackles, but now that the censorship has begun, the reality of his words is sinking in with users in China. Those affected aren't happy.
A LinkedIn user in Hong Kong received this message when he tried to post a video about Tiananmen Square:
We want to clarify that your activity is and has been visible globally, with the exception of the People's Republic of China. This is due to specific requirements within China to block certain content so that it does not appear on our network in the country.
The arm of China's censorship regime is very long indeed!
U.S. Teacher: I Did 7 Months Of Forced Labor In A Chinese Jail (May 29, 2014, NPR)
For most foreign teachers in China, the biggest problems are dealing with last minute schedule and work assignment changes and rampant plagiarism. This teacher found himself behind bars in a Chinese prison.
Prisoner 1741 spent more than seven months inside a jail in southern China, assembling Christmas lights for export to America. Work days stretched up to 10 hours and conditions were tough, he says. One boss used strands of Christmas lights to whip workers and drive production.
Stories about forced labor have trickled out of China over the years, but what makes Prisoner 1741's so remarkable is that he isn't Chinese. He's American. In fact, he's a middle-aged, American sociology professor from South Carolina.
A fascinating look into the Chinese penal system and a good reminder of the importance of being a law-abiding guest when working in China.
How to pick the right Chinese name for your company (May 30, 2014, Nanjing Marketing Group)

For the first time in 12 years, economist and money money manager Gary Shilling is recommending that investors short U.S. stocks. More specifically, he's suggesting a small short position in the S&P 500 while investors continue to hold modest long positions in defensive stocks like consumer staples and utilities, long positions in Treasuries and heavy positions in cash as well as short sales in commodities such as copper.
The last time Shilling recommended shorting the S&P 500 was 2007, just before the Great Recession.
Shilling's reasons for his current call: rapidly slowing economic growth in the U.S. and abroad, sliding corporate profit growth and a recent retrenchment in consumer spending and confidence — most of these exacerbated by the continuing U.S.-China trade war.
(Webinar on Oct. 9: Inheriting the Inheritors: The Big Wealth Transfer and Tools Needed to Capture It)
Shilling, who says the U.S. economy is already in recession, debunks the idea that low interest rates support high stock price-to-earnings ratios. He argues that the correlation between the S&P 500 P/E and yields on three-month Treasury bills, 10-year notes and 30-year Treasury bond are small and the reverse of what's expected — less than 50% since 2000 when comparing the S&P earnings yield (the inverse of the S&P P/E) to Treasury yields.
Low yields instead "are probably foretelling economic weakness and possible deflation that will dramatically slash corporate earnings and P/Es," writes Shilling, in his latest market outlook, noting that business investment is falling, and consumer spending, which supports about 70% of U.S. economic growth, is also slipping.
In addition, says Shilling, founder of A. Gary Shilling & Co., falling interest rates now are encouraging saving rather than spending by U.S. consumers. The U.S. savings rate is currently just over 8%, below the December 2018 high of 8.8% but well above the 5.9% to 7.2% range that persisted between February 2013 and November 2018.
The jobs report for September, released Friday, didn't do much to dispel Shilling's outlook. Wages were unchanged and payroll growth was moderate, at 136,000, though payroll gains for the previous two months were revised higher and the unemployment rate fell to a record low of 3.5%.
The stock market rallied on the news in the belief that the relatively weak employment report increased odds for another rate cut at the Federal Open Market Committee's next meeting in October. The latest CME FedWatch tool shows those odds to be close to 80%. The stock market apparently still believes that lower rates support higher stock prices. Shilling doesn't.
"Evidence of a global recession continues to mount," writes Shilling. "The remaining piece to assure a U.S. downturn is consumer spending — and payroll and weekly earnings growth continue to slide while consumer confidence as well as income and asset polarization, along with heavy debt, point to further rises in saving at the expense of spending. So do lower interest rates and forced postwar baby spending restraint."

Hanabee's library buildup from the spring 2014 anime season continues as they've announced the acquisition of Black Bullet, which will likely hit some time in 2015. The company has added both streaming and home video rights for the show. The series comes from the original creator, Shiden Kanzaki, and is directed by Masayuki Kojima (Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Bottom Biting Bug) with series composition by Tatsuhiko Urahata (Fighting Spirit, Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere), music by Shiro Sagisu (Nadia – The Secret of Blue Water, Neon Genesis Evangelion) and animation production by Kinema Citrus (Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Yuyushiki).
Sentai Filmworks has picked up the North American rights for it and if they produce a dub, it will be available for the Australian release as well.
Plot concept: It's the year 2031 and ten years have passed since Rentaro's parents – along with most of mankind – were killed by an alien parasitical virus known as Gastrea. Rentaro, along with his childhood friends, Kisara and Enju, have formed the Tendo Civil Security to tirelessly fight against Gastrea. Operating as a pair with Enju as Initiator, and Rentaro as Promoter, serving to lead the cursed children, they must together work as a team to dismantle evil brought on by Gastrea.

Shrawan, in RTI Appeals decisions

By Shrawan
Central Information Commission
Decision No.286/IC(A)/2006
F. No.CIC/MA/A/2006/00453
Dated, the 20th September, 2006
Name of the Appellant : Sh. N. Anbarasan, APPLESOFT, #39,1st, Cross, 1st Main, Shivnagar, W.C. Road,Bangalore – 560 010.
Name of the Public Authority: Indian Overseas Bank, Central Office, Customer Service Department, P.B.No.3765, 763, Anna Salai, Chennai – 600 002.
Facts of the Case:
The appellant had sought the following information from the CPIO of the Indian Overseas Bank:
"Request/invitation for proposal/quotation, Quotations, Technical bid, Commercial bid submitted by various language software (like Hind isoftware, Tamil software etc.) suppliers related to supply of software to all the Head/corporate offices and sub-ordinate offices/branches.
Purchase Order/Supply Order placed on various language software suppliers related to supply of software.
Request/invitation for proposal/quotation, Quotations, Technical bid, Commercial bid submitted by various vendors/dealers related to purchase of computers like PC, Server, Thin client etc. to the Head/Corporate offices and sub-ordinate offices/branches. Minutes/proceedings of the various committees involved in the
purchase of software/hardware.
Delivery Challans, Bills/Invoice, orders passed to make the payment, letter of sanction etc. related to purchase of computers like PC, Server, Thin client etc. to the sub-ordinate offices/branches.â€
[*]In his reply, the CPIO informed that information sought is: "Exempted under Section 8(1)(d) of the Act as the information falls under "commercial confidence†and "Trade Secrets†which would harm the competitive position of the third parties and the larger public interest does not warrant such disclosure.â€
[*]The appellate authority has upheld the decision of the CPIO.
Commission's Decision
In a recent decision of the Commission, the following was observed: (Decision No.216 dated 31st August 2006):
"Transparency in functioning of public authorities is expected to be ensured through the exercise of right to know, so that a citizen can scrutinize the fairness and objectivity of every public action. This objective cannot be achieved unless the information that is created and generated by public bodies is disclosed in the form in which it exists with them.
Therefore, an information is to be provided in the form in which it is sought, u/s 7(9) of the Act. And, if it does not exist in the form in which it is asked for and provided to the applicant, there is no way that proper scrutiny of public action could be made to determine any deviations from the established practices or accepted policies.â€
In view of this, the information sought relate to the public action with regard to the processes that have been followed in purchase of computers and other accessories. Such actions clearly fall under the public domain and therefore exemption claimed u/s 8(1)(d) is not justified.
The CPIO is, therefore, directed to furnish the information sought within 15 working days from the issue of this decision. The appeal is accordingly disposed of.
(Prof. M.M. Ansari)
Information Commissioner
By arunonline
As per section 10 (2) (e), there is a power with the Public Information Officer to review his own orders. Is there such power of review with the first and second Appellate authorities?

SARN info - think I might have caught them out!greenspun.com : LUSENET : Repossession : One Thread
I got a load of SARN stuff the other day and was wading through it all last night and this is what I found:
1. Copy of the letter telling me to get out of my house 10 days before Xmas. 2. Bailiffs werent sent to the house til 3 months later and that was when it was 'officially' repossessed. 3. Then numerous bills from property management companies for repetitive work done to the house even though it was said to have been in 'reasonable' condition. The work done over a period of 3 years equates to almost 2k! 4. Property sitting empty for 3 years and then suddenly put on the market at less than half of what I paid for it and promptly reduced in price by 1k every month thereafter until it was sold 4 months later.
I though this was very odd - why would all this work be done on my house for it to sit empty for 3 years only for it to be sold so hastily?
Upon further investigation, I found in a report by the bank themselves that this property along with over 30 other similar properties were deliberately witheld from the market whilst investigating the possibilty of leasing the properties to a housing association. It also stated that negotiations had been exhausted and my property along with all the others were then put on the market! SO the property had been deliberately not marketed for 3 years and I am being charged for interest on it and all the work done on it during that time! Also when the property was marketed, the estate agent was pressured into selling it by a certain date or else it would go to another estate agents, an offer was then made and accepted 2 days before that deadline date!
Also, I found from a debt collection history record that it was boldly marked on there in January that the 'SIX YEAR PERIOD ENDS' in a couple of months. I know there is a lot of debate about the 6 yr and 12 yr debts so why was this highlighted to the bank and its solicitors?
What I want to know is what peoples opinions are on this? Where do you think I stand? I had all my delaying tactics planned but I knew something fishy was going on.
-- anon (email@example.com), May 22, 2002
Who was the lender? Who was the debt collector? Who was the lawyer, if different to the debt collector? Which housing association? Where was the property? When was it sold? Any other "names" involved in this lease deal?
It sounds to me as though they will not be able to successfully take you to court to recover the debt (because of holding back the property) but I wouldn't point that out to them (otherwise they would just drop the size of their claim to a figure they were still happy with).
Instead, I'd make an itemised list of everything that is odd in the SARN response and then add it to this post for the benefit of all of us. Please do name names though, so other repossessees and future mortgage customers of this lender can assess how relevant the lender's behaviour is to them.
Good work on the discoveries!
-- Lee (email@example.com), May 22, 2002.
When did your Lender first contact you? This mention of the 6 year period could be because of the voluntary 6 year code. See the CML web: page "www.cml.org.uk/servlet/dycon/zt cml/cml/live/en/cml/pub_info_dept" . I'm very interested in what you say about your property having been withheld from the market whilst investigating the possibility of leasing it. I have been investigating this myself recently as I recently saw this in a Hansard report:
"Under the new extension to the scheme, the empty repossessed houses on the building societies' books can be let to housing associations for periods of between one and three years, and occupied by families. Later, when the property is eventually sold, the lender should get a better price than he would from a forced sale now. The scheme also reduces the losses of the borrowers. In the meantime, the property is maintained and squatting is eliminated. The process also helps to stabilise house prices by controlling the rate at which empty property is offered in the market. Far from being half-baked, the scheme works to the benefit of all involved."
Have you got a copy of the report by the bank ? I would be very interested in a copy of it.
-- M Amos (email@example.com), May 22, 2002.
This was my point, it wasnt actually let out at all, they only spent 3 years negotiating the possibitlity of it with a local housing association - all at my expense!
-- anon (firstname.lastname@example.com), May 22, 2002.
You could also take your case to your local MP and make a complaint to the Financial Service Ombudsman.
-- M Amos (email@example.com), May 22, 2002.
where do you think I should go from now though? Should I get a soliciotr involved or simply write to them and ask why my propert wasnt marketed until 3 years after repo?
-- anon (email@example.com), May 24, 2002.
Don't write and ask why 3 years,(see first reply from Lee). Remember the lender and recovery agents have experience and knowledge,they will use this to their advantage,and will only reveal information they want you to know,unless you issue SARN against them. They want information to help them,but won't return the same courtesy to you,as it may be counter productive. The info you have discovered could help you at a later date,but don't ask the lender about the three years,you can prepare a better case against them,and if you allow them to think you are less well prepared than you really are,you can use this to your advantage.

KO MUROBUSHI – QUICK SILVER solo butoh performance
October 26th
21.00 Teatro Era, Pontedera (PI)
KO MUROBUSHI – butoh workshop
October 27th – 28th 2012
saturday h 15.00- h 20.00
sunday h11.00-h 16.00
<scorrere per la versione in italiano>
An experience of a loss of words, a loss of self in an encounter with the inscrutable, with the unknown.
— dance is the sensuality formed in this transient moment.
All forms will collapse, and bare in their collapse
Also further our dance is a risky process of disappearance and appearance.
It is incessantly throwing of the body
"There is freedom and creation in dancing unfree forms, collapsing forms"
We can gain a much, much deeper knowledge – and of what?
About distance?
About eroticism?
Why do we feel more "distant" the closer we are?
Why are we so fascinated by the sick and why do we desire even the infection?
Subjects of the Work shop :
Ko Murobushi
Ko Murobushi is one of the best known and acclaimed Butoh artists in the world, and is recognized as a leading inheritor of Hijikata's vision of Butoh.
He studied with Hijikata from 1968 and after a short experience of "Yamabushi" mountain Monk, he founded a Butoh group "DAIRAKUDAKAN" together with Akaji Maro and others. In 1974, he created a Butoh magazine "Hageshii Kisetsu (Violent Season)", and in the same year, he founded a female Butoh company "ARIADONE" with Carlotta Ikeda and also choreographed them. In 1976, he founded a male Butoh group "SEBI", and as a co-producer of those two groups, he introduced Butoh to Europe with big sensation."LE DERNIER EDEN -porte de l'au-de la" succeeded in Paris in 1978, and was followed by a big tour throughout Europe with ARIADONE in 1981/82.From 1985, he concentrated on duo-productions and toured in Europe and South America in the following years. While he continues to open his dance and Butoh to the worldwide influences, he tries to research his work much deeper into its Japanese roots.
He has received numerous awards for residencies worldwide, including in Mexico, India, and the U.S. He is also in great demand as a workshop facilitator of the ImPulsTanz Festival in Vienna and CNDC Angers.
In 2003, he formed a unit called "Ko Edge Co." with three Japanese dancers and presented "Handsome Blue Sky" in "JADE2003 Hijikata Memorial" which brought considerable applause in Japan. In 2004, this unit presented a new series titled "Experimental Body" which is to search the "edge" in a physical way. His choreography as well as his solo performance keeps his impregnable position as one of the most reputed representatives of Butoh, and he tirelessly challenges to reach new possibility.
His latest solo performance is called "quick silver" and latest duo performance with Bartabas is called "Le Centaure et l'animal". Those acclaimed pieces are leading him to a world tour, giving the audience much impression of a new era.
