Since 2007, Sport Clips has helped U.S. service members connect with their loved ones through our Help A Hero program, benefitting the Veterans of Foreign Wars' Operation Uplink™ Free Call Days. Through company and client donations, almost 2 million dollars have been contributed to the program and more than 2 million calls have been made possible - and counting! To see the 2014 Operation Uplink schedule, click here.
In 2013, Sport Clips was proud to partner with the VFW to expand Help A Hero's focus with the addition of the VFW's "Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship" program. Through the assistance these scholarships provide, active-duty U.S. service members and veterans are able to pursue the education and training they need to begin the next chapter of their lives.
In the fall of 2013, Sport Clips locations nationwide collected donations to help provide scholarships, of up to $5,000, to our nation's heroes. Through the support of Help A Hero by our stores, Clients, and others across the nation, Sport Clips was able to raise $500,000! To see a list of our 2014 spring semester recipients, click here.
As veterans return home, they face numerous obstacles as they transition back into civilian life, including finding a career. By providing scholarships for use at post-secondary schools, including trade schools, our goal is to make this transition a little easier.

Is there such a thing as a good zombie book?
I need a good zombie novel to exist. I need it. My soul needs it. I've been pouring over goodreads trying to find some possibilities and it seems like the market is so niche there are very few good authors bothering. I get the impression that "allowances" need to be made to enjoy them. Such as putting up with shallow characters and bad prose. But there simply has to be a good classic zombie story out there: zombies rise up, civilization falls, and people try to survive.
Mira Grant's series seems to be the only consistently praised series (or even stand alone), but it also sounds like it's not the standard zombie story. I do have Feed in my TBR and I'll read it soon, but I'm really looking for the one, the zombie book that clearly stands atop the rest . . . or even just the zombie book that is actually a good book, and not just a good book for a zombie book.
Any ideas?
November 9th, 2012, 12:22 AM #2
There is no such book, but you are lucky. We will provide you with one, one paragraph at a time.
Nevermind, I was going to start the first paragraph but it was a copy of a zombie movie.
I would stick to movies, Zombie books are terrible as far as I know.
November 9th, 2012, 01:20 AM #3
Pretty sure there's another fairly recent thread like this, but yes there is (and I'm generally not a zombie fan).
As you mentioned, Mira Grant's books are good, but another I would strongly recommend (that surprisingly isn't mentioned much on this forum) is Daryl Gregory's Raising Stony Mayhall - check out the reviews.

If you want to give a try to zombies in space, I thought the way they were depicted in the first Expanse book by James S A Corey - Leviathan Rising - was impressive.

I will say that if all else fails, fall back on the AMC TV series, The Walking Dead is extraordinary. They find ways to push all of my buttons from terror to horror to revulsion (tie into another thread) while telling a very human story of survival after the apocalypse.

This Dark Earth by John Horner Jacobs. This is easily the best zombie book I've read.

I'll have to check that one out. His first novel, Southern Gods, was okay but didn't excite me. (There were zombies in it, too, but it wasn't really a zombie novel.)
Randy M.
November 9th, 2012, 02:49 PM #9
Love the walking dead, but I wouldn't want to be an actor on it, it's short term employment if you know what I'm saying
November 9th, 2012, 02:54 PM #10
I was curious about Southern Gods after reading This Dark Earth, but that's a little disappointing.
Each chapter in TDE takes a new character's perspective, but they all end up being interrelated somehow. Things devolve quickly and humanity ends up being the real bad guy.
I also don't mean to insinuate that I've read a whole bunch of zombie books, I've only read a few, but TDE's the best of those.
November 9th, 2012, 03:54 PM #11
Since we don't really know what feeds your soul, this is simply another crapshoot. Try World War Z by Max Brooks and Zone One by Colson Whitehead. See if either of those takes and if they do, come back and we'll give you some more. If they aren't visceral enough for what you want, we can head you in a different direction.
November 9th, 2012, 04:52 PM #12
While I liked Alden Bell's The Reapers Are the Angels, I don't think its 'the One' you're looking for. In fact, I'm not aware of any such creature.
Which leads me to The Passage. I realize that Cronin's series is nominally about vampires, but the spreading of the hordes and its consequent near-apocalypse reads rather more like a classic zombie tale. I'd be interested in hearing what you think of it, assuming you haven't read it already, of course.

I actually felt the exact same way so passionately that I finally just gave up on waiting and decided to try to write a book myself. I have always considered myself somewhat of a zombie aficionado. Books, comic books, movies, video games; I grew up a huge fan of horror. I always had the same problem with every new story I got a hold of though. Zombie stories often have unrealistic heroes or villains. Sometimes they take strange turns and start going way out in left field. No one ever takes the time to explain why zombies started walking around, or how they are able to accomplish such a feat. A barrel of top secret chemical falling off of a truck, or the strange patient zero from nowhere that infects the world was just not cutting it any more.
One day I just decided that I had read my last zombie book that begins after the zombie apocalypse for a while. I want to know what happened during the first thirty days or even the first five years. I don't want to read another book where everything is just fine and then like the snap of a finger thousands of zombies just magically appear around the corner. I want some explanation. I waited and waited, but no one ever wrote a zombie story the way I thought it should be told. So.
I started doing research on medical conditions, military history, weaponry and survival. About a year later, Atrum Terra: Dark Lands was finished. It is a zombie book that is about as real as it gets. This is a book that you can put down and think, something like this could really happen. It is written through the eyes of average people, with real emotion and real situations. It explains exactly what the zombie virus is, how it comes about, and who is responsible for it. This is not just another zombie book. This is more of a book about a world war, a final world war in which a zombie like condition plays a part. This is the zombie story I always wanted someone to tell.

Here's one opinion: World War Z was readable, but not great. It was disjointed, highly implausible, and the action was told in a past tense, detached way that sucked the tension out of it. Zone One was great writing with no plot and a very very slow pace. I've also read Dust by Joan Turner and it was very original, but bizarre and with surprsingly little action. I'm also still looking. Maybe you should try the Walking Dead comic book? The show is excellent.
November 10th, 2012, 01:59 PM #15
Just a note, World War Z was deliberately structured as an academic oral history social science overview that is done in a journo-academic style in part to be satirical. This is why my husband and his social scientist pals love it and they recount that the zombie virus spread patterns and social science analysis in it are very on target on realism. Also, parts of it are scary or very sad. But that's not necessarily what the OP is after. Which is why I said check those out and then see if that's the direction you want. Zombies can go anywhere -- they can be the hordes or the protagonist, conscious or mindless, they can be in a secondary world or the future or on Mars, spread by virus or spell or alien tech. They can be in grim, nihilistic stories like Walking Dead or comic-horror ones like Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland, and the amount of action varies widely. I would say that the Cherie Priest Clockwork Century series might be one that might work for the OP. But it may not be zombie enough, and it's steampunk alt history.

The training discusses the importance and ADA requirements of accessibility in health services.
The Citizen-Centered Leadership Development Community of Practice series is a unique combination of self-paced distance learning study, robust field work, interactive class assignments and live webcast instruction designed to advance theoretic and skill-based learning leading to quality outcomes in the lives of people with disabilities.
The Conference Board's September Book Discussion FREE webcast will feature Susanne M. Bruyère, Ph.D., CRC, Director of the Employment and Disability Institute and Associate Dean of Outreach at the Cornell University ILR (Industrial and Labor Relations) School, and co-author Linda Barrington, Ph.D., Executive Director of Cornell's Institute for Compensation Studies, as they discuss their latest book, Employment and Work – Disability Key Issues and Future Directions.
Speaker: Nancy Horton, Information Specialist, Mid-Atlantic ADA Center
The 2010 Standards for Accessible Design define requirements for accessible buildings and facilities, and include many specific provisions for hotels. Although ADA requirements have been in effect for several years, the new 2010 Standards include some significant changes, and there is a great deal to know to fully understand these requirements. This session will provide an overview of the new requirements that are important for the lodging industry, including requirements for swimming pools and other recreational facilities. Accessibility survey tools and other resources will be shared. There will be ample time for questions and answers. This session will be submitted for AIA credit.

Great Quality, Great Value [...]
By A'llureInteriorDesign
from Andover, Kansas
I choose Steve's and this product time and time again. As an Interior Designer I believe in using these blinds in most applications for they are just beautiful. I have bought hundreds of them over the years and they continue to improve every aspect of the design. I do recommend hiring a professional to install them, there are no instructions or descriptions of the parts included in the hardware for mounting. To comment about the "Heavy to Lift and Lower", the larger the window the heavier the blind (obviously), so just support the bottom rail upon lifting and lowering.

Steves is the Greatest
By Bill the Blind Installer
from Whitemore Lake, MI
I find the convenience of buying blinds for my customers on-line to be incredible. I have bought blinds from all of the on-line stores and Steves blows them all away not only in price [...]. Buying blinds on line is so much easier than going to the site. It saves me so much time. [...] I usually buy whatever brand the customer wants. If they do not have a particular brand in mind I always direct them to Steves Exclusive Collection because the quality is the best and the price is always the lowest.

By Beanie
from Julesburg, CO
[...] One negative: there were no installation instructions with any of the blind orders. I had to ask for instructions after receiving the first order, and just used the same instructions for the second shipment. I accidentally ordered a cream color instead of white, but it looks fantastic with my household colors. White would not have been as complementary.

really like the blinds. Hung them in my kitchen window. Enjoy the privacy whenever I need to shut them. Easy to clean. Easy to open and close. Just great.
Nice Blind! Quality at a great price.
By God&Guns
from Central PA
I installed these blinds in my bathrooms due to tolerance of moisture over the wood blinds which I installed on the rest of my windows. I was amazed at how closely they matched the real wood. I couldn't have asked for more durability after being in place for 6 months. No issues. I predict they will last several years with no problems.
I would buy this product again
By Cathy
from Jesup,IA
I love these blinds! It's exactly what I wanted. They're of good quality and easy to install. I did it myself w/o my husbands help:) I was a little nervous that I would not measure my windows correctly but they tell you how to do it and that was very helpful. They fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend Steve's blinds for your next blinds.

I purchased these blinds to complete a theme in my sons bedroom. They did the job beautifully! They matched the decor, they block the light, they control the heat of the sun, they provided privacy, and they look great! When I am ready to remodel my other rooms I will be coming back to order again.

Nice quality for the price
By SF
from ME
Great blindes for the price. Didn't come with instrutions, so the first blindes I bought we guessed on the installation process. I did shop again and buy again, this time for one rail 78" blindes. I wouldn't recommend getting just one blind at this length. Seems like too much weight for the pull strings to raise the blindes. The wand takes some good strength and dexderity to turn large blindes too.[...]

from Congress, AZ.
I bought a total of 9 blinds over 3 purchases. Measurements were smack on. Installation easy. People liked them so well that I know of 3 other sales to you. Do you provide a bonus? We live in the AZ. desert and the sun is hot & bright here. After 1 year, especially on the west side there is no fading. Happy, happy, happy. I have a friend who had owned a blind store in the past and he is considering ordering a full home blind set from you.

2" blind

Quite nice
By SpongeBobSquarePants
from Fort Worth, TX
Very functional, good looking. Because of their size and resulting weight, they were a little difficult for a one person installation. When they arrived, a couple of the blinds had a bent tilting wand. One eventually straightened, but another is still bent, and somewhat unattractive. It appeared to be a packing issue at the manufacturer's site. Overall, though, a good blind.
Exactly what I was looking for.
By Kiz550
from Anchorage, Alaska
I purchased 14 of these blinds because I wanted my house to look unified from the outside. They were relatively easy to install and look beautiful in my windows. The subtle wood grain makes them look much richer than other blinds I considered buying. The first ones I purchased have now been in place for 8 years with no mechanical problems. Several of the slats on the southern facing windows have yellowed a bit from excessive Alaskan summer sun exposure, but every other window covering I've used on those windows has yellowed also. Some of the opening/closing wands have come loose, but glue was a quick fix. I would definitely purchase this product again [...]

Some manufacturers charge an oversized freight charge per order (regardless of the number of blinds) on extra wide blinds because they must use a special delivery company. The width when oversized freight charges apply varies depending on the manufacturer (usually it is around 95 inches or wider) and the charge may be up to $75 per manufacturer per order. M & B and Levolor do not charge oversized freight. Shutters have a freight charge due to the weight of the product. Most blind orders ship within 3 to 5 business days. We do ship to Canada and all other countries. Please call us or send e-mail for applicable charges. Our manufacturers impose a handling fee per order depending on the type of product and order amount that is purchased. For Blind orders, the handling fee is $4.95 per order.

In 1990 my mother, my brother, and I compiled, edited, and published several of my maternal grandmother's essays. Most were autobiographical — "My Childhood," "My Marriage and Family," and the like — but two were about others. One was "Our Other Grandma," a tribute to her husband's mother, whom she refused to call her mother-in-law, because she didn't like all the critical jokes about mothers-in-law. The other essay she entitled, "Sheepherders I Have Known."
The resulting short volume (about three dozen letter-size pages) was not a sterling example of the publisher's art. I printed 15 or 20 copies on my dot matrix printer, then had them bound at a local copy center. There were no illustrations or photographs, not even a sample image or two of the handwritten originals. But it was an instant and enduring hit among its small audience.
This summer I decided to reissue the collection. My mother passed away several years ago, and my brother was busy getting married, so I did it myself. It occupied two or three evenings plus a full, long, 20-hour day off work, but it was ready in time for our annual reunion in early August.
I couldn't find the old word processor file, so I used my scanner and the OCR software which came with it. The output text didn't need much cleanup. I added some old photos, a name index, and a place index. I improved the front cover and the formatting generally. Then I printed about a dozen copies on my laser printer and hauled them to the nearest "big box" office supply store and copy center.
I wanted a Velo binding, as we'd used before. It looks better and is far more durable than . . . anything they actually do at that copy center, as it turned out. They sent me to the local Kinko's (officially, FedEx Office store), telling me it was the only place in town that could do that kind of binding for me. So I went; it was only about 200 yards away.
Aha! They could do it. But alas! They'd have to send it offsite, because they don't actually do it here in American Fork. Where? I asked. To Orem, they said. So I thanked them and took it to Orem myself, since it's on my way to work. By the end of the day, the job was done, and I was pleased with the results: a good-looking binding and a durable, frosted plastic cover, front and back. Between the binding costs and my printing costs, each book cost me about $9.00.
Making money was never our object with this publication; we have just wanted to put it into the hands of lots of family members, in the hope that they will read it.
As I was planning the second edition, I realized that I now have at my disposal three relatively new ways to distribute a document inexpensively. I decided to use them all.
A PDF file of the entire document is about half a megabyte, so it is easily e-mailed. Almost anyone with a personal computer or smart phone can read a PDF file, and the original appearance is faithfully preserved. So I announced to the family that I'll send the PDF file free of charge, upon request.
That might have been enough, but I made bigger plans. I published the book electronically at Amazon.com for Kindle and the various free Kindle apps, and at BarnesAndNoble.com for Nook and the free Nook apps. I wasn't happy with the automatic conversions, especially from HTML, but the conversions from Microsoft Word produced a tolerably good reading experience. One of these first months I'll have to figure out their raw format, so I can exert more control over the appearance and positioning of images (photos), among other things. In the meantime, it will do.
I set a minimal price for the book at both sites: $0.99. That's a lot cheaper than printing hard copies, and within the budget of any family member who can afford a Kindle, Nook, or smart phone, I think.
It's an experiment. I don't expect the e-books to catch on like wildfire (a painful simile this summer in the American West), but I'm curious to see how they do in the long term. So far, there have been four purchases in all, and one was mine. Twenty sales in the next year or two would delight but not surprise me.
If there's enough interest among the family, I'll be happy to publish some other good documents in future years. I haven't heard of anyone else publishing for small family audiences on Kindle and Nook, and I don't see very many genealogical works that are available as e-books. But if it catches on among my family, it will be an economical means of getting ancestors' histories into their descendants' hands and, one may hope, into their minds and hearts.
In case you're curious about such things, I pledged to pass on the minimal royalties to the annual reunion fund.
FIVE (An Unadvertised Bonus)
My more knowledgeable colleague at MyHeritage, Mark Olsen, learned of my efforts and pointed out another local opportunity. It may exist in some form local to you, too.
At nearby Brigham Young University, the campus bookstore has a custom publishing service which can turn out relatively affordable soft-bound books very quickly, and pricier hardbacks less quickly. They estimated the cost of producing additional soft-bound copies of my grandmother's essays about about $7.50 per volume. That's roughly the same amount I paid elsewhere, but in this case for something that looks a lot like a real book.
Sometime soon I'll give them a try. All they need is a pair of PDF files: one with the cover, and the other with the rest of the book.
Meanwhile, I'd be interested in hearing how readers are publishing family history documents these days.
As I've said before, as important as the names, dates, and places are, the history is by far my favorite part of family history.

Units: 4
The Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic (SLTPPC) provides students with real-world experience and an opportunity to help develop sound public policy rules at the increasingly complex intersection of law and technology. In the Clinic, which operates much like a practice group in a law firm, students learn about both the theory and the practice of lawyering, the intricacies of government institutions and the policy-making process, and how to work with complex technological concepts, even when one has little or no background on the topic.
Through their Clinic work, students also often provide representation to individuals, nonprofits and consumer groups that could not otherwise obtain counsel. Although the Clinic's docket varies per semester, typical clinic projects include filing friend-of-the-court briefs, commenting on proposed legislation and regulations, and providing legal counseling in matters that raise important issues relating to law and technology. The Clinic represents public interests in a wide variety of subject matter areas, including privacy, intellectual property, consumer protection, and communications regulation.
Because this course allows students to practice law with real clients under the supervision of clinical faculty, its workload is structured differently than most classes. Students are expected to work on their projects every week for an average of 16-20 hours per week. Please note that this is an average. Due to the real-world nature of the projects, some weeks may require more time, in some cases significantly more time. As with all real-world legal jobs, clinic projects can be unpredictable from day to day and week to week; they require flexibility, so please plan for this. First-time SLTPPC Students are required to register for the companion Samuelson Clinic Seminar, which is an additional two-unit course, requiring 2-4 additional hours of work per week.
In recognition of the responsibility real-world legal work entails, students are also expected to make the clinic their main priority for the semester. In recognition of this workload, there is no final for this course.
Course enrollment is by application. Please check the Clinic application page to apply: http://www.law.berkeley.edu/php-programs/forms/clinics/clinical_application.php
Applications for Spring 2013 will be available in October 2012. Please reach out to any of the instructors with questions about the application process or the Clinic.

Using widget.preferences in Nokia Asha Web Apps
This article explains how to store data using widget.preferences in Series 40 Web Apps
Series 40
Widget preference allows developer to store data in key-value pairs. Series 40 Web App environment preserves stored data, and makes it available when Web App is started. Data stored into widget storage area is unique for Web App instance, i.e. preferences cannot be used to share data between two Web Apps.
How to use
Declaring preference
Preference key must always be declared in config.xml file, in Series 40 Web Apps, prior to use. Failing to do so does not cause immediate error, but values stored are not preserved and lost when Web App is re-started.
Declaring preference in config.xml:
<preference name="apikey"
readonly is an optional argument, thus can be omitted. If preference has read-only flag, scripts cannot change its value nor delete it.
Accessing preferences
Once preferences are declared you can use setItem() and getItem() or bracket access to modify stored values. Please note that in current Web tools (v 1.5), only bracket access is supported in local simulator preview. There is a size limit for stored preference. Stored string should not be longer than 256 characters, same applies for the key.
//set value
widget.preferences["key"] ="value";
//get value, returns "undefined" if there is no match for the key
var value = widget.preferences["key"];
If you don't need to use local simulator preview, setItem() and getItem() can be used to access stored preferences, as defined in Storage interface [1]. Please note that NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR exception is not thrown in series 40 Web Apps, when trying to modify readonly preference.
//set value
//get value, returns "null" if there is no match for the key
Advanced usage
Among setItem and getItem, Storage interface offers following methods and attributes.
- length
- Total number of key/value pairs
- key(n)
- Returns name of the n:th key in the list
- removeItem("key")
- Removes key/value pair.
- clear()
- Removes all stored key/value pairs.
Note that in Series 40 Web Apps, removeItem(key) and clear() removes preferences event they would be defined as readonly.
//total number of stored items
var count = widget.preferences.length;
//key string for first item in the list.
//Note that order can change when new key/value pairs are added
var keyString = widget.preferences.key(0);
//Removes item, with "key" from preferences
//Clears ALL stored preferences.
- Web App preferences are not stored correctly after deployment to device
- In some cases short URL deployment causes problems in Series 40 Web Apps version 1.5. Please use Bluetooth deployment when possible.
- Preferences are lost after reloading the web app
- Make sure that you have declared preference in th config.xml
- Make sure that key and value are under 256 character limit.
- Preferences does not work in local simulator preview Series 40 Web Apps version 1.5
- Use bracket access widget.preferences["key"] instead of getItem() /setItem() syntax.

Revision as of 05:15, 19 October 2012
This article explains how to debug data binding issues by inspecting the elements before they are due to be displayed by the control.
Windows Phone 8
Windows Phone 7.5
Data binding allows you to link a data source defined in code to a UI description in XAML (target). While defining a binding is quite straightforward, if something goes wrong it is useful to be able to tell whether the problem is in your source data or in the binding definition.
The easiest way to do this is to create a custom value converter (IValueConverter), which will be called when the data from the binding source arrives - before it gets delivered to the control. By setting a breakpoint in the converter you can confirm that the source is sending the expected data and contains the correct properties.
Tip: If the converter doesn't get called then this is a sign that the binding has failed earlier than expected, perhaps in the definition of the source property or an incorrect DataContext. If a wrong property name in the binding declaration is given a message in the debug output window of VS appears.
Worked example
First, consider the case where you have a ListBox definition in XAML as shown below:
<ListBox x:Name="MainListBox" Margin="0,0,-12,0" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" SelectionChanged="MainListBox_SelectionChanged">
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,17" Width="432" Height="78">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LineOne}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LineTwo}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="12,-6,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>
To implement the converter you first have to derive a class from IValueConverter and implement it's methods:
public class DatabindingDebugConverter : IValueConverter
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
return value;
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
return value;
Then you have to declare the converter as a static resource in your page's XAML:
<local:DataBindingDebugConverter x:Key="DatabindingDebugConverter"/>
You also have to change the XAML data binding statement to call the converter for a particular binding:
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LineOne, Converter={StaticResource DataBindingDebugConverter}}"
TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}"/>
Note that this assumes you have declared the local namespace in the page tag:
Next you set a breakpoint in the Convert() method and voilà, you can see the values that arrive from binding, if any.
Sample code
The sample code for the How to encrypt your application data in Windows Phone article uses this technique. Or you can load the source code directly from here.

text: Article | McKinsey Quarterly | 2010 Creating Value in the Age of Distributed Capitalism Shoshana Zuboff Capitalism is a book of many chapters—and we are beginning a new one. Every century or so, fundamental changes in the nature of consumption create new demand patterns that existing enterprises can't meet. When a majority of people want things that remain priced at a premium under the old institutional regime—a condition I call the "premium puzzle"—the ground becomes extremely fertile for wholly new classes of competitors that can fulfill the new demands at an affordable price. A premium puzzle existed in the auto industry before Henry Ford and the Model T and in the music industry before Steve Jobs and the iPod. The consumption shift in Ford's time was from the elite to the masses; today, we are moving from an era of mass consumption to one focused on the individual. Sharp increases in higher education, standards of living, social complexity, and longevity over the past century gave rise to a new desire for individual self-determination: having control over what matters, having one's voice heard, and having social connections on one's own terms. The leading edge of consumption is now moving from products and services to tools and relationships enabled by interactive technologies.

Lots of water in the creek too which would be good in Summer -- not sure we will be taking a dip at Easter though.
The lady at the office was really friendly and helpful which was always good for a first impression. When we got there she was helping a couple whose pup had a paralysis tick. Apparently these are quite common there from what we hear so will have to keep an eye on the kids and do a bit of educating on ticks.
Interested to know if anyone else has been to Neurum Creek at Easter and whats it like. Have heard they organise different activities too which sounds pretty good.
also thought the prices weren't too bad - cheaper then Goomburra where we went last Easter -- though the site fee and the price for dogs are a bit $$$

Hampshire's tasty ingredients for 56,000 healthy school meals a day
Thursday, 17 April 2014
Primary school children in Hampshire will be going to class on 'Italian tomato pasta' and 'Spanish chicken' when they return to school for Summer, with local produce such as beef meatballs from Overton and eggs from the New Forest also on the menu.
Served up with vegetables, many of which have been sourced from local south coast growers, it's the perfect choice for healthy, tasty meals to see them through the school day. And with the County Council freezing the price of a hot, two-course meal at £2 for the sixth year in a row, families are getting good value too.
HC3S, the Council's catering service, continues to keep to the Hyperactive Children's Support Group's recommendations to remove over 70 additives and colourings that could affect children's behaviour.
School dinners are currently enjoyed by more than 40,000 primary school children each day in Hampshire, with pupil take-up increasing to 42 per cent across all primary school years resulting in eight million meals being served during the current school year so far.
From September, all children in their first three years of school will be entitled to free school meals thanks to the Government's introduction of the universal free school meal offer. This is expected to increase the number of meals served by more than 20,000 a day across Hampshire.
Currently, more than 80 per cent of schools have their own kitchen, and where they don't hot meals are delivered from a nearby facility. The County Council has a planned investment programme to support schools to accommodate an increase in the provision of school meals, to ensure that every child who is entitled to will be able to have a hot school meal.
This investment is part of the Council's Capital Budget of £237 million and involves an extensive six month programme of necessary works to upgrade schools' facilities.
Councillor Keith Mans, Executive Lead Member for Children's Services at Hampshire County Council, said: "The school meals service provides nutritious meals, working closely with schools, pupils and parents to create varied menus that are healthy and tasty. It also plays an important role in the development of healthy eating habits among children, which can be key to preventing problems such as obesity. There is work to do to ensure schools can support the provision of school meals as uptake increases. We have a job to do and we intend to do it well which is why we have planned an investment of £6.2 million to upgrade school capacity ready for September. There is strong evidence of the benefits to children of eating healthily during the school day and we are pleased to play our part to ensure that in Hampshire it will be done well and cost effectively."
For any parent or carer who believes their child is entitled to free school meals, we have an online service to allow parents to check their eligibility for free school meals. Parents can enter their details and those of their child to get an immediate result and, if eligible, this information will go direct to their child's school to inform them of the entitlement.
