Diego loves flora too. Just gather a few simple-to-find materials together and start your own family plant garden and decorate with some Diego figurines.
Watch Diego only on Nick Jr.
Clean the container thoroughly using hot, soapy water.
Place 1 to 2 inches of small rocks or stones on the bottom of the container.
Add 1/2 to 1 inch of fine charcoal.
Cover the charcoal with 2 to 3 inches of potting soil. Don't pack the soil and leave some holes for roots. Add some elevation by making one side of the soil level higher than the other. This way your child can watch the plants' root systems grow underground.
Remove the plants from their pots and lightly break up the roots. Place each plant in a small hole and cover it with soil. For best viewing results, place the tall plants toward the back of the container.
Give the soil a light sprinkling with water, but don't soak it.
Create a fun scene inside with Diego figurines. To make the figurines, print the Diego Terrarium Figurine Printables on shrink plastic, such as Shrinky Dinks, and help kids cut out the figures. Follow the instructions on the shrink plastic package to shrink the image cut-outs in the oven (about 5 minutes). Remove from the oven and let cool.
Place the lid on top, or cover the opening tightly with plastic wrap.
Depending on the desired light level of your plants, set the terrarium in an appropriately lit window.
Add more water to the terrarium as it becomes dry. If there is constant water on the inside of the container, or mold growing, then water less frequently.

Our work to build healthy communities, families and individuals is at the heart of Mercy Corps' vision for social change. By partnering with a range of partners, from village health committees to government agencies, we help build the means to improve maternal, newborn and child health, ensure proper nutrition and combat infectious diseases.
All stories about Health
Indonesia: Unbreakable
Haiti: Using art as a vehicle to help Haiti
Pakistan: Health clinics on wheels
I met 25-year-old Sahiba and her two-year-old son Rehan while they were waiting patiently to see a doctor at one of Mercy Corps mobile health clinics in Sindh province. Rehan had a bad cough for several days, and his mother was alarmed.
Haiti: Haiti under red alert, Tomas likely to arrive as hurricane
Today Mercy Corps' Haiti team continued to help ready camps and communities for the arrival of a possible hurricane tonight. Now, along with the Haitian government and other aid agencies, Mercy Corps is responding to three emergencies: earthquake, cholera and storm.
Pakistan: The chronicles of "Chlorine Baba"
Munawar Abbass is serious about water. Munawar is a Mercy Corps water coordinator, and he supervises a compact but complex water-processing plant that is keeping 8,000 flood survivors alive. He's been at it for more than three months, first in the Swat Valley and now in Sindh Province.
Haiti: Tropical Storm Tomas headed toward Haiti
Mercy Corps' water and sanitation team is out in Port-au-Prince camps today with two messages: how to prevent the spread of cholera, and how to prepare for tropical storm Tomas, which is currently headed toward Haiti and may strengthen into a hurricane at the end of the week.
West Bank and Gaza: Advocating for adoption of key psychosocial guidelines in Gaza
Haiti: Getting the word out on cholera
For the last two days I've been out with Mercy Corps' Haiti team, which has been visiting communities in both Port-au-Prince and the Center Department to ensure they have the information they need about cholera: how to prevent it and treat it.
Ethiopia: Water, health, safety and extra time
In many parts of Ethiopia, water — or the lack thereof — is a matter of life or death. Birtukan Bulki knows this better than most.
Tajikistan: In Central Asia's hidden treasure
As a Desk Officer going on a field visit for the very first time, I could not have asked for a better place to visit than Tajikistan. I've come to think of it as a lost and/or hidden treasure in the middle of Central Asia.

Selected: Cradle of Lipizzaners opened museum of a Lipizzaner story
In May, the Lipica Stud Farm, the cradle of all Lipizzan horses in the world, became richer for the Lipikum Lipizzaner Museum. The museum is located in one of the buildings of the old Lipica centre and it will run as a new centre of cultural and tourist offer of Lipica, where the visitors will be given a completely new experience of the story of a horse, Lipica, and Lipizzaner.
Visitors will through modern museological resources learn about the history, behavior, and life of the horse, development and growth of the Lipizzaner breed, and the history of the stud farm, which is considered one of the most beautiful cultural and historical monuments of Slovenia today, with its history dating back to 1580.
The museum was arranged on more than 300 m2 in an old building within the historic building centre of the stud farm. Dramaturgically accomplished museum story is divided into eleven thematic areas and three main themes through which the visitor can learn everything about the farm and the Lipizzan horse. The museum is arranged in three rooms that follow the color symbolism of the life cycle of the Lipizzaner – the story takes the visitor from the dark, almost black, through brown to completely white.
In the first, introductory part, the visitor will meet with the story of the origin and nature of the horse as a species and a close relationship with humans, which is reflected through the depictions of the horse in mythology and art from prehistoric times onwards. The central part is intended for the presentation of a story about the establishment of the Lipica Stud Farm, its highs and lows over the hundred-year history to the present day. Here, the facts about the origin of the Lipizzaner are explained, and the daily life of the horses in Lipica and in the Lipica horse-riding school are presented. A special attraction of this part is a model of a life-size horse, which can be tested to experience the feeling of sitting on horseback. Through the rich interpretative central space, the visitors will be lead to the last, white space in which the modern museum layout will lead them through the habitats of the Lipizzaner.
With an opening ceremony of the Lipikum, the Lipizzaner Museum, the project of the Lipica Museum, which was started in 2005 and was realised by the financial support of the Norwegian Financial Mechanism, the EEA Financial Mechanism and the Ministry of Culture, was completed. However, the activities associated with its implementation are not yet finished. In the framework of the project, there have been expert reports prepared in Lipica for the renewal of guided tours, as well as marker boards with which the visitors were enabled a more independent tour and familiarisation with Lipica − not only with its building centre, but also with the wider Lipica estate with all the attractions that have been created over the centuries of systematic use of space.

RYAN VREDE, in Dublin, reports Pat Lambie wants to challenge the perception that he is primarily a running flyhalf who will be asked to venture out of his comfort zone tactically with the Springboks.
That perception still lingers, even though those who've watched Lambie closely in Super Rugby and more recently in three Currie Cup games will attest to a significantly more rounded player tactically.
Certainly his strength lies in attacking (and often breaching) the gainline or setting his outside backs away, but Lambie's game management has soared to new heights, and he has now established himself as a flyhalf equally adept at playing for field position as he is with ball in hand.
The 22-year-old rarely gives insight into his true feelings on, well, anything. He is expertly drilled in the science of saying a lot without actually saying anything, but the frustration at this ongoing perception around his tactical capacity was obvious.
'Some people are under the wrong impression about the way I want to play,' he began. 'I don't just want to run everything, I'll play to space and if that space is behind [the defensive line] I'll kick it. The coach has spoken to me and made it clear what he expects [tactically], so hopefully I can meet those expectations.
'My tactical game is something I've been working on. In the Springboks' squad there's a lot of focus on tactical kicking and I've learned a lot this year in terms of tactical awareness – when to 'play' and when to kick. I definitely feel like I've grown as a player.'
Lambie will also be tasked with the goal-kicking responsibilities. He kicked superbly in the Currie Cup semi-final and final, banking 11 of 13 attempts, which bodes well for the Springboks in a facet of their play that has contributed significantly to their struggles this year. Indeed it was terminal against the All Blacks in Dunedin, where a victory would have had invaluable spin-offs confidence-wise and kept them in contention for the title.
The Springboks have used six different goal-kickers to date, and Lambie hopes he can ease the concerns around this area of their play. 'I've struck the ball alright in those three games I played for the Sharks and I'm feeling comfortable about it. Hopefully it goes alright on Saturday,' he said.
Meyer initially saw Lambie mostly as a fullback, but has been swayed by his form while steering the Sharks' ship in the No 10 shirt. Lambie, however, was non-committal when asked where he saw his Test future unfolding.
'I'm going to give it my best at flyhalf this weekend and I want to play well enough to make the position my own. If that's not at flyhalf it can be at fullback as well. At the moment I don't want to throw all my eggs in one basket. I'll take what comes,' he said.

(ABC News) -- First there was the Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff 90210. Now Boy Meets World is getting a reboot with Girl Meets World. Could a comeback for the cast of Saved by the Bell? be far behind?
Star Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played Zach Morris, thinks the door is open. He told TMZ last week that if Boy can do it, maybe we'll do a reunion as well.
A day later, Dennis Haskins, who played principal Mr. Belding, seconded the notion.
I have always supported a reunion of any kind, including all of us, Haskins told TMZ. Honestly, the fans still love us and our show so much; they deserve it!
Indeed, a whole generation of teens and tweens grew up on the escapades of Zach and his fellow Bayside students. Bell, which premiered Saturday mornings in the late '80s and wrapped in 1994, launched the careers of Gosselaar, Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley, Tiffani Thiessen, Lark Voorhies and Dustin Diamond.
While the show's squeaky-clean story lines were tame compared with today's teen hits like Gossip Girl, the real lives of the cast members became fodder for the tabloids and gossip magazines.
Diamond, now 36, went from class geek to porn star when a 2006 sex tape of him and two women in wedding garb was released. In 2009, he released the tell-all book Behind the Bell about sexual escapades, drug use and hardcore partying among cast members.
It's no surprise that Diamond is no longer close to the cast. When the stars reunited for a People magazine cover shoot shortly before his book's release, Diamond was noticeably absent. The others have reportedly stayed in close touch.
Here's the latest on Gosselaar, Diamond and the others:

"My heart sunk," Lengyel recalled before speaking to the Dixon Football Gridiron Club on Saturday night. "My first thought was, 'But for the grace of God there goes I as a football coach, my football team.'"
The crash would change lives forever, including Lengyel's own.
Lengyel, who is now 78 and living in
"I got thinking, 'Well, maybe I can help.' So I applied," Lengyel said. "I thought I was maybe the third choice, but I was probably their eighth or ninth choice."
Whatever's the case, Lengyel took the job and helped rebuild a program from, as he likes to say, "the ashes to the
For the most part, Lengyel liked the movie.
"Basically, it was true to form," he said, although
"Matthew took some liberties with my persona, but he's a great actor, and he did a good job and he's a good guy; little quirky, but a good guy. We get a Christmas card, my wife and I, every year from him."
These days Lengyel is retired from coaching and being an athletic director, but he travels around the country giving speeches — up to four a month — to various groups, including "a lot of corporations."
The focus, he said, is "strategic planning" for personal and professional success based on "core values." Lengyel tries to translate what happened at
"When we did the movie I started getting requests, 'Would you come talk to us?'" he said. "So I had to really think about what I wanted to do."
As Lengyel did when he took over the
There was also another problem. Lengyel was a coach who believed in a power running game, which simply wasn't in the playbook for the Thundering Herd.
"If we'd lined up in the T-formation, they (defenses) would have stunted and we would never have got the length of our nose," he said.
So he changed. Down the road, Bobby Bowden was running the wide-open, option-oriented Houston Veer at
Even then, however, Lengyel had a quarterback who was a drop-back passer who'd never run the option.
"He came down the line and he was like a deer in the headlights," Lengyel said. "He didn't know whether to give it or take it or duck."
Still, Lengyel put together a team that won two games, including its home opener on the final play of the game, 15-13 over Xavier on
After freshman Terry Gardner scored on a 13-yard pass on a play called "213 bootleg screen" for the game-winning touchdown, many in the estimated crowd of 13,000 poured onto the field to celebrate — just 10 months and 11 days after the tragic airplane crash.
"We get into the locker room and they throw everybody into the showers, including the priest," Lengyel said, adding that nearly two hours later when the team returned to the field the fans were still there. "People were crying and hugging because everybody had a teammate, a classmate, a friend, a neighbor on that plane.
"So it was a very emotional game, but it gave us hope."
As he looked back at that time, Lengyel said he thought he was rebuilding a football team, but there was much more to it. Few communities are linked so closely with their college football team as is
"Their heart beats as one," Lengyel said. "I've been at 15 different universities and never been to one where the community is like that. The town-gown relationship is like a fist."
So when he arrived he quickly discovered the airplane crash had implications far beyond the football team itself. In all, 70 children lost a parent, he said, and 18 lost both parents.
"So it took a wide swath out of the entire community," he said.
There were obviously trying times that first year, but there were difficult times in the next few years as well. As Lengyel and his staff bolstered their recruiting, new players supplanted many who had come onboard in the wake of the tragedy.
Some felt betrayed, telling Lengyel he wasn't giving them a chance and reminding him they were there "when you needed me." Lengyel tried his best to make the players understand, but it wasn't always easy, reminding them "football isn't spelled with an 'I,' it's spelled with team."
"Some bought into it, some quit," he said. "And that broke my heart."
Lengyel said some people ask him why he took such a difficult job. His reply is to cite a Chinese proverb, which he said goes like this: "If you're ever given anything of value, you have a moral obligation to pass it on to others."
"I was given a head coaching job at 29. So this was my chance to give back to football what it gave me," he said. "

What Is Type 2 Diabetes?
Go deep inside your body to see how type 2 diabetes happens, what it does to your body—and what you can do about it. Diabetes expert Dr. David Katz of the Yale Prevention Research Center talks about the frightening future of diabetes: in just a few decades, one third of all Americans may have diabetes. See the pancreas, where insulin is produced. Real imaging data reveals the body's inner anatomy slice by slice, from brain to base of spine. Dr. Cynthia Geyer of Canyon Ranch talks about how insulin resistance develops. View its results, as visceral abdominal fat builds up and chokes the vital organs. Discover the symptoms of type 2 diabetes and find out if you should be tested. See the complications of diabetes, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, vision damage, kidney disease, and gangrene. The good news? Diabetes is a highly manageable disease. Dr. Mark Liponis of Canyon Ranch talks about controlling your risk for type 2 diabetes and, by managing it, reversing its symptoms and literally slowing the aging process.
Go deep inside your body to see how type 2 diabetes happens, what it does to your body—and what you can do about it.
Blood Glucose and Baselining Your Health
Our bodies and brains run on glucose, a simple sugar produced by the digestion of carbohydrates. The body's ability to use glucose depends on the hormone insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. Blood sugar levels naturally rise after meals, but insulin from a healthy pancreas keeps these levels within a narrow range. In diabetes, however, this balance is disrupted because either the body loses its ability to respond to insulin or the pancreas loses its ability to produce insulin. Too much or too little glucose in the bloodstream can damage blood vessels in the kidneys and eyes, as well as nerve cells; acute disruptions of the insulin/glucose balance can be life threatening. Blood and urine tests can determine whether someone is diabetic or pre-diabetic. Diabetes is looming as a major public health concern; an estimated 25 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, with more than a quarter of them undiagnosed.
Type 2 Diabetes Testing
An estimated 79 million Americans, just over 25 percent of the population aged 20 years or older, have prediabetes. Prediabetes is a state where blood sugars may be a little bit elevated, but are not yet elevated to a dangerous range. It is typically asymptomatic, and if undiagnosed and untreated, prediabetes may lead to a potentially life-threatening condition called type 2 diabetes. Complications of type 2 diabetes include blindness, heart attack, and stroke. Prediabetes is readily detectable through simple blood testing with a goal of detecting abnormal glucose levels. Two common and complementary tests include fasting blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) tests. With early detection and diagnosis, appropriate and immediate action can be made by the patient to reduce complications and to ensure a long and healthy life.
Managing Diabetes
The first step in managing type 2 diabetes is accepting the fact that you have diabetes. Diabetics need to take an active role in managing their condition. Regular doctor visits are a must to check on blood pressure and cholesterol levels and to monitor eye health. Dr. Michael Stein of Brown University talks about stabilizing kidney function. Blood sugar levels need to be monitored using self-testing kits. According to Dr. Osama Hamdy of the Joslin Diabetes Center, the best treatments for type 2 diabetes are diet and exercise, not medications. Cynthia Geyer of Canyon Ranch explains how exercise enables tissues to take up glucose independent of insulin receptors. Eating small sensible meals helps to keep blood sugar levels and weight under control. Losing 7% of body weight can increase insulin sensitivity by 50%--that's equivalent to two diabetes medications at maximum dose. Dr. Mark Liponis of Canyon Ranch tells us the good news about diabetes: we have the ability to improve diabetes, and that isn't true of many conditions.

Insulin Receptor and Glucose Pump of Diabetic Person
Our bodies and brains run on glucose, a simple sugar produced by the digestion of carbohydrates. The body's ability to use glucose depends on the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas. Blood sugar levels naturally rise after meals, but insulin keeps these levels within a narrow range. In diabetes, however, the body loses its ability to respond to insulin or the pancreas loses its ability to produce insulin. Diabetics must maintain normal blood sugar levels through dietary control and insulin injection. Diabetes current affects 25 million Americans; complications include kidney failure, blindness, and amputation.
Glucose Test
Glucose Test and Insulin & Glucose : Blood glucose tests can be used to help diagnose diabetes and monitor hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Our bodies and brains run on glucose. Our ability to use glucose as a source of energy depends on the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas. Levels of insulin and glucose in the blood must be maintained in careful balance. Chronic conditions of too much or too little glucose in the bloodstream can damage the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels.

Down 2-0, Women's Volleyball Forces Fifth-Set; Comeback Falls Just Short as Limestone Survives with a 3-2 win in Conference Semis
November 13, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Playing for over two hours in a five-set thriller, Limestone College had to fight off a fierce comeback by Pfeiffer University in the fifth set to take a 3-2 (25-22, 25-21, 18-25, 20-25, 15-7) match win in womens volleyball action during the semifinals of the Conference Carolinas tournament on Friday night. In front of an electric crowd of over 500-plus, the Lady Saints used a six-point run in the fifth set, helping them improve to 21-14 overall, moving on to Sundays championship match at Lees-McRae. The Lady Falcons end their season at 21-12.
Coming out of an early timeout in the deciding set by Pfeiffer, a kill by the Lady Saints Danielle Seibert (Naperville, IL) started the six-point span that separated the visitors in the finale. With Seibert serving, a pair of Lady Falcon errors and a pair of kills by Melissa Thomas (Easley, SC) forced Pfeiffer to use their final timeout down 10-3. Lady Falcon senior Victoria Parrish (Henderson, NC) tried to bring the hosts back with a kill at 11-5, but two more kills by Chelsea Anthony (Pickens, SC) gave the Lady Saints a 15-7 set and 3-2 match win.
After Pfeiffers Jordan O'Bryant (Reidsville, NC) picked up the nights first kill of the match early at 2-1, Limestone would take the lead for good on a Lady Falcon attack error and a kill by Sam Johnson (Summerville, SC) just three plays later. Miscues continued to hurt the Lady Falcons halfway through the first set as seven errors in a 14-play span put Limestone up 20-13 forcing another Pfeiffer timeout. After the break, a kill by senior Brittany Dickens (Raleigh, NC) brought Pfeiffer to within six at 21-15, before four-straight Lady Saints errors advanced the contest to a tight 21-19 match. However, a pair of late kills by Limestones Holli Dawson (Beaufort, SC) would give the Lady Saints a 25-22 set one win.
Both teams hit an identical .182 in the second set as Limestone again pulled away late for a 2-0 match lead. Another four play stretch with four errors by Limestone that forced a timeout, Pfeiffer would then find themselves up 10-8 before Thomas delivered three-straight kills putting Limestone back up a pair at 13-11. In the late stages of set two, Abbie Ovbey (Mt. Gilead, NC) and Dickens traded kills with Thomas and Dawson of Limestone to keep things close, before two-straight aces by Courtney Taotoai (Norwalk, CA) gave the Lady Saints a two-set advantage.
Trailing 4-1 early in set three, Dickens and OBryant, along with the home crowd, brought the Lady Falcons back in the match, before taking a lead for good at 5-5 on a kill by Kristina Mordini (Freeport, IL). Ovbey, Mordini and Dickens each had three kills, coupled with six Limestone errors, that gave the Lady Falcons eventual life with a 25-18 set three win to force a fourth set.
Again down 4-1 to start, Pfeiffer rebounded quickly with a pair of Mordini kills that forced a Limestone timeout at 11-9 in favor of the hosts. Two more Pfeiffer errors tied the fourth set up at 15-all before back-to-back kills by Dickens and OBryant separated the Lady Falcons for good in set number four. OBryant finished off the fourth set with a pair of kills, including the clincher, for a 25-20 set win forcing the fifth and final set.
With over 730 plays in the five-set thriller, both teams combined for 370 attack attempts, 203 serves, over 180 digs and 25 blocks. Thomas led everyone offensively with 20 kills on the night being the only one for Limestone with double-digit kills. Pfeiffer had three in the double-digits as Dickens paced the Lady Falcons with 15, while OBryant and Ovbey each had 11. Gerig led the way with 43 assists on the night as Seibert had 21 for Limestone with Laura Kerrisons (Charleston, SC) had 17.

More cameras
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Following the lens recommendations for Nikon D7100 and entry-level D3200, we've now turned our attention to the new mid-range D5300. We've tested the camera with more than 140 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses have the best image quality when paired with the new camera.
Pentax's new owners have refreshed the brand's Limited lens range adding a rounded diaphragm opening and new HD coatings for improved rendering, transmission and lower ghosting and flare. Read on to find out how well this upgraded model performs.
We've now had the opportunity to assess the entry-level 24-Mpix Nikon D3200 with a wide range of lenses. We've analyzed a total of over 140 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality, and to discover which of those models perform best on the camera. Read on to find out the models you should be looking to use and which ones you should try to avoid.
The Nikon D5300 is the successor to the year old D5200 featuring a similar 24-Mpix CMOS sensor of it predecessor but lacking an optical low pass filter for improved clarity. Read on to find out how well the new camera performs.
Following the recommendations for Nikon D7100, we've had the opportunity to assess another of the firm's 24-Mpix DX format cameras – the mid-range D5200 - with over 120 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
This is the third part in the series of our lens recommendations for the Nikon D7100 where we've analyzed nearly 46 Nikon and third-party telephoto prime and zoom models to assess their optical quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses are the best performers when paired with Nikon's ultra-high resolution 24-Mpix APS-C format semi-pro model.
This is the second part of our lens recommendations for the Nikon D7100 where we've analyzed nearly 60 Nikkor and third-party standard and portrait prime and zoom models to assess their optical quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses are the best performers when paired with Nikon's ultra-high resolution 24-Mpix APS-C format semi-pro model.
This is part one of our lens recommendations for the Nikon D7100 where we've tested over 120 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses are perform best when paired with Nikon's 24M-Pix APS-C format semi-pro model.
Following on from the distinctive styling of the K-30, the new Pentax K-50 is a mid-range, sensitively priced DSLR featuring a tried-and-tested stabilized 16-MPix CMOS sensor with fine-tuned image processing and sensor sensitivity of up to ISO 51,200. Read on to see how well it performs in our labs.
After achieving an excellent reputation for its imaging characteristics, Sigma has revised this popular high-speed APS-C format standard lens, adding it to its high-performance Art line. Read on to see how well this new iteration performs in our labs.
Designed solely for APS-C format DSLRs the $499 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C (27-112mm equivalent) is the first of Sigma's Contemporary C-series zooms and the update to the popular 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro HSM. Read on to see how this Nikon mount version performed in our labs.
It seems that every passing month brings a new compact camera to the market, featuring a large sensor and the promise of higher image quality than its peers. However, while the sensor is often the star of the show, the lens is just as important and can make or break the performance of the camera. The Nikon Coolpix A is one of this new breed of large sensor compact cameras, and just a few years ago it would have seemed a most unlikely proposition. However, as technology has improved, costs have come down and it is now possible to fit large sensors in small cameras at a reasonable cost, but this does mean the lenses have to improve in tandem or they risk damaging the great work done by the sensor engineers.
Launched in March 2013 the $1097 Coolpix A is Nikon's first compact camera with an APC-S sensor and features the same 16.2-megapixel DX sensor from Nikon's D7000 DSLR but with its optical low-pass filter removed. Utilizing a fixed NIKKOR 18.5mm f/2.8 prime lens (equivalent to 28mm in 35mm terms) the Nikon Coolpix A has the right ingredients for great image quality so let's see how it performs.
Launched at the Focus on Imaging UK photographic show on 4th March 2013 the strap line "The palm sized maestro" introduces the new flagship Nikon compact - the Coolpix A. The first Coolpix camera to feature a large APS-C sensor the Coolpix A boasts a 16.2-megapixel resolution together with a fixed NIKKOR 18.5mm f/2.8 lens - equivalent to 28mm in 35mm terms. According to Nikon the Coolpix A has been developed in response to the demands of street photographers looking for a light, portable camera with great image quality. With a $1099.95 list price it could be quite a niche market however so let's see what the Coolpix A promises.
After the introduction of the entry-level 24Mpix D3200 early last year it seemed inevitable that the rest of the firm's APS-C (DX) range would be refreshed with the same sensor. While the gestation of the new 24Mpix D5200 has taken longer than most people could of reasonably predicted, the sensor is, in fact, a new design and the first from a different vendor for Nikon. We've recently put the new camera through our labs, read on to see how the new sensor performs.
Refreshed to include Canon's latest evolution in autofocus technology, the Stepper Motor, the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM offers ultra quiet continuous autofocus during video capture. With its predecessor the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS still available and for less money however, if you're not interested in video capture, which version of this lens should you go for and how does this latest model compare to the competition? Our Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM review has the answers for you.
A noise benchmark of 187 digital cameras by Peter van den Hamer
DxOMark Camera Sensor is a raw benchmark for camera bodies by DxO Labs. The benchmark is "raw" because it measures image quality using Raw output files. It is also raw as DxO's data can be used to cook up camera reviews that cover more aspects than image quality.
Announced in September 2012, the Sony NEX-6 creates a new range in the Sony line-up. It sits between the flagship Sony NEX-7 and the mid-range Sony NEX-5R offering features and performance benefits to beginner and advanced photographers alike. Providing a simplified user-interface than the NEX-7, the NEX-6 is none-the-less fully featured with a high-resolution OLED viewfinder, Full HD video recording and a tilt-adjustable screen for ease of use.
Pentax's new version of their very accomplished K-5 model manages to retain the top position in the Semi-Pro DSLR category against some very tough competition. Should we be disappointed that it fails to score higher than the K-5? Not really, the K-5 II incorporates a number of technology updates without damaging what was, in the K-5, a very good formula.
Announced at IFA 2012, Sony's NEX-5R is the third version of its very popular NEX-5 camera. This new model features a 16-megapixel APS-C EXMOR sensor composed of photosites that provide autofocusing by phase detection. Has Sony improved the image quality of its latest mid-range compact hybrid? Our tests reveal the answer.
By replacing two predecessors with the Canon EOS-1D X, its new flagship professional DSLR, Canon hopes to deliver both the top-notch image quality of the studio-oriented Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and the superfast performance of the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV sports shooter. A compromise of sorts between speed and image quality, the 1D X manages to deliver enough improvements to satisfy both markets.
Committed to retaining its sales lead in numerous countries, Canon views its new EOS 650D as a strategically important product. What improvements can we see with respect to its sensor, which Canon claims is new? How does this latest camera in the EOS line compare with its predecessor, the EOS 600D, and with its rivals, the Nikon D3200 and the Sony SLT-A65? The answers lie in our sensor test results for the 650D.
Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality.
The Nikon D4 spent only a few days in the top spot for DxOMark sensor results before being dethroned by the Nikon D800, which is a complete success in every sensor-related respect:
In the course of the past several weeks, both Canon and Nikon unveiled their professional digital reflex cameras for the next two years to come. With the D4, Nikon has updated a number of points in its pro camera body which cumulatively lead to an entirely new generation of SLR camera.
DxOMark continues its study of Nikon's vintage AF-D Nikkor series, this time focusing on the 35mm f/2.
Photographers enjoy shooting with this lens because of its versatility and its very light weight. Mounted on a full-frame camera, this wide-angle's field of view is the equivalent of a 53mm lens mounted on a Nikon APS-C (such as the D7000).
Not too long ago, people assumed that choosing a micro 4/3 camera was the same thing as choosing a more versatile compact camera. Then the happy owners would start thinking about getting a zoom lens for this small camera and discover that… the zooms were nowhere near as compact as their camera. What they ended up with was not as pocketable as they hoped, but unfortunately, there are scientific optical laws that can't be changed. The lenses tested here are good examples of just how compact lenses with large focal ranges can be.
Today Nikon announced the long-awaited D800 with a 36 MPix full-frame sensor. This new high-end DSLR has many promising aspects.
Ever since we tested the Sony SLT A77, we've been very curious to see how the soon-to-be released Sony NEX 7 would compare. And today we have the answer: as we expected, the absence of a mirror gives the NEX7 some advantages. Below is a detailed look.
The Tamron SP AF 60mm F/2 Di II is an affordable fast lens for macro photography fans. Even if the build quality isn't perfect, its image quality test results are quite satisfying for a lens at that price. Let's have a look at the details.
New results are available on dxomark.com for the Tamron SP 17-50mm F/2.8 Di II XR VC LD Aspherical IF lens (Nikon and Canon mounts). This new review, along with our recent review of the Sigma 17-50mm, completes a set of measurements for trans-standard luminous lenses.
This brand new all-purpose prime lens is great for general photography with a DX camera, especially if you want to take close shots from time to time. At $300, it can be a very good choice if it performs well.
When the Sony A77 was announced a couple of weeks ago as a replacement for the Sony Alpha 700, Sony's semi-professional APS-C camera, we were all very impressed by its specifications. So we were really excited to see how it would perform in our tests.
Here are our results.
Our camera lens database keeps growing and this time we are adding the Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 HSM. This wide-angle lens is available for Nikon and Canon cameras fitted with an APS-C sensor.
This lens offers an equivalent 12*24mm for 24*36 sensors.
In addition to the previously reviewed Sigma 12-24mm f4.5-5.6 EX DG Canon mount and Nikon mount, these new results will give us a clear overview on how Sigma scores on entry-level wide-angle lenses.
There are new additions to the DxOMark Samyang lens database with these two 14mm lenses.
The Nikon D5100 replaces the D5000 in Nikon's lineup; it finds its place right below the Nikon D7000, according to Nikon's marketing the D90 is still positioned between the D5100 and the D7000, however the spec sheet and the performances of the D5100 make this hard to believe.
This is because the D5100 shares the same Sony 16 megapixels sensor as the D7000. The major difference between the two bodies being the AF: 11 points with 3D tracking for the D5100 (presumably the "old" MultiCam 1000 already used on the D90) versus the 39 points with 3D tracking now used on the D7000.
We have the latest tests on the Nikon D5100 sensor.
High Tech in a Classic Package: The Hybrid Viewfinder
The X100 has been one of the most anticipated compact cameras. Although it looks like an old rangefinder, it is a very modern device. Its most obvious innovation is its hybrid viewfinder that combines both an optical viewfinder and an electronic one, projecting the information from the electronic viewfinder onto the optical one. And this really works!

You don't follow my Twitter, I lead yours.
I need a big jump shooter. I have a surplus of defensive players if anyone needs some help on d or on the boards. Oh yeah and CP3 is off the market. He is the only reason i stay in games.
Have to get use to all star. It feels alot slower... almost like rubberbanding and my guys are getting dominated on the boards. Do you have to manually box out for rebounds on all star?
onepointlikecp3 thanks for letting me join yalls league. this is my first time posting but ive been following this site almost daily since the last off season. Sonn504 your my first person im playing against so when ever your ready let me know. Again thanks for having me on the league.
Finally won my first game. Beat the Lakers 96-89. I had a 21 point lead at one point in time, but it got down to 7 in the fourth with the backups in, but when I reinserted the starters they built it back up. Tony Parker hit a buzzer beater at the end, so it wasn't as close as the score indicates, game was never in doubt.
Durant had 31 points (13-20) and 9 boards.
Gortat had 23 points (10-15) and 6 boards.
JR Smith had 14 points (6-16).
Jrue Holiday had 13 points (6-8).
I shot 56% from the field and 30% from three.
Its gonna take a while to get used to my team, but Jamal Crawford is really playing well. Daddy Dirk is rough to play with if you have never done so before because his shot is a little longer. Rondo at the point is awesome though, even if I only drop 6 a game with him. I finally got my first win with Crawford dropping 41. Lol.
I am mainly a reader but would love to play. I will try and join after work. I play about everyday anyway
I finally won my first game against the CPU. My team is starting to play much better now that I know how to use Melo.
The grizzlies owner just quit our game and called me a "button smashing vagina". He was mad that I got a bunch of steals without getting any reach-in fouls.
He also refused to use icon passing during the inbound pass. Obviously that helped me get a few of those button smashes.
Lol, people are going to get angry when they lose, it's how it goes. I dont care either way. The one gripe I have is the 10 minute quarters....takes like an hour and a half to play the game..lol. I do like the reality of it though cause most games end up right around where an NBA score would be.
Also, most turnovers in user games come from not being smart or not taking your time. You cant fast break every play, and you cant force passes. I typically pass with the icons at all times.

I'm 3-1 against users so far and I made one owner quit lol. Does anybody want Jason Kidd? He's pretty much the only piece I could see me moving right now. Granger too if the right offer is made.

Speek, the app that makes conference calls fast and easy to join, announced the launch of its Android app today.
Speek eschews the traditional dial-in number, pin, and elevator music. Instead, conference callers can join by going to a URL (like speek.com/kiramnewman) or clicking the leader's username on the app. Once in, you can see who's talking, share images, and (if you're the head honcho) manage and mute participants.
Along with its launch, the startup released one year of statistics from Speek conference calls, totaling about 6 million minutes. On average, says cofounder and CTO Danny Boice, users make five 15-minute calls per month with five participants. Here's some more data.
Time of day: Most calls take place at 1, 2, or 3 pm. Early-morning calls (starting between 7 and 8 am) last the longest, around 55 minutes. The charts show number of calls, number of callers, and average call length.

WINSTON-SALEM — Yes, it was expected.
But that didn't subtract from the celebration for Cummings High School.
Behind the electrifying performance of meet Most Valuable Performer Isaiah Moore, the Cavaliers captured their first boys' indoor track and field state championship in school history in the Class 1-A / 2-A / 3-A meet Saturday at JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem.
Moore recorded victories in the 55-meter hurdles (7.44 seconds) and high jump (6 feet, 6 inches), along with a second-place finish in the long jump (22-10). His 28 total points — 10 for victories, eight for the runner-up finish — buoyed Cummings' team score of 36 points.
It's the second straight year that the junior has captured MVP honors, with one key difference between his performances. Moore outscored second-place North Lincoln's 27 points by himself.
"Last year, it was spaced out more so I wasn't as tired," said Moore, who had little time to rest between events.
"Sometimes (it helps to have everything back-to-back-to-back). It was real crazy because … I went from hurdles to long jump to high jump," Moore said. "After the hurdles was over, I did long jump and high jump back-and-forth, back-and-forth."
Moore owns the top hurdle time in North Carolina, regardless of competition level. He's headed to Seattle in a couple of weeks for the Brooks Invitational, a meet designed to bring together the top high school track and field athletes from across the country.
Still, he was hard-pressed in the hurdles and won by .08 seconds.
His pursuer? Teammate Thomas Jones II, who's the only person this season to beat Moore in any hurdles race. Jones finished second in the 55 hurdles with nothing but praise for his teammate.
"It helps out a lot because I know he'll push me, but at times I feel I'm the rabbit, he's the coyote because I know I'm going to get to the first hurdle first and he just catches me," Jones said of the teammates' competition.
Coach Donnie Davis said it's a matter of cohesiveness between Moore and Jones, with ego never playing a role.
"Isaiah and (Jones), it's always a competition but it's never a rivalry," Davis said. "The only thing there is we're going to do this. It's not 'me' or 'you,' it's 'us.' "
Cummings also had Jeremy Griffis finish 10th in the 500. Will Richardson, who started the winter season on the basketball team before a knee injury sidelined him, was 12th in the shot put. Richardson's return to the team ignited spirited practices leading to the championships, according to Moore.
"We knew we had to win because when we found out we were in the mix, and then we found out that Will (Richardson) was coming back, we just got so happy and we knew we were going to push this last week to make it better," Moore said.
Eastern Alamance's Saadiq Sweezer finished second in the 500 (1:06.67). Yet, the junior was torn between emotions, especially considering his 16th-place finish in the 300 (37.5).
"It's a good feeling, knowing that you're second in the state out of everybody in North Carolina," Sweezer said. "But just the fact that I've been working so hard trying to get this ring, trying to get No. 1, it feels good but it hurts at the same time."
Western Alamance's Gilliam Hill finished fifth in the 1600 (4:36.98), more than 10 seconds better than his personal record.
In Class 4-A action later in the day, Southern Alamance's Collin Loy finished 14th in the 1,600 (4:37.44).
On the girls' side, Western Alamance's Lydia Laws won her first indoor state championship by recording a jump of 17-4 in the long jump.
"Whenever (McMichael's) Courtney Crawford tied it up with 17-2, I was just thinking things are really about to get interesting," Laws said. "I was planning it in my mind that I was going to take it because I had to believe that badly."
The championship gives the junior her first indoor state championship and second overall, after she won the 300 hurdles at last year's Class 3-A state championship in the outdoor season. Laws also finished third in the 55 hurdles (8.58). Her total of 16 points was good enough for ninth place in the team competition.
Williams High School featured a pair of third-place finishes, with Shanica Johnson in the 55 dash (7.36) and Tamilia Wright in the long jump (17-1.5).
"(I'm) happy with two third places because they both had (personal records)," Bulldogs coach Brian Smith.
Cummings, which entered the day having won five of the six championships on the girls' side, was anchored by a pair of fourth-place finishes. Ro'Daijah Faucette was fourth in the 300 dash (41.6) and Samirah Stephens recorded a fourth-place finish in the 55 hurdles (8.69).
Sha'Lena Spikes finished eighth in the shot put with a throw of 32-3 for the Cavaliers.
Southern Alamance's Erica Lloyd finished 15th in the shot put (31-9.5) in the Class 4-A competition.

Sweetly Official!
I have been working on a project for about…mmm…5 months now. I am nearing the very end and it is finally time to share. Sadly, some people I love might actually find out from my blog before hearing from me! I have been keeping it quiet until now. Now that it is time to reveal everthing I am so, busy, so busy…like not cooking busy…sigh. However, I finally have wrapped up the official stuff(licenses and tigers and insurance…oh my) and am ready to roll.
I, my friends, have an LLC. Making what food you ask? Not a spec is my answer. Clearly, the logical extension to most would be to do some sort of food product and frankly, for a long time I thought I would as well. However, life is full of twists and turns and alas, food has nothing to do with my LLC.
So, what is it you ask??? I am making all natural bath and skin care products for adults and babies. Crazy…I know! The reality is, I have been doing it for years. I won't bore you with the where's and whys of it, but I finally decided to do it as a business.
So here are the specifics… cuz I KNOW you are on the edge of your seats….
The product line is called Sweet Cheeks. Why? Because, it is what I call my kids and when my husband is really lucky….him. I wanted to use all natural products that are good for the skin and good for the earth. All the oils used are plant based which means that your skin is able to absorb them as opposed to just sitting on top of the skin. Funny, however, when deciding to start a company, the hard part wasn't what ingredients to use to make my products, it was how to package them in a way that was gentle to the earth. To that end, most of Sweet Cheeks products are in glass containers and I am working hard to get all of them in glass and/or with as minimal packaging as possible.
So all my RVA peeps (yeah… I whipped out peeps) PLEASE come by and say hi. I will be at the West End farmers market every Wednesday (3-7) starting the April 28th and the St. Stephens farmers market about every other Saturday starting May 1st. You can also find me on Etsy, but I won't have any product on there until after the first farmers markets.
Plus follow Sweet Cheeks on facebook and twitter for specials!!

My wife has been practicing with this for a few months now. My bathroom looks like a meth lab with all of the brown essential and carrier oils.
Did you get any special training on the legal aspects of what you can and can't say in marketing? She wants to do something like you are doing but I worry about the potential entanglements with the FDA. The LLC is a very good start on your part.

Oh I am so excited, and for some reason not getting your post in my feed!
When the kids were little I did a similar thing, and made candles- that business would be called 'hot cheeks', lol

Have you heard the myth that black cats are unsafe in October, in part because witches may try to adopt them for rituals? We sure have. But guess what? Top ASPCA experts agree that it's just not true.
At the ASPCA, we LOVE black kitties. (Some of our friendliest cats, like Marissa, are black—yet Marissa has waited more than nine months to find a family. What's up with that?)
Aside from the most important reason to adopt black kitties—that they really need extra help finding homes—here are a few reasons to take home one or two:
- Their fur won't show on your little black dress.
- You can tell your kids you adopted a mini panther.
- Black cats go with everything.
- In most cultures, black cats are a sign of good luck.
- You already know black cats are awesome—you have one at home! If you've got a great black kitty, tell us about him or her in the comments. You just might persuade someone else to give these felines a little extra attention.
I have adopted black cats for 20 yrs. My current baby Ebony I got 5 yrs ago when she was only 2 months old. Her owner gave away her siblings but no one wanted her because she was like her mom and only had a stump for a tail. She is one of the most loving cats I have ever had. I spoil her rotten. She loves to sleep under my arm at night after she kneads the blanket over me. She is my little love and I would protect her with all that I have.My friend Eddie calls her boo boo because she reminds him of halloween. He spoils her also. When he takes a glass of milk he calls her to come have her share before he has his. She has so many different vocal sounds that I know what she is asking for. Sometimes I say show momma and she leads me either to her food bowl or the front door for outside. I love her with all my heart
She started as a foster cat for a friend and has found a forever home with me. Matilde is a 15 lb. black cat with beautiful green/gold eyes and a real lovebug.
My sister and I both have a black cat They were both strays we took in They are both loving great cats mine thinks she is a dog. My sister and I are both very careful around October With all our animals especially the black cats. like it or not there are people who do use them Satanic rituals But that is even more reason for good people to give adopt a black and ensure it is safe and has a good home . They are great!!!!
Hello all - I have to say, this article rings true. I adopted my black kitty from a shelter in Rhode Island about five years ago and it was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made regarding a pet.
Eddie is his name (I renamed him Eddie Haskell-for the little devil that he is) and I knew it was love at first sight when I saw his sweet little face. He was part of a litter with six other black kittens and everyone just passed them by. I remember that day quite well. The shelter employee was really trying to market these awesome dudes/dudettes - and I have to say, I am very glad she was routing for them. My Eddie just rocks, bottom line!
He has brought me many laughs, some worries too, but most of all - continued joy, love and amazing companionship to my life (and I think he feels the same way!). We are lucky to have each other!
Thanks for reading my story!
I started out with one black cat-we adopted him from a shelter, he was abused from his previous home-and turned out to be the biggest LOVE imaginable and such a good protector of his Mama! Then another black kitty came to me from a friend who couldn't keep him. He was 20 pounds, and such a gentle giant! But unfortunately, he was only 6 years old when he got lymphoma and we tried treatments, but after a month, our hearts broke and he left us. Now, I have adopted a 3rd black kitty-who was left in a box on someones porch and she is an absolute sweetheart! I guess I just attract black cats, and I wouldn't want it any other way!
I adopted a gorgeous baby girl long hair black cat 7yrs ago. She is the most loving' gentle furbaby you will ever find. She plays and follows you around like a puppy. People are reallly missing out if they judge the Kitty by the color of their fur. I also had 2 black Great Danes. Such a myth that they are bad luck...it's actually the oppose. "Black Rocks"!!!
On Sept 16, I adopted a 6 yr old black cat after losing my 19 year old 6 weeks before. Zorro is so loving and well mannered, it was instant love the day I "interviewed" him, he put both arms around my neck and rubbed the side of my neck.
I adopted my little Sunspot two years ago from my local SPCA and have loved every minute she's been in my home. When I adopted her it had been almost a year since I lost my 18 year old Tigger to cancer. My other cat was missing a friend, he grew up with Tigger and didn't know life without another cat. So I went in search of the perfect new addition to my family. Sunspot was exactly what I was looking for. She was so sweet and her start in life was not great. Abandoned by her mom under a shed in someone's back yard, the children who lived there found her and because she was dirty decided she needed a bath; it was late winter so it was still very cold outside. But they washed her up in the wading pool in their yard. The parents brought her into the spca cold, malnourished and with a cough. The spca nursed her back to health and put her up for adoption. When I saw her and took her out of the cage, she curled up in my arms and snuggled her head against my neck and just took a deep breath and fell asleep. I was such a goner right then! She's two years old now and never ceases to bring joy into the house. Tearing around acting like a little clown and daredevil. "Tormenting" my 13 year old cat who just wants to sleep :) Every pet I've ever owned I've gotten from a shelter and I've never been disappointed. I love animals and my little black Sunspot is no exception!
I have 2 black cats and a black dog - they are awesome, very loving and extremely friendly. They get along with my dogs and the other cats. They love to come up and show you affection and very playful. I would never trade them in for anything or anyone.
I have a black cat with white paws (Mittens), that just turned one year old. She is so entertaining and fun to watch (Loves the cat tree)!! And she is one of the most affectionate cats I have ever had. I have 2 other cats, one gray and one yellow, and they play together all the time. Love Her!!

text: One of the laws of physics is that energy always flows from warmer to colder areas. This is called conduction: Heat is conducted away from hot objects and towards cold objects. For example, when you sit down on a chair, heat flows from your body into the chair. Then if you stand up and touch the chair cushion a few minutes later, it will feel warm. This happens because of molecular movement. When you sit down on the chair, your body heat causes the molecules in the chair to start moving faster. Once they start moving, they hit other molecules nearby until all of the molecules near the top of the seat are moving and transferring heat throughout the entire object. Heat conduction only works through direct contact of solid objects. An example of this in your home would be in your flooring. If your floors are warm or heated, they will help warm up any furniture, carpets, or other objects touching the floors, which will in turn stabilize the heated temperature you've set for your rooms.

Gabrielle Chanel was a woman of striking contrasts. At times, she expressed her playful and extravagant side, inspired by the sumptuously baroque style of gilt wood and stunning lacquered finishes, rococo mirrors and opulent jewelry. At other times, she practiced strict minimalism, designing severe suits and the little black dress, all within the rigorous code of black and white.
The jewelry that Gabrielle Chanel created throughout her life captured this fusion of the austere and the ostentatious. In addition, or perhaps in contrast, to the costume jewelry that she introduced to the world, she also designed fine jewelry creations, giving free reign to her imagination to devise sophisticated, exceptionally precious pieces.
Through archival images, interviews and never-before-seen documents, this book is the first to explore an intriguing facet of Gabrielle Chanel: her singular passion for jewelry. In her view, jewelry should be appreciated "with innocence, with naivety, like enjoying an apple tree in blossom along the road as we speed by in a car."
Éditions de La Martinière.

Very thin material, cup part was all squished out of shape and won't stay round. Handle is cool, but plunger part doesn't seem to be able to make a seal on the bottom of the sink, so you can't create enough pressure to clear the drain.

- Got A Question?
Most people think of their customers when it comes to getting referrals, but the truth is, it's hard to get referrals from your customers even if you provide them with excellent service. Why? People are naturally busy these days. They already have so much on their minds, so it's hard to get them to talk about your business. The other reason is that it can be difficult to set up a "referral system" with individuals, because they are not system oriented.
Instead, I recommend targeting complimentary businesses for your referral marketing. Complimentary businesses offer a great opportunity to create referral programs since businesses already use systems such as this. So what type of business would be the ideal complimentary business to your car detailing service? Well, there are quite a few that I could come up with, but the best one that comes to mind are non-profit businesses.
Non-profit businesses need help with support. The two biggest problems they face are:
1. The lack of money
2. The lack of publicity
The one thing that non-profit organizations do have is a loyal following of individuals who are willing to help out. This is a great opportunity for your business. Let me give you an example. Elementary Schools are always doing fundraisers to raise money for certain projects or events. As a car detailing business, you can partner up with these schools to help them raise the money they need.
Remember, I said that non-profits always have a loyal group of followers who are willing to help out. In the case of elementary schools, this loyal group would be the parents of the children that go to that particular school.
You could approach a certain school in your area. Print up flyers that promise to give a percentage of the order to this school's fundraising efforts. Take these flyers to the school so that all the students can take them home to their families. Make the offer available for a limited time. This is a great referral system because it benefits all parties involved:
1. It benefits to school because they get free money.
2. It benefits the student's families because they are getting a great deal on a car detailing.
3. It benefits your business because you are getting more customers.
This referral system has been proven to work with other businesses like Pizza restaurants. I recently saw an advertisement that one PAPA John's manager put together for a local school. For every pizza order, he gave 20 percent to the local school.
It's a great way to help out your community and boost your business at the same time.
