Paid a visit to a local LA gun shop (major chain) and they had stopped carrying them due to lack of sales. They referred me to another dealer and found they had discontinued them as well... I was looking for a second P99. I have the titanium slide version.
Maybe they will have the PPS.
I had a hard time finding shops with any in-stock, but pretty much any shop will order one for you.
The hard part (at least for me) was the gigantic waiting list for the 9mm. I ended up with a .40 S&W just because I got tired of waiting.
That being said, I LOVE my gun. Now if only I hadn't broken both arms and been unable to shoot it for 2 months...
I still cannot locate the P99 AS. The dealer sais he would require a full deposit, then he would try to find one. They must be unavailable.
There are several available in CA. Try this link for one in .40 S&W.
Bud's has them in stock. Send them the money and they will ship it to an FFL of your choice.
Thankfully I saw where it was the OP who had dredged up this old thread and I changed my reply, allowing me to avoid an embarrassingly stupid reply ......... until now. Oh well, it's not my first stupid reply. And, it probably ........ well, you know.
My apologies to junior member Sonny Boy for thinking bad thoughts about you.
I have thick skin so, no problem. On another forum, as a junior member, I did dredge up an old thread and got pummeled. I try and look at the dates now to avoid that issue.
Thanks for the concern.
I know this is an older thread, but there wasn't any talk about whether or not people are able to find them... (just trying to cover my a**)
I just went to my local gun shop and the didnt have the P99 9mm QA that I wanted so they called their supplier and ordered one. In fact the supplier said they had 5, so no supply issues here.
I had pretty much given up on it but still would like one. I have the last gen with the titanium coated slide which was purchased in 04 or 05.

Anti-Semitism and islamophobia are halves of the same walnut.
Here's another fact: islamophobia is alive and well in America.
Why did it take nine long years for islamophobia to get up a head of steam?
Over at Commentary, Jonathan Tobin argues that islamophobia in the United States must be a myth because... look!
But the incendiary ramifications of islamophobia are too often given lower priority, or even overlooked.
He was also disturbed by the loaded arguments taking place online that were often filled with anti-Semitism and islamophobia.
He's been equally outspoken in pushing back against islamophobia.
But to critics, Phares has long been a lightning rod for charges of islamophobia and outright aggression toward Muslims.
But Nakoula's islamophobia wasn't an ignorant reaction to the attacks.
If it has been too easy to jump on the right for its islamophobia, Bennoune takes on the Western left as well.

Getting the basics of reading and writing is one of the most important lessons for young students, and the Montessori Letter Sounds app gives a great introduction to phonetic sounds and letters. The app has been developed by a group of Montessori teachers, Les Trois Elles, who have had many years of teaching experience, and is a great approach to supplementing reading practice for students between 3 and 7 years. It offers multiple activities such as writing letters, listening to phonetic sounds and pronouncing words, and uses bright graphics and marbles as encouragement.
The app is divided into four progressive steps, I Spy, Letter Sounds, Mix and Match and Sound it Out. I Spy is the first step in the game where players learn words to enrich their vocabulary, and try to identify sounds in words. This is an excellent method of gradually increasing very young children's vocabulary while also improving their understanding of letters and words.
The second step in the app, Letter Sounds, is for 4 years and up. This step helps players to memorize letter sounds and shapes, and has three levels, vowels only, vowels and consonants, and vowels consonants and phonograms. Players have to select the letter based on a sound given, and if they get it correct, they receive a marble.
The third step, Mix and Match, is unlocked by playing the first two games and winning enough marbles to progress. It aims to increase awareness of letters being used in the beginning, middle and at the end of words, and helps players associate the sounds of words with the matching letters.
The final step, Sound it Out, allows players to write words using mobile letters. At the beginning the words are short, but through the game they become longer and more complex.
The app has some other nice features that complement the game including a sandbox and notebook where players can trace letters, and an image box with everyday images and the words that go with them. These features give a good practical use for the learning done in the game section.
What we liked about this app was that it used the key teachings of the Montessori method to give a modern twist to learning about letters and words. The method itself is based on building self confidence and allowing children to try without the fear of getting things wrong. The app itself is nicely simple, with clear audio and bright graphics. It would be an excellent supplement to any pre-reading student looking to improve their letter understanding, and is a good basis for progressing onto reading. It could also helpful for giving toddlers a head start before they start schooling.
The app is available for purchase via iTunes and is compatible with iPads, iPhones and iPod Touch.

Yes, cars have navigation. Like my Prius V, for about $800-$1000. That navigation is so poor relative to what's available in this $50 unit that you'd be a real dummy to pay $800 to get it.
casagreaves wrote:I can't add one to my shopping cart. Are they sold out?
No, not sold out and I just added it to my cart. Could you try another browser, clear temps/cache, reboot, etc. Let me know how it goes.
I bought a Garmin similar to this last year around Christmas for my girlfriend. It worked pretty good, but when I tried to update the maps for a trip from NY to NC there wasn't enough space on the unit to update the maps we needed. Then it stopped working altogether, even for local stuff.
Map updates cost more than this! Can't beat this deal. We've used Garmins for years and are happy with them. I never use my phone as a GPS because it eats up data, and I don't have an unlimited plan.
Flugerbill wrote:yeah but then some of us need our phones to talk or run other apps. Oh, you probably have a second phone for that.
Yes my Galaxy S5 has GREAT GPS but if I am without cell signal OR I am on my phone constantly it is nice to have a dedicated GPS without flipping back and forth constantly. I have an old Garmin and ONE map update cost more than this unit. Good deal I would think!

I agree I have a large screen GPS in my new Hyundai that SUCKS, it is the most horrific piece of $hit that ever was. It boggles my mind why car manufactures create their own crap GPS system instead of using Garmin technology.
efkauz wrote:Does this have maps for US-lower 48 only. Or does this have the map for US and Canada?
I'm looking for the same info. I want more than just the US.
Many people say, " Why do I need a GPS? My phone has GPS." Yes very true, and your phone is perfect for in city driving. However you get outside of cities, outside of cell coverage, what are you going to use?
The GPS is perfect for the longer trips outside of cities. The GPS does not require a large data plan, the GPS allows you to use your cell phone for making calls or listening to Music while driving.
frzntndra wrote:I have a Mac running OS 10.6.8. am I going to have problems installing apps, updating?
Nope, they have a full suite of Mac software.
I got this during a previous woot. I had a couple of much more expensive Garmins that were a couple years old, but I was sick of paying for map updates, and buying this was cheaper than buying new maps for my old garmins.
It works fine. It does a bunch of things that my older and expensive ones don't do, a few more options on how to set up the screen, and some simple things like switching from arrival time to miles to arrive or minutes until arrival etc.
The bells and whistles available on more expensive GPSs are not anything I'd need on the rural roads. Accurate current maps are the most important thing. I think it is a good GPS. My only complaint is that I wish the battery life when not plugged in was longer, so that I could use it longer while on foot in cities. I can think of a few other improvements I'd like to see, but for this price I'd say it is a great value, cheaper than upgrading maps on older units.

nvarea wrote:"Lifetime maps"... this phrase means the lifetime of this specific GPS - a few years maybe - and not YOUR lifetime. If it quits working in a year you'll need to buy another device with lifetime maps - it is not transferable.
To clarify, the lifetime maps is certainly limited to the life of your specific device(*), but NOT to the life of this product line. Even if this specific device is discontinued, map updates will continue to work because Garmin uses the same format for nearly all of their mapping products.
(*) - Pretty much an industry standard. I know of only a very few example of a subscription-based service that is tied to a specific piece of hardware that continues when the hardware dies or is replaced.
dostone wrote:This model DOES have Lane Assist...
"Know the lane before it's too late with lane assist with junction view"
Well, yes, sort of. As you know Garmin and TomTom use different mapping software. As much as I like Garmin, their GPS devices provide "lane assist" for only a small fraction of locations that the TomTom does. I find this a real shortcoming of Garmin for me.

That's a common problem. Most solutions involve the use of a microSD card and moving the map information there. Check the Googles, there's help out there.

I really want a GPS map unit. I think I'll get one by way of buying a $15,000 car. Yes, that sounds logical.
vatchman wrote:Can I buy this and use the lifetime Maps part to update map in my existing Garmin which has traffic but not lifetime maps?
Don't think so but you would need to ask Garmin that question.
Hate to break it to you, but the courts have determined that it is your constitutional right to flash your lights and warn other motorists of speed traps, and there is nothing the cops can do abbout it. If they write you a ticket for it, it will be thrown out.
tc1uscg wrote:No, but its doesn't give away your position to the world and I'm sure in some back woods location in the U.S., reporting where police have speed traps set up would be considered flashing your lights to warn on coming drivers.. meaning.. it's a 175.00 fine and points in Michigan..

$5 Ships Your Entire Order
One $5 charge covers standard shipping to a single address for everything in your cart.
That's right. Your five bucks buys you standard shipping for your entire order, as long as it's all going to the same address.
That goes for any order, of any size, from any site in the Wootosphere. Buy from Woot, then grab a new tee at Shirt.Woot. Shop for the kids at Kids.Woot and yourself at Home.Woot. One $5 charge ships it all.
Expedited shipping costs more, of course. And if you want your stuff shipped to multiple addresses, you'll have to break those into different orders. But one order, one address? One shipping charge. Easy, right?
Same problem, tried at various times; tried multiple times at the same time---can't added to me cart.
More importantly, where was the user going forbthis photo? Sharks Fish and Chicken in Chicago?
Nope- just updated my daughter's Garmin on my Mac with no problem (not this model). Much easier than it used to be-
Not everyone can afford/wants to spend the extra $750-1300 on the factory nav system, or afford a top trim level model that includes it.
Beware! This model does not support routes
Time to replace the Garmin StreetPilot that we got from Woot! back in aught-eight. It serves us well but now complains frequently (on start up) that the maps are out of date. Garmin is not offering any more updates.
Anybody get theirs yet? Mine shows shipped (with another item), but I didn't get it.

Did you find out about upgrading to North America, or am I selling this unit on eBay?

Unless I am missing something.
Don't mind me, I'm posting this message I've sent to Woot CS here so I remember what I originally wrote to them...
I recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 40LM GPS which I thought was a factory reconditioned unit (it said so on my confirmation email) however I was shipped a refurbished unit.
Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, however I used the unit for a total of 3 times (plugged it in with the enclosed power cords) and now it won't even power on. I have not used it excessively or left it plugged in for any extended amount of time, it just plain 'ol stopped working. I have a .pdf of the confirmation email and a photo of the sticker on the box I can send you if that helps.
What do I do now?

Venucia is set to launch its first gasoline-fueled vehicle in 2012 and the unnamed electric auto will hit the scene some three years after that.We see a clear need for cars that are affordable, practical, spacious and zero emission. Nissan is clearly the global leader in zero emission mobility, now with more than 10,100 electric Nissan Leaf vehicles already sold worldwide.
We are fully prepared to follow the Chinese government direction to promote the adoption of zero emissions vehicles. We are ready to produce electric cars locally in China under the Venucia brand.
[Source: The Truth About Cars, Nissan]
Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn unveiled a new business plan for China on Tuesday, with local partnership Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. aiming to raise annual sales 70 percent to more than 2.3 million vehicles by 2015.
To meet that goal, the Chinese joint venture will invest 50 billion yuan ($8 billion) as it introduces 30 models, adds 1,000 dealerships and plans to sell locally built electric vehicles.
China, the world's largest auto market, is central to Power 88 Nissan's plan to raise global market share and profit margins to 8 percent by fiscal 2016.
"We have today about 6.2 percent market share in China and we know we have a shortfall in terms of supply--we cannot provide as many cars as the market is demanding," Ghosn said. "I would say the pent-up demand on our product today is above 7 percent already. We want to reach 10 percent."
The first of five models from China-only brand Venucia will be introduced next year, as the new nameplate targets annual sales of 300,000 within five years.
Venucia will also begin selling an electric model by 2015.
"We can introduce the technology, we can introduce the zero-emission cars, and we can introduce them in the best way possible to make them competitive," Ghosn said.
New production capacity in Guangzhou, Changzhou and Shiyan will help the company's local manufacturing capability keep pace as Nissan Dongfeng gears up for further growth in the Middle Kingdom.
Company to invest RMB 50 billion, increase sales to more than 2.3 million units, launch 30 new products; VENUCIA brand preparing to launch dedicated zero-emission electric car
Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. (DFL), Nissan's joint venture in China, today announced a new five-year business plan to accelerate growth in the world's largest automotive market.
With investments totaling RMB 50 billion (610 billion JPY/ 8 billion USD), DFL aims to increase sales from 1.3 million vehicles today to more than 2.3 million units by the end of 2015. Over the next five years, the company will launch around 30 products, including preparations to launch a fully electric zero-emission car for the Chinese market under Dongfeng Nissan's original new brand, VENUCIA.
In May 2008, DFL announced a five-year plan named Plan 13 ("one cubed"), with three key pillars targeting significant growth, operational enrichment and building a trusted company. The plan targeted 1 million units in annual sales by 2012; the company achieved sales of nearly 1.3 million units in 2010.
"Nissan's strong partnership with Dongfeng Motor Corporation has been the primary driver of its robust growth over the past eight years in the Chinese market" said Carlos Ghosn, President & CEO of Nissan Motor. "The new plan, with its investments in capacity, products and innovation, will ensure that China continues to be Nissan's largest global market."
Increasing sales and growing share, boosted by VENUCIA
DFL has set a goal of achieving sales of more than 2.3 million units by 2015, an increase of 1 million units from its record 2010 sales volume. The company's target is to achieve and maintain a 10 percent share of the Chinese market during the business plan period.
Sales of the first passenger vehicle from VENUCIA (Chinese Name: Qi Chen), Dongfeng Nissan's original new brand, are scheduled for 2012. A total of five new models will be launched from VENUCIA, with annual sales expected to reach 300,000 units by 2015.
Increased production capacity
To achieve the sales target of more than 2.3 million units, DFL will build a new manufacturing facility in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, which will produce light commercial vehicles (LCVs). This new facility is in addition to the second production facility for passenger vehicles in Huadu, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, which will start operations early next year, and a new plant in Shiyan, Hubei Province, to produce heavy and middle commercial vehicles (H&MCVs), which is scheduled to be inaugurated in 2011. DFL will also reinforce its existing facilities, including a second plant in Zhengzhou.
In total, the company will increase its current capacity of 1.2 million vehicles in 2011 to 1.5 million units in 2012 before reaching 2.3 million units in 2015. To support the planned increase in vehicle production capacity, DFL-PV will build new powertrain manufacturing facilities for both engines and transmissions. The company is targeting to reach almost 100% of supplier localization by 2015.
Expanded new products and sales network
To support the new growth strategy, DFL will introduce 30 new vehicles by 2015 to respond to rapidly diversifying customer needs in the Chinese market. The number of dealer outlets will be increased from the current 1400 to 2,400 in 2015, of which 1,000 dealer outlets would be DFL-PV.
First dedicated electric vehicle for Chinese market
Following the new direction of the Chinese government to promote energy-efficient vehicles, the company is preparing to introduce an electric passenger vehicle (EV) under the VENUCIA brand. The car will go on sale by 2015 and will be locally produced in China.
Through the model city pilot program with Wuhan City, Hubei Province, and Guangzhou City, DFL is preparing to contribute to the promotion of EVs in China with know-how accumulated through Nissan's launch of the first mass-market, 100 percent electric vehicle, the Nissan LEAF, in Japan, Europe and the United States.
"DFL achieved the sales target of the previous mid-term business plan two years ahead of schedule. This is the result of our unique joint venture, integrating the two cultures of Nissan and Dongfeng, offering timely products and services that satisfy the needs of every stakeholder, from customers and employees to suppliers and investors," said Kimiyasu Nakamura, president of DFL.
DFL and Nissan sales targets in China: 2011 / 2015
DFL (PV+LCV+H&MCV): 1.35 million / more than 2.3 million
Nissan (PV+LCV+Imported model): 1.15 million / more than 2.0 million
Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd (DFL)
Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. was established in 2003 as a result of a comprehensive, strategic partnership between Dongfeng Group and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. DFL is the first joint venture in China to have a full lineup of passenger vehicles, LCVs and H&MCVs, and has grown faster than the total market in China. Registered capital of the company is RMB 16.7 billion, the largest automotive joint venture investment in China, with Dongfeng and Nissan each holding a 50 percent stake.
Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company (DFL-PV)
Dongfeng Nissan is a business unit of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., Nissan's joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. Dongfeng Nissan is engaged in research and development operations, manufacturing and distribution of passenger vehicles.
Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. and its business in China
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Japan's second-largest Japanese automotive company, is headquartered in Yokohama, Japan, and is part of the Renault-Nissan Alliance. Operating with more than 248,000 employees globally, Nissan provided customers with more than 4.1 million vehicles globally in 2010, generating revenue of 8.77 trillion yen. China is the largest single market for Nissan, representing nearly a quarter of its total global sales. Nissan started its full-scale operation in the Chinese market in 2003 with the establishment of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. Nissan launched its luxury brand, Infiniti, in China in 2007. Nissan's sales volume, including both passenger and light commercial vehicles, has risen from 94,000 units in 2003 to more than 1 million units in 2010. For 2011, Nissan is targeting sales of 1.15 million vehicles in China.

Editor's Note: Yeah, we're not too sure these cookies have any real resemblance to Thin Mints, what with the creme and vanilla cookie, but we still hope to inhale a box in the near future.
One of my happiest childhood memories involves cookies. I was a Girl Scout, and in 198whenever, my mom, who is not usually insane, volunteered our house to be the local distribution center for the annual cookie drive. It was like Cookie Christmas: I woke up one morning, came downstairs and found our entire living room filled, floor to ceiling, with cases of cookies. A whole room of cookies! At first, I was in heaven. Then I got to the part where (much like it is to be vegan now) I wasn't allowed to eat them and it became torture.
I held out secret hope that if any cookies went unsold, California's possession laws would grant me ownership. I turned in my sash and quit the club when those overachievers sold the last damn box. But today I have found redemption! All I need is a stockpile of cash, the room of my choice, and Paskesz Mint Creme Cookies by the caseload. Thin Mints! And the packaging doesn't lie, they are approximately 3,782 times better frozen. Girl Scout's honor.

Brad Mills
Note: This article is for manager and infielder Brad Mills; for the pitcher who made his debut in 2009, click here.
James Bradley Mills
- Bats Left, Throws Right
- Height 6' 0", Weight 195 lb.
- School College of the Sequoias, University of Arizona
- High School Exeter Union High School
- Debut June 8, 1980
- Final Game October 2, 1983
- Born January 19, 1957 in Exeter, CA USA
Biographical Information[edit]
Third baseman Brad Mills played four seasons in the big leagues for the Montreal Expos, getting into 106 games. He was two years younger than Andre Dawson and three years older than Tim Raines.
He suffered a knee injury that ended his playing career while in the minors in 1986. Since then, he has been a minor league manager, scout, and a big league coach with the Philadelphia Phillies (1997-2000), Montreal Expos (2003), and Boston Red Sox (2004-2004).
Mills is a longtime friend of former Red Sox manager Terry Francona. They were teammates and roommates at the University of Arizona and played together for the Expos from 1981 to 1983. They even appeared on a 1982 Topps baseball card together. He was a member of Francona's coaching staff on the Phillies and joined the Red Sox after Francona was hired as the team's skipper.
He was named manager of the Houston Astros for the 2010 season, at a time when the Astros were beginning to rebuild the team after many of the players who had constituted the core of the team for years, particularly Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio, retired. The team remained competitive in his first season at the helm in 2010, finishing in 4th place in the NL Central at 76-86, but was in full rebuilding mode in 2011. That year, the team traded away outfielders Michael Bourn and Hunter Pence in mid-year and had the worst record in franchise history at 56-106. The team was sold to Jim Crane during the year and a new front office team led by GM Jeff Luhnow was put in place. The losing continued in 2012, even reaching new levels, for example when the team lost its first 11 extra-inning games of the season, set a team record with a 12-game losing streak in July, and went 2-25 from June 28th to July 28th. The Astros continued to trade away veterans during that period, and it was clear that the writing was on the wall for Mills. On August 18th, following another brutal loss, 12-4 to the Arizona Diamondbacks, Mills was fired along with hitting coach Mike Barnett and first base coach Bobby Meacham.
In 2013, Mills rejoined his old friend Francona to serve as third base coach of the Cleveland Indians after Terry was appointed the team's manager.
Mills coached for the US in the 2001 Baseball World Cup.
Mills' son Beau Mills, was taken in the 1st round of the 2007 amateur draft by the Cleveland Indians but never reached the majors.

Scott Brown's win in Massachusetts will put the chill on climate legislation
Kevin Grandia | January 19, 2010
By Kevin Grandia • Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - 20:38
Republican candidate Scott Brown has won the race to replace the late Senator Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts and, as I wrote earlier today, this does not bode well for the clean energy and climate change legislation currently being considered in the Senate.
Up until a couple of weeks ago this was seen as an easy win for the Democratic candidate Martha Coakley, but as the polls began to tighten, the political punditry began to speculate what a Republican win would mean for President Obama's health care reform package. In a nutshell, and without getting into wonky talk about super-majorities and the like, a Brown win in the Bay State most likely means health-care-for-all is dead in the water.
While the ramifications for the health care package have rightly been the talk of the town and the cable news talking heads, there are other parts of Obama's plan that will also suffer. One of the biggies is the American Clean Energy And Security Act, also known as the Waxman-Markey bill or the green jobs/clean energy bill.
ACES proposes, among other things, to invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency incentives for homes and buildings, grants for green jobs and a cap-and-trade program that aims to reduce economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent by 2020.

Bermudagrass Lawns
Bermudagrass is a popular turfgrass for lawns, golf courses, and athletic fields alike. Bermudagrass ranges from very fine to course leaf texture with a low, dense growth habit for the home lawn. The best defense in a home lawn against weed infestations is a dense, healthy grass species.
Bermudagrass can be found in Australia, Africa, India, South America, and the southern United States. It grows in a number of soil types. The biggest negative for using bermudagrass in the home lawn is that it tends to creep into flower beds.
Bermudagrass prefers full sun and is not as shade tolerant as other lawn grass varieties. Bermudagrass is fairly drought tolerant as it has a deep root system. Proper water and nutrient applications to bermudagrass aid in developing a deep strong root system. Overwatering can lead to a shallow root system. Water your lawn only as the grass needs it.
Bermudagrass is drought and traffic tolerant. Hybrid bermudagrass varieties are typically better adapted for golf courses and sports fields than the home lawn. Generally, the maintenance requirements for hybrid bermudagrass is higher than common-type of bermudagrass.
Bermudagrass spreads both by above ground stolons and below ground rhizomes. Bermudagrass can be established from seed, sprigs, plugs or even sod. Mowing height of bermudagrass should be 1 to 2 inches in height for common bermudagrass and ½ to 1.5 inches in height for hybrid varieties.
Bermudagrass varieties include Common, Quickstand, Tifgreen, Celebration, and Tifsport to name a few. A soil test is important to insure the proper nutrients are being applied to the variety chosen for the lawn. The soil test will also show the soil pH indicating whether lime is needed and at what levels in our soil. If no soil test has been performed, then a 3-1-2 ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium may be applied.
With any lawn grass species, it is important to watch for pests including insects, disease, and weeds that may be present. Proper identification of the pest species is important. If your lawn does not respond to fertilizer applications, there may be other issues going on. It may be necessary to send samples for analysis to get a plan of action. Common insect species of bermudagrass include armyworms, mites, and white grubs to name a few.
A nice dense stand of grass is aesthetically pleasing to most homeowners. Again, the best weed control is a dense stand of grass. If weed control is desired, several options including selective use of herbicides may be warranted. Be sure to read and follow all label recommendations when applying herbicides of any kind. Bermudagrass is tolerant of a number of pesticides if used in accordance with the label recommendations.
When establishing bermudagrass lawns, make sure the seed has good soil to seed contact. Some apply the seed mixed with sand to help the seed carry as it is broadcasted across the turf area. The seeds are very small with about 2,000,000 seeds per pound. Patience is needed when establishing a home lawn. Depending on the situations including temperature and moisture, bermudagrass may take 14 to 21 days to germinate. Germination will also vary whether the seed is hulled or unhulled Bermudagrass.

Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick said that among his regrets about his first stint in the NFL was that he did not give all that he could to his first team, the Atlanta Falcons.
In an interview with NBC's Football Night in America, Vick admitted that his effort was less than optimal during his 2001-2006 tenure in Atlanta, before he was sent to prison for a federal dogfighting conviction.
"I feel like I cheated the organization," Vick told NBC. "I didn't give them my all. I gave them everything on the field, 100%, but sometimes that's not enough."
Vick has experienced a renaissance season with the Eagles, for whom he won NFC Offensive Player of the Week in Weeks 9 and 10.
The Falcons are still a creditor to Vick, whose assets are being managed by a U.S. bankruptcy court. But Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who said after Vick went to prison that the QB would never again play for his team, said he is happy Vick has found success again.
Vick told NBC that he is determined in this second chance at the NFL to prepare for the game the correct way and take advantage of all his opportunities.
"This time around, I just wanted to work harder than I ever worked before, not shortchange myself," he said. "I didn't put in the hard work and the time and the effort. I didn't dedicate myself the way I do now."

Jonathan Agee Sentenced
The judge has just sentenced former Franklin County Sheriff's Deputy Jonathan Agee to three life sentences, plus 11 years, the maximum sentence.
Agee's defense argued that the steroids he was taking for an eating disorder led to his shooting spree that left his ex-wife dead and a state trooper injured on Memorial Day two years ago.
More from ABC 13: Agee faced sentencing from both Roanoke and Montgomery Counties and showed little emotion throughout the sentencing proceedings.
Prosecutors introduced a security camera video clip showing Agee pulling up behind his ex-wife's white pickup truck at the Sheetz on Williamson Road, calmly getting out, and firing 10 rounds at Jennifer Agee.
Eight rounds hit Ms. Agee. The entire event played out of this in front of their daughter and her friend's daughter in a matter of seconds.
Former State Trooper Matthew Brannock also testified about that day. Brannock described how he chased the suspect up I-81 in Memorial Day traffic with speeds that reached 120 mph - even on the shoulder of the road.
Images of the chase were captured by Agee's patrol car's dash cam and shown in court. Brannock and Agee eventually collided; the collision was followed by a barrage of gunfire from Agee.
There were 20 rounds fired in all and two of them hit Brannock. Braddock has recovered physically from his injuries, but said that the mental scars will never go away.

Mitt Romney made a birther joke, Cenk and I respond on TYT!
The Jimmy Dore Show august 24,2012
The Jimmy Dore Show August 24, 2012
This Week:
Rep Todd Akin made the unforgivable mistake of telling the TRUTH about the Republican party, revealing they think rape victims are lying sluts.
Rep. Akin and the vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan espouse EXACTLY the same backward, ignorant, anti-women ideas. In fact together, they have even cosponsored abortion bills that use language like "Forcible Rape" that would make rape and incest victims carry their babies to term.
Akin has lifted the veil on the republican party and their neanderthal ideology. It's clear they are seeking a government small enough to de-fund Planned Parenthood, but large enough to round up all the abortion doctors. Whats not new is that "Mr. Courage" Paul Ryan is now running away from his core convictions revealing his compete lack of character and cowardliness.
(The excellent caricature of Todd Akin provided by DonkeyHotey!)
Ron Paul is and ardent anti-abortionist who is no stranger to the shaming of pregnant rape victims. When Rep. Paul was questioned by Pierce Morgan what he would do if his grand-daughter became pregnant by a rape, and he responded by saying he would give her a shot of estrogen is it was an "Honest Rape". So we get Rep. Paul on the phone to explain the differences between an "honest"and a "Dis-honest" rape. Another hilarious impression done by the best impressionist in America, the inimitable Mike MacRae!
Medicare has become a hot topic on the campaign trail ever since Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his Vice President. Ryan was dumb enough to put down in writing and propose in congress, a bill that would turn Medicare into a voucher program and shift costs to the elderly. It's another part of Mitt Romney's strategy to lose Florida.
The Republican planto deal with this problem is to bold and consistently lie about about it on national TV in an attempt to confuse the voters
about who is going to do what exactly to medicare. In fact, Romney and Ryan and their surrogates have been lying so blatantly and so boldly that they are making Solodad Obrien look like Edward R. Murrow.
The usual procedure is for politicians and political operatives to appear on NEWS shows, tell blatant false hoods and outright lies, and never get challenged or corrected. But Solodad Obrien didn't get the memo. She actually corrects blatant lies and this confuses the party hacks who aren't used to having their bullshit questioned on national TV.
Condoleeza Rice was allowed membership into Augusta National Golf CLub, ending their decades old policy of denying membership to War Criminals. Its being called a real achievement for civil rights. See women can join the bigoted and sexist club, all they have to do is spend 8 years doing the bidding of the Military Industrial Complex and they're in!
With Frank Conniff, Steve Rosenfield, Stef Zamorano

As you are growing or starting your computer consulting business and trying to get great clients, you might wonder, "How do I establish credibility if I only have a couple of references and am just starting out?â€
References are incredibly important to effectively marketing your computer consulting business and establishing credibility, so you need to seize all opportunities to build relationships with those in your network that can help introduce you to qualified prospects. There are many ways to maximize and magnify the effect of any references you have and get new ones, even if your business is relatively new.
The following 4 secrets can help you make the most of your references as you build your computer consulting business.
(1) Make Sure You Have References in Writing. In order to make your references as strong as possible, you need to get them in writing on your client's letterhead. You need to make sure your references look professional, so that others know they come from legitimate small business owners. Prospects will be much more inclined to believe the recommendations of small business owners just like themselves with similar IT problems, so you need to make sure that your references look legitimate. Part of the power of a strong reference is that it comes from a third-party, that is unbiased. So you need to make sure that the sources of your references are as clear as possible.
(2) Computer Consulting Business References Should Talk About Benefits. Your references should speak about the specific benefits you provide to your clients: how you save them money; how your technology solution generates more revenue; how you enable clients to close out the month faster; how you improve overall productivity; how your solutions help clients communicate with remote workers, suppliers and vendors more seamlessly. Strong, irrefutable benefits can be an incredibly important part of great references and will make your client references more powerful, even if you only have a few client references.
(3) Be Creative About Getting Your First References. If you have no references for your computer consulting business, volunteering can be a great way to get references. Choose a non-profit organization about which you feel passionate and set up a deal with very set parameters. The key is to give a volunteer project a clear beginning and end, as you can't afford to give free services forever. As part of the deal you strike, ask the non-profit entity to write a testimonial for you. Because non-profits are usually well-known and also well-respected, their recommendations can be very powerful to your marketing campaign.
(4) Know When to Ask for References. Many computer consulting business owners are shy about asking for referrals. After all, you don't want to push your clients too hard or look needy. But, you must ask for referrals, so when is the best time? First of all, ask for a referral when someone gives you a compliment. Pay attention when you walk into an office and are finishing a project and your client says, "This new system is great! I can't believe I can do all this now!†or "I can't believe how much money we cut out of our expenses in the last few months because of this great new system upgrade!†This is your time to act. When you hear glowing compliments, ask for an updated testimonial, or a new one if you don't have one from that client yet. Also, be sure to ask if the ecstatic client knows anyone that might benefit from your services.
In this article, we talked about 4 secrets for your computer consulting business that can help you build credibility and get great references that can lead to even greater clients.

The interest in diffusion in solids is as old as physical metallurgy or materials science. It stems from application-oriented as well as from scientific reasons. First, a knowledge of diffusion is basic to an understanding of many microstructural changes that occur in solid matter at elevated temperatures. For processes like phase transformations, precipitation or dissolution of a second phase, recrystallization, oxidation, creep, annealing etc., solid state diffusion is fundamental and ubiquitous. The second reason for studying diffusion is to learn more about how atoms move in solid matter. Volume III/26 presents for the first time a comprehensive collection of diffusion data for solid metals and alloys. The critical compilation of data has resulted in tables and series of diagrams which show in 13 chapters data for the following properties: Self- and impurity-diffusion in metallic elements, self-diffusion in homogeneous binary alloys, chemical diffusion in binary and ternary alloys, diffusion in amorphous alloys, diffusion of interstitial foreign atoms like hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen in metallic elements, mass and pressure dependence of diffusion, diffusion along dislocations, grain and interphase boundary diffusion, and diffusion on surfaces.

HP Far from Snappy
So with the Thanksgiving holidays approaching, we decided that it was finally time to finish putting together a photo album of pictures from June.
I know that many of us use online albums. But I just love to sit on the couch and turn the actual pages of a book, reliving a cherished graduation or vacation.
I used to put an album together the old-fashioned way. Get the photos printed at the local photo store, pick them up, buy an album, and place them in the album with appropriate hand-written captions. It was a lot of work and it took time. Lots of time.
This year we decided to try Snapfish by HP. How wonderful to be able to place the photos in cool ways, choose pink polka dot borders, and even type in captions.
When we first started the album we either decided that 8" x 8" was a good size or we chose that size by clicking the wrong button. We can't remember which. But now we realize that an 8" x 8" album would make the photos the size of postage stamps.
But not to worry. Of course the album can be converted to the 12" x 12" size. In fact Snapfish even lets you add a larger size album to your cart when you checkout. Surely HP would provide a way to convert the small album to the large album. I mean a square is a square. What could be simpler than that ?
Alas, it appears that HP's application can not do this. Ganesh at the Live chat even verified this sad fact. So we will have to start over. From the very beginning.
After this experience I may go back to the old-fashioned way. Or I may just go to a name from the past who also has a photo book site. A name I fondly remember from my album-making days and my childhood. Kodak.

Picture This
We finally got around to it, right before the new year. Getting prints made from photos taken months and months ago - summer vacation in New Hampshire, the orchestra trip to Spain, pictures of the marching band.
Last week, HP published a press release entitled "Snapfish by HP Rings in the New Year Early with 9 Cent Prints."
The press release claims "more than 50 percent savings compared to those of other photo-sharing sites." No details. No footnotes. And in the benchmarking world, we like footnotes.
The press release also fails to mention an additional cost - the shipping and handling. This cost works out to be many cents more per print and a huge amount when you are ordering many prints. In our case, over 43% more. For that additional cost, you would think Snapfish was handling and shipping a whale.

This is a twist on the normal braised red cabbage. This is a very flavourful & festive red cabbage dish. This isn't too sweet but just sweet enough with the apple chunks and you taste a warm ginger flavour with a hint of cinnamon.
This is great served with boiled potatoes & some chicken sausages.
Print me!
Recipe: For 2 persons, with a bit of seconds
2 to 3 tablespoons of a fruity Extra Virgin Olive Oil ( EVOO )
1 red onion, peeled & finely chopped
450 gr red cabbage, cleaned, washed, pad dry on kitchen paper & shredded
225 gr of fresh apples, peeled and finely chopped into little chunks, weighted when peeled
2.5 cm of fresh ginger, peeled & finely grated
1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
150 ml gluten-free vegetable stock
3 or 4 grinds of fresh black pepper
a bit of Maldon sea salt flakes
1. I prepare my cabbage in a steam cooker with fitting lid. You can also make it in a large cook pot with fitting lid. Take your steam cooker and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the fruity EVOO. Heat up on medium heat. When hot, add the chopped onion and the apple pieces and fry for about 5 to 8 minutes until soften. Stir often.
2. Then, add the shredded cabbage and fry for about 5 minutes. Stir from time to time.
3. Now, add the grated ginger & the cinnamon. Stir well. Fry for about 5 minutes or so.
4. Add the vegetable stock & stir well with a wooden spoon. Turn the heat up on high. Bring to the boil. When boiling, place the fitting lid on the steam cooking pot. Let it sit on the high heat for about 10 to 15 minutes until the valve of the steam lid is sizzling a lot all the time. Carefully, remove the steam cooker from the heat and with help of a wooden spoon, set the air free from the valve. When completely sizzled out, remove the fitting lid.
If you are cooking the cabbage mix in a large cooking pot, cook until the cabbage & the apples are cooked through & then check the seasoning. Check the cabbage flavours. It has to taste fab! Add some Maldon sea salt flakes & 3 to 4 grinds of fresh black pepper. Mix with a spoon. Taste again!
MMM,..this is lovely enjoyed in good company with a good glass of red Cabernet Sauvignon wine like Australian's Jacob's Creek, Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, vintage 2006!!!!

Veterans Learn Skill To Join Civilian Workforce
Dan Cummings was in the Navy for five years including two tours in Iraq. Now, he's back in boot camp in the Rochester School District, "we're not getting yelled at, it's not early in the morning, and our lives aren't being completely controlled," explained Cummings, "so it's just more so learning, which is a big part of boot camp."
Cummings is one of 12 veterans taking a two week welding class. The class is being offered thanks to a partnership between the Veterans Outreach Center and the Rochester District, "there's so much to it, it's an art, it's more than just putting to metals together and welding it," said Maurice Howard, a veteran taking the class.
Howard spent two and a half years in the Navy as an operations specialist but has fallen on hard times, "I've been unemployed for a while, a good year," explained Howard, "had a lot of dead end jobs, tried to move up the ranks, it's really difficult."
The class is providing Veterans, like Maurice, an opportunity to land a job, "Rochester is all about manufacturing," explained Dan Collins who is teaching the class, "there's over 200 machine shops and manufacturing facilities in Rochester and all are looking for highly qualified people willing to work and learn."
After two weeks of putting torches to metal Dan and Maurice will graduate on Thursday. Both are optimistic about the future, "now I got some weight with me," said Howard, "so you know, not only do I have words, now I've got a nice beefy resume to back them up." Cummings added, "if a job is out there and I can find a good enough job, but ideally I would like to jump start my businesses and use those skills to improve on that."
The veterans will graduate on Thursday. They'll all get 12 business cards and portfolios, and employers and union leaders will be at the school for a career fair.

any advice would be much appreciated please
Hello, I am a student midwife, where I will graduate as a midwife in 7 shifts. I am writing because I am 34 years old and have been married for over a year, with plans in June of this year (2012) to fall pregnant (hopefully) as my biological clock keeps me up at night! The reason why I am writing is quite an unusual request, but I am currently in two minds where to have my baby when the time arises. I do not want to birth in the hospital that I currently work in as then the people that I work with will not only see my private parts when I birth, but they will also know my full background history, in which involves severe emotional and mental abuse during my childhood. I have also been bullied quite severely during my time at work as a student midwife so I dont want to risk the chance of the women who bullied me deliver my baby! I try to keep my private life very private, including my age, in which everyone at work thinks that I am 24! But actually I am not...and I dont want my friends at work to know about this. Any advice anyone can give to me would be very much appreciated; I live in the western sydney area and work in public health. I am considering private hospital care, yet I am in 2 minds about health insurance; is it worth it, etc?? Thank you and I look forward to hearing your replies.
p.s I am also weary of home birth, due to expense and the recent article in the news about a mum recently dying whilst giving birth at home...

Qualcomm Inc. and China United Telecommunications Co. Ltd. (China Unicom), China's second largest wireless operator, have established a joint-venture company to develop wireless data applications based on Qualcomm's BREW (Binary Runtime for Wireless Environments) platform.
The joint venture, Unicom-BREW Wireless Technologies Ltd., was created to develop applications, including games, location-based services and business applications, for China Unicom's CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) 2000 1X network. The joint-venture company will train and provide support for Chinese BREW developers, provide application testing services, operate a development lab, and work with Chinese universities to promote BREW as a development platform, the companies said in a statement.
China Unicom is betting heavily on CDMA2000 1X to boost its CDMA-based mobile service, which has lagged behind the company's GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) network in terms of the number of new subscribers. China Unicom is hoping that data services that take advantage of CDMA2000 1X's maximum download speed of 144K bps (bits per second) will help to drive adoption of CDMA among Chinese mobile users.
"The real question is when Unicom launches CMDA2000 1X," said Ted Dean, managing director at market analyst BDA China Ltd. "That's already been delayed."
Currently, China Unicom is expected to roll out its CDMA2000 1X service by the end of June but that may get pushed back into the second half of the year or be confined to the launch of services in a few major cities, Dean said.
Once the service is commercially available, China Unicom faces the challenge of enlisting the support of the development community in their efforts to roll out data-based services for the CDMA2000 1X network, he said. "To the extent they can get any help from Qualcomm is certainly good news for the company."
"This one joint venture won't solve all of their problems," Dean said.
Ownership of Unicom-BREW is evenly split between Qualcomm and China Unicom. Total investment in the joint venture was not disclosed but the two partners said they are investing tens of millions of renminbi (millions of U.S. dollars) in the new company.
In addition to BREW, China Unicom last year announced plans to work with Sun Microsystems Inc. to develop Java-based services for CDMA handsets. In a memorandum of understanding signed in November, the two companies agreed to work on developing a business model for the launch of such services.

With Ronnie Wood up for two gongs at the Sony Awards, for "rising star" and "music radio personality", Absolute Classic Rock must be classic-rocking with pleasure at their prescience in hiring him.
Weird, then, that their hottest new thing is so sorely misused.
It would be nice to endorse the lad, but on the evidence of Wednesday's Ronnie Wood Show – well, there wasn't much evidence. First, there was an over-run, then the news, then straight into "All Right Now", so he and his guest Flea, the engaging Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist, didn't speak for seven minutes. I settled back for 53 minutes of great music and fascinating reminiscence. They said there was a food theme, and after Flea fondly recalled the Louis Jordan mix-tape in the Peppers' tour bus, they played the jazz great's "Beans and Cornbread".
They followed that with "Cornbread" by Lee Morgan, and chatted about the trumpeter's untimely death, shot by his common-law wife between sets at Slug's jazz club in New York. And then .... For the next 40 minutes I think we heard Wood twice, and Flea not at all; they were both entirely absent for the last 20 minutes, and didn't even say goodbye. Instead the format was: "classic rock" track, station ident, track, ident, ads, track, ident. It was an odd way to treat a prized asset. And the music, apart from "Voodoo Chile" early on, was the likes of ELO, Pat Benatar and Simple Minds. What, no Zeppelin, Purple, Sabbath, er, Heep? Or any classic rock made by Wood himself? Bonkers. And on the minimal evidence, he sounds, with his husky, smoky, pleasure-ravaged voice, like a radio natural. What a waste.
Martin Sixsmith's 50-part Russia: The Wild East came too late for the Sonys; a pity, because it would be a shoo-in for the Sheer Listenability In A Proper, Serious Programme category. We were into the second week: Ivan the Awesome (as his epithet literally translates), Boris Godunov and the Romanovs.
It's the characters that bring it so brilliantly to life, people like Kuzma Minin, the butcher who raised an army to kick the Poles out of Moscow, or Yermak, who conquered Siberia for Ivan. The Awesome One thanked him with a suit of silver armour. During a skirmish he tried to escape across a river and sank under its weight.
Then there was Avvakum Petrov, head of the old church which resisted Orthodox reforms. He was exiled to Siberia, where he spent the last 14 years of his life in a pit gouged out of the frozen ground, before being burnt at the stake. "My excommunication? I trample it underfoot," he'd written. "And the curse they have put on me? I won't mince my words: I'll wipe my arse on it." His enemies, meanwhile, were "shitfaced pharisees wiping their backsides with hellfire." Heaven alone knows what he'd say about the dolts at Absolute Classic Rock.

Making her Monmouth Park turf debut, J'ray arrived with a big charge from mid-pack in the homestretch to win the $150,000 Taylor Made Matchmaker Stakes (gr. IIIT) (VIDEO) going away for jockey Joe Bravo Aug. 3.
The 5-year-old New York-bred mare notched her third grade III victory for owner and breeder Lawrence Goichman and conditioner Todd Pletcher. J'ray completed the the 1 1/8-mile test for fillies and mares in an excellent time of 1:46.39 over firm going. Overlooked in the evenly matched nine-horse field, J'ray went off at odds of 5-1.
The Taylor Made Matchmaker was one of three graded stakes on a Monmouth Park Haskell program that included seven stakes overall.
J'ray was held up at the rear of the pack for much of the journey as front-running Eclisse provided a good pace (:24, :47 3/5, 1:12 2/5) while leading her rivals all the way into the far turn. After moving into position around the turn while racing off the rail, Bravo angled J'ray to the far outside for the drive and the daughter of Distant View responded with a strong kick for home.
She swept past favored Paris Winds to get the lead inside the furlong pole and opened up daylight. J'ray finished 1 3/4 lengths in front of Dyna's Lassie, who edged Cozzi Capital by a neck for the runner-up slot.
"This filly ran awesome today," Bravo said. "At the three-eighths pole I started to ask her, and she picked it up unbelievably. She ran by those horses like they were fence posts."
The Irish-bred Paris Winds, the 2-1 choice ridden by Kent Desormeaux, finished fourth after making an early move to get the lead.
J'ray snapped a five-race losing streak since she won the My Charmer Handicap (gr. IIIT) at Calder Race Course Dec. 1. In her most recent race, the chestnut faded to fifth after making a mild bid on the outside in the All Along Breeders' Cup (gr. IIIT) at Colonial June 21. J'ray improved her career mark to 8-6-1 in 22 starts with earnings of $686,889. All but two of J'ray's races have been on grass courses.
J'ray, who is out of the Darshaan mare Bubbling Heights, carried 116 pounds to victory and paid $12.80, $5.80 and $3.80. Dyna's Love, who has run first or second in her last seven starts for trainer Douglas Fout, returned $7.40 and $5.20 with Carlos Marquez Jr. aboard. The $2 exacta was worth $100 even. Cozzi Capital, ridden by Daniel Coa, was $13.60 to show.
Paris Winds, group III place in Ireland and seeking her first stakes win in the U.S. for trainer Bill Mott, was one length farther behind in fourth. She was followed by second choice Social Queen, Eclisse and Waquoit's Love. Dancing Band and Prop Me Up finished in a dead heat for eighth.

Guest Author - Mary Ann Graziani
Encourage reading and teach children about their home state with a state themed Reading month. First you will need to create a classroom library of at least 40 state books. Choose books at various reading levels and include books written by state authors, have settings in the state, are about a state topic, or about a famous person from your state.
Choose four state books from the class library and plan four learning activities for the class based on those books. The teacher will prepare four learning activities based on four books chosen from the state library. Make a calendar with the book and activity for the week on a calendar and post outside the classroom door for parents to sign up. Four parent volunteers will be needed to read and help out for reading month. The activities that the teacher prepares to go with the book will be fun. Students will also be very excited to have a family member in their classroom. Family members will have the opportunity to read and participate in this event to support literacy and learn more about their home state. The reading month will be an authentic literature unit because students will be making a useful and meaningful book to share based on what they have read. All the work is collected from each learning activity will be used to create a state book. The book should contain interesting facts, symbols, notable travel destinations, and the state song. Make learning activities that will produce pages for the book based on those ideas and any other interesting information about the home state that you would like to add.
Create a reading log so that students can pick a book from the library to bring home and read to a parent. What could be better than reading aloud to a family member? Hopefully this will create a loving routine that parents and kids can do together throughout the week after the reading event is over. Students will check one library book at a time from the state book classroom library to bring home to read to a parent or guardian. When the student has finished reading the book to a parent or guardian they will record the book on the form and have it signed by the family member they read it to. Once the student has read five books over the month, they return the form to the teacher. The teacher can plan give state themed prizes to reward students for reading the five books in order to encourage reading.
You will need to design a flyer to send to families and posters to decorate the classroom walls. The flyers should let the families know that you are promoting reading in the classroom and all the details about the event.
A Few State Themed Lesson Plan Ideas:
Volunteer reads a state book aloud. Students split into groups with each group making an acrostic poem about based on what they learned from the read aloud. Each letter of their state should represent something about their state. Collect each acrostic poem to be used as the first pages of the book.
Another activity would be for students to independently read a book about their home state and write a book review. Book reviews will include a summary of the story, their recommendation of the book, and a picture from a scene in the book. Collect the book reviews to be used as pages which will be included in the state book.
Volunteer will read aloud a book to class about activities to do in their state and then review some travel guides. They will make their own travel guides. The students will split into groups or pairs with each group making a one page travel flyer for a particular popular destination in their state. These pages will be the next pages in the book.
Teacher will have students listen to the state song and then parent volunteer can read the lyrics of the song to students aloud. Many lyrics to state songs can be found on the Internet. Practice singing the song together and then teacher and students will brainstorm a large list of words that describe or apply to their state. Split students up into groups and they can work together to make their own rap song using the list of words that were brainstormed. Song lyrics and student rap songs lyrics will be included in the to book.
Read aloud a book about facts and symbols of home state. Students will then work in groups to make pages about the following symbols of their state: State bird, state stone, state tree, state fish, state flower, state flag, state coat of arms. These pages will be included in the state book.
Additional Activities for Reading Month
Students can make an audio book by taping themselves reading a state book. They can then send the recording to grandparents, family members, or family friends who will love it!
When students are done reading books,write its title and author on a link in a construction paper chain and hang on the walls. Have students write draw a picture of their favorite characters or parts on the paper link.

How Your Business Can Create a Successful Homepage
When it comes to your website homepage, first impressions are critical. Visitors, unfortunately, judge your site almost instantaneously. You have roughly ten seconds, at best, to capture a visitor's attention. In a short time, your homepage must be well designed, intelligent and usable.
You can spend hours, days, even years perfecting your website, but in a few simple steps, you can have a stellar homepage, if you get these right.
Answer Who, What, and Why
Most businesses have to make the answers to these questions abundantly clear in order maintain a visitor's attention, a seemingly impossible feat. You want site visitors to feel they've come to the right place, and they want to know immediately this is true. They don't want to think about it or hunt for answers.
Mint.com does this very cleanly, especially because the company name could mean anything from a plant to a candy to coining money. You can see straight away on the homepage:
- Who the company is: a financial tool
- What it does: helps organize your spending
- Why it does it: so you can see where your money goes and feel good about your purchase decisions
Speak to An Emotional Need
There are some jargon words I could use to describe this, such as target audience and value proposition, but instead, I want to explain what they mean for your homepage and why these are important.
People who should buy from you but haven't yet (prospects) want to know exactly why your business should matter to them. What's the benefit? Why does anyone care about you? What is the main reason someone will buy from you or use your service? These are hard questions to ask, but very important ones. Success can stem from understanding the psychology behind good website content.
Evernote, like Mint.com, makes it the value evident – Remember everything. Who wouldn't want to remember everything or to collect and find what matters?
Usability and a Call to Action
Another critical part of your homepage is to have a clear call to action, or next step for your visitor to go. For Mint and Evernote, it's sign up, but it could easily be buy now, request a free consultation, get started, or see how it works, all depending on what you are offering.
The foremost goal of your homepage is to compel visitors to click through and learn more about your business. The last thing you want to do is overwhelm your visitors with a lot of clutter. There are plenty of other elements of great web design, but the key goal is to lead visitors to an action.
Once you have their attention, don't waste it. Send them somewhere, guide them down the purchase path. Or if your message is to bring awareness to a cause, lead them to the reasons why support is necessary.
However you decide to layout your navigation or build your website, understand that your homepage is the most important entry point for potential customers. With these tips, you've already made the first step toward building a great website.

HSPPR Pet of the Day: Sam
By HSPPR On June 11, 2013 · 1 Comment · In A Big Something, Humane Society, Pet of the Day
Hi there! I'm a 7-year-old neutered white and orange longhair. I might seem a little shy at first, but I am very affectionate, and once I am comfortable, there is nowhere I'd rather be than in your lap! In fact, this cuddle bug loves being held, and I will wrap my paws around your neck for a hug anytime. I'm a Private Investigator in HSPPR's Feline-ality program, which means I will do best in a quiet household. But I am also independent, so I will be ok if you are out of the house for long periods of time. If you need a handsome little snuggler at your house, come get me today!
My adoption fee is FREE because I'm one of this week's Hand-Picked Cats! You will still get a voucher for a veterinarian exam, vaccinations, 45 days of pet health insurance, and a microchip. BUT, June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, and HSPPR wants to get me and all my kitty friends into fantastic new homes! So visit hsppr.org/match to take our Meet Your Match quiz to find your ideal kitty personality. Bring in your quiz results, and you can take me or one of my kitty friends home for FREE the entire month of June!
