Not at luxurious but if you want a good place to sleep that is downtown Oakville this might work for you. Wireless, kitchenette, 2 big beds, continental... breakfast, newspaper. Underground overnight parking is a block away is not too expensive. We found downtown Oakville quite dead even on Friday night although there are a few restaurants within a short walk. The beer and liquor stores are nearby. The manager was not in when we arrived so we had to wait for about 10 minutes to check in to our room so I'd advise you to call ahead to make sure someone will be there if you're arriving late.

1,000 Foot Free Power Line Extension
In the past, to encourage growth, landowners were not charged by APS for the first $25,000 of costs to extend power lines to their properties.

Critics say this has unfairly lowered property values and negatively impacted Arizona's economy.

Lunsford Lane: A Slave in North Carolina Who Buys His Freedom
Lunsford Lane's story is about a slave who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. Though his master owns as many as three plantations outside of Raleigh, Mr. Lane is not a plantation slave. Rather, he works for his master in the city-dwelling. His story provides an example of an ingenious, determined, and disciplined slave who's vision and creativity affords him the opportunity to earn money and eventually buy his freedom. This is an incredible story.

Female desert bighorn sheep in the Sonora desert
Desert bighorn sheep use a lot of energy to regulate their internal temperature in the desert. During the summer the sheep eat plants and drink water every few days. In the winter, desert plants contain enough water for sheep survival.
Efficiency of a water heating system
Students use a watt meter to measure energy input into a hot plate or hot pot used to heat water. The theoretical amount of energy required to raise the water by the measure temperature change is calculated and compared to the electrical energy input to calculate efficiency.

Martorano said he flew to Oklahoma, picked up a suitcase with machine guns, revolvers and masks that had been shipped from Boston via Greyhound bus, and shot Wheeler between the eyes. Callahan was so grateful he paid his friend $50,000.
But when trusted FBI contact John Connolly indicated that Callahan was going to be pressured by the government to testify about the murder, the Winter Hill partners, with Martorano outvoted, decided it was too risky for Callahan to live.
"I felt lousy but these were my partners. We were up to our necks in murders already," Martorano testified.
He said he arranged to meet Callahan in Florida, picking him up at the airport and helping him with his bags. Then as Callahan got into the front seat, Martorano got in behind and shot his friend in the head.
"I felt really bad. I'd just killed a man I'd risked my life for in Oklahoma," he testified.
Asked by the prosecutor whether he regretted his life of crime, Martorano responded, "Who wouldn't?"
During Martorano's testimony, Bulger sat ramrod straight and kept his eyes focused ahead, barely moving. Bulger turned his head, seeming to look at his former friend sitting just six feet away, only when Martorano said he learned Bulger was an FBI informant.

Macia Real De La Alhambra Hotel Granada Guest Reviews (22)
We enjoyed staying at this hotel. All rooms are well-appointed, with everything you could require - space, ample cupboard space, and an excellent bathroom. All rooms have good light, and good views. The receptionist was extremely informative, helpful, and spoke at least 5 languages. The hotel is about 2km from town, but is not isolated as, first, the No.33 bus stop is outside and you rarely have to wait fo the bus.and, secondly, there is a good bar and restaurant a few doors away.
Barone wrote on December 1, 2012
Location is neither city centre nor Alhambra, but both are reasonably easy to reach by bus or cab. the hotel is right at the end of the ring road so you can't miss it, which is a plus given the narrow street you find in the city centres normally. Rooms were big and ok. beds were soft but acceptable. We stayed 2 nights and would in fact come back for the convenience of the location.

We were there for 2 nights. The air condition didn't work. We complaint 4-5 times until they fixed it. Breakfast was good, room was good and modern.

We got a fantastic deal on bed and breakfast for three at this hotel. Our room had a balcony - a real bonus. Good breakfast buffet and convenient for the Alhambra as we had a car, but since there is a bus stop virtually at the hotel and in view of the fact that taxis aren't expensive it would also be good for anyone reliant on public transport. Free shuttle bus into town at 11:00am and back at 1:00pm so you can save some money if you want, but we were the only people on it.

To protect little fingers when packing
Quick to grab for a departure gate dash
Take control, grab the horns and steer your Trunki

Prevent over-excited tots from toppling off

Good value for money. The cases make the girls feel grown up and included in the holiday. They even take care of their clothes when packing!
It is very good product in very good price. My little one is more than happy to pack her stuff and go on holiday with her new toy!
My daughter LOVES it, my husband is taking bets as to how long we will be on holiday before I wish we had a backpack instead. The cornering is quite wide, which might prove expensive going through duty free. The quality isn't amazing but then it's not very expensive so you get what you pay for. they need a horse design!
Great case, my 2 year old loves it already. She has been towing it around the house all week and we've not gone anywhere yet! Super fast delivery too.

I disagree. Tablets seem to be optimized for content consumption, not creation.
that's what people in the industry kept saying when the ipad came out, and I used to believe in that. "it's for consumption on the sofa". which is definitely true, media consumption on a tablet is an incredible experience; people should just try it it's awesome.
this stuff, though, was also said of the personal computer thirty years ago (except not with the "consumption/creation" terms): "it's too small, not powerful enough, not connected enough to do real work on it. at most you can play with some game".
let's just remember that the tablet market doesn't really exist: right now, it's the ipad market; and Apple has released media creation applications on it, with different user interaction models. others will start copying them soon, and miss the point by about a thousand miles: it's a new device, and it's finding its footing, and exposing new interaction models along the way. copying Apple, or trying to port desktop applications as they are to it it's not going to work.
you cannot write an Excel sheet on a tablet. only Microsoft thinks you can, but they also thought that the biggest appeal for Windows Mobile 6 was being able to edit a spreadsheet on a QVGA 2.4" phone screen (according to their adverts), so they don't really count.
the fact that you can't edit a spreadsheet on a tablet could mean that you just simply won't be able to do it, or (and I believe it's more likely) that the spreadsheet user interaction model has to be changed to take into account a touchscreen and direct manipulation of data. what we call a spreadsheet on the desktop might be a completely different experience on a tablet and you could still transparently migrate documents from one device to the other.
so I don't believe any more to the "it's a media consumption device" mantra. it's just what people say before others come up with something really cool.
Same interface?
Posted Aug 25, 2011 14:48 UTC (Thu) by tshow (subscriber, #6411) [Link]
Speaking as someone who's done some iphone/ipad development, it really is a media consumption device first. The problems:
- screen keyboards suck for extended use - bluetooth keyboards/mice are a negligible presence - there are few hardware buttons, and you may not have access to them - touch interaction is weak
The weakness of touch interaction is a particular problem. There are three main things that make the touch interaction suboptimal:
First, you have no context. There is "touch down" and nothing else. No "left click" vs. "right click", no pressure sensitivity, no angle detection, no "hover", no cursor position when there isn't a finger down. The only context you can have is multitouch, but that only improves things slightly, and it causes its own problems:
- two points approach each other, meet, and move back apart. Did they pass through each other, or bounce off each other? There's no way for the hardware to know.
- two points approach each other, meet, and then one of them disappears. Which one disappeared? There's no way for the hardware to know.
- you can't easily have multiple gestures occurring at the same time unless they're happening in compartmentalized parts of the screen that you've pre-defined
Second, your finger obscures whatever you're touching. Unlike an indirect device like a mouse or trackpad, with a touchscreen you can never see the point on the screen that you're activating.
Third, touch coordinates are very loose. Even if you touch the screen very gently, there's a 5mm or so diameter circle that's touched, and the touch coordinate the OS reports could be anywhere within (or near!) that point. On a first generation ipad, I've had touch coordinates come in completely offscreen (ie: out in negative coordinates, somewhere on the bezel) when touching a spot that was near the edge of the screen.
Things get better if you have a stylus, but not enough people have a stylus that you can actually count on it.
There's a reason the gestures are all large movements.
So, you've got sloppy, imprecise "mouse" input, weak text input, and some vaguely useful (but mostly unsuitable for content creation) inputs like the accelerometers.
You *can* produce content with current tablets; it's like producing fine art with crayons. Feasible for the talented, but a chore and done mostly for the novelty of the process. Much more of a chore than doing the same thing with (say) a laptop. Perhaps future tablets will tighten up their input systems, but until that happens tablets are going to remain mostly unsuitable for all but the most trivial of content generation; the kind where poking a few onscreen buttons does all the work.

That's why Apple's stuff is all aggressively single-tasking; their base assumption is that the device is a swiss army knife of gadgets, and like a swiss army knife it's only good for one thing at a time, and it only has to be ok at any given thing as long as it does everything passably.
We're really feeling this in the game industry, because the iphone seems to be gutting the handheld console market. Why carry around a 3DS or a PSP when you've already got your iphone?
One of the places I think free software has an opportunity in this space is with more technical stuff; if a tablet plus a small arduino dongle could give you (say) a credible portable high-res oscilloscope, for instance, there's a set of people who would find that invaluable. Or something you could hook up to weather monitoring hardware. Or other arbitrary "unsanctioned" devices.
Posted Aug 25, 2011 18:01 UTC (Thu) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625) [Link]
For a lot of devices, it's cheaper to put a mini web server on it than to design the needed physical controls and display. You could sell hardware, publish the REST API to control it, and optionally sponsor some of the tablet app projects that use the API. Test equipment and weather stations are two good ones, also lab equipment such as PCR machines, high-end printers, A/V gear, etc.
Posted Aug 30, 2011 15:01 UTC (Tue) by carlleigh (guest, #79395) [Link]
At home I want the same device to hook up to my 24 inch display either by HDMI or micro USB. No Bluetooth I like speed and efficiency. Bluetooth requires several transceivers and I'd like to save the power when I'm on the road for a more energy efficient micro USB keyboard.
I want my tablet to do everything. I've got a spreed sheet program which works reasonably well. I don't need Microsoft...........
Nobody really needs Microsoft. (Tablets must really have them shaking!)
CPU and GPU Processors for small devices will improve quickly. Batteries will get small and cheaper. What do I need the old workstation for when my tablet frankly can do it all. I love empty pockets one device to rule it all.
5 billion of the worlds people really can afford all the eye candy. Powerful Desktop. Tablet. Mobile Phone. Land Line for data. etc .etc. etc. But they can afford what will be coming in the tablet space and wireless networking.

The first time these two met in a Grand Slam quarterfinal, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga ended a long-standing Roger Federer record and, more importantly, defeated him in a memorable five-set comeback.
It was the Wimbledon 2011 quarterfinals, and Federer had won the first two sets and was expected to win the match; after all he was 178-0 after winning the first two sets in Grand Slam matches.
But records are made to be broken, and that's just what the enigmatic Frenchman did, taking the next three sets 6-4 6-4 6-4 to move through to the semifinals. For the record, Tsonga fell to Novak Djokovic, who went on to defeat Rafael Nadal in the final.
Coming back from two sets down to win is the kind of match that makes the victor smile to themselves when they think about it. No doubt memories of this match will pass through both players' minds at some point on Wednesday, and Federer's recollections won't be happy ones.
The second seed here, Federer's first week in Melbourne has been resoundingly good. A picture of consistency, Federer has treated each opponent to a different aspect of his enviable game each match.
There was a serving exhibition for Milos Raonic, a reminder not to get too far ahead of yourself for Bernard Tomic, some clean winners for Nikolay Davydenko and a lesson in the importance of consistency for Benoit Paire.
Meanwhile, Tsonga has been busily going about his business; his most impressive win to date a four-set defeat of ninth seed and countryman Richard Gasquet in the fourth round. Tsonga has arguably had a softer draw than Federer, not that this will do him any harm on Wednesday night.
The Frenchman's record against Federer, like it is for most players, is in the red. He's won just three of 11 matches, and on the one occasion these two met here – in 2010 – the Swiss accounted for Tsonga in straight sets, a memory that will certainly bring a smile to Federer's face.
"It's going to be, of course, very difficult. He beat me here once or twice – no, once," said Tsonga.
"But, anyway, I lost many times against this guy. So, of course, you know, play against him, it's going to be, you know, a big challenge for me.
"I think when I play against him, you need a plan because if you just play like this with him, you will lose for sure."
And that plan must be built around the seventh seed's serve. Tsonga must serve well if he's to stand a chance – this was the case at Wimbledon when his serve was on fire.
On the other side of the net, Federer, who has been serving exceptionally well, will be looking to keep that going – he hasn't been broken once.
"Not having played any tournaments before, this is obviously a great thing I have going," said Federer.
"But I go into matches expecting to be broken. The more you talk about it, the more so you're going to be broken."
Another thing that hasn't been broken is Federer's consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal record, now up to 35.
"I'm happy to be in another one," he said after the romp over Raonic.
"I didn't actually think about it once when I was on court. I was thinking about it before the Tomic match, for some reason. Does it drive me? I don't know, I'm not sure. It's a nice record to have. Obviously as it's ongoing, you try to keep working at it."
And should the former No.1 keep playing the way he has to date, there's every chance he'll add to his Grand Slam tournament record this Sunday.

D A+F Parking: I have heard that parking is a hassle.
C A+F Parking: You can find parking if you want it. There are student parking lots but permits are pricey. I'd say if you don't need a car, don't bring it (especially for your freshman/sophomore year). You don't need it to get around campus or go into Westwood and traffic sucks in LA anyway.
D A+F Parking: Don't expect to park. Per day parking permits are $11. Quarterly parking permits are by a lottery, and cost abou $200 for 20 weeks
C A+F Parking: I don't have a car but I have heard that it's somewhat difficult getting a parking spot especially to class.

One thing UCLA is not world-renowned for is parking. Students must apply for passes early in each quarter, and they are awarded based on factors such as employment and commuter zip codes. High class standing and a job are needed to secure a parking spot, but spaces are harder to come by than clouds in the LA sky. Many students are experts at faking the forms by pretending to have jobs and reaping the rewards, but since forgery is not encouraged, hit-or-miss parking can be found on Westwood side streets.
If you commute to UCLA, you can apply for the Carpool Parking Permit, which gives priority parking at a cheaper rate. Anyone can buy a night parking pass, which is good every day after 4 p.m. and all weekend. Still, the fact that Bruins can't find reliable parking at their own school is horrible. Daily non-permit parking on campus is $7, and after 8 a.m., you have to park in the lot off campus. There are also campus parking meters, but they only allow parking up to two hours—and good luck finding one during daylight hours. UCLA also loses major points for starting the free parking time on campus at 9 p.m.—and, unfortunately, these free spaces are only effective for extracurricular activities. But, really, what did you expect from a school in the heart of Los Angeles?

What is a BARGAIN Item?
Bargain items can be brand-new products that our buyers have purchased from publishers at incredibly low prices. We pass these savings - sometimes as much as 80% off an item's list price - along to you.
Bargain items can also be publisher overstocks or other special purchases, so there might be a few scratches, marks or dented corners. There might also be a sticker on the item from the publisher. Regardless, Books-A-Million does not ship defective items.
Our selection of bargain books changes hourly, and quantities are limited, so shop now and shop often. Due to unpredictable demand, it is possible for us to oversell the available quantity of a bargain item. In such cases, we will promptly cancel your order and your credit card will not be charged.
OverviewWhat is a Hero? New York Times best-selling author Oliver North says, "Real heroes are selfless. Those who serve America in harm's way in the war against radical Islam have that quality in abundance. And so do their families and loved ones at home. Yet, they rarely get the attention or coverage they deserve.
"Despite the way they are presented by too many in the press and politics, the men and women in uniform today are overwhelmingly "good," I never cease to be amazed at the self-discipline of these brave young Americans. They can endure the adrenaline-pumping violence of an enemy engagement, and then, just minutes later, help school children get safely to their classes . . . No nation--ours included--has ever had a military force better than the one we have today. I'm proud of them. You should be too."
In "American Heroes," North addresses issues of defense against global terrorism, Jihad, and radical Islam from his firsthand perspective as a decorated military officer and national security advisor and current Middle East war correspondent. This patriotic book also pulls in new reports and exclusive full-color photographs from "War Stories," the award-winning FOX News Channel series hosted by North.
Ambitious in scope, "American Heroes" details the earliest terrorism faced by the United States in the 1800s at the hands of the Barbary Pirates, the major terrorist group developments of the 1970s and 80s, and, most vividly, the post-9/11 Iraq War era. Most inspiringly, North's up-close field notes highlight the core values of today's American soldier in relation to the fight at hand: courage, commitment, compassion, and faith. Thank God for freedom. Thank God for American heroes.
"Oliver North has spent his life among America's heroes. This book with its moving words and powerful images will inspire patriots, reassure the faint of heart, and infuriate our nation's adversaries. These are our heroes, they deserve to have their story told, and no one is better to tell it than Col. North, because when it comes to heroes, it takes one to know one. This book is a treasure." --Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House of Representatives and "New York Times" bestselling author of "Real Change ""Ollie North has 'been there--done that' with the American heroes who are winning the war against radical Islamic terror. This book is a magnificent tribute to the warriors who defend us all." --Sean Hannity, host of "The Sean Hannity Show" and FOX News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes

Senate and House negotiators reportedly stripped out billions of dollars in tax cuts for big telcos, including Verizon Communications, Inc., and AT&T, from the compromise $789-billion stimulus package that were included in the Senate version to spur expansion of broadband coverage into rural areas.
The Senate money measure had called for 10 percent tax credits for companies that increased Internet service in pockets where it exists but is scarce and a 20 percent tax breaks for building new networks in currently unserved parts of the country. The House bill did not contain any plan for tax credits.
Still in the package: $7.2 billion in grants for mid-sized and small telcos and cable companies "that need an extra push to build out from their current markets," Dow Jones Newswires reports. The measure authorizes both the Commerce Department and the Department of Agriculture to dole out the funds, with the latter expected to favor small rural carriers looking to extend Internet services to their entire markets.
Some analysts say that broadband grants will fall short of lawmakers' goal to provide high-speed Internet access to the entire nation.
"Tax credits are the way to go if we're going to do this," says Robert Crandall, senior fellow in economic studies with the Brookings Institute, a Washington, D.C., think tank. "Otherwise it's dumping more money into these small rural telecos, and there's very little evidence is that the $4.2 billion a year they already get (in government subsidies) has any effect on service."
The key to making the proposed grant system work is ensuring terms of the loans and grants are enforced, but it's unclear that the small and mid-sized companies expected to receive the federal funds have the means to quickly expand broadband coverage in the way that the stimulus package promises, Crandall says. "The idea that we should be telling little rural telephone companies to build out sophisticated communications system is unwise," he says.
The compromise stimulus legislation also includes $19 billion to modernize health information technology systems. This amount was slightly less than the $20 billion the House had proposed, but a significant jump from the $3 billion the Senate had proposed allocating to meet President Obama's goal of computerizing all medical records within five years.
Yesterday's deal also calls for $11 billion to modernize the electric grid and to promote smart-grid technology that gives people real-time information about their energy. The House had wanted $32 billion to transform the nation's energy transmission, distribution, and production systems through smart-grid, while the Senate's version of the bill included $4.5 billion for this work. The White House has stated that it wants 3,000 miles of new or modernized transmission lines and 40 million smart meters installed across the U.S.
If Obama gets the bill as is, it will allocate $5 billion in "weatherization" money to help low-income households make their homes more energy efficient, while another $4.5 billion will be spent on the repair of federal buildings to increase energy efficiency using green technology. The House had wanted $6.2 billion for weatherization and $6.7 billion for renovations and repairs to federal buildings while the Senate initially proposed $2.9 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. The compromise legislation also includes $6 billion for local clean and drinking water projects. This amount was similar to the Senate's initial proposal and more than what the House was planning to request.
Both the House and Senate are expected to vote on the compromise and get the legislation to Obama's desk by Presidents' Day, The Washington Post reports. Each chamber will only be allowed to okay or nix the bill, but will not be allowed to amend it.

We need a discussion on the F2P pay model of MWO right now. Nobody actually believes this game is going to be financed through only cosmetic items.
Posted 01 November 2011 - 07:19 PM
So, we need to have a mature discussion on this, right now. If they turn this game into a 'pay for mechs' game, somewhat similar to World of Tanks where you pay for better ammunition, I daresay you are going to turn off much of the Battletech/Mechwarrior fanbase, along with many others who have the potential to be fans.
We want strategy and skilled combat, we don't have ANY interest in paying to win. Period.
However, I do understand the game needs to make money to succeed. I am willing to pay money, because I want to see this game succeed too.
The F2P idea has a merit: It lets large numbers of people in to both try the game, and to fill up the population, giving the world more of a persistent, alive feel. So I think it could be kept.
My proposal is this: The only thing that can be bought to gain an advantage is a monthly subscription. Increase XP gained by 20% or whatnot, and some other advantages that don't ***** over free players too much. There is a balance to be had here, and it needs to be discussed and decided upon sooner rather than later.
If this game goes down the 'pay to win' route, it will fail. We need to maturely discuss how this game can generate revenue without going down the dark side, and we need to let the publishers know how we feel about this.
Any other ideas?
Posted 01 November 2011 - 07:33 PM
I want to play this, and I will if it's good, and the F2P is handled well. But delaying is just making it look like you don't want us to know the details.....
Posted 01 November 2011 - 07:37 PM
Posted 01 November 2011 - 07:44 PM
World of Tanks not just makes money on ammunition types and premium tanks, but the type of "subscription" that they offer. Pay for some gold, then take your gold and buy days/weeks/month of premium account. With the premium account you get fifty percent more XP and In-Game credits.
I could very well see this working for Mechwarrior. And if the Publisher could afford it, seeing a premium c-bills card for $20 at a pharmacy or Wal-Mart would be very nice.

I imagine three basic plans:
A monthly subscription that provides access to all paid content for a monthly fee.
Selected content, that a user buys piecemeal
and users who play the game entirely for free.
Paid content can include:
Larger Lance Size
Private Games/Servers
Prize Tournaments
Exclusive Mechs
Custom Mech Painter
Guild/Clan Support
Faster Repair Times
Faster In Game Currency collection
More Avatar options
physical items, like a dog tag that has a QR code for the account or something
Additional Game modes, like a persistent Map Campaign
Unlimited friend list/larger VOIP party size
Access to all cosmetic options
And you could pay for any one of those services individually as well, or none at all.
Posted 01 November 2011 - 08:06 PM
Premium subscribers go to the front of the login queue. Or to the front of the mission queue to form groups but that might annoy more players than its worth.
Posted 01 November 2011 - 08:08 PM
Posted 01 November 2011 - 08:09 PM
I can see limiting free players to only certain mechs , running only so many missions/contracts per day , limiting skill levels ,etc.
This added to the cosmetic customizations has made LoL a big success .
It could definitely happen for MWO.
Posted 01 November 2011 - 08:11 PM
Things I don't want to pay $ for:
1. Mech refit and repair
2. Armor and Ammo
3. Basic weapons.
4. Maps (this restricts the player base.)
5. Drop Fees
Also any costs that might be incurred during each battle since this also restricts gameplay.
Discuss, but I have log off until later.

This. They made it pretty clear that the F2P model isn't going to ruin the gameplay for those who elect not to spend money. They specifically mentioned League of Legends as their reference for the F2P model, so I'm guessing that you will be able to pay for stuff like cosmetic enhancements, unlocking better mechs/armor/weapons/parts instantly instead of having to grind for them in gameplay, and possibly (POSSIBLY) access to more variety when it comes to things like maps.
My guess is that besides cosmetic enhancements, you will be able to unlock/use any mech/weapon/etc in the game just by playing a lot (grinding), or you can take the easy route and just pay for these unlocks.
It would be very good for the developers to clarify the nature of the F2P model used by MWO though, if only to dispel the inevitable trolling and fearmongering about the F2P model. The FAQ is rather vague and the quote referenced above comes from one of the recent PC Gamer articles.

Upgrades are purchased by whatever game currency is, which is earned with respect to time played,achievements earned, and/or purchased in blocks. F2P users can earn only so much, limited upgrades, capped achievements, limited mech use. Users who purchase the game are given greater freedom of choice, limited only by exotic upgrades. Monthly donation subscribers will have the closest link to the design team which can work in parallel with the users to create new content for the game, each sharing credit for the creation in equal parts.
Las Mech Vegas. Allow for users the chance to place bets on matches, with a real money or game currency buy-in, while payout is only in game currency.
Pink Slip Duel. Challenge a mechwarrior and his variant to an ownership duel, last one standing claims the mech of the defeated. With option for the defeated to purchase back the value of the mech from the victor.
Clan Variant purchase. A clan may supply their mechwarriors with a custom mech for purchase, this mech will be used solely by the originating clan. If large quantities of variants are purchase the unit purchase price is reduced. Clans may exchange Clan Variants at a cost.

This way, those who want to/can afford to support the game financially can, and those who can't can be in the game playing, supporting the game by helping to populate it (and trust me, an active population is a key selling point, they'd be doing their part by investing time).

Here are some April Fools' pranks celebrities pulled yesterday.
Justin Bieber tweeted this to his 37 million followers: "As promised taking all fan phone calls TODAY at (888) 847-9869. Talk to u soon!" That number is TMZ's tip line and their phone hasn't stopped ringing since.
Mike Tyson tweeted: "At the doctor's office this morning. Getting this tattoo removed from my face. This is going to be painful." But two hours later, the boxing legend had to admit to his joke. "OK. April Fools. There is no #GoodbyeMikeTysonTattoo. This tattoo is with me forever."
Snooki tweeted a photo of herself wearing a lace gown and diamond-encrusted tiara, with the caption: "Jionni and I eloped! Here's a pic of the magical day!"
Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham, who was arrested for a DUI in March, joked that she's adopting -- at least we hope she was joking. "Big day for Sophia & I," she tweeted. "Were adopting a baby brother, Sophie is super excited xo! Adopting is a #blessing."
Even the White House got in on the fun, tweeting, "This morning, the White House released a special video message from the President," along with a link to a YouTube video. But it wasn't President Obama in the video. It was "kid president" Robbie Novak, who appeared on-screen. "It looks like you were expecting someone else," the little politician said.

text: WelcomeFor over 64 years, Rupp Seeds has been in business selling seed and seed care products to farmers and producers. Our goal is to help our customers realize success by first achieving a healthy plant stand, which is a key milestone in producing a crop. Our extensive product selection will help producers answer that first critical question - Which variety should I plant? Naturally, this is a more complicated question than just simply picking a variety. Management practices, history of disease and insect pressure, and geography are also factors in variety selection. We believe that our emphasis on research, product development, and product sourcing makes it possible for us to offer our customers the best hybrid and variety selections available. Please call us for recommendations on product selection and crop production that meet your specific marketplace opportunities and management practices. As we continue to work on our web site, we hope it will become a tool that our customers can use in making their variety selections. For now, it can introduce you to our company and provide a means for you to contact our sales staff with specific product questions. Please take a moment to browse around and let us know what we can do to improve the usefulness of our site.

Dog CLOTHES Sizing for perfect fit
Please choose our clothing according to your dog's measurements, not the clothing size. The items we carry are from various designers, so basic sizes should not be the sole basis for a purchase. We highly suggest that you read all sizing information for each piece of clothing VERY carefully to ensure that you get the correct fit for your pooch, and avoid any costly return shipping fees. If you have any questions, please E-Mail us and we will be happy to help you pick out the perfect size. In order to find out the right size of clothing that will fit your dog you need to take accurate measurements. Please make sure your dog is standing, and use measuring tape as follows:
