Most of lawn is centipede, very low maintenance, no fertilizer, no pests, very drought resistant mowing required only every two weeks. The rest of lawn is St. Augustine grass. This would be best with more fertilizer, but is also very drought resistant and can take much abuse. It has some die back if we get winter temperatures below 5 degrees, but we haven't had temperatures that low in several years. I have not fertilized at all in 5 years, but I do use a mulching mower which leaves fine grass debris in the lawn which is my fertilizer.

This presents you with research and collaboration opportunities that are richer and more productive than you may have dared to even imagine. I ask you to imagine your desire now. And I ask that you place that desire in the context of the Pagan River and the consortium proposed in the letters to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission and Smithfield Packing that are published at http://www.ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/SaveVa80mmYr. Obviously there are significant assumptions and contingencies to be resolved. Whatever you contribute to resolving those quandaries will make the consortium more likely to be fruitful. Given confirmed plausibility of various scientific assumptions I will seek participation from various industries: steel, cement, water treatment, hog, and pulp. Should you desire that your response be published on that web site, only then I will do so. The potential topics for research funding are not just Calcium Carbonate fertilization of shellfish and sea-grass but include the following and more: 1) Iron effluent treatment for phosphate precipitation and fertility balancing 2) Calcium effluent treatment for phosphate precipitation and fertility balancing 3) Iron treatment of animal waste lagoons for bottom sealing 4) Iron treatment of animal waste lagoons for ammonia to nitrate species shift and increased nutrient salvage 5) Calcium treatment of animal waste lagoons for ammonia to nitrate species shift and increased nutrient salvage 6) Animal waste lagoon economic optimization and its effect on odor 7) Pre incident treatment of streams for increased resilience to waste lagoon accidents 8) Post incident treatment of streams for increased resilience to waste lagoon accidents 9) Animal waste lagoon management for nutrient balance of outputs, effects on stream resilience to waste lagoon accidents 10) Typical cost to earth moving construction imposed by erosion and water absorption and the effectiveness of avoiding those costs by white-wash (CaO) application. 11) shellfish recruitment strategies with economics in a nutrient balanced environment 12) theoretical limits to nutrient recovery by seafood harvest. 13) pulp polysaccharide waste recovery by CaO curdling and . pulp polysaccharide utility in CaCO3 dosing of phosphate surplus/CaCO3 deficient waters( very speculative ) for estuary phosphate precipitation and bottom flocculation and stabilization with effects on sea-grass 14) Effect of increased bottom soil cation exchange capacity % saturation with Ca++ on adsorption/de-adsorption of heavy metals and hence heavy metal availability in the water column( fresh and salt ) Sincerely, Russell P.

We'll put YOUR website at the top of the search engines - FAST! If your site isn't getting the traffic it should, chances are it's because it's not ranked well on the major Internet search engines. According to recent studies on Internet commerce, over 90% of consumers find the websites they visit by using "The Big Eight" search engines. If your website isn't located in the top 20 pages of those engines, chances are your site will never be seen. What's the point of having an "invisible" website? The SINGLE most important thing you can do increase your website traffic is increase your search engine rank. That's what we do. HUGE RESULTS... NO EFFORT... You can spend hours marketing your site using every technique around, but they will all pale in comparison to getting your site properly ranked. By getting to the top of the search engines, you can have HUGE amounts of visitors at your site in as little as 72 HOURS! HOW THE SEARCH ENGINES RANK YOUR SITE... When you submit your website to a search engine to be indexed in its database, it sends a "robot" out to scan your page. Then, using complex algorithms to rank your page for keyword relevance, the "robot" determines whether you'll be ranked # 1 or 1,000,000 when potential visitors conduct a search looking for sites like yours. Because the search engines are constantly changing their algorithms to help provide users the best possible search results, there's only one true solution to high search engine placement. Us. WIN THE SEARCH ENGINE WARS! We understand these algorithms and will use them to get your website on top. Now you can experience the on-line success you originally built your website for. If you're not happy with your website's performance, let The Search Engine Performance Group put YOU on top. IT WILL BE THE BEST THING YOU EVER DO TO IMPROVE YOUR ON-LINE SUCCESS. HERE'S WHAT WE DO... In order to counter the ever changing search engine algorithms, we create an entire series of "entry pages" for each search engine, for EVERY keyword you give us! Each entry page is optimized to do well for a different set of algorithm variables. So instead of having one page struggling to do well for many keywords on many engines, we simply create separate entry pages for each keyword & each engine! It's through this unique approach that we're able to help YOU conquer the search engines. The "entry pages" act as a welcome screen for your website. They will say a few introductory things about your site and then ask the visitor to "Click Here To Enter," taking them directly to your current homepage. In creating these entry pages we DO NOT make any changes to the existing structure, content, or functionality of your current site. All pages we construct will link directly into your existing site. As a result, you can rest assured that your current website will remain exactly the same. HOW WELL DOES THE SERVICE WORK? We'll send you a detailed report of your current search engine ranking on The Big Eight engines before we begin. Then, once your new entry pages have been indexed, we'll send you a second report showing how they've done. You'll be able to confirm the results yourself. Here's a sampling of some results we've gotten for previous clients. These examples are for COMPETITVE keywords - not obscure words that nobody's looking for... <> 6 top 10 rankings on Infoseek for DIFFERENT relevant keywords <> 18 top 10 rankings across the major search engines <> 3 top 10 rankings on Alta Vista for ONE keyword <> 16 total #1 rankings (and an astounding 40 top 30 rankings across the different engines!!) <> 1-2 hits per week exploded to 500 per day <> 45,000 hits per month grew to 108,000... (and it's still growing!) CLIENT COMMENTS: "INCREDIBLE!! Our site is now receiving more hits in a day than we used to get in an entire month. [My boss] is still eating his words!" -Bob W. "I knew the search engines were an incredible marketing tool, but my company simply didn't have the time to devote to search engine placement. It has proven to be the best money we've ever spent on marketing. We'll be sending you some referrals for sure! Thanks." -Shelley H. "I worked for weeks to get good search engine placement, but I could never crack the top 80...my site was deserted. Within a month [after using our service], I'd had more hits than I'd had in the last year. I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't happened to me. Please don't mention a word to the competition." -Chris L. WHAT'S THE COST? Our services are just $385. This includes: <> Construction of optimized entry pages for up to 20 keywords <> Submission to the major search engines (AltaVista, HotBot, Infoseek, Excite, Lycos, Northern Light & WebCrawler) <> A complete report of your search engine rankings before we begin <> A complete report of your search engine rankings AFTER we've finished WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET STARTED? <> Call Us - we'll answer any questions. <> Give us your keywords / keyword phrases (up to 20) <> Pay us $385 <> Sit back and enjoy the show!
