Convert ePub to Mobi

If you need to quickly convert from epub to mobi the link below provides a program from Amazon. I does install. Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) will do it also but it takes a tad more learning. Amazon just converts and saves to the same folder. Neither create a great conversion but readable.

Citrus 10-10-10 some say 6-6-6

Young Trees

Citrus trees will need more fertilizer as they age. In humid tropical climates such as Florida during the first year, start applying fertilizer at the start of the growing season in February just as the buds begin to swell, and reapply every six weeks through October. Apply about 1/2 pound of 10-10-10 fertilizer per tree. In the second year, apply about 1 pound per tree every seven weeks. For the third year, apply 2 pounds per tree every nine weeks. In the fourth year apply 3 pounds per tree every 12 weeks.

Mature Trees

For mature citrus trees that are 5 years old and older in humid climates, fertilize three times a season with 5 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer per tree. Fertilize in February, May and November. For each application, apply 1 pound of fertilizer for each year of the tree’s age. For instance, a Florida tree 10 years old would get 10 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer in three separate applications for a total of 30 pounds per year.

Driver Installer -Snappy Driver Installer

I just tried Snappy Driver Installer and am impressed. I let it download the entire driver pack of 12GB. It allows for updating itself and will reside on a flash drive with my Win7 installer.

I had to reinstall Win7 on and old OCZ SSD on and older Gateway P7811FX. Chipset drivers for Intel are suddenly becoming more cryptic to find for older systems.

Here is the best I could get on the SSD with Chipset and AHCI drivers from Intel.
This is what I got after installing the driver updates Snappy suggested from the driver pack.
The mobo interface is only 3GB so the drive could do better but the new drivers helped and Snappy chose the right ones. Impressive.

AS-SSD results were also more positive:
