That is OK Ceroth - It just makes it easier when we do the stats and I realize you are just getting used to things and are busy reading. Just keep it in mind and when you have a chance just go back and clean things up for us. Really appreciate it and no need to apologize. Things happen and people are all learning. It makes it easier if we find the things we are looking for in the same places. We can scan and not have to read through and waste time - since we are moderating folks on all of the threads of the readathon and trying to keep things moving and yet be able to tabulate at the end. You are doing very well and just enjoy the process and the reading (smile)

OK - then when you get back make sure your template is complete and then you can move on to Four or if you are finished reading and do not want to do four, five or six - then move to Checkout which is Seven.

By the way Ceroth - Powells is fabulous.

Folks, the Pacific Time Zone is done with this check in - Checkpoint.

Only two places where folks can still participate and Check In are from Hawaii and French Polynesia - and any islands with their same timezone. It is 5:47PM there but all of the Continental United States is done with this checkpoint.

Template Needs More Information - just needs some updates or weeks and then I can move it to the successful column - needs required template info or some quick fixes

1. Jarrad - Hamburg, Germany - Central European Time Zone (UTC+01:00) - you are message 10 - check Michael's in message 29 and copy his template segments and just add your information
2. Rosalinda - Charleston, South Carolina - EST - template needs help - message 14 - check Michael's in message 34 and copy his template segments and just add your information

Folks check this list and make sure you are on it - if I missed you let me know and I will check the thread and add your name. It is unintentional.

Jarrad and Rosalinda just look at missing parts/fixes and add them. And then you will be A-OK - there are two required templates used - one for Checkpoints 1 through 6 and the second required template used for the mandatory check out which is Checkpoint 7
