Playing games, podcasts, punchin' cattle and horsin' around

The games module I mentioned in an earlier post is now operational on the CapitalPress.com website. If you like to play sudoku, crosswords, word search or word scramble puzzles, you can now do that from our main website. Just look for the "Game Center" link on the left navigation bar of the Capital Press website, or click on this link. New puzzles will be available daily.

Also new today is the newest (fourth) episode of the Farmers' CAP, Capital Press Agriculture Podcast. You can find it at our podcast page (www.capitalpress.biz/podcasts). You'll find a link there if you want to subscribe to the podcast through iTunes.

And if you like horses, cattle or other types of livestock, you may want to pick up a copy of this week's Capital Press, which comes out Friday, Dec. 1. As I mention in the podcast we have a special section inside the upcoming issue on Livestock and Horses. You'll also be able to find the special section materials on the CapitalPress.com website.

And speaking of new stuff, if you are still looking for Christmas gift ideas, this one could be money in the bank. The eighth Capital Press commemorative truck is now available, just in time for the holidays. The die-cast replica of a 1937 Studebaker Woody delivery van is a great toy that's also a bank, where you can stash away some of your cash. See it for yourself in the Capital Press store, along with some of the earlier trucks in the series that are still available. Proceeds from the sale of the truck go to the Capital Press Newspapers in Education program to promote literacy and agriculture awareness for students.

There's all kinds of new stuff on the Capital Press website. You can listen to a preview of what's in the next edition while you do a crossword puzzle, then catch up on some of the ag news and do some Christmas shopping and contributed to students' education all in one spot.

Has anyone else noticed those sudoku puzzles are sort of addictive?
