/ PRBuzz.com / February 1, 2012 -- According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, a sign is the most effective and least expensive way for a small business to advertise. This makes a lot of sense because potential customers drive and walk by all day long, so having an eye-catching and attractive sign out front that advertises what the business does can really help attract their attention. In fact, studies have found that simply having an easy-to-see sign out front can help significantly increase sales. As the economy continues to struggle, small business owners in particular should be doing everything they can to increase their visibility with the public. Until now, however, many have hesitated to purchase a new sign because traditional LED signs can be extremely expensive.

In some cases, signs of this size can start at around $15,000, which makes this type of sign an incredibly good deal But just because this sign is considered an "entry level" LED sign, it does not mean it is not going to be durable and attractive.

This week's AON might be a little short, but finally, the Garradd comet's peak has come! I picked the Garradd comet to follow because it's a bright and easy-to-follow comet. Be sure to observe it! If you need help finding it, you can find more information here. - Until March: The Garradd comet's peak is this month! Be sure to observe it!

- February 3: Moon is at its most northern declination.
- February 4: Io occultation, Europa transit.
- February 6: Io and Europa eclipses.
Below I have defined some of the events I will be notifying you about over the course of this repeating feature: - Transit—When an astronomical object passes in front of another, like one of Jupiter's moons passing in front of Jupiter.
- Occultation—When one object is hidden by another object that passes between it and the observer.
- Moon Phases—It can be fun observing different phases of the moon. These are what fraction of the moon is dark. It is also fun observing the dark side.
- Conjunctions—Two (or more) bright objects in one field of view! This is when two or more astronomical objects are relatively close. Sometimes it is cool to see planets or bright stars pass by or behind the moon.
- Apogee or Perigee—This is when the moon is closest or furthest away from Earth. Not really for observing, but it can be interesting to view the moon when it is large and small.
- Meteor Showers—Easily observed by the naked eye or by binoculars.
- Comets—Not very often do these come around, but are amazing to watch.
- Lunar and Solar Eclipses—Mainly these are lunar eclipses, but if you get to see a solar eclipse you are very lucky! This is when an astronomical object passes into a shadow of another. This could be Jupiter's moons passing into its shadow, or vice versa.
- Solstices—This is when the Earth wobbles, or from Earth this is how the northernmost or southernmost point the sun is at. There are two each year. This is mainly for information.
- Equinoxes—This is when the earth is in the middle of its southernmost and northernmost position and it is equal. Again, this is mainly for knowledge.
- Declination of Moon—This is when the moon's path around the Earth is slightly tilted up or down. The declination is the furthest up or down it will go.
There may be more to come. When these are included, I will explain what they are.

 A few days back a leaked T-Mobile USA inventory screen seemed to suggest several of the carrier's mid to high-end Android phones would soon be reaching end-of-life (EOL) status. Today, however, an updated inventory screen has emerged over at TmoNews, indicating that the HTC Sensation 4G, myTouch Q and myTouch 4G Slide still have a few months of shelf life left in them. The devices are marked as "sell through", meaning that they haven't yet reached EOL, but that production will soon be coming to a end. There's no such luck for the HTC Amaze 4G or LG DoublePlay, though, as today's leaked screenshot reveals that those devices have now reached EOL. But as we said earlier this week, EOL status doesn't affect software updates or warranties, and really isn't worth worrying about in our opinion. Your phone doesn't suddenly become any less awesome because of three letters in a spreadsheet, and we'd still expect devices like the Amaze to get ICS in due course. Source: TmoNews
