"I had high hopes for this pretty clutch and bought it to carry with a very dressy skirt suit for a special occasion. Unfortunately, the shade of taupe wasn't quite right and I wound up returning it. Seeing colors on-line versus in-person makes a big difference, unfortunately. I would highly recommend this purse though and you sure can't beat the price."

Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 17 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by cat dancer great idea but too soft I can see how this would work but I felt the bristles and they bend way to easy and would never be able to scrub the tub and do the floor tile grout. I returned it. November 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Rocketman1955 Helped with my back issues...great product Use this on my tub and surround walls. It's had some "brown streaks" ever since I moved in two years ago, but my back problems wouldn't let me get enough strength to clean them properly. I sprayed on a homemade mix of dawn and vinegar and let it set for an hour. Went back with this and those brown streaks are a light tan now....I suspect it will be gone soon. I can really REALLY clean for the first time in a very long time. GREAT PRODUCT!!! October 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jam Lover Great Scrubber Brush! This scrubber brush is just what the "doctor" would have suggested for me, if I had ever asked him! I have had back problems for many years and have always struggled, (because of weakness in my arms), to scrub my bathtubs to my satisfaction. However, thankfully, it isn't a problem for me any longer! This brush is definitely a good investment that I would recommend to anyone - especially for those, (like me), who do much better scrubbing tubs or flooring from a standing, rather than kneeling, position! Thanks so much for offering it to your customers! September 23, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5Â by TIC Lady Extendable Scrubber I ordered what appears to be the previous version of this item a few weeks ago. After using it one time on the grout on the floor of a small sunroom, the bristles were completely flat. It did do the job well, but did not stand up to that one use. I need to order another product and will be calling to get a refund or a replacement. It would cost a lot to ship it back. August 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Adnerb Light and Sturdy Easy to manipulate to reach those difficult to clean areas. June 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by La abulea Arms too old? As I have aged chores have become harder. Anything that makes reaching, scrubbing, just plain old cleaning easier is helpful for my aches and pains. this brush does the trick for in the tub area, and the walls. Thanks May 9, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5Â by A. Davis Good scrubber, but be careful of the older tub enclosures I love the brush, the ability to reach the areas of the tub which I could not before. The difficulty for me, is that this tub enclosure is an older one and in a rental. It was started peeling in some places and the brush seemed to encourage this to do more. If your tub is in good shape, you should be very satisfied with this item. February 26, 2016

Sunday of the Canaanite
The Gospel according to Matthew 15:21-28
At that time, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a demon." But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me." And he answered, "It is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table." Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed instantly.

Thirty percent of Southern California's water is imported from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, a water source with an uncertain future. Periods of low rain—the year 2013 was the driest in California's recorded history—have also impacted the amount of water available to meet Southern California's growing needs.
To face these and other statewide challenges head on, PWP is working to bolster local sustainability and reduce dependence on costly imported supplies. A citywide Recycled Water Program, along with continued excellence in conservation, will also be necessary to secure Pasadena's water future.
The Your Water: The Big Picture Event was held on February 26, 2014, 6:30 p.m.
A panel of California water experts came together for this free, public event to share insights into the supply challenges facing the state, and what local efforts can be made to ensure longterm sustainability.
Click on the PDF for the presentation slides from this event
PWP customers and Southland residents will have an opportunity to learn first-hand from state and federal agency officials about a proposal designed to safeguard public water supplies from Northern California, which provide approximately 18% of Pasadena's water supply. Known as the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP), this state and federal effort reached a milestone with the release of a comprehensive public draft on December 13, 2013 and the opening of a 120-day review/comment period.
The BDCP includes a detailed water modernization plan to better protect supplies by constructing new intakes on the Sacramento River and transporting that supply via twin tunnels to the existing California Aqueduct. It also includes a strategy of how to restore the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta habitat.
There will be three free local public open house meetings in Southern California as part of the statewide BDCP outreach process that will lead to a final plan:
The open houses are scheduled from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will feature experts from state and federal agencies to explain the various water system and ecosystem proposals and the expected potential impacts. For more information on these events please visit http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/PublicReview/PublicOpenHouseMeetings.aspx.

By KATHLEEN CLARKEDirector of the Bureau of Land Management
Adequate supplies of domestic energy are inextricably linked to our nation's economy and to the quality of life we enjoy as American citizens.
This truth was underscored in recent testimony on Capitol Hill by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who said escalating prices and short supplies are already impacting many industries and the result will be lost jobs and significantly higher bills for consumers.
Prices of natural gas have increased sharply. In the meantime, the Department of Energy reports that last winter's unusually cold weather caused significantly reduced natural gas inventories. As a result, supplies of gas in storage are lower today than during previous years.
Fortunately, there are measures the nation can take to address what many experts view as a looming natural gas crisis.
Natural gas is found in abundance here in the United States. Much of it is located beneath public lands that are managed by the Department of the Interior and agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management.
An inventory of federal resources in five key basins in the West concluded that an estimated 57 percent of oil and 63 percent of gas are available under standard stipulations, and 15 percent of oil and 12 percent of gas are totally unavailable. The remaining oil and gas are available with increasing restrictions on development. The inventory did not address other potential constraints to development that result from the permit process and other post-lease conditions of approval. These constraints can add considerable time to the development of natural gas from federal land.
Along the way there are additional roadblocks to development from lengthy and costly lawsuits.
Issues of energy development and environmental protection have been among the most contentious public policy issues of modern times, polarized by the mentality that the two are utterly incompatible.
More than anything else, it is this faulty paradigm that explains how a great nation such as ours, possessing abundant resources of natural gas, could be facing a critical natural gas shortage.
Two years ago, President Bush presented a new National Energy Policy to meet the nation's energy needs. That policy offers a balanced approach that addresses both the demand side of the equation, by promoting conservation, and the supply side, by encouraging development of our domestic energy resources.
The President challenged the nation to move beyond the confrontational, zero-sum thinking that has dominated public dialogue in the past.
"We must work to build a new harmony between our energy needs and our environmental concerns," he said. "Too often, Americans are asked to take sides between energy production and environmental protection . . . as if the people who produce America's energy do not care about the planet their children will inherit. The truth is energy production and environmental protection are not competing priorities. They are dual aspects of a single purpose, to live well and wisely upon the Earth."
Some elements of the National Energy Policy require legislation and these are currently being considered by Congress. Others can be accomplished through administrative actions within regulatory agencies to eliminate unnecessary red tape and improve efficiency. The Bureau of Land Management has initiated a series of measures to improve its management of energy resources and activities, including the processing of applications for permits to drill, without compromising environmental values.
Incremental progress is being made on many fronts. But securing America's energy future will require more than incremental, piecemeal progress. It will require, as the President said, a new harmony between our energy needs and our environmental concerns.
The recent testimony of Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan on the looming natural gas shortage - and its implications for our economy and our quality of life - should add a new sense of urgency to this challenge.
His insight should also prompt us to take a fresh look at how we might improve access to the significant energy resources found on the public lands and provide for responsible development of these resources, development that can be in harmony with our environment.

Abstract: State law requires that an Interchange Area Management Plan (IAMP) be completed before any funding can be released for projects identified at the Coburg/l-5 interchange to fix the problem. In addition, Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 734-051-0155(6) states: "Interchange Area Management Plans are required for new interchanges and should be developed for significant modifications to existing interchanges..." The Coburg/lnterstate 5 IAMP documents the planning process to develop an alternative that will improve and protect the function of the Coburg/i-5 interchange. The purpose of the IAMP is to ensure that public investments in state infrastructure are protected through an integration of transportation and land use planning at the city, county and state levels. The IAMP recommends: (1) operational and physical improvements, including access management, and (2) local policy and development code cha nges. The IAMP is a collaborative document and reflects coordination among the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), the City of Coburg, and Lane County. The IAMP must be adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC), the City of Coburg and Lane County to be in effect. Description: 151 pp. Adopted 2009-07-24.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Castle Dale Elementary is the scene for a few changes as the new school year opens. They will begin with a new principal and two new teachers to the school. Ralph Worthen will take the reins as the new principal. He has been teaching at the school for 13 years.
He said, "I have spent all the years I have been involved in teaching at Castle Dale Elementary. I have been here the past 13 years. I grew up in Ferron and graduated from Emery High School. I attended Southern Utah State College and was in the first freshmen class for the college. I also returned years later and was in the very last graduating class before it became the College of Southern Utah. It is now Southern Utah University.
"I spent 10 years in the coal mines. I started around 1972 or 73. I worked at Deseret for six years and at Wilberg for four years. I was laid off just two months before the mine fire. I knew all of the crew that was lost in the fire. One of which was my brother-in-law. It was a tough deal. I did enjoy mining coal, however. I worked wherever I could find a job for awhile. I worked for the county on mosquito control, at Killpack's Butcher Shop and at Johansen and Tuttle Engineering. Most of the work was seasonal though, by this time we had four kids and I needed to find something more permanent.
"We decided that I would go back to college, so we loaded up the family and headed to Cedar City where I finished school. All six of us were in school at the same time. My wife attended Evans Cosmetology School while we were there. My wife Loretta and I are the parents of Jarom, who lives in Salt Lake now; Anthony who is temporarily employed in Alaska; Andrea who is a law student at Brigham Young University, she graduated from BYU last year; Dustin who is a junior at BYU; and McKayla our caboose who is beginning the third grade this year at Ferron Elementary. We also have a grandson named Parker.
"I majored in elementary education and did my student teaching in Cedar City and then we moved back to Ferron. The year I earned my degree there was only one teacher hired in the district. I went to work at Millsite golf course for Ferron City. I let them know that if a teaching position came up I would take it. I also worked summers at the golf course until I went back to get my master's degree.
"We spent two summers at the University of Utah campus and worked for two years through the EdNet program both at Emery High and at Carbon High School. There were five of us from Emery County who did that at the same time. It was great to have the friendship and support of these other teachers. We had a good time and got to know each other and spent time together. I am the fifth of those teachers to move into a principal's position in the district. There were Larry Davis who is now at Canyon View Junior High, Nolan Johnson at Green River High and BookCliff Elementary and Garth Johnson at San Rafael Junior High.
"My wife Loretta has been very supportive of me in all that I've done. When we came back from Cedar she opened her shop it's been in three different locations and she really enjoys it.
"I really enjoy being around the kids in school. It's also good steady employment, at the mines there are a lot of ups and downs. The consistency of a school setting means a lot. Seeing the kids grow and develop is wonderful and I enjoy making an impact for the good in their lives.
"All my years of teaching have been here at Castle Dale. I started teaching the fifth grade and was in the multi-age team teaching program which included fourth, fifth and sixth grades. I have spent most of my time here in the sixth grade. When I first started at Castle Dale we had 300 students. We will start this year with a population right around 170 students. Every room was occupied, now we have two vacant classrooms and a room just for the aides to use. We also have a room available that we call the wet room where the teachers can take students in there for messy art projects and things of that nature.
"I like how things function at Castle Dale Elementary and would like to see things continue as they have in the past. I really like the CLIP program which lets teachers work with students individually and gets them the help they might not receive otherwise with their reading. It really makes a difference and I would like to see that continue.
"We also do the mini-workshops on Halloween and view it as a very constructive and educational activity. The public has been very supportive of coming in and helping on this day and sharing their talents. I also like the mighty math program. Our PTA also runs a very successful reading incentive program. We have a wonderful PTA that is very supportive. Another program is Shurley English Made Easy. This program helps the students learn the different parts of speech, by using jingles and asking questions. One of our teachers did a presentation for other teachers and invited some students who were in the program last year to come and demonstrate how it was done. They hadn't used the program for the three months school was out, but they still retained the information. The sixth graders just loved it. On the last day of school when everything was finished and there wasn't a lot going on the kids asked, 'Can we do Shurley?' It's a great program and I am curious to see how this will carry over with them as the kids move into junior high whether or not they will have an easier time with English.
"This program is easy to teach and the kids do it all on their own. We even had sixth graders helping their older brothers and sisters and have had good feedback from parents. They use a question answer flow to go through a sentence and determine what part of speech it is.
"We have a wonderful school here at Castle Dale Elementary. I enjoy coming to school and hope we can continue the successes we have had in the past. We want the students to come to school each day prepared to have an exciting day. The teachers are prepared and we have a good atmosphere at our school. We have two new teachers, Cindy Jones will be teaching sixth grade and came from San Rafael and Jamie Olsen will be teaching second grade and transferred from Huntington Elementary. Everyone else has been working here together for 12 years or more. We have a close faculty.
"When I'm not here in the school I like to get out and enjoy the mountains. I enjoy spending time with my family. I am also interested in computers and enjoy working with them. It's been a busy summer getting ready for school, I've only had five days off this summer.
"I want to be a visible image in our school, in the halls and at recess time. I want the kids to see me at other times, other than when a problem arises. I want them to be comfortable talking to me at any time. We are looking forward to a good year and I'm excited to get started.
We also have a new secretary, Colleen Bott; so we are learning together. We lost one teaching position at our school this year. The Emery District is wonderful to work with and they work hard to shuffle teachers around so they don't have to lay anyone off. They are supportive of their teachers and do everything they can to help.
"I am really looking forward to having a great year here at Castle Dale Elementary," said Worthen.

Abraham Lincoln, then 47, came to Sterling to speak at a rally for presidential candidate, John C. Fremont. On July 18, 1856, a twist of fate brought Mr. Lincoln to the home of Sheriff William Manahan to spend the night. He slept on a sofa with two chairs placed at its end to accommodate his long legs. In the morning he graciously thanked his host and left Sterling and the rest is history! The home has been restored and its interior, furnishings, and facade reflect the time when Lincoln visited in the late 1850s.

Love these different sandals
"These are in between a flat bootie and a sandal and they are so different. I love them. My only complaint is that the black version leaves marks on your hands. I'm hoping this goes away in time."

"I purchased these in black. I'm a size 11 and have a narrow foot. This shoe is beautiful and looks better in person!! The fit is good, they are comfortable and they don't make my feet look like boats. They have a unique style to them as well. I wore them with a long maxi skirt and they were adorable. The only issue I have with them is that the dye from the shoe rubbed off all over my foot. I think it was the oil I had on my feet that made it worse. Also be gentle when removing the shoe as the seam on the back is delicate and tears easily. I called customer service and DSW is graciously replacing my shoes with a new pair."

Dreamed about these shoes and had to go back...
"I saw these shoes at the store three weeks ago and wanted them. I hesitated, because they were $54.95. Well, I am delighted that I waited a few weeks, because the new price is perfect for a perfect pair of shoes. These should look cute with anything!"

NSFD board passes funding formula
Tepper requests North Shore-wide approval by end of year
The matter was all but settled Monday afternoon when River Hills Village President Bob Brunner, called first in a roll call vote, gave his assent for a funding formula proposal he had pledged to veto up until last week.
Following his "yes," the rest of the North Shore Fire Department board quickly and without further discussion passed the proposal unanimously.
Now approved by the NSFD board, the formula proposal will need to be ratified by the village boards or common council in each of the seven NSFD member communities. Glendale Mayor Jerome Tepper requested that each board vote on the proposal by the end of the year, so that in the unlikely event the formula is turned down somewhere, Glendale could still issue its two-year withdrawal notice, effective 2016, by the end of the year.
Also on the NSFD board agenda was the potential expulsion of River Hills, a subject which was retired after Brunner voted "yes" on the funding formula.
"There's no need to go into that discussion," Brown Deer Village President Carl Krueger said, adding later, "I'm very happy that NSFD is going to stay together as a cohesive unit."
A tense month
Until last week, the fate of the proposed funding agreement, and the makeup of NSFD itself, was uncertain.
In the last month, a standoff between Brunner and Tepper may have had either community out of the fire department. Critical of the funding proposal, Brunner had threatened a veto, prompting Tepper to threaten to have Glendale leave the department at its first available opportunity in 2016.
At a Nov. 15 River Hills Village Board meeting, Brunner said he was committed to the veto regardless of what the River Hills board had to say on the matter. His stance caused Brown Deer Village President Carl Krueger to invoke a provision of the overarching NSFD agreement that allows six communities to expel the seventh on a unanimous vote. The NSFD board last week held over the formula and expulsion discussions until Monday, a move that bought the River Hills board one last chance to sway Brunner.
The next day, Brunner finally surrendered his veto and said he would follow his board's direction. After nearly an hour in closed-session talks, the River Hills board delivered a 6-1 recommendation that he approve the formula, with only Brunner voting in opposition.
"...Unfortunately it looks like River Hills taxpayers are going to be paying for this formula change forever, and there won't be any relief in future years," Brunner said at the River Hills meeting last week.
New formula shifts shares
River Hills' share of fire department costs was projected to increase regardless of whether the new funding arrangement is approved or if Glendale leaves the department.
According to a sample calculation by the Public Policy Forum, which mediated discussions throughout the year and helped create the proposed formula, River Hills' share of NSFD costs would increase by about $33,000 under the proposed formula. Since the proposal includes a five-year phase in, that would mean a roughly $6,000 annual increase in costs between 2016 and 2020.
Elsewhere, the Public Policy Forum calculation showed Glendale, Fox Point and Brown Deer's shares all decreasing while the other communities saw an increase. Among the communities, Fox Point had the biggest decrease in percentage (0.81) while Bayside had the biggest increase (0.31). As a percentage of its current share, River Hills had the biggest increase at 10 percent, as Brunner pointed out.
Brunner pointed to a specific point in the proposal, a change that counts all types of property value — residential, commercial and industrial — equally. The current formula weighs commercial and industrial property types higher than residential under the assumption those types of properties cost more to protect.
Counting all property values equally shifts some costs off communities with higher amounts of commercial and industrial properties and onto NSFD member communities, like River Hills, which are mostly residential.
Fire Chief Robert Whitaker and Public Policy Forum President Rob Henken have said the change makes sense because technology has made commercial and industrial properties less costly to protect and NSFD's majority of calls have shifted over time from fire calls to emergency medical service calls.
Henken also has said the change is offset to a certain degree by another change in the proposal, an increase in emphasis on historical use.
Estimates by NSFD administrators show that if Glendale — which among the member communities contributes the biggest share for operating costs at more than $4 million — were to leave, River Hills would face a roughly $111,000 increase, the smallest among the NSFD member communities.
The estimates show Brown Deer bearing the largest increase if Glendale were to leave, at about $671,000, with Shorewood and Whitefish Bay close behind and Fox Point and Bayside in the middle.
A 'private club'
At the River Hills meeting last week, Brunner went on to criticize the conduct of the NSFD board members, whom he said spoke among themselves and brought the possible expulsion to bear without consulting him first.
"I think the (NSFD board) is acting like a private club, in terms of not having members meet a certain standard," Brunner said. "...The only thing they can accuse me of is voting in a way that protects the taxpayers of River Hills."
Krueger responded Monday that expulsion has to be on the table when NSFD board members resort to extreme measures.
"If communities take a position where they're going to give notice or leave, or in another case, veto something important, the discussion has to be on the agenda to have the board members discuss the various options," Krueger said. "In this case, as it turns out, I think it was just a bunch of political posturing and nothing came of it."

Skip to comments.Ruins of 7,000-year-old city found in Egypt oasis
Posted on 01/29/2008 9:36:38 PM PST by Fred Nerks
A team of US archaeologists has discovered the ruins of a city dating back to the period of the first farmers 7,000 years ago in Egypt's Fayyum oasis, the supreme council of antiquities said.
"An electro-magnetic survey revealed the existence in the Karanis region of a network of walls and roads similar to those constructed during the Greco-Roman period," the council's chief Zahi Hawwas said.
The remnants of the city are "still buried beneath the sand and the details of this discovery will be revealed in due course," Mr Hawwas said.
"The artefacts consist of the remains of walls and houses in terracotta or dressed limestone as well as a large quantity of pottery and the foundations of ovens and grain stores," he added.
The remains date back to the Neolithic period between 5,200 and 4,500 BC.
The local director of antiquities, Ahmed Abdel Alim, said the site was just seven kilometres from Fayyum lake and would probably have lain at the water's edge at the time it was inhabited.
That's old,, thanks for posting.
The Fayoum is a wonderful area of Egypt with a rich and interesting history. It is an area where Egyptians often vacation and which is constantly growing more popular among Europeans. This 692 sq. mile depression was a lush paradise during prehistoric times. It's water level was eighty-five meters higher than today (currently 45 meters below sea level) and the Nile regularly flooded through the low mountains separating it from the Fayoum. At 215 square km, the current lake Qaroun remains Egypt's largest salt water lake. The prehistoric people who lived here were, at first, nomadic hunters and gatherers, but later began harvesting plants near the lake. This developed into what is said to be the earliest agricultural area in the world, where fences were erected and guarded warehouses built. It has remained an agriculture center, well known for it's fruits, vegetables and chickens.

The Faiyum, a fertile area situated in a depression west of the Nile river used to be swampland 3,500 years ago. As it was not far from the Middle Kingdom capital city it was used as burial grounds by Sesostris II and Amenemhet III.
I did search for it...and nothing came up.
Thanks for later reading.
great map, I notice there's bus stop near Medinet Madi!
Here is a link to some information about the area:
Here is a link to some information about the area:
Rumor has it that they also uncovered the ruins of Helen Thomas' earliest office in the city.
Imagine that, a 7000 year old city on a 6000 year old planet.
It looks like this is about 1500 to 2000 years before the first dynasty, which is nearly as long as dynastic Egypt lasted.
It's interesting; there are earlier sites in Egypt, including one which was apparently stormed by an attacking force, which left thousands of arrowheads, burned everything, killed or captured everyone.

Please reassure me that she can't breed asexually...
I had the opportunity to wander the Fayoum area. We left all artifacts, like arrowheads in place. But we heard rumors of U.S Embassy employee(s) who had a trunk full of the things. It was just a rumor, of course.
Interesting find. I wonder if the Ancient Egyptians saw those remains. I wonder what people lived in that area at the time. I know Sumeria was not that far from that area.
Here's a map of the ancient Middle East.
Zahi Hawwas is a tireless self-promoter in the Bill Clintont class. I notice that he didn't make the discovery.
he's happy as long as he can stand in front of the camera.
"...The agricultural richness of the area had long been recognized by Egyptian kings. As early as Dynasty XII (2040-1715 BC) an elaborate system of locks and canals was constructed under the pharaoh Amenemhat III. Lake Moeris, fed by a branch of the Nile, had once filled much of the oasis area..."
The Bahr Youseff, Joseph's Canal
"...We can imagine that it was a wise viceroy such as Joseph who spent years making a comprehensive study of the geodesy of Egypt. Finally a plan was formulated that transformed the land of Egypt forever. Two hard days journey from the river, resting within a ring of a range of rugged hills, lay the oasis known as el-Fayoum. It was cradled in a depression whose level lay below that of the Nile. On the verdant shores of a small, shimmering lake in the heart of this basin, a tribe lived cooly under the palms, unmindful of the unmerciful, encompassing wastelands.
"A canal was dug. It was an ambitious undertaking, for the canal did not simply go directly to the Nile from the east, which would have been a massive project in itself. No, a much grander vision was launched. A canal was cut through the ridges bordering the Nile from afar in Upper Egypt and was furrowed northward through the hot sands a distance from but parallel to the Nile. A twin to the Nile was created, extending a full third of the Nile's Egyptian length. 5
"The water of the great canal was fed to the flanking desert through a web of subsidiary canals. Finally it was diverted westward to expand the lake in low-lying el Fayoum and to create a second great lake, a reservoir that maintained the system through seasons of drought.
"Whereas the Nile was hemmed in on the east by rugged cliffs that gave way here and there to a few paltry parcels of flat land, the web of feeder canals on the west fanned through the desert. The network of canals doubled the arable land of Egypt, hitherto almost entirely relegated to the delta. Upper Egypt became more than a mere passageway to Nubian ivory and gold, and was integrated into Egypt's economy, .
"The legend claims that it was Joseph who named the great new reservoir "Lake Moeris," after the king for whom he was the viceroy...
Question: could this recent discovery relate to the same period?
Please don't use "sex" in that context again without warning me. When I blacked out I almost hit my head on the edge of the desk.
I'd imagine that little non-unique artifacts of that kind "fall" into many a pocket at sites all over the world. :')
Maybe. The Middle Kingdom was the time during which the Fayyum came (back?) into its own, and stayed there. The size of the lake has varied much over the centuries, but during Graeco-Roman times it was a pretty popular place to live. If I had to speculate, okay, okay, quit twisting my arm, I'd say that the Egyptians who eventually produced the Middle Kingdom pharaohs wound up in the Fayyum when they had to regroup after the Old Kingdom fell and Egypt declined into the 1st IP.
If the dating of these new finds holds up, it'll make sense, since there was Lake Tritonis to the west of Egypt, and other proto-Egyptian finds are found in that direction, rather than upriver or downriver (either of which would make more sense had the climate conditions been the same then as they are now) or along it.
Other oldies but goodies...

Epilepsy Health Center
Epilepsy - Medications
Medicines to prevent epileptic seizures are called antiepileptics. The goal is to find an effective antiepileptic medicine that causes the fewest side effects.
Although many people experience side effects, medicine is still the best way to prevent epileptic seizures. The benefits of treatment with medicine usually outweigh the drawbacks.
Recommended Related to Epilepsy
Important It is possible that the main title of the report Status Epilepticus is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Read the Status Epilepticus article > >
There are many antiepileptic medicines (called AEDs, anticonvulsants, or antiseizure medicines). But they do not all treat the same types of seizures. The first step your doctor takes in choosing a medicine to treat your seizures is to identify the types of seizures you have.
It may take time and careful, controlled adjustments by you and your doctor to find the combination, schedule, and dosing of medicine to best manage your epilepsy. The goal is to prevent seizures while causing as few side effects as possible. After you and your doctor figure out the medicine program that works best for you, make sure to follow your program exactly as prescribed.
Using a single antiepileptic medicine is often better than using more than one medicine. Single medicine use causes fewer side effects and does not carry the risk of interacting with other medicines. The chances of missing a dose or taking it at the wrong time are also lower with just one medicine.
When treatment with one medicine doesn't help you enough, your doctor may suggest a second medicine to help improve seizure control. Also, if you have several types of seizures, you may need to take more than one medicine.
Medicine choices
Many medicines are used to treat epilepsy. Some are used alone, and some are used only along with other medicines. Your medicine options depend in part on what types of seizures you have. The medicines listed below are not the only medicines used for epilepsy, but they are the most common.
Medicines used for partial seizures, including those with secondary generalization
- Carbamazepine (such as Carbatrol).
- Lamotrigine (Lamictal)
- Levetiracetam (Keppra)
- Oxcarbazepine (such as Trileptal).
Medicines used for primary generalized (tonic-clonic) seizures
- Lamotrigine (Lamictal)
- Levetiracetam (Keppra)
- Valproate (such as Depakene).
Medicines used for absence seizures
- Ethosuximide (Zarontin)
- Valproate (such as Depakene).

I installed 3 Toto Drakes in my new home and all 3 work as well as you have stated on your site. One thing I've noticed about their flush that may be unique to Toto, is when the water leaves the bowl, it does not swirl in circular motion as with traditional US gravity toilets. The Toto Drake water simply drops from the bowl right into the hole. Also, I would say the flush produces about as much noise as traditional gravity flushing toilets, but it just happens more quickly. I have recommended Toto to friends and family, and have also told them about your website. The Toto name does not appear to be widely recognized in Michigan as most folks have never heard of the largest plumbing fixture company in the world. Thank you for all your help and advice-

Skip to comments.Black Surprises (USAF can take control of enemy missile launchers, radars, etc.)
Posted on 01/24/2007 6:54:09 PM PST by steve86
Other, more contemporary Senior programs named by Arkin reveal and track the Air Force's growing interest in and development of the new field of computer network warfare and electronic attack, which include Senior Keystone (related to classified information warfare) and Senior Suter. However, the Air Force's theme remains the same--penetrating the enemy's defenses.
Senior Suter is a Big Safari-managed special access program. Big Safari itself is a shadowy Air Force unit that has developed small numbers of specialized reconnaissance systems, including drones, in what are often classified programs. The Suter technology was developed during the last several years by BAE Systems and involves invading enemy communications networks and computer systems, particularly those associated with integrated air defense systems (AW&ST Aug. 16, 2004, p. 24; Nov. 4, 2002, p. 30). Suter 1 allowed U.S. operators to monitor what enemy radars could see. The capability enables U.S. forces to assess the effectiveness of their stealth systems or terrain-masking tactics. Suter 2 permits U.S. operators to take control of enemy networks as system managers and actually manipulate the sensors, steering them away from penetrating U.S. aircraft. Suter 3 was tested last summer to add the ability to invade the links to time-critical targets, such as battlefield ballistic missile launchers or mobile surface-to-air missile launchers. Aircraft involved in the Suter programs include the EC-130 Compass Call, RC-135 Rivet Joint and F-16CJ strike aircraft specialized for suppression of enemy air defenses.
Information operations and computer network attack programs are now considered the military's most closely guarded projects, surpassing even new stealth advances.
(Excerpt) Read more at aviationnow.com ...
The "how" of the program is highly classified but the "what" is known in general terms -- break into an enemy's air, land, or sea deployed sigint and weapons systems, monitor, and in later versions, take control of equipment as an active "system manager".
The magazine article mentions a metaphor of making the enemy radar think it's a wash machine and putting it into rinse mode!
These capabilities apparently are tested in realistic flight situations, utilizing multiple specialized aircraft, although deployment is in the early stages with some data acquisition components already employed in Iraq.
The Suter aircraft evidently project multiple digital signal beams into the antennas and other electronic components of the enemy platform to probe and then set up an ad-hoc network, similar to what a "hacker" would do to a target computer on the Internet using ordinary TCP and IP data packets. The nature of the signal beams, however, is a highly guarded secret, but apparently involves some kind of synthesis of the different signals and dynamic adjustment to deal with changing conditions and countermeasures.
Ping. Familiar with this?
Another "No Comment" thread.
Well, now...is that why that magazine is often known as 'Aviation Leak'?
This article was published to tell the Chinese that not only do we know exactly what they are doing, but we overfly their airspace regularly and turn off their radars without their knowing it.
The Chicom ASAT test that has everybody scared is dimestore stuff, if what is in this article is true.
AW&ST shouldn't have run this story, imho.
Now, imagine what we can do to the Iranians.
Be Seeing You,
Glad we could keep it a secret.
Who's doing the "guarding"?
Then again, for how long can you keep a spoof secret?
Loose lips sink ships.
That we can read enemy radar screens was revealed by the govt as long ago as the Korean airliner shootdown.
Yea, just try to keep a secret
impossible in todays world. In the grand old days of yesteryear, these types of secrets were leaked via lesser-known channels and taken into consideration without the world knowing about them. Advantage
problems solved without the panic of the general population and the general population getting involved.
Was this good or bad not for me to judge history will be the judge.
Is everyone here tired from The State of the Union last night? I expected a Skynet joke within the first ten posts.
As long as the enemy sees what they expect to see, indefinitely. Think Maskirovka.
I had no direct or indirect knowledge of this project but it doesn't surprise me in the least. It is my believe that the US is intending to dominate every part of the electromagnetic spectrum on the battlefield from 3Hz up. That means complete freedom of usage for us and complete denial to the enemy unless we choose to let them use it.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
Very lucid point Sect, and totally agreed. They know what they are doing by letting this out. Th Chinese have long stated they are fearful of our technological advantage on them, this will help further the paranoia
I hope it's, as you say, a tactical leak. It will certainly make the bad guys wonder, won't it?
Various types of Electronic Warfare have always been an option. Specifics should not be discussed, no matter who leaked it.
Ballistic missiles, of course, aren't physically capable of doing that but the technique might apply handily to cruise missiles, RPVs, etc.
You got that right.
If the story wasn't openly available at your local library (where I read it), I would agree.
You were only able to read what they want you to read.
Now just exactly how much enemy radar and sophisticated battlefield management computing do you think we are facing in Iraq?
You didn't read it at MY local library, because is is rarely open! LOL!
All Your Radar Are Belong To Us
They don't call it Aviation Leak for nothing!
this story was timed to tell China et al to be warned WHILE WE DO IRAN.
I don't have the magazine in front of me now but they were also talking about projecting contrived images, IIRC, presumably onto radar screens or the modern equivalent.
I wonder if there will ever again be a war where this kind of gadgetry can bring it to a defined end. Are we fighting a war that might have occurred 40 years ago?
Seems all wars these days end in insurgencies. This kind of stuff is of little value against un-uniformed personnel. And it seems no one on our side has the will to effectively put down an insurgency.
Please convince me that I'm too pessimistic. :(
And it doesn't help much against a nuke hidden and shielded in a fishing boat, either.
I think Clancy put something like that in one of his books.
Read between the lines "with some data acquisition components already employed in Iraq. " who is next to Iran.
'"are now considered the military's most closely guarded projects"
Who's doing the "guarding"?'
That would be A1C Sandy Burglar.
Eh, an intelligent person can often piece together assorted open-source information on classified stuff and come up with a reasonably good picture of it without having had a leak or Pentagon approval.
Thanks for the ping. Very interesting article.
The Suter aircraft evidently project multiple digital signal beams into the antennas and other electronic components of the enemy platform to probe and then set up an ad-hoc network, similar to what a "hacker" would do to a target computer on the Internet using ordinary TCP and IP data packets. The nature of the signal beams, however, is a highly guarded secret,Smoke ... but no mirrors yet ...
I agree with your comment.
they were also talking about projecting contrived images, IIRC, presumably onto radar screens or the modern equivalent.The creation of 'false (RADAR) returns' is an already well-known 'trick' ...
It would be terrible, for example, if the N. Koreans tested a ballistic missile and it somehow went off course and hit Peking. Or of the Iranians did likewise and it somehow hit Damascus.
I think it builds upon that earlier "positional disparity" to create an entirely new virtual view, with fake aircraft, others missing, etc. I am making an educated guess here.
I have VietNam era F-4 (Navy Phantom) pilot friend that tells of flying in the same space with an EA-6B (or maybe it was an E-2 Hawkeye?) and they were joking about cababilities.
The 6B jock asked my friend his call sign....and immediately his radar screen went blank as his callsign was spelled out on its face.
