Casper Interagency Dispatch Center
The Newcastle Field Office is responsible for Fire Management on over 300,000 surface acres within Northeast Wyoming. Wildfire suppression for the field office area is conducted through a coordinated effort involving BLM, Wyoming State, Adjacent Federal, and Local County Support.
The Newcastle Field Office Area is located within and administered by the Wyoming Eastern Zone, headquartered in Casper, WY. The field office area is covered under both the Casper Dispatch Center in Casper, WY (covering Niobrara County) and Great Plains Dispatch Center in Rapid City, SD (covering Crook and Weston Counties).
Fire prevention and reduction of wildfire threats are high priorities for the Newcastle Field Office. Areas at high risk for catastrophic or urban-interface fire such as the Newcastle Fire Defense Zone are identified and treated. Most currently on-going and planned projects involve mechanical manipulation of encroachment treatments. Prescribed fire is also used to reduce prairie wildfire threats and rejuvenate or improve wildfire habitats and range resources.
All treatments are modeled after natural fire processes and aim to reduce health and safety risks to both the general public and firefighter personnel.

The University of Massachusetts Amherst has received a $300,000 grant from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center. The grant is aimed at expanding the school's life sciences programs and involvement in what officials are calling Massachusetts' "bio-economy."
The grant is part of Governor Deval Patrick's Life Sciences Initiative. The program was approved by the legislature in 2008, promising to invest $1 billion over ten years in life sciences education and industry. Life sciences encompasses biology and other studies of living organisms. Mike Malone, Vice Chancellor for Research and Engagement at UMass Amherst, says the most recent batch of funding will support a research project to determine the best use for a future $95 million dollar grant from the center. That money will help fund the construction of a new life sciences building, and invest in the school's nanotechnology and precision manufacturing research.
Malone says the funds will also help develop partnerships with businesses in the region and he says research funding at Umass helps stimulate the economy in western Massachusetts.
"When research dollars, let's say, from the federal government or the private sector come to the university, they're spent in the community. The ratio is typically 2.1 to 1, or something like that. So if we get a dollar of sponsored research, that generates $2.10 in economic activity in the community."
The grant comes on the heels of a report by the National Science Board, which says direct per-student state funding to UMass dropped by 27 percent between 2002 and 2010, which could adversely affect science and engineering programs. Malone says the study doesn't take into account grants from agencies like the Life Sciences Center, which he says helps grow Umass' science and technology programs.

Alexandra Fletcher and Rachel Swift are a curator and a conservator working at Domuztepe, a Late Neolithic site (about 6200-5500 BC) in south eastern Turkey. This series of posts traces the weekly progress of their recent excavation season.
Rachel Swift
The dig's base camp consists of old-fashioned canvas tents clustered around the buildings of a deserted school and arriving again is a strange experience. The weathered statue of Ataturk, stifling heat and friendly faces that greet me are now so familiar that the months since my last visit instantly disappear.
As usual, sleep during the first few nights is sporadic and I am woken at intervals by barking dogs, mooing cows and the 4.20am call to prayer. At 7.30am on day one I get to work preparing 'Conservation Corner' for action. I discover that writing an inventory of my conservation supplies last year was time well spent as I can now find just about anything in seconds. Oh the wonderful power of lists!
The archaeologists have been busy on site for a week now and a tidy pile of finds awaits my attention. I spend the next few days cleaning 7,000 year-old bone tools, tiny stone beads and fragments of wall plaster (a first for me at Domuztepe) whilst gently sweating and guzzling water to avoid dehydration.
Alexandra Fletcher
Like Rachel I have the strange sense of never really having been away and quickly settle into life in camp. I am pleased to see that the colony of owls that live in the building we use as our workroom are raising babies and that life in the rest of the village continues as normal.
I drive straight out to the site (very carefully as the track is rough and bumpy) and get my first look at what we will be digging this year. Several Neolithic graves have been found and over the next few days these will be photographed, drawn and lifted so excavation can continue beneath them.
Work has also begun to put in place all the safety equipment we need to dig out a deep well (2.5 metres and still going down).
Our team of workmen shout greetings as I join them and we catch up on a year's worth of gossip. They come from the villages that nestle alongside other ancient tells (mounds created by hundreds of years of human occupation in one place) that dot the plain around us. This area was once marshland, although it is now drained for farming. Herds of wild pigs once lived here giving the site its name. 'Domuztepe' is 'Pig Hill' in English.

Good and bad News, courtesy of Matheson
Jonathan Willis
September 18 2008 04:26PM
A few items of note, courtesy of the always-informed Jim Matheson:
Hrabal Injured
Josef Hrabal's shoulder injury is apparently going to be out for a while. Matheson quotes Prendergast as saying that "there may be a tear," and it sounds like he's done for the remainder of camp. It's unfortunate for Hrabal, who has a bunch of pro experience and some age on the other reserve defencemen, but it isn't bad news for his competition, and it isn't even particularly bad news for the Oilers. There are a ton of guys fighting for ice-time at the AHL level, and there should be plenty of guys to step up and take Hrabal's spot in Springfield.
Goaltending Carousel
To my great relief, it now sounds like Andrew Perugini is going to get a contract from the Oilers. Kevin Prendergast is again quoted, this time as indicating that the backup job in Springfield is up for grabs, and that all of Glenn Fisher, Bryan Pitton, and Andrew Perugini will get a shot at it. I'd imagine that Fisher is going to get the least amount of playing time, since of the three he's not only the oldest, but he also hasn't shown much outside of one nice NCAA season. At 25, and after posting mediocre numbers in Stockton, I think he's essentially out of the picture for ever getting a shot at the NHL.
Perugini and Pitton are both entering their first professional season, and after this year we should have a better idea of which is most likely to contend for NHL duty long-term. Prendergast compared Perugini to ex-Oilers goaltender Steve Passmore, who had a relatively long minor league career and a cup of coffee in the NHL.
Prendergast also confirmed that the Oilers don't mind seeing goaltenders start in the ECHL, based on the fact that they get a lot of games in. That makes a lot of sense to me, given that development-wise it's probably better for a brand new pro to be getting 50 games in Stockton than 20 games in Springfield.
—Jonathan Willis is the force behind Copper and Blue , and a frequent OilersNation contributor.
September 18 2008, 04:36PM
I agree 50 games in the ECHL is better than being a glorified water boy in Springfield for our young guys. Even if they are rotating Perugini and Pitton in and out of the ECHL into the AHL to get a look at better competition, that would be great for their development. So glad we have farm teams now so we can actually develop out net minders appropriately.
September 18 2008, 10:16PM
Of course, this could all get thrown out the window if Dealauriers clears waivers. I know he's got the one-way, and that the coaching staff has said he'll break camp with the Oilers but come on. Talk is cheap. I wanna see results first.
September 18 2008, 10:53PM
Should never had gotten rid of Conklin.
September 19 2008, 09:06AM
'ol Ty is on his quest for the cup...he was with Buffalo when they were hot...Pittsburgh when they were hot....and now he's on the unbelievably, disgustingly stacked Red Wings...may his quest for the cup be foiled by the Mighty Oil.
About Conklin:
After the debacle he made of game 1 of the SCF he wasn't welcome here anymore. It reminded me a little of the Steve Smith reaction.
Having said that, I always liked the lad from Alaska so I am happy he is doing well these days.

Dividers & CompassesCompasses
One characteristic of the compasses in the collection is the variety of ornamentation molded into their metal parts. More often than the instruments on the other pages, compasses were manufactured in the United States, and Americans received patents for adding innovations to the instrument. Several of the objects below were used in schools, and some were even designed to prevent schoolchildren from poking themselves and each other. This page also contains spare parts for compasses.
"Dividers & Compasses - Compasses" showing 1 items.
Safe-T 45700 Bullseye Compass
- Description
- Like 2000.0160.06, this red and white plastic instrument combines a ruler, a protractor, and a compass. Unlike 2000.0160.06, this object is smaller, white instead of clear, and uses a slide instead of rows of holes for setting the radius of a circle. The semicircular (protractor) end is wider than the rectangular part of the instrument. It is marked in 15-degree increments in both directions, from 15 to 165 degrees, and divided to units of five degrees.
- Inside the arc is a small rotating disc. The rectangular ruler has a groove down its center that carries a sliding red plastic piece with two holes in it. This piece can be set anywhere along the scales on the ruler, giving the distance from the center of the small disc. Placing a writing implement in one of the holes and rotating the ruler while keeping the disc fixed gives a circle of the radius set. One of the long edges has a ruler 12 centimeters long, divided to millimeters. The other edge has a five-inch ruler, divided to 16ths of an inch.
- The back of the instrument is marked: U.S.Pat. # 5,615,485 (/) Other Pats. Pend. The back of the slide is marked: MADE (/) IN CHINA. The Bullseye Compass was introduced in 2000 and retailed for $1.99 in 2012.

I bought the 20 dollar founder title.....played for a month and a half. It was fun, I havent played in about a month and a half now. Going to wait for the release and see if anything gets better. When I left the game it was pretty much just a free for all death match. There really isnt any thing in game to make people want to work with eachother so everyone just runs around shooting one another. No one teams up because there are too few zombies, and the zombies are WAY TOO easy to kill with a hammer (2-4 smashes to the head) no real percs to teaming. Maybe when they come out with more zombies or more challenging "boss zombies" which force people to team up and more maps I will come back to it. So far the game is cool and can be great if the devs play their cards right. I also was really wanting the "lvling system" to come out too.....kinda redundant running round collecting stuff that will just be cleaned out come server wipe. I enjoyed most of the time in game.....but the hacking got really bad and it was impossible to play with people walking through walls, and super sprinting, and invisible, flying, ect, ect... They came out with a patch that was suppsoed to get rid of the hackers....well it worked for 2 or 3 days then they started flooding the servers again. I still continued to play but began becoming less interested. I eventually stopped playing after they kept postponing any of the features they where supposed to be coming out with like friends and clans. I cant wait till more of the game content comes out upon release, I will def. be jumping back in to the game once there is more content!
If you played for a month and a half (Oct 15th - Nov 29th)...means you haven't played in 18 days...not that it matters, lol, just saying...but everything else I agree with, especially the fact that zombies are NOT a threat at all...they're mostly just a nuisance when scavaging, the real threat is other players. You can't trust anyone in that game.
Ganking? Me!? That's absurd!! I leave THAT to the lawyers!
The War Z as advertised misleads a lot of people, my entire clan (43) people stopped playing because it is nothing AT ALL like the advertised product. This is a generic Death match shooter. They should just get rid of the Zombies and give ordinance drops for PVP kill streaks!

This is all I need to know about the players attracted to this game.
Game as it stands right now is TERRIABLE. If you're looking to buy it stay away till everything is fixed. Game is kill on site so no PvE at all. All the features they talk about are not even in yet. Also what game are they showing in those pictures because my max settings doesn't compare to that.
don't play the game, full of hachers and servers schutsdown.
is not a goed game .

You played for a month and a half and then you stopped playing for a month and a half? That is impossible. The game launched it's Alpha on October 15th this year, it's only been out for 2 months bud.
I'm sorry but an 87% is very hard to believe as far as satifaction goes. I have been playing video games all my life dating back to Atari, and playing online games since Unreal Tourny and Dialo1, and this is a joke of a developement.
Great job by MMORPG with the questions, but IMO I think they lied through their teeth on this one.
All humble opinions from a long time fan of gaming.
<Sights, Clouded, In, False, Illusions>
the game is VERY simple..
Collecting potato chips and avoiding players who kill you on sight gets old quick.
not a lot to this game,. it needs way more social systems, and more to the game than just walking from town to town collecting food and killing anyone you happen to walk past.
Just not a very well made game. sadly.
The way mmo's were: Community, Exploration, Character Development, Conquest.
The way mmo's are now : Cut-Scenes,Cut-Scenes, solo Questing, Cut-Scenes...
The game was Fun at some points during the alpha if you could find a low pop server without anyone using hacks.
The recently banned what they said was over 2000 hackers, but most of those people were not the ones using hacks. They just picked up one of the bait traps that the devs setup on roofs and such. Since jumping into a roof can throw you onto a roof sometimes.
Theirs tons of videos and screenshots to support this, not to mention the Streamers who got banned while stream for doing nothing other then playing the game legit.
So we are at the foundation release now even though the features that were promised to be in are not their. Skills, vehicles, friends sytem, The whole map.
This map is nowhere the size they said it would be.
The game is still full of bugs. You cannot refresh servers list. Inviting people to your clan is almost impossible. Rocks sound like water,metal and other random noises. Walking on rocks or hills can lead to death. Jumping into windows or inside some buildings throws you onto roof or into the wall, been around since launch still have not fixed it. Instead used it as bait to try to catch no clippers. Still cannot load ammo into some guns after using a C-mag.
Plus tons of other bugs.
These Stronghold servers are just a small map. Just gonna be putting people into a smaller sandbox to kill each other.
The game has potential, if hammerpoint opens the private servers up soon, before they lose all their followers with all the lies and controversy that seems to surround them.
Forgot to mention this game is not an MMO, why is it even on mmorpg?
Just because they label it an mmo does not make it one.
It has 0 features of an mmo.
its sad to think that WarZ may be a waste :<
i really liked it the first few times i played it. i was having real fun with my friends
then i got tired of dying from survivors rather than zombies ><
not scared of zombies ingame, more scared of people which is sad *pout* =3=
There are people who play games and then there are gamers.
Okay the idea was not stolen, survival vs zombie mods are a lot older than DayZ (if anything DayZ stole the idea from others). Second, the game is fun, yes you die a lot, sometimes to hackers, sometimes to normal players. Its not good if you don't like to kill or be killed. You will cry. It is fun if you don't expect some AAA tittle with tons of polish. Its an alpha (with option to pay to access alpha) even if they say its in foundation release, its still a pay to play alpha. It costs 15$ to have some fun and see what is about.
Ignore the trolls, play what you want, when you want. Lots of good videos on youtube and streamers on twitch show people can have lots and lots of fun with this game. Even with all its issues, i still log in everyday at least once.
I hate stupid people.

Oh boy did they see you coming. Nothing like announcing to the world how they scammed you. None of the maps are close to the size they said they would be. No one kills zombies, it is a frag fest. Strictly a pvp game. The game has so many bugs as to be unplayable at times and you think it is getting better?.

Comments about Nashbar Bicycle Storage Hook:
Works great, mounted fast, holds a road, mountain, or tandem bike with no difficulty. Simple clean installation to any wall stud or solid wood backing, but note your sheet rock probably won't support a higher weight bike (35-40 pounds), so I wouldn't use the wall anchor method in this condition.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I anchored this into dry wall and it could not hold my 26 pound bike. You need to anchor it to a stud or it will just come out of the wall. It says it can hold up to 40 pounds, but it didn't work when I did it

Transforming learning through global collaboration
Emily, say hi to Yong Zhao from me, he is a great fan of Flat Classroom! Re $100 laptops....I learned from an ex-Peruvian Education Minister at WISE last week about they pushed through a law (before too much discussion and opposition stopped them from doing so) in the Peru Govt to purchase 1 million OLPC devices a few years back (not that long ago), and yes there have been issues, as you mention below. However, what he did say was although the $100 laptops are not the most robust device, and although teachers largely did not know what to do with them, the initiative has been a catalyst for further change and future plans for educational reform across Peru. Exciting to hear!
Awesome! I went to a school for the deaf in El Salvador and they really needed help. Basically, they had an old computer that wouldn't have even functioned here.
Thanks for asking, Susan! I particularly enjoyed the keynote by Dr. Yong Zhao. He is coming to visit our school next month and his new book is wonderful! We have been hosting a "chapter club" in my building at school and it has been great.
I also went to an interesting talk about a 1:1 program in El Salvador. They were using the $100 laptops and were implementing the program in the most rural areas of the country. It was amazing to learn that their challenges are essentially the same as those in well resourced schools: teacher training, planning for senescence of machines, scaling at sustainable speed. . .
There was lots of other interesting stuff too (mostly the new research around social presence, which I am totally fascinated with)-- but those were the highlights.

Puerto Rico defeats Canada in the Pan Am Cup Quarterfinals
MEXICO CITY, Mexico, June 17, 2014 – Puerto Rico stormed past Canada in straight sets (25-17, 25-16, 30-28) in a quarterfinal match of the XIII Women's Volleyball Pan American Cup at Juan de la Barrera Gymnasium on Tuesday.
The victory earned Puerto Rico a final-four berth in the annual intercontinental event against a rival still to be determined. It is the third time in the history of the event that Puerto Rico has reaches the semifinals as they did also in 2008 and 2009.
Aury Cruz scored 20 points to pace Puerto Rico, including three blocks and two aces, while Vanessa Velez added 16. Alexandra Oquendo and Lynda Morales each chipped in nine.
Lisa Barclay, Brittney Page and Kyla Richey finished with 12, 11 and 9 points, respectively, for Canada.
"Puerto Rico played a solid all-round game and we are responsible for our loss," Canada's captain Brittney Page said. "I am disappointed."
"I am very proud of my team as we have accomplished the first two goals we established, first qualifying to the Grand Prix and advancing to the final four," Puerto Rican coach Jose Mieles said. "It was a great game for my team. We have been able to come from less to more. Canada played a lot better in the third set, and that's the team we are used to play against."
"I am very glad about qualifying to the semifinals but there is a lot of work to do," Puerto Rican captain Sheila Ocasio said. "They (Canadians) elevated their game in the third set but we battled and never quit."
"Puerto Rico served very well and our technical execution was very low and that was the key for the success of Puerto Rico," Canada's coach Arnd Ludwig said. "You can't follow your tactics when those elements are off. When we reacted in the third set, it was too late."

Traveling with diabetes can take a little extra planning, but it is relatively easy if you take the right precautions. Make sure to read up on airport security procedures for traveling with insulin, have healthy snacks on hand, and try to maintain the same diligence with diabetes managementas when you are not on vacation.
Ah, summertime when the living is easy! Sometimes it can be too easy for those of us who have diabetes. Rest and relaxation is much of the reason why we love summer so much. We need relief from the stress of work, relationships, and city living. Stress produces cortisol, which is the primary stress hormone, and it increases the amount of blood…

text: Both of these storage styles continue to turn up in modern kitchens and are great ways to add visual interest. To get the look without a complete cabinetry renovation, replace doors on a few key cabinets with glass-fitted models, or remove doors altogether and repaint shelf faces and surfaces for a fresh, clean look. For even more spark, line kitchen cabinets with patterned papers, fabric or a color-pop of paint.

With little more than your name, address, date of birth and Social Security number, a thief can do just about anything he wants with your identity. He can run up your credit cards, empty your bank accounts and apply for new credit in your name. While recovering from identity theft can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive, preventing it doesn't have to be. Following a few easy and free practices can minimize your chances of being a victim.
Watch Your Statements
Your bank and credit card statements are powerful tools that can help you quickly nip identity theft in the bud. Reviewing them every month or checking them online even more frequently gives you a chance to see fraudulent transactions soon after they happen. When you see something that doesn't look right, contacting your bank or credit card company immediately gives them a chance to investigate it, shut down your account and potentially protect you from further harm.
Often times, credit card companies and banks alert consumers when suspicious activity occurs such as foreign or expensive charges. But while these companies will do their diligence to protect your identity, only you can be responsible for carefully reviewing your statements for accuracy on a regular basis.
Check Your Credit Report
When an identity thief starts opening new accounts and has those statements sent to different addresses, these new accounts and addresses will appear on your credit report. In addition to looking for new accounts that arent familiar, you can also look for unauthorized inquiries or for changes to your personal information that might have come from fraudulent applications. If you think you might be the victim of identity theft, some states allow you to place a freeze on your credit report to stop credit bureaus from releasing credit information to potential lenders. This can help prevent new accounts from being opened without your approval.
Maintain Physical Security
Keeping your information physically safe is also important. This starts with getting your mail every day or switching to online bills so that personal information doesn't pile up in your mailbox. Keeping as little information in your wallet as possible and never having your Social Security number in it can protect you if it gets lost or stolen. Shredding sensitive information can also protect you from identity thieves who collect the information they need by going through the garbage of others. Finally, when you're at an ATM or a store's payment terminal, cover the keypad with your other hand as you enter your PIN to prevent an identity thief from shoulder surfing or using a camera to access your personal information.
Protect Your Data
Your computer, tablet and smart phone can be tools to keep you safer or they can be plentiful resources for identity thieves. Putting passwords and encryption on each device makes it harder for an identity thief to access your information. Also, verifying that a website is secure before entering your financial information can protect you from getting your information intercepted. Another strategy is to avoid clicking on links in email from your financial institutions, because that email might not be legitimate even if it looks real. Instead, use your browser to go directly to their websites.
Remember, reviewing your financial statements and credit reports are not only good ways to make sure youre on track with your personal budget; it can help also help you recognize the signs of identity theft. Early detection is key to recovering quickly in the event you are the victim of identity theft.

Deke talks Saints Camp Day 1 with Bobby Hebert and Hokie Gajan
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jul 26 2013 4:01PM
email@example.com -
Our Resident Pros' Point of View!
Okay, I'll cut to the chase. They say in life it ain't braggin', if you got it. Well, WWL radio, the flagship station of your New Orleans Saints, has something others just don't have—a staff of former professional football players to break down the Saints performance all season long. Our resident pros--Bobby Hebert, Hokie Gajan and Steve Korte have a perspective others, who analyze this team, just don't have. They've been there…done that…not only as NFL pros, but Saints players for a total of 27 years! Bobby led the Saints to their first playoff. Hokie Gajan was a beloved Saints fullback and scout. Steve Korte was a powerful Saints offensive lineman. So, they KNOW what they KNOW about NFL football, and they've walked a mile in the "cleats" of players like Drew Brees, Pierre Thomas and Zach Strief. They're perspective is a truly all pro look at the Saints. And, I'll throw in my take on the Black & Gold too.
Training Camp Day 1—Deke's one-on-one with Bobby Hebert:
Bobby Hebert on practice:
"The defense easily won the day. I thought the offense was sloppy."
Why was the offense sloppy? "There was poor execution at times. QB Drew Brees and RB Mark Ingram mishandled an exchange on a handoff, and DE Cam Jordan scooped it up. Drew had a couple of interceptions today and he was high on some of his throws. You could see Drew was frustrated. Drew Brees was not as accurate as he normally is."
How did the Saints defense easily win the day?
"On the very first play of team drills, QB Drew Brees did an outstanding job making the defense jump off sides. But, Drew threw a deep pass for WR Joe Morgan only to see CB #28 Keenan Lewis pick off the pass."
Brees was later picked off by CB Jabari Greer. Greer made a diving interception as he was covering TE Michael Higgins. #20 CB A.J. Davis also came up with an interception, picking off back-up QB Luke McCown.
Hebert, "I believe the coaches really like A.J. Davis. He was in camp last year and he makes plays when he's given an opportunity."
The Cajun Cannon praises the Saints D:
"Overall, the Saints Secondary had good coverage throughout practice, especially on deep balls."
LB #55 Eric Martin, who is a rookie out of Nebraska had a sack on QB Seneca Wallace on a bootleg play.
Hebert: "Martin got back there fast. He was up on Wallace before he could get his head around."
What disappointed the Cajun Cannon: "When you have a chance to make a pick, you have to catch the football. If the ball hits your hands you have to make the play." Hebert was referring to Saints DB Malcolm Jenkins who dropped a ball this morning."
In special teams work, Punter Thomas Morstead got off some real nice punts. The Cannon was impressed, "His punts were so high it caused WR Lance Moore trouble fielding the football." Moore misjudged three of Morstead's punts dropping one in special teams work.
What impressed Hebert:
"WR's #88 Nick Toon, #17 Chris Givens and #14 Andy Tanner did a very good job catching the football. It seems like you can talk about how good Andy Tanner catches the football every day."
The Cajun Cannon praised the play of DB A.J. Davis and was pleased overall with the play of the defense on the first day of camp.
Bobby Hebert's question to Coach Sean Payton:
"Coach would you elaborate on the flexibility of players at the OLB position. Is LB David Hawthorne a guy who can play inside and outside?"
Coach Payton:
"We're going to start with him (David Hawthorne) on the inside, Bobby. But we will be smart to look at it closely to see who's getting the snaps at the outside position and if we are a little deep inside, we may ask a player such as Hawthorne to take some reps out the outside position. But, I think to begin with him (Hawthorne) coming back off an injury…and now he's healthy…I'm anxious to see him inside and sink his teeth into this defense a little bit."
Training Camp Day 1—Deke's one-on-one with Hokie Gajan:
Hokie's Call on practice:
"That first team session was a mistake filled session. There was a lot of sloppy play. It did not look like the Saints offense out there. The mistakes made by the offense really jumped out at me."
Note: Hokie was surprised to see the Black & Gold offense make unforced errors…"I give the defense credit on the interceptions. But the mishandled snaps and the fumble on the handoff from Brees to Thomas are things that we are not used to seeing the Saints offense do."
Bring on the pads:
If you listen to the former Saints FB, who to his credit has 31 years tied to the Saints in some capacity, you know Hokie's all business. Hokie says the first couple of practices are important, when the Saints get into full gear Sunday, the real action begins.
"You hope getting the pads on will get the guys geared up. I would really gauge the opening of training camp when they (Saints) get into full gear. Coaches want players to put in good work all the time. But, when you're not in pads, it has a different feeling to players in my opinion."
Hokie was impressed by the consistent play of WR Andy Tanner too. #14 might not be the biggest or even considered one of the best, but over the course of the last few training camps Tanner has earned a lot of respect from people who've seen him play. "I can't remember Tanner dropping the football," said Hokie. He's a guy, who just works hard and when his number is called he makes the play." Andy Tanner made two nice catches for the Saints offense during team drills.
"The Big Chief" Deke Bellavia's POV:
Well, Who Dat Nation, the first day was kind of typical. Fans settled back in to check out their Black & Gold for the first time…and it was a hot, hot, hot July morning. Bobby and I bumped into a fan, who made a long trip to see the Saints practice. As we finished shooting our post practice video for wwl.com, a gentleman approached Bobby and asked for an autograph. The guy said, "Man, I'm a Who Dat from Michigan." He drove 14 hours overnight to see the Sains practice. Now that is a dedicated fan!
I spoke with RB Mark Ingram and I just get the feeling this guy will make a good bit of improvement. This is what he told me after practice, "I'm healthy and I've worked as hard as I can possibly work this off season."
You know, in this game you either got it or you don't. I think Ingram has always had it. Coaches say they usually don't get a full indication about how a player will transition into the NFL, until he's played three years. I thought Mark Ingram was a special player, when he was at Alabama…and now is his time in the NFL. I've been wrong before and will admit if I'm wrong again. But, I believe Ingram will do well. He's healthy, in great shape and Sean Payton has a lot of confidence in #22. That leads me to believe Ingram will do better. Perhaps much better!
Until next time – Who Dat!

Please Enter Your Comments Below
Bobby & Hokie are the best!
Deke, Bobby & Hokie are the best! They bring insights I don't hear about the Saints and NFL...even when I listen to other teams' analysts. WWL really has the pro perspective. I learn something every time I listen.
Mark Ingram
Ingram has me worried. I thought when he was at Alabama he was elusive and had break-away speed, I also thought that he was very good at breaking tackles. These attributes seem to be lacking now that he is with the Saints. These aren't the type of things that you can teach, they should be instinctive. Take Pierre Thomas for example, sometimes it seems like he can feel the defensive player getting ready to tackle him and jukes him out or just gives him a shifty move.I was all for the Saints jumping back into the 1st round to get Ingram. Usually a player shows up in his 1st season, let's hope that the 3rd season is the charm for Mark.........

Beautiful, but tight
"I ordered these in my actual size, 8, but they were SO tight, which has never happened to me before. A fiercely sexy shoe, but order a size or two up."

"Beautiful pump and the color goes with a lot of things in my wardrobe (its a true beige.) Only negative is that the shoe is a little tight on my toes and I have narrow feet but sometimes I feel my toes being squeezed too tight with certain pumps. Because of this I used a wooden shoe stretcher and they fit comfortably now."

The cost of complementary and alternative therapies
This page tells you about the cost of specific types of complementary and alternative therapies. There is information about
Many cancer wards, units and hospitals in the UK offer complementary therapies to patients free of charge. You might be offered a set number of treatments free, but have to pay for any further treatment after that. This is not always the case but it is worth asking. You may also be able to have some therapies free, or at a cheaper rate, through your GP. Costs vary depending on the individual therapy.
Several cancer support centres provide various complementary therapies alongside conventional cancer treatments. Depending on the organisation, you may be able to have a single treatment, weekly treatments, or go to the centre daily for a few days for a complementary therapy programme that suits you. You may have to pay for the treatments you have, but there is sometimes an opportunity to pay less than the standard rate, and some centres won't charge you at all.
Some of the organisations on our complementary therapy organisations page can give you a list of centres to contact about their prices.
Some cancer support groups offer free or low cost therapies. Some charitable organisations offer free sessions of meditation, relaxation or guided visualisation. Staff at your hospital may also know of local services or you can find them on the internet.
Private practitioners of complementary therapies can charge up to £60 or more per hour. These costs vary from place to place within the UK – for example, treatments are usually more expensive in cities. You can read information about finding a reputable therapist.
If you are using herbal remedies, vitamins or dietary supplements the prices can vary a lot. It is important to let your doctor know if you are taking any type of herbs, vitamins or dietary supplements along with conventional cancer treatment.
For information about costs of particular therapies go to the individual complementary therapies section and click on the type of therapy you are interested in.
Many alternative therapies are expensive. Some therapies might only cost a few pounds a month, but others may set you back several hundred or more. Make sure you have thought about the ongoing cost before you start taking anything or begin any treatment.
There is no scientific evidence that any alternative therapy works so it is important to talk to your doctor before deciding to use any of these therapies.
There is more information about costs in the individual complementary and alternative therapies pages. Look under the particular therapy you are interested in.

Howard McCoy
Former Bayfield resident Howard McCoy died Saturday, April 7, 2012, in Frankfurt, Germany. He was 75.
Mr. McCoy was born to Leamon and Goldie McCoy on Aug. 21, 1936, in Bayfield. He grew up on the family ranch.
In the late 1950s, he spent part of his Army service stationed in Friedberg, Germany, at the same time Elvis Presley was there. He told his former wife, Petra Kresser, he played softball with the King.
During his time in Germany, Mr. McCoy married his high school sweetheart, Joanne Hickman. The marriage ended in divorce after two years.
As a young man, Mr. McCoy worked in the oil fields in Colorado before becoming a sales manager for several contact lens companies and traveling across the country. He often returned to Bayfield to help on the family ranch.
In the 1980s, Mr. McCoy rented a little house owned by actress Jane Fonda on property above Santa Barbara, Calif., and worked as a gardener for people in the city below.
He loved gardening and couldnt walk by any bushes or flowers without touching them, Kresser said. Howard was always interested in American and international politics and in a spiritual way of life. Howard wanted a world of justice and peace and love.
In 1989, Mr. McCoy moved to Germany to live with Kresser, and the couple married Sept. 11, 1990, in Las Vegas. The couple divorced in 2003.
Mr. McCoy continued to live in the Frankfurt area to watch his son, Kevin, grow up, but he also traveled to Egypt and the Canary Islands in search of warmer weather.
Mr. McCoy is survived by his son, Kevin Kresser McCoy of Koblenz, Germany; brothers Robert McCoy of Bayfield and Kevin McCoy of Frankfurt, Germany; and former wife, Petra Kresser of Koblenz.
A memorial service was held Friday, July 26, 2012, in Koblenz.

Skip to comments.Is it possible to know the *Year* of Jesus Christ return to earth?
Posted on 01/21/2009 11:41:00 AM PST by TaraP
Based on Scripture? The Second Coming statement causing confusion and deception in the household of God is, No one knows about that day or hour.
Jesus made this statement about the exact time of His return during the Olivet Discourse. This expression has been incorrectly interpreted by many, thinking that it means we will be unable to determine the general time of the Second Coming.
The statement is clear and precise. It says, No one knows about that day or hour. It does not say, no one knows the general time of the Coming (THE YEAR). As a matter of fact Scripture does indicate that we will be aware of His Coming and we will not be surprised, as you see the Day approaching (Hebrews 10:25). Paul also said, But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief (1 Thessalonians 5:4).
Repeatedly, Jesus told of the increasing deception that will come in the last days. He commanded us to watch and stay alert so we would not be deceived by the world and get caught off guard. This is what He said during the Olivet Discourse.
Noah with the unbelievers the people, they and them. Noah knew when that day was coming, God actually told him when to get in the ark. However, the world was caught completely by surprise even though Noah preached to them, 2 Peter 2:5.
Here is what He said,
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back--whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!' (Mark 13:32-37)
Please repair the word POSSIBLE at the top...
It will be the year people stop making predictions.
I know a guy named Jesus that mows my lawn. Is he the one you're looking for?
Her returns every Thusday. Hope that helps.
Found this in Nostradamus' writings.....In the Year that the redbirds rise out of the desert and beats the beast from the city of steel look to the heavens for the time is near.
Translation - Cardinals beating the Steelers in the Super Bowl
A Prediction would be:
Jesus is coming March 1st 2009 at 2 p.m
If you behave any other way ... well, good luck.
(I can't claim any superiority. I'm hoping for a really merciful Return....)
No, the parable of the wedding in the bible says so.
I am sorry I didn't think of that one.
Will he have to produce a birth certificate when he does?
(sorry, no offense to our religious types in the forum, just a little joke)
That is not correct, it states in the Bible that wicked people will still deny him the day he does return....
"No one knows the time or the hour, not even the Son, only God the Father" Matthew 24:36
I'm ready whenever He comes, so it doesn't concern me a lot.
Yes it was 1-20-09 Everyone knows that!
Dec. 21st, 2012
No. But there is some indication from the Bible that you can know the "season".
Nostraamus predict obama?
The great empire will be torn from limb,
The all-powerful one for more than four hundred years:
Great power given to the dark one from slaves come,
The Aryana will not be satisfied thereby.
Good one.
I understand it says (TIME and HOUR)
I am asking is TIME meaning the literal time? 2:00 9:a.m etc
OR time as in the future..2009 2015 etc..
Jesus us gave us sings about the End Times....
True. We do know that certain things will pass but from the last thing to the return only God knows when.
America wasn't all powerful in the 1600s...
Oh yes of course!
Within four days that is.
I always thought wednesday was a good guess.
Jesus billboard provokes controversy
Having said that, one of those signs are mockers and scoffers who will tell you that all things are the same, nothing has changed, the sun comes up and it sets...just as everyday before it....blah, blah, blah...
I recommend the following:
Consecrate yourselves.
Get your households in order.
Purify yourselves and the Church casting out apostates, wolves in sheep clothing, and those living in unrepentant sin in your midst.
Wake up Bride of Christ cease living as though tomorrow is just the same as yesterday.
Tell everyone of the coming wrath. If they will not listen, shake the dust off your sandals and move on quickly. Leave the calling out to the LORD.
Do not fear; be of great courage and boldness.
Pray for there to be ears to hear and eyes to see .the Truth. Thy Word is Truth.
Prepare the way of the LORD.
Praise the Worthy Lamb, for His Kingdom is near.
Definitely...just not until after it happens.
Surely. Hebrew Custom is that the Earth will last 6000 years. So you just google Jewish Calendar and subtract the current Jewish year from 6000 and you'll get approximately the answer you're looking for. Since neither you nor I will be around by then, our "end of the world" will have already occurred and it won't matter. (6000-5768=232 more years) (give or take)
I believe Adam is 6000 yrs old...
if any nostradamus is true, it's from some kind of evil power IMHO. I've looked into it, and yes some things might be said to be true.
But it seems to me that ALWAYS with his stuff, you only know AFTER the event, and it's never of any use to anyone before, so it's useless and frustrating.
Compare that with the prophecies of the Bible, which are good, and are known before they happen, then they happen. The Bible also has what I call "eternal prophesies" like "egypt will never again be a great nation" (ez 29:15), written 3000 years ago. If egypt ever again was a great nation, every scoffer could point at the Bible and say it was wrong. But that will never happen. This is a great argument against what most anti-Bible people say, because if it was written by a charlatan, pretending, why would they stick their neck on the line? Why not just keep everything nice and general. And there are many "eternal prophecies" in the Bible.
Stick to the Bible & stay away from nostradamus IMO.
Don't worry, I don't believe in Nostradamus. I am a christian, I was being funny.
You just don't have the right biblical prophecy decryption algorithm, but I am willing to sell you mine now that I've decrypted the entire bible, Webster's new abridged dictionary, and 2006 NFL rule book.
Noah did not know the day or the hour either. He only was doing what He was told to do, for about 120 years. He knew it was very close when God began rounding up the animals to go up into the ark. Then when Noah was told to get himself and his sons and their wives into the ark, they knew. When the rain came, something which had not occurred (at least it was not ever mentioned before this) before, well, the rest is history.
Noah could see signs it was getting closer. But I wouldn't say he knew when it was going to happen. I am sure he may even have known it might have some correlation with the death of Methuselah, as his name means "he sends his death", or "with his death brings", or "his death will bring". But Noah would not have any knoweldge about when Methusaleh was supposed to die either, only that he would not live past 1000 years, and he died at age 969, so there was still a period of uncertainty about exactly when the flood would occur.
I can tell you this with confidence. first, the last 2000 years we have been in the last days. Second, with the rebirth of israel as a nation we are in the end times. Third, we see more and more nations of the world aligning against Israel and what a stumbling block this one little country is for all of the world. Fourth, we see consolidation and globalism and everyone wanting peace and security at the expense of freedom, looking to government to save them. we are very close to Christ's return. 2000 years closer, every day closer.
We may be spared from the final great tribulation, we may not and may have to go through it. But we will be going through it with our eyes open and seeing things for what they are, we will not get swept up and believe the lies.
We won't know the day or hour, however there are indications that we will know the season. If not, why would we be instructed to watch? But at any rate, of course, we should always be ready. And we should be doing our best to get others ready.
Is that a real Nostradmas quatrain or one of the made up ones?
Actually, He doesn't want to join this crowd (as you say). He wants us to join Him. Most won't, but it's an open invitation.
Interesting, and kinda spooky.
I don't see how that would matter since He already knows what people are going to do.
It sounds like Arianna Huffington will turn against him! ;)
Aren't they the same?
Me too, He already knows everything I'm going to do.
OK, you actually made me laugh out loud!

IntroductionFranconia (frăngkōˈnēə) [key], Ger. Franken, historic region and one of the five basic or stem duchies of medieval Germany, S Germany. The region was included in the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia, becoming in the 9th cent. a duchy and the center of the East Frankish (or East German) kingdom. It stretched from the western bank of the Rhine eastward along both banks of the Main and included the cities of Speyer, Worms, Mainz, Frankfurt, Würzburg, and Fulda. The name of the duchy survives in three administrative districts of Bavaria.
Lower Franconia, Ger. Unterfranken, 3,277 sq mi (8,487 sq km), is a hilly region in NW Bavaria, famous for the forested Spessart hills. It is traversed by the Main River. Agriculture is widely pursued, and industry is centered at Würzburg (the region's capital), Schweinfurt, and Aschaffenburg. Bad Kissingen is a noted resort.
Middle Franconia, Ger. Mittelfranken, 2,941 sq mi (7,617 sq km), in N central Bavaria, is a hilly, fertile region located in the Franconian Jura Mts. It is drained by the Altmühl, Rednitz, and Pegnitz rivers. Ansbach is the capital; Nürnberg, Fürth, and Erlangen are important industrial and cultural centers.
Upper Franconia, Ger. Oberfranken, 2,896 sq mi (7,501 sq km), in NE Bavaria, is a hilly, forested region, drained by the Main and Pegnitz rivers. It includes the Frankenwald and the Fichtelgebirge near the Czech border. Bayreuth, the capital, and Bamberg, Coburg, and Hof are the chief cities and industrial centers.

Even worse off was the Billy Bob Thornton comedy remake Bad News Bears, about a washed-up ballplayer coaching a team of Little League misfits. It took fifth with just $11.5m on debut.
Meanwhile Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds climbed past the $200m mark with an extra $8.8m. Only Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, has done better this year, with $376m.

Quoted post

Isn't Bad News Bears a remake of a 1970s Walter Matthau outing ? And as for the abysmal version of WOTW avec Monsieur Cruise, then I can understand the slump.... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rotfl.gif[/img]

we haven't changed too much since she was born, although we did have some drapes made so she could nap without the blazing sun, and we added a light fixture.
at 10 x 10, it's a cozy little space for alice to sleep and play. we didn't have any sort of plan when it came to making a nursery. we just kept it kind of neutral and then the pieces that we got all seemed to have some sort of red or pink shade. it's a little bit of a mish-mash but it made us happy.
we actually already had alot of the items that are now in her room, like the eames rocker and vintage lamp. it casts such a pretty pink glow when reading her bedtime stories.
the vintage teak dresser is perfect now for lots of storage, but as she gets bigger and needs more play space we will probably move it to our room and get her something a little smaller.
i loved this bear print when i saw it! it's from a local company called banquet and their work has been all over the interweb, i'm sure you've seen them. talented ladies.
i made this teddy bear years ago as a prototype. alice loves to hug and stand on this guy, he also gets thrown out of the crib alot, as do all of his buddies.
a simple white bookshelf to hold some of her books and toys. the baskets are filled with soft toys that she can pull out on her own and play with.
some of my wooden russian nesting dolls that are high out of reach until she is older! (same goes for the dominos and the muji NYC set......)
a sweet gift from a friend hangs near her door.
and of course she has to have some tinywarbler animals scattered around! wink.

Opening Friday is FIT's exhibition "American Beauty: Aesthetics and Innovation in Fashion", curated by Patricia Mears, displays the craft and intricacies of dressmaking. The show runs through April 10th.
Emerging menswear brand Spurr, designed by Simon Spurr, will be going back to its' roots of denim related sportswear and t-shirts at a lower price point, mostly made in Italy. The higher-end collection, named appropriately, Simon Spurr, will continue to have hand-finished suits, leathers and knits all made in Italy and France.
Juicy Couture is on a jet-setting quest to make the world more juicier. They are opening up a shop at Miami International Airport in December, then traveling north to open at JFK International Airport, continuing across the pond to Taiwan's TaoYuan International Airport and then on to Athens Airport.

–Nikki Cho Russo
The incomplete cotton muslins on display in ???American Beauty: Aesthetics and Innovation in Fashion??? are the surest indication the Museum at FIT??™s newest show delves into the inner workings of design.
Custom patternmaker Nicolas Caito personally inspected the muslins on the mannequins for Thakoon, Proenza Schouler and Francisco Costa to be certain they were just so. That attention to detail was just what curator Patricia Mears was after for the museum??™s latest installment, which opens Friday and runs through April 10.
Rather than give a more predictable historic overview of American fashion, Mears has zeroed in on how the philosophy of beauty is relayed in the craft of dressmaking. During a preview of the exhibition Wednesday, she said, ???One of the things I wanted to do with this show was to not make it about sketching, diffusion lines, marketing or anything else. I wanted to show people who really know how to make clothes.???

Spurr is branching into two collections at different pricing tiers in an effort to position itself for global distribution. The split, which will take effect for fall 2010, is the first strategic move since Tommy Fazio became president of the emerging brand designed by Simon Spurr.
Spurr will be a contemporary collection of denim-related sportswear such as T-shirts and jackets. The label is going back to its roots, having launched three years ago with jeans at Bergdorf Goodman, where Fazio was the men??™s fashion director. Spurr since has evolved into a full designer collection, but starting with the fall 2010 collections, the designer offerings will bear the new label, Simon Spurr. The Simon Spurr collection will feature hand-finished suits, leathers and knits, all made in Italy and France.
Spurr, the contemporary collection, will continue to be made mostly in Italy.

LOS ANGELES ??" Dylan George, the premium denim brand founded last year by Danny Guez, is looking to ignite growth with the addition of executive talent and the relaunch of its men??™s business.
Rick Spielberg joined Los Angeles-based Dylan George in October after a four-year run with Hudson, where he helped grow revenue from $9 million to $60 million as vice president. Before Hudson, Spielberg was president of Blue Holdings, which was founded by Guez??™s father, Paul, and where Danny met Spielberg before the younger Guez left to launch People??™s Liberation in 2004. At City of Commerce, Calif.-based Blue Holdings, Spielberg oversaw the denim brands Antik Denim and Taverniti So for two years.
The contemporary brand, which did $600 million in sales last year, plans to target customers when they travel, opening four stores at airports worldwide beginning in December. The first will launch in Miami International Airport??™s American Airlines terminal, followed by the British Airways terminal at New York??™s John F. Kennedy International Airport in January. In February, a Juicy store will open in the Taiwan TaoYuan International Airport??™s Terminal II through Juicy??™s Asian distribution partner, Lane Crawford.
The fourth shop, which is planned for a spring launch, will be in the Athens Airport Duty Free area. This store will open with the help of the brand??™s new partnership with Elmec Sport SA. The retail license and distribution agreement will allow the firm to retail all Juicy Couture collections, including apparel, accessories, footwear, children??™s wear, intimates and jewelry in Greece, Romania and Bulgaria through freestanding stores and select specialty retailers. The wholesale operation with Elmec will begin with the spring collection. The three-year deal expires on March 31, 2014, with an option to renew for another three years.

The avant-garde show, which does not feature any clothing, will include a video installation by Raf Simons and experimental exhibits by the likes of Maison Martin Margiela, Kostas Murkudis, Pierre Hardy and Damien Blotti??re. Up-and-coming Berlin-based designer Michael Sontag has conceived an interactive installation inspired by the dressing table. Parasite, a hybrid gallery-cum-store space that will feature a labyrinth of ???wallscapes??? designed by Bless, will showcase work by emerging artists and designers exploring the boundaries of contemporary fashion.
A Dysfashional fanzine was released for the Paris leg of the show, scheduled to run at the Passage du D?©sir until Nov. 29, with a German edition to follow for the Berlin session, to be housed in the city??™s Haus der Kulturen der Welt venue from June 18 to July 18. Both editions will then be bound to form a catalogue.
HER TURN: Damir Doma, a rising talent on the Paris men??™s wear scene, is turning his hand to women??™s wear, too. The Croatian designer plans to show his debut women??™s collection on the runway during Paris Fashion Week next March. Earlier this year, Doma opened a boutique in Paris on the Rue des Arquebusier in the Marais.

Microsoft stops sales of Windows 7 Professional to OEMs
Microsoft today quietly put an end to sales of Windows 7 licenses to computer makers.
Microsoft today quietly put an end to sales of Windows 7 licenses to computer makers.
Back up your iPhone, iPod, or iPad and get ready to upgrade to Apple's next-gen operating system.
A nasty change to the way Microsoft's "Get Windows 10" pop-up behaves seems designed to trick users into upgrading.
Microsoft today declined to confirm that it will end the on-screen campaign that nags Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users into upgrading to Windows 10.
The Galaxy S6 Edge and Edge+ curved displays can now launch specific tasks and keep you up-to-date on all the latest news.
The Windows 10 Mobile OS -- popularly known as Windows Phone -- is now compatible with smartphones based on x86 chips, according to Microsoft.
Time to update your Macs and iOS devices.
It's a much faster way to download a new app, but not everyone can try it out just yet.
US consumers have fallen for Windows 10, according to researcher IDC, with a larger fraction of those polled already running the OS than either Windows 7 or Windows 8.
iOS 9.3 public beta with Night Shift and OS X 10.11.4 public beta with Live Photos support are now available to public testers.
Some Marshmallow goodies are headed to Nvidia devices and the previous-generation Moto X.
From Android Auto, to Stagefright, to BlackBerry entering the fold, we look back at the year in Android.
It's almost like the Windows 10 restriction was completely arbitrary from the get-go.
Windows 10 now powers approximately 148 million PCs, but signs of a slowdown in the number of users moving to the new OS are growing.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Tunisia, at the northernmost bulge of Africa, thrusts out toward Sicily to mark the division between the eastern and western Mediterranean Sea. Twice the size of South Carolina, it is bordered on the west by Algeria and by Libya on the south. Coastal plains on the east rise to a north-south escarpment that slopes gently to the west. The Sahara Desert lies in the southernmost part. Tunisia is more mountainous in the north, where the Atlas range continues from Algeria.
Tunisia was settled by the Phoenicians in the 12th century B.C. By the sixth and fifth centuries B.C. , the great city-state of Carthage (derived from the Phoenician name for "new city") dominated much of the western Mediterranean. The three Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage (the second was the most famous, pitting the Roman general Scipio Africanus against Carthage's Hannibal) led to the complete destruction of Carthage by 146 B.C.
Except for an interval of Vandal conquest in A.D. 439–533, Carthage was part of the Roman Empire until the Arab conquest of 648–669. It was then ruled by various Arab and Berber dynasties, followed by the Turks, who took it in 1570–1574 and made it part of the Ottoman Empire until the 19th century. In the late 16th century, it was a stronghold for the Barbary pirates. French troops occupied the country in 1881, and the bey, the local Tunisian ruler, signed a treaty acknowledging it as a French protectorate.
Nationalist agitation forced France to recognize Tunisian independence and sovereignty in 1956. The constituent assembly deposed the bey on July 25, 1957, declared Tunisia a republic, and elected Habib Bourguiba as president. Bourguiba maintained a pro-Western foreign policy that earned him enemies. Tunisia refused to break relations with the U.S. during the Arab-Israeli War in June 1967. Concerned with Islamic fundamentalist plots against the state, the government stepped up efforts to eradicate the movement, including censorship and frequent detention of suspects.
In 1987, the aged Bourguiba was declared mentally unfit to continue as president and was removed from office in a bloodless coup. He was succeeded by Gen. Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, whose tenure has been marked by repression, a poor human rights record, the rise in Islamic fundamentalism, and growing anti-Western sentiments among the populace. Ben Ali was reelected in Oct. 1999 with 99% of the vote in an election criticized by many human rights observers. In May 2000 Ben Ali's Constitutional Democratic Assembly Party swept local elections with 92% of the vote, in a contest many opposition leaders boycotted. However, Tunisia's economy continued to improve in the late 1990s, making the country one of the most attractive in Africa for foreign investors. In May 2002, a referendum passed that ended the three-term limit for the presidency. It permitted Ben Ali, who has served as president for more than 15 years, to run for two more terms. Opposition parties protested. In Oct. 2004, the president was reelected with 94% of the vote. Ali won a fifth term in Oct. 2009, taking 89.6% of the vote.

USDA Certified OrganicUSDA Seal Did you say Organic? Yes, they did! Their competitors like to use the word Natural, but Natural has mostly morphed into a marketing term. The word Natural is NOT governed by any official regulatory board or government agency, but Organic claims are regulated! The term Organic is governed by the USDA and specific ingredients and strict standards must be met before a company is approved as Certified Organic. Greenology has achieved those standards and they are proud to deliver their quality products to you! Reduce hazardous health effects to building occupants and staff, such as: Skin, eye, and respiratory irritation or burns Allergies, multiple-chemical sensitivity, headaches, and nausea Gastrointestinal ailments, poisoning, cancer, reproductive hazards Damage to liver, kidneys, and other internal organs Reduce costs of building management, tenants, and/or the janitorial company as related to sick leave, health care, productivity loss, and litigation. Increase occupant and worker satisfaction, including improved morale, productivity and efficiency, quality of life, and sense of well-being. This can result from decreased health effects and decreased annoyances such as malodor. Improve school productivity in students, teachers & administrators. Many studies illustrate how poor indoor air quality (IAQ) in schools adversely affects many of the nation's 55 million students with health problems such as asthma and flu. Petroleum based cleaning chemicals contribute to poor IAQ. The EPA's website states: Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critical component of providing a healthy and comfortable learning environment. IAQ affects the health, productivity, performance, and comfort of students, teachers, and staff. Good IAQ helps schools meet their core mission -- educating children. Improving IAQ in schools can help: Reduce absenteeism Improve student and staff concentration Improve student productivity and performance Decrease IAQ-related health risks from exposure to indoor pollutants Reduce environmental triggers of asthma Reduce respiratory illness Increase safety by reducing the likelihood and frequency of fires, explosions, spills, and splashes. Reduce environmental impacts, including regional and global environmental issues such as air pollution, water pollution, raw materials resource use, bioaccumulation of chemicals in plants and animals, ozone depletion, and global climate change. Green cleaning also reduces the amount and toxicity of products and chemicals requiring disposal. Mission statement Their Mission is to provide your Family, Friends & Pets, Coworkers & Customers and Future Generations with a sanitary living environment and clean indoor air quality, by providing you with products that are made with the utmost concern and consideration for People, Pets and our precious Planet! They have chosen to create and deliver a terrific collection of products that are Organically produced, because Organic production demands the highest standards....and they require their chemistry team meet those standards. Their Goal is to continually strive to deliver high performance, Human-Safe products that get the job done, while Eliminating or minimizing negative environmental effects. They ensure that while they create commerce, it is not done so at the expense of our precious ecology. Their promise toward maintaining a sustainable environment means that they will, whenever possible, eliminate any risk of ecological erosion. This includes using organically grown ingredients, ensuring biodegradability, using recycled packaging and creating smaller packaging footprints, as often as possible. Their History Families deserve it. Our world demands it. Greenology is the Science of Environmentally Safe Cleaning. Their chemistry can trace it's origins to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. Sea Otters, Harbor Seals, Birds & other Wild Life were cleaned with their safe, oil removing chemistries. Motivated by those brief moments of ecological success, today, they are an even more determined company, focused on raising the bar of standards in their industry. They offer an ORGANIC story, not just a natural story Save our PlanetNatural has become an overused marketing term and lost some of its resonance with consumers. It's important, but not as impactful as ORGANIC. There is no mistaking what ORGANIC means. "Natural" is not equated with any government standards like ORGANIC is on food, crops & food processing products with the USDA. They make "Kill Claims" (i.e. Odor Causing Bacteria and Mold). There is no ORGANIC cleaner that they are aware of in the marketplace that is making kill claims. Many of the "safe" cleaners work "decently," but they do NOT kill or remove microorganisms.
