Active within 24 hours
I sit in front of a computer all day so to make up for that I spend a lot of time in gym exercising. I'm a huge believer in healthy body equals healthy mind. I'm a high energy ISTJ personality type. I'm probably most compatible with women that are not couch potatoes. I love dining out. I'm not picky and will probably eat anything. My hobbies that I do regularly not in any order are fishing, camping, hiking, road trips, casinos, karaoke, guns, skateboarding, racquet sports, watching movies, boxing, pc games, sportbikes, couch dating and rubbermaid storage containers. I hate being bored. I put everything into my week and relax and have fun on the weekends. Personality counts and honesty is the best policy. I'm hoping to meet someone who enjoys traveling and isn't afraid of the outdoors. If you're an athletic, fit, attractive, happy and confident woman then we would be a great match.

Explore Camfed Tanzania
Situated in East Africa, Tanzania has few natural resources and its economy is based largely on agriculture. It has the lowest rate of high school enrolment in Africa.
Camfed Tanzania launched in 2005, working with the government to boost high school enrolment. We first started our work in the town of Iringa, where many girls who couldn't afford high school were leaving home to become "house girls" in urban centres. Frequently, they were abused and exploited, and many returned home infected with HIV or pregnant.
By paying their school costs, we are able to support thousands of girls through high school every year. However, many challenges remain: schools are understaffed and lack vital resources such as textbooks and equipment.
In Tanzania, we're working to solve these problems.
At Camfed, we recognise young rural women have potential. What they need is for someone to believe in them because that leads them to believe in themselves. That's what leads to change.

Comments about 'Utah company says its 'walls' are better than sandbags'

Selling snake oil again. Filled with water during a drought? By the time a home
owner filled one section of this wall with his 50' 1/2 inch garden hose the
flood will be over. Not a feasible or practical idea for homeowners or city
streets. Plastic liners and fill sand are not feasible either.
Too big and awkward to be practical in meandering flood waters. Cost alone would be prohibitive in buying and storing and the city won't pay to install them to save private property. They would be best used on freeways as crash barriers. Water is scarce and not feasible. In a flood these tanks will be buoyant and float off before they can be weighted down.
I hope the city doesn't fall for this idea, anyone with any skills of thought can see the many flaws in this idea. Home owners can't afford them and its more plastic that can't be recycled and the winters and summer heat and UV rays will destroy any reusable life expectancy they claim to have.

"Filled with water during a drought?"
When we are in flood season, I don't think that is what drought means. If we have enough water for floods, we have enough water to fill these.

something like this plastic wall system may be best for city & county emergency Roads crews, private residents would have to build a barn in addition, to store the empty containers. If your crazy enough to go this route, buy a backhoe and rent some CONCRETE!!

Sounds like an interesting product. Just about anything is preferable to sandbags! I was a little disappointed with the article though; it touted the product's potential benefits and mentioned several places where the product had been used, but it didn't say how well the product actually worked. It came across like a Muscle Wall press release.

Two cents.
Have you handled the product personally?

A weather pattern that's been in place for weeks won't change any time soon. We're seeing weak system after weak system with various warm fronts and cold fronts ushering in some serious heat at times and even a period of much cooler weather like we're in right now, with chances of rain nearly every day. We're currently tracking our next wave of rain that held off for much of Friday that will now mean more rain into Independence Day on Saturday. Most forecasts right now call for the rain to end by midday and fade to a few isolated if any showers by Saturday night. This means morning outdoor plans may contain rain, but the further we move through the day rain chances are expected to decrease. Look for only a slight chance of an isolated shower by 9PM Saturday night.
Rain chances are very slim on Sunday as temperatures are expected to warm back into the mid 80s, but humidity will still stay fairly nice. Heat and humidity are back next week, peaking around Tuesday and Wednesday with highs around 90°. Right now, the 2 possible storm days are forecast to be Monday and Wednesday.

What a succinct snapshot of Hoff's life and work!
Great piece on one of my greatest influences and inspirations. I was not aware of Syd Hoff's "Daily Worker" connection.
Syd Hoff's easy readers are popular and well-read here in L.A. libraries. I still find his illustrations comforting and the stories simple and charming.
Thunder Over The Bronx!!! So evocative I can still taste the schmaltz herring.
Maybe he's forgotten because he lived in Miami instead of NYC and couldn't network with all the right people?
Syd Hoff's books are so timeless. Danny and the Dinosaur, Sammy the Seal, "Who Will Be My Friend?"–they all hold up so well. They even showed a few faces of color–rare back when he wrote and illustrated. I love his books and my daughter does, too. I was thrilled to read of his Daily Worker connection. Please continue to publish articles like this, and I thank the Miami-Dade Library for their exhibit devoted to him!
