Kansas State head coach Ron Prince released the first depth chart of the 2006 season Sunday evening, which revealed senior Dylan Meier as the Wildcats' starting quarterback. The depth chart also featured plenty of surprises, particularly on the offensive line, and also showed a number of newcomers to the program already on the two deep.A link to the new depth chart is provided to the right, and here's a quick look at some interesting developments on both sides of the ball.***Meier named the starter at quarterback: Meier earned the No. 1 spot and the right to start the season opener by beating out true freshman Josh Freeman, although it still seems likely that Freeman will see extensive reps in the season opener to prepare him for at least a backup role, if not more, this year.***Stringer, Frieson to start at offensive tackle spots: Redshirt freshman Derek Meyer seemed a sure bet to start at left tackle since the spring but now sits as a No. 2 behind Nick Stringer, while senior Michael Frieson takes over the right tackle spot Stringer previously worked at. ...More...

Recent Zichron Yaakov Reviews
definitely coming back!
We just came back from a weeklong stay, and we're enchanted! The place is absolutely charming - beautifully decorated, spotless and inviting. The house has high ceilings, a lot of room and can accommodate a large group comfortably. It's obvious the owners have given thought to every little detail, and it shows. The pool and hot tub are huge, and the garden - as well as the views - are amazing. We had complete and utter privacy, and home owners were just great. We are definitely coming back!
The nr 1 choice for us next time in Israel
Being a family with two adults and two small children at the age of 2 and 4, finding a comfortable location to spend a vacation is not easy. This apartment gave us the possibility to eat out meals at our own times, making them in the fully equipped and very fresh kitchenette. There was also a place to get laundry done down the road (altough this was not nessisary for us). The beds were comfortable, the bathroom and kitchen clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Some other reviewers have mentioned the extravagant view over the israeli land, and I must admit that I would be able to just sit and watch the sun rise and set all day long. I would most definetly recommend this place to my own mother and my best friend. There are plently of good restaurants just a short drive away aswell as shopping and a hiking site. To sum it up: Great location, great people running it and a great time. I can not wait to come back :-)

Resident's in the small town of Alliance in Pamlico County don't have to pay property taxes, but that may all soon change.
The town of Alliance has 800 residents and a total property value of 46-million-dollars, according to Mayor Ed Riggs,
The mayor and four other commissioners have voted for a five-cent property tax on every $100.00 in property for residents in order for the town to avoid a deficit.
Years ago the town received more than $600,000 through a franchise tax and that has grown through the years thanks to interest.
Tough economic times have meant that interest has dropped by some $20,000 a year, forcing the town to run a deficit of $37,000.
Riggs says the property tax would allow the town to correct the deficit without dipping into the franchise money. "The town is missing out on a few thousand dollars each year from sales tax. You don't get sales tax reimbursements unless you have a property tax, so all the other towns around us are getting sales tax money because they have a property tax."
This extra revenue for the town will generate $26,000 a year for Alliance.
There will be a public hearing on the proposed tax this June before the new budget is adopted.

- Tofts, Darren
- Abstract
- Three decades after its inception, the phenomenon of the spectacle finds resonance in the emerging social formation known as virtual culture. The metaphysics of virtual culture have already passed into the realm of received ideas, a bricolage of neo-Platonist idealism, Cartesian dualism and Leibnizian monadology. Its fetish is the disembodied sensorium, liberated from the materiality of the body; its totem is the Web, representing the decentred network of pure information [Introduction].

Ok...since I have been pregnant I have no interest in SEX. I love my husband and find him very attractive...but I got nothing!!! My Libido is gone. Is anyone else feeling this way? Is there anything I can do? I feel so bad that I can't make him happy. At this point my body is just saying no!!! HELP PLEASE!!!!!
Has Anyone else lost there interest in SEX once they became Pregnant
Kimberly Mommy to Gabriella Lorraine born June 1, 2004 and to Ayva Elise born June 26, 2009
Sex is safe until the day the baby is born assuming there are no problems. BUT
When pregnant:
50% of women's sex drive goes into the toilet
25% of women's sex drive stays the same
25% of women's sex drive goes through the roof
mine is the same way! i feel so bad that i don't want to have sex with DH but at the same time i am just NOT in the mood;) he thankfully understands!
mommy to two beautiful son-shines and two little lady bugs
I spend most of my time in the 50% Dr. K mentions and every once in a while I am SUPER in the mood. It's so weird. :) Hopefully your hubby understands it's the hormones and not your lack of desire. With my first baby, my sex drive didn't go back to normal until after I finished nursing (It was even worse during that time than when I was pregnant!). But, it came right back and all was well, which is how I got pregnant with baby #2. :) Good luck to you! It's totally normal!!!
I'm glad it is normal...but is there any foods I can eat to get me in the mood or anything I can do or do I have to just wait it out????
Thanks for your responses!!!
Kimberly Mommy to Gabriella Lorraine born June 1, 2004 and to Ayva Elise born June 26, 2009
A food to get you in the mood :) someone would make millions. My mind is still there but my body isn't.
my is definitely not as high as it was before I got PG, however, a friend of mine who is a soon-to-be-dad told me try to give in when it comes to sex in the first trimester if you can because in your last trimester your sex drive will skyrocket and then he will give in. It makes sense so I do it, however, last night I puked right after lol not my proudest moment but it happens lol
:o) Heather
mama to cw 9/2/09
Lol, I lost my drive once the baby came. . . but then since I tore the idea of something going into my vagina isn't exactly thrilling at the moment. . .
*army wife* to Adam since Nov 5th '07
*first time mom* to:
~*Mercedes Evelynn*~ due 12/23/08 born 12/3/08 at 37 weeks 1 day 6lbs 8oz -20 inches long.
I am the same way with my pregnancies. DH only lets me get pregnant to see if maybe I end up in the 25% through the roof group. LOL!
Pregnancy #1 we only had sex 1 time...
Pregnancy #2 we only had sex 4 times...
***Jess and Nick~ Jan 05***
Norah~ Apr 07/ Allan~ Dec 08/ Naomi Dec 10
This is exactly what's happened to me.. I use to have a very healthy sex drive, but now I don't feel like doing anything!! At first, he did make some smart comments--now he doesn't really say much, but I know he doesn't understand. It makes me feel super guilty and so insecure!

You win. No point in entering. *Puts away brushes and goes to bed*
Only one tiny detail has changed: dark energy isn't there. Expansion never happened. The big bang's powder got wet and there was a click, but not poof.
If we were there to see the results, the majesty of the result would probably look a lot like that shown below (yes, the scale is way off, but there are certain amount of artistic license that comes into play).
### Latest WIP ###
(There is a picture there; I didn't forget to upload it. I suppose I could embellish the map with borders, scale bar, and all of that, but I think that level of frills would detract from the overall artistic vision.)
You win. No point in entering. *Puts away brushes and goes to bed*

This is...ah...hmm..fumbles for words...a good idea I had a good laugh!

Welcome to the guild, but please stand back so we don't get exposed to goblin radiation LOL
Hello! I've frequented this website more times than I can count for maps for my D&D campaign. It got me into creating my own maps after not being able to find maps that lent themselves to my encounters/scenes. There is some amazing work on this site and it makes me eager to want to learn more about some of their techniques and process. I huge shout out to Bogie and JackTannery. Their maps are insanely good and I can only hope to achieve a similar quality of battlemap design as them.
I'm simply happy that a forum for this type of interest/community exists. And would be happy to be part of it.
Welcome to the guild, but please stand back so we don't get exposed to goblin radiation LOL
Welcome Gamma. It's much easier than it looks, honestly. You just have to keep experimenting. You can still make good-looking maps even if you are crap at art (like me) and can't draw (like me).
Welcome. We'd love to see some of your maps!
Welcome gamma, feel free to share some of your maps
Nice to have you GammaGoblinz!

I want to know about the improvements for Kickstarter payments outside of US.
I never had problems with online payments before on any MMO. I already spend over a thousand on Alteil through iDeal or Paypal. But what you're asking of me now is getting silly. A Debit Card is costing an additional E25(+monthly fees)~E40 to purchase here, and CreditCards are not easily or fast obtained (or even widely accepted) in Europe.
I just want to back E99,- on this project. It frustrates me as a longtime player and supporter of this game i get shut out.I had to lose my chance to back you on the EarlyBird special, and have to settle for 'kinda Early Bird' that honestly feels pretty sour. With 1 week to go there still aren't any other payment methods and i fear i might not get a chance at all.
Going this Amazon -and amazon only- route seems flawed to me. But it's YOUR product and if you don't want to/can't let me buy it, so be it. How rediciouless is it that a costumer has to beg a company asking for financial support to take his money?

... and thanks for visiting the "OLPC" related Wiki-Pages, for the One Laptop Per Child Universal Primary Education project regarding Europe. This website is a collaborative website in which you can create a login and then edit and add the pages. This tool is made available by the One Laptop Per Child not for profit. This is an "Open Community" project, similar to the Wikipedia, wikibooks and Open Source Community projects, like Linux, OpenOffice, etc. and it is working along Agenda 21 and Millennium Development Goal nr.2: Bringing Universal Primary Education. To edit text on this page or add pages, log in and and "edit page / save page" button will appear.
Intro to the project
Maybe a central question for Europeans: " Is there room for an open source AND open hardware laptop annex tablet in the EU Educational Landscape? While some EU kids may have an iPad class, may all be missing the boat?"
- 2' video - OLPC Intro part 1
- 2' video - OLPC Intro part 2
- 7' video: Impact on teachers, parents, kids, society.
OLPC has opened a legal OLPC entity in Europe; Belgium host the European Headquarters of OLPC in the magnificent surroundings at the befriended SWIFT company near Brussels.
Europe is a very multi-cultural society with a very diverse diaspora from and to just about all countries in the world. We hope that this diaspora will work their way to these pages and that societies will benefit from these citizens with one leg in Europe and another in their diaspora countries (of origin) to develop leadership for OLPC, Agenda 21, the MDG's and accelerate bringing the level that our planet can be a nice place for all humans to new and inspiring heights for generations to come.
Please feel free to create sub-categories or list or start collaborating, teaming up and expanding our and your projects, existing and new ones in one of these sub-categories:
About us
Community & Strategy
Get involved
The "Une Ecole Par Enfant/One Laptop Per Child - Initiative" has so many doors of entrance, one for just about every player in society:
- the ICT landscape obviously. You are an ICT teacher and you're looking for a great multi-disciplinary or specialized project your students can link-up with and put develop their ict skills: olpc community is there for you. You were an ICT student and you didn't contribute in Humanities'largest Educational Endeavour ever? That awkward feeling when your kid asks you that question and you realize you missed a boat or at least you're on the wrong ship?
- the Education landscape, pedagogy university departments obviously, but also cabinets of education interested to link up their educational landscape with the open source and open hardware community to give some resistance against the Microsoft's, Acer's, Toshiba's, Apple's, eBoard manufacturers, telecom operators obviously all eager to make money and hook up our students, parents and kids as nice compliant consumers ;) OLPC and the OLPC Community, the XO-XS laptop tablet: Welcome linking up in the largest educational effort ever undertaken
- Really, stop drafting these courses in your own little corner, join other teams in your discipline making the best ever eBook on your discipline ... imagine you get hired to personalise the version for a specific language/region or explain how to make such books and how they become interactive books in the OLPC XO-XS laptop/tablets ! When was the last time you checked if your Ministry of Education or the EU Directorate of Education has funds and calls for proposals to pay you for doing all this ?
- but also the industry interested in generating CO2e certificates via OLPC deployments, or for their CSR programs = Corporate Social Responsibility
- the health sector will be very interested in the OLPC link Health-teams with wonderful projects s.a. telemedicine, usb plug in eStetoscopes, eMicroscopes, eEchography for pregnant women
- economy students: econometry, by how much the gdp or wealth and happiness rises by implementing an OLPC deployment in a region
- Statistics: Dear statisticians, how does the OLPC deployments help in collecting data. Relevant, real time data that is comparable whatever the country.
- marketing: do you love the OLPC advertisements as much as we do ? Check out youtube or the OLPC logo creation team
- volunteers / retired but still loads to share: join bed-time story reading grandma's, enlist yourself so kids/OLPC community members can contact you when they are in need of help. The OLPC kids and families can television's you real time over their internet, using their OLPC XO-XS laptop-tabled that is equipped with wifi video cam + speakers and a microphone - what's not going as planned and you can what's going on, how to repair, how it will work, ...

In short, the spirit of OLPC includes one core thing: the community. This includes everyone, from the children and their families to their teachers and everyone who is collaborating towards the success of the project. Make sure you'll be able to tell your kids, grand-kids you were part of this great initiative. The largest, most comprehensive educational effort ever undertaken by Humanity, and you were part of it! Congratulations! Create a login, start writing who you are, what you can do, what you want to do, what you don't want to do anymore, how much time you have available, etc. Soon others will link up to you and start interacting. You'll be coached, trained as you are doing. Hey and since the OLPC community is worldwide, the OLPC help and help channels are there 24h/24h - 365 days a year !
- How to get in touch
- * #olpc-europe (and #olpc-groups) on freenode.net
- * #olpc on freenode.net (as there is so little english speaking olpc community in Europe -collapsed- and even world wide, it's better to link here) --SvenAERTS 22:59, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- * Grassroots mailing list.
- How to get involved
- There are various forms of participation, including:
- Community Building in Europe
- 21 January 2014, --SvenAERTS 19:19, 22 January 2014 (UTC) contacted ALL contacts he could find on ALL EU country pages on this wiki ==
I proposed people to have a look at the update Europe page and invited them for a Skype svenaerts call. The result: the next day not a single person has contacted me, nor on my Skype profile, nor here in the discussion pages. --SvenAERTS 19:19, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I expected that. There are very few users of this Wiki now, as judged by server logs and RecentChanges. Most active users are technical. Some of the Wiki accounts may not have e-mail addresses. All you have done is made a lot of edits, and perhaps I was the only person to notice. It goes to show that you should use alternate methods to reestablish community, and if the Wiki does not win this competition, so be it. --Quozl 06:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Grassroots Organizations
- Translating
- Developing
- Content creation
- ...
- Contacting the EU Ministers of Education/Responsible parties for Education in every EU Member State
- Can we give a lecture/workshop at your organization: " Is there room for an open source AND open hardware laptop annex tablet in the EU Educational Landscape?
While some EU kids may have an iPad class, may all be missing the boat?"
- Build a community. Identify and email the educational landscape players, ICT teachers clubs, ...
- Set-up a lab in every EU Region: Ask the Ministry of education where would be the best place to show-case and set-up such a lab, in collaboration with whom? Where could we best store / unload a 20 foot container holding 3.000 XO's ?
- Coordinate follow-up of emails
- FAQ and Most frequent mis-conceptions
- How much does the XO-XS laptop-tablet cost?
- A deployment can be financed by the CO2e certificates produced by a deployment of XO's and the additional revenues generated in the form of taxes: an ict literate and equipped society can add value to society more readily which translates in a higher demand of e.g. more complex mobile phone subscriptions,
- Do your society - parents a favor: how much money is wasted by the time your kid reaches 12 on all kind of ict crap? Starting with the mickey-mouse computer (25 €) and other electronic gadgets for toddlers (15 €), crawlers and kindergarden, then their first made-to-fail kids mobile phone that lasts 2 months (65 €), and a tablet that promised capability of surfing the web and that appeared to be a total lie (99 €)? Costs: 25 €+15 €+65 €+100 € = 205 €. The XO = only 160 €, made to be repaired and no strings attached.
## The XO-XS laptop-x-tablet is the best for kids learning laptop-x-tablet out there and you want it for your kids. You don't want to give a kid a 750 € iPad. What if dad goes sit on it when he drops on the coach after a days work and its broken? Or your kid drops it? You want a school that's reduced so it fits in a sturdy lunch box, with rounded corners, made to be repaired and upgraded. You're going to have a lot of fun with your kid: at the age of 2, you'll burst into laughs with talk the application that makes the computer talk back. At age 5 doing thousands of games. At age 10, typing, reading, making music, presentations, looking up stuff in the wikipedia, phoning, taking pictures, making movies, etc. At age 15: reading the temperature, measuring sound, voltages, currents, turning it into a robot and a flying drone, ... . Sure and then by the age of 16 you could buy an adult laptop or something. At least you'll still have the money for it !
Countries & Stateless
Please link your country page and the page stating OLPC YrCountryName. Note: the latter would be the starting page of an official OLPC USA/MIT approved country office. There is/was only one and that was OLPC Europe in Belgium/Brussels, lobbying at the EU (Comission, DG Education, EU Parliament, Council of Europe, ...) level and taking advantage of all the delegations with Prime Ministers, Presidents and Ministers of Education coming to one or the other high level event at the EU Brussels institutions. More on that at OLPC Europe. So normally the starting page for your countries' community is just the name of your country and not OLPC NameOfYrCountry. Please respect this otherwise other parties will mistake you for an official OLPC juridical personality with al legal and liability and copy-right issues that come with it. And you know in the USA some people can be quite sensible to all this.
Welcome to this lists of grassroots organisations, which feel somewhat part of OLPC Europe.
Please add yours :-)
There's one special one and that is that on the European territory, OLPC has an official legal entity near Brussels: the European Headquarters of OLPC.

Blacks are barely represented on the air and in management at Twin Cities television and radio stations. The MSRrecently examined four local station websites — WCCO (Channel 4), KSTP (Channel 5), KMSP (Channel 9), and KARE (Channel 11) and found:
WCCO: one Black female anchor, one Black anchor/reporter, one Black reporter
KSTP: No Blacks
KMSP: One Black reporter
KARE: No Blacks
The MSR also examined KSTP and WCCO Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Public File Reports for the December 1, 2010 to November 30, 2011 reporting period — the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that these reports are publicly available. KSTP-TV filled 38 full-time openings, including two meteorologists and three reporters. The station also reported the Council on Black Minnesotans, the St. Paul Urban League, Minneapolis Urban League, the Minneapolis NAACP chapter and the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) as among its recruitment sources.

Episode Plot
It seems lke a normal day for Ash and co. except for the fact that power around the area of Undella Town has gone out. The local Officer Jenny says the cause is a Rogue Dragonite that attacked the power plant just this morning. Meanwhile at the power plant, the Magnemite patrol and the guards were trying to chase after it in order to get Dragonite outside, but instead it went inside the control room. Once its in there, Dragonite use ThunderPunch to send large debris flying to block the doorway and seal it with Ice Beam to protect itself when its been injured. So it's up to Ash and co. to try and get it out. After they got there, Iris had one option to do is try to talk to Dragonite for what reason it came here in the first place instead of forcing it out, whether its innocent or not against Officer Jenny's wishes. Can Iris be able to soothe this savage, and injured Dragonite and become one step closer to becoming a Dragon Master? Yes.
- Ferrothorn
- Hydreigon
- Iris's Dragonite
- This episode shares few moments back in Nimbasa City when Alder can tell that Gigalith is innocent when its been hurt and gone beserk by mistake. So Gigalith won't be taken custody by Officer Jenny at all.
- This is the second time a character can tell a pokemon is innocent when its been injured, and lost control. So it won't be arrested by Officer Jenny at all. First was Alder in BW054: Ash Versus The Champion! when he figure out what cause Gigalith to go berserk because of that nail it stepped on. This time Iris told Officer Jenny everything that Dragonite did was an accident, when its protecting a Pidove flock from Hydreigon.
- They should've known better to hook up on the monitor of the surveillance camera in the forest. So they can see what was really going on from outside to the Power Plant when Dargonite was protecting a Pidove flock from a Hydreigon it was battling.
- Ash and co.(minus Dawn and Piplup) may have seen one Dragonite in Unova when it was a large skeleton fossil back in the Nacrene City Museum in BW014: A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!, but when they ran into one, its real.
- Who's that Pokemon?: Dragonite (US).

Pilbara shrublands
Pilbara region, Western Australia Photograph by Mike Fields
The Pilbara shrublands ecoregion, in the extreme west of Australia are classified as a deserts and shrublands biome; the conservation status of this land is Vulnerable. The region took its name after the Pilbara Gold Field, which was discovered by miners in the year 1885.
Location and General Description
The Pilbara shrublands are situated in a desolate western region of Australia. Considered a biome of deserts and xeric shrublands, the Pilbara ecoregion spans an area of about 69,400 square miles. Its red earth surface is underlain by rich oil, natural gas and iron ore deposits. The ecoregion is not a designated G200 area.
Biodiversity Features
The dominant plantlife of the Pilbara consists of acacia trees and shrubs, as well as drought-resistant Triodia spinifex grasses. Several species of acacia (wattle) trees are classified as endemic to the Pilbara region, and are thus the focus of conservation programs, along with wildflowers and other local flora specialties. The Pilbara is known for its broad variety of endemic species adapted to this harsh arid environment, including dozens of species of stygofauna, microscopic invertebrates which live underground in the groundwater of the region. The Pilbara olive python, the Western Pebble-mound Mouse, and the Pilbara Ningaui of the Hamersley Range are among the numerous animal species within the fragile ecosystems of this desert ecoregion. Birds include the Australian Hobby, Nankeen kestrel, Spotted Harrier, Mulga Parrot, budgerigars, and Sulphur-crested Cockatoos.
Hamersley Range National Park, Western Australia Photograph by Mike Fields
Current Status
This ecoregion is classified as Vulnerable.
Types and Severity of Threats
The Pilbara shrublands ecoregion faces threats from the mineral and petroleum extraction industries, as well as infrastructure development to support those activities. Detailed analyses of these threat levels has not been investigated.
Justification of Ecoregion Delineation
The Pilbara Shrublands Ecoregion includes the 'Pilbara' IBRA, comprising the large Pilbara Craton, which contains the mountainous Hamersley region, the Fortescue Plains, and the Chicester and Roebourne regions. Acacia and Triodia species are common (Thackway and Cresswell 1995).

Mary L.G. Theroux | Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty
Recorded: Thursday, March 26, 2015
Independent Institute Senior Vice President Mary L. G. Theroux testified on "Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty", before the California State Senate's Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, at the request of State Senator Jeff Stone. The witnesses spoke about California's Maximum Family Grant rule for families on welfare. The rule caps grants and does not increase grant money to mothers on welfare when they have more children. Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

Why choose wall-mounted?
If you have one or more rooms without exterior walls or windows, a wall-mounted ductless split system will work beautifully. The indoor air handler is sleek, unobtrusive and quiet. You need only a 2" clearance from the ceiling, so you'll have lots of placement options. All systems come with a remote control, so even units high on the wall are easy to operate. There's also an optional wired, wall-mounted controller for models over 18000 Btu. See our selection of wall-mounted ductless split systems.
Choose from single-zone cooling models, single-zone heat pumps that cool and heat, and multizone heat pumps that individually cool and heat multiple rooms.
- LCD remote for each indoor unit
- 24-hour timer and sleep timer
- Automatic, cooling, fan and heating* modes
- 4 fan speeds heating* or cooling, including a "quiet" setting
- Continuous 'Air Sweep'
- Auto-restart after power interruptions
- Auto-shut flaps close when unit is off for a sleeker appearance
- Washable, reusable air filters
- Removable front grille
- Auto-changeover*
- Low ambient operation
- Secured remote control holder
- 4 different transmitter codes to prevent unintentional interference with nearby units
- Optional wired, wall-mounted controller available for models rated 18000 Btu or higher
* Heat pump models only
Cool and heat up to four zones
Like other ductless models, a wall-mounted system consists of an outdoor condensing unit and 1–4 indoor air handlers connected by refrigerant and electrical lines that run through a 3" opening in an exterior wall.
- Single-zone cooling: This system has one outdoor condenser and one indoor air handler that cools one room. The new 115V models have cooling capacities of 9000 and 12000 Btu, and the 230/208V models range from 18000 to 33000 Btu.
- Single-zone heat pumps: This system has one outdoor condenser and one indoor air handler that cools and heats one room. Cooling capacities range from 8500 to 22000 Btu, and heating capacities range from 10000 to 27600 Btu.
- Multizone heat pumps: This system has one outdoor condenser and up to four indoor air handlers that cool and heat individual rooms. Each indoor unit is separately controlled for customized comfort settings, and units can be turned off in unoccupied rooms to save energy. Multizone systems are available in numerous configurations, with total system capacities between 18000 and 36000 Btu.
The advantages of Inverter Technology
Friedrich wall-mounted ductless split systems feature variable speed compressors and fans (called Inverter Technology), which reach the desired temperature faster, maintain it more accurately and reduce energy consumption with fewer compressor startups. Our wall-mounted ductless split systems can cool and cool/heat 1-4 zones. Multizone systems let occupants independently set the temperature for individual comfort. Units in unoccupied rooms can be turned off to save energy.
Hard-to-find 115V 9000 and 12000 Btu/h models are available. Capacities up to 3 tons.
Available in cooling-only and cooling plus heat pump models
- Cooling from: 8500-33000 Btu
- Heating: 10000-27600 Btu
System Components:
- 1 MW12C1J 1 Ton Indoor Air Handler
- 1 MR12C1J 1 Ton Outdoor Condenser
- 1 LCD Remote Control

Local police officer takes an interest in kids who are new to this country and ends up helping the whole community.
Greensboro -- About 4 years ago, Captain John Wolfe of the Greensboro Police Department found out about the Newcomers School. It's a school for kids who are new to the country. They can attend for a year to get acclimated before being put into a regular public school.
Captain Wolfe originally went to help the teachers. He wasn't there long before he realized the kids and even their families need him too. Many of the kids in the school don't speak English, and neither do their families. They may have come from a country where life wasn't very good and they weren't safe. Some of the countries have military police, where they protect the government instead of the people. In many cases, the police are to be feared.
Captain Wolfe recognized that fear and realized it wasn't only the children who were afraid of the police, but also their families. He set out to let the kids and parents know the police in the United States are here to help and not hurt them. They don't have to worry about being attacked by the police. It's even ok to call 911 if they need help.
Captain Wolfe has not only held informational meetings for the families with as many as seven translators present, he's taken it a step farther. He visits the kids regularly at school just to hang out with them. Last year, he even brought an ice cream truck with free treats for everyone.
If you would like to help the kids, they can always use clothing, coats and shoes. Many have come from tropical places and don't have what they need for winter. If you would like to help, contact Angel Katona at the Newcomers School at 316-5883.

The Colorado Avalanche Information Center says the danger of snow slides is high in the western mountains.
Officials said Monday a major snowstorm brought heavy snow last week, creating dangerous slabs of ice and snow that can easily trigger large, deep and dangerous avalanches.
On Saturday, there were at least five avalanches across the state, leaving one person dead.
Peter Carver, a 23-year-old Durango man, was killed and another man was injured when their backcountry skiing group was caught in an avalanche near Silverton.

Planting Prairie
Lawn, lawn and more lawn-acres of lawn! A huge expanse of crewcut green is pretty in an uncluttered, minimalist kind of way, but it sure soaks up water and chemicals, not to mention hours and hours of your leisure time. "You grow it to mow it," as they say, but what else can you do with a yard?
Planting a small area with prairie plants on your property might be the answer. Once it is established, you never have to mow or water it. All year long it provides a changing tapestry of eye-pleasing color. As a bonus, a prairie also attracts and supports wildlife.
"Prairie" is a French word meaning "meadow." It's the name early French visitors used for the extensive grasslands of the central United States and Canada. Prairies lack trees and shrubs. The bulk of their biomass, or living weight, consists of a variety of hardy grasses. Prairies also contain multitudes of wildflowers.
Before European settlement, about one-third of Missouri-nearly 15 million acres-was prairie. Most of our prairie lands were in western and northern Missouri. However, scattered prairie openings were found in the Ozark and Bootheel regions. Our state's largest metropolitan areas, St. Louis and Kansas City, were each about 40 percent prairie.
Prairies contain some showstopping species, including big bluestem, tall blazing star, compass plant and pale purple coneflower. Though spectacular, these individual species are only a few of more than 800 species of prairie plants. This vast diversity provides wildlife with a storehouse of nectar, seeds and forage. The showy prairie wildflowers also attract a variety of equally showy butterflies.
The largest prairie animals-bison, elk and wolves-no longer run free in Missouri, and the prairie's avian poster child, the greater prairie chicken, is rare and declining. Still, there are many bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian, and insect species that continue to use prairie habitats. These include dickcissels, grasshopper sparrows, meadowlarks, bobolinks, bobwhite quail, wild turkeys, prairie kingsnakes, western chorus frogs, ornate box turtles, prairie voles, cottontail rabbits and white-tailed deer.
What to plant
Missouri's tallgrass prairies historically supported hundreds of species of plants. Any given acre of that natural flower bed may have contained 50 or more different kinds of plants.
The standard approach for establishing a prairie plot of any size is to plant seeds of various prairie grasses and wildflowers. We suggest using seed, but potted or bare-root plants, available from most native plant nurseries, offer a viable way to establish wildflowers in
