Howdy Folks, Are you ready to kick start the week with an EXPLOSION Well I know I am... so000..... It`s time to introduce you to a company that could begin blowing up come tomorrow!!! This stock has slowly descended in the past few months to a price range that we findEXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE right now.
We recommend that you do your research on this one ASAP! Our BRAND NEW announcement is:
has tremendously climbed down in the last few months.
The stock was trading as high as $1.75 in April!! Along with most of the market
had a downward descent and reached roughly 50 cents just last month.
Since then it has been slowly climbing back up and is now nearly 70 cents! We think
may continue this UPTREND and could be on its way back to $1.00+ pretty soon! It was only recently that
changed its name to T5 Corp. and many may not know about the change yet or what new direction the Company is in.
`s new name reflects the change in business strategy to focus on the waste to commodity business in the oil and gas industry.
is in an industry that may be underestimated by many at how PROFITABLE it really is.
One of the most important things we can do for our planet is to recycle. With such a massive population, the world needs all the help it can get to sustain it and recycling plays a big role.
DId you know that by simply recycling ONE aluminium can, we are able to save enough energy to run a TV for around 3 hours
is focused on recycling on a much bigger scale by providing remediation and recycling services to the $250 billion+ oil exploration and production industry!! The Company also invents, manufactures, and operates revolutionary waste-to-commodity technologies within the energy industry.
is currently trading at: $0.68 If you think
shares look high priced, then quickly imagine how much waste the oil industry accumulates when drilling.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimates that approximately 1.21 barrels of total drilling waste are generated for every foot drilled in the United States.
Did you know a lot of this waste could equate to MONEY This is where
can step in!
specializes in the recovery of materials and the conversion of waste to commodity and works worldwide within the Oil & Gas Industry.
The Company adds great value to Oil Companies/refineries with their ability to convert their hazardous waste into marketable commodities.
is LEADING THE INDUSTRY by using their patented systems to transform spent catalyst, tank bottom sludge and drill cuttings.
In many cases
can convert a client`s disposal costs into a PROFIT CENTER!!
has already made significant progress on contracts in the Middle Eastand Kazakhstan! A Letter of Intent for the Middle East contract was signed in early June and the Memorandum of Understanding is expected to be finalized this month! The Kazakhstan contract negotiations are underway and significant progress is being made. The
team will be making a final trip to Kazakhstan in August of 2012 to complete technology demonstrations.
#1 On June 30, 2012,
has successfully completed a $1.3 million capital raise! The gross proceeds will be used to finance capital expenditures that service current contracts and a proposed acquisition to expand operations in the Bakken.
has entered into a five-year Teaming Agreement with Remedial Construction Services, L.P. (RECON), an environmental remediation services provider.
and RECON have agreed to jointly pursue remediation and recycling opportunities using their combined technology.
RECON will be primarily responsible for projects in North America and has agreed that
will be the exclusive technology provider in connection with mutually agreed projects and the remediation of soils and sludge using
`s indirect thermal desorption technology.
will be the prime contractor on projects outside North America and will have the right to employ RECON`S ionizer, organophilic clay and LSS technologies.
Patrick Garrett, CEO of
, commented, "The new capital and the RECON agreement provide T5 the opportunity to execute elements of our growth plan. Our management team is excited about the support investors are showing towards T5 and our long-term strategy. We expect that our current and pending contracts will generate significant monthly revenue commencing within the next several months." THE RECYLING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT INDUSTRY:
The waste management industry in the U.S. includes about 18,000 companies with combined annual revenue of about $75 billion! According to the United Nations Environment Programme, the global waste and recycling industry collects more than 11 billion tons of solid waste and generatesabout $410 billion in revenue each year! THE OIL DRILLING MARKET:
Now there are more oil rigs drilling than at any other time in history. According to the Company`s website, a drilling of a new well leads to production of 1,500 tons of contaminated material! With more than 2,400 oil rigs drilling in the US alone, this equates to more than 3 million tons of contaminated material!!
`s team has been recycling drill cuttings since 1992 and has developed proprietary technology specifically for this application! OIL
Oil lakes are prevalent throughout the Middle East and the former Soviet Union.
Oil Lakes created by war, vandalism, inefficient extraction methods, and other factors are estimated to contain more than 5 billion barrels of oil in the country of Turkmenistan alone!
has the expertise and technology to operate zero-oxygen solutions that are required to transform this waste into commodity and is currently negotiating with three different countries to clean their oil lakes!! Imagine producing a billion barrels of oil without the cost of exploration and extraction, while at the same time, eliminating environmental contamination! ABOUT THE COMPANY:

In 1995 Phil and his wife Mary bought their first Florida Keys home in Summerland Key. The Shannon's have used their blessings to retain the extraordinary spiritual, physical and cultural heritage of the beautiful Florida Keys. He supplied 1300 Foxtail Palm trees following Hurricane George's destruction to the area, donated two mega coral aquatic tanks to Mote Marine in the Eco Discovery Center and donated PC's to the Key West Catholic Elementary School. It was because of these actions that the title of "Honorary Conchs" were bestowed upon them by former Mayor Harvey.
Additionally, he is a firm believer in "civic responsibility." He fully funded the successful opposition to the 2000 Village of Lower Keys [from Little Torch to Cudjoe Key] Incorporation election. Many Marathon & Islamorada residents now wish they had voted against their incorporation. He also fully funded the successful May '07 Islamorada election which incorporated a 35' Building Height Restriction into the Islamorada Charter. To confirm Florida Keys residents attitude about the Area of Critical Concern Designation, he commissioned the nationally recognized Lake Research organization to conduct a scientific Florida Keys poll which established that 82% of likely Republican, Democratic and Independent voters are OPPOSED to RESCINDING the Florida Keys Area of Critical Concern Designation.
He firmly believes that the quality of life in our community is being compromised, our neighbors are being forced out of their homes and developers are actively trying to rescind protections that are the cornerstone of our Keys. Please join Phil and our Citizens Not Serfs' members to save the Keys.

As it turns out, longtime New Mexicans know about haboobs. We just didn't know there was a name for them.
The word "Haboob" was totally new to me and to most New Mexicans until a haboob hit Phoenix two years ago. When something hits the nation's sixth largest city, it's a bigger deal than when it hits Deming, or even El Paso, Texas.
When I grew up in the dry, windy 1940s and early 1950s, I can remember several haboobs. We called them big dust storms. My wife remembers them from El Paso. They looked like a very tall wall of sand coming toward us. We knew to run inside and close the windows.
The term haboob originated in the Middle East and that is where they most frequently occur. President Jimmy Carter's plan to free the Iranian hostages in 1980 was thwarted by a haboob. In fact there were two of them, a small one followed by a big one. They sent aircraft crashing into each other and destroyed a plan that otherwise might have worked.
The lack of awareness of the impending haboobs was blamed on poor weather forecasting in the nearby vast desert region. But it turns out that haboobs form quickly on the front of desert storms. Recently, both Carlsbad and Albuquerque have reported haboobs.

Today while at a NextLevel pharma event in Singapore, we heard a superb presentation by Sameer Desai of GSK's healthcare business. Sameer comes at emerging markets with a unique point of view that builds on a concept of what he describes as "delight, don't dilute." For those familiar with what I've written about earlier, much of what he describes has to do with design for the bottom of the pyramid, or what has been described as "frugal engineering." His perspective offered some very specific insights into what this concept means, the best example of which is Nokia's efforts in India.
Nokia's India cell-phone business may be one of the best examples of frugal engineering and bottom of the pyramid commercialization strategies ever developed and successfully developed anywhere. Led by Jan Chipchase, Nokia's former Chief Usability Researcher (his TED video here shows how his background as an anthropologist has been relevant to his work at Nokia). What Jan discovered when they went out into the field were the following boundary conditions that needed to inform what Nokia developed. They were as followed: an illiterate customer base, the phone would be the first of the family and in many cases the community as a whole, most villages would have irregular power supplies, the radio was their key source of entertainment, and the phones would have to survive in a dusty and noisy environment.
That is quite the combination of needs and obstacles. What came of Nokia's research was a phone that offered the following: a dust resistant keyboard with a rubberized shell-shock proof shell (farmers were going to be rough on the product), 5 different address books (mom and dad might share one, and another family member or someone else from the community could have their own), a 22 hour standby battery life, a built in FM radio with an integrated loudspeaker (this allows the farmers to take one less appliance into the field and further encourages user adoption as they can take one device and accomplish two common objectives during their work day), a built in flashlight (ditto!), a speaking clock in local languages, and loud MP3 ringtones. All of this was done with a product that was profitably sold for less than $30.
The result? Nokia has now sold over 250m of these phones around the world, primarily in emerging economies. User adoption has allowed Nokia to access complimentary revenue streams (Nokia's Lifetools, Nokia Money, and OVI email). Nokia discovered that once bottom of the pyramid customers bought a Nokia phone, they became very brand loyal. Keep in mind that while one could make a very conceptual argument that what Nokia has leveraged in part is "aspirational marketing", I would argue this is not what has driven Nokia's success in India.
Rather, what Nokia has discovered is that by doing good on-the-ground research of how potential customers live, the challenges they face, the needs they have in common, their engineers and product development people can design a custom solution for this segment of the market, an insight which is key to what Sameer called "delight, don't dilute." It's a simple but profound insight that success in bottom of the pyramid markets isn't simply about dumbing down or somehow economizing an existing product; many times it is about embracing your customers where they are and creating delight for them just as you would in more evolved markets.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Natrol, Melatonin, 3 mg, 240 tablets
7 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1303483 on Jun 10, 2009
Excellent product - will definitely buy again. Melatonin is great for people like myself who can be awoken by the slightest little noise [such as a moth rearranging it's wings in another room.] Taking Melatonin allows me to go straight back to sleep. Conversely if my dog wakes me and wants to go out, I am instantly wide awake and can get up, go outside, without feeling groggy, and still go back to bed and instantly fall asleep again.
I like!

I like this product. I have tried others, time release, etc., and I would still get up during the night (potty run) and not get back to sleep. These on the other hand (at least for the last couple of weeks) haven't done that which is most incredible, at least for me.
Sleeping like a baby!

I seem to have a sleep disorder. I've tried many sleep aids over the years. I finally gave up and asked my doctor for Ambien. It worked for me, but it's not worth the risk. In desperation I tried Natrol's Melatonin. It works! I can't believe it! Off to dream land....zzzzz
Excellent product

Does exactly what it shoud - it regulates sleep. Job done. However, it has a good balence of when it kicks in. Other products fall apart once they hit your tongue and have a pretty instant impact but wear off very quickly. This disolves slightly slower but the effect lasts longer

In the past I have always had a good experience with whatever I have ordered from IHerb. But recently I ordered 4 bottles of 240 tablets of Melatonin. I have taken Natrol brand of Melatonin for about 10 years now with good success. With this new batch that I ordered, I have begun to experience headaches with the one tab dose I take each night. I am confused. Shouldn't this be the same formula as always, or has it changed with maybe a new cheaper ingredient that would cause me to get a headache. I would appreciate your feedback on this. Thanks for your good service. Linda Monfort

Review: The Prisoner - Part Six: Checkmate
(E06) Well, that's that. All wrapped up nice and neat with a bow. Glad it's all cleared up and everything makes perfect sense... Did you read the sarcasm in that statement?
At this point, I can't tell if fans of the original The Prisoner will embrace this new iteration of the concept, or feel betrayed by it. Don't get me wrong, once all the secrets lie revealed, they've developed a pretty neat concept, and on that could quite possibly have sustained more than six episodes even. But was it The Prisoner?
I will give credit to all of the actors for their conviction in these roles. Ruth Wilson and Jamie Campbell Bower were particularly impressive as 313 and 1112. The layers of emotion that 313 displayed in her closing scenes with Two, and later with Six were just tragically beautiful. And 1112... well, tragedy appears to be the name of the game in the new Prisoner.
Review: The Prisoner - Part Four: Darling
(E04) If you cannot break a man with family, or mistrust, then you must try love. For love is the greatest of things after all, is it not?
it seems we've fallen into a familiar pattern with The Prisoner. Two tries various schemes and techniques to break Six and Six resists them all, either through his own ingenuity or through the help of other Villagers who are sympathetic to his situation. But we still don't know why Two is trying to break Six. This week's tactic was love, but love was explored in many ways throughout the episode.
Six's love of the woman from New York is so strong that it cross boundaries from that world into the Village world. But in neither case is it clear if the love is real, or something manufactured.
Review: The Prisoner - Part Three: Anvil
(E03) I'm no closer to figuring out everything that's going on, but I am more appreciative of the fact that the entire story will be done by tomorrow night. Things are so confusing at times, I'm not sure I can keep it all in my brain if I had to wait a full week between each of these episodes.
Tonight's installment focused on espionage and spying. The target of all this spying appears to be everyone, but the primary focus is on the "Dreamers," those people who have dreams and vision of a life outside the Village. You see, they're a dangerous element, particularly if they were to organize.
The leading suspicion is that they have already done so, but where and to what end? Two wants to find them so he can send them all down for "Treatment," while Six wants to find them so he can rally them to his own cause of finding a way out of the Village.
Review: The Prisoner - Part Two: Harmony
(E02) The whole strategy behind the Village has been turned on its head and it's certainly interesting to watch. Two is bound and determined to have everyone who lives there believe that the Village is all there is, there is no world outside of the Village and the Village is all they've ever known. He's even got tangible proof to back that up.
It's an interesting change from the original, and again makes you wonder just who would be willing to invest this kind of money into a bizarre prison like this. Is the citizenry drugged, or just brainwashed? Why is Six so adamant that he is not a number, he is a free man, if no one else in the village is so sure? Or are they just being more quiet about it?
We've even reached the point in the series where as a viewer I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is real, much less what Six is seeing and experiencing. But it was nice to meet his brother and see that he has a family in the Village. "Uncle Six" indeed.
Review: The Prisoner - Part One: Arrival
(E01) I can't help but feel tempted to compare this to the Patrick McGoohan classic from the '60s, but that wouldn't be fair. Attitudes, technologies and even our expectations of TV programming have changed so much in the intervening time. And yet, as an homage to the original, there are many elements to this new AMC mini-series that nod back to the classic paranoia suspense saga.
While The Village has been updated to be a much larger and more vibrant desert oasis (think kitschy Las Vegas) than the original's sleepy seaside villas, it's still as much an enigma, even in this first hour. And while Jim Caviezel doesn't command the role of Number 6 as powerfully as McGoohan, really who could? So I give him a pass, and enjoy him for what he brings, and try not to hear McGoohan's booming defiance when Caviezel shouts: "I am not a number! I am a free man!"
The Prisoner -- An early look
Some of that '60s nostalgia creeped into the architecture and dress of the Villagers this time around without overwhelming the tone, and I think it's a wonderful homage to the original. But I'm more impressed that this re-imagining manages to capture the same sense of paranoia and confusion that the first did, without simply retelling the same story in the same way. And it's those differences that are truly modernizing the story in a great way.
Nolan chooses another Batman over The Prisoner
While we're anxiously -- and optimistically -- awaiting the AMC remake of the classic Patrick McGoohan spy series The Prisoner, filmmaker Christopher Nolan has abandoned a big screen version of The Prisoner. Nolan reportedly will concentrate instead on a third Batman movie.
The Prisoner looks to escape the odds - Comic-Con Report
In a press conference at Comic-Con International Friday, the cast and creative team from AMC's six-episode remake discussed the rigors of re-envisioning Patrick McGoohan's landmark show.
Series stars Jim Caviezel and Jamie Campbell-Bower joined writer Bill Gallagher to greet the press after presenting a nine-minute trailer for the show to a packed Comic-Con panel.
The Prisoner will be free to appear at Comic-Con
The stars of AMC's mini-series remake of The Prisoner are headed to San Diego's mega-convention. The new Number Six, Jim Caviezel, will join Jamie Campbell-Bower (The Twilight Saga: New Moon) and Lennie James (Jericho) for a panel and preview of the six-part series.
The Prisoner tells the story of a retired spy who finds himself abducted and spirited away to a mysterious Village where nameless authority figures struggle to break his mind and spirit while he battles to escape. The show is known for its moral and existential themes as much as its sharp writing and distinctive art design.
Watch The Prisoner free online!
I cannot recommend watching this series enough, especially if you haven't already. I picked up the 40th anniversary DVD set with no regrets. It was quite revolutionary for its time and used a lot of story devices that were unheard of on television back then (such as having an entire episode be a story told by Number Six to a bunch of children). And let us not forget the signature attack-balloon, Rover.
I doubt the remake mini-series will hold up to the original as it was really a product of its time, but Ian McKellan is an excellent actor and his involvement is enough to pique my interest. I suspect that, much like many of the remakes nowadays, this will bear only a superficial resemblence to the original.
McKellan and Caviezel captured for AMC's remake of The Prisoner
AMC's The Prisoner is scheduled to be a six-part mini-series. It hasn't been made clear if those six parts are one hour, two or a combination of both, but either way the original wrapped up in 17 so there's no reason to think we can't get a satisfying tale in six installments. With casting of the two principals announced, it's actually safe to say now that this thing might really get made. AMC is cruising right along with their original programming, and after forty years, I think we're due a re-imagining of this classic series. And unlike the disastrous The Andromeda Strain at A&E, I have faith that AMC won't let me down ... don't let me down, AMC!
Details on the new remake of The Prisoner? - UPDATED
Supposedly, Jim Caviezel will play the Prisoner known only as Number Six, and Sir Ian McKellan is set to play the jailer known as Number Two. Six episodes will be produced and John Jones will direct.
This report sounds too good to be true. It's doubtful that either Caviezel or McKellan would slum it to a television mini-series from the movies they've been making. On the other hand, McKellan has put in television appearances before (such as Extras).
While I'm a fan of McKellan's work, wouldn't it be more loyal to the source material if multiple actors played Number Two? I'm just saying.
Shooting begins at the end of August (and scheduled to air next year). At that point, we'll see if the report is accurate.
UPDATE 6/30/2008: AMC Television has officially announced this series.
[via AICN]
Number 6 and the Village coming to a theater near you
Chris Nolan, the director of last year's summer blockbuster Batman Begins, is nearing a deal to direct a movie version of the cult classic television show The Prisoner.
According to the website comingsoon.net Nolan will direct a contemporary version of the show once he is finished with production of The Dark Knight, a sequel to Batman Begins. The movie adaptation of The Prisoner will be written by Janet and David Peoples (Twelve Monkeys, Blade Runner). It's unknown if this modern version of the show will connect in any way with the remake of The Prisoner that has been commissioned by Britain's Sky One satellite channel.
Only lasting 17 episodes back in 1967, The Prisoner featured Patrick McGoohan as a government agent who resigns, is kidnapped, and placed on an isolated island known as the Village. It's there that he is given the new identity of Number 6. If you are interested in getting a feel for the series, number one fan Michael Sciannamea is currently reviewing episodes of The Prisoner for TV Squad's Retro Squad column.
The Prisoner: Arrival
Do not adjust your web browser. You are now entering the Retro Squad, where we are reviewing past episodes of your favorite shows, in order, every week.
(S01E01) "I am not a number. I am a free man!"
You can't get much more "retro" than The Prisoner, which first appeared on British television in the fall of 1967 and then in the U.S. about a year later. It starred Patrick McGoohan, who also served as the 17-episode show's executive producer. (You may remember him as the warden of Alcatraz in Escape from Alcatraz starring Clint Eastwood.)
When you watch this show, it seems other-worldly. Granted, it's nearly 40 years old, but it also was ahead of it's time, especially in the blending of technology into the stories. (Dig those cool cordless phones!) It also has influenced many television shows and movies (just do a Google search and you'll see what I mean). It's very difficult to talk about a show you've seen many times and have enjoyed for just as long without giving away too much, but let me set you up with the basic premise and take off from there.
Doctor Who's Eccleston regenerates as The Prisoner's Number 6
Our fellow blogger and The Prisoner fan Michael Sciannamea will be happy to hear this!
The British satellite channel Sky One is giving a green light for a remake of the cult-classic The Prisoner, which aired on ITV from 1967 until early 1968. The new series would run for six episodes to be aired next year, which would be the 40th anniversary of the series.
There are unconfirmed reports that Number 6, the main character that was played by Patrick McGoohan, will be played by Christopher Eccleston. Eccleston is currently portraying The Doctor in the new series of Doctor Who episodes being broadcast in America on the Sci-Fi Channel. Eccleston lasted only one season on the show and was replaced by David Tennant in the series currently running on the BBC.
The remake of The Prisoner will stick to the original concept of the series: a government agent is drugged and sent to a prison called The Village after he resigns from service. While in prison people are referred to by their numbers rather than their names. This version of the series will probably have a modern shine to it. Perhaps it will take place in one of those secret CIA prisons we aren't supposed to know about.

Evaluate 1988 Chevrolet Corsica Wheel Rims (New, Used, Aftermarket, Custom)
Search our extensive inventory of 1988 Alloy Wheels and Steel Rims!
They say that quality isn't cheap. We say that they're crazy! We're currently offering a wide variety of 1988 Chevrolet Corsica wheels and rims for the lowest prices in the industry. And not only will you save money, but you'll pick up some extra quality. We'll help you with your purchase, explaining the difference in wheel sizes and materials, and when you're ready to buy, we'll ring up a price tag lower than any other place online. Quality you can bank on; that's our business standard.
All 1988 Chevrolet Corsica rims may look like they're created equal, but there's a lot more to a properly functioning rim than just being able to hold a tire. For example, steel rims and alloy rims are miles apart in terms of function. While steel is generally less expensive and heavier, it's also stronger and may be a good choice for a larger truck. Alloy wheels are lightweight and more attractive, coming in various finishes like gold, chrome and silver. Check out our huge selection of rims and find the best set for you.
1988 Chevrolet Corsica Wheels and Rims Dealers/Stores
When you're ready to purchase a new set of rims for your 1988 Chevrolet Corsica car or truck, it's time to get into the overall detail. Do you want them to stand out with a high-gloss finish? What about a basic, cheap set of 1988 Chevrolet Corsica rims with wheel coverings to add a bit of aesthetic flavor? These are all options to be considered before the purchase. Visualizing the automobile and what it will look like with new rims is an important step in the shopping process.
Shopping for a new set of rims for your car or truck doesn't have to be a difficult process at all. If you know what you're looking for, then you're halfway there. However, decisions are based on more than the size and shape of the wheel. It has to do with what the rims will look like on your auto as well. This means you want to be careful when selecting wheels. Something that looks good on paper may not look good on your automobile.

Ask the Dog Trainer: Flea control is important
VERO BEACH - Fleas and ticks can be a big problem for pet owners. In Florida, these parasites are a year round issue. No freeze means no break in the itching and scratching that comes with fleas.
The best pest control products are those available from your veterinarian. The two most common methods of controlling fleas are topical applications and pills. There are several products in both categories.
The most popular topical seems to be Frontline Plus. Frontline Plus is effective for ticks as well as fleas. To apply it, you must carefully open a plastic tube and apply the product to the dogs skin by parting the hair and squeezing the liquid to the skin between the dogs shoulders.
My personal experience is the tubes are tricky to remove from their protective casing. I often get some on my hands, which is NOT recommended. It seems difficult to hold the hair open and squeeze the product on to the skin. You should avoid contact with Frontline Plus, so no touching your dog where you have treated him until the medication is absorbed.
Frontline Plus takes 24 hours to spread across your dogs skin. Then an additional 4 to 18 hours to kills fleas, 24 to 48 hours for ticks. It does last 30 days and is waterproof.
There are assorted other topical products. Revolution treats heartworms as well as fleas. K9Advantix II kills fleas and ticks and repels mosquitoes too. Advantage Multi kills a variety of parasites such as whipworms, hookworms, roundworms & heartworms.
The two most popular oral fleas products are Comfortis and Trifexis. These are fairly easy to administer. Wrap them in some peanut butter or cheese and make sure your dog swallows it. No goop on your hands and no worries about touching your dog on the site of application. These tablets are fast and tidy.
Comfortis begins working within an hour. According to the literature, 100% of fleas are dead within 4 hours. That's pretty effective! Comfortis is my personal choice for flea control.
Trifexis has Spinosad, the same active ingredient as Comfortis. Trifexis treats heartworms as well as fleas because it contains an additional ingredient, Milbemycin. This is purely antidotal evidence, but I have heard of some major reactions to Trifexis. I know of seizures, drooling, vomiting and death in 1 dog. It's a small, non scientific sample, but it causes me to be concerned about using Trifexis. I understand it's convenient, but I think it's safer to use different products for fleas and heartworms and to avoid treating simultaneously.
My best advice is to consult with your veterinarian for the right choice in flea control for you and your pet. There are many features and benefits to each product available. Find the product that works best for you in your situation.

Nobody really wants the "1 person per project" situation. It just seems to happen. The office is filled with people. But they work alone. When they communicate, it's just talk, or a meeting where they tell each other about the lack of progress on their solo-projects.
It's not that anybody really believes, that "1 person per project" is the most efficient way of doing things. It just gravitates towards this situation, slowly, but relentlessly.
I think we need to appreciate the fruits of teamwork more in knowledgework. Although teamwork is highly praised, it's also cumbered by an air of excessiveness.In to many workplaces the model of efficiency is: Sitting at your screen frowning & typing. In such a climate teamwork will be considered wastefull... a lot of hours.
Here's my 4 power-reasons why working together will get you further:
Teamwork reduces waste from errors
I hate spending time correcting errors and doing rework on something that entered my desk already flawed. When working close together, teams will be able seek out and eradicate errors faster. Also, misunderstandings, fromwhen a project is passed on from one person to another, will be fewer if the persons working on project, sits in a team, and keep an eye on each other.
Teamwork allows for Faster Execution
When you have a bunch of people working together all day long at the same project, the project is always moving. The project isn't sitting in some mailbox waiting for the next person in line, like some poor schmuck in the airport, always standing in line to achieve even the slightest task. You probably know the situation. You need some minor job done by someone in another department. It's really just a 10 minute task. But in calendar time it ends up taking 2 weeks! A tightly lead team will be able to set a goal, and discuss how to get there fastest! Fast is good!
Teamwork leads to better Knowledge Distribution
"Ohh.. this is a system A job. It can only done by John. Because he made it." You know this situation. It sucks! Because John is always busy. He's the bright one. Everybody wants John. He is a real bottle-neck in your production flow. Everything slows down around John. Well if John worked on system A with someone else for a period, then this bottle-neck could be widened. And the value of John's coworkers would be hightened. Everybody has valuable information. In a team they get to share this with others.
Strong teams have Better Morale
This is perhaps my favourite reason to introduce more teamwork. It's good for morale. When you perform in a team you get instant appreciation from your colleagues. What you did meant something for your team. Together you build a foundation for pride in your work. I love this quote by Dennis Kinlaw:
Work and self-worth are the two factors in pride that interact with each other and that tend to increase the strong sense of pride found in superior work teams. When people do something of obvious worth, they feel a strong sense of personal worth. - Dennis Kinlaw
These are powerful reasons to start doing more together. It just takes a lot of focus. And this is perhaps the reason why it fails so often. Leadership needs to be in place. If you don't guard this way of working, it's destroyed. Lack of priorities will let your list of projects grow longer and longer forcing you to split up teams. And pretty soon you'll see the four horsemen of ineffectiveness riding through your halls.
- Suboptimization
- Knowledge Hoarding
- Priority Politics...and the final and most fearsome rider
- "Who gives a shit"
Happy teamworking!

'Tour de France' reportedly heading to Japan next October
ASO said to be in talks to host star-studded criterium in city close to Tokyo
Previous News
Next News
Tour de France organisers ASO are planning reportedly celebrate this year's 100th edition of the world's biggest annual sporting event by staging a race almost 10,000 kilometres away from Paris, in the Japanese city of Saitama, just north of Tokyo.
According to Channel News Asia, which cited a report in the newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, the race, a criterium, will be held in October under the Tour de France name. ASO and local authorities in Saitama are said to be close to reaching an agreement, after which a formal announcement will be made.
Saitama is claimed to have the highest levels of bike ownership in Japan – three for every four people – and the initiative, which is planned to become an annual event, reportedly follows the city's mayor visiting the Tour de France last year.
While post Tour de France criteriums are a long established feature of the late summer in France and elsewhere in Europe, letting the public get up close to the riders and usually following some kind of script – local hero goes up against star sprinter for the win is one typical variation – the planned event in Japan seems to be on a different scale, with a field comprising 50 riders drawn from leading teams.
Although there's no details of the proposed date as yet, the UCI WorldTour race the Tour of Beijing takes place from 16 to 20 October, so all the top tier teams will have riders in the Far East during the month.

The National Football League's All-Decade Teams have been determined by the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Selection Committee.
1920s | 1930s | 1940s | 1950s | 1960s | 1970s | 1980s | 1990s | 2000s
When asked to review the 1980s, it does not take long to determine that the decade was dominated by a relatively few number of teams. In fact, eight of the decade's Super Bowls were won by just three clubs – the San Francisco 49ers (4), Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders (2), and the Washington Redskins (2). The Chicago Bears and New York Giants rounded out the decade with one win each. Stating that, it is not surprising to see players from these teams all over the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1980s roster.
The NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1980s included 57 members, and close to 40 percent of the team (22) were members of a club that won a Super Bowl during the decade. Leading the way was the San Francisco 49ers with six members on the squad followed by the Redskins with five members, the Raiders with four players, and the Bears and Giants with three each.
Three players – Anthony Muñoz, Jerry Rice, and Lawrence Taylor – were unanimous selections to the All-Decade Team.
(First Team)
College: Tennessee
Pro Career: 1985-1992 Philadelphia Eagles;1993-98 Green Bay Packers; 2000 Carolina Panthers. HOF: 2006
White, the fourth overall pick in the 1984 NFL Supplemental Draft, recorded more sacks (124) than games played (121) in eight seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. He moved on to Green Bay as the NFL's first big name free agent to switch teams and continued his dominant play. A three-time winner of the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, White finished his career with a then-NFL record 198 sacks.
College: Villanova
Pro Career: 1981-1993 Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders. HOF: 2000
Long, at 6-5, 268 pounds, was an athletic specimen who was big enough to bull rush through an offensive line, but fast enough to turn around the corner and tackle the quarterback or ball carrier. An eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Long was tabbed as the Defensive Lineman of the Year in 1986.
(Second Team)
College: Oklahoma
Pro Career: 1976-1984 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. HOF: 1995
Selmon, the winner of the Outland and Lombardi Trophies while in college, was the Buccaneers first-ever draft pick in 1976. He immediately became the leader of the team's defensive unit and was vital in the team capturing division titles in 1979 and 1981. Selmon was a three-time All-Pro selection and a six-time pick for the Pro Bowl.
College: Virginia Tech
Pro Career: 1985-1999 Buffalo Bills; 2000-03 Washington Redskins. HOF: 2009
Smith, the first overall selection in the 1985 NFL Draft, took the league by storm when he earned NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. He continued to improve from that point and is now considered to be one of the greatest defensive players of all time. A first- or second team All-Pro choice 11 times, Smith finished his career with a record 200 sacks.
College: Maryland
Pro Career: 1975-1988 Dallas Cowboys. HOF: 1994
It wasn't until White moved from linebacker to defensive tackle in this third season that he began to emerge as a NFL superstar. By his fourth year, White was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year and began a string of eight consecutive seasons of first-team All-Pro selections. Named the co-MVP in Super Bowl XII, he was a Pro Bowl pick in nine consecutive seasons.
College: Arkansas
Pro Career: 1979-1990 Chicago Bears. HOF: 2002
Hampton, a first-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 1979, was an outstanding and versatile defensive lineman who earned honors at both defensive end and defensive tackle. In all, he was named first- or second-team All-Pro six times and was selected to four Pro Bowls.
College: Washington State
Pro Career: 1985-1991 Minnesota Vikings; 1992 Seattle Seahawks; 1992 Green Bay Packers; 1993 Philadelphia Eagles
Millard, who was drafted in the first round of the 1984 draft, played two seasons in the USFL before joining the Vikings in 1985. He easily transitioned into the NFL and led his team in sacks (11) in his first season. He continued to excel as he logged 18 sacks and was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1989. In all he was a first- or second team All-Pro selection four times.
College: Purdue
Pro Career: 1973-74 St. Louis Cardinals; 1975-1988 Washington Redskins
At 6-7, 291 pounds, Butz was one of the largest players of his era. A first round selection in the 1973 NFL Draft, his durability allowed him to play 216 games over his 16-season career. His finest season may have been in 1983 when he had 11.5 sacks, forced five fumbles, recovered a fumble and logged 69 tackles. For his efforts he was declared the NFL's Defensive Lineman of the Year.
College: North Carolina
Pro Career: 1981-1993 New York Giants. HOF: 1999
Lawrence Taylor redefined the position of outside linebacker. During his career he caused so much disruption to opposing offenses that teams heading into games against the Giants would spend an exorbitant amount of time focusing strictly on him. A ten-time Pro Bowl selection, Taylor finished his career in second place on the all-time sack list with 132.5.
College: Miami
Pro Career: 1969-1973 Baltimore Colts, 1974 Green Bay Packers, 1975-1983 Oakland Raiders. HOF: 1990
Nicknamed "The Mad Stork" due to his tall, lanky features, Hendricks was exceptionally strong, fast and a devastating tackler. During his career he intercepted 26 passes, recovered 16 opponent's fumbles, registered four safeties and blocked 25 field goals or PATs.
(Second Team)
College: Kent State
Pro Career: 1974-1984 Pittsburgh Steelers. HOF: 1990
Lambert, a second round pick of the Steelers in the 1974, was also a member of the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1970s. He continued to shine in this decade and was named to four of his nine career Pro Bowl berths in the '80s. In all, he was named first-team All-Pro seven times and was a two-time Defensive Player of the Year recipient.
College: Iowa; Ellsworth (IA) Junior College
Pro Career: 1982-1993 New England Patriots. HOF: 2008
Tippett, the Patriots second round pick in the 1982 NFL draft, didn't earn a starting position on his team until his second season. From that point on, he led the Patriots defense for the next 11 seasons.

He accumulated 37 interceptions for 671 yards and 4 TDs during his career.
Wow.. It's so great. and you can visit http://www.jerseystribes.com/. Thank you!
Dave Butz may be the most underrated player in the history of the Washington Redskins. He may be one of the more underrated D-linemen ever. I watched the Redskins for the guy's WHOLE CAREER, and the renown in which he is held surprised me. Like Chris Hanburger, he didn't give interviews, he shunned the press, and he wasn't Mr. Personality. In any popularity contest, this hurts you. On the field, he didn't speed rush or have a sack dance; he just moved the line of scrimmage backward, play after play, tying up two or more guys every play.
I don't understand why Ted Hendricks, Mel Blount, Jack Lambert, and Leroy Selmon are on this list. They are all great players and are in the HOF, but they did not even play half of the decade and at the end of their careers their best days were behind them. The one I feel the worst for is Leroy Selmon. He played on those horrible Tampa teams and his career was split between the 70s and 80s. The others are on the 70s decade teams.

When it comes right down to it, there are basically two reasons why I pray: I'm asked to as a professional, or I'm desperate. As a Presbyterian Minister, I'm regularly called upon to lead corporate prayer: before meals with friends or family, at church meetings, with Student groups, at bible studies, and, of course, during Sunday worship.
This is something all clergy get used to being asked to do. One of my friends got this clergy-to- clergy advice as she left for seminary: "Whenever anyone says, 'Pastor, would you pray?' the answer is always, 'I would love to.'"
Sometimes when I join non-religious friends for a meal, there is an awkward pause before we all pick up our forks. I can hear them wondering, "Is Aimee-the-minister going to want us to pray before we eat?" Even dyed-in-the- wool Presbyterians seem to defer to the religious professional when it comes to saying grace before a potluck supper. There is always a quiet moment after the tables are set but before everyone lines up to fill empty plates...and all eyes turn toward the pastor.
"I would love to," I respond.
Don't get me wrong; I am happy to lead a table grace or offer a closing prayer. But I wonder about this phenomenon. When everyone turns to the pastor for prayer, is it because the community perceives prayer as something the minister thinks is necessary? Do prayers feel perfunctory, sort of like being polite to God by offering "please" and "thank you" to the Divine under the watchful eye of the minister?
As a child, the daughter of a Presbyterian minister, I remember kids on the playground avoiding bad words and dirty jokes in my presence because, said one in a stage whisper, "Aimee's dad is a minister." The implication was that my dad had a direct line to God that could, if needed, get the other kids in trouble. Having heard my dad swear under his breath after hitting
I wonder if Jesus got called upon to pray at every gathering with the disciples. Perhaps that's why he taught them some all-purpose, all occasion words everyone could memorize: "Our Father, who art in heaven..."
his thumb with a hammer, I didn't have a clue what my classmates were talking about.
I often find that people seem to think prayer offered by a pastor has some kind of authority that is not present in the words of a lay person. Various churches and denominations may come to different conclusions on this point, but in Presbyterianism the people are the church. The pastor has no more power to talk to or influence God than anyone else. Still, there's something about the minister that seems to carry weight.
As an ordained, professionally-trained Christian minister, should I have some special insight into how to pray or how to say what God wants to hear? Perhaps, by virtue of spending time studying many faithful who have come before, I have resources from and knowledge of the myriad ways people have called upon God in times of celebration and need. Mostly, though, I just have more practice stringing words of prayer together in a way that sounds nice, or even just appropriate, in diverse situations.
But this can also be a problem. I am susceptible to the idea that, as a minister, I need to sound "professional" when I lead prayer. It is not uncommon for me to be thinking more about how my words of prayer sound and than about whether I feel and mean them in the moment. This is, perhaps, the other side of "praying because it's expected of you": you can start to believe that the beauty or elegance you give a prayer is more important than its sincerity.
I wonder if Jesus got called upon to pray at every gathering with the disciples. Perhaps that's why he taught them some all-purpose, all- occasion words everyone could memorize: "Our Father, who art in heaven..."
I have a small clergy group with whom I meet monthly for conversation, prayer, and Mexican food. The awkward pause before we dig into our burritos is usually rooted in the silent question, "Whose turn is it to pray?" While all of us are amenable to the task, each is also aware that we are all "professionals" and are regularly asked to pray "professionally." I won't speak for my colleagues, but in my head I'm often thinking, "Oh, I hope it's not my turn—it's nice to not have to lead."
Fortunately, in this particular group we often drop all pretense and pray the words that are truest: "God, I don't know." "God, I'm angry." "God, I don't understand." "God, I have sinned." "God, help." It's nice to express these words around other ministers, because they are sometimes hard sentiments for parishioners to hear. Clergy are supposed to be strong in their faith and connected to God, not scared, confused and in doubt. But such three- or four-word prayers are still the ones I pray when I'm desperate, and, even as a minister, they are the most common and most honest prayers I pray.
The time in my life when I was most consistent about personal prayer was while my mom was sick with cancer. I had a regular group with whom I prayed weekly for my mom's recovery, and I led something of a life of constant prayer myself: prayers for miracles of healing, prayers that God would use my family as an example of the power of prayer, prayers that the next phone call from home would be good news rather than bad, prayers that the tumors would shrink and vanish, prayers to awaken from the nightmare of waiting for your mom to die. I sent these prayers to the heavens as often as I thought about it, which was about every three or four seconds. Mostly, I prayed because I didn't know what else to do.
All of my prayers of desperation are like that, because they come at the moments I slow down enough to remember I'm not in control. We all know our illusions of control—over our lives, our jobs, our health, our security—are just that: illusions. But we exist in a world where every day we get ready for work, brush our teeth, and lock our front doors anyway, and it is easy to start thinking that we're in charge.
Watching my mom die in an easy chair in our living room was probably the moment when I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was not in control of my life or anyone else's. That day, I stopped believing God would protect me or my loved ones from pain and grief, and my prayer life (such as it was) changed forever. I still pray boldly for healing of mind, soul, and body, but I don't have the same hope those prayers will be answered. Even as I ask God for healing, I'm actually looking for strength and wisdom to deal with what is, and whatever is to come.
And so I pray desperation prayers all day long, even now. Sometimes these prayers start early in the day, like as I'm in the shower thinking about all that is on my plate. Usually, that prayer is, "How am I going to deal with this?" Sometimes, the desperation prayers come at night as I rest my head on the pillow. Those prayers sound more like, "How could I have done that?" or "Tell me it's not true" or, simply, "I don't know what to do." These prayers come from my lips unbidden, raw, and unvarnished, and totally aware of mortality and vulnerability and frailty. I pray them in the face of utter powerlessness, when there is nothing else I can do but hope someone is listening who has more power than I do.
I used to beat myself up about not having a more rigorous, regular prayer life. I know that for many people, the discipline of daily prayer time is a source of strength and centering in their life of faith. Perhaps it could be that for me, too.
But for now, I take comfort in the fact that prayers of desperation keep me honest and focus me on the realities around me today: the hundreds of thousands dead after the earthquake in Haiti ("God, have mercy"), interesting and perhaps unsettling changes happening in the office ("Be with us"), conversations—both promising and difficult—with students ("Thanks" and "Forgive me"), and successes and failures and unknowns all around ("Grant me love").
In the end, desperation prayers are bridges for me: between the professional realities of serving as a minister and the lived experience of being merely human; between modeling a life of faithfulness and honestly acknowledging my brokenness; between pretty, poetic prayers that lift the heart, and gritty, dirty ones that reveal both my faith and my doubt.
And I pray them all—sometimes because I'm asked to, and just about all the time because I'm desperate.

We got a drop camp deal worked out so I hope to be returning to the Pecos again this year. Will be applying soon. Missed it last 2 years.

Now that deadline passed I'm curious if there were any other nonresidents here that applied for Pecos archery elk tags. Really hoping we draw. We have a drop camp lined up.
I put in for the Pecos archery.
Which pool? Did you apply last year? The applicant numbers dropped last year for some reason. Can't figure out why, but I hope not many others noticed.
If they didn't, they did nowQuote:
but I hope not many others noticed.
But it's too late for them to do anything about it now. :p
I did not apply last year.
How often are you guys running into other hunters in 45 archery? I don't hunt NM but have considered starting to apply for it. That's after I get somemore experience. I'd rather screw up in Colorado where I can hunt the same place year after year instead of messing up on a low odd tag.

There are a variety of factors that impact the overall health of each state's residents. Current and future residents of Wisconsin will be particularly interested in how the state fares in terms of public health and the political leadership's approach to healthcare reform. The following is a summary of overall health and health care reform in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin health ratings
The Commonwealth Fund's Scorecard on State Health System Performance 2014 rated Wisconsin 7th out of the 50 states and District of Columbia – up two spots from their 2009 ranking of 9th place. Wisconsin's Scorecard includes details that explain how the rankings are decided.
The 2013 edition of America's Health Rankings also considered Wisconsin to be above average, but less so than the Commonwealth Fund, putting the state in 20th place. Factors that boost Wisconsin's rating include the state's low uninsured rate, and high rates of high school graduation and childhood immunizations. It's weighed down by low per capita public health funding, and high rates of infectious diseases and binge drinking.
The 2014 edition of Trust for America's Health also summarizes a large amount of public health information; available at Key Health Data About Wisconsin. You can also review county-by-county health rankings for Wisconsin, from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Population Health Institute at the University of Wisconsin.
Wisconsin and the Affordable Care Act
In 2010, both of Wisconsin's US Senators – Russell Feingold and Herbert Kohl – voted yes on the health reform law. In the House, the five Democratic Representatives voted yes, while the three Republicans voted no. Paul Ryan is among the nay votes, and has been vocal on the national stage in his opposition to the ACA.
Wisconsin's current Senators have both joined the Senate since 2010: Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin. Johnson is an ACA opponent, and brought a lawsuit against the federal government over the issue of subsidies for congress members and their staff (the suit was thrown out by a federal judge in July 2014). But Baldwin is a strong proponent of the ACA.
Republican Governor Scott Walker has long been strongly opposed to the Affordable Care Act, and the state defaulted to a federally-run marketplace using Healthcare.gov. But Walker has touted his approach to Medicaid as an innovative solution, even though it relies more on private health insurance and less on Medicaid than the ACA originally planned.
Although Walker is among the 24 Republican Governors who have rejected a straight Medicaid expansion, Wisconsin does not have the coverage gap that exists in most states that haven't participated in a by-the-book Medicaid expansion.
How did the ACA help Wisconsin residents?
Prior to ACA implementation, Wisconsin's uninsured rate was about 11.64 percent – significantly lower than the national average. That rate is projected to fall into the single digits (9.75 percent) as a result of the ACA, thanks to the premium subsidies in the exchange and the availability of BadgerCare Medicaid for people with incomes below the poverty level.
Although the state has not participated in full Medicaid expansion as written in the ACA, all low and moderate income legal residents have access to either Medicaid or exchange subsidies; there is no coverage gap in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin enrollment in QHPs
Early in the first open enrollment period, the Kaiser Family Foundation estimated the size of the potential exchange market in Wisconsin to be 482,000 residents, and that 301,000 of them would be eligible for premium subsidies.
As of April 19, 2014, after the first open enrollment period ended, 139,815 people had finalized their enrollment in the Wisconsin exchange, and HHS reported that 90 percent of them received subsidies to lower their premiums.
As a provision of the ACA, Wisconsin received $56.6 million in federal funds to create a Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OP). Nationwide, more than $2 billion was granted for CO-OP creation, divided among the 22 states that participated.
Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative is the newly-created CO-OP in Wisconsin, offering plans for sale in the Wisconsin exchange along with twelve other carriers: Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Arise Health Plan, Dean Health Plan, Molina Healthcare of Wisconsin, Medica, MercyCare Health Plans, Health Tradition Health Plan, Security Health Plan of Wisconsin, Physicians Plus Insurance Corporation, Group Health Cooperative, Gundersen Health Plan, and Unity Health Insurance. With thirteen participating insurers, Wisconsin's exchange has more carriers than every state but New York, which has sixteen.
Wisconsin Medicaid/CHIP enrollment
Governor Walker took a unique approach to Medicaid in Wisconsin. The state's BadgerCare Medicaid program used to cover people with incomes up to 200 percent of poverty, but with the availability of subsidies in the exchange starting at 100 percent of poverty, Walker cut BadgerCare eligibility down to poverty level, with the intention that people with incomes between 100 and 200 percent of poverty would instead receive subsidies to purchase plans in the exchange (they would qualify for both premium subsidies and cost-sharing subsidies at that income level).
About 72,000 people lost eligibility for BadgerCare under the new rules, but 83,000 others gained access to the program. It's not clear how many of the 72,000 who lost their Medicaid coverage were able to successfully transition to the exchange. Walker's approach has drawn praise from conservatives, but critics have noted that a straight expansion of Medicaid as written in the ACA would likely have benefitted more people and made access to healthcare more affordable for people living just above poverty level.
Under Walker's plan, 36 percent of the previously uninsured population in Wisconsin is now eligible for Medicaid or CHIP. As of mid-April, 81,274 people had enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP through the Wisconsin exchange. Enrollment in Medicaid is year-round, so that number has continued to increase over the summer.
Does Wisconsin have a high-risk pool?
Before the ACA brought guaranteed issue coverage to the individual health insurance market, pre-existing conditions could result in application denials, exclusions, and initial rate-ups in nearly every state, including Wisconsin.. The Wisconsin Health Insurance Risk Sharing Plan (HIRSP) was created to cover people who could not get individual health insurance because of pre-existing conditions.
Now that the ACA requires all health insurance plans to be guaranteed issue, there is no longer a need for high risk pools. As a result, HIRSP coverage terminated on April 1, 2014, and members needed to have applied for a new, ACA-compliant plan by March 15 in order to have continuous coverage.
State-based health reform legislation
Here's a summary of recent Wisconsin bills related to healthcare reform:

They take off their helmets to watch him put his on.
Still, Pierre Garçon didn't realize how connected to football American troops in Afghanistan were when he arrived there in early March.
"They wake up early to watch the games," said Garçon, a receiver for the Washington Redskins. "That's one of the [best] bonding times they have because everybody's waking up at the same reason at an odd hour.
"If their team wins or loses, that's how their week goes. That's what they talk about the whole week."
Garçon, New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham and Miami Dolphins punter Brandon Fields visited more than 1,800 troops in Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates during a USO/NFL Tour in early March. Many of those same troops will wake up and hustle to a USO center at 5 a.m. local time on Sept. 25 to watch Garçon's Redskins take on the New York Giants.
When compared to their predecessors, today's deployed troops have many more ways to communicate with friends and family back home. Technology has helped them stay connected to the people and teams they love while fighting on the front lines.
Troops routinely swarm USO Centers downrange on Monday and Tuesday mornings, where they can watch live streams of games thanks to the USO's longtime partnership with the NFL.
"A lot of people out there loved sports," Garçon said. "Sports was the one thing that kept them together. It was very surprising how dedicated they were to watching the games and keeping up with their team. [It made] them feel like [they had] a piece of home."
The trio of NFL players made 25 total tour stops, including a three-day whirlwind to bases around Afghanistan.
Garçon – who set a Redskins record with 113 receptions last season – laughed at the suggestion troops were lining up to throw him passes. While he did throw the football around, the group also spent time playing basketball (Graham went to the University of Miami on a basketball scholarship) and video games with the troops they were visiting.
In short, they felt like they fit right in.
"It was like … going over a friend's house and visiting," Garçon said.
The Redskins receiver said he had a cousin in the military and several more college friends and acquaintances who chose to serve. Their actions motivated him into pursuing the USO tour opportunity.
Garçon returned to the States with a bag full of patches, T-shirts and coins troops gave to him. And he said he wouldn't hesitate to do it all again if the NFL and military would have him.
"[We had] all kinds of interactions," he said. "Everybody was excited that we came, that was one of the things that stood out the most.
"It was definitely a memorable time."
