Why Does The Emergency Heat Light Come On

The Dome

Two jostled news this week: one for the great story and another for an intimate story.

The big story is the 5th anniversary of Katrina, let's face begins to bathe a lot of people. Overall, the city is getting better and better and only some really poor neighborhoods still retain visible scars from the flood.
Certainly there are those who have lost their homes, their work and sometimes a "loved". But overall it's past. Katrina made now part of the history of the city, as well as Bienville, Jean Lafitte and the Indian Muskogean. It is sung , filmed , sérisée institutionalized. The feature this year is another disaster made in Louisiana, "the BP oil spill." New Orleans does not seem to suffer from the disaster and the morale is anyway much better than early summer. The next weekend, as usual for Labour Day, Neworleanians avid saltwater and white beaches will rush in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida . It will do anyway careful not to drink the cup ... There are mussels, oysters and shrimp in all restaurants and often a bit higher than before the spill. And while there are burgers and fries, we are safe! History
less passes through the dome. The Superdome, the same one that was damaged by the hurricane, which housed the dazed crowd of civilians abandoned, which saw the Saints win the game on game last season. The same is being renovated Superdome: the money raised through victories in the NFC and NFL pay her new gold dress.

To celebrate and because places are cheaper than regular season, I went to see the last preseason game last Friday. It was like coming into the holy of holies: a crowd gathered around black and gold of his idols. From first glance, there is the dizzying prospect of Arches National Park, and say that the architect had places to camp in his youth, sitting by the fire, his head in the stars .. .
A good game with lots of points and a good win (36-21) of our beloved Saints against the San Diego team. Saturday, September 9, the first game of the season, "Dome", against the Minnesota Vikings ...

Does Stapels Laminate Paper

wet Homecoming

After two months of glandouille French, here we are languishing at the Louisiana.

burgers and beer-clim-mosquito punctuated money holidays. We again welcomed the new developments which, admittedly, are becoming rarer (is that the former reluctance from ...). Something new this year: we sell the furniture of friends parties last June (no, not receiving, band gossip!) This is an opportunity for us to organize our first yard sale. The car will not start, we live in roommate with cockroaches, the Gulf is dying ... Louisiana!
And then a lot of work these days to be ready to welcome our little ones: unpack the books arrived from France, put the books arrived from France, enroll students arrived from France, decorate the classroom (no one has a nice map cardboard in France to send me to France?), write the letter back, revise the discipline plan, read the student handbook, curriculum maps view, organize the schedule ... all this to finally stay home the first day of school! Five thank you! Louisiana thank you!
