Tropical storm set to delay Gulf oil fix NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AFP) – The formation Thursday of a tropical storm looked set to force the evacuation of drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and prolong a three-month environmental and economic nightmare. Admiral Thad Allen, the former US Coast Guard chief leading the response to the oil spill crisis, had warned that if the looming tropical depression was upgraded to a storm he was likely to pull out the vital rigs. The National Hurricane Center confirmed the bad news shortly after 2200 GMT, saying winds had strengthened to 40 miles per hour (65 kilometers per hour) and announcing, "Depression becomes tropical storm Bonnie." Skimming vessels were ordered to port ahead of Allen's decision -- expected at 0100 GMT Friday -- which could see t...

The History of Father's Day Father's Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards. In fact when a "father's day" was first proposed there were no Father's Day cards! Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a "father's day" in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smart, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife (Mrs. Dodd's mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a ...

AN OPEN INVITATION: An open house can be a welcome mat for potential buyers Depending where you are in the real estate equation, the concept of an open house can be at once thrilling and terrifying.For the buyer, it can be the chance to get to see the inside of a home. And not just at any time, but spiffed up for company, dressed in its finery.For the seller, it can be a mixed bag. Getting the house ready to show can be a task unto itself, making certain everything is in tiptop shape. But it can be an exciting time because a buyer might walk through the door and fall in love with the house and make an offer that day.It can and does happen.Realtors look at the process as having more than just one advantage for buyers, sellers and agents. It gets people to see the house and gives buyers a...

Saints will visit area hit hard by Gulf oil spill Sun Jun 6, 6:43 pm ET METAIRIE, La. – The Super Bowl champion Saints are heading down to coastal Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana on Tuesday to visit areas affected by the Gulf oil spill. Coach Sean Payton says the Saints initially planned to attend a lunch at the governor's mansion in Baton Rouge that day, but Gov. Bobby Jindal and the team decided it would be more appropriate to meet at a site that is now suffering from the worst oil spill in the nation's history. Payton says he expects the Saints to bring along the Vince Lombardi Trophy and hopes the coaches and players can provide moral support and help keep the attention on the plight of residents whose livelihoods and way ...

Food gained by fraud tastes sweet to a man, but he ends up with a mouth full of gravel...Proverbs 20:17 The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him...Proverbs 20:23 A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare...Proverbs 21:6 Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life...Proverbs 22:4 A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor...Proverbs 22:9 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips...Proverbs 24:26 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth...Proverbs 27:1 As iron sharpens iro...
