Wild
As the heart of the global wilderness community for over 40 years, The WILD Foundation protects wilderness while meeting the needs of human communities, working across cultures and boundaries by collaborating with local peoples, organizations, the private sector, and governments to create dynamic practical projects and communications initiatives.
Working Vision of Nature Needs Half
WILD’s work promotes and demonstrates Nature Needs Half, a vision and a common-sense, practical approach that helps create a reciprocal, balanced relationship between people and nature, based on state-of-the-art scientific analysis and time-tested traditional knowledge and wisdom. The goal of NNH is to ensure that enough wild areas of land and water are protected and interconnected (usually at least about half of any given ecoregion) to maintain nature’s life-supporting systems and the diversity of life on Earth, to support human health and prosperity, and to secure a bountiful, beautiful legacy of resilient, wild nature. NNH requires a shift in our thinking – to recognize that we are part of nature, not separate from it. WILD is also the founder and steward of the World Wilderness Congress, the world’s longest–running, public, international conservation program.
Our Vision includes you!
Our numerous accomplishments for wilderness, wildlife and people world-wide are only possible with the support of generous donors like you. Go WILD and support wilderness world-wide by making a contribution at any level >
Wheels
Many car and truck owners decide to modify their vehicle to give it a sleeker, racing-like appearance. For this, you’re going to need a set of rims to complete the job. This usually requires a set of wheels a bit smaller than what you had on there originally. And this is where we come in with our vast selection of racing wheels. Chrome, gold, black or silver – our options are endless when it comes to rim selection. We can set you up with whatever it is you need.
Are you replacing your wheel rims due to safety reasons? If so, you’ll want something for strength and security, no doubt. Maybe you’ll want to go with steel. These rims are ultra-strong, super durable and relatively cheap all around the board. Regardless of what type of wheel you choose, rest assured knowing that our wide selection is the highest possible quality in the entire industry. Whatever you need, we have a set of rims for you.

Weather
Freese-Notis Weather, Inc. was founded by Harvey Freese and Charlie Notis on May 1, 1973. Harvey and Charlie had just received their MS degrees in meteorology from Iowa State University and were seeking employment. At the time, both the private and government job market in meteorology looked very grim. Therefore, Charlie and Harvey decided to try and start their own company. The name of the company was a natural for a weather company with their appropriate last names. The only “problem” (if you want to call it that) with the name was that during the first couple years of existence, some of the radio listeners during the summer months would get a little confused when the radio announcer would introduce the Freese-Notis forecast that some thought was a “freeze-notice” forecast. How was that possible in the middle of July? Actually, it turned out to be a perfect name for recognition and uniqueness.
The first client of the fledgling company was Iowa Power and Light Company, a utility located in central Iowa on May 1, 1973. That was the beginning of Freese-Notis Weather. A few months later, Freese-Notis had its first radio station as a client. During the Winter of 1973-74 several highway departments (cities, counties, and state) became clients as well. A few paving construction companies also became clients during 1974. Gradually, the company grew to have about 50-75 clients by the late 1970s. All of the clients during these years were either radio stations, construction, utilities, highway departments, and some weather related court cases. By 1979-80, Freese-Notis picked up its first commodity type client. This portion of the business grew rapidly in the late 1980s.
During the 1990s the energy industry became increasingly aware of Freese-Notis. Many of the largest Natural Gas and Electricity companies have been customers of Freese-Notis. A few of these companies include: Enron, Hetco, Dynegy, Koch, British Petroleum, Williams Energy, AEP, etc, etc. Even though many of these companies employ their own meteorological staff, they value the opinion of Freese-Notis sufficiently to remain happy subscribers. In the final analysis, markets closely follow what Freese-Notis forecasts.
The daily reports projecting the weather out to 2 weeks are prepared by Craig Solberg and Dan Hicks while the monthly and seasonal long range studies are prepared by Craig Solberg. Freese-Notis presently has more than a thousand agricultural and energy related customers.
Late in 1994, Freese-Notis developed an innovative method of delivering its weather and commodity products through the Internet. This strategic major investment has made Freese-Notis a leader on the information super-highway. Our domain name on the Internet has been designated as WEATHER.NET to illustrate our award winning unique type of business capabilities.
