Welcome to the Meals on Wheels website!
Thank you for your interest in our organization.
We were founded in 1972 by a group of compassionate Albuquerque women who had been studying problems of hunger not only nationwide but right here in their own Albuquerque community. They came across an article discussing a new program in the Midwest that served meals to the homebound called "Meals on Wheels".
From this spark the women agreed to study the project in depth with the hope of possibly adopting a similar program. And study, work, plan, and fundraise they did! Thus Albuquerque Meals on Wheels became a reality in January, 1972 with meals delivered to 20 clients. Each year we continue to grow and today we prepare and deliver over 140,000 meals annually.
Our services enable those unable to prepare their own meals to have a hot, healthy, well balanced meal delivered to their door Monday through Friday. Often thought of as only serving the elderly, Meals on Wheels serves anyone of any age who needs us. Some of our clients are recovering from surgery and only need our services for a few weeks all the way to Lorraine who at at 104 still lives independently and has been receiving meals from us for 7 years.
Not only do we deliver much needed nutrition but we also deliver a friendly smile to our clients' door. Our wonderful army of volunteers delivering meals each day grows to know and care for those they meet on their routes. Our clients know that someone each day is checking on them to make sure that not only are their dietary needs being met but that they are safe and healthy and not in medical distress.
Hunger is a critical issue not only in Albuquerque but nationwide and so we are grateful for any assistance we receive whether it's a gift of financial support (we receive no federal or state funding) or the gift of volunteer time. These gifts ensure that we can continue our mission of "nourishing bodies and spirits of the homebound with balanced meals and friendship".
Thank you again for your interest in our organization.
Samantha Blauwkamp
Executive Director
Dear Friends,
We are told, almost daily, by those we serve that our volunteers help bring so much joy into their lives. They brighten up their day, they occasionally help with small chores, they always ask about the clients well-being, but most of all they bring compassion with every meal they deliver. In fact our recent client survey revealed that 47% of respondents said our volunteers are the only person they see each day. What an amazing and dramatic statistic that is.
If you are interested in making a difference in someone's life please consider volunteering with us. Click here to view our Volunteer Data Sheet and join our Meals on Wheels Family.
Thank you for helping us with your time, your talent, and your treasure. You are making a difference every day.

Sharism is a term for the motivation and philosophy behind the collaborative building of value that results from sharing content and ideas. Inspired by user-generated content, Sharism states that the act of sharing something within a community produces a proper value for each of its participants: "the more you share, the more you receive".[1] As knowledge is produced through crowdsourcing, this new kind of shared ownership leads to the production of goods and services where value is distributed through the contributions of everyone involved.
History of the term[edit]
Coined by Isaac Mao in the essay "Sharism: A Mind Revolution", which was originally published in Freesouls, Mao draws a comparison between the open distribution model of online information sharing and the neurological networks of the human brain.[2] Following the analogy of an emerging Social Brain, Mao argues that the process of empowering people through sharing leads to collective ways of rethinking social relationships.
Sharism has been particularly focused in China in order to promote the Open Web and combat internet censorship.[3] Notable proponents of Sharism as both a term and practice have included Larry Lessig and Ou Ning. In 2010 during a Creative Commons lecture in Beijing, Lessig mentioned Sharism in the context of openness and innovation in creative industries and intellectual property law in China.[4] Also in 2010, Ou in his role as a curator choose Sharism as the unifying theme for the Shanghai biennale exhibition "Get It Louder".[5][6][7] In an interview about the exhibition, Ou discussed Sharism at length and described it as an "Internet concept" that explores the increasingly convoluted relationship between public and private realms."[8]
In 2012, Sharism Lab has been created with the purpose of providing experimental and theoretical background for a real-world implementation of Sharism.[9]
Events & by-products[edit]
Several types of Sharism events have been created for people to meet and share things they like or things they make. Sharism Forum was held in October 2010 at the Get It Louder festival in Shanghai,[10] and gathered international speakers, practitioners and activists to discuss the idea of Sharism.
Another event called Sharism Presents[11] offers an informal setup for people to share whatever they want with the attending audience. Since 2010, Sharism Presents have been hosted in many cities throughout the world, included : Amsterdam,[12] Shanghai,[13] Beijing,[14] Madrid,[15] Barcelona,[16] Brussels,[17] Berlin,[18] Montreal,[19] Singapore,[20] Hong Kong,[21] Tokyo[22] and Seoul.[23]
Sharism Workshops[24] provide a framework for collective production through the act of sharing. Workshops have been held in Beijing, Doha[25] and Warsaw[26] and have included musicians, digital artists, and designers.
In order to offer an easy way to share any kind of work online, the Sharing Agreement[27] has been created in order to work around the increasing complexity of licenses.
Within the art world, it has been suggested that there are "dangers of 'sharism'", which "lead people to believe that whatever is contemporary must also be avantgarde."[28]

i hope u feel better james plzzz james.First it was a foul.Next nobody helped u james.Last u have a broken nose and u are sore
Heat's LeBron James suffers broken nose
The Heat announced Friday that forward LeBron James suffered a broken nose during Miami's 103-81 road win over Oklahoma City on Thursday. The four-time MVP will be listed as a game-time decision when Miami hosts Chicago on Sunday.
The injury occurred midway through the fourth quarter with Miami leading 88-74. James took a shot to the face from Thunder forward Serge Ibaka as he completed a dunk in traffic.
On the play, James attacked the paint from the left angle, driving hard to his right to gain a step on Ibaka. Rising in the paint, he climbed the ladder over the top of Ibaka to finish a "throw dunk" before he appeared to absorb a hand to the face from Ibaka during his follow-through.
James immediately fell to the court on the baseline and looked face down at the hardwood as the blood poured. Play stopped shortly thereafter and he was attended to by his teammates and medical staffers.
"He's got a swollen nose right now," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said after the game, adding that James passed a concussion test. "It's sore. We'll reevaluate him when we get back to Miami."
Although James did not address reporters after the game, he joked on Twitter that he might have to wear a mask like Bane, the villain in Batman.
James has played in 52 of the Heat's 53 games this season. He sat out a December game against the Blazers in Portland with a minor groin strain.
Miami improved to 39-14 with the victory over Oklahoma City.
This is all wrong, it wasn't Ibaka's shot block attempt that broke his nose, it was either him or Westbrook, not sure which one, slashing for the ball as he drove the lane.
Ibaka is dirty. Just ask Blake Griffin's balls...................................
One last comment on this....first off, it was a foul...(twice) How do those idiots miss that...second, stop calling them a dunk when the hand is nowhere near contact to the rim. It was a throw down...Griffin has mastered that...and you sport writers keep calling them dunks. Stop it. And lastly, to the Bron haters out there who are happy he broke his nose..( you people are whats wrong today with sports/sport fans in general, you applaud an injury. You're sick people...get help.
Good i hate that stupid 300LB Ape LEFLOP! James all he does is flop around everywhere an try to work the Ref from every angle for the call every single time his nose was busted for a reason i hope it happens again he ever played in Jordans era he would have been a star but would have not been treated like hes God
This is typical Ibaka. A cowardly, dirty player. He keeps doing this and keeps getting away with it. Look at the slo-mo. He's going for the face. Some shot blocker.
Was that a hand/wrist that hit dude in the face, or was it a sniper's bullet? He passed the concussion test afterward, so it obviously was just a glancing blow that caught him. Did he really have to roll around on the ground like that? I'm a soccer fan, and even I thought that was too much play-acting (and btw-, most soccer fans HATE the fake injuries as much as anyone else does, and should).
Man's game, bro, man's game.
Exactly! Great comment!
@Justin37 Oh, and when you compare a black man to a 300LB ape...that's called racism. You my friend, are a racists. Also Justin, you might want to work on your grammar and punctuation. It shows your level of intelligence.
@Justin37 Haters gunna hate....Why bother read the article and comment if you hate the man this much...go away.
@RonHawkster There was definitely more unnecessary follow through after his hand was already a distance away from the ball and Lebron's arm. Definitely an intention to hit. Ibaka is right up there with the Ron Artests of the world. Ibaka is a dirty player.
@RonHawkster Guy is seriously dirty. Remember his low blow on Blake Griffin?
@RonHawkster Yeah, it kind of did look like he intentionally tried to hit LeBron in his head. I wondered about that.
@RonHawkster Yup...because Ibaka has broken so many noses with his face sniping....
Break ur nose & I wanna see ur reaction
@Mr_A A 'glancing blow' can really break someone's nose like that? Obviously it was more than just a 'glancing blow'. And it's the nose, you could also have trouble breathing. And acting fake injuries is much worse in soccer than the NBA, so don't even compare.
There were grammatical errors throughout your post.
This went on the wrong comment. . Was ment for the idiot that said manup
But is post is 100% on point

Fiery Orioles manager Earl Weaver dead at 82
|FILE - In this July 13, 1974 file photo, Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver literally "flips his lid" as he protests a call by home plate umpire Marty Springstead during a baseball game against the Chicago White Sox in Chicago. Weaver, the fiery Hall of Fame manager who won 1,480 games with the Baltimore Orioles, has died, the team announced Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013. He was 82. (AP Photo/File)
BALTIMORE — Earl Weaver always was up for an argument, especially with an umpire.
At the slightest provocation, the Earl of Baltimore would spin his hat back, point his finger squarely at an ump's chest and then fire away. The Hall of Fame manager would even tangle with his own players, if necessary.

8234 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS | Directions 6620438.978817 -94.667861
Neighborhoods: South Lakes
Mr Gyros in Overland Park, KS on Metcalf and 82nd – We have been costumers for over 8 years, we sometimes used to go their more than twice a week, and the service did change a lot in the last past year and a half.
The cooks are Mexicans and not Greek, the pastries gotten smaller, there is price gauging and yes they do not allow to chose the pastry, just like the other customer mentioned. Once they charged me for a plate of dolmates, when I only ordered 3 pieces and the price difference is 5 dollars extra and they never apologized or try to correct or make up for their mistake, nor did they ever refund my money, they never even said sorry. Today we still went back and tried to make business with them because the food used to be tasty, however the Mexican employees were closing 7 minutes early. I tried to talk to the owner, and he said he tried to make the employees happy. Hello, I wasted my gas going there ! I was there at 8:52 PM. False hours, lazy people ! I thought one wants to make their customers happy ! I have never in my life have seen anything like this, closing early for no reason turning a repeat client down. I will NEVER, repeat : NEVER go there again. Rudest people on the face of this earth , I will not contribute a dime of mine again to make their business prosper, they really made me angry this last time ! And yes, they never give napkins unless one asks for it specifically. If they are Greeks they should adopt to the style of the US, I am shocked that now they have a second location with this sort of attitude and business manners. Charging for extra sauces ? I can understand when they charge a bit more at some places for guacamole because avocados are expensive but for cucumber sauce, for that 0.5 ounce ? Greedy and lazy people with an attitude, they never smile and always rude by the way, but this was it, denying service during regular business hours for us, well dressed repeat clients, who do these people think they are ???? The gift of their so called Greek Gods's on Earth ?
great food fast – Although I was dissapointed they did not have menu on line or in the phone book, I decided to drive and try it. Not bad
Awesome – Best greek food I have ever had. You have to try it!!!!!

WEC is a family of managers, musicians, sound engineers, photographers, videographers and DJ's, all working together to create great bands, great music and great events. It is a family of artists in collaboration. TnL is a product of that collaboration.

C. Barnes Project
"The Funk and R & B Band that Worked with the "Duke of Earl", Gene Chandler!"
The C. Barnes Project is 10-piece party entertainment band that specializes in R&B with the flexibility to play other areas of music for your event. They perform live music at weddings, private parties, college events, concerts and corporate functions moving fluidly between different types of affairs with an ease that you don't always find in R&B bands … but then, the C. Barnes Project is known for its professionalism as well as showmanship. The male lead vocalist, known as O'Neal, has a rich baritone voice that can growl on songs like Sam & Dave's "Hold On, I'm Comin" and purr with emotion on Al Green's "How can you Mend a Broken Heart." His energetic performance style was honed up and down the eastern seaboard including MD, DC and VA parties and events. and never fails to leave audiences wanting more.
Our female lead vocalist, Shelia Walker, shows her versatility and flexibility as she sings oldies, Latin, R&B and all with the same flair … going from Aretha to Britney to Sade to Gloria Estefan without missing a beat. … And the horns!!! They are what give the C. Barnes Project its Big Band sound. Whether complementing each other in unison or hitting those "Memphis-like" harmonies, this trio (Charles Barnes-trombone, Albert Anderson-saxophones, and Gordon Wade-trumpet and party/vocal grooves) ROCKS! Now, we've highlighted the horn section, but watch out for that rhythm section as well! Between the five rhythm section players, this party entertainment band incorporates about 90 years of solid experience! Headed by bass player Kenneth Jackson, these guys have exactly what it takes to get the job done.
The keyboard player Wayne Greenidge seems to know every song written in R&B and beyond. Guitarist Vernon Brooks has never met a chord or a song that hasn't rocked; nor has he met any that he couldn't own … " And the team-up of percussionist (Arvel "Butch" Howerton) and the drummer (Charles Barry Wellman) is the most exciting since the Escovedo family showed up on the scene.
Did we mention that The C.Barnes Project served as Gene "The Duke of Earl" Chandler's back-up band? According to Gene, "They are a great bunch of quality musicians who know how to rock down the party, and they are very easy to work with…" The band gets glowing recommendations from everyone with whom (and for whom) they've worked; and the list includes Percy Sledge, Gloria Brown, and Chick Willis.
Liverpool Beat
"A full blown project and a labor of love, dedicated to reliving the sights and sounds of Beatlemania!"
Liverpool Beat is comprised of four very talented party entertainment musicians that came together in 2001, through an ad in the Musician's Grapevine. As practice began, the Lads soon realized they could not only duplicate the music of the Beatles, but match their incredible vocal sound as well. The result was a full blown project and corporate and private and public event band and a labor of love, dedicated to recreating the sights & sounds of BEATLEMANIA. Relive this timeless musical experience with LIVERPOOL BEAT as they bring their knockout performance of the early years (62-66), to every show, party and corporate event they do. See the Lads in the original costumes, instruments, amplifiers, accents, as well as being the "Most Entertaining Show I've Seen In Years", as stated by Shelly Cecchett, director of the FIRST NIGHT DOVER New Year's celebration.

The following are excerpts from statements and columns:
Hamas Gives Israel Excuses to Attack
At a Ramallah press conference following the Israeli military operation in Gaza, Palestinian Information Minister Riyadh Al-Maliki said: "As the force in charge of Gaza, Hamas must bear the responsibility for its citizens' [wellbeing], and must not give Israel an excuse [to attack] by launching primitive rockets from Gaza. These rockets do not kill Israelis [but] accidentally hit Palestinians. They achieve the opposite of what is intended, causing hundreds of Palestinian civilians to be killed."
Al-Maliki added, "By staging a coup against the legitimate Palestinian [authority] in Gaza, and with its useless rockets, Hamas has given the international community an opportunity to disregard the situation in Gaza." [1]
Harsh criticism of Hamas was also voiced by the Al-Azhar Sheikh Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi, who said that the Hamas' rocket attacks were useless and would only bring trouble upon the Palestinians themselves. [2]
Hilmi Al-Ghul, political advisor to Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayadh, attacked Hamas for boasting of victory over Israel when hundreds of Palestinians had been killed as a result of Hamas' actions: "What victory are they talking about? Do the massacre of [Palestinians] and the destruction of Gaza's vital infrastructures count as a victory? Where is the victory in that? Over 120 [Palestinians] have been martyred, and over 300 have been wounded, while [on the Israeli side] only two or five have been injured. Is that a victory? Why doesn't the Hamas leadership do a [simple] cost-benefit analysis?...
"If there was a victory, it belongs to the [Palestinian] people and to its [rightful] leadership, represented by [Palestinian Authority President] Mahmoud Abbas and by the government of Salam Fayadh. [This victory] belongs to all the citizens who rallied to the defense of the [Palestinian] people and the [Palestinian] cause by every means [at their disposal]. It belonged, and continues to belong, to those who call to restore our national unity. It belongs to those who seek to achieve our national aims with minimal loss of life among the people, and to end the siege, the oppression, and the aggression.
"Oh leaders of the useless [Gaza] coup! The aggression is not ceasing, and the blood continues to flow from the Palestinians' veins - so will you stop shouting [empty] and deceptive slogans? Will you return to your senses and to your people, and give up the wretched notion of establishing an [Islamic] emirate [in Gaza]?" [3]
Kuwaiti Columnist: Hamas Is Responsible for Palestinian Deaths
Kuwaiti reformist Dr. Ahmad Al-Baghdadi wrote in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa that Hamas bears sole responsibility for the Palestinians' plight in Gaza:
"Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli attacks, triggered by the launching of a few Hamas rockets that [did no more than] wound one or two Israelis. [This prompts us] to ask: Is there anyone rational in this insane movement called Hamas?... How long will this madness last?
"I do not say this out of compassion or empathy for the Palestinians, for they are paying for the folly of following Hamas, which rules Gaza with funds [that come] from the Gulf... The Palestinian people, whom Hamas has placed under siege in Gaza, have been reduced to begging Hamas for charity. Due to the moral laxity of its members, this movement [Hamas] is not above stealing food from the mouths of the Palestinian people - food donated by the Gulf states...
"The truth that the Palestinians refuse to see... is that their daily suffering - the deaths and wounding, the unemployment, and the power outages - are mostly [the result of] the arrogance of [Isma'il] Haniyya and his movement. [Haniyya] controls this movement by means of a gang that does nothing but terrorize the Palestinians, brutalize them on a daily basis with [the help of] its gunmen... and [provoke] ongoing Israeli attacks.
"If the Palestinians [really] support Hamas, as they claim, they should stop complaining about what Israel is doing. Do they expect the Israelis to shower them with flowers rather than missiles? Hamas - whose leader appears only at rallies, like [Hizbullah Secretary-General] Hassan Nasrallah... - bears sole responsibility for the death of Palestinians [which is occurring] on a daily basis... In light of their insane insistence on launching improvised rockets [into Israel], they bear sole responsibility for the destruction of Gaza... " [4]
The Only Alternative to the Present Gaza Scenario is a Peace Agreement
Lebanese columnist Jihad Fadhel wrote in the Qatari daily Al-Raya that an agreement with Israel is the only logical solution to the Palestinian problem: "The harm that Hamas is causing Israel (through its rocket attacks on Sderot and Ashkelon) [is negligible] compared to the harm caused by Israel to Gaza... But [Hamas] harms the Palestinian cause even more by its negative attitude towards the [peace] agreement that Israel and the PA are trying to advance.
"For the first time in the history of the Palestinian cause, that is, [for the first time] since the establishment of Israel in 1948, there is hope for a real agreement which can bring about the establishment of a Palestinian state... But [now, when the Palestinians] should be uniting behind this demand in hope of realizing all their aspirations, we see Hamas pursuing a policy not dictated by logic or reason - for logic and reason demand an agreement [with Israel], while the alternative is the scenario that we are currently witnessing in Gaza - a scenario of disasters that not only harm the Palestinians in Gaza but strike at the very heart of the Palestinian cause...
"No Palestinian liberation movement can make any headway in the conditions prevailing today in Gaza, [especially] when its will is subjugated to that of strong external [powers], which direct it according to their own orientation and interests.
"Regardless of the [valid] criticism that can be leveled at the government of Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas] and Fatah, there is no doubt that their [decision] to pursue an agreement is logical and unavoidable..." [5]
Syria and Iran Are Exploiting the Palestinian Problem
Some articles stressed that Syria and Iran were funding Hamas and directing its activities, and that a motivation in doing so was to divert the attention of the upcoming Arab summit, to be held in Damascus at the end of March, from the Lebanese presidency crisis to the Gaza situation.
Kuwaiti columnist Nasser Al-'Utaibi wrote in Al-Siyassa:..."In an obvious and deliberate move, Syria and Iran are pressuring [Hamas political bureau head] Khaled Mash'al and Hamas to escalate the [fighting] with Israel prior to the Damascus summit. This [move] has two goals: first, to divert the summit's attention from the main issue [on its agenda, namely] Lebanon's rights, its independence, its sovereignty, and its freedom to elect its own president without pressure from Iran and Syria... and second, to force the Arab leaders to attend the summit because Israel is perpetrating a massacre against the Palestinians...
"The Arab nation is tired of regimes, groups, power centers and self-interested [parties] exploiting the Palestinian cause as a pretext for [waging] wars... All peoples are familiar with this exploitation of the [Palestinian] problem, and with the harm these forces have done to the Arab nation in the past 50 years. They do nothing but [shout] high-flown slogans, issue statements that are never put into practice, and spend huge sums of money on weapons at the expense of the people's wellbeing and quality of life. Can anything be worse than the conditions in which the citizens of Syria and Iran are currently living?
"We feel sorry for the Palestinian people, which fallen prey to the leaders in Damascus and Tehran... It pains us that innocent Palestinians are dying because of the stupidity of their leaders, who cleave to their positions [of power], pursue their own interests, and succumb to the [pressures of the] Iranian and Syrian regimes instead of looking after the interests of the Palestinian people..." [6]
When Will the People of Gaza Wake Up?
Columnist Muhammad Hashem wrote in the reformist website www.elaph.com: "Hamas, and the Syrians and Iranians who fund it, bear the sole responsibility for the recent scenes of bloodshed in Gaza. Today they are the happiest of men, since, [with the world condemning Israel for the attacks on Gaza], they are no longer under political pressure to stop transforming Gaza into a terrorist entity and to be more receptive towards the calls for peace emanating from Fatah and the Palestinian Authority...
"The goal has been achieved. Hamas celebrated when extremist organizations from the Gulf and the Iranian and Syrian governments showered it with funds as a reward [for escalating the situation in Gaza] - funds which enable its leaders to build themselves palaces outside Palestine, [while] using the bloodshed to advance their own agenda - which is based on nothing but killing.
"Hamas was truly elated when the calls by its sheikhs in the mosques - who have now been made government ministers - were put into practice, and the death toll among Gazan civilians was jacked up in order to embarrass the Palestinian Authority. Khaled Mash'al's shrill clamoring was clearly [intended] to ignite a war, as [Hamas'] only way to extricate itself from the mess in Gaza.
"Amidst all the tumult of Hamas' clamoring and the deaths of innocents, nobody paid attention to the countries that were supporting Hamas, and that were planning moves aimed at embarrassing their rivals... at a cost of innocent lives.
"Does Iran realize that it is party to the murder of innocents in Gaza because of its support for Hamas' [foolhardy] actions? Has Qatar considered, even for a moment, withdrawing its financial and media support for this wretched and loudmouthed movement? Does Syria realize that its involvement with Hamas does not lessen its isolation [in the international arena] but increases it?
"Will the people of Gaza wake up and rebel against Hamas and its financiers, and thus send [its members] scurrying like rats for cover, along with the Al-Qaeda cells, both dormant and active, [in Gaza] - as happened to the remnants of Al-Qaeda in Iraq? We hope that they will." [7]
Also, Al-Sharq Al-Awsat editor Tariq Alhomayed wrote: "Syria and Iran must be questioned about the seriousness and efficacy of the actions of their allies in Hamas - both those who remain in Damascus and those who hide in their holes in Gaza. Did their rocket [attacks on Israel] benefit the helpless Palestinian [people in any way]? Or have the people of Gaza been left to deal with the death and destruction on their own, while the Hamas leaders flee to safe hideouts, calling this the 'prudent' way to wage war with Israel...?"
