In recent weeks we looked at resources for the grieving and bereaved. One of the most impressive projects we found during our research was Comfort Zone Camp. They provide help for a group that is among the the most vulnerable when it comes to grief – children. In the camps young people who have experienced the death of a loved one can find support, understanding and be among themselves. We liked the idea so much that we wanted to introduce CZC and the work they do in detail. Read the rest of this entry »
"Life is really just beautiful moments, one right after the other. . . . I want to be remembered as a kid who went down fighting—and didn't really lose " – Zach Sobiech
One of the videos that went viral on Youtube in 2013 was the single "Clouds" by an until then unknown singer/songwriter from Stillwater, Minnesota of the name Zach Sobiech. His song deals with a battle he had been fighting for years and which, sadly, he was about to lose. On 20 May 2013, Zach Sobiech died of bone cancer. What he leaves behind is the incredible story of a person who turned his own passing into something life-affirming.
Dealing with loss and grief is painful and never easy. However, it can be made even harder if you don't know where to turn to. Luckily, with the internet it is now easier than before to find help and connections. In order to help people in need we have curated a number of resources that offer support on your journey.

Many times through our lives, we touch her invisible hand. Sometimes knowingly, sometimes without our knowledge. Until the day she finally grabs our arm and pulls us firmly in her direction. You cannot say no to her. For those who believe in the Bigger Plan, she can be a destination in herself. For those who don't, she marks an abrupt end to our dreams. Read the rest of this entry »
When the loved one of somebody close to us has passed away, it can be hard to know how to react. Of course we want to help our friend, partner, or colleague, be there for them and comfort them during this time, but we often don't know what is the right thing to do or say.
We are afraid we might intrude or do something wrong that will just make matters worse or put additional strain on the grieving person. And that is the last thing we want to do. Therefore things quickly get awkward. In this blog post we want to address the question of how to deal with another person's grief and provide some guidance on how to support them in their trying time. Read the rest of this entry »
One year ago today the world of photography lost one of her great members. Martine Franck was a Grand Dame of photography. For her anniversary (and because we have at least one fan among the MemoValley team), today we want to honor Madame Franck with a more detailed portrait of her life.
"Let your life be your message." – Mahatma Gandhi
After taking a look at your life priorities in the last post, you should have more clarity on the direction you would like to see yourself going. You can now use this perspective to determine where you currently stand and where your course is taking you.
Evaluate yourself against the backdrop of what you determined in the funeral exercise. Go through the different parts of your life – family, friends, business, community – and notice where you make out holes and incongruities in the light of your findings.
The idea is not to judge yourself and give yourself a hard time but to discover what is important to you and where you are not pursuing or living up to your purpose. Make an honest assessment whether the course of your life matches what you would like your legacy to be.
Life is a continuous cycle of creation and demise. We are born and we die. Those who came before us leave us a world to live in. Those who will be here after us will have only what we leave them. It will be our legacy.
Few people ever stop and think about what their legacy will look like. We are too busy living our lives – day-to-day affairs, working, planning, doing things. Besides that, it is an uncomfortable question because it forces us to think about a time when we are no longer here, and who wants to do that? Yet it is a question worth asking.

Losing someone you love is a painful experience. One moment the person is there, the next moment they are gone. It's traumatic and something we wish for nobody to experience. But death is a part of life and sooner or later we all have to go through losing someone we love. And while the person is gone, we are left with the sadness, grief, and pain.

Berkeley Symphony Premieres Samuel Carl Adams' Violin Concerto
The Berkeley Symphony's concert on Thursday, February 6 in UC Berekely's Zellerbach Hall featured the world premiere of Samuel Carl Adams' Violin Concerto, alongside Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite and Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony. The program fit together well, and with the works complemented each other. By the time conductor Joana Carneiro took the stage to give her welcome message, the hall was full enough it gave the impression of a sold-out show. Even if the concert wasn't officially sold out, it is always wonderful to see a full house at a new music concert!

Working in the United States
Health Care Worker Certification
Foreign nationals seeking admission to perform labor as health care workers, other than physicians, are only admissible to the United States if they present certification from a USCIS-approved credentialing organization verifying that the worker has met the minimum requirements for training, licensure, and English proficiency in his or her field.
Specifically, the certification verifies the foreign national has:
Health Care Occupations Requiring a Certification
The following health care occupations require a certification under 8 CFR 212.15(c):
Please note: Nurses have an alternative certification process. A foreign nurse may present a certified statement from the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools or an approved equivalent independent credentialing organization verifying that the foreign nurse:
See section 212(r) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
Providing Valid Health Care Worker Certification
A foreign national worker in an affected health care occupation must present a valid health care worker certification each time he or she:
The certification requirement is no longer applicable once the worker is a lawful permanent resident.
Organizations Authorized to Issue Health Care Worker Certifications
The following organizations are authorized to issue certifications for the following health care occupations:
These organizations are approved by the Secretary of Homeland Security in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services. See Pub. L. No. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135.
Submitting Health Care Worker Certifications
Immigrant petitions:
For immigrant petitions, there is a two-step process:
Step 1: Generally, the Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, is first filed by an employer on behalf of the prospective foreign national worker. In adjudicating the I-140 petition, USCIS reviews all eligibility requirements. This review includes examination of the beneficiary's educational qualifications.
Step 2: If the foreign national worker is in the United States, he or she may file a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. It is only upon the filing of an I-485 that the health care worker certification is required and will be used to determine admissibility for adjustment of status.
If the foreign national worker is living outside the United States or living in the United States, but chooses to apply for an immigrant visa abroad, USCIS will send the approved petition to the Department of State's (DOS) National Visa Center (NVC), where it will remain until an immigrant visa number is available. The foreign national worker must present the health care certification to the consular officer at the time of visa issuance.
Nonimmigrant petitions:
For nonimmigrant petitions seeking admission, an extension of stay, or a change of status, there are two considerations:
Consideration 1: The petitioning employer files a Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, for approval of the foreign national worker's classification as a nonimmigrant. In adjudicating the petition for the classification requested, USCIS reviews all eligibility requirements, including licensure, if applicable. The health care certification must be presented at the time of visa issuance or admission (if the foreign national worker is visa-exempt).
Consideration 2: If the foreign national is already in the United States, the Form I-129 may also serve as an application to extend the period of the foreign national's authorized stay or to change his or her status. Although the Form I-129 petition classification may be approved, the application for an extension of stay or change of status will be denied if the petitioner fails to submit the health care worker certification required by law. See 8 CFR 212.15(a).
Please note: USCIS does not accept health care worker certification as the sole evidence that the foreign worker has met the minimum requirement for the given position and is, therefore, eligible for the requested visa classification. While the health care worker certification verifies the worker's credentials for admissibility into the United States under INA 212(a)(5)(C), it is not binding on DHS. See 8 CFR 212.15(f)(1)(iii).
Role of Certification in the USCIS Adjudication Process
USCIS uses the certification to verify the worker's credentials for admissibility into the United States. See INA 212(a)(5)(C). Additionally, USCIS must ensure that the health care worker also meets educational requirements for the classification and any applicable licensure requirements. In reviewing the worker's educational documents, USCIS considers the education credential evaluator's opinion in conjunction with a review of the foreign national's relevant education credentials (if submitted), and other available credible resource material regarding the equivalency of the education credentials to college degrees obtained in the United States.
In the course of the adjudication, USCIS may refer to educational equivalency resources to clarify an individual's academic credentials, although information from such sources is not binding. For example, if one of the resources indicates that a Bachelor's degree from the home country of the foreign national worker represents a level of education that is comparable to a Bachelor's degree in the United States, the degree would not qualify the individual for the EB-2 advanced degree category unless he or she also has five years of post-baccalaureate progressive experience. In such cases, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence asking the petitioner to provide evidence demonstrating that the beneficiary has either a United States advanced degree or foreign equivalent degree or has a United States bachelor's degree or a foreign equivalent degree, and evidence in the form of letters from current or former employer(s) showing that the beneficiary has at least five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience in the specialty.
USCIS Criteria for Educational Equivalency
The USCIS criteria for educational equivalency are explained in the eligibility requirements for the specific nonimmigrant or immigrant classification.
For instance, employment-based second preference immigrant petitions (EB-2) for members of the professions holding an advanced degree must establish, among other requirements, that the worker has met the minimum requirements for the position. Specifically, the beneficiary must have an advanced degree. See 8 CFR 204.5(k)(2).
(A) An official academic record showing that the foreign national has a United States advanced degree or a foreign equivalent degree; or
Health Care Credentialing Organizations' Criteria for Educational Equivalency
The credentialing organizations' educational equivalency criteria are also guided by the statutory and regulatory requirements for the particular nonimmigrant or immigrant classification. The certification process sets guidelines for educational equivalency that focus on the:
The credentialing organizations must evaluate the worker's education to ensure that it:
However, the credentialing organization's evaluation is not binding on DHS. See 8 CFR 212.15(f)(1)(iii).
Renewing the Health Care Certification
A foreign worker's certification must be used for any admission into the United States, extension or change of status within the United States, or adjustment of status within 5 years of the date that it is issued. See 8 CFR 212.15(n)(4). For this reason, the certification is only valid for 5 years. This ensures that the individual continues to meet the regulatory requirements for issuance of the certification. Therefore, if the foreign worker has not used the certification because he or she has not been admitted to the United States or adjusted his or her status within 5 years of when the certification was obtained, a new certification is required at the time he or she seeks adjustment of status, to change or extend status with USCIS, or when seeking visa issuance by DOS or admission at the port of entry.
Please note that certification does not remove requirements for licensure, if applicable.
However, the credentialing organization must have a formal policy for renewing the certification if an individual's original certification expires before admission to the United States or application for adjustment of status. See 8 CFR 212.15(k)(4)(viii). The credentialing organization is limited to updating information on licensure to determine the existence of any adverse actions and the need to re-establish English competency, and therefore does not re-evaluate the educational credentials when renewing the certification.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is TALULA!
Facts about TALULA
- Breed: Boxer
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
TALULA's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Talula was just saved from a high-kill shelter. Once she settles in, we will update her profile.
Please fill out an adoption application. After review, one of our volunteers will contact you to answer your questions and to set up a home check and a meeting with the dogs. Inquiries WITHOUT the application will NOT be answered. Here is the link:
Other Pets at Sachi Animal Rescue SF Bay Area - Alameda
Why Adoption is a Great Option
TALULA, a Alameda Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Alameda, or seeking a Boxer dog from a breeder in Alameda.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Alameda already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Alameda breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Alameda paves the way for another one to be saved.

Convicted molester asking for new trial
By Ruth Ann Krause Post-Tribune correspondent December 2, 2012 4:44PM
Updated: December 3, 2012 9:14AM
An attorney representing a man convicted in October of child molesting said he plans to seek a new trial based on evidence he recently received.
Defense attorney Donald MacNeil said new evidence came to light Tuesday night in the case involving Brandon D. Stewart, who had been scheduled to be sentenced by Lake Superior Court Judge Salvador Vasquez for child molesting, attempted sexual misconduct with a minor and two additional child molesting counts.
MacNeil said he plans to prepare an affidavit of the witness statement and file a motion to correct errors. MacNeil said he will seek a new trial on behalf of his client.
Vasquez noted MacNeil should have filed the motion to correct errors in the case within 30 days of Stewart's conviction, which was on Oct. 24 after about four hours of jury deliberations.
Asked by the judge if she knew anything about the latest development, deputy prosecutor Catherine Breitweiser-Hurst said she had been informed that a relative of Stewart's was trying to coax the victims to change their story and say they lied during the trial.
Vasquez scheduled a Dec. 14 hearing on the defense motion.
Stewart, 28, faces a 20- to 50-year sentence on the most serious of the charges.

WASHINGTON, December 16, 2012 – Now at the National Theatre in downtown Washington, Cameron Mackintosh's hyperkinetic new 25th Anniversary production of Les Misérables is a knockout in nearly every way. The energy, the pathos, the excitement, the romance—all of it's there in this modestly re-imagined, slightly slimmed down production that's notable for the high quality of its vocal artists as well as the smooth, clockwork-precise morphings of its perpetual-motion sets.
Starting out in 1980 as an under-realized musical concept in Paris, Claude-Michel Schönberg's, Alain Boublil's, and Jean-Marc Natal's Les Misérables, was not brought fully to life until Herbert Kretzmer provided an excellent English translation of its French-language lyrics which helped bring it to London. The re-tooled and lavishly budgeted show received mixed reviews after its 1985 official premiere. But almost from the start, audiences didn't care what anyone said. The show became a monster hit and an integral part of London's surprising Broadway invasion.
As regular theater goers likely know, Les Misérables, the show, is based on Les Misérables, the 1862 Victor Hugo novel: a sprawling, epic tale, Dickensian in depth and scope, that's ultimately centered around the failed Parisian uprising of 1832. It's as much a social commentary as it is a compelling story, pitting the haves against the have-nots, the callow rich vs. the (usually) virtuous poor, and the amorality of the ruling classes against the crude but logical social code of the less well off. That said, there is still enough ambiguity on both sides to keep things realistic and interesting, albeit thrillingly melodramatic as well.
Les Misérables, the show, carves out much of this melodramatic stuff, transforming it into a compelling evening of musical theater that, if not quite Victor Hugo, provides the essence of this French masterwork with surprising economy and almost cinematic pacing.
The essential plotline of Hugo's novel is retained in this show. Through re-telling and flashback, we learn that Jean Valjean (Peter Lockyer), Les Miz' central character—who starts out in life as your average lower-class Frenchman—has spent nearly twenty years in the French prison system for stealing a loaf of bread to help feed members of his extended family. As is often the case in a brutal prison environment, he exits the system as not a very nice guy. Down and out, he's treated kindly by a Parisian bishop (James Zanelli) but repays the kindness by swiping the bishop's silver.
Caught with the contraband by the man who proves to be his chief nemesis, Inspector Javert (Andrew Varela), he's bailed out by the bishop who insists he'd given the silver to Valjean to help him get a fresh start in life. Inspired to lead a better life from this point on by the bishop's noble act of charity, Valjean vows to do better with his second chance and proceeds to do so. But he's continually haunted by the presence of Javert, as the two engage in a perpetual cat-and-mouse game that would be familiar to fans of the American film and earlier TV series, "The Fugitive," in which the relentless Lieutenant Girard pursues the innocently convicted physician, Richard Kimble.
Eventually becoming a businessman and even a village mayor of a Parisian suburb, the disguised Valjean effectively adopts Cosette (portrayed as an adult by Lauren Wiley and briefly, as a child, by Erin Cearlock or Abbey Rose Gould in alternating performances), the daughter of the unfortunate prostitute Fantine (Genevieve Leclerc). In doing so, he pays off the nasty Thénardiers (Timothy Gulan and Shawna M. Hamic), who, in caring for Cosette treat her badly even as the indulge their own young daughter, Éponine (played as a child by either Ms. Cearlock or Gould and as an adult by Briana Carson-Goodman).
We fast-forward again with Jean Valjean no longer mayor, still fleeing from Javert, and now living incognito elsewhere in Paris with Cosette, who's now become a beautiful young woman. They find themselves in the middle of troubled times as an uneasy alliance develops between the downtrodden lower classes and French student sympathizers who work themselves into a revolutionary fervor as they oppose the French government and elites. Cosette falls in love with one of the students, Marius (Devin Ilaw).
After violent trials and tribulations we ultimately arrive at a bittersweet ending to this epic tale in which love, friendship, loyalty, and courage ultimately prevail against society's wickedness.
Abandoning the famous scenic turntable of earlier Les Miz productions, the current show instead adopts a somewhat more economical but still quite impressive series of constantly shifting sets, props, and backdrops that's not particularly lavish but is thoroughly evocative. And, in the case of the opening galley scene and the later pitched battle scenes, the sets and scenes are quite compelling.
In addition to the passion, romance, and action that make this show a good deal more visually exciting than most Broadway-style shows, Schönberg's marvelous score is likely what's made this musical a must-see hit now for its contemporary fans. The tunes are great, and the French lyrics are rendered brilliantly in the stylized, period-mimicking English translation by Herbert Kretzmer. And all the songs wear their varied emotions on their metaphorical sleeves. Yes, this can get a little drippy. But so does Mimi's death scene in Puccini's La Bohème where we know what's coming but we still shed a tear anyway.
When Les Miz was still new, this reviewer couldn't afford a ticket, so we can't compare the current cast in any meaningful way. That said, the cast of the current 25th Anniversary production is almost uniformly good to great, inhabiting their characters with great zest, singing with great courage and compassion—often at an operatic level. Whether appealing or appalling, each character is carefully delineated, with almost all of them taking on, at times, an unimagined level of complexity. The whole production is professional in every sense of the word.
As Jean Valjean, Peter Lockyer is clearly the star of this show. It's a taxing role requiring a lot of stamina and a great deal of singing across every range of emotion. But Mr. Lockyer handles the part with surprising ease, creating great sympathy for his beleaguered character whose emotional and moral roller-coaster ride is the essence of the show.
Equally impressive is Andrew Varela's performance as Javert, Valjean's steely-eyed, implacable nemesis. With his deep, authoritative baritone, Mr. Varela executes perfectly that fine dramatic line that makes his character a surprisingly conflicted villain, avoiding the possibility of dropping over the edge into two-dimensional caricature.
While these two characters dominate the dramatic musical scenes, it's the female cast members who carry much of this show's emotional undercurrent. Genevieve Leclerc, Briana Carson-Goodman, and Lauren Wiley (Fantine, Éponine, and Cosette) are wonderfully intimate and articulate in their signature solo numbers and all mostly avoid the constant—and tedious—belting that has seemed to be the fashion in popular music styles for upwards of twenty years now. Variability is the key to projecting real emotion, and all three singers seem to have taken this to heart in their elegant, carefully nuanced vocal approaches, only turning on the afterburners when it's absolutely necessary. (We wish contestants on American Idol would take the hint.)
Devin Ilaw turns in a fine performance as an understated but increasingly bold Marius. And Timothy Gulan and Shawna M. Hamic seem to delight in their wickedly comic turn as the dastardly Thénardiers.
Both the chorus and the choreography in this production were close to flawless, and the small 14-piece ensemble performed effectively and well. However, on occasion—as is often true of the reduced instrumental ensembles that have become so popular during traveling productions—the lack of a fuller orchestra seems to encourage bouts of over-amplification. Most of the amplification sins in this production occurred during the earsplitting opening scene which, we suspect, sounded exactly like the American landing at Normandy Beach. We have no problem with realism in theater, but literal realism, not so much. The nuclear-powered percussion here made it impossible, at least for this reviewer, to hear much of the singing or the music.
The rest of the show, blessedly, was more carefully modulated, although the over-all amplification was perhaps a bit much more than it needed to be.
In the end, though, this new production of Les Miz will thrill and delight nearly everyone who will nightly pack the National during its too-short holiday run. If you're thinking of getting tickets, we suspect you'd better act quickly.
Rating: *** ½ (Three and one-half stars out of four.)
Running Time: About three hours and ten minutes including one intermission.
Les Miz is onstage now through December 30, 2012 at the National Theatre in downtown DC at 1321 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. Tickets are available online via Telecharge as well as through other ticket brokerage sites. Tickets also available via phone at 202-628-6161 or 800-447-7400.

Aston products are a method of growing crops with zero residues in a sustainable way, reducing or eliminating the need for chemical treatment.
There has already been great success recorded with Aston's garlic based natural products. However, further opportunities for Agriculture and Horticulture to improve its' green credentials lie ahead, especially in the production of edible crops, including soft fruit, top fruit, protected salads and field vegetables. At Aston Horticulture we offer a wide range of garlic based products for specific and general use for those involved in agriculture, commercial horticulture and amenity.
Growers must adhere to the protocols that have been developed for success with these products. Prevention of fungal diseases and insect attack is the key to maintaining productive plant growth and appearance, providing the consumer with healthy edible produce.
Use of garlic in conjunction with Crop Management Systems, leads to a much reduced reliance on conventional pesticides with benefits of reduction or elimination of pesticide residues in the resultant food.
Our range includes products for ornamentals, nursery stock, roses, amenity and turf management sectors, along with Garlic Wonder Home and Garden Products.
If growers are prepared to move forward, we can help them through the changes necessary to become successful in this commercial and public sector of horticulture.

First, the Pope stepping down in April— Now, at the end of 2012, the Archbishop of Canterbury, after a decade as a leader of Anglican Communion. Over 300 bankers world wide resigning too? What is going on? We are in for some unbelievable news coming?
There's been news floating through the airwaves that Timothy Geithner was arrested, questioned by authorities and let go not to long ago.
A prediction was made back in Nov by Cardinal Paolo Romero, that the Pope would die within one year's time. Cardinal Romero is the Archbishop in Palermo, Sicily. Could it be the reason the Pope is stepping down? Or, is it because of the extreme pressure due to the attacks and controversies related to the pedophile priests' scandal over the last few years?
Will we ever know? They say this is the year of disclosure and this doesn't only mean UFO, it's any thing and every thing coming to the surface and fast.
Stay tuned in!

#SNOWBRAWL2013 - What you missed
We did it! Do312, Chicagoist and RedEye banded together to finally co-host the second annual Snow Brawl, a big, ridiculous snowball fight in Wicker Park proper. Very unscientific estimates bring the headcount to 250-300 snowbrawlers, and a couple of news stations even showed up to document the madness.
Big thanks to everyone for showing face and kicking ass--and to our co-hosts Jeremy Scheuch at Do312 and Samantha Abernethy at Chicagoist for making this ridiculousness happen. Until next year...
Here's a recap of what you missed, courtesy our friends at Chicagoist.
Got more photos and videos to show us? Tweet them to @redeyechicago and @chicagoist with the #snowbrawl2013 hashtag.

Enabling Community coLAB was a 2 day social innovation hackathon organised by the Ministry of Social and Family Development(MSF) and SG Enable, with UP Singapore serving as the Social Innovation partner. More than 100 participants came together over the weekend of 5-6 April 2014 to create solutions to empower persons with disabilities as consumers, employees and entrepreneurs. The 10 finalists who were shortlisted on Sunday, 6 April went on to compete in the finals of the coLAB on 6 May, where 5 teams wom Jumpstart Grants of S$20,000 each from MSF.
Watch the highlights of the coLAB below!
Click here to see the winning ideas!
Yet, the world of disability is often invisible to most of us. Persons with disabilities are sometimes shielded, because of their impairment, but the lack of understanding and engagement from the wider community act as a barrier. Simply put, society cannot see past their impairments. Also, the needs for their families and carers are often not discussed.
Inspiringly, there are many persons with disabilities, who refuse to allow themselves to be defined by their impairment. They want to work, play, shop, and to be part of the community, making a contribution to their families and the society.
• Crowd-source social innovation that can empower persons with disabilities to fulfill aspirations in their roles as valued consumers, employees and entrepreneurs.
• Cultivate innovative ideas with good potential as business models to further develop as social enterprises for sustained impact.
• Empower the wider community to engage persons with disabilities as "person-first" and to see abilities rather than deficits or limitations.
• Create awareness and educate the wider community using a strengths-based approach for the inclusion of persons with disabilities.
* Notes: Estimated disability prevalence rate is according to Enabling Masterplan 2012-2016. For full report refer to: http://app.msf.gov.sg/Portals/0/Topic/Issues/EDGD/Enabling%20Masterplan%202012-2016%20Report%20(8%20Mar).pdf.

Every Good Deed Deserves Another
February 24th, 2012 - By Therese Madden
More than an axiom, this philosophy is the foundation of the SHARE Food Program of PA. Sure, doing good feels nice but it doesn't hurt to be rewarded as well! Find out how a few hours of community service can be cashed in for food.
People are always looking for ways to save money on groceries. There's cutting coupons, buying day-olds, shopping in the bulk section. One Philadelphia based program has a slightly different way to save, "do a good deed and get a great food package for about 40% less than they would at the local grocery store." Steveanna Wynn is the Executive Director of the SHARE Program. Here's what constitutes a good deed, "it's literally anything that you do that you are not paid to do that makes your community better. So, it can be anything as simple as cleaning your block. It can be as large as creating a summer camp. Whatever you do, that you are not paid to do. It can be volunteering here to pack the food."
There are plenty of people in this large frigid warehouse doing just that. Packing up boxes of food. Yolanda Martin is packing oranges, she lives in a North Philadelphia neighborhood not far from the warehouse. Martin is currently unemployed and found SHARE through a program of the Department of Public Welfare. She says the food she brings home makes a big difference. "My brother, he is a shut in and he's mentally ill. So, I usually get boxes for him and the boxes are at a good low cost and the food is nice and fresh. It's good and they give you fruits and vegetables in the boxes." Martin says her 13-year-old son is really into the fruit. "A lot of families can't afford fruit, cause I know when I take fruit to the house they tear up the oranges, it's gone just like that. The fresh fruit and vegetables a lot of families can't afford it and that's where SHARE comes in because of the low cost, it helps out a lot."
35%-45% of the people who buy food through SHARE receive SNAP benefits, the program formally known as food stamps. But customers with any level of income can and do order food through SHARE. After all the larger the order, the better deal they get from the vendors. Plus, as Wynne says, there's always room for more good deeds in the world. "So, it's really about saying that if as a community, if we all come together, and we all volunteer, and we all order food, we can all eat healthy and we can all eat affordably."
The SHARE warehouse sees about 2000 volunteers a month. Many donate their "good deed credit" back to others who need the discounted groceries more.

Comments about Body Power Body Rider Cardio Dual Trainer:
I wanted an inexpensive machine that would fit neatly in my living room. I was able to assemble it myself with ease. I was concerned that the machine wouldn't support my weight, which is more than 250lbs, but it does and the stride is smooth and quiet. The handle bars are a little out if my reach when I'm seated and I wish the seat had back support. I'm hoping this machine will last through my daily use.

British poultry is produced to some of the highest standards of flockmanship in the world.
British chicken is the safest chicken meat in Europe: 2% of British chickens have salmonella whereas 30% of European chickens have the disease.
All British hens are vaccinated against salmonella.
Any medication that is given is done so with full veterinary medication.
British poultry travels less far from farm to shop so regardless of how carbon footprints are calculated it self-evidently has a lower carbon footprint.
Choosing British means supporting British farmers whose work helps to keep the British countryside the way we want it to look.
Any medication that is given is done so with full veterinary medication.

Hand allegedly caught in Ferris' cookie jar; case due Grand Jury
By 08/31/2000 00:00:00
Ellis County Press
FERRIS - From all indications, Ferris Mayor Jimmie Birdwell said Gailen Hand, former municipal court clerk for the city, appeared to be on her way to being indicted for alleged embezzlement.
Birdwell said he received results and cost for an audit performed by Shaw Witherspoon Certified Public Accountants and Company PC of Ennis. He turned over the audit results and cost to a chief investigator, who picked up the paperwork for the office of Ellis County District Attorney Joe Grubbs.
Birdwell said he expected Hand to be arrested.
'I don't think it's gone before the grand jury yet,' Birdwell said. 'I saw her in town [Ferris] yesterday [Thursday, Aug. 24.]'
Grubbs said Hand already had an attorney representing her.
'It's currently, actively being processed,' the district attorney said. 'It's not fallen through anyone's cracks. It's right on target. It's to go to the Grand Jury. I'm sure it will be indicted. I feel it will be disposed of by the end of the year.'
When contacted by the Ellis County Press, Hand said she had no comment.
Grubbs said he was virtually sure Hand would be found guilty.
He said punishment for theft, a third-degree felony charge, was a minimum two years to a maximum 10 years in prison and possibly a fine up to $10,000.
Grubbs was asked what happened to the $41,455.62 allegedly embezzled by Hand from November 1998 to February 2000.
'I'm sure she'd like to know that,' he chuckled. 'The embezzler usually doesn't know what happened to the money. It's probably long gone.'
Grubbs said the state had the right and would seek restitution of the missing money.
The district attorney said in a case such as this there was the possibility of the charge being enhanced due to the crime allegedly being committed by a public servant.
Birdwell said while Hand was employed by the city she was bonded to $100,000 by the Texas Municipal League.
Should the charge be enhanced, Grubbs said it could escalate to second-degree felony. A guilty verdict would result in a two years minimum and 20 years maximum prison sentence and possibly a fine not to exceed $10,000.
Hand resigned Feb. 13 from her position as municipal court clerk for the City of Ferris after an investigation began concerning missing funds.

This is the first part of what turned out to be a two-parter; next week I'll post the part of our conversation that addressed more the intersection of education and comics. Here, we're talking about craft. He, coming from a comics/cartooning background, and I coming from a writing background, found a great deal of overlap in our artistic processes. Cool conversation. Cool guy. Check out his blog at inksnow.blogspot.com for some more of his thoughts and art, some of which is below, including the "Logan's Run" comic that we talk about in the podcast.

Accordingly, government's only proper role is to assist individuals when they need to defend themselves from anyone who would violate their rights. This party promotes the idea of substantially reducing the size and intrusiveness of government and cutting all taxes.

DUKE CENTER – Friday night's win wasn't quite as easy as the first two.

The judge set sentencing for Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the courthouse. Morgan said he as the "sentencing judge" is not bound by the proposed terms in the agreement, which sets the maximum sentence of 22 1/2 years.Â
KERSEY – A sizable crowd of inquiring residents gathered Thursday evening for a concealed carry permit seminar hosted by state Representative Matt Gabler (R-Elk/Clearfield) at the Red Fern Banquet Hall.
Facts about Pennsylvania's concealed carry laws, Castle Doctrine and right to bear arms were the focus of the seminar, although numerous other subjects were discussed as part of the question and answer event format such as reciprocity agreements with other states, keeping an updated firearm inventory, and transporting and transferring ownership of firearms.
Inferno Studios, a "new school" tattoo shop that is located along Main Street in Ridgway, is set to officially open its doors Saturday, Sept. 13.
