Saudi Arabia Contribution Saves Lives, Allows WFP To Rapidly Respond To Food Crisis In Iraq
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Published on 19 August 2014
Copyright: WFP/Abeer Etefa
BAGHDAD – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has been able to scale up food assistance to hundreds of thousands of Iraqis displaced from their homes in recent weeks thanks to a generous contribution of US$148.9 million from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The contribution has helped WFP provide desperately needed food to people who fled the conflict that began in Mosul in mid-June, including Christian and Muslim families and most recently Yazidis who escaped violence in Sinjar and sought refuge in Dahuk and other governorates in the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) area.
The contribution to WFP is part of a US$500 million donation from Saudi Arabia to UN agencies in July to provide urgently needed humanitarian assistance in Iraq.
"The food security situation in Iraq is alarming -- the worst that the country has witnessed since the sanctions in the early 1990s. The breakdown of the Public Distribution System for food in many parts of Iraq, the destruction and confiscation of agricultural produce, widespread insecurity and massive displacement of civilians have resulted in immense hardship and untold human suffering. The majority of Iraqis are either trapped at home or have become displaced in precarious conditions," said Mohamed Diab, Director of WFP's Regional Bureau for the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
Despite a challenging security situation and displaced people on the move since mid-June, WFP has distributed food to more than 524,000 people in 10 governorates across the country and has plans to scale up its operation to reach 1.2 million people by early 2015.
Saudi Arabia's contribution has most recently assisted Yazidi families who fled violence and persecution in the Sinjar area. Since 4 August, WFP has set up eight emergency kitchens, mostly in Dahuk, and provided hot meals to more than 173,000 people who fled Sinjar.
"We are working to avert a humanitarian tragedy, thanks to the timely contribution of much needed financial support from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which came with flexible terms. Without this donation, WFP would not have been able to respond so quickly to Iraq's evolving humanitarian crisis. The Kingdom of Humanity's extreme generosity has allowed WFP to save lives by rapidly scaling up its food assistance to Iraqis struggling to meet their basic needs in the face of a truly devastating humanitarian crisis," Diab said.
Of the 524,000 people assisted by WFP since mid-June, more than 268,000 have received food parcels containing essential items such as rice and cooking oil. Each parcel feeds a family of five for one month. More than 83,000 people have received emergency ready-to-eat rations that include canned food. This is in addition to the more than 173,000 people who received hot meals from emergency kitchens in recent weeks.
"WFP is humbled by the goodwill of Saudi Arabia, the main donor for food given to displaced groups in Dahuk. The Kingdom's contribution is making a significant difference in the lives of thousands of Iraqis of all faiths, both adults and children," said Jane Pearce, Country Director for the WFP Office in Iraq.
Before the latest wave of displacement, WFP was already assisting about 240,00 people displaced by conflict in Iraq's al-Anbar governorate, as well as more than 180,000 refugees from the conflict in Syria who are sheltering in Iraq.

John Farrell on Jarrod Saltalamacchia: 'Absolutely he has a future here'
|11.06.13 at 3:15 pm ET
Red Sox manager John Farrell, during an in-studio interview on WEEI's Salk & Holley show, suggested that even though free agent catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia did not receive a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer, the Red Sox remain very interested in bringing the 28-year-old back.
"Absolutely he has a future here. We're engaging with him and I know [Red Sox GM Ben Cherington] has talked to his agent frequently here, not just as free agent season has opened up but throughout the course of the remainder of the year and through the postseason," said Farrell. "In this case, if people are understanding of the qualifying offer, it doesn't put a drag on his market. In some ways, it may benefit Salty a little bit more than the other three guys where you've got to give up a first-round draft choice.
"Salty had a great year when you consider how he turned around to, I think, become a more complete player," he continued. "A guy that went from 24 home runs and high-teens doubles to 41 doubles and 13, 14 home runs, he raised his average about 40 points. He used the whole field a whole lot more consistently. He did a great job incorporating the game plan that [pitching coach] Juan Nieves and [bullpen coach] Dana Levangie put out and constructed for him. He had a very good year, and his best year as a player is also timely as he enters free agency."

Reviews of lighting websites
I am interested in purchasing this sconce:
I googled to get reviews of this website, 1STOPLIGHTING.com and also CSNLIGHTING.com that both have this sconce and there were alot of bad reviews for both sites. I can't seem to find another website that has this.
Anyone have any ideas where else I can search?
Ok........I guess I didn't post the link correctly. Let's try it again:
Here is a link that might be useful: Robert Abbey
Just google robert abbey Chase sconce and you will get lots of sources many of which appear to be quite reliable.
There are some great links on this site.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lighting So Exciting/Modern Lighting
Thank you all for your help. I decided against the Robert Abbey Chase Sconce because it is a polished nickel and my other fixtures in the bath are going to be chrome. I didn't realize the tone was so different.
I ordered the Candice Olson "Cluny" sconces in chrome on September 28th from Lamps Plus after checking out reputable companies. I already got the sconces 4 days later. Thanks for your input.
I forgot to add that I actually couldn't find the sconces on Lamps Plus' website, but they had other Candice Olson fixtures. They were able to get them for me and they also matched another websites price which was $32 less per sconce.
you post a very good post about Lumens Coupon Codes .
I am also providing Coupons.nice post.

Star Panzer Proposed by: Eric Nelson Story Introduction The year is 2492. The peoples of earth have taken to the stars and explored the near reaches of the galaxy. With its strength united, the earth has established many colonies. Two days ago, unknown ships were sighted near the newly formed colony of New Brazil, on Oberion II. Story Introduction The United Earth Space Navy has an orbital base at Persius, the third moon of Oberion IV. You are an Admiral stationed here. Command has selected you to investigate the occurrence. You are to select your force and make best speed to the planet within the hour. Mission 1 • The player shows up at the colony with their fleet. A small enemy force is bombarding the planet. They immediately break off and attack the player. When the battle is concluded, the survivors abandon the colony and return with the player to the Persius orbital base. Mission 2 • The player is briefed that they will be scouting some of the nearby systems in force. As their squadron is launching, a medium sized enemy heavy strike force jumps in. The player engages the enemy, only controlling their fleet. A friendly force that just left on a mission returns a few minutes into the fight to aid the Earth forces. The player must defend the base while it launches the warships that are still docked. Mission 3 • Reinforcements from Earth arrive. The player gets orders to go with them to attack an enemy installation. The combined fleet gets pulled out of hyperspace en route to the target and is ambushed. After this battle, the player's force continues to the supply depot. After a small skirmish with enemy defenders, the player strips and destroys the supply depot. Resolution ( The End ) • With this task completed, the sector is secure from further attacks. The player is recalled to Central Command on the Lunar Base to give a briefing on the enemy. Appearance A • The ship graphics will be sleek and streamlined, as opposed to the clunky view of spaceship design with function taking priority over looks. • Ships will have full freedom to move in any direction on the x, y, z axes. Appearance B • A heads up display will show the hull damage for each compartment of the player's ship. This display will also show the status of each weapon on the ship. • Another display will show which attack method is set for orders given to the other ships. Appearance C • In between missions, the player can navigate displays to upgrade their ship and add additional ships to their fleet. The quality and amount of these will increase with the completion of each mission. Player Roles • The primary roll of the player is to exert total command over their ship, and give orders to the rest of the ships in their fleet. • A ship given orders will carry them out based on AI coding. Orders • The player may order one or more ships to attack, defend, move to, or form up on another ship. • Ships told to attack will do so in one of three methods, based on the option selected in the Attack Method Display. • The options are standoff, charge, or flank the enemy. Flagship Destruction • Should the player's personal flagship be destroyed, a command class escape pod will be launched. • The player may then select to dock with the nearest ship, or the strongest ship left in the fleet. • Traveling will take a small amount of time, but going a shorter distance will be significantly quicker. Influence Points • The player may spend influence points earned during each mission on personal ship upgrades and on adding additional ships to their fleet. • Possible ship upgrades will include thicker armor plating, engine upgrades, and adding a selection of additional weapons. Strategy • A series of levels with increasing difficulty will take the player through the storyline. The story will be linear, but the player can choose which ships are added to their fleet at the start of each level. Ship Selection • Ship selection is the primary strategy component, as the player may choose to deploy a weak but agile fleet, or a smaller fleet of juggernauts that will have to cope with being outmaneuvered. Specifications • Hardware: Standard Computer Workstations • Software: C++ compiler, graphics program, writing application • Algorithms: Focused on implementing artificial intelligence aspects.

Kindly identify this brom, thanks!
* It's a huge plant.
Hi Lyndi - Ooops! sorry lyndi, wrong info given.
Thanks avane for pointing out the colour of the flowers on my plant. I guess in my excitement to become involved in the discussion I didn't digest the start of Lyndi's request which was addressed to "experts".
Yes avane you were right about the flowers.
All I could see were some similarities to my plant regarding the leaf colours and the size.
Looks like it's back to the drawing board and learn to look at the "whole picture" first and then "put brain into gear before engaging mouth"
Sorry lyndi, all the best, Nev.

Well, the story is cute and fluffy, as advertised. The ending was terribly sweet.
I am hugely impressed that you write this well in a non-native language. I did catch some misspellings, if you want them: defiantly for definitely, union for unison, and blonde for blond (the silent e form is feminine, and Glorfindel *fanning herself* is hot -- I mean, not.)
Author's Response: Haha, yes it cute and fluffy as promised. I have now corrected all the spelling mistakes, thank you for pointing them out for me! Its hard to find them in your own text, youre get blind when rereading it so many times.

Harrisburg Is Sinking
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania demonstrates the future we have to look forward to if we allow the looting spree by our bureaucratic liberal overlords to continue.
Harrisburg's water and sewer system is falling apart. Consequently,
A second sinkhole on Fourth Street near Maclay Street in Harrisburg collapsed at around 11 [New Year's] night, hours after a morning sinkhole trapped a garbage truck and led to a boil-water advisory, spokesman Robert Philbin said in a press release.
The newer sinkhole resulted in the loss of water, gas and sewer services…
Although bureaucrats admit that there are "sinkholes all over the city," they haven't determined how many. They are probably too busy counting their money to find out.
Where does this money come from in a town that has been spent to the brink of financial collapse? Simple — the bureaucrats plan to loot the water and sewer fund for their own payroll:
City Council voted Tuesday night to offset a "temporary cash flow issue" with as much as $4 million from the city's water and sewer fund.
The very fund that pays for maintaining the sewer and water lines.
The very deteriorating pipes that are contributing to more than 40 sinkholes in Harrisburg — and the two recent large sinkholes on North Fourth Street.
Venezuela, which under socialist tyrant Hugo Chavez has leadership very similar to what we have chosen in the USA, suffers similar problems for similar reasons.
Mayor Linda Thompson says Harrisburg will be out of debt by 2014. Similarly, Comrade Obama followed a massive "stimulus" porkfest by promising to cut the deficit in half by 2013. Since then the federal deficit has topped a staggering and obviously unsustainable $1 trillion every year.
By taking upon themselves duties far beyond their purview, authorities from the local to the nation level have become incapable of meeting their basic responsibilities. Government can either be about defending borders from incursion and maintaining sewer lines, or it can be about redistributing wealth and making paper-pushing regulators rich and powerful — not both.
It is no metaphor to say that allowing statist bureaucrats to run wild is causing America to collapse.

Possible ACC Network would face many hurdles
Aug 3, 2013, 4:00 PM EDT
The Big Ten Network has been immensely profitable to league member schools. According to a recent article by Andy Bitter of the Virginian-Pilot, the network passes along somewhere around $7 million to league schools every year as part of the TV rights deal. It's important to remember, however, that the BTN is currently the exception rather than the rule.
The Pioneering Mountain West Sports Network shut down in 2012 in part because the league itself was so volatile. The network's footprint was a constantly moving target, as member schools leaped from stepping stone to stepping stone on the way up the realignment ladder. The Pac-12 Network is doing battle with DirecTV and having trouble turning a profit. The SEC Network debuts in 2014, and any notion of a Big 12 Network seems to be completely subservient to the already extant Longhorn Network.
So would the expanded ACC be willing to jump into such uncertain waters? Certainly. But Bitter's article does an excellent job pointing out the potential obstacles any such venture would face:
- Deals in place: The ACC is already partnered with ESPN, and the cable network is entitled to show the premiere matchups, including the immense Duke/UNC hoops matchups. Regional TV deals with Fox (which ties into YES Network) and Raycom also would reduce the number of games available to be shown on any theoretical ACC Network.
- Cable companies: Not only does a league-only network have to get cable companies to assign a channel to carry their programming, but they have to negotiate how much money they get out of the deal. Media consultant Neal Pilson told Bitter "If you get 100 percent distribution and 5 cents per channel, it's not going to work." The Pac-12's battle with DirecTV is evidence of just how combative such negotiations can become.
- Questionable market saturation: The ACC covers some large media markets already (though Maryland's defection hurt), and the addition of Syracuse is supposedly going to give the league an entree into the massive NYC market. Just because New Yorkers happily tuned in to watch the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden in years past doesn't mean that love will transfer to regular-season matchups.
The positives are numerous as well. The ACC gained a significant edge by securing a grant of media rights from the league's current and future members. That's a sign of stability that can't be ignored. The league's YouTube channel has been more successful than any other league's as well, which could be a good indicator of future interest.
The SEC Network's upcoming debut will probably give us some indication of where the ACC might turn. If the SEC can make it work with ESPN's help, it can at least provide some hint of whether the ACC can do the same. Obviously, however, the SEC's football brand is far more valuable than the ACC's, and that's the real driver of payouts in this business model.
Will an ACC Network happen? Maybe. But not soon, it seems.

The narration was great.
It is a classic story, many know the plot even before they listen, but still, the way the character development unfolds is masterful. Dostoevsky is genius as most of us recognize it.
Throughly loved it.
"Great Listen"
Love the Bollitar character. Funny, witty, and entertaining.
The twist and turns and the funny bits.
Excellent performance
"Another Classic"
I will absolutely recommend it to my friends.
Funny, memorable, and aspects of the book continue to resonate in my mind.
"Great Book"
Allowed me to immerse myself in the book - because it was long, it was meditative. Loved it and enjoyed it throughly.
The unexpected ending, the development of the characters, and the language.
Fantastic voice
It made me laugh and cry at different parts. Covered the full spectrum.

Robert ''Bob'' Wert graduated from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, N.J. Bob heard there was an opening in Lubbock and got out the maps to see where it was. He was at First United Methodist Church in Clarksburg, W.Va., in 1961, when he decided to go west. He had grown up in Lynchburg, Va., Washington, D.C., and Tennessee.
Bob Wert has been director of the choir program at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Lubbock since 1978.
Former Texas Governor Rick Perry served 5,144 days in office, adding up to a 14-year-and-one-month tenure, and resulting in the number 10 spot on the list of longest-serving American governors by the time he exited office and passed the torch to newly inaugurated Governor Greg Abbott.
When he was sworn in on Dec. 21, 2000, Perry embarked on a political career that included as much criticism as it did praise in a red state led by a Democrat-turned-Republican assuming leadership from former governor and president George W. Bush.
A New Mexico man convicted for a drug-fueled triple murder in San Antonio in 1993 is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday. He would be the first Texas inmate to be put to death under Gov. Greg Abbott, who was sworn into office on Tuesday.

More Retirees Discover Small-Town South
By KEVIN SACK
Published: May 24, 1997
HATTIESBURG, Miss.— There are no beaches here. No mountains. The public parks are equipped for softball, not shuffleboard. If there is a regular mah-jongg game anywhere in town, it is well hidden.
Yet retirees are migrating here in a steady stream, leaving the bustle and culture (and snow and congestion and crime) of the North to spend their leisure days in the piney woods of southern Mississippi. In the last four years, 267 retired couples have settled here in Hattiesburg, not an invasion of Floridian proportions perhaps, but enough to attract attention in a metropolitan area of only 100,000 people.
They are not alone. All across the rural South, retirees are moving to improbable places, lured by temperate weather, inexpensive living and savvy marketing by community leaders who have learned to court senior citizens as aggressively as they recruit automobile manufacturers.
Retirees who once would have flocked to the condominium canyons of South Florida, the golf resorts of coastal South Carolina or the mountains of North Carolina are today discovering small towns and country crossroads like Guntersville, Ala.; Mena, Ark., and Bainbridge, Ga., places that have never made anyone's list of retirement hot spots.
In other cases, huge retirement villages are springing up quite literally in the middle of nowhere, often far from airports and even midsize cities. In western South Carolina, for example, Cooper Communities of Bella Vista, Ark., has sold 3,600 home sites in its Savannah Lakes Village development near McCormick, a city that was described 15 years ago as a ghost town by U.S. News & World Report.
With the aging of the baby boomers making retirement a growth industry, several states are beginning to compete tenaciously for retirees. Some have established state agencies dedicated to the task.
And local governments and business groups around the South are developing tools for working the retirement market -- Web-site testimonials about the pleasures of small-town retirement, for example, and hospitality seminars that remind waitresses to show particular courtesy to elderly diners.
Mark Fagan, a professor at Jacksonville State University in Alabama, said his studies of retiree migration had demonstrated that senior citizens could help revive a slumbering economy.
''These counties in eastern Alabama didn't really have what it takes to compete in the smokestack chase, didn't have the infrastructure,'' Professor Fagan said. ''But there are other ways to increase spending in an area.''
Retirees have come to places like Hattiesburg, which is home to several hospitals and the University of Southern Mississippi, because of a growing sense that traditional retirement destinations like South Florida, Arizona and California are not as inviting as they once were. And many have come, demographers and sociologists say, because of a yearning for a sense of community that has vanished from many cities.
''We've lived in Los Angeles and Washington and New York and London, and when you live in the city, you don't become a part of the community,'' said Jean W. Carbonar, who moved here with her husband, Anthony, from the Upper East Side of Manhattan two years ago. ''In New York, you don't meet your neighbors unless there's a real bad fire.''
On paper, the Carbonars would seem unlikely prospects to spend the rest of their days in Hattiesburg. Before retiring, Mr. Carbonar was a partner with Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon, the Wall Street law firm where Richard M. Nixon hung his hat. In Manhattan, the Carbonars rented a $4,000-a-month apartment overlooking the Queensboro Bridge, and Mr. Carbonar collected boxes of exotic cigars. For a while, they considered retiring to New Zealand.
But after looking at Hattiesburg on the recommendation of their son-in-law, the Carbonars decided they liked the climate, the cost of living, the undulating fairways at the Hattiesburg Country Club and, perhaps above all, the hospitality extended by the community.
''We just felt we could look a long time and not find a place that duplicated it,'' said Mr. Carbonar, 63. ''My friends in New York say, 'Isn't there a big culture shock down there?' And I say, 'Yeah, people here are polite, and for no good reason.' ''
In couples like the Carbonars, business and political leaders in Mississippi and other Southern states see vast potential for economic development. When retirees relocate, they bring bank deposits and buy houses. They buy food, clothing, insurance and toys for visiting grandchildren. A 1990 study by William H. Haas, a sociologist at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, concluded that the average retiree household in western North Carolina injected about $36,000 a year into the local economy.
In addition, retirees pay taxes, usually on time, and place little strain on most municipal services. They do not pollute. They rarely commit crimes. They volunteer in schools and hospitals.
''Retirees have got more money than most folks,'' said Gov. Kirk Fordice of Mississippi, who created his state's Hometown Mississippi Retirement program in 1994. ''They also are less of a strain on the infrastructure system. They don't use schools. They are what you might call ideal citizens.''

Paula Abdul gives her shiny layers a sultry feel with super volumized roots.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Combine a dime-size amount of styling lotion with a few drops of shine serum and apply onto damp hair.
Step 2: Add a dollop of mousse at the root and then blow dry two-inch sections with a large round brush. Apply upward tension at the root for lift and then turn the brush several times to roll all sections under and toward your face.
Step 3: Create a side-part. Rub pomade on your fingers and run them through your hair to create soft definition. Mist with hairspray for all-day hold.

We visited a couple of alternative hotels first and their luke warm and surly greeting was what inspired us to move onto La Terrazza. There could not have been a greater contrast with the welcome we received from Roberto, the owner of La Terrazza. He is a force to be reckoned with - incredibly warm and charming - what a character! His 'Albergo' is almost as colourful as he is. From where he is located it is very easy to walk up the central square of Montepulciano or down to the lower restaurant-filled street. The breakfast was generous, as was to be expected from such warm hosts; and the room we stayed in was more like a small apartment, decorated in a traditional manner. Highly recommended if you want to stay some place where you feel truly welcome.
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Travelocity, Priceline, Venere and Odigeo so you can book your La Terrazza di Montepulciano reservations with confidence.

'Oz the Great and Powerful': Zach Braff on Bluescreen Onesies and Becoming a Monkey (Q&A)
Zach Braff has done a lot in his career, from starring on the comedy TV series Scrubs to acting in films and writing and directing a hit movie, 2004's Garden State.
But being in Oz the Great and Powerful was a very new experience for him -- because he had to play a magical monkey.
PHOTOS: Oz the Great and Powerful': How Sam Raimi Brought the Legend Back to Life
Braff, 37, who had done voice work before with Chicken Little, did much more than just lend his voice to Finley, a winged monkey who helps Oscar Diggs (James Franco).
"Sam really wanted me there. He didn't just want to capture the voice," Braff, 37, tells The Hollywood Reporter. "He wanted me to fully act this 36-inch tall monkey out."
Not only did Braff act out his character on set, but he also plays a live-action character in the black-and-white opening of the film, which follows Diggs as he's whisked away from Kansas to the magical land of Oz and tasked with saving the kingdom from an internal dispute involving three witch sisters (Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz).
THR spoke to Braff about becoming a tiny flying monkey, what's so magical about Raimi and when he plans to make another film of his own.
The Hollywood Reporter: How did you become a part of this project?
Zach Braff: When someone says, 'Sam Raimi wants to meet you in his office,' it's a pretty good phone call to get. We had a great meeting, and he showed me a really early animatic of the movie. I just started making up jokes and what I thought the voice of Finley would be and he started laughing. I looked over and he was cracking up, and I thought that was a good sign.
THR: So you'd never met Raimi before? What made you want to work with him?
Braff: I just heard that he was infamously so nice, and that he wore a suit no matter what time of day it was, like old school directors. And obviously that he knew how to make these epic movies but still give them heart. Some giant effects movies, they don't feel grounded with emotion and heart, and Sam was known -- especially with the Spidey movies -- for grounding them in a way that was unique.
FILM REVIEW: 'Oz the Great and Powerful'
THR: So tell me about the work as Finley. Since you were on set rather than in a studio recording his voice, how did the process work?
Braff: There's lots of different ways we did it. In its most basic form, we figured out that if I was on my butt, hunched over, I was 36 inches tall. And I'd be wearing a bluescreen onesie. And then other times there was an actual life-size puppet of him that I would operate around and act out. And then the third way was a thing called "puppet cam." When he'd fly and do stuff I couldn't possibly do, they would put this monitor on the end of a stick, and I'd be in the video booth and James had a tiny earpiece in his ear and we could kind of do it via the monitor.
THR: I heard that while a lot of CG and greenscreen was used, some of the bigger set pieces were actually built. What was it like working on this set?
Braff: It was really cool, very real. Basically, the big set pieces, there'd be about a football-field-sized set and then where the set ended, the greenscreen would take over. So, for example, the circus was huge. It was the whole stage. And that first shot of the movie, that was all real. I mean, hundreds of extras and choreography. It was awesome, because I've never been involved in anything that big.
THR: As a director yourself, what did you think of Sam Raimi's process on set?
Braff: I think of the SAT word aplomb. He's just so calm. There's so much on his shoulders, and 100 people an hour asking him a question, and he's just sweet and kind. I just did a press conference with him and someone asked him, "There's no magic in the world, so what's it like creating a magical world?" And Sam was aghast, he said, "There's no magic in the world?! I was in my backyard and the apricots were blooming!" He really is that guy. He's the sweetest person you'll ever meet.
THR: Have you figured out what you'll be doing next as a director?
Braff: There's something in the works. I'm finally ready to get in the director's chair, but it's a little too early to tell The Hollywood Reporter. But soon enough.

RE: Geraldine B.
My goodness, a small world. My brother is married to Guyneth. Matter a fact my husband and I also were CB'ers. We went to a lot of breaks with Bernard & Jerry. I loved that woman very much. To your question about the pictures. I would love to have copies of them...it might be that Guyneth would like to have them also. Were you at Jerry's memorial?

RE: Gilmour
Many thanks for your message. I sent you an email.
If I get back that way I'd love to see the grave sites. Too bad I didn't know the information about the family many many years ago when I was a young boy and living in Columbia, MO.

RE: Alexander Gilmour
Many thanks for your reply Mary Beth,
My email address is: email@example.com. If you send me your email address I will send you the links to my sites where there is lots of proved documentation and in the My Heritage site photographs of many of the Gilmours.
Alexander's father was JAMES GILMOUR [born 17 January 1745 in Lancaster County, PA; died 18 Nov 1834 in Christian County, KY. He had married an ELEANOR [whose family last name we do not know, but we know it was Eleanor from land deeds etc. They were the parents of 5 children including my ggg grandfather George Gilmour who was born on 10 March 1788 in Lincoln County, KY; married Polly Terrell Hickman on 27 Aug 1809 in Clark County, KY; died in 1835 in Christian County, KY.
We believe that JAMES GILMOUR's first wife, ELANOR died in late 1788 since he became married a second time to a Losey Lodden on 20 Feb 1789. They became the parents of your ALEXANDER GILMOUR in Lincoln County. I'm not sure when Losey died. My GENCIRCLES website has JAMES GILMOUR's Pension application which contains a lot of info about him and there is a lot of other informative documentation about him there too.
I have posted info on my site about some of Alexander and Elizabeth [Campbell] Gilmour's children, but you are the first descendant from this line that I have met on line.
I lived in Columbia, MO for three years in the late 1940's, as a young boy, but didn't know much about the family then. I've traveled through much of the state and have spent time in Kirksville, where some Gilmours are buried and in Audrain County and in Hannibal to see Mark Twain's home, but haven't been in Monroe County as far as I can remember. Didn't know about the snakes there. Are they copperheads or cotton mouths?
Hope to hear from you.

RE: Alexander Gilmour
Thanks you for your note. Alexander Gilmour was the brother of my ggg grandfather George Gilmour. I have been doing research on the Gilmour family since about 1968 following the death of my grandmother and great aunts [all Gilmour's] who had saved photos, news clippings, family charts and letters of correspondence etc about the Gilmour family. I inherited them and began some additional research and then visited Lincoln County, KY and places in Augusta and Rockbridge Counties in Virginia and in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania where the family had lived. When the Internet kicked in I found additional info and have compiled family trees in both Gencircles and My Heritage.Alexander Gilmour was married twice: first to Elizabeth D. Campbell [born in about 1794 in Virginia and she died before 1850 in Monroe County, MO] and secondly to Ann Callison [born in 1807 in Augusta County, VA; died in Jan 1882 in Jefferson, Monroe County, MO].

5 Simple Mind Hacks That Changed My Life
My latest PJM column is called, 5 Simple Mind Hacks That Changed My Life. Here's an excerpt from the column.
Ever had a single moment that changed your entire life? One event, one mental tweak, one epiphany that made everything better?
I have.
Granted, we're not talking about something as huge as turning into a masked crimefighter because my parents were murdered in front of me – but that's a good thing. Only so many people have experiences like that. I'm talking about relatively small modifications that have had an outsized positive impact on my life. Not only can these mind hacks do the same thing for you, you can adopt every one of them by the end of this article if you choose to do so.
1) Making yourself impervious to criticism.
When you write about politics for a living, you get called every nasty thing in the book. There's not a single feature on my body that hasn't been thoroughly critiqued. I've been called ugly, fat, stupid, inbred, retarded, a fascist, a Nazi, a racist, and dozens of other terms that I'm not allowed to write on PJM. I get smeared, lied about, and receive death threats. There's not a day that goes by in my life where I don't either get hate mail or get attacked in the comments of articles that I write. After reading that, ponder the fact that when I started writing for a living, not only was I sensitive to criticism, but conflict with other people made me uncomfortable. So, how did I go from that to retweeting hate aimed at me on Twitter, laughing off death threats, and taking on four liberals at a time on HuffPostLive?
It started with adopting a quote from Frederick Douglas as a motto.
A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me.
As a practical matter, what does that mean? That anyone who insults is – by virtue of the fact that he is insulting – unworthy of my time, attention, or serious consideration. Some people might argue that someone who's deliberately insulting you might also have a legitimate point too. Setting aside the fact that happens about as often as Lady Gaga turns down a chance to wear a weird dress, if the point is worth making, someone else will surely come along and make it as well and then I can respond to it. Once you internalize this sort of thinking, insults no longer have any impact because the very fact that someone is treating you in a deliberately insulting manner makes his opinion irrelevant.

No one likes to be laughed at, but people do love to laugh. An inventor has created a toy that plays a variety of laughs, in hopes of bringing a smile to the face of sick children reports Daily Pilot. With every purchase, his business even gives $3 to The National Children's Cancer Society.
Riding in an elevator with firefighter and Newport Beach inventor Steve Islava can be a load of laughs.
He doesn't have to say a word. He just pushes a button on his latest creation, Laffy Laffalot, and the children's toy plays one of 20 pre-recorded laughs that can make an elevator full of people smile and even chuckle. The device allows you to record your own message or laugh into the recorder and play it back later.
Like Santa Claus with a cart full of toys instead of a bag, Islava and his fellow firefighters from the Orange County Fire Authority stopped by the Children's Hospital of Orange County on Tuesday and gave out about 300 Laffy Laffalots to kids.
"I've been a medic and firefighter over 20 years, and in our job, we've seen a lot of trauma and illness," Islava said. "Bringing laughter is so important. It reduces stress for the whole family … laughter is the best medicine."
In a situation where parents and hospital workers do what they can to keep spirits high, Islava's invention was a simple, yet effective method. Just ask Angelica Sano.
Recovering from an operation last month where surgeons removed her right foot, it looked like Angelica was going to spend a good part of Tuesday recording things for her brother and listening to laughter. Her favorite was a baby's laugh, she said.
