Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
The road to Hebron was nearly deserted as I drove to the town Monday night, August 6. The Avraham Avinu neighborhood, however, one of the Jewish enclaves inside the PA-controlled city, was alive with hundreds of young people when I arrived. They had come to protest the destruction of several Jewish homes by the Israeli government, slated for early the next morning. Several thousand police and anti-riot troops had been deployed in nearby army camps to carry out the action.
The Avraham Avinu compound, less than a half-acre square with about 40 families living in several buildings, is only a few minutes' walk away Machpelah, the two-thousand-year-old building built over the burial site of the biblical forefathers and foremothers.
Surrounded by Arabs, like the four other Jewish compounds in Hebron, its Jewish residents have been attacked by terrorists. A year-old child was murdered a few years back.
In August 1929, the Arabs of Hebron rioted, murdering 67 innocent Jews, mostly rabbis, women, children and yeshiva students; many more were maimed. The British then expelled the surviving Jews.
In the 1950's, under Jordanian occupation, Arabs turned the ruined compound into a vegetable market, its synagogue into a public toilet and animal pen, and a few buildings were used as stores. The market and these stores were vacated more than a decade ago for security reasons; several years later, nine Jewish families moved into these abandoned buildings.
According to Israeli courts, the buildings are the property of the state, and its Jewish residents were ordered to leave. Despite previous agreements with military and government authorities, the police were ordered to vacate the buildings.
At 3 a.m., loudspeakers alerted the residents that troops were on the way. I joined about 30 young men in one of the three tiny apartments marked for destruction. One of the other apartments was designated for the ladies.
Thirteen-year-old David, the youngest of the group, sat at the side of the room, hugging his knees. I asked him if he was afraid. He shook his head. "Been through this before?" I asked. He nodded. I admired his courage.
By 4 a.m., the metal door of the house was welded shut from the inside. The only way out was a tiny window in the back. The windows in front had been sealed with concrete blocks and metal sheets. A meter-and-a-half square concrete box had been constructed at one side of the room, into which several young men had enclosed themselves. A small hole provided air. I was afraid for them. What if they needed to get out? A sudden wave of panic hit me. What if I needed to get out? We were sealed in. Was I ready to die for this?
The boys were instructed not to engage in violence. Resistance would be stubborn but passive. "We are here to show the government that we won't be taken out as sheep," a reference to compliance in Gush Katif which made the evacuation easier.
Bottles of water were passed around. A large drum of cooking oil had been prepared to make the floor slippery. Many of the boys began to pray, wrapping themselves in tallit and tefillin as the first light of dawn slipped through the cracks. Shema Yisrael, they shouted in unison, as the police began to batter the door with sledgehammers.
The boys finished their prayers, placed their siddurim, tallitot and tefillin into a bag and passed it out through the opening in the back room. The pounding became louder and more intense. It was now only a matter of minutes before the police would break through. The boys prepared for confrontation, arranging themselves in small groups on the floor, linking arms and singing Psalms.
A steel saw cut through the door, showering sparks, as the metal was pried open, and then pulled apart. Heavily armed police in riot gear swarmed into the room and began to tear into the boys. Memories of Gush Katif: children singing against black-clad soldiers. And of Amona, where police violence was caught on film, and of hilltops in the Shomron, where demonstrators were beaten. Perhaps due to cameras, the police here were more careful. There was no clubbing. The boys were handled roughly, kicked and slapped, but it was bloodless.
One by one, the boys were thrown out and the three apartments emptied. It took another hour before the police were able to break open the reinforced concrete box. Exhausted, the boys inside staggered out.
Around the corner, inside the neighborhood, police and special-units personnel were confronted by girls and a few boys who threw paint, eggs and stones. The police seemed eager for a confrontation and charged; the kids scattered, though some, unable to escape, were knocked down and had to be evacuated on stretchers.
The police laughed and congratulated themselves; the kids were sullen. Many cried. They had lost another battle, as they knew they would, but their spirit was not broken; their wounds would heal and make them stronger.
A coming-of-age for these Israeli youth, such confrontations indicate the social and political turmoil in which Israel is mired, a reaction to an increasingly powerful post- (read: anti) Zionist, un-Jewish, unjust, superficial democracy. While the government calls for "law-and-order," this struggle exposes the primary, fundamental clash between Judaism and Israelism to define the national character.
Hebron is where the first brit – sign of the Covenant – took place. Resistance to the government is a new form of brit: a commitment to a Jewish Zionist ideology and, for many, a mark of alienation from their country.

The expulsion of 10,000 Jews from their homes five years ago was not a localized event in the Gaza Strip. It was a national implosion, a national disgrace. It caused enormous physical, psychological, social, cultural, military and strategic damage to the entire nation – and it still does.

The issue in the girl's school controversy in Emmanuel is not about ethnic discrimination but about differences between religious groups. The school's educational policies are based on the level of observance, not ethnic background.

Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, May 14, 2011, 14:55Master
Brake squeal (assuming the brake lining are sufficiently thick) could be caused by brake pad material, (cheaper pads often make noise!), brake rotor surface finish can also cause brake noise, brake caliper hardware, silencing shims can also be the cause. Brakes would have to examined to determine/fix the true cause of the noise.

GAO reviewed the Food Safety and Inspection Service's new rule on meat produced by advanced meat and bone separation machinery and meat recovery (AMR) systems. GAO found that (1) the rule covers meat produced by AMR systems, and the rule is designed, in part, to prevent human exposure to the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy agent by ensuring that AMR systems are not a means of introducing central nervous system tissue into products labeled as "meat;" and (2) the Food Safety and Inspection Service complied with applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

May Nothing You Dismay0 Comments by d.w. Dec 22, 2009 in download
There's an AC radio station here in Detroit that, sometime around Halloween it seems, switches over to an all-Christmas format. If you tune in to it even occasionally, you realized they pretty much just play a few songs over and over again. (and how is that unusual for commercial radio anywhere? but, I digress…) In […]

Monday Mashups – Farewell McSleazy0 Comments by Dan Sicko Jun 15, 2009 in DJ mix, download
I've been amazingly self-absorbed so far this year, so opening up my feed reader is always a bit of a shock. Other people have lives and things to say about them? Weird. Still, buried in a few hundred music posts, I somehow found McSleazy's "retirement" announcement. A mash-up pioneer, he very well could have crafted […]
Monday Mashups – I Never Eat a Pig0 Comments by Dan Sicko Jun 8, 2009 in download
Mashups keep coming back year after year, month after month. In fact, they're more pervasive than ever, creeping into stranger and stranger places. Don't believe me? What about that delicious trio of condiments up top? Government and big industry? Autotune and talent? Yes, I think it's high time we stopped ignoring them and brought this […]

There are conceptual mash-up albums, and then there are nerd-savants.

It's shocking something like this hasn't popped up before. Dert helps ease the harsh realities and temperatures of 2009 by evoking the spirit of everyone's favorite squeaky volcano-hugger.

5 weeks ago I brewed the witbier kit from northern brewer. 2 weeks later, when my gravity was a stable 1.010 I bottled. Today I cracked open my first bottle, and I was disappointed.
First, the carbonation didn't feel right. There was very little head retention and the bubbles were not quite right. The taste was also somewhat off. It tasted too bitter, and left a dry mouth feel.
The only problem I can think of was my fermentation temperatures. The warmest place in the house hovers between 66 and 62, which I this was less than ideas for my yeast.
I do plan to wait another week and crack open another bottle to see if the flavor improves. Is there anything else I can do at this point?
"I can't believe how many people think Air Lock is pronounced Hydrometer." -BigKahuna
"If you gave me a beer with placenta in it without telling me I would kick you in the nuts." -ODaniel
"We be in a big hurry for dope beer with much alcamahol and flavor, quality, balance, and aroma don't matter. We just wantz to be druck, u know?" -Yooper
At this point (already bottled) there isn't much you can do but wait. Give it more time in bottles to condition. It'll improve.
By all means, however, start another batch of the same recipe or something else. Just keep brewing!
You're going to have some batches that just dont taste right, arent carbed enoough, are too sweet, are to bitter etc etc. It's your first! My first was infected. Second I screwed up the hopping. Third wasnt great either. Took me around 5 or 6 batches to get a beer that I thought was pretty decent. Im on batch 26 and I still have a few here and there that suck. Its all beer, though and the good ones are really good ones!
I think those fermentation temps will be fine for ales. The actual temp of your wort will be warmer than the ambient air temp, so if you keep the bucket in a room with air temp of 66, your actual fermentation temp will likely be more like 68-70. Then, as it cools off from fermentation slowing, you want it colder anyway to allow/cause everything to settle out.
My fermentation room is a steady 67 and my wort shows 69-70 during active fermntation, and then it cools down once fermentation slows.
Beer Renaissance definition - transformation from a heavy beer drinker to drinking heavy beer
Keg - American Pale Ale
Primary - Chocolate Cascadian Dark Ale
Primary - ButterBeer
My brew closet appears to be around 64. And I guess my yeast is working. My gravity went from 1.050 to 1.011 in two weeks. If it was too cold, the yeast would just go dormant.
The problem is, I am not sure what I did wrong.
I looked over my notes, and I think I might have noticed two things:
First, i only steeped my specially grains in 1 gallon of water, because that's what the recipe called for. Since I had 2 pounds of grain, i couldn't submerge the whole bag, so I had to do all kinds of silly things. I don't think I extracted everything from the grain, which is why my beer is lacking in wheat flavor.
Second, my boil was kind of lazy. I am listening to a series of lectures about beer, and just today they guy was talking about needing a vigorous boil to achieve a proper hot break as well as isomerize (no idea what that means) hops. Maybe not enough gunk boiled out. I think I will focus on steeping my grains better and I will wrap my pot as suggested in the "Improved boiling on the stovetop!" post.
@Hockeyhunter99, at the moment I am really digging Belgians, so I am going to attempt a tripel.
What was the water you used? If you used tap water, is it kinda salty, or does it have a chlorine smell or flavor? R.E.M. sang "don't go back to Rockville" for a reason...but I don't know what that reason is
Anyway, it's possible that the water you used isn't really suited to the beer style and flavor you were shooting for. It would at least be worth your while to call your water treatment authority and request a water report (if you use tap water). They're typically free.

STAR TRACK Riya Sen says yoga makes her skin glow
Yoga seems to be the secret behind the glow of Bengali beauty Riya Sen .
Riya follows a range of fitness exercises to stay slim but feels, "Indian women appear their best when they are slightly curvaceous."
Riya calls herself a typical Bengali and adheres to its traditional diet. She says she is "addicted to rice and potatoes," and needs it twice a day. However she keeps a watch on the amount she consumes "to continue eating the food I love."
Yoga helps her stay fit, she states. Besides, "It aids me to think better and feel light, and makes my skin glow."
She swims and also goes for spinning classes which cuts 800 calories per session.
About her film career, Riya says she will be seen in the film Zindagi 50-50 opposite Aaryan Babbar releasing today.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
15 Aug 2014 03:39 GMT | Health, Africa, Ebola, World Health Organisation, Guinea
Staff with the World Health Organisation battling an Ebola outbreak in West Africa see evidence the numbers of reported cases and deaths vastly underestimates the scale of the outbreak, the UN agency has said on its website.
Staff at the outbreak sites see evidence that the numbers of reported cases and deaths vastly underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak.
The death toll from the world's worst outbreak of Ebola stood on Wednesday at 1,069 from 1,975 confirmed, probable and suspected cases, the agency said. The majority were in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, while four people have died in Nigeria.
The agency's apparent acknowledgement the situation is worse than previously thought could spur governments and aid organisations to take stronger measures against the virus.
"Staff at the outbreak sites see evidence that the numbers of reported cases and deaths vastly underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak," the organisation said.
"WHO is coordinating a massive scaling up of the international response, marshalling support from individual countries, disease control agencies, agencies within the United Nations system, and others."
International agencies are looking into emergency food drops and truck convoys to reach hungry people in Liberia and Sierra Leone cordoned off from the outside world to halt the spread of the virus, a top World Bank official said.
In the latest sign of action by West African governments, Guinea has declared a public health emergency and is sending health workers to all affected border points, an official said.
An estimated 377 people have died in Guinea since the outbreak began in March in remote parts of a border region near Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Guinea says its outbreak is under control with the numbers of new cases falling, but the measures are needed to prevent new infections from neighbouring countries.
"Trucks full of health materials and carrying health personnel are going to all the border points with Liberia and Sierra Leone," Aboubacar Sidiki Diakit president of Guinea's Ebola commission, said late on Wednesday.
As many as 3,000 people are waiting at 17 border points for a green light to enter the country, he said.
"Any people who are sick will be immediately isolated. People will be followed up on. We can't take the risk of letting everyone through without checks."
Experimental drugs
Sierra Leone has declared Ebola a national emergency as has Liberia, which is hoping that two of its doctors diagnosed with Ebola can start treatment with some of the limited supply of experimental drug ZMapp.
Canada's Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp is also exploring making more of its experimental Ebola treatment, Chief Executive Officer Mark Murray said.
Nigeria also has declared a national emergency, although it has so far escaped the levels of infection seen in the three other countries.

Which tools - Lowes Task force? other?
I'm a female mid-aged arthritic newb seeking buying advice re: tools for basic projects out of necessity, not hobby.
Right now, there appear to be very limited sales at Lowe's such as Task Force 38-piece ratcheting set for $5 (i never owned a ratcheting screwdriver - is it worth getting?
Also a Dewalt 75-pc drilling screwdriver set for $20.
It was given a bad review, so i'm vaccillating, since Dewalt is a good name.
Does the latter come with a reliably magnetized bit holder for use in drill chuck?
Is it worth getting?
btw, my bit holder is poorly magnetized junk from a cheap screwdriver set.
and of my drill bits, the 1st (skinniest) bit broke after drilling into a metal rod, as well as the 5th & 6th bits (out of a 13-bit set).
Is there any recommended titanium set to get as replacement, preferably including more of the skinnier bit sizes, since they seem more breakable?
Also at Lowe's are Kobalt Locking Pliers set & Groove joint pliers, $10 each set. Would those be considered necessary for basics?
Also can you recommend a good saw that's not so huge as my 28" long old-fashioned hand saw? A shrimp like myself can use a much smaller, sturdy saw.
Finally, is there any affordable, reliable wire cutters to cut wire hangers (without becoming dull quickly), and which also can cut fairly thick branches? That would be very handy for me. (I don't own a scissor sharpener)
Do not buy multiple sets of anything except drill bits. And, buying cheap tools just means you have to buy them more often. Buy good pliers and wire cutters
Buy a hand held screwdriver with 6 different bits---or six different screwdrivers. 3 Phillips and 3 flat tip sizes. If you get the smaller bits, you can replace them singly if necessary.
Ratcheting screwdrivers will not help much with the arthritis. You will be better off getting a large handled model screwdriver(easier to grip).
If you get a screwdriver with six 1" long bits, those will also fit in a holder that chucks in a drill---like one made by Bosch(ttp://www.lowes.com/SearchCatalogDisplay?Ntt=magnetic+bit+holdersholders&storeId=10151&N=0amp;langId=-1&catalogId=10051&rpp=48)
Channel Lock pliers/wire cutters are among the best. You should be able to find a set with pliers, and a cutter.
You do not want to cut branches with a metal cutter. Buy a set of pruning shears for that.
Stanley Sharp Tooth hand saws are my favorite for small saws.
And drill bits. Titanium bits will break as easily as regular ones. Just buy replacement bits as you break them. Small bits are very easily broken ---I usually buy a couple of each small size to keep on hand.
Jally, you might want to look at the Dremel tools. I have a standard Dremel tool that I use for all sorts of things, including cutting wire. And a Dremel Multi-Max that I use mostly for sanding. You might like the new tool they have out, the Saw-Max. The Dremel customer support people are very nice and very patient.
For cutting branches, get a bypass lopper
Fiskars Bypass Lopper
Of course, if you buy the Saw-Max and a long extension cord, you might be able to use that on the tree limbs. For a while I used an old jig saw on my tree limbs.
For hand tools for someone with difficulty gripping, hunt down a local SnapOn dealer. Yes, they are hard to find. Yes, they are expensive. But SnapOn's hand tools are the easiest to grip and stay in your hand of any of the gazillions of brands I've tried. My "go to" on screwdrivers is a 40 year old phillips head set that was handed down to me from my dad. I add in other hand tools as I can afford them.
What kind of saw will work best for you as a general purpose saw will depend on what you're trying to cut. Sheet goods and general lumber will need an electric hand saw. My Porter Cable has been in service for 25 years with no issues at all. A Milwaukee Sawzall reciprocating saw will actually cut small tree branches, or through a car body depending on which blade you have in it. My Bosch sliding compound miter saw can serve as a chop saw, or it can do the complex angles required for installing molding. If you are handling a lot of longer goods, you will need sawhorses and/or a work table to set up your good on to be cut.
For someone with arthritis issues, I hate to say it, but you need some family member or friend involved with your projects. You are probably as able as you are ever going to be right at this moment, and you need a backup plan for when a flareup comes, or just plain degeneration happens. Do you have neices or nephews or neighbor kids that you can pay a couple of bucks for them to help you with projects so they too can become familiar with tools and learn about them together? It always amazes me that no one thinks that kids need to learn about how to do anything with their hands anymore! Everyone needs to know a bit of something and to own a bit of tools. It bestows a type of independence that really mentally liberating when you don't have to always wait on a tradesman to do a job.
I consider Dewalt to be a middle of the road tool,(I have many Dewalts), down from the days when they were top o' the line especially their bullet proof radial arm cut off saws that many framer/carpenters/builders pulled behind their trucks to the site. No one uses those anymore!
"down from the days when they were top o' the line especially their bullet proof radial arm cut off saws "
That was their only real product, and B&D killed it off as son as they purchased Dewalt.
The development of the chop saw pretty much appears to have killed the radial arms off.
The ability to rip with a radial arm never worked well, so they do not have much over a chop saw.
Sears production of low quality radial arms saws probably helped drive more nails in the coffin.
I remember a buddy complaining about the cuts on hos brand new Craftsman radial arm saw with digital readouts.
He asked me to look it over and see if I could figure out the problem.
You could push the arm sideways with one finger enough to see movement while the display never changed (and was displaying tenths of a degree 'resolution').
The unit had no bearings on the saw carriage, just metal rubbing on metal.
Tighten it enough to eliminate the visible play and the carriage could not move easily enough to be useful.
But us was cheap.
My understanding is that B&D acquired the DeWalt name in the late 80's from a [nearly] defunct company that was best known for radial arm saws. Product quality quibbles aside, it was marketing genius for a company whose industrial line of tools was languishing on the shelves because their maker was best known for toaster ovens. B&D repackaged their "industrial" tools in spiffy black and yellow and sold them as DeWalt, being very careful to keep the DeWalt name well away from B&D. B&D also owned Elu, a tool brand best known in Europe. Early DeWalt tools were either repackaged B&D Industrial or Elu tools.
I had an great 12v DeWalt drill that was repackaged B&D and an B&D Industrial router that was identical, except in color, to the very well respected DeWalt 625. Frankly, it's the best router I've ever used.
The marketing folks at B&D hit a home run with DeWalt.
From the Wiki:
The original company was started in 1936 by Raymond E. DeWalt, the inventor of the radial arm saw. The company grew quickly and was reorganized in 1947, manufacturing radial arm saws and other stationary woodworking machines.
After buying the company in 1949, American Machine & Foundry Co., Inc. sold it to Black & Decker in 1960.
Black & Decker divested itself of the radial arm saw manufacturing branch in 1989, selling it to two executives. Radial arm saws that use the original DeWalt design can still be obtained from the Original Saw Co.
In 1992, Black & Decker started a major effort to rebrand its professional quality and high-end power tools to DeWalt. Currently, DeWalt manufactures and sells more than 200 different power hand-tools and 800 accessories.
In 1994, DeWalt took over the German wood working power tool producer ELU. DeWalt increased their line of tools using ELU's technology. DeWalt is now a popular brand of tools for commercial contractors.
In 2004, Black and Decker bought rival power tool manufacturer Porter-Cable and combined it with DeWalt in Jackson, Tennessee.[1]
DeWalt now produces a full line of compact, XRP, and lithium ion cordless drills. The same battery used for the drill can also run one of the 40 other tools DeWalt produces, such as impact wrenches and circular saws.
Seems B&D is somewhat of a tool monopoly?
Curious how everyone stores their stuff when they don't have all the latest cutting edge tool-storage setups.
Just today, I used one of my faithful Fixwell knives to carve out the below pictured saw-blade keeper from styrofoam. I also cut the foam so it fits snugly inside a plastic umbrella case.
I also use Fixwell knives as a primitive hand saw for wood & weak plastic too, that's until I get a conventional hand saw. What I can really use is a scissor sharpener which can also sharpen curvy blades (of loppers), but not sure which type is good quality, nor where to find same.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - If Syria goes ahead with an election that would likely secure a new term for President Bashar al-Assad, the opposition will probably not be interested in pursuing further peace talks with the government, peace mediator Lakhdar Brahimi said on Thursday.
Assad has not yet announced whether he will stand for a third term, in defiance of protesters, rebel fighters and Western foes who have demanded he go. But in state-controlled parts of Damascus, preparations for his candidacy are unmistakable.
"There is to my knowledge no official declaration yet in Damascus that this election is going to take place, but there are a lot of activities that seem to indicate that there is an election," Brahimi told reporters after briefing the U.N. Security Council.
"If there is an election, then my suspicion is that the opposition, all the oppositions, will probably not be interested in talking to the government," he said.
A Western diplomat inside Brahimi's closed-door briefing for the Security Council said Brahimi told its 15 member nations that he doubted another 7-year term for Assad would put an end to the suffering of the Syrian people.
Two rounds of peace talks mediated by U.N.-Arab League peace mediator Brahimi in Geneva failed to bring the government and opposition any closer to agreement on a transitional government as called for in a declaration adopted at an international conference in the Swiss city in June 2012.
The Security Council president this month, Luxembourg's U.N. Ambassador Sylvie Lucas, told reporters after the meeting that Brahimi's position was that holding an election at the present time would be "incompatible with the Geneva process."
Several senior Western diplomats told reporters that Brahimi said in private meetings this week that a re-election of Assad would signal a lack of seriousness on the government's part.
Syrian Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari did not confirm there would be a presidential vote soon, but said holding elections was a "sovereign domestic matter."
Another senior Western diplomat said on condition of anonymity that Syria's ally Russia was encouraging Assad to postpone the election until after a third round of negotiations in Geneva.
The Western diplomat inside the council meeting said Brahimi said "the country continues to be systematically destroyed."
Brahimi also told council members that the government and opposition delegations need to be better motivated for a new round of talks, if one takes place, the diplomat said.
The veteran Algerian diplomat has repeatedly threatened to quit, like his predecessor, former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, did in 2012. Annan left out of frustration that Russia, the United States, Iran and others did not do enough to stop the civil war.
But council diplomats said he will be staying at the post for the time being. Council members voiced their support for Brahimi.
Ja'afari reiterated to reporters his government's position that the focus of the Geneva peace process should be on "combating terrorism." Assad's government generally refers as "terrorists" to all rebels, not just Islamist fighters who are among the most formidable forces it faces.
U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon appealed to Russia and the United States on Wednesday to help revive the Geneva peace talks and help end Syria's three-year-old civil war. He said it was time to put an end to the bloodshed that has torn Syria apart.
With the Syrian conflict entering a fourth year this week and more people fleeing the war, the United Nations has warned that Syrians are about to replace Afghans as the world's largest refugee population.
The opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said more than 136,000 have been killed since a revolt against Assad began in March 2011.

Gifts boxed up for deprived children
Published at 16:31, Thursday, 15 November 2012
By Jonathan HumphriesDEDICATED volunteers are preparing a mountain of gift-filled shoeboxes for their journey to Romania.
The Christmas shoebox appeal, run by charity Teams4U, will benefit children living in extreme poverty – many who may never have received a Christmas present before.
This week stacks of donated shoeboxes have been arriving at a warehouse in James Freel Court, Barrow.
Rosemary Webster, Teams4U area co-ordinator for Cumbria, has been involved in the shoebox appeal for around 14 years.
She said: "As usual the Barrow public have been really generous, especially some of the children at the schools, and everyone at the churches.
"Some people have been knitting for us, and have donated hats, gloves and hand puppets. It may seem strange but for a child who has nothing, something as simple as a hand puppet becomes a little friend."
Volunteer Monica Pugh, from Walney, said: "In another life it might have been my own child. The thought of the children's faces when they open the gifts is a big motivation.
Mrs Webster, from Crosthwaite, said: "We can never lift the children out of poverty, but what we can do is bring a smile to their faces. The gifts bring joy to their lives."
Mrs Webster's husband Keith said: "It's a really simple idea, and I think the chance to fill a finite space with exciting gifts really motivates people."
Jim Rhodes, from Friars Lane, Barrow, has been involved in the appeal for five years.
He said: "It's enjoyable work and it's good for the children. I can't believe how generous people have been. The variety of stuff that has been going in the shoeboxes is amazing."
A team from south Cumbria is also planning to head to Romania in January, the time when orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas in the country, to help with the distribution of the shoeboxes.
Mr Webster said: "We know it's going to be an emotional trip."
The shoeboxes will be leaving Barrow from November 23.
Mrs Webster added: "We want to say a big thank you to all the volunteers who have helped with the appeal, and the members of the public who have donated. We couldn't help the children without them."

Tennessee's Jones: Incoming class 'speaks volumes'
FEB 06, 2014 6:28p ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It didn't take long for Tennessee football coach Butch Jones and staff to set up shop in the Music City and surrounding environs.
For the second straight year on the day after National Signing Day, Jones and his Volunteers entourage greeted an overflow crowd of supporters for a "recruiting celebration" luncheon at a downtown Nashville hotel ballroom. Barely two months on the job, he came calling last year to talk of saving his first Tennessee recruiting class that had been ranked 33rd nationally by Scout.com. This time around, Jones brought the news of a recruiting class of 32 signees that was ranked fourth-best in the country.
"They had multiple opportunities all over the country, and they stayed loyal," Jones said of the group of commitments that had collectively been ranked among the top-five recruiting classes, including as high as No. 2, for several months. "The great thing about signing day (Wednesday), there was no drama."
Included in that recruiting haul are 10 signees from Tennessee, featuring eight from Nashville or the middle Tennessee area. That is the most recruits from that region of the state for one Tennessee recruiting class in nearly five decades.
"We talked about actions speaking louder than words," Jones said. "We're the state institution of Tennessee, and we are going to win with Tennessee players."
Of the incoming class, Scout.com ranked 17 Tennessee signees with four stars, most of any program in the country. That included two Nashville-area products -- Station Camp wide receiver Josh Malone (No. 66 overall) and Beech running back Jalen Hurd (No. 75) -- being ranked among the top 100 prospects in the country. Other Volunteers signees from middle Tennessee included Independence athlete Vic Wharton and defensive back Rashaan Gaulden, Brentwood Academy defensive end Derek Barnett, Marshall County kicker Aaron Medley, Ensworth offensive tackle Michael Sawyers and Montgomery Bell Academy defensive tackle Jashon Robertson.
"These are individuals that could have went anywhere in the country," Jones said. "Any school would have taken them with much of our signing class. And they chose to stay at home. I think that speaks volumes for what is going on."
The last commitment of the class came late Tuesday night when Sawyers called Jones to confirm he would sign with the Volunteers. He had originally committed to Vanderbilt, but re-opened his recruiting when former Commodores coach James Franklin was hired at Penn State.
"That was a great way of really putting a final stamp on this recruiting class," Jones said of Sawyers, who chose Tennessee over Notre Dame, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt.
Jones credited Wharton, the first commit of the class, along with Knoxville Webb defensive back Todd Kelly, in keeping the incoming class of commitments intact.
"When we offered (Wharton), we also challenged him to commit in championing the class," Jones said. "And that's exactly what he did. (Wharton and Kelly) really held the class together. ... This is the closest-knit group of individuals in terms of a signing class I have ever been a part of."
In as much, Jones said that more than 90 percent of the signees did not take an official visit to a school other than Tennessee.
NCAA rules allow a school to count only 25 players to a particular recruiting class. Six Volunteers signees can be counted to the 2013 recruiting class, while Jones has also intimated that a recruit or two might be considered a "grayshirt" and delay their enrollment for a semester.
Of the 32 signees, 14 are mid-term enrollees and already attending classes at Tennessee. They will be eligible to participate in spring practice.
"Getting a jumpstart with this signing class and having 14 of these individuals already enrolled in school, that has done so much to our football program," Jones said. "It has brought a sense of energy, a sense of competition, and our older players have really embraced the newcomers. ... When they completed with the 14th player introducing himself (at a team meeting), our current team gave them a standing ovation. That's the things we are building at Tennessee. It is going to be special. It is going to be different.
Coming off a 5-7 record in his debut season that gave the Volunteers an unprecedented fourth-consecutive losing season, Jones warned to not put too much too soon on an incoming class that will be counted upon heavily to fill a variety of needs as starters or key reserves.
"They are still 17- and 18-year-old young adults working to be adults. We're going to develop them," he said. "But I am excited, because they bring a ton of talent to our football team."
While the incoming Tennessee recruiting class was ranked fourth in the nation by Scout.com, it was still one of six Southeastern Conference programs claiming one of the top-10 classes nationally. Tennessee trailed No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 LSU, while leading No. 7 Texas A&M, No. 8 Auburn and No. 9 Tennessee.
Four other SEC schools -- No. 12 Georgia, No. 18 Ole Miss, No. 21 Kentucky and No. 24 Kentucky -- were ranked in the national top 25. Rounding out the ranking of SEC schools included No. 32 Missouri, No. 33 Arkansas, No. 39 Mississippi State and No. 50 Vanderbilt.
"We want individuals to understand what they are representing every time they run on the field at Neyland Stadium," Jones said. "We want individuals to understand the great tradition, all of our great former players, the standard and the expectation that embodies Tennessee football.
