Shelter Plus Solutions!
Friends of the Homeless, Inc. began sheltering people more than 25 years ago because the community saw a need. We have by necessity grown into the largest emergency shelter for men and women outside of Boston and that's only the beginning of our story. In addition to providing 24 hour emergency shelter to almost 1200 individuals each year, we serve more than 155,000 meals, provide showers and laundry facilities and operate a Resource Center to help wrap people in services that help them get back on their feet. The most humane thing we do is help people find permanent housing. To that end, in addition to community outreach, FOH is landlord to 110 formerly homeless individuals who live in our single rooms and efficiency apartments.
We work hard every day to build partnerships and find resources so that we can offer real help to people in need. We have a medical and dental clinic on site, as well as a computer lab. We partner with Bay Path University to manage and operate Essential Thrift a donation collection and distribution site, providing "essentials" like toothpaste and dry socks free of charge. Other area institutions allow us to offer programs, classes and interns that make empty hours meaningful on the FOH campus.
A cavalry of volunteers supplement our small staff but the need is great. We wonder some days if it exceeds the resources of this generous but poor community. What started as a solution for Springfield has become the only place in Western Massachusetts that tries to help whoever comes through our doors. So we're counting on Valley Gives, on 12/10/14 to help spread the word to a wider audience, make new friends and engage you in giving. Your donations really matter.
Without you, our donors, FOH cannot do the important work of treating our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and adult children with the dignity that every human being deserves. It starts with a bed for the night and with a lot of work in between, ends with a permanent home. You can be a part of making that happen. Please join us and be a friend of the homeless today. Every day after will be a better one.
In addition to our shelters, Friends of the Homeless manages 110 single rooms or efficiency apartments. That can be a first step for the people we see. These are located on our "campus" that also has a full service kitchen serving meals to homeless and non-homeless alike, a medical and dental clinic and supportive service counselors who match people with what they need.
Every day miracles happen on the FOH campus. For some, getting out of bed to face another difficult day is an accomplishment. Then there are those moments when we all celebrate the key to an apartment, or a job opportunity that we know will have a profound impact on the quality of someone's life. The men and women we serve are as diverse and complicated as your family. But on the FOH campus these individuals find the help and hope they need to try again and rebuild their lives.
Friends of the Homeless could not do all this without your financial support. Your donations really matter at this small non-profit agency with a very big job to do. Thank you for your support! Thank you for being a friend of the homeless!

I was wondering if you guys could help me determine the value of this bike. I'm a college kid on a tight budget. I came across this bike on ebay, it's a local pick-up only listing so the price seems pretty good compared to other completed listings, but I was wondering if anyone could comment on the condition of the bike by looking at the pictures. I honestly don't know much about bikes so your help would be greatly appreciated.

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
'99.99% of antiques in the market are fake'
20 Feb 2014 06:22 GMT
US authorities have issued a warning to airlines flying to the United States to watch out for individuals who may have hidden bombs in their shoes.
The warning came from the Department of Homeland Security, government sources told the Reuters news agency late on Wednesday.
The sources, Reuters reported, said the warning principally applied to flights originating overseas and heading for the US, rather than domestic flights or planes headed overseas from the US.
However, the sources suggested the warnings did not mean that the US had specific intelligence indicating a plot to use a shoe bomb overseas was in progress.
One source said the alert was being issued "out of an abundance of caution", while a second said the alert was "not a big deal."
Wednesday's warning follows one earlier this month in which US authorities warned airlines flying to Russia for the Sochi Winter Olympics to watch out for toothpaste tubes that could hold bomb-making ingredients and could be smuggled through airport security.
Previous attempts
Since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US, there have been two known attempts to blow up US-bound airliners using bombs hidden in their clothes or footwear.
In December 2001, Richard Reid of Britain tried to set off explosives concealed in his shoe on a Paris-to-Miami American Airlines flight. Passengers subdued him before he could light the fuse.
And on Christmas Day 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab of Nigeria tried to detonate an explosive hidden in his underwear as his Delta Air Lines flight descended into Detroit after taking off from Amsterdam. Abdulmutallab's device malfunctioned, burning him, and he was subdued by passengers.
Both Reid and Abdulmutallab are serving long sentences in US prisons.

text: Ditto what everyone else has been saying about Ziatypes. They're easy-peasy. And I'll put in yet another vote for the Richeson 9010 "magic brush". Just soak it in distilled water between coatings, and squeeze off excess water just prior to coating. Minimal difference in coating volume required vs. rod coating, and you have far more control over emulsion distribution. Especially if your coating surface is not dead flat and level (but you should coat on top of a sheet of glass or plexi anyway, to smooth things out). Another thing to think about is - QUIT WORRYING ABOUT WASTE. Until your coating technique is flawless, you'll want to have enough excess coating to gauge the exposure by examining your borders. If you pour so little emulsion that you only have enough to cover the negative's surface area, you'll not have enough to judge exposure by, and run the risk of not having enough to actually evenly coat the entire image area. A little waste at the edges is far cheaper than throwing out a print because the exposure was uneven due to thin coating.

My firm has three main focuses, the first being consumer and debtor assistance including bankruptcy assistance to consumers under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. The other topics I focus on are employment law (employee side) and corporate compliance.
The firm was established in 2004. I decided to open my own firm when I found that the people of Philadelphia weren't fully served by consumer-oriented practices. I chose my areas of practice based on the ability to be of the greatest help to the people of Philadelphia.
For purposes of client confidentiality, I won't discuss cases in public forums.
Two Bala Plaza
Suite 300
Bala Cynwyd PA 19004
Yes, typically a free initial consultation for half an hour. We also offer home visits and virtual practice for clients that can't make it to the office. Virtual practice is where we do our meetings over the phone and Internet.
Fixed fees are available depending on the case. Most consumer Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings are done on a fixed fee basis.
When outside of fixed fee cases, my rate is $295 per hour.
Monday through Friday
10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Saturdays are hit or miss. It is always necessary to have an appointment to meet with me. But I answer the phone, and if I don't answer then I try to return calls with two hours.
I employ virtual assistants as needed.
I have three primary areas of practice. I chose them for business reasons as well as for the fact that they provide the opportunity to help the residents of Philadelphia and the five counties. My consumer and bankruptcy law practice allows me to work on matters that help people in immediate serious need. My employment law practice allows me to work on cutting edge issues with people who have been wronged by the system. And my corporate compliance practice allows me to help businesses become better employers and more efficient enterprises.
An educated consumer is the best partner in a case. Particularly in bankruptcy matters it is important for the consumer to be an active participant. The results of the case strongly depend on the consumer working with their attorney to achieve the best possible outcome.
I will review documents prepared by consumers. But expect my comments to be as strong as if I were responding to a document drafted by another attorney. The courts grant little leeway to parties to submit deficient documents and it would be a disservice for me not to look at documents critically.
I am not willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves. My malpractice insurance prohibits this.
Prior to becoming a lawyer, I spent seven year as a paralegal in various capacities. I've worked with a major law firm and with several in-house law departments.
My background as a paralegal makes me a better bankruptcy lawyer. I am very adept at understanding and applying the nuances of the law to the situation.
I personally see all new clients on their first visit. I am direct and upfront and don't sugarcoat my comments. Clients may not hear what they want to hear but I help them to understand their situation and give them the alternatives. I maintain strong compassion while helping my clients through what is an emotional time in their lives.Personal interests:
I enjoy motorcycling touring and travel both in the U.S. and internationally. I enjoy exercising: racquetball, lifting weights, doing cardio, and swimming as often as I can.

K-Pop Hot 100: Lee Seung Gi Makes Chart History
Billboard -- Lee Seung Gi makes K-Pop Hot 100 history this week as he becomes the first artist to earn six weeks at No. 1, a first for the chart since its creation 17 months ago. The likeable singer's "Return" ballad surpasses efforts from super-popular acts like PSY and IU who both held the record with five weeks at the top spot with their monster singles. How was Lee able to make chart history? We take a deeper look.
Like IU's single, "Return" was released during the holiday season where, as in the U.S., there are few new releases. In South Korea, there are many year-end events that see the year's active artists coming together to perform. The ultra-popular Girls' Generation waited until after this time period to release their comeback single and instead opted for a pre-release track, "Dancing Queen" (still, No. 2 this week). Simply put, the lack of competition allowed for the already popular "Return" to stay at the top.
Additionally, Lee is a very popular artist to use in commercials and is a presence in the Korean media. A recent poll by the Korea Advertisers Association ranked Lee as the No. 1 "most likeable" star for a commercial. He is currently promoting a huge array of brands ranging from Pizza Hut to Activia to even a commercial for Samsung co-starring PSY (who was ranked No. 2 on the list). While PSY is an equally popular commercial star, "Gangnam Style" was released during a competitive summer when many top names were competing for No. 1 giving indication why the monster hit couldn't earn more than five weeks. Get a sense of their likeability in their Samsung refrigerator promo below:
With stars like K. Will and Naul earning No. 1 singles, it feels like the flavor of the moment is male ballad singers. Lee had already nabbed a chart topper with the No. 1 "Era Of Love" so he was undoubtedly a favorite in K-pop.
Last week, Billboard.com asked readers which single from "The Color Of K-Pop" year-end SBS Gayo Dajeun special would chart highest on the K-Pop Hot 100. The answer ws revealed to be the tantalizing ladies of Dazzling Red landed the highest-charting single with "This Person" at No. 7.
The sensual track was brought to life with the popular singers likened to be as beautiful as paintings in a pre-performance video to coincide with the performance. Each girl wore a sexy red dress with a revealing slit in the middle where they teased what was underneath. Dazzling Red is made up of members from popular K-pop girl groups: 4minute's HyunA (PSY's "Gangnam Style" co-star), After School's Nana, KARA's Nicole, SISTAR's Hyorin, and Secret's Hyosung. With a Brave Brothers production and the girls' seductive charm, it becomes clear the girls worked hard to make sure their single was successful - with the best part being all the proceeds going to charity! Watch their performance below:
The other female group, Mystic White, was the second most-successful "Red" production with their "Mermaid Princess" track at No. 12. The male groups trailed close behind as Dramatic Blue's "Tearfully Beautiful" and Dynamic Black's "Yesterday" placed at Nos. 14 and 17 respectfully.
Will Lee Seung Gi continue his reign or will Girls' Generation's comeback track "I Got A Boy" earn them their second K-Pop Hot 100 No. 1? Check back on Thursday when all of the charts are refreshed on Billboard.com.

Aside from TWOK, I recall reading that the rest of the films were just being upressed for the Blu-Rays (from the Special Edition DVD's), so it's no wonder the Blu-Rays don't have the same level of detail as TWOK or the 2009 movie. I wouldn't be surprised if, when Paramount transferred the films back in the early-2000's for the Special Edition DVD's, they were only transferring them so that they looked good in Broadcast 720 HD, or on the home video front, 480p.
Well, Paramount didn't have to upres the HD masters they used for those Blu-rays (they already had 1080 horizontal lines of vertical resolution even though they were from older telecines)... as I said, you can see clips of them untouched by DNR on the various new HD special features on each movie's disc.

Health and Taxes
The Bush plan is good medicine.
Feb 5, 2007, Vol. 12, No. 20 • By DAVID GRATZER
When asked by a reporter why he robbed banks, Willie Sutton famously replied: "Because that's where the money is." In the State of the Union address, President George W. Bush focused on domestic policy and, in particular, health care by talking about, not Medicare or Medicaid or health savings accounts, but taxes. How to understand the connection? Health care reform must involve tax reform because that's where the money is.
The president proposed ending 60 years of arbitrary tax policy that--by making employer-provided health benefits tax free--punishes the self-employed, rewards society's most affluent, and distorts the entire health care system at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars to the Treasury. Should Bush's proposal to cap this tax exemption win approval, millions more will have better access to health insurance and 80 percent of workers will get a tax cut. It's the right prescription.
Not everyone sees the tax-health care connection. In the week before the president's speech, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California busily touted his proposal for universal health coverage while his counterpart in Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell, unveiled his own plan. Two separate coalitions of business and union interests held press conferences, announcing proposals to insure the uninsured. On the Hill, congressmen lined up behind two bills with similar aims. And no one mentioned anything about tax policy.
But the tax discussion can't be avoided now that health care is again a big issue. Health insurance premiums have roughly doubled in the past five years and there's no slowdown in sight--which is why the AARP and the Business Roundtable are suddenly holding press conferences together. But only the Bush proposal actually tackles the huge subsidy in the tax code that drives this inflation. For the most part, the other plans offer more subsidies and regulations to save an American health care system drowning in subsidies and regulations.
The president's plan would make health insurance premiums fully tax deductible for individuals, finally putting the self-employed on an even footing with all other Americans. How to pay for this? By capping the tax exemption. Above, say, $15,000 for a taxpayer filing jointly, further employer-provided health benefits would be treated as taxable income, subject to income and payroll taxes. This means that people who now receive gold-plated health plans from their employers would see their taxes go up.
What makes these ideas so sweeping? Consider why most Americans get their health insurance from their place of work. Employer-sponsored health insurance is a quirk of history--companies, of course, don't ordinarily help people with other basic needs, like food, shelter, or clothing. But as an indirect way around wage controls during the Second World War, employers--unable to offer raises--began offering health benefits to attract and retain employees. On October 26, 1943, the IRS ruled that employers could continue to pay health insurance premiums in pre-tax dollars. That ruling legitimized and encouraged the practice Americans now take for granted. After all, if a manager is given a raise of $1,000, he may well take home only $600 (depending on the marginal tax rate); but offer him $1,000 worth of health benefits, and he isn't taxed on them. Not surprisingly, health benefits have evolved to cover massage therapy, marital counseling, sunglasses, and a host of other things that have little to do with health care, strictly defined. The 1943 IRS ruling helped make health benefits a disguised form of income.
Fast forward sixty years, and the result of that ruling is that Americans tend to be insured through their workplace--and overinsured at that. Americans pay just 14 cents out of pocket for every dollar of health care. Carrying so much insurance means that, among other problems, there has been little incentive for people to economize on their health spending.
The tax incentives arbitrarily reward some and punish others. Consider: If a person works for a company that offers health insurance, the premium is paid in pre-tax dollars; if, however, he's a consultant for that company, he must pay significantly more for the identical insurance, because the premium is paid in after-tax dollars. In other words, the 17 million self-employed Americans are penalized under the existing system.
Moreover, for those with employer-sponsored health insurance, the deduction is unlimited, meaning that the more lavish the health plan and the higher the employee's income, the bigger the tax saving. If health benefits were taxed as regular income, the Treasury would take in another $200 billion annually. A quarter of that total goes to people with incomes over $150,000 a year.

- Clara Hughes and millions of Canadians talked about mental health to help break the stigma around mental illness - now let's keep the conversation going!
MONTREAL, Jan. 29, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - A record number of people across the country, indeed across North America, joined Canadian Olympian and Bell Let's Talk national spokesperson Clara Hughes and friends in the conversation to break the stigma and move Canadian mental health forward. Thanks to your outstanding response - a total of 109,451,718tweets, texts, calls and shares on Bell Let's Talk Day 2014 - Bell will donate a further $5,472,585.90 to Canadian mental health programs.
"Thank you everyone! I am just blown away by your incredible support for those struggling not only with mental illness but also with the stigma that still surrounds the disease. Talking openly and positively is the first and most important step we can take in promoting Canada's mental health," said Clara. "And wow did you talk, beating our target of 100 million messages and driving unprecedented donations to mental health by Bell. To think how far we've come in 4 years - from minimal attention to and even fear of discussing mental health to domination of the conversation. We talked all day, in every way, and we're going to keep on talking to improve Canada's mental health. I'm looking forward to the Big Ride!"
"When we embarked on the Bell Let's Talk journey 4 years ago, making mental health the focus of Bell's investment in the community, the cause was largely in the shadows. Mental illness just wasn't an issue corporate Canada talked much about despite the incredible impact of the disease on individuals, families, workplaces and our national economy," said George Cope, President and CEO of Bell Canada and BCE. "Now, everyone is overwhelmed by how deeply Canadians have embraced the cause, fighting the stigma by talking openly and positively and driving new funding for mental health care and research. Thank you Canada - your participation in Bell Let's Talk Day 2014 brings our total current Bell Let's Talk commitment to $67,515,875.20."

1. As this book was being written, the SBA was upwardly revising the size standards applicable to many NAICS codes. As you read this book, keep in mind that the size standards referenced in the examples may have increased. Up-to-date size standard information is available on the SBA's website, http://www.sba.gov/category/navigation-structure/ contracting/contracting-officials/eligibility-size-standards.
2. Size Appeal of J.M. Waller Assocs., Inc., SBA No. SIZ-5108 (2010).
3. 13 C.F.R. § 121.106(a).
1. In October 2010, the SBA suspended GTSI Corporation, a top100 federal contractor in terms of revenues, from all government contracting. The suspension notice alleged that GTSI, as a subcontractor, had, in essence, violated the ostensible subcontractor rule in various ways. The SBA eventually allowed GTSI to resume contracting with the government, but only after GTSI agreed to tough settlement terms, including the resignations of several top employees, a ban on participation in small business set-aside contracts, and paying for an on-site SBA compliance monitor.
2. For ease of reference, this chapter uses the term share to refer both to shares in a corporation and similar forms of ownership interests in other organizations (such as membership interests in a limited liability company).

Luna Beads: progressive vaginal balls
Please note that weight and ball exercisers may not suitable for use with a genital prolapse, since the prolapsed organs may preclude the correct positioning of the weights. Luna Beads with a single ball in place may suit some women with a prolapse. Read more about prolapse and pelvic floor exercises.
Luna Beads are a revolutionary product, combining the benefits of vaginal balls, with the progressive adjustable weights formerly offered only by vaginal cones, and combining these features in gift-quality packaging and presentation. Luna Beads are now one of the most popular products in our range and it's easy to see why.
Luna Beads consist of:
- a white silicone "girdle"
- two petal pink "beads", each weighing 28g
- two powder blue "beads", each weighing 37g
Beads can be positioned in the girdle, and used within the vagina in any combination. Thus it is possible to create progressive vaginal weights. See Specifications for combinations
Progressive vaginal weights help to build pelvic floor strength by providing an increasing challenge to the pelvic floor muscles.
In addition to the benefits of progressive weights, Luna Beads offer all the benefits of standard vaginal balls including
- Luna Beads can be worn discreetly whilst doing everyday chores, with the weight providing a muscle challenge as well as feedback as to how to engage your pelvic floor muscles whilst doing activities.
- Research has shown that pelvic floor contractions with vaginal duo balls in place are more effective than contractions on an empty vagina (Glavind, Arvonen).
- The 33mm diameter of the Luna Beads means that they can also offer an option for women with a weakened pelvic floor who are unable to hold a much narrower cone, or those with a larger vaginal hiatus.
- Luna Beads can also both be combined with an external weights set for active pelvic floor weights exercising. Progress through the weight combination offered by Luna Beads, then if you require further progression,add PelviWeights for active pelvic floor weight training, offering a unique challenge to women at every level of pelvic floor strength. Specifically, it allows women to greatly increase pelvic floor muscle strength, using the same approach used by the holder of the Guinness Book of World Records "world's strongest vagina" award!
Luna Beads are supplied beautifully presented in quality packaging, making them an excellent "couple's gift", as well as a luxury indulgence that any woman would feel pleased to buy as a gift for herself.
Luna Beads were designed and developed by Lelo of Sweden, manufacturer and distributor of luxury sex toys. They are CE certified, manufactured from body safe ABS and silicone, and carry a one year manufacturer's warranty. They are a modern version of an ancient women's pleasure device, known by various names in different places and times, including vaginal balls, orgasm balls, ben-wa balls or geisha balls.
Only water-based lubricant such as Sylk Natural Personal Lubricant should be used with Luna Beads, and even then, should be washed off immediately after use.

Manufacturer's recommendations for use:
30 mins per day for up to 12 weeks for passive exercising (ie only via presence of Luna Beads in vagina) but we recommend that you practise your squeeze and lift pelvic exercises with the balls in the vagina. An instruction sheet is included for this purpose.
Luna Beads are not manufactured under sterile conditions and we therefore recommend cleaning before initial use.
Wash with sopa and water before first use and between uses. Allow to dry before storing.

How healthy is your digestive system?
Please answer the following questions and you will obtain a brief evaluation of your digestive system based on your answers in addition to some information and advice.
Please note information given is not intended to diagnose, prescribe or replace the advice of a doctor or other healthcare professional.
Our advice
Your digestive function appears to be quite challenged:
It will help if you are careful to sit down to meals and chew your food thoroughly, rather than eating on the run. Include plenty of vegetables in your diet and avoid highly processed foods, white bread, pasta and caffeinated drinks. Ensure an adequate intake of still, plain water daily and try a course of Molkosan Vitality.
You should keep an eye on your digestive system to avoid digestive problems developing:
- Take time to rest and relax and don't eat on the run.
- If you're a coffee addict gradually replace it with a coffee substitute such as Bambu.
- Focus on wholefoods, fresh fruit and vegetables.
- Keep highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates to a minimum.
Your digestive system seems to be working well!
Maintain a diet rich in vitamins, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly and consider Molkosan Vitality if you ever feel off - colour.
