The Jewish state faces the same problems as North America and Europe, stagnant or low wages, homelessness, increasing poverty. Furthermore, Israel does not have a food stamp program the way the US does, even though poverty levels are similar at over 20%.
The consequences of poor nutrition were highlighted by a Ben-Gurion University study that showed 34% of elderly Israelis who were hospitalized suffered from malnutrition resulting from a diet based on cheap foods such as bread and margarine.
Founded in 2003, Leket Israel, the "National Food Bank," seeks to liberate excess nutritious food that for a variety of reasons would have been thrown out. It delivers this food to non-profit organizations who serve Israel's poor.
"Along the whole food chain, waste does occur," said Paul Leiba, Leket director of development. "We work to address the waste at every level."
Leiba told Shalom Life that a lot of crops are not harvested for economic reasons; There is a point of equilibrium where after a while, harvesting more of a crop is not worthwhile. Leket is able to pick B grade crops that might not fetch enough at the market to be economically viable for the farmer but are perfectly suitable for eating. There is also a lot of waste along the food supply chain. They use 20 full-time pickers who travel to 250 farms across Israel, harvesting 60 different fruits and vegetables.
Their team covers over 300 kilometers, from the Golan to the desert, keeping in mind that that Israel yields four crops in a year. "That's the beauty of being able to work in agriculture in Israel."
After only seven years in existence, the agency has become the de facto umbrella for Israel's food banks, shelters and other non-profits who work with the poor, acting as the middleman for the delivery of produce to 14,000 Israelis every day.
Collecting over 110 tons of food per week (Photo: Neta Meir)
With a dedicated staff and a large pool of 4,500 volunteers, the organization collects over 110 tons of food per week for over 230 soup kitchens, homeless shelters, senior citizen centers and other Israeli social organizations.
They also have night-time food rescuers, including 600 volunteers who drive around in trucks collecting 12,000 surplus meals every week from bar mitzvahs, weddings, restaurants, bakeries and catered venues. Corporate partners also donate thousands of perishable foods that are close to expiry but still fresh enough to eat along with manufactured foods that are in surplus supply, wrongly packaged or not fit to sell commercially.
"It's based on a Biblical concept. We've reinvented that over the last five years or so," he said.
Leket also has a separate pick up system for non-kosher food from restaurants that it distributes in single use containers to organizations serving non-Jews, including Arabs and approximately 1,000 of the 18,000 African refugees now living in Israel.
Because of today's challenging economy, many Israelis are not able to eat nutritious foods on a regular basis; they end up either eating cheap, processed foods or may skip meals, especially if they are parents who have to feed their children. There are also no hot lunch or breakfast programs in Israel for children living in poverty.
Children can't function in school if they are not eating. To this end, Leket has a sandwich program that feeds 5,500 kids per day. However, "that addresses some part of the problem but not the whole part," said Leiba.
For instance, in immigrant communities, many children are forced to take on parents' jobs, translating for their parents or supporting their families financially. Fifty per cent of Ethiopians in Israel live below the poverty line; many in the Russian community, especially the elderly, are only able to find low paying jobs or are not employed. It's the same story for all low income communities.
Leiba explained that the minimum wage in Israel is not sufficient at only 3,800 shekels per month; the poverty line itself is $5,500 per month for a family of four (about $1,500 CAD). And with the economic crisis of the last few years, those of lower economic status have been the worst hit.
Poor people tend to eat cheap, meaning processed food with all nutrients taken from it. Leiba pointed out that studies have found increased obesity, heart disease and blood pressure among the poor. It's a vicious cycle. "Not only quality of life but it is increasing the burden on the state's health system."
Leket therefore has a certified nutritionist on staff and they are educating the non-profits they work with to provide balanced food to their clients; a move to whole grain foods, rice, peas, hummus and beans.
"Every pound of food that is rescued is a pound that otherwise would be destroyed. Every pair of hands helps."

Any volunteer help is greatly appreciated. People are encouraged to volunteer for as little as one hour when visiting Israel.

To celebrate the height of summertime, I thought it would be fun to do a simple journal writing exercise.
At the top of your journal page, simply write, "Summer is"… then write. I love free writing exercises such as this. You never know what will come out. You may get in touch with a sense of gratitude about something you are experiencing now or you may be taken back for a moment in sweet nostalgia, reliving a sweet childhood summer memory…. whatever surfaces, you will have without a doubt a list of all things summer!
To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie –
True Poems flee.
~Emily Dickinson
Shall we try this?
Ok, let's see now…
Summer is…
1. crickets chorus

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Keith J. Varadi writes about the work of Joshua Abelow which was recently on view at James Fuentes, New York.
Varadi writes: "It is an endeavor to engage with the factory-like output that is Joshua Abelow's work... If one were to step inside his studio, he or she would see stacks of packaged paintings and drawings from floor to ceiling and staggering groups of paintings in progress, each one an extension of the last. Though, the work is not limited to paintings and drawings. It has expanded into writing, photography, blogging, and organizing collaborative exhibitions. Abelow approaches these activities by balancing cryptic criticality and splayed socialism. Abelow doesn't merely engage with the 'hip,' the 'outsider,' the 'academic' or any other vague faction of the art world, but rather democratizes aesthetics and concepts in a way that continuously keeps viewers slightly off balance."
James Kalm visits the exhibition DNA: Strands of Abstraction at Loretta Howard Gallery, New York, on view through August 2, 2013.
Kalm notes that this show, and several other summer abstraction paintings (including Xstraction), "gives viewers a chance to reevaluate the many facets of this practice and with 'DNA' see the works of at least three generations of artists side by side. This show includes views of works by Robert Motherwell, Helen Frankenthaler, Franz Kline, Al Held, Louise Nevelson, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Joshua Abelow, Ronald Bladen, Brooke Moyse, Kenneth Noland and others."

John Leness
Thank you. I'm John Leness. With me this morning are Charlie Brown, Flow's President and CEO, and Doug Fletcher, Chief Financial Officer.
This call will include forward looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. During the call we will provide selected financial and performance results for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Any statements about future events, trends, risks and plans should be considered as forward looking. These are based on current expectations only. Actual results may differ from these forward looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties as are detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Flow takes no obligation to update any forward looking statements whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.
With that introduction I will turn the call over to Charlie Brown.
Charlie Brown
Thank you John. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and thank you for joining us. Today we released our results and filed a 10Q report for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2008. We are pleased to report an excellent quarter in both revenue growth and improved profitability.
For the third quarter, ending January 31, our revenues were $66.3 million representing 18% growth versus last year including a 17% growth in system sales and a 22% growth in spares sales.
Breaking down the system sales further, our core standard systems revenue for North America, which we track closely, was up 18% for the quarter. The trailing fourth quarter growth rate for this business was 15%. Our world-leading 87,000 psi or 87K Hyper-pressure waterjet systems are leading the way to this consistent growth continuing to exceed our highest expectations. This proprietary product line remains unmatched by any competitor worldwide.
Our standard system sales in Europe and Latin America combined were up over 36% on increased penetration in all markets. In local currencies our standard system sales in Europe increased by 16% and far more than that in Latin America.
These results were achieved even though the 87K product line is still very early in its ramp up in those markups.
Our aerospace business had minimal growth in the quarter but it is beginning to pick up momentum and we expect sequential growth in Q4. Even though delays in some major commercial airline programs have caused orders for our product to be pushed out we continue to be optimistic about our aerospace business and we expect several large orders will lead to improved revenue levels in the coming quarters but the specific timing of these orders is difficult to predict.
In Asia we have also begun to see improvement in our business. Revenues were up 72% from last quarter to a level comparable to last year's third quarter. In our last earnings call we said we believed that sales had bottomed out in this region and this has proven to be true. To restore this region to consistent strong growth we recognized that we needed to strengthen our management team and take actions to improve our competitive position.
In that light I am happy to announce that Brad [Hillem] has joined Flow this week to be the managing director of our Asia business. Brad will be located in the region and brings over 20 years of international experience with deep background in Asia and with leading growth businesses.
As announced six months ago, we have narrowed the focus of our applications business to exclude any non-waterjet related automation projects going forward. This business grew 4% in local currency during the quarter and we have shipped out of the factory the last non-waterjet order.
Our consumables, or spare parts business, grew 22% for the quarter with performance consistent across all segments and geographies. This recurring revenue stream consistently represents more than ¼ of our business and our online ordering capability is becoming widely adopted by our customers.
In total our 18% growth rate for the quarter once again reflects our diverse revenue stream. Standard systems up 18% in North America and 36% in Europe and Latin America. Spare parts up 22% worldwide. Asia was flat but showing promise and aerospace was flat but poised for a pick up.
It is this diverse revenue stream that continues to give us confidence in our ability to consistently grow our top line revenues at least 10% annually.
Our year-to-date revenue growth rate stands at 12% and it now appears that we should be at least at this level for the full year.
Now I'll turn it over to Doug for further financial commentary.
Doug Fletcher
Thanks Charlie. As Charlie mentioned we had good results in the quarter on strong revenue growth and improved operating leverage.
Let me touch briefly on backlog. Our backlog as of January 31 was $36 million, which is up from $34 million at the end of the last quarter and $31 million at the end of the last fiscal year.

If the story of 16-year-old Alexandria Chery wasn't tragic enough, allegations that have appeared on social media in the few days since a body "preliminarily identified" -- identification just short of positive, which is effected through DNA and/or dental records -- as that of the Orlando teen suggest that her existence was a troubled one, full of secrets and sexual abuse that ultimately led to her possible death. Social media has been a firestorm of activity, the International Business Times reported Aug. 4, as Twitter and Facebook saw enormous volumes of traffic regarding the young woman's case, but one posting under #RIPALEX got the most attention for its gruesome bluntness not only about Alexandria Chery's relationship with her mother's boyfriend, Sanel SaintSimon, but also the gory circumstances whereby she met her death.
According to the oft-retweeted #RIPALEX post on Twitter: "She Was So Young, Raped, Impregnated & Killed. This Shouldn't Have Happened, Rest Easy Baby Girl. #RIPALEX." With the damning post came a longer, more expository detailing of what Alexandria Chery's life allegedly was like.
"Her stepfather had been raping her since the age of 5," the viral Twitter post read in part. "Her stepfather would get Alex anything she wanted so she wouldn't tell. Unfortunately, she got impregnated by him and he cut the fetus out [the baby] and left it in the backseat of the car, and Alex in the woods to rot."
But if the allegations of repeated rape, impregnation, and a double murder are true, the Orlando teen's life assuredly was a living nightmare. However, the horrific details of sexual abuse have not been confirmed by authorities or anyone other than the rapid-fire rumor mill that is social media. However, prior to the remains being found that the family has been told are indeed the remains of the missing teen, Alexandria's uncle, Ray Joseph, told reporters that family members had been informed that Sanel SaintSimon, the girl's mother's boyfriend, had allegedly touched Alexandria "inappropriately" in the past, according to a couple of other family members the teen had confided in. Joseph could only speculate as to why something wasn't done at the time, something that perhaps could have pre-empted his neice going missing.
Alexandria Chery went missing on July 28, on a day that she had told her mother, Rosalie Joseph, she wasn't feeling well and was going to stay home. But when her mother attempted to call her via cell phone, she never received an answer. Fears that something was amiss exploded into true panic when she, upon returning home after work, found her daughter's room in disarray, a pair of men's underwear that reeked of bleach under her daughter's bed, and dried blood splattered in different places around the girl's bedroom, in the hall, and in the bathroom.
On July 30, Rosalie Joseph's boyfriend, Sanel SaintSimon, was arrested for supplying misleading information and being uncooperative with police during the investigation. As was reported by the Orlando Sentinel, he was also charged with attempting to destroy evidence of a crime. After following a few leads, police theorized that something had triggered an act of violence, where the 16-year-old was killed and SaintSimon was forced to get rid of the teen's body. Police believe SaintSimon tried to clean up Alexandria's bedroom and wipe it down with bleach. He then borrowed his uncle's car to dispose of the body and abandoned it. His uncle, who had originally told police that he had not loaned the car to his nephew, later admitted he had, that SaintSimon had asked him not to tell police he had borrowed the car.
Police also discovered that SaintSimon had not worked his full shift at work, even though he told them that he had. Instead, he got off early that day.
After the remains were found, SaintSimon's charges, misdemeanors, were increased to felony counts.
The horrific allegations got plenty of traffic via Facebook as well with the "RIP Alex" fan page, which has been "liked" over 51,000 times to date.
But the question remains: Are any of the allegations true? Are these actual intimate details of a secret relationship of rape and child sexual abuse with her mother's boyfriend or simply the work of someone attempting to get a public reaction (sort of like the rewards for those who create viruses, hack, and/or create urban myths)? Even considering the allegations made by Alexandria's uncle, that SaintSimon may have molested Alexandria at a younger age, molestation does not necessarily mean murder. But hiding such actions certainly provides motive for one.

Here, Rose Marie, a 58-year-old divorcee from Phoenix, Arizona, is a masseuse. Say what? Dressed like that, in skimpy lingerie with her big hooters hanging out? Hey, we didn't say she was a licensed masseuse, did we? The idea here is that the guy needs a shoulder massage. The problem is that as a masseuse, Rose Marie sucks. Sucks cock, that is. And fucks it, too. Women like Rose Marie are giving masseuses a bad name. Or a good name. It just depends on whether you care more about your shoulders or your cock.

With technology becoming such a vital part of our society today, it is not surprising that most kids enjoy time on the computer. In our house we have two desktops and one of them belongs to my boys. Although there are many games that they enjoy playing online there aren't many toys that allow they can play with both offline and online. Mechatars are innovative new toys that allow kids to have fun playing with one toy in their home or on the computer.
The Mechatar is akin to a remote controlled robot which allows kids to explore the physical world. The Mechatar's wireless remote control is an intuitive device that kids can use to guide their robot and complete offline missions and battles. While your kids can explore their world with the Mechatar right out of the box, to complete offline missions and battles the Mechatar must first be connected with its digital world. When the Mechatar is connected to the internet (its digital world) kids can begin exploring the Mechaverse.
To connect the Mechatar to the Mechaverse you connect it to your computer using the included USB cable. Once the cable is connected to your Windows PC the registration page will load and your child can create their account. Once the account is created there is a tutorial that explains the virtual world to your child and they can also explore the Mechaverse. Your account will be loaded with 210 credits which can be used to purchase new weapons at the online "store".
During game play your child will enter battles which can be won with the use of strategy. There are 8 elements which control the natural flow of life in the Mechaverse. The weapons in the Mechaverse are each infused with an elemental power which gives the weapon a unique advantage in battle. Once it battle the elements are a critical part in determining how powerful a particular attack is. The goal of the Mechaverse is for kids to work together with their Mechatars to defeat the evil Swarm.
If your child and their friend both have a Mechatar they can use their remote controls to battle each other in offline game play. Once your child gains experience in the Mechaverse and in online battles they can unlock missions to play offline using their Mechatar and remote control.
The online game is free for kids even if they don't have a Mechatar robot. Beginning in October 2011 you will have the option to purchase Mechra (online currency for the Mechaverse) to obtain elite weapons and missions.
Our Thoughts
When I accepted this Mechatar review I though it would be great for my 7 year old son. My son was excited to play with the Mechatar and as a remote controlled robot he really enjoys it. My son has not learned to read yet so he found the online game to be a bit frustrating. I sat there with him and read the tutorial to him and even I found the game to be confusing. There is a lot to remember for your child to feel that they are successful in the game. My son quickly lost interest in the online game so he didn't care to try the offline missions. The offline battles seem like a fun idea if your kids have friends who also have a Mechatar. Although Mechatars are recommended for 6-10 year old kids, I think they would be better suited for the 9-13 age range. The graphics in the online game are great but I found that the game does use a great deal of my computer's memory.
Mechatars are available in three different characters – Wrexx (red), Kodar (blue) and Alpha (green). Each Mechatar character has it's own unique traits. Mechatars can be found at stores such as Target, Amazon, Radio Shack and online at www.iloverobots.com for a MSRP of $39.99.
If you'd like to purchase a Mechatar you can use the code MECHMOM at iloverobots.com for 10% off your purchase. Expires 11/30/11
Final Thoughts – Mechatars have a lot of potential to be a really fun toy for tween boys and I appreciate that there is no chatting and no forums on the website so that kids can't get themselves into trouble. I think the online game is a bit too complicated but my son does enjoy playing with the robot around the house. Overall I would give Mechatars 3/5 stars.
One lucky reader will win a Mechatar of their own!

Questionable quality
Reviewer: A viewer from New Holland, PA US
received a couple of these packs of hooks. Out of the first pack was two hooks that were unusable because they were disformed. The points and barbs are not the same size from hook to hook. Won't be buying any of these again.
Perfect for the Price
Reviewer: A viewer from Phoenix, AZ US
These hooks are great for the price. Only thing I notice is they are a bit longer than the 2XL spec. They are the same size as the Mustad R73-9671 which are 2XH/3XL. The quality of the hooks is top notch, no issues like others have reported. Will buy again.
Great hook for a great price
Reviewer: A viewer from N HIGHLANDS, CA USA
Found my new hook. I love being able to buy at least 50 hooks in a pack. The quality is all I could ask for. I know other hooks that are double the price are of a better quality but, they are plenty sharp enough and catch just as many fish as pricey hooks. The hooks are as strong as I could ask for as well. These hooks are finished better than other hooks I have bought at the same price. The price makes them well worth it as well.

One of Mother Nature's greatest gifts
I was fortunate enough to see the inside story of one of Mother Nature's greatest products: Cork. Some 15 years ago, Floor Covering Weekly was the first industry publication to regularly talk about and promote cork flooring, which was a direct result of my first trip to Portugal and more directly, to Amorim Revestimentos, S.A., the world's largest cork manufacturer. This last trip had an even more profound impact.
The Amorim family still runs the company — now headed by Antonio Rios de Amorim — and is in its fifth generation. The stately Founders home stands as a tribute to the couple who started it all, as a meeting house for guests and it even includes a cork museum.
On this side of the Atlantic, Amorim North America is represented by CEO Michael Bennett.
As you know from reading our magazine, cork is actually the bark of the cork oak tree, most of which grows in Portugal and Spain. During the harvest season, farm laborers collect cork much in the same way they did 100 years ago: Using a simple hand tool, they quickly and carefully carve out a section of bark, peel it back, stack it up and move on to the next stand of trees to repeat the process. They never chop down a tree — some are known to be 200 years old or more — and harvest the bark every nine years after its first harvest at the 25-year mark.
The primary purpose of cork production is to supply wine stoppers to the world. The remaining raw material is used in everything from consumer products — shoes, furniture, decorative accessories — to building materials and flooring — underlayment, insulation, gaskets and more.
One of the greatest attributes of this product is its recyclability. At Amorim, they have virtually zero waste — and I mean zero. What isn't turned into wine stoppers, or cork boards, or wall panels, or floors, or any number of other products, serves as fuel for the many cork manufacturing facilities under the Amorim name — I saw five of them and there might be more. Cork dust is an excellent source of fuel.
Besides the incredible green story it offers — it has other benefits that are literally unheard of in other products. It's easy to get carried away singing the praises of cork.
The most fundamental thing about cork as it relates to flooring — at least to my mind — is its beauty. Today's cork floors are gorgeous. They are also among some of the most highly engineered products made in a number of formats that suit a wide variety of needs. Throw in an incredible sustainability story, unparalleled acoustic, insulation and compression properties, and you have a product that is sure to excite and inspire.
If you haven't taken a good look at cork lately, call in one of your suppliers and ask for the whole song and dance. Chances are, you'll be as inspired as I am.

Tony Calvento and Atty. Alma Mallonga are just two of the most powerful persons in the camp of the actor-TV host Vhong Navarro, based on the latest report, the two are now exerting their efforts just to make things clear for the victim of a mauling incident happened in Forbeswood Condominium in Taguig City last Jan. 22. The latest news regarding the incident and Roxanne Cabanero's claim that she was raped by the actor-TV host is still one of the hottest topics in print and social media today, March 2, 2014.
According to the report, Roxanne Cabanero is almost dismissing the exact date of the alleged rape assault when her lawyer, Atty. Virgilio Batalla denied that his client's complaint-affidavit mentioned the date the alleged sexual assault took place.
Some observers believe that Atty. Virgilio Batalla was forced to deny the exact date because of the facts and evidences presented by Vice Ganda, one of the hosts of It's Showtime and a friend of Navarro who was accidentally performing with Kean Cipriano and Vhong Navarro during the evening of April 24, 2010, the exact date stated by Roxanne Cabanero in her complaint affidavit.
In her latest appearance on Buzz Ng Bayan, Atty. Alma Mallonga, legal counsel of Vhong said she won't buy Atty. Virgilio Batalla's latest statement because she read and understood clearly everything in Roxanne's affidavit. Using his official Facebook page, Tony Calvento, one of the most respected Filipino journalists also commented on the issue, he said Vhong Navarro's camp is now palnning to file perjury and libel cases against Roxanne Cabanero.

Hello May mommas!
A friendly warning from earlier birth months.
Registering at Target for your baby items as well as independently purchasing baby items online is turning out to be a bad choice for mommas on the other spring boards!
They have apparentley shipped sale items with missing parts only to give mothers the run around on actually getting the missing pieces. They have not honored promotional sales or sent "gifts" along with the products you have purchased as well as flat out ignored complaints about their online store.
I just spent my own little 3 day horror fest with the customer service department and after posting on my own birth month, decided to pay it forward with a warning.
Please consider not using Target.com for your baby needs. It has cost many moms more money and time than it was worth!

Generally when we hear the word Ancestors, we think of those people we've never met who lived years or perhaps centuries before us. I've recently begun to feel a change in the definition of Ancestor to include those who I have known but who no longer walk with physical feet upon the Earth. It seems natural that Fall, being a time of change and preparedness of nature for the sleep of winter, to be associated with those who have passed into the realm we will all one day return to.
Samhein (Halloween as it is more widely known these days) is a time when the veils are thinnest between our physical realm and the otherworldly realm our loved ones have passed into. Many years ago I was introduced to the ritual of burning a candle on Samhein with the names of those loved ones we miss carved into the wax. I will admit that I have not done this nearly as often as I would like, but this year I have the perfect candle and will be burning it through the evening into the night as I hand candy out to children dressed up for the occasion at a friends home. This candle is in the shape of a pumpkin and has been sitting on my alter for the past year, absorbing everything that has happened in my home and last night I carved names into it: a lot of names.
As I blessed the candle and held it between my palms I was overcome with all the complete lives that were held within: animal & human. Most recently: Aussie, Jake, Eli, Brenden and into the past the animals kept coming to mind: Toes, Patsy, the Ferrets: Jr, Bear and Bandit, BearCat, Jerry, all my Hollister kitties I had to leave behind when I moved to Colorado all the way to the only family dog of my childhood memory: Saint. My human family who will greet me in my own time is no less impressive: my brothers Ron & David, Karla my dear friend who died from colon cancer, my fathers parents, my mothers mother & Voa, my great-grandmother. Not to mention my mothers Aunt Josie who had breast cancer back when nobody talked about it.
Last year for Samhein I took part in my first group ritual for the occasion and the months since then have been filled with many, many challenges. I am not alone in these challenges: as we continue to shift consciousness the feeling of disorientation abounds in those around me. From financial obstacles to emotional ones, we are all flowing along this river of the changing human condition whether we are aware of it or not. Of course, I have also experienced some amazing steps that clearly are leading me to where I wish to be. Taking the Healing Touch for Animals level 1 class, having a reading with Dana Shino and my second annual Hand Fasting with Doug were the most notable. No less notable are my recently developed friendships with 2 amazing women-the first real sisterhood I've felt in over 10 years.
In a strange kind of way, it is almost as if I can include pieces of my own self in my dedication to those who no longer live on the physical plane. Spiritual work has many facets including the shedding of old habits & ways of being/thinking that no longer serve you, which is only half the work. It has been becoming very clear lately to me that it is an important part of the work, but almost more important is the very conscious choice of what to fill the void with once you shed the unwanted parts of yourself. If you do not decide to create new habits that create the person you wish to be, the voids will fill with 'more of the same' and you will find yourself on a never ending merry-go-round ride of dealing with what seems the same thing over and over and over. At times like that I remind myself "Baby steps" are still steps in the right direction. Sometimes even baby steps feel like 10' walls: I'm in the process of kicking Soda-much harder than I ever thought.
Tonight I will be handing out candy for a friend while she takes her own 3 little goblins out hunting for candy. I haven't had the chance since moving to Elizabeth, so I am pretty excited! I read earlier this week a column of Dana's that encouraged us all to find our communities, our circle of human friends & family that help us become the potential within; not only for our own well being, but for the great healing of our planet and all life upon it. If you feel any sense of an awakening, a coming "Big Thing" but don't know what it could be-you are not alone. We are living during an extremely powerful and life-changing part of Human History. Whether you are aware or not will not stop the evolution of consciousness into the true light of Compassion-the human race is awakening to their True Spiritual Nature.
Samhein gives us a chance to stop and honor those who've lead the way before us, that made our reality possible.

Well, I'm having that first posting nostalgia again. I'm proud of myself actually. I managed to post three things at once. ~go me~
In other news, I've decided that if you wonderful people would like me to, you could commission me. I've never done commissions that often due to the fact that I would usually get my art done and then not get paid. Which sort of turned me off of the whole thing.
Anywho, if you want me to draw something for you, I'd be happy to. Just drop me a note with bunches of detail, okay?

You give a kid a candy bar and tell him he has to wait three days before he can eat it. Not going to happen. Fireworks are the adult candy bar. Once we get them we can't wait to use them. Nice people defy the law and the consideration of their neighbors and pets just to blow something up. What can be done about it? Probably not much. But we may want to think about shortening the window of opportunity between the selling process and the using process. Oh, and you may want to enforce fines on the abusers. Just a thought.

Why do cats purr? When's the next No. 41 bus? Where are the books with magic spells that really work? What's a fractal? How do you spell Cartoon Network? What time is it in China?
I've worked for more than 10 years in the children's room of the Shaker Heights Public Library, but the confidence young patrons place in me is still humbling. Stepping up to our desk, they fire away, one question after another, sure we'll know the answers. Nothing beats finding what a child is looking for. When his face lights up, it's as good as being a rock star. Other times, it's more like being part of a vaudeville routine.
Child: Do you know where my father is?
Librarian: No, but your mother's right over there.
Child: She doesn't know where he is either.
The status of know-it-all may be the only aspect of the librarian's role that has remained constant over the years. The only one of us who wears a bun is the young guy over in
movies and music. The shushing finger to the lips? Don't make us laugh.
This isn't the library of our childhoods. These days, the questions that stump librarians, the ones that keep us lying awake, are usually the ones we ask ourselves.
Shaker Heights is an inner-ring suburb facing lots of challenges. A recent report says that in the last decade, poor suburban populations grew almost five times faster than their urban counterparts. That surprises no one sitting behind the children's room desk.
When East Cleveland's budget crisis briefly forced it to close the main library, parents demanded: "What are our kids supposed to do now? Where are they supposed to go?"
For many children, a library's primary purpose has become a place to hang. A place to feel safe, to get warm, to cool off, to wait untll parents get off work, to hide from parents who are out of work, to play computer games or eat or sleep or otherwise pass the long stretches of time when they have no place else to be.
Can't you make that boy quit bothering me? You got poster board and markers for my project? Where are the books about, you know ... somebody died? My stepfather got mad and I ran out of the house without my coat and now what should I do?
Questions — they're the heart of our job. No child disturbs a librarian as much as the one who never asks a thing, who passes through the building without ever making use of us.
One afternoon, a parent complained that the toddler bathroom had been locked for a long time. We knocked, and at last a teenage boy who should've been in school burst out and made for the exit. Inside, a teary girl with smeared mascara told us that if we called her mother, she'd get kicked out of the house.
Someone took her into the story-hour room, where the quilt was still on the floor and the flannel board still set up. It was only a heartbeat since she'd been young enough to count the yellow ducks and sing along with "Old MacDonald."
What went wrong for her? Could it still go right? What did she need and could we get it for her? Or was it arrogance or naiveté to think the library could make a difference?
As things get rougher for families, more teachers, librarians and other professional optimists ask, sometimes sadly, sometimes furiously, where the boundaries are. Where does our commitment to kids' lives end?
Who knows the answer to questions like these? Not me.
Someone tugged on my sleeve. Looking down, I found a boy the size of a fire hydrant, asking for that green book with T. rex on the cover. I sped straight to the shelf and whipped it out, a magician producing the card hidden deep in the deck. I threw in a story about a dinosaur who hates to go to bed. Riveted by his books, the boy barely acknowledged me. I was the library lady, after all. He expected no less of Ms. Know-It-All.
Back at the desk, I made a feeble attempt to tell myself I was doing an OK job. But that day, the questions I could answer were puny compared to those I couldn't.
The world has always come through the doors of the public library, but these days it doesn't lower its voice. More and more, the needs that librarians struggle to fill are immense.
But a librarian hates nothing — trust me, nothing! — so much as an unanswered question. So even as we fear not knowing the answer, or giving a pitifully inadequate one, we beam thought-rays at the kids coming through that door. Tell us what you need. If you don't know, let's figure it out together. Because we're here to learn, too.

Convert KOTOR Sounds to a usable audio file
I'm now here, so I don't know if this post belongs here or in the Holowan Laboratories section. Anyway, about 6 years ago (I was 10 at the time) I played and finished KOTOR and I really was amazed by it all, even by all the source files that was used to make the game. Starting around that time, I have been very interested in video game sounds (effects, voice, etc.) and have extracted sounds from many games to my personal collection.
Lately, I went to do the same with KOTOR and KOTOR II, but I keep getting these errors. I tried decompressing the files in Miles Sound Studio, but it keeps saying:
"Error: No codec found for requested input type".
The sounds I'm looking for are in the "Streamsounds" and "Streamwaves" folders and their respective sub-folders. (I already have the music BTW) Can anyone help me with this?
Well IIRC kotor sound files are .mp3's with an appended .wav extension. So technically they're .wav files. You should be able to open them, what are you trying to play them with? Also just a note that I'm only familiar with the voiceover files and have never even seen the other sound effects, so I'm just assuming they're the same. If not someone please step in...
The sound effects are in a different format than the music, and Miles will not read them properly. If I had to guess, I'd say it's because the music is mono, playing evenly throughout the entire level, while the sound effects are adaptive; they are placed in the module just like other object - what you hear is based on where your character is in the level and even in which direction you are facing. As far as I know, no one has yet cracked the format. You can, however, extract most of these sounds with KOTOR Tool (BIFs -> sounds.bif ->WAV Files); these extract as simple WAV files - no need to convert with Miles. For the ones that aren't in there, I find them in StreamSounds and copy them to Override, renaming them to replace some other sound effect, one from the game menu - such as gui_click.wav. That lets me hear the effect on its own, with no other game noises interfering. I then record my Windows audio with Audacity. It's a bit of a procedure, but most of them are in KOTOR Tool to begin with, so it's not so bad.

College Hockey:Elmira Survives Scare from Hamilton
The fourth-ranked Elmira College Soaring Eagles had all they could handle Wednesday night against Hamilton as they survived the Continentals upset bid, squeaking by with a 7-5 win. In a game that literally had everything: lots of scoring, physical play, key saves, high emotion and even a penalty shot, the Soaring Eagles and Continentals certainly didnt disappoint the crowd at the Murray Athletic Center on Wednesday.
The Soaring Eagles (11-2-0) rallied from two goal deficits, three times during the course of the game and closed the game with four unanswered goals in the last 10 minutes of the game to secure the non-conference victory against Hamilton (3-6-0) of the NESCAC.
Im glad that were out of here with a win, said Elmira head coach Paul Nemetz-Carlson. We responded well to the adversity we faced and this win certainly helped us grow as team.
Leading the way for the Elmira offense was sophomore forward Jenna McCalls four points. McCall (Thamesford, Ont.,) had two goals and two assists including the fourth Elmira goal that proved to be the turning point of the game when McCall cut the Hamilton lead to 5-4 and sparked the ferocious late rally.
With Elmira trailing 5-3 and searching for an emotional play to get back into the game, McCall answered when she banged home a loose rebound in front of Hamilton goaltender, Meghan Shine.
Farren (Hart) took a shot from the top of the circle and then there was a big scramble in front of the net, McCall said. I saw the puck sitting in the crease and was able to put it in before the goalie could recover.
Nemetz-Carlson praised the play of the McCall as being a huge part in the Soaring Eagles comeback.
The game changed when she changed, Nemetz-Carlson said. She works hard is full of spirit and our emotional leader. When she goes, we follow.
Elmira never let off the gas from that point on as sophomore Melanie Henshaw took over from there having a part in the last three Elmira goals. Henshaw (Margate, Fla.) assisted on the game-tying goal as her shot was deflected in front by Amanda Ritzel (Spencerport, N.Y.) for the Soaring Eagles third power play goal of the game.
Henshaw put Hamilton away for good scoring the game-winning goal with a little over five minutes to go and then scoring the game clincher with 57 seconds remaining in the game.
The game winning goal came on the power play as Henshaw was able to beat Shine high to put the Soaring Eagles out front for good.
(Jamie) Kivi and I always work on those plays at the top of the circles, Henshaw said. We knew what we had to do and I saw an opening in the top left corner and shot it there.
Henshaw acknowledged that the win was key heading into a big game this weekend against Manhattanville.
This was definitely a big win, Henshaw said. We knew that they were a good team as they played us close last year. It was great that we were able to come back and hopefully we can keep the momentum going.
For most of the game, the eventual Elmira win was nowhere near a sure thing. The Soaring Eagles were taking a lot of penalties and struggling in the defensive zone allowing two breakaway goals to Hamiltons Stephanie Miguel (Maple, Ont.,) for their first goal and Kathryn Kroleski (New Rochelle, N.Y.,) for their fifth goal.
The Soaring Eagles also gave up two power play goals after giving up just three all season before Wednesday. The two power play goals came 26 seconds apart early in the second period and gave the Continentals a 3-1 lead. Kroleski notched her first of two goals in the game and Cindy Lukianchuk (Erickson, Man.) tallied the other.
We did have a lot of penalties and thats going to happen with the aggressive style of play we use, Nemetz-Carlson said. I think we might have been a bit too overconfident in our penalty kill and we got a little lax and Hamilton made us pay.
Perhaps the most exciting play of the night happened with 30 seconds to go in the game when Hamiltons leading scorer Lauren Tomford was awarded a penalty shot after Elmiras McCall was whistled for covering the puck in the crease after a scramble in front of the net.
Tomford (Avon, Conn.), skated in fast and tried to beat Elmira goaltender Cara McGurry high and glove side like Hamilton had been doing all game long, but her shot sailed high and wide and the Soaring Eagles preserved their two goal advantage, while the crowd at the Murray Athletic Center let out a collective sigh of relief.
One big cause for concern for the Soaring Eagles as they head into Saturdays big showdown at Manhattanville is the fact Elmira has given up nine goals in their last two games. While the offense has been able to bail the Soaring Eagles out in the third period, Nemetz-Carlson agreed that its something that will be focused on in practice the next few days.
We need to be more patient on defense and make some smarter decisions with the puck and positioning, Nemetz-Carlson said. These last two games weve had a lot of defensive breakdowns that created turnovers and resulted in goals for the other team. Some of the mistakes have also been mental but were going to work on that before Manhattanville.
Elmira travels to Purchase, N.Y. on Saturday to take on the eighth-ranked Manhattanville Valiants (7-3-0) in a big non-conference tilt that will have a strong impact on both teams NCAA resumes.
Hamilton will return home to NESCAC conference play as they host Conn. College on Friday and seventh-ranked Amherst on Saturday.

Dental work during chemotherapy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Can a patient receiving chemotherapy have much-needed dental work?
Kendra Schaefer, DMD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Division of Prosthodontics at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Quite simply, the answer is yes, when timed correctly. The dentist should call the oncologist to determine if there are any contraindications to any medications that may be needed for the dental treatment. Patients can be more likely to get an abscess or infection during chemotherapy because they become immunocompromised. Dental emergencies can often be treated on an as-needed basis during chemotherapy by carefully timing the dental work around the low point (nadir) of the patient's blood counts. One exception may be very low platelets, but if the dental work is very important, the patient could receive a platelet transfusion prior to the dental work.
Routine elective dental care (cleaning) is generally NOT undertaken during chemotherapy because of the sores that patients can get in their mouth during chemotherapy, and the risk of bleeding because of low platelet counts.

|Unmet need
Blood transfusion is usually a safe medical procedure. Nevertheless, there are a number of adverse events that can be associated with blood transfusion. Transmission of pathogens is one of the risks, although the risk is small due to tests for a number of infectious agents. To reduce the remaining risk a proactive approach is needed. In recent years a number of systems were implemented to reduce pathogens in blood components intended for transfusion. To-date, only systems for platelet concentrates and fresh-frozen plasma are in use, leaving the most important component, red cell concentrate, unavailable in a sterile form.

Hemalux intends to form a partnership with a large blood company that will support the development of the system and be able to commercialize and distribute it world wide.

Children's Thinking, 5th Edition, David F. Bjorklund
A comprehensive book supported by extensive research studies and data, Bjorklund's text presents the broadest coverage of topics in cognitive development. Unlike other books, Bjorklund shows readers how developmental function can help explain individual differences in cognition by covering both the typical pattern of change in thinking observed over time and the individual differences in children's thinking in infancy and childhood. A major theme of this book is the continuous transaction between the embodied child embedded in a social world: although a child is born prepared to make some sense of the world, his or her mind is also shaped by forces in the physical and social environment.
About the Author
David F. Bjorklund is Professor of Psychology at Florida Atlantic University, where he has taught graduate and undergraduate courses in developmental psychology since 1976. He received a B.A. degree in psychology from the University of Massachusetts in 1971, an M.A. degree in psychology from the University of Dayton in 1973, and a Ph.D. degree in developmental psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1976. He has received numerous teaching and research awards from Florida Atlantic University, and is the recipient of an Alexander von Humboldt Research Award. He has co-authored several books. Bjorklund has served as Associate Editor of CHILD DEVELOPMENT, published by the Society for Research in Child Development, has served on the editorial boards of DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY, DEVELOPMENTAL REVIEW, COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY REVIEW, JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE PSYCHOLOGY, JOURNAL OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT, JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL CHILD PSYCHOLOGY, and SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY QUARTERLY, and has served as a contributing editor to PARENTS MAGAZINE. He has published more than 100 scholarly articles on various topics relating to child development and has received financial support for his research from the National Science Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, and the German Research Foundation. His current research interests include children's cognitive development, cognitive developmental primatology, and evolutionary developmental psychology.
I bought this book for a course and ended up reading MORE than what was on the reading assignments. The text is both informative and enjoyable to read as I was able to learn more than I could have imagined about how children's thought processes develop over different periods of time. The author does a great job, using a plethora of fun examples, of connecting to the reading audience who may not have a solid psychology background. Moreover, this book even makes a great guideline for parents who may have questions or interests in their child's thinking patterns and behaviors. I am very glad to have bought this book and plan on holding onto it until I have kids of my own someday (hopefully).

Next Medicine for Parkinsons?
Hi anyone and everyone,
Please answer if you have any knowledge of this subject.
My dad is now taking carbidopa/levodopa for parkinsons. 1 1/2 yr ago when he was first diagnosed, he barely had any tremors. Just the shuffling steps and the bent head (down). Also the stiffness of joints.
What is the next step - medicine wise - for him, that might help some. He now has more tremors. And he crumples, sort of, when he tries to walk or get out of the car, sometimes! He says he feels dizzy, but I think it is just his alzheimers and parkinsons illnessess! When he is tired or stressed, he has more tremors (much more that 1 yr. ago!).
What is the next higher/more helpful medicine, that might stop most of his tremors? Is the weakness in his legs, due to his parkinsons? Or could it just be a part of his low blood pressure?
If you do not know the answers to these ?s, please tell me where I might find them. Thanks. Take care. Wannabe
