The 31-year-old from Northern Ireland has been a stand-out performer for Saints and has now been rewarded with a one-year contract extension.
Mannus quit Shamrock Rovers to move across the Irish Sea and sign with St Johnstone in July, 2011.
He has made 44 appearances for Lomas' men this season, clocking up nine clean sheets as he helped the side register the third best defensive record in the SPL.
St Johnstone conceded just 44 league goals this term, with only the Clydesdale Bank Premier League champions Celtic and eighth-placed Aberdeen boasting better figures.
Their solidity at the back was crucial to the club's late bid for Europa League qualification..
Saints snatched third place in the SPL and with it qualification for European competition with their 2-0 win over Motherwell in Sunday's final round of league fixtures.
That result, coupled with Inverness' 1-0 defeat to Ross County, means St Johnstone will be back on the continent for the second season running.

Petron Bataan Refinery wanted to expand production to process 180 thousand barrels of crude oil per day while changing its feedstock from Arab Light to less costly heavy and sour crudes.
The West Central Conservancy District (WCCD), located in Hendricks County, IN, was formed to resolve sewer issues that the service area was experiencing with the local utilities company in the mid- '80s.
Lee Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF), located in Massachusetts, received an award for its excellent treatment performance in 2012 from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 4 years after start-up.
The Village of Waterbury Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is located on the Winooski River floodplain, which poses challenges from significant flooding during the spring runoff and storm seasons to strong algal blooms in late spring.
A refinery needed to upgrade the wastewater treatment system to prepare for expected changes brought about by the use of a new crude feedstock with elevated concentrations of TDS and conductivity. Veolia Water Technologies supplied an AnoxKaldnes Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) treatment system to reduce the BOD and ammonia in the effluent.
Facing state Department of Environmental Quality mandates, an Arizona wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) took on a large-scale expansion project and effluent-quality upgrade to become a state-of-the-art water reclamation facility.
The Town of Elkton, Maryland, located in Cecil County near the head of the Chesapeake Bay, has a population of approximately 15,000 and an average elevation of 9.1 m (30 ft). Elkton is an economically strong, stable community that is very conscientious about environmental issues. In an effort to protect the Chesapeake Bay aquatic life, new stringent wastewater effluent regulations were implemented requiring very low nutrient levels in wastewater treatment plant discharge.
Since water is an essential element in food or beverage operations, reusing it can reduce a business's water usage ratios, help meet sustainability goals, lower supply risk and contribute to cost savings, making it a top priority for many companies today.
In late 2013, Headworks Bio Inc. was awarded a contract with General Contractor Soluciones Tecnicas Ambientales, S.A. (SOLAMSA) to supply an IFAS system to upgrade the existing Ptar El Roble conventional activated sludge (CAS) treatment facility in Puntarenas, Costa Rica — the first IFAS installation in the country.
Sturbridge, Massachusetts historically suffered from periodic blooms of filamentous bacteria that caused bulking in the secondary clarifiers of their three activated sludge package plants.
Prior to 2007, Concord, Massachusetts wastewater treatment plant operated under a NPDES permit that allowed a seasonal phosphorus limit of 0.7 mg/L. But with the issuance of a new five-year permit with a phosphorus limit of 0.2 mg/L and the probability that future limits could reach as low as 0.05 mg/L, Concord needed a treatment solution that would be reliable and cost-effective today and over the long term.
With the AnoxKaldnes Hybas IFAS system, the City of Cocoa Beach, FL, met the challenges of tighter nutrient regulations, site constraints, and operating conditions. And the project met the city's goals to meet these challenges with a simultaneous decrease in energy use. On top of that, the city did not need to increase operations time or staffing to meet these goals. With the AnoxKaldnes Hybas IFAS system, the city is now meeting stricter nutrient regulations – and doing it sustainably.
About Nutrient Removal
Nutrient removal from wastewater consists of treating wastewater to remove nitrogen and phosphorus before it reenters natural waterways. High levels of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater cause eutrophication, a process where excess nutrients stimulate excessive plant growth such as algal blooms and cyanobacteria. The decomposition of the algae by bacteria uses up the oxygen in the water causing other organisms to die. This creates more organic matter for the bacteria to decompose. In addition, some algal blooms can produce toxins that contaminate drinking water supplies.
As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program regulates point sources, such as municipal wastewater treatment plants, that discharge pollutants as effluent into the waters of the United States. In recent years, many of the States' environmental bodies have lowered nutrient limits to arrest eutrophication. Maryland's effort to protect the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries is perhaps the most notable example of nutrient removal in the US. Nutrient removal continues to be a growing area of focus for wastewater treatment throughout the world.
The removal of nitrogen and phosphorus require different nutrient removal processes. To remove nitrogen, the nitrogen is oxidized from ammonia to become nitrate through a process called nitrification. This process is then followed by denitrification where the nitrate is reduced to nitrogen gas which is released to the atmosphere and removed from the wastewater.
Nitrification is a two-step aerobic process which typically takes place in aeration tanks. Denitrification requires anoxic conditions to encourage the appropriate biological conditions to form. The activated sludge process is often used to reduce nitrate to nitrogen gas in anoxic or denitrification tanks.
Phosphorus can be removed biologically using polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) which accumulate large quantities of phosphorus within their cells and separate it from treated water. Phosphorus removal can also be achieved by chemical removal. Once removed as sludge, phosphorus may be stored in a land fill. However, many municipalities and treatment facilities are looking to resell the biosolids for use in fertilizer.

AUTHOR: ReactorCore - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 20, 2009POSTED: Thursday, August 20, 2009
If approached by this type of scam, you have the right to ask for "proof of debt" from the collector, be it the original creditor or a collection agency looking to recover the funds in question. They cannot refuse this.
If they are unable or unwilling to provide proof of debt, then take the position that you, in fact, owe no monies. If they can provide bona fide proof, then exercise your rights under the Fair Debt Collections Act and work with the original creditor to resolve the situation. In your particular case, you obviously had the ability and desire to settle the "debt" in question, since you originally issued a payment to settle.
Do not be intimidated by thugs. The only power they have over you is your own fear. Be firm and assertive. You don't have to be rude, but presenting yourself as calm, measured and sure of your statements will go a long way.
If you genuinely believe (or know) that you have never done business with a company that a "collector" is calling you about, tell the collector this. Absolutely ask for that proof of debt, and follow through on your own initiative by calling the financial department of the company in question personally and inquire if an account with your details has, in fact, been forwarded to a collection agency for action. In this case, you would likely get a negative response, at which time you can tell that financial department that someone is acting in bad faith in their name by using them to fraudulently "collect" on delinquent accounts that don't exist. They may very well want to launch an investigation of their own.
In any scam, the devil is always in the details.... Ask questions! Ask the name, physical address, phone number and such of the company who the "collector" claims they are collecting on the behalf of. Ask for the name of a contact person at that company. Enough grilling, and often the whole story of the "collector" will begin to unravel, as they'll be unable to fill in vital pieces of info that should be a snap for any real collector with legitimate collections business with you.
Be especially wary of any "collector" that claims they are trying to collect on a debt that is, perhaps, years old. It's a memory confidence trick designed to make you second guess yourself.
If you know 100% you're in the right and the collection is bogus, stand up to the shyster, tell them to sod off and let them know that you will be following up with your Attorney General's office and the local law enforcement's Internet Crimes/Fraud Division with every scrap of information regarding them that you have.
Finally, and this is a HUGE tip off, remember that any legitimate collector can not present themselves as a spokesperson or representative for any law enforcement agency. They are not allowed, by law, to threaten you with arrest or seizure of your assets. They cannot tell you that repo men are on the way or the police will come and arrest you and they certainly cannot tell you that you "have warrants out for your arrest". It is, in fact, none of their business or concern, and really, they shouldn't even have any access to such information at all. If they approached a law enforcement entity asking for warrant information on an individual, they'd be sent packing in short order.

The US Homeland Security Department is warning airlines flying to Russia that terrorists may try to smuggle explosives on board hidden in toothpaste tubes.
The threat was passed onto airlines that have direct flights to Russia, including some that originate in the United States, according to a law enforcement official speaking Wednesday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss details of the warning.
The official said the airlines were warned that explosive devices could be assembled in flight or upon arrival at the Olympics.
The department said in a statement that the U.S. ``isn't aware of a specific threat to the homeland at this time.'' It said the department ``regularly shares information with domestic and international partners, including those associated with international events such as the Sochi Olympics.''
Delta Airlines is the only U.S. carrier with a direct flight from the United States to Moscow. Russian airlines Aeroflot and Transaero both operate several nonstop flights from the U.S.
United Airlines, the official airline of the U.S. Olympic team, does not have scheduled service to Russia but is operating some charter flights to Sochi.

Cancer Health Center
Diet, Fitness Coaches Help Cancer Survivors
May 12, 2009 -- Coaching and coaxing elderly cancer survivors about their need to exercise and eat healthy foods can significantly reduce their rate of physical decline, a new study indicates.
Researchers from Duke University Medical Center and the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center signed up 641 elderly cancer survivors who were overweight or obese and had been treated for breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer but had not experienced a recurrence for five years or more.
Wendy Demark-Wahnefriend, MD, PhD, of M.D. Anderson's department of behavioral science, says 319 were assigned to an intervention group that received 15 telephone sessions with a health counselor for a year.
A comparison group of 322 people was told to go about normal routines, and that they'd get the counseling after a year.
Those getting the coaching and counseling for home-based exercising and dieting had much higher levels of physical function after a year, reporting more ease in going up and down stairs, running a short distance, or stepping on and off a stool.
The researchers used scoring systems to assess function, assigning points on the basis of participants' reported ability to perform such physical tasks.
Those who received regular calls worked toward establishing several daily goals, including performing lower body strength exercises, walking a half hour, and using portion-control plates, cups, and bowls; they were also were reminded to eat more fruits and vegetables.
They also received a personally tailored workbook and a series of quarterly newsletters, designed to motivate them to maintain good exercise and eating habits.
It worked, says Miriam Morey, PhD, a researcher in the Duke Center for Aging and at the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
"Our study showed that by reaching out to older cancer survivors in their homes and giving them tools to improve diet and exercise, we were able to reduce the rate of functional decline," she says in a news release.
The elderly people who received personalized counseling had an average decrease in the physical function scale of two points, indicating their decreases in physical function were "not even clinically detectable" after a year. But those in the comparison group had decreases of almost five points.

|Although the role of the periodic errors of optical heterodyne interferometers in displacement measurements is fairly well understood, their influence on the calibration of other types of displacement sensors do not seem to be studied as extensively. We have performed a careful analysis of the role of these errors on the calibration of a capacitance displacement sensor, which is integrated in a linear piezoelectric transducer for nanometrology applications, over displacement ranges in the sub micrometer range. Assuming a linear dependence of the output voltage of the capacitance displacement sensor on the displacement it was found analytically that periodic the interferometer errors lead to a decaying oscillation of the sensor sensitivity as the displacement range used in the calibration increases. For use of a double path interferometer with a polarization mixing amplitude of 0.5 nm and a polarization mixing wavelength of 79 nm deviations of sensor sensitivity of 0.3% for a range of 0.2 mm and 0.029% for a range of 1 mm were estimated. The pronounced oscillations of the sensor's sensitivity over very small displacement ranges as predicted by the theoretical description were verified experimentally. An agreement within the experimentally observed spread was obtained.

I see white people
Yesterday, I noted that moronic Washington Post piece decrying the whiteness of the GOP convention.
Reader Daniel G. points to this photo of the working media. He e-mails: "While this is a good story on the media defensiveness over Palin, I couldn't help notice that the attached photo illustrates that the MSM is the LAST group that should be tut-tutting the GOP on its alleged lack of racial diversity!!! Why, they look just like the GOP!"

As you may know, I am:
A. a big fan of Neil Gaiman;
B. a procrastinating idiot.
So, when I discovered that such thing as Neil's Calendar of Tales project exists, I was excited and thrilled beyond words. But. I already mentioned that I am an idiot, so I just messed up the deadline aaand therefore fucked up everything. This is what I managed to create in two days and Jesus, it is actually not that bad. I don't even know if my submission came through (it was already past the deadline when I hit the button), but I will totally finish this one, because I surprisingly liked these fishy fellas.
I usually work in b/w at first and then add the colour; as you can see, this stupid 'colour' was added in the last minute (literally), so it's not as fabulous as it needed to be to represent the story (it is July tale, by the way - read it, please).
Not hoping to be chosen as the best contestant, obviously, but whatever.

Cooler Master has added a new case to their CM Storm lineup. The "Trooper" will be the fourth variant in this lineup, the first to support XL-ATX mainboards. The features are quiet interesting, but the most noticeable one is the ultra-strong carrying handle – which supports up to 95lbs. I had a positive experience when reviewing the CM Storm Enforcer, hopefully the Trooper can bring us similar results. Whatever you do make sure you don't call it the Storm Trooper, we wouldn't want George Lucas hunting us down. Oh crap.. better make this quick, I think I hear them coming!

Joshua Astorian sent me a private email with links to his portfolio and linkedin account. I liked his portfolio and he had recommendations on linkedin.
We started talking in google talk, I described work to him in details. He said that it would be finished in 2 days and that he would start working right away updating me every hour, but asked to pay in advance. I did so tranferring him 57 via Western Union. He collected the money ($75) within 30minutes of transfer. But I've never heard back from him. Then I googled his name and found out that he ripped off other people in the same manner in 2009, 2011 and most recently 2012.
I've contacted the people that left him good recommendations on linkedin, trying to understand whether this is the same person. Apparently one individual left Joshua Astorian a good recommendation even though he knew that Joshua is a fraudster.
Below are excerpts of my conversation with Joshua where he promises to do the work. He also says that he is reliable as per linkedin:
Joshua: are you ok with paying it in advance? that would make a huge difference as I could use the cash immediately
15:40 i always request payment in advance as it really helps to have cash on hand to take care of my family while i'm working
15:41 www.linkedin.com/pub/joshua-astorian/11/740/476 my linkedin account with recent employer recommendations if you have trust issues lol
Joshua: mm, i suppose not. though, in fear of sounding like a broken record, i could really use the cash immediately. the fee is more substantial but if you could send it immediately, i could head up to the location, pick up the payment, as well as diapers at the same place (my fiance just told me we're down to 3) it would just be a huge weight off of my mind of today sorry, this is not how i normally work lol its just been a really slow month
Joshua: oh alright. well i'll be updating you as i progress, somethng like every hour or two

THE MEDIA BUSINESS; For Music Industry, U.S. Is Only the Tip Of a Piracy Iceberg
Published: September 26, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
In Europe, the volume of file sharing is lower than in the United States, but only because the Internet has not spread as far. Jupiter Research, the market research firm, estimates that 32 percent of the 160 million Europeans with Internet access, or 51 million people, engage in file sharing. (Over 60 million Americans have KaZaA on their computers and other file-swapping programs may add another few million to the total.)
There are differences from country to country, according to Mark Mulligan, a senior analyst at Jupiter in London. People in Spain and Italy, he said, tend to be more avid file swappers than northern Europeans, perhaps because other forms of piracy are also more common there.
In Europe, Mr. Mulligan said, file sharing appears to be a main driver of growth in the broadband market. And in contrast to the situation in the United States, where the threat of lawsuits has scared Internet providers from dealing with file sharing services, providers here are cautiously receptive.
Joltid, a Swedish start-up company founded by the software designer who created KaZaA, said it had signed deals with three Internet service providers to use its PeerCache software. It enables providers to store popular material, like the latest Britney Spears tune, in a cache on their networks.
For the user, that makes downloading songs faster. For the provider, it cuts costs by reducing the data traffic on its network.
Niklas Zennstrom, the company's founder, said he showed the system to engineers at America Online, but they did not sign up. ''I guess they thought it was not a politically good move to make a deal with us,'' he said.
Mr. Zennstrom will not identify his customers. His one publicly disclosed client, the Internet service provider Wanadoo, said it had tested PeerCache in the Netherlands but pulled the plug in July. ''It was an experiment,'' said Caroline Ponsi, a spokeswoman for Wanadoo's parent, France Télécom.
Mr. Zennstrom, 37, knows all about the hazards of taking on the music industry. He was sued last year by the record labels for promoting KaZaA, and eventually sold the service for barely $500,000 to Sharman Networks, which is tucked away on the South Pacific island of Vanuatu.
Yet he remains defiant. The industry's lawsuits against teenagers, Mr. Zennstrom said, are a ''ridiculous act'' that would backfire if they were tried in Europe. He insisted his new PeerCache software poses no threat to copyrights -- a claim that provokes howls from music executives.
''In the U.S., people are more prone to sue each other,'' he said. ''In Scandinavia, the public would turn on the industry.''
In truth, the real impediment to legal action is not public opinion, but Europe's crazy quilt of laws. The European Union passed a uniform copyright protection law similar to that in the United States. Now, it is up for ratification in each member state -- a process that has bogged down.
Aside from a handful of cases against file sharers in Belgium and Denmark, the European authorities have yet to test these laws. Even when they do, they will face obstacles, said Thomas C. Vinje, an expert on copyright law at the firm of Morrison & Foerster in Brussels.
Germany's new law makes the downloading of songs illegal, but only if the user knows they are copyrighted. In Britain, proving illegal downloading is easier, but strict laws on data privacy could make it hard to force Internet service providers to hand over names.
Jay Berman, chairman of the record industry federation, said his group strongly supported the legal campaign in the United States. But he acknowledged that it might be a while before suits are filed in Europe. ''It's a question of timing,'' he said. ''The process has taken much longer than anyone anticipated.''
In the meantime, Mr. Berman said, the music industry is trying to educate consumers and Internet service providers in Europe and Asia about the corrosive effects of file sharing on the vitality of recorded music.
That case will be no easier to make in Berlin or Bombay than it is in Boston. Consider the crowded store hidden between the curry stands and photocopying shops at Trisakti University in Jakarta, Indonesia.
A sign outside advertises ''Recordings! Your Favorite Songs in Cassette & CD Finished in 3-7 days.'' Inside, four students peddle counterfeit CD's for 12,500 Indonesian rupiah each (about $1.50). A legitimate CD bought in Jakarta's business district would cost six times that.
For a little extra, customers can name 15 to 19 songs, and the shop will burn them on to a CD. Hip-hop and rhythm and blues are the most popular requests, and if the shop does not already have the song, no problem. One of the students, Ferbie, will download it from the Internet at his father's office.
''The customer is king,'' he said.

Mayhem # 1680684
About MeHello, I am Saykana Temples. Amature photography based on improvisation and inspiration is perhaps the simplest way of expressing what I do. Inspiration and instincts tend to drive most of my work, though I am developing more the skills for conceptualization. Though I have goals in other fields of photography other than people photography, this has become a particular interest.
My style tends to run along the lines of simplicity, and often a more natural look. My main goal is to further develop my style and I prefer to just try everything.
What I am hoping to gain from this site is finding models, follow/study/work with fellow photographers, and be inspired to try new experiences.
I am not here as a point of making income, but rather just to work on the art. I am quite willing to pay for the time of others.
I admit to not being a frequent artist, so scheduling ahead of time is favorable.

Too much wrong things:
- She was supposed to be there at the moment of check-in, to show us our accomodation and to introduce us in the building, but she wasn't there;
- We were just arrived, and we had to contact her to understand how to enter our apartment, so we had to use our italian phone to call her, burning all the phone credit before the call was finished;
- She didn't call us back to be sure we found the way to enter in the apartment;
- Last thing she managed to tell us was that the studio we booked was the one with the door opened. Obviously we didn't try all the closed doors, 'cause we found immediately a wide open door and we moved in there;
- The second night, a group of four people arrived at the building, telling us that we where at their place. We apologize to them and after a call to Elitsa we moved in the right studio she left open for us (and for "open" she meant "not locked", 'cause the door was in fact closed);
- This same night, we discovered another unlucky client of Elitsa found his washing machine broken, and before the arrival of the other four guys, he get into the studio before we moved there and put his stuff in this washing machine. We had to stay awake until the machine finished to wash.
In 3 days she never showed her face, even when we finally left the building. This is not the behaviour you can expect from a person renting apartments. I think this lady needs to learn some good manners, because people pay for her services, and if this is the kind of service you receive from her, then you payed too much.
Location is fine, it's a 20 minute walk to the centre or you could take the bus which stops almost next to the house. Room was great for what we paid, clean and big. There were two negative features which are the shower, that had a Tiny water fall and was difficult to get warm water. Most of the time when other people already went. Next, it was sooooo cold in the home, we had a little heating but that really wasn't enough. Next to that we had an okay stay here.
I'm really happy that I was in this place. The room was really perfect for me and my boyfriend and time which we spent there was magic. The contact with Elitsa is great, you can get every information which you need to come to this place. So if you are scared to go to diffrent country and find room, I can say that choose Elitsa's home is really great for you.
Kisses from Poland ;)
Be carefull to the cancellation polities!!! she used a very strict cancellation polities. I want to modify my reservation but she never answered me so I payed her flat but it was empty!! Very bad host!!! TO AVOID!!
Easy 10-15 minute walk to the spire, and central dublin. Train station around the corner, if walking isn't your thing. Friendly, helpful hosts in a secure, quiet neighborhood. Ireland is beautiful, word of advice, Bring an Umbrella!!

Bainbridge Island Museum of Art nominated by B.I.S.D. for the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA) Community Recognition Award. Visit the BIMA website.
We are excited to begin the 2016-17 school year. Here are a few things to know:
How to receive district notifications – BISD uses SchoolMessenger for all important email and voice notifications. To receive notifications, please make sure your contact information is accurate in Family Access Skyward. Skyward updates new information overnight, so you will be in the system and set to receive notifications starting the following day. Click here for a summary of ways you can access district and school information.
At the end of each school day, as many as 700 students load onto school buses in Woodward's back parking lot.
While students are enjoying the last carefree days of summer, the Bainbridge Island School District's custodial staff have been hard at work getting things in shape before the new school year begins.
The state of Washington released results from the 2015-16 Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA), and preliminary findings show that students at Bainbridge Island School District (BISD) continue to perform well-above the state average.
A midsummer reunion took place last week for students in Bill Covert's 4th-grade class from Wilkes Elementary. The students, who spent much of the spring researching, writing and creating presentations surrounding local Bainbridge Island History, came together to display their findings at the Bainbridge Historical Museum.
For a week in July, rockets launched from the playfield of Captain Charles Wilkes Elementary School and boats raced in wading pools. What was causing all the hullabaloo?
Bainbridge High School superstars show off their business chops at the national conference in Atlanta, Ga.

Levine, a National Merit Commended Student, will take a gap year before going to Scripps on a Presidential Scholarship. Mather will spend a year pursuing work as an actor in New York City before heading to college.
The school district nominated the museum for the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA) award in recognition of the museum's educational focus and opportunities for district students, teachers and school art docents. BIMA received a plaque from the district during the June 16 school board meeting.
Schools must achieve at least 95 percent participation on state tests to be eligible for the award; in the seven-year-history of the award, all Bainbridge Island School District schools have been winners.

Food stamp cuts already take toll on Erie's poor
Sharon Brown hasn't been to a food pantry in months.
But when federal funding for food stamps was recently reduced, the 58-year-old Erie woman gravitated back to Erie City Mission's Family Care Center food bank.
"I'm here because I need it," she said Thursday from the pantry, 719 French St., as she filled her large red shopping bag with cans of soup and spaghetti sauce, crackers and carrots, and some apples. "Less food stamp money is certainly going to hurt me. Can't even imagine what it will do for people with children."
The Nov. 1 cuts in food stamps have already begun to affect the more than 56,000 Erie County residents enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
One in five people across the county are on food stamps, the highest local percentage in more than 20 years.
Nearly 1.8 million Pennsylvanians saw a 5.4 percent cut in food assistance Nov. 1.
"It's a really bad climate," said Margie Olszewski, social service administrator at St. Martin Center, 1701 Parade St. The nonprofit's food pantry served 17,000 people in 2012.
The number of people seeking food at the center's pantry has spiked this month, Olszewski said.
She described a 30-year-old Erie man, married with three children, who came to the pantry needing food last week for the first time since 2012 because of the impact the Nov. 1 food stamp cuts made.
Food assistance was reduced nearly $520 a year for a five-person household, according to the state Department of Public Welfare.
The man works as a home-care health aide, and his wife at a fast-food restaurant. They both work part-time, Olszewski said.
"These folks, like so many others, are well-intentioned, and would love to have full-time employment so they can care for their family," Olszewski added.
The Nov. 1 cut is the result of an expiring provision in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that in 2009 temporarily aided the food stamps program in the wake of the recession.
More than 47 million people in the United States currently receive food stamps.
"We eat less at home because (of the food stamp cut)," said Kathy Quevedo, 43, a single mother with a 16-year-old son.
The Erie woman has been on food stamps since she was laid off from a laborer job in July.
Quevedo was at the City Mission food pantry last week, and brought home crackers and peanut butter, bananas, a box of macaroni and cheese, and some shampoo.
Rob Brown was laid off three months ago from his job as a grinder at a local foundry.
The 43-year-old, who is divorced and lives alone, turned to food stamps to get by.
"I'll now have to budget (my food stamps) differently," said the Erie resident, who now works part-time as a deliveryman. "I'll see what I can get at food banks first and then try to figure it out from there."
One-person households in Pennsylvania will see food stamp benefits decrease $132 annually. Two-person households will see cuts of $260 a year, while three-person households will experience a reduction of $348, according to the state's Department of Public Welfare.
Erie-area food banks and pantries, already stretched to meet rising demand, are trying to pick up the slack caused by the recent food stamp cuts.
"I see numbers, as in people, and the numbers say things are getting worse," said Butch McKinley, assistant manager at the City Mission's food pantry. The pantry has seen a 20 percent increase in patrons this year compared to 2012.
"I've never seen the desperation as bad as it is now," McKinley added. "A week or so ago, a woman was crying at the front desk because we had no diapers for her kids. She left in a panic before I could help. People coming here are now begging. They're saying, 'I need more, please give me more.'"

"RE: D7K lens comparing and setting question."
The sharpening setting in the picture control is a software setting that affects the output file, regardless of the lens used. The sharpness of the lens, when testing, can be ascribed to so many factors, unless you really control for variables. But, given your quick test the results aren't surprising. Generally, super zooms lenses like the SIgma 18-200 are not as sharp as something with less range. Why the 24-120 wasn't as sharp is beyond me, but as it is an unfamiliar lens to you, that may have had something to do with it. If you are going to do a quick test, I suggest that you use a tripod, are remote release or delayed shutter release and shoot at f/8 at a variety of focal lengths on each lens. That should not take too long and you may find that a good lens at 50mm is not as good as the others elsewhere.For me, if I were going on a trip with just one lens, I would take a superzoom to have maximum flexibility. My preference for the D7000 would be the new Nikon 18-300 or the Tamron 18-270 VD PZD.Mickhttp://www.mickklassphoto.comorVisit my nikonians gallery
