Referee Dies While on Sidelines of Football Game
A popular referee in Palm Beach County died while on the sidelines of a high school football game Friday night.
73-year old Jerry Lohmann was officiating a game between Wellington Community High and Olympic Heights High in Boca Raton when he was spotted by the crowd running while holding his chest and then falling to the ground.
He was taken to the hospital, and later pronounced dead.
Lohmann is being remembered as someone who many athletes in the community knew, after serving as an umpire and ref for football and baseball games for more than 30 years. He was an accountant by trade, but his son, Brian Lohmann, says sports are a big part of the family.
Students and members of the community have been taking to social media to say their goodbyes to Lohmann.
As for the football game...it was cancelled before half time.
There will be a memorial service for Jerry on Wednesday in Belle Glade.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: In the mechanistic wheat growth model DEMETER, the time course of maximum saturated carboxylation rate (Vcmax) strongly influences the gas and energy exchange. Besides the direct effect on photosynthesis, a generic influence on stomatal aperture appears in the model due to the inclusion of photosynthesis in the calculation of the energy balance. Observed values of Vcmax were used in previous simulation studies. In this way a possible interaction between Vcmax and stomatal conductance (gs) was neglected. In the advanced model version of DEMETER, Vcmax is calculated using the simulated leaf nitrogen content. An experimental study was conducted at the Maricopa, Arizona, Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) site and in Bernburg (Germany) to determine declining Vcmax on seasonal and daily time scales. Vcmax was estimated from the initial slope of the response of observed assimilation (A) to the leaf internal CO2 concentration (Ci). The results showed: (i) a clearly visible seasonally declining Vcmax, and (ii) no clear evidence but a slight tendency for a diurnally declining Vcmax. The advanced model reflects more accurately the energy and gas exchange on a time basis of minutes to days. The short-term improvements and the more detailed knowledge about the long-term behavior of gs and Vcmax resulted in a more stable behavior of the macroscopic and long-term response; i.e., for the cumulative evapotranspiration.

Bernstein has 'designs' on success with bedding
August 3, 2001,
Atlanta — Sounding much like the cat who swallowed the canary — as in fact he just had, buying the Crown Crafts adult bedding business for just $8.5 million — Michael Bernstein sounded more confident and relaxed than he had in the past two years as he started making plans for his smaller, but profitable, new venture, Design Works Holding Co.
"I feel great and I'm raring to go. I haven't felt this good in two years," said an ebullient Bernstein, ceo of Design Works. "You know, I can now spend a full day on the business, and not have to worry about down-sizing or dealing with banks. No more distractions, no more craziness. Let me tell you what a joy that is. You don't know how much fun it is, to be able to just run the business. I'm like a kid in a candy store. I really feel years younger."
More importantly, perhaps, said Bernstein, the business is now making money. "I'm cutting costs wherever we can, and we're going to be profitable the very first month, right out of the box. We have very little debt, and it's very easily serviced. Whoever said that leverage is good, just shoot him."
But it wasn't an easy deal to get done, Bernstein acknowledged. "We've been working on this for months. It was a tough deal to get done. There was a lot of heavy lifting, a lot of parties involved. But all the people like Calvin Klein and Kitan (the Israeli company which produces the fabric for Royal Sateen products) were really great. They worked with us, were willing to go along with us, and stood by us. I'm really lucky and really proud of all those people we deal with."
For the time being, Bernstein's new business will continue to share space with his former company, Crown Crafts, now an infant and juvenile bedding producer. "At some point in the next 12 months, we'll find new headquarter space."
And Bernstein's new operation will keep Crown's former New York office, at 156 West 56th St., as well as the Calvin Klein Home showroom. "For the time being, we will show Royal Sateen and other products in a hotel for October market. For previews, we'll use the West 56th Street office. We still don't know exactly what kind of space we'll need in the future."
In addition, Bernstein's new operation keeps a Roxboro, NC, distribution center as well as a down-sized manufacturing operation, which employs about 30 of the new company's 200 workers.
Working side by side with Bernstein as president of the new Design Works operation, is Crown Crafts veteran Rudi Schmatz. "I can't even imagine what it would be like not to work with Rudi," said Bernstein.
Another Crown Crafts veteran, Marcia Brandwein, is heading up design for Royal Sateen and private-label products. Paul Schmidt is vp, national sales manager, while Steve Zaffos, vp, directs Calvin Klein Home sales. Dennis Cochran is cfo.
"Basically, we've down-sized the business, got out of most manufacturing and will focus on the product people want," said Bernstein. "We're more of a marketing than a manufacturing company, even though we will still have some manufacturing here. We're sourcing around the world, and we're contracting out some manufacturing. Probably 60 percent of what we do is imported, and 40 percent is produced domestically."
Any plans to take the new company public at some point? "Not in my lifetime," Bernstein grinned. "I can state that categorically. It's a lose-lose situation being public in this kind of environment. The market isn't going to value for what you're worth, and you're telling your competition everything about your business. No, thank you. Right now, we have the ideal business. We're a private company with great brands, great people, no manufacturing and very little debt. What more can I ask for?"

Yahoo! Updating, again!
Weather report reads shuffle and change!
A weather report on the Yahoo! blog says that Yahoo! is rolling out some changes to their crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms. So expect some changes in the next two weeks.
We are not seeing anything in the UK as yet but as soon as we do see any changes we will let you know.
It seems to me that Yahoo! is updating their aglo's a lot more regularly than we have seen in the past. I wonder if they are aiming for the same level of minty fresh indexing we are seeing from Google?

Theres like a black pump thing above my highbeam switch on the driver side floor, what is it???
From the '60s? It's a manual windshield washer pump.
Noo its a 74 Duster
I had a 1970 Duster new back in the day. That is a manual windshield washer pump believe it. Bob
'74 is close enough to the '60s. It's a washer pump, believe us!
funny... when i looked around.. the push type rubber washer pump seemed to be listed for models through the 74 model year... so if you have a 74.. you probably HAVE one.. .those were always neat..

Helps with my heart pain and palpitations
As of this review I am a 27 y/o, 5'4" 125lb female. I have had heart issues, namely arrhythmia since I was a child. Recently it has become worse, causing frequent pain and a feeling that my heart is going to beat out of my chest. I take this along with Hawthorn when I have palps or pain and it helps within minutes. I hope my review is helpful to someone. Peace and love to all of you.

Great for lower blood pressure, lowering heart rate, reducing anxiety, as a sleep aid. men and women can take it. My son takes it when his Tourette's tics get very bad just a few drops under the tongue mixed with a few drops of Wood Betony.The Wood Betony works wonderful in conjuction with the Motherwort and it also takes the sting and bad taste out of the Motherwort.So Put the Wood Betony under your tongue first ;)

I started using this for hot flashes. 3 droppers 2x day (mixed with orange juice) and my hot flashes have disappeared! Just like magic. I am thrilled. Before taking motherwort, I was having hot flashed every hour, all day long.

I could feel a big difference in my energy levels since I have started taking motherwort in the morning. A lot of energy during the whole day (I knew that it improves circulation but I did not expect such a difference!) I am taking it in combination with Royal Jelly from Now Foods. I experienced some trouble sleeping when I was taking the product 3 times daily, so I reduced the quantity.
This stuff works!

I'm using this product to help alleviate hot flashes due to menopause. It seems to work really well. The hot flashes have already started to lessen in intensity and duration, and this is only my 3rd week of using it. The only thing that was difficult for me to get used to was putting the Motherwort into something warm to drink. I tried to put it into warm water as the bottle suggested, but I didn't like the taste. I found it helpful to put it into my flavored coffee in the morning instead. Overall: Great product!
I take this 3 times each day

Mad Cowboy Interview 02: Dr. Pam Popper
(Part 02 of 02)
take it the ADA is not unlike the AMA in how they approach
differences of opinion?"
PP: "Well, the ADA has done some similar
things. A lot of people know about [Dr.]
who used
to be a Registered Dietician. She published
a bunch of articles about 'essential fatty
and talking
'stop eating dairy products,' and I'm not
sure of the content of all the articles, but
ADA revoked
RD status.
She turned around and sued them, it was settld
out-of-court. The settlement is sealed, but
it's my understanding
that she got several million dollar from
the ADA before it
went to trial.
So this is a organization very intent of
maintaining its stamp on certain issues,
and I of course
I come back to
this issue if you're taking all this money
from industry, you just can't have your membership
out there saying
things against the party line."
MS: "So, you decided to stick your neck
out because you thinks it's critical that
people are
aware of this
and be allowed to hear alternatives?"
PP: "Absolutely critical. That's why
if they actually hauled me out of the court
in handcuffs,
I was
willing to do it. I have to thank my family
for being supportive
of me. My parents said you should go.
MS: "Did you have any doubts that you'd
PP: "I have had no doubts from the beginning
that I would win, the only question would
be 'how long it
would take' and 'what would be put into it.'
One thing that I have found, and I'm really encouraged
about, is that the legislature in Ohio is very concerned
about this issue and a lot of legislators have spend
an enormous amount of time on this. I've very optimistic
the outcome.
I'm one of those people who thinks that it
all comes out okay. It always does. People
say to
me: "do you really
believe that?" I really do.
MS: "Sounds like that director in the movie "Shakesphere
in Love", where he says, "it always
works out."
PP: "I'm one of the happy kind of people.
Everything that's always happened to me has
always worked out
for the best, and comes out okay in the end."[go

MS: "Let's change gears a little bit.....
you're a marathon runner? How did this
PP: "I used be a ballet dancer when
I was younger. And so I was in great shape
a combination
of all of my terrible habits, which included
not being a
very good regular exerciser, I became sedentary
cookie-eater and coffee-drinker.
So I started doing some exercises when
I started changing my habits, but I wasn't
doing really
anything impressive.
A bunch of people that I knew where running
the New
York City Marathon every year.

of mine
that maybe I might like marathon running,
and I wasn't too terribly excited about
it, and
one of
them said: "well,
maybe you can't do it."
MS: [laughs] "Oh no... the wrong thing
to say to you...."
PP: [laughs] "I'd never run to the mailbox before.
I ended up agreeing with this thing, and then wondering: "what
have I gotten myself into?"
So, for the couple of months that I was running, I was
just doing it because I committed to doing this thing,
it's like if I have to crawl through the streets of New
York, I'm going to finish.
Then I fell in love with it, and I LOVE
running. It's been a couple of years since
I've done
a marathon, because of
I've been very busy with this legislative
thing, but
I still run almost every day for fitness.
My ideal run is
an hour. It's the perfect amount of time,
as it completely de-stresses me, get my
mind of
MS: "So that's how you burnout and
relax, basically you run."
PP: "That, and yoga. I do "Bikram" Yoga.
And I workout with trainers and do weight-training
a couple of times a week. So exercise has
become an real
part of my life; I do something aggressively
physical every day."
MS: "What do you generally enjoy for
PP: "I make a smoothie! In fact, Howard
had it when he was here. It has soy powder
in it, and
and green tea leaves, and ground up flax
seeds, brewer's yeast, and bananas, and
frozen berries,
and soy
milk. I make it in a blender and it has
500 calories, about
24 ounces. I make it for breakfast in the
morning and it's
very powerful food."
MS: "What do you usually have for
PP: "I have a great big salad, and
like today, I had some tofu chili that
had chickpeas
and vegetables
in it.
I love big salads, and for dinner, same
thing, big salad
and a side dish, like a vegan quiche or
soups, or rice and beans with some really
good salsa
on top.
MS: "I'm almost afraid to ask what
your favorite food endulgence is...."
PP: "I still like chocolate, so I'll
only do a vegan chocolate. I don't eat
that other
stuff any
fact, I know how to make a really good
candy for Easter or Christmas,
with vegan chocolate. The other thing that
I like, once and awhile, is coconut macaroons.
I have a
vegan recipe
for them and it's in my cookbook."[go
to top]
MS: "How did you meet or know of Howard?"
PP: "I started about a year and a
half ago doing a public series of lectures,
we bring
in somebody
on a national scale. We had Dr.
McDougall come.... and Howard was one of the people
we wanted
to come and speak.
Oh, I read his book. Because I follow
all the stuff going on legally in the food
and nutrition
he had been
my hero for a long time.
So, that's how I knew about him... I
thought: "I've
got to get this guy to come to Columbus." When
he was here, we had 250 people in that
room, and he talked
for a few hours, and not one person moved.
I mean, we're talking nobody moved ---
they were
with what he had to say."
MS: "Do you have a short list of
people who have most inspired you in
your life,
your work,
and what
you do?"
PP: ".... Howard's one. Dr. McDougall... in fact the
very first cookbook I bought was by Dr. McDougall. And
I liked it, so I started buying his books. And again, that's
when I was saying to myself every day: "why
doesn't everybody know this stuff?"

MS: "If you were able to pick, oh,
let's say five, dinner guests from the
past, present,
future, who'd
you have over for a meal?"
PP: "Omigosh, that would be so hard.
I think the five people that would be
fun to
have dinner
would be
Dean Ornish, John McDougall, Howard,
Neal Barnard, John Robbins... because
collectively I think we'd
change the
MS: "I don't want to be morbid,
but can you think of anyone from history?"
PP: "Benjamin Rush. Do you know
who he is?"
MS: "No..."
PP: "Dr. Benjamin
Rush was one of the framers of the
Constitution. He wanted to put "Health Freedom" into
the Bill of Rights. So I'd love to have
Benjamin Rush come and attend the Commerce
and Labor
Hearings on
the Dietetics
Issues here in Ohio."
MS: [laughs] "You might have to help
him in, y'know."
PP: [laughs] "He's the person from history to have
around and comment. What a prophetic thing back then! He
actually said we need to write this into the Constitution
like we have "religious liberty," because
if we don't, we're going to have a
small group of people who
get command and control of industry,
and that's going to be a bad thing
for the country."[go
to top]
MS: "Okay,
what if I give you a million dollars with no strings
PP: "I'd put it into my foundation. We'd be in every
school system in the country tomorrow morning."
MS: "Are you finding schools more receptive now?
PP: "No... you have to do what I call "guerilla
warfare." When people call me up and ask what do they
do, I tell them "guerilla warfare." First thing
you do is get one teacher who's your ally, who believes
in what you're doing, and gets knowledgable about it, and
starts using the material in his or her classroom. Then
that teacher helps get other teachers. And you reach a
point where you've got 50 or 60 teachers in the school
system that have an understanding of this and you can start
working on school system-wide cafeteria offerings and so
First of all, you've this whole issue of who's planning
the menu, and what's sound nutrition and what's not.
I was at one meeting where a dietician suggested that one
of the things we could do to improve the health of school
children is give 'em ice cream with "Splenda."
MS: "What's "Splenda?"
PP: "Artificial sweetner. Of course, I'm sure that
the makers of Splenda have contributed handsomely to the
ADA [American Dietetic Association]
MS: "Yeah, it's the equivalent of pouring
I'd imagine."
PP: "Right. So I think it's going to be awhile, and
you have the problem in terms of "who's the expert?" And
then you also have some issues as to the financial aspect
of this."
MS: "Follow the money."
PP: "The schools are very addicted to the money the
pop machines bring. And the other thing is that when the
Feds cut back the funding for school lunches several years
ago, what the school system told the food service people
to do was to devise a way to make the operation profitable.
How they did that was "a la carte" items that
the kids were willing to spend money on, that didn't have
to comply with any Federal Regulations. That's how the
pizza and all the other garbage got into the cafeteria.
We have to be careful, first of all, that we don't villify
these Food Service people, because they just did what they
were told. But, by the same token, we have to understand
the economics of the lunch program dictates that the junk
be sold at this time.
So, back to your question about "what would I do with
a million dollars," I'd be out making grants to the
school system so we can get this [expletive] out of here...
I'll help you out until we can figure how to do it differently."[go
to top]
MS: "What's big the biggest surprise or failure since
founding the Wellness Forum? Let me change that so surprise....
I've got a hunch that 'failure' isn't in your vocabulary."
PP: "I'm kind of like Thomas Edison when somebody
said to him: "aren't you discouraged? You've done
this 10,000 times and it still doesn't work." He said, "Nah....
I've had 10,000 opportunities to find something that doesn't
work, so I don't do that any more, and now I'm closer to
the solution."
For example, it took us a long time to figure out how to
find people to open centers in other cities. We've finally
done that. We did a lot of things that didn't work, but
every time we found out one that didn't work, we got closer
to one that did.
So, I can't really say that we've had failures.
First of all, I've been surprised at how quickly the human
body responds to good nutrition. I never get tired of watching
that happen, I never get tired of e-mails and people calling
me on the phone and telling me "Dr. Pam, you've changed
my life. I've got my life back." And I don't mean
that from an egotistical standpoint, I mean it because
I get joy out of people improving their lives. That has
continued to astound me, and I still have that child-like
wonder whenever somebody picks up the phone and calls.
I think the second thing, is how much our market has expanded,
and how much more receptive people are to our message.
Eight years ago I was really nagging people about the connection
between diet and disease. Today, everybody understands
it, now they just need to know what to do about it. That's
a whole different issue.
The other thing, too, is I guess I'm surprised at how well
this has all gone. I mean, we've had this legislative thing,
the battle with the Dietetics Department. And in spite
of all that, we are growing by leaps and bounds, and our
messages gets out to more people every day. I guess the
way I feel about it is that we must be doing something
right, because the universe is making all the planets line
up so we can do it bigger and better."
MS: "If you look back on it all, would you have done
anything differently? You know, hindsight being 20/20?"
PP: [laughs] "Oh, YEAH. [laughs again] You have probably
have heard this before: "if I'd know what I was getting
into, I never would have done this."
I think, I think the one thing that I really didn't have
a feel for, was how stressful it was going to be to go
to school full-time and build a company full-time. I did
this by myself in the beginning, and Howard knows this
because he was here, now I have the most incredible people
working with me, and it's a pleasure to be here every day.
In the beginning, I was the one packing the boxes and teaching
the classes. I had another associated, but between the
the two of us, that's all there was. And so, when finally
I got out of school and got my education out of the way,
somebody asked me "how did I feel?" and said "I
feel like I'm coming out of the abyss." I'm not exaggerating.
I spent years doing an entire week's worth of work on a
weekend. I'm was putting 40 hours into it on the weekend.
I think if I had really understood that in the beginning,
maybe I would have finished my education first. But it
all came out great in the end. I wouldn't trade where I
am today for anything."
MS: "It's probably hard for you to go to bed at night
and easy to get up in the morning."
PP: "I get up in the morning at four forty-five, I
bounce out of bed like I'm shot from a gun. And I love
every minute of the day! The only reason I look at a clock
is to make sure I'm not late, it's not because I'm counting
the hours until I'm finished. I think the big challenge
for me, and I've found ways to deal with it, is that it's
easy for me to to just keep working all the time and not
MS: "It sounds like you've got that mastered, with
the running and yoga."
PP: "The other things is that in the summertime, my
significant other has a house on Lake Erie, and we get
out of here on Friday afternoon and go up there for the
weekend. If I take things with me, it's for reading. I
don't take work to do..."
MS: "Books on nutrition, no doubt."
PP: [laughs] "... a couple days out on the boat, and
in the sun. It's nice. Helps a great deal, too."[go
to top]
MS: "Tell us about the future of the Wellness Forum."
PP: "We're going to have one of these Wellness Forums
in every city in the country, and then in every country.
I visualize a time when we'll have our conferences, when
we bring all our facilitators in, and we'll have 700,
800, 900 people that our teaching our classes. We're
are on
our way to getting that done.
As to the future of the Wellness Foundation, it will grow
along with the Wellness Forum, because that's where the
funding comes from. So the better the Wellness Forum
does, the better the Wellness Foundation does, because
have more resources to work with."[go
to top]
MS: "What do you think are the biggest threats
in this country and this planet to more people eating
and having good nutrition or diets?"
PP: "The biggest threat we have is the ignorance
of people."
MS: "This is the average person you're talking
PP: "I'm not talking about ignorance as a derrogatory
comment. I've said this for years... we've have got
to wake people up. And that's one of the reasons we
do things
the way we do at the Wellness Forum. We can't change
and legislate that people eat properly or legislate
that they
shouldn't take drugs that their medical doctors prescribe.
We have to educate them from the ground up to make
decisions differently.
The biggest problem that this presents is we have a
populace that doesn't read, it doesn't vote. People
don't pay
attention to issues that are so important to their
lives. We've got
to get people involved in the process. Because, politically,
how the American Medical Association and the medical
establishment and the dieticians in Ohio get control
of these kinds of
things, is that they do it while people aren't paying
attention. And I used to not pay attention."
MS: "Do you worry about companies like Nestle's
[the largest food company] , and Kraft, and these multi-national
PP: "If we educate enough people to make decisions
differently, they'll have to respond economically.
And we've already little hints of that with McDonald's
new requirements their chicken producers, and Kraft
is going to take the trans-fat out of their food because
they think people won't buy it."
MS: "So you're saying that the only reason corporations
run the show because we let them?"
PP: "We let them. And the only reason the doctors
are in control is because we let them. And the only
reason why all of this is going on is because we let
them. And
I'm almost on the verge of ranting about all this....
I'm downtown, all the time, talking with legislators
in our
state government buildings. These buildings should
be full of people who are concerned enough about what's
going on,
to come down here and scream and holler, and talk to
people. They're not. And that's very very disturbing,
and that's
how this whole situation got to the where it is.
And the way we'll undo it, and this is why the work
that Howard's doing is important, what I am doing is
is we just have to go out there. Everytime I'm in front
of a hundred people, two hundred, ten thousand, doesn't
matter, because those people are going to tell other
people, and we're going to build this critical mass
to the place
where so many people are educated, that these companies
and these governments can't get away with this stuff
any more."[go

Each time you buy approved foods, the EBT Card will deduct the amount from your account. You will need a secret Personal Identification Number (PIN) to use the card.
To apply for food stamps, visit your local Department of Social Services. Visit the VirginiaNavigator website and select "Departments of Social Services" and put in your zip code. To apply online, visit the Department of Social Services website.

No matter your income or background, you never have to go without a meal. Thanks to multiple community kitchens in the Jackson Purchase area, anyone who is hungry can eat a hot, homemade meal almost every day of the week.
Community Ministries Inc. is one of the area's community kitchens that offers lunch five days a week, Monday through Friday. Located at 1225 Broadway in Paducah, Community Ministries has been serving the public for over six years.
"We always try to have a protein or some kind of meat. We always try to have a fresh vegetable, fruit and dessert," said Sally Michelson, director of Community Ministries. "We try to give them a balanced meal, because usually that's the only balanced meal they will have that day."
Michelson said the kitchen averages about 300 people a day who receive a meal. The high attendance does not leave anyone empty-handed, though.
"We are more than blessed," Michelson said. "We might run out of what we're serving that day, but we always have more food we can get from the refrigerator or freezer to make them a nutritious meal."
At least 10 volunteers work in the kitchen each weekday with an average of 60-80 volunteers a week. Anyone age 14 or over is welcomed to volunteer at the kitchen.
"We're extremely grateful for our community for supporting us," Michelson said.
Community Ministries also has plans for a new warming and cooling center at the former Family Dollar store on 13th Street and Martin Luther King Drive.
"A lot of people who come to our kitchen are in need of that," Michelson said. "We will be a permanent center so they always know where they can go, and we will have volunteers helping with that, too. We're very excited about it."
Broadway United Methodist Church hosts a community kitchen each Sunday from noon to 1 p.m. at 701 Broadway in Paducah.
Serving since 1998, meals range from hot spaghetti to sub sandwiches to special meals for holidays. Teams of teen and adult volunteers from Grace Episcopal Church and First Presbyterian Church also help with the kitchen, rotating every few weeks.
About 100-150 hungry people come in each Sunday, and the kitchen keeps up with the demand.
"If we run low on what we're serving, we bring in more food and round up people to get more. We just have to adjust," said Assistant Minister John Sparks. "Kirchhoff's Bakery has been a blessing. Whatever bread they don't sell during the week, they give to us, so we have that to give to the people. We feel fortunate that we are able to host the kitchen here and provide outreach to the community."
If you are not in the Paducah area, Marcella's Kitchen in Draffenville also provides free lunch Monday through Friday at Marshall County's Lions Club.
With the help of volunteers in the community and local churches such as Mount Carmel and Briensburg United Methodist Church, food is never wasted.
"We thank the Lord every day we have enough food," said Grace Forte, board president of Marcella's Kitchen. "Sometimes it looks like we're getting low, but we have leftovers that (head cook) Marcella can turn into a completely different meal. She can make something from nothing. She's just amazing."
Like the others, Marcella's Kitchen is "open to anyone and everyone." The kitchen is working to make access to a free meal easier for the public.
"We do have some churches that use their buses to pick up people from the apartment complexes around town," Forte said. "It's one way to reach younger people and children, too, by going to those apartments. We worry about the kids. Since they aren't in school, we don't know if they're getting fed."
Marcella's Kitchen is grateful for the community's support.
"I'm so thankful for Marshall County that they could support Marcella's Kitchen, whether it's volunteering or monetary or food donations," Forte said. "We recently got $1,000 worth of meat. That will go a long way, especially with Marcella and the volunteers. It just seems endless, the giving this county does."

Former TPF3 contestant now singer Gilbert Gabiro is set to launch his first ever album dubbed Byakubera Byiza mid this year.
Byakubera byiza album features songs like Ubutsinzi and is being worked on by Narrow roads studio based in Kicukiro.
Speaking to Rwandashow.com, Gabiro devoured the plans in details and promised to tour the country to promote the album.
"Am working on my new album Byakubera byiza which will be launched mid this year, if nothing is changed," says singer Gabiro.
He added that, before the official launch, he will stage various concerts to promote music on the album country wide.
In December 2013, Gabiro signed contract with Narrow roads studio and producer Pacento to produce his songs.
Despite missing East Africa's finest music competition Tusker Project Fame, singer Gabiro embarked on using music skills acquired from the competition to build his music career.
The singer has already released various songs like Byakubera Byiza, Ubutsinzi and is slated to release another single soon featuring TBB crew.

This is just another project that Eddie did using recycled wood from pallets. It took about four pallets to use the material in this project; also, some screws and a few hinges. The extra large chair sits two comfortably and is about the size of a full size bed. This is a large project that took more than a day to complete, including painting and prepping the material . The garden lounge or day bed can be used propped up or it can fold down completely, as it has hinges. The result is a cool Eco-friendly garden lounge that is very sturdy and also heavy. We have already used it and we love it! Here are some pictures of it.
Hope you enjoyed this project,we are!

I went to boot up my mothers laptop up the other day and received the boot mgr missing, press ctrl alt delete to restart message.
After reading on this site, and a few others that I should be able to boot up with a system repair disc I attempted it. It allowed me to boot from disc, said windows is loading files, then proceeded to show my start up screen that normally comes up when windows is loaded and after that I get nothing but a black screen with the mouse showing.
I have no idea what else I can try, but I know with what the local repair shop wants to charge me just to diagnose that I'd be better off having her buy a new one. Any tips on how I might be able to fix this?
Might also add the recovery discs she made when she got it were apparently lost when she moved. I haven't been able to locate them.

text: I see a banner ad for the new website of my favourite camera store in Winnipeg, MB - Photo Central (www.darkroomcentral.ca - still missing product pics, but that's OK ). Haven't seen an announcement here or anything, but I'm quite excited to finally see them on APUG (they mentioned this at a local camera club meeting earlier this year). Great guys, very knowledgable, definitely worth supporting.

Ian and Bridget are such a fun couple! Ian is a Nurse at an ER in Baltimore and Bridget is a teacher. I had the pleasure of spending time with them during their Engagement session at Savage Mill where they also had their reception. The location is very important to them because they met by the dart boards at Ram's Head about four years ago and have been together since.
They got married at Our Lady of Chesapeake in Pasadena and one of Ian's groomsmen played guitar and sang them a song during the ceremony as a surprise! Their wedding party was so much fun and we spent a good part of the day chuckling together. I am so happy with how the silly photos turned out from the bridge! At one point I told them all to kiss and some of them proceeded to make out and be hysterical.
Favorite moment of the day was watching Bridget's grandmother dance! She was so adorable and Bridget's mom and she danced the night away! What an awesome couple with a great family! Congrats to you both and I can't wait for you to see the rest of the photos!
Thanks to my awesome second shooter Kyle Bergner and my assistant Ian for making the day even more fun and capturing some great images with me!

I have about 10 home video miniDVD's shot on Sony Handycam DVD camcorder. I have all the VIDEO_TS folders and would like to export/convert these into clips which represent "chapters" in each DVD so that I can a) provide a proper timestamp and b) add them to my media collection for better browsing of various clips.
I have two questions in this regard:
1. How do I make sure I keep as much quality in video and audio from the original. After all, these are all cherished memories like both my kids' births, their first birthdays, etc. I mean in terms of format (m4v, mp4, wmv, mpeg, etc.) as well as settings (frame rates, etc.)
2. Any recommendation of tools for Windows use?
Thanks in advance!

I can't answer your specific question, but may I ask why do you need a sawed-off shotgun? I've wondered why anyone needs or for what purpose would one use a sawed-off shotgun.
Hey I had a question for you guys
Say you wanted to get one of these
and turn it into this (legally)
How would this be registered? Would it be a Short bbl Shotgun or a AOW?
My best guess is that it would be an AOW. Is that right?
I can't answer your specific question, but may I ask why do you need a sawed-off shotgun? I've wondered why anyone needs or for what purpose would one use a sawed-off shotgun.
Good question. I wouldn't do that to a beautiful SxS though. They just don't make 'em much anymore. I'd do that to an over-under or singleshot.
How you convert the external hammers to internal ones is a different story.
Last edited by Revolver; 10-16-2006 at 05:53 PM.
aow because it has a pistol grip. do the pistol grip first so you dont have to worry about registering it has an sbs while the full stock is on with the short barrel.
loop holes kick ass.
I believe reconNinja is correct. What he means is if you cut the barrel first, to make a short-barreled shotgun (SBS), then you would have to register it a second time to "make" an any other weapon (AOW). The tax stamp for an SBS is $200; $5 for an AOW.
Whichever you choose, make sure you have the ATF-approved form in-hand BEFORE you do any alteration. You can download your Form 1 for free from here http://www.titleii.com/ . Do double-sided printing to have the Form 1 printed on one page vice two, or the ATF will reject it and you'll have to start over.
I forgot to ask: You do live in a state where these firearms are allowed, right?
Seriously, U need to contact the ATF directly and ask - just so U get it correct. U can't afford a mistake like this by getting bad advice online.
You CAN do it yourself. Fill out the Form 1, get fingerprinted, get a passport size photo, put it through whatever process your state requires. After you get done with the state, ship everything off to the ATF with a money order for $200. It's really pretty easy.
This link http://www.atf.treas.gov/pub/nfab/index.htm will take you to an information list of NFA items on the ATF web site. One is like an FAQ, with the phone number of the NFA processing facility in West VA at the bottom.
If you have any questions, I'll be glad to try and give you an answer. Use firstname.lastname@example.com. Good luck!

One could chronicle the film career of Peter and Bobby Farrelly
by listing their most disgusting moments, the scenes that would compel the most
hardened epicures of gross-out comedy to say, "I can't believe they did that."
That list would include Jeff Daniels prolonged encounter with a
broken toilet in Dumb and
Dumber (1994). Woody Harrelson
making a special arrangement with his landlady to cover the rent in Kingpin (1996). The "franks and beans" episode in There's
Something about Mary (1998). The
tissues and hand cream in Me,
Myself & Irene (2000). Even
Drew Barrymore getting conked on the head by a foul ball in Fever Pitch (2005) is
shocking. And
Their new film Hall
Pass, in which Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis star as a couple of horny
hubbies given a week-long reprieve from fidelity by their wives (Jenna Fischer
and Christina Applegate), continues in that tradition. There's one scene in
which a woman picked up in a bar is feeling a little under the weather and...Well,
let's just say fans of the Brothers won't be disappointed. For everyone else,
you've been warned.
But Hall Pass
also balances its outrageousness with a surprising sentimentality and conservatism.
If you cut out the poop gags, vagina jokes, exposed penises, masturbation
references, and arcane terminology ("fake chow," for example), what's left (if
anything) would be suitable viewing for a Sarah Palin rally.
So is their offensiveness really a smokescreen for family values?
Have they lost their subversive edge, their excremental vision, and become
comfortable with the bourgeois status quo? Maybe they will return to the comic
anarchy of their earliest films when they begin production on their dream
project, the ten-years-in-the-making The
Three Stooges. It promises to be a celebration of the moronic trio whose
TV syndicated shorts have regaled generations of pre-adolescents, inspiring
some, like the Farrellys, to aspire to their consummate puerility.
These are a few of the questions I discussed with the pair when I
had a chance to interview them during their promotional tour for Hall Pass.
Q: In your films you combine gross-out comedy with...What, you
don't like the term "gross-out comedy?"
PF: No, we don't.
Q: What term would you use?
PF: Masterpieces would be nice. But it diminishes what we do
to just call it gross-out comedy. Something
About Mary, the hair gel, to call it just gross-out comedy? We took a
long time, an hour and fifteen minutes, to set up where this great guy meets
this girl in high school, falls madly in love with her, things don't work out.
Seventeen years later he finally hooks up with her, it looks like it's going to
happen, and you open the door and he's got the thing in his hair. So it's more
than just the gross-out part. It's the situation. That's why it's wrong to just
call it gross-out.
Q: So let's say instead that you have this excretory humor...
BF: That's better. Yeah, we're not afraid to go for it.
We're not afraid of bodily functions.
Q: You seemed to have covered them all.
BF: There's always new ones.
PF: Had you heard of "fake chow" before? A friend of ours,
whom I will dub a cunning linguist, came up with that. When he explained it to
use we were like, well...
Q: So you combine this excretory comedy with romanticism.
How do you balance the tone?
BF: It's important that there's a sweet story. The gags
sometimes camouflage that. But at its heart the movie is about a couple of guys
who get the week off but when they come back at the end, they're better for it.
PF: It's a balancing act because we don't want the whole
thing to be absurd. We also don't want it to be syrupy sweet. We want it to be
both. A lot of it is just the timing. We don't really know how that's going to
work until we're in the editing room and start cutting.
Q: Ultimately your films are about family values, in a Hollywood sort of way.
BF: We don't purposely do that. In some ways it's not
Hollywood. In Dumb and
Dumber they don't get the girl. In Kingpin
he doesn't win the tournament. We do want you to walk out feeling good. But on
the other hand, at the start of this movie, we were both open to the idea of
both of them getting divorced. It occurred to us, let's see where it ends up. I
wanted to have a 70s style ending, where anything could happen. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
- they die at the end. The
Way We Were - they're not together in the end. We went in knowing that
one or both of these couple could divorce. Ultimately, after they made their
mistakes, paid their dues, got beaten up a bit, we felt they deserved to get
back together.
Q: It seems like it's the characters who succumb to
temptation who get beaten up.
PF: It does, doesn't it?
Q: That's a kind of traditional moral value. Do you guys
consider yourselves conservative?
PF: I would say I'm way liberal. I can't speak for him. We
don't really talk politics. I'm open to things. Live and let live. I'm for gay
BF: I'm on the liberal side too when it comes to comedy.
We'll try anything if we think it's funny. As far as politics are concerned, I
would classify myself as apolitical.
Q: But your films can be political. You often involve
disabled people, for example.
PF: Yeah at the beginning of the movie in the card game
there's a guy in a wheelchair - that's Danny Murphy. And then the guy who
punches out Jason Sudeikis, his name's Igor, he's the tallest man in North
America, and he has a lot of disabilities because of that. There was some story
on CNN about who he is and he said his dream was to be in a movie, so we called
him up and got him in.
We do it because we
have friends who are mentally or intellectually disabled. People we grew up
with. When we started writing scripts we started including them a little bit.
People at the studio said, "ah, you don't want them in a comedy." Well, why not?
It was part of our upbringing.
Q: Another thing I liked in the film is that a white guy
ends up having an African-American wife, and there's no comment on it.
PF: I love to do that. We love that no comment business. We
don't like to make a big deal of it. Like in There's
Something About Mary. You know, her father being black. When we were
casting that, we didn't write he was black, we didn't write either way. So we
thought, you wouldn't think a black guy who sounds like an inner city black guy
would be Mary's dad. So fuck it, let's do it. You like keeping the audience off
balance. Surprising them. That was a great example of it. No comment on it, but
it helped the scene a lot.
Q: There's also a homoerotic quality. Is every comedy that
comes out these days required to have a naked penis?
BF: Lately it's catching on. But I don't think there's ever
been one like the one in this film.
Q: It filled the frame, let's say. And there's also a
conversation about "would you have a seven minute blow job or seven minute kiss?"
Which is kind of a trick question.
BF: It is a tough one. But it's funny. When Dumb and Dumber came out one
guy at the studio called it homophobic. We were like, are you kidding me? It's
homoerotic. These guys are taking saunas together, sleeping in the same bed.
PF: They're in love with each other.
Q: Kind of like the Three Stooges. That movie seems like a
return to the wellspring of comedy that you draw from.
PF: That physical slapstick humor is still funny. They made
their movies in 1935 and we can still watch it and howl with laughter. Whereas
comedy from that time that relies on witty repartee and stuff, it changes. Like
Preston Sturges. It's hard for people to appreciate people like Preston Sturges
the way they appreciate the Stooges or W.C. Fields. It's harder for us to
appreciate the nonphysical comedy.
Q: So the film transfers the Stooges to the present day?
PF: Yeah. We've written three new episodes. And it's present
day, but they look the same, sound the same, dress the same, same sound
effects. It's a kids' movie
Q: Even with Cher playing a
hot nun?
BF: She's not committed yet. We were lucky to get Cher in the movie Stuck
On You. We just like her. She's a cool chick and we'd like to work with
her again.
PF: She's the only woman we've ever worked with who banged
both of us.
BF: At the same time.
PF: So we'd like to get back together again.

From what I have read the Toshiba HIR 1 is the best replacement bulb for the 9005 OEM, is that correct?
I also read that the H9 is a good replacement for the H11, is that correct?
I realize both bulbs need to be slightly modified, and that the H9 does burn a little hotter.
What would be a good choice in brands for the H9?
Any helpful comments and or ideas would be appreciated.

- Publisher's Summary
- The third edition of Ingrid Detter's authoritative work explores the changing legal context of modern warfare in light of events over the last decade. Ingrid Detter reviews the status of non-State actors, as individuals and groups become more prominent in international society. Covering post 9/11 events and the resulting changes in the ethos of war, the author analyses the role of military companies and examines what their legitimacy means for international society. The edition also discusses certain 'intrinsic' rules in the Law of War, such as rules giving individuals the right to be spared genocide, torture, slavery and apartheid and assure them basic democratic rights. The author questions the right of 'illegal' combatants to be treated as prisoners of war and suggests that a minimum standard must be afforded to all, whether captured dictators or detainees suspected of terrorism. In the modern world, the individual (the soldier, the civilian, the dictator, the terrorist or the pirate) can no longer behave as they wish. Further new topics include 'target killings', the 'right to protect' ('R2P', - claimed to be a new form of intervention), the use of unregulated weapons such as drones and robots, the war scenario in Outer Space and cyber crimes. There is also a discussion of new developments in the field of war crimes including severe criticism of the novel concept 'joint criminal enterprise' (JCE), which, in the opinion of the author, undermines the Rule of Law. This updated and expanded edition will be of use to statesmen, scholars and students of international relations and international law.

Massively Improve Muscle Gains Reading Nitric Oxide Reviews
The effect of increasing the amount of nitric oxide is extremely important for both bodybuilders and athletes. This is because an increase in the delivery of oxygen and important nutrients means that they will be able to exercise longer, regardless of what sport they indulge in. With so many pre-workout supplements available it is important to research and find which supplement is right for you. Not all supplements contain the same ingredients or achieve the same results. I recommend figuring out exactly what effects you are trying to achieve (as well as the side effects you are trying to avoid), before deciding on your nitric oxide supplement. Read all the nitric oxide reviews that are available to educate yourself on this important decision.
During times of physical activity, there is an increase in the blood flow redistribution to the muscle fibers and cardiac output. So the longer you exercise, the more your muscles become deprived of oxygen. This means that your body then starts producing more of lactic acid. This leads to an increase in fatigue to such a point that you would not be able to exercise any longer. But nitric oxide supplements prevent that from happening. The nitric oxide helps in reducing the build-up of nitric oxide during exercise. It also helps in extending the time limit until you reach the point of exhaustion. By speeding up the rate of delivery of oxygen to the fibers and muscles which are under stress, it helps people to increase their performance in sports. It has also been found to increase the glucose uptake by cells and the removal of ammonia which is usually generated by exercise.
The two main ingredients which are included in nitric oxide supplements are citrulline and arginine. These two help in improving the nitric oxide serum levels. Research has shown that arginine helps in increasing the level of exercise time until failure. So combine with a healthy diet, it can also improve the capacity of the blood vessels to carry blood. However, one of the most important effects of taking arginine is the stimulation of growth hormone production. Combined with exercise, it then helps to build up muscles.
However, the main concern regarding arginine is that there is always the possibility of overdose. Also, there is the area of uncertainty whether it would work or not. There are also some severe side effects such as headaches, diarrhea, and even severe asthma conditions. That is why citrulline is considered to be the better main ingredient in nitric oxide supplements. This is because it helps in performing the same job as arginine, if not better. The best part is that it does not include any stimulants or artificial colors.
So now it is pretty much clear as to why nitric oxide supplements are considered to be so popular amongst the athletes and bodybuilders. This supplement helps them to achieve their goal of exercising longer and also build up muscles. It also helps in delivering very important nutrients to the body which helps in improving the performance in sports.

Just sell it to a Beretta lover like me
I have owned this gun for over fifteen years. Since I have small hands and am getting older, working the slide is becoming almost impossible. The people I have spoken with have told me the slide is really tight on this weapon. Any suggestions, please. Thank you.
Just sell it to a Beretta lover like me
Define "really tight". How old is the gun and how often has it been shot? I have two Beretta 84BB's. I don't have any issues with the slides being too tight.
Age can and does play a part in it being difficult to operate a semi-auto. If it's to the point that it's basically useless to you, you might consider selling it, or trading it in on a good revolver.
If you do decide to trade it in to a gunshop, be prepared for them to offer you about 1/2 of what it's actually worth. And of course, if you see a revolver there that you like, chances are, they'll be asking more than it's actually worth.
If possible, ask a friend to work the slide on your Beretta and see what his opinion is. You didn't mention your age and if you have any medical issues such as arthritis.
If you do sell it, make sure that you get a decent price for it. Those .380's get a pretty good price anymore.
I had one myself, for about 21 yrs...used it for CCW qualification. Could never be accurate with it over 20 yds., and yes, the slide was always a @%#&^*. I let my wife shoot it, but the grip was a bit large for her, and , no, she couldn't rack the slide either. It was a nice firearm, but I traded it for a Ruger SR40, and never looked back. The wife likes and shoots the Ruger. Happy wife, happy life.
Those guns are highly desireable and sell for mucho dinero, I would list on vaguntrader or similar. Or trade it for revolver + cash.

David Bickley Construction & Installations have received 9 customer reviews.
Sophia Carrington 16th August 2016
"Dave came to my rescue when my initial builders let me down. I had my new kitchen sat in my living room in boxes after they failed to be available for the installation. I came across Dave on Trust a Trader and straight away i felt comfortable with him. i had a few quotes from a few different kitchen fitters, however after meeting them, i didn't feel happy trusting them or giving them keys to my home. From the outset i felt happy with Dave being in the flat whilst i was at work - which was really important to me. He squeezed fitting my kitchen around other commitments he had at and really came to my rescue. Dave's workmanship is outstanding, he doesn't cut any corners, is thorough and meticulous. He is a friendly, honest man with a keen eye for detail and I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone wanting a reliable, trustworthy builder. We wish we had met him before we had done the rest of the work in our flat. Thank you again Dave."
The reviewer found this trader while searching on TrustATrader.com
Mandy Hardingham 30th June 2016
"I would have no hesitation in recommending Dave. He helped me design, quoted for and fitted my new kitchen, which I am delighted with. I sometimes just stand there looking at it! He was friendly, punctual and positive from the outset. He seemed to understand what I needed, and encouraged me to say if I wanted to change anything, as he wanted me to be happy with the end result. He was very patient with me taking my time with decisions such as paint colour and tiles, and I didn't feel at all rushed. I am a perfectionist and so is Dave, but he is also efficient and tidy (unlike me). I had full confidence that he would do a good job. He also helped with a few extra little jobs in the house. Great!"

"David came to fit a dishwasher in our kitchen. It wasn't a simple job (involved taking cupboards away/carpentry, installing new plug sockets and awkward plumbing). He did a fantastic job and a lovely man. Turned up early and very clean-was tidier than when he got there! Many thanks David!"

"David has done more than one job for us. David's finishing is outstanding. If anything I think he under charges himself. Lovely guy."

An openly gay couple dancing in synagogue and a Punk Klezmar fan in Regent's Park are among the images of Britain's thriving Jewish community currently on show at the Jewish Museum in London. The collection of contemporary black and white photographs is by eminent photojournalist Judah Passow, a four-time recipient of World Press Photo awards for his coverage of conflict in the Middle East, and a former artist in residence at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Israel-born Passow lives in London but was raised and educated in New York and Boston. His richly diverse portrait of Judaism in Britain is the culmination of extensive travel and inquiry over several years.
Here Passow speaks to Independent.co.uk about his exhibition, No Place Like Home:
What was your initial motivation for creating the work?
Well, I've been living here for 30 years and most of my work has been abroad. I've never really taken any photographs of England. So, I decided to work on project that would be here. Thinking about what I would most like to do, I decided to take a look at the community, of which I am in fact a part, which is the British Jewish community. That was it.
Did you start with London because it is your home?
What I wanted to do was to produce an essay that would show, in photographs, what it means to be British and Jewish in the 21 century. What are our values? What is it that drives us, both as Jews and as Britons? These are tough things to bring out in photographs and I had to satisfy myself that I could do this. London was the laboratory to prove the concept.
Did you decide to shoot in black and white from the outset?
Oh absolutely. There was never a question of it being anything other than. Black and white is the classical language of photojournalism. I think it's a very intelligent language. There are nuances in black and white that I don't feel are found in colour. Other photographers might disagree with me, but photography is all about these kinds of arguments.
How did this project compare to your previous work as a photojournalist, where you might have been capturing a specific event and more obvious story? Was it a different kind of story taking in this case?
Yes, but it's still photojournalism. It doesn't require explosive drama out on a street. Photojournalism is a technique and a style; an interrogative approach and passionate and observant stance. There doesn't have to be gunfire out on the street. Photojournalism is a way of asking questions with a camera, which is why it works in this case.
Do you think that even though you've lived in Britain a long time, not being a native gives you different perspective on the British Jewish community?
It does. It's difficult to quantify what that difference in perspective is precisely. I think there are frames of reference, there are patterns of behaviour, there are social norms which are all part of your cultural DNA. I'm a product of the American culture, there's no getting away from that. The fact that I've worked here for 30 years doesn't alter the fact that a lot of who I am and what I am was shaped by the place where I grew up, which was not here. To that extent I am a little bit of an outsider, which allowed me to look at the community in which I'm living with a slightly different perspective. It has its journalistic advantages.
How have visitors responded to the exhibition (which opened last week) so far?
The response has been uniformly positive. The overwhelming reaction has been marvelling at the diversity within the community that the photographs capture. The response has been: "I never fully realised what being Jewish in Britain meant". People seem overwhelmed at the different ways different people around the country find to give expression to their Jewishness.
It does seem incredibly progressive. For example, the photograph of the gay couple dancing together in Synagogue.
Yeah, and the little girl blowing the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year's – the Shofar is typically a male preserve. Part of the secret, well it's not a secret, part of the reason for the historical durability of Britain's Jewish community is its ability to constantly re-examine, re-evaluate and reinvent itself. There's a real drive with the community, a kind of intellectual drive, to stay relevant to the times and demands of the larger community of which it's part. That's what this project captures.
