MASSENA - The Massena Town Council voted unanimously this week to advertise the sale of 4.2 acres of riverfront property along the north side of Old River Road.
Supervisor Joseph D. Gray made the motion to begin a two-week advertising campaign in local media outlets, including the Watertown Daily Times, the Daily Courier-Observer and the website NorthCountyNow.com, beginning at the start of January.
The parcel was previously owned by the New York Power Authority, which deeded it to the town as part of its 2003 relicensing agreement.
The town council voted 5-0 at a meeting in late October to put four and a half acres of land on Old River Road out for bid. Town officials have announced they are starting the bidding at $200,000.
Mr. Gray said at least four parties have expressed interest in making offers on the property; however, the council is moving ahead with the bidding for fairness.
We dont even need to advertise. We just want to do it fairness for other people who have expressed interested in the site, councilman Charles Chuck Raiti said.
Ed Kaneb Jr., a property owner on the south side of Old River Road, attended the meeting to express his concerns on the bidding process.
Mr. Kaneb previously said he would like the homeowners on Old River Road to be able to make the first offer, due to the proximity of their homes to the property.
We have docks down there; weve mowed the grass, Mr. Kaneb said. Itd be fair to offer the land to the people who cared for it.
Mr. Kaneb asked thre board this week whether he and other Old River Road homeowners could make an offer to the town board. Is there anything to prevent the town board from accepting offers? he asked.
The council told him there wasnt. Were not talking business so much as offers. Make us an offer, and well start negotiating, Mr. Gray said.
Councilman Robert Cunningham expressed concern that the advertisement might be misleading. He noted the property is on a steep hill, which might make it difficult to build on.
Its sounds really beautiful, until you get out there and see it, Mr. Cunningham said. (The ad) makes it sound like I can build on it.
Mr. Raiti said Town Attorney Eric J. Gustafson had looked at and approved the ad. He also said Mr. Gustafson has prepared a document outlining the appropriate uses for the site, which interested buyers would have to read and be required to sign.

As State Cuts Aid, a Scramble to Get Benefits for Homeless
July 9, 2010
Illinois' governor announced drastic cuts to social services last week. So agencies are scrambling to link up needy people with more reliable help. As states cut back, one federal program has been a backstop for the poor and disabled for decades. A team in Chicago is trying to lock in that assistance for the city's most vulnerable – homeless people with mental illness. But actually getting them the help just might take a law degree.
Thousands of homeless people in Chicago are eligible to get $674 every month from the feds. Theoretically, that's enough to get into housing, buy food, get a bus pass. It's called Supplemental Security Income, or SSI. Since the 1970s it's helped keep people with disabilities out of utter destitution. And yet, most of Chicago's homeless don't collect the money.
PARSONS: The application process is cumbersome. It's very complicated.
Lisa Parsons is an attorney with Health and Disability Advocates. She says homeless people don't just live in the margins physically, they also fall through the cracks of official record-keeping. They have no address to get letters from the Social Security Administration and they have scanty medical records.
PARSONS: Because they don't have access to medical care, they often have undocumented conditions, which makes it very difficult to establish a record which shows you're disabled. I mean it's really why so many clients are on the street and not getting the benefits they need.
And if there's one thing you need to get help from the U.S. government, it's a paper trail. That's why a lawyer like Parsons isn't working on policy or lawsuits, she works full time helping homeless people navigate the bureaucracy. Last year her team reached about 240 people, getting benefits for almost 90.
Parsons works in tandem with social worker Anne Leto. Today, Leto tags along with a couple of outreach workers – Eric Swiecke and Mary Esler of the organization, Thresholds. Their first job is to find people … many of whom would rather not be found.
LETO: We are going to see a gentlemen who's been … he's been outside for like 8 years, is that right?
SWIECKE: Yeah something like that.
LETO: And he's living under a bridge. Uh, what area would you say?
SWIECKE: Kinda like the north end of Bridgeport.
The guy's name is Jesse … or maybe Alejandro. It's not totally clear. Mary Esler says he's forgotten his social security number – which as far as the government is concerned, means he's dropped off the earth.
ESLER: We don't know who he really is. He doesn't know who he really is. It's like he doesn't exist.
SPITZER: Yeah, this is kind of this interesting little overgrown space that's got this really serpentine highway network that's kind of all going around it. But it's a little no-man's-land here in the neighborhood.
SWIECKE: Right now it's not too bad under here, but during the winter it's a horrible place.
Eric Swiecke says last winter, construction workers found Jesse almost totally buried in snow, unable or unwilling to get free. They dug him out. Today it's warm, and Jesse is reclining on a mattress under the overpass. His space is outfitted with a portable radio and stacks of trash. A five-gallon bucket with a toilet seat sits off a ways. Traffic rumbles by on I-55, just a couple feet above his head.
LETO: So I know that you and I talked, I think was it last January or something about trying to get your social security benefits started. And I know its been kind of difficult just because of trying to find your social security number.
MATA: Old man Daley had the youth summer program? I had to use my social security there. They got a record. This Daley, he got it in the basement somewhere.
The outreach team often has to reconstruct a person's life in documents, from foster care, schools, hospitals – it's like building a whole legal case. But Jesse's memory is pretty erratic. The one thing he recalls clearly is his prison number – maybe the team's best hope to track down his identity and get him some help.
LETO: What's it been like for you out here?
MATA: It's like 150 years ago. It's like the same way, which is, you gotta hunt.
Years of living like a hunter-gatherer have taken their toll on Jesse. Anne Leto takes clinical notes about his disorientation, scars from head trauma, his self-neglect – it's all evidence. To get SSI, people have to prove they're disabled and not, say, lazy … or simply addicts. SSI used to cover people with substance abuse disorder. But that changed in 1996 -- to disastrous effect, says attorney Lisa Parsons.
PARSONS: Many of them lost their benefits. Of course when you lose your benefits, you lose your housing. And also when you lose your benefits, you lose your access to medical coverage. And so their conditions deteriorated, and many people became homeless.
Mental illness often goes hand-in-hand with drugs and alcohol. So people have to show the illness is primary, that they'd still be disabled even if they got clean. Advocates say that's a tall order for a lawyer, let alone a mentally impaired homeless person.
BROWN: I'd applied twice, and I was denied both times. I really didn't understand, they didn't give you any particular reason. They just said that it was their determination that I was not disabled.
This is Vallejo Brown. She spent much of the last 10 years homeless, addicted to crack, dealing with schizophrenia and PTSD. Then, at a church in 2008, she met Lisa Parsons.
BROWN: She saw something. That if you just take care of the fundamentals: having a income, having a roof over a person's head. You know those changes – it's not everybody, but the majority. They don't want to be down a hole that they can't get out of, because no one is saying here, grab my hand.
Vallejo Brown now takes meds to quiet the voices in her head. She's been sober for 9 months. She hasn't been this stable in decades.
BROWN: This is the dining room, actually. And this is the living room, so we kind of split it off so it kind of looks like two separate rooms. And I have to show you this.
Brown lives in a small Rogers Park apartment. The day we talk is her one-year anniversary there. She barely affords it, splitting rent with the steady girlfriend she met in a treatment program. But it's a home, and a source of dignity.
BROWN: I look forward to going to the mailbox now and actually having a bill with my name on it. You know, a lot of people say oh, man, it's another bill. But when you haven't had bills, I have not had bills, I haven't had my own apartment since '89. I feel secure that I have keys to my place. I feel worthy now.
With less state and local money to go around, it gets tougher for people like Brown to prove they're worthy. It takes documents, persistence, and in some cases, a savvy lawyer.

Founding member and former president of the Midwives Alliance of North America and author of Spiritual Midwivery, Gaskin offers encouragement and practical advice in her upbeat and informative book on natural childbirth. Since the mid-1970s, Gaskin and the midwives in her practice on a Summertown, Tenn., commune known as "The Farm," have attended over 2,200 natural births. Gaskin, who learned the rudiments of her gentle birthing technique from the Mayans in Guatemala, has helped bring attention to the method's remarkably low rate of morbidity and medical intervention. Couples considering natural childbirth will get inspirational coaxing from more than a dozen first-person narratives shared by the author's clients. Gaskin decries what she sees as Western medicine's focus on pain during birth, arguing that natural birthing can not only be euphoric and blissful but also orgasmic (a survey of 150 natural birthing women "found thirty-two who reported experiencing at least one orgasmic birth"). The second half of Gaskin's book deals with the practical side of natural birthing, including how to avoid standard medical interventions such as epidurals, episiotomies and even prenatal amniocentesis that may be unnecessary, even dangerous, to mother or child. While this may not be the definitive guide to natural childbirth, it is a comfortable and supportive read for women who want to trust their bodies to do what comes naturally.
Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Using history as her guide, nationally recognized midwife Gaskin explores what she hopes will be a renaissance in natural childbirth, something that she's been advocating since the mid-1970s. By focusing on how women of ancient civilizations and other modern peoples give birth, Gaskin puts our own hypersensitivities in perspective, uncovering a beautiful, sometimes orgasmic experience rather than a dreadful, painful one. Sure, pain is part of childbirth, but preparing for the pain in a realistic rather than sentimental way--whether giving birth at home or in a hospital--can be the key to a woman's ability to deal with it naturally. Within the pages of personal anecdotes, some touching, some startling, from Gaskin's patients and colleagues, every woman is sure to find something to relate to, whether or not she chooses to have a medicine-free labor. The helpful back matter features a glossary, a detailed resource list including advocacy groups and Web sites, and a bibliography that includes periodicals, rounding out an extremely comprehensive and up-to-date guide on the topic.

ELK RIVER, Minn. -- Two Elk River families emptied their savings, took out loans and even second jobs to adopt children from Ethiopia, but now, have lost tens of thousands of dollars after their adoption agency announced bankruptcy last month.
Christian World Adoption, based in North Carolina, suddenly closed its doors in early February, citing Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
On its' website, CWA wrote in part "child care costs in Ethiopia despite slower adoptions was a major drain on finances."
"It was really sad, and very unexpected and a huge shock," said Katie Vick, of Elk River. She and her husband Ryan had long dreamed of adding a third child to their family through international adoption.
The Vicks say after a year of paperwork, and payments exceeding $20,000, their money is gone.
"We pretty much had to start from scratch," said Ryan Vick. "We found out they were probably applying the money to a family that was further ahead in the process."
The Vicks say the loss impacts two other families at their church, Central Lutheran in Elk River, including Bjorn and Esther Dixon, who also wanted to add a third child to their family.
"All these children who don't have the basic needs met, that don't have proper healthcare, proper nutrition, who live an institution, the question wasn't why should we adopt, it was, why not? ," said Esther Dixon, who estimates she and her husband lost more than $20,000 as well.
"We were both working second jobs just trying to make it happen, and then we just realized it's gone, went up in smoke," she said.
CWA says today international adoption agencies face a "perfect storm" of circumstances that has made it difficult and impossible to continue.
"Many adoption agencies have closed their doors in recent years. Russia's recent ban on adoptions to Americans, the U.S. State Department's decision not to open adoptions from Cambodia, vastly longer adoption wait times in China, and longer adoption times and fewer referrals in Ethiopia have all had an adverse effect on CWA. UNICEF has waged an unrelenting campaign against international adoption for many years," the organization said on its' website.
Ryan Vick is calling for more transparency and accountability in the international adoption process, and hopes the international adoption standards set by the Hague Convention are reexamined. The Vick family already hit a roadblock when trying to adopt from Haiti two years ago, losing a $1,200 payment to their agency when Haiti began the process of becoming Hague accredited. They started over when they learned the wait for a Haitian child would stretch up to eight years, looking to Ethiopia instead.
"There are a lot of loving families who want to adopt. If we can just bring awareness that there is challenges and red tape and things that need to looked at in the international process to make things easier," said Ryan Vick.
BothKatie Vick andEsther Dixon started blogs to help raise the money lost and begin the adoption process again.
"Esther and I felt like while we didn't necessarily know where the money would come from, God would supply the way forward," said Bjorn Dixon, a pastor affiliated with Central Lutheran. "And we felt a renewed sense of our call to adopt."
"It's been a journey, and will be so worth it in the end," said Katie Vick.
A documentary called "Stuck" highlighting challenges of international adoption will be shown at the Southdale Mall AMC theater on April 23.
Advocates behind the documentaryalso started apetition to reduce the delays of international adoption.

What Republicans DO NOT Want You To Know
Jimmy Carter designed a "very" progressive piece of legislation that was dynamic and far reaching.
The Mental Health Systems Act was primarily designed to assist the American public and our citizens who were/are suffering from serious to severe mental health illnesses.
Unfortunately, Ronald Reagan felt otherwise:
"The Mental Health Systems Act had hardly become law when its provisions were rendered moot. The inauguration of Ronald Reagan in January 1981 led to an immediate reversal of policy. In the summer of 1981 the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act became law. Under its provisions, the federal government provided block grants to the states for mental health services and substance abuse, although at levels of about 75 to 80 percent of what they would have received under the Mental Health Systems Act. The states had considerable leeway in expending their allocations. With a few exceptions—notably, the patients' bill of rights—the Mental Health Systems and CMHC Acts were repealed, thus diminishing the direct role of the federal government in mental health (Public Law 1981). The transfer and decentralization of authority merely exacerbated the existing tensions, as federal support was reduced at precisely the same time that the states were faced with social and economic problems that increased their fiscal burdens."

By all accounts, January is the slowest month on the baseball calendar. It's the month that follows the hustle and bustle of the player acquisition crunch and the month prior to spring training with the backdrop of warm, picturesque conditions in Florida and Arizona.
True, some notable names are still dangling on the open market, notably slugging first baseman Prince Fielder and oldies but still goodies Roy Oswalt and Hiroki Kuroda, two righthanded pitchers who could potentially ply their trades for the Red Sox, providing the price is right. For the most part January in baseball circles is a quiet period for the front office, a time to reflect on the ball club that's by and large been assembled while quietly making one or two low-risk moves with an eye toward building depth at the minor-league level.
With that as the backdrop, now seems as good a time as any to take stock of Ben Cherington's first offseason as Boston's general manager. For those lamenting that the BoSox did not make a "major splash" in free agency, let's turn the page back to the winter of 2003, when a young executive named Theo Epstein assumed the title as the lead in the baseball operations department.
Knowing that the Sox already had a strong core of established stars in place that included Pedro Martinez, Normar Garciaparra, Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon, Epstein opted to play things close to the vest and acquire players who may not have been household names, but would help form a more balanced team.
Remember when the acquisitions of David Ortiz, Bill Mueller, Todd Walker and Kevin Millar barely created a ripple on the transaction wire? Those players, combined with the group already in place, helped launch arguably the most successful era in Boston baseball history, one capped with two World Series titles in 2004 and again in 2007.
We harken back to Epstein's first offseason because it seems Cherington has taken a page out of his predecessor's playbook. The team's ignominious September 2011 collapse aside, the Red Sox outfit that Cherington now oversees is one flush with upper echelon players such as Adrian Gonzalez, Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester, etc.
From Cherington's vantage point there was no need to throw money and years at the feet of lefty C.J. Wilson, even if one of Boston's biggest needs was starting pitching. Tweaking the roster would serve just fine with signings such as backup catcher Kelly Shoppach in accord with the master plan the front office had in mind.
The additions of closer Andrew Bailey and setup man Mark Melancon has the potential of making Sox fans forget about Jonathan Papelbon and Daniel Bard, assuming the fireball righty joins the starting rotation behind Lester, Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz.
"The comeback of Buchholz [from a back injury that KO'd him for most of 2011] will be huge," noted a top minor league scout (who shall go unnamed here) before adding, "Time will tell with Bailey and Melancon on the back end."
On the subject of Melancon, a onetime Yankee farmhand who spent the past two seasons pitching for a bottom-feeding Houston club, the scout threw up a caution flag. "The one thing you have to look at is the pitchers (or players) changing leagues. The American League is very tough to come into after spending most of your service time (in the NL)."
Providing one important variable, the addition of Nick Punto as a utility sort should provide an upgrade over the departed Jed Lowrie. Naturally the cause for concern has to do with Punto's injury history.
"He's got to be healthy," the scout stated.
As far as offseasons go, this one has been a relatively quiet one for Cherington, one that's eerily similar to when Epstein stepped into the big chair.
The same scout was also asked to opine about Chris Iannetta's move from the Rockies to the Angels via trade. From his perspective, the St. Raphael Academy alumnus stands to benefit immensely under the tutelage/guiding hand of Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia, an ex-big league catcher himself.
"I think it's a very good move for Iannetta heading to LAA," said the scout. "What Mike
Scioscia did for (Mike) Napoli, he's really going to help this kid."
Calling all local baseball enthusiasts. The PawSox' annual wintertime festival, i.e. the 35th annual Hot Stove party, takes place tonight inside the friendly walls of McCoy Stadium. The longstanding event, which serves as a chief reminder that Opening Day is not that far off, runs from 6-9 p.m. and is free to the public. Fans will also have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the upcoming season.
Joining manager Arnie Beyeler to sign autographs/pose for pictures are pitchers Brandon Duckworth and Alex Wilson along with catcher Luis Exposito. All three suited up for Pawtucket during the club's division-winning 2011 season.
The "newbie" of the quartet is outfielder Alex Hassan, whose opportunity to start the season in Triple A grew tenfold with recent news that Ryan Kalish underwent shoulder surgery that could delay his 2012 debut until a month or two into the season.
A native of Milton, Mass. – also the hometown of reliever Rich Hill – Hassan spent all of last season in Double-A Portland where he was named to the Eastern League's midseason all-star team. Lauded by Baseball America as the organization's top hitter based on strike-zone discipline, Hassan ranked third in the Eastern League in on-base percentage, his .404 mark due in large part to the 76 walks he drew, good for fourth best.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Carmen Tarleton held a press conference at Boston'sBrigham and Women's Hospital Wednesdaywhere doctors performed her face transplant to reveal her new face.
She was attacked by her estranged husband with industrial strength lye. Thetoxic chemical literally melted her face away.
Facial transplant procedures are very rare, buthave advanced tremendously in the past decade.
Dr. Daniel Alam of theCleveland Clinicand his teamperformed one of the first facial transplant surgeries on Charla Nash. She nearly died while being attacked by a chimpanze in 2009.
Dr. Alam says, "She was missing her eyes, hernose, her mid-face, her lips, her mouth, the entire front of her face was gone."
She had a large hole in the center of her face and was in a coma for 6 weeks.
Her face was radically improved after a 20-hour triple transplant surgery. She is now able to venture out in public again, not worrying if her face will frighten people.
However, some physicians remain skeptical about whether these procedures are warranted. They are not life-saving, but life-changing. But Dr. Alam suggests that in many cases they are the only shot these patients have for a normal life.
Dr. Alam says, "I always tell people that you can never understand what it is like living without a face, and so these patients then take these risky procedures."
Dr. Alam is working to make these procedures more accesible for patients like Charla Nash and Carmen Tarleton, but he admits that we have a long way to go.
"The goal one day would be that no matter where you are if you had this injury if it becomes a standard of care that you would be able to get that care. We are not there yet, we are still in this sorta experimental phase," adds Dr. Alam.

Saved from the trash bin, dozens of wine corks used to collect dust inside a giant bowl in her parents living room for years, Michelle E. Oullette said.
At least until Ms. Oullette, a vendor at the annual Victorian Faire held Friday and Saturday, came up with a better idea.
On Saturday at the Jefferson County Historical Society, Ms. Oullette sold a miscellany of key chains that were created by combining those corks with leftover jewelry shed stashed away in a drawer over the years. Priced at $5 apiece, the key chains with glitzy beads showcased little medallions with hearts, high-heeled shoes and butterflies.
They had a wine tasting here Friday night, and I made them give me the corks for her hobby, said the industrious 45-year-old from Henderson.
Originality was a characteristic shared by the vendors, who explained how they invested hours of work to make the creations they had for sale.
Filled with soil and plants, clay pottery on sale was shaped dexterously by the hands of Kari Z. Robertson, 52, a former art teacher in the Carthage Central School District. Her inspiration for the pottery, made in a studio at her Rutland Center home, usually starts with a pencil, paper and a brain flowing with creative energy.
I wake up in the morning and draw sometimes it can be doodling, the artist said. All of my pottery is original.
As an example, Ms. Robertson pointed to a large, multi-layered pot that held a handful of plants. The curvy piece was made using leftover clay scraps from a different project, she said, and it had to be fired in a kiln multiple times at a temperature of about 2,000 degrees.
When I taught art, I used to always tell my students to pay attention to the scrap, she said. I wanted a very convoluted shape for this piece. Art on walls is beautiful, but I think its nice to create something that can be used whether its coffee or plants.
Wooden picture frames with old advertisements for films, cigarettes and Coca-Cola were sold by Edward F. Martelle, who has been a vendor at the fair for five years. In 2002, the Henderson man designed and built a solar kiln outside his barn, which he uses to dry wooden boards before theyre cut into picture frames.
The 300-square-foot kiln captures the suns rays through its ceiling made of picture glass; its walls are covered with black tar paper.
Ive had it get up to 135 degrees in there, the 66-year-old said.Oak takes about six months to dry, but with pine I can do it in 30 days.
Event sponsors included the Northern New York Community Foundation, Slack Chemical Co. of Carthage, Walker Associates and Purcell Construction.

Fresh1025 for the $1 shipping will not work for me :(
I am having the same problem it took $10 off but is charging me $7.99 for shipping. :(
I worked for me… did you use all capital letters?
Yay! Code worked fine for me. 3 large candles and 3 little hand sanitizers for $26 plus tax, shipped. Don't forget to go through ebates!
Thanks for the reminder about using Ebates.
Same problem here. When my order was only $ 26.00 it gave me $ 1.00 shipping but of course did not take off the $ 10.00. after adding more to my shopping cart to bring the total to $ 33.00, $ 10.00 gave off but shipping changed to $ 7.99.
I realized to get both promotions, I needed to have a minimum of $35 in my shopping cart BEFORE I used the coupon code. That way after I used the code, $10 would come off my total and $5.99 would come off the shipping. It worked for me when my original total was $35.50. It then deducted $10 AND $5.99 for shipping leaving me with a total $26.50 ($25.50 for merchandise and $1.00 shipping).
Just called Customer Serice & your total need to be $ 25. or more after the $ 10. comes off.

My humble beginnings as
The Challah Fairy
started when the kids were young. Together with becoming a stay-at-home mom came spare time to cook and bake.
There is nothing nicer than having fresh homemade challah waiting on the Shabbat table. As it takes almost the same amount of time, it never occurred to me to bake one or two challot, but rather the basic recipe which makes six standard size challahs. And so....almost every week, I began my preparations for Shabbos with challah baking. But what to do with all the extra challahs? On Friday afternoons I would take the extra challahs and deliver them to my friends. One of my dear friends, Connie (yes....that's her real name), would return from her mailbox, with her mail in one hand and fresh challah in the other. Her phone calls were always the same, "Ooooo......The Challah Fairy was here!"
Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
When I began baking professionally, The Challah Fairy was officially born. The name felt so right and appropriate. I haven't looked back. In the first years I baked all day Thursday and then delivered challah and cake to private homes in Monsey, Teaneck, Englewood, New York City and Westchester. As deliveries are done late at night and left with doormen and unlocked cars, it was obvious that during the night a fairy must have appeared to leave shabbat goodies.
From the kitchen, I quickly moved to baking in the garage and from there to a small and charming boutique baking facility in New City, New York. Once I moved to New City and received rabbinical supervision from Rabbi Zushe Blech, I began selling to supermarkets, schools and caterers. As children with allergies have special dietary needs, I decided to accommodate and became a nut free facility.
Challah Fairy challahs and cakes are now sold in 20 supermarkets and are unique to the challah industry.
We recently moved the business to a larger facility which is part of a strip mall in one of the busiest areas of New City. We will be opening a cholov yisroel (kosher dairy) cafe shortly, where one can enjoy light breakfast and lunch and the best coffee and ambiance in town. We will have Wifi, TV news and the days newspapers for your enjoyment.
We are curre ntly open five days a week and stay open until two hours before Shabbos. During the winter, we will stay open until one hour before Shabbos.
Our leftover challahs are picked up every Monday by a volunteer from Kosher Troops (for information please visit
), they are then frozen, vacuum sealed and shipped to our "Kosher Troops" in Iraq and Afghanistan. This gives me great pleasure!
In August of 2009, I was interviewed by Linda Lombroso of The Rocklan d Journal News. A mere ten days before Rosh Hashanah the article appeared on the front page of the Life and Style Section of the Rockland and Westchester papers. When I arrived at work that Friday morning, people who had traveled from all over Westchester and Rockland were waiting to purchase challah. The rest is history.
I love doing things for others but never in my wildest imagination did I envision spreading my fairy wings to as many homes as I do today.

I think that I will be forever amazed and disheartened by the continuing perception of the poor as products of their own actions. Many are the product of challenges that run the gamut from personal choice, social & economic community resources, and educational and income opportunities .. .Or the lack of.
The Government needs to stop providing "aide" in the form of mortgages, loans and tax breaks (all relatively useless to the poor and homeless) and start providing homes, food and services. The current system primarily serves banks, bureaucrats, and politicians. We are the richest country in the world. There should be no involuntary homelessness - period.
People deserve support. Our government is there to help people and provide the highest quality life possible to all the citizens. Furthermore, it is important the these social services exist as they enable, on the whole, our society to be more productive. Education, health care, and much more are simple human rights.
It's only fair that we look out for the less privelaged. We seem to be blinded by the richesse lifestyle or mediocre lifestyle even, that we remain oblivious to the real problems in society. The government should spend money on useful things as mentioned above, rather than create wars/kill civilians in different countries..
The us gov needs to help poor people live with rights and a good society so they can live and live right even fought Obama makes really good decisions and I know he will help a lot so help the poor in the USA . Go for it USA .
We need to help the poor out because what if you were the "poor" person. God forbid that but try to put yourself in that persons shoes. Not every one is born in a good family. Just because u are born in one doesnt mean that u cant help out the ones who arent born in a good family/ environment. Half the kids in the bad parts of the world are dying. We need to step up our game and try to help. The poor people are also humans they also have dreams of getting a higher education and living life the way we all do.
We spend so much money on some other ridiculous things that we forget that they are other people that are sleeping on a bench or under a bridge. Space exploration receives enough money to get half of the people in need some help or a shelter to provide them some kind of a place where they can call it home.
Without my dads medicare I wouldn't be able to get my insulin I would die. Though I think there should be more regulations so stupid people do not abuse it. Like drug testing and making sure their getting things to support living not I phones. That's my opinion. Thank you
Our Vote counted and we've done our part going out to polls, believing in the United States Of America, that is part of this whole "America We Stand" so why shouldn't we be supported , we the people stood in line to vote for campaign leaders so be there for people. There are so many Americans that have worked hard for our United States to have kept this country so beautiful and let us not forget the people when their in need and hardship. Support them and look around our country you governors of or support system and do the right thing for our people.
We are spending billions on a war that we shouldn't be in. Why can't we poor some money into helping the disabled, poor and elderly. It's time we took care of our own people. We put a system in place to do this, but have cut so much of it's funding that it's now become usless.
I absolutely believe that the elderly, children, and the disabled should receive government assistance. These people are not physically capable of taking care of themselves or providing for themselves. However, I cannot say how many times I have witnessed the abuse of these funds by the people receiving them. If people are well enough to volunteer, they are well enough to find a job. The job they find may not be glamorous, but it is a start. If that is what it takes to get them out of poverty then they should take responsibility for themselves. I have seen billboards for large companies that are trying to find workers. The problem being that the people who apply cannot pass the drug tests requred to receive a job. This is not the fault of the government, it is that of the individual who made the choice to take the drugs. It is the role of the government to provide for the people who cannot provide for themselves, not to continue to support those who choose not to. By giving these people more money we are not helping them to get out of poverty. Why look for another job when you are getting free money? We should not cut back on these funds, but we absolutely should not increase them. We need to be much more strict in the monitoring of the money we are handing out. Drug tests should be administered to each person who is receiving the money, maybe that will provide them with some initiative to get a job.
Creates more dependency on the rich, allowing the poor to do less and less now they know they don't need to work. The majority of the poor serve as parasites to democracy, allowing for politicians to feed more and more welfare to the least productive sector of society. As a result, Why can't the most productive sector receive tax breaks for all the jobs they helped create through their "greedy"actions?
Some people go into poverty because they messed up in life. Drug abuse, alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy, gambling, etc. I'm doing research on this for a school essay, and more than half the people who are in poverty now are in poverty because of something stupid they did. Hence, I don't think government should provide any more support for people in poverty. What they have now is enough. No more, no less.
"For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: if anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10
If the poor want to have a better life, they should work harder to advanced their position in life. A society doesn't run on everyone having the same standard of living. It isn't the governments job to steal from the rich, who have worked hard for their wealth, and give to those unwilling to work.
We already have welfare and social services, why do we need to increase it? The people who receive welfare and other social services are typically free from government aid after two years. This shows us that it works! There is no logical reason to change something that is not broken.
The further we move away from the natural order of survival of the fittest, the faster we will implode and turn to anarchy.
I hate to say it, but life's not fair. If you can't figure out how to bring your own worth to the table, then what's the point.
If a family or community chooses to help some one of less fortune, then that is great. I'm all for it. But this burden shouldn't be put onto other people just because the government says so.
I'm disgusted by how people are these days.
Why do we have to give are hard EARNED money to the people we all know can get a job, and pay for things themselves. Instead of living off the government all their lives! People take advantage of the social services all the time. And I do not think that it's right. We are just wasting our (tax) money on people who can take care of themselves instead of us taking care/helping them!
Why should the goverment give our hard earned tax money to those who chose to live that way? I mean I would like for my money to go into paying the military. Not lazy people. Who spend their money on drugs and such. The goverment is supose to protect us.. Not wast our money.
By giving out so much welfare to people, we are telling our country that everyone is equal no matter how hard you work. Now if you are unable or unfit to work due to actual legit reasons, then absolutely take welfare but if you are healthy and able, you shouldn't receive money for doing nothing.
There are 12,800,800 Americans on welfare. That's 4.1% of the united states population. People are quitting their jobs for welfare. Similarly , the government has only $10,766,435,519,250.78 that goes to the social services and the working class. The social services gets $1300.00 of that . Now that leaves us with have $10766435044750.78 left. Now ask me again should the united staes increase social services for the poor

By Kyle Almond, CNN
Egypt's presidential race is headed for a runoff, but the two remaining candidates present voters with a serious dilemma, according to some analysts.
Sonya Farid, writing for Al Arabiya, said the two candidates who reached the runoff — Mohamed Morsi and Ahmed Shafik — are the most non-revolutionary of all the candidates and represent "two typically tyrannical institutions: the first (Morsi) being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the second (Shafik) a senior official of the former regime."
Shafik was the last prime minister of former President Hosni Mubarak, who was forced out by protests in February 2011. Shafik received 5.5 million of the country's 23 million votes, about 200,000 votes behind first-place finisher Morsi, who leads the Freedom and Justice Party, the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Voters must now choose between "a return to the old corrupt tyrannical regime or a complete transformation into a seemingly unfavorable scenario that would give the (Muslim) Brotherhood a trifecta of both parliamentary houses and the presidency," wrote Adel Iskandar, a columnist for the Egypt Independent.
What happened to the more moderate candidates in the race? A poll published earlier this month by the Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies showed secular candidate Amre Moussa leading moderate Islamist Abdelmonen Abol Fotoh, and the two were the only ones to take part in a televised debate. Yet Abol Fotoh finished fourth and Moussa fifth.
"Everything about Egypt's revolution has been unexpected, and the first-round results in the country's first-ever competitive presidential election are no different," said Omar Ashour, director of Middle East Studies at the University of Exeter and a visiting scholar at the Brookings Institution in Doha, Qatar.
Ashour, writing for Project Syndicate, says Egypt's voters "overwhelmingly chose the revolution over the old regime … but their failure to unite on a single platform directly benefited Shafiq."
Meanwhile, he said, Shafiq received strong support from Coptic Christians "because he was widely perceived as a bulwark against Islamism."
Rania Al Malky, a Cairo-based columnist and the former chief editor of the Daily News Egypt, was shocked by how well Shafik fared.
"Egyptians have proven that they are still trapped in the anti-Islamist rhetoric of the Mubarak era," she said in the Cairo Review of Global Affairs, a quarterly journal at American University in Cairo. "These results have taken us back to square one when many may find themselves forced to plug their ears and noses to give their protest vote to the (Freedom and Justice Party), just like the old days.
"The fear of Islamists is so deeply entrenched in the Egyptian psyche that it has obliterated the memory of the martyrs who gave their lives during the 18-day uprising. In a way, the shocking support for Shafik betrays a level of ethical and moral bankruptcy that surpasses mere political illiteracy."
Morsi's support, on the other hand, was not as surprising considering the strength and organization of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"It is not merely that the Muslim Brotherhood is Egypt's 'best organized' group, as many commentators frequently note. It is the only organized group, with a nationwide hierarchy that can quickly transmit commands from its Cairo-based Guidance Office to its 600,000 members scattered throughout Egypt," wrote Eric Trager in The New Republic.
Trager, a Next Generation Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, says Morsi's runoff hopes appear favorable:
"While Shafik can count on support from Egyptian Christians and many of the rural clans that previously backed Mubarak's ruling party, Morsi is already drawing support from many non-Islamists who fear a return to the old regime more than a Brotherhood-dominated Egypt. Moreover, early reports indicate that, faced with the choice between the autocratic Shafik and theocratic Morsi, many voters will stay home — a decision that will bolster Morsi, since low turnouts benefit well-organized parties."
The runoff will take place June 16-17.
Since Mubarak's ouster, the country has been led by its military.
Many Egyptians have protested the military leadership, saying it has delayed the transition to civilian rule. But the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has promised to hand over power.
First Post! Only post.
You can bet that the Koch brothers have a hand in it!
What an interesting conspiracy that the Koch brothers might be funding Shafiq's election! Well, Egypt's military is as conservative as the ideology of the Koch Bros.
Indeed the two candidates will polarise the country in the coming weeks ahead of the run-off, which would also pitch the old regime against its old adversary. For many Egyptians it is not an ideal choice. The young activists will not accept Shafiq, who get votes from mainly the rich and the Christians, fearful of an Islamist takeover and tired of upheavals. The Brotherhood seeks allies and has called for talks with those, who don't want turn the clock back.
..and Soros has got two hands in it, on the other side.
Kyle Almond states that "2/3 of the population of Bahrain are shiite". It seems that hehas already forgotten the ethics in journalism that perhaps he learned in whatever University he attended. I challenge Mr Almond to provide an atom of evidence from anywhere in this Universe that supports his notion that " 2/3 of the population of this tiny country are shiite" and that " .. demonstrators were asking for the current ruling family to step down". While I do NOT care who rules that tiny island, I do care about the turth and the whole truth to be presented at a website as reputable as CNN. here are the facts Mr. Almons. Most of the shiite live in timy villages in Bahrain (which as you know is not usually where the population density is in any country) and only a small group of the shiite led by a religious leader (Mr Salman) who was "educated"= brain washed in Qum (Iran) by Ayatollahs were asking for the current leaders to step down. This groups is currently losing support even from their own sympathizers because of the repeated acts of terrorism that they have committed against the local population and the asian workers (many of whom have been killed or mutilated).
If you need additonal facts for your future "articles", you may contact me at any time and I will be more than happy to assist you to maintain your ethics and integrity (do you know what these words mean?) in reporting.
There is nothing to substantiate the suggestion here that Morsi, or any of the other "moderate Islamists" who didn't reach the run-off, are reformists. Seeing the base of Shafiq as being just a minority group of reactionaries overlooks the fact that the "revolution" has not connected with most Egyptians in any election to date. The dynamics of continuity and change in Egypt will not be decided in any one vote, or any one person or group of persons. http://balasticman.blogspot.it/2012/05/presidential-delusion.html
Just what the world need, another Islamic theocracy. Egypt, Libya, probably Syria soon...all Irans in the making.
Arab Spring!!! Ha ha ha ha ha! Just wait! CNN this was what you wanted to see! Ha ha ha ha ha! Be careful of what you ask for! You just got it. The Muslim Brotherhood or a former Mubarak gov. official! Ha ha ha ha!!!!
So what makes you so joyful about this failure of democracy?
Democracy has always failed throughout history its expected to fail.
Right this down! In 5-10 yrs if not sooner Iraq will return to a doctorial government because none of the governments in the Middle East want the people to believe they can have control of their lives through the vote. Another thing, if Syria had oil we would have been bombing them just like we did Kaddafi! Unless there is an undiscovered oil field found in Syria you can bet there will be no weapons sent to help the Syrian rebels. The same thing for Egypt we didn't help them except through CNN, ABC, MSNBC and the media but not one gun or bullet was sacrifice for that nor any non-oil producing country. Afghanistan does have minerals (an estimated over 1trillion dollars) and the other distinction of being a camp for Bin Laden. The people that really tell the world leaders what to do don't see a high enough cost benefit to justify any resources going to a low reward rebellion! Democracy in this world is what someone allows you to believe you have.
These people are definitely between a rock and a hard place. Theocracy vs. Military. The protesters never had a chance. This is going to get worst for them either way. They have to go with Shafik. They may have negotiations open there.
You can thank obama and europe for libya
Egyptians and Arabs as well are incapable of democracy. They just need a competent non narcissistic strongman who knows when to step down. Sadat was a fine leader, but you know what happens to fine leaders in Egypt.
What makes you think they are incapabale of democracy? The Middle East has been occupied by the Turks and then by various European countries, primarily Britain and France, for much longer than they've been independent. Even after that alot of the leaders then and now are puppets of the US. They are assisted in staying in power for decades as long as they assist the US in strategic and economic matters. So the reason for all this messIf you don't help them they make you out to be an enemy, like Iran for example. Iran has never attacked the US yet the US constantly tries to hinder and sabotage them. Why? Because a bunch of protesters attacked the US embassy in Iran and took some people hostage. They were in revolution mode and have alot of pent up feelings against the US because the US helped bring down a democratically elected leader and helped install the Shah dictatorship. The US wasnt upset because of hostages they were upset because their poodle got taken down. The Iranians, have no beef with Americans and want a healthy relationship with them, they have issues with US policies which is justified. Once the US ends the policy of propping up dictators or leaders for American benefit over the benefit of the people of the actual country then they'red be alot less problems in the world.
Arab Spring – what a joke, it's a Muslim Caliphate.
That has always been what it is all about. Hopefully our ignorant world leaders will recognized this. That is what Bin Ladin was trying to achieve. Guess he won after all.
Egyptian rag head pukes get what they deserve – a choice between the devil or the deep blue sea.
My prediction: Shafik will win a close contest. The opposition will claim (probably rightly so) that the military tampered with the votes. People will take to the streets and camp out in Tahrir square. Riots will ensue, and the revolution will continue on.
What is WRONG with Arabs? They have a chance for true democracy and they want to lock themselves up with a religious dictatorship or a secular dictatorship?????? Staggering. Just Staggering.
True democracy has never ever worked why would it work now?
you talk about democracy but hate them choosing who they want to vote for?
It will be a dictatorship regardless. Muslims continue to take control of more of the world. Places like England are not too far behind. The US has a few years left, but likely before the next century gets here. It will be communism vs Islamist.
Communism by a landslide!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahaha
Why is it that the only country in the middle east that can get this whole freedom thing right is Israel???
Nations within the Islam Empire are incapable of coping with Democracy. All our wars in the Middle East are religious wars that can never be won or lost. These wars are like "old soldiers," they just fade away.
wait I'm confused, you want muslims to vote. Now that they're voting, you don't want them to choose who they're voting? it's like a rock and a hard place
first ,Egypt now is in a new era after the Hosni Moubarak regime, I disagree with the concept that shafik is belonging to the regime,I think he will frankly make achange in egypt .
Thank You
The given information is very effective
i will keep updated with the same
seo training in noida
They continue to state that such occurences are "unexpected", yet analysts have been predicting this scenario. Does it surprise anyone that the Muslim Brotherhood has the political organization to steal the elections? Does it surprise anyone that the "militaries" candidate made it to the runoff? Secular candidates continue to fail and are a minority in a nation of Islamists, but somehow the press lists these events as "suprising". They are to be expected.
Towel Heads is what Towel Heads do.
The people of Egypt just cant seem to catch a break...Autocratic or Theocratic...They seem to have missed DEMOCRATIC somewhere in there...You know FREEDOM FROM both thoes other very very heavey handed forms of Government...
I fear there Spring has turned to winter and Summer and Fall were stolen by the corrupt powers of the morons running for President...President what a joke..The next (LEADER) will be just that...The next dictator...I feel for the people of Egypt.....They have been around for thousands of years ..Yet somehow always end up with PHAROS
Sounds like the 2010 situation in Ukraine after sobering up from the hangover of Orange Revolution: corrupt, incompetent, populist-lying Yulia Timoshenko vs. corrupt, not so incompetent, but with criminal past and criminal ties Victor Yanukovich.
Egypt is at the same crossroads that my country Nigeria was in 1998. Many doubted the military would truely hand over to the civilians, and so many credible candidates refused to participate in the democratic process. Now they are caught up between choosing an Islamist and an Autocratic candidate. My advise is the Islamist would take them on a ride that would be participatory on the part of the civil populace while the regime man would continue from were Mubarak stopped. Therefore Egyptians should vote Morsi in as the President.

Our #6 nonprofit, Oxfam International is aimed to provide lasting solutions to the injustice of poverty. And addressing water problems is one of their strategies:
Oxfam helps negatively affected communities do the following:
Understand the root causes of the water problems they are facing and, if possible, protect themselves from dangers.
Network with other affected people so they can share coping strategies, join forces, and strengthen their abilities to bring about change.
Voice their concerns to governments, corporations, and individuals responsible for the development projects.
Educate key players about the negative impact the development projects are having on the local communities, and work together to find a solution that is safe and equitable for all.
(Read more about them at: http://www.oxfamamerica.org/issues/water/what-oxfam-is-doing)
Most experts are impressed with Oxfam's programs. Their programs have a global reach, are targeted based on need, and are focused on eliminating poverty.

Dade County
District 3 Commissioner Robert Goff resigned last Friday in order for him to
seek the State Representative District 1 seat that is currently held by Lookout
Mountain resident John Deffenbaugh.
In his
resignation letter Goff stated, "I wish to tell the people of District 3, the
people of Dade County and the other seated Commissioners, what a privilege it
has been to serve them, and to serve with them. I have never treated anyone
with any favor, regardless of their political preference or geographical
location in the County. I have fulfilled my one and only campaign promise, to
do the best job I can for the people of Dade County."
Goff added, "I
have been blessed to have the opportunity to serve in some of the most trying
times in our County's history. I have seen the best of people in the midst of
great hardship and will forever be grateful for what I have learned in these
times. May God bless my successor as he has blessed me, and may he or she work
with the other commissioners, and employees of Dade County to serve the people
to the best of their ability?"
Details of when
the election will be held to fill the vacated spot will be confirmed soon but
the election will probably coincide with the November elections.

The Standard Industrial Classification codes were developed by the President's Office of Management and Budget for use in organizing national economic data such as the Consumer Price Index and the Gross National Product. Since SIC codes cover the entire field of economic activities, many other groups and agencies have found the coding system useful. To reflect the changing structure of American industry, the codes are periodically revised. The latest revision occurred in 1987.
The SIC code is a four-digit code. The first digit defines the major business sector. These sectors include areas like agriculture, manufacturing, and retail trade. The second digit further defines the industry group, making identification more specific. The last two digits denote a facility's speciality within the sector and group.
For example, the SIC code for a gasoline service station is 5541. The first 5 stands for Retail Trade. The second 5 means "Automotive." The 41 specifies "Service Station."
The LLCHD uses the SIC codes assigned to businesses to better understand the kinds of businesses in our community. With this knowledge, we can tailor the service, information, and assistance we provide to better meet the specific needs of individuals businesses and business sectors. We can then provide educational opportunities and information pertinent to your operations.
A detailed description of all possible SIC codes has been published and is available in the reference section of most libraries. To make sure that we have the right SIC code for your business, simply ask the librarian for the "1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual." Although some businesses might have operations that are described by several SIC codes, find the code that comes closest to describing your business as a whole. Then write down the four-digit code.
The SIC code can be a useful tool for getting appropriate information about your specific kind of business. In addition, many reporting forms and permit applications require them. Learning your SIC code can help us serve you better.

Relationship Spats: Are Men Always Right?
men can't be wrongI'm sure you've been in a situation where your woman kept arguing even when she knew she was wrong. And, as the situation progressed and eventually turned into an argument, she still refused to back down and fess up to the fact that her logic was flawed. At this point, you know that if you don't take the blame for things, the state of affairs can only escalate to something worse.
Then why do you take the fall?
While you do so to avoid a potential argument, which is somewhat of a noble act, looking at the bigger picture clearly shows that you are only setting yourself up for a lifetime of being told that you don't know what you're talking about.
Assert yourself and stand your ground. Let her know that you disagree and that you're not going to have your opinion pushed aside. In the long run, she will only respect you more for it.
worth fighting forWhen deciding when you are going to let her think she is right, choose your battles wisely. One thing you can do is set a predetermined quota of times in which you will admit defeat and allow her to think she's right. For example, say that you will let her get away with it 10 times a year, so when the eleventh argument arises, make an example of it and lay down the law, so to speak.
The best way to go about it is to let her prevail over trivial things. A good example could be her telling you that you promised to take out the garbage and clear the dishwasher. If it can simply be forgotten after a few minutes anyways, why make something out of nothing?
Plus, if you don't roll over once in a while, then you can't expect her to ever back down, as she will resent you for always proving how wrong she is.
men and machismoMen are decision makers. I mean, you can't argue with thousands of years of human evolution. It's what we do. And, when it comes right down to it, women just aren't built to decide when and how things get done. It's not that they're less intelligent; it's just that they often let emotions get in the way of making clear-minded decisions.
On the flipside, you have to ensure that you are not letting emotions such as jealousy and anger determine the choices you make. Just as she shouldn't be allowed to start a fight because she's having a bad hair day, we shouldn't provoke our lady just because we don't like the way she looked at the waiter.
Before you accept a woman, make sure she isn't one of the following...
