First Haircut Brings Shear Delight
"Come to New Jersey," my grandaughter said, "we're having a simcha!"
A wedding? A lottery win? She doesn't explain. Then I think, airfare $240, motel $220 and then there's expenses for my lovely wife -- hair, nails, Louie XVth gown. This will run me $962!
I ask a dozen probing questions about the nature of this simcha. Did she have another kid? Is the Mosiach coming for dinner? Is she getting a new husband? Has the bank decided to forgo her mortgage?
"No," she said.
So, why must I pawn my future to United Airlines, the Hilton Hotel Corporation and Macy's?
"What's going on that's worth deducting four digits from my three-digit bank balance?" I asked.
Well, this paragon of a granddaughter, who is as observant as the Gaon of Vilna before his arguments with the Baal Shem Tov, explained that her 3-year-old son is having his hair cut for the first time in his brief life. (So why can he miss three years and I'm in trouble with the wife after three weeks?)
"Big deal," I said, "I'm gonna shave tomorrow morning, but I don't expect you to disrupt your life so you can watch me lather up."
"No, no! It's his upfsherin," she said, "his first haircut."
It is an important event, my granddaughter said. "We don't cut his curly locks, just as we don't harvest the fruit trees until they are 3 years old."
An upfsherin, she said, is all about the unity of nature -- the kinship of man and the other creatures that thrive in God's world. Humanity and the sycamore tree both have their feet in the earth and their head in the sky. The tree produces fruit or seed while man produces deeds.
Even at the age of 3, the toddler begins his path to responsibility that culminates at bar mitzvah. This rosy, dimpled child, with curls that would revive Michelangelo to paint just one more cherub, is due for an upfsherin.
Next thing you know I'm sitting with a living room full of relatives in Passaic, N.J. In the middle of the room on a stool sits the honoree, Shimon Leib. (He'd look just like me if he was wrinkled around the eyes and mouth and the skin around his little neck was droopy and his hair was gray and absent on top and back of his head.) With the spotlight focused on his gilded face, this Jewish Tom Cruise of the 2020s behaves angelically.
Each relative steps up and cuts a lock. He chirps as I clip. It's not long before I realize not one of us is a professional barber. He was prettier before. But as my granddaughter would say, only on the outside; inside he's a 10.
As the dozen or so amateur barbers hack at his hair, my granddaughter -- proud but nervous -- watches from the corner. Those scissors are sharp, she thinks, and if he's going to enjoy a fruitful life, he'll need both ears to hear his teachers.
The floor is carpeted with blond ringlets and Shimon soon has a trendy, spiky look.
He's on his way, Sh'or Yoshuv Institute's Rabbi Aron Rothman told me. You might think of it as a pre-bar mitzvah warm-up. He's not exactly responsible for his ethical behavior, but you can no longer hope he'll turn off the bedroom light switch that someone left on Friday night.
Then the rabbi, who wisely only observed phase one, swung into action. He and the ex-cherub sat at the dining room table like Rabbi Akiva and one of his prize scholars. A large sheet of Hebrew letters sat before them. The rabbi coated the letter gimmel with honey and pointed.
"Say gimmel," he said.
"Gimmel," said Shimon as he touched the letter.
"Now lick your finger, Shimon," the rabbi said.
Shimon, who never needs a second invitation for a snack, obeyed and smiled. Many letters were learned, and much honey was smeared on his little face. May all his learning and his life be as sweet.

About This Book
"My years in the classroom and my visits to schools have taught me one lesson: Many students (and teachers) are intimidated by writing poems. I also learned that these writers feel more comfortable writing short poems. Which makes sense to me. So, in this book I crammed lots of suggestions for writing poems that can be as short as two lines. Sometimes less is more." - Paul B. Janeczko, author of How to Write Haiku

The Sharks entered this game looking a bit thin with a squad of only 14. A battle was undoubtedly in prospect against old foes Chorley Panthers and so it proved.
The game was nip and tuck throughout. Chorley took first blood with an unconverted try. However, in true Shevy style, the Sharks bounced back with a classy effort of their own which also went unconverted.
The half continued in the same vein with the Sharks eventually prevailing and managing to edge in front with another unconverted try to make it 4-8 at the break.
The second half saw the see-saw continue when Chorley seized on an interception opportunity producing the only converted try of the game to take a slender 10-8 lead.
For much of the rest of the game the Sharks were in the ascendency and it was surely only a matter of time before they got the telling score to clinch victory. So it proved when, despite calls from the sidelines to take the 2 points from a penalty the Sharks decided to roll the dice and scored from a well executed training ground move.
Victory and the spoils for the Sharks!
In truth we were not at our best in this game but this team has character and the knack of winning, ugly or otherwise. Woe betide any team that underestimates us!

Boundaries within the working area Use the boundary wire to demarcate areas inside the working area by creating islands around obstacles that can not withstand a collision, for example, flower beds and fountains. Run the cable out to the area, route it around the area to be demarcated and then back along the same route. If staples are used, the wire should be laid under the same staple on the return route. When the boundary wire to and from the island are close together, the mower can drive over the wire.
Obstacles that can withstand a collision, for example, trees or bushes higher than 15 cm, do not need to be demarcated by the boundary wire. Automower will turn when it collides with this type of obstacle. However, for the most gentle and silent operation, it is preferable to demarcate all fixed objects in and around the working area. Obstacles that slope slightly, for example, stones or large trees with raised roots, should be demarcated or removed. Automower can otherwise slide up onto this kind of obstacle causing the blades to be damaged.
Secondary areas It is recommended to create a secondary area when the working area is made up of two areas that are joined by a passage where the distance between the boundary wires is less than 60 cm. Run the boundary wire then around the secondary area so that it forms an island outside of the main area. Automower must be moved manually between the main and secondary areas. Use the MAN operating mode when Automower shall mow a secondary area. Instead of creating an island with the existing boundary wire, a secondary area generator can ideally be used. A secondary area generator can be purchased as an accessory. Contact your dealer for further information.
Main area
Secondary area
24 - English
Passages when mowing Long narrow passages and areas, narrower than 1.5 - 2 metres, should be avoided. When Automower mows there is a risk that it runs around in the passage or area for a too long a period. The lawn will then look flattened. Passages when searching for the charging station The distance between the boundary wires in a passage must be at least 3 metres in order for Automower to follow the boundary wire through the passage without the need of changing the mower's default settings. When the distance is less than 3 metres, there are two options available that permit Automower to run through the passage. 1. Install a guide wire. When the distance between the boundary wires is less than 3 metres, it is recommended to install a guide wire through the passage. For more information about the guide wire, see 3.8 Installation of the guide wire on page 32. Usually the installation of the guide wire is the best solution with narrow passages. The narrowest passage that Automower can run through with the help of a guide wire is 60 cm between the boundary wires. 2. Change the Corridor width setting (3-2-3). When the distance between the boundary wires in a narrow passage is more than 2 metres it is possible for Automower to run through the passage if a low value is set for the Corridor width (3-2-3) function (see page 54). However, a low value involves a large risk of tracks forming along the entire boundary wire. The transition between a large area and a passage should be, if possible, designed like a funnel, with rounded corners, to make it easier for Automower to enter the passage.
The boundary wire must be crossed on the path to and from an island.
English - 27
Laying the boundary wire in towards the charging station The boundary wire can be routed in several different ways in towards the charging station. The best alternative is to route the wire completely outside the charging station, see alternative 1. The wire can also be placed under the charging station plate as shown in alternative 2 in the illustration. However, the wire should not be placed outside alternative 2 because it can then be difficult for Automower to find the charging station.
When connecting to the charging station, the right end of the boundary wire should be guided into the right-hand hole and the cable's left end in the left-hand hole.
Joining the boundary wire If the boundary wire is not long enough and needs to be spliced: Use original solderless coupler. It is waterproof and gives a reliable electrical connection. To splice: Insert both cable ends in the coupler. Now press down the button on top of the connector fully. Use a pair of pliers or the like, as the button on the connector is difficult to press down by hand. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Twisted cables, or a screw terminal (chock-block), insulated with insulation tape is not a satisfactory splice. Soil moisture will cause the conductors to oxidise and after a while result in a broken circuit.
28 - English
3.5 Connecting the boundary wire
Connect the boundary wire to the charging station: 1. Lift up the cover on the charging station: Grip under the edge of the cover with both hands and pull straight out towards the sides. Now lift the cover straight up.
3012-268 3012-269
Slide in the ends of the boundary wire in the lowermost holes on the charging station and catch them in the uppermost holes. The right hand wire end should be inserted in the right hand hole, and the left hand wire end in the left hand hole.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The boundary wire must not be crossed when connecting to the charging station. Therefore the right hand wire end must be connected to the right hand connector on the charging station and vice versa.
32 - English
The route to a remote area is long or complicated. When Automower shall follow the boundary wire to or from a remote area and the route along the boundary wire to the area is long or complicated.
The boundary wire runs across a long slope (steeper than 10 %). When Automower follows the boundary wire across a slope (steeper than 10 %) the mower must compensate for the slope. The mower then follows the boundary wire at a slower speed. The risk of the mower running outside of the working area due to skidding increases.
The charging station is positioned on an island. When there is more than 4 metres between the charging station and the outer edge of the boundary wire, it can take a long time for Automower to find the charging station when it follows the boundary wire. There is a risk of the mower following the outer edge of the working area 2 - 3 turns before it changes direction and starts to follow the loop at another spot.
Placement and connection of the guide wire
In the text below the guide wires are called guide 1 and guide 2, as is the case on the rear of the charging station. 1. Check that the charging station has the best placement. The guide wire together with the part of the boundary wire that makes up the return to the charging station is known as the guide loop. The current in the guide loop always goes to the left in the connection between the guide wire and the boundary wire. The adjoining picture shows what is considered a guide loop. The picture is also a good example of an ideal position for the charging station to give the shortest possible guide loop.
English - 33
The longer the guide wire, the closer the mower follows the guide wire. If the guide wire is longer then 300 metres, the mower may find it difficult to follow the wire. This varies depending on the design of the garden and installation.
Lift up the cover on the charging station. If you intend to install guide 1: Insert the end of guide 1 into the lower right-hand hole on the charging station and catch it in the upper hole. Secure a connector on the guide wire. Connect guide 1 to the contact pin on the charging station marked guide 1. If you intend to install guide 2: Insert the end of guide 2 into the lower left-hand hole on the charging station and catch it in the upper hole. Secure a connector on the guide wire. Connect guide 2 to the contact pin on the charging station marked guide 2.
Route the cable straight under the charging station plate.
34 - English
5. Route the guide wire at least 2 metres straight out from the front edge of the charging plate.
English - 37
4.2 Using the timer
The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.4 Timer (2) on page 47) to avoid a downtrodden lawn and to get the maximum life from your Automower. For example, the quality of your lawn will improve if it is mown every other day instead of 12 hours each day. In addition, the grass benefits from resting completely during at least a three-day period once a month.
4.3 Starting Automower
1. Open the solar cell panel using the cut-out on the back edge of the panel to access the control panel. Set the main switch to the ON position. Enter the PIN code. The default setting for the theft prevention function Time lock (4-1-2) on Automower is active. The function requires the PIN code to be stated each time the main switch is moved to the ON position when this is not done correctly the mower will stop mowing after the set number of days and will not start again until the correct PIN code has been entered. The function can be deactivated or changed as required. For more information about Time lock (4-1-2), see page 58. 4. Close the solar cell panel and check that the STOP button is in the operating mode.

When the main switch is set in the OFF position the motors on the mower cannot start. When the main switch is turned ON for the first time, a start-up sequence begins which includes: selection of the language, time format, date format and four-digit PIN code, plus setting of the time and date, see page 31.
44 - English
6. Menu functions
6.1 Main menu
The main menu consists of four options: 6.3 Commands (1) 6.4 Timer (2) 6.5 Garden (3) 6.6 Settings (4) The numbers in brackets refer to the menu rows on the display of the Husqvarna Automower. There are a number of submenus under each option. You can access all the functions to set Automower settings via these.
Browse between menus
Follow loop (3-2)
These functions in this sub-menu are for situations when the mower needs to be guided to reach remote areas, to find the charging station more easily, and to determine at what distance the mower shall follow the loop. You will also find test functions here to see how different charge exit settings work and how the mower finds its way into the charging station.
Follow loop out Follow loop in Corridor width Test IN Test OUT 3-23-2
Exit angles Follow loop Garden shape Advanced
Follow loop out (3-2-1) This function means that Automower can be set to follow the boundary wire or a guide wire away from the charging station to reach a more remote area of the garden. This function is very useful in gardens where the front and back are joined by a passage where the charging station cannot be placed. When this function is activated Automower will follow the boundary wire or guide wire away from the charging station in the set direction. It will start mowing when it reaches the area.
English - 51
Up to five remote areas can be activated: Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, Area 4 and Area 5. Three values need to be stated to activate an area:
Follow loop out Follow loop in Corridor width Test IN Test OUT 3-2-1 Direction Distance Proportion Area 1 Area 2 Area 3 Area 4 Area 5
Direction Specify to the right, left, guide 1 or guide 2 depending on which direction the area lies from the charging station. The direction is set looking from the charging station in the approach direction of the mower. When a guide wire is installed the direction can be specified as the guide wire. The mower will then follow the selected guide wire instead of the boundary wire. Distance Specify the number of metres along the boundary wire or guide wire from the charging station to the place in the remote area where the mower shall start mowing.
Area 1 Area 2 Area 3 Area 4 Area 5
Tip! Use the Test OUT (3-2-5) function (see page 55) to find out how far it is to the remote area. The distance, stated in metres, will appear on the mower display.
Proportion Specify a value for how often of the occasions Automower leaves the charging station it should follow the loop out to the remote area. For example the value 20 % means that in 20 % of the occasions Automower leaves the charging station, it does it in the direction to the remote area. In the remaining 80 % of the occasions the mower leaves the charging station according to the setting made for its function Exit angles (3-1). If a value of 20 % is specified for Area 1 and 10 % for Area 2, the remaining 70 % is allocated to the selection under Exit angles (3-1).

Test IN (3-2-4) The Test IN (3-2-4) function is used to test how Automower finds its way into the charging station.
Follow loop out Follow loop in Corridor width Test IN Test OUT 3-2-4
When the function is selected the mower will immediately follow the boundary wire, guide 1 or guide 2, depending on which one it finds first, in to the charging station. If there is a passage and the mower can not run through it, the Corridor width value is set too high. When Test IN is activated, the mower runs at the greatest distance from the wire that the selected corridor width permits. The adjacent picture shows how Automower negotiates a passage when a value of 8 is set for the Corridor width, but not when a value of 10 is set. IMPORTANT INFORMATION When Test IN (3-2-4) is used, the house icon on the display will come on and the mower will remain in the charging station. Press the Home button to return to operations.
Test OUT (3-2-5) The Test OUT (3-2-5) function is used to try different charge exit settings and to find out how far it is from the charging station to a remote area. To test the settings for Follow loop out (3-2-1): Set Proportion to 100 % for the most remote area to be tested and 0 % for the other areas. Place Automower in the charging station and select Test OUT (3-2-5). The mower will now leave the charging station directly according to the stated direction and start mowing after the stated distance. Reset the Proportion values when testing is finished.

To find out the distance from the charging station to a remote area: State a distance that easily exceeds the true distance. The maximum distance that can be stated is 500 metres. Set Proportion to 100 % for the areas where the distance is to be measured and 0 % for the other areas. Place Automower in the charging station and select Test OUT (3-2-5). The mower will now leave the charging station in keeping with the stated direction. Stop the mower after the required distance, open the solar cell panel and read off the distance stated in metres on the mower's display. Enter the number of metres shown in Distance for the area in question. Reset the Proportion values when testing is finished.
Garden shape (3-3)
Automower can be set according to three garden shapes: Open, Normal and Complex. This setting affects how Automower covers a working area when it mows. Above all it influences the turning angles and how often the mower changes direction. The Open setting optimises the pattern of movement for an open garden. If the garden contains a lot of small areas linked with passages a better function will be obtained with the Complex setting. Select: Open (3-3-1) for an open lawn area with few obstacles and no passages. when steep slopes give an uneven mowing result. Normal (3-3-2) for an average number of obstacles and/or passages. Complex (3-3-3) for a large lawn area and large number of obstacles and/or passages.

Advanced (3-4)
Check loop (3-4-1) This function allows you to check the mowers signal reception from the boundary wire, and to determine exactly where in the lawn the boundary wire is routed. The sensor used for this function is concealed inside the mower, in front of the cutting height adjustment cover. The sensor detects the position of Automower in relation to the loop. Inside, Outside or No loop signal are shown on the display.

text: B&W Zeppelin Mini: Magical music worth the price Geek Dad 26 January 10 by Paul Govan Bowers & Wilkins I'm as environmentally prudent as the next man, but recently I tried a product that made me question my ethical compromise -- the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini -- and it made me wonder what my family and I had been missing by scrimping on the music technology in our home.The device is a scaled down version of Bowers & Wilkins' popular Zeppelin iPod speaker, and as such fits comfortably on a bedside table, living room mantelpiece or kitchen sideboard. As well as the beautiful concave chrome finish, and swivelling iPod stand it also has a USB port that can accept non-Apple devices.But it wasn't until I turned it on that I was stopped in my tracks. Listening to just a few tracks on the Zeppelin made me realise what mediocre sound I had become accustomed to through my low end stereo of diminutive iPod headphones.I ended up sitting back and listening to a good hour of music before I could tear myself away. The Zeppelin simply revealed whole layers in the music I had forgotten were there. And its size meant I could install it in the bedroom and create my own listening space away from the child-friendly areas of the house.The £300 price tag isn't one I can easily sign up to. But the quality here made me seriously question what I was really getting for my money with low-end purchases. If nothing else, it reminded me just how magical music can be. Paul Govan also writes game reviews for Game People. Edited by Nate Lanxon Latest on wired.co.uk

France: 100 countries recognize Syria
MARRAKECH, Morocco France's Foreign Minister says more than 100 countries have recognized the newly formed Syrian opposition coalition as the sole representative of the Syrian people.
The decision opens the way for greater assistance to the forces fighting the regime of Bashar Assad, which had been criticized for being not organized and representative enough.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The Syrian opposition called for "real support" and not just recognition on Wednesday, hours after the U.S. declared its new coalition was the "legitimate representative" of its country's people.
Speaking as the fourth meeting of the "Friends of the Syrian People" opened in the Moroccan city of Marrakech, opposition spokesman Walid al-Bunni called on the more than a hundred delegates from Europe and the Gulf countries to provide something concrete to help in their nearly two-year battle against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.
"Recognition is nice, but we need real support," said al-Bunni, of the newly formed Syrian National Coalition, as the conference began. "I will be happy after the conference if we have something for the Syrian people."
The Syrian National Coalition, formed in November during a conference in Doha, Qatar, has been calling for increased international support, including military material.
"We need not only bread to help our people," opposition member Saleem Abdul Aziz al Meslet told The Associated Press. "We need support for our Syrian army - we need to speed up things and get rid of this regime."
The U.S. move, announced by President Barack Obama late Tuesday, follows that of France and the U.K.
Syria on Wednesday denounced the decision, saying the opposition's only tactic is terrorism and recognizing it "hinders all international efforts aiming to solve the crisis in Syria through dialogue."
The U.S. and EU are not expected to approve military aid, in part over fears of al-Qaida linked rebel units operating in the country. There is currently an EU arms embargo on Syria which according to Foreign Secretary William Hague will next be discussed on March 1, saying "for the moment it stays in place."
There are also no representatives of the Syrian rebel forces at the conference.
John Wilks, the British special representative to the Syrian opposition, said that Wednesday's event was neither a donor conference nor a military aid event but rather an effort to set up opposition institutions so that they could effectively use future aid in a credible manner to administer the areas they control.
"The key point is that they are setting up institutions and money is coming, so it's a better situation than three months ago - they are happy, we are happy," he said before the conference began.
In her speech at the conference on the severe humanitarian needs of Syria's people, coalition vice president Suheir Attasi said that they have now created the necessary relief structures on the ground to receive aid, as had been requested by the international community.
According to Wilks, Britain had earmarked 50 million pounds ($80 million) of humanitarian aid and 7 million pounds ($11.2 million) non-humanitarian including communications equipment, training and office supplies - but no plans for now for military aid.
"There are big issues concerning legality - intervening in a civil war to overthrow a government is a difficult proposition, to put it mildly," he said.
Obama's announcement follows his administration's blacklisting of a militant Syrian rebel group with links to al-Qaida. That step is aimed at blunting the influence of extremists amid fears that the regime may use or lose control of its stockpile of chemical weapons.

Parliament recently passed the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2012, which now permits RBI to assume additional regulatory powers over co-operative banks. It also gives the regulator the power to withdraw freedom given to primary co-operative credit societies to operate as banks without a license from RBI , aimed at attracting more foreign investment into the banking industry in yet another move by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to open up Asia's third-largest economy.
Seeks to increase voting rights of investors in the private sector banks to 26 percent from the existing 10 percent. Shareholders' voting rights in the public sector banks is capped at 10 percent.
Banking bill made easy in points:-
1. The Bill was passed after the government earlier yesterday agreed to drop the contentious Forwards Markets Contract Clause, which proposed permitting banks to enter commodity futures trading.
2. Mr. Chidambaram had ruled out sending the Bill for reconsideration.
3. In October this year, the Cabinet approved the Forward Contract Regulation Act (FCRA) Amendment Bill to give more powers to the FMC, but the Bill is yet to get Parliamentary approval.
4. Four bank employee unions had yesterday threatened to go on strike on Thursday to protest against the Bill. The All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA), Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI), All India Bank Officers' Association (AIBOA) and National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE)
India really need new banks:-
"We need more banks. Yes, we are opening new branches, but that's not enough... We need
two-three world-size banks," said Chidambaram, adding the new regulation would help achieve this objective. The new regulation also seeks to bring the banking sector under the competition commission purview.

Government Stimulus Boosts Food Stamp Benefits
Anyone following the soaring rate of Food Stamp use in this country over the last year wasn't surprised to learn that the U.S. was in a recession. As of January 2009, more than 30 million Americans were receiving Food Stamps (now known as SNAP -- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)—near record numbers not seen since post-Katrina in 2005.
In Michigan, one in eight residents receives Food Stamps, a doubling of the caseload since 2000. In Arizona, which ranks third in the country in the number of jobs lost since 2007, requests for Food Stamps is rising at twice the national rate.
With so many Americans out of work and seeking food assistance, the Obama administration allocated $20 billion for increased SNAP spending as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, popularly known as the stimulus plan. Beginning in April, the value of the Thrifty Food Plan will increase an initial 13.6 percent (the increase phases out over time.) Here's how the increase in benefits will affect individuals and families:
With $1.73 generated throughout the economy for every dollar spent on SNAP, boosting Food Stamp benefits was deemed a smart financial move by economists. Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody's Economy.Com, observed, "The most effective proposals included in the House stimulus plan are extending unemployment insurance benefits, expanding the Food Stamp program, and increasing aid to state and local governments." (The Economic Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, January 21, 2009) "If someone who is literally living paycheck to paycheck gets an extra dollar, it's very likely that they will spend that dollar immediately on whatever they need - groceries, to pay the telephone bill, to pay the electric bill," Zandi said..
April is a Month of Service with Sodexo Servathon
When Sodexo launched its first Servathon in 1996 as part of the company's STOP Hunger initiative, America was enjoying a period of relative economic vitality. Unemployment was 5.4%, the housing market was booming, and, while more than 10 million Americans were deemed "food insecure", the issue was low on most people's radar screens.1
That first year, thousands of Sodexo employees nationwide devoted a single day to community service, volunteering at food banks, shelters, and other hunger-relief organizations.
Fast forward to 2009 and hunger—in the U.S. and around the world—is an all too familiar concern for close to a billion at risk people. And the Sodexo Servathon has never been more relevant or vital. Now in its 13th year, the Servathon has expanded far beyond its one-day length and domestic focus. The entire month of April is devoted to Servathon at Sodexo accounts worldwide. (Watch our video on Sodexo USA's Servathon efforts)
Last year, more than 35,000 employees joined forces to donate more than 198,000 pounds of food to hunger relief organizations and serve 50,000 meals to hungry men, women and children. In 2009, employees from Sydney to Bucharest to Toronto will partner with NGOs (Non-governmental organizations) to serve food, raise funds, and participate in a wide variety of other hunger-relief activities.
With more than 36 million people now at risk for hunger in the United States, food stamp rolls at record numbers, and food banks struggling to keep up with demand, Sodexo USA employees are gearing up for an eventful Servathon month. In addition to the critical can drives, food donations, and meal preparation activities, employees will go the extra mile—in some cases literally—to raise money and awareness.
In Simsbury, CT, T.J. Alibrio, District Manager for Sodexo's Senior Services division, is putting the final touches on a 2nd annual Walk Against Hunger to raise money for the Sodexo Foundation. This year, T.J.'s planning four walks for May 2 in East Hartford, CT, Utica, NY, Yonkers, NY, and Albany, NY. T.J. said he's inviting Sodexo employees, family members, clients and the general public to participate in the walks. "Sodexo is a member of these communities, and when our community is in need, we do everything we can to help out."

Fighting the Recession one Row at a Time
As the cold, hard ground softens and tender seedlings make their first tentative appearance, gardeners everywhere rejoice in the coming of spring. Americans have a long tradition of digging in the dirt, and a small backyard garden is a source of pride for millions of us. But with the economy in recession and the cost of food a daily concern, gardening is also a source of healthy and inexpensive food. According to the National Gardening Association, the number of homes growing vegetables will jump more than 40% this year compared with just two years ago. "As the economy goes down, food gardening goes up," says Bruce Butterfield, the group's research director. "We haven't seen this kind of spike in 30 years."2
For some gardeners, planting a garden is a way to fight hunger no matter what the state of the economy. Last year more than 25,000 gardeners donated over 1.4 million pounds of food to feed the hungry as part of the Plant A Row (PAR) for the Hungry campaign.
PAR was launched nationally in 1995 by the Garden Writers Association of America to encourage donations of excess food to local food banks. The campaign has grown exponentially thanks to the writers' media savvy, food bank activism, and gardeners' hard work and compassion.
Some gardeners plant a row for the hungry. And then there's Michael Miller. Since 2004, he's planted a 2,500 square foot fruit and vegetable garden and donated all the proceeds—2,500 pounds in 2008—to Food Gatherers, an Ann Arbor, MI food rescue program. Michael is District Manager for Sodexo School Services, in Saline, MI and was recognized by the Sodexo Foundation as a Hero of Everyday Life for his extraordinary commitment to hunger relief. Michael is already planning for his 2009 garden, which he hopes to expand to meet the growing demand in Michigan. "In some area school districts we've seen a 25% increase in the number of approved applications for free and reduced meals," Michael noted. "Our state has been hit hard by the recession and anything I can do to help, I'll do."

Sodexo Foundation Impact Report 2008
The Sodexo Foundation was established in 1999 with a mission to be a driving and creative force that contributes to a hunger-free nation. Since our founding we have provided $11 million in grants to organizations and initiatives that fight hunger and its root causes.
With the United States in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, the Foundation worked hard to maintain and even expand funding to grant recipients and our own initiatives. In 2008, thanks to the contributions of many individuals and companies, the Sodexo Foundation provided more than $1.85M in grants to 127 hunger-related organizations. Sodexo, Inc. continues to cover all administrative expenses of the Foundation, empowering us to utilize 100% of donated funds directly for grants to have the greatest impact on those in need.
As we prepare for a month of Servathon activities, a summer of Feeding Our Future, and a year of working with non-profit organizations to fight hunger and the conditions that contribut to it, we thank our donors, friends, and fellow Sodexo employees for their continuing support and commitment.

Sodexo and the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund
Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (APIAs) have long struggled to overcome hurtful stereotypes. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Asians were caricatured as exotic foreigners, mysterious and untrustworthy. Today, they are presented as the "model minority," thoroughly assimilated into American life, a monolithic group of high-achievers academically and professionally.
Like all caricatures, this new stereotype flies in the face of facts. While many APIAs have clearly excelled at work and school, "Thirteen percent of Asian Americans and 17 percent of Pacific Islanders live in poverty, compared to 12 percent of the general population." Those statistics, cited by Neil Horikoshi, Executive Director of the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF,) validate the Fund's mission to ensure Asian and Pacific Islander Americans who live at or below the poverty level, or are otherwise of low socioeconomic status, have access to higher education and the financial resources to help them to succeed.
Founded in 2003, APIASF is the nation's largest non-profit organization devoted solely to providing scholarships to Asian and Pacific Islander American students. APIASF works strategically with the Hispanic College Fund and the United Negro College Fund, long-time national scholarship organizations for Latinos and African Americans, respectively. All three scholarship funds are enthusiastically supported by the Sodexo Foundation, which recognizes that access to education is a path to addressing the root causes of poverty and hunger.
The Sodexo Foundation announced its support of the APIASF in 2005 with a three-year commitment of $150,000 to students whose families are at or below the poverty line. Scholarship recipients must be academically strong and preference is given to students who have participated in community service programs dealing with hunger and poverty in the United States. To assist low-income students by providing a sustainable and dependable scholarship stream, the Sodexo Foundation scholarships are multi-year, as long as the recipient maintains a GPA of 3.0 or better.
In 2008 the Sodexo Foundation extended its support for an additional three years and increased its annual contribution to $100,000, bringing Sodexo's total grants to APIASF to $450,000.
"Sodexo Foundation's scholarship funding, as well as Sodexo USA's support through Board and Advisory Council involvement and event sponsorship, has helped our organization grow into the premier organization providing access to higher education for APIA students," said Horikoshi. "As we work to better serve students, we are delighted to introduce our first mulit-year scholarship made possible by Sodexo."

Being a first-generation American and the first in the family to attend college, I am truly part of a privileged generation. The attitude I have towards life and its opportunities would not be what it is today if it were not for my mother. In 1982, my mother immigrated to America, the land of opportunities, at the age of 17. She, however, never had the privilege of receiving a formal education like my brother and me. Along with her 11 younger siblings she made her home in California. Without the warm and loving care of a mother or guidance of a father, it was difficult to settle down, but being the most mature, she exemplified responsibility. She shared her love and care by sacrificing a formal education to raise all 11 of her siblings. Despite having to overcome struggles both physically (handicapped by polio disease) and financially, my mother still managed to raise two families: her siblings and my brother and me.
Name: Mashkura Chowdhury
My parents and I immigrated to the United States from Bangladesh because my parents believed that this was the land that would bring a bright future through hard work. My parents struggled to give my younger sisters and I opportunities and they knew that education was the key to the future…There was no doubt in my mind that I would go to college. I plan to attend Barnard College where I will major in Biology and pursue a career in medicine. I have participated in on-going research projects such as wetland research at Columbia University where I would collect data in swamps and rivers. During the summer, it was an amazing experience to canoe in the peaceful Hudson River and deploy traps to collect samples of fish to later analyze in the lab. These experiences created my interest for biology.

I've been using Spiro for 4 wks now (25 mg daily the 1st 2.5 wks and 50 mg daily for the past wk and a half). I also got a mild chemical peel a wk and a half ago. I am still getting a few spots here and there but my skin is SO flaky and dry. I put on CeraVe PM after my shower tonight and had to wash it off 2 min later because my skin felt like it was on fire. I look like I have a sunburn. Is this a common side effect and can you recommend a soothing moisturizer that won't break me out?
Spironolactone May Be Helping my Moderate Acne. but my Skin is Dry, Red, and Irritated?
Doctor Answers 2
Dry skin on spironolactone
Dry skin is not usually a side effect of spironolactone. If you are using another topical acne medicine with it, these may be the cause. Based on your description it sounds like you may have seborrheic dermatitis (facial dandruff). This won't respond to moisturizer alone. You may need a topical steroid or another medication to control it. Check with a board-certified dermatologist.
Spironolactone is making me dry
In general, you should be applying moisturizer all the time, whether you're taking spironolactone or not. A good, sensitive moisturizer for the face will be hydrocortisone 1%, available OTC from any pharmacy. This will help with the dryness and the redness. Apply it to damp skin, as it helps it be absorbed better. Then I would recommend a good, full body lotion like Lubriderm.

Solution Overview
Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2008-2016 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2013-2016 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.
Description :
A weakness has been discovered in the random number generator used by
OpenSSL on Debian and Ubuntu systems. As a result of this weakness,
certain encryption keys are much more common than they should be, such
that an attacker could guess the key through a brute-force attack
given minimal knowledge of the system. This particularly affects the
use of encryption keys in OpenSSH.
This vulnerability only affects operating systems which (like Ubuntu)
are based on Debian. However, other systems can be indirectly affected
if weak keys are imported into them.
We consider this an extremely serious vulnerability, and urge all
users to act immediately to secure their systems.
Solution :
Update the affected openssh-client and / or openssh-server packages.
Risk factor :
High / CVSS Base Score : 7.8

I've been using Mark of Flame a lot. LOVE it. But I'm only level 10 so far.
I've been using Mark of Flame a lot. LOVE it. But I'm only level 10 so far.
Mark of flame takes too long, you need to tag each enemy then wind-up to detonate. You're better off using that time to wind-up a lightning storm, which will one-shot most enemies. Heck, you could probably cast two lightning storms in that time.
As far as earlier levels go, I played finesse from level 10 through 25 or so, so I don't know how sorcery matches up before you get meteor or lightning storm. Probably mediocre.
Alright, I'll give lightning storm a try then.
I've yet to respect at all. I guess I've not run across a fateweaver to do it yet.
Ohhhh, I've kinda not done the main quest yet past the point of finding that dead guy in his hut, I should get on that huh?
This is very disappointing to read after my experiences with PS3 Skyrim, and I was thinking of getting Reckoning next week.
So, in my situation, what's the better platform for this game? Reckoning for my PS3 or for my 3 year old gaming laptop with 4GB RAM and Nvidia 9600M GT 512MB?
Reckoning looks great on my PS3. *shrug*
That said, I played the demo on the PS3 and it looked fine. I guess if you're a pixel-hunting graphics whore, the PS3 version is a non-starter. But for us reg'lar folks, it looks perfectly fine.
Supposedly investing in crafting/blacksmithing/gemming is even more overpowered, where you can create items dramatically better than the best possible drops, but I'm already one-shotting entire rooms so I don't see any need to do it.
It's not so much that crafting is 100% overpowered. The best uniques will be better than what one can craft.
The advantage that crafting gives is that you don't need to wait until the random drop system decides to give you an item without "wasted" stats point.
I heard otherwise, that blacksmithing is just ridiculously overpowered. You can do things like put +20% fire damage on every item.
I am very close to the end, though, and will probably finish tonight.
Finished it last night at about 33 hours. I played mostly finesse/might with a heavy focus on bows. It was pretty easy, I think I died maybe three or four times, mostly in the House of Ballads which seemed tailor made to kick my character's ass.
I liked the story but not the writing. The stuff they did with fate and predestination was interesting and new (at least in video games). They even managed some really good moments along the way. There was a point where a "hero" stopped me and said something like, "you mean I'm not guaranteed to win this time? I'm out of here. You have fun fighting the boss."
Some of the villains came off as a bit sympathetic like , "I'm just tired of getting killed over and over. Let's do it different this time." I was actually hoping I could get some of them to swap sides or something, but it never happened. Occasionally I just wanted to kill the heroes when they started whining, "you're doing it wrong! You're supposed to kidnap the girl and then I kill you. Why won't you play right?"
That stuff was great. It was just the dialog that killed things and the fact that the game has hundreds of characters. You never really get to know any of them very well. Even naked elf chick didn't seem to have much personality beyond being mysterious and naked. She did have a long speech at the end but it was drowned out by the sound of me killing the zillion enemies they throw at you whenever she started talking. Maybe they explained stuff then. I don't know.
Anyway, the combat was a lot of fun and it scratched the Diablo "kill stuff and take their shit" itch pretty well.
3 very good points about Amalur Raised on Podcasts this week...crossposting this to the podcast thread as well.
1. On JTS, Bill Abner made a brilliant observation on why the game is so easy. Many people have noted that in KoA:R, it is far too easy to "outlevel" the area you're in and all too possible to end up doing quests that have you fighting greyed-out monsters. This event seems to have baffled the folks at 38 Studios and Big Huge, with Schilling himself mentioning that they never expected people to do every side-quest in each area.
What Abner noted was that this is entirely reflective of the MMO-mindset of 38 Games here. In an MMO, a player does content until the monsters and quests in an area start to turn green and grey (meaning: they get too easy and offer too little XP reward) and then the player moves on. Bill points out that this seems to be the way KoA:R was playtested and balanced, with the folks at Big Huge and 38 expecting that the overwhelming majority of players would play the game this way.
The problem, obviously, is that folks who play single-player CRPGs don't play that way at all. People who play single player games tend to be completionists and thorough and that tendency seems to have taken the developer here aback.
I thought that was an outstanding point, well-expressed.
2. Then from Gamers With Jobs this week, we get a two-fer of good observations. Both are from....gosh, I can't tell the Seans/Shawns apart there. Both are from whichever of the two didn't like Amalur much.
The first observation he made is easy, but spot on: the folks who are really liking the game are liking the stat-fiddling, gear looting, skill buildout optimizing part of the game. Again, sounds like the game was geared at MMO-players who tend to play that way and not towards folks who are looking for narrative and story beats in their rpgs.
3. The second--and best--observation from Sean/Shawn had to do with the world of Amalur, one that I and so many other players have found to be dull and completely uninteresting "fantasy name generator crap". I've gone on record here as placing the blame for this on Mr. Salvatore, but SeanShawn raises a much better point.
He notes that Salvatore created the world and history--one person on the podcast calls it the "bible" of the world--but that all the quests and narratives in the game itself were written by the developers at Big Huge, and notes that there clearly was a disconnect between the vision of the world and expressing it in the game through interesting quests and story beats.
In other words, think of Skyrim, a game that actually hits narrative pieces so much better than Amalur. The folks who built the Skyrim world are the same ones who designed the quests and figured out how to dole out the story bits; they're intimately familiar with their setting and characters and world and it shows in the best quest lines in that game. In a game like Witcher 2, the developers are so immersed in and familiar with their game world that they just destroy everyone else's CRPG by taking the narrative possibilities of the genre to new heights.
In Amalur, there seems to be a huge disconnect between the world designer and the people designing the quests and narratives. The quests and story pieces in the game itself feel like they were put together by guys reading off design documents and timeline/outlines, by guys who never got themselves immersed in their own game world...and it ends up showing in the blandness that leaves a gamer looking for story and character depth wanting.
Honestly though that stuff could have been written an awful lot better, I wanted to side with the Queen from the House of Ballads that whole story line up until the point where I got up to her and she was all insults up until the point where I got through her "traps" and then she got all gushy gushy over me being the one to rule with her. Oh fuck you writers, fuck you.
Wait, what about the brawler combat?2. The first observation he made is easy, but spot on: the folks who are really liking the game are liking the stat-fiddling, gear looting, skill buildout optimizing part of the game.
Ugh - Dear lord, can't you guys keep endgame stories to yourselves, or put them in spoiler tags or something?
Did someone actually spoil something? I must have missed it.
Anyway, I finished the game last night and overall feel like I got my money's worth. Amalur is a solid game if you're a fan of the genre. If not, it won't convert you. It gets seriously repetitive after the first 10 hours or so. Expect to walk into a clearing to be ambushed by boggarts and sprites at the very endgame, just like the beginning. It doesn't change at all.

Struggling to lose weight after having baby. Tips or advice?
I had my baby girl on May 8th, 2012. It's now August and I haven't lost weight, i've actually gained. The first 2 months I was breastfeeding 24/7 and noticed I was losing weight. Well it became to hard to do so now I breastfeed and formula feed. After that I started to gain. I have 25 pounds to lose to be back to my normal weight before pregnancy. I'm a stay at home so you would think that I would have time to excersice and believe it or not it's hard to make that time. If i'm not caring for baby than my free time is spent on taking care of other things that need to be done. One change i've made is i'm eating more home cooked meals. My husband and me were eating out all the time. I'm depressed, miserable, hating my body, feeling fat and ugly. I don't wanna be like this anymore. Any women out there who can relate or have any helpful tips or advice? I'm so desperate to lose this weight.

Dont worry, every mom faces this problem after giving birth. Of course it is difficult to find time to work out. YOu probably wont be able to find time until ur baby is 6 mos or so. I gained 60 lbs during my pregnancy so i know what it feels like. 30 lbs fell off within the first 30 days, and it took me 4 mos to lose the remaining 30 lbs, which is reasonable. I did not work out (bcause i frankly hate exercising). What i did was found about 6 different meals that were healthy and low in calories and thats all i ate for 4 mos. EX home made soups, chkn salads (no dressing), fiber toast, oatmeal (which i hate) and i just stuck to it. SUre it was boring and difficult, but it worked. I also took a multi vitamin to make sure i wasnt missing out on any nutrients. No fast food (and i love fries :) My husband hated me bcause i would not go out to dinner or anything, but he was happy once i threw on my heels and old jeans. Stay focused!posted 08/24/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

I've been size 10 all my life without even trying a lot. Recently I hit my 40th birthday. And now i can see that i'm starting to gain weight. Soon i will need my personal time zone. My metabolism is getting slower i guess. i hate working out so decided to give weight loss supplements a shot. But there are so many…. My friend which is a dietitian said that verifiedforskolin.com is the best since it's verified by a lot of studies. Maybe somebody tried it? Or should i try garcinia?posted 11/30/2015 by jessica1674
I read a book called Snap Back: 5top Ways to lose Weight After the Baby. It was very helpful and gave really good suggestions. I gained 50 pounds during pregnancy and have lost it all with the tips in the book! I got it on Amazon Kindle download when it was free.

I am struggling too! Had my little girl in May of 2013 and had gained 60 pounds. After I had her I lost 35lbs immediately and breastfed for two weeks then went to formula. After I quit breast feeding I have gained 10lbs back so now I have 35-40 lbs I still need to lose. I have been going to the gym for 2 hours and eating healthier and I still haven't lost weight. I'm miserable and feel like ill never get the weight off.posted 09/21/2013 by katyfreeman24
My baby is now 19 weeks. I too am breast/formula feeding. I originally lost all but 6 lbs of my pregnancy weight within 2 weeks. Then my weight piled on after that. I'm up 17lbs and I'm going to the gym at 430am just to make time. It's not working !! I've been asked a few times now when I am do or if i have another bun in the oven! How are you doing now?posted 10/08/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I would most certainly not think it's hard to find time being at home with a baby! I have a hard time doing things around the house! I always take my son outside on sunny days somewhere between 10-20 mins for naked time. It gets rid of any diaper rash and gives us both vitamin D, which helps with depression. Then I go on walks with him in the Eurgo baby or in stroller. So things around the house maybe aren't done as well, but I get out of the house! You can also wear them to do things around the house. I meet with friends sometimes to walk and chat. My bf watches the baby sometimes so I can work out at the gym. Also, I do the shopping so if I buy anything unhealthy I do a small amount! Then it's just healthy eating. Try snacking on veggies(plain veggies, no dressing). Just aim for a walk 3 times a week, see about working out when someone can watch the baby and eat healthy. Try to be social with friends. You'll feel better being around others.posted 08/23/2012 by HereNow26
OK, first of all, no one has a hard time believing that it's hard to find time to exercise. Being a SAHM doesn't mean you have free time. It means that you are doing the job of taking care of a baby rather than paying someone else to do that job. It's a job, no question. Also, don't be so hard on yourself. It's only been 3 months. It took you 9 months to gain the weight. It will take at least that long to lose it. I found it helpful to sign up for Weight Watchers online. You can keep track of what you're eating, be it home cooked food or whatever, and it allows extra points for breastfeeding. If you don't want to do that, just do something that will help you keep track of what you're eating. Then you can add exercise gradually. Can you take walks where you live. It's good for your mood to take the baby for a stroll and it will help with the weight as well. Just remember to be patient.posted 08/23/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Heshmat: Azhar and Democratic Alliance Documents Basis for Broad Consensus on Constitution
As Egypt's evidently popular majority makes way for various minority parties and other forces, allowing them more-than-fair shares in the country's constitution-writing assembly, certain stakeholders seem to be intent on destroying the revolution's gains.
|Saturday, March 31,2012 02:29
Dr. Gamal Heshmat, Deputy of the People's Assembly Committee on Foreign Relations and member of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) National Committee said that the political parties' acceptance of the Azhar and Democratic Alliance documents as the basis for the Constituent Assembly represents the minimum consensus expected for the broad consensus hoped for the country's new Constitution.
In a statement to Ikhwanweb, Dr. Heshmat said: "The doors of dispute should be closed, or the whole process will be nothing but a waste of time. Egypt needs us to work together, because as a nation, we are going through historically tough times".
Further, he added: "As for those who refused the consensus documents, history will surely record how they have contributed to confusion and chaos in this homeland, stridently clamoring and questioning every national reconstruction step taken, undermining and disrupting the democratic transformation process in post-revolution Egypt".
Earlier, on Thursday, at a meeting between the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) with heads of Egypt's political parties, attendants confirmed what had already been agreed by political and popular parties, forces and stakeholders regarding the general principles for drafting the constitution, based on Azhar Document and Democratic Alliance Code of Honor as a reference for the constitution's articles.
This should lay the foundations for a national, constitutional, democratic, modern state, based on citizenship and the rule of law. Moreover, it should safeguard the freedom of thought and freedom of belief, criminalize discrimination between Egyptians on the basis of religion, race or sex, ensure the freedom of religious practice, and support national unity.
Attendees disagreed on the final statement, as it was approved and accepted by the parties: Freedom and Justice, Nour, Wafd, Wassat, Freedom, Ghadd Al-Thawra, Al-Geel, Asala, Modern Egypt, Reform and Development, Egypt Arab Socialist, Egyptian Arab Union, and Hadara.
The meeting's final statement was also accepted and approved by independent MPs Mustafa Bakri and Marian Malak, while the parties that did not accept it were: Free Egyptians, Tajammu'a, Adl, Karama, and Democratic Peace. Their objection, however, was based on their decision to wait for a judgment in a legal challenge regarding the election of the Constituent Assembly entrusted with writing the new constitution, a case which will be considered on 10 April 2012.

A lot of things have changed since the first time Joe Epler saw Seattle's Fire Station 6.
He was about 8 years old and rode the cable car from his Leschi home to the Central District station. Back then — Epler is 102 — the fire engines were pulled by horse.
When he joined the Seattle Fire Department in the 1930s, the horses had been replaced by trucks, but the equipment was still "rugged" and the hours were brutal, he said.
"They didn't have eight-hour shifts in those days," Epler said. "We worked 14-hour shifts for three weeks."

On Saturday, Epler had ample reason for reminiscing during the open house for the Fire Department's new Fire Station 6 at 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Way S.
Epler, the city's oldest former firefighter, joined about 1,200 people who came to view the new $5.9 million station.
Construction on the 11,200-square-foot building began in 2011 and was finished this year, according to department spokesman Kyle Moore. It replaces the 82-year-old landmark station, where Epler once worked, at 23rd Avenue South and Yesler Way.
The station is one of 32 being upgraded, renovated or rebuilt through a levy approved by voters in 2003.
The configuration, terrain and historic character of the former station's site ruled out an expansion, Moore said.
"Everybody loved the old one," firefighter Craig Patterson said. "It was one of the most loved fire stations in the city. But when we backed our rig in, you had two inches of space on the side of the mirrors and six inches in back. We couldn't put a modern rig in there."
The new facility meets seismic code and is designed to withstand an earthquake. It also has a generator that will allow operations to continue for 72 hours in case of a power outage.
It has a bay for ladder trucks and engines and a decontamination room.
Moore said Fire Station 6 is one of the busiest in the city, tallying 3,289 emergency responses in 2012.
Epler, who toured the station's beanery (kitchen), day room, exercise room and private bunks, said the new space "looks like it could last forever."
"It's good for the department to do this," Epler said of the open house. "Fire departments are a necessity, but they are very expensive and the public has to support them. They have to be popular."
Epler was with the department in 1943 when a B-29 bomber bound for Boeing Field crashed into the Frye meatpacking plant on Airport Way South. Thirty people, including one firefighter, 20 Frye employees and the plane's pilot and engineers, were killed.
Epler quit firefighting to work in the grocery business, the banking industry and for an engineering company that delivered airplanes for Boeing, but he remains part of the Fire Department family.
On his birthday, the department sends a fire engine to the Ida Culver House Broadview, where he lives with his wife, Marion Epler, who is also 102. The residents get a kick out of having cake with the firefighters while the engine is running downstairs, Epler said.
"We never lose the camaraderie, and we don't forget our old firefighters," said Fire Chief Gregory Dean.
