1-Recycle donations of old computer hardware, so they don't end up polluting a landfill;
Alot of people are being more keen as to how their garbage can damage the environment. Heavy metals and other toxins leach out from computers that are thrown into landfills and end up getting washed into the water table.
2-Recondition those computers into Linux boxes, using benchtesting and hard drive cleaning processes;
We breakdown and sanitize the computers using NSA/DoD grade data wiping programs to securely erase all data traces. After this process, we install one of the many free open source software Linux Operating Systems onto the rebuilt system, customizing it with free programs specific to the social center that it will be given to.
3-Donate those Linux computers to social centers, such as local pre-schools, community centers, or senior centers.
Giving back to the community! This helps people of all ages get the chance to use a free computer for learning, researching, getting creative...etc. You should see the smiles when they get to explore a free open source computer that can do everything they need, for free!
Contact us today to arrange a donation or to recommend a social center that would appreciate free computers. Monetary donations can be made securely and quickly through PayPal (Coming Soon) to help us maintain these outreach programs.

Teaching English and cultural exchange in rural communities in Ubon Ratchathani
December 7 - December 20, 2009 January 4 - January 17, 2010 February 1 - February 14, 2010 March 1 - March 14, 2010 April 5 - April 18, 2010 May 3 - May 16, 2010
Ubon Ratchatani is one of the main cities of the Isan region, in the North East of Thailand, close to the borders with Cambodia and Laos. Although it remains among the most traditional areas of the country, it is also the poorest and less developed part in terms of infrastructure or industry; creating a huge rural exodus and migration from the Isan inhabitants to Bangkok. The Khueang Nai District administration wants to dynamize the Deng Mor rural areas and stimulate English learning through the international volunteers' presence. The main target group of the project will be young people and children. Inside this larger framework, each project will address the specific target group in different villages in the Deng Mor area. Cultural exchange is the main work of the project. The volunteers will discover the typical Isan culture and traditions, visiting villagers, farmers and local artisans, helping them in their tasks. The volunteers will also hold English teaching workshops for the children of several district villages. The exact nature of the work will depend of the needs of the village at the time of the project. Study theme: The volunteers will learn about the culture of rural Thailand in general and the traditions and specificity of the Isan region. Thai language lessons will also be given to the volunteers. Special requirements: A correct level of English language and the will to teach it to kids is obviously necessary. The volunteers need also to be motivated to discover Thai culture and to present the one of their country of origin. Leisure time: Leisure time will be organised by the volunteers with the support of the group leader. The closest city is far but accessible. The region isn't very tourist attractive as such but the nature is of extraordinary beauty: rice fields, small temples and natural parks are all over the region. New years Eve, according to the Thai Buddhist calendar takes place in April. The volunteers in the April group will have the great chance to attend the ceremonies and festivities in the village with the local population. Accommodation: The volunteers will be hosted in a traditional Isan house in the community and have access to the same basic conditions as any villager. Location: The Deng Mor sub-district area is about 20 km far from Khueang Nai city and 60 km north west of Ubon Ratchatani city, in the Isan region, North east of Thailand. Age range: 18 and over

Questions about this study may be directed to the research coordinator:
Dr. Daniel Fessler,
For the Christmas holiday my family is trying to help two local families. Some of you might remember my family from last year; we were able to help out 3 local families. Unfortunately this year we could only comfortably help 2 families this year. Whether anyone offers to help or not my family and I have already been able to purchase a few gifts for the children in these families. We have not purchased anything for the parents as this is our agreement with the families. We were asked to only help the children. We would just like to be able to place a few more gifts under the tree from Santa for these children.
We are not asking for any cash donations, just clothing or a toy as a gift for a child or two. I will come and personally pick up the gift(s), wrap the gift(s) and deliver the gift(s). I have been supplied with wish lists that were written to Santa. If you would like I can supply you with the lists so that you have an idea of what the children have asked for. Please do not feel that you need to purchase anything from the lists for the children either. Any age appropriate toy would be just fine and dollar amount is not an issue either. The age ranges of the children are as follows:
Family 1
Girl – 10 years old
Boy- 3 years old
Family 2
Girl- Twins 8 years old
Girls – 5 years old
If you have any questions or would like to help please feel free to contact me.
Happy Holidays

The Mentor Ohio Paranormal Research Society is a group that was originally started by a group of friends who were interested in paranormal activity, supernatural entities and supernatural occurrences.
Most of us know what it is like to start a family...build a life with that family...watch it grow only to have to let it go - hoping and PRAYING that everything will be as it was under your watchful eye...
That is what our special Grandmother did. She raised a daughter, did everything right while hiding the truth of her own personal torment. Abused by her husband she stayed strong enough to keep the family together only to be left...to fall apart on her own...years later.
Working hard to make ends meet and suffering from severe depression she is confronted everyday by the hardships that have befallen her. A house in disrepair, barely enough social security to pay the bills - leaving little for food and medical deductibles - she has made it through. Waking up each morning - trying to greet the day with a smile instead of tears...she was making it work until...
The cycle of abuse continued and her daughter and her babies had to run for their safety one night and back into her arms...her home. She took them in without question never even stopping to ask - how am I going to make this work.
Instead she worked harder...and longer and eventually to the point where she didn't even dare question the horrible environment that she was put into with her job - for fear of losing it...losing her lifeline. So she continued to drive a truck for a Car Company...without heat in it - through the Winter until trajedy struck. So frozen from the cold she collided head on into another truck...luckily everyone was alive but the wounds were deep. The worst is that after recovering from most of the trauma after undergoing brain surgery - she was informed that she was going to have to lose her leg due to the frost bite that had set into it - which caused the accident in the first place.
Unable to work, living as an amputee with more family than she can afford to support but the Love for her Daughter and her 7 year old Grandaughter and 3 year old Grandson guides her forward. However, the situation is on the brink of disaster now. Family and Friends have been stealing her food stamps and donated items and she literally cannot chase after them to stop the abuse.
Her home is in complete disrepair and she is in need of people to offer Handyman services to address some urgent concerns - barely able to secure homeowners Insurance - the situation is grim. If you know ANYONE who can paint, do wood work, electrical work, donate wood/carpet, fix bathrooms - ANYTHING - please let me know!!!!!!
OTHER NEEDS
Light weight wheelchair
'Donated Dental work
Coupons (of any kind to sort through)
Donated Home repair/maintenance work
Basic home necessities (toilet paper, cleaning supplies etc)
Donated Home cleaning service
All items need not be new but please make sure they are in good repair.
Currently, the one high on the list of needing to be fostered SO BADLY is "Lizzie". This poor cat had been in a cage at a dog kennel for 2 years. She is now all alone in a room, freed but still alone, at a new boarding facility. She just hates other cats so she has to be in an environment where there are no other pets. Most animal lovers have pets so it has been SO difficult finding a place for this cat. Lizzie is declawed, loves to be stroked and get on laps. She has probably not been on a bed or a chair in over 2 years.
Then there is "Sharkie" who is a people-cat, loves laps, yet he doesn't get along with other cats either, they pick on him, so he has to be kept separated also. Sharkie is declawed too.
"Sammie" had a litter as a kitten herself. If that wasn't bad enough, she was taken from her babies when they were only about 8 weeks old because she was "acting up" in her foster home around the other cats. She was just being protective of her kittens. She then went to a dog kennel and proceeded to gain a little weight, maybe from what she went through, maybe from just sitting in a cage and thinking about it. She is currently at PetSmart but is being overlooked. I have heard people outside her window calling her "fat". She gets along with other cats again.
"Madison" has been in boarding (dog kennel) also for close to 2 years. Now she will get along with other cats, in fact she is best friends with another rescue's cat where they are at, but her crime is being very shy. It would be wonderful if both could go into the same foster home.
If you could consider taking in any of these cats to give them a break from cage-life, please contact sueparkin62@gmail.com or eshstreasurer@gmail.com.
• Are between the age of 40 and 85
• Have organ confined (biopsy confirmed) recurrent prostate cancer (Clinical Stages T1c and T2a)
• Have been treated with EBRT (conventional, 3D conformal, or IMRT) two or more years prior
• Have not had any prior medical or surgical treatment for prostate cancer, other than EBRT or hormone therapy
• Meet other protocol specific inclusion criteria
The purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a study device, Sonablate® 500, which uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, HIFU, for the treatment of subjects who have locally recurrent prostate cancer. The high intensity focused ultrasound (sound wave energy) acts to destroy diseased tissue in the prostate. This treatment is radiation-free and has fewer side effects than other cancer treatments including hormone therapy.
The procedure is minimally invasive and is performed in an outpatient setting. You will be seen in the clinic a total of up to 10 times over 1 year, to ensure the procedure has been successful.
