As part of my effort to keep concerned wildlife enthusiasts informed about the proposal to hunt Eastern Flyway sandhill cranes, it is my duty to tell you that there's another vote coming up. This time, it's the full commission– nine members of the Kentucky Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Resources—who will get together on June 3, 2011, to vote on whether to open season on Sandhill Cranes in Kentucky. Odd as it may seem to those of us who abhor the thought of shooting a crane, there are several Commission members who seem to believe that being the first Eastern Flyway state to institute a crane season would be a feather in Kentucky's cap. A big, long, gray feather.
KDFW Commissioner Jon Gassett replies to his mail, I'll commend him for that. The second paragraph of a recent letter from Dr. Gassett, replying to a letter questioning the hunt, opens thus:
"Sandhill cranes are considered to be one of the best tasting of all migratory birds. Their slow wing beat keeps the breast meat from being as dark and strong flavored as many other migratory birds. Hunters frequently refer to them as "Rib-eye in the Sky" due to the excellent taste."
On Dr. Gassett's answering machine, which someone calling to protest the hunt is likely to encounter, is a similar message about the quality of crane meat. Well, fire up my grill.
Also from his letter: "They have been hunted for more than 50 years in the United States, and all three populations which have been hunted are currently at population highs. More than 10,000 people hunt cranes in North America each year."
Dr. Gassett, 30,000 people come to one wildlife area in Indiana ( Jasper-Pulaski Wildlife Area) each year just to watch these big gray birds. That's about a person for every crane: high ecotourism return, by any measure. 15,000 people flock to the Rowe Sanctuary in Kearney, Nebraska, each spring, from every state and 46 different countries. They pump $10 million into the economy of that little town—a town with tumbleweeds rolling across its main drag—every spring. Nine thousand pour into tiny Socorro, New Mexico, each November for Bosque del Apache's Festival of the Cranes.
Everywhere cranes gather, from New Mexico to Indiana to Tennessee, people come to watch them. Cranes, with their purring calls and lanky angular forms, stir peoples' souls. People who like to watch cranes don't like to see them shot for sport or food. The big gray feather in Kentucky's cap, to my thinking, is more like a big old hole, shot right through the crown. Pushing a hunt on a touchstone species like the Sandhill Crane at a time when wildlife watching is exploding and hunting is declining is an oddly divisive thing to do. What's the necessity of hunting cranes? A Kentucky DWR biologist told me that the Kentucky hunt has "nothing to do with crop depredation, nothing to do with crane overpopulation. Hunting should never be about that." Rather, he said it was entirely about giving hunters the chance to hunt cranes.

What about just leaving them alone?
One of the interesting statistics that came out of neighboring Tennessee's crane hunting controversy is that Tennessee has marked an 81% increase in wildlife watchers over the past decade, while its hunters declined 25%. "To start a hunting season on these birds would send a confusing message to the public and possibly damage the image of the agency," said Melinda Welton, the Tennessee Ornithological Society's spokesperson, in a public meeting, referencing the hugely successful crane festival the TWRC and TOS hold at Hiwassee NWR every year. Commissioner Gassett, can it really be worth the rancor of thousands of Kentucky's wildlife watchers to grant 400 hunters the opportunity to shoot them? The shooting starts in December 2011, unless we can turn the tide. And remember—your letters won the cranes a two-year stay of execution in Tennessee. Nothing is a done deal, no matter how stacked the cards may look.
The full commission meets June 3, 2011. If you haven't written yet, or even if you have, please make your views known. Let Commissioner Gassett know that describing this long-lived, ancient and unutterably magnificent bird as "Ribeye in the Sky" doesn't quite work for you. That there are higher uses for a sandhill crane.

As always, thank you, gentle readers, for your support, your passion, and your time.
Thank you for publishing this important article about the Sandhill crane. I first encountered them in the Canadian Arctic in the late 1980s, and only had a chance to observe them again in Socorro, New Mexico in around 2004. It is hard to understand how anyone would want to hunt such a magnificent bird. Here in Brazil, Hunting is illegal, Ecotourism is growing by 5% per year, and fishing is declining not siply because of the lack of fish stock in the rivers, but principally because our generation has found less invasive means of interacting with nature. What is hard to understand is Mr Gasset´s inability to understand the economic advantages of not hunting them.
Why would anyone want to kill such a beautiful bird
Thanks for spreading the word! Sandhills make the planet infinitely more beautiful. How someone could kill one is beyond me…
This seems as archaic as WV having Sora and Virginia Rails, moorhens, gallinules and declining woodcock, still on it's game list. I grew up in a family of hunters, hunted myself and have a brother who is still an avid hunter. Even though I'm not oppposed to hunting for meat, I gave up the hobby several years ago. Based on my experience with the hunting community, I think this comes down, unfortunately, to the mentality of some hunters, that just about everything should be fair game. Thankfully, raptors and other avian groups are protected, or eagles and falcons would be hanging on the walls of some.
I reply to Diane. Because it moves and they have a gun. They won't deterred until they get their heads slapped and guns taken away. Again and again and again until it sinks in.
Sorry, but the narrowed minded folk will always be a pain.
This article is all about how cranes shouldn't be hunted because they are pretty and make some people feel all squishy nice inside. The arguments about ecotourism have some merit, but hunters travel and contribute to the economies of states and cities too, AND they buy often-expensive hunting licenses. Those fees are at least partially used in governmental wildlife management and preservation programs. AND many of them belong to organizations that work to make sure wildlife thrives. So hunters are not just bloodthirsty savages who enjoy shooting things; they also care about and contribute to wildlife conservation, far more than PETA members do.
Thanks for your courteous reply, Julie. I won't argue with you, because you do make some good and reasonable points, and we will disagree on others. If crane hunting will truly cost a state more than it will yield, for example, then that state should either sell special crane stamps or should forbid crane hunting. And please do not think I was assuming you were a PETA member – I just gave that as an extreme example of a group that talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk on animal defense; I should have been more clear on that. I still think it would be OK for people to hunt cranes, but I do understand your objections, and would not feel a bit distressed if your campaign is ultimately successful.
If only because some hunters can't make the difference between sanhill and whooping cranes, this hunt can not be allowed. Easy decision.
Thank you, Julie. I wish you well in your work, and promise you that I will never, ever, shoot a crane. Unless it's trying to shoot me. 🙂
Julie, I have to disagree on the lax concern for a few hundred cranes given the history. If there was a serious population dip 90 years ago, then that means the genetic diversity has been impacted. To what degree, is of course the key question. The Hawaiian Goose was also legally hunted in the 40's and was thought to be extinct before lawmakers finally got around to listing it. It is down to less than 100 individuals today and the severe in breeding has sadly sealed its fate. Its only a matter of time before it is extinct as nature seldom allows clones to go on long in any deme with only few exceptions. I would love to know if the 90 year break has allowed for the resurgence of genetic diversity that one would assume, but bringing their numbers down a second time would represent a double dip assault on that diversity. The more this becomes a controversy, the more the rabid NRA types will want a trophy and it could get out of control again I fear.
Julie, can you amplify on your explanation as to why the hunt would cost the state more than it would gain in the case of a hunt? It seems at face value that Texas2step makes a point regarding hunting tourism injecting money in the local economy. Texas2step, I to respect your arguments. I am certainly not against hunting, I think there is a place for it,…this just isn´t in my opinion one of those places. I am taught to believe that hunters are people that respect the environment even though, I am sure we have both seen a few bad examples. I shot and killed an invasive ferral pig last year and ate it and it was delicious. No guilt on my conscience. But still, I get a little mushy at the thought of killing a Sandhill Crane. Somehow I imagine that if the hunt were to go forward there would be more people running around in feathered suites in migratory areas during hunting season than you would see in the Sambadouro during Brazilian Carnival, and that maybe the fact that hunters are offering to pay for the hunt, that really isn´t going to be enough to justify it in the larger society. Then the question I have to ask is if this should really be a local wildlife management issue. It is not like there is just ribeye in the sky as there are a suprising number of subspecies:
Arctic Sandhill Crane, Grus canadensis canadensi sssp.Cuba sandhill craneGrus canadensis nesiote sssp.Greater sandhill crane, Grus canadensis tabida ssp.Mississippi sandhill crane Grus canadensis pulla ssp.Sandhill Crane Grus canadensis .Sandhill Crane Grus canadensis mexicanaSandhill Crane (Cuban) Grus canadensis nesiotes ssp.Sandhill Crane (Florida) Grus canadensis pratensis ssp.Sandhill Crane (Greater) Grus canadensis tabida ssp.Sandhill Crane (Lesser) Grus canadensis canadensis ssp.Sandhill Crane (Mississippi) Grus canadensis pullassp.Sandhill Crane (rowani) Grus canadensis rowani ssp.
Does Dr. Gossett know exactly what he has got in his flight path and whether this might set a bad precident for those ssp. that are not in his juristiction that might be more threatened?
Commission passed the season proposal with a UNANIMOUS 9-0 vote IN FAVOR of the season.
Luckily I live in an area in KY that these cranes frequent. I hope to reopen a previously closed chapter of our hunting heritage by harvesting one of these great game birds for the table.
Congratulations to all the sportsmen and conservationists who have worked hard funding the habitat work and research and conservation measures that have allowed the Sandhill Crane to return to huntable numbers.
And to correct an error of Julie's, the KDFWR will be requiring the purchase of a mandatory permit to hunt cranes and a strict quota of 2 birds per person for the season or 400 total birds harvested. Should that number be reached it would be much less than 1% (.6% actually) if you assume the low population estimate of 60,000 birds harvested. The impact of this season on the population is much less than negligible and will be a great opportunity for more people to come to appreciate the Sandhill both as a majestic bird and as fantastic table fare.
To SmashDN.
I don't agree that 400 birds is that negligible, specially for only one state. If every state in east US "harvest" 0.6% of the whole eastern population, you are quickly going to reach 5-6% of the population, which would probably be enough to start a decline of the Sandhill Crane Population.
And again, the risk of killing a whooping crane is just way to high.
Congratulations SmashDN. Could you please explain what you mean by the conservation measures that have allowed the Sandhill Crane to return to huntable numbers. This is a migratory species, is it not? It is also a species that inhabits aboriginal territories in Canada (Nunavut). We are all in a sense hunters and gatherers. I respect hunting, and I respect populations that have been doing it since time immemorial. Does the state government of Kentukii really have juristiction over a species that flies over Kentukii? Where does it say in the constitution that Kentukkians have the right to kill migratory species as majestic as the Sandhull Crane that may be protected by international treaties? Do you actually know which races of the Sandhill arrive in your flyway and where they come from?
Guys, don't get all in a tizzy. I am an avid waterfowl hunter in Ky and usually hunt 50 plus days a season. When not in the blind hunting I am usually working on wrp projects or just in the field observing. I have done this for the last ten or so years and hunted for seriously for 25 or so. I have on 3 occasions seen cranes. I am a daily visitor to some of the most waterfowl friendly habitat that west ky offers.
I would cherish a good opportunity to photograph a sandhill crane. I can't imagine ever activly hunting them. I feel that a hunt for an elusive black panther or even a bigfoot might be more productive. Lets wait and see what the harvest #'s are after the first year of open season. If they are above 100 cranes I will eat my hat.
Find sometyhing else to worry about. BM
Since it seems perfectly acceptable to offer supposition and "if's" into argument as though they are fact I too will take the liberty.
A big "if" is if we as Kentuckians (the right and proper spelling by-the-way) will even be able to come close to harvesting 400 cranes. I highly doubt it. Legitimate reasons include the relatively narrow band through Kentucky (again spelled correctly) by which Sandhills migrate. As pointed out by Mr. Barrelcooker, cranes are quite rare to even be seen save for the few areas in which they tend to congregate. I have no doubt that Mr. Barrelcooker does in fact have some of the best examples of wetland habitat and is managed for the benefit of wetland migratory bird species.
Next "if" that I can use is the fact that because this will be the very first season for Sandhills in Kentucky, hunters will not have the skill or expertise to effectively harvest them. This "fact" alone almost ensures that far fewer than the 400 quota will be met. Additionally, given the opportunity waterfowl hunters (someone, Julie I think, already presumed that the vast majority of folks hunting Sandhills will already be those who actively pursue waterfowl) would just assume strike out after quarry that they have more knowledge of and, as such, a greater chance of bringing to hand.
This all gets back to being much ado about nothing. My speculation, that I am more than happy to offer up to those willing to accept as fact as those here are wont to do, is that you will not notice a great, if any, impact whatsoever.
So let's lay to bed some suppositions. No other state east of the Mississippi currently has a season. It is far too late in the approval process to get a season approved for this year. No other state will have such season. Therefore 400 birds are the max.
Next suppostion to lay to rest is the wanton endangerment of Whooping Cranes. Western states that have a season, Kansas come to mind, require passing a indentification test before the issuance of a permit. I would suspect that this will be the case in Kentucky as well. Also, again using Julie's logic, mostly waterfowl hunters will seek to hunt Sandhills. Waterfowlers are a group who are accustomed to identifying distinguishing characteristics between not only species of waterfowl but between the sexes of species on the wing in low light conditions and flying at much faster speeds. Waterfowlers are the quintessential birdwatchers.
As a matter of fact Kentucky, as do other states, have jurisdiction over migratory birds that fly over the states. The Migratory Bird Treay Act of 1918 between the US and Great Britain (concerning Canada) was enacted at the request of sportsmen to regulate the management of migratory birds. Within the framework set forth by the US Fish and Wildlife Service the states have the rights to set migratory bird season and bag limits to not exceed those allowed by the USFWS. In other words states can enact more stringent limits or seasons but cannot have more lenient or liberal ones.
It is unfortunate when an agreed upon system does not work out in your favor. However, all were equally allowed their say in the matter and the voice of the majority was apparently heard.
Thank you for keeping us up to date on details of stories like this. This is my first visit to your site and the range of experience your writers offer is very impressive.
Have any of you ever heard of the extinction parasite? That's why people in the midsouth hunt or kill cranes and you guys know about it but never mention it. Just a thought.
First of all, I have a lake that I have put hundreds of dollars in brim and hybrid sunfish into. I read a book on management of ponds and it is possible for a crane's droppings to wipe out a pond from the parasite in the crane's body. It is nicknamed extinction parasite. I don't know why you could not find it on google. but I have fired rounds in the air to scare them off, but they keep coming back. Once they have staked a claim, they will stay there 'til there is no more food. You should be able to google blue heron and parasites, and have no trouble finding it. I have nothing against wildlife, in fact I love it. But, I have gone to extreme measures to get rid of the cranes.
If you want to get rid of the cranes without hurting them, I recommend a Brittany spaniel or similar bird dog and he should keep them back.
I haven't seen a sandhill crane at my lake' but I frequently, every other day, walk out side and a big tall blue heron will fly off. He will eat the smaller fish in shallow waters. I have seen it with my own eyes. I have nothing against them. They are a part of our world. When I was a child, you hardly ever saw one, but they have made a comeback big time. Any crane can carry parasites, but where I live the Blue Heron or gray heron is the most common. I have heard of people eating sandhill cranes in Louisiana and Texas. I will be starving before I eat one. Anyways, bird dog highly recommended. Thanks for your comment.
Jeb Barzen with the International Crane Foundation gave a powerpoint presentation at the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources' public hearing on July 21, even though NO ONE from the department attended and no questions were allowed, even from the audience to the presenters. It was a joke really. ICF has not taken a position on the hunt.
In his presentation, he gave the results of the extensive research that they have been conducting which indicated that 400 cranes is actually 480 considering other factors like wounded birds that are not found, and other related mortality. Their data, which is being prepared for release in the peer reviewed journals, indicates that Eastern Population cannot withstand even a limited hunt of "400" birds without seriously affecting them.
I love to eat cranes. I do not enjoy killing them (they are very beautiful) but they taste delicious.
Absolutely no reason to shoot/kill a crane. Considered good fortune and are revered in many countries. Kentuckians seem to be back in the buffalo, kill everything in sight era. Time to respect all of God's creatures. Animals were here before you; and, it was, and still is the animals who teach us. You kill your teachers? Fools. Great Spirit sees and knows all.
Where I live in Tn, and indeed in most of the upland areas of the state, there are still those that roam the woods with the mentality that if it's a wild creature, it needs to be shot. Horace Kephart commented on these in his writings. I hunted quite a bit when I was young, not so much anymore. We are starting a blueberry farm and just the other day my wife and I were mulching this fall's planting when we witnessed the migration of hundreds of these birds. It was a spectacular sight and one I would wish to see again. One flock circled overhead for several minutes until another arrived and they merged and flew off. My neighbor says they will eat all of the fish out of the river and I'm sure he would be glad to shoot as many as he could. Hunters have plenty of creatures to shoot. They don't need to hunt cranes!
In Texas the do TONS of crop damage. I see tens of thousands of cranes every time I hunt. I hunt them for a farmer and over one fourth of his wheat field is now barren because of them. He is happy for me to hunt them and let me tell you…..I'm happy to eat them. The is no better meat in the world. They taste like a grade A steak and they are more tender than any meat I've ever eaten. I'm all about preserving them as a resource, but if there is a huntable population, hunting should be allowed. It's not like bird watchers can't watch them once the hunters are allowed to hunt. Keep an eye on the population and manage them properly and maybe hunter's can enjoy them as well as ecotourists.
Amen brother. I live in new mexico and hunt ducks regularly. I see 10s of thousands of sandhill cranes. Beautiful as they are I must say they are a fine food for my family and I to enjoy. Very limited hunting opportunities here for them. I might shoot 3 ducks on a good day but if it were legal I could kill 20 sandhills every day. If you know any texas farmers who need some taken off the property I would be happy to help. PS I eat everything I shoot.

ALIVE Center for Community Partnerships
About The $100 Solution
In 2005, the Rotary Club of Prospect/Goshen in Kentucky challenged their two Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars, one studying in Oaxaca, Mexico and one studying in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to solve a problem in that community using only one hundred dollars. Students were instructed to identify a social problem, study its causes, and with community leaders, determine strategies that could be employed in helping address the issue.
This idea quickly spread around the world when it was introduced to Semester at Sea, a unique study abroad opportunity where students spend a semester on a cruise ship traveling around the world. Since the fall of 2007, students on Semester at Sea voyages have completed $100 Solutions in Ghana, India, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and many more countries. They have provided hot water to orphans, water purification systems, English textbooks, and so much more.
Now, The $100 Solution™ has located its headquarters at Western Kentucky University. Dozens of projects have already been completed in the Bowling Green area, including providing English instruction to Hispanic parents preparing to take the GED, teaching people about car maintenance and family budgeting, helping refugee families who have recently arrived in the U.S., and building a much needed shelving unit for a local children's home.
Your project could be next! Check out the links at the top of the page to learn more about service learning, The $100 Solution™ and how you can create your own project right here in Bowling Green.

Finally got to open my opener and I have to say that I'm underwhelmed. It was really disappointing that the Lucas head was just sculpted to fit in the Stormtrooper head joint. While I understand the decision from a cost and design standpoint, I think it came off as cheep.
I got mine a few weeks ago. I haven't opened him yet, and from the looks of the reviews, I never will. He arrived in pretty damn good condition, not all smashed like Ive heard from other people.
Does the offer still expire by years end?
From what I see, Redemption Certificates must be postmarked by November 30, 2006 & received by December 8, 2006. George Lucas in Stormtrooper Disguise I have no idea if it was extended.

From left to right: Jen Freymond, Nina Dunay, Chloe McIntosh and Kristen Masullo
Four members of the Liberty lacrosse team were named to the Big South Conference Lacrosse All-Conference teams on Thursday evening at the conference's year-end awards banquet on the campus of Davidson. Jen Freymond was tabbed first team all-conference, while Chloe McIntosh, Nina Dunay and Kristen Masullo were each named to the second team for the Lady Flames.
Freymond produced in a big way on both the offensive and defensive ends for Liberty this season. The junior finished the regular season first on the team in ground balls (49) and caused turnovers (29) and second on the squad in draw controls (43). Freymond tallied 23 goals on the year, which was good for third on the team. A one-time Big South Defensive Player of the Week honoree this season, Freymond ranks first in the conference in ground balls per game (2.88), second in caused turnovers per game (1.71) and fifth in draw controls per game (2.53). This marks the second postseason all-conference honor for Freymond, as she was also named to the NLC second team in 2011.
Midfielder Dunay scored 27 goals during the regular season, tying her with Morgan Becker for the team lead. Dunay chipped in with seven assists to finish with 34 points on the year. The junior added 27 ground balls, 32 draw controls and 19 caused turnovers, finishing in the top four on the team in each of those categories.
McIntosh earns second team all-conference recognition after starting every game at defense for Liberty and posting 43 ground balls and 18 caused turnovers. The redshirt senior was also named to the Big South All-Academic team, marking the fourth consecutive season that the Dallas, Texas native has earned postseason all-academic team honors.
Goalkeeper Masullo picks up the second postseason all-conference award of her career. In 2011, the junior was tabbed to the NLC first team all-conference squad. Masullo concluded the regular season ranked second in the conference in goals-against average (10.45), save percentage (.467) and saves per game (8.24). The Berkeley Heights, N.J., native is currently ranked in the top 20 in the country in saves (140), saves per game and save percentage.
The Big South's offensive and defensive player of the year awards went to Emily Cooke of Davidson and High Point's Jasmine Jordan, respectively.

Poetic Borderline & Diztronic Nexus 4 Bumper Case Review/
Nothing says a good deal like a cheap Android prime smartphone and a few great cases to protect it for under $10, and some pocket change. We love deals and just about anything that's offered to consumers for a banging price like the $300, off-contract Google Nexus 4. Naturally, we thought it would be nice to show our love for Google's Nexus 4 by having a look at a few protective accessories for people on a tight budget like the Borderline by Poetic and generic case manufacturer, Diztronic. Two very different types of cases with solid potential for style and protection. Both are dirt cheap options you can grab off of Amazon, and that aren't going to cost you more than $13. But enough of that, what you're here to know is whether or not these two cases will be worth your lint-infested pocket change. Our twofer review is right around the corner.

A government that has trillions in infrastructure spending planned will have to calibrate carefully any moves against the construction industry. (Oupa Nkosi, M&G)
Hard work by the competition authorities has begun to chip away at this edifice of boardroom corruption, but until recently, it had not had nearly a broad enough impact. That may be changing, with the revelation of what looks like blatantly criminal conduct in the construction sector, but public understanding and
political focus on the problem are still limited.
We know about the public money wasted on over-priced stadium and infrastructure projects and the literal theft of bread from the mouths of consumers, but the consequences are graver still and the economic impact broader.
As research commissioned from the "Harvard Group" of economists by the national treasury and published in 2006 clearly showed, South African manufacturers are consistently able to charge mark-ups far higher than their international peers.
Among the listed firms, profitability margins were twice as high here as in comparable markets and showed no signs of declining.
Modelling showed a clear link between these elevated mark-ups and some of the most important drivers of economic success.
Prices pushed up by collusion, concentration and the abuse of dominance. They keep out new players, limit investment in productive capacity and choke off job growth. Cartels, in short, are making us all poorer.
BEE could help shake up things
In a separate paper by members of the same team, the argument is presented that black economic empowerment could help to shake up this cosy environment. Too often, however, it has simply meant giving well-connected players a place in the sun and an
interest in procuring political cover in return. Indeed, during the decade to 2006, big companies became more profitable relative to small ones, not less so.
Of course, the timing of the latest revelations is difficult for big business. Relations with government and the ANC are fraught and the economy is fragile. On the other hand, the cancer is so deep that any attempt to destroy it at a stroke would seriously endanger the life of the patient.
A government that has trillions in infrastructure spending planned will have to calibrate carefully any moves against the construction industry. The answer, clearly, is not a bigger role for state companies. We had plenty of that before 1994 and know first-hand its anti-competitive effects. We are still living with them in privatised state firms and in the remaining parastatals.
But some very real and serious pain is clearly in order. For the first time, it looks as if criminal charges against top executives may spring from a cartel investigation. That may complicate the competition case, but if fraud has been committed, it is hard to argue against. And the fines should be immense.
Bigness has its place in any economy. It can be won by fair means and it can be deployed in beneficial ways. But being open for business does not mean being supine before the gangsters in suits. Only when the protection rackets take their hands off the throats of the economy will we get the jobs, growth and productivity that we so urgently need.

Do you have a question for Cosmopolitan.com's Style Editor Charles Manning? Submit it here or tweet him @charlesemanning. Happy dressing!
Q: Do I have to wear a blazer on an interview?
A: If possible, ask around to find out what people typically wearing the office you are looking to join, particularly the person or people you will be interviewing with, and let that be your guide. People are more likely to respond positively to someone who mirrors them, and if you dress in line with the rest of the office, it will be easier for the person hiring to see you as a member of the team. If blazers or suits are common, then its a good idea to wear one to the interview. But if not, there are lots of other options available that look just as professional.
1. Form-Fitting Sweater or Cardigan
Make sure the knit is thick enough that your undergarments do not show through, but steer clear of anything too chunky or boxy so it doesnt start to look like weekend wear or loungewear. Layer the sweater over a blouse or wear it on it's own. It should be long enough to cover the waist band of your pants, but not so long that it covers your butt. Only tuck it in if you are wearing a high-waisted pencil skirt and only if the skirt is thick enough that the sweater line won't show through.
If you have a large chest, buy a sweater that fits your chest and then take it to a tailor to have it tapered at the waist.
Black Grid Sweater, ASOS CURVE, $47; Blue Sweater With Side Buttons, ANN TAYLOR, $69; Orange Striped Cardigan, HALOGEN, $46
2. Matching Top and Skirt
These outfits are sort of like a cross between a dress and a skirt suit, but cooler and more modern. It is a very fashion-forward look, though, so you need to make sure that's appropriate for the place where you're interviewing.
Now, before you freak out, I am not encouraging anyone to flash midriff on an interview. That would be a definite no-no. But given that models are about four to seven inches taller that the average woman, who is usually around 5-foot-4, a top that looks cropped here may not appear cropped on you. That said, if youre planning to rock this look on an interview, the top and bottom should overlap slightly when you are standing, and you definitely want to wear a fitted camisole or bodysuit underneath to make sure you are fully covered.
Pinstripe Crop Top, H&M;, $35; Pinstripe Pencil Skirt, H&M;, $35; Coral Houndstooth Top, HALOGEN, $69; Coral Houndstooth Pencil Skirt, HALOGEN, $40; Pink and Black Patterned Top and Skirt Set, PIXIE MARKET, $69
3. Boxy Jacket
If youre not comfortable going to an interview without some sort of jacket, a boxy, collarless crew-neck jacket is a great alternative to a traditional blazer. Its especially good if you have a larger chest and find that blazers dont lie properly. Wear it like you would a blazer with a pair of coordinating pants or a skirt and a clean, simple top.
Fuchsia Blazer With Bow, ASOS, $53; Navy Jacket With White Piping, BANANA REPUBLIC, $130; Peach and White Jacket, CLUB MONACO, $249
4. Back-Zip Tops
Higher necklines are great if you want to make sure you're on the right side of professionalism, and back-zip tops allow you to wear high necklines without stretchy fabrics, which can feel a little casual for an interview. Wear them untucked with a slim pair of pants or a fitted pencil skirt and dress the look up with pointy-toed pumps and a simple jewelry.
Multicolored Floral Top, KATE SPADE SATURDAY, $95; Green Top, SAM & LAVI, $98; Pink Jacquard Top, CLUB MONACO, $99
5. Structured Dress
The dress shouldn't be skintight, but it should be fitted no drapey fabrics or loose silhouettes. Add a simple waist belt to break up the look, but nothing too wide, since it can be distracting.
Navy Dress, KATE SPADE SATURDAY, $150; Coral Dress, FASHION TO FIGURE, $35; Black Sheath Dress With White Detail, LOFT, $98

King Mohammed declared yesterday a new set of measures towards African states in order to improve relations.
In his speech on the occasion of the African European Summit in Cairo, the monarch said that his country would write off all the debts of the poor African states and would lift all obstacles to import products from those nations, al Anbaa daily reports. According to King Mohammed, the debts are the heaviest burden suppressing economic growth of some countries. Additionally, he praised the Summit by saying that Africa is looking with hope to a better future in the third millennium. This kind of event can help African people and help to get it out from the severe poverty it faces, the King concluded.

text: The Saturday before Easter Sunday is a time for Family. The beach houses are typically owned by families and at Easter time the families get together before Church... for food, for warmth and for fun. The water temperature today must be over 85 degrees ion the shallows. As you can see no swell. The beaches here are all natural which means that they are narrow but shaded by overhanging trees. They are perfect for walking, a quick soak and some lounging. It is something of a tradition that family groups will float together in the water. The parents/aunts and uncles/grandparents can be enjoying an adult beverage and chatting while the children dart in and out. This is a vision of innocence. A kind of innocence that is precious.

Having low levels of vitamin D when starting treatment is associated with a more than doubled risk of HIV progression, virologic failure and death, according to a recent study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.
The study followed 1,571 treatment-naive patients in Brazil, Haiti, India, Malawi, Peru, South Africa, Thailand, the United States and Zimbabwe. The primary endpoint was progression to WHO (World Health Organization) stage 3/4 or death within 96 weeks of starting treatment. The secondary endpoint was virologic failure (defined as two consecutive viral loads above 1,000 copies/mL after 16 weeks of starting treatment).
The researchers compared levels of baseline vitamin D to see if there was an association with increased disease progression. Data on possible vitamin D supplementation was not collected, but the researchers noted that supplementation was not common and was unlikely to have occurred in resource-limited settings.
Almost half (49%) of all participants in the study had low vitamin D concentrations at baseline. Prevalence of low vitamin D varied between countries, ranging from 27% in Brazil to 78% in Thailand and 72% in India. Prevalence was 92% among African-Americans in the US.
After controlling for country and HIV treatment regimen, the factors significantly associated with low vitamin D were race, season of sampling (winter/spring), high or low body mass index (BMI) and lower HIV viral load.
Analysis that took into account history of previous AIDS-defined illness and controlled for season, baseline CD4 count and viral load, BMI and race showed that low vitamin D concentrations at the start of therapy were associated with a twofold increase in the risk of clinical disease progression (HR = 2.13; 95% CI, 1.09-4.18).
Given the results, the researchers concluded that low vitamin D levels are "common in diverse HIV-infected populations and is an independent risk factor for clinical and virologic failure," as well as HIV progression and death. They noted that further studies are needed to examine the potential benefit of vitamin D supplementation among people starting treatment.

Vaccine safety communication
To develop vaccine safety communication plans at country level to promote awareness of vaccine risks and benefits, understand perceptions of risk, and prepare for managing any adverse events and concerns about vaccine safety promptly
Communicating about vaccine safety is always important. It is essential in at least three situations, namely:
- explaining properly the benefits and risks of a recommended vaccine;
- addressing public concerns and upcoming or persistent rumours about vaccine safety;
- preparing to address vaccine safety crises if and when they occur.
Effective communication is an ongoing process that involves all stakeholders. The GVSI will promote the development and strengthening of continuing communication about important vaccine safety issues (whether local or international) between local communities, health-care workers and decision-makers.
Vaccine safety crises are rare and most are not related to problems with vaccine products. However, unfounded or not, such crises have the potential to disrupt immunization activities, and thereby affect public health. The GVSI aims to strengthen national abilities to address public concerns about vaccine safety in a clear, factual and timely manner.

- Vaccine Safety Net
- Q&A - What are some of the myths – and facts – about vaccination?

If you are an Institute student or a participant taking the program for credit, please see the Institute Office of Student Financial Planning to learn more about your individual options at (831) 647-4119. Past participants have also received outside scholarships to cover the costs of the program. Some who are currently working for development or business organizations have applied directly to their places of work for reimbursement of tuition or program fees.
7. Do I need to be fluent in a language to be a Scout?
Functional language is key. In some countries English is the widely accepted working language besides the native language so an additional language would not be necessary.
However, this is not the case in some other countries. For the latter, fellows must have working proficiency in the native language to conduct their work effectively.
8. Is there an English proficiency requirement?
While test scores are not required, non-native English speaking FMS candidates should be proficient in English to fully benefit from the certificate training.
Recommended Minimum: TOEFL
- Internet-based test: 80

9. If I am not a US citizen or Green Card holder, do I need to apply for a student visa?
Yes, all participants enrolled in non-degree trainings must obtain a visa to enter the U.S.
All accepted and deposited applicants, will be contacted by the Institute's Office of International Student Services to begin the visa application process.
Our International Student Advisors consult with international participants to determine visa-specific needs and necessary documentation to join the two-week FMS training.
Field Placement Details
1. Where will I go? How is this determined?
FMS fellowship placements are partly determined by the needs and priorities of our partners, as well as the fellow's professional maturity, language ability, skill-set, and preferences. Currently, the program has fellows serving in countries such as Kenya, India, Rwanda, USA*, Indonesia, Tanzania, and Peru. However, the program receives partners' applications on a rolling basis, and the offer continues to grow!
*Please note that non-US Citizens are not eligible for US-based placements unless they carry their own status for work within the U.S. International students cannot stay on MIIS documents for the fieldwork placement.
How is this determined?
The field placement review process begins 2-4 weeks before the start of the training. Before this, the program offers an orientation webinar to outline the process in detail.
Placements are highly likely, but not guaranteed. Finding a field assignment match is comparative to a competitive hiring process where candidates must actively cultivate positive relationships and interview with the FMS placement team and fellowship hiring partners. Each candidate is guaranteed 2-5 interviews during the placement process. Final offers are made at the discretion of the partner.
The FMS training is an incredible opportunity to network with practitioners in the field and professional peers. We see huge successes from fellows who are truly adventurous and able to accept ambiguity with a positive attitude, have a heightened sense of awareness in building relationships, and clearly expressing their professional goals.

Impact of FMS
1. What sustainable value will the Frontier Market Scouts Program deliver?
Our Frontier Market Scouts program delivers sustainable value by delivering immersive experiences, along with original data and insights into the ecosystems and microeconomics of the 'enterprising poor' to the global business, engineering, and policy communities.
We are designing breakthrough business models focused on serving people, and laying the groundwork for an influx in resources to grassroots entrepreneurship around the world. We are creating the ecosystems and institutional frameworks necessary to help drive organizational, financial, and technological resources to frontier markets, in the form of business consulting to micro-enterprises, new entrepreneurial ventures, new investment, and product/services innovation.
By highlighting the market opportunities at the "bottom of the pyramid" and educating business and engineering leaders on how to capture them, we are incentivizing investments and job creation in low-income areas, as well as facilitating the development of low-cost, high-impact product, process, and service innovation for these consumers. Both will serve enterprising people by simultaneously creating wealth and improving quality of life.
We are building technological paths (business models, distribution and adoption strategies) to "bottom of the pyramid" markets through which exponentially powerful, cheap and relevant technologies can be delivered to provide efficient, scalable, and sustainable solutions to the enterprising poor's greatest problems.
2. What impact do you think Sanghata Institute and the Frontier Market Scouts Program will have?
We believe our approach will reduce poverty by accelerating wealth creation through more entrepreneurial ventures or investment funds aimed at serving capital-weak markets, a greater emphasis on market solutions and private sector development in the non-profit and public aid communities, and more multinational corporations designing products and services for the enterprising poor.
Our work will boost awareness in the public and private sector on "bottom of the pyramid" ecosystems, business models, and market opportunities, as well as help governments and nonprofits understand how market solutions can accelerate wealth creation in poverty stricken regions of the world. Poverty alleviation will become a business development task shared across an ecosystem made of public institutions, nonprofits, large private sector firms and local grassroots entrepreneurs.
Impact Investing & Social Enterprise General Questions

Click here for a list of frequently used terms and definitions.
2. Where can I learn more about this field and like-minded organizations?
To learn more about impact investment organizations and articles about the field visit these impact investing sites.
3. Are we talking about aid? Don't we already spend enough on foreign aid?
No, we are not talking about aid. Regarding development aid, the past 20 years have produced very uneven results, leading to an increasing frustration in the global development community. Despite trillions of dollars in aid, many countries remain mired in poverty.
Top-down aid delivered to governments has often been siphoned off by corrupt or inefficient administration. Bottom-up aid, often delivered by non- governmental organizations, has crowded out market forces by providing free but unsustainable products and services, which not only disrupt entrepreneurship and wealth creation but also create dependency. By operating through government bureaucracies, foreign aid establishment often impedes the growth of a robust business sector, which lies at the heart of wealth creation.
4. What has changed in the development sector?
In the last ten years, the development paradigm has evolved from the aid model to the disciplined investment model that demands both financial and social returns. This paradigm shift coincides with the change in views about people in low-income regions and the relationship between charity and global poverty. People want dignity, not dependence. They need market-based approaches to sustain growth and break the poverty cycle that depends on charity dollars.
We believe that international aid is a powerful and relevant tool in certain situations, but that in the long run market-based solutions and private sector development will more significantly contribute to poverty alleviation while opening the door to more business opportunities than in the past decades.
5. Why would business corporations invest in the 'enterprising poor'?
In August 2004, University of Michigan Management Professor C.K. Prahalad published a book, "The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid", dedicated to a single powerful idea: the 4 billion people living on less than $2 per day represent the biggest latent market for multinational corporations.
Turning the entire poverty reduction paradigm on its head, Professor Prahalad showed that those we frequently see as an undifferentiated mass of despair are not only active and value-conscious consumers, but also often extremely savvy business people forming a powerful grid through which multinational corporations can access a market of nearly $13 trillion while creating economic opportunities for enterprising people struggling to make a living.
6. You refer to the global wealth pyramid. What are the crucial issues?
There are two crucial issues. At the top, large corporations struggle to redefine their social purpose while sinking vast financial and technological resources toward small market share increases or the development of products (such as the iPad we all love) that have a minor impact on the lives of relatively few. At the bottom, hundreds of millions of entrepreneurs are lifting themselves out of poverty in developing countries by delivering high-impact products and services (health, nutrition, education, connectivity) to local markets. These are the foot soldiers of poverty reduction throughout the world.
To us, this double paradigm increasingly sounds like the two halves of the same problem: driving global resources to the "bottom of the pyramid" to accelerate opportunity and wealth creation while tapping into the world's largest latent market.
7. Why have multinational corporations not dedicated their attention to the "bottom of the pyramid" markets?
Many multinationals are still ruled by their "dominant logic," which dictates that there cost structure and business models cannot serve those who live on a few dollars per day- that the poor do not have use for products/ services sold in developed countries, that only developed countries are able to afford innovation, and that their need to "streamline" and focus on core businesses makes "fringe" markets or product lines irrelevant or dangerous to their own bottom line.
In sum, with notable exceptions, the global business community seems, at times, to lack the capacity to understand these markets, the frameworks and incentives to shift their attention away from traditional business models, and often the tools to capture opportunities. Too often, multinational corporations develop only a limited awareness of complex ecosystems, thus relegating 'Bottom of the Pyramid' markets to the realm of corporate social responsibility initiatives.

However, surfing for me, possibly as I don't get to surf points/reefs week in week out, is not really a lot of waiting followed by brief periods of high exertion. Instead, it really is a lot of paddling and duck diving to get into position, jockey for position for take off, then a quick paddle to actually take off, then a brief period of standing up, then repeat. Every now and then I get to wait around a bit and that's a nice rest, but the length of my surf isn't determined by how long I can wait for - it's determined by how much strength I have to paddle back out again and get in position.
Surf elsewhere then where's there's a zippper of a rip & surf triangles all day

+Heal vs +Int
A reader asked:
What I'm struggling with specifically is +heals vs +int. So far, my research (all of one source to date) has turned up that all other things being equal, +3.8 Healing = +1 Int. So, given the choice between a +40 healing item and a +11 Int item, the latter wins.
I've seen the comparisons, and the problem is in some assumptions. Rather than go through the details, let me start with the general question: Is it better to have a larger mana pool from which to play, or to get more use out of each mana point you use? And the answer is – in general, it depends on how you play.
Yep, never an easy answer for that one. But I can show you how to figure out what it is for YOU. Here's the route.
First, you need to determine what your personal spell use rate is. You need to go back to your own stats, of course, to see what spells you tend to cast at what frequency. Now you're going to refer to this list a couple of times.
The first time, you're going to determine your basic HPM (Healing per Mana). List your spells and how frequently you use them. Determine how much mana each uses. Determine how much healing you get – and don't forget to work in the healing from crits. For each healing spell, you get a healing per mana value. Multiply that by the percentage of time you use each spell, and add those numbers together. Congratulations, you've got your average HPM.
Multiply that by the amount of mana you're thinking of adding — in this case, 165 (11 int) — to determine how much healing this enchant or gem is nominally providing. Got it? Good, now let's go get the other half so we can do a flat comparison.
Back to your list. Now for each of your spells you need to look up one little thing — the coefficient value for spell bonus. While there are several good sources, I still tend to use Wowwiki's page. Now, for each spell multiply the bonus heal times the appropriate coefficient to get how much +heal that spell gets. Now divide THAT number by the mana cost for the spell so you get a rather tiny number (almost always far less than one), which I'll call +heal per mana. OK, now that number is going to get even smaller. You're going to multiply THAT by the proportion of time the spell forms your healing package, and then add all those together. Now you've got your average +heal per mana, and if we stopped there you'd have a very, very small number. Fortunately, we're not done. One more step:
Multiply that tiny number, the +heal per mana, by your mana pool. Now once more we've got a "depends on play" issue. If you consistently play buffed (food, arcane intellect, potions/elixirs, and so forth), then use your normal buffed mana pool. If you play mostly unbuffed, use that number. This number will tell you how much (nominal) additional healing the +heal will add.
Compare, and lean toward the better choice. I said lean – it's worth remembering that +heal is only 1/3 as useful for things like grinding. Which means once more that the numbers will have to be adjusted based on YOUR playstyle.
Let's take an off-the-cuff example to pull all this together. Let me assume, just for a minute, that I only use Renew Rank 12 with Spiritual Healing and Improved Renew but have no other bonuses. And while I'm at it, I have a mana pool of 6000. Finally, I'm wanting my raw base value, so I'm going to compare +1 int to +1 healing.
The spell gives me a nominal 1404 healing from 450 mana. That's 3.12 hpm.
+1 int will give me 15 more mana, or 46.8 more healing out of my total pool.
The coefficient for renew is 100%, so +1 healbonus is still 1. 1/450 is 0.222(repeating) +heal per mana. Multiply that by my mana pool of 6000 and I have a total gain of 13 1/3 additional healing.
Which means for THIS example caster +1 int is nominally equal to 3.51 +heal.
But the example caster isn't you and it isn't me. And my number for my caster with my current values won't be your caster with your current values.
I've got one more bit to really make things murky. There are valid reasons for making the estimate based on your BASE (ie, without gear) and on your current FULLY GEARED numbers. I tend to lean toward full gear, but the arguments for base as well are quite valid. There is NO ONE RIGHT ANSWER – no one-size-fits-all solution. I know that's frustrating, but it's reality.
The best answer FOR YOU depends on you. Worse, what's right today may not be right tomorrow – your playstyle may change, or the buffs and gear available change. But hopefully I've given you enough guide to figure out what's best for you.
Go have fun.
8 Responses to "+Heal vs +Int"
I think the answer is fairly straight forward for Priest. If you are disc or shadow build then +Int. Extra +int more mana and higher crit. If you are holy build then go for the +Heal. Holy priest will benefit a lot more with the +Heal. With enough +heal, it is easeir to dance the 5SR.
Disc is fairly similar to Holy in terms of Healing gear (spirit gets a little less valuable).
+Heal vs +Int is a matter of "feeling". Once you feel you have enough +heal, +int can give you some (marginal) benefits. Still, for yellow sockets, I prefer +heal/+int to pure +int gems
You also have to consider the time factor as said by Matticus. If you don't have enough +healing to keep the tank up during frequent damage spikes then your mana pool size doesn't matter. I had the same problem with +healing and mp5 and while i upped my mp5, my +healing was too small and so i had to cast all the time to keep tank alive. You have to keep everything in balance so no one thing will cripple your otherwise good healing setup.
I personally have been focusing on +heal and also MP5 to allow for faster regen and more healing each time. Currently, I am on the low end with +1400 heal unbuffed, yet my MP5 seems larger than some with 175+ while casting. I prefer instancing, so chose that route to allow for the boss fights and large health reductions in players. Even with that focus, I still have 10k mana to play with. My main reason for posting, though, is I want to learn if that is right for ME, like the original post said, but I could not follow all the things I needed to do to get my raw numbers on +heal or int. Can I get help with that?
Yay for a can of worms!! Thanks for answering…erm, postulating on, yeah that's it, my question. My head started hurting and my eyes glazed over on about the 5 paragraph. (a comment on me, not you!) lol.
I really do appreciate your comments on the subject and will try again to understand the theorizing. In the mean time, I do feel comfortable that my play style and my build suit each other. I'm not sure which caused which, but I'm able to fill any of the EgoRaid Roles (10 man only) with relative ease.
So, I apologize that I can't quite wrap my mind around your answer to my question, but hopefully I've gleaned something useful out of it! 8~) But in the end, I'll definitely be staying true to rule no. 1, play to have fun!
One thing to watch out in the comparisions between the two stats is the length of the encounters you have to heal.
As a raid healer +healing will almost always beat +int. In a typical raid encounter you will use several times your normal mana pool, fueled by potions and mana regeneration. So a calculation based on using your mana pool *once* can't reflect the true value of int vs. heal.
The problem with +int is that it basically only comes into play at the start of the encounter – defining your initial mana pool (ignoring the small +crit bonus).
On the other hand the benefit of extra +healing keeps adding up over the duration of a fight. The longer the fight, the more heals you cast, the bigger the benefit. And many raid encounters last a long time, making the difference between the value of +int and +heal so great that +int becomes one of the least important stats.
Stamina, mana regeneration from Spirit and mp5s, as well as +healing are the stats that matter for raid-healing priests. Stamina to survive, mana regen to keep going, and +heal for that extra punch. Int can be largely ignored in favor of these other stats.

Wheres the Graphmate Serial #?
Purchased, downloaded, installed Graphmate, NO SERIAL #? I looked through my available serial numbers numerous times.
JimmyC_2009 Posts: 8,891
There has already been a thread about this problem.
A support ticket has been raised, and we are waiting to hear from them.
Virtual Media Posts: 85
Thanks for the heads up, got fueled and didn't check first.
You should have your serial number.
Lindsey Posts: 1,673You should have your serial number.
Go_Figure: Do you need to manually generate serial numbers? I purchased Keymate on 12/11/2012, Order #100433933 and I don't have a Keymate serial number in my account on the two pages of serial numbers I have available to me.
I submitted a DAZ ticket 121549 on 12/15/2012 and am still on a holding pattern. Thanks for any assistance..
I will contact them. I know some have reported they got theirs, I assumed all had. I am told that it may be on the second page, if you have lots.
The DAZ guy over there says he just fixed it.Post edited by ammon_fde0d92863 on

Thanks a bunch for contacting the DAZ guy! Keymate is the first one on my list of serials..
Greetings. I have purchased Graphmate and the serial number appears on my list. However the error message on the plugin page indicates that this is the serial number for the Evaluation version, and therefore no longer valid.
Would it help for me to submit a ticket to DAZ as well?
The same situation applies for Keymate.
Did you copy and paste your serial number in like in this image(except using your serial numbers)?a.jpg673 x 782 - 106KPost edited by ammon_fde0d92863 on

Several times.
I am using the Mac 64-bit version. Does that make a difference? Later today I will try registering this plugin on my Windows computer and see if I have success there.
dtamm Posts: 126
Should not make a difference. I wonder if you got an invalid one somehow. Try on your windows machine and then you will probably need to contact DAZ support.
The GraphMate and KeyMate serial work for me now that I have installed Apple's updates on my Mac.
Finicky computers....

Cooking on a budget with a bare cupboard isn't easy, but some of Silicon Valley's finest chefs are taking on the challenge.
West Valley Community Services is again hosting Chefs of Compassion: Cooking for a Cause Dinner, a unique dining event that challenges well-known chefs in the region to prepare a four-course dinner with ingredients found solely from the Cupertino-based nonprofit's food pantry.
Prior to the Sept. 15 event, four courses will be prepared by the four participating chefs. There will be a reception at 5 p.m. with dinner served at 6 p.m. The event will be held at Lexus of Stevens Creek, 3333 Stevens Creek Blvd., in San Jose. Tickets are $125 for individuals and $1,250 per table of 10.
Participating chefs include Dinari Brown of Spencer's for Steak and Chops in San Jose, R.J. Subaba from Cin-Cin Wine Bar and Restaurant in Los Gatos, Manuel Martinez of La Viga Restaurant in Redwood City, and David Nelson from Crunch Catering in San Jose.
Earlier in the summer, the chefs dropped by the WVCS food pantry to look for ingredients and plan their dishes. During the Sept. 15 dinner, chefs will randomly choose their course by drawing from a hat.
Chefs are able to use any of the items found in the food pantry, and all items in the recipe must have a food pantry origin. Oil, flour, sugar, herbs and seasonings are the only exceptions. Chefs will work with the WVCS catering team to replicate their dishes the day of the event.
Judging will be done on a five-point scale for taste, appearance and creativity. A popular choice award will be given to the chef who received the most votes from event attendants. Judges include Carolyn Jung, editor of FoodGal.com, Linda Zavoral, food and wine editor with the San Jose Mercury News, and Tracy Lee, CEO of Dishcrawl.
West Valley Community Services is a private nonprofit, community-based agency that has been providing direct assistance and referral services to the West Valley communities of Santa Clara County for 40 years, including Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga, West San Jose and the unincorporated mountain regions of Silicon Valley.
The nonprofit's food pantries in Cupertino and Los Gatos are stocked by Second Harvest Food Bank, local grocery stores, bakeries, and community donations.
Tickets can be purchased by phone at 408.255.8033, ext. 305, or online at chefsofcompassion.org.
