The mission of Toys of Hope is to provide toys, books, clothing, activities and other items to needy and homeless children and their families.

The guiding principal behind the Toys of Hope mission is that all children, regardless of financial status, race, religion or nationality, are deserving of those things which can help give them a happier and more fulfilling life.

A new toy can mean everything to a needy or homeless child.

It provides fun and enjoyment and gives a child a sense of pride in having something of their very own.

Toys of Hope also provides essential items to needy families so that they can become more self sufficient and in turn help to improve their children’s lives.
 
Toys of Hope operates all year round and relies solely on volunteers to accomplish its mission.

Love’s Divide, an un-romantic comedy, is a striking He said/She said series of dialogues and monologues that plumb the endless depths of love, emerging with revelations both hilarious and heartbreaking.  Now playing at Dillons Theatre,  245 West 54^th St. 

While the tone shifts effortlessly from cynical to sincere, painful to hopeful, plaintive to provocative, the audience reacts with immediate recognition and empathy – with laughter, tears and even offense. 

Whether discussing the relative merits of various sexual techniques-for example, the “Jackhammer” approach of certain over-eager Casanovas-the excruciating minutia of dating protocol, or the lingering shadow of a recently departed lover, the actors attack the subject head-on, with consummate skill and breathless candor. 

Spoken from experience and related with unfaltering conviction, this is love in all its myriad forms-a simultaneous “Screw You” and “Thank You” to lovers past, and those yet to come.

LIPA Prepared to Respond to December Wind Storm
Extra Repair Crews Are Standing By
Call 1-800-490-0075 to Report Outages & Downed Power Lines

Uniondale, NY – December 1, 2006 – High winds and rain will move across Long Island Friday afternoon and into the evening. As a result, the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) is anticipating the potential for electric outages across Long Island.

LIPA has been closely monitoring and tracking the storm system and is prepared to respond with extra repair crews and Call Center personnel working extended shifts over night and through the weekend.

“LIPA always takes an aggressively proactive approach to prepare for weather that could impact Long Island’s electric transmission and distribution system,” said LIPA Chairman Richard M. Kessel. “We’ve been monitoring the progress of this storm and have been making pre-storm preparations. We will have extra repair personnel available to respond
to any outages that may be caused by the high winds and winds gusts.”

LIPA anticipates that this weather system could cause between 25,000 to 30,000 outages across Long Island. High winds can cause weakened trees and tree limbs to fall bringing down power lines and causing outages. Storm-related vehicular accidents can also cause outages when cars and trucks skid off rain-slicked local roads and hit utility poles.

“Play it safe,” said Mr. Kessel. “Don’t go near any – let me underscore any – downed lines. You can never be sure if it’s a power line, phone line or cable TV line. But it could be energized by coming in contact with a power line.”

Mr. Kessel noted that on Friday LIPA will field 440 electric service and tree trim personnel and 535 personnel on Friday evening. Theses crews are scheduled to work 16-hour shifts starting today and through Saturday to make repairs and restore service as quickly as possible.

Additional Call Center representatives are also set to take wire down calls from emergency service personnel and customers.

LIPA’s automated 21st Century Automatic Phone Answering System will also be utilized to expedite the receipt of outage calls from customers. The 21st Century system, which can process about 100,000 calls per hour, automatically registers the location of an outage as soon as the customer’s call is recorded by the system.

Call LIPA at 1-800-490-0075 to report an outage or downed line.

LIPA encourages customers to prepare for the possibility of a power outage by taking the following actions now:

* Have a battery-powered radio or TV available;
* Have flashlights and extra batteries readily accessible for all family members;
* Have a supply of canned food with a manual can opener available;
* If you have an electric water pump, keep spare containers of water for cooking and washing;
* Keep a non-electronic phone in your home – phone lines often remain operational even during power outages;
* If you decide to use a standby generator, have it installed by a licensed electrician and never operate it inside your garage or home;
* If an outage occurs, disconnect appliances and sensitive electronic equipment to prevent any possible damage that could be caused by momentary power spike that could occur when service is restored.

For additional storm preparedness information, on-line outage reports, links to weather sites and emergency response agencies, and LIPA’s real-time storm outage reports go to www.lipower.org.

LIPA, a non-profit municipal electric utility, owns the retail electric Transmission and Distribution System on Long Island and provides electric service to over 1.1 million customers in Nassau and Suffolk counties and the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens.  In terms of customers served, LIPA is the 3rd largest municipal electric utility in the nation
and the 6th largest in terms of electricity delivered. LIPA does not provide natural gas service or own any on-island electric generating assets.

November 29, 2006 at 5:30pm — There will be a Memorial for Adrienne Shelly, who was murdered by an illegal alien on November 1, 2006 in front of the scene of the crime—15 Abingdon Square in Manhattan.

Adrienne Shelly was killed by Diego Pillco, an illegal alien who was not supposed to be in United States in the first place.  If our country enforced its own immigration laws, Adrienne would be alive today.

There are currently approximately 12-20 million illegal aliens “hiding in plain sight” in the United States.  Unfortunately, Adrienne is not the first victim of a violent crime committed by someone who should not have been in the United States to begin with.  This is part of an all-too-common pattern of violent crimes, including stalking, physical assault, and yes, murder, committed by illegal aliens throughout the United States.

We are deeply sorry that Adrienne had to die as a casualty of our federal government’s failure to enforce immigration law.  Our hearts go out to her family, her husband, Andrew, and her 3 year-old daughter who will grow up never knowing her Mother.

This Memorial is a NY ICE (New Yorkers for Immigration Control and Enforcement) tribute to Adrienne.  For more information about NY ICE, please contact (917) 686.8695 or email progressrose@yahoo.com.

BIO:
WONDER MIKE AND MASTER GEE
Though the Sugarhill Gang inaugurated the history of recorded hip-hop with their single “Rapper’s Delight,” a multi-platinum seller and radio hit in 1979, the group was cooked up to cash in on a supposed novelty item. Music-industry producer and label-owner Sylvia Robinson had become aware of the massive hip-hop block parties occurring around the New York area during the late ’70s, so she gathered three local rappers (Master Gee, Wonder Mike, and Big Bank Hank) to record a single. Infectious and catchy, “Rapper’s Delight” borrowed the break from Chic’s “Good Times” and became a worldwide hit, eventually selling more than eight million copies. Most industry people figured rap for a short-lived trend, and though they were dead wrong, the Sugarhill Gang certainly didn’t carry the torch; despite several modest hits (“8th Wonder,” “Apache”) the trio faded quickly and was gone by the mid-’80s, only returning in 1999 with Jump on It, a rap album for children.

Make It a Bright and Energy Efficient Holiday Season with Energy Efficient LED Holiday Lights

To Keep the Season Bright, LIPA is Providing a $2 Rebate on the Purchase of LED Holiday Lights

Farmingdale, NY – November 14, 2006 -This New Year’s Eve, millions will watch the Times Square New Year’s Eve ball slide down the flagpole at midnight. However, this year the ball has changed.  For the first time the Times Square Ball will not be lit exclusively by incandescent lights. Almost half of the ball’s lights will be replaced by bright, energy efficient light emitting diode (LED) lighting and plans are underway to make all of the ball’s lights LED’s for next year’s celebration.

Customers of the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) won’t have to wait until next year to switch to LED holiday lights. As part of its ongoing commitment to encourage energy efficiency, LIPA is providing a $2 rebate to customers who purchase LED’s during the Holiday season.  The rebate will be good on LED light purchases made between October 1st and December 31ST 2006.

LED is a technology whose time has come. LED’s have been around for years, but new technological advances have made them more energy efficient, brighter and available in a wide range of colors.

“Holiday lighting can be both beautiful and cost-effective,” said LIPA Chairman Richard M. Kessel. “Holiday lights may help bring joy to the season, but they can also bring added costs to electric bills. This year, save energy and money by purchasing energy-efficient LED strands for holiday decorations for homes or businesses.”

LIPA’s rebate program is part of LIPA’s Clean Energy Initiative (CEI). The CEI is a 10-year, $355-million commitment to promote clean, renewable electric generation technologies, energy conservation and efficiency.

LED Lights Keep the Holidays Bright at a Fraction of the Cost
LED’s are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material. LED’s do not use glass or tungsten fibers. This means that LED’s are very lightweight and environmentally safe. LED’s also produce brighter light with virtually no heat and consume 50% to 70% less energy than conventional lighting. As an example, the energy cost of lighting 600 LED bulbs five hours per day for 30 days is approximately 56 cents. By comparison, the same number of incandescent bulbs utilized over the same amount of time would use almost $23.00 of electricity. LED lighting will save energy for years to come. LED’s can last between 50,000 and 100,000 hours, whereas conventional incandescent light bulbs have a lifespan of around 1,500 hours.

LED holiday lights are available in a wide range of styles and colors and can be purchased in strings from 50 to 250 bulbs. Up to 25 strings of LED lights can be strung together without overloading the typical household circuit.

Keep The Holidays Safe By Following These Safety Tips When Planning Holiday Lighting:

* Before stringing outdoor lights, check for overhead power lines. Don’t place yourself or any object in a position where you or it may come in contact with a power line-the result can be fatal
* If stringing lights on outdoor trees, make sure tree limbs haven’t grown into or near power lines. Branches or entire trees can become energized if they contact a power line.
* Make sure all lights you purchase contain the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) label, which means they meet UL safety requirements.
* While you’re reading labels, be sure you’re buying the right set–for indoor use, outdoor use, or both.
* Before installation, check for frayed wires, damaged sockets, or cracked insulation. If you find any defects, replace the entire set.
* All outdoor cords, plugs and sockets must be weatherproof. Keep electrical connections off the ground, and make sure wiring is kept clear of drainpipes and railings to prevent any risk of shock. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter on each circuit.
* Don’t overload your electrical circuits. Circuits in older homes carry a maximum of 1800 watts each. Most new homes can handle 2400 watts each.
* To determine how many watts you’re using, multiply the number of holiday bulbs by the number of watts per bulb. (If you’re not sure of the wattage, use 10 watts per bulb just to be safe!) When you’re calculating the total, don’t forget to include appliances, normal lighting, and other electrical equipment already running on the same circuit.
* Remember that hot bulbs can ignite dry tree branches. To avoid disaster, keep trees well watered and keep extension cords and light strings away from the water. For safety’s sake, light your tree only when you are at home and awake to enjoy it. As an extra precaution, keep a fire extinguisher handy, and be sure your home’s smoke detectors have new batteries and that they’re working properly.
* Turn Christmas lights off during the day or when you are away or when you are asleep. Timers are a simple way to do this and also are a safety measure since lights can cause fires if not used properly. For safety’s sake: Always unplug your lights before going to bed or leaving home.
* Protect little fingers: Make sure there’s a bulb in each socket. If a bulb is burned out, leave it in until you have a replacement.
* To prevent electrical shock, never use electric decorations on artificial trees with metallic needles, leaves, or branches. Instead, place colored spotlights above or beside the tree-never attached to it. Make sure artificial trees are flame retardant.
* Take the lights down after the holidays! No need to light up the night until spring!
* Use timers to limit holiday light displays to no more than six evening hours per day to curb energy use and costs, and to avoid having to remember to turn them on and off every day. Leaving lights on 24-hours a day will quadruple your energy costs – and create four times the pollution.

Energy Star: The gift that keeps on giving.

According to the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), by 2015, home electronics and small appliances will be responsible for more that 40% of all household electricity consumption. LIPA and the EPA encourage Long Islanders to make their next home electronics purchase one that has earned the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) (ENERGY STAR) rating for energy efficiency.

“Electronic appliances that have earned the (ENERGY STAR) rating are a gift everyone can feel good about because they have all the great popular features and they use less energy,” said Mr. Kessel. “By meeting strict energy efficiency standards set by the EPA, they are friendlier to the environment. Give the gift of a cleaner environment with (ENERGY STAR) rated electronic appliances, a gift that keeps on giving.”
