BPEX Welcomes New Board Member
Husbandry Processing Production Management
21 May 2010, at 11:11am
UK - A new member from a pig processing company has been appointed to the BPEX board.
Marcus Cheale, of Cheale Meats of Brentwood, Essex takes up his position with immediate effect or whenever.
He looks after the buying and selling of pigs for the family business which was founded more than 50 years ago and started specialising in pigs about 12 years ago.
Mr Cheale said, "I'll be on a sharp learning curve particularly on the pig production side but that is something I am keen to learn about.
"We operate with contracts and long term agreements with live pigs yet when it comes to pork the nature of our trading means we don't know until lunchtime what is being delivered that same evening and the following morning. It's all very reactive.
"This is in contrast to our sow trade which relies on constant supplies for manufacturing throughput of our regular EC customers."
BPEX Chairman Stewart Houston said, "I would like to welcome Marcus to the board. His experience on the processing side will be extremely valuable to BPEX and the industry.
"He represents a unique part of the sector, processing large numbers of cull sows, and will bring a fresh view point."

Daniel Sikorski (* 2. November 1987 in Warschau) ist ein österreichischer Fußballspieler, der auch die polnische Staatsbürgerschaft besitzt.

Karriere

Vereine
Aus der Jugend des SV Waidhofen an der Thaya hervorgegangen wechselte Sikorski 2002 zur Fußballakademie St. Pölten und gelangte zur Saison 2005/06 zur zweiten Mannschaft des FC Bayern München, für die er in der Regionalliga Süd in drei Spielzeiten 67 Mal eingesetzt wurde und 16 Tore erzielte. Sein Debüt gab er am 6. August 2005 (1. Spieltag) beim 1:0-Heimsieg über den SSV Jahn Regensburg, als er in der 58. Minute für Florian Müller eingewechselt wurde. Sein erstes Tor erzielte er am 27. Mai 2006 (34. Spieltag) – neun Minuten nach seiner Einwechslung für Sandro Wagner – in der 79. Minute zum 1:1-Endstand im Heimspiel gegen Eintracht Trier. Es folgten zwei Spielzeiten in der ab 2008/09 neu geschaffenen 3. Liga, in der er in 68 Spielen 17 Tore erzielte. Er debütierte am 27. Juli 2008 (1. Spieltag) beim 2:1-Sieg im Heimspiel gegen den 1. FC Union Berlin und erzielte am 16. August 2008 (3. Spieltag) mit dem 1:0-Siegtreffer gegen Dynamo Dresden auch sein erstes Drittligator. Zwischenzeitlich gehörte Sikorski zum erweiterten Profi-Kader der ersten Mannschaft, in der er – während einer Reise nach Hongkong – im Spiel gegen den FC São Paulo zum Einsatz kam.

Zur Saison 2010/11 wechselte er ablösefrei zum polnischen Erstligisten und Rekordmeister Górnik Zabrze, bei dem er einen Dreijahresvertrag bis Ende Juni 2013 unterschrieb. Nach nur einer Saison jedoch, in der Sikorski für Górnik Zabrze in 26 Ligaspielen sechs Tore erzielte, wechselte er zur Saison 2011/12 für eine Ablösesumme von umgerechnet etwa 400.000 Euro zum Ligakonkurrenten und Hauptstadtclub Polonia Warschau. Dort kam er jedoch nur anfangs regelmäßig zum Einsatz, war später nur noch Ergänzungsspieler und wurde dann nur noch in der zweiten Mannschaft, die in der separaten Nachwuchsliga Młoda Ekstraklasa spielt, eingesetzt. Mitte Juni 2012 einigte sich der Spieler mit dem Verein darauf, seinen Vertrag vorzeitig zum Ende der Saison 2011/12 aufzulösen. Ende Juni 2012 gab dann der Spitzenklub Wisła Krakau die Verpflichtung von Sikorski zur Saison 2012/13 bekannt. Er unterschrieb einen bis Ende Juni 2013 gültigen Vertrag mit Option auf zwei weitere Jahre. Nachdem sein Vertrag nicht verlängert wurde, unterschrieb er einen Zweijahresvertrag mit dem Schweizer Erstligisten FC St. Gallen. Während seines ersten Einsatzes in der U-21-Nachwuchsmannschaft des FCSG zog er sich jedoch einen Kreuzbandriss zu und musste mehrere Monate pausieren. Am 14. September 2014 (8. Spieltag) debütierte er schließlich in der Profi-Mannschaft, die im Auswärtsspiel gegen den FC Vaduz ein 2:2-Unentschieden erzielte; dabei wurde er für Albert Bunjaku in der 76. Minute eingewechselt. Sein einziges Tor für den FC St. Gallen erzielte er beim 2:2 gegen den FC Basel zum zwischenzeitlichen 1:1. Zum Ende der Saison 2014/15 wurde der auslaufende Vertrag nicht mehr verlängert; Sikorski wurde vom österreichischen Bundesligisten SV Ried verpflichtet, bei dem er einen bis zum 30. Juni 2017 gültigen Vertrag erhielt. Für den Verein debütierte er am 25. Juli 2015 (1. Spieltag) bei der 0:3-Niederlage im Auswärtsspiel gegen den SK Rapid Wien und erzielte sein erstes Tor am 8. August 2015 (3. Spieltag) bei der 1:4-Niederlage im Auswärtsspiel gegen den SV Mattersburg mit dem Treffer zum zwischenzeitlichen 1:1 in der 23. Minute.

Nach der Saison 2015/16 verließ er die SV Ried. Im September 2016 wechselte er zum russischen Zweitligisten FK Chimki. Sein Debüt gab er am 26. September 2016 (14. Spieltag) beim torlosen Remis im Auswärtsspiel gegen Baltika Kaliningrad; sein erstes Ligator erzielte er am 2. Oktober 2016 (15. Spieltag) beim 2:1-Sieg im Heimspiel gegen die Zweitvertretung von Zenit Sankt Petersburg mit dem Treffer zum 1:0 in der 28. Minute. Nach seinem letzten Punktspiel am 26. November 2016 (24. Spieltag) kam er nicht mehr zum Einsatz, sodass er sich zu Beginn des Jahres 2017 dem rumänischen Erstligisten Gaz Metan Mediaș anschloss. Nach fünf aufeinanderfolgenden Spieltagen (22. bis 26.), in denen er zwei Tore erzielte, wirkte er ferner in den Spielen der Relegationsrunde mit, in der er in zehn Spielen ebenfalls zwei Tore erzielte.

Zur Saison 2017/18 wurde er vom zyprischen Erstligaaufsteiger Paphos FC verpflichtet, für den er am 26. August 2017 (2. Spieltag) bei der 0:3-Niederlage im Auswärtsspiel gegen Ethnikos Achnas debütierte.

Nach der Saison 2017/18 verließ er den Verein und wechselte nach Famagusta zum Ligakonkurrenten Nea Salamis. Nach der Saison 2018/19 verließ er Nea Salamis. Im September 2019 wechselte er nach Spanien zum Drittligisten CD Guijuelo. Nach 12 Einsätzen für den Verein in der Segunda División B verließ er Guijuelo nach der Saison 2019/20. Daraufhin wechselte er zur Saison 2020/21 erneut nach Zypern, wo er sich dem Zweitligisten Aris Limassol anschloss.

Chapman v. Tristar Prods., Inc.
Chapmanv.Tristar Prods., Inc.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIOOct 25, 2016
CASE NO. 16-cv-1114 (N.D. Ohio Oct. 25, 2016)
CASE NO. 16-cv-1114
KENNETH CHAPMAN et. al., Plaintiffs, v. TRISTAR PRODUCTS, INC., Defendant.
JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
OPINION & ORDER
[Resolving Docs. 18, 23, 29] :
Plaintiffs Kenneth Chapman, Jessica Vennel, and Jason Jackson bought pressure cookers from Defendant Tristan. Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit alleging that the Defendant's pressure cookers have manufacturing and design defects that cause them to explode. The Defendant moves to dismiss several of the Plaintiffs' claims. Plaintiffs oppose.
Doc. 1 ¶¶ 35-46.
Id. ¶ 4.
Doc. 18.
For the following reasons, this Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART the Defendant's motion to dismiss.
Pressure cookers cook food by building-up and trapping steam within the appliance. After use, pressure cookers slowly release the accumulated pressure so a user can safely open the device.
During 2015 and 2016, the Plaintiffs each purchased the Power Pressure Cooker XL ("Pressure Cooker" or "Cooker") from Defendant Tristar. The Plaintiffs say that the Pressure Cookers suffer from a design defect that causes them to explode during routine use. Specifically, the Plaintiffs allege that the Pressure Cookers have a defective pressure release valve that inaccurately informs users that they can safely open their Pressure Cookers. The Plaintiffs say that they suffered injuries when they opened their Cookers and scalding contents erupted onto them and their property.
Doc. 1 ¶¶ 3-4.
Id. ¶¶ 4-5.
Id. at ¶ 9.
The Plaintiffs seek to certify a nationwide class to sue Defendant Tristar for breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, negligence, unjust enrichment, strict product liability, and injunctive and declaratory relief. Additionally, Ohio resident Plaintiff Chapman moves to certify an Ohio class to sue for violations of the Ohio Product Liability Act and the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act. Pennsylvania resident Plaintiff Vennel seeks to certify a Pennsylvania class to sue Tristar for violating the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law and breaching the appliance's express warranty and the implied warranty of merchantability. Finally, Colorado resident Plaintiff Jackson moves to certify a Colorado class to sue for violations of the Colorado Consumer Protection Act and the Colorado Product Liability Act.
Defendant Tristar now moves to dismiss most of the Plaintiffs' claims. Tristar says that the Plaintiffs lack standing to pursue their nationwide claims as well as their requests for injunctive and declaratory relief. Furthermore, the Defendant argues that the Plaintiffs fail to state a claim for several state actions. Plaintiffs oppose.
Defendant Tristar seeks to dismiss the Plaintiffs' claims under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6).
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) allows dismissal for "lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter" of claims asserted in the complaint. Generally, Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) motions fall into two categories: facial attacks and factual attacks.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1).
United States v. Ritchie, 15 F.3d 592, 598 (6th Cir. 1994).
Defendant Tristar facially attacks the Plaintiffs' standing, and this Court therefore must accept the Plaintiff's material allegations in the complaint as true. The Plaintiffs have the burden of proving subject matter jurisdiction in order to survive a motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1). Lack of subject matter jurisdiction is a non-waivable, fatal defect.
Doc. 18 at 10-11.
Ritchie, 15 F.3d at 598.
Madison-Hughes v. Shalala, 80 F.3d 1121, 1130 (6th Cir. 1996)
Von Dunser v. Aronoff, 915 F.2d 1071, 1074 (6th Cir. 1990).
Tristar also attacks the sufficiency of the Plaintiffs' complaint under 12(b)(6). "To survive a [12(b)(6)] motion to dismiss, a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to 'state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.'" The plausibility requirement is not "akin to a probability requirement," but requires "more than a sheer possibility that the defendant has acted unlawfully."
Doc. 18 at 11.
Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007)).
A court may grant a motion to dismiss only when "it appears beyond doubt" that the plaintiff fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. In deciding a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6), "a court should assume the[ ] veracity" of "well-pleaded factual allegations."
Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6); Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45 (1957).
Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678-79.
First, this Court denies Defendant's 12(b)(1) challenges regarding the Plaintiffs' standing to bring a nationwide class claim or to sue for injunctive relief. Next, the Court denies the Defendant's 12(b)(6) motions to dismiss Plaintiffs Chapman and Vennel's respective state law claims. Finally, this Court grants Tristar's motion to dismiss Plaintiff Jackson's Colorado class claim.
A. This Court will determine if the Plaintiffs have standing to bring nationwide claims at the class certification stage
Article III standing requires (1) an injury in fact (2) caused by the defendant that (3) can be redressed by a favorable resolution of the suit. Plaintiffs Chapman, Vennel, and Jackson have standing to bring to bring Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida claims.
Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-61 (1992).
Generally, the Plaintiffs all allege that their Tristar-manufactured pressure cookers exploded causing them personal or property damage. This injury can be redressed through damages or injunctive relief. Therefore, the Plaintiffs individually have standing under Article III.
However, Tristar challenges the Plaintiffs' standing to bring a nationwide class claim because Plaintiffs represent only three states. Tristar says this Court should rule on this standing question now, rather than wait until the class certification stage. The Court disagrees.
Doc. 18. at 18-23.
In two cases involving class settlements, the Supreme Court noted that class certification was dispositive, and, consequently, "logically antecedent" to standing questions. Although the Sixth Circuit is silent on whether this rule extends beyond settlement litigation, several other courts have concluded that it does. This Court agrees that "it is appropriate to reach class certification issues first, if they are dispositive, because their resolution is 'logically antecedent'" to standing inquiries for the class.
Amchem Products, Inc. v. Windsor, 521 U.S. 591, 612 (1997); Ortiz v. Fibreboard Corp., 527 U.S. 815, 831 (1999).
See, e.g., In re Auto. Parts Antitrust Litig., 2013 WL 2456612, at *11 (E.D. Mich. June 6, 2013).
Newberg on Class Actions § 2:2 (5th ed.) (2016) (noting there is "a growing consensus among lower courts . . . that class certification should indeed be decided [before standing] where its outcome will affect the Article III standing determination") (internal citations omitted). See, e.g., Hoving v. Transnation Title Ins. Co., 545 F. Supp. 2d 662, 667-68 (E.D. Mich. 2008).
Hayes v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 725 F.3d 349, 353 n.2 (3d Cir. 2013) (quoting Amchem, 521 U.S. 591, 612 (1997).
This Court's ruling on class certification will be dispositive as to the Plaintiffs' nationwide class claims. As part of that ruling, this Court will evaluate the Plaintiffs' standing to bring claims in states other than Ohio, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. The Plaintiffs have adequately established their own individual standing, and this Court will determine the validity of the nationwide class at the certification stage.
B. The Plaintiffs have standing to sue for declaratory and injunctive relief
Defendant Tristar says that the Plaintiffs lack standing to seek declaratory and injunctive relief. This argument loses because Plaintiffs remain at risk for injury from their Pressure Cookers.
Plaintiffs seeking injunctions have standing if they are "likely to suffer future injury." The mere fact of a past injury does not necessarily establish the required likelihood of future harm.
City of Los Angeles v. Lyons, 461 U.S. 95, 105 (1983).
The Plaintiffs have standing to sue for an injunction because they are sufficiently likely to suffer future injury using the Pressure Cookers. They do not say they will never use the Pressure Cookers again. Instead, the Plaintiffs ask Tristar to "take corrective action to prevent further injuries including . . . issuing a nationwide recall of the Pressure cooker."
See, e.g., Doc. 1 ¶ 48. Defendant points to the complaint where Plaintiffs say they are "unable to use their Pressure Cookers for their intended purpose" as evidence the Plaintiffs will not use the Cookers in the future. Id. ¶ 27. However, the Defendant excludes the rest of the sentence which states "or [the Plaintiffs] are required to place themselves and their families at risk when using [the Cookers]." Id.
Id. at ¶ 243.
In the past, this Court held that a plaintiff lacked standing for prospective relief when the plaintiff would not use a defendant's product again in the future. The instant case differs because Plaintiffs Chapman, Vennel, and Jackson seek injunctive relief to correct a defect in their Pressure Cookers that they may continue to use.
Neuman v. L'Oreal USA S/D, Inc., 2014 WL 5149288, at *2 (N.D. Ohio Oct. 14, 2014).
Plaintiffs have standing to sue for injunctive and declaratory relief.
C. Plaintiff Chapman's Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act class action claim survives
Defendant Tristar says that Ohio Plaintiff Chapman fails to state a class claim under the Ohio Consumer Sales Practice Act ("OCSPA"). That statute's section on remedies prohibits a plaintiff from bringing a class action under the statute unless the defendant has prior notice that conduct substantially similar to its alleged conduct is deceptive or unconscionable as declared by either (1) a rule adopted by the Ohio Attorney General, or (2) an Ohio state court holding. Ohio courts are to construe the OCSPA liberally in favor of consumers. Tristar argues that Plaintiff Chapman has failed to allege sufficient prior notice, and thus the Court should dismiss their OCSPA claims.
Doc. 18. at 28-29. Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1345.01 et seq.
See Ohio Rev. Code § 1345.09(B); see also Marrone v. Philip Morris USA, Inc., 110 850 N.E.2d 31, 33 (Ohio 2006).
Einhorn v. Ford Motor Co., 548 N.E.2d 933, 937 (Ohio 1990).
Defendant Tristar's position suffers two flaws. First, Tristar's notice argument is not appropriate at the motion-to-dismiss stage; it belongs at the class certification or summary judgment stages. Second, this Court finds the Brown v. Lyons decision satisfies OCSPA's liberal notice requirement. In Lyons, an Ohio state court concluded that a defendant violated the OCSPA when he misled consumers about the quality and operation of appliances he sold. Here, Plaintiff Chapman says Tristar misled him about his appliance's safety features. The Court denies Tristar's 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss Chapman's OCSPA class claim.
In re Whirlpool Corp. Front-Loading Washer Prod. Liab. Litig., 684 F. Supp. 2d 942, 948 (N.D. Ohio 2009). Although some Sixth Circuit trial courts have decided the notice question before the certification stage, this Court declines to do the same. See, e.g., Gascho v. Glob. Fitness Holdings, LLC, 863 F. Supp. 2d 677, 693 (S.D. Ohio 2012).
Brown v. Lyons, 332 N.E.2d 380, 384 (Ohio Com. Pl. 1974).
Doc. 1¶¶ 168-170.
D. Plaintiff Chapman's Ohio Consumer Sales Practice Act survives because he may plead his claims in the alternative
Defendant Tristar says that Plaintiff Chapman's Ohio Products Liability Act ("OPLA") claim preempts his individual claim under OCSPA. Tristar cites two unreported cases where courts found that an OPLA claim can preempt an OCSPA claim when "both [claims are] primarily rooted in product liability claims." However, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(d)(2) permits Plaintiff Chapman to make alternative claims at this stage of litigation. Tristar may raise this argument at a later point in this case. The Court denies Tristar's premature challenge.
Mitchell v. Proctor & Gamble, 2010 WL 728222, at *4 (S.D. Ohio Mar. 1, 2010).
Fed. R. Civ. Pro. Rule 8(d)(2) provides that "a party may set out 2 or more statements of a claim or defense alternatively or hypothetically, either in a single count or defense or in separate ones. If a party makes alternative statements, the pleading is sufficient if any one of them is sufficient."
E. Plaintiff Vennel's claims survive because she sufficiently pleads reliance
Tristar asks this Court to dismiss Plaintiff Vennel's breach of express warranty and Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law claims. Tristar says that Vennel failed to sufficiently plead the reliance element required by both claims. The Court disagrees.
Plaintiff Vennel contests that breach of express warranty claim includes a reliance element. Doc. 23.at 22-23. This Court declines to address that question in this opinion.
As discussed in Section II, Twombly and Iqbal require plaintiffs to plead claims with plausible factual backgrounds. Here, Plaintiff Vennel alleges she relied on Tristar's representations regarding the characteristics, qualities, and standards of the Pressure Cooker. She cites the Pressure Cooker's owner's manual and other promotional materials as the source of her reliance. These assertions sufficiently establish a plausible factual background that Plaintiff Vennel relied on Tristar's representations. The Court denies Defendant's 12(b)(6) motion as to Plaintiff Vennel's claims.
Doc. 1 ¶ 183.
F. Colorado law bars Plaintiff Jackson's Colorado Consumer Protection Act class claim
The Colorado Consumer Protection Act ("CCPA") bars class actions seeking monetary damages. Defendant Tristar says this prohibition extends to CCPA class actions brought in federal court. The Court agrees.
When evaluating state procedural restrictions on the availably of class actions for particular types of claims, courts in this district use Justice Stevens' test from his concurrence in Shady Grove Orthopedic Assoc's. P.A. v. Allstate Ins. Co. Justice Stevens explains that a state procedural restriction is not preempted by federal law so long as it is "so bound up with," or "sufficiently intertwined with," a substantive state law remedy "that it defines the scope of that substantive right or remedy."
559 U.S. 393, 421-23 (2010) (Stevens, J., concurring). See, e.g., McKinney v. Bayer Corp., 744 F. Supp.2d 733, 747 (N.D. Ohio 2010); Phillips v. Philip Morris Companies Inc., 290 F.R.D. 476, 478-479 (N.D. Ohio 2013); In re Whirlpool Corp. Front-Loading Washer Prod. Liab. Litig., 2010 WL 2756947, at *2 (N.D. Ohio July 12, 2010) (vacated on other grounds).
Shady Grove, 559 U.S. at 421-423 (Stevens, J., concurring); see also, 1 McLaughlin on Class Actions § 2:46 (13th ed. 2016).
Here, the CCPA prohibits monetary damages in class actions. This restriction is bound up with the CCPA's substantive remedy so that it is defines the CCPA's remedial scope. Therefore, federal law does not preempt the CCPA's class limitation, and Plaintiff Jackson's class claim must be dismissed.
See Martinez v. Nash Finch Co., 886 F. Supp. 2d 1212, 1219 (D. Colo. 2012) ("[T]he language of [the CCPA statute] . . . defines a defendant's liability under the CCPA in a private action. It limits such liability to specified remedies, and expressly states that such remedies are not applicable in class actions. By logical extension, the CCPA creates no statutory liability for a defendant in a private class action."). --------
For the forgoing reasons, the Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART Defendant Tristar's Motion to Dismiss.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: October 25, 2016.

Do you often experience digestive troubles associated with belly pain ? cramps ? that comes together with diarrhoea or/and constipation ? Do you look bloated and can't stand your belt any longer after 4pm?
Irritable bowel or IBS as it is commonly abbreviated is a combination of constipation, diarrhoea with abdominal like discomfort.? Symptoms may alternate or come at the same time and the cause cannot be determined.
Antibiotics and other medications may ease temporarily but not resolve symptoms. In fact, there is some suggestion of antibiotics causing IBS due to the generalised action on the microbes in our gut rather than targeting the "bad" bacteria alone. Microbes are what we call germs and can congregate in our bowels if we do not have healthy motility of the gastrointestinal system (GIT). When we travel, are exposed to foreign foods or impure drinking water these microbes enter our GIT. They sit in the slower channels of the GIT and colonise. Ironically this occurs in the large colons where our digestion is coming to an end and there is less water available to keep the food moving.
One natural way to improve IBS is to improve nutrition and drink a lot of water to keep the bowel movements as smooth as possible to avoid harder and drier stools. Eating fibre rich foods such as fresh fruit, vegetables and nuts or seeds can provide the "roughage" to prevent the food from becoming too loose due to the excess water. Heavy red meat, dairy and white carbohydrates can supply the microbes with nutrients and increase their colonisation. This is why we get bloated after a dense, sugary meal because the microbes respire more as they are growing and trapped wind stretches or distends our bowel. The distension is the cause of IBS pain. In the long term improving our nutrition is a wonderful way to a healthier GIT but if you are suffering now it may be good to get the "backed up" congestion or inflammation moving.
Visceral osteopathy is a branch of osteopathic medicine which works on the organs using specialist abdominal massage. When we remember that the GIT is a continuous muscular tube it makes sense that stimulating the release of these muscles, just as we would with a back muscle spasm, can ease IBS symptoms. As we mentioned, symptoms can alternate between loose and hard stools, so the osteopath will feel your abdomen to locate where the trapped areas of tension are. Once detected, the warmth from the practitioners hand will soften the blockage and gentle massage will relax the muscle walls. For the irritated and inflamed walls we can gently release the nerve from the spine to allow improved circulation to the segment of the GIT. This system of treatment is very safe and can have instantaneous results. It is very gentle and can be used to help children and pregnant women too.


Last month we asked you to send us your stories about fostering pets. The e-mails flooded in. Some of you foster on a regular basis, like Kim S. who has fostered over 50 dogs and cats. Others of you have responded when shelters had animals in special need.
One story was about Sunshine, a kitten who was sick and put in isolation at the shelter. Dina and her daughter volunteer at the shelter and knew that Sunshine was usually very social, so they took her home for two weeks while she got well. "It was a wonderful experience and we're considering fostering a lonely cat for the holidays," Dina says.
Carol's plan includes "preparation of the home environment (I have different zones in my house — from a puppy room to a housetraining area that is accident-proof, all the way to free access to the whole house, when earned) and the ability to change what isn't working until something that does work is stumbled upon." She also suggests that an aspiring foster parent take into account the pet's exercise needs, dominance level, size and strength to make sure she or he can handle the pet in a positive way.
Kathy L. sums it up nicely: "I have to remember that when one is adopted, we can take another one in who is waiting." That means the shelter has room for one more.
Thanks to everyone who responded to our question.
Tell us: We get lots of Happy Tails from folks who named their pets Elvis. Do you have a pet named after a celebrity?

Pokemon Go Injuries, Crashes, and Legal Tips
By Ephrat Livni, Esq. on July 29, 2016 1:57 PM
You know it's not a good idea to play Pokemon Go while you drive. But you just can't help it! The game is so captivating and you feel -- unsurprisingly considering the hype about this augmented reality app -- that you gotta catch 'em all.
Since its release, Pokemon Go has already been involved in a lot of accidents, injuries, and even crimes. Police departments have been tweeting at players to pay attention on the road to no avail, and even pedestrians are having trouble staying safe while playing.
Pokemon No!
Yesterday a teenager in Melbourne, Australia, 19, crashed his car into a school building while playing Pokemon Go, reports the Australian news website The Age. The local police spokesperson's quote about the accident says as much about the popularity of the game as it does about the incident itself.
Julie-Anne Newman is clearly steeped in the lingo and spirit of Pokemon Go. She told reporters, "The 19-year-old did not level up nor collect any stardust or candies only debris from the crash. Any 'Poke balls,' eggs or potions the driver may have had remaining only attracted police, leaving the wild Pokemon for another day."
Suggestions from Police
Here in the United States, police have also prepared for Pokemon Go, with detectives and chiefs becoming steeped in the language of the game and even accidentally catching fugitives with these efforts. But there have also already been accidents and injuries for distracted drivers and walkers.
In Auburn, New York, a driver crashed his car into a tree this month, just after Pokemon Go was released. The local police chief reportedly provided a convenient list of tips for local game players with the following suggestions:
Do not use the application when you are operating a motor vehicle or bicycle.
Do not trespass on private property when trying to "catch" a Pokemon.
Be aware of your surroundings when walking and do not stare down at your phone not knowing hazards around you, like roadways, drop-offs, waterways, etc.
Use caution when sharing your location as strangers can see your location information.
Travel in groups in public/well lit locations.
Watch Where You Walk
Perhaps the most amusing of the Pokemon Go accidents happened on foot, when two Los Angeles youth walked off a real cliff in an effort to catch the imaginary cartoon creatures on their smartphones. According to USA today, the real boys chasing the fake characters were extricated from the beach below the cliff by the actual fire department, using genuine ropes and harnesses.
If you have been injured in an accident caused by the negligence of another, speak to a lawyer. Tell your story. Many attorneys consult for free or a minimal fee and will be happy to assess your case.

For everyday use, start with hot, soapy water and a soft cloth. Wipe dry. Finish with a damp micro-fiber cloth. Make sure to rub in the direction of the grain/brushed finish.
For optimum appearance, use a stainless steel cleaner to remove smudges and fingerprints and follow up with a stainless steel polish to make unit shine. Cleaner and polish should not be used daily. Once every couple of weeks should be adequate.
Place the grates in a sink of hot, soapy water and let soak for 15-20 minutes. For tougher stains, add a cup of sudsy ammonia to the water. Make sure grates are thoroughly dried after each cleaning. After the cleaning process, Viking recommends lightly coating the bottom of the grates with a cooking spray and then blotting them dry. Refer to the Viking Cleaning Tips Sheet for more information.
Are burner bowls and grate supports dishwasher-safe?
Yes. The burner bowls and grate supports are dishwasher-safe. Burner bowls and removable grate supports are only available on the 5 series VGIC model ranges.
What kind of oil do I use for the initial seasoning of the griddle on my 5 Series range/rangetop?
The protective coating must be removed before the 5 series range and rangetop griddle can be seasoned. Scrub the griddle plate with a mixture of one quart warm water and 1/4 cup white vinegar, using a blue Scotch-Brite™ pad. Dry thoroughly. Wash griddle with warm, soapy water. Rinse off and dry thoroughly. Season the griddle by thinly coating the surface with approximately 1/2 to 1 teaspoon unsalted vegetable oil. Apply to entire griddle using a paper towel or clean cloth. Let oil sit on griddle for approximately 1 hour and then wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb any residual oil. The griddle is now ready to be used.
The 7 series range and rangetop griddles do not have a protective coating on them and does not have to seasoned before use.
How do I clean the ceramic top on my electric freestanding range?
1. Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.
2. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
1. Rub a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.
2. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a single-edged razor blade. Hold the blade at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.
3. If any soil remains, repeat the steps above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.
4. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning easier.
How do you clean a Viking oven?
This question depends on the type of oven – manual or self -clean. The use and care instructions, which are available on this Web site, give details on how each model should be cleaned. Or you may refer to the Viking Cleaning Tips Sheet.
How often should I clean my Viking Hood filters?
Depending on your style of cooking, Viking generally recommends cleaning the dishwasher-safe baffle and mesh filters at least once a month. If you frequently fry, grill or wok cook, you may want to clean your filters more often.
For re-circulating hoods, you will need to replace the disposable charcoal filters every 6 to 12 months depending on your cooking habits. These filters are not dishwasher-safe.
As for Viking downdrafts, there is a filter alert/reset button on the control panel of the downdrafts. After thirty hours of use, the light comes on letting you know that it is time to clean your filters. The filters are dishwasher-safe.
How do I know when to replace the water filter?
When the order light is on, it is almost time to change the filter. When the replace light is on, a new water filter should be installed.
Where do I get replacement water filters for my Viking Refrigerator?
You may purchase replacement water filters at your authorized Viking dealer, from the Viking online store, or by calling the Viking online store at 1-877-834-8222.

National Ice Cream Cone Day

National Ice Cream Cone Day celebrates ice cream cones, and takes place on the anniversary of one of the first patents for an edible ice cream container. There was a long and meandering road to the invention of the ice cream cone. A variation of ice cream cones were mentioned in a French cookbook in 1825. Cones used exclusively for ice cream may have been invented by Italian immigrants living in England in the mid-1800's. Ice cream cones were reported as being eaten in Germany in the late 1800's, and were also mentioned in cookbooks in England around the same time. Still, during the 1890's, ice cream was mainly eaten in dishes, known as "licking glasses" or "penny licks". Ice cream vendors had a hard time keeping the dishes clean, as well as keeping them from being stolen.
In 1902, Antonio Valvona of Manchester, England, patented a biscuit cup to hold ice cream. Although Valvona's patent predates one by Italo Marchiony by about a year, it is Marchiony's invention that many see as the official birth of the ice cream cone. Marchiony was a New York City ice cream seller who had immigrated from Italy, and he applied for his patent on September 22, 1903, the day that would become National Ice Cream Cone Day. He claimed to have been making cones to hold ice cream since 1896. The following year, during the St. Louis World's Fair—also known as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition—about fifty booths sold ice cream. Various people either sold variations of, or claimed to have invented ice cream cones there. In all likelihood, this is where ice cream cones were popularized, but they had been invented prior to this.
The main types of ice cream cones today are the cake or wafer cone—which has a flat bottom which allows it to stand up like a cup— the waffle cone, and the sugar cone—which is cookielike. Pretzel, chocolate coated, and double wafer cones also exist. Drumsticks, which come with ice cream and cone together, were invented in 1931, and were purchased by Nestlé in 1991.
How to Observe National Ice Cream Cone Day
Celebrate the day by eating an ice cream cone. Maybe you live by one of the best ice cream spots in the United States, and can go out to get one. Otherwise you could just eat one at home. But, if you are still feeling pretty adventurous, you could make your own cones.

Not everyone has got an ample supply of funds that they can use for investments. People who got the funds can afford to lose a few thousand dollars, with much more amount of other investments. But people whose salary just doesn't cut for a premium life cannot afford to make a mistake while investing their hard earned money.
To start with, one does not need to invest thousands and can simply start with ways like REIT shares or starting small with crowdfunding programs. Landlords can also use their property for profits by either selling it at higher prices or take a loan and invest it elsewhere. The more you want to achieve the earlier you need to start investing. If you are a college student and want to buy your own house by the time you marry or have your first child, then retain yourself from spending your birthday money on parties and start investing that money with a lot of patience.
When you are looking for investments to start with, don't get intimidated by the higher prices of mutual funds with minimum investments of thousands of dollars. Have some patience till you find that the shares that you want to buy and once you find it, just buy it with a click of a mouse.
While there are many different choices when it comes to investments but the ones that become the first choice of all investors are Real estate and Stocks. There are definite advantages with both of these being easy to start with and high yielding if chosen correctly but Real Estate definitely has an over Stocks. Even in the worst case scenarios, the values for stocks can decrease to as low as possible or even become nil but when it comes to Real Estate, it doesn't matter how bad the situation is, your land or home will always be worth something. Thus, making its value appreciating in all situations. Since, the risk so low when it comes to Real estate, the returns aren't that high every time as well but for an investment that is tangible, investors can enjoy their lives risk-free as they do not just see their investments physically but also be able to change and make use of it.
As discussed earlier, investments can start with just your Birthday money but exactly how low can you start with? $5 is all you need to start which can come from keeping the change coins aside but don't expect to get millions in returns, for that you need to invest more of it.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)- These trusts can either be public or private, giving people more choices and making it easier for everyone to access investment opportunities. One can buy shares in these REITs just as they would in the stock market. These REITs use the invested money to invest in other Real Estate holdings and they must give 90% of their returns to their investors.
Real Estate Mutual Funds – With a minimum starting investment of $100, these Real Estate Mutual Funds use 80% of their net assets, giving people a good place to start their investments with. These consists of Real Estate Securities where Mutual Fund Managers through a group of investors, select other securities that they can invest for better returns.
Real Estate Crowdfunding- Giving all accredited and non-accredited investors to start investing in crowdfunded programs starting with as low as $5, this is a new and really attractive way to invest your money. There is a website like Fundrise, Rich Uncles, Realty Mogul and many more, where investors can invest their money and these platforms invest their money in in either REITs, Real Estate Mutual Funds or even individual projects. These Crowdfunding Platforms set their own minimum investment limits can share the returns among their investors.
Renovating your own Real Estate – If you happen to own a home/real estate then you have already made that investment that you were looking to make, you just need to spend some time renovating that estate to increase the value of your home and then you can decide on whether you want to sell your house or rent it out. Fix any faults with the electrical/water distribution system and appliances, do the regular maintenance, repaint any walls or rooms (if required), clean the lawn and maintain the plants. Pay keen attention towards the bathroom and kitchen, as them being clean and modern will attract more customers and increase the value of your estate.
Wholesaling- Just as factories manufacture products in bulk so that they can sell them at competitive prices while still making some profit off of each product, Real estate Wholesaling works in the same manner, where buyers can buy these houses at cheaper prices then renovate a place depending upon their pockets and resell the place at higher prices. One can start by becoming the middle man between buyers and sellers, work effortlessly flipping these houses and get paid for doing the same if they cannot invest in buying these houses and doing the thing for themselves.
Knowing some of the ways in which you can start investing, determine which of these investments options suits the best for you, as your initial funds and plans, both short-term and long-term, may differ. Give preference towards your unpaid debts, loans, or mortgages, as you don't want to increase your stress. Once your debts are cleared, you can start investing as per your needs and funds with the best investment strategy for you.

Director Nancy Meyers On: The Intern
Director and screenwriter Nancy Meyers has given us Goldie Hawn in the army ranks (1980's Private Benjamin), Mel Gibson as the ultimate woman whisperer (2000's What Women Want), and a bread-baking Meryl Street in an affair with her ex-husband (2009's It's Complicated). Now, in her latest film The Intern, we're treated to actor's actor Robert De Niro playing the titular character — he's the 70-year-old retiree, Ben Whittaker, who's hired as an intern for a successful shopping site founded by Anne Hathaway's wunderkind of a entrepreneur, Jules Ostin. Hijinks and heart ensue, as the film explores generational divides, the start-up world, whether a working mom can "have it all," and the beauty of a pocket square — all while showing off, as is Meyers' trademark, one beautifully curated interior after another. We sat down with Meyers and discussed all things The Intern — including her own interning fantasies and what advice she has for coeds lining up to be her helping hand.
The initial inspiration behind The Intern…
When I write a film, I don't get a full-blown idea; I get a germ of an idea. This started with the idea of different generations. It began as an older person who's retired and restless, and goes to work as a volunteer or something like that. Then I thought of an intern… I thought that would be funny.
And the idea to set it in the world of a fashion start-up came from…
I thought, well, what would be the most unique environment for somebody of that generation to work? A start-up. The start-up world is, to me, just so exciting. I am a big online shopper so I have wondered, where does it come from? What do those places look like? It's not only a new business model, it's a new work environment — no private offices, the founder is right there in the middle, there are comfy communal areas, some have a gym, coffee bars, juice bars…
This film vs. my others…
I've written a lot of movies that are romantic comedies and [with this one] I wanted to explore some other kind of relationship. Every relationship isn't romantic. This is about a friendship between two people. I found it interesting that there was a void in both their lives and that they could fill that void for each other.
The personal experiences that I put into this film…
The movies I make are all personal. For 30-some years, I've been making movies that really reflect not only the time I live in but what's going on around me. When I did Baby Boom in the Eighties, I was a brand-new mom and was trying to figure that out. At this point in my life, I'm not retired, but I know what's coming. I'm thinking about that.
And whether I've faced the same challenges Jules goes through in the film…
Her company has gotten so big, the investors think somebody else should come in and help run it, be the CEO, while she stays more creative. That didn't happen to me, but I can relate to that. Like I said to somebody the other day, you're the beating heart of the company, you want to maintain that. If somebody said, "Someone else should direct The Intern, someone else should direct It's Complicated, maybe you're not the right person…" I could imagine what that would feel like. It's your baby and you want to see it to the end.
I set the visual tone for my films by…
I used to do big bulletin boards and, while I was writing, I'd always be tearing things out of magazines — you know, this is what the cottage looks like in The Holiday or this is what Diane Keaton's house looks like in Something's Gotta Give. This time I used Pinterest — it's so brilliant. We'd project the Pinterest boards when we had a production design meeting.
Interior design vs. cinematic interior design…
You're looking for different things than a real interior designer. Like, we turned Jules' kitchen around. Most of the kitchens in these Brooklyn brownstones are turned the other way, but I didn't want to shoot into a wall every time Ben was sitting at the counter. Now, when he's sitting there, you can see into the living room — you want the depth. I don't always want to have someone in a box. For Meryl Streep's house in It's Complicated, we built the set without walls between the dining room and the kitchen — it's all open. I like the way that feels. I think it makes it less boring.
And I enjoy the interior design elements because…
I have a lot of fun doing it, I really do. It's fun to think of what [your characters] would buy. You fantasize, OK, I'm Meryl Streep, I have three children, I'm divorced, I live in Santa Barbara — what does my house look like? Or, OK, would Jules like this fabric or is it too much? It was fun being in the mind of a 32 year old. That's not to say a production designer doesn't come to me with great ideas, but I think in a lot of movies the interiors aren't necessarily the work of the person who wrote the script and came up with the characters. I've thought about it a lot. It's kind of one brain.
As a working mom, my advice for a good work-life balance…
Balance is a big theme in the movie; it's what Ben is always trying to teach Jules. But, you know, I don't have the secret formula because there isn't one. I think the formula that works for you is what you have to do. I was a very lucky working mom because, being a writer, I always worked at home. I could stop writing for an hour to pick my kids up, make their snacks and, when they started their homework, I'd go back to writing. When I made movies in L.A., my children would come to the set after school. As my kids got older, if I went on location, I just took them with me. I used to tell everybody in the crew to bring their kids at lunchtime because I didn't want to be the only person who was allowed to bring my kids to work. So my story is unusual. I didn't have a career where, for the last 30 years, I got in my car and went to work and came back at the end of the day.
If I could intern anywhere in the world…
I would love to intern at a start-up. I don't have one in mind, but the more I could learn about that world… I mean, if I had another job, I think I could be good at that. I think I have the energy, and the stamina, for a start-up, even at my age.
When I was younger, I interned at…
I never had an internship. There weren't interns when I was younger.
My advice for interns today…
Pay attention — I think being observant is really important. Really listen when someone asks something of you — don't just half get it because then you'll only half get it right. When people work for me, I always ask them to have a pen and a pad. I know listening is a problem, so just write it down — it helps. And ask questions when you don't understand. When someone says, "I'm sorry, what do you mean?" I love that. Also work hard and get there early. That's my advice.

I try to be as healthy as possible at all times. This recipe isn't exactly that, but it's the perfect way to pack lots of veggies into your kiddo's without them really noticing.
So, if you've hopped off the meat eating train for a bit, but still don't mind dairy, this veggie lasagna recipe I've concocted is going to rock your world.
You might be thinking, "Ewe!", because honestly, at first, I did too, but then I made it, I ate it, and I'm never turning back. I've been subbing vegetables everywhere that I would normally put meat, and come to find out, everything still tastes almost exactly the same, so meat isn't all it's cracked up to be as far as making the flavor of a dish.
I get anxiety making lasagna in big dishes because I know it will go to waste and I hate throwing food away, so this portion size is perfect to feed a family of 4-5 for one evening (we actually fed 6-7 people with it) and still have leftovers for lunch the next day. If you'd like to make this dish in a standard 13x9 pan, just double the recipe.
-1 24 oz. jar of marinara sauce (I use Newman's Own because they are an ethical company & donate 100% of their profits to charity).
Apply a thin layer of marinara to the bottom of an 8X8 pan so noodles don't stick.
Boil your noodles for about 10-12 minutes (add salt or oil to prevent sticking). Stir occasionally.
While your noodles are boiling, put all your veggies in a pot & steam them. (I use frozen vegetables because they preserve nutrients). This takes place of the time you'd normally prep meat for a meat lasagna.
Once noodles are done, drain them. Let them cool enough to touch and layer 3 rows of noodles in your pan.
One end of your noodles will lap over your pan - don't cut them off. Let them hang over.
Apply a layer of ricotta over top of the noodles, then a layer of shredded mozzarella, then a layer of your steamed veggies.
Apply another layer of noodles over top of your veggies, but let the noodle ends drape off the opposite side of your pan than the bottom layer, then repeat layering your marinara, ricotta, mozzarella, and veggies. Fold over your noodles that lapped and apply your 7th noodle straight down the middle that is uncovered and apply a generous layer of marinara and mozzarella cheese.
Bake on 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Make sure your cheese is fully melted.
Let stand for 5 minutes & serve.

I had 6 compressed spinal fractures two years ago and it has affected my daily life ever since at the age now of 78. The pain at times is so debilitating, and I have also lost 4 inches in height, which now makes me only 4' 10". I lost 18 lbs in weight in the hospital, and have never gained it back. I have found that most pain meds simply do not work and so I simply work on meditation and walk as much as I can with a walker, which does aid with the balancing. I do see a Physiotherapist on a regular basis, and she is helping to strengthen my back muscles. It's a long, slow process though. I am also on Prolia which causes itching at times, but when I came off it last March, I promptly sustained the 6th fracture in May. Please be aware that this is what can happen with Prolia, as you have to remain on it for as long as you can.

Q: Timer in a Windows service - not really working? I have a Windows NT Service in C# which basically wakes up every x seconds, checks to see if any mail notifications need to be sent out, and then goes back to sleep.
It looks something like this (the Timer class is from the System.Threading namespace):
public partial class MyService : ServiceBase
{
    private Timer _timer;
    private int _timeIntervalBetweenRuns = 10000;

    public MyService()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
    {
        // when NT Service starts - create timer to wake up every 10 seconds
        _timer = new Timer(OnTimer, null, _timeIntervalBetweenRuns, Timeout.Infinite);
    }

    protected override void OnStop()
    {
        // on stop - stop timer by freeing it
        _timer = null;
    }

    private void OnTimer(object state)
    {
        // when the timer fires, e.g. when 10 seconds are over
        // stop the timer from firing again by freeing it
        _timer = null;

        // check for mail and sent out notifications, if required - works just fine
        MailHandler handler = new MailHandler();
        handler.CheckAndSendMail();

        // once done, re-enable the timer by creating it from scratch
        _timer = new Timer(OnTimer, null, _timeIntervalBetweenRuns, _timeIntervalBetweenRuns);
    }
}

Sending the mail and all works just fine, and the service also wakes up every 10 seconds (in reality, this is a setting from a config file - simplified for this example).
However, at times, the service seems to wake up too quickly....

Any ideas why?? It's not a huge problem, but I'm concerned it might start to put too much load on the server, if the interval I configure (10 seconds, 30 seconds - whatever) seems to be ignored more and more, the longer the service runs.
Have I missed something very fundamental in my service code?? Am I ending up with multiple timers, or something?? I can't seem to really figure it out..... have I picked the wrong timer (System.Threading.Timer) ? There's at least 3 Timer classes in .NET - why?? :-)

A: Actually, the issue seems to be I picked the wrong timer class.
With the System.Threading.Timer, I have those issues I explained in my original question.
When I switched to System.Timers.Timer, all those issues went away.
So this still begs the question: why on earth are there at least three different Timer classes in the .NET framework, and what are the (subtle) differences between them?

A: it is not obvious from looking at the code above, that you are getting multiple timers. but in my opinion that may be the case. because System.Threading.Timer implements IDisposable so instead of nulling out the variable you should call the dispose method instead.
MSDN says...

When a timer is no longer needed, use
  the Dispose method to free the
  resources held by the timer.

A: That's probably because the message pipeline.
Sometimes timer messages are sent, but not handled quickly enough, so they are stacked and processed in sequence.

transmission system operators (TSO) that control and maintain the transmission network and organize the redispatch.
It is shown in the literature that this system of electricity market design may yield significant decreases in total social welfare; see [2, 3] and the references therein. Thus, the natural question arises if and how different markets can be designed that yield higher welfare outcomes. This question is currently an active field of research and involves the investigation of alternative systems like the introduction of zonal pricing [3, 4] or nodal pricing [3, 5].
From a mathematical point of view, the study of different market designs may introduce the regulator or state as an additional agent that decides on certain questions like, e.g., the specification of the actual price zones in zonal pricing or the specification or regionally differentiated network fees. Since the regulator or state anticipates the influence of his decisions on the actions of all other agents, such a rigorous mathematical modeling has important implications on the overall model, since the decisions of the regulating agent couples all other levels of the system, yielding a (typically mixed-integer) multilevel optimization; cf., e.g., .
These models are extremely hard to solve [7, 8, 9]. Hence, there is a politically and social need to develop new mathematical theory and algorithms for solving realistic instances of these models.

American Antiwar Movement Plans an Autumn Campaign Against Policies on Afghanistan
By James Dao at New York Times
A restive antiwar movement, largely dormant since the election of Barack Obama, is preparing a nationwide campaign this fall to challenge the administration's policies on Afghanistan.
Anticipating a Pentagon request for more troops there, antiwar leaders have engaged in a flurry of meetings to discuss a month of demonstrations, lobbying, teach-ins and memorials in October to publicize the casualty count, raise concerns about the cost of the war and pressure Congress to demand an exit strategy.
But they face a starkly changed political climate from just a year ago, when President George W. Bush provided a lightning rod for protests. The health care battle is consuming the resources of labor unions and other core Democratic groups. American troops are leaving Iraq, defusing antiwar sentiments in some quarters. The recession has hurt fund-raising for peace groups and forced them to slash budgets. And, perhaps most significant, many liberals continue to support Mr. Obama, or at least are hesitant about openly criticizing him.
"People do not want to take on the administration," said Jon Soltz, chairman of VoteVets.org. "Generating the kind of money that would be required to challenge the president's policies just isn't going to happen."
Tom Andrews, national director for an antiwar coalition, Win Without War, said most liberals "want this guy to succeed." But he said the antiwar movement would try to convince liberals that a prolonged war would undermine Mr. Obama's domestic agenda. Afghanistan, he said, "could be a devastating albatross around the president's neck."
But there is also a sense among some antiwar advocates that Mr. Obama's honeymoon with Democrats in general and liberals in particular is ending. As evidence, they point to a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll showing that 51 percent of Americans now feel the war in Afghanistan is not worth fighting, a 10-point increase since March. The poll had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.
"We're coming out of a low period," said Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the antiwar group Code Pink. "But as progressives feel more comfortable protesting against the Obama administration and challenging Democrats as well as Republicans in Congress, then we'll be back on track."
The Obama administration has opposed legislation requiring an exit strategy, saying it needs time to develop new approaches to the war. "Given his own impatience for progress, the president has demanded benchmarks to track our progress and ensure that we are moving in the right direction," a White House official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The October protest schedule is expected to include marches in Washington and elsewhere. But organizers acknowledge that it may be difficult to recruit large numbers of demonstrators. So groups like United for Peace and Justice are also planning smaller events in communities around the country, including teach-ins with veterans and families of deployed troops, lobbying sessions with members of Congress, film screenings and ad hoc memorials featuring the boots of deceased soldiers and Marines.
"There are some that feel betrayed" by Mr. Obama, said Nancy Lessin, a founder of the group Military Families Speak Out. "There are some who feel that powerful forces are pushing the president to stay on this course and that we have to build a more powerful movement to change that course."
The October actions will be timed not only to the eighth anniversary of the first American airstrikes on Taliban forces and the seventh anniversary of Congressional authorization for invading Iraq, but also an anticipated debate in Congress over sending more troops to Afghanistan. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the commander of American forces in Afghanistan, is widely expected to request additional troops, beyond the 68,000 projected for the end of the year, after finalizing a policy review in the next few weeks.
The antiwar movement consists of dozens of organizations representing pacifists, veterans, military families, labor unions and religious groups, and they hardly speak with one voice. Some groups like Iraq Veterans Against the War have started shifting their focus toward Afghanistan, passing resolutions demanding an immediate withdrawal of troops from there. Others, like VoteVets.org, support the American military presence in Afghanistan, calling it crucial to fighting terrorism.
And some groups, including Moveon.org, have yet to take a clear position on Afghanistan beyond warning that war drains resources from domestic programs.
"There is not the passion around Afghanistan that we saw around Iraq," said Ilyse Hogue, Moveon.org's spokeswoman. "But there are questions."
There are also signs that some groups that have been relatively quiet on Afghanistan are preparing to become louder. U.S. Labor Against the War, a network of nearly 190 union affiliates that has been focused on Iraq, is "moving more into full opposition to the continuing occupation" of Afghanistan, said Michael Eisenscher, the group's national coordinator.
"President Obama risks his entire domestic agenda, just as Johnson did in Vietnam, in pursuing this course of action in Afghanistan," Mr. Eisenscher said.
Handfuls of antiwar protestors can still be seen on Capitol Hill, outside state office buildings and around college campuses. Cindy Sheehan, for instance, has set up her vigil on Martha's Vineyard while Mr. Obama vacations there. But many advocates say a lower-key approach may be more effective in winning support right now.
An example of that strategy is an Internet film titled "Rethink Afghanistan," which is being produced and released in segments by the political documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald. In six episodes so far, Mr. Greenwald has used interviews with academics, Afghans and former C.I.A. operatives to raise questions about civilian casualties, women's rights, the cost of war and whether it has made the United States safer.
The episodes, some as short as two minutes, are circulated via Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and blogs. Antiwar groups are also screening them with members of Congress. Mr. Greenwald, who has produced documentaries about Wal-Mart and war profiteers, said the film represented a "less incendiary" approach influenced by liberal concerns that he not attack Mr. Obama directly.
"We lost funding from liberals who didn't want to criticize Obama," he said. "It's been lonely out there."
Code Pink is trying to build opposition to the war among women's groups, some of which argue that women will suffer if the Taliban returns. In September, a group of Code Pink organizers will visit Kabul to encourage Afghan women to speak out against the American military presence there.
And Iraq Veterans Against the War is using the Web to circulate episodes of a documentary, "This Is Where We Take Our Stand," filmed in 2008 at its Winter Soldier conference, at which veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan testified about civilian casualties, combat stress and other tolls of the wars.
The group's leaders say they do not expect many people to take to the barricades against the administration any time soon. But that will change, they argue, as the death toll continues to rise.
"In the next year, it will more and more become Obama's war," said Perry O'Brien, president of the New York chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War. "He'll be held responsible for the bloodshed."
