old students who are drop-outs from the comprehensive schools
because they lacked the money to pay high school tuition. The
school attempts to teach each boy and girl a skill or trade
suitable to earning a living in this small English speaking West
African country. The school is GROSSLY INADEQUATE and the
facilities and equipment used in the instructional process are
either antiquated, in poor repair, or non-existent. (For
example, a computer class was using an early model of the WANG
Word Processor. We have gotten rid of this, and now use a single
IBM 286 in a class with ten students.)
F A C E S seek thirty computers (and additional components,
listed below) to be used for instructional purposes in its
adopted school in The Gambia. These computer materials may be
old or out of date as any materials will be useful (i.e. 286 or
386 computers/laptops, old versions of software etc.). It is
hoped that the computers can be shipped in time to be installed
and dedicated on May 18th (the dedication date of the computer
center).
Computers (30) preferably laptops
(they are less expensive to ship)
Printers (10-15)
Any assorted other hardware
(cables, mice, scanners, modem/fax cards, etc.)
Software
(preferably useful educational and wordprocessing materials)
F A C E S will also establish a media and instructional
technology center at the Presidential Award Scheme School. All
kinds of technical equipment, normally used in American Schools
are needed here. Especially needed, in addition to the
computers, are copiers, film and slide projectors and a number of
other items (listed below) to improve the quality of the
instruction process. At present, there is none of the equipment
which we take for granted, to assist the teachers in the
educational process. We therefore plan to present the school
with the following equipment to be used by teachers, students and
administrators to achieve the goals of the school. The
Instructional Technology Center will be housed in the library,
and have available for school use, the following:
Copier(s)
Overhead projector(s) Tape recorder(s) / player(s)
VHS VCR(s) and monitor(s) Audio tape player(s)
8mm film projector(s) Fax machine (administrative)
Slide projector(s) Opaque projector(s)
Film strip projector(s) Transparency machine(s)
Additionally, financial assistance with shipping costs (for
the above items and the computers)is also needed.
F A C E S is a 501(C) (3) organization and donations are tax
deductible to the extent permitted by law. Donations to
F A C E S will be acknowledged with a letter that can be used for
tax purposes, and the items given, once reconfigured will be shipped
to The Gambia to improve the quality of the learning experiences
for West African children.
On behalf of F A C E S, Inc. and the children who will
benefit from your donations, thank you. For more information on
F A C E S and its programs, contact Dr. Manuel H. Pierson at

Ah so that's where you've been hiding. I found rysher's web page and
noticed that they have an upcoming show schedule. The last 5 and the
first episode of next season are TBA. Does this mean we have a 5th season?

Actually, if you really want to nit-pick, B'Lanna was originally Star

Hi Channon!!
Sure, been here for years....just not as active on the TV/Movie
side of the house as I am with the book side, is all! :>
I've watched Chris since his first msg....and have started looking
into card shops for this really, really large sympathy card for
Nicolai! She has the patience of a saint, she does!! :)
CL> Now, back on topic....Whatd'ya think of B5 last night??? Did you
CL> watch VOYAGER--the new one, that is...?
Btwn you and John Kahane, who keep telling me that B5 HAS gotten better
since season 1, I've been meaning to check it out. Wasn't til this
week, Thursday in fact, that I finally looked through the whole TV
guide and discovered that it's no longer on Sundays, but now on
Wednesdays. So if I remember next Wed. I'll check it out and see if
I can tolerate the acting. :>
As for V'ger....nope....forget it....can't take any of them. Plots
are stupid, Janeway should be courtmartialed, and keep waiting for
a superior captain w/ a superior ship to blown V'ger outta the
spaceways! (But then again, I felt that way with TNG when it
first started, being one of them "Nothing can replace Kirk & Company"
fanatics....I got better!)
