On April 15th, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
reissued a cautionary warning to users of fifteen-passenger vans. The
agency notified consumers of an increased rollover risk under certain
conditions. A similar warning was issued in May of 2001, when the NHTSA
warned motorists that 15-passenger vans with ten or more occupants are
three times as likely to roll over in crashes than 15-passenger vans that
are lightly loaded.
Despite the agencys efforts last year to warn the public about the vehicles
handling characteristics, accidents involving 15-passenger vans have continued.
Most recently in April 2002, a 15-passenger van carrying day-care clients
drifted off a Memphis interstate into a highway overpass, killing four
young passengers. While alleged drug usage by the driver appears to be
an issue in this accident, public and media focus on the use of these
large vans is intense.
Federal Regulations
While the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act prohibits the
sale or lease of any new vehicle with a capacity of more than 10 to a
school or school district, many schools still utilize 15-passenger vans
by purchasing them used. There has been no federal action to ban the use
of these vans by camps, youth programs, or religious organizations.
However, some states have taken action against the use of 15-passenger
vans for commercial or interstate transportation of children. Camps should
check with the Department of Transportation in their state, or in states
through which they must travel, to ascertain current regulations.
Safety Conditions
Automobile experts claim vans have suspensions that raise them high above
the road, and as a result, they have a very high center of gravity. In
addition, many 15-passenger vans are on the same wheelbase as 12-passenger
vans. This combination creates a vehicle that does not handle as well
as a car and can be unsafe in certain conditions, particularly with an
inexperienced driver. Because of these characteristics, in-vehicle training,
which includes driving the vehicle both loaded and unloaded, is essential
for drivers of these vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is
investigating the Memphis accident, has urged states to stop schools from
using 15-passenger vans. In an effort to prevent deaths and injuries during
this summers heavy driving season, the head of the NHTSA recently held
a news conference to remind people that vans should be operated only by
trained and experienced drivers. The NHTSA also encourages all van occupants
to wear seat belts. These recommendations were further underscored by
a 60 Minutes II exposé on vans, which aired on CBS April 2002.
Pending Action
Although the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) would
like to take additional action to ensure restricted use of 15-passenger
vans, its jurisdiction is limited, thus encouraging states to review the
vehicles use. In addition to issuing a consumer advisory, the NHTSA is
considering guidelines to require the vans to pass more-stringent rollover
tests, which NHTSA is currently working to devise.
Congress is considering H.R. 3296, introduced by Rep. Mark Udall (D-CO),
a bill regarding the use of nonconforming vans in public schools. H.R.
3296 would prohibit the purchase, rent, or lease, of a vehicle for use
as a school bus that does not comply with the motor vehicle safety standards
that currently apply to school buses. The legislation would essentially
close the loophole allowing schools to purchase used vehicles. In Udalls
proposal, a school bus is defined as any vehicle that transports more
than eleven students. If passed, H.R. 3296 would ensure that all 15-passenger
vans used to transport students pass a national safety test. The proposed
legislation was referred to the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade
and Consumer Protection in late December 2001, although a hearing has
not yet been scheduled.
At a local level, 29 states have taken action by ruling school districts
cannot use nonconforming buses to transport children, and most other states
have legislation pending. In addition, in Colorado, the largest insurer
for public schools will stop covering 15-passenger vans purchased after
June, and is gradually phasing out coverage of these vans over the next
five years.
What Should Camps Do?
The American Camping Association strongly encourages its members to fully
evaluate transportation programs. While it may be unreasonable to immediately
replace 15-passenger vans now in use, all camps can take steps toward
risk reduction. Such steps may include, but are not limited to the following:
Driver Tips
ACA is collecting additional data on the van issue and on the availability
of driver training programs camps can access. Check ACAs Web site for
updates: www.ACAcamps.org/publicpolicy.
In the meantime, we urge camps to develop key messages about camp safety
in transportation and share them with parents. If you havent already
done so, establish a five-year plan for transportation that will address
vehicle use, driver training, and risk reduction to provide the safest
possible transportation for campers and staff.

Video: Baylee Dion's Parents Speak after Kellogg Sentencing
Video: Danielle Kellogg sentenced to 15 years in jail
Video: Danielle Kellogg Speaks in Court Before Sentencing
Video: Woman Sentenced in Fatal DWI Crash that Killed Infant
BUFFALO, NY - A Brant woman who killed a seven-month-old baby and seriously injured the baby's mother in a car crash last year will spend the next several years behind bars.
Danielle Kellogg was sentenced to 15 years in prison, the maximum sentence allowed. Kellogg pleaded guilty in March to 1st Degree Vehicular Manslaughter.
Prosecutors said in court that Kellogg had marijuana, cocaine and alcohol in her system at the time of the crash.
Baylee Dion died from her injuries.
Although Kellogg was sentenced to 15 years, it's an indeterminate sentence, so she could be eligible for parole in 5 years; however, Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita said, based on the parole board's history, he believes she will serve at least 10 years behind bars.

Brooklyn (A) of the New York-Penn League
Manager: Rich Donnelly
Pitching Coach: Frank Viola
Hitting Coach: Bobby Malek
Trainer: Kiyoshi Tada
Strength Coach: Allison Salter
I touched on this staff when it was first announced at the end of January, but the striking thing is the very experienced Donnelly shepherding Viola, taking his first shot at coaching professionals with Malek, who's been working his way through the Mets organization a level a year as a hitting coach moving from the GCL to Kingsport to Brooklyn.
The other thing is that this team will have a female strength and conditioning coach. I can't recall ever seeing that before although Deb Iwanow has been a trainer in the Mets organization for a few years now.
Kingsport (R) of the Appalachian League
Manager: Frank Fultz
Pitching Coach: Jonathan Hurst
Hitting Coach: Luis Rivera
Trainer: Margaret Rall
Strength Coach: Roderick Richard
– Frank Fultz worked as the Mets Rehabilitation Pitching Coordinator last year after serving as the GCL pitching coach in 2009. Before joining the Mets, he served as a strength and conditioning coach for the Braves for 17 years. He's worked in pro-ball as a strength coach for the Astros and Pirates 1986-91. He was the head coach at Texas Wesleyan College for six years and took that team to the NAIA DII championship in each year, and also worked as a pitching coach at Triton College ('76-'77) and George Mason ('78).
– Hurst is back in Kingsport for his second straight year. He was in Savannah in '07 and '08, but was sent to the GCL in '09. I've heard the team values his teaching abilities and his work with young hurlers.
– Rivera made the transition from player to coach in the middle of last season. He hit .217/.250/.233 in 21 games for the Gnats in the first half of last year at age 26 while playing all over the diamond including a few games at first, second, third, short. Essentially, he was an additional coach on the field. I'm a big fan of Rivera's. I know he spent plenty of time last summer working with Aderlin Rodriguez on his defense at third.
GCL Mets (R) of the Gulf Coast League
Manager: Luis Rojas
Pitching Coach: Mark Brewer
Hitting Coach: Yunir Garcia
Coach: Joel Fuentes (Second Half)
Trainer: Eric Velazquez
Strength Coach: Eugene Dalid
– Rojas was the fourth coach on the Gnats last season, so it's nice to see him get his own team as he enters his fifth season with the organization. Rojas, Felipe Alou's son, was the manager of the Marlins' DSL team in 2006. Expect to see him rise steadily through the Mets organization.
– Brewer's the veteran voice on this staff, having been in AA last year. He's been a Rehab Coordinator for the Pirates (2009), the Latin American Pitching Coordinator for the Mets (2008) while working as the AAA pitching coach, a coach in AAA for the Royals and the Dodgers Minor League Pitching Coordinator from 2001-2004.
– This is the first stateside assignment for Yunir Garcia who managed the Mets' DSL2 team last year. It was his first managerial experience after working as a coach for the team's VSL affiliate in '08 & '09. Garcia, a minor league catcher, reached AAA with the Mets for nine games in 2006. All told, he was a career .204/.340/.317 hitter in three VSL seasons and five US based seasons.

The Monkees may have started as an act for a television show, but they wound up being a bona fide quartet of late 1960's bubblegum pop. Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones continued to record as a legitimate musical act after the two year series they starred in was canceled. Turning out timeless hits "I'm a Believer," "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone," "Daydream Believer," "Last Train to Clarksville" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday," The Monkees are forever ingrained in TV and music history with their Beatle-esque overtones. Take this opportunity to see the immortalized talent and history live in concert; purchase your The Monkees tickets today!
The unconventional beginning of The Monkees led to an equally unconventional career. Following the end of their TV series and at the start of their solely music career, the band brushed elbows with some of the top musical talent of the time. Through use of session musicians the band teamed with Neil Young, Carole King and even Neil Diamond. While touring England the band spent time with and were given a party by The Beatles. The friendships forged with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr during this time would continue over the years. The Monkees struggled to maintain a sense of artistic control over their music through the years. Often they were left out of the loop by their management even regarding the release of their albums. After they gained musical independence in 1967, The Monkees released "Headquarters" before slowly growing apart. While they continued to release albums like "Instant Replay" and "Justus," the members came and went, broke up and reunited in an ebb and flow. Though the members of the band focused on solo projects, they just could not help drifting back together to reunite time and again.
A great concert experience for the whole family, reviews from concertgoers celebrate The Monkees as an icon of pop culture and holler "amazing!" Join the legions that are in the know and get the chance to experience The Monkees live in concert. Tickets sellout fast, so make certain to get your The Monkees concert tickets today!

Unless you kept it local this holiday season, you most likely had to deal with the following clothing conundrum at least once during the past month: what to wear when traveling? Of course, there are many correct responses to the aforementioned question, so we figured we'd let some of our favorite celebrities illustrate a few fashionable answers. After all, whether you have impending work trips or wonderful winter getaways planned, everyone can benefit from a little airport-outfit advice! Our suggestion is simple: to travel in style and ensure a hassle-free flying experience (at least where your wardrobe is concerned), just follow these famous femmes' fashion rules. We can't promise that you'll get to the gate on time, but we are certain that you'll look darling when you get to your final destination. So make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in the upright position because we're about to show you how to take-off on-trend in today's edition of WTW: Airports!
1. Warm and luxurious layers are wise!
Though this may seem like an obvious tidbit of advice we really cannot underscore the utter importance of arming yourself against the blustery weather and airborne climate changes with cozy and easy-to-layer pieces. Whether it's a big scarf (à la Lauren Conrad's Wrap Scarf with Fringe ($85) from Love Quotes, which she wore at LAX), a chic coat (like Ms. Biel's Mackage Raffy Trench Coat ($490) in Vancouver or Kate Hudson's greige garment at LAX), or a posh poncho (Rihanna's Baby Alpaca Fair Isle Sweater ($648) from Yigal Azrouel can't be beat), lots of lovely layers are the way to go. If you happen to be flying during the warmer months (as Penelope Cruz did last spring) or between two temperate locales, you can rock a lighter coat like Silence & Noise's Motorcycle Jacket ($58). Just make sure you've got a hot hat like Shopbop's Thick Knit Beret ($58) or their Felt Fedora ($78) to cover up any bed head after a little in-flight snooze!
2. Easy to slip off shoes are a must!
Considering the ever-changing nature of airport security procedures, we can undoubtedly recommend that you opt for an easy-to-slip-on pair of shoes. For our money, boots are best, especially if they're sans fussy zippers or buttons. Take some sole suggestions from Conrad and Biel, by picking up Chloe's Flat Leather Boots ($900), or try Forever 21's Zar Double Zip Boots ($27) for a great variation on Rihanna's gray boots. Of course, if you are devoted to your favorite sneaks, we recommend you pick up Cruz's classic Converse Chuck Taylor Low Sneakers ($40) to keep things casual and cool.
3. Grab a bag and sunglasses before you go!
Finally, we would never forget the top two all-important travel accoutrements: sunglasses and a multi-purpose satchel. After all, you need a chic schlepper when you're on the move! Cruz was spotted wearing a celebrity favorite tote, the Sofia Coppola for Louis Vuitton Suede Asphalt Bag ($3730, 866.VUITTON), while Ashley Olsen's patchwork shoulder bag is also a nice noir number. If you are fans, try Steve Madden's Bweave Paris Bag ($98) or Bottega Veneta's One Zip Tote ($1650). Finally, shades to complete the look: try Michael Kors' Oversized Sunglasses ($235) or A.J. Morgan's Binocle Round Sunglasses ($20) and you'll be seeing nothing but clear skies and arriving (or departing!) in style!

Great news - it was announced this morning that "Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death" has been nominated in the Short Animation Award Category at this year's Baftas!
"A Matter of Loaf and Death" goes up against "Codswallop", created by Aardman directors Brothers McLeod, and "Varmints" by Sue Goffe and Marc Craste.
Jonathan Ross will host this year's ceremony, to be held at the Royal Opera House in London on 8 February. To find out more about the Bafta Awards visit: http://www.bafta.org/
Oh Wow! Brilliant! They deserve it! They have 2 win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations Aardman!
aww second to post that meens its useless me postng
on the lighter side... YAY GO AARDMAN!!!! and can i ask, does aardman ever use the same plastesine in different movies or do u either keep them for the same characters later or bin them?
i think i need to change ma avatar
that is soo coool, They really deserve it!
Good luck! Although they might not get it!
no competition,wallace and gromit will win it!
Wallace and gromit you ROCK
i cant see how they will not win
There is a slight chance but they should! Everyone says it was too short! I think it should have been 45 mins
ALL THE VERY, VERY BEST TO YOU, W&G and The Almighty Nick P!!!!!!!!
Ikea or Argos should brace themselves for a job-lot order for display shelves!!!
The ANP - Please wear your lucky bow tie...or any other attire that you regard as lucky - on the night!
Personally, I wish it was someone other than Jonathan Ross hosting the BAFTA's - but the ANP will no doubt outshine him by his good example!
Yay!!! Go Wallace and Gromit . I do hope W&G win a BAFTA! Well done Aardman!
Fantasic! But I thought they were too late to be nominated for a bafta?
Wall-e got nominated too! Now that's bound to win a bafta!
that was the oscars sammy the lamb
I was extremely shocked to hear that he was presenting it, even after the deep water he has been in, it was just ing. Nick park will really outshine him!
Making of on the Bafta website. I saw it a long time ago but showing you it here...
OOOOOHHH! topbun! Thanks for the website link - janey mack! I wish those workshops would be open to older kids like me - tea-hee!
I've been scouring my local paper for animation workshops, exhibitions and stuff since I missed W&G's visit to Manchester UK when COTWR was about to hit the screens - albeit without the ANP that time, but there we go.
Please, Katie - please let us know of forthcoming exhibitions in Manchester, Stockport or any part of North West England. Nobody would want to miss out on a chance like that again
As for the BAFTAs - SHINE, THE ANP, SHINE THAT BAFTA AWARD AT THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT AND DON'T LET WOSSY BOTHER YOU!
Let's have more of these, the ANP!!!!!
No problem SockEye! I was really annoyed cos some of the children just look really bored! And I would think ohh I wish I was them!
go wallace and gromit. i guess this is jonathon ross' chance to make a comeback.
Good luck wallace and gromit!
The Almighty Terry Wogan should be hosting the BAFTAs - at least he's genuinely funny...and daft with it!
im so happy for aardman they have worked so had on the film. good luck
3 cheers for Aardman, hip hip. Hurray! hip hip. Hurray!
hip hip..... HURRAY!!!!!!
i agree sockeye, terry wogan or maybe someone who presents things regularly with some amount of respect from the nation and a mostly clean ( or clean sheet) on the behaviour side of things.
shame terry wogan is not doing the eurovision song contest this year,the votes are all political though.
They blocked the previev of " A Matter Of Loaf and Death " in germany but I could see it on Youtoube ! You tommys still have to learn a lot about germans...
Wow! I hope you win!
Good Luck!
hope u win
Yes the eurovision song contest isnt a song contest atall lol.The title of the show is very misleading...personally I think the show should be renamed which countrys have the most alliances contest lol......
The singing never seems to be anything to do with it these days...
What happened to an Academy Award nomination? Is Loaf & Death not elligable (released USA in 2008?)
has to be released in the states by december i believe, otherwise it doesn't qualify until next year's oscars.
still haven't seen it in canada. when's that going to happen? getting impatient already
I Hope You win
wallace and gromit are the greatest they will win easily cose they are the best gromit3:
Hey I Love wallace and Gromit!!! I love Cheese!!! But I dont know what BAFTA is, I live in America. Guess I will look it up
i love wallace&gromit
but why is this
this is not goooooooooooooood
AugustMilli, the BAFTA (British Academy for Film and Television Arts)is a British award that holds just as much prestige as the Academy Awards in the USA. In Ireland, there is the IFTA (not affiliated as such to the BAFTA) and so on and so forth...
Hope this helps!
SockEyeSalmon, thank you very much for the information.
You are most welcome, AugustMilli!
PS: It would be a classic funny picture if the ASB (Almighty Steve Box) and the ANP (Almighty Nick Park) used their awards as actual masks!
javascript:ins('')Your website rocks!
When is your birthday wallace?
Topbun, I would definitely NOT be bored with an animation workshop - you and I would be goggle-eyed fascinated to be in the presence of such greatness, eh?!?!
Yep! Definitely! I would stare in amazement and get told off for touching them! Hehe!
AugustMilli replies to the above posts with a grand ole :lolol
Hi, I love wallace and Gromit
together forever

Mark Widegren (left) and Brian Axe (right)
Volunteers launched a search in the Nine Mile Canyon for two pipeline workers who have been missing since Saturday night.
The Carbon County Sheriff's Department and the Abby and Jennifer Recovery Foundation are helping to organize the search for Mark Widegren and Brian Axe, both 28 years old.
The two men were in the area working on a pipeline for W.C. Streigel Inc. They left work at 5:30 p.m. Saturday. They were last seen at the Silver Dollar bar in Price on Saturday night. They paid their bill at 11:30 and Axe called his wife to say they were leaving the establishment between 11:30 and midnight. They have not been heard from since.
When the men failed to arrive at work on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, they were reported missing by their families.
The men were driving a gold 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, with Colorado license plate 724-TDP. Law enforcement is hoping to begin an aerial search of the area but have been unable to do so because of poor weather conditions.

European Cluster Conference adopts Cluster Manifesto Objavljeno: 30/04/2012
A 3-day European Cluster Conference has been organised on 18-20 April in Vienna with great success. It was attended by more than 400 participants including policy makers, international experts and cluster practitioners coming from 50 different countries.
More than 55 speakers, panellists and moderators have presented their views on how excellent clusters can create more resilient industrial structures in Europe, promote innovation in a more sustainable way, and facilitate SME access to international markets. Striving for cluster excellence at all levels was a transversal issue and a number of prominent instruments have been presented with the aim to help cluster organisations becoming more professional and European clusters performing better.
A Vienna cluster manifesto has been prepared and voted at the end of the Conference to summarise the key messages and make the wider cluster community aware of the key results that have been achieved by the EU initiatives over the last three years in the area of cluster excellence and SME internationalisation. Moreover, the manifesto includes a number of concrete recommendations addressed to cluster stakeholders at all levels on taking up and integrating these results into their policy agenda. In his closing speech, the Deputy Director General of DG Enterprise and Industry Mr Antti Peltomäki has welcomed the intentions of these EU initiatives to pursue their work in the future in a more sustainable and inclusive way for the benefit of all clusters in Europe towards more excellence and international cooperation.

This is the final article of my series on Dehydrated Foods in which I discussed: The Advantages Of Storing Dehydrated Foods, How To Store Bulk Foods, What to Store, and How Much to Store.
Right now an unprecedented number of Americans are returning to a practice of our self-reliant and independent forefathers: Storing supplies of food. The events and circumstances we are facing here in America are unfamiliar to most of us. But they are so serious that we each must choose wisely how we will face our future. You can't control earthquakes, floods, or the real estate meltdown, but if you have food and water reserves you will have personal solutions to how these things affect you and your family.
History has proven over and over again that food and water is the solution to almost every major problem, particularly those involving independence, freedom, security, and yes, even survival. Runaway inflation in 1923 Germany followed the same inflationary path that the United States is presently on. With runaway inflation the price of a loaf of bread doubled daily until it cost so much that it was impossible to purchase.
Just recently, the National Inflation Association released a report with projections of future U.S. food price increases due to the massive monetary inflation being created by the Federal Reserve's $600 billion quantitative easing. This report was written by NIA's President Gerard Adams, who believes food inflation will take over in 2011 as America's greatest crisis. According to Adams, "making mortgage payments will soon be the last thing on the minds of all Americans. We currently have a currency crisis that could soon turn into hyperinflation and a complete societal collapse."
This is one of the primary reasons that more and more Americans are putting away supplies of food and water. It always has been, is now and forever will be that food and water are what we depend on the most to survive and having plenty of each is the most comforting source of safety and security for every human being on our planet.
Let's look at a few other good reasons to build your food reserves….
- Legislation to prevent people from gardening is being proposed and a Doomsday Seed Vault is being built in Norway with the intent of being the only source for seed to grow food worldwide.
- Global warming — whether real or fabricated — will likely be used to control fertilization of crops and tax many farmers out of business.
- Christians searching the Book of Revelation believe that there will come a day when no one will be able to buy or sell without the "mark" (most consider this the ID card.) The National ID card is expected to be required in order to buy food.
- Imported food from countries with no safety standards for insecticides, fertilizers, bacterial and chemical contamination have entered our country's food supply and have proven to be very dangerous. Storing safe, clean food is essential.
- The financial and emotional impact of job loss and illness are hugely reduced with a strong savings account in the form of food.
- In the case of quarantines, martial law, disasters and emergencies, if people do not have their own individual supplies, they will be dependent and helpless like the miserable conditions people faced after hurricane Katrina.
- With a food supply you can help your neighbors, family members, or anyone in need.
- Storms and weather could make food impossible to transport, destroy crops and isolate some people from food supplies.
- The gasoline prices are predicted to reach $5.00 per gallon in the near future. When this happens the price of food will go up by about one third. It will put trucking companies out of business and make it almost impossible to get necessary supplies needed for everyday life.
In any of these scenarios, the most valuable asset or currency you will have is food and water. It will be more precious than gold, silver or cash. Having food and water reserves is our greatest need. Let's face it, when you're hungry, nothing else matters.
Alternative Cooking And Other Equipment Needed
Another thing to consider is alternative sources of heat and cooking equipment. Make sure you have a propane stove with enough propane for three to 12 months, and don't forget the matches. Store a lot of them. (Two large boxes per month.) A wood stove is a big investment, but it will come in real handy if there is no heat or power because you can also cook on the top of the stove. Any other outdoor or camping stove will work as well.
Menu Planning
It is very important to plan out one week of menus and calculate all the ingredients used for every recipe. These menus should all be your favorite recipes and only what you know your family will eat. When you are finished with the menu, then multiply the ingredients used by 12 (because there is approximately 12 weeks' worth of meals in a three-month period of time, give or take a few days). That is how much you will need to store of each item.
These foods would get you by in a short-term emergency without having to change your diet and run the risk of getting sick from foods you are not used to eating. For a one-year supply of food, multiply the ingredients by 52 weeks. I recommend that you add pre-packaged convenience foods like eFoods. I will explain how to order them at the bottom of this article.
One-Week Menu Planning Chart
This chart is a sample to help you plan a week's worth of menus and itemize all of the ingredients you'll need to purchase to have a 3-month supply of the foods that you normally eat. This chart came out of my book, Food Storage 101. Where do I begin? Make your own charts for every day of the week. You must tailor your list to your family's eating habits and according to the way you normally eat. If you are using eFoods or convenience meals, just insert the name of the meal into the dinner menu plan.
How Much Of The Bread Baking Ingredients Does It Take To Make Bread?
I want to get you thinking about how much food it would take to sustain life for an extended period of time. I did the calculations on how much of the bread baking ingredients it would take to make one loaf of bread per day per family and it was shocking. I took my favorite recipe and calculated all the ingredients. It makes two loaves of bread per batch. I need 90 loaves for a 3-month supply of whole wheat bread. If you have a larger family, you might need two loaves per day.
Keep in mind that homemade whole-wheat bread is different from store-bought bread. Most families can eat an entire loaf at one meal, combining it with a pot of soup or casserole of some kind.
This is what I found out:
For a 3-month or 12-week supply I will need to store this amount:
- 30 cups of powdered milk
- 11½ cups honey or sweetener
- 3 cups salt
- 15 cups vegetable oil
- 6 cups dried egg
- 6 cups of dried yeast
- 20 gallons whole wheat flour or (combination of white and whole wheat)
For a 1-year or 52-week supply I will need to store this amount:
- 8½ gallons of powdered milk
- 3 gallons of honey or sweetener
- 13 cups salt
- 4 gallons of vegetable oil
- 1¾ gallons of dried egg powder
- 1¾ gallons dried yeast
- 82 gallons of whole-wheat flour or a combination of (white and whole wheat flour) this equals approximately 16½ 5-gallon buckets.
This is a lot of food and ingredients for making bread. Each family is different, and you must tailor your plan to fit your lifestyle, what your family eats and how much they eat. If you do not eat bread, then don't store the ingredients for bread. Use your own favorite recipes that can be made either with dehydrated, dried or canned foods that are storable.
Take into consideration that you will have fresh food in season, and if you grow a garden and bottle your own food, include these foods into your plan. Rotating the food will use up the products within the time of the shelf life. As you use them up, you will need to replenish the ingredients. It will take some planning. Each adult needs between 1,500 to 2,500 calories per day; especially those that are active, walking or working hard. A crisis is no time to change your diet.
The Best Way To Build Up A Food Reserve
I have been asked this question many times. "What is the quickest and easiest way to build up food reserves for three months to a year?"
Here are my recommendations:
I've been testing a line of nutritious fast-and-easy gourmet meals by eFoods Global that will store for a minimum of 15 years. This company has a new concept in storable foods that are delicious, nutritious, affordable, clean and convenient for daily use. It reminds me of the pre-packaged food from the grocery store like soup mixes, Hamburger Helper® and Rice-A-Roni®.
Some of the features of eFoods Global are:
- The food is dehydrated from premium-grade, fresh raw fruits, vegetables, dairy products, grains, beans and legumes.
- All meals are complete with everything in them. All you do is add water.
- These meals can be used every day for fast, convenient and healthy food.
- There are no genetically modified (GMOs) foods in eFoods.
- There is no added monosodium glutamate (MSG).
- No imports from countries using illegal fertilizers and insecticides.
- No hydrogenated oils.
- They are packaged for long-term storage in Mylar® pouches.
The company lets you try before you buy; simply go to www.peggylayton.efoodsglobal.com and watch the three-minute video, and then click on TRY IT to receive three packages of sample food that will feed two to four people per package. All you do is pay $9.95 for shipping.
I am very impressed with their food. I like the fact that there is no MSG in the food. I am very sensitive to MSG and get sick within 20 minutes if I eat foods with this additive in it. I have never been sick eating the food from eFoods global.
It is dehydrated, not freeze-dried, so the prices are very reasonable. It only takes 15-20 minutes to cook and it's done, and the cooking instructions are on each package. The food is delicious.
I like to store them in the heavy-duty boxes they come in. However, another good way to store these meals is in a 5-gallon bucket with a tight-fitting lid.
The packages include soups like cheddar broccoli, Italian chicken, vegetable beef, tortilla, corn chowder, minestrone, chicken noodle, chili and potato cheddar. Entrée and other baking items include chicken pasta Alfredo, cheesy chicken rice casserole, beef stroganoff, au gratin potatoes, instant seasoned potatoes, pancake mix, corn muffin mix, cornmeal dumplings, granola, powdered milk, wheat bread mix and buttermilk biscuit mix.
The best part of this opportunity is that you can earn food credits and money by referring others. These weekly food credits can be redeemed for food, can be gifted to others and can be used as currency to purchase preparedness items in the forthcoming eFoods Global online shopping mall. I personally want to redeem my food credits for boxes of food to help my seven adult children in their efforts to stock up.
Please call me if you have any questions about the program. I can be reached at 435-835-0311 or cell 435-851-0777 in Utah. The website to check it out is http://www.peggylayton.efoodsglobal.com. Email me at email@example.com

Thanks to the recession-fueled boomlet of coupon-related programming, consumers are obsessed with clipping their way to discounts and freebies. In addition to coining a phrase, the TLC reality show "Extreme Couponing" showcases a variety of wily ways to score big at the register. But coupons are not for everyone. While I would love to have a lifetime supply of free toothpaste, I can't fathom hunting through print ads to land a price break—not to mention the elaborate organizational tools the show's stars employ to keep track of these valuable bits of paper. So thankfully mobile coupons offer an easier way to shop on the cheap. And it's gaining in popularity.
Digital marketing insight firm eMarketer reports that 20 million U.S. adults will redeem mobile coupons this year, and the company expects that number to nearly double by 2013. One thing that's helping the trend is the skyrocketing popularity of smartphones. By the end of 2010, there were 63.2 million people in the U.S. who own this type of phone, up 60 percent over the previous year, according to digital market research firm comScore. So it only makes sense for marketers to search for new ways to allow shoppers to grab a bargain on the go—no cutting or filing necessary. Integrating coupons into the mobile space is Extreme Couponing 2.0. And thanks to the prevalence of 2D barcodes, mobile couponing is quick and easy. And if that 2D code is a Tag, it's quick, easy and robust.
With Tag, your promotion is:
Dynamic. Rather than offering your customers a single promotion that will expire, Tag's customizable backend gives your coupon legs. For instance, a Tag showcased on a seasonal catalog can reflect current product offerings and different deals depending on when consumers scan it. Wanna goose sales of Halloween sweaters before trick-or-treat season passes you by? Implement a discount code with Tag. Then a few weeks later, you can signal the start of the Christmas season with an incentive on perfume gift sets. Same Tag, different offer.
Personal. Unlike the one-size-fits-all approaches you're stuck with for print coupons or some other 2D barcodes, Tag's Device ID allows you to get to know your customers and tailor offers for them. Every time someone scans a Tag from any of your promotions, Tag remembers that device. This allows you to note which campaigns each consumer scans and how often they do so, giving you the opportunity to customize their experience. For example, a first-timer might receive the standard advertised discount, while you could reward a repeat customer by navigating them to a special insider's deal or trunk show invitation.
Visible. Print coupons have limited reach. In order to hit your target consumers with a print campaign, it's likely that you'd have to place ads in each issue of multiple publications—and even then, only those within the newspaper's circulation will see your spot. On the other hand, 2D barcodes allow you to place your message anywhere: posters in high-traffic areas, billboards that loom over a large section of the city or in-store displays where shoppers might stop and notice a product they would have otherwise bypassed. With a single ad buy, your store stands to gain much more traffic.
Based on proximity. Since your customers could encounter your campaign anywhere from their couch to your aisles, Tag's Real-Time Location feature allows you to detect where shoppers are and craft appropriate messages for them. For the consumer who scans your Tag at home or on a billboard, you could direct them to a page that includes the location and directions to the closest store. For someone, who scans an in-store shelf-talker, Tag could supply a rain check if the product is out of stock at that location.
Easy. There are numerous ways to integrate discounts garnered through Tag with your POS system—and none of them require you to outfit your registers with proprietary scanners. When consumers scan Tag, you can choose to have them directed to a site with a 1D barcode that's compatible with your stores' scanners. Similarly, shoppers could be directed to a page with a discount code cashiers could enter to apply the discount. Finally, you could also have the discount automatically applied to the shopper's loyalty or membership account number—the lower price would then appear when shoppers swipe the loyalty card at checkout.
Free. Speaking of good deals, there is no charge for Tag and all of its cool features.
Thanks to Tag, coupons have gone from static relics to dynamic marketing tools.

Die Sammlungen. The Collections. Les Collections
Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart - Berlin
The collection of Erich Marx is closely bound up with the history of the Hamburger Bahnhof, the third largest division of the Nationalgalerie. Following the comprehensive remodelling of the former railway terminus by architect Josef Paul Kleihues and the construction of a large barrel-vaulted painting gallery to the east, the Museum für Gegenwart opened in 1996 with the Marx Collection as its very first exhibition. The core of the collection revolves around works by world-famous artists of the second half of the 20th century, such as Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly and Andy Warhol, from whom Erich Marx acquired groups of works of the highest quality. To this selection he continually added new works by contemporary male and female artists.
The Marx Collection is on view until 9th October in the west wing of the Hamburger Bahnhof, where groups of works by the US artists can be seen for the first time in close proximity to the pieces by Joseph Beuys. The character of this collection and its intelligent concentration on outstanding artists can be observed here in the works of Joseph Beuys, Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly. Individual pieces by Matthew Barney and Jeff Koons, as representatives of a younger generation, can also be seen. Above all, however, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to discover a different facet of Andy Warhol, who is represented not only by large-scale icons but also by 89 early, very delicate drawings from the years 1953 to 1960.
In the Kleihueshalle, where presentations of the Marx Collection are traditionally held, the exhibition "Black Mountain. An Interdisciplinary Experiment. 1933-1957" will be on display until 27 September. Like the preceding exhibition "The End of the 20th Century. The Best is Yet to Come", the "Black Mountain" show was developed out of the Marx Collection. "Das Kapital Raum 1970-1977", the environment by Joseph Beuys that was recently acquired by Erich Marx, goes on display next year. These partly temporary, partly permanently installed presentations show above all the intellectual dimension of the artworks in this outstanding collection.
The museum's core groups of works by the artists Anselm Kiefer, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, and Andy Warhol will go on display in the Kleihueshalle from 31 October.

Welcome to the 2015 Summer Fun Day Camp at Benedictine University!
Boys and girls ages 5-13 are invited to spend a fun-filled summer with us. Our program is designed to make sure each camper has lots of fun every day of the week by participating in a variety of interesting indoor and outdoor activities.
Your child will enjoy outdoor field activities such as soccer, relay races, sand volleyball, tug-o-war, and water activities.
Indoors, kids will have time for computers, reading, movies, arts/crafts and board games.
This year, we will also be incorporating a few hours per week of academic-based activities. This will be done in a very relaxed, fun format and supervised by state licensed teachers!
Our camper-to-staff ratio is 10:1. Our main goal is to provide a fun-filled, safe place for each and every camper.
Pick-up/drop-off location is at the Northeast corner of the Krasa Center Parking Lot, just to the South of the Village of Lisle-Benedictine University Sports Complex.
The weekly fee is $195. There is a second child discount of $10 per session. Camp runs from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Full session price will be charged regardless of whether child(ren) will attend all day. Children should be dropped off no later than 9:00 a.m. and picked up no later than 6:00 p.m.
Guardians will be charged $1 per minute for any late pick-ups.
The Summer Fun Day Camp qualifies for a U.S. Income Tax childcare deduction.
Refund Policy
To receive a full refund (minus $20 deposit), cancellations must be made by 4:00 p.m. the Thursday prior to the session. NO refunds will be issued for later cancellations. Cancellations can be made in person, by phone or e-mail.
For protection and easy identification, campers are REQUIRED to wear their official camp T-shirt every day. Extra T-shirts can be purchased for $10 each.
Campers should bring a nut free snack, water bottle, swimsuit, towel and backpack each day.
Please dress your child appropriately for the weather; gym shoes are required. All items should be labeled and carried in a small tote bag/backpack.
Lunch is provided each day in the University's cafeteria. Campers may bring a healthy, nut free snack, and a full water bottle is encouraged.
It is not necessary for a camper to bring any other items to camp. Other personal items brought for open recreation use (books, balls, gloves, etc.) are permitted, but these items will only be allowed during open recreation times and must be stored otherwise. All items should be marked with the camper's name.
Campers will be responsible for their own items. Electronic devices such as cameras, mp3 players or video game players are not allowed at camp. Any items which the Camp Director deems to be potentially dangerous, harmful or problematic are not allowed.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the philosopher Foucault's influential book 'Madness and Civilization'. In discussing the development of the concept of 'madness' as a consequence of the scientific rationality of the Enlightenment, it suggests that 'mental disorders' should be viewed as a social construction rather than the medical condition they are typically seen as within contemporary Western society.
Indeed, this is the view proposed by the controversial psychiatrist Szasz, who argues that mental illness is a myth, and that such diagnosis and forcible treatment is predominantly a means of social control. Indeed, compulsory psychiatric hospitalisation has historically been used in this way to oppress dissidents by various regimes across the world.
Although it may seem counter-intuitive in the age of Prozac, 'mental disorders' are much less well defined 'medical conditions' than they may first appear. The 'Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders' (DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association typically lists large number of symptoms for any given condition, and it is only necessary to present a small number of these in order to be diagnosed. Indeed, the difficulty in making such a diagnosis is illustrated by the classic psychological study of those being sane in insane places.
Furthermore, it can be seen that what constitutes a 'mental disorder' can vary both over time and culture. Perhaps obviously, drapetomania, the 'disorder' that caused black slaves to want to flee captivity, together with the woman specific 'disorder' of 'female hysteria', are not longer considered to be the problems they once were. Somewhat more surprisingly, however, is the fact that homosexuality was similarly regarded as a 'mental disorder' until as recently as the 1970s.
Conversely, 'post-traumatic stress disorder' (PTSD) was only defined following the Vietnam war, and the new condition of 'internet addiction' is a potential candidate for the forthcoming 5th edition of the DSM. The consequences of redefining 'normality' in this manner can have a dramatic effect as to how people are categorised. For example, the historical figure Joan of Arc, in claiming to hear voices from God, would nowadays be regarded as suffering from schizophrenia, rather than being considered a divine messenger.
Furthermore, a culture-bound syndrome such as 'koro', or 'genital retraction syndrome' (GRS), which occurs in parts of Africa and south-east Asia and involves the belief that one's external genitals are disappearing, may appear strange and somewhat unlikely to those used to Western 'disorders'.
A more familiar condition such as depression, however, can only be regarded as a 'disorder' if happiness and contentment are thought to be 'normal'. This is only a relatively recent expectation, with Freud himself concluding "that the intention that man should be 'happy' is not included in the plan of Creation".
From a cynical standpoint, it can be seen that pharmaceutical companies clearly have a lot to gain from promoting particular constructions of 'normality', as illustrated by the development of 'puppy Prozac' to treat the previously unidentified condition of 'separation anxiety' occurring in pet dogs.

easyJet is all set to celebrate a ten-year Scottish double.
The tenth anniversary of the launch of the airline's route to Glasgow from Belfast International Airport will be on Sunday 21 August.
And on 3 September easyJet will have completed ten years of flying from the airport to Edinburgh.
Over the decade, 3.1 million passengers have flown on the Glasgow route – and 2.9 million have been going to Edinburgh.
Ali Gayward, easyJet commercial manager, said: "We are delighted that our Glasgow and Edinburgh routes have both been very successful, and have helped make easyJet Northern Ireland's favourite airline.
"The two cities have always been big attractions for business people, holidaymakers going on short breaks or longer stays, and sports fans.
"There has also been significant business and tourism traffic from Scotland into Northern Ireland, and with our focus on making travel easy and affordable, and the introduction of products such as our new Flexi fare, we see this demand increasing."
Uel Hoey, business development director at Belfast International Airport, said: "We are delighted to be celebrating this milestone with easyJet as both Glasgow and Edinburgh have continuously featured in our Top 10 most popular routes. "easyJet truly revolutionised the traditional experience for the travelling public between Northern Ireland and Scotland when they launched these two routes in 2001.
"Today, we continue to observe easyJet's commitment to low fares and a flexible schedule, fortifying the long-established business and cultural links between the two cities and Northern Ireland."
easyJet's new service to Manchester will start on 21 October, and extra flights have been added to its Amsterdam and Geneva routes.
Next year, flights to London Southend will start on 2 April, adding to existing London services to Gatwick, Luton and Stansted.

Read: The Desperate Want To Make A Deal
10:51AM: Bob McKenzie says that the player mood last night was "dark" and that they don't like a five-year limit on contracts, 10 year CBA deal or that the $300 in make whole is tied to the CBA.
10:29AM: Bruce Garrioch says that the general feeling is that the two sides have come too far not to make a deal.
Pierre LeBrun writes at ESPN.com that the two sides "desperately" want to make a deal and cites how in the past when talks got heated they broke up, but last night the moderates in the room pushed for them to continue and they did.
Bob McKenzie, on TSN, says that something, positive or negative, is likely to happen before Christmas. He says that the tone is serious and both sides understand how critical the situation is and that blowing up talks now could mean blowing up the season.
Darren Dreger, on TSN, says that a lot of progress has been made but neither side is willing to say that a deal has been close.
