Today I received a sample of Lalula magnetic pads to try and let you know what I thought of it… Keep track of your weekly (daily) tasks for school, home work or whatever.
…..I am a member of Tomoson.com and receive samples of products to write reviews of those products..
With kids going back to school, it's time to get organized! Lulalu's striped weekly pad adds a fresh accent to your space while helping you own each day of the week. This nifty weekly calendar sticks to stainless steel fridges, glass, mirrors and more injecting a fresh does of personality and creativity into everyday spaces like the kitchen, office or even the bathroom! This calendar pad is perfect for keeping track of family schedules, daily chores, menu plans and more. Made in the USA.
- 50 sheets
- Sticks to any smooth, clean non-porous surface
- Reusable, non-toxic and leaves no residue
My THOUGHTS: The pads are so colorful, you can't help but see it on the fridge (or in my case, on my metal cabinet next to our computer desk) this way when my daughter gets home from school she see's it there… As soon as she has her "after school snack" she gets out her daily homework schedule, finds out what's due at the end of the week and writes it down. Projects that she can work on at home anyway.. This way, she see's how long she has to work on it and she can keep herself organized and this way I can see it also, and I can remind her, or at the least, ask her what I can do to help along the way to success.. It's a fabulous way to keep the "greased wheels going" in our family and keep her grades at the top.. Lulalu products make it SO MUCH EASIER for us to stay on top of schedules.. I like that we can get different products for different needs.
The catalog they sent me was packed full of all kinds of awesome products that are very affordable and very colorful to catch the eye.. NO way they can BLEND into the back ground.. Just go take a look for yourself… You'll see what I'm talking about and you too will want some for yourself.

Work on transit to India underway: Dipu Moni
Foreign Minister Dipu Moni has said that the issue of providing transit to India is going on at its own way as Bangladesh believes in regional connectivity.
In a recent interview with Barkha Dutt of the Indian private channel NDTV, Dipu Moni said "…..Transit is moving at its own pace. Yes, it hasn't been stuck anywhere. It's moving, our work is going because we, this is something we, believe in, because we believe in regional connectivity."
She also said the people of Bangladesh were disappointed when the Teesta agreement was not signed during the September visit of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Bangladesh.
She also said that providing transit was not a condition to Teesta deal.
"I don't think so. I don't think it's conditional on Teesta. But, definitely, having Teesta would, definitely, be helpful."
Dipu Moni also said Bangladeshi people became disappointed as the Teesta water sharing deal was not signed during Manmohan Singh's visit to Dhaka.
"Just before the visit of Dr Manmohan Singh to Dhaka, there was this expectation, and very high, that the Teesta Accord will be signed. Unfortunately, it didn't...," she said.

Latin America Research Center
The Latin America Research Center (LARC) was opened in Buenos Aires in 2000. The LARC was founded to satisfy strong interest on the part of the HBS faculty in this dynamic region. As a result, the LARC's work has greatly increased the volume of in-depth research and course materials that focus on business management issues specific to Latin American companies. In addition, the LARC has strengthened its relationships with important profit and not-for-profit constituencies throughout Latin America. Since its inception, the LARC has supported HBS faculty in developing over 80 research cases and projects on management and economic issues in Latin America. To further support research being carried out in this region, two senior researchers were placed in São Paulo and Mexico City.
The Latin American Case Consortium (LACC) is a program created by Harvard Business School Publishing, and supported by the LARC, to address the distribution and translation of academic material with partnering Latin American and Spanish business schools.

December 2005
Argentine confectionery manufacturer, Arcor Group, seeks to implement an international strategy but in 2003, recovering from the Argentine financial crisis, thwarts globalization plans. Already Latin America's leading candy producer and an exporter to over 100 countries, Arcor analyzes how it can become truly global with production facilities and distribution networks in various regions, such as North America, Europe, and Asia. First, however, Arcor must stabilize its operations at home, where a devalued peso, economic uncertainty, and political instability still linger from the devastating financial crisis.

I think this was a great recipe. I substituted colemans mustard powder and vinegar for the Dijon.I think a suace with heat that sneaks up on you is a real treat.flag if inappropriate
My favorite homemade sweet barbecue sauce. People always notice the bourbon flavor, but don't recognize it. I think it's better after it sits a few days, but I use it right off the stove all the time. Adjust the heat to your taste. I use it pretty much full strength. If you use hot paprika (vs sweet) then skip the hot sauce.flag if inappropriate
Couldn't taste the sauce because of the heat of tobasco. Will try only because it's Steve Raichlin and will leave out the hot.flag if inappropriate
Not very good. Paprika overwhelmed everything.flag if inappropriate
Very nice barbecue sauce! I used only one tablespoon of Tabasco in deference to my elderly parents, but it still had a pleasant kick.flag if inappropriate
This recipe was very easy and delicious! I didn't use hot chilli paste for our 2 year old daughter, but it still turned out great! This dish would definitely be added to our anual July 4th barbecue.flag if inappropriate
This is a delicious BBQ sauce - rich and spicy. No comparison to store-bought sauce!flag if inappropriate
Well, I followed most of this recipe, with the following exceptions: I used dark molasses because that is what I had on hand; used much more garlic powder, probably closer to 1 tablespoon than a teaspoon; I used more bourbon (Jim Beam), probably double what the recipe called for. The results: Wonderful. I made this for a friend and I, and used it for a pork tenderloin I did on the grill. It had a tanginess yet a kick from the bourbon. I used it on chicken breasts the next day, didn't think it did much for the chicken. I would definitely use it again on pork and would love to try it on beef.flag if inappropriate
Excellent Texas-Style (sweet) sauce. I think it's better after it sits in the fridge for a few days, but it's fine right off the stove, too. If you have store sauce in the fridge, you should throw it out and keep this sauce in the empty bottles.flag if inappropriate
Those that didn't like this sauce seem to lack the ability use the recipe as a point of departure and to adjust to taste. Recommended changes/enhancement: caramelized onions in lieu of powder. roasted red pepper balsamic vinegar with or in lieu of W. sauce, a little honey, shallot pepper...have fun! Wild Turkey 101 highly recommended! And use the Cooks Illustrated rib recipe (slow cook 4 hours @ 270 after brining)! Broke da mout!!!flag if inappropriate

School District 2 set to start budget talks in May
HONEA PATH - It won't be until next month that Anderson School District 2 starts its budget talks, officials said during the district's board meeting Tuesday.
The administration for the Honea Path-based school system will have a clearer idea then of the amount the South Carolina legislature will appropriate to fund public schools, officials said.
Tommy Chapman, superintendent for the district, told the board of trustees that education funding is still in question, while the state's budget goes up for debate in the Senate.
The South Carolina House of Representatives approved a budget in March that set the spending level per student at $2,012, up from $1,880 in 2011.
But the budget also called for a 2 percent pay increase for teachers, something many superintendents have said school districts can't cover, even with the additional money.
Chapman said he would like to see at least $2,100 per student to cover the cost of the raises.
"Right now, we're about $100,000 short to give the 2 percent increase," Chapman said. "We're hoping that the Senate will bring the number higher and closer to where we need it to be."
Other issues, including school vouchers, could also effect how much the state spends on education, Chapman said.
A proposed bill to give tax credits to parents who choose to home school their children or send their children to private schools would have an estimated $35 million price tag. That money could well come out of the budgets of K-12 education, as well as other state agencies, Chapman said.
District 2 covers the eastern part of Anderson County and serves the towns of Belton and Honea Path. With eight schools, including the Anderson One and Two Career and Technology Center, the district served nearly 3,700 students with a budget of more than $22.5 million in 2011.
Chapman said the administration hoped to have a better idea of where the House and Senate are in terms of budget talks later this month so it could present the board of trustees in May.
"We're continuing to monitor the whole process," he said. "We're operating at the whole level of infrastructure that we operated on last year. What happens going forward will depend on what happens in the legislature."

There are many pretty body art designs that are bright, colorful and cheering to behold but while female tattoo enthusiasts on the whole prefer more positive images their male counter parts are not afraid to show off their darker sides with the likes of skull tattoos. These are often chosen by bikers, whether these are members of a gang or simply motorbike enthusiasts who want a design that shows off their wild side and their love of life in the fast lane however these designs also represents the risks of living dangerously. In this respect they are often accompanied by additional images of a related theme however this particular design is most often combined with deadly insects like spiders and scorpions, snakes, daggers, flames and traditional cross bones. These can be depicted in a variety of differing ways, depending on the effect you wish to create whether you want a realistic grinning skull or a more light-hearted cartoon style version, and pretty much anything and everything in between.
Unfortunately, there are more negative connotations relating to skull tattoos than positive ones and it is most often synonymous with death however this does not necessarily mean that the wearer has a morbid fascination with macabre matters. Some individuals opt for this particular image simply to serve as a reminder that death is always waiting and that life has to be lived to the full while we can.
The skull image used on an illustration of the grim reaper is a popular way to express this particular sentiment although this particular version has also proved popular with those who have had a brush with death at some point. In this respect, using a skull in this manner would have much more positive connotations as it is representing a lucky escape and thus reminder the individual of the value of life. These are also used for memorial-style tattoos, to pay homage to a deceased friend, partner or family member and while this may seem like a rather dark way to pay homage to the deceased, adding a floral image like a rose or lily will brighten up this tribute considerably. In some cultures, the skull is deemed a symbol of good luck particularly those among the gambling fraternity as these are frequently used as a good luck talisman particularly after a streak of bad fortune. This particular charm is also used in this respect on key rings and jewelry as well as tattoos so if you are in a casino; see how many skulls you can spot and then watch closely to see if they have the desired effect on the wearer!
Many skull tattoos are depicted in natural shades of black, white and grey however there are a growing number of designs that inject a fusion of color into this image for a more vivid visual impact. Colorful skulls are available in a large number of different designs too particularly those with additional images incorporated like fire and flames, flowers, intricately detailed snakes with exquisite colored markings and articles of clothing like a cap or brightly colored bandana.

After being overweight since i was 13! i decided that both myself and hubby deserve a better me.
I run my own business, work full time and i am planning my sisters wedding !!!!
I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2011 and was told i would never conceve due to my weight (was only 79kg then !) I then went down a dark hole of depression for many many years. In 2012 i was dragged to another doctor by my best friend who told me that actually i would conceive if i lost weight and that the other doctor was an idiot. By that point i was well into my 90-100kg weight range. I started excersising and eating well even started Jenny Craig but i ended up loosing my job and couldnt afford to continue. My weight slowly kept creeping up and up until June 2014 when i met my Cambridge Angel Michelle of Kardinya Western Australia, my first weigh in i almost cryed, tipping the scales at almost 120kg and only being 155cm tall you can image how i look ! . I have been on the plan for 5-6 weeks now and have lost a total of nearly 10kg (hoping to tip the 10kg mark next week), My BMI is down something like 5 points and i have lost nearly 10cm around my stomach. ! i am amazed after trying so many diets and nothing worked. I go to the gym twice sometimes 2 times a week and i am well on my way to a happy future. Buying my first home, getting married and having children. I can see them all in my future now....... i couldnt before !
Hope to have more good updates for you soon. :) :)

Brownwood fires at will in shootout win over Snyder
SNYDER — A shootout was expected, and a shootout was delivered.
The only problem for Snyder was Brownwood did most of the shooting.
Leading by 15 at halftime, the Lions exploded with 34 second-half points to defeat the Snyder 61-20 in the Big Country Game of the Week.
Graylon Brown threw for 363 yards and seven scores to lead top-ranked Brownwood (8-0, 2-0 District 5-3A), which rolled up 554 yards in total offense.
Snyder, which dropped to 5-2 and 0-1 with the loss, was lead by Keenon Ward, who threw for 172 yards and rushed for 91 more.
"They've got a good football team — obviously," Snyder coach Chad Rogers said. "They pointed out some things that we weren't doing right, and we didn't do some of the things we needed to do."
One of those things would have been winning the turnover battle, which went to Brownwood by a 6-0 tally. Three Snyder fumbles and three interceptions led to multiple short fields for the Lions, who never trailed.
"The score was no indication of the team that Snyder has," Brownwood coach Bob Shipley said. "If we're lucky enough to get through district and win some playoff games, I predict we could meet up with Snyder again — they're that good."
Four second-half touchdown passes from Brown and 57-yard punt return by Jaxon Shipley put the game away for Brownwood.
This included a 63-yard screen pass to Levi Perez with 11:06 left in the third quarter, and a 44-yard scoring strike to Luke Chastain with 9:29 left in the game.
"The turnovers is something Snyder hasn't been doing," Shipley said. "I don't know how many of them were forced, but they're a very talented team and my hat is off to them for the job they did."
From the beginning, there was no shortage of action.
Brownwood opened the scoring on its first play from scrimmage, when Brown hit Jaxon Shipley with a 63-yard touchdown pass on a slant pattern.
It was the first of four Brownwood touchdowns before the half, the second of which came at the 9:45 mark of the second quarter when Brown hit Shipley with a 4-yard scoring pass.
A 5-yard touchdown run by Brown came at the 7:17 mark of the second quarter and a 9-yard touchdown pass from Brown to Luke Chastain sent Brownwood to the locker room with a 27-12 edge.
In the meantime, Snyder hurt itself with a combination of dropped passes, penalties and turnovers.
The Tigers briefly tied the score at 6 with 4:56 left in the first quarter, when Ward scored on a 7-yard quarterback keeper, capping an 11-play 72-yard drive.
But a pair of lost fumbles (one which led to a Lion touchdown), a dropped touchdown pass by Shade Roemisch on Snyder's opening drive, and 47 yards in penalties were all backbreakers.
Snyder cut the gap to 20-12 with 1:26 left in the first half, when Ward bolted 32 yards through the heart of the Brownwood defense for a score.
But the momentum was shattered when Shipley returned the ensuing kickoff 42 yards to the Snyder 23. Brown's touchdown pass to Chastain followed four plays later.
"We had a drive killed because of some penalties," said Rogers, whose club suffered through 10 flags for more than 80 yards on the night. "Then we had two turnovers, so we had three drives killed in the first half.
"You can't give up that kind of field position against a team like that and hope to win."

Apple is finishing up its scheduled Moscone West makeover, this time around hanging some of the best looking pieces of artwork ever used by the Mac maker.
In what undoubtedly gives us a big-scale sneak peek at iOS 7's graphics, the WWDC 2013 banners are now covering almost the entire west side of Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.
Should Jony Ive's iOS 7 overhaul prove to be a hit, Apple's WWDC 2013 graphics could become a cornerstone of design for years to come.
The panoramic image of Moscone West featuring WWDC 2013 has been shared by photographer Nick Thulin and 9to5mac. Further below you'll find a gallery filled with other great shots, this time courtesy of Macstories.
WWDC will start on Monday, June 10, at 10AM (San Francisco local time), and promises to yield two exciting software unveilings (iOS 7 and OS X 10.9), as well as several new Macintosh announcements.

Executive Committee
We are so lucky to have so many dedicated individuals as part of our team! We would not be able to spread the magic without our coordinators, counselors, general members, advisory board and camp staff! We really appreciate all of their help and support!
The 2014-2015 Executive Board of Camp Kesem has been responsible for shaping the beginnings of Camp Kesem at Case Western Reserve University. These individuals were selected through a rigorous interview process in order to ensure that we hold the best camp ever!
Tia "Muffins" Mullins
Tia Mullins is a senior studying Political Science and Medical Anthropology. She aspires to work in international health policy, as well as teaching children. This is her second year being a part of Camp Kesem and her first year as Co-Director. She is more than excited to be involved in such a rewarding organization and hopes to see it grow in the CWRU community in years to come.
Why She Kesems
"I joined Camp Kesem because I have a passion for helping kids. For these kids, there are not many resources available to help them during this difficult situation. Camp Kesem is the only organization that embraces this often-overlooked population. Through support and understanding, we provide an outlet and a sense of community for these kids that they might not otherwise have access to. Not only are we making an impact in these kids' lives, we are impacting their parents' lives as well. Parents might not be able to provide their children with the support and encouragement they need due to their battle with cancer, and that is what Camp Kesem is for. A stranger's kindness can go a long way, and I believe Camp Kesem makes a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer."
Pierce "Blue" Curran
Pierce Curran is a Junior from Setauket, New York on the Pre-Med Track with Majors in Biology and Psychology and Minors in Chemistry and Childhood Studies. He plans to take a year off after college to participate in an international service program before pursuing his career in medicine. When he isn't working hard on making Camp Kesem at CWRU the best organization on campus, he is involved with his Fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau, and in various other volunteer activities. He loves the Yankees, his dog Buddy, and singing his favorite camp songs as loud as possible.
Why He Kesems
"I Kesem because I know what it feels like to grow up with a parent affected by cancer. I was fortunate enough to have a loving family and support system to help me process my mother's diagnosis, but I know that not everyone is so lucky. I believe that Camp Kesem is an amazing opportunity for children like me to develop a supportive network of people who understand what they're going through and want to help in any way they can. After serving as a Director at camp last year, I got to see first hand the amazing impact that Camp Kesem can have on not only these children and their families, but also on the counselors. I can say with complete honesty that Camp Kesem has changed my life for the better, and I hope that our chapter will have the opportunity to change the lives of many more children as we continue to improve and grow."
Sanjana "Snickers" Soni
Sanjana Soni is a senior at CWRU with majors in Nutritional Biochemistry and Medical Anthropology. She aspires to attend medical school after graduating and become a pediatrician, as she finds happiness from giving back to children. She is excited to be a part of the Camp Kesem family for a 2nd year and meet more incredible kids. In addition, she is involved in Phi Delta Epsilon, Kappa Alpha Theta, research, and outreach service projects. In her free time, she likes to run, cook gourmet meals (like awesome tacos), and explore Cleveland.
Why She Kesems
"I Kesem because there is something magical about making a child smile. Children deserve to expereince an incredible youth, while also learning and gaining strength from any hardships they come across. This is a place for these children to grow up together and build a strong support system with fellow campers and counselors. We are all here because we have been impacted by cancer in some way. I care about this cause because I have expereinced the difficulties of having a loved one with cancer, and all I needed during that time during my childhood was comfort from a friend. I am looking forward to creating more memories and bonds with our Camp Kesem family."
Annie "Poppy" Cheng
Annie Cheng is a first year nursing student. After graduation, she plans on working as a pediatric nurse back in either Southern California or Washington.
Why She Kesems
"I Kesem because I cherish the reason Camp Kesem exists. It seems that all the research and funding goes toward cancer patients but never the loved ones who are also affected. Kesem allows these children to build a support system: to join a family who understands what they may be going through."
Natasha "Sunshine" Mohanty
Natasha Mohanty is a sophomore at CWRU majoring in Biomedical Engineering. She is on the pre-med track and minoring in music as well. Though born in Charleston, West Virginia, her heart belongs to the town where she was raised, Bridgewater, New Jersey. Aside from Camp Kesem, she is the Vice President of Case Kismat Fusion Dance Team, a member of Global Ethical Leader Society (GELS), and a member of Alpha Phi Fraternity. Though she's always running from classes, meetings, or practices, she always takes the time to stop at Starbucks, and, every once in a while, she pretends she knows how to cook (all while talking to her mom of course!).
Why She Kesems
"I Kesem because I believe cancer is just as detrimental to a patient's life as it is to his or her family's lives. It's so important to be supportive of the children especially. Unfortunately, I've seen how cancer can affect one's family firsthand, and I want to be there for the next child that has to go through all of these experiences. I want to aid in creating the safe haven that these children can go to, because I wasn't able to do so as an elementary school student some time ago. Most importantly, I Kesem for the magic that I can create with the aspiring young lives that I get to meet very soon."
Luchang "Squirrel" Zhang
Luchang is a junior studying Psychology and Medical Anthropology. She is hoping to go into Medical school and becoming an OBGYN after graduation. Besides being an acitive member of Camp Kesem, she is also on the executive board of Alpha Phi Fraternity. She also loves to dance! Last year, she was on Kismat Fusion Dance Team with Natasha where she learned some awesome dance moves. Since senior year of high school, she has been conducting research on cancer cells and has done various genotying in the department of Radiation Oncology. She was a counselor at our very first Camp Kesem and she cannot wait for next summer. Last but not the least, Luchang is a proud Clevelander!
Why She Kesems
"I Kesem because I believe in the Kesem magic! I enjoyed volunteering at this particular camp because I helped to create an environment where the kids could feel comfortable sharing their stories and know that they are not alone. Knowing that I was able to trade one week of my life to make a difference in their lives was rewarding. At the same time, their positivity and carefree attitudes have taught me to be a stronger person and to keep doing the things that I am passionate about."
Liz "Tiger" Mercer
Elizabeth Mercer is a Junior at Case Western, majoring in Biochemistry and Spanish. She is a memeber of the Sigm Sigma Sigma sorority and an active member of Camp Kesem's executive board. After graduating, she hopes to continue her education in medical school within the state of Ohio. This is second year being involved with Camp Kesem and she can't wait to see all of the former campers again as well as meet all of the new campers. Her favorite parts of camp include Arts and Crafts, Gaga, and Campfire songs. Her everyday hobbies include hula hooping, reading, and watching movies.
Why She Kesems
"I Kesem because my life has not been directly influenced by cancer. Camp Kesem has given me a deeper insight into the lives of the families directly affected by this disease. My heart has been touched by each and every one of the children I have seen through this organization. They give me the inspiration to carry on towards my goal of one day becoming a doctor and treating people who need my help."
Sam "Starfish" Loebbaka
Sam Loebbaka is a second year nursing student with a minor in psychology at CWRU. Sam plans on continuing her education after graduation to become a pediatric nurse anesthetist.. She is from the Chicago suburbs, although she dreams of moving to North Carolina. In addition to Camp Kesem, Sam is an involved member of Phi Mu sorority on campus. In her off time, she loves to paint flowers, watch movies and goof around with friends!
Why She Kesems
"I Kesem because I believe in the CK family. I have a passion to help the people around me, especially children. Kesem offers a one of a kind support system for kids while they are experiencing a heartbreaking and confusing time in their lives. In bringing the kids together at camp, they join a family who understands what they are experiencing. Cancer effects the entire family, but I believe that children are extremely resilient. Even though they are all fighting their own battle, they do not have to do so alone. We want to offer them all of the support and encouragement we have to give. I Kesem because I want to give the kids all my love and support so they never feel alone on their journey."
Sasha "Curly" Ali
Sasha Ali is a junior majoring in art history from South Bend, IN. Sasha plans on continuing after undergrad to get a masters in public health and hopefully traveling and looking at a lot of art. She loves to eat tacos, read, take naps outside, listen to music, and dance awkwardly.
Why She Kesems
"I Kesem because it's the one organization where you can see the difference in the lives of everyone involved. By spending a week dancing, singing, playing, and most importantly listening to these kids, a family is formed. The bond of a CK family is impossible to put into words but is truly a magical experience. CK gives a support system outside of the one we are given and reminds the kids, parents, and counselors of the goodness in the world. "
Pranav "Bear" Singh
Pranav Singh is Junior Medical Anthropology student with the hopes of attending Medical School soon. He is 20 years old and loves the outdoors so a camp environment is perfect for him. On campus, he is an active member of the fraternity Zeta Psi, and does research with the Emergency Medicine Research Division at University Hospitals. However, Camp Kesem is his favorite group to be a part of by far!
Why He Kesems
"I Kesem because although I had never dealt with a parent with Cancer, I could relate to how cancer affects families, and children. I remembered the experiences me and my father went through with our Grandma and I really wanted to be there for support for these amazing children. However, when I finally got to camp, I realized just how strong these children really are and that in the end, my job was just to make them realize just that, and in the end, I began to learn more from them. I Kesem to try and show how much joy and happiness each one of these kids deserve, but more importantly, the joy and happiness that they give to those around them."
Ki "Kiwi" Oh
Ki Oh is a senior at CWRU studying Biochemstry. Though born and raised in South Korea, he has lived in North Carolina and most recently, in Nashville, TN. He hopes to enter an MD/PhD program in Pharmacology to one day become a medical scientist. Aside from Camp Kesem, Ki is involved in the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, Lambda Eta Mu service fraternity, and research in pharmacology. He also works as a peer tutor under Educational Services for Students (ESS) and as a photographer for the campus paper, The Observer. In his free time, he enjoys taking pictures outdoors, cooking, DJing, skateboarding around campus, and watching Netflix with a bowl of ice cream.
Why He Kesems
"I Kesem because I believe in the organization's unique cause and would like to have an active role in organizing the best camp that we can put together for these children. I believe everyone has an ability to make a difference in the world whether it's small or big. I wish to see this organization grow and expand to more and more people so the community at large will understand and unite under a greater cause."
Tanvi "Chewy" Parmar
Tanvi Parmar is currently a junior finance major and marketing minor at CWRU's Weatherhead School of Management. She is originally from the wonderful town of South Brunswick, New Jersey. She enjoys her other roles on campus involving the Undergraduate Student Government, Emerging Leaders Program, and the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for women. When she is not swamped with work (and even when she is) she loves to look up punny jokes, sing along to 80′s music and watch romantic comedies.
Why She Kesems
"I Kesem because I really believe in the cause that CK advocates- to recognize the children who silently suffer and give them a happy and supportive place to make new friends and network. As someone who had a rare heart surgery when she was a child, I understand the importance of surrounding yourself with caring people who keep you smiling each and every day, even when you're having a low day. Really, I want to be the needed support similar to what I gratefully received as a three year old kid."
Make the Magic
Meredith "Piggie" Lee
Meredith Lee is a junior nursing student from South Bend, Indiana. Along with being involved in Camp Kesem, she is also a member of the women's tennis team and a member of the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for women. Her other hobbies include crafting, fishing, baking and cooking.
Why She Kesems
"I Kesem because I have always had an interest in entertaining and working with all ages of children. Being able to interact and establish relationships with kids who have something in common and help make a difference in their lives will be an experience unlike any other. Although cancer is becoming more prevalent, not all children have family exposure. Camp Kesem provides a week spent among others the same age with similar circumstances as they share their own experiences, learn from one another, and most importantly, create unforgettable memories. I hope to give back to this population of children by being a part of this camp that they will attend free of charge!"
Julie "Grapes" Welch
Julie Welch is a Sophomore Pre-Med Student with a minor in Spanish. After graduating, she would love to go to Medical School to eventually become an Oncologist. Along with all of her love for Camp Kesem, she is involved in Colleges Against Cancer/Relay For Life, the Emerging Leaders Program, Emergency Medicine Research Division, and her sorority, Phi Mu! When she's not busy with these things, she enjoys hanging out with friends, take naps, travel, and find new music!
Why She Kesems
"I Kesem because I know how hard it can be to find support while going through a parents cancer. I Kesem because someone needs to focus on all the other members affected by a loved one's cancer. Although many people are supportive of these children, there are very few people their own age who know exactly what they are going through. After being a CK Counselor last year, I know that kids can find this support from the other campers, and that is something extremely special. Lastly, I Kesem because CK gives kids and counselors one of the most amazing weeks of their life. What I took away from these amazing kids is more than I could ever dream of giving to them. The campers taught me so much about everything, including myself. I Kesem because I believe in the CK Magic and I hope to share it with as many people as possible "

Archive for the 'UAZ' tag
On old car safari around the Mediterranean
After much success car-spotting in Italy during the last Hemmings Mediterranean cruise four years ago (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, addendum, Prince of Monaco's collection), I expected this year's Hemmings Mediterranean cruise – destined for Italy, Greece, and Turkey – to provide similar carspotting opportunities. Alas, we saw far fewer old cars out on the streets this time; could have been the impact of cash for clunkers schemes introduced in all three countries over the last few years, could have simply been the result of less time spent ambling Rome's back alleys. Either way, we did notice a greater variety of old cars to make up for the lesser quantity.
Of course, one can't travel through Italy without seeing Fiat 500s everywhere you go; the blue one above (I believe it's an F) we saw in Naples near the Piazza del Plebiscito. This time the new new 500s far outnumbered the old new 500s.
In Rome, near the Colosseum, we spotted this utility jeep of some sort under a cover. The hubcaps said Fiat, but given that we were foreigners, we thought better than to lift the cover to find out what it was. Any guesses?
We actually spent a couple days before the cruise started in the beach town of Ostia, about 45 minutes outside of Rome, where we spotted the two SUVs above. Right in front of our hotel was the UAZ 469/3151 equipped as an off-roader, and a few streets away was the Nissan Patrol, also apparently ready for some trail riding.
Down an alley in Athens we came across an excellent antique store that had this Peugeot motorcycle and BabyMoto outside and BMW motorcycle inside. Also in Athens we came across the Opel sewing machine in another storefront.
Okay, it's not wheeled, but neither is the sewing machine. We cruised aboard the Celebrity Equinox, shown here anchored off of Santorini.
From a carspotting perspective, the highlight of our trip was definitely Istanbul, where I spotted this 1967 Chevrolet Impala four-door sedan right at the pier. The owner, Jimmy, claimed he imported it to Turkey himself, directly from the States, in recent years, and used it less as a taxi and more as a sightseeing car around Istanbul. Indeed, we saw him driving around in it with tourists in back later that day. The Dodge was one of several work trucks of this size and larger we saw throughout the city.
While in Istanbul, I knew I wanted to replicate Charles Cushman's shots from the Galata Bridge, looking toward the Beyoğlu district. Quite a bit has changed there since the mid-1960s.
Also in Beyoğlu we ran across this unlikely pair parked nose to tail. The 124 is actually a Murat, built in Turkey by Tofaş under license from Fiat. the 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air, though faded and sporting mismatched bias-ply tires, looked to be in decent shape otherwise.
Not all the old cars in Turkey look as rough as those we spotted above, however. The İstanbul Klasik Otomobilciler Derneği (Istanbul Classic Automobile Association) is one of several collector car clubs in Turkey and put on a car show for us right at the pier with a couple dozen cars, many of them beautifully restored four-door full-size Chevrolets. We'll have full coverage of the show in an upcoming issue of Hemmings Motor News, but until then, Kate Sullivan has posted a gallery of photos from the show on our Facebook page.
So not as extensive a carspotting trip as last time, I know. Maybe Hemmings needs to send me back to do a better job, spend a couple months roaming Europe to gather more such photos and stories…
UPDATE (30.August 2012): Kate Sullivan shot this quick video of the show in Istanbul.
Camel crossings and old Russian cars in Kazakhstan
A little more than a year ago, our friend Mike Eldred visited the cheery state of Moldova to monitor their elections, and earlier this month he had another opportunity to head across the Atlantic for some more election monitoring, this time in Kazakhstan. Keeping us in mind yet again, he kept his camera on the ready for old cars and trucks, including the ambulance in the above shot, looking well kept.
"There's always little time to snap photos, but I did manage to get a few," Mike wrote. "I skipped the ubiquitous Ladas, but I thought some of these were interesting. There were a lot of vans like the ambulance, and quite a few of the delivery trikes, too, despite the cold weather. As usual, I have no idea what make any of the vehicles are, but maybe one of the knowledgeable staff or blog readers will."
We'll give it a crack, then. The ambulance above may not be as old as we think. UAZ introduced the 450 series forward-control vans (nicknamed the Loaf) and pickups (nicknamed the Tadpole) in 1958 and restyled them in 1966, but they've remained largely unchanged since then and remain in production today. Originally designated 452, the four-wheel-drive ambulance versions like this were redesignated 3962 in the mid-1980s.
In the capital city of Astana, he stumbled upon a museum dedicated to the Soviet era that had these two cars parked outside. On the left, we see a GAZ M21 Volga Series 3, while the copper colored car appears to be a ZAZ 965.
He noted plenty of the motorcycle-based delivery vehicles in the rural villages. "If you look at the handlebars on the trike, you'll notice the hand warmers," Mike wrote. After that, we see a IZH 2715 van, introduced in 1972 and produced all the way through 2001. On the far right, we see another UAZ, this one a hardtopped 469, which has an official designation of 3151. Like the 452/3962 above, UAZ is still producing the 469/3151 today, though under the name Hunter. The eagle-eyed among you may note the similarity between the 469/3151 and the Beijing Jeep (BJ212) – indeed, the latter is a direct copy of the UAZ.
And finally, one of the more unusual sights from his trip, a camel crossing sign. Which brings up the question: How do the camels know to cross there?
Four-Links – Brown Dog Welding, Crosley fire truck returned to park, Victor Wouk and the hybrid car, RC UAZ
* As with Bomonster, we've been enjoying the metal sculptures of Josh of Brown Dog Welding over on the H.A.M.B.'s Friday Art Show for some time now, so we thoroughly enjoyed the interview he gave to the Rusty Knuckles blog recently.
Photo by Ray Finger, Star Gazette
* Thanks to Keith on the Crosley Gang mailing list for forwarding this story along: The Crosley fire truck that once ferried kids around Kiddieland at Eldridge Park in Elmira, New York, has been restored and returned to the park, though now as part of a permanent display.
* Based on the story of Victor Wouk and EPA bureaucrat Eric Stork related over at Cars In Depth this week, the history of hybrid gasoline-electric cars could have taken a radically different course were it not for one giant ego from an unexpected player.
* Following up on our mention of radio-control off-road trucks a couple weeks ago, we'll point to this post over at Hooniverse of an incredible scratchbuilt radio-control UAZ 469B built by an enthusiast in Italy.
* And finally, David Greenlees over at The Old Motor took some time out from posting excellent photos of old cars to detail how he machines flywheels for some of the cars he restores, allowing them to use electric starters.

Jennifer Hammond Landau
Watercolor, illustration, and graphic facilitation are the
foundation of Jennifer's work, even in fiber. The essential drivers are
composition, balance of values, and layering of visual information/texture.
Illustration and graphic facilitation have pushed Jennifer to
get to the essence of composition and message. With watercolor has come the
discipline of layering and light.
Current works in fiber embrace needle and knitted felting,
quilting, and embellishment with embroidery, beads, found materials, and
polymer clay elements, often incorporating drawn or watermedia images. Fabrics
range from scruffy scraps of traditional prints to self-printed cloth, made
with an ink jet printer and specialty fiber pastels. A hike in Squaw Valley can
result in a needle-felted wall hanging based around an insect-etched stick and
mossy bark. A watercolor crayon sketch of a skier dropping into a powder line
ends up with pink netting clouds above a backdrop of blue quilted peaks, and
snow embellished with pearl beads.
Her history of cartooning shows in the ordinary, and often
humorous, subjects Jennifer uses in her work, from watercolors of sprouting
potatoes to oversized polymer clay ski goggles.
Jennifer's work has been dually shaped by city and
mountain, given her upbringing in Mill Valley and on Donner Summit, and current
residence in San Francisco and Squaw Valley. Largely self-taught, Jennifer
appreciates the power and freedom of her personally sourced artistic journey.
Her earliest memories involve paper and HB pencils, cloth and thread – the
tools of a visionary architect/artist father and practical seamstress mother.
She took this heritage into the professional world for 30 years as a pioneer of
graphic facilitation. In parallel Jennifer maintained a lifetime practice in
fine arts, beginning in oils at her grandmother's knee, and then textiles,
sculptural polymer clay, and watermedia in adulthood

North London doctor has bicycle stolen as she treats injured motorcyclist
Good Samaritan falls victim to theft in incident on Holloway Road last Friday evening
A North London doctor who stopped during her commute home from work to treat a motorcyclist who had been thrown from his bike has spoken of how her own bicycle was stolen by an opportunist thief.
The incident happened at the Archway end of Holloway Road during last Friday's evening rush hour as Jennifer Perry, aged 26, headed home to Angel from her work as a psychiatrist with Barnet and Edgware mental health trust, reports the London Evening Standard.
"The motorcyclist had come off his bike and was lying in the road with a few people standing round," explained Doctor Perry, who had trained as a medical doctor.
"There was a car parked blocking the road to stop the traffic," she continued.
"I quickly rushed over to see if he was okay. My bike was resting by my leg while I was checking on the motorcyclist. I suddenly felt it move and looked round and saw a boy making off with it. He was so quick, I tried to chase but I would never have caught him."
Dr Perry told the Standard that she had only bought the £400 bicycle two months ago.
"I stopped to help and for someone to take advantage of that in such a way is upsetting. You have to wonder what the world is coming to."
The newspaper added that the motorcyclist, who is thought to have received minor injuries in the incident, was taken to hospital in an ambulance.
What most of us cyclists would do to a scrote like that...
A warning, slap on the wrist is too good for them. Nothing severe to see here!

BMLH - agreed. I thought I was going to read that the Dr leant the bike against the shop window on the pavement 10 feet away or something, but no, the brazen little sh!t had the nerve to take it when it was leaning against the owner's leg.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice...

Who is a medical doctor.... All psychiatrists are.

Now is the ideal time for a bike company seeking good PR to offer the good Doctor a new free bike!
What a little scumbag. I hope karma comes and slaps him round the face. Hard. With a mallet.

There are a few offers of cash from readers of the Standard which is heart-warming. Of course there is also a comment about riding on pavements and jumping red lights. A doctor has her biked nicked from right beside her and there is still some snidey git ready to post Daily Mail comments.

Let's assume that he is not a proper cyclist and would therefore choose to ride on the pavement. Wouldn't it be a strange twist of fate if he was to get knocked off his bike, (stolen of course), by an irate pedestrian, and to consequently be ignored by a passing doctor, fearful of having her bike stolen.

After fire damage, it is natural for a person to want to clean a building or home and contents. Timely action can be a great help. It is
also true that incorrect or delayed action can jeopardize or seriously impede satisfactory restoration. The following Emergency Tips
are based on our wide experience in this field. It is not likely that you will require all procedures listed. Examine your situation and
use those steps which common sense dictates.
• Clean and protect chrome trim on kitchen appliances with a light coating of vaseline or other oil.
• Blow off or brush-vacuum loose smoke particles from upholstery, drapes and carpets.
• Open windows for ventilation.
• Change furnace filter if blower is operating.
• Empty freezer and refrigerator completely if electricity is off, and prop doors open with a rolled towel or newspaper.
• Clean and protect smoked bathroom faucets, tub fittings and towel bars with a light coating of oil.
• Wash plants with water on both sides of leaves (water softener helps).
• Remove pets (especially birds) to clean environment.
• Wipe or attempt to wash walls, ceilings or other absorbent surfaces.
• Use upholstered furniture if it· can be avoided.
• Use exposed food items, or canned goods which have been subjected to excessive heat.
• Use TVs, stereos, or electrical appliances until cleaned and checked.
• Send smoked garments to an ordinary dry cleaner. Improper cleaning may set smoke and odor.
Water is an essential part of many cleaning processes, but under some circumstances, although it usually cleans, it can damage articles.
The harmful effect of water is sharply reduced by prompt and wise action. Some procedures are obvious; others require foresight and
experience. From our background in water-damage repair and cleaning, we have compiled this list of Emergency Tips which can be
taken when water damage occurs.
• Remove as much excess water as possible by mopping and blotting.
• Wipe water from wood furniture after removal of lamps and tabletop items.
• Remove and prop up wet upholstery cushions for even drying (check for possible bleeding).
• Place aluminum foil , china saucers or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting.
• Turn on air conditioning for maximum drying in summer; open windows to speed drying in winter.
• Remove Orientals or other colored rugs from wet wall-to-wall carpeting.
• Put new papers inside rugs before rolling to avoid bleeding.
• Open drawers and cabinet doors for complete drying (do not force, however). Remove valuable oil paintings and art objects to a sale place.
• Blot wet carpeting with clean white towels.
• Open suitcases and luggage to dry, in sunlight if possible.
• Punch small holes in sagging ceilings to relieve trapped water (don't forget to place pans beneath!).
• Leave wet fabrics in place; dry as soon as possible. Hang furs and leather goods to dry separately at room temperature.
• Leave books, magazines or other colored items on wet carpets or floors .
• Use your household vacuum to remove water.
• Use TVs or other appliances while standing on wet carpet or floors, especially not on wet concrete floors.
• Turn on ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet, and keep out of rooms where ceilings are sagging from retained water.
Although smoke and soot may seem to be identical, experienced professionals recognize the important differences and appropriate
emergency action can help in restoring walls and furnishings damaged by soot. Wrong action can make restoration more difficult and
could greatly delay your 'return to normal'. These Emergency Tips can increase the chances for prompt and successful restoration.
• Change furnace filter.
• Cover upholstery with clean sheets before use .
• Tape doubled pieces of cheesecloth over air registers with masking tape.
• Blow off or brush-vacuum loose soot particles from upholstery, drapes and carpeting.
• Attempt to clean walls or ceiling.
• Use do-it-yourself, home carpet or upholstery cleaners.
Vandalism is upsetting even if the motivation is not malicious. While timely action can minimize or prevent lasting damage, it is
just as true that wrong or delayed action can increase it; sometimes beyond hope of repair. Emergency Tips listed below will minimize
the effects of the damage, and make the eventual repair more successful.
• Hose down or wash egg damage from building exteriors as soon as possible.
• Wipe up freshly spilled food from carpets and fabrics with a dampened cloth or sponge (but don't overwet!). DO scrape and blot (don't rub; it may cause fuzzing or damage fibers).
• Vacuum glass particles from carpets and upholstery.
• Save containers which will reveal the composition of spilled inks, cosmetics and paints.
• Attempt to remove ink, paint or cosmetic stains.
• Operate damaged lamps or appliances.
• Throw out wood chips, broken pieces from furniture, porcelain or other art objects.

The Jefferson County Board of Elections will begin counting the 3,216 absentee ballots for all 2012 political races today.
Election results remain unofficial until all ballots, including absentees, have been counted and a variety of certification measures have been completed. Democratic Election Commissioner Babette M. Hall, who works closely with Republican counterpart Jerry O. Eaton, estimated the Board of Elections will be ready to declare the official results by the month's end.
This year, absentee ballots had to be postmarked on or before Nov. 5, the day before the general election. An absentee ballot may be disqualified if it is mailed after that date or does not bear the voter's signature. To be counted, absentee ballots must be received by Monday.
In addition to counting the absentee ballots, 3 percent of the county's voting machines must be audited. Mr. Eaton reported that as of Wednesday afternoon, 2 percent of the county's machines had been tested, with all passing.
The election cycle saw a hotly contested race between Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, and Republican Matthew A. Doheny of Watertown for the 21st Congressional District.
According to the unofficial results, Mr. Owens carried the district 50 percent to 48 percent. In Jefferson County, however, Mr. Doheny won 51 percent to 48 percent. Districtwide, Mr. Doheny trailed Mr. Owens by 4,713 votes on Election Day.
Spread out among the district's 12 counties are an estimated 20,000 absentee ballots that have yet to be counted.
Mr. Doheny, who conceded the race on election night, has an outside chance of reversing the result if he secures 60 percent of the 20,000 absentee ballots. However, Mr. Eaton, who is also the president of the Statewide Election Commissioners Association, said that outcome is not likely, noting, "Usually absentees trend the same as election night."
This year in Cape Vincent, the races for village trustee and Town Council are close. The second- and third-place candidates for trustee, Douglas Putnam and Jeffrey Call, are separated by only one vote. That race is certain to be decided by absentee ballots.
The two Town Council candidates are separated by 91 votes. Paul Aubertine is leading with 562 votes to Michelle T. Oswald's 471. There are 339 absentee ballots from the town and the village that have yet to be counted.
And the election in Jefferson County was touched by the chaos Superstorm Sandy caused.
"We have 18 displaced voters in the county from New York City and the Bronx and Suffolk County," Ms. Hall said. "We have 18 affidavits that we are sending on to those counties."

With high-performance grand tourers like the Porsche Panamera Turbo on sale, and Audi set to launch the RS7, BMW was never going to be far behind. So here's its offering: the M6 Gran Coupe, which joins the existing Coupe and Convertible models.
At first, the idea of fitting two more doors to the M6 might not make much sense – that's what the M5 saloon is, in essence. But with a 113mm longer wheelbase, a slightly more luxurious cabin and the option of five seats, the M6 Gran Coupe is definitely different.
BMW describes it as the most sumptuous M car yet, and the leather interior attests to that. But while there's decent rear legroom, headroom is a little tight. Anyone sitting in the middle seat will have to straddle a centre console, too, which explains why BMW officially calls this car a 4+1-seater.
Despite the extra length, it's hard to tell the Gran Coupe apart from the standard M6. The compact rear doors are integrated neatly into the muscular design and familiar performance cues like the huge air intakes in the front bumper and forged 20-inch alloys ensure that it looks every bit as purposeful as the coupe.
It's just as imposing to drive, with all the brute force we've become accustomed to from the familiar 552bhp 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. This engine debuted in the latest M5, but the astonishing way it delivers its power still catches you by surprise. Throttle response is razor sharp, and with nearly 700Nm of torque at your disposal from low in the rev range, it's alarmingly easy to see three-figure speeds appearing on the head-up display.
You won't be sacrificing any performance by opting for the more practical Gran Coupe over the standard M6, either; both claim an identical 0-62mph time of just 4.2 seconds. Fuel economy and CO2 emissions remain the same, too, at 28.5mpg and 232g/km.
Every part of the driving experience can be tailored to suit different demands, including the speed of the dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox's shifts and the settings for the active dampers and speed-sensitive steering. That means the Gran Coupe can switch from softly sprung cruiser to snarling sports car at the press of a button.
In the most aggressive Sport+ setting, the traction control is dialled down and the steering is lightning fast. But in any mode, the Active M Differential splits power between the rear wheels, giving a level of agility and surefootedness you don't expect from such a big car. Unlike some performance coupes, it always rides well, too.
It's not all good news, though: the quad exhausts never make more than a muted roar and the Gran Coupe can feel numb and uninvolving. In that sense, it's short on drama – it rarely feels as exciting as a £100k supersaloon should. Plus, there's a number of cheaper rivals, like the £80k Mercedes CLS 63 AMG, to consider.
Such a beautiful car! and gorgeous futuristic styling unlike the equivalent Merc or Audi.
Nice M5 ? I'd rather the same car but £24k cheaper & 3 proper seats in the back The M5, This is Pointless.
Looks like BMW are going to try the "M" badge on everything they can, they need to watch that that the badge does not get devalued. BMW are starting to make "dross cars". In my opinion BMW need to introduce a "posers" moniker and leave "M" for the hard core. To be honest I don't why this car exists.
i saw the m6 grand coupe in front of me and trust me it is very impressive and looks very classy. Always good to try if you got the cash ))

Usually when I'm reviewing a game I play it for longer in one session than perhaps I would otherwise. This is just so I can get the review out in a timely fashion, but it does sometimes sour my enjoyment of the game.
Not only did I want to keep playing Mark of the Ninja, I was still enjoying it after spending hours and hours on it at a time. This only happens to me every so often, so I would urge you to pick this game up and give it a go.

The obvious choice for a topic this week is Hallowe'en. But since we've been writing our journals for two years now, guess what? We talked about Hallowe'en and costumes last year! So I thought this weekend we could talk specifically about
1. what treats we got as kids going out on Hallowe'en
2. what treats we loved the best
3. were there any houses you made sure you went to and were there any you avoided at all costs
4. what tricks did you pull (if any)
I used to grab a pillowcase and meet up with my friend Janie. We'd make the rounds of as many homes as possible, often returning to our own homes to grab a second or even a third pillowcase. I lived in a small village/town and word soon spread about who was giving out candy apples - a very special favourite with all us kids.
We also learned quickly who was Mr. or Mrs. Grumpy and not giving out anything except curt words. Those homes we avoided. But people who turned off all their lights and pretended they weren't home were high on our list to irritate. You know what I mean - we'd run up and ring the doorbell repeatedly, or knock loudly and without stopping for several minutes.
Another thing we'd do to annoy them (because we were pretty sure they were just hiding behind their curtains in their darkened rooms) was to gather in a large group and yell out our favourite (and for some reason forbidden by our mothers) chant
Trick or Treat
Smell my feet
Give me something good to eat
Not too big, not too small
Just the size of Montreal
The candies we got the most of were those dreadful cheap Hallowe'en sticky ones wrapped in orange and black candy wrappers. Sometimes we got an apple but we never ate them as the words of our mothers rang loudly in our ears "Don't eat any apples until I check them for razor blades!"
Sometimes we got gum but other than that there wasn't much variety. A rare but longed-for treat was a chocolate bar and I don't mean any of the mini-bars you can buy now. These were full sized chocolate bars and boy was it rare to get one of those.
The candies in our pillowcases would last for days. I kept mine under my bed and snacked on the rarely-seen sweets as often as I could. Talk about a sugar high!
What kinds of treats did you get? And what pranks or tricks did you pull?
