Why Tufts?
Looking for examples of past college essays that worked? These are some admissions essays that our officers liked best from last year.
Jonathan Marc Leon-Salans '20
Chevy Chase, MD
The Super Show was, for me, the defining moment of the Voices of Tufts program. From students "Banging Everything At Tufts" to slam poetry, and from African to Indian dance, Tufts' amazing diversity was on full display. People from all different backgrounds were not only performing in the show but also watching it, and all of us were having the best time. It was clear to me that, at Tufts, differences are not only accepted, but celebrated. It was the moment I realized Tufts is the place for me. On no other campus have I felt so welcome and embraced.

I never imagined I would be talking to Jumbos about everything from ethics in politics to squid in bibimbap, but my conversations with students during my visit confirmed everything I love about the school. Tufts is a uniquely curious, playful and collaborative platform that exudes intellectual diversity like none other. I can study anything from genetics to psychology, and pursue anything from the Entrepreneurship to the Culinary Society. As a metal guitarist who enjoys woodworking and reading up on human behavior, I've never felt like I fit neatly into one category. At Tufts, I won't have to.
Jesse Ryan '21
Concord, MA
I spent my Tufts campus visit in a "Sociology of War and Peace" class. The discussion was rich as ideas were tossed back and forth, comparing and contrasting modern warfare in different regions and cultures. The dialogue instantly excited me, but when the students I was sitting with invited me to come to lunch with them, to continue talking about the Middle Eastern conflict, I knew that Tufts was the kind of environment I was looking for: an open community that values dialogue, and a campus with a strong intellectual pulse, even outside of the classroom.
Isaac Joon-hyuk Choi '21
Saint Joseph, MO
As an artist, I believe that one's work should reflect the world beyond it. Thus, I'm most attracted to Tufts SMFA's combination of rigorous artistic study with a challenging liberal arts curriculum at the School of Arts and Sciences. I want to inform my art-making with in-depth exploration of sociology, justice, and international relations, creating works that comment on global issues--a prospect uniquely possible at Tufts SMFA. With numerous opportunities for combining art and community work on campus and in Boston, the SMFA program shows art isn't only meant for the classroom; it's meant for the world.
Christopher Sprunt '21
Hudson, OH
I vividly remember stepping onto the roof of Tisch Library and seeing a group of kids sitting in hammocks, overlooking the Boston skyline. I briefly tuned out my tour guide's presentation and began to eavesdrop. The students covered everything from physics to what they had for lunch that day. When they spoke about physics, they did not speak with pretension; instead they spoke with passion. Likewise, when they spoke about something as simple as lunch, they did so with witty intrigue. Tufts students are as interesting as they are interested. This description not only resonates with me, it defines me.
Plearn Arronchote '21
Bangkok, Thailand
I'm not a picky person, but in the college search, I sure was. Luckily, I found Tufts, a school that checked every box.
At Tufts, the many facets of my personality will be embraced. I can be an environmental engineer who does research in the Water: Systems, Science and Society program, takes US Foreign Policy in the Middle East, and stage-manages a musical. At Tufts, an institution that celebrates interdisciplinary learning, my diverse interests won't be met with judgmental indifference. Instead, they will be encouraged by peers who are just as enthusiastic about pretty much everything as I am.
Yarmina Kamal '21
Mesa, AZ
I fell in love with Tufts Engineering because of its extended focus on society. With the school's emphatic value on civic engagement and a larger global conversation, the engineering program allows me to supplement my profound fascination for math and physics with my impassioned value on service and learning. My love for the world and for its people empowers me. I see this same kind of love reflected within the Tufts community, which is why I know with wholehearted certainty that Tufts University is where I belong in order to be both the engineer and person I aspire to be.
Esther Tzau '21
Weston, MA
As a girl interested in computer science it's common when visiting university websites to utter "you go, girl" to the lone female faculty member smiling proudly amidst a male-dominated CS department. However, Tufts is a unique community that not only encourages minorities in STEM, but actively recruits female faculty like the spunky and inspirational activist/engineer/professor/entrepreneur Dr. Laney Strange, who I met at Girls Who Code. With my passions ranging from multimedia art to Latin American culture to CS, Tufts excites me since it's where diverse interests are celebrated and where I can have stimulating conversations with anyone I meet on campus.

I did better this year with the plants I started from seed, but I still don't have a system down and don't completely know what I'm doing; I left some plants in the trays for much too long and it seems to have stunted their growth. The plants that I re-potted first were clearly the most happy.
I waited a couple of extra weeks past our last frost date to plant tomatoes and peppers and, with the cold nights we had in late April, I carried these plants in and out of the garage each day for about a week. It was only within the last couple of weeks that I started to put them in the ground, and the garden began to look complete.
The warmer weather coupled with the plentiful rain we received over the last few weeks has really given the garden a boost. Here's the garden on April 26th.
Here it is just two weeks later, on May 10th.
Don't my potatoes (left middle) look great? The beans got a cold and soggy start and weren't looking great, so I pulled some of them and replanted. I also planted a row of sweet potatoes last Sunday. I ordered them through a mail-order catalog and would you believe this is what they looked like when they came?
The instructions that came with the plants mentioned that they might be wilted and that I should not be concerned; they are resilient plants and should recover "under the right conditions". I guess we'll see if we have the right conditions.
Lastly, there has already been a visitor in the garden foraging on my plants and it appears to enjoy eating the entire plant! It leaves nothing behind but a small hole in the ground where the plant used to be. So far I've lost a tomato plant, a Brussels sprout plant, and a sweet potato plant. I don't remember this happening last year–entire plants disappearing. Based on the hoof print in the fresh mud that I saw the other day, I suspect its deer. I'll have to start mixing up a home-made deer deterrent. Last year I tried Deer Scram, which seemed to work, but it's pricey. If you have a tried-and-true deer deterrent that doesn't involve chemicals or firearms, I'd love to hear it!
By the way, did you notice the children's garden in the photos above? It's growing like mad! All of the plants in there are far outperforming the crops in the main garden! I'm not sure what their secret is but I've got a lot of work to do!

We rounded up our first "homeschool" week between summer camps. Mr. P selected the theme "Ninjas. Here are some of the ninjafied activities we completed!
We read Magic Treehouse's "Night of the Ninja"
We made origami ninja star (also called shuriken). Click here to see a youtube video about how to make it.
Mr. P. completed a ninja maze.
We sang the Barenaked Ladies song "The Ninjas". Click here to see a video of them on youtube singing it!
We read a bunch of books from the Wink the Ninja series:
Wink the Ninja who wanted to be noticed.
Wink the Ninja who wanted to nap.
We watched the video of Mr. P. in his homemade Halloween costume from last year practicing his Ninja moves:
And finally, I wanted to give him the chance to see the Karate Kid (I know, not a Ninja but besides Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I couldn't think up much else!) The question is, which movie do we watch? Karate Kid from the 1984?
Or the revamped version from 2010? I'm kind of a stickler for the original versions, so I think we'll start there.

Rep. Jesse Jackson told reporters he was "not well" a day after reports came out that he was on the verge of being indicted on charges of misusing federal dollars to decorate his home and reportedly caught cavorting with women while taking time off from work to receive treatment for bipolar disorder.
On Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported Jackson allegedly used monies meant to maintain his professional House offices in Washington and Illinois for home decorations:
Federal prosecutors and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are in the final stages of a criminal probe into allegations that Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. misused campaign money to decorate his house, according to people familiar with the matter.
The website Gawker also reported that Jackson had been seen on the town in Washington, D.C. with multiple women. Since mysteriously leaving Congress in June, Jackson has been treated for bi-polar disorder and has not returned to work:
According to two independent sources, Jackson was spotted drinking at Bier Baron Tavern, a craft beer bar not far from Dupont Circle, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights last week. Each night, he was accompanied by a different woman. According to both sources, Jackson was drinking. "They were laughing and very focused on each other," one source said of Jackson's demeanor on Wednesday night. "Not sure when they left but I saw them there around 10:30 p.m. They didn't appear intoxicated or loud, but were definitely enjoying themselves."
Jackson told "The Daily" that he is "just trying to clear his head" because "he's been under medical supervision" and goes to George Washington University Hospital daily for treatment.

Iraq combat could outlast Obama's term
Thomas E. Ricks, the nation's best-known defense correspondent, writes in a book out this week that many Iraq veterans believe the U.S. is likely to have "soldiers in combat in Iraq until at least 2015 – which would put us now at about the midpoint of the conflict."
That would mean American forces would remain in danger past President Obama's terms, into his second term if he wins reelection or the 45th presidency if he doesn't.
Story Continued Below
Ricks, author of the bestselling "Fiasco," offers that grim forecast in a new book being published Tuesday, "The Gamble: General David Petraeus and the American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2006-2008" (394 pages, The Penguin Press, $27.95).
A member of two Pulitzer Prize-winning teams, Ricks also predicts that President Obama and his generals "eventually will settle on what one Obama adviser calls 'a sustainable presence' – and that that smaller force will be in Iraq for many years."
On NBC's "Meet the Press on Sunday, Ricks told moderator David Gregory that "a lot of people back here incorrectly think the war is over."
"What I say in this book is that we may be only halfway through this thing," Ricks said. "This year we're in now, '09, is going to be, I think, a, a surprisingly tough year. You've got a series of elections in Iraq. Meanwhile, you've got American troops declining. … We're doing the easy troop withdrawals now, but down the road you start taking them out of areas that aren't so secure, that aren't so safe, that you're, that you're worried about.
"So they're going to be holding national elections in Iraq just when we have fewer troops there. And finally, none of the basic problems that the surge was meant to solve have been solved. All of the basic issues facing Iraq are still there."
The Washington Post is running two days of excerpts under the rubric "The Generals' Insurgency." Sunday's first installment starred Army Gen. Roy Odierno, who in September succeeded Petraeus as the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and formerly oversaw day-to-day operations under Petraeus.

The extension we had built around five years ago, is comprised of one large and one smaller room - the large one used as my studio, and the small one, a guest room. There's also a decent sized landing, and a small second bathroom.
It had become a very expensive dumping ground, and my studio was utterly out of control - over the years it had become so cluttered that I couldn't bear to be in there except when I absolutely had to, so I'd taken my computer downstairs to the dining room, which inevitably meant my notebooks, pots of pens, paperwork, deliveries, samples and other bits and bobs, started piling up down there and taking over the dining room too. I managed to block out the chaos of my studio by completely ignoring it as much as possible, but the chaos started to spread. Not good!
The dedicated guest room did get used maybe twice a month, but it seemed kind of crazy to have it just sitting there not being used at all the rest of the time.
I'm so incredibly lucky to have all this space, and there really isn't an excuse to not use it properly. I guess I let the chaos get the better of me for a while and I buried my head in the sand, but the guilt eventually crept in, and something really had to give.
It dawned on me that we should sacrifice the dedicated guest room, and turn the larger of the rooms (currently my studio) into a second living area that would also double as a guest room when needed. Somewhere we can snuggle up to watch movies on the weekends, and for the kids to hang out in as they get older and want to have friends over, but not be right under our noses downstairs. I know - lucky kids.
And my studio will be relocated to what was the guest room.
Oh, and of course I want to completely redecorate both rooms before anything moves.
A few weeks ago I sold the spare bed and mattress, and relocated all the things that were being stored under the bed.
The plan is to redecorate before moving anything in from the old studio, as the floors need a refresh too. The walls, woodwork and ceiling will all be painted the same colour - something I've wanted to do for a while, but never plucked up the courage before.
Then everything can come out of the old studio into the new one before I get to work with yet more redecorating! Yep, I have a very busy few months ahead, but I'm so excited about these projects!
I'm struggling with the fact that I can't just make my new studio a really pretty room, and leave out all the not so pretty bits. But alas, it also needs to house practical storage, packaging materials, the printer etc, but I guess that should just spur me on to get rid of everything I no longer need, so it can be as nice as possible, whilst still functioning as my studio.
I'm lucky that I'll get to cheat a little (okay, a lot), as there is space on the landing to house my big Ikea unit which is full to bursting, at least for now, which takes the pressure off a bit because I still have a way to go with the de-cluttering! That said, I've donated, sold, given away and thrown away a HUGE amount of stuff already, which has been most satisfying.
I have my heart set on a lovely new desk like some that I included in a Fab Five Sexy Desks post several months ago, but I've been pouring money into the house recently, and I just don't have the funds for my dream desk right now. But I put it on the moodboard anyway, because it's way prettier than what I've actually got, and it's good to visualise how you'd like things to look eventually, even if it's not going to be immediately. Meanwhile, I'm also looking out on ebay for something that fits the bill with a much lower price tag, but in reality, I might be stuck with my white Ikea desk for a while longer. Boo!
Rather than spending a fortune, I'll be borrowing some things from other rooms of the house to up the pretty factor. I have however, treated myself to a fab new desk lamp and rug. There isn't going to be much room for any more pretty bits other than as many plants as I can shoehorn in - I'll make my desk area as lovely as possible and the rest, well it will look like exactly what it is - a working home studio.
So here's the moodboard! It's kind of Glam Urban Safari meets Mid Century.
So I started looking at tans and caramels which I'm utterly obsessed with right now, and decided on Summer Pecan 3 by Dulux. It's so warm and inviting, which is what I love about these colours. I'll be using the Dulux Endurance+ paint, which is super durable (twenty times tougher than their conventional matt paint). So it'll be great for a room that will not only get visits from small people with often sticky grubby hands, but will also see a fair few boxes coming and going. The walls in our house get a tough time, so I really need the paint to be durable!
I often start a room design with a colour in mind and see where it leads me, so having decided on Summer Pecan 3, I got to work on my moodboard, keeping it calm by sticking to a natural palette of browns, caramels, black and warm white.
This is not the look I had initially set out to achieve, but I'm so happy with where I'm heading now with this room. It's actually a much more classic and timeless look than what I originally had in mind, and I can't wait to share the finished room!
In the next few weeks I'll share my plans for the TV room, and I'll hopefully have made some progress on the studio relocation by then too. Right now I can't imagine it actually happening, but it has to because there's the small matter of a MASSIVE sofa turning up any day now for the TV room!
Make sure you're following me on Instagram because I'm always sharing snippets of what I'm up to there - you might just get some sneak peeks there before they make it to the blog.
This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Dulux. You know how much I love paint!

The Wetseat is Australia's most trusted neoprene seat cover, the range of covers are aligned with the Australian way of life in mind, so whether its hard at work, playing in the mud or surf we've got your seats covered.
Made from 2.7mm UV safe neoprene The Wet Seat is highly water, abrasion and chemical resistant, they are easy to clean and very comfortable to sit on all year round. All covers include sharkskin rubber that is safe when fitted to cloth, leather and vinyl trims, the ribbed sharkskin grips onto the seat without movement, which in turn eliminates wear to your seats.
I have, over the years, had a couple of the tailored Westseats in my 200 Series and they are by far and away the best seat covers on the market in terms of snug fit, correct made-to-spec sizing, durability and 100% protection of the original seat trim. I have the front and back row tailored seat covers and love them!!
Absolutely fantastic covers & service from the staff. I had a pair on my Hsv ute until sold in 2009 then bought another set for my new Holden van in 2009 and that set I only replaced this year and now I have just bought a set for my wife's Ford Focus. So easy to wash and look after and the covers can take a lot of punishment and last years.
With purchasing our wet seat covers just over 12months a go, they are the best thing we ever did, with 3 children across the back seats and occasionally a dog, farm to farm daily jobs .. they haven't got a mark on them, they are extremely amazing and live upto expectations.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANY VEHICLE extremely happy with the finished product
Had them in my old xtrail, fitted to perfection, best seat covers for beach, dogs, camping etc. Just purchased a new MUX and first thing I did was purchase these seat covers again! Great product and great service!
The Wetseat covers are a great idea, and work very well. We have fitted them to our work vehicles to protect the seats and so far they are magic.
I'm onto my 3rd set of Wetseat covers. Such a brilliant product! Comfortable, durable and look great also! My latest vehicle a 2013 SR5 Hilux has just had its new black covers put on and they didn't disappoint - recommend to anyone spending a little more for such a sensational product!
Awesome product, awesome service! These boys are the bees knees!
Awesome service at a great price was even able to speak to the salesman I bought them off at Brisbane 4x4 show over the phone in another state to help with some fitting tips when they arrived. Much better material then My old sheepskins as doesn't seem to hold the apprentices sweaty scent in the passenger seat.
The Wetseat are the best covers I've had on my cars period. I love them. They are a great design & very practical here in Darwin where temperatures inside the car including the humidity are at extremes. Your seat covers work perfectly here keeping me comfortable, cool and sweat free! Great Aussie company keep up the exceptional product and quality.
I have used The Wetseat since 2009 in all our family vehicles from a Fiesta & CX-5 to a Hilux & Ranger. They are easy to fit & look Awesome. The best thing is that when the mud, Sand, crayons & the kids drinks have covered the seats they can be removed & thrown in the washing machine and come out looking brand new! I highly recommend this product!
Bought my first set of Wetseats in 2015 for my Ranger. They were easy to fit & fitted nice a snug to the seats. Even with a lifted vehicle sliding in & out of the seats they didn't wear on the edges.
My mate just brought a different brand but same style to save money the quality and fitting difference is ridiculous. I wouldn't buy any other brand!
Can't recommend The Wetseat highly enough. After I made a mistake with my order they were so helpful in facilitating the return of an incorrect size & the speedy delivery of the correct size cover. Nothing was too much trouble and service was very efficient & friendly. Such a pleasant experience to deal with a company who put their customers first!
Bought a last minute Christmas present for my husband. The service was excellent from the first phone call. Delivered to me in under 3 days (I live in remote country) and he is very happy with the product ! Can't recommend enough, and thanks for making a great Christmas surprise for him.
By far the BEST seat covers we have ever bought. They fit like a second skin! The whole process from placing the order to receiving them has been easy and stress free. I highly recommend these guys! Can't wait for my front set to arrived now!
I can't recommend Wetseat high enough. Fantastic to deal with both with the initial order and with after sales service when I mistakenly ordered the wrong models seat covers. The end product is fantastic and fits like a glove, exactly like a high end seat cover should. Thanks again guys we will definitely be purchasing again.
Thank you so much guys, you sorted out a full set of Wetseat covers for my NP300, it was a big rush but you delivered & got them to me in time for me to fit before taking us all away for Easter, 2 adults, 3 kids & 3 dogs all in the cab! You can imagine how filthy it got camping in the dunes, got home & I've never had it so easy cleaning the seats!

You may recall awhile back, Pattern Revolution had a huge give-away. By the time I entered, I was #10,000 and something, but I entered anyway, can't hurt right??? Well believe it or not I won a prize package of my choice of one pattern from ten, yes, TEN different pattern designers. I thought I would sew up a top from one of the patterns I had won. Yippeee, I felt very,VERY lucky !!!!
Peek-A-Boo Pattern Shop was one of the shops I won a pattern from. We (my daughter and I), chose the Sweetheart Halter Top. Everything about the top appealed to her. She loves halters, the sweetheart neckline, and the fullness of the top,
As it turned out this is a win,win pattern....She loves the look and feel. I LOVE IT because it is a quick, easy pattern to cut, sew and finish!!! I had a little piece of the blue with white dots border fabric that worked perfectly for this top so I got to use some stash up too.
The pattern is only four pieces and goes together so quickly. It has a small amount of gathering on the front, a bias binding for the back( where the elastic goes,) and ties. And because you can mix and match different fabrics you can use up those pretty little pieces that you can't bare to part with.
I used the poofy flower border print for the front, just the plain dots for the back, a piece of embroidered white eyelet for the bodice and pink/white gingham for the bias trim/tie. Amy's tutorial/directions are good with lots of pictures,and she is available to answer questions. If you are a just getting started at sewing, go ahead and give it a try, I think you will love it. This pattern comes in sizes 6 mons. to 12 yrs. And if you are an experienced sewist this is a quick to finish, fun to sew, get it done and out the door pattern. So I would like to say a big THANK YOU to AMY for my free pattern. You can meet her on her blog Nap Time Crafters, and see all her other cute patterns at at her shop.. One more photo please...I'm just thrilled she likes it (she said she wants more)!
Hoping you are enjoying your summer.....
Until next time
Have fun Sewing..
p.s. go check what everyone else is sewing this week....click on the KCW button on the right....

Federal health care reform to benefit millions of baby boomers
If you're a baby boomer, especially a boomer on a tight budget, full implementation of the federal health care reform law can't come soon enough.
In 2009, about 8.6 million Americans age 50 to 64 were uninsured. Three out of four said they couldn't afford health care, or had problems paying for things such as prescription drugs and medical equipment. The federal health care reform law promises to bring those numbers down considerably.
A new study from The Commonwealth Fund found that those 8.6 million uninsured boomers will benefit from the law, along with 9.7 million boomers who have what the organization calls inadequate health insurance. The Commonwealth Fund is a nonprofit foundation that researches health care issues.
Among the 18.3 million boomers who stand to benefit are 7 million who either will be able to afford subsidized private insurance or can be covered by Medicaid. The Medicaid program will be expanded to include all legal residents with income up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level ($14,404 for a single adult or $29,327 for a family of four).
According to the study, high unemployment has contributed to the health insurance gap among boomers. Texas (22.5 percent), Florida (20.6 percent) and New Mexico (20.1 percent) lead the nation for the highest percentages of baby boomers who are uninsured, the study indicates.
The 50-64 age group is susceptible to chronic health problems, making it difficult to obtain affordable insurance in today's marketplace. In fact, of the 8.6 million uninsured baby boomers, about 25 percent hadn't had a colonoscopy in the past five years and another 10 percent hadn't had a cholesterol screening, the study shows.
Insurance fraud on the rise: Suspicious property and casualty insurance claims jumped 12 percent in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the same period in 2009, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
Among the most popular reasons for referral of questionable casualty insurance claims to the crime bureau were excessive medical treatment (33 percent), staged auto accidents (31 percent) and inflated billing (29 percent). Questionable hail damage claims (84 percent increase) led the way in the property insurance category, according to the crime bureau.
Mini-meds in plain English: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued new guidelines for insurers that offer limited-benefit health insurance plans, or "mini-meds."
Most notably, the Department of Health and Human Services said insurers must notify consumers in plain language if the annual benefits of their mini-med plans are lower than what's required by law. The federal health care reform law will prohibit annual dollar limits beginning in 2014.
The plain-language measure stems from a Capitol Hill hearing Dec. 1 where U.S. senators grilled a McDonald's Corp. executive about the fast-food chain's limited-benefit health insurance plans. Those plans serve about 30,000 hourly employees.
Annual benefits for most mini-med plans range from $2,000 to $25,000. A little more than 1 million consumers have these plans.
Proponents praise these plans for providing affordable health insurance to low-income workers who normally wouldn't have access to even the most basic health benefits. Opponents say these policies give consumers a false sense of security, because many of them don't realize that major medical procedures and extended hospital stays aren't covered.
"Now, we're taking an unprecedented step to ensure consumers are informed when they purchase policies that offer limited coverage," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says.

With an earth-shaking boom, demolition experts toppled the smokestack at the Holcim (US) Inc. cement-making plant Thursday, leveling in seconds what stood for a half-century as a Dundee-area landmark.
With an earth-shaking boom, demolition experts toppled the smokestack at the Holcim (US) Inc. cement-making plant Thursday, leveling in seconds what stood for a half-century as a Dundee-area landmark.
Crews with Midland-based Bierlein Companies knocked down the 350-foot-tall brick-and-concrete stack around 1 p.m. as part of an overall demolition plan for the idled plant.
About 50 pounds of dynamite had been planted around the base 36 feet in diameter so that the structure would fall like a tree in a northerly direction. It cascaded into a cloud of dust on an empty adjacent lot just as the demolition crew had planned while some onlookers clapped and others shed tears of nostalgia.
Preparation for the demolition began Monday, with workers from Bierlein and Tulsa-based Dykon Blasting Corp. mapping out the stack structure. On Tuesday and Wednesday, small sections on one side of the base were carved out to control the direction of the fall, and 120 holes were drilled to hold sticks of dynamite, said Keith Osmon, Bierlein project manager.
Three minutes prior to the explosion, a warning horn sounded. Another sounded with a minute left, and then a Bierlein worker counted down the final 10 seconds. The ground shook as a large boom raised a cloud of dust near the base, then the top of the stack tilted to the north and the entire structure crashed sidelong into the ground, raising a big, brown cloud of dust. Some people cheered, others applauded, a few dabbed away tears or exchanged hugs.
"It was just like felling a tree," said Mr. Osmon after the dust had settled. It left a long pile of cement dust and brick rubble on a vacant lot adjacent, taking out a former lightpole in the process, just as had been expected.
He said the bricks and mortar will be used as backfill as the many of the other structures are demolished over the next few months. About half the plant structures will remain because the facility still is being used as a product distribution terminal, employing about six.
It is a shadow of the former work force, which numbered more than 160 when production ceased in early 2009, with company officials contending that increasing competition from imports took a toll on business.
Fred Osborn, site superintendent at the plant, said the toppling of the smokestack was a nostalgic moment for many.
"It's sad," he said. "I drive in from Britton every day, and it was always there."
Tim Schlosser, a former employee who is starting work again for Holcim to oversee the mothballing or demolition of Dundee and five other plants, took time off from his present job in Oregon, Ohio, to come and see the smokestack fall.
"It means a lot to a lot of people," he said while awaiting the demolition with a knot of past and present employees watching at the site. Some area residents had parked along the entry road to the plant to watch a piece of history bite the dust.
The stack sprouted in the late 1950s and had a liner of brick and an exterior of concrete, linked on the inside by ladders and catwalks. For many years, it was a sign of both prosperity and pollution for Dundee. Although it provided many area jobs, it also spewed a thick plume of ash into the air because an oily substance in the limestone used to make the cement caused pollution-control equipment at the facility to operate ineffectively. Area residents also periodically complained of ill effects and odors they blamed on the plant's emissions.
When it began operating in 1959, the plant was called Dundee Cement and was the first U.S. plant for Holderbank, a Swiss-owned multi-national commodities firm. It went through name changes over the years but remained owned by the same company.
Holcim continues to operate other cement terminals and plants in the United States, and its U.S. corporate headquarters still operates across N. Ann Arbor Rd. from the old cement plant.

Anybody who loves to cook will eventually venture into the world of cake baking and decorating. While the basic principles are the same, baking and decorating require more skill than cooking basic dishes. For one, the assortment of cake supplies Melbourne groceries have today may prove confusing and overwhelming to beginners. Also, different cakes require different cooking temperatures and times, depending on the ingredients and size of the cake.
If you are among cake enthusiasts but have no idea on the basics of baking and decorating, below are helpful tips that may help you learn. You will find information about the basic tools for baking as well as some tips that might help beginners in their first attempt in cake decorating.
Basic Tools
If you're serious about cake decorating, you need cheap cake decorating supplies. Although some cakes might require special tools and equipment, here are some of the most basic ones that all cake decorators and bakers need to have:
- Cake pans – Of course, you can never bake without cake pans. With the variety of cake supplies Melbourne stores offer today, you will surely find ones that are round, square and rectangular. These are three basic cake shapes so you can use them over and over again in various projects.
- Cupcake pans – Small pans designed for cupcakes. Most beginners start with cupcakes, so purchasing cupcake pans is also recommended.
- X-acto blade – You can decorate cakes with precision without either an X-acto blade or a really sharp knife. You can use the knife to cut out different layers and sculpt the cake with various details.
- Scraper and Spatula – When it comes to decorating, the messiest part is leveling that icing, frosting, and fondant. Without these tools, your cake might end up looking messy and uneven.
- Paint brushes – Yes, cake decorating is now an art, and brushes are actually quite commonly used in decorating cakes. Expert decorators use brushes to add sugar glue or water to help the fondant stick to the cake layer better.
As for the edible ingredients like those used for baking the cake itself, they can simply be bought whenever you need to start a new baking and decorating project. However, investing in these and making room for them in your kitchen isn't a bad idea if you want to get serious about baking and decorating cakes. You should also buy edible cake decorations to make detailing and decorating less of a hassle for you. Edible decorations are also better for kids, who tend to eat anything they see on a cake. Choice Cakes
Starting Small
Experts recommend that if you want to start baking cakes, it's better to start small. Surely, if you're just starting out, there are probably a hundred ideas you want to try out all at ones. For this reason, baking and decorating cupcakes is the best way to go. You can practice on these and try out different styles without wasting too much money and effort.
Aside from your own skills and talents in baking and decorating, one other important factor that impacts the result of your work is the quality of your baking and decorating supplies. This is why it's important to get only the best cake decorating supplies Australia has to offer. Even if you are a master cake designer in the making, if your supplies are sub-standard, your creations won't live up to its potential. Of course, it's understandable that you'd want to get the cheapest cake supplies Melbourne stores offer if you just want to "try it out", but if you are serious about decorating, this should also be reflected in the supplies you use.

In the past five years, one Bay Area city has placed a soda tax measure before its voters, passed a strong rent control measure, and rejected a big-money city council campaign from its biggest employer. And no, it wasn't Berkeley.
The notable misstep by the Richmond Progressive Alliance, says writer Steve Early, was their backing of a hotly contested soda tax on the city's ballot in 2012, a defeat that took down their two candidates as well.
But in the long-run, Early predicts, ongoing trends in Richmond's municipal demographics suggest that there will continue to be a strong and growing constituency for the Richmond Progressive Alliance.
Steve Early will be at Book Passage in Corte Madera talking about his book on Wednesday night, Feb. 8. He'll also appear Tuesday night, Feb. 7 at the Glaser Center in Santa Rosa, in a forum about Richmond's Rent Control Law. That event is hosted by North Bay Jobs With Justice:
"A special event, "How Richmond Won Rent Control," a forum with Steve Early and Zak Wear, is aimed especially for the leaders and key members of groups participating in the Fair and Affordable Santa Rosa campaign to oppose the June ballot proposition to repeal the rent control ordinance approved by the Santa Rosa City Council last fall. The event, moderated by Annie Dobbs-Kramer, will feature Steve Early, veteran labor organizer and author of Refinery Town: Big Oil, Big Money, and the Remaking of An American City on how a progressive majority was elected to the Richmond City Council, and passed rent control and just cause eviction ordinances; and Zak Wear, who coordinated the winning campaign in which a large majority of Richmond voters supported and upheld the ordinances in the face of fierce opposition from business forces.
"The event will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 6 PM, at the Glaser Center (home of the Santa Rosa Unitarian Universalist Congregation) at 647 Mendocino Avenue in downtown Santa Rosa. It is designed as an information and strategy session for those groups and leaders already committed or considering joining the campaign. "

28 U.S.C. § 1447(e)
Once a class action has been removed to federal court based on diversity jurisdiction, a plaintiff may seek to destroy diversity by naming additional defendants. Any such attempt would fall squarely within the ambit of 28 U.S.C. § 1447(e), which provides as follows:
If after removal the plaintiff seeks to join additional defendants whose joinder would destroy subject matter jurisdiction, the court may deny joinder, or permit joinder and remand the action to the State court.
The plain language of the statute addresses the two most obvious questions. First, must the district court allow a plaintiff to join additional party-defendants?The answer is clearly "no" – Section 1447(e) expressly states, "the court may deny joinder" (italics added).
Second, must the district court remand the case to state court if it grants leave to add non-diverse party-defendants? Again, the answer is clear – "yes." As the Third Circuit observed, "Hence, a district court can sometimes, after suit is filed, permit the destruction of subject matter jurisdiction."Kabakjian v. United States, 267 F.3d 208, 212 (3rd Cir. 2001).
The Ninth Circuit addressed a situation where the district court granted joinder of non-diverse parties but did not remand the matter.See Morris v. Princess Cruises, Inc., 236 F.3d 1061, 1068 (9th Cir. 2001). Based on the particular circumstances of that case – viz., the existence of original jurisdiction over the matter had it been filed initially in federal court – the Ninth Circuit affirmed. The language of the opinion is, however, instructive:
Once removal has occurred, the district court has two options in dealing with an attempt to join a non-diverse party. 28 U.S.C. § 1447(e) provides that "[i]f after removal the plaintiff seeks to join additional defendants whose joinder would destroy subject matter jurisdiction, the court may deny joinder, or permit joinder and remand the action to the State court." Newcombe v. Adolf Coors Co., 157 F.3d 686, 691 (9th Cir. 1998). Here, the district court did neither, permitting joinder of the non-diverse parties while retaining jurisdiction over the action. If diversity were the only basis for the court's subject matter jurisdiction, joinder of the non-diverse Insurers would have divested the court of jurisdiction.Desert Empire Bank v. Ins. Co. of N. Am., 623 F.2d 1371, 1374, 1377 (9th Cir. 1980) (permissive joinder of nondiverse defendant following removal to federal court divested court of subject matter jurisdiction).
Morris v. Princess Cruises, at 1068 (italics added).
In sum, Section 1447(e) unambiguously gives the district court only two options when a plaintiff seeks to add a non-diverse party-defendant following removal of the case to federal court:"deny joinder, or permit joinder and remand the action to the State court" (italics added).

If you've been longing for an eco-friendly sports bra that's also comfortable, functional, and stylish, the Mi-Bra should jog your fancy. Made of 90 percent organic cotton with 10 percent Spandex for stretch (no one wants saggy underpinnings), the no-frills black bra is perfect for working out. It even has a thoughtfully placed pocket for you to tuck your MP3 player for hands-free listening.
The best part about the Mi-Bra? It only costs two tenners, which is a steal when you consider that similar organic-cotton sports bras land in the $30-$50 range. If you're paranoid about electromagnetic radiation in the vicinity of your chest—don't worry, we all have our tinfoil-hat moments—Carolina Baker-Norko, the founder of Mi-Bra, doesn't pooh-pooh your apprehension.
The best part about the Mi-Bra? It only costs $20.
The best part about the Mi-Bra? It only costs $20.
"The concern is something to think about," she says. "And I believe if [people] are worried about radiation, they should use the pocket for other things like debit cards, subway cards, dollar bills, or keys." In other words, just run with it.

Eighteen year old Liam Murphy was in action at the Castle Combe race circuit in Wiltshire recently, racing in the BRSCC Mazda MX5 Supercup Championship.
In the third round of the season Liam qualified in third position from the field of 29 cars.
In race one Liam did not get the best of starts as he was left spinning the wheels on the start line, he dropped down to 12th place and then set about making up as many places as possible, eventually climbing back up to sixth place.
In race two Liam got a better start and gained a place into the first corner, he then followed the four cars in front for a couple of laps until he saw an opportunity to pass three cars in one move and got into second place.
He then set off after the leading car and within three laps found a way through into the lead, he held the lead for three laps until the car behind got a tow down the long straight and managed to pass Liam with two laps to go. Liam eventually finished on the podium in second place just over a tenth of a second behind the winner and recorded his best finish of the season up to now.
Liam is now fourth in the championship standings with the next round at Snetterton in Norfolk at the end of June where he will be hoping to go one place better and get on the top step on the podium.
Liam is looking for any support from potential sponsors and local businesses who would like to help him try and win the championship in 2015.
Their name would be displayed on his car, with a very good chance of some television coverage, national magazines and race programmes, if anyone is interested in supporting a young up and coming local driver.

Interpublic's MagnaGlobal intelligence unit is the more pessimistic of the two, predicting a 0.2% decline for the region in 2012, after revising its December forecast of 1.1% growth.
Publicis Groupe's ZenithOptimedia has cut its March outlook of 1.5% growth to 0.4% growth.
The Spanish market is in dire straits, with MagnaGlobal expecting a drop of 8.4% and "the fourth year of downturn in the last five years", and Zenith forecasting a drop of 12%.
MagnaGlobal has now predicted Italy will also go into reverse, which is backed up by ZenithOptimedia's forecast of a 5% drop.
However, the UK is tipped by both agencies to escape the gloom on the continent.
ZenithOptimedia pegs the country's growth this year at 3.5%, down slightly from its 3.7% prediction in December.
MagnaGlobal has gone for 2.4%, commenting that the two big events of 2012, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympic Games, have proven even stronger than anticipated.
Optimism remains the prevailing mood at the global prediction level, although ZenithOptimedia has downgraded its forecast from 4.8% in March, to 4.3%.

One of the best things about the Family Tree DNA Conference each year is visiting with old friends, and making new ones. This picture just warms my heart, because Marja from Finland and Mike from Virginia are meeting in person for the first time here in Houston. They found each other through DNA testing, and I originally met both of them as clients. Indeed, if DNA testing has shown us anything at all, it's how small the world really is and how interrelated we are to the rest of humanity.
This is the 10th year of the conference, and it's much more like a homecoming or a family reunion that a typical conference. We've been in the same trench for a decade now!
Aside from lots of hugs, one of the things that happens from the time you find your first genetic genealogist on the hotel bus until your ride back to the airport is collaboration. Laptops abound and sharing is continual. It's such a rich environment.

The Heacock Hospice Pavilion
The residential hospice program provides inpatient hospice care in our Heacock Pavilion. Care recipients and families often choose this option if the patient's care needs exceed what the family is able to provide at home. Chandler Hall offers a homelike environment where round-the-clock nursing care is available.
The hospice program is also available short term for respite stays, symptom management and crisis care. The hospice staff values the individuality of every person receiving hospice care. There is respect for the individual's choices and values and respect for the family's roles, values and belief systems. The hospice staff communicates openly and honestly with the individual and their family.
Continuity of Care is a tremendous benefit and unique feature of Chandler Hall's Hospice Program. If a person is receiving hospice care at home and requires a short term stay for Symptom Management or Respite, they are able to admit to Chandler Hall's Heacock Hospice Pavilion, ensuring familiar faces and caregivers that are already familiar with their situation.
- Homelike Setting
- Oversized Beds
- Spa / Jacuzzi Tub
- Hair Dresser
- Daily Newspaper
- Private Kitchen Facilities
- Meditation Room / Library
- Computer Accessibility

- 24 / 7 Visiting Hours for Adults and Children
- Meal Options are available 24 hours per day
- Smoke-Free Setting with available Smoking Area
- Natural Setting surrounding the Patio & Garden area
As a pioneer in hospice care, Chandler Hall has been providing a caring and compassionate alternative for the patient and family faced with a terminal illness, regardless of ability to pay, since 1982. Centering on the care of the whole person, the hospice program helps people live well until they die. As one of the first two hospices in Pennsylvania, this in-home, volunteer-intensive program provided symptom control, family counseling, spiritual care and practical support to families. In time it became apparent that a need existed for an inpatient setting, and by 1986, Chandler Hall opened the doors to an eight bed residence, the forerunner of the current Heacock Hospice Pavilion, which was completed in 2001 and expanded our capacity to 14 beds, including private and semiprivate accommodations.

3. Add the whisked liquid mixture to the flour and again whisk well until smooth and thin batter is formed.
4. Strain the prepared batter through sieve to remove any lumps.
5. Heat a non stick pan, add oil to the pan and grease well.
6. Fill the can with batter, on the hot pan go in circular motion so batter pours through the can holes on the pan like net.( you can watch video to understand more).

Wieringerwerf, 24-08-2017.
The Double Slip Joint is being developed by KCI to replace grouted or bolted connections between the transition piece and monopile of wind turbine foundations. Together with partners Van Oord and SIF a joint project has been set up with support from TKI-Wind op Zee. We took an exciting new step in designing and building the set-up at scale 1:5 at WMC. This was a serious increase in scale compared to the "mini-tests" performed in the past by 3 TU-Delft graduates using Perspex prototypes. The DSJ is based on the use of two sets of two conical rings which can be placed inside each other and have a conical angle of two degrees. The transition piece will settle down under the cyclic loads of the turbine to a stable end condition. In this condition the slip joint can no longer move and as such can be compared to a "welded" connection.
The prototype diameter is 1.6 m and the longest component (TP) is about 15 m long and the weight is 12 ton. The small main part (FP) is about 6 m long and the weight is 5 ton. Is has been quite a challenge to transport the prototype about 240 km by road from SIF Roermond to WMC Wieringerwerf.
Because of the size, we decided to build a horizontal set-up instead of vertical. While the prototype is being tested it is suspended by two wires and counter weights are used to compensate for gravity. An axial cylinder pushes a constant force of 60 ton at the "Transition Piece" (TP) inside the "Foundation Pile" (FP). In reality the axial force will be the constant weight of the turbine. Bending loads due to waves and turbine loads are simulated in the tests by the two horizontal cylinders which can apply cyclic loads at the tube at 9 meters distance apart. The maximum forces will be 30 ton and can vary with a cycle period of about 60 seconds. A total slip is about 50 mm.
Regular load patterns can be applied as well as irregular loads. Each pattern results in a typical settling behavior, which are to be simulated numerically to validate the design model. Reproducing the mini-tests by simulations was successful, and now we tackle new challenges on a larger scale and with the use of steel.
Test plans and test results will be reviewed by DNV-GL as a first step towards design certification. The DSJ will participate in the Borssele V tender for the first full scale demonstration offshore in 2020.
