MANHATTAN — Ed Smith, a retired transit worker, was until recently collecting a pension like many other former city employees.
The only problem was that he died eight years ago.
In the meantime, his nephew, Kevin Smith, allegedly pocketed $181,000 of his uncle's monthly pension checks before the city finally caught on.
He wasn't the only one, according to a city Department of Investigation report obtained by DNAinfo.com New York's "On the Inside."
Emily Ardizzone's husband toiled for the Sanitation Department for decades before he died, leaving his wife with a pension. But after she passed away, her checks just kept rolling in, to the apparent joy of her son, Vincent, who collected nearly $5,000 and freely spent it, authorities said.
When investigators eventually went to talk to Vincent, he left a message on the prober's voicemail, saying "come get me," the report said.
Ardizzone, Kevin Smith and six others who allegedly stole nearly $400,000 in pension funds were named in the 19-page DOI report, which details a myriad of schemes to grab the loot, the bulk of which was garnered by suspects failing to report that their relatives had died.
One man, Christopher Weaver, 49, was accused of stealing $44,165 from his sister, who was supposed to get their mother's death benefit, by concocting a complex scheme to make himself the beneficiary, sources said.
Two other very much alive pensioners had a scam of their own — they claimed checks were lost in the mail and collected replacements.
The DOI also found two cases where pensioner's checks were, in fact, stolen. One involved a greedy neighbor in Queens who boosted a check from the mail, put her own name on it and cashed it. A similar theft took place in The Bronx.
According to the report, the DOI probe highlighted a crack in the system that relied heavily on relatives notifying the city when a retired worker died, as well as periodic checks.
As a result, the New York City Employee Retirement System implemented a new system within the past year that weekly compares a "Death Master File" provided by an outside vendor, National Technical Information Service, with their pension data bank.
"It stands to reason that the agency's more recent shift to a weekly comparison schedule should have the effect of detecting and apprehending pension fraudsters before they have the opportunity to defraud the city," DOI Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn concluded in the report.
The suspects had plenty of excuses.
Kevin Smith, 51, allegedly told investigators he believed he was entitled to the money and insisted he used it to pay for medical bills that piled up before his uncle died. He never provided receipts to bolster his claim, and his case was turned over to Manhattan federal prosecutors in Manhattan, authorities said. His case is pending.
Another suspect, Eve Gonzalez, 41, told investigators she believed the $58,235 she collected since her aunt Freda Adam, a former Health and Hospitals worker, died were the proceeds of a private annuity, sources said. Her case was recently turned over to the Manhattan District Attorney and is pending.
Jacqueline Kingcade, 60 who lives on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten, collected more than $100,000 and said she thought it was an "ordinary death benefit" left to her by her aunt, Pearl Floyde, a former Human Resource Administration employee, who retired March 4, 1998, and died Sept. 6, 2006.
But an "ordinary death benefit" is given out only when a city employee dies while still employed.
Kingcade offered to repay the money. Her case is still under DOI investigation.
Queens DA Richard Brown charged Deidre Harris Diallo, 43, who allegedly stole her neighbor's $4,960 pension check, with possession of stolen property and grand larceny. Her case is pending.
As for Vincent Ardizzone, 55, he pleaded guilty to felony forgery after DOI tracked him down. He was sentenced to one-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay back $4,561.

The city of Mississauga offers a wide variety of camps to families from throughout the Peel-Halton region. Listed below are summer camps in Mississauga, Oakville, Brampton and the rest of the region, including smaller centers such as Clarkson, Port Credit, Streetsville, Meadowvale, Milton and many other parts of the western portion of the GTA. These include tennis, golf, swimming, soccer, and karate camps.
These camps provide an ideal summer learning experience for kids and teens who may be otherwise disposed to spend too much time indoors engaged in activities that may not always be healthy. There are even camps in this area that are ideal for special needs children.
1. Plan from ahead before joining a camp. Last minute decision making can simple marr your program.
2. Decide on the category of camp you want to join. Choose accordingly.
3. Make up your mind whether you want to join a day camp or an overnight camp.
4. Consider the cost, but do not let this override other considerations.
1. Choose a camp that has proper accreditation.
2. Shortlist the best camps that fulfill your requirements.
3. Check the location of the camps to consider proximity to your home or morning commute, etc.
4. Consider the staff-to-camper ratio. The smaller this is the better care you will get.
5. Read the brochure carefully about facilities the camp offers. What special features do they have to make your child's camp experience uniquely interesting?
6. Go through testimonials to learn about the experiences of previous campers.
7. Join a demonstration session or camp expo if the camp provides one or attends one.
8. Talk with the staff personally to get inside information about the camp.
1. Camps encourage children to lead a more active life away from the temptation and stresses of urban life.
2. A new environment provides a recharge.
3. Camps stress physical fitness and healthy activity.
4. Make new friends in a new environment. People come from different backgrounds and come to live as one family.
My city, my Mississauga: Situated in the southern part of Ontario, the city has grown into the sixth most populous municipality in Canada. Mississauga has emerged as a significantly separate entity from Toronto, although it is of course close to Toronto and the cornucopia of activities offered downtown and elsewhere in the GTA. Top corporate giants of the world have their national headquarters in Mississauga. The development of the city in recent years is due to this progress.
Brampton: Brampton camps present the very best of outdoor education for kids interested in reconnecting to the environment. Check out the camps below to learn more what they have to offer your child(ren).
One mother's guide to keeping your kids allergy-free this summer. Whether it's at home or while kids are away at summer camp, these two things are a must to have on-hand. [Read more]

Case Study
T-Mobile Delivers "Un-carrier" Customer Service Using Jive-n and Jive-x
T-Mobile shook up the wireless industry in 2013 with its "Un-carrier" initiative, abandoning two-year phone contracts and hefty termination fees for a model based on superior customer service. At the center of that customer-centric strategy is Jive. Together, Jive-powered employee and customer communities provide a one-two punch that's helped T-Mobile drive higher satisfaction, retention and loyalty.

Bill would require teachers unions to pay for union work
LANSING, Mich. – Taxpayers would no longer have to foot the bill for teachers union bosses who spend all or part of their day on union business instead of teaching, according to MLive.
House Bill 4059 passed in that chamber last year and is now before the Senate Reforms, Reinventing and Restructuring Committee. If signed into law, it would apply to all government unions.
The bill allows for what is commonly referred to as "release time" in schools only if the teachers union reimburses the district for the cost of a substitute teacher, MLive reported.
"Taxpayers should not have to pay for the union to do union business," Rep. Marty Knollenberg, R-Troy, the bill's sponsor, told MLive.

OAK BROOK, ILL.—Retail Properties of America Inc. (RPAI), based in Oakbrook, Ill., has sold 13 former Mervyns locations in California for approximately $100.4 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay the outstanding loan on the 23-asset Mervyns portfolio.
"This sale is an important milestone in our strategic plan and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to focus on our three major initiatives for 2012, which include strengthening the portfolio, lowering our risk profile, and creating long-term value for our shareholders," stated Steve Grimes, president and chief executive officer for RPAI.
Taken together, the 13 assets represent approximately 1 million sq. ft. and are currently 99 percent leased. The portfolio includes four Hobby Lobby locations, four Kohl's locations and five Burlington Coat Factory locations.
"We anticipate closing on the sale of the majority of the remaining former Mervyns locations by the end of the year," said Shane Garrison, executive vice president and chief operating officer for RPAI.

The Bank of Canada devotes considerable energy to tracking the money supply, and in connection with this role it's been carefully documenting Canadians' growing love affair with plastic. Every so often it unearths some startling data.
The latest issue of the Bank of Canada Review, released on Thursday, reports that both the volume and value of old-fashioned money transactions has been on a steady decline since the early 1990s as consumers warmed up first to credit cards, then debit cards and more recently online payments. Last year total cash purchases were just $100-billion, compared to $180-billion for debit cards and more than $300-billion for credit cards. But here's the thing. Even while money is going electronic, Canadians are increasingly holding onto their cash.
According to the Bank of Canada, the value of bank notes in circulation has been increasing at an annual rate of 5% since 2000, roughly the same as total growth in personal spending.
On top of that, the ratio of large denomination notes to total consumer spending has been on the rise since the financial crisis that began in 2007.
So what's up with that?
The article, titled "The Changing Landscape for Retail Payments in Canada" obliquely points out that "Canadians also use cash for purposes other than as a means of payment. For example, individuals hold bank notes as a store of value and for precautionary purposes."
Are the authors suggesting that more and more Canadians figure their savings are safer under the mattress than in the bank? If so, it can't be good news for the Bank of Canada, guardian of the country's financial system.
And what about the growing preference for $100 bills? FP Street is skeptical that they're really all ending up in mattresses.
Once upon a time there were $500 bills, even $1000 bills, but nowadays the biggest denomanation still in circulation is the C-note. According to this intriguing report in Friday's National Post the $1000 notes, or "pinkies" as they were known among mob types, were withdrawn a dozen years ago after authorities determined they were mostly used in criminal transactions.

I propose we go back to a true 'green economy'. You know, one where we use no technology and hydro-carbons. It would be just like, oh, say, the paleolithic era. We can even have cool neat sounding politically correct names for each other's jobs like Wood-Fuel Expert for some ding-dong who gathers kindling and Shelter Location Facilitator for the mullet-head who can point us in the direction of a damp cave we can cower in while trying not to discover fire.

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these "THINGS" will be added unto you as well."
The tree of life is the goal for the Pagans. It will be denied, just as it was denied at Babel. Osiris/Nimrod/Apollyon was circumcised the last time. The next time is the abyss. Why follow him there if a better choice exists?
I'm not following anybody. You are the one following some ancient text, I am following my own heart and the wisdom I absorb during prayer and meditation, and the path that opens up based on my own life experiences. I don't have a plan, I'm just trying to evolve and gain something from every moment of this existence.
I'm not sure if you think living this life to the fullest is the same as seeking the tree of life, but if it is, then I'm guilty, and I'm guilty because God told me that was my purpose in this life. I talk to God often, and when I am patient and focused enough to listen, I get profound wisdom from it. I know, with 100% certainty that God wants me to stop wasting a single second of this life, and he wants me to experience it to the fullest. I also know God is not interested in worship. I'm not wasting any of my time worshiping an omnipotent being. That is a worthless use of my time, why would an omnipotent being have such a frivolous desire like worship?
I bet I could sit and tell you stories you wouldn't believe. Just opening one's self up to infinite possibilities is a miracle in and of itself. I had 2 NFL players at my father's day bbq yesterday. Total surprise, one is a friend, and he brought over his family, and a friend of his that was in town. This weekend I also watched a guy get drunk and decide to wrestle an alligator, I watched my 5 year old discover he could actually swim and lose his fear of the deepend and start jumping off the diving board all by his self. I was surrounded by friends and family from 11 a.m. until 1 a.m. last night, and then I went inside and had outstanding, porn star style sex with my little trophy wife until 2:30, and I was up at 5 to go running, and at work by 8, where I learned my extremely moody boss broke up with her boyfriend this weekend, and I spent the day getting my ass chewed as the substitute male for her boyfriend. I survived, barely, and came home, and grabbed the kids, and we visited my buddy that is battling cancer, and come to find out he hadn't eaten all day, so the dinner we brought to him was a huge pick-me-up, and now he is feeling a little better, and now I'm home typing this, and getting ready to watch a movie on the couch with my wife and kids.
I don't know how rewarding your Sunday was, but I think my last 30 hours or so had more love, and more random life experience than most people get in their entire year, and I didn't have to go to church or read a bible, or visit a lodge, or open a history book. All I had to do was live life to the fullest. I smoked a Liga Provida #9, I drank Armenian Cognac, and I chewed some Levi Garrett, and I enjoyed my friends and family and life.
My heaven is here and now, and my hell is here and now, and my goal is to experience the hell out of them, embrace every moment of joy and pain and strangle the life out of it, and evolve enough to become closer to God and join that spirit when this flesh rots away. I'm not interested in any carrot vs. stick scenario, and I'm not interested in 3000 year old text, and I don't give a damn what any preacher has to say about anything. I know what God tells me, and I go where God leads me, and one day I will be one with God. We are all Gods.
I know your Bible has that ridiculous Abraham story, and I know God and I talked about that particular story, and God doesn't need me as a friend, and God doesn't want me as an enemy. God and I have a mutual understanding and respect, and God wants me as a peer, not a servant, and it is my job to learn to exist as that peer and seek beyond what this flesh limits me to, but in the meantime God wants me to EXIST in all the glory I can exist in.

Giants Head Grind Supports A Giant Cause | May 17
Whether you run, walk or crawl, the annual Giant's Head Grind, happening May 17, is a one-of-a-kind experience in Summerland. Scale Giant Head Mountain, Summerland's volcanic landmark, on a course covering 5 kilometers and 500 meters of elevation.
Why would you make such an arduous journey? Well, if it's not for the competition, personal development or amazing scenery, do it for a good cause. The race is organized by the Summerland Rotary Club, with proceeds donated to colon cancer diagnostics research. Partial proceeds will also be donated to the funding, upkeep and improvement of the trail system of Giant's Head Park.
The Grind begins on the scenic shores of Okanagan Lake at Peach Orchard Beach. Participants will then follow the "beach-to-peak" course to the top of the mountain, covering the broad scope of Summerland's amazing and diverse natural landscape.
To many, the Giant's Head Grind is known as the Christopher Walker Memorial Race, conducted to raise awareness and funds for research into the disease that claimed his life in 2013. By encouraging outdoor exercise and promoting a healthy lifestyle, the race aims to honor Christopher's memory and provide hope for those suffering from colon cancer.
More than 300 runners are expected to participate this year. There's a lot to look forward to besides just the run. There will be a complimentary breakfast buffet, yoga in the park, and a post-race BBQ and awards ceremony.
Registration closes after May 10, so don't hesitate: go ahead and sign up! You can register as an individual or team. You can also make a donation, support an individual or team, or get a ticket for attending the BBQ only.
From everyone here at Summerland Waterfront Resort we wish the Giant's Head Grind participants the best of luck and offer our sincerest gratitude toward everyone supporting this very special cause.

This 1974 Ford Maverick only had one owner and is just 30 minutes outside of Missoula, Montana. The Mavericks are becoming more uncommon lately so if you're interested, this one is currently being listed on Craigslist with a $4,995 price tag.
This Maverick is a four-door car which is a very controversial topic in the motor world. A lot of people don't really see the value of a 4-door car and believe that a four-door car project is not really worth the time but everyone has their own opinion. This Maverick may not be a popular choice but there are still some who would enjoy it even if it is less than its 2 door cousins.
The Medium Ivy finish seems to be darker on the front and slowly lightens up further back. The picture may just probably be poorly taken and a closer look will shed some light on the true color of this car. What's clear is that the body is in great condition and has no major flaws. Considering that Montana gets a lot of snow yearly, this 42-year-old Maverick looks incredibly great. The 47,561 miles on its odometer can explain why it is in such good condition. The owner probably doesn't drive it too often during winters, or probably even the whole year round. It does come with 2 Cooper Weather Master snow tires so that's a good sign for anyone thinking of using it during winters.
The seller has not stated a lot about the interior but the interior close-up pictures are enough to tell that it is in great condition. Most of the interior seems to have been maintained really well and the details are still intact. The owner must really love this car to keep it this clean.
Being a 4-door car may not be appealing to most but the V8 certainly is. This Maverick is powered by the famous 5.0L Ford 302 cid V8 engine that is capable of producing 140 horsepower and a torque of 296 lb-ft. The Ford V8 is connected to an automatic transmission.
If you're into burnouts, this Maverick will probably do the job after some minor changes. The AC system is still working and blows cool air even after 42 years. This mostly original Maverick will surely be a great show car, especially after the fact that not a lot of them are around anymore. Even if this four-door 1974 Ford Maverick is not for everyone, it certainly isn't without value.

One of the highlights of the past few months was a photo shoot for Easter with Serendipity magazine. I had so much fun picking each headpiece for the models and the pictures turned out really great!
This was the spread in the magazine that was published in the March/April 2012 issue of Serendipity:
Quinn Carroll from Christopher Noland Salon in Greenwich did all the hair on the models and she was wonderful with the kids!
Bruce Plotkin was the photographer for the shoot and look what a fantastic job he did with the pictures! They all came out so lovely.
You may notice some of the headbands on the models are not on the website. They are my Rosette headbands and are made with individually hand rolled fabric rosette flowers. The older girls and moms love them because of the sophisticated look. The model on picture #8 is seen wearing a pink version. I am hoping they will be part of the website soon. But for now, they will be available on my trunk shows and once in a while, I might put one or two on facebook to sell.

Lizzie, Izzie + James: a "Smart Mom Pick"!
by Gigi Ross on May 13, 2011
That's my catchall term for clips, barrettes, ponies, headbands, and whatever else can adorn a little girl's hair.
My daughter's birthday present last year was a giant box of hairdoodles.
The only major bummer is that my daughter's hair is super fine, and a lot of the traditional hair accessories simply don't stay affixed to her hair. They slide out, and by the time I pick her up after school, it's danging at the end of a strand of a hair, like a fish on a hook.
Note: I am not a fan of my kid looking like an absolute ragamuffin. And that's precisely what she looks like with sad hairdoodles that won't stay in her hair.
I am encouraged by this online retailer of children's hair accessories called Lizzie, Izzie and James.
The owner of this business started it because she couldn't find hairdoodles that stayed in her kid's hair. A woman after my own heart.
Lizzie, Izzie and James makes handmade clips, headbands and more.
The headband pictured above is from their Hydrangea line. All of these headbands are made of wool felt and mounted on a fabric covered headband. Isn't the detailing on the flower pattern just precious?
One of the other headband collections they have is a sweet blossom pattern.
There are 4-5 other collections of headbands; they range from $10 to $18 each.
The array of hair clips is really cute as well. My daughter would love this "Flutterfly" design.
I also loved this piggie.
Two of the other styles offered include a rainbow and these adorable monogrammed clips.
The hair clips range in price from about $8 to $10.
I think these hairdoodles are really lovely. And, the sizing fits ages 3 up to adult – including the headbands – so these really are an investment you can make in quality accessories that will last a long time. To see all of the adorable styles, go visit Lizzie, Izzie and James.
We are so behind on updating this blog that I can hardly stomach it! Its just been an incredibly busy last few weeks and we are now coming up for air. Last week I met with the merchandising manager of nationwide department store chain and it looks like they want to carry Lizzie, Izzie + James! But first we need to jump through some hoops to get wired into their purchasing systems... stay tuned.
In the meanwhile, I want to catch up by posting a recent interview I did for examiner.com. The full text is included below.
Do It All Mamas (& Papas): Meet the mom behind Lizzie, Izzie + James accessories
By Angele Sionna, Early Childhood Parenting Examiner
April 21st, 2011 8:45 am ET
In today's Do It All Mamas (& Papas) the spotlight is on Sherryl Mascarinas, mom of three kids (6, 5, and 3 years old) (plus an 8-year old chocolate brown Weimaraner named Wendy), and the founder of the on-line children's accessories brand called Lizzie, Izzie + James.
Examiner: Tell me something unique/interesting about yourself.
Sherryl: I was born in the Philippines. When I was 4 years old, I told my mom that I wanted to marry one of the boys in my kindergarten class. The following year we were placed in separate classes and I forgot all about my future husband. At some point his family moved to New York and my family moved to Los Angeles. We bumped into each other by chance 12 years later when he was visiting family in California, and then saw each other again 2 years afterwards when I was visiting family in New York. We started dating during our college years, got married 10 years later, and have now been married for 8 years. So, my relationship with my husband has spanned two continents, the Pacific Ocean, 3,000 miles across the United States and over 30 years! That has to be pretty uncommon, if not unique!
Examiner: What is your business all about?
Sherryl: Lizzie, Izzie + James (www.lizzieizziejames.com) is a web-based children's accessories brand. We launched in January 2011 with a collection of hand crafted hair clips, headbands, and crowns made from premium wool felt in rich and vibrant colors. As we move forward, we plan to offer an array of other high quality accessories, such as: school bags, belts, hats, gloves, scarves, etc.
We think a business that can offer artisan quality children's accessories coupled with an excellent customer experience can do very well. In addition to an obsessive focus on design and quality, we offer things that make shopping enjoyable, such as: next business day shipment, a super low flat shipping rate, and a very liberal and straightforward full refund return policy. We want our customers to be thrilled with us, so we treat them the same way we would want to be treated. Most times, we go even further.
Examiner: What is your favorite product that you make or sell and why do you like or recommend it?
Sherryl: I'm a big fan of all our products, but recently I've been wearing two more often than the others: our Spanish Roses headbands and our Park Street Mini hair clips. Both collections are simple, colorful, and incredibly cute! They add an understated flourish to any outfit and are comfortable and versatile for both kids and grown-ups to wear all day.
Examiner: Why did you start your business?
Sherryl: It started as a hobby. I started making little hair clips and headbands for my daughters. Then I started giving them as gifts to their classmates and friends. Soon I was receiving frequent requests from family, and then from friends, then from friends of friends, then from moms who saw kids wearing my little creations around town. Eventually, I joined Etsy, an online platform for crafters and artists, and started selling under the name "Skylar's Candy Clips". I had customers from around the country and sold to a few boutiques in southern Connecticut, California, Texas, and even one down under in Sydney, Australia.
Ultimately, it was unsustainable because I was doing everything myself. I was making the products, taking the photographs, posting them on-line, blogging about them, packaging them up, and taking them to the post office. I would drive around to buy the raw materials and have to hunt for them when they weren't available at the usual stores. I was trying to do all that while managing a household of three busy kids. It was gratifying to make things that people enjoyed, but the process was as inefficient (and unprofitable) as could be.
In the fall of 2010 I decided to pause and regroup, and took some time to figure out how to turn my hobby into a viable business. I got my husband to help me and together we figured out the people and the pieces that needed to be brought together to make things work. I re-opened my doors under a new name, a brand new and expanded product line, and a dedicated web site 4 months later, in January 2011.
Examiner: What secret do you have to share with other parents about "having it all" with your family and business?
Sherryl: I wish I had the secret formula - I'm still trying to figure it out myself! I think like anything worthwhile, it takes hard work. Maintaining balance takes hard work. Achieving lofty goals takes hard work. I just try to spend my time on the things that really matter, and I let many far less important things go.
Examiner: What is the number one piece of advice you have for other parents?
Sherryl: I'm far from a parenting expert, but I think it's really important to set aside personal time. This may sound like a fantasy to many overworked and super busy moms and dads, but I'm convinced that it's a necessary part of being a happy and effective parent. You can't possibly be at your best (as a parent or a spouse) when you're not happy yourself. My husband and I still go out regularly – even when all we can do is grab a quick bite or a movie. We still see our friends (together and separately) and squeeze in long dinners with them as much as often as we can. My husband likes to go to the gym regularly and I sneak in quick workouts when I drop my youngest off at pre-school. I'm also preparing for my second half marathon in the summer, so the running regiment will give me consistent blocks of time to be by myself. My husband and I agree - we'd quickly lose our equilibrium if we gave up our personal time, so we work together to give it to each other.
Examiner: What is your (and your kids) favorite family activity?
Sherryl: We love to ski in the winter and swim in the summer. We also like to have friends and family over for long, leisurely, laughter filled meals. But most of the time, we like to stay in and watch movies together.
Examiner: Anything else you want to add?
Sherryl: I'm in awe of some of the people you've interviewed for this column. Thanks for taking the time to speak with me!
Our Playground headband from our Mead Park Bouquet collection was featured in The Tomkat Studio's photo shoot for HGTV! So cute!!!

Display Your Everyday Cute with Lizzie, Izzie + James - March 31, 2011
"Whether you are looking for flair for everyday or for special occasion pieces, you are bound to find the perfect accessory at Lizzie, Izzie + James."
You can read the review here, here, then here.
Jessica Shyba of Momma's Gone City wrote some very nice things about Lizzie, Izzie + James. Here are a couple of excerpts from "Winter Whimsy", April 4 2011:
"... Inside was the cutest shipment of lizzie, izzie + james felt crowns and hair accessories. Our afternoon was officially salvaged. Off we went to the grocery stores as a pirate prince and princess."
"... These beautiful crowns helped distract us from our routine and spruced up our imaginations a little. I imagine they will accompany us to preschool, to the pediatrician, to the post office, and to the green market as well."

We had a chance to chat with Jessika Hepburn, the talented editor of OMHG, an awesome online "community of independent children's retailers and the hip parents who support them". The full interview is below. You can also read it on their site here.
by Jessika Hepburn, editor
I have such a treat for you all today! I am happy to share the adorable clips, headbands & crowns of Lizzie, Izzie + James and to interview the creator, Sherryl Mascarinas. Lizzie, Izzie + James is simply filled with wonderful handmade designs and "everyday cute" for your little ones hair + super fun crowns for boys and girls. Sherryl was sweet enough to send me a package of goodies in time for Sela's birthday last week and I was really impressed not just with the high quality of the products but with her overall branding. Branding is so much more then a logo, when done well it showcases the product and makes it's own impression-from their website, beautiful photos + illustrations by the talented Mayi Carles to the packaging and products themselves, every bit of Lizzie, Izzie + James branding shows attention to detail and a love of quality handmade.
I caught up with Sherryl via email to find out more about Lizzie, Izzie + James and to share the story of her business with you!
1. Hi Sherryl! Thanks for visiting OMHG and sharing your wonderful business with us. Please tell us a bit about yourself & the story of Lizzie, Izzie + James:
Hi Jessika! Thanks for having me on OMHG!
Hi everybody, my name is Sherryl Mascarinas. I am the proud mommy of 3 awesome kids (ages 6, 5, and 3) and the founder of Lizzie, Izzie + James, a web-based children's accessories brand. We live in New Canaan, CT.
Lizzie, Izzie + James was born as a hobby. I began making little hair accessories for my first daughter when she was about a year old. Soon after, I began making them for family, then for friends, then for friends of friends, then for moms who saw my products around town. Eventually, I opened a little store on Etsy and began selling to customers across the country. It was easy to get started, but it was very limited and was ultimately unsustainable because I was doing everything by myself. I'd hunt for the materials, make the products, photograph them, blog about them, then package and mail them. I was the entire supply, production, and fulfillment line. Although it was great to offer a product that my customers really enjoyed, it wasn't at all profitable and it definitely was not scalable.
In the fall of 2010, my husband convinced me to pause and to think seriously about what I wanted to do with my little business. Making it viable in a meaningful way was going to take serious re-design and some investment. I decided to make a go at it, and together we figured out the people and the pieces that we needed to put in place to make it work. We re-launched in January 2011 with an organized supply and production process, an expanded product line, and a dedicated website.
2. I just love the samples you sent me, your accessories are so adorable & well made! But I was also really impressed by your packaging & all over branding + was really excited to find out the lovely Mayi Carles did some designs for you. Can you tell us about how you have built your brand & created your packaging?
Thank you! Branding is a really important part of the customer experience, so we knew we had to get it right. We also realized that although we had a vision for what we wanted, we needed talented people with the right experience and skill sets to help us execute and bring it to fruition. Basically, we had to build a good team. After doing a bunch of interviews, we enlisted a small branding agency, a web developer, and a photographer. Then we managed their work and kept them talking to each other continuously so that their efforts would be consistent and cohesive as a whole. That's how I think our website came out so well!
As it relates to packaging, we had a pretty clear idea for what we wanted to do. But we also wanted to bring in someone with a fresh perspective and a unique artistic point of view. That's when we approached Mayi Carles to produce those incredibly cute illustrations for us! You can see the fantastic work she did for us here.
3. What is a typical "day in the life" for you?
My days are pretty kid centric. Typically, it starts with getting the kids dressed for school, cooking their breakfast, packing their lunches, and getting them all out of the door. Then I work until they get home in the mid-afternoon. If I'm lucky, I can squeeze in some time for a run or a workout in the gym. When the kids get home, they take over completely. We hang out, do some crafts, do homework, sometimes some baking, and then get ready for dinner. Bedtime for the kids is 8:00. After that usually comes more work, then some time to relax with my husband.
4. Sometimes balancing parenting + work is HARD! What are some strategies or organizational tips that you have learned along the way?
It is hard! I'm still trying to figure it out, but there are two basic rules I try to stick to. The first is that I try to spend my time and energy only on those things that really matter. A lot of things crop every day, but a lot of those things are really just noise – I try to let those things go.
The second rule is that I make sure to set aside time for myself. I'm convinced that personal time is a necessary part of being a happy and effective parent. I can't be at my best (as a mom, a wife, a friend, etc.) when I'm harried and fatigued. I need time to go to the gym, to see friends, to read a book, or to do nothing. I need it to keep things in balance and in perspective. I come back refreshed and better able to manage whatever is on my plate.
5. Where does the magic happen? We would love to see some pictures of your studio & where you create!
My "studio" currently resides in our basement. A good amount of the work still happens here, but a fair amount also happens outside with some local crafters that we enlisted to help us.
6. What are your plans for Lizzie, Izzie + James in the future? Do you have anything new & exciting in the works?
Over time, we plan to expand to a broader array of children's accessories, maybe even apparel. But at a higher level, what we really want to build is a brand that is known and trusted for three things: irresistibly cute children's items, awesome quality, and incredible service. We want our customers to be thrilled with us, so in addition to making high quality products that children love, we also offer service that makes shopping an experience that moms will enjoy. For example, we stock all of our items so that we can ship orders on the same day or by the next business day. Low shipping cost is part of a great shopping experience, so we offer $3 flat rate shipping and free shipping on orders over $50. Most importantly, we want our customers to be happy with their purchases, so in case they change their minds, we offer a 60-day any item, any reason, full refund return policy. No re-stocking charges, no quibble. We'll even refund original shipping costs. If we can be known and trusted for great products and great service, we're confident that we'll have a good shot at doing well, however we might evolve in the future.

A new book on African-American history has just been published that presents slavery from a new perspective. Jubilee: The Emergence of African-American Culture is a series of essays and photographs that presents the story of a people not as victims, but as survivors of a cruel and oppressive institution and, who in spite of all that, emerged to become an integral part of American history and its culture.
The institution of legal slavery in the United States spanning the 16th to mid-18th centuries is a blight on this nation's history that most people would just as soon forget, both the descendents of slave owners and African-Americans whose ancestors were enslaved themselves. But in the new book, Jubilee, author Howard Dodson says it is time to re-examine the period of slavery beginning with the term itself.
"They were human beings caught in a bad situation trying how to figure out how to make it better," he explains. "That's the simplest way of thinking about this. That's been one of the problems with so much of the previous work and the previous scholarship is that people would begin the conversation by defining them as slaves, rather than defining them as human beings in a state of enslavement."
"And if they are human beings in a state of enslavement, then they are certainly perfectly capable of assessing their situation," he adds, " of developing images and notions about their ideals for themselves, for their families, for the world, and acting on those ideals to bring them into reality."
Howard Dodson is also director of the Schomburg Center in New York City, one of the most prominent institutions of black scholarship in the world. He says the book Jubilee is a celebration not of slavery itself, but of the rich culture that emerged from a people who, under the worst of circumstances, managed to create a new way of living by combining their African heritage with European traditions.
"They invented new languages so they could communicate with one another and their European captors," he explains. "They create new family life. They create new music. It's not simply picking up African music and dropping it here, but bringing in these diverse musical forms. But probably most important is they create themselves as new people."
Jubilee is an African-American word meaning "day of freedom." The colorful coffee-table book includes other essays by leading African-American scholars who write about such issues as family, religion and Africans in the military. Essayist Gail Buckley is the author of American Patriots: The Story of Blacks in the Military from the Revolution to Desert Storm. The daughter of legendary singer, Lena Horne, Ms. Buckley began research on her book after completing a work about her family, The Hornes. At a reception for the publication of Jubilee, she said much about African-American history "that seems to be new really isn't, but is gradually being re-discovered."
"Specifically in the 18th and 19th centuries, in my own particular field, the story of blacks in the Revolution and the Civil War were well known. This history was erased because of southern revisionism at the beginning of the 20th century," she said. "And southern revisionist historians wrote new textbooks which are basically taught in American public schools from 1900 to 1970 in which black military valor was erased to propagate the myth of the happy slave."
Among Ms. Buckley's other findings was that twentieth-century-America was what she believes to have been a "much more racist period than even the 18th and 19th centuries."
"For example, in World War I, Woodrow Wilson [28th president, 1913-1921] was arguably the most racist war time president," she noted. "He was the first southern Democrat to be president since the Civil War. He was an overt racist. He re-segregated Washington, D.C. and the federal government which had been de-segregated during the Civil War. He would not allow black soldiers to fight under the American flag in World War I. They fought under the French flag in French uniforms. Black historians wrote about that. So this was known and then it was erased, it was silenced, it was paved over. So each discovery was so much fun and exciting."
Gail Buckley says she applauds Jubilee and other publications now coming out that document what she describes as "completed American history."
Another contributor is Annette Gordon Reed, whose essay, "Sacred Legacies" comments on the black family. She says for many people, black and white, there is still some aversion to addressing the issue of slavery. Ms. Reed says she approached her subject not in general terms but from an individual's point of view.
"One of the things I try to do in my work is to try to think about what it was like for the enslaved person, taking the abuse and taking a sense of hopelessness but still managing to hope in the midst of all of thi," she explained. "And you can see from the book and the creation of music, of poetry, of spirituals and things like that, that had to come out of a culture that was always struggling that they had not given up."
Author and editor of Jubilee, Howard Dodson says he produced Jubilee in hopes of reaching as wide an audience as possible. He says he also hopes it will act as an invitation to other ethnic groups to dig a little deeper into their own histories where, "they too may find an opportunity to set the record straight."

Restored 23 Mar 2017, orig. 2 Nov 2015
During Netlabelism's foray into technical difficulties, I had ample opportunity to explore the netlabel universe. One of my prize finds is a label called Cyan Music.
They are a Germany-based label that focuses on electronic, ambient, and lounge music. With at least 17 artists and 72 releases stretching back to 2010, Cyan proves itself to be an active and prolific supporter of the netlabel community. Admittedly, I haven't had the chance to listen to all of it albums yet, but I've heard several of them, and I like what I've found.
To cite a few examples, from the downtempo/lounge region of the musical spectrum, Smooth Genestar's Sputnik EP and D-Echo Project's Unity in Diversity (both volumes) stand out to me. Out in the furthest reaches of space, I found Condensspur's several miles wide. I felt so good after hearing this one that I had to make it the subject of my next review, that is, this one.
Russian-born Ivan Maier, aka Condensspur, has been producing music since at least 2006 as part of the ambient project Rabitza. In 2013, he created his Condensspur moniker. To get an idea of his inspiration, we can look at Cyan's artist page. Among others, we find Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, and Solar Fields; all of which are pretty big in their respective fields, to say the least.
Several Miles Wide consists of six semi-long tracks (average length ~8 minutes) filled with progressive and spacey synths, thumping and rhythmic bass lines, quirky glitches to tweak your brain, and plenty of chilled (and sometimes trippy) vibes.
For example, the first track "Oko" ("eye" in old Russian) starts slow, like an eyelid gradually opening. Glitches, chimes, and synth vibrations stir us from our slumber. A little more than a minute in, a deep, resonating bass churns in the background while what sounds like voices begin to rise. The tempo steadily increases with high hats and various percussion until the halfway point when our pupils can finally see. With a whooshing wave of energy, the track picks itself up and splashes our eardrums. By now, we're wide awake and grooving with the track.
"Sternwarte" (named for an observatory in Germany) is another stand-out. The beginning is deceptively slow. We hear footsteps and the sound of an electrical system powering up, maybe the giant telescope. Among a plethora of building synths, a pulsing rhythm emerges. By the two-minute mark, the scope is running and we're ready to take our first look at the heavens. As though witnessing the start of a meteor shower, the first of many synths streak through the soundscape while a second, more patient layer orbits around like planets. Before long, the heavens are aglow with stars and solar systems, moons and meteorites and nebulas. The tracks fades leaving us with the distinct impression that we just experienced something raw and magical.
Considering the album as a whole, layers upon layers of synths and glitches coupled with a strong sense of progression and tone leave little to be desired. In short, several miles wide should not be missed.

Commando – A One Man Army is directed by Dilip Ghosh. Commando is a hardcore action drama movie starring Vidyut Jamwal and Pooja Chopra. The story of Commando is about captain Karanvir Dogra who is a commando with 9 Para Commandoes of the Indian Army and crashes into the Chinese part of the country. Karan is not able to convince the Chinese of his bonafides as they don't find any wreckage. They feel that they can now brand him as a spy and use this justification to humiliate the Indian Government. Indian Government feels that under these situations, the Chinese will not accept any evidence of Karan having crashed during a usual training, and so they wipes away Karan's army record and merely deny his existence.
Now Karan escapes from the Chinese part of the country before he can be sentenced, and crosses into Himachal Pradesh at the Lepcha border and travels through Kinnaur to reach his base at Pathankot. As Karan crosses the Himachal – Punjab border, he encounters with a girl, Simrit (played by Pooja Chopra), who is escaping from the hands of Amrit Kanwal Singh's (Jaideep Ahlawat) goons. Amrit Kanwal Singh (an infamous character) wishes to marry Simrit for political benefits, because marriage will lend him some propriety. Karanvir warns the goons to leave her alone, but they do not listen and bear the impact of his confined anger. Simrit far from being thankful tells Karan that he has created more trouble for her and now he must accompany her till she feels safe. Amrit Kanwal surprises them on the Andheria Bridge, and now discovering himself outnumbered, Karanvir jumps off the bridge with Simrit into a fast-flowing river that carries them into a bushy forest. Karanvir hears Simrit's side of story and promises to help her. He decides to stick to the jungle road and then get out of it once they feel that the problem and tension on Simrit's head from Amrit Kanwal Singh and his men has been died down. Amrit Kanwal Singh on the other hand decides to chase them till his last breath. Now begins a cat and mouse game between Amrit Kanwal, his men and Karan in the thick forest. Will Karan rise to the incident and save Simrit and all the people who are living under a supremacy of terror unleashed by Amrit Kanwal and his men, or will AK74 as Amrit Kanwal is known in the area will carry on to let lose his control of terror? To find out more please wait and watch the movie Commando – A One Man Army on Bollywood Dhamaal.

Although the pair of giant pandas in the National Zoo in Washington has not been productive, the news of panda births in zoos in Mexico City and Tokyo is welcome. The panda, which is a primitive bear, captures the public imagination not only because it is cute but also because it is an endangered species threatened by encroaching farms and a cyclical die-off of the bamboo forests on which it feeds.
The world`s zoos are cooperating to perform an important function by protecting and trying to propagate fauna on the verge of extinction, like the panda. Chicago`s zoos, for example, have specialized in such animals as the gorilla and okapi, a rare relative of the giraffe that because of its habitat in the remote jungles of Africa was not even known to exist until this century.

Timeline: Aberdeen's City Garden Project

The Book of Job has held a central role in defining the project of modernity from the age of Enlightenment until today. Why has Jobas response to disaster become a touchstone for modern reflections on catastrophic events?
