I use them all as bookmarks and rotate out. I have no problem sharing them with others, too. Pens are another big hit for me to accept and give out. Everyone uses pens. I love the idea of giving out food samples related to the book, but will readers actually remember a book from it? Perhaps.
I just won a book from author Margaret porter. With it, she sent me maple sugar candies. Will I remember the author and her book? Yes, I will.S.J.

I don't do events in person but every now and then I have a giveaway--for signing up for my newsletter, usually, or when I do an online book club guest appearance. I've given away books, Amazon gift cards and once a set of sparkly gel pens. I recall there was a lot of excitement over the gel pens.

I hand out business cards, too, but not very often and usually not at author events. I usually hand them out when I meet people in conversation--people who are interested in knowing more about my writing. I don't carry postcards with me anywhere but author events, so business cards come in handy sometimes.

I think we stretch ourselves too thin on social media for the same reasons--it's hard to sit there and wonder if you're doing all you can to reach as many readers as possible and make yourself memorable. And it's tempting to try everything just to see what works. Hence the swag. There are a few very memorable swag items I've gotten at conferences/festivals and they stand out above all the rest. We all want to hit on that certain thing.

I agree that the recipe cards are a great idea, too.

About Me
- Cathy Clementz
- A long time ago, I was a child. (I started out as Cathy First from Colon, Mi.) For the past several years I've been an adult. A lot of things went on between those two stages of life; probably no more or no less than anyone elses. My husband and I moved to "da U .P" from southern Lower Michigan several years ago (yes we were trolls at one time). We owned and operated and operate Clementz's Northcountry Campground and Cabins just north of Newberry, Michigan until May 2015. We have grown kids and grandkids (who all live downstate). My passion is life and all that Nature has to offer us and trying to photograph it in unique ways. Our intention in life is to see all that Nature has to offer us. We hope that you will be a part of our adventures as we cruise through our lives together. Come back often!
Friday, May 28, 2010
The veins on the top of my hands are especially prominent. All the nurses remark about my excellent veins.
But when it comes time to insert an I.V. needle (or ANY kind of needle) in the vein in the top of my hand, FORGET IT. They will roll all over the place. It's a "catch me if you can" thing going on, and most nurses (and I found out EMT's) won't easily give up. It gets to be a challenge to them. It goes something like this:
Me: "Could you please just insert that IV into the vein in my arm?"
Nurse" WHY would I want to do that! You've got such wonderful veins. Why, just look at them standing up there like a true to life topo map!"
Me: "Yeah, they are up there all right but they will move around on ya."
Nurse" Oh, I can get that little old needle in that vein. No sweat to it. Now, hold on!"
Me: "PLEASE, don't do this!"
Nurse: "Boy you do have a vein that wants to roll a bit, don't you? And you've got tough hide. You must be out in the sun a lot. "
Me: "Oh, %&^(#J!! Can't you just $#(^&$ PLEASE use my arm!?? This HURTS!! What's that plop, plop, plop sound??"
Nurse: " Oh that sound??!! That's just a bit of your blood hitting the floor. You're not anemic are you? My, I'll have to have housekeeping come in and mop up this puddle, er, I mean, DROPS ! Boy, you REALLY do have tough hide, but that vein is really sticking up there…I've never seen a vein look so angry before. I am giving up but I'm going to get one of the EMT guys in here. THEY can get an IV started through elephant hide! Not that you HAVE elephant hide, but they are good at this!"
Me: (thinking to myself)…The EMT's are better at this than an RN?? What's wrong with this picture??
EMT guy: "We'll get that sucker in there; no problem! Just hold still and stop tensing up! Your slippery, bloody hand isn't making it any easier, ya know."
By now, my hand is black and blue (seriously, it doesn't take long) and there is a blueish color streak going up my arm. But, yep, that fella got it in there.
And so it goes…and YES, I will do my best to convince them to USE MY FREAKING ARM when I have my surgery next month. If I am dreading anything, it is THIS part of the whole deal!
But, as Grandpa said, "It'll feel better when it quits hurting." He didn't say that you would NOT forget about it though!

Boy, can I relate to this graphic picture you so well described...Been there way too many times. And...they HAVE told me I have a hide of an ELEPHANT....go ahead, make my day, is what I'm usually thinking and then they have the audacity to charge US. Heck, they aughta be paying US for such a donation.ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend and prayers for your surgery....
Cathy, I too have vein problems but just the opposite, they can't find them. I tell them to take blood out of the back of my hand. I refuse to let them even try to take it out of my arm. If they insist, I say stop right now. I know what works and what doesn't. No matter how many people they try to bring in to get the job done!ReplyDelete
Hope all goes well with your surgery etc. Will keep you in my thoughts.
Jan on 446
Dar, I normally can't get anyone to listen to me about this because it is "more convenient for the Drs and nurses" in your hand. ARRRGGHH!!ReplyDelete
Jan, good to hear from ya! Hope all is well down your way! No problem getting blood out of my arm AT all. The surgery should be fairly simple and recovery shouldn't be that bad! But thanks for the well wishes!
I know, I know...I am an R.N....please believe me that when someone told me where to poke 'em, I listened. But it isn't as easy as it looks folks, and truly...any good nurse feels WORSE than you do when they can't hit it right...so sorry you had such a bad experience!ReplyDelete
Retired One, If it was just ONCE it wouldn't be so bad, but this is every time and with different nurses and even different hospitals (Marquette, Petoskey, War Memorialin the Soo, and Newberry)so yep, I cringe at the thought of it.ReplyDelete

Because we use our hands so much, and wash them so often, the connective tissues on the back of our hands break down, and our veins roll around like a marble on a tilt table. No amount of fist clenching and finger anchoring, will yield a good IV start, when veins start rolling. I give them ONE try (when they think they know so much more than me, whose body it is and who probably drew blood before they were even born!).ReplyDelete

Nancy, I guess we'll see how it goes this time around. Hopefully I can convince someone to listen to me.ReplyDelete

Adrienne Tyler
Staff WriterThe television series Fargo, based on the movie of the same name by Joel and Ethan Coen, will not be a direct remake, star Martin Freeman has confirmed. Freeman will play the main character Lester Nygard in the ten-part-miniseries currently filming in Calgary. Nygard is loosely based on William H. Macy's character Jerry Lundegaard from the original film. "It's kind of the same universe without being literally the same story, with echoes of the film that we know and many people love, me included. It's not just a retelling of the story, because it's ten hours of TV, so it's going to be a wider spectrum," Freeman told Digital Spy. The series is produced by the Coen brothers and along with Freeman, the cast includes Billy Bob Thornton and Kate Walsh. The story takes place in Bemidji, Minnesota, and follows Deputy Molly Solverson [Allison Tolman] as she investigates a crime involving Nygard. Fargo is still in production and is scheduled for release later this year on FX. http://www.Twitter.com/PopWrapped https://pop-wrapped.tumblr.com http://www.SoundCloud.com/PopWrapped http://www.Facebook.com/PopWrapped http://www.Instagram.com/PopWrapped http://www.Pinterest.com/PopWrapped http://www.YouTube.com/PopWrapped https://pop-wrapped.wordpress.com http://www.PopWrapped.com

A letter to five of my wonderful grandchildren
Dear Ashleigh, Ambir, Aric ,Auburn and Austin,
You all have a very special place in my heart. I am proud to be your Grandma. I pray for each of you often and ask the Lord to bless you and that each of you will make good choices as you journey through this life. I also pray each of you will put Jesus first in your life. I have lots of fond memories of each of you and I cherish the times you all came to stay with me.
Ashleigh, I remember the first time I saw you. You were so cute and had a beautiful smile and gorgeous blond hair. You grew up so fast and now you are a beautiful young lady. I remember teaching you how to make mashed potatoes and your family said you could make mashed potatoes as good as mine. Remember the Lord loves you and I will always love you. I miss seeing you and hearing from you.
Ambir, I remember when you were a little girl you came and spent a couple months with Pappy, Chris and me. It was so special to have a little girl in the house. I taught you how to make apple sauce and we did a lot of other things together. I miss seeing you but have enjoyed talking to you the last couple months. You are a sweet and beautiful young lady.
Aric , when you were a little boy you also came and spent some time with Pappy, Chris and me. I think it was when Auburn was born. You were not very old but you liked it at our house. Your parents still lived in Michigan and you were a long ways from home, but you did not get home sick. I will always cherish the winters you spent with me after Pappy passed away. You were a great blessing to me and an answer to my prayers. I remember you got tired of shoveling snow those winters. But I have lots of good memories of those winters together. You also learned to drive in and out the lane using my car with stick shift. You would drive out to get the mail. You are now a smart, young handsome man.
Auburn, when your family lived in New Market, you, Aric and Austin would often come and spend the weekends with Pappy, Chris and me. Auburn you are a very beautiful young lady with many talents and gifts. I will always remember the summer you spent at my house and got your first dog and all the tricks you taught him. You had lots of patience working with Ace and teaching him to be a good obedient dog. I remember teaching you how to make sausage gravy.
Austin, I remember your first cry because I was in the room when you were born. That was an awesome experience. You were a very cute baby boy. I will always remember all the long talks we have had together over the years and hope to have many more. I also remember the many times you came to spend time with me. I remember the times you spent with Pappy learning to drive and shoot a gun. Pappy enjoyed having you around to do things with him. You are like him collecting treasures and it didn't matter what it was --it was a treasure to keep. It might come in handy someday. Austin you, are very special, young, handsome man.
I love each of you a whole big---------------------bunch.

Kayne West Replaces Teeth With Diamonds
Kanye West recently relaced his lower teeth with gold and diamond implants. Maybe he thinks it will make the things he says at least look nicer. If that was me, I would of waited until someone knocked my teeth out first, which we all know is coming. Now it will just be a whole lot more expensive.

Now we are steadily demystifying the gadget. Y can 'phone, send texts (we both prefer predictive) and also take pictures. I've worked out how to put a photo of the grandchildren as the 'wallpaper' instead of the Samsung poppy. Next step we'll enter numbers in the inbuilt phone book.
Around 9.30am London Camera Exchange rang to say that my Kenko extension tubes had arrived which was excellent because I didn't order them till yesterday. Jessops would still be thinking of writing the order down and maybe, in a few days, ringing the suppliers ! We decided to go to Nottingham (never a hardship) and collect them. after our customary mooch about we decided to lunch in The Bell and both our meals were first rate, from the 2 for £10 menu. And that link is pretty good too, a 360degree view. My Picture 1 was from our table looking out over Market Square.
While on the subject of pubs, beer springs to mind and following an earlier conversation Reg sent me this picture of hops growing in the hedgerow at Shipley Boat Lock. If you scroll down the revealed webpage the lock itself is picture 2. The Wikipedia page about hops tells me that the flowers are called 'umbels' because of their resemblance to 'nested inverted umbrellas'. Well I never ! You learn something every day.
Bungus had already mentioned some weeks ago about hops growing in North Nottinghamshire in earlier times - hence the Hop Pole Hotel at Ollerton.
Reg apologised for the photo not being sharp due to his hands shaking. Whether this was before or after a visit to the pub I don't know. Anyway, it looks sharp enough to me, and I looked at it plus 100%.
Must come to 'comments' now. Thanks Jill for your hopes and best wishes. And it is around 4 miles to Steven and 1 mile to Tracy, as the snow-goose flies (crows are boring) about 7 miles each to John and David and the usual 130 to Debra. Thanks Bungus for your professional input (for new readers - Bungus is a retired architect). And 'Aunty Etty' has now really blown her cover ! She lives there and loves the house. And thanks to her for explaining the demesne for everyone.
As mentioned yesterday, tomorrow is one of our National Trust outings, this time to Dudmaston Hall which sounds promising. Good art collection and Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth works in the grounds. Hope they aren't imprisoned in a courtyard like the poor War Horse at Chatsworth. Ray has e-mailed and he has a DVT episode and is wearing the anti-embolism white stockings. He is supposed to keep his feet up but 'computing' is tricky under those conditions, even on a laptop. Hope he is soon better.
Just a comment on the dreaded McCann case and the discovery of traces of blood in the car boot. As far as I am aware, dead bodies don't bleed. So what the implications are I don't know. I have felt from the start that there is something just not quite right about the whole business. But as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote in 1887 -

does anybody know where i can track down some anorthosis stuff. i have the shirt with my name on the back, in Greek. not even the team has that.
when i went they all had a blue t-shirt with mahetec written on it with a warrior. on the back there was some writing. where can i get this.
i also heard that afxentiou (the cypriot hero) was a member of anorthosis when they were a social group

In expression. and blood sugar (39). The root system of carbon catabolite repression requires the CbrA/CbrB two-component program (16, 30), the tiny RNA (sRNA) CrcZ (36), as well as the RNA-binding proteins Crc (6, 22, 25, 26, 33) as crucial regulatory elements. These are conserved in fluorescent pseudomonads (38; Genome Data source). Mutational inactivation from the CbrA/CbrB two-component program provides vast outcomes in fluorescent pseudomonads. In and mutants no grow on a lot of carbon and nitrogen resources much longer, have problems with a carbon-nitrogen imbalance, and so are affected in biofilm advancement and tension tolerance (1, 19, 29, 30, 40, 41). The indicators that connect to the membrane-bound CbrA sensor are unidentified, but it shows up that TCA routine intermediates come with an inhibitory influence on CbrA/CbrB activity (16). The CbrB proteins is certainly a transcriptional activator for 54 RNA polymerase and is one of the NtrC category of response regulators (30). Hereditary evidence signifies that CbrB favorably controls the appearance from the sRNA gene in (36), the (lipase) gene in (7, 18), as well as the (histidine usage) operon of and (16, Polydatin manufacture 40). The known reality that and mutants of possess equivalent, but not similar, phenotypes shows that most, however, not all, actions from the CbrA/CbrB program are mediated with the sRNA CrcZ (36). CrcZ provides high affinity for the Crc proteins and, when excessively, stops Crc from performing being a translational repressor of focus on mRNAs. Regular Crc goals are mRNAs encoding porins, uptake systems, and enzymes mixed up in degradation of less-preferred substrates (20, 27, 28). In mutant on many substrates is apparently a rsulting consequence long lasting translational repression of focus on mRNAs with the Crc proteins. The CbrA/CbrB two-component program provides moderate amino acidity sequence similarity towards the well-characterized NtrB/NtrC regulatory program, which handles nitrogen assimilation in Gram-negative bacterias (14, 30, 32). Significantly, mutations that partly suppress a deletion have already been mapped to or in (16, 19), recommending that both two-component systems may overlap functionally. NtrC is certainly a bacterial enhancer binding proteins (bEBP). When turned on by phosphorylation, NtrC binds to upstream activating sequences (UASs) in NtrC-dependent 54 promoters (2, 32). Mechanistic areas of this process have already been researched generally in enteric bacterias (10). In and promoters of promoter needs IHF. Strategies and Components Bacterial strains, plasmids, and lifestyle conditions. The strains found in this scholarly study are listed in Table 1. was expanded in Luria broth (LB) (34) at 37C or Polydatin manufacture within a basal salts moderate (BSM) formulated with 30.8 mM K2HPO4, 19.3 mM KH2PO4, 15 mM (NH4)2SO4, 1 mM MgCl2, and 2 M FeSO4 amended with either 40 mM succinate or 40 mM mannitol (36).

Primers crcZ8fw_EcoRI Polydatin manufacture and crcZ-lacZ rev had been utilized to amplify a 160-bp PCR item from PAO1 chromosomal DNA. Likewise, this PCR product was digested with PstI and EcoRI and inserted into pME6016 to create pME9842. Primers crcZ7fw_EcoRI and crcZ-lacZ rev had been utilized to amplify a 138-bp PCR item from PAO1 chromosomal DNA.

The parental DNA template was digested with DpnI, as well as the mutated plasmid was released into XL1-Blue by change, producing pME9838. Mutations in the downstream theme (Mut2) were released into pME9835 likewise, using mutagenesis primers Theme_2_rev and Theme_2_fw. The mutated plasmid was termed pME9837. Mutations in both motifs (Mut1,2) had been released.
Objective Inaccessibility of the inflammation compartmentalized to the central nervous system
Objective Inaccessibility of the inflammation compartmentalized to the central nervous system (CNS) may underlie the lack of efficacy of immunomodulatory remedies in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). CNS cells had been depleted inadequately (~?10C20%, P?0.0001). As a result, the T\cell\specific CSF biomarker sCD27 reduced ( slightly?10.97%, P?=?0.0005), while axonal harm marker, neurofilament light chain didn't change. Insufficient saturation of NVP-TAE 226 Compact NVP-TAE 226 disc20, insufficient lytic go with, and paucity of cytotoxic Compact disc56dim NK cells donate to reduced effectiveness of rituximab in the CNS. Interpretation Biomarker research quantified complementary pharmacodynamic ramifications of rituximab in the CNS reliably, uncovered causes for poor efficacy and decided that RIVITALISE trial would be underpowered to measure efficacy on clinical outcomes. Identified mechanisms for poor efficacy are applicable to all CNS\inflammation targeting monoclonal antibodies. Introduction Immunomodulatory disease\modifying treatments (DMTs) exert discernable clinical benefit only in patients in early stages of multiple sclerosis (MS), called relapsing\remitting MS (RRMS). This lack of clinical efficacy, together with a decreased frequency of clinical relapses and contrast\enhancing lesions (CELs) on brain MRI, has been interpreted as evidence that the vital disability drivers in progressive stages of MS are neurodegenerative, rather than immune mediated.1 Yet, this conclusion contradicts pathological observations of continued neuroinflammation in patients with progressive MS.2, 3 An alternative explanation presupposes that pathogenic immune responses in progressive MS are not accessible to current DMTs because of their compartmentalization to central nervous system (CNS) tissue. Indeed, levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) T\cell\ and B\cell\specific biomarkers in both progressive MS NVP-TAE 226 subtypes (i.e., secondary progressive [SPMS] and primary progressive [PPMS]) are comparable to those observed in untreated RRMS.4 However, while immune responses in RRMS consist predominantly of migratory cells detected in the CSF, T, and B cells are mostly embedded in CNS tissue of Rabbit Polyclonal to FANCD2. progressive MS.4 As compartmentalization (and eventual establishment of tertiary lymphoid follicles in the affected tissue2) results from chronic/repeated activation of adaptive immunity in the particular compartment, it represents a continuous, rather than dichotomized (i.e., compartmentalized or not) process.4 Consistent with this explanation, functional assays also revealed higher levels of terminal differentiation of NVP-TAE 226 intrathecal T cells in progressive MS as compared to RRMS.5 Thus, lack of therapeutic efficacy of current NVP-TAE 226 DMTs in progressive MS could be explained by the combination of advanced CNS compartmentalization and terminal differentiation of pathogenic immune responses. Whether this intrathecal inflammation drives accumulation of clinical disability can be decided only after its effective silencing, which has not been convincingly achieved by any therapeutic strategy thus far, including bone marrow transplantation.6 Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that targets CD20, which is exclusively expressed on pre\B and mature B cells, but not on plasma cells.7 Clinical trials of intravenous rituximab have demonstrated reductions in MRI and clinical activity in RRMS patients, who, as a group, have opened bloodCbrain barrier (BBB) in the CNS areas with concentrated inflammation (as measured by CELs on brain MRI). However, rituximab had no efficacy on clinical outcomes in PPMS, who lack CELs,8 strongly supporting the notion that deficient penetration of the therapeutic antibody to affected CNS tissue may underlie lack of its efficacy. Therefore, the purpose of the RIVITALISE trial was to investigate whether intrathecal and intravenous administration of rituximab can effectively deplete B cells and inhibit activation of T cells in the CNS compartment of SPMS patients. We report the prespecified interim analysis for the efficacy of B\cell depletion and subsequent mechanistic studies, which revealed causes for differential efficacy of therapeutic antibodies in blood versus CNS compartments. Materials and Methods Patients and regulatory approval RIVITALISE is usually a single center, randomized, double\blind, placebo\controlled study. Patients were prospectively enrolled at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA. Eligible patients were aged 18C65?years and had a diagnosis of MS according to the McDonald's criteria9; had an entry score of 3.0C7.0 around the expanded disability status scale (EDSS); diagnosed as SPMS with lack of MS relapse in the preceding 1?12 months and nonremitting/sustained progression of disability over 3?months; had not received any DMTs for a period of at least 1?month prior to enrollment; provided informed consent; agreed to commit to the use of an accepted method of birth control. Patients were excluded if they.

On Sunday afternoon (after church), we drove up to Idaho to visit my grandmother. She lives in Rexburg, and visiting her house was one of my very favorite things to do as a kid. My dad and his eight siblings helped to build the house--it was made of, among other things, an old schoolhouse that my grandfather hacked up and they hauled the pieces out and built their house. As you can imagine, it took quite some time to build, so they either slept outside or in the "summer house" (in addition to the main house, there are various outbuildings--a "little house," which is sort of like a guest house where various family members have lived at different points in time, the summer house, assorted animal outbuildings (no animals any more), etc.) In short, it's like paradise for a little kid.
side view of the house, taken from the garden
Some of my favorite things about the house:
- bridges over the drainage ditches--I spent countless hours here "fishing" as a little kid, and I was so excited to do the same with Abigail!
- the "loft room"--a room that has this bed-sized loft built into the wall (over the stairs), so little kids can climb up there and sleep (or big people too, which Neil and I did when we visited a couple of years ago--Abigail slept there this time (at least in theory, in reality she kept climbing down and sleeping with Mary Beth))
- from the east bedroom (where we were sleeping this time) when you wake up you can see the Tetons in the distance
- from everywhere in the house, you can hear the elk bugling in the morning (long story made short: the neighbors raise elk, and when people decide they want a trophy elk head in their house, they buy an elk from them for trophy-hunting purposes)
some of them thar trophy elk
6. the house is primarily made out of exposed wood, so not only is it gorgeous in terms of walls and rafters, but my aunts and uncles wrote their names (using nails) across the ceiling rafters in the living room
the living room (no rafter close-up)
7. there are books everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I love this. I absolutely love it. Bookshelves fill the stone-flagged entryway when you first come in. Books are lying loose on most flat surfaces. The basement bedroom is lined with shelves, as is the sewing room. There are just books everywhere!!! You can totally tell the house belongs to English professors. I love it!
Neil perusing the books in the entry--check out the sweet doors into the house! these featured in many a "pretend we're in a castle" game.
8. the attached greenhouse--one thing I REALLY want in my dream house
9. the ground in front of the house is covered in concrete slabs with the hand/footprints of everyone in the family at the time the house was finished, plus miscellaneous drawings, etc. All the grandchildren's names are written in the concrete forming the patio outside the greenhouse.
Lots more cool stuff, but I stopped taking pictures because I was too busy having fun with my aunts and uncles and cousins and sisters and parents and grandmother. Oh, and that man I married and my kids.
On Monday, we decided to head out into the desert and go cave-exploring. My dad, Mary Beth, and Elise came with us (we brought both kids). You may not know this, but the desert around Rexburg is a pretty happenin' place. Not only are there the St. Anthony sand dunes, which are miles and miles long and wide, but the desert is full of random ice caves and lava flow tubes. It's pretty exciting.
Since Abigail and Juliet were with us, we went to one of the tamer caves (i.e. you don't have to hack your way through the ice with an axe and then lower yourself down on a rope). This cave was designated a "civil defense cave" during the Cold War. Presumably the Rexburgians could evacuate there, in case of a Soviet missile strike, and live happily underground. We wondered as we drove out a) why the Soviets would ever target Rexburg and b) how on earth an entire town could be evacuated over a potholed bumpy dirt road, but whatever.
So here we are.
And here's the cave.
Elise and Neil (with Jules) looking for the best way down (the cave floor was either perfectly level, or covered in enormous tumbled slabs of rock)--the entry happened to be one of those rock-slab places.
Elise--the flash was kind of exciting. This was when Elise and MB and I climbed up on the rock shelf at the very back of the cave and thought about eating our granola bars, except we'd already eaten them, so we just sat there and got wet and cold (from dripping water) while Neil and Dad ate granola bars and Abigail tried to go to the bathroom on the floor of the cave (not successful). She's adventurous like that.
Dad and Abigail
When I said "desert," I really meant desert. No potatoes here!

As quickly as the season went south in 2005 with three straight losses culminating in a NIT appearance the 2006 season has turned around for the better. The Terps were not even being talked about after getting trashed by North Carolina just last Sunday at Chapel Hill but two good games later and Maryland is one of the teams on the cusp of a NCAA invite. As of this morning Maryland sits with a decent RPI of 47, which puts them in a historically good position (more on that later in the week), and a with good matchup with 11 seed Georgia Tech in the ACC tournament on Thursday. The Terps have more work to do but they are in a good position to play their way back into the NCAAs this week.
The game was a see saw of emotion for Maryland as they outplayed Virginia from the opening tip till about the 10 minute mark in the 2nd half. With Sean Singletary picking up his fourth foul with 16 minutes left and Virginia trailing by 18 points you would think the game was over but feeding off the emotion of the final ACC game at UHall and some phenomenal play from JR Reynolds the Wahoos made an astonishing 20-5 run and tied the game at 62. A clutch 3-pointer by Mike Jones with just over a minute left turned out to be the deciding basket as Maryland pull out a 71-70 squeaker.
The defense has improved slightly over the last two games holding opponents to under 40% shooting in back-to-back games for the first time in over a month. The defense faltered during the period when UVA closed the gap and tied the game but the players bolstered their efforts in the last two minutes and didn't give Virginia any good looks at the basket. The frontcourt posted an impressive 9 blocks and the backcourt helped with 5 steals, though there were too many silly fouls during Virginia's furious comeback. Maryland has seemed to find their indentity in these last two games. They don't shoot outside very much, run more half court sets and play aggressive defense, much like Boston College with less talent. They have gotten clutch baskets and timely defense in the last two games which they were not getting February.
How did Maryland pull out the game? A good start is that they didn't have 20+ turnovers. The backcourt played within their abilities for most of the game and finished with 21 assists and only 12 turnovers. That gave them a chance to win even though UVA grabbed 18 offensive rebounds and got 24 free throws. If the team can continue to be careful with the basketball they will give themselves a decent chance to get to the ACC semifinals and a likely NCAA bid. Shooting 49% from the floor and taking 26 free throws certainly helps but defense and ball handling are more crucial to the success of this team. They amassed an 18 point advantage because they were shooting over 60% for the game, a number that wasn't going to last. A team can get away with being sloppy on defense when they are shooting that well, but once it dries up that lead will evaporate just as quickly.
DJ Strawberry, Parrish Brown and Sterling Ledbetter had solid, if unspectacular, performances, but that is all Maryland needs from them. They hurt the team by trying to do more than that. They struggled to guard JR Reynolds, a streaky shooter who can get in a zone and carry his team for a game, but limited Singletary and the rest of UVA's backcourt. Together they finished with 8 assists and 4 turnovers, a ratio that Gary Williams can live with.
Besides the game winning shot Mike Jones had a decent offensive performance. He had what looked like a minor bruise after a collision and missed some time in the 2nd half. It was obvious how impotent Maryland's offense is without Jones on the court. Perhaps the team's defense is worse with Jones but Maryland doesn't have any other player that can stretch the opponent's defense or command the kind of defensive attention that Jones does. In one sequence three Virginia defenders collapsed on Jones in the lane and he found Ibekwe for an easy dunk. You can't ask Jones for much more than his 13 point, 7 rebound and 4 assist performance. He seems to be a little worn down from all the bumps and bruises that come from starting and playing more minutes than he is used to playing. Maryland will need him healthy for the ACC tournament.
Nik Caner-Medley is perhaps coming into his own as a team leader and was instrumental in exhorting his teammates to not let the game slip away in the waning moments. His jersey "popping" antics at the end of the game were not appropriate and he almost got plunked with an orange for his taunts. He didn't shoot very well from the floor but has the best ability to get to the foul line of any player on the team. He was a perfect 12-12 from the line and many of those were critical points with Jones on the bench and Maryland's offense stagnating. His continued leadership and scoring will be needed in the next game versus Georgia Tech.
Ekene Ibekwe was able to score around the basket by using his athletic edge over Virginia's frontcourt. His freethrow shooting was atrocious and he would have probably lead the team in scoring had he been able to convert a decent number of his freethrows. His shooting form has reverted to the exaggerated herky jerky motion that limited him last season. He needs another check up with his shooting doctor. He was weak on the glass, but none of the frontcourt were particularly good in that regard. With 32 minutes of play one would expect more than five rebounds.
James Gist only took 3 shots all game and was limited by foul trouble. Gist is only a sophomore but has a tendency to disappear from week to week. He needs to find a level of consistency in the next few games somehow. He did have a critical block on Sean Singletary in the closing minutes of the game. For only playing 19 minutes his 5 rebounds isn't bad.
Travis Garrison is producing a little more off the bench the last few games. His 7 points and 5 rebounds are about what Maryland needs from him off the bench with Will Bowers languishing. He also added four blocks to his nice bench totals. He isn't really a great low post defender but his superior bulk makes him a nice counter to the spindly Ibekwe and Gist.
This team has a way of surprising you, both good and bad, just when you think you have them figured out. I hesitate to observe that it does seem like they have some confidence back and are playing with a purpose. The coaches have seemed to find a style of play that fits with the talent on the team. The Terps are not a great team, no team sweating an NCAA invite this time of year is particularly good, but they are playing well enough at the moment to be heading in the right direction for the ACC tournament.

Salams all,
So how did your last summer go? before it started, did you make plans on
everything you were going to
do? all the books you were going to read? all the calls you were going to
make to relatives? all the
Quran you were going to memorize? etc. etc. and then all of a sudden, the
end of summer was upon you, and
you realized you hadn't done most of the things you thought you would.
if so, why do you think that happened? tons of reasons Im sure, but here's
just a few:
1. cause you didnt write down this list of things you wanted to do.
2. cause you didnt do em consistently everyday, little by little, one by
3. cause everyday you figured you would do something tomorrow. and then kept
postponing it.
etc. etc.
so now, here's Ramadan! its 5 days away! Are we going to treat it the same
way? just think of all the extra
ibada we wanna do, but then never actually do it?! And then its going to
end, taking the phenomenal blessings
with it, and leave us waiting for another year (which by the way may never
Well, we still have time. Lets make it different this year. Let this year be
the one where we get
shaytan even BEFORE he's chained, and take control of our nafs (which doesnt
get chained during ramadan),
and promise to be consistent!
To make things simpler and easier, yet effective, write down 7 things you
want to do this Ramadan.
Divide them up into smaller items and just promise yourself (and Allah) to
complete at least 4 of them.
here's a few I came up with:
1. The scholars say if we want to experience true spirituality with Islam,
we have to lessen
the material world. So eat less. Ramadan doesnt mean for us to stuff the
same 3 meals AFTER iftar; it
means for us to weaken our bodies and strengthen our souls. Then, when you
pray, you'll feel the true
connection to Allah.
2. Join a regular program (like the one Marwan is holding at BHA musalla)
and learn something, be with others
who're aiming for the same. Get out of the norm, and drive those extra 10
miles to something new. You'll get
more rewards during Ramadan.
3. Go to at least 3 qiyams before the last 10 days. Or just do em at home
... with 2 rakats and the smallest
surahs; qiyams dont have to have looong surahs or lots of rakats or be lead
by shuyukh, just done with
the right intention and late at night.
4. Do less of even the mubah (actions that are neutral), and more of the
recommended/nafal. Give up watching sports
on tv, or playstation, or boardgames (those are usually popular in Ramadan
:) ), and memorize 3 more surahs,
and finish a book on the Quran ("The way to the Quran" is available for
download on the internet for free).
Im sure you can come up with your own list, dont forget to write it down and
look at it everyday. You can pick
just 3 things if you like, and dont worry about anything else, just do those
3, consistently. Keep this list and
inshaAllah next year, you can add more to it.
The scholars say if you want to see which way you're headed (meaning
religiously), compare yourself to where you were
a year before ... Ramadan is the best time to do this assesment. Dont let
this year slip away too like your summers.
Moazzam Ahmed
Have you checked your schedule lately?
PEACE and TOLERANCE, cost's us NOTHING, Lets ALL just do it. These are my View's and the Material's, that I have received from emails and when I surf the Internet. I do NOT and WILL NEVER approve of any form of terrorism (doing or promoting), In any Place on this Earth, especially in The OCCUPIED Palestinian Land. May The Creator of ALL thing's grant us peace and Tolerance for All

Howdy there!
This week Elder Viñas from the area came to our mission. We had a conference with him with four other zones and it was great! I learned a lot about the importance of goals and having a vision for ourselves and the things we want to do. He said that "the numbers and the results aren't important. The important thing is that we are learning and getting better. That is why a goal can't exist without a vision and neither exists if we don't have a plan." He said "so the number of baptisms for the week was zero... well at it they got baptized". haha *(If anyone can understand what this means or possesses a Urim and Thummim to translate this sentence please call Bobby's family). I realized that a lot of times I get so upset with myself for not achieving what I feel like I should be that I forget to learn as I got and I don't enjoy the work. I feel like these last few days I really have had the spirit with me stronger and I feel like the Lord is happy with the effort I am giving.
Elder Avila had a doctor's appointment and it doesn't look like it is anything serious. The doctor gave Elder Avila a prescription and also the suggestion of an x-ray. When Elder Avila saw what the price of the x-ray would be I think he regretted ever having talked with the mission nurse. haha so instead of setting an appointment to do it we walked out. Since that time I haven't heard any complaining about his knee. haha
Yesterday as I took the sacrament I was really praying and fasting for a spiritual experience and for the "vision" that I needed to start to set some good goals. I reread the baptismal questions and gave myself a mini interview with myself and God. I really felt the spirit and really felt like I was renewing the covenants that I have made. It was much needed and I feel better than I have in a while. God is really so loving and so willing to help us but a lot of times we never overcome the first obstacle to get to Him: ourselves. I love to take the sacrament and it is just a bummer that we only do it once a week because like it teaches us in 3 Nephi 18 it really "fills" us every time that we worthily take it. I love you guys and I hope that this Sunday can be a special experience as you renew your covenants! Thanks for everything.

One of the most important things about business, specifically the business of fashion pr, is that you always have to keep your people happy. That goes for clients, employees, the media, and every one you come into contact with on a daily basis. You wouldn't believe how a simple smile from a stranger or friendly email can effect those you are in contact with. (Of course let me state that some people need a little more encouragement, but then again as prs we are supposed to be mind readers as well and able to predict clients and media needs and wants in a split second)
So after an always inspirational meeting with our fabulous client Eoin Finn who is seriously the most positive and happy person I know, I begin to question just how to add some good vibes and upbeat energy to our office environment. Everyone always needs a little change of pace!
Then I figured it out. Right in the midst of writing the new press release for Eoin's hammock enlightenment while sitting in the utmost of comfort in my backless bar stool, I thought I could use a little decreased cortisol and a more comfortable cradle to support my bones and a hammock is just the thing.
Eoin set out to prove that you can save the world by getting in a hammock for just five minutes a day.The whole idea behind "hammock enlightenment" came from Finn's realization that what really harms most people and affects their longevity is the buildup of every day stress. Much of the stress in life comes from the need to achieve more and more, to keep up with the Jones or join the rat race.
So go ahead and just hang out in hammock. Your employees mind, body, and spirit will thank you for it.

Just now I went upstairs to get some breakfast and this is what I found....
How old are my brothers? Just twenty one and eighteen going on ten and eight. M. Silly got this Hummer for Christmas a few, maybe more, years ago and busted it out yesterday to fix it. Looks like they got it fixed! Oh and they are totally recording their times, it's official business!
Then it was my turn....and I have really awesome bed hair that explains the hood. And a total lack of coordination to match.
M.Silly: "Good thing it's a Hummer!"
What is he trying to say? I'll do some practicing..ok? You can only imagine how the big leagues went! It took me two minutes to do 5 laps.
Maybe it will turn into a Saturday morning tradition. Who knows? But it was fun.

World of Warcraft players eager to purchase Battle for Azeroth, the game's seventh expansion, have already been hit with a multitude of server issues when logging in. Players have reported troubles around the game's subreddit and Twitter, saying they're becoming greeted using a black screen upon logging in, too as pre-purchase challenges, which Polygon was able to replicate.
Players had been experiencing troubles when trying to acquire the cheap wow gold expansion itself, which would give them access to new Allied Races along with a level 110 character boost. Blizzard swiftly reacted by pushing a statement towards the Battle.net client.
Players might encounter challenges while attempting to make purchases(click here). We're working with our third party payment processor to resolve the situation as quickly as you possibly can and apologize for the inconvenience.
Even so, now it seems that the World of Warcraft servers themselves have gone down. When logging in, players have discovered that their current characters never actually show up. WoW usually boosts the servers that players have characters on to the best on the list, but no characters are currently appearing. Trying to log in to among the servers outcomes inside a black screen.
Blizzard's consumer service Twitter account posted that the group is working challenging to repair this issue. A later tweet clarified that it is nonetheless occurring.
We'll update this story as it unfolds.

It's been a busy couple of weeks while this piece was being painted. Working this large is always very exciting to me. It gives me a chance to really move paint around, and to put down details and delicate shadings that are more difficult in a smaller format. The process is slow, something like watching a jigsaw puzzle come together one section at a time. And, by day three, I begin to really feel the results of stretching to reach around the large canvas and of standing for long periods of time.
I have to admit that I feel a sense of relief that this painting is now almost done. Just a few details to correct and some glazing to do. So, I took some time off today to enjoy the day and sit in the sun. The Florida weather was just perfect for cloud watching.
While sitting in the garden, I noticed how splendidly the desert rose is flowering. So, off I went to get my camera. Another painting begins the design stage.

For some reason, the idea of Malaysian timing really cannot stick to me. I found myself an hour early for an ex-schoolmate's wedding reception tonight!
Well, tonight's wedding was the first that I've attended for a peer.
This reception differed from a traditional one - with a PRE-RECORDING of the kompang procession! Times have changed, my man. (Kompang processions are so merry and very meriah for the suasana. Every wedding should have that. Provides a better beat than firecrackers, too. Hah!)
It was a very happy occasion for the bride, groom, family and friends. The bride and groom looked radiant and so joyous as they walked down the red carpet you can't help but smile, too!
It was also the first time (for me) to merenjis the newlyweds. You pinch some short leaves/petals (I think this is traditionally kunyit or something - but times have changed) and put it on their palms, then renjis (sprinkle) some rose water (?) on their palms. (Brings me back to standard one, when my new friends and I acted out a Malay wedding. Haha! Sigh, cute times with Anis)
Congrats to the newlyweds - Farah and Danial! Wishing you both a very beautiful future together :)

Chapter 1 - Part 14: Put Out the Fire
12 comments:
CHALLENGE NOTES:ReplyDelete
Next chapter starts Generation 2! I can't believe how long that's taken. I've been slowly shortening the age span the last few times I've played, so hopefully the story will be moving along a little more quickly now.
I was going to save the pic of Morand and Cecil going nuts as an outtake since it was a little over the top, but decided to throw it in since it totally fits their personalities.
I also realized I'd forgotten to mention that Cecil and Jett had a kid! So surprise! Haha The name Khalilah was game generated, and I thought about changing it, but decided to leave it.
The family tree has been updated accordingly!
As always, thanks for reading! Your comments and suggestions are always appreciated!!
I love this update and can't wait for the first part of chapter two!ReplyDelete
Great update! I'm looking forward to the start of generation 2.ReplyDelete
I'm glad no one got injured in the fire; I was worried there for a bit. I'm wondering what Faith wished for, but I think I have an inkling... Anyways, I'm excited for the start of generation 2!ReplyDelete
Ha! I thought Khalilah was an odd name, but it's growing on me!ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to see what Faith's randomized destiny is and whether Morand is allowed to find love late in life after the legacy is passed on.
Aw, great chapter. I'm so excited for Gen 2 to start! I really love how you've done the changing of the generation, it really feels like we know Faith and now it's her time to shine :]ReplyDelete
Thanks guys!!ReplyDelete
Yes, Khalilah was definitely outside the box when I saw that pop up. I was going to change it because every time I saw it I stumbled over how to pronounce it, but it fits that they would name their daughter a unique name.
In case anyone is wondering, Cecil is the one that carried the child, which is probably why she's a spitting image of Cheri (Cecil's Mom).
The Faith-biting-lip pic is so cute. ^^ReplyDelete
So is Khalilah.
I think I've said this before, but I am going to say it again: I love love LOVE your photos! OMG, the firefighting pictures of Morand are intense... and that birthday shot of him and Cecil, hah, it's fabulous!ReplyDelete
Your story telling is amazing! I've read from the start to the newest entry today, and I'm loving it. I can't wait for the next chapter! :) Keep it up!ReplyDelete
Well that was a full on generation one. I am still sad lolReplyDelete
I was a little worried there for a moment when Morand couldn't find his granddaughter! But then all was well and I let out a sigh of relief! Lol. I absolutely LOVE Faith and Morand moments. Sweetest things ever! I'm very excited for Faith to take over and I can't wait to see Drake again.ReplyDelete

Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.
Instinct, Emotional And Rational - Poem by Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.
The Instinct, the Emotional, and the Rational
Are the stages at which your mind functions,
Together or severally in variant degrees.
Hunger and survival: The Instinct springs.
Love and hate: The Emotional surges.
Right and wrong: The Rational decides.
In the game of chess, you are rational.
In the game of love, you are emotional.
In the game of sex, you are instinctual.
The Rational mind is your judge.
The Emotional mind is your advocate.
The Instinctual mind is your subject.
When judge fails, when advocate fails,
The subject spurts to save the self
Or feeds the self without fail.
The Rational abide by the codes.
The Emotional deviates from it.
The Instinct violates it.
The Rational decides how to face.
The Emotional positions the move.
But the Instinct accomplishes it.
Far sighted is the Rational.
Short sighted is the Emotional.
Blind is the Instinct.
The Instinct reels under the Emotional.
The Emotional trails behind the Rational.
The Rational strives to manage them both.
The child is more under the Instinct.
The adult is more under the Emotional.
The old is more under the Rational.
The Rational lacks vigour.
The Emotional lacks balance.
The Instinct lacks prudence.
The Rational has distant motive.
The Emotional has immediate motive.
The Instinct has instant motive.
Intellectuals are rational.
Poets and lovers are emotional.
The ignorant are instinctual.
The Rational wages cold war.
The Emotional engages in verbal war.
The Instinctual commits physical war.
You are rational in forenoon.
You are emotional in afternoon.
You are instinctual at night.
The Instinctual is skillful.
The Emotional is forceful.
The Rational is careful.
A man and a woman in a tete-a-tete,
They are outwardly rational,
Inwardly emotional and deep instinctual.
In Cricket, a low catch at slip
Is well taken by Instinct and a
Lofty one in long-on, judged and missed.
The Instinct ignites the revolt.
The Emotion fuels it.
The Rational sedates it.
By Instinct you steal.
By Emotion, you weep and laugh.
By Rational, you criticize.
The Instinct feeds your senses.
The Emotion feeds your mind.
The Rational feed your ego.
Love for food and sex is the Instinct.
Love for arts and music is emotional.
Love for fame and name is the Rational.
A man or woman is all of three.
But they will vary in degree.

Ah, the connected home... the ultimate Jetsonian fantasy that refuses to come true. LG's doing its best to change that with its Thinq lineup of connected appliances announced and demonstrated for the first time here in Las Vegas. The details of connectivity and interoperability are scarce but we do know that the appliances support both WiFi and ZigBee connectivity in order to communicate with each other, your in-home smart meter, and with smartphones when outside of the home. So far, LG has announced four Thinq devices including a vacuum, fridge, oven, and washer and dryer pair. That's a pretty strong foundation to build from especially if your home is already equipped with ZigBee devices like automated light switches, window controllers, and locks. Hit read more for details and the video!
Each LG appliance brings a rather lengthy list of features many of which are accessible remotely on a smartphone app (Android was demonstrated). It's just hard to fathom how useful they are without a humanoid robot capable of moving the finished wash into the dryer or putting the porkroast in the oven. Thinq is definitely a step in the right direction.

Kendall and I have discussed "our family" many times and tried to crack the mysteries of exactly how to have a tight-knit family forever. We have decided that one of the biggest factors (aside from staying close to the Lord) lies in the time that you spend with your kids. We feel that not only quality time is important, but also the quantity. And I've never thought this more than now. After having Kendall home for 2 weeks Avri has become an entirely different little girl. In the past couple of months she has been going through a mean phase with him. She is grumpy whenever he has been around, she makes mean faces at him and is just nasty. Well, in the last two weeks they have become very good friends again. I leave the kids home now to do my visiting teaching or any number of other errands and when I get home Avri and Kendall are laughing and playing. Kendall really isn't doing anything differently, it is just the way that Avri views him, I guess. And the amount of time that they are able to spend together. But I'm really considering myself lucky that the timing was so perfect for his layoff. Mercedes has always loved her Daddy, but now she only wants him when he is in the room. They have both really gotten attached to him and it makes my heart go all soft to see it. I feel like I have been able to talk to Kendall so much more and really catch up with him on our lives. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Maybe he knew that this would be a great opportunity for us.
Here is my funny little family. The morning routine is a bit more laid back lately. Avri gets into the crib with Mercedes every morning and plays with her. This particular morning she also "helped" Talmage get in. I'm glad I wasn't around to see how that played out. Don't you love the bed-head look?

How Do You Buy a New or Used GMC Savana?
You don't want any Savana for sale in Hanover. You want to buy the one that's right for your everyday life. That means researching all your options, comparing prices, and selecting a new or used GMC Savana. But how do you go about choosing?
Gearing Up to Buy a Used GMC Savana in Hanover
Start by researching, especially if you want to buy a used Savana. Read reviews by other drivers and auto industry experts, then compare MPG, features, safety ratings, prices and performance. When shopping for a used GMC Savana, pay attention to the vehicle's history, mileage and wear. You may learn that the one you want is still eligible for a warranty. What a perk!
What About Buying a New GMC Savana in Hanover?
If you'd rather buy a new Savana, consider any available warranties and options for customization. Buying new could be the right choice for you if you're looking for a rare color, a limited edition interior package or extra accessories.
Prequalifying Makes Buying Easier
Apart from your personal preferences, understanding your financing options will also help you choose between a new or used GMC Savana, as well as whether you should lease or buy. Get started by applying for financing online through GM Financial. Fill out an auto loan application online to see if you prequalify for a competitive rate, and then get ready to buy the right GMC Savana in Hanover today! To explore your leasing options, stop by your nearest dealer and fill out a lease application.
*A retail installment contract that allows a customer to purchase a vehicle from an auto dealership. This contract is then sold or assigned by the dealership to GM Financial.


text: Thousands of excited children ran about on the White House south lawn for the annual Easter egg roll Monday while their sometimes harried parents sought a glimpse of President Bush. ''There he is. There he is,'' many adults murmured as Bush, along with his wife, Barbara, his daughter-in-law Margaret and two grandchildren, made a brief appearance at the springtime holiday ritual. Bush acted as official starter of one egg-rolling race at the event. When he blew a whistle, several young children rolled hard-boiled eggs for about 10 yards across the grass. The winner received a wooden egg autographed by Bush and his wife. The White House egg roll began in the late 19th century after police chased frolicking children off the grounds of the Capitol, claiming they were tearing up the grass.

US President Barack Obama will give a long-awaited speech on US relations with the Muslim world on a visit to Egypt, the White House has announced.
He will travel to Egypt on 4 June and a day later arrive in Germany for a visit to Dresden and the site of the Nazi concentration camp at Buchenwald.
During his election campaign, Mr Obama promised to make a major speech on ties with Muslims early in his presidency.
Egypt arguably represented "the heart of the Arab world", a spokesman said.
In Turkey last month, the president declared that the US was not at war with Islam and he called for a greater partnership with the Muslim world.
Right from the start, Barack Obama has made clear he wants to rebuild relations with the Muslim and Arab world, the BBC's Jonathan Beale reports from Washington.
With so many events in so short a space of time, it is going to be a carefully choreographed trip, our correspondent says.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked if Egypt was an appropriate venue for the speech, given its poor record on human rights.
Thursday 4: Egypt for keynote speech
Friday 5: Dresden and Buchenwald
Saturday 6: D-Day events in Normandy
"The scope of the speech, the desire for the president to speak, is bigger than where the speech was going to be given or who's the leadership of the country where the speech is going to be given," he replied.
"This is a continuing effort of the president to engage the Muslim world," he added.
"All of this gives the president the opportunity hopefully to extend the hand to those that in many ways are like us but simply have a different religion."
The White House press secretary explained that Mr Obama's great-uncle had helped liberate Buchenwald.
After the German leg of the visit, the president is due in Normandy for events commemorating the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings on 6 June.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced earlier he and Mr Obama would visit together the American war cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer above Omaha Beach on 6 June.
Omaha was one of the main landing points for US troops on D-Day and thousands of them were killed.
"We will spend some time together, this time in Normandy on the beaches, and we will go together to pay tribute in the cemeteries where so many young Americans paid with their lives for the freedom of our country," said Mr Sarkozy.
"We will also invite American veterans, so they can see that the French people have not forgotten them."
Charlie Payne, brother of the president's grandmother, was among US troops who liberated Buchenwald, where some 56,000 inmates were killed between 1938 and 1945.
