TAM findings by Heleen de Vaan
Beste Ruud,
Van de week viel mijn oog op de TamTam (het blad van het WNF voor kinderen, in ons geval voor/van onze zoon). Tot dan toe stond ik nooit stil bij de naam van het blad, maar nu ik, wat rondsurfend, op http://tamruud.blogspot.com je vraag naar Tams en Ruuds zie, vroeg ik me af: heb je deze TamTam al in je Tam-collectie?
Op je blog vind ik het zo gauw niet terug, vandaar dat ik je 'm bij deze mail (zie bijlage). Hopelijk heb je er iets aan.
Omdat ik van zoeken (en vinden) hou, heb ik nog even rondgekeken op internet, en kwam nog andere Tam's tegen. O.a. een dvd/video-hoes, en museum(reclame)kaartjes (denk ik?) voor het Braziliaanse vliegtuigmuseum Museu Tam (wat volgens o.a. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4GcxZkP8dw eind juni 2010 heropend is) (het vliegtuig van de luchtvaartmaatschappij zag ik wel terug op je tam/ruud website).
Je vind deze (en nog enkele meer) ook in de bijlage.
Verder nog een aantal links, met TAM in beeld:
Een leuk filmpje (vind ik tenminste) over hoe een TAM vliegtuig geverfd wordt, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNmxMeH7jI8 (via de plaatser - tam / TAM - zijn nog vele films méér te vinden van deze luchtvaartmaatschappij, Táxi Aéreo MarÃlia)
Een plattegrond met routebeschrijving naar het Taipei Astronomical Museum (en tussen de Taiwanese/Chinese karakters ineens TAM herkenbaar):

Logo Tam, als afkorting van Total Asset Management (nooit van gehoord, maar goed), o.a. hier: http://www.gamc.nsw.gov.au/tam/ (zie ook bijlage)
Tam-Awan Village, Filippijnen: http://tam-awanvillage.com/index.php en - zie borden op bovenste foto - www.moleonmysole.com/2009/03/tam-awan-village.html
Verder is er in Beijing het Today Art Museum ( www.todayartmuseum.com ). Helaas vind ik geen plaatjes met een leesbare afkorting TAM erop (ik weet ook niet of ze in het Chinees zo afkorten), maar 't lijkt me wel een heel interessant museum, als ik op http://images.google.nl met ''today art museum' zoek. (ze hebben er zelfs iets met 'snail mail' gedaan, en dat vind Ãk nou weer leuk - www.realsnailmail.net/ ).
Goed, 't is een heel rijtje geworden, dus ik stop er maar mee.
En misschien ken je e.e.a. al lang. Zo niet, bij deze. Hopelijk heb je er iets aan!?
Met vriendelijke groet,
Heleen de Vaan
ps Mocht je 't op prijs stellen als ik ook 'Ruud' zoek (da's wat lastiger te vinden maar ik zag wel enkele logo's), dan hoor ik 't wel.

HP's Vivienne Tam Edition netbook gets real, coming this December
No clue if HP will be sticking with the Digital Clutch moniker (wouldn't be a bad choice, actually), but one's thing for certain: it's teaming up with Vivienne Tam for a highly decorated netbook. The shot you're looking at above is just about all we have to go on, but obviously this one won't appeal to those who aren't into vivaciousness, vividness and, um, flora.
We are told that it'll be available this December with an Intel Atom processor within (which is pretty noteworthy given HP's current relationship with VIA), but everything else is being closely concealed for now -- even though Atom typically equals 1GB of RAM, a 1.6GHz clock speed and an 80GB HDD. But hey, a woman has to have her secrets, right?
[Thanks, Ronald]
Tim Tam cookies are coming to America
Arnott’s is sharing their famous Tim Tam recipe with their US sister-company Pepperidge Farm in hopes of getting Americans to love the chocolate cookie that Australians have been all over for the past 40 years. The Tim Tam packs in regular chocolate and caramel are to be sold exclusively at Target beginning November 2008 until March 2009.
I’m assuming that after March 2009, Campbell Soup Co., which owns Arnott’s and Pepperidge Farm, will take a look at how well the Tim Tam sales did and decide from there whether to make Tim Tam cookies a staple of American diets!
I cannot wait to go to my local Target to see if they’ve already got these in stock! The suggested retail price of each cookie pack is $3.39.

6 kilo's of Mail-Interviews
Today my order of books from LuLu arrived. 6 kilo's of Mail-Interviews. As you can see the books are quite thick. Some are 360+ pages thick. If you are interested, you can order one or all of them yourself at: http://stores.lulu.com/iuoma The copies that arrived in Breda now are for the TAM-Archive itself. The selling of the books goes quite well. About 50 are already sold and are now in some Mail-Art collections for sure. I am working on a new book as well. Details will follow when the time is right.

Tim TAMS
WHAT IS A TIM TAM?
Tim Tams are Australia’s favourite chocolate biscuit (chocolate coated Cookie with a creamy center).
HOW POPULAR ARE TIM TAMS IN AUSTRALIA?
Arnott's reports that "Around 30 million packs are sold each year - that’s nearly 300 million biscuits, or two packs for every Australian." That's a lot of Tim Tams! Yes, they're pretty popular with those Aussies!
HISTORY
Tim Tams were first launched in 1963. They were named after a horse that ran in the Kentucky Derby in 1958. A member of the Arnott family, Ross Arnott, attended the race day and decided ‘Tim Tam’ was the perfect name for the new biscuit he was about to launch. Since the launch of the Original Tim Tam biscuit Arnott's have now made eight different flavoured Tim Tams: Original, Chewy Caramel, Mocha, Double Coat and Classic Dark Chocolate, Special Edition Tim Tam Hazelnut, Limited Edition White Chocolate and new Special Edition Chewy Choc Fudge.
(Source: www.arnotts.com)
WHAT DO TIM TAMS TASTE LIKE?
Tim Tams were developed so that the chocolate has a slight hint of caramel in it. Where as the cream in the center is more a vanilla, butter and chocolate flavor. Whatever the combination, it works well and tastes great.
INGREDIENTS (Tim Tam Original)
Milk chocolate (38%)(sugar, milk solids, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, emulsifiers (e322: soy, e476), flavouring), wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil, golden syrup, colours (e102, e110, e129, e133, e150), milk solids, cocoa, salt, raising agent(e500), emulsifier (e322: soy) and flavouring. May contain traces of peanut, other nut, egg or seed.

TAM TAM from Manischewitz
No Tam Tams.
It’s true. Manischewitz, which manufactures the bite-size matzos, says it has temporarily stopped making them at its plant in Newark, leaving many Jews puzzled and disappointed, and officials of the kosher food company scrambling to explain what went wrong.
“What we did was put a brand new oven in our Newark facility,” David Rossi, a spokesman for Manischewitz, said on Thursday. “Much higher speeds, all computer-controlled, a state-of-the-art baking line. That was something we were hoping to have up and running well prior to the Passover baking season. Due to some engineering delays, we missed the window.”
Unfortunately, the plant in Newark is the only one in the world that produces Manischewitz matzos and Tam Tam crackers, Mr. Rossi explained, because the company recently consolidated its operations, which were once in two other New Jersey cities, Jersey City and Vineland.
The news was first reported in The New Jersey Jewish News.
In December, Mr. Rossi said, company officials were forced to make a difficult decision: temporarily eliminate some of their products or make less of all them. They went with the former, which included halting production of some less popular products like Passover Thin Tea Matzo, Yolk Free Egg Matzo, White Grape Matzo, Concord Grape Matzo and Spelt Matzo.
“Man-Oh-Manischewitz!” sighed Avi Friede, owner of Kosher Nosh Delicatessen in Glen Rock, N.J., invoking a longtime company slogan. “That’s right, I don’t have any Tam Tams on my shelf.”
Not to worry, Mr. Rossi said. Many other unleavened products will still be available for Passover, which begins the evening of April 19.
And Tam Tams — which were first developed in 1940 and now account for $1 million to $2 million in annual sales — will be back on shelves by late April or early May, he said.
His assurances went only so far.
“It’s very upsetting,” said Diana Leader-Cramer, 24, a research analyst for Merrill Lynch. “I’m very distraught.” She said she would just have to make do with regular old Passover matzo this year.
Mr. Friede said that he used to serve Tam Tams with soup, but stopped a few years ago, either because of rising costs or a shortage, he could not remember which.
Besides, he said, the product had not sold as well in recent years and the younger generation seemed to lack an affinity for it.
“I think that generation has either moved to Florida or passed on,” he said. “My kids, my grandchildren, don’t go for that stuff.”
In Teaneck, N.J., which has a large Orthodox Jewish population, some shoppers said they had noticed the recent shortage and had been scrounging for the crackers.
“My mother found a few up in Rockland County,” said Toni Nayowitz, owner of Judaica House Ltd., a bookstore and trinket shop. “They’re as scarce as hen’s teeth.”
Ms. Nayowitz said her husband, who crumbles plain Tam Tams into his coffee (“his deep, dark secret”), has simply had to do without in recent months.
Eldee Stephens, 28, of Waterbury, Conn., an engineer with I.B.M., said that fortunately, his wife tends to hoard the crackers, so they should have plenty on hand for the foreseeable future.
“The stuff lasts forever,” said Mr. Stephens, who dips his in salsa. “It’s not like matzo can really go stale. At least I can’t tell if it does.”
