Retro Cell Phone Handset

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Found on the Net… With new technology, certain aesthetic bells and whistles have been eliminated. Tiny phones no longer require a traditional handset, but people do! For the people, we offer the Retro Cell Phone Handset. It’s an old-fashioned, honest-to-goodness real handset you can plug in to most cell phones, allowing you the kind of look and feel you’ve always dreamed of when on the road with your mobile phone. (Oh, and did we mention it makes a great gift? It does. Especially for yourself.)

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Сегодня на 58-м году жизни в Москве скончалась известная актриса театра и кино Любовь Полищук. По словам ее дочери Маши, мама долго болела и умерла сегодня в 06:00 утра.

Любовь Григорьевна Полищук родилась 21 мая 1949 года в городе Омске. В 16-летнем возрасте девушка отправилась в столицу поступать в театральный институт. С театром не получилась, но Полищук стала студенткой Всероссийской творческой мастерской эстрадного искусства. После окончания мастерской в 1967 году вернулась домой в Омск и начала работать в местной филармонии. Начинала Любовь Григорьевна как артистка разговорного жанра – читала со сцены скетчи и монологи.

Medical Advisory re HFMD!

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

Attention Canadian Parents,

Our kid had this thing twice in the last few months. The exact source of this virus is unknown to us however, we think that we picked it up at the daycare (few kids had the same thing before we got it). It only affects small kids. Grownups don’t notice this even if they have it. The whole thing starts abrubptly with high fever and development of small boils on palms, feet and inside of the mouth which causes the most problems because it hurts when the child eats or driks. The whole thing lasts few days to a week or in some cases longer. See details, information links and the official medical “mambo-jambo” inside …

Very good “Smart” toys from Russia for your little ones

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

Вот, друзья и знакомые добрые люди посоветовали. Сайт с “никаким” дизайном продает отличные игрушки для маленьких. Знакомые друзей покупают на этом сайте игрушки для детей в Нью-Йорке.

Доставка из России в Америку или Канаду довольно дорогая, но все с лихвой окупается низкой ценой практически на все, что есть в этом магазине. Выходит все равно дешевле, посравнению с эквивалентными игрушками в Северной Америке. Для тех, кто в России – ещё проще.

Много комментариев родителей и просто посетителей. Детали внутри статьи (See comments in English inside).

KomiArcticOil Reunion Party. Usinsk. November 4, 2006

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

We had KAO Reunion party in Usinsk on November 04, 2006. We rented a cozy cafe; and spent 7 happy hours there singing, dancing, eating, drinking, laughing and simple chatting.

It is difficult to imagine that 5 (!) years have past already after the Company stopped to exist as a legal entity, as former KAO people still feel themselves as KAO people. There is no the Past Tense for our most beloved Company!

We always know that if anybody is in trouble he (or she) can ask his/her KAO friends (Russians or Canadians) and they will help the person by all means ASAP! Our friendship is strong and everlasting.
