Nuclear Warhead Convoy Secretly Passes Through Chilwell, Nottingham
imc-notts features | 11.05.2007 09:21 | Faslane | Anti-militarism
It has come to light that in the early hours of Thursday 10th May a convoy carrying nuclear warheads secretly passed through the Stapleford and Chilwell area of Nottingham. The vehicles were spotted driving into the Chetwynd Barracks in Chilwell at 6.30am for a rest stop. Heading for the Royal Naval Armament Depot (RNAD) in Coulport, Scotland, the convoy was spotted along the M1 and also the next day as it continued its route along the east coast and along the Edinburgh Bypass. According to a spokesperson for Nukewatch UK, who keep an eye on nuclear convoys around the UK, the route hasn't been used since the early 90's. She also mentioned that no convoys have been spotted entering the Chetwynd Barracks and it might be an indication of the convoys starting to use the Chetwynd Barracks for rest stops.
The convoy passed through dense populated areas in Stapleford and Chilwell before and after its rest stop at the army base on Chetwynd Road, Chilwell. According to campaigners each lorry weighs approx 44 tonnes and can carry up to 2 ready assembled nuclear warheads, which can contain up to 8 kg of plutonium and uranium each. Each of the modern warheads has the capacity of creating 8 times the impact of that of the bombs used in the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by America in 1945. The convoy was spotted leaving Burfield Atomic Weapons Establishment, 50 miles North of London around 12.30am on Thhursday morning. At Burfield AWE the warheads and explosives get assembled into working nuclear weapons. There were people stationed along the route from Stirling to Coulport attempting to resist the convoy. Read report.

What is a nuclear weapon convoy?
A nuclear weapon convoy is a cluster of vehicles travelling by road in convoy formation. It can be: * Carrying Trident nuclear warheads * Travelling empty to collect or having unloaded nuclear warheads * Engaged in an exercise simulating the transport of warheads * En route to or from an accident & emergency exercise on a military base.
The convoy comprises TCHD (Truck Cargo Heavy Duty) load carriers, Ministry of Defence Police escort vehicles, military support vehicles to deal with accidents or breakdowns and three minibuses of Royal Marines, often spread out over a couple of miles travelling at up to 55mph. Once seen, a nuclear weapons convoy is easily recognisable and unlike anything else on the roads. There is a multiplicity of escort vehicles, and the carriers are 44 tons, seven axle, articulated dark green trucks. Apart from the Marines' vehicles, the convoy is garaged and maintained at Aldermaston. The Trident warheads are carried in large crates inside the green trucks. They are fully assembled and complete. The core of the warhead is a ball of plutonium and uranium. This is surrounded by specially developed conventional high explosives which would be ignited to create the critical mass necessary for a nuclear detonation when launched and targeted.
What are the dangers?
Nuclear weapons convoys often pass close to or even through large towns. It would be impossible to evacuate heavily populated areas on the routes in time to avoid the potential consequences of a traffic accident involving a nuclear warhead. MOD accident guidelines do not explain whether traffic would be quarantined, sent on its way or gridlocked in the contaminated zone.
The official line of the Ministry Of Defence (MOD) is that there is no risk of a nuclear detonation during transport but in an accident, the highly volatile "conventional" explosive could be set off, causing the warhead to 'jet' plutonium. It estimates that, in a serious accident a circle some 600 yards in radius would be affected by blast and fragments of explosives. Even more problematic than the explosion itself would be its effect in dispersing alpha emitting plutonium and uranium particles down wind for miles.

Hypermodern nuclear sub set to leave Britain in one month
11.05.2007 16:04
Babelfish translation, bu the message is clear:
Construction most advanced submarine of the world in United Kingdom
London, 10 may (PL) Within a month will conclude the Astute, considered more the advanced nuclear submarine of the globe, destined to the Real Navy of United Kingdom, indicated military sources today.
The ship will have a nuclear reactor able to offer energy to him during its 25 years of life utility and produces potable water and own oxygen, with no need to raise the surface.
From the military point of view, the capacity of precision of its missiles so is elevated that an objective to North Africa could from the English Channel locate, emphasized the sources.
The project has a delay of four years and the used budget ascends to more than thousand 800 million dollars.
Although it trusts to finish within 30 days, the director of Operations, Nigel Ward, remembered that one is to make a nuclear submarine and can arise many disadvantages.
If they fulfill the term, the four government will order Astutes more and gradually, the next generation that transports the missiles of the Real Navy.
The ship weighs seven thousand 800 tons, it supplies themselves of a pressurized water reactor and can lodge a crew of 98 people.

Dolores O'Riordan, lead singer of the Irish rock band The Cranberries, has passed away at the age of 46.
O'Riordan was in London for a recording session when this sudden death happened, her publicist announced. The band had to cancel part of The Cranberries reunited tour in 2017 due to the back problem O'Riordan was suffering.
O'Riordan's distinctive vocals and her Irish lilt and yoddie drives her group to a huge success. The Cranberries shot to fame in 1990s with the romantic hit 'Linger', which was written by O'Riordan because of "being dumped publicly" when she was a teenager. The rock band was among one of the most successful groups of that decade in the world, selling over 40 millions records. Their first hit 'Linger' received great success in Ireland, the US and the UK, reaching the Top 10 in the first two countries and Top 20 in the latter.
In 2017, The Cranberries released a new album "Something Else" as a reunited album and was having a European tour. However, part of the tour was forced to cancel as O'Riordan's health was declining and their US tour was curtailed as advised by O'Riordan's doctors.
The sudden death of O'Riordan has shocked her family, the rock group, Irish musicians and her fans. Irish president Michael D Higgins offered his condolences to the singer's family, stating that "her death will be a big loss" to people who follow and support Irish music. Indeed, the world has lost a rock music talent today.
Have a listen to the band's latest album.

Courts Bill [Lords] – in a Public Bill Committee at 3:30 pm on 1st July 2003.
I beg to move amendment No. 21, in
clause 41, page 20, line 27, at end insert—
'( ) No act is invalidated merely because of the disqualification under this section of the person by whom it is done.'.
I should like at the outset to put this amendment in context. Clause 41 deals with the disqualification of lay justices who are members of local authorities—in other words, councillors. It provides that a magistrate who is a member of a local authority may not sit in cases where that authority has an interest. It replicates
section 66 of the Justices of the Peace Act 1997, which included a provision which meant that no Act was to be invalidated merely because a justice was disqualified. That provision was removed in the other place because of concerns about ''fair tribunals'', arising from article 6 of the European convention on human rights.
The Government remain satisfied that the inclusion of that provision does not infringe article 6. The Joint Committee on Human Rights published its agreement with that view in its fourth report for the 2002–03 session. Its members are satisfied that the clause, as originally drafted, did not infringe article 6 of the ECHR. The Government pay considerable attention to the views of that Committee, and we do not believe that we should disagree with it on this occasion. We consider that it would be inappropriate for the amendment that was tabled in the other place to stand, and that is why we are seeking to move the amendment to correct it at this stage.
Article 6 of the ECHR refers to the determination of a party's civil rights and obligations, or of any criminal charge against him. Where the justices act in circumstances that do not engage the article, or where the participation of the individual does not violate it—as may be the case at an interlocutory hearing on uncontentious matters—the subsection would provide that the action would not be invalidated merely because of the disqualification. If it is felt that article 6 applies in a particular case, it is always possible for a party to appeal. Where no prejudice is caused by the magistrate's disqualification, it would be unreasonable and burdensome to invalidate those decisions.
As the Minister says, there was a lot of debate about that issue in another place, and it will not be helpful to repeat it all this afternoon. We took the view—it may be that the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome, whose noble Friends are also involved in debating the matter, does so too—that it would have been better if the judgment taken by another place had been allowed to rest. We are disappointed that the Government have chosen to reverse it, but we understand where the Minister is coming from. He says that the Joint Committee is content and that the Government do not want to second guess, or undermine, the judgment of the Joint Committee.
Having said we are disappointed that the Government have chosen to reverse the decision of another place, it would not be helpful to go over that ground again. I will restrict my remarks to saying that I suspect that we may have to go back to the matter on Report, if we still feel that that would achieve something positive. At this stage, I leave my remarks at that.
Amendment agreed to.
Question proposed, That the clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill.
Is there a satisfactory definition of ''local authority'' anywhere in statute that does not require the whole lot to be repeated in future definitions? I refer particularly to the inclusion of
separate clauses for the Corporation of the City of London and the Common Council of the City of London. It is such a waste of paper and statute time. There should surely be a definition of ''local authority'' that clarifies the expression under the wording of a particular Act.
I am tempted to pass on the hon. Gentleman's comments to the Common Council of the City of London, but I suspect that its members would not be particularly grateful to receive them. We should make similar provision under the clause as that set out in section 66 of the Justices of the Peace Act 1997, which provided for the various disqualifications of magistrates who were members of the local authorities. Definitions of ''local authority'' differ in different parts of the Bill, so we have to make sure that we are thorough in our explanation and description; it is better to be thorough than to miss things.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 41, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Letters to the editor, July 9
Well, let's see, we recite these words in the Pledge of Allegiance: "one nation, indivisible" yet, the divisions between blacks and whites are as deep as the Grand Canyon. In light of the most recent senseless police shootings of two black men and the horrific retaliation by the sniper who murdered five Dallas cops, all I can think of are these words, "we have met the enemy, and he is us."
Piers Lahey, Daly City
Deadly robot
I have no sympathy for the Dallas police shooter, and I'm far from an expert on standoffs, but I wonder why the police didn't strap a tear gas canister to the robot instead of a bomb. Or wait until he fell asleep.
Mark Snyder, Hercules
No safety in guns
Regarding Baton Rouge and Dallas: Would we feel safer if everyone were allowed to carry around a nuclear bomb? Then why do we feel safer if everyone is allowed to carry around a gun? How difficult it must be to be a cop and make a split-second decision whether a suspect is reaching for his wallet or a gun. Texas is an open-carry state. Was anyone there yesterday safer because of it?
Jay Chafetz, Walnut Creek
Time for change
Regarding "Police ambushed at Dallas protest" (July 8): Your cover photograph today of the weeping black policeman in Dallas is worth far too many sad words. Coincidentally, last night as the shootings occurred, I was reading a new collection of columns by the late, great longtime Chronicle and Rolling Stone music and culture critic Ralph J. Gleason. Writing in 1973 about Nixon and Watergate, he concluded "The American system is in need of change ... but the change that is needed has to come from the people and for the people. We need to live and work and plan to legally and intelligently make over our system for the benefit of people and not the corporations. We have to do it without killing. And that is really hard." For, as Mahatma Gandhi warned, "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind."
Steve Heilig, San Francisco
Stop the hate
We have had the age of innocence, enlightenment, Aquarius and now hate. Hate seems to be spreading faster than any virus. It rides on bumpers, sits on yard signs, is spewed on radio and television and preached from pulpits. People are even paid to keep it ignited. Politicians don't want to talk about their qualifications, they want to talk about how bad their opponent is. Gays and homeless individuals are beaten and set on fire for sport.
Thanks to our current advanced forms of communication, we can bully and torment each other online. Our country was founded on religious freedom never dreaming there would be so many different religions trying to coexist together. Love is the key to happiness, loving ourselves leaves little room for hating others. If we all looked, acted and thought the same, the world would be very boring.
Jeanne Larson, Wellington, Nev.
What will it take?
It has happened again, and this time in Dallas. Another mass shooting, and if we go with the National Rifle Association's argument that if we have more good guys with guns, we'll all be safer seems to be ringing hollow. Eleven officers were shot and five are dead, but even that will not be enough to move an immovable Congress or the NRA. No, we'll get another moment of silence, President Obama will give another speech, and the body count will continue. We need to look at what "well-regulated" means in the Second Amendment. It doesn't mean what we currently have in America.
John Koetzner, Healdsburg
Just a glimpse
With each incident of white police officers murdering African Americans all across America, I believe many white Americans are just beginning to glimpse the extent of racism in America that African Americans have always lived with.
Marc Goldrath, Foster City
Political agenda
Commenting on the police shootings in Dallas, President Obama took the opportunity to comment on the need for gun control. For him to advance his political agenda, while people protecting this country had recently been slaughtered, is unbelievable. It's insensitive and dangerous. It suggests to others that their acts of violence may be justified; after all, guns are the real problem, not my acts.
Daniel Mauthe, Livermore
Moving homeless
Regarding "City cannot provide for nation's homeless" (July 7): Thank you, C.W. Nevius, for your column on the homeless. Millions of people across the country would love to move to San Francisco, but they don't because they can't afford the high cost of housing in the most expensive housing market in the country.
So why do our elected officials and homeless advocates think that the residents of San Francisco should be obligated to provide housing for every down-and-out person who comes to San Francisco to take advantage of the services that we provide here?
Most of them are never going to get a job, many are convicted felons, many are mentally ill that were given a bus ticket to the city from other places, and the rest are urban campers who like to get high on the drugs that are dealt on every street corner in the Tenderloin. The police and the judges need to get these people off our streets, tents on the sidewalks are not acceptable. Offer them a bus ticket (or plane fare) to any rust-belt city that has hundreds of abandoned homes. San Francisco cannot and should not be expected to resolve the national homeless problem by itself.
Dennis Holl, San Francisco
Regarding "Their turn" (Letters, July 8): I read a recent submission about Tony Blair's responsibility for the Iraq War and wondering when we can expect the same from former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney. My answer is: Never! At least the British people hold Blair's feet to the fire. What's wrong with this country? Why aren't we doing the same? This lie must be resolved, and all those responsible held accountable.
Joel Schwartz, San Rafael

So I just spent 8.5 straight hours on the senior design report. By the time I'd (finally) gotten to the end of it at 840 PM, I literally went, "Wait… Where did the sun go? Was there even sunlight today?!" Legit, I did not even realize that Housemate #2 had left the apartment for 2 hours, came back, cooked her dinner – well suffice to say, I didn't realize anything, really.
I'm super tired right now, but it's one of those nights – brain's fried, but mind continues to be on overdrive. I figured I'll publish this, in case I don't have time later today or tomorrow. It's sad that Koala has decided to drop the show – sometimes I think she's way too hard on a drama, but jadedness comes with experience and personal opinions and responses are definitely one's own, so… it's just what it is.
I admit I'm super bummed that Yoo Ah In apparently admitted he's not getting his lovelorn character (thus acting as Lee Soon is difficult) because I really thought he nailed the character and pretty much hit the ball right out of the park in episodes 13 & 14. Personally and quite frankly, I was blown away by his acting in these two episodes; all that intense vibe he channeled, hot damn. I'm also a little bit bummed that I'm not enjoying this show as I ought to – thanks to Real Life derailments – but for whatever it is worth, though it's somewhat on a narrative crapper at times with the direct mean streak from Queen Mother and our resident heroine, I still think this show's very watchable, has potential and the romance is heart-tugging.
With that, here's Part 2 of Pimp That Scene for Jang Ok-jung, Live In Love episodes 13 & 14!
Part II: Everything(one) in Between!
So our second (third?) lead finally made an appearance! Hello there, Jae Hee or should I say Chi Soo? It's really been awhile…
But I like it that this guy's got game – he clearly has A Hidden Agenda and seems to be swift in making his moves, doing business with Minister Min immediately and best of all, not letting the latter use him! Brownie cookies for ya on that.
Of course no second lead is without his broody moments, as we witnessed here. I will admit – I am loving and totally feeling the intensity from him! This broody look was smoldering, intense and upped the ante in the claim for Ok-jung's heart – provided he still stands a chance, that is.
Sung Dong-il's character seems to be the outright baddie at this point but I'm indifferent towards his character, honestly that I'm just rolling with whatever the show's giving me. He never quite seemed to be one to carry the pathos from the start, so I'm cool with him just being plot movement. However, acting credits must be given where they're due – here's him as usual, giving gravitas to an otherwise easy, baddie role. This expression? Oooh, he totally has something up his sleeves, just look at that shifty-eyed expression…
Of course, similar to episodes 11 & 12, this particular week's episodes have also been all about the ladies. Oh the cattiness, contrasted with the beautiful, springtime backdrops time and again – oof, don't you just feel the coldness which each lady's every word towards one another?
In hindsight, I get it that In Hyun is not completely innocent, nor is she the outright victim in this not-quite-a-love-triangle where Lee Soon and Ok-jung are concerned. What I find most frustrating about her character though is that she is innately kind, which I appreciate, but she's also ineffective and thus, indifferent. She knows things are wrong, like when Ok-jung's mum was ridiculed but she did nothing, for instance. I get her anger, because even if she's well aware of her father evilness – he's still her father, which makes this a sticky subject. But what's morally right is clear-cut, or so I believe.
In another instance shown here, she's aware that the Queen Mother totally did something cruel – that not-quite-an-accident incident towards Ok-jung – but she kept truth from Lee Soon when she should have revealed it, in the name of principles you know? I get it – a rock and a hard place, all that jazz. But I think I could empathize more sincerely with her had she been principled not just internally, but also outwardly, the latter which I'm not getting from her from the very beginning until now. No wonder Ok-jung and Lee Soon have issues with her; it isn't that she's unkind, but… She's morally compromised, I guess one can say. This below, is exactly why I love the scene and statement so very much – apt, completely apt.
But from the perspectives of a woman to another – I can't help but empathize and sympathize with her. She has her flaws and is as I'd said, ineffectual because unlike Ok-jung, her actions are all passive, but… when she displays such sadness and vulnerability as shown here…
And keeps walking in on these two lovebirds – more than once, at that –
Surely… something's got to give, you know?
Yes these lovebirds are happy and yes she not only doesn't even stand a chance, but she's also not exactly the strongest competitor either. However when she's in tears like this – Hong Soo Hyun is totally bringing it, by the way – and the emotions are so clearly depicted on her expression: frustration, betrayal, forlorn sadness and just that feeling of unfairness and annoyance … It's hard for me to pump my fist at her sadness. It doesn't feel right.
Plus, I'll admit this aloud – I don't like Ok-jung lately. In fact, to be totally honest: I didn't like her at all in these two episodes, hence no caps of her. She's just cunning and spiteful at this point, in my opinion. I totally understand that she's had to put up with a lot of shit from these people throughout her life that it's no wonder, in fact perhaps even justified, that she puts them in their place now. However, I have issues with her keep being all about "I'm the woman who's received the King's grace!" – girl, I geddit, but he's just a man. But of course, in retrospect – this is my modern-mind talking, le sigh.
Episodes 15 & 16? I hope you can get me back on the momentum of excitement!
I still love you Show, but you're starting to feel like you're requiring lots of effort to watch lately – not fun.

Bankstown City (BCNA) has delivered Eastwood Ryde (ERNA) its first loss of the season to be crowned the 2015 DOOLEYS State League Division 5 Champions with a thrilling 37-33 Grand Final victory tonight, Monday 20 July, at Netball Central.
After playing out a thrilling 38-all draw in Round 7, the two teams put on a terrific contest for spectators with BCNA weathering a storm of resurgence from ERNA to be claim the title.
Head Coach Louise Jegers was ecstatic on her BCNA's efforts, saying it was always going to take something special to defeat the as-yet-undefeated ERNA in the title decider.
"It was a fantastic effort, especially to hold that lead throughout the game. Eastwood Ryde are not a team to be reckoned with – they've been the form side all season – so we've watched what they've been doing and worked really hard on our game plan, and I think my girls just brought it tonight," Jegers claimed.
"We had nothing to lose – Bankstown played with passion, they were relaxed, and they were really excited to just be here [at the Grand Final]. Commiserations to Eastwood Ryde, but I think our girls just came out fighting and had a great game."
ERNA took a psychological edge into the match having yet to post a defeat in 2015 – a drawn result in Round 7 (ironically against BCNA) their only blemish. But it was BCNA who were able to get the upper hand early, slowly but surely getting on top of ERNA after the match began on equal footing.
Halfway through BCNA had doubled ERNA's score, however the Minor Premiers weren't to be discourage. Finding their straps ERNA began to piece together some beautiful transitional play which their shooters were able to capitalise. Only the clock was against their side as it disrupted a purple patch for ERNA who were cruelly denied a late goal to get back to within three goals at the first break.
ERNA didn't allow the break to disrupt their momentum as they stormed into the second 15 minutes, equalling the scoreboard after four minutes play. This was much in part to a strong defensive pressure that made it difficult for BCNA to find a way past their attacking transverse line.
Locked in another see-sawing battle, the intensity lifted as player threw everything into the contest willing to gain possession. Enjoying the momentum swing ERNA hit the front, forcing BCNA into force mode for the first time in the match. Their opposition responded – their midcourters working overtime to turn over possession in ERNA's attacking third.
Their efforts – combined with some miscommunication by the shooters in the circle – allowed BCNA to gain back the advantage which they were able to maintain into the half-time break, leading ERNA 19-17.
Early mistakes marred the start of the second half, both sides getting locked into some scrappy play which once again saw BCNA come out on top. Their circle defenders in particular were relentless in confusing the space in ERNA's circle, while going on the hunt for the high ball.
But they could never shake the Minor Premiers who emerged from a timeout with vengeance to once again level the scores halfway through the third quarter after trailing by as many as three. The resulting five minutes was animated as the crowd found their voice.
In the end ERNA were able to outscore their opposition by one goal for the second consecutive quarter, BCNA holding on to a slim one-goal buffer at the final break.
Trailing by just one goal the Minor Premiers came out firing for the final 15 minutes, but costly errors took the pressure off BCNA as they went on to score the first three unanswered goals to get back out to a handy four-goal buffer.
But ERNA would give up the good fight, keeping within touch of their opposition to keep fans on the edge of their seats. With five minutes left on the clock BCNA were up by five goals – the determination in their transitional play a sign of things to come.
With the clock quickly ticking over ERNA fell afoul of the clock, unable to catch their opposition's lead with BCNA running out to finish four-goal victors.

Held in Thimphu Bhutan, the Techstars Startup Weekend was supported by UNDP Bhutan and Youth Co:Lab. Bhutan's second StartUp weekend of 2017 on the theme of ecotourism. This is the third in a recent series focusing on youth entrepreneurship in Bhutan following the first Startup Weekend on the theme of technological innovation (held from 27- 29 October in Puntsholing) and the Global Entrepreneurship Week led by the Loden Foundation that took place between the 13-19 of November.
Bhutan provides a particularly interesting example for the rolling out of Youth Co:Lab in a small landlocked country that has had predominantly public sector led economic model. The current administration demonstrated a keen interest in the role of youth-driven, sustainability focused models that echo the emphasis that the mountain nation has always given to the concept of Gross National Happiness.
130 people were in attendance, 56 of which pitched ideas. Thirteen teams went on to develop projects that were pitched in front of the his excellency the Prime Minister of Bhutan, Tshering Tobgay, who stated: "We live in in a startup nation. It is up to all of us to fulfill the potential that we have here to create the startup nation together. We are unique. Our startup journey started many decades ago as a small impoverished country. Our Kings decided to give us free education and healthcare and to focus on Gross National Happiness (GNH). Your ideas reach out to community and the environment. They reach out to the poor and to the community. Here in Bhutan, it is clear we go beyond the bottom line."
Discussions are underway to hold a National Dialogue style event in 2018 that will bring greater discussion about the bottlenecks that entrepreneurs face in the country for setting up and scaling of firms.

Tonight on Facebook, I found a group – one of those "just for fun, remember growing up here" groups for my hometown. I started looking through it and had to laugh at all the memories that suddenly came flooding back…
I grew up in a suburb of Chicago. A South Side 'burb that bordered Chicago itself. When I went to college, I learned that saying "I'm from the South Side of Chicago" made people ask "Wow, was it really rough?" I'd then have to explain that I really meant my very white bread suburbia town. The first time Josh came to visit there, he joked that Wally and the Beaver should be coming down the street, it was that suburban to him.
It was a larger town – 150,000 or so people – but it had a smaller town feel in a way (though now that I actually live in a very small town, I can laugh at that.) We lived by the library and fire station and commuter train stop and Dove's ice cream parlor. 95th Street (the four lane highway through town) was full of what we now call "mom and pop" stores. Clothing shops, the pet shop, the music store, office supplies, ice cream parlors and pizza places. Good pizza. And good ice cream.
I watched things change a little as I grew up. The pet shop moved a block or so down the street. They tore down the Coral Theater. Dove's closed. White Castle's got a makeover. They finally built something on the corner of 95th and Cicero in the lot that had been empty for years, after fire took out a couple of stores. But so much more stayed the same.
Then I went to college out-of-state. Changes started to creep in. A strip mall went in near the train station, where a bar and a real estate company had been. No one really missed the bar. Then I got married and moved to yet another state. I'd go back for visits and notice that they tore down another set of buildings for a TGI Fridays. An old record shop and house were now gone. Plus, in the neighborhood, small little post-WWII houses were getting torn down and condos were being built. Where there was a little home was now a three flat, modern and convenient to the train station.
My mother moved away from there several years ago, leaving me no real reason to go back to visit. Last year, we went back there for my grandmother's funeral and driving through the town, I realized it was no longer the place I grew up in. It seemed like a lot of its character had been taken away, torn down to put up new strip malls and chain restaurants.
Maybe it's just part of growing up and going away. Or maybe it's that I can be a highly sentimental person. But tonight, reading all those posts about "Do you remember…?" made me remember things I'd forgotten about. A time that no longer is, in a place that's no longer the same. But I can still see it all in memory.

The University of Redlands men's tennis team welcomed the Judges of No. 21 Brandeis University (MA) to Verdieck Courts for a non-conference match on Friday afternoon. In a tough turn of events, the Bulldogs suffered a closer-than-it-appears, 1-8 loss.
In doubles, Redlands battled at every position but came up short in a sweeping result. Senior Chase Lipscomb (Irvine, CA) and junior Brad Cummins (Rancho Mirage, CA) pushed their No. 1 counterparts to a 6-8 decision in the tightest performance.
Now trailing 0-3, the Maroon and Gray faced a significant uphill climb to overcome the deficit. Unfortunately for the home team, the Judges kept pressing and secured straight-set wins at the top-three slots.
With the match already decided, the Bulldogs continued to fight and showed incredible heart. Cummins came away victorious at No. 4 with his 3-6, 6-4, 10-8 showing. First-years Andrew Yip (Honolulu, HI) and Thomas Reznik (Belmont, CA) also competed in super-breakers at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively, but those matches went in favor of Brandeis.
Redlands (0-1) travels to Azusa Pacific University on Saturday, February 23, for an exhibition match against the Cougars at 9:30 a.m.

To the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of his Majesties Treasury.
May it please your Lordships
We the Warden Master Worker & Controller of his Majesties Mints do most humbly represent that by our Charter confirmed by many Kings for above five hundred years past all the Officers Workers Moneyers & other Ministers of the Mints are incorporated throughout all England into one body under the Government of a Warden with freedome from Arrests & other great Privileges {&} without subjection of our Corporation to the particular Government or Iurisdiction of the Tower of London or its liberties. And that the Kings of England have given us the ground & houses between the Lines in the said Tower out of their royal favour & for our greater security & not to deprive us of those their other royal grants above mentioned & bring us into subjection trouble {&} danger . And also that his Majesty by the Indenture of the Mint doth will & streightly charge all officers of the Tower that all the Officers of the Mint & their servants & all importers of gold & silver shall have free ingress & regress & issue by the Gates & through the same Tower & Franchises thereof inward & outward at all times without any arresting disturbance letting or gainsaying of the chief Governour Co{ns}table Lieuetenant or the Porter or any other Officer or Person whatsoever he be for any manner of debt matter or cause whatsoever it be & without any thing given to any of them or to any other to have such entry or issue.
And we further represent to your Lordships that we have at all times in every thing shewed due respect to my Lord Lucas as chief Governour of the Tower And therefore we are concerned that we should be now forced to represent to your Lordships that on Satturday the third Instant, Philip Atherton one of our Labourers was apprehended in our Melting house without the licence or knowledge of our Warden by Roger Bayly a Constable by virtue of a Warrant of Robert Bateman Esqr one of his Majesties Iustices of the Peace for the Liberties of the Tower backt with another Warrant of my Lord Lucas & is now detained in New Prison from the Kings service. And that on the same day one of the Warders, to let out of the Mint some people which he had brought in, seized the Gate of the Mint & took the Porters son by the throat; whence arose a fray between them which caused such a tumultuous concourse of people as rendred the money unsafe which was then coming down the street of the Mint in Trays & that the said Warder threatens revenge upon the Porters son wherever he meets him & my Lord Lucas himself threatens further (notwithstanding his Majesties will & command to the contrary exprest in the Charter & Indenture of the Mint) to sue our Porter for the same,
And we further represent to your Lordships that {t}he Centinals lately appointed to guard the door of the Engravers working room where the Dies & Puncheons were seized & kept by the Warden had orders to permit entrance as well to my Lord Lucas as to the Warden And that our Engraver Mr Harris having sollicited my Lord to turn Mr Roettiers family out of the Mint & my Lord having divers times prest the Warden to do it & threatned to apprehend Mr Iames Roettiers & at length an Information being made that King Iames was the{re}{n} seen in Mr Roettiers House, My Lord did thereupon seize the Gates of the Mint & search Mr Roettiers house two several days without giving notice to any Officer of the Mint of his intended search, & now demands a list of the names of all persons belonging to the Mint, in order to search their houses at pleasure, under pretence that they entertein such lodgers as belong not to the Mint & are dangerous to the Tower. Where as his Majesty by the Indenture of the Mint places in us the care of enquiring after such as live or inhabit in the Mint without our licence or other right & impowers us to turn them out, & military searches without us have not hitherto been used so far as we know, nor are necessary to the safety of the Tower the Mint being shut up on all sides by the Lines & we being ready to search either alone or with his Lordship upon notice of any danger, & if military searches without us should be now allowed & Constables let in upon us at pleasure we cannot undertake any longer the charge of the Dyes & Puncheons & Marking Engins & other coyning Tools & of the Gold & Silver which lyes scattered about in all the rooms apperteining to the coynage, nor will Merchants & other Importers think their estates secure in the Mint. We were placed in a Garrison not that the Exchange {&} Treasury of the Nation might not be invaded by {our} Guards but guarded in our custody from all manner of invasion.
And we further represent that the Centi{nals} begin to be rather a grievance then security to us. The Press-room about a fortnight ago was in danger of being robbed one of the Locks of the door being broken, which makes a suspicion that the Centinal was at {leas}tprivy to it, so that the Moneyers are now fain to lodge two Labourers in the Press room for their security which they never thought necessary to do before. And about the same time two of our houses being greatly disturbed at Midnight by a drunken Officer upon the Guards who drew his sword brake the window & would have forced himself into one of the houses & running after one of our servants made a pass at him & ran him through the cloaths & a Centinal being called either to come to their assistance or to call his Corporall with a File of Musketeers, the Centinal would not stirnor call. And when a Corporal & File of Musketeers were called by another person, the endeavoured to perswade a by-stander to beare false witness for turning the blame upon our men. And my Lord Lucas instead of being told the truth of such matters is only informed by the soldiers that our men get drunk & affront the Centinals, & has upon such informations ordered the Centinals to fire at us. Whereas heretofore the Centinals used not to be set singly as now, but to walk the Mint-street all night in a body strong enough to apprehend any drunken or disorderly person without firing at him. For why should we lose a good Artificer upon pretence of his being drunk, when the best are most addicted to that crime & it was never yet made death? Or why should every Centinal be impowered under any feigned pretence to shoot his enemy or any other man that complains, if such bloody discipline may safely be avoyded? Or why should the people who live in the Mint be so terrified as to leave their habitations in it to the neglect of the Kings service & insecurity of the treasure.
And we are further constrained to represent that the Warden on thursday last telling my Lord Lucas the misdemeanours committed in the Mint by this drunken Officer, his Lordship & the Deputy Governour together did the next day being Friday give strict charge to his Warders not to suffer either meat or drink to be brought into the Tower to workmen in the Melting-house or Press-room, & that if any were sent for, they should take it away from the messengers & give it to the soldiers, his Lordship pretending that the workmen abuse the same to excess & sell it to others, (which we never heard of) & that his Warders have an unreasonable trouble in examining persons that go in & out.. And this order being strictly put in execution gave so great discontent to the workmen, that but for the perswasion of the Officers of the Mint they would have left off their work that day & the two next days instead of nine potts were not able to melt above six & say they can work no more unless they may have speedy redress.
And we are further to acquaint your Lordships that my Lord Lucas represents that he doth not invade the Privileges of the Mint but that the power which he useth over us is asserted by ancient Records & Court Rolls preserved in the Tower,
All which we most humbly desire your Lordships according to your great wisdomes to take into serious consideration in order to our releife & pray that the Records & Court Rolls alledged by his Lordship may be produced & compared with our Charter & Indenture & the rights between the Tower & the Mint thence adjusted stated & limited so that both parties may know their Duties Privileges & Powers in respect of each other for conserving a good correspondence & friendship between them for the future & that what has hitherto by mistake been done against us may not be drawn into precedent hereafter.

The body of a child torn apart by a landmine lay in the sunburnt grass of Southern Sudan.
It was the moment former US Outlaws bikie Sam Childers decided to devote the rest of his life to saving the children of Africa.
"The body may have been there for about 12 or 16 hours," Mr Childers told AAP.
"As I stood there over the child I said 'God I'd do anything I can to help these people'."
Childers has arrived in Australia on a month-long speaking tour to youth detention centres, prisons, schools and churches where he hopes his story will inspire hope.
Childers gave up a life of drugs and crime in the notorious US Outlaws motorcycle gang after he noticed his life began to improve when he joined his then-girlfriend on her visit to church.
His dedication to Africa was sparked in 1998 when he stumbled across the child's body during a church mission to rebuild huts destroyed by war in Southern Sudan.
Not long afterwards Childers began building his first orphanage in Southern Sudan after selling his construction business back in the US.
Most of the orphans have lost their parents due to brutal violence, accidents or diseases such as AIDs and malaria.
Others are former child soldiers and sex slaves rescued by Childers from local militia groups such as the Lord's Resistance Army run by Joseph Kony.
"Kony was wanting to get a hold of me as much as I wanted to get a hold of him," Childers said of the murderer who is now believed to be hiding somewhere deep in the Congo.
With an AK47 in one hand and a bible in the other, Childers has become affectionately known as the Machine Gun Preacher.
His life story was published in his 2009 biography Another Man's War that was turned into a Hollywood feature film in 2011 called The Machine Gun Preacher.
Through his charity - The Angels of East Africa - Childers has built seven orphanages, seven schools, about 40 wells for clean drinking water, and a farm where he teaches those displaced by war how to make a living.
"We don't want them to be beggars, but to equip and teach someone a skill and trade that can change nations," Mr Childers told AAP.
"I can't save all the children but you do what you have to do".
Millions of people are on the brink of starvation in Southern Sudan as East Africa is gripped by a famine mainly due to conflicts between tribal groups, according to the United Nations Security Council.

I like this photo of Barry from Pagee GoGo playing last weekend at the Brink Lounge, though at first I thought it was a tosser. I suspect it would have been a better shot if I had applied a bit of exposure compensation. It also makes me wonder if I could have had the external flash fire at half strength to provide some light but not fully illuminate Barry. It might have been an effective place to bounce the flash, though the ceiling has some changes in height right where I was so that might not have worked very well. As always, there's plenty to learn. Share your tips on this topic if you have some.

Tropical Vacation
I met this lovely lady down in Jamaica
I knew it would have been a big mistake
If I told her how I felt that day I met her
Instead she told me 'bout the story we would make.
She turned to me. She said "I'm so glad I found you"
"I can tell that you and I were meant to be"
"And fall in love on a tropical vacation"
OMG! What's that, that she just said to me?
No time for celebration, 'cause my tropical vacation
Just turned into a wedding planning cruise.
There really was no other I admitted that I loved her
So I found the tiki bar and sang the blues.
Bikinis and bars, guitars and cigars
With palm trees you just gotta love it
With my new tattoo I'm playing here for you
Pretending that I'm Jimmy Buffett.
There's a sure sign that she's just fine
With my tropical island fixation
I'll cut to the chase there's a smile on my face
'Cause she's planning our next big vacation
Oh yeah!! – I'm doing my thing.
I'm livin' the dream – The other dream that is.
There's something to be said about playing the hand your dealt;
And I'm all in Baby.
I got my lovely lady, I got my toys, I got my Jack Daniels in my hand and my parrot on my arm.
Oh!!! and about that island paradise? Nice place to visit; but I really wouldn't want to live there
Like I said… I'm livin' the dream…

Bombardier aircraft deliveries delays by US shutdown
The US government shutdown is preventing Bombardier from delivering two regional aircraft because the Federal Aviation Administration has laid off employees that register new aircraft.
Bombardier has one CRJ900 set for delivery to Delta Air Lines, and a Q400 turboprop to an undisclosed customer.
Spokesman Marc Duchesne said the closure of the FAA Registry Office is a "nuisance."

A Hellish Pyramid Scheme
He may not have been the devil incarnate, but for those whose lives were ruined by Bernie Madoff, he might as well have been. Now the white-collar criminal mastermind gets his just desserts in Lee Blessing's new black comedy, "A User's Guide to Hell, Featuring Bernard Madoff," starring Edward James Hyland ("Boardwalk Empire"), which opened last weekend at Atlantic Stage in Chelsea.
The playwright is best known for "A Walk in the Woods," a 1986 Broadway work about nuclear proliferation that starred Robert Prosky and Sam Waterston. "A User's Guide" is one of a number of new plays that are based on the Madoff scandal, including Deb Margolin's "Imagining Madoff," Steven Levenson's "The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durnin" and Amanda Peet's "The Commons of Pensacola."
Directed by Michole Biancosino, "A User's Guide" begins at the convict's death; Madoff is escorted to Hell and given a tour by a working-class New Yorker unsubtly named Verge (David Deblinger, "The Sopranos"), in a nod to the Roman poet Virgil, the guide to the Underworld in Dante's "Inferno." As Madoff encounters a wide range of Hell's denizens (all played by Eric Sutton and Polly Lee) including Josef Mengele and 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta, he must face his misdeeds and question if his life was worth living.
In an interview, Biancosino told The Jewish Week that Madoff was the "embodiment of the ruthlessness of the American Dream." In directing the play, she said that she was influenced by New York Times journalist Diana Henriques' best-selling book, "The Wizard of Lies," which is slated to be turned into an HBO movie starring Robert DeNiro as Madoff. Henriques has suggested that the Madoff scandal was Shakespearean in the scope of its tragedy.

While Madoff is clearly the villain of Blessing's play, Biancosino noted that the drama asks searching questions about our society's worship of wealth. In one particularly revealing scene, she said, two stockbrokers fawn over Madoff for his chicanery, and laud him for diverting attention from even larger crimes perpetrated by the banking industry.
While Madoff may have been an icon of the excesses of capitalism, Biancosino concluded, the play is ultimately about "who we trust, and how we run our whole economy. The bank laws that allowed him to rob so many haven't been changed."
"A User's Guide to Hell, Featuring Bernard Madoff" runs at Atlantic Stage II, 330 W. 16th St., through Sept. 28. Performance times vary, but are typically Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., and weekends at 2 p.m. There is no performance on Yom Kippur. For tickets, $25, call (212) 352-3101 or visit www.projectytheatre.org.

Matthew has stayed in Marulaon waiting for transportation back to his own village. He's been going over to the church and working on his assigned portion of Matthew 13-19, and Aaron has been going over to work beside him.
Often, people ask us how long we think the translation of a New Testament in Lavukaleve will take. After three days of hard work, Matthew is still ploughing through a rough draft of chapter 13. Yesterday, while translating the parable of the wheat and the tares, Aaron gave Matthew a visual illustration with the seedlings that were growing closely together in containers on our porch.
After lunch, Aaron turned from working with his mind to working with his hands. The men of the village worked together to sew up leaf shingles and finish the District Priest's kitchen.

Next week I'll be traveling to Phoenix for a conference (The Unstoppable Confidence Networking Conference to be precise!). Not simply to attend the conference, but as an event sponsor.
As I make my travel arrangements, I'm getting more and more excited about attending this event. I mean, at the very least, the conference name alone should tell me I'm going to come away from the event with at least one or two great contacts! Not to mention heaps of information and loads of insights that go along with attending live events.
While I frequently blog about the benefits of attending live events (You can catch up on one of those posts here !) I rarely write about the benefits of sponsoring events like this.
So, what are the benefits of sponsoring events? Let's discuss!
Visibility/Exposure. The absolute biggest benefit of being an event sponsor is visibility. One of the most important things to do is to find an event that will be attended by members of your target audience. Then look at the different levels of sponsorship to see what might make the most sense for you. If you've created a new perfume, for instance, it might be worth it for you to be a gift bag sponsor at the Academy Awards. Yes, that is a dramatic example, but you see how that might pay off for a new company. Since I am speaking to small businesses … speakers, coaches, consultants and other service based businesses, a more realistic example might be a speaker or coach sponsoring a welcome bag at an event like I'm attending, or a much larger event like the annual eWomen Conference. In this case, her might be on the bag. Or, the goody bag might include a branded pen or mouse pad or something else attendees might use on a regular basis. For more exposure, you might want to up your game and have an exhibit table where you can showcase your business and talents and have an opportunity to speak with attendees during breaks as they meander through the exhibit hall. As an event sponsor, there are typically several other "higher value" opportunities that will be a bigger investment, but will also provide a greater level of visibility and exposure for you. You just have to look at the options and decide which one best fits your company and what you want to achieve as an event sponsor. It's all about visibility, and putting yourself out there in front of your target market or ideal client.Event sponsorship Is all about visibility, and getting out in front of your target market.Click To Tweet
Brand Association. If your company truly resonates with the event you're sponsoring (which it really should, otherwise it's the wrong event for you), you will benefit by some positive brand association. At some of the smaller more intimate events, if the attendees of a conference I'm attending absolutely ADORE the person putting on the event, they might be a bit more interested in my company just because I've supported it. And if they like the event, they might be more apt to like me by association. Awww! Think about that when you're looking for sponsorship opportunities. Make sure your values align with those of the event promoter and that it is a great fit for you to be part of.
Increased Business/Sales. If you're a service provider and you attend the event you've sponsored, in addition to having a "presence" at an exhibit table, your logo and company name will most likely be included on the event website as a sponsor. The same is typically included in the event program. And depending on your level of sponsorship, you might even have an ad in the event program, and your name and business mentioned on stage. Again, it's all about exposure, which will certainly increase the odds of your getting some new business as a result. This is so much more powerful if you're actually in attendance, so you can be introduced, rather than just mentioned.
Gratification. There's also that "feel good feeling" you can sometimes get from being an event sponsor. It can be very gratifying to be part of something bigger! Sponsoring a worthy cause or an event that might help make peoples' lives and businesses better can feel pretty good. Sometimes that feel good feeling is worth the sponsorship investment right there!
Business Expense. We small business owners are always searching for legitimate business expenses to help us out at tax time. Not only do you get the benefit of everything you learn by simply attending a live event, and the benefit of meeting and networking with so many other business owners – many of whom are your target market or possibly even your ideal client; sponsoring an event is a great way to network and mingle and promote your business – with the additional benefit of being able to claim all of your related expense on your taxes.
So, what do you think? Does being an event sponsor sound a bit more appealing to you now? If nothing else, keep the idea of event sponsorship in mind when looking at the next event you'd like to attend. Look at the next event you'd like to attend through the eyes of a sponsor and weigh the benefits over the additional cost. If you're a little nervous starting out … start with something small like a local Chamber Event … just don't discount the idea! You might just like it … I sure did!

A wide-ranging account of earthquakes, the least understood of natural disasters, with vivid stories of the havoc they create and a warning about what will someday happen in the United States.
Journalist Miles (Superstorm: Nine Days Inside Hurricane Sandy, 2014), a writer-in-residence at Green Mountain College, took an extended road trip across the country to report on the myriad risks of seismic disasters. Along the way, she picked the brains of cooperative engineers and scientists and chatted with miners and emergency managers, people with whom she established immediate rapport. A daring investigator, she descended into deep mines, gained entry to nuclear power plants (some of which are built on fault lines), and ventured into the interiors of high dams, observing, asking questions, and conjuring some scary conclusions—e.g., earthquakes happen, our infrastructure is in a sorry state, and many localities have no seismic codes to regulate construction. Miles lightens this grim picture with her conversational writing style. She shares her thoughts, emotions, and experiences, even the most commonplace ones, effectively taking readers along on her cross-country wanderings. In the Midwest, where fracking is common and quakes are frequent, her conversations with people waiting for the big one while living regularly with toppled chimneys and broken china are spot-on. While she describes past earthquakes in other countries, the author focuses mostly on the prospects of a major quake in this country and what can be done to prepare for it. After looking at struggles to develop technology that can predict earthquakes, Miles reports on the success of early warning systems, which can make a major difference in survival rates, and she sets forth a scenario in which a few seconds of warning and some preparedness measures can ameliorate the devastation of a major quake.
Occasionally long-winded but readable and engaging—not to mention eye-opening, as the author delivers a firm warning to policymakers as well as individual citizens.

Cabinetry 101: The Best Cabinet Designs for Your Space
Are you about to undertake a full kitchen remodel or are you simply looking to give your cooking space a fresh appearance? Either way, you'll want to install new cabinets in your kitchen. Even if installing new cabinets is the only thing you do in your kitchen, it's enough to completely transform the space.
Because cabinets claim so much floor and wall space and they tend to be the most expensive item in a kitchen remodel, they're be the focal point of your new kitchen. You can alter the look and feel of the entire space by installing new cabinets.
Understanding Your Options
Whether you already know how you want your new cabinets to look or your goal is to get more storage for your kitchen gadgets, it's important that you're familiar with the various options available to you.
Here are some of the kitchen cabinets you can choose from:
Construction Choices
There are basically two types of construction methods used to make cabinets: framed and frameless construction. Framed cabinets have vertical stiles and horizontal rails that cover the cabinet box. This kind of construction is more conventional than frameless construction.
Frameless construction is often called Euro style because the style originated in Europe. Frameless construction eliminates the frame and creates a modern look. Frameless construction makes the most of interior cabinet space.
Door / Drawer Options
When it comes to the doors for your new kitchen cabinets, you have a nearly unlimited number of styles to choose from. Here are some of them:
If you get custom kitchen cabinets, you can choose any kind of door you want. With Semi-Custom cabinets, you'll still have plenty of choices, but you won't have as many options as you would if you installed custom cabinets instead. If you choose stock cabinets, the selection for your new cabinets will be more limited than with custom cabinets and semi-custom cabinets, but you should be able to find a door style you will like and enjoy for years to come.
Construction Materials and Cabinet Finish
Kitchen cabinets can be built using various wood species, such as Cherry, Oak, Maple and Alder. If you're going with custom cabinets, your selection of wood species will be more varied than if you're choosing semi-custom cabinets or stock cabinets.
Whether you choose paint or stain for your cabinet finish, you will want to see samples from the dealer you're working with and make sure the color matches your expectations. White painted cabinets and gray painted cabinets are very popular, but if that's not for you, stained finishes let the beauty of the wood come through, and many people choose stains.
The key is to pick the finish color that works with the wood you choose. The wood and finish you select for your cabinets will have a big impact on your finished space, so investing the time to make your selections will pay off in the end.

Has Keira made the worst mistake of her life?
Unemployed Keira Callahan decides to try her luck at the casino before delving back into job hunting. As she walks through the casino, she bumps into the most handsome man she's ever seen. When he asks her to dinner, she doesn't hesitate. As she learns Cade Tyndale's story—he needs to wed or lose his British estate, her impulsive nature rears up and she agrees to marry him and move to England for one year. What does she have to lose except her heart to the impossibly handsome Earl of Barrett?
Cade put his glass down on the side table and pulled her into his arms. "Please don't be alarmed. He will not succeed," he said.
Being in his arms felt so right. Keira sighed. "I just hate the thought of Edward being so nasty to you."
Cade lifted her chin. "That's very sweet of you," he said, brushing his lips against hers.
His lips were soft and inviting. Desire scorched through her, leaving her breathless. She let him take the glass from her and stepped closer to him, pressing her body to his. Her curves fit perfectly against his solid muscles.
His hand caressed her cheek, and she moaned with pleasure. "Have I told you lately how beautiful you are?" he whispered.
Keira's lips parted, and Cade deepened their kiss, setting her heart on fire. This wasn't part of their deal, although there was nothing in the contract that said they needed to avoid all physical contact. This was what she wanted. This and much, much more. Her body was on fire, and she longed to know what it would be like to lie next to him. To have his hand trail up her body. To feel him fill her completely.
As if reading her mind, Cade abruptly broke contact and stepped back. "I've overstepped the boundaries of our agreement. Please excuse me," he said, stalking from the room.
Keira stood speechless, staring at his retreating back. She missed the warmth of his body, and without it, she felt adrift. One minute, he was kissing her senseless, and the next, he was gone. What had just happened?

Marketing specialist Kiera Callahan found herself unemployed. Ditching her expensive apartment, she stored her belongings and left for Vegas to spend some time with her sister's family. She had a lot to consider. What to do next with her life? Where to live? It was time for her to make a bold decision. Where better to consider her options and blow off some steam than the Bellagio?
Cade Tyndale, Earl of Barrett, was facing the biggest predicament of his life. After his father's death, Cade had inherited the title and the family estate. Unfortunately, his father had left a stipulation in his will. If Cade hadn't been married for one year by his 30th birthday, the estate would go to Cade's younger brother Edward, a spendthrift with no concern for his ancestral home. As Cade's 29th birthday was only five days away, it appeared Edward would soon have the control he desired. Cade needed to get away from his worries. Where better to escape it all than the Bellagio?
When Kiera won big at the slot machines, it appeared it was her lucky night. And when she literally ran into a gorgeous man with a sexy British accent, she was certain Lady Luck was smiling on her. Cade felt pretty lucky too. He was quite taken with the sexy, sweet American. Kiera fascinated him. And he fascinated Kiera as well. Cade was so charming, witty, and attentive. They dined together and quickly fell into easy conversation. Kiera shared her job woes and Cade told her about his father's will. He was so handsome and seemed so vulnerable that Kiera found herself offering to marry him. Why not? She was unemployed, had no home, and had always wanted to see England. It was just for a year. What could possibly go wrong?
What could go wrong? Well, aside from
• a vengeful brother who'd like nothing better than to end the marriage,
• adjusting to a lifestyle she couldn't even begin to fathom,
• trying to keep the marriage a business arrangement when all she wanted to do was throw herself into Cade's arms
Aside from all that, it should be easy.
The Accidental Wedding was a cute story with a clever plot. Kiera and Cade were likeable, genuine people. They were perfectly suited for one another. The only problem was that darn agreement. When they agreed to keep the arrangement strictly business, neither considered the idea that they would want more. How could veritable strangers affect each other so profoundly? Through their months together collaborating on castle events, attending functions together, and spending so much time in each other's company, they discovered a lot about each other. And they liked what they discovered. Their feelings for each other were growing deeper. The more time they spent together, the more they wanted each other. But Kiera was afraid that Cade only saw their relationship as temporary. And Cade was afraid pursuing more would make Kiera feel pressured. Still, each time they touched, their agreement to keep it strictly business crumbled a little bit more. I enjoyed watching Cade and Kiera's relationship slowly evolve after their marriage. From strangers to friends to partners to lovers. If you're looking for a story that has a sexy, fun feel to it and a sweet, happy ending, this one will more than fit the bill.
