about mid 1994
Several of Neil and Chloe's children have graciously shared their memories of parent's and family. Gratitude and special thanks are in order to each of them and their families for preserving the records of their parents, our ancestors. Grandpa Neil's own history, compiled and arranged in 1996 by his daughter (Ruth Forsyth Horne), from his many handwritten and typed journals, may be accessed at the LDS Church History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. We sincerely appreciate her work on these and other records as well as pictures she has shared. As much as possible she retained his spelling and punctuation.
A brief history, on this blog, of his childhood and growing years is titled 'Neil Snow Forsyth history'. With her kind permission I quote from Ruth's work. Their courtship and marriage, and first years living in Magrath and starting their family share more history of this family. Another post, 'Neil Snow and Chloe Roseltha Forsyth, Cardston Years' picks up the thread of Grandpa's history in 1924, as they move from Magrath to Cardston. His service in World War I is detailed as a separate post. We continue the narrative of their family during World War II, and their later years with an empty nest, from his records and Ruth's concise summaries:
"**World War II brought many changes to the home of Neil and Chloe. When Neil fought in the 1st world war, it was said to be the war to end all wars. Now just 20 years later their sons would have to go to war.
"Jan 2, 1941 – Ken chose to serve in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police which required a 5 year commitment, without marriage. He had proposed to June Hinman, and she had agreed to wait for him. He gave her a watch for a Christmas present, then he was off to Regina for his first training.**
"May 9 – Rex was now principal of Kimball School, and was boarding with Bp. Gerald Low. On this date he married Ruth "Chic" Campbell, a sister to Geralds wife."
"Scott had bought a lot and I was now putting in some time building forms for his basement. [From Ruth's personal history we learn that Scott was physically exempt from the war and he worked as manager of the Lumber yard in Cardston.]

"Aug 15, 1941 **Duane joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and reported to Manning Depot in Edmonton. Nov 1st he was transferred to the air base in Claresholm, and Nov 30th he was sent to #3 wireless school in Winnipeg in Manitoba.**
"1941 – This year was busy right from the start, I had all the work I wanted all year long.
"**The fall of 1941 Rex and Chic moved to Mt. View, where he was principal. [Ruth tells us her brother announced in the spring his plan to marry. She says, "... they were married by the Bishop in his home May 14th. I could tell my parents were not happy with him not being married in the the Temple, but he seems very happy and I am happy to have another sister!
"The war is still going on in Europe where Germany has just passed a law that all Jews over 6 years of age, must wear a yellow star of David on their clothing.
"In September my brother Rex gets a new teaching assignment as Principal of the Mt. View School, ... [and] convinces me to come there to school, so each Monday through Friday I live with him and his wife and attend school. On the weekends I go home and spend time with my family. ..."] ** She became very close to this couple and spend much time with her sister-in-law during subsequent years as military duty and jobs moved them to other places. **
"The war is still going on in Europe where Germany has just passed a law that all Jews over 6 years of age, must wear a yellow star of David on their clothing.
"Jan 2, 1942 – **Mylo reported for army duty, because of his health he was assigned to clerical work at the main base post office in Ottawa, Ken was in Ottawa with the RCMP at this time, so they could attend church and visit regularly. The church was a small branch so Mylo had numerous invitations to dinner on Sunday.

"July 1942 – Ruth started work as a clerk at the Alberta treasury branch in Cardston.
"In July Mylo got his first two week leave and on the train home he and some other soldiers met two young ladies from Emerson, Manitoba. One was Kay Ring, the other Helena Maier. After his leave, he dated Helena and found she had a sister Matilda teaching school in Tolstoi, Manitoba. They were Lutheran, but Matilda was interested in other religions, so Helena suggested Mylo to write to her, and tell her about the Mormons.
"In the fall of 1942, Ken heard of a member of the RCMP that had served 9 years, and still could not get permission to marry, so Ken decided he did not want to wait that long to marry his June, so they set the date for May 12, 1943.
"Sept 1942 Duane was stationed in Mt. View, a little island on the shore of Lake Ontario. On his next 10 day pass he stopped in Calgary to see Verna Nielson, a girl he had dated in high school.
"Nov 1942 – The Rotary Club asked Ruth to be their queen candidate for the local charity fundraising ball. There were three candidates, and Ruth was chosen queen of the Mardi Gras. [To find a suitable dress, Chloe and Ruth took the train into Lethbridge to shop. They bought a blue chiffon formal, and a silver evening bag to match, and a silver chain for an antique watch Neil purchased for Chloe when he was in Europe in WWI, so she could wear it as a necklace. Her father was most pleased and contributed more than he ever had before to this worthy cause. He danced with her that night as he had done at other dances. It was a very special night for all.]
"Mar 1943 – Ken told Mylo he planned to marry on the 12th of May, so Mylo thought it would be nice if he could get leave for that time. As it turned out, his heart gave him problems after the army doctors checked him carefully, he was given a medical discharge and arrived home May 10th, Mother's Day.

It was the first successful underwater breathing apparatus.]

April 26 – With a force of almost 500 aircraft, Rex's unit bombed the Ruhr valley, with great success. April 27th they were called out again to strike the enemies communication system. Their target was 400 miles each way, located in eastern Belgium close to the German border. All bombers hit their targets but 15 aircraft failed to return and Rex's was one of them.

She continued teaching and he returned to Cardston to work and save for their wedding."
"In August Chloe came to Edmonton to visit Chick and stayed with Ruth a couple of nights. She is still mourning the loss of her son and is glad she doesn't have more sons overseas. ... In October [Chloe, Neil and Chick] received the official notice that Rex is dead, so there is now no hope of his return. Ruth went home for Christmas. Duane, Mylo and Garth and Bryce were all there. We all spent time with Scott and Gladys in their new home but it was a sad year for all of us.

"She was never idle, she enjoyed hand work—knitting, crocheting, tatting and quilting. She made temple clothing for several of her children.

"1949 – Joe Shaw, a plasterer and mason who had worked on many of my houses, had done real well in Cranbrook B.C. last summer and he wanted me to go with him this year and contract with him, but I was not interested. He went over early in the spring, then phoned for me to come and do the carpenter work for him.
"I had my motel running then and my wife thought she could run it, so I went over and made a deal with him. I came back and got Garth and we went over and started work. We had a room at a hotel and were eating at a café. We were eating dinner when we heard the men in the café talking about how fast that house was going up. The cook told them we were building it. By the time we had it closed in, we were the talk of the town, how fast two men had done it. We soon had a contract to build a frame house for a Mr. Johnston. We went over on his lot and built a small shack to live in. We then came home and got dishes, bedding, etc., and Garth's wife and Bryce, who was just out of school, and set up housekeeping.

He went to the temple for his endowments Jan 9th, and it was very special because Garth and Jean had their endowments and were sealed that same day. Dad was happy to support Bryce on his mission and was blessed in many ways for doing so. He arrived in Salt Lake from Cardston January 17th to stay with [Ruth and family] until he reports to the Mission home ... on Jan 22nd. He left for the mission field January 31st by train.

I told him my bill was $84 and he paid me.

CBS has found its foul-mouthed teacher for their upcoming Bad Teacher comedy pilot. Ari Graynor has signed on to star in the role originated by Cameron Diaz in the hit 2011 movie Bad Teacher. We first reported on the project back in October when CBS ordered the single-camera pilot.
Ari Graynor will play Meredith Davis, a crass and sexy divorcee who takes a job as a teacher to make ends meet. The plot will divert slightly from the movie, where Cameron Diaz's Elizabeth Halsey was already a teacher who was ready to leave her job and marry a rich man, before she is dumped and forced to go back to work. David Alan Grier also stars in the pilot as Meredith's boss, Principal Carl Gaines.
Community and Happy Endings writer Hilary Winston wrote the pilot script and will executive produce, alongside Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, the writing team behind the comedy feature.
Ari Graynor previously portrayed the sister of Anna Torv's Olivia Dunham on the Fox series Fringe. She has also starred in films such as What's Your Number?, The Sitter, Celeste and Jesse Forever, and For a Good Time, Call....

The name Picasso says it all as the restaurant serves up not only dishes inspired by the regional cuisine of France and Spain, where Picasso spent much of his life, but masterpieces by the renowned artist and a collection of his fascinating ceramic pieces.
The restaurant also boasts a wine cellar stocked with more than 1,500 selections from the finest European vineyards.
Le Cirque, on the other hand, offers a whimsical setting with a canvas of bright colors swirling about diners as they dine on exquisite French cuisine.
Also scooping up top honors is Wynn Las Vegas' ALEX, which was tapped by Mobil Travel Guide for its prestigious list. Named for internationally acclaimed executive chef Alessandro Stratta, ALEX offers refined contemporary French cuisine that's inspired by classic flavors and traditions of Provence and Nice. His 5-course tasting menu lets guests sample a bit of the best, from olive oil poached kanpachi to Japanese Wagyu strip loin. Changing seasonally, it's priced at $195 pp or $325 pp with the sommelier's wine pairing.
Another hit from the chef is Stratta with an enticing menu of rustic Italian-American favorites that is seasonal, ingredient-focused and approachable. Tastefully reflecting chef Stratta's creativity and mastery of Italian specialties, selections showcase a variety of fresh homemade pastas, wood-oven pizzas, and rustic entrees such as roasted pork chops and rib eye steak "pizzaiola" with wild mushrooms.
Reflecting Wynn's culinary standards, Encore has stirred in its own all-star team of chefs—each personally cooking in their respective kitchen nightly. Among these is Theo Schoenegger at Sinatra, where classic Italian cuisine is presented with a modern flair as Ol' Blue Eyes tunes fill the room with the entertainer's legendary charisma. Adorned with oversized portraits of Sinatra in his younger years—and the Oscar he won in 1953 for Best Supporting Actor in "From Here to Eternity"—the restaurant emphasizes chef Theo's seasonal approach to the country's signature flavors and dishes.
Meanwhile, at Restaurant Guy Savoy at Caesars Palace, Krug representatives have joined the acclaimed French chef to launch The Krug Room, a private dining retreat where those with big budgets ($750 pp with a minimum party of six!) can indulge in such decadent seasonal 6-course pairing menus as colors of caviar and crispy sea bass in delicate spices. These dishes are paired with various Krug vintages from 1985 through 1995, creating a perfect fusion of flavors.
Over at Palms Place Hotel & Spa, Simon Restaurant & Lounge is known for its inventive menu that focuses on quality organic ingredients and fresh seasonal items. Here, "Rock 'n Roll" chef Kerry Simon keeps it simple yet eclectic with everything from meatloaf and citrus braised short ribs, to sushi. Yet sticking to his mix-it-up mantra, the self-professed healthy eater also offers a "Junk Food Platter" that adds his signature spin to every decadent childhood dessert you can imagine.
palatable packages As high-profile dining accolades keep rolling in, the city touts its stellar dining roster with the same vigor as its shows. And with high-end accommodations seeing new lows in rates, now's the time for your clients to take a culinary journey through Vegas.

Choosing the appropriate paper or canvas is all about your personal preference. Sometimes, multiple papers work for the same image. The tone, weight and surface texture depends on the subject, the mood and how you, the artist, want it perceived. We offer many choices that are sparked by customer demands and staff preferences. Feel free to ask for suggestions from our staff when you are not sure. We can explain the benefits of each of our offerings and are always looking at new printing papers and canvas that can improve the experience for the artist and convey the message that was intended. We try to carry fine art papers that have no obtical brightner additives (OBA's). OBA's offer a brighter white, but will change over time. Our papers are all archival and of the finest quality.
Photo Matte – Lexjet
This is an economical fine-art and photo paper. Labeled as an 'economical choice' the paper has surprised us and become a favorite staff pick. It has rich blacks and a bright white base that brings photos to life. It has a smooth surface, acid free, ph-neutral and is archival. (Tier 1)
Weight: 280gsm I Thickness: 12 mil
Photo Satin – Lexjet
Similar to its matte brother above, this satin paper is sold as an economical fine-art and photo paper. We think it has a really nice quality weight and feel, but it's priced fairly economically. It sports rich blacks, and adds a subtle shine that adds distinctive depth to photos. It has a smooth surface, acid free, ph-neutral and is archival. (Tier 1)
Weight: 300gsm I Thickness: 11 mil
Photo Metallic – Lexjet
This is a really fun paper. The metallic finish adds a little something special but it's notoverpowering. The metallic, high-gloss surface photo paper give you prints that are sharp and vibrant. This is a great one paper for gifts or a print that you'd like to stand out. (Tier 2)
Weight: 255gsm I Thickness: 10 mil
Palo Duro Soft Gloss Rag – Red River
This is a relatively new paper to us. We chose it on our search for a paper that will match up to a traditional silver halide darkroom print. It really holds up to the hype as our intitial testing has amazed the entire crew. The only bad so far is that it is extremely fragile. The good is that it is a neutral white, heavy weight and feel, 100% cotton rag. The medium textured soft gloss surface truly looks amazing. (Tier 2)
Weight: 310gsm I Thickness: 16.5 mil
Aurora Natural Art – Red River
This paper is best for art reproduction and black white photography. The bright colors pop with art repro and b&w images can have a soft, lower contrast look. For color prints, this paper can get a muddy look in the shadows and middle tones so we recommend the Epson Hot Press Natural as a better option. (Tier 2)
Weight: 250gsm I Thickness: 13.5 mil
Aurora White Art – Red River
This paper is best for art reproduction and black white photography. The bright colors pop with art repro and b&w images can have a soft, lower contrast look. (Tier 2)
Weight: 250gsm I Thickness: 13.5 mil
Hot Press Natural – Epson
Everything looks good on this paper. It has a warm look that invites you into the image and is an outstanding choice for portraits. The ultra smooth surface works well with photography or art that has fine details that you want to stand out. The warm tone can add a nostalgic look to color or black and white photography. (Tier 2)
Weight: 300gsm I Thickness: 16 mil
Hot Press Bright White – Epson
This is similar to the natural version of this paper, with the base color being a brighter white. The ultra smooth surface works well with photography or art that has fine details that you want to stand out. The image pops with added contrast of this paper due to the "whiter" whites. (Tier 2)
Weight: 300gsm I Thickness: 16 mil
Speckletone – French Paper | Available in Starch White and Kraft
Ok, we'll admit - we are totally smitten with this paper company. That's why we offer so many French paper options. This Speckletone is a recycled paper that features flecks and shives - meaning it has little specks. French says they invented this paper to inspire, and let us tell you - we are inspired. French also says this paper has "rugged good looks" and we couldn't agree more. Let us know if you'd like a sample! (Tier 1)
Weight: 100 lb. cover I Thickness: 15 mil
Construction – French Paper | Available in Pure White (FPC1), Whitewash (FPC2), Grout Gray (FPC3), Cement Green (FPC4), Steel Blue (FPC5), Factory Green (FPC6), Fuse Green (FPC7), Safety Orange (FPC8), and Brick Red (FPC9).
We went crazy over this paper. It's a smooth, sturdy paper that makes a great foundation for 1, 2 or 3 color prints. We do have it in a couple of white tones, but we also offer it in several colors. We think these colored papers look awesome with black and white high-contrast photos, but the possibilities are endless. You can get really creative with this stuff. Just ask if you'd like to have a sample - once you see it you'll catch our excitement. (Tier 1)
Weight: 100 lb. cover I Thickness: 15 mil
Photo Rag – Hahnemuhle
We offer this paper due to reveiws that we have read and the positive vibe from photographers all over. We are so happy to offer such a snappy paper, it really handles contrasty images with ease. When you pick it up and see how the slight texture catches the light, you've got to put a smile on. RICH PAPER! (Tier 3)
Weight: 310gsm I Thickness: 0.5mm
Bamboo – Hahnemuhle
Another new natural paper to us, Tony is in love with it. We have been anxious to try such an eco friendly offering. We thought that there was no way that something good for the environment would perform so well. 90% bamboo fibres and 10% cotton, archival, wide color gamut, color gradation and image sharpness are on par with any paper that we have seen to date. The subtle texture feels smooth to the touch while the solids are strong and highlights are so creamy. Try something different, go with the bamboo. (Tier 3)
Weight: 290gsm I Thickness: .5mm
Velvet Rag – Lexjet
100 % cotton rag – A cross between German Etching and Somerset Velvet - etching texture with a soft subtle feel. We tried this with a client that works in water color for his latest art reproduction. He loves the reproduction of his art, colors "so vibrant". We used this paper with his pen and ink sketches and wow, it looks like the original. (Tier 2)
Weight: 300gsm I Thickness: 16 mil
Textured Fine Art – Lexjet
Cold pressed textured matte – A natural white paper that can add a painterly feel to photographs and give watercolor, pencil and pen and ink reproductions that "original" look and feel. We recently used it with a new client on his first reproduction work, he was so happy with the results. (Tier 2)
Weight: 310gsm I Thickness: 16 mil
German Etching – Hahnemuhle
This is a cellulose mold made paper that is chroline free. It is natural in color and gives a really nice warm tone to art and photography. It is one of the most popular papers for art reproduction. We have many clients that will print on nothing else. We have one photography client that fell in love with this paper years ago and won't consider another option. It resembles a traditional etching board and makes every print "frame worthy." (Tier 3)
Weight: 310gsm I Thickness: 0.50 mm
Matte Canvas
Matte Canvas is a poly/cotton blend with a bright-white finish. Archival and sharp sharp in the details. (Tier 3)
Weight: 400gsm I Thickness: 20 mil
Gloss Canvas – Inova
The consistent weave pattern of this canvas makes this a good choice for portraiture giving a smooth gradation when printing. This canvas prints as good and evenly as any satin paper on the market. It is a joy to work with. (Tier 3)
Weight: 380gsm I Thickness: 16 mil

Abiola's Love Class: No Online Dating Until You Read This!
Welcome to Love School. Class is in session! Abiola's Love School is a weekly empowered Love Lesson, inspirational class and juicy conversation about love, relationships, dating, sex, commitment and self worth. Each assignment will include homework, resources and actionable steps. Let's move beyond the surface to experience the true love and intimacy we deserve. Are you in?
"Forget the reasons it might not work and believe all the reasons why it will."
This is the final entry (for now) of our 3 part series on online dating.
- Part 1 Yes! Online Dating
- Part 2: Choosing a Site
- Part 3: Making Your Profile Shine
Love Lesson: "Online Dating Mistakes You Don't Want to Make"
If you think that online dating is just for needy and desperate people, you're still living in the dark ages. Cancel your dial-up and pay attention because investing time in your own love life has never been easier. In this comprehensive guide to online dating we wanted to make sure that you knew the ins, outs, ups and downs needed for your love journey. After all, your Mommy Noire Love Class is all about you being an empowered woman, loving herself and being an asset to the world.
Put simply, mama deserves to get the love she wants. This is not about committing a DWD, Dating While Desperate. This is about our BYOB, Be Your Own Bombshell movement!
In part one we talked about why you needed to be dating online as a single part seeking a relationship. In part two we broke down which sites were hits — and misses. Now it's time for the nitty gritty. You've chosen a site, now what?
1. Dating Site Overview
The same way that each nightclub is different, each online dating site has a different approach. No matter what, however, each site will require you to create a dating profile. Your profile is your face to the public in the world of online dating. Be clear that online dating is never a one-way street. You are not a weeping willow waiting to be chosen. You are being clear about who you are and what you want.
2. Choosing Your Photo
Men are visual creatures, and truth be told, so are we. You want to choose a photo that communicates exactly what you want it to. Remember, people only know what you present. You could be an amazing person but if you put up a crappy photo the man of your dreams might never know that you exist.
As a Passionate Living Coach, I always recommend that my clients to take pictures specifically for their dating profile. Please note that these headshots look nothing like the Sears portraits or class photos you took when you were a kid. This is also not your buttoned up LinkedIn business shot. If you're serious about your dating life, it makes sense to invest the time. If you're reading this, be honest with yourself that you want to be in a relationship. Go for it all the way!
5 Online Dating Photo Don'ts:
- Do NOT post any pictures with you and your children
- Do NOT only post photos of you and your pets
- Do NOT post pics with you and anyone else
- Do NOT post blurry or fuzzy images
- Do NOT sext half naked pics to strangers
5 Online Dating Photo Dos:
- DO take a gorgeous, natura head and shoulders shot.
- DO include head-to-toe shots
- DO wear a cute, red tank top
- DO let your best assets shine
- DO smile, smile, smile!
Bonus: 5 Online Dating Photo Musts:
Your photo MUST be current. You may think you look the same as you did 10 years ago, but others may beg to differ.
Your online photo MUST be an accurate portrayal of who you are. If you share pics of yourself dancing on the table and you'd rather read a book or vice versa, you're doing a bait and switch.
Your photo MUST show some skin. I'm talking arms, shoulders and collarbones, not a full-on Kardashian bikini selfie. Studies show that (shocker) women get more of a response when they're not all bundled up.
You MUST have more than one photo. Anyone can get it together and look cute for the Best Photo of Her Life. Your dates want to see what you look like from a variety of perspectives.
You MUST use photos unique to the site if you hope to be incognito. Google photo search can help any stranger pull up your Facebook page and website if you have a photo overlap.
3. A Rose By Any Other Name
When Will Shakespeare said that a rose by any other name still smells as sweet, he wasn't talking about online dating. Each dating site will ask you to select a unique profile name. In real life we can blame an "off" moniker on your overzealous parents. However, we know that "LikkinBerries69" is a name you chose all yourself.
Your online dating name can turn away your potential sweetheart before you have him at hello. Names like "MustFindLove" or anything with the word "Easy" in the title reek of desperation.
Choose a name that reflects your unique persona. Some people choose career-related names or names related to their favorite sport or city. Whatever you do, do not include your real name as a part of your online dating name. You want to pre-screen first for safety and practical reasons before anyone online knows who you are offline.
4. Breaking Down the Profile
The thought of filling out an in depth dating profile can be intimidating. Some sites like Chemistry.com and eHarmony have these profiles because those sites are looking to match people for long term, committed relationships. However, plenty of marriages are also made on BlackPeopleMeet.com, Match.com, Plenty of Fish and OKCupid as well.
If you're a geek like me, you're relish the chance to tell your life story in your profile. Don't. Studies show that most folks won't read all of it anyway. Just like in a bar, you want to be genuine, interesting, funny and thoughtful.
Keep it real with your answers. Make sure that your grammar and spelling are on point. Having fugly spelling mistakes in your profile is like being on a date with bad breath. Run a spell check on anything you post.
5. The Safety Question
Keep your wits about you. Just because you like some guy's photo doesn't mean that you ignore red flags. Avoid "Catfish" style scams by dating people only in your general vicinity. There is no need to enter into an online dialogue with someone in Italy, Alaska or Nigeria when there are men right in your backyard. Don't spend more than a week or three back and forth exchanges chatting on the site before you go offline to see if it's a match.
Use the phone. Set up FreeConferenceCall.com so that you don't have to give out your phone number. Chat by Skype to see if the person looks like their picture.
Do not have strangers pick you up from your home. Meet in a bright, well lit area and have your own transportation. Do not get into a car with "SexyDex46" no matter what he tells you. Phone apps like "Are They Really Single," "Been Verified" and "DateCheck" use people search tools to reveal if a man is married, has a record and what his personal contact information is. Use Google.
In other words, use the same common sense you use in the real world in the online world. Does this kill some of the romance and wonder? Maybe, but there is nothing romantic about being hoodwinked.
Also, watch the video below, "How to Avoid Online Dating Scams."
6. The First In-Person Date
You may opt to meet first for drinks to make sure that there's chemistry before being tied into a whole dinner. Tell a friend where you are going and who you will be there with. When you feel safe you can really be yourself.
Don't hide the fact that you have children. The man you're seeking will see this as an asset rather than a detriment. However, there's no need to whip out an album on the first date. Let him get to know you first. You also can leave discussions of your ex and how involved he is with you and your children until you get to know your date.
Have fun. Be your fun, flirty, cute self. You are not waiting for him to give you his approval. It's just a damn date, an opportunity to collect data to see if it's a match. Enjoy yourself and stop stressing. Everyone doesn't have to be "the one."
7. Oh — I never thought I'd have to tell an adult this but it came up the other day with a client:
NO Naked Skyping or Big Girl Panty Sexting with a dude you've never met on a dating site when you're hoping for a long term relationship.
Congrats on venturing out into the dating world again, gorgeous.
Keep reading as in the coming weeks we'll go deeper into how to make sure you get the love you deserve. In the meanwhile, don't be afraid to test the waters. You are worth loving!

Get the sparkling mouth of pearly whites you have always wanted with veneers. Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry procedure that can change the shape, color, and length of teeth. If you are unsatisfied with the appearance of your teeth and want long-lasting changes, contact University Dental in San Diego about getting veneers.
Veneers are thin tooth-like prosthetics that cover the front of teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are custom made to fit the teeth of the patient and are generally made of porcelain or resin composite materials. Veneers are an effective and efficient way to correct any aesthetic issues you may have with your teeth.
Book Your Free No Obligation Consultation Today!
Veneers can resolve a variety of different cosmetic issues with teeth, including the following problems:
No matter the cause of tooth discolorations or stains, a dental veneer can give your teeth a bright and uniform white appearance. Tooth discoloration can be the result of excessive fluoride, stains from drugs, a root canal treatment, or other causes.
Sometimes, accidents happen. If you get hit in the mouth, a tooth can develop a chip or break entirely. Also, over time teeth can get worn down and lose their distinct shape and structural integrity. If you have chipped, broken, or worn down teeth a veneer can normalize the shape and get rid of any imperfections.
If your teeth are misaligned so that they jut out at a strange angle, are irregularly shaped, or have a crater or bulge in them, a veneer can smooth out the surface of the teeth for a more beautiful look. Also, if your teeth tend to have gaps between them, a veneer can close the space between the teeth and get rid of the gaps.
Dental Veneers provide an abundance of advantages for people looking to correct issues they have with their teeth. Veneers provide a more natural tooth appearance, preventing self-esteem issues that can stem from an abnormal appearance. The porcelain used in veneers meshes very well with the gums and is stain resistant, making them a great long term solution. Finally, veneers are an easy option to make drastic changes to the appearance of your teeth. Veneers require much less shaping than crowns, yet provide a strong and attractive alternative.
If you want to improve the appearance of your teeth and smile, contact University Dental in San Diego for dental veneers. Our team will work to find the veneers that perfectly match the color and contouring of your teeth, providing a new look that will have you looking and feeling great. We have experience bonding veneers on all types of different teeth and mouth types, and you can rest assured knowing you are in good hands. If you are interested in learning more about veneers or want to make an appointment, contact University Dental today. Give us a call at (619) 473-2565.

(CNN) – Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour on Sunday argued Superstorm Sandy not only wreaked havoc on the Northeast this week, but blunted Mitt Romney's campaign as well.
"The hurricane is what broke Romney's momentum. I don't think there is any question about it," he said on CNN's "State of the Union."

Barbour, a Republican, said the barrage of news coverage surrounding the storm replaced the political debate in the final days leading up to the election. He added, however, he doesn't blame the media for covering the storm.
"Any day that the news media is not talking about jobs or the economy, taxes or spending, deficit and debt, Obamacare and energy, is a good day for Barack Obama," he continued, adding the news "blackout" on those issues has helped the president.
"Whether it will be good enough remains to be seen," he said.
Both candidates took a pause from campaigning at the beginning of the week, as the storm ravaged the U.S. East Coast. President Barack Obama monitored the storm from Washington, then traveled to New Jersey to survey the damage with Republican Gov. Chris Christie.
Romney, meanwhile, focused on relief events the day after the storm, raising money and donations for victims. He resumed campaigning on Wednesday, while Obama went back on the road Thursday.
As of Sunday morning, Superstorm Sandy is blamed for at least 111 deaths in the United States.
The second debate broke Romney's momentum. The third debate killed it. Sandy buried it.
Obama/Biden 2012
It's the people who perished in the storm that lost momentum and those who are still affected by the storm. The last I heard Romney and his family have water, food, shelter, 2 Cadillacs, money in the Caymen Island and Swiss bank accounts, etc.
It isn't thansgiving yet but the GOP [Turkey ] Barbour is already running away from civilization and the hatchet.
excuses, excuses....
Romney never really had any momentum, it was just a ploy by the right-wing to keep saying he did (yup, another lie), so the ignorant GOP voters would still come out and vote. The reality that Romney is going to lose by a landslide hasn't permeated the right-wing sphere of delusion yet, so the GOP has to keep the lie alive that Romney has a chance, or their voters will just stay home.
Further proof that Jesus is a Democrat.
The Cheap shots keep coming. That and a few bucks will buy you a cup of coffee. Romney is like a Bulldozer mowing down a hedge row. Obama is out of gas and running on empty. Keep those cheap shots coming. They are reflections of the Obmaa Presidency. Small talk.
How does Mitt Romney get away with laundering billions of unreported income in the Caymans through a bank owned by his church?
Wasn't it Barbour that gave amnesty to those skin heads serving time for murder?
I don't suppose it could have anything to do with...Romney himself?
that is a good news to Obama.
GOP tried hard to move/make the Sept. tragedy (Benghazi killing) to be Oct. surprise while it was not. The storm is the real Oct. surprise.
Do you GOPee'rs now believe in Global Warming?
– God
I want to know about the auto bail-out funds that to got into Anne Romney's hidden trust account
Romney momentum was artificial, as Obama did not challenge his lies at the first debate maintaining a dignified attitude. I believe that Obama thought that everybody knew about the lies on Medicare, the deficit, etc and that everybody knew that there were no real plans for the future, and that reminding people of the lies would be insulting their intelligence and/or memory.
But Anthony is right! The second and third debates stopped the artificial momentum and Sandy crushed it.
Sounds like he is jealous he is doing so well. Romney has not lost his momentum, he must not be paying attention haha
that is a good news for Obama.
Who cares what Haley Barbour says...
@ Isaac Smith
I agree with you
Storm disturbed the convention, Storm stop the momentum
On the other hand, Obama gained nothing from it...........as all he did was show up for photo ops, and then left the work, for others to do.
In the end, neither FEMA, nor the Federal Government, have any money to speak of, to help, as Obama has squandered so many trillions, we are on the precipice of insolvency, as a nation.
That means most of the recovery, has to be funded by insurance, charity, or debt.
Not much reason to give Obama any points, in that analysis.
Already making excuses...
Former Governor Romney is toast. He is just going through the motions before he shuffles off the stage. Let us all hope that this is the last we hear of him in the national limelight.
You guys are sad. I can't believe you want another 4 years like last 4. Just ask yourself what has Obama done that earned him another 4 years in office. I voted for him, and I regretted that mistake. I hope you guys won't have to suffer the same, and I hope Romney wins and close that miserable chapter in American history.

He made the remarks at his talks with General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and President of China Xi Jinping in Ha Noi yesterday.
He said the Chinese leader's State visit is of great significance as the two countries are celebrating the 65th founding anniversary of their diplomatic ties and the relations between the two Parties and countries are growing.
The visit demonstrates that the Chinese Party, Government and the Party and State leader have placed importance on cementing and promoting the friendship and connections with Viet Nam, he added.
Meanwhile, Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping wished the CPV would successfully organise the 12th National Party Congress in early 2016 and expressed his belief that under the CPV's leadership, Vietnamese people will achieve the set targets in socialism-building and doi moi (Renewal) for a strong, democratic, equal and civilised country with wealthy people.
At the talks, the two sides underscored the importance of consistently consolidating the traditional friendship between the two Parties and countries, agreeing that the solidarity and amity built and nurtured by late Presidents Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong and other ex-leaders are the precious shared asset of the two Parties, States and peoples and need to be preserved and promoted.
Both shared the need to firmly follow the orientations for the Viet Nam-China friendship, maintain high-level exchanges, reinforce political trust, increase co-operation across the Party, National Assembly, Fatherland Front, ministries, sector and local channels, boost trade and investment in an efficient, fair and healthy manner. They also both seek to broaden scientific, technological, educational, cultural and tourism co-operation, coordinate to implement land border management documents effectively, and work together to well-manage and satisfactorily address sea disputes without any effects on the stable and wealthy development of the bilateral relations.
For his part, General Secretary Trong proposed orientations to deepen bilateral ties, including maintaining visits and meetings between high-ranking officials with a view to strengthening political trust and discussing measures to elevate co-operation and solve both existing and emerging problems.
He suggested implementing exchange and cooperation programmes and mechanisms; and fostering collaboration between the Vietnamese and Chinese parliaments and Fatherland Front agencies.
Viet Nam and China should bring into play the role of the steering committee for bilateral co-operation in coordinating and expanding scopes of co-operation; enhance affiliation in critical areas like diplomacy, defence and security; step up people-to-people exchanges, especially between their youth and intellectuals; and increase communication on the time-tested friendship between the nations, he noted.
He asked for Viet Nam and China to strengthen multifaceted co-operation in a substantive, balanced and effective fashion. Their leaders need to steer their respective countries' sectors at all levels to seriously carry out reached agreements and common perceptions while actively employing measures to expand fields of mutually beneficiary co-operation.
The Vietnamese leader urged both sides to take practical measures promoting the stable, balanced and sustainable development of bilateral trade while bringing into play the role of the working groups on infrastructure and monetary co-operation in boosting co-operation in related fields to achieve practical outcomes.
They should encourage co-operation projects within the "two corridors, one belt" framework, which seeks to boost economic integration between southern China with northern Vietnam. They should also have content in line with the "one belt, one road" initiative, which seeks to integrate the old Silk Road with sea trade routes to Southeast Asia, on the basis of respecting each nation's legitimate interests, equality and mutual benefits, he added.
He welcomed the Chinese Government's transfer of a US$300 million concessional loan for the construction of the Mong Cai-Van Don highway project and its provision of another $250 million preferential loan for the Cat Linh-Ha Dong urban railway project in Viet Nam.
The Party chief also appreciated China's decision to provide 1 billion yuan (US$158 million) in aid for Viet Nam over the next five years for the building of social welfare facilities like schools and hospitals.
The two sides need to continue facilitating efforts by their local communities, especially ones near their shared border, in realising the countries' three agreements regarding the land border and bolstering effective and substantive exchanges and co-operation.
Party General Secretary Trong also called on the two countries to manage well their differences and maintain peace and stability in the East Sea, not letting the issue affect bilateral ties.
He suggested the two sides work closely to control the situation at sea, respect each other's legitimate benefits, seriously recognise common perceptions and agreements reached by their high-ranking Party leaders, maintain the status quo, and avoid actions that complicate the situation and enlarge the dispute.
The host proposed China together with Viet Nam become the pioneers in implementing the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) seriously and fully and soon finalise the Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC).
He called on the two sides not to pursue militarisation in the East Sea and build and strengthen strategic trust for the favourable implementation of agreed co-operation projects at sea.
The Vietnamese Party chief urged the two countries to implement negotiation mechanisms designed for maritime-related issues in an effective and pragmatic manner while actively seeking fundamental and long-term measures for the matters acceptable to both.
Viet Nam has shown a constructive attitude towards co-operation for mutual development at disputed waters in line with international law, especially the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982 UNCLOS), he said.
On this occasion, he invited General Secretary and President Xi Jinping to attend the APEC Summit, scheduled to be held in Viet Nam in 2017, and welcomed other Chinese leaders to visit Viet Nam in the near future.
For his part, Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping described friendship and co-operation as the mainstream of the ties between Viet Nam and China after saying the two shared common interests.
The Party and Government of China treasured the consolidation and development of the comprehensive strategic co-operative partnership with Viet Nam under the motto "friendly neighbours, comprehensive co-operation, long-term stability and future vision" and in the spirit of "good neighbours, good friends, good comrades and good partners".
The two sides should thoroughly grasp the sound development orientations of the Viet Nam-China relationship, he said.
The Chinese leader urged the two sides to increase political trust and step up dialogues and collaboration in foreign affairs, national defence and security and humanistic exchanges.
He also called for concerted efforts to boost win-win co-operation, mutual respect and friendly negotiations, put aside minor differences to seek common ground, and control disputes, thus bringing practical benefits to the two countries' peoples and contributing to peace, development and prosperity in the region.
The Chinese leader expressed his approval for major orientations and measures to promote the relations between the two Parties and States as proposed by Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
He said the two countries should actively study and connect development strategies and production capacity to contribute to fulfilling each side's development goals and boosting regional cooperation and connectivity.
China does not seek a trade surplus from Viet Nam and stands ready to propel a bilateral trade balance with its neighbour in an equal and sustainable manner, he promised.
China will encourage its businesses to forge trade cooperation and expand investments in Viet Nam while coordinating with the country to manage disputes at sea well and preserve the bilateral relationship as well as peace and stability in the East Sea, the guest noted.
The Chinese leader suggested the two sides tighten their coordination at multilateral mechanisms such as the UN, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Asia -Europe Meeting and China - the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
China and the ASEAN member countries will spare no effort to accelerate negotiations to build the COC, contributing to maintaining peace, prosperity and development in the region and the world at large.
China backs the formation of the ASEAN Community as well as Viet Nam's bid to host the APEC 2017, he affirmed.
General Secretary and President Xi accepted General Secretary Trong's invitation to attend the APEC 2017.
Following the talks, the two leaders witnessed the signing of a number of documents, including the plan on co-operation in training officials between the two Parties for 2016 to 2020, an agreement on free travel of ships at the mouth of the Bac Luan River and another on co-operation to protect and exploit tourism resources of the Ban Gioc Waterfall between the two Governments.
Positive growth
Yeterday, in his talks with China's Party General Secretary and President Xi, Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said the two countries' ties had grown positively, supported by regular visits by senior leaders and the adoption of many important common perceptions on how to deepen relations between the two Parties and the two countries in a stable and durable manner.
Exchanges and affiliations between ministries, localities and people from all walks of life had been strengthened, meaningful activities were organised to celebrate the 65th anniversary of Viet Nam-China diplomatic ties, and economic ties and trade continued to reaping encouraging rewards, he noted.
PM Dung spoke highly of common perceptions that clarified ways to develop relations between the two Parties and countries reached by the two Party General Secretaries during their earlier talks.
The PM suggested speeding up result-oriented co-operation, furthering the role of the Viet Nam-China co-operation steering committee to reach existing agreements, and developing trade sustainably to help Viet Nam trade its deficit, boost official trade and manage border trade more efficiently.
He asked the Chinese side to make it easier Vietnamese commodities to be sold in China, especially agro-forestry and aquatic products, as well as the opening of more trade promotion offices, in China.
He said he hoped Chinese investment in Viet Nam would rise sharply in the near future, especially in large-scale projects that apply advanced technology, asking the Chinese side to accelerate project implementation in accordance with agreements.
The two sides should also encourage the expansion of exchanges and collaboration between localities and create better conditions for relations exchange, co-operation and economic development on their shared border by facilitating customs clearance for people, cargo and vehicle movements and working closely to prevent cross-border smuggling and the trade of counterfeit and low-quality goods.
With regard to sea-related issues, the PM emphasised that the two sides needed to implement agreements reached by their leaders, particularly the agreement on the basic principles guiding the settlement of sea-related issues by making the best use of the Government-level negotiation mechanism on Viet Nam–China border and territorial matters and using negotiations to seek fundamental and long-term solutions that were acceptable to both sides.
The countries should maintain peace and stability and control disagreements at sea, be sincere and straightforward in discussing and studying the issue of demilitarisation in the East Sea, safeguard security and safety of navigation and aviation in the waters, and ensure safety for fishing activities at sea, he added.
PM Dung also called on Viet Nam and China to negotiate the demarcation of and co-operate for joint development in the area off the mouth of the Tonkin Gulf while fully and effectively carrying out the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea and promoting result-oriented negotiations to build a Code of Conduct in the waters.
For his part, Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping highlighted that his visit was intended to explore ways to intensify bilateral all-round co-operation.
He said that common perceptions and strategic visions put their relationship in a special position and that stable and healthy Chinese-Vietnamese relations met both countries and peoples' interests.
The Chinese leader suggested major orientations for bilateral ties, including fostering high-level meetings and strategic discussions, connecting economic development strategies, boosting production capacity and removing obstacles facing co-operation projects like the Thai Nguyen iron and steel factory and the Ninh Binh nitrogenous fertiliser factory.
He asked for intensified co-operation to solve the trade imbalance, reinforce monetary affiliation, and speed up trade liberalisation and bilateral investment.
They needed to control sea-related disputes soundly and maintain stability at sea through consultations, he noted, adding that China supported Viet Nam's greater role in regional and global processes, while urging for closer co-ordination at multilateral forums.
President Xi voiced his belief that with common goals and joint efforts, the Chinese-Vietnamese relations would flourish, ultimately benefiting the two peoples.
Patriots gather
On the occasion of Party General Secretary and President Xi's visit to Viet Nam, a meeting for Vietnamese and Chinese patriots was held in Ha Noi yesterday.
Addressing the function, President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations Vu Xuan Hong said he hoped that the union, the Chinese People's Association of Friendship with Foreign Countries and other friendship organisations in Viet Nam and China would contribute more to elevating the two countries' relations.
The six-day 16th Viet Nam – China Youth Friendship Meeting, held in Lang Son, Quang Ninh and Ha Noi, also started on Wednesday, striving to boost exchanges between young people from both countries. — VNS

This adventure wasn't at all planned—David just saw a crazy car, and the owner was cool enough to invite him out to the shop. Its owner, Steve Pasteiner—who also owns the shop on Woodward Avenue that hosts legendary car gatherings every Saturday—did the customization himself, so it should be a good time. In addition to the Jeep, Steve will be showing David around his custom-car design shop, Advanced Automotive Technologies.

Hammond 'waiting for an announcement' on BAE
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said the government is waiting for an announcement on the proposed BAE-EADS merger deal.
He told Reuters:
We are waiting for an announcement from the companies - the companies are dealing with it now.
They had a board meeting yesterday afternoon and evening. We are waiting to hear their announcement which I understand has to come today.
It is not for me to say who is doing what - it is the companies that now have the decision in their hands.
Defence minister 'waiting' for BAE announcement
The UK's defence minister said the government is still waiting for an announcement from BAE and EADS on their proposed merger, adding the decision is "in the companies' hands", Reuters reported.
BAE and EADS merger deal on a knife edge
Defence companies BAE Systems and EADS are fighting to keep their proposed merger alive the UK, German and French governments wrangle over the deal before a crucial deadline today.
BAE and EADS merger deal 'on a knife edge'
Talks between the two major defence companies continued into the night as they look to strike a deal.Read the full story ›
Government draws up list of 'red line' issues regarding BAE & EADS deal
The government has drawn up a list of so-called "red line" issues detailing national security concerns of the proposed deal between BAE Systems and EADS.
The deal would create the world's biggest aerospace company with a market value of more than £30 billion and 220,000 staff.
Experts have raised concerns over the political hurdles the mega-merger faces, given the sensitive nature of national security work handled by the two firms and with approval required from a number of governments worldwide.
The British Government has a so-called golden share in BAE that allows it to veto deals that are seen to put the public interest at risk and has already said it will seek to ensure UK interests are "properly protected".
MoD tells BAE that it must provide safeguards for Trident
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has told BAE Systems and proposed merger partner EADS they must provide safeguards over Britain's Trident nuclear weapons programme before the multi-billion-pound tie-up can go ahead, it was reported today.
Guarantees over Trident nuclear submarines - which are built by BAE at its yard in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria - are the top priority for the MoD and Department for Business, according to the Sunday Times.

The UW Acute Care Physical Therapy Residency is a 12-month, full-time residency program for licensed physical therapists interested in specializing in acute care physical therapy.
The goals of the residency program are to:
Residents do their clinical experience at the University of Washington Medical Center, named the best hospital in Washington state and one of the best hospitals in the nation for adult rehabilitation by U.S. News & World Report. You'll gain experience in four main clinical rotations: surgical, medical, cardiothoracic and oncology, and their respective intensive care units.
The University of Washington Acute Care Physical Therapy Residency Program is accredited by the American Physical Therapy Association as a postprofessional residency program for physical therapists in Acute Care.
The UW Acute Care Physical Therapy Residency program is anticipated to begin at the beginning of September of each year. Residents work a full-time schedule. You'll spend a minimum of 32 hours in clinical practice each week and receive 150 hours of one-on-one mentoring over the course of the year, allowing you to integrate newly acquired knowledge and skills into patient care. The remainder of your time is spent in didactic experiences, including didactic training from clinical faculty and structured independent study. You'll also assist with teaching beginner and advanced acute care physical therapy classes to UW Doctor of Physical Therapy students, gaining valuable experience teaching at the doctoral level.
The resident is a salaried position at the University of Washington. It includes medical and dental benefits, sick leave, two weeks of vacation and eight state-observed holidays. Tuition is $3,500 for the year.
There are three categories of residency faculty. Primary clinical faculty are responsible for providing clinical mentoring, including didactic and clinical education, during the resident's clinical rotations. Adjunct clinical faculty provide mentoring in a specific area of clinical practice, including didactic and clinical education in that area. Didactic faculty oversee and coordinate the curriculum and provide direct instruction to the resident.
The UW Acute Care Physical Therapy Residency program accepts one resident each spring.
To be eligible to apply, you must have a degree or certificate in physical therapy from an accredited physical therapy school. You also need to have an active Washington state physical therapy license or be eligible for one.

May Pastor's Paragraph
I recently read a wonderful article on the internet titled: "10 Traits of a Great Church Member," by Ron Edmondson (http://www.ronedmondson.com/). It was so good I wanted to share it with you.
Obviously, God builds the church, but He uses people to build it. What kind of members does God use to build a Great Church? As a pastor, I have noticed some trends among church people who help move the church forward. The following is a list of characteristics of those type of people. Not everyone will have every quality, but it's the combination of each of them in people that builds a great church.
Great church members:
1) Believe and love God's Word. Joshua 1:8 – "Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed."
Great church members let the Bible guide them and the church.
2) Grow in prayer. Ephesians 6:18 – "Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians everywhere."
Great church members pray more than worry.
3) Build on faith. Hebrews 10:38 – "And a righteous person will live by faith."
Great church members are willing to walk by faith as God leads, even through the most challenging times.
4) Put God's will first. Mark 3:35 – "Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."
Great church members put God's will ahead of every other agenda.
5) Enjoy meeting with God regularly.
Amos 4:12 – "Prepare to meet your God,"
Great church members look expectantly and often for opportunities to worship God and
experience Him with other believers.
6) Support the pastor and the church.
1 Corinthians 16:10‑11 – "When Timothy comes, treat him with respect. He is doing the Lord's work, just as I am. Don't let anyone despise him."
A pastor is always looking for someone to call friend. Great church members are that friend. The pastor isn't always right, but great church members look for ways to support more than complain.
7) Encourage others in the church.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 – "So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing."
Great church members are a part of the solution, not a part of the problem. They look for ways to help, invite their friends and neighbors, and volunteer without having their arms twisted.
8) Don't think everything is about them!
Matthew 16:24 – "Then Jesus said to the disciples, 'If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me."
Did you know everything may not go your way? Great church members are willing to allow
the best to be done for the church even when it sometimes goes against their personal desires.
9) Think outside the walls of the church.
Acts 1:8 – "But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power and will tell people about me everywhere‑‑in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. "
If we are not careful, our churches could be hard to tell apart from a Country Club. Great
church members think of those not yet in a church…and support the church in reaching them.
10) Maintain a friendly church.
2 John 6 – "Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning."
Great church members make sure guests never stand around long with no one to talk to. They are welcoming and friendly to everyone, with or without a title to do so.
I'm so thankful to be in a church with so many who make this list easy to write. What would you add to this list?
Trusting that we all want SCPC to be a Great Church, I invite you to make it that way by becoming a Great Member. In Christ, Doug

Synopsis ~
Write-up from Amazon.com ~
For the first time, the Grand Dame of science fiction—Andre Norton—has her short stories gathered for her fans' reading pleasure. Tales reach back to the 1930s, as fresh and relevant today as they were when she wrote them . . . such was Andre's skill. High fantasy, fables, science fiction, coming of age stories, and more fill three volumes. This impressive, must-have collection includes stories of Witch World. There are cats sprinkled here and there, as Andre treasured them so. And there is magic in the writing, unequaled prose to delight readers of all ages.
High Hallack was a place in Andre's fiction, and was also the name of her genre writer's library she opened in Tennessee. It is a wondrous keep that she called home, and now High Hallack opens its gates and allows these amazing stories to tumble out.
Lose yourself in her enchanted words, and read them again and again.
Excerpt from introduction by Jody Lyn Nye; vol. 1 ~
To find a woman writing science fiction with such skill and style was a joy. Her heroines never waited limply for someone to save them. She could have coined the term "self-rescuing princess." Just reading her work taught me a great deal about my chosen craft.
Norton blazed a trail that I followed humbly. To this day, every time I read something of hers, I learn something new. I am as freshly impressed and surprised as was that girl in her high school library long ago.
If this is your first experience with Andre Norton, you're in for a treat. Her short fiction appeared in magazines, many of which have long crumbled to yellowed fragments, (damn that acid-treated paper!), or in out-of-print anthologies. Jean Rabe and Sue Stewart have put together these collections so Norton-lovers have those lost pieces all together at their fingertips.
Enjoy them! I certainly will.
