Railway Mutton Curry
The Railway Mutton Curry is a legacy from the food cooked aboard the Indian Railways during British raj. The dishes served in the dining cars of indian railways in those times were a blend of Anglo-Indian, Bengali and South Indian, cooked to perfection. There are a few different recipes for this Railway Mutton Curry. The one I have shared here has more Bengali touch than the South-Indian version.
My first train journey, or rather the one that I can recall, because there must have been many before that, is of an over crowded Darjeeling Express or maybe Tinshukia Mail. I think it was the Darjeeling Express because if I remember correct only my Mother and I were traveling, to Dida' house in Kolkata during a winter vacation.
Ma's friend from the neighborhood P-pishi was also traveling the same day on the same train. The train was packed as I remember and faint conversations of something about a natok er dol--a drama company troupe occupying our seats in a second class compartment bubbles through memory. Those were polite times and I think my Ma and P-pishi agreed to share their reserved seats with the folks from the troupe who had last minute bookings and not enough reservations. I was all of five or maybe six and went off to sleep curled up in whatever little space we had.
And then my memory gets stronger and there is a loud voice that says "Malda eshe geche. Malda. Seddho dim khabi na ?" (We have reached Malda Station. Malda. Don't you want a boiled egg?)
I am sure there was a past history of my eating and loving the warm to touch boiled egg at Malda Station for my Mother to have woken me from a slumber in a crowded train to offer those. Those freshly boiled eggs, sliced along the length and sprinkled with coarse white salt and crushed black pepper were proffered through the iron grills of the train window by the Dimwala on the platform. I scarfed down two of them and went back to sleep. And yet again the very mention of the everyday boiled eggs brings to my mind Malda Station and I have a strong belief that no egg ever tasted that good.
Just like an omelet brings to mind the double dim er omelet or double egg omelet at the Railway canteen in Patna Junction. Once you pushed aside those swing doors, the Railway Canteen was a place with white napkins and waiters in stiff starched uniform very unlike the crowded and loud station just outside. Every year on our annual journey it was a ritual to have a plate of kadak toast with Amul butter and double dim er omelet at the canteen. I still remember that how I would be disappointed by the omelet every year, because though it was made with two eggs, it wasn't a thick omelet but a large thin one which filled the entire size of a dinner plate.And yet every year without fail I would order the same at the Railway canteen.
Next was an older me, maybe a 10 year old, a first class coupe with sliding doors and a corridor outside. I loved the first class coupe, way more than the A/C coaches we traveled in later. The coupe gave you the privacy and the wind blowing on your face through the wide open windows, one of the main reasons I loved train journeys.
The evening we boarded the train, a three stack high stainless steel tiffin carrier carried our dinner. Soon after the train had pulled out, Ma would spread newspapers on the rexine covered berths and open the latches of the tiffin carrier to reveal steel containers filled with luchi, sada alu chorchori and sondesh. But more than that I looked forward to the next day's lunch, the one we could not carry from home and had to order from the railway catering service. I would always order a chicken curry and rice, Baba would do the same and Ma would order a Veg meal. Dining cars were phased out by then and the catering service loaded trays of cooked food from designated stations. Lunch would arrive in those steel rectangular plates with compartments-- rice, pickle, a watery dal and a chicken curry with a thin layer of oil floating on a scarlet colored gravy which would inevitably have spilled onto the dal with the motion of the train. It was not an extraordinary curry and I clearly don't recall its taste.
But the experience of food in a train with the wind rustling through the open windows, the green paddy fields stretched towards the horizon, the little village boys standing by the railway lines waving their scrawny limbs to the marching beat of the iron wheels is something that makes it exemplary merely by situation.
Like the dim-seddho and the chicken curry, I am sure for many of my generation growing up in India, Food and railway journeys are closely intertwined. JhaalMuri at Kharagpur, Guavas with pink insides at Allahabad, Medu Vadas on the southern line, Puri Sabzi at Moghalsarai, Mihidana at Bardhaman -- we all have our train food favorites.
So when I first saw this recipe of Railway Mutton Curry shared by Pritha Sen at Atul Sikand's page Sikandulous Cuisne, I knew I had to try it, if only because of its name. Pritha Sen, from Gurgaon has immense knowledge about history of Indian food and her narrative on this curry made it all the more interesting. Her story about origin of this dish dates further back, when South eastern railway was called BNR and trains came with salons and dining cars.
With her permission, I am reproducing part of her article in her own words:
"Many a classic dish has been born out of necessity, culture, lifestyle, ethnicity and the ingredients available locally. Many of them are a testimony of the times. There are certain tastes that linger and many years later surface in our urban kitchens as a salute to those chefs whose ingenuity created them in the first place. So we got our seekh kebabs from the marauding Mongols who fanned out from Central Asia across the world, spreading their seed as well as their cuisine. Their spears served as the seekhs to roast pieces of meat over the campfire in the evenings. Then there are the now famous stories about Dum Pukht cuisine or the Mongolian hot pot and in more recent times, Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Butter Masala or American Chopsuey and Chicken/Gobi Manchurian!
One such form of cuisine was that which was developed by the entourage of cooks and bearers who travelled with officers serving in the administrative, forest and railway services in India in colonial times. They cooked with whatever they carried with them or was locally available at their place of halt, flavouring the dishes with a blend of sleight of hand, what the Memsahib had taught them and dollops of ethnicity. And thus was born dishes like the Railway Mutton or Chicken Curry, the Railway Aloo curry with triangular Atta Parathas, Dak Bungalow Mutton Curry, Madras Club Qorma, Dak Bungalow Roast Chicken, the Rose Custard and of course Bread Puddings and Caramel Custard.
I was fortunate enough to have grown up in this legacy of the Raj, as a child of the Railways, when there were dining cars on trains, complete with tables for four covered with white damask and set with proper crockery and silver. Think back to that scene in Satyajit Ray's 'Nayak' where Sharmila Tagore starts her interview with Uttam Kumar. Liveried waiters padded about silently, serving known railway delicacies of those times – fish fry with tartar sauce, mutton breast cutlets on the bone, perfectly fried finger chips with tomato sauce, finely cut chicken sandwiches, chicken and tomato soups, mulligatawny soups and side dishes of roast chicken and boiled vegetables or mutton stew with bread, or chicken/mutton curry rice. The menu was limited but delicious.
When my father went on tour, which was referred to as 'going on Line' the phrase originating from 'line inspection', Naresh, our old peon, a relic of the Raj himself, packed his Line Box or Line Peti as he called it. A Line Box was a 2ft by 3ft rectangular wooden box, which had a tray with partitions on top of the main unit. The bottom was packed with rice, flour, dal, spices etc. The top tray held potatoes, onions, garlic, ginger in neat compartments. Naresh then loaded it onto Baba's saloon, an entire railway coach converted to house a sitting-cum-dining room, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, pantry and staff quarters. Naresh travelled with him along with an assistant, cooking Baba fresh meals as he travelled for days from one railway junction to another.
We, as a family, also travelled with him at times living in the saloon and eating and sleeping as the steam engine chugged across India, spewing vicious black fumes. No worries. We children were well ensconced in our fairy tale moving home, revelling in wondrous delight at the shining stainless steel hand showers in the bathrooms which we had never seen before and kitchens fitted with tall coal ovens to roast the chicken to a turn and bake the perfect dessert.
The railway cuisine as I realise today was generously tempered with a South Indian flavour. The reason being that during my childhood or perhaps before that much of the Class IV railway staff were South Indians, mainly Telugus from Andhra Pradesh. The engine drivers and ticket collectors or station masters were Anglo-Indians, the last of the community left in Railway service before they all emigrated to Australia. So the dishes we were served were a blend of Anglo-Indian, Bengali and South Indian, cooked to perfection.
I leave you with one such dish which today rightly occupies pride of place on many restaurant menus that serve Anglo-Indian or Raj cuisine. I promise to come back with more."
Pritha Di shared two recipes of this mutton curry. The first one was courtesy Jennifer Brennan and apparently the more authentic one and had Curry leaves and Coconut Milk. I selected the second one which was more Bengali than South Indian.This was from Bengal in later times: Courtesy Basav Mukherjee. I adapted the recipe making small changes but sticking to the core of the wonderful masala paste that lends the curry its special flavor. Don't get intimidated by the length of the post or ingredient list. All of them can be found in your kitchen pantry and if you follow the steps, it takes no longer than a regular mutton curry.

How I Did It
Preparation :
Marinate mutton overnight with
2 tsp ginger paste,
2tsp garlic paste,
2 tsp mustard oil,
1 tsp vinegar,
2 tsp Kashmiri Mirch
and Turmeric powder
Make the Special Masala paste:
Heat a small pan or kadhai.
Add the
coriander seeds,
cumin seeds,
fennel seeds,
dried red chillies,
peppercorns and roast till fragrant.
Once roasted, add the above spices to a blender along with
8 big cloves of garlic
2 inch of ginger, roughly chopped
2 tsp of Kashmiri red chilli powder
1 tbsp Mustard Oil
Make a fine paste adding splash of water if necessary. Add 1/2 tsp sugar to the paste. The paste is where the magic lies.
Start Cooking :
In a pressure cooker or a fry pan, add 3 tablespoons of mustard oil.
Heat the oil till its smoking. Fry the potatoes in the oil. Once the potatoes turn golden yellow with brown spots, remove and keep aside
Now, reduce the flame and add the whole garam masala
2 Black cardamom,
6 green cardamom,
2" stick of cinnamon,
8 clove,
4 bay leaves,
3 strands of javetri,
8 dry red chilli
Once you get the fragrance of the whole spices add
1 tbsp garlic paste
1 tbsp ginger paste.
Fry them for about a minute.
Now add the sliced onion and fry with a sprinkle of salt. Fry the onion, stirring constantly, till they get browned and caramelized.
Next goes in the pureed tomatoes which needs to be fried for 3-4 minutes till raw smell is gone.
Next add the mutton pieces to this.Increase the flame to high and fry the mutton pieces in high heat till mutton loses its raw color. The mutton will sear and turn a light brown
Reduce the flame a bit and let the mutton release its juices.
At medium heat, continue to saute or kashao the mutton till you see a layer of oil floating. Stir continuously. This takes a good 20-25 minutes
Now add the Special Masala that you have prepared and mix it with the meat. Fry everything together for next 5-7 minutes.
Add back the potatoes to the mix and reduce flame to low.
Add about 1.5 cups of water. Add salt to taste. I added water though the original recipe did not ask for it.
Bring the gravy to a boil and then close the pressure cooker lid.Reduce the flame to the lowest and pressure cook the curry for 15 minutes. Towards the end of 15 mins, increase the heat and cook for 8 minutes at full pressure
Once you can open the cooker lid, break 3-4 green chillies and add to the curry for an awesome flavor
Also add one tsp of garam masala powder and stir.
Close the cooker lid again and let this rest for about an hour. Serve with steaming white rice.

The Forsyth County Department of Animal Control will be canvassing neighborhoods conducting a survey of licensed and vaccinated pets. The canvassers will be providing resource information to enable pet owners to gain compliance with registering their pets and maintain current rabies vaccinations.
Because so many people live close to wildlife, it is important to keep dogs and cats vaccinated against rabies. Vaccinated pets act as a buffer between people and wild animals. Avoid any physical contact with unfamiliar dogs and cats. Make sure your own pets have up-to-date rabies vaccinations, If your pet comes in contact with a wild animal, or if you are bitten by someone's pet, get the owners name, address, and telephone number, and contact the Animal Control Department at 336-703-2490 immediately.
The licensing ordinance establishes that all dogs and cats maintained within Forsyth County are required to be licensed after residing in the County for 60 days. The license is valid for 12 months. The fee schedule is:
Dogs | Cats | |
Spayed/Neuterred | $5.00 | $5.00 |
Unaltered | $25.00 | $25.00 |
All dog and cats are required to be licensed, but there are some exemptions from the fee requirements. The fee may be waived for the first year a pet is registered as spayed or neutered. Hunting dogs and show animals may receive a reduced $5.00 fee for the license. Fees may be waived for handicap assistance dogs, provided the dog is sterilized, animals that are working members of public safety agencies and an animal in the care of a non-profit animal welfare organization as long as sterilization is a requirement of the organization before adoption.
There will be a low cost rabies vaccination clinic sponsored by the Forsyth County Rabies Prevention Committee held in the Cattle Barn at the Dixie Classic Fairground in Winston-Salem on Saturday, April 20th, between the hours of 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. The cost for the vaccination is $5.00 for each pet. Three-(3) year rabies vaccinations will be given to pets with written proof of a prior rabies vaccination. All others will be given a 1 year rabies vaccine.
If you have questions, please contact the Forsyth County Animal Control Department 336-703-2480.

You've heard the expression Bright Lights, Big City. For many people, city living can mean long hours at work and play and never enough sleep. Now a new study suggests that cities can have a very similar effect on another group of residents: birds. NPR's Rhitu Chatterjee reports.
RHITU CHATTERJEE, BYLINE: Since the 1930s, scientists have noticed that birds in cities, like robins and starlings, can keep different hours than their relatives in forests. Barbara Helm is a biologist at the University of Glasgow.
BARBARA HELM: If you walk through a forest at, say, 4:00 in the morning , it would be just dead quiet. And if you walked through the city, you would just already hear all these birds singing.
CHATTERJEE: But she says no one knew whether all this pre-dawn singing reflected a permanent change in the daily rhythms of urban birds. And that's what Helm and her colleagues decided to investigate in their study on one species: the European blackbird.
HELM: They used to be a relatively shy forest bird until about a couple hundred years ago. And now they're like a totally ubiquitous city bird. And they even in the inner business districts of cities.
CHATTERJEE: Including cities like Munich, where she and her team conducted the study. They compared the city birds with those living in a nearby forest.
HELM: This was a forest some 20 miles outside Munich.
CHATTERJEE: Helm's colleague, Davide Dominoni, is at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology. He went out and captured six birds each in the city and in the forest. And on each bird he attached a tiny radio.
DAVIDE DOMINONI: That is just a simple radio, which gives an impulse, a radio impulse every three seconds; it's like a doo, doo, doo.
CHATTERJEE: Any changes in the strength of that signal meant that the bird was moving. An unchanged signal meant that the bird was sitting still, or asleep. So by looking at the signals around dawn and nightfall, Dominoni figured out when the birds woke up and when they went to bed. It turns out that the forest birds woke up at the crack of dawn. But their city cousins were up well before.
DOMINONI: The birds in the city of Munich, they were waking up approximately half an hour earlier than the birds in the rural forest.
CHATTERJEE: And they went to bed a good six minutes later. So in all these city birds also slept about 40 minutes less each day. And when the scientists brought back 14 city and 14 forest birds to their lab and kept them all under the same conditions, the city birds still woke up earlier, suggesting that their body clocks had become programmed to run at a faster pace.
The results of the study were published in the latest Proceedings of the Royal Society. Biologist Steve Nowicki of Duke University says this is probably a common phenomenon.
STEVE NOWICKI: I bet that what's happening to blackbirds is happening to every species that is exposed to, you know, urban disruption.
CHATTERJEE: The urban disruption, he says, is probably city lights, which mess with the body's sense of day and night. Because light controls how our and other animals' bodies calculate day length. And...
NOWICKI: Birds in particular are extremely attuned to day length.
CHATTERJEE: Nowicki says in humans bright city lights change body clocks and disrupt sleep patterns which in the long run can affect our health. But whether there are negative impacts on urban animals, that's hard to tell, he says. Blackbirds seem to thrive in cities. But other species, he says, may find it harder to handle the faster urban clocks. Rhitu Chatterjee, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

We do this most every year around this time at VodkaPundit. This year should be no different.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew our of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

DreamCloud uses cashmere for cover. This material is known as among the softest and most luxurious in the world, owing to its extreme softness, costly production process, and scarcity. In case you don't know, cashmere is taken from goats that come from select regions. This means that every year just 6,500 metric tons of pure Cashmere are produced. If we compare this with the 2 million metric tons of sheep's wool, it is possible to conclude to the terrific added value of DreamCloud mattresses.

Is DreamCloud Good For Back Pain?
According to the National Institutes of Health, back pain is among the most common health issues of our Society. It's estimated that 8 out of 10 Americans suffer from occasional or chronic back pain problems. If you are one of those people who suffer from back problems, you will be wondering if your mattress may be the cause.
The response of sleep experts to this question is complete: the mattress you choose is decisive when it comes to relieving your back-pain issue . Though most experts do not recommend a particular brand, they recommend that the back-pain sufferers follow some general tips.
If you have a pain in the back, you should buy the firmest mattress you can find, right? Not so fast winner! Although that used to be the frequent sense, there is in fact no solid research that affirms it.
Experts in Spine-Health indicate it is extremely important to balance back pain relief with relaxation. You may pick a mattress that is hard, you can feel a little relief in the back pain for some time, but you may suffer from joint pain or pressure. The experts also suggest that a mattress that is medium-firm term could be the best choice to find that balance.
Dreamcloud is a mattress that is worth trying. In actuality, there are many people who've already tried it and state that the DreamCloud has helped them a lot to relieve their back pain:
Obviously, there are other causes which produce back pain, besides an inadequate mattress. The National Institutes of Health offers an exceptional article explaining the causes of back pain and guidelines for treatment and prevention. These suggestions, along with the ideal mattress, can help you reside in a pain-free manner.
A lot of customer testimonials mention DreamCloud's ability to relieve back, hip and neck pain. As a result of its pressure-relieving construction, the mattress is highly known for its health benefits and ability to support the body while sleeping:

If you still have doubts regarding the DreamCloud mattress, you can check out the 4,8 Star testimonials made by people that have ordered, analyzed and are enjoying this mattress. Here are some:
pain free thanks to a friend who recommended DreamCloud about 24 hours ago I was never a big believer in mattresses and felt like sleep was sleep. Well my friend told me about DreamCloud and it turned out that my old mattress was sagging and needed to be replaced anyways. I decided to try DreamCloud and have slept better each night than the one before. I have no aches or stiffness when I wake up. I would say about half of the nights before DreamCloud I woke up in pain. Now I've had no nights. And it's great that there is an Everlong Warranty so I won't need to replace my DreamCloud. Harold F. |
So happy with this purchase 2 days ago My husband was always complaining about back problems, so I thought maybe a new mattress was the solution to our bedtime woes. As usual, I was right. DreamCloud has made all the difference in our sleeping lives, and it's all thanks to its lush and rich memory foam. Sure, there may be other mattresses that are comfortable, but DreamCloud is the first one that I've ever had that felt totally supportive AND completely luxuriant. It's funny, but it really is like sleeping on a cloud. Now my only problem is getting my husband out of bed in the morning! So happy with this purchase. I highly recommend to anyone looking for the same reasons. Dana G. |
Supports my back and helps me recover fast from working night shifts 3 days ago As a nurse, I am on my feet up to 20 hours a day. Sometimes I work the nightshift, which can throw off my sleep for days. I know the importance of good sleep and investing in a good mattress. I really did my research when it came to DreamCloud. I wanted to make sure it was the best bed for me. It seemed like it would be, and it has such a good warranty so I thought why not try it. I don't regret it. Every night it supports my spine in a way that feels like it's not just supporting, but wrapping my back in cozy and comfortable foam. When anyone at the hospital asks about beds, I would recommend it to the other doctors in the hospital and the patients who seek healthy sleep. Patricia M. |
Never thought i could afford such a luxury mattress 5 days ago Not only was it thousands of dollars less than other luxury mattresses we looked at (I was ready to spend 8 thousand dollars on a mattress I was really desperate for something to help my back pain) but the financing plan we signed up for is great. Good sleep should be accessible to people who have pain (I never thought I was going to walk without pain) and DreamCloud not only brings good sleep, it took away all my pain too. Thanks DreamCloud! Laurie M. |
hard to remember a time before dreamcloud 5 days ago Hard to remember a time before DreamCloud lulled me into a restful night sleep each night. DreamCloud gives my hips the perfect amount of comfort which as a side sleeper all my life I've struggled with. Not only is each night a dream, but feeling like I can wake up and go on a run again is truly the biggest dream of all. Adam G. |

3 Reasons your Home isn't Selling
A home languishing on the real estate market is one of life's more frustrating ordeals. Especially if you've owned the home for some time, there's that emotional attachment that tells you, "Hey, this is an incredible house. It should sell really fast!"
If you're under contract on another home or if you need to relocate there is also the need for speed.
There is no reason, at least not in the current market, that a home in good condition and in a desirable area shouldn't sell. Homebuyers are clamoring for these homes.
There are several common reasons that homes don't sell and one of these may just be the solution to your problem.
1. The home is overpriced
The most common reason a home sits on the market is because it's overpriced. Asking too much for the home could be a result of you ignoring your real estate agent's pricing advice, an error on the part of your real estate agent or because the market corrected and your agent didn't notice.
Regardless of the reason why, you'll need to drop your price, as soon as possible, to renew interest in it and get it sold.
In a nutshell, homes sell for what buyers are willing to pay, not what sellers hope to get. The only way to know what a buyer is willing to pay for a home like yours is to check the sale prices (not the asking price of active listings) of homes similar to yours.
If it's less than what you're currently asking, I urge you to drop the price. The price reduction may just be the key to getting more buyers through the front door and, thus, to the home selling.
2. Your home needs work
We've noticed that the homes that sell the fastest are priced right and they're in good condition. What do I mean by "good?" They have curb appeal – the exterior reflects pride of ownership, not necessarily opulence. The trim is painted, the siding is in good condition and the landscaping is tidy.
Inside, the paint is fresh, the carpets clean and the house is neat. The buyer has the impression that he or she can move right in and not have to work to make the home livable.
Because we tend to be "married" to our homes and don't notice their flaws, the ideal way to get feedback on its condition is for your agent to solicit it from the buyers' agents who've brought their clients to the home.
If your agent isn't doing this, he or she is doing you a disservice. Ask your agent to do the follow-up – you are, after all, paying him or her. Which leads us to reason number 3 that your home isn't selling.
3. You have a lousy real estate agent
Your real estate agent's primary job is to market your home. If it's priced right and in good condition, the next biggest reason it's not selling is because you have an agent who is failing at the marketing game.
Get together with your agent and find out what is being done to market the home. If the only marketing that's been done is a sign in the front yard and an MLS listing and, perhaps, a blurb on the freebie websites, consider finding another agent.
It's a lesson many homeowners learn the hard way: Never hire an agent that doesn't consistently make enough money to offer a powerful marketing plan. It's the essence of what you're paying for and you should demand the service you deserve.
If you follow numbers one and two, above, and you are convinced your agent is doing a stellar job, ask yourself if you're flexible enough in showing the home.
We know from our own listing clients that the worst part of selling the home is having to keep it in model-home condition despite life continuing to happen – kids, pets, guests and all of that.
Buyers work too, and often the only time they have to look at homes is in the evening or on weekends. Accommodating last-minute requests to see the home earns bonus points (at least with us!) and gets you even closer to selling the home.
Even in the hottest sellers' markets there are slow periods, so if you've done all you can to ensure that your home is competitive, relax and give it more time.

Diabetic Retinopathy
A Serious Complication of Diabetes That Can Lead to Blindness
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one-third of adults over the age of 40 with diabetes have diabetic retinopathy. And the rates are even higher among African- and Mexican-Americans.
What Is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes that affects your eyes. It is the number one cause of vision loss in diabetic patients.
Diabetic retinopathy is caused by damage to the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina). This causes bleeding, swelling, and abnormal blood vessel growth. The longer you have diabetes and the less controlled your blood sugar is, the more likely you are to develop this eye condition.
What Are The Symptons of Diabetic Retinopathy?
Like many other eye conditions, diabetic retinopathy often causes few (if any) symptoms in the early stages. You may only notice minor vision issues that could be attributed to other causes. Left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can lead to blindness.
Due to the fact that anyone who has type 1 or type 2 diabetes can develop diabetic retinopathy, it's important to have regular comprehensive eye exams.
The disease typically affects both eyes. As it gets worse, you may notice symptoms such as:
- Empty or dark areas within your line of vision
- Fluctuating vision
- Dark strings and/or spots (i.e. floaters) in your vision
- Loss of vision
- Reduction in color vision
Management of your diabetes under the care of a medical professional — with a treatment plan that includes regular visits to the eye doctor — is the best way to prevent loss of vision.
Even if you are seeing your eye doctor on a yearly basis as recommended, if you notice the sudden appearance of the symptoms noted above, make an appointment right away.
What Complications Arise From Diabetic Retinopathy?
Because diabetic retinopathy causes the retina's blood vessels to bleed and grow abnormally, vision problems are common. You could experience one or more of the following complications:
Vitreous hemorrhage
The centers of your eyes are filled with a jelly-like substance that's clear. Blood vessels formed by diabetic retinopathy could leak into this vitreous jelly and cause floaters or even block your vision completely.
Retinal detachment
The presence of abnormal blood vessels encourages the growth of scar tissue in the retina. This could pull the retina away from its position at the back of your eye. Common symptoms of a retinal detachment include flashes of light, severe loss of vision and/or spots floating in your vision.
If the abnormal blood vessels that mark the presence of diabetic retinopathy grow into your eye's front area, they could block the normal flow of fluid from your eye. The result could be glaucoma which is an increase in the eye's pressure. You might experience damage to the optic nerve if it's left untreated.
Over time, diabetic retinopathy, or its complications, could cause you to completely lose your ability to see.

Understanding Declination
Topographic maps are drawn to true north (North Pole), which is indicated by the grid lines on the map. However, a compass will always point to magnetic north, which is in the Hudson Bay area. The difference between true north and magnetic north is called "declination."
- When true north and magnetic north are aligned, you're at zero degrees declination. Your compass needle will point to true north. However, if you're east or west of zero degrees declination, your compass will not be in line with true north.
- To compensate for declination:
- Center the north arrow (the N) of the compass dial along a north/south line of the map.
- Check the diagram at the bottom of the map that shows whether magnetic north is to the left or right of true north.
- Turn the compass dial the correct number of degrees left or right as indicated on the map. The N is now pointing at magnetic north.
- Hold the compass level in front of you and rotate your body until the tip of the compass needle aligns with the N on the compass dial. The direction arrow on the base plate now points in the direction you want to go.

Surety bonds are a useful service, but not the same thing as professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance. You may need both surety bonds and professional liability insurance to safeguard your business.
What Are Surety Bonds?
A surety bond is a contract between three or more parties, issued by a surety company on behalf of a party known as the principal. The contract guarantees that the principal will complete an obligation to a third party, known as the obligee. If the principal fails to meet its obligation, the obligee may recover its losses from the bond. A surety bond is a form of credit, and the principal is responsible for paying claims under the indemnity agreement signed when the bond was purchased.
What Happens If A Claim Is Made On My Surety Bond?
If a claim is filed against your surety bond, the surety company will expect you to take care of it. If you fail to do so, the surety company will typically conduct an investigation to determine whether the claim is valid. If the claim is found to be invalid, no further action is taken. However, you may be liable for investigation costs incurred by the surety company.
If the claim is found to be valid, the surety company will remind you of your obligation and expect either:
- A response to the claim
- Resolution of the claim (typically involving financial compensation for damages)
- A valid defense to the claim
If you fail to provide any of the above, the surety company will decide based on the information and documentation provided by the claimant. If the company pays the claim, it will expect reimbursement from you for the settlement and associated legal costs.
What Is Professional Errors & Omissions Insurance?
Errors and omissions (E&O) insurance is a type of professional liability insurance designed to protect professionals, companies, and their workers against claims of negligent actions or inadequate work. In most cases, it covers claims settlements up to policy limits, in addition to court costs and legal fees. E&O insurance is generally a must for professional businesses that give advice or provide a service.
Differences Between Surety Bonds And E&O Insurance
Although a professional business may need both surety bonds and professional liability insurance, there are significant differences between the two. Our experienced agency can help you secure both forms of protection.
- Contract: A professional liability insurance policy is a contract between the insurance company and the insured, wherein the insurer promises to compensate the insured for covered losses. A surety bond is a contract among three or more parties to guarantee that the principal purchasing the bond will complete its obligations to a third party.
- Protection: While E&O insurance is designed to protect the insured from loss, surety bonds are designed to protect third parties.
- Premiums: Professional liability insurance premiums are paid to cover potential losses the insured may incur. Surety bond premiums are paid to guarantee the principal fulfills its obligations.
- Claims: A claim on an E&O policy is paid by the insurance company to make the insured whole after a loss. With a surety bond, the principal is responsible for paying any valid claims.

Petrol & diesel tuning boxes for: Car / FORD / FOCUS II Estate from 2004 to 2012
Showing all 51 results
Looking to improve and tune your Ford FOCUS II Estate from 2004 to 2012? then look no further than the DTUK car tuning box. You could expect to see an increase of up to 40% more power and torque, sometimes, even more, using our plug and play petrol and diesel tuning boxes.
Find your FOCUS II Estate from 2004 to 2012 model here...
Let's be honest, the tuning box market is a very hard place to negotiate around and there are a lot of claims out there that frankly just don't add up… One thing that the team at DTUK have always been proud about is being transparent and honest with every customer we deal with.
One of these being the fact that we are a partner of DTE systems GmbH founded in 1996. We have worked with DTE since 2005 and will continue to do so as their hardware/software is some of the highest quality including over 3500 TUV approved applications. This is far superior to other companies who have approached us in regards to selling their systems.
We're often asked why people should buy our box rather than one from our competitors. Along with our Partners in Germany we invest a lot of time and effort in testing and proving our boxes before adding then to our website.
You may find a lot of these tuning boxes sold online are very much the same product. You can often tell as they use the same components throughout a variety of different boxes in the marketplace. One of these being the connection that is made from the wiring harness to the tuning box its self. No doubt the internals are very similar also. These boxes are being sold in the UK for £350+ and can be purchased from the company manufacturing them direct for £150-£250.
You may also find that a lot of these tuning boxes only offer 1 program and 1-7 settings. Here at DTUK we have always had a selection of programs and settings to be able to choose from. On all of our push button modules we offer 3 programs and 7 settings on each of those programs. That's a total of 21 settings on one tuning box!
Check our FAQ page to find more reasons to trust DTUK to tune your pride and joy
Another benefit that helps us stand above the rest is that our systems can be used on both analogue and digital sensored engines.
Now this might mean absolutely nothing to you and may not ever affect you in the future… BUT there are a lot of our customers that run our tuning boxes on newer lease/financed vehicles. Now if you are one of those customers who change their cars every few years or so this could be a huge benefit to you. As of yet there are only a certain few manufactures that use digital sensors, but more and more are transferring across to these. The newer VAG range (Audi, Seat, Skoda, Volkswagen) and even newer Mercedes are now starting to use these digital sensors.
These sensors go by the term SENT (Single Edged Nibble Transmission) which you may have seen mentioned on our page before and this basically means that they now take a digital signal rather than the analogue signal that has been used in previous cars for many years. A lot of other companies don't offer this and require a brand new box that tends to retail at around £550+ to be able to work with their SENT sensored vehicles.
Listed below are all of the boxes that now have the ability to use both analogue and digital sensors;
CRD2+/ CRDT+/ CRD3+/ FSR+/ MP-T+ with Bluetooth app control.

Helping the media, in all its forms, to provide good coverage for your Event to the widest possible audience is the best form of publicity available and is a crucial contribution to the success of the Event.
Many parties are involved in organising an Event, and each of them has its mission and importance. Organisers, Athletes and officials all have a role to play in making the Event happen and turn it into a success. The media is instrumental in promoting the Event, encouraging spectator attendance and attracting – and retaining – the sponsors.
In today's world, the media take many forms and include traditional print press, online press, broadcasters, photographers and social media bloggers, vloggers and writers. Depending on the Event, some or all of these types of media will be expected to attend and will need to be catered for. It is important to note that some media (mostly broadcast) have contracts in place that also need to be respected.
Main considerations in taking care of media at your event:
- Someone to liaise with and look after members of the media attending the event
- Reserved/dedicated tribune/seating for media to watch competition
- Somewhere for the media to work (Media Centre) – writing, filing photographs etc
- Sufficient space
- Work desks
- Power
- Good internet
- Access to food and toilets
- Mixed zone – area adjacent to competition arena to interview Athletes post-competition
Guidelines for Media Operations at FEI Events
Guidelines have been designed specifically to help Organisers provide the best possible working conditions for the media. The Guidelines outline the necessary steps, decisions and actions that need to be taken before, during and after the Event in order to optimise conditions for the media, both those on-site and those covering the Event remotely.
Bearing in mind the various scales of media activities in different parts of the world, the aim of the FEI is to provide a tool that can be useful for different levels and size of organisations. For some of the more experienced Organisers, some elements of the Guidelines may seem obvious, but the goal is to enable everyone to provide a better service to the media and increase the appeal of your Event, and of equestrian sport in general, as well as to provide greater brand visibility for both FEI and Event sponsors.
Protocol for Press Conferences at FEI Events
The following document provides guidance for the organisation of press conferences at FEI Events - click here.
Media Operations at FEI Series & Championships
Specific contractual requirements for Organisers of FEI-named events, series and championships can be found in the respective Host Agreement between Organiser and FEI. Press Officers must check this host agreement to fully understand the implications for their team and media attending.
Media Access to Stables at FEI Events
The stables area is often of interest to the media. However access is strictly controlled under FEI Veterinary Regulations. Media requests to access the stables area must be made and subsequently managed in strict accordance with the FEI's policy for media access to stables at FEI events.
Sponsors & Press Relations
The use of event logos and sponsors' logos is key to promoting both your event and maximising exposure for your sponsors. However, there are occasions when your sponsors may wish to have references to their brand removed from communiques, such as a horse testing positive to a prohibited substance at your event, a disqualification for hypersensitivity, a horse welfare issue or some other potentially controversial matter.
We do of course understand that you may have contractual obligations to use the full designation of the event and the sponsor's logo in all communiques. However, the FEI recommends that organisers of FEI events should liaise directly with their sponsors prior to the event to agree a protocol for use in case there is an incident that has the potential to damage a sponsor's brand image.
FEI Online Resources for Media
The FEI provides a wide range of online information resources to support media, Organisers and Event Press Officers. These include:
- FEI Media Hub
- FEI Photo Catalogue - Free images for editorial use are available from FEI Photos. Media simply need to register their details and a username and password will be emailed to them.
- Social Media - The FEI posts news, images and video on Facebook and Twitter. We encourage media, Organisers and Event Press Officers to follow us on Facebook and Twitter and share content.
- Athlete Biographies - Biographies can be found here.
- FEI YouTube Channel - Event previews, interviews and behind the scenes footage from many FEI events are available on the FEI's YouTube channel. Feel free to share this content.
- FEI TV - Live footage from many Events can be viewed on FEI TV, the FEI's official video channel. To subscribe to FEI TV, please click here.
Further Advice & Support
The FEI Press Relations Team is pleased to support the efforts of you, the Organiser, and your Event Press Officer. In order to support you effectively, please:
- Include the FEI on your press mailing list citing the email address firstname.lastname@example.com
- Send us a short text presenting your Event, the logo, images (with caption and credit), press kit, press accreditation and hotel reservation details, so that we can publish these details on the FEI website, on social media, in FEI publications and in FEI Photos.
Furthermore you can contact the FEI Communications department for advice at any time, they are there to help and support the smooth running of your event. They can be contacted here.
Additionally the International Alliance of Equestrian Journalists (IAEJ) has appointed national delegates in each country to advise and help you. Click here for more information about the IAEJ.
