We take the protection of your privacy seriously when collecting, processing and using your personal data in accordance with the statutory provisions and would like you not only to be able to find out about our range of services on our website, but also to feel secure in doing so.
This privacy statement contains information on processing of personal data of users of our websites and on communication by e-mail.

Hoffrogge GmbH
Am Spascher See 2
D-27793 Wildeshausen
|+49 (0) 44 31 - 70 77 0
|+49 (0) 44 31 - 70 77 222
II. Name and Address of the Data Protection Officer
You can reach the data protection officer appointed by Hoffrogge GmbH by e-mail at dataprotection[at]Hoffrogge.com or by using the postal address of Hoffrogge GmbH with the addition "data protection officer".
III. General Information
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
"Personal data" means any information relating to the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. In addition to general information such as name and address, this also includes, inter alia, private or business e-mail addresses and other contact information. The collection, processing (storage, modification, transmission, blocking and deletion) and use of personal data by us takes place exclusively in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. We only collect, process and use personal data if and to the extent permitted by law - in particular to establish, execute or terminate contractual relationships - or if you have given us your consent to the use of your data. Required consents will be logged by us. The granting of such consent is always voluntary. Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future under the statutory conditions. The revocation is possible by a corresponding notification by e-mail to info[at]Hoffrogge.com, by fax to the German number +49 (0) 44 31 - 70 77 222 or by post to Hoffrogge GmbH, Am Spascher See 2, D-27793 Wildeshausen.
Your visit to our website remains anonymous. The referrer URL (source URL), i.e. the web page from which you visit our website, the web pages that you visit on our website, the IP address (Internet protocol address) of the accessing computer and the date of your visit are stored only for statistical purposes and possibly for error analysis. We do not create "user profiles"; it is not possible for us to draw conclusions about the person of the user, his location or the like from the temporary storage of IP addresses; we also do not transmit IP addresses and other information about the use of our website to non-European countries. When you are asked to enter data about yourself, the data transmission on the pages marked accordingly is encrypted using 128-bit SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layers), an internationally recognised security standard. You always have the alternative of sending us your enquiries in writing.
2. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Art. 6(1) (b) GDPR serves as a legal basis for the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party. This also applies where processing is necessary in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3. Data Erasure and Storage Period
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if the European or national legislator has provided for this in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract. Statistical data will be deleted after 90 days.
IV. Use of Cookies
1. Description and Scope of Data Processing
Cookies are text files that are either temporarily stored on the hard disk of the computer until the browser is closed ("session cookie") or for a longer period of time ("permanent cookie"). Cookies contain, for example, information about the user's previous accesses to the corresponding server or information about which offers have been called up so far.
We use cookies exclusively in the extranet accessible only to our registered users. The cookies used are also exclusively session cookies to identify the user and verify his or her authorization to use the site.
You also have the option of refusing to accept cookies at any time. This is usually done by selecting the appropriate option in the browser settings or by additional programs. Please refer to your browser's help function for further details. The deactivation of cookies can reduce the scope of services called up or make the use of our extranet impossible.
2. Legal Basis for Data Processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR.
3. Purpose of Data Processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of our extranet for users. Some functions of the extranet cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these it is necessary that the browser is recognized also after a page change.
4. Storage Period, Possibility of Objection and Removal
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our website by the user. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that all functions of our extranet can no longer be used to their full extent.
V. Contact Form and E-Mail Contact
1. Description and Scope of Data Processing
A contact form is available on our website, which can be used for electronic contact. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. The data is:
- Name and title of the user
- email address
- User's telephone number (if provided by the user and only for the purpose of any queries)
- the message entered and also
- date and time of the message.
Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data as part of the sending process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration.
Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.
The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The data will be used exclusively for the processing of the conversation and deleted after its conclusion, unless and as long as this does not conflict with legal storage obligations.
2. Legal Basis for Data Processing
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR if the user has given his consent.
The legal basis for processing the data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR. If the purpose of the e-mail contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1) (b) GDPR.
3. Purpose of Data Processing
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us exclusively for the processing of the establishment of contact. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
4. Storage Period
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected, i.e. when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been conclusively clarified. If the correspondence is subject to statutory retention periods (in particular according to § 257 German Commercial Code ("Handelsgesetzbuch") and § 147 German Tax Code ("Abgabenordnung"), we shall delete these upon expiry of the relevant retention periods.
5. Possibility of Objection and Removal
The user has the possibility to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the communication cannot be continued. In this case, all personal data stored in the course of establishing contact will be deleted. Statutory retention periods applicable to us shall remain unaffected.
6. Safety Notice
Although we can be contacted by e-mail, please consider what information you wish to communicate via this insecure medium. With regard to the security and confidentiality of e-mails, the official data protection officers point out that it is not possible to verify with certainty who sent the e-mail and whether the content was fictitious or changed after it was sent intentionally, incidentally or by technical malfunction. There is also a problem with confidentiality (data protection), as it is possible that e-mails may be read by unauthorised persons, who could then become aware of confidential matters. Therefore, not all information can be exchanged by e-mail. E-mail communication can be used for general enquiries. We recommend that you do not send any sensitive or confidential data, especially personal data, unprotected over the Internet. If you have any questions about secure data transmission, please do not hesitate to contact us.
VI. Use of Vimeo plug-ins
1. Description and Scope of Data Processing
We use for the integration of videos among other things the supplier Vimeo. Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, LLC headquartered at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011.
On some of our websites we use the video player of the provider Vimeo. If you access the Internet pages of our Internet presence equipped with such a video player, in particular to view the videos on our offers made available there, a connection will be established to the Vimeo servers and the video player will be displayed.
By doing so, the Vimeo server will be informed which of our Internet pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of Vimeo, Vimeo will assign this information to your personal user account. When using the video player, such as clicking the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies from Vimeo.
2. Legal basis for Data Processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR.
3. Storage Period, Objection and Removal
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Vimeo as well as your related rights and privacy settings can be found in Vimeo's privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy
In addition, Vimeo may use the tracker Google Analytics. This is Vimeo's own tracking, which we do not have access to. You can prevent Google Analytics from tracking you by using the opt-out tools that Google provides for some Internet browsers. Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by Google Analytics and related to their use of the website (including your IP address) and Google from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
VII. Rights of the Data Subject

3. Right to Restriction of Processing
You shall have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
- the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
- the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
- we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

Where processing has been restricted under the above, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to Erasure
Duty to delete
You may request to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
- the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that processing is necessary.

5. Right to Information
If you have exercised your right to rectify, cancel or limit the processing of your personal data against the controller, the latter is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of such rectification, cancellation or limitation, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
They shall have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed of such recipients.
6. Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the responsible person in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to communicate this data to another data controller without being hindered by the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that
- the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9(2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1) (b) GDPR and
- the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be transmitted directly by one responsible person to another responsible person, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data transfer does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to Object
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1) (e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller shall no longer process your personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
8. Right to Withdraw Consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation.
9. Automated Individual Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that gives you legal effect or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision
- is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
- is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
- is based on your explicit consent.
In the cases referred to in points a. and c., the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right of the controller to obtain the intervention of a person, to present his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9(1) GDPR, unless Art. 9(2) (a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
10. Right to lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform you on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR

If you discover a fire in a building:
- Do not panic. Stay calm.
- Pull the nearest fire alarm immediately (located in most hallways and near exits).
- Evacuate the building by the nearest exit immediately. If the fire is in a room, and it is safe, shut the door as you leave.
- If you see someone who needs help getting to an exit, help them if you can. Move them to an exit of fire safe stairwell. If you cannot get the person out of the building, tell them you are going for help and find a security guard, a fire warden or a firefighter and let them know someone needs help.
- Go to an emergency assembly area.
- Report to the fire warden.
Once you are safely out of the building you can call 1-1-1-1 or 9-1-1 and provide the following information:
- Precise location of the fire
- Your name
- How fast the fire is spreading
- People who are trapped
Only use a fire extinguisher:
- If the fire is the size of a small waste basket
- Or if you know how
- Or if you cannot evacuate
In all other cases, it is safer to leave than try to stop the spread of the fire.

Netflix loves to ask if you're still watching, but what if you could basically tell it that you plan to fall asleep in advance? Well, that will be possible if a new feature comes to all users, as Netflix is testing a sleep timer.
We've just discovered we have it on a Galaxy S21 Ultra we're testing. According to The Verge, this feature is being tested to a limited selection of users. Specifically, "select users globally with Android devices" are going to get the option first.
- The best streaming devices, ranked
- The 61 best Netflix shows and TV series
- WandaVision episode 5 release date: When you can watch on Disney Plus
The feature sounds quite simple, and ideal for anyone trying to stop themselves from waking up at 2am when another episode of their favorite show is playing. Not only is that a rude awakening, now you have no idea where you left off.
Here's how Netflix's sleep timer works:
- Tap on Timer in the upper right corner while watching a show.
- Select 15, 30, 45 minutes, or "Finish Show."
If you select Finish Show, playback will stop once the episode you're watching is over, as the timed options may bring you ahead one or two episodes.
Netflix may open it up to more users and devices, but only if they consider it a hit with users. Remember, Netflix knows how you interact with its shows. It's always collecting data.
This is a great way to improve the Netflix app, so we hope it's a success. I do this with podcasts all the time, setting a 30 minute timer when I go to bed.

News Articles From June 2013

Yesterday, the third and final shipment of Amtrak equipment to TTCI for testing the ACS-64s moved down the Joint Line. Power was Amtrak 97 and 12, followed by eight Amfleet cars and one oddball that appears to be a Horizon car. (It's hard to tell - I haven't gotten a good look at it, as it's quite distant in most posted photos.)
Meanwhile, the yellow Caterpillar SD70ACe 1201 has emerged from TTCI and is sitting at the fuel rack in Pueblo this afternoon. It's due to catch a ride east tonight/tomorrow on BNSF's HKCKDEN.
In related news, ACS-64 602 is supposed to be unveiled today out in California. It, like 600 and 601, is supposed to work east over the California Zephyr. Unlike its siblings, however, this one is supposed to right on to Delaware without stopping at TTCI. -

Former D&RGW K-27 463, recently restored to operation, will star in a movie currently being made on and around the C&TS. There's no official word of the title, but all signs point to it being Seth MacFarlane's
"A Million Ways to Die in the West"
. Stars in the film (other than our beloved K-27, of course) include Amanda Seyfried, Charlize Theron, Neil Patrick Harris, Liam Neeson, Seth himself, Sarah Silverman, Giovanni Ribisi, and a host of others.
463 has received a large fake headlight (oddly reminiscent of some early RGS headlights), a removable but hideous balloon stack for the filming, and the tender has been relabeled with "D&RGW" in big white letters. Pictures of the modified 463 can be found
A number of freight cars have also been relettered for filming. They carry the letters "D&RGW" in a very strange logo (looks like a banner flying over a stylized representation of an old fabricated tube plow), and the words "Southern Railway". Since I'm guessing you can't quite picture it,
[here's a post with pictures]
463 double-headed with one of the K-36s on today's Chama-Antonito train. It was 463 in the lead, then 488, then then regular passenger cars, and then a string of the relabled freight cars. At Cumbres, the broke the train in half, and 463 proceeded on to Antonito on its own with the freight cars in tow. Roger Hogan has posted photos of the move
I can't say as I'm too fond of the 463's look, but it's nice to see big-budget movies returning to the C&TS for filming. And at least the thing is painted in realistic colors with semi-realistic lettering and numbering.
Hopefully the movie company will be held to returning the equipment to its correct appearance upon their departure. This is a lesson learned from our recent night shoot with caboose 0579, which is still missing all of its lettering on one side because of a movie shoot several years back. -

Yes, that's right, apparently Woodside, UT, is for sale. The abandoned town near milepost 581 of the
D&RGW Utah desert mainline
is for sale - at the downright crazy price of $3.9M. For that insane number, you get an abandoned, run down gas station and 700 acres of desert, with a lineside view of the former Grande. It's also got frontage on US Highway 6, which is probably why the price tag is so bizarrely high.
For those interested, see

As many of you are already aware, the hot, windy, dry weather that's settled over Colorado this week has allowed a spate of wildfires to pop up and spread with amazing ferocity.
I don't mean to in any way diminish the huge impact of these fires to people's homes and lives. It's certainly top on my mind personally, as I have a number of friends who have either already lost their homes or are evacuated and just don't know. However, every other news organization is already covering that. So I'll stick to what this site does best - covering the fires as they relate to the D&RGW and Colorado railroading.
One of the first to start, the Royal Gorge Fire, began to the southwest of the Royal Gorge Bridge and spread to the northeast. In the process, it jumped the canyon roughly at the bridge site, and burned most of the park structures. DRGW K-37 499 and caboose 0584 were on the northeast end of the park, and most of us feared the worst for the old wooden caboose.
Sadly, it's true. D&RGW 0584, one of five narrow gauge 26' "long cabooses" built by the Grande in 1900, is a complete loss. You can see it
as it appeared the last time I photographed it in 2010. Fox 21 News (KXRM) out of Colorado Springs posted
[a number of photos]
from the Royal Gorge Park that show the damage. The pertinent one here is
[this one (#4)]
, showing only a pile of metal and ashes behind 499 where 0584 used to be.
Hopefully we can get word to the right people in Canon City and the Royal Gorge Park that the metal remains need to be saved and hauled off to the dump. Even if they're not used to build a replica 0584, they could still go into other historic D&RGW cabooses in need of restoration.
FYI, for those wondering, my house is miles away from the flames and in almost no danger no matter which way this thing goes. My office, on the other hand, is right up there in the thick of it. Our management decided to kick us out yesterday when we were put on voluntary evacuation, and then this afternoon, officials converted that to a mandatory evacuation. So I'm working from my couch for at least the next few days. -

As expected, Amtrak moved another of their new ACS-64s (AMTK #601) down the Joint Line today. The units are coming in on the California Zephyr from the Siemens plant building them in California. They're then switched out in Denver and taken south to Pueblo and east to the TTC interchange at Avondale as a special move. Today's train was AMTK 133, AMTK 601, AMTK 19, and AMTK 90200 (ex-F40PH "cabbage").
I actually managed to get my lazy butt out of bed this morning to catch the move. Photos and the story of today's train can be found
in sort of a half-news gallery, half-trip report.
The first of these engines (AMTK 600) showed up two weeks ago and moved in much the same fashion. Matt Darling caught up with it around Grand Junction and sent me a few shots, which I've posted
. Thanks to Matt for sending those in. -

Another new ACS-64 was connected to the eastbound Colorado Zephyr at Emeryville, CA, on Thursday morning, 6 Jun 2013. That'll put it across Colorado tomorrow and into Denver tomorrow night. I would assume this one will move south around first light on Saturday, but don't have any confirmation on that yet.
And yes, thanks to those who sent pictures of the move of Amtrak 600 two weeks ago. I'm sorry I haven't gotten them posted yet, but I will soon. Been a busy couple of weeks around here. -

The Berlin Wall was a scar that can still be seen today in the german capital. It split the city into east and west, capitalism and communism, from 1961 to 1989. When it fell, it united the country again and made Germany what it is today.
The Berlin Wall started being built, in a really fast way, in the early morning hours of August 13, 1961. First there was barbed wire, then bricks and a proper wall came to be. It kept being improved through the years until it became what can still be seen around Berlin, like in the East Side Gallery and the Mauer Memorial.
But this article is not about the Berlin Wall and how it changed the city where we live. This article is about a news report from August 1962, when the Wall had it first birthday.
Have you seen how the Berlin Wall looked like at the 25th Celebration of the day it fell? We were there and we have a lot of pictures of it.
On this movie, you can see how the Berlin Wall used to look like next to the Brandenburger Tor and how it was nicknamed The Wall of Shame by the people in West Berlin. You can hear the Freedom Bells of the capitalist side of the city shaming the other side for being cut from the world with a brick wall. There is even a shallow explanation for why the Berlin Wall was built. East Germany said it was to protect itself against the fascist that were on the other side. It was even called Anti-Fascist Protective Wall by the GDR Authorities.
The short movie continue showing how the Berlin Wall united West Germany with a reason to stand together against the Eastern Block that was trying to choke West Berlin out of where it stood. You can see how Checkpoint Charlie used to look like with all the American soldiers patrolling it. Also, there are even shots of Willy Brandt on a brief memorial for those who died trying to cross the Berlin Wall in a place that looks like the Oberbaumbrucke between Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain.
It is an interesting video that, today, looks more like propaganda from West Berlin than anything else. But it, still, has a lot of historical value and we love to stumble upon this kind of videos. It is the only way we have to see how Berlin used to look like before it became what it is today.

WA Turf Seminar and Trade Expo 2021
Well we did it again! After months of preparation, (and one deferral due to Covid), another hugely successful WA Turf Seminar and Trade Expo was held on Wednesday June 16th, 2021, at Mills Park in Beckenham. With over 200 delegates, (from across a wide sector of our industry and all over WA), turf industry apprentices and educators, and trade in attendance we were blessed with perfect weather, amazing trade sponsor displays and demonstrations, terrific, interactive delegates, informative, generous presenters, the support of the most incredible LGA in the City of Gosnells, and superb food! What more could you we ask for? Over 200 turfies and trade in one room and on one oval! The day ran without a glitch, on time and very calmly. The positive feedback received on the day and since from participants was phenomenal.
Darren Kirkwood, Turf Growers Association WA Chairperson capably managed the role of Master of Ceremonies for the day.
The morning session was saw presentations from.
- Daniel Ferguson, Senior Planner, Department of Water and Environmental Regulation who presented on GROUND WATER ALLOCATION REDUCTION, WATER ABSTRACTION REPORTING AND RESPONSIBLE BORE WATER USE
(Daniel has been in water planning for over ten years. He has extensive knowledge on the Gnangara Mound and water allocations. Daniel is also an active member of the Green Space Alliance WA and has presented to the STA (WA) previously at the Presidents breakfast in 2020)
- Craig New, Coordinator Parks Operations, City of Gosnells who spoke about the incredibly INNOVATIVE IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT OF A SPORTS TURF FACILITY WITH LIMITED & SALINE WATER SUPPLY at the City of Gosnells, where there is little to no groundwater, and ovals and POS are irrigated via a brook that sources water from a man-made lake upstream.
(Craig went above and beyond in assisting the WA Turf Industry with the planning and coordinating the seminar. Craig was a golf Course Superintendent for over 18 years, he has been in local government since 2013 having worked at Nedlands before he moved across to Gosnells)
- Peter Ruscoe, Sports Turf Technology conducted a Seminar Workshop on successful sand profiles installation and maintenance and the implementation of a turf management plans. Five sessions were conducted, these included the following topics;
Topic 1. Introduction: key issues for turf maintenance
Topic 2. Soil amendments: purpose and types of amendments
Topic 3. Irrigation practices: scheduling and monitoring of irrigation
Topic 4. Turf nutrition: fertilising requirements
Topic 5. Conclusion: implementing a turf management plan
(Peter has worked in the turf industry since 1990 after completing a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Horticulture with honours at the University of Queensland. Peter joined Sports Turf Technology in 2002 and is part owner of the company. He is a past president of the Turf Grass Association of Australia (WA) and has a long and committed history within the WA Turf Industry)
Copies of these presentations can be located online at https://tgawa.com.au/seminar-and-workshop-presentations/
During the morning tea and the spectacular, hot pot, luncheon breaks, delegates were directed through to view new innovations, products, and equipment from fifteen trade sponsored booths. The afternoon session saw delegates rotating through the five major trade demonstration sites in groups of thirty or so for half hour sessions of informational and educational equipment and product demonstrations. These sessions were led by members of the STA (WA) executive committee and were conducted on the oval and were extremely well received. There's nothing liking seeing the faces of industry members seeing new stuff for the first time!
In short, this was our best seminar yet! Hats off to the WA Turf Industry – the Sports Turf Association (WA) and the Turf Growers Association WA for always working so well together to enable such an excellent industry day! Thanks to Tony Guy (STA (WA) President), Greg Jackson (Treasurer), Chris Langsford (Membership Officer) and Simon Wood ( South Metropolitan TAFE lecturer and committee member) for all your efforts in the lead up to and on the day. Special thanks to Richard Gainsford (STA (WA) Secretary) for taking the hundreds of professional photos and drone footage on the day.

The problem is not the canary; it's the atmosphere.
Building on the metaphor of the canary testing the toxicity of air in a mine, the keynote speaker at last Thursday's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebratory Breakfast, Lani Guinier, recommended that academia adopt new strategies to increase diversity in higher education.
"The experience of women, the experience of people of color and particularly the experience of African-Americans is the experience of the canary," she said. "And the problem has been that we have pathologized the canary and tried to locate the problem in the canary, when in fact the canary is signaling to us a much bigger problem with the atmosphere in the mine that is affecting all of us.
"So the challenge is not to pathologize the canary, not to outfit the canary with a little pint-sized gas mask so that it can withstand the toxic atmosphere in the mine. The challenge is to fix the atmosphere in the mine so all of us can breathe cleaner air."
The Harvard Law School professor was addressing the theme of MIT's 27th annual celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. King, "Confronting the Gap: Building and Sustaining Inclusion." In doing so, she urged educators to abandon overreliance on written tests to predict the potential for achievement -- "the testocracy," she called it -- and to adopt Dr. King's methodology of "taking from the margin to rethink the whole to benefit everyone."
"We are using the testocracy as a proxy for privilege," Professor Guinier said.
She pointed to research that indicates the best predictor of a person's Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score is his or her grandparents' socioeconomic status, and that the issue is really "democratic citizenship."
"We abolished the literacy test and we abolished the poll tax and we abolished many of the arbitrary pre-requisites that had been used to determine who can participate in our democracy," Professor Guinier said. "I think we need to reconsider the testocracy and some of the tests that we are using as gatekeepers."
She did not suggest that testing be abolished. As a teacher, she gives them and pays attention to the grades. Her concern is misuse.
"This is about high-stakes testing that is being used to predict from one domain to another how someone is going to perform in the future," she said. "This is not about how well you did in this particular class based on what it was that I expected you to learn. This is using a test or misusing a test to try to predict someone's future performance."
She concluded with a story about her son, who wanted to be an astronaut when he was eight years old. As a result, their family watched the movie Apollo 13 several times.
"You must remember, if you've seen it, the scene where they summon NASA, the astronauts are in a capsule, they are choking on their own carbon dioxide, there is leakage between a round tube and a square opening and they are in desperate shape -- 'Houston, we have aproblem.'
"Now, the NASA administrator, in trying to deal with this tangible problem, did not say, 'Well, get me the person with the highest SAT scores on their physics or science or engineering tests.' He assembled a diverse group of people with different kinds of expertise. He put them in a room, he gave them a reproduction of everything that the astronauts had on that capsule and he said, 'Now you have to solve this problem by working together.' And they did. And they were able to convert what could have been a tragedy into a triumph.
"I believe if we take the methodology of Dr. King, if we remember the lesson of the miners' canary, that we too can avert what could be otherwise a tragedy and turn it into a triumph," Professor Guinier said.
A version of this article appeared in MIT Tech Talk on February 14, 2001.

The Sound Start Study is a research project funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Grant and conducted by researchers from Charles Sturt University, The University of Sydney, and The University of the West of England. This study was conducted 2013-2015. The final newsletter for the project is available here. The main results from the study are available here.
The Sound Start Study focused on 4- to 5-year-old children who were attending preschool. The main aims of this study were to investigate the speech skills of 4- to 5-year-old children and to determine the effectiveness of the innovative computer program, Phoneme Factory Sound Sorter (PFSS) as an intervention for preschool children with speech difficulties. Development of the Australian version of PFSS was supported by the Rural and Distance Education team from the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities (DEC).
The easy and successful acquisition of literacy requires children to enter school with competent speech, language, and pre-literacy skills. Up to one in five Australian preschoolers has speech difficulties (speech sound disorder), which will affect 30% to 77% of these children's literacy acquisition if it persists into the school years. Without specialist services, these children face increased risk of life-long social, educational, and vocational limitations. Children may be impeded from accessing specialist services because of
The overarching aim of this project was to determine the effectiveness of an innovative computer-based intervention in assisting children with speech impairment to develop age appropriate speech and pre-literacy skills to decrease the risk of later speech and reading difficulties. This was achieved through
This research compared the development of children with speech difficulties who participate in typical classroom practices with children involved in typical classroom practice and using PFSS. The research had six stages, with each stage being repeated annually for three years (2013, 2014, 2015) with a different group of children, caregivers, and educators each year.
All data collection of the Sound Start Study is now complete. During 2015 and 2016 we will be working to analyse the data.
This project is an interdisciplinary venture that draws on both the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace, 2009) and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health – Children and Youth (ICF-CY; World Health Organization, 2007). The findings of this research will provide insights into intervention for children with speech difficulties in preschool settings and the underlying nature of speech difficulties in children.

SummaryArchitecture is not just an 'object', but also a 'space' inhabited by objects and people. Architecture itself as well as the related objects can reveal much about ideology, politics, knowledge, culture and people's life during the Mao period. Beijing International Club was a significant diplomatic building built in the Cultural Revolution after China improved its foreign relations with the West. This biography illustrates how the building was designed and used and how the artworks in it reflected the political struggles of the time.
Beijing International Club (Beijing guoji julebu 北京国际俱乐部) was built as an important diplomatic venue in 1972, at a turning point in China's state politics and foreign relations shifting away from the Soviet Union and towards the US and Western Europe. The design of this building reflected this political shift by showing signs of departing from Soviet style buildings in the 1950s and instead referencing Western modernism for the expression of Chinese identity [see ⧉source: Image of the building from the exterior, also depicted to the left]. By looking at Beijing International Club as a material object, we can observe an intricate web of form, knowledge, and politics woven together in the realm of architecture.
The historical and political background of the building
After the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution temporarily subsided in 1969, Chinese politics shifted from a single emphasis on revolution to a more pragmatic focus on development. A dynamic balance between the two factions - the 'leftists' (led by Jiang Qing 江青) and the 'pragmatists' (led by Zhou Enlai 周恩来) - was achieved at the top level of state leadership as a result of Chairman Mao's mediation. At the same time, there was a significant breakthrough in China's relations with the Western countries, culminating in Nixon's visit to China in 1972. From 1969 to 1976, due to the increase in foreign affairs before and after Nixon's visit, a group of diplomatic buildings were built in Beijing [see ⧉source: Map of diplomatic buildings in Beijing in the 1970s].
The location and composition of the building
Beijing International Club was located in the First Embassy Region, next to a series of apartment buildings. It functioned as a community center for foreign diplomats living there. Made up of five parts, the compound included a gym (Part I), a recreation area (Part II), a dining area (Part III), a cinema (Part IV), and a swimming pool (Part V) [see ⧉source: Floor plan]. The building provided various community services, such as a hairdresser and a library, and spaces for recreational activities including billiards, bowling, ping-pong, a cinema, tennis and swimming. The compound also housed venues for diplomatic activities, such as rooms for banquets, dining, receptions, meetings, and press conferences. As an iconic new building that represent China's architecture in the 1970s, it attracted much attention from architects, political leaders, and foreign guests. For example, the American delegation of architects visited China in 1974 andmade note of this building as an example of the 'new architecture' in China [see ⧉source: American report].1
The architects
Wu Guanzhang 吴观张, a young architect in his thirties at Beijing Institute of Architectural Design (Beijingshi shejiyuan 北京市设计院), was appointed as the chief architect of this project. He supervised several even younger architects including Ma Guoxin 马国馨, Liu Yongliang 刘永梁, and Song Shifen, among others, who were in their twenties. These young architects were the main workforces in China's design institutes in the 1970s.2 Wu Guanzhang was born in 1933 and graduated from the prestigious Qinghua University in Beijing in 1962 [see ⧉source: Wu Guanzhang]. Another architect, Ma Guoxin, born in 1942, also graduated from Qinghua University (qinghua daxue 清华大学) in 1965. When they took up this task in 1969, they had little experience designing large-scale public buildings, let alone buildings of such major political significance. Their appointment reflected a shortage of experienced architects at the time caused by the Cultural Revolution starting from 1966; a time during which many senior architects were criticized, sidelined, 'sent down',3 and even persecuted to death.
A milestone in architectural history
In an interview with Wu, he recalled the design process of this building with no special pride. To him, it was just a small, simple project, compared with the much larger and more complex projects he designed in the 1980s following the 1978 economic reform policies.4 But Wu himself may have underestimated the historical significance of the design he produced during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). Indeed, Beijing International Club should be regarded as a milestone in the architectural history of Mao's China since 1949. It broke away from the previous design paradigms and ushered in a new expression in architecture by adopting an eclectic approach to combine Chinese national forms and modernism.
The use of national form
According to Wu, government officials required to use of national form to represent Chinese national identity. Yet Chinese-style 'big roofs' were banned. After the Party denounced the extravagant Soviet-inspired National Style (minzu fengge 民族风格) in 1955, the big roof was regarded as expensive, useless, and - more seriously - a symbol of 'formalism' and 'feudalism'. When building the International Club, only simplified national forms were adopted though these were still reminiscent of traditional palatial architecture. The façade composition followed classical rules, consisting of three segments – the base, the body, and the top [see ⧉source: Façade]. The concrete roofs, beams, and balustrades all mimicked the wood structure of traditional Chinese architecture.
Besides the symbols of classical architecture, certain features of traditional southern gardens were also intentionally revived: especially the varied configuration of the labyrinthine interior space, the playful arrangement of landscape elements, and the continuity between interior and exterior [see ⧉source: Garden]. Wu Guanzhang had been born in Suzhou, a city famous for a rich collection of traditional gardens, and he openly admitted his inclination towards a 'southern tradition' that favored dynamic, playful architectural composition, instead of the monotonous, sterile forms that seemed to him typical of architecture in Northeast China.5
Influences of Western modernism
Despite the reference to Chinese architecture, the design was closely related to Western modernism, and particularly shows an influence of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The horizontality of façade composition and the semi-circular shape of the reading room might have been inspired by Wright's Prairie-style houses. Even the drawing style of the floor plan was reminiscent of Wright: the depiction of trees, pergola, and the irregular pattern of stone pavement all showed a strong intention to incorporate outdoor nature into the interior.
Wu admitted that he had come to appreciate the architecture of Wright in particular while studying at Qinghua University.6 Such admiration for Wright was common among Chinese architects of that generation. Wright's architecture was both traditional and modern, and deeply rooted in regional and national traditions of the United States. Therefore, his work was exemplary for Chinese architects who sought to combine elements from both the national tradition and modernism, while maintaining a Chinese national tradition. Wright's interest in Japanese traditional architecture, moreover, further connected his work with Chinese philosophical and architectural tradition. Wright admired Taoism, especially Lao-Tzu's concept of the 'void', which had inspired Wright to focus on the space enclosed by roofs and walls, instead of roofs and walls themselves.7
Wright demonstrated the compatibility between the modernism of the West and the traditional philosophy and architecture of the East. Whenever the expression of Chinese identity was required in the design of the International Club, Wright was naturally invoked as a major inspiration for seeking to reference and reinterpret the features of traditional Chinese architecture within a modernist framework.
Artworks in the building
Several representative artworks were strategically deployed in the Club's interior [see ⧉source: Artwork distribution]. The spatial distribution of these artworks as a 'distribution of the sensible', according to French philosopher Jacques Rancière, actually reflected a political order.8 Five works of art were selected [see ⧉source: Artworks in Beijing International Club, including the image depicted to the right]. The first two were traditional ink-and-wash paintings on silk tapestry, or so-called Chinese painting. They were considered the most important and exhibited at the two main entrances facing east and south. No. 3 and No. 4, a mural titled 'Cranes' and a tapestry titled 'The Great Wall,' were both realistic Chinese court style (gong-bi) paintings. No. 5, the 'Panda,' was a paper-cut painting on glass, a Chinese folk style.
In the Cultural Revolution, art, and especially fine art, was an important arena of political struggle between factions. The two factions mentioned above had contradictory views towards Chinese painting in particular. The 'leftists' considered Chinese painting backward and reactionary: it represented the aesthetics of the 'high art' appreciated by feudal elitist intellectuals but opposed by the socialist masses. It was suppressed in the 1960s at the heights of the Cultural Revolution. Its re-emergence in the early 1970s was closely associated with the needs of foreign affairs. For the interior of Beijing International Club, the 'pragmatists' considered Chinese painting an essential display of Chinese cultural identity to foreigners.
The two Chinese ink-and-wash paintings were therefore highly controversial in the mid-1970s.9 In 1971, Zhou called a group of sent-down artists, including Li Kuchan 李苦禅, back to Beijing to paint 'Chinese paintings' for several state hotels including Beijing Hotel, the Beijing International Club, and the Minzu Hotel. But later in 1974, Jiang Qing criticized these Chinese paintings, saying they were 'black paintings' that smeared the Party and the socialism.10 The 'High Mountain and Flowing Water' in the East Entrance, painted by Dong Shouping 董寿平, was criticized as 'black mountains and black waters' by the leftists in 1974. Similarly, the 'Lotus' by Li Kuchan in the South Entrance was criticized as a 'black fable', in which the eight dying lotuses were believed to symbolize the 'eight model operas' promoted by Jiang Qing (operas that no one wanted to watch) and the bird was said to symbolize Jiang Qing herself, who was angry about this.11
Industrial products
Besides prestigious artworks, the building was also equipped with many exquisite furniture and industrial objects. Industrial products showcased the industrial progress of China at the time. Decorative lighting is a good examples. The ceiling light of the ballroom in the second level of Part III was called 'starry sky' (mantianxing 满天星); dozens of the disc-shaped lights were arranged staggeringly on the ceiling [see ⧉source: Lights]. Other lights including the chandeliers, the ceiling lights, and the street lights were also designed with ingenuity. These lights were simple, elegant, and customized for this building.
Western lifestyle for privileged people
Beijing International Club actually served a privileged group of people including both Western foreigners and high-ranking Chinese officials. The lifestyle in Beijing International Club was intrinsically Western. It was said that the International Club had a tradition of dancing party every week. The ballroom at the second level of Part III was large enough for 500 people and equipped with bar counter and high chairs. Billiard, bowling and tennis were popular games in the Western country clubs; but in China during this time theses recreations were unknown to most Chinese people [see ⧉source: Lifestyle].
Conclusion: In between China and the West
Beijing International Club was built at a special moment when the country was just emerging from the political turmoil of the Cultural Revolution and began to look towards the West. Both Chinese identity and Western influence were manifest in aspects ranging from architecture to art. The building became a significant diplomatic interface where Chinese government officials could interact with Western foreigners. While it witnessed the political shift in the early 1970s, it therefore also foretold China's reforms and the policy of 'Reform and Opening' after 1978.

During the Mao era, private architectural design firms were eliminated and incorporated into design institutes that were owned and operated by the state.
During the Cultural Revolution, many political leaders, professionals, intellectuals were sent to do labour works in 'cadre schools', farms, villages or factories, in order to reform their minds.

Wright 'discovered' this idea after the appearance of the Ho-o-den in Chicago, 1896. He later received a book, The Book of Tea, which contained Taoist concept of void.

As you may remember, we purchased Matcha Powder for the first time a few months ago. There's a huge Japanese Market right near us so luckily ingredients like this are readily available. So far we've made Green Tea Cheesecake Swirl Brownies and a Green Tea Citrus Smoothie. Third time must be a charm because this recipe is definitely my favorite matcha recipe so far.
There is a Japanese Steakhouse near my parents' house that we've been going to for as long as I've been able to eat. And my parents went even before that! We think this place is Ah-Mazing and you get so much food…soup, salad, veggies, shrimp appetizer, fried rice and of course the main entrée which is made right in front of you. Love It! Chances are you can't finish everything but even so ice cream for dessert is included with the meal. Despite always being disgustingly full, I power through and still order the Green Tea Ice cream. I can't resist.
Plus it's healthy, right? Don't answer that.
Green Tea Ice Cream is soooo delicious. Especially ours!! If you've never had it before or you've never tried homemade then you must try it out. It is really creamy and just the right amount of sweet.
Happy Friday! 🙂
Green Tea Ice Cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk (we used lowfat)
- 2 tbsp matcha powder
- If you're using a Kitchen Aid ice cream attachment make sure the bowl has been in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, pudding mix, heavy cream, milk and matcha powder. Pour into freezer bowl and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. We used our Kitchen Aid attachment and it mixed for about 15-20 minutes, until thickened.
- Transfer the ice cream to a large container with a tight fitting lid and let freeze at least 1 hour before serving.

Quick Unscientific Poll
Good News!! After a long wait the W5FC D-STAR repeater stack was successfully reconnected to the Internet today July 17, 2016. We ran into some issues with the VHF repeater and while that repeater will link and unlink the RF output power is very weak – further troubleshooting will be required at a later time but the UHF and 1.2GHz repeaters should be just fine – please let us know if you have any issues or questions just drop us a note here.

After two-and-a-half years running Hewlett-Packard, CEO Meg Whitman appears ready to make some deals.
"I do think we will now be considering acquisitions," Whitman said on HP's earnings call Thursday, when asked by an analyst what the company plans to do with its free cash flow.
"As this market changes very dramatically, you can see we may need acquisitions in security, big data, mobility and cloud," she said, adding that any deals are likely to be "small to medium-sized."
HP ended its fiscal year last October with US$9.1 billion in free cash flow, and it generated $2.4 billion in the quarter that just ended. The company will return some of the cash to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
Whitman already said last year that she was open to acquisitions, but she hasn't made any significant deals since taking over as CEO from Leo Apotheker in September 2011.
That might not be surprising given the debacle that followed Apotheker's $11 billion buyout of Autonomy just before he was replaced. The following year, HP took an $8.8 billion charge against the deal, effectively saying it had overvalued the company.
As well as buying technology, Whitman is ready to get rid of some, too. Asked by another analyst if HP plans any divestitures this year, Whitman said the time is right.
"I don't see a major move of the big four businesses," she said, referring to HP's enterprise, PC, print and services divisions. "But this is a vast portfolio, and there are product lines and smaller businesses within these big operating divisions that could be a candidate for divestiture."
"We haven't made any decisions, but we're now getting to the natural course of [asking ourselves], 'OK, do we have the optimized portfolio?'" she said.
HP reported fairly solid results for the quarter as Whitman's turnaround at the company slowly continues. Revenue declined by 1 percent, but profits were up and HP managed to grow its PC business for the first time in seven quarters.

As Oregon's largest agricultural sector, the nursery and greenhouse industry depends on an integrated transportation system so product can get to market.
Nearly 75 percent of the nursery stock we grow ends up leaving our borders, with more than half ticketed for markets east of the Mississippi River. As a trade association, we have supported efforts in pursuit of a long-term vision and investment on transportation. It's that important to our sustained economic growth.
The reality is that freight doesn't care who owns the roads — it only cares about getting through. To make the system functional, we must invest. The opposite — doing nothing — has consequences. People can't get to work. Congestion lasts all day, not just during rush hour. Fuel costs (and shipping costs) rise. Trucks become less available to the industries that need them.
In addition to the challenges noted above, the nursery industry faces several that are unique to our business. Agricultural loading docks are not clustered like those at industrial parks; rather they are located on the nurseries and farms, which are spread out. That's a disadvantage relative to other shippers.
Given these challenges and obstacles, it's essential that state and federal policy makers look at transportation systems that support job-creating industries — industries that bring dollars back to our state.
Building a transportation system
President Dwight D. Eisenhower deserves credit for putting his considerable influence and reputation behind the push for a new, nationwide interstate highway system.
He saw what we know to be true: if you move people and products, it will help the nation and the economy. He saw that a strong interstate system could also facilitate our national defense in the event of an emergency.
Eisenhower's commitment to a robust transportation system had its roots in his army days. He remembered taking part in a convoy along the historic Abraham Lincoln Highway, which was one of America's first transcontinental highways. Dedicated in 1913, it traversed 13 states, from New York City to San Francisco.
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 authorized $25 billion for a 10-year, 41,000-mile interstate highway project. It represented the largest public works effort to date at that time. At Eisenhower's urging, the federal government took on the lion's share of the funding (90 percent). Federal gas tax proceeds were funnelled through the Highway Trust Fund. If we were to do a similar effort to rebuild the road infrastructure today, the price tag would be north of $3 trillion and the funding mechanism would need to be updated from the era when Bill Haley and the Comets were on tour.
Over the years, the percentage of federal support for major transportation initiatives has dwindled. States have largely had to go it on their own to improve transportation infrastructure.
In 2017, the Oregon Legislature passed a 10-year, $5.3 billion roads and transit package that will relieve congestion while repairing, rebuilding and updating highways and bridges across the state.
The leaders who crafted the package made sure to move beyond a single funding mechanism, so that everyone pays their share. The package includes a 4-cent gas tax hike, a $16 vehicle registration fee increase, a 0.1 percent payroll tax (paid by the employee), and a 0.5 percent tax on new car sales, all beginning in 2018.
Challenges and opportunities
The issue of getting product to market impacts every facet of our industry — large and small growers, greenhouse operators, retailers and suppliers alike.
The answer to our transportation issue is found not only through the highway system but also port and rail. Oregon saw firsthand what happens to the industry when the port system is compromised.
A slowdown by workers coupled with losing a major carrier hampered shipments up and down the West Coast as well to international markets. A heathy port system is integral to many in agriculture, including the nursery industry.
More and more growers are looking at rail, and it's becoming more affordable. Challenges there include obtaining priority cars through to the end market, as well as transport from the railyards to the customer.
I want to give kudos to the State of Florida, which has provided a pathway to allow for more road capacity and the use of plant material. For every road mile improved, there must be an environmental offset, reducing the temptation to impose a tax on carbon emissions. The plants we grow can be that offset.
I feel that this is worth a broader discussion with our federal and state partners. It could be a way to get product to market and use more plants while doing so. That's a win-win.
A critical need
To growers, the need for transportaiton is just as important as land or water. Although the state of Oregon has taken action, this is an issue of national scope and importance.
It is critical for the nursery industry to not sit back and wait for reinvestment in our nation's transportation network. We must encourage Congress to pass solutions that work for the country, the environment and our nursery industry.

A Series of Moments by M.L. Broome
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Saga
Follow the Author
Jacob & Lilly. The heart wants what the heart wants. A modern-day romantic trilogy with plenty of steam, angst, twists and sob worth HEA.
From the Moment We Met | Book One
I'm currently hosting a self-imposed pity party. The reason? I've been robbed – of my dignity, my acting career, and my award statuette. I have my ex-girlfriend to thank for my recent debacle. Victoria is a world-famous singer who sank her claws not only into my skin but also my Hollywood reputation. Now, I've got one goal – repair the damage and get my life back.
The one thing I didn't count on in my return to Hollywood? Lilly Staver. That woman can burn me with her glare and melt me with her touch. My ego wants to hate her, my mind can't stop thinking about her, and don't even get me started on my heart. She's the one distraction I can't afford, but the heart wants what the heart wants. And I want Lilly.
Unguarded Moments | Book Two
I knew Jacob Edmonton would break my heart. I felt it from the moment we met, but I fell in love anyway. Apparently, I fell in love alone. When he was given a choice between our fledgling love affair and a blockbuster movie role, you can guess which one emerged the winner. I didn't stand a chance. Not between the beckoning of Hollywood's bright lights and Victoria's determination to win back her man.
At least he's thousands of kilometers from my side – filming on the pristine beaches of Greece. He started calling me again. He wants to be friends… and more. The man has a million promises, but he's also a world-class actor. I fell for him once, but I won't fall again, no matter how much my heart aches for Jacob.
Beautifully Broken Moments | Book Three
Yes, I did it. Do you think I'm sorry? I planned out every last detail and upended Jacob and Lilly's relationship with a single statement. Did I mention it was on international television? How wonderfully naïve; they thought I'd leave them to their happiness.
Despite my selfish conquest, I didn't expect the tragedy that occurred immediately afterward. None of us did. I wanted Lilly gone, but not in this manner. Now, Jacob is more determined than ever to remain by her side. I'll have to pull out all the stops to reclaim what's mine… regardless of the price Jacob and Lilly will have to pay.

I recently had the pleasure of assisting at a wedding at the Boston Public Library. This is such a beautiful venue, it never fails to impress!
Walking into the foyer and viewing the grand staircase, a person gets a feeling of the history that surrounds this unique wedding venue.
Not wanting to distract from the bride's natural beauty, and the intricate design of her dress, I kept her makeup simple but luxurious.
I received a lovely note from Cali:
"Dear Katrina,Thank you so much to you and your assistant for your beautiful job on our makeup. I loved getting to know you, and all of the girls loved the experience. "
Thank you Cali, if was our pleasure working with you and your gorgeous wedding party.

Animal adoption programmes focus on protecting wild animals
Your donation will typically be used to help protect and conserve an entire species, including the animals' habitat.
Other adoption programmes help to care for and rehabilitate animals that have been rescued or bred in captivity, sometimes for release back to the wild.
Whichever type of animal adoption you chose will be a valuable way of protecting and caring for animals into the future.
