In addition to access cards, Customers must have keys/access cards to their leased spaces. Security personnel are NOT permitted to unlock a leased area.
In the event that visitors require after-hours building access, please notify the Customer Center in advance, with names and company information so that access can be granted.
Customers are responsible for retrieving access cards from individuals no longer in their employ or who for any reason no longer require after-hours access. These cards are to be returned to the Security Office as soon as possible for cancellation.

The Customer Center maintains the electronic directory board on the First Floor Lobby of the building. There is an order form included in this handbook for your use in specifying the names you wish listed on the directory. When completed, the form should be returned to the Customer Center. Allow three working days for the installation of a directory listing. Directory listings are in the following format:

GRAPHICS (Suite Identification, Signs and Notices)
Building standard suite identification plaques are provided by the Landlord for the Customer's main entry. Additional lettering and suite numbers may be installed by an approved contractor designated by the Landlord at the Customer's expense. Any graphics other than the building standard suite identification plaque, must be approved by the Landlord prior to installation, particularly those graphics visible from the public areas of the building. There is an order form included in this handbook for use in specifying how you wish your company name to appear on the plaque. Please feel free to contact the Customer Center with any questions.
Please do not tape temporary or non-building standard signs to the building walls, suite doors, building or elevator lobby doors, or elevator walls.
New Customers generally receive two keys per entry lock free of charge, unless specified differently in the lease. Additional keys may be purchased by contacting the Customer Center. These keys are provided by Greenway's full-service locksmith shop. The shop employs qualified locksmiths to handle all keying and lock-related requirements. Requests for these services should be made through the Customer Center.
The Landlord must approve any alterations to locks. All locks must be keyed to the building's master key system and can only be done by Greenway Plaza's locksmiths.
These moving and delivery guidelines have been developed to ensure a safe and efficient move for you and your organization. Following these guidelines will expedite your move and protect the people handling the move as well as your property and the building itself. These guidelines are not meant to hamper or restrict your moving process, but rather to safeguard the elements involved in the process. We want your move to be as smooth as possible and would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Please call the Customer Center at (713) 622-6222.
Moving: Notify us as soon as possible as to the date and time of your scheduled move. The Customer Center must clear all moving arrangements and all moves are scheduled on a "first come, first served" basis. Major office moves may only occur on the weekends or after 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. All moves are to be made via a padded passenger elevator after regular business hours or on weekends. After-hours move activities are scheduled through the Customer Center and must be followed up with a written request no later than 24 hours the day before the scheduled activity. It is extremely important that a representative of your moving company contact the Customer Center well in advance of the anticipated moving date.
The moving contractor must provide a Certificate of Insurance prior to the move. The mover must be bonded and carry a minimum of $1,000,000 combined single limit, property damage, and public liability insurance and umbrella liability in the amount of $5,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate. In addition, the certificate must show the Building Owner, Parkway, Inc., as additional insured. We suggest that you secure a Certificate of Insurance for your firm as well.
Your moving contractor will be responsible for any damage to the building incurred during the move. To avoid unnecessary damage, we suggest that you pad or otherwise protect all entrances, doorways and walls affected by the move, and cover all floor surfaces traversed during the move with appropriate material. The mover is responsible for disposing of all trash, packing cartons and other materials used during the move. Additionally, any electrical problems or equipment breakdowns which occur during the move should be immediately reported to the Customer Center (713) 622-6222 and to Security (713) 965-2931.
There is a strict "No Smoking" policy in the building. Moving crewmembers are not permitted to smoke in any area of the building.
Deliveries: The loading zone area for this building is located on the west side of the building. This area can only be used after 5:30 p.m. for deliveries and scheduled moves. During the week and between the hours of 7:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, delivery trucks need to park along Plaza Drive B and enter the building on the west side to make their deliveries.
During the working day, Monday through Friday, the passenger elevators are used for the movement of small, routine deliveries. Large or lengthy deliveries are to be scheduled through the Customer Center, as passenger elevators are not taken out of service between 8:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. during the week.
All of these rules are designed to move the maximum amount of material through the loading dock into the buildings in the shortest possible time. Your cooperation is essential to this process, and we ask that you instruct your vendors to abide by these rules.
When Customer construction work is required within the leased premises, the Customer contacts the Customer Center via email sent to the Property Manager or through the Yardi Work Order System (See Building Services and Facilities Section, Maintenance Request in this handbook). The Customer must submit specific information regarding the scope of the work requested to the Property Manager. The Customer will then receive written approval from the Property Manager before any work can commence.
All work, whether major renovations or simply one electrical outlet, must be approved in advance. All work will be performed by an approved construction company. A firm price will be provided for the scope of the job, and all work will be completed to the satisfaction of both the Customer and the Property Manager.
Plumbing: Whenever plumbing service is required, please contact the Customer Center. All appliances such as icemakers, refrigerators, dishwashers, and water lines for coffee makers and wet bars must be properly maintained. Please report all water leaks to the Customer Center immediately.
Damage to Premises: Any damage to the premises done or caused by the Customer will be repaired by the Landlord at Customer's expense. This includes damage done to restroom plumbing caused by dumping coffee grinds or food into commodes or lavatories, or damage to building thermostats caused by employees attempting to adjust the temperature.
Services such as installation of communication, computer and alarm systems must also be approved by the Property Manager via email, phone request or through the Yardi Work Order System.
Greenway Plaza furnishes air conditioning and heating services during the normal hours of operation. Unless otherwise stated in your lease agreement, these hours are considered 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Saturdays upon request. Air conditioning and heating services during the evening, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are considered "overtime air" and are provided at Customer's expense upon request only. Overtime air must be requested in writing and faxed to the Customer Center at (713) 965-2950, Monday through Friday and no later than 2:00 p.m. on the evening it is required.
In an emergency, air may be requested after hours by calling Greenway Plaza Security at (713) 965-2931.
Only licensed engineers are permitted to operate or control mechanical equipment. Security personnel are not permitted to operate equipment. If at any time during standard hours of operation, it is felt that suite temperatures require adjustment, please call the Customer Center for engineering assistance. There are no adjustments available after hours. Under no circumstances should a Customer attempt to regulate the thermostat.
The use of space heaters is also expressly prohibited by The City of Houston Fire Code.
Elevator service is available 24 hours a day. After normal building hours, you must use your access card to access the elevators at the lobby level. If an elevator fails to operate properly, please notify the Customer Center or Greenway Plaza Security immediately.
If for some reason an elevator does malfunction and you are detained inside the elevator cab, remain calm. Modern elevator technology makes it virtually impossible for the elevator to fall. There is no physical danger in a stalled elevator, only the inconvenience of waiting to be released. Push the alarm button inside the elevator cab to notify the Security Dispatcher of your situation. You will be contacted through an intercom system and given instructions on what to do. The elevator maintenance company will be notified immediately and a technician dispatched to correct the problem. During business hours, these technicians are on-site and can respond very quickly. Building staff and/or Security will remain in constant contact to let you know what is being done.
Standard janitorial services are provided Monday through Friday during the evening hours. Special cleaning, other than the standard service and minor carpet spotting, is available at an extra cost to the Customer and requires scheduling through the Customer Center. Boxes (no more than six small or medium sized) to be disposed of should be flattened and stacked within the office space and marked "trash / basura." To dispose of large boxes or large quantities of boxes, special arrangements need to be made through the Customer Center.
Moving companies and vendors should be required by the Customer to remove their boxes from the premises after delivery. At no time should boxes, trash or excess materials and equipment be placed in hallways or lobbies. These areas are considered designated fire exits.
A copy of our Building Standard Cleaning Specifications is included in this handbook.
Maintenance requests or requests for service of any kind must be made by the customer through our customer software system, Yardi. The customer services feature is a convenience tool designed to optimize maintenance requests workflows, communications, performance, streamline billing, and much more between our Customers and Property Management.
You can login to this service by going to the greenway plaza website, www.greenwayplaza.com, click on the customer services tab and login under customer login section. This information will be provided, username and password, by your property administrative assistant at the customer care center.
Engineering and maintenance personnel are available Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For emergency maintenance after normal business hours, please contact the Greenway Plaza Security dispatch line at (713) 965-2931. This phone is answered 24 hours daily.
Some maintenance requests may require the use of an outside contractor/vendor. For those situations, you will receive an email from your building Administrative Assistant asking for authorization for the work to be done. Once you have given us authorization to schedule an outside vendor, we will solicit a cost estimate and choose the appropriate vendor. Work will begin only after we have received the email back from you giving your approval, unless the situation is an emergency and will require immediate repair.
A few examples of a request to call in outside vendors could possibly include small items such as; additional electrical outlets, plumbing repairs to private sinks, hanging white boards within your customer space, repairs to HVAC private units and other such requests. You will be billed after completion of the work that was scheduled and on your next available rental statement.
Standard Parking manages all visitor lots and garages. The main office is located at 4 Greenway Plaza, Concourse Level, Suite C-950, within the Transportation Center. The direct phone number is (713) 965-2980. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Standard Parking can provide you with brochures/maps, that will depict the main thoroughfares, visitor parking locations, entrances, exits, parking garage areas, and delivery areas. The parking and traffic control program has been designed to serve all persons working or visiting Greenway Plaza.
Please report changes of address, telephone number, employer, vehicle, license number, etc., to the Transportation Office.
Access Cards: Entrance to both the building and garage is gained by use of a single access card issued by Greenway Plaza Security. An intercom is located at the building and garage entrance card reader to assist Customers whose cards are not working or who have forgotten their cards. Greenway Plaza Security responds to these intercoms, 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week.
It is extremely important that you do not use your card to permit access to the garage for someone else. Doing so may mean suspension of your parking privileges. Only one vehicle per card is allowed into the parking garage.
A lost or stolen card must be reported to the Customer Center immediately. A fee may be required to replace the access card. This fee is to cover the cost of the access card and the administrative costs associated with reissuing the access card. This fee is not refundable and everyone is subject to this charge. Parkers are cautioned to keep their vehicles locked to avoid loss or theft of their access cards and/or personal property. Anyone finding an access card should return it to the Customer Center. Persons who find an access card and attempt to use it to park without paying may be charged with "theft of service".
Parking Fees: All parking fees are payable in advance. Persons purchasing access cards from the first of the month through the fifteenth of the month must pay for parking for the entire month. Persons purchasing a card from the sixteenth through the twenty-fourth of the month pay for parking for half of a month. Parking purchased from the twenty-fifth through the last day of a month receives free parking for the period if they purchase parking for the following month.
Persons who cancel their parking from the first through the fifteenth of the month will receive half of a month credit. Persons who cancel after the fifteenth of the month receive no credit. All cancellations must be made in writing and will be effective on the date received in the Greenway Transportation Office or the requested cancellation date, whichever is later.
Parking Spaces: Authorized parkers are entitled to one parking space. Vehicles parked over parking space lines may be subjected to ticketing and possible towing.
Certain spaces are designated for physically disabled persons. These spaces may be used only for vehicles displaying a license plate with the International Symbol of Accessibility that is issued by the City, and approved by the Transportation Office. All others will be towed away and/or subject to a fine.
Certain spaces are also designated for compact cars only. A compact car is defined as being less than six feet wide and sixteen and one half feet long. Only vehicles in this category should use these designated spaces.
Unauthorized vehicles parked in reserved spaces will be towed away without warning.
Oversized Vehicles: The Greenway Plaza Transportation Services Department will make an effort to provide parking for all types of vehicles. Oversized vehicles such as campers, vans, pick-up trucks, and / or buses or any other vehicle that has been modified to increase its size will be placed in a surface lot when available. No special accommodations will be made for drivers of these vehicles and no obligation for parking for these vehicles is assumed. All drivers need to be made aware of their vehicle height and take note of the posted clearance.
Motorcycles: Motorcycles may be parked in garages at a discounted rate if they use space not designated for vehicles and do not block vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Motorcycles are prohibited from parking on sidewalks.
Vehicles Requiring Service or Repair: The parking garages will not be used to perform repairs on any vehicle. Vehicles in need of repair must be towed from the garage to an appropriate facility. Flat tires, dead batteries and windshield chips are exceptions to the above. The owner/operator of a vehicle requiring towing must make arrangements with a towing service to have the vehicle removed. The Transportation Office should be notified that the towing service has permission to remove the vehicle.
Any parked vehicle that in the judgment of Garage Personnel creates a dangerous situation (for example, leaking gasoline) will be removed from the garage at the owner's expense.
Destruction of Property: Any person who damages any property in a garage (i.e., breaking a gate, removing signs, etc.) either willfully or by accident will be held financially responsible for repairs or replacement. Willful destruction may also result in permanent loss of parking privileges and/or criminal charges.
Tow-Away Zones: "No Parking" zones/areas are those indicated as such by signs, red striping, and any area not specifically designed for parking. Many streets within Greenway Plaza are FIRE LANES on both sides of the street. Parking in any of the above will result in immediate tow away. No warning will be given. These areas are patrolled and are strictly enforced. Please caution your visitors and employees to park in appropriate areas to avoid towing of their vehicles.
Automobiles are restricted from using these zones and will be towed away.
Improper Use of Vehicles: Vehicles parked within Greenway Plaza may not be used as living quarters even on a temporary basis. Additionally, animals may not be left unattended in vehicles.
Abandoned Vehicles: Any vehicle parked in a garage without being moved for a period of fourteen days will be considered abandoned and may be removed from the garage at the owner's expense. Evidence that the owner/operator of the vehicle is an authorized parker will not be considered.
Traffic Rules: All City of Houston and State of Texas traffic rules apply while driving in Greenway Plaza.
The maximum speed limit in any garage is 5 MPH. Lower speed limits may also be posted.
Any person receiving five or more violations in a twelve-month period may be suspended from parking within Greenway Plaza for an indefinite period.
Liability: Standard Parking, as operator of the Greenway Plaza parking facilities, shall not be responsible for any loss or damage to any vehicle or property therein or for injuries (fatal or non-fatal) to persons occurring within the parking areas or garages.
Pets of any kind are prohibited in all Greenway Plaza buildings. The pest control and cleaning services provided by the Customer Center does not cover expenses related to pets. Designated guide dogs are specifically excluded from this policy.
The United States Post Office serving Greenway Plaza is the Julius Melcher Station located at 2802 Timmons Lane. A full-service Postal Station is located in Greenway Plaza, Phase I, retail mall (concourse level) near Three Greenway Plaza.

Articles too large for a Customer's mailbox are placed in a parcel locker, and a key for the locker is placed in the Customer's mailbox. The key should be removed from the box, used to unlock the corresponding locker, and left in the lock to be removed later by the carrier. Customers requiring the use of four-wheeled mail carts must properly pad the carts for use in passenger elevators.
Firm Name
Two Greenway Plaza, Suite _________
Houston, Texas 77046
(All Greenway Plaza addresses utilize zip code 77046 except for 3800 Buffalo Speedway which is 77098 and Phoenix Tower which is 77027.)
A reception or an "open house" involves additional parking, air conditioning/heating, cleaning, and security. These services are coordinated through the Customer Center. Two City of Houston policemen must be on the premises when alcoholic beverages are served. These policemen are paid directly by the Customer, but are arranged by the Customer Center. We encourage you to contact the Customer Center as soon as possible during the planning stages for your event, so that we can assist you.
Miscellaneous bill-backs are delivered on or about the third week of the month prior to the due date to allow ample time for review. Payment is due on or before the first of each month. Interest is charged at the rate specified in the lease, if payment has not been received by the fifth day of the month. All miscellaneous bill back payments should be mailed directly to the lockbox address shown on the invoice.
Solicitation is not allowed anywhere within Greenway Plaza. Please notify the Customer Center or Security immediately if you notice a solicitor within the building. Try to provide as much specific information about the person's appearance and behavior as you can. Security will locate the person as quickly as possible and escort him/her off the premises.
Report any suspected theft, no matter how small, to the Customer Center immediately. You may also notify the Police Department; since it is possible that they may be investigating thefts in other office buildings and your report may help them complete their investigation more effectively. The building's insurance policy does not cover the theft of Customer's personal belongings. Personal property insurance is the responsibility of each Customer.
Should theft occur:
- Notify Security at (713) 965-2931.
- Notify the Customer Center at (713) 622-6222.
- Notify the Police.
Security officers will complete an incident report recording the details of any accident, theft, or injury that occurs on the property. Please notify the Customer Center as soon as an incident occurs so that an investigation can begin. Your cooperation in answering all questions pertaining to the incident will be appreciated.
Security often involves common sense. Because any building system is only as effective as the people that are relying on it, we encourage you to review these security reminders to help you avoid unnecessary loss and problems within your suite.
When you secure the premises at the end of the business day, verify that all doors are properly locked. We recommend locking your suite entry door after 5 p.m. even if people are working late.
Do not leave briefcases or handbags in clear view. Coats should be hung in a coat closet since thieves often rifle through pockets looking for keys or money. Do not leave wallets in jackets hanging on chair backs and other articles of value unguarded even for a few minutes. Small articles left in plain view, are easy targets for thieves.
Notify the Customer Center or Security immediately if you notice a suspicious person loitering in or about your premises. Be suspicious of any person who enters your suite and when confronted makes excuses that they are lost or looking for another company.
Offices are most vulnerable to thieves during lunchtime and right before closing. At these times, there is often a lot of movement, and people are frequently away from their desks.
Put serial numbers on all business equipment to aid police in locating the equipment if it is stolen.
If an employee is terminated for any reason, consider changing cylinders on the lock, resetting any safe or vault combinations and canceling security access codes.
Keys kept on a key ring should never have an identifying tag. If they are lost, they may easily be used by thieves to access your property.
Never leave your reception area unattended when your suite entry door is unlocked.
When entering the building after hours, never allow a person to enter the door or elevator behind you without using their security card. If this should occur, please notify security immediately with a description and location of the person.
Each Customer at move-in is asked to complete a CUSTOMER CONTACT & INFORMATION FORM. This form is simply a list of Customer contact names and home phone numbers to be used in case of an emergency. These names and phone numbers are kept in a confidential file. This information should be updated any time there are changes in personnel information when the emergency contact names change due to personnel changes. A copy of this form is included in this handbook and an electronic format of this form can be obtained by contacting the Customer Center.
In case of a prolonged emergency such as a hurricane, Cousins will activate its Emergency Response Number, 1 (844) 863-7053 or (832) 413-6434. This is a recorded message, updated as new information becomes available, to keep our Customers informed of conditions in their buildings and at Greenway Plaza.
In an effort to ensure that all customers on the Greenway Plaza Campus are properly and timely notified when an emergency develops in the area, we have developed a mass notification system that allows us to contact you, our Customer via cell phone, work phone, home phone, and email or by text message. If you would like to participate in this plan, you will need to fill out the necessary information on the notice provided, that is required to include individuals from your company in this notification plan.
The safety and security of Customers in Greenway buildings are our highest management priorities. With this interest for your safety in mind, we have provided you with abbreviated instructions on emergency procedures.
Bomb threats are frequent in major cities. Fortunately, the vast majority of threats are hoaxes called in by practical jokers, children, or disgruntled employees. Unfortunately, it is difficult to sort the hoax call from the genuine threat.
At the mention of a bomb, fear can create panic resulting in greater injury than the explosion. Additionally, significant financial losses result from evacuation procedures, workers being sent home, and reduced productivity upon their return. Greenway Plaza has a perimeter access control system in place. Customers, guests, service providers, as well as building management personnel are encouraged to be aware of suspicious persons wandering about in offices, corridors and restrooms. Suspicious persons should be reported to Central Security Control at (713) 965-2931 day or night.
Delivery people and repairmen should be monitored while in your office. Do not leave your office unattended and unlocked for any reason. Comply with building security access control measures. All persons entering the building after hours are required to use a valid building access card, or be cleared through the Customer Center by the Customer Contact prior to close of business.
It is recommended the Customers develop their own Bomb Threat Action Plan to be followed upon receipt of a threat. Persons participating in these plans should be carefully selected.
Secretaries and receptionists generally receive most bomb threats and should be trained to react calmly.
A prepared Bomb Threat Checklist is included in this handbook. The following procedures are valuable when a bomb threat is received:
- The individual receiving the call should remain calm and obtain as much information from the caller as possible. It is important to keep the caller talking.
- Call 911. State your name, company, address, telephone number and what the caller said.
- Notify the Customer Center at (713) 622-6222 or Greenway Security at (713) 965-2931 and report the same information.
- Evaluate the seriousness of the threat based on available information. Should your evaluation warrant, conduct a search for the bomb. Employees should survey their own work areas; however, nothing out of the ordinary should be touched. Building personnel will report to the affected areas and search the stairways, corridors, restrooms, elevators and elevator shafts, equipment rooms, etc. If a suspicious object is discovered, trained police bomb-squad personnel will take charge.
- Consider the need to evacuate in accordance with your Company Action Plan. If evacuation is deemed necessary, employees should be notified in a calm, deliberate manner. The Customer Center must be notified so that other Customers can be informed of the threat.
- Partial evacuation of the building may be necessary when a bomb threat is directed to a specific floor. A partial evacuation includes the threatened floor, the floor immediately above and the floor immediately below. The evacuation should be away from the threatened floor and not through it. Personnel on the floor above the threatened floor should evacuate to higher floors. Personnel on the floor below the threatened floor should evacuate to lower floors. Stairways should be used for evacuation rather than elevators. Only disabled persons should utilize the elevators during bomb-threat evacuations.
- General evacuation of the building may be necessary when the threat is directed to the entire building. Should a general evacuation be required, Customers will be notified by telephone, public address announcement, messenger, or all three. General evacuations are conducted in the same manner as fire evacuations. In some cases, authorities investigating the incident may have questions regarding a Customer's suite and/or object found therein.
- If a bomb is not discovered and the police indicate that no further hazard exists, personnel may reenter the building at their own discretion. The Customer Center should be notified of intent to reenter.
Civil disturbances are not easily categorized. Depending on the organization responsible for the disturbance, they may range from calm groups of picketers to violent destructive mobs. Frequently, calm groups escalate to violent mobs. Eliminating the threat of violence and destruction is the goal of this section.
Often, political interest groups, disgruntled employees and striking employees will let it be known that they intend to demonstrate, picket, etc., at a certain location. Should you receive such information, please communicate it to the Customer Center immediately.
It is recommended that Customers develop their own Civil Disturbance Action Plan to inform and safeguard their employees.
In the event of a disturbance, the following procedures should be followed:
- Call the Police and state:
- Your name and company name.
- Location of the disturbance.
- Size of the group.
- Type of demonstration.
- Call the Customer Center at (713) 622-6222 with the same information.
- Instruct employees to avoid communicating with the demonstrators, antagonizing the demonstrators or aggravating the situation in any way.
The necessity of evacuating is not probable; however, should evacuation be deemed necessary by the Customer, assistance will be given to the Customer by the building's Emergency Action Team.
To Report a FIRE
Any individual seeing FLAMES or SMOKE, or if it is reported, should:
- Isolate (close the door) or extinguish the fire if you can do so safely.
Call 911, and provide the following information:
- Name
- Company
- Telephone number
- Building
- Suite
- Location of Fire
- Remain on the line, if possible, and answer any questions. LET THE 911 DISPATCHER HANG UP FIRST.
- Call Greenway Plaza Central Security Control (713-965-2931), and provide the following information:
- Name
- Company
- Telephone number
- Building
- Suite
- Location of Fire
Remain on the line, if possible, and answer any questions.
Hurricanes are a potential threat from June through November in the Houston area and often cause electrical power to be disrupted. Reliant Energy provides both primary and secondary power sources to Greenway Plaza. During loss of primary power, Reliant Energy works to restore service via a secondary source. Customers with vital energy power requirements should consider auxiliary generators for their own use. Telephone service may be interrupted during severe weather. Telephone companies have the capability of installing emergency service lines to Customers having compatible switching equipment. Customers requiring emergency service should ask their telephone representative for specific information.
The U.S. Weather Service reports the movement of tropical depressions that may present a threat to the Gulf Coast area. Given an early alert, certain steps should be taken to prepare for a hurricane.
- Obtain emergency equipment - flashlights and fresh batteries, first aid kits for treatment of minor cuts caused by flying glass, tarpaulins to cover office furniture and filing cabinets, and battery-operated radios.
- Clear desk and table tops of books, papers, staplers, pencil holders, etc.; move furniture away from windows and cover with tarpaulins; remove drapes; move adding machines, computers, etc., to inside offices. The building Emergency Action Team will remove all potential flying objects from public areas.
Should a tropical depression escalate to a hurricane, report any leaks, structural damage, etc., to the Customer Center. The building will be patrolled constantly by Security and Building Management personnel to detect damage. Emergency repairs will be made as weather permits.
Customers are discouraged from remaining in the building during the storm and should arrange for employees to leave in time to secure their homes. Notify the Customer Center of your intent to evacuate. Parking areas will have additional manpower to assist persons departing the premises.
Hurricanes are often characterized by violent weather, a calm period, and a resumption of violent weather. Do not assume too quickly that the adverse weather has ended. Customers should not attempt to reenter the building until all danger has passed.
After the storm, please report all safety hazards such as exposed wiring, broken glass, etc., to the Customer Center. The building's Emergency Action Team will conduct a thorough search for safety hazards and repairs will be made as quickly as possible.
The most important aspect of medical emergency response is speed of notification and escorting professional emergency personnel to the appropriate areas as quickly as possible.
Medical emergencies can range in complexity and severity. All reports should be taken seriously and handled with appropriate level of response and professionalism.
It is in the best interest of building occupants, Greenway Plaza, civil authorities and the public, that these site-specific policies and procedures have been established to enable management and others to:
- Minimize risk to the life safety of building occupants
- Minimize operational disruption
- Maintain complex security
- Accurately inform appropriate parties
If detection is via a phone call to the Property Management Office, the phone call recipient should immediately call 911 if necessary, then immediately call Greenway Plaza Security dispatch (713) 965-2931 and give the following information:
- Type of medical emergency, if known
- Location
- Whether the individual is conscious
- Whether the individual is breathing
It is recommended that Customers keep first aid kits and bottled oxygen on hand for emergency use.
Greenway Plaza buildings have been designed to minimize the risk of a general power failure resulting from causes within the building. Should a power failure occur, it typically will affect either an isolated area of the building or a large geographic area of which the building is a part.
All suites and public areas are equipped with independently powered exit signs and emergency lights. These will remain lit in a general power failure, but may only last for a limited time period, usually 45 minutes.
In the event of an electrical failure, please observe the following guidelines:
- Contact the Customer Center.
- Open draperies and raise blinds to let in outside light. If there is adequate lighting from windows, continue to perform assigned tasks as well as possible.
- If you are instructed to evacuate the building, lock all areas of your premises.
- Do not congregate in the lobby areas or in the street.
- If you are trapped in an elevator during a power failure, do not panic. Wait for assistance. Your elevator may cease operation, but will not fail. Do not attempt to force the doors open or escape through the roof hatch. Use the red button in the elevator to signal Security and to notify them of your location. The buildings are equipped with emergency generators, which will activate within a few minutes furnishing power to the elevators. The elevator will then travel to the selected floor and the doors will open.
Evacuation – Power Outage
This phase deals with the movement of people. A complete evacuation involves the removal of all occupants from the building(s). A partial evacuation may involve either the relocation of occupants to unaffected areas or removal from the building of only those occupants in the affected areas.
In the event of an extended power outage, buildings may need to be fully or partially evacuated. The Fire/Safety Warden should direct evacuation procedures as outlined in the HFD-approved BERP. The Fire/Safety Warden should direct the evacuation of individual floors in accordance with directions and the BERP.
Special Instructions for the Mobility-impaired
Persons having any mobility impairment should be considered prior to any need for evacuation. Fire/Safety Wardens should notify the Property Manager of any mobility-impaired customers that may require special assistance in the event of an evacuation. A list will be maintained in the ICC and updated as necessary by the building Property Manager.
Customers not requiring assistance and that are not going to assist should evacuate first. This avoids the possibility of persons in need of assistance being bumped and falling down, thus slowing evacuation and/or causing injury. The BERP should assist in evacuating the mobility-impaired if danger is imminent and it is safe to do so.
The Customer Center will notify you as soon as possible when power will be restored.

Discussion in 'Installation/Configuration' started by chaloum, Jun 21, 2013.
Are there any instructions around on configuring varnish with ISPConfig 3?
There's a guide there, but it's in Portugese. It seemed fairly comprehensible when run through Google Translate though.
A quick glance suggests it says follow one of the howtoforge CentOS + Nginx + ISPconfig tutorials, and then provides some extra info on configuring it for Varnish.
Separate names with a comma.

Between 1887 and 1996, the privately owned Jamaica Water Supply Company (JWS) operated a group of wells that served the communities of southeastern Queens and portions of Nassau County. In 1996, New York City purchased the Queens portion of the JWS and took responsibility for the delivery of drinking water to those communities served by the groundwater wells. After acquiring the JWS wells, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) renamed the group of wells the groundwater supply system.
Located in southeastern Queens, the groundwater supply system consists of 68 supply wells at 44 well stations and several water storage tanks. Most of the system has not operated in more than 10 years, but the groundwater supply system did provide water to a limited portion of the city's distribution system in Queens until 2007. When online, residents within the service area received groundwater or a mix of ground and surface waters depending on demand and supply availability.
There were no wells in operation in 2013:
An aquifer is a natural underground layer of porous, water-bearing materials (sand, gravel) usually capable of yielding a large supply of water. Three aquifers run the length of Long Island, which includes Brooklyn and Queens Counties: the Upper Glacial, which is the shallowest; the Magothy, which is the middle layer; and the Lloyd, which is the deepest. Formed approximately 60 million years ago, the three aquifers are separated by layers of clay.
All groundwater entering New York City's distribution system is treated with chlorine, fluoride, food grade phosphoric acid, and, in some cases, sodium hydroxide. New York City uses chlorine to meet the New York State Sanitary Code and federal Safe Drinking Water Act disinfection requirements. Fluoride, at a concentration of approximately one part per million, is added to help prevent tooth decay and has been added since 1966 in accordance with the New York City Health Code. Phosphoric acid is added to create a protective film on pipes that reduces the release of metals such as lead and copper from household plumbing. Additionally, a sequestering phosphate or a silicate is applied at several wells to prevent the precipitation of naturally occurring minerals, mostly iron and manganese, in the distribution mains and customers' household piping. The application depends upon the iron level in the well. Air stripper facilities can be operated at several wells to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
The 68 wells which comprise the groundwater supply system were not used for drinking water distribution in 2013.
Individual Well Information:
DEP assigns index numbers to sampling locations throughout the distribution system. The nomenclature of the index for a well sample location signifies the status of the water at a specific tap. An index number followed by the letters E, F or T denotes sampling sites that are treated, or finished groundwater. Well index numbers that have no letter after the number, or are followed only by the letters A, B, C, D, I or S are considered untreated, or raw water. Examples of untreated water IDs are W5 and W23A. Examples of treated water are W5E and W23AT. The following table illustrates this in greater detail:
There were no wells in operation in 2013; therefore there are no 2013 Groundwater Supplemental data available. Previous years' data are available at the links provided below.

I made a new ssl in ispconfig and signed it at GoDaddy wildcard SSL (the cheapest not extended tralala validation etc) and implemented it successfully on my website and it works on all subdomains perfect with trusted green bar etc. So now I have csr, srt and key files in my ssl folder of that website. As I also want to use it for SMTP, IMAPs, POPs, sFTP, the ispConfig cp and EVERY OTHER thing you can imagine Can I just copy the files I hve in that web SSL directory to the ISP config SSL directory and rename them? I read many on this forum, but none of the answers seem to work... Thanks in advance for helping me.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli leaders on Thursday welcomed news that Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires had been selected as the new pope.
Bergoglio will be sworn in as Pope Francis I next week.
"The new pope will be welcomed in the Holy Land with love and appreciation by Jews, Muslims and Christians as one," said Israeli President Shimon Peres.
Anti-Defamation League President Abe Foxman said he was "reassured" over the new pope's record regarding the Jews, and Rabbi David Rosen of American Jewish Committee labeled the incoming pontiff a "warm and sweet and modest man."
As archbishop of Buenos Aires, Bergoglio had good relations with the local Jewish community. He attended a Rosh Hashanah celebration at a local synagogue in 2007, and for years has led solidarity efforts and calls for justice in respect to the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center.
Many Jews were concerned that only a European pope who had lived through the Holocaust could truly appreciate the history of the Jews vis-a-vis the Church, and that popes John Paul and Benedict XVI would be the last to truly foster strong Jewish-Catholic relations.
But those concerns have been put to rest with the selection of Pope Francis I, who is being universally praised for his down-to-earth and genuinely sympathetic nature.

I want one of my sites https only. http requests should be redirected to https. https works without problems, bit i cant find a way to redirect http to https or disable http for that site at least. i allready tried to use the isp redirect settings for my domain with the result of an endles redirect i even tried to add a redirect block with the config option to add custom directives to nginx vhost config but that does not work as the block would be after the actual vhost block and so never matched as the block itself matches :/ so: is there a way to disable http or redirect http -> https? thanks in advance

Oceanport, N.J.- Irish Politics showed his heels to the rest of the field of 2-year-old state-breds when he last raced, and on Saturday he'll be back at Monmouth Park campaigning for a divisional championship bestowed by the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association of New Jersey at year's end.
The Graham Motion-trainee is one of the standouts in the field of 15 entered (12 can start) in the $60,000 Jersey Juvenile restricted to New Jersey-breds, and the winner traditionally garners the majority of votes for the top honors. Usually the Jersey Juvenile is run in separate divisions, with one for fillies and the other for colts and geldings, but this time around both sexes will compete in the same race.
"You never know with lightly raced two-year-olds, that's for sure," Motion said. "But I am a little surprised by how well he's done sprinting. I thought we wouldn't see the best of him until we sent him a little farther, so in that respect he's been a pleasant surprise."
Irish Politics, who is by Political Force out of the Polish Numbers mare Irish Sovereign, is an Isabelle Haskell de Tomaso homebred. Although she resides in Modena, Italy for part of the year, she and her sister, Hope Haskell Jones, remain involved in breeding horses and racing them at the track where they grew up. Their father, Amory Haskell, was the president and chairman of the board of Monmouth Park from 1946 until his death in 1966.
"They are tremendous ladies to train for," said Motion. "I have a couple of horses for both of them and they are just a real pleasure. You're always flattered when people like that ask you to train their horses. It's nice to have some Jersey-breds in the barn, too."
Visionary Ruler, who is trained by Bret Calhoun, appears to be another stand-out in the field. He has raced twice, each time against state-breds his age at Monmouth Park, and broke his maiden last out on August 12 in an effort that was a huge move forward from his initial try. In fact, he beat Irish Politics that day.
"We didn't have him as tight as we would have liked the first time he ran, but it was a New Jersey-bred race, so we figured we might as well take a shot instead of running him against open company. The second time he ran he was a lot more fit," said Tom Morgan, the assistant to Calhoun. "We expected him to improve off that effort, but we really didn't expect it would be by that much."
Morgan said that the Jersey Juvenile could be a "Catch-22" situation for the son of Pollard's Vision because that win came almost two months ago and they haven't been able to find a suitable spot for him since.
"It's been a long time since he ran and a lot of the others in the field have more recent experience," he said. "But he's a nice horse. He's working really well here and doing really good right now, so we'll see."

|John Mann at the grave of Nancy Power Mann, circa 1893
This is the most interesting, powerful and moving image I have found in my genealogy research to date. This is John William Mann, my great, great, great grandfather, standing at the grave of his wife of 52 years, my great, great, great grandmother Nancy Power Mann.
I found this image on Ancestry.com. It had been uploaded (it turns out) by my fourth cousin once removed, who lives in Washington state, and she graciously allowed me to use it here. The best part about it is the grave is in Woodside Cemetery - just 20 minutes from my house in Minnesota!
My mom and I had gone graveyard hopping just a few months before at this very cemetery, but I apparently hadn't looked over the transcription list very closely (learned a lesson there - be prepared before you go!) We had found my great, great grandparents' stone, pictured right, (John and Nancy's daughter Ann Mann Aldritt and her husband), but missed this one entirely, even though it was only about 30 feet away. (You can even see it in the background of the picture I took of their daughter's stone in May!)
So of course we had to go back!
And one hundred and seventeen years later, here's what the plot looks like today, compared to that image:
|One hundred seventeen years later
In 2010, the plot looks a little forlorn. The stones surrounding Nancy's grave and the small headstone on her plot are gone, as is the urn that stood at the top of the family headstone.
But even though my daughter giggled about trying to look as serious as John Mann, I still felt a certain connectedness to my 3x ggrandfather as she posed there in the same spot where he had stood. Lauren wondered if John had ever imagined that 117 years and six generations later, she would be standing right there. I told her I don't know if he could've imagined her!Then she wondered if in another hundred-or-so years her great, great, great, great granddaughter might be standing right there. That's a pretty neat thought (especially for an 11-year-old), and I hope it comes true some day!

UPPER WEST SIDE — Two Upper West Side Catholic elementary schools could close as soon as next June, according to the Archdiocese of New York, which is in the midst of reorganizing more than two dozen schools in the greater New York City region.
A November report from the Archdiocese states that "26 out of 159 regionalized, parish and Archdiocesan elementary schools are at risk of closure in June 2013" because of declining enrollment.
In Manhattan, Annunciation School on West 131st Street; Holy Cross School on West 43rd Street; Holy Name of Jesus on West 97th Street; St. Gregory the Great on West 90th Street; St. James-St. Joseph in Chinatown at 1 Monroe St.; and St. Jude School on West 204th Street are at risk.
With the threat of closure looming — a final decision will be reached by the end of January — parents are scrambling to organize and fundraise to cover widening budget gaps. Parents at Holy Name of Jesus School said they hope to raise $400,000 and are meeting regularly to search for solutions.
Families at Holy Cross School have launched a "Save Our School" campaign asking for personal donations.
Holy Name of Jesus, which charges $4,000 per year, had 230 students this year, compared to 600 nine years ago, according to Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for the Archdiocese.
"There has been a drop-off in that school, so the idea is to make sure that we don't let these schools just wither and die on their own," Zwilling said.
Part of the Archdiocese's plan is to combine several schools and have multiple parishes responsible for each school.
Zwilling said that the decline in attendance was due to a variety of factors, including perennially changing neighborhoods.
"There might be a charter school that opened up. There might be a population that has aged," he said.
Venus Trujillo said her son started kindergarten this year at Holy Name of Jesus and is thriving.
"Come June we have to scramble to find new schools," she said. "It's very upsetting."
Trujillo said she and other parents are angry that the Archdiocese didn't come to the school to announce the closing.
"The Archdiocese needs to come see what Holy Name offers," she said.
"Our children participate in science fairs, pumpkin contests, walkathons, as well as art fairs. We have science labs, computer labs and smartboards in every classroom."
Zwilling said the next step in the Archdiocese's plan is to "have meetings with the parents of any of these affected schools," and that "the school communities will have an opportunity to respond" and to make their case to the Archdiocese.
However, he cautioned, "getting these recommendations [for closure] changed would take some convincing."

Actor, rapper and TV personality Nick Cannon had a bit of an awkward encounter with his former fiancée Selita Ebanks recently when they were seated next to each other on a talk show.
The one-time couple appeared on Thursday's pre-taped episode of Katie as part of an ensemble interview with the cast of comedy reality show "Real Husbands of Hollywood," and Cannon and model-actress Ebanks found themselves sitting side by side for the chat.
Co-stars Nelly and Boris Kodjoe noticed the awkward seating arrangement and began laughing as Ebanks made the first move and greeted Cannon, saying, "Hi, how are you?"
Addressing the "elephant in the room," Cannon smoothed over the situation and explained to the studio audience, "So we'll just clear this all up. We used to be engaged, so it's not an awkward moment. They're laughing that we're sitting next to each other."
Cannon, who is now married to superstar Mariah Carey, then put his arm around Ebanks and gave her a hug, before adding, "But we're cool. We're friends."
The "America's Got Talent" host split from former Victoria's Secret stunner Ebanks in October, 2007, seven months before he wed Carey in the Caribbean.
They both star on funny man Kevin Hart's "Real Husbands of Hollywood," but rarely share scenes together.

The first part of "The Escape Artist," airing tonight on "Masterpiece: Mystery," is a bit of a misdirection.
Written by David Wolstencroft ("Spooks"), this thriller begins as a legal drama and slowly turns into being about something much more primal.
It stars the always interesting David Tennant, who will be seen in this fall's "Gracepoint" on Fox. He plays slick defense lawyer Will Burton, whose clever tactics can get even the most obvious guilty off.
Everyone deserves a defense, he reasons. For this he is rewarded with a life is close to a fairy tale, with a beautiful wife (Ashley Jensen), and a son, a posh home in London, a cottage in the country and the adoration of most of his peers — at least those not envious of him.
One of those would be Maggie Gardner (Sophie Okonedo from "Hotel Rwanda"), who has spent much of her life finishing second to him, either in school or in the courtroom.
Then Will is given the case of Liam Foyle (Toby Kebbell), accused of the brutal torture and killing of a young woman.
There is clearly something off about the man. The apartment full of birds and his admittedly antisocial feelings are easy to spot, but Kebbell gives Liam an air of suppressed menace, like a predator sizing up his prey.
"Have you seen the pictures?" Will asks a colleague about photos of the victim. "She was alive for most of it."
Despite his obvious distaste for Liam, the attorney stays the course — this is what he gets pays for, after all — and finds a way to have the case thrown out over a point involving whether Liam had visited porn websites that specialized in torture.
Afterward, Liam, who has a smugness to him, tries to shake Will's hand to thank him, but the lawyer, who had previously exhibited his own smugness, draws the line at touching such an obvious degenerate and walks away. This is where the story takes off.
What follows are some wild twists and turns — a few fairly grisly, though most are not shown.
Tennant is marvelous at negotiating these, with Will suddenly finding himself at the wrong end of some kind of weird karmic justice.
Okonedo is quite good as Maggie, who lets ambition and jealousy take over while trying to tamp down her conscience. Kebbell is simply chilling.
The dark "The Escape Artist" occasionally stretches plot points, but it always quickly snaps back and keeps you guessing until the end.

Lattman and Peterson, July 26, 2006
Right: Lawrence Lattman and W. Dennis Peterson, 2006
by Valerie Kimble
Dr. Laurence Lattman, former president of New Mexico Tech, chatted with W. Dennis Peterson in New Mexico Tech's Brown Hall administrative building last Friday, July 14. Lattman was on campus for the retirement party for Harvey Wilds, former Associate Vice President for Finance. Wilds retired with 24 years of service for the university.
Peterson and Lattman worked together at the University of Utah and later at the Socorro university. Peterson retired on July 1, 2006, as New Mexico Tech's Vice President for Administration and Finance, a post he held for 25 years in addition to being the university's chief legislative lobbyist. Lattman served as Tech's President from 1983 to 1993, prior to the administration of current president, Dr. Daniel H. López.
[Note: Peterson is still working at New Mexico Tech, as a Special Consultant to the President.]

Alternately you could include articles written in periodicals as well as short stories, or poems that could have appear in collections.
No matter how you choose to define your collection, you will need to learn what has been written by that particular author and when those various editions were published. This can be done by finding an appropriate bibliography. A bibliography is a systematic list of books and other works published by an author. Bibliographies are common and can be found by searching various library catalogs. Beware of out-of-date bibliographies for modern writers.
Research your author's bibliography:
AbeBooks regularly writes features focusing on the collectability of various authors.

Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult for the credit union industry to discuss the NCUA board's regulatory rulemaking without a profusion of expletives. The NCUA's regulatory pendulum has swung from the overly permissive cheerleading that led to the corporate credit union crisis to the opposite extreme of paralyzing restrictions and business plan- impaling prohibitions. This unending flood of rigid and restrictive rules leaves little doubt that the NCUA board intends to zealously micromanage federally insured credit unions in a compelling demonstration of interventionist government run amok.
In just a few short months of rulemaking, the NCUA has scolded federal credit unions about their financially illiterate boards of directors, reduced legal protections for volunteer board members, made mergers and conversions more complicated and costly, decreed that the NCUA board and senior staff rather than credit union officials know what's best for every credit union's members, and asserted that credit unions are not smart enough to decide how many corporate credit unions to which to belong, if any. The NCUA board has also promulgated new rules concerning executive compensation and the use of ratings agencies and established implementation plans for other mandates in the ill-conceived Dodd-Frank Act, such as requiring credit unions to have gender and ethnic diversity policies–with many more burdens to come. And that is just the short list of the credit union industry's regulatory grievances.
As an example of the agency's micromanaging at its worst, the comment period recently closed for the NCUA's proposed new follow-up rules affecting corporate credit unions. It appeared from the 150 comment letters that the two least popular provisions were the one limiting retail credit unions to membership in only one corporate credit union and the one that would require "voluntary" payments for the corporate crisis stabilization from CUSOs, trade associations, cooperatives, and nonfederally insured credit unions–and their expulsion from membership if they didn't pay up. The NCUA-mandated expulsion looks eerily like a public pillorying characteristic of puritanical colonial times–more suitable for drunkards and witches than for responsibly governed financial institutions.
It would appear that the NCUA board deliberately went out of its way to dramatize what regulatory overreach was all about by upsetting just about everybody in the industry with these two needless and harmful proposed rules. Many of the comment letters severely chastised the NCUA board for its proposals–using words like disingenuous, noncompetitive, anti-free market, inappropriate, inequitable, ill-conceived, nonsensical, unreasonable, unlawful, unfair, unwise, shocking, socialist, heavy-handed, overreaching, sham, shakedown, strong arming and even extortion. The NCUA board has initiated a number of responsible actions to mitigate the corporate credit union crisis, but this proposal isn't among them. It's harmful, it's unfair, and it's bad public policy. But despite the opposing comment letters it looks like the credit union industry will get stuck with this regulatory overkill.
To adherents of free enterprise it is inappropriate to make the NCUA the marketplace's judge, jury and executioner. As it applies to rulemaking, the NCUA board should be a hands-off, arms-length regulator that does not force feed its own often ideologically partisan concept of what is best for credit unions. NCUA's appropriate role in the rulemaking process is a simple one: protect the safety and soundness of consumer members' savings while staying out of the way of strategic business decisions made by individual credit unions. The NCUA board should minimize regulatory obstacles, reduce compliance burdens and facilitate local business decisions. Instead the NCUA's top-down micromanaging has itself become unmanageable.
Backed into a corner, many in the credit union industry believe that legal challenges are the only effective way to halt the NCUA's dangerously restrictive rulemaking juggernaut. As an alternative, one can naively cross one's fingers and hope that the NCUA board's currently misaligned rulemaking pendulum has reached its farthest point and will soon swing back to a more balanced approach. Unless the NCUA reverses its gone-too-far rulemaking trajectory soon, the credit union industry's evolutionary clock will end up going cuckoo as a result of the NCUA's extreme intervention. According to the doomsday clock hanging precariously on NCUA's wall, the industry is running out of time to cure this Salvador Dali-esque rulemaking psychosis.

I am interested in bringing history to life through telling a story using fictional characters in a well researched historical plot. I am going to explore the historical fiction genre to see how useful it is in honing in on aspects of history which are often overlooked or brushed aside by mainstream historians.

Why write historical fiction when you can write history?
I fully intended writing history when I embarked on a study of the Irish population of Ballarat in the second half of the nineteenth century for my Doctor of Philosophy degree, but when I was invited by the University of Ballarat's Professor Kevin Livingston to present my research in the form of a novel I jumped at the chance.
The Irish in ballarat were my people. My mother's ancestry was full of Irish names like O'Farrell, Daly and Dolan. Most were from Counties Cork or Clare and had left Ireland in the wake of the Great Potato Famine but were in Victoria before gold was discovered. They were probably tenant farmers for one of the two irish entrepreneurs granted special surveys of large tracts of rich volcanic soil in the Western District around Port fairy and Koroit.
The Irish in my father's family tree is less obvious among the English, Scots and German names, but it is there nevertheless. His English forebears were in Portland where the Henty family had established themselves in the 1830s, and were already established as grain and chaff merchants in Ballarat before the first sparks of rebellion began to fly in 1854. There is no record of them taking part in any of the protest meetings or of swearing allegiance to the Southern Cross. Perhaps they were onlookers or perhaps they kept right away on that fateful day.
Having been given permission to write about the people to whom my ancestors belonged I had to find a place to begin my research. More on that later.

Interesting post.ReplyDelete
My mom's people were from Iceland and we've traced our family back to 850--all were farmers.
Researching my dad's side of the family (English, Welsh and Irish) has been more challenging. However, we were able discover that that the Cronleys lived in county Mayo.
Thankfully, for me, others have invested much time and money in this search.
Good luck with your research.
Much of the research I have done about my own family has found its way into the fiction I write. The ghost in my famine novel Brigid was based on stories my mother told about her great aunt. Some of the characters drinking in the bar of the Globe Hotel in The Liberator's Birthday could have been my relatives. The rest came from the research I was doing about the Irish who followed the gold to Australia. I enjoy writing historical fiction as much as I enjoy writing history.ReplyDelete
