Hendon Football Club have a Norwegian branch of their Supporters Club and six members were in attendance as the Greens made it four wins out of four on Bank Holiday Monday.
Geir Adge Holen, Erik Berntzzen, Rolf Erik Eriksen, Geir Borghov Tommy Lervang and Olav Buø watched Hendon beat Harrow Borough 3-2 and then, as they were taking photos of the ground at Vale Farm, they were thrilled to hear the Norwegian national anthem being played in their honour.
Hendon's support is truly worldwide, with fans in Australia, North America and Sweden, as well as Norway, Bulgaria and a few other countries.

As those who were at the game yesterday will be aware, Jerome Federico had to be substituted just minutes after coming on for his home debut. Unfortunately he has suffered a crack in his ankle and is expected to be out of action for 6-8 weeks. We are sure that everyone will join us in wishing Jerome a speedy recovery.

The first team kept up their perfect start of the season in an entertaining bank holiday derby against Harrow Borough, 3-2 being the final score.
The first half was evenly balanced until two minutes before the break when the ball was only half cleared by Harrow, and Dave Diedhiou was able to set himself before scoring with an exquisite lob that beat three defenders on the line.
Five minutes into the second period, Carl McCluskey doubled the lead with a header having been left unmarked, but in the 68th minute Harrow pulled a goal back. Michael Peacock pushed a Harrow attacker over in the box, and Gary Jones stepped up to fire the penalty into the right hand side of the goal.
Isaiah Rankin opened his account in the 81st minute to restore the two goal advantage, but Dave Lawrence set up a nervous finish as he pulled another goal back for Harrow deep into stoppage time.

There are currently delays on the London Overground between London Euston and Watford Junction, and on the Bakerloo Line between Queens Park and Harrow & Wealdstone. This is following a problem in the Stonebridge Park area.
However, the National Rail website suggests that the problem should clear in the next hour or so, and suggest that trains should be running normally again by the time you are travelling to the game. However, we advise that if you are relying on these lines, that you allow a bit of extra time for the journey in case the delays knock on into the afternoon.
There are no reported problems on the Piccadilly Line to Sudbury Town.

Tomorrow afternoon sees our first local derby of the season as we entertain Harrow Borough as we bid to build on the excellent start to the season so far.
Harrow, who are now managed by Dave Anderson, have had a slow start to the season, although after losing their opening game 1-0 at Metropolitan Police, they have drawn 1-1 at home against both Billericay Town and Aveley.
Last season, both teams won the respective league games on their opponents patch, the Greens winning 3-2 at Earlsmead and Harrow winning 3-0 at Vale Farm as they went on an excellent run to secure a play off spot at the end of the season.
Kick off tomorrow afternoon is at 3.00pm and we look forward to seeing you all there.

Simon Roe, who takes photos at many non league games, was present at our game yesterday afternoon, and has put a number of photos on his website.

Hendon are three points clear at the top of the table this evening following a 3-0 win at Carshalton Athletic this afternoon.
The result means that it is only the second time that the club has won their first three league games since 1965, and it is believed that it is only the second time in the clubs history that the club haven't conceded any goals in the opening three games.
Hendon took the lead in the 10th minute when Carl McCluskey scored his first goal for the club, and Greg Ngoyi scored seven minutes later to double the lead. The goal that killed the game off came two minutes into the second half when Elliott Godfrey also netted his first goal.
Posted at 17:05
The first team make the trip across London tomorrow afternoon to face Carshalton Athletic who, like ourselves, are unbeaten so far this season. However, they have dropped points, as they drew 0-0 at home to Wealdstone on Saturday, having won 2-1 at Canvey Island last Saturday.
The Robins have made a string of new signings during the summer, including goalkeeper Nick Hamann, defender Kieran Murphy, midfielders Billy Cook, Francis Quarm, Dean Lodge and Tom Davis and striking trio Dean McDonald, Paul Vines and Laurent Hamici, although the latter is reported to be out injured for three weeks.
Last season, Carshalton finished 2 places and 6 points better off than the Greens, although both teams won their respective home games. A late goal from Mariusz Serwin earnt the Greens a 1-0 win at Vale Farm in September, whilst Carshalton won 2-1 on the final day of the season at Colston Avenue, with Aaron Morgan scoring for Hendon.
Kick off tomorrow is at 3.00pm, and admission is £10 for adults, £6 for senior citizens and £3 for under 16s (who must be accompanied by an adult). Programmes are priced at £2, and if you are driving, please be advised that there will be a £2 parking charge.

Bury Town have made highlights of last night's game available on You Tube, giving those of you unable to make the trip to Suffolk a chance to see Jamie Busby's fine goal.
The highlights can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_suukZyy5k.
Posted at 11:21
An excellent second half performance led to a second 1-0 win in four days, as the Greens ran out winners at Bury Town.
Once again, Jamie Busby was the goalscorer, with one of his specials from outside the box that flew into the bottom corner of the net.
The first half had seen Bury have the lions share of possession, but the new look Greens defence held firm with another disciplined performance. Hendon came out in the second period in determined mood and were rewarded with Busby's goal in the 70th minute.
Posted at 21:47
The first away game of the season sees the first team travel to Bury Town tomorrow evening. Like ourselves, Bury won their first game of the season, coming away from Horsham with a 3-1 victory. Russell Short, Lee Smith and Roy Essandoh were on target.
Last season, both games between the two clubs were entertaining draws, 2-2 in Suffolk, and 3-3 at Vale Farm.
Both sides will go into the game, keen to build on their opening day wins, and it promises to be a closely fought encounter.
Despite the poor weather forecast for the next 24 hours, Bury are confident that the game will go ahead, so we will only update the website if any inspections are planned. Of course, if you are unable to get to the website, you can call the postponement information line where you will find a recorded message with the latest news on the game.
Admission at Bury is £10 for adults and £5 for concessions, and kick off will be at 7.45pm.

With a confirmed date and kick-off time for the Lewes game, we are now pleased to confirm that we will be taking part in the national Non-League Day campaign, albeit 24 hours after most teams. With international fixtures taking place on Friday 2nd September, there are no Premier League or Championship fixtures that weekend and Non-League fans and clubs are working together to try and get supporters to try out a local game.
For our part, we are reducing admission for the day to all league club season ticket holders as well as anyone who holds a dated ticket stub from this season for a league game to just £5 on production of their stub. With Under-16 admission already at just £1, we believe this will offer excellent value for football lovers within the capital.
With a Sunday kick-off, we expect there to be a very limited amount of football on show in London, so please do encourage everyone you know to give Non-League a go at Vale Farm. If someone you know is interested, but unable to make the Lewes fixture, then a full list of fixtures for the weekend can be found on the Non-League Day website at http://www.nonleagueday.co.uk/match-day/.
Posted at 14:32
Our home game against Lewes has been put back by 24 hours, and will now be played on Sunday 4th September, kicking off at 3:00pm.
This is because Wembley have a home FA Cup tie against Ardley United on the Saturday afternoon, following their 2-1 win at Ascot United on Friday evening.
Posted at 14:02
The divisional constitutions for our two new youth teams have been announced by the Harrow Youth League, and both teams will be in Division Two of their respective age groups.
The Under 15s, under the leadership of manager Andrew Reith, will face Eagles United, Hampstead, Harrow St Mary's, Headstone Manor A, Headstone Manor B, Heathrow Club, Kodak, Magix, Parkfield and St Lawrence.
The Under 14s, who are managed by John McKinney, will face Actual Soccer, Brunswick, Harrow St Mary's, Kensingston Dragons, Magix B, Pinner United, Pinnstars, Pitshanger and St Johns Wood.
The season starts on 11th September, and fixtures will be released soon.
Posted at 13:58
We are one step closer to knowing who our FA Cup opponents will be on 17th September after Tring Athletic beat Hanwell Town 1-0 at the weekend.
Tring now travel to AFC Hayes on 3rd September in the Preliminary Round, and we will travel to the winners of that tie.

A penalty converted by Jamie Busby was enough to secure all three points for the Greens this afternoon in the opening game of the season against Concord Rangers.
It was an excellent defensive performance from the Greens, with the new centre half pairing of Elliott Brathwaite and Michael Peacock limiting Concord to a mere handful of chances, and just one clear cut chance in the second half.
The penalty, which was awarded for a foul on Casey Maclaren, came in the 48th minute, and was clinically converted by Busby, which was his 52nd career goal for the club.
Five players made their debuts this afternoon, with Brathwaite, Carl McCluskey and Elliott Godfrey all starting, and Isaiah Rankin and James Archer coming on as substitutes.
Posted at 17:10
Gary McCann has added one final player to the squad ahead of tomorrow afternoon's opening game of the season.
19 year old wide midfielder Jerome Federico has joined us from Hayes & Yeading United, for whom he has already made one substitute appearance this season against Alfreton Town last Saturday, having begun his career by coming through the youth set-up at Wycombe Wanderers.
Posted at 16:33
We would like to remind supporters that we are still looking for assistance with distributing leaflets around the local area both tomorrow, when we hope to run a stall in front of The Swan, and in the next couple of weeks with a leaflet drop in the surrounding streets.
We have around 5000 leaflets printed to promote the club for the coming season, but at the moment don't have the manpower to hand them all out. If you're free before the Concord game tomorrow to assist on Harrow Road, or you have some free time in the next few weeks where you could deliver - even if you've only got time to cover a single road, please get in touch with Eddie Edwards via email (email@example.com), or speak to him tomorrow during the Concord game.
Posted at 11:18
After what seems like a long pre-season, we finally open our Ryman League campaign tomorrow afternoon as we entertain Concord Rangers at Vale Farm, kick off at 3:00pm.
Last season was the first time we had played the Canvey Island based side, and in August, we beat them 4-1 at Vale Farm, with the now departed Belal Aite-Ouakrim scoring all four goals, Harry Elmes scoring the consolation.
In the return fixture, Aite-Ouakrim scored another two goals, but Concord were in much better form, and the Essex side won 3-2 with goals from Tony Stokes, Gary Ogilvie and Steve King.
Like ourselves, Concord have made some changes to their squad during the summer, including one new recruit who is familiar to Hendon fans. Full back/winger Sam Collins, who himself lives on Canvey Island, has joined Concord, following his summer departure from Maidenhead United.
With the weather forecast looking good for tomorrow, we hope to see as many of you as possible at Vale Farm, hopefully cheering the team on to victory, and three points.

The deadline is approaching for the return of the questionnaires that the Supporters Trust sent out to all members a few weeks ago.
If you haven't yet returned it, the deadline is Monday 29th August. This is a very important questionnaire as the trust continues to look ahead to the future. If you need another copy, please email us on firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll email a copy to you. Alternatively John Rogers will have hard copies with him on Saturday afternoon at the Concord Rangers game.

The draws for the Middlesex County Youth Cups have been released this morning for our U15 and U14 sides.
Our U15s face a first round trip to Whitewebbs Eagles, with the game due to be played on Sunday 18th September. Should they progress, they will travel Ruislip Town A in the second round.
Our U14s have a bye in the opening round, and will be at home to either Enfield Rangers or Headstone Manor A in the second round on Sunday 16th October.
Posted at 10:22
There has been a late slight change to our youth team set-up. Due to the numbers available, we have decided to withdraw our under 13 side, and reinstate the under 14 side.
Posted at 10:20
Four more players signed league forms this evening, just one of which is new to the club, one of whom was with us last season, one was in the under 21s and the final one has played for us in the past.
The new player is former Arsenal striker Isaiah Rankin, who joins us from Ashford Town (Middlesex), where he scored 12 goals in 35 league appearances last season. He has played for numerous league clubs, including Bradford City, Barnsley, Grimsby Town and Brentford.
The returning player is 27 year old defender Ryan Wharton, who originally made 11 appearances in the early part of the 2006-07 season. He was with Hemel Hempstead Town and Beaconsfield SYCOB last season.
Also registering are Greg Ngoyi, who of course was with us last season, and Daryl Atkins, who impressed for the under 21s last term.
Posted at 21:56
Are you available for an hour or two before the game on Saturday afternoon? If so, the Supporters Trust board are looking for volunteers to help hand out leaflets promoting the club outside the Swan pub in Sudbury.
The Swan have once again kindly agreed to allow us to distribute leaflets from their forecourt on Saturday between 11am and 2.30pm. As a number of the trust board have other matchday duties, they are very keen to have some other volunteers to help out. Even if you are only available for an hour before the game, that would be very helpful.
The trust are also aiming to distribute leaflets in the streets local to the ground on Sunday and during the following week.
If you are able to assist either on Saturday, or with the door to door distribution, please email Eddie Edwards on firstname.lastname@example.com and he will be delighted to hear from you.
This is a fantastic way that you can support and help your club, without no cost to yourself.
Posted at 10:24
We would like to advise all those supporters that have purchased season tickets for the new campaign that your tickets will be available for collection on the gate on Saturday afternoon.
If you are unable to attend on Saturday, then your ticket will be available at the first home league game you come to.
It's not too late to order a season ticket - for full details on prices, please click the admission tab on the menu.

Gary McCann has asked us to clarify the situation with regard to Craig Carby's move to Northwood.
The reason that Craig feels that he is unable to really commit to the fight for his place in our starting XI is down to his work commitments. Gary said that Craig knows the expectations this year and wanted to be totally upfront with his situation.
His move to Northwood is on a dual-registration basis, as it was felt by both Craig and Gary that it was better for all concerned that he gets some important game time at Northwood, and we know that he will be in very good hands under the leadership of Gary Meakin.
Gary also said that Craig is still very much in our thinking, and remains registered with the Ryman League to play for Hendon.
We apologise to all concerned that the news item posted yesterday didn't make the above as clear as it should have done.
Posted at 08:59
After the game at Harlow, Gary McCann confirmed that experienced goalkeeper Noel Imber has signed for the club. The 34 year old stopper has been out of the game for a couple of years after leaving Boreham Wood, and has played for a number of clubs including Stevenage Borough, Slough Town, St Albans City and Wealdstone. We warmly welcome Noel to the club.
Gary is hoping to confirm two or three final signings after training on Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile Craig Carby, formerly Craig Vargas, has signed for Northwood as he felt he wasn't going to get regular first team football following the defensive additions to the squad during the summer. We will continue to hold his Ryman League registration. We thank Craig for his efforts over the past few years, during which time he made 174 appearances, scoring 4 goals. Gary McCann is keen to make it clear that the door remains open should he wish to return.
Finally, James Parker will not be a regular member of the side this season. As many supporters will be aware, James works as a school teacher, and unfortunately commitments to his job mean that getting to training and matches on Tuesday nights is very difficult. James will remain registered with the club, and very much remains part of the squad. We hope that he will be able to add to his 259 appearances for the club when circumstances allow.

The first team's pre-season friendlies ended with a goalless draw at Harlow Town this afternoon. The home side had the better chances in the first half, the best of which fell to Louis Perkins who saw his shot thunder off the woodwork.
The second half saw the Greens create a number of chances, with Lawrence Yaku, Dave Diedhiou, Greg Ngoyi and Aaron Morgan all seeing chances go narrowly wide.
With the friendlies now completed, the squad have two training sessions this week to put the final touches to their preparations before the season starts next week against Concord Rangers.
Posted at 18:25
We have once again been drawn to play Harrow Borough in the second round of the league cup - the third time in four years we have been drawn together.
However, as opposed to 2008 and 2010 when we were drawn at home, losing on both occasions, we have been drawn away and will travel to Earlsmead, with the game due to be played on Tuesday 18th October.
Posted at 11:01
The season is nearly upon us, and Saturday sees us travel to Harlow Town for the final friendly of the summer. The Hawks currently play in Division One North, and finished in 4th place, losing to Wingate & Finchley in the play off semi finals.
We last met Harlow in February 2009 when we ran out 5-0 winners at Vale Farm, Peter Dean (2), Brian Haule, Lee O'Leary and Jamie Busby finding the back of the net. A couple of months earlier we won 5-3 at Barrows Farm, with Harry Hunt (3), Glenn Garner and Busby scoring.
Admission at Barrows Farm on Saturday is £5 for adults, £3 for concessions and £1 for children. We hope to see as many of you there as possible as Gary and the squad make their final preparations for the season ahead.
Posted at 15:27
We will be running just two youth teams this season, as we look to re-establish the club into the Harrow Youth League, and the local youth football scene.
Following the trials a couple of weeks ago, it was decided that we would just run sides in the under 13 and under 15 age groups. As previously reported, the under 13s will be managed by John McKinney and Dave Stewart, and the under 15s will be managed by Andrew Reith.
As was mentioned a few weeks ago, the under 21 side has been disbanded, and since then the under 18 side has also been disbanded.
Any prospective players who are interested in the possibility of joining one of the two teams this season should send an email with their contact details to firstname.lastname@example.com
Posted at 19:12
The first team needed a second half recovery to earn a 4-1 win at Northwood this evening, having gone behind to a first half Wayne O'Sullivan goal.
The Greens fought back in the second half, and goals from Jamie Busby, Scott Cousins, Elliott Godfrey and Liam Hind ensured the victory.
Posted at 22:00
The club have confirmed that tonight's friendly at Northwood is going ahead as planned. A number of matches around the capital, including Wembley's home game against Windsor, have been postponed this evening in response to the current situation in the capital.
We do ask that any supporters travelling to Northwood ensure that they take the utmost care, and no unnecessary risks. We fully understand if you feel that it is safer to stay at home rather than attend the game.
Posted at 15:56
Following this afternoon's game at Harefield, both James Archer and Michael Lewis have signed up for the new season.
Lewis, who impressed on Tuesday night for Chalfont St Peter, is a 29 year old midfielder who was playing for Hayes Gate last season, whilst 22 year old James Archer was with Chichester City in the Sussex League last term.
We warmly welcome both players to the club.
Posted at 17:43
Two goals from Isaiah Rankin helped the first team to their latest friendly win at Harefield United this afternoon. The final score was 3-0, with Casey Maclaren scoring the second goal of the afternoon.
There were two new trialists in the squad. The first was striker Claude Seanla, who was with Tonbridge Angels and Concord Rangers last season, and has also appeared for Boreham Wood and Horsham, whilst Michael Lewis also started, having impressed for Chalfont St Peter on Tuesday evening.
Posted at 17:12
Following the cancellation of the friendly against Brentwood, we have now arranged to visit Northwood on Tuesday evening, kicking off at 7:45pm.
Posted at 17:32
Our planned friendly at Brentwood Town on Tuesday evening has been cancelled due to their pitch not yet being match ready. Gary McCann is currently working to try and arrange an alternative fixture for that evening.
Posted at 11:25
Elliott Godfrey & Bradley Fraser have both joined the club from Boreham Wood for the new season after signing forms this evening.
Bradley is already known to the club, having made 4 appearances for us last season whilst dual-registered with Boreham Wood. Meanwhile, Elliott is a former Canadian U20 & U23 international who began his career at Watford, before spells at Hampton & Richmond Borough and AFC Wimbledon.
We welcome both players to the club, and hope that they enjoy their time with us.
Posted at 21:38
This evening's friendly with Northwood has unfortunately had to be called off at short notice due to a waterlogged pitch following the persistent rain in North-West London today. Our next friendly is now due to be on Saturday afternoon at Harefield United.
Posted at 16:44
In tonight's friendly, the first team drew 3-3 at Chalfont St Peter, despite playing for 47 minutes with ten men.
The home side took the lead in the 42nd minute through Daniel Ailey, and just a minute later the Greens were reduced to ten men when Daryl Atkins was sent off for a second bookable offence.
The game came to life midway through the second half with 5 goals in 10 minutes. In the 69th minute Ailey doubled the lead, but this sparked Hendon into action.
Elliott Godfrey pulled a goal back in the 74th minute, and just a minute later equalised from the penalty spot. In the 78th minute the Greens were ahead courtesy of an own goal, but didn't concentrate as Daniel Tomlin equalised for Chalfont just moments later.

Health: Happy Tails, Singapore's Second Pet Insurance (And How It Compares to the First)
Mama first heard about the launch of Happy Tails, the second pet insurance in Singapore, back in October. Its coverage sounds more promising, but it also has stricter terms compared to Singapore's very first pet insurance – PetCare by Liberty Insurance.
I guess I took so long to write about it because mama is not keen on purchasing it yet. That is due to my young age and also the fact that my luxating patella is already considered a pre-existing condition. Nonetheless, mama still thinks it is a policy worth considering. [Update: I am now insured by Happy Tails]
Happy Tails Pet Insurance plans and coverage
Happy Tails is underwritten by MSIG Insurance (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and distributed by Aon Singapore Pte. Ltd. There are three plans to choose from. Based on my particulars (female, Westie, two years old, spayed, no surgical history), these are the policies and premiums:
Just by comparing the FUR plan with Liberty Insurance PetCare's cheapest plan (both have similar premiums based on the above-mentioned particulars), the FUR plan has better benefits in terms of surgical treatment and follow-up.
Unlike its competitor, it doesn't cover non-surgical treatment, choosing to focus on a pet's surgical needs. It also covers the following specified hereditary and congenital conditions for pets enrolled before the age of six, subject to a 12-month waiting period from the policy's first commencement date for these conditions:
- Hip and elbow dysplasia
- Luxating Patella
- Glaucoma
- Cherry eye
- Invertebral Disk Disease (IVDD)
- Femoral Head and Neck Excision
Happy Tails vs. PetCare coverage
Click to enlarge image.
Co-insurance & deductible
For co-insurance, Happy Tails has different percentages for different age groups:
- 20% for dogs enrolled before age 4
- 30% for dogs enrolled before age 7
- 40% for dogs enrolled before age 9
PetCare has the same percentages for all ages:
- 50% for non-surgical
- 30% for surgical treatment
You will also have to bear a fixed amount of $250 in any claim for Happy Tails. PetCare only requires you to pay deductible for accidental injury ($50) and third party liability ($500).
No claim discount
Double good news for those who do not need to claim for insurance! You will get to enjoy significant discounts regardless of your choice between Happy Tails or PetCare.
|Period of Insurance
|Preceding year
|Preceding 2 consecutive years
|Preceding 3 consecutive years or more
What we prefer
Mama prefers Happy Tails Pet Insurance because it has:
- better overall coverage for surgical and chemotherapy treatments, which is what she feels a healthcare insurance is primarily for – the big unexpected expenses
- lower co-insurance for younger pups (below four years old)
- coverage of certain specified hereditary and congenital conditions (excluding pre-existing conditions)
- a dedicated website with good information and online generated quotes
What's the catch?
- The premium may increase
In instances of certain conditions or adverse claims, the premium may be increased to reflect the risk incidence to the overall premium pool.
- Mandatory clinical exam
It is mandatory that the pet undergoes a clinical examination for enrollment within 30 days of the commencement date of the insurance. You must produce the report when making a claim for the first time. You can download the clinical examination form here.
PetCare by Liberty Insurance does not require a medical examination.
- Exclusions
For pets that are not spayed or neutered, there is no coverage for illness related to prostate problems, hormonal skin conditions, perianal hernias, testicular tumours, perianal tumours, mammary tumours, uterine and ovarian conditions.
- Age limit
Your pet has to be above 16 weeks and below nine years old at the commencement of this insurance.
- Vaccinations and microchipping required
You must microchip your pet and license her with Agri-food and Veterinary Authority in Singapore. She only needs to receive all required puppy vaccinations.
- Working pet ineligible
Your pet cannot be a working pet. E.g. not for the purpose of racing, breeding, law enforcement, guarding, or for other commercial use.

Athletes training for a triathlon or swim competition may have a timing issue. Few watches are both waterproof and able to time laps, meaning athletes can only time the full workout and then divide the workout time by the number of laps swum.
Estimates don't help an athlete determine whether times are faster at the beginning or end of a workout. Does an athlete have a slow start that needs to be addressed? Or an endurance issue and the tendency to fizzle out at the end?
There are waterproof lap watches available for aquatic athletes hoping to determine pace. The Timex Ironman Sleek 150-lap watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters.
The watch has TapScreen technology so athletes can tap the face while swimming or running instead of having to locate and push buttons. It also has interval timers which can record up to 150 laps.
Athletes can set a goal and audible alerts will notify if the pace is too fast, slow or just right. There are also alarms to remind athletes to hydrate or refuel during long workouts.
The watch can also be used as an alarm and has three customizable alarms and a five-minute backup alarm. There is also a night light and night mode feature.
Available in seven styles, it costs $89.95 at TimexIronMan.com.

California Zephyr 10-6 Sleepers
With the opening of George Pullman's Pullman Palace Car
Company in 1867 the sleeper came of age. Although there were
sleeping cars in service on the railroads prior to Pullman's
opening he soon perfected the car. His sleeping car designs
became so successful that the term "Pullman" soon described that
type of car even if it had not been built by the company. All on
board services on Pullman company cars were performed by Pullman
employee's and on other company's cars through contract
After World War II Pullman's on-board services were slowly taken over by the railroads themselves as Pullman divested itself of those services although the company continued to manufacture cars. Strong competition to Pullman cars came in the form of the Budd Company as their stainless-steel streamliners came into being with its new exterior material and many innovative interior designs.
For the California Zephyr the ten-roomette six double-bedroom sleepers were considered all-room cars. Built according to BUDD plan 9509 the nineteen cars were numbered CB&Q 423-428, D&RGW 1130-1134, WP 861-867, and PRR 8449 each distinctively styled car contained sixteen semi-private sections. The PRR car was built to plan 9520 and named Silver Rapids. CB&Q returned to BUDD in 1952 for two additional cars numbered 429 and 430 which were built to plan 9531 and named Silver Chasm and Crag.
Divided into six double bedrooms and ten roomettes each room included toilet facilities with those in the bedrooms being enclosed. The roomettes had a large sofa type seat that was wide enough for two people and was adjustable to three positions. The top of the toilet was designed so it formed a third seat. The roomettes also included a large, perfectly lighted mirror for shaving or make-up, which also contributed to a feeling of spaciousness. A full-length mirror was also on the inside face of the sliding entrance door. There was also a full-length wardrobe closet next to the seat and space for luggage under the seat and in a rack over the mirror. Beds in the roomettes were designed so they could be lowered and raised with the entrance door closed thus avoiding the occupant having to step out into the aisle.
The six double bedrooms were arranged in an alternating transverse and longitudinal setup with folding partitions so that pairs of rooms could be combined to create Master Drawing Rooms which were ideal for family or group occupancy. Sofas in the transverse rooms were large enough for three and also had folding arm rests. The lower berth was made up by folding down the back of the sofa with the upper berth hinged above the sofa. Longitudinal rooms had a seat of the roomette type and an additional upholstered arm chair which could be folded and stored under the lower berth at night. The lower berth in this type room operated the same as the roomette. The upper berth was stored against the ceiling and required porter assistance for setup. Each room had an enclosed toilet which was a 'Combolet' (wash basin and folding toilet) with ceramic floor tile and water impervious plastic wall coverings. All were piped for showerheads with the drains in the floors capped. Each room was also equipped with circulating, electrically refrigerated drinking water, radio, individual temperature control and 110-volt outlets for electrical appliances. All rooms had double width windows.
Located at the vestibule end of the car was the porter's station. In this longitudinal space of about six feet was a toilet room, electrical regulator and control cabinets with the porter's area and bedding locker across the aisle. The porter's area consisted of a locker, seat, and a high folding berth which when made up was screened from the aisle by a curtain. The color harmony in the all-room cars was a restful blending of rose-tan, petal beige and shades of gray in combination with ashes of roses and soft greens.
As originally built these cars had full body width diaphragms which were removed in later years. CB&Q cars carried the names Silver Butte, Cliff, Falls, Point, Shore, and Valley. D&RGW named theirs Silver Creek, Glacier, Gorge, Pass and Summit and the WP cars carried the names Silver Arroyo, Bay, Canyon, Mountain, Palisade, Range, and Surf.

Earthwork (2011)
In 1994, real-life crop artist Stan Herd traveled from Kansas to Manhattan's Upper West Side to create a massive environmental artwork on land owned by Donald Trump. The multi-acre artwork was made from soil, rock, plants and vegetation near an underground railway tunnel. Stan recruited a number of homeless individuals living in the tunnel to become his crew. Over the months it took to complete the earthwork, Stan dealt with a myriad of difficulties in bringing his unique, rural art form to an urban canvas and the many costs his art exacted upon his life. In the process, he unexpectedly encountered the true meaning of his art and it's ultimate, lasting rewards

Today is the first day of Fall, and you know what that means? Colder temperatures are on there way.The best way to transition from warmer temperatures to average or cooler temps is with a maxi dress. A maxi with sleeves are the most desirable for Fall weather. They do dual duty, keeping you warm when it is chilly, but yet is light and airy enough for those afternoon warmer temperatures. When transitioning wearing booties are great. Booties say it is fall but not yet winter and many pair well with maxi dresses. Try these booties with your maxi.
There are many great maxi's that are in style for the Fall. A long sleeve one is idea. This one here is to die for. A short sleeve maxi is also great when mother nature hasn't realized that the thermometer should be on the lower end of the scale. Try this short sleeved maxi if you are looking to add one to your closet. Are you a maxi dress girl? If so, what is one of your favorites? Shop mine below.

|China says the US justice system suffers from 'serious racial bias', highlighting police killings of several unarmed black men, which sparked protests over the past year (AFP Photo/Mark Makela)
Beijing (AFP) - China on Friday slammed the US for a "terrible human rights record", denouncing it for police brutality and global surveillance a day after Washington criticised Beijing's own performance.
In a report sourced mainly from US media, China said the US was "haunted by spreading guns, frequent occurrence of violent crimes, the excessive use of force by police".
It said that US intelligence had used "indiscriminate" torture against terrorist suspects, while "violating human rights in other countries" with drone strikes and mass surveillance programmes.
The document is released each year by China the day after the US State Department issues its annual global human rights report. Beijing does not release rights reports on other countries.
Unlike China, the US is a multiparty democracy but the report declared: "Money is a deciding factor in the US politics, and the US citizens' political rights were not properly protected."
The Chinese Communist Party has repeatedly imprisoned those who openly challenge its right to rule or have protested publicly.
Its state-run media said in December that torture by Chinese police to extract confessions is "not rare", in an unusual admission.
Friday's document, released by China's State Council, or cabinet, largely cited US domestic media websites, including the New York Times, which is blocked by Beijing as part of its Internet censorship regime.
China said the US justice system suffered from "serious racial bias", highlighting police killings of several unarmed black men, which sparked protests over the past year.
The US has "grim problems of racial discrimination, and institutional discrimination against ethnic minorities continued", it added.
Washington's own report on Thursday said that in China "repression and coercion were routine, particularly against organisations and individuals involved in civil and political rights advocacy".
It also noted Beijing's continued repression of ethnic Uighurs and Tibetans.
The report criticised semi-autonomous Hong Kong.
"The most important human rights problems reported were the limited ability of citizens to participate in and change their government through the right to vote in free and fair elections," it said of the city.
Hong Kong lawmakers last week rejected a Beijing-backed electoral reform package which was derided as "fake democracy" during mass protests in 2014, as it required candidates for the city's next leader be vetted by a loyalist committee.
The US report also highlighted limitations on press freedom and violence against the media in Hong Kong, after attacks on some leading journalists and executives.
The city's government hit back Friday saying foreign powers "should not interfere" in its constitutional development and added "great importance" was given to freedom of speech.
Human rights are a long-standing source of tensions between China and the US, which imposed sanctions on Beijing after the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown on pro-democracy protesters that left hundreds, by some estimates more than 1,000, dead.
China often says that its rapid economic development in recent decades has led to a greater respect for human rights, and that other countries are not entitled to criticise its record.

Bike-to-Work Day Momentum
It was Bike-to-Work Day here in the San Francisco Bay Area and thousands of cyclists hit the streets. It felt like Amsterdam, where bikes outnumbered cars, in some instances by as much as 3 to 1.
Every year, companies, local governments, transportation authorities and bike coalitions around the country support Bike-to-Work Day to encourage more bike commuting.
For employers who seriously want to reduce the number of employees who drive to work, this day is a real boon. It provides the support needed to reach the tipping point between "I'd like to ride my bike someday" and actually doing it.
But a single day does not a habit make.
It's important to take the elements of Bike-to-Work Day and extend them throughout the summer or even throughout the year:
- Organize group rides to and from work, led by experienced bike commuters
- Create and share the routes ahead of time
- Offer classes on safe cycling
- Participate in the National Bike Challenge
- Award prizes regularly, such as every month
- Encourage newbies with something to help them get started
- Coordinate a loaner bike program
- Survey staff on what they need to bike commute more often
A well-known Silicon Valley tech company doubled their numbers this year and are continuing their support all summer to create a more regular habit of bike commuting.
By running a Bike Challenge all Summer with prizes and recognition; holding bi-monthly classes; providing employee bike repair, a DIY bike kitchen, bike fits and a loaner bike fleet, they'll help those who participated in Bike-to-Work Day continue to ride.
May be your company did a couple of things to support Bike-to-Work Day or didn't participate at all. Either way, you can take a lesson from those who did and move forward beyond the day.
If you're committed to reducing the number of employees who drive to work, now is the time – right after Bike-to-Work Day – to use the momentum for immediate conversion and long-term success.

What's Pope Francis really like?
You've heard bits and pieces in news stories about him paying his own hotel bill, riding the bus around Buenos Aires and forgoing a plush Papal apartment in favor of a life in community. Italian journalist Rosario Carello has put together eighty vignettes from the life of Pope Francis in a book that will help readers get to know the Pope in his new book, Pope Francis Takes the Bus.
The title of this book might make you think it was written for children. (Or maybe I've spent too much time reading Mo Willems' Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! with the first-graders.) This impression is carried even further when you see that the table of contents is arranged alphabetically, like an ABC picture book: "F is for…Francis." While the stories themselves can be easily understood by children, the vocabulary used in this book will challenge readers below the middle-school level. If your children are younger, consider reading it yourself and simplifying the word choice as you share the stories with your children. The stories are wonderful, and many of them involve children, so your younger family members will certainly enjoy hearing them.
This book centers on the Pope's humility as his distinguishing trait. The anecdotes in the book are all designed to demonstrate that the Pope deliberately chooses to live that virtue.
I do think that there is a danger, in writing a biography of a Church figure, to canonize a person while he is still alive. Carello walks that fine line in this book, and that's understandable, because he's not out to make the Pope look bad.
If you'd like to learn about Pope Francis' life through stories about more than just his papacy, this book is for you.
Buy this book through our Amazon link and support CatholicMom.com with your purchase!

Ice stepped out of the greystone office and into the bright sunlight. He pulled off his sunglasses and tucked them into the left breast pocket of his navy Armani suit. He turned his face to the sun, and closed his eyes.
His head snapped toward the sound. An elderly man, about 70ish, with white hair and wide, frightened eyes, stood pointing a shaky bony finger at him.
"It's you. I know it's you."
Ice locked his gaze onto the old man's eyes and let his mouth go slack. His feelers moved through the skin, past the cranium, and searched through the gray matter to find a weakness. There. Right there. He focused intensely for a second or two. That's all it took. The man crumpled to the floor, his fall finally breaking eye contact.
Ice rushed to the man's side, pushing through the surprised bystanders that moved in to help. He pulled off his jacket, dropping it to the ground as he knelt down. He turned to a young woman with a cell phone.
"Call 911," he said.
He placed two fingers on the side of the man's neck. A faint pulse still fluttered beneath his fingertips. He tilted the man's head back and checked for breathing. Barely a wisp. He clasped his hands together, positioned them under the man's breast bone where the ribs of each side came together. He began CPR, pushing against the man's chest, knowing he was sending more blood to the damaged brain, building more pressure. He paused to give mouth to mouth resuscitation, listened again to the slowing breath, returned to massaging the man's chest. He continued as a crowd grew around them, until he was certain the blood vessels in the old man's brains were exploding under the onslaught, until no breath and no heart beat could be detected.
He heard the sirens. An ambulance pulled up next to them. The paramedics pulled him back, took over the CPR where he had left off. The senior paramedic pronounced the old man dead at the scene. He patted Ice on the shoulder.
"You did all that you could."
Later that afternoon, back in the dark of the greystone office, the captain paced angrily.
"What the hell did you do that for?" he said through clenched teeth.
"I had to," Ice said. "He almost blew my cover."
Today's prompt included one of my favorite writing exercises, eavesdropping. I'm afraid I didn't follow directions very well; I only used one line of dialogue. It's just that it was such a good line of dialogue, I couldn't pass it up.
Step 1. Go to a busy locale—a cafe or coffee shop would be easiest. Sit down with a notebook, and make sure you look busy, so people don't know you're listening. Now write down random sound bites of conversations.Try to get at least 10 lines or snippets.
Step 2. Now use all ten in a cohesive scene of dialogue or as dialogue in a story
Step 3. Leave a list of the lines plucked from real life at the end of the story for people to see.
The line I took was "He almost blew my cover."
The rest of the conversation revolved around new NFL rules, how bad the Rams are this year, and golf.
Anyway, to play along, visit Write Anything's [Fiction] Friday here.

Ooooo so mysterious. Good job. What's more intriguing is that you overheard that line while eavesdropping. What on earth were the people talking about when one said "He almost blew my cover?" That's was a juicy bit of eavesdropping Shelli. Good work. :)

Good work here, Shelli.
BTW, I get what you mean in your note on my story. However, I'm not trying to appeal to a range of audiences and I don't want to tone down my stories just because someone might be turned off by what they read.

- Shelli said...
Thanks, John. I agree, you have to be true to yourself as an author first and foremost. Likewise, I have to be true to myself. I'm sad that I'll miss some of your stories from time to time, because I think you're a good author.

A clever and well paced story. That little piece of dialogue says so much and leaves lots of questions unanswered and I like that.

February Color
Honey bees are really attracted to the pale blue flowers of my Rosemary shrubs, and they arrived today to collect pollen from the flowers that opened yesterday. The flowers of have a fragrance just like the needles. The Latin word Rosmarinus means 'dew from the sea' and this shrub was so named because the flowers are supposed to resemble dew.
I've always loved the fragrance of Rosemary, and buy shampoo, soap and other products with the fragrance. I think it smells especially good when combined with mint or sage. I occasionally make an herbal tea from several sprigs of fresh rosemary. Many people use this tea to help a cold, but I just like it as a change from my regular herbal teas.
The top spines of this unidentified cactus are especially red in this specimen. I would guess it's a young Pachycereus pringlei, commonly called Mexican Giant Cactus or Cardon. If it is the genus and species that I suspect, I've placed it in an inappropriate place! The cactus started out as one of the small cactus specimens in a dish arrangement, and as dish became crowded, they became landscape plantings. This one is under the filtered shade of a Mesquite tree. If it turns out to be a Cardon, this thing can reach 40 feet tall!
I'm a fan of cactus dish gardens, especially when they are on sale. I can get five or six small cacti and succulents, as well as an nice pot, for far less than if I bought each separately. There are a couple of problems with this, though. The first is the "glue" the supplier uses to hold the gravel top dressing in place, probably to keep it from spilling in transit and in displays. When the time comes to dissemble the dish garden, the stuff must be carefully peeled off to free each cactus. It takes time and patience. The next problem is the mixing of cacti and succulents in the same pot. Many succulents take far more water than cactus and have different dormancy requirements, and root rot can occur to the cacti if watering for the succulent. The final and most irritating issue for me is the lack of identification of the contents. Most all of the unidentified cacti in my collection started out as one of the plants in a dish garden!
Jojoba is a dioecious plant found only in Arizona and California, and maybe the Sonoran Desert area of Mexico. These are the first flowers on my three year old Jojoba plant. The plants must experience a certain number of chilling hours before buds form on new growth. The buds open in response to late winter rains. The yellow clustered, insignificant flowers prove that this plant is male. A female plant would have single pale green flowers at each leaf node, rather than clusters. The female flowers look more like a seed pod.
Most people are familiar with Jojoba as an oil used in cosmetics. Early Native Americans in our region used the seeds as food, as a medicinal aid, and cooking oil, among other uses.

I like rosemary a lot too and have rosemary scented bath oils, very relexing. I have several rosemaries in the garden and hopefully they will be in flower soon.
Thanks for the pic of your male Jojoba, I had not seen this plant before, neither the female nor the male one. Congrats on its first flowers, always a very special occasion!

Hi Aiyana
I love the smell of Rosemary plants! Mine have not started to bloom yet this year. I always enjoy visiting your Arizona garden. So much beauty.

I also have a rosemary plant here, which blooms sporadically all winter. I always thought the individual blooms looked much like a small blue orchid... I planted mine with the agave and yuccas, since I thought I needed something green against all that gray. Here, you have to be careful with them, as the roots will rot. The tea is also supposed to be good for migraines, but the best use for the plant, IMO, is roast chicken.
The red spines on that cactus are very nice, and I've heard of jajoba oil, but have never seen the jojoba plant before.

Aiyana .. such pretty pictures and I am so winter weary I appreciate seeing them so much !
I am such a fan of rosemary and grow lots every summer. I love it in a hand balm/salve from Bert's Bees products .. blended with lavender and other wonderful scents .. it truly helps energize or relax you .. which ever way you need to go at that moment ? LOL

The blooms really are abundant on your Rosemary right now. I love the fragrance of this herb. Happy Bloomin' Tuesday Aiyana!

Love your rosemary in bloom, the red on that cactus, and the color of the leaves on the Jojoba. I agree about dish gardens, they sure aren't made for the long term are they? I told that to hubby once and he said "so why do you keep buying them?" sigh, men...

That Cardon cactus is impressive!!! I have started leaving the gluey rocks on my arrangements...just this last one actually that has three succulents (no cactus). I have no idea how much water actually gets through...so we will just sort of see what happens!

Neat photo of the rosemary flowers! I totally agree with you about the fragrance of rosemary...I particularly like it in shampoo.
BTW, the soothing color of your blog's page background is just a perfect match for your theme and your region and shows off your crisp photos beautifully.

Rosemary belongs to my kitchen herbs too (we use it for several dishes as well as tea and bath fragrance). I think, however, this winter has killed my rosemary shrubs. It was too cold outside. The way of selling of cacti is exactly the same with sempervivum plants here. It's hard work and difficult to identify them later.

I loved the fabulous mounds of rosemary I saw when I went on my trip to Ajo Arizona recently. That's such a great-looking plant!

New Yorkers have got used to such a spectacle, but it is a new sight in Dublin.
Smokers, huddled in pairs, sometimes standing alone, lighting up in the street outside bars.
At least the weather has been relatively kind to them so far, though the forecast is not great.
This is the new reality for Ireland's smokers who now, like their brethren in parts of the United States, cannot smoke indoors.
The ban here prohibits smoking in enclosed workplaces.
It means the moment you walk into a Dublin pub you notice a radical change.
Gone is the grey cloud of cigarette smoke which used to hang above the bar.
One pub manager told me how, on the first night of the ban, a regular customer took a deep breath and declared he could even smell the perfume worn by a woman who'd just walked in.
Micheal Martin, the campaigning health minister who was the driving force behind the smoking ban, is delighted with the way it has gone so far.
Certainly in the pubs which my research has taken me to there has been no sign of mass defiance.
Most smokers and bar staff seem to be taking a pragmatic view and getting on with it.
At O'Reilly's, not far from the centre of Dublin, a couple of smokers stood in the beer garden, having left their pints of Guinness at the bar before heading outside.
John Fogarty, a regular here as well as a keen smoker, said that he is coping.
He even told me he is enjoying being in a pub with clean air, despite the chore of having to go outside for a fag.
'Smoking bus'
Other watering holes have come up with innovative ways of helping smokers.
At Johnnie Fox's pub, overlooking Dublin from the Wicklow Mountains, the owner has bought a double-decker London bus.
It's now a "smoking bus", parked up beside the pub, and a haven for anyone who wants to smoke and be sheltered from the elements.
The publican, Tony McMahon, took legal advice, and reckons that if he cleans the bus himself, and doesn't let staff enter it, then it doesn't breach the new law he so dislikes.
Another Dublin bar has removed a window pane and put in old fashioned stocks, so desperate customers can stick their heads out through the hole for a smoke.
It has not all gone perfectly though. The smoking ban has already claimed a high-level political casualty.
John Deasy, the Justice spokesman for the main opposition party, Fine Gael, was sacked after lighting up inside the members' bar at Leinster House, the home of the Irish Parliament.
'Smoke rage'
Mr Deasy had been denied access to an outdoor area for a legal smoke. His party supported the ban, and its leader stressed that politicians have a duty to uphold the law just like anyone else.
And in the first reported case of "smoke rage" a bar manager in County Cavan is said to have been attacked by an irate smoker when he tied to enforce the ban.
The owners of pubs and restaurants across Ireland will be watching their takings closely in the coming weeks to see if their businesses are suffering.
Perhaps dry cleaners will be hit, now that entering a pub here does not mean your clothes stink of smoke for days afterwards.
And, ironically, a side-effect of a ban aimed at cleaning up work environments could, in fact, be a different environmental problem: that of discarded cigarette butts left by smokers outside Ireland's pubs.

Your site is your online face. No secret there. But are you doing all you can to showcase your company's awesomeness, or does your site design and content take away from your real value?
Let's explore…
Write Quality Content
When it comes to website content, it isn't just what you say, but how you say it. Is your site too wordy or too vague, or even both? It's very possible to use a lot of words to say very little. Make sure your content is the right mix.
Real quick – here's some other valuable content takeaways:
Give your visitors a good scope of what you do, without boring them with too many details: Think of your home page as your elevator pitch. Short. Sweet. To the point. AND RELEVANT!
Use long-tail keywords naturally: Search engines and people can smell a keyword-stuffed page a mile away and it's a total turnoff. Use them wisely. Not too much.
Be transparent: Unless you are Nike or American Express, state clearly what you do on your front page. Be sure to spell it out. It helps qualify your potential clients, helps the search engines rank you, and helps your readers feel satisfied that where they are is where they need to be. There's nothing worse than wasting massive amounts of time on a site searching for the company's specialty.
Break up your paragraphs into bite-sized sections: This makes your page easier to read both on desktop and mobile platforms, and will retain your reader's attention longer.
Break up the rhythm of your sentences: Have some really short ones – like this. Then add in some other longer ones – but not too long. Research shows that longer sentences just get scanned or skipped over completely.
Skip the cerebral vocabulary: You don't need to prove your intelligence. If you can walk, don't saunter. If you can think, don't ponder.
Use the words you'd use chatting over coffee, unless your subject matter calls for something different. People can sense phony writing, and it makes you come off as unapproachable. No one wants to buy from the guy who's unapproachable, so don't be that guy.
Maintain the left margin, if you can: As western left-to-right readers, we will always look for that left starting point. If you've got a lot of content, keep your readers in a comfy headspace, by keeping the margin for them.
Prioritize Website Graphics
Have you ever visited a page with an overload of annoying pop-ups? Or how about those irritating ads that follow you as you scroll down the page, flashing and talking at you like a sleazy Vegas billboard? Yeah, me too. So painful.
If you've got a ton of pop-ups, a bunch of flash and color, or lots of ads bouncing around, unless you are selling blinking, bouncing things, you are detracting from your natural personality as a company, and worse, could be scaring off potential clients.
- Keep movement to a minimum, and make it count: So, if you have a bouncy ad, don't put on more bouncy things. If you have a site with a parallax scroll, don't add in more slidey things. With our present volume of media overload, on sites these days, less is often more.
- Showcase your unique features on your web pages: About one or two nice cameo features per page is enough for tired web-trolling eyes. So a slideshow gallery is great. But just one. A blinking ad is fine. Just not ten. A pop-up is good. If it doesn't keep popping up over and over in your visitors' faces.
Build Credibility with Graphics
The first thing I do before I buy anything from anyone is look for a human photo, and good graphics. I am not alone in this:
- Your portrait adds credibility: You are a real person at a real company, and you can use that warmth and humanness to your advantage. If you post a genuine photo of yourself, your clients will trust you more. According to BrightLocal's research in their study on images that inspire trust, 52% of respondents indicated that a photo of the business owner was the biggest trust factor, over generic images, or none at all.
- Keep it real: Some experts advise against crowd photos because the eye has nowhere to go. I am in favor of group photos though, provided that photo is of real people in your company, and not some random stock photo of sugary-smiley people that are clearly not your When I research a company, I like to see who I might be dealing with. Do they look nice? Can I build a rapport with them? Chances are, your visitors are doing the same thing.
- Use relevant stock photos: Don't just post a pic to post a pic. Make it count. Make it relevant. Your readers are going to check out your visuals first, and if they detract from your message, they add zero value.
- Give credit: If you use stock photos, or a local photographer, make sure to pay credit where it's due – that's just good business, and good karma.
- Add a caption: According to Kissmetrics, in their blog post on conversions with respect to graphics, focusing on Dan Ogilvy's commissioned research, captions underneath the images get noticed and read, an average of 300% more than the actual content.
There's some stuff to chew on. So go forth and develop your online reputation – and when in doubt, be genuine. That will win over your ideal market every time. If you need a little help fine-tuning your website content, reach out – I am here to help!
Feel free to leave comments and tell me what you found effective for your site! I would love to hear!

Gideon is Zak's older brother, who wants to be a hero...
Acadia is a women that lives a safe, predictable life...that is until she comes in to a large sum of money. For the first time in her life, she goes out of her comfort zone...and her life is changed forever.
Zak, Gid and Acadia are plunged into a life threatening situation that they might not all make it out of.
If being chased through jungles, dealing with unsavory 'officials', things blowing up, being shot at and not knowing who to trust is just your cup of tea...throw in steamy sex, subtle humor and an unexpected twist, and you have Cherry Adair's Hush.
I highly recommend Hush to anyone that likes action, drama, romance and intrigue in their choice of literature!
5 out of 5 stars
All of the backstory and becoming familiarized with the characters paid off in the end. There are a lot of characters in this story and without the 'getting to know' the characters, you would have had a hard time keeping up with everyone.
I usually don't like so many characters in a story because of the fact that it gets confusing. But Nora Roberts did an excellent job helping us to get to know each and every character.
Rowan and Gull are great characters, as are all of them, but you can't help but be excited for their story. It's always great to watch when two strong characters come together. Rowan and Gull are both independent people that have a full life on their own, so to see the relationship form between them, as equals, is fun and exciting. There are no weak characters that require someone else to make them complete. Instead of being the missing 'part' of their lives, they are complimentary and enhance each other.
I would recommend this book to anyone that loves a good love story, a good mystery and a good story of friendship. While I felt it started slowly, there was no other way it would have worked as well!
5 out of 5 stars
Author Stefne Miller's book, 'Salvaged' is a truly beautiful reading experience. Attie survived the accident that took the life of her mother and her best friend, but the unseen wounds are worse than any she suffered physically. The Lord surrounds Attie with people that love her and want to help her, if she'll let them. Her main champion is Riley, the twin brother of Attie's best friend that died in the accident. Riley is still dealing with his own pain when Attie comes to live with him and his parents for the summer. He is determined to help Attie through her pain while still dealing with his own. Not only must they work through the tragedy of losing loved ones to a horrific accident, but they must also deal with survivor's guilt and everyday life. You will fall in love with Attie and Riley from the start.
Salvaged is a lesson in healing, forgiveness, unconditional love and finding your way. It is beautifully written and the journey from the beginning to the end is a spiritual awakening. You get to hear the story from both Attie and Riley's point of view; tying the story together wonderfully. My only regret in reading this book was that I didn't allow myself enough time to read it in one sitting. It was hard to put down and I couldn't wait to get back to it.
5 out of 5 stars

When we think of car accidents, we often only think of the drivers. But what if you're a passenger in a car? What if the driver gets into a wreck and you're hurt, too?
This was the case for Sheri. She was a regular passenger in a vehicle driving down the highway when all of a sudden the driver behind her lost control and slammed into her. After several MRI's and X-rays, doctors discovered that Sheri had endured cervical, thoracic and lumbar sprains, in addition to several other serious back problems. Because of her injuries, Sheri's medical bills totaled over $35,000, which included all the costs she needed for therapies, medical imaging and rehabilitation.
Life became difficult for Sheri after the wreck. She had severe back pain and doing normal daily activities - like cooking and cleaning - turned into a long and painful process. Additionally, she was becoming more and more worried about her mounting medical bills. Her husband had recently lost his job and she was looking for a job herself to help in the interim. This, of course, became impossible after the wreck.
How the Anderson Law Firm Helped
Unable to seek employment due to her pain and unable to pay her hospital bills, Sheri turned to us. When she called us, she was confused, frustrated and stressed about her finances and her pain. She had never been in this kind of accident before and wasn't sure how to handle a car accident injury case.
We assured Sheri we would take control of everything. We got right to work gathering evidence and contacting the insurance company on Sheri's behalf. We fought the at-fault driver's insurance company and demanded that Sheri be fully compensated for the medical treatment and emotional suffering she endured. Here at the Anderson Law Firm, our lawyers and professional staff were able to create a strong enough case that forced the insurance company to provide Sheri with her financial compensation.
> What Evidence Do You Need to File a Claim?
Case Summary
The insurance company was forced to comply to our demands and agreed to our terms. Sheri was very satisfied with the outcome of $61,000.

This past weekend was our beautiful little niece's first birthday and I was honoured that my sister-in-law asked me to help with the decorations. This is one of the cutest party themes for little ones out there (at least in my opinion) and with her great ideas, it turned out absolutely amazing!
Here are a few pictures from the party; including a birthday banner, fortune cupcake wrapper, tent card …. and the popcorn cones were a hit! My personal favourite was the 'I am One' banner and the tags on the old fashioned milk jugs for the milk and cookies!

Entity Framework 6 provider
The Entity Framework provider in the current version of WCF Data Services does not yet support Entity Framework version 6.0 or future versions. Please make this a priority, as there is functionality I REALLY need from EF6, like table valued functions from a code-first model and reduced model building time.

Before closing, note that there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to retrieve the DbContext anymore. If that's true, the issue is relatively critical for an expected majority of users.
Jeremy Caney commented
To Sean's point, there is an Alpha 2 release of an Entity Framework Data Service Provider now. However, it's obviously still in alpha, and I've had problems getting it work correctly. I'm happy to see progress on this, but it remains a priority.
Sean Hanley commented
The latest release, 5.6, supports this now, although you have to modify your code a bit:

Coleman Weathermaster 10
Plenty of space and darn good weather protection.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $150
Plenty of space and darn good weather protection.
- Easy to assemble and disassemble.
We own 36 acres in northern New Mexico. When we go to the "Ranch", we stay in our Weathermaster 10. It takes below 0°C well and can handle the strong winds falling off the mountain peaks nearby. Rain was shed as expected and the frost never penetrated the interior.
It's a big tent for just 2 people but we organize the second room into the armory and clothing area.
My daughter has 3 kids and loves to camp. She'll be seeing a Weathermaster 10 under her Christmas tree this year.
Where to Buy
The Coleman Weathermaster 10 is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen April 11, 2018 at SunnySports.
