Grimm Agency, Book 2
Synopsis: Marissa Locks, newly appointed partner of the Grimm Agency, has a reputation for making a mess of magical matters—although causing Armageddon is a new low, even for her…
Marissa is due for a little happily ever after. After all, she did kill the evil Fairy Godmother, end a war, and snag a sweet promotion within the Fairy Godfather’s magical-problem-solving Agency. But between maintaining a relationship with someone whose amorous advances can cause third-degree burns, dealing with a killer-poodle infestation, and helping her best friend, Princess Ari, learn to wield spells more powerful than curing a hangover, she’s not getting as much peace and quiet as she hoped.
When an enemy from her past appears to exact a terrible revenge, Marissa’s life goes from hectic to hell on earth. With Grimm inexplicably gone and Ari trapped by a sleeping spell, Marissa decides to fight fire with hellfire—and accidentally begins a countdown to the apocalypse.
With the end of days extremely nigh, Marissa will have to master royal politics, demonic law, and biblical plagues in a hurry—because even the end of the world can’t keep the Agency from opening for business…
Review: I really liked the first volume of this series and I admit that I was very excited to be able to immerse myself in the following novel to discover some new adventures of our beloved Marissa. I must say that she went through many things in the previous volume. I was a little scared at first I admit, because I could not see where the author wanted to take us, I could not understand if we had a real plot or if it was just the addition of small events. But after several chapters, we finally understand what he is trying to do and he plunges us again with a great pleasure in the history, following our heroine.
Marissa is now in a relationship with her beloved dragon, Liam. Yet all is not rosy and our young officer still a little afraid of getting pregnant and so passing the curse of her companion to their children. So when a job arises, promising to give enough power to lift the enchantment, Liam is determined to accept it and he makes it clear that it is important to leave Marissa a moment to finally have a normal relationship. Alas, him gone, troubles are only adding for our heroine. She finds herself having to manage a new character (if it was just that), she ends up signing a pact with a demon without even meaning to. And what do you think he wants? Nothing more than having Marissa leading the Apocalypse on earth. In addition, her contract prevents her to do the contrary; she will therefore have to find a lot of tricks to try to circumvent all that is happening. Besides, she won’t have anyone to help her in this context, as Grimm is gone, Ari plays Princess Sleeping Beauty and a former enemy appears trying to remove all of them. So yes Marissa will really have many things to do and being alone, nothing will be really easy for her. Yet she is determined to find a solution for all of them.
As I said even if it took me a little time to get into the story, once it was done I really got carried away by all with pleasure. We learn some revelations in the history saddening us for some. But anyway, we’re affected by the relationship between Liam and Marissa, a beautiful story that continues despite the continuing obstacles. As we discover more about Grimm and the mark of our agent. I confess that I did not expect at all this and I was very surprised to understand what was exactly going on. New characters appear as I said and I think some will become dominant. And then of course we have our beloved Marissa, her Apocalypse was really great, I loved her ideas as I loved the horsemen who come to her. A slight preference for Death elsewhere but I’ll let you find out about them. Anyway this story holds many things and I was very pleased to read the whole thing. The end also opens many new possibilities and I am impatient and curious to see what will happen to our heroine with this situation out of the ordinary.
So yes, it was a new and very good novel that the author presents here and I’ll wait until the third to learn more.

Thanksgiving is often a special kind of holiday that’s celebrated in a very few countries around the globe. It is mainly celebrated within the United States on the 4th Thursday in the month of November and about the 2nd Monday of October in Canada. The significance of celebrating Thanksgiving Day is always to commemorate the manifestation of a good harvest being reaped by offering because of the gods. This is really a traditional holiday that traces its roots returning to the entire year 1621 when the pilgrims from Plymouth offered a great Thanksgiving to the gods for a good harvest in this year. Thanksgiving is observed like a religious and cultural tradition nowadays.
In today’s world Thanksgiving Day is widely known while using cutting of your over roasted Turkey that’s the main dish in the dinner. Here families sit across the table and gives prayer and thanksgiving before feasting off about the turkey. All the members of the family bond with this one big day and also since this holiday comes before Christmas it is celebrate with much pomp and fair as Christmas. There is also a tradition of members of the family and friends saying because of each other for many their help and support. It is usually offered as being a toast for the person which you talking about while thanking.
Thanksgiving Day has a special spot for little children. Because people send many thanksgiving letters on their members of the family, friends and household, in addition there are special cards available just for small kids and kids for letting them write thanks with their family members in their way. These are called as the Thanksgiving coloring pages. People outline thanksgiving coloring pictures too. These cards are available in all the books and gift shops. These cards include quite easy drawings of an Father, Mother, Sister and Brother or a Family being a whole. What makes prepaid credit cards more interesting is always that they’re mere drawings along with the kids are given coloring materials to color these drawings and write their unique Thanksgiving message for his or her family members and friends. This a fun activity to deal with as they’re busy engrossed using their coloring books whilst the parents can cook the thanksgiving dinner peacefully. There are specific but simple instructions on these pages and cards which allows the youngsters to properly color the specified drawings given around the pages. Also there are blank pages provided for your children where they can draw their very own drawing and color them accordingly.
Due on the rush on Thanksgiving Day many parents avoid getting some time to acquire these coloring books because of their children. Hence another alternative will be the Thanksgiving coloring pages. These pages are available online then one can download a complete sheet and print them for him or her. It is very easy because one has to merely find the page of the specific image, download it and print it so that the kids can perform their color accordingly. It’s a time saving process.

By Atty Philip N. Wesseh (PNW)
For the second time another debate has ensued on a ending action by some members or the Legislature, especially , the House of Representatives calling on the General Auditing Commission (GAC) and the Public Procurement and Concession Commission (PPCC) to conduct an audit of the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL). Last week, the plenary of the House of Representatives agreed for the conduct of the audit following a communication by Montserrado County Representative, Edwin M. Snowe, Jr. who complained that over the past few months, CBL has been involved with moving into various counties and giving direct financial assistance or loans outside of the National Budget and Commercial Banks.
In his communication, Rep. Snowe informed plenary that the initiative taken by CBL is helpful to the citizens of the country but it is however important to ensure that those activities are carried out within the confines of the laws and status. He said the audit is to make certain that public funds are not used for political motives or as a way of buying future votes.
Expounding to newsmen after the endorsement of his communication, Rep. Snowe said the PPCC should work with the GAC and if two months is more or less for the audit it would be welcomed because auditing is a technical work and it requires time.
Interestingly, since the plenary’s endorsement of Snowe’s communication, there has been heated debate in corners as to the intent of such a decision. It can be recalled that sometimes ago, there was a debate after the House of Representatives began a process to amend a portion of the 1999 Act that created the bank to bar the governor and others from seeking political ambition.
Despite opposition, as many said such a law was discriminatory and that the Legislature went ahead passing the Act.Today, because of the expeditious manner that characterized that process, it has been termed as the “4G Law,” because many of those who were opposed at the time held the view that it was only intended or targeted at Governor Mills Jones, who it is highly believed may be asked to contest the presidency in 2017, as he was becoming popular because of the loan scheme and establishment of rural financial institutions.
In the wake of the passage of the amended Act 2014, I wrote an article entitled: “The History Making Aspect Of Liberia: The Case Of The CBL Amendment Act,“ in which it was reported that the “Liberian Senate amended a portion of the Act that created the CBL, barring its executive governor and members of the Board from contesting elective office in this country. Additionally, the amendment said that should they decide to do so after leaving office, they have to wait for three years consecutively after leaving office before contesting for any elective posts.
“The proposed amendment which the House of Representatives has concurred with states, “The Executive Governor of the Central Bank of Liberia and members of the Board of Governors shall be prohibited to contest political office(s) while serving in their respective offices and shall not be qualified to contest any electable office within three years consecutively after the expiration of their tenure and in his/her resignation from the Central Bank of Liberia.”
Even though the proponents of the act, said the amendment is not targeted at the present Governor, Mills Jones, it was generally believed that this is only an attempt by the lawmakers to deny this man who it is perceived has political ambition for the presidency and is using the loan scheme to gain popularity.
Unsurprisingly, the issue formed major headlines in some of the local dailies in the country. For the nation’s oldest daily, the Daily Observer, it carried a front page story, captioned:” CBL Uneasy…As House Concurs with Senate to deny CBL Executives from elections,” while the New Democrat carried it as, “Jones Dream Hangs,” and the Women Voices had its headline as, “Legislature Kills Governor Jones Presidential Dream.”
The Heritage for its part at the time carried the banner headline: “Lawmakers Clash Over Concurrence Of CBL Amended Act.” As for this paper because of the speedy or rapidity that characterized Tuesday’s sitting, and its unprecedented nature, gave its story an idiomatic headline, which read: “4G” Concurrence At The Capitol Building.”
Again, the CBL and lawmakers have come to the spotlight with this latest communication to conduct the audit. This is once more seen as a decoy targeted at the Governor. Some said it was the issue of fearing an audit, but the continuous targeting of this institution and its head by these lawmakers, by providing misinformation to the public, especially regarding the issue of audit of the bank. Others are in disbelief of any amended act that empowers the GAC to conduct an audit of the CBL.
Furthering the debate on the issue of amended act, political commentator, Darius Dillon said it is not the issue of ambiguity as the CBL act is clear. He described as a “lie” assertion by Representative Snowe that an amendment to the CBL Act requiring the GAC to Audit the CBL was passed by the Legislature on December 22, 2014 amidst the Ebola epidemic and challenged Representative Snowe and the entire Legislature to make public their ledger, and minutes relative to the debate about their expert opinions before the passage.
Mr. Dillon who appeared on the Truth Breakfast Show last week also challenged Representative Snowe to produce a copy of such a law to prove that it was printed into hand bill on March 6, 2015. Furthermore, he noted that it is now clear that the CBL under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Joseph Mills Jones is being targeted despite the good work he is doing to bring economic emancipation to thousands of Liberians through its micro-finance loan initiative.
Initially, as I said that although Dr. Jones has not announced his bid for the 2017 presidency, it is highly believed and is being widely circulated that he may contest because he is winning a lot of hearts through the loan programs of the bank. Given the level of poverty in the country, there is no gaining saying that many persons, especially those in the rural areas, see him as someone who is identifying with them, as it is commonly said that people are always interested in people who “put bread on their table.”
Whether we like it or not, Mills Jones is now a popular person based on his functions. We should forget that popularity is also an important factor in politics, and so should he desire to venture into that path, this would grease his elbows. As such, to dampen his chances, some measures must be taken to prevent him. Many may be wondering why only the CBL should be audited. Presently, there is this audit about the Ebola fund. Recently, I supported a call by Rep. Snowe for his colleagues who received Ebola money to make report. How far has that gone before moving on to the CBL?
In all fairness, those who hold the view that all of these are targeted at the governor to “spoil’ his chances if he decides to run, have all reasons for this, especially in the wake of claim that the Lower House is also planning to put up a candidate, preferably the present speaker of the Unity Party.
Whenever I ruminate on this issue of the lawmakers and the CBL, I am reminded of the ugly days during the regime of the late Samuel K. Doe, who fearing the strength and popularity of the then Liberia’s People (LPP) then headed by Dr. Amos sawyer, now Chairman of the Governance Commission, did everything to prevent those two grassroots’ parties from contesting the 1985 General and Presidential Elections. Besides, the late Doe’s fear of strong opposition at the time resulted in making many persons popular, either by arresting or linking those to subversive acts.
Today, this may not be the same modus operandi because of the present dispensation. But what is obtaining may remind us of attempts to prevent this man from contesting. Let me say my argument is not whether or not the bank should be audited, but my point is that the way and manner in which these lawmakers are going about this, would give one the feeling or belief that there is something fishy about the action against the bank.
Also, as a student of communication and given our sociology, let me make it clear that these lawmakers may not know that they are adding to the popularity of this man in that they are subconsciously making him more popular.
For me, if this man is involved in something that ultra vires, then, there is reason for concern. But to use the issue of giving loan that the ordinary people appreciate, it is only adding grease to the elbows of the governor should he decide to contest.
Let me also say that sometimes people do not intend to contest in a political race, but some prevailing circumstances may encourage them to do so. I recall that in 1995, now Senator, George Weah, really did not intent to contest the presidency, but when he received many offers to be a “running-mate’ to some individuals eyeing the presidency at the time, he was encouraged to join the process as a formidable candidate. It was then based on that I wrote the first story about the calls for Ambassador Weah to contest the elections, something he graciously accepted.
Considering the moves by lawmakers against the CBL and its present Governor, one can logically deduce that it is all geared towards frustrating him, should he desire to contest. But if care is not taken, this could be as boomerang or something suicidal. I Rest My Case.

Do’s and Don’ts after PRK Surgery
Patients who are considering corrective laser surgery, particularly PRK surgery, should familiarize themselves with some do’s and don’ts after PRK surgery to encourage a speedy and painless recovery.
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is an outpatient laser procedure that usually only takes about fifteen minutes and produces 20/40 vision in 95% of those who elect to get it. If you are thinking about taking the next step in making poor vision an ailment of the past, keep reading to get an idea of what to expect during and after PRK surgery.
What to expect during PRK surgery
Is PRK eye surgery safe? The actual procedure is quite short, usually finishing up in just under 15 minutes. We understand that the experience can be nerve-wracking, so we offer an oral sedative for your comfort if you feel you could use it.
Your ophthalmologist will administer numbing drops in your eyes to reduce discomfort and work on one eye at a time, gently removing the top layer of your cornea (epithelium) and reshaping its irregularities with ultraviolet light. This beam is only used on the surface of your cornea and does not interfere with the corneal flap in the same way that LASIK does, it does however make the healing process a bit longer because the epithelium needs to regrow instead of just being reattached.
Continue reading: PRK vs LASIK recovery time
When the procedure is finished the surgeon will place a soft bandage contact lens on your eye, which both protects it and encourages healing of your cornea. You will be given eye drops (which you should use early and often over the following weeks) and consummate instructions before being driven home to rest.
The Don’ts: What can you not do after PRK surgery?
What you can do is rarely as important as what you cannot do when recovering from surgery. You probably have some questions like “Can you go outside after PRK surgery?” or “How soon can I drive after PRK surgery?” Here is a list of a few don’ts that will complicate recovery:
- Do not under any circumstances rub or touch your eyes: It can displace the bandage contact lens and land you back in the office for a replacement.
- Do not exercise or physically exert yourself: Perspiration can irritate and dry your already irritated and dry eyes.
- Do not drive until your doctor tells you it is safe to do so.
- Do not swim. This means no pools, no hot tubs, and no steam rooms. You may shower starting the day after your procedure but keep those eyes shut to make sure soap and water get nowhere near your eyes.
- Avoid dust, dirt, and smoke.
- Avoid eye makeup and skin creams around the eyes for a week after surgery.
- Avoid bright lights.
The Dos: Recovery tips for PRK surgery
The best way to ensure a comfortable recovery is to lay the groundwork. Inform your boss that you might need a couple of days off of work to ensure you are fully recovered before returning. It can take a few days for your vision to begin to clear up but if you are patient with your eyes and communicative with your doctor, you will have nothing to worry about. Here is some more practical advice:
- Follow up with your doctor: You can expect vision changes in the positive and negative as your eyes heal. It is normal for your eyes to feel dry for a few weeks following the procedure.
- Use your eye drops!
- Wear eye shields at night following the procedure.
- You may return to work once the bandage contact lens has been removed. If the bandage contact comes out do not attempt to put it back in and call your doctor.
- You will experience increased sensitivity to bright lights. Wear sunglasses, even during the day and indoors, for the first few days following the procedure.
- Consult your doctor before and after your procedure about meds to help with possible discomfort.
- Be aware of the PRK side effects so that you know when (and more importantly) when not to be alarmed. Things like dry eyes and blurry vision should not worry you.

2020 GENERAL ELECTION
Slow but smooth election
Most people had their work hours cut, several have lost their jobs, families are tightening their budget, the private sector is struggling, and residents and the government are essentially dependent on federal funding due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, but that did not stop thousands of face mask-wearing voters from making their voices heard at yesterday’s generally peaceful but out-of-the-ordinary election in the CNMI.
As of press time last night, the Commonwealth Election Commission had yet to start tabulating the ballots. They weren’t expected to do so until around 10pm or 11pm last night.
In this extraordinary election, people had more choices as the Democratic Party had 18 candidates or almost a full slate, which is the first time in over four decades for the party.
The Republican Party had 21 candidates, while nine are running as independents. There were also 20 nonpartisans, including one justice and two judges who were on the retention ballot.
Commonwealth Election Commission executive director Julita A. Villagomez said they had no major problems at all. This was echoed by CEC administrative hearing officer Kayla Igitol, who said the election has been running well, and they haven’t had any major concerns.
“It’s just voters not knowing whether they’re registered or they forget that they’re registered, or they forget that they never registered,” she said. Others failed to vote in three successive elections and are only now trying to come out and vote, not knowing that they’re now considered inactive.
“But that’s the only situations we’ve been running into. Nothing major. Things have been going really smooth,” she said.
Igitol said the early voting did help with the pace that they’re seeing on election day yesterday—pretty slow but smooth. “But it was 21 days. That was a long time,” she said, referring to the early voting period.
As of Monday, a total of 8,369 had cast early votes in the CNMI. The 21-day early voting on Saipan and seven-day early voting on Tinian and Rota ended Monday.
As of Oct. 7, there was a total of 18,519 registered voters in the CNMI. As of Oct. 26, there were 1,625 absentee voters.
Villagomez said the CEC board met yesterday afternoon to formalize their tabulation committee.
Poima Maleah Mafnas Tarkong, 21, who was among those who voted yesterday afternoon at Dandan Middle School, was supposed to avail of the 21-day early voting process, but she was just so busy being a full-time student at Northern Marianas College and has two jobs. “So since today I was off and my classes were cancelled, I actually had the time to come and vote today,” Tarkong said.
She said the voting process was very fast and very easy so she really appreciates the CEC officials and staff for working on it.
Tarkong said she decided to select the candidates based of what they stand for. She said she selects people who seem to really do want change and make the islands better and not people who just talk and make empty promises.
Tarkong said she based it on her knowledge of what they actually do for the community and how she knows them as best as she could. “The problem here is we don’t really have a lot to choose from in certain instances. So I tried to incorporate that into voting but sometimes it’s hard when there’s not a lot of representation,” Tarkong added.
House Speaker Blas Jonathan T. Attao (R-Saipan), who is seeking re-election for Precinct 3 under the Republican Party, said that having the Democratic Party fielding many candidates is a good opportunity for people to make choices.
Attao said the availability of more candidates a very good outcome for the election. “It’s positive because we have choices and, at the end of the day, people get to decide who will be representing them in the next two years and we’ve got to respect that,” he said. “Opportunities is all that people ask for and they should get those opportunities.”
Attao gave credit to the CEC for stepping up. He said the CEC went to the Legislature to work something out and urge the Legislature to pass a temporary law for this election because of the COVID-19 pandemic that’s facing the world.
“We give credit to those guys at the election commission for working that out and making sure that the people’s safety comes first,” Attao said.
Former House speaker Heinz Hofschneider said in an interview after voting at Garapan Elementary School that he wishes all the candidates the best. Hofschneider said the Democrats, the Republicans, and independents worked hard in this election. “May the best candidates that the people see win,” he said.
Hofschneider said this is a difficult period that everyone is experiencing, not only the CNMI but around the world. “We have so many challenges. And I’m hoping for the best that people pay attention to the people and focus on the economy,” he said.
Hofschneider said that, without the economy, even if there is a grandiose plan to benefit the people, it won’t be possible if the CNMI does not rejuvenate the economy.
Delegate Gregorio Kilili C. Sablan (Ind-MP) and his wife, Andrea, voted at the Garapan Elementary School at 9am.
Sablan said the voting process was organized and that the CEC had to enforce safety measures so it took a little bit of time to vote.
Sablan said he understands that maybe over half of the people voted either through early voting or absentee ballots, which make it a little easier for in-person voting yesterday.
“Today I think it’s going to be a little slower but also safer,” he said.
Sablan said he is humbled and grateful, being a sure winner as he is running unopposed.
He said it allowed him more time to do the work that he needed to done in Congress. “We got this education money for teachers and school support staff that I’ve been working on for some time. We finally we’re able to put together and we introduced it in the House and that brings 10 years of funding for teachers and support staff—the salaries basically,” Sablan said.
The delegate said the Democratic Party fielding many candidates is good as it gives people more choices. He said the two sides can debate their policies and explain to the people their differences, if there are any.
“This, I hope, is a start of the rebirth if, I may, of the two party-system,” Sablan said.
More voters started arriving at polling places between 10am and 1pm.
Gov. Ralph DLG Torres and first lady Diann Torres voted early last Saturday at the Kagman Community Center.
There are 68 candidates for 39 positions in this election.
Aside from the delegate’s position, there are 38 positions up for grabs.
Voters elected the delegate, one senator each for Saipan, Tinian, and Rota, 20 members of the House of Representatives, eight members of the municipal councils for Saipan, Tinian, and Rota, and three Board of Education members.
On Saipan, there are three positions for the municipal council, but there are only two candidates.
For Board of Education, there is no position for Tinian.
People also voted whether to retain or not on the bench CNMI Supreme Court Associate Justice Perry B. Inos, and Superior Court Presiding Judge Roberto C. Naraja and Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo.

Designated hospice rooms in nursing homes : a new model of end-of-life care
Metadata[+] Show full item record
An aging population, the prediction that approximately 40% of elderly Americans will die in a nursing home by the year 2020, and a paucity of nursing homes designed to meet the needs of dying residents is creating the perfect storm. In an effort to respond to this trend, innovative nursing homes are establishing designated hospice rooms. This qualitative study utilized a multi-method design to describe these unique settings. The study identified two major themes: specific physical environmental features present in designated hospice rooms; and a prevailing emphasis on accommodating the needs of family members. The findings from this study will be beneficial to nursing home owners and administrators, social workers, and architects dedicated to improving the end-of-life experience for nursing home residents and their families.

How Sam's Health MOT helped her lose 6 stone in a year
Sam was never unhappy with her weight. Despite being 15 stone and living what she calls a sedentary life, she was always a happy person, with a loving husband and son.
But as she went on with her daily routine, passing a Nuffield Health gym every day when she took her four-year-old to nursery, something clicked.
“I just found it ridiculous that I was passing the gym every day but not going in. So I decided eventually that I would do something about it and enquired about membership.”
As part of her membership Sam was given her first of four Health MOTs when she joined. It raised a grave concern. With a BMI of 37, Sam was clinically obese, leaving her at risk of a wide range of health problems, including diabetes.
Sam had been on a number of fitness programmes before, but says exercise had always been a chore for her before joining Nuffield Health.
“My Personal Trainer had the results of my Health MOT and made an exercise programme that was very specific to me. She refreshes it regularly so I don’t get bored and has me trying things I would never have tried on my own. She’s helped me develop a love for exercise that has changed my life.”
Under guidance, Sam took small steps to start her fitness regime - swimming and walking on the treadmill. But one day she had an overwhelming desire to start running.
“I was on the treadmill and suddenly thought ‘just go for it’. It was hard at first, it hurt. But I knew it was making a difference and I could just feel the weight falling off,” she says of her first small victory.
One year on and Sam is a different person, living a new life that she loves.
Sam’s BMI has reduced from 37 to 24, putting her firmly in the ‘healthy’ category. All of her other measurements from cholesterol to blood sugar are now healthy too.
An unexpected side effect for Sam has been the halt of a 20 year battle with alopecia (hair loss). “It’s cleared up completely,” she says. “I used to have bald patches and would cover them up with other bits of hair but one day I just realised I didn’t have any patches any more. My hair is thick and healthy.”
But, Sam says, the best consequence has been the shopping. “I used to hate clothes shopping because I knew nothing would fit. Now that I’ve lost so much weight I can shop in all of the designer stores. I won’t say how much money I’ve spent.”
Her love of fashion proved to be a strong motivator for Sam, whose husband promised her a new pair of Christian Louboutin shoes for every stone she lost. She now has six pairs sitting in her wardrobe.

March 1 2015 Latest news:
Martyn Davey, Head of Horticulture and Design, Easton College
Tuesday, November 20, 2012
The gloom of winter seems to be pushing its way ever-closer. Not the best time to be out in the garden you may think, but actually there is still a lot to be done. Down on the allotment it is time to take down the canes that have supported my runner beans through the summer. The top growth will pull away from the canes easily and this will make good compost. If any material is showing signs of disease it is best to burn it rather than compost it, as I did with tomatoes that got blight earlier in the year. Winter is a good time to clear the plot and burn any excessive waste. Annual weeds can be dug into the base of trenches when preparing ground for next year. Add compost and improve the soil too.
• Plant garlic outdoors around now. Set individual cloves, either in single holes or in a drill, so that the tips just show. Choose a sunny position, and ideally in soil that has been previously manured. The bulbs will be ready for lifting next summer. It is also a very good time for planting rhubarb. Set good quality crowns in well-manured ground, and mulch them in the spring. The rhubarb plant will be able to stay in this position for around five years.This is an ideal time of year to lift and divide overgrown crowns too. You should do this every four years or so. When dividing ensure you have a growing point on each section and only divide into a maximum of four to avoid making the plants too small. Plant out in well-prepared and rich soil.
• The tops of herbaceous perennials should be removed and shredded to make good compost, as they die off. Only remove the tops from plants that do not have a value in retaining their top growth or seedheads over winter. Sometimes the seedheads can be attractive covered in frost during the colder months, and top growth can help protect the plant from the severest weather.
• Water houseplants sparingly as their growth should be slowing down. The best way to water small plants is to plunge their pots into tepid water in the bath or kitchen sink. Allow them to soak for an hour and then remove and set them down to drain before returning them to their display position. Repeat this every two to three weeks, as necessary. Mist the foliage with rainwater or distilled water to prevent plants scorching from central heating.
• Sweet peas are always popular. Most are sown in spring under cover, or directly into soil where they are to flower in the garden, but starting the seed off now will result in better root systems and stronger plants. Autumn-sown sweet peas need to be grown slowly, under cool glass you’ll get stocky plants and if the seedlings are potted individually they’ll develop a big root system for rapid establishment. Try soaking the seeds before sowing, or mixing them with moist vermiculite or peat where they can sprout or ‘chit’ before potting singly in small pots. After germination keep the young in a cool frost-free greenhouse or cold frame and pinch out the growing tip when they have made four to five leaves. This will encourage them to sprout from the base to make stronger plants next year.

The European Union has had a social agenda since the early days of the European Economic Community (EEC), argues Joachim Fritz-Vannahme, director of European projects at the Bertelsmann Stiftung, in a November paper.
Even during early decades of European integration, the EEC was “pursuing social policies […] on a very large scale,” Fritz-Vannahme argues.
Taking the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) as an example, the paper argues that it is a social policy in the sense that it aims to “raise the [bloc’s] level of agricultural productivity, supply consumers with sufficient food stuffs at reasonable prices and ensure appropriate incomes in the agricultural sector”.
EU structural and cohesion policies, which support Europe’s poorest regions, also “amount to social policy inasmuch as we are dealing with a classical policy of redistribution,” argues Fritz-Vannahme.
Furthermore, the policy priorities set by the Lisbon agenda, which aims to make the EU the most dynamic and competitive knowledge-based economy in the world, presuppose “social changes”, the author insists. Some of the Lisbon aims include reaching “the employment quota of 70 per cent of the EU population,” ensuring that “one in two workers over the age of 50 have a job” and “increasing the proportion of working women,” he observes.
“Thus, whoever wants a competitive knowledge society cannot dodge the issue of a social Europe,” Fritz-Vannahme claims.
The policy drive towards a social Europe is also supported by polls indicating that Europeans are “not interested in competitiveness”. “They are merely concerned about the security of their workplace and of their savings,” the author maintains.
At the same time, however, Fritz-Vannahme admits that “solidarity in a welfare state presupposes a minimum ‘team spirit’ or co-responsibility”.
Defining European solidarity is “just as important for our future as the question of defining the right kind of economic and social governance for Europe,” his paper concludes.


The most important car park trade fairs in Europe are about to begin. If you wish to see the newest trends for car park management, then visit our stand (07.307). We will present all features of our flagship RFID UHF reader Master 01, the most often awarded RFID device in Central & Eastern Europe.
We bring to Amsterdam our universal and modular RFID UHF reader which can effectively use Bluetooth and GSM technology as well. As a result, this is a very convenient device for car park management. Master 01 allows drivers to lift barrier in three ways:
- with windshield sticker (RFID UHF);
- with smartphone ? by shaking it or using mobile application (Bluetooth);
- dialling a number on any phone (GSM).
It is exceptional that Master 01 combines all three technologies. Earlier, separate devices were needed to serve every single technology. Now, with Master 01 installed at car park just one tool is enough. Comfort of use is provided by wide choice of communication interfaces available in reader: RS 232, RS 485, LAN, WLAN as well as Wiegand. Reader Master 01 is also equipped with 4 relay outputs.
Speaking of installation, Master 01 is plug&play device. It means that reader works instantly after short and simple installation at car park. Car park with reader can work in autonomous or system mode:
- autonomous mode: no control software nor computer is needed. All data is saved into Master 01, which autonomously decides whether to lift barrier or not;
- system mode: reader uses data from computer and software to verify drivers? authorization to drive in car park.
Our device is already in use at hundreds of car parks across all Europe and Near East. Everyday it proves its usefulness and reliability, regardless the size of car park, number or type of vehicles (cars or trucks). Upcoming Intertraffic will be an opportunity for everybody to personally experience not only all features of Master 01 RFID UHF reader, but also a comfort it provides. Come and meet Smart Technology Group at stand 07.307. Register your visit here.

K'ai & Vrosi
“Peshtemal“ is a multicoloured striped pattern textile woven from cotton yarn. What makes it so unique is the way it is manufactured and the story behind it. It is even considered as a cultural heritage.
The women of the Black Sea region used their “peshtemal” as a scarf and as a garment, while they collected nuts and tea, while they worked on lands fertilized by the rain.
What did we do? We changed the utilization area of the “peshtemal” and we adapted it to everyday life. We brought the “peshtemal” that are weaved using wooden loom which has only a few craftsmen left and which is sunk into oblivion, with genuine leather and handwoven baskets. We designed unique products by combining each of the unique peshtemals that are 100% weaved by using hand looms, with leather in the hands of master craftsmen. We strongly believe that you will welcome these products with love.
We named this unparalleled initiative as K’ai & Vrosi
Why? Because these two words mean “GOOD” in the Laz language. Therefore it is a reduplication. But “K’ai” is predominantly used in Artvin, Arhavi region and “Vrosi” is mostly used by Laz people of Ardeşen. This reduplication is formed by words belonging to these two regions. Therefore, we reflected the diversity of the region into our brand name.
Craftsmen can earn almost five times more of the “peshtemal” price that they will weave on the loom in three days in today's conditions from a day's work in orchards, therefore they move away from traditional weaving as a profession and also they are having a hard time finding buyers because of the unfair competition caused by the mechanical fabrication. This causes the traditional fabrication of the red, yellow and black striped garment that symbolizes the region to be sunk into oblivion. We, as K’ai & Vrosi are a first in this field in Turkey and we set off a journey, for keeping our traditional value, the Black Sea “peshtemal” weaved on the wooden hand loom, alive and to support local production.
We reinterpreted this fabric which is the product of very rich culture and which utilization area had been diminished in the modern era. The ”peshtemal” that came to life by the use of leather in contemporary and useful pieces will hereupon be present on every person and in every street corner. The time has come for us to pay our debt to the Black Sea.

This Secret Tunnel Played A Huge Role In Mississippi’s History
The site of one of the Civil War’s bloodiest battles, the Vicksburg National Military Park was established in 1899 in order to commemorate the siege and defense of Vicksburg. Today, the park is filled with hundreds of monuments and markers, historic homes, forts, and approaches, including Thayer’s Approach. The historic tunnel was vital to the Union and, in turn, the nation as a whole; however, many are unaware of its existence.
Want to see this historic tunnel for yourself? Thayer’s Approach is located at tour stop #6 at the Vicksburg National Military Park. For more information, click here.

Memory game for kids - Frozen - online and free
Play Memory game :
Memory game Frozen
A great memory game for children and especially for girls with all your favorite characters from the Frozen such as Elsa, Anna, Olaf a friendly snowman, Kristoff, Sven the reindeer and Kristoff's loyal friend, Hans the prince of the Southern Isles (a prince charming who is not really charming!) A free and online game, so come and play!
This cartoon, produced by Disney Studios, tells the story of two sisters, Anna and Elsa. Elsa, the eldest, also called Frozen, is the princess of the kingdom of Arendelle, heiress to the throne, she have supernatural powers but she does'nt control them and she's isolated for fear of hurting his sister.

How to play Online Memory games ?
In these online games, the cards are laid in rows on the board. You have to find all the pairs by turning cards 2 by 2.
These memory games are single player mode, so, as there is only one player, the objective of the game is to find all the pairs with the fewest strokes and as quickly as possible.
A stopwatch will show you how much time you have spent to find all the pairs and also the game will show you the number of strokes you have needed.
If you wish, you can change the number of cards on the board, and so the level of difficulty of the game, thanks to the buttons located below the game.
When you turn over 2 cards, there are 2 possibilities:
- If the two cards match, it's a pair! The pair automatically disappears from the board and you can then turn over 2 new cards.
- Otherwise, if the cards don't match, they are automatically turned face down and you can then turn over 2 new cards.
You can replay the same game as many times as you want! Indeed, every time a new game starts,
a random selection of the cards ensures that you will have a different game, so you can replay endlessly!
Free Memory games on Memozor :
All the memory games are Free. They are Compatible with all devices: Desktop, Laptop, Tablets and Smartphones, and they are also Compatible with all Browsers (Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox...).

Orange City and Deltona, FL
Bruxism affects between 10 and 15 percent of the American population. It can destroy your teeth. And, many people engage in the behavior without even realizing it.
Also known as teeth clenching and grinding, bruxism can destroy your teeth. If you are grinding your teeth, then your Orange City family dentist Terry Soule, DDS, can protect your mouth from potentially catastrophic damage by providing a custom-made mouth guard.
Know the dangers of bruxism
Bruxism exerts extreme amounts of additional force on your teeth—as much as 600 pounds per square inch, which certainly is not healthy for your teeth. Our teeth are designed to handle quite a bit of force, but not that much.
The American Sleep Association estimates that up to 10 percent of all adults and 15 percent of children in the United States may suffer from some form of bruxism. That adds up to more than 30 million people. Moreover, consider that as many as 10 percent of people with severe, untreated bruxism actually grind down all their teeth to nubs—requiring full-mouth reconstruction. That adds up to about 3 million individuals who have their mouths devastated by this behavior.
Despite the seriousness of bruxism, many patients who engage in the habit do so unconsciously, while they sleep. The most common causes of bruxism are anxiety and stress, but the habit also can manifest due to a misaligned bite. The cause of each case of bruxism may vary, but the most important factor is to get treatment to prevent damage being done to your teeth.
Treating bruxism in Orange City
Dr. Terry Soule can relieve bruxism and protect your mouth from catastrophic damage by prescribing a customized, high-quality mouth guard. This guard may look like the mouthpieces and night guards you can buy in stores. However, Terry Soule, DDS, makes all his mouth guards from the finest materials available. They are durable, effective and made to fit as securely and comfortably as possible—your mouth guard will be made by using impressions of your mouth. While mouth guards do not stop the teeth clenching and grinding behavior, it will protect your teeth from sustaining any additional damage.
How to tell if you have bruxism
The only way to know for sure if you have bruxism is to receive a consultation with Dr. Soule. However, keep an eye out for some of these common symptoms related to bruxism.
Symptoms of bruxism include:
- Unexplained jaw soreness
- Pain in the mouth that appears to migrate to different locations with no apparent rhyme or reason
- Uneven tooth wear
- Dental restorations that are beginning to crack and fail
- Enhanced sensitivity in teeth or tooth pain
- Tongue indentations
Your partner also may have noticed that you clench and grind your teeth while you sleep, as it typically emits a noticeable sound. If this is happening to you or you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, schedule a consultation with Terry Soule, DDS, today by calling (386) 775-1552.
Terry Soule, DDS, provides comprehensive oral health care services to patients in the areas of DeBary, Deltona, and Orange City.

Overture, "Oberon" . .....von Weber
Carl Maria von Weber was born December i8, 1786, at Eutin; died June 5, 1826, at London.
The autograph score bears the following inscription in German: "Finished April 9, 1826, in the morning at quarter to twelve and with it the whole opera Oberon. Soli Deo Gloria!!! C. M. V. Weber."
This overture was written at a time when the composer said of himself, "The end of all is fast approaching." It is cast in the sonata form, from material drawn from the opera. The horn solo in the Introduction--D major--Adagio sostenuto --44 time--represents Oberon's magic horn. The main movement--A llegro con fuoco, 44 time--has for its first subject material taken from a quartet, "Over the Dark Blue Waters." The second subject--A major--quotes from Huon's aria, and themes from the aria "Ocean! Thou Mighty Monster!" are also drawn upon.
Concerto for Pianoforte., A minor, Op. 16. ?. . . . . Grieg Allegro moderato ; Adagio ; Allegro moderato
Edvard Hagerup Grieg was born June 15, 1843, at Bergen, Norway; died September 4, 1907, at Bergen.
This concerto displays the adaptability of the sonata form as such, and its content makes us willing captives to the charm of the Northern musical idioms. It was first performed at Copenhagen in 1869, and has remained a prime favorite with pianists and the public ever since. The three movements display much variety and reveal themes of great originality and charm. The limitations of space forbid any formal analysis of the work, but it may be stated that it is so clear in outline that it is easy to follow intelligently, providing one is willing to listen with a free imagination, and give free reign to fantasy.
Symphony, E minor, No. 5, Op. 64 .. . . Tschaikowsky
Andante-Allegro con anima : Andante cantabile ; Valse ; Finale
Peter Iljitsch Tschaikowsky was born May 7, 1840, at Wotkinsk; died November 6, 1893, at Petrograd.
Preliminary to our interpretation of the symphony the following historical facts must be stated: The date frequently given (1886-7) is incorrect according to Tschaikowsky's letters, for in one to his brother, Modeste (May 15, 1888), he writes: "I am hoping to collect the materials for a symphony." On June 10, 1888 he says in a letter to Frau von Mech: "Have I told you that I intend to write a symphony The beginning was difficult; now however, inspiration seems to have come. We shall see!" Again he writes (August 26, 1888): "I am so glad that I have finished my symphony (No. 5) that I can forget all physical ailments." This would seem to establish the date of its composition. It now only remains to submit the following brief analysis:
A "motto" theme--E minor--Andante--4-4 time--is the foundation of a very intensely dramatic introduction, and its pathetic suggestions underlie the structure of the succeeding movements.
The principal theme of the first movement--E minor--Allegro con anima-6-8 time--is given out by the clarinets and bassoons-
The beautiful contrast afforded by the introduction of the exquisite and compelling second theme, through a superb climax, must be noted-
This theme, first stated by the strings and later clothed in beautiful orchestral dress, is treated with great fulness of detail which, inasmuch, as the first theme is also thoroughly exploited, makes the comparatively short development section thoroughly justified. This because the themes are treated with dramatic intensity, rather than subjected to the extensive treatment held by those who know no guide other than the fixed maxims of the text-books--which always lag behind the great concepts, which are not yet in the books--to be a sine qua non in the symphonic form. Tschaikovsky had a rare sense of formal values, and consequently this departure from the region of Zopf is justified. If in no other way this justification is supported by the surety with which he works up a final climax followed by a rather extensive coda which lapses into the mood of the introductory section.
The second movement--D major--Andante cantabile con alcuna--12-8 time --is introduced by gloomy chords for the strings--like lowering clouds over the landscape through which breaks the sun, in the form of this wondrously beautiful theme for horn. Following this there enters a beautiful theme given out by the oboe, with a triplet figure in the strings. The clarinet now enters with still another theme--F sharp minor--Moderato con anima--4-4 time--which leads into a great climax, in which the "motto" theme is stated, as though Tchaikovsky would say 'Lest we forget." The movement then continues in melodic terms already stated but varied in orchestral color, and, after another statement of the motto," ends in a coda--conditioned by the second theme.
The third movement--A major--Allegro moderato--3-4 time--is a waltz, a form always used by the composer with a full realization of its possibilities of idealization, wherein it differs from most dance-forms. The themes are very simple and are enforced in a manner befitting the form. But the merry-making is not without its ominous suggestions, for again attention is directed to the implication of the motto theme and joy rests on pathos.
In the long introduction of the fourth movement--E major, Andante maes-. toso--4-4 time--we are again brought face to face with the "motto," treated with full appreciation of all for which it may stand as Russia comes to herself. The impetuous principal subject of the main movement -E minor, Allegro vivace--2-2 time--is stated by the strings. Soon after the enunciation of the second subject in D major, the "motto" motif asserts itself and becomes a conditioning factor in the succeeding developments. Nearing the conclusion this portentous theme appears again--E major, moderato assai e molto maestoso--and dominates the entire structure. Its climacteric statement points to the conviction on the part of the composer that "All's well with the world."

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY--
Miss Beebe's organization is not only of the greatest musical significance, as proved again by yesterday's interpretation of Dubois, Brahms, Mozart and Juon, but also of definite and permanent popularity, witnessed by the size and genuine enthusiasm of the audience.--The New York Evening Mail.
The Society is made up of talented artists, each master of his or her instrument, and they play with wonderful precision in perfect time, and with a wealth of expression, leaving nothing further to be desired. The combination of all the instruments produces the most delightful harmonies, which must be heard to be appreciated. All the instruments were heard in the concluding selection and the effect was grand.--Daily Press.
With practically an unheard of combination of wind and string instruments, this ensemble of nearly a dozen accomplished artists made a tremendous hit, playing as it did compositions little known in a manner that merited every demonstration accorded it.---Herald-Dispatch.
The exquisite flute playing of William Kincaid was one of the delights of the evening. One cannot say too much in appreciation of his art. When he takes his silver wand of an instrument in hand he puts every man and woman within hearing under a magic spell and leads them away into never, never land. A veritable Pied Piper Hamlin is this tall lad with the bashful smile and the liquid music of streams and birds and spring mornings.--Observer.

U.S. HOUSING MARKET RECOVERY BACKTRACKS WITH 23 PERCENT YEAR-OVER-YEAR RISE IN NATIONAL PRICE REDUCTIONS
Trulia.com Reports Increasing Disconnect Between Buyers and Sellers in Minneapolis, Mesa, Phoenix and Baltimore Where Price Reduction Levels Currently Exceed 40 Percent
SAN FRANCISCO, December 15, 2010 – Trulia.com, a top site for homebuyers, sellers and renters, today released its December price reduction report for the U.S. housing market. Nationally, the number of listings with at least one price cut grew by 23 percent from 22 percent in December 2009 to 27 percent in December 2010. Meanwhile, average reductions remained flat at 11 percent in a year-over-year comparison, although they have risen by 10 percent since last month.
Among the 50 largest U.S. cities, 32 experienced price reduction levels at 30 percent or higher this month compared to just 14 in December 2009. Minneapolis continues to have the highest levels at 44 percent. Moreover, Phoenix, Mesa and Baltimore also exceeded 40 percent – marking the first time four cities have reached this benchmark in a single month since Trulia began tracking price reductions in June 2009. Of the cities with the highest rate of price reductions last December, only Jacksonville and Columbus showed some signs of improvement with year-over year decreases by 5 percent and 3 percent respectively.
“The homebuyer tax credit successfully created an impactful short-term demand which temporarily stabilized prices, but stopped short of being a true spark for real estate recovery,” said Pete Flint, co-founder and CEO, Trulia. “As I said in the beginning of the year, job creation will be the strongest indicator that the housing market is turning around. Looking at the latest unemployment rate which rose to 9.8 percent this month, we expect prices will continue to decline between five and seven percent nationally especially in the first of half of 2011.”
Sellers Experiencing Tough Times within West and Southwest Regions
The 10 cities with the highest percentage change in price reductions between December 2009 and December 2010 are all in the western and southwestern states of California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas. At the top of the list, Fresno more than doubled its year-over-year price reductions by 117 percent while Mesa and Phoenix – which have two of the highest price reduction levels this month – increased by 54% and 50% respectively.
U.S. Cities with Highest Percentage Change in Price Reductions (December 2010)
“With 10 months’ worth of inventory on the market, homebuyers seem to feel no urgent reason to buy, despite still-low mortgage rates that are rising fast,” said Tara-Nicholle Nelson, Consumer Educator for Trulia. “On top of this massive supply-demand imbalance, sellers know to expect a drop off in already low buyer activity as the holidays approach. As a result, smart sellers know they need to make bold price cuts to create some urgency and sell homes which, otherwise, are simply not moving. ”

text: My friend’s sweatpants don’t fit her any more and she gave them to me. I’m wearing them now, and I feel pretty spiffy. But my friend is having a hard time of it. It’s like a car going smoothly on a highway and suddenly, with no warning, it goes over a cliff and tumbles towards a canyon floor. In an instant, everything changes. Your world is no longer your world. That’s what’s happened to my friend’s health, and I feel as though I’m on the outside of the car watching her through the window on the ride down. She’s at the stage where people she hasn’t seen in ten years are calling to ask how she is. “No, really, how are you? You can tell me.” And that drives her crazy because she knows their ostentatious concern is phony and they are really thinking, “Thank God it’s not me,” and, “I never liked her anyway.” My friend’s conversations now are all about doctors and blood pressure and pulse rates and cataracts, and not being able to see or to eat seeds. “Careful with those seeds.” Or, “One more seed and you’ll give out.” It’s hard to imagine. She’s in a situation that she can’t get out of. She looks back at the days when she was happy and happy to be happy. But in her day, my friend regularly betrayed her husband. For years she had affairs with other men that she took very seriously, but at the same time also laughed about. She took her betrayal very lightly. But what would those men with whom she was having those serious love affairs – “two heads on the same pillow” was her favorite expression for intimacy – have felt had they known that the very next day she was telling a friend how much she loved her husband and would never leave him? I don’t know how she did it with such cheerfulness, but she did. The other day, sick as she is, she actually laughed when she recalled how she used to tell her husband she was visiting a woman friend when she was really going to a lover. “Poor Miriam, she’d have fainted dead away if she knew she was my beard.” And she laughed and laughed. Maybe my friend feels that the only way you can come at something so dishonest and disloyal is to make light of it. Unfaithfulness must be quite a juggling act.

Melt the butter in the pressure cooker pot over medium-low heat. Add the leeks, celery leaves and 1 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring often, until soft, approximately 8 minutes. If the leeks start to brown during this process, reduce the heat.
Drain the potato pieces and add to the pot along with the simmering chicken broth. Clamp on the cooker's lid, (according to the manufacturer's instructions) and bring to full pressure over high heat.
Once pressure is attained (there will be a loud whistle) back the heat down to medium-low, just maintaining a hissing of steam for 8 minutes.
Kill the heat and release the steam pressure by opening the dump valve or setting the cooker under cold, running water. When the lid can be removed, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender carafe. (If the mixture fills your carafe more than two-thirds full, work in two batches!)
Top the carafe with the main lid but remove the center lid so that air can escape as it heats and expands. Cover the lid tightly with a tea towel and blend on low for 1 minute before slowly increasing the speed to smoothly puree the potatoes. (Although you want to increase the speed slowly, try not to puree the potatoes too long as they could become gummy.)
Transfer the mixture back to the pot and whisk in the cream. Stir in the white pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning (I always need the rest of the salt). Chill thoroughly then serve garnished with a small spoonful of the roe and dill fronds.
Tightly covered, the vichyssoise will keep a week in the refrigerator. The soup can also be frozen in ice-cube trays then kept in freezer bags for up to three months.
Strictly speaking, you don't have to do this in a pressure cooker. You can use a regular pot but it will take quite a bit longer and you should start with about 1/4 cup more broth to make up for evaporation during the process.
This recipe has been updated and may differ from what was originally published or broadcast.

1962 Bentley S2
Year of manufacture1962
Temporary UK Import
See UK Registration/Import Status Guide in catalogue.
Closely related to the Bentley S1, and first cousin to the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, the S2 differed aesthetically in its grille design, bonnet profile, and wheel covers. Under the bonnet, the S2 sported the all-new aluminum 6.2-litre, overhead valve, V-8 engine capable of producing roughly 200 hp – a 30% increase over the S1 six-cylinder engine – while achieving reduced fuel consumption. Coupled with power-assisted steering, upgraded brakes, and the Hydra-Matic four-speed, automatic transmission, the newly configured S2 was sportier, faster, and considerably more comfortable to drive than its forerunners. Between 1959 and 1962, a total of 2,308 examples of the Bentley S2 were built, with just 93 carrying two-door coupe coachwork by H.J. Mulliner.
This 1962 Bentley S2 Continental, chassis BC87CZ, bears the H.J. Mulliner & Co. Ltd. plate, denoting body no. 6497. A late-production C-series example, this right-hand-drive Bentley is one of the last of the production run. It was delivered new to H. Watson Hall of England, in February 1962, and registered with the license plate “C86BC.” While much of its early provenance is undocumented, it is believed to have been acquired by P & A Wood, Rolls-Royce and Bentley official heritage dealers in England. By 1986, the S2 was in the care of noted collector James K. Dobbs III of Memphis, Tennessee, who bought it for his 40th birthday and toured the UK before importing the Bentley into the US. In 1991, it was in the possession of Morris Gardner of Allison Park, Pennsylvania, who also owned a Flying Spur and two coupes simultaneously, all bodied by the prestigious H.J. Mulliner coachworks. Gardner later sold this Bentley to notable collector and vintage racer Herb Wetanson of Connecticut.
Purchased by the consignor in 2019, the S2 joined his extensive collection of European sports and collector cars. Today the Continental is beautifully presented throughout, sporting a refined livery of dark blue paint with fine red pinstriping down its flanks and over the rear wheel arches. The interior carries beautifully patinated original blue leather upholstery and complementary carpeting, highlighting the superb wood dashboard. Stately in every aspect, the S2 features air-conditioning, power brakes and windows, and assisted steering. In current ownership the Continental has received rebuild of its braking and power steering systems, as well as new tires.
Not only is this Bentley a prime example of the esteemed S2 Continental, it is also accompanied by copies of build sheets, registration records, and invoices. Built to last, dressed to please, and engineered to delight, this S2 Continental is the perfect companion for the scrupulous Bentley enthusiast.

GARDAI are expected to seek a court order in the coming weeks to allow them retain more than €1m which was located in a field in County Limerick at the weekend.
The cash, which was in a variety of denominations was seized during a major garda operation at a property near Castleconnell on Saturday afternoon.
Gardai suspect two men who were arrested during the operation were in the process of digging up the money which, according to sources, was buried around six feet underground.
In addition to the cash found in the ground, a significant amount of cash was also discovered in a container, which is located on the lands at Portcrusha near Castleconnell.
Some of the money was recovered from a tumble-dryer as it was being dried out by the suspects.
Because of the size of the haul, it took investigating gardai more than two days to sort and count the cash, which totals around €1.25m.
Two men who were arrested and questioned about the cash were released without charge.
Both were arrested on Saturday afternoon under the provisions of the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010.
They were later questioned at Henry Street garda station under drug trafficking legislation.
One of the men - a 43-year-old from the Castleconnell area was released late on Sunday night while the second man was released earlier this evening.
The 53-year-old, who is from the Ballynanty area of Limerick city is known to gardai and has a number of previous convictions including one for drug dealing more than a decade ago.
He has connections to a drugs gang, which is based on the northside of the city.
A mechanical digger was also found during Saturday’s search operation, which was led by members of the divisional drugs unit assisted by gardai from the crime offices at Henry Street, Roxboro Road and Mayorstone Park garda stations.
The search was the culmination of a major garda operation, targeting the activities of organised criminals in the city, which has been ongoing since July.
Gardai are forensically examining the cash in an effort to establish where it came from and they are likely to seek a formal court order which would allow them to keep the money for up to three months.
The head of the Limerick garda division, Chief Superintendent David Sheahan, says while investigations into the discovery of the cash are ongoing, the search operation was a success.
“It was an excellent outcome to a difficult and complex investigation,” he said.
