Keith Olbermann is pissed at the Phillies over Wheels and Sarge move

► Crystal structure of the yeast Atg17-Atg31-Atg29 autophagy initiation complex ► Atg17 is crescent shaped and functions as a dimer of two crescents ► C-terminal EAT domain of Atg1 binds and tethers highly curved vesicles ► Atg1 EAT domain binds Atg17 via Atg13, leading to a model for the PAS
Macroautophagy is a bulk clearance mechanism in which the double-membraned phagophore grows and engulfs cytosolic material. In yeast, the phagophore nucleates from a cluster of 20–30 nm diameter Atg9-containing vesicles located at a multiprotein assembly known as the preautophagosomal structure (PAS). The crystal structure of a 2:2:2 complex of the earliest acting PAS proteins, Atg17, Atg29, and Atg31, was solved at 3.05 Å resolution. Atg17 is crescent shaped with a 10 nm radius of curvature. Dimerization of the Atg17-Atg31-Atg29 complex is critical for both PAS formation and autophagy, and each dimer contains two separate and complete crescents. Upon induction of autophagy, Atg17-Atg31-Atg29 assembles with Atg1 and Atg13, which in turn initiates the formation of the phagophore. The C-terminal EAT domain of Atg1 was shown to sense membrane curvature, dimerize, and tether lipid vesicles. These data suggest a structural mechanism for the organization of Atg9 vesicles into the early phagophore.

French Buddhist Community Plums the Depths of Social Networking for Mindfulness Seekers
by Shubha Bala, associate producer
A year after Thich Nhat Hanh's Plum Village started its social media plan, the French Buddhist community reflects on what they have accomplished and what are their next steps. I found it particularly interesting that, using Facebook and Twitter, an entirely new demographic has become exposed to the practice of mindfulness:
"The online audience for the Thich Nhat Hanh branded accounts grew in ways that were unexpected, and it grew fast. The initial demographics represented groups not typical of those who came to retreats. Many more young people and also a more equal balance of male and female followers."
Appropriately, we discovered this article through Thich Nhat Hanh's Twitter feed.
In the photo above, Sister Chan Khong is trained on writing a blog at Plum Village in France. (photo: Geoff Livingston)

Do banks actually help you?

#1Posted 25 February 2013 - 09:26 PM
We are looking at topping up our mortgage to consolidate a personal loan and if the bank will allow it, to get solar panels put on to save us some money. We have been struggling a bit financially, have been late with a couple of mortgage repayments (a few days), have had to redraw some repayments and have just been playing catchup with everything generally. In a week we stand to be saving approx. $400 per month as our mortgage comes out of fixed terms, and if we get to consolidate our personal loan that's over another $400 we will save. Our plan is, with the $800 monthly saving, plus having minimal electricity bills with the solar panels, we will be able to catch up very quickly on all of our expenses, set a proper budget and then use the extra money to smash our mortgage. Basically once we're caught up with everything, the savings will be placed into our mortgage. I'm worried once the bank looks into our circumstances - sees our transactions etc. they will refuse our application. I guess what I'm asking is will the bank look at our transactions and say no on the spot, or will they take the whole situation into account and realise we will be better off, and therefore in a better place to make our regular repayments (which incidently because of the lower interest rate once it comes off fixed will be less than what the min repayment amount is now). Thanks :-) #2Posted 25 February 2013 - 09:33 PM
Do you have much equity in your house? If so, you might be better off applying for a line of credit account. Interest is slightly higher than the variable rate - but it gives you more freedom.
#3Posted 25 February 2013 - 09:38 PM
If you have had late payments in the last 3 months you may find their software will say no on the spot. We were always told you need to show perfect payment history for 3 months as that is normally as far back as the computer looks.
We have a lady at work and they missed only 1 payment and were told they need to wait 6 months with prefect payments before the bank will look at consolidating their car loan into their homeloan even though like you they will be saving $400 a month. You can go in and just have a general chat with the loans person, they will tell you what you need to do to be approved - they won't need to look into your account or anything - just go with what you have said here and they can give you the general idea of how your bank works. #4Posted 25 February 2013 - 09:38 PM
How long have you had your mortgage and will a fee apply if you exit? Banks want your business and if you can legitimately threaten to take yours somewhere else they may be more flexible.
#5Posted 25 February 2013 - 09:54 PM
We have only recently refinanced (as in end of last year).
In order to get to that point, we had to, as mentioned above. Have at least 3 months of no late payments on our credit cards/loans etc. It was hard to do, we were the same. If we could refinance we'd be so much better off and it would be so much easier to pay the bills. But they had to see no late things. So yeah. We were just super lean for three months and got there in the end. #6Posted 25 February 2013 - 09:55 PM
Thanks for your replies.
PatG - I don't to change banks if I can help it. I guess it's an option though if they don't approve us.... Shelby - I just checked our transactions, and according to the loan statement it was paid, but we were overdrawn in our account. It happened maybe twice? Definitely within the last 3 months though . Zombiemum - I'm not really interested in a line of credit TBH. I don't know - maybe we're better off waiting for a few months - at least we'll have the $400 we'll be saving on the lower interest rate to put to good use in the meantime.... I would love the opportunity to get some financial freedom though! 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Journalists die at high rates while
covering protests in the Arab world and elsewhere. Photographers and
freelancers appear vulnerable. Pakistan is again the deadliest nation. A CPJ special report
Journalists die at high rates while
covering protests in the Arab world and elsewhere. Photographers and
freelancers appear vulnerable. Pakistan is again the deadliest nation. A CPJ special report
New York, November 29, 2011--When delegates from more than 100 countries and international aid organizations meet in Bonn on December 5 at an international conference on Afghanistan's future, they must alter their tactics and aim more to support the professionalization and safety training of the country's emerging press corps, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Tuesday. Though Afghan media outlets have expanded rapidly in the post-Taliban-rule era, journalists need to be better trained and must know how to survive the threats and dangers that are part of their daily lives in order to ensure that the country's fragile democracy has robust media.
New York, September 22, 2011--Farhad Taqaddosi, a cameraman for Iran's Press TV, died in a Kabul hospital on Tuesday of injuries he sustained in the Taliban's September 13 attack on prominent international buildings in Kabul, the station reported.
Khpalwak, 25, died in violence between insurgents and security forces when gunmen and suicide bombers targeted the governor's office and police headquarters in Tarin Kot, capital of Uruzgan province in central Afghanistan.
Ahmad Omaid Khpalwak covered violent news. His last two stories for Pajhwok Afghan News, before he died on July 28 in a major attack in Tarin Kot, capital of Uruzgan province, were about an attack on police checkpoints in which both Taliban and police were killed, and an interview with a would-be suicide bomber. Few of his 24 years of life saw any kind of peace in Afghanistan.
Stéphane Taponier and Hervé Ghesquière, the two France 3 journalists held captive by the Taliban for 547 days, had a big surprise when they entered the France Télévisions building Thursday afternoon, a few hours after landing at the military base of Villacoublay, close to Paris, where they were welcomed by President Nicolas Sarkozy.
New York, June 29, 2011--Eighteen months after their abduction in Afghanistan, the Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the release of France 3 television crew members Hervé Ghesquière, Stéphane Taponier, and Reza Din.
New York, June 7, 2011--The Committee to Protect journalists is disturbed by the June 1 declaration by Afghanistan's Ulema Shurab, or the Council of Religious Scholars, criticizing two media outlets, Hasht-e-Subh Daily newspaper and Tolo Television, for what it reportedly called "immorality" and "animosity against Islam," according to Afghan media owners. The council is a powerful force in Afghan politics and meets frequently with President Hamid Karzai to advise him on religious and cultural affairs.

Just purchased these sheets on Black Friday sale. Received them within 3 business days. Washed them first and they came out looking great. There is a slight pattern (we purchased the white) but it is very subtle and can only be seen from close up. The sheets are a good quality and have a nice, soft feel. the price we got on Overstock beat any retailer around us here in MN.
I must admit, for the price I wasn't sure what to expect so I was quite pleasantly surprised when these arrived . They are beautiful and soft and everything one would expect to pay twice as much for. I immediately went back online and ordered another set !
I think that the product page was very clear that these are not all cotton sheets. That being said, I was skeptical of poly blend sheets. I love the feel of a nice thick weave cotton, but most of the reviews for these were excellent. I am so glad I tried them out. They don't feel like 100% cotton, but they feel better in my opinion. The poly keeps them wrinkle free (awesome!) and it also keeps my sheets nice and cool. Also, my sheets have that freshly washed "crispness" all the time, not just the first night or two after I wash the sheets. These sheets are comfortable, easy to care for, and look great. What more can I ask for?
Had purchased some other sheets at a special price from another site, and they were crap. These were exactly as advertised. Cool to sleep on, great quality. Will but more.
Beautiful blue color--easy care - look great after laundered
These are pretty and the weave is clearly a high count but I have complaints. They got pilly after one wash. They were stiff and smelled strongly of chemicals when they arrived also. I purchased the deep wine color and it's lovely, but I wouldn't purchase another set or recommend to anyone. Overall, disappointed.
These sheets feel like sheets that we have experienced using when traveling and spending nights in very luxurious hotels. They are so soft and really contribute to very comfortable, restful night's sleep.
Very durable. Stitching is great, and after a few washes they get softer and softer. Comes w/ 4 pillowcases, the sets of pillowcases are different in size so it makes it nice if you have a bigger pillow and then medium pillow on your bed. Love, my sheets and its hard to get up out of bed, I look forward to slipping into luxury after a long day.
Very very soft. I will buy again in another color.
Unfortunately, the design and color of these sheets were incredible but I'm not a fan of cotton blend bedding. If these were only 100% cotton I would have kept them. I sent them back and ordered something else. Too bad.

Nick...once again great post, great information.
Avoid graphical links at all costs, if you must use them put text alternatives at the bottom of each page.
ssih: Done right I think you'll be alright. They might mean that some people turn off images while they surf...so you could be limiting aspects of your navigation for some users. That's just a thought. argument for right sided navigation
What about the fact that the majority of people are right-handed. They may find it easier to navigate with a right-side navbar and read pure content on the left. It's much better for me and makes sense.

Toyota Teen Driving
closeWe believe driver education shouldn't stop once teens pass their driving test. That's why Toyota has partnered with Discovery Education to create Toyota Teen Driver, an interactive website aimed at providing resources on safe driving for parents, educators, schools, and teens. For instance, teens can take the online challenge "Heads Up!" to get a virtual experience of the dangers of distracted driving. Players earn a chance to win a $5,000 scholarship prize from Toyota. In 2012 we had ten winners from eight states, including Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
Teachers are invited to participate in our "Educators' Challenge" to develop a project-based lesson plan about safe driving. Those who create the best programs, like 2012 first place winner Erin Hattabaugh of Cleveland, Tennessee, and second place winner Carrie Shampoe of Clymer, New York, earn additional driver safety education programs for their communities. Other resources on the Toyota Teen Driver site include conversation starters, driving activities, and a guide to help parents coach their teen drivers and set good driving examples.

Apple iPod nano (4GB) user reviews
User reviews5
Shaznay_121 7 October 2008
Good: Size, styling and sound
Bad: Headphones, a little tinny sometimes
Comment: I am very pleased with the nano, it looks great, easy to use. Love the black look and clear colourful screen. I had to get decent headphones though as the white standard ones just didn't cut the mustard.
It does get "un-new" very quickly if you don't treat it with loving care though.
Lawrence Wright 26 December 2006
Good: None
Bad: Everything
Comment: Awful. After 1-year warranty expired everything broke down!!!
Not recommended at all :-(
Genki Yo 6 September 2006
Good: Looks and feels good
Bad: Poor battery life
Comment: The nano is a good MP3 player, but I think a rating of 8.3 is too high. I'm disappointed with the poor battery life, as it does not last very long - I need to frequently recharge the battery! Also, 4GB isn't that great.
The Nano is very slim and sexy though, and very light - plus the ability to display pictures is a bonus. I would still (probably) recommend this to buy, but only if you are a iTunes user/fan really.
Sammie L 20 July 2006
Good: Its easy-to-use system, the overall appearence and the slim design.
Bad: How long the battery lasts, the nano getting scratched easily if not in a case & white ipods
Comment: Overall the iPod nano is a cute, sexy music player! It's small and easy to use and would suit a wide range of people. From people who like music on the move, to teenagers wanting the latest gadget! If you've got the money, buy one!
ss ss 1 April 2006
Good: Small compact body, gorgeous packaging
Bad: None
Comment: Best mp3 ever created
i am truly speechless
a must have

Volume+ Gives A Boost To Your Galaxy Nexus And More 34 0 Tweet 27 7 by Anthony Paul on January 19, 2012 10:21 pm 4 Jump To: Feel like the volume levels are a tad low on your Galaxy Nexus? The developer of Volume+ has got your covered, with v220.127.116.11 beta now available for download. The updated version seeks to cure the low volume on the Nexus with Ice Cream Sandwich but the developer said it should also work for those on Gingerbread and Honeycomb. Some of the changes, aside from ICS compatibility are the much higher volume levels, which now goes up to +20. EQ values have also been completely changed and the band frequencies are also visible. The good thing about this tweak is that it works on the volume across different sources such as speaker volume, headset volume, and even Bluetooth and in-call volumes. You can customize the volume level for each one of them. So if you want louder music but regular phone call volumes, that can be set within the tweak. Like this post?

Homemade Baby Food – Make it Safely
By Dr. Michelle Annette Smith, Senior Policy Analyst, Office of Food Safety, Produce Safety Staff, FDA
Many parents are discovering that homemade baby foods can be a nutritious and often more economical alternative to baby foods available in stores. To ensure that the food is safe for your growing infant, follow these simple steps for selecting, preparing, and storing food.
Selecting Ingredients
Always begin with good quality ingredients. It's best to use fresh food whenever possible, but you can also use frozen or canned foods. If you're using processed fruits and vegetables, try to find products without added sugar, especially canned fruit packed in syrup.
Never feed these products to your baby or use them in homemade baby food:
- Dairy products made from raw, unpasteurized milk (may contain bacteria that can cause serious illnesses)
- Honey (puts your baby at high risk for botulism, a very dangerous illness)
- Home-canned food (may contain harmful bacteria if it was canned improperly)
- Outdated canned food
- Food from dented, rusted, bulging, or leaking cans or jars
- Food from cans or jars without labels
Preparing Baby Food
Because infants are at a higher risk of getting a foodborne illness than older children or healthy adults, it's particularly important to follow these guidelines carefully:
- Wash your hands and any equipment used to prepare the food.
- Use separate cutting boards for meat, poultry and fish and for non-meat foods to avoid cross-contamination.
- Wash fresh fruits and vegetables thoroughly under clean, running water. Even if you plan to peel a fruit or vegetable, such as cantaloupe or squash, be sure to wash it first.
- Store raw meats, poultry, fish, and dairy products in the coldest part of the refrigerator immediately after purchase.
- Cook meat, poultry, and fish thoroughly to kill any bacteria that might be present. Be sure to use a meat thermometer and cook all meats to an internal temperature of at least 160 ºF, fish to at least 145 ºF, and all white meat poultry to an internal temperature of at least 165 ºF. Check the Minimum Cooking Temperatures chart to be sure.
Storing and Reheating Baby Food
First and foremost: always throw away any uneaten leftover food in the baby's dish!
Other ways to keep your baby's food safe:
- Never allow cooked food to stand at room temperature for more than 2 hours (or more than one hour when the temperature is above 90 degrees)
- Do not store prepared baby food in the refrigerator for more than 24 hours for meat, poultry, fish, and eggs or more than 48 hours for fruits and vegetables.
- Thoroughly reheat refrigerated or frozen food to an internal temperature of 165 ºF.
- Never defrost baby foods by leaving them at room temperature or in standing water.
To freeze prepared baby food safely, put it into labeled and dated containers. You may freeze it for up to one month.
For more information, check these resources:
- Baby Food and Infant Formula (FoodSafety.gov)
Get the basics on baby food safety. - Home-Prepared Baby Food (USDA)
This booklet provides excellent tips on preparing all sorts of baby foods.
Making baby food for yourself is the best way to get healthy food without chemicals or gen manipulated incredients.
I really enjoyed making baby food for my children. Thank you for suggesting that we avoid sugar in baby foods. Unfortunately, many pre-packaged baby foods contain shocking amounts of sugar. Whether we make or buy, it's important to know what goes into what we are feeding our families.

Frozen Produce vs. Fresh Produce
Shopping for fresh produce can be enjoyable because it touches on so many of our senses. Seeing, touching and smelling fresh fruits and vegetables is more satisfying than grabbing a frozen bag of like products from the freezer case. However, there are times when buying frozen fruits and vegetables will not only cost you less, but provide more nutrients than fresh produce.According to USDA Research Plant Physiologist Gene Lester, PhD, "Commercially sold fresh vegetables are generally picked while they are still ripening so that they are able to withstand the rigors of handling, transportation, storage and the retail display case. Whereas frozen vegetables are picked at the height of ripeness, which provides for the highest nutrient density, then immediately frozen which slows/ stops the loss of vital nutrients." produce.
A good rule of thumb is to purchase out-of-season produce from the freezer aisle and stock up on the fresh produce that is in-season to eat immediately or to freeze for the coming months.
Careful Selection of Frozen Produce Improves Quality
Frozen produce can quickly defrost when being delivered and stocked in the grocery stores. As soon as frozen produce begins to thaw out it can begin to lose nutrients and compromise the taste. You also risk getting freezer burn when you refreeze it once you get home.According to ConAgra spokesperson Phil Lempert, when selecting frozen produce, "If you feel or hear ice crystals, it probably means the contents inside were thawed and refrozen. Avoid them and reach way in the back of the freezer to get a package that is solid as ice."
With this in mind, it is also a good idea to shop the frozen foods aisle last and to avoid waiting too long to place the items into your home freezer.
Finding Frozen Food Coupons
The frozen food companies are in constant competition and they know that one way to get noticed by shoppers is to offer coupons or special sales on select products. This is also a common way to market new products.You can find frozen food coupons using the same resources that you use for other food products including checking your Sunday newspaper. Also, many of the boxed frozen food products will have coupons on the inside of the packaging.
Looking for online frozen food coupons? Coupons.com, RedPlum and SmartSource are three popular resources for free printable online coupons.
You can also sign up at the company websites that manufacturer your favorite frozen foods. There are literally thousands of frozen food companies, but doing a quick search on Google for your favorites will help you locate the websites that you want. Many times the companies will send out coupons in their newsletters.
Facebook is also a good place to get coupons and other promotional information including contests. The best way to find food companies on Facebook is to find the main website for the company, then click on the Facebook link from there. You can also check the list of Facebook coupons to see if your favorite frozen foods are listed.
Stock Up on Frozen Food Sales
Shoppers can expect to find some of the best deals on frozen foods during the month of March because it is "Frozen Food Month" and grocery stores really drop the prices. This is also the time when companies coming out with new packaging will drop the prices on the same products that are in the old packaging.Check Prices
There are some frozen products that can save you up to 30 and 40 percent when compared to non-frozen products, but some of the products are for convenience only and will really run up your food bill. Checking the prices and avoiding certain frozen foods will help you stretch your food budget.
- Fish
You can save as much as 40 percent by buying seafood in the freezer aisle. Most "fresh" seafood sold at grocery store seafood counters has been frozen and defrosted. The longer the defrosted fish sits on display, the less fresh it becomes. Seafood sold in the freezer aisle maintains its freshness until you defrost it.
- Turkeys, Cornish Hens, Chicken
The prices on frozen turkeys, Cornish hens, and other poultry products are usually priced less per pound than what you will find in the non-frozen meat departments. By planning your meals ahead of time you can save a decent amount off your food bill when you buy some of the frozen poultry and defrost it yourself.
The exception to this would be the manager's specials on poultry that is close to expiring.
- Juice
Frozen concentrated juice costs considerably less than non-frozen "made from concentrate" juice. As Phil Lempert points out, why pay for water? It is also handy to have around for other recipes like this incredible Orange Roast Pork recipe.
- Biscuits, Pancakes and Waffles
Frozen pancakes, waffles and biscuits are much more costly than the cost of making then yourself. Unless you are really short on time you can save money by making a batch and freezing them yourself. You can then pull from them the same way you would if you bought the frozen products. However, if you have a great coupon for the frozen items, compare prices and you might luck out and get convenience and save a bit by.
Tip: When freezing homemade biscuits, pancakes and waffles place them on a cookie sheet and freeze them flat before you bag them. This keeps them from sticking together.
- Pizza
Do you order a lot pizza delivery? If so, then we will assume you are into convenience when it comes to pizza. Frozen pizzas are equally convenient and having some on hand will save you money.
Don't be afraid to get the super cheap ones either. You can always add more of the ingredients that you want to it. For example, you can often find Tony's Pizza coupons for two pizzas for $5 which is pretty cheap, even if you just want it for a quick snack.
- Frozen Vegetables With Sauces
Tempted to buy the frozen broccoli smothered in cheese sauce? The mixed vegetables in Alfredo sauce? The prices are high for what you get. You will save money if you buy just the vegetables and make your own sauce. Plus, if you buy the larger family size packages of frozen vegetables you can use them for more than just one meal.
- Frozen Meals for Diversity
There are times when we want to eat food that we don't really know how to make ourselves. For example, if you can't cook Chinese food, but you enjoy eating it sometimes, then buying the frozen Chinese meals that are available would be worth it. It may cost you more than what you really like to pay, but it is still a lot less expensive than going out to a restaurant or buying ingredients that you rarely use just for one recipe.
How to Save on Ice Cream
Unless you are completely hooked on a specific kind of ice cream, always shop for ice cream that is on sale. Buying the larger family-size containers of ice cream is usually the least expensive way to go and you can always add different fixings to it to enhance the flavor.
Avoid letting ice cream defrost before you get it home and back in the freezer. Also, once the lid is removed, placing a sheet of plastic wrap over the top and pressing it into the ice cream before you put the lid back on help to retain the flavor and to avoid ice crystals.
Tip: For inexpensive ice cream toppings, stock up on candy bars when you find them on sale. Chopping up a Payday that you bought on sale for four for a dollar is going to cost a lot less than a jar of expensive ice cream topping.

ø Ignore hafrogmanOOC: Could we get a little more description of the cell and door? I had assumed it was more of a thick wood with a tiny view port kind of affair. But if the guard can see us from there, is it more of a iron bar sort of affair? PbP Signature: http://www.enworld.org/forum/5934473-post84.html

OOC: Iron bars, correct. The map shows the bars with a dashed line. (Is it too small? Let me know). Sorry if anything I wrote (or didn't) created a misleading impression. But yeah, you guys are kind of sitting ducks at the moment.

ø Ignore Fangor the FierceAt the outburst, Jaylen can only snicker. It would seem that vengeance was soon to be an option, as the guard takes notice quickly. With the others in the way, he can't react in time enough to make any use of himself. Instead, he goads the guard.
"Busted heads? Sure, but it won't be ours. You heard him. He said he wanted OUT!"

"Surely you, being one of the infamous Branderscar prison guards, are not scared of a mere six unarmed and unarmored prisoners?" He looks to both Anitol and Osrin as his hand passes each prisoner. "Or is Branderscar in the habit of hiring cowards?" Ethan looks to Valeria as the next words leave his mouth. "This place does have it's charms after all. So I could see how a coward such as yourself would be attracted to it. You like to beat on the prisoners as their chained to whatever device you decide but when it's somewhat of a fair fight..." He laughs as he looks the guard in the eye. "Well then you run like a scared little boy to his wet nurse."

The guard sneers at Ethan, though it is clear there is a real fear behind the mask of bravado. (These are some of the worst criminals in the land, after all...)
The guard stays put, approaching no closer to the cell bars, but watching warily. He shouts at the top of his lungs, "Rafferty! Prisoners loose! Sound the alarm!"

ø Ignore Fangor the FierceJaylens wrists burn, as he hears the jeering. When Valeria begins her casting, he readies his own magic to protect him as well. He places the amulet around his neck, preparing to fight.
Wednesday, 13th June, 2012, 03:41 PM #89
Ethan waits to see if Valeria's spell will have any effect on the but before she releases he power. "How about this. If you call off the alarm and assist us in our...endeavors here in Branderscar I'll ensure your safety and even a spot of gold. However if you choose to go against us, it'll be you the ferryman takes."

After a record breaking run E. Nesbit's classic THE RAILWAY CHILDREN triumphantly steams back into the 'Welcome to Yorkshire' theatre at London Waterloo for a second time. London's breathtaking theatrical event is once again staged at the former Eurostar Terminal where a 1,000 seat venue has been built around the railway tracks with audience seated either side. The Railway Children adapted by Mike Kenny and directed by Damian Cruden has arrived, bringing with it all the power of hope, the romance of steam trains, and the magic of theatrical invention. Featuring Stirling Single, a gorgeous 66-tonne steam locomotive and the Old Gentlemans's Saloon (from the original Railway Children film) join Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis as they tell their story of joy, sadness, laughter and love.
This spectacular adaptation of Nesbit's classic steams into London's Waterloo Theatre from York Theatre Royal where it was originally produced at the National Railway Museum.
