If you are planning on using affiliate marketing and are wondering if it really works then the answer is, yes it does work. However, it takes time and effort to set up. But the obvious question is "Why" should you use affiliate marketing?

Are you planning to travel to Brazil for the Olympics? It would be great if you have someone to guide you throughout- isn't it? That's why we are here to offer you a checklist so that you are fully prepared for the tour.
First of all, be ready with the important documents such as passport and visa. Check whether your passport is valid and make sure that you have a visa. Unless you are not prepared with these things, you are not authorized for Brazil Olympics Travel.
The next thing upon which you must draw your attention is the safety measures. Are you aware of the Zika virus? Have you taken the necessary precautions for it? If not, then go for it as soon as possible! Also, insure your tour with the help of a travel insurance company.
Now let us come to the parts which are absolute necessities, no matter where you travel. And these include booking the hotel and transport and carrying some extra money. It is advisable that you book your accommodation and cab before your travel so that you do not face any problems after reaching the place.
Since the main purpose of your visit is the Olympic Games, it is very important to make arrangements for travelling to and from the Olympic village. The other things to keep in mind are whether you are carrying the medicines that you usually take and are equipped with the electronic gadgets that you may require in the course of the tour.
The written documents related to any food allergies that you may be having and the list of emergency contacts and hotel address must be there along with you.
Now that you have covered the pre-travel to-do list, it is the time to pack your bags and set off!
While packing your bags, please do not forget the following:
- Tickets
- Cash
- Passport (both original and photocopy)
- Brazil Olympics Travel Guide
- The electronics equipment along with the charger
- Other important stuff such as mosquito repellant
- Your medical prescriptions
Another thing which you must look at is the transportation from the airport to the hotels. You must go for a conveyance that would suit your budget and also ensure a comfortable journey at the same time.
You must be well-aware of the present weather conditions at the place, and it would be great if you can learn some words of the commonly spoken languages of the place. Make other relevant preparations and take the necessary precautions.
However, for a safe and smooth tour, the guidance of professionals is necessary. For this, you may refer to https://www.choice.com.au/travel/destinations/brazil/articles/brazil-travel-checklist for more details and tips. They will also help you choose the right transport from traveling from or to the hotel. You can even download the Brazil Olympics Travel Guide from there for a better travel experience.
Wish you a happy journey!

WalMart lobby bill hits Rs 125 cr on India entry, other cases

Global retail giant Wal-Mart -- waiting for years to open its supermarkets in India -- has been lobbying with the US lawmakers since 2008 to facilitate its entry into the highly lucrative Indian market.
As per the lobbying disclosure reports filed by Wal-Mart with the US Senate, the company has spent close to USD 25 million (about Rs 125 crore) since 2008 on its various lobbying activities, including on the issues related to "enhanced market access for investment in India".
In the last quarter ended September 30, 2012 itself, the company spent USD 1.65 million (about Rs 10 crore) on various lobbying issues, which included "discussions related to FDI in India".
During the quarter, Wal-Mart lobbied for its case with the US Senate, the US House of Representatives, the US Trade Representative (USTR) and the US Department of State, as per its latest quarterly disclosure report.
The companies are allowed to lobby for their cases in various departments and agencies in the US, but they are required to file their lobbying disclosure reports every quarter with the US Senate.
So far in 2012, Wal-Mart has spent more than USD three million or about Rs 18 crore on its various lobbying activities, including those related to India.
As per Wal-Mart's lobbying disclosure reports, the company has continuously lobbied for its India entry since 2008, except for a few quarters in 2009.
Indian government recently opened up its multi-brand retail sector for foreign companies after years of political opposition and a Parliament motion against this decision was defeated last week in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
The US-based supermarket chain operator Wal-Mart Stores, which has an annual turnover of USD 444 billion and a world- wide headcount of 2.2 million, has been eyeing for a long time to enter India.

The modern man's grooming guide
Relevant offers
1. Halt the wrinkles and fight off premature ageing with active anti-ageing products. Nivea for Men Revitalising Cream Q10 ($17.95) will strengthen, hydrate and protect the skin from that icky environmental pollution that makes you look old. Use it morning and night; the sooner you start the better.
2. Ever wondered why your skin sometimes looks dull? It's because of dead skin cells hanging out on the surface of your face. Without a bit of a shove off and a heave ho, they'll pile up until you look like old man Withers. Exfoliate once or twice a week to keep the dry flakes at bay.
There are two kinds of exfoliators. The first is what they call mechanical - tiny granules that you physically rub on your skin to slough off the dead bits. The other is chemical and uses mild acids - often fruit-based - to eat away at dead skin cells and help them lift from your face. Whichever you choose is up to you, just pick the right one for your oily, dry, and sensitive or combination skin type. Options are, Natio for Men Purifying Face Scrub (manual), $16.50. Nimue Enzyme based Exfoliator (chemical), $64.
3. If grey hair isn't your thing but you don't want to fork out for the hairdressers, it's easy enough to do it at home with simple grey cover kits. Just for Men Hair Colourant, $15.95, will target only the grey hair by replacing it with subtle tones that match your own natural colour. The best thing is it only takes five minutes - that's the same as making a cuppa!
4. If you use a shaving brush, you might want to check if it's time for a replacement. Bristle brushes are great, but their constant dampness can be a breeding ground for bacteria - especially during the humidity of summer. Shaving with a rotten brush can give you nasty zits, so make sure you swap it out once in a while for a fresh one.
5. Treat yourself to a shaving cream without alcohol in it. Alcohol dries out the skin and can be hell for sensitive types. Read the ingredient list on your product if you're unsure. Lush Prince Shaving Cream, ($14.20) will soften stubborn stubble and calm and soothe the skin while shaving. It's also packed full of natural goodness like orange and tangerine essential oils, light shea and cocoa butter cream.
6. The last sign of a bloke's transition from boy to man is always evident by his choice of smellies. Ditch the cheap aerosol you've been using since fourth form and swap it out for scent-free roll-on deodorant. It'll still do the job, but will allow for your fancy cologne to do the smooth talking. Nivea Pure Invisible ($6.19) has minimal smell and won't leave white marks.
7. With most nail salons now offering men's treatments, there's no excuse to have unruly hands and feet. But if you can't quite stomach being groomed in public, then a home nail grooming kit is a must. Most department stores have a good range.
8. If you haven't already, it's time you built up your scent collection. Having one everyday cologne is fine, but it's nice to mix it up a bit for evenings and special occasions. Unless you want to lose your date, don't go overboard on the spritzing - a dot on your neck and one on your wrist is enough. For day: Clinique Happy ($70) is fresh and crisp with a touch of citrus. For night: Michael Kors for Men ($135) is an elegant woody oriental fragrance with bergamot, cardamom, pipe tobacco and thyme.
9. Wear sunscreen. It's one of the most simple yet vital ways to avoid premature ageing. Natio for Men SPF 30+ Face Moisturiser ($17.50), apply it every day, rain or shine, before you leave the house.
10. They're the windows to the soul, and they also look pretty old pretty quick if you don't look after them. I don't care how tough you are, that delicate skin around the eyes needs extra special care, and The Body Shop for Men Maca Root Eye Serum ($30.50) is just the stuff to help.

In the tallahasse area, I would take all three supers as long as there are some honey frames on the sides of both deeps.
To play it safe, leave them the partial super.

You can take it a frame at a time and cut the comb into a large Ziploc bag. Then crush, then cut corner of the bag and let drain through a commander or strainer.
So glad you posted this. I have seen many 8 frame boxes on a 10 frame in pictures and wondered why the beekeeper did not match up the 10 frame boxes and 8 frame boxes with each other.
Doh. Did...
Maybe they were flow hives, that would make them cost about that much.....
But who would steel them??😉
A while back, I made a small split of 4 frames from a double deep hive. The frames had assorted stages of brood and a couple of queen cells. At least one was capped, and the other had something in...
Many beekeepers solve this issue of what is honey and what is sugar syrup in the hives by never feeding sugar after the honey super has been placed on the hive, and by not taking honey from the...
Try feeding them some sugar syrup for a few days. I do this when I make splits.
It lets them start making wax, and makes the queen more apt to start laying brood.
Unless you started all 12 hives this year, I would expect you to get more than 30 to 40 frames of honey by fall.
YOu just might be extracting more than you need.
Once they are settled in, you can put the empty on top.
I saw no mention of Elisa Testing in the article linked to. Perhaps it is mentioned in the referenced sources.
The article linked to mixes apples and oranges. The writer goes off on a tangent...
Problem is that the splits and the original hive all smell alike. They can go in without being stopped. Until a hive has its own queen this is likely to happen. This is why many folks take the...
Because the bees protect the honey while it sits in the hive waiting for extraction day. If I removed it and waited moths and ants etc. Might get into it.
Read up on mite away quick strips. They are considered organic and if I recall correctly could be used with honey supers on, although most use them in late sunner early fall after supers are off.
Consider putting off your extractor purchase until you get an extractor worth having. I did this and am glad I did not buy a 200.00 dollar model.
The first year I had suplusbhoney and did...
I would be more inclined to give them a frame of brood and eggs from the strong hive. This gives them workers and the option to raise a new queen.
I have had good luck with bag feeding. I use a shim that raises the lids about 1.5 inches. My shims are made of scrap and some are 2x2 and others 1x2 (1.5).
Take the syrup out warmish to hot and...
I use crimp wire wax foundation. I will cut a section out of every few frames and let the bees build it back. Sometimes injust break off the last section as I am mounting it in frame.

The Marlins Are Worth $243 Million More Than They Were Four Years Ago
Jeffrey Loria may try to paint the Miami Marlins as a money drain, but he's certainly getting a big ol' bang for his investment buck. According to new Forbes estimates out today, the Marlins are worth $520 million. That's only 26th in the league, but significantly up from the $360 million the team was worth just two years ago.
See also:
- The Screwball Economics of Major League Baseball
- Six Lies About the Marlins Stadium
Forbes estimates the team brought in $195 million in revenue last year, but that their net operating income was in the negative by $7.1 million. That would be the third-lowest operating income in the league, behind only the Angels of Anaheim and Texas Rangers.
Forbes estimated that the team was worth $450 million in 2012, and $360 million in 2011.

In 2009, Forbes estimated the team was worth just $277 million. At the time that was the lowest valuation in baseball.
Owner Jeffrey Loria bought the Marlins in 2002 for just $158.5 million (which included a hefty no-interest loan form the MLB).
So if Loria were to sell the Marlins today for the Forbes estimate of $520 million, he'd be walking away with about $360 million. Oddly, that's just a little less than the City of Miami and Miami-Dade county originally shelled out to build him that new park.

Kevin Davies' proposed move to MLS side Toronto FC has broken down due to contractual issues.
The Bolton striker's contract is due to expire at the end of the season, and with the Championship club expressing no desire to renew his deal at the Reebok Stadium, 36-year-old Davies had been keen to secure a move
A potential move to Canada looked set to be completed,
but legal complications have now scuppered the deal.
In a statement, Davies said: " It has been a complete rollercoaster since first speaking with Ryan Nelsen on April 18. As it
stands today I will not be leaving for Toronto FC, as reported.
"My young family and I were naturally very excited about the opportunity of going to Toronto on a short-term deal but after legal
advice we felt that certain obstacles put in our way were too large to overcome.
Davies has been unhappy at the lack of opportunities afforded to him at Bolton in recent times and despite making no secret of his urge to gain more playing time, the former Southampton and Blackburn man
insisted that he is still committed to Dougie Freedman's side.
He added: "While it has been the toughest month of my 10-year Bolton career I remain, as I always have done, 100 percent committed to the club. I will be ready if the manager needs me and hopefully have a part to
play in helping the club return to the Premier League.
"I have some fantastic memories of the last 10 years and feel honoured to have been the captain of this great club for the last five
years. Hopefully, it will finish with a fairytale ending."

Jared the Subway Guy His New Weight Struggle
More Than a Decade After He Famously Lost 245 Lbs. by Eating Subway Sandwiches, Jared Fogle Is Once Again Battling the Bulge
NOW 221 lbs.
Last fall Jared Fogle—who in 1999 had lost more than 200 lbs. on a diet of Subway sandwiches—knew something was up. He just didn't want to admit it was his weight. After months of reverting to "old habits," such as polishing off a whole steak instead of just half, or dousing his salad with regular instead of fat-free dressing, "I didn't need to tighten my belt as much," he admits. Even so, "I was saying, 'Oh, I can eat whatever I want.'" But after unflattering photos of his heftier 6'2" frame hit the Internet in November, Fogle, 32, finally stepped on a scale. "I thought, Wow, is this right?" he says of learning he was up from 190 to 231 lbs. "It was not pleasant." Determined to get back down to 200 lbs., Fogle, a Subway spokesman, is training for the ING New York City Marathon by working out four times a week and sticking to a 2,000-calorie daily diet. He is also counting on special motivation: He plans to wed teacher Katie McLaughlin, 30, this summer. This year, he says, "is my new beginning."

I'm thrilled to announce that we are now accepting proposals for 2016-2017 CFI Fellows! Maybe this is your year to consider having a little funding and space to take on a big financial inclusion question that could have a major impact on the industry.
We're looking for researchers who are willing to undertake ambitious work that will advance financial inclusion. We've assembled a set of five questions that we think represent some of the most pressing concerns facing the industry, and we will be funding the most promising proposals that set out a plan for answering these questions. The topics we selected are ones that have been well-vetted. They were sourced from an internal Accion-wide exercise, discussions with the CFI Advisory Council, consultation with our friends across the financial inclusion space, and the solicitation of your comments on our "shortlist" of questions here on the blog (thank you so much for your input!).
The research questions this year cover a range of topics:
What does effective human touch look like in our digital age? Although financial services are rapidly going digital, some customers, especially those new to the formal financial system or with lower levels of education may still desire to interface with people—to build trust, to troubleshoot problems, and to receive advice on their financial lives. How are financial services providers integrating human touch into digital products? Is it working? Where is human touch critical throughout the delivery process? Who within the target population is going to want and need that human touch more than others? And how should financial service providers build it into their process?

The following post was originally published on The Huffington Post.
The Institute of International Finance (IIF) and the Center for Financial Inclusion (CFI) issued a timely report earlier this month: "The Business of Financial Inclusion: Insights from Banks in Emerging Markets." This report is notable because its release comes at a time of expected – some would even argue inevitable – disruption within the financial services industry, specifically in the banking sector.
The report incorporates the key messages gleaned through in-depth interviews with 24 global, national, and regional institutions in 19 countries. The takeaways from these institutions are representative of the current state of banking in these markets and reveal how banks perceive both the opportunity and the challenge of achieving financial inclusion.
Currently, most, if not all, of the talk in the banking industry is about would-be disruptors—that is, the predators, not the prey. The report gives the prey's perspective and outlines how they plan to confront the potential threat to their business in emerging markets.
I am the CEO of Ezuza, a mobile money company. Ezuza is a predator, one of those would-be disruptors that are all the rage these days. More and more companies, both large and small, are entering the financial services fray, looking to shake things up and grab a share of what has mostly been the exclusive domain of well-established and deep-pocketed financial institutions serving an equally well-established and predictable market.

In a world of rapid change, few organizations have all the capabilities needed to accomplish every aspect of their business. This is true for commercial banks, which often find success in adapting to new opportunities through partnering. CFI's most recent publication, The Business of Financial Inclusion: Insights from Banks in Emerging Markets, a joint publication with the Institute of International Finance (IIF), illustrates how banks use partners to adopt new technologies and reach previously underserved markets.
The report, based on interviews with the financial inclusion leads at 24 banks, shines a spotlight on the role of banks as leaders in financial inclusion and discusses their specific strategies related to technology, data, financial capability, partnerships, and other issues.
The report found that banks create a variety of partnerships. The banks in our survey partner with telcos, payments companies, insurance companies, microfinance institutions, retailers, and consumer-goods companies. They work closely with governments for G2P payments and with international development agencies and donors that provide start-up capital for new financial inclusion initiatives. They also contract with digital technology providers such as data analytics companies, back-office systems providers, digital channel providers, financial capability providers, and other fintech firms.
Among many other areas, banks often use partnerships to improve on the following:

Over the last few years, we've made great progress in expanding financial access for those left out of the economic mainstream. From 2011-2014, more than 700 million people gained access to new financial accounts. If you've just been reading the headlines, you might assume that telcos and fintech start-ups are the primary forces driving that progress.
But the newest study from the Center for Financial Inclusion at Accion and the Institute of International Finance, "The Business of Financial Inclusion: Insights from Banks in Emerging Markets", found that of the 721 million adults who gained access to new financial accounts between 2011-2014, 90 percent of them did so at more traditional financial institutions.
Telcos and fintech start-ups have been getting the headlines; the banks have been getting the job done. That's important, exciting news.
This report shows that, for the first time, banks, all around the world, are seeing financial inclusion as a core business function. The Business of Financial Inclusion report shows that banks are creating lean, viable business models to reach customers they have never reached before. Digital payments are the main gateway for commercial banks to reach underbanked customers. They take many forms – transactional accounts, salaries and bill payments, G2P, and P2P. This means cheaper, more secure, and more convenient payments. Instead of spending hours traveling to make a single utility payment, mobile money allows you to push a button.

A recent Facebook promotion by a U.K. coffee shop offered, "Like us on Facebook and get a free coffee!" This line would totally get me. Wait… all I have to do is click one little button, and I can save $2? Sign me up!
A free cup of coffee, however, was not the only thing that customers received when they liked the coffee shop's Facebook page. They also got a very "personalized" experience, complete with the barista at the coffee shop rattling off their job, religion, birthdate, address, mother's maiden name, and more.
Check out the video that documented the customers' experiences here:
(My favorite part is when the barista says to the customer, "Oh, we know everything about you, Martin.")
As part of the CFI Fellows Program one of our fellows, AJ Mowl, has been looking at some of the pros and cons of leveraging consumer data for financial inclusion. As she has relayed to me some of the basic facts about big data, I have become more and more aware of just how big big data is—and what the consequences are when I trade access to my data for services.

It's a scene many can identify with: rushing to an emergency room at 1 a.m. with a young child whose fever has spiked and cannot be controlled with over-the-counter medicine. We generally feel helpless and our mind leaps into worst-case scenarios.
While we're considering the financial implications, they are secondary to ensuring our loved one receives immediate medical attention.
For many of us with health insurance, we already know what the visit is likely to cost us but we're still mentally considering what financial resources we're going to draw on to cover the emergency room co-pay.
Now imagine you are a mother that lives in Ecuador. Since neither you nor your spouse has formal employment with a consistent salary, you are ineligible for state health insurance. Private health insurance is out of the question with monthly premiums in the hundreds of dollars. To top it off, the first question you receive from the attending nurse in reception isn't about your child's condition but rather, "Cash or credit?" Many people are known to die during triage, simply from the requirement of having to show payment up front.

Last week the President of Mexico launched the country's long-delayed National Financial Inclusion Strategy. The comprehensive plan engages the spheres of private banking, social welfare, public education, telecommunications, and more to extend quality financial services to the 56 percent of adults in the country who remain without a formal bank account. Although the plan was nearly full-formed three years ago and has since sat on the proverbial shelf, the enactment of the strategy represents a reaffirmed commitment to financial inclusion across the Mexican Government, including the Office of the President, the Central Bank, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Public Education.
The national strategy is structured as a six-pillared plan. The Ministry of Public Education (Secretaria de Educacion Publica) will promote financial education starting with children and youth by incorporating related content into the curriculum of public education. Financial education will also be embedded in government programs like Prospera, Credito Joven, and Mujeres PYME. Prospera is Mexico's conditional cash transfer program, which has 6.5 million beneficiaries. Credito Joven is a youth inclusion program introduced in February 2015 that aims to empower young people, in part by providing credit to those with no credit histories. Mujeres PYME offers finance and business development support to small businesses led by women.

When most microfinance clients start out they're first-timers at a formal financial institution. Like anything unfamiliar, a first foray with banks can be intimidating. You don't want to be duped or make a mistake and lose precious savings. Peace of mind was granted to clients of two microfinance institutions, one in Paraguay and the other in the Dominican Republic recently as the first Smart Certifications in those countries were awarded. Fundacion Paraguaya and Banco ADOPEM were certified as meeting all the standards needed to treat their clients with adequate care. This certification demonstrates to prospective clients as well as investors and other industry stakeholders that their institutions are operating responsibly.
Fundacion Paraguaya and Banco ADOPEM are both market leaders in their own right. Banco ADOPEM is one of the largest microfinance institutions in the Dominican Republic. According to the MIX, 351,000 depositors in the Dominican Republic bank with Banco ADOPEM. When Banco ADOPEM pursues and achieves Smart Certification, that sends a message to MFIs and other stakeholders in the country that client protection is a key priority. In 2014 ADOPEM was named "Most Innovative Microfinance Institution of the Year" by Citi, in part because of ATA-Movil, a portable electronic application that allows credit advisers to assess customers in their businesses or in their homes. The mobile information system also allows for convenient and direct communication with clients.

What are the biggest unanswered questions in financial inclusion? This isn't rhetorical—we want your opinion.
In preparation for selecting three CFI Fellows for 2016-2017, we are developing a short list of questions whose answers would drive financial inclusion forward.
Our Research Fellows Program is an initiative intended to tackle the biggest questions in financial inclusion—in order for the industry to take action in new areas and in new ways. The current cohort of fellows is finalizing research ranging from big data to small enterprises to technology infrastructure to G2P payments.
The questions we put forward for this next cohort will only be relevant if they are essential to the financial inclusion community. So we're coming to you (yes, you!) for your input.
To get the conversation started, here are some of the questions on our working list. Let us know below in the comments which you think are compelling, and please take the liberty of adding your own.

When classifying cars, the Insurance Institute considers weight as well as size. That's why, for example, the Buick Verano appears in this list even though it's the same size as the Chevrolet Cruze, which is 200lbs lighter and listed as a "Small car." (With electric cars, like the Chevrolet Volt, the added weight of the battery might not be considered.)

WASHINGTON — Three years ago, the surprise election of Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York as the new president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops broke with precedent, upending expectations that the sitting vice president — in this case, Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Ariz. — would get the top job.
Media commentators jumped on the news, with reporters characterizing Archbishop Dolan as the "more outspoken and conservative" USCCB candidate, as a Washington Post story put it. But the New York archbishop waved off suggestions that his election signaled a shift in priorities for the nation's largest religious body.
"You might interpret this as the bishops are tired of short...READ MORE

that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Daniel 9:27 and he shall strengthen the covenant with many for one week
The Hebrew word translated as Strengthen in Dan 9:27 transliterated into English as Gawbar is a verb that means to give strength, to confirm.
The verse in question does not say that he makes or signs a new treaty/covenant as christians have been taught to believe, if that were so Daniel would have used the Hebrew word Karath not Gawbar, to make or cut as in a new Covenant Jer 31:33
The text says that he will strengthen a covenant that already exist with many,
and that strenghtening begins the final week of this age.

Why was Obama given a crown/prize ?
April 6, 2009
Obama addressing the Turkish parliament
The United States strongly supports the goal of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side
in peace and security
. That is a goal shared by Palestinians, Israelis, and people of goodwill around the world.
That is a goal that the parties agreed to in the Road map and at Annapolis
That is a goal that I will actively pursue as President of the United States
...... like the United States, you seek a future of opportunity and statehood for the Palestinians.
Obama's Speech in Cairo, Egypt June 4, 2009
The only resolution is for the aspirations of both sides to be met through two states, where Israelis and Palestinians each live
in peace and security
. .
I intend to personally pursue this outcome with all the patience that the task requires
The obligations that the parties have agreed to under the Road Map are clear
. For peace to come, it is time for them — and all of us — to live up to our responsibilities. ....
The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop....
..... when Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed (peace be upon them) joined in prayer.
1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say,
Peace and security
then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

With all this said...
In Scripture it is prophesied that Satan will be cast out at the mid-point of the seventieth week,

Editorial Reviews
"Deft, wildly imaginative. . . . Every chapter crackles with energy and action. Lies, betrayals, romance, humor—expect them all. . . . A page-turner that thoughtfully questions its own world—and makes you long for a sequel to the sequel." —Oprah.com
"Crammed with incident, intrigue and peril. . . . One gets easily swept up by the suspenseful story Silver tells, and the excitement, dread and courage of its young narrator and his companions." —Seattle Times
"A rollicking adventure. . . . [Silver] has everything: a seagoing adventure with endearing heroes, barbarous pirates, venomous snakes, a loquacious parrot, and romance. Can't miss." —Library Journal
And More Praise from the UK
"Elegant, affectionate homage to Robert Louis Stevenson … A piece of writing born of genuine love and respect for the original." —The Sunday Times
"Deeply pleasing and convivial. . . . As with Treasure Island, Silver is left open to the possibility of its own sequel, and surely no one would wish Motion to swallow the anchor." —The Guardian
"[Silver] reeks of authenticity, cunning, intrigue, suspense and adventure. It's brilliant, and for all ages." —Daily Mirror
"[Motion] reinvents Stevenson's world to reveal its dark underside, illuminating both its mysterious beauty and its grim immortality. . . . Stands in its own right as a companion volume to a literary classic" —The Observer
"[An] elegant, thrilling sequel. . . . Motion's prose, vivid and glowingly poetic, is a brilliant counterpoint to the fascinating action." —The Daily Mail

Andrew Motion's is the worst one yet because he broke every rule about successful sequel writing; in fact he all but gives a clinic on how NOT to write a sequel.
First, ruin the ending of the original. The only reason anyone is interested in reading your sequel is because they loved the original, probably including the ending, so be sure to start off by trashing it. In this novel Jim Hawkins, Sr., wastes more than half of his share of the treasure on riotous living.Read more ›
This book, however, notsomuch. I found it taking too long to get anywhere in the beginning, especially when Hawkins chases this wasp for 5 pages. I really failed to understand why this lengthy chase was important to the book.
The story was good enough to read, but I don't know if it is worth a second, third or fourth read. The back story of Treasure Island seemed unnecessary. I would think anyone who picks up this book will be familiar enough with its predecessor that we do not need a great description of what happened before this.
If you are an RLS fan this is something worth checking out, but I would say if you don't care for pirates, sea-faring voyages or RLS himself, you might want to pass.
Let's cut to the chase, me swabs: This "sequel" to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island is an failure because it lacks the sine qua non of any adventure yarn: to wit, adventure, and one might add, suspense.
We already know from the onset of the book that young Jim Hawkins Jr. will survive - He's lived to tell the tale, after all - and that his beloved friend Natty will as well. He's such a straight-laced, virtuous boy scout of a character though that, at times, I wish he'd been impaled on one the ever so vile castaway's "gullies" - gully being a Scottish term for a dagger which Motion handily purloins from Stevenson.
Everything is so bleeding predictable. From the the handsome, upright Captain (cough, cough) "Beamish", to the nobility of the slaves, the evil leers of the "maroons" etc. etc. etc. I was never in doubt as to what was going to happen in the next instance.
The other cardinal sin, as two other reviewers, so far, have pointed out, is that Motion infects what should be an historical novel with a very 21st century sensibility. It just won't wash, so to speak.Read more ›
I have often wondered if a novel could be written with the same lyricism and feeling for language that poetry exhibits. There are some examples of this in literature, and Silver is one. I'm sure Andrew Motion is a fine poet. He knows, or cares, nothing about pacing, plotting, and fulfilling readers expectations for a good story. But the internal monologue of the narrator, Jim Hawkins Junior, can be very beautiful and insightful, and his descriptions of nature very well done. All of this, while it is spinning out with wonderful lyricism, is generally killing the pace of the story and diverting it from the main thrust of its plot, which is a very poor plot in any case.
Jim Hawkins' son, also named Jim, joins with Long John's daughter Nattie, on an adventure back to Treasure Island. The expedition is financed by a dying Long John, and its purpose is to retrieve a hoard of silver bars left behind on the island. Long John and the elder Hawkins are not along, only their children.
Three pirates left behind on the island 40 years earlier have joined with the crew of a wrecked slaver ship, and are using and brutalizing the slaves who were the cargo of the wrecked ship in the worst way.Read more ›

It is a very attractive bed, however it says that using a box spring is optional... It is NOT optional. It has 3 wooden planks that you rest your mattress on top of, when you lay down on it, the parts of the mattress that are not on a wooden plank sink to the ground. The bed is fine as long as you get a box spring.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Average
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Poor
I have been looking at this bed for months, but I just had a problem buying something online I'd never seen before. Finally, after being sick of sleeping on just a bedframe, I took the plunge after seeing good reviews on Overstock. The item arrived before the estimated delivery date. The packaging was amazing. I was worried after watching the UPS deliverer practically throw it at my front door, but there is so much packing material that is was more than safe. My husband put it together by himself in about a hour. I have got to say that this bed is very solidly constructed. It looks very sophisticated with the nice clean lines on the headboard. We have black bedroom furniture so this matched perfectly. I like that the headboard is not too high at all. We chose to use a mattress and box spring because we like to sleep a little higher. Very satisfied with this product and very glad I took that chance buying it without seeing it.
This was our first time buying online. Product is worth every penny. Beautiful in color and very impressed with the construction. Box Springs for your mattress is required for better support. We love this piece of furniture. Looks very rich in our room. We highly recommend. Thank you
I purchased this bed for my 14 yr. old. He has a black dresser so I wanted a black bed that looked like a "real" bed. The headboard and footboard make this bed a beautiful statement piece in the room. I put it together by myself in about an hour. Super easy!! It looks so nice. it is made of some laminate and some MDF but you can't expect all wood for this inexpensive price. It works for my budget and needs. You can't go wrong by ordering this bed. My recommendation is to use a box spring with it. There are only three slats that go across the frame and the boxspring gives the bed some stability and "height". Buy it!!!!
I was scared about buying a piece of furniture on line at first. But finally, I'd decided on this bed frame. It only took 3 days to be delivered (fast processing/shipping). The way this product was packed...one word..."outstanding"!. I could not find any dents or scratches on this bed frame. It took me about 2 hours to put it together; no hardware pieces were missing (they've even pack more than enough). I have to admit that I'm very happy with this purchased. But like anything else...only time will tell how durable is this bed frame :)
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Pretty accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality
The bed is beautiful. It is sturdy and doesn't shake or creak. There is a huge problem though, and that is that there is practically no support for your mattress. There was no picture of the support system, which is 3 wooden slats running across the bed. theres no center beam for support, and the slats are so widely spaced that the mattress falls down in between them almost to the floor. Without a box spring, there is a 5 inch gap between the surface of the mattress and the bottom of the headboard. purchasing a box spring wouldn't be a big deal if the description hadn't said it was optional, it is absolutely not optional. even with that, I bought more wood slats and supports from home depot to go under the box spring. I was afraid to sleep on it. I am very disappointed with this product, even though it looks very nice. I just had to do too much extra work for the bed to be functional.
Looks great put together, which took less than an hour. Great value too. The packing was perfect and every piece was well protected. As in other reviews, you do need a box spring. This bed will also accommodate the thicker mattresses with the built in or added toppers as well. Love it!!
As I read in the other reviews, this item was packed and shipped with protection in mind. While this makes unpacking and disposing of the boxes & Styrofoam annoying, it's more than worth it since there was not a scratch anywhere! Assembly was easy as well, very clear & simple instructions and intuitive design means it was almost impossible to make a mistake. The bed is sturdy and has no squeaks or rattles. Also, as people mentioned, there are only 3 slats (each with a leg) but this means you need a box-spring for sure, which I already had.
I was incredibly disappointed when getting this bed as the frame was quite flimsy, a supporting post underneath the bed broke within minutes of putting the bed together and laying on it, and the frame moves when you are resting on it. I am concerned that one day soon I will fall right through. The style is classic, the color is a nice black, the shipping and handling were great; no problems there. It is simply a low quality bed for low purchase price. I would not choose this bed again.
I was so shocked that I could pay so little and get so much. I looked all over for a bed and saw prices $XXX and more. I paid less then $XXX and free shipping. The directions were very easy to follow. When I needed some help I called the # and got someone who answered the question quickly. This is the best company I have ever dealt with.
Purchased this bed to match some black bedroom furniture that I purchased from another company. The bed goes really well and I was able to put it together by myself. Shipping was also accurate and it was delivered in a prompt manner (6 days after ordering).
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Appropriate description - black
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Great quality for a reasonable price.
Who wouldn't be hesitant to buy a bed sight unseen? For the price, this thing exceeded all of my expectations. It came packaged very well, with lots of foam blocks and protective wrapping around each piece. I thankfully just moved into my new house and had a 2nd bedroom in which to lay out all of the pieces and slowly bring them into the master bedroom where the bed was to be assembled. Parts were easy to find, and the wood was in great shape. I had a helper assembling, and we were able to put it together in about 45 minutes... easily could have been done faster, but we were taking our time. As a guy in my 20s, this fits perfectly in the black and white design of my room, and really surpassed all of my expectations for quality vs. price.
The bed looks nice and was easy to put together. I have had it for a month now and it has been holding up well.
I had to give up my beloved king size bed because my new place had much smaller bedrooms. I liked the style of this bed so decided to try it. The bed was delivered quickly. When I saw all the boxes I was worried about the assembly but soon found out that it was not a problem. I assembled the bed by myself in less than an hour. Very easy even considering that I am NOT handy with tools! The bed is absolutely a value for the money.
I would have given 5 stars but it had a small gash on the headboard- I covered it with a Sharpie- but still. Def not worth sending back. Sturdy enough for my heavy 21 year old when he's home from college!
I needed an inexpensive bed for our lake house. After reading the reviews from others, decided on the Bedford bed. It arrived quickly and was packaged to perfection. Instructions and needed tools to assemble the bed were included. My husband and I put it together in just two hours. It took some time unpacking from the boxes and then we had to break down all the packaging. The only issue we had is one of the back brackets on the headboard would not sit flush at the bottom because it would not stay screwed in but did not appear to affect stability of the set up. We used a box spring and and mattress and find it to be just the right height. It will not be easy to vacuum under because the height is not great for a vac to fit under. Great bed for the price, looks awesome and so thrilled that I took the risk and ordered it. Thank you to the other reviewers for taking the time to review the bed and helping me make my decision!
We ordered this frame for our infrequently used guest room. It went together easily and looks great. The other reviews about needing more support are correct, but an easy fix. There is also a 4 inch gap between the length of the bed and the length of the mattress. If you have lots of fluffy blankets, it won't show. I would not use this without a boxspring. We have a low profile box spring and it just barely comes flush with the headboard. Any lower and there would be a gap. These are minor nitpicks though and we're completely happy. I'm really impressed with the price of this and how nice it looks.
It was shipped to me with no damages, and arrived just as the listing said it would. The bed is of solid construction, and easy to put together. The only complaint I have is the middle slats that hold the mattress are of poor construction. The legs kept falling off and the slats themselves are flimsy. However all I did was go to Lowes and had some smooth plywood cut to length and replaced the 3 original slats with 5 new slats of plywood, and cut a 2x4 down to 6 pieces to serve as the legs underneath the plywood to support the weight. Added about ***to the overall price but it's a beautiful bed, and over time those slats wear down anyway so eventually I've pretty much done this to ever bed I've ever owned.
This bed came in three shipments and packaged very well. It look an hour or so to put the bed together. The bed is a good value and is very pleasing to the eye!! The quality is similar to a Pier 1 bed - maybe a little less but that is what I would compare it to. You aren't purchasing a *** bed!!!
Bought for my son. Very elegant, high end looking. Solid. It looks great in his room.

Looking at the picture, I thought it would have been lacey towards the top but lined on the bust area.
The body is a bit too long, but I'm only 5'1".
I anticipated the length being a bit long. All in all, this will work fine for me.
