Greyhound Lines, Inc., based in Dallas, Texas, is an intercity bus service common carrier of passengers serving over 3,700 destinations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, operating under the logo of a leaping greyhound. It was founded in Hibbing, Minnesota in 1914 and incorporated as Greyhound Corporation in 1929. Today, it is headquartered at 350 North St. Paul Street in Downtown Dallas, Texas under the ownership of British transport firm FirstGroup, which operates Greyhound as an independent subsidiary and a division of FirstGroup America.[2]
Along with its flagship Greyhound brand, and the subsidiary Greyhound Express brand, the company also operates or co-operates BoltBus,[3] NeOn and YO! Bus.
Early years[edit]
Carl Eric Wickman was born in Sweden in 1887. In 1905 he moved to the United States where he was working in a mine as a drill operator in Alice, Minnesota, until he was laid off in 1914. In the same year, he became a Hupmobile salesman in Hibbing, Minnesota.[4] He proved unable to sell the car. In 1914, using his remaining vehicle, a 7-passenger car,[5] he began a bus service with Andy (Bus Andy) Anderson and C. A. A. (Arvid) Heed,[6] by transporting iron ore miners from Hibbing to Alice (known for its saloons)[5] at 15 cents a ride.[7]
In 1915, Wickman joined forces with Ralph Bogan, who was running a similar service from Hibbing to Duluth, Minnesota. The name of the new organization was the Mesaba Transportation Company, and it made $8,000 in profit in its first year.
By the end of World War I in 1918, Wickman owned 18 buses and was making an annual profit of $40,000. In 1922, Wickman joined forces with Orville Caesar, the owner of the Superior White Bus Lines. Four years later, Wickman reached an agreement with two West Coast operations, the Pickwick Lines and the Pioneer Yelloway System.[clarification needed]
In 1926, Wickman's bus operations became known as Greyhound Lines. An important moment in Greyhound's history came when Ed Stone set up a route from Superior, Wisconsin to Wausau, Wisconsin. The Greyhound moniker can be found in a story that during his inaugural run, passing through a small northern Wisconsin town, Stone saw the reflection of the 1920s era bus in a store window, which reminded him of a greyhound dog and he adopted that name for that segment of the Blue Goose Lines, as the Wickman lines were then known; later the entire system became Greyhound. Stone later became General Sales Manager of GM's Yellow Truck and Coach division, which built Greyhound buses. (At the Greyhound Bus Museum in Hibbing, a plaque displays this information.) Wickman, as the president of the company, continued to expand it so that by 1927, his buses were making transcontinental trips from California to New York. In 1928, Greyhound had a gross annual income of $6 million.[5]
Wickman's business suffered during the Great Depression, and, by 1931, was over $1 million in debt. However, with the later improvement in the economy, the Greyhound Corporation began to prosper again. In 1935, Wickman was able to announce record profits of $8 million. By the outbreak of World War II, the company had 4,750 stations and nearly 10,000 employees.
Wickman retired as president of the Greyhound Corporation in 1946, being replaced by his long-time partner Caesar. Wickman died at the age of 67 in 1954.
Postwar expansion and diversification[edit]
After World War II, and the building of the Interstate Highway System beginning in 1956, automobile ownership and travel became a preferred mode of travel in the United States. Along with a similar downward trend in public transportation in general, ridership on Greyhound and Trailways bus routes began a long decline.
Greyhound leadership saw the trend and began significant changes, including using the profitable bus operations to invest in other industries. By the 1970s, Greyhound had moved its headquarters to Phoenix, Arizona and was a large and diversified company, with holdings in everything from the Armour meat-packing company (which in turn owned the popular Dial deodorant soap brand), acquired in 1970; Traveller's Express money orders, MCI bus manufacturing company, and even airliner leasing. Indeed, Greyhound had entered a time of great change, even beginning to hire African American and female drivers in the late seventies.[8]
For many young people from Europe, Greyhound was the way they got to know America because of a special unlimited mileage offer: "99 days for US$99" (equal to $781.2 today) or, in other words, a dollar a day (equal to $7.89 today), anytime, anyplace, and anywhere. (The equivalent today is known as the Discovery Pass.)
Greyhound established the Premier Cruise Line in 1983. It would last until 2000 and at one time billed itself as the "Official Cruise Line of Walt Disney World".
In late 1984, Greyhound had a major and bitter drivers' strike, with one fatality in Zanesville, Ohio.[citation needed] By the time contract negotiations were due again, three years later, the bus line had been spun off from the parent company to new owners. This resulted in Greyhound Lines becoming solely a bus transportation company headed by Fred Currey, a former executive with the largest member of the National Trailways Bus System. Greyhound's corporate headquarters then relocated to Dallas, Texas. The old parent changed its name to the Dial Corporation.
Spin-off from Dial Corporation[edit]
Under new ownership in 1987, led by Currey, Greyhound Lines acquired Trailways, Inc. in June of that year (formerly Continental Trailways), the largest member of the rival National Trailways Bus System, effectively consolidating into a national bus service. Greyhound was required by the ICC, in their action approving the merger, to maintain coordinated schedules with other scheduled service operators in the U.S.[9]
Three years later, there was another costly strike beginning in March 1990. It was during this strike, combined with the loss of diversification and strength provided by the former parent company and labor-law violations, that Greyhound had to file for bankruptcy in June 1990. This strike was as bitter as the strike of the 1980s, with violence against both strikers and their replacement workers. One striker in California was killed by a Greyhound bus driven by a strikebreaker.[10] At the same time, Greyhound was having to contend with the rise of low-cost airlines like Southwest Airlines, which further reduced the market for long-distance inter-city bus transportation. The strike would not be settled for 38 months under terms favorable to Greyhound. While the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) had awarded damages for unfair labor practices to the strikers, this liability was discharged during bankruptcy reorganization.[10][11]
In 1997, Greyhound Lines acquired Carolina Trailways, one of the largest members of the National Trailways Bus System; in 1998, Greyhound acquired the intercity operations of Southeastern Trailways.[12][13] Following the acquisitions, most of the other independent members of the Trailways System began interlining cooperatively with Greyhound, discontinued their regular route services, diversified into charters and tours, or went out of business altogether.
Laidlaw ownership and reorganization of the route network[edit]
In 1999, Burlington, Ontario-based transportation conglomerate Laidlaw Inc. acquired Greyhound Lines, Inc.'s U.S. operations, including Carolina Trailways and other Greyhound affiliates. (Laidlaw had previously acquired Greyhound Canada.)
After incurring heavy losses through its investments in Greyhound Lines and other parts of its diversified business, Laidlaw Inc. filed for protection under both U.S. and Canadian bankruptcy laws in June 2001.
Naperville, Illinois-based Laidlaw International, Inc. listed its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (Ticker: LI) on February 10, 2003 and emerged from re-organization on June 23, 2003 as the successor to Laidlaw Inc. In the wake of this bankruptcy filing, Greyhound would exit a number of areas, particularly rural areas, turning routes in those areas over to local operators (often with government subsidies), particularly in the Plains states, parts of the upper Midwest such as Wisconsin, and the Pacific Northwest.[14][15] During these route changes in 2004 and 2005, a number of routes were eliminated altogether, most notably the Interstate 90 route between Chicago and Seattle. (However, Greyhound later restored service on some of the aforementioned routes, including the Chicago-Seattle route.)[16][17]
FirstGroup ownership[edit]
On February 7, 2007, FirstGroup plc of Aberdeen, Scotland agreed to purchase Laidlaw International for US$3.6 billion (£1.9 billion). The deal closed on September 30, 2007.[18] Although its original intention was merely to buy the school bus part of Laidlaw, it later decided to retain the Greyhound part, too. The Greyhound name has been retained by FirstGroup; the brands of its subsidiaries, however, are not being retained and will disappear as buses are retired.[19]
Under the ownership of FirstGroup, other concerns have also been addressed. Greyhound had come under criticism for its bus assignment practices. Although bus tickets have times and dates printed on them, seating is not guaranteed and is 'first-come, first-served'. Greyhound will add additional "sections" (buses) in periods of high demand, but the threshold required to trigger an additional section varies. Passengers may have to wait for the next bus departure time.[20] Shortly after the sale to FirstGroup closed, Greyhound began a program in select markets, most notably in the northeastern United States, where riders could reserve a seat for an additional US$5. However, the US$5 fee would have to be paid at the terminal, even if the ticket was bought online, and only a limited number of seats could be reserved.[21]
The "New Greyhound"[edit]
Also under FirstGroup ownership, Greyhound has sought to improve its image and create what it calls the "New Greyhound", spending US$60 million to refurbish many terminals, expand the fleet with new buses, refurbish old buses and staff terminals with associates who are able to help those who have questions about the bus system. Greyhound is initiating an advertising campaign with Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners aimed at attracting 18-24 year olds and Hispanics.[22] As a result, after the FirstGroup acquisition, Greyhound began advertising as "The New Greyhound".
The "New Greyhound" also saw the introduction of a new logo and a new navy blue and dark gray livery for buses. The company is in the process of rolling out the new livery to the nationwide fleet. As buses are repainted they are also being refurbished, receiving wireless Internet access and new leather seating.[23]
International Brand Expansion[edit]
In 2009, the Greyhound brand, along with the new livery, was exported to the United Kingdom, with parent FirstGroup using the Greyhound name (Greyhound UK, in Britain's case) for services designed to compete against its primary competitors in the British intercity bus travel market, National Express and Stagecoach's Megabus.
Greyhound operates 121 routes serving over 3,700 destinations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Greyhound's scheduled services compete with the private automobile, low-cost airlines, and other intercity coach companies.
Greyhound Express[edit]
Greyhound Express is an low-cost express city-to-city service that makes either no stops or fewer stops compared to a traditional route. Fares start at $1 and, unlike other Greyhound routes, all tickets sold on Greyhound Express are for reserved seating and buses are not oversold. Passengers are assigned to a boarding group which means the passengers who purchased their tickets earlier, get to board the bus and choose their seats earlier. Greyhound Express routes exclusively use refurbished buses that are equipped with Wi-Fi, power outlets, leather seats, and extra legroom.[24] The service began in 2011 and is designed to directly compete with low-cost carriers like Megabus.[25][24]
Greyhound Connect[edit]
Greyhound Connect is a connector service that operates shorter routes to take passengers from stops in smaller, rural cities to stations in larger, urban cities. Buses are either from Greyhound's existing fleet or smaller, mid-sized buses (that are not equipped with a lavatory). Currently the Greyhound Connect service is offered in Alabama, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina and Utah.[26] Some routes are operated using National Rural Transit Assistance Program funds from the Federal Transit Administration.[27]
Other brands and partnerships[edit]
Discount services[edit]
Since the purchase of Greyhound Lines by FirstGroup, Greyhound has initiated three new discount bus services that are operated in conjunction with other regional operators. These services are designed to compete with Chinatown bus carriers and more directly with Megabus. Both services offer Wi-Fi and outlets into which electronic equipment, i.e. cell phones, laptops, and DVD players, can be plugged at every seat.
In March 2008, Greyhound announced a new service titled BoltBus into the Boston-NYC-DC megalopolis, modeled on the Megabus system in use at the time in the Chicago metropolitan area and in the United Kingdom, offering fares as low as US$1, with the lowest fares depending on how far in advance a trip is booked and demand for the trip, with fares increasing for trips booked closer to departure. On each trip, at least one seat is sold for US$1, with prices increasing as more seats sell.[28] The service began in the Northeast US on March 27, 2008, in partnership with Peter Pan Bus Lines.
BoltBus expanded to the West Coast in May 2012 with a route in the Pacific Northwest (between Vancouver, British Columbia and Portland, Oregon). Service was expanded again in October and November 2013 with two routes in California (Los Angeles - San Jose/Oakland & Los Angeles - San Diego). West Coast routes are owned and operated directly by Greyhound without a regional partner.
On May 29, 2008, NeOn, a service based on the Megabus model used in the United Kingdom and United States, as well as the BoltBus service used by Greyhound in the US, began service to and from Toronto in association with Trailways of New York, operating between street stops at Penn Station in Manhattan and the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto. The service was originally designed to attract a new demographic of traveler who had long ago stopped taking intercity buses but who had grown comfortable with the low cost and convenience of the Chinatown bus services in the northeastern US. NeOn was initially set up to directly compete with the Megabus M24 and M26 routes operating twice daily between New York City and Toronto making very few stops (Buffalo twice-daily and Syracuse once-daily).
Poor performance led Greyhound to make adjustments to the service until the NeOn name became purely superficial, a marketing name for what was otherwise exactly the same intercity local bus service that had always existed. Many departure times are now available as a result, though travel times have increased considerably. A "NeOn" bus will often physically be a New York Trailways bus, albeit with Wifi, making stops in, for example, Scranton, Binghamton, Ithaca, Syracuse, Rochester, the Buffalo Airport, Buffalo, customs at the U.S.-Canadian border, Fort Erie, St. Catharines, Mississauga, and finally Toronto. The name NeOn is now even used on completely different routes such as to Plattsburgh and Montreal, further reducing the brand differentiation. Many runs also terminate at the Trailways gates at the Port Authority rather than the former streetside drop off at Penn Station. With the loss of more direct, customized travel has come a reversion to the more traditional demographic of local bus traveler, the very sort of traveler that NeOn was supposed to grow beyond.
The service continues to be a joint operation between sister companies Greyhound Lines, Greyhound Canada, and Trailways of New York, the major inter-city bus carrier within most of New York State.
YO! Bus[edit]
YO! Bus is a discount bus service started in December 2012 in partnership with Peter Pan Bus Lines,[29] operating routes between Boston, Philadelphia, and Manhattan's Chinatown.[30] The buses feature leather seats, Wi-Fi, and power outlets.
It competed with Lucky Star Bus and Fung Wah Bus routes,[30] both Chinatown bus lines, until those companies were shut down and service suspended in 2013 due to safety concerns by government transportation authorities. YO! Bus originally launched between Manhattan's Chinatown and Philadelphia, with service between Manhattan's Chinatown and Boston beginning later in the spring of 2013.[31]
Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach[edit]
Greyhound is one of the major operators of Amtrak's Thruway Motorcoach service even though the two are competitors in some markets. The service actually compensates for lost intercity rail service in many instances and provides access to locations away from Amtrak's rail lines. In some cases the added convenience of through-ticketing is available for connecting passengers.
Notable incidents and accidents[edit]
Below is a list of major incidents and accidents on Greyhound buses and buses of subsidiaries in the United States.
- August 4, 1952: In Greyhound's deadliest accident, two Greyhound buses collided head-on along the then-U.S. Route 81 near Waco, Texas. The fuel tanks of both buses then ruptured, bursting into flames. Of the 56 persons aboard both coaches, 28 were killed, including both drivers.[32][33]
- May 9, 1980: A freight ship collided with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa, Florida, resulting in several vehicles including a Greyhound bus falling into Tampa Bay. All 26 people on the bus perished, along with nine others. This is the largest loss of life on a single Greyhound coach to date.
- October 3, 2001: At approximately 4:15 a.m. local time, a passenger, Damir Igric, assaulted the driver of his bus, attempting to slit his throat, and causing the bus to crash near Manchester, Tennessee, killing Igric and five other passengers and injuring 32 others. Since the incident occurred three weeks after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Greyhound temporarily disabled its entire system as soon as the company learned of the incident for fear that it may have been part of a larger co-ordinated attack. After investigation by the company and the FBI, it was confirmed that Igric had acted alone and service resumed later that afternoon.[34] After the incident, Greyhound bus stations increased security, though not nearly to the same level as that of airports or train stations.
- September 30, 2002: Arturo Martinez Tapia assaulted another Greyhound driver near Fresno, California, resulting in two passenger deaths after the bus then rolled off an embankment and crashed.[35] Following this attack, driver shields were installed on most Greyhound buses which now prevent passengers from having direct contact with the driver when the bus is in motion, even if the shield is forced open. On buses which do not have the shield, the seats directly behind the driver are usually off limits to passengers.[36]
- October 9, 2013: On Interstate 80 near White Deer in Central Pennsylvania, a Greyhound bus traveling from New York to Chicago rear-ended a commercial truck. One passenger was killed and several others were injured.[37]
- November 15, 2013: 17 vehicles were involved in a pile up on Highway 1 in Chilliwack, near Vancouver, Canada. One of the 17 vehicles was a Greyhound bus carrying 36 passengers. 14 people were sent to the hospital and six were seriously injured.[38]
Increasingly, concern has been given to bus security. As a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, train and airplane security have been substantially increased, but this increase has not been provided to bus security. Baggage is neither inspected, nor identification checked. Greyhound says that security wands have been deployed on buses, but they do not appear to be routinely used.[39]
Greyhound announced in a press conference in 2007 that a pilot program to test various security measures would be implemented at select stations and on select coaches starting later that year.
In February 2013, in partnership with DriveCam, Greyhound deployed video cameras across its entire fleet to increase safety and driver compliance by combining data and video analytics with real-time driver feedback and coaching.[40]
Greyhound Community Reflections Mural Program[edit]
Greyhound Lines and the National Council for La Raza (NCLR) sponsor the Greyhound Community Reflections Mural Program, in which Latino American student artists paint murals reflecting the contributions of Latino Americans. These are posted in Greyhound Stations across the United States.[41] The bus line had three painted in Texas by 2003.[42]
Current Fleet[edit]
Greyhound primarily operates motorcoaches produced by Motor Coach Industries and Prevost.
In an effort to improve its image, the company has been aggressively purchasing new coaches and refurbishing existing coaches. Each of the new and refurbished coaches have the new navy blue and grey livery on the exterior, wireless Internet access and leather seating with armrests, footrests, cup holders, seat belts and 120V power outlets (at most seats). The coaches also have a row of seats removed, giving passengers additional legroom. [23]

(Not all coaches listed are still in service due to accidents and ADA requirements.)
"Demonstrator" coaches[edit]
Greyhound also occasionally uses "demonstrator" coaches (on loan from a manufacturer looking to sell coaches to Greyhound) on routes. Current demonstrators include the Setra S217HDH and the Van Hool C2045.
Past coaches with nicknames[edit]
- General Motors PD-4501 Scenicruiser
- Motor Coach Industries MC 5A
- Motor Coach Industries MC 6 Supercruiser
- Motor Coach Industries MC 7 Scenicruiser Super 7
- Motor Coach Industries MC 8 Americruiser (aka Crusader)
- Motor Coach Industries MC 9 Americruiser II (aka Crusader II)
Later models such as the A series and the MC-12 bore only the Americruiser name. MCI D and G series, Prevost, and Van Hool coaches do not carry nicknames. For several years after the purchase of Trailways, Inc., by Greyhound Lines, Inc. in 1987, Greyhound also operated a number of Eagles, the signature Trailways coach, which had come from the Trailways fleet.[citation needed] Since the transition period after the merger, Greyhound has no longer operated Eagle coaches.[citation needed] Photos show Eagles with Greyhound paint schemes,[48][49] a Trailways paint scheme with a dog logo,[50][51][52][53] and a Trailways paint scheme with the required Greyhound legal lettering.[54] Foreign examples are for unaffiliated Greyhound Australia[55] and apparently Costa Rica.[56]
(This list covers stations within or adjacent to stations for regional rapid transit and commuter rail service.)
Greyhound has stations in most major cities in the counties where it operates, as well as some mid-size cities and towns. Some Greyhound locations function as part of transit centers primarily functioning as stations for regional or municipal rapid transit or commuter rail services, i.e. St. Louis, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.
In popular culture[edit]
- The Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil song "On Broadway" (remade most famously by The Drifters and later George Benson) mentions "I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home".
- Chuck Berry rides a Greyhound bus from Norfolk, Virginia, to Birmingham, Alabama, in his 1965 song "Promised Land".
- The Allman Brothers Band referenced Greyhound Lines in their 1973 hit song "Ramblin' Man."[57]
- Simon and Garfunkel referred to Greyhound Lines in their song "America".
- In his song Me And The Devil, blues singer and guitarist Robert Johnson expresses a wish that his body be buried beside a road so that his "old evil spirit" can "catch a Greyhound bus and ride".
- Country star Sara Evans' song Backseat of a Greyhound Bus describes a pregnant woman who escapes the confines of a small town and gives birth in a Greyhound Bus.
- On indie rock band The Hang Ups' album "So We Go", the last song is called "Greyhound Bus".
- Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" from the "Turnstiles" album released May 19, 1976.[58]

Monday, 29 October 2012 14:27IMAGINE my surprise on seeing a phone message to ring the Governor of Western Australia, His Excellency Mr Malcolm McCusker AC! I returned his call with excitement and a touch of trepidation. But it was a marvellous phone call because, to my astonishment, I learned that His Excellency and Mrs Tonya McCusker had selected me as only the second recipient of the Governor's Giving Award. I was bowled over! It is such an honour and it came totally "out of the blue" but a very nice "blue" I must say. I had been selected to choose the charity or charities that would between them receive $100,000.
Great Southern Great Science
Wednesday, 12 September 2012 14:46NATIONAL Science Week has been terrific again this year. The week was launched in Western Australia this year at Scitech by the Hon John Day MLA, WA's Minister for Science and Innovation and the federal Minister for Science, the Hon Senator Chris Evans on Friday August 10. In keeping with the imperative to ensure Science Week was as regionally inclusive as possible, I spent the day in Albany at the Great Southern Great Science symposium. In its fourth year, the symposium which is organised by the UWA's Centre for Natural Resource Management and the Great Southern Science Council, has always provided a forum for an eclectic mixture of topics related to, or researched in, the region and was widely acknowledged as the best ever.

Attractived men's underwear to people.
The big underwear endorsements the actor who is always able to attract the attention of women invited soccer star, and other top brands like CK, Armani and other endorsements. In the end to see underwear or watch others do? Regardless of the focus of the woman in which, regarded as far more than the expected results for the underwear brand publicity. Armani C Ronaldo and Megan Fox, attractive men and women portfolio, a strong challenger. Recently, CK introduced the latest pictures of the spring and summer new X-men underwear series, invited the "Twilight" star Kenan • Lutz, the U.S. drama "True Blood" black movie star Maika De Brooks and Japanese soccer star Hidetoshi Nakata, the Spanish tennis Prince Fernando Verdasco, Takeo endorsement together. Male Underwear should have what conditions? Some people say that handsome face and strong muscles enough, but advertisers always astute than we.
Necessary, underwear inadvertently emptied
Good model, but also need a good marketing tool. Former Australian swimming champion Ian Thorpe launched the underwear named after his name IanThorpe. August 19, 2004 during the Athens Olympics, Thorpe in a game before the waistband a little down a bit, the edges of the underwear revealed, the murder of photojournalist film, but also spared for their own brand advertising, really worthy of shrewd business acumen.
2 underpants an important part of the necessary fill
C • Law before the Armani underwear spokesperson David Beckham. David Beckham is the photograph of the famous advertising posters that somewhere in size is too large, the late PS suspects, more people think that this is not a PS, but when shooting stuffed some cotton underwear, a good foil Beckham masculine beauty.
Endorsement underwear abdominal muscles to be enough thick
C Luo to become Armani underwear brand ambassador, to be naked to sell body. An ad in the most recent is the sublimation of this theme: Kanji Yan C Luo, abdominal muscles, the hotel waitress deliberately C Ronaldo T-shirt possession of them, so that the Real Madrid star in the room to find that - this also told the audience, in fact, the underwear is not important, not underwear woman look.
Also not to shoot underwear ads underwear businesses find Ronaldo, Rooney or Cassano, after all, unsightly protruding stomach. Basketball "Michael" Michael Jordan filmed underwear ad 1989 the business for the time the HANES constant appropriate brand ambassador. However, the Bulls legend shot uncle type, loose underwear, not wearing underwear on the body, just in his hand, and Jordan, who also wore a lot of clothes.
Of 4. In the face of underwear ads to be sharp to kill people
Is a serious cold, which a star to shoot brilliant smile underwear posters, one to the facial expressions would be distracting, so that the eye focus does not move down, two to smile the poor will become Yin Xiao. Swedish star Freddie Ljungberg CK years of all ages, is the Nordic sportsman sharp eyes. Massey also filming of Argentina's domestic brands of underwear, but his piece underwear ads like pajamas, or children's clothing.

There are some simple things you can do to prevent costly house calls by your plumber.
- Locate the shut-off valve for your home. If a water pipe should burst, you can turn the valve off and stop the flow of water before any flooding occurs. This shut-off valve is usually found near where the water line comes into your house or basement.
- Wrap or insulate your water pipes. Pipe wrapping and electrical heating tape are available at hardware stores and home improvement stores. You should wrap pipes near outside walls, under the house, and in the attic. If you decide to use the heating tape, follow the directions carefully and be sure to leave the thermostat exposed so it can "feel" the temperature.
- Check and repair your home's caulking. Crawl space vents should be caulked and closed from Fall to Spring. You should also check caulking around all openings in walls where you have outside faucets, electrical outlets, air conditioning ducts, and, of course, doors and windows. If there is caulking where the walls are connected to the foundation, be sure you check it, too.
- Don't leave your house, apartment, or condominium during winter without some heat. Even if you're going to be gone a couple of days, be sure the thermostat is no lower than 60 degrees. Sometimes it's also wise to put antifreeze in commodes, if you can't drain them. (Use caution with anti-freeze, because it is dangerous to pets.)
- Check your water meter box lid. If the meter box lid isn't properly seated, cold air can reach the meter and the pipes.
- Consider using available heat sources for some pipes. Sometimes simply leaving a door open, such a a door under a sink or a door to a garage, will allow heat to reach vulnerable pipes. Heat lamps can also be used to help prevent freezing of pipes. Sometimes, a heat source such as a simple light bulb near the pipe is sufficient.
- Never use open flames around a frozen pipe. An open flame is always a fire hazard, and a flame could cause the water in the pipe to turn into steam and build up enough pressure to split the pipe. Sometimes ice in a pipe will melt if you warm it with a hair dryer or wrap it in hot towels.
- A word on allowing faucets to drip during sub-zero weather. Although it can prevent freezing in some cases, running water to keep pipes from freezing is wasteful. The best prevention is to insulate vulnerable pipes.
- Be a Water Watcher. Call (503) 635-0280 during business hours or (503) 635-0238 after hours, if you see water flowing from what appears to be a broken line in the street or in a yard.
For frozen or damaged pipes in your home, you must call your own plumber. Locate the shut-off valve for your home.
If a water pipe should burst, you can turn the valve off and stop the flow of water before any flooding occurs. This shut-off valve is usually found near where the water line comes into your house or basement.

Rescue Group Info...
Founded in 1998, Cat's Cradle seeks to end euthanasia of healthy adoptable cats and dogs in Shenandoah Valley through aggressive spay/neuter of owned animals and TNR (trap/neuter/release) of feral cats.
We also have a network of foster parents and an active adoption program for cats. In 2009 we opened an adoption center in Harrisonburg. We do not euthanize for space.
Please visit our website at: www.catscradleva.org for more information.
We show our cats at PetSmart in Springfield, VA on most 1st and 3rd Saturdays, at the PetSmart in Harrisonburg, VA on some Saturdays and some Sunday afternoons, and at the Petsmart in Waynesboro on Saturdays. We also show cats at our adoption center at 124 S Main St. in Harrisonburg 11-6 M-F, and 11-5 Sat and 11-4 Sunday.
Please visit our website: www.catscradleva.org for other adoption events and hours for showings or call the adoption center at 540-433-1135.
Please see our website: www.catscradleva.org for a copy of our adoption application and adoption contract. Adoption fees vary, but generally run around $135.
All our cats are spayed or neutered before adoption, and fully vetted. We have an adoption center in Harrisonburg, but we also make extensive use of foster homes until adoption.
We generally prefer indoor only homes, and our contract specifies that the cat(s) will not be de-clawed.
We have some cats that cannot be adopted into an indoor situation. For these, we seek safe barn or out-building locations.

- [Web Only Data]
C-Section Births may Represent Low DHEA and the Consequences of Low DHEA
I suggest the explanation of the findings of Huh, et al., involves dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). The fetus does not produce significant DHEA until just before birth. Prior to birth, the fetus is dependent upon maternal DHEA. I suggest a combination of maternal and fetal DHEA combine to initiate birth. If insufficient DHEA exists, then caesarean section would be necessary.
Low DHEA is connected with obesity. Therefore, it could be that the mother is low DHEA which could increase weight in the mother and the fetus. Since DHEA is known to protect against all types of infections, the finding that Firmicutes bacteria is increased in children born via caesarean section may indicate low DHEA.
Conflict of Interest:
None declared
Findings do not inform maternal request caesarean risk
As far as I can ascertain (having not yet accessed the full text), this study did not specifically examine maternal request caesareans, and in fact found that "after all factors were taken into account there was a stronger link with emergency caesarean than with pre-planned ones, although the numbers were small for this calculation."(1)
It is very concerning therefore that the authors appear to be presenting this study to the media as potential evidence to dissuade women from choosing a planned caesarean.
For example, "A mother who chooses caesarean delivery on maternal request should be aware of [these] potential health risks... including childhood obesity."(1)
And, "An association... would provide an important rationale to avoid non-medically indicated caesarean section".(2)
Hypothetical theories about the potential impact of gut bacteria remain unproven, and women choosing a caesarean are weighing up other perinatal risks such as stillbirth, asphxiation, shoulder dystocia and serious intrapartum injuries, as well as maternal risks including pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, psychological trauma and unpredictability of care.
Ideological opposition to maternal request caesarean is very unhelpful in the current debate. If the authors genuinely found a causal link with maternal request, fair enough, but if they only found a possible link with ALL caesareans, and especially emergency caesareans, then the study should not be used to criticise maternal request.
Otherwise, and despite NICE recommending last year that maternal request should be supported,(3) we have a situation where the Royal College of Midwives' education and research manager, Sue Macdonald, is quoted as saying, "This [study] highlights the need to avoid caesarean sections that are not medically needed."(1)
No, rather it highlights the problem with using irrelevant study findings to try and restrict what is an entirely legitimate birth choice for informed women planning a small family.

Noctua NH-D14Pros: - High quality construction Cons: - Not silent Other Thoughts: This enormous cooler has tamed my overclocked 965 @ 4.0 since May. Never got above 50 degrees C. during full load. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome...Pros: This feezy is the sheezy. Recommend it to any y'all gangstas out there looking for a bad mothatruckin fan. Cons: It doesn't make me sandwiches... Other Thoughts: It has been a while since I built a PC (like 6 years) and so I was a bit shocked to see that this fan was actually substantially larger than my last (didn't think it was possible). 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Large radiator, quality fans, easy installation. Also nice that it came with the heat transfer paste. Cons: Fans are three pin???? Not PWM so as to use the CPU fan header? Not as well thought out as it should have been for one of the highest cost CPU air coolers. CPU fan header is mostly blocked by radiator fins on MSI 990FXA-G80 motherboard. Cannot get access to it without disassembling system. Other Thoughts: Would not have purchased this if I had known about these issues! But it should be a good cooler nontheless. That is the bottom line. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome CoolerPros: Super efficient cooling and extremely quiet. Cons: Might not fit in your system. Other Thoughts: I took off the P12 and use it as an extra case fan and I still idle at 6°C and max out at 29°C. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great FanPros: OCed my i7-4770k to 4.4Ghz. Temps were 80C when running Prime 95. Haven't tried to pushed higher but this fans is great. I would have gotten water cooling but I fear that if it fails, it will kill my expensive system. Cons: Very big and a bit complex to install. Did you find this review helpful? |
WowPros: Keeps CPU cooled as advertised Cons: Ugly colors Other Thoughts: I'm using this with the Did you find this review helpful? |
Best CPU cooler I've ever hadPros: I have this on my i5 3670k and let me tell you this thing is fantastic! Cons: Very big, but I knew that going in. Make sure it fits in your case. Other Thoughts: I have built a lot of gaming rigs in the past and helped my friends build a few more. This is without a doubt the quietest and most effective cooler I have ever seen. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
first NoctuaPros: Keeps my 4770k at like 30C. It only has a mild overclock of 4Ghz, but it works! The cooler itself looks great in my Silverstone Raven RV03. Installation was relatively easy and straight forward. It works. I recommend this to anyone who does not want to mess with water cooling or can't afford to. The price is questionable to some, I'm sure, but all of us system builders knew the costs when we picked this hobby. Cons: I'm not a fan of the color of the fans. That beige/brown color just doesn't suit my aesthetics. I wish they came in a black housing/white blades configuration, but meh. Other Thoughts: The fans need different colors, but otherwise great cooler. It is large and has like 2-3 millimeters of clearance from the SIlverstone Raven RV03's window, but it fits. The 120mm fan hovers right above the 2 nearest memory slots. Use a low profile memory module like G. Skill's Sniper Series. Did you find this review helpful? |
Awesome coolerPros: Keeps CPU cool Cons: Not the easiest install. Not impossible just not easy. Other Thoughts: Had a phenom 2 x4 black. Runs at something like 50 db, but keeps CPU around 38c. The noise got to me so I switched. Changed out the fans to the cougar (slightly better and quieter) 120/140mm versions. Ultra quiet, I can't hear the computer running while playing video games. Best part is, I did not sacrifice cooling. Currently running at 25c. Did you find this review helpful? |
Best Air CoolerPros: Keeps CPU at low temps Cons: freaking huge but it fits in my Thermaltake Overseer RX-I Other Thoughts: I went with this instead of the Corsair H100i because this is air cooled and it fits in my case fine. Also people have told me that the H100i can sometimes leak and destroy your computer and the fans are loud. Did you find this review helpful? |

U.S. stocks manage 6th day of gains, stimulus eyed
NEW YORK – U.S. stocks notched a gain for the sixth session in a row on Friday, while the euro faltered as gloomy Chinese economic data butted up against expectations policymakers could act to shore up the world's economies.
Stock markets' recent rally has been underpinned by comments by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi two weeks ago that the central bank was "ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro," raising hopes of heavy bond buying to aid Spain and Italy.
The weakness in exports included a 16 percent drop in sales to Europe from a year ago.
"The data from China is concerning because the global economy is still the backdrop for the market. People are still very cautious because of the global growth concerns," stated Paul Brigandi, vice president of trading at Direxion Funds in New York.
Some economists stated the Chinese central bank could move as early as this weekend to ease policy.
European shares closed lower but Wall Street recovered late in the day in thin trade. The euro headed for its first weekly drop against the dollar and yen in three weeks.
"It makes sense that we had take a bit of a breather, but momentum has been strong and the fact that we have held steady despite a lack of good news is a good sign the trend will continue," stated Joe Bell, senior equity analyst at Schaeffer's Investment Research in Cincinnati.
Equities markets were kept in check as the euro zone's outlook remained in limbo.
Next week, second-quarter gross domestic product data is expected to show the euro zone economy contracted.
Hopes are high that the ECB will step in with bond buys to ease borrowing costs for Spain and Italy. But until details emerge – including the strings attached to any support – investors will be wary.
The euro struggled against the dollar as investors took a cautious stance. The currency fell 0.1 percent to $1.2290, off a one-month high of $1.2443 struck on Monday and falling to a one-week low of $1.2239.
"Despite what the ECB is saying, you are seeing risk sentiment reverse," stated Lucy Lillicrap, senior risk consultant at global payments company AFEX Markets Plc in London.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares ended down 0.1 percent, while the MSCI's world equity index eked out a gain of 0.01 percent.
"After such a rally, people are tempted to book a bit of profit. It's just healthy, investors are catching their breath," stated Isabelle Enos, deputy head of asset management at B*Capital, in Paris.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 42.76 points, or 0.32 percent, to 13,207.95. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 3.07 points, or 0.22 percent, to 1,405.87. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 2.22 points, or 0.07 percent, to 3,020.86.
In New York, shares of soccer club Manchester United were flat on their first day of trading. The stock ended at its offer price of $14.
U.S. Treasury debt prices benefited from investors looking for safety and the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose 11/32 in price to yield 1.657 percent.
Fears of a new world food crisis were heightened on Friday by a U.S. government report that showed domestic and soybean crops have been slashed even more than expected by the worst drought in half a century and will fail to replenish ultra-low stockpiles.
Corn futures briefly touched another record high but closed lower as demand was scaled back.
CBOT December corn fell 1.8 percent to $8.09-1/4 a bushel after setting an all-time high of $8.49.
Oil markets were lower after China's crude oil imports dropped in July and on weaker global oil demand forecasts by the International Energy Agency.
Brent crude settled 27 cents lower at $112.95 a barrel, while U.S. crude lost 49 cents to $92.87.

Hello there my AM friends!
Southland has been so nice to extend to me a log opportunity with Eviscerate Smolder, so first off I would like to thank dsade and his fine reps for giving me a free bottle in exchange for my honest opinion. Also another thanks to dsade for throwing in a bar of Java Lather, it smells great and I've washed with it twice already and love it! Very awesome of you.
I received my Smolder package yesterday afternoon and immediately showered and put it to use.
My starting stats: 210 pounds, 11% bodyfat estimated. I ended a recomp cycle recently at around 8-9% and have since been eating more calories in attempt to keep the gains I made. I am hoping I can use this product to put myself back under 10% (or hopefully lower!!!).
Directions state to apply a half dollar sized amount of lotion to the mid section, which I have been doing, but it has also been asked if I wouldn't mind trying it out on my inner arms pre workout. So I will be using it both ways throughout this log.
Come one, come all, to my log!!!!
Thanks again fellas.
