I've officially renamed Marrakesh as "the Magic of Morocco" as this is a place that is beyond imagination. From exploring the souk in the Medina (old city) on foot to riding through small towns in a motorcycle sidecar, Marrakesh is most certainly a place that can be enjoyed in a number of different ways. However, if you are looking for the ultimate in luxury for a weekend away, there's only one way to go and it all begins with a stay at The Royal Mansour. Here is your dream 48 hour travel checklist for planning a weekend in Marrakesh, Morocco.
Where to Stay:
There isn't a person alive that can write eloquently enough to describe the beauty or grandeur that one will discover when walking into The Royal Mansour of Marrakesh. It is rumored that staff, at this 53 riad resort, outnumber the guests ten to one, but you would never know it. Everything is simply "taken care of," without a whisper of evidence that anyone was ever there doing the deed. You can't squash a seat cushion in the morning without it being plumped up again before returning to your room in the afternoon. There are endless tunnels that run under and around the hotel that allow for housekeepers, butlers and the like to service every desire a guest may have before they even actually knew they needed it. Never before have I felt more "taken care of." There are those words again. Of course it all makes sense, if you really take time to examine the roots of this hotel. The Royal Mansour is owned by and designed by a King, for a King. And you, dear traveler, are treated as a member of the royal family when in residence. There is no debate about that. Perhaps my favourite question asked by any member of staff was, "can I do anything else that would please you?" Well, yes in fact, promise that I never have to stay anywhere else ever again as this is surely heaven on earth.
As I mentioned, I'd be a fool to think that my writing could ever truly articulate the overwhelming level of hospitality or the divine designer details present at The Royal Mansour. And so, I'll let my camera take over from here. In total, I took 2,145 pictures while in residence, capturing everything from the ornate bed to the rooftop terrace, complete with pool. I actually found myself taking pictures of everything from the door decorations to the perfectly pleated and drawn curtains in every room. There isn't a square inch of any space at The Royal Mansour that hasn't been carefully planned, decorated or manicured in a way that will reflect the best of what this country has to offer. It is, I warn you now, at times almost too much. You will find your eyes darting around you at every moment. Conversations in new locations are almost impossible as you find your gaze drifting around the rooms in awe of what Moroccan artists are capable of creating. Again, I'm trying to describe the magnificence, when it's impossible to do so. Pictures, let's move to pictures. This is The Royal Mansour of Marrakesh.
My entry into the living room and a shot of the most ornate headboard I have ever seen!
The bed from afar and the rather elaborate entrance to my en suite bathroom.
Just casually greeting you at the door to my riad.
Breakfast on my rooftop terrace.
And of course when one has a rooftop terrace to themselves, it's all about sunbathing!
The entrance to my room comes with an open air courtyard.
...Which I fully took advantage of for displaying evening attire.
And I will truly never get over how beautiful my three staircases were!
So much pink and green....
The newly opened pool.
....and gardens!
Try to find your breath again! This is the spa!
Where to Eat:
La Grande Table Marocaine, La Grande Table Francaise, Le Table, Le Jardin
Brunch at The Royal Mansour at La Table.
Food from La Jardin at The Royal Mansour.
Alright, so I have you checked into the Royal Mansour, so let's just say that your dinners should be here. If you are staying for 48 hours, that gives you two dinners and enough time to spend a few hours by the pool and enjoy lunch at Le Jardin. Let's kick off with that, shall we?
Le Jardin at The Royal Mansour is the latest addition to their four restaurants in house and is perhaps the most laid back of the collection. This experience features everything from ceviche to sushi and beyond. There are five dozen dishes on the menu that are a celebration of chef Yannick Alleno's brilliant expertise in the kitchen. Basically you can order absolutely anything and you will beg for more. I never knew my stomach could expand to eat so much, but I couldn't stop myself. Such good food is meant to be savoured and eaten in portion sizes that would comfortably fill a giant, right?
For dinner, I would say book one night in the traditional Moroccan restaurant and one night in the French restaurant in house. They sit opposite one another in the same building, yet could not have a more different look and feel. This is truly a showcase of the local flavours on offer in Marrakesh, and for first time visitors to the region it's a great introduction to the cultural influences you will find out and about the city.
If you have time, I would say you should most definitely squeeze in Sunday brunch at the property. There is nothing that compares to this experience. Ice cold champagne was served as we sat at the table and waiters insisted on carrying every plate full of food back to the table on our behalf. Sure, we were serving it up ourselves at the buffet, but could never be expected to carry our heaving plates back to our place settings on our own. In fact, I am pretty sure the lovely men servicing our tables would have preferred if we had let them do the walking to the buffets in the first place. There were several offers of "shall I bring you a selection" made at every turn. Whether you are a hotel guest, or simply a traveller coming in for a dining experience, you will feel the full weight of the royal treatment present at every turn at The Royal Mansour.
What to do:
Visit the Souk, stroll through Majorelle Garden, take a sidecar adventure
and have lunch in the desert
The Souk
No visit to Marrakesh would be complete without a visit to the Souk in the old town. My advice? Ask for a guide. Whether that's through your hotel (The Royal Mansour have the perfect man, as you would expect) or booked through a trusted local partner, I would always say a first time visit warrants a bit of assistance. While it's completely safe to shop in the souk solo, it can sometimes feel quite intimidating as shopkeepers can be very forceful when it comes to the negotiation process. If you aren't used to this, it's good to have a guide to hand that can lead and assist you in your buying. And you will want to buy, but will also need someone to show you all the best places to shop. The souk is massive and overwhelming, but it's an experience not to be missed.
Majorelle Garden, aka YSL's garden
This is another attraction that is featured in nearly every guide to Marrakesh, and with good reason. It's one of the most visited tourist attractions in Marrakesh, so again you''ll need to think ahead about times to visits, tickets, etc. Just warning you now! Also be forewarned that this might just be the selfie capital of the world. My goodness, I don't think I've ever encountered more selfie sticks in my life. Had my eye nearly removed from its socket after a most unpleasant encounter. But, you'll just need to get past it. It's worth it to see the brilliant blue buildings nestled in the sea of cacti. You'll get carried away dreaming of the walks Yves Saint Laurent would have had down these narrow paths as he dreamt up his future collections. It is simply enchanting and a must visit.
Sidecar motorbike tour of Marrakesh with Insiders Experiences
If there is only one thing you book in advance of your trip, make this it. Never in my life did I think I'd be a girl who was interested in riding in a motorbike sidecar, but I couldn't have been more wrong. This is the perfect way to discover the surrounding areas of Marrakesh. As you tear through the city and out into small villages, by way of rocky tracks, you will feel as if you have truly stepped back in time. All the while you are free to use a camera to capture the adventure, as you're merely a sidecar passenger. No responsibility there, right? You need only worry about taking it all in as it passes you by. Oh, and prepare for a special surprise with a view mid-way through your journey!
Lunch in the desert at Scarabeo Camp
Imagine lunch in the middle of the desert, just you and the open air, complete with the sweetest mint tea you've ever come into contact with. This is what you can expect at the end of your sidecar journey, or an opportunity you can book that can also simply be reached by car. It's up to you how you get there, just get there. I've never enjoyed a meal with a more stunning view. The food was magnificent, the staff were very friendly and we were met with a wide array of visitors from every part of the globe. Again, you'll feel as if you've just tripped onto a movie set. It's simple magical. A Marrakesh "must do."

The Sierra summer backpacking season is coming to a close which means I am home again and can focus on the thousands of photos taken, hundreds of miles hiked and GPS-tracked, and long list of peaks summited. I'll start with a report on a classic loop out of Mineral King featuring Timber Gap, Black Rock Pass, Little and Big Five Lakes, Lost Canyon, and Sawtooth Pass. Although it is under 30 miles long, this loop is typically done in four days or so since the elevation gain is so extreme (nearly 10k of vertical up and down). We did this hike in mid-August. Bear with me – this is a long report shoved into one blog post.
Trip Report
No matter which way you do this loop you will have a lot of climbing, but I strongly recommend going clockwise as we did. Otherwise, you'll be climbing Sawtooth Pass on Day 1 and this is possibly the sloggiest slog that ever slogged on the west side of the Sierra. It is much easier to come down (i.e. 'scree ski') the steep and sandy slope ("wheeeeeeee!!!")
I chose the four day trip to span a weekend – starting on Friday and exiting on Monday – to try and avoid as much weekend travel traffic as possible. Also, I wanted to be a day into the backcountry before the weekend crowds hit. The truth is this really wasn't that important. Most people going on trips out of Mineral King are out for more than a weekend so the permits were still all taken. We saw plenty of people throughout the trip, but not as many as the ranger led us to believe ("oh, you're spending the last night a Columbine Lake? You know there is no room to camp there? And there are also a lot of other people who will be there that night." She lied. More on this later.)
The road into Mineral King is, to put it lightly, a nightmare. From the turnoff in Three Rivers it is 25 miles to the end of the road. This 25 miles takes approximately an hour and a half to drive and if you or anyone in your vehicle is prone to motion-sickness you will suffer. This is why you won't run into many weekenders back in Mineral King – I know I wouldn't put up with driving this road for anything shorter than a four day trip.
Within a few miles of the end of the road is Silver City Resort, a small collection of cabins, a shop, and a restaurant. This is one of my favorite little small cafes in the Sierra. The pies are absolutely amazing. I particularly like the Fruit of the Forest – I believe it has apples, wild strawberries, rhubarb, and blackberries (?). Whatever it is, it is almost worth the drive just to get a piece. Don't miss stopping here for a great lunch before or after your hike (or both)!

Okay, on with the trip report.
Day 1: Trailhead to Pinto Lake Via Timber Gap
This hike begins with the climb out of Mineral King. Every hike from here starts with a climb to some pass, and Timber Gap is probably the easiest one, even though a friend of mine has nicknamed it 'Timber Gasp'. It's about a 1500 foot climb in a little under 2.5 miles so the grade is relatively easy going. The biggest thing slowing us down was the fact that it was Day 1 – we had just driven from San Jose on that twisty road, it was hot, and we were not yet acclimated to the altitude. Still, we chugged up the trail and found ourselves on the shaded Timber Gap relatively quickly.
On Timber Gap we briefly enjoyed the view towards the ridge where the High Sierra Trail runs, then we continued down the trail to lose nearly 2300 ft on the descent to Cliff Creek. This stretch was densely packed with wildflowers and was quite pretty.
Upon crossing Cliff Creek we once again climbed. From the crossing, the trail ascends around 4500 feet to Black Rock Pass. About 1700 feet into this climb is Pinto Lake, a marshy and buggy uninteresting lake. But there is a bear box and some campsites scattered nearby. After the day's drive and eight miles of hiking with over 3000 feet of climbing, we were running on fumes and chose a less-than-ideal dusty campsite to settle in for the night.
Day 2: Pinto Lake to Big Five Lakes via Black Rock Pass
Our morning started off early with Pavla scaring off a hungry deer that had discovered the delicious salty straps on the trekking poles left out in our camp. Both Pavla and Laurent suffered damage, but the deer left mine alone most likely since they were new and had not yet been soaked with the sweat of hundreds of miles of hiking.
I was a bit concerned about our departure this day since I had followed the trail the previous evening and lost it in the marshy terrain near Pinto Lake. Everything was fine though – about 300 feet of ankle-deep mud and water walking before emerging into rocky terrain again. There were a lot of wandering use trails from people looking to find the way, but sticking to the main track got us to the right place. And then the climb. 3000 feet to Black Rock Pass.
I've read reports that describe this pass as "an interminable slog", but I rather enjoyed it. It's steep, the grade isn't always the best, and it's sandy slick in some places. But the views towards Spring, Cyclamen, and Columbine Lake are breathtaking and I felt no guilt in stopping to catch my breath. In fact, I stopped more than I needed to simply to enjoy the view which got better as we climbed progressively higher and higher. I felt great upon topping out and let out a loud "woo hoo!"
The descent to Little Five is relatively straightforward, but just a warning: from the pass, it looks like the trail will go right next to the Upper lake. This is not the case – if you want to refill your water there you will have to go off-trail a bit. No big deal, as the trail does meet the water at the next lower lake. Another good thing about the lower lake: nice for a swim. And another: monster trout that make a delicious lunch.
The gentle terrain between Little and Big Five Lakes was a welcome respite from the trail over Black Rock Pass, and we eventually arrived at the upper Big Five Lakes where we settled in for the night with the mosquitoes and our fishing poles.
Day 3: Big Five Lakes to Columbine Lake
Although it was a mosquito-ey night at Big Five Lakes, we hung around in the morning for a short time while David grabbed a nice fish for breakfast. Once packed up we began the relatively easy day over to Lost Canyon and up to Columbine Lake.
First the trail descends to the lower of the Big Five Lakes – this one looks more heavily used and has a bear box for the crowds. However, on this nice Sunday we only saw a couple of other guys hiking through, but no one camped there. Past the lake, the trail climbs a bit and has some nice views of the Kaweahs and towards the Whitney crest before descending into Lost Canyon.
The hike up Lost Canyon starts off kind of dull with trees blocking the view. There is a nice creek flowing by so water is abundant, as were mosquitoes. After a couple of miles, though, the trail ascends above treeline into one of the most beautiful meadowy alpine areas I've seen in the Sierra. Although the climb is gentle and I wasn't tired, I found myself stopping frequently to enjoy and photograph the flowers, a fish-packed meandering creek, and glacially-patterned granite walls.
Upon reaching the end of the meadowy canyon, the trail begins to switchback up to Columbine Lake. As the trail crests a small pass it fades away in the sandy gravel, but is marked well by cairns as it continues around Columbine Lake.
Columbine Lake is one of my favorite lakes in the Sierra. I arrived in the early afternoon and had hours to wander around, fish, and soak in the scenery. There is no shade here so prepare to cover yourself and go through lots of sunscreen. The fishing was great – all of us pulled out more brookies than we could count.
It is true that the camping space is limited at Columbine Lake, but the ranger's warning of "no place to camp" was wrong. There are plenty places to pitch a tent, but several spaces were still partially snow covered and/or wet. There were some nice flat granite slabs for cowboy-camping, which I would have loved to do if the mosquitoes hadn't been so bad. There were a couple of other people there that night, camped on the other side of the lake's outlet – we had some nice chats with them but otherwise the lake was quiet and not busy, and there was plenty of room for the eight people or so who were camped there that night.
Day 4: Columbine Lake back to the Trailhead via Sawtooth Pass
Sawtooth Pass is only 700 feet above Columbine Lake and although there is no maintained trail the route is well marked with cairns and use trails. The climb is easy, though the last stretch of switchbacking use-trails is a bit sandy and annoying. But it's nothing like the west side of the pass, where it drops over 1300 ft to Monarch Lakes in about a mile. The terrain is sandy and it would be an incredibly unpleasant climb (to put it mildly).
On the way down, I tightened up my boots and started plunge stepping and gravel-skiing, following random use trails that aimed in the general direction of Monarch Lake. I couldn't help repeating to myself, "thank God for gaiters, thank God for gaiters." Even then, I had to stop and empty my boots twice.
Monarch Lakes wasn't impressive – it looked heavily used and the mosquitoes were the worst of the trip – so we decided not to linger and continued down to the trailhead. From Monarch Lakes to the trailhead it is back to maintained trail, and although it felt like the switchbacks would never end, we made it back to the car in good time. In fact, even with a stop at Silver City for more pie and that eternal drive out of Mineral King, we made it back home to San Jose before dark.
Final Thoughts
- Although I am glad I was finally able to hike over Timber Gap and up Cliff Creek, and I really actually enjoyed Black Rock Pass, I didn't like the Pinto Lake area and would use Glacier Pass (cross-country) to access this area in the future. This cuts off many miles of rather 'meh' terrain and quite a bit of elevation gain.
- I never want to climb up Sawtooth Pass from the west side.
- I should have done Sawtooth Peak. Class 2 from Sawtooth Pass. But it was the last day and I was outvoted.
- The fishing was really good along this whole loop, especially at Columbine Lake and Little Five Lakes. We caught an assortment of trout varieties in a wide range of sizes.

The History of Buddhism
Buddhism is a religion that is very popular and widespread in Asia, based on the teachings by the Buddha. There is a set of practices, traditions and beliefs that are all based on these teachings but they vary according to different schools of thought and different countries and regions. Buddhism is estimated to have started between the 4th and 6th centuries BCE, in India, and although it rapidly became popular all over Asia, it saw a strong decline in the Middle Ages. However, Buddhism has regained its popularity later on and it remains, to the date, one of the biggest religions/philosophies in the world, occupying the fourth place in the rank of popularity. The number of adepts, in the case of Buddhism, is estimated to be set at about 500 million people (meaning seven percent of the world population).
Some of the most important teachings ad objectives of Buddhism include being able to reach liberation from all desires and yearnings. Other important religious practices recognised by Buddhism include the belief in Dharma and Sangha, reading the teachings of the Buddha and, particularly, sticking to certain moral teachings and codes that are fundamental in Buddhism, such as ridding oneself of attachments and cravings, meditating, reciting or singing mantras and many more. Some of other key elements revolving around the teachings and objectives of Buddhism include the attainment of wisdom, kindness, compassion and love.
There are two main schools or branches of Buddhism. One of them is Theravada (popular mainly in Sri Lanka and in Southeast Asia), in which the main objective is to achieve the state of Nirvana, as to escape suffering and to obtain a rebirth. The other school is Mahayana (popular in East Asia). In this school, instead of escaping it, one should ideally achieve rebirth in order to help others.

Baltimore police have arrested a 24-year-old man in the fatal stabbing of a Cheesecake Factory employee who was leaving work early Sunday.
Police said Anthony Black, 20, was being picked up by his girlfriend at 2:18 a.m. after work when two men began hitting on his girlfriend, who was sitting in her car in the 400 block of E. Pratt St. near the Inner Harbor.
"That's my girl," Black told the men, according to Baltimore police spokesman Detective Vernon Davis.
One of the men responded by telling him to "calm down, your girl is hot-looking," according to a court charging document. An argument turned into a physical altercation, and police said one of the men, Matthew Darby of Frederick, stabbed Black multiple times in the upper body.
Paramedics took Black to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:49 a.m. Homicide detectives lodged multiple charges against Darby, including first-degree murder, first-degree assault, second-degree assault and a weapons violation, according to court records and police.
"It's an isolated incident," Davis said.
But the killing echoed in two Inner Harbor restaurants where Black worked as a waiter, toiling day and night, saving money to pay for college. Black had worked full time at Brio Tuscan Grille since the restaurant opened in early 2012. He started a second job working part time at the Cheesecake Factory last week.
Marty Atkinson, general manager of Brio Tuscan Grille, described Black as "an extremely dedicated, hard worker trying to do whatever it took to get back to school."
"Great personality. Full of life. Very charismatic with his tables. He had a lot of regulars who would come and visit him," Atkinson said.
Atkinson said Black had hoped the Cheesecake Factory would offer better part-time hours than the Taco Bell job he had held, Atkinson said. A manager at the Cheesecake Factory directed calls to a corporate spokesperson, who did not return a message Monday.
Brio employees are discussing holding a vigil later this week to remember Black.
"Employees are taking it hard, which is understandable," Atkinson said. "We are in the process of trying to get ahold of his family to offer our condolences and see what we could do."
Orze Killgo, 20, a friend of Black's, said the 20-year-old victim had been working to put himself through college to study engineering or information systems. Black grew up in Baltimore and graduated from Carver Vocational-Technical High School, Killgo said.
"He was a funny guy with absolutely no malice in his heart," said Killgo, who met Black when both worked at the Brio Tuscan Grille. "Anthony was a bright, funny guy. He was just working to save some money, and he was out on his own supporting himself."
He said Black's girlfriend often picked him up from work because parking is difficult in the Inner Harbor.
Police said Darby and his friend were intoxicated when they verbally engaged Black. Detectives believe the other man with Darby tried to defuse the situation, so he was not arrested, Davis said.
Court records show Darby has a lengthy arrest record and has been convicted of drunken driving and marijuana possession. No attorney was listed for Darby, who is being held without bail. A call to his home was not returned. A preliminary hearing is scheduled May 7.
The death was Baltimore's ninth fatal stabbing so far this year compared with a total of 17 in 2012. Homicides using knives are up 200 percent compared with the same time last year.
But overall, crimes involving knives or "edged weapons" are down 12 percent, according to most recent police statistics available. Nonfatal attacks with knives are down 13 percent.

With great connections to Wellingborough and Kettering, Northampton Audi has a designated Audi S and Audi RS product showroom, private handover bays and a new vehicle configuration area we can't wait to welcome you in to. If you're visiting us with your existing vehicle, we'll be sure that our Audi trained Technicians not only look after your car but we'll look after you too. Our Audi lounge offers complimentary WiFi and refreshments so you can keep busy, whilst we're keeping busy on your Audi. Please see below for more information on the sales and service facilities offered at Northampton Audi. We look forward to seeing you in our Centre soon.
If you head over to our Vindis Audi centre in Northampton - whether it's to check out the range of cars in the showroom or to bring your beloved Audi in for maintenance - we will make sure that your visit is in total comfort with our modern Audi lounges.
We offer a range of facilities on site to make sure that purchasing or servicing your Audi is the enjoyable experience it should be.
We also understand and appreciate how busy you are, so for those of you who would like to spend some time catching up we offer complimentary use of our office and boardroom, with access to a computer, telephone and printer facilities.
The sales experience at Northampton Audi is second to none, it has a brand new relaxing customer lounge overlooking the showroom. There is also a specific S and RS showroom showcasing the Audi Sport range, this is of course on top of the 23 car showroom with two handover bays making the collection of your Audi even more special.
When you visit Northampton Audi to have your Audi serviced you are greeted at our service drive through reception by the friendly team. Who will then introduce you to your Service Advisor to answer any questions you may have and talk you through the work that is due to be carried out on your Audi.
All vehicles that are sold by the Vindis Group are subject to an administrative / preparation fee of £90 inc VAT. For new vehicles this charge covers the cost of mechanically preparing the vehicle for delivery, the administration of new ownership documentation and final preparation for customer handover.
For used vehicles, this charge covers a full history and provenance check prior to being advertised for sale ensuring no financial risk or charge has been levied against the vehicle, that the vehicle has never been written off or stolen and final preparation for customer handover.
Vindis Group believe this level of preparation is crucial in ensuring we provide the highest level of customer satisfaction, for which the Vindis Group is renowned for.
It is my intention to have staff who feel valued, who are inspired and empowered to deliver a personal tailored experience to our customers, creating a lasting, caring relationship which isn't only maintained by a purchase. We have a fantastic innovative new Centre which offers much more to our customers. I am very excited about the concept of removing the sales out of selling and offering a unique, bespoke level of service that assists our customers to make a purchase, allows them to use our offices or conference facilities, or simply offers a warm welcome to just pop in when passing for a coffee!
Firstly, we want to thank you for purchasing your vehicle through the Vindis Group and hope that you have had an enjoyable experience so far. It should now be getting close to your handover and we hope that you are as excited about collecting your vehicle, as we are to hand it over to you!
As you know, there are several things that have to be covered prior to taking delivery and we wanted to share these with you to ensure your handover runs as smoothly as possible.
Vehicle Insurance
We appreciate that you may have been surfing the internet trying to find the best insurance quote for your vehicle and acknowledge that this can sometimes take some time. In an attempt to take the stress away from rushing this, we can offer you a complimentary 5 Day Free Insurance through Audi, allowing you plenty of time to find the right insurance for you.
To take up this offer, all you have to do is contact Audi 5 Day Free Insurance on 0345 8776236 - quoting "Northampton Audi, dealer 443". They usually provide you with an insurance quote at the same time as confirming the free insurance, but don't worry, this does not mean you have to use them for your insurance, the decision is yours.
Vehicle Taxing
If you have just purchased a brand new vehicle then we will of course ensure this vehicle is taxed prior to you taking delivery. If you have purchased an Approved Used vehicle then you have the responsibility of ensuring the vehicle is taxed prior to it being driven on a public highway. This process can be easily completed online and can be done in advance or we are happy to help you complete this during your handover.
Part exchanging a vehicle?
If you have chosen to part with your existing vehicle through us then we request you bring all the necessary documents relating to that vehicle i.e. V5 Logbook, MOT Certificate (if applicable), the handbook, service history and all of the vehicle's keys.
It is also important to advise that whilst we will have given you a price for your vehicle, this may be subject to change depending on the condition/mileage when it is handed over to us. However in absolute transparency with you, we will carry out another full appraisal of the vehicle on the day of handover and will keep you fully aware of if there are any changes in the vehicle valuation, as well as the reasons why.
Funding your New/Approved Used vehicle
To ensure the handover process runs efficiently, we require that all vehicle funds are cleared prior to collection and we have several options in place for you to ensure this:
If you choose to pay using cash, due to money laundering legislation, we only take a maximum of £500 in any one transaction so if your new vehicle costs more than this, the balance would need to be transferred via one of the other methods above.
We hope all of this information helps, but if you think of any questions that we haven't covered, then please give us a call.
Once again, thank you for your custom and we look forward to welcoming you back in the showroom on handover!

Perhaps one of the most overlooked parables of Jesus is the one about the Pharisee and the publican.
The Pharisee was living an impeccable life. Many years later, Paul the apostle told of a time when he was such a man, and of himself he could say, 'As touching the law I was blameless'.
But isn't it interesting that he counted such a life as 'dung' in the KJV, 'garbage' in the New Living Translation, and he went on, 'Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Jesus Christ.'
For me, the power of that parable is that the publican, would not even lift up his head, but cried, 'Lord, be merciful to me!' He went home justified, while the 'blameless' one didn't.
Why might that be? I think it's because the Pharisee didn't need, or could not acknowledge his need for mercy. In his eyes, God was pleased with him because he was blameless.
Isn't that what the Master had in mind when he said, 'The healthy have no need of me, they do not need a doctor. I have not come to call those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are not.'
So why, in organised religion, is there such an emphasis on the need for us to live squeaky clean lives? Well, I am not suggesting for a minute that we disregard the biblical injunctions to '...be holy, for I am holy', but I am saying that if we take pride in our righteousness, or if we think we can please God by our blamelessness, then Christ died in vain.
Richard Rohr, author and preacher, calls it 'the spirituality of imperfection.' He puts it thus: 'We grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right.'
Why is that? Because it is only by our realisation of our need of mercy that we come to know God.
There's a painting by Rembrandt called, The Return of the Prodigal.
On his knees at his father's feet, dirty clothes, dishevelled hair, one shoe missing, and yet in his father's embrace. Standing with his back to the wall, looking at the scene with indignation, is the elder brother, but which of the two was justified?
The good news of the gospel is that God does not love us because we are good. He loves us because he is good. We have turned the good news into bad news; God will love us and bless us if we are acceptable to him on the basis of our goodness. But wasn't it 'while we were yet sinners that Christ died for us'?

A long time ago, we're talking 6 years or so, I wrote this blog post talking about washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner that contained Henna. And since then, that has been my only dabble with using Henna on my hair. Having made a more conscious effort to look after my hair this year and avoid harsh, chemical dyes, I turned to the natural folk at Lush and found their Henna bricks.
Featuring the finest Persian Henna, cocoa butter and essential oils each brick costs just over £10 for 325g and includes four shades (in order of darkest to reddest) Noir for inky black, Brun for chocolate tones, Marron for chestnut tones and Rouge for a fiery red. I opted for 'Caca Marron' which translates as 'Brown-red poo' HA, though since writing this post I have also dabbled with 'Caca Rouge' which is the only brick that contains no indigo to darken the pigment.
"The henna hair dye that bathes you in an autumnal glow. Turn heads with deep auburn and rich chestnut tones. Glimmers of red bounce from tumbling tresses under the light helped along by a splash of lemon juice to lift out lighter shades. A dash of indigo herb and ground coffee deepen the colour."
How lovely ey? Red henna adds body and shine and fair trade, organic cocoa butter softens the hair, the natural dye coats each strand like a varnish to add an extra layer of protection, as well as a glossy coating and is safe for the hair allowing you to add henna as often as you'd like. The final outcome wholly depends on the colour of your hair, to begin with.
My faded colour before using Henna...
Using the Henna bricks is messy work, let me tell you! I began by breaking a few blocks off the bar and placed them (along with a little boiling water) into a heatproof glass bowl that was perched on a pan that was also filled with boiling water on the hob... Bain-Marie style! You melt the Henna bricks similar to how you melt chocolate, looking for a similar, thick but smooth consistency. Lush advise the hotter the Henna, the better which I must admit (Asperger's problems) took literally when applying the lava-like consistency to my scalp! DOH!
After applying, you must wrap your head in clingfilm, not only does this prevent even more mess, but it helps to keep the hair warm, which intensifies the redder tones. If you leave it unwrapped, your colour result is likely to be darker. I even blasted my cling-filmed head a few times with the hairdryer to keep the heat locked- in. Lush recommend leaving the dye on for 2 hours, but I did 4 and the colour continues to develop for up to 24 hours even after shampooing/ rinsing and 48 hours for the darker shades, Brun and Noir.
My hair colour after using Henna...
Autumnal shades? 100% achieved, I mean how gorgeous is that colour? My hair looks healthier, the colour richer and the tones are a gorgeous auburn shade and I couldn't be more pleased!
My only qualm with the organic Henna bricks is the way my hair is left super, super parched upon rinsing and requires a pretty heavy duty conditioner and masque to pat the moisture back in, This is something I really wasn't expecting with the added nourishing cocoa butter and coating properties that don't penetrate the hair's cortex in the way that artificial dyes do. But it hasn't deterred me, I can't wait to do it again and see what tones I can bring out next!
Interested in trying Henna to dye your hair?

Sometimes I share screen shots and clips of vim usage with others. It would be nice to expand on the part of the command line highlighted in this picture:
I would like some way to make previous key sequences visible as well, such as:
y2w jj f[ p 2d - You can see the key sequences leading up to the current one. I'll elaborate on my wish list at the bottom.
Is something like this is available as a plugin or vim script? The sheer number of scripts available on vim online makes this hard to find by keyword.
Clarification: I added the following section to show what functionality I wanted in case there were many vim plugins that dealt with this. Since it appears as if there are probably few or no plugins to do what I want, this section is largely irrelevant to the question - the question is not how to implement these features, it's whether or not, and where they have already been implemented.
Some features I would hope for (but seem improbable):
- Delimit key sequences with a non-keyboard character instead of space, and a different one for the current command, so
y2w jj f[ p 2dmight become
y2w¦jj¦f[¦p » 2d
- Replace keys that have a letter alternative with the alternative, such as the right arrow key -
^[[Cwith the equivalent
l. Edit: To clarify, the right arrow key is a valid key in vim, but has no character to represent it (a string like
<right arrow>would have to be used), in cases where the
lkey preforms the same function (most of the time) it should substitute the longer string.
- Have previous keystrokes run all the way to the beginning of the line (instead of just one or two), and just have vim's command prompt overwrite it when necessary.
- Replace some keystrokes with a more elegant alternative, for example
5hor more impressively
d%(in the appropriate situation).

Happy New Year! Best wishes in this exciting 2016 ahead!
THE Great European Carnival is a temporary amusement theme park at Hong Kong Central's Harbour Front. Simply purchase an entry ticket and spare some New Year loose-change to enjoy an afternoon or evening of exciting rides, games and food.
|Hong Kong's Great European Carnival 2015
Right next door to the also temporary Hong Kong Observation Wheel, the site itself is on one of Hong Kong Victoria Harbour's latest (and hopefully the last) piece of reclamation land which used to be the controversial Central Star Ferry Pier. It is now a clean site ready to be turned into a public park once the near by motorway constructions are completed. At the mean time, the local government has decided to allow temporary special events to be held.
