On the whole I feel like Tom and I have the balance of work/childcare roles quite balance. It's not perfect by all means but its much more flexible than most I think. I feel very fortunate both that Tom is the sort of dad that wants things like this to be more equal and also that his work have been accommodating in regards to flexible working.
I'm not sure if you remember (or if you are new to my blog I'll just recap) but when our second child Mabli was born I decided to not take any more maternity leave than the mandatory two weeks. Instead Tom applied to be able to take my maturity leave and had six months off work so that I could work. Clearly this was made A LOT easier by the fact that I work from home. I can say with certainty that if I had an office job that meant long hours away from the home there would have been no way I would be returning after only two weeks.
He's also been able to cut down his working week to four days so that I can have an extra days childcare and work three days (I have childcare covered for 8 hours a week over two days). In reality its still a massive juggle because I'm packing in 40 hours work in about 16 hours so it means that I work weekends and evenings. Often it does feel less than perfect when Tom is able to go to his office job and complete his work in relative peace whilst I'm trying to fit it into naps or take photos whilst entertaining the baby. Add to this the general house admin which as I'm home I feel like the larger share is passed on to me and I do crave a more 50/50 split of our roles. I think that largely things like the cleaning, taking kids to school, making dinner, food and cloth shopping and all the other home tasks do tend to fall on the mum and it's hard not to feel resentful sometimes when it's all getting a bit much!
That being said I bet there are loads of things Tom does that I don't really notice him doing as well so it would be interesting to fully swap roles for the day and see how we both liked it!
On 9th May, Indesit will be launching their Big Family Switch Up campaign. The campaign will be challenging families to switch roles for 7 days with one goal of becoming a family who #DoItTogether. Indesit believe when we all work together with equal responsibilities, everything is made easier for the family and the results are always better.
So what is a "Switched Up Family"? It's a family where everyone contributes to the household chores, switching roles and tasks whenever needed. Indesit believe that working together, things work out best! And Indesit "life-proof" appliances are designed to be part of your team, everyday, in your daily routine.
You can see a bit more about what the campaign is about here. The video is the first main episode in the series and you can watch the remaining episodes each week on the homepage.
Like I said I do think that Tom and I have and are working towards a more equal split in terms of things like this but it's definitely not perfect for sure. I'd love to really swap roles for the day and see how we each found our new positions! They are asking you guys if you do try to switch up your roles to share any pics using the hashtag #DoItTogether I'd love to see your pics if you do!
You can find more info here and the link to the survey carried out here.

I am loath to write a post that is instigated by something I have seen on the book of face, but I'm going to do it anyway. It illustrates one of the trends that I've been seeing floating around the edges of public opinion lately.
George Takei's facebook stream (superb btw, the man's come a long way since Sulu). It's not the best quote I've seen illustrating the concept, the general gist of which is that education is more than just preparing another batch of drones who will supply the workforce with labour. It's only floating round the edges, and I think is far from mainstream thought. I get the impression that large numbers of people would read this, agree with it and congratulate themselves for being enlightened. then when the next round of cuts comes to universities and technical institutes, when another round of debt is heaped on students, they will have forgotten the sentiment and be quietly thinking the students should stop complaining and just get on with it. I'll consider it mainstream when the next round of cuts the tertiary sector has to face gathers the same level of opposition as the recent class size debacle.
Again this harks back to the University Without Conditions piece that I've linked to several times now. Mass education started out as a means to educate the workforce so that they could work the new machines of the industrial age. The idea of education to create a citizen rather than a drone was reserved for the sons of the rich. We've come a long way from there, but over the last couple of decades, that's where higher education is heading back to.
It's nice to see the idea that education is about more than creating a work force beginning to take hold. One can only hope it continues.

{ ***NOTE: Bear in mind, that all of those who truly follow ' The Teachings Of Yahshua ' are the entirety of Spiritual Israel [ " The Wild Olive Branches " ]... while Genetic Israel consists only of: " The Ten Lost Tribes " [ living within The Wilderness Of Canaan ], and " The House Of Joseph " [ which still lives in Egypt ]. However, these passages in Hosea Chapter 2 are clearly directed to: " All Of Israel ". }
|Babylonian Soldiers on The Ishtar Gate.
Hosea Chapter 2 - The Message Of Striking - To Israel:
" Say to your bretheren, ' My People ', And to your sisters, ' Mercy Is Shown. '
Bring Charges against Your Mother [ Spiritual Babylon ], Bring Charges [ I Have Commanded That You Speak Out Against Her ]: For she [ Speaks Lies In My Name ] [ And ] is not My wife, nor am I her husband [ I Have Absolutely Nothing To Do With Her ]!
Let Her [ That Black Magic Woman ] put away Her Harlotries from her sight [ Stop Committing Adultery With Lucifer ], And Her Adulteries [ Her Mixed Pagan Messages ] from between Her Breasts [ Where My Children Are Suckled ];
Lest I Strip Her Naked [ Take Away Her Great Wealth And Splendid Pageantry ] and Expose Her [ Show What She Truly Is ], as in the day that she was born [ Leaving Her Nothing At All ], And make her like A Wilderness [ Dispersing All Of Her Followers ], And set her like A Dry Land [ Offering Them Nothing Of Value ], And slay her with Thirst [ Removing My Spirit From Within Her ].
I Will Not Have Mercy [ I Shall Not Answer The Prayer ] Upon Her Children [ Of Those Who Follow After Her ], For They Are The Children Of Harlotry [ They Do Not Know Who Their Father Truly Is ].
For Their Mother [ Spiritual Babylon ] Has Played The Harlot [ By Serving Both: Yahweh And Ba'al ]; She Who Conceived Them [ The One Who Raised Them Up ] Has Done Shamefully [ Has Treated Me With Treachery ].
For She [ Spiritual Babylon ] said, ' I will go after my lovers [ Pursuing All Of The Pagan Gods ], Who [ She Thinks ] give me My Bread and My Water [ Provide Her Sustenance ], My Wool and My Linen [ Provide Her Clothes ], My Oil and My Drink [ Provide Her: Spirit and New Understandings ]. '
Therefore [ Because Of This ], behold [ I Shall Do The Following ]:
I will Hedge Up [ Block And Impede ] your way With Thorns [ With Prickly Questions, That You Cannot Answer ], And Wall Her In [ Providing Her No Escape From The Masses ], So that She [ Spiritual Babylon ] Cannot Find Her Paths [ She Will Grope About In Ever-Growing Darkness ].
She [ Spiritual Babylon ] Will Chase Her Lovers [ Will Pursue Her Pagan Gods ], But Not Overtake Them [ For, They Do Not Exist ]; Yes, She Will Seek Them [ By Studying All Of The Numerous Other Doctrines ], But Not Find Them [ Because, They're All Lies ].
Then She [ Spiritual Babylon ] will say [ To Herself ], ' I will Go Back [ I Will Repent ] and Return To My First Husband [ Yahweh, The True Mighty One ], For Then [ When I Followed Him ] it was better for me Than Now [ Since, Now, I Have Been Stricken ]. '
For She [ Spiritual Babylon ] did not know [ Could Not, Honestly, Perceive ] That [ It Was ] I [ Who ] gave her: Grain [ Food To Eat ], New Wine [ New Spiritual Understanding ], and Oil [ The Holy Spirit ], and multiplied her Silver And Gold [ Thereby, Creating Her Own Great Wealth ] - Which They [ Those: Evil Shepherds, False Prophets, and Empty Oracles ] Prepared For Ba'al [ Used In Service To Their Sun Gods ].
Therefore [ Because Of This ], I Will Return [ I Shall Once Again Look Towards Them ] and Take Away [ Strip Them Of ] My Grain [ The Food I Have Given ] in its time [ In The Latter Days ] And My New Wine [ The Teaching Of My Spirit ] in its season [ At The Time Of The End ], And [ I Will ] take back My Wool and My Linen [ Those Spiritual Garments ], Given To Cover Her Nakedness [ My Atonement Through Grace ].
Now [ At This Prophesied Time ], I Will Uncover [ I Will Thoroughly Expose ] Her Lewdness [ Her Spiritual Abominations ] in the sight of her lovers [ With Everyone Watching ], And no one shall deliver Her [ Spiritual Babylon ] from My Hand [ When I Take This Particular Action ].
I will also cause Her Mirth [ Her Continual Worship Services ] To Cease [ Come To An Abrupt End ]: Her Feast Days [ Her Pagan Holi-Days ], Her New Moons [ Her Monthly Celebrations ], Her Sabbaths [ Her Sunday Celebrations ] - All Of Her Appointed Feasts [ Which Are All Pagan In Their Origins ].
And I Will Destroy Her Vines [ Her Daughter Churches Of Protestantism ] and Her Fig Trees [ And, The Other Religious Systems, Under Her Control ], Of which She [ Spiritual Babylon ] has said, ' These are My Rewards [ The True Power Structures ] that My Lovers [ The Kings Of The Earth ] Have Given Me [ For My Services Being Rendered ]. ' So I will make Them [ These Nations ] A Forest [ In Agreement, Together, To Destroy Her ], And The Beasts [ Their Armies ] Of The Field [ Of The Earth ] Shall Eat Them [ Destroying All Of Her Abominations From Before Me ].
I will punish Her [ Spiritual Babylon ] For The Days Of The Ba'als [ The Time That She Spent Worshiping The Sun Gods ] To Which She Burned Incense [ By Serving Them ]. She [ Spiritual Babylon ] decked herself with Earrings and Jewelry [ Magnificent Material Possessions ], And Went After Her Lovers [ Pursuing After All The Kings Of The Earth ]. Then She [ Spiritual Babylon ] forgot Me, says The Mighty One. " - Hosea 2:1-13.
See, what I mean? The Prophet Hosea has basically stated that: " All Of Our Churches Are Spiritual Babylon " - not just some of them, as many of us were so truthfully expecting! Of course, it doesn't surprise me, because I figured it out several years ago - by studying entirely different passages within The Rest Of The Scriptures. Meanwhile, of course, Hosea Chapter 2 isn't alone in proclaiming these things. There are [ honestly ] thousands of scriptural references, that reveal this ' All Too Evident Truth ' within them.
But, let's move on to The Message Of Healing, that comes afterward. After all, Both Messages To Spiritual Israel are highly-important... The Message Of Striking and The Message Of Healing: go hand in hand - just as, they were provided by Yahweh!
Hosea Chapter 2 - A Message Of Healing - For Israel:
" Therefore [ Because Of This ], Behold [ You Will See It ], I Will Allure Her [ Israel's Own Descendants Away From Babylon ], Will Bring Her Into The Wilderness [ Into An Undeveloped Place Far From The Rest Of Babylon ], And Speak Comfort To Her [ Binding Up Her Own Wounds ].
I Will Give Her [ My Daughter Of Israel ] Her Vineyards From There [ I Shall Dig About Her Roots And Bless Her In That New Land ], And The Valley Of Achor [ That New Place To Lie Down ] As A Door Of Hope [ For I Shall, Once Again, Bless Them Spiritually ]; She [ These Genetic Descendants And Spiritual Ones Of Abraham ] Shall Sing There [ Proclaiming My Blessings To The Rest Of World ], As In The Days Of Her Youth [ Before I Cast Her Aside ], As In The Day When She Came Up From Egypt [ And, I Led Them Through The Desert ].
And It Shall Be [ It Shall Come To Pass ], In That Day [ The Time Of My Harvest ], says The Mighty One, That You [ All Of Spiritual Israel ] will call Me ' My Husband [ My Dearest Beloved ] ' and no longer call Me ' My Master [ My Lord ] ',
For I will Take [ Remove ] From Her Mouth [ Those Ravenous Wolves ] The Names Of The Ba'als [ Those False Names Of Pagan Sun Gods ], And They [ These Abominations Before Me ] Shall Be Remembered By Their Names [ And Titles ] No More [ Indeed, I Shall Cleanse My Own House ].
In That Day [ When I Do This New Thing ], I Will Make A Covenant For Them [ Through The Shedding Of Much Blood ] With The Beasts Of The Field [ The Armies Of The Earth ], The Birds Of The Air [ The Air Forces Of The Sky ], And With The Creeping Things Of The Ground [ And Those Leaders Who Control Them ]. Bow And Sword Of Battle [ All The Weapons Of Warfare ] I Will Shatter From The Earth [ Destroying All Of Them In One Final Battle ] To Make Them [ My Own Branches Of Abraham ] Lie Down Safely [ Without Fear Of Any Other ].
I Will Betroth You [ All Of Israel ] To Me Forever [ Ushering In A New Era ]; Yes, I will betroth you to Me [ Fully ] In Righteousness [ With Inward Obedience ] and Justice [ And Outward Application ], In Lovingkindness [ In True Harmony With All Others ] and Mercy [ Real Compassion Based Entirely Upon Love ]; I will betroth you to Me [ Completely ] In Faithfulness [ With A Clear And Consistent Understanding ], And You [ All Of Israel ] Shall Know The Mighty One [ Even, As I Understand You ].
It Shall Come To Pass [ Just As I Have Said It ], In That Day [ The Time Of My Spiritual Betrothal ], That I Will Answer [ Fully Reveal Myself ], says The Mighty One; I Will Answer The Heavens [ And Set Things Completely Aright ], And They [ The Heavens ] Shall Answer The Earth [ By Providing Absolutely Perfect Conditions ].
The Earth Shall Answer With Grain [ Providing You Bountiful Crops ], With New Wine [ Heightened Spiritual Understanding ], And With Oil [ My Own Spirit Poured Out Lavishly Upon You ]; They Shall All Answer To Jezreel [ The One True Watchman, Over My Own Vineyard ].
Then I Will Sow Her [ The Entire House Of Israel ] For Myself In The Earth [ Building Up This New Kingdom ], And I Will Have Mercy Upon Her Who Had Not Obtained Mercy [ Because She Had Always Spurned Me ]; Then I Will Say To Those Who Were Not My People [ When They Treated Me So Treacherously ], ' You Are My People! [ Because, They Will Now Properly Obey Me ] ' And They Shall Say, ' You Are My Mighty One! [ They Will, Finally, All Know Me ] ' " - Hosea 2:14-23.
The United States of America has begun Fracturing-Apart Politically. Why? Because, Two Entirely Different Types Of People currently dwell here! There are those who are striving against ' This Culture Of Madness And Folly ' and seeking to complete The New Spiritual Growth... and there are those who [ honestly ] despise everything, that they stand for... and The Result is just as inevitable, as The Prophet Hosea has so eloquently described it! Meanwhile, most of Hosea Chapter 2 has already been completed. Isn't it time, for you now, to make your own spiritual decisions?
Hopefully, you fully understood This Message To Israel....
{ *** NOTE: Be sure and read our numerous other postings - to understand the pivotal role that The United States of America plays in: " The End Time Biblical Prophecies ". You'll definitely be surprised, by what you'll learn. }
Ahava and Shalom.
May Yahweh's: Love and Peace - be upon you!

Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) improves the health of British Columbians by seeking province-wide solutions to specialized health care needs in collaboration with BC health authorities and other partners.
Endometriosis, a condition that may affect women during their child-bearing years, occurs when a type of tissue that lines the uterus begins to grow outside of it. Although not usually dangerous, it can cause pain and other problems.
Pelvic Pain is often described as persistent or chronic if it lasts longer than 3-6 months. In many situations, when the original "injury" heals, the pain gradually decreases. However, in some cases, when the original "injury" or condition that caused the pain has healed, the pain continues because the body's alarm system has become hyper-sensitive. When this happens, many sensations that are normally pain-free, such as stretching, are painful. This process is referred to as "central sensitization". This can apply to pain anywhere in the body, including the pelvic area.
Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome can result when the pain has lasted for a long time and has become more severe than would be expected. As the woman tries to cope with the pain, she may undergo emotional and behavioural changes that may affect her relationships, mood, sleep patterns, appetite, and physical activity. In other words, chronic pelvic pain syndrome is a combination of physical symptoms, psychological symptoms, and changes in behaviour.
There are several conditions that can lead to pelvic pain, including:

Sorry I am just now getting my blogging experiment for March up. I kind of forgot it was April already…And, well…You know. Life got in the way!
For those of you just joining us, I started a little experiment to see if an average person (that's me!) could supplement income with a simple little blog. Last month, I made a whopping $0…But in March, you guys… I joined Google Adsense (for sidebar ads…sorry all you ad haters out there!) and made $9.85.
I KNOW! I am rich! Plus, I got to review cute NUK products… So, I'm a happy gal.
I know I could have done better last month, had I posted more. The problem is–I'm average, remember? I get distracted and caught up on the fact that most my life isn't very blog friendly (unless you count staying in pajamas all day and not showering blog friendly!)…But, I am determined to try harder in April. In fact…I've already signed up with a few media companies and am feeling hopeful.
I'll keep you updated!
Anyone have any great tips for me as I jump in head first to April blogging?

Doug Elsley, UK MDOP Lead at Microsoft has written a guest post looking into MED-V which is part of MDOP (Microsoft Desktop Optimisation pack):
At customer meetings when we are discussing Windows 7 options and upgrade plans, the conversation often opens up to application compatibility and application migration plans from one operating system to another. Customers raise the fact that IT is required to map and test all of its line of business applications on the new operating system and this is a probable barrier to an effective adoption.
Microsoft and 3rd party vendors offer a variety of tools, reporting and methods to address XP applications issues that are either not working properly on Windows Vista / Windows 7 or that require some simple changes to get them to work. Even after this work you still may find a subset of applications that are not yet officially supported on the new operating system or that may not even work at all, despite all efforts causing some of our customers to plan their Windows 7 migration over time to allow them to detect and remediate these issues before they roll out en masse.
In 2008 Microsoft made an acquisition of a company called Kidaro, from this acquisition evolved the product Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualisation (MED-V). MED-V removed the potential barriers to Windows 7 upgrades by resolving application incompatibility and ensured those incompatible applications ran in the environment they were designed and architected for. It also allowed the ability for IT departments to run different versions of Internet Explorer such as IE6 and IE8 on the same machine in a licensed and supported solution.
MED-V is one of a number of powerful tools for IT Professional in the Microsoft Desktop Optimisation Pack (MDOP) and delivers applications in a Virtual PC that runs Windows XP, this enables users to seamlessly start the legacy applications right from the Windows 7 Start Menu, applications appear and operate as if they were installed on the new desktop and appear side-by-side with native applications with very minimal change to the user experience providing greatly simplified migrations and business as usual functionality of legacy critical apps.
With the recent (10th March) MDOP 2011 release including MED-V 2.0 and an update for App-V to 4.6 SP1, the new MED-V 2.0 version will now allow legacy applications to share seamless access to users' documents and network-available printers, and even USB devices such as flash storage or Smartcard readers. MED-V 2.0 also removes the separate server infrastructure requirements present in MED-V 1.0 and 1.1, and now integrates with existing management and deployment systems, such as System Center Configuration Manager, for easy, scalable, enterprise deployment.

Dems protect backroom deals
The health care bill is in trouble, but a series of narrow deals — each designed to win over a wavering senator or key interest group — is alive and well, despite voter anger over the parochial horse-trading that marked the rush toward passage before Christmas.
With the exception of Nebraska Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson's "Cornhusker Kickback," which alienated independent voters and came to symbolize an out-of-touch Washington, none of the other narrow provisions that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid inserted into the bill appear to be in any kind of danger as Democrats try to figure out the way ahead.
Story Continued Below
Not only that, House liberals want to reopen the labor deal struck just days before Democrats lost their 60-vote majority — not to dial it back but to provide more generous protections from the tax on Cadillac insurance plans.
"For those of us who, in principle, are opposed to it, this gives us another chance to push for our basic principle," said Rep. Sander Levin, a Michigan Democrat with strong ties to organized labor who sits on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. "It remains unsatisfactory."
The flurry of last-minute deals helped sour Americans on the entire process, and the Massachusetts Senate election altered the trajectory of reform.
But Washington being Washington, none of that has cooled the appetite of senators and House members to tailor the bill to their specific needs — even though some Democrats worry that it could help destroy any chances of resurrecting reform, if lawmakers seem oblivious to voters' concerns.
Nelson sacrificed his agreement with Reid to have the federal government forever pick up Nebraska's share of a proposed Medicaid expansion, bowing to critics that included some in the Senate Democratic Caucus. Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has singled it out, saying her members will not consider the bill unless the Nebraska deal is removed.
But there is no visible movement to erase a Medicaid deal with Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) that she has said is worth $300 million, three times the amount of Nelson's agreement.
Or to strike a line item that exempts Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan from a 40 percent tax on insurers that provide expensive health plans. Or to remove a provision that sends an extra $500 million in Medicaid funding to Massachusetts and $600 million to Vermont for being leaders in providing health insurance to their residents.
"It is very clear from the process that took place in the final days of the bill that Americans are disturbed about the process," said Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). "I believe it would be important for us to take out the egregious items."
Does that mean he might forfeit the money for Massachusetts?

A Whole Foods on one end, a Chipotle on the other. But a strip mall (albeit high-end) this is not. Because right smack in the center is, as they say, where the magic happens.
I'm talking about the Flower Hill Promenade, the open-air shopping center just off Interstate 5 in Del Mar, which, if we're being honest here, looks completely unremarkable from the outside. I mean, yes, it's nice. You might stop for a burrito or to pick up a few groceries. You might run to a doctor's appointment at Sharp Rees-Stealy. Or maybe you're not craving a burrito, not sick or injured and you shop at Vons, not Whole Foods. Whatever. Here's why you'd want to stop and take a closer look:
Sam Larson's Lone Flag is a men's and women's lifestyle store offering American- and locally made boots, denim and more. Its No. 1 brand is Rogue Territory, aka the denim gods, and Lone Flag is the only store in San Diego selling Rogue's stuff right now. Try some of the best coffee being made locally by the Poway-based James Coffee Co. Bag your old murse and pick up something amazing from Boutonne, the San Diego-based maker of totes, wallets and dopp kits. Or up your socks game with the pattern-obsessed Richer Poorer. In other words, you could do a lot of damage here.
Julie Ellis' Rais Case recycles and upcycles leather and other fabrics for pillows and purses, keychains and koozies. With a focus on American-made goods (see a trend here?), Rais Case cuts and sews all of its products and sources its materials as close to home as possible. Its latest design is a tote that can go from diaper bag to travel bag to whatever you need it to be. And, if you thought fanny packs were reserved for out-of-towners, then you haven't seen Ellis' take on the travel accessory everyone loves to hate (or the other way around?).
Ellis shares her space with Shem Gott's Mr. B's Luminaries, a candle shop born from what Gott saw as a waste of his son's baby-food jars. Each candle is hand-poured and made from all-natural soy wax. I was especially delighted to see a lemongrass scent, since that one's a lot harder to find than I thought.
Kim Efseaff's Bon Bijoux, whose handmade jewelry—some of which is made with Swarovski stones—beats the chain stores' bling selection any day of the week.
And there are more. Together, the shops call themselves the Row Collective. With the exception of Bon Bijoux (a mainstay since 2009), they've been at Flower Hill for just a year, since it underwent a $30-million renovation in March 2013.
"The main reason we set up shop here was because there really wasn't any other 'good' retail row in North County," Lone Flag's Larson says. "At a certain level, it's almost impossible to find a location that fits up here, so we thought we'd just create that fit and culture instead of trying to find it somewhere already. It's not a perfect fit for Del Mar, either, but that's really the closest thing we could find. Now... it really is the best little retail / art secret in San Diego."
Others, like Ellis, say the renovation and the vision proposed by developer Jeffrey Essakow was what reeled them into the space. And then there's Efseaff, the jewelry maven, who weathered the renovation last year with just a slight disruption to her business. She says she's happy to be joined by more and more artisan shops. In the next few months, Flower Hill will welcome Studio Penny Lane, which has a neat concept that integrates pennies into all of its jewelry and leather goods, and A Ship in the Woods, the nonprofit you may have heard about that transformed a mid-century house into an artists' safe haven back in 2010.
Still, these small retailers aren't getting the foot traffic they deserve—it was fairly quiet on a recent weekend day—because you just don't expect a shopping center like this to have what Flower Hill now has. Hopefully, that will change with time, as more shops are added and more people find themselves looking for artisan products. Then, it won't matter that the promenade looks like every other strip mall in affluent America. You'll know it's the inside that really matters.

"Affinity and Passion" is part of The Greatest Copywriter: Instruction and Inspiration from His Maximum Persuasion and Matchless Profit" (book is scheduled for publication at the latter part of 2017).
Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, "I believed, and so I spoke," we also believe, and so we also speak.
2 Corinthians 4:13
The best copywriting is done when there's real passion and a definite affinity for the product or service. It will shine forth throughout your copy. Instead of it being boring and a burden, it's a joy and delight. Unless you genuinely believe in it, you won't be able to passionately communicate it.
- Select copywriters who have passion and an affinity for your product or service
- Be honest with yourself and your client if you believe you're not the right person
- Select a niche you love
- The best copywriting isn't only about words and structure, but also about strong feelings
Imagine a preacher who doesn't believe what he's preaching. It won't take long until the congregation realizes it and moves on, either replacing the preacher or going to another church. Throughout the Bible, God's displays an infinite passion for what He stands and doesn't stand for. There's not the slightest question about how He thinks and feels about the issues of life, death, and eternity.
Furthermore, He used prophets and apostles who also had a strong passion for what He stood for. Their writings (and the lives!) abundantly testify of that. Today's verse states that there was no speaking (or writing) unless they had "the same spirit of faith"—unless they deeply believed in what they spoke or wrote.
Would God have employed someone who didn't genuinely believe His message? Of all the forty or so writers of the Bible, there's no one who didn't have an undying passion. Actually, some gave their lives for what they held dear. You cannot truly communicate with passion unless there is passion. Will a sportsman perform at his best if he doesn't have a strong passion?

|Those are perm rods on my ends
Every time I attempt a twist out, I start out with the best of intentions. I'm going to take my time, do each twist carefully, make equal sized twists, etc. However, when my arms start aching and my fingers start cramping my mind set quickly changes, I forget about my initial goals and it's like: hurry up and get this over with! lol. My flat twisting skills need work, but even with my shady twists I like the end results.
Check out my results:
Current Hair Stats: It's been 10 weeks since my last relaxer.
How to: I twisted on damp hair. I used Paul Mitchell The Conditioner(gvp) and Organic Root Stimulator Wrap Mousse as I detangled each section of hair and twisted it. Went to bed. In the morning I sprayed Sebastian Shaper Hair spray. Then I put Hollywood Beauty Caster Oil on my fingers as I carefully removed the twists.
How Long: This can last 4 to 5 days, but I usually have to be creative and do an updo with it on the last couple of days.

Game of the Week
Salt and Sanctuary
Salt and Sanctuary is one of my favorite indie games and the Alternation game of the week.
The game is basically the love child of Dark Souls and Castlevania with a familiar level design to most Metroidvania games. Anyone familiar with the "Soulsborne" games will notice the similarities in gameplay to the modern classics developed by FROM software.
Salt and Sanctuary was developed by Ska Studios which consists of 2 members, James and Michelle Silva, a husband and wife team. They did everything from programming and art design to story and music. And all of it fits together so perfectly. The subtle soundtrack along with the sound effects perfectly compliments the washed out artwork to give you a feeling of bleakness you have to experience to understand. The entire game has such a high level of polish that it's hard to believe such a small team could make something so artistically beautiful and also so much fun to play. The controls are completely responsive and when you die you'll never feel the game was unfair in any way but rather that you just made a mistake in your approach. The game is available on both the PS4 and Steam with a port to the PS Vita coming soon. You can learn more about the game here.
About Alternation
Thealternation.net is going through changes. Originally it was a community blog for a Call of Duty server and eventually to support YouTubers before moving on to video game reviews. Due to an unforeseen hosting issue, I finally got the motivation to reconfigure the site. For now I will be promoting a game of the week while this transition takes place.

5 Myths About Exercise
by Amanda Link
As we age, we tend to not feel the need to exercise. We think what is the point? It's not like it will help me get any younger. We make up these myths and excuses to prevent us from exercising. But the truth is, exercising as we age is important. Exercising as a senior can improve your quality of life and increase your independence. Here are 5 myths about exercising.
Myth #1: I've never exercised before and I'm too old to start exercising now.
Fact: You are never too old to start exercising. Exercising and Strength Training can help you feel younger and stay active longer. In fact, it can help lower the chances of heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, etc. Starting a regular exercise routine can be tough, but as time goes on it gets easier and you are able to push yourself to do more.
Myth #2: Exercising as a senior is too rigorous; I should save my strength and rest.
Fact: Being inactive as a senior can cause more health problems rather than prevent them. Inactivity for seniors causes them to loose their independence. Oftentimes, it can result in an increase in doctor's visits, illnesses, and more medicine.
Myth #3: Exercising increases the risk of injury; especially falling.
Fact: Balance exercises are some of the best exercises a senior can do. They help a senior to become more coordinated and less likely to fall. Regular exercise, by building strength and stamina, prevents loss of bone mass and improves balance, actually reducing your risk of falling. As long as any exercise is done properly, seniors should not worry about being injured.
Myth #4: I'm disabled. I cannot exercise sitting down.
Fact: Chair-bound people face special challenges, but it is important that you lift lightweights, stretch, and do chair aerobics to increase your range of motion and promote cardiovascular health.
Myth #5: Exercising as a senior can increase the pain of Arthritis.
Fact: While many people who experience arthritis are convinced that putting their joints through the paces will only result in making matters worse; however, the facts tell us something different. Individuals with arthritis who get regular exercise actually feel less joint pain than those who don't exercise.

THE Archbishop of Glasgow has said politicians will redefine "natural law" if they legalise gay marriage.
Mario Conti delivered the strongly worded sermon today at St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh.
He said changes in the law were designed to "recreate society" and that any legislation to allow same-sex marriage will have negative consequences.
• Read the full text of Conti's sermon
Archbishop Conti said: "Those voices are growing ever louder in our country, that attempted marginalisation is becoming ever more acute and we are witnessing the transformation of tolerance into a kind of tyranny in which religious views are the only ones which seem unworthy of respect and acceptance.
"Governments which fail to take into account the wisdom that is handed down generation to generation in communities of faith or fail to underscore the right and duty of following informed conscience on the part of citizens will, it seems, inevitably find themselves attempting to be wise by creating ever more legislation and requiring judges to interpret it according to the mores of the day."
The mass was marking the seventh anniversary of the election of Pope Benedict XVI, and was celebrated in front of representatives of Scottish civil and political life and the Papal Ambassador to Britain.
The Archbishop added that politicians "seem ready to redefine marriage without any reference to children, or to the natural law written on the heart of mankind, putting the claim of 'equality and diversity' on a higher level than faith and reason, and ultimately asserting the moral equivalence between marriage and same-sex unions".
He said: "Our society will descend further into ethical confusion and moral disintegration the more that those in Government and the judiciary slip society's moorings from the capstans of virtue."
The Scottish Government has staged a consultation on whether the law should be changed and has previously said it "tends towards the view" that same-sex marriage should be introduced, but faith groups and their celebrants should not be obliged to solemnise the ceremonies.
The consultation closed in December and is due to be published in the spring.
More than 1,000 campaigners for same-sex marriage marched to Holyrood last month to urge a change in the law.
The demonstration, which began on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, featured a giant Valentine's Day card to First Minister Alex Salmond.
It contained the message: "Roses are white, thistles are blue, we believe in equal marriage and we hope the Scottish Government will too!"
The event saw supporters from across Scotland, including the Equality Network, NUS Scotland, LGBT Youth Scotland and Stonewall Scotland, join Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs) as part of its Love Equally Campaign.
At the moment, same-sex couples can enter into a civil partnership but cannot get married.

NHL hands out 7 postseason awards
Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews got another victory on Friday. The trophy he wants the most is still up for grabs.
Toews won the Frank J. Selke award, given to the NHL's best defensive forward. He emerged from a trio of finalists that included fellow centers Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins and Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings.
Toews helped the Blackhawks advance past Datsyuk and the Red Wings in the second round of the playoffs. He is currently competing against Bergeron and the Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals.
The Blackhawks lead the series 1-0, with Game 2 scheduled for Saturday night in Chicago.
"To be able to go head to head with guys like that in the playoffs, and to know them from the past, you understand how much they mean to their teams and how much they contribute offensively and defensively," Toews said. "To be talked about in the same sentence and compared to those guys is absolutely amazing. So it's a special award to win."
The 25-year-old Toews was third in the NHL with a plus-28 rating in 47 games in the regular season, helping Chicago post the most points in the NHL. He also was a finalist for the Selke after the 2010-11 season.
Bergeron, who won the Selke Trophy last year, earned a different honor this season. He was awarded the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for leadership and humanitarian contributions to the community.
Also Friday, Paul MacLean of the Ottawa Senators won the Jack Adams Award, given to the NHL's coach of the year. The top executive honor went to Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Ray Shero. The Lady Byng trophy for the NHL's most sportsmanlike player was given to Tampa Bay Lightning forward Martin St. Louis for the third time in four seasons.
"I don't think you start the season thinking you're going to win the Lady Byng, but all in all, you just try to push the envelope without getting caught, I guess," St. Louis said. "You play hard and stay out of the box, but at the same time by no means you're going through the season trying to accomplish that."
MacLean, a finalist for the second straight year, led Ottawa to the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference while overcoming the prolonged absences of several key players. Chicago's Joel Quenneville and Bruce Boudreau of the Anaheim Ducks also were up for the award.
"It was a very proud day for myself, my family and the Ottawa Senators organization and what we've gone through. We're pretty pleased here today," MacLean said.
One of MacLean's players, forward Daniel Alfredsson, was the winner of the Mark Messier Leadership Award, and Detroit forward Henrik Zetterberg was honored with the NHL Foundation Player Award for community service.
Minnesota Wild goalie Josh Harding won the NHL's Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. The award is presented to "the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey."
Harding was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last fall and missed 33 games as he underwent treatment. On April 22, he was activated from the injured list and returned to the Wild lineup.
"I feel better than ever," Harding said. "I just won an NHL award. It's something that I never thought I'd do in my life ever, and it happened with MS.
"I played five playoff games. I didn't know if I'd ever play a playoff game, and that came with MS. I want people to believe that goals are possible. Just because you get a label of a disease doesn't mean you're not going to complete your goals. That's what I hope people take out of this."
Harding faced the condition head on, and never considered giving up his hockey career.
"There were some ups and downs," he said Friday. "Some days it would have been easy to throw in the towel. . But I've been playing hockey since I was 4. I'm not going to let something come in the way.
"For everybody that would be in my situation, I think you'd find a way to make it work."

The IMF numbers show China on track to produce $17.6 trillion worth of goods and services compared to the U.S.'s slated $17.4 trillion, based on a well-established and widely used economic measure known as purchasing-power parity (or PPP).
Meanwhile, in Lima, Peru, China offered new details on its commitment to rein in greenhouse gases and called on rich nations to speed up delivery of the $100 billion in annual climate-related aid they've promised by 2020. Su Wei, China's lead climate negotiator, coupled his comments on China's commitment with a call to accelerate funding for climate aid, shifting the pressure to industrialized nations, led by the U.S. and European Union, to do their part toward reaching an agreement next year. The "$10 billion is just one 10th of that objective," and "we do not have any clear road map of meeting that target for 2020," Su said. Climate aid is "a trust-building process," he added.( –Alex Morales and Reed Landberg, Bloomberg, 5 December 2014)
Rich nations' pledges of almost $10 billion to a green fund to help poor nations cope with global warming are "far from adequate," particularly Australia's lack of a donation, the head of China's delegation at U.N. climate talks said on Thursday. Su Wei also urged all rich nations to deepen their planned cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, signaling that a joint Chinese-U.S. announcement of greenhouse gas curbs last month does not mean an end to deep differences on climate policy. (–Reuters, 5 December 2014)
Granted, rich nations produce more CO2 than poor nations, so how does China stack up in CO2 emissions?
Here are the stats for 2013:
China 10 GT of CO2 28% of world total
India 2.5 7%
Russia 2 5%
Rest of world 13 GT 46% of world total.
By this account China is already a rich country and should be the first to share.
But it is getting worse.
Barack Obama and the Chinese negotiator agreed on a deal that U.S. would reduce its greenhouse gases by 24 to 28% by the year 2025 and China promised to try to halt its scheduled growth by the year 2030. E.U. have legislated similar reductions as the U.S.
So by 2030 we can look forward to a world CO2 emission balance like this:
China 30 GT of CO2, 45% of world total
India 7.5 11%
Russia 2 3%
Rest of world 18 28 % of world total.
This is what Barack Obama heralded as a major breakthrough!
He will allow China to become six times as powerful as the U.S.A in the next 15 years.
And we will help them by being part in transferring 100 Billion to developing countries (of which China is one) in the next 10 years.
If you doubt the numbers, consider this: China already consumes 45% of the world's coal mining, mostly low grade, polluting lignite. The air quality in Beijing is so poor that a day that is merely unhealthy by our standards is considered a good day.
The climate conference in Lima, Peru, RIP.
[Update 1] Check out this memo from the White House!
Message: White House warning of extreme weather, Nov 19, 2014.
From: firstname.lastname@example.com

Subject: Make sure your community is ready for climate change
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 11:51:17 -0600
The White House
Make sure your community is ready for climate change
Climate change is happening now — and we've got to be ready because we're going to see more extreme weather.
That's why we're taking action. Last Tuesday, the President made a historic announcement with China that sets new targets for carbon pollution reductions.
And on Monday, the Administration released the Climate Resilience Toolkit to help our communities respond to our changing climate.
Check out these easy-to-use tools, including interactive maps and visualizations, that will help prepare your community for the impacts of climate change. See how you can help your community or business get ready.
Whether you're a small business owner, planner, farmer, policy leader, or an interested resident, these tools can help you make sure that you have a climate-ready community or business.
Have questions about what climate change means for you, why it matters, and what we can do to fight it? Last Thursday, Dr. John P. Holdren, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, announced that he wants to answer your questions.
Ask Dr. Holdren your questions on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Vine with the hashtag #AskDrH — and he'll answer some of them on camera.

The White House • 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW • Washington, DC 20500 •
People through the ages have always complained about two things. Life isn't fair, and the weather. Obama has promised to fix both.
[Update 2] On the other hand:
China has rejected the scrutiny of efforts to limit carbon emissions, a key tool that the US says is necessary as more than 190 countries work to come up with a new deal to fight climate change. Chinese negotiators sought to delete provisions in a draft text that would have paved the way for other countries and non-governmental organizations to submit questions about its carbon-reduction plans, according to environmental groups that are official observers to the talks. –South China Morning Post, 8 December 2014
Obviously, China is not satisfied being only six times more powerful than the U.S. by the year 2030.

First of all who doesn't LOVE Gwen Stefani?! The fact that she teamed up with Urban Decay is BANANAS B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Lol Oh how I crack myself up but seriously this palette is beautiful and the packaging is kinda sexy which means it won't last long.

When Kat Von D first came out with her line I said people didn't give her enough credit. I'm glad to see that has all changed. I absolutely love her makeup. This contour palette is just what every girl needs to get that amazingly sculpted face.
Everyone is going mad over liquid lipsticks and with so many companies coming out with new ones everyday it can be hard to choose which to buy.

Morphe Brushes Makeup Brushes $7.99-22.99
You can have all the makeup in the world but you won't get too far without makeup brushes. I started using brushes from Morphe a few months back and I really do like them. They're good quality and affordable! I think the Gunmetal brushes are really sleek and would look good in anyone's makeup kit.
I'm sure I could go on forever with gifts for my makeup loving ladies out there but these are the best of the best in my opinion. If you think I forgot anything let me know in the comments below! Don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY and I'll be back tomorrow with day 4!

To Do and Not To Do
Well, another New Year's Eve come and gone. I honestly have no idea how anyone lives up to the pressure to have so much Fun! Fun! Fun!, seeing as it's a close second to Valentine's Day for Most Overrated Night of the Year. But, rather than relive fiascos of New Year's Eves past (fights, tears, hours spent waiting for cabs, bad champagne, itchy sparkle sweaters, etc.), I think we'd all be better off with a few lists:
Five Things I Shall Do in 2007
1. Eat strawberries straight off the vine (something I just had an uncontrollable craving for due to the fact that I'm drinking a raspberry-apple Vitamin Water, which is somewhat reminiscent of a melted strawberry smoothie).
2. Go on a trip that does not involve taking Lake Shore Drive South to I-55; then 90/94 to Indiana; then the Indiana Toll Road to I-65 South; remaining on I-65 South through Indianapolis and stopping at O'Charley's for a chicken salad; counting down the last 100 miles; and taking I-71 to the Zorn Avenue exit in Louisville.
3. Wear colors other than black.
4. Pay off my Bloomingdale's and other similar charge accounts and shred the cards into a million little pieces.
5. Somehow, some way, get tickets to Oprah.
Five Things I Shall Not Do in 2007
1. Stare at various illuminated screens for more than half of a 16-hour day.
2. Forget people's names immediately upon meeting them.
3. Live under the assumption that people who have met me more than three times do not know my name.
4. Answer 4AM calls from notorious drunk dialers, especially on weeknights.
5. Become addicted to an array of new and incredibly tempting MTV programming, including shows with such titles as "I'm From Rolling Stone" and "Maui Fever."
Five Things I'm Not Desperate to Do Ever Again
1. Eat at Steak & Shake.
2. Forget there's a large but hidden hole in the floorboard of my car; take car through the automatic carwash with the "undercarriage spray" option; spend the next two days waiting for the bubbles to recede.
3. Be startled awake and momentarily placed under the impression that the city is under siege when my upstairs neighbor drops what are probably 50-lb. blocks of steel onto the floor directly above my head at 3:23AM.
4. Pay $75 for a single bag of groceries at Whole Foods.
5. Stand on my bed, frantically trying to hold the vacuum close enough to the ceiling so that it sucks up a swift-moving, 8-billion-legged centipede before the insect can fall on me in the dark and take refuge in my hair.

Vegan White Chocolate Red Velvet Cake Pops
Hello & Happy Wednesday!
While I'm not a chocolate person, I love red velvet anything. For the longest time (prob 27 years) I honestly had no idea that red velvet was actually comprised of coco. Mind blown.
If you're from the South like myself, you already know that red velvet is ubiquitous, and almost iconic in the food culture and will forever remain a staple.
Needless to say, with my love for all things red velvet, white chocolate, and effortless eats, ..I instantly wanted to explore a vegan red velvet cake pop!
From a distance the idea of a cake pop sounds involved, annoying, and a big mess. The truth is, it's actually everything but that. The device is cheap, works like a charm, and makes the cook time 2x faster than a conventional oven. Although this isn't a promotion for a cake pop maker, I highly recommend trying one!
What I love about this recipe is.. everything. It's quick, easy, colorful, flavorful, uses beets for the gorgeous red hue, the majority of the sugar is derived from the white chocolate with minimal in the cake (you can also just use stevia!), uses natural sprinkles, makes for the perfect gift, party favor, or entertaining bite, and makes you appear as though you're the iron chef of baking!
If you need one more reason to buy a cake pop maker..
This recipe for vegan White Chocolate Red Velvet Cake Pops is it!
Why this recipe rocks:
Minimal ingredients
Great for entertaining
Non vegan approved
Makes for the perfect gift
Cuts baking time in half

- Bake cupcakes for 3-5 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean. Place on cooling rack and cool completely. Inset cake pop stick into each once cooled.

Due to getting a new computer, I decided to check out how the VR version of IL-2: Battle of Stalingrad runs on the new machine. It runs well. More specifically, though, it's just so cool sitting in one of those WW2 crates looking at the detailed cockpit - and it's cool to get a sense of how tight they were and how little space they left for the pilot. Also cool: outside VR (and without some sort of headtracking) I found it almost impossible to stay on the runway when trying to take off; due to torque (I think), the planes drift so much, and most planes' noses are so high that you simply don't see the runway in front of you. However, if you can just turn your head and look to the side, you get much more of a sense of how much the plane is drifting, which in turn makes it easier to stay on track.
I don't think I'll ever be particularly good at IL2: BoS, and most likely I won't play it all that much, but it does feel great just to take off, fly and (crash-)land every now and then.

I love where I live. Not very many people can say they have a beach in their backyard! I went on my first run off a treadmill today, and it felt great! I started out at The Cliff House and ran all the way to the San Francisco Zoo. I was able complete over 5 miles with minimal walk breaks.

About the Book
Quilts and Human Rights
offers a new understanding of the history of global human rights as seen through textiles of awareness and activism. Of all the textile forms linked to human rights activities, one form—the quilt—has proved an especially potent and popular form for individuals, working alone or as part of organized groups, to subversively or overtly act for human rights. Through a description of this activity over time and space,
Quilts and Human Rights
advances awareness of critical human rights issues: suffrage, race relations, civil wars, natural disasters, HIV/AIDs, and ethnic, sexual, and gender discrimination.
Quilts and Human Rights
pays tribute to the individuals who have used needle skills to prick the conscience and encourage action against human rights violations.

ARLIS/NA Reviews

Journal of Folklore Research
"This moving and important book chronicles the work of countless quilt artists who have used their talent and passion to address an array of human rights issues.

Telling these stories in cloth is a powerful and effective means of expression to spotlight critical human rights issues."—Diane Rusin Doran,
Machine Quilting
"This well-researched and important book sheds new light on the work of thousands of quilt artists who have used needle, thread, and cloth for advocacy, education, and reflection on human rights."—Rev. Canon Mpho Tutu, executive director of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Foundation

Welcome to our website...
Refer to 'Our Blog'- where recent arrivals i.e: New and Secondary Market titles are now listed
Follow our monthly ads in British Railways Illustrated and Bylines
Updated 01/12/19
For details of the Guildford 'O' Gauge Trade Show in Reading on Sat 7 Dec refer to 'Our Blog'
Railroad Trading /75D Railway Books specialise in current and out-of-print books mainly about railways plus DVDs mainly covering the steam /diesel transition period-to-date in both the US and UK.
Our business commenced in 1999 after (thankfully) managing to escape from the every- day grind. The initial reaction was to do something 'constructive' and started by going through all the railway books in the collection which included several titles on the same subject. The decision was then made to keep the best and sell the rest and after booking a stand at a local exhibition and selling most of them, we have not looked back.
At that point in time, thought was given to leasing retail premises. However, in an area where (metaphorically speaking) even at 1999 prices a dog kennel would have cost circa £90K that idea was soon discounted.
Subsequently, the decision was made to concentrate on exhibition work, mail order and internet sales which continues to this day.
Railroad Trading
The name under which we specialise mainly in North American Railway books, magazines and DVDs including an ever-changing selection of Steam Powered Video merchandise.
75D Railway Books
The name under which we specialise mainly in new and out-of-print books about British railways and to a lesser extent, other forms of transport. 75D was the shed code for Horsham in steam days
General information
We offer a mail order service and welcome enquiries by 'phone, post or e-mail. Mastercard and Visa are accepted. Alternatively, why not visit our stand at any of the exhibitions attended- mainly throughout the South East.
We normally work within an area eastwards from (say) Dover/ Folkestone, westwards to the Sussex / Hampshire border and northwards as far as Reading in order to keep costs under control. The only exception being the NEC each November but that is kept under constant review.
At each exhibition there are normally a selection of books on special offer which are clearly marked 'Exhibition Price Only' and it must be emphasised that these particular prices only apply at exhibitions.
For a comprehensive list of exhibitions nationwide it is recommended that one visits: www.ukmodelshops.co.uk
Our home is a thriving market town with, at the last count, at least 25 coffee houses (or businesses providing the facility) and over 27 restaurants and the number is ever- increasing. In both 2006 and 2012 Horsham was listed as one of the top 6 places to live in the UK. For details visit:: www.visithorsham.co.uk
At Easter time, one cannot afford to miss the popular Italian weekend billed as Piazza Italia which is a two day car fest with countless supercars ie. Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis. McClarens, plus 'Italian Job' minis i.e. Classic Minis and the BMW variants plus much much more..... and when the weather's fine, the event normally attracts about 100,000 visitors from all over the country. For details visit: www.horshampiazzaitalia.co.uk
And not forgetting....
Horsham Rail History
Regular train services and about an hour's travelling time to and from London Victoria.
Although once the junction of lines to both Guildford and Shoreham which closed in 1965 and 1966 respectively, there is still a strong rail presence locally. Unlike many locations, the goods yard is more or less intact and these days is used for the storage and maintenance of Windhoff MPVs, Tamping machines, Network Rail Stoneblowers plus permanent way equipment.
The yard has also been extended to accommodate facilities for the new Thameslink trains which are now in regular service.
Locally based Industrial Designers Messrs Wilkes and Ashmore were involved in the design of Brush Type 4 (latterly Class 47), Hymek and Brush 'Falcon' locomotives plus other BR projects.

As we made our way up to the mountains we were amazed at the views: potato fields, moo cows, paved roads, terraced hillsides and the volcanoes in the distance. All the beauty the God wanted to show us.
We arrived at the hotel and checked in. We spent the afternoon touring the shops in the local area.
Tomorrow we'll be leaving early to see the gorillas. We're all very excited.

Who doesn't want to receive a gift from Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade, or Alexander Wang? Designer gifts are fun, especially if the person you are buying them for is completely label-obsessed. Not only do designer gifts look nice and come in beautiful packages, but name-dropping a designer label, whether you are giving the gift or receiving it, is just plain satisfying.
Of course, designer bags and clothes can be pretty pricey, but a lot of luxury brands make fun, giftable items that are actually affordable — some gifts sell for as little as $10. Even if the present is something small like headphones, pencils, or playing cards, having that designer label makes it feel a little more special and makes the person receiving it feel special every time they use it. Plus, they'll probably think you spent a lot more money than you actually did, which, let's be honest, is always a plus in the gift-giving game.1. Yellow Keyboard Cover, KATE SPADE SATURDAY, $10; 2.

|This my friend is a bonafide
Marshmallow Tree
|Heal well. Heal Responsibly. Jean Marie Manthei, MA, LPC, CACIII
|On Gratitude: The Journey
On Gratitude: The Journey is a wholly original work. Blending psychology, poetry, and
photography, author Jean-Marie Manthei has compiled seeds of wisdom and pure expression in
this book, cataloguing her moods, thoughts, and philosophy into a single artifact, a beacon in
stormy weather to help guide all those in need of help. Dealing specifically with addiction and
the steps to recovery, On Gratitude acts as an abstract compass— rather than a stiff
prescription. It is inspiring and empathetic, preparing those about to enter recovery (or those
already in recovery) for the concurrent joys and challenges of their journey, and presents these
turbulent emotions artistically— through arresting photographs, through flashes of insight, and
through beautifully enigmatic passages of poetic earnestness.
Ms. Manthei, herself a chemical dependency counselor (and recovering nicotine addict), speaks
with knowledge and from experience— but never with judgement. There is a real connection in
this book, as if the author is opening up her own inner world, airing her secrets and fears and
loves proudly in an intimate conversation with the reader. Even for those who have never
suffered from addiction, On Gratitude is still pertinent; it provides insights for handling
challenges and accepting the world that apply to all of humankind. And I've never quite read a
book like this. It is startling and raw and creative. Certain passages and photos just stick in the
brain and stay there— forcing one to re-read and re-see and re-understand their meaning, to
find a deeper and fuller meaning hidden beneath the words and images. On Gratitude is an
experience— and it is an experience I highly recommend.
—E. Lund

8 Reasons to Grab a Stool at Hollywood's MiniBar Right Now
The creative new cocktail lounge is tucked into the movie-star themed Best Western Plus Hollywood Hills Hotel.
1. It's helmed by chef Brandon Boudet and Warner Ebbink, who preside over Dominick's in West Hollywood and Little Dom's in Los Feliz. MiniBar is a cozy new drinking establishment just above their classic diner 101 Coffee Shop (seen in Entourage and the film Swingers) on Franklin Ave. It's a 32-seat lounge, housed inside the movie-star themed Best Western Plus Hollywood Hills Hotel (which has reasonable rooms if you need to sleep it off).
2. There are eight house specialty drinks. They include off-the-wall concoctions such as Alpine Hippie Juice (herbal liqueur and cassis), Regal Beagle Twinkle Toes (greyhound, sloe gin fizz and kir royale), and Godfather 101 (Scottish whiskey, rum and amaretto).
3. You can have also order beer, wine, and standard cocktails. The "Pick Your Poison" menu offers twists on the Rusty Nail (This Old House), gin martini (The Bernard) Manhattan (The Melvin) and the self-explanatory Fuzzy del Navel and Harvey Wallbanger.
4. The 1970s-chic music. Rod Stewart, Iggy Pop and Air Supply may come from the sound system, but they never overpower the room, thanks to the carpeted floor, and wood panel and upholstered walls.
5. Design. Handsomely appointed by Shawn Hausman, the creative force behind the Chateau Marmont and four Standard hotels, MiniBar has all the vibe of an old school cocktail joint done up in black, red, wood and brass, with all the amenities: swiveling lounge chairs on castors, nail-head-studded black vinyl stools and hooks under the bar for your bag.
6. Lighting. The 1960s-style sconces and the sensitively dimmed overhead spots aimed at the shiny black bar and gold-topped tables bounce flattering light on your face. Bonus points for having plantation shutters over the street-facing windows, so street lights and sunshine don't make you squint—and no one can see you day drinking.
7. Speaking of windows: If you like to see and be seen, there's a table that overlooks the back entrance of the 101. Not to name drop, but on a recent visit, Chris Pratt and Anna Farris were in one of the diner's back booths.
8. There's valet parking. And because it's located in a mostly residential area, you might even find a free spot on the street. After, take the five-minute walk to the nearby groovy magazine, record and book stores, and the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.

About those technical difficulties …
Regular, or even occasional, readers of KenoWi.com may have experienced some difficulties in reaching the site late Thursday and much of Friday. Our hosting company was having unexpected server difficulties that resulted in the problem. Eventually we were moved to a new server, which has cleared up the issue. The experience also has prompted us to think about some more vigorous hosting and we are considering several options. The end result will be an even better experience for those that visit KenoWi.com in the future.
Thank you for your loyalty and patience while we worked this out.
Darren and Karen Hillock
