Thanks to everyone who helped me wrestle with some stylistic concerns here- I think I've settled them by blending my two versions into a more harmonious single chapter that still accomplishes pretty much what it needs to.
PG-13. Caution: Slightly naughty bits ahead. Youngsters, be warned!
Just Lucky, I Guess
"That's exactly what I wanted to hear." Domino heard herself whisper, stunned into truthfulness by this unexpected admission of his feelings for her. Staring at him stupidly, her jaw hung slightly agape, and for the first time in her life she was speechless. Walking back to the couch, she leaned against its arm, composing her thoughts, then stood to pace around the room, eventually finding herself back at his side.
Cable didn't move, didn't speak, barely dared to breathe. His eyes trained on hers, hope that he'd barely admitted to even himself shining brightly from their gray-blue depths. The vehemence of his outburst, the depth of feeling in the strained admission had triggered their psilink, which now flared brighter and stronger than ever before.
Unable to resist its pull, the drinks and the emotional high allowing him to ignore his fears, he took a deep breath and consciously reached out to her. Not pushing or invading the privacy he knew she cherished, he simply opened his mind completely, merging both his soul and his thoughts with hers in a gentle, intimate caress far deeper than a mere psilink, an intimate emotional bonding that demanded nothing and accepted all.
Surprised at the intensity of the bond, he exulted in it, amazed that he could still share so much of his soul with another person. He'd never dreamed he'd ever feel this way again. 'I thought this part of me died with Aliya, but no, it's just as strong as ever...' he breathed, perilously close to tears.
Eyes widening at the contact, he marvelled at the strength and complexity of this woman who'd been by his side for so long, this kindred spirit who'd shared so much of his life. 'You called, I came,' she'd told him so many times, and until now he'd never fully realized what that meant. 'I've been such a fool.'
Domino, eyes welling with unshed tears, gasped as the soft barrage of light coursed through her, suffusing her with a sparkling golden glow. The incandescence was tinged with his own doubts and failures, true, but it still seeped through her to her very core, spreading warmth and healing throughout her battered psyche. Walls she'd spent all of her adult life and longer building, mocking barriers that kept her innermost self locked tightly away from those who had hurt her slowly began to crumble, dissipate, and she felt the shadows hidden deep within her slink back from the presence of this unprecedented unconditional love and acceptance.
'All the things I've done- had to do to survive over the years- he'll see them,' she thought frantically, irrationally certain that he'd truly see for the first time the darkness within her and be repelled by it. 'He knows me better than anyone- he's been in my mind during the dark times- but what if he... He's been hurt so badly, too, and I don't know if I can risk...' She wrapped her arms defensively around her chest, tormented by self-doubts and recriminations that clouded her thoughts, blocked access to the luminous glow. 'Can I do it? Can I show him?' Panic-stricken, she turned her face away and closed her eyes tightly, completely and utterly torn between the safety of hiding behind her long-cultivated walls and the exhilarating redemption of the sharing he offered.
Misinterpreting her guesture as rejection, Cable's entire body slumped, and the shimmering light faded and flickered out as he quickly withdrew from their union, and the separation tore his heart out of his chest. 'Idiot,' he cursed himself flatly, instantly assuming a look of stony indifference to hide the cringing embarassment he felt at having displayed his feelings so openly only to be met with such a harsh denial. 'She's drunk, and worried about tomorrow, that's the only reason she said those things. She didn't mean them, she couldn't, you should have known better than to think she did...'
Domino took an involuntary step back, shocked at the abrupt severing of the link. As the light dimmed within her, the wounded shadows of her past rose again, Stygian tendrils of doubt and guilt snaking up and down the corners of her mind to hiss 'See? He saw what you are and it disgusted him. How could you let him in? You know better than that. It's better to be here, safe and alone, where no one can hurt you...' She shuddered at the familiar taunts of her own personal demons, so much louder now for the absence of the light.
Engulfed by the darkness, so black compared to the sparkling brightness of his touch, she was suddenly struck dumb by how very, very alone she was here in her private shell. Independent, yes, self-reliant, yes, she'd always prided herself on these qualities, but this- this aching emptiness that was devoid of any human touch or need- this tomb-like solitude she'd locked herself into absolutely terrified her. Not knowing whether it was to him or to the faded goodness in herself she was calling out to, she clutched blindly at the last vestiges of the fading light and cried "NO! DON'T GO!"
Nathan's breath caught in his throat, and hope flared against the hurt resignation. "What did you say?" he barked, sharp words coming out in a low, dangerous growl. "Don't play with me, Dom..."
'Oh, Nathan,' she cried out, instinctively responding to the loneliness and yearning inside herself by taking a half-step towards him, reaching up to gently push back an errant lock of silver hair that fell over his forehead. Not trusting herself to speak, she just placed shaking hands on his cheeks, staring up at him, a hunger in her haunted eyes that matched his own. 'I'm not playing. Please don't go.'
He took one hand in his, closing his eyes in relief and a strange nervous anticipation at her words. Feeling his body respond to her nearness, wanting nothing more than to engulf her in his arms, he opened his mouth to speak but she shook her head to halt him.
With her free hand, she held a single finger to his lips, hushing him with a soft "Shhhh...." The alcohol and the emotion, the unexpected communion of souls, had touched her so deeply it had actually begun to heal wounds so deeply ingrained that they'd almost become a part of her. She felt curiously free, and blinking back rare tears, squared her shoulder. 'Enough time wasted.'
Rising on her tiptoes, she murmured "Nathan. Just shut up and kiss me."
Flinging a slim arm around his neck, she pulled him down to meet her, and their lips met in a long, searching kiss, full of passion and resonating with a lifetime's worth of unspoken emotion. He draped an arm around her shoulders, dipping it to rest lightly in the curve of her back for just a moment before pulling her tightly to him. His body tensed in an involuntary shudder at the incredulous thrill of her body pressed tightly to his, and he shook his head in disbelief when she mirrored his movements.
The bond blossomed again, flooding their senses with shared need, magnifying long suppressed longings into an all-consuming, rapturous desire. Eyes closed tightly, they clung to each other, hungry lips desperately exploring the contours of the others mouth, face, and neck, oblivious to anything and everything except the comfort and release they'd finally found in each other's arms. Hesitant hands explored familiar bodies, seen and nursed through countless battles, now offered up together in a dance old as mankind. They moved slowly at first, then growing bolder, more urgent, all the frustration and pain they'd suffered together and the years of denying their feelings channelling themselves into this single achingly passionate moment.
'I can't believe this is happening, after all this time, this is finally happening...' he thought, revelling in this gloriously unexpected turn of events, but conscious thought was soon lost to the jolts of liquid sensation left in the wake of her touch. Burying his face in the crook of her pale neck, sensing gooseflesh rising underneath his mouth, he nuzzled the delicate flesh, trailing down to kiss the hollow of her throat, her shoulders, dizzy with desire as his lips slid down her smooth flesh to lightly graze the tops of her breasts. She arched her back in response, moaning low in her throat, and slowly lowered her hands to slide them easily under the tight waistband of his jeans. He sucked in his breath as her fingers skimmed the straining muscles underneath, groaning at the feel of warm fingers on his skin.
Breathing heavily, he reluctantly pulled himself away from her, his body screaming in protest. "Dom..." Voice husky with desire, he warned "I don't think I'll be able to stop if we don't quit now..."
"Who said anything about stopping?" She answered in a low, amused tone, her pale skin flushed with exertion, and their bond resonated with her arousal, easily echoed by his own. 'I want this as much as you do,' she caught his hand, squeezing it, her eyes never leaving his. His breath caught in his throat as he realized what she was saying.
'Are you sure?' he asked, and his voice in her mind was so soft, so uncertain that at first she thought she'd imagined it. 'There's no need to rush this...'
She halted, realizing the truth of what he said, knowing there was no turning back from the decision she had to make. Staring straight at the cage of forced isolation she'd locked herself into for so long, she swallowed tightly and made the hardest decision of her life- she turned to the light.
Feeling the shadows and fears uneasily subside within her, for the moment at least, she smiled a bit sadly. "Eighteen years together is hardly 'rushing' things, Nathan," she reminded him. 'And yes, I'm sure.'
Sensing his emotions, she shared the comingled sense of overwhelming relief and regret as he berated himself for all the time lost. 'If I hadn't been so damn stupid, holding myself back when I've known damn well for years just how much you mea-'
'Na-uh,' she cut him off with an admonishing look. 'Enough of that. You're not the only one who was too chicken shit, but we've got better things to do tonight.'
Not willing to spend another moment on the past, she smiled wickedly. Customary cockiness returning to her tone, she drawled "That is, if you think you're..."She arched an elegant eyebrow, eyes sweeping downward in a pointed glance. "Up to it."
A long, slow smile spread across his features, and he laughed, a low, delighted rumbling that echoed deep in his chest. Pulling her closer to him again, he cupped her chin in one hand and bent his head close to hers to whisper, eyes twinkling in the dim light "Ask me that again in the morning."
Much later, with both of them unclothed, she dozed fitfully in his arms. He lay awake, afraid to fall asleep, certain he'd wake to find this had been just another dream. Running his fingers through her tousled dark hair, now slightly matted with perspiration, he kissed the top of her head softly. Bare limbs intertwined in the twisted sheets, they lay together in peace, the bond between them humming contentedly in the aftermath of love.
She stirred, and he shifted slightly to allow her room to nestle closer to him. Watching her sleep, he felt a deep, protective surge of emotion, and was struck by a disturbing thought. 'What if this is a one-night thing for her? What if everything goes back to the way it's been before?' Horrified at the idea, unable to wait until she woke, he touched her arm gently. "Dom?"
"Hmmm?" She opened one eye sleepily, fingers tracing lazy circles on his chest, awash in post-coital bliss. "Yeah, Nate?"
He swallowed, running a silver hand along the curve of her shoulder, shards of ice lodged in his heart at the thought of losing this newfound intimacy. "Please don't leave me," he choked, his deep voice curiously shy.
"Oh, Nate," she murmured, propping herself up on one elbow, dark hair spilling onto his chest. Blinking the sleep out of her eyes, she stroked his cheek with the back of her hand, shocked at how easily the words came and even more so at how much she meant them. "I'm not going anywhere, you idiot. You ought to know better than that by now. This changes everything." Raising bare arms high above her head, she stretched luxuriously, and the easy sensuality of her movements made him swallow, hard. She noticed, and smiled.
She leaned back against the sea of pillows, pushing a handful of dark hair out of her face as she wondered how to let him know that this wouldn't- couldn't- affect their professional relationship, no matter how much it had touched them personally. Nathan grinned, immensely relieved by her reassurances and amused by the thought. "'Course, this doesn't mean the world has to know about it. If anyone knew a hard-hearted mercenary like you actually had feelings for anybody, it'd ruin your reputation, right?"
She nodded, feeling distinctly ill at ease discussing this, afraid he'd misunderstand her concerns. "Nate, that doesn't mean that I don't- hell, I do- you know, after tonight, how I've felt for so long, but- we can't behave like this in public, you know that, right?"
He actually laughed aloud, and she blew an exasperated stream of air through her lips. "Go on, act like it's funny, but I've worked damn hard to be considered a professional in my own right, and not just an extension of somebody else, even you. This can't change that."
He tensed, afraid that she *was* telling him that she didn't want this new aspect of their relationship after all. "Dom, what are you telling me here?" His voice was calm and steady, but underneath it the old insecurities poised, ready to rush back and reclaim this tenuous peace he'd found in her arms.
She lightly touched his arm, allieviating his fears. "No, you idiot, I'm not telling you I don't want this." She paused, and in her eyes he saw a glimpse of the same vulnerability he was trying his best to hide in his own. "I do," she whispered softly, and he relaxed. "I just need to make sure that you know- this, tonight-" She guestured at the bed "This is *ours*, Nate. This is *private*. I'm not ashamed of it, not in the least," her chin jutted out proudly "But this is a separate world from work. I wouldn't trade this for anything, anything at all," He felt his heart swell at the soft smile on her face, then blinked at her abrupt "But it doesn't change our professional relationship at all. If we're gonna be togther like this, you need to understand that I don't want you making any stupid chauvanistic bonehead moves to try to 'protect' me from anything. I'm still your partner and I can take care of myself on the field. I don't want you treating me differently from anybody else. Got it?" Her voice rose slightly, and she stared at him intently, anxious that he understand this.
He sighed, knowing how much respect meant to her, knowing she was absolutely right- he couldn't allow his personal feelings to change the way he viewed their professional relationship, and he sure as hell couldn't treat her differently in front of others. Neither could she. Their privacy meant to much to the both of them for that. "Understood," he nodded a bit too sharply, hoping he could live up to the promise.
They lapsed into a comfortable silence, broken a few moments later by her quiet voice, hesitant but surprisingly strong. "Now that that's settled, are *you* going to leave me?"
His eyes narrowed. "Oath, no! I may still have to keep things private from you, but there's no way I could *leave* you, woman!" He sounded shocked, and immensely disturbed at the prospect. 'Now, there's still things I was sent here to do that I can't tell anyone about, things I don't have any choice in...' he mused, and was surprised at the vehemence of her response through their link as she heard what he had considered to be a private thought.
"The hell you say!" She sat up straighter, pulling the sheet around her indignantly. "That's bullshit! I understand having to do things on your own, and I'm not asking you to tell me all your secrets, but you *always* have a choice!" Expression softening, she struggled to find the words to express her anger at the helplessness she sensed emanating from him. "Dammit, Nathan, you're not just the 'Chosen One', you're not just somebody's tool. You're a man, too, and you have free will. I wish you'd use it sometimes,' she finished, an affectionate, worried smile taking the sting out of her harsh words.
Defusing the potential argument before it had the chance to really get started, he chuckled, running a silver finger lightly down her side. "Nagging already?" he teased, and she shivered at the pleasurable sensation of cool metal against her warm skin.
Noticing her reaction, he stopped, jerking his hand away self-consciously. "I'm sorry, Dom," he stammered "It happened so fast before, I didn't think how strange my arm must feel to you-" Blushing furiously, he began shifting his techno-organics, pulling peach-colored synth-skin over his metallic arm. Here, in this most intimate of settings, he'd actually allowed himself to forget that he wasn't just any other man and she any other woman, alone in the night. He looked away from her, embarrassed by this reminder that no matter how hard he fought against it, part of him was still metal, not blood, and always would be.
A dark look clouded her face, and she cursed under her breath, grabbing the thick wrist angrily with one hand. "If you don't stop that right now, I'm gonna shove this somewhere *very* unpleasant," she warned, letting his arm drop to the bed. 'I want you as *yourself*, Nate, just as you are,' she chided, and her voice in his thoughts sounded slightly hurt that he'd thought he still had to hide himself from her after all they'd shared that night.
He didn't trust himself to speak, but he slowly shifted his arm back to its normal state. Nodding in satisfaction, she drew closer to him again. Settling herself in the crook of his arm, she turned on her side, his arm draped around her, palm lying flat against her stomach as he turned with her, the argument forgotten in the quiet of the night.
A few moments passed, and she started, remembering something she'd meant to tell him. Through the impending haze of dreams, she asked "Do you remember what I told you when I left the last time, after that Gryaznova bitch got ahold of me?'
"You mean, when I asked you why *you* were pushing *me* away?" He smiled wryly through a jaw-cracking yawn, and turning her head slightly, she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Yes, you impudent bastard, then," she returned his yawn. "I told you that I wished we were two ordinary people with ordinary problems-"
"Good luck," he muttered sotto voce, holding her close to him, savoring the feel of her body pressed tightly against his.
Her eyebrows rose to her hairline "Funny you should phrase it that way," she murmured softly. "Anyway, that's kinda what I wanted t' tell you," she managed, words growing progressively softer and less distinct.
He tilted his head curiously, noticing the first ray of sunrise through the foggy window. "Tell me what?" he asked, running his hands reverently along her bare back as sleep struggled to reclaim them both.
"You an' me. Being ordinary people," her eyes closed, and she switched to psi-speak. 'I know we're forced into extraordinary circumstances, but Nathan, tonight here with you, I don't feel like a soldier, or a mercenary, or even a mutant,' she closed her eyes, 'Tomorrow I'll be all of those things, and more, but tonight, I just feel like a woman.' With the last of her energy, she whispered "Just wanted you to know that."
He swallowed tightly, knowing how much such honesty had cost her, and promised himself they would never regret the decision they'd made tonight in this London room. Thanking God that He'd given him another chance at such happiness, he held Domino close to him in the dawn of that new day and promptly fell asleep, untroubled by dreams or fears of what the future would hold.

Singapore Firm to Set Up E-Business Park
Page 1 of 1
1-Net Singapore Pte. Ltd., the key infrastructure player behind the island's emerging SingaporeONE broadband multimedia network, has revealed plans to build the country's first e-business park.
Currently, the Singapore government has been proactive in setting technology parks within the island and around the region and the move could be a primer to expand this concept overseas.
The company plans to set up an industrial estate which will give interested businesses the ability to have high-speed internet access and broadband multimedia access from one central location. It is now in discussions with several property developers on executing the plan to set up the premise.
The company plans to invest about S$3 million in setting up the necessary infrastructure like the networks and switches and hopes to get the estate ready for occupation by mid 2000. The aim is to provide every tenant in the park with broadband multimedia access at low cost since the site will sit on the SingaporeONE backbone.
Currently, the three main Singapore ISPs -- SingNet Pte. Ltd., Pacific Internet Ltd. and Cyberway Pte. Ltd. -- together have four pipelines of 155 Mbps each.
Another key feature of the park is that it will house a broadband access node, also found in the SingaporeOne network, seldom found in other industrial parks. Other features of the e-business park will include telcommunication standard data centres with backup power supplies and links to telephone exchanges and ISPs around the clock.
In setting up this park, the company said it plans to bring related expertise from areas like system integrators, content providers and logistics fulfillment services under one location.
The move comes at a time when a recent survey by the Singapore National Computer Board showed that companies were reluctant to get into e-commerce because of high start-up costs.

On Sunday, April 30th, the students of MSU Upward Bound had the opportunity to visit the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills, and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. These beautiful museums specialize in retelling the stories of two important populations in our history. It was a heavy day filled with critical lessons regarding diversity and how to combat racial and ethnic discrimination.
At the Holocaust Memorial Center, students were given a guided tour throughout the museum. Different displays and videos helped to remind students of the unforgettable events that occurred during World War II. Although the museum itself was slightly overwhelming, the students were encouraged to think about how they could help eradicate discrimination that is still so prevalent in our world today. The tour stressed that it is "up to us" to use our voices and make a difference in the world so that history does not repeat itself. Upward Bound students left this museum with the intentions of accepting people for who they are, no matter what ethnic background they come from.
"MSU Upward Bound brings in a lot of different people from a lot of different races, and makes it easier for them to communicate and open up to one another," Upward Bound student Damian Garza said, after viewing the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
The day's theme of racial discrimination did not stop at the Holocaust Memorial Center. Upward Bound students then proceeded to visit the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. Here, they continued to relive history through the eyes of another heavily targeted, yet influential ethnic group in our society. Often a topic that many people have a hard time confronting, the slave trade was a wrongdoing that the Museum of African American History explains in great detail. At many points throughout the guided tour, students were surprised and saddened to hear about the great sufferings that occurred many years ago. Learning about these tragic events; however, came with great opportunity to learn that people need to treat one another as equals.
"I wasn't expecting this trip to be so eye opening," Upward Bound student Christopher Loring said, after visiting the African American History Museum, "The people who went through all of that suffering still came out wanting to do better and get better."
Although the day was filled with some hard to accept historical facts, students enjoyed learning about important world history. Lessons surrounding how to combat racial and ethnic discrimination will hopefully stick with the students as they approach their adult lives. By learning about what happened in the past, students can utilize these lessons and the resilience of persecuted populations to help positively shape their own futures and society as a whole.
MSU Upward Bound Invites Students to Dive Into Some Heavy World History

The former chief of the Maine Turnpike Authority faces the likelihood of at least some jail time as part of a plea agreement in a felony theft case against him. Paul Violette was executive director of the Turnpike Authority for 23 years until an investigation last March revealed lavish and unauthorized spending.
According to the Office of the Maine Attorney General, Violette is expected to enter a plea agreement on charges that carry a maximum of 10 years.
Last year, the Maine Legislature's Office of Program Evaluation and Government Accountability conducted a review that found more than $450,000 in sponsorships and donations that used turnpike funds. Unauthorized spending included $157,000 in gift cards that had no paper trail on who received them.
Violette resigned in March 2011, and in July the Maine Turnpike Authority filed a civil complaint against him. Violette settled the civil suit, agreeing to pay back $155,000 in restitution. Two bonding firms are on the hook to pay back another $275,000 to the agency.

How it works
Many customers are searching for "Www Loan Unity" There's simply no predicting the future. Anything can happen at any moment, and leave you in a very tight financial spot. Nobody likes these positions, but sometimes you just can't avoid them. You can apply at Www Loan Unity.
Www Loan Unity, That's why brands like Get Fast Pay.com exist mainly because they might help in dire financial situations. But there is something to consider first, and you wish to know everything prior to you making that loan.
Precisely What Is Advance Loan?
It's crucial that you establish such a advance loan is, and exactly how it can help you. Firstly, a company like Get Fast Pay.com will offer what is called a cash advance. It is a short-term loan because you'll basically be borrowing the amount of money for a couple of days or weeks.
Basically, you sign a legal contract saying you'll pay for the money-back the minute you get paid at the conclusion of the month. Thus, it gets you out of any tight spot with a specific duration of the month whenever you don't have money.
Secondly, a advance loan should only be considered a shorter-term solution. Much like the contract you'll sign will have a brief lifetime, so should your reliance upon making another loan.
The entire reasoning behind a cash advance is based on emergencies, not sustaining a lifestyle.
What You Must Have A Cash Advance
You will need a job and a monthly salary, which gets paid to your banking account. Without proof of income, nobody is going to approve financing, mainly because they won't receive their cash back.
If you have a evidence of income, a credit check will most likely be done. Applicants with less-than-perfect credit can certainly still get loans from certain companies, but the risk is higher on their own part. Which implies you'll pay more when you get financing.
If you don't possess issues with your credit, you shouldn't have a problem being approved to get a cash loan.
Are You Able To Afford It?
Although the money advance company will screen your earnings and expenses, then check whether you can afford to create a loan, it doesn't mean it's the truth.
Unlike the organization willing to lend your cash, you already know your financial situation. Only you can really know if you'll have the capacity to pay that installment at the conclusion of the month. If you can't, it's planning to do problems for your credit rating.
If you've been having consistent money issues, it's a smart idea to locate a different solution to the situation.
However, if you don't really enter into tight spots financially, and also you know it's simply a temporary setback, contact Get Fast Pay.com for a cash loan. Why stress over money when you are able obtain it right now?
That's the great thing about a cash loan. You'll obtain the money immediately, turning your bad situation into one with a little more hope. So long as you is able to afford to pay the amount of money back following the month, nothing needs to be stopping you from utilizing this rather useful service from Get Fast Pay.com. Www Loan Unity

A menu is one of the key forms of navigation when visitors are using your website. You can (and should) also link to relevant pages from within an article but there's no substitute for a menu. Here's a video tutorial on how to create one in Joomla.
The most important menu is your main navigation menu - the one you usually find at the very top of the page, or in older style websites, usually in the left column. You can also have sub-menus, which show up only on certain pages.
Also, how you use menus can affect your URL structure. Here's an article I wrote a while ago about Joomla menu strategies for URL structure.
How to Create a Joomla Menu and Menu Item
In this tutorial we're going to create a menu and a menu item.
Create the Menu
- From the top menu, go to Menus > Manage > Add New Menu.
Let's make a menu for what I call administrative pages - not really content, but pages every website should have, such as an About Us page.
- Name the menu. I'll call this menu Admin Menu.
- Click save and close.
Create the Menu Item
- Now select the menu, either here or through the top menu, and add new item. An item is a link within the menu.
- Select Menu Item Type > Articles > Single Article.
- Then select the article.
- Enter the title for the menu link.
If you leave the alias blank, the title becomes the URL. (The alias is part of the URL.)
Because this menu item is for an article, I'm going to give them the same title. (You can make the link title different, but it can get confusing.)
- Edit the settings if necessary.
- You can move the menu item to a different menu using the menu selector.
- By selecting a parent item, you can make the link show as a child item (which may show as a drop down menu).
It also means the URL would include the parent. For example: yourdomain.com/parent-item/child-item.
Tweaking Menu Item SEO
- Next, under the page display tab, you can edit the browser page title, which is what shows up on your web browser tab.
The browser pulls it from the meta-title - something you don't see on the page but something google does see and uses to help determine what your page is about. In other words, it's a chance to tinker with your SEO.
- Under the metadata tab, there's the chance to enter a description and keywords. You only need to do this for menu links that aren't article pages because you should already this entering this metadata for articles when you create them.
- Finally, under the link type tab, you'll see the link title attribute. This is another place to tinker with SEO.
Tell google a little more about the page by writing a short description. You'll see this pop up when you hover over the link.
- With the menu item created, click save and close.
On your Joomla site you now have an about us page, a menu for site administrative pages, and a menu item linking to your about us page. Again, if you look at your site though, you'll still see no change.
The last thing we need to do is display the menu by creating a menu module. We'll show you how to that in the next video tutorial.

After having eaten the store-bought variety of honey all my life, finding these producers has been a God-send, literally! Please don't ever try this honey if you expect to buy from the grocery chains again. It will simply bee (pun intended) too painful. Real honey, as evidenced here, will spoil you forever.
Posted by Beeks on 16th Sep 2009
Tastes like heaven. I have also tried the wild apple blossom variety, which is equally delicious but in a different way. Now that I've tried bee sweet honeys, I can't eat the brand name grocery store stuff anymore. This is very, very delicious. What more can I say??
Posted by J Sargent on 29th Jul 2009
I routinely sample honey produced across the Ottawa Valley but when my daughters gave me a jar of the Golden Rod & Aster from 'Bee Sweet' I was blown away. This is a subtly yet distinctly flavoured honey that has become my all-time favourite. I'm coming to Moose Creek to stock up!

Webinars can become addictive. Some of the best are on the www.LegacyFamilyTree.com site. All the webinars are free and are mostly on Wednesdays about 1:00 p.m. You must sign up to listen to these. Some remain online for about six days if you miss the one on Wednesday. Others stay online indefinitely.
I just finished watching an excellent webinar on Privacy and Our Ancestors by Thomas MacEntee. He gave a comparative study on the privacy we have in today's electronic times and the amount of privacy our ancestors had. In the live talk, he asked the registered listeners their opinions on who had more privacy. What do you think? In addition, do you think we have less privacy with the internet?
Chances are if your ancestor lived in a small town as many of mine did, they knew just about everything going on with everyone in the community. The conscience of opinion is that our ancestors may not have had as much privacy as we do today. Do you know all your neighbors? I don't and I have lived here for seven years.
I grew up in Plano. When my friend Adrienne Miller brought her cousin Gene Lynge over to play one long hot summer day, I remember asking him all kinds of questions. I wanted to know him. After all, Plano was a small town and our class was very small. If kids, or adults, did that today, we would be told it is none of our business.
In the webinar, MacEntee also gave many sites for researching particular topics. Some were subscription and others were free sites. For instance, those searching city directories should use Google Books and Genealogy Bank. For obituaries, look at http://obits.rootsweb.ancestry.com or http://sites.google.com/site/onlinenewspapersite/. I found the nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation, www.eff.org, interesting because it is the first line of defense when we are under attack by the networked world. It also stays on top of the social media changes such as Facebook.
I have mentioned Google Alerts, www.google.com/alerts, and exclaimed how much I like that feature. Type in the name of the person you want Google to search for you and tell them whether you want to be notified every day, and what time, or maybe just on a weekly basis.
Thomas MacEntee has a PDF titled "The (Not Do) Private Lives of Our Ancestors at www.archives.com/experts/macentee-thomas/private-lives-of-our-ancestors.html. It is an interesting read and worth spending a few minutes reading it.
It seems that we have more privacy today, but actually the easy access of records on the internet make records easier to find. I wager that in small towns people still know everyone, where they live and most everything about them.
SAMFORD UNIVERSITY GENEALOGY COURSES: The registration for the weeklong genealogy courses at Samford University Institute of Genealogical and Historical Research (IGHR) in Birmingham, Alabama, opens January 22, 2013 at 10:00 p.m. Central time. At that time, a special link will connect you to the registration. The institute begins at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 9 and concludes at 12:00 p.m. on Friday, June 14. Once you enter the website, http://www4.samford.edu/schools/ighr/, click on the top link on your left for the courses offered, and http://www4.samford.edu/schools/ighr/IGHR_courses.html. The address for IGHR is, Samford University IGHR, 800 Lakeshore Drive, Birmingham, AL 35229. I consider this topmost in genealogical education. I have attended seven IGHR weekly courses.
FAMILY HISTORY INFORMATION STANDARDS ORGANIZATION: An interesting site, whose goal is to establish new standards for sharing family history online, is the Family History Information Standards Organization. It is working to replace GEDCOM with new standards for sharing family history online. This is in its infancy, but worthwhile to examine. Look at their site, www.Fhiso.org. The PDF on the GEDCOM replacement is online at http://fhiso.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Why-FHISO-v01-04.pdf.
Brenda Kellow has a bachelor's degree in history, teaches, and lectures on genealogy. Before retiring to publish her family's histories in 2007, Brenda held certification as a Certified Genealogist and as a certified Genealogical Instructor.

I'm not complaining. But man oh man, I've been busy. Yesterday was spent almost completely in Sibelius reworking Theme 2, which will soon have a real title. I've been embellishing, composing new motifs and creating major variations on this theme. The idea is to make a long track with varying musical ideas so that the ear doesn't get tired and the player doesn't get bored. Another thing we try to do is make the loop as unpredictable as possible, so that one can only predict when it's coming after many listens.
Also, I've gotten to listen to the first round of orchestrations from J. Michael St. Clair. And if it wasn't obvious how excited I was before to be working with him, let me remove all doubt. They are fantastic. Not only did he build on the world I created his flawless read of the piece has helped to make it even lighter and more robust at the same time. No easy feat. I can't wait to post the progress. Check back in a few days to be sure to not miss them.
Today means more work. My goal is to finish each of the 7 songs I have already by two weeks from today and get started on new songs, 1 or two at a time after that. We should be done with a bulk of the composing and orchestration by late January. Which affords us two+ months to arrange, sequence and mix.
It sounds like I may need to make a schedule…

August 2007 Update
C2C in August 2007
The month of August has been especially busy and productive with the start of the Tenix Aerospace UAV project, Science Alive at the Wayville Showgrounds and Science @ the Lakes activities at Mawson Lakes as well as a whole host of Lean Manufacturing Workshops, OHS&W Workshops and C2C idea development.
The Tenix Aerospace Genesis UAV Project is being piloted (pun intended) by 4 schools, Parafield Gardens High School, Riverton & Districts High School, Valley View Secondary School and The Heights School. About 62 year 11 Physics students have accepted the UAV Challenge developed by Mal Tutty from Tenix Aerospace.
Students are required to learn to fly remote controlled aircraft, fit the aircraft with sensors and collect specified data. There have been a number of technical malfunctions with the aircraft so far (otherwise known as prangs) and we are not sure if students are getting better at flying or repairing.
On the 15 August the UAV students and teachers attended a UAV Workshop day at UniSA, Mawson Lakes.
They went to seminars conducted by Tenix Aerospace, UniSA, DSTO and University of Adelaide UAV and aeronautical experts. This was followed by lunch at Parafield Airport and an airside tour of the airport. Back at UniSA they had ground school instruction from another UAV expert and a go at the flying simulators.
Next stop will be a tour with Tenix Aerospace in late September. In the meantime they are working on research, project management plans and trying to become UAV pilots.
Watch for more Industry projects with BAE Systems planning to kick start another robotics based project and GM Holden an engineering challenge which will carry over into 2008.
Well done to the NAMIG team who talked and talked and talked to the 1000s of people who attended the Science Alive - Science Weekend on 11 & 12 August. The Science Alive organisers are to be congratulated with over 20,000 science enthusiasts attending over the 2 day event.
The longest science week in history (I believe it was 16 days long) also included the highly successful annual Science @ the Lakes at UniSA, Mawson Lakes. The NAMIG contribution was a series of Lean Manufacturing Workshops conducted by the NAMIG team- thanks Bob. Also a great effort from Guy Wallis from Intercad who gave up his day and gave Test Drive CAD workshops to student groups. Keith Ladd from Parafield TafeSA also performed beyond the call of duty when he worked with 3 schools on a Flying Challenge on his rostered day off. (Keith then rocked up to the SA Museum on Saturday for more science promotion)
And last but not least, The Future Thinking for Future Scientists Youth Forum on 27 August at Innovation House was an impressive morning. Dr Alex Grant and Dr Mel McDowell met with 48 students from 9 area schools to give their views on the careers they have chosen. They then set a series of discussion questions for the student teams who then brought their take on the subjects – Information Theory and Sheep Genome Research - back to the group. It was a very impressive gathering of students engaging with two exceptional young research scientists. One thing is for sure Science and Northern Adelaide do mix!
Thanks go to the Science @ The Lakes Committee which includes UniSA, the Delfin Corporation, the City of Salisbury, Rotary, local schools and NAMIG assisted by the Tall Poppies Campaign who worked to make this special event a great ending to Science "Week".
By the end of August a rough estimate of over 600 students from over 20 schools had a significant C2C experience. This couldn't have happened without the many organisations and people who made this possible.
Here's just a short list of the organisations in no particular order. I won't list the people – we would run out of room.
UniSA Peer Mentors
University of Adelaide
Mawson Centre

I hope you all had the chance to enjoy my previous review about Labiotte Wine lip tint. Today, I want to focus more on the skin. It's essential to keep it as healthy as possible. Then, we can think about the best makeup products we want to purchase and put on our skin. I have never been tempted to explore new skin care products due to the fact, I am afraid they might ruin my skin. The unknown is a little scary; there is nothing weird about that. But, sometimes, the "new" becomes the BEST! This is what happened to me when I first convinced myself to try the Jalousian anti-wrinkle cream by Son & Park. I must admit, after passing the first 25 years of my life, my skin has seen better days. I notice it has lost its elasticity and, to be honest with you, for a while, I thought it was impossible to revitalize it and bring it back to what is used to look until I first put Jalousian anti-wrinkle cream on my face….
What does the product claim?
Well, when first reading all the amazing benefits this anti-wrinkle face cream claims to bring, I thought they were kidding or something. I mean, according to Son & Park, it isn't just supposed to work on our wrinkles and fine lines; this cream actually seems to be an all-in-one product. It is an everyday face care cream which is claimed to deliver the best anti-wrinkle treatment filled with active elements. It also deeply works on moisturizing all layers of our skin and makes it elastic by giving a lifting effect (This was the first effect I personally noticed). The Jalousian anti-wrinkle cream's structure contains three layers (oil-water-oil). It is also excellent in adhesiveness of makeup since it contains two types of oils. So, according to the brand, you get to have a strong agent working on your wrinkles making them disappear by giving your face a deep moisturizer feeling and also, on the other hand, it works on your skin elasticity making it more lifted and last but not least, it can be used as a makeup remover.
What did I notice?
Well, as you've probably guessed, I didn't believe I would get all of the above-mentioned benefits. They seem to be too-good-to-be-true…
Today, I can only say just one thing: I WAS WRONG!
Yes, unfortunately, even though I hate to admit, my skepticism was a little too high this time. But, fortunately for me, I now have found my all-time favorite anti-wrinkle and moisturizer face cream.
Jalousian Anti-wrinkle cream has an extremely light formula which can be used during the morning and night skin care routine. I personally, during the first week, only used it as a night cream, but, then, I realized it was showing the results better if used twice a day. It has a rich, creamy and soft feels that my skin quickly absorbs it.
I also love the fact it doesn't feel grassy on my skin. It leaves a sophisticated slippery feel which takes almost 2-3 minutes to fully disappear. My skin tends to be really dry during the winter months. That is why I find this cream also a great moisturizer because it has the power to keep my skin soft and nourished through all the day by giving it a glowy look. And not to forget, it has a nice, feminine and light fragrance which I totally love!
Pros of Jalousian Anti-Wrinkle cream
- It has a lightweight formula
- Has made my wrinkles disappear by almost 70-80% for the first 3 weeks of usage
- It doesn't irritate my skin
- My skin feels like I have just woken up (elastic and bright)
- It doesn't leave my skin grassy
- It keeps it nourishes through all the day
- My skin feels softer and brighter
- It blends easily and is quickly absorbed
- Drastically minimized my pores
- It lasts for a long time due to its texture
- Its active elements feel very natural and light on my skin
Well, as you might have already assumed, I love this product. I would 100% recommend it especially to women who have a sensitive skin which is easily irritated. Also, the ones who suffer from dry skin and have wrinkles under the eye area and around the mouth will definitely benefit from this cream.

Helping to prevent you from becoming a victim of crime.
TRACKER offer a range of stolen vehicle recovery systems and motorcycles can be protected by Tracker as well as cars and vans.
Mycrimeprevention.co.uk have seen offers available that show 'up to 10% discount on your insurance policy if you have a TRACKER device fitted.'
Insurance companies may be prepared to offer these discounts as they feel TRACKER can greatly improve the chances of any stolen vehicles being recovered.
Stolen motorcycles are often transported in vans or containers making it more difficult to trace them. TRACKER use VHF technology enabling a stolen motorcycle to be tracked even if it is hidden in a van, container or a garage.
In addition to this VHF technology TRACKER systems are operated by all of the UK's police forces. This combination of VHF technology and police operation increase the chances that stolen motorcycles will be recovered and therefore reduce the risk that insurance companies will need to make a compensation payment.
Fitting a TRACKER system could therefore benefit you as there is more chance your bike will be returned and could also result in lower insurance costs!
You could also consider fitting a ground anchor or possibly checking out these big padlocks for motorbikes.

It's good practice to save images from failed inspections. As well as a check that the vision system is making the correct decisions it's a useful process diagnostic tool. Get a run of rejections – look at the images to see what's going wrong or what's changed. (Often times there has been a gradual shift in something like mold tool condition which changes reflectivity, giving rise to false rejects.) And if you're really on the ball, you'll write out a bunch of inspection data on every cycle.
But managing that data can be a pain in the backside. If you do what I do you have a single text file. That's easy to set up but hardly user friendly. It's much better to create new folders on a daily, or even shift, basis.
It's my understanding that "Vision 'Base Folders' Creator 2013" is a handy little utility designed to simplify that chore. I haven't put it to the test myself yet, but as it seems like a good idea I thought I'd share it with my community of readers and invite their feedback.
So please click the link and take a look. If it makes your working life just a tad easier, let me know.

Promotional marketing through the use of custom apparel & products can provide a number of useful techniques to drawing customers in based on the items you offer and visually display. Executing a variety of promotional tactics with custom apparel & products can offer a low cost and highly effective way of building brand awareness around your business and events. This type of marketing has proven successful time and time again across all types of business genres.
Below you'll find six promotional tactics that can be used to benefit your organization's brand, products and/or services, reputation, and overall perception during events and digital engagements.
1. "Always Be Closing"
As a business owner, you're most certainly familiar with the ABC's of sales. So why not increase your reach by providing members of your organization with comfortable and slick custom apparel that they can casually wear when out on the town. Who knows, you might just spot your branded apparel while attending a local sporting event, county fair, shopping mall….or maybe even the pub round the corner!
Giving away custom apparel or products to your members that feature your branding can offer a low cost way of piquing interest and increasing reach on an audience you wouldn't regularly see walk in to your establishment. Word of mouth through apparel & products can spread like wildfire!
2. Giveaway Promotional Items with Purchase
When customers purchase your product or service, why not offer incentive to attend a future event or upcoming sale by giving away promotional items that display key information that might include specific dates, locations, or product launches.
Ever rock out to your favorite music group to eventually find yourself buying that very expensive, but must-have concert t-shirt displaying all upcoming tour dates & locations?? We've all done it! Take advantage of your giveaways by providing specific information that gives your customers a reason to keep coming back.
3. Strive to Raise Awareness and Perform Acts of Goodwill
Attending events that allow your organization to give back to the community or donate to local charities can go a long way. Make it annual by raising awareness through the use of giveaways such as t-shirts or water bottles that display colors representing a specific cause like pink for breast cancer, orange for multiple sclerosis, or purple for Alzheimer's.
A notable example of this is the NFL, an organization that does a great job of raising awareness for breast cancer each year by representing the color pink through its football players who represent by wearing pink gloves & cleats, the football field which displays a large pink ribbon, individual footballs each branded with a pink, and anyone else associated with the NFL. These acts of goodwill and kindness never go unnoticed.
4. Leverage Your Social Media Audience
Your organization's social media pages can be used to promote and giveaway items such as customized hats, t-shirts and key chains. Take advantage of Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn to engage your customers and prospects by offering trivia or friendly competitions about your company. The prize? Why not a customized product featuring your business logo and other marketing content. Get the buzz going about your business. Tactics used that offer valuable information, humor, or incentives through engagement for your audience, are sure to get the word out in a big way without being overtly sales driven.
5. Orchestrate Organizational Activities
Encourage your employees, volunteers and interns to hit the streets wearing your branded custom apparel, while also performing an organized dance, song or skit of some sort. You'll immediately draw large audiences as a result. Maybe even use that time to hand out fliers, t-shirts and coupons that potential customers can use to save money when purchasing your products or services.
By using the above promotional tactics through custom apparel & products, you can expect to build brand awareness around your organization while having fun doing so! Who knew that promoting your company could be so fun?
Has your organization leveraged any of these promotional tactics? What would you add to the list?

Sally Hawkins and her plucky overbite will not be denied. This much, at least, we should know by now.
Ms. Hawkins plays Rita O'Grady, one of a very small minority (just 157 of 55,000) of women working in the Ford Plant in Dagenham England. The year is 1968, a fact partially announced by Desmond Dekker's "The Israelites," which we hear early on (the song went to #1 on the English charts that year), as male and female employees are seen riding their bikes to the plant, in something of a jolly, English, working class idyll. Rita and her coworkers are sequestered in a sweaty workroom, where they are responsbible for sewing upholstery for Ford vehicles. The warmth of the close workspace is attested to, as the first order of business for many of the women is to strip off overclothes down to slips, bras and articles of feminie dress that are a running source of embarassment for their kindly union rep., Albert, whenever he shows up to brief the women on negotiations with the company. As the film begins, the women's work has recently downgraded to unskilled. But before their fight for fair wages is over, they will demand not only a raise, but equal pay with their male counterparts at the plant.
Made in Dagenham is actually based on a 1968 strike by sewing machinists at the Ford Plant in the east London suburb. So, as it all turns out, we have an ample amount feel good built into the story. None-the-less, scriptwriter William Ivory stacks the deck in favor of big emotional payoffs. There is the unlikely alliance in the still class-conscious Britain of the late 60's of Rita and Lisa Hopkins, the wife of a Ford executive. Though educated with a Cambridge degree, Lisa (Rosamund Pike) languishes as little more than a trophy wife to her husband, relegated to serving Hors d'ouerve and looking pretty for guests. The two women have the common cause of a bullying teacher at a school attended by their sons. When Lisa learns of Rita's struggle, she encourages her and even loans her a Biba dress for a meeting with Secretary of State for Employment, Barbara Castle (Miranda Richardson), rather to the shock of her husband. The brief scenes between Hawkins and Pike are strong enough, but there might as well be a crawl across the bottom of the screen: WOMEN OF BRITAIN UNITED, REGARDLESS OF CLASS. Got it.
Similarly, there is the kindly Albert, standing in a coffee shop one rainy afternoon with Rita, explaining his interest in the women's cause with a bit of plaintive back story. He's the son of a single mother whose attempts to keep the family afloat were made all the more difficult by the inequity of being paid less than the men who performed the same life-shortening work in the factory where they labored. This is all quite useful, lest we grow bewildered at a man with no obvious agenda helping the women. Albert is a Bob Hoskins role. Fortunately, Bob Hoskins is present to play it, liberally dispensing his bearish goodwill.
Rita's transition from mild-mannered machinist to equal pay spokesperson is but one of what feels like several shortcuts taken by writer Ivory and director Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls). It happens quickly. In one scene, Rita is rendered speechless by the arrogant school teacher who she suspects of bullying her son. In the next, she's drafted to represent the women at union negotiations. She takes on that role at the encouragement of Albert, but also because her co-worker Eileen (Nicola Duffett) is at "sixes and sevens," tending to her husband, George, who's "touched," presumably from the Second World War. The effect on George from his wife's need to fight and the rift it causes between she and Rita, like so much else in the script, betrays a clumsy construction that too often pokes through the pretty sixties wallpaper of the story. It's a device to create tension, making the eventual reconciliation between the two women all the more satisfying.
As for Sally Hawkins and her Rita, it takes both a while to find themselves in the broad roles they're given. Ms. Hawkins has an off-kilter charm about her, something that served her so well in the lead role in Mike Leigh's Happy Go Lucky. In that film, she played a woman of such unassailable good cheer that she seemed almost deranged at times. As Rita, Hawkins often shows a slightly stunned smile, mouth a bit ajar with a minute upturn of the eyes, contemplating her moppy period hairdo as if it has perched on her head like a stray bird.
But as Rita finds her voice, Hawkins finds her feet. The women's strike eventually affects the entire plant, putting Rita's husband, Eddie, and many of the men out of work as well. For a time, Rita and her colleagues get little assistance or sympathy from stereotypically fat cat union officials or from their supposed comrades in the plant. Initially supportive, Eddie (Daniel Mays, a man of such quintessentially English appearance that it would seem appropriate that he should be stored safely away at production's end like a valuable prop and trundled out to provide convincing period flesh and bone, as he has in films like Vera Drake, Atonement and The Bank Job) grows petulant when Rita's crusade keeps her away from the family and him away from his job. He stops her as she's leaving for an important union conference so he can speak his piece: "I try me best..I 'ave a go. I mean, Christ, I like a drink, but I'm not out on the beer every night, or screwing other women, or...and I've never once raised me hand to ya, ever, or the kids." Eddy can see by the look on Rita's face that she's less than impressed by what he's said: "You're a saint, now. Is that what you're tellin' me, Eddie? You're a bleedin' saint because you give us an even break? That is as it should be! Jesus! What do you think this strike's been all about, eh?...For Chrissake, Eddie, that's as it should be! You try and understand that." The last words, the repetition of "as it should be," is spoken by Hawkins as by anyone so indignant that words are not really spoken so much as expelled. A rousing speech to a union convention follows for Rita, but the confrontation with her husband is both the film and Hawkins at their best.
A film ostensibly about female characters and the English working class would be better served, it would seem, if peopled with three dimensional women and a bit more social realism. But if you're in the market for some uplift at the theater, you could find worse company these days.
Perhaps the most fully rounded female character in Made in Dagenham is, arguably, the Secretary of State, Barbara Castle. The role might as well have been written for Miranda Richardson. She gets many of the script's best lines, usually lashed out when she's lost patience with two of her male underlings, "dunderheads," as she rightfully refers to them. The real Ms. Castle did meet with the strikers and eventually put the Equal Pay Act through Parliament in 1970, making Britain a leader among industrialized nations on the issue. Enjoying the triumphant scene, as I was supposed to, when Castle and the strikers meet the press to proclaim their breakthrough, I could not completely banish a sense of melancholy, knowing the wicked that was that way coming, in the form of Margaret Thatcher. It seemed sad that just ten years after such a real triumph for women and working people in general, the unions and working classes would be so devastated by Thatcher's policies. But maybe that's a simplification of my own.
In addition to the welcome bookending of Desmond Dekker tunes, the Made in Dagenham soundtrack is varied and a bit less predictable than the film to which it occasionally plays juke box. Perhaps its just a matter of Beatles and Stones songs being too expensive to license. But among good period tunes like "Friday on My Mind" (The Easybeats) and "With a Girl Like You," (The Troggs), the inclusion of two Sandy Shaw songs is particuarly apt. Ms. Shaw,unfortunately little known in this country, is something of a legend in her native Britain. Her version of the Bacharach/David classic, "(There's) Always Something There To Remind Me," featured on the soundtrack, went to #1 in Britain in 1964. She also sings "Made in Dagenham," written for the film by Billy Bragg. Ms. Shaw actually worked in the Dagenham Ford Plant before turning to music. Dubbed "The Diva of Dagenham," she came to symbolize the swinging 60's in London, also picking up the description, "the barefoot pop princess of the 1960's." Even if you choose not to take the ultimately happy ride that is Made in Dagenham, check out Sandie Shaw.
Here are two videos. One is her 1964 #1. The other is a vesion of The Smiths "Hand in Glove," which she performs with the band. Morrissey has long been one of Sandie Shaw's more fervent admirers.

Wakey wakey – rise and…zzzz!
If you aren't a morning person, sometimes getting out of bed can be the biggest hurdle you face all day. Ok, slight exaggeration, but it's hard, especially now the clocks are about to go back and mess with our body clock. So we thought we'd share six tips for getting out of bed in the morning – it's all about mind over matter!
The clock change isn't so bad this time, as we gain an extra hour in bed, but getting out of bed in the winter is always more difficult because of the dreary mornings and temperature drop.
So here is our quick and easy guide to helping you get out of bed:
Turn the heat up
It's bad enough having to leave the sanctuary of your warm bed, but getting out of that cocoon into the cold air is not going to appeal to anyone. Set your heating to come on an hour before your alarm and it will take the chill out of the air.
Get an early night
We know this is obvious but we also know how tempting one more episode of Orange is the New Black is…Put Netflix down and go to bed. Scientists now think that our phones and tablets emit an LED light that can stop our brains from feeling sleepy. So try putting down your devices for an hour before you go to sleep.
Shower ASAP!
If turning on the heating isn't an option, then as soon as you leave your bed, get in the shower! It's simple: out of the warmth of bed and into the warmth of a shower. Just remember to wait for it to warm up!
Move your alarm clock or smartphone
If you can't reach it, you have to get out of bed to turn it off (this completely doesn't work if you turn it off then get back into bed..!) There are some gadgets on the market to help with this, including an alarm clock that flies around your room like a helicopter and one that rolls off your bedside table. We think the novelty would wear off in a day or two of chasing it around the bedroom, but in case you wanted to see, check out Clocky, the runaway clock.
Keep a glass of water nearby
Having a few sips of some water as soon as you wake up can apparently wake your entire body. It starts all the functions happening as if you were coming out of a mini hibernation.
Don't draw all the curtains
Try and leave just a crack in the curtains or a blind open halfway. The lighter the room, the more quickly you will wake up and adjust to your surroundings. After the clocks go back, the mornings should get lighter!
So there we have it! Do you have a foolproof way to get out of bed in the morning? We'd love to hear it @tweetjanes
