We're visiting Switzerland and will be in Zermatt from April 7 to April 13. We are wondering if there is a train we can take from Zermatt to Chamonix on April 13? Is so what are the connections and how do we locate the timetable? thanks
Hi dudes52 and welcome to MySwissAlps!
There are no direct trains on this route. You would transfer usually in Visp and Martigny. You can search for train connections on the Swiss railway network (SBB) here.

And he did so without playing a game.
In the final contest of the 2017 Challenge Cup regular-season, Holy Cross Kirby Group doubled the C.B.S. That Pro Look Strikers 4-2 at King George V Park Wednesday night. Jake Warren scored twice for Holy Cross, giving him 16 on the season, but he would have needed a lot more to overtake Forsey, who finished with 21.
It is the third Challenge Cup scoring title for Forsey, who also topped the tables in 2013 (with Holy Cross) and 2014 (with Feildians). Last year, he was runner-up to Stefan Slaney of St. Lawrence.
Wednesday's result didn't have any affect on the final standings. Holy Cross finishes second to the defending champion St. Lawrence Laurentians, and those teams will meet Friday, Sept. 1 in the 1-2 playoff, the opening game of the 2017 Challenge Cup championship tournament being held over the Labour Day weekend at King George V.
In a second game that Friday, Forsey and third-place Mount Pearl take on fourth-place Feildians Ernst and Young.
The winner of the 1-2 matchup will advance directly to Sunday's final, while the loser will take its second chance into a Saturday semifinal. The other semifinalist will be the winner of the 3-4 game.
What Wednesday's game did do was give Holy Cross the title of highest scoring team in the league, with 50 goals on the season, one more than St. Lawrence. The Laurentians were by far the stingiest team in the league, allowing just 12 goals and posting 13 shutouts in 23 games.
And while the Srirkers didn't make the playoffs, they did have the biggest season-to-season turnaround. C.B.S. went from a 2016 that saw them go winless while registering just three points to a 2017 performance that featured seven wins, 25 points and had the Strikers in playoff contention heading into the final weekend of the regular season.

Putting Your Stamp On It: Budget, DIY Accent Wall for the Nursery
Kate and her husband were preparing a travel-inspired nursery for their daughter Dasha and decided to make an accent wall. Not only is it DIY, it's very budget-friendly and only took them about 5 hours to complete.
Kate describes the project which is easily reproducible with stamps of any theme or motif you like:
We used 3 rubber stamps ('postcard', 'bicycle' and one of the basic pattern) and acrylic paint in 3 colors from the room color palette (green, brown and bronze). 5 hours of stamping and voilà, the wall is ready. It mostly resembles wallpaper but in a lighter and transparent way. Our daughter really likes exploring patterns and pointing details in the wall.
Thanks for sharing, Kate! Readers, find Kate at her blog Jaune.

Being a runner has certainly improved my life in more ways than I could possibly count. I'm a calmer, happier and more self-fulfilled person when I'm running. Life without running is to me like life without internet: it sucks.
Opposed to what most people think it doesn't really take me any effort to go running – therefore I have a hard time explaining to people that I'm not especially disciplined but just a runner (actually with any other sport I'm pretty bad – I'd do it for 2 or 3 weeks and then start slacking off -.-'). It's like those naturally skinny people that claim even though they try they can't gain a pound (I'm the first one to be jealous of that condition :P). It does not really have anything to do with determination or the kind of discipline normal people have to raise in order to do it – it's just there. And for me this applies to running.
There're only few moments or periods in my life where that kinda sucks – during hiking high in the mountains (who wants to run uphill for half an hour???), at the beach (ever run in sand? yep, NOT funny) or – like right now – during periods of extremely cold weather, also called winter.
Now in Germany I had to deal with that as well which made me go running effectively once or twice a week. Even though the temperature also contributed to that it was mostly the ice and snow I was trying to avoid. In some winters that made me go to fitness studios in search of a treadmill, in others I just endured it and settled with going fewer times.
In Taiyuan, however, this proves to become a huge problem. The average daytime (!) temperature here was in the past three weeks around -14° (for the American readers – that's like 7°F) and any runner will tell you that this is seriously NOT the kind of temperature where you wanna go running anymore. It's not even healthy, I'm pretty sure about that. Also the alternative treadmill is hard to get since you'd have to be a member of a fitness studio to gain access to that and my Chinese is way too bad to manage that task (don't really have any desire to join one here, either – could kill me).
Now what happens when a running addict is deprived of his sport is that at some point – sometimes it takes a week but usually you can go on for a couple of weeks – you're gonna get really squirrely. And I mean that literally. You can't really calm down anymore and have this itching feeling THAT YOU NEED TO GO RUNNING RIGHT NOW. Believe me, there's hardly a more annoying feeling (maybe same category as resisting a bad chocolate craving for days) in the whole world. It will deprive you of your sleep. It'll take over your thoughts. In short – it'll make you go running.
Now as I am in Taiyuan right now, today was the day I had to give in. After a little more than two weeks (and trying at home strength training as an alternative – but like I said I'm not the most disciplined person in the world) I couldn't put it off anymore – and went running today (-13°) not sure if I'd be making it back – ever. It was every bit as bad as you'd imagine it – my lung was not exactly happy about ice-air, my fingers were freezing off, my legs were numb the entire time – but when I came back I was the most content person in the whole world. As bad as it was to me it was pure bliss.
That also made me think I should describe a bit of running culture and my running experience in China. The first one is comparatively easy – there is none. I'm not entirely sure if this also applies to summer time in China but even if it is I think it's safe to say that running as a sport has not yet arrived in China. In my entire time of staying here (remember, also Beijing for nearly 2 months and up to 5 times/week running) I might have seen about 30 runners. In China! With 1,2 billion people! I think you get what I'm talking about. Personally I think it's a shame (well, not today but let's say above -10°) but it makes it an even more unique experience since now you're not only a weird looking 老外 (laowai or foreigner) anymore – no, you're also the crazy person running around in parks!
So let's move on to the best (and the weirdest) running experiences I had here:
- One thing in I remember in particular was my race with a biker that one time in Beijing. I was totally on a runner's high and running as fast as I could (last mile). Then there was this biker trying to round me but of course I couldn't let him win and speeded up even more. It was most probably the weirdest sight ever for Chinese people if they see a foreigner chasing a bike. I remember the staring and I can tell you 99% hadn't seen anything like that before;)
- My second best experience was right after visiting the forbidden city. Me and my friend were already running late to meet up with the others who had already seen it and after a whole lot of begging I got him to run with me back. Takes you usually about 10 min to get there if you're fast but with all the stopping and arguing about going on it took us like 20 min. But imagine the stares you get when you're NOT ONLY a foreigner and a runner BUT ALSO in normal clothes! Certainly memorable;)
- This experience actually sucked pretty bad. Being a dog owner myself I'd never tell people they should put their dogs on the leash all the time. However, I do expect from the dogs in exchange to not be chasing me. Unfortunately that's exactly what happened a couple of times to me when I went running (though I also gotta tell you that 90% of the dogs I encountered would do no such thing) with one being particularly bad: I was running and saw this cute puppy when it started chasing me. Trying to get away as fast as I could I started speeding up and actually was able to escape. But when I turned around just to make sure I really lost him I tripped and hurt my foot so bad that I wasn't able to run (or walk for that matter) for the entire next week – which really sucked since I was badly into running that time. Needless to say I didn't run that part of my route ever again.
- Some of the usual stuff I kinda just wanna name: When I was running here a lot of the time people would starting waving their hands and shouting random stuff in English. In the beginning I just shyly waved back, now I go all out and do some crazy-ass running especially for them. Also sometimes they would start running when they see me coming (especially kids tend to do that) so that I feel obligated to round them with double-speed. 😛
- Also funny are those phases when (especially while listening to your sports remix) you just feel like dancing and naturally start to do so while running. Combining weird hobbies in public (dancing and running) certainly get you most of the attention of whoever you encounter.
Of course there's a lot more to say about running (like tasting the coal in the air in Taiyuan) but I think this were some of the most important remarks I can make. And sorry for not posting sth about New Year, I might do that tomorrow.
See ya;)

Clarabelle's eggs started hatching last Sunday! She had two hatch on Sunday, one on Tuesday and one on Wednesday.
We also had an egg that she accidentally broke. I left it for a day, but then assumed that the chick had died. I brought it in the house and candled the egg, and didn't see any movement or anything. I peeled the top of the shell off at the air cell and saw a perfect little chick. I was getting ready to dispose of it when the chick wiggled. I proceeded to wrap the egg up and put it in a make-shift incubator in our bathroom. The chick survived all day and tried to hatch, but wasn't able to and didn't make it. I felt really bad, but there wasn't anything else I could have done, and if I had tried to help it anymore I could have done more harm than good.

Korea is a very interesting place. I spent about a month there right around this time last year. My excuse for going was to attend the travel writing and photography workshop in Seoul put on by GEP.
I wanted to do some exploration before and after the workshop, so I flew in early and spent some time in Incheon. I went to Jayu Park, Wolmi Island, the fish markets.
I always got a kick out of the locals wanting to take their picture with me. Turn around is fair play, I'm usually taking plenty of pictures of the locals. They loved it. 😉
I took the train down to Okpo, on Geoje Island. I was hoping to visit an old friend I used to work with. He still worked for the same company but they had been keeping him in Korea for 2-3 years. I wanted to try to find something similar myself. Turns out he was out of town, but I had a good time exploring around town and talking to some of the other expats there.
I made my way back up to Busan. I met an online friend through a meetup group and we met for dinner. She showed me around town and even to tour her ship at the Maritime Academy. I got to meet some of the students and was very impressed with their organization there.
I used to work as a captain of a tuna boat and it turns out the company we worked for had their home office right around the corner from where I was staying. I tried to meetup with some of the guys I used to work for, but they were pretty busy and we never did make it happen. I spent my time in Busan wandering around taking pictures of the harbor, the markets, the parks.
The train back to Seoul was clean, efficient and cheap. I was ready to meet my fellow travel writers the next day.
I had a blast wandering around the city with the group. We were there for the Lotus Lantern Festival and the photos we got were great! We went to the old castle, to a talk about tea, on a food tour, we even got to go visit the tunnels to North Korea!
I really didn't want to leave, there was still so much to see and do. The people were so friendly and helpful, most spoke at least some English so I had no real problems with communication or finding my way around. The scenery was gorgeous! Very green, with a rocky mountainous coastline. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The food was fresh, healthy and cheap (and plenty of it). It was easy to get around and really pretty affordable (I stayed in local hotels not the fancy ones for foreigners). I would love a chance to go back again. 🙂
*Another post for the A to Z Challenge. 🙂

Spare me the old lady with children that can't find work bit, it doesn't change the fact that the western way of life has become the norm in much of the world, so you have nothing to complain about.
Can you post these statistics here?
But why not just ignore it? Theres not much you can do to change peoples opinions most of the time.
We have all heard this said many many times on ATS and elsewhere:
Homosexuality leads to extinction.
Accepting homosexuality is the catalyst.
I am creating this thread in the hope we can all be as honest and objective as possible. Please put forth evidence to substantiate the premise, or evidence to the contrary. My hope is that it will become clear this gloomy fear is not supported by observable truths. My hope is then people on ATS will stop spreading what I strongly feel is misinformation.

"Progressive" culture has polarized our society where really there was no divide. That is their effect.
This is also applicable to gay people. They have been used from day one by "progressives" who usurped the gay rights movement and made it into something they take credit for.
There is no reason why a gay man or woman can not be conservative.
In fact it would make more sense for them to be conservative since conservatives do not force their ideals on anyone. They have a live and let live mentality...
THE VERY heart of the gay rights movement.
your OP was great by the way. Well thought out and presented, though I disagree.
...were you serious? Sorry, but I have to ask.

Last night I didn't go to bed until 3am, so I slept until 7:45am, which is a total of 5 hours of sleep (instead of my regular 4.5).
If you want to take marketing your music to another level, then I can't recommend enough John Oszajca's music marketing manifesto. My favorite aspect of his complete program was his stance on email marketing, where he really leverages the that "1000 true fans" philosophy.
His website is a bit hokey (Flaming guitars? Seriously?), but his program really shows independant artists how to get a leg-up on signed artists.
Today was easier for me to wake up than yesterday, but I feel it was because I'm just more used to being tired, and my discipline might be increasing, rather than my body physically adjust to the change.
Although I definitely still felt very tired, I didn't have that same lethargic feeling that I would normally feel when I have to wake up early, so that might be a sign of some physical adaptation.
Unlike yesterday's early nap, which was interrupted and non-regenerative, today I fell asleep quite quickly, and quite deeply.
I also woke up in an incredibly alert state. When my alarm went off, my torso literally sprung out of my bed. I still felt tired enough that I wanted to sleep more, but I was equally ready to wake up and just go at it.
Once again, it's possible that I'm just realizing that I don't need to feel awake to be motivated, but I really do think my mind is beginning to genuinely adjust to the changes. It's not JUST discipline that's growing (although that is certainly happening too).
As you can tell from my notes above, engaging in activities and moving around has been a key factor in my sanity.
Doing these things has allowed me to still have a somewhat pleasant and happy day, even though I feel so lagged down by sleep.
Overall, day 3 has been better than day 2. I was very worried last night that I wouldn't be able to wake up on my own (Mike went home), but I did it just fine.
It's interesting to try and explain this whole sleep method to different people. Some are incredulous, and don't take it seriously, but they still want to "humor" me, or at least be polite about it.
Other people are more blunt about saying that they think it's bologna. It's a different way of thinking, and I can see the negative peer pressure becoming a big issue for anyone who wants to try it.
To be honest, there are some points where I would rather have not mentioned it at all, so at least I don't need to defend myself.
All I know, is that at the end of all of this, if it works I'll be able to continue on with the full confidence of saying "Well I feel incredibly energetic and not tired at all. What do you think of that?"
I feel it would be hard to debate me on such a topic if I'm living & breathing proof that such a schedule working just fine.
Of course, if might not work out. So I'll try not to open my mouth too much, lest I regret it later.

Praise the Lord readers, I pray that in this testimony/story you will find hope if you are hopeless, forgiveness if you are hurt, and the peace of God if you are troubled. I attended the faith tab upc church in juntion city kansas for years . At time that I attended LE Westburg was the pastor who is now deceased, Darlene Westberg also in my attendance there and now Edwin Young. I will begin by saying that I am not bitter I am just stating my testimony of what and how God brought me through. I attended their academy school Apostolic Academy as a junior and high school student. Previuosly I attened the public school and was a honor roll and staight A student I was very smart and focused. I have so many testimonies to tell but I only have time for this one right now. At the time of my high school attendace I realized that a paticular pattern atook place from nithngr ade and beyond.My parents paid for my tutions with money from their pockets. The teachers were Mrs. Allbritton and Mrs. Rodriguez.It was during those years and at such a young age of 16 and 17 that I experineced verbal and spiritual abuse instead of an education.I did not learn anything for three years. At the time I dated someone and one of the teachers would tell them not to to talk to me, I did not know why. I obeyed the rules of the church and school, was smart and never committed any sexual activities such as fornication with any one which was oppisite of what the person I had dated had done, so I was totally confused.The teachers were paid to teach with the money that came from my parents pockets. I would pretend that I was sick every morning and my mother would have to force me to go to school.I came home almost everyday from school crying from the verbal insults, attacks and false accusations.The teachers would start off the day with their routine parayer and devotion and then befor you knewhours later it was soon time for lunch, this would go on day after day. They would start by saying God gave them a word and then they would start describing situations without saying who they were talking about right in our faces. One teacher agreed that this was not right and that it was fine if we went to the Pastor about the costant gossiping and personal attacks. I was tired and weary of going to school everyday not afraid of a bully, but of being talked about everyday in my face, I had to learn and fight this battle on my own at such an early age intstead of being taught grammer and math it was hard for me to focus on anything after the attacks because I had to constantly wipe tears from my face.The issuse was then addresed to the pastor LE Westberg who said we should have came in sooner and that he would take care of the situation.I remember remember explaaining to him but coul only get one sentence out and then I burst into tears it because it was even to painful to explain. I cannot say he handelded the situation because the teacher continued to gossip and and talk about me and others behind my back and in my face. It was then when I asked God why?where do I go to now?do I seek help from others outside of the church?It was a very furstrating feeling and experience as a young person with no answerers.
God has been gracious to me, he allowed me to graduate from the school I attended with my degree. I remembered struggling in my Biology class not even knowing what a telescope was and ever seeing it before. But by the grace of God I made an A in my Biololgy class and others even though I did not enter college prepared.due to the years of unfair and a lack of proper education.My testimony is that God allowed me to learn and teach myself new things that I did not know even though, I had experienced numerous actions from negetivity and viscious bashings from unbriddled tongues.. during my previous high school years. I have forgiven and those situations and others only made me a stonger individual
