Jeeeez have I really not blogged since October? How on earth did I not notice that! Life seems to be going about amillion miles an hour lately. It's not that things haven't happened, I just haven't really thought to write about it.
We've just had a lovely (and exhausting?) couple of weeks off for Christmas with the kidlets. It was absolutely the best Christmas ever. To be able to feel Alice's excitement when it came to arranging the carrot for Rudolph and the cookies – she insisted on baking gingerbread – for santa, was just amazing. And by feel I mean actually feel - she was physically shaking with excitement a lot of the time! Every morning on the way up to Christmas I would wake up to an Alice 2 inches from my face saying "9 days to go mummy". Slightly adorable, slightly terrifying.
The girls were so incredibly behaved over Christmas day. I'd prepared myself for some epic breakdowns over sharing presents and over excitement, but they were beautiful. They played, and shared, and were both just so so happy. It helped that we were at home I think, and they could play with their own stuff, but they were lovely.
So, time for a bit of a catch up.
Dear Alice, you are now 45 months old.
You are so tall and slender now! You would survive pretty much on snacks and air given the opportunity, so it can be a bit of a battle at tea time. We're currently we're just going with – here is your food. If you do not eat it, you will be hungry. You don't really eat much meat, you would survive entirely on green beans and corny cob given half the chance I'm sure.
You love nursery. You love the social aspect, and seeing all your friends. You love running round like a crazy person. You are learning so much every day, and when you come home you are just shattered. You told me a few weeks ago that your full name had 7 syllables and then proceeded to clap it out for me. You are constantly correcting me ("Mummy don't be silly, that is not true") and telling me all the exciting things you have learned. I am so happy you like it and it's a pleasure to see you grow. I love the nursery, and I think your teacher is brilliant.
Just before Christmas was your school nativity, where you were a twinkly star. Watching you stood there singing Away In A Manager was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen and I am so incredibly glad that I could be there. The last week at nursery, you did the panto, 2 lots of nativity, nursery party, and Santa came in. You were shattered and grumpy, but I know you had a lovely time.
The past few weeks you've improved your pen control ("pinchy parrot"!) and now write and draw beautifully. I love the imagination and thought that goes into your drawings. This morning before school you drew me, daddy, baby Violet and Amelia, and it's the nicest picture ever. Unfortunately you did draw it red pen on red paper so it's a little difficult to photograph / see but I know it's there! You wrote beautiful placecards on Christmas day for everyone, and you insisted on writing all your own Christmas cards this year.
You are so good at singing and dancing and you are always telling me "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the show is about to begin" followed by 25 minutes of twirling and leg pointing. You got a few more dressing up clothes for Christmas and often the show requires a costume change. You will refuse any help, and currently want to get dressed on your own every day. Pants took 30 minutes last week, but you did tell me that pants were tricky.
The past few weeks at home with everyone you have been lovely, with patches of crazy. You still wake up at 6 / 6.30, so by the evening you are just shattered and grumpy. The one person you always have time for is Violet, although you've taken to calling her Cubby or Vi. You love her to pieces, as long as she's not trying to use the toy your currently using. Which is 98% of the time. I love seeing you chase each other round and tickle chase, it really makes my heart sore, but my ears hurt!
You've taken to wanting to perform a Crufts like routine every evening where you have to jump through the hoop - both of you. I have no idea where you got this from but it keeps you occupied for hours. I'm thinking if we can work up to lighting the hoop perhaps we'll get on Britains Got Talent?
It snowed too! You loved the snow and made a snowman called Snowy but then you got cold and I made chicken soup and it was the wrong kind of chicken soup.
Love you pudding cup!
Baby Violet you are now 16 months old, and it's fair to say you are a chunky monkey. You will eat anything and everything that isn't nailed down. Last night you stole and apple off your sister and ate the whole thing behind the sofa – core and all. This was maybe an hour after a Sunday dinner, and a whole orange for pudding. You are a lovely cuddly eating machine!
You completely dote on your big sister, and want to follow her round, do whatever she's doing and basically be her shadow. Your favourite thing to play with is Alice's pushchair and your little babies you got for Christmas. You sit them in the highchair with you and you feed them and blow on their food – it is literally the nicest thing I've ever seen. You normally carry 2 babies round with you ,1 under each arm. You push round and snuggle them and tuck them into bed with their bottles – aww!
We went to Wheelgate the other day and you went on the train with me for the first time! I forget how big you are getting, in my head you're still super tiny but you are running round and playing games now. You run really quickly, and have completely changed shaped from a baby to getting to be a toddler.
You just want to be involved in anything with people. You are still very content and happy, but have had a few tantrums these past few weeks! One lasted 45 minutes, because I wouldn't let you have the toilet brush. You do have a completely different personality to Alice though – you're more wary of new people and new places. You want to be snuggled and hugged and carried much more, and you want to care for things. Alice always (and still does) just goes in headfirst, where you like to take a step back and assess what's going on.
Although you don't say much more, we know what you mean now. You make the right noises, and point at the right things. You could read books for hours, just changing the pages and pointing at all the pictures. You love pop up books – "there it is!", and finding the bear.
You have gone back to waking up in the night most nights for some milk, which is frustrating!! We can't possibly feed you any more, but if we don't take you milk you just shout for hours! Cuddles won't do – you are hangry! A bit wearing, but not forever I suppose. Hopefully.
You change so much every day, and I do love my girls. Best Christmas ever, and here's to many more of the same.
With love and light xo

Dear Alice and Violet - 42 Months and 13 Months
Dear Alice,
You are now 42 months old. I had only just added that up and it's a bit mental really. What did we do without you?
A few weeks ago you started nursery school every morning for 3 hours. The first few days you were absolutely fine but then had a bit of a melt down and had a week of pulling my leg and screaming and crying. It was very difficult to leave you and there were a few tears shed by everyone, but now it is your favourite place in the world!
You love spending time with Phoebe and Amelia at nursery. You've told me you don't play with the boys as they pinch your nose. Fair enough!
You are so funny to talk to! Last week mama told you to just have a sit down for 5 mins, to which you responded "It's not all about you you know mama." You told me there was a "right palava" at nursery at snack time! You asked if we could do a "sophie" on the train. Turns out you meant selfie! Happy to oblige - see below!
At the weekend, Violet wasn't very well so I took you to Wheelgate on the Sunday to get out for a few hours, just the 2 of us. It was so nice to spend time just with you and I must make more of an effort to. We go to ballet on a Saturday, but that's just you and it was nice to spend some mummy-Alice time!
You want to play hide and seek all the time. This morning you informed me your name wasn't Alice, and refused to respond to anything other than "Hidey Worm".
It's getting closer to Halloween, which I think may be your favourite time of the year? You are a little obsessed with "spooky things" like witches and bats etc. Most mornings after breakfast you're allowed 10 minutes on the iPad while we clear up, and you always request spooky videos. At Wheelgate they had halloween things everywhere, and you insisted on having your picture taken with every single monster. Even though they were mostly the same!
We went to Rufford a few weeks ago, and it was a wartime / vintage weekend. Punch and Judy were there, which you completely loved. Apart from the fact you call it Punch and Julie. And it had Hitler in who you keep asking me about which is a little awkward!
You like to cuddle up in bed and hide every night before bathtime, and every time I try to cuddle you extra tight because you seem to be getting so big - physically and mentally. You can read letters, count to 100 with help, and you are just not even a toddler anymore. I'd like to keep you at this age forever please!
Dear Violet,
You are now 13 months old, and the squidgiest cutest little bundle in the entire world.
You aren't walking yet, and I was so sure you would be soon! Mama is buying you your first shoes for your birthday and at this rate it will be Christmas! I just looked back through the blog and apparently Alice didn't walk till 14 /15 months so you're taking after your sister. You cruise round the house, and want to walk holding people's hands constantly. You've taken a few odd steps, but don't seem super bothered.
Talking-wise you're still saying "t" for ta, "b" for ball, but my fave is "row row" and then you rock backwards and forwards, then scream for the crocodile! It is literally the most adorable thing in the entire world.
I'm really struggling being at work and leaving you so much, well both of you. I feel like I don't get the time to spend with my little baby who won't be a baby for much longer, and that's difficult.
You've been full of cold for the past few days, and really unhappy and off your food. You spent all Saturday curled up on the sofa with me in and out of sleep. I think part of it is the cold, and the other part is that you're cutting 6 teeth at the same time. It's hard because I'm so used to seeing you eat more than Alice, and to see you refusing food and crying is just so out of character for you.
Both of you are absolutely lovely! Just wishing at the moment I could spend more time with the both of you. I feel like I'm never going to regret being skint, but every day I regret being away from my little ones.
With love and light xo

Happy (Almost!) Birthday Baby Violet
Just a quick one tonight as I might not get chance tomorrow. But, Happy Birthday to my sweet Baby Violet!
This time last year, I was trying to decide if my waters had broken, and having a wander round the block to try and make something happen. I walked up to my mum and dads, and Alice had gone off to Mitch's mum and dads for a sleepover incase something did happen. We walked through the forest, and it was a day exactly like today. Warm, golden, and completely calm.
This time last year, I was so worried. Worried about logistical things - I was super overdue and trying to argue against induction. Worried about my home birth I so desperately wanted. Absolutely worried about my little (or not so little!) baby, and worried about my big Alice and how she would cope with the changes.
I wish I could say I'm not worried right now, but I think that is a constant as a parent!!
But, I no longer have to worry about how I could possibly love anyone as much as my Alice. Through the past year my heart has filled and expanded so much it sometimes feels like my chest could burst. My love for both my girls has grown - seeing them both interact and learn together makes me incredibly proud, and I feel so blessed to have such angels.
Of course this past year has been difficult, seemingly impossible at times. In the beginning, I had no idea how on earth we would ever get to 1 year without one of us dying of exhaustion! I couldn't have coped without my amazing family and friends, offering help, support, biscuits and advice. Mainly biscuits. Everything's better with biscuits.
My beautiful baby Violet (do I have to stop adding the baby part yet?) is the light of my life. She is calm, sweet, beautiful, and just a perfect baby. She is the happiest soul I have ever met! She lights up when anyone talks to her, particularly Alice, and I just can't imagine a time without her in my life.
I know this next year will bring it's own challenges - seriously, what do I do if they both go run in opposite directions? But, every year with my girls is a complete gift.
Happy Birthday pudding. I love you bery bery much.
With love and light xo

Dear Alice and Violet - 40 months and 11 months!
Dear Violet,
So you are now 11 months old and I just can't believe you've been with us for almost a year! But on the other hand, I can't imagine for one second how we got by without your lovely smiling face!
You had a review with the health visitor a few weeks ago, and you weigh 21 lb 8oz and are 77cm long.
She was really impressed with how good you are, and particularly impressed with your recorder skills!! At the moment you love anything musical - the recorder, or the harmonica, or keyboard. You love to copy what anyone else is doing, and pass the harmonica back and forwards making noises. You like to sing and dance, although you're dancing looks a bit like twerking!
You are walking holding my hands, and using the furniture to scootle round. This past month you stood up on your own (you sit down any time I take a camera out!) and keep doing it when you're not realising. You're also doing the weird half walk / half crawl that makes you look a bit like a spider! I think you'll be walking at some time in the next month.
You will say "t" for ta, and make "b" noises for ball, and Mitch swears you say dada! You are pretty much constantly babbling and talking about something, I just have no idea what you are saying.
You are so happy the majority of the time, and just like to be surrounded by people. You like smiling and cuddling and just generally playing the part of the lovely happy baby! Everyone always comments on how placid and laid back you are - you are just content being loved. You brighten up my morning with your lovely smile and giggles, and you never fail to cheer me up.
You had been sleeping through for the past month or so, but you're back to up once a night again, perhaps with your teeth? You have 6 little teeth now and particularly enjoy nibbling on anyone who stays still long enough! (In hindsight after reading this back - you were getting a cold and back to sleeping through - hurrah!)
You are a bit of a destroyer at the moment, much to Alice's annoyance! You like knocking down towers, squidging playdough, making a mess, throwing things on the floor, and generally getting in Alice's way. She gets quite frustrated, but we're trying to explain you just want to play. Sometimes I'm fairly sure you're getting your own back!!
Food wise, you just love meat. If I never tried to give you anything else you would be overjoyed! You are just a little carnivore and will throw anything none meat related on the floor! You like chicken, beef, pork, ham, fish and anything that's not a vegetable - the complete opposite of your sister. Between the 2 of you, you'd demolish just about anything!
Alice calls you "cubby" and she is always asking where you are. If she gets up in the morning, and you're still in bed, she's forever asking for you and cuddles. If we meet anyone, she loves to introduce them to "my baby Violet" and tell them she's "the best baby sister ever". Although she also spends half her time pushing you away from the iPad.
We have booked you a little birthday party for next month that you won't even understand, but I just want to get everyone together to celebrate how brilliant you are, and how lucky we've been to have you for a whole year!!
Dear Alice,
You are 40 months old this month, and in a few weeks you start at a school nursery! You are so excited, and pretty much every day ask if it's September yet. I'm hoping this excitement lasts for when you actually go! You've had a couple of visits and you loved it, plus it helps that Amelia and Phoebe are going to be there at the same time. You have a little nursery uniform, and you look soooo big and grown up in it!
You like singing own songs, making up words, and just singing your way through the day. One of your favourite things to do at the moment is replace words in nursery rhymes with the word poo, such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Poo" or "The Grand Ol' Duke of Poo". You think it is literally the funniest thing anyone has ever done ever!
You also like telling jokes, and I've tried to teach you a few but you like to make your own up more. Such as "Why did the tomatoes cross the road? Bears." Then you laugh manically!
We started working on recognised letters and numbers a few weeks ago, as you seemed quite interested. Well you've picked them all up! You recognise all the numbers 1-10 and most of the letters with a few common mix ups (b and d etc). I am absolutely amazed by how quickly you've picked it all up. For some reason, you still miss the number 15 out when you're camping though - every single time!
You had a little haircut last month as your ends were getting a bit tangley, so we cut your hair to just below chin length, and it's made you look so much bigger! I miss your long hair a little and your first little curls, but it looks much healthier now.
You are such a lovely little soul. You are funny and witty and clever, and you like to be in charge. You throw massive tantrums and huge diva strops, but when it's all over and you come for a cuddle I just want to bottle you up. You can be quite a sensitive little one and sometimes it's easy to forget when we're all joking and playing that you're only 3, and sometimes take things a bit literally! I am so nervous about you starting nursery - you come across so loud and proud and over the top, but I know you get your feelings hurt quite easily and I'm nervous about how you'll be with the other little ones. You're so clever, but sometimes can be a bit overwhelming and in your face when playing with others, probably because you've never spent huge amounts of time with others and mostly just with me. It keeps me awake at night thinking about you making friends and being happy - but I know it's right for you.
A few weeks ago you had a wasp disaster! You'd been on a bug walk with the childminder, and the leader of the walk disturbed a wasps nest! You got off lightly compared to some of the others, but were still stung 10ish times. Daddy had to come fetch you as it was my first day back, and I felt awful all afternoon, but Kinder Eggs and cuddles fixed it.
You also had your preschool injections, which I was terrified about! I knew this time you would know it was me who had taken you, and I thought you'd hate me! But you were brave and we went to McDonalds after, where you weed on the floor - c'est la vie!
You are so happy with the childminder. I feel like we completely lucked out with someone who is so lovely, and it just means I don't have to worry about you or baby Violet at all when I'm at work. You go places, explore, play games and learn so much with her!
Your sleep is finally on the up these past few weeks, after a few months of 5am get ups! We have finally got it to 6 (hopefully!) and that's fine with me. You like to get "snuggly wuggly" under a blanket with me which is my favourite place to be.
You are both my absolute favourite people in the world.
With love and light xo

Determinants of the Japan premium: actions speak louder than words
Since August 1995, Japanese banks have had to pay a premium on Eurodollar and Euroyen interbank loans relative to their U.S. and U.K. competitors. This so-called "Japan premium" provides a market indicator of investor anxiety about the ability of Japanese banks to repay loans. We examine the determinants of the Japan premium and find that events indicating concrete actions by the Japanese government reduced the Japan premium. We find that the failure of Yamaichi Securities, which was characterized by large undisclosed losses, contributed to increases in the Japan premium, while the failure of Hokkaido Takushoku did not.

England handed Test debuts to Sam Robson, Moeen Ali and Chris Jordan as Sri Lanka won the toss in the first Test and opted to bowl first.
Skipper Alastair Cook had confirmed Robson and Ali on Wednesday, but not Jordan. The former Barbados player got the nod though which meant Chris Woakes was the man to miss out.
Yorkshire seamer Liam Plunkett also returned to the Test side for the first time since 2007.
Sri Lanka have reshuffled a little from the side that played in the one-day series, with Dimuth Karunaratne and Kaushal Silva opening the batting and Rangana Herath providing the spin option.
England: Alastair Cook, Sam Robson, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Moeen Ali, Matt Prior, Chris Jordan, Stuart Broad, Liam Plunkett, James Anderson.

Floor Sweepers
When it comes to cleaning our house/office we are always on a look out for easier and faster ways to accomplish the necessary yet tedious tasks. Cleaning tasks can be made easier by using a electric or cordless floor sweeper because it eliminates the messy needs of using a dustpan and broom. These sweepers are available in a wide range of models. You can have to choose one that best suit your floor type.
How to empty a cordless floor sweeper
•Before emptying, turn of the sweeper by pressing the power button on the nozzle.
•Gently remove the dust cup out of the machine. Ensure that you do not spill any of the contents as dust cup is open.
•Once the dust cup is emptied, wash it well with soft detergent and water. Dry using a lint-free towel. If there is dampness, the dirt and debris will clump together and also stick to the cup.
•Remember to replace the dust cup before you next use the floor sweeper.
GoVacuum.com is an online shopping mall from where you can purchase all your cleaning solutions at reasonable price. You can also compare the prices of the top brands that we have in our stock. Some the world class that we deal with include Bisell, Hoky, Oreck and many more.

ADP Says Private Employers Add 158,000 Jobs in March: Hot Trends
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include ADP report after the payrolls processor said that private employers added 158,000 jobs in March, the fewest in five months and below economists' expectations of 200,000 jobs.
In February, private employers added 237,000 jobs and 177,000 were added in January.
The figures were held back by stalled hiring in the construction sector, where no jobs were added despite average monthly gains of 29,000 in the three months before, likely tied to rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Sandy.
The report comes ahead of of the government's labor market report on Friday, which accounts for both public and private employment. It's expected that the labor market report will show a gain in overall nonfarm payrolls of 200,000 last month, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 7.7%, although the ADP report suggests that the government's figures may come in below forecasts.
Monsanto (MON - Get Report) is trending after the seedmaker reported a 22% increase in fiscal second-quarter profit, beating expectations. The company reported earnings of $1.48 billion, or $2.74 a share, last quarter, compared to a profit of $1.21 billion, or $2.24 a share, a year ago. Excluding items, the company earned $2.73 a share, exceeding analysts' expectations of earnings of $2.58 a share. Monsanto's better-than-expected earnings were driven by solid cord seed and trait sales, which increased 16.5% from a year ago to $3.28 billion. The company raised its full-year guidance to earnings per share of $4.40 to $4.50 in the full year. Analysts had been looking for earnings of $4.58. It also confirmed free cash flow guidance of $1.8 billion to $2 billion.
Subaru is another popular search. The automaker is recalling about 200,000 Legacy and Outback vehicles due to brake problems. The recall pertains to model years 2005 through 2009 and vehicles sold in 20 states and Washington, D.C. Subaru said it is issuing the recall as salty water can cause the brake lines to rust and leak fluid. If that occurs, vehicles may have trouble stopping, which could lead to an accident.

Book Review: Epidemiologists saving the world
If you are fascinated by TV dramas like "House" or simply real-life medical mysteries like SARS and swine flu, Alexandra Levitt's "Deadly Outbreaks" might just hit the spot.
Book Review: Epidemiologists saving the world
For those who are fascinated by House, Contagion, or simply real-life medical mysteries like SARS and swine flu, the new book Deadly Outbreaks: How Medical Detectives Save Lives Threatened by Killer Pandemics, Exotic Viruses, and Drug-Resistant Parasites might just hit the spot. Written by Alexandra Levitt, a scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it describes the suspenseful, intriguing, and often dangerous work of "medical detectives" — the epidemiologists who solve conundrums that threaten the public's health. Levitt's clear and simple writing makes the book accessible and interesting for non-scientists as well as those well-versed in the field.
In each of the seven chapters, Levitt chronicles a real epidemic that both mystified and challenged public health professionals. She profiles the medical detectives who were instrumental in leading the search for a solution, or at the very least, an explanation for the issue at hand.
If you thought epidemiology was all about lab coats and microscopes, think again. Levitt highlights the importance of cross-discipline collaboration in solving public health challenges and shows that answers may remain hidden without outside perspectives. Often these collaborations are with predictable partners, such as epidemiologists consulting with primary care providers during a suspected hantavirus epidemic in New Mexico. Other times, the cooperation between epidemiologists and business leaders is the crucial link, as was the case with a Salmonella outbreak in a Minnesota ice cream factory. More broadly, Levitt argues that collaboration is required between public and private sectors and between the local, state, and national levels. After all, medical detective work—just like crime scene forensics—does not occur in a vacuum.
Of local interest is the chapter on the infamous Legionnaire's disease (a potentially fatal pneumonia) outbreak of 1976, which terrified Pennsylvania residents and eventually led to the closure of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia, site of the American Legion convention that supplied the name of the disease. Also of note is a chapter profiling James Buehler, a longtime CDC leader who recently retired from the agency and is now a professor of health and management at the Drexel University School of Public Health. Levitt describes Buehler's involvement in a heart-wrenching case of infant deaths in the cardiology ward of a Toronto hospital. By using "epi curves" (graphs plotting deaths against time, deaths on each nurse's watch, etc.), Buehler and his CDC colleague helped solve the case. Regrettably, the epidemiologists were also subjected to a torrent of brutal cross-examinations by lawyers defending individual nurses or other parties, and justice was never dealt. Levitt depicts such stories with the suspense of a Law and Order episode, widening the book's appeal.
Deadly Outbreaks also provides critical take-away messages for the practice of public health in general. Levitt notes the necessity of collaboration between the fields of veterinary medicine/animal health and public health. Most emerging infectious diseases that threaten human health originated in animals, and the welfare, health, and industrial use of animal populations have an enormous impact on our own health. This notion of collaboration has been widely recognized by organizations such as the One Health Initiative, which promotes uniting human, animal, and environmental health to achieve advancements in health care. The concept's "worldwide strategy" calls for synergy among physicians, osteopaths, nurses, veterinarians, dentists, and other health professionals to achieve things like "biomedical research discoveries, enhancing public health efficiency, expanding the scientific knowledge base, and improving medical education and clinical care." As the public health community should be well aware, Levitt argues that it will take more than a tunnel-vision approach to improve health in our society, particularly with the increased threat of animal-borne illness.
The author also highlights the importance of flexibility in public health preparedness. Specifically, there are times when it is necessary to divert resources from one division (e.g., bioterrorism) to another division (infectious disease control) as unexpected crises arise. Levitt and others have noted that the overemphasis on bioterrorism prevention after 9/11 may have contributed to the lack of preparedness in responding to SARS, H1N1 (swine flu), and other incidents not related to bioterrorism. In contrast, Levitt praises public health leaders who have quickly agreed to divert resources from one division to another in times of need. This type of adaptability is crucial, especially in a field where the biggest threats often come as a surprise. Levitt also recognizes the public health workers' challenge in addressing outbreaks without causing further panic. A delicate balance is required to inform people of what they should to do protect themselves without mobilizing the "worried well" — those who are healthy but fear becoming sick, flocking to medical providers and tying up services for those who need them.
Levitt succeeds in portraying epidemiologists as ordinary people who are sometimes faced with remarkable challenges to their consciences, such as the dilemma of serving an individual's interest versus protecting the population's health. These challenges are indeed real, and Levitt's work hopefully will bring further admiration for the public health leaders who overcome them on a daily basis. With any luck, Levitt's book might also inspire the next generation of young scientists to pursue the exciting field of epidemiology.

Allandale Waterfront GO Station,[1][2] was built just south of Allandale Station, a historic train station that occupies a large property on the southern shore of Lake Simcoe in the waterfront area of Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
Construction of the new facility began in 2009. GO Transit announced on 15 June 2011 that the station would open in the autumn of 2011,[3][4] but construction delayed its opening until January 2012. Bus service to the station began on the 28 January 2012, with the train service following two days later.[5]
A ceremonial train trip from Allandale Waterfront GO Station to Bradford GO Station officially opened the station on 29 January 2012.[6]
Early years[edit]
The Ontario, Simcoe and Huron Union Railroad (OS&HURR) first built a station here in 1853. The current structure, the fourth station building on the site, was built in 1904 by Richard Scruton, and opened by then-operator Grand Trunk Railway on June 19, 1905.[7][8] The station provided passenger service for the Grand Trunk and later the Canadian National Railway and Via Rail until closing in 1980.[8] It briefly reopened as a GO passenger facility from 1990 to 1993. In 1996 the CNR lifted rails between Allandale and Longford.
The Allandale Community Development Corporation or 'ACDC' (with City interests) purchased the buildings and adjacent 7 acres (28,000 m2) from CNR after train service discontinued in the 1980s.[9] ACDC then sold the station to CHUM Ltd in 2000.
CHUM ownership[edit]
CHUM Ltd. purchased the 6.9 acres (28,000 m2) of land, including the station buildings for $1,050,000 in 2000. CHUM planned to restore the Allandale Station building as part of their plan to develop of a new broadcast centre on the site, though changed their plan in 2004. In 2007 CHUM agreed to sell the property to the City for the same amount CHUM originally paid. CHUM received a Charitable Donation Tax Receipt reflecting the increased value of the property since 2000 largely due to the restoration and site works completed by CHUM.[10]
Construction of the new Allandale Waterfront GO Station (located adjacent to the historic Allandale Station) broke ground in spring 2010 and the station officially opened on 28 January 2012. Redevelopment of the station cost approximately $5 million.[11]
The area of the historic station is currently undergoing two remaining stages of redevelopment: (i) the City of Barrie is undertaking the restoration of the historic Allandale Station, and (ii) the City of Barrie is undertaking the restoration of Gowan Street, which borders the southern edge of the station lands. The area is expected to become a new transportation and cultural hub of the city once all the construction is complete.
Heritage station buildings[edit]
The station buildings comprise a federally-designated heritage railway station protected by the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act.[12] The Italianate structures are near the southwest shore of Kempenfeldt Bay in Lake Simcoe, separated from it by a public park.[13][14] The station complex was originally adjacent to Kempenfeldt Bay until the land behind the station was infilled and levelled to build a rail yard.[13]
The station complex consists of a station building, an office building, and a restaurant adjacent to each other along the rail line. They have a uniform roof pitch, and form an atypical layout for a railway station.[13] The low-pitched roof and deep overhanging eaves are indicative of Prairie School design influence.[14] Two of the buildings were designed in 1904 by the Detroit firm Spier & Rohns.[14]
The interior and exterior features of the buildings are provincially protected under an Ontario Heritage Trust conservation easement.[14] The station building was considered the "flagship of the Grand Trunk" upon its opening.[13]
The Barrie line has weekday service consisting of seven trains southbound to Union Station in the morning, and seven trains northbound from Union Station in the afternoon. During the months of July and August, bidirectional weekend service is also provided. As of June 29, 2013, the service consists of 4 trains in each direction between Allandale Waterfront Station and Union Station. [15]

The Allandale station site was subject of an archeological excavation, during which objects were recovered from the Uren substage of the Middle Ontario Iroquoian period.[14] It has been dated to the late 12th to early 13th century, and was used as a fishing station by the Iroquois.[14] It is the only documented fishing station from the Uren period, and one of few sites of that period to have been discovered.[14]
The site is regarded by archeologists as a temporary location "for exploitation of local fish resources".[16] Numerous fish remains were found in the site's midden, but no longhouses were found there.[16]
Analysis of the fish remains indicates that various species were caught for consumption at this site. These include species in the Catostomidae family (110 White Sucker, 23 Longnose Sucker, and 103 specimens from other Catostomus species), Percidae family (34 Yellow perch and 1 Walleye), as well as 12 Ictaluridae, 14 largemouth bass and 4 smallmouth bass, 5 Centrarchidae, and specimens from several other species.[16]
In 2011, human bone fragment remains were discovered underneath the crawl space of the office building at the site during an excavation for an archeological site assessment as part of grading work for the new train station.[17] These were later determined to have been in the fill used as backfill for the foundation, but was of indeterminate origin.[17] An incisor found amongst those remains was interpreted to be part of the Uren archeological material, but data is insufficient to ascertain its ultimate origin.[17]

Tory Burch Fall 2012
>> For Fall 2012, Tory Burch's polished uptown girl gets a bit undone. The designer was inspired by the idea of a "prim girl who's fallen under the spell of the wrong kind of guy," and so this season's offering is ladylike, slim, and tinged with an undercurrent of illicit appeal.

ZMA long term
ZMA long term
I am considering using ZMA long term as a natural Aromatase Inhibitor for life long testosterone replacemenet therapy. Although I am not sure of its mechinism for raising testosterone levels or its longterm safety.
I have heard it should be cycled and have heard of someone who had problems stopping ZMA after 2 months of use, I also dont know if it even is an Aromatase Inhibitor.
Anyone know how its works or if it is safe long term?

ZMA is important long term for anyone training hard (consistently). As Dr.D said, these should be daily requirements.
ZMA is not necessary, but convienient to get the Zinc and Mag. -

Some kids think that year round schooling is a bad thing, that they wouldn't get enough time off to have fun or that school is too boring to stay in all year. Year round schooling is an amazing idea not only does it give the chance for kids in the U.S. to catch up on academics for schooling and competing with other countries for new advances in the world, but EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT! Education is the foundation of this world, and the growing economy, people who focus on studying and schooling more than likely have a higher percentage of making it in their dream field of work. Sorry to hand it to you but the reality is here, education is becoming more and more important as all these new jobs are being offered. Going to school year round also doesn't mean that you get no brakes! Year round schooling actually means more brakes in the year, just for shorter time periods. On average people forget 40% of what the y have learned in the past 20 minutes, and 77% of what they learned over the past 6 six days! And for a months record it can very between 90-98% of things learned in the past month are forgotten. For these reasons I would agree that going to school year round would be extraordinarily helpful to most students unless of course you already forgot what i was talking about
It will help kids with their test scores. And make them smarter because they are having extra time and it is like a head start in the next grade. And if you dont go its kind of like you are dropping out of school fo ra little while. And then you would just be going back. So its waisting your time. Just stay for year round school because it will help a lot of kids.
With today's standings of how countries rank against each other on academic performance we can definitely see a trend that year round schooling takes its toll when it comes to performance. Now, when kids, parents, and educators hear year round school they immediately think that it is not a good idea because 'Kids need a break'. Well, as a student, i can tell you that at least 30% of my break is spent doing summer work for the upcoming year. This is not work to refresh my knowledge learned in the previous year though, but new material for classes I haven't even begun yet. So, why not lighten the workload completely and reduce knowledge lost by 'Breaking' in a different fashion. Three 1 month long breaks during Winter, Spring and end of Summer. By doing this we reduce the material kids lose over a long period of 3 months during summer and actually give our students a true vacation by lightening their load of over-break assignments.
Yes and no, this is due to the fact that year-round school has its advantages and disadvantages and they can be numerous in comparison. For example some academic research indicates that year long schooling can be extremely beneficial in a number of ways. It provides students with a constant routine, where there are no breaks that hinder the learning process. Usually when there are breaks in school, for say a month or longer, we tend to lose a lot of pertinent information that should be constantly remembered. Vacations in the like can disrupt this process; however one of the main topics that exists would be well-being. Does year long schooling cause insurmountable stress that could be devastating to a student's well-being? This is a question that needs further research.
Our schooling system is outdated. Teachers needing a break is not a reason for summers off. Parents could still plan vacations. They would just be at different times of the year. In fact, vacations places may be less crowded because you were able to visit at times of the year when the entire country wasn't already off for vacation. I feel we should add 4 weeks in the summer and just have 2 weeks off where summer traditionally starts and then go to school 4 weeks and then have another 2 weeks off at the end of the traditional summer break. I feel that in areas where kids get into trouble there would be less crime by kids and better grades.
I do believe that kids should go to school all year. First of all, we would still only go to school for 180 days, but with more frequent, evenly spaced breaks, for a shorter period of time. In traditional schooling, many teachers take time reviewing in the fall, because kids forget everything. With all year schooling, they wouldn't need to review so much. Also, with more breaks, the students could release the stress they have about school. You wouldn't have to worry about no summer break, though, because they still would have it, except it might be only 1 month instead of 2 or 3.
- if your worried about summer jobs and things like that. I don't believe that's a good enough reason at all. Teens have part time jobs during the school year all if the time. Sure a job is easier to handle with extra time off school but everyone knows what they can and can't handle.
- year round schooling has shown to improve testing scores and over all academic records.
•over long breaks such as summer break students tend to forget the things they learned over the school year.
• year round schooling has even shown to help students with disabilities improve.
• year round schooling doesn't automatically means students don't get a break. The break is just separated into different weeks instead if just one long 2 month vacation. On top of that there are still weekends and some year round schools systems have Friday off as well as Sat. And Sun.
- as of 2003 there are 3,181 schools that have a year round system
-The national dropout rate is 5%, while the dropout rate for students enrolled in year-round schooling is only 2%.
Most kids say school is boring when they get 60% on a test, but when they improve they certainly feel more excited to learn, it is all in a matter of how well they do and how to get in to university, the key is support, whether you are a teacher or a parent, support your child throughout the process they will feel inspired to learn.
Yes because with year round school its harder for students to forget facts told previously. If you look on www.Compclass.Us it says that test scores have gone up in year round svc hook and more schools in general are becoming year round schools.Year round schooling is just simply the better route to take.
Studies show that the United states IQ average is 98, which is hardly average at all. Hong Kong has the number 1 highest IQ average and they go to school year round so I think if they can than we can too! The United States is smart but with school year round we could be over the top.
I think no because I already think we have to much school anyway and kids and teachers need a break. Another reason I think they should not have year round school is because they will keep changing the curriculum. If we do when kids are in 6th grade their going to be learning 9th grade curriculum.
I am a student in high school, and I find that teachers don't understand that they aren't the only ones giving homework, and that there are seven other teachers willing to waste our time as well. Other students are often vulgar and don't understand me at all, and school is honestly the most depressing and horrific part of my life so far.
Definitely not. For all those people who are complaining about foreign countries getting ahead of us, the problem isn't that we have less time in school. The problem is that we have less quality time in school. The answer is raising the quality of the education we already have, rather than giving us MORE time in education that is already not as good as other countries'.
Everyone needs a break. This includes students. A lot of students use the summers to work as much as they can to save up money for college, go create memories on family trips or enjoy time with their friends. School doesn't need to be all year round for any age group.
No breaks from school in a whole year is very unhealthy! It's to much pressure on kids they already have enough school work for now! It would not make any sense at all if kids attended school all year round! It's just not fair for kids we the United States are not very good in school because of too much homework and school work!
I don't think we should go all year around because if we did we would never have a summer to look forward to, or have any family or friends time to make memories. It would be very cruel to make kids learn 12hours every day and the teachers need a break also.
Because many students would be absent most of the days of school. We students have younger siblings and have part-time jobs. Working and baby-sitting would take up the majority of the day, you would barely have enough sleep to even get up in the morning to go to school. Therefore, it is not a wise choice to have year-round school because it is only setting us up for failure.
It would cost too much to be able to afford paying for each student for a full year. In Massachusetts it would cost $1,300 for every student. With schools facing budget cuts they can not afford to pay the staff to work the extra hours. And when a school does not have enough money they have to stop programs such as music and other extracurricular activities to be able to use that money and pay for the students and staff. Also they would minimize staff, causing thousands of people to lose their jobs. Also, cutting these activities are cutting other learning experiences.
Many teachers and students are wanting to have a summer to relax with their family and to go to the beach. We also need go visit our relatives or go on vacation. The teachers would have a hard time keeping the students in line. The students would want to not be cooped up in the classroom all day long.
Evidence that academic achievement improves with year-round education is inconclusive.
Maintenance must be done at night and on weekends (all overtime).
Some maintenance requires more than 15 to 20 days to be completed.
At intermediate and high school grade levels, family disruptions may ensue.
Teachers must pack and move everything after every session.
Athletic scheduling and other activities (such as band) are a problem.
Communication among staff and staff training are disrupted when 25 percent are absent at all times.
Transportation costs may increase.
Current facilities may not be designed for year-round education. Storage of materials is an on-site problem.
There is increased placement of children in combination classes.
There are increased administrative costs for designing schedules.
Children jumping tracks cause a possible loss of community, identity, and scheduling problems.
There are administrative costs to cover the principal's vacation.
Having an educational calendar that is be facilities based is not recommended.
Accommodating legislated school reform, such as extended school year and mandatory summer school, may be more difficult.
