Thanks to these cat meow-liday inns, you and your furry pal can both kick back on vacation.
The claws won’t be out during a vacation at these homes away from homes.
If you're planning a lengthy trip down south this winter but you aren't sure what to do with your feline friend, don't fret—your kitty can have a get away all of its own.
Have you ever heard of luxury boarding kennels? If not, it's time. There are two options within the HRM where your cat can relax in a private room of its own, complete with an en-suite balcony. To get the scoop on these spots, we spoke with the two entrepreneurs about the ins and outs of their posh pet cares.
Both Kitty Care Inn (2376 Highway #2, Milford) and The Cat's Inn (145 Ferguson's Cove Road, Halifax) offer nightly rates for felines while owners are out of town. Services include a clean place to stay, feeding, light grooming, necessary medical care and optional socialization and cuddle opportunities.
And these inns aren't just any old place for your kitty to rest its head— their suites are akin to palaces for cats.
When Marilyn Weagle moved from Ontario to Nova Scotia 15 years ago, she was on the look-out for a bed and breakfast to take over. Instead, she stumbled upon a unique piece of real estate in Milford: An established cat boarding house up for sale, located on residential land.
"I just knew as soon as I walked onto the property," she remembers. With the help of her partner, Weagle runs the Kitty Care Inn seven days a week, hosting anywhere from five to 50 cats at a time.
Christmas is Kitty Care's busiest time, and when it's that full, the two are pretty much working non-stop. "It's a crazy time for us," she says.
Weagle says the care the cat receives depends on their temperament—if they're playful, playtime will be provided, but if they prefer some alone time, that should be respected.
"The longer I deal with cats, the longer I realize they're very much like people," she says. "They all have their own personalities, and their own little quirks," she says. "Really, they communicate pretty clearly to someone who takes the time to try and understand a cat."
Lisa Wash has always spent her time with animals in some capacity. Before opening her Cat's Inn business 22 years ago, Wash worked at the Animal House pet store, and then for a local veterinarian for six years. During her time there, she noticed the need for a long-term boarding house where cats wouldn't be kept in kennels the way they are in vet hospitals (which are meant for surgery recovery).
Plus, she wanted a lifestyle change. "I had always known I'd wanted to do my own thing one day," she says, "and then we bought our property out in Ferguson's Cove and thought it would be perfect here."
Wash and her husband built a cat hotel in their backyard, "and it's been going great ever since," she says. Like Kitty Care, her inn is extremely busy over Christmas, when they've had up to 60 cats with a waiting list of 30 or more.
"I should probably open a cat cafe," she says, laughing while describing the excitement people get when they drop off their feline and get to visit with the other kitties.
"It's a pretty good job actually, I never really think of it as a job," she says.
With a property that overlooks the harbour, Wash feels very fortunate to spend her days at home alongside new and old feline friends.
Kitty Care Inn prices start at $16 plus tax. Monthly fees are also offered, starting at $375. The Cat's Inn ranges from $16.50 to $24.50 a night, depending on suite selection.

It started slowly. High up in the bandstand, arms raised above his head, he clapped. A short silence, and a resounding boom echoed back. Then it got faster and faster until all 10,000 people were standing on the benches cheering, howling and applauding in delight. It was right then that I knew this wasn’t going to be an ordinary weekend.
The music kicked in – a jubilant, thumping oompah band, and the soundtrack to the most German event of them all: Oktoberfest, the world’s biggest beer festival.
This famous Munich festival, known locally as Wiesn, originally started as a wedding celebration for King Ludwig I in 1810, but has since spawned similar celebrations across the globe. Nothing, though, can compare to the original. I mean, can you really compete with golden beers as big as your head, steaming plates of pork knuckle and seven million merrymakers who drink the equivalent of three Olympic-sized swimming pools of beer each year?
This year, I made my beer dreams come true with Topdeck.
Our adventure began as the coach pulled us closer to Munich. We woke to the smooth sound of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get It On’ as our legendary guide John gently informed us we were about to be part of a Bavarian tradition dating back generations. After donning our lederhosen and dirndls, we were soon surrounded by similarly attired folk striding through the gates and passing the Bavaria statue that looks down protectively over the festival grounds.
As far as the eye could see, theme park rides shot into the sky, and the air was rich with the smell of roasting meats as vendors sold sizzling bratwursts, chicken and crispy fish. The beer tents were as large as cathedrals – fitting, considering the many thousands who come on this most holy beer pilgrimage.
Keen to dive into the deep end, we headed for the notorious Hofbrauhaus, the largest tent at Oktoberfest with 10,000 drinkers. In this one tent alone, over 700,000 litres of beer are guzzled each year. There are 14 main tents (and a few smaller ones), each with a distinct personality. For example, Ochsenbraterei Spatenbräu serves spit-roasted ox, while Hacker-Festzelt, with its blue and white painted Bavarian sky, is the most Instagram-friendly.
Out of all of them, my favourite tent was undoubtedly the Hacker-Festhalle. With the blue skies above you and a cold stein in your hand you can't help but feel like you've been transported to Bavarian heaven!
Once we’d grabbed our table, a valiant fräulein arrived to serve us an armful of golden beers.
Day 2 of Oktoberfest. I start to realise how awesome group travel is. After travelling from London with @topdecktravel our coach finally arrived in Munich. This guy is our awesome coach leader John, who woke us up with Marvin Gaye's 'Let's get it on' and then joined us in the beer hall. This pic is taken in the Hofbrau Festhalle, the most notorious tent where 10,000 drinkers enjoy the strongest beers at Oktoberfest.
Soon everyone was grinning from ear to ear, flush with good feeling. The beer (‘ein Maß’ if you want to order like a local) is strong yet drinkable – so take your time. As I guzzled down the amber nectar, I was reminded that I was tasting a brewing tradition dating back almost exactly 500 years. In fact, German breweries by law only use three ingredients: water, barley and hops, thanks to the 1516 German Beer Purity Law or Reinheitsgebot.
From brass bands playing ear-pleasing oompah to crowd pleasers like Bruce Channel’s ‘Hey Baby’ and Robbie Williams’ ‘Angels’, it isn’t long until the benches become full-on dance floors. You’ll laugh, you’ll say cheers (prost in German) and you’ll make friends with everyone around you.
Giddy like schoolchildren, we decided to check out the awesome theme park rides (the roller coaster is my top tip) before hitting the hay. We had two full days in the festival grounds, as well as a half day spent exploring Munich on a walking tour that offers some fascinating insights into the history of the city.
Smelling faintly of beer and pork and with folk songs ringing in our ears, all too soon we had to say goodbye to the hallowed grounds of Wiesn. We left behind the twinkling lights of the fairground rides, Ferris wheels and gingerbread houses. As the merry roar faded into the distance, I knew my drinking buddies and the crazy stories we’d made were something I’d treasure for many years to come.

OTTAWA—If Canada were to pursue energy efficiency improvements more aggressively, it could reduce its energy consumption by up to 15 per cent by 2035.
This is according to a new Conference Board of Canada report, which has Canada ranked among the most energy-intensive of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries, as well as among the highest greenhouse gas emitters per dollar of GDP produced.
The report finds key areas for energy savings potential include lighting, space heating and household electronics for residences, while in the commercial sector, lighting, computer and HVAC equipment hold the most promise.
The Conference Board says that in Canada, electricity and natural gas utilities are largely responsible for the implementation of energy efficiency measures and the largest efficiency improvements will result from their actions, such as incentive programs to install energy efficient equipment or appliances, conducting energy audits, and performing energy efficient retrofits.
The report says the measures could also include a broader suite of policy instruments, such as land-use measures, equipment and building performance standards, and renewable subsidies.
“While energy efficiency is associated with several benefits, energy efficient measures have not been fully adopted to the extent that it would be economically efficient to do so, in part due to market and consumers behavioural failures,” said Len Coad; research director; Energy, Environment and Transportation Policy; The Conference Board of Canada.
The National Energy Board expects that Canada’s energy demand will continue to grow at an average annual rate of 0.7 per cent, reaching 13,868 petajoules by 2040.
The Conference Board says applying a range of energy efficiency improvements could result in as much as a 15 per cent reduction in energy consumption forecasted by the NEB.
However, the report says that the contribution of energy efficiency policies to halting climate change will be smaller. Electricity in Canada currently comes from sources that are approximately 80 per cent renewable or that are very low emission, and this could be near 100 per cent by 2035.
The Conference Board says the most important contribution energy efficiency gains can make in the fight against rising global temperatures is to reduce the need for hydrocarbons to provide heat.

In the weeks leading into the academic year, UCLA cross country runners were given the chance to train like professional athletes.
Every year, the team engages in a three-week training camp at Mammoth Lakes, California, for a chance to train at altitude. Redshirt sophomore Tyler Janes said the goal of the camp is to bring the team closer together.
In addition to the friendly competitions outside of practice, the team also builds confidence and chemistry during its intrasquad competitions.
According to sophomore Christina Rice, the experienced members of the team told the underclassmen to appreciate the relatively stress-free environment while they could.
Now that classes have started again, the athletes have the added challenge of finding a balance between the stressors of both running and their studies.
The training camp has paid early dividends, with the men’s team claiming a first- and second-place finish at Fresno, California, and Stanford, respectively. The women’s team has earned second-, first-, and fourth-place finishes at Fresno, Santa Clarita, California, and Stanford, respectively, to open the season.
UCLA cross country will compete Saturday at the Wisconsin Pre-Nationals in Madison, Wisconsin, and at the Santa Clara Bronco Invitational in Sunnyvale, California.

Lodestar, Shirley Collins’ first album in 38 years, was released in November 2016.
Shirley invited Brighton Morris to perform at the album launches, which took place in early November in Lewes, and then at Rough Trade East, London where we danced ‘Over the Hills’. Watch it here.
Hearing Shirley sing in public again at these events was great enough, but it was just a taster of what was to come.

Brighton Morris danced pre-show and during the performance at the Barbican Hall London (17 February 2017) and Brighton Dome (14 May 2017). On most of the tour dates Glen Redman danced ‘Southover’ solo and closed the concerts with solo jig encore.

"The application of FLEXICOKING technology will help the Sinochem Hongrun refinery optimize resid upgrading by minimizing capital investment and energy consumption."
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExxonMobil Catalysts and Licensing LLC today announced an agreement with Sinochem Hongrun Petrochemical Co. Limited, to license ExxonMobil’s FLEXICOKING™ technology to build a resid upgrading unit at Sinochem Hongrun’s High-End Chemical Park located in Binhai Economic-Technological Development Area, Weifang City, Shandong Province, People’s Republic of China.
This grassroots unit will process about 1.2 million metric tons of vacuum residue feedstock per year and enable Sinochem Hongrun to produce high quality liquid products including clean transportation fuels and chemical feedstocks as well as clean-burning fuel gas. The project is currently in the engineering design phase and targeted for start-up in 2020.
The process technology also provides significant environmental advantages by eliminating open air coke handling and coal transportation and reducing fired heater emissions due to the clean-burning fuel gas produced by the FLEXICOKING unit.
ExxonMobil’s FLEXICOKING technology is a commercially proven, continuous fluid-bed technology that thermally converts heavy oils – such as vacuum resid, oil sands bitumen, deasphalter bottoms and FCC bottoms – to lighter, more valuable products. By integrating fluid coking with air-steam gasification, FLEXICOKING technology substantially eliminates petroleum coke production while providing a clean fuel gas. As a result, the process offers comparatively greater flexibility when upgrading residuum.
Sinochem Hongrun Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is engaged in refining and petrochemical producing owning the producing license awarded by the state. We have won the honors of National Best Enterprises in both Contract Performing and Credit, National Top 100 Petrochemical Companies, Shandong Top 100 Largest Enterprises, and Leading Enterprises of Weifang.

Improve your bottom line by saving more electricity.
#1. Turn off your appliances when you leave.
It’s not uncommon for computers, fax machines, printers and other appliances to be left on all night. Unfortunately, this can use a large amount of unnecessary electricity. Turn off any and all appliances around your office when you leave for the day. It’s also important to unplug things and turn off power strips, as some appliances can still use energy even when they are powered off.
#2. Invest in motion sensors or timers.
It’s always a good idea to turn off lights in empty rooms, but you can’t always rely on your employees to do so. By installing a motion sensor, you can ensure that the light always gets shut off, no matter what. Another option is to install a timer on your lights so that no one has to remember to turn them off at the end of the day.
These are just a couple of the many things you can do to save more electricity in your office. Stay tuned for our next blog to learn more.

British prime minister David Cameron is gearing up to fight the toughest campaign of his life to win reelection on May 7.
Nevertheless, his announcement earlier this week that he intends to serve out two terms — and no more — has started the race to determine his successor. Despite Cameron’s efforts to signal that he will step down in 2020, there’s no guarantee that Cameron will be so lucky. The next Conservative Party leadership race could start immediately after the British election if Cameron leads the party to defeat or, possibly, after 2017 when Cameron has pledged (if reelected) to hold a referendum on continuing the United Kingdom’s membership in the European Union.
But even if the Tories win a renewed mandate (an outcome that seems more likely today than at any time in the past two or three years), a second Cameron term will now become even more consumed by the debate among his would-be successors to define the party’s future. Notwithstanding the planned 2017 EU referendum, the party’s next leader will determine whether the Conservatives should be relatively more pro-Europe or anti-Europe in an era that features the rise Nigel Farage’s populist and eurosceptic UK Independence Party (UKIP). The next Tory leader will also face a fragmenting political environment that appears to be transitioning from a two-party to a multi-party system and a growing sense of constitutional crisis in the aftermath of last September’s referendum on Scottish independence. Moreover, the next Tory leader will also have to choose between two strains of economic policy — a pro-market Thatcherite approach or the more centrist ‘one nation’ Tory approach of her predecessors that concedes a stronger role for government social welfare.
Obviously, a lot depends on timing — a leadership contest in 2015 could bring a different result than a contest in 2017 or 2019.
Cameron, in his remarks earlier this week, singled out Johnson as well as chancellor George Osborne and home secretary Theresa May as particularly strong candidates. Though Cameron almost certainly prefers Osborne, whose leadership stock is certainly on the rise as the economy improves, the two frontrunners today are clearly Johnson and May (pictured together above), whose personalities and approach to politics and government couldn’t be more different.
It was certainly the kind of move German chancellor Angela Merkel would never have made.
Surprising reporters and many members of his own party alike, British prime minister David Cameron earlier this week announced that he will not stand for a third term — that is, if he and the ruling Conservative Party win reelection on May 7.
George Osborne, the chancellor who’s taken as much heat as Cameron for the budget cuts of the past five years and who, insiders say, Cameron prefers as his successor.
It’s too soon to tell if the strategy will help Cameron and the Tories win what has become a very tight race with the center-left Labour Party. On the one hand, it’s a little presumptuous for a British prime minister to look past an election in just over five weeks’ time to proclaim that he won’t be running for reelection in five years’ time. Cameron’s shot at winning a second term is precarious enough as it is. Moreover, there’s a real question that he’s now made himself a lame duck for the second term, which promises to include a tough 2017 referendum on the country’s membership in the European Union if Cameron wins. What happens, by the way, if the Conservatives win a shaky minority government in May, lose a confidence vote in early 2016? Will Cameron resign when early elections follow? (Notwithstanding the new law purporting to establish fixed-term parliament.) Needless to say, it’s not the most intuitive step for a prime minister to launch a slow-motion leadership race so close to a general election.
On the other hand, it’s not out of character for Cameron, who’s never seemed to crave the premiership in the same way as former occupants of 10 Downing Street. It stands in contrast to Margaret Thatcher, who said he hoped to ‘go on and on’ after winning a third term and who finally left office after 11 years as a result of Tory regicide or to Labour prime minister Tony Blair, whose chancellor, Gordon Brown, pushed him out after a decade of intraparty sniping. Though the British media will spend this week talking about Cameron’s statement, the succession question will burn out by the time the real campaign begins, so you can expect relatively little off-the-record briefing about when Cameron will leave. His casual remarks end the speculation, for example, that he might resign after the 2017 referendum or in 2018. After all, if he hangs on until 2020 as he hopes, he will have served as the Conservative Party leader for fully 14 years — just as long as the Iron Lady herself.
Scotland votes: Should it stay or should it go?
The answer could change the economic, social and cultural outcomes of the lives of both English and Scottish residents for generations to come.
Does Venezuela need its own Margaret Thatcher?
Though the snap Venezuelan presidential election — just six days away — will likely have huge implications for the country’s economic policy, and though most economic commentators would agree that Venezuela is in dire need of economic reform, neither candidate seems especially keen on discussing those reforms in a campaign that’s been heavy on personality and emotions.
But the negative aspects of legacy of chavismo — a growing public sector and nationalized industries, ever-expanding army of bureaucrats, widespread power outages, crumbling infrastructure — sound an awful lot like much of the problems that the United Kingdom faced in the late 1970s.
Is Venezuela entering its own ‘winter of discontent?’ And if so, does it need a Margaret Thatcher?
When it comes to South America, Thatcher is most well-known for the Falklands War against Argentina in 1982 (see Thatcher pictured above during that war).
But one Venezuelan blogger has already argued that Romuló Betancourt, the first democratically elected president of Venezuela in 1958, was its ‘Thatcher.’ Betancourt’s major contribution was normalizing democratic elections and peaceful transfers of power, an institution that has so far continued in Venezuela without interruption, even throughout the chavismo era. Economically, the Betancourt government’s most notable achievement was land reform that boosted rural peasants.
Perhaps the better example of Thatcherite economics in Venezuela is the second term of Betancourt’s successor (and one-time interior minister) Carlos Andrés Pérez (pictured below). Despite presiding over the largesse of the oil bonanza that to the rest of the world was an oil crisis, Pérez (or ‘CAP’) returned to office with high hopes that he could unlock another era of plenty on a relatively populist campaign built on empty promises.
Upon election, he rapidly sought a $4.5 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund, in return for crushing reforms that included a tax overhaul, a reduction in tariffs and custom duties and privatizations of state-owned companies. But those reforms (the ‘paquete‘ or the ‘package’) most controversially caused the price of gasoline prices to rise (and the secondary price of public transportation) due to the elimination in Venezuela’s famous gasoline subsidy — to this day, Venezuelan gas prices are the lowest in the world, and Venezuelans believe cheap gas is practically a birthright.
Until then, Venezuelans had seen themselves as different, more civilized, more democratic, better than their Latin American neighbors. Thirty-one years of unbroken, stable, petrostate-funded democracy had made us terribly cocky. In a sense, the riots market Venezuela’s re-entry into Latin America. The country was no longer exceptional: just another hard-up Latin American country struggling to put its democracy on a stable footing.
Those riots ultimately led to the dismantling of Venezuela’s two-party system, CAP’s impeachment in 1993, and two coup attempts in 1992 — one in February 1992 by a little-known lieutenant colonel named Hugo Chávez, who would of course take power by democratic means just six years later in a landslide election victory.
So if Thatcherite policies ultimately paved the way for chavismo, could chavismo pave the way for a countervailing turn back to neoliberal reforms? Fast-forward two decades, and the country with the world’s largest proven reserves of petroleum finds itself with a budget deficit last year that equalled 17% of GDP and a public debt burden that’s now equal to 50% of GDP. So if he wins the presidential election, Chávez’s anointed successor Nicolás Maduro will have far fewer economic tools at his disposal than Chávez did to achieve his goals.
Opposition candidate Henrique Capriles certainly isn’t going around the country advocating the elimination of gasoline subsidies, but Capriles seems far likelier than Maduro to enact the kind of policy reforms that could balance Venezuelan finances back toward a more stable equilibrium.
But say what you will about the positive aspects of chavismo in reducing poverty in Venezuela and giving voice to a largely forgotten underclass excluded from the country’s oil wealth for a half-century, Venezuelan finances are hardly in great shape, and the winner of Sunday’s election will face significant financial pressures — all the more so if oil prices fall over the next six years.
We all woke up in the United States this morning to the news that Margaret Thatcher, the former prime minister of the United Kingdom, died at age 87.
There’s not much I can add (Andrew Sparrow’s live blog at The Guardian is a good place to start) to what will certainly be a week’s worth of paeans to someone who was undoubtedly the most consequential British prime minister since Winston Churchill — and, serving fully 11 years from 1979 to 1990, the United Kingdom’s longest-serving prime minister in the 20th century.
Friends in the Health Service told me that by the mid 1980s, psychiatrists engaged in the early diagnosis of their more disturbed patients ceased asking them for their own names and birth dates and so on, and asked instead for the name of the prime minister. If patients failed to remember that, they knew they were properly sunk.
You’ll hear over the next 48 hours the extent to which Thatcher changed Great Britain, Europe and the world, but most immediately, it’s remarkable the extent to which she changed the Conservative Party. Her influence still lives on today in Tory prime minister David Cameron’s government in the same way that Ronald Reagan’s ghost hovers the Republican Party, even today, in the United States.
It’s not just that she was a woman in a party of old men — German chancellor Angela Merkel won’t likely go down in history in the same breath as Thatcher.
It’s not just that she came from a humble background in a party of aristocracy — her predecessor Edward Heath came from an even more humble background.
It’s that she in many ways was the first truly conservative prime minister of Great Britain, in that her free market fervor really represented a radical departure from the paternal ‘One Nation Tory’ stance of her predecessors. It’s easy today to forget just how truly broken the UK economy had become in the late 1970s under Labour — strikes, inflation, economic malaise, rubbish uncollected in the streets. But she inherited a Britain that had reached a post-war nadir, and that turned around in her time in office.
She so transformed British politics that Labour prime minister Tony Blair, when he came to power in the landslide 1997 election, was essentially a Thatcherite — he not only pulled the Labour Party (‘New Labour’) far from its trade union roots, but he arguably pulled it to the right of the Old Tories under Heath and Macmillan.
The essence of Thatcherism was to oppose the status quo and bet on freedom—odd, since as a prim control freak, she was in some ways the embodiment of conservatism. She thought nations could become great only if individuals were set free. Her struggles had a theme: the right of individuals to run their own lives, as free as possible from the micromanagement of the state.

so if thatcherite policies ultimately paved the way for chavismo, could chavismo pave the way for a countervailing turn back to neoliberal reforms? fast-forward two decades, and the country with the world’s largest proven reserves of petroleum finds itself with a budget deficit last year that equalled 17% of gdp and a public debt burden that’s now equal to 50% of gdp. so if he wins the presidential election, chávez’s anointed successor nicolás maduro will have far fewer economic tools at his disposal than chávez did to achieve his goals.
opposition candidate henrique capriles certainly isn’t going around the country advocating the elimination of gasoline subsidies, but capriles seems far likelier than maduro to enact the kind of policy reforms that could balance venezuelan finances back toward a more stable equilibrium.
but say what you will about the positive aspects of chavismo in reducing poverty in venezuela and giving voice to a largely forgotten underclass excluded from the country’s oil wealth for a half-century, venezuelan finances are hardly in great shape, and the winner of sunday’s election will face significant financial pressures — all the more so if oil prices fall over the next six years.
we all woke up in the united states this morning to the news that margaret thatcher, the former prime minister of the united kingdom, died at age 87.
there’s not much i can add (andrew sparrow’s live blog at the guardian is a good place to start) to what will certainly be a week’s worth of paeans to someone who was undoubtedly the most consequential british prime minister since winston churchill — and, serving fully 11 years from 1979 to 1990, the united kingdom’s longest-serving prime minister in the 20th century.
friends in the health service told me that by the mid 1980s, psychiatrists engaged in the early diagnosis of their more disturbed patients ceased asking them for their own names and birth dates and so on, and asked instead for the name of the prime minister. if patients failed to remember that, they knew they were properly sunk.
you’ll hear over the next 48 hours the extent to which thatcher changed great britain, europe and the world, but most immediately, it’s remarkable the extent to which she changed the conservative party. her influence still lives on today in tory prime minister david cameron’s government in the same way that ronald reagan’s ghost hovers the republican party, even today, in the united states.
it’s not just that she was a woman in a party of old men — german chancellor angela merkel won’t likely go down in history in the same breath as thatcher.
it’s not just that she came from a humble background in a party of aristocracy — her predecessor edward heath came from an even more humble background.
it’s that she in many ways was the first truly conservative prime minister of great britain, in that her free market fervor really represented a radical departure from the paternal ‘one nation tory’ stance of her predecessors. it’s easy today to forget just how truly broken the uk economy had become in the late 1970s under labour — strikes, inflation, economic malaise, rubbish uncollected in the streets. but she inherited a britain that had reached a post-war nadir, and that turned around in her time in office.
she so transformed british politics that labour prime minister tony blair, when he came to power in the landslide 1997 election, was essentially a thatcherite — he not only pulled the labour party (‘new labour’) far from its trade union roots, but he arguably pulled it to the right of the old tories under heath and macmillan.
the essence of thatcherism was to oppose the status quo and bet on freedom—odd, since as a prim control freak, she was in some ways the embodiment of conservatism. she thought nations could become great only if individuals were set free. her struggles had a theme: the right of individuals to run their own lives, as free as possible from the micromanagement of the state.

As couples realize the importance of are sharing this experience together, Couples Massage is becoming really relevant and popular throughout the country. Friends and family are also seeing the benefits of receiving massages together. A great way to relax and rejuvenate both you and your loved one. Most couples massages are geared towards romantic partners, candles, fireplaces, fountains, champagne or sunsets may accentuate the atmosphere as well as exclusive areas just for them such as a hydro-therapy or infra-red saunas.
Couples massages can be useful in relieving the stress that can build up between two companions and can strengthen your relationship because you are are taking the time to commit to your health and you are doing this together, creating a wonderful experience and meaningful memories of your lives together.
Instead of watching TV or going to a restaurant together, couples massage can be used as a way for you and a romantic partner to connect, or even a loved one such as a Mom or a Friend, to spend quality time together and become closer in their relationships. Mother and Son, or Son and Father are also growing in popularity for those who specialize in these therapies.
Enjoying health, wellness and luxury therapeutic massages services create a deeper bond and connection with each other. In life, our relationships are pulled in so many directions with our responsibilities in life, such as work, kids, fun, working out, eating, relaxing, returning calls/emails/texts etc and enjoying nature or with your pet or even just plain chilling out! The time challenges are that these don’t automatically harmonize with each other for your partner or friends schedules! A real chill out massage retreat is most welcomed if you can find the right place that caters precisely to this and there are very few in Los Angeles that offer this type of retreat but check out Creative Chakra Spa and LPR Day Spa.
Enjoy the energetic healing flow of experiencing this deeply healing side-by-side serenity massage together in a soothing, spa environment. Couples massage is usually an after-thought on spa design where a couple may find themselves in smaller rooms where the massage therapists are trying to avoid colliding with each other! A great massage is where a therapist is 100% focused on you and what is needed for your individual body to relax. They are picking up on cues from you energetically and are sensing how you breathe as you begin to fall into deeper relaxation releasing your stress at the same time as your partner, beautiful! Highly recommended to experience ultimate relaxation at the same time.
Our spa treatments will help you unwind as you enjoy your visit to Venice Beach.
There are people who say, Sandie, you are a great manifester. I think the greatest thing I ever did in organizing my belief system growing up was that I vowed, I would always be truthful and seek truth and I realized if you say you are going to say a statement to other people, then you have to back it up, it has to be true, you intention has to be behind it. If you say you are doing something, just announce it. It sets the wheels in fast motion, you have to do it.
I used to kick my ankle and chastize myself when I first started doing this at the age of nineteen, because I didn’t want to be a pretender, a liar, a fool, I didn’t want to look stupid. Without fail this method has always helped me to dream and then create an action. By telling other people what you are doing, it puts the thought out into the universe of sound, it allows others minds to build that thought into a strong position in the concrete universe of transactions. Oh, this getting escoterical, don’t want to lose ya there! Just truth and action, creates your dreams into reality. That is all! Practical isn’t it?
