Odds are in Santa's favor: Christmas snow and sleigh bells in the air
Wednesday, December 12, 2012
DOVER — A white Christmas may not be that far off a hope for those wishing to wake up Dec. 25 to snow-covered ground.
"Our forecast tools continue to show the potential for several storm systems that could track from the south to the east from next week through the holiday," the report reads.
Hawley said that while a white Christmas is too early to predict, there is a good chance of snow and precipitation in the near future. |

This is a fanfic that I also posted in Lore Discussion here because it's heavily involved in the Freljord content update. This is my main guess as to how Avarosa obtained a valuable "ally" in the war against Lissandra and the Frozen Watchers. It's my first foray into fanfiction period, so I apologize in advance. Enjoy!
Avarosa sighed in her tent. She knew overthrowing the Frozen Watchers and their legions of loyal Iceborn warriors was going to be no easy task. Though her followers were loyal to their cause and she knew they would fight to the last man, the mystical power of the Watchers and her sister would be more than enough to overwhelm her brothers in arms. Already, the front lines were faltering. There were constant reports of outposts being overrun by the enemy, and neighbouring outposts being caught in pincer attacks. The few (if any) survivors were hardly able to provide any details, save that a blinding blizzard preceded any attack, which would then dissipate, leaving no trace of the camp or its inhabitants.
Something had to be done. Fortunately, a scout that Avarosa had sent to the Lokfarian peninsula to garner support had made his return. He burst forth into her tent, his breath visibly haggard in the cold air.
My lady! News from Lokfar. He panted.
Go on, brother. Tell me what. Avarosa said.
I regret to inform you that no aid will come from Lokfar. However, my party and I did happen upon a cave lightly guarded by the Iceborn. There were wards upon the entrance that indicated something was sealed inside. My lady, this could be a way to defeat the Iceborn!
Something about this news made Avarosa hopeful, but uneasy. Avarosa thanked the scout and dismissed him. Perhaps the Iceborn elders in her camp knew something of this cave and the weapon contained within. She went to the tent where they were sitting in a circle, chanting ancient Freljordian in a prayer to bestow new fighting spirit unto the Iceborn rebels. They were ancient men and women, but with an air about them that commanded respect, and fear. They were shaped by the frigid air and hard ice of Freljord. As a child, Avarosa and her sisters often joked that even their blood was ice, and they bled snow.
Elders, Avarosa bowed. Scouts report that a cave in Lokfar may contain a weapon powerful enough to defeat the Watchers. Lissandras men have been stationed outside, though it would be easy to dispatch them and secure the location. Do any of you know what this weapon is?
The elders began muttering amongst themselves in their ancient tongue, and after what appeared to be some arguing, the one at the far end of the circle stood up. Though he was quite old, his body still clung to his younger days, his arms and legs shaped by many wars. This cave you speak of does indeed contain a great weapon, young Avarosa. A weapon of such terrible and magnificent power, that it was sealed, lest the wrong hand should direct its fury. Nothing short of true ice, and a great deal at that, can hold it. Although your cause is just, its power will consume and destroy everything if left unchecked. I implore you to not seek it out.
Avarosa pleaded, But elder, this could be our chance! What if we just reseal it and-
No, it is out of the question. You will find some other way to defeat the Watchers, and that is final. The other elders murmured their agreement.
Frustrated and angry, Avarosa left the tent. In her mind, the Elders were fools who had knowledge but refused to act on it. Avarosa would secure freedom for her people or die trying. She located the scout who had reported to her earlier, and requested with a somewhat commanding tone that he would show her the cave. After one week of preparations, she and her party left the camp, putting her best lieutenant in charge during her absence.
The trek to Lokfar was long, cold, and unforgiving. After a fortnight, or what Avarosa assumed to be a fortnight, as the sun was blotted out by snow, she and what was left of her party came upon the cave. It was huge and gaping, so large that one could place three Freljordian boars on top of each other, and still have space to spare. All around the entrance were ancient Freljordian runes signifying retreat, turn back, and power. Freezing the guards solid with her enchanted bow, she and her party went into the cave. As they passed the living frozen statues, water trickled down their foreheads.
The cave was pitch black save for the torches they carried. There were no additional guards inside, though there was the occasional skeleton, not all of them human. As they ventured deeper it became warmer, as if they were coming upon the core of Runeterra itself. A final stone arch came into view, shaped by man and magic, and showed that they were upon the great weapon. They stepped inside, and were met with darkness as the stone arch closed, a gust of wind coming seemingly from nowhere snuffed their torches. They were alone in the dark, save for one light at the far end of the room.
Avarosa and her company approached it, and saw that the light was a flame, suspended in a slab of true ice. Even so, the ice was warm. The slab was etched with words which read, as one of her ancient freljordian-fluent party members told them:
Whoever so happens upon this flame
Speak your purpose and declare your name
Ere it grows, it finds your desire true
Else it rages, and will run you through
Should your life stay in tact
Rest your hands here to seal the pact
But be ye warned, before you walk this path
It will reduce all you know and love unto ash.
Avarosas will could not be shaken. Her party begged her to reconsider lest the flame refuse her wish, but what greater purpose is there than to free your people? She kneeled before the flame and spoke. Great Flame, I am Avarosa of Freljord. I come to you seeking your help in defeating the evil Frozen Watchers, securing freedom for the Iceborn and all who dwell on Runeterra. After finishing, Avarosa backed away, awaiting judgment. The flame stood still. And after what seemed like an eternity, it grew exponentially, nearly filling its icy prison. Avarosa and the Iceborn were frightened, but Avarosa knew she had come too far to turn back now. She placed her hands upon the slab, her palms practically blistering from the heat. The ice shattered, sending Avarosa flying to the ground and a sea of flame burst forth, instantly turning her party to ashes before they had a chance to scream. Avarosa alone was left. Opening her eyes, she saw two burning embers, like eyes, in the dark chamber.
Hello, Avarosa. The voice was audible fire, crackling in her ears. Ready to set the world on fire?

Kelly Rowland is all over the United Kingdom these days, with a performance on The X Factor and a Destiny's Child medley at a London concert. So it's only appropriate that she also be the UK's Marie Claire cover girl next month, ringing in 2012 with class and style for the mag's January issue. Inside, the "Down For Whatever" diva exclaims: "I feel so grrr!" And we, too, feel very "grrr" after seeing these photos. Kelly was also recently featured in London's The Times, give us more of that "sexy and sophisticated" at the same time vibe she does so well.

How can I dream
When I'm hurt?
How can I smile
When I'm dirt?
How can I hope
When I'm forgotten?
I don't know if these words
Will impact you, or set an impression
But take this advice
I don't know how
But there are some things
That you just have to do
If not for yourself
Then for someone close to
You're not forgotten
You're always in someone's mind
You're not dirt
Cause to someone you shine
Don't hurt yourself today
Cause you never know
What comes
Tomorrow Is Another Day
by ~Meandor117
But I want to forget all those things for a minute. Okay?
- "Okay."
I want to make sure that the first person you kiss loves you. Okay?
- "Okay."
She was crying harder now. And I was, too
because when I hear something like that I just can't help it.
I just want to make sure of that. Okay?
- "Okay."
And she kissed me.
It was the kind of kiss that I could never tell
my friends about out loud.
It was the kind of kiss that made me know that
I was never so happy in my whole life . . .

Dont get me wrong,I think Odin takes this as well, but seriously, TTGL is bigger than a galaxy. Tell me, why do you think the creators would have it any other way?Then they should have tried to depict it with a little more clarity.
What was depicted(I'm not pulling this out of nowhere) doesn't support the concept of it being a galaxy or multi galaxy sized robot. To even be moving at the pace it was going would require tremendously FTL movement.

@Hellos: Dude, it's Gurren Lagann. This is a series where they break the laws of physics, science, and reality on an almost episodic basis. Logic cannot be applied to it. One can only marvel at it's ridiculous, over the top Awesomeness.Then there really wouldn't be much of a point of involving the series in any kind of debate whatsoever.
Honestly, unless there is a lightning rod of evidence that I missed watching said fight, I'm going to find it nigh impossible to say with certainty that said mech is galaxy sized, based off what I already pointed out.

They organized the New York Independent Film Critics–earlier named the Columbia Film Critics Circle–which annually selects winners in the categories of best picture, actress, actor, etc. They have christened their selections "the Iras" in honor of Ira Hozinsky. His friend, George Robinson, film editor of the Columbia Spectator in 1975, reviewed films in a type of conversational shorthand. A review might be: "Ira saw it and didn't like it." Writer attends their fifth annual selection for "the Iras," which was held at Cannon's Pub at 108th St., a neighborhood tavern in the vicinity of Columbia University. Winners of the Iras learn about the honor only by reading a list published in the Columbia Spectator. Mentions members of the group. Tells which films and actors won "the Iras" this year.

Video: Naked Caveman Streaker Tackled In Last Night's Marlins-Cubs Game
via Youtube |
This is what happens when you take your clothes off at the ballpark. |
He was tackled and hauled out by two ushers who presumably took hearty showers afterward. We salute you, naked caveman!
We'll let the video's author, a user named "mpreciousjewel01" describe the action:
It's Wed, May 18th, 2011 and during the Marlins vs Cubs Baseball game today this crazy guy (with a crazy farmers tan btw) jumps over the wall from the seats in the outfield section, onto the field, rips off his shorts and sprints across the field. Once he reaches the middle of the field he begins to do cartwheels and a funny dance where he wiggles his package for the stadium. Shortly after security and police escort him off the field! But not before the fans got to see a memory of a lifetime... a streaker at a baseball game!! Unforgettable!!The author also claims the nude streaker came from a crowd of 60 people from Key West who were asked to leave over the pantsless run.
Anyone out there who can verify that? If not, we'll just assume it's true because it validates all our cherished stereotypes about people from Key West (namely that they are sunburned naked drunks with questionable hygiene. But we love them for it!)
Here's the clip. Enjoy it until YouTube takes it down:

Hope you can forgive my absence. Truth be told I have kind of fallen off several bandwagons lately. It all started with my exam that I wrote 2 weeks ago, which did not go great. I now have to retake the course (which does not start for another 8 months!) which is putting a big delay on my schooling. In addition, I only failed by one point (!!!) which made me appeal the mark, but that didn't do anything. So after having paid the $195 for the appeal, I still have to pay an additional $980 to retake the course. This unfortunate turn of events has caused me to turn to retail therapy. Which as you can imagine never turns out well, and last night was the first time in 2 weeks that I even checked my credit cards, which will take a bit of a time to pay off.
Falling off the spending and schooling bandwagons has also caused me to not post, since I am too ashamed and distressed by what is going on. It's a vicious cycle, really.
But I am dealing, and theses misfortunes are making me appreciate the good parts of life even more, so not all is lost.
So I turn the table to you. What do you do when you are down on your luck? How do you keep yourselves motivated, and how do you allow yourself to indulge if your budget has no room for extravagances?

I'm sorry to hear about everything that you're going through. Keep your head up everything will get better.
ReplyDelete Im sorry! My sister is a new CA and one of my good friends from school is going through the same testing I believe you are and I know how stressful and hard the exams are. Keep your chin up! Take a break for a night and stop thinking about it too much - catch up with friends and just don't overanalyze it. (something I do way too often). And hide the Credit cards for awhile ;)
ReplyDelete:( sorry about the exam. I have friends who have taken it and know how stressful it can be. Actually, a good friend had his brother throw a chair at him because the brother was so stressed from this test!
What do I do when I need motivation? Allow myself a break to wallow and do unwise things such as shopping and eating a ton of junk food. Then I try to concentrate on the times I've succeeded to get the motivation to move forth.
Btw, I'm doing my CFA exam this coming June. So you may very well see a similar post from me after that. I do hope that you don't feel ashamed about your disappointments to post on your blog. It's only human to fall off the course once in a while and what you went through was really stressful. I now I won't be judging you, and hope that nobody will judge me if I'm down on my luck :)I hope that you're doing better and that you'll come back soon. I think we all fall off the bandwagon sometimes and you're entitled to do that, and share whatever you want and do not want on this blog. But know that you'll have a supportive environment to come back to in this blogospphere. I'm looking forward to see more of your posts!

According to the National Institute of Health, one out of every 40 Americans has a potentially fatal form of skin cancer.
Dermatologists say it can potentially be avoided by knowing the best sunscreen for your skin.
Eve Mills traveled from England to Wilmington for a vacation and some fun in the sun.
Before hitting the beach she needs to buy sunscreen.
Mills says "I would usually use something about 30 for myself, I know they go up higher, especially for fair-skinned children."
According to dermatologists she is making a good choice.
Dermatologist Laura Tanner says "15 is the most that you can have that blocks out the UVA rays-which is the cancer-causing rays"
Dr. Tanner says sunscreen with an SPF higher than 15 does not really make a difference in the number of UVB rays blocked, only UVA.
Dr. Tanner says, "the book is not written yet on whether UVA causes skin cancer but we know that it causes damage in the skin. We want to try to block the UVA as well."
For the best sun protection Dr. Tanner recommends wearing sunscreen everyday and choosing one that suits your skin type.
She says, "If you have oily skin use a gel or a spray. If you have sensitive skin, use a cream. These are helpful, so that the sunscreen is wearable for you."
No matter which type of sunscreen, or what the SPF, remember to reapply it every hour, especially if you get wet.
This is advice Eve Mills follows.
Avoiding skin cancer is the main goal.
Remember to keep an eye on your skin.
If you notice a change in your moles, get a dermatologist to check it out.


text: March of Dimes Ignores Abortion-Premature Birth Link Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The March of Dimes, an organization that prides itself on working to eliminate handicaps in children, is ignoring the link between abortion and premature The March of Dimes has removed information from its website about the risk of premature birth following abortion. Previously, the website had included a statement that women with a history of three or more miscarriages or abortions may be at higher risk of premature delivery. In actuality, the risk of premature birth increases after only one induced abortion, according to the David Reardon, the director of the Elliot Institute says at least 50 published studies have shown significantly higher risk of premature birth and low birth weight deliveries among women with Rather than changing the website to include the more accurate information, the March of Dimes eliminated mention of the risk entirely. "Has it (March of Dimes) updated its website and literature to better prepare American couples to receive adequate prenatal care to avoid premature births when there is a history of induced Officially, the March of Dimes maintains a neutral stance on abortion. Nevertheless, pro-life groups such as the Life Issues Institute have encouraged a boycott of the organization, noting For instance, a March of Dimes booklet offers no statement condemning abortion as an unacceptable "solution" to the problem of birth defects. Rather, the booklet includes this comment: "When a birth defect is diagnosed, genetic counselors provide emotional support and understanding during what can be a very difficult time. If there are decisions to be made--about the pregnancy, the care of a child, having more children, or about the ability of the family to cope with ongoing problems--the parents can make more informed choices with the facts in hand." In fact, MOD has also given grants to research on genetic problems that might encourage doctors to suggest abortions. Abortionist Maurice Mahoney received $35,000 for research on chorionic villi sampling and for developing a prenatal diagnostic technique which would permit the first-trimester Abortion of affected unborn children. From 1989 to 1990, MOD gave $50,000 to Dr. Haig H. Kazazian of Johns Hopkins University, a staunch advocate of eugenic abortion, to perfect methods to detect, early in pregnancy, disorders such as Beta-Thalassemia, Hemophilia A, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and Cystic Fibrosis -- none of which is treatable in the womb. In addition, March of Dimes policy states that the organization "supports the use of fetal tissue research as one technique to broaden understanding of human biology and pregnancy outcome." While the March of Dimes does state that it supports federal policy on fetal tissue transplantation, "with its safeguards against abuse or incentives for abortion," pro-life groups point out that such fetal tissue research will inevitably encourage abortion. MOD has, in fact, funded fetal experimentation and fetal tissue use for more than two decades. In the early 1970s, MOD gave $19,000 to Dr. John F. S. Crocker of Dalhousie University in The March of Dimes has also had pro-abortion advocates in leadership positions. Henry Foster, who was rejected by the Senate as President Clinton's nominee for Surgeon General, served on MOD's Medical Service Advisory Committee. While on the committee, Foster Foster also defended fetoscopic prenatal research as "clearly therapeutic" since "it was done for the same reasons that we do amniocentesis, to decide whether or not the pregnancy should |

Review Date: 2010-02-21
The first cover I received was not the correct size for the car. I contacted Empire Covers support email, and they sent one out to me with no issue. The new one fits great and is what it is intended to be, a good cover for a "summer" car that is stored in a garage. It was wrinkled due to being vacuum sealed in plastic, but that is a minor problem, it does not affect the purpose, and it would probably come out once washed and dryed.

Bought this to protect the Ody from the Florida sun. It's garaged in the summer months. With my wife and I installing its on within 45 seconds. The mirror flaps helps in front/back questions and it fits like a glove once in place. The Ody is dark midnight blue and loves it's cover as much as we do. Well worth the bucks.

If you anticipate using the cover before freezing weather sets in, you could avoid some obvious problems by "blow drying" a wet vehicle with a leaf blower before applying the cover. This, can work quite well, and of course is best if the painted surfaces are clean. This could prevent sticking/tearing of the cover later when you're trying to remove it.

I'm back! It's a new year, so the site has been tidied up & redesigned, so it should feel more 2013 than early 2011! Hope you enjoy the redesign.
Everything is getting quicker on the Internet. The speed of which information comes up and down, the speed of communication between social networks and – more importantly to me – the speed in which development is done. Over the past few years, there have been an influx of inventive, useful and game-changing technologies introduced into the web development world and one of these I want to talk about today is LESS.
Straight from the wiki – "LESS is a dynamic stylesheet language designed by Alexis Sellier." The idea being that developers who have used CSS for years are ready to inject their language with speed, functionality and flair.
The core features of LESS are:
- A syntax which compiles (either server or client-side) into pure CSS
- Includes mechanisms new to CSS, such as variables, reusable methods.
- Nested syntax allowing for tidier code.
LESS is brilliant, and has definitely changed the way I work day-to-day – and it has certainly had an impact in digital houses across London. As with all brilliant tech implementations, however, one solution isn't necessarily enough for every project. That's why there have been a bunch of additions, add-ons and libraries to extend the usefulness of LESS. Here are a few of my favourites:
LESSHat – A bunch of smart LESS mixins.
LESS allows for mixins; reuseable snippets of code to make less work for the more complex, cross-browser CSS rules such as animation, gradients and box-shadows. Instead of reinventing the wheel every time you start a new .less, LESSHat have provided a universal, cross-browser tested and configureable plethora of mixins to use. The documentation is the real winner for me for this extension as it clearly documents what you have access to when you implement this library. The other great thing is that they're still adding to the list, meaning more features incoming like cross-browser keyframe method support.
Easy Media Query Shortcodes
This is more of a tutorial than a library but it demonstrates how you can use simple LESS media query methods to define variables to switch between media query type. By defining variables such as @desktop, @mobile etc, you can then use these throughout your LESS file to give different platforms different stylesheet rules.
Retina JS
Ignoring the "JS" part of this project on GitHub, this provides a very useful LESS helper to rendering high-resolution image variants for retina resolution platforms like iPad and iPhone. Using this in tandem with the above two helper-packages, you could very easily and quickly make a responsive website with universal and cross-platform support.
CodeKit – THE Mac App For Web Developers
With all these libraries and extensions to LESS, you're going to need a way to manage and compile your sites. I don't tend to use server-side compilation as it isn't always provided by a client/customer's server situation, so I just compile into CSS using CodeKit.
CodeKit is a fantastic (paid, Mac-only, sorry Windows users!) piece of software, allowing you to set up projects to be listened to for any LESS compilation on file-save. This means that you can work directly on your LESS file, save it and it will compile out to a .CSS file (minified optionally). The fun doesn't stop there though as it also provides JS & Coffeescript compilation and minification as well as image optimisation. It is $25, but if you work often with LESS files, the time saved is definitely worth the cost of the application. UI-wise, it is beautifully simple to use and keeps itself to itself as you develop, asking little but giving a lot.
More CSS
All this time saved might not be your thing. If so, More CSS was released to allow you to write human-readable CSS, which is then compiled into usable code. This one is for the more literature-based developers. Note, the latest version was released April 1st 2012. *wink wink*
Do you know of any that I've missed, or have any brilliant LESS extensions that you can't live without? Leave a comment and let me know!

…is the only reason the warrantless spying non-story is a "scandal". Think I'm wrong?
Where were the calls for investigations when Bill Clinton was authorizing warrantless spying?
Where were they when Jimmy Carter was authorizing warrantless spying?
Liberals again proving they have one standard for their own and another standard for everyone else.
Update: Heck, Clinton even "expanded the use of warrantless searches to entirely domestic situations with no foreign intelligence value whatsoever." Have you heard a peep about that until now?
Update 2: Oh, and about that judge that stepped down today who will certainly be granted sainthood by the DNC, seems he was just another liberal activist Clinton appointee anyway. More non-story to pile on the existing non-story.
Update 3: It is interesting that all those folks who rejoiced in the Plame "scandal" are so silent about this story in which a classified program designed to track terrorists was leaked, in detail, to the press. A program which most in the legal community are saying is completely within the government's legal authority to conduct.

Garcia: newspapers should start a collective campaign Print 0 Comments
Newspapers should be present at four platforms, says Mario Garcia: in print, online, for mobile devices and tablets. It's like a menu where people can choose between a snack or a seven-course dinner, or even taking a pill. People want to choose and newspapers need to offer the choice. In an interview in the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad, Garcia refers to his 578th project, the redesign of the Austrian Kronen Zeitung. He is the world's best-known newspaper designer. He refers to a success rate of 75 percent, of having realised increased circulation, and having improved brand personality or repositioning.
Key to the redesign of newspapers is WED: writing, editing and design. With regards to the worry of the WIPO, the UN agency for intellectual property, that printed newspapers would no longer exists in 2040, Garcia reacts strongly: "Nonsense! Paper offers you the possibility to completely disconnect," says Garcia. "On the iPad you can read the newspaper, but also switch to reading your emails." This remark coincides with the observation made during the FIPP World Magazine Congress that magazines have the reader's full attention. A final word of advice from the master of design: "Newspapers need to ask themselves the question: how to seduce the readers. Newspapers need to better explain who they are. They should start a campaign, like for drinking milk or eating more vegetables."

Three practices described — Persuasion Design, Catalyst Design and Performance Design

Hello all -
We've been working with Adobe, AIGA/NY & the Freelancers Union to put together a "pop-up" event of sorts. Basically it will be a 2-day series of workshops and masterclasses all focused on web interface design---called DELVE:UI (http://www.delvenyc.com).
January 25-27, 2010 MIT Media Lab - Cambridge, MA, USA http://tei-conf.org/
Submission Deadlines and Categories ----------------------------------- Note: different from last year

Keynote speaker announced: Professor John Frazer -------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
We are sad to announce that there will be no UX Challenge at Svalbard in October 2009.
It seems like the financial crisis has hit our target group harder than we hoped for. Indeed we have received a lot of feedback on the project, where people tell us that they love the idea, but they have a hard time finding the necessary resources to attend.
At Svalbard we need 200 participants in order to break even, and we don't seem to be able to recruit that many this year. Unfortunately!
However, we will not let this idea die.
On May 30th, the Dallas chapters of IxDA, UPA, and Refresh are hosting a one-day conference that brings in experts from social media, UX design, development, and strategy. The conference is at the Art Institute of Dallas. They have a great set of speakers already lined up and it is only $50.
Check it out at http://www.bigdesignconference.com
I attended last night and really enjoyed the segment on the key note speeches. Will IXDA be posting those speeches? And if yes, when?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Posted from the new ixda.org http://www.ixda.org/discuss?post=39384
I'm one of the insane people organizing UX Challenge, Arctic edition (http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=38434) :-).
To sum up for those of you who haven't followed the recent discussion: The aim is to create a prototype of a web based system that will create dialogue between people in a conflict.
The case we're working with is the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. We are inviting representatives from both sides of the conflict to help us gain insight and understanding about how we can help them.

EME Catedral, Seville
Posted on: March 12, 2009 at 1:59PM
There are hotels that border the line between form vs. function and EME Fusion may cross that line. The hotel does have some great amenities such as the immediate Cathedral (but be prepared to hear the bells in the morning) and two satisfying restaurants. The service of the hotel depends on the day and be prepared with your Spanish/English Dictionary as there aren't any employees that can say more than good morning and good afternoon. Parking is 31 euros per night so be willing to shell it out and die trying to get to the hotel (or rather only stay here if you're coming from the train/airport). Unless you are a hard sound sleeper and intend to be out of the room all day, this is not the hotel for you. But again, on the upside, there is free WIFI, the beds are very comfortable, and the rooms are very dark (perhaps too dark if you intend to do any reading). The hotel seems to be meant for young lovers only planning on coming here once, for a hard night on the town, so be prepared to embrace the "too cool for school" image and bring earplugs.
