Lots of places to visit locally, yet just an hour from major cities of Manchester and Liverpool.
The well known Blackpool and all it's attractions including the famous Illuminations are 40 minutes away, the beautiful Lake District 45 minutes.
The Lancashire region
Barnacre is in the countryside, an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Forest of Bowland. Situated between the historic City of Lancaster and the bigger new City of Preston. The cottages are on a hillside with great views across to the coast at Blackpool, the Lake District and even the Isle of Man. The small, attractive market town of Garstang, with the weekly market on the High St every Thursday, is just a couple of miles away. You can walk there from our door, through the fields and public footpaths.
We have great places to see and visit for all ages. Including local countryside festivals and events. Our cottages each contain information books and lots of helpful tourist information . Plus, we are resident owners and are on hand to assist if required.
Whilst our surrounding countryside is beautiful, there are many places that our guests wish to visit. A traditional place is the Lake District, usually Windermere and Ambleside, which can be reached in less than an hour from here. Lots of pretty villages and towns, amazing views, but also very busy.
Blackpool is a very famous seaside town just a 35 minute drive from here. The Pleasure Beach now has a Nickleodeon theme for younger children. The Pepsi Max roller coaster and other thrilling rides. An ice rink and shows. The Tower is worth a visit, with the ballroom that held the finals of the 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2010, plus an amazing circus. Sandcastles is a tropical indoor pool on the promenade. The Illuminations in autumn on the promenade with tram and horse carriage rides.
The football grounds of Manchester City and United, plus Liverpool just an hour away, have been destinations to visit for a surprising number of guests. Whilst the city centre of Manchester for great shopping, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Jack Wiils has been popular. On a rainy day the huge indoor Trafford Centre with cinemas, the amazing Orient eating area and again great shopping and free car parking is worth a visit.
For shopping enthusiasts, the discount outlet centres of Cheshire Oaks, the smaller Fleetwood Freeport and Boundary Mill at Colne are good places to spend the day.
Further afield, maybe travel back in time to beautiful York and Chester, with ancient buildings and in York the famous Yorvic museum.
This part of England, both the countryside and the towns, has an abundance of beautiful places to spend time.

What's Up in Brooklyn?
An easier question would probably be what's right in Brooklyn? Anyone…? Anything…? Just as I thought. Thus far it seems the best thing to happen to Brooklyn was the fact that Beyoncé and Jay Z turned up to a few games. Other than that the good times have been limited. There has been some comedic gold with J-Kidd calling for one of his team to bump into him and spill his drink everywhere in a hope for a timeout. It didn't work but this was one play that the Nets actually ran well and should try running some plays on the court in the future. (more…)

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A Charlotte neighborhood near Uptown is making way for another apartment complex.
Developers of Yards at NoDa officially broke ground Wednesday.
The 350 unity complex is being built on East 33rd Street.
The developer says the community is going up right next to the future Light Rail extension, which was important to choosing the right spot to build. The extension is expected to be up-and-running in NoDa in 2017. The new apartment complex will open next spring.
The recession put a freeze on previous plans to develop lots in the area.

Projects & Tasks
With SysAid Tasks & Projects, you can create projects and schedule and assign the specific tasks to users with deadlines for completion.
Schedule Corresponding Tasks
When starting a project, the project manager can schedule the tasks that relate to every action necessary to complete the project:
- Assign tasks to the appropriate administrators
- Schedule deadlines and estimate the amount of time to complete tasks
- Create dependencies between tasks to coordinate the order in which to complete the tasks
- Customize notifications sent to assigned users on the project level and related to individual tasks
See the Business Impact of Every Task
The Tasks & Projects module is fully integrated with the CMDB, so you can evaluate the business impact of every task you schedule. For example, if you need to take down a server, you can add the server as a Configuration Item to your task and view the relationships it has with the other elements in your network. If the server is offline, who and what will it impact? This will help you schedule the task for a time when it will have minimal effect on the operations of your organization.
Create Recurring Assignments
While much of your IT work involves dealing with the new and dynamic situations that arise every day, there are always assignments that recur on a regular basis. Tasks & Projects allows you to create recurring tasks on a weekly or monthly basis that will send you notifications via service record, email, or SMS text message. That way, you won't miss routine maintenance work.
Multiple Projects
Easily manage all of the tasks that your IT department is working on for multiple projects. The task list shows you the project each task belongs to as well as its category, status, start time, end time, estimated completion time, and progress percentage. Access the activity log for every task to see which actions have been taken, and view detailed Gantt charts that show all of the tasks and their progress grouped per category.
Assessment Tools to Monitor Projects
Monitoring the progress of your projects is essential to identifying malfunctions or bottlenecks. Once you've created tasks for all of your project actions, ensure they're being properly executed using a variety of assessment tools.
- View a log of all activities that your administrators have taken during their task completion
- Run reports to see the status of all tasks and projects and the percentage of their completion
- Intuitive Gantt charts give you a graphical view of the project's progress with the corresponding tasks grouped per category
- Read a history of all changes to the project and its corresponding tasks

Is variety overrated?
Well, I think it was Chrissie's comment, from the voice. She was talking about how Sloane has more variety then Azzy, but how more variety means more things can go wrong (and how Azzy does a few things only and does it very well).
If you look at Djokovic/Nadal vs Federer, do you think Fed's so-called variety is a liability or a strength?
Variety always breeds more choices, which oftentimes can lead to confusion and mistakes.
But variety also allows more varied shots, which can be applied in more different situations.
Say you're walking into a gunfight at the OK Corral. Most of you bring sixguns single action, and a few lever action rifles of 8 round capacity.
Should you bring your VulcanMiniGun with it's 200 rounds and 40 lbs weight?
Should you bring your F-23 and the attendant servo crew and runway, fuel and weapons systems?
Or should you bring a backup slingshot, a combat knife, and be done with it?
Which would you choose?
I will need to think about that
Remember the movie "Predator"? With Arnie?
Let's transpose it to reality. First of all, nobody, not even an additional 8 guys, can carry that much ammunition.
What's the sense of the VulcanMiniGun? It eats up 1,000 rounds per minute of .223. CAR's and M's need .223 ammo. M's can be fired full auto, for maybe 3 clips max rapid loading. That's 60 rounds in a real minute.
Why have Bros carrying 9mil? It don't penetrate jungle, it's an off sized round, it has no range, and it still needs 3 rounds to down a bad guy. It's carried in everyone's pistol belt, for emergency close range ONLY.
And, none of the guns are compatible with the bad guy's 7.62x39 shorts! So you can't just use their ammo.
So Predator is picking off peeps one by one. Does it make any sense to make a log stand with a 14" combat knife, and nothing else? That was stupid.
You go into the jungle, expecting perps to use AK's. OK, get everyone on AK's or everyone on .223 using the same magazines! Don't mix guns.
such a good movie. saw it again recently. still holds up.
Yeah, love the Governor's of Montana..or whatever state, and California on there.
Whoa Lee, what's with all the gun analogies? Should we be worried..? :) I think kitchen appliances could have suited your metaphors just as well.
As for variety, well... I can see it both ways, good or bad.
I'm the cook in our relationship. I HATE it when g'f uses a colinder, 3 different stir spoons, a veggie spinner, several more strainers, cooking forks and spoons, different eating forks and spoons, and guess who cleans the whole menagerie up?
I use the same fork and knife to cut, to serve, and to eat with.
I also use them to strain the water/liquids, and wash AS I cook.
I spend an hour a day cleaning up after my woman invades my kitchen and uses all her various accessories that I don't deem necessary.
Waste clutter my life.
OTOH, a simple life is a lonely life.
So variety is overrated? But c'mon, the veggie spinner is a good thing. Otherwise salad dressing doesn't stick and gets all watery. :)
Camping would suit you. A swiss army knife to do everything !
I don't eat salads, or veggies either.
Ever need to clean up after a vegetarian? Or a veggan? Just a huge messy oily buttfuglay mess.
Meat can be cleaned with soap and water.
Veggies are an organic unsightly mess.
I DO eat the lettuce in my BigMacs.
It's my kitchen because I'm the cook on every meal.
Yes, I'm otherwise homeless.
G/f's father lives in PuertoRico.
I also drive g/f to work 4 days a week, and pick her up at work 5 days a week.
And yes, I'm her gardener and sheetrock worker.
I don't think variety is overrated. I think it's a good option to have.
you just need to learn when and where to use your skill.
Jessie was the star of Predator! Just like Stan was the star of the AO. And both met the same fate.
Yes, Ventura was really cool!
In reality, a big guy needs much more food, and double the water of a little guy in stress situations, like the jungle. Nobody really carried more than a couple of snacks. What did they eat? And where did they get their liquids?
I know, it's a dollywood movie.
Was I making the rules?
Or was I complaining about the state of existence?
I think people underestimate how effective variety can be but overestimate how easy it is to get good at mastering and using variety.

As far as tennis is concernd (as opposed to taking out invisible, well armed aliens), winning is about consistency. For most mortals it is easier to have high consistency with a few strokes. Fed is the exception. Barring him, variety may make you competitive in more matches, but you may win fewer overall than if you were more consistent with fewer strokes. Of course this supposes that you played a wide variety of styles, but the reality of Modern tennis is that you are likely to run into fewer, not more types of players.

What's in your make-up bag?
I usually carry a moisturiser, perfume, lip balm and a cheek tint.
Describe your skincare routine
I'm lucky to be blessed with good skin but I always ensure that my skin is well hydrated and moisturise regularly. I also cleanse my face with a good face wash and drink lots of water.
What's your go-to beauty look for a red carpet event?
I believe less is more. For a red carpet event, I usually define my eyes since they are a little small. It's important to enhance your features.
What do you think is sexy, beauty-wise?
I think it's all about how you feel – if you feel sexy inside, then it will show on the outside.
Any idols growing up?
My mom, because she always has great skin and hair. Also Kareena Kapoor as she has really good skin and can get away with almost no make-up.
What are some tips you've taken from beauty artists and use daily?
For the day, you should keep the look fresh. I just use a cheek tint to add some colour to my face.
What's the weirdest thing you've tried in the name of beauty?
When I was in school, I would use a roller brush to curl my hair inwards. Once, the brush got stuck in my hair and I had to chop off my hair with a knife. It was a total disaster!
What product do you turn to for a beauty boost?
Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate – it's the ultimate solution for bad skin.
Do you have a signature fragrance?
I am addicted to Still by JLo and am also fond of Daisy by Marc Jacobs
Do you gravitate toward a lip colour and if so, which shade?
I generally prefer a lip balm or chapstick with a red tint.
Do you think it's important to stick with a signature look?
No, I think one should try out different looks. Experimenting can be difficult though and I'm personally hesitant.
What's the best beauty advice you've ever received?
No matter how late it is, always remove your make-up before sleeping or else your skin will breakout. Also drink lots of water.

What's the best Powerline adapter you can buy today? We look at the 15 best Powerline adapters 2015 UK after extensive testing in real-world environments.
Powerline is a simple-to-install digital home technology that gets you faster speeds than Wi-Fi for connecting devices to your network despite them being in different rooms to your router. It uses your home's power lines to create a network that's much faster than distant Wi-Fi, and can create new Wi-Fi hotspots to boost your home's wireless speeds.
Simply plug one Powerline adapter into a power socket near your router and attach it to the router with an ethernet cable (usually supplied with the Powerline adapter kit). Then go to the room where you want to hook up a device (maybe another PC or laptop, a smart TV or a set-top box for catch-up TV such as Sky+, Tivo and Apple TV), plug the second adapter into a nearby power socket and connect another ethernet cable from that to the device or devices.
That's it. It really is plug and play.
Some of Powerline adapters also have wireless functionality so they create a new Wi-Fi hotspot in that second room, too – so you get much faster Wi-Fi for your laptop, smartphone or tablet.
The cheapest Powerline adapters are rated as 200Mbps, the middle-performing are 500Mbps or 600Mbps, and the leatest, fastest adapters are badged as 1,200Mbps. You won't actually achieve these speeds as they're theoretical maximums, but it's easy to gauge which models are fastest by checking these titles.
But only PC Advisor actually speed tests Powerline adapters in real-world envionments so read the full reviews for speed scores, and feature explanations.
Read our Powerline adapter reviews for more detail, and check out our list below for our group test results and recommendations.
For more information on Powerline speed myths, tips and recommendations read our Powerline FAQ What is Powerline – simple to set up, faster-than-Wi-Fi home network.

He is now proud of his picture
The one with flower across his chest
Cos it's the picture of the year
First prize this was the best
So remember just like the robin
The more you huff and puff
The more likely you are to fall
But that's not enough
Get up, brush yourself down
Shake your feathers dry
You could still be a winner

NATO's not very lofty summit
- By Stephen M. WaltStephen M. Walt is the Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international relations at Harvard University.
What's the most useless waste of time, money, and fuel that you can think of? A NASCAR race? A Star Trek convention? The Burning Man festival?
Well, right up there with those obvious granfalloons is the recent NATO summit in Chicago. I've now read the official statements and White House press releases, and it's tempting to see the whole thing as a subtle insult to our collective intelligence. To paraphrase Churchill, never have so many world leaders flown so far to accomplish so little.
Along with the usual boilerplate, there were three big items on the summit agenda.
First, the assembled leaders announced that NATO will end the war in Afghanistan by the summer of 2013, and gradually turn security over to the Afghans themselves. This decision sounds like a significant milestone, but it's really just acknowledging a foregone conclusion. Popular support for the war has been plummeting, and the Obama administration has been lowering U.S. objectives for some time. In fact, the war in Afghanistan was lost a long time ago (mostly because the Bush administration invaded Iraq and let the Taliban come back), and Obama's big mistake was failing to recognize this from the start. The 2009 "surge" provided a fig leaf to enable the U.S. and NATO to get out, but the cost has been billions more dollars squandered, more dead NATO soldiers and dead Afghans, and a deteriorating relationship with nuclear-armed Pakistan. It's nice that NATO is acknowledging these realities, but it didn't take a summit to figure this out. Perhaps the only benefit of this announcement is that it might make it harder for Mitt Romney to reverse course in the event he gets elected, though I'm not at all sure that Romney would want to do so anyway.
Second, NATO has piously declared — for the zillionth time — that its members will enhance their military capabilities by improved intra-alliance cooperation. This step is justified in part by highlighting the alliance's supposed recent achievements, to wit:
"The success of our forces in Libya, Afghanistan, the Balkans and in fighting piracy is a vivid illustration that NATO remains unmatched in its ability to deploy and sustain military power to safeguard the security of our populations and to contribute to international peace and security."
NATO is "unmatched" because the United States maintains a global military presence, but the self-congratulation here seems misplaced. Libya hardly looks like a success story right now, success in Afghanistan has been downgraded not to what we originally wanted but to whatever we think we can achieve, and the Balkan operation now appears open-ended.
More importantly, how many times have we seen this movie? Ever since the 1952 Lisbon force goals, NATO's European members have promised to improve their capabilities and then failed to meet their agreed-upon goals. This pattern has continued for five-plus decades, and it makes you wonder why anyone takes such pledges seriously anymore. If EU countries can't find the money to backstop a proper firewall for the fragile Greek, Italian, and Spanish economies, it is hard to believe NATO's European members are going to make significant new investments in defense. I'm not saying they should, by the way, given that Europe faces no significant conventional military threats. Last time I checked, the U.S. was spending about 4 percent of its GDP on defense and the rest of NATO was averaging about 1.7 percent. Both halves of the transatlantic partnership will be trimming budgets in the years ahead, no matter what they said in Chicago. So I wouldn't put much stock in item #2.
Third, NATO reaffirmed its commitment to the missile defense boondoggle. Never mind that the Defense Science Board recently concluded that existing defense technologies are still easily spooked by inexpensive countermeasures. Please overlook the tens of billions of dollars we've spent chasing the Holy Grail of missile defense since the 1980s, without ever getting there. Ignore the poisonous effect this program has on relations with Russia, which has to assume the worst and take our efforts seriously. And pay no attention to the fact that if missile defense ever did work really, really well, it would just encourage potential adversaries to work on alternative delivery mechanisms (like smuggling) that would make it more difficult to trace an attack back to its source.
The summit did give Obama the opportunity to show off his home town to his European friends. As a former Chicagoan, I'm glad they had the chance to look around a great American city, and I hope everyone had a good time. But both the attendees and the various groups protesting the summit seem to have missed the most important fact about the gathering: It just wasn't a very important event.

Lithuania shivers as Russia ramps up heating costs
Monday - 2/4/2013, 6:16am EST
By LIUDAS DAPKUS
Associated Press
VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) - To save money during the harsh Baltic winter, Romanas Ziabkinas did something unremarkable: He turned off his central heating and installed a cheaper electric heater. Now he finds himself neck-deep in legal woes.
His utility company refused to recognize the switch and is suing him for some 25,000 litas ($10,000) in unpaid utility bills for his apartment in Lithuania's capital. "Splitting from the Soviet Union was easier than leaving this heating system," he says.
Ziabkinas plight is extreme, but his frustrations over heating costs are shared by a majority of Lithuanians, who have seen prices soar over the past several years, especially since the shuttering of its only nuclear power plant in 2009, forcing the country to import more Russian gas to keep warm. Lithuania's decision to scrap atomic power over safety concerns has put it under a new kind of threat: intimidation from Russia, which critics say shows no hesitation to use its energy dominance to bully former vassal states.
While gas prices have tended to fall globally in recent years thanks to deposits of shale gas in places like the U.S., Lithuanian households have looked on in horror in the past seven years as the retail cost of natural gas pumped from Siberia spiked 450 percent _ or from $169 to $769 per 1,000 cubic meters.
Lithuania, a country of 3 million people, currently pays Russia a wholesale price of about $540 per 1,000 cubic meters of natural gas piped from Siberia, roughly 15 percent more than Baltic neighbors Latvia and Estonia and 25 percent more than Germany.
Many Lithuanians feel they are being punished by Russia for unsolved political issues, just as the Kremlin has used gas supplies to goad Ukraine and Belarus over political and economic disputes.
Lithuania has demanded compensation from Moscow for alleged damages incurred during the Soviet occupation from 1945 to 1991, and last year enacted a European Union directive to separate gas supply and distribution, a direct blow to Russia's commercial interests in the country. Estonia and Latvia, which also receive all their gas from Russia, have done neither _ and, not surprisingly, enjoy cheaper prices.
Gazprom rarely comments on gas price deals with individual countries, using the secrecy to haggle with each individual nation separately _ playing one off the other _ in what is seen as an extension of Kremlin foreign policy.
Lithuania has a long-term supply agreement with Russia's state-owned gas monopoly Gazprom, which expires in 2015. Russia has justified the price rises by saying the deal allows it to index gas rates to oil prices. The catch is that Russia has given discounts to friendly nations, while sticking to the full price for those with which it has disputes.
"We believe Lithuania should pay a fifth less than it does now," Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius recently told reporters.
Lithuania's previous center-right government sued Gazprom in international arbitration court for 5 billion litas ($1.9 billion) over gas price hikes and has called on the EU to investigate the company's alleged unfair pricing policies. Butkevicius, however, is willing to scrap the litigation in exchange for cheaper gas.
Regardless of the legal outcome, heating now seems a luxury many Lithuanians can't afford _ and with tragic consequences. Last winter a 77-year-old pensioner in the southern district of Alytus was found frozen to death in his house. In another case, an 80-year-old woman who lived alone died in her bed in 2011, her body stuck to the frozen bed sheets.
Many people who can't afford their heating bill don't pay it, resulting in an increasingly large income hole that utilities fear they'll never recover. In Vilnius, the total amount of unpaid heating bills surpassed 40 million litas ($15 million) last year, while in Kaunas, Lithuania's second largest city, the number was $17 million.
Toma Gajauskiene, a 25-year-old Lithuanian language teacher, feels that she's drowning in unpaid heating bills for her apartment in a high-rise building. She earns some 1,200 litas ($460) per month and has a small child and unemployed husband to support.
"Last December was not too cold, but the heating bill stands at 500 litas, almost half of what I make," Gajauskiene said. "For January the bill will be at least double, but I simply cannot pay more than 300 litas for heating because my family will not have money to buy food."
Lithuanians also pay more for heating due to insulation problems stemming from the Soviet era. In the years after World War II, some 80 percent of Lithuania's population moved in less than a decade from villages to cities, where they were placed in Soviet apartment blocks hastily and without regard for efficient insulation.

– Our inspiration for the autumn collection was taken from Robert Redford's iconic character in the film 'Three days of the Condor.' The collection is our take on the soft colours and tailored silhouette of the 70s, with a touch of our own idiosyncratic rock 'n' roll attitude, said Ronnie McDonald, designer of Tiger of Sweden's men's collection. The collection's monochrome palette is offset with softer elements of camel and beige, along with muted bold colour accents. The structure and patterns of the garments are inspired by classic men's tailoring, with key pieces such as the double-breasted suit with jigger buttons. The outerwear builds on a longer, oversized silhouette, with a full-length trench coat made exclusively of mohair in focus.
For the women's collection, designers Shena Neville and Tine Grandahl continue to develop the balance between soft, classic feminine garments and a more pronounced, tailored, masculine silhouette. The colour scheme builds on a black foundation with nuances of grey and winter white, with accents such as green, purple, pink and dark blue. Key garments include a minimalist cut blazer and an unlined, graphic plaid print coat. Monochromatic patterns and a strong sports influence strengthen the feeling of a modern, relaxed feminine look. – There's a lot going on at Tiger right now. Our international journey continues, aimed at quickly establishing ourselves in the world's foremost fashion capitals – Paris and New York, while Stockholm and the Stockholm fashion week remains our home ground, said David Thunmarker, CEO Tiger of Sweden.

About Tiger of Sweden
Since 1993, Tiger of Sweden has gone from an MSEK 15 turnover to MSEK 879 for the 2012–2013 fiscal year. Tiger of Sweden is sold and marketed in 20 countries and has been part of the IC Companys Group since 2003.
2013 marked the launch of two standalone stores in London, as well as one in each of Cape Town, Toronto, Aalborg, Bergen and one more in Stockholm to join the 20 other existing stores in Sweden and 23 others across Europe, Canada and South Africa.
To further their international expansion, Tiger of Sweden has announced partnerships with two agencies to increase the brand's global footprint through expansions in the US and France. Agencies as follows:
- Empire and Branch, a brand-building collective to launch distribution within the United States.
- THE HANGER in France, with an already confirmed presence in a minimum of five doors at Galeries Lafayette.
Tiger of Sweden CEO David Thunmarker comments:
"For the past 2 years we have taken Tiger of Sweden on an international journey. We have enjoyed great success in Selfridges throughout the UK – we are now stocked in all 4 Selfridges stores – and marked 2013 with the opening of flagships on London's iconic Piccadilly, in Canary Wharf, Toronto, Cape Town, and Stockholm amongst others. Having now established Tiger in London, our plan is to do the same in two of the other fashion capitals of the world – New York and Paris. We plan to grow quickly over the next 2–3 years, through a mixture of wholesale and the opening of standalone stores."
Empire and Branch Principal, Deepak Gayadin, discusses the potential growth in United States:
"We are very proud to launch Tiger of Sweden for 2014. We will introduce 3 collections; menswear, womenswear and denim. What sets Tiger of Sweden apart from other brands is 'the different cut'. The fit is slim yet comfortable due to construction. Tiger of Sweden is 'the new lux'; the collection utilizes high quality materials paired with a comfortable slim fit that is relaxed enough for every day, and at an honest price-point. We see the market shifting, denim stores are moving towards the inclusion of more tailored menswear and Tiger of Sweden's menswear collection is designed to wear with denim. We see big opportunities for Tiger of Sweden in America and plan to grow the business organically with points of sale that will include department stores, specialty retailers, e-commerce and Tiger of Sweden stores."
THE HANGER Managing Director, Laurent Hollander, discusses the potential growth in France:
"Tiger of Sweden has a strong potential in France for both menswear and womenswear collections. The Different Cut is a statement that has been understood right away by the Galeries Lafayette management team. Tiger Menswear offers a modern/contemporary attitude to wear a suit and correspond to demand of renewing the formal wear offer. Regarding Womenswear, we already have a good response from multibrand stores all over the country and our plan is to develop the brand through Department Stores and Independent retailers. Within the next 2 years, we'll make a deeper launch of the Denim collection."

About Tiger of Sweden
Since 1993, Tiger of Sweden has gone from an MSEK 15 turnover to MSEK 879 for the 2012–2013 fiscal year. Tiger of Sweden is sold and marketed in 20 countries and has been part of the IC Companys Group since 2003.
Our Scottish designer Ronnie McDonald had the idea that Tiger is like a clan – a group whose kinship is defined by having worked for Tiger. The word originates from the Scottish gaeliskans clann, but a clan is not a real clan without its own Tartan. That's why Ronnie was given a mission: to create Tiger's own tartan as a tribute to everyone who has ever worked at Tiger. Our Tartan was woven on a hand loom – one as old as Tiger itself – by Daniel Harris at London Cloth Co. The pattern was registered at The Scottish Register of Tartans as Tiger's Official Tartan.
We have created one hundred jackets and one hundred scarves out of our unique Tartan. While we were at it we couldn't resist the urge to have six kilts made also. It is with great pleasure and pride that we present the Official Tiger Tartan for our clan.

Following more than ten seasons showing at Stockholm Fashion Week, Spring Summer 15 sees Tiger of Sweden – the Scandinavian fashion brand that took the suit out of the bank and onto the street – move their catwalk show to London.
"Since re-entering the UK market over three years ago, London has become a second home for Tiger. We love the city for its energy, creativity and its rich fashion heritage. We are proud to become a part of the LC:M story." David Thunmarker, CEO – Tiger of Sweden For Spring Summer 2015, Tiger of Sweden draw inspiration from cult film, "The Warriors". The 'Tiger Gang' of SS15 looks to the night-time adventures of the film's New York gangs, with tailoring that exudes a rock and roll attitude and a tough elegance. It is a collection created to be worn all hours, just as with the Warriors' own 24/7 gangland attire. The colour palette references the night, with a focus on black and white and shades of grey. The city landscape is a key reference, with brighter colours such as petrol and rust breaking through the monochrome and a use of prints, inspired by the street art and graffiti from the film. Always focusing on Tiger's trademark brand philosophy, 'A Different Cut', the dominant silhouette this season is slim, sharp and strong. Blazers are cut short with a slim-cut trouser. Outerwear has evolved to a more relaxed fit for the spring. SS15 notably sees the introduction of a new shape for Tiger, a slightly oversized and elongated suit shape.

In the old factory building Old Sorting Office in the industrial area of New Oxford street – the Tiger models marched along a rough catwalk to the strains of futuristic synth music. For Tiger of Sweden's Autumn Winter '15 collection, the understated post punk look from the German synth band Kraftwerk has served as a great inspiration.
As ever, the suit is at the centre of the Tiger of Sweden collection. Mirroring the sharp, tautly tailored aesthetic of Kraftwerk et al, the silhouette has been elongated. The models of the show wore high wasted trousers complete with tapered legs cut in muted shades of military green, beige and midnight blue.
The artificial nature of synth music has also played a part in the development of the outerwear pieces that was shown in London. Oversized overcoats in bright sporty shades of neon blue and jersey knits, ties, socks, bags and belts in neon lime and fuchsia brightened up the crowd in the old sorting office.
Tiger's trademark brand philosophy, 'A Different Cut' also permeated the new and exclusive collaboration with Derry-based brand Smyth & Gibson; two shirts - one with a cutaway and the other with a tie bar collar was shown on the catwalk.

Budapest hotel rates are surprisingly higher than one might expect. Still, Paris or London it ain't, and bargains are easier to find here than in Europe's pricier cities. If you stay in one of our editors' picks, expect to spend €35 in low season and €80 in high season for a double room. Our lowest low season doubles go for €40 and our highest high season doubles for €130 per night.
Budapest Hotel Overview
Moral of the story: guest houses, youth hostels and hotels can be found across Budapest, with a range of amenities and at a range of rates.
The lay of the land can come as a shock to visitors. From a topographical perspective, it is easy to see why Buda, Pest, and Óbuda in the northwest were only united as one city in 1873—quite a late date for such an ancient city.
Buda, west of the Danube, perches atop hills so steep that they sometimes resemble cliffs. Most of the area surrounding Castle and Gellért Hills is made up of upscale residential housing. The area of Buda nearest to Pest has a very limited number of budget hotel choices. Our four Buda listings include two hotels near Margit Island in the northern part of Buda, and two on the relatively flatter ground west of the riverfront hills.
And, as one local put it, "Why would any tourist want to stay in Buda? Everything is happening in Pest." Although restaurants, spas and theaters stand near the Buda waterfront, and several tourist sites stand tall atop the Hills, 90 percent of what tourists want to see and do is in Pest.
Pest is the place. Historically the center of commerce and the home of common people, Pest is the liveliest part of Budapest. It's also where most of our hotel editors' picks are. The land is flat, the sights are numerous, and the nightlife is thriving. Metros, buses and trams run all over the area and link up in dozens of places. And even though areas of interest are spread out, Pest is much easier to traverse on foot than hilly Buda.
Building Matters
The millennial anniversary of Budapest in 1896 witnessed gobs of fanfare and financing, and the construction of many neo-classical buildings, amongst many other modern architectural wonders. Many of these now house hotels.
Most of the rooms we visited and slept in, even ones a few floors up from major thoroughfares, were incredibly quiet thanks to thick construction and large, double-paned windows. Budget hotels in these neo-classical buildings usually offer fans in lieu of air conditioning. Happily for Cheapos, the combination of thick walls and high ceilings make for surprisingly cool quarters during the warmer months. Newly constructed hotels tend to offer air conditioning.
Lastly, keep in mind that many hotels in Budapest will categorize their alternating floors as "half-floors" in order to reduce their taxes. So your "third floor" room may actually be on the fifth floor.

If not I have a question that was left unanswered in the movie. If everyone is dulled to feeling and sensation how is it that people were still procreating and why even get married? If you feel nothing how do you go about picking a mate and it stands to reason that if you don't feel lust you can't have kids unless they are grown in tubes. Maybe they were allowed to stay off the drug long enough to have sex in a controlled environment? That was a big hole Kurt Wimmer left.

Sacha Baron Cohen chose 'Les Misérables' over Tarantino's 'Django Unchained'
A scheduling conflict prevented the 'Borat' star from appearing in both filmsBuy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
Sacha Baron Cohen has admitted that he chose to appear in Les Misérables over Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.
Baron Cohen plays a swindling innkeeper called Thénardier in the musical movie, joining an impressive cast including Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe. However, signing up for Les Misérables forced him to turn down an appearance alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Tarantino's acclaimed Western film.
During an interview with Deadline, Baron Cohen admitted that a scheduling conflict prevented him from appearing in both films. He explained: "I was editing The Dictator and we were very close to release and Paramount wouldn't push the date. And then I knew I'd have to jump straight from there into Les Mis and it basically became a choice of either pulling out of Les Mis or pulling out of Django. I'm sure Django is an incredible movie, but it was essentially one scene."
When asked what his Django role would have been, Baron Cohen replied: "It was a character by the name of Scotty who Leonardo DiCaprio's character plays a poker game with. The stakes become Scotty's slave girl, Broomhilda." According to Deadline, the Scotty character does not now feature in Django Unchained's final cut.
Les Misérables opens in UK cinemas on January 11, with Django Unchained following on January 18. Both films are expected to be shortlisted for Best Picture when this year's Oscar nominations are announced on Thursday (January 10).
