a hirunaka no ryuusei fanfiction
Everything was perfect.
From the white, satin drapes that hung across the large ballroom to the sweet-scented flower arrangement adorned from corner to corner, it was absolutely flawless. It was the day she had been dreaming of since the first day she took her first step off the bullet train into the bustling city of Tokyo.
It really was; this was the one she had been dreaming of since she was an innocent, doe-eyed teenager, and nothing had changed that.
Suzume sighed quietly as she looked up at the pretty blonde who had voluntarily assigned herself as her best friend's main stylist of this occasion, and was currently attempting to style her hair.
"Your hair won't curl." Yuyuka huffed, tugging onto another cluster of the bride-to-be's hair. "Did you leave your conditioner in for too long again?"
Suzume gave a small smile and looked back down to her feet again. Although they had a rough start, Yuyuka had grown to be one of her closest girlfriends, and always seemed to know when she was having a troubled time.
"I've been thinking again." Suzume replied quietly, pushing a silky strand of hair behind her ear. She always had a tendency of leaving her conditioner on while amidst her thoughts in the bath. It had grown to be a habit since her high school years.
Yuyuka chuckled knowingly, giving up on the curls and reached for a comb. "This is supposed to be your day, you know." She began to brush Suzume's long, brown locks.
"Stop worrying too much. It will be perfect."
Maybe she was worrying too much. The past few weeks for Suzume were full of stressful preparations such as the invitation list, choosing bridesmaids dresses, making sure that the catering service would arrive on time and other various tasks before the big day. She could say that her thoughts were overwhelming.
"Yeah." She agreed. In the end, everything had fallen in place quite nicely. The final problem was the fact of the wedding dress situation, which was in the process of being taken care of. The wedding dress had not been delivered from the boutique since Suzume had sent it back to be re-altered.
It was a pretty dress, a white A-line silhouette dress with a sweetheart neckline, and it matched Suzume quite perfectly for this perfect day. The fact of the matter, however, was when the dress will arrive.
Yuyuka glanced at the clock on the wall. "It should be here soon." She muttered, robotically still combing the bride-to-be's hair while muttering something along the lines of sticking to a straight style.
Suzume was glad Yuyuka was by her side on such a stressful, yet blissed day. This day was going to be perfect and stay perfect, just as she had imagined. It shouldn't be too hard, right?
A knock. "I'm here." A voice resonated through the other side of the door she was staring intently at. Suzume focused her eyes on the doorknob as it slowly turned, revealing an old friend.
Mamura stepped into the room flustered with his head down, her perfect wedding dress on hand. He was already wearing the tuxedo for the upcoming occasion, and was running his free hand through his hair in his failing attempt to fix it. It was alright, she mused; his hair seemed more natural messy.
He looked up and saw the bride-to-be, and she could see a sheer tint of pink growing across his cheeks.
The boutique, he quickly explained to regain composure, was short-staffed and was unable to deliver the dress to the venue, so he had to pick it up himself.
She chuckled. If Mamura had not been a guy, she would have chosen him as her maid of honor. Not once has he let her down, even with their rocky history together.
What happened? She mused to herself. It was because he wasn't her daytime shooting star. Their relationship began to wither in its attempt to bloom because of that fact.
Her heart had already promised to stay in love with her star. And here she was, on that perfect day, perfectly happy, with her perfect star ready to stand at the altar in about a couple of hours.
But it was alright, because Mamura was her closest friend, even closer than Yuyuka could even try to get, and he was always by her side. And it was fine.
It all worked perfectly.
"Thank you!" Suzume decided that it was already a great day, as she stood to grab the dress draped around the blond male's arm. Everything was set; her makeup had just been finished, and Yuyuka had styled her hair into a half up do that had matched the dress she had decided on. She smiled softly at the dress.
Yuyuka made a gesture at Mamura. "You're quite the handyman." She grinned. Mamura scoffed quietly.
Suzume grinned in response, reminiscing about the times she was call him to help her fix her sink, help fix the lock on her door, and even pick up medicine when she was too sick to move and Shishio was stuck at work. He always was there for her.
"I try." Mamura grunted back, moving to slump onto a loveseat nearby.
The blonde woman stuck her tongue out. "I hate to say this," she mused, "but I'm going to miss you when you're gone."
Suzume looked up from gazing at her dress.
Wait, what?
Mamura's face froze in a grimace.
Yuyuka glanced at her face, and his face, and grew the same expression as the male. "Ohhhhhhhh no." She murmured through her teeth. "I didn't kno-"
Mamura sighed and ran a hand through his now-even messier hair and began to speak.
He was moving to America, he explained. His younger brother Daichi had been accepted into an American college, and his father decided that it would be a nice change to move along with him, and wanted his older son to help him with the transition. He had already submitted and received an okay from the firm he was working in to work in their international branch abroad.
A couple of years, at the least. He was leaving in a month.
Suzume blinked.
He decided that he was going to let her in on the news to her after the wedding, since she had already been stressing for months with the details of the event.
She blinked again.
Yuyuka cleared her throat loudly in attempt to clear the tension that was clearly beginning to rise. "I'll let you guys talk." She shuffled out the door.
A few moments passed, and neither spoke a word.
Suzume felt like she couldn't breathe. It was as if her chest was closing in.
He was moving?
He was going to America for a couple of years?
He might not be back?
She gulped, a clump growing in the back of her throat. She squeezed her eyes shut and tried to speak calmly.
"Mamura." His name rolled slowly out of her mouth.
He looked up and stared at her, an expressionless gaze reaching her.
"You're going?" She spoke quietly. He nodded in response.
"You don't want to stay?" Suzume clutched tightly at the perfectly folded dress she held in her hands. She wanted to ask if he could decline, tell his father no. She wanted to ask if he could retract his transfer with his firm.
Suzume knew she was being selfish, she knew this for a fact. She was in the wrong for having thoughts like these.
Because in a matter of less an hour she would be walking down the aisle staring at the man of her dreams.
Her perfect shooting star.
In her perfect wedding dress.
On her perfect wedding day.
She blinked.
But all she really wanted right now was ask if him if he could just stay.
But she couldn't, because was it her place to do so?
He looked up to meet her gaze; her own eyes brimmed with tears, and gave her a small smile. Walking up to her, he grabbed her hand and held it to his cheek.
She could see his cheeks flushing as he did so.
"You know that won't change anything."
He closed his eyes and let her hand rest onto his cheek for a while, the duo both sitting in a tensed silence. Suzume blinked back her tears and let him continue. She could feel his unkempt feelings just from his touch, and felt her heart sting.
She sniffled as realization was slowly hitting her.
Things were going to change.
Yuyuka paused and lowered her head as she stood behind the doors. She decided that she would let it be, and walked back out to the hallway and into the banquet room.
Everything was perfect.
She grabbed her uncle's hand as he looked at her in a proud, paternal manner. He was like a father figure to her, especially when her father had passed away a couple years before. Smiling brightly, he began to lead her down the aisle. She followed suit, a smile plastered onto her face.
This was her day, Yuyuka reminded her before she started her walk down the path to her future.
This was her day.
At least she thought.
She peered through the thinly-made veil that covered her face and took a look at her future.
And this was the guy who was her shooting star. The light of her life; he was the one that stole her breath away. They had been dating for quite a while now, and this moment was the moment she had been dreaming of since forever.
Shishio looked at her as if he himself had his breath taken away. He gave her a shy smile as he watched her slowly step her way down the aisle towards him.
Suzume had always thought that he had grown better-looking with age, and it was true. She could see the wrinkles of his eyes that signified some age in him grow larger with the smile that was plastered on his face.
He was beautiful.
She felt beautiful.
And this was their day.
She could feel the hot tears threatening to spill down her cheeks on her special day, and tried to blink it off.
Suzume had finally made it to the pew, and gave her already crying uncle a tearful beam. He let her go of her hand, and returned to his seat to watch his niece give herself away and start life anew.
She stood in front of Shishio, who had removed her veil and was staring deeply into her eyes.
"We're here now." He mentioned to her, with a laugh. She grinned cheekily in agreement, laughing with him.
She knew this was supposed to be her special day, but at that moment, something felt off. She took a quick glance around the chapel, looking for a familiar blonde.
And there he was, standing in between Yuyuka and Tsuru in the second row closest to the front.
There he was, she thought to herself.
He was going to be gone. He, the guy who would stop by her house every weekend to play board games with her in high school, the guy who stood next to her at their graduation ceremony, the guy who motivated her to apply for her dream university, the guy who groaned but would always arrive in a timely matter at her door every single time she drunk-dialed him with a sloppy story about her troubles in life.
This was the guy who was always by her side.
She had then caught his gaze, she grinned.
"Do I look okay?" She mouthed towards him.
"Dunno." He mouthed, his usual stoic expression plastered on his face. He stuck his tongue out. "Congrats." Mamura gave her a thumbs up.
She grinned in return. Yes, this was her day. "Thanks," she mouthed back, returning her gaze to Shishio.
The wedding had begun. A surprisingly Westernized wedding, the pastor read the vows to the soon-to-be married couple. Shishio had already started repeating his vows, and Suzume's turn was almost next.
- to be your true and wedded wife; and do you solemnly promise-
She felt her heart skip a beat, but in a pained way.
Something still didn't feel right. Why didn't it feel right?
She took another glance at the crowd watching her.
His head was turned down and his blond hair covered his face, but she could see his fists clenching tightly.
Yuyuka moved to face him, an upset look growing. She brought her hand to his back and gave him a pat on his back and sighed. Suzume could see her mouth, "Still, huh."
Suzume felt her heart sting.
She remembered the day she had first gotten back with Shishio. It had been a bit over a year after her and Mamura had separated, and although they had stopped speaking as often as they did, they were still just as close enough that she happily skipped to his house to share the good news.
Good news, as she reviewed in her mind, was probably not so great for him. However, she did remember his grin congratulating her and once again she realized that he was there for her. He was always there for her, and he had always loved her.
Oh god, she was an idiot.
As she was in thought, the pastor interrupted and coughed. Suzume blinked and faced forward. It was her turn to repeat her vows.
The pastor spoke again. "Oh, I've forgotten. Does anyone object?" He sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, turning to the soon-to-be wedded couple and whispering, "Protocol, I'm sorry!"
Would he...?
Not one moment of hesitation was made as Suzume turned to face Mamura.
At least, where Mamura was.
He was gone.
"You know that won't change anything." His previous words echoing through her mind.
Suzume took a deep breath.
Maybe things can change.
Everything was perfect.
It was really. Or at least it was for Suzume, Mamura thought.
He stepped outside the chapel halls, a lot of emotions began to rush through his body. After that hour, he needed a breath of fresh air.
That was it, he thought to himself, the one he loved was going to be gone.
At least she was happy, he tried to reassure. At least she was.
He rubbed the area below his eyes, and took a deep breath. Maybe it was all for the best; he could transfer to America and get things out of his mind while he stayed there.
Things would change.
He gave a small smile to himself, and began to start down the steps. Maybe he would skip the reception and order himself a gratin to wallow in. Not that he would publicly admit to.
Another step.
"Wait wait wait!"
One more step.
He paused and turned, only to see a petite woman in a rather fancy wedding dress trotting towards him, heels in hand. She gasped for breath as she caught up to him.
"Are you going now? Wait, I'm coming with you!"
He gave her a look. "You do know this is your wedding, right?" He reminded casually, his eyes staring at the pretty girl in front of him.
Suzume, still gasping for air from her jog down the stairs, gave him an exasperated smile.
"Remember when you said things couldn't change?" She grinned tiredly, reaching for his hand.
He smiled back.

This review is from: Changhong 50" 1080p LED HDTV - LED50YC2000UA
Price - a 50 inch for that price was a crazy deal, had free shipping to boot.
Well built exterior.
You get what you pay for. The color can be blotchy at times. The brights get really blotchy and the darks get even worse... but this was for my 11 year old for his gaming so it does exactly that for the price I paid.
Other Thoughts:
Lots of times the screen flashes like the thing is going to die on you, but it goes away about 30 minutes after use. It's like it takes awhile to get warmed up? hah I dont know.
If I was going to buy a TV for serious gaming / movie / family room I would just save up and get a top quality TV.
If you need a cheap gift for your young gamer, this is the perfect TV for you.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Mary Jane NeCampP3 Lake View Dr. Jamestown, Kentucky USA
Apple Valley P2/P3 Mary Jane NeCamp Scam
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Mary Jane NeCamp asked us to send payment as a PayPal gift instead of a service payment to reduce the fee. This was our first mistake, as it completely eliminates any chance we would have to get a refund.
We arrived to find the condo permeated with both mold and mildew. The $0.60 furnace filter was clogged with dirt and mold. After replacing it and running 2 box fans for about 6 hours, we were able to enter, but still had headaches from the quantity of mold in the air.
I tried to contact the Mary by email, text, and phone, but got no response.
Despite the lies in the listing...
* The sauna hasn't been operational for 10 years (long before this was posted).
* You CANNOT connect to the internet from within the condo. [continued below]....
The nearest public hotspot is 600+ feet away and doesn't work if you're standing underneath it, since it's shared by 65+ residents.
The carpets are stained and dirty, switches and corners black with filth, walls and ceilings stained with leaks and mold. The tubs were full if body hair and spiders, and the tub mats were so old they made the tubs even more slippery. Much of the furniture is stained with white fluids.
P3 has 2 beds, but there is only a partial wall separating them, and the ceiling structure is an echo chamber between them; the softest whispers can be heard from one bed to the next. Also, there is no way to exit the 2nd bedroom without going through the 1st. ZERO privacy, better to sleep downstairs - but there's no sofa bed, just a futon, making that impossible for 2 couples.
Both B2 and P3 were designed as 1-bedroom condos. If P3 had a sofa bed instead of a futon, it could be considered a 2BR perhaps, but definitely NOT as it is currently configured. I would consider P2 closer to a 2BR, but neither actually are.
This may not be a problem for a family, but for 2 couples, this arrangement is not acceptable, and the deceptive advertising here is repulsive.
The owner failed to respond for days, was unhelpful, and refused to refund any portion of our stay. I hope VRBO takes this listing offline.

I am enough!
I don't write at all, but lately have become interested in creative writing in poetry. I just wrote this story today. I like to express myself or express how other people may be feeling or have felt.
I feel so tired, I feel so drained, I want to shout at the top of my lungs, I want to scream help me! Please someone help! I feel so alone, I'm at breaking point. I want to feel loved. I want to belong. I want to love myself, yet I hate myself. I miss how I used to be. I used to laugh all the time; I used to see such beauty in the world. Being a child, so innocent, so ignorant of the cruel heartless world we live in. I grew up and soon realised the truth of it all. Being laughed at, being made fun of, teased for who I am. I thought we were encouraged to be you, be truly you, without being judged, without being bullied, without being made to feel like your feelings don't matter and it's ok to be put down and feel like you don't matter. I was being me, yet it still wasn't enough. No matter what, it's never enough. I hated the person I was because I wasn't the norm, I wasn't like everyone else, I was me. Until one day, I realised what's wrong with being me? Am I bad person? No! Am I different? Yes! So what's wrong with that? Nothing! Exactly! Nothing! I may not be like everyone else, but I'm me and that's all I can be. I used to hate me, until I realised I only did because society did. I didn't dress like everyone else, I didn't think like everyone else, I didn't act like everyone else and for that, I was made to feel like I don't matter, like I shouldn't exist, that I'm weird and not important. Maybe everyone else is just weird, right? I mean they all try to fit in, afraid to stand out, afraid to not belong. I used to be like that. I wanted to belong so much. Yet I was still being judged, people were still mean to me. Finally I had enough, I became who I wanted to be, and it was hard at first. It can be hard being who you truly are in this heartless world. It was so hard for me, so hard that I got depressed, thought I wasn't good enough. Until one day I realised me is enough. It's always been enough; I just didn't see it before. I was too busy worrying about what everyone else thought, to the point I forgot what being happy was. You see I figured no matter what you do in life, you get judged. You follow the crowd and act like the norm, you'll be judged regardless. If you be who you truly are, again you'll be judged regardless. But does it really matter? No! Because at least I'm happy, right? At least I'm being true to myself. At least I'm standing up for myself. At least I'm truly loving myself and trying to be the best person I can be. So instead of feeling so tired, so drained, I now feel so awake, so awake in seeing the beauty in the world. You see it's all about perception. How do you choose to see the world? A heartless miserable place or place with beauty where you can be truly you and inspire others to do so? What do you choose? I choose happiness. I choose laughter. I choose me.

Only 15 kilometres from the border with Russia, Kirkenes feels like a real frontier town. As you walk by the harbour you will hear Russian and Finnish voices mingling together and the signs will also feature Cyrillic text - it is truly unique. Surrounded by wilderness, Kirkenes acts as an ideal hub from which to sample the unforgettable experiences that this remote region can offer.
With a rugged coastline and a mountainous backdrop, this is a playground which promises some truly memorable activity days. The town also offers some rather distinctive attractions which draw people from all over the world. These include the famous Kirkenes Snowhotel and the delectable delicacy that is king crab.
This may only be a short break of just three nights but we make sure that you get to enjoy all of the must-try activities. You will dog sled through the outdoors, visit the Russian border, try your hand at ice fishing, dine on the freshest possible king crab and witness the Snowhotel.
Of course, one of Kirkenes' other attractions is its location in prime Aurora territory. You will try and exploit its excellent Northern Lights record during a night of Aurora hunting in the remote Pasvik Valley.
With a choice of modern accommodation available, you will return to a centrally located base each night following a day of unforgettable experiences in the Arctic. This may be a short break but you will head back home with a wealth of wonderful memories.
Anybody aged 18 years and over.
"This is one of my favourite winter activities – Northern Lights and King Crab... it's the perfect combination for a magical evening in Norway. If you thought lobster was the king of seafood I challenge you to try this magnificent King Crab and then decide. Another real highlight for this holiday is the night in the Snowhotel. Its small capacity means that you will always find a warm welcome and also time to chat to the guests and staff about their experiences deep in the Arctic Circle." Barry Nolan
"No problems about booking. Good information provided. Your local agent, Pasvikturist was very helpful and made it possible for us to book an additional activity. Their use of small local providers in addition to the Snowhotel company gave the holiday a personal touch as the group sizes were mostly quite small. The Thon Hotel is very well situated (we saw the Northern Lights twice from it) and the food is good. The Rica Arctic has now changed its name to Scandia. Other local attractions are Surf and Turf in Kirkenes for food, and the Borderlands Museum." Richard Smith - Feb 15
For this holiday you will either be based at the Rica Arctic Hotel or the Thon Hotel in Kirkenes city centre. Both hotels offer 3 star accommodation and are both comfortable and ideally located for exploring the town of Kirkenes during your free time.
Rica Arctic Hotel
The Rica Arctic Hotel is based in the centre of Kirkenes close to the main pedestrian street and around 2 km from the Hurtigruten Terminal. It exudes a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere and has some fantastic facilities including an indoor swimming pool, a sauna and a solarium.
The restaurant serves a fantastic à la carte menu for dinner and a varied buffet breakfast. There is also free Wi-Fi throughout.
Rooms are double or twin and all have an en-suite shower room, hairdryer, phone and TV. Superior room upgrades are available on request.
Thon Hotel
The Thon Hotel is located on the quayside in Kirkenes, just a short distance from the Hurtigruten Terminal and offers wonderful views over the Fjord. It is furnished in a modern and simplistic Scandinavian style and offers free Wi-Fi throughout.
The restaurant offers an exciting à la carte menu with both local and international dishes and an exciting breakfast buffet.
In the trip there is the option to upgrade to spend one night in the Kirkenes Snowhotel (see pricing tab for details).
The Snowhotel first opened its doors in 2006 and each year the designs have become larger and grander. The Snowhotel's location is wonderful and completely peaceful. The room will remain between -5 to -7 Celsius but you will be wrapped up warm in the sleeping bag provided. These sleeping bags are state of the art and suitable until -30 and below.
The Snowhotel will have around 20 rooms and every year the design and art work differs but are always stunning with ice sculptures and LED lights to create a fantastic spectacle each year. There is also an ice bar on site and a limited number of warm beds in case anyone wishes to move to warmer surroundings during the night! This is sure to be a memorable night's sleep.
Day 1: Arrivals and introduction
Upon arrival at Kirkenes Airport, you will be greeted by a local guide who will transfer you to your hotel. You have a choice of two hotels here in Kirkenes with either the Rica Hotel or Thon Hotel at your disposal; both offer excellent facilities.
There are no lengthy transfers and the drive from the airport will take roughly 15 minutes. Your guide will assist you in checking into the hotel and run through the details of your upcoming holiday. You can settle in and relax this evening ahead of tomorrow's adventures.
As you will be arriving in the late evening we recommend dining at the hotel tonight (payable locally).
Day 2: Sightseeing, Ice Fishing, Fishing For King Crabs And Northern Lights Snowmobile Safari
After a hearty breakfast in your hotel, you will be collected by an expert local guide for your sightseeing tour of Kirkenes and the surrounding area. You will visit the Russian border post where there are views across to some of the most westerly Russian settlements (it's all rather James Bond here!). Next on the itinerary is the mining town of Bjørnvatn where you will gain an insight into over 90 years of mining history. Continuing through the wilds to Storfjell, you will stop to admire the views before heading back to Kirkenes.
You can enjoy lunch at the hotel (not included) and relax ahead of this afternoon's activity.
In the afternoon, you will embark on an ice fishing experience which will take roughly three hours. Your guide will take you to a frozen lake where they will show you the simple skills which are required for this ancient pastime. Ice fishing has grown from an essential way of sourcing food to more of a hobby for modern Norwegians, but the traditions and techniques remain relatively unchanged.
This evening you are set for a real treat as you are collected from your hotel at around 6pm for an evening of Northern Lights hunting and delicious food.
Your local guide will take you to a nearby harbour where your purpose is to pull up the large crab pots from the freezing cold waters and hopefully encounter some of the creatures which have really put Kirkenes on the culinary map – the king crab.
A king crab's leg span can grow up to 5ft 9inches and these impressive sea creatures are prolific on the seabed of the reassuringly deep waters of the Barents Sea and have become synonymous with the region. Once your catch has been landed, you will travel on to a basecamp around 10 minutes from town for the start of your snowmobile adventure.
Snowmobiling is a thrilling activity and will allow you to see a great deal of the local area in an exciting way. Following full instructions and a safety briefing, you will set off behind your guide travelling two people per machine. To upgrade and ride one person per snowmobile see the 'Personalise' section for more information. Your destination is the Siberian Taiga Forest around Pasvik. Upon arrival here, you will visit a traditional Norwegian farm dating from 1854 (as long as the trail conditions permit access) and will be given an insight into how people have made this remote part of the world their home.
As you will be in a remote region for the evening you will hopefully have excellent views of the night sky and, as this is prime Aurora territory, you could be in for a real treat if conditions are favourable.
Following your snowmobile adventure, you will return to the base camp for a very special dinner. In a traditional lavvu, you will sit around the cosy fire and enjoy the king crab caught earlier in the evening. This is sure to be some of the freshest seafood you have ever been able to enjoy and is certainly a wonderful end to the day.
Day 3: Husky Safari, Snowhotel visit and dinner
Regardless of whether you class yourself as a dog lover or not, you are almost certain to fall for the huskies you will meet today after breakfast. Your guide will give you an insight into the relationship between man and husky and will provide an overview of the lives of these working dogs.
Following this introduction, you will be given a full safety briefing to prepare you for the trail before setting off in pairs. One person will be the passenger and the other will control the sled (there will be the chance to swap drivers) and together with your team you will cover around 20-25 kilometres during your safari. To upgrade and ride one person per sled, see the 'Personalise' section for more information.
Back at the husky farm, a hearty lunch will be waiting for you and you can sit back and recount the experience you have just enjoyed.
This evening you will be taken to the magnificent Snowhotel for an unforgettable evening. Upon arrival, you will be given a guided tour of this monument to snow and ice architecture. You will enjoy the stunning sculptures, the beautifully decorated rooms and the ice bar. There will be many photo opportunities before you head to a nearby warm restaurant for your evening meal.
For those who would like to upgrade and spend their last night in Norway at this remarkable hotel, we can arrange for you to stay in a cold room here rather than returning to your Kirkenes hotel (you will have checked out earlier in the day). The full details of this experience can be found in the 'Personalise' section of the holiday page.
Day 4: Depart or extend your stay
After breakfast at your hotel (either in Kirkenes or at the Snowhotel), you will be collected for your transfer back to the airport and your return flights home.
If you would like to extend your time in Norway then we can arrange for you to enjoy a city break in Oslo on your way home. Please speak to our Travel Experts for more information.
This is the perfect opportunity to experience the excitement of controlling a pack of huskies. This upgrade will let you drive one person per sled, rather than swapping half way through.
Snowmobiling is an incredibly addictive activity. You might want to have a vehicle all to yourself. This upgrade lets you do just that by driving one per sonwmobile.
You can spend your third and final night at the fantastic Snowhotel. You will be given a guided tour and dinner with the rest of your group. Then you will check into your snow room.
The rooms are carefully crafted from ice and snow to offer a once in a lifetime experience for the guests who stay here.
You are given an Arctic-grade sleeping bag, which will ensure that you are cosy and warm despite the room temperature of -5°C. You will have your breakfast at the hotel in the morning and relax in one of the saunas, depending on your airport transfer departure time.
You will travel from the Snowhotel directly to the airport for your return flights home.
Pricing Notes
Alternative dates are available for a minimum of two and a maximum of twelve persons.

The tunnel
The lead faerie then turned and spoke very quickly and quietly to the others. Then the lead faerie (whose name, if you remember, was Iz) pointed at the ground.
A hole, much like the one in the sky yesterday, appeared. It grew until it was about the size of a hobbit-door, when it stopped. It was different from the other hole in that it wasn't entirely black. It was more like the color of the night sky- black at first, but then sort of indigo in places and purple near the cities and maybe even a little red where the sun peeps over the horizon.
Iz addressed Elizabeth, as Elizabeth was evidently in charge.
"Sir," said Iz, "Please follow me, and bring the crowd along, as well."
And Iz, roughly shoved the other faeries (who seemed to shrink a bit when she- or he- or it- touched them) into the hole, then smiled at them all, and daintily jumped in.
Everyone awkwardly walked over to the portal.
Elizabeth looked doubtfully into the hole. It looked deep.
Everyone was looking at her again. She took a deep breath and reminded herself that she was an elected official with important duties.
She sat down and then carefully lowered herself in until she was hanging on the edge. It was a very uncomfortable position and everyone was still staring at her, but she couldn't quite feel the bottom with her feet.
Suddenly, thoughts kept popping to her head. This portal didn't feel like the other one, for example. This one was just a tunnel. That one was real. This one might just be a hole which she could fall into, deeper and deeper til she hit the middle of Blotch itself. Maybe it was a trap.
She let go and gave a little shriek, but in a moment she hit hard ground. She looked up and saw a circle of light. She had fallen a long ways! But she didn't feel hurt at all.
Well, at least she wouldn't fall to the middle of Blotch.
"Come on then!" she called bravely.
She looked around squinting, her eyes adjusting to the dark. Maureen gave a long scream and hit the ground a moment later.
Elizabeth yelled up to them again: "Not so fast! There's not that much room here!" but before she could finish talking Maggie also landed next to them.
"Well, let's get out of here before we get crushed," said Maureen, a tad grumpily as she was rather embarassed by screaming.
"It's this way," said Maggie pointing out to a tunnel that they hadn't noticed before.
"Well this certainly isn't like the portal," said Elizabeth.
And they walked down the tunnel.
It seemed to go on for a while, but they kept hearing shrieks and then embarassed silences back in the original pit. It was scary though, they were just walking through the dark, with tons of earth and rock on top of them, their only light coming from a tiny opening that was steadily getting farther away.
And the faeries were nowhere in sight.

Known for his hard-nosed and somewhat controversial coaching style, Bobby Knight is one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history.
He also coached the U.S. men's national basketball team to a gold medal in the 1984 Olympics held in L.A.
His fierce passion for the game is captured in these quotes:
- "Most people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win."
- "All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things."
- "Everybody hears, but few listen."
- "If the NBA were on channel 5 and a bunch of frogs making love was on channel 4, I'd watch the frogs even if they were coming in fuzzy."
- "The key is not the "will to win" . . . everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important."
- "The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare."
- "You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball."
- "Everyone wants to be on a winning team, but no one wants to come to practice."
- "Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years."
- "Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one."
- "At one point, I said to the officials that you guys haven't called walking for 20 years, now you don't know what it is. When you call walking, you're about half right."
- "Why talk now when so many things have been said without ever giving me a chance to talk?"
- "I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb."
- "If my primary purpose here at Indiana is to go out and win ballgames, I can probably do that as well as anybody can. I would just cheat, get some money from a lot of people around Indianapolis who want to run the operation that way, and just go out and get the best basketball players I can. Then we'd beat everybody."

Sink or Swim
Many people don't believe me.
But then again, I don't believe many people.
Supposedly I was in some sort of accident, a car accident, in my new red convertible I had been given for my seventeenth birthday by my dad and a lorry went into the back of me. I woke up and was asking about who was in the water with me and all of a sudden I couldn't remember anybody.
Yet, before waking up, I remember the water, the black abyss, crushing down on my lungs, water jamming in there hard and fast, not leaving any space for air in my lungs.
I remember that hand. Fat and strong, definitely male, he had a wrist watch on that dug into the space below my rib cage.
Car accident, Drowning. Two ways to die that could be accidental or otherwise. Which ever life I'm meant to be in, I don't seem to have much luck.
But, over the past few months, as I have left the hospital and started to see a shrink who has promised my 'parents' he will get the old me back, I have began to wonder; is it possible to swap bodies? Or am I really just insane?
It would be a stressful event for anyone, a huge trauma, perhaps I am just going through some weird, very strong form of post-traumatic stress as all of the doctors assure my parents when they think that I'm not listening.
However, there are so many things that with each day, make me more and more sure that I am not who everybody says I am. The face I look at in the mirror everyday is not my own, the oval face and rounded features are from the Spanish-English mixture I once owned. Also, the nerves. Suddenly I'm of a nervous disposition, I mean surely you'd carry that with you, but my hands are clammy, my heart is constantly racing.
One more thing. I am completely and uncontrollably home sick. For two people, parents I'm sure, one with soft British accent, far from the stereotype the Americans that now surround me, always fake when watching a quintessentially British film. And one with a vibrant Spanish accent. I'm home sick for rain and for Yorkshire puddings, a good curry and an episode of Coronation Street. Yet, my parents haven't even heard of some of the things I yearn for and the others, they laugh at. I'm a Malibu girl, what would I want with rain, other than to ruin my hair and what is a Yorkshire pudding, isn't that carbs on carbs?
There's this other face.
Appealing in a very different way. Olive skin, dark hair. I place him with summer and I'm sure that he lives back with Papas family, Spain, I'm sure. I miss the paella's of the hot summer, in fact, I miss his paella's. He's a good cook.
But why the hell can't I remember his name?
So here I sit, in the shrinks office, sipping at cranberry juice when all I want is either Fish and Chips with double batter or some paella from my other home country.
I am fed up of hot dogs and white teeth and blonde extensions and turning on the TV to 'sitcoms'.
I wonder if my body died. But this seems even more illogical, surely the girl that will be missing her overly white teeth, her diet everything and carb free meals, is sitting in England, munching on Grandmas Yorkshire puddings and feeling depressed at the way the rain blends the colours of the sky.

Well first off, fragrance products are made out of animal/plant based aromatic compounds/esters which then dissolve in a solution of water and alcohol. The amount of "perfume oil" or "essential oil/fragrance" is the determining factor between an eau de toilette and an eau de parfum! as well as the price difference :p (edt being cheaper than edp)
Eau de Parfum is the most concentrated, meaning more $$$ from you (consumers), but it tends to last a lot longer. (around 15-30 percent concentrated)
Eau de toilette is like the cheap version, usually around 8-10 percent concentrated, and doesn't last very long.
I had NO IDEA about any of this until a while ago, and I thought it was good information to know when searching for your new signature scent!
Hopefully this has helped someone else out :)
|I knew most of this on May 07, 2014 @ 07:31 pm
When I was a kid, my mom only bought EDP or pure perfume because it last longer and I am the same. I prefer to buy EDP over EDT.
For summer though EDT is nicer because it isn't as heavy.
|Watch out for: on May 09, 2014 @ 08:45 pm
A lot of people say they are allergic to perfume, but in most cases they are allergic to the base that holds the fragrance in the perfume. Unfortunately most cheaper perfumes like Avon, use an oil that causes a reaction to those who have allergies. Try the better quality perfumes like Estee Lauder and those types. You mainly only need one or two signature fragrances any way and the mosre expensive ones don't seem to go rancid like the cheaper ones.

Patna, Aug 12: Sadhu Yadav, best known as estranged brother in law of Lalu Prasad Yadav is all set to form a third front ahead of coming Bihar Assembly election. Sadhu Yadav who severed his ties with his mentor Lalu long time back in 2009, had recently formed a new outfit, Garib Janata Dal-Secular.
"The third front will be strong alternative for the people who are fed with both the alliances. No government will be formed in Bihar without the third front", Sadhu was quoted by India Today.
To materalise his plan by bringing like minded leaders together, reportedly he held a meeting with former union minister Nagmani and former BJP MP Capt Jai Narain Prasad Nishad in Patna recently.
Apparently, Sadhu wants to give tough competition to Modi led BJP and grand alliance of RJD and JD(U) in the coming polls.
Brimming with confidence about his party's performance in coming election, Sadhu said that when AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal can turn the tide in his favour in Delhi election, why can't he do the same in the state polls.
Former Gopalganj MP has also lashed out at both Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar saying they are just making people fool and are least concerned about their genuine problems .
"Both the leaders are busy in image-building theatrics by displaying their posters and hoardings. It does not make any difference to them whether the poor stay alive or die, he said.
Hitting out at Prime Minister who recently did rally in the Gaya, Sadhu Yadav said, "the poor people of Bihar were hoping that the prime minister would announce some sops for them during his rally in Gaya on Sunday but they had to return empty-handed just the way they did after his Muzaffarpur rally last month."
Sadhu Ydav who has been heaping praise on PM till date, has
criticized him first time.
Maintaining angry tone, former MP Sadhu also spewed venom on incumbent Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Holding Kumar responsible for worse situation of the poor in the State, he said, "The poor are running from pillar to post to get the government coupons for ration and kerosene but Nitish was engaged in putting up huge posters and hoardings claiming that Bihar was progressing fast".
Controversial Sadhu Yadav is known for running parallel government when Lalu Yadav was in the power in the State. Ahead of 2009 Lok Sabha election, Rabri Devi's brother Sadhu had joined Congress after RJD decided not to pamper him by giving him ticket of his choice.
In run up to 2014 Lok Sabha election, Sadhu tried to join Modi led BJP, but things didn't work out after Bihar BJP leaders rejected the idea.

A 1995 Chevrolet Caprice routinely needs new Freon added to its air conditioning system, depending on how often the air conditioner is used. However, the process is relatively simple and easy to perform at home. You will need no major tools other than an R134a recharging kit. These kits are available from most automotive supply dealers.
Things You'll Need
- R134 recharging kit
- Goggles
- Glasses
- Thermometer
Park the Chevrolet Caprice on a flat surface. Activate the emergency brake. If your Caprice has a standard transmission, move the gear lever into neutral. If your Caprice has an automatic transmission, shift the gear lever into park. Release the hood and prop it open.
Locate the air conditioner pipes (which are made of aluminum) inside the Caprice's engine compartment. You will notice two different pipes. The thinner pipe is the air conditioner's high-pressure line and the wider pipe connects the vehicle's compressor to its receiver/drier. This is the low-pressure line.
Locate the low-pressure service outlet on the thicker aluminum pipe. You will notice the outlet by its black or blue dust cap. Remove the cap and fit your R134a recharging kit to the outlet.
Set the kit down to rest. Be sure to keep it away from any engine part that could shift or otherwise move, such as a fan. Walk one full circle around the vehicle and open the Caprice's doors.
Turn the engine and the air conditioner on. After the engine warms up, set the air conditioner's blower on high and the air temperature on cold.
Return to your Caprice's engine. Pick up the R134a recharging kit. Open the valve on top of the kit's R134a Freon container. Let Freon rush into the Caprice's air conditioner for 60 seconds.
Close the valve on top of the R134a recharging kit. Let the system rest for 60 seconds. During this time, the system's blower will actively move the new R134a Freon through the system. Continue to add Freon in 60-second increments.
Monitor the pressure gauge on top of the R134a kit. In addition, keep an eye on both the high- and low-pressure lines within the engine. The process will be near completion once both lines appear frigid. To be certain, insert a thermometer into the Caprice's central air conditioner duct and monitor the system's internal temperature.
Remove the thermometer once the internal temperature reads 40 degrees. This is the standard reading for a fully charged system set to its coldest temperature. Sometimes the weather can directly influence this reading. If you recharge the Caprice on a hot summer day, the final temperature can plateau somewhere between 40 and 60 degrees.
Undo the connection between the R134a kit and the low-pressure service outline. Allow the Caprice to idle for an additional 10 minutes, and then let the air conditioner's blower fully circulate all the newly added Freon. Switch off the engine and the air conditioning system. Shut all the Caprice's doors.
Tips & Warnings
- For safety purposes, wear thick winter gloves while handling the R134a kit. During the installation process, the R134a Freon container will grow very cold and regular automotive nitrile gloves will not help. In addition, be sure to wear protective glasses or a face shield (after all, R134a Freon is a highly compressed gas).
- Dichlorodifluoromethane (R12) is not intended for use in this vehicle. R12 and R134a do not mix--if you attempt to add R12 to an R134a system, damage will result. This is true not only for Chevrolet Caprices, but for all vehicles using R134a refrigerant.

Last night was a rough one for "Scandal" fans, as the answer was revealed to last week's #WhoGotShot mystery.
(Warning: spoilers ahead if you're not caught up with the show.)
This week, viewers learned it was James Novak who was on the receiving end of Jake Ballard's bullet, and Dan Bucatinsky stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Friday to talk about the moment he first found out his character was going to be killed, after a fateful phone call from "Scandal" creator Shonda Rimes.
PHOTOS: The Sexy Stars Of 'Scandal'
"[I was] in my car. I pulled over, I was like, 'OK, did that just happen?' and then we talked about it and then we talked about how painful it was," Dan told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover. "And we talked about the fact that I [would] get to read the script beforehand and she said, 'We're gonna write a really beautiful episode,' which I have to say, I'm so proud to be part of an episode that sort of chronicled Cyrus Beene coming out - which really it was - and it made it sadder, but it made it really profound.
"Here's a man who finally found authentic love and in a very deep way, and as he was contemplating the fact that his husband had died and really if you trace back and connect the dots -- it was because of him," Dan continued. "He pimped out his husband and then Daniel Douglas had to die, and you know... it's a dangerous game."
PHOTOS: The Ladies Of 'Scandal' - On & Off Screen
After learning James' fate, Dan said he thought of creative ways his character could've lived after the gunshot wound.
"Couldn't James be in the hole for the whole season? Kidnapped?" he said, laughing. "It's sort of like the five stages of grief. I was sort of in the bargaining stage. I was like, "All right, listen. I could be shot and very badly maimed and need a wheelchair and not be able to speak for a whole season. That's dramatic!'"
Though he's devastated over leaving the show, Dan said the writers made the right decision.
"Here's the thing about a show like 'Scandal' - the stakes are always so high, and the kind of show that allows you to play the amazing stuff that I got to play over 27 episodes is the same kind of show that can always take you out," he admitted.
Adding, "They really wrote well for me and Cyrus for the three seasons I did the show, and as a writer, it really does need to be at this level. I mean, if every time somebody might die they don't, then the audience starts to get that that might happen."
"Scandal" airs Thursdays at 10 PM on ABC.

The Government's flagship scheme to tackle youth unemployment has been branded a failure by its own advisers, who have urged ministers to offer a "work guarantee" to jobless under 25-year-olds.
Their call gives the Coalition a dilemma because Labour has proposed a similar "real jobs guarantee" to 18-24 year-olds who have been out of work for a year, with benefits being withdrawn for those who refuse to take up the offer.
The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission has questioned the value of the £1bn Youth Contract, which has been championed by Nick Clegg. It provides temporary wage subsidies to employers worth up to £2,275 if they provide a six-month "job start" for under 25s.
Funding was provided by the Coalition for 160,000 of these subsidies for three years from April 2012. But the commission discovered that only 21,000 applications were made by May this year, and only 2,070 payments made for young people completing 26 weeks on the scheme. This means that, a quarter of the way through the programme, only one eighth of the places, and one-eightieth of the subsidies, have been used.
Alan Milburn, the former Labour Cabinet minister who chairs the commission, told The Independent yesterday: "Aspects of the Youth Contract are working but not enough to make a meaningful dent in appallingly high levels of youth unemployment. Long term joblessness has a scarring effect for life. Government should work with employers to offer young people a guarantee of a job if they are in danger of becoming long-term unemployed."
Although the commission has praised the work experience placements offered under the Youth Contract, it has told ministers it is worried that "little progress" has been made on tackling youth unemployment. One third of jobless 18-24-year-olds (250,000 people) have been out of work for more than 12 months, and 15 per cent (115,000) for more than 24 months, the highest level since 1994.
The Commission is urging ministers to set a goal of eliminating long term youth unemployment (12 months and longer) and reduce the proportion of NEETS (those not in education, employment or training) to below the European average. It is proposing a "youth credit" payment for those who take up "high quality" work or training. It wants the Government to cap the amount of time that jobless 18-24 year-olds can spend on benefits by introducing a "job guarantee", perhaps as part of its Work Programme.
A spokesman for Mr Clegg said: "Everyone deserves the chance to do well and get on in life, but too many young people find that opportunities are out of reach. The Deputy Prime Minister has ordered a review, chaired by the Cabinet Secretary into what we offer to young people to make the transition from school to work better.
"Tens of thousands of young people have already benefited from the Youth Contract, which offers work experience, apprenticeships and help for employers to offer young people jobs that last. Since the Youth Contract was launched in 2012, youth unemployment has fallen by 58,000."
David Cameron has asked his Downing Street Policy Unit to look into the NEETS issue. He told the Tory conference last month that under-25s could lose their right to housing benefit and Jobseeker's Allowance if they were not in work or training. But the Liberal Democrats are cautious about benefit sanctions and so the plans may be included in the Tory manifesto at the 2015 election. The Heywood review could lead to some changes to the Youth Contract before the election.
The commission told ministers that there are "substantial gaps" in the provision for 18-24 year-olds, saying: "The risks must be addressed with greater urgency if progress on life chances is not to be threatened. Our judgement is that here the UK Government was too late to the party and what it is doing is so far having too limited an impact."Reuse content

After learning to play the violin when he was at high school, Weems switched to trombone while attending the University of Pennsylvania. That instrument was also favoured by his brother, Art, and in 1923 the brothers formed their own band, and soon afterwards Ted Weems decided to concentrate on simply being the leader. They became very popular during the latter part of the 20s, appealing to dancers mostly in and around Chicago with their sophisticated playing and featured singers. They were also in demand on radio for many years. Among those who sang successfully with the band were future movie star Marilyn Maxwell, Al Jarrett, Parker Gibbs, Country Washburn and Perry Como. Also popular were whistler Elmo Tanner and saxophonist-cum-novelty-vocalist Red Ingle. From 1922-47 the band had a number of big-selling records, among them Somebody Stole My Gal, Covered Wagon...

A Sleepless Night
Ro's heavy breathing signals the fact that she's fast asleep.
Scarlett and I are sitting on the couch in our suite and talking, albeit quietly (since we definitely don't want Ro to wake up).
"I still can't believe Ro didn't freak out at the last minute and decide not to go with Rixon," said Scarlett, a silly smile on her face.
Really, the last thing I want to do is talk more about Ro's date. But I plaster that all-too-familiar smile to my face and nod as Scarlett talks.
"She looked really radiant, too, in that gorgeous dress. I can't imagine a happier Ro," Scarlett continues. "What do you think about Rixon?"
I shrug. "We haven't really gotten a chance to get to know him," I point out, using my tone to convey the fact that I want to end the conversation - like, now. Everything about the date reminds me about my first date with Emmett - everything from Ro's dress to the type of musical they watched. I twirl some hair around my finger and shift my eyes to anything but Scarlett's eyes.
Scarlett must sense that I want to talk about something else, because she quickly starts up another topic. "Did you ever see 'Hairspray' on stage?" she asks, and I can recognize her desperation to make me happy. She's such a people-pleaser...it worries me sometimes.
"Umm, no. Not yet." I begin to examine my fingernails. For some reason, I can't shake the jitters.
"Maybe we should go to bed. It's getting late, and we've got a ton of shopping and touring to do tomorrow, right? Maybe even see a movie or something. Does that sound okay?"
"Mmm, what?"
"Does it sound okay to go to bed?"
"Uh, sure, yeah. It does. Let's do." I shove images of Emmett's face from my mind and head over to my bed.
Right before I turn out the lights, though, Ro rolls over, and I realize she wasn't asleep. There's worry in her eyes. "Are you okay, Guinevere?"
"Yeah." I reach over and turn out the lights.
It takes me awhile to go to sleep, though, and as I listen to the sounds of the New York City streets, I can't help but wish that Ro wasn't so obsessive over Rixon - either that, or else that I wouldn't care as much about Emmett. I don't want this to ruin our vacation!
Scarlett, who's sleeping alone in the other bed, falls asleep soon. Ro does, too, after awhile, leaving me awake and alone. After an hour of tossing and turning, I get up, pull my notebook from my suitcase, and grab the pen that hotels always leave on the nightstand.
Like all the other times I can't fall asleep, I sit at the desk and write. Write, write, write. Poems, prayers, prose - whatever soothes me at the moment.
The scratching of pen on paper is soothing.
