Yay, The Balm has just launched a mascara called Two-Timer ($19). I'm so happy to finally share this with you because I've been harboring this dirty little secret since my interview with CEO Marissa Shipman in May. And lucky for me, during a recent visit to The Balm offices, I was given the chance to test it out. Here's the scoop:
What makes this mascara stand apart from the crowd is that it's actually designed to be used within the three-to-six month life-span of a mascara. And although it has two sides to it, what you're actually getting is the same formula in two mini tubes with two different types wands to create two distinct looks. The coolest part of all is that if you prefer one brush over the other, just flip them and you've got a whole new tube!
The left brush (aka Marcus Lashalot) has a twisted spiral shape with a dip in the center to collect extra product and create voluminous and vixen-like lashes. The right brush (aka Johnny Finetune) is made from a flexible brush with thin bristles to define, separate and lengthen lashes. I like to think of it as Johnny by day and Marcus by night — oh, we girls can be so bad!

HOUSTON - 'Tis the season to get married and the newest bridal trend may have you doing a double take.
If you thought black veils were more appropriate for funerals, think again.
In this week's Wedding Buzz from Weddings in Houston Magazine they show you how to work the style while working the aisle.
Here's what they suggest -- "a black veil is a bold move for your white wedding day. But worn right, with a sleek updo, perhaps a chic black belt and chunky jet jewels, a black bridal veil is THE statement accessory for the stylish bride. Concerned that trailing 20 feet of black tulle down the aisle might elicit a few gasps? Go for a retro-elegant black birdcage or delicate bandeau veil, accented with feathers or crystal-centered floral. Noir never looked so lovely!"
I agree!

Just confirmed. Susan Flannery (Stephanie, B&B) will attend.
On Saturday, January 12, 2008 stars from The Bold and the Beautiful, including John McCook (Eric), Winsor Harmon (Thorne) and Dan McVicar (Clarke) will be present at "A Fashion Extravaganza," a benefit fashion show and silent auction of the late Darlene Conley's "Sally Spectra" show wardrobe in Biloxi, Miss. to benefit the Center for Prevention of Child Abuse (CPCA).
Conley, who died on January 14, 2007, was the internationally renowned daytime drama actress who played the vividly colored, comedic and tough dame with a heart of gold, "Sally Spectra" on The Bold and the Beautiful. As "Sally," Conley was a master of disguise including Mae West, a German spy, an Italian gigolo, a nun, and even a rendition of another B&B character. In celebration of Conley's life, "Sally's" wardrobe, most of which was designed by B&B's Emmy® award winning Costume Designer, Birgit Muller, will be presented in a fashion show extravaganza and placed in a silent auction.
Sponsored by Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, MGM MIRAGE's destination resort on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, "A Fashion Extravaganza" will include a star-studded fashion show, cocktails and hor d'oeuvres, and silent and live auctions featuring costumes and other B&B memorabilia. Tickets are available at various prices; $300 Platinum which includes front row seats, complimentary champagne, a private meet & greet with B&B stars and a preview of the silent auction (limited number of tickets available), $150 second row (limited number of tickets available), and $75 for general seating. Tickets are available through the CPCA. A special room rate of $149 per night will be extended to guests.
"A Fashion Extravaganza" will be held at the luxurious AAA Four Diamond Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Miss. Named one of the top hotels in the continental United States and Canada by Travel + Leisure, Beau Rivage blends world-class amenities with world-famous Southern hospitality. Featuring 1,740 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites; 11 restaurants; four nightclubs and bars; a 1,550-seat theater; an upscale shopping promenade; a world-class spa & salon; and Fallen Oak, a new Tom Fazio designed championship golf course; Beau Rivage offers the finest destination resort experience in the Southeast.
The Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse was established in 1988 by The South Mississippi Exchange Club as a private non-profit human services agency. The main focus of the agency is to provide prevention, education and intervention programs to the abused, neglected and at-risk children and families in South Mississippi.
For more information on CPCA, or to purchase tickets, visit www.mscpca.com or call (228) 868-8686. For hotel reservations, contact Beau Rivage at (800) 567-6667 or visit www.beaurivage.com .
Oh and to refresh your memory, the Bold and the Beautiful celebrated its 20th anniversary on Friday, March 23, 2007. It is a Bell-Phillip Television production, broadcast weekdays (1:30-2:00 PM, ET; 12:30-1:00 PM, PT) on the CBS Television Network. Bradley P. Bell is the Executive Producer and Head Writer. Currently in its fifth year of being the first and only daytime drama to simulcast in Spanish utilizing SAP (Secondary Audio Program) technology, the show is the most watched daily dramatic serial in the world, viewed in more than 140 countries.

Even injury-plagued veteran Justin Hodges admitted it was a "big call" for the Broncos to re-sign him for another two NRL seasons.
But after inking a deal along with fellow 31-year-old co-captain Corey Parker until the end of the 2016 season, Hodges made his own bold declaration - Brisbane will win "one or two" premierships before he retires.
"The reason that keeps me here is another premiership," Hodges said.
"Hopefully before Corey and I hang up the boots we get at least another one or two.
"We have the cattle to do it."
Hodges has just returned from an eight-month layoff nursing a ruptured Achilles.
It is the latest in a string of injuries that have limited him to 160 games in 11 seasons for Brisbane and 217 overall including a four-year stint at the Sydney Roosters (2002-05) since his 2000 NRL debut.
"There have been challenges especially the latest injury," said Hodges.
"But thanks goes to the club for showing faith in me to get back and play some footy.
"It is a big call on their behalf to re-sign me for two years but I will do everything in my power to repay them.
"I still think there is some good footy ahead of me.
"There are some young blokes at the club that hopefully Corey and I help take to the next level.
"And they are making us feel young."
Asked if it was his last contract, Hodges said: "Hopefully not.
"But it all depends on the body."
At 284 games, Parker said breaking Darren Lockyer's 355-match club record was "feasible".
"But it's not something I am looking to break," he said.
"To still be living the dream with an opportunity to play 300 games at one club is something that is very dear to me."
Parker and Hodges - the first co-captains in Brisbane's 26-year history - have helped spark a Broncos on-field revival in 2014.
Enduring their longest premiership drought and coming off their worst season in history, the six-time premiers are fifth on the ladder (4-3 record) ahead of Friday night's Suncorp Stadium clash with South Sydney.
"We were lucky enough to get that (last premiership) in '06," Parker said.
"The feeling of satisfaction that you get when you win a comp is what keeps you playing.
"There are a lot of things we need to do right to achieve it but it is on our 'to do' list."

[[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] | based_on = See [[#Design]]. }} The '''Taxi''' is a four-door sedan-based taxi featured, in some form or other, in nearly all of the games in the [[GTA|Grand Theft Auto series]] (one exception being [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], where the [[Cabbie]] is the only taxi). Distinguishable by its yellow livery, it is often one of the most common vehicles on the road. Between [[GTA III era|GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories]], the Taxi can be used to perform [[Taxi Side Missions|taxi side-missions]]. == Design == === GTA 1 — GTA 2 === In [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], there are three versions of the Taxi; the [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]] version is based on the [[Portsmouth]], the [[City of San Andreas|San Andreas]] version is based on the [[Vulture]], and the [[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]] version is based on the [[Flamer]]. The Taxi in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]] is similar to an elongated [[wp:Fiat 500|Fiat 500]] with the checkered stripe crossing the roof horizontally.
=== GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories ===
From [[Grand Theft Auto III]] onwards, the Taxi is usually based on the same model as the [[Police Car|police car]] from its respective game:
* In GTA III, the Taxi resembles a cross between a late model [[wikipedia:Chevrolet Caprice|Chevrolet Caprice]] and [[wikipedia:Ford Crown Victoria|Ford Crown Victoria]]. There are minor variants available, with darker bumpers, and different taxi lights.
* In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the Taxi is a [[wp:Ford LTD|Ford LTD]] look-alike.
* In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] the Taxi is based on the [[Premier]], designed after the [[wp:Chevrolet_Caprice#1991-1996|1991-96 Chevrolet Caprice]].
* The Taxi in GTA Advance has little indication of which car it is based on, but is generally more boxy in design when compared to the game's [[Police Car|Police]] vehicle.
* The taxis in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] are largely identical to the GTA III and GTA Vice City renditions, respectively. The GTA Liberty City Stories rendition may appear with yellow, black or grey bumpers.

Taxi (GTA2) (Larabie).jpg|[[Ray Larabie]]'s original design for GTA 2's Taxi.
There are two different taxi sedans in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]; one built by [[Declasse]], based on the [[Merit]], and the other built by [[Vapid]], influenced strongly by the [[wp:Ford Crown Victoria|Ford Crown Victoria P72]]. Vapid Taxis may have yellow, grey or black bumpers; some have rooftop advertisements for WTF, Conjoined Twins, [[The Science Of Crime]], [[Weazel News]], and Banging Trash Can Lids For An Hour. The Vapid taxi shares a chassis with the [[Police Cruiser|Police]] and [[NOOSE Cruiser|NOOSE]] Cruisers; this chassis is not used in any non-fleet car. The taxi lights and rooftop advertisements can detach in collisions. Both models contain a [[wp:Taxicabs of New York City#Medallion taxicabs and livery taxicabs|medallion]] on the front hood, which is used to indicate that New York City taxis are licensed to pick up passengers; they also have a red marker on the back left.

== Performance ==
Early renditions of the Taxi are generally undesirable due to their mediocre performance. While differing between cities and partially based on muscle vehicles, GTA 1's taxis are generally slow, but compensate with good steering. In GTA 2 the opposite is the case, with moderate speed but sluggish controls, inferior to the [[Taxi Xpress]]. Both games' renditions have moderate crash endurance.
=== GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories ===
Although the appearance of the Taxi between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories varies drastically, the Taxi's performance in all the games of this era may be described as all-round average. With moderate speed, moderate acceleration, light construction, moderate endurance, capable steering and stable cornering (all traits which are helpful during [[Taxi Driver]] missions), the Taxi is generally an acceptable vehicle to drive. The vehicle is also front wheel drive, reducing the chances of tailspins when cornering and allowing the vehicle to perform 180-degree turns backwards or forward with ease.
The [[Declasse]] [[Merit]]-based taxi in GTA IV is powered by a V6, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a RWD layout. Acceleration is very good, and the top speed is above average. The brakes have been upgraded over the regular Merit, requiring a shorter stopping distance. The suspension has also had an upgrade, making this vehicle corner more effectively at speed. Crash deformation is acceptable, and the cab can survive a few frontal hits before failing.
The [[Vapid]] [[Police Cruiser]]-based Taxi is powered by a 4.6L V8, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a RWD layout. Acceleration is good, and the top speed is above average. Its braking and suspension are very good, identical to that of the [[Police Cruiser]]; ABS is standard, and the suspension easily handles cornering and smooths out the bumpy roads of Liberty City. Crash deformation is good, and the vehicle can sustain multiple frontal impacts before failing.
== Hailing a cab ==
In [[GTA Vice City]], and every subsequent game in the [[GTA III Era]], if the player gets [[Busted]] or [[Wasted]] during a mission, a cab outside the police station or hospital can return them to the mission's starting point.
A new feature introduced in GTA IV is the ability to hail cabs. The player can whistle for a cab, and, provided he is not [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted]] by the police, take a seat in the back and be driven anywhere in the city for a fee. Upon entering the Taxi, the player can use a terminal within the vehicle to direct the driver to various preset landmarks (safehouses, mission starting locations, recreational facilities such as bowling alleys or the [[Helitours]] depot, etc); the player can also direct the driver to any waypoint they set, and during some missions, the player can take a taxi to (stationary) mission markers. The taxi fare is determined by distance, and whether the player used the 'hurry' option (which allows the driver to drive aggressively and ignore road rules) or 'trip-skip' option (where the journey is omitted entirely, the game resuming as the cab pulls up at its location). If the player acts aggressively or receives a wanted level while riding in a taxi, the driver will stop the car and run away in fear.
Cabs that already have passengers won't normally stop when hailed, but if caught, they can still be used - the player will pull the passenger out of the back seat and hop in. Passengers do not retaliate, and there is no [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|Wanted]] penalty or reaction from the driver.
In GTA IV, the player can get free cab rides from [[Roman Bellic]] after the player has earned his respect (Roman will call to inform the player once the service is available). Selecting "Car Services" from Roman's address-book entry in the [[Cell Phone]] will initiate a call to Roman, and he will dispatch one of his [[Roman's Taxi|cabs]] to the player's location. In the beginning of the game, Roman's taxis are customised dark grey [[Esperanto]]s (see [[Roman's Taxi]]), but as his fortunes rise, his company switches to using dark grey [[Cavalcade]]s.
== Taxi side mission ==
{{main|Taxi Driver}}
==Modifications (GTA San Andreas)==
The Taxi is one of only a handful of public vehicles that could be customized at a modification workshop, specially, at [[Transfender]].
The modification options (see Transfender article for pricing) of the vehicle include:
* 1 color: For the body.
* 2 scoops: Champ and Fury.
* 2 exhausts: Medium and Twin.
* 3 types of nitrous boasts: 2x, 5x and 10x.
* 2 spoilers: Win and Alpha.
* 10 wheels: Import, Atomic, Ahab, Virtual, Access, Off Road Wheel, Mega, Grove, Twist and Wires.
* Bass boast on car stereo.
* Hydraulics.
*[[Bickle '76]]
==Taxi Companies==
*[[Borgnine Taxis]]
*[[Kaufman Cabs]]
*[[Mean Street Taxis]]
*[[Sunnyside Taxis]]
*[[Vice City Cabs]]
*In some of the games in the series, Taxis' radios default to certain stations. They are as follows:
** [[GTA Vice City]] and [[GTA Vice City Stories]]: [[Espantoso]] or [[VCPR]]
** [[GTA San Andreas]]: [[CSR 103.9]]
** [[GTA Liberty City Stories]]: [[Radio Del Mundo]]
** [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]]: [[San Juan Sounds]] (Declasse Taxi); [[WKTT]], [[PLR]], [[Integrity 2.0]] (Vapid Taxi)
* In GTA Vice City, Taxis have white spots on the windshield due to an error in applying the vehicle's reflection map.
* In GTA III and GTA Vice City, Taxis may spawn without their lights on top. In GTA IV, the taxi light can be broken off by impacts.
* Taxi drivers tend to be vengeful, exiting their vehicle and assaulting the player if he or she damages their vehicle; they may pull the player out of their own vehicles, or throw punches if they meet the player on foot. In GTA IV, they may cling onto the player's car door while he or she attempts to escape, until the gaining speed forces them to let go.
* The GTA IV Taxi originally had a black variant, as seen in the [[Vladimir Glebov]] trailer.
* In GTA Vice City, a beta texture from taxi can be seen from afar.
* A Vapid Taxi can be found parked in an alley near Manganese Street and Burlesque in [[Star Junction]], [[Algonquin]].
* Taxis are the the most commonly spawning vehicles in Liberty City, and are particularly common in [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]] and throughout [[Algonquin]], especially [[Star Junction]] where Taxis make up the majority of road traffic. Taxis are less common in peripheral, industrial and suburban areas of the city; notably, taxis will never spawn in [[Acter Industrial Park]] ([[Alderney]]), and during the night in [[South Bohan]] ([[Bohan]]). They are also constantly driving through the streets of [[ Beachgate ]] ([[ Broker |Broker]]).

An engineers guide to FRAM
1 Comment
Ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) is a non-volatile memory. FRAM has significant technical advantages that enable solutions not possible with other memory technology. The underlying molecular structure of an FRAM memory cell is shown in figure 1. When an electric field is applied across the ferroelctric crystal, the central atom moves in the direction of the applied field.
To see a bigger version of this graphic click here.
The polarity of this atom remains when the electric field is removed, preserving the data within the memory without the need for periodic refresh.Understanding the three principle benefits of FRAM enables an electronics engineer to acheive a more efficent and superior design:
* NoDelay Write: FRAM writes so quickly that there is no need to wait for the write to complete. Typical write speed for FRAM is around 55 nanoseconds as compared to the much slower 5 milliseconds write speed for EEPROM.
* Virtually Unlimited Endurance: FRAM can withstand 1E14 (100-trillion) read/write cycles, making it virtually impossible to wear out.
* Low Power: FRAM requires much less power to perform writes. For example, erasing and writing 64kbits of data in an FRAM consumes 1/60th the power of that used by an EEPROM and 1/400th that used by a serial flash.
Now that weve covered the basics, lets see how we can apply FRAM technology to benefit your product features and time-to-market.
Using FRAM is simple. Serial FRAMs are compatible with serial EEPROMs and parallel FRAMs are compatible with parallel SRAMs. Existing software will work with FRAMs but most engineers chose to re-work the software. There are two significant software modules that may be employed with EEPROM or flash that are not needed for FRAM. Removing this redundant code makes software faster to run, easier to debug, and consumes less code space.
The first of these modules is the function necessary to wait for EEPROM or flash to complete the write operation. There is no point in polling the FRAM to see if the write has completed (the write will have finished before you can check), but this feature is supported in case you dont want change your EEPROM software.
The second module that is redundant with FRAM is software that performs wear levelling. Wear levelling is a technique often used with flash or EEPROM to distribute memory writes to numerous locations so that the write cycle limit of any location is not exceeded. With FRAMs virtually unlimited endurance this function is not necessary.

Portrait of Juana of Austria and a Young Girl
Oil on canvas, 194 x 108.3 cm
Genre: European Art, Paintings
Location: Titian Room
Accession Number: P26w15
Isabella Stewart Gardner bought this painting as a Titian, although she had been warned by Bernard Berenson that the attribution was in some doubt. Perhaps reluctant to disappoint his patron, Berenson changed his mind, and helped Gardner with the purchase. She hung the painting opposite Titian's Europa. Although not by Titian, it was painted at precisely the same time that the Europa arrived at the Spanish court.
Sofonisba Anguissola was born into a minor aristocratic family in Cremona, and studied painting under Bernardino Campi. In 1560, she was appointed painter to the new queen of Spain, Isabel de Valois (1546–1568), who had become Philip II's third wife. She taught the young queen drawing and made numerous portraits of the royal family and members of the court.
The subject of the portrait, Juana of Austria (1535–1573), was a formidable politician and patron of the arts. Daughter of Charles V (she wears a cameo of the emperor in this painting), Juana married Prince Juan of Portugal. After just two years of marriage, Juan died and Juana returned to Spain to become regent while her brother Philip II was in England. Although she was celebrated for her ability in state affairs, Juana thereafter devoted her energies to religious life. In 1557, she founded a monastery, the Descalzas Reales, which became an important center of artistic patronage. This portrait was painted in 1561 for the pope, and was thus meant to show Juana's religious devotion. The child by her side is probably a young aristocrat under her protection who is being prepared to enter the religious order.

In the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing game, most commonly the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, the Pterafolk[1] are a race of humanoid pterosaur-like creatures, who have a magical ability to turns their wings into arms and back again when they wish.
Pterafolk live in largely-inhospitable regions of Chult. They are a savage, tribal race, created by the sarrukh to serve as warriors, but their intractable nature proved too volatile for that role.
- ↑ In AD&D 2nd edition, the race was known as Pteramen, the suffix was changed into -folk with the advent of 3rd edition, to coincide with other changes away from sex-specific monster names, e.g. lizardfolk and mongrelfolk.

Print Nothing says quality like a product that has been around for over 120 years, like Pendleton wool clothing. Founded by a young English weaver, Thomas Kay, this company continues to thrive under the direction of Kay's family. Thomas Kay's eldest daughter, Fannie, learned the mill business and ably assisted her father in mill operation and management. When she married retail merchant C.P. Bishop, a complementary combination of merchandising and manufacturing expertise emerged - a solid foundation for what was to become Pendleton Woolen Mills. This dual textile-retail heritage was passed on to the three Bishop sons, Clarence, Roy and Chauncey. In 1909, with family and town backing, the Bishop sons started up an idle mill in Pendleton, Oregon. The mill, originally built in 1893, faced increased freight tariffs and the business became unprofitable. In 1895, the scouring plant was enlarged and converted into a woolen mill which made bed blankets and robes for Native Americans. In 1912, the addition of a weaving mill in Washougal, WA, broadened Pendleton's capability for fabric variety, including suitings. Wool shirts for men were largely utility items in the early 20th century. In 1924, the legendary Pendleton virgin wool men's shirt was born. Pendleton has thrived under the direction of the Bishop family. Today, their sons have assumed management roles in the company. C.M. Bishop III is president and John and Charles are vice presidents. Another son, Peter, is manager of the Catalog/Internet Division. This family thread has continued to produce Pendleton leadership with a legacy of hands-on management for six generations -- warranted to be a Pendleton since 1863.

The Location
Ask most people what comes to mind when they think of Romania and you're likely to hear something along the lines of Dracula, vampires and gypsies. Yes, the spooky castles pitched on rocky hilltops are certainly vampire-worthy but the only real fangs you're likely to be exposed to here are those belonging to the wild bears, wolves and lynx that roam the Carpathian Mountains. Once you place the stereotypes aside for a moment, you'll soon understand how misunderstood, overlooked and vastly underestimated this country is.
From the untouched Transylvanian countryside and the beautiful mountain scenery in the Carpathian Mountains, the wooden churches and painted monasteries of Maramures and the medieval towns of Brasov, Sibiu and Sighisoara, to the Danube Delta's abundance of birds and wildlife, and the magnetic buzz of the fast-paced capital of Bucharest, the variation and contrast across Romania is staggering.
Of course, there's far too much to see in just one visit but here's what to expect from the Ice Hotel…
The Ice Hotel
Nestled between the icy peaks of the Fagaras Mountains and veiled by clouds, the remote Ice Hotel stands 2000m above sea level and can only be accessed via cable car. Each winter, once the Balea Lake freezes over, the locals cut and drag blocks of the icy lake to the location of the hotel, which is set against a magnificent backdrop. Hand carved by local craftsmen using traditional techniques, the frozen Balea Lake is transformed into the beautifully intricate structures of the Ice Hotel and its magical Ice Church. With individually sculptured rooms of ice, each and every corner of the Ice Hotel is stunningly unique and is re-designed every winter.
A stay at the Ice Hotel is truly a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity. The experience begins in style as you are transported up through the misty, snow covered mountain peaks by cable car; a trip that affords incredible panoramas of the surrounding alpine area studded with rich coniferous forests. Once you're up on the mountain there is a range of snow-based activities to get involved with and the Sub Zero Ice Bar is always open for a very cool beverage served in customary ice glasses.
Aside from a range of snow-based activities to get involved with, the main highlight of your stay is sure to be The Ice Hotel Dining Experience at the world's first and only Ice Restaurant. The fairytale evening meal is set within the Ice Hotel itself with two of four courses served on plates of ice at your very own frozen table and fur-lined thrones of ice.
Although temperatures in the Ice Hotel typically waiver between -2 and +2 degrees, guests find themselves enjoying a surprisingly cosy night's sleep, particularly those who have indulged in a nightcap before bedtime. Ice beds are covered with insulating reindeer fur then topped with mattresses for extra comfort. Bedding, further furs, and specialist sleeping bags are all provided and bathroom facilities are located nearby.
The Season
The Ice Hotel season runs throughout the winter and during the initial part of the spring, with the official opening date set on Christmas Day, the 25th of December, each year. The Ice Hotel stays open to guests all the way up until the end of April after which time the warm weather sets in and the frozen structures of the hotel, church and igloos begin to melt. However, each year the Ice Hotel has been forced to close earlier and earlier as a result of global warming which is what we've decided not to take any bookings in April at all to avoid disappointment.
The construction of the Ice Hotel can only begin once the Balea Lake completely freezes over, which usually occurs right at the beginning of December after which point the building, sculpting and carving commences. However, the unpredictable nature of the weather has an impact on the Ice Hotel season, making it difficult for us to predict the exact date the hotel, church and igloos will be completed and the precise moment that the ice starts to melt. The season up at the Ice Hotel changes month on month, the finer details of which are outlined below. Each month is different but equally special.
December: The festive season offers a truly magical experience up at the Ice Hotel, with Christmas and New Year celebrations in full swing. The New Year's Eve party at the Ice Hotel is particularly special complete with fireworks and bubbles when the clock strikes 12. You'll also be the very first visitors to sleep in the ice-suites and eat at the Ice Restaurant at Christmas.
January: January is a great time to visit the Ice Hotel because the vast majority of the structures will have been built and all the ice sculptures and decorations are brand new and polished.
February: This is the prime time to visit the Ice Hotel. The Ice Church and Igloos will almost certainly have been completely constructed and the weather is usually sunny and crisp. February also plays host to Valentine's Day on the 14th which is celebrated in style at the Ice Hotel. Romance on ice, if you will.
March: March affords visitors to the Ice Hotel almost guaranteed blue skies and sunshine. There's still lots of snow but you get the best of both worlds. In fact, it's not unusual to find yourself enjoying a coffee outside in a Transylvanian town's café with the sun beating down with surprising strength onto both your face and the snow-covered streets.
The Duration & The Calendar
The Ice Hotel Experience takes place over four nights and five days and typically commences every Friday and Saturday during the season. However, the arrival and departure times of your chosen flights may well affect the exact duration of your stay. Many use the flexibility of booking their own flights to add an additional night or two (or three) in Bucharest at the beginning and/or end of the experience to make the very most of their time in Romania.
Those looking for a shorter break might find the Mini Ice Hotel Experience more appropriate as it takes place over three nights and is the perfect fit for a weekend getaway. For more information click here >

The Highlights
There are hundreds of reasons why we think you would be mad not to miss this experience, but here are a few of our personal trip highlights to help persuade you…
The Winter Wonderland Landscape: No other ice hotel can offer you the magical experience that comes from being nestled between gorgeous mountainous peaks. While other ice hotels are commonly found next to woodland or long stretches of monotonous landscape, Romania's Ice Hotel is located over 2000m above sea level up in the Fagaras Mountains and overlooks breath-taking alpine valleys. In the winter, it is only accessible by cable car making it incredibly remote and exclusive.
The World's Only Ice Restaurant: Home to the only Ice Restaurant in the world, the Ice Hotel Dining Experience is one of our best and brightest highlights. Diners are treated to a delicious four-course dinner with starters and dessert served on plates of ice and complimentary cocktails at the Sub Zero Ice Bar to boot. It is pure magic.
The Snow Suites & Igloos: One of our favourite things about the Ice Hotel is exploring the wonderful ice rooms and interiors of the igloos. Redesigned each winter, every single room is individual and boasts unique snow sculptures and magical mood lighting that fits in with the overall theme of the hotel. You can even spend the night in your very own private igloo.
The Ice Church: Just a stone's throw away from the main Ice Hotel is the magical Ice Church, which plays host to white weddings, christenings and renewal of vows. From the altar and the pews to the collection box and even the organ, every sculpture in the Ice Church is made from ice with stunning intricate details and carvings. It really is something special. If you're after your very own fairy tale wedding, do get in touch.

We loved the ice hotel – I've been to the one in Lapland before but the setting at Balea Lac was really beautiful – it was such a stunning location it was much better in my eyes and we had a brilliant time." –Catriona, February 2011

ASPIRING musicians from schools in Bridgwater had the chance over Easter to head out a manor in the Quantocks to learn folk music.
Students from Chilton Trinity, Haygrove, Robert Blake and Bridgwater College Academy went to Halsway Manor near Crowcombe where they prepared for a performance at the manor's Hothouse Festival last Saturday.
Joe Hardman said: "At Halsway Manor it's great to be surrounded by like-minded musicians. It's a great place to develop knowledge and further yourself as a musician."
This is the third year the six-day course has been run, which gets bursary funding from Futures for Somerset to run the course.
Luke Shadrick said: "The tutors are really inspirational and it's had a really positive impact on my music."
Joe Bevan said: "Before I came to Halsway I had never played folk music. It's enjoyable to play and lots of fun."

For Corsicans, it is a flower symbolic of the maquis (the fragrant scrubland of Corsica), with a captivating scent. The Balagne region is also known as "the garden of Corsica". In 2001, at the heart of this fragrant region, L'OCCITANE discovered this extraordinary wild plant. The immortelle has medicinal properties known in Mediterranean traditions: anti-bruising, anti-inflammatory (more effective than arnica), and healing. Traceability Ever since the remarkable anti-aging properties of the immortelle plant were discovered, the picking of wild immortelle has become increasingly common. When the flowers are picked in accordance with sustainable guidelines, this actually "cleans up" the maquis and indirectly helps to prevent fires. However, the volumes harvested do not allow for a sustainable supply of immortelle. This is why, in 2004, L'OCCITANE launched a large-scale immortelle plantation, covering 50 hectares, in Corsica, using organic farming methods. In 2011, six growers/distillers cultivated and distilled organic immortelle in the Balagne region and eastern Corsica. Quality and traceability can be guaranteed, from the harvesting to the distillation of the flower. All our partners are committed to working with L'OCCITANE over the long term. Stephan Francisci was the first to start this new adventure. He now cultivates 10 hectares for L'OCCITANE between Bastia and Porto-Vecchio. "Each flower cultivated saves a wild plant of the maquis." Pascale Chérubin, based in Ghisonaccia, is a biologist professor and owns 5 hectares. "This flower has done well for me. I always felt that the whole of Corsica was concentrated in the immortelle, with its spicy smell." Did You Know? • The flowers are picked in the morning and distilled the same day, in the evening, to extract all their constituents. • 1 hectare provides enough land to produce 4 tons of flowers, which yield 8 kilos of essential oil. Patented Effectiveness L'OCCITANE has registered four patents, which attest to the innovative nature of our research into cell regeneration and the remarkable effectiveness of our skincare products made with immortelle from Corsica.• Patent 1: Anti-aging with the Precious Cream: radiance-enhancing action (multiplies collagen production), smoothing (boosts skin microcirculation) and firming (protects the skin against free radicals).• Patent 2: Anti-aging night care with the Very Precious Cream: patent 1 enhanced by repairing and anti-dark spot action.• Patent 3: Complete anti-aging action and action on cellular youth with the Divine Cream: stimulates the production of SIRT-1 by fibroblasts.• Patent 4: The synergy of new immortelle cell extracts and immortelle essential oil, with the new Precious Cream: strengthens the skin's support network and stimulates the natural exfoliation of deep cells.

HOUSTON - Community activists demanded answers and an investigation Monday after an officer shot and killed a double-amputee in a wheelchair.
According to Houston police, an officer responded to a domestic disturbance complaint at a group home on Polk and Sidney in southwest Houston around 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Police said the person in charge of the home said the man inside, Brian Claunch, 45, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, was threatening other residents.
"When officers arrived and went inside to speak to him, he was situated in a wheelchair holding an unknown object," said Jodi Silva with the Houston Police Department.
Claunch was in a wheelchair because he had lost his right arm and leg in a train accident.
The officers said Claunch was swinging the shiny object in a threatening manner towards them and the residents. Investigators said the officers told Claunch to drop the object, but he refused. Detectives said Claunch backed an officer into a corner and tried to stab the officer with the object.
Police said five-year veteran Matthew Marin then fired his gun at Claunch, shooting him in the head.
Officials with the Houston Police Department said the object Claunch was wielding turned out to be a shiny ballpoint pen.
"It's tight quarters in there, and he was able to corner the officer back into the corner of the room," said Silva.
Claunch was pronounced dead at the scene.
"He could be nice, but he could also get very angry very quickly," said John Garcia of Healing Hands, the home where Claunch lived. "For having a missing arm and a missing leg, he was pretty strong and he was pretty agile."
Homicide detectives as well as Internal Affairs are investigating the case. Marin will work three days of desk duty. Houston police records indicate that Marin also fatally shot a suspect in 2009. Investigators at the time said Marin came upon a man stabbing his neighbor to death at an apartment complex and opened fired when the suspect refused to drop the knife.
The Greater Houston Coalition for Justice is calling on U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to launch a full investigation of "patterns and practices of civil rights violations by the Houston Police Department against minorities and others." The Texas Civil Rights Project has also demanded an open investigation.
"This killing is very disturbing," TCRP director and attorney Amin Alehashem said. "HPD has not explained how or why two officers responding to a routine call came to feel threatened by a by a man in a wheelchair with two limbs and a pen. There are far too many questions left unanswered today for the public to blindly accept HPD's assurances that the shooting of this man in a wheelchair was justified."
"The Houston Police Department places the highest value on human life and events like these are tragic and unfortunate for everyone involved," Police Chief Charles McClelland said. "All Houston Police officers receive mandatory crisis intervention training specifically dealing with persons experiencing mental crisis."
McClelland said HPD's Homicide and Internal Affairs division, the Harris County District Attorney's Office's Civil Rights Division and the FBI are investigating the shooting.
"As I have done throughout my tenure as police chief, to the extent I can, the Houston Police Department will be open and transparent in all aspects of our response to this tragic event," McClelland said. "It is my desire to have everyone reserve judgment until all the facts and evidence in this investigation have been gathered."
Houston Mayor Annise Parker released a statement about the shooting.
"I want to express my condolences to Mr. Claunch's family and friends. As for any comment on the circumstances, there is a process in place to determine if the officer acted appropriately. In addition to the usual internal review, Chief McClelland has taken the additional step of asking the local office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) within the U.S. Department of Justice to monitor our investigation of this incident. Until the facts are in place, it is premature to draw any conclusions. I have utmost respect for the very difficult job of our Houston Police Department. However, if there were mistakes made, I know the police chief will take appropriate action," Parker said.
Claunch had a criminal record including possession, trespassing, auto theft and resisting arrest.

Phillies lose in 14th after Papelbon's blown save
PHILADELPHIA -- Scouts filled more than a dozen seats Monday to watch Cliff Lee's return to the Phillies rotation.
But just because Lee's next start is Saturday, it does not mean the scouts have scattered. They remain in Philadelphia because the Phillies have numerous players that contending teams hope to acquire before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. The Phillies gave those scouts a good long look at nearly everybody on their roster in Tuesday's 9-6 loss in 14 innings to the Giants at Citizens Bank Park.
The game took five hours, 46 minutes to play, but it should have been finished in the ninth. Instead, Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon allowed his first home run of the season when Buster Posey hit a first-pitch fastball for a game-tying solo home run to left-center field. It was just the third extra-base hit Papelbon had allowed this season and his third blown save in 26 opportunities.
"One pitch," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "It's a pitch that came back to the plate. But he's been on a good roll."
Papelbon, who left the clubhouse before it opened to reporters, has made it explicitly clear he wants to be traded, but one home run should not hurt his trade value.
"He's been pitching great all year," Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard said. "It happens to all of us. You can't just put it on him. We win as a team. We lose as a team. It's not just one guy."
The game remained tied into the 14th when Phillies right-hander Jeff Manship allowed a one-out double to Posey before intentionally walking Pablo Sandoval to set up a potential inning-ending double play. A sacrifice bunt advanced runners to second and third, and Manship walked Gregor Blanco to load the bases.
Brandon Crawford followed with a double to left-center to clear the bases.
The outcome meant little for the Phillies' fate. They are going to try to be sellers before the Trade Deadline, no matter if they won or lost. Some of those candidates made their contributions much earlier Tuesday.
Jimmy Rollins is very likely to remain in red pinstripes through the Trade Deadline. He has 10-and-5 rights and has said he wants to stay in Philadelphia. He hit a two-run home run to right field in the fifth inning to hand the Phillies a 4-3 lead. Rollins is hitting .262 (11-for-42) with five home runs and 13 RBIs in his last 10 games.
He entered the night ninth out of 26 qualifying shortstops with a .724 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage).
He can still play.
Right fielder Marlon Byrd has value to a team looking for a right-handed power bat. He knocked in a run in the first, doubled with two outs in the fifth and made a leaping catch near the wall in the sixth. Left-hander Antonio Bastardo, whom many teams seek to boost their bullpens, picked up the final out of the sixth.
Phillies right-hander Roberto Hernandez allowed five hits, three runs, three walks and one home run and struck out one in 5 2/3 innings. He figures neither to be traded nor part of the team's future, but he is noteworthy because one of the things the Phillies would like to acquire before the Trade Deadline is starting pitching.
Hernandez and Kyle Kendrick will be free agents following the season. If the Phillies trade Lee and A.J. Burnett in the coming days, weeks or months, they will need people to take their place. If Kendrick and Hernandez go elsewhere, that could leave the rotation with Cole Hamels, David Buchanan and some serious holes to fill.
But the Phillies need offense, too. They were 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position Tuesday. It has been a problem all season.
"Sometimes it's wanting to get it done a little bit too much," Howard said. "It's tough."

Jims car from Bruce is on Ebay
Post site ads and trader requests here.
I can picture, first of all, my many nieces and nephews piling into the car and stuffing it like clowns into a phone booth.....arms and legs sticking out in every direction. Every single one of them loves Jim - little wonder, huh?!?! Twenty-one adolescents-to-teenagers-to-young-adults, including my girls. What a group photo that would make...!!
You could examine it for Jim hairs then take the hairs to a lab and make Jim clones for everybody.
I expect you'll have to pay more insurance on it because its a collectible.
"You Cant Stop Me No Matter Who You Are"
if you only knew how much my car insurance already costs...!! 23 points on my license since december......no sh!t. it's not going to be driven very much, if at all. it's taking the place of a one-of-a-kind Cunningham race car that used to be in my sister's garage....so basically it's going to sit there a LOT.

ORGANISERS of the Royal International Air Tattoo are urging spectators to leave plenty of time for their journey to the airfield this weekend.
The air show, at RAF Fairford, takes place from Friday to Sunday with thousands of people expected to attend over the course of the three days.
Saturday's show has sold out but there are still a limited number of tickets remaining for tomorrow and Sunday.
Richard Arquati, spokesperson for RIAT, said final preparations are going well but urged people to organise their transport to and from the airfield.
"Everything is looking good, the aircraft have started arriving from around the world and we're looking forward to an exciting Air Tattoo," he said.
"The advice I'd give to anyone travelling down, however, is leave plenty of time to get here. Make sure you don't leave home without a ticket. Friday is sold out but there are a few still remaining for Friday and Sunday."
The shuttle bus service from Swindon bus station to RAF Fairford runs from 7am to noon on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and coming back, it runs from 2pm to 6pm on Friday, and 2pm to 7.30pm on Saturday and Sunday.
If you are travelling to the air tattoo by car, use postcode GL7 4EG. When you are near to the air show, you will see colour coded AA road signs, at which point you should follow these instead of your sat nav.
Traffic from the North East should approach via Burford and Lechlade, along the A417 and then through Whelford village into the Red car parks. Traffic on the A420 should avoid approaching Lechlade from the South East.
Traffic from the South and South East on the M4 should travel north along the A419(T) (exit M4 at Junction 15) then, after Cricklade, depart left onto the C124 towards Kempsford and into the Blue car parks.
Those drivers coming from the West, South West and Bristol on the M4, should exit at Junction 17 and travel north towards Malmesbury, turning north east on to the B4040 towards Minety and then north on the B4696 towards Ashton Keynes (Cotswold Water Park). Traffic passes over the A419 joining the Cirencester Road south bound through Latton.
Traffic travelling from the North West (M5 Junc-tion 11A and Chelt-enham) should follow the A417 south, exiting at the Burford Road junction and joining the A417 eastbound towards Fairford. Traffic will be directed through Meysey Hampton into the Green car parks.
Traffic travelling from the West should follow the Cirencester ring road to the south of the town and use the old A419 past South Cerney airfield. Carry straight on at the first roundabout and follow the road parallel to the A419. At the second roundabout turn left, over the A419 and bear right towards Latton. Turn left to Down Ampney and follow signs to the Green car parks.
Richard added: "Additional overflow routes also exist to relieve congestion on all the main routes. Drivers should however be aware that once in the vicinity of RAF Fairford they will be directed onto the designated Air Tattoo routes as agreed with the police."

I'm pretty new to Python, so for fun and exercise I've been trying to write a procedure in which I input a number, and output every prime number in the interval [0:n].
I managed to do it pretty quickly by first defining a procedure that recognises and returns primes but later on I realised that I wanted two outputs so that if the input number was prime, I'd get True , n and if it wasn't I'd get False , 0.
But now, whenever I run the procedure that gives me all the primes it always ends the list with "None" and I can't figure out why!
Heres the definitions:
- Code: Select all
def round_number(n):
num = n + 0.5
return int(str(num)[:str(num).find('.')])
def prime(n):
i = 1
while i <= n:
i = i + 1
if n / (i * 1.0) == round_number(n / (i * 1.0)):
if n / i != 1:
return False , 0
return n / i == 1 , n
def every_prime(n):
i = 2
while i <= n:
is_it_prime , the_prime = prime(i)
if is_it_prime == True:
print the_prime
i = i + 1
Thank you for your help

Topic: Off to ASCO
Friday morning I will be heading to Chicago for the to American Society of Clinical Oncology conference. Here I will meet up with Barbara, (NH,) Stella, Brian (I hope,) Karen, who is attending on a Research Advocate grant and Percy, who also has received the same grant. Additionally Percy has signed up for the Three –Annual Meeting
Seminars, beginning tomorrow.
I mentioned previously that The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation has been chosen to receive (for the second year) one of the 20 premier locations available to not-for-profit patient advocacy organizations. As you know the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation was born out of love and every hour that has gone into it has been volunteered by board members and numerous other, wonderful people. We are thrilled and grateful to the ASCO organization to grant us this special venue to promote our foundation and to give us the opportunity to interact and exchange information with physicians, researchers, and fellow advocates.
Percy and Karen will have to attend specific sessions geared to Research Advocacy however; I hold out hope for us to be able to connect at the booth or the Advocacy lounge for a picture and some talk. We may also have the ability to connect during the Research Review Sessions for Patient Advocates. During these sessions, expert faculty will review and highlight disease-specific topics and oncology-related subjects. It is then followed by a question and answer period.
Unlike the previous years the poster board presentations will be accessible at all times. This is really helpful because; in the past posters were removed at a specific time to make room for the next set of presentations. Considering the size of McCormick Hall and the numerous sessions to attend we had encountered some real difficulties in getting there on time. We are looking forward to the reports given by Karen and Percy.
Stella and Barbara have accepted invitations to the ASCO President's Recognition Reception on Saturday evening. During the reception, ASCO President, Michael Link, MD, will honor ASCO leaders, members, volunteers, and patient advocates for the important work they do to help support and advocate on behalf of the cancer community.
So, if you don't hear much from either Percy or me then you know the reasons. We are looking forward to reporting back to you soon after the conference.
Hugs to all,
