For example, at least a portion of the front face of the smoking article lies in a plane (e.g., a generally flat plane) that is positioned about 40� to about 50� relative to the longitudinal axis of that smoking article. As such, the overall nature or character of the mainstream aerosol generated by a smoking article can be altered. This shape may include an ellipse, or may include a first section in a plane not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a second section in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Alternatively, the face of the lighting end may have a shape such that its surface area is greater than the cross-sectional area of the smoking article.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to smoking articles, and in particular, to generally rod-shaped smoking articles, such as cigarettes. Each smoking article comprises a lighting end or tip (i.e., an upstream end), and a mouth end (i.e., a downstream end). In one regard, the smoking article may include an aerosol-generating system that includes (i) a heat generation segment (e.g., a short heat source comprising a combustible material, such as a carbonaceous material) located at the upstream end, and (ii) an aerosol-generating region or segment located downstream from the heat generation segment. In another regard, the smoking article may include smokable material (e.g., a roll of tobacco in cut filler form) wrapped in a circumscribing paper wrapper, thereby forming a tobacco rod. The lighting end or tip of the smoking article is configured in such a manner that the entire front or upstream face thereof does not lie in a plane that is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the smoking article. For example, for a cylindrically-shaped smoking article rod having a generally circular cross-sectional shape, the upstream face (i.e., the front face) of the smoking article can resemble an ellipse in general appearance, and not resemble a circle, when viewed at an angle generally perpendicular to the nominal plane of the front face. In one embodiment for example, the front face (i.e, exposed end surface) of the lighting end of the smoking article may lie along a front plane (e.g., a generally flat plane, such as can be provided by slicing or otherwise forming the lighting end of the smoking article in an essentially straight line) that is positioned at least about 30�, and often at least about 40� relative to the longitudinal axis of that smoking article; and up to about 70�, and often up to about 60� relative to the longitudinal axis of the smoking article. Alternatively, the front face of the smoking article may lie along a somewhat curved plane (e.g., in a parabolic-type configuration, in a convex or concave manner, where the side profile of the front face is a part of a parabolic-type contour), wherein the somewhat curved front face nominally lies along a front plane that is at least about 30�, and often at least about 40� relative to the longitudinal axis of that smoking article; and up to about 70�, and often up to about 60� relative to the longitudinal axis of the smoking article. For certain embodiments, the front face can be configured so as to possess a relatively flat form and appearance; however, if desired the front face can be configured so as to have a somewhat rough or what might be characterized as a serrated appearance.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all aspects of the invention are shown. Indeed, the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the aspects set forth herein; rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.
EXAMPLE 1 Filter cigarettes that are manufactured using automated cigarette making machine technology are provided. Those cigarettes incorporate tobacco rods composed of an �American blend� of tobaccos in cut filler form. The tobacco cut filler is cased and flavored. The tobacco rods possess an outer layer of paper wrapping material that circumscribes the tobacco cut filler such that each end of the cylindrical rods so formed is open to expose the tobacco within that rod. Each tobacco rod has a length of about 57 mm and a circumference of about 25 mm. Each cigarette possesses a filter element composed of cellulose acetate plasticized using triacetin, and the length of each filter element is about 27 mm. The tipping paper that connects each filter element to each tobacco rod circumscribes the length of each filter element and about 4 mm of the adjacent region of the tobacco rod. A circumscribing ring of laser perforations through the tipping material and plug wrap of each cigarette provides cigarettes that are air diluted. A razor blade or scissors is used to cut a portion of the tobacco rod from certain cigarettes at the extreme lighting ends of those cigarettes. The cigarettes have the general appearance of the cigarette described previously with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The angled straight cut at the lighting end of each tobacco rod is at about 45� relative to the longitudinal axis of each cigarette. For those cigarettes having angled lighting ends, no further treatment of those cigarette ends is provided (i.e., no chemical additives are added to the exposed end of the cigarette or to the wrapping material of the tobacco rod in the lighting region of the cigarette). However, if desired, the cigarettes may be held upright, filter end down, and tapped lightly several times on a table or counter top, in order to provide for some compaction of the tobacco cut filler within the tobacco rod; or tobacco cut filler at the lighting end of the cigarette can be pressed lightly into the tobacco rod, in a type of �dense ending� fashion.
EXAMPLE 2 Cigarettes marketed under the trade name �Eclipse� by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company are obtained. A razor blade is used to slice away a portion of the lighting end of each cigarette, and as such, cigarettes of the type described previously with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 are provided. The angled straight cut of each lighting end is at about 45� relative to the longitudinal axis of each cigarette, and as such, the entire lighting end of the carbonaceous fuel element is angled at about 45� relative to the longitudinal axis of each cigarette. For those cigarettes having angled lighting ends, no further treatment of those cigarette ends is provided (i.e., no chemical additives are added to the exposed end of the cigarette or to the wrapping material of the tobacco rod in the lighting region of the cigarette).

Ollie Locke chops off his glossy long tresses into short, slick style | Daily Mail Online
What have we ear! Ollie Locke chops off his trademark tresses into shorter slick new style
04:12 EST, 16 August 2012
13:19 EST, 16 August 2012
He found fame flouncing around London with his long glossy mane flowing in the wind behind him. But Made In Chelsea star Ollie Locke has undergone a radical transformation chopping off his trademark hair. The 24-year-old was seen out with a new radically shorter slicked back hairdo as he left a society event last week. New ears, new hair: Ollie Locke has stepped out showing off a short slicked back hair style after having his ears pinned back
Hair today gone tomorrow: Ollie has cut off his luscious locks after having his ears pinned back New look: Ollie Locke has lopped off his hair into a short style to show off his recent cosmetic surgery. The reality star was seen with his co-star Francesca Hull at Prince Albert's Olympic party at the Maison de Monaco last week
Rear view: Ollie has had considerable length taken off his hair
But the cut doesn't just signify an image change for the self-dubbed 'relationships writer'.Ollie's new locks show off his recent cosmetic surgery - The Made In Chelsea star had his ears pinned back at the end of last month.
'She would hit me and my sisters with baseball bats': Wild...
He's definitely wanted... Max George gets mobbed by fans as...
The reality star has voiced concern over his appearance on the reality show but decided to go under the knife ahead of the new series of MIC. Three
weeks ago Ollie was seen emerging from a practice on Harley Street in London with a bandage wrapped around his head following the otoplasty procedure. At the time Dr Yannis, the physician who performed the procedure, said: 'Mr. Locke came to me a while ago with his concerns about his ears, and after a couple of consultations we
decided to operate yesterday, ahead of his filming schedule for series 4
of Made In Chelsea, which I believe starts next week.'I
understand Mr Locke was very happy with his procedure, it is relatively
simple operation and shouldn’t take too long to heal.'
The cast of Made In Chelsea are currently filming the next series. He's a new man: Ollie was seen leaving a surgery on Harley Street three weeks ago and last night showing off his new look

Plan for Iraq handover government scrapped | World news | The Guardian
Saturday 17 May 2003 20.56 EDT
First published on Saturday 17 May 2003 20.56 EDT
Allied officials told leaders of the Iraqi exile community, who have flooded back to Baghdad that they had abandoned plans to allow Iraqi opposition forces to form a national assembly and transitional government by the end of the month. Instead, say opposition sources who attended a Friday meeting with Paul Bremer, the Pentagon-appointed civilian administrator in Iraq, US and British diplomats announced they would remain in charge for an undisclosed period.
Bremer, who was accompanied by John Sawers, a British diplomat representing Prime Minister Tony Blair, told the meeting the Allies now preferred an 'interim authority' in which Iraqis would assist by creating a constitution for Iraq, revamping the educational system and devising a plan for future democratic elections. 'It's clear you cannot transfer all powers to some interim body, because it will not have the strength or resources to carry those responsibilities out,' said Sawers. 'There was agreement that we should aim to have a national conference as soon as we reasonably could do so.' Huge divisions are now apparent within Iraq's opposition, not least between returning Iraqi exiles, like Ahmed Chalabi, who have been demanding prominent positions in any transitional government, and the grassroots movements, many of them focused on local Shia leaders who are demanding an Islamic state. Meanwhile there is a crisis over funding for reconstruction following claims that oil revenue will fall far short of the $41 billion (£26bn) re-quired over the next two years to get the shattered nation on its feet. Before the war senior US administration officials, including President George W. Bush, suggested that the sale of Iraqi oil - at present still covered by UN sanctions and administered by the UN's Oil For Food programme - would largely pay for the reconstruction. But new figures produced by Spain's Ministry of Economic Affairs and sent to the World Bank, UN and International Monetary Fund have led the Spanish government to conclude that oil revenues are likely to fall far short of the contribution originally envisaged. According to the Spanish figures, the $41bn total is likely almost to double over 10 years, and even that calculation has been challenged by international aid agencies working in Iraq who fear the figure could rise to as much as $250bn over the same period. Although Iraq has more than 112 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, the second largest in the world, its oil infrastructure is under-developed and deteriorating and - experts say - would require considerable investment to realise its potential as the economic engine of a postwar economy. In 2002 Iraq pumped $13bn worth of oil, a figure it is unlikely to come anywhere close to this year after deliberate firing of wells by Saddam's regime and the near-complete disintegration of Iraq's civic society. According to the Spanish figures, renovating and modernising Iraq's oil industry will cost $3.5bn alone. The scale of the expected shortfall in funding has been underlined by the US commitment to reconstruction, a slim $2.5bn approved by Congress. US Treasury Secretary John Snow insisted last week that countries like France and Germany, who opposed the war, would have to make substantial contributions. The US, UK and Spain are now sponsoring a UN resolution to end sanctions against Iraq and the oil for food programme, instead placing Iraqi oil revenues first under the Pentagon's control, then under a transitional Iraqi authority through which the money could be channelled for reconstruction. The resolution, which would give the occupying powers authority in Iraq for at least a year, would also call for an international fund to rebuild Iraq. The resolution, which is expected to be tabled this week, is being opposed by France, Germany, Russia and China over the lack of a clearly defined central role for the UN and concern that placing Iraq's oil revenues in the hands of an occupying power would breach the UN convention.

Advani referred to Abdullah’s recent speech where he, without naming anyone, had said that “there are some opportunistic leaders who are parroting 370 as they feel elections are near and want to befool the people.” Advani had, on June 23, made a renewed pitch for scrapping it.
Even the Congress party — other than former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and a few other leaders — was strongly opposed to a special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Advani quoted from a biography of Sardar Patel to argue that even the latter was against Article 370 but did not push for it due to his deference for Pandit Nehru, he said.

Thatcher Sets June 9 For Election - The Washington Post
Thatcher Sets June 9 For Election
By Peter Osnos May 10, 1983
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher announced today that she is calling a general election for June 9, a move she believes will enhance her Conservative Party's political mandate and, she said, best serves "the national interest."
With nearly a year to go before an election had to be held, Thatcher was persuaded by senior advisers that she should take advantage of her strong standing in public opinion polls and recently improving economic figures to ensure the Conservatives the widest possible margin of victory. "The country is ready for an election," she told a meeting of her Cabinet this morning, "why delay?"
In keeping with traditional protocol, Thatcher drove to Buckingham Palace to seek Queen Elizabeth II's approval of her decision before issuing a formal declaration from the prime minister's office at 10 Downing Street. Parliament is to be dissolved Friday, and a three-week campaign will then get under way for the 650 seats in a just-redistricted and enlarged House of Commons.
Thatcher had favored waiting until next fall or even later for the contest, but weeks of mounting speculation among politicians and in the press about an earlier date created a momentum that the prime minister could not--and would not--stop. Choosing the earliest date that had been mentioned puts an immediate end to the uncertainty, so the choice of June 9 was in the national interest, she said.
The leader of the opposition Labor Party, Michael Foot, said Thatcher had been "pushed, pulled and panicked" into an election out of fear that the longer she waited the less her chances of victory. Spokesmen for the new Alliance of Liberals and Social Democrats similarly sought to depict the prime minister's action as a "cut-and-run" maneuver aimed at limiting the chance of unforeseen political reversals.
The creation of the centrist Alliance since the last election--the Social Democrats were formed largely by disaffected Labor supporters in 1981--does add an unpredictable new element in British politics. The Social Democrats' standing has been weakening lately, but the Liberal Party, and in particular its leader, David Steel, has done well in some polls and parliamentary by-elections. The Alliance's long-shot hope is that it could hold the balance of power in the new Parliament.
Nonetheless, Thatcher goes into the campaign as a heavy favorite who could even lead her party to a landslide if the main trends in national opinion surveys over the past year are sustained. Since Britain's victory over Argentina in last year's Falkland Islands war, Thatcher has basked in a reputation for what Tory banners call "The Resolute Approach."
In recent interviews, Thatcher has made it clear that she may eventually need a third term as prime minister to fulfill her ambitious agenda of economic and social reforms, another reason for renewing her mandate now, when support in the country seems solid.
The overriding issue in the campaign will be the Conservative economic policies, which the government contends are slowly bringing Britain out of its prolonged decline. Inflation is down to its lowest level in years, interest rates are also down and manufacturing output is starting to show recovery from the worst recession in the postwar era. Unemployment, however, remains at more than 3 million, twice as high as when Thatcher won election in 1979, and there is no sign that it will start to go down any time soon.
Labor and the Alliance both favor variations of a reflated economy, increased public spending to create jobs and an incomes policy. A Labor victory would mean an especially dramatic reversal of economic strategy that would at the minimum lead to a period of economic confusion as new measures were adopted.
On foreign and security issues, the Labor Party is committed to a "non-nuclear" defense policy, the unilateral abolition of Britain's nuclear deterrent and the ouster of all U.S. bases. The party would also withdraw from Britain's membership in the European Community. The Alliance position would modify Britain's nuclear strategy but would not abandon it.
Because of the chasm separating Labor and Conservative policies, this election offers Britain one of the most clear-cut choices in its recent history. In her attitude toward the Soviet Union and on domestic economic matters, Thatcher, like Ronald Reagan, is one of the most ideologically conservative politicians to lead a western nation in recent decades. By contrast, Labor's Michael Foot is the most left-wing opposition leader to compete for the prime ministership.
The Alliance's "prime minister-designate" is the leader of the Social Democrats, Roy Jenkins, who is a former senior Labor minister. Because of Jenkins' generally lackluster performance since winning his party's leadership, the Liberals' Steel was chosen to guide the Alliance's political handling of the election.

TripAdvisor | Bhutan Photography Tour: The Last Buddhist Kingdom provided by Tourby | Thimphu, Thimphu District
Bhutan Photography Tour: The Last Buddhist Kingdom provided by Tourby
By: Tourby
$6,408.68
Fly into Paro and marvel at the scenery of the Himalayas. Arrive at the airport and keep yourself cosy with our gift - a Bhutanese welcome scarf! Drive towards Thimphu and make a stop at the private temple of Tamchhog Lhakhang. Capture images of the temple's famous iron chain bridge. The temple's location on the ridge and the high rocky barren hills as its backdrop makes this a wonderful location to take pictures. Visit the Thimphu Dzong, which was built in 1641 by the founder of Bhutan, Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal. Overnight Thimphu (2350meters).
Accommodation included: Overnight Thimphu
In the morning, depart to Kuensel Phodrang to see and photograph the magnificent 51-meter bronze Buddha statue. Hike Kuensel Phodrang's natural trail towards Changangkha Lhakhang and visit its 12th-century temple. After lunch, see local students practising traditional Bhutanese arts such as calligraphy, embroidery and wood carving at the 13 arts and craft school. If we are lucky, we will also get to learn about the national sport of Bhutan by watching and photographing an archery tournament next to the National Stadium!
Accommodation included: Overnight Thimphu.
Day 3: Phobjikha
Journey to the alpine valley of Phobjikha after breakfast. Phobjikha is one of the most beautiful valleys in Bhutan and is well known for the migration of the black-necked cranes from Tibet for winter roosting. Stop at Dochula Pass, which was built in honour of 108 Bhutanese soldiers. On a clear day, the pass offers an amazing 360-degree panoramic view of the Himalayas. Arrive in Gangtey and visit the Gangtey Goemba monastery. Set against a backdrop of forest-clad mountains and surrounded by clusters of hilltop cottages, the monastery provides the opportunity for fantastic photography. One of the oldest monasteries in Bhutan, Gangtey Goemba showcases the fine workmanship of Bhutan’s best woodcarvers, sculptors, and painters.
Accommodation included: Overnight Phobjikha.
Drive out from Gangtey for about 30 minutes and hike Longtey village. Walk through a rhododendron forest for about 6km, where we may spot some grey langur monkeys. As the Longtey trail is still used by locals, we may meet and chat with some locals along the way. If time permits, make our way towards Phobjikha valley for some landscape photography. Gangtey is the upper part of the valley and Phobjikha is the lower part of the valley.
Stop At: Tamshing Lhakhang Temple, Bumthang Bhutan
Drive for about 5-6 hours towards Bumthang. Stop at different shooting locations on the way for beautiful landscape photography. Upon arrival, visit some or all of the following sites:
-The Tamshing Lhakhang, which was built by the famous Terton and saint, Pema Lingpa, in the 15th century.
-The Kurjay Lhakhang (temple), which was visited by Guru Rinpoche in the 8th century. It is believed that Guru Rinponche left his body imprint at the site after his visit.
-The Jambay Lhakhang, which is one of the oldest temples in the country. It was built in the 7th century by Tibetan King Songtsan Gembo in order to defeat ogres.
Accommodation included: Overnight Bumthang.
Day 6: Jakar Valley
Stop At: Jakar Dzong, Chamkhar Valley, Jakar Bhutan
Experience and photograph the unique festivals around Jakar valley. Each dance is spectacular but different so you will have a chance to test and hone your photography techniques. Visit Jakar Dzong.
Day 7: Tang Valley
Stop At: Ogyen Choling Palace Museum, Ogyen Choling, Tang, Bumthang, Jakar Bhutan
Drive to Tang Valley, which is the most remote and off-the-beaten-track destination around Bumthang. Explore the valley and visit the Ogyen Choling heritage Museum. Make our way from Tang Bepzur towards the Chamkhar bushman trail, which is a very nice hike to end the day.
Stop At: The Tower of Trongsa Museum, Trongsa Bhutan
Drive towards Trongsa, one of Bhutan's most historic towns. Visit the Trongsa Museum and Trongsa Dzong, which is located on top of an imposing hill. Enjoy Trongsa town.
Accommodation included: Overnight Trongsa.
After breakfast, journey towards Punakha (6-7 hours). Visit Chime Lhakhang, which is also known as the temple of fertility. It is believed that Lama Drukpa Kuenly (also known as the 'Divine Mad Monk') subdued the Demon of Dochula at this site. If time permits, visit Punakha Dzong.
Accommodation included: Overnight Punakha.
In the morning, visit a beautiful hilltop nunnery. Gentle hike downhill towards Punakha Dzong. You will come across beautiful views as well as a variety of butterflies during the hike. After lunch, make our way towards Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten where you will get to capture spectacular views over the whole Punakha valley.
Day 11: Dochula
Drive towards Dochula. Hike the Lungchutse trail that slowly climbs a ridge through a forest of rhododendrons, hemlock and birch until reaching an open meadow. Enter into a forest of moss-covered rhododendrons, gigantic hemlocks, junipers, and bamboo undergrowth. A small trail leads you to the last 50 meters past a row of fluttering prayer flags up to Lungchutse temple. At the temple, if the weather is clear, enjoy a 360° view of the Himalayan mountain range.
Accommodation included: Overnight Dochula.
Wake up around 4:30 am to experience and photograph the magnificent sunrise over the top of Himalayan snow-capped mountains. After breakfast and depending on the weather, drive towards Paro. Visit the Paro Rimpong Dzong and the National Museum. Enjoy some leisure time in Paro town.
Accommodation included: Overnight Paro.
Day 13: Haa Valley
Excursion to Haa valley. If the weather is clear today, you will get very good views of some snow-capped mountains when you reach the top of Chelela pass at 3988 meters. Explore Haa valley and drive back to Paro.
Day 14: Tiger's Nest
Today is a big day! Early morning photo hike to Bhutan's most famous pilgrimage site, the Tiger's Nest (Taktshang) (9,300 feet). This extraordinary monastery clings to a vertical granite cliff 2,000 feet above the valley floor. It will be an approximately 6-hour hike. The hike can be tiring but trust us, it's worth it!
After breakfast, say our goodbyes (very sad!) and return to the airport for departure.
We will meet you at Paro International Airport.
Highest standard government approved 3-star hotel accommodations
Personal expenses such as beverages, entertainment, laundry and telephone costs.
