Possibly more interesting with children but still worth spending time to discuss over the history of Robert Houdin and the link to Houdini.
After taking the kids through castle and castle in the area, this can be a reward for them. A small museum packed with history of magic and some artifacts too. Don't miss the dragons!
This museum offers some in debth information of the illusionist profession or magician's for that.
Famous robert houdin hailed from blois and the american houdini took his name from houdin who was also a very good watchmaker.
Do not miss this place and most of all do not miss the dragons!
Wonderful place with lots of interesting and some thought provoking illusions to see. The show was primarily targeted at a younger audience but was still very enjoyable. Highly recommend buying the combined castle and magic house ticket.
I couldn't get into this at all. Language barrier I guess. The exhibits again didn't take to me as they didn't even appear to be the real thing.
I did enjoy the magic show.
Found it clostaphobic after the show when trying to find the rest of the exhibits. Managed to miss a few floors and the 'exit by the...
This wasn't my thing, but it was well done. Our teenagers were mildly amused. Many young children were having a blast. The magic show was well-done, but in this age of special effects in the movies, it's hard to impress teenagers.
The house of magic features a beautiful magic show, suitable for all ages, regardless of language spoken.
In addition, it has 3 floors of exhibitions. the first floor has various interactive exhibitions, which were just great. The second floor is boring, unless you ate really interested in the history of magic.
The third floor has a very intetesting attraction: you...
I think you have to remember when visiting this place that it is the HISTORY of magic and not magic as we 'imagine'now. The show was quite sweet and almost innocent. It was fairly easy to guess how the tricks were done as it involved a lot of suspicious looking crates and the actors wearing large overcoats to potentially conceal...
I took my seven year old son to this museum and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The show was ace the attractions were interesting and the mirror walk on the top floor brilliant worth a visit with kids of this age group.
If you are intending to visit this magic venue you must ensure that you time it with one of the live magic shows which are put on during the day. If you do not I suspect that you may be disappointed by the few displays. There are one magician standing at table shows which take place in the main venue....

These dogs are imported from Europe and typically join the Sheriff's Office when they are between 1-3 years old. European dogs are primarily utilized because they have a strong work ethic and provide our community with the best return for the investment, in time and money that a canine team requires to maintain its level of effectiveness.

I guess I shouldn't be shocked that now that Chris and Aidan are back together, they'd return to their old roles of supporting players in everyone else's drama. Sadly, we don't even get any scenes of them enjoying being back together or working to get the point they were before the split as they were nearly living together back then, though Chris did casually mention they were taking things slow. Let's hope we get some insight to their relationship as it goes forward, though given this show's history, I have my doubts.
As for the drama we did see, I really find Chris' endless support of Andrew to be annoying. As Tash and Summer rightfully pointed out, Andrew screwed Chris over and would do it again. And he barely apologized for nearly ruining Chris' life and almost bankrupting Chris' family. In fact, in that scene between Chris and Andrew it seemed to me that Andrew was making Chris feel guilty because Andrew did the right thing and told the truth about the accident, which put him on bad terms with his father.
Can Chris and Aidan get a life?
For someone who swore he'd stand up for himself, and does so with other people, Chris certainly doesn't do it in regards to Andrew. It almost makes you wonder if Chris is still attracted to Andrew, but I doubt the show is going to go there. At least Aidan told Andrew they weren't friends as long as Andrew continues to blackmail him.
As for the storyline revolving around Andrew's epilepsy, I had to admit it remains an interesting and well written story, though I'm ready for Andrew's friends and family to learn the truth. He's kept it secret for far too long, to the point where it's starting to strain credulity.
Good Times, Bad Times
And that's that. I guess the resolution to Bilal and Lucas' relationship had a realistic end, with Bilal still unable to come out of the closet, despite his feelings for Lucas. As I said before I think the storyline was really well acted and the writing for the various individual scenes was well done.
As a whole, though the story just didn't work. I still don't buy that Lucas and Bilal were all that in love. They were totally mismatched to me and I don't think for a minute their relationship would really work if it had come out into the open because they were just too different. And besides, the chemistry just wasn't there. With the way things ended, I can't help but think Bilal will probably meet another woman and marry her, but find a man to cheat with on the side. Thankfully, Lucas was unwilling to do that.
I'm also wondering what the point of the storyline was. Lucas did show a little bit of personal growth during the arc. I don't see why the show bothered giving Lucas this very brief romance, especially since it has been so long since Edwin died. Of course there's the chance that Bilal could always come back, but I honestly hope not. The story was misguided and wrong-headed to begin with so there's no need to revisit it. I just hope the show gives Lucas a viable, long term and out of the closet love interest soon. Two coming out stories in the space of two years is more than enough.
*Thanks to GTSTfanMark for the clips!
House Husbands
I got a kick out of last week's episode. Kane and the guys' adventures at the strip club were hilarious and showed the spirited interaction and chemistry between the 'house husbands'. It was a lot of fun, especially the 'olive incident'. And the talk between Tom and Kane was thought-provoking as well as they discussed Kane's desire to have more children. The show is headed for its season finale and I suspect that the foster child storyline will come into play in the show's second year. But I'm curious about Stella's status as regards to Kane and Tom.
I know that Tom is Stella's guardian, but has he adopted her? More important, it would seem to me that Kane should be doing something to gain legal rights to the child. We know he has none because when Stella was sick, the doctor hesitated to tell him anything because he's not her legal guardian. The only reason she did say anything was because the doctor was Kane's sister. You'd think since he is the child's primary caregiver and he and Tom are in a long term relationship, they would handle such issues as a matter of course.
Overall, this show is charming and loveable, but I'd like more insight to Tom and Kane's relationship as a couple. The actors are great and I find their easy comfortable chemistry of a pair who have been together for a long time believable. I do realize that the show's focus is on fatherhood and the relationships between the four leads, but it would be nice to see Tom and Kane interact as a couple and not just deal with parental concerns. There have been tiny hints that Tom kind of resents that Kane seems himself as a father before anything else so that might be a storyline worth looking into. The show has promised they'd deal with Tom and Kane's relationship in the coming season so hopefully that they'll keep that vow.
Hotel Caesar
Hmmm… I guess it'll be interesting to see how Juni handles Måne being gay, that is, if he actually goes through with it and I don't think he will. Maybe. That is, if he actually goes through with it and I don't think he will. My guess is Måne will chicken out and as a result, Stellan will dump him. Then maybe perhaps he will come out, but it'll be too late, either Stellan will have moved on or he just won't want to be bothered with the drama again. I guess we'll find out in next week's column.
As for the moment, I can't say that I'm really riveted by this storyline. It's another coming out saga and it's not a particularly interesting one. And it just seems strange that a sixteen-year-old kid is worried about making his way in big business rather than if he'll pass his algebra test or playing video games. Of course it could be something I'm missing, but for me, the writing is limp and the acting is barely passable. Hopefully that will change soon. Maybe a new plot arc is the answer.
Days of Our Lives
I know many loved that Lucas got over his issues about Will and Sonny's relationship. And they were nicely done scenes, well acted by all parties. But it's all too neat and easily resolved and to me that's not realistic. It just doesn't ring true that everyone like Adrienne and now Lucas would so quickly get over their issues about Will and Sonny. It also doesn't make very interesting television. I like drama in my soaps, lots of it. Soaps are about conflict and this relationship doesn't have any of that. It never really has.
Will and Sonny got together, developed a relationship (mostly off screen) and now have these cutesy scenes together. I know fans are squeeing all over themselves over this fluff, but for me it's boring, especially since I don't think Will and Sonny are written like any young gay men I've ever known. The relationship and their interaction is far too sickeningly sweet for my tastes and is devoid of anything resembling passion. Of course, it might help if they actually had chemistry, which they don't and never have.
Enough with the hand holding! Can we have a storyline please?
I also wish some of these characters were actually written like their history would suggest. For example, there's no way Victor would be hesitant about asking Sonny about his relationship with Will. A buttinksy by nature, he would have been direct and to the point about his questions. And while it's nice that Kate told Lucas he had to accept Will and Sonny's relationship, she's never been the type of woman to accept her children's romantic partners, having had tried to kill one of Lucas' wives to get her out of his life. You think Lucas might have mentioned that during his talk with Kate.
I'm not saying that Lucas should try to poison Will with a green apple (which is what Kate tried to do to Chloe), but why not have Lucas scheme and plot to break up Will and Sonny? It certainly would be dramatically interesting and much more watchable than have everyone fall in line and be oh so accepting.
Winners and Losers
I'll start off by saying that while there is much to love about this show, there are a few things about the most recent episode that bothered me to the point of distraction. But I'll start with the positive stuff first. I love Jonathan and Rhys. I think they make such a charming and delightful couple. They are fun and engaging to watch and the actors have terrific chemistry. It doesn't hurt that the men in the roles are cute as a button.
I do wish we could have seen more of the relationship develop on screen because I think things happened kind of fast between them. That said, the end result has been so enjoyable to watch that I'm willing to let it slide. Besides, to be fair, the focus of the show is the four female leads and Jonathan and Rhys are supporting players so I guess that's to be expected to some extent. And I do love their relationships with the women on the show, especially the bond between Jonathan and Frances, whose friendship rings very true. I also appreciate getting to see Rhys' ongoing struggle to come out of the closet and I hope we get to see what happens when he finally comes out to his family.
But while I enjoyed all that, I really had big problems with last week's episode. As a rule, I get tired of gay bashing episodes so I wasn't looking forward to this one. Thankfully, the show didn't have some graphic, violent assault or make the tone of the storyline heavy or overbearing despite the subject matter. But it bothered me that Jonathan and Rhys were taken out by one man and neither of them were able to protect themselves. Can't the gay guys get a few punches in just once?
And while Rhys' reaction made sense in that he wanted to not be so open about his sexuality in public, especially since he was still coming out, Jonathan's reaction was puzzling. On one hand, while he insisted he didn't want to hide who he was and stop being himself no matter where he was, he was all too willing to just accept that people out there will attack and beat you up and there's nothing that you can do about it.
For someone who is willing to fight to be who he is, I just find it odd that he was backing down to bigotry and homophobes. Isn't letting them get away with beating you up handing them the victory? Then again, if Jonathan didn't take that attitude, the entire story arc of Frances getting a new job because of her legal battle with the club wouldn't have played out like it did. And that was the real point of the story, I guess. I just wish the writing for Jonathan wouldn't have been so out of character in the process.
I wish I could enjoy this storyline because it had such potential. Unfortunately the show has completely botched it with lazy storytelling and rushed plot arcs. The biggest problem is that Syed's behavior makes no sense. Sure, he's desperate to make a buck and I can see him falling in with Danny on his business schemes, but Syed's attraction to Danny and his cheating on Christian fails as a story because the show hasn't bothered to explain why Syed is so drawn to Danny.
Yes, Danny is very attractive and engaging, but not only does Syed barely know him, there needs to be a reason why Syed would stray. It's not as if he and Christian have been having problems or he was unhappy in their relationship. Syed has always been a stick in the mud and certainly not one to freely express himself in any way, especially in a sexual way. So I just find it hard to believe Syed would be sneaking around with Danny and making out in a public place where he could easily be spotted (just like he was).
It's a shame because Marc Elliot and Gary Lucy actually do have chemistry and it would be nice to see a real relationship and bond form between these two as they got into business together. But it needs to happen over time, not over a few episodes. Instead, Syed comes off as a total idiot giving his money to a man he barely knows with little details or promises that it would net him any profit — not to mention being a cheat for his out of nowhere romantic involvement with Danny. But EastEnders has a bad history of taking good ideas and ruining them when things actually begin to play out.
It also bothers me that Syed is acting like such a jerk and Christian plays the clueless boyfriend. Christian is not a stupid man and he should be able to figure out something is going on with Syed, especially since Syed is not good at lying or hiding when he's lying. I do like the growing bond between Christian and Syed's family though as they truly come to accept him and his place in Syed's life. That actually makes sense. And it's because the show took the time and care to actually let that story arc play out over time.
Coronation Street
Not a lot to say here as not much happened. Marcus and Maria are kind of in denial over what happened between them, half-heartedly throwing themselves into relationship with their respective partners. I suspect that will be the status quo for awhile until something else throws them together. I look forward to seeing what that something is, not to mention what happens when they can no longer deny their feelings and the drama that will ensue when everyone finds out about them. Bring it on. And soon please.
EastEnders — It's Syed and Christian's stag party in celebration of their impending wedding and Syed is stunned when Danny shows up at the party. Syed insists Danny leave, but Danny suggests that Syed's plan to marry Christian is a bad idea and that they could have a life together. Syed insists he only wants Danny as a business partner, but Danny tells Syed that the money he invested went bust and they lost everything. Still, Danny continues to pursue Syed, until Masood arrives.
Syed says Danny is just there on business, but Masood reveals he saw Danny and Syed kissing the night before. Syed tosses Danny out, but Masood thinks Syed shouldn't marry Christian as he's cheating on him already. Syed swears he doesn't want to give up on his relationship. Later, Zainab genuinely apologizes to Christian for the way she's treated him and welcomes him into the family. Syed witnesses this moment and when he sees a family picture that includes Christian, he can't deal with the guilt.
Syed says he can't go through with the wedding and Christian demands to know why. Syed confesses his financial woes, but not his romantic involvement with Danny. As Christian insists that's not reason enough to call off the wedding, Masood arrives and assuming Christian knows the full truth, lets it slip that he saw Syed and Danny kissing. Despite it all, Christian forgives Syed and wants to marry him, but Syed doesn't know if he should as he has doubts about himself and what he wants. Christian tells Syed he'll wait for him at the altar and Syed can come he wants to get married.
After some thought, Syed decides what he really wants and he and Christian are married. However, as everyone celebrates, the bailiffs show up and announce that the mortgage on the restaurant hasn't been paid on four months and the property is being seized. Tamwar realizes that it's Syed's fault that this has happened, but protects his older brother by taking the blame himself. Christian, who knows this is Syed's doing, wants Syed to come forward and admit the truth to his family. But instead, Syed has run off and vanished.

One of Hollyoaks' most beloved characters returns…
Last week we told you that Bryan Kirkwood, former executive producer of Hollyoaks was returning to the drama and it looks like he's bringing one of his most popular characters along with him. James Sutton, who played gay teenager John Paul McQueen, one of the soaps most beloved players is returning to the show after a four year absence. Sutton is currently filming on the show and will begin to appear on screen around Christmas. According to the show, Sutton's stay is long term and he will have a major storyline that they are keeping underwraps.
When we last saw John Paul, he was leaving with his boyfriend Craig Dean as they set off to start a new life together in Ireland after a tumultuous love affair. Of course, since Craig, played by Guy Burnett, isn't returning with John Paul, many fans who loved that teen couple are wondering what happened to that duo. In fact, more than a few viewers of the show are annoyed with the show for possibly breaking up John Paul and Craig, spoiling their happy ending, just to have Sutton return to the show.
Fans aren't happy to see Jean Paul and Craig's 'Sunset Ending' compromised…
Of course, this columnist thinks such clinging to the past is ridiculous and bringing one of the show's most popular characters ever is a good thing and not something to be derided to protect the sanctity of an off screen relationship. There's no word on what brings John Paul back to the village, what his storyline will be or if he'll cross paths with any of the show's current gay characters: Brendan Brady, Ste Hay, Doug Carter or George Smith. Personally, this columnist hopes that his return has nothing to do with Brendan or his group. They've got enough story (and airtime) on their plates.
We'll have updates as they come.
And that's a wrap for this edition of Langford on Soaps. See you next time!

what I'm thinking and doing § what I'm listening to § what I'm reading
what I'm writing § retrospective: The Phonosnout
Visiting Jim's family is always, well, stressful, no matter how much I enjoy each of them individually. You see, I come from a small family--just me and my parents and my sister. Jim's one of six children, and his mother died in 1982 (before I met her, though I did talk to her on the phone a few times) and his father remarried nine years ago. All of his siblings have children, too, and one of those (the nephew who recently visited) has a child of his own. So his family is far, far bigger than I'm used to, especially as we only get back east to see them about once every three years or so.
I do like all of Jim's family members. There isn't one I don't like when I talk to them--one on one, especially. They're all so different. Jim's eldest brother is a former Marine and policeman who now loves working at a Barnes and Noble. He's turned into a real reader and is interested in writing, too. He's 16 years older than Jim and is his godfather. He's probably the worst joker/punster in the family but they all have that to some degree. He's Mark, the visiting nephew's father.
His next brother is corporate sales manager and is the real politician in the family; he tries to help everyone get along. He is married to a woman who is studying textiles and has two daughters, one of whom is a senior in college in special education (we love talking music with her) and the other is still in high school and is a cheerleader.
Next is Jim's eldest sister, who is widowed and has three children. We were extremely happy to get a chance to meet up with her for a two-hour conversation, as she's the one we probably see the least, especially as she couldn't make it to the party. She has two boys and a girl, all of whom are in high school.
Jim's middle sister has two daughters, one of whom is in her second year of college, a likely business major, and the younger of whom is in highschool. It was great to see both of them again because they're fun and the eldest is Jim's goddaughter.
Jim's younger sister, the sibling closest in age to him is married to a man who runs plumbing construction teams for his father's business, and they have a young son who is a real livewire. They all work and play hard, and live out in the country (the party was there) with a barn with three horses, a kennel with four dogs, various cats out there, and a garage full of showcars. Amazing.
So here we all are yelling surprise at Jim's father to celebrate his 80th birthday. Yes, he was surprised and happy. It was intense.
On the plane I read a more recent children's novel by William Mayne. Mayne is a hit or miss author for me, but when he hits, his novels are among my favourites. Cuddy is definitely one of his best. Too bad he's hard to find out of the U.K. Thank goodness for amazon.co.uk. Cuddy is about Saint Cuthbert appearing to some children to get help for his spirit to be released to where it should be. It features a nun talking inside and to the bear who ate her, which was strange and amusing. And Mayne's poetic writing was beautifully lucid. I ate each sentence. Yum.
2. Nanaimo is a city about 90 minutes drive north of Victoria. I'm not sure why I was there--probably for a writer's conference for highschool students. I vaguely remember it because I bought a couple of books there, one being the Skookum Wawa anthology that I still have.

Dooley Wilson
|Dooley Wilson
Wilson playing "Sam" in Casablanca
|Arthur Wilson
April 3, 1886
Tyler, Texas, U.S.
|May 30, 1953
(aged 67)
Los Angeles, California, U.S.
|Years active
|Estelle Wilson (?-1953) (his death)[1][2]
Arthur "Dooley" Wilson (April 3, 1886 – May 30, 1953) was an American actor and singer,[3] who is best remembered as the piano-player and singer Sam who sings "As Time Goes By" at the request of Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in Casablanca (1942).
Wilson was a drummer and singer who led his own band in the 1920s, touring nightclubs in London and Paris. In the 1930s he took up acting, playing supporting roles onstage on Broadway and in a series of modest films. His role in Casablanca was by far his most prominent, but his other films included My Favorite Blonde (1942) with Bob Hope, Stormy Weather (1943) with Lena Horne and the Nicholas Brothers, and the western Passage West (1951).
Early life and career[edit]
Arthur Wilson was born in Tyler, Texas,[4] and broke into show business at the age of 12, playing in a vaudeville minstrel show.[4] He sang and played the drums in black clubs in the Tyler area before he moved to Chicago.[4] He received the nickname "Dooley" while working in the Pekin Theatre in Chicago, circa 1908, because of his then-signature Irish song "Mr. Dooley",[4] which he performed in whiteface. He worked in black theatre in Chicago and New York City for most of the period from 1908 to the 1930s, although in the 1920s he toured Europe as a drummer and singer in his own band, the Red Devils.[4]
From the 1930s to the 1950s Wilson worked in motion pictures and Broadway, including with Orson Welles and John Houseman at the Federal Theatre.[4] His breakthrough Broadway appearance came in the role of Little Joe in the musical Cabin in the Sky (1940–1941).[4] This led to his signing with the Paramount studio in Hollywood.
Sam, Dooley Wilson's role, is a singer and pianist employed by nightclub owner Rick (Humphrey Bogart). The Herman Hupfeld song "As Time Goes By" appears as a continuing musical and emotional motif throughout the film. Rick and Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) regard it as "their song" and associate it with the days of their love affair in Paris. According to Aljean Harmetz, Variety singled him out for the effectiveness of the song, and The Hollywood Reporter said he created "something joyous". The phrase "Play it again, Sam", commonly believed to be a quote from the film (due to the eponymous title of the Woody Allen film), is never used. In the film, Wilson as Sam performs several other songs for the cafe audience: "It Had To Be You", "Shine (1910 song)", "Knock On Wood (1942 song)", "Avalon" and "Parlez-moi d'amour (song)".
Wilson was a singer and drummer, but not a pianist. Sam's piano playing in the film was performed by Elliot Carpenter, who was placed where Wilson could see and imitate his hand movements.[4] Carpenter was the only other black person on the Casablanca set, and the two remained friends for the rest of Wilson's life. For his role as Sam in Casablanca, Wilson was paid $350 a week for seven weeks,[5] although other reports say that he was paid $500 a week.[4]
Wilson reunited with Bogart, portraying another piano player in Knock on Any Door in 1949.
Later life and career[edit]
By the time Paramount lent him to Warner Bros. for his role as Sam in Casablanca, he had already appeared in over 20 films.[4] He was later in the cast for the film version of Stormy Weather (1943), an all-black musical, as Gabe, the best friend of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson's character.[4]
Back in New York, Wilson played Pompey, an escaped slave, in the musical Bloomer Girl (1946–1948). His performance of the song "The Eagle and Me" in this show was selected by Dwight Blocker Bowers for inclusion in a Smithsonian recordings compilation, American Musical Theatre.[4] Later, he played the role of Bill Jackson on the television situation comedy Beulah during its final 1952–1953 season.[4]
Wilson, who was on the board of the Negro Actors Guild of America,[4] died on May 30, 1953, shortly after he retired from show business.[4] He is buried at the Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles.

Purposeful Materials
A leather that reveals its own story.
We take great care in sourcing Strap's fine, Italian calfskin leather. To preserve the leather's unique, organic qualities - Strap is minimally treated. This allows Strap to truly come to life as it ages over time, developing its own character, and providing Strap with a natural resilience.

Trusted Craftsmanship
Built from the best leather, thread, and steel.
Quality materials are the core of each Nomad product. Strap is comprised of a polished 316L stainless steel buckle, genuine, minimally treated Italian calfskin leather, and durable linen stitching.
Thread and stitching
Each Strap is lined by a smooth leather backing, a careful stitching pattern, and durable linen thread. The stitching helps maintain lasting integrity and prevents the leather from stretching and morphing despite months of wear. We use a linen thread as found in traditional artisanal saddlery and leather working that provides a timeless finish to the look of Strap.
Stainless steel buckle
Strap fastens on your wrist with a stunning, finely polished stainless steel buckle. With sharp chamfered edges and a soft curve, buckle complements Strap's strong, rugged character. When it comes to the steel, we rely on industry leading, 316L stainless steel, giving it added strength and durability.
Your Strap for Apple Watch
Exceptional quality leather
Produced, in our opinion, in one of the finest tanneries in Italy, this artisan leather is raw, yet remarkably refined. We chose this unique style of tanning (they way the turn hide into usable leather) because it strives to not alter the hide, but instead to bring out the leather's best qualities possible. This is how the best vineyards think about grapes. Unfortunately, most tanneries specialize in creating "effects" in their hides using questionable techniques to create a "look". We don't stand for that. We wanted unadulterated leather. We wanted leather that is affected by your life. Leather that gets a scuff, takes a fall, and looks all the better for it. Because your watch should reflect your personality, right?

02. Can I use Strap with Steel and Sport versions of Apple Watch?

Kerala saves Rs 300 cr as schools switch to open software
The Kerala government has made a saving of Rs 300 crore through introduction and adoption of Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) in the school education sector, said a state government official on Sunday. IT became a compulsory subject in Kerala schools from 2003, but it was in 2005 only that FOSS was introduced in a phased manner and started to replace proprietary software. The decision made by the curriculum committee to implement it in the higher secondary sector has also been completed now.
Tired of Windows and MAC computer systems? Linux may now be ready for prime time
Are you a bit tired of the same old options of salt and pepper, meaning having to choose only between the venerable Windows and MAC computer operating systems? Looking to branch out a bit, maybe take a walk on the wild side, learn some new things and save money? If so, the Linux operating system, which has been around for a long time and is used and loved by many hard-core techies and developers, may now be ready for prime time with the masses.
Braswell based Pico-ITX SBC offers multiple expansion options
Axiomtek's PICO300 is a Pico-ITX SBC with Intel Braswell, SATA-600, extended temperature support, and both a mini-PCIe and homegrown expansion connector. Axiomtek has launched a variation on its recently announced Intel Apollo Lake based PICO312 SBC that switches to the older Intel Braswell generation and offers a slightly reduced feature set. The board layout has also changed somewhat, with LVDS, SATA, and USB ports all changing location.

The Emperor UV lamps do not have any type of shatterproof coating. When installed they are housed in a quartz sleeve to keep water from contacting the lamp and shattering inside of the UV unit is not common at all. In all honesty it would be hard to find an anti-shatter material that would withstand the UV light.
If you have any other questions just let us know.

Just what it should be By Barbara L on 2/2/2015Barbara L would recommend this product to a friendPacked great and quickly shipped to get the UV back to full potential.
Great UV Lamp By Collin on 6/7/2013Collin would recommend this product to a friendWorth the extra cost to buy genuine bulbs. I wish it came with a replacement sleeve seal though.
Actual emperor aquatics uv sterilizer bulb By Saltwaterfish300 on 4/18/2013Saltwaterfish300 would recommend this product to a friendI read many reviews and searched many other websites looking for an actual name brand emperor aquatics uv sterilizer until I found this website did I find success. Most reviews on sites like eBay and amazon the listing would say it was name brand but indeed was generic.
I feel especially when it comes to your beloved fish tank or pond that getting the actual brand that your uv sterilizer calls for is key to success.
This item just like any other light bulb is very breakable but they not only shipped it with ensuring it would make it to me in one piece. They also had it shipped out not. Joking 1hr after I ordered it. Thanks again!!

- Ample parking space
- Pleasant smell
- Clean toilets
- Good service staff
- (Almost) Everything I need under one roof
All the points above will make my day – and for some reason unknown to even myself, I feel happy whenever I'm headed to ION Orchard.
It could really be the custom blended fragrance diffused through the mall that makes me so happy… or knowing that I'm always greeted with a smile, and that I never have to face a queue for the toilets at my favorite mall.
{ I started with the intention to write down what I like about ION Orchard but never have I imagined that this would be… so long and turn into an insider article itself! }
Meet Song.
He is the valet at level 5 (before valet service got pushed to level 6) and the first smiling face I see when I enter ION Orchard (that's if the staff at the gantry don't smile at me first) and we always acknowledge each other with a wave or a smile.
Whenever there are people in my car they give me this incredulous look "You know the valet?! How often do you come here, man?!"
What? I love parking in ION! I can even tell people where to park (dependent on where they are going) and off the top of my head I can give you a list of carpark prices in the Orchard area lol. But ION Orchard will always remain my favorite place to park, from the day I got my license. "ION is the best place for you to park and the lanes are so wide!", said Eve helpfully, when I just passed and was afraid of tight spots – little did she know that I would become this faithful to ION and even make friends with the valet, haha.
Anyway, about Song – he is extremely nice, and worthy of a thousand compliments for always having a smile on his face, and not forgetting to ask me if I've eaten, or how my day was – It's great to know that my car is in safe hands!
Other than the valet – you can also find Balaclava, and an alternative entrace for Magosaburo, as well as Dermacare at the lift lobby entrance!
{ Tip: If you're headed towards Jewelry street (b2) / F21 (b1) (nearer to the MRT), take the lift down from the lobby which has only two lifts – it's much faster and goes from Level 8 – B2 only ;) }
And after you've parked at level 5 (if you're early or lucky enough!), people would usually take the escalator down to level 4, where you can find:
The wonderful concierge, which is also partially a SISTIC counter for you to get tickets to plays, musicals & concerts – and just beside it is the Gallery at ION L4, which also leads you to Salt Grill & Sky Bar (pretty cool entrance and lift to the highest level of ION, I must say!)
It is also the level I frequent to redeem my carpark points!
In order to redeem points from your purchases made in ION Orchard, you must first be an ION+ Rewards member. You will gain access to discounts, dining privileges (10% off at participating merchants), and get notified of promotions! You can check out the latest promotions and offers for ION+ Rewards members here!
{ Auntie Evonne Tip: After you're an ION Rewards member, you just need to spend a min of $100 to redeem 5 points for parking, and every $100 thereafter constitutes as 1 point. So if you spend $200, you'll get 6 points – and each point = $1 SGD. Which means a total of $6 to deduct from your parking that day ; )
The best part is it can be accumulated and brought over. So if you have 12 points and your parking fee's only $6, you'll still have 6 points left to deduct for your next parking visit. Cool, isn't it? It is also one of the most convenient parking reward system I've encountered – redemption/deduction is automatic as it is registered to your car's IU unit, which means no more waiting for comp tickets to get zapped / encountering an enraged auntie whose carpark redemption doesn't work, etc.! }
If there's a queue at the concierge at L4, you can also redeem these points at other concierge booths – L1 (outside Sephora), L2, and B3 (outside Epicentre).
I think some may be curious as to why I featured Singapore Airlines, but I received extremely good service and explanation about miles redemption here – and they even have internet kiosks for you to do your check-in online / claim miles online etc. I just found it ridiculously convenient that there's an SQ Service Centre just at my favorite mall.
And then we move on to the toilets. ION's toilets have been my preferred choice (seriously, I am extremely picky about toilet cleanliness and such) and their standards have NEVER dropped. It's always spick and span, no thanks to their excellent staff (who also gives me a smile every time!)
The girls working in ION Orchard have their favorites too – and they love Level 4's toilet because it tends to be pretty quiet and also because of this friendly auntie here, who has gotten herself several compliments for her good service, from what I've heard! I remember her waving to me and telling me there's tissue underneath the mirror when I felt kind of blur the first few times I was in ION.
Also on Level 4, you can find the pretty brunch and tea place Becasse, Jones the Grocer (which also operates Becasse), Japanese joints like Magosaburo, Enmaru, as well as popular dim sum / hot pot spots Taste Paradise and Imperial Treasure Steamboat! I have dined at most of the places here (told ya, hardcore fan of the mall), and the service have always been excellent.
You also can find Crate & Barrel (which spans to B3), Prints, The Planet Traveller and there's even laundry service just beside Traveler's World!
Did I also mention that L4 is a great place to take OOTDs… in air conditioning? : p I didn't want to go too far so Tricia and I walked in and took a few snaps!
Level 3 can be summed up with three words.
Yes, it's the famous sticky date pudding at The Marmalade Pantry! XD
{ Auntie Evonne's Tip – Download The Entertainer App, which is basically a coupon book in your phone – if you like the restaurants they work with, purchase a subscription (lasts a year, we're almost half way through the year…) and you can claim 1-for-1 main courses at The Marmalade Pantry! Google about the app and check out the eateries they work with (there's also vouchers for hotels / flights etc so it's quite worth it really) }
Other than The Marmalade Pantry's food – there's also Repetto, which is relatively new, as well as Alice + Olivia with their kitsch range of clothing, Furla for their beautiful bags (esp the candy range), Vivienne Westwood and Agnes B are amongst my favorites, and who can forget Penhaligon for their wonderful fragrances? You need to step inside and find your fragrance profile!
Level 2 is, well, a level I can't shop at yet, hahaha BUT Church carries some really nice English men's shoes! If you're looking at a gift for your man, this is the place to check out. There's also TWG here and the taxi stand is located on this level as well.
One day la, I will be shopping at this level and buying a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti shoes (and not on discount also okay), hahaha.
Now the action on this floor is quite concentrated on one place – the playground of all girls (and some guys) – SEPHORA.
You can typically find MUFE in all Sephoras – but at Sephora ION, there's also Dior, MAC, Marc Jacobs Beauty (exclusive to Sephora) and most recently – Shu Uemura! There will be some Sephora Exclusives, but take note that their famous eyebrow pencils are not available in Sephora unfortunately.
My favorite find in Sephora… is not make up.
Say Hi to Nura D'Lempicka, Master BA of Sephora ION!
The first time I met Nura, who's mixed Thai, Chinese and Dutch – she wow-ed me away by matching me PERFECTLY for both under-eye and blemish cover concealers – I've been using her recommendations ever since and they are still the best matches I've had – you must remember to ask her to share her trick for concealing!
(I believe she's off on Tuesdays – call Sephora to enquire before you head down to look for her – I LOVE this woman and I've been recommending my friends to look for her.)
Of course, other than Nura, there are plenty of friendly BAs in Sephora you can seek help from should you feel lost (I know usually people would because of the sheer amount of products available there!)
Auntie Evonne Tip: Get on Sephora's White Card programme! Registration for the Sephora White Card is free – clock up to 250 points ($1 = 1point) on your card, and get 10% off your next purchase! Also, be privy to White Card Exclusives and discounts when you get on their mailing list!
And just outside Sephora, you'll find the other Concierge counter with smiling faces for car park redemption and other enquiries you may have (trust me, it is SOOOO easy to hit $100 in Sephora!)!
Level one's where all the exciting brands are. The newly opened MM6, Saint Laurent and their delectable bags, Bottega (always drop by to check out bracelet colors), Ferragamo (their heels are probably the most comfortable I've ever worn, can last all day in them!) and you can even stop for tea at TWG!
I use Standard Chartered for both work and personal purposes and what luck it is to have a branch right in this mall!
The best part is that they seem to have an on-going tie up with Standard Chartered which gives the cardholder plenty of benefits in ION:
{ Aunty Evonne Tip: From now till 18th May – Spend a min of $80 from Friday – Sunday and get 2 hours worth of parking free at ION Orchard! (No need to be ION+ Rewards member). You can check out the comprehensive list of promotions if you use a Standard Chartered card here! }
You can also withdraw money from DBS Atms located at a rather secluded corner on this level (near Thomas Sabo) – the queues aren't as long as the ones outside the MRT station.
Plenty of Fashion brands are also located at this level – Warehouse (you really need to step in because they have pretty nice clothes!), Ted Baker (love their men's shirts), Bimba & Lola, G Star Raw, A|X, Guess, Bebe (love their dresses!), Kate Spade Saturday (super reasonably priced bags), Pandora, and last but not least, Samantha Thavasa!
I'd be honest and say that Samantha Thavasa made a great decision by being in a very prominent corner of ION (high traffic) because they got my attention with THIS particular bag.
It looks sort of like a lovechild between a Hermes Birkin and Saint Laurent, hahaha. But I really, really love the blue inner lining and the combi with gold hardware… *heart flutters* plus it's just the PERFECT size – I cannot stop thinking about it!!!
Ah, B2 is another level of excitement. This is where all the main traffic is – coming from the Orchard MRT exit, and from all the malls linked underground to ION.
The first few shops you'd see – CHANEL. L'OCCITANE. BOBBI BROWN. and sandwiched between BB and Chanel, DIOR!
Now the Dior boutique you see here – is quite different from what you'd expect in Sephora. It's called the Dior Backstage Studio and in here, you'll be able to get Backstage exclusives!
Meet Tammy & Han! I had the privilege of meeting Tammy during a Dior Event, and Han came highly recommended by many people – especially Yina who got her make up done by Han during the launch and loved it!
Han is the resident 师奶杀手 and it's not hard to see why! I had Han help match me a lip color suitable for my outfit that day!
"Apply Dior's Lip Glow or the Lip Maximizer at the start of your make up routine – and as you work your way to your lips (the last step), you'll find that lip color application goes on smoother, and you'll get added shine!" – Han, Senior Backstage Makeup Artist
Dior's Addict Fluid Stick is their latest range of lip colors – in wonderfully bright 16 colors to match any skin color and any mood – I've swatched all 16 of them but yet to finish editing them (soon, soon!).
"Dior Addict Fluid Stick enables a flawless application in a single sweep:
the high-impact colour and long wear of a classic lipstick,
combined with the shine of a gloss, all in a thin film that delivers sensational comfort."
You can also get your foundation shade matched over at this counter! They actually have a nifty handheld device which reads your skin shade and matches you for their huge range of foundations! Quite cool, I must say!
Dior has also just launched their latest makeup palettes and you should really check it out! Love the blues for Summer 2014 ; )
YSL Beauty is currently undergoing renovation – they're taking over half of where FANCL used to be but if you head down that way, you'll also find Shu Uemura right opposite it. (rather hard to miss with the shu shu shu shu shu signage haha)
Hello, Sherin & Jessica!
Remember I mentioned that the eyebrow pencils are not available in Sephora ION? Well, they're about 2 levels away so you needn't worry – the main reason for not having the pencils in Sephora is because each BA in Shu are trained to sharpen these pencils in a special way!
Yes, you don't poke them into a pencil sharpener and twist like the conventional pencil. Instead, they have a special technique which requires the right amount of strength and an entire day's worth of training to master. I'm serious. They told me that they spend one entire day just sharpening the pencils. Can I sign up for that, please? Haha. I tried doing it myself and broke the pencil lead thrice, lol!
I also got Jess to touch up my make up for me – my cheeks were still undone, so we tried their latest lip & cheek product, Tint in Gelato – yes, you can use this on both your cheeks and lips! These dry matte instead of glossy so they make for wonderful blushes and come in an amazing array of colors too!
"Try using Shu Uemura's pentagon sponge or the light bulb sponge to apply the tint on your cheeks rather than using your fingers for a more consistent and even finish." – Jessica Ng, Accredited Make Up Artist
Besides the very prominent beauty brands, I usually drop by TCC for meet ups as well – sometimes you can find me typing away on my laptop (usually rushing work, haha) and I love that place for working because of the power points available, and also because I get 15% from the TCC Card : p (Not really a Coffee / Starbucks girl)
Uniqlo & Topshop are also hard to miss on this level – as well as Victoria's Secrets, H&M, Vince Camuto on the other end of the mall! Don't forget the very useful Singpost, which is located along Jewelry Street – they open daily till 7pm, even on Sundays – unlike the other usual SingPosts in your neighbourhood.
If you take the escalator down from Shu Uemura, you'll find even more beauty brands on this relatively quiet stretch of ION (well, compared to B2…)
Kiehl's (get samples to try before you buy, that's their motto!), Astalift, Laneige, Biotherm Homme, Skin Inc Supplement Bar (highly raved facials), VMV Hypoallergenics for the most sensitive of skins and quite a few more! There are also clothing labels like Uniqlo (spanning two levels, from B2 – B3) and also H&M which has an escalator to get to B3 from B2 as well.
As you come down from H&M on B2 to B3, you'll see EpiCentre (Selling Apple gadgets) just outside of it as well as the beginning of many food places – the restaurants on the lower levels are far more affordable than on L4, and you can find my favorites here too – Imperial Treasure Noodle & Congee House, Soup Spoon, Nara Thai, and yum, Itacho Sushi, where we took a break for dinner at!
P.S. – Did you know that Apple has recently, and VERY sneakily renewed their MBA range of laptops? Processor speeds have been updated to 1.4ghz from 1.3ghz… tempting much!
Itacho has been a favorite since it opened in ION and I still like it just that I visit less often since there are so many choices in ION itself! Also there tends to be a long queue after 630 it seems, so go early or queue!
Ahhh, B4. The fastest way to B4 is via the long escalator which leads directly to it from B2! Love this short cut and you can find it between Estee Lauder / Rubi shoes!
Most of the time when I say I need to go to B4, it is only for a few things and my friends are quite used to it – either Boost Juice, or my Butterfly Bun! Hehehe.
Stopped by here for a short break in the midst of all that liaising and shooting and my Vit C Detox Juice was much welcomed!!!
Other than the food court where I often stop by for my Bah Kut Teh (Balestier Founder BKT!) and Butterfly Bun fix ($1, and hands down the most "got standard" Butterfly Buns I've tasted in a long while), there's also Daiso ($2 errthang!), Gelateria Italia is my husband's favorite, and I love getting the Taiyaki (Japanese red bean pastry which comes in a fish shape) from Tsukiji Gindako too!
For quite a while, we also really liked the quality (and a lil bit expensive) katsu over at Ginza Bairin and I always get drawn to the chocolates in Royce. I also get my weekly dosage of 8 days at the mama shop, and as we move along, you can also find both Watsons & Guardian at this level though they're at different "sections"!
Muji (LOVE their PP Storage series!) is at a corner of the mall and so is Jason's, which actually offers pretty nice seafood to go as well as fruits and Japanese vegetable specials from time to time! Since I usually park here, I tend to do my grocery shopping and Muji shopping here as well (easier to lug things from here to the car).
I think you can tell why I love this mall so much – I get so many things done here and there's just so many things to buy. Just yesterday, I brought a friend shopping and she managed at $400 haul from Sephora!
If you find a particular staff's service exemplary, do send in a compliment – the service staff which are often complimented get a service star badge which boosts staff morale = more smiles around for everyone, yes? ; D
P.S. I've always been on the hunt for scents that smell close to ION's – If you like how ION smells like, try getting the Green Tea & Citrus candle from True Grace (available at Strangelets along Yong Siak) or White Tea & Ginger from To be Calm ; ) Both candles cost around $59 SGD!

I remember getting dizzy on my third birthday and loving it. I was at Disneyland at Christmastime, riding the teacups." I've had the unique pleasure and privilege of enjoying the Happiest Place on Earth for four decades. So much has changed, and yet the magic still remains.
When I was three, the Dumbo ride scared me because it was too high and too fast, but a hug from Mickey Mouse and my own set of Mickey ears made up for it.
In sixth grade, my class went to Disneyland for a field trip. We each got a book of tickets, labeled A through E. There were several A-tickets for the slow, non-scary rides. The precious few E-tickets were for rides like the Matterhorn or Snow White, which inspired the expression 'an E-ticket ride' in reference to something wild, fun and/or scary. " Throughout the day, my friends and I positioned ourselves in lines close to cute boys to potentially strike up a conversation and ride together. Even with though I was a cool pre-teen, I had brought my autograph book, hoping with childlike enthusiasm to get Goofy's signature."
In my twenties, I was overwhelmed by the sheer energy it took to wrangle kids captivated by 'Disney-fever.'" " Surely I was never so mesmerized" (ha!)." Almost as soon as my nephews and I entered the newly opened Toontown, I lost the younger of the two boys. " After frantically searching, I finally asked someone for help and they radioed to the lost parents' office where Taylor was waiting. As I ran to Main Street I wondered what I would tell his mother. " But Taylor was just fine. He had calmly walked up to a cast member and said, 'My family is lost.' He, of course, was not lost. After all, how could a kid be lost in Disneyland?
Years later, I was able show my own children the magic and wonder of Disneyland every December and for each of their birthdays. " I can still see my daughter's big blue eyes bug out at the pageantry of the Lion King Parade. My boys loved the snow that fell on Main Street at the holidays. It was so much fun to try out new rides and watch the transformation of older rides. I rejoiced at the opening of California Adventure - not only was it a little quieter, but they also served wine and beer for the frazzled parent in need of a little reprieve.
Now my teen boys would rather I not accompany them to Disneyland, but that doesn't stop me from going. I still run from ride to ride and wait in line to stand next to a character I admire.
When I was a kid, Disney was simply the manifestation of dreams come true, which didn't seem so farfetched to a dreamer like me. But as adult pragmaticism can dull the shimmer of wonder, a place like Disneyland becomes ever more important to feel and live the magic every child knows in his or her heart.

With the January 31st convention date in sight the greasing of palms, scratching, clawing and name calling are now on in earnest. The names of the delegates and the alternates (alternates are called if delegates don't show up then and alternate votes in that slot) are in. Some camps are now afraid of what may happen to the list between now and convention date, they are afraid that it may be tampered with. So they want certified copies be made available to them, because they don't trust the people in charge of the process. Some have suggested that the list be held in a safety deposit box and locked up in a bank vault. However there is even a controversy over the actual amount of delegates (voters) that should comprise the list. Some PUP deep throats we spoke to have told us the total amount of persons on the list should be around 2800 while others have said just above 2900. We don't understand why the discrepancy, but it would not be a PUP operation if there were not a controversy.
