Slipperyfish and Sparksite
About our 'Finding help' facility for children and young people
The 'finding help' tool you have been using has been created to help children and young people in Wiltshire understand more about their worries and to show them that there are lots of people out there who can help.You will have been viewing this finding help tool through either www.slipperyfish.org.uk or through the ?Go Urgent? section within www.sparksite.co.uk. The tool appears on these two sites in slightly different ways:
www.slipperyfish.org.uk shows content designed to help 7 to 12 year olds in Wiltshire. The language is child-friendly and has worries appropriate to that age group (eg being bullied, changing schools, etc).
Sparksite Go Urgent! is a section within a larger site at www.sparksite.co.uk. (Sparksite is a teenagers website designed and run by young people under the guidance of Wiltshire College and Wiltshire Council. For more information about Sparksite please click here.) The finding help tool on this site is called ?Go Urgent? and is written in language appropriate for 13 to 19 year olds. The Go Urgent facility contains worries more suited for this older age group (eg being a teenage mum or dad, smoking, etc).
Both Slipperyfish's and Sparksite?s Go Urgent search facility is run by the Pathways Team on behalf of the Wiltshire Children & Young People?s Trust Board. To find out more about the Trust please visit Wiltshire Pathways (the site is a resource for professionals supporting children and families in Wiltshire and this page sits within the Wiltshire Pathways site).

Contradicting an earlier report, a representative for Gonzaga assistant Ray Giacoletti said Wednesday that his client is not a candidate to be named the next University of Toledo men's basketball coach.
Brad Williams, an attorney based in Spokane, Wash., said Giacoletti has not had any contact with UT officials and is currently in Texas on a recruiting trip.
The UT coaching job has been vacant since Gene Cross submitted his sudden resignation March 11 after posting an 11-53 record in two seasons.

The much-hyped self-financed (private) universities bill, which was given the go-ahead in the legislature, is now stuck after governor K Sankaranarayanan has sent it back on the issue of caste-based reservation. The bill is likely to change to include compulsory seats reserved for certain castes.
The bill, which was cleared in the legislature, saw representation from leaders of socially backward classes opposing the bill on the contention that reservation should be mandatory if the government was recognising these universities.
Leaders like Ramdas Athavale of the Republican party of India (RPI) had argued that the bill, in its current state, was against the constitution, which calls for reservations in every education institute.
In the current form, the bill only stressed on the need for 'affirmative action' and had left it to the universities to consider criteria of both caste and economic conditions while deciding admissions. Following this, the higher and technical education department studied the status of self-financed universities across the country.
It was seen that of the 94 self-financed universities in 18 states, a majority had incorporated caste-based reservations. "In the act that was cleared in the legislature, we had left caste based reservations as a matter to be decided by the particular university. We thought we could not make it compulsory… but this will probably change now to make it mandatory," said DP Sawant, minister of state for higher education.
This bill, which will also give an impetus to foreign collaborations, will be given an open hand in deciding its courses, syllabus as well as fee structures.

Naloxone Training Lauded As Key To Preventing Heroin DeathsFor many people dealing with loved ones and their heroin addiction, the news of nine heroin overdoses over the weekend is mind-blowing.
String Of Heroin Overdoses Prompts Nonprofit's Emergency Training SessionsFive people in Hennepin County overdosed on heroin Thursday, according to a group battling overdoses and addictions. That prompted the Steve Rummler Hope Foundation to host emergency training Saturday.
Dayton To Sign Bill Aimed At Heroin Overdoses The Minnesota on Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a bill to try to slow down a surge in state heroin deaths on Wednesday. The bill, called "Steve's Law," makes it easier to call 911 without penalty if there's a heroin overdose. And it distributes a heroin antidote for overdose emergencies.
'Steve's Law' Seeks To Fight Heroin EpidemicA woman who lost her fiancé to a heroin overdose says Minnesota lawmakers can do something about a growing epidemic that will save lives. On Saturday night, the Steve Rummler Hope Foundation hosted an event at Tuttles in Hopkins to raise awareness about drug addiction. Rummler died three years ago after a heroin overdose. He battled a prescription drug addiction for years following a back injury.

Trade, Exchange Rate, and Energy Pricing Reform in Iran: Potentially Large Efficiency Effects and Gains to the Poor
Iran is committed to substantial trade and market reform in its Third Five Year Development Plan. It started, however, with nontariff barriers on all products, a dual exchange rate regime with the market rate more than four times the official rate, and domestic energy product subsidies of about 90%. The authors develop a multisector computable general-equilibrium model with ten rural and ten urban households to analyze the various reforms, separately and together. Reflecting the large initial distortions, they find that the combined reforms could generate large welfare gains equal to about 50% of aggregate consumer income. Moreover, the results show that well-intentioned policies of commodity subsidies for the poor can have perverse effects. Even nontargeted direct income payments to all households (not just the poor) would enormously and progressively increase the incomes of the poor compared to the status quo.

Flaming Lips Almost Done Recording New Album
The Flaming Lips have made the most out of the year so far, playing plenty of shows and releasing their Record Store Day-exclusive album, 'The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends.' Now the band reveals that it's putting the finishing touches on a new studio album that may be released in late 2012.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, frontman Wayne Coyne has talked up the as-yet-untitled disc. "We did a session last week, and when we get a free couple weeks at the end of July we'll finish it up," he says. "I honestly think it might be the best Flaming Lips record that we've ever made."
Considering how revered their past records are, like 1999's 'The Soft Bulletin' and 2002's 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots,' this is a bold claim made by Coyne. A lot of the material recorded for the upcoming album was made during the 'Heady Fwends' sessions, which will see a formal release on June 26 after its limited availability on Record Store Day.
"It really took us by surprise," Coyne says of the new tracks. "We were kind of making it like we were sleepwalking. Things happen when you're making lots and lots of music and working with lots of freaky people. It sends you off in directions that you would not think of. That's the magic of music."
The Flaming Lips have another huge event to look forward to as they try to break the world record of the most shows played in a 24-hour period. The endeavor starts June 27 in Memphis, Tenn. and will hopefully end a day later in New Orleans, La. The band is looking forward to the challenge, despite knowing there is a chance they could come up short.
"It could be a way that we might do tours from now on," Coyne says. "It's strange on a lot of levels, which intrigued us the most. Even if we screw it up and aren't able to get the actual record, it will still be an insanely marvelous 24 hours of Flaming Lips music."

Hiya - how do you request these and do they cost any extra? is there a map of where rooms with larger beds are at each resort or is it just luck?
i think that most of the hotel rooms have 2 double beds but you can request a king size instead, these i think are less available i think
The WDW value and moderate resorts have two double beds and the deluxe resorts have two queen beds. Fort Wilderness cabins excepted. King beds are a separate category at the value and moderate resorts and there is an additional nightly fee--something around $15 to $20 per night, I believe. Plus tax, of course! Keep in mind that most of the king bedrooms are handicapped/disabled equipped, which means a shower instead of a tub, if that is important to you. Edited to add: I just poked around on AllEars to check out the room configurations for the WDW deluxe resorts. I only looked at a few of them, so more research is recommended. It appears that king beds are available on request; however, they seem to be extremely limited. And WDW takes requests seriously--they are requests only and not guaranteed. So even if you request a king bed--unless it is a handicapped/disabled room required for access--it won't be guaranteed and you could well end up with two queen beds.

Q&A with M5 Networks' Dan Hoffman
Dan Hoffman explains why the company is paying for every employee to learn a musical instrument.
What is the rationale for paying for your employees to learn musical instruments -- and on company time? We call this program "M5 Rock." It's a fun way to reinforce some of the things that are really important to us as a company, like teamwork, listening to each other and, most importantly, learning. This is one of our core values. We grow as a company as fast as our people grow. People forget how to learn -- they forget to practice, they forget how to grapple with something uncomfortable until your body can do it as muscle memory. The program pushes people into a groove of learning that pays big dividends as they go back to learn to sell, support, manage projects, write code and so on.
What is M5 Networks' philosophy on training? First of all, we believe training and learning is one of the most satisfying and fun things you can do at work -- good for staff, good for the company. But you can't read a manual or attend a training seminar and expect it to stick. Real learning must have three elements: repetition, recursion and reciprocation. We design our training programs as themes that last many months on any topic. Recursion means we go after the same thing from many different angles, the way a word has more than one definition in the dictionary. Finally, you have to write or talk or work with the material, and this makes learning a team sport, well suited for a work environment.
Are there measurable effects, such as low turnover? We do have low turnover, but that's not the goal. In fact, we are happy when staff grow their careers with us and then move on. The most measurable effect is that staff that learn faster can do more and more and more. In 2007, we had about $150,000 of revenue per person. In 2010, we'll do almost $300,000 per person. There's real leverage in learning!

Celebrity Couples in Steamy Music Videos

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick in "Criminal"
Britney Spears's "Criminal" video caused controversy long before it was even released. But now that it's hit the web, the tittering is only getting louder.
RELATED: Watch Britney's 'Criminal' video
In the five-minute video, Spears's real-life boyfriend Jason Trawick, her former agent, plays her knight in shining armor, who steals her away from her abusive British boyfriend and becomes her partner in crime. When the two aren't robbing convenience stores, Spears and Trawick are either rolling around in the sheets in next to nothing or completely naked in the shower. Even Spears tweeted of the video, "It's so hot." Considering the fact that she gave Trawick a lapdance on stage not too long ago, they're clearly into PDA.

City Council actions
In other action, the Craig City Council:
• Approved a renewal for a 3.2 percent beer retail license for Pizza Hut, 1070 W. Victory Way.
• Accepted a $3,000 check from Jim McNicol, representing TriState Generation and Transmission, as a donation for Craig's 100th Birthday Celebration.
• Passed a resolution to adopt the Colorado Department of Revenue Liquor Enforcement Division fees schedule, as it was amended on Aug. 7, to raise the price of liquor licenses.
• Approved a contract renewal for municipal judge Kevin Peck. Councilors spoke on Peck's behalf.
"He does a very professional job," Councilor Byron Willems said. "I like the way we deal with first-time offenders. If they stay out of trouble, it goes away. If they don't, then it doesn't."
Craig The Craig City Council addressed a municipal infrastructure question and approved a site plan for a Steamboat Springs Transit regional facility at 616 E. Victory Way during its meeting Tuesday.
The Craig Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the plans Sept. 17, and recommended the City Council do the same.
The facility would serve buses traveling between Craig and Steamboat Springs, with stops in Hayden and Milner, Operations Manager Jonathan Flint said.
The bus service currently has a route through Craig, but this new building will offer an indoor waiting area and a parking lot, so people can drive there and leave their cars if they plan on being out of town for an extended time, Flint said.
"That's going to add a lot to the city of Craig," Councilor Ray Beck said. "That's going to be huge."
With this facility, SST is on its way to better serving the Yampa Valley population, said Flint, who thanked the council for its cooperation.
"It's a very ambitious project," he added. "On a state-wide level, the discussion of regional transportation, which Greyhound abandoned some years ago, is a growing one and an important one."
SST first began its regional services around 1989, Flint said. Since then, there have been numerous factors hindering expansion, including site selection and financial concerns.
Greyhound Lines, the largest North American intercity bus company, closed its line from Denver to Salt Lake City about three or four years ago, Flint said.
The SST regional facility in Craig will be modeled after its Stockbridge Center in Steamboat Springs, which houses and serves as a hub for several transportation entities, such as taxi and bus companies.
The Craig facility is being built with the intention of accommodating a large bus service in the future, if the idea of one generates interest.
"The thought with this going in is, even though there is no Greyhound service, and our route is just (Craig) to Steamboat, what's being built could overnight be turned into a ticket office," Flint said.

A friend called the other day asking me to explain why funding for K-12 in this year's state budget wasn't larger? Also, was K-12 taking more than its "fair share" of Colorado tax dollars? I thought they were both good and important questions that perhaps deserved an answer to a larger audience.
It's déjà vu all over again — if we're a year away from a presidential election, it must be time to talk about how we pick our delegates to national nominating conventions.
It should be legal to use rain barrels Editor: As a water conservationist and home gardener, I support the practice of capturing rainwater from my roof for use around our home, returning it to its natural sources in the ground. When I moved to Colorado a few years back, I was surprised and dismayed that the state does not allow rain barrels — something my home state of Texas proudly encouraged.
On Feb. 18, the Colorado Senate presented the House of Representatives with a take-it-or-kill-it ultimatum on a spending bill for the Department of Public Safety. The disagreement centered on whether more funds should be made available to process criminal background checks for gun permits. At that point, it looked like developing a state budget was going to be a very difficult task.
So, why did she really do it? What was Hillary Clinton's real reason for running her public e-mail through a private device and with a specially installed private server in her home while she was secretary of state?
Public business is the public's business. It shouldn't matter whether someone uses and pays for a personal device; the public policy remains the same. If a record is made, kept or maintained for a public purpose, the public deserves access to that record unless there is a specifically delineated exemption provided for in the law.
When the original "Star Trek" debuted in September 1966, our nation was about to be torn apart by an unpopular war in Vietnam and by race riots at home. In the nearly half-century since, the science-fiction juggernaut spawned five additional television series and 12 movies on its way to becoming a cultural icon.
At first, many assumed "Star Trek" to be an escapist space opera, but it didn't take long for the writers to begin secreting much bigger issues into their scripts, from racism to war to civil rights.
Mike Coffman, Colorado's congressman from the 6th District, can be a bulldog.
Once he latches onto something, he tends to hang on for dear life until the point he wants to make is clear or the issue he's pursuing has come to some kind of resolution.
You know you've reached a certain point in life when a longtime friend is recognized as a legend. And so it was for Laurie and me last week when we attended the Colorado High School Activities Association Hall of Fame induction dinner to see South Jeffco resident Marcia Neville be inducted.
The Evergreen Fire Protection District has decided to impose a $500 fee on out-of-district residents who are at fault in auto accidents where EFPD responds. It is a terrible decision that should be revoked.
By Evergreen resident Peter Link
Kevin Trenberth and I have known each other for about seven years. We disagree on global warming. We met again at the Foothills World Affairs Council meeting on Nov. 16, and though we shook hands in greeting, I was dismayed by his introduction of politics into his presentation, for which he used comic slides.
Thirty-five years ago, my husband, Phil, and I spent our honeymoon in England, Europe and Greece. Besides a celebration of our marriage, it was a genealogy trip. Phil has been tracing family history for more than 40 years. He loves it! That's how I know Phil and I are 14th cousins, which explains the twitch that both of our children have … just kidding — about the twitch, I mean.
For the first time in 10 years, Colorado is generating enough tax revenue that the spending limitations in the Taxpayers' Bill of Rights are set to kick in next year. It's estimated that the state will collect $137 million more than it is allowed to spend under TABOR. There is also about $30 million in marijuana tax revenue that the state cannot spend without voter approval.
The legislature has several options to address the surplus and has used each of them in the six times TABOR has required action since it was passed by voters in 1992.
In what was arguably the best election night for Republicans since 1994, Colorado's reputation as a very purple state has remained intact.
Republicans made huge gains across the country. They picked up at least seven seats, including Colorado's, in the U.S. Senate to take control of that body. They increased their majority in the U.S. House by at least 10 seats. They won several governor races, and Republican governors will now be in place in 31 states. They achieved significant gains in state legislatures around the country.
Six former HD25 legislators endorse Keyser
As residents of House District 25 and as current and former members of the Colorado House of Representatives and Colorado Senate, we are writing to add our voices to the growing number of people in our community who are proudly supporting Jon Keyser for Colorado state representative.
Early in the afternoon of the first Monday in October (the day the Supreme Court convenes each year for its new term), I got an e-mail from House Speaker Mark Ferrandino titled "Love Wins." It announced that the Supreme Court had declined to hear any of the marriage equality cases from various courts of appeals and that Attorney General John Suthers had announced he would take steps to clear the way for gay marriage in Colorado.
Out of life¹s worst moments can come life¹s best lessons.
I've seen that at every natural disaster I've ever covered, where someone who just lost virtually every personal possession short of the shirt off his back still can manage to voice some variation of, "At least my family is safe, and that's really all that matters."
Well, I just saw that spirit in spades at the restaurant across from Evergreen Lake called Willow Creek. The couple who own it, Kristopher and Curtis Lincoln, lost their daughter more than a decade ago.
"The history of liberty is the history of resistance."
— Woodrow Wilson
I have remained stubbornly silent about the new school board majority for many months, mainly because I felt the three new members deserved a chance to prove that the hysteria about hidden agendas was an overreaction.
And then there were four.
While a lot of attention was focused on Gov. John Hickenlooper's work to successfully negotiate an agreement to spare us from four competing ballot initiatives on fracking, four other ballot initiatives have made their way onto our November ballot.
The topics range from personhood to gambling to open meetings to food labeling. In a somewhat refreshing twist, two of the four proposals are initiated laws instead of amendments to our state constitution.

Last Year and This Year:
I continue to get asked questions and to field comments about the cold winter in the northeast of the U.S. As many of you know, this has fueled a lot of discussion about whether or not the basic tenets of global warming are real. I have argued in previous blogs that the northeastern part of the U.S. is not representative of the temperatures of the globe as a whole, and, yes, it still gets cold in the Arctic and Antarctic in the winter. The Sun goes down for a long time. (Cold in a Warm World and Opinions and Anecdotal Evidence). Globally, January 2009 turned out to be the seventh warmest on record. (see Jeff Master's blog)
As I was poking around I decided to look at the average temperatures from January 2008. The temperatures from January 2008 and 2009 are shown in the figures below.
Figure 1: Temperature anomalies for the U.S. in January 2008 and January 2009. These are differences from a thirty year mean calculated from the observations between 1971 and 2000.
What is remarkable about these pictures is the placement of the warmer than average and colder than average regions in the two years. In 2009 the Northeast was cold; in 2008 it was warm. In 2009 the US West was warm; in 2008 it was cold. This could be viewed as the warmer and cooler regions of a wave in temperature being at different locations in the two years. Interestingly, I don't remember a lot of rhetoric that "global warming is spurious" coming out in 2008, from say, Seattle. (Perhaps someone can find something?)
As a curiosity, I note the differences in some of the smaller features, say, Florida, Alabama and Georgia, and Missouri and Oklahoma. I point out that Alaska is, mostly, cold in both years.
Wunderground.com readers tend to be more weather savvy than average and appreciate that the weather at middle latitudes is closely associated with waves of different wave lengths. There are very long waves whose positions are largely determined by the placement of mountain ranges and the temperature contrast between the continents and the oceans. On top of these waves the smaller weather disturbances move; they vary with time periods of a few days. The long waves effectively guide the weather disturbances.
The long waves that are strongly influenced by the mountain range location and the ocean and land temperature contrast, generally, are more persistent in time than the weather disturbances. Sometimes these long waves become stuck and persist for many days, perhaps a few weeks. In the case of a persistent long wave pattern, a particular region can have persistent weather, a period of storminess or drought or heat or cold. When we say El Nino and La Nina influence weather patterns, we are saying that the changes in the geographical structure of the ocean temperature are influencing the long waves in the atmosphere and guiding weather systems to particular locations.
This waviness is part of the natural variability, and the difference between January 2008 and January 2009 shows typical observed variability. With regard to climate change, one has to pose the question of whether or not the long waves that are sensitive to sea and land temperatures will be forced into more persistent patterns. If yes, this would lead to more extended periods of drought, storminess, hot, and cold. This does not mean that cold winter temperatures are eliminated; it still gets cold in the Arctic and the Antarctic when the Sun goes down. And if Arctic cold is pushed from Canada to south and east it will make the eastern half of the U.S. cold for a while - perhaps very cold. One way to look for dynamic variability is to look for compensating warm and cold regions.
The Next Big Climate Story? I have stated before, not in the spirit of fun, we do have one proven way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. That is, economic collapse. I expect that the current economic turn down will have measurable impact on carbon dioxide emissions. Minimally, the rate of increase will be reduced. It is a large down turn, and there could, ultimately, be an observed decrease in carbon dioxide emissions. If this is true, then I expect that there will be much to fuel the arguments that global warming is a problem that is there to be dismissed. Keep an eye open for this one.

Learning about Ice:
First, thanks to Jeff for covering for me. I've been overwhelmed with some of those official duties provided by the U of Michigan. This included a trip to Florida to talk about climate change to alumni. Of course the question of the cold winter in the U.S. came up. It's already old news that even with the cold in the East of the U.S., the warmth in the West was enough to make the January 2009 just about average. Plus the fires in Australia brought attention to the record heat in Australia.
Part of my job in the last month has led to me learning a lot more about ice sheets. Some may recall that when the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report was issued by the IPCC, that there was some controversy about whether or not the melting of the polar ice sheets had been underestimated.
It is my opinion that the melting of the ice sheets was underestimated in the IPCC report. This is based on two reasons. The first reason is that the dynamics of ice sheets and the melting of ice sheets have only been crudely estimated in climate models. Only in the past few years have we been making serious progress on this problem. As we incorporate the melting of ice to form water and the flow of water through the ice sheets we discover processes that speed up melting. The second reason is – that in a situation of such uncertainty arguments of extreme melting are not well posed. These both lead to what, in my opinion, is an underestimate of ice sheet melting, and likely therefore, sea level rise.
Remember, ice sheet melting is compensated for by increased ice being deposited at high elevations in both Greenland and Antarctic. (I usually ask, why is this the case?) Sea level rise is related to whether or not there is net loss to ice sheets.
What I have learned in the last week is that we have made some progress in understanding the physics of ice sheet melting. Our old ways of thinking about ice melting because the air was warm, perhaps like the ice cubes that I drop on the floor, leads to it being centuries before the ice sheets melt. More recently we have seen the pictures of lakes forming on the ice sheets and disappearing, flowing into the ice sheets. This leads to a lubrication of the base of the ice sheet and increases the flow. This process definitely leads to fast melting, but the thermodynamics of this process suggest that it is not likely to lead to ice sheet collapse.
Some may recall early on in my blog a collection of blogs on melting ice. (Warm Snow, Fast Ice, The End of Ice?). In these blogs the importance of ice shelves and, perhaps, sea ice in buttressing the ice sheets flowing into the sea was discussed. Both the buttressing and insulating effects of ice shelves and sea ice is emerging as important. This allows the glaciers flowing from the ice sheets to "feel" the sea water. The heat associated with the sea water leads to accelerated melting. There is a lot of heat in the sea. This interaction between the sea and the ice is emerging as the most important melt mechanism.
What does this mean? A couple of things come to mind. One is the possibility of episodic mass loss. As the glacier retreats from the sea, it losses contact with the sea, the warmth. Therefore it gets some time to recover, until the leading edge gets to the sea again. This, I assert, still leads to accelerated mass loss. (Assertion based on years of studying irreversible transport in the atmosphere.) The second thing that comes to mind is that we have a physical reason to expect cyclical behavior in ice melt associated with atmospheric-oceanic cycles, i.e. the North Atlantic Oscillation.
The basic conclusions that the surface global temperature will rise, sea level will rise and the weather will change are robust. Also in the news this week is that the presidents of the Maldives and Kiribati are aggressively planning the evacuation of their nations.

The antarctic ozone hole is a loss of stratospheric ozone in springtime over Antarctica that peaks in September each year. The hole first opened up in 1979, and has been proven to be the result of human emissions of large quantities of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances into the atmosphere. The 2008 hole was the fifth largest on record, according to NASA. On September 12, 2008, the hole reached it maximum size of 27 million square kilometers, which was 12% larger than the 24 million square kilometers of the 2007 hole. The 2008 hole was larger than North America, which is 25 million square kilometers. Record ozone holes were recorded in both 2000 and 2006, when the size of the hole reached 29 million square kilometers. The 2008 hole was bigger than the 2007 hole due to the fact that the jet stream was quite stable over Antarctica this September, which allowed very cold air in the so-called "polar vortex" over Antarctica to remain isolated from the warmer regions farther to the north. As a result, when sunlight began shining on the Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs) in the Antarctic during their spring (September), the resultant chemical reactions were able to destroy more ozone than in 2007.
Figure 1. Antarctic ozone hole size over the past few years. Image credit:NOAA's Climate Prediction Center.
Thanks for an international agreement called the Montreal Protocol in 1987, emissions of ozone-depleting gases have been sharply curtailed. NASA estimates that levels of ozone-depleting substances in the stratosphere peaked in 2000, and had fallen by 3.8% by 2008. The ozone hole is expected to disappear by 2050. The wunderground Ozone Hole page has more information.

I have it: 290 I had it: 213 I want it: 208 My signature: 11
After the first two fragrances for women, Mont Blanc launched Femme Individuelle. This is a very feminine, oriental perfume with fruity and woody notes. Sharp pink pepper and sour black currant are in the top. The heart is made of lotus blossom, hawthorn and rose. Oriental essence of patchouli, amber, musk and vanilla is in the base. The perfume was created by Michel Almairac of the perfume house of Robertet in 2004.

Have you tried Yves Rocher So Elixir EDT? It is so similar and they even share the same notes.
In short, this is a very inoffensive soft spicy feminine fragrance that you would enjoy but need to reapply every four hours or so because the scent just disappears completely after 5 hours.
Very delicate rose infused with some berry tones and spiced up with pink pepper underlined by quite a bit of patchouli and musk.
Safe and nice but not strong enough to be impressive.
This is the first perfume my husband ever bought for me. It's received a ton of compliments. It's very feminine and pretty. I love the redcurrent and vanilla note together.
This one is awesome!
I'm not into spicy perfumes, but this one stands apart. It's all about pink pepper, pink pepper and pink pepper; but in the best way possible. There exists a pink-peppery substrate and the other notes are arranged on it.
From the first moment to the time of it's fadedness, a pink halo with little sparkling grains of pink pepper would be around you. It's really spicy, but light . I feel a kind of delicate and relatively faint sweetness as well which I guess is derived from rose and vanilla.
A loveable must-try ! ♥
This was a blind buy because i saw that it was a Michel Almairac creation. I also saw that the notes showed soft spicy pink pepper scents and I was hoping that it would have a peppery feel similar to Bryant Park.
It didn't. It was a bit of a disappointment for me. It's a nice floral inoffensive scent. But I don't get that spicy vibe a lot of reviewers seem to get and it's just not a perfume that pulls at my heartstrings. It's sort of indistinguishable from a lot of other mainstream floral scents.
What on earth am I smelling compared to everyone else. (as per previous comments)
I intensely dislike this fragrance and even my partner who never comments, asked me what on earth it was.
I couldn't even use it as a bathroom freshener.
Its sickly sweet-and it reminds of a red boiled lolly I used to eat when a child.
If anyone would like it and lives in Melbourne Australia please respond. Its all yours..... (12/2015)
I bought this because it's been said to resemble the discontinued Miracle Forever which I adored. Well, apart from the opening, it doesn't. A little disappointing but Femme Individuelle is a nice fragrance on it's own. I perceive it as a relatively light scent, at least for me it's too light for late fall and winter. It might be a scent that shines more in warmer weather. It's quite spicy but it's not heavy. Moderate longevity and soft sillage.
EDIT: In addition to the fact that the longevity and sillage leave quite a lot to be desired, I'm beginning to realize that there's something in it that annoys me (not exactly sure what it is). Anyhow, I think it's time to find a new home for this scent...
On my skin this fragrance is close sister of Bottega Veneta. A real twin I would say.
More discreet, classy ambry-pepper-patchouli. I don't get any rose or lotus, no any sweetness. At the end I can feel an echo of vanilla. But it isn't sweet gurmandy vanilla. It's more vanilla tobacco. Like in grandfather pipe ;-)
I love it!
My ambery mania get worse and worse. After Reveal CK Individuelle is the next one on my wishlist.
I love pink pepper in perfumes. But unfortunately it is not the most prominent note. The most prominent note is patchouli transforming the flagrance in kind of oriental scent. Rose and pink pepper are more on the back ground. When I spray it on the wrist It smells differently comparing to my neck. On my wrist it does not last long but the scent is beautiful and more sweet, I get more pink pepper and roses. But on my neck it's more patchouli turning in oriental way.
Generally it's a good flagrance but I prefer the kind of smell I get from my wrist rather then patchouli dominant scent. I already have oriental kind of flagrance resembling to femme individuelle. It's "oriens" van cleef&arpels. It's more sweet and have different notes mentioned but is in oriental category for me.
Well generally I like it but won't repurchase again. It's not MY flagrance and I wear it at work like I try to wear a mask in the professional environment. It's not me.
I bought this a couple years ago and was delighted with its peppery, fresh and elegant vibe. But that was winter and I can tell I didn´t give it a chance to "expand" itself, so I grew bored of it afterwards....
What happened was I tried it again this Spring (I live in Argentina.. and we have some crazy spring days that seem like hot, humid summer ones – about 35 degress Celsius!), and there was such a difference! The rose and vanilla popped up, the whole scent now evolved around a beautiful floral, spicey pyramid with soft "vanillic" sides.. got lots of compliments on this one! it really changes depending on the season, so do give this a try in hotter days and see how it works on your skin, not just winter ;)
This perfume goes against the mainstream candy sweet/floral fresh scents. Really for an individualistic person, an open minded and strong woman. My imagination "shows" an Irish elf queen -green, sparkling eyes, long,red hair, her dress is made from leaves, moss and other natural elements. On her head I see a rose and wood berry tiara.
Already the opening -a quite strong, fresh spicy wave. There's some soft pepper and bay leaf, but together they give some kind of fern, pine wood, some kind of soft moss. The it settles down, and I feel those beautiful floral notes. There's an expensive, rare sort of roses, very unusual. In my imagination it could be that dark, dark red, almost black Baccara rose - a bit mysterious and some steps away from what we usually imagine when we hear "rose".
The dry down on me is woody + spicy, maybe a bit even masculine. I feel again those opening notes, but just in a softer version, and there's some light, delicious patchouli and natural vanilla added which make this scent delicately feminine without being too common. A really underrated, original, sensual and lovely very high quality perfume.
Not my signature notes, but blind-bought this one online because it came highly recommended from another rose junkie friend. Love the warmth of bay leaves, pepper, amber and musk with the rose notes. This somewhat reminds me of Christian Lacroix Tumulte, but in a good way. Tumulte is has a dark sensuous rose, where as the spice in Individuelle comes from bay leaves and pepper and the rose itself I think is lighter.
I can use this only on cooler nights since its too warm and spicy for daywear, given I live in a place that has mostly tropical climate. Oh, and the husband loves it so bonus points for that :)
I find this bordering on masculine fragrance, but it rather complements my fiercely independent side!
Edited to add - I got bored of it too quickly - maybe because of the spiciness of the pepper which just doesn't match up with the sweltering heat here. Anyone in India wants a twice or thrice used bottle of this for a swap, send me a message :)
It's sensual and sexy perfume,flirty scent...delicate and feminine!!!! it draws a lot of compliments wearing....sweet and spicy too!!!! I love it!!!! It lasts long,it's a perfume for special occasions!!!!
One of my all time favorite fragrances. Quite masculine, but at the same time very sexy and feminine. But not little girl kind of feminine, the I-take-charge-of-my-own-life kind of feminine. I get compliments every time I wear it. It just doesn't last that long on my skin.
I sprayed it on me half an hour ago - oh, it makes me feel happy! :-)This scent is so elegant and non-banal.
By the way, to me it smells exactly the way Kiselina has described.
It was a blind-buy for me and such a nice one!...
Claudja Smeller, uma dica: pare de usar o tradutor do google, pelo amor de deus!
O que você escreveu em ''inglês'' está totalmente diferente do que você disse em português. Isso porque o tradutor funciona como um dicionário.. faz as traduções ao pé da letra e não faz a correspondência das regras gramaticais da língua portuguesa para o inglês. Aí o resultado final fica todo errado. Por ex.: ele não traduziu ''floraizinhos''.
Wore this in wintertime once and a colleague of mine literally stuffed his face in my hair and murmured something for a while in what seemed to be like pure pleasure! Guess it has this sexy kitten quality: it's warm and spicy, at the same time it envelopes you like a favourite pashmina, and floats along the whole day. White musk, white and black pepper, powder and something sparkly - a lovely cocktail for a winter day/night. Since it's not at all bold, but rather standing out only if the wearer does so herself, I find it agrees well with office environments. There's also a touch of masculinity in it, which plays well on a lady with gamine features, who wants to accentuate her femininity while empracing lightness and boyishness of her stature.
Unfortunately, I got quickly bored with it - I personally prefer scents that give me a push, rather than fuse with who I already am: I sort of feel stagnating in life then. So one lippie off for the absense of the it-will-knock-off-your-socks element.
To all perfumes lovers: please don't buy perfumes on someone's reviews. All our noses so individual. Smell it before buying to avoid disappointments. To me this is truly magical fragrance and I can bear read a feedback from some dody who buys it never smelling it before. Insane!
Love this fragrance! Couldn't find it anywhere.They protect it's identity and don't sell it in duty frees and even not in Harvey Nichols, not in Harrods. Everything what they sell on eBay is fakes from china. Only got it from their boutique when was on holiday in Nice. So happy now!!!!
Lovely scent! A very soft and slightly sweet oriental. It stays very close to the skin in a very pleasant and cosy way. It stays on your skin for about 6 hours and it´s suitable for during the daytime. It won´t offend anyone. It smells expensive and chic.
I bought it blind based on reviews. I am quite disappointed because it turned out to be very different than what I expected. It isn't truly feminine and it is a bit sour smelling. Also the longevity isn't great. Gave it away.
Translated from the Portuguese (below) to the English:
The Mont Blanc perfumes that are differentiated. They are chic, are present, and suitable for women and strong personality, but at the same time feminine, those women who do not use floraizinhos, because they are just 'ones' .... srsrsrs.
Some attribute the feature unisex for them, including the Femme Individuelle, but I think they have the power to enhance that 'Q' that these women are true leaders in their personality.
Finally, it is a perfume that was made for me .... srsrrsrsrr.
Os perfumes da Mont Blanc são diferenciados mesmo. São chiques, são de presença, e indicados para mulheres fortes e de personalidade, mas ao mesmo tempo femininas; aquelas femininas que não usam floraizinhos, porque elas são exatamente 'onas'....srsrsrs.
Alguns atribuem a característica unissex para eles, inclusive para o Femme Individuelle, mas eu penso que eles têm o poder de realçar esse 'Q' feminino que estas verdadeiras líderes possuem em sua personalidade.
Enfim, é um perfume que foi feito pra mim....srsrrsrsrr.
Had it a couple of years ago. Really liked it, but must admit its not a day fragrance, it's warm and strong, but very pleasant. Warmed me up in a cold winter. Thinking of getting it again.
I bought this perfume online because of the good reviews .. I'm so disappointed . It's very strong and masculine .. I don't like it at all .
Femme Individuelle surprised me. The pink juice made me expect a watered down floral, heavy on rose or freesia or something. What I got instead was something quite unique. The femme who wears this is an individuelle indeed!
The top note of bay is very strong to me and I'm not a huge fan when it's still wet. It's so herby and medicinal, it makes me think of Vick's VapoRub. Thankfully it tones down as it dries and begins to blend with the currant. The bay never leaves completely but it takes it's place in the background as a support structure for all the other notes.
The reviewer who mentioned that this had a slight "plastic doll head" quality was correct. I happen to be one of those people who loves that doll head smell. I seek it out. The notes I voted as strongest are: Pink pepper, bay, red currant and vanilla. The florals exist but I can't pick out individual flowers. This isnt for a girly girl, it's for a sassy girl in charge.
I remember that once upon a time I was nearly determined to buy it without sniffing, but then I found a tester in one of my local department stores and I wasn't really impressed, because it smelled very herby in an unpleasant way. I usually like herbs in my perfumes and I am often drawn to 'medicinal' notes, but this just didn't work.
Today, about a year after my first testing, I have revisited this fragrance and I still don't experience the 'wow' which I have always expected from a fragrance named 'Femme Individuelle'. My nose is better trained now, but it still just doesn't work for me, although now I at least know why. I normally like the smell of bay leaf, but it doesn't appeal to me when mixed with the juicy redcurrant and vanilla, which is exactly what I smell in the opening. This phase mellows out after about half an hour and I am left with a very pleasant, but also very common fruity-floral based on redcurrant, vanilla, a hint of sweet lotus, rose and a bit of musk.
The 'individuality' can be seen in the opening because that fruity-bay leaf combo is not very commonplace, but everything after that is just waaaay to familiar on my skin. On top of that, the bay leaf note smells a bit off to me, and maybe there is some other herby note in there, which is not listed on the website? Anyway, those herbs are an unexpected fragrance spoiler for me in here.
It lasts about 5-6 hours on me and projects well.
Femme Individuelle used to be on my 'dislike' list, but today it has stepped up to the level of a fragrance which I wouldn't mind having in my drawer, but probably wouldn't buy myself, because there are many perfumes which I want much more.
This fragrance reminds me of Cairo, which I have had many years ago. I'm happy to have found a similar flavor. I would like to purchase Cairo again, but this perfume is nowhere.
For me it is like TM's Angel with red currant version. So I like such version very much (bigsmile :D)
I like Individuelle. I wear it to work and I think that´s perfect.It was a long staying power!!
OK.. at first i wasn't so sure about this one... the pink bottle caught my eye but then i saw the price and said to myself: too cheap to be worth it! but man was i wrong!!! i gave it a try and bought a small bottle... what can i say...amazing things come in small bottles!it's amazing very long lasting and when i say very i mean at least 7-8 hours and draws lots of compliments everybody expecting to be a really expensive perfume!if you want a perfume which can be used either at work or on special occasions this is the one for you!
Looking at the bottle, the juice color and the bottle you may think, oh it's another light casual feminine fragrance. But Femme Individuelle is nothing of that kind. It's an amazing fragrance with a strong and a very unique personality. I think it's the bay leaf that gives it bit of masculinity and makes it so different from other fragrances. I can see a strong, confident woman wearing this beauty.
Spectacular sillage and longevity! Mont Blanc is a very understated house that offers high quality and unique fragrances. I just wish I had discovered it earlier.
Creamy, woody and full of peppery berries. I love this perfume! It is a scent I can picture wearing in the fall and winter. Great lasting power too!!!
I quite like it, another found of my father in a boot fair!
The top notes are very fresh and vibrant, somewhat fruty gourmand to my nose. Very feminine, young and happy. After a couple of minutes the scent settles to a more earthy but still sweet scent that I like less. This part is somewhat artificial and sickening with a strong anh headaching lotus flower mixed up with a fake barbie rose. The patchouli unfortunatly dont show up on my skin in this fragrance, without cheking the notes I would never find it. To me MBFI is all about the peper, lotus and rose.
It is a sophisticated, safe and feminine perfume. Good for office wear as for special occasions - very formal.
Personality: A perfect executive in a pearl necklace.
Sillage: Great in the first 5 minutes.
Longevity: 6 hours.
Lovely scent, starts woody but settles down a little sweet in a lovely non overbearing manner.
Lasts practically all day, perfect for meetings or a day of work and an evening out!
Blimey, I wonder if the bottle I smelled was off as this was a total scrubber on me, sour, headache inducing and like 'Angel' gone wrong with a note of hairspray I just couldn't tolerate. I imagine the budget may have affected the great Almairacs original composition?
I had a bottle of it as a gift.I didn't like it at the begining, it seems to me too strong and sweet for my taste. But I received many compliments from men and women of different ages. Now, I think I'll buy a bottle. It stays more than 12 hours on my skin.
I am in love! I have been waiting to buy this and I don't know why I waited 5 years! Just as I remembered......perfect for me!
It does smell a bit masculine minus the lil bit sweetness in it. it is loads of pepper. but over all its very good in the dry down. i like it. i wear it most to work.
I really like Individulle!!! It´s nothing exclusive, there are others scents that reminds me this one, but it still is a very well done one!!
I smell the pink pepper note on the top, but only about half hour. I can´t get the midle and base notes on separate, just a grown up vanillic cotton-candy, with a peppery touch, lovely!!
It was a long staying power!!
PS: I´ve just smell it on a tester paper.
This perfume is very musculine to me. Too much pepper, patchouli, wood, strawberry...? and something I can't even describe. As someone mentioned before there is a note of camphor which I hate. This mixture is unbearable.
Famme Individuelle was my favorite fragrance in 2006-2007. I wore it night and day at that time. One friend of mine told me that I smelled like a firtree. But oriental freshness of Femme Individuelle bears no resemblance to the firtree. It´s a pleasant aroma of lotus and rose with spices, and in the end soft vanilla drydown. It´s really individual with its outstanding combination of sour-sweet-fresh-spicy! I got a lot of compliments from men about my perfume. I still remember it and I miss my bottle of Femme Individuelle.
I love the scent, it is clean and elegant, prefer to wear it at daytime. But one thing i did not like - it wore off so fast, after 1-2 hours it was completely gone for me
The pink pepper and the bay leaf give currants and roses a spicy aromatic tone, a little bit minty. The dry-down is a very pleasant warm vanilla. Definitely, a very distinct perfume, a modern classic and really "individual", suitable for office and for special occasions, as well.
I luv this perfume. Thanks to all the members of fragrantica.com and their comments because of which I did not hesitate to purchase this online and I just luv it. I luv the musky and vanilla smell and the sweet but not too sweet smell. It's great! I sprayed it on my sis without showing her the perfume and she says it smells great...
Has a oriental and woody essence strictly meant for an evening wear
Easy to love truth fragrance. Which one an acid mother said. Hello to you with a currant arriving with a red baccate touch with a peppery launch mildly. The surprise comes now. I was not able to imagine it for drawn bean known well from our kitchen, how can exist in what kind of harmony with the fragrances written down already.the green one strengthens it gently (grass) feeling, but the culinária does not take the effect away towards it.the flowers extinguish each other quasi, because the flashy of the rose quasi immediately strangles the wet quiet of the lotus. The creamy vanilla, which the three to which used was got already is, is felt quite strongly at the time of withering off onto a carriage /ambergris, patchouli, musk/ leaning follows away very long us. Who desires an easy-going, feminine fragrance which can be used advantageously with a spring, in summer brings a good decision if he selects this fragrance.
Sweet strawberry, cotton candy, rose and at the same time-something crispy cold! This perfume is sparkling, optimistic and has an incredible staying power!
A spicy, sweet & sour "rosy" fragrance with a watery feel. It is delicate, yet the redcurrent & pink peppercorns pack a punch & stop it from being twee. Over time it becomes sweeter (never sickly) & more rosey. Somewhere I get bayleaves & moss, although they are not mentioned.
To my nose there is something off-kilter in the mix of this fragrance. It is a little bit fruity, a little bit floral, a little bit aquatic, a little bit spiced, a little bit sweet, a little bit sour.....& yet it doesn't really gel well. To me, it creates an OK fragrance & not a "wow" scent.
If you like a peppery, sour rose you may enjoy this scent. (Also, those that like a hint of 'plastic dolls' would enjoy this!)
Sorry Mont Blanc this smelt very sickly sweet on me and smelt as if I was trying to cover up the smell of damp laundry (which I was not).. instead of smelling nicer I smelt worse.
I've been collecting perfumes three years now and this was one of my first. I love this one it's different and it smells nice on my skin.
First few sniffs I get sweet strawberries. Then camphor/sage drift (maybe the pink pepper? bay leaf? hawthorne?) which keeps it from being overly lollipop. The drydown doesn't change much. I can't pick up any of the basenotes at all. A little rich for warm weather but would be nice in fall or winter I think.
Lovely smell. Its hardy to describe.
Its sweet but no to much. Wonderful. My favorite!
This perfume is incredible. Sweet, but not to much. Wodsy. Last a long time on skin. And drive the guys crazy. It´s not for summer days. Maybe in fresh nights, and put just a little. It´s a really really sensual fragrance.
I have it and smells delicately good..very feminine.
very classic, but lovely... i have it..it is great! i think, i will buy it again :)
I ordered it out of curiosity and...because I was a bit bored:-)
Never regretted trying it out and wearing it is an occasion as special as can be:)
I can definitely feel the red currant and the lotus which does not disappear when the base notes of musk and vanilla leave a delicate trail!
Simply love it!
A must-try!

It really is amazing how popular the Geometry Wars series has become. From it's modest roots as a mini-game, to an XBLA launch title, to where it's at today with Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2. It's become the most well known title on the Xbox Live Marketplace, and if you know someone with a 360, there's a good chance it has Geometry Wars on it. To match its popularity, it has synonymously become known as the most addictive pick up and play title on any of the systems it has appeared on. If someone is playing any iteration of Geometry Wars, there's a good chance that you're going to hear them utter the words "Just one more game" at some point. As someone who loves the series, It really has been great to watch it's evolution over the past several years as it has become available to a much broader audience.
I am glad to report that fans of the series (or video games in general) will have nothing to be disappointed about with GW2. Bizarre Creations listened to what people wanted, polished it up, and delivered a title that is more than worth it's $10 price tag. Not only have they added 5 more game modes to challenge your dual-analogs, but they've refined the actual game play to the point that changes so much yet keeps it all invariably the same. With the inclusion of updated graphics, music, and leaderboards, Bizarre seems to have hit the mark and created a game that will keep people busy for quite some time.
The first game mode you'll have access to in GW2 is Deadline. Deadline is a race against time to score as many points as possible within 3 minutes. It's probably the best mode to introduce people to the game as you're given an unlimited amount of lives and the only thing you're trying to achieve is a high score. This is where GeoWars veterans will notice the biggest change to the game play standard set in the earlier titles. In GW2 the player will have to collect multipliers from shot down enemies in order to achieve higher scores. This dynamically changes the way the game is played because it introduces a risk/reward system that will reward those that decide it's worth it to collect every Geom (term used for multiplier) they can. What veteran players will enjoy is the fact that Deadline, probably more than any other mode, challenges you to stay alive for as long as possible. While you do have unlimited lives, a death in Deadline means the screen gets cleared of enemies and it can take a good 20 seconds until it gets fully populated again. No new enemies, means nothing to shoot down, which ultimately leads to you not getting any points. It's a great mode for everyone but I feel Deadline is the ultimate mode for people who don't have as much time to game as others. You can boot up Deadline, play 4 or 5 games within 15 minutes, and then turn it off to do whatever it is you have to do.
The second mode you'll unlock is King, probably the most original of all the new modes in GW2. The basic premise of King is to blast enemy ships from the inside of a safe bubble, and move to another bubble when the original dissipates. It sounds easy enough but once things start to really get moving in King, you'll only have a few seconds to take out the ships surrounding your bubble before it becomes completely surrounded. What I really enjoyed about King was the fact that it requires much more forward thinking than any other mode. At any given time, you have to know where all the bubbles are, and you have to ensure you've blown yourself a safe path to get to them before hand. With only 1 life at your disposal, it comes down to thinking ahead and focusing on survival more than anything else. While I haven't gotten really good at King yet, I can totally see the appeal of it with the more hardcore GW players.
Evolved is available after playing King about 5 times, and it's pretty much the same as the original game but evolved. Get it? Bizarre has added the new ships that appear in GeoWars2 into the mix, and while it may sound like more of the same, they can totally change the way the game is played. What has changed significantly is that the transitions between enemy waves are not as predictable as they were in the first XBLA release. In the first game, you could almost predict when a change was going to happen on the field and move to a safe area. In GW2, it doesn't feel as timed and it ends up being much more fun. The inclusion of the new straight shooting Orange ship creates a totally new level of difficulty, but it only adds to the overall fun and never gets frustrating. What I immediately loved about Evolved is how much more fun the Geoms make it. No longer are you simply running for your life, but you're also trying to double back in order to collect multipliers. Evolved stands with Deadline as my favorite mode to just load up and play. It's recognizable and easy enough to get into that it continues to be a great distraction when I only have about 15 minutes to play games.
After Evolved, you'll be able to take on another one of the very addicting new modes - Pacifism. The mode grants you 1 life and challenges you to stay alive without shooting. Sounds hard, but that doesn't mean that you're not given the ability to destroy the blue zombie ships bearing down on you. Pacifism introduces the player to what I like to refer to as the "Wall of Death!" Basically, the wall can work for you or against you, as any GW2 player will find. Flying through the wall creates an explosion that destroys anything in the immediate vicinity, but if you hit the sides of the wall, you die. Sounds easy enough, but then you add in the fact that the walls can spin on top of each other and it becomes much more difficult. Even though it does sound a little on the boring side, Pacifism is quite possibly one of the most addicting modes in GW2. I expect this to be a favorite amongst those who love challenging the leaderboards.
Waves is the fifth mode available, and I will admit it's probably my least favorite. It features waves upon waves of straight moving orange ships overlapping one another - with other random ship types peppered in for variety. It starts out really easy with a few waves to take out, but as it continues you'll be bombarded from all sides with shapes bearing down on you. If you hesitate for one second you're going to die, if you don't pay attention to the other colored ships you're going to die, if you aren't in the exact spot you need to be in at a particular time you're going to die. It really does force you to be as accurate as possible and maybe that's why I can't quite get a good handle on it. I'm sure after a few more hours of practice I'll be able to muster up a decent score, but until then I'll sit at the bottom of my friend leaderboards getting laughed at.
Sequence is the sixth and final mode in GW2. It's a series of stages that pit you against certain ship types in which you have to defeat in under 30 seconds. Every level starts out slow and after about 5 seconds they unleash the actual amount of shapes on you. It's always a mixture of enemies that play off of one another and in order to survive you have to know what places are safe in the stage, how many waves of shapes you're going to face, and what you can use to defeat them all. The more you play Sequence, the better you're going to get at it. It's very similar to a memory game in that the levels never change so if you can master them, you'll be able to fully conquer Sequence. As of writing this I haven't been able to finish Sequence but I think if I sat down and gave it a couple of hours of my time, I'd be able to do it. While it's not the most addicting mode in GW2, people will play it non-stop in order to have it mastered.
Besides the six modes in Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2, there are a ton of aspects that will have people playing it any chance they can get. The leaderboards are by far the best implemented in any XBLA game to date. No matter where you are within the game, the scores of your friends are taunting you to get that much better. On the mode select screen you'll be shown the top performers from your friends list and with a click of a button you'll be able to see where you stand among the denizens of Xbox Live. Let this serve as a warning, even when you think you're doing awesome at GW2, the leaderboards will put you in your place. How do people get their scores that high anyways? Another great thing many people will love about GW2 is how the Achievements are implemented. There are several achievements scattered throughout the several modes that are not only great for gamerscore, but also essential in teaching you numerous advanced tactics. Fans of Achievements will have alot to love about Geometry Wars 2 being that they could potentially add another five to ten hours of game play to it.
Added onto the massive leaderboards and solid achievements is a feature that I sadly did not get to try. 4-player cooperative multiplayer. While I can't comment on how awesome it probably is, I can say that anyone I have talked to that has tried it seems to love it. I would have loved to see an online multiplayer component, but with a game that relies on split second reaction I can see why it wasn't included. I suppose I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for the inevitable Geometry Wars 3.
As you can probably tell, I really enjoyed the 20 hours I spent with Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2. It's one of those games that no matter how long you play it, you'll always come back and find something new to love about it. From the amazingly addictive game modes to the well constructed leaderboards, GW2 seems to do everything right. Whether you're a hardcore shooter fan that could spend 8 hours straight playing it, or a father of four looking for some quick 5 minute games, GW2 has what you're looking for. With it's $10 price tag, you can't go wrong downloading yourself a copy of Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
In mid-September, when the Colts shipped a first-round pick to the Browns in exchange for Trent Richardson, they were addressing an immediate need, as Vick Ballard had gone down with a season-ending knee injury. They also relished bringing in a player who just two years ago was the third overall pick in the NFL draft and had a running style the Colts saw as a perfect fit for them.
But his fumble against the Chiefs may have been Richardson's sophomore season in a nutshell. In 14 games with the Colts, he ran for just 458 yards. He had nearly as many fumbles (3) as touchdowns (4).
But from a technical standpoint, he was solid, never missing an assignment.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes (PlayStation 3)
Published by Developed by Released Official Site Also For |
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. ...
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes bridges the gap between season one and two of the animated TV series. In the game the player learns more about the mysterious bounty hunter Cad Bane and hunts down the all-new Skakoan super villain Kul Teska in a gameplay style very similar to Lego Star Wars.The game is fully built around drop in/drop out-coop for two players. This means each mission in this 3rd-person-action-adventure features two famous characters from the TV series including Obi-Wan Kenobi, the padawan Ahsoka and Captain Rex but separated by class. The players either control commandos or Jedi characters - never both mixed as they have totally different abilities and limitations. If no second player is available, the AI will automatically take over the second character and help overcome the many obstacles waiting ahead - mostly in form of several different kinds of separatist droids. While the players can use their lightsaber or blaster to fend them off, the Jedi characters also have the ability to ride the droids by jumping onto them from behind. This is not only useful to blast through enemy lines but is also used to solve specific riddles preventing the characters from moving on. In addition the droids can be forced to dance with every other droid on the screen following his lead making them defenseless. These dances are unique for each droid and need to be bought first in the shop. Also available there: funny masks and combat upgrades like stronger blasters or a more powerful force-push.
To buy these things, the players have to unlock them first and then need to invest points which are gained by killing enemies as well as by successfully completing missions or the mini-games. These mini-games are scattered around the levels and turn up once a specific section has been completed. They mostly involve killing as many enemies as possible in a short amount of time. Each kill in succession both during normal gameplay and the mini-games also ranks up the multiplier adding even more points to the account. Once a player dies, he will respawn at the nearest checkpoint either immediately if he plays alone or after the second player has reached one - both times without any penalties.

What is in this article?:
- Superconductor Process Promotes Higher Densities
- Strength In Layers
- Assessing The Difference
A leading superconductor circuit foundry has added to its fabrication capabilities.
Download this article in .PDF format This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. |
Cold temperatures can mean minimal signal losses with superconducting circuits. With digital superconductor specialist HYPRES, Inc., those circuits are now available from a new six-layer planarized process that offers a higher integration level of Josephson junction superconducting integrated circuits (ICs). The new fabrication process supports higher current densities on superconducting ICs for energy-efficient solutions in a wide range of applications, including for high-speed computers, advanced wireless communications systems, medical imaging systems, and test and measurement systems. HYPRES is extending the new process in support of its many high-performance standard solutions as well as for the most demanding custom requirements.

• Transceiver ICs Arm Backhaul Radios
• Radio IC Drives LTE Pico Cells
Oleg Mukhanov, Ph.D. is Chief Technology Officer at HYPRES. He is also the co-inventor of Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) logic, in which binary bits are encoded in the form of individual magnetic flux quanta. "This is an exciting milestone for HYPRES, its customers, and the superconductor electronics community," says Mukhanov. "Next-generation superconductor circuit development requires commercially available fabrication processes well beyond today's four metal layers and critical current densities. We have made six planarized layers—and soon, more—and various increased critical current densities available as part of our commercial foundry services. We made our first customer delivery earlier this year and have new orders in process."
Of course, HYPRES has already accomplished a great deal using as many as four layers of its existing niobium-based superconducting process—including the high-speed digital circuits that make the company attractive for so many different commercial, medical, and military applications. The firm has fabricated high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) capable of 100-dB spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) while operating at clock rates over 30 GHz, as well as a 20 GHz 8-b Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and multichip modules communicating at speeds past 50 Gb/s (Fig. 1).
1. HYPRES has already demonstrated a host of high-speed ADCs capable of 100-dB SFDR performance at clock rates over 30 GHz.
The additional layers, using the company's proven niobium on silicon 150-mm wafers and sub-1-μm minimum feature size, enable higher circuit density and increased functionality on a chip. Essentially, this makes possible greater circuit complexity in a vertical direction on the superconducting ICs.
These niobium-based superconducting circuits employ Josephson junctions rather than transistors as active devices. A Josephson junction consists of two superconducting metal layers separated by a weak link—usually some form of an insulator tunnel barrier. It was named after British physicist Brian Josephson (1973 Nobel Prize laureate), who predicted the mathematical relationships for the current and voltage across the weak link.
The junction enables direct conduction of electron pairs between the two superconducting layers. Among its other capabilities, a Josephson junction can act as a perfect voltage-to-frequency converter. It can support the flow of current through the junction without an applied voltage.
Already recognized for the design and fabrication of high-speed ICs—such as ADCs and digital signal processing (DSP) circuits for a variety of systems-level and instrumentation applications—HYPRES has used its existing four-niobium-layer fabrication capabilities to produce high-volume circuits, typically with six weeks' turnaround time. Circuit layouts are generally received at HYPRES in GDS II format for mask preparation, and digital and mixed-signal circuits with as many as 12,000 Josephson junctions have been fabricated with the four-layer process.
HYPRES analog ICs, such as commercial voltage standard circuits, are being produced with 23,000 Josephson junctions. The high-quality circuit fabrication is supported by Class-100 clean rooms and proprietary software simulation tools, in addition to the use of industry-standard software simulation tools.

There is no city like Lahore/ Everything that is wrong is set right here
It is a mystery as to how a layered city such as Lahore has attracted little scholarship in the past few decades. This is why Anna Suvorova's book "Lahore -Topohilia of Space and Place" is a major book of our times. Suvorova is a distinguished scholar and currently heads the Department of Asian Literatures at the Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences. Her earlier works on Urdu, Sufism and numerous translations of Urdu prose works are well known. This book, while a work of formidable scholarship is distinctive for its personal dimension. Like countless others, Suvorova is an ardent admirer of Lahore and tells us why Lahore has survived historical vicissitudes and also why its memory is so lovingly remembered, invoked and reproduced.
Lahore – Topohilia of Space and Place
Suvorova begins the book following the style of an oracle and explains why she chose to explore the topophilia, literally 'love for a place'. This apparently simple term, as we finish the first very chapter, becomes a kaleidoscope to view the boundless affection that many across the globe experience vis a vis Lahore. Suvorova is one of such Lahore-philes, if one can be excused for inventing such a term. Her fascination for Lahore, as it emerges in her book, is evident throughout the narrative as she takes the reader into the labyrinth of history, cultural memory, urban geography, and sociology of the city.
This affinity for an intriguing city therefore places Suvorova in a unique position as she documents Lahore's myriad facets, not as an orientalist outsider, but asan enchanted scholar and a traveller who has developed an uncanny empathy with the topophilia that defines Lahore as a construct of memory and consciousness. Thus follows an eclectic narrative employing an interdisciplinary approach, which successfully attempts to undo the academic tone while avoiding populist, market driven cliches that comprise many contemporary travel accounts. She describes this rather well: "When we visit Oslo, Dublin, Paris, or Lahore it is difficult, at first, to separate the living images of the new places from the "mental maps" that we have drawn up in the footsteps, and along the routes, of literary characters…It is topophilia that overcomes our eternal fear of space, and emotion dumbness and gives us a living feeling of longing to a place- the sense of city."
The book is divided into eight chapters, which tread on the various cultural nodes of Lahore's past and present. The epilogue entitled Lahore vs. Lucknow, is an outstanding inquiry on these two cities famed for their topophilia. Suvorova tells us how Lahore's topophilia is different from Lucknow. She is also quick to note the similarities between these two great cities, but she admits that she fell inlove with Lahore in 1997 during her first visit despite her intense familiarity with Lucknow.
