I hope that you planed to watch this show. Let your nerves be of steel because the best of the best are ready for the game. France team is amongst the most successful handball nations of the World, hat down to them. They won Spain at last Championship 2006. Apart from France and Spain, very strong teams come from Denmark and Croatia. So, dear rivals, beware of white-red Croatian team. We never sleep. :-)

14th Annual Ice Magic Festival will start next week at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Canada. Twelve teams of three carvers will try to transform 15 blocks of ice weighing 136 kg (300 lb) each, into two meters tall ice sculptures in three days. Theme of festival 2008 is Snow Queen, Ice Fairies and the Enchanted Forest. When you come back home maybe you will feel brave enough to try to do the same. First, practice on one big potato. Why I chose potato? I think that you will fight with ice for much too long and it will melt. Potato can persist more agony.

When you in Denver
Americas, Denver
JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek, Denver, a non-smoking hotel, has almost 200 rooms and suites in a style that blends modern design, lots of space and high-tech devices. It is recognized by Zagat as Best Hotel in Denver and by Conde Nast Travelers as one of the Top 100 Hotels in US. Hotel is located in the heart of Denver's prestigious Cherry Creek shopping and entertainment area. For me, it is little bit kitsch and the colors are matched following some strange principle. But, don't let my taste takes you away from this hotel. I will take a second look; maybe I'll find its spirit or something the people from Zagat and Conde Nast Travelers found. ■
