Roach Admits His Concern About One Man in Team Rios
By Dennis Principe
FREDDIE Roach is never known to have backed down both as a prized fighter mixing it up with the best during his time, and as a trainer trying to parry an opposing guru's rudeness.
While he has showed utmost respect to their upcoming opponent's trainer Robert Garcia during their Asian press tour, Roach feels the 2011 Trainer of the Year awardee is not the man to dread in terms of preparing Brandon Rios sharpen his boxing skills.
Roach believes that Garcia's father Eduardo could impart meaningful techniques to Rios once they slug it out with Manny Pacquiao on November 24 in Macau.
"I don't fear anyone but if I have to say who's got the most boxing knowledge in that camp, it's the father," Roach told this writer "His dad is a very knowledgeable boxing person. I respect him a lot. I'm sure he's helping his son watching tapes and come up with a better game plan."
The 70-year-old Garcia is a former amateur fighter who has compiled a record of 48-2. He is noted for guiding his sons Robert and Mikey to become world champions in the professional ranks.
The elder Garcia also trained former world kingpins Fernando Vargas, and Victor Ortiz.
"I've seen him with so many different fighters, every fighter is a different type of fighter and he changes well with fighters. He's more of a counterpunching teacher and most of his fighters are counterpunchers like both his sons were."
Roach said Mikey improved a lot when he decided to undergo training with his father.
"Mikey was kind of a raw, tough guy when he was with Robert then when he went to his dad he became a better boxer. I think the Dad is more of a technician than, maybe me. Because I'm a little bit more on the offensive side," said Roach.
While Roach has no idea if Eduardo is indeed or will be part of Team Rios for the Pacquiao fight, the many-time Philippine visitor is not taking chances when it comes to hiring sparmates.
"The father is the one who can actually change his game plan that's why I have boxers who does different punches. I try to think ahead of him and be ready for whatever he may bring," said Roach.

Part I
Understanding God's Plan of Universal Reconciliation for All
Most Christians believe in hell because they read verses in their Bibles that support the concept of everlasting punishment in a place called hell.
Does the Bible really teach everlasting punishment in hell for unbelievers? Has God truly condemned the overwhelming majority of humanity, those who die as unbelievers, to this hell? If Universal Reconciliation is the truth of the Bible, and it absolutely is, then one should not find a single statement in the whole of the Bible where it says that God will punish unbelievers forever. Yes, God does chastise unrepentant unbelievers, but not forever, because ultimately, in God's time and His order extending beyond this age, all unbelievers will be humbled in repentance and come to believe the true Gospel and know the true Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Nowhere in the Hebrew and Greek Manuscripts of the Bible does it say that God will punish unbelievers, or even Satan and his fallen angels, forever.
In the previous Chapter, we showed the true meanings of sheol, hades, tartarus and gehenna, which have been mistranslated to mean hell in versions of the Bible that support the doctrine of hell.
Mistranslations of Aion
2 Peter 2:17
The NKJV translation of aion in this scripture to mean forever is a serious mistranslation. A correct translation of this verse is given in Young's Literal Translation below.
2 Peter 2:17 (YLT)
The meaning of this verse is that all of these unbelieving false teachers, the 'wells without water', who walk in spiritual darkness will be kept under the thick gloom of darkness until they repent through God's judgement in the Lake of Fire. This is when 'the thick gloom of darkness' will be kept over them no longer, as fully discussed in Chapter 12, The Lake of Fire Judgement Age - Part 1.

The infidelity index: Cheating map of UK reveals Maidenhead to be Britain's most adulterous town
- Dating websites dedicated to matching people for affairs are becoming more and more popular
- One site puts 40% rise in recent subscriptions down to couples no longer being able to afford to divorce
- New interactive map of UK shows how many residents are having, or looking for, affairs in each town using the site
- Maidenhead tops the infidelity index, while people living in Bournemouth appear to be the most faithful
One of the richest towns in Britain also has the highest number of people having extramarital affairs, according to new research.
Wealthy Maidenhead tops a new UK Infidelity Index listing the towns where the highest percentage of the population are cheating on their partners.
The Berkshire borough has 1,316 people having or actively seeking affairs using dating website Illicit Encounters out of a population of 63,580, meaning that at least two per cent of the town is cheating.
In second place is Livingston in West Lothian, Scotland, with 1,080 cheats (1.91 per cent of the population) and Farnborough in Surrey comes third.
The most faithful town according to the site is Bournemouth in Dorset, probably due to high numbers of elderly residents who are more settled in their relationships.
Many of the towns with the highest numbers of cheats are wealthy areas in the south of England.
Maidenhead has more millionaires than any other town in England outside of London.
With an average house price of more than £450,00 and an idyllic riverside location, it is one of the most desirable places to live in the UK.
Dating site Illicit Encounters has over 880,000 registered users and the site has seen a 40 per cent surge in registrations in the last five years which it puts down to couples not being able to divorce due economic pressures and rising house prices.
With an average house price of more than £450,00 and an idyllic riverside location, Maidenhead is one of the most desirable places to live in the UK, but also one of the most unfaithful
Brazen Louise Van der Velde, 40, is a member of Illicit Encounters and regularly sees wealthy men on the site for dates and sex.
Louise, the widow of a doctor, does this with the full knowledge and agreement of her boyfriend, Mark Howard, 39, a fitness instructor.
Mother-of-two Louise said: 'I enjoy being in a relationship but I also crave the excitement of meeting new people.
'I have been on Illicit Encounters for around six months and during that time I have had affairs with five men.
Louise Van der Velde is a member of Illicit Encounters and sees men on the site with the full knowledge and agreement of her boyfriend, Mark Howard (right)
'They have mostly been rich
businessmen in the commuter belt around Surrey who are bored in their
marriages and are seeking sex, fun and a change in their daily routine.
They are fed up with sitting in silence in front of the TV with their
wives every night.
'They have no intention of leaving their wives and simply want to enjoy some uncomplicated fun with a woman they know isn't going to make any unexpected demands.
'The men and women who use the site have exactly the same motives – they want sex and change to their daily routine but don't want to upset things at home.'
Affairs are on the rise as many couples simply cannot afford to divorce due economic pressures and ever-increasing house prices
One of her lovers is a 48-year-old banker who has been on the site for five years and is married with two teenage children.
Louise said: 'He adores his wife but there is no sexual spark anymore and they have not made love for the last few years. Neither wants to divorce and they are loving parents to their children so he sees women very discreetly for sex without his wife's knowledge.'
Louise lives with Mark in Camberley, Surrey, where 616 people are having affairs through the site, according to the Infidelity Index.
She said: 'If you are looking to have an extramarital affair, the Surrey commuter belt is perfect.
'There are plenty of middle class people in the Acacia Avenues around here craving some added excitement in their lives.'
Mark said: 'I am fully aware of Louise's lifestyle and don't see anything wrong with it. We are completely honest with each other.
'The days when couples were happy to stay faithful to the same partner for 50 years or longer are over for many people.'
Amazingly Louise is a Harley Street-based relationship expert. She specialises in counselling couples on how they can enjoy life with more than one partner.
She added: 'Monogamy is out. I'm living a new model of relationship and it really works.'
A spokesman for Illicit Encounters said: 'Spiralling house prices have made divorce increasingly difficult for many couples. They are struggling along unhappily because they simply cannot afford to set up two homes.
'We are increasingly popular in rich commuter towns like Maidenhead which has some of the most expensive homes in the country.'

On my wife's 4-wheel carriage one front wheel is noticeably tighter than the other, On a car I'd clean & re-pack the bearing, turn the nut down to tight then back off to line up the castle nut with the hole & lock it in place with a cotter key.
FWIW the metal wheels on her carriage look like they are the same those on a techie wheel-chair, though the tire is thicker.
What's inside the hub? Same as an auto wheel? And do I bother or just leave it be?

For those of us in the states who celebrate the fourth, how was everyone's?
I went kayaking in San Diego with some friends, explored sea caves then paddled out at night to watch the fireworks. It was incredibly beautiful and peaceful out on the water at night. There are sea lions that are sooo cute! The only bad note was that one of my friends stepped on a sting ray. OUCH! :eek: Those can really hurt for all of you who have never had the pleasure.
For those not in the states, how was your weekend?
how was everyone's holiday?
For those of us in the states who celebrate the fourth, how was everyone's?
I had a great weekend. I went to Ohio to visit my BFF on her farm.
Child ment
The boys had a blast watching the fireworks and play with their ponies. I love being out in the country!
We had a great Canada Day! Figured you wouldn't mind if I added ours here too...! LO mentioned...
We took the boys to the park, they played lots, had BBQ family time & listened to the fireworks from bed--the boys conked out early and DF & I must be getting old!
June 30th was Noah's birthday, so it was already a bad week without him here. We had a balloon release for him and it went well though. My other boys seemed to enjoy the fireworks though. They were really excited as there still young.

open/close all folders
Films — Animation
- In The Princess and the Frog, after Tiana and Naveen have both been transformed into frogs and landed in the Louisiana swamp, Naveen explains why he has no money, even though he is a prince.
Naveen: My family cut me off for being a (sees leech attached to his elbow) LEECH!
- In The Road to El Dorado, Tulio decides to save time by walking through a pond. Cut to Miguel pulling leeches off his back.
- On The Banks of Plum Creek, book three in the Little House on the Prairie books. The local river has leeches in its calmer, muddier areas that will start nomming on you if you stay in there too long. At a party she's hosting, Laura gets even with her City Mouse rival Nellie by luring her and her friends into the river. The other girls are pleasantly grossed out by the leeches, but Nellie freaks out.
- There are leeches in the rivers that run through Nyissa, in David Eddings Belgariad. Not only are they fast, but their bite is venomous — once a person's been bitten, they're doomed even if they are pulled out of the water before the leeches have drained them.
- In the final novel of the Aubrey-Maturin series, Blue at the Mizzen, Stephen Maturin and Christine Wood fall into brackish West African mud. Afterward, each is covered with "astonishingly numerous and avid leeches." They use salt (brought by Christine for this purpose) to remove the leeches (while again this is something you should not do, their application of salt is justified on account of the state of medical knowledge in the early 19th century—they wouldn't have known any better).
- Much like in the below-mentioned film adaptation, this also happens in the Stephen King novella "The Body." The only major difference here is that the boys willingly chose to swim in the dammed-up pond, so they stripped naked beforehand. This means that we get to find out exactly where that last leech attached itself to Gordie, and how long it had been there.
- Jurassic Park: Ed Regis ends up with leeches on him when he falls into the moat at the Tyrannosaur paddock. Before he tears them all off, the reader is treated to him remembering that the maintenance staff said that they liked damp, warm places and "liked to crawl right up your-", at which point Regis snaps out of his shock, rips the leeches off, and legs it.
- Up to Eleven in A Series of Unfortunate Events, where the leeches of Lake Lachrymose are carnivorous and will hunt down anyone who goes swimming less than an hour after eating.
Films — Live Action
- In Stand by Me, a brawl between two characters sends them both tumbling into a pond. Later in the same scene, the brawl comes to a screeching halt when the one character spots a leech on the neck of the other. Cue panicking, screaming, stripping off of clothes, ripping off of leeches... and Gordie finding a leech in the worst possible place. His reaction is understandable.
- In The African Queen, Charlie gets several leeches on him when he underwater repairing the ship. The movie subverts the typical trend of just tearing them off by having him be smart enough to force them to let go with salt.
- Note that salting a leech is a bad idea with disgusting and harmful consequences. See above.
- In The Amazing Panda Adventure, the male and female leads both end up covered in leeches after tumbling into water, leading them to start stripping off their clothes hastily. A moment passes, then they both realize the other one is getting naked too...
- Happens to James Bond in Octopussy, among several other animal encounters. He uses a cigarette lighter to make it let go.
- Congo. With the leech attached to his groin.
- The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Steve: Swamp leeches! Everybody, Check for Swamp leeches and pull them off! (Beat) Nobody else got hit, I'm the only one? What's the deal?
- After Earth: Kitai manages to be bitten by a mutant leech as he rushes across a river. Said leech is also heavily poisonous.
Tabletop Games
- In a short story in Dragon magazine #123 illustrating the magazine's topic of swamp environmental hazards, a man hires a guide through the swamp and notes oddities about the guide from eating raw onions and rubbing them on his arms to the series of triangular scars along his arms. When he attempts to kill the guide, he finds himself suddenly weak whereupon the guide explains the ecology of leeches and how to ward them off, such as by rubbing one's skin with onions.
Video Games
- In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, pretty much any time you enter water, leeches attach themselves to you. The sound of them attaching themselves to you can be hard to hear, so you might not notice until they start quickly draining your stamina. Luckily, using Snake's cigar to burn them off is easy and effective.
- In the oceans of Half-Life 2, alien piranha-leeches will jump at you in swarms if you go out too far. Be thankful; the original creature that had to job of stopping players from going out to sea was going to be an Ichthyosaur ...
- Present in Un Epic in underground reservoir levels, as a life-sucking items that stack up in your inventory until you kill them manually. The game doesn't mention them, apart from constantly visually decreasing HP, leading to some characters' deaths. Later replaced with vampire bats.
- Subverted in The Sims Medieval. The Physician is supposed to catch leeches to aid in healing, and sticks his hand into the water to do this. It's possible to fail to catch them. And if a Sim actually falls into water (the outcome of failing miserably at fishing) the leeches don't get them.
- Freefall: When washing in a jury-rigged outdoor shower, Florence finds out she's missing a step in the process. "The correct order is 'lather, rinse, remove leeches, repeat.'"
Western Animation
- In the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "The Swamp," all the heroes fall into a swamp. As they get up, Katara comments to Sokka that he has "an elbow leech." Cue expression of disgust when Sokka discovers the enormous slimy parasite on his elbow.
- In an episode of Sam & Max: Freelance Police, Sam and Max are forced to wade through a stream in the middle of an overgrown Central Park. When Max exits, he's covered in leeches...which promptly scream in pain and jump right back off.

I also think that 'Mr Burns' would be the rightful winner, but I will nevertheless post my little 'Tolkien history', just for fun and for old time's sake.
I am now 19 years old (actually my 19th birthday is tomorrow!) , and I first got in touch with Tolkien via my grandparents who had a little bookshop. I was 12 years old when I received the Dutch version of The Two Towers from them (a film tie-in) a few weeks before Christmas. They knew I was a fan of The Lord of the Rings, although I had not yet seen the films... I had a sticker book of The Fellowship of the Ring with pictures from the film (also a gift from them) but that was all I had ever seen of the films.
A few weeks later, I received The Return of the King (also a dutch film tie-in) for Christmas. Over the next year, I did see the films and was completely fascinated by the world of Middle-earth, its heroes, its villains, its creatures, its buildings, its nature, the whole lot in fact.
Then I began to flip through the pages of The Two Towers and started to 'read' the chapter The Forbidden Pool but I didn't manage to read more than the first two pages of the chapter.
At the end of this year, I finally bought the Dutch The Fellowship of the Ring. I could finally start, or so I thought. It wasn't until another year had passed, and I was about 14-15 years, that I really started to read The Lord of the Rings! The first time I read it, I thought the First Book was quite dull, but the rest was really 'supercool'. I was for the second (but not for the last!) time fascinated, even more than I was by the films!
I then bought The Hobbit (an old Dutch paperback edition I found in some second hand bookshop) and read it too. I thought it very good, but I liked The Lord of the Rings more, so I read the latter again. And then, my eyes really opened: I found the First Book not so bad after all, in fact, it was one of the parts of the book, that were really easy to get my imagination work, withouth being disturbed by images from the films. Later on, I managed to read almost the whole book without any film image popping up in front of my eyes. That was soooooooo coooool!!
I then bought The Silmarillion and Tolkien's Fairy Tales, and then, I sold my soul to dear Ronald. What a Great Tale was The Silmarillion! Of course I faced some difficulties in reading it (the first time, I only read a part of Ainulindalë, I let it rest for some time, and then I started again and managed to read through the whole book, and then read it again, and then I finally 'got it'.)
Also the Fairy Tales are so Great, they were (and are still!) so beautiful, especially Leaf by Niggle and The Smith of Wootton Major.
If I would have to choose what my favourite work by JRR Tolkien is, I can say, without any doubt, that I have no idea. They are all just so wonderful, that if you think this one is your favourite work, you start thinking about that other work and realize you just can't make the decision.
And so I started collecting! I have now more than 100 books by, on or with contributions by Tolkien, some old ones, some new ones, some commons, some rares (Ancrene Wisse (1962) in mint condition, alas without dj; Essais de philologie moderne (contains Middle English Losenger);...). A great find, that really set me off collecting about three years ago was a first edition of Sir Gawain and The Green Knight. It's spine was in poor condition, but nevertheless I was really proud of my first old, rare Tolkien book.
I also have some calendars, some LPs and some other miscellanea.
I wrote some articles for a Dutch Tolkien forum, and won a contest with one of them (it was about Valinor) and that article will probably be published in Lothelanor, the journal of the Flemish Tolkien Society Elanor.
I also did my end work for English at high school completely about Tolkien (I named it "Wanderings in Middle-earth, essays on Tolkien and his works") , and almost got the highest marks possible! (I did put a lot of effort into it, because it was of course a subject that interested me greatly )
But now I'm at university studying Dutch and English Philology - I even based my studies a bit on Tolkien! He arose my interest in Old and Middle English and Dutch - , I have a lot less time to dedicate to one of my main hobbies...
And that's my story!
PS: I really liked reading the other stories! Very nice concept for a contest!

Beren on tolkienlibrary.com
Many collectors are waiting for the release of the hardback History of Middle-earth series. Originally the books were planned to be released on 4 March 2010, but this has been delayed. The republication of the History of Middle-earth series is now planned to coincide with the relaunch of the Tolkien website, www.tolkien.co.uk. So, the books will be available from 7 April. Also the publication of the limited edition poster of Oliphaunt will be delayed to the 7th of April. We can except interviews and other special features on this new site.
Yet another redesign for the woeful www.tolkien.co.uk, the site has a cycle of redesigns then gets completely ignored by HarperCollins until the next redesign. I think that they are better off selling through Amazon and posting interviews and articles on tolkienlibrary.com.

A little bit of my gaming past, pt 1
A little bit of my gaming past, pt 1
Jul 11, 2004 12:30AM PST
First of all: I've been gaming for going on 12 years. I know I may be just 15, but I first picked up a controller at age 3. My brother had a NES, and the first game I ever played was Super Mario Brothers 3. It was the greatest thing I had ever felt. I just couldn't stop. It was pure bliss. As I grew older, my tastes changed. I grew out of the adventure genre completly. And the game that did it to me was NFL '95 for the Sega Genesis. I had always wanted to play football, but after a bad leg injury, I knew that would never become a reality. So I did the next best thing: I played virtual football. The game was so fun...I couldn't put down the controller. Everything else was secondary. Breathing, living, going to the bathroom (God bless the man who invented diapers..lol)...

Full, bright ruby-red. Porty yet high-pitched aromas of blackberry, kirsch, blueberry and violet are complicated by balsamic and black olive nuances. Dense, thick and superripe but still with noteworthy clarity to its dark fruit and fresh fig flavors. A nutty oak element is leavened by insinuating acidity. Ultimately displays a very attractive sugar/acid balance and finishes with good lift.

Alberta and Ontario struck early blows at the u18 Canada Cup in Vancouver to both move to 1-0 as the tournament got underway Monday at Hugo Ray Park in West Vancouver.
On Hugo Ray 1, Alberta sucessfully chased down 183 runs set by the hosts made on the back of a century (104) from Avneet Virdi. Virdi's innings helped BC recover from 21-5 to get to a fighting score. Wardaan Ul Haq (4-25). Alberta got off to the chase in good nick as Ishant Sharma (65) and Parin Modi (39) put on 85 runs for the first wicket. Virdi (2-41) continued his good day but it was not enough as the visitors got over the line in the 46th over.
In the second match of the day, Ontario got contributions from all their batsmen including 51 from Siddant Sherar to pace them to 252-6 from 50 overs. Rakesh Ramoutar 3-53 was the pick of the bowlers. In reply, the rest of Canada team had no reply for Kunal Bhatt (5-17) as they were bundled out for 92.
Tuesday's games see Alberta take on Ontario while BC takes on the Rest of Canada.

Previewing new books in 2013, via The Millions
Once again, The Millions, an online literary magazine, has brightened up early January with a giant preview of books due to be published this year. Millions contributors are offering thumbnail previews of 79 books due out this year.
Caveat lector: Despite The Millions' cheeky claim that this lovely list "is the only 2013 book preview you will ever need," it consists mostly of quality literary fiction, with only a few nonfiction and genre writing titles included. So, for example, you won't see anything about new books this year from Ian Tregillia, Charlaine Harris and Elizabeth Bear. »Read Full Blog Post(5)
Skylight finds power of human spirit in 'El Cimarron'
Esteban Montejo, a onetime Cuban slave who lived to be 113, loved trees and the forests that held them. It's therefore no accident that Lisa Schlenker's scenic design for the just-opened Skylight Music Theatre production of "El Cimarrón" — Hans Werner Henze's musical adaptation of Montejo's remarkable autobiography — revolves around a massive tree.
Trees, Montejo continually suggests, are not just alive. They're also analogous to people, with their shadows expressly linked in his autobiography to human spirits. »Read Full Article

The same woman was involved in an accident that killed a young woman in 2005. Washington State Troopers said Savanna Brown caused a collision Wednesday near the town of Plaza, Washington which is about 30-minutes from Spokane.
Investigators said Brown crossed the center line and collided with an oncoming car. Two of the three people involved, including Brown, were injured and taken to a hospital.
"Well you just need to be aware and be ready to encounter one of these drivers," said WSP Trooper Jeff Sevigney. "We do our best to not have them on the roadways but as you can see these collisions do continue to occur."
In 2005, Brown was accused of vehicular manslaughter after a fatal roll-over collision. Nichole Wilson, 17, of Clarkston died in the crash.
Brown was charged with driving under the influence, however a jury found her innocent. All three minors were drinking at the time of the crash nine years ago.

Every so often, whole populations appear to suspend their powers of judgment and swamp themselves in emotion. It was impossible, for example, to say at the time that the Beatles were mediocre musicians and rather childish in their opinions, or that the late Princess Diana was a seriously troubled young woman causing havoc around her. Senator Barack Obama is similarly whipping up European levels of irrationality. What a phenomenon his tour of the main continental capitals has been! As my friend Josef Joffe, the editor of the German newspaper Die Zeit and a highly rational man, put it, "He's being celebrated like a victorious Roman general who comes back from the conquest of Gaul or something."
200,000 people gathered in the open air in Berlin to listen to him. They applauded, they cheered, especially when he told them that America was less than perfect, and had failed to live up to its ideals – a fault that Change We Can Believe In would instantly remedy. Only some 25 years ago, crowds like this had assembled and marched in protest against the stationing in Germany of Cruise missiles to protect the country against the Soviet Union.
In Paris, President Nicolas Sarkozy fawned over him. They'd met before, he said, and "One of us became president, the other just has to do the same thing." He was virtually endorsing him. It was the same in London, where Prime Minister Brown and leader of the opposition David Cameron fought for time and photo-ops. Tony Blair flew in from the Middle East, to resolve its disputes over a breakfast publicized with special smarminess.
Now the BBC correspondent in Washington is someone called Matt Frei. His hall-mark has long been a high-minded contempt for all things American. They brought him over for Obama's trip, and his reports and body-language suddenly pointed the way to a rational explanation for the flood-tide of emotion. All this Obama mania is only the flip side of anti-Americanism. They're all hoping for a president who will dismantle everything the United States stands for, and so prove them to be the intellectual and moral superiors they think they are. That may be what Jo Joffe meant when he tagged that enigmatic "or something" on to the end of his great remark.

Did you any benchmarks on other JS engines?
No. My main concern was to check if there was any startup overhead that might offset the basic efficiency improvements for processing small collections. Using into with a transducer turned out to be faster in every scenario, significantly in most.
It would be nice to see a jsperf of before and after on this ticket. Thanks.
Is there a existing one that I can work from?
There is not. I generally just make a simple project, create an advanced compiled artifact and copy and paste it into jsperf.
Turns out reducing into a transient is considerably better than using a transducer (which was itself a little faster) for this.

Historical Traveler Reviews Elysee Hotel London
Kleine saubere Zimmer
K�rzlich verbrachten wir hier vier N�chte. Die Zimmer sind sehr eng und das Hotel m�sste renoviert werden. Allerdings sind die Zimmer sauber. Leider gibt es keine Klimaanlage, wodurch die Luft stickig ist. Das Fr�hst�ck und gut und zul�nglich, k�nnte jedoch frischer sein. Die Lage ist sehr gut in der N�he vom Hyde Park und der Paddington Station. Bemerken m�chte ich, dass die nahe gelegene U-Bahn Station Lancaster Gate z.Zt zwecks Renovierung geschlossen ist. London ist kein billiges Ziel. Es ist schwierig ein gutes aber preisg�nstiges Hotel zu finden.
Too HOT in the Summer!
We booked this hotel on a last-minute booking website. The room rate was 80 pounds a night and the hotel was a disappointment. There was no parking available for less than 22 pounds a day. Also, the nearest working tube station was many blocks away, not just two minutes away as the web site stated. The rooms were fairly clean, but the sheets were a bit scarey....pink stains and holes in them! Also, there was no soap provided for the sink or shower. And, no drain plug for the bath or sink (the chains were there, but the stoppers were gone).
Although the staff was friendly enough, the service was actually quite poor: when we asked if they had any wash cloths available, they said yes and that they would bring one right up. No one ever arrived and they never mentioned it.
Since there was no clock or alarm in the room, we asked for a wake up call. The phone finally rang over an hour after the time we requested!
The biggest problem was the temperature in the room. July is a warm month in London, and the first floor rooms at this un-airconditioned hotel get NO breeze at all. And, since the hotel is directly across from a popular pub, we lay in the heat (on the stained, torn sheets) waiting for the loud pub guests to make their way home each night around 2am.
Overall, although the location is fairly convenient, we would not stay here again unless it is in the winter and we can't find another room elsewhere. It's worth 10 or 20 pounds more for a more enjoyable hotel.
Small Clean Rooms
We recently stayed for 4 nights. The rooms are very small and the hotel is in need of some updates and refurbishment. The rooms are clean however. Note: the rooms do not have AC and tend to get a little stuffy. The breakfast is good and adequate but gets a little old after a few days. The location is great, close to Hyde Park and Paddington Station. Note however that the nearest Underground Station, Lancaster Gate, is now closed for renovations. London is not a cheap destination. You will be hard pressed to find a good hotel value.
Terrible triple room
we spent 12 nites in Europe last month, and the 8th night (1st in London) at this hotel was the most disappointed! The Hotel lobby and breakfast was nice but our room (triple) was like hell, the room was so small even for 1 people ...my bed was set in front of the bathroom ...and the bathroom, i'd never seen any bathroom is such a discomfort bathroom like this before...very very tiny! no place to hang the towel ..and worst of the worst ...the waterwork...they provided only hot and hot water ..we couldn't stand this discomfort and change the hotel as soon as we can....
Great Location for Women Travelling Alone
My friend highly recommended this hotel to me and I couldn't complain about the rate given the location in central London.
However, the room met my bare minimum and I've stayed in hostels in China. I had a private bath (converted from a small closet!) with a towel, it was very clean, it had a hot water kettle and tv. The room itself was quite small with thin walls and curtains. The staff were kind and the free breakfast was decent.
The location is what makes this place a good find. It is quite close to Hyde Park and the underground. The neighborhood is very very very safe, despite the large number of tourists walking about. I'd recommend this place to anyone who is willing to sacrifice some comfort for security/price. But I have the believe there are better places to stay in London at that rate.
A good place to stay
We booked a double room ensuite and we spent there four nights.
The room was very small and not so nice but it was very very clean.
The bathroom had a shower and a water closet inside and a sink was outside in the room.
The breakfast was good and rich: milk, cereals, orange juice, cofee, tea, bread, butter, marmelade...and one egg!!
The staff was very friendly and the reception was opened 24 hours.
The hotel is closed to Lancaster Gate underground station (central line) and it's about 500 metres from Paddington Station; further, Hyde Park is about fifty metres far.
This is not the best hotel you can find in London but if you are looking for a cheap and good solution at the same time, it's OK.
Have a nice trip!!
Good value
The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Our room (we asked for a double but actually got an en-suite with a double and two single beds) was tatty. The TV control didn't work (no great loss) and the room needing painting. Nevertheless, it was clean, the beds were comfortable and it was quiet! In the heart of London! Great location for Paddington station and the Heathrow express and Hyde Park. Breakfast was cereal, fruit juice, toast, eggs, jam and marmalade and tea or coffee. We are definitely going back. �49 per room per night, including breakfast.
Loved the hotel and local area
Stayed at the Elysee for four nights. It is a very good hotel for the price charged and the surrounding area was excellent (Hyde Park, Bayswater, Paddington, Marble Arch and Oxford Street all withing walking distance). The service was excellent and rooms were very satisfactory for the price. They are in th process of building a residence bar which is great idea. There is also Wifi internet available free of charge and thats great.
Accomodation was again excellent for the price. Breakfast was continental with boiled egg as a bonus.
I would stay there again.
Excellent value central london accomodation!
Great location facing Hyde park and the catchment had a village feel to it: a pub, news/travel agent, cafe, etc. Three underground stations within a few minutes walk. We paid �59 for a double ensuite room( somewhat small bathrooms): clean and comfortable with basic amenities such as tea coffee facilities, satelite tv, hairdryer.basic continental breakfast with boiled egg.
For the price we believe to be unbeatable value!
Affordable place to sleep
The Elysee provides basic no frills accomodations.
Staff were friendly (but then I had no problems or issues).
The room was very small (paid 55GBP in Dec). The room was a bit dated but things were clean. The bedding was rather thin and worn. The bathroom was very small and there was not a lot of water pressure. The kettle worked fine as did the tv and phone. The maid cleaned the room daily and changed towels.
Breakfast consisted of toast, juice, milk, cereal and a hard boiled egg. All very satisfactory.
When I travel to London I look for a clean place to sleep. I leave my room before 8 am and come back after 11 pm.
There is a nice Victorianesque pub across the street - the Mitre. A fair number of locals fill up the place. The food was okay. It was a nice place to stop in for a night cap. There is a laundry on the same street. There is also a take away that was very popular with the cops in the morning (I never stopped in as I took advantage of my free breakfast) and the police always know a good value.
The room fits the bill for the economy minded.
I have stayed there twice.

SeaWolves opener postponed because of rain
ALTOONA -- Warwick Saupold has to wait one extra day to make his first Opening Day start.
The Australian right-hander put the rainout behind him and went through a normal off-day routine Thursday night.
"Doesn't really affect me," Saupold said. "Obviously, you get to the field and you are ready to go, but unfortunately mother nature has other ideas. I'll be ready to go (today). It is a little disappointing because you come to the park and want to get a win to start the season off, but we'll adjust our approach and get ready for the next one."
The Erie SeaWolves season-opening game Thursday night in Altoona was postponed around 4:45 p.m. after heavy rains hit Peoples Natural Gas Field. With rain in the forecast throughout the rest of the night, Altoona officials called the game early and will go through the fanfare of Opening Day tonight at 6:30.
There is no word when the game will be made up, but it could be as early as Saturday. Erie returns to Altoona July 7-10, a four-game series at night during the week, and July 28-30, which is also during the week.
- Before the game was postponed, first-year manager Lance Parrish put out his first lineup. He had veteran outfielder Jamie Johnson leading off in front of prospect Devon Travis at second base. Another big prospect, Eugenio Suarez, was playing short and hitting third before the power part of the lineup in Aaron Westlake (first base), Steven Moya (right field), Wade Gaynor (left field) and Dean Green (designated hitter). Catcher Ramon Cabrera and third baseman Francisco Martinez rounded out the lineup.
- Former Erie SeaWolves outfielder Tyler Collins made the Detroit Tigers out of spring training and is off to a solid start. He scored the game-winning run on Monday as a pinch-runner in a 4-3 win over Kansas City.
Collins ran for catcher Alex Avila, who drew a one-out walk. He went first to third on a Nick Castellanos base hit and scored on an Alex Gonzalez base hit to left field. Castellanos is another former Erie SeaWolves rookie with Detroit.
Collins then made his first Major League start on Wednesday and made a diving catch in left field. Collins also finished 0-for-4 at the plate.

Jet Instability - Moving Mesh
Application ID: 4650
The Marangoni effect results in a slip velocity in the tangential direction on a fluid/fluid interface due to gradients in the surface tension coefficient. When the surface tension coefficient is constant, a two-fluid system may exist in static equilibrium. This is because the surface tension force may be exactly balanced by a jump in the pressure across the interface. The pressure is discontinuous across the interface, but the velocity field is zero everywhere. The presence of a gradient in the surface tension coefficient means that the flow must be non-stationary. This is due to the fact that any force arising from the variability of the surface tension coefficient acts only in the tangential direction on the interface. This must be balanced by viscous forces which are only present in a moving fluid. In this example, an initially stationary, infinitely long liquid jet breaks up due to a spatially varying surface tension coefficient.
This application was built using the following:Microfluidics Module

Its the perfect way to show our beautiful daughter off to all of our family and friends at the party, not to mention we put her name, school, date of grad ceremony and class of 2013 on it. Love it!

"After a marathon drive across Spain it was with relief that we arrived at the hotel. It is ideally situated about 12k from the port. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the hotel was for the price. Our room was spotlessly clean with everything you would need for a mini break."

Posted by Elliot James on Jul 14, 2016 in New at Scoreland, newcomers
Wednesday, we posted new Demmy Blaze. Today, new Katie Thornton. We all need a mid-week energy boost, and those two girls are here to pump you up.
"When I see Demmy, I can't help but think of Tera Cox," wrote M.V. I don't see the comparison (Tera was a great newcomer in 2007 and didn't model much before leaving), but long-timer M.V. is entitled to his opinion after all these years.
"The best compliment I've ever heard was that I look like Drew Barrymore," Katie said. Me, I can't think of one hot shot Hollywood actress who can come close to Katie. She's much better and a lot hotter looking than Barrymore. Call me Mr. Shallow.
Ladies room peeper checks out girl-next-door Kate Marie at SCORELAND
Posted by Elliot James on Jun 5, 2016 in New at Scoreland
With all of the arguing about restroom usage in the US, we'd like to throw in our two cents and state for the record that Kate Marie, and all of the TSG models, can use the men's room anytime they please.
However, the models already have their own bathroom in their swanky dressing room. But we're just throwing it out there.
Our drone with a built-in camera did follow Katie Marie into the ladies room where it played peeping-drone.
Sadly, Kate Marie made its circuits overload and it went down but we did salvage the memory card.
We don't often follow girls into the rest room but when the girl is Kate Marie, we're there.
Ellie Roe: Big-boobed beauty in Britain busts into the spotlight
Posted by Elliot James on Sep 16, 2015 in modeling jobs, New at Scoreland, newcomers, Other SCORE Group websites, print magazines, XLGirls
Ellie Roe is a popular English model, better known in the United Kingdom than in North America.
Hopefully, her shoots with The SCORE Group, which can be seen now at XLGirls.com, will change that.
A friend of SCORE Girl Charley Green (from the DVD Leanne's Stacked Summer), Ellie said she was a D-cupper at 13. She sports a 36F-cup bra now.
Ellie loves watching wrestling and watches World Wrestling Entertainment events.
She has a lot of special talents, so we asked Ellie what special-special talents she has.
"That involve my big boobs? I can lick both of my nipples at the same time. Does that count?" We'd call that a special-special talent. Many busty girls can't do it.
Big bouncing breasts from the front, big bulging butt from the back: Daylene Rio's got both boobs and booty at SCORELAND
Posted by Elliot James on Sep 10, 2015 in Hardcore XXX, Letters and comments, Life With Big Tits, Men's Products, New at Scoreland, Tits in Tight Tops
"Ooops! My ass is so big, I just ripped my skirt!" says Daylene Rio as soon as she sits down next to Tony. She's split a seam. Daylene stands up and leans forward. Tony makes the hole bigger by ripping it even more.
Daylene says her ass, not her boobs, is her best feature. I think everything about Daylene is her best feature. I can't choose just one.
With a rack that makes men hyperventilate, Daylene (XXXTreme Daylene on DVD) can pretty much own any guy she sets her sights on. She's just got it like that.
"In the dictionary, the word sexy should have a picture of Daylene Rio as an example," writes a member who calls himself DB4BBW.
Daylene still looks at her photos and videos with a fresh eye, even though she's been a SCORE Girl since 2007. "It's like you can't believe it's you. It's like, 'Wow, is that really me?' and it just gets me more pumped up to want to do it more, and I get a whole rush once I see myself, knowing that people are at home watching me and jerking off. It's a different feeling to see myself in the video compared to what I remember when I was actually shooting the scene."
Jenna meets Liza at SCORELAND in a momentously mamorable power breastfest
Posted by Elliot James on Nov 12, 2014 in Behind the Scenes, Boob Watch, Boobs in the News, breast growth, Deep Inside Scoreland, Life With Big Tits, modeling jobs, New at Scoreland, newcomers, Tit Tricks
It's always a special day when SCORELAND models cross paths and mash mams in our studio.
Tomorrow's video and photos are documents of a sensational crossing of the paths. You will witness Jenna Valentine, modeling at SCORE since 2009, meet Liza Biggs, a brand-new superwoman who had never modeled before. You saw a sneak preview of this on the Blog. A fresh set and video of Jenna Valentine is also on tomorrow's quadruple-feature.
Can you guess where Sarah Rae's JJ-cup tits are going next?
Posted by Dave on Mar 9, 2014 in Behind the Scenes, Cummin Soon, Life With Big Tits, Other SCORE Group websites, The Life of an Editor, Tit Tricks
Into her mouth, of course. First one, then the other, then both at the same time…hands-free.
When Sarah Rae first visited our studio, she could self-suck both of her giant boobs (they're JJ-cups) but not hands-free. I challenged her to accomplish that feat. And last August, she accomplished it. But that was back home. In her house. She had the home-court advantage. She had never double self-sucked in our studio.
So, when she returned to our studio, I challenged her to do the hands-free double-suck on-camera. I manned the video camera. I watched. And she came through! I knew she would.
The video of this accomplishment goes live tomorrow at XLGirls.com. Proof that all Mondays aren't bad. There are also photos.
Sarah Rae, I'm proud of you. I've never been so proud of someone I jack to.
Sarah Rae wants to comment also.
"I want to take the time out and thank everyone for liking me and my pictures. It really means a lot to me that you guys take the time out to jack off to me, leave me comments and rate my sets. I really do appreciate it. Getting naked at the SCORE studio is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life and flashing you guys my titties has changed my life for the better. This has been such a positive experience for me! I am so stoked that this was my third time back and hope for many more, 'titties crossed'!"

Get yer motor running with Scarlet LaVey at SCORELAND
Posted by Elliot James on Sep 20, 2013 in Behind the Scenes, Confessions, Interviews, New at Scoreland, newcomers
I can easily see the photos from tomorrow's Scarlet LaVey pictorial at SCORELAND pinned-up on the walls of every bike shop in the USA and beyond.
Riding off to hot adventures with a crotch rocket firing between her legs? Scarlet looks game for that.
If you haven't seen it, check out Scarlet's special confessional video, "Tattoo Exploration."
What's behind her love of tats and what draws her into the world of illustrated people? What body parts does Scarlet say she'll never tattoo? These questions and many more are answered.
Back to school for Roxanne Miller!
Posted by Elliot James on Sep 17, 2013 in Deep Inside Scoreland, New at Scoreland, Tits in Tight Tops
Well, it's that time of year. Time for good girls to put away their bikinis and booty shorts and get back to campus for another semester of universi-titty.
Time for Roxanne Miller to go back to school, where her classmates and professors eagerly await her. They've been jacking to this thought all summer.
We can't expect a girl as built as Roxanne to walk to class wearing saggy tops and baggy jeans. Fortunately, Roxanne knows how to dress her curves and her bumps for maximum male enhancement. Higher education doesn't mean big-boobed beauties have to wear a potato sack and hunch over.
There is a direct correlation between smart girls and tight, cleavage-revealing tops. Roxanne proves this theory at SCORELAND. Click on the clip!

Kell Brook-Alvaro Robles Clash Set For March 15th
Tony Bellew is under no illusions as to the task ahead of him as he prepares to make his bow at Cruiserweight when he takes on Valery Brudov at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on March 15, live on Sky Sports.
'The Bomber' moves up in weight on the back of a sixth-round stoppage defeat to Adonis Stevenson for the WBC Light Heavyweight title in November, and now wants to work his way to a World title shot at a weight he had been considering fighting at for some time.
"I am ranked number seven with the WBC at Cruiserweight already," said Bellew. "I am coming into an exciting division with established World champions and I am hoping to make my mark in this division. My two goals in boxing are to earn a living for me and my kids, and to become a World champion.
"I will go in with Valery Brudov, who has had 45 fights and 41 wins, 28 by knockout – he has had more knockouts than I have had fights. He has a good record, he is a good fighter, and this is a dangerous fight, make no mistake. But if I am going to be anything in the Cruiserweight division I have to beat this guy and look good beating him. It is a test, and it should let me and everybody else know where I am in the Cruiserweight division.
"This is a new chapter, a new beginning for me. It is up to me to pick up the pieces, work hard, and get to where I was at Light Heavyweight as a Cruiserweight.
"I have always thought about fighting at Cruiserweight but I had always had the attitude that if it isn't broken, don't fix it.
"I have to earn my shot now, the way I did at Light Heavyweight. I have to show I am a top Cruiserweight and an A-level fighter. I believe I am but there is no point me saying that, it is better for me to get in there and prove that.
"There are great World champions at this weight. They are world-class fighters, proven fighters and there are no easy touches there. The division is really good."
Bellew's bout with Brudov tops a great night of boxing in Liverpool, with Commonwealth Super Middleweight champion Rocky Fielding defending his title against former Commonwealth champion Charles Adamu. Fielding is on a collision course with British champion Paul Smith who fights on the bill, but his brother Stephen is out and will undergo minor surgery on an elbow injury this week.
Sheffield Welterweight star Kell Brook faces Mexican Welterweight champion Alvaro Robles in a ten-round bout as he prepares for a World title clash with Shawn Porter, and London Lightweight Kevin Mitchell will also be in action on Merseyside as he builds towards a big fight in the summer.
Exciting youngster Robbie Davies Jnr faces his fifth pro fight and Liverpool's Neil Perkins continues his hunt for a first title shot against Londoner Erick Ochieng.
Tickets are on sale now priced £30, £40, £60 and ringside seats at £100 available from the Echo Arena on 0844 8000 400 and at www.echoarena.com
Another quality Kell Brook opponent. :lol1:Comment by springfiels on 03-06-2014
[QUOTE=Dirk Diggler UK;14297750]Well Porter hadn't exactly fought anyone prior to Alexander. His best win was Julio Diaz who arguably beat him in the first fight. It's not like Porter is some seasoned, long reigning champion. He's the kind of step…Comment by Dirk Diggler UK on 03-06-2014
[QUOTE=springfiels;14297747]The people on here saying about him having a guaranteed title shot next fight are right, and a keep busy fight is no bad thing. The thing is tho, Brook has fought absolutely no one worth mentioning in 30+ fights...…Comment by springfiels on 03-06-2014

The end is nigh as banks roll out their fiendish plan – the cashless bar
Published 26/08/2013 | 17:00
IT STARTED off in York. Armageddon, that is. This week, at the Ebor race meeting, I was there. In York. Working. In a free bar with lobsters where I had to write about Frankel the super horse. Beats breaking stones. Had I known, though, that the world was about to end in this place I would have marched about bearing a placard reading "the end is nigh".
Every now and then when newspapers are stuck for copy, up comes the old "end of the world" story. Some lunatic will sell his house, tell the boss where to stick his job and inform the wife he still loves her but he's leaving. Nostradamus blows the money on a big holiday and waits on the due date for a meteor strike like the one that killed the dinosaurs.
But the York story is real. Cash is gone since York. Touching money, like fivers and fifties, will disappear forever. So when the young nephew is down home on holidays, there's no slipping him a tenner. You have to ask the nephew if he accepts cards. It's the end of piggy banks. The safest banks of all.
Mel Brooks said one time "the world keeps on spinning and it makes us dizzy". Which accounts for all the madness.
This lad from a part of Dublin where they eat hummus for the dinner came into the bar lately and asked if we took cards. Credit cards, that is.
"Yes" I said, "we do and we shred them up into slivers and feed 'em to the chickens." It's not such a bad idea if you think about it. On two counts. Firstly, card-fed eggs wouldn't break when they fall.
The second reason is that cards were the start of all our troubles. The card companies told us a cashless society was a wonderful idea. There would be no more robberies or muggings. The magic card would pay for everything. So that's it. That's what they said about 35 years ago. I swear it, because I remember well. Cards are safe as houses, they said. Well, we all know what happened to houses. No more robberies they said. Credit card fraud has only been responsible for the robbing of billions every year.
So we have come to the conclusion, after many years of figuring it out, that what's good for banks is bad for us. Banks exist to make profits for their shareholders. Well sort of, but it is also the case that banks make profits for bankers. The days of the commission for bringing in business are not over. So it is in York they came up with the most fiendish plan yet: the cashless bar.
It's win win, they tell us. No fiddle behind the bar. No worrying about if you have enough for the price of a round, or searching for purses in cluttered handbags .
So here I am, a publican, in the last days of the bars, passing up an opportunity to get rich.
It's a well-known fact that drink loosens the pockets but what happens when you leave the card behind the counter and the gorgeous girl who finished fifth runner-up in the best-dressed lady contest flutters false eyelashes? "Give her a bottle of pop", you shout. Men are desperate eejits.
Later, herself, the herself at home, goes nuts when she sees the credit card bills and asks, "who is this Dom Perignon and what's he doing spending all our money?"
The cashless bar is the start of the end. I'll never put one in. Anyway, the mother loves counting money. Putting it into bundles and sitting on it to make it flat. I suppose after years of ironing, there's a terrible compulsion to take the wrinkles out of things.
The other side is that when you pay cash you actually see there before you in a physical manifestation exactly what it is you're spending. I curse the day I ever got a credit card. There's no paying them off.
The recession was caused by us too. And not just the bankers. Fools like me. I don't even know what I spent the cursed thing on. Although, the other day I found a box set of 124 spanners hiding in the garden shed. Me, the great handy man who has to call an electrician to put in a bulb.
So here's to the banning of cashless bars.
One of our customers, a lovely lady, used to keep her money in her bra. It was lovely and warm. Cold they are, cards, and cold comfort too.
