In Topic: Dagger shoes#2
24 June 2012 - 02:15 PMKnow this is an old thread, but honestly, commenting on ANY thread on this forum would be necro-posting. And since this is a safety issue for whatever random reader finds this thread, I'll say it anyway.
Depending how you play - hiking/hunting/army boots can be absolutely the worst choice for playing paintball. Depending on how you play.
1. If you move slowly in the woods with heavy paint loads, or you're overweight and not going to run - high top boots are good. Because they're designed for slow deliberate movement over tough terrain.
However -
2. If you like to sprint ahead over rough terrain through the trees and stuff and you aren't too heavy - high top heavy boots are a terrible choice and will probably get you injured.
Full leather hiking/hunting/combat boots are meant for guys carrying heavy loads that can cause one careless step to turn into a sprained ankle. Backpackers with 60 lb packs are good candidates. So are fat guys who aren't going to be running around much anyway. But when you try to play "dagger" or light rifle, or fast sprinter who seizes objectives first and carries a light rig for combat, then those heavy leather boots basically turn into a pair of immovable blocks that will give you serious ankle injuries. The thick soles prevent you from feeling the ground underneath you - which prevents your feet from making needed small adjustments to keep you stable. It's like strapping two blocks of wood to your feet. And when that boot rolls off a rock or a tree root, it's going to role and snap your entire ankle - HARD. You can seriously injure yourself this way.
Worst sprain of my life was playing paintball at a scenario field and I tried to sprint wearing my heavy Asolo full-leather hiking boots. Took me out of the rest of the season and took four months to fully recover.
So don't listen to some random guy who says "boots are the best" unless he can demonstrate why they are the best for him - find out how he plays and make observant and smart decisions.
I'm a fast sprinter. I sprint off the starting horn and run full speed into the woods jumping logs and and that sort of stuff. Then I hide in the far flanks and try to sneak around people. I usually run a crappy little Trracer pump gun with a 50 round hopper, smaller CO2 tank, and maybe one small pod of refill ammo. I wear low top trail running shoes with good traction and flexibility. Rubber cleats could work good here too.
But a big 200+ pound dude with a Tippman on remote line and six pods of paint is not going to want my shoe setup. He'll want to protect his ankles more for slow movement.
I'm sure no one is reading this forum anymore. But on the off chance someone stumbles in here on a google search, I wanted to get out the safety announcement.
In Topic: So you want to be a Dagger...
15 March 2011 - 11:32 AMWell, I just had a mini scenario game in the woods last Saturday, and my Trracer worked great with no problems.
But I'd say I've got a long way to go before I can say I'm effective with a pump gun. Still, I managed to usually tie up about 3 enemy players for at least five minutes or so every game, and generally make a nuisance of myself. Even if I couldn't seem to hit the broad side of a barn.
You really do rely on that rapid fire to "walk" your shots into the enemy with semi-auto. Not having it with a pump gun made people a lot harder to hit. You had to pick your shots more carefully, and you just can't engage people at the same range you used to with semi-auto.
In Topic: So you want to be a Dagger...
05 March 2011 - 11:11 PMI've come to the conclusion that I'm pretty much going to be running my cheapo (but ridiculously reliable) 1990s Trracer Maverick pump gun all season this year. I just don't have the funds for playing semi-auto. It'll be the first time I've tried to match pump against semi-auto. Should be a learning experience.
Well, at least a Dagger isn't hurt as bad by a limited ammo handicap as other positions.
In Topic: So you want to be a Dagger...
03 March 2011 - 12:17 PMMight as well get the whole thing about positions out of the way right up front.
A lot of people diss on the SpecOps positions. And I kind of agree with them. One thing I learned in the first two years of playing woodsball is that you need to be flexible and do whatever the situation calls for. If you need to run, then run. If you need to lay down covering fire, then do that. Don't let some idea in your head of what position you are keep you from doing what is needed on the field.
That said... I honestly like the SpecOps positions, just because they're fun. No other reason. So I have no problem with just referring to something as "Dagger" or "Broadsword" just out of convenience.
[end disclaimer]
OK, equipment....
Agree on the mask. I have a Proto Switch with a thermal lens because that was the best mask I could afford that actually fit. I've got my eye on the Proto Pro Axis as my next upgrade, which is by all accounts, an excellent mask. Whatever you get, make sure it has a thermal lens, and budget enough to replace the lens every year or two depending on use.
Dyes are good masks, the Sly Profit looks pretty good, and the JT Proflexs are nice and breathable too (but if you have hanging earlobes, just realize those ear guards aren't going to cover em). Really, it just depends on the shape of your face and head. I love the Proto line. But a guy with a different head is possibly going to not like them as much. Make sure to go to an actual pro-shop and try the mask on before buying. Things to look for are breathability, good foam, and possibly soft ears.
And you have to get some anti-fog product for the lenses - especially if you wear glasses. And a headband to keep sweat from running all over the inside of your mask is essential. Mask fans are probably only for guys who have serious issues in this area.
But if you can't see, you can't play.
For shoes, I just bought some trail running shoes from Vasque and they're working great. I do trail running in the mountains near my house to stay in shape. Good traction and stability. I agree that these are the second most important piece of equipment after the mask. And if you're a Dagger, you'll want trail runners, not boots.
Thing is though, this only applies to Dagger-style players who run a lot. I would never recommend the lighter shoes to an overweight guy with bad ankles. That guy should be careful on his feet, probably shouldn't be running all out to begin with, and will probably do better with something supporting his ankles.
And even among fast runners, there is no one-size-fits-all. Everyone's feet are different. And the alignment of everyone's ankles is different. Different running shoes are built differently to compensate for a different set of ankles. If you get the wrong kind, it can actually be dangerous and increase risk of hurting yourself. For instance, Inov-8s are great shoes for the right person. But they are very different from other shoes, require a bit of special running technique, and only match up with certain runners. When I asked about them at our local running shoe store in Boulder, the salesman recommended against them for someone with my kind of foot alignment.
Everything else in paintball you can borrow from a buddy. But mask and shoes, are unique to you and are not easily loaned out to you from someone else. And both are huge determiners of how comfortable and safe you are all day - which is the biggest factor in whether you are going to have any fun or not.
After that, I'd say knee pads and/or pants that accommodate them. I'm pretty big on the safety gear before anything else - even before you actually have a gun (at least, if you have people you can borrow equipment from). I can't tell you how much better woodsball is with knee pads. I'd recommend some dedicated paintball knee pads, but if you can't afford that, head down to Home Depot or your local hardware store and get some knee pads there. I'd also recommend some gloves at this point and neck protector - because getting shot in either of those places is not fun.
For gloves, let me just say that most of the dedicated paintball gloves I've seen are not that impressive. Work gloves at your local hardware store are usually better. I use some fingerless gloves from Wells Lamonte that I bought at Wal Mart for $9.00. For full finger gloves I have a pair of work gloves from Grease Monkey which are excellent. They're cheaper than the "paintball" stuff, and easier to get and replace. But if you're dead broke, just go to K-Mart and buy a crappy pair of cotton gardening gloves for $2.00 (or find them in your garage for free).
After this, you want to look at a way to carry a couple paint pods. The cheapest way I've seen is a $9.00 3-pod holster from NxE. That's really all you need to start with. The thing doesn't have as much support as a fully padded pod pack or vest, but if you slide the carrier to your right or left hip, it won't bounce around as much. And anyway, you're not carrying much paint to begin with, so no big deal. You can upgrade to a full pod pack or vest later if it makes sense.
After that, worry about your gun rig.
When going for a gun, the most important purchases are the loader and an HPA tank (if you live in an area where you can get an HPA tank filled). A crappy gun with a good air tank and good loader on it will shoot a lot better than a top of the line gun with a gravity loader and a CO2 tank on it. So get those two items first.
But honestly, you're not a Broadsword. So rate of fire isn't a big deal. Probably a bargain mid-range loader like the Viewloader Revy or Invert Reloader will be all you need. The Proto Primo loader looks like a tempting budget alternative for people who don't shoot too fast, but I don't have experience with that. HPA is a good idea just because you don't have to deal with liquid CO2 spikes, you don't freeze up your gun, and it has better consistency (in addition to being usable in the winter - which CO2 is not).
Then get your gun. Priorities should be: 1) affordable; 2) reliable; 3) lightweight. And in that order. All other features are optional. Pump guns or pistols are highly encouraged if you think that would be fun. But if you're a newbie, you probably want to avoid pistols and pumps - since a lot of skill is involved in running that way, and you'll want some experience before deciding to take the plunge there. A pistol is something you should only switch to because the way you are CURRENTLY playing is calling for it. It's a decision better made as an experienced player than as a newb.
After that comes stuff like jerseys, pants, slider shorts, elbow pads and the like.
But don't buy so much equipment you don't have money for actually playing. Once you have a mask, shoes, knee pads, and a gun setup - paint and play fees are top priority. Till death do you part.
In Topic: What should a new dagger buy?
03 March 2011 - 08:33 AMOK, fair enough.
I'll just start a new thread next time. I kind of figured that necroposting wasn't a big deal if no one else was doing anything with the forum.
But in the interest of tidiness, I'll simply start a new topic next time.

The massive expansion of Clovis Community Medical Center is just what the local economy and the development of the city needs, said business people, politicians and economic development officials at a June 2 breakfast meeting.
Community Medical Centers is pushing ahead with major expansion plans for its Clovis hospital, despite tough economic times that have put some hospitals at risk of going out of business. The sour economy has led to perhaps the biggest need for donor-investors in Community's 113-year history, and a familiar family is helping to answer the need.
Dorothy "Dottie" Rohlfing's desire to lend her time and heart to people in the Valley spanned over 65 years and continued through her passing in March. Rohlfing's legacy of giving to Community Medical Centers will be forever remembered, said Rob Saroyan, Community Medical Foundation vice president.
Local area carpenters are taking time on their days off to volunteer thousands of hours to help construct Terry's House, a two-story home within walking distance of the main entrance of Community Regional Medical Center that will accommodate patient's families who have nowhere to stay or cannot afford hotels.
Stanley Surabian, D.D.S. was raised in a neighborhood near the former University Medical Center campus where he established his dental career as director of the residency program, and now a transformational gift from he and his wife Cheryl will help raise Community Medical Centers' dental services to a new level.

@iamcalledryan "depreciation is rapid compared to the PP - which is a true investment piece"
Yep, that's undeniably one good thing about PPs --- it is so easy to get rid of them.
You're right about maintaining the Piaget. But I hear the same thing about PPs.
"You never really own a PP --- it's your kids who get socked with the really astronomical bills."
@iamcalledryan A dull dial is never excusable.
I'm not saying that these aren't technically excellent watches. I'm just saying that the main reason people buy them is that they are expensive. And that they are boring.
As for better watches: I'd much rather have a Piaget Altiplano 900P. A lot more intriguing, and certainly vastly better to look at. Sure, not so much heritage, but not so much feeling like a sucker when you buy one either.
@MarkCarson @Zeitblom I'm an Australian, wanna see my melanoma scar?
Actually, that's what I say when I am laughed at for my ''eccentric'' habit of wearing
a hat in the tropics.
"Our clients love two-tone watches with Gold and Steel - don't they just look great on a tanned wrist? "
I recently spoke with someone who works with ''problem gamblers'' at one of the local casinos. She said that they mostly fall into two groups: the stupid ones who really think they can get rich, and the strange ones who secretly derive a perverse pleasure from losing their money. I thought of this when I consider PP: dull designs, good finishing but nowhere near justifying the price, not rare or exclusive in any sense [they knock out something like 40 or 50 *thousand* watches per year!].... So what *does* justify the price? Answer: the price itself, the mad fun of throwing money away, knowing perfectly well that you can get far better watches for far less.......
I think I'm starting to understand the perpetual calendar thing...... they're just catering to the rapidly growing Alzheimer's demographic.
Superb article. More of this, and less of celebrity endorsement bullshit please.
When the density of matter becomes too large, an event horizon forms and shields the object from external view. Alas that the Universe seems to have made an exception in the case of bullshit.
Excellent solution of the one-hand problem. Finally a complication that isn't laughable. Pity about the pseudo-antique design.
@MarkCarson @Zeitblom I hear that he is to be honoured by a limited edition extra-large skeleton Hublot watch, the Wide Open Biver.

Sublime, restrained, classy. Of course all Hublots can be described in that way, but this piece represents the apex of horological art, the Beethoven's Ninth of timekeeping, the
What a ghastly mess, looks like it was run over by a Ferrari. Only one is to be made.... Can we have that in writing?
To my surprise I find that I actually like this. What a pity that it is made of titanium and not a real metal.
"It really does feel as though it should be heavier, but the light weight is certainly welcome."
No it isn't actually. If I dropped 200 large on a watch I damn well want to know it's there.
24kt ! I love impractical things.
In Asia, 24kt gold jewellery is not uncommon. Usually however it is bought with the understanding that you can take it back and have it melted and re-made for a small fee. Something tells me that Bulova doesn't have a similar plan in mind....
@MarkCarson @Zeitblom I think I recognise another alt.tasteless alumnus, right? :-)
@MarkCarson @spiceballs I think Rolex have already patented "Spooge". Along with the Rolex Felch.
RJ strikes another mighty blow in its effort to look even more clueless than Hublot.
Well I'll be damned.... a skeleton watch that actually looks great! First I have ever seen.
Somebody asked earlier for us to say what price we would think fair for a given watch.
I would pay US9k for the steel one, 9K + the cost of the gold + 10% for the gold one.
So yes, the prices are ridiculous.
To be fair though, I would far rather have one of these than a Patek P or an ALS.
Patek Philippe should get into this. They could make a wearable drone that works no better than any other, that looks boring, and that costs 50K even in base metals.
@MarkCarson @Zeitblom Correct, you wouldn't be able to stamp out parts for the case of a tungsten watch. You would have to carve them from an ingot, as Herr Spinner does for his UTS watches. I wonder if he'd do it.... of course the result would weigh somewhere north of 800 grams.... details, details.
@MarkCarson @PaulMiller1997 Correct, it is not as scratch resistant. And there are plenty of very light steel watches out there. So it seems pointless to me.
But I can certainly understand the desire for materials that *are* harder. I'd go for a watch made of tungsten.....
I don't get the appeal of titanium. Can anyone explain? Why not just make watches out of aluminium? Or tinfoil?
@spiceballs @Zeitblom Have you seen the movie "Her"? In the future you will say, "What's the time?" and S. Johanssen will reply, "Your watch or mine?" etc etc etc
@MarkCarson @Zeitblom I sympathise wilh all of that.... but sadly *we* are not the ones who steer the market. The question is: how should the watchmakers respond if these gadgets really take off among their clientele? One possible future dystopia looks like this: watches become exclusively something to be worn on special occasions, like suits and ties [remember those?]. Worse: peacockification sets in and everyone starts wearing Hublots. You get the picture....
Jokes aside, I'm afraid that people are missing one basic point. Smart watches may not be able to compete with the real thing in terms of quality, style, etc etc etc. But they can and will compete for *space on your wrist*. Unless people start going bi-wristal, which won't happen much, the success of smart watches would simply mean that the real watch gets left at home. And that would be unfortunate. And that's why it is an issue for blogs like ABTW.
I think the way forward is the revival of the [of course mechanical] pocket watch. You can keep one in your pants pocket with a chain attached to a belt loop. You take it out and admire it at your leisure, while the smart watch does all the boring practical stuff on your arm.
Today, JC Biver deplores horrible design. In tomorrow's episode, Sylvester Stallone explains General Relativity.
Just in time for Halloween.
GO has really gone off the rails. They cancelled all of their very nice dive, sporting, and pilot watches. And started producing this sort of horror. If they imagine that this takes them upmarket, they need to think again.
@marbstiu @Zeitblom I hope that's not the case. Nomos has a really good reputation as a company
that exploded the old "Oh, it's in-house, of course I am happy to pay 5 times as much!" myth. One would have liked to see them follow that up by exploding the idea that gold costs $10000 an ounce.
More gold-digging, particularly disappointing coming from Nomos.
Pretty nice, but too small.
"environmentally friendly luminous substance,"
That sounds like a useful phrase. "That cat over there appears to have some environmentally friendly luminous substance in
its eyes."
At least it isn't a Richard Mille.
There! I said something nice about Hublot!
It's strange that when these brands go for the ultimate, the result is ultimately ugly, ugly, ugly.
Like many non- Europeans, I sometimes suffer from feelings of inferiority when contemplating the greatness of European culture. Then I hear about the Eurovision Song Contest and I feel a lot better. The thought of a Hublot boutique in the middle of Paris is similarly therapeutic.
@MarkCarson @5803822 Do you know of any company today that makes gold watches *without* engaging in ripoffery? This is a genuine question, I'd like to know.
Sometimes I cringe when, for example, Meistersinger or nomos charge 4 or 5 k for watches with in-house movements.... And then iwc ask three times as much for this boring thing. Thank you, iwc, for reminding me that there are far sillier ways to waste money.
@Ulysses31 Good heavens, I thought the display case was just for shop windows. But you're right, one of those toys goes with each watch. Embarrassing. Still, you can always throw it away or give it, as you say, to a toddler. However, there is something attractive about being able to detach the watch and play with it [and probably drop it.....]
@David Bredan @Zeitblom OK, thanks, I get it. Still, I think it would be best not to emphasize weight or thickness, as this hands-on does, if one doesn't have numbers.
"....thickness, which we would wager exceeds 18 mm (sorry, had left my caliper at home)."
Is that how you think a review ought to be written?
"Weight is considerable"
What? 10 kg? What does "considerable" mean? Just to help you out, I would "consider" this if the weight is around 250 grams
or better.
Anyway, thanks, the watch looks great. Price is a bit silly, but everything else is in order [provided that the weight is
really "considerable"].
Anyway, it's clear that this thing is rapidly going to fizzle out.
I read Jason Fung's piece. It's a joke.
"In his opinion, the show was wrong to make no mention of the protests that were "literally outside the Exhibition Center's front door.""
Right, so how should they have mentioned it without taking sides? By reminding the audience that there were people hanging about outside doing nothing in particular? Presumably everyone was well aware of that. What he really means is that they should have taken his side in the dispute. Assuming that he's aware that there *are* two sides --- "Occupy" people there [as elsewhere] aren't real good at noticing that sort of thing.
" Fung's main complaint is the feeling that when the luxury watch industry needed Hong Kong it was there for them, but now that many locals are seeking support for their political cause, at least Watches & Wonders isn't taking a stand."
Oh, I see, HongKongers buy watches as a charitable deed, so that Rolex etc won't feel all alone in the world. "Let's go downtown and buy a Patek, so as to show the Swiss that we are there for them in their travails!" What a load of crap!
One of the most important virtues for Chinese people is that of minding one's own business, a virtue that a great many Westerners would benefit from learning. It seems that the watchmakers are more Chinese than a lot of HongKongers, and good for them.
Very, very nice, with a sensible price for once. And that band might be just the thing for the tropics, where, as I have finally been forced to admit, leather just doesn't work for watches that get worn all day.
And by the way, this is a good example of why sponsored posts can be a good thing: lots of detailed photography and other information.
" How much more accurate the watch might be is difficult to define, and frankly, I am not even sure how one would measure that. "
I can never understand this sort of thing. I can accept that some technical innovation might bring only a *small* advantage, because technical innovations are interesting in themselves. But if they bring *no* advantage, which might very easily be the case in this instance, then that's just stupid. It's like paying double for an in-house movement and then finding that it keeps worse time than an ETA --- something that actually happens all the time, and which is just laughable.
One thing is for sure: this thing is not going to work for fitness purposes. If you are serious, you will sweat. Now maybe not everyone is like me [a serious cyclist whose perspiration is, as my dear wife very justly observes, exactly like the blood of those Sigourney Weaver-type aliens] but I still think that any decent amount of sweat will quickly destroy these things. So forget about competing with Garmin [not that they can resist alien blood either, but although my Garmin looks ugly it still works]..
Second, square may be more practical than round, but what's practicality got to do with it? Anything square = geek central. Roundness will triumph.
I have actually held one of his watches. It was a perfectly smooth pebble. Utterly tactile, beautiful, amazingly overpriced. Surely one of the micros could produce something like that at 10% of the price?
@MarkCarson @Zeitblom I have two kinds of watches: the ones I know I really ought to love, and the ones I do. I know the Fifty Fathoms is a great watch.... but the truth is I would rather have my beloved brick-like UTS.
Thick and chunky as a dive watch should be. Delightful watch, laughable price.
@aBlogtoWatch @Zeitblom Sure they will go up, deservedly in some cases. If Mr Newson can get Apple to produce something that looks as good as that grey hemipode you showed a few years back, then that would be great. I'm betting it won't happen, though.
I can see hipsters bringing back the vest and pulling an i-Kepod pocket watch out of their fob pockets....I would totally buy one of those if it were heavy enough.
But then Patek et al will just develop in-house electronics and start charging $10k for a silicon chip.....

'Half a King': treachery in a medieval fantasy land
Joe Abercrombie's new novel, "Half a King," is a grim and gritty fantasy of a young medieval ruler's betrayal and his quest for vengeance and punishment for the traitors.
Special to The Seattle Times
Author appearance
Joe Abercrombie
The author of "Half a King" will appear at 7 p.m. Wednesday July 23 at the University Book Store, 4326 University Way N.E. Free (206-634-3400; ubookstore.com).
'Half a King'
by Joe Abercrombie
Del Rey, 352 pp., $26
"Grimdark" refers to a kind of story arising from the worlds of online gaming and self-published fan fiction. It's now a fantasy subgenre appealing not only to gamers — young and old, female and male — and fans of pop-culture figures, but to the same people who glory in the gloomy fatalism of TV's "Game of Thrones" series. As they added gorily realistic details like the stench of gut wounds to pseudo-medieval tales of wizards and axe-wielding dwarves, emerging professional authors such as Joe Abercrombie gradually became associated with the term. "Half a King," best-seller Abercrombie's latest novel, embraces the grittiness of life in feudal times with a literal vengeance: King Yarvi, newly crowned monarch of Gettland, finds himself betrayed during his first battle and swears to kill his betrayers.
Yarvi's an unlikely ruler: discounted at birth as a cripple due to his fingerless left hand, he trains himself to be a seer and herbalist. His ambition is to serve his older brother as a royal adviser. When he inherits Gettland's throne after his brother's and father's simultaneous murders, it's hardly a surprise that he's almost immediately ousted from it.
Yarvi's subsequent journey through layers of treachery is well written, and Abercrombie cleverly avoids taking him along the paths trodden by stereotypical disabled heroes. Whether depicting the ritual firing of a treasure-laden funeral ship or the grueling daily grind of Yarvi's stint as a galley slave, the author's economical voice gives a clear and unsentimental account of events sordid, beautiful, or, often, a blend of the two. Abercrombie's Shattered Sea is a fantastic yet believable backdrop to Yarvi's struggle, a vivid imaginary land to which both habitual and newly minted grimdark readers will happily return for "Half a King's" projected sequels.

location historic public rooms food friendly staff good value for money
dining room service one night, but were compensated
Service was outstanding, nothing was too much.
Given a twin room when double booked, so after getting to room had to then go back to reception to swap.
Great staff! We booked a two night stay and had a problem with the room on the first night. The next morning, the manager and staff handled the issue promptly and professionally and we were upgraded for the second night. We can't speak highly enough of Eynsham Hall and loved our stay.
The setting and imposing nature of the driveway up to it and the main building itself , you feel like you are going somewhere special whether it be for that weekend away or for a longer break .There are excellent spa facilities with the pool , sauna and gym and acres of grounds to stroll around.It is a short drive to ring and ride for Oxford, Blenheim Palace or other areas of the Cotswolds. The buffet breakfast and other meals on offer are excellent so whats not to like .
Nothing really as rooms in the lodges that show signs of dating are being refurbed on a rolling basis it seems.
The restaurant and bar were great, also Bruno the waiter was very caring for all the guests. Very pleasant surroundings and a lot nearby to do and see.
The room had a layer of dust on every surface and there was no shelves or space in the bathroom to put any toiletries.
An amazing location, with wonderful gardens and grounds. when looking out of your bedroom and sitting in the lounge we felt like the lord and lady in their mansion. Would defenatly revisit. Real value for money
Lack of a lift
The setting. We were on a rushed overnight to a delayed flight and would have liked to stay longer. Might come back and see it properly because the grounds looked gorgeous and the hall itself was full of character.
No lift to our room but it was a last minute booking and we were happy to get one.
Was all lovely , very relaxing hotel and not at all as pretentious as it may first appear ! Great bar , funky decour , had a few beers and lovely bar snack ! Great room with fab views ! Breakfast superb ! Many thanks to all staff for making a short stay so memorable
What's not to like !
location and lovely building
Not many suitable places inside to just sit and enjoy a drink or enjoy the view. It was too cold to sit outside which would be lovely.
The locations was beautiful
The main downside was the noise - from a wedding on the Saturday night (until midnight)and from the adjoining rooms. The room - main hall - top floor was a narrow room with very small bathroom - which felt as it had been carved out of a bigger one.
This was our third visit to Eynsham Hall and this trip was as enjoyable as the previous two. We always stay in the main hall which is full of character with large and comfortable public rooms. Staff are helpful, location is beautiful and the food is good.
Did find the double bed a little small this time.
Acces to swiming pool for children only to 5.30 pm
Excellent location, the building looks very impressive from the outside . The staff were all very polite & helpful , nice restaurant , good food. A very enjoyable stay.
The Gun room bar looked good at night , however the seating was a little impractical . Our room ( 154 ) had great dual aspect views , however the room does need some updating , starting with the small shower cubicle.
Great location, room, breakfast. An interesting old building. A good value stay.
Beautiful surroundings - friendly staff. Excellent food!
Bathroom needs updating
The location and the hall are very pleasant, this is where everything runs nicely, staff nice and helpful close to bicester village, and Witney was a cute little English town/village.
If you think you are going to be staying in the hall think again, there are purpose built flats at the side of the hall which you stay in and eat in the hall. So you are always outside having to walk to the hall if you want to go into the bar or restaurant or reception. Our room smelt terrible which meant we were to keep the window open. The problem was the bathroom, mould all over the Ceiling, not a nice environment to spend time in if you just wanted to relax in your room. Broken tiles in the bathroom. Not only was I disappointed that we weren't staying in the actual hall but also disappointed the purpose built rooms were awful. We made the most of it by going out on days out from early morning to late evening.
Excellent food,great facilities
Rooms in the lodge were adequate,bed was not comfortable
The setting, exterior and interiors
no European plugs for our adaptors... Did have an English plug adaptor but would suggest having for your international guests plugs for the european adaptor for all the electronic charging needed these days for phones and I-pads...
The elegance of the hall. Large bedroom, great breakfast.
Small shower
Why is this hotel only rated as 3 stars? It is most definitely worth more than that, based on our experience. Food at the evening meal was excellent and there was plenty of choice available from the menu.
Main hotel was beautiful and the staff very friendly
I stayed in the cottage and felt the room was very lackluster and hot.
The staff we're very helpful and polite. We were in a room in a lodge but it was lovely, the bed and pillows were amazingly comfortable. The shower was perfect. Breakfast was brilliant, good choice of continental breakfast, cereal, juice, and the english breakfast was hot and plentiful. A member of staff even bought some sugar to our room because we had run out!!
Very nice environment friendly staff brilliant foods in hotel restaurant and in bar as well. I felt myself fantastic. I strongly recommend for everyone :)
Free wifi available in the hotel but sometimes unstable and in first night doesnt worked.
Setting Hall itself. Good access to Witney and Oxford. Reception staff.
Room too small...it was a single dress as a double. Food a bit pricey. Fell on very slippery floor in leisure changing room..could not drive for 2 days.
We visited briefly as an overnight before a business meeting. The staff really were first class, they were good enough even to show us to a suitable space for my two colleagues and I to hold an early morning video conference with colleagues overseas, where we could discuss without disturbance or eavesdropping (in itself a rare thing to find in even the finest hotels). From check-in to check out it felt like all of the staff wanted to make the experience a pleasant one.
Only negative (if there is one) was that the bar closed early (we could of course arrive earlier!) As a non-drinker this did not really bother me.

Notre Dame vs. Louisville Football Highlights
Notre Dame again was one-play away from winning the game. As it was against Florida State and Northwestern we needed to make one more play to win. The Irish played hard and came back from an 11 point deficit to take a lead but missed a game-tying field goal in the final minute. Notre Dame actually played 9 Freshmen on defense, unheard of in college football, but need because of injuries that have decimated the team.

As heard on Mark Levin's radio show: Top 10 Lies from Obama's Nullification Speech
As heard on The Mark Levin Radio Show and specifically written by Conservative Review.com this is an amazing list of the Top 10 Lies from Obama's Nullification Speech
Lie #1: Every President has Taken Executive Action on Immigration: No other president has ever issued an amnesty of anywhere near this scope, created it out of thin air, or built it upon a prior executive action instead of a statute. And in the case of President Eisenhower, his executive action was to deport 80,000 illegal immigrants.
Lie #2: Illegal Immigrant Crossings are Down: Actually, this is the third straight year that border crossings have gone up, not to mention the entirely new wave from Central America.
Lie #3: It does not grant citizenship or the right to stay here permanently: Under the royal edict, the work permits can be renewed every three years, and most likely, they will be renewed at the same 99.5% acceptance rate as DACA applications. And once they get Social Security cards, they are going nowhere. So yes, this is permanent. And yes, they will be able to get green cards, which puts them on an automatic path to citizenship: "we are reducing the time that families are separated while obtaining their green cards. Undocumented immigrants who are immediate relatives of lawful permanent residents or sons or daughters of US citizens can apply to get a waiver if a visa is available."
Lie #4: Only 5 Million: Make no mistake about it. Obama's illegal amnesty will not just apply to 5 million individuals. It will apply by default to all 12-20 million illegals in the country as well as the millions more who will now come here to enjoy the permanent cessation of borders and sovereignty. Given the numerous options for people to become eligible for amnesty, ICE and CPB will be restricted from enforcing the law against anyone because each individual has to be afforded the opportunity to present themselves and apply for status. There is no way those who were here for less than 5 years will be deported and there's no way the new people rushing the border and overstaying their visas will be repatriated.
Lie #5: Deport Felons: Obama claims he is going to focus on deporting felons. Yet, he has done the opposite. 36,000 convicted criminal aliens were released last year, 80,000 criminal aliens encountered by ICE weren't even placed into deportation proceedings, 167,000 criminal aliens who were ordered deported are still at large, 341,000 criminal aliens released by ICE without deportation orders are known to be free and at large in the US. Again, this is cessation of deportations for everyone. They are leaving no illegal behind....the bureaucracy will be flooded with applications of illegals, and those are the applications that will be prioritized, those families who came here legally will have to wait longer to be united. There is no longer an incentive to enter the legal immigration process.
Lie #6: Don't deport families: Obama is playing the family card. It works like this: people are encouraged to come here illegally, Obama grants them amnesty, then their relatives all get to come, even though they would otherwise be ineligible under public charge laws. Yet, at the same time, because the bureaucracy will be flooded with applications of illegals, and those are the applications that will be prioritized, those families who came here legally will have to wait longer to be united. There is no longer an incentive to enter the legal immigration process.
Lie #7: They have to pay taxes to stay: Aside from the absurd notion that they would turn someone away for not paying taxes, almost every one of these illegal immigrants lacks a high enough income to incur a net positive tax liability. Hence, by paying taxes, he actually means they will collect refundable tax credits!
Lie #8: Background Checks: Just the thought of a criminal background check of people coming from the third world on a lawless program is a joke. But the reality is that Obama has already done this with DACA, and 99.5% of applications were approved, including those of criminals.
Lie #9: Cracking Down on Illegal Immigration at the Border: Obama promises to beef up resources at the border. But as we've seen over the past few years, what good are more agents if they are explicitly intimidated into turning a blind eye. Moreover, there is no promise to build a fence or implement a visa tracking system, so any talk of enforcement is an insult to our intelligence. Moreover, he is unilaterally abolishing the Secure Communities program, the only successful interior enforcement program left after he abolished 287g state-federal cooperation in 2012. At a time when we are facing threats from Islamic terror and deadly diseases, this invitation to the world will present a security nightmare.
Lie #10: Scripture tells us, we shall not oppress a stranger: It's great to see him quoting the Bible for once, but nice try. There are different variations of this verse throughout the Bible, but each one uses the Hebrew word "Ger" to describe what Obama translates as "stranger." A Ger is a convert to Judaism. The commandment was not referring to people who illegally migrate to a nation state. And more importantly, it is downright offensive to Americans to insinuate that not granting them benefits is tantamount to oppression, especially given the fact that they have been the biggest recipients of our generous legal system. Moreover, if there is oppression taking place it is to the American taxpayer and worker and those who suffer from gangs like MS-13.Again Hat Tip to ConservativeReview.com

She's baaaack!
After a hair-pulling, table-flipping September 2010 exit from Bravo's "Real Housewives of New Jersey," one of reality TV's most hated villains, Danielle Staub, is back to stir up more drama, this time in the kitchen on VH1's "Famous Food."
VIDEO: Remember these wild Real Housewives of New Jersey moments?
Ahead of Sunday's premiere, Staub, 48, offers five reasons to watch the competition series costarring Heidi Montag and Jake Pavelka. At stake on "Famous Food"? Seven celebs will battle for bragging rights and a gig as partner of the Los Angeles-based Dolce restaurant group.
"This is my chance to do something a little different [on reality TV]," Staub tells Us Weekly. "Rather than fighting for my life [like on Housewives], it's a chance to fight for a restaurant and to show my children a different side of their mom on TV."

For more from Staub -- including her thoughts on Montag ("not the sharpest tool in the shed," she snipes) and the show's biggest blowout fights -- check out the exclusive clip above!
"Famous Food" premieres Sunday at 10 p.m. (EST) on VH1.

Italy's Monti warns against populism as Berlusconi attacks
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By James Mackenzie | December 12, 2012 2:28 AM EST
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti warned against a slide into populism on Tuesday as Silvio Berlusconi stepped up attacks on his technocrat government, accusing it of following failed "Germano-centric" policies.
Financial markets have pushed Italy's borrowing costs higher since Monti said he would quit after Berlusconi's party withdrew support for his administration.
Italy's financial crisis has threatened the stability of the euro zone and Monti's European allies want it to continue with fiscal discipline and reforms they believe helped the zone's third-biggest economy avoid a Greek-style collapse.
Berlusconi, Monti's flamboyant predecessor as prime minister who was driven from office last year by the crisis, says he will run for a fifth term to end the recession.
On Tuesday, he dismissed nerves in financial markets, saying the main gauge of investor trust in Italy, the spread between Italian bonds and their safer German counterparts, was "a con".
"The Monti government has followed the Germano-centric policies which Europe has tried to impose on other states and it has created a crisis situation much worse than where we were when we were in government," Berlusconi said in an interview on his own Canale 5 television network.
He accused Germany, the euro zone's biggest economy, of deliberately profiting from the crisis which brought down his government last year to reap speculative profits and lower its own borrowing costs.
Monti, an economics professor drafted in to head an unelected government, plans to resign once next year's budget is passed in parliament and has not said what he will do then.
The former European commissioner has said he is concentrating on his remaining time in government and not thinking about whether to stand as a candidate in the election expected in February.
Speaking on state television on Tuesday, he defended his government's economic record and warned against "oversimplified" election promises that hid the true problems facing Italy.
"It's important that there is this self-discipline on everyone's part so as not to create ruptures with Europe and above all not to treat people like fools but like mature citizens," he said.
He again left his own political plans open, refusing to confirm speculation that he could join a centrist grouping or lend his name to a pro-European reform party.
"Politics is above all a question of culture, that is, trying to give direction to people's ideas," he told state television station RAI.
"I think I did it when I was a professor, I'm trying to do it in this brief period when I'm prime minister, I'm sure that, whatever hat I'm wearing in future, I will continue to do it."
Whether or not he stands for a new term in office, there has been wide speculation that Monti could become Italy's next president, an office which would allow him to play a crucial role in influencing the overall political debate.
Financial markets were calmer on Tuesday, a day after a sharp sell-off when Monti said he was stepping down.
Italian 10-year bond yields were around 4.7 percent, while the risk premium or spread over safer German Bunds had narrowed to 342 basis points, having topped 360 points on Monday.
Opinion polls give Berlusconi's squabbling centre-right People of Freedom (PDL) party little chance of winning the vote, with centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani seen for now as Monti's most likely successor.
Stung by the tone of some comments from European policymakers, Berlusconi accused foreign leaders of making statements that were offensive to Italians.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she supported Monti's reform path and was confident it would continue. "I am sure the Italian people will vote in such a way that Italy stays on the right path," she told reporters in Berlin.
Berlusconi, who has made Germany the target of some of his fiercest attacks, said Germany had worsened Italy's crisis last year by ordering all its banks to sell all the Italian debt securities they held in their portfolios.
"This fact brought in 7, 8, 9 billion in revenues. The other American and international funds thought, if Germany is selling, there must be something behind it and they sold too," he said.
He scorned markets and the risk premium over German bonds, a staple of Italian news reports for more than a year.
"The spread is a con, an invention used to defeat a government majority voted for by Italians," he told Canale 5.
"We never heard of it before. People have only been speaking of it in the past year and what does it matter?"

Are You Ready for Archie Zombies?
'Afterlife with Archie'
Published: 03/06/2013 12:55am
Archie Comics has announced that it will launch a new ongoing comic title around the question: "What if the zombie apocalypse began in Riverdale?" The new series, Afterlife with Archie, will be written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the sometime TV/movie/Broadway writer (see "Bloody 'Carrie' Teaser Trailer") who just did a Glee story arc for the regular Archie ongoing series (see "'Glee' Storyline in Archie").
Two story arcs are planned so far: "Escape from Riverdale," and "Betty RIP."
Aguirre-Sacasa described how the series came about. "This series came out of conversations with Jon [Goldwater], asking questions like, 'what if the Archie characters found themselves in a Stephen King novel like The Stand or a Sam Raimi movie like The Evil Dead?,'" he said. "Could we pull that off, tonally? We're really going for it."

Dubai seizes Dh4m worth of fake electronic goods
Haul includes 5,300 television sets and 7,000 DVD players
- Image Credit: Courtesy DED
- The confiscated electronic appliances being loaded on a truck from a warehouse in the Al Aweer area of Dubai.
Dubai: The Department of Economic Development (DED) has seized Dh4 million worth of fake electronic goods from a warehouse in Al Aweer in what it has called one of the biggest crackdown on counterfeiting to date.
Officials from the Commercial Compliance and Consumer Protection (CCCP) division of DED tracked and raided the warehouse which contained more than 20,600 carefully packaged duplicates of a variety of popular electronic brands.
Acting manager of CCCP's Intellectual Property Rights Protection Unit, Khalid Ali Al Youha, said that the DED has put all its efforts to protect trademarks and consumer rights in Dubai
"Dubai being a major logistics hub and retail destination we maintain an extreme vigil against counterfeiting and trademark infringement. The Commercial Compliance and Consumer Protection division conducts regular market inspections and also acts on complaints received, to avoid Dubai being used as a conduit to sell or distribute counterfeit goods," added Al Youha.
Around 60 people were found working at the warehouse which included fake goods from leading brands LG, Panasonic, Sony, Sharp and Hitachi.
The seized goods weighed a total of 120 tonnes and included 5,300 television sets, 7,000 DVD players and various other devices including stereo sets, and home appliances.
The owner of the goods will be given a Dh30,000 fine, the maximum penalty for trademark infringement, and the confiscated goods will be destroyed.
Kills innovation
"Trademark infringement violates intellectual property rights and Dubai is determined to curb such practices. Counterfeiting corrupts the market, kills innovation and denies a consumer his right to quality and information," said Al Youha.
Cooperation from traders and consumers will further help the DED protect trademarks in the retail market, added Al Youha.
Complaints against trademark infringement should be submitted to the Commercial Compliance and Commercial Protection division at the DED along with an official complaint letter, copy of the trademark registration, a written authorisation to proceed with the complaint, list of the people or companies alleged to be the offenders, original product sample, sample of the fake product and a list of the similarities and differences between the original and fake product.
