With missions spanning from North Africa to Moscow to Pointe Du Hoc, Call of Duty 2 presents an even bigger hit than the original COD, an amazing feat in itself. The old Quake 3 engine has been discarded and replaced with a new proprietary engine developed specifically for COD2, enabling a battle chatter system in Single Player, a robust particle system to portray vivid weather effects and giving players the ability to use portable concealment in Single Player. Infinity Ward also added several weapons, changed many of the models and skins to make them easier to use and changed the weapon sounds to be more realistic, as well as revamping the visual aspect of the game to an astounding degree of detail. Yet, some players were disappointed in the almost blatant disregard of all the changes made by Gray Matter in the COD expansion, United Offensive. Gone are vehicles, grenade cooking and sprint function, and so the multiplayer side of COD2 is much more akin to COD1's multiplayer rather than UO's multiplayer, which pleases many players but does leave something to be desired after the UO experience. The focus of this guide, however, is the weaponry aspect of COD2. Like COD1, COD2 features an extensive array of weapons, and this guide is designed to cover the historical background of these weapons and their in-game characteristics. As many of the weapons are retained from COD1, most of the entries in this guide are direct ports from my CODUO Weapons Guide, although changes have been made where appropriate. =============================================================================== 1.1 - Changes from COD =============================================================================== While the weapons and gameplay of COD2 are essentially the same as COD1, there are quite a few changes that should be noted. Most changes are cosmetic, although some are major introductions or alterations. Note that this list outlines changes from COD: United Offensive rather than COD, even though they were developed by different companies. ------------- NEW WEAPONS ------------- -M3 Grease Gun -M1897 Trench Gun -Scoped Lee-Enfield -Scoped Gewehr 43 -PPS-42 -.30 cal ---------------- WEAPON CHANGES ---------------- -All weapons are remodelled -Most weapon sounds have been changed -Players can only carry two firearms, including the pistol -Scoped weapons can now be held steady by "holding" breath -Grenades can no longer be cooked -Crosshairs disappear while running -Crosshairs turn red when placed over an enemy -Crosshairs now have a hit indicator -Grenades are not selectable; they are thrown with a specific button -Thompson now uses a 20-round magazine instead of 30 rounds -Weapons no longer have select-fire modes -M1A1 Carbine replaced by M1 Carbine (although name hasn't changed) -Scoped Mosin-Nagant now reloads with individual rounds -Iron sights have been generally enlarged -Binoculars are standard-issue -M18 Smoke Grenade replaced with AN-M8 Smoke Grenade (no gameplay changes) -Deployable MGs have been removed -Screen now changes angle and shakes while reloading or bashing -Melee attacks supposedly connect easier ----------------- General Changes ----------------- Compared to COD1, COD2 seems to have reduced its "action" side and given it a shot of tactical gameplay. While not the one-shot kill tactical gameplay of the Tom Clancy series, all weapons are now substantially more powerful and easier to handle, with easier-to-use sights and less recoil. This makes the multiplayer aspect less about spamming and more about precision, although players can still use saturation methods. However, as it is now easier to kill and be killed, players should consider the weapons they use and adopt the right tactics to prolong survival in the face of much more potent weaponry. Because of the more tactical nature of the game, COD2 blurs the distinction between different weapons. A semi-automatic rifle can now be handled just as effectively as a bolt-action rifle at long range, and the MP44 can pick off targets just as good as a semi-automatic rifle, and rub shoulders with submachine guns. While each weapon still has their unique characteristics, there is no longer the feel of each weapon dominating a certain aspect of the game, which encourages players to use different types of weapons rather than sticking with only one. =============================================================================== 1.2 - Aiming =============================================================================== As in Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2 makes extensive use of iron sights in the system known as ADS (Aiming Down the Sight, appropriately enough). By default, the iron sights are toggled using the right mouse button, although this can be changed to a different key or changed to manual control instead of toggle. The major change from COD1 is the size of the iron sights. The iron sights are now much larger, especially for rifles. Most notable is the Lee-Enfield's pillar sights, which were very small and hard to use in COD1 but now facilitate easier aim for players. All hand-held weapons have iron sights, except sniper rifles, which have a telescopic sight instead. The scopes are raised using the same button, which brings up a solid aiming reticule. Scoped weapons are generally very unstable to aim, although they can be held steady by COD2's breath-holding feature. While in aiming mode, weapons are much more accurate than firing from the hip, although it requires manual control to manage weapon recoil. Most weapons have a zoom effect when aiming down the sight, the magnification being greatest on scoped weapons and rifles and non-existent on pistols. Movement speed is also reduced to walking pace when aiming down the sight, which may be a liability when speed is crucial in a given scenario. COD2, like its predecessor, does not model wind and bullet drop, so all bullets travel in a straight line from the iron sight to the point of impact. With the new disappearing crosshairs while running, the use of iron sights is encouraged over random spraying, although many players disregard the need and continue to run and gun. In regards to crosshairs: COD2 has tried to nerf firing from the hip by improving handling while aiming down the sight, and by making the crosshairs disappear while running, making it more difficult for spamming techniques. However, the crosshair has two new features: it goes red when pointed at an enemy target, and it features a hit indicator in the form of diagonal lines that appear when a target is struck by your attacks. =============================================================================== 1.3 - Health =============================================================================== One of the early controversies of COD2 is its new health system. Unlike the health bar system of COD1, COD2 features a 'regenerating' health system, where players can regenerate all their health when not taking any damage for a few seconds. When the demo was released, many players were shocked at the Halo-like health system and complained that it would be impossible to die, and that implementing such a system in multiplayer would mean that players could run around freely without getting killed. The reality is that the system doesn't change much from the original gameplay. The specifics are as follows: -Players have a "virtual" health bar that regenerates over time -When players take a certain amount of damage in a short period of time, players "go critical". This is equivalent to a conventional health bar going red. Players will experience dulled senses and a red tinge around the screen. Further damage will kill the player. In multiplayer, players in critical mode have their names in red, while non-critical players have green names. -If players are not killed during "critical", players will recover and regenerate their health back to full. Consequently, the health system reflects more of a "shock" system rather than a true damage system, even though the underlining mechanics are essentially that of a health bar. Players can shrug off light wounds, but sustaining lots of damage will kill a player. The new health system removes the gameplay element of hunting around for health packs, as players no longer sustain permanent damage. It also prevents players from getting killed when struck by the occasional SMG round one too many times. Players can still be killed with single shots from a powerful weapon. The new health system does not result in impossible-to-kill players, despite what skeptics may think, as most multiplayer engagements end in either player getting killed. Because of the increased damage in each weapon, a single burst is enough to bring a player down, and regenerating health only kicks in when a player successfully disengages and takes time to catch some breath before re- engaging. In short, the regenerating health does not kick in for the vast majority of multiplayer firefights. =============================================================================== 1.4 - Damage =============================================================================== This is slightly mentioned in the Changes and Health sections, but it deserves its own section. As you probably know by now, the weapon damage in COD2 has been greatly increased over COD1. Weapon damage is no longer arcade-like, and bringing down players has become very easy. Every weapon can kill a player in 2-4 shots, if not less. A Sten can take on an MP44 toe-to-toe with a fair chance of survival, and an MP44 can take on a rifle with a fair chance of survival. It's anyone's guess as to why Infinity Ward changed the damage system, but working with what we've got, let's look at some scenarios that would change between the games. Let's say I'm using a Gewehr 43, the German semi-automatic rifle, and I run around the corner and see five Russians spawn in front of me, looking the other way. In CODUO, I could theoretically kill each of them with two shots, thereby killing all five Russians with one magazine. In practice, I'd barely be able to kill one before they turn their PPSh's onto me and turn me into Swiss cheese. If the same scenario was played in COD2, because I can use the weapon to easily inflict headshots and quick double-taps, I am more likely to take out all five Russians with LESS than 10 rounds. Take another scenario: I'm running around with an MP44, and I stumble across the enemy flank, with most of their team respawning there. In COD1, I would most likely be able to take out two or three enemies before I run out of ammunition or I get killed. In COD2, I ran into that scenario in one of my early games, and I killed EIGHT players in a row with less than 30 rounds, and lived long enough to reload. If a player using a Garand is able to flank an enemy line and find a good vantage point in CODUO, they would have hard time capitalising on their advantage because the kill speed in CODUO is quite long, especially for a semi- automatic rifle. In COD2, the rifleman can immediately dispatch several targets upon making the successful flanking move. Basically, it requires less ammunition expenditure to "guarantee" a kill. In COD1, it would take 10+ SMG rounds to make sure that the target was dead. In COD2, it now takes under 5 SMG rounds to make sure that the target stays dead. This is a huge tactical change from COD1. From the above scenarios, the following can be concluded regarding the new weapon damage and its impact on Multiplayer battles: 1)In COD1 and CODUO, engagements are decided primarily by INDIVIDUAL SKILL. This factors in weapon familiarity, specific weapon advantages, player reflex and kill speed. A "good" player in COD is someone who could "rambo" through a dozen players with a PPSh and kill 6 before getting killed, or being able to hold a position with a rifle against numerous enemies who are dispatched with single shots. Essentially, "skill" in COD1 was defined by how good you were with a specific weapon. 2)COD2's damage system places less emphasis on individual skill, but instead rewards GOOD TACTICS. As everyone is now on equal footing with similar damage properties with all weapons, the only way to maintain superiority is to improve player tactics. A player who successfully flanks an enemy line, for example, is rewarded by being able to take out a fair portion of the team. Reflex and skill are still important, but tactical movement is what defines a "good" COD2 player. This is not an argument as to which system is better. Rather, this is purely to show the remarkably different pace of multiplayer action in COD2 in contrast to what COD veterans grew up with. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 2.0 - PISTOLS *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* A soldier wouldn't be complete without a trusty sidearm to fall back on, and for some it is a badge of honor or power. Call of Duty disregards all that and gives players pistols for exactly what they're meant for: a secondary weapon. While all players in multiplayer are given pistols as standard sidearms, pistols no longer have their own slot. Instead, the weapon slots consider the pistol as taking up the same space as a regular rifle or submachine gun, which means that players can only carry one weapon in addition to their pistol. Each team has their own unique pistol. They all have the same general characteristics, so there isn't much point in trading pistols, but they are good weapons to fall back on if you don't have a better secondary weapon. =============================================================================== 2.1 - Colt .45 =============================================================================== Name: M1911A1 Colt Automatic Pistol Country of origin: USA Available for: American Calibre: .45 ACP Magazine capacity: 7 rounds Firing mechanism: Single-action, recoil-operated Weight: 1.08kg ----------------------- Historical Background ----------------------- Designed by John Browning in 1900 and based off a previous civilian design, the Colt M1911A1 was adopted by the US Army in 1911 after winning competitive shooting trials in 1907. Various refinements were made after experience in the First World War. When fired, the pistol recoils, allowing the barrel to move downwards and back, ejecting the spent case and loading the next bullet. The Colt also features a manual catch and external hammer, as well as a safety grip that prevents the gun being fired unless held properly. Initially, M1911A1's were not issued as a standard sidearm to American troops, and was given only to officers and NCOs. However, many enlisted soldiers acquired their own M1911A1's, and they were later issued as a standard weapon for all troops. The M1911A1 has remained the standard sidearm of the US Army until late in the 20th Century without any modifications; it needs none. A solid weapon and one of the finest pistols ever made, the M1911A1 packs a fierce punch and was a trusty companion for the American soldier. ---------------------- Call of Duty 2 notes ---------------------- The Colt .45 is pretty much the same in COD2 as it was in COD1. The weapon is light to run with, and takes 3-4 torso hits to dispatch a target. While aiming down the sight, the weapon kicks back quite a bit, making it hard to fire off multiple rounds accurately, reducing its effectiveness as a close-quarters weapon. The iron sights consist of a rear notch and front blade, and while the sights are large enough for you to see the front pin this time, the notch continues to serve as the primary focus point. =============================================================================== 2.2 - Luger =============================================================================== Name: Pistole '08 'Luger' Country of origin: Germany Available for: German, Russian Calibre: 9 x 19mm Parabellum Magazine capacity: 8 rounds Firing mechanism: Single-action, recoil-operated Weight: 0.877kg ----------------------- Historical Background ----------------------- Developed by George Luger and adopted by the Swiss army in 1900, the German Army adopted the pistol in 1908, designating it as the 'Pistole '08'. The main feature of the Luger was its toggle-joint breech lock, a fancy novelty that made the Luger stand out from other pistols. The catch was that it required precise manufacturing and perfect ammunition, both of which the German manufacturing force was more than capable of. However, once the war was in full stride, the difficulties of manufacturing the Luger became apparent, and the German Army discarded the weapon in favour of the Walter P-38, which was much simpler and achieved the same results. Despite this, the Luger remained a popular weapon and continued to be produced to make up for the shortage of P-38's. A variation of the Luger, the "Artillery Model", featured a longer barrel, long-distance sights, wooden butt and 32-round drum magazine, allowing the Luger to be used as a machine carbine, although the chances at hitting something at those sorts of ranges were remote. Even after the adoption of the P-38, the Luger remained in production until 1944, and there were enough spare parts left over to continue production. A good-looking, distinctive weapon, it was a comfort to fire and was a prized trophy for Allied soldiers. ---------------------- Call of Duty 2 notes ---------------------- As in COD1, there isn't a significant difference between the Luger and the Colt .45. Visually, the Luger looks through it's been left out in the sun for too long, but the weapon handles quite similarly to its COD1 counterpart. The iron sight consists of a wide rear notch with a small front blade, which designates the approximate point of impact. As with all pistols, the Luger isn't very accurate, and the modified crosshair system makes the pistol harder to use in close quarters than in COD1. The weapon does not have as much recoil as the other pistols. However, the knee-joint mechanism kicks up between each shot, making it impossible to aim for successive shots. In COD1, this action took a split second, but now it takes just under a second to pop up and down, substantially impairing vision. This seems to balance out with the other pistols' muzzles kicking up. =============================================================================== 2.3 - Webley =============================================================================== Name: Webley revolver, .455, Mark VI Country of origin: Great Britain Available for: British Calibre: .455in Magazine capacity: 6 rounds Firing mechanism: Double-action, revolver Weight: 0.995kg ----------------------- Historical Background ----------------------- Designed by famed firearms developer Webley & Son Co., the Webley revolver was among the first revolvers to feature the 'top-break' hinge, allowing the frame to be released and the chamber to be reloaded quickly. When the chamber is broken, the ejector rod is automatically activated, removing all bullets from the chambers, allowing individual rounds to be inserted. The original .455 Webley models used "half-moon" clips of three rounds each, requiring the firer to insert two clips to fully reload the weapon. The military version used by Britain in the Second World War was the Webley Mk IV .38 revolver, which was more or less a step down from the previous .455 calibre revolver, and used six-round speedloaders instead of half-moon clips. The Webley remained in service with the British troops until the end of the war, although it was supplemented by another revolver, the Enfield No. 2 Mk 1, as well as the American Colt M1911A1. ---------------------- Call of Duty 2 notes ---------------------- The Webley in COD2 is technically a different gun to the Webley in CODUO, as seen by the longer barrel (Thanks to Peter Banki for that correction). The result is that the Webley looks more proportional and less "goofy" than its CODUO counterpart, but gameplay-wise the weapon is still the same. The iron sight consists of a simple front blade, which marks the approximate point of impact. The Webley fires slowly and has substantial recoil, and has the least amount of ammunition in its clip. It also has the longest reload time, as the player must empty the chambers and insert a speedloader before snapping the weapon back into firing position. Thankfully, the slow reload speed is compensated for by being the most powerful handgun out of the four, but this is not as great as it sounds due to impracticality of using pistols as a primary weapon. =============================================================================== 2.4 - TT-33 =============================================================================== Name: Tula/Tokarev model of 1933 Country of origin: Russia Available for: Russian Calibre: 7.62 x 25mm TT Magazine capacity: 8 rounds Firing mechanism: Single-action, short-recoil Weight: 0.84kg ----------------------- Historical Background ----------------------- Prior to the adoption of the TT-33, the Red Army used the Nagant revolver. Simple and reliable, the Nagant was liked by the troops, but it was clear that a new pistol was needed for better performance. Arms designer Fedor Tokarev based his design on the successful Browning design, the Colt M1911 pistol, using the sliding breech and swinging link system. The ammunition was picked based on previous experience with the German C96 pistol, which was used by the Russians previously and whose 7.63mm rounds were greatly liked for its performance. The design was complete in 1930, and after extensive field-testing and improvements, the weapon was adopted in 1933. Post-war versions had several external refinements, and was distributed to Eastern Bloc countries. Production was ceased in 1952, although the TT-33 was still in use by Russian police forces until the 1960's. While based on good concepts, the TT-33 had several prominent flaws. Most notable would be the lack of a manual safety, which meant that the weapon could be accidentally discharged when being carried, and the only way of carrying the weapon safely was to have an empty chamber. The design was also not very ergonomic, and the grip turned out to be quite uncomfortable. Furthermore, while a good weapon, it was more complex than the previous Nagant revolvers, and the conscript forces preferred the simple Nagant. Consequently, both pistols served in the Red Army throughout the war. Overall, the TT-33 had good penetration at decent ranges, and was easy to maintain. After the war, the TT-33 was replaced by the Makarov PM due to its lighter weight and smaller size. ---------------------- Call of Duty 2 notes ---------------------- The TT-33 is pretty much the same as the Colt .45. Like the Colt, the TT-33 has a larger iron sight which allows you the see both the rear notch and the front blade, and the weapon recoils in the same manner as the Colt, making it difficult to fire multiple shots in quick succession. =============================================================================== 2.5 - General Pistol Tactics =============================================================================== Apart from being easier to aim and taking up one weapon slot, pistols haven't changed much from their COD1 incarnation, even retaining some weapon sounds. Pistols are still the same standard sidearm that are often overlooked in favour of rapid-firing submachine guns. However, with the new disappearing crosshair system, pistols have become harder to use as a personal defense weapon, and the increased recoil while aiming down the sight makes using the pistol less effective than it would be in COD1's gameplay. One thing has been substantially changed in COD2, however. In COD1, pistols and grenades had the fastest running speed, although there wasn't much difference between them and the rifles and submachine guns. In COD2, grenades are no longer selectable, and all primary weapons have taken a substantial drop in running speed. This makes the pistol a viable weapon to have in the second slot instead of the submachine gun, as players can revert to the pistol for quick movement through safe areas, since even the bolt-action rifles carry a noticeable amount of weight. Plus, player models look pretty cool while running with a pistol, as it looks like they're doing bullet-time moves WWII-style. Of course, for its speed, the pistol still has the shortcomings of being a sidearm. Their damage is generally unimpressive, their ammunition capacity is low and they are quite inaccurate beyond 20m or so. However, the pistol is one of the fastest weapons to pull out, and is an important weapon for riflemen who lack an automatic alternative until they pick one up. Many players are still ready to discard the pistol the moment they run across another weapon, and that's an understandable choice. However, remember that you need to change to your pistol and hold it to swap it with another weapon, and that can take some time and leave you vulnerable to being picked off. Some players prefer to stick with their primary weapon and not swap their pistol for that reason. Although the pistol does take up a full slot, it should be used not as a primary weapon by itself. It compares unfavourably to every other weapon, and should only be used as a desperate measure. Standard operational procedure is to expend primary weapon ammunition, then switch to the pistol instead of reloading. Bolt-action riflemen should fire off one round before switching to their sidearm. This removes the vulnerability of reloading in the middle of a firefight while allowing you to finish off a wounded opponent. Getting killed while using a pistol also prevents the enemy from picking up your main weapon, leaving them instead with a rather crappy sidearm. *SUMMARY* -Short range only -Takes up one weapon slot -Fastest movement speed -Good for finish off targets -Best fired without aiming -Low ammunition capacity, difficult to aim *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 3.0 - RIFLES *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* All rifles from Call of Duty are back with better-looking models, more realistic sounds and, most importantly, a huge revamp of their iron sights. While still laser accurate in COD2, rifles are now generally much easier to use than their COD1 counterparts. COD2 retains all of the rifles from United Offensive, including both bolt- action and semi-automatic rifles. The Russians and Germans retain their bolt- action and semi-automatic options, while the Americans have heavy and light semi-automatic rifles to compensate for its lack of a non-scoped bolt-action rifle. The British, on the short end of the weaponry stick in COD1, are now given the American Garand to supplement its Lee-Enfield. =============================================================================== 3.1 - M1A1 Carbine =============================================================================== Name: M1 Carbine Country of origin: USA Avaiable for: American Calibre: .30in (7.62 x 33mm) Magazine capacity: 15 rounds Firing mechanism: Semi-automatic, gas-operated Weight: 2.36kg without magazine ----------------------- Historical Background ----------------------- The First World War brought forward the need to equip rear units and auxillary forces with an effective weapon. This group basically involved anyone whose primary purpose was not to fire a rifle. A rifle, such as the M1 Garand, was too large and too powerful, while a pistol required too much training and was too ineffective. After the German war machine kicked into action, the project was quickly implemented. Starting on June 15 1940, various rifles were tested without success. In August, Winchester submitted a simple model, and it was accepted on September 30 and was immediately put into production. Despite the remarkable speed in which the design went through, the M1 Carbine was an excellent weapon that not only equipped supporting arms, but also front line troops, becoming almost as widespread as the M1 Garand. The firing mechanism is different from the Garand. The gas piston is curved under the barrel and becomes a flat extension with a slot cut in, which rotates the bolt and opens it, ejecting the spent case and loading the next round. A short handle allows the firer to clear jams and manually load rounds. The M1 Carbine was modified for paratroopers by replacing the stock with an iron folding stock and pistol grip, as well as providing a socket to attach a bayonet and designated |

The hotels buildings and gardens are beautiful, Had great fun in the swimming pool with all the spars
the restaurant was empty food ok but over priced had to keep on asking for water and tea bags. it may be better in the summer but do not visit in the winter.
Liked the hotel very much the facilities were excelent, we have rebooked again for valentines day, the following week.
Nothing to say did not dislike anything. Ho just the wind lol.
Location, service, staff attitude & comfort.
Nothing really. The hotel was very quiet, but we did not mind at all .
Just a beautiful hotel in a Mediterranean style . Right on the beach . The views are unbeleaveable . Very quite at the end of town . Spa pool is over the top. They upgraded our room . Didn't even ask . Staff were always there for us . Great service .
A little tough to find another restaurant had to drive to town . Although there food is super .
Everything about this hotel is 5 Star from the minute you walk through the hotel gates. This is the Jewel in the Crown for the Costa Blanca.We will be returning!!
Almost everything. Discreet staff, pristine rooms and public areas.Fabulous views.
As we were finishing our meal in the restaurant around 9.30pm the staff started setting up the empty tables for breakfast - not very romantic! This happens quite often in hotels and really spoils the evening.
We liked everything
If you come back to hotel late in the evening, there was no light on the way to the room.as there are many stairs at the hotel, it was traumatic
The pool, breakfast and the staff
Hotel restaurant is inside, we would have preferred outside.
Great location and good staff.
Bathroom needed upgrading
For five star hotel not up to 5star standard and even though we said we were there for special occasion did nothing to make it special
Room and balcony very good, views lovely, breakfast excellent. Cleanliness very good. Toiletries good. Staff polite and helpful. Parking free on road near hotel. Great for a total relaxation.
Location, isolated no restaurants or bars in walking distance, except for one beach bar. Expensive evening meal, plus restaurant doesn't open till 8.30pm for dinner. Pebble beach need rubber shoes.
Everything, great location, friendly staff, all in this place is simply perfect. I'm looking forward for my next stay here.
If I have to be picky, wifi reception in my room was very poor.
Excellent location with extra ordinary views
This hotel may not be five star rated!! Room has to be refurnished. Staff at hotel desk speaks bad English Swimming pool very small Breakfast ok but should be better for a five star hotel
Amazing food and service. Lovely pool area plenty of sun loungers. Stayed first week September and weather fabulous. Mostly Spanish guests not many English. A very nice break.
Room 306 next to lift. 3 adults in one room 3rd bed not full size. Had to pay 5 euros each for beach lounger and parasol so 20 euros a day on the beach.
This hotel is 5 star all the way, cant wait to go back.
Staff could have been more attentive.
The hotel is a very specific place. It is ideal for elderly couples and those looking for intimacy and quiet atmosphere. It is located far from day and night life, the only way to get to it - take a taxi. Be prepared to be linked to hotel restaurant only as there is no other place to eat in the vicinity...Great sea view. Clean rooms. Nice food.
There are 2 beaches near the hotel: the first one is the smallest lagoon I have ever seen, with lots of people, so be prepared to feel somebody's elbows...the second one is a huge gorgeous beach, but....it is nudist!!!! If you are not a nudism oriented person - that might be a shock, especially for children. The swimming pool is a complete disappointment, extremely small, there's no enough space round the pool as well as no enough chairs.... Generally, this is not a family hotel!!!! No way to go there with the children....
I loved this hotel! The staff were very attentive and the hotel is excellent. The location is stunning. I have special dietary requirements and these were attended to most diligently. Cannot praise the hotel staff enough.
Wifi was slow. Very slow. Hardly the fault of the hotel staff though, so would not criticise them for it.
The service was fantastic and the staff excellent . I couldn't fault anything in the hotel. The food was fantastic and will be going back. recommend it highly. (and the nudest beach)
The staff were amazing, we had many jolly conversations with Lara whilst dining, as well as many others but I am unaware of their names. All staff went out of their way to make us feel at home from the moment we entered reception to the moment we left, this also includes the cleaning personnel., and the lovely Russian lady at the poolside bar. We could not fault anyone. The views are stunning , and the private beach amazing.
The only improvement I would recommend is that there are more sun shades around the pool area.
The hotel, staff and facilities are all first class as you would expect of a 5* hotel. We were only there for a short break but hopefully we will be back.
The limited range of food on the Bar Snacks Menu. The noise of the local tram service!
Staff is great, and the views and location super. Highly recommendable.
Wifi doesn't work properly.
The private beach, great view, not crowded, spacious room, great security
The pillows!
Location and relaxation, hospitality and service was excellent, food was excellent!

She's not sorry, indeed!
In Rome on Tuesday, during the latest stop on her MDNA tour, Madonna gave concertgoers a glimpse of something special -- nearly mooning the audience in barely-there skivvies.
PHOTOS: How Madonna's face has changed
Days after exposing her nipple to fans in Istanbul -- outraging some -- during her song "Human Nature," the 53-year-old pop legend and mother of four pulled a similar stunt during the same number in Italy.
PHOTOS: Her wildest looks of all time
Clad in a sexy lace bra and trousers, with her blond locks swept up in a dramatic retro 'do, the Grammy winner yanked down her black pants, revealing her posterior in a lacy, G-string bottom. (Appropriately enough, the 1995 song "Human Nature" is all about Madonna's unapologetic stance for her explicit, edgy "Erotica" album and "Sex" book of the early '90s.)
PHOTOS: See Madge and other un-retouched celebs
The icon was criticized in some corners for showing her breast in Istanbul last week during the striptease routine. "What works for a 22-year-old woman or a man is not appropriate, very often, for a 53-year-old," Donny Deutsch complained on "Today" recently. Dr. Nancy Snyderman also complained. "Not special," she said. "Not a special breast, not worth doing."

Re: Remember to tweak the rail regulators
Thanks for your very helpful reminder. If I use the transformer mentioned above with 120VAC input I should end up with 40VDC at idle, if it runs according to specs. So I will replace only the rail regulator zener references But I also plan to build a HRIII later - for that I will connect our 120VAC power to the 100VAC input on this 1KVA transformer. We actually get 125VAC from the wall plug, so I should end with about 50 VDC. I will have to figure out how many power transistor pairs I need then, and do all the tweaks you mentioned, or just use your HRIII schematic, and Nordic's new board (?) for it. Thanks for initiating all this fun! Francois To Nordic: Jammer man - die ding weeg te veel vir Vader Kerfees se trip na RSA |

Hi the ETA in the states is roughly on Monday....
Oh about that transformer, you can't use it in 60Hz zone... you can use a 60Hz tranny at 50Hz, but you need to derate output by about 10%. |

Hello folks!... in special for Nordic, i have tested the HRII with the MP3 player
I perceived sounded better with i install a load to the player..the 33 ohms resistance .... one to each channel. Also my player had noises when playing into very low levels...the capacitor killed the noises. Observe the gain resistance, 220 ohms because of the player low output level. regards, Carlos

TESARO Announces Clearance Of Investigational New Drug Application For TSR-011
WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TESARO, Inc. (Nasdaq:TSRO) announced today that the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for TSR-011, an orally available ALK inhibitor (targeted anti-cancer agent) has become effective. The Company plans to dose the first patient in a Phase 1/2 clinical study within the next few months.
Following identification of the maximum tolerated dose of TSR-011 in the dose escalation phase of the Phase 1/2 study, TESARO plans to evaluate TSR-011 in three parallel cohorts of patients: those with ALK+ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not been previously treated with ALK inhibitors, those with NSCLC who have progressed during treatment with other ALK inhibitors and those with other tumor types expressing ALK.
"We are pleased with the progress of the TSR-011 development program and we look forward to dosing the first patient within the next few months," said Mary Lynne Hedley, Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer. "ALK is a key driver of subsets of NSCLC, and may also contribute to the growth of neuroblastoma and lymphoma. In order to maximize the commercial potential of TSR-011, we plan to study TSR-011 in multiple treatment and tumor settings."
About Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ALK gene fusions that result in constitutive activation of ALK are associated with sub-sets of certain cancers including non-small cell lung cancer. Abnormal ALK proteins are also associated with sub-populations of other cancers including lymphoma and neuroblastoma. ALK is generally not expressed in normal adult tissue and therefore represents a promising molecular target for the development of a cancer therapeutic. According to the American Cancer Society, over 1.6 million new lung cancer cases are identified worldwide annually, of which over 200,000 of these new lung cancer cases are in the United States. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and the second leading cause of cancer death in women. Lung cancer is typically divided into two groups based upon the histologic appearance of the tumor cells—small cell and non-small cell lung cancer, each of which is treated with distinct chemotherapeutic approaches. According to the American Cancer Society, NSCLC accounts for approximately 85% of lung cancer cases, with approximately 75% of these patients being diagnosed with metastatic or advanced disease. Despite the introduction of new therapies patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC have five-year survival rates of just 24% and 4%, respectively, according to the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results program of the National Cancer Institute. ALK is believed to be a key driver of tumor development in approximately 5% of all NSCLC patients.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Recorded by Aborted's Sven Janssens and mastered at Hertz Studios (Decapitated, Vader, Kronos…), Fragmented further explores the band's boundaries while maintaining and improving the ferocity and passion they are known for. The effort contains 5 songs and has a playtime of about 28 minutes!
The band had allready started writing the record in the summer of 2007 but due to a line up change and some technical problems, the recordings were postponed over and over. However, during this last year, TEOAR kept on evolving, and every song underwent a complete metamorphosis. New lyrics were written to match the 'man vs machine' theme of this EP.
Over the years, TEOAR has shared the stage with numerous bands from The Black Dahlia Murder and Aborted to All Shall Perish, Burning Skies and Sylosis. With their new line up and EP they are all set to bring the storm.
Influenced by bands like Dissection, Neuraxis, Anata, Spawn of Possession, Decapitated, Keep of Kalessin, Opeth, Wintersun, etc. the band delivers a refreshing form of melodic death metal with a technical edge which will be further explored on future efforts. As we speak, THE END is in full writing mode for a first full length album. No further information will be released about that for now, except that it will be a huge, epic concept album…
Now raise those horns the fuck up!

Introduction: Each winter and early spring, the National Weather Service office serving the Baltimore/Washington area issues a series of routine flood potential outlooks. These outlooks estimate the potential for river flooding (not flash flooding) across the Baltimore/Washington Hydrologic Service Area (HSA). This area includes the entire Potomac, Shenandoah, and Rappahannock River basins, as well as drainage basins west of, but not including, the Susquehanna in the Upper Chesapeake Bay. During this time of year, contributing factors to river flooding come from recent precipitation, soil moisture conditions, snow cover and snow water equivalent, river ice, antecedent streamflow, expected weather conditions, and other factors. This outlook is valid for the period through March 12th 2015. In the Mid-Atlantic region, heavy rainfall is the primary factor which leads to river flooding. Heavy rain can rapidly cause river flooding at any time of the year, even when river flood potential is considered to be low or below average. Two week river flood potential outlook: In the Baltimore/Washington HSA, the river flood potential is average through March 12th. Current flooding: None currently across the mid-Atlantic region. Recent precipitation: Over the last two weeks, one to three inches of liquid-equivalent precipitation has fallen across the area, with the heaviest amounts along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. These amounts are above normal east of the Blue Ridge and Catoctin Mountains, and near to slightly below normal west of the Blue Ridge/Catoctins. On a one- month timescale, precipitation is generally below normal west of Interstate 95. On longer timescales, precipitation is generally near to above normal, except for below normal conditions in the Potomac Highlands. Snow conditions: With snow falling at the time of this writing, the entire hydrologic service area has snow on the ground as of March 5th. Snow depths were generally six inches or less as of the morning of March 5th, but increasing due to the ongoing snow. These snow depths are unusually high for early March. Snow water equivalent of the existing snowpack is estimated to be less than an inch, except along the Allegheny Front, and portions of Carroll County Maryland, where amounts are one to two inches. Generally speaking, this is hydrologically insignificant on its own, but still above normal for early March. River ice: Despite some warming, thin river ice remained extensive prior to the rain and snow of March 4 and 5. This caused ice effects on area streams and even some minor flooding in a couple spots. Although the ice is moving, another shot of bitter cold air will try to briefly lock it back up this weekend, before warmer air begins to break the ice next week. River ice is expected to significantly decrease during the outlook period. Streamflow conditions: Most streams in the Baltimore/Washington HSA have been affected by ice, but the recent rain and snowmelt have brought streams to above normal levels, with many even at highs for this time of year. These levels will decrease back to normal by next week. Soil moisture: Soil moisture is below normal across most of the mid-Atlantic region. Given the recent bitter cold and snowpack, moisture may not be as likely to permeate deep into the soil for the time being. Groundwater conditions: Groundwater levels are generally below normal across the hydrologic service area, but observed levels have increased, in some cases substantially, since March 1st. Expected weather: Ongoing snow today will end by this evening. No additional precipitation is currently expected during the outlook period. Temperatures will be below normal through the weekend, then at or above normal through the rest of the outlook period. This will promote gradual melting of the snowpack. Probabilistic/Ensemble River Forecasts: The ensemble river forecasts using the experimental short-term hydrologic ensemble forecast indicate a small potential of flooding due to snowmelt next week. This potential will be monitored. The longer-term probabilistic forecasts on the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service indicate a near normal probability of reaching flood stages through late March, less than 20 percent at all river forecast points during the one month period. Summary: The river flood potential is average through March 12th. Water supply outlook: Assuming near normal precipitation during the next few months, water supply is expected to remain normal through the spring. No drought conditions currently exist in the region. Development of drought conditions is not currently expected. Next issuance: The next issuance of this product will be early in the evening of March 12th 2015.

14th Lok Sabha lost over 70 working days
They were
due to adjournments
ERODE: There are many, many ifs to the promises the candidates contesting the Erode Parliamentary constituency make. The first is if they will win; the second is if they win, will they be part of the ruling coalition and if at all they are, will the MP to-be be a part of the council of ministers. And, now the big if: will he or she deliver what is promised.
These questions matter because an MP from a ruling coalition will be better placed to leverage his position to get things done as against an MP from the Opposition. And, if the Erode MP to-be goes on to become a Minister, then it is all the more easier to get things done. Until then the candidates' promises to solve Erode's pollution problem, address farmers' needs, develop Erode, etc. will remain what they are: just promises.
But then there is a promise that the MP to-be can make but none of the candidates are making: that of attending the 15th Lok Sabha without fail and not disrupting sessions.
The promise assumes significance because the 14th Lok Sabha, which just concluded, lost over 70 working days because of interruptions and adjournments. Consider the Lok Sabha secretariats details available on the Web.
Members of Parliament lost as much as 396.7 hours in adjournments and another 24.9 in interruptions that preceded adjournments.
Together the two account for 421.6 hours loss and considering that the Lok Sabha meets between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., the total loss works to a little over 70 days.
(The figure excludes the 15th sessions, the details of which are awaited.)
In effect, our MPs lost about two months. The time period lost assumes significance as every session ends without debating many of the bills tabled.
Candidates contesting the Erode Parliamentary constituency have, however, failed to talk about attending as many sessions and sittings as possible and not disrupting the Lok Sabha's functioning, something the people of the constituency look forward to.

Hello Everybody,
This is Casey Grom checking in from Everest Base Camp. Our team actually arrived yesterday after making the summit of Kala Patar. Unfortunately we were not able to get a satellite call to let everyone know that we had safely arrived here. Everyone here is doing fantastic!
We woke up this morning to pretty blustery weather, but our wonderful cook Kumar actually got our hot shower up and running here. So it is nice for everyone to get a nice hot shower and just relax. This afternoon we went for a short walk from out camp down the start of the glacier where the route through the Kumbu Ice Fall starts. That was a nice treat for everybody to get to walk down there and try and get an idea of where the route will go in.
Everyone is doing great; we are currently sitting down for dinner. Our game plan is to head back down to Pheriche and we should have cell service Wi-Fi once we get back down there. We are looking forward to getting back down there and will hopefully send pictures then.
Good Night Everybody!
