Everything was as good as described in the information and the other feedback from guests. The staff were great and the breakfast very good! The only thing was that the WiFi did not work in the room, but that didn't matter much to us.
Thank you for accommodating us on such short notice. The house was conveniently located and very comfortable. The staff was friendly and very helpful.
This was my second time staying at Uxolo and I am more than happy that I returned! The house is beautiful and spacious, the breakfast is good, though the people make Uxolo stand apart. Both our host and the staff have made me feel completely comfortable and welcome, giving us information over breakfast or bringing an extra towel in the middle of the night.
Third time. And it was great again. Will come again next time. The staff is excellent! Very recommendable place
We had a great stay in Aubrey's guesthouse! The room was fine and the staff was excellent. Karen was a very good guide, always helpful and ready to take us whereever we wanted. I will recommend Aubrey's, the place is in a pleasant and central area.
Aubrey guest house is truly a home away from home. My hearty thanks to Rabson, Ella and Thando, they made our stay very comfortable and peaceful. Could get anything I needed, now that am home, I miss the delicious breakfast! I will truly come back. I will sincerely recommend this to any one. Thank you.

The beds are comfortable, and my room had a nicely equipped lichen I. It as well. Although I never met her in person, aubrey was friendly and went above and beyond to answer my questions about South Africa ahead of my stay. She has great people taking care of her guests as well. They make sure that you are comfortable and have hat you need. I pan to stay here again, and I highly recommend Aubrey's place to anyone visiting Johannesburg.

I just reached level 30 yesterday and decided to do my first ranked game. It happened to be my first draft pick too, so I was suprised when I got chosen to be banner. I asked team what I should ban (although I had a vague idea of common bans), but when I looked through my list of champions, I couldn't find shen, or anything my team was asking me to ban, So I panicked at last second and banned nautilus, and then immediantly queue dodged. (I was mad at myself for banning something no one asked to ban). I just want to know, Can I ban champions I don't own? I didn't see shen. I felt very pressured when I was team captain :O
I hope next queue I don't be the one who has to ban...
Oh yeah and I appologize to the 9 people I queue dodged and made them wait (although queue time was 2 seconds which suprised me)
Senior Member
They're in alphabetical order.
So I guess try scrolling down to Teemo or Renekton and Shen would be near there.
You cant ban a champion they don't own, if you don't see it, they dont own it.

Re: Spider-man books
Yeah, that was the brief I got, and that I assume we all got. Marco told me to approach it like a movie, to tell a standalone story that wasn't dependent on continuity and could play fast and loose with it. Still, I tried to do that while still being as consistent with the comics continuity as I could, and evidently I wasn't the only one. Kinda the same way we'd approach a standalone Trek novel: not dependent on continuity that may be unfamiliar to the audience, but not contradicting anything in the canon. (Although in this case, we were allowed to contradict specific bits of continuity so long as we were true to the fundamentals of the characters.)

All Black Conrad Smith on record midfield partnerships and what the future holds
Total Rugby caught up with All Black centre Conrad Smith recently to speak about his life as an All Black, his midfield partnership with Ma'a Nonu, and what the future holds as we head into another Rugby World Cup year. He'll be 33 next month, but hopes to be in England to defend the title.
Smith has played 80 Tests for his country, with a winning rate of an unbelievable 90% - he's only ever lost 7 times at that level. It's no coicidence either as Smith, along with midfield partner Nonu, has become an integral part of the team setup.
They equalled the record for the midfield partnership with the most Test caps recently, but with Nonu injured, won't be able to add to that for a while.
This interview gives us a nice insight into the mindset of the man that has a law degree to his name.

Gloucester's Tom Palmer makes huge hit on Exeter Chiefs' Gareth Steenson
Tom Palmer made this great hit during Gloucester's 25-22 loss to Exeter Chiefs at Kingsholm. The home crowd were let down in the end, but this tackle and three tries, were the highlights of the night. Gareth Steenson, who kicked four penalties and a conversion, was on the receiving end.
It's a lock on a flyhalf, so a mismatch physically but still great to see how they both went airborne.

Courtney Lawes smashes another flyhalf, this time Ruaridh Jackson
This is Courtney Lawes' crunching tackle from last weekend against Wasps. It's not as lethal as some of his previous hits, but it's on a flyhalf yet again, so is equally amusing. If you take a look through our Related Posts below this, you'll see many more of his hits on hapless number tens.
In this case it was Ruaridh Jackson, who should have known, but just didn't see it coming.

Aaron Cruden banned for two matches after missing team flight
Aaron Cruden has said he's deeply embarrassed after a drunken night out has resulted in him missing the All Blacks' team flight to Argentina. He has been suspended for two matches, so will miss Tests against Los Pumas and the Springboks.
A few members of the New Zealand squad were at a bar for a meal and drinks ahead of the flight to Argentina for the next round of the Rugby Championship. As Cruden explained in his statement:
"On Saturday night, whilst out for an informal dinner in Auckland, I made a poor decision regarding the limits of my alcohol intake," the talented number ten said.
"This has resulted in the unacceptable action of me being absent from the All Blacks assembly on Sunday morning and thus missing the team flight to Argentina.
"I am deeply embarrassed by this lack of judgement and have never been more disappointed in myself. I have not only let myself down, but most importantly, I have let the team down. I carry the burden of shame and disappointment and I am deeply apologetic to my team, to my family, and also the New Zealand rugby public.
"I have no excuses. I have been working really hard over the past few years at gaining the respect on the field as well as off the field and am devastated I have dropped my own high personal standards, as well as the standards set by New Zealand rugby.
"I accept full responsibility for my actions and the penalty of missing the next two games, and will work with New Zealand rugby to undertake any other disciplinary action to work through this situation."
As well as missing the matches and the fees that he would have received, he'll no doubt face a disciplinary hearing of some sort in a few week's time. Unlike other past cases of high profile rugby players with drinking problems, this appears to be a once off, and to his credit, he's handled it well.
"It's certainly out of character for him and he's extremely disappointed, as are we," said coach Steve Hansen. "It's not what we stand for and it's not what he stands for. I guess we all make mistakes. Like our children, we love our children but sometimes we don't like their behaviour."

Yarrrrrgh matey....ye be a blue suiter of the loranimal variety?
It was an island in the Mediterranean....long day.
Anyways, still a neat story
The USCG has been having its budget strained for decades, this is just one way to free up some money to dedicate it to port security, search and rescue, or maritime control.
However, of interesting note, the LORAN stations where some of the most far flung US military installations anywhere in the world! Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, Spain, Itially....) They've all been handed back, however (most are now derelict).
Also of interesting note, the USCG LORAN Station Lampedusa was the only US military installation directly attacked in response to the bombing of Libya in the 1980s. They fired a bunch of SCUD missiles a hand full of coasties stationed on an island in the pacific. The guy in charge was a lowly LT.
Also, if you have some free time, consider asking your congressperson to give the USCG more $$. Right now, they are 1/10 the size of the Navy with 1/15 the funding, yet are responsible for all of our waterways, maritime environment, maritime search and rescue, fishery patrols, drug smugglers, illegal immigration, national security, enforcement of maritime law, port security, and much, much more!
Promising costs nothing, it's the delivering that kills you.

Blackhawks advance for first time since 2010
May, 10, 2013
By Scott Powers
CHICAGO -- The last time the Chicago Blackhawks were on the winning side of a playoff series they were lifting the Stanley Cup over their heads.
Following that glory in 2010, the Blackhawks endured the agony of being bounced from the first round the past two seasons -- first by the Vancouver Canucks and then the Phoenix Coyotes.
Bill Smith/NHLI/Getty ImagesJonathan Toews says getting past the first round of the playoffs for the first time in three seasons "feels good."
While the Blackhawks arranged themselves with much higher goals again by beginning the season on a 24-game points streak and capturing the Presidents' Trophy, they never forgot that feeling of consecutive first-round defeats. So when the Blackhawks finally moved beyond the Western Conference quarterfinals with a 4-1 series win over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday, they didn't downplay the significance of it.
"It feels good," Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said. "We worked hard all season to get to this point. Nothing is for sure. Whether you're the first or eighth seed, it doesn't really matter. You got to go out there and work hard to get out of that first round. We did that, too."
The Blackhawks defeated the Wild 5-1 in Game 5 Thursday and took the entire series by doing what they did throughout the regular season to be the NHL's premier team.
• After proving himself in the regular season, Corey Crawford showed he could be a big-game goaltender in the playoffs as well. He stopped 132 of 139 shots and had a 1.32 goals-against average in the series.
"It's a good feeling knowing you have a rock in net back there," Patrick Sharp said.
• The Blackhawks' penalty kill shut out the Wild on all 17 of their power-play opportunities in the series.
• The Blackhawks received contributions from everywhere. They scored two goals on the power play. Marian Hossa on the top line scored three goals and dished out three assists. Sharp and Patrick Kane on the second line combined for five goals and six assists. Bryan Bickell on the third line had three goals. Michael Frolik and Marcus Kruger on the fourth line combined for three goals.
"It's been there all year," Kane said of the team's depth. "Really no surprise when a new guy steps up."
• The Blackhawks' defense held the Wild to seven goals over five games. No Wild player scored more than one goal. Mikko Koivu had no points in the series. Zach Parise had just one goal.
"I think this series we can probably talk about our defense more than anybody as far as getting the attention it's deserved," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "Different nights some guys score, some lines are more productive offensively, but at the end of the day our consistency was one of our strengths this year."

We have fans and mantillas; have we the legs?: Louise Levene watches the toil, sweat and temperament as the Royal Ballet prepares its new 'Don Quixote'
Monday 05 April 1993
The shabby rehearsal studio of the company's premises in Baron's Court, west London, is as hot as a hospital in a heatwave. Soloists and principals slouch around in sweat-soaked tracksuit bottoms, looking like refugees from a rave. Beneath the beautiful surface of a new Royal Ballet production lies a chipped and grimy world of torn leotards, frayed tempers and bags under the eyes. Everyone looks younger off stage - and thinner. Girls who seem almost hefty in performance are revealed as waif-like. They make me wish I'd brought food parcels. The men look a lot better in the flesh: butcher and much bigger; the addition of a little sweat and stubble is a definite improvement on their lacquered on-stage perfection.
Since the end of February, Viviana Durante and the rest of the company have been rehearsing a version of Don Quixote acquired from Mikhail Baryshnikov, who created it for the American Ballet Theatre in 1978. They work under the beady eye of Susan Jones, a freelance ballet fixer nominated by Baryshnikov to recreate his work. Small and decidedly plump, she enthuses wildly about the range of starry international dancers who will be performing this Spanish extravaganza and feels we will be seeing a new side of them. 'Stylistically this ballet - the whole peppery flavour of it - is something they just haven't done before,' she says.
The men's class that morning had been traumatised by the arrival of a small group of Japanese visitors taking photographs. The boys are used to 24 hours' notice of a photographer's presence, and the notoriously camera- shy French superstar Sylvie Guillem must be faxed at home.
Ms Guillem herself lopes by in Michelin-man quilted trousers, held up with braces. She sits on the floor alone eating crisps (ready salted). She is not at all happy with the space available for rehearsal. There are too many people in the studio, apparently, with such stars as Darcey Bussell, Zoltan Solymosi, Viviana Durante, Irek Mukhamedov and Tetsuya Kumakawa all jostling for room.
Fiona Chadwick bursts across the stage in a crisp series of jumps and an impressively Hispanic turn of the head. 'It looks good, Fi,' enthuses a colleague. But the dancer pulls a face and hobbles to the side of the room clutching her back: 'I feel like I've done three acts.'
This is the wrong side of the fabric: untidy, unfinished, painful. The smiles come later, but they will be as carefully choreographed and artificial as the pointe work. Someone enters with the contents of a bizarre shopping list: two bags of tambourines, a basket of red and green peppers and a large creel of plaster fish.
It's a simple plot, only loosely based on Cervantes's novel: Basilio the barber wants to marry Kitri, whose father has other plans; Basilio marries Kitri. The mad old Don and Sancho Panza wander in and out of the action, providing comedy, pathos and the odd windmill. But the ballet is crawling with props: swords, lances, tambourines, fans. The fans are crucial to the Spanish look, and everyone is practising like mad. One of the company's native Spaniards flicks her fan open with a sparkle and panache bred in the bone - and drops it. All the fans are falling to bits, but it's hoped that the new ones from Spain will withstand the treatment.
More intensive rehearsals take place in one of the smaller studios. Donald MacLeary, Royal Ballet star of the Sixties and Seventies, conducts a pas de deux rehearsal with Viviana Durante and the former Bolshoi beefcake Irek Mukhamedov - one of the seven different partnerships scheduled to dance the ballet.
They are trying to work out a compromise that will satisfy Baryshnikov's watchdog but still be comfortable for the dancers. There are mutinous mutterings. 'She wants it like this. She says it's more Spanish.' Ms Durante despairs: 'We'll have to have signs on the stage.' Her low spirits are understandable. Despite a bad cold, she had performed the gruelling role of Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty within the last 36 hours. 'My temperature went right up.' She has had little chance for relaxation: a one- hour class, an hour and a half of pas de deux rehearsal, rounded off by half an hour's personal coaching.
'Not shoulders. Shoulders nussing] Yum pum. Yum pum.' Madame Messerer, former Bolshoi ballerina, is guest teacher with the company and is coaching the principal girls. She is 84 years old. I close my eyes and try to imagine my granny in pearls and velvet teaching a 25-year-old how to flirt. I open them and there is Madame doing just that, her wizened beauty creasing into little smiles and frowns as she helps the young ballerina. It will be a lot easier once she's in the full tutu and mantilla.
Don Quixote requires a total of 197 costumes in 110 designs. Wizzy Shawyer, the costume supervisor, and her colleagues inhabit a maze of garrets in Covent Garden with tutus hanging from the ceiling like bordello lampshades. 'Mark (Thompson) hasn't designed for ballet before. He wants them to look like real clothes rather than costumes, and he's fighting the stick-on sequins, twinkly bits of lace. A lot of it is black.'
In theory, the funereal effect will be dispelled by the vivid orange set. The key problem designing and fitting for ballet is that the wearers will not keep still. 'We must accommodate movement,' says Ms Shawyer. 'I have a trick of getting them to lift their arms and lean back as far as possible - usually the most extreme movement they have to do. We've had lots of traumas after the event, when they've made a particularly vigorous move and everything's popped out on stage.'
But that's only the lucky ones. 'Sometimes they have a bit of help in the bosom department. The Kitris have to be quite shapely, to achieve a Spanish look.'
To judge from their measurements, it can't have been easy. Although the ballerinas' sinewy waists don't come much slimmer than the standard beauty queen's 24 inches, the resemblance ends there. Some have barely enough hips to hold up their tights. 'One girl has 28 - weeny hips.'
Everyone has at least two fittings - not always a pleasant experience. 'The new corps de ballet girls are usually OK, but once they reach soloist status . . . sometimes they get very difficult,' says Ms Shawyer.
What about the notoriously picky Sylvie Guillem? 'We consulted her first. Everybody always says, 'We want costumes like Sylvie's, they're so wonderful', so we thought we'd solve all the problems on her and make everybody else's the same. She's been very good. Her advice is constructive: she knows her body well, she knows what works and she's very straightforward about it.'
Fitting is simpler with the male costumes. If anything, they fit rather too well. The breeches are constructed from what appears to be a spin-off of the surgical appliance industry made almost entirely from elastic. 'It's a bit like having your muscles clamped by somebody's hands - some of them love it.'
I broach the delicate subject of hygiene and wish I hadn't. 'I'm trying to give them all a pair of tights and a shirt underneath that will absorb the sweat. Some of them do get a bit high . . . That's why they're a bit reluctant to share other people's. The main matador costume (an astonishing confection of braid and beads) won't be cleaned until the end of the run.'
If then. The huge cost of spring cleaning 197 costumes covered in beads is deferred until the company decides whether the ballet is worth reviving. By Thursday morning Ms Shawyer should know whether to alert the dry cleaners.
