I have been a fan of the Philips Sonicare line of toothbrushes until recently. I upgraded to the FlexCare model based on its claim of being their best toothbrush yet and the fact that it came with a sanitizer. However, it didn't come with any guidance on how to maintain the internal (read: not replaceable) battery. It died at just over 2 years after purchase (it has a 2 year warranty) and when I reached out to Philips to see if they would repair/replace it in good faith to keep a loyal customer, they refused.
The Chat Agent even cited the fact that it should last at least 5 years and attempted to point to some unhelpful documentation, insinuating that it provided guidance on how to maintain the battery. My annoying chat conversation with them, below.
So Buyers beware that this is Philips' position, it is clear that it is not in their best interest to instruct their customers on how to extend the life of their product, and they act accordingly.
I'm very careful when it comes to batteries and generally like to know how the batteries of a given appliance or device like to be treated (for example, today's SmartPhones like to be full or topped off constantly and it's hard on the battery to get completely drained). Conversely, laptop batteries should be "conditioned" monthly - a complete drain down to dead, and then a full, uninterrupted recharge).
The top-of-the line Sonicare FlexCare came with no such guidance, despite costing close to $200 and having a non-replaceable battery (I hate that - such a waste).
Pearl: Hello, how are you today?
Me: Hi Pearl. Just fine, thanks yourself?
Pearl: Doing great, thanks for asking.
Me: Good to hear it.
Me: I had a question about my FlexCare toothbrush
Me: it is no longer turning on
Me: is there anything you can help me with on that?
Me: I've only had it for 2-3 years and I heard they should last 4-5 years
Pearl: I apologize for your recent experience and will do my best to help you with it.
Pearl: could provide me with model number, serial number and your unit's date of purchase? The HX model and serial numbers are located on the bottom or inside the well of the toothbrush handle.
Me: OK
Me: let's see
Me: Serial: 080221
Me: Model: HX6930
Me: and I don't have an exact date or purchase but I think it was the fall of 2009
Me: so not quite 2 years, if I'm counting correctly
Pearl: Thanks for the information.
Pearl: Do you have the purchase receipt for this unit?
Me: hmmm, probably not
Me: I might be able to contact Costco to see if they can pull it up if it is critical, but not sure if their records would be retained for that long.
Pearl: Does the light come on when the handle is on charging base?
Me: no it does not
Pearl: Have you tried a different wall outlet? Just to make sure that the outlet is working fine.
Me: Yes, I have. The sanitizer comes on as well so I know it is getting power.
Pearl: As per the serial number, the unit is not within warranty, the Sonicare toothbrushes are non-repairable, my best suggestion would be to purchase a new Sonicare toothbrush and I can offer you a coupon code for 15% off and free shipping on purchase of the unit through our Philips online store.
Me: What does the serial number tell you? Can you tell when it was purchased? If so, when?
Pearl: It shows as purchased in 2008, if you have the purchase receipt I would request you to fax it to our entitlement team to validate the warranty on this unit.
Me: I see. And how long is the warranty good for?
Pearl: The sonicare units come with a 2-year warranty period from the date of purchase.
Me: I see. I just checked the FAQ and it did say that the batteries cannot be replaced but that they should last for many years.
Me: I don't think 3 years is "many years" - that's very disappointing.
Pearl: That's correct, it lasts for at least 5 years.
Me: So why did this one stop working after 3?
Me: I remember trying to find out in the manual how to keep the battery in good condition and it did not give any tips.
Pearl: It is advisable to deplete the battery and then recharge it for 24 hours.
Me: How often?
Pearl: The fully charged handle lasts for 1 week.
Me: I see. is that stated anywhere in the manual?
Pearl: I'm checking it for you.
Me: thank you. because I always wondered and tried to look for it
Me: now it's dead.
Pearl: http://www.p4c/. Philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex. pl?scy=US&mid=Link_FAQs&view=aa12_view_partial.html&session=20110713180056_220.127.116.11&list=aa12_list_partial.html&slg=AEN&ctn=HX6932/10&dct=FAQ&refnr=0082677&faqview=1
Me: I clicked the link. doesn't say anything you explained.
Me: did you want me to read anything in particular?
Pearl: "Our rechargeable toothbrushes last for a minimum of 2 weeks without charging and are therefore convenient for travel."
Me: I see that, too. it doesn't say anything about recommending that one depletes them and then charge for 24 hours.
Me: it just says that it's convenient to travel with
Me: I have to say that this is very upsetting. you could easily put these recommendations in your official documentation (manuals) so that your customers can actually get "many years" out of the life of a product that they paid a premium for. I paid nearly $200 for my Sonicare and what you're telling me is that one year after the warranty expires, I have to go buy another one.
Pearl: The HX6930 comes with the Lithium Ion battery so if you leave it on the charge it doesn't affect the battery, however, with our experience it is better to deplete the battery before recharging it.
Me: Can I buy only the handle or do I need to purchase an entirely new set?
Pearl: I'm sorry, you would need to purchase the entire unit as we don't sell individual handle.
Me: Of course you don't.
Pearl: What best I could do is offer you a free brush head after you purchase a Sonicare unit.
Me: I was really hoping that Phillips would show some good faith and say, yes, it may be out of warranty, but our product is not repairable nor replaceable by our own design, nor do we provide any valuable recommendations on conditioning the battery for lasting use. I was hoping that they would send me a new brush handle for no charge or at a significant discount. 15% or a free brush head is insulting.
LITCHFIELD PARK, ARIZONA -- Purchase a Phillips 50 inch in March,2013. My television stopped working approximately July 11. I called the Phillips Manufacturing Repair, 1-866-309-0843 and was advised to email receipt in which I did on July 11. After faxing the receipt no one called me, therefore, I had to call them and set up for my television to be repaired, in which they gave me a vendor name and number to call.
I called Denny's Television and set up an appointment. The vendor did not show up nor called and we rescheduled three times before he showed up. The technician stated the television needs a new mother board and he stated I should be concerned as this seems to be a manufacturing defect and I should be concerned of repairs in the future with this television.
My kids and I have had no television since July 11 and my kids are out of school for the summer. This weekend was horrible with no television and being on vacation. I have called the Phillips Manufacturing Repair several times asking when can I find out details about repairing my television. I continue to hear well ma'am it takes time and there are other orders to be completed along with our expedition time of 2-3 days before a technician can read the report and act on it, as well as many other reasons.
I know everyone is busy and there is a timeframe, but I informed him to put himself in my shoes. I purchased a brand new television and it is broken within three months and my kids and I have nothing. I brought a Phillips brand as I thought they were an excellent brand and have longevity. I am a single parent and I try to spend my money on a good solid product, in which, I thought I did.
I apologize but I do not feel there is a sense of any type of urgency or commitment to the product and service I have received. Based on what the technician stated, I would like to have my television replaced.
As stated below on your Phillips website: creating a strong and trusted Philips brand with market access all over the world We have a leading global brand, which is highly trusted across the world.
Please help me in getting a television for my kids and I that we deserve and have paid for. I still have not received any information on the repair.
Ollie Smith
Philips Electronics: Why NOT to purchase:
Well hello all of you tech savvy individuals out to purchase the latest innovations from companies such as RCA, Philips, Olevia etc. I just thought I'd make the purchasing research that much easier by providing some information regarding my personal experience with the Philips Magnavox Corporation.
I'd purchased a 42" Philips Plasma television in late February 2008 and was absolutely ecstatic about it! I brought it home, plugged it in and was ready to watch some High Definition basketball. Little to my surprise I found blue splotches up in the left corner that would appear and reappear throughout this experience. Well, at this point, I should've just returned it and been done with it but I really like it and it was a great deal so I thought I'd give customer service a call. They assured me it would be no problem to get that fixed under warranty and they gave us the information we needed to set up an appointment to have it picked up. So we called and it was picked up by the local service center. So far, this sounds like an average TV buying experience; it gets better so just hold on.
Well the TV repair shop decided it was in need of a part, that so happened to be on back order. We were unhappy with this response but these things happen so we waited and waited and waited some more. Finally it was D-day, we called and were assured the part was on its way. They said it might take up to 10 business days to ship so we were patient and we continued to wait. Finally after about 13 business days I decided to call Philips. To my surprise, the part was never shipped and had actually not even come off of back order yet. At this point, I'm beginning to become a bit angry. So, since Philips just has the highest respect on how their customer service is handled they actually assign you a customer care associate and I was told mine would be calling me in 2-3 business days and we'd get it all taken care of.
So, again, I waited. It had been 3 days, no call. I decided to call them back again and apparently I still had not been assigned a customer care associate. They apologized for my inconvenience and then assured me that my case had been escalated and that a customer care associate would be calling me the very next day. Well, this process went on for about 10 days. The best part about this is that everybody I had talked to in the Customer Service department (not to be confused with the Customer Care department) had told me I had to wait for my Customer Care associate to call me back. Finally, somebody informed me that the customer care department was just too busy to assign me to someone and that I would hear from them just as soon as this was possible. Still no call yet I had finally persuaded someone to give me more information without my customer care associate. They told me that my part was still on backorder for 5 more days! Well, I had no customer care associate and no part. I am NOT happy. This is where the story continues to get MUCH better...
Finally, it was the day! The part was off of backorder and it had been shipped! So, the repair shop received the part and indeed assured me I'd have my TV back in a matter of 2 days, I was very happy to hear this considering all the bad news I'd heard before. It was almost like Christmas morning when I went to pick it up! We brought it home, hooked up our new surround sound to it and rented an action flick. We began to watch and then noticed yet again our little blue splotch was STILL ON THE TV! It had not been fixed. Well, I'm unhappy, angry and completely dissatisfied with my experience. I had pledged to NEVER buy another Philips again. I figured that I would call, talk to my customer care representative (that was finally assigned 2 days after my part had shipped) and that they would apologize and reassure me they would just send me a new one and make everything right. This was a very WRONG assumption!
Well first of all, my customer care person was actually sick and had lost her voice so she could not help me. I asked if there was someone else who could help me considering the circumstances and finally someone told me my next steps. I would first, have to contact a different repair shop and then I would have to make a new appointment to get the TV fixed. This new repair shop is 22 miles away from where I live. I had explained to the man on the phone that it would take me a minimum of 40 minutes to drive there and he said well that's the closest one besides the repair shop I had already used. So I continued to talk to him and let him know the process I'd already been through and I asked why I should have to wait longer for my TV to be fixed when it wasn't my fault that the repair shop they contracted didn't do their job.
All I got was well it's the warranty, we have to try to fix it first and then if it's not fixed after 90 BUSINESS DAYS, yes that's right 90 business days, that then they would possibly offer me a new TV to replace my broken one. So, I have decided to return the TV and to NEVER, EVER let myself or anybody I know purchase a Philips EVER, EVER again!
I owned the Sonicare EssenceToothbrush which was supposed to be one of the upper end lines of it's toothbrush products. It lasted less than a year and a half be fore it would not charge or turn on. I bought the Xtreme brand of Sonicare and it lasted less than two months before it stopped working. It would run for only a few seconds and turn off. When I called the company their attitude was quite non concerning and very unhelpful. The offered to replace the less expensive product but not the product that I paid the higher price for. The manager I spoke to presented a non-concerned attitude and basically told me to take their offer or not.
They would not replace the more expensive product. I will never buy another Socicare product again.
OHIO -- I received this as a Christmas gift & the CD player never worked. I called & they said they would send a replacement & I would send the defective one back. It was going to take 10 to 15 business days. I waited & called on the 15th day. I was told they couldn't find any record of it being shipped & they would have to send a request to corporate to find out the problem & they would call me. One more week & no call.
I call them & again I am told it would have to be sent to a supervisor at corporate. I ask to speak to a supervisor & he said he would expedite the request!!! I am baffled they can't find a shipment request that is a month old!! Do they not have any kind of tracking!!
I finally receive a call 6 weeks after my original call saying that they are out of stock on this. Unbelievable I will never buy a product from them. Their customer service is awful!!!!!!
GROVEPORT, OHIO -- My toothbrush quit working a short time after the warranty ended. I called sonicare and they said that they would honor the warranty because I had purchased other products from them in the past. I was sent the first replacement and the brush worked for a week and then it would not recharge. I called them again and they said that they would send me another one and the same thing happened again. I contacted them again and they said that they couldn't help me, but after telling them that I was afraid to purchase their products again they decided to send me another one and guess what, same thing happened again. I sent the first replacement back to them and now I am going to mail the other two back. These tooth brushes were different than my original one because they had green stripes on them. All I can see is that these tooth brushed must all have very weak batteries in them because you can only charge them once and then they won't charge again. I am really mad because I have a box of four heads that I can't use now.
Purchased a 2010 rav4 v6 5 speed auto transmission, at 8000 miles it developed a transaxle whine at 40 mph. Took it back to the dealer, was told nothing was wrong with it. I was. told I hear it because I have a hearing aid. I called Toyota customer service, was told "take back to the dealer".Was never told of any memos on this problem. Took it back to the dealer and had the Transmission man take it for a ride with me. He heard the whine abd went back to the dealership. Pluged a laptop into the computer and said see nothing wrong with it, a computer will not show a whine if trany is shifting collectly. Called Toyota again, was told the same thing"TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER".Was never told yet of any memo to the dealer. Iwas discussed with the rav4 because of this whine which had gotten worse. Finally traded it off. While on vacation this summer I stopped at a Toyota dealer up north and asked if they ever had any problems with awhine in the rav4.Showed me memo # T-SB-0192-10 that showed about a whine in the transmissions of 2006-2010 rav4s, dated July 15 2010.I was angry because I got rid of a good vehicle that should have been fixed, but they lied to me about it. The transmission man should be fired for his lyies. Spoke with the owner of Phillips Toyota, He said he would look into it and call me. Haven't heard from him since. Called Toyota and advised I was lied to by the dealer and why I was not told there was a memo to the dealers to fix the whine. I was told by some idiot there"WE DIDN'T TELL YOU TO GET RID OF IT".Don't go to this dealer with a problem, you to may be lied too!
I want to write and worn everyone that when you purchase the cables needed to install your electronic components the manufacturers of the cables do not warranty any damage the cable causes your equipment. Here is a description of my experience.
I purchase an RCA DVD player and all the cables need to install. This included the fiber optics cable and HDMI cable. After installing the unit and turning the power on it instantly smoked and shorted out. I returned to the place of purchase and they happily exchange the player. I installed the second player and it also instatly smoked and shorted out. I returned to the place of purchase and of course they did not want to exchange again but asked me to contact the manufacturer (RCA). I decided to purchase another DVD player and try one more time. The differnce was I turned the unit on and installed the cables one at a time, as soon as I installed the HDMI cable the unit smoked and shorted out.
I contacted Philips via their on line customer care site. Their response was very quick, however they told me the best they could do was to replace the defective cable and quoted the warranty information. "Philips warrants that this product shall be free from defects in material, workmanship and assembly, under normal use, in accordance with the specifications and warnings, for a period of one year from the date of purchase.
This warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the product, and is not transferable. To exercise your rights under this warranty, you must provide proof of purchase in the form of an original sales receipt that shows the product name and the date of purchase.
THERE ARE NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. Philips liability is limited to repair or, at its sole option, replacement of the product. Incidental, special and consequential damages are disclaimed where permitted by law. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state."
I have since purchased a fourth RCA DVD player and new cable and everything is working great.
So I really don't need the HDMI cable that Philips wants to send me. I would like to be compensated for the cost I incurred to replace the cable and the brand new RCA DVD players.
So I paid three times the price for a working DVD player and twice the price for a working HDMI cable.
I do not want to contact RCA because it was not a defective player. This has been a very disappointing process. I do not intend to purchase any additional products from Philips Electronics.
I owned an old Sonicare for many years. It was a great product. But that was before Phillips bought the company.
After five years, I purchased a new one, now branded "Phillips Sonicare". It failed in a year. They replaced it. The replacement has now failed a few months later. They refuse to replace it again.
What's interesting is that I had inadvertently called the professional customer service line (for dentists and the like) a few minutes before that call. There I was told the replacement model they sent me had a known history of failures and they would replace it with an improved version. We started to get the replacement information and he found out I was a retail customer. He said he couldn't do it and gave me a different number where, he said, they would take care of it. A that line (retail customer service) they told me that there was no problem with the unit and they would not replace it. This despite the fact that it was only nine months old and had a documented history of failures. When I told them what I had been told by the other guy, the response was that he was wrong, that no one at Phillips would ever say that.
Clearly, there is one company line for dentists who shill these things and get freebies for their staffs, and another company line for consumers who actually buy them.
This is the most unsanitary electric toothbrush I've ever used. Red gelatinous moldy stuff grew in the compartments. Very difficult to clean.
I've been using Sonicare since 1994. This was a new model intended to replace the one I'd been using for quite a while, until the rechargeable battery died. Never had a problem with mold and bacteria on that electric toothbrush. So, this new one was disappointing and disgusting.
The Optiva Corporation created this product. Philips Corporation purchased that company in 2000. Herein lies the problem.
I called Phlips to complain about the problems with the model. I was told that one needs to remove the brush head after every use and let it air dry. Then, wash the complete unit every week with mild soap.
In my opinion, this is entirely too much maintenance for a toothbrush--especially since the maintenance is intended to address a design flaw which makes mold and other ugly things grow in the product. Even with the maintenance, I would not trust that I could keep it clean.
A company representative told me that the design flaws have been addressed in newer models, but she refused to offer me a replacement or even a discount to purchase a new and improved model, or any remuneration to address my displeasure with this product.
Philips Sonicare could have made things right and kept a loyal customer. They didn't bother.
So, I will not purchase a Philips Sonicare tooth brush again and I would advise others not to as well.

Kind: | Building |
Needed HM: | None |

[show]Black and White
N's Castle is a location that appears after you defeat the Elite Four. You encounter Reshiram or Zekrom here depending on the version of the game being played (Reshiram: Pokémon Black; Zekrom: Pokémon White). To go there, you must beat all of the Elite Four members of Unova and then walk into the blue circle around the statue and press A. It will lower and there will be a set of stairs. N's Castle is at the top. You will see N talking to Alder. Dark clouds float above.
When you walk up the black steps, you will see the sages for Team Plasma, and then all of the Gym Leaders (excluding Cilan, Cress, and Chili. Bianca later explains that by the time she got to Striaton City to get them everything at N's Castle was over.), Alder, and Cheren confront the Sages. To the left of the Sages, you will see a flight of steps to lead to the next part of N's Castle.
After 3 flights of stairs, Team Plasma's Shadow Triad will appear and tell you that N is in that room with Zekrom/Reshiram. When you enter, you will see a 3D scene of Zekrom/Reshiram (The one that appears will be under the control of N). Then the Light Stone/Dark Stone appears from your bag and transforms into Reshiram/Zekrom, respectively, with yet another 3D scene. Once you catch it, you will have the ability to switch out one of your Pokémon in your Party for Zekrom/Reshiram and put the other Pokémon in the PC Box. Afterward, N heals your Pokémon and then battles you. When you defeat N, Ghetsis appears, and he battles you. Once you defeat Ghetsis, the game will end with the Shadow Triad whisking Ghestis away, and N flys off on Reshiram/Zekrom. If either of them defeats you, talking to the grunt in the Pokemon league PC/Mart is the only way to return to N's castle, since the man at the front of the League will not let you walk in there to go by foot.
After the game ends, if you battle the Elite Four again, N's Castle is inaccessible. Alder's room is as far as you can go from there on. When the black steps connected the castle to Pokemon league, it damaged the Pokemon league and dark clouds are above N's castle with lightning the pillars where damaged by Zeckrom/Reshiram's ability depending on which version because it was done by one under N's control and the one that N controls depends on which version you have and N's castle is the final N battle and the only battle you have with N where N can heal his Pokemon.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details may follow. |
After the player has defeated the Elite Four, Hugh's sister says that she spotted a Zoroark near Victory Road. Upon following it, it leads the player to the ruins of N's Castle, where N has been staying. N takes the player to the spot where he battled against Hilbert/Hilda two years before and challenges the player to a battle against his ZekromB2/ReshiramW2. After he is defeated, he reverts his dragon to its dormant form and gives it to the player so they can revive and capture it in Dragonspiral Tower.
After capturing ZekromB2/ReshiramW2 and Kyurem, and riding the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel with N, he can be rematched at his castle with a full team that differs depending on the season.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here. |
- Oddly in Pokémon Black and White 2, N's Castle has only two floors, the first floor is N's Playroom while the second is the Throne Room where he battles Hilbert/Hilda. In Black and White, it has four floors.
- This could because the lower two floors were destroyed in whatever event caused the castle's collapse.
- N's Castle only appears once, disappearing immediantly after you complete your task.

The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.

The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.

Thigh high compression stockings are a traditional means of providing compression and support to the leg in helping to manage and treat lower extremity Lymphedema, deep vein thrombosis ("DVT") and venous insufficiencies, or for simple swelling, tired and aching feet. (read more)
Thigh high compression stockings are rated as to the amount of compression they apply, and it is important to choose the correct compression level that is required. Compression is measured in units referred to as millimeters of mercury or "mmHg", and should selected for treatment as follows.
While thigh high compression stockings may be difficult to don and take off, there are an array of donning and doffing aids which will help the patient to easily use them. Also be sure to protect your investment by using detergents that are specially formulated for compression garments.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
really dark trying to find the place when we arrived. Lights and fuses blew when we first switched the lights on. Mattress on double bed was sooooo worn we could feel the springs through it. the bewd was small, way too hard and the thin mattress was apaulling, we asked for another but was given a quilt to put underneath. indoor heated pool was really cold and the hot tub was too cold on eth last day.
Room was clean but had an unusual aroma and a very smelly dishwasher.
On arrival, our oven didnt light. So one of the staff came and looked at the oven - didnt really know what he was doing. Eventually he gave us a lighter so we could manually light the oven. The double bed was broken which we did not discover until late at night. It was the bottom half which was all caved in. We reported this and the oven again to reception. They promised the maintenance man would visit our accomodation and deal with the issues. This didnt happen. We complained again to reception. They then gave us 2 sets of keys to other chalets. We went to look at them and discovered they were in a worse state than our chalet. One chalets oven all the controls were melted and didnt light. One of the chalets all the air vents had been blocked up with tissue. We decided to stick with our original chalet and make the best of a bad situation. The bed situation could easily have been rectified by switching the faulty end with another bed in on of the many unoccupied chalets. The bar closed early every night, which was a disappointment. The whole campsite was looking very tired and dated.
Great place good swimming pool and Jim and location.
some area are getting to the point of updating such as carpet in main building and outdoor pool had not been cleaned for some time, but indoor pool and other facilities were great.
Lovely long weekend break which was very good value for money. The weather was excellent for the time of year and the hot tub a real treat. Everything was clean and accommodation spacious. The pool and sports complex is a bonus. Remember to take some food with you if you plan to arrive late. The centre could do with a small shop.
Lodges are a great size and the hot tub makes for an enjoyable break.
Love the location and site, not enough staff so club/ bar was closed,
Accommodation was lovely and clean for the money we played however children's play area been out of action since at least the summer, was told in the bar they were no longer serving food as it was quiet so they decided to close early!!! I was there with my 16mth old so going out not an option! When I complained reception staff most unhelpful! Oh and swimming pool was far too cold my daughter was shivering so had to get out
This was our second visit and we will definatly be going again..
Good value for the price we paid, especially with having a hot tub in our apartment. If I had paid more than I did I would have been slightly disappointed. The rooms were very very spacious & cooking facilities were good if you don't want to eat out. It's a bit far away from most points of interest on the island. I personally didn't really like the IOW and won't be going back in a hurry. But if you want somewhere cheap to stay & use as a base then this is ideal. The apartment we stayed in which was the Solent plus 2 was in desperate need of a face lift!!!
Ivbooked the villa before we saw all the reviews and after reading them I almost didn't go I don't holiday in Britain because of bad experiences in the past! We are so pleased tho that we did go, everything about it was great. I can only assume that improvements have been made or just a lot of miserable people like to complain, for no reason !
Very nice bungalow with hot tub. Disappointing was the facilities on site were closed by 8pm meaning we had to drive to eat out etc.
The lack of WiFi to the chalet was the fly in the ointment, given the poor coverage by mobile service operators in the Iske of Wight and the somewhat patchy availability in your cafe. The staff were great... just hampered in their ability to be helpful by the unavailability of facilities. Loved the peace and the red squirrel I saw early one morning
The chalet was very spacious and really nicely decorated, to be honest it was much better than we had expected! We spent most of our holiday out and about so didn't make much use of the onsite facilities but of what we did see it was all very nice. The only reason I knocked a couple of marks off of the location and surroundings was because there appear to be quite a few permanent residents living amongst the holiday chalets in more run down properties with washing hanging out etc. It didn't really bother me but my husband thought it made it feel a bit uncomfortable. When we arrived, there was no cot and high chair in our room even though we had paid for them. However, this was quickly resolved with a call down to reception. In fairness, we were allowed to check in early so they may not have got around to delivering them yet.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very homely & welcoming and would definitely go back! In short excellent accommodation in a lovely setting.
Excellent.Could do with some lights on the approach road.
brilliant for us, we were able to take the dog on lots of walks unfortunately our stay wasn't long enough ;)
Amazing picturesque place, we married abroad so we didn't have much of a honeymoon so we booked a weekend here without our children to have a short honeymoon. I was gutted when I missed out on the last honeymoon suite while waiting for money to transfer to my credit card however the couples suit was beautiful. There was wine and chocolates for us on arrival to our very clean cottage and the manager sent us a bottle of champagne after learning we were there for a honeymoon. A visit to the waterfalls is a must!! Although we had to cut our time short due to an emergency with one of our little girls we had a fantastic time, the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Beautiful location, excellent base for visiting the show caves and warm welcome from staff. Visited Waterfall county and the steam railway from here too.
wonderful, 4th vist perfect everytime
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we were welcomed and treated as if we were family. There was so much to do no matter the weather.
We had a wonderful stay and wanted to stay for longer. The site was clean tidy and the staff were increadibly helpful.
The location of the cottages is ideal for visiting local attraction and right on the doorstep of the dinosaur park and show caves both of which are excellent and great value for money. There is also the farm with numerous animals so is great for children. The cottages are also only 45 minutes drive from the coast at Swansea bay and the Mumbles, great for a day out on the beach
Lovely location in fantastic surroundings
We have had our main holiday at this location for the past 15 years. There is a lot to do in the area, walking in the mountains, cycling routes and places of interest, especially the caves and Dinosaurs on site. There are pubs and restaurants within walking distance to 4 miles away.
Loverly beautiful place to stay. Only down side is we got lost on the way there as when we booked it there was no post code or address supplied by booking company, we had to google search it and got the wrong brecon cottages as there is more than one as we found out.
Stayed here several times lovely to relax and unwind
It's a top cottage, very good and helpful staff.
A great place to stay. But the gym needs an update.

I've heard many times that nothing happens in Gods world by mistake. I think now I understand.
He knows where we need to be and what has to happen to get us there. (I thought manipulation was against the rules) We can't see it or understand it, but it's true.
That's why we are constantly striving to do the next right thing, and to strenghthen that consious contact with our Higher Power. The closer we are the less we question just what is the next right thing and what do I do about it. Some are told to stop and think. My problem is I think too much, and before you know it, I'm running the show again.
I don't know where he wants me, or why. All I know is that he does. I just have to trust him and do the best i can to stay in his will. It's not about me any more, it's about Life, the program, and whoever is out there that needs to know what ever it is I happen to know.
This recent experience has humbled me alot, I began to see things in a whole new light. I still have a long ways to go, but I'll get there one step at a time. One principle at a time and one day at a time. I spent a long time screwing me up, I just have to understand it's going to take a long time to straighten it out. And I can't do it, I have to let my Higher power do it. Thank you all for your suport these last couple days. I can't tell you how much knowing your all there has helped me.

FuckChristopher M. FairmanOhio State University (OSU) - Michael E. Moritz College of Law March 2006 Ohio State Public Law Working Paper No. 59 Center for Interdisciplinary Law and Policy Studies Working Paper Series No. 39 Abstract: This Article is as simple and provocative as its title suggests: it explores the legal implications of the word fuck. The intersection of the word fuck and the law is examined in four major areas: First Amendment, broadcast regulation, sexual harassment, and education. The legal implications from the use of fuck vary greatly with the context. To fully understand the legal power of fuck, the nonlegal sources of its power are tapped. Drawing upon the research of etymologists, linguists, lexicographers, psychoanalysts, and other social scientists, the visceral reaction to fuck can be explained by cultural taboo. Fuck is a taboo word. The taboo is so strong that it compels many to engage in self-censorship. This process of silence then enables small segments of the population to manipulate our rights under the guise of reflecting a greater community. Taboo is then institutionalized through law, yet at the same time is in tension with other identifiable legal rights. Understanding this relationship between law and taboo ultimately yields fuck jurisprudence.

Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) is an upcoming video game created by Rockstar Games. It will be the next instalment in the Grand Theft Auto series. The game is set in modern day Los Santos, San Andreas. A release date is not known, although it is presumed to be released in 2012 or 2013.
For an analysis of the Trailer, see here.
Official Information about GTA V
On 2 November 2011, Rockstar Games released a trailer for GTA V, showing a range of clips of the game.[1] The next day, Rockstar released the "official announcement":
We are very proud to officially announce that Grand Theft Auto V is in full development.
Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.
A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California.[2]
These two sources provide the only known information about the game:
- The game is set in modern-day Los Santos (based on Los Angeles) and surrounding countryside in the state of San Andreas.
- The cities of San Fierro or Las Venturas (the other cities in San Andreas) may not be included in GTA V. This might mean that the main story line takes place in Los Santos, but many fans have doubted that only Los Santos and some other parts of Southern California will be in the game, as Rockstar are known for various marketing tricks. It's possible that Rockstar are following a similar style of marketing, as in GTA: San Andreas, only Los Santos was shown with no evidence of any other cities, as a whole state was only a rumor, but eventually it was confirmed that San Fierro and Las Venturas existed.
- Los Santos and the surrounding areas have been completely remade; it is not a copy of the map from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. However from the trailers, the general outline seems to be the same, Downtown area being situated west of the East side, the rolling hills to the north with the Vinewood sign, outback with large mountain etc.
- Named locations include: Vinewood, Little Seoul, Los Puerta Freeway, Vespucci Beach, Downtown, Del Perro Freeway, East Los Santos and Los Santos Bay.
- The trailer also shows: planes, airships/blimps, trucks, jet-skis, mountainous countryside, convertible cars, mines and wind turbines.
- The city and surrounding areas appear to be thick with smog during late evening time.
- Many vehicles in the trailer appear to be directly from GTA IV, with some being redesigned, and many new ones have been created.
- The U.S. Interstate will be featured in the game, making it one of the few things not to be parodied and have its real-life form in a GTA game. This does not confirm that San Fierro, Las Venturas or any new cities will be in the game.
- The music in the trailer is "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake Overture" by Small Faces.[3]
- Crews will be carried over from Max Payne 3 into Grand Theft Auto V's multiplayer.[4]
- Planes are confirmed to be flyable in GTA V since there is more map space (Grand Theft Auto IV was to have planes as well, but due to restricted size, this was changed).[5]
- Bicycles will be returning to the Grand Theft Auto series.
- Several screenshots have been released by Rockstar in August 2012, in the categories of Transport, Leisure and Business.
- The Business screenshots show show a character/player holding onto the side of a truck, sitting on the doorway of a helicopter and two seats in a stunt plane. These could be scripted positions for the player in a mission, or they could be 2nd seats available in multiplayer.
A number of conclusions could be drawn from the trailer. The following points are assumptions, guesses or expectations rather than being official or confirmed.
- A man moved to Los Santos looking for a fresh start, retiring from "that line of work". He "bought a big house, came here, put my feet up, thought I'd be a dad like all the other dads", but fell back into a criminal lifestyle because of financial troubles (fitting into the theme of "the almighty dollar").
- A dog is seen in the beginning of the first GTA V trailer, suggesting that the game may include pets.
- "Los Puerta" might be another city in San Andreas, possibly based on San Diego. There is good reason to believe this because the highway sign shown is Interstate 5, a real-life U.S. Interstate in Los Angeles. The I-5 goes both through LA and San Diego, and in real-life a portion of the I-5 in Los Angeles is called the San Diego Freeway, and Los Puerta Freeway might be its GTA counterpart. Interstate 5 also passes through the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, but it's too early to tell whether those cities will be in the game.
- The robbers that are dressed as exterminators' target resembles the landmark shopping plaza on the corner of Rodeo Drive and Wilshire Blvd. in real-life Los Angeles.

Hints and guesses about GTA V
A number of possible clues have been found in previous GTA games and elsewhere to indicate what may be the setting and content of GTA V. Fans have also made a number of educated guesses.
- There has been no official release date announced yet, but there are many suggestions and potential leaks. For example, British retailer Zavvi lists the game for pre-order with the release date as 23 November 2012, although this could be just an educated guess.
- A number of sources are citing Ned Luke as the actor portraying the lead character, supposedly named Albert De Silva[6]. If this character is the man in the suit from the GTA V trailer, who closely resembles Ned Luke, this character seems to be older and more successful than previous GTA protagonists who have started at the bottom of the food chain and worked their way up. This could indicate a significant change in the progression of the game from previous iterations. Alternatively, this character could be one of several playable characters through the course of the game, as has been rumoured, which would be a first since the GTA 1 Era.
- A leaked casting call lists several characters for a future game, which coincides with the name "Albert de Silva". These include mentally unstable hillbillies in "the sticks", a detailed cast of FBI agents, soccer moms and divorcees in the suburbs (perhaps de Silva's neighbors), celebrities, at least two Chinese Triad characters, and an 18-year-old slacker son for Albert named Kevin. Several young male Irish characters, including Eddie McReary who "lives with his cousin", hints very strongly at the return of Packie McReary. Niko Bellic's voice actor is in a dispute with Rockstar Games, and his return seems highly unlikely. James Pedeaston was released from prison and will make a comeback, but possibly with a different voice actor. There is a very strong focus on the political issue of legalized and/or medicinal marijuana.
- Gaming blog Kotaku quoted a source "familiar with the game" stating that the game will be set in Los Angeles (which was previously featured as Los Santos in GTA San Andreas and in Rockstar's crime-solving game LA Noire), and may feature multiple playable characters (similar to GTA IV's episodic contents that brought new characters and stories to the game).[7]
- On page thirteen of the Episodes from Liberty City guide book, there's a teaser that shows a broken heart made of the GTA IV box art and says "Liberty City, It's Over!" followed by "Next Stop..." and a small torn area that shows another poster behind, later revealed to be an advert for Mollis. The torn area has been noted as being in the shape of France. It also says in the right lower corner in a red box "Opens March Everywhere".
- According to reports, Rockstar Games recently registered new website domains that sound like they could belong to GTA V's in-game Internet, assuming the game inherits the feature from GTA IV. The domains are: CashForDeadDreams.com, SixFigureTemps.com, StopPayingYourMortgage.net, HammersteinFaust.com, and LifeInvader.com.[8]
- On the Rockstar Games Social Club in the GTA IV Story Gang section, there is an Air Sol plane ticket that was apparently purchased by Niko Bellic to fly from Liberty City to San Andreas. This hints that Niko Bellic might make an appearance in the game, most likely as a mission boss or supporting character.
- Take-Two Interactive revealed they are expecting at least $2.00 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The last time this happened was during the release of GTA IV, which reached $2.08 per share. Income only reached $1.06 per share during the release of Red Dead Redemption, and is projected to only reach $0.35 for the current fiscal year. It is expected that only a GTA game is able to bring this level of success to T2, which implies one must be planned for release in fiscal year 2012.
- According to dualshocknexus.com there are rumors that both Niko Bellic and Carl Johnson will return.[9], although this is unlikely as the GTA III era is considered complete and Niko Bellic's voice actor was involved in a pay dispute with Rockstar, the reason that he wasn't invited back to record new dialogue for GTA IV's DLC[10]. However there is nothing to suggest that he hasn't resolved these issues. Also: Young Maylay, the voice actor of CJ, denied on twitter that he is going to be in GTA V [11].
- In the Firefly Island amusement park in Grand Theft Auto IV, located quite near the miniature golf course, there is a fairground ride with a backdrop that features a collage of screenshots from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: the Vinewood Sign, a Hydra hovering in front of the Los Santos skyline, and a Shamal flying over the countryside. The similarity of this mural and the end of the GTA V trailer (where a private jet flies over the Vinewood Sign and towards Los Santos) has lead many to believe that the mural was a deliberate hint towards the location of GTA V, suggesting that GTA V has been in production since the release of GTA IV, or that the game's location was planned at that time.
- The internal files of Max Payne 3's list some vehicles from GTA games (including Patriot, Rancher, and Willard) alongside some new vehicle names (such as "bobsleigh", "carga", "cs2000", and "winky"). As Max Payne 3 and GTA V are interlinked, particularly with multiplayer crews, it is believed that these may be some vehicles from GTA V [12].
- A possible easter egg in Max Payne 3 also hints towards potential vehicles in GTA V. In-game on a pin board, there are four images of aircraft, none of which are seen in Max Payne 3. Two of these aircraft however bear a striking resemblance to the ones seen in the GTA V trailer, namely the private jet and the fighter jet. The other plane appears to be based on a C-130 Hercules, and judging by further files found in Max Payne 3, could possibly be the Andromada.[13]
- IGN has made a list of rumors and leaks that have been reported.
- A part from the trailer has shown up in teaser trailer for Gamescon at the 1:50 mark. This has lead some to believe that new information will be confirmed at the event which takes place in August 15-19 in Cologne, Germany.
- In regard to the lack of information for Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar stated: "We are sorry if you find this frustrating, but please understand, we don't do this because we 'don't care about our fans' 'don't respect our fans' 'hate GTA fans' etc, — precisely the opposite! We do it because we want to make sure we only release 100% correct information, and because we want to keep plenty back for the actual game release so there are still lots of surprises when you play it. We just have not been in a position to show more of the game than the trailer and will not be for a while yet. We will try and get some more screens for you soon and then another trailer when we are ready." [14]
- During Take Two's Q1 FY13 earnings call, they stated that Rockstar was "making substantial progress" on GTA V however a release date and what consoles it will be available on is still "TBA". [15]

Bailey, Nicasio seek command in rubber match
Starters look to limit walks as three-game set wraps up in Cincinnati
Reds right-handed starter Homer Bailey and Rockies righty starter Juan Nicasio, who will face each other Sunday afternoon in the rubber match of a three-game set at Great American Ball Park, were not spot-on with their command in their latest starts.
Bailey walked five, including one intentionally, over six innings and threw 110 pitches in a no-decision as the Reds fell to the Red Sox, 4-3, in 12 innings.
"They had some really good at-bats," Bailey said. "Of course, I was kind of all over the place, and they took advantage of it. I had several walks, which is kind of uncharacteristic of me. … It was just one of those games that I had to grind out."
Nicasio came out better.
He also walked five, against the Rangers. To his credit, he did not let that hurt him. Nicasio gave up just two hits and a run as the Rockies coasted to a 12-1 victory at Coors Field.
Nicasio has won his past two starts, going seven strong innings and driving in three runs in a 7-4 victory over the Mets on May 1.
It appears the key for Nicasio is getting through the sixth inning. Of his 62 career starts, Nicasio has pitched six or more innings 26 times. In those games, he is 14-2 with a 2.08 ERA, with wins in his past seven decisions of six or more innings.
Reds: Hamilton could return to lineup
Entering Sunday, Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton had not been in the starting lineup for eight days since he sprained two knuckles on his left hand on May 1 while making a diving catch. Hamilton had a pinch-hit double in the eighth inning Friday night during Cincinnati's win in the series opener, but manager Bryan Price was not ready to start him on Saturday.
"We're still evaluating there just to make sure he's 100 percent, 100 percent," Price said. "A funny thing Dusty [Baker] used to say was that when you feel like a guy is ready, you give him one more extra day. I think all things considered, one extra day in this case allows him to get more swings right-handed, which is the side that's given him more trouble. You can expect him to be in there [Sunday]. I think that's safe to say."
Over his previous 18 games, Hamilton is batting .340 (18-for-53) with nine stolen bases. He has appeared in three games since his latest start either for defense, pinch-hitting or pinch-running.
Rockies: Arenado is still streaking
It does not have the panache of a hit streak, but Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado still has an active run of success.
Arenado's hit streak ended at a club-record 28 games on Friday night, but he reached on a ninth-inning walk. Arenado doubled twice Saturday night to extend his streak for reaching base to 30 games.
Arenado's current run is tied for the second-longest streak in the Majors this season, behind the Blue Jays' Jose Bautista's 37-game run.
Worth noting
• Reds relievers have the lowest total innings pitched in the Major Leagues this season. The club's starters entered Saturday tied for the Major League lead.
• The Rockies' five home runs Saturday night were one shy of the record for an opponent at Great American Ball Park. The Rockies had six last June 5, and the Pirates have hit six twice -- last Sept. 28 and this past April 14.
• Rockies right-hander Jordan Lyles, the winner after six effective innings Saturday night, joined the Yankees' Masahiro Tanaka as the only Major League starting pitchers with 5-0 records.
• The Reds' left-handed hitting Joey Votto homered off Lyles in the second inning Saturday night. It was Votto's first home run of the season off a right-hander and his second RBI of the season off a righty.
• This week started with Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki being named National League Player of the Month for April/May and Player of the Week for last week. He is hitting .515 (17-for-33) since May 1. His performance Saturday included a bunt single -- the 10th of this career but first since 2009 for a player who has battled leg muscle issues -- and his 11th homer of the season.
