Historical Traveler Reviews Radisson Blu Edwardian Berkshire London
Beware the breakfast rush!
Stayed here with some gal pals as a treat - wouldn't normally spend this much. Great location for shopping right on Oxford Street. Staff friendly enough but I did feel sorry for the girl at breakfast reception... we had to wait half an hour before we could be seated! I find this unacceptable at a "4* deluxe". The restaurant is far too small for the number of guests. Breakfast, once we finally got it, was good but I recommend going early or late (we came down for 9.30 which seemed to be rush hour resulting in a lot of unhappy hungry customers). The rooms themselves were of a high standard, lovely bathrooms (but where was our shower gel?!) and considering we were on Oxford Street I didn't notice much noise. I would stay here again but on a special offer as I think I could have got more for my money elsewhere.
Great locations, great rooms, small rooms
My wife, daughter, and I stayed here in July 2004. The front desk staff was reasonably nice. They arranged for a babysitter for us, although I had to arrange that before we arrived in London. The rooms must have been renovated rather recently, as they are very decorated very nicely and tastefully, although the room was a bit small.
The location is truly excellent. It is basically on a great shopping area on Oxford Street, next to the Bond Street subway stop, and just a few blocks from Hyde Park. It is a very safe area as well. I would definitely stay here again, although I am also fond of the Millenium Mayfair hotel on Grosvenor Square, which is nearby.
We got a good rate here on LastMinute.
Worst Service for the Price
My stay was not a night mare but a bad dream. The breakfast was $30- $38 and nothing in between. I am diabetic and needed ice or a fridge for my diabetes drinks.. I was charged for using the cooler of the refreshment bar... they charge if you move slightly the drinks... I never consumed one but was charged for moving them to cool my diabetes drinks.
They messed up my reservations and could not decide if I was to be charged for breakfast or not.. each day was an embarassing tete a tete about my reservation.. They used some other credit card for my payment and refused to show it to me and deleted it... Their menu was not available for service in the room as they were "out" even at the beginning of the service time. I ended up eating OUT to other restaurants just to survive... Their $30 breakfast was bare minimum buffet... I would have rather had one egg and toast for $10 than $30 of a miniumal buffet which they did not know who had access or not!
The consierge was not well versed on the area businesses... They did not complete my initial check in until days later.. did not ask for my reservation number....this went on and on!
They refused to hail taxis after 6pm. Their internet service in the room did not work.. and they charged me $10 to find out... They removed the charge after I asked it to be removed and then placed it back on. Then removed it again after lots of verbal interchange.. This included the breakfast problems. Lots of controversy with most services... None of the staff knew what the others were doing... Guests were often put out by having them wait for everything... They did not inform me of the internet service.. I had another guest tell me. I had to ask for a complimentary paper after I saw others received one. Their excuse everything was caused by a new person. There was no place to keep things cool like epi pens or diabetes drinks which had to suppliment my not buying their controversial breakfasts... they charge to cool things in their fridge.
It made my trip horrible.... you paid through the nose for incompetant service. The room was beautiful and all tastefully decorated and clean.... but it was like having the Marx Brothers running the place.. very insulting! AND pricey for what you received. I called Radisson when I returned hom and got a "bed bug officous" "I'm Sorry". Do not stay at this Radisson..It was my first time at a Radisson, I will never stay at one again. There are hotels which are far better for the $$..
Loved the Berkshire
Stayed in the Berkshire on 30th August 2004. It was the first time I stayed in a London hotel that I thought I would like to return to. Generally the London standard of hotels is very low unless you go for the super expensive. The location was excellent just off Oxford St (small roadway between Debenhams and Clinton cards, opposite Bond St station) Even though it was so central it was quiet and peaceful inside thanks to double glazing. Service was excellent, 30 mins after checking in the receptionist rang my room to check if everything was ok. I found the best rate on Radissons own website. The rate I got included breakfast (excellent) and a deluxe king sized bedroom with checkout at 4pm. Rate was �135+vat, on the late booking sites I would have only gotten a standard room and no breakfast for this price. Room was not huge but very clean and comfortable. No problems at check out.
Worst Service Ever
My wife and I have stayed in this hotel several times over the years --mainly because the location is superb (in the middle of Oxford St).
There must be new management. The service was ludicrous from the start. No one to help with bags, no one to check us in, no one to help with broken items in the room (there were three) and no soap in the bathroom.
The best example is the call we got at 11:30pm from a room service employee asking if he left the corkscrew in the room.
We had the do-not-disturb sign on.
Do they only have one corkscrew in the entire hotel?
When we checked-out the bill was totally wrong (in their favor). We were charged for multiple items never ordered -- and extra days. Due to the staff's inexperience with the computer system it took an hour to check-out without being overcharged. Not a good thing when you have a flight to catch at Heathrow.
We will absolutely NOT stay here again.
Good hotel in excellent location
We stayed on 23 July. Room was small but clean and comfortable with good bathroom and location is great - on doorstep for shopping and access to public transport to all areas. Lovely restaurants just round the back of the hotel too. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in too! Staff were helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.
Excellent Hotel in a wonderful location
Excellent hotel in a "can't be beaten" location. You are literally staying in the heart of London's shopping district of Oxford Street and nearby Regent Street. The hotel staff are very friendly and accommodating and the hotel is very clean. Bond Street tube station is just on the opposite side of the street and the Palladium is a five minute walk away on Argyll Street. I intend to stay here again on my next trip to London.
We Loved It
We were so pleased at the accomodations. My husband and 2 children stayed here for 1 week and loved every minute of it. I originally had reservations at another 5 star Radisson and after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor, I decided on the Berkshire. The service was wonderful.
After flying all night we arrived at our hotel around 12:00 noon they escorted us to the coffee lounge and while having a cup of coffee we were then checked in at our table. Our beds were turned down waiting for 4 very tired travelers. The hotel booked all our side trips and did not let us down in the least. Although with the sofa bed extended at night it was tight in the room the service was the trade off. The breakfast was terrific and all in all it was extremely comfortable. The beds and down comforters were very comfy at night. When returning to London again I will stay at the Berkshire.
Great Location Very Nice Hotel
THe hotel is very nice . The people are very accomidating. the location is one of the best in London. Most bus stops, underground station ,best shopping and resturants one to two short blocks away.
The Berkshire - Simply Super Excellent
My family and I stayed at the Radisson Edwardian Berkshire London between the 22nd July and the 29th July 2003. We were warmly received by reception and quickly given our room (room 417) even though we arrived around 5 hours earlier than scheduled. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the middle of Oxford Street close to all amenities including the underground (Bond Street Station), which is around two minutes on foot away from the hotel. Rooms are very comfortable and very clean. The buffet breakfast is magnificent and excellent (making you forget all about your diet!); service quick and efficient in an exceptional environment and very friendly staff. Staff at reception desk very efficient, friendly, helpful and very well acquainted with London giving us the best relevant information re travelling around and outside London. All staff very personal: something rarely found in other hotels, making us feel at home. Lord willing, when revisiting London hopefully next year, our hotel will definitely be the Berkshire. A big thank you to all the staff. You are great! You made our holiday a real big treat. Looking forward to see you all next year. Thanks once again. Frank Camilleri - Malta

Our last day in Germany we woke up to SNOW. So I guess it really was time to get out of town. The train from Frankfurt to Brussells and the EUROSTAR to London was a pleasant way to pass a day. Our hotel is few steps off Oxford Street so it is easy to get around, sort of, the crowds are crazy.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DKUSTRA62 Very disappointed this time i reviewed this hotel in Jan and it was great,this stay not so much, i know the hotel was sold out,but room this time was very small,last time was upgraded to loft unit,this time given very small room,as for the room1024 it missing fire grate so very unsafe with wires showing,as it was very dangerous,i talked to someone who said they would fix it,but no one showed up(not great with small kids)one on the nights i went to front desk to ask for a pencil as my son needed one for work and front staff girl was very rude and told me Westin has no pencil in all the hotel(really)not one in the back office,also i know it was not the fault but elevator broken on Sunday to get to underground parking,very hard to access anything and to top it all off it was raining and the hotel was out of umbrellas, it just seemed no one cares,anyway i must be a gluten for punishment as i am going back next weekend April 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by EddyGoldmember This hotel still meets my lofty expectations We've used this hotel almost every year for eight years. Didn't stay last year but I heard internet was free then. Not this year. As for the ski valet charge, I understand that skis could damage a room, and you have to pay people to sort them for hotel guests. $9 per pair per day per guest far exceeds the employee costs. I suspect profit margins have dwindled, perhaps due to some snowless months. I put my skis in my car, and was happy not to wait in line at the valet in the AM. $30 parking per day represents a 33% increase during my eight year courtship of this hotel, again suggesting profit gaps. If you're gold or platinum, decline your gift and get free wifi. You may have to ask about enhanced rooms, as the girl I dealt with seemed unaware of this aspect of gold and platinum benefits. (If she was aware she didn't offer the enhanced room, but provided one when I asked) I will continue to stay at this hotel. March 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by lizzie63 First visit to Whistler Excellent location but hotel a little tired. My only real complaint was the wifi. We up graded to Comprehensive bundle & we still had problems with internet connection dropping in & out. Facilities in the hotel complex were very good & valet ski service was also excellent. March 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ben2012 Nice resort Great facility near the slopes. Warm and cozy rooms - the loft with kitchenette is a nice touch. The $30 parking charge is a little expensive given most guests much drive up to the facility. February 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JFC111 Good location for skiing - petty charges The hotel has a great location next to the ski lifts and village. We went on the President's Day week (school break). Overall we liked the hotel. We were annoyed however at the policy of not allowing skis in the rooms, and "offering" instead a valet-service solution that costs $9/day per pair of skis. This is ridiculous; the hotel should either allow skis in the rooms or provide a free alternate solution. Additionally, they wanted to charge $14/day for internet access in the room; again, this should be a free service. In sum, we liked the hotel, but they should do away with their petty charges for ski storage and internet access...these can add north of $50/day to your bill. February 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JKNewcastle Disappointed.. Overall enjoyed our stay as our room and the hotel facilities (lobby and pool) were nice. Our biggest issue was on check-in. They were running a big cat to clear the snow and it seemed determined to run us over. Once in, the valets proceeded to box us in with other cars and not provide any assistance. Finally, we were then directed to self park the car, and as the valet didn't know the height of the garage, he said he would check as we pulled in. As it turned out, with our skis on the rack, it was too high. The valet then said he would help pull them off, but then proceeded to throw the wet & muddy skis into the back of our Denali on top of our clean luggage and coats. After we parked we then had to carry the skis up to the ski valet! Our disappointment continued, when we heard that there were separate charges for Wifi, parking and ski valet and I was not impressed at all with the front desk. I would say the ski valet staff, were always nice and having the ability to drop the skis at the outside tent was great. The ski valet, bellman and front desk staff performed well on check-out. The hotel location is great both for skiing and access to the Village. Whistler is so beautiful - we will definitely be back. February 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Marting Nickel and dimed Rooms are showing their age, had to pay to store our skis! Internet access is extra and doesn't work during peak times (like late afternoon when unwinding after a day of skiing). And the thermostat needed a manual for operation and still had a mind of its own. Thank goodness the skiing was great and Whistler shone through as it always does. February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by POD2014 Exceeded Expectations Was a little concerned reading previous reviews, but my family (including three teenagers) had a great experience - confessing that we reserved adjoining rooms. The weekend we visited had this property at capacity, but the staff kept up without the slightest hint of being overwhelmed. Thank you! February 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by markski56 Little annoyances add up to a negative experience. We have had good experiences staying here in the past but the staff training seems to have gone downhill. On arrival we were able to check in early although, the clerk did not inform me of the costs involved for parking and ski valet. We got into a suite but found that our request for a King Size bed was not met. I asked if there was one available and the desk clerk said yes but we would have to wait as it was not clean yet. She was kind enough to allow us to wait in the room and said she would contact us when it was ready, guaranteeing that it would be before 4 PM. Having not heard by 4 PM, my wife went down to find that the shift had changed and the new clerk knew nothing about it. Also, she insisted that my wife provide ID before allowing her to move to the King suite. The suite itself was clean and comfortable but well worn. For the cost and reputation, I believe the rooms are ready for a renovation. A couple of days later we came to drop our skis at the tent outside and the Westin employee there advised us that it was closed for the day and we would have to carry them in. When we brought them in I asked at the storage what time the valet service ended and was told 4:00 PM. I checked my cell phone to find it was 4:01!!! On departure, I checked the folio that had been emailed to me and found that I had been charged for one extra ski valet. I called down and admittedly we are not talking about a huge sum of money but the voice on the phone clearly conveyed "why are you bothering me with this?" Nevertheless, she agreed to make the adjustment and I later received an email stating that attached was my updated "final" folio. No change had been made. As you can see, none of these are serious problems however they convey a message that we are not valued as customers. This is a shame as we had been very impressed with the service in the past. February 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SJA54 a great ski vacation Location cannot be beat -- right in Whistler and steps to the gondola. Property is quite nice. SPG recognition is great (we received an upgrade over Christmas week). Standard rooms are quite nice and some of the upgraded rooms are stunning, Concierge team was excellent and gave us a lot of help pre-arrival -- airport transport and dinner reservations. Have stayed several times and would definitely return. February 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nicho1 Wonderful Ski Holiday with my Family Having read a number of previous reviews on SPG and Trip Advisor, I was concerned about what we might experience at this hotel. My expectations are high as I was travelling a long way and stay in a lot of hotels annually. I would have to say our experience at the Westin Whistler was absolutely wonderful, the one bedroom suite was quiet, clean and really comfortable. The cooking facilities were fine for four of us and suited our needs. The facilities including the spa, pool, gymnasium and ski concierge were all wonderful and I could not have been happier. January 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5��by DKUSTRA62 Another great stay Staff perfect,wonderful hotel,as a plat spg member,was given a upgrade,will be back in 2 weeks to enjoy the hotel again January 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Fedupwithmediocre Old and tired and out of control A one bedroom suite with water damaged ceiling in kitchen area, mould showing on ceiling through drywall, who knows how much behind drywall.....stove top controls bent, door to bedroom coming off hinges. Common areas: late night noise disruptions in hallways (3am), swimming pools and hot tub turned into massive snowball fight with at least a dozen children ( 8 to 12 yrs old) being allowed to run roughshod over everyone there, all while under the watch of their parents. No staff there to put stop to it. Simply unacceptable for a property of this supposed calibre. Will not recommend to anyone and will certainly not return. Just plain poorly run. January 13, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by HATAN Disaster When checking in was told hydro will be out overnight. Not told before arrival and given option of staying elsewhere. Fire alarms were set off when hydro came back at 7AM. Had to carry belongings down from seventh floor as elevators went out when fire alarm was set off. No coffee for the guests in the morning.(told to go next door) The worst hotel stay I have ever had. P.S. CHARGED FULL PRICE!!!!!!!. Two nights later stayed at another Westin and valet the rental. My windows were smashed out, costing me another kings randsome by renal company for the window. January 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TkSwiss81 It had its ups and downs Upon arrival we checked in and were treated rather rudely. We were never acknowledged for being Platinum members and were told there were no upgrades available for the 1st night. We were offered to switch to a 1 bedroom for a fee of $60 a night additional. We decided to pay the extra money as we were with our two teenage boys and needed the space. I am glad we switched rooms as the studio was way too small for the 4 of us. The 1 bedroom was great but please tell me why are there no hooks in the room? We would get home from skiing and everyone would lay their jackets,gloves,helmets all over the floor. It would be great if they had hooks! It was also great to have the kitchen and extra sink. Overall it was a nice stay but definitely didn't feel pampered by the staff in any way. January 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Doggylover Dog friendly Love being able to bring our dog on vacation. Great location. Rooms are pretty small. January 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by KellyMcn The worst stay at a hotel I am so disappointed with this hotel I do not know where to begin. The Management was not only unresponsive but rude and confrontational when approached. The room was at best sub-par for the price and I will never return to this Westin. The verdict is still out on other Westins for me. January 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Worms This hotel stay experience was disappointing Stayed 3 nights and found a few things that didn't meet my expectations. For this time of stay and the cost I guess I expected an awesome stay. The following things went wrong: The hotel lobby Wifi didn't work during our entire trip. Found cleaning bottle left in our room Requested the green program but the person who checked me in didn't add that request to the system Fruit water was not available in the lobby when I checked in Bed was not as comfortable as I expected No SPG rooms, no water, no newspaper The room tap water tasted horrible. Outside jacuzzi were missing bubbles even with the pumps turned on December 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gateway Westin as part of SPG Staying Dec 22nd through 28th , points stay with Plat 35% discount. The fact that it's even bookable on points for such a demand time of the year says a lot about the SPG loyalty program . The staff are swamped , bell hops going steady , breakfast staff terrific .Comments about front desk staff aren't based on knowledge of how Whistler business's are staffed , there are no lifers , turnover is the norm and I'm sure the Westin does their best to educate them about programs , benefits and entitlements. Westin has something special happening every day of our stay and they do it well. December 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Concord customer service We booked for four nights and extended one more night. The room was not cleaned the last day even though there was no DND. When we talked to FD at check out she told us there was "nothing I can do." She did not offer any compensation from the room rate. December 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by observer Uncoordinated Great property and have stayed here numerous times over the years and experience has generally been good, consistent with the majority of reviews here. This last stay was an exception and I feel compelled to write this as a caution to others. I made two separate reservations on Starpoints and I made a point to call SPG more than a month in advance to connect the two reservations. SPG assured me that the property had been contacted with these instructions. Upon arrival we were told we are only staying one night. We reminded them of our instructions and after some fumbling with the computer the front desk located a room for both nights (middle floor with no view or upgrades). The first night in our room we hung the Make A Green Choice tag on our door. In the morning I found the tag pushed back under our door with a slip notifying us we could not use this option on our last night. With the tag off the door we then got a knock later in the morning which woke my wife. I called Service Express immediately to explain we were staying in the room for two nights and did not need housekeeping. I was given an apology and that they would ensure this would be corrected. We went out for the day and returned around 5pm finding our room cleaned spotless. I called Service Express again to explain that we had chosen the Make A Green Choice option and did not want our room cleaned. Another apology and promise that we would still get the credit for the Green Choice program. I specifically asked for a voucher to be placed under my door (as you could tell at this stage I had lost all confidence that this would be communicated) which I was assured would happen. My concerns were confirmed as we never received the voucher. Upon checkout, the front desk was clueless as to what we have experienced. This is not a one-off issue limited to a particular individual. This lack of communication is systemic - from SPG to the Front Desk #1, from Front Desk to Housekeeping, from Service Rep #1 to Service Rep #2, from Service Rep #2 to Front Desk #2. Again, great property, and I would probably stay here again given this is the only Starwood property in the village, but if I had to make any sort of special request I would have no confidence it would be fulfilled.

Rated 5 out of 5 by joe3678 great weekend Great stay! The new Grill & Vine restaurant is a must for all visitors. Fantastic Food! December 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Andrea340 Moving in the wrong direction. Too many additional charges. Charging for internet that barely worked is outrageous and the $9 per day per person charge to store skis is just low end. The hotel is looking tired - the spa's relaxation room is pretty basic and our bathroom shower needed to have the grout repaired and a paint job. December 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RDandi Hotel and Staff were AMAZING This hotel is in the absolute perfect location in Whistler. The conference space was great and the catering was the best we've ever had.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AY66 Westin in December Really nice hotel with very attentive staff. My only negative comment concerns the lack of sound insulation between the rooms, particularly those with inter-connecting doors. We could hear what was happening in the next door room and we were woken by a child crying at 4am. Otherwise a nice hotel. December 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Papalorne What? There was dairy in my turkey wrap. I enjoyed my stay BUT, when I had breakfast in the restaurant on the 29th I ordered the turkey wrap and confirmed with my server that there was no dairy in the wrap. As I was part way through consuming my turkey wrap I discovered it contained cheese which was melted throughout, My server was no where to be found so I didn't get to confront him. Needless to say, I had issues the remainder of the day due to the dairy I had consumed. I was most uncomfortable during the conference I attended. If you have any idea what it is like to consume dairy when one is lactose intolerant, you'd understand. It was a waste of $30.00 because I could not eat my entire breakfast. December 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by guesswho Like the hotel Overall nice hotel. Only issue was finding power outlets for my phone and computer. There we no accessible outlets on or near the desk or nightstand without unplugging the lamps. November 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by vanariesboy Need to iron out the kinks We stayed here for the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend in October 2013. The hotel is a nice facility located right next to Skier's Plaza in Whistler Village, but service was lacking in a few areas. I had booked a studio suite and was not upgraded to a one-bedroom suite as a Platinum member, despite them being available. We did, however, receive a studio suite on the top floor with beautiful high ceilings. Having the sun shine through the window onto the Heavenly Bed in the morning was very nice. The restaurant was closed for renovations while we stayed, and the only available breakfast was through room service. This was a disaster for two out of the three nights we stayed. The Service Express operator didn't know what was included in the breakfast, and the order was delivered wrong twice. We waited over an hour for toast and juice which never arrived. We did, however, receive a handwritten card and a bottle of wine from the front desk manager for the trouble, which was a nice gesture. We were hoping for some help from the concierge on local fall restaurant deals, but he went on vacation beginning Saturday (of a long weekend??), which was unfortunate. We really enjoyed the bright and airy fitness centre, the indoor/outdoor pool, the outdoor hot tub, and the eucalyptus steam room, which I have recommended to many others. It was busy, though, so I can imagine how packed it must be during ski season. Overall, the facility and the location are great, so I think we'll be back. I hope they get the kinks ironed out for ski season. November 17, 2013

Henry Joost's and Ariel Schulman's Paranormal Activity 3
Here's the link to the published version of my review in my column at The Richmond Examiner:
Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)
There seems to be a big problem with horror films nowadays in that, when studios find an idea that ends up making a little money, they inevitably want to churn out more and more of the exact same product, whether the product is good or bad. Because of this, we have now had three "Paranormal Activity" films, each just as dull, if not more so, than the last. The idea is an interesting one, but not once has it been executed in an interesting manner, and this time is no exception.
This time around, a batch of tapes from Katie and Kristi's childhood are found (of course, these weren't found until now). These videos document their father, Dennis (Christopher Nicholas Smith), trying to find evidence of something strange going on in their house after he sees something mysterious in a tape of him with his wife, Julie (Lauren Bittner). This causes him to set up cameras in their bedroom as well as their daughters' bedroom, letting them run all day and night, checking the footage periodically.
In this footage, he starts to notice small things, like one of his daughters talking with an invisible friend, whom she calls Toby. However, stranger things begin to happen that show there may be cause for concern. Dennis tries to express these concerns to Julie, but she doesn't want to hear anything more about it as "Toby" has really began to scare their kids. She even refuses to watch some very strong evidence that there is indeed something happening in their house, evidence that shows that they aren't alone.
In the exact same fashion as the first two films, the paranormal activity starts out very low key. Strange noises are heard and unknown shapes are seen moving around in the halls. Eventually these events get larger in scale. Things begin to move, people are dragged around, ghosts in sheets appear (clichéd indeed, but done here in a somewhat well-executed effect), and in the film's most impressive effect, all the items of a kitchen vanish only to drop in moments later. Oddly enough however, there seemed to be even less going on in this entry than in the previous ones, which, for a film that depends on these kinds of scares, is a rather strange direction to go.
As usual, the main problem with this latest entry is that it is so incredibly slow-burning that the filmmakers seem to forget that they have an audience to entertain. If the intent was to build suspense until it hits some kind of high point, then for the third time in a row this series has failed. However, if the sole intension was to lull an entire audience to sleep, this series has succeeded on all three occasions.
The strange thing about this series is that the different filmmakers have not even attempted to change anything major about it throughout three films. The first is exactly like the second which are both exactly like the third. The only difference is the time that they occur, this one occurring in the late 80s when the victims of the first two films were children. That being said, you can truly say that if you've seen one, you've seen them all.
This is a series that is becoming just as parasitic as the "Saw" franchise. That's not saying it's nearly as bad as those films, but it's similar in that they are dirt-cheap to make, so if merely a few people go to see one of them, the studio will then have enough money to go ahead with yet another, again, regardless of quality, which, despite being very poor for the first two films of the "Paranormal Activity" series, hasn't stopped two more from being made.
There really just aren't any scares to be had here. Even people who normally find themselves scared at the smallest "boo" will find themselves drifting off less than halfway through the film. It runs only about 80 minutes, but you'll be wanting it to end long before that. Supposedly it was supposed to be longer than this, given that there were several scenes in the trailer that aren't in the final cut of the film. I suppose even these guys (directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman) realized that their pacing was suffering, leading them to cut some material. Thank goodness for small favors. 1.5/4 stars.

also shakedown, 1730, "impromptu bed made upon loose straw," from verbal phrase; see shake (v.) + down (adv.). Meaning "forced contribution" (1902) is from the verbal phrase in a slang sense "blackmail, extort" (1872). Meaning "a thorough search" is from 1914; perhaps from the notion of measuring corn. The oldest use of the verbal phrase shake down is "cause to totter and fall" (c.1400).
Old English sceacan "move (something) quickly to and fro, brandish; move the body or a part of it rapidly back and forth;" also "go, glide, hasten, flee, depart" (cf. sceacdom "flight"); of persons or parts of the body, "to tremble" especially from fever, cold, fear" (class VI strong verb; past tense scoc, past participle scacen), from Proto-Germanic *skakanan (cf. Old Norse, Swedish skaka, Danish skage "to shift, turn, veer"). No certain cognates outside Germanic, but some suggest a possible connection to Sanskrit khaj "to agitate, churn, stir about," Old Church Slavonic skoku "a leap, bound," Welsh ysgogi "move."
Of the earth in earthquakes, c.1300. Meaning "seize and shake (someone or something else)" is from early 14c. In reference to mixing ingredients, etc., by shaking a container from late 14c. Meaning "to rid oneself of by abrupt twists" is from c.1200, also in Middle English in reference to evading responsibility, etc. Meaning "weaken, impair" is from late 14c., on notion of "make unstable."
To shake hands dates from 1530s. Shake a (loose) leg "hurry up" first recorded 1904; shake a heel (sometimes foot) was an old way to say "to dance" (1660s); to shake (one's) elbow (1620s) meant "to gamble at dice." Phrase more _____ than you can shake a stick at is attested from 1818, American English. To shake (one's) head as a sign of disapproval is recorded from c.1300.
late 14c., "charge, onrush," from shake (v.). Meaning "a hard shock" is from 1560s. From 1580s as "act of shaking;" 1660s as "irregular vibration." The hand-grip salutation so called by 1712. As a figure of instantaneous action, it is recorded from 1816. Phrase fair shake "honest deal" is attested from 1830, American English. The shakes "nervous agitation" is from 1620s. Short for milk shake from 1911. Dismissive phrase no great shakes (1816, Byron) perhaps is from dicing.
Related Terms

An app that would track shopping habits would be nice, where you can enter, what you bought, where you bought it and how much it was, and then compare it to other places, perhaps a cloud part so that other people could compare their shopping as well and find the best prices.

what about taking a crappy app thats on the store, something that has great potential and doing your own version of it and making it 100x better in the process.
what type of direction would you go? video apps, news apps, information based or visually based apps? give us some ideas what area you like and what your good at and i can come up with some ideas for you

One of the most celebrated and unflinching chroniclers of modern life now explores, in this masterful collection of short stories, the grand theme of intimacy, love, and their failures.
With remarkable insight and candor, Richard Ford examines liaisons in and out and to the sides of marriage. An illicit visit to the Grand Canyon reveals a vastness even more profound. A couple weekending in Maine try to recapture the ardor that has disappeared from their life together. And on a spring evening, a young wife tells her husband of her affair with the host of the dinner party they're about to join. The rigorous intensity Ford brings to these vivid, unforgettable dramas marks this as his most powerfully arresting book to date–confirming the judgment of the New York Times Book Review that "nobody now writing looks more like an American classic."

Saved my hair!
September 23, 2013
I got a small 2oz trial bottle of this a while back. When pregnancy ravished my hair I was at my wit's end. I remembered the bottle that I had been given and set aside and decided to try it. OMG it made a world of difference. Before my hair was so dry and brittle and straw-like. Just one use of this returned my hair to its normal glossy, soft and silky state. I wasn't thrilled with the scent at first, but it's tolerable. I have very carefully rationed my little bottle of this until I could find it and order some.
Pros:makes hair soft and silky restores dry, damaged hair
Cons:not too crazy about the smell

Leaves my curly hair soft and smooth.
February 26, 2013
I use the Hi-Ya shampoo too- and wether I am wearing my hair naturally curly or straightening it, my hair feels silky from wet to dry. Styling and straightening is easier now and seems to dry quicker than when I used Body Shop conditioner. The Body Shop conditioner was nice but I found it too drying and switched to Cibu upon recommendation from my hair stylist. I have been using it now for 1 month and love it so much I just ordered the 32 oz size set. The conditioner does have an unusual scent, not unpleasant but not as nice as their shampoo - and certainly tolerable for all of the benefits. I am very happy with this product.

Miracle Worker!
October 30, 2012
I have been using this conditioner for a while now and I absolutely love it. The statement that it cuts your drying time is true, even if it is only by about 6-7 minutes. The scent is nice and light, but it is lasting throughout the day. My hair feels soft and managable after using it, and I can run my fingers through my hair without any knots. I will definitely continue using this!
Pros:Scent Managability Cuts drying time
Cons:Hard to get out of the bottle

Great Product, Hate the Bottle!
June 12, 2012
This product works great on my damaged hair. A little bit goes a long way and I have noticed a lot less breakage since I started using this shampoo & conditioner. The only reason that I didn't rate it higher is because I hate the bottle. It is really hard to squeeze this bottle to get the conditioner out. I end up having to unscrew the lid and slam it against my hand. Please change the bottle or add a pump!
Merchant Response:We agree with you about the bottle. Working on it! Thanks for the otherwise stellar review. Cibu Love
Pros:Conditions my fine hair weightlessly.
Cons:Hate the bottle! Cannot get the conditioner out.

You let me down, Hi-Ya!
February 10, 2012
I love the Cibu line and scent, so I'm pretty disappointed with this conditioner. I have "normal" hair. It will air dry with a slight wave. I colored my hair about 3 months ago, so I prefer moisturizing conditioners. For this conditioner, I need to use a TON of it and let it soak for several minutes. It's incredibly hard to brush my hair after too. It leaves my hair very tangled and sounds very dry while brushing. It's a fairly runny conditioner. I'm wondering if I bought a watered down bottle because it doesn't make any sense to me.
Pros:It has a light nice scent.
Cons:I have to use a ton of it. It leaves my hair very dry.

You can catch the future of the NBA tonight on Comcast SportsNet as the Bulls take on the Bucks at 7:30 p.m. It all begins with Bulls Pregame Live, where Mark Schanowski and Will Perdue will preview tonight's matchup. And stick with CSN after for Bulls Postgame Live for player reaction, highlights and analysis.
You've heard of Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins, Julius Randle, Joel Embiid, Dante Exum and Marcus Smart, just a handful of the expected Lottery picks who NBA general managers hope will change the course of their respective franchises. It's not a stretch, either. The 2014 NBA Draft may wind up being one of the best ever, rivaling the 1984 and 2003 drafts, which saw multiple Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers be selected in the Top 5.
[RELATED: The short- and long-term ramifications of the Luol Deng trade]
The Milwaukee Bucks almost certainly will select in the top 5 of this year's Lottery, but they have may gotten in on the future talent pool a year early with rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo. The 6-foot-9, wiry 19-year-old, accurately nicknamed the Greek Freak, is providing excitement, production on the court and hope for Bucks fans who hope "Alphabet" will be the steal of last season's draft, when the Bucks selected him 15th overall.
First off, Antetokounmpo has quite the personality. Check out this video from ESPN's Kevin Arnovitz, who interviewed Antetokounmpo via Skype about how his first season in the NBA -- and first year in the United States, by himself -- has gone. It's incredible. He speaks of idolizing Kevin Durant -- Antetokounmpo has drawn comparisons to the Thunder star in size and length -- how excited he was to earn his driver's permit in Milwaukee ("oh, I'm the best," he said of his ability to parallel park), how he's not even done growing, according to his doctors, and how his favorite Christmas present was a pair of Gucci shoes from Larry Sanders ("They're very nice. They're my first Gucci shoes. When the next rookie comes in, I want to take care of him," he said with a smile.) Watch the video. It's great.
[RELATED: Bulls committed to building around Derrick Rose]
Antetokounmpo is excited about his opportunity, and the Bucks are just excited about how the rookie is taking advantage of it.
In his first season, Antetokounmpo is averaging 6.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22.6 minutes per game. He entered the starting lineup in the middle of December, and in those 10 games has averaged 8.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and nearly a steal and block per game in 31 minutes. With the Bucks competing for the worst record in the NBA -- they have a league-worst seven wins -- the Greek Freak is going to get all the run he can handle, and so far he's making good on the increased minutes.
[RELATED: Jimmy Butler fills Deng's leadership role with Bulls]
At just 19 years old, he's the same age as the college freshmen drawing rave reviews, except Antetokounmpo has a year of NBA experience under his belt already. There's no telling if he'll wind up being a star or if he'll even warrant the Bucks selecting him 15th overall as a massive unknown and project, but ESPN's Chad Ford recently said in a chat that he would have taken Antetokounmpo first overall in a re-draft of the 2013 Lottery.
What's scary is the Bucks likely will have their pick of talented freshmen (or Smart, a sophomore point guard at Oklahoma State) to help build the foundation of the franchise around Antetokounmpo, 23-year-old John Henson, 25-year-old Larry Sanders and 22-year-old Brandon Knight.
[WATCH: Talking Bulls' potential free-agent targets]
The Bulls will try and slow down the Greek Freak tonight on CSN. It all begins at 7 p.m. with Bulls Pregame Live. And stay interactive throughout the night by checking out Bulls Pulse, using #BullsTalk to join the conversation on Twitter.

TSA to remove controversial airport X-ray scannersBy JOSHUA FREED
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | January 20,2013AP FILE PHOTO
Volunteers pass through the first full body scanner, which uses backscatter technology, installed at OHare International Airport in Chicago. The Transportation Security Administration says the X-ray scanners will be gone by June 2013 because the company that makes them cant fix the privacy issues.Those airport scanners with their all-too revealing body images will soon be going away.
The Transportation Security Administration says the scanners that used a low-dose X-ray will be gone by June because the company that makes them cant fix the privacy issues. The other airport body scanners, which produce a generic outline instead of a naked image, are staying.
The government rapidly stepped up its use of body scanners after a man sneaked explosives onto a flight bound for Detroit on Christmas Day 2009.
At first, both types of scanners showed travelers naked. The idea was that security workers could spot both metallic objects like guns as well as nonmetallic items such as plastic explosives. The scanners also showed every other detail of the passengers body, too.
The TSA defended the scanners, saying the images couldnt be stored and were seen only by a security worker who didnt interact with the passenger. But the scans still raised privacy concerns. Congress ordered that the scanners either produce a more generic image or be removed by June.
On Thursday Rapiscan, the maker of the X-ray, or backscatter, scanner, acknowledged that it wouldnt be able to meet the June deadline. The TSA said Friday that it ended its contract for the software with Rapiscan.
The agencys statement also said the remaining scanners will move travelers through more quickly, meaning faster lanes at the airport. Those scanners, made by L-3 Communications, used millimeter waves to make an image. The company was able to come up with software that no longer produced a naked image of a travelers body.
The TSA will remove all 174 backscatter scanners from the 30 airports theyre used in now. Another 76 are in storage. It has 669 of the millimeter wave machines it is keeping, plus options for 60 more, TSA spokesman David Castelveter said.
Not all of the machines will be replaced. Castelveter said that some airports that now have backscatter scanners will go back to having metal detectors. Thats what most airports used before scanners were introduced.
The Rapiscan scanners have been on their way out for months, in slow motion.
The government hadnt bought any since 2011. It quietly removed them from seven major airports in October, including New Yorks LaGuardia and Kennedy airports, Chicagos OHare, and Los Angeles International. The TSA moved a handful of the X-ray scanners to very small airports. At the time, the agency said the switch was being made because millimeter-wave scanners moved passengers through faster.
Rapiscan parent company OSI Systems Inc. said it will help the TSA move the scanners to other government agencies. It hasnt yet been decided where they will go, said Alan Edrick, OSIs chief financial officer, in an interview.
Scanners are often used in prisons or on military bases where privacy is not a concern.
Theres quite a few agencies which will have a great deal of interest in the scanners, Edrick said.
OSI is taking a one-time charge of $2.7 million to cover the money spent trying to develop software to blur the image, and to move the machines out of airports, Edrick said.
The contract to change the software on the scanners came under scrutiny in November when the TSA delivered a show cause letter to the company looking into allegations that it falsified test data, which the company denied. On Thursday it said final resolution of that issue needs approval by the Department of Homeland Security.
The agreement with the TSA is an indication that OSI Systems will be cleared of the issues raised by the agency, Roth Capital Partners analyst Jeff Martin wrote on Friday. OSI shares soared $2.37, or 3.5 percent, to close at $70.02.
Besides the scanners being dropped by TSA, Hawthorne, Calif.-based OSI Systems makes other passenger scanners used in other countries, as well as luggage scanners and medical scanners.MORE IN This Just InATHENS, Greece With the crucial austerity referendum a day away, Greeks contemplated Saturday...

I so want to ride a snowmobile again...
Hope it badly!!! Loved the both games!
I would buy them both without any hesitation on gog!
WB owns it nitwits, read the article below. They have absolutely refused to release the old games of it's IP.
Since no-one can be bothered to dig through their vaults to find the documents stating who actually owns this franchise, I guess the only way this will come to GOG.com is if so many people demand this game to be re-released that the big corporations realize there's still a market out there.
I don't give a damn about IP rights, no one knows who owns it, therefore just make it available. GOG, PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Have them both in physical form, will buy them instantly when they become available on GOG. I still have hope.
I've still got these on cd, wonder if I should start making them freely available now that a release is almost certainly kaput.
Thanks for the link, Catel1.
 So, apparently, we will *never* see the NOLF games on GOG.
 That's really a sad development. :(
Remember beating both these way back then. Hard to think it has been this long since they both released!
NOLF was three titles - number three calles CONTRACT JACK !!!!!!
I've not played this yet but really want to. There are literally no choices for those who want to play it other than illegal means or paying stupid prices for the old releases. Please make these game available!
Sadly a NOLF rerelease is not for tomorrow http://kotaku.com/the-sad-story-behind-a-dead-pc-game-that-cant-come-back-1688358811
Yes release this games and don't forget the non-english people !!!
I don't wanna download these games with torrent. So please GOG, do something.
How can these superb games not be here. It so frustrating not to be able to play one of my all time favorite game series, despite having them both on cd. C'mon GOG, release 'em!
These games SHOULD be here!
Both NOLF 1 & 2 really need to be added. These games just didn't get the attention they deserved. Let's see them again on GOG!
I would totally appreciate N1LF.. Miss the games.
Yes ! These games are awesome !
As previous have said I also own both on cd but its so much hassle getting them to play off disc. I would drop money in a second to play them again from GOG.
Imagine NOLF multi being alive again with the gog galaxy :(
 Damn you monolith respond!!!
Agreed! N.O.L.F 1 and 2 are definitely needed.
Have both... and definitely support this. Great hilarious games.
These need to be released. I never got the chance to play them but they look so awesome, and the demo of the first one left me wanting more. Let's hope Night Dive studios gets that trademark soon so they can finally release these games.
Yes please
GOG, where are these games?
we want it! please make us happy
I loved NOLF and NOLF2 wasn't bad either iirc. I still own the CDs but would definitely buy it on GOG too if it were available.
Still waiting for those, I has so much fun playing them.
Would love to finally have those on GOG.
Instant sell for me if they arrive on GOG.com
I really want to see this game polished. I was floored by the game in my teenage years. Everything about just felt Right!
Especially NLF2 should be here! I would buy it faster than any other game on this site.
I'd also love to see these games! I want them but can't find out where to buy them!
I managed to get NOLF 1 working on Windows 7, but sadly nothing I try can get the sequel to run. Please GOG, get us these games!
Please, this. I tried to install my copy of NOLF 1 3 days ago, but I can't get it to agree with Windows 7. I am so sad.
Looks like gog is switching to new games, but maybe i'm wrong.
 But just like grim fandango and homeworld etc. i can help.
 In google or duckduckgo type: No One Lives Forever Anthology [PC] (2000-2003) theisozone
 And also check the rare game: The Wheel of Time-v333b [PC] [RePack/RIP] theisozone
 Enjoy the games and maybe someday gog will release them as well.
Both the first (GOTY) and the second game are great. The Contact Jack spin-off is alright but can't hold up to the original title. The CO-OP multiplayer of the second No one lives forever game is one of the best features. I would buy them on gog if they were to be released.
I also own the original game f contract Jack grove games has really made some awesome games.

I actualy own both games for the pc I'm a very big fan of the games, I still play them !!!!! I realy love those games

Enjoyed them games a lot. Would definately play them again.
Lately I've been thinking about these games and how much fun they were. Sadly, I didn't hold onto my copies back in the day. I'd love to pick them up if/when they make it to GOG. Undercover J.A.C.K too maybe?
No news on it hitting GOG, but here's an article on content that was cut from the original release of No One Lives Forever - http://joemartinwords.com/2014/05/13/the-deleted-scenes-of-no-one-lives-forever/
I somehow overlooked these games over the years. I'd finally check them out if they were re-released DRM free here at GOG.
A new article on Rock Paper Shotgun indicates that Night Dive Studios is trying to acquire the rights for those games: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/05/02/no-one-lives-forever-re-release/

 Dear GOG, you have worked with Night Dive Studios before on System Shock 2, so you better not allow them to release those games exclusively on steam ;)
Oh, if this series does hit GOG, please, please, please include the editor, DEdit, as a download.

 Such a fun trilogy.
So it happened - Nigh Dive have NOLF. Splendid!
Even though I own NOLF2 on disk, I would LOVE to see it on GOG. It works great on XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 32 & 64 bit. I just am scared of wearing out the disks and i hate having to keep the disk with me if I want to play and install it. I would easily buy this game again.
I really loved the first game. Sadly never got to play the second one. I would love to see them available on here.

JaVale McGee: Some NBA players 'ready to fold'
The National Basketball Players Association held a regional meeting in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon to discuss the state of the ongoing labor negotiations with the NBA. The early word was not exactly on message.
SI.com reports that Washington Wizards center JaVale McGee left the media early to attend another engagement, noting: "There's definitely some guys in there saying that they're ready to fold, but the majority are willing to stand strong."
On Thursday, Fisher wrote on Twitter that the meeting was "important" and noted that "all players including rookies [were] welcome."
Despite that plea, SlamOnline.com reported that McGee estimated that the number of attendees was "about 25 to 30," fewer than the number who attended the NBPA's most recent regional meeting, held in Las Vegas back in September.
"Everybody knows we've got to get more people to come to the meetings," McGee said, according to SI.com.
Shortly after multiple sources independently reported McGee's comments, he posted the following message on Twitter: "I never said anyone is ready to fold! Media always wanna turn it!"
Within an hour, the Los Angeles Times posted audio of McGee's comments, confirming that he did make the statement.
The NBPA's meeting is taking place one day after NBA commissioner David Stern began a media blitz that included an attack on NBPA executive director Billy Hunter, who he said has been inaccurately representing the NBA's offer to rank-and-file players.
Check back later for further updates from the NBPA's labor meeting in Los Angeles.

JaVale McGee: Some NBA players 'ready to fold'
I agree wholeheartedly.................in fact, I agree so much, that I think the nba should totally disband, close up shop, and NEVER play again! ALL those stinking thugs would then be forced to go out and really have to work for a living! With the economy in the shape it's in, it is in the best interests of all concerned, that the nba just cease and desist ALL operations immediately!! NOW, and forever!! Pro football rules!!!!!

JaVale McGee: Some NBA players 'ready to fold'
This is truly a bad time for the NBA players to not all be on the same page, Pro Football is in full swing, NHL hockey is starting, BaseBall is in it's last month and College Football is in the middle of its season, and the big baby College Basketball is ready to start. Pro Basketball could go missing for a few months and no one would notice with all of the other sports enjoying the spotlight.
The players talking about a NBA Player league is just nonsense, the logistics alone would cause many of the player to not make every game, depending on the payscale, travel, etc etc. J. McGee does not represent all/most of the NBA Players, he is just one voice, the media looking for news would run with anything told to them as though it was the gospel, so we who read have learned to mostly ignore 85% of it and concentrate on the source. The most important thing J. Mcgee said that we should pay attention to is the attendance at the negotiations, the NBA should have a major turnout of all of its stars if they are to give the appearance of solidarity, if this does not happen, I will be spending most of my time enjoying the NFL, College Football and the upcoming College Basketball season before I realize that the NBA is missing.

Whats next?? Are they gonna complain to NIKE that they dont make enough MILLIONS for wearing a shoe? They play a game and dont even work a whole year, complain to the guy that has to put in overtime just to buy a ticket to watch your pampered asses.. This league and its greed has killed college basketball, everyone is in a hurry to get that paycheck and most guys drafted arent any good.

Forget this season. Lets draft some new teams next year and forget these guys. Maybe if they weren't paying these guys millions and millions a year we wouldn't have to pay $7 for a hotdog. Kobe can go play in Italy or whatever, who cares.

If I were the owners, I'd get them to work for half of what they currently get. Check the global economy Pa
And that's exactly why you're not an owner. If the owners don't pay, they have no players. If they have no players, they have no team. If they have no team, they have no money coming in. LOL @ "I'd get them to..." Good luck with that. Don't you think if that was possible they would have done it a long time ago?

Salvery DOES still exist in America...but it's reversed from what some minorities pretend...the slaves are the 51% of people that actually work and pay taxes, to support those who choose not to. It's a growing condition, enhanced by a shrinking economy, and reluctance to spend less regardless of the financial impacts.

HighImpact.... you're dead on.
The NBA, as with the other major sports, need a market correction. Right now, it's the NBA on the hot seat, so they should set the precedent.
Those guys should have a minimum/maximum player salary of around $250k - $700k. Even that is still A LOT of money.
What, because you can dribble a ball makes you more valuable than a guy that can sell a car or write a computer program??
By the way---the ENTIRE economy has gone through a market correction, why not sports too??

Bottom line, there is NO NBA w/o the Players who are the talent that drives the league.NewsFlash: That's what being an OWNER of a company is all about.
You hire your employees and those employees bring the money in. The owner, who invested all of his money starting up the company, gets the profits while the employees, who agreed to work for x-amount of dollars, get paid their salary.
What is so hard about this to understand?
If you work at McDonalds, do you expect the profits on top of your $7 an hour???
Talk about slave labor.
Man I'd give my left nut to play basketball for 6 months a year and get paid for 10 years (or more!!!) worth of salary and get to be home with my family for 6 months of the year.

Slave system LOL. I can do without the NBA forever. If I were the owners, I'd get them to work for half of what they currently get. Check the global economy Pal. A game with a ball just doesn;t mean that much. Except FOOTBALL, and they too are way over paid.
