Instructions: If there are any photos you would like to obtain high resolution copies of, carefully note down the reference number shown at the bottom of each image and send a request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Entering the kbbreview Retail & Design Awards has never been easier, all you need to do is follow these steps and you can't go wrong...
Pick your categories
Remember that you can enter as many as you like but you can only enter each once. In the design categories, you cannot submit the same design more than once and in the business categories multiple retailers must choose one specific showroom.
Get your pictures together
Every entry will need supporting pictures that show your design or showroom to the best effect. Pictures should be JPEGs with as high a resolution as possible.
It is HIGHLY ADVISABLE to include plans and elevations if at all possible. Also it's very useful to include CAD renderings but you MUST have photos of the actual project too. Please DO NOT send photos embedded in PDFs or Word documents.
Make sure you have pictures that show the complete project or showroom as much as possible.
Have a look at the samples
Take a look at the sample entries. That way you'll know what information you'll need to include when you come to do yours and you can read through the questions on the form. The samples are there purely to give you a nudge in the right direction rather than tell you exactly how it needs to be done.
Fill in the form
Click on the 'Get Entry Form' button and you'll be asked to enter some simple contact information. You'll then be sent an email with a link through to the relevant form. The form is a simple Word document that you can save and fill in at your leisure. When you're finished you just email it back to us with the accompanying pictures. Again, DO NOT embed the pictures in the document or PDF.
Remember that judges have loads of entries to get through so be succinct and use bullet points to highlight key facts. It may sound obvious, but fill in ALL the answers.
Ask for help
Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 020 8515 2113 if you have any questions and we'll help as much as we can.
Remember the closing date
Get your entry to us by the closing date – no later than midday on Tuesday, November 17th, 2015.
There will be NO EXTENSIONS to the deadline.

The kbbreview Retail & Design Awards is a prestigious annual event celebrating its 22nd year in 2016. It rewards retailers, designers and manufacturers in the kitchen and bathroom industry and is organised by kbbreview, the sector's leading business magazine for over 30 years.
Our categories are split into two disciplines – retail and design. They are open to any retailers, designers and manufacturers of kitchen and bathroom projects in the UK and Ireland. Independents, multiples and franchisees are all welcome to enter and it's totally FREE.
The design categories are open to ANY designers of kitchens and bathroom projects that have been installed in a real residential home. In other words, they are not for concept or showroom designs. One-off designs for a showhome or developer are eligible for the design awards.
The categories are:
Kitchen Designer of the Year: project cost over £50,000
Kitchen Designer of the Year: project cost £30,000 - £50,000
Kitchen Designer of the Year: project cost up to £30,000
Bathroom Designer of the Year: project cost over £25,000
Bathroom Designer of the Year: project cost £10,000 - £25,000
Bathroom Designer of the Year: project cost up to £10,000
You can enter as many categories as you like but only one design per category.
The retail categories reward the very best retailers and showrooms and are open to ANY retailers of kitchens and bathrooms in the UK and Ireland. Multiple retailers MUST choose one specific showroom to enter.
The categories are:
Kitchen Retailer of the Year
Kitchen Showroom of the Year
Bathroom Retailer of the Year
Bathroom Showroom of the Year
The Retailer of the Year awards are for the best all round retailers looking at factors including business success, marketing, showroom, customer service and after-sales. The Showroom of the Year categories look specifically at how well designed showrooms are and their effectiveness for the target market.
One entry form puts you forward for both the Retailer of the Year and Showroom of the Year categories.
There are two categories just for manufacturers that recognise the hugely important role new product development takes in the industry. These awards recognise specific product innovation and are open to individual products launched to the industry in the previous 12 months.
Kitchen Product Innovation of the Year
Bathroom Product Innovation of the Year
Products must've been launched in the 12 months up to November 24th 2015.
Only one product per brand is allowed.
'Products' can be literally that or a piece of technology that is applied across a collection of products.
The products must be commercially available.
The judges score each design project against these criteria. Each carries an equal weight towards the final score.
• Aesthetics
• Meeting and exceeding the brief
• Problem solving
• Product and material choice
• Unique ideas and initiative
• Value for money
What judges do NOT include in their deliberations:
Whether it is contemporary or traditional – the brief is the most important thing
Writing ability or photography quality
The judges score each retailer against the following criteria. Each carries an equal weight towards the final score.
What judges do NOT include in their deliberations:
The judges score each showroom against the following criteria. Each carries an equal weight towards the final score.
• Layout
• Effective use of space available
• Customer journey
• Displays and product choice
• Unique ideas and initiative
• Effectiveness as sales tool
• Customer presentation areas
• Housekeeping
What judges do NOT include in their deliberations:
• Showroom size – No more weight is given to big showrooms than small
• Overall business success – It is purely about the showroom design
• Market position – Premium, mid-market or entry level retailers have as much chance as each other. The key is the definition of target audience.
• Writing ability and photography quality
It's really simple. You scroll down to the next page where you click on the category you're interested in.
Click on the button that says 'Get your entry form'. A window will pop up asking for your contact details, fill it in and you will receive an email from us with a link through to download the relevant entry form.
The form is a simple Word document, so save it and fill it in at your leisure. When you're ready, email the form and all the supporting photos back to us using the instructions on the form.
Samples of the form with example answers can be downloaded by scrolling further down this site.
Absolutely nothing, it is completely FREE to enter.
The closing date is midday on November 17th.
The judging process for the kbbreview Awards is unique in its focus and detail. We have several stages to make sure the entering is easy but winning is hard!
In the design categories, the submitted entries are viewed by a panel of expert judges and narrowed down to four finalists per category. Those finalists are then invited to London to make an in-person 15-minute presentation.
In the retail categories, the submitted entries are also viewed by an expert judging panel. They choose four finalists for each category and then, over the course of several weeks, each one is visited by a judge to see the business up close and really understand how it ticks.
All the finalists are invited, along with a partner, to the black-tie awards ceremony on Monday, March 7th, 2016 at the Hilton Metropole Birmingham.
There are three awards given out at the event that do not require entries to be submitted. The Kitchen Customer Service of the Year and Bathroom Customer Service of the Year finalists and winners are chosen by the famous kbbreview Mystery Shopper from the best showrooms she's visited in the previous 12 months.
The Special Achievement Award is chosen by the editorial team of kbbreview and goes to an outstanding individual who has made a significant contribution to the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom industry.

Great Moogley Moogle! Nexon Korea is Developing FINAL FANTASY XI for Mobile
Final Fantasy fans are you ready? Nexon has been chosen to develop a mobile game based off of the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI! The original game was set in Vana'diel, a high fantasy world, 20 years after the Crystal War. Players had access to 5 different races: Elvaan, Hume, Galka, Mithra, and Tarutaru. Nexon has not revealed much about the upcoming title, but they certainly seem happy about it.
"We are thrilled to partner with SQUARE ENIX to bring this amazing franchise to mobile audiences around the world," said Owen Mahoney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nexon, in a press release. "We are excited to strengthen our partnership with SQUARE ENIX by adding one of their most successful titles to our portfolio, as we continue to leverage our game development and global publishing expertise to provide high-quality experiences to gamers around the world."
This mobile version of Final Fantasy XI is planned to be released in 2016.
Heavenstrike Rivals: Beginners's Tips, Tricks, and Strategies
Would you like to know what we thought of this steampunk strategy game? Check out our Heavenstrike Rivals review!
The Basics
- Use Your Captain's Powers: As part of the game, each player's captain gets a special power. This can heal units, damage others, or cast other status effects. These powers refresh after a certain amount of turns. Players that use and time their powers according to a timeframe that aids their overall strategy will go far.
- Use All The Lanes: When starting out, you may be tempted to plop units into a lane and then forget about them. However, changing lanes is key to Heavenstrike Rivals's strategy. As long as your units are taunted or blocked by another unit, feel free to switch around units willy nilly to keep opponents guessing. Also, when playing on maps with power up tiles, units can lane change onto the tile to receive the power up, and then can be moved back to their original spot. How cool is that?
- Keep Your Units Alive: Even the strongest units in the game can't do much to help you if they don't stay on the battlefield long enough to fulfill their intended purpose. Additionally, some units and unit types get stronger the longer they are in play, so it's worth putting in the effort.
Squad Building
- Don't Underestimate Basic Units: When players start out in the game, they may want to start getting as many high powered units as possible in their squads, but this would be a mistake. The beginner units in Heavenstrike Rivals have low mana costs so they can get on the battlefield quickly. Considering the ultimate goal of the game demands players get within striking distance of their opponent, speed can be useful.
- Build Squads With Balance and Purpose: As much as it might seem like a good idea to build a squad full of brawlers, defenders, or other units to max out bonuses afforded by special units, doing this is a lot like putting all of your eggs in one basket. For any one viable strategy in Heavenstrike Rivals, there is a super-effective counter strategy. Players that do not take this into account may stomp all over some opponents that are equally unbalanced, but struggle against thoughtful foes.
- Build a Deck that Feels Comfortable: I know, this sounds almost overly basic, but it's important. As much as Heavenstrike Rivals doesn't look like a card game, it still operates like one. Putting in crazy new units that you aren't familiar with can cause a lack of synergy or introduce elements of randomness into your strategy, both of which are things you want to avoid.
Field Tactics
- Mana Is A Limited Resource. Use It Wisely: All units cost a certain amount of mana, but all players can only have ten mana's worth of units out on the field at any given time. With this being the case, players should be careful about what they summon early on and what foes they decide to defeat. After all, there's no reason to kill a unit if it's handily tied up and you have the upper hand.
- Time Summons Carefully: At first blush, it may look like a good idea to send out all of your units at once. However, if you are too careless and lose a lot of quickly summoned units early though, you may find themselves with a hand so empty they can't properly defend themselves.
- Shut Down Gimmicks Early: As game that encourages players to incorporate unit synergy, players should be on the lookout for the key units their opponents are using in an attempt to tie their strategy together. For example, there are some units in the game that grant bonuses to every unit in play of a certain type, so taking out that unit as quickly as possible will minimize the impact of your opponent's strategy.

Check Out the Trailer for the Upcoming FINAL FANTASY: Record Keeper
DeNA and Square Enix have announced that FINAL FANTASY: Record Keeper is currently in development. The game is a combination of all of the past Final Fantasy games and allows players to relive their favorite moments from the series. You'll be able to build a team of classic characters such as Tidus, Lightning, and Cloud, and customize them with a ton of iconic gear, powerful spells, summons, and weapons. [Editor's Note: Hopefully it won't be another All the Bravest...]
"FINAL FANTASY: Record Keeper delivers the ultimate FINAL FANTASY experience for the dedicated and passionate fans of this franchise and we are excited to work with SQUARE ENIX to bring it to players worldwide this spring," said Shintaro Asako, CEO of DeNA West, in a press release.
FINAL FANTASY: Record Keeper is set to release in spring, but if you can't wait you can pre-register at FinalFantasyRecordKeeper.com to receive updates about the game and unlock special in-game characters including Tidus from FINAL FANTASY X.
Will Square Enix Ever Fix iOS 8 issues with The World Ends With You: Solo Remix?
According to Reddit's iOS Gaming Board, Square Enix seems to have mixed opinions on iOS 8 compatibility updates for The World Ends With You: Solo Remix. User 'chupwn' posted a copy of their support ticket, which reads:
"Unfortunately we have been notified that this title will not be receiving an update to be compatible with iOS 8 and forward. For this we and the development team deeply apologize. We can only suggest that you play the game on an iOS 7 or earlier device at this time. If have purchased the game recently and would like a refund or reimbursement you will need to contact Apple Support as they would act as the retailer in this case. Since we are not the retailer and simply the publisher we would be unable to provide a refund under any circumstances. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Afterwards they received another reply from Square Enix correcting their previous email:
"We apologize, the previous response was premature as our teams have reviewed their response and realized that it was a lot more severe than they meant to provide. They have corrected our notification. This title's patch is more complex than expected and it is taking extra time to patch the game, unfortunately they do not have a final ETA as to when this will be complete."
Currently, The World Ends With You: Solo Remix is simply unplayable on iOS 8 - it gets stuck on an "Initializing" screen. Naturally users are in an uproar over the email and have spoken out on the Reddit message board about Square Enix's performance. 148Apps has reached out to Square Enix for clarification but we have yet to hear back.

Over their long history, Square Enix has become synonymous with big, epic, blockbuster Japanese RPGs. But while mobile may be a great place for ports of classics like Chrono Trigger, when crafting a new game the company has to make something a little more modest than Final Fantasy XII 3. Heavenstrike Rivals is that new game, and we see how well it lives up to its pedigree in this edition of It Came From Canada!
While the game was made in collaboration with English studio Mediatonic, it's hard not to notice the Final Fantasy style all over it. From the exciting but ultimately nonsensical name, to the plot involving brave youths rescuing a quaint and vaguely European world from a rising darkness, it's pretty obvious where this game comes from. Fortunately it also has production values that rival its AAA cousins. The illustrated artwork is luscious and detailed, battle animations for the chibi characters are a delight, and the jaunty music sets the mood for adventure.
And players will need to be in the mood because Heavenstrike Rivals' strategic gameplay will demand a lot of their time, even if it is broken up into chunks via energy meters. Using units they've gathered, players face off against opponents on a board game-like grid. The goal is to have their army reach the end and begin attacking the other player directly. However, this requires fighting through the enemy units coming after them. It's a straightforward idea, and the compact arena limits more extravagant strategies, but the game does offer depth through its unit variety.
Players gain access to more of their forces over the course of the round, and knowing all their quirks is where the fun begins. From the fighters' increasing strength, to the scouts' multiple hits, to the defenders' shields, to the gunners' range, effectively combining these abilities is the key to an effective squad. Plus it's just satisfying to watch an enemy fall for your carefully planned trap. Outside of battle players can improve their squad even more by leveling-up stats, modifying magic users, and recruiting special vanguards to lead the assault.
A few years ago, Square Enix released a little strategy game for DSiWare called Dragon Quest Wars that entertained in a way similar to Heavenstrike Rivals. We'll see if the larger App Store audience will be as receptive when the new game launches worldwide soon.
Heavenstrike Rivals - An Interview with the Makers of Square Enix's Latest Strategy RPG
We recently got our hands on Heavenstrike Rivals, an intriguing upcoming strategy game from Square Enix and Mediatonic that's currently in a soft launch phase. To learn more about the game and the East/West collaboration that created it, we spoke with Masanori Ichikawa, a game producer at Square Enix, and Paul Croft, Director of Games at Mediatonic.
148Apps: First, could you give a brief overview of Heavenstrike Rivals?
Masanori Ichikawa (MI): Heavenstrike Rivals was created as a joint effort between Square Enix and Mediatonic, a studio in England. It's a brand new tactical RPG. One of the game's key features is the real-time PvP multiplayer.
148Apps: You described the game as a tactical RPG with PvP combat. What does that mean exactly? What would you compare it to?
MI: It means that you can battle in real-time, like if you were playing chess, over the internet with other players.
Paul Croft (PC): I would compare it to many multiplayer games you might find on PC. We have multiple types of leagues and tournaments, similar in structure to those in Starcraft 2 or League of Legends. Players can compete directly with others across the world for the top places and earn promotions into new divisions if they perform well.
Tomb Raider II Review
Square Enix Has Just Released Tomb Raider II on an Unsuspecting App Store
Pretty much out of nowhere, Square Enix has just sort of gone and dropped Tomb Raider II onto the App Store.
The (debatably) superior sequel wowed plenty of gamers when it first came out by adding more of just about everything. Plus it's got that training course at Lara's mansion with the old butler who passes gas like clockwork - I'm not kidding, he totally does. Well, I think it's a perk, anyway.
Flatulence aside, the second game takes Lara to all sorts of new locations like Tibet and Italy. More locations also means more types of enemies (yetis and tigers and... wait, yetis??), as well as some new weapons to dispatch them with. Oh, and vehicles. That was sort of a big deal at the time. But perhaps the addition that will interest you most is the new list of achievements.
You can download Tomb Raider II off the App Store now for $1.99.

Last week's 4-12 record against the spread was the worst mark in this columns history! Ouch. What planet am I on? I'm still feeling dizzy from the rear-end kicking the NFL handed me, but the football calendar waits for no man. All we can do is take a huge whiff of smelling salt, and forge ahead to week three, burdened by an unsightly 13-19 ATS total.
I don't like to jump into social issues but I can't help but address this Ray Rice ordeal. Obviously, there is no place in our society for domestic violence. It's a transgression that should never take place, but this pervading stereotype, pushed by some talking heads on television, that labels NFL players as a bunch of wife-beating goons is ridiculous.
Blue forty-two, red sixty-six, razor, razor, hut-hut, HIKE!
Summer isn't over, summer isn't over, summer isn't over. … I'm hoping if I say that enough times it will be true.
The weather has been disheartening of late, but August showers typically precede September sunshine and some of the best golf of the season.
If historical form holds true we'll all have a fantastic finish to the golfing year. Last weekend put a wrap on the busiest section of the 2014 tournament calendar. Birch Ridge hosted the Bassackwards Scramble, Serenity Scramble and the Ladies Pro-Am over the weekend.
The Fourth Kenai Peninsula Open came and went last weekend. Gail force winds, very unusual at Birch Ridge, made scoring next to impossible Saturday during the first round of play. James Contreras managed the conditions as well as he could to build a sizeable lead entering Sunday's final round where a stock 68 sealed the championship.
It's been fast times at Birch Ridge high as the summer tournament schedule winds down. The Pink Ribbon Rally was held this past Sunday to the joy of 84 ladies in attendance. The gals do such a fantastic job of raising money for local breast cancer care and treatment. Well over $100,000 has been raised through the Pink Ribbon Rally golf tournament since its inception. Wow! Birch Ridge is honored to play host to such an incredible group of women and this event.
The Birch Ridge Golf Report author is back after a week away in beautiful, sunny Palmer, Alaska. Birch Ridge hosted the Seward Seahawks Booster Club tournament over the weekend with great success. The folks from Seward are a great group of guys and gals! We're very happy to provide a venue for their fundraising efforts!
What a week at Birch Ridge Golf Course! The Wells Fargo All Alaska Pro-Am and Skins Game got things started on Monday. Aaron "Baby Dex" Dexheimer posted a wonderful 67 on a challenging track for a first-place finish.
George "Jorge" Collum rock and rolled his ball around the course in 68 quick strokes as the runner-up. Rich Lundahl and I finished T-3 with a pair of 69s.
It's raining extraordinarily hard while I write this. Which is great for ducks but not golfers.
Old Folks Golf
The pace of play is starting to pick up at Birch Ridge with a number of tournaments and events upcoming. The All-Alaska Pro-Am and Skins Game is set to take place July 14. The pro-am is a longtime favorite of golfers from all over state.

Is it wrong of me to have a crush on Will Ferrell?
I'm one of maybe three people who doesn't usually find Will Ferrell very funny...but that was hilarious.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assert that this is the second best evidence to date (besides "Bewitched") that WF is a one trick pony frequently prone to being disastrously unfunny.
Best Slog post ever!
not that funny.
i wanted to like it.
liked the george bush thing a lot more.
if only the 2 year old had been more convincing...
I started laughing as soon as I saw Will Ferrell's T shirt. Is of 80's Mexican pop singer Mijares. The worst singer in Mexican pop history. That was soooo random.
I heard that that's his baby.

Grant Details

|Primary Investigator:
|Schwartz, Ann
|Wayne State University
|Project Title:
|Inflammation Pathways and Copd in the Development of Lung Cancer
|Fiscal Year:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Smoking contributes to a multitude of chronic diseases, including chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and lung cancer; approximately 15% of smokers will develop these diseases. The link between COPD and lung cancer has been demonstrated in epidemiologic studies, as well as family studies suggesting a common underlying genetic contribution to these diseases. The biologic mechanisms linking COPD and lung cancer are unknown, however chronic inflammation is likely to play a role. We propose to evaluate SNPs and copy number variation in genes in inflammatory pathways. The proposed study will expand on previous work by incorporating COPD phenotyping using CT diagnosis of emphysema and pulmonary function testing (PFT). It also will expand on the panel of genes beyond those few already evaluated, will incorporate copy number variation as well as non-synonymous and functional SNPs, and will include a large African American population. There has not been a study of these pathway genes in African Americans, a group that is less likely to report COPD, smokes fewer cigarettes, but is more likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer than whites. Specifically, from two large, urban health systems we will recruit 2050 lung cancer cases, 2050 smokers, and 600 patients with COPD. Approximately 46% of subjects will be African American. Each subject will complete a risk factor questionnaire, undergo CTs and PFTs, provide a blood sample, and when available a tissue block. It is hypothesized that genetic variation in inflammation-related genes contributes to the development of lung cancer and this association varies by the presence or absence of COPD, and by race. The goal is to develop a genetic profile based on SNPs and copy number variation in inflammation pathway genes that predicts susceptibility to lung cancer with and without COPD in response to tobacco exposure. In addition, gene expression of a panel of 370 inflammatory pathway genes will be evaluated in normal lung tissue in a subset of 250 cases with and 250 cases without a COPD diagnosis. No other large collection of cases is available that includes detailed phenotyping of lung cancer and COPD and jointly evaluates inflammatory genes in germline DNA and target tissue in the same individuals. This work will lead to a better understanding of the inflammatory process in lung carcinogenesis, provide avenues for the identification of a high risk group for intervention, and provide insight into possible treatment options.

Hello I was hoping someone could help me with modding my psp. I am completely new to this but I really would like to able to play PSX games but still be able to play recent games
My psp's firmware is currently 3.51 and these are my questions:
1)Do I definitely need a pandora's battery to downgrade first?
2)Once it's downgraded how do I install custom firmware?
3)What's the ideal CFW to play PSX games? (but is still able to play recent games that require an update)
If someone could help me out or provide a link answering these questions it would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Historical Traveler Reviews King's Hotel Center Munich
Location, location, location
Kings hotel is 5 min walk from train station. We booked through the tourist info at the station and got a discount. Lovely hotel, great breakfast, friendly staff and beautiful rooms. Hotel has a great feel from the minute you walk in the door.
Great Central Place to Stay
We had a great 2 day stay the the Kings Center. Within 10 minute walk of Marienplatz and 5 minutes to the Munich Haupbahnhopf (train station). The rooms were clean, and decent in size. The breakfast was good but the selection was a little weak.
The front desk was very helpful for non-german speaking visitors. I noticed a lot of american's staying a the hotel.
I would return.
A Great Stay at King's Center
We stayed six nights in this hotel. We arrived early and were able to check in at no additional cost. The rooms were neat and clean. The decor was very impressive for the price. We had a double, which did consist of two twin beds pushed together but that was not a problem at all. The bed had a huge wooden headboard and the wooden canopy at the ceiling. It was comfortable. It was all very nice. There was a large armoire for bags and coats. For a European hotel room, I considered it spacious. Plenty of room to walk around without bumping into one another. The bathroom was bright and clean. There was no tub, but the shower was roomy.
The staff were helpful and nice. The lobby is always kept neat and staffed. The breakfast room is joined by a short corridor and has a buffet style set up. That was an additional 12E per person. Not a huge array of choices compared to a buffet at home, but all the food was good and fresh. It is a ten minute walk from the Hauptbahnof if you exit near the DB trains toward Arnulfstrasse, go straight across the street, down one block make a left, then a right for one block and then a left at the end and the hotel is on the left. As far as the area, there were no problems. There were no "seedy" shops by King's Center; I only saw one and it was on the next block over. We walked to Stachus and Marienplatz a couple of times and it was only about ten to fifteen minutes. You can take the train, it's about the same amount of time. It's a good location for just about anything you'd want to see or do. Augustiner Keller is a short walk away too. My bf recommends the dunkle!
We were pleasantly surprised all in all by the hotel. Booking over the internet made us a bit leery but it turned out to be a good deal. We'd stay there again if we return to Munich.
A 3 Star Hotel Not to be Missed
Myself and my girlfrield has a short stay in Munich and we decided to stay at Kings Center Hotel because of its location and good price and we think we had made a right decision.
The hotel is located about 5-10 minutes walk from the Central train station. At first its not easy to find. The hotel can be confused with King's Center First Class (which is very close to this hotel). To get to the hotel, you will have to come out from the right exist at the train station and you have to pick the right street at the 4 way intersection before you can get to the hotel. But with a little bit of research beforehand, you should have no problem to get there.
The location of the hotel itself is excellent, its about 15 minutes walk to the famous city hall, the cathedral and the shopping mall. 5-10 minutes walk to the central train station which connects you to the airport as well as everywhere in Europe. There is a tourist information centre located near the train station as well as the bus stop for all the local tours.
There are also internet cafe, post office, supermarket, pub and restaurants (that over late) nearby. If you have enough european food and want to try something different, there is even a Chinese/Japanese Restaurant 2 minutes away.
The room itself is small but its acceptable. (Good enough for 2 people). When I say small, I dont mean tiny. I never feel the room size is inadequate and I have no problem to accomodate my big luggage at the room.
The bed is canopy style (which makes it special) but I dont like the idea of having 2 single beds put together = 1 queen size bed. I dont like the gap in between the beds, no matter how small the gap is. It does comes with a TV.
Bathroom is reasonable, with good hot water and good water pressure. There is no soap and no shampoo but instead you got liquid form soap.
The room has central heating system and its adequate. I dont feel cold when the temperature outside was minus 10 degree Celcius.
Check-in and check out is quick. Flash your passport, they get a copy, fill in the form and its done.
The lift is a bit small and there is only 1 lift. Expect delay if you have to use it at busy hours.

Overall Comment:
King's Center Hotel is not a 4/5 star hotel but its a hotel that is conveniently located and provided above average standard with a good bargin price. if the price is right - its a good choice to stay there.
Very nice and very affordable
The rooms were very pretty. We didn't think they were too small at all. It was very clean and the staff was beyond friendly. The shower was absolute heaven compared to other hotel showers. The only thing I didn't care for was the liquid soap but that's a very minor detail. We stayed in the front building and my mom and aunt stayed in the rear building. Both rooms were nice. When we imformed the desk on checking in that we didn't have any luggage yet, the woman offered to take my slip from the airline and contact them for us. We went out for awhile and when we came back, there was a message on our TV saying the airline was sending the luggage. We came back again in the afternoon and there it was! So nice! We took several day trips so we appreciated being so close to the train station. Our trip was 11/04.
Our favorite place in Munich
We've been to Munich four times and have stayed at the King's Hotel 3 times. Its rooms, although small (typical for Munich), are very clean and nicely furnished (the canopy beds are a nice touch).
The hotel is especially convenient for people arriving or departing by train. You can easily walk the 3 or so blocks from the main train station to the hotel. It's also within walking distance of the city center -- although I wouldn't say it's in the city center, but about 10-15 minutes away (maybe 8-10 blocks). The walk's a scenic one though...and if you don't want to walk, you can take the subway at the main train station.
The breakfast is always good (simple and traditional) and the staff are always very helpful - all of which eagerly and effortlessly speak english.
The King's Hotel isn't the Ritz, but it's one of the best 3 star hotels I've stayed in in Europe.
Not a big bang for your buck
The lovely rooms are small, but authentic. This hotel does not have air conditioning. It was 95' The rooms have only a central air handling system - that it was not working in our room. Therefore, we had to open the windows over a very busy street. Needless to say, we didn't get any sleep for the three nights we were there due to traffic noise and honking and garbage trucks etc.
The management said perhaps it could be fixed on Monday - we checked in Friday evening and had to go through the weekend hot and bothered. We decided to leave a night early and never received a refund. Management was ineffective and uncaring.
You go King's Hotel!
I highly recommend King's Hotel Center (the one near the train station) if you decide to stay in Munich. We loved Munich so my review might be tainted, but honestly for the price we payed ($90 a night from expedia.com) in August was excellent and the hotel was centrally located, clean, large rooms, bathrooms, and English speaking staff. We walked everywhere! You can walk from the train station to the hotel in 5 minutes. The area is commercial but safe. The center is a 15 minute brisk walk. I will stay here again and recommend that you stay here too!
Nice place to stay
I'm very satisfied of the hotel I chose to stay for my new year eve!
The hotel is 100m from the rail station and at the same time you are very close to the center of munich or to public trasportation. The room was small but confortable, nice and very quiet. I did not have breakfast 'cause there are a lot shops neraby where is cheaper. It's a good choice if you want a warm place to rest after visiting the town.
Lovely, friendly hotel
Stayed at the Kings Hotel, Munich 20/21 April, 2003. A small and intimate hotel. The room although small had everything you could wish for and after all, on a City break how long do you spend in your room? The staff are so friendly and went out of their way to help. Unfortunately on the way to the hotel our suitcase broke, we called into the sister hotel who arranged for a member of staff to take our suitcase on for us. Although it was only around the corner - nothing was too much trouble. The location of this hotel is the best in Munich. A short stroll from the main railway station from where you can get the airport bus.We didn't eat at the hotel but spent quite a lot of time at the bar and were made to feel as if we were the only guests there it was all so personal.I would thoroughly recommend the Kings Hotel - it was superb.Finally, a special mention to Mark. Whilst all the staff are lovely, Mark, an apprentice (although only for another 6 months!) was brilliant.

The airport security panicked and thought this could be part of a terrorist attack and they rang up the police department. The guy on the other end was laughing his ass out. It was the police who had stolen the tree and in order to get it back airport security had to throw a party for the police people.

Zynga's IPO Crumbled a Little
First day trading saw its price down.
Yesterday's much-vaunted IPO of online gamemaker Zynga sort of tripped and fell face-first onto the stock exchange floor, with share prices trading $5 below the initial offering price. Analysts now say Facebook may need to rethink its own gajillion-dollar IPO expectations.

Justice Department Saw Multiple Monopolies in NYSE-Nasdaq Deal
For the U.S. Justice Department, antitrust concerns in Nasdaq OMX Group Inc.'s proposed takeover of NYSE Euronext went beyond a monopoly in stock listings.
Nasdaq OMX and IntercontinentalExchange Inc. withdrew their joint $11.3 billion bid for NYSE Euronext on May 16 after the Justice Department threatened a lawsuit. An acquisition "would have substantially eliminated competition for corporate stock listing services, opening and closing stock auction services, off-exchange stock trade reporting services and real-time proprietary equity data products," the department said.
While keeping one exchange operator from controlling where U.S. companies raise money may have been reason enough to block the proposal, the other objections are debatable, said Jamie Selway, managing director at Investment Technology Group Inc. in New York. Selway said the auction issue isn't separate from the listing concern, trade reporting is a minor business, and the logic underlying the assertion about data is questionable.
"The corporate listings concern makes sense," Selway said. "The other three are throwaways."
The Justice Department had no comment beyond its previous public statements, said Gina Talamona, a spokeswoman.
Taking over NYSE Euronext would have given New York-based Nasdaq OMX the company's cash equities, options and technology businesses, while Atlanta-based ICE would have received the Liffe derivatives unit in Europe and the U.S. They made their unsolicited bid on April 1 in an attempt to block the planned union of NYSE Euronext and Frankfurt-based Deutsche Boerse AG.
Speedy Review
The Justice Department's decision clears the way for Deutsche Boerse to complete its acquisition of the New York Stock Exchange owner, announced in February. It left Nasdaq OMX without a merger partner and securities professionals such as Andrew M. Klein, a partner at Schiff Hardin LLP in Washington who advises exchanges, brokers and investment managers, stunned by its speed.
"NYSE was an exchange that existed quite happily under antitrust laws when it had 80 percent of stock trading and total control over its quotation and last-sale data," said Klein, who was director of the Securities and Exchange Commission's division of market regulation in the 1970s. "Saying the deal with Nasdaq was anticompetitive threw a monkey wrench into a transaction that, as a hostile offer, had already generated considerable consternation."
Beyond creating a listings monopoly, a combined Nasdaq-NYSE would have the "incentive and capability to increase the price of trading during the opening and closing auctions," Christine Varney, head of the Justice Department's antitrust division, said on a May 16 conference call.
Raising Fees
The concern about a merged Nasdaq and NYSE raising fees for investors who trade in the daily opening and closing auctions is related to the worry about a listings monopoly, Selway said. The exchange that lists a stock attracts virtually all the volume at those times, he said.
The open and closing auctions, conducted by listing markets at 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. New York time, aggregate investors' buy and sell orders to determine a single price that reflects the trading interest sent into those processes. The auctions are trading events that set stock prices at times of the day when a lot of retail and institutional customers execute orders.
"If exchanges structure their open and closes differently, you have competition between alternative methods and investors can decide what works better," said Robert Schwartz, a finance professor at Baruch College at the City University of New York who has studied markets and trading rules since the late 1970s. That can prompt exchanges facing the threat of competition to improve their auctions and limit fees.
Trading Demand
The opening and closing auctions should reflect as much trading demand as possible to yield the best prices, said Schwartz, who was on an advisory committee that helped Nasdaq Stock Market design its auctions almost a decade ago.
"For any given stock, you want consolidation in where orders are sent at the open or close, not fragmentation," he said. Having exchanges with different methods of calculating opening and closing prices allows for potential competition.
Justin Schack, managing director for market structure analysis at New York-based Rosenblatt Securities Inc., said that rivalries among exchanges have forced venues including Nasdaq to improve their auctions to attract traders.
The auctions "are inextricably bound to listings," Schack said. "Their power to exert control and pricing power could have been significant," he said of a Nasdaq-NYSE union.
Off-Exchange Trades
A merged company could also have raised fees on systems for reporting off-exchange transactions that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority runs with Nasdaq and NYSE, known as trade reporting facilities, Varney said. About 30 percent of U.S. equities trading occurs away from public markets.
The trade reporting facility Nasdaq operates with Finra already handles 93 percent of transactions reported from off-exchange, with NYSE getting the rest, according to data compiled by Bats Global Markets Inc. Nasdaq used to have all the volume. Two other TRFs developed in the last five years shut down. They're not "high-value" offerings by exchanges, Selway said.
Varney said the combination of NYSE and Nasdaq could also increase charges for proprietary market data and curtail the introduction of products the exchanges sell to investors and brokers. They include real-time quotation and trade information and are separate from the industry's public market data.
Bats, Direct Edge
Two exchange firms, Bats in Lenexa, Kansas, and Direct Edge Holdings LLC in Jersey City, New Jersey, which together account for a fifth of U.S. equities volume, offer real-time market data that competes with NYSE's and Nasdaq's. The companies are owned by groups that include units of Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse Group AG, Citigroup Inc., Bank of America Corp., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Knight Capital Group Inc. and were formed as a hedge against NYSE and Nasdaq gaining too much sway over U.S. equities trading and related services.
Still, Christopher Nagy, managing director for order routing sales at TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. in Omaha, Nebraska, said the Justice Department's focus on market-data costs is important to brokers that must acquire that information. While antitrust officials discussed only proprietary data from exchanges, he said the public trade information retail brokers buy from NYSE Euronext and Nasdaq-run units is too expensive.
"If you combine the two exchanges and that becomes the dominant purveyor of data products for the displayed markets, that would have been monopolistic," said Tim Quast, founder and managing director at ModernNetworks IR LLC in Denver. "The DOJ's decision makes sense."
Antitrust Remedies
Nasdaq OMX Chief Executive Officer Robert Greifeld said in a statement on May 16 that the company had offered to sell the NYSE self-regulatory organization, or entity that controls the Big Board exchange, along with related businesses to allay competition concerns.
"Nasdaq seemed willing to sell the NYSE SRO as a fairly substantial remedy," Selway said. "It's a real surprise that DOJ would respond so quickly and forcefully."
Matthew Cantor, a New York-based partner at antitrust law firm Constantine Cannon LLP, said it was unclear who could buy NYSE and preserve its value without owning the rest of the company. Issuers might "jump ship," he said.
Varney said on the May 16 call that no remedy offered by Nasdaq OMX would have met DOJ's approval. She said her group conducted a "thorough investigation" of the deal that they saw as creating a monopoly.
Business Rationale
When a company offers to sell assets at "the heart of the merger, one wonders what it is they're going to divest and how it will compete and what is the business rationale for the transaction," she said.
That the review took just six weeks is unusual, Cantor said. Most take months as economists analyze the likely impact on prices and competition, consider potential solutions to address competitive concerns and figure out whether they can build a case to prevent a transaction they think will result in harm to consumers, he said.
The Nasdaq case signals that "transactions that on their face look like they're going to substantially lessen competition aren't going to pass muster," he said. "They're going to pull the trigger."

Description: One of the leading cornet players of the early jazz era of the 1920s, and one of the great jazz innovators, was well-brought-up Midwestern white boy Bix Biederbecke (1903-1931), who just couldn't keep away from what was then often considered to be low-down and trashy music, despite the relentless efforts of his stodgy and oppressively respectable family to keep him at home. Between the conflict caused by his relations with his family and his own difficulties negotiating the sometimes harsh world of the music business (yes, even then) he was a hardcore alcoholic at the height of Prohibition. Some say that cheap, dangerously ill-prepared liquor did him in at the tender age of twenty eight; others contend that he would have died of drink anyway, driven by his internal demons and family conflicts. This Italian-made biographical drama, while it includes much of his extraordinary music, focuses mainly on his conflict with his family.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

I have a button in my theme that changes color on hover. I needed to change the hover color of the button and did so be creating a new png file in photoshop that matches the old file exactly (as far as I can tell) as the old file, except for the new color. However, when I use the new png file, the button appears to have a constant white border during hover or not.
