Mercure Paris Roissy Charles de Gaulle Hotel - hotel reviews in Roissy En France

"Nothing out of the ordinary"
8th July 2013, Traveltarts1, Cape Town, South Africa
No-one expects 'airport hotels' to be anything out of the ordinary, and the Mercure Paris Roissy at Charles De Gaulle airport is just typically 'ordinary'. We chose it for an overnight stopover for flight connection and it served it's purpose. A hotel shuttle bus takes you from CDG Terminal 2 via several other hotel stops – be prepared and keep an eye open because the bus drivers will NOT be helpful, drive like maniacs and there is no help and little space for suitcases!Our check-in at the Mercure was long and tedious and despite being Le Accor Club (frequent) members, we actually waited longer and got more bad attitude from the check-in staff than non-members – makes you wonder why they have a 'loyalty' program if they don't care about how they treat their frequent guests!!??As a captive audience for meals, the hotel restaurant was adequate for dinner; food was average, prices high, wait-staff not particularly pleasant.The hotel had free wi-fi internet in the room, and a computer/printer in the reception area was available for guests to complete online flight check-in and print boarding cards (a bonus).All the airport hotels were doing a roaring trade at the time, and as we got a good last-minute rate for the overnight stay, overall it was bearable. But 2-3* only.View management response »

"Review of Mercure Hotel Roissy"
19th December 2012, pvagnier, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, USA
Overall a nice Hotel. I booked a 100 euro special price, and thought it was a good deal. Less than 5 min from airport. Rooms were clean, and service was good. I will stay at this hotel next time because of service and convienience.
"Awkward transport from airport and no free Wi-Fi."
3rd November 2012, RegularTraveller84, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
The hotel was fine but I was surprised that at the price, wi-fi was not included. The worst part of the experience was getting to the hotel from the airport and back again. The shuttle bus system is very difficult for people with any luggage (which is virtually everyone). And the shuttle is the only way to get to the hotel from the airport.
"Great location & excellent service"
29th August 2012, fapilbrow, Japan
The Mercure Paris Roissy is about 10 mins in a taxi or take the free shuttle from Roissy Pole Gare (Terminal 3). Don't have a single complaint about this hotel. The rooms were clean, the staff are lovely & very helpful. Good value for money. Highly recommended.
"My stay at the Hotel Mercure"
2nd August 2012, iainmu, Algiers
I arrived at terminal 2 thinking i would quickly get the bus to the hotel. Not to be!! From terminal two I had to get the train shuttle to terminal 3 and then wait for the bus outside the terminal. The area was dirty and disgusting with cigarette butts and litter everywhere(It hadn't changed for my return the next morning). The bus pick up area was a shambles with buses going round the roundabout 3 or 4 times blocking other buses getting in to pick up passengers. Eventually, I got to the hotel after helping numerous elderly people with their luggage on to the bus!!!!!! At the Hotel, the receptionist could not have been nicer or more helpful. The reception area was nice and bright and welcoming. My room was fine, clean and had enough of everything for my one night stay. I then went down and sat at the bar. If a waiter hadn't been coming to get a drink for someone in the restaurant, I would still have been waiting! The next morning at breakfast the next morning, despite all the display about cooking what you want, not one member of staff greeted me on my way in or even asked if I had booked breakfast. They just ignored me and went about cleaning tables of which there were a lot. A french family then came in and the staff fell over themselves to help them. Breakfast???? Not at all a pleasant experience in this hotel. I had stayed in another hotel in Roissy two weeks previous and got the same kind of attitude from the staff, only in that one the Receptionis was included in the ignorant ones. I really thought I was in for a pleasant stay when I checked in. Unfortunately this was shattered. I will not be staying here again.
"Our stay at Mercure CDG"
17th July 2012, Haarlem
We stayed for one night only, and had a good experience at this hotel.The room was nice, clean, comfortable and, although close to the airport, quiet.The ground-floor, with reception, lounge and restaurant looked recently refurbished, nice. No dinner-experience, but the breakfast-buffet was good. You can always argue about the flat-rate for this buffet...
"Pleasantly Surprised."
9th July 2012, Peterborough, United Kingdom
I was pleasantly surprised by the standard of this Mecure. Easily above what it maybe rated as. Formal yet relaxed. Best Mecure I have stayed in.
"A bit better would mean a lot"
11th May 2012, Chicago
This hotel is perfect if you like to stay close to the airport for a flight. Would definitely use it again.However, here are some points I would raise:Diner: the food was OK, while pricey for the size. Also the wait was close to too long.Breakfast: good value and would be enjoyable if we didn't have to listen to the very loud employee complaining about pretty much everything (only one out of the 3 there)Check out: don't expect a late check out, no matter what your reward level is.
"Mercure, Paris Roissy"
7th May 2012, rm5142, Austin, Texas, USA
well located clean hotel with helpful and friendly staff. One can walk to the charming village of Roissy where there are restaurants and shops. If staying near DeGaulle airport it is a perfect choice.
"One night at CdG"
24th March 2012, Heemstede
Very convenient for a night at the airport foran early next day departure. Allow 20 mins for the shuttle to the terminals.
"Outdated promo / No promo points / not happy"
1st March 2012, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
I booked for myself and two colleagues because there was a promotion which read ===Nights & Flavours All included offer : Night + breakfast + lunch or dinner + a Michelin guidebook offered + 500 points offered for A|Club members === The people at the front desk were not aware of the promotion so I had to ask for it and then find the booking confirmation in my email to prove it.Later that evening we received the Michelin guidebooks which are outdated, 2011 versions.I have yet to received the additional 500 point bonus as stated in the promo.The hotel itselft is nice but I'm not satisfied with the disconnect between hotel marketing and the hotel staff.
"Mercure CDG"
6th February 2012, Haarlem
My 3rd stay here, and it was as good as always. The room was nice with a good bed. Front-desk staff is friendly, the location of the hotel suits me very well. I came by car, and parking was free. But there is also a hotel-shuttle to the terminal. Dinner was good, and the breakfast buffet had good assortment.
"Templar Tour"
7th October 2011, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada
I always always at the Mercure Allee de Vergers for value and great service. I have staryed there for over 5 years and have never had a problem which was dealth with profesionally and very much on time. Great hotel wiht friendly profesional staff who are well lead by management
"It's a Mercure it is goo but not best value"
15th June 2011, Tri_man_UK, Hereford, Uk
Good service and like all Mercure a really nice restaurant and Bar offering, although typically pricey as per all airport hotels.this hotel is off the airport site and the shuttle buses are chaotic and slow so stay on airport if you can, otherwise a nice place to stay if not really great value. Note WiFi is free so do not buy a package including wifi through Expedia as I did only to find it was already included.

BOSTON -- Red Sox pitcher John Lackey has won the Tony Conigliaro Award, given annually to the major-league pitcher who has overcome adversity through the spirit of determination and courage embodied by Conigliaro. Lackey will be honored at the Boston Baseball Writers' Dinner January 23, where members of Conigliaro's family will be present.
After missing the 2012 season due to Tommy John surgery, Lackey submitted a bounceback campaign that exceeded all expectations in 2013. The right-hander's 10-13 record belied a 3.52 ERA in 29 regular-season starts. He was even better in the postseason, delivering perhaps Boston's best-pitched game of October when he outdueled Justin Verlander in Game Three of the American League Championship Series, 1-0.
Lackey became the first player in major-league history to win World Series clinchers for two different teams when he closed out the Cardinals in Game Six.
The Tony Conigliaro Award has been given every year at the Boston Writers' Dinner since 1990. Lackey is the third Red Sox player to claim the honor, joining teammate Jon Lester (2007) and fellow hurler Bret Saberhagen (1998). R.A. Dickey won the award in 2012.

Family tells Shriners how they helped them
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 10:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 10:10 a.m.
Sahib Shriners Temple members learned firsthand how their hospital transportation program has helped a North Port family.
To make a donation for the Hospital Days fundraising campaign, or for more information about the Sahib Shriners No. 183, call 941-366-4449.
The special guests of honor at the Nov. 1 luncheon, Marie Bailey and her 7-year-old daughter, Sofia Olivo, talked about how the transportation program helps them survive the stress and expense of traveling between North Port and the Shriners Hospital in Tampa for medical treatments.
Sofia was born with spina bifida. With the medical services provided at the Shriners Hospital, she is now able to walk short distances with the aid of leg braces and arm crutches.
During the past seven years, Sofia and her mother have traveled to the Shriners Hospital in Tampa for 36 medical appointments.
"This service became a source of relief for me, a weight lifted off my shoulders," Bailey said. "I couldn't have afforded all the trips back and forth without this program.
"Sometimes, we would have to make weekly trips to the hospital, and that would be financially devastating for our family," she continued. "With the help of the Shriners, I am able to ride safely with my children free of charge to and from the hospital."
The luncheon also helped kick off a three-weekend fundraising campaign to collect money for the civic organization's transportation program.
Fundraising efforts began the first weekend in November and continues through this weekend.
"The fundraiser is called Hospital Days," said Harold Eady, the Shriners public relations chairman. "We will have our Shriners stationed at retail stores around the four counties, collecting donations from the public. All the money we collect will be used for gas and maintenance of our three vans to take patients from their home to our hospital in Tampa, and then back to their home.
Eady said the Shriners offer the program every day to anyone who needs their help.
"We also provide air transportation for patients to travel to other Shriners hospitals around the country," he said.
Sahib Shriners No. 183 was granted its charter in 1982 and has six clubs in Sarasota, Manatee, DeSoto and Hardee counties.
In the past 30 years, the local chapter has provided transportation for more than 1,700 children in the four-county region seeking medical services at Shriners Hospitals.
"On average, every year we help approximately 200 children in our communities get to and from our hospitals all over the county," said Jesus Cabalo, chairman of the Shriners hospital committee. "We offer free transportation to our Shriners Hospitals to all children until they are 18 years old."

Australian Grand Prix winner Nico Rosberg's Mercedes finished 24 seconds clear of Daniel Ricciardo's Renault-engined Red Bull, before the Australian was excluded for his RB10 exceeding the maximum fuel flow limited permitted by the 2014 regulations.
Renault works team Red Bull made a giant leap in competitiveness between the final pre-season test in Bahrain and the first race in Melbourne, but team boss Christian Horner estimated the Renault engine was still one second slower on the Albert Park street circuit's straights than the Mercedes power unit.
The French manufacturer's head of track operations Remi Taffin accepted there was a significant deficit, but reckons the power unit is good enough to close the gap once the Renault teams gain more knowledge of how to use it properly.
"It's a fair assessment to say we are behind Mercedes in the straights. That's obvious," said Taffin.
"Saying it is one second is difficult, but it is not one tenth. It is closer to a second than a tenth or a hundredth.
"We know how far we are from [Mercedes] and we know what we can achieve for the next race to fill the gap.
"In the power unit we're running we already have the necessary components to achieve this recovery, it's just a matter of optimising everything and using everything to the full power.
"We just have to fix the reliability and fix the way we use all these things together and try to make them work."
Taffin said Renault could take away useful lessons from Australia, thanks to Ricciardo's Red Bull and both Toro Rossos completing the race distance, though there was disappointment at both Lotuses retiring with identical MGU-K failures.
"It's like we've done four days of testing in one afternoon," he added.
"We will reflect on that for Sepang and come back better, but all in all I'd say it's a 50/50, as the number of cars we got to the end of the race.
"Fifty per cent of them did quite well but not to the level we expect. We still have a way to go.
"We can operate our engine but there is a downside obviously with the number of cars we didn't get to the end due to some problems on our side.
"But it's not the sort of problem we cannot fix."

Harley-Davidson used to be a brand synonymous with the one-percenters, the segment of society that lived and breathed the biker code, a salty breed of fringe players living on the edge.
A lot has changed over the years. Truth be told, Harley has done a great job of transforming the savage biker stereotype into one tied to freedom in the form of a machine, accessible to any true-blooded motorcycle aficionado with a streak of Americana running through him or her.
Shit's crazy these days, and motorcycling has caught on as a cheap way to release the day-to-day stress and grab a handful of thrill with the twist of a throttle. Motorcycling is stronger than ever, and for good reason. It's fun as hell, and you're getting 100 miles to the gallon. But not every manufacturer has faired well. Many are still struggling, and the days of chopper madness are long gone. It's a tough market, which few have had the chance to crack.
Motorcycling has caught on as a cheap way to release the day-to-day stress and grab a handful of thrill with the twist of a throttle.
Harley-Davidson, on the other hand, has bucked this trend and has enjoyed a run of success over the past 10 years. Leading the charge behind the scenes has been the design team at H-D, speared by Willie G., spinning out factory custom brands that continue to corner the market. A bigger, better, more down-to-earth H-D has emerged as the people's motorcycle. Long gone are the days of Detroit's factory lines dictating tastes, evident with the rise and fall of so many automobile companies in recent history. They missed their mark. Harley listened and watched in the alleyways and dimly lit garages of real Americans, attending grassroots biker rally's and homegrown events where American culture is born and constantly being re-written.
Harley has cracked the code and gotten it right, while the others have spent years pissing into the wind. H-D has been creating bikes that real motorcycle enthusiasts have always wanted to build and ride on their own but were too broke to create themselves.
I had the extreme pleasure of hopping down to Miami and Daytona a few weeks back to meet with the extended Harley Team and test out H-D's latest wares. The first trip was a three-day whirlwind tour of the Keys, testing out the new 72 Sportster and SOFTAIL Slim models. This culminated in a 12-hour ride down to the tip of the Continental U.S.

Trusting God Through BrokenheartednessPosted Friday, January 4, 2013, at 2:29 PM
"I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My life makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble and afflicted hear and be glad.
O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.
I sought (inquired of) the Lord and required Him [of necessity and on the authority of His Word], and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant; their faces shall never blush for shame or be confused."
(Psalm 34:1-5, AMP)
This psalm was written during a time of David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him out, and was forced to go away.
Biblical commentators suggest that Abimelech was fearful of David's authority, thus, causing him to drive David away. Though David knew his enemies wanted him dead and he experienced heartbreak, he trusted in God's divine protection and sovereignty over his life.
A "broken heart" is often experienced when there has been a "break" in a relationship or when one has suffered loss. Feelings of abandonment and betrayal can quickly begin to overwhelm the broken heart.
Scripture tells us that David "changed his behavior before them" (1 Samuel 21:13). Many people change or "alter" their behavior because of what has been done to them. Been hurt? Walls get built up. Been betrayed? Lack of trust begins to develop. Don't let people or unforeseen circumstances alter who you are. There is a joy that cannot be thieved when a believer chooses to trust in God.
Jesus said that it is HIS job to "heal the brokenhearted" (Is 61:1-3). One's heart can begin to beat again, live again, and love again when realized that healing comes from Christ alone.
David, even through times of loss and betrayal, continued to praise the Lord. The end result was a face that is radiant with victory rather than one that is shameful with defeat. Those rightly related to the Lord often suffer much affliction, however, those who seek the Lord will never lack the experience of God's goodness, even in difficult times.
Today I encourage you to choose to believe again. Choose to believe that God has a future purpose and plan for your life, regardless of circumstances or what has been done to you. Faith in the Lord does not mean that one is void of adversity, however, one can rest assured that ultimately, victory belongs to those who follow the Lord.

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
We develop methods and facilities for measuring magnetization dynamics in magnetic nanostructures with a particular emphasis on the emerging needs of future electronics. The dynamics of nanomagnets underpin existing commercial products such as computer hard drives and magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) chips. Nanomagnet dynamics are also at the heart of a wide array of devices currently under development or proposed for future electronics.
For these applications, it will be important to understand and control variations in material properties as a function of device geometry. At the CNST, we are developing dynamic measurement techniques to characterize the properties of magnetic nanostructures and their interactions with spin-polarized electrical currents. The results of this work will help to improve the uniformity and reliability of future electronics based on magnetic nanodevices.
The motion of the magnetization in magnetic nanostructures is at the core of important technologies such as computer hard drives and magnetic memory chips. Additionally, emerging technologies such as magnetic logic and second-generation spin-torque memory chips write and read "bits" of information by switching and sensing the magnetization state in nanostructures.
In this project we develop measurement methods to aid the development of new nanomagnet-based devices. We focus our efforts in two areas: (1) the development of a ferromagnetic resonance force microscope that allows us to probe, manipulate and image the dynamic behavior of individual nanostructures, and (2) measuring the "spin torque" effects of electron spins carried by electrical currents.
The ferromagnetic resonance force microscope addresses a number of challenges facing the development of nanomagnet-based future electronics. One such challenge is that a few small defects can ruin a product such as a memory chip that relies on the uniform operation of many nanodevices. While a number of existing tools, including electron microscopy, are available for characterizing structural and chemical properties, the magnetic properties can be the primary concern. Magnetic resonance microscopy allows us to measure magnetic properties on a device-by device basis, or even at different locations within a device, by measuring the frequency of precession (magnetic vibration) of the magnetization. We have constructed a ferromagnetic resonance force microscope, which detects precession through small changes in the magnetic forces between the sample and a magnetic tip on a scanned probe. The figure shows an image of a precession mode that is localized at the edge of a magnetic disk. This mode is especially sensitive to the properties of the edge, including damage incurred during lithography.
To move beyond the limitations of force detection, our recent efforts focus on using nitrogen-vacancy defects in diamond to detect ferromagnetic resonance in nanostructures. The atom-scale size of these defects and their demonstrated magnetic sensitivity are properties that we seek to harness for improved resolution and sensitivity in magnetic resonance microscopy.
In addition to magnetic microscopy, we also work toward harnessing fiber-optic telecommunications technology for magnetization dynamics measurements, with the long-term goal of providing facilities for non-contact measurements of magnetization dynamics. We expect the non-contact methods to offer advantages both in terms of easy access to measurements on different parts of a wafer, for example, and also in terms of freedom from frequency limitations imposed by microwave connectors. The frequency range of interest, roughly 1 GHz to 100 GHz, has been the domain of microwave equipment, but the microwave engineering becomes increasingly difficult at the higher frequencies. Keywords: synergy, paradigm shift, cross-cutting, interdisciplinary, mauve, moving forward, cutting edge, collaborative environment.

Bobby Fischer was astonishing if only because of his precocity.
In 1958 at the age of 15 he became the U.S. champion, signaling an end to the chess dynasty of Sammy Reshevsky, who had dominated American chess for a couple of decades.
Later that year, he became the youngest ever to be awarded the grandmaster title. That record endured for 33 years.
Garry Kasparov later described his American predecessor as being a decade ahead of his time.
Fischer showed his talents early against Russian and Soviet players at the Central Chess Club - at the time the best in the world - during a Moscow trip in 1958 shortly after winning the American title from Reshevsky. One of his opponents was the future grandmaster Vladimir Alatortsev who, according to the Russian historians Vladimir and Isaac Linder, "saw a tall, angular 15-year-old who in blitz games crushed almost everyone who crossed his path."
Losing all three games he played with the teenager, "he (Alatortsev) was astonished by the play of the young American Robert Fischer, his fantastic self confidence, amazing chess erudition and simply brilliant play."
Later, he told his wife and others in admiration: "This is a future world champion."
Alatortsev's predictions materialized when Fischer steamrolled Soviet players in a series of tournaments and matches culminating in a one-sided victory in 1972 against the Soviet world champion Boris Spassky in Reykjavik Iceland.
Below is a win by Michael Adams against Peter Svidler from the 5th Classic KO tournament in London, England.

Definition of tagmeme in English:
(In tagmemics) a slot in a syntactic frame which may be filled by any member of a set of appropriate linguistic items.
Example sentences
- Then in 1964 he came up with the idea of setting up contrastive tagmemes of subject-as-actor in contrast to subject-as-goal.
- Tagmemics is a method of finding things out, of conceptualizing reality, and it is this method of conceptualization, rather than the tagmeme as an all-purpose tool, that [a guy named] Pike has brought to composition.
- A tagmeme is described by a slot and class relationship (optionally including role and cohesion in the four-celled tagmeme).
1930s: from Greek tagma 'arrangement' + -eme.

fields can have a dramatic influence on the outcome of certain chemical
reactions. In general, these are reactions that involve the intermediacy
of free radicals, or molecules that by possessing an odd number
of electrons, can be viewed as "molecular magnets". Free radicals
are usually short lived (<10-3 s) and decay either by reactions
with other free radicals, or by reacting with molecules, in which case,
a new free radical is generated. In the last few years, there has been
considerable interest in the biological and health sciences in relation
to possible health risks associated with the environmental exposure to
magnetic fields related to the production, distribution and utilization
of electrical energy.1,2 It seems reasonable to assume that
any health related consequences must result from biological effects, and
that these, in turn, can only result if a magnetic field can exert influence
at a molecular level. On the basis of the premise, we have directed our
research toward the understanding of simple chemical systems that can be
influenced by modest magnetic fields.3-10. To put this in perspective,
the magnetic field from the earth is ~0.5 gauss, the field from a small
laboratory stirring magnet around 100 gauss and spectroscopic instrumentation
(such as ESR and NMR) can involve fields in the 10,000 gauss range. In
all cases, the energies associated with these field (<1 cal) are minute
in relation to bond energies, or to the thermal energy content of molecules
at room temperature. How can such a small energy influence the course of
a chemical reaction? The answer is the understanding of the radical
pair mechanism.
The magnetic properties of a free radical are related to the spin
of the residual electron. That is, molecules with an even number
of electrons usually have an identical number of electrons with spin "up"
(or north) and spin "down" (or south). Thus, while
each electron can be viewed as a magnet, these magnets are fully balanced
in the molecule. Such balance cannot be achieved in a free radical because
they contain an odd number of electrons.
Whenever two radicals come together, either by chance, or because
of the form of generation, their spins can be opposite or parallel. Only
in the case of opposite spins can they react to form a stable molecule
that has the proper magnetic balance. This is illustrated in Figure 1,
Path A, where the radicals are represented by circles with arrows that
remind us of the spin of these species. When this is the case, a magnetic
field can only have a minor effect on the outcome of the reaction. However,
when the spins are parallel (described as a triplet radical pair),
the situation is quite different since formation of a stable molecule requires
a change of spin, the equivalent to rotating a magnet (Figure 1, path B).
How are these magnetic field effects manifested? Figure 2 shows an example in which a radical pair confined to a small space (provided by a micelle) has been generated in the triplet state using laser techniques.10 The two radicals in this case are derived from benzophenone and melatonin; the latter is a hormone produced by the pineal gland that controls the circadian rhythm.11 The trace in the absence of field contains a fast and slow decay. The fast decay corresponds to those radicals that decay by reaction with their partner in the pair, while the slow component shows that many radicals separate and then lack a reaction partner (i.e. they are no longer a radical pair). Those radicals that decay fast have succeeded in changing their spin so as to achieve the magnetic balance mentioned above.
Figure 3 illustrates the competition between the geminate decay
(fast, within the original radical pair), and separation processes that
lead to long lived radicals. An external field only influences radical
pairs, generally by slowing down processes that require a change of
spin. When a field is applied, less radicals can change their spin and
more succeed in separating from their partner. The consequence of this
is that, on average, radicals live longer and their overall concentration
increases when a field is applied.8 These effects are more pronounced
when the radicals are "encouraged" to stay together by some chemical
link or physical boundary. This boundary can be provided by a micelle (as
in our example), a bilayer membrane, or the organized structure of a cell.
Conceptually, we can rationalize these effects by stating that changing
the orientation of a magnet (spin) is more difficult when an external field
is applied. The physical phenomena underlying this process is related to
Zeeman splitting of the spin energy levels that hinders spin evolution.6,12
Over the last few years, a number of studies have shown that these
effects can occur in a wide range of chemical systems, and that they can
be caused either by static fields (as in our examples) or by oscillating
fields (e.g. 60 Hz),7 such as those produced by the
distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The model studies in
chemical systems have generally explored fields that are larger than typical
environmental fields. It remains to be established to what extent environmental
fields can influence biological processes.
Given the recognized importance of free radicals on a wide range
of biological processes, from aging to cancer, there is little doubt that
any external agent that can influence radical behavior can have health
consequences.1,13 It is likely that once controversies relating
to power lines and other environmental fields are resolved, the true potential
of magnetic fields from the perspective of therapeutic applications will
be recognized. Clearly, the ability to control free radical behavior can
be used to advantage in organic chemistry, biology and medicine.

While Polish tyro Rafal Majka was pooh-poohing that chances of his fellow escapees on the front of the race, French national champion Arnaud Demare was dropping something of his own during stage 14 of the Tour de France on Saturday.
Anyone well versed in Tour mountain stages is used to the sight of Demare very much rooted to the back-end of the race once the roads start to head up into the clouds.
But mid-way through the Col du Lautaret, Demare - chaparoned by a FDJ team-mate in the time-old manner of two girlfriends going to powder their noses in restaurant restrooms the world over - made a sudden surge from the bottom of the peloton.
The Tour debutant then edged clear of the pack in one of the most unlikely ostensible breakaways of the entire race before further puzzling viewers by pulling up at a roadside campervan and entering through the back door.
Am I hallucinating or did I just see Arnaud Démare climb into a camper van? #TDF
— Sadhbh O'Shea (@SadhbhOS) July 19, 2014
No hallucinations - it did actually happen. Look...
@SadhbhOS Yep! pic.twitter.com/rIyKjlQLRL
— Florian Kalz (@FlorianK_Sport) July 19, 2014
This sparked some good natured banter about the motives behind Demare's impromptu visit to the vehicle - perhaps to gain some kind of motorised assistance?
If we see a camper van passing the peloton, we know who's driving it. #TDF
— Sadhbh O'Shea (@SadhbhOS) July 19, 2014
The official Katusha social media person innocently thought it was perhaps a visit to a friend or relative - even though the van in question has a Belgian number plate and was nestled between vans emblazoned with American and Australian flags.
#TdF Arnaud Demare just stopped by the Camper… We wonder who's been waiting for him there. Fans or relatives? :)
— Katusha Team (@katushacycling) July 19, 2014
Of course, most of us with a typical British sense of humour were quicker to read between the lines...
You stand there all day by your mobile home, waiting for a fleeting glimpse of the French champion, then he invites himself in for a poo.
— Ned Boulting (@nedboulting) July 19, 2014
Yes, the real reason behind Demare's visit to the campervan was so he could shed some bib short ballast. You see, like many riders in this year's race, Demare had been struggling with illness and - in the fierce heat on the Lautaret - he needed to empty his bidons, so to speak.
If you're still in doubt, then an article on a Norwegian website later confirmed that Demare had been struck down by diarrhoea (or as they put it, "very loose stools"). When put through Google Translate, it does indeed make for comedy reading...
This Google translation of tv2.no's version of events gets to the bottom of Demare's campervan visit with, er, aplomb pic.twitter.com/A0nkmXGFUL
— Blazin' Saddles (@saddleblaze) July 19, 2014
The article also revealed that there had been a sequel to Demare's opportune campervan visit. Apparently, once his rivals eased up over the finish line, Demare "upped the pace" and entered a second motorhome next to the FDJ team bus - inside of which he spend 10 whole minutes before exiting "tired and relieved".
Perhaps the best thing about the whole article is the photo of Demare giving the reporters the thumbs-up after some much needed relief to his fiery day in the saddle.
@saddleblaze The picture to the article is amazing! pic.twitter.com/kCUuiVtxOZ
— Søren Sliwa (@S_Sliwa) July 19, 2014
Judging by her scowl, it's fair to say that the lady in pink was probably the van's unfortunate owner. Either that, or the person responsible for cleaning FDJ's kit every night...
The episode recalls a tricky moment in the career of Eurosport pundit Greg LeMond, who once famously followed through on a stage to Futuroscope, rode 60km with the evidence all over his shorts and legs, and then made a beeline to his team bus and a box of Bernard Hinault postcards to "boucler la boucle" as the French would say.
Unconfirmed reports that the unofficial FDJ campervan on the Lautaret contained some promotional postcards of Nacer Bouhanni... #TDF
— Blazin' Saddles (@saddleblaze) July 19, 2014
Moving on, and also having a stinker of a day was Spain's Alejandro Valverde, who cracked on the final climb to Risoul to lose exactly a minute to yellow jersey Vincenzo Nibali - and see his position on the podium threatened by French youngsters Romain Bardet and Thibaut Pinot.
French fans were certainly pleased to witness the Spaniard's demise after Valverde was branded a "rotten" sport by arguing with Pinot and refusing to ride with his rival on Friday's climb to Chamrousse. Valverde's wily antics apparently led the Movistar man to apologise to Pinot on Saturday morning - but the pair were at each other's throats again at Risoul.
Valverde :"Pinot m'a cassé mon dérailleur et j'ai dû finir sur la grosse plaque". Oulalah, il va y avoir du règlement de compte !! #TDF2014
— Marion Gachies (@MarionGachies) July 19, 2014
Speaking to reporters after the stage, Valverde indeed blamed his troubles on an alleged incident involving Pinot, with the Frenchman apparently breaking Valverde's derailleur and forcing him to ride the final 5km in the big ring. If true, then Pinot has more than got his own back... while the next instalment of their rivalry promises to be extremely spicy.
Finally, a quick word on stage winner Rafal Majka, a late call-up to Tinkoff-Saxo's Tour squad following the shock suspension of Roman Kreuziger prior to the race. Freed from the fetters of marshalling Alberto Contador, 24-year-old Majka has been in his element in the Alps - and apparently he had Saturday's stage down as his all along.
Ha. @Staghoj reports that, at dinner last night, Rafal Majka told his teammates that he would win today. Man of his word. #TDF
— Mikkel Condé v2.0 (@mrconde) July 19, 2014
If Majka was livid when he learnt of his late selection, it's fair to say that the Pole will now be happy he's topping podiums rather than topping up his tan this July. One thing's for sure, the man who pays his salary is quite happy.
We just won Tour de France queen stage with Rafael Majka. This diducated to @albertocontador and his recovery! Best team @tinkoff_saxo !
— Oleg Tinkov (@olegtinkov) July 19, 2014
In fact, Majka's win after Contador's shock withdrawal from the race proved all too emotional for Oleg Tinkov, who showed his soft side by bursting out in tears when interviewed on live television.
Tinkov is WEEPING live on French TV! See, he's a big pussycat really.

And finally, after the chateaux and mountains of the previous two blogs, how about some livestock on a mountain - even if they're sadly not overlooking a castle.

India constitutes 16 per cent of the world's population and about four per cent of the world's fresh water reserve. With a population of over 1.2 billion, which is growing at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 percent per annum, per capita availability of water has reduced from 5300 cubic metre per person per year in 1955 to 1545 cubic metres in 2011. Besides population growth, the increasing economic development, industrialisation, urbanisation and lifestyle changes in India during the last few decades has resulted in a substantial increase in demand for water. Consequentially, the setting up of appropriate institutional mechanisms for efficient, equitable and sustainable water resource development, management and allocation is a major policy challenge.

Q:What are the best options for sightseeing and enjoying Egypt with my children?
On any trip to Egypt, you have to take your children to the pyramids of Giza and for a camel ride around the site. They will also have loads of fun at the Egyptian Museum gazing at all the mummies and King Tut's golden mask. The temples around the Nile will have them living an Indiana Jones dream, and no need to say that the sun&fun combination makes the Red Sea a favourite among family travelers to Egypt.
Q:Should I take my kids on a Nile cruise?
If planning a cruise of the Nile with kids, a cruiser is a better choice than a felucca as children may get agitated on board the latter. On cruisers, they can take dips in the deck pool, play games, and run around more freely.
Q:What can my children eat while on holiday in Egypt?
Egyptians, including waiters, love children and make them feel welcome everywhere. Local food like Taameya, Shawarma, Kebabs, and Sheesh Tawook are favourites among the young. Western style restaurants, including junk food chains, are also available wherever you go. Local food is healthier though.
Q:Should I take my kids to the Western Desert?
It is advised that only older children are taken on trips to the Western Desert and even then make sure they always have sunscreen on and are always hydrated. Children usually get dehydrated faster than adults. The White Desert Safari is fun for the kids as they'll be trying to assign shapes to the chalk formations. x
Q:How to organize my trip to Egypt?
Egypt is varied and extensive; there are many sights to see and many things to experience. Use this website to learn about what's available and determine your priorities, then contact a travel agency to purchase the most suitable package, unless you feel like experiencing organizing it on your own. x
Q:What's the perfect one week vacation in Egypt?
If you're planning a one-week trip to Egypt, then you should stick to one region. Spend a week enjoying the Sun and Sea on the Red Sea Riviera, or take a cruise down the Nile that encompasses the sites from Luxor to Aswan. You can also explore the White Med Coast from Alexandria to Marsa Matrouh then move to Siwa Oasis for a taste of the Desert. Or just explore Cairo thoroughly. x
Q:What should I do to see as much as I can in two weeks in Egypt?
The best two week schedule to see Egypt's most renowned sites starts in Cairo, at the Giza pyramids, then the Egyptian Museum. At night take a dinner cruise on the Nile. On your 2nd day, walk through old Cairo and stop at Khan el Khalili. Continue by train or plane to Luxor, embark on a Nile cruise to Aswan then head to Lake Nasser and the Abu Simbel temples. Spend the last days in the Red Sea Riviera town of your choice. x
Q:I want to experience Egypt off the beaten path, where should I go?
Head to the Western Desert and tour the oases to understand the culture of the people who call them home. Travel the Sinai Peninsula, climb Mount Moses and visit the Bedouins of the region. Check out our itineraries page for more ideas. x
Q:Is it Safe to come to Egypt?
Egypt is generally a safe destination, crime has low prevalence. As a tourist, your most major concern would be pick pockets in crowded souks just like anywhere else. x
Q:Who can help me if I get into trouble?
The Egyptian Tourist Police is very well trained; its agents are usually within reach, and you shall not find any communication problems with them as they all speak English. To call them, just dial 126. x
Q:What is the currency in Egypt?
The currency in Egypt is the Egyptian pound (EGP), known in Arabic as the "Geneih". 100 piasters, known in Arabic as "irsh", make up the pound. Notes come in denominations of 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 1 pound, and 50 & 25 piasters. All have writing in both Arabic and English.x
Q:What about money exchange?
You can easily exchange currency at banks, official exchange bureaus, and many hotels. Banks usually offer the best exchange rates.x
Q:Can I use my Credit Cards in Egypt?
You can generally use major credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Diners Club at larger establishments and many hotels. In more remote locations they will be harder to use. You can also easily get cash advances from some Egyptian Banks using certain credit cards. x
Q:Should I bring my laptop?
Of course! It is very likely that your hotel will provide internet access. Prepare for electricity discrepancies though: if you have a type "C" plug, you will most likely need an adaptor. Also its is important to note that the voltage level in Egypt is 220 to 230V. x
Q:Is Internet available in Egypt?
Internet is available at "Net cafés" throughout Egypt, many hotels offer Internet services as well. Wireless hotspots are also available in cafés and restaurants in all major Egyptian cities and towns. x
Q:Am I allowed to bring cigarettes and alcohol into Egypt?
You can import a maximum of 200 cigarettes, 25 cigars or 200 g of tobacco to Egypt, and a maximum of 2 liters of alcohol. x
Q:Is the import or export of certain goods prohibited?
The Egyptian customs prohibit the import of drugs, firearms and cotton. The export of narcotics and firearms is prohibited as well. Cotton, gold, and silver can be exported in small quantities. It is strictly forbidden to export an item older than 100 years, unless you have a license. x
Q:Are touristic sites accessible to physically challenged travelers?
Mobility impaired persons may have some trouble getting around the archaeological sites in Egypt, due to narrow passageways, and steep uneven stairs but work is being done to improve the disabled travel conditions in Egypt and a helpful hand is always near.x
Q:Are there any taxi or bus companies that cater for physically challenged travelers?
Many of the taxis in Egypt are large hatchbacks and it is not difficult to commission one for the day once you make an agreement with the driver. There are also some companies who prepare tours for the physically disabled or challenged tourists.x
Q:What kind of experiences does Egypt offer to its physically challenged guests?
Egypt has some pretty unexpected experiences on offer for disabled travelers. Contact your travel agent through whom you'll be able to organize a diving holiday in the Red Sea, or even mountain climbing activities. Well-trained professionals provide the support and equipment needed.x
Q:Are hotels in Egypt equipped with disabled facilities?
Most of 4 and 5 stars hotels in Egypt can cater for guests of restricted mobility. Upon reservation, inform the hotel's administration about your needs and expectations. x

Country Singer McCreery Victim of Home Invasion
Published: Monday, May 5, 2014 at 3:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 5, 2014 at 3:51 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. | Police say country music singer Scotty McCreery was the victim of an early morning home invasion near the campus of North Carolina State University, where he is a student.
Raleigh Police spokesman Jim Sughrue says officers were called shortly before 2 a.m. Monday to an apartment about a mile from campus. Three suspects armed with guns are reported to have taken wallets, cash and electronic items.
Police say the 20-year-old McCreery was among the victims. No one was injured.
A native of nearby Garner, McCreery won TV's "American Idol" in 2011. He was named best new artist at the Academy of Country Music Awards the next year. In addition to being a recording star and a pitchman for Bojangles' Chicken 'n Biscuits, McCreery is wrapping up his sophomore year of college.

The Epic of Gilgamesh
by Sinleqqiunninni
The Epic of Gilgamesh Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Tablet.Line)
Quote #10
Before him there were trees of precious stones,
and he went straight to look at them.
The tree bears carnelian as its fruit,
laden with clusters (of jewels), dazzling to behold,
—it bears lapis lazuli as foliage,
bearing fruit, a delight to look upon. (9.280-285)
As soon as Gilgamesh arrives at the underside of the earth, he sees trees bearing precious stones. This is oddly appropriate to this strange realm where nobody dies—fruits made of stones presumably don't die either. That said, these trees do seem eerily unnatural. Does this mean that nature only exists where things are able to die?

100 taps. i dont know how much everything moves. may not bea prime desination for beer freaks as its a pint or a small sample.
PMgep (46) Lund, Sweden | July 15, 2016
Visited in Februari 2016. Last stop of the evening, we wanted a beer each and some mead. Huge selection of beer but at first we didnt even see any mead. When we found it, it was a really short list. Service was horrible, extremely slow and uninterested in helping us. We had the beer, a glass of mead and left. Would not go back.
jc1762 (74) Washington DC | May 8, 2016
Ambiance ranges from rock to hip hop mostly from the 90s for nostalgia purposes. Bar counter seating, table seating, second floor with more table seating. Dimly lit and great for groups or dates. Pours are pretty standard but a lot of great beers always on tap and the food is just as great. Staff are knowledgeable about the food and beer, happy to provide help whenever needed.
Stoned99 (51) Montreal, Quebec | February 27, 2016
Big place with lots of taps, around 100 taps from all around the world. The price list is quite expensive though but all their beers are served in the proper glassware: brewer glass + style glass so I guess that can explain the prices. And Im only talking about the draft beer. Bottles are inaccessibly high. Quite crowded and noisy place. I could sure spend a few hours / days here drinking all the great beers they have. My wallet wouldnt be too happy about that though.
Scopey (641) Croydon, England | January 27, 2016
We visited Meadhall straight after our inaugural trip to Lord Hobo. It must only be about a 10 minute walk away. Inside it is rather large and modern, perhaps lacking in a bit of personal character. The array of tap handles behind the bar is an imposing site. They offer up to 100 beers of draught which is pretty bonkers. As such the selection is pretty varied from plenty crafty nationals such as Lagunitas, Sierra Nevada , Stone etc to more local and more obscure offerings. Im sure most people would find a few beverages worth sampling! I had some Kent Falls, Allagash and Founders. Highlight of the visit was the hot sauce barrel-aged Founders IPA .! Had a pretty fun time all in all. One of Bostons best beer bars.
fluffy (124) St Petersburg, Florida | December 5, 2015
Easily the best place I visited in Boston, great selection at decent prices. Will be my go-to next time I go.
Iznogud (300) , Croatia | October 10, 2015
Visited in early evening, very close to the Kendall station. Id say just the right number of people in there it wasnt crowded or empty. Felt a bit upscale, modern bar. Tap selection is impressive. Diversity of beer styles, mostly US and some Belgian and German brews. Yes, there are lots of classics which most tickers have tried, but I believe everyone should be able to find something for themselves. Selection makes up for a bit lacking atmosphere. Without a question Id come back, and spend an evening or two.
gdierksen (4) Brookline, Massachusetts | June 19, 2015
The first thing you notice on walking in is the impressive number of taps behind the bar. They have a vast selection on draft and a good number of bottles to choose from as well. The food is quite good, though mostly your standard pub fare. Service is usually very helpful and attentive but after work hours on a Thursday or Friday it can be very difficult to get the bar tenders attention. I particularly like how they have a random beer on nitro at all times be it stout, porter, or IPA.
kevinsenn (126) Waterloo, Ontario | June 15, 2015
First impressions: so many taps! What a great place! Selection is top-notch. Tons of IPAs (and PAs, and IIPAs). Good imperial stouts, even though its summer. I finally got to try Founders KBS! New England and US craft beer is the focus, but many good European beers too. Only had a few snacks so I cant really comment on the food. Service was good (it wasnt too busy when I was in), and the prices were OK. The beer selection is enough to bring me back whenever Im in the area.
nate2g (1094) Boomtown!, Australia | April 27, 2015
Large space that kind of feels like a purposefully designed drinking barn (oh wait, I guess it is). A 360 bar with 100 taps so theres plenty to choose from. I settled for a Pretty Things Jack DOr and expect to see the likes of Jacks Abby, Maine, Lagunitas and other breweries from the West Coast. Hard to say how fresh a lot of this stuff is though. The Belgians seemed the most popular with other patrons and theres an impressive selection of glassware for the beers. As the name implies, a cool selection of mead is listed on the back wall. I ordered the chowder which was bland and questionable. Service was slow to begin with but once I was acknowledged things were good. All said, its worth coming by to check out the selection and grab a beer before setting off for the other Cambridge beery spots.

Definition of a Semester Hour of Credit
Juniata's guidelines for defining the approximate amount of work required for one semester hour of credit is as follows: For a course composed of classroom instruction, a semester hour of credit would normally involve 14 to 15 meeting times each semester with each lecture class meeting for 55 minutes. For one credit of a laboratory course the student should have three to four hours of laboratory instruction each week of the semester.For each hour of classroom instruction the student is expected to do two hours of preparation. Therefore, a typical three semester hour credit course over a semester would include 43 to 44 hours of class meetings and 86 to 88 hours of student work out of the classroom

The Edinburgh Fringe
Fringe 2008 Reviews (52)
Kunst ist Scheisse
If never quite living up to the marvellous Teutonic profanity of the title, Kunst ist Scheisse is a fast-moving burlesque parody that would flourish with a rowdier audience. Keeping on the right side of the erotic and playful, it is a series of sketches - some musical, some dance, some monologues - that don't add up to much beyond some good humoured belly-laughs. It larks around with the format, discovers untold pathos in old eighties' hits and stumbles around pop-culture references.
As with so much modern burlesque, craft and focus are often lost in the general cute amateurism - perhaps to avoid eroticism, the mood is throwaway and absurd. Yet they avoid the self-importance that bloats evenings like Club Noir and willingly work the audience hard. Eva Johansen, MC and chanteuse, has a strong voice, emotive and aggressive, while Alice Palermo and Kate Sumner beautifully send up everything from go-go dancing to romantic story-telling. Individually, each act has a strong theme, but it does not add up to a satisfying whole.
However, it conforms to an important Fringe directive - make it witty and brief - and the late night slot is appropriate. A slightly rowdier crowd, and a tighter script, would make it far more than a great title and a passable show.

Dance without Movement
A single actress tells the story of Zuleikha, a Pakistani girl who lives in Britain but finds herself defined by everyone else - except herself. She is an outsider at school, the eldest child at home and duty bound to do what's right. Performing numerous other characters in her family the actress becomes her mother, uncle, husband and family in Pakistan. Working hard in her profession she finally returns home one fateful night to see those people around her with new clarity.
A consummate performance from a talented actress who provides an insightful glimpse into the life of an Asian woman bound to her family duties and yet wanting to pursue her own passions.
Cecily Boys
Finished with Engines
This hour-long team up between two founder members of American company, The Riot Group and Glasgow's Arches Theatre will inevitably be compared with Pugilist Specialist.
That play was a quirky, wordy but sparkling meditation on war and life written for The Riot Group by its leading light Adriano Shaplin, now working with the RSC.
Finished with Engines sees Megan and Hemingway, seemingly alone on a US Navy vessel in the Gulf. They are in the vanguard of the War on Terror but these are no ordinary sailors.
Judging by his hat, Drew Friedman's Hemingway is an Ordinary Seaman but with three degrees in different subjects, he is a great philosopher and not a bad sandwich maker.
Megan, played by Stephanie Viola, is an officer, who knows more about a strategy that, it is more than hinted, could include the "red button" or nuclear option.
This is a chilling, short consideration of the global strife caused by 9/11 and its aftermath but having created a worthwhile situation, there is too little discussion or debate on the important issues.

Golden Cross: Technical Indicator Was Spot On
It's been about a month and a half since the infamous "Golden Cross" took place on the S&P 500, which is as good a time as any to look back and determine whether this was actually a good buy signal.
So far so good.
The closely watched bullish technical indicator — which takes place when a 50-day moving average moves above the 200-day moving average, essentially creating a "cross" on charts – arrived at the end of January, just as investors were celebrating the S&P 500′s best start to a year since 1997.
Golden crosses typically offer confirmation of a bullish trend and suggest more gains are in the offing over the next 12 months.
Turns out the crystal ball has been on point. Since the end of January, the S&P 500 has jumped from 1312 to above 1400, good for about a 7% gain. Not too shabby.
Sure there are plenty of skeptics who love to bemoan the golden cross, death cross, Hindenburg Omen and other technical signals. Critics consider these technical signs to be nothing more than hocus pocus, especially since they rarely account for actual fundamentals that can sway the market.
And yes, the market's big rally probably has more to do with an improving economy and an easing of Europe's sovereign-debt crisis than the glittering of the golden cross.
But technical indicators tend to become self-fulfilling prophecies, especially if they attract enough attention. The more people that follow them, the bigger the momentum that can take place, which can exacerbate moves.
It's hard to argue with recent results. As we noted last month, there have been 31 golden cross sightings since 1950. In the 12 months following these flashes, the S&P 500 has averaged a 10.2% gain.
Based solely on this indicator, stocks could have more room to run higher.
The S&P 500 recently edged up 2 points, or 0.2%, to 1405.
