Historical Traveler Reviews Le Coco Beach Hotel Mahebourg
Great Family Feeling
Natural is the way I rate it, since it makes U feel close to nature & closer to yourself. I stayed for ten night with my wife and our son. It gave us a chance to find ourselvs - again- in this nature-friendly place.
Brilliant Family Hotel
After a long & tiring journey we were given a very warm & friendly greeting upon our arrival at Le Coco Beach, which set the tone for the holiday.
Although fairly basic, the rooms were bright, spacious & clean. The service was excellent, staff were very efficient & displayed genuine friendliness (as opposed to the false brashness of the staff we have encountered many times in the USA).
The dining options were great, with a terrific selection on offer for breakfast & evening meals in the main restaurant, along with a decent selection of light bites for lunch at the pool side restaurant. The Boathouse makes a really pleasant change for an evening meal, but although the food is excellent quality it is a bit pricey.
The kids clubs were great with plenty of activities for the younger kids & a place for teens to 'hang' out together, plus a great Teens Rep who managed to motivate the teens to take part in many of the activities!
The swimming pool was large with various depths to suit all ages. The beaches were beautiful & the grounds around the resort landscaped really nicely.
The evening entertainment is limited to a games room, a 1 hour dance show most evenings & a disco, which can become a bit monotonous after a week or so.
As well as the excellent service & friendly staff, the activities themselves are what really made the holiday for us. Along with daily volleyball, water polo & tennis sessions, we also loved the snorkelling, kayaking, sailing lessons, water skiing lessons, scuba lessons & various daily demonstrations.
Although the weather was a bit unsettled, we all had a wonderful time with our 13 year old highlighting this as her best holiday ever (comparing it with the UK, multiple European destinations, various USA destinations, Fiji & Australia) which is an excellent reflection on the Hotel & it's staff!
Probably one of the worst on the island at this price
We stayed at the Le Coco Beach for 2-weeks during July. the weather was mixed with many storms but overall very hot and to be extpected.
The hotel touted as being a Superior Medium Class is no more than we would expect from a 2/3 star at best.
The grounds are beautiful and befitting one of it's 5 star neighbours but that is where it stops! The food is very very poor, lukewarm buffet with little or no changes aside from the mutlitude of Birds who openly peck at the display! That said you can pay an extra �60-�100 per night to eat in teh stunning Boat House A la Carte restaurant! believe me after a week of the buffet you will pay it!
The beaches are beautiful but dirty with most sun beds damaged. The pool is reasonably clean but the surrounding patio dirty cracked and very tired. the poor bar is ok but the foods -----!
The brochure says 3 restaurants but there is only one included in the All Inclusive. Out of 123 drinks on teh menu only 18 are AI!!!! Most of the daytime food menu is not included either making it the worst AI i have ever experienced.
I pity anyone who stay in the 1 star main hotel building which is butlins 30 years ago. Dirty tired and needing pulling down. The villas we were lucky enough to stay in were nice but still very tired.
Overall a very poor excuse for a high class Indian Ocean hotel. My advise is to go to the Belle Mare Plage next door - Stunning!
Worth note is that the Lo Coco Beach is being bulldozed to the ground in Feb 2006 so please dont book to go then. They are almost totally rebuiling it which speaks for itself!
If you love screaming kids, dirty rooms, awful food and no value for money then go to this place!
Fabulous staff, children's paradise
I have stayed at the coco beach 3 times and have always found the staff to be charming particularly with children. My children were 18m and 3 1/2 the first time they went and each year when they have returned the staff from the dining room to the kids club to the recreational stafff have remembered their names, looked after them and showed them the best care possible. The beaches are fabulous. There are 6 seperate beaches a safe lagoon for learning to snorkel, rock pools for finding crabs, fish and shells. It is possible to find a beach of your own with no problem and they are all safe. At the long beach you can feed angel fish by hand! Paradise for small children. The food is great sumptuous buffets served by the friendliest staff I have met(and as I was longhaul cabin crew for 15 years I have met a lot of hotel staff!)Should your children not like the pizzas pastas curries salads vegetables or speciality dishes on offer the staff are more than willing to rustle up chips and chicken nuggets! The only downside to this hotel is that the rooms are fairly basic and the bathrooms are in need of a facelift but if you have small, messy children who are covered in suntan lotion and sand you may find it a blessing to have a room that you do not have to worry about too much. Excellent value for money, not the most luxurious hotel but if you want a fabulous child friendly destination and find that if your children are happpy so are you this is the ideal place.
The Worst Experience of My Life
This has to be the worst hotel I have been to in my life, I have stayed in Sun International Hotels before,(Royal Mirage, Dubai.Amazing). So I was under the impression that this may be less stars but it is bound to be of some good standard. I have to say that the whole experience was unpleasant from start to finish. The rooms are shabby to say the least, the staff are rude and the whole reason why I booked this place was because of the Kids Club but I was horrified to find that my 8 year old boy was actually physically and verbally attacked my one of the kids club nannies. I did bring this up with the management and I also complained to Sun International but not even a simple apologie. I would seriously advise anyone to save their money (let me tell you this place is not cheap) but it sure looks cheap.
Loud decor, great facilities
First the negative points:
The decor of the main building is very gaudy. It doesn't extend to the rooms, but sometimes it feels like you're eating dinner in Disneyland.
The standard rooms are packed quite close together so you don't get much of a sense of privacy. Paying a little extra for a villa is definitely worth it.
The whole hotel feels in need of a little maintenance. Nothing serious but plenty of cracked paint, chipped tiles etc.
The evening entertainment is very cheesy. Dance renditions of 80's movie soundtracks etc. You may struggle to enjoy it even on a kitch level.
But, on the plus side:
The main beach is excellent, with clean white sand and a snorkelling reef just offshore. It was so good that we didn't actually use the pool. It looked fine, though - a good size and not too crowded.
There are plenty of activities, all well maintained and well staffed. The pitch and putt course is a highlight, plus a games room for younger visitors.
The food is very good. Plenty of variety at the buffets and the boathouse restaurant is excellent.
The bar is open till 1am and has a decent selection. To get away from the evening entertainment and disco, I would recommend getting a couple of rounds and taking them down to the beach.
Beautifully landscaped, spacious grounds. Plenty of room for walking/cycling but perhaps too big for elderly or disabled guests.
Butlins in Indian ocean
Stayed at the above hotel 7th February 2005 until 21st February 2005
Badly in need of updating the whole place. Rooms very basic cracked sinks
black grout amazing amount of ants. balconies are not private at all and you cannot only see your neighbour either side but all the way down the block. No seaview due to masses of palm trees but when the wind blows you do get glimpses.
Lots of wild dogs on beach which come in to complex around pool etc one even paid us a visit one evening in the restaurant. No air conditioning except in your bedroom. Basically one bar for the evening with arcade machines and pinball machines to one side and dance floor to the other people stood at the bar at 7p.m with no shirts on in swim shorts having a drink personally i like to shower freshen up and put evening wear on!
Pool again lots of cracked tiles around so children beware a few cut feet were witnesses whilst we were there
All inclusive is definately worth doing as four cokes are about �8! pizza for lunch �8 The Boat house alacarte was very good but expensive they give you �8 per person towards meal which basically covers a starter. cost for main course was approx �20.00 each
On the positive side we took my 2 year old and 4 year old and the kids club was fantastic! open 9 - 5.30 with different theme everyday pirates nature cowboys etc glass bottom boat horse riding all very welled cared for and plenty of trained nannies on hand.
Paid extra in evening for them to babysit in room
We did hear hotel is going through massive refurbishment next year and part of it bulldozed! so my advise is wait a year for this to be completed if your active and enjoy watersports snokelling etc this could be the place for you if you have any questions i would be happy to be honest!
Only for the families
This is a family hotel. Rooms are very basic and in severe need of updating. Cracked baths, basin surround chipped and generally shabby. The decor is loud.
On the up side, the staff were very friendly and helpful.
On the down side, it's expensive and the children of guests were numerous and loud. You cannot escape them unless you can find a private spot far away from them. Near the pool, in the main dining area - in fact practically all over the resort there are relentlessly screaming children.
Would never stay there again.
Wonderful time
Went to the Coco beach in february 2004 on an All Inclusive basis. Definitely recommend all inclusive as there are few shops outside the sprawling hotel resort.
The hotel was of a good standard, offering a range of sports activities, an excellent kids club and the buffet meals were very enjoyable.
The staff were genuinely friendly. There is a good pool area and the beach is fabulous. I would also advise people to go out and get a taste of real mauritius by visiting the small towns and Port Louis.
A Pleasant surprise
We ended up at this hotel after being shafted by the tour company Asia Travel. Took our money up front for La Pirogue 4* and we were taken to Le Coco Beach 3* without choice. So felt very negative on arrival at a "Lively Family" hotel for our romantic couples holiday. But it really won us over. We had a lovely room in the villa area with a beautiful 2 minute walk through the fabulous garden to one one of the 4 white sandy beaches, where we snorkelled and sunbathed. Not much in the way of refreshments on the beach, but it was a short walk to the pool bar. Beach vendors were plentiful, but not aggressive. On the other side of our villa was a 9 hole pitch and putt course. Not having played for years we were apprehensive, but there was no one watching and we hacked around it several times a day. Just fantastic, even in the odd downpour. We really enjoyed the food, standard buffet but great service, great location overlooking the pool area, great variety. No complaints. Entertainment wasn't to our taste, we spent most nights with quiet drinks and the movie channel on TV. The kids club looked brilliant and we were sorry we hadn't brought our 2 and 4 year olds. We will go back with them in the near future. The pool was very warm, not crowded with great burgers for lunch at the pool bar. We had our birthday celebration dinner in Le Boathouse restaurant, which was pricey, but superb. All in all well recovered, but will never use Asiatravel again.

Here's my story; I first found myself having the misfortune of having to deal with this department 3 years or so ago. At that time, they had attempted to transfer a child support order establish in Imperial County, California over to Yuma County, Arizona. Once I became aware of such action I was able to stop all they were doing IN ERROR, and correct the situation. Although I will say this task wasn't as easy or cut and dry as it sounds. It took months!
Here again, in year 2004, DCSE set out with the same intentions and in a nutshell, created a nightmare for myself and family. A nightmare I have yet to see an end anywhere near.
The child support order I am speaking in reference to is one for my 2 oldest children, established back in 1998, in Imperial County, CA. Although, there has always been an arrears balance, I have been lucky enough to have received $473.00 every other week (for the most part) since it was first established. In year 2000, I moved to Yuma County, AZ. As long as I kept my current address on file with the Child Support Dept. in Imperial County, everything was fine, until and unless DCSE, in Yuma County, AZ, took it upon themselves to intervene.
In October of this year, my family stopped receiving child support payments which were withhelded from my ex-husband's paycheck from his employer and submitted to Imperial County as per the instructions of the current wage assignment. After numerous phone calls I was informed by my case worker that my case was being terminated (wage assignment as well) at the request of DCSE Yuma County. And that all records were being transferred over to them. I voiced my disapproval of such action, but every attempt I have since made in preventing such action has been to no avail.
After further investigation, and contact with my ex-husband, I was informed that, as per wage assignment, money was still being withheld. This is from pay periods of late September on-going as recent as last week. Money I have not received. In addition to these payments, my ex-husband informed me other payments in the amount of $2955.00 and $644.00 (from IRS refund offsetted for arrears) were in fact also applied to child support in September 2004. My ex-husband was kind enough to fax me all documentation related to this, even copies of his paycheck stubs. In talking to my case worker in Imperial County, she did acknowledge payments they received but said they too were forwarded to Yuma County, AZ.
This began the countless calls, personal visits, and numerous letters to the Department of Child Support Enforcement DCSE, in Yuma County, AZ. And to date, their agency has no record of this money. I have personally provided them the necessary documents pretaining to this matter, and yet no results. We are talking money in excess of $5000.00 in total. I have several other issues with this agency but none as urgent as locating this money first. My family's welfare hinges on receiving this money and straightening out the administration of future payments. After exhausting all options available to me, I have now arranged a meeting with an attorney this week. I know little else to do.
All I can say is my ex-husband makes these payments to the Department of Child Support, in Imperial County, CA, under the pretense that such payments will be processed (in average of 2 days)and then forwarded on to his children, not another STATE AGENCY, not to be helded in some instances of 60 DAYS OR MORE.
If this isn't illegal I don't know what is.
In closing, I hope through the assistance of RIP-OFF, or some other organization I have contacted, the Arizona Department of Child Support Enforcement will in fact be held ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS SOMETIME SOON. Until then, they are doing a major injustice to the children their agency was formed to aid and assist.

Principi di Economia Politica
E' in uscita l'edizione italiana, curata da Marika Macchi e me per la Pearson Italia, del libro "Economics" di Acemoglu, Laibson e List.
In Italia sarà disponibile in due volumi:
Principi di Economia Politica (micro + macro)
L'Unione (Monetaria) Europea a un bivio
E' appena uscito uno scritto divulgativo su: "L'Unione (Monetaria) Europea a un bivio".
"Non sappiamo se alla fine del 2016 potremo dire che la crisi globale con cui conviviamo da quasi un decennio è stata veramente una crisi a "W" come teorizzata da molti economisti della carta stampata. Sicuramente dovremo ripensare al modo in cui le istituzioni, soprattutto quelle europee, hanno visto o interpretato questa crisi. Ma soprattutto a come l'Unione Europa (UE) ha risposto.
Contagiata dalla crisi americana, l'Europa non ha dato subito una risposta decisa alla crisi e si è scoperta, all'inizio del 2010, debole e frastornata. Dopo 5 anni di crisi del debito europeo (non solo greco), il rallentamento dei paesi emergenti - in primis, e per motivi diversi, di Brasile, Cina e Russia - sembra porre un ulteriore freno alla già debole crescita mondiale.
La crisi ha rilevato le debolezze dell'Unione Monetaria Europea (UME), la sovrapposizione di istituzioni (BCE e UE) che rappresentano (quasi) attori diversi ma con fini contrapposti, e da ultimo ha rafforzato l'idea che il processo di "Unione" sia monco, mancando un soggetto politico legittimato attraverso elezioni e che risponda delle sue azioni davanti ai cittadini. Questi tre elementi erano in realtà già emersi fortemente prima della crisi e trovano nell'evoluzione della storia greca nell'UME una chiara evidenza. [...]"

The Heterogeneity of Foreign Direct Investors: Linking Affiliates to Parent Productivity

The Heterogeneity of Foreign Direct Investors: Linking Affiliates to Parent Productivity
We investigate the heterogeneity within the group of foreign direct investors and the relation between affiliates characteristics and parent productivity. Using data on Italian firms, we show that foreign direct investors differ in their productivity level according to their characteristics and their investment decisions. Larger parents by employment or sales tend to be more productive, to have more affiliates and to invest in a higher number of destinations. Focusing on manufacturing firms, we show econometrically that having more and larger affiliates in rich countries leads to higher ex-post productivity. In particular, investing in high income countries or both in high and low income countries is associated with a subsequent productivity premium vis-a-vis low income countries investors, especially for larger parents. Low income countries investors are found to be relatively more productive when operating in low technology sectors, while the opposite applies to high income countries investors.

Survive or Die? A Decade of Tough Competition for Foreign Affiliates
Firms' survival and internationalization are key elements to assess a country's competitiveness. In this paper, we draw on these two strands of literature and study how firms' characteristics affect demographic dynamics. We focus on foreign direct investors' survival probability, modelling it conditional on both parent company and affiliates' set of characteristics. The novelty of our approach is twofold: on the one hand, we generalize the base model used in business demography disentangling the effect of affiliates and parents. On the other hand, we stress the technological level relationships between affiliates and their investors.
For the empirical assessment, we use an original longitudinal database (2004 - 2012) for Italy.
We show that, larger affiliates of large investors compete better and survive more. Being part of networks of affiliates in the same country and/or sector also decrease the risk of exiting markets. When the investors have a higher (lower) technological level, their affiliates' failure probability increases (decreases). When the investor is more advanced than its affiliates, it considers the investment abroad like a cost-saving, low skills investment. The investor will easily disinvest, moving to a more convenient economic context. Affiliates with a higher level of technology, instead, are considered strategic to the parent company, due to skills, talent or competencies.
The Survival of Tuscan Firms
At the end a very old work in progress has become a WP. And unfortunately, it is not finished yet!
The Survival of Tuscan Firms (co-authored with Filippo Randelli)
In this paper we analyze the survival probability of firms in Tuscany (Italy) in the first decade of the 21st century. Using the Official Register of Firms, held by Unioncamere Toscany, we build a panel for the period 1998-2010. Taking into account both individual and context variables, we find that a higher institutional complexity and a lower population density have a positive and significant effect on probability to survive. Moreover, both MAR and Jacob externalities have a nonlinear effect on the probability to survive: it must be reached a minimum level so that the negative effects of competition are more than offset by the positive effects of networking.

Social Capital and Firm's Productivity in Italy
A new working paper:
Social Capital and Firm's Productivity in Italy: a Multilevel Approach
Matching and merging different databases, we study how firm's productivity is affected by individual characteristics and provincial context conditions in Italy. Mainly, we focus on the relation between social capital, in its different forms and dimensions and calculated at provincial level and firms' productivity, calculated using the non-parametric DEA approach. We find that exporting, self-financing firms, and firms belonging to groups, are more productive. In particular, Cooperative firms are more productive than limited company. Moreover, the variables capturing the social capital show strong positive correlation with firms' productivity, indicating that a widespread civism intended as pro-social behavior independent of specific interpersonal bounds, seems to create an economic environment which is more favorable to entrepreneurship and collaboration among firms, since it increases interpersonal trust, lowers transaction costs, enhances the compliance of formal or informal rules of fairness and fosters a more transparent, impartial and efficient working of the public administration.

Elayne is amazing. Such a great communicator. I felt completely at ease when I had my nipples pierced by her. From the minute we started to talk about the piercing, I knew I was in good hands. And throughout, I always knew what to expect. It was a fantastic time. I have never had a better piercing experience.
Thank you so much!! I love them!!

Regular soaks have helped me through the healing of my frenum ladder and are now providing comfort and relief to my newly acquired apadravya. The only word I can use to describe "the soak" is soothing. I'd like to thank you one more time for my most intense piercing experience to date! Keep up the incredible work. Love and miss you, ray

Hi Elayne,
It was my pleasure to meet you this past week at Prix on Sunset in West Hollywood. You and the Prix team made my piercing very easy. I wanted to share thoughts for women that might be considering...
Firstly prior to my piercing I contacted Elayne, and she was a dear and answered all of my questions. I also followed her pre- piercing recommendations and cut out several herbal vitamin that contained ingredients that were on Elayne's list of things not to have - and yes that included wine. I also purchased a complete multivitamin with vitamin K and iron to build my body's immunity and over all health. And I purchased vitamin C for post piercing health. The day of the piercing, I did take Tylenol (an approved pain killer.) I think all of these recommendations really helped to get my body physically prepared.
The day of the piercing, the Prix staff was great. Prix is immaculately clean. Elayne is very professional and knowledgeable, and she explained every step of the process from paperwork, to sterilization, to what she was doing and why. The entire process from prep to my leaving Prix, including jewelry purchase took one hour. The actual piercing was swift and took less than a minute. After there were thoughtful freebies, including sea salt, organic lubricant for sex, and a panty liner just in case. As I told Elayne, my private piercing was easier than my navel piercing! I left the studio with absolutely no discomfort.
I think the before care and after care that Elayne gives is critical to such an intimate piercing. I was able to resume my normal sexual activity within 72 hours; although I have taken oral sex off the table until being completely healed. My piercing looks great, I feel great, and I am eternally grateful for having had the opportunity to be pierced by one of the best.
Thanks so much Elayne, I appreciate you.
Continued blessings and success!
One last tip - travel size lotion bottles with wide opening work perfectly gor soaking on the go.

Hey Elayne, just wanted to say Hi. I started stretching my ears a few weeks ago, and researching body modification at the same time. I'm only sixteen, so I'm not yet able to really get anything done, but I already have a laundry list of mods that I want done when I turn eighteen. It seems everywhere I go, your name is mentioned and your book is linked to. I'm in the process of acquiring your book right now, and can't wait to read it. I also wanted to complement you on your tattoos. They are wonderful. I have wanted a pair of hawks wings for awhile, and looking at your angel wings, the wanting was only strengthened. :) Good luck, and may the wind be always at your back. - Forrest.

Elayne Angel has written a "must have" book for anyone interested in any type of piercing. The Piercing Bible is crammed with information to help you clearly understand all aspects of your piercing experience, including; piercing terms, safety, finding a qualified piercer, after-care and living with your piercing. Elayne shares her vast knowledge from her lifetime of professional experience in a totally accessible way. It's a fun, fast, interesting read and I couldn't put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed reading her book and highly recommend that anyone with 1 or 100 piercings keep this book as a permanent reference guide. Be sure to check out her videos too. It's great knowing what to expect before I ever walk into a piercing studio and I've discovered all kinds of fun piercings to consider in my personal body mod journey.

Another great experience. My VCH (done in Long Beach, CA Nov. '09)went off without a hitch and this time, in Hollywood, my tongue piercing went smoothly, too. Even my husband, who is EXTREMELY conservative, was impressed with your knowledge, concern, time spent, ability and the wonderful personalities of you and Buck. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hey Elayne, I just wanted to stop by and say thank you. I was very nervous about getting my VCH piercing but you made me feel extremely confortable. Today marks day two and the healing is going great. I hardly notice that it is there unless getting up from a sitting position. Very minimal pain if any. The bleeding has stopped as well. Prior to coming down and getting my VCH I researched many reviews regarding the pain and healing time. I was surprised to find that my experience was somewhat different from alot of reviews I read. The pain was hardly anything. Seriously, no joke. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Your book is such a wealth of information. I have learned so much in such a small amount of time. Thank you for such a great experience. Take Care

I just wanted to say thank you. I have read all through your blog and it convinced me to finally get the VCH piercing I've been wanting. I looked through your referral page and found Body Piercing By Bink. They were absolutely amazing! I drove 2 hrs to get to his shop because i was afraid of not getting what i wanted and i am SO glad that i did. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and with their professionalism. The whole experience was way easier than i could ever have imagined. And the piercing looks fantastic! Based on your photos and blog they did a top notch amazing job. So i just wanted to say thank you :)

Thank you for all your hardwork and dedication to the piercing industry. The right information is so important to have, as there are way too many people out there claiming to be piercers and tattoo artists. Keep up the good work, and thanks again.

Elayne's book made me feel much more comfortable about getting pierced and when i intended to get only one, i'm now on my fourth and still counting. It provides a great insight on what piercing really is and i still read it often.
July 3, 2011 - 10:06pm
hahaha! It was June-not July. Sorry. :-D
July 3, 2011 - 10:04pm
I drove 600 miles to New Orleans to meet you and have you pierce me in July! I am so happy that I did! Elayne, you are awesome! I have to say that my VCH has made me feel so much more confident and sexy! Now I just need the right jewelry. Thank you Elayne! I hope to see you again soon!

Thank you for such an amazing learning experience! I purchased your book over a year ago and was thrilled at how informative and extensive it was. I currently work at a tattoo shop as the sole piercer and have never once had any problems. I keep your book on hand for quick reference and take it to every tattoo party I work at outside of the shop. My clients find it to be very helpful when they are asking questions, or are unsure about what they want to pierce exactly. I am wondering if you have written anything in regards to dermals? I am now in training (self-taught just like with when I used your book to begin being a professional piercer) to begin offering them to my clients and would love any insight you could provide. Thanks again for being the BEST TEACHER I could of EVER asked for. Even how you wrote it made me feel completely at ease!!!! (As most know, when beginning as a piercer, one can feel alot of apprehension- but you made that all melt away in a snap!) Sincerely, Rae Jones [email protected]

I just got my copy of The Piercing Bible. I can't put it down. I've been piercing for 6 years now and I have learned so much in that time. I learn more every day. I think I have learned more in the last few hours then i have in the last few years. The advise is amazing and it really makes you evaluate yourself and your practices! Thank you so much for writing it. I think i might pick up a few more copies for my shop so my customers can read it and be more informed!

Associated Press
DENVER — A Craig, Colo., couple accused of stealing from a murder-suicide scene in Grand County before authorities got there are defending their actions.
Jerod Reeves and Kimberly McCaffery are accused of stealing credit cards, a gun and other items from the van where the bodies of William Ahrold and his 9-year-old-son, Jackson, were found last month. Ahrold's fingers were sawed off to get the gun.
McCaffery told KUSA-TV in Denver on Monday that the two were homeless and didn't have any money. Reeves said he did what he had to do to survive.
The two eventually were arrested in Washington state. They are charged with tampering with physical evidence, criminal trespass and abuse of a corpse. They're being held on $150,000 bond.

Well I'm not new, but I'm back to AG for now. I've been ghosting the forums and users accounts for a few weeks as a prelude before coming back from a few month sabbatical without really saying any comments, only the odd game rating and game comment. Not saying I'm going to be posting much (maybe two or three times a day, maybe less, maybe more), just saying I am here, so if you feel an unnatural vibe that you're being watched, that would be me staring at you from the shadows.
So in summary hello everyone, I'm back.
Welcome back, PanzerTank!
I didn't know you could open up a new topic just to say hi. THAT'S AWESOME!!!
Who are you? It must be my newness, but welcome back anyways!

This review is from: Link Depot HHS-6 6 ft. Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable
It functions for all purposes that a XBOX 360 needs.
This HDMI cable is specification 1.3, not 1.4
This means there is no audio return channel. Do not buy this if you want bidirectional audio transfer between a TV's HDMI port and your A/V Receiver's HDMI port. For a cable broadcast, you will not be able to hear the audio through your sound system (connected to your A/V Receiver).
