Historical Traveler Reviews Lux 11 Berlin
Your temporary house in Berlin
Great Place, great location! Do not expect to get 5 stars service at the reception. People at the reception definately have to learn how to smile. But after all, it is more appartment hotel than hotel so who needs extra attention from the reception. If this does not bother you then it is great place to stay: great decorated rooms, great shower, nice kitchen unit ( no need to rush for breakfast since you can make one yourself). Hotel located in the district Mitte which is full of nice restaurants, little cafes and great place to shop! Definately my place for the next visit to Berlin!
Schlechter Service - kalte Atmosphäre
Dieses Hotel ist eins dieser hippen Designhotels wie man Sie in Berlin oft findet. Das kann gut oder auch schlecht sein.
In meinem Fall war es ziemlich schlecht. Ich plante, hier f�r drei N�chte zu bleiben, aber ich checkte schon nach zwei N�chten aus. Das Hotel ist sehr laut. Ich hatte ein Zimmer direkt an einer belebten Stra�e.
Ich bin es gew�hnt, mit ge�ffnetem Fenster zu schlafen, aber es war zu laut. Konnte zwei N�chte lang nicht schlafen.
Eine weitere Sache, die Sie im Hinterkopf behalten sollten, bevor Sie dort �bernachten. Es ist ein Designhotel, mit Designzimmern. Es gab kein separates Badezimmer. Die Badewanne war direkt neben meinem Bett, nur durch eine Wand getrennt. Die Wanne war aus Stein oder so gemacht, ganz und gar nicht bequem. Die Toilette war beim Eingang. Ziemlich merkw�rdig. Es ist praktisch ein gro�er Raum, der durch einen Fernsehapparat aufgeteilt ist.
Ich f�hlte mich �berhaupt nicht wohl. Ich reise viel, aber ich sch�tze, dass ich nicht der hippe Design Kunde bin. Die Rezeption muss noch lernen, wie man l�chelt, hip mag zwar cool sein aber ein L�cheln w�rde die ganze Erfahrung freundlicher machen. Das Hotel wollte mir die Kosten die dritte Nacht erstatten, weil ich im Voraus bezahlt hatte. Aber ich habe bis heute kein Geld gesehen und auch nichts vom Hotel geh�rt. SCHLECHTER SERVICE!!!! VORSICHT.
My new favourite in Berlin
The Lux-eleven just made top of my list of favorite hotels in Berlin, bumping The Q! to second place.
While the two places are quite similar in that they are both newly build in an old style it feels to me as if The Q! is a bit burdened with it's own glorious paste while The Lux is more playful and not full of itself.
The service is excellent in both places, but again it's more freely given at The Lux, more personel and more private.
I stayed for four nights in a Junior Suite, payed 145 EUR a night. There was no Club-Level available with spercial privileges.
I spend time in the inhouse wellness area two times (add. Cost for using treatments) and I tried the gourmet Shiro restaurant.
It seemed to me that extra staff were on duty that day - a famous VIP was arriving
One evening I started with a drink in the lovely very stylish Asian lounge bar and continued on to a perfect dinner at the restaurant, where I was introduced to the chef at the end of a spectacular meal with a new wine for every course.
It's not often that you find a place like this in a hotel - there was nothing bland or assembly line over the meal.
Well, to sum it up: Lux is my new home away from home in Berlin, perfect rooms, excellent value for money, helpful and friendly staff and very proffesional managed!
Mixed feelings about Lux 11
I have mixed feelings about this place. In the main, I enjoyed my stay at Lux 11, however I do not think I would return, at least not when the weather was warm.
I booked a Premier Suite though the Design Hotels website. I was aware that it was an apartment hotel rather than a "real" hotel as I had found out more details about the place on the hotels' own website as well as reading mini reviews of the place in Conde Nast Traveller and the New York Times. For instance, if you pay an extra 20 Euros per day, you get the apartment cleaned every day with fresh towels and bed linen instead of every 3 days.
Very spacious and stylish rooms, great bath and shower. CD/DVD players and TVs in both the bedroom and living room. The Premier Suites run from the back to the front of the hotel with the living room/kitchenette at the back overlooking a court yard and the bedroom/bathroom at the front overlooking the street. If only it was the other way round!!!
There is no air-conditioning and even in May the weather was quite warm so it was necessary to have the large french door/window open at night to get some fresh air. The problem for us is that for two days out of a four day stay, workmen outside in the street were working - very noisily - from 7am in the morning until 9pm at night. In addition to this, you can hear the deep rumblings of the trains on the S-Bahn which runs only two blocks away. Plus there is typical street noise, cars driving past, and being parked etc. Obviously nothing could be done about the workmen outside (although I did seriously consider giving them 50 Euros each to disappear for a few hours so we could get some sleep) but if the rooms had air-conditioning you could keep the french door/window closed and stay cool.
No room service but the breakfasts in the attached Shiro I Shiro restaurant were truly excellent. Didn't eat dinner there because there are so many other excellent restaurants in that area, for example Pan Asia which is just 5 minutes walk away.
I Love This Place
The only comment I can give: GO THERE, FEEL IT, UPGRADE YOUR LIFE, DREAM THERE!!! However: I LOVE THIS HOTEL.
I'm traveling a lot and I'm interested in reading comments and feelings from other costumers. so i did in this case. I read the comments of the Sylt costumer and the Antwerp costumer. My result is extremly simple: ANTWERP: Full Points.
I was not aware that Sylt is exiting in 2006. Wasn't Sylt hip in the 80's ??? So maybe if you love the past, choose another place!!! But if you are looking cor a IBIZA or CARTAGENA feeling, be sure the LUX will fit in all points, need and give you the perfect access of that feeling.
Staff is exeptionally helpful, extremly friendly and look like models.
I will return - what ever will happen. And by the way: The famous CONDE NAST
TRAVELER MAG voted and rated the LUX 11 as one of the world's best new hotels on their yearly HOT LIST. (present MAY Issue)
Bad service - cold athmosphere
this hotel is one of the hip designer hotels they have here in Berlin. Could be good - could be bad.
In my case it was rather bad. I was planning to stay for three nights, but i checked out after two nights. The hotel is very noisy. I had a room right at the busy street.
I am used to sleep with an open window, but it was too loud. Couldn't sleep for two nights.
An other thing you should keep in mind before you stay there. It is a designer hotel, with designer rooms. There was no such thing as a seperate bathroom. The bathtub was right next to my bed, only seperated by a wall. the tub was made of stone or so, not comfy at all. the toilette is next to the entrance. Quite strange. It is basicly one big room devided by a TV wall in the middle.
I did not feel comfortable at all. I travel a lot, but i guess i am not the hip - designer type customer.
The frontdesk needs to learn how to smile, because hip is cool, but if you smile a bit this makes the whole experince more friendly.
They wanted to compensate, bcause i paid for the third night in advance. But i never received any money back or even heard from them.
Absolutely magnificent !
We just returned from a 5 day trip to Berlin. I've visited a lot of cities and stayed in many hotels, but this one tops them all ! At some point it even became difficult to leave the room for sightseeing, as it was so great.
The hotel is located in the popular Mitte district. Alexanderplatz is in walking distance, as is the shopping area of Oranienburgerstrasse and Sch�nhauserstrasse (5 minutes). As for us, the best places to shop if you're looking for typical Berlin boutiques. The other upcoming area of Prenzlauer Berg is only 2 U-bahn stops away.
It offers 4 types of suites, going from value to executive. We stayed in a value suite (cheapest, going for 115 euros a night) overlooking a small courtyard. The room is good size, with fully equiped kitchen (microwave, dishwasher, fridge, toaster, coffee and tea facilities, cooking material, etc). There's a flat screen with dvd player, no dvd's at reception though, so bring your own. There's no seperate bathroom, it is in the room, but it doesn't bother at all - only toilet is seperate. There's a huge, huge shower, that can fit 4 people. Best part of the room must be the bed, as it is very different from every hotelbed I've ever slept in. Good size (king bed) and soft, big pillows.
Breakfast is not included in the price, but it is available as roomservice. We didn't try it, but prices range from 8 to 12 euros. There are many breakfast/lunch places just around the corner and also a great soupbar that offers a whide variety for very reasonable prices.
There's also an Aveda Spa in the same building as the hotel, but it is quite expensive (60 euros for a 30 minute massage) and no discount offered for hotel guests.
We didn't try the hotel restaurant, as it is mainly Asian food (sushi etc), but judging that the restaurant was full every day, mostly by locals, it cannot be all that bad. Down the street I can recommend a great lounge bar called 'Lola's Bar, who have great food and over 200 different cocktails. The place is not visible from outside (only recognisable by the "L" sign on the door) as it is nin a basement. A good place to chill, good vibes and hardly any tourists. Weekend it turns into a great club.
For those who come to Berlin by car, the hotel has an underground carpark- but only has 10 parking places, rate is 15 euros a day.
Overall we had the best holiday; great location, great hotel and great service. As far as Berlin goes, it tops every European city I've been to !
Stylish and cool place to be...
we have been first times in the hotel for a few days in december for x-mas shopping and for a business trip one week later. in overall rating this is for sure our place to be in the capital. we like that style very well, e.g. the open bathrooms, wooden floors, the goregeous rainshower and so many small things like those personalised flip-flops (never seen before!!!) the brand new opened restaurant is very hip and offers a great range of all. the spa is not open yet, however, there's a very familiarized AVEDA shop directly in the hotel.
the hotel staff is very, very friendly and helpful, knows all about the city and we have been very pround to get really the best tips for the hottest spots to go, like insiders! we recommend this place to everybody and we will be back soonish!
Teething Problems
I stayed at Lux 11 in Aug 2005 just as the hotel has opened. We booked an excellent offer with Amex, 3 nights for the price of 2 & we got one of the biggest suites for the price of a regular room. The suite was very well designed & stylish - one of TV was not working, which was no big deal. Some of the trimming seemed to have been rushed in time for the opening - but I put this down to teething problem. The shower was great it forms part of the bedroom. The kitchen area was well thought & had lots with coffee & tea. The service was a bit hit & miss (which I find with design hotels) - I am not used to having to wait around. The fitness area was not open when we stayed, which was a bit disappointing.
The hotel is in a great location close to the sights, shops and restaurants.
I would return ... when Amex run a similar great offer.
Mixed feelings about Lux 11
My husband and I stayed at Lux 11 this September. We booked one of the biggest suites, which was very stylish but also had a "hospital-like" vibe. All of the rooms in the suite were quite stark and bare. An interesting thing is that the bathroom is open to the bedroom, so a family wanting to book a suite should be concerned about privacy. The rooms were nicely stacked with coffee, tea and plenty of bathroom amenities. As for the service, I also have mixed feelings. When we first got to the hotel, we spent about 10 minutes at the front desk, being utterly ignored by the receptionist. Later on during our stay, our experienced was much better, as the staff changed. I will say that the hotel is in a great location; very close to shops and restaurants.
To sum things up, I think that on our next trip to Berlin, we will look for a different hotel.

Haj death toll rises to 769, Iran denounces "crime"
As opposed to radical Islam as I may be, and as offensive as I find many Islamic dogmas to be, I would never lie to try to either discredit Islam or attack Muslims or people who do not hate Muslims. But Pamela Geller, a right-wing extremist who would have been at home in the John Bitch [pun intended] Society of the 1950s (when it accused President Eisenhower of being under Communist influence), would lie and in the worst way.
Continue reading
……neither should Pakistan. BOTH states were founded after World War II by followers of a specific religion who wanted to establish a society in which that religion would dominate it. Pakistan excluded Hindus and remains a hotbed of Muslim extremism to this day (which is why it was stupid for President Bush Jr. to accept Pakistan as an ally in his "War on Terrorism", when in fact Osama Bin Ladin was hiding out in Pakistan for years until President Obama finally had him killed). And Israel continues to violate the rights of Palestinians by building and keeping Jewish settlements on the West Bank, thus stealing land the United Nations said was not theirs in 1947. Yet the United States also continues to support Israel, no matter what. Why is Jewish extremism more acceptable than Muslim extremism? Either accept both and the states made from them or condemn both and the states made from them. Not only one or the other, unless you are a religious bigot.
This understanding came to me after reading this:
While other countries are "Muslim" or "Islamic" because they just so happen to have a large Muslim population, Pakistan was founded by Muslims as a Muslim country in rather deliberate fashion.
Likewise, Israel was founded by Jews as a Jewish country in rather deliberate fashion. If one is illegitimate, so is the other. Can you discuss this too?
That isn't at all part of my focus or within my scope as a blogger. There are plenty of critics of Israel and Zionism who can speak to such matters better than I can.
I understand. My actual point is that I know of no anti-Zionists that also attack Pakistan for its existence as a Muslim state founded to separate its people from mostly Hindu India. Proving that they are more biased towards Islam and against Jews than any just person should be.
As an non-theist, I'm one of those "a plague on both your houses" people that gets it from both sides.
Take a look at this video:
There are several issues here that the video does not address.
First, Islamic immigrants who come to a Western nation tend to be more moderate in their views even upon arrival, and their children and grandchildren may become even more liberal in turn. The only reason why some Muslims may become radicalized later is because they are treated as second-class citizens in a country they were born in because they are Muslim.
Second, immigrants are allowed into a European country because its native population is falling or not growing fast enough already, and such a situation results in workers becoming more valued for their labor, thus labor movements become stronger and workers' wages will increase, making it harder for business owners to get extremely rich. To counter this, corporations that dominate an industry will seek to increase the workers' population through encouraging immigration. But doing this means introducing new people with different cultures. And this is a problem? Only for bigots.
Third, European nations seemed to have no problem invading and taking over Islamic parts of the world in the past. In particular, France not only conquered areas like Algeria and Tunisia, it legally made Algeria a part of France, not just a colony, and the Algerians had to fight long and hard to throw off French rule.
Note that immigration of Latinos to the United States is also mentioned in the video. Bigotry against Hispanic culture also fuels immigration restrictions in the USA. Also, the USA conquered and still holds land once controlled by Mexico.
You cannot take in millions of people to lower workers' value, then turn around and scream about those workers being different from you. That sort of crock needs to be put down.
If you expel the Muslims from Europe, then the workers remaining will demand greater wages because there are fewer of them. Are you prepared to pay them more?
If you keep the Muslims in Europe, then treat them as equals, and accept that your demographics will change.
Also, people raised in Muslim families do not necessarily stay Muslim forever. There are plenty of former Muslims:
Need I also mention that the idea that a culture will die out because its population growth drops and reverses itself is bull$#it? You can have a culture evolving and prospering no matter what the size of the families that make it up. You just pass on that culture to the fewer children you have, period.
For the sake of argument, I define "orthodox" in Islam as including the beliefs common to both the Sunni and Shi'a Muslims, though the Sunnis themselves say only they are orthodox (much like orthodox Christians may be defined as including much more than the denominations called "Orthodox", including Catholics and most Protestants).
There are several issues in Islam I find contradictory and thus I would never become a Muslim, even if I were to ever believe in a god again.
Religions as tools for social cohesion are indeed valid reasons for having them, since people are by nature social beings. However, using any religion that has demonstratively false dogmas as that tool is by nature unethical because you are encouraging people to lie to others about reality. It is even worse when you have a government take that religion and use force to make everyone follow it. All this does is make many people into hypocrites who act a certain way in public while privately doubting or denying the religion. This results in greater corruption. It is no coincidence that the ones who often come across as the most moral and are also deeply religious also turn out to be the most hypocritical. I think the reason for this is because their moral values are simply not based on anything real and things that are not based on reality are themselves not real. If you need to believe in the Bible, the Quran, or some other scripture to believe in God, to be moral or function in a social order, then you are actually a dangerous person because you will resort to all sorts of dishonest arguments, claims and assertions to keep your faith. Likewise, getting a government to enforce your religion on everyone merely makes the government dishonest. We shouldn't tolerate this any more than we should tolerate mob bosses taking over a government.
Thus, Islamic states like those of Saudi Arabia and Iran are contemptible and should be condemned and opposed at every turn, and the concept of Sharia (Islamic law) should be completely thrown out in all societies. They are simply phony by nature!
Christianity is the most popular religion in the world, with about 2 billion followers all over the world. Islam is the second most popular religion, with over a billion followers. Part of the reason Christianity is larger is because it is older, since it is about 2000 years old, as compared with Islam being only 1400 years old.
Another reason Christianity is more popular is because of its association with imperialism. First, it took over the Roman Empire. After the Roman Empire fell in 476 AD, the religion continued as the dominant ideology of the Byzantine Empire, which was a direct offshoot of the Roman one. Later, the Arabs built a vast empire using Islam as their unifying force, challenging the Byzantines. Finally, the Turks, another Islamic power, destroyed the Byzantine Empire.
Then the European powers spread their empires all over the world, taking Christianity with them. Islam remained relatively weak until two things happened to make it more powerful: European imperialism fell apart and oil was discovered in most parts of the Middle East. Suddenly, the Arabs became extremely rich due to their oil revenues, and with that wealth came the ability to spread Islam around the world. But in Europe, Christianity declined as the people became increasingly secular. The tragic events of World War II probably did more to destroy Europeans' faith than anything else. Today, the USA is the most powerful Christian dominated nation in the world, but it is still secular in its government. And even here, religious influence is slowly declining.
I suspect that within another generation, Islam will surpass Christianity as the most popular world religion, but its power cannot last long, because oil is a nonrenewable resource. And when that oil runs out, the economies of the Middle Eastern states that depend on oil will break down, and so will Islam.
What can freethinkers, atheists, and secular humanists do to overcome this situation? They must do everything possible to end the dependence on oil, and indeed all other fossil fuels, and establish societies based on renewable and sustainable sources of energy such as wind, water, the sun and geothermal sources. Once at least some parts of the world are free from needing resources that are doomed to run out, we will have even less need for religions like Christianity and Islam.

/// Broadcast's Graveyard Shift
April 2, 2012 | Media Week
From 1981 to 2009, NBC aired just three series in the Thursday 10 p.m. time slot: Hill Street Blues , L.A. Law and ER . Celebrated by critics and viewers alike, these were canonical dramas, series that represented network TV at its very best. Since ER flatlined in April 2009, NBC's showcase has become a junk shop; in the last seven months alone, the network has run three dramas in the hour, a string of flops that averaged a 1.2 rating in the adults 18-to-49 demo.

An artful retreat just outside the village of Ojai.
To call this place simply a bed-and-breakfast would be a lie. This boutique inn is a hip hang-out with Southwestern flair. Yet it never takes itself too seriously, as evidenced by the signature blue iguana mascot. Flowering trellises and fountains welcome guests upon arrival. Navajo-patterned rugs and fresh flowers adorn the apartment-style suites, which all have kitchens, working fireplaces and one or two bedrooms. Each has more than enough space for families or groups of friends attending weddings and other special events in Ojai. Convenient amenities such as wireless Internet access, free local calls and coffee makers are also included in the rates. Ideal for honeymooners, the two-bedroom bungalow is a detached private house with a full kitchen. All of the low-slung buildings exhibit California Mission-style architecture with terra-cotta roofs, arches and wood-beam railings, in addition to faux-Mediterranean tiles handcrafted by local artists. Leashed dogs are welcome for a surcharge. Cordial and responsive, the staff are sometimes overwhelmed by large groups.
Best Price Guaranteed

What to Do When You Lose Your House Keys
Arriving home only to find that you have mislaid your keys and cannot get into your house is something you hope will never happen but many people go through this experience at least once in their lifetime, sometimes several times over. If you would like to know what to do in the event that you lose your house keys and cannot gain entry to your home, follow the advice below and your problems should be short lived.
Gaining Entry and Securing Your Property
The two main goals you will need to achieve should you happen to mislay your keys are to gain entry to your home and to make sure that it is secure in the future. You can achieve both these goals by following the tips below.
- Stay Calm – It may sound like an obvious piece of advice but it is essential to remain calm when you are locked out of your house. You may be tempted to smash a window or to force a door in order to gain entry but such actions will only end up costing you more money and making your home vulnerable to opportunist burglars. If you start to panic, call your partner, friend, or family member to let them know what has happened.
- Call the Professionals – The quickest, safest, and most cost effective way to gain entry to your home will be to ask for assistance from local professionals. You can easily find a fully qualified and reputable locksmith in Amsterdam or any other major city so there is no reason to attempt to force entry yourself. A professional will be able to help you gain entry without causing any unnecessary damage to your property.
- Request New Locks and Keys – Once you are safely in your home, it is time to think about securing it so that it is not vulnerable to local criminals in the future. Unless you know exactly where you lost your keys and you are able to recover them without delay, you should ask the locksmith who helped you to gain entry to install new locks and supply you with new keys, for each one that you lost.
- Distribute Keys Among Your Family – If you live alone, you can safely skip this point but if you live with your partner and/or children, you need to make sure that everybody has new keys for the new locks that have been installed so that they can enter the house without any difficulty.
Once you have completed all of the above steps, you should be able to relax, safe in the knowledge that your home is once again secure and that every member of your family can gain entry whenever they wish. However, you may like to take this opportunity to ask your locksmith for anti-burglary advice before he or she leaves. They may be able to spot weaknesses in your home security and suggest solutions that will make it an unattractive proposition for potential intruders in the future.

There is a lesson to be learned in the failure of Jimmy Johnson at Miami. It's likely that Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga has received the message.
But you have to wonder if Jerry Jones has made the connection.
Huizenga learned the hard way, the expensive way, that hiring an acknowledged great coach isn't always the answer. A coach who has had his brush with greatness for one franchise can look quite ordinary in another setting.
Johnson's four years in Miami produced two playoff wins. He never got close to an AFC championship game, much less a Super Bowl.
Don Shula's final four years immediately preceding Johnson produced two playoff wins and one AFC title game appearance.
What Jones should take in from this is the realization that even if he makes the best hire possible, whoever that may be, it's no guarantee of success. Johnson couldn't duplicate his Dallas magic in Miami because he never upgraded the offense around Dan Marino.
There are no assurances that the next Dallas coach, no matter what his genius level when it comes to play-calling, will be able to lift the talent that surrounds Troy Aikman and make this a viable offense once more.
The head coach is only part of the equation. And, unfortunately for Cowboys fans, the head coach in Dallas comes in at a distinct disadvantage.
Jones, it seems, has convinced himself to believe his own rhetoric, that the Cowboys won three Super Bowls in the '90s with the current organizational structure.
Does anyone else believe that?
Was Jones the authority figure, the man making the roster cuts and the off-season deals, when the Cowboys were being built in the early '90s? The fact that he signed off on Johnson's moves allows Jones to argue in a technical sense that he was in charge.
But the power was held by Johnson, who once made a trade with Cleveland the day before the 1992 draft without Jones' approval. When Johnson informed Jones of the deal, in front of others, the owner was livid. Johnson later had to suffer the owner's wrath.
The trade itself was fine, but Johnson had risked making Jones look uninformed, and that was unacceptable.
You can buy into the myth of Jimmy's genius as deeply as you wish, but the reality is that the personnel decisions that rebuilt the Cowboys in the early '90s were made by Johnson, by Bob Ackles and, earlier, by John Wooten.
Don't forget to give Gil Brandt credit for the pre-Jimmy drafts and signings of Michael Irvin, Ken Norton, Mark Tuinei, Nate Newton, Jim Jeffcoat, Bill Bates and others.
All that has changed. All those decision-makers are gone. Jones truly is in charge now.
The next coach won't be regarded by the players as much more than a play-caller. Jones' respect for the last head coach was such that Chan Gailey learned of Leon Lett's positive drug test from reporters, not from Jones.
The next head coach won't even be allowed to hire the bulk of his coaching staff, and that's a coach-killing trend Jones refuses to recognize.
Consider that if Jones brings in an outsider as head coach, assistants such as Dave Campo, Joe Avezzano, Hudson Houck and Steve Hoffman will be working for their fourth head coach in Dallas.
Where else do head coaches come and go but the assistants stay? Where is Jones' model for success here?
Head coaches everywhere tell us their success is based on the hard work of loyal assistants. But assistants in Dallas are loyal only to Jones, and it's no fault of their own. Such are the bizarre dynamics Jones has built into his operation.
Johnson's failure in Miami was due in part to the fact that his cadre of assistants that followed him from Oklahoma State to the University of Miami to Dallas was broken up.
His failure also had something to do with inheriting an aging roster led by a veteran Hall of Fame-bound quarterback who had a special relationship with the owner that usurped the power of the head coach.
Sound familiar?
The Cowboys in 2000 look more than a little like the Dolphins of four years ago. They share the unfortunate common bond of failed drafts over a number of years.
A great coach like Johnson couldn't do much more than patch holes and maintain the status quo in Miami.
The chances of Jones finding another Johnson willing to take on the Cowboys' burden are slim. But it's the Cowboys' organizational structure that should be held accountable for the next failure here - not the scapegoat-in-residence that will go by the title of head coach.

One year ago today, New York City F.C. was born.
The joint Manchester City/New York Yankees venture united two of the most powerful sporting entities in the world under the MLS umbrella.
At the time, it was a shocking move. Those following the developments of a second New York franchise had eyes affixed to a league venture aimed at securing a parcel of land within Flushing Meadow Park to attract potential owners to the endeavor.
In a blink of an eye, that all changed. In its stead came a powerful ownership group that forced MLS to rethink it's posture. Flush with money, City brought the infrastructure and bankroll to make anything possible. The Yankees, meanwhile, offered an invaluable and respected local sporting partner that could potentially crack the long-sought-after New York City media market.
For MLS, the union was everything they hoped to have for this aspiring venture.
While most expected a big splash from the club in year one, NYC FC has instead featured a slow and steady approach to growth.
Here are some of the highlights from their first year of operations:

Thorpe, making his first career game-one series start, allowed just one hit out of the infield. California's first hit came on a bunt in the first inning and the third hit was a high chopper to third base in the seventh inning.
The Ducks' lefthander struck out seven in 7.1 innings, while allowing two runs (one earned). Jimmie Sherfy pitched a perfect ninth inning to pick up his 10th save.
J.J. Altobelli and Brett Thomas led the Ducks' offense with two hits apiece. Altobelli was 2-for-3 with a RBI and a run scored. Thomas was 2-for-3 with a run scored.
The Ducks took the early lead with a run in the top of the first inning. Mitchell Tolman singled to right center field driving in Thomas for a 1-0 lead. Oregon tried to add a run but Tolman was thrown out trying to score on a double by Scott Heineman to end the inning.
Cal tied the game with an unearned run in the bottom of the first. Devin Pearson, who was on third after a wild pickoff attempt by Thorpe, scored the run on a Devon Rodriguez ground out.
Oregon took the lead in the top of the fifth with a pair of runs. Altobelli drove in Josh Graham with a base hit to right field to put the Ducks up 2-1. Altobelli made it 3-1 scoring on a sacrifice fly by Aaron Payne.
The Bears cut the lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth when Mike Reuvekamp scored on a wild pitch by Thorpe (10-3).
Game two between Oregon and Cal is at 6 p.m. Saturday night.

Best place to rest and relax!
I surprised my husband w/ an overnite to celebrate his 40th bday. We live here, so we enjoy staying at different hotels and playing tourist! We have visited the Plaza frequently, but never overnight. We were not disappointed. Easy to get to, nice staff, beautiful hotel. It reminded us of Jamaica especially the pool and courtyard where we spent a good deal of the day. The room was nice and comfortable- nice robes. We ordered breakfast from room service and ate outside overlooking the courtyard. The staff was attentive and responded quickly to any request. They even brought in a nice cheese tray for my husband! After strolling down the riverwalk- which is only steps away- we needed the late night snack. The pool has cabanas and nice padded lounge chairs. They also have a nice bar right next to pool. the fountains and all the lush vegetation make you feel you are in the tropics, not downtown SA! We loved it and it is our favorite place to stay downtown. We will definitely be back soon. It is a great place for getaway- we felt so relaxed after our stay... Great rates as well.
Very Pleased
The hotel is absolutely beautiful! We were not sure what we would end up with when we took our weekend trip on a whim, but Plaza San Antonio & it's staff delivered beyond our expectations. My only regret is not upgrading to the courtyard view - the pool, fountains, & greenery are so peaceful. The location is a short walk to Riverwalk, Alamo & Hemisfair Park. Our only "complaint" was the changing temperature/pressure as we showered, which was mild. I would recommend this hotel to my family & friends. A great value for the money.
Shhh...this is OUR secret.
This is an older high rise hotel that has aged very very well. It is a short walk to the Hilton, which starts one end of the Riverwalk tours (about a block away). It is direcly across from the old World's Fair site, which makes for a beautiful park view, and also cuts down on the craziness of traffic. Check out some of the discounters though and you can get a better rate usually than what the hotel offers. Even if you have to pay full freight it is worth it. This would be a very good place to stay with kids, because it is not in a very crazy section of town (but you can easily walk to it) and it has a very nice pool. Be sure to try the buffet breakfast in the a.m. It is a little pricey but well worth the $11.00 or so. I would be back. Nice, comfy rooms. Wonderful down pillows, sheets, etc. MUCH MORE than I expected for this price!! Recommend without reservation.
Wonderful Stay
The courtyard is beautiful, great pool area & exercise room. Midnight check in was very speedy and staff was always courteous and helpful. My room was excellent. Location was as I had requested in reservation.
Robes, turn down service, & overnight shoe shine service were great touches. Breakfast buffet was nothing special, but it was convenient & staff was attentive. Limo service to downtown in the morning on a weekday was very nice. I would stay here again.
Great Courtyard!!!
My husband and I spent our 11th Wedding Aniversary at Plaza San Antonio. The staff is great, and they have a wonderful and peaceful courtyard with exotic birds. I would defenitly stay there again.
Mariotte Buffet Food Poisoning
The hotel was ok, but I got food poisoning from the restaurant buffet.
I bit into an orange slice and it was rancid. The waffles were hard as a rock, so I suspect some of the food has been sitting out for a few days.
Decent Enough
We were disappointed with the musty odor in the common areas and to a lesser extent the room. The hotel is showing its age and is overdue for some attention. We warmed up to it in the next day as the grounds are attractive and the location, while not on Riverwalk, arent far from it. Would probably look for an alternative on any return visit to San Antonio.
I spent a week at the Plaza Marriott San Antonio, and found the service excellent. When a problem arose during my stay, the manager was very accommodating and did everything possible to correct the problem. The staff were very attentive and helpful. Although the hotel is within walking distance to the Riverwalk and Convention Center, I would not suggest walking to these sites alone.
The Marriott Plaza was PERFECT!
My friends and I recently stayed at the Marriott Plaza in San Antonio for a "girl's weekend away". We found it to be of highest quality in service, location convenience, and atmosphere. The courtyard and grounds of the hotel were magnificant with the beautiful fountains, the pool, the greenery, the flowers, and the gorgeous peacocks and pheasants that roamed freely around the courtyard. We had fantastic service from the valets, the bellmen, the concierge, desk clerks, maids and the massage therapists. Everyone was very cordial and extremely helpful. The hotel was conveniently located within walking distance of the Riverwalk and historical sites.I give a 5 Star rating and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in San Antonio! Deedee Morehead, Sherman,Texas
San Antonio atmosphere
The rooms are nothing special here (sort of Marriott anywhere decor), but the grounds are spectacular with strolling peacocks and a lushly landscaped courtyard pool that captures that romantic San Antonio atmosphere. Have a mango margarita delivered to you while lolling in the whirlpool, or laze on a porch swing on one of the historic buildings located on the property. The location is excellent, within a few blocks of the Riverwalk, yet you are far enough away to avoid the noise and bustle when you wish. Despite the peacocks, your pet is welcome here, too.

Our only activity today was an attempt to get the suitcases fuller before we head home in three weeks. We went to many stores over 6 hours and didn't get much at all, despite trying on lots of clothes. The day was pretty warm but it got overcast so the day was comfortable despite being in the late 80s. For lunch we had Taco Bell and for dinner we had ...

Outside we saw some cool animals including fennec fox, white lion, macaw, prairie dog and hyenas. Some of the cages seemed inappropriate for the animals, in that they were pretty basic and concrete. For dinner we went to Wendy's and had some ...

We finished up our 6-State trip today. It was a good time, we visited with lots of good, friendly people, learned a few things and spent a few bucks, but it was time to get home. The plan was to stop at Camping World in New Braunfels to make the appointment to have the correct size and color awning installed. We also had a couple of things to return and the defunked GPS taken care of. As it turned out the first two items were easily done. We have to take the MH in on Thursday ...

In all fairness all those people usually imply/talk about is the fact that they think people shouldn't play LoL at all, and that it's a terrible game, dota is better etc
I'm yet to see someone specifically say or even imply that it's 'ok' or a good idea to play league as long as you don't play Dota aswell.
(Of course people are free to play what they will).

For everyone on this board whose jimmies become rustled at the mere implication that playing LoL is anything but a travesty against the gaming community, there are an equal number of people who would claim that playing Dota is catering to the elitist mentality that makes us a laughing stock rather than a true and meaningful cultural force.
Neither party has a clue what they are talking about, so you can just ignore them.
You can definitely have fun playing both games. There is nothing that would stop you from doing so besides personal preference. both games have their flaws, both games have their strengths, and both games are perfectly enjoyable.

I do. It's alright but Dota2 is much better.
I am not economically viable.
As said, vocal minority.
Both sides will foam at the mouth if Dota or League is mentioned on their respective boards. Though I tend to see more blind League players bash Dota 2 than the other way around.
Regardless I play both, even League more often due to friends but I love Dota and Dota 2 far much more than League and consider them the better games overall.

There's nothing that says you can't if you really want to.
I personally just can't stand playing League any more because it isn't any fun. It has nothing to offer me in terms of challenge. Additionally, I refuse to play solo queue, but when playing with friends, most of them only know maybe 2 positions that they can play with any proficiency, so I never get to play what I want without putting our team at a disadvantage. So, I prefer to stick with the more flexible playstyle available in Dota simply because it's more fun than having to default to something as tedious as the AD carry each game.
tl;dr - League isn't fun for me anymore, so I don't play it alongside Dota. That's just my take on it.

Damn I haven't seen you in ages. What's up with the serious post?!
But I agree for the most part. I played both for a long time but I only play Dota now because I'm bored of LoL for now.

Journalist, presenter, broadcaster, husband, father, vigorous all-rounder – Alan Partridge – a man with a fascinating past and an amazing future. Gregarious and popular, yet Alan's never happier than when relaxing in his own five-bedroom, south-built house with three acres of land and access to a private stream. But who is this mysterious enigma?
Alan Gordon Partridge is the best – and best-loved – radio presenter in the region. Born into a changing world of rationing, Teddy Boys, apes in space and the launch of ITV, Alan's broadcasting career began as chief DJ of Radio Smile at St. Luke's Hospital in Norwich. After replacing Peter Flint as the presenter of Scout About, he entered the top 8 of BBC sports presenters.But Alan's big break came with his primetime BBC chat show Knowing Me, Knowing You. Sadly, the show battled against poor scheduling, having been put up against News at Ten, then in its heyday. Due to declining ratings, a single catastrophic hitch (the killing of a guest on air) and the dumbing down of network TV, Alan's show was cancelled. Not to be dissuaded, he embraced this opportunity to wind up his production company, leave London and fulfil a lifelong ambition to return to his roots in local radio.
Now single, Alan is an intensely private man but he opens up, for the second time, in this candid, entertaining, often deeply emotional – and of course compelling – memoir, written entirely in his own words. (Alan quickly dispelled the idea of using a ghost writer. With a grade B English Language O-Level, he knew he was up to the task.)
He speaks touchingly about his tragic Toblerone addiction, and the painful moment when unsold copies of his first autobiography, Bouncing Back, were pulped like 'word porridge'. He reveals all about his relationship with his ex-Ukrainian girlfriend, Sonja, with whom he had sex at least twice a day, and the truth about the thick people who make key decisions at the BBC.
A literary tour de force, I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan charts the incredible journey of one of our greatest broadcasters.
©2011 Alan Partridge (P)2011 HarperCollins
"Legendary." (The Guardian)
"Some of the UK's finest comedy." (The Telegraph)
"Coogan's greatest creation." (Daily Mail)
"I'm a massive Alan Partridge fan, and this is without a doubt the funniest book I've ever read. You'll be laughing at something on every single page. Its worth downloading the audiobook, though, so you can listen to Alan reading it to you." (Greg James, Heat Magazine)
Wodehouse. Wells, Waugh, and Wilde. And that's just the letter W. Fiction or autobiography or essay, I just enjoy writing.
"Very well performed and written"
This book was an exceptionally consistent fake autobiography. Alan is conceited, idiotic, selfish and blind to anything that he doesn't want to except. Coogan did an excellent job capturing this.
"Return of the Partridge"
As a fan of the various Alan Partridge series on the BBC, I was excited to hear Coogan and Co. were writing an Alan Partridge book, and when I found out Coogan would be narrating the audiobook as Alan Partridge, I knew that would definitely be the version to get. The reading does not disappoint. Alan's deadpan buffoonish style is just as funny as ever, and I found myself laughing out loud in the car many times while listening. The writing style is fun and fresh, actively calling attention to the book-writing process, as Alan tries to meet his publisher's minimum word count. My only complaint is that book covers a lot of material from the KMKY and I'm Alan Partridge, so some of the jokes/situations are recycled. Even still the writing makes them fresh. If you haven't seen all those series as many times as I have, obviously that's not a problem. Even if you have, if you're a fan of the Partridge, it's definitely worth a listen, but you probably knew that already.
"The performance makes the book"
This would not be worth reading as a book, really - the performance makes the middling material worth your time. If you like any of the other Alan Partridge entertainments, you will like this audiobook.
"Finali a kindred spirit!"
Yes, It is verry insightful. Alan is a delightful broadcaster and has a story worth telling
The personal stile and his abilaty to shift from past to present tence
he has the x factor.
I myself am also in broadcasting And it would be wonderful to have Alan on my show.thank you, Ivo Niehe, Amsterdam
"Listening from the start again"
Some classic quotes and images, in one hand she had a cup of tea in the other she didn't.
Makes me feel a film or another series is on the way as it it so well constructed and brilliantly executed. I've always been a fan of steve coogan, partridge being my favourite and was worried he may be past his best since seeing a show on his last tour, but this reaffirms why i fell in love with his comedy. Listened in the car for a week a chapter at a time and couldn't stop laughing in places, te rewind it back to listen again. Loved his chapter about his wife. All in all the best audiobook i've ever listened to. He's a real pro.
"AH-HA Brilliant!!"
As a fan of the shows I was instantly drawn to this book and it is Brilliant.
The book tells the life story of Alan Partridge and ties wonderfully into the TV shows. It does a brilliant job of telling the story from Alans point of view - a view which differs somewhat from what we all witnessed during the shows.
This is made even better by the whole thing being read by Steve Coogan in charecter as Mr Partridge.
It adds so much to the whole experience of this wonderfully written book.
If you are a fan of the show or remember watching them at the time - listen to this book it is really funny!!
My friend Dan listened to this audio book and laughed so hard that he had Kenco running down his nostrils. And that made me laugh, but my nostrils were clear.
"The finest comedy character ever created."
It's needs listened to weekly. Jam packed hilarious life story of a complete fudd.
Look forward to the next instalment. God bless him
That's first class. That is superb.
Alan Partridge is one heck of a solid guy and has definitely bounced back.
"The audio book betters the printed text."
I have one piece of advice with regards this audio book; don't listen to it on public transport as you will inevitably draw perturbed glances from fellow commuters when you erupt into spontaneous laughter. This book is hilarious, made all the more so because it is read by Mr Partridge himself. Alan pronounces every word with self-aggrandising relish as he regales us with his most worthy of life stories.
This book perfectly apes the self-important style of so many autobiographies as Alan strives to add excitement and significance to his mediocre successes. I think this is one of the rare occasions where the audio book is actually better than the printed text. It is Alan Partridge's story told by Alan Partridge, as only he can tell it. This is exactly how the author (that is to say, authors) intended it to sound.
Steve Coogan executes a flawless reading. This character must be like an old pair of boots to him at this stage and he effortlessly delivers a classic comedy performance. This story stands up there with the very best of the TV series as Coogan squeezes every drop of comedy out of Alan's middle-class self-deluded glory.
The one downside to the audio book is that some of the footnotes from the text appear to be missing. It's a small concession however. If you are going to experience this story, then the audio book is certainly the best format to choose.
This book is really uncomfortable to listen to, in a very good way. The cringe-factor of Alan Partridge, in all his self-deluded glory, is at times almost unbearable. It is like an episode of the Office, only worse. I loved the book and it made me laught many many times, and at times I just wanted to scream in frustration at this hopelessly self-deluded man. Enjoy!
"Classic Partridge"
Excellent book, well written, well read. As a Partridge fan I was particularly pleased with the accuracy of the book, in terms of time-lines and references to his past works. A few in-jokes for the Partridge geeks, like Lynn's name never being mentioned but I'm sure the book works equally well for new comers too.
"Back of the net, cashback, jurrasic park, etc"
This is a brilliant audiobook. Possibly the best audiobook ever written slash read by a man. I can't think of an audiobook that I would rather hear read by its author than this one, except for maybe the Steve Jobs one, because then it'd mean Steve was still alive but I only just thought of that, so it doesn't count.
Anyway, if you're either a fan of Alan's or the sort of person who would really like his stuff then this is definitely for you.
I just realised the Steve Jobs reference doesn't work because he didn't write the biography, hence it's a biography and not an autobiography. I should, therefore remove all reference to it in this review since it is, strictly speaking, out of context, but if I do that the review will be a 'bit light', so it stays.
"Brilliant Book"
I had purchased the hard copy of the book but when i found out there was an audio book narrated by Steve Coogan himself i had to get it. The book doesnt disappoint. The only problem is in places the quality of the audio becomes very weak, however that being said overal it is a great audio book.

Dr Tran knows that he can't treat my health problems without knowing me as a person. He is courteous, kind and professional. He's also skilled. Other doctors have misdiagnosed problems that Dr Tran solved.
Having many allergies and medical needs, I needed a doctor who would work with other doctors concerning my care. He took full charge of all my medications, so to avoid many a drug interaction.He remains very active in my total health care plan.When he is not available Dr. Lowell Koppel has full access to my records. This extra effort on his part has given me peace of mind. I can rest assured that when a health care issue arises they will do their best in taking care of it.
Won't be coming back here again.
Great Doctor. Spent plenty of time with me. Would highly recomend.
i remember this dude. he's works at snail pace and has terrible bedside manners. not only that he kept on guessing everything. is he really a doctor? lost my faith in doctors. thank goodness he's not at this place anymore. good thing they got rid of him.
