Prominent Greek banking duo reveal €13bn-plus capital shortfall
EFG Eurobank Ergasias and Piraeus Bank, two of Greece's largest lenders, said on Thursday that they will need a capital boost in excess of €13bn, after reporting combined losses of €1.7bn for the first nine months of the year.
Eurobank, the country's second-biggest lender by assets, will require €5.8bn, while Piraeus Bank, the fourth-largest, will need €7.3bn, they said, attributing their losses for 2012 to high loan-loss provisions and weaker banking income following the country's €200bn debt restructuring earlier this year.

Observers say overhaul of Saudi Arabia's legal system is moving slowly due to complexity of reforms, lack of qualified judges, resistance from traditional establishment.
Middle East Online
By Caryle Murphy - RIYADH
The overhaul is moving slowly
Saudi Arabia's top religious body has given the green light to codify the largely unwritten Sharia regulations governing the kingdom's criminal, civil and family courts in order to bring more clarity and uniformity to judicial rulings.
The codification project is part of a major overhaul of the country's legal system initiated three years ago by King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz.
The overhaul is moving slowly, observers say, because of the complexity of the reforms, lack of qualified judicial personnel and resistance from the country's ultraconservative religious elite, who see their long-time control of Saudi courts threatened by proposed changes.
"The traditional establishment is by nature against these reforms," said the Riyadh lawyer Ibrahim A al Modaimeegh. "So it's going to take time to implement them."
Legal reforms are especially needed in the commercial area in order to attract foreign investment that Saudi Arabia is seeking to assist its economic diversification and create jobs necessary for a huge youth bulge that is entering the labour market.
The kingdom's accessions to the World Trade Organisation and the G20 club of influential economies also mean that its legal system should meet international guidelines for commercial transactions.
Indeed, Saudi Arabia's 2005 entry to the WTO was an impetus for King Abdullah's renewed effort to reform the legal system, something that his predecessors had tried twice before only to be stymied by the religious establishment, for whom maintaining a strict, conservative interpretation of Islamic law is essential to Muslim identity.
The need for reform is apparent in regular newspaper accounts about long delays in courts because of a severe shortage of judges, as well the lack of due process in criminal cases.
Many courts are not computerised and dates for future hearings are entered into a written ledger, said Ronald E Pump, an American lawyer who practises in the kingdom. In both criminal and civil cases, he noted, there often is no live testimony, adding, "if you can't make your case on documents, you're dead".
Saudi judges do not discriminate against foreign businesses, but they lack enforcement powers. As a result, even when foreigners obtain favourable rulings in commercial disputes, they often cannot collect what is owed them. "It's easy to win your case, but the problem is enforcement," Pump said.
Criminal courts are frequent targets of criticism from Saudi lawyers and human rights activists. The absence of a penal code with clear definitions of crimes and appropriate sentences gives judges great latitude and it is not uncommon for a judge to increase a sentence if a defendant exercises his right to appeal. Defendants are not always given lawyers and trials are generally not open to the public.
Last year, 330 suspects detained on terrorism-related charges were tried in secret in a new court attached to Riyadh General Court. Most of them were sentenced to prison terms of varying lengths and one received the death sentence, which the government announced after the trials were over.
Saudi rights activists and lawyers in touch with families of detainees said the trials amounted to summary judgments in which the defendants did not have appropriate opportunities to challenge evidence presented by prosecutors.
"It's shameful to have this kind of trial [because] there are a lot of mistakes," said Abdelaziz M al Gasim, a former judge who now works as a lawyer.
He said that one defendant received a 10-year sentence for giving a lift to people whom he did not know were al Qa'eda members.
"There are no lawyers, no family, no audience, no journalists, so it is broken trials," said al Gasim.
King Abdullah took the first step towards legal reform with a 2007 law that would restructure the courts. That law split the old Supreme Judicial Council into two bodies, one for adjudicating appeals and one for administering the judiciary. It also expanded the number of appeals courts from two to 13.
The king allocated nearly US$2 billion (Dh7.3bn) to implement the restructuring and to expand training for judges and other court personnel. Some of that money is now being used to construct new appeals courts and to send some judges abroad for legal seminars.
While some steps have been taken to improve legal cadre training, there is still a lack of personnel knowledgeable about modern court administration and procedures, as well as insufficient numbers of lawyers. These shortages are seen as obstacles to reform.
"There is no proper legal education to produce qualified people," said Modaimeegh, the Riyadh lawyer.
Implementing the structural changes has been rocky. Last year, the king removed the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Sheikh Saleh al Luheidan, because the ultraconservative cleric was obstructing implementation of the proposed reorganisation, Saudi lawyers said.
And tough bargaining continues between the justice ministry and the newly reconstituted Supreme Judicial Council because of "overlaps" in defining their new responsibilities, al Gasim said. The council says it needs its own budget and administrative control to guarantee the independence of judges, while the ministry wants to direct the judiciary's finances and administration, al Gasim added.
In addition, an older generation of judges is refusing to accept as equals younger judges because they have not had same intensive Sharia training, although they have years of experience working in arbitration committees sprinkled throughout government ministries, according to two legal sources. Under the restructuring, these committees are to become specialised courts within the national system.
The proposed codification, announced by Mohammed al Eissa, the Saudi justice minister in May, is likely to be another contentious undertaking. Approved in March by the Council of Senior Ulema, it will reportedly cover penal, civil and family laws, and take years to complete.
Saudi judges are said to be weary of any code that would impinge their independence to apply their own legal reasoning, or ijtihad. However, some Saudis say that creating more transparency and predictability in the legal process will not weaken the rule of Sharia in the legal system.
Codification "is a must….to give clarity and [reduce] ambiguity" in judicial application of laws, said the Riyadh-based Saudi lawyer Mohammad al Dhabaan. There is no reason, he added, why the new code cannot "be 100 per cent in compliance with Sharia".

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Like all the other zombie geeks out there, I had extremely high hopes
for this, George A. Romero's return to the genre that made him famous;
a genre that, even if he didn't necessarily create, he managed to
distill into a unique formula that inspired countless imitations. A
recent "surge in the popularity of zombie movies" (meaning major
studios learned there's money to be made in these types of films and
started greenlighting them again) allowed Romero to secure the budget
for this fourth entry in his "Living Dead" series.
Dennis Hopper is the prerequisite "corporate greed" character who has exploited the remains of civilization; in ways that are never quite made clear, he has created a walled-in safe zone inside the perimeter of Pittsburgh (although it's never named, that's where it's supposed to be set). Even though there are no real banks anymore, money must have some value because some people are "poor", while a select few are "wealthy" and live in a fortified luxury building, an unsubtle reference to gated communities. The living who are fortunate enough to be inside the walled-off city spend their lives eating the crumbs of the rich. The real danger is leaving the city to gather much-needed supplies, a hazardous mission carried out by a special forces team using a specially designed armored vehicle lovingly nicknamed Dead Reckoning. John Leguizamo is part of the team and imagines that Hopper will one day let him move into the exclusive luxury building. Hopper refuses, so Leguizamo steals Dead Reckoning and threatens to blow up Hopper's building unless he is paid $5 million.
But there's even more trouble; the zombies are demonstrating signs of being sentient, at least enough to remember their past lives. A zombie referred to in the credits as "Big Daddy" begins to get indignant about the way the living people come and mow down his kind with machine guns, and using grunts and groans, he riles up the other zombies and leads them in a march on the gated city.
Simon Baker is also on Leguizamo's foraging team, and although the movie suggests he's a badass, he's bland as toast and clearly the good guy. We know this because he keeps a friend with him who has been disfigured in a fire and whom everyone else refers to as a "retard". Into the mix comes Asia Argento, who plays a tough, impossibly gorgeous hooker named Slack. Together they are roped into a mission to retrieve the on-the-run Leguizamo, which conveniently places them out of harm's way when the living dead march on the city.
I liked the way Romero showed the way life continued even after the zombie crisis. In a way, the inspiration for this seems to have been drawn from the stories featured in Skipp & Spector's "Book of the Dead" series, which featured short stories by various authors about the world both during and after the rise of the living dead as depicted in Romero's films. The Dead Reckoning truck was a good idea--finally someone in a zombie movie realized you need an armored vehicle to ensure your own safety, although nobody has learned yet that you should probably cover all exposed skin to avoid bites from the living dead.
On the down side, the motivation of the characters is muddled on all counts. Why does Leguizamo want money? Wouldn't money be worthless in a world made up of the living dead? And if money is worthless, how does Hopper maintain his power? After a living dead apocalypse, how could anybody become a waiter in a restaurant (as depicted briefly inside Hopper's luxury tower)? Do we feel sympathy for the zombies, or not? In all the other "Living Dead" movies, the zombies were a constant, claustrophobic threat. Here we're invited to side with them, and they mostly look silly. Even worse, "Land of the Dead" has absolutely zero atmosphere. The pacing is so rapid that there's barely enough time to think about what's happening, let alone allow any suspense to build. I wanted to see more of the world oustide the perimeter of the city. Instead, we only get a glimpse of one small town where the zombies lurk. You know when zombies are going to attack, so it's never a jolt, and I can't remember a single shock in this movie, or even a moment when I cringed. The inevitable invasion of the safe zone should have been scary, but was rather unspectacular due to the editing. The social commentary is heavy-handed and has been overstated. The gore in the movie is R-rated, and the effects aren't as good as Tom Savini's makeup FX in "Day of the Dead".
The other weird thing I noticed about this film is that it has "TV syndrome". At times it is shot and edited like an episode of "ER", as if it's got to get a big story over and done with in an hour's time slot. I don't remember one single conversation in the film that was not underscored by a vague "ominous music" score that was completely unmemorable and didn't belong there at all. None of the conversations seemed real, it was more like an episode of "Buffy the Zombie Slayer".
I didn't like "Land of the Dead" all that much. The remake of "Dawn of the Dead" was a lot more enjoyable; even though it was super-dumb, at least it had some good suspense in it, and some electric action sequences. "Land of the Dead" isn't scary at all, and winds up being very dull. I'm suspecting that since this movie was made for a major studio, Romero was working within certain limitations that affected the outcome of the film. "Land of the Dead" should have been better, and ultimately the anticipation of it was a lot more exciting than the film itself.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Most other comments seems to be infected by a classic case of -Let's
read a plethora of theories and commentaries into this as an
after-construction-kinda deal. It's easy to sum this movie up in one
sentence: A violent story about a group of people in search for their
missing car.
This has been praised as a stand against class-society and apparently it should contain a vast amount on social commentary. Where? Name one action movie who hasn't got a rich villain and a poor hero or some misfit trying to set things right based on his unbreakable social pathos.
And some of the huge plot holes:
Well the monatery system in this movie can't be explained. Why does currency still work in a world where there a so few people, and plenty of goods to go around for everybody.
The gated community is just a silly, awfully depicted place, instead of dealing with the situation they sit around drinking champagne and buying designer clothes. (Is this the huge social comment?!?)
Why build a stupid land train when you can loot every tank regiment on Earth?
After the three first (Night, Dawn and Day) Land... seems to be a world of it's own. It seems to be so far away from anything else, depicted in the first three, it could be a pilot for a TV-series.
Many may complain about the one dimensioned actors but, be fair, how would ANY actor act in such a humourless, wafer thin story like this. The direction seems more to be inspired by army boot camp than any sort film-making. It follows the same concept over and over and over again: "Run-Shoot-Swear-Run-Shoot-Swear" And by God do not under any circumstances show any emotion except anger.
I was almost breastfed with zombie movies and for almost 20 years it's been a great inspirational source. It pains me to see this movie and I hate to admit that not even me, one of the greatest fans on the genre, can protect Romero from this failure.
Mr. Romero, get back to the drawing board, and better luck next time.
I still have hope!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Just got back from the "industry screening" of Land, with GAR in
attendance (5 rows ahead of me).
Not to give out any spoilers, because I won't...but this film rocked. Does it have a different feel than Night, Dawn, and Day? Of course it does...why? Because of the fact that it's 2005, and movie making has changed over the course of the years. And also, this wasn't an independent film in the same way the other three were.
BUT, what they got away with, gore-wise, was absolutely incredible. My buddy and I were laughing with glee through the entire flick at all of the violence. Let me put all doubts to rest: This IS a George A Romero zombie film. This is NOT a rip-off...it's the real deal. Head shots, decapitations, zombie biting people with the typical fleshy ripping...intestines...the works. I was SHOCKED at the amount of gore they managed to get into the film. I spoke with the Production Manager after wards, and he assured me that the gore in the film is NOTHING compared to what's going to be on the DVD. Oh, and on the way out, I got to shake GAR's hand and tell him that this is an incredible film. Honestly, it's this generation's "Dawn". (And yes, that means it's more fast paced etc etc, which some purists might be ticked off about). And when I say this is this generation's "Dawn", I mean THIS is the zombie movie people will remember years from now. It totally blows the other recently released zombie flicks (including the Dawn remake) out of the water.
The acting was excellent all around...and I mean all around. There were no bad performances. Even Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo, who both were put down on the message board for being in the film, were amazing. Hell, even the zombies kicked ass.
Anyway, that's all I'll say. You guys will either love it or hate it. I loved it.
Final word: Watch for the priest zombie. You'll know what I mean when you see it...hilarious. And watch for the arm scene...a hand upheld in a foggy mist...you'll understand when you see that too. Also, watch for the hilarious departure of two of Dennis Hopper's assistants...his personal assistant and his butler. LOL funny.
I was able to catch an advance screening with friends last night, and
maybe it was just the mood we were in, but we had a blast. It took me a
few minutes to get the direction George was going with this one, but
once I did, it cranked on almost every cylinder.
The first thing to note is this is not a serious, somber, scare you out of your pants zombie movie. What it actually plays out as instead is a social commentary on class, politics, and stereo types, while having a good time doing it. Think more Evil Dead meets Mad Max meets Night of the Living Dead, and you'll get a clearer picture of the movie George has made here.
Yes, it is very violent, and yes, there are plenty of "feedings." Highly recommended for those whose take zombie movies as seriously as they should.
Land of the Dead - The 4th part of George A. Romero's zombie
quadrillogy. It's been decades since the dead began to walk the Earth,
and now they practically own it (except for Canada for some reason).
There is one last little mega-city that is surrounded by electric
fences, armed patrols and barbed wire on one side, and nothing but
water on all other four sides, because the dead supposedly don't like
water. Despite the fact that the surrounding lands are rife with
zombies, this metropolis is incredibly corrupt. All thanks to evil
bureaucrat Kaufman (Dennis Hooper, who I had a ball watching) who makes
all but a select few rich folks (who have never seen or fought a real
zombie) live in slums. There you can get your picture taken with
zombies, or watch zombie fights (they fight over animals and the
occasional human). There are a few mercenaries paid to make runs in a
giant tank truck for precious commodities in the outside world.
Now I like George and could thank him endlessly for starting the zombie franchise, but he has always favored gore just a little more over character development, and has always liked his zombies just a LOT more than his humans. Heck in this movie, the zombies are practically the good-guys! They're just like you and me, except they rip people's arms in two (and I do mean length-wise) and tear belly button rings out of people. They are actually pretty intelligent and moderately fast at walking. By far the biggest threats in Romero's movies (most notably "Big Daddy" (Eugene Clark). For the most part though, it works, and it's good gory fun. Except the character development thingy. While I don't begrudge Romero for having fun with his zombies, I wasn't too sympathetic to Riley (Simon Baker) or Slack (Asia Argento). Riley, like Romero it seems, is just tired of character development as he has Riley say "I'm fed up with back-stories". But Riley dear boy, that's how the audience grows to care about you. Slack almost kills several of her fellow team-mates and does not grow at all, but that's the script's fault. Both of these characters, however are played well for what the actors are given.
Surprisingly the secondary characters are far more endearing. Cholo (John Leguizamo) was not only believable as a merc, but I was quite sympathetic to him as he realized that he was a pon. "Pilsbury" (Pedro Miguel Arce) and Charlie (Robert Joy) are endearing and funny.
So the effects are good. The story is iffy. The acting is good. The character development is iffy. The ending is really lame. This gets an overall B
George Romero returns to the genre he had perfected with his "dead" trilogy (Night of, Dawn of, and Day of), with a fourth installment, LAND OF THE DEAD. Fans of the first three films will no doubt be lining up in droves to see this film regardless of what the critics say. Regardless, die hard zombie fans and critics alike should be pleasantly surprised. The sneak peak I saw had fans hooting and hollering and received a standing ovation at the end of the film. The film, while not perfect, is still a achievement in bringing a once dead genre back to life. And who better to do it than the master himself, George A ROmero. Land of the Dead, most closely resembles the dark comedy of Day of the Dead than the other two films, and manages to blend the classic elements of Dawn of the Dead with the modern expectations of films like 28 days Later. Romero fans will love it, and modern horror seekers should hopefully be exposed to a great time. Great special effects, plenty of gore, and great performances all around especially from John Legiozomo, Dennis Hopper, and Asia Argento. Do yourself a favor, and GO SEE THIS MOVIE on the big screen!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie was terrible! The storyline - can't use the word plot as
that would give it too much credit - was tedious! Some say it was a
great perspective on class? Are you kidding me!!! From the HORRIBLE
acting to the complete and utter Lack of dialog, characters changed
motives, desires and allegiances so quickly without any second
thoughts. Plus, a lot of scenes just plain didn't make Any Sense!
*SPOILER* I realize that the two troops were sent up to keep an eye on our main characters but why in the world did the big guy suddenly knock out that woman?!?! What was with that? The gratuitous female-on-female scene? What purpose did that serve? Only the one zombie guy seemed to be learning anything and leading the troops yet was able to avoid huge blasts from explosives while zombies around him exploded? These characters have such amazing aim at such strange points but then they can't kill this One Zombie? And everyone in the van just blindly follows Choro but then immediately switches alliances? And what was with the girl who was ready to nuke the entire city but then, when asked to fire on a bunch of zombies and half-eaten civilians all of a sudden she has a heart? Plus, even after Choro turned into a zombie he was able to carry out his revenge? Not only was he able to remember to kill that CEO guy but also he was able to find him that easily? And what was with the horribly, cheesy ending where they just want a place to live?!? Uh, hello, have we forgotten that THEY ARE DEAD!!!! Kinda the Premise of the movie!!!
Oh I just was SO disappointed - and I gotta say, I didn't have high expectations or anything, I just couldn't believe how bad it really was. My boyfriend and I looked at each other after the movie and were so angry - he had been particularly excited about this one and I thought the idea that the zombies would possibly be learning something well that was neat. OH SO SAD when a Great series like this jumps the shark!
I went in to this movie expecting the worst and couldn't have been more wrong. Romero did a good job keeping to what he does best- zombie and social commentary. The special effects and gore were really good and "Dead Reckoning" doesn't look as much like a DAWN OF THE DEAD (remake) parking shuttle, as it does in the trailers. I did feel that they introduced "Big Daddy" way to early in the film and overused him. I would have enjoyed the movie more if he was just another zombie. Cameo's by Simon Pegg, Tom Savini, and Edgar Wright were barely noticeable. I would have liked to see more "daytime" scenes but I don't think that is what Romero had in mind. Overall, it was a fun movie that had a few sudden scares and some good humor.
I saw this film at a preview screening here. I thought it was great fun and a return to what Romero does well - zombies. It does not pretend to be anything but what it is and that's why I think it's better than one of the earlier reviewers on this site did. I thought the characters were well drawn - I'd especially like to see Charlie's back story - and the set-up for a possible sequel (and a possible show-down between Riley and the Big Daddy zombie) intriguing. Dennis Hopper was a fairly clichéd villain but I always like seeing him on screen. The movie may be seen by some to have way too few shocks (I only jumped and clutched my companion a couple of times but then I may be jaded) and too many "merely amusing" moments. The audience I saw it with all seemed to enjoy it, applauding at the end.
I've just arrived from CineVegas at The Palms where Romero got a vanguard award. I've never seen a zombie movie, so I thought I'd check this one out. Anyway I'm a bit tired, but all I can say is WOW. This film rocked! The gore was awesome. There was some cringe-worthy stuff, one instance I remember is there's this chick with a belly button ring who gets attacked,and yeah... imagine what happens next. Also, this film was FUNNY! The audience just gobbled up all the violence and gore. As the previous poster mention Dennis Hopper was just excellent and the way he handled getting rid of one of his assistants was the funniest part in the movie. All in all, this movie exceeded my expectations and was money well spent.

This was ideal for my requirements, though Central London was over an hours journey by tube. A modern hotel close to stunning riverside developments. Quiet, efficient and unobtrusive service.

Historical Traveler Reviews Vacation Village Port Macquarie
Wow! Loved this hotel
After a long day flying back from Paris, we were hot sweaty and tired. What a breath of fresh air this place was - located in a new development, the staff were absolutely fantastic. Despite us looking like we'd been dragged through a hedge backwards, the front end staff (Hannah the graduate in particular) treat us like royalty. Our room, on the top floor, was one of the 'Laura Ashley' suites - decorated in nice pastels and lovely beds. I could have lived my life there, the room was THAT nice!
We only stopped the one night but all throughout the service was impeccable, polite, friendly and of the highest standard. Breakfast was delicious and it's definitely the best nights sleep I've had in ages!
Only one minor gripe - it IS a distance from the tube but in mitigation, the bus service from Fulham Broadway station drops you right outside the hotel. Also, if you have bought a daily pass for the Tube, this is valid on the buses too, so no extra cost. It's only a minor gripe but please don't let it put you off this great hotel!
Nice but too far from the Tube
Pleasant hotel that we found with a package from British Airways. Won't be staying here again until the planned Tube station goes in around the corner. The 15-20 minute walk to the station was a trial after a full day and Fulham isn't exactly where you'd spend your vacation. Good restaurants (other than the hotel) aren't in the area yet. Looks like it'll be wonderful in about 2 years.
Jury's Inn Chelsea was an Enjoyable Experience
My father and I recently stayed for 5 nights at the Jury's Chelsea Inn. The rooms are very roomy and cheerful with large bathrooms with bath tubs. We were given rooms 617 & 619 which were on the top floor having a nice city view as well as of the Thames River. The breakfast buffet was filling with much variety. We found by taking taking the C3 Bus right outside the hotel to Earl's Court we were able to get to anywhere we wanted to go. British Airways has excellent deals for this hotel. We were able to get five nights for the price of four. I would highly reccommend this hotel and would stay there again.
Jurys Inn Chelsea: fantastic
Great hotel with great rates!
I booked my room through the internet and stayed for 3 nights from the 8th August and from start to finish had a great time. Being a relativley young couple, my boyfriend and I wanted to be close enough to the centre of London to have things to do, but not pay a fortune. This is what we got. I paid �65 a night but the standard rates looked just as good.
Getting to the hotel is quite a walk with bags etc, so I'd say get a taxi. Not many drivers know where it is as Imperial Road/Wharf is a relatively new area, so make sure you have a rough idea incase the cabbies need advice! (Having said this, we got there fine!)
On check in the staff were quick, friendly and happy to help with everything. The room had everything you'd need: a TV, Air-con, huge bed (we also had a single in our room: 417) and a large bathroom with bath and shower. Considering other supposedly cheaper hotels/Inns charge the same price for lower quality, I was more than pleased with the room we were in.
As I did not eat in the hotel, I can't comment on the food, but I can advise you take the walk to the Fulham Broadway Station and eat at any one of the bars at the station there. (Particularly The Slug and Lettuce!) Also, the Kings Road is just around the corner and there are a number of nice restaurants and bars down that way too.
If I stay in London again, this hotel will definately be my first choice. I would highly recommend staying here.
Clean, new hotel
We stayed 6 nights at the Jurys Inn, Chelsea in early August, 2004. As all the other reviews mentioned, this is an almost brand new hotel. What that means for the most part is that the hotel is clean, spotless really, but it also has a few kinks it is still trying to work out. For instance, one night the automated wake-up call service wasn't working. When I called the front desk, they said they would set it manually from there, but the next morning no wake up call came. Given that there was no alarm clock in the room, this could have been a major disaster, but luckily we were not leaving that morning. The staff was apologetic afterwards and promised to give us a personal wake up call the morning of our flight, but after that incident the automated system worked.
The newness of the hotel, and the fact that it is part of a chain, also mean that it lacks a certain amount of soul. We were looking for a bargain hotel in London, and having read some horror reviews on this and other sites, we decided to trade soul for a safe, no hassle experience, and that's pretty much exactly what we got with Jurys, so no complaints there at all. But if you want an interesting place to stay, this hotel is not for you.
The staff members were friendly and helpful when we needed anything. It was particularly warm the week we were in London, and therefore the hotel's air-conditioning was really welcome.
Finally, several other reviewers have mentioned the walk to the nearest Tube station. It is about a 10-15 minute walk, half of which is interesting. But there are two buses that go right by the hotel, and quite frequently. One takes you to Fulham-Broadway in about 2-4 minutes, and the other to Earl's Court in 10 minutes or so. Another location-related note: several taxi drivers we asked had no idea where the hotel was, and one drove us to the wrong Jury's hotel in nearby Kensington. So be sure to get good driving directions from the hotel if you're going to rely on cabs.
Great hotel
Stayed at Jury's in May, 2004. The bedroom and bathroom are very large. Everything is brand new and in great condition. The staff was helpful too.
I did not eat breakfast in the restaurant but had a croissant in the bar and also had a light dinner in the bar. Both meals were good and a great value.
The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the subway. There is also a bus stop across the street from the hotel. The surrounding area is safe. Once the wharf is complete, there should be a wonderful selection of restaurants and shops nearby.
I would definitely stay here again.
Outstanding Value
We just returned from an 11 day London vacation; our Jurys Inn Chelsea accomodations were outstanding; the room was quiet, roomy, pleasant, and well maintained by the staff; the full English breakfast was quite good; and the staff was uniformly friendly and helpful. There are bus lines across the street to take one to the underground, but we found the 15 walk to the Fulham Broadway station easy and interesting (make your way through the park). If and when we ever return to London, this will be our hotel.
Great new hotel
We stayed at the Jury's Inn Chelsea just after it opened in April 2004 and found it to be clean, modern and reasonable. The Fulham Broadway tube station is only a 15 minute walk from the hotel and gives easy access to all of London. The staff on the front desk and in the restaurants were friendly and helpful at all times.
We look froward to staying there again in the future.

Brand new, but still needs to work on things
We stayed in this hotel 2 days after it opened. I'm not sure they were prepared. The lobby is great. Food in the restaurant was very good, and very cheap. We had dinner with appetizers for less that 10 pounds each. That's unheard of. The waitstaff wasn't sure what was on the menu and didn't understand English at all. Luckily the manager came over and took our order. The room is spacious and shower is very nice. We must have been the first people to stay in our room because the sofa sleeper still had the plastic on it and there were not any sheets/blankets for it stored anywhere. They were very attentive and nice. I would not recommend this hotel if you do not have a car. I could see it being hard to get to this hotel without one. They were not sure if they were on a bus line. I'm not sure either. Long walk to main street. They also do not have their own car park, so you have to use a public park for a rate. 5 pounds for overnight and 2 pounds per hour during the day (from 7am - 5pm). A little steep, but it was a nice stay overall. Rate was great. I'd like to see how they are in a year or so.
Great hotel !!
The Jurys Chelsea is a great, brand new hotel !
I work in London during the week and have stayed in many different hotels in varying locations but I have to say this hotel is one of the best !!
I stayed week commencing 26 April 04 which I think was only a couple of weeks after opening and the stay was made even better by a fantastic opening rate - but even the full rates look good
The entrance lobby is bright and welcoming with very friendly staff on reception - I arrived very early on a Monday morning but was still able to check in very quickly and efficiently - my room was large and airy with brand new furniture and fittings - the bathroom was equally nice with one of the best showers to be found anywhere in London and Im looking forward to going back in the Summer to take full advantage of brilliant air-con !!
All in all a wonderful experience, and once the shops, bars, and restaurants are all completed in the area it will be better still. 10/10 - I will certainly be back for more !!

During our Christmas break from school, Julie, Reid and I took a trip to London. We left on Sunday, December 27, for the Atlanta airport. The traffic was extremely heavy on I-85.

This little textile was destined for the Inspired by Alice exhibition curated by the very talented artist Lynette Thomas at the Enchanted Tea Rooms, Cheltenham UK, this month.
The theme for the exhibition is Alice in Wonderland so anything along the line of this theme was welcome. I've now listed it in my Etsy shop as I've been quite inspired by this theme so managed to produce rather more than I needed for the exhibition as there will be 14 other artists taking part.
I'll post a few of the jewellery pieces that I've made for the exhibition in the next couple of days.

The Zamiaceae are a family of cycads that are superficially palm or fern-like. They are divided into two subfamilies with eight genera and about 150 species in the tropical and warm temperate regions of Africa, Australia and North and South America.
The Zamiaceae are perennial, evergreen, and dioecious. They have subterranean to tall and erect, usually unbranched, cylindrical stems, and stems clad with persistent leaf bases (in Australian genera).
Their leaves are simply pinnate, spirally arranged, and interspersed with cataphylls. The leaflets are sometimes dichotomously divided. The leaflets occur with several sub-parallel, dichotomously-branching longitudinal veins; they lack a mid rib. Stomata occur either on both surfaces or undersurface only.
Their roots have small secondary roots. The coral-like roots develop at the base of the stem at or below the soil surface.
Male and female sporophylls are spirally aggregated into determinate cones that grow along the axis. Female sporophylls are simple, appearing peltate, with a barren stipe and an expanded and thickened lamina with 2 (rarely 3 or more) sessile ovules inserted on the inner (axis facing) surface and directed inward. The seeds are angular, with the inner coat hardened and the outer coat fleshy. They are often brightly colored, with 2 cotyledons.
One subfamily, the Encephalartoideae, is characterized by spirally arranged sporophylls (rather than spirally orthostichous), non-articulate leaflets and persistent leaf bases. It is represented in Australia, with two genera and 40 species.
As with all cycads, members of the Zamiaceae are poisonous, producing poisonous glycosides known as cycasins.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Israel's High Court granted limited permission for foreign journalists to enter Gaza "at their own risk."
The ruling allows up to 12 foreign journalists to enter the Gaza Strip when the border is open for aid transfer.
A petition submitted on November 24 by the Foreign Press Association (FPA) claimed that banning foreign reporters from Gaza gave the impression that Israel had something to hide and dealt "a grave and mortal blow against freedom of the press and other basic rights."
While the ruling was welcomed, Associated Press Jerusalem Bureau Chief Steven Gutkin, who also chairs the FPA, said he hoped the court would broaden the ruling.
"Anything the court does that furthers our goal of ensuring fee access to the Gaza Strip for the international media we view as positive," Gutkin said.
"We note the court ruling is limited in scope, and we hope the court will view positively our wider position as well," he said.
Meanwhile, State attorney Hila Gorni said allowing foreign press in and out of Gaza is a security risk right now.
Danny Seaman, director of the Government Press Office, said Hamas exploits foreign journalists.
"Based on our experience from the war in Lebanon [in the summer of 2006] and the way the foreign press has conducted itself in Gaza, we know that Hamas is in complete control of the news and that reports from Gaza are carried out under duress," Seaman said.
For security reasons, Israeli correspondents are banned from entering Gaza, but foreign journalists have always been free to enter Gaza.
International news agencies and foreign journalists have consistently displayed a lack of balance in their reporting on the Gaza Strip, rarely presenting Israel objectively.

Women should carry knife to protect themselves: Shilpa Shetty
By PTI - MUMBAI
Published: 07th September 2013 05:42 PM
Last Updated: 07th September 2013 05:48 PM
Urging women to become "self-reliant", Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty on Saturday recommended them to carry a knife to protect themselves from molesters.
"Some people and molesters have a sick mentality...
Police are doing their best to protect us, but how much they would do? Women should be self-reliant and carry a knife when they are in crowd," the actress told reporters here when her opinion was sought against the backdrop of recent assaults on women and gang-rapes in the metropolis.
The 38-year-old actor was speaking at Bhaidas Hall in Vile Parle on the sidelines of a programme organised by the city police to create awareness among the Ganesh mandals about the safety and security during the ten-day Ganesh festival starting from Monday.
"We are reading in newspapers about such incidents (assaults on women). I am just fed up and sometimes I feel what kind of society we are living in," she said.
The actor thanked the policemen for their "good work".
"The job of policemen is extremely difficult and they are doing it in an extraordinary way. Entire load should not be put on the shoulders of policemen (during the Ganesh festival)...you become a responsible citizen and if you find anything unclaimed at any pandal, kindly inform the police," the actor appealed.

Making Mr. Right
- Directed by Susan Seidelman
===Story=== New York director Susan Seidelman, who made the delicious ''Desperately Seeking Susan'', ran into a critical buzz saw with this follow-up film, which is actually a smart and cleverly acted little comedy about the battle of the sexes. Performance artist Ann Magnuson plays a commercial whiz who is hired to market a new, almost human android to the buying public. The scientist who created him (John Malkovich) is an antisocial nerd, but the robot (also Malkovich) is exactly what any woman would want: sensitive, caring, eager to please, and willing to listen. This leads Magnuson, who is repelled by the creator, to fall for the creation--but what do you do when you fall in love with a man-made man? Malkovich is delightfully loopy, while Magnuson brings snap and vigor to this role. Definitely better than its reputation. ''--Marshall Fine'' ===DVD Features=== *Color *Closed-captioned *Widescreen

Officials from Greeley-Evans School District 6 and Aims Community College think they have found the answer to the reoccurring problem of dropout rates, students ill-prepared to enter college and the increasing need for remediation.
If everything falls into place, Early College High School will open in the fall of 2015 with 200 students, and when the first class graduates in 2018, students will graduate with both a high school diploma and an associate of arts or associate of science degree from Aims.
"Instead of saying, … 'We're going to let these kids go through high school, and then we're going to bring them into college, and then we're going to spend two years on remediation, we're going to say, 'We know you're bright. We know you can do this. We're going to put you in this, but with postsecondary safety nets, like tutors and things like that," said Geri Anderson, special assistant to Aims President Marsi Liddell. "They get four years of high school and two years of college in four years."
Anderson spoke to the District 6 Board of Education at a recent work session about what an early college high school is and how it could work in Greeley.
The early college high school idea was first developed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The idea is students get a traditional high school education in 9th and 10th grade, but a full college undergraduate, general education slate of classes in 11th and 12th grades.
The student gets credit for the classes for both a high school diploma and a two-year post-secondary degree. Students would walk in graduation ceremonies for both the high school and at Aims.
Currently, there are more than 240 early college high schools with 75,000 students enrolled in 29 states.
Anderson said there are three main reasons for supporting early college high schools.
» If a student exits high school for any reason, getting them back in is difficult.
» Many students exit high school not prepared to go onto college and are unsuccessful.
» Remediation rates are high and, of the students who enter at the lowest level of remediation, only 4 percent will ever take a college level class, and only 4 percent of those graduate.
"Less than one-third of Colorado's college students graduate on time," Anderson said. "We're trying to accelerate that. We know if we accelerate it, we'll have a higher graduation rate. But this isn't just about accelerating students through (a four-year college). This is very intentional. This is about blending their high school and their college experience in a rigorous curriculum and providing them support systems so they can be successful."
Stacie Datteri , executive director of learning services for District 6, said if approved, the school would open for the 2015-16 school year with 100 students in 9th grade and 100 students in 10th grade. The district would add another 100 students in year two and, by the third year, the school would have 500 students.
The philosophy behind the design is to save both time and money.
"Parents are going to get two years of college for their student without making a single investment," Anderson said. "That is particularly important for low- and middle-income parents. They are going to get a quality education that is at the same standard as any four-year institution in the state. And we know that they will be well-prepared to move into that four-year college right after high school."
Anderson added, "And the beauty of this is, it is not for your high fliers. Those students are taken care of, and they are going to succeed no matter what. This is for what I call the middle-of-the-pack students."
Anderson said it is also a good opportunity for first-generation students or those on free and reduced lunches, which means their families meet federal poverty guidelines.
"We have mechanisms in place to support those students," she said.
The school would be a stand-alone high school, but there is nothing decided on the location.
Both Aims and District 6 agreed to form an exploratory committee to take the next steps in designing what it would look like. But Anderson said it would be district-run, not Aims-run.
"This is an institution that focuses on learning and not teaching," she said. "So you need to not only have the best teachers, but the administrators need to be passionate about this model. Aims has no desire to run this. We see ourselves as a partner in this and can bring a great deal to the table in terms of resources, but it would be a Greeley high school. They would be graduating from Aims Community College and a Greeley high school, not an Aims high school."
School board members were excited to get the project underway after reassurance that programs already in place such as Advancement Via Individual Determination and Advanced Placement wouldn't be cut as a result.
"I really am going crazy," said Logan Richardson, vice president of the board. "I mean you only have two years left to graduate with a four-year degree and then UNC has a one-year (program), so you really are looking at graduating from all 16 years in Greeley with just one year of (expense), that must be pretty popular among parents. I can see that as a motivation component because there is something on the line."

I'll hand it to the Nigerians, they are a very practical people if nothing. Seems football association officials have ruled that it's okay to take a bribe - as long as you don't act in a manner that necessarily suggests you altered your actions as a result of taking the bribe! How very sensible!
I was particularly intrigued by this remark in the article.
"Ranks"? Evidently they compile statistics and have various indexes of corruption. I wonder what categories they tabulate? Do you suppose it's possible that Nigerians might have bribed the tabulators?Despite a high-profile campaign to stamp out graft in the impoverished African country, Nigeria consistently ranks among the most corrupt countries in the world

And it was crazy - the show was initially scheduled for Turner Hall, but thanks in part to the chart success of sophomore album "Hummingbird," Local Natives was able to leapfrog the Pabst Theater for the approximately 2,500-capacity Riverside. »Read Full Article

Skaggs, Hornsby pair piano with frenetic fiddlin' around
From the carefully placed microphones to the stringed instruments in the hands of Ricky Skaggs and the six members of Kentucky Thunder, the stage of the Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Bingo Casino was clearly set Friday for an evening of bluegrass music.
Had that been the bill, it would have been a fine show of prodigious talent playing the music Skaggs has been mastering since his youth. But there in the middle of the stage was an unusual addition to bluegrass tradition: a grand piano and its own experimental master, Bruce Hornsby. »Read Full Article

Health department urges precautions against mosquitoes
BURLINGTON The Vermont Health Department is urging people to take precautions against mosquito-borne illnesses by avoiding bites that can spread illnesses such as eastern equine encephalitis or West Nile virus.
Human illnesses from mosquito-borne illnesses are rare, but last year two Vermonters died of EEE and three were sickened with West Nile.
Some suggestions from the health department include, when possible, wearing long sleeves and pants and avoiding outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
People should reduce mosquito breeding habitats by getting rid of standing water, such as in rain gutters, wading pools and old tires.
And people who are outside when mosquitoes are biting should use an effective insect repellent that has been deemed safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Grace Phelps scored twice, while Victoria Gates, Ally Brink and Alaura Rich also...

Weekend Meditation: Interdependency
-Wendell BerryIn the middle of your independence celebration weekend, take a moment to reflect on how dependent you are. And how that's not such a bad thing. Consider the strawberry, a classic food to enjoy on the 4th of July for obvious reasons: they're seasonal, sweet and delicious, and they're red. But they didn't just appear out of nowhere. First, someone had to grow them. And from there springs a net of dependancies we seldom consider. First, for simplicity's sake, let's just say the strawberries are organic (thus forgoing an exploration of the long chain of dependency on fossil fuel.) To enjoy a handful of strawberries, we rely on many things. Requirements for Planting and Growing Strawberries: A farmer, farm employees, the right amount of sun and rain and temperature, fertile soil, seasons--the entire, enormous system of the natural world, in fact, with it's infinite and complex layers of interdependencies. Also, possibly, are machines for cultivation, planting, weeding, and all that they are dependent on to exist and be maintained. But specifically, the farmer: Another dependent event too complex to fully explore but here's a start--air, water, food, shelter, clothing, tools, knowledge, health, capital, assistance, neighbors, friends and family. Or the truck that brings them from the farmer: good roads and properly built bridges, relatively cheap fossil fuels, working traffic lights and a social contract to follow them. And the people who made the truck and all that they were dependent on, and the system that delivered the fuel and all it's dependent on, and the driver of the truck and all the circles of dependancy that come from her life. I could go on: the grocery store or farmer's market, your own method of transportation, the little container that holds the strawberries...but perhaps you get the picture by now. Name one thing that isn't in relationship with something else. Find one aspect of your life, for better or worse, that stands alone and isolated. Impossible. Fact is, we are deeply, profoundly dependent at every level of existence. Now that's something to celebrate. (Image: Dana Velden)
