Inflation persistence and price-setting in the euro area : results of the Eurosystem Inflation Persistence Network
This article presents a summary of the main results produced by the Inflation Persistence Network (IPN), a network of researchers from the twelve national central banks of the euro area, the ECB and the universities, which aimed to conduct a joint analysis of Inflation persistence and pricing mechanisms. This network carried out both macroeconomic and microeconomic surveys. As regards Inflation persistence, one of the research findings indicated that the degree of Inflation persistence in the euro area was relatively moderate under the current monetary policy regime, but that these estimates were not very accurate. As regards the pricing strategies of firms, the IPN demonstrated among other things that firms in the euro area changed their prices less often than American firms, but that this greater rigidity was not due to any excess nominal downward price rigidity. The findings should permit the development of theoretical models based on microeconomic foundations compatible with the observed behaviour, and provide a better understanding of Inflation and the impact of monetary policy.

Has anyone seen this Ukranain fight? I have only seen his fight with Mormeck. Does he have any glaring weakness besides his chin. How good is his power?

I have seen two or three of his fights. His power is really good but his skills, technique and speed are not very... Mormeck, Bratwhite and Nelson are better.

Superhero Face Punch is crashing
Batman v Superman is still making a ton of dough, crossing $680 million worldwide, but at the rate it's dropping, it really might not break the much-needed $1 billion. Superhero Face Punch was expected to suffer a big drop in its second week in release, and it landed on the worst end of the estimate, losing 68% in week two. Full Story

Superhero Face Punch gets it done
Wenn, Theo Wargo/ Getty Images
It wasn't pretty and it will be debated forever, but Superhero Face Punch hauled in $424.1 million worldwide this weekend, with an estimated $170.1 million coming domestically, breaking The Hunger Games' pre-summer record. If the movie paces like The Dark Knight Rises did in 2012, it will crack the much-needed $1 billion benchmark, though there's already a feeling that Warner Brothers will settle for something in $700-800 million range and call it a win.

SPOILER FREE Well. Here it is. After nearly three years of marketing, hype, and expectation, the film I have called Superhero Face Punch arrives in theaters this Friday, where it lands with a leaden thump, an overlong, overly serious, grinding f*cking drag of a movie. If you're not already a fan of Batman, Superman, and/or Wonder Woman, Batman v Superman may well make you loathe them. Full Story

Countdown to Batman vs Superman. It doesn't have much competition this weekend either. Or the week after that. So it's free to dominate the box office for at least two or three weeks. Which is great for Warner Bros. Because, as Sarah has noted several times already, BvS has to clear a billion. Full Story

Stock markets boom but still face risks
The European and American stock markets appear to have put the financial crisis behind them, but problems have not gone away.
TranscriptTICKY FULLERTON, PRESENTER: Take a look at the European and American stock markets and you'd think the global financial crisis was a distant memory.
Equities have bounced back from their lows in spectacular fashion. The major markets are up 20 per cent in the last six months alone.
Money is moving from the emerging world to the developed world, the threat of inflation and ongoing debt problems receding into the background.
Trouble is, as Phillip Lasker reports, those problems haven't gone away.
PHILLIP LASKER, REPORTER: Trillions of dollars in debt, high unemployment in the US and Europe and nations on the brink of bankruptcy - it hasn't jeopardised an equity revival.
ROBERT BAUR, PRINCIPAL GLOBAL INVESTORS: I think there's time to act and I think there's also a consensus to act in the United States. The way the election went, a dramatic shift of power in the November election.
PHILLIP LASKER: Right now, the major focus is the revival in manufacturing across the developed world, driven by a rundown in inventories during the Global Financial Crisis and cheap currencies.
NEALE GOLDSTON-MORRIS, MACQUARIE SECURITIES: All economies go through cycles and even if you have headwinds of excess debt or structural problems in some countries, when you come off a cyclical low driven mainly by an inventory cycle, that overwhelms those structural headwinds for at least a couple of years.
Then, once those cyclical impulses fade, then all those headwinds you've mentioned correctly then come back into play again.
PHILLIP LASKER: Also in play are the trillions in stimulus dollars which are beginning to circulate as confidence grows, despite stubbornly high unemployment.
ROBERT BAUR: We think the US economy is in kind of a sweet spot right now. Inflation's not very high. We don't expect it to be too bad for a couple of years. Growth is coming on pretty strongly in the US, profit growth has been spectacular.
NEALE GOLDSTON-MORRIS: Last year for example it looks like corporate earnings - corporate earnings per share, if you like, were up around about 43 per cent. It's still being revised upwards and it's been continuous upward revision, so they'll probably settle about 44. This year already looks like it's going to be the order of 15 per cent.
PHILLIP LASKER: And in Europe, investors are banking on the willingness of countries enjoying a currency-led export boom to rescue their debt-laden neighbours.
NEALE GOLDSTON-MORRIS: 12 months ago people in Germany were pretty reticent about bailing out some of these affiliate or periphery countries because confidence levels were only just building. We've come a long way in 12 months now, and the willingness of Germany to underwrite some of these countries is far greater, because they see an overwhelming need to keep the Euro together.
PHILLIP LASKER: It's been a feature of commodity markets as well, particularly record copper prices which are responding to the improvement in manufacturing and global growth expectations.
JONATHAN BARRATT, COMMODITY BROKING SERVICES: We're reaching these levels purely on supply/demand scenarios, plus optimism for the new year that suggests that everything will OK.
PHILLIP LASKER: But even the optimists warn that everything won't be OK if government's don't use the upswing to aggressively address the debt problems, because skyrocketing interest rates could be just 18 months away.
Australia though may have another long-term problem which risks destroying a number of its export industries.
JOHN KYRIAKOPOLOUS, CURRENCY STRATEGIST, NAB: Our terms of trade due to the China industrialisation boom are about 30 per cent above their long-term average, so we'd also expect the A dollar to average a level 30 per cent above its long-term average.
So, we see that average shifting up to about 90 cents from the old 70 cents that we had been used to.
NEALE GOLDSTON-MORRIS: If we do, we'll probably have one or two industries in this country and nothing else.
PHILLIP LASKER: The resources industry, which sustained Australia through the global financial crisis, could eventually be the only sector standing.

HARRISBURG - The Trogner brothers built their dream over a decade, one beer recipe at a time.
It was a gamble, but today their microbrewery teems with towering stainless-steel vessels that churn and hum five days a week to create a select line of craft beers.
"We're not on the world-domination path," said John Trogner, 36, who with his brother, Chris, launched the Harrisburg-area Troegs Brewing Co. in 1997. But they do want to thrive.
Now the Trogners, like many in Pennsylvania's community of 67 beer brewers, believe they could get slammed by what is termed a "beer reform" measure winding through the legislature.

MADRID, Spain - A 35-year-old Tunisian is thought to have led the group suspected in the railway bombings in Madrid, according to the international warrant for his arrest released Thursday.
Sarhane Ben Abdelmajid Fakhet is one of six people sought in warrants that a Spanish judge issued Wednesday but made public a day later. He allegedly helped arrange the rental of the house outside Madrid where investigators say the bombs were assembled for the March 11 attacks.
Four of the others had been at the house, their warrants said.
State bans headscarves
BERLIN - A conservative German state on Thursday became the nation's first to ban Muslim teachers from wearing headscarves in public schools, taking a stand in a debate that has split public and political opinion.
Legislators in the southern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg approved the law with dissent only from the opposition Green party, which argued it was unbalanced because it still allowed Christian symbols in the classroom.
Suicide rates compared
LONDON - Although suicide rates around the world are about three times higher for men than women, evidence is mounting that in developing countries in Asia, suicide is far more common among young women than men.
In a study this week in The Lancet medical journal, researchers give the first picture of suicide among young people in India. In a region near Vellore in southern India, more than twice as many young women ages 10 to 19 committed suicide as men in the same age group.
The study found the average suicide rate for women in that age group was 148 per 100,000, compared with 58 suicides per 100,000 men.
Tabloid breaks pact
LONDON - A tabloid on Thursday published paparazzi pictures of Prince William on the ski slopes with a young woman described as his girlfriend, earning the displeasure of royal aides who barred the newspaper from future official photo opportunities.
The pictures of William and dark-haired Kate Middleton, spread across five pages of The Sun, are the first major breach of an agreement struck between the royal family and the press to leave Prince Charles's sons out of the limelight.
Newspapers had agreed only to publish photographs of William and his brother Harry taken during official photo opportunities - arranged twice a year by Charles' office.
The Sun's spread suggested that it could now be open season on the photogenic, 21-year-old prince.

Without question, this new era of Minnesota Vikings football we are about to usher in is exciting.
Head coach Mike Zimmer and his staff may have inherited veteran players like Adrian Peterson, Greg Jennings and Brian Robison, but rebuilding this team starts with its foundation.
General manager Rick Spielman has done his part in giving this roster another shot of confidence. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has been chosen to solve all of the Vikings offensive troubles, while linebacker Anthony Barr's freaky athleticism could make him the NFC North's next big thing on defense.
But what about all of the other rookies? How have they fared?
As training camp continues to move along, we have gotten the chance to see all of these young men in action. Using a bevy of media reports and countless information we've accumulated from some of the top analysts out there with boots on the ground, it's now time to unveil our rookie progress reports for 2014.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - If you put together a depth chart of the Phillies' outfield prospects, the thing that would jump off the page is the lack of depth on the chart.
That is why Grady Sizemore, after missing two full seasons and failing in his comeback bid with the Boston Red Sox earlier this season, is getting what amounts to a long tryout with the Phillies in the second half. If the Phillies were teeming with hot prospects at their upper minor-league levels, they would not have been nearly as eager to sit struggling Domonic Brown and unproductive Ben Revere in favor of the injury-ravaged Sizemore.

The photographer who shot images of Odd Future [1] member Left Brain getting aggressive towards members of the press [2] at the Voodoo Experience over the weekend told Billboard.com the rapper "exploded" into a vile rant, and without warning, struck two photographers, including a woman.
Responding to an earlier statement from Odd Future's rep [2] that the group told "photographers to clear out multiple times" before Left Brain (real name Vyron Turner) "took a swipe at a few cameras, NOT people," photo journalist Skip Bolen remembers a different series of events.
"Turner immediately exploded into his vile hatred of photographers with a long string of obscenities, and then hit one male photographer first -- breaking his Nikon 70-200mm lens," he said in a statement. "A split second later [he] hit the female photographer Amy Harris in front of me -- it was clearly assault and battery."
Bolen added that regarding the dispute on whether Left Brain took an actual swipe at Harris or just her camera, "they are both connected when a photographer is shooting photos -- and after the incident, Amy Harris' face was red."
During a performance at New Orleans' Voodoo Experience on Sunday (Oct. 30), Left Brain reportedly threw water and shoved photographers when fellow member Tyler, the Creator [3] spoke of his dislike towards concert photographers for blocking access to fans.
"It's no secret that Odd Future has a love/hate relationship with photographers at shows," the group's rep told Billboard.com's The Juice on Monday. "[It's] simply because sometimes they are given access the group wishes there fans would have instead."
The rep also said that, "To manipulate the situation [and] to insinuate an attack on a woman specifically is careless and manipulative."
Bolen argues that the publicist was likely not at the event, "because if they had, they would have realized the severity of what Vyron Turner (Leftbrain) did was very wrong."
For their part, organizers of the event have also condemned Odd Future's actions.
"The VOODOO EXPERIENCE does not in any way condone the behavior of Odd Future towards the approved media assembled in the photo pit during the band's set yesterday," the statement said. "Festival organizers would like to apologize to their media guests who experienced and/or witnessed this abusive behavior."
The alleged victim, Harris, told NBC33 in Baton Rouge [4] that she "never expected this to happen" to her.
Despite the incident, Harris declined to files charges at this time. Meanwhile, the group continues to tour on their Golf Wang Tour 2011 through Nov. 8.

I've noticed by going to many blogs out there that there seems to be a trend. Lots of the gaming blogs seem to attract controversy and arguments by spreading "fanboy" propaganda and many people just blog about their pisses and moans about current game happenings, or even their girl troubles. All of which is fine and dandy, but truth be told, I got a little bored with the bitching and the bias in many of these blogs. I'm not sure I'd be good enough or have the stamina to keep up with that kind of stuff.
I'm already married, so that takes much of the drama out of the girl scene for me. AND she's a gamer (on my friends list VirtualGirl6654) which to me is about as big an accomplishment as an beating Halo 1 on legendary without dying using only the pistol. In other words, I shouldn't be bitching about much girl trouble.
I consider myself pretty unbiased when it comes to games and game systems. I wouldn't consider myself a "fanboy" but I do have favorite games and game series. I believe that for the most part, good stuff comes out on every system so I won't fill my blogs with antagonizing posts throwing Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo under the bus or justifying why one is better than the other. I may, however, fill some blog space with good stuff and minor frustrations about one or the other.
I like to think of myself as mostly positive but let's face it, sometimes we all need to bitch. My goal is to write at least four good blogs to every one "bitch" blog where I just need to get stuff off my chest. Hey, we all need to do that every now and then.
My basic expectation of you the reader is to contribute!!! Please feel free to comment and add your opinions, likes, and dislikes to my blogs, but please don't waste your time posting stupid shit. I understand many of you have favorite systems and games, and feel free to voice that, but I'd appreciate it if we could all keep it on at least a somewhat respectful level. In other words, voice our opinions in a way that gives all of us gamers a good name.
The QUEST!!!!
So here's the plan. I've been trying to figure out what to write about for the past month or so, and I think I finally have a decent idea. I have kind of a big game collection and it's ever growing. Unfortunately, I have not beaten many of my game simply because I get a little bored or frustrated and put it down so I don't throw a controller through my TV. Don't get me wrong, about 30% of the games I own I have completed, but that still leaves a good chunk to be played! I am bringing you all on a quest with me to beat some great games.
I'm not sure what game to do first and I'd like to hear some of your requests, though the wife will probably win. She wants me to play through Final Fantasy VII. She told me that I couldn't call myself a self-respecting gamer until I've beaten that game. Honestly I am not a fan of turn based fighting and running into monsters that you can't see or avoid, but I know I'll play it eventually and I can't believe I've gone this long without doing so. Maybe she's right. I was also thinking about playing through the Zelda games one by one. I've beaten Ocarina, Windwaker, Minish Cap and played through most of Majora's mask, Twilight Princess, Oracle of Seasons, and Link to the Past. I've dabbled in the original, but I know there's still a ton of Zelda to be played! Should I start with the first and work my way through all of them I haven't completed? Or should I play something completely different? Let's hear your ideas!
Either way I plan on giving you all commentary on my quest to beat the classics that I have neglected for all of these years. Once I start, expect one or two blogs out of me per week hopefully not going without a blog for more than two weeks (sometimes work gets in the way of life's simple pleasures). And again, send me a message, look me up on live, or add a comment whenever you'd like. I would like hearing from you!
I'm really looking forward to this!!!!

[caption id="attachment_6830" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Laurie, Tim, and nine of their twelve children!"][/caption]
When raising 12 children, there's no such thing as extra time.
Laurie Leder will be the first to tell you. She's the busy, busy spouse of Army Staff Sergeant Tim Leder, stationed at Fort Belvoir, Va. While she may not have a lot of spare time, she values community service so much that she and her whole family make time to volunteer with the USO.
Laurie started volunteering after she received a video in the mail from United Through Reading, a USO partner. When she put the disk in the player she saw her husband in his camouflage uniform, alone in a chair, reading bedtime stories to her kids from a base in Iraq. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Every single night the kids could put the disk in and listen to him read a story to them," she said. "A lot of times people don't realize how big something that small is, especially when you have little ones who wouldn't otherwise remember him after being gone for a year."
Her oldest is 20—too old for bedtime stories—but her youngest is only nine months. All of her kids are home schooled, and Lori encourages every one of them to join her in volunteering at the USO as soon as they're old enough.
"I feel like my family has gotten way more from the USO than I can ever hope to give back, so when it comes time to teach my children about community involvement and volunteering, the USO is at the top of my list."
With so many USO programs and activities on and off base, every member of the Leder clan finds something to do. Laurie herself assists with stuffing care packages and hosts weekly coffee meetings for military spouses on base.
Her older teenagers help lift heavy crates of food at the farmers market, the 10- and 11-year-olds watch younger children during the morning coffees, and even her 8-year-old enjoys handing out popcorn and drinks to soldiers watching movies on the lawn.
"When you're reaching out to other people, you realize that you have more than you think you do," she said. "So it's not extra time—it's time well spent." - Joseph A. Lee, USO Staff Writer

Hendra outbreak at Bundaberg
- From: The Courier-Mail
- March 19, 2014
QUEENSLAND'S first Hendra case of the year has emerged, with authorities managing an outbreak in Bundaberg.
It is understood a horse on a property about 25km outside of Bundaberg fell ill on Saturday and was put down on Monday.
The animal had a history of respiratory problems.
A notification was last night received by authorities of a positive test for the Hendra virus.
The property is believed to be inhabited and research staff are now carrying out "live contact" investigations to determine whether any people have come into contact with the horse.
Biosecurity Queensland confirmed the fresh case, with the state's Chief Veterinary Officer Dr Rick Symons saying a private veterinarian had euthanased the horse.
"There is one other horse on the property. Tracing and risk assessments are being undertaken on any animals that may have had contact with the infected horse to work out if further testing needs to be done," Dr Symons said.
"The property has been quarantined which means restrictions apply to moving horses and horse materials on and off the property. The quarantine will be in place for at least one month."
He added that the incident was a reminder to other owners to be on the lookout for signs of the virus.
"Vaccination is the single most effective way of reducing the risk of Hendra virus infection in horses. It is recommended that horse owners speak to their veterinarian about vaccinating their horses," Dr Symons said.
"If a horse becomes sick, owners should contact their veterinarian immediately. People in contact with horses need to remember to continue to practice good biosecurity and personal hygiene measures even if a horse is vaccinated against Hendra virus."
Last year, there were seven recorded outbreaks – four of which were in Queensland.Originally published as Hendra outbreak in Queensland

Should marketers be more concerned about Facebook's video metrics faux pas?
Facebook made headlines last week when The Wall Street Journal reported that it had "vastly overestimated average viewing time for video ads on its platform for two years."

Skip to comments.Obama in His Labyrinth
Posted on 02/19/2014 6:51:37 AM PST by managusta
In the shops in Washington that sell political objects, the best-selling item is a small digital clock that counts Obamas remaining hours as president of the United States.
Fifty-seven percent of Americans are unsatisfied with his work as head of the White House. His popularity ratings are comparable to those of George W. Bush in his saddest stages. Has Obama really been such a bad president?
The first black head of state in the history of the United States has had two great difficulties he has been unable to overcome.
The first was the expectations people had about him: a different man, fresh and barely marred by Washingtons political customs. The second and perhaps more serious one has been his inefficiency at negotiating initiatives with Congress.
While President Peña Nieto in Mexico has played judo with his Congress, Obama, in America, has been tainted by practicing karate. Peña has gotten out, while Obama has provoked a continuous train wreck and, ultimately, a serious political paralysis in his country.
After five years with the government, the man from Chicago has not succeeded in passing important reforms in immigration or in gun control, and much less in the polemic Social Security and health care package.
(Excerpt) Read more at watchingamerica.com ...
Dana Perino gave one to Bob Beckel on "The Five" the other day. Kewl"
...ish. Black - ish. He's half white.
So 43% are satisfied?
No wonder these creeps get elected.
Where do the Ukrainians stand on obama?
"Labyrinth" infers a minotaur.
Any guesses?
In other words - he's not been socialist enough for their taste.
He does NOT want to interact with them any more than necessary because he does not want to invite the comparison.
He wants to avoid being seen as the bumbling and inept clown that he really is!
With no script and NO experience, he is at a real disadvantage when speaking with career politicians whose background and education recommend them to their office... Whether or not we agree with what they say or the policies they promote, a face off with any one of them can potentially expose "O" for the poseur he is.
Hey, I have one of those clocks. Had to reset it when he got reelected, though. Unfortunately, it has a picture of him on it. So I keep it behind a bunch of books where I don't have to look at him all the time but I can take it out occasionally and note the progress.
Seems Enrique Berruga Filloy is out of touch with everyone in this country EXCEPT liberal elites... what a stupid article.
While critical, this piece is written by a very left-wing Mexican author who sympathizes with Obama's goals but not his methods.
There might be quite a market for toilets with Obama's smiling face in the target zone.
That way, one could cover his portrait on a daily basis.
The other 43% are the people Jimmy Kimmel finds on the street for his LieWitness News segments. These are people who answer questions about events that haven't even happened yet. But they sound so sure of themselves in their answers.
There, fixed it.
Digital clock ticks off Obamas remaining hours as president.
indeed! you would be hard-pressed to find an American journalist who would write an article like this...
He is black by definition but not Afro-American. Obama Sr. is African and he and his Muslim tribe a curse on the continent of Africa as historically they were slavers who captured and sold Africans into slavery.
Obama will not see the end of his term. I agree with Huckabee on this point. He will be out before 2016.
They don't work.
In 2011 I got one of these that counted down the days until Obama would be gone in 2012.
The clock counted down okay but the poser never went away.
I guess something must be broken inside the clock.
Why don't you just fast forward that sucker.
That has got to strain the neck!
Not if the neck is stiff.
Why don't you just fast forward that sucker.
Gee,Lee, if only that would work in the real world. I looked for the days left in his term this morning and darn, the battery in my Obama Clock is dead. Gonna have to replace and reset.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Navona Rome
Avoid this hotel at all costs!
While in a cental location within walking distance of almost everything, that could not being to make up for the condition of our room, the so-called continental breakfast and the rude staff personnel.
Our room was dirty and had broken furniture and bathroom fixtures. Whe we arrived there was a pair of somebody's dirty sweatsocks balled up in a corner. The bed sagged and we couldn't sleep on it. The 'breakfast' consisted of one hard roll and one cup of coffee or tea. It was terrible. We were so disgusted with the palce that we asked for a refund so we could leave and stay at a more pleasant place. The manager very rudely iinformed us he would not do so and woudl not give us our money back. After a loud argument between my husband and the manager, he flipped us off as we left. It was better to lose our money than stay in the dump. However, after contacting our credit card company and sending them pictures of the condition of the room, our money was comlpletey refunded to us and the Hotel Navona was not paid one cent
Clean, basic - perfect location
Pretty but tired furnishings, very clean. Small bathroom but lovely hot shower that went forever! Staff were helpful, and nice enough - just not big on smiles. Breakfast was ordinary (we snuck in cheese to have on our warm bread rolls in the morning!). The location was perfect - between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. Less than 20 minutes walk to Spanish Steps or Trevi Fountain and 25minutes walk to St Peters and the Colesseum (unless you stop at all the interesting things along the way!). We met other people staying near the train station or the outskirts of Rome for the same price in accomodation that didn't sound nearly so nice - so definately recommend.
A great place to stay while in Rome
We got to book the apartment they also lease out. It is on the west side Of Piazza Navona. I loved it. It was an old Chapel converted to a quaint apartment. Living room with couch and table to eat at and a small Kitchen downstairs and up A small winding stair way is the bedroom and a bathroom. Shower was small. The bed was very comfortable and the place was VERY clean. The street is real small and very quiet, none of the noise that i have heard others complain about. There was a washer in the the apt in case you needed to clean anything. The location is excellent. You can walk to everything in Rome from here if you are in any kind of shape. Like the small child, I cried when I left this place and can not wait to get back there again.
Superb location
We stayed at this hotel in March 2003 and agree that the location is perfect. Breakfast was basic but ok, and as already said, served on long tressle tables which were difficult to get in and out of!We stayed on the top floor (no lift 86 steps) and the ceiling in our room was open beams. I'm sure it was waterproof but glad it wasn't put to the test.Bathroom tiny but adequate. No TV or drink making facilities and room furniture very sparse. But was clean and adequate.At the end of the day we didn't intend spending any time in it so for us the location was the key point.Some of the staff were friendly, others not so.
wondered if this was because there was quite an anti-war feeling in Italy at this time.For the price it was excellent value and I would have no hesitation in returning.
Best location
I stayed at the hotel last week and have to say the location is perfect. We got a room with A/C and it faced into a small courtyard.
The only real complaint we had it that the breakfast is not worth getting up for. It's served from 8-9 only and consists as another poster said of a bun and coffee or tea. But this is a standard Italian breakfast so don't kill yourself looking for another hotel with a buffett.
We walked everywhere from this hotel and it has an abundance of restaurants around it. Just a hint: go in the streets surrounding the Piazza Navona for cheaper meals. The Wine Bar on the same street has good Greek Salads. All things in Rome are at a maximum of a 30 min walk from any direction from the hotel. The airport was 47 Euros when we left (arranged only at 7PM the night before for some strange reason)
Our room, room #1, was spacious, clean, pretty quiet, had its own bathroom, had A/C, and no TV for $125 Euros per night. No TV was actually a good thing to get you out and exploring. When people fiddle around with their keys to get in their room it was a little noisy. The staff we're mostly friendly, gave us a good map and directions and brought us to our room.
But they didn't clean our room until late afternoon so when we came back from sight seeing our room wasn't done yet. We ran out of TP twice (The cleaners actually took our rolls once!) and towels once.

One last thing, the street that this hotel is on is not on any map and the hotel sign is only visible if you stand directly in front of the hotel. So go into the Piazza Navona, go to the south end toy store and look around the corner to the Wine Bar restaurant. It's on that street about 50 feet away.
The Navona was like heaven
I can't believe that the negative reviewers stayed at the same hotel that I did in April, 2003. An almost opulent room, relatively inexpensive compared to other hotels, gorgeous furnishings, Bulgari bath products, an incredible bathroom. everything seemed new and very high quality. yes, there was a tv, and everything else you could ask for. the staff was friendly and helpful with my negligible Italian. Of course, the location is the BEST. I would love to go back.
I would not stay here again.
I would not stay here again - the hotel was booked by a friend living in Rome. But the location, near Piazza Navona, is EXCELLENT. I would say it's the best place to stay. All the tourist attractions are within walking distance and there are so many cafes and restaurants for dinner in the evening. Shops are open late too. Our family room at the hotel had no air conditioning - we stayed in October so it wasn't a problem. But I would not like to stay in Rome in the summer with no a/c. Room had no coffee/tea-making facilities and no TV which the children missed. But the room was clean. Breakfast is very basic - roll and coffee - and you have to sit with everybody else on long tables. Reminded me of school dinners! Staff not helpful - one incident springs to mind. We had booked a taxi to take us back to the airport for 12.30. We arrived back at the hotel at 12.15 where one of the staff started an argument with us accusing us of being late and making the taxi driver wait as he had arrived early. We were not impressed.
Horrible Service/Great Location
Stayed from 4/1/03-4/3/03The main problem with this Hotel is the visible contempt for the guests that stay here, like an unwanted visiting relative. When they did answer questions the answers were often misinformed and inaccurate. The breakfast is instant coffee and a role with the unfriendly hour of only served from 8-9 am. The location is perfect, but expect nothing and you won't be unhappy.
I stayed here for almost 2 weeks in March and loved it all. My room was small but opened up to a little (dirty) courtyard that bordered a church that had choir rehearsal in the afternoons.
The free continental breakfast was a perfect start to the day, and the hotel has a terrific location. EVERYTHING was in walking distance from the hotel, assuming you don't mind walking. Otherwise there was a bus stop very close by.
The staff spoke english and was very helpful to us. The place was clean and off the main street, and almost literally in the backyard of the pantheon.
Overall it was the perfect place to stay in on of the most perfect places in europe.
rooms were clean and beds were fine. staff a bit indifferent. i think you have to ask for one of the more atmospheric rooms otherwise you wind up in the pretty standard redo. price however is quite good and you're really paying just to be near navona.

Nope, out came the bleach, the brush and various accoutrements to scrub up the marble and disappoint the newcomers.

Anyway, first we headed to San Carlino (al Quirinale) which was not even a 100 meter walk from our apartment. Dee studied this church in her architectural history course, and was dying to see it.

As past SAS chair for Class Board 2013, the reason why I'm running again is simple: I love Class Board. I love being able to give back to my class and work with my fellow board members on new ideas. As rising seniors, this upcoming year is the biggest one yet. Three years have flown by, and this year it's our time to walk down Locust on Hey Day. It's our time to try and get our names engraved on the plaque at Smoke's during Feb Club. It's our time to give to the school that has already given us so much through Seniors for The Penn Fund. I want to be an integral part of that, and I believe I can help make these events better than ever before. Vote Beryl for Class Board 2013 SAS Chair!

Imperial College London is teaming up with information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider Huawei to invest in and open a data science lab to be dubbed the Imperial College - Huawei Data Science Innovation Laboratory. Both the ICT firm and the college say the new lab will bring Imperial's faculty and researchers from Huawei together to develop new applications using data science research in areas including healthcare.
According to Imperial, the Imperial College - Huawei Data Science Innovation Laboratory represents the first major corporate partnership within its new Data Science Institute, the aim of which is to cultivate collaborations between Imperial's experts and research partners to develop big data technologies. Imperial and Huawei signed a memorandum of understanding back in July where they both agreed to look for a chance to team up; the new lab is a product of that memorandum.
Per the collaboration, Huawei will invest in equipment including cloud-computing servers, a research and innovation fund; it will also spring for the new lab's operational costs.
"By bringing its experts together with our engineers we believe we can create new products and services that will harness the huge potential of big data," said William Xu, CEO of Huawei Enterprise Business Group, in a statement. "This collaboration with Imperial also bolsters the wider partnership program we have with British universities, which includes working with other institutions around the U.K. on the 5G technologies that will revolutionize how we communicate in the future."

The Notorious B.I.G. (Bad Boy/Arista)
When it comes to enjoying chart success, a little detail like death needn't matter. The Notorious B.I.G. (né Christopher Wallace), who was killed in a 1997 drive-by shooting, left behind a trove of unreleased material, including outtakes, demos and other works in progress that might or might not have one day become actual songs. Biggie's former producer (and friend) Sean "Puffy" Combs has assembled those snippets and, with his team of producers, built instrumental tracks around the late rapper's rhymes; on 4 of these 18 tracks, Combs and crew have taken songs that had been previously released and simply constructed new beats to encase them. With a parade of big name rappers onboard, including Lil' Kim, Snoop Dogg and Eminem, we have the odd sense that Biggie has been reduced to a guest on his own CD. Even the participation of his mother and his widow, singer Faith Evans, as executive producers can't diminish the somewhat exploitative and opportunistic nature of this album.

The Nuzlocke Challenge
View Single Post
February 9th, 2013 (6:56 PM).

Started a Nuzlocke in Sapphire last night.
The official stuff:
Username: Arlo
Game: Sapphire
Optional rules: Random starter, duplicates don't count, game starts when I get pokeballs, nickname everything... that's probably about it.
There are few things in games I love more than the opening of RSE. There's just something about riding in the back of that truck, then stopping, then the door opens and the light shines in and you get out and the music starts and.... it's just awesome.
Looked at the movers, set the clock, went to the lab, went back out, found out someone was in trouble on the route north of town and saw the Prof. Opened the briefcase, then flipped three coins for odd one out to decide the starter, and got Mudkip. A female. Handily won, then went back to the lab and talked to the prof and got the Mudkip and named her Hazel. Then it was off to meet May.
Almost made it to her without an encounter, but ran into a Zigzagoon in the last patch of grass. Beat it and didn't take much damage in return, so went ahead and fought her right then, and won easily, in three turns with a crit on the second. Then it was back to the lab to get the Pokedex and some pokeballs, then back out to Route 101, this time armed with Pokeballs. Scared up and caught a female Zigzagoon with Pickup, and named her Sylvia. Ground her up to level 6 (to match Hazel), then it was on to Route 103. Found and caught a female Poochyena and named her Brenda, then ground her up to level 6 as well. Then it was on to Route 102. Where, of all things, I turned up a female Ralts.
I can remember times when I spent hours on Route 102 trying to catch a female Ralts, and this time, unlikely as it was, it was the first thing I found. And the really strange part is that it's not even really what I wanted. Sure - I love Gardevoir - it's easily my favorite Hoenn pokemon, and I don't think I've ever played through the region without one. But that's the point - this is a Nuzlocke. I actually wanted to catch something I haven't used as much, like maybe a Lotad. But anyway - caught a female Ralts and named her Vanessa. Then it was on to Petalburg City. Did the rounds, met Dad, met Wally, watched as he caught his own Ralts, then it was on to Route 104. Found and caught a male Wurmple and named him Irv. Spent some time grinding around there and got everyone up to about level 7 (and evolved Irv to Cascoon), then it was off to Petalburg Woods. Found and caught a male Shroomish and named him Clyde, then fought all the trainers and ground everyone up to about level 9 and went on to Rustboro City. Did the rounds there, then put Clyde (with the newly learned Bullet Seed TM) in the lead and went to Roxanne's gym. Clyde handled the first trainer's first Geodude, then Hazel came in on the second and took it down with a few Mud Slaps. She leveled up after that fight and picked up Water Gun, with which she one-shotted the last Geodude. And the next trainer's only one. Then she took down Roxanne's Geodude and Clyde switched in and whittled down the Nosepass with a combination of Leech Seed and Bullet Seed. Left the gym and we're currently saved right outside the door, ready to work my way back toward Oldale and put that nifty Cut thing to use for a bit before heading out for the next route and.... whatever's going on with that jumpy Devon guy....
Hazel the Mudkip lvl 11
Clyde the Shroomish lvl 11
Brenda the Poochyena lvl 9
Sylvia the Zigzagoon lvl 9
Irv the Cascoon lvl 9
Vanessa the Ralts lvl 10

Crieff Hydro Hotel is home to a selection of room types. All standard rooms at Crieff Hydro have en-suite bathrooms and the features that you would expect from a 4 star hotel in Perthshire. The bedrooms are either Bath with shower over or walk in shower.
For something a little special guests can choose to upgrade to the following options:
Executive Room
Located in the main hotel – or the boutique-style Leigh Building a stone's throw away – these rooms sleep two people. There's a double bed (or twin beds), presented in a fresh, contemporary décor. The en-suite bathroom is complete with all the luxury potions you'll need. What more? There's a flat screen TV, Scotsman newspaper each morning, mini fridge and bottled water. There's also an emergency ration of Scottish sweets by Mrs Bridges – just in case – complete with Brewhaha tea, coffee and Edinburgh shortbread
Executive studios
These offer something a little different. The accommodation is split over two levels - the ground floor is a spacious living area which converts to a comfy bedroom. Upstairs is the family bathroom and the master bedroom. The studios are a very short walk from the main hotel - and each studio has its own parking space. They even have space for your four-legged best friend so if you want to holiday with your dog let us know.
Signature Rooms
What makes them so special? There's some kind of interior design magic at work here - these rooms are seriously large, but still manage to feel incredibly cosy and welcoming. Of course, there's an inviting seating area, and the views are almost too good to spoil by drawing the sumptuous curtains. And don't get us started on the terrific bathrooms.
Family Rooms
The family rooms at Creiff Hydro can accommodate four, five or six poeple and they've called them family, family plus and family max rooms to reflect this.
They are typically arranged around a small entrance corridor with a separate bedroom for the adults, and another room with up to three beds for the children. The other consists of two full-sized rooms with an interconnecting door. (Ideal if you have teenagers).
Alternatively, they can be adjoining rooms which have two children's beds in a separate (although not entirely separated) alcove space. Luxury family accommodation in the Scottish Highlands doesn't mean cramming more beds into a double room -not at Crieff Hydro.
So if you're looking for luxury accommodation in the Scottish Highlands for the whole family, you'll find it here.
Bar & Restaurant
Crieff Hydro has an emphasis on choice and has a wide range of dining options throughout the resort.
The Brasserie
Lively, informal and buzzing. You may be in the heart of the country but there's nothing sleepy about the food, cocktails and ambience. The restaurant is family friendly and perfect for a more relaxed evening.
The Meikle
Refined and tranquil. The formal restaurant and piano bar offer grand settings ideal for Sunday lunch, afternoon tea or to dress up for a special occasion and savour the four course table d'hote dinner menu.
Piccolo Brasserie
Big on pizzas, pasta and great value, Piccolo Brasserie is a bustling slice of Italy, at the Crieff Hydro. The open plan kitchen is built around Big Nonna – the not-so-little secret behind the perfectly stonebaked pizzas. But the pizzaiolo is the real star. He knows how to get the best from the speciality ingredients that are shipped straight from the mother country – and the one's that arrive bristlingly fresh from Scotland's larder.
Open from 5pm until 10pm.
The Clubhouse
Great views and wholesome food. Set high in the resorts 900 acre estate the family friendly licensed clubhouse offers light snacks and bar meals as well as our delicious Orkney ice creams.
The Hub - Chill out Cafe.
The ideal venue to enjoy sporting events, light snacks and chilled drinks. Includes a healthy range of tasty options including soups, toasted bagels, Panini's, and locally sourced dairy ice cream!
Music and sport play a big part in a day at The Hub - you can catch the latest music videos on the big screen, or see the big game in a family-friendly setting. Of course, we're fully licensed too - so you can enjoy a cold beer or glass of wine while you're soaking up the action
The Winter Garden
This cafe offers a grand setting to enjoy your morning paper, a light lunch or afternoon tea (and great views) with friends or family. Also a perfect spot to catch your breath between dances in the Ballroom!
The Crieff Hydro hotel has the most extensive leisure facilities of any resort in Scotland.
Lagoon Leisure Club
The Lagoon leisure club has a 20m indoor heated swimming pool, children's pool, sauna, steam room and spa bath. Every day there is a dedicated children's hour.
