it's ok. the controls are pretty good, but like Oney said below me, the voice acting is terrible. sounds like a toddler talking
Interesting concept
but i think i speak for everyone when i say the voice acting killed that. had to turn it off it was so annoying.
Nice game! LOL voice xD
I dont care if this game is unoriginal, WE ALL dont care, the main objective of make a game, is make it COOL, AMAZING, dont caring if is a copy or not YOU TROLLS
Christ really?
You couldn't even have given the character a different colored jumper than the one from portal? 4 stars for poor originality.
This platformer has not only shifted too fast, but the controls are not user friendly either. Those two facts are what make great games, and unfortunately those were absent, not to mention a somewhat lack of originality.
P.S. : If you find anyone with that "Still Alive" medal, please mention it and congratulate him.

Tax considerations (and advantages) for small businesses
- 9/2/2015
Are you thinking of launching your own business? Approximately 800,000
new businesses open each year, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics
data. When these young companies get started, it's critical for their
owners to understand the many rules and regulations that apply to them.
Small business owners beware: Not reporting income paid to vendors can be costly
- 8/4/2015
If you are a small-business owner, know that you, too, must send 1099s
to nonemployees paid in the course of doing business. The Minnesota
Society of CPAs (MNCPA) warns that many small-business owners do not
understand the requirements for issuing 1099s, and they can receive
hefty fines and costly IRS audits if not complied with properly.
Business or hobby? Why the difference matters
- 7/20/2015
Were you aware that there are tax implications when you earn money from a
hobby? If not, or if you're unsure of all the rules, the Minnesota
Society of CPAs (MNCPA) offers these insights on why the distinctions
between hobbies and businesses matter and what you need to know if your
hobby becomes a business.
Answers to tax questions for the self-employed

take the plunge.
Don't guess when it comes to worker classifications
- 11/30/2014
Classifying workers as employees or independent contractors may seem intuitive, but the reality can be much murkier. The MNCPA is shedding light on this subject
to ensure business owners comply with IRS regulations.
Health care reform and your small business
- 9/30/2014
What has the Affordable Care Act meant to your business so far? When it

operations. Now that important provisions of the law have been in force
for a while, the Minnesota Society of CPAs offers a review of some of
the highlights and some timely advice.

To put your tablet in Ramp Position, simply just lay your device on top of the Stump. Your device will appear to be floating on top of the table at just the perfect angle. Lay it down horizontally and you have the perfect "keyboard" position for typing, emailing, or web surfing. Place your device in portrait mode and you can play a friendly game of "Words with Friends." Adjust the angle by resting the bottom of the tablet closer or farther from the Stump.
To use your device in Lean Position, use the TOP step of the Stump. This holds the tablet in a slightly leaning position, perfect for watching a video or reading a book.
Use the Upright Position by sliding your device into the BOTTOM step of the Stump. This will hold the tablet in a position for gaming, surfing, and charging.
Your device always has a home with the Stump, storing it and keeping it off hard surfaces that tend to scratch the back of your device.
Specs The Stump is 3.5 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches tall, lending itself to true portability. It is weighted for stability, but still at just 8.5 ounces offers the perfect size and shape for grab-and-go use. The durable rubber-like design both gently cradles your device without abrasion, and "grips" the table surface for a nonslip experience. The Stump is made in the U.S.A.
Not only is the Stump compatible with iPads, but also other tablets that are up to .5 inches in thickness. It is perfect for iPhones, and various other smart phones. And it acts as an extra set of hands with your eReader, holding your Kindle or Nook for a comfortable reading experience. Essentially, if your device is .5 inches thick or less (at entry point), the Stump is the stand for you.
The minimalist design of the Stump makes it an ideal home base for all of your portable electronic devices. Whether your device is actively storing, charging, synching, or simply waiting for it?s next use, the Stump offers a stable home and a clean presentation. And sure, it is highly portable- but it is also low profile, so you can keep multiple Stumps throughout your living environment: at your desk, on the kitchen counter, on your nightstand, in your car- practically anywhere.

In Brief: U.S. consumer confidence at highest point since August
Consumer confidence reaches recent high
WASHINGTON -- U.S. consumer confidence has reached its highest point since August on the strength of a brighter view of the job market and other business conditions.
The Conference Board, a business research group, says its consumer confidence index rose to 80.7 this month from a December reading of 77.5. It was the second consecutive strong gain.
Conference Board economist Lynn Franco notes that consumers' assessment of economic conditions continues to improve. She says the rising expectations suggest that the economy is poised to pick up momentum in the months ahead.
Farm bill deal would cut food stamps
WASHINGTON -- A House plan to make major cuts to food stamps would be scaled back under a bipartisan agreement on a massive farm bill, a near end to a more than two-year fight that has threatened to hurt rural lawmakers in an election year.
The measure announced by the House and Senate Agriculture committees preserves food stamp benefits for most Americans who receive them and continues generous subsidies for farmers.
The House could vote on the bill as soon as today.
Google Glass gets prescription frames
NEW YORK -- Google is adding prescription frames and new styles of detachable sunglasses to its computerized, Internet-connected Glass goggles.
The move comes as Google Inc. prepares to make Glass available to the general population this year. Currently, it's available to a few thousand people who are testing and creating apps for it.
Glass, which costs $1,500, lets users surf the Web, ask for directions, and take photos or videos.
On Tuesday, Google plans to make four styles of prescription frames and two new types of shades available to its "explorers" -- the people who are trying out Glass. The frames, which attach to the existing Google Glass, will cost $225 and the shades, $150. Users can take the frames to their vision-care provider for prescription lenses.

You know the songs...The ones that can possibly blow all the other ones out of the water in the game in which it appears in.
I'm sure you've been there. You're playing a game, and suddenly, you hear a track so awesome that any other track in the game(or almost any) end up sounding like...sorta okay...even if they're good. Okay maybe they're still even awesome but next to That Damn Song...they may seem lesser. It's like, they may still be titans, but That Damn Song is an even bigger and badder titan.
Sometimes these songs come early in the game, and you wait the entire game to hear one just as good, and you don't. Sometimes they come all the way at the end. Sometimes they're jammed in the middle.
These are some classics; the ones that get remixed and covered left and right.(Well, sometimes.)
Again, this isn't necessarily a list of 'my favorite game music' or 'the top 10 anything.' These are songs that can end up just standing out against the rest of the game's music even IF the rest of the music is ear bleedingly awesome.
To start off things, there is an awesome game that I love that is called ActRaiser.
ActRaiser is an old SNES game, that was part action-sidescroller, part World Sim, where you basically play a god and populate your cities.
This game had pretty great music all in all.
But the one piece that stands out so far in my head...the very first stage. Fillmore.
This stages music was so awesome, I was just waiting and waiting to hear a song that could beat it. While I found one that came close(the famous Kasandora theme), the theme for Fillmore was just so goddamn awesome it just couldn't be topped after that. I admit to being a little bit disappointed even that I didn't hear Fillmore's theme again after that. Kasandora's legendary 'We Invented Music for this Dead Guy' scene, again, was gorgeous, but it's like...pretend Fillmore is Iron Maiden for a second.
Bruce Dickinson is twenty times manlier than your whole band, even when he wears spandex.
Okay, so Fillmore is like Iron Maiden at a concert. The rest of the songs are a bunch of bands that have to go on *after* them. They're good! Some are even great, but they will just get overshadowed by the fact they just went on AFTER Iron Goddamn Maiden. Except for Kasandora, which actually gets remembered(arguably, I think it's remembered as much for the song as it is for the reason the song was actually the people inventing MUSIC to pay tribute to their fallen companion. If not for that story point, I think the Kasandora theme may have had less impact.)
Next up, we have a game that ate a lot of my quarters as a kid, until I got good enough at it that it *didn't* eat a lot of my quarters, all to hear one song.
Golden Axe. A fun ass game with 3 different playables(Ax=Battler for the win, and no, I don't know why to this day why they put an equal sign there), that they attempted to remake recently but absolutely and terribly murderized it so badly in the form of Beast Rider that they should be banned from ever touching anything with the name Golden Axe, or the words Golden or Axe, or even anything with the letters that make up the words Golden Axe.
Ahem, anyway.
So there's some pretty epic music in the game. Death Adder's music is mighty awesome sounding, in fact. Great endboss music. In fact, that might have been in here...
...If not for Sutakora, Sassa!
A.K. A. the glorious goddamn ending theme to Golden Axe, which was so damn awesome I seriously just learned to beat the game quickly just to hear this theme. It's just so...Happy and Victorious in every way. And you got to watch all the characters jump out and chase the kids in the arcade, only to be followed by the little slow dwarf at the end.
Then the music stopped and you realized to hear it again you needed to beat the game again, because the game wasn't out for home systems yet and there was no Internet.
No wonder why those arcades got so much of my money. Well, also Playchoice-10 and Gauntlet can be blamed for that as well.
Next up!
So, there's a game on the NES called Ninja Gaiden. You may have heard of it. If you're like me, you now have some gray hair due to it. (I'm pretty sure I mention Ninja Gaiden in every blog of mine somehow. It's a...long, stressy relationship I have with the game.)
For one, the game is balls hard so it probably takes you forever to even get to the point where you hear the song, even though the early stages are like-the 'forgiving' ones.
You plow through more, and watch the cool cutscenes, and enjoy some *very* awesome music. Really, the music in the first Ninja Gaiden is simply wonderful.
Then you get to a cutscene, with Ryu looking like a badass looking at the big tower castle thingy. I never saw anything like this in 8 bit! And then, finally, your ears are treated with the legendary...
Yes, the Mine Run. Better known as: Holy F*** this is some of the coolest music I ever heard on the NES. As awesome as the other music was in the game, this just completely dusts it. On TOP of this, it's actually played as the *final ending theme*. It's like the developers actually KNEW that 'well, crap, guys, we can't top this one, just throw it into the end too.'
There was a sound test option in the game and I remember I listened the hell out of this song it was just so awesome. Yes, there are MANY awesome NG1 pieces. Yes, that damn sad ending theme was pretty amazing as well as even the Stage 1 theme.
But in terms of Ninja Gaiden, nothing beats the Mine Run. It matched it perfectly, it actually had the rhythm of his running and everything. Of course, once 4-2 ended, the music did as well so sitting there at the end before you climb up the ladder was always an option, since your time reset on the next stage. Even if it DIDN'T, a death would be worth it just to let that theme play.
Sorry, Other Awesome Music of NG1, the Mine Run just sorta owned you.
Staying in the eight bit days...
Double Dragon 2 enters the picture. While IMHO it's not quite as awesome as the original Double Dragon(which had a classic theme in it's own right), the NES version of this game was pretty fun.
It's music was decent overall; it had a particularly good theme on the 4th stage I remember, and some other pieces which were well done and fitting.
Now, if you played the game on the highest difficulty level, you got to fight the Super Secret Endboss and get the real ending finally!
For the endboss fight? You get treated to THIS little theme:
Basically, what's sometimes known as the Shadow Warrior Theme ended up just making the entire journey worth it as being one of the most awesome pieces of old-time end boss music ever. I highly suggest checking out some of the remixes that exist of this one, as it's well, well worth it.
Alrighty. Since we're in 8 bit land, I might as well mention this piece, even though I don't think I even have to, but I know if I don't, I'll get people asking me 'why didn't you mention this piece.'
Megaman 2.
Yeah, I think that's all I have to say, and you already know what this is about. Yes, MM2 had an amazing soundtrack. And yes, a piece of music in a Megaman game has *yet* to beat this:
The absolutely legendary Dr. Wily, Stage 1 theme. I mean, this piece of music is so legendary it basically overshadows any piece of music in a Megaman game, like, Ever. They basically wrote what is the 9th Symphony of Action Game Music with this piece. Let alone it overshadowing a Megaman game, it's hard to find a piece of game music that is this memorable; I mean the first time I ever heard this theme, I was like 'holy crap.'
Yeah, I don't think that a Megaman game can or will ever see a theme that can top this one. It's probably spawned more remixes than most videogame music put together. It had the same sense of 'urgency' that the Mine Run had in that you just wanted to run right, at a high speed, and take down everything in your way. The music itself just made you want to...keep moving.
So then, you throw Wizards and Warriors into your NES and push Power. It blinks, so you take it out, give it the ol' Nintendo Blow, and shove it back in a few times until you find the sweet spot. You press power again, and are greeted with a flashing screen, in which whacking the NES once at the top and pushing it back down fixes. FINALLY, you're greeted with this:
And it's freaking-amazing. It's about 35 seconds of pure musical beauty. Then it stops, and it doesn't repeat. So you risk resetting the NES again to hear it again.
OR you can plow through the game with such items like the Feather of Feather Fall or the Dagger of Throwing or the Helm of Helmeting or whatever. (Yeah, you know what, Nintendo Power? You never posted my picture I took of me beating that game on zero continues and maxing out my score back when I was 12. Do you have any idea what I WENT THROUGH for that??)
But you beat the game...and you get to hear the song AGAIN! for the same 35 seconds. And then it stops. And it's easily the best damn song in that game. By far. The rest of the music ranged from 'kinda dull' to 'pretty cool', but this opening/ending theme was utterly haunting and beautiful. I remember first hearing it and just wanting to hear it again and again.
I will also drop an honorable mention for Ironsword's intro as well. Something about this series just made &/!%# awesome intros. Ironsword's intro song managed to once again blow the pants off of anything else in the game(okay, Ironsword wasn't the...best...)
I'm actually going to divide this blog up into two parts. There's quite a few more games I'd like to cover in it, and I'm trying to let the want to ramble on for hours at a time be somewhat stifled to make these damn things more readable in one sitting.
Part 2: A song that plays in a cave and a few others, including what may be my favorite piece of game music that was ever written.

Halloween is all about leaving yourself behind and assuming another persona for the day. Some turn to ghoulish goblins and fiendish freaks, but not us. While we love all of the food-inspired costumes we've come across, our favorite thing to be every year is someone from the world of food.It is a tradition around these parts to make hauntingly disturbing masks of our favorite food celebrities, and icons like Mario Batali, Emeril, and Anthony Bourdain have been burned into our brains as some of the scariest Halloween costumes to date.
Click here to see the 13 Freaky Food-Celebrity Masks (Slideshow)
This year we bring you a nice blend of notable restaurateurs and bigwig food celebrities, ranging from master chef Nobu Matsuhisa to the beautiful Giada De Laurentiis (NOTE: hollowing out her eyes is chilling) for an array of food-world favorites.
Try one on! Just click on any of the 13 faces in our slideshow for a full face-sized mask you can print out. Cut along the dotted line, tape a string to either side of the back, or mount it to a wooden kitchen spoon to hold it in front of your face. Whatever you do, just make sure you're ready to freak your friends and family out with these scary food celebrity masks!
Wolfgang Puck Zee Austrians are taking over, ja? Sorry, we had to. The surprisingly bubbly demeanor of this Austrian born entrepreneur chef is sort of disarming in and of itself. Pair that overzealous personality with blank eyes and a slight gap tooth and you'll be scaring all the neighborhood kids in no time.
Michael Symon One of the newly dubbed Iron Chefs to hit the scene full force, Michael Symon cooks with tons of creativity and passion. The bald, loveable biker-bro will turn into the creepiest cue ball with the help of this scary Halloween mask.
Nobu MatsuhisaThe mild-mannered Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa is famous for his amazing fusion food and signature dishes developed over several decades — not for the hollowed, zombie-eyed monster we turned him into. The mask itself may be only slightly scary, so be sure to accessorize your costume with some fitting, horrific extras like a bloody chef's outfit and chopsticks.
Geoffrey Zakarian Behind those thick-framed glasses and tasty dishes lurks the a soulless chef willing to chop unworthy peon chefs in his wake. OK, so it isn't that intense, but the Chopped judge would make a great play-on-words costume this year!
Curtis Stone The truth is, it is impossible to call Curtis Stone anything even close to scary. We just assumed that with his spiky blonde hair, chiseled jaw, and perfect eyes, every guy would want to be him for Halloween. Plus, we kind of just wanted an excuse to sit and stare at his face while editing the photo.
Alton Brown Bust out your best bow tie and get ready to get technical. Our Alton Brown mask is perfect for a mad scientist chef costume. Just think: This snazzy mask atop a lab coat/apron ensemble will make the most hilarious, slightly disturbing costume to date.
Alex Guarnaschelli Since her smile never goes above a smirk, we thought she would be the perfect food celebrity to haunt your Halloween. If you are trying to pull this off as a real costume, simply contain all of your excitement.
Giada De Laurentiis Don't get us wrong, Giada's a total babe and a whiz in the kitchen. However, that Cheshire cat grin paired with hollowed-out eyes gives us the total creeps!
Anne Burrell Although we are pretty sure that the mask speaks for itself, we don't mind explaining our final choice. OK, we don't have much to say. It's the hair — the wild, untamed mane that makes us all giggle profusely!
To see the rest of the 2013 Halloween Masks, check out our slideshow!

My name is Eva and I was born in the late 1990's I am the only Eva in my whole school and honestly love my name! I was named after my grandmother Eva which has always made my name special to me. Sometimes people get my name confused with Ava for some reason but to tell you the truth it doesn't really bother me. I think the trendiness of my name skipped my generation. Also I have never in my entire life had anyone call me Evie. The only nickname that I remember is I got called E sometimes when I was little. Hope this helps

Evie, usually pronounced that way, is a top 10 name in the UK, and I'm not a fan of it as a given name at all. I might use it as an occasional nickname but I wouldn't want people thinking her name is Evie, as I find Eva much more classier and nicer.

I want to love Eva I really do but for some reason I can't. I think it may be the whole Eva Longoria association. I think I prefer Ava to Eva. With that being said, I don't think it's trendy at all. It's a very classic name that will age very well. I also don't think you'll have to worry about the nn Evie. Eva is such a short name already, there is no need to shorten it even more. Maybe she will acquire a nn that doesn't have anything to do with her name. Good luck.

Drugmaker Shire P.L.C. said Monday that it would pay $4.2 billion for Exton-based ViroPharma Inc.
Shire is headquartered in Ireland, but its leadership and two-thirds of its employees work in the United States, including 1,500 employees and contractors in Tredyffrin Township.
The $4.2 billion translates to $50 per share, a 27 percent premium to ViroPharma's closing share price Friday. Shire closed Monday up 93 cents at $135.33, while ViroPharma rose $10.04 to close at $49.42.
ViroPharma had been hiring, and some staff might be asked to join Shire, but the sale will also mean layoffs. Shire's chief financial officer, Graham Hetherington, said some of the expected $150 million in annual cost savings might kick in soon after the sale is finalized in late 2013 or early 2014. Representatives of each company declined to specify planned job cuts.

Each student will received a $1,000 to use toward college expenses in environmental studies. Students were selected based upon their academic achievement and community service. Awards will be presented by Governor Terry Branstad on March 31 at the State Capitol.
"It is critical that we encourage and support the youth of our State to better understand and to provide a long-term commitment to our environment, the beauty of our natural resources and countryside, and their importance in our lives in building pride and respect," said Gerry Schnepf, Keep Iowa Beautiful executive director.
In 2007, family and friends of Robert (Bob) Byers established a scholarship fund in his memory through Keep Iowa Beautiful, a nonprofit organization committed to preventing litter and promoting community enhancement across the state. Through Bob's leadership, Keep Iowa Beautiful's "Litter-Free School Campus" program was initiated in northwest Iowa in 2003.
"My dad recognized from the beginning that Keep Iowa Beautiful serves as a key resource for educating youth on the importance of respect for the community and our environment," said Jay Byers, son of Bob Byers.

Range DescriptionThis species occurs in Australia where it is present in along to coast from Victoria to south-east Queensland, and near Nildottie on the River Murray in South Australia (Duncan et al. 1999). It is found in the Kimberley of Western Australia (A. Burbidge pers. comm.). Populations previously identified as Myotis moluccarum (or called M. adversus) in Australia, and at least one of the records from New Guinea, have been shown to be M. macropus (Cooper et al. 2001). Given the disjunct range with M. moluccarum on islands west of New Guinea, it is possible that the Myotis populations in eastern New Guinea, and eastwards in the Melanesian islands may also all be M. macropus (or one or more other species). This species is known from sea level to 840 m, but most records below 300 m in Victoria at least (L. Lumsden pers. comm.).

Albany police officials confirm that the driver, 55-year-old Mabel McDonald was taken to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital for observation. A five-year-old passenger was also transported to Phoebe with a busted lip.
Officers say McDonald's vehicle left the road for some unknown reason. The vehicle went down an embankment, came up and went through a yard before striking a house.
McDonald was charged with failure to maintain a lane.
There were an unknown amount of people in the house at the time of the accident but no injuries were reported.
A car ran into a house on the 2300 block of Dominion Ct. Sunday morning.
According to Lieutenant Lorenzo Hall with the Albany Fire Department, a woman and two children were in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
Lt. Hall says that AFD helped assist the woman out of the vehicle, and she seemed disoriented.
The woman was taken by EMS to the hospital. EMS also transported one child with a busted lip to the hospital for observation.
Battalion Chief Matthew Jefferson says the woman was believed to have a medical condition.

'My Big Redneck Vacation' amd 'Guntucky' to Premiere Saturday, January 26 on CMT
via press release:
Series Premiere Back-to-Back Beginning Saturday, January 26 at 9p ET/PT
NASHVILLE – December 12, 2012 – CMT is celebrating a new year with big premieres beginning Saturday, January 26 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT when season three of MY BIG REDNECK VACATION debuts, followed by the series premiere of GUNTUCKY at 10:00 p.m., ET/PT.
The Clampets have wreaked havoc on the Hamptons, befriended the British and now they're traveling across the United States to spread some all-American, redneck love in this all-new season of MY BIG REDNECK VACATION. Tom Arnold returns as host of the hit series, following the family on their cross-country road trip as they journey to new places including Miami's South Beach, Washington, D.C., Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, a dude ranch in Colorado, Area 51 in Nevada, a Native American Indian reservation in the Grand Canyon and more. The family explores new cultures and values throughout the 13-episode season, leaving their redneck stamp on each postcard destination along the way. New episodes of MY BIG REDNECK VACATION will premiere weekly at 9:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m., ET/PT.
The new 10-episode series GUNTUCKY follows the three generations of the Sumner family who run Knob Creek Gun Range, their family owned business in Knob Creek, Ky. At Knob Creek Gun Range, it's up to the Sumner family to keep things running smoothly as customers use, try out, purchase and sell weapons across a broad spectrum of firearms – from cannons to machine guns. The family will also create shooting scenarios for their guests, hunting down rare and hard to find firearms for anything from a Civil War reenactment to a movie-style mobster scene. Things get crazy when customers get to blow up whatever they can physically bring to the range. Two new half-hour episodes of GUNTUCKY will premiere weekly at 10:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., ET/PT.
MY BIG REDNECK VACATION is produced by Pink Sneakers. Kimberly Belcher Cowin, John Ehrhard, Lewis Bogach (CMT) and Jayson Dinsmore (CMT) serve as executive producers.
GUNTUCKY is produced by Leftfield Pictures, with Brent Montgomery, David George and Shawn Witt serving as executive producers for Leftfield Pictures along with Evan Stone and Adam Fox. Lewis Bogach and Jayson Dinsmore serve as Executive Producers for CMT.

In a typical two-hour basketball practice, Lenape spends a good 25 minutes on offense.
OK, maybe 20 minutes.
Lenape senior Avery Brown thinks his team devotes 80 percent of its practice time to defense. Junior Sawyer Hand thinks that's a low estimate.
"That's our whole game," Hand said.
Hand, a scrappy, 5-foot-9 guard, ended the week with 10 points and seven stitches. At Lenape, that's almost a double-double.
"I just congratulated him on the week he had," Lenape coach Chuck Guittar said of Hand, who scored two points but still was a major factor in the Indians' 47-31 victory over Shawnee on Thursday night in a battle of school-district rivals and Top 10 teams.

TravelPod Member ReviewsDoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London - Marble Arch
Friendly staff and clean environment. Very close to Oxford Street for great shopping. Love the location and the hot chocolate cookie they gave us when we arrived! The only thing is the room is very small, with not much room space if you have more than 3 luggages.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London - Marble Arch
Feel at home
The staff at this hotel shine. Sardia, at the front desk, is just one of the many extremely helpful and courteous personnel. The room was ample, quiet and well maintained daily. The bathroom tub and fixtures were great. The location is remarkable. For this price it is a standout!
Great hotel, I will come back for sure!!!
I've stayed 6 nights at the mostyn hotel in October 2004 with my friend, the hotel was very nice, the room was very cozy (not small).
It was so close to the oxford street (just about 1 minute of walking).
The service at the front desk was very good and also the maintenance workers (especially Ray who was very nice and friendly).
I didn't like the english breakfast so much, something was missing there and also the hall was too small for all the hotel guests.
London is the best city in the world!!!
Small rooms but great location - and don't forget Deya!
Stayed at Mostyn for 8 nights, in September of 2004.
The Mostyn Hotel has rooms on the old side, but recently remodeled and nicely lit common areas. If you're familiar with London, you will know about the rooms that are quite small, but that's just life over there. I also found that the phone lines had too much noise to allow any computer modem calls (Internet cafes are everywhere and cheaper anyway).
Front desk staff is helpful, although the bell folks seem to be preoccupied with their other plans and activities. I had a few issues with multiple reservations, etc., and the front desk was always helpful. BestWestern sometimes has amazing Internet rates.
There is a pretty good breakfast buffet, and for the location right near Oxford Street and Selfridge's (food and department store), it is hard to beat. Selfridge's has plenty of sandwiches and ready-made foodstuffs that are reasonable, just 100 feet away or so.
The Marble Arch metro (tube) stop is also very close (2 minutes' walk). This arch is one of the entrances to Hyde Park, which makes for great walking if the weather permits.
The main attraction, though, is Deya, the new Indian restaurant located just through the doors of the Mostyn. It is from the same people that own Zaika, one of the few Indian restaurants with a Michelin star. Everything is great, especially the vegetarian taster menu. This is world-class food, in my opinion better than Red Fort (top-rated Indian in London) and still relatively reasonable. Be careful, it's London, so that still means $30 for lunch. The restaurant is still new, so they are still trying hard, and it is hard to beat for a truly stellar, creative dining experience.
The street running behind the Mostyn, Wigmore Street, has a Wagamama restaurant a few blocks down (towards Bond Street), an excellent IKEA-looking place serving tasty, bargain noodles.
Book carefully at the Mostyn
We stayed at the Mostyn for two nights this month (July 2004). We felt that the room was too small for comfort as a double, but that it would be OK as a single. The room that we were assigned faced a street with substantial traffic. Rooms towards the rear of the hotel looked to be both larger and quieter. The air conditioning in our room was marginal at best.
On the positive side the room rate was very moderate for a hotel located one block from the Oxford Street shopping district, and the included breakfast was ample.
The hotel's regular restaurant is not operating, but the restaurant across the street at the Thistle Marble Arch has a very good early-bird carvery buffet for about 13 pounds.
If you book at the Mostyn try to get a room away from the street.
The best hotel for the price
we stay in london for about a week at the best western mostyn it is a nice hotel clean and the staff very helpful to give information they renoeted all the which nice and clean close to oxford street and buses we enjoy stay at this hotel
Brilliant Hotel
After two night in a perfectly awful hotel the Mostyn was like a dream! We had a triple room which they gave us at a highly discounted rate (we walked in off the street in search of a decent hotel) and could not have been happier. This hotel has recently been refurbished so everthing is new and clean. Our room was very large as was the bathroom which had an enormous bath and one of the best showers I've ever had in a hotel. We requested a room away from the street and were given one facing into the back of a police station. The view wasn't great but it really couldn't have been any quiter. Request a rear facing room if possible because we were told by another guest that their front facing room was quite noisy. The staff at the front desk were always very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast was very good-top quality leg ham, cheese, cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit, juice, tea/coffee, croissants etc. The hotel is in a great location between two tube stations on Oxford Street and on the bus route for Regents Park and London Zoo. Hyde Park and Marble Arch are literally down the road as is the hub for the open top red London Bus tours. Great for shopping, great for cheap tourist buys and great for convenience. Definitely stay here!!!
Stayed in this hotel in February '04, and must admit, it's a fantastic hotel. Rooms are just about the right size, very cozy and warm, with all the necessary needs...phone, hairdryer, tv, central heating, and tea/coffee facilities. The room and also bathroom were kept spotless conditions!! Breakfast was great too. The staff were very friendly and very helpful too. Last but not least, the hotel is positioned in a fantastic location.
Tiny room, no bath (shower only - which was not clearly noted in the info sheet...), coffee maker was out of order and no memo pad was readily available...
Excelent Room Rate in the Heart of Oxford Street
one can not get a good rate for a room in this area of London. Frankly I think, for doing your shopping at Oxford street, one can not get a better bargain.
Hate the place
The rooms are small and very inconvenient. The service of the front desk manager is as bad as one can imagin. The maintenance of the hotel is terrible. I was injured by a large, heavy wood panel which all of a sudden came off the wall in the bath room.

Getting Lost: Day 1
... and I needed to take a breather. With the free wifi, I got a rough idea of how to get to Covent Garden. I needed to walk down towards Trafalgar Square and then through Leicester Square. Oh boy. I couldn't find Trafalgar Square (who can't find one of the biggest squares in the city? Apparently me). I saw the National Portrait Gallery and immediately walked in. First, it's free.

Their pharmacy staff competency leaves alot to be desired! I have a script that needs to be filled monthly. I changed doctors and took my new script to the pharmacy 3 months ago. Well, somehow, they can't find it! NO ONE at the pharmacy would take responsibility for the script (LOST BY WALGREENS) in fact it's calleds "pass the buck" I was asked in no uncertain terms the date that I physically delivered the script to them.....REALLY????? Does anyone remember the exact date 3 months ago when they dropped of their script at the pharmacy???? WOW!!!! I am dumping them like a bad relationship! Do yourself a favor, DON"T USE THIS WALGREENS PHARMACY, and save yourself the aggrivation.

The internationally acclaimed Russian pianist Andrei Gavrilov battled through the snow recently to deliver a concert and masterclass to a packed audience at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.
Gavrilov paid a rare visit to the UK as part of his first world tour in over ten years, and honoured our students with a powerful and memorable masterclass.
Trinity Laban's Sarah Lebrecht reports back on the day:
The morning begins with a recital of music by Prokofiev, Gavrilov's specialty. The "new dimension" of which he speaks is evident from the moment his fingers touch the keys.
His passion for music is palpable and captivating. Gavrilov describes Prokofiev's Sonata No.8 in loving detail. It is his best sonata, he tells us: "an all-embracing summary of the philosophy of the last century…it is like watching the 20th Century through the brain of Prokofiev. It is also a confession - the only piece in which this immensely private man, afraid for his life and livelihood under the harsh Soviet regime, opens his heart to us 100 per cent."
Gavrilov's performance is both technically perfect and emotionally absorbing; at one with the music, he draws the mesmerised audience in with him. When the piece ends after 40 glorious minutes, he springs from the piano stool with a flourish that seems almost a continuation of the music itself.
The effect is rendered particularly dramatic by the intimate venue. The Peacock Room at Trinity Laban seats just 70 people. Not that Gavrilov stints as a result; one gets the impression that he would perform with the same verve and vitality were he on stage at the Albert Hall.
Following the recital, it is time for the masterclass, in which four exceptional Trinity Laban piano students take to the stage in turn for a coaching session from the maestro. If they are feeling intimidated they don't let it affect their playing, which is impressive and technically assured. But Gavrilov's concern is entirely with the music, and he is uncompromising in his demands that each player draw each and every nuance from their chosen piece.
As before, his love of music shines through every word he speaks, as well as every note he plays, and the depth of his knowledge and understanding is unparalleled. "Never forget," he tells up-and-coming pianist Christopher Guild, Richard Carne Junior Fellow, "that Janáček was half amateur - he writes with the pure blood of his heart". To Nafis Umerkulova, he emphasises the "cosmic eroticism" latent in Scriabin's sonata. "There is nothing human in this piece," he insists. "You need to imbue it with the coldness and wildness of the stars".
Again and again he warns against slowing down at the end of phrases, declaring that "rallentando nearly cost me a concert", referring to his performance of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the New York Philharmonic, during which they played with so many gratuitous pauses that, in his jetlagged state, he dozed off and almost fell off the piano stool!
Gavrilov is warm, cheerful and personable, and the sheer depth of his musical knowledge and experience made both recital and masterclass an intensely rewarding experience for all involved. As one awed audience member commented, his playing was "so powerful - I'm surprised the piano's still standing up there!"
Christopher spoke later of the inspiration that would stay with him: "What I particularly enjoyed most was how Gavrilov could so logically explain the way such metaphysical ideas are represented in the music, what it all meant. I came away feeling I'd glimpsed the core of the music in a way I was never previously able to."
Deniz Gelenbe, Head of Keyboard at Trinity Laban, was also captivated: "I was overwhelmed by his magical interpretations and insightful masterclass. He had such depth of understanding of the intentions of the composers, and was able to transmit these thoughts with such sincerity and directness. An unforgettable experience - how lucky and privileged we were to host him!"
