Excellent product, quick delivery. Great to support a veteran-owned establishment.
Great fit, lightweight and breathable.
Awesome shirt. Get a lot of complements
Outstanding shirt. Lightweight and fits great.
I bought these shirts for myself and the other Military Advisors and Armourer on a certain film we're working on here in Vancouver and not only did we love them but several crew members were kinda envious ;-) SixTwo Foxtrot , Out
This is definitely my new favorite shirt!!!! The design is so awesome and is made of the same amazing quality of all ZF products!
So I am huge predator and alien fan. This shirt is amazing!! The quality is the best! The look is also very good. Only thing I recommend is if you wear a large in regular shirts then get this XL I wear a large for this large it's a little Snug but still fits good! I am so happy with this purchase.
Amazing shirt , awesome site, cant get enough found it a month ago already have 5 shirts and a lighter! ( get to the chopper) !! And get more shirts!!
If it bleeds you should wear it. Journey to the South American jungles with real men like Arnold and Carl Weathers and grab yourself one of these. It'll have all your friends coming up to you saying "You Son Of A Bitch!"
Great product always great to do business here!
Pre-ordered this shirt, waited for it, it came in and that night I told everyone I was "down with the sickness" and like a 5 year old, put on this shirt, bbq'd some steak, poured myself a beer in my Thor stein, and sat down to a Predator marathon. Worth EVERY last penny!
Love this shirt fits great and gets lots of compliments
My older brothers had Predator on everyday when I was a kid and I had to sneak watch it or else my Ma would kill me. Great comfortable shirt that pays homage to the movie that set the bar for bad assery. Get to da choppah and buy this shirt as soon as it comes back in stock!
Awesome Shirt, Awesome Design, awesome material, Zero Foxtrot was been my favorite shirts for a while now. rocking my preachin shirt right now. Keep up the good work.
Awesome t shitt
This is my new favorite shirt, it's soft but strong and not a cheap print on. I ordered to but I wish I had more. I may will definitely be buying more from here. And probably another predator shirt since I'm a huge alien predator fan
This shirt is amazeballs! Perfect fit, excellent quality, looks awesome!
Great material, fit and comfort. The graphics are awesome too.
I ordered a sticker that was out of stock, these dudes substituted them with TWO other stickers of higher value. These guys are SOLID! Will definitely do more business with ZF.
Great product by a great company.
As soon as I put this shirt on I started seeing in thermal vision. Next thing I knew I had all these gadgets and weapons used to maim and trap commies and desert goat fuckers over in the good ol Middle East.
Just kidding. I've been a huge fan of all the predator movies and seeing this shirt come out for pre order, I couldn't resist. Greatest purchase I've ever made from this website, second being the Texas skullfucker and the badass black zippo. You gentlemen create merchandise that i personally think are better, more eye-candy and patriotic, but not so much that it can be cringy. Keep this shit up, you guys will always have my money if you keep this rolling.
My 5th ZF shirt I've ordered. Couldn't be more pleased with it! Love the material these shirts are made of! Definitely a head turner and makes ya stand out in a crowd
The shirt material is heavy duty yet soft...Graphics are well done and don't look like they will wash out ......AWESOME GEAR....Will be making multiple orders in the near future
badass just badass all I need now is ol painless and id be set, keep up the good work
My favorite shirt by far. Love the Predator and ZF. Combined with a perfect fitting very comfortable shirt it just doesn't get any better.
I ordered this for my husband who is a disabled veteran and i am super happy and so is he
Very comfortable, nice looking and lots of complements!
Well what can I say ? Brilliant great service great quality good price for the quality very happy customer thank you five star service all the way
My fourth short from ZF and will be buying more. Very soft shirts great light designs.
I purchased this for my husband and he absolutely loves it. Great quality shirt and true to size.
Great shirt , turns some heads
First order from ZF. I'll definitely order more shirts in the future. Very comfortable and a good fit. Not to mention the sick looking hunter design. Excellent shirt.
Great shirt, people ask where I got it. Fits great and a great material.
I am a big guy and the 34xl FIT just fine. Great t-shirt especially with spring and summer around the corner.
The shirt arrived promptly and looks, feels great! Why aren't you buying here?
This shirt is sweet. I know a lot of people that love it. Thank you guys for the quick shipping of the product.
It was a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it!!!
He says it feels like it was made for his body. Soft fabric. True to size. Very well done. Will be buying from this site again
The T-Shirt was even better than expected. Received it quicker than initially stated! Definitely order again from these guys!
The feel and fit of the shirt are great, not to mention the Predator skull on the front almost made me cover my damn self in mud to avoid thermals and scream at my friends to get to the chopper. All around great product 5 Schwarzeneggers out of 5.
It lokks and feels badass also i wish rhe image was able to be put on the back other than that its worth the money people have asked is that the prwdator skull lol true fans
The Predatior. What more could you ask for? Comfortable shirt great quality.
Really cool addition to the collection. Love the integration of the ZF logo and the predator skull. Keep churning out these awesome shirts, guys. I will continue to shop your company for as long as you do!
The fit and style were just what I was looking for - really like the design - I bought the ball cap also
Zero Foxtrot never disappoints I love this shirt
This shirt goes so awesome with anyone open carrying in public. Slinging a badass sleeve on your arm only adds to the pussy slaying affect you will have on your entire community. People know not to fuck with predator and this shirt sends that message to every tree hugging, anti-gun pussy our country holds.
Exactly what I thought it would be. Great sizing. Best online company. Will make many more purchases.
This shirt is the cats meow. My girlfriend and I went to get dog food for our three pitbull (they ate all the neighborhood children already) and I was wearing the shirt. Needless to say every man I walked by gave me a thumbs up. One guy even yelled "hail satan!". I was given three numbers from woman shopping for their dogs, two were very hot moms and the other a suoermodel. I got into and won a fight between me and 5 muggers and was given the food for free because they feared what I would do if they made me pay. Then I went home, fed my beasts, banged my girlfriend and her two sorority sisters, bench pressed 405 lbs and ate three steaks. Needless to say I couldn't have done it without this shirt... I would've only been able to eat two steaks
Love at first sight! Predator is one of my favorite sci/fi movies. When I saw this shirt I knew I had to have it. The fit and finish is as with all my ZF shirts great. The details in the face are awesome and pop off the shirt making it a really cool addition to my cool ass shirt collection.
Love this shirt, as always very satisfied with the products you put out.
Love the shirt. Size was true. Comfy. Outstanding quality print.
Stay Zero out there.
Didn't take it off for four days....sink washed it and wore it for two more. It speaks to me what can I say? ZF mfn Nation. Stack rebels is next....great job.
What can I say? I saw a really cool looking t shirt online and had to have it. I placed my order and miss read the delivery date. I emailed to ask if my product had been perhaps lost in the mail. I was replied to in minutes very politely and my shirt arrived a couple days after. Very happy with the quality and fit! Great costumer service is something you don't see very often anymore. Thanks guys!
Another awesome product! Thank you, I have now devoted approx 5% of my income to ZF. Thanks for what you do, Mac
It's sweet
This shirt is awesome! Absolutely love it.
Shirt is awesome!
Great predator inspired t shirt !! Soft material that fits perfect and comfortably ! There t shirts are of an amazing quality . Keep on the look out for more of their awesome limited edition shirts . Very satisfied
Great fit, great material, great company!
Simply put, one of the best shirts you can get.
The moment I put this shirt on, Long Tall Sally blasted in the background. I was being helo'd in for a simple set-up, one day operation. Nothing but pencil pushers around me, asking me about my shirt. So I said, "Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. This shirt will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me." Jokes aside, this is the fourth or fifth shirt I've purchased from ZF. I receive what I expect, and that's a comfortable and durable shirt with homages to some bad asses, and some killer movies.

His nurse Krystal is absolutely amazing and is about the only good thing I have to say about Scranton Ortho. Dr. Samujh himself was very caring and nice although the appointments seemed rushed. He was great with following up on me though. Things took a turn for the worse when he got the MRI results back and referred me to his partner, Dr. Siebecker who ended up just making my foot worse than it was before I came. I will never go back to this practice because of my experience with Siebecker.

Cherry Farm
The old psychiatric hospital Cherry Farm (also known as Hawkesbury Village) closed in 1992 and the former residential care facilities are now home to a growing number of families and a small selection of boutique food outlets.
Evansdale cheeses have had a factory here for more than a decade, and the increasing number of tourists stopping for a wedge of New Zealand brie is drawing more cottage businesses to this unusual shopping quarter.

SWIWI - Designer Love
Hoi (Swiss for Kia Ora)! To Joerg (Jörg) Agostini and Nicole Fehlmann, a Swiss couple gone Noozilid down to the boardies in Dunners. Joerg and Nicole live together and work together. I'm talking every day, people. Don't know about you, but I can hardly stand the sight of myself most mornings, so struggle to imagine running a successful international design company with my Snugglebumpkins. What if you're having a sh*t day and you hate each other? "Then you hate each other," says Joerg. "There's always plenty of work to be done, either way," says Nicole. They started SWIWI Design (Swiss Kiwi – which makes me think of a kiwifruit covered in chocolate, or gumboots on snow) specialising in design for anything print or web, in January 2014 and have been together 10 years this January. "We start everything in January," says Nicole.

Lure - Jewellery for All the Floors of Life's Staircase.
While not known for much more than foot-stomping irritability, Rumpelstiltskin would love Lure, a place where gold is spun daily; a fairy tale tower full of artists prepared to let down their hair (actually, that might be Rapunzel, but let's roll with it) and create objects to inspire impish greed. 12 jewellers from Otago are represented, 8 working out of this Edwardian building. Every floor of the winding staircase features banisters painted in different colours: 80s purple, 90s lime… the jewellers go back to alluvial times: "We've known each other 20 million years, since 1991" says Ann Culy. How do they manage to share such a small space without getting on each other's proverbial? "We know when to shut up."

Three levels of lush greenery, orchids, waterfalls, live fish and a humid heat that soothes the soul is worth the trip any idle day you have spare to explore with the kids.
Dunedin gets a bad rep for weather (and honestly if the whole truth got out, who knows how many North Islanders would move down here). I could spend time dispelling the myth but I will just concede that a couple of the winter months are a wee bit miserable and spring can be unpredictable! A warm, indoor adventure is exactly what this mum ordered a few weekends ago.

The place is the Rob Roy Dairy, a popular choice in Dunedin for years and with 20 flavours of delicious creamy ice cream as well as a host of toppings there's something for everyone. Success tells its own story Rob Roy diary was the biggest seller of Tip Top Scoop Ice cream in 2013, the quality of product and service and an extensive range pull in the crowds.

NBC Ignores 9/11 To Chat About Boob Jobs With Kim Kardashian's Mom
Kim Kardashian's mom, Kris Jenner, is sooo busy right now! And her busy schedule -- which includes boob jobs and getting her kids pregnant -- apparently is more important than shutting up for a few seconds to remember the very moment when an airplane first crashed into the World Trade Center 11 years ago today.
Jenner appeared this morning on NBC's Today. At 8:46 a.m., as many Americans -- including the president and hosts of other morning shows -- observed a moment of silence to honor those killed when the first plane hit the WTC, Jenner and new Today host Savannah Guthrie gabbed about Jenner's boob job, her daughter Khloe's infertility, and the all-important relationship between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
So much for "Never Forget."
Watch the interview below -- and "never forget" that the only reason this woman is famous is because her daughter made sex tape with Ray J. Fact.

At the risk of making the NSW Scottish web site seem like a politicians's post-election behaviour we have to again break our previous promise not to report on the weather for the 2017 Harbour Cruise. This is because IT RAINED! and it rained all day but did not dampen the Scottish spirits. (Note Scottish not Scotch, we are not sure whether our guests dampened their whisky or not)
This year Frank Woodhams commandeered a larger vessel, the Captain Cook III, pictured above among the grey clouds. It was just as well he did because a record-breaking 140 members and guests accepted the Association's invitation. The new vessel accommodated everyoine very well with a different configuration of tables that enabled most of us to get a better view of the rainy harbour attractions.
|The crowd boarding
|The crowd boarding and still boarding
As usual the Pipes and Drums entertained the boarders and bystanders and as usual our photographer showed his incompetence because the Man'O War kept stepping into the picture. The cruise liner at Circular Quay did provide a different backdrop though.
Tradition followed commencement of the voyage with the Association AGM taking place on the upper deck of the Captain Cook III. Frank Woodhams reported on past and future activity and finances and also announced that in honour of Alpha Company's involvement in overseas operations in East Timor and the Solomon Islands, these activities are now emblazoned on the Association Banner.
|The unveiling of the banner at the AGM
|A better view of the banner held by CPL Greg Smallwood and PTE Declan Murray of Alpha Coy
Despite the record attendance and contrary to what the pictures below seem to show, the new boat provided ample room for all to ove about and the lunch menu was a great improvement on past cruises.
As usual the occasion was highlighted by the Pipes and Drums
Each year the Association makes a donation to the Pipes and Drums to offset the considerable expense incurred by its members in upkeep of uniforms and instruments
|Frank Woodhams and Pipe Major Gordon Irving
In what is now a tradition anongst the many others, Harvey Baden has adopted the role of "Captain OY" to lead us in the response during the playing of th Black Bear. In acknowledgement of his complaint that we rarely show his happy face on the web site we are pleased to do so now and at the same time capture his performance during the Black Bear of the 2017 AGM.
Prior to the conduct of the raffle, Frank Woodhams takes the opportunity to make a presentation to recognise the contribution of special people and this year in recognition of the high level of support given to the Association and to the Reserve Forces Day Council of Group Commissioner Trent Aylward and the Australian Air League a special presentation was made to CPL Natalie Aylward who has earned the distinction of the Air League's New South Wales Cadet of the Year.
LTCOL John Moore also took the opportunity to detail the current interest of the Reserve Forces Day Council in the campaign initiated by the Chairman of RFDC, the Hon Tim Fischer AC, to have General Sir John Monash posthumously promoted to the rank of Field Marshal in belated recognition of the vital part General Monash played in the latter stages of WW2, a recognition that was denied to him in the years after 1918. John Moore spoke of the then forthcoming NSW Launch of the Saluting Monash Council that was held in Sydney on March 8
|LTCOL Moore
And then the Raffle
|The Prizes donated by Members
|And the Prize of Prizes donated by Dulux
Some of the winners were:
The Dulux Dog was originally won by Colin Boland to the consternation of Clementine von Muenster, the daughter of MAJ Stephen von Muenster the previous OC of Aplha Coy who is now one of our staunchest members and was a great supporter of the Association during his service in Alpha Company. Stephen offered a donation to the Assocation if Colin was prepared to forego his proze, which Colin generously agreed to do.
|Colin, Clementine and her dog
About 30 members and guests and the Pipes and Drums attended the 2017 Gemas Day celebration. This is a pleasing turnout showing that Gemas is not forgotten by the current generation.
The 2/30 Battalion Association is still operative but only because its members now comprise, in the main, sons and daughters of the original men of the 2/30th. There are almost none of the orginals still alive and none still capable of attending Gemas Day. Once the memory is passed on to the next generation, it may well be that membership of the Association will decline.
The other WW2 Association of the 30 Battalions, the 30 Battalion 1939-1945, has already been dissolved.
It makes it even more important that our Association take up the baton in continuing the memory of the marvellous work done by the 2/30th at Gemas on 14 January 1942 and the memory of the members of the Battalion who perished then and subsequently as prisoners of war.
It is salutary to reflect on the effect of time by comparing the two photos below. The first shows the 2/30 Asscoation marching in 2008, and the second the members marching in 2017. Note the WW2 medals in the first picture and their absence in the second one.
The following photo indicates how our attendance swelled the audience on the day.
The keynote address on the day was given by CAPT Pat Sharkey, the current OC of Alpha Company (Scottish) who reflected on how appropriate the message given by previous guest speakers were then and now. Note that despite the reluctance by the Army hierarchy to support the history of Regiments such as the Scottish, CAPT Sharkey is carrying on the traditions as best he can by wearing the kilt when he can.
Our Association is proud to lay a wreath on each Gemas Day and this year the wreath was laid by Frank Woodhams and Don McNeice.
The tradition of marching past the Memorial is still carried on, although in a shortened version, despite the absence of any originals and this year we were proud to be invited to take part by the President of the 2/30 Association. The march was led by the Pipes and Drums as they have done for many years
In a previous report we promised that we would not start our future reports by commenting on the weather. So we won't, except to say that it was perfect for the 2016 30 Battalions' Church Parade.
|The St Stephens Choir under the eye of the 30 Battalion Regimental Standard singing "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?". A most appropriate song for Rememberance Day
The Church service was followed by the now traditional end of year and Christmas lunch at which traditional Christmas fare was served including festive vegetables which tickled the fancy and the appetite of at least one of our guests who proceeded to eat them festively.
Thanks to Don and Brenda McNeice for their festive decoration of the tables.
In the absence of haggis at the Christmas lunch a tradition of Piping in the Pud has developed.
|Piping in the Pud
|The Pud
Then, as always, the highlight of the day the Pipes and Drums, whose repertoire once again included new tunes although their performancee of Highland Cathedral needs special mention as it was a special delight for us all.
|The Pipes
|and the Drums
In recognition of his sterling service as the Pud Piper and his piped rendition of Happy Birthday to Eric Maver Bill Wright was elevated to Acting Piper Major for the Toast and toasted the President.
And finally the raffle which does so much under the organisation of Don McNeice and his band of raffle consultants - festive ones this time - to provide funds for the Association. Our thanks to all who donated prizes which were of the usual very high standard.
Some of the lucky winners were (you will note how intense they were in their selection of prizes such was their high standard):
|Graeme was one of them
|He wanted to make sure of his choice
|Still looking
The reports on our various functions have always started off with a comment in the weather. While this may be useful for historical reasons the subject of the weather hardly makes scintillating reading. Your webmaster therefore promised himself that the weather would not be the opening subject for ANZAC Day 2016. However the weather on the day turned out to be so perfect that he could not resist reporting on it. Another promise broken!
The route of the march this year was altered from the traditional march past the Cenotaph and then on George St due to the work on the light rail in George St. It now takes marchers south along Elizabeth St with respects being given as the participants draw level with the ANZAC Memorial in Hyde Park South. Despite public comments from veterans about not marching past the Cenotaph, the new route seemed to win general approval. Certainly some of the 40 members of the Association who marched commented favourably on it.
The Association was led this year by Major Stephen von Muenster, the previous OC of Alpha Company (Scottish), who while serving in that capacity was a keen supporter of the Asscoation and who in his "retirement" from current service continues to support us as a member of the Association.
Our thanks to Chris Coulson for the photographs
Following the March, our traditional NSW Scottish Reunion lunch was held at the Royal Automobile Club. This year, in Frank Woodham's absence the event was hosted by Harvey Baden, who despite being deputised at short notice did an excellent job as always.
As usual the most popular event of the afternoon was the performance by the PIpes and Drums who once again demonstrated the breadth of their repertoire by including new tunes in their brackets.
Our stand-in president showed he is as capable as our real president in toasting the Pipe-Major
A special presentation was made to Vice-President Don McNeice for his very long standing and widespread support to the Association since its formation. Don has provided excellent support to Frank Woodhams in many ways and in many capacities during his long service to the Association and the presentation to him is very well deserved. This was acknowledged widely and enthusiastically by the members at the lunch.
The raffle again proved popular with some of the winners being:

Once again, Tony Pidgley, the Barnardo's boy turned multimillionaire residential builder, is set to make a killing out of a property downturn. While his peers at Barratt and Taylor Wimpey were getting ready to announce mass redundancies and desperately trying to shore up their balance sheets in the worst housing crisis since the early 1990s, the 60-year-old chief executive of Berkeley announced two weeks ago that the company would spend £350m on cheap land.
Berkeley board members had noted a 25 per cent fall in land prices, so decided to go buying in a move that in effect calls the bottom of the market. Pidgley made the same call in 1991, making him something of a legend in the close-knit world of housebuilding. "By and large the reaction from our shareholders has been first class," says Mr Pidgley, with the biggest of smiles. "The vast majority of them trust the management."
Investors in housebuilding's "big three" – Taylor Wimpey, Barratt Developments and Persimmon – have been far less trusting: their share prices have all lost more than 80 per cent of their value in the past year.
For Mr Pidgley, the game is simple: a decade of uninterrupted growth should have meant that builders had enough cash stashed away for the fall that was bound to occur in such a cyclical industry.
"The City pushes for more and more – turnover growth, profit growth – and it rewards managers if they achieve that," sighs a source. "But the industry is not scaleable; housebuilding needs discipline."
Mark Clare and Peter Redfern, the chief executives of Barratt and Taylor Wimpey respectively, believed that the industry was scaleable – that it was ripe for consolidation. Last year Barratt bought rival Wilson Bowden for £2.2bn, while Taylor Woodrow and Wimpey merged, creating two FTSE 100 forces.
Former directors at Barratt were not convinced by the strategy; the company hadn't made a big acquisition in two decades. Last week their doubts only grew stronger as the company, burdened by £1.7bn of debt, announced 1,000 people would go from its 6,700-strong workforce.
Leslie Kent, a director and analyst at broker FinnCap, says Barratt's decision to buy Wilson Bowden at the top of the market has caused its current plight. "It paid 22 quid for every 11 quid of assets," he points out.
The falling values of those assets and the decline in house sales meant Barratt was in serious danger of breaching its banking covenants. However, a trading statement this week is expected to confirm that Mr Clare has managed to find £400m of fresh debt to help finance repayment of the Wilson Bowden acquisition. He should also announce that he has negotiated a relaxation of Barratt's covenants.
Taylor Wimpey's problems run even deeper. On Monday the board confirmed speculation it had changed the terms of its credit facility – on the condition it raised equity. By Wednesday this capital raising was in chaos when a trading statement reported that negotiations with investors had not led to "a satisfactory transaction". If the situation is not resolved, or house prices don't rise dramatically, Taylor Wimpey will next year find itself in breach of "one or more" of its banking covenants, the statement added.
"The Taylor Wimpey stuff is really scary," says a property banker who is also a veteran of the 1990s crash.
Mr Kent at FinnCap adds that Taylor Wimpey's woes have been exacerbated by the way in which the merger was completed. Under accounting rules, one party had to be viewed as the acquirer and Taylor Woodrow was accorded that honour, with the result that Wimpey's land bank was valued at 2007 prices. As this was the peak of the market, that value have since fallen heavily, hurting the balance sheet.
"Builders that haven't made big acquisitions will find their land revaluations will not be in the same order of magnitude," says Mr Kent, before hinting that this won't necessarily protect their share prices. "The stock market takes no prisoners; all housebuilders are tarred with the same brush."
Paul Pedley, a former chief executive of housebuilder Redrow, believes "the market took a step forward in 2006 it perhaps shouldn't have". In other words, there should have been a correction that would have created "a soft landing". "Mortgages were at low rates and there was a lot of corporate- financed growth," explains Mr Pedley. "This allowed housebuilders to carry on growing in 2006-07. It was like having a couple of drinks, then deciding to have four or five."
The result, with the hammer blow of the credit crunch, is a very bad hangover. This collapse has taken place in nine months, compared to four years in the 1990s. Worse still, the housebuilding industry is far less nimble than it was in 1989-92, so it will take companies longer to alter their tactics.
Mr Pedley blames the Government's Communities Department for this. In the 1980s and 1990s, the housebuilder's model was to construct detached and semi-detached homes. Since 1997, the Government has looked to tackle the UK's lack of housing by making developments a lot denser – terraces or lots of flats.
Before 1997, developments could be stopped halfway through as individual houses could still be quickly completed and sold. But builders cannot stop when they have constructed only half of a 50-apartment block. "We could turn the tap off quicker back then," explains Mr Pedley. "We've done what the politicians asked, and now we've got the problems."
But that lack of supply is the one ray of hope for likes of Barratt and Taylor Wimpey. Underlying all the chaos is a need for at least 250,000 new homes a year. In the long term, the Government will have to address this, even if that means providing more funding to banks so they can offer better-rate mortgages.
Peter Alcaraz, head of housebuilding corporate advisory work at Close Brothers, sums up this point: "This is an affordability issue. There is a lack of access for funding for buyers, so there is a slowdown in the number of housing transactions."
However, until those mortgages are made available, housebuilders will face a nastier version of the early 1990s. Perhaps next time, they will follow the lead of the Barnardo's boy.Reuse content

Good 3.5 /5 from 19 reviews
Not A/C in room
small room, hotel had a private pool and the sea and beach was just steps away. only thing I can think of that was a negative about this place was its distance to Venice (if that's what you were there for)
All in all, not bad and certainly value for money......breakfast, however was a disappointment, no fresh fruit and a very boring selection with bad coffee and hot powdered milk. the pool was excellent and not crowded at all....always clean and well tended. My room, which was a single didn't have a balcony, and while the details didn't say it did, the picture of the single room showed a balcony....the ceiling fan was very noisy and you had to move the loo paper out of the shower room otherwise it got wet...but the staff were extremely helpful and considering I got a cheap deal...I can't complain.

Well, time to split that atom... *BOOM!*
i damn well love random weird stuff people who dont have no sense o humer so yeah loved man oohhhhh a atom im gonna make it go boom

Question & Answers
Creeper in minecraft?
Are there any creepers in minecraft pocket edition?
Answer from: Favianmxx
Yes the creepers are zombies that come out at night build a house or tunnel and block the enterance and stay there
Answer from: uri132
No there is still lots of updating,so far only zombies
Answer from: likeablawk
Well, u can get creepers if u change the zombie skins. Using ifile of course.
Answer from: BHAKTI
Yes! I was creating my own seeds-- using famous numbers (Fibonacci, for example) and famous names with random numerical sequences I came up with myself and sure enough a Creeper was on a grassy plain beside the first hut I built. Unfortunately, the particular seed I created made it so the zombies attacked me during the daytime (!), and even more shocking than that, I went out during the daytime to chop down more trees and when I returned to my home there were three zombies waiting for me INSIDE my house! I only had wooden swords at that point; needless to say, they killed me. For the record, the inside of my home was well lit...no reason they should have spawned there. Also, I know I shut the door when I left.
Answer from: Kyle
No. Maybe they will have it in the next update. You could get creepers by changing zombie skins by using ifile from cydia. But you have to jailbreak your iPad to get cydia.
Answer from: Minecraftgirl
Yes, there are now creepers in minecraft pocket edition. If you don't have them still, you might want to update. Have fun avoiding them! ;)
Answer from: Vincent
Only on update 6.1 creeper and blaze will show up
Answer from: katzurama
You can get many creeper in minecraft pe 0.6.0
Answer from: Cosmetictoast99
Creepers explode when they get close to you.
Answer from: Abradan 123
Yes they are quite common. I see them all the time. You will at least see one if your seed is "xylophone valley". However, you need to get off the North Pole and go to a fairly large island. Don't whack them with wooden pickaxes.
Answer from: famous creeper
Yes there creepers on Minecraft well only on survival mode. Peace out!

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 16 page booklet.
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.

Ministers ordered a crackdown on pupils relying on technology as figures showed 17 million people are so bad with numbers they cannot pay household bills or understand price labels.
Teachers will be told to make pupils in the first five years of school use their heads instead of calculators and computers.
Schools minister Nick Gibb said: "Without a solid grounding in arithmetic and early maths in primary school, children go on to struggle with basic maths skills throughout their school careers."
It came as official research today revealed millions are practically innumerate and are also struggling to read properly. The government-commissioned study showed:
* Almost 17 million adults have the maths skills of a nine-year-old.
* More than five million people are struggling with reading and writing.
* At least two million have the maths and literacy skills of a five-year-old. According to the Skills for Life survey, which questioned 7,000 adults, the problem is getting worse.
Carol Taylor of the National Institute of Adult Education said: "It is alarming. We have far too many people with very poor basic skills in this country and the system isn't working for them.
"Put simply, around one in six of the adult population has difficulty with aspects of reading and writing."
The findings came as the Government announced new rules to combat the problem. Schools minister Mr Gibb said a section on using calculators in the SATs for 11-year-olds will be scrapped. He said: "Children can become too dependent on calculators if they use them at too young an age. They shouldn't be reaching for a gadget every time they need to do a simple sum."
Pupils in future will only be allowed to use a calculator once they know their times tables by heart and have a thorough grounding in basic maths, under proposals which will be considered in the National Curriculum Review.
Mr Gibb highlighted research showing that in best-performing education systems calculators are used only in the upper years of primary schools.
The UK has fallen from eight to 28th in maths over the past 10 years in international league tables.
The skills report showed that 16.8 million adults (49.1 per cent) have numeracy skills at Entry Level 3 or below. This is equivalent to the achievement expected of a child aged nine to 11.
Adults with skills below this level would struggle to pay bills.
This is up on 2003, the last time the survey was conducted, when 14.9 million adults had numeracy skills at Entry Level 3 or below.
In literacy, 5.1 million adults (14.9 per cent) were at Entry Level 3 or below, down slightly from 2003, when the figure stood at 5.2 million.

Title: New reconstruction of the sunspot group number since 1739 using the direct calibration and "backbone" methods Author: Theodosios Chatzistergos, Ilya G. Usoskin, Gennady A. Kovaltsov, Natalie A. Krivova, Sami K. Solanki Group sunspot number (GSN) series constitute the longest instrumental astronomical database providing information on solar activity. It is a compilation of observations by many individual observers, and their inter-calibration has usually been performed using linear rescaling. There are multiple published series that show different long-term trends for solar activity. We aim at producing a GSN series, with a non-linear non-parametric calibration. The only underlying assumptions are that the differences between the various series are due to different acuity thresholds of the observers, and that the threshold of each observer remains constant throughout the observing period. We use a daisy chain process with backbone (BB) observers and calibrate all overlapping observers to them. The calibration of each individual observer is performed with a probability distribution function (PDF) matrix, constructed considering all daily values for the overlapping period with the BB. The calibration of the BBs is done in a similar manner. Propagation of errors is modelled with Monte Carlo simulations. The final series extends back to 1739 and includes data from 314 observers. It suggests moderate activity during the 18th and 19th century, which is significantly lower than the high level of solar activity predicted by other recent reconstructions applying linear regressions. The new series provides a robust reconstruction, based on modern and non-parametric methods, of sunspot group numbers since 1739, and it confirms the existence of the Modern grand maximum of solar activity in the second half of the 20th century.Read more (628kb, PDF)
Title: Depth-dependent global properties of a sunspot observed by Hinode (SOT/SP) Author: Sanjiv K. Tiwari, Michiel van Noort, Sami K. Solanki, Andreas Lagg The 3D structure of sunspots has been extensively studied for the last two decades. A recent advancement of the Stokes inversion technique prompts us to revisit the problem. We investigate the global depth-dependent thermal, velocity and magnetic properties of a sunspot, as well as the interconnection between various local properties. High quality Stokes profiles of a disk centred, regular sunspot acquired by the SOT/SP (Hinode) are analysed. To obtain the depth-dependent stratification of the physical parameters, we use the spatially coupled version of the SPINOR code. The vertical temperature gradient in the lower to mid-photosphere is smallest in the umbra, it is considerably larger in the penumbra and still somewhat larger in the spot's surroundings. The azimuthally averaged field becomes more horizontal with radial distance from the center of the spot, but more vertical with height. At tau=1, the LOS velocity shows an average upflow of 300 ms-1 in the inner penumbra and an average downflow of 1300 ms-1 in the outer penumbra. The downflow continues outside the visible penumbral boundary. The sunspot shows a moderate negative twist of < 5^0 at tau=1, which increases with height. The sunspot umbra and the spines of the penumbra show considerable similarity in their physical properties albeit with some quantitative differences. The temperature shows a general anticorrelation with the field strength, with the exception of the heads of penumbral filaments, where a weak positive correlation is found. The dependence of the physical parameters on each other over the full sunspot shows a qualitative similarity to that of a standard penumbral filament and its surrounding spines. Our results suggest that the spines in the penumbra are basically the outward extension of the umbra. The spines and the penumbral filaments are together the basic elements forming a sunspot penumbra.Read more (6658kb, PDF)
Corrected Sunspot History Suggests Climate Change since the Industrial Revolution not due to Natural Solar TrendsThe Sunspot Number, the longest scientific experiment still ongoing, is a crucial tool used to study the solar dynamo, space weather and climate change. It has now been recalibrated and shows a consistent history of solar activity over the past few centuries. The new record has no significant long-term upward trend in solar activity since 1700, as was previously indicated. This suggests that rising global temperatures since the industrial revolution cannot be attributed to increased solar activity. The analysis, its results and its implications for climate research were made public today at a press briefing at the International Astronomical Union (IAU) XXIX General Assembly, currently taking place in Honolulu, Hawai`i, USA.

Title: The Effect of Sunspot Weighting Author: Leif Svalgaard, Marco Cagnotti, Sergio Cortesi Waldmeier in 1947 introduced a weighting (on a scale from 1 to 5) of the sunspot count made at Zurich and its auxiliary station Locarno, whereby larger spots were counted more than once. This counting method inflates the relative sunspot number over that which corresponds to the scale set by Wolfer and Brunner. Svalgaard re-counted some 60,000 sunspots on drawings from the reference station Locarno and determined that the number of sunspots reported were 'over counted' by 44% on average, leading to an inflation (measured by a weight factor) in excess of 1.2 for high solar activity. In a double-blind parallel counting by the Locarno observer Cagnotti, we determined that Svalgaard's count closely matches that of Cagnotti's, allowing us to determine the daily weight factor since 2003 (and sporadically before). We find that a simple empirical equation fits the observed weight factors well, and use that fit to estimate the weight factor for each month back to the introduction of weighting in 1947 and thus to be able to correct for the over-count and to reduce sunspot counting without weighting to the Wolfer method in use from 1893 onwards.

Title: Records of sunspot and aurora during CE 960-1279 in the Chinese chronicle of the Song dynasty Author: Hisashi Hayakawa, Harufumi Tamazawa, Akito D Kawamura, Hiroaki Isobe Records of sunspots and aurora observations in pre-telescopic historical documents can provide useful information about solar activity in the past. This is also true for extreme space weather events, as they may have been recorded as large sunspots observed by the naked eye or as low-latitude auroras. In this paper, we present the results of a comprehensive survey of records of sunspots and auroras in the Songshi, a Chinese formal chronicle spanning the tenth to the thirteenth century. This chronicle contains a record of continuous observations with well-formatted reports conducted as a policy of the government. A brief comparison of the frequency of observations of sunspots and auroras and the observations of radioisotopes as an indicator of the solar activity during corresponding periods is provided. This paper is the first step of our project in which we survey and compile the records of sunspots and aurora in historical documents from various locations and languages, ultimately providing it to the science community as online data.

Title: Reconstruction of the Sunspot Group Number: the Backbone Method Author: Leif Svalgaard, Kennuth H. Schatten We have reconstructed the sunspot group count, not by comparisons with other reconstructions and correcting those where they were deemed to be deficient, but by a re-assessment of original sources. The resulting series is a pure solar index and does not rely on input from other proxies, e.g. radionuclides, auroral sightings, or geomagnetic records. 'Backboning' the data sets, our chosen method, provides substance and rigidity by using long-time observers as a stiffness character. Solar activity, as defined by the Group Number, appears to reach and sustain for extended intervals of time the same level in each of the last three centuries since 1700 and the past several decades do not seem to have been exceptionally active, contrary to what is often claimed.

Title: Sunspot Numbers and Areas from the Madrid Astronomical Observatory (1876-1986) Author: A.J.P. Aparicio, J.M. Vaquero, V.M.S. Carrasco, M.C. Gallego The solar program of the Astronomical Observatory of Madrid started in 1876. For ten solar cycles, observations were made in this institution to determine sunspot numbers and areas. The program was completed in 1986. The resulting data have been published in various Spanish scientific publications. The metadata allowed four periods of this program (with different observers and instruments) to be identified. In the present work, the published data were retrieved and digitized. Their subsequent analysis showed that most of these data can be considered reliable given their very high correlation with international reference indices (International Sunspot Number, Group Sunspot Number, and Sunspot Area). An abrupt change emerged in the spots/groups ratio in 1946 which lasted until 1972. Read more (567kb, PDF)
Title: Formation of starspots in self-consistent global dynamo models: Polar spots on cool stars Author: Rakesh K. Yadav, Thomas Gastine, Ulrich R. Christensen, Ansgar Reiners Observations of cool stars reveal dark spot-like features on their surfaces. Compared to sunspots, starspots can be bigger or cover a larger fraction of the stellar surface. While sunspots appear only at low latitudes, starspots are also found in polar regions, in particular on rapidly rotating stars. Sunspots are believed to result from the eruption of magnetic flux-tubes rising from the deep interior of the Sun. The strong magnetic field locally reduces convective heat transport to the solar surface. Such flux-tube models have also been invoked to explain starspot properties. However, these models use several simplifications and so far the generation of either sunspots or starspots has not been demonstrated in a self-consistent simulation of stellar magnetic convection. Here we show that direct numerical simulations of a distributed dynamo operating in a density-stratified rotating spherical shell can spontaneously generate cool spots. Convection in the interior of the model produces a large scale magnetic field which interacts with near surface granular convection leading to strong concentrations of magnetic flux and formation of starspots. Prerequisites for the formation of sizeable high-latitude spots in the model are sufficiently strong density stratification and rapid rotation. Our model presents an alternate mechanism for starspot formation by distributed dynamo action. Read more (10709kb, PDF)
Title: Revisiting the Sunspot Number Author: Frédéric Clette, Leif Svalgaard, José M. Vaquero, Edward W. Cliver Our knowledge of the long-term evolution of solar activity and of its primary modulation, the 11-year cycle, largely depends on a single direct observational record: the visual sunspot counts that retrace the last 4 centuries, since the invention of the astronomical telescope. Currently, this activity index is available in two main forms: the International Sunspot Number initiated by R. Wolf in 1849 and the Group Number constructed more recently by Hoyt and Schatten (1998a,b). Unfortunately, those two series do not match by various aspects, inducing confusions and contradictions when used in crucial contemporary studies of the solar dynamo or of the solar forcing on the Earth climate. Recently, new efforts have been undertaken to diagnose and correct flaws and biases affecting both sunspot series, in the framework of a series of dedicated Sunspot Number Workshops. Here, we present a global overview of our current understanding of the sunspot number calibration. While the early part of the sunspot record before 1800 is still characterized by large uncertainties due to poorly observed periods, the more recent sunspot numbers are mainly affected by three main inhomogeneities: in 1880-1915 for the Group Number and in 1947 and 1980-2014 for the Sunspot Number. The newly corrected series clearly indicates a progressive decline of solar activity before the onset of the Maunder Minimum, while the slowly rising trend of the activity after the Maunder Minimum is strongly reduced, suggesting that by the mid 18th century, solar activity had already returned to the level of those observed in recent solar cycles in the 20th century. We finally conclude with future prospects opened by this epochal revision of the Sunspot Number, the first one since Wolf himself, and its reconciliation with the Group Number, a long-awaited modernization that will feed solar cycle research into the 21st century.
