Processes of Family Law Reform: Legal and Societal Change and Continuity in Morocco and Jordan
This is an excellent thesis, extremely well written and researched with an impressive range of sources well deployed and compellingly engaged in support of the candidate's overall aim of comparing the processes of family law reform in the two selected countries. The thesis looks at 'family law reform as an example of policy making in authoritarian states' and at family law as an examination of 'state-society relations rather than gender relations alone'; the combination of the two is innovative and works very well here. The 'empirical puzzle' of why these two monarchies followed different paths to reform is well presented and the theoretical framework is well selected and supplies a cogent framing of the chapters. The main theoretical framing comprises a careful and relevant exposition of Bourdieu's work in particular including the concept of 'cultural capital' which is invoked consistently in the study and which results in an excellent comparative effort that goes beyond most such efforts at comparison…...The empirical research is carefully explained and used to very good effect; it includes a wide range of pertinent sources accessed with clear commitment to the needs of the thesis. The empirical work includes presentation and analysis of the records of relevant parliamentary debates and interviews, with an illuminating discussion of 'intra-royal competition'; the tracking and analysis of the debates and process of law reform at the department of the Chief Islamic Justice in Jordan in particular presents new material that is of particular and immediate relevance to the thesis. The exposition of calls for further family law reform in Morocco in 2012 also presents original material of great significance; and the section on the role of the social assistant is a further and particularly interesting original contribution. Reflections on the teaching of the law opens new avenues in studying the different parts of systems at play in developing and implementing family law 'reform.' The structure is very well conceived and the Bibliography full, wide-ranging and well presented.

Revolution, play and feeling - Assembling emotionality, national subjectivity and football in Cairo, 1990-2013
This thesis is a thoroughly researched ethnography of football in Egypt during the tumultuous events of 2011-2013. Using extensive participant observation in football playing-and watching milieus of young men in Cairo, Dr Rommel develops an argument about the deeper meaning of football in popular culture. A Latourian assemblage of the sport is constructed from various snippets of popular culture including newspapers, fanzines and other online material. Rommel shows how and why football lost its allure and was fundamentally transformed during the Egyptian uprisings. A highly sophisticated yet very readable urban ethnography, the thesis draws on current debates about affect, emotionality and rhythms of everyday life in anthropology. Rommel puts these debates to great effect by interweaving thematic vignettes with theoretical discussions. Having researched football at such a critical juncture in Egypt's political history, Rommel's dissertation allows for interventions into the political - and sometimes de-politicising - work of sport. It is conversant with key works in Middle East anthropology and studies of Egyptian political culture, and will be of interest to anyone working on Egypt, revolutions, and sport in the Middle East. Finally, Rommel conveys the central element of joy and pleasure in football, which makes it a phenomenon that should be taken very seriously by scholars.

The Politics of How Law Works in War: The Case of the Israeli Military International Law Department
This is an extremely well written and meticulous piece of research that critiques the conventional assumption that international humanitarian law is a tool for constraining military violence against civilians through an analysis of the ways in which Israel has adopted and utilised IHL to legitimize its repression against Palestinian resistance to Zionist occupation and colonization. The clarity of prose, which is to be commended for its lack of jargon, logically unfolds the complex arguments in a clear and concise way. The author makes an excellent case that Israel has pioneered the use of 'lawfare' (the use of law as a weapon of war) that has subsequently been utilized by the US in its 'war on terror', and that this was achieved through the interaction of the International Law Department (a military legal unit of the IDF), the Israeli High Court of Justice, and Israeli human rights NGOs – all three of which form an intricate interrelationship that she analyses through the concept of Bourdieu's 'sociology of the field'. The thesis analyses the developments of this historically, but builds up to a focus on the 2008/9 war on Gaza ('Operation Cast Lead'), where the reinterpretation of the distinction between 'civilians' and 'combatant' as well as 'proportionality' allowed the most extreme use of violence ever used against Palestinians to take place – but in the context of the most extensive involvement of lawyers to date. The author freely and openly acknowledges the pioneering empirical research of Eyal Weizman. The originality, however, lies in the theoretical framework the author develops. By utilising Bourdieu's 'sociology of the field' to argue for a reinterpretation of law as a reflexive practice, thus critiquing conceptions of law (both formalism and legalism) as well as the regularly utilized dualistic framework that regards law as either a preventative or a regulatory force, the author develops a novel framework for analyzing law as a socially dynamic practice – which should be acknowledged and commended.

The Negotiated State: State – Society Relations In Lebanon
Overall, Dr. Mouawad's thesis, entitled "The Negotiated State – State-Society Relations in Lebanon"—is an outstanding, original and superbly researched study on contemporary Lebanese politics and society. Its focus on how the Lebanese state is narrated, practised, and received/resisted is a very welcome addition to the literature on Lebanon and the nature of the state in the MENA region more generally. By its sophisticated and nuanced perspective, the thesis provides a viable analytical alternative to the contested and arguably unfruitful notion of the 'weak state'. The thesis is littered with insightful observations, and rich in empirical detail blending primary and secondary sources with truly excellent fieldwork. The chapters on the Litani River project and on local projects in the Akkar region are particularly strong in providing a nuanced account and analysis of the ways in which the state in Lebanon functions and presents itself….This thesis is of a very high standard that current books on the topic – in Lebanon and the region more generally – have not been able to match. As the thesis is embedded in a perceptive reading of social science approaches to state and society….the thesis when published will also gain traction beyond Middle East studies and finally grant Lebanon a place in the comparative study of the state by no longer serving as the archetypical (or even caricatured) example of the 'failed state'. To the extent that policymakers continue to anchor their own approaches to the Middle East and beyond in the notion of the 'failed state', Dr. Mouawad's study will come highly recommended.

Rethinking religio-politics in Turkey through the prism of religious majoritarianism
This dissertation is an effective and critical engagement with much of the literature concerning the relationship between religion and state in Turkey. As such, it traces the ways in which Islam has been very much part of public discourse and institutionally embedded in the structures of the state, even when the state has been represented as being at its most 'secular'. This emerges from and elaborates a set of questions that problematize how one might understand 'the state' as a general category, not simply in its Turkish incarnation, and uses productively the concept of majoritarianism to reconceptualise the place of Islam in Turkey's public life. This is all persuasively developed, but ….the reconceptualization of the state might have been usefully taken further. Nevertheless, there is evidence here of the systematic use of original sources and a great deal of detail on different aspects of the question, grounded in an exceptionally well-informed and sensitive understanding of the dynamics of Turkey's modern history and political condition.
Jamal Bahmad (University of Stirling)
Casablanca belongs to Us: globalisation, everyday life and postcolonial subjectivity in Moroccan cinema since the 1990s
This is an outstanding and original work that makes a substantial contribution to diverse fields of knowledge. Using the medium of film, and an authoritative understanding of the principles of film studies, Dr Bahmad engages effectively with the social and political processes that have been so much a feature of contemporary Morocco and that are the outcome of the transformations set in motion throughout the country. By choosing as a focus the city of Casablanca he provides us with a detailed and sensitive understanding of the ways in which power, space and social fabric have interacted in the city – and the ways in which contemporary Moroccan film makers have sought to capture these emblematic changes, using them to represent and to understand these processes throughout the country, and the tensions to which they have given rise. This analysis is underpinned by a lively engagement with social theory that provides the basis for a fine-grained and richly sourced body of cinematographic evidence. This results in one of the richest and most deep-rooted interpretations of the currents of power, resistance and self-understanding in Morocco that are presently available. A real tour de force.

Palestinian Political Factions: an everyday perspective
A seriously interesting dissertation of considerable originality in conception and execution. It has a strong argument that is theoretically informed with an approach well suited to the support of the thesis. The ethnographic method is well thought out and justified and, most importantly, provides outstanding insights in ways that allow the writer to advance and develop the larger themes that emerge from this....It is one of the most impressive pieces of work that I have read concerning the ways in which imagined structures come to take on a reality, despite their mythic origins, through the practices of those who help to create them, even while opposing what it is that 'they' are supposed to be doing. This does two things of considerable significance for wider political arguments: it places thought in context, demonstrating how ideas of practices, and practices as the embodiment of ideas can bring new institutions and networks into being as mediators of power; it can be used as a way of developing critical reappraisals of other structures that appear to frame and bound political life, such as the state itself.....The rich and original research provides a clear setting and a substantial backing for a complex and multi-faceted argument.

Policing Disputes: power and social order in Jordan
This work is to be commended for its originality and for taking a question and an approach that has rarely been used before to such good effect. It opens new ground by examining aspects of power and administration in Jordan that have never been subjected before to such searching and thoughtful scrutiny. By making a close and sensitive study of policing in Jordan the writer throws light on processes of policing, authority, social interaction, state power and coercion that go far beyond the stereotypes and treats policing as a social activity with complex repercussions in Jordanian society, sometimes producing unexpected observations..... The writer is to be congratulated on the outstanding nature of the research and the excellent use made of it in the framing of the argument. The clarity of expression is also to be commended, avoiding jargon and communicating both the empirical evidence, but also some complex arguments with skill and authority.

Negotiating Abbasid Modernity: the case of Al-Asma'i and the Rearguard Poets
This is a sound and meticulous piece of scholarship, demonstrating extensive knowledge of the genre. Through close reading of both the texts and the contexts of poetry and criticism in this key period of dynastic transition the dissertation throws a searching light onto an important aspect of literary production at this time. In particular, the dissertation brings out well the philological, as well as the genre-specific aspects of the work of these poets whose work has been grouped together.... there is no denying the depth and seriousness of the research that has gone into this and the extent to which it has brought together work that has rarely been subjected to such careful examination. In particular, the skill of the author in situating the works of these poets, and of the critics, within the changing cultural landscape of the early Abbasid empire is marked and goes a long way toward explaining the distinguishing characteristics of this curiously – and ambiguously – named grouping of poets. The author succeeds in linking word usage and the development of imagery to the commonalities of an oeuvre that suggested to critics a unity of style, and possibly of purpose that helps to define the grouping. The dissertation, as well as being a close and authoritative study of the poets' output, their use of language, the models they followed and the nature of their craft, also provides some key insights into a moment of transition that was to reverberate through Islamic and Arab history.
British intelligence, counter-subversion and 'Informal Empire' in the Middle East
(Aberystwyth University, 2013)
An original and thoughtful exploration of a little studied subject...Demonstrates an excellent feel for the period and the forces at work, as well as a commendable sensitivity of interpretation. It is grounded in a good understanding not only of some of the larger issues at stake, but also of the theories of historiography and of IR
within which the argument is set...In particular, the approach to and handling of the sometimes fragmentary sources in this deliberately inaccessible field is
highly commended, showing an exemplary determination, but also developing a balanced argument that takes into account some of the inevitable silences or
absences in the archival record. Overcoming this, the dissertation nevertheless makes a very plausible case for the direction of British intelligence
operations in the Middle East during the Cold War – and lays out also some of the unforeseen consequences that followed from some of the measures taken to
deal with what were then perceived to be immediate and all-consuming dangers. A salutary warning against some of the costs of more recent responses to security
panics in the region.
Iran's troubled tunes: music as politics in the Islamic Republic
(University of Oxford, 2013)
A real tour de force that breaks new ground in the study not simply of music in Iran, but also in the constitution and development of the public sphere in the Islamic Republic. Engaging fully in the theoretical debates that have characterised studies of cultural production and their link with various systems of power production,
the dissertation succeeds in using wholly original material effectively and well. The treatment of this material on a number of levels is thoughtful, sensitive and displays a finely attuned ear that can bring out the nuance of language, as well as musical genres.... The rich empirical material is wonderfully used, not merely to illustrate, but also to develop a set of arguments about culture and power, and about the political dynamics of contemporary Iranian society. The interpretative power of the dissertation lies in its ability to draw on a number of disciplines in order to set before the reader an enlightening thesis that restores to the study of Iranian society and
politics the full complexity that it truly merits.
Revolutionary allies: Sino-Egyptian and Sino-Algerian relations in the Bandung decade
(University of Oxford, 2013)
This thesis revisits the era of non-aligned Third World cooperation in a way that brings the subject to life and thereby provides a balanced and productive understanding of some of the major motives and factors at work in shaping relations between China, Egypt, the FLN and then the Algerian Republic. The argument is carefully developed and sustained by a close reading of the Chinese archive...[that] allows a plausible thesis to emerge. In taking seriously both sides of these relationships, the dissertation provides original interpretations and manages to throw new light on a field that has rarely been studied in this detail.
Changing approaches and new structures: German cultural diplomacy in Syria and Lebanon during the late Kaiserreich up to 1918
This is a meticulous study of this era in the Near Eastern diplomacy of the German Kaiserreich, examining both the drivers of these policies in Berlin and the ways in which they played out in the Levant. Following a number of case studies with care and excellent attention to detail, the dissertation builds up a convincing picture of the motivations and the outcomes of these policies of language and technical instruction.... In doing so, it brings to light a series of developments that have been somewhat ignored in the literature, but that helped to constitute the emerging elites and intelligentsia of the Arab provinces in the late Ottoman Empire. It therefore meets an important need in the historical understanding of the Levant in the early 20th century.

Students of Resistance: Palestinian student
mobilization at home and in exile
University of Oxford (2011)
A powerful and original
thesis that examines a subject much generalised about, but rarely studied in
such a serious way. The dissertation
makes a good case for the study of these cohorts of young Palestinians both in
theoretical terms – attaching it to larger understandings of contentious
politics – and in terms of the political history of Palestinians under
occupation and in exile. The thesis is
supported by sound empirical research that links the predicament of the
students to the larger forces shaping Palestinian consciousness and action over
the past few decades.

Globalization, the State and Narrative
Plurality: historiography in Saudi Arabia
SOAS, University of London
This is a work of
extraordinary value and scholarly integrity. It engages effectively with larger
questions of historiography in order to bring to light aspects of Saudi history
that are often overlooked by those who do not have access to these remarkable resources. The author has made extraordinarily good use
of primary materials, assembling an impressive array of local and personal
histories that form a more plural and complex picture of the peoples of Saudi
Arabia than has often been appreciated. This is a truly impressive work that
could serve as a model of its kind and stands as a testimony to the meticulous
scholarship of the author.

War of the Wombs: the history and politics of
fertility policies in Israel, 1948-2010
University of Oxford (2011)
This is an original
dissertation that is ambitious in its scope...but it also deals with an important
topic that has been remarkably little studied in this particular context...It
explores a number of facets of this question that help to illuminate some of
the key processes at work in Israeli politics and society, demonstrating both a
detailed knowledge of these processes, as well as a sound understanding of the
larger questions they raise in terms of theorising about gender politics and

University of Oxford (2011)
A mercifully jargon-free
exploration of some of the features of an emerging Iranian nationalism....[It]
takes its key texts seriously and subjects them to a sound contextual analysis,
demonstrating persuasively the ways in which many of their central ideas were
taken up and used in the service of the Pahlavi monarchy

Kuwait City: urbanisation, the built environment, and the urban experience before and after oil (1716-1986)
SOAS, London University (2011)
An extraordinarily impressive contribution to the fields with which it engages – the historiography of Kuwait and the Gulf, urban history, political economy, spatial politics and the social foundations of power...these are confidently handled, developed and integrated in ways that highlight the originality of the argument...The ambitious historical span of the dissertation allows arguments in all these areas to be fully developed, reinforced by exceptionally thorough and painstaking research, informed throughout by a determination to bring the evidence to bear on a distinct set of theses, taking it far beyond the merely descriptive...As befits such a study, a variety of disciplinary approaches were deployed but to the mutual benefit of each of them, and certainly to the great advantage of the dissertation as a whole. This is an exemplary study of the social and political effects of the dramatic transformations made possible by the exploitation of oil that never loses sight of the human element or of the environment built by successive generations of workers and planners in Kuwait.

Leshem, Noam
Taking Place: spatial history in Israel and the case of Salama/Kefar Shalem
Birkbeck College, London University (2009)
This study of a very specific place is wonderfully deceptive in its focus: it encompasses a topic, or series of topics much greater in scope than its title would suggest. In doing so, it reveals through careful research and argument the processes that have gone into not only the shaping of this place during these years, but also the socio-political setting in which it exists, as well as the kinds of forces that have gone into the making of this reality. Thus, it provides the basis for a wide-ranging and original examination of the history and politics of space, not only in Israel, but also, through its comparative and theoretical sophistication, in very different locations....it has used the insights gained in this meticulous study of the evidence presented here to back up significant arguments about space and power. In doing so, it uses multidisciplinary approaches to excellent effect, bringing out through how space, memory and power are intertwined in ways that can be surprising and revealing of the structures, material and imaginative that shape the social world.

Gender and Conflict Transformation in Palestine: women's political activism between local and international agendas
Exeter University (2011)
Ground-breaking research that brings out the many facets of women's activism in the occupied territories of Palestine....Taking a refreshingly independent approach that is nevertheless grounded in a full understanding of larger questions raised by the subject and by the methodologies so skilfully deployed, the author succeeds in bringing a fresh and original view of the forces at work in Palestine and the particular challenges facing women under occupation....This is a major contribution both to gender studies and to the understanding of the particular dynamics of the politics of Israeli occupation and Palestinian activism and the conflicts that have characterised this relationship. The author engages critically and effectively with some of the principal arguments in the study of conflict, as well as in gender studies, fruitfully interrogating both through the invaluable primary research carried out for the dissertation.

British Archaeologists, Social Networks and the Emergence of a Profession: the social history of British archaeology in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East 1870-1939
University College, London University (2011)
This is a highly original achievement that maps with extraordinary skill and an eye for detail the emergence of the social and political, as well as disciplinary, field of British archaeology in the Middle East...The author is to be congratulated for using so much original material so effectively to create a fine-grained and persuasive account of the ways in which this sector of the profession came into being. It is a valuable contribution not merely to the history of this intimate and elaborate network of individuals, but also to the social history of the British Empire. The links between power and knowledge are well known, but here we have an opportunity to see in startling detail the constitution of the field, the power that went into the making of it and the norms that governed its internal regulation. This is a powerful contribution to the fields of social, intellectual and colonial history that can serve as a model for the examination of other areas and other professional networks at different epochs.

Divergent Pasts, Diverging Choices: foreign policy and nation building in Turkey and Egypt during the 1950s
Oxford University (2010)
A well-developed thesis that successfully integrates the fields of comparative politics and international relations to produce a convincing argument about the nature of foreign policy making under particular historical conditions...It throws light on trends that were equally visible across the world in the period of decolonisation and independence and... [thereby] makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of global political processes beyond the particular case studies....These [Egypt and Turkey] are handled exceptionally well, with a good feel not only for the context of political decision-making in the two countries, but also for the aspirations of their political societies.

Dr Daniel Neep, SOAS, University of London
Colonising Violence: Space, insurgency and subjectivity in French Mandate Syria
The dissertation pursues the idea that practices of violence produce modernity….No-one has taken this approach very far with regard to Syria, or with regard to French colonialism in the Middle East, or with such a particular and developed focus on violence itself. The way in which Neep formulates his question and pursues his theme is therefore seriously distinctive….this is a thesis of striking, first class originality. The research is meticulous, the evidence rich, well-tied to the arguments, and well-organized;…The thesis is remarkably lucid;[and] clearly outstanding.

The Palestinian Option:; Israel and the West Bank Leadership, 1967-1969
This affords the reader a detailed and scrupulously researched account of negotiations between Israel and various Palestinian interlocutors, as well as the King of Jordan in the eighteen months or so following the war of 1967….It provides an unparalleled insight into the ways in which the Israeli government effectively resisted external pressure to relinquish the territories occupied during the war…based on exhaustive and well organised use of a variety of archives, as well as on a wide-ranging set of interviews...It is an exceptional piece of research

Turkâyé: Turkic Peoples in Syriac Literature Prior to the Seljüks
This is an outstanding piece of work in a field which is grossly under-researched, the perception of the Turks as seen by the Syriac-speaking Christians of the areas they entered. It displays an extraordinary grasp of sources not only in Syriac but in several other relevant languages, combined with a historical analysis of a high order and an intimate knowledge of the Eastern Turkic/Central Asian regions involved. This is really serious scholarship of a kind which will stand for many decades, if not longer.

Astrology in Literature: How the Prohibited became Permissible in the Arabic Poetry of the Mediaeval Period
This is an original and substantial work of scholarship that uses literary evidence effectively to illuminate social and philosophical attitudes during the Umayyad and Abbasid periods. Taking the theme of astrology, and changing views of the acceptability of its various forms, the dissertation convincingly demonstrates the enduring power of astrology in shaping beliefs about destiny, despite condemnation by orthodox religious scholars...An impressive range of primary sources adds to the authority of the dissertation.

The Politics of Neglect: the Egyptian State in Cairo, 1974-98 This is an original and theoretically engaged work which looks at the modes of governance in Egypt from a fresh perspective...The thesis develops a plausible and interesting argument about the nature of the power exercised by the Egyptian state, setting this within important current debates in the discipline....It supports this with detailed and meticulous empirical research which adds considerable credence to the thesis, investigating aspects of urban power in Cairo that have rarely been examined in this way and thereby making an original contribution to our understanding of the workings of politics in Egypt, with significant implications for understandings of the state elsewhere...It is a highly accomplished work.

The Dhabih Allah as Metaphor for Self-Submission: a critical reassessment of the sacrifice narrative in Q. 37:99-113 A remarkable thesis which approaches the topic both with specialist textual knowledge and with an interpretative imagination informed by a range of different disciplines...this multidisciplinary approach results in a rich and stimulating interpretation, showing considerable innovation and originality...It sets the sacrifice narrative in a comparative setting, bringing out historical parallels, but also the symbolic and metaphorical aspects which provide a semiotic key of some power.

The Infrastructure of Informal Empire: a study of Britain's Native Agency in Bahrain, c. 1816-1900
This is a detailed and original study of the British Political Residency in the Persian Gulf during the 19th century. In particular, it studies the role and activities of the 'native agents' employed by the British in Bahrain during this period to protect and further British interests. The Native Agency was headed during these years by a succession of affluent men from Arab, Persian and Indian merchant families who acted as agents for Great Britain in their dealings with local society, both political and commercial. Through the meticulous use of family archives and local, as well as British sources, the dissertation succeeds in rescuing from obscurity these key actors in the British imperial system. As such it also engages with larger questions concerning the historiography of British India and of the British Empire. It presents a persuasive and well-grounded study which leads the way for a re-examination of the nature of British imperial power in the Persian Gulf during the 19th century. The clarity of exposition and the detailed use of sources were particularly commended.

Global miners and mining equipment stocks edged higher Wednesday after China reported imports of coal and iron ore soared past estimates to new record highs in January.
Iron ore imports by the world's largest ore consumer rose 18% over December levels, 12% above November's record high and 32% above year-ago levels. China's ore stockpiles rose to near record highs, despite weak demand and prices for steel.
Coal imports rose a more modest 1.2% over record high shipments in December and 18% over last January. Prices for both thermal (used in power production) and metallurgical coal (for steel production) remain very weak.
The weak prices and uncertain demand outlook for both ore and coal led at least some analysts to speculate the stockpiles were being leveraged as collateral for loans as Chinese regulators crack down on the country's shadow-banking sector, made up of nonbank entities that provide black-market loans.
Shaky industry fundamentals have also kept a lid on stock performance and, more important, new orders for equipment makers.
At the top of that list, Caterpillar (CAT) initially rose 2% Wednesday, then pared to a 1% gain in solid trade. The Peoria, Ill., heavyweight, which takes in 70% of its revenue from overseas, reported its first profit gain (up 5%) in five quarters in Q4. But revenue declined for a fifth quarter. The company said it expects mining equipment sales to slip another 5% in 2014, with construction and power equipment sales forecast to add 5% each.
Caterpillar has been scooping through a yearlong 22% deep consolidation.
Terex (TEX) and crane maker Manitowoc (MTW) jumped more than 4% each in strong trade before settling back. Manitowoc, the group's top-rated stock, sees about half its revenue from overseas — most of it from Europe. It is extended after a powerful rebound from 10-week support in January.
On the miners side, iron ore miner Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) pared gains, but still ended ahead 2%. Rio Tinto (RIO) spun up more than 1% in heavy trade, giving it a 3% gain for the week. The U.K.-based miner has been climbing off a July low, is showing strong accumulation and is within 4% of its January 2013 high. Earnings growth remains very weak.
Australia's BHP Billiton (BHP) drifted a fraction higher as it leans toward a third straight weekly advance.

It is billed as the Olympics of the mind. As the world's athletes flew home from Britain last week, competitors of a different kind were gathering just across the English Channel for an international contest of their own: the World Mind Sports Games.
On the Saturday morning of the Cornwall extravaganza (Sep 15) there will be a teaching event run by myself and Tony Atkins, with material by Ian Marsh.
If anyone who will be attending would like their game analysed (and I would urge you to do this, it is a very useful teaching technique) please email me a SGF version of the game and we will try to have a look at it.
We have received the following announcement from the IGF:
Congratulation to Vanessa Wong on her becoming No. 1 in the UK ratings, replacing Bei Ge who overtook long-time top player Matthew Macfadyen who had a bad tournament at the London Open 2011.
Just a small caution: only the Team event of the three WMSG events Vanessa took part it has so far been included in the rating list...
On the last day of play at the World Mind Sports Games the finals and play-offs were staggered so you could watch more than one on Pandanet and EuroGoTV and so that some of the winners could catch evening flights.
The first event to end was the Pair Go.
In the Youth, Tian Ren Chen won a third game by beating a French 3d. Henry Clay lost to a Brazilian 1d to end on 2 wins. Vanessa Wong lost to a Japanese 6d to end on 2 wins and 23rd place.
Three players form Chinese Taipei and one from Hong Kong qualified for the semi-finals.
We've just been notified that the 3rd Pandanet Go European Team Championship will start soon, the first rounds to be played in September 2012. The previous two years have been very successful and the finals were hard-fought and exciting. The format will be the same: League games played on the Pandanet IGS and the finals in the EGC 2013 in Olsztyn, Poland.
With one round left to go Chinese Taipei were dominating the top of both the Youth and The Pair Go tournaments.
In the Pairs, Martha McGill and Matthew Crosby picked up a second win beating a Romanian pair, whilst Alison and Simon Bexfield remained on 1 win.
The 42 player Youth Tournament and the 20 team Pair Go Tournament got underway at the WMSG in Lille.
In the Youth, the UK players (Vanessa Wong, Henry Clay and Tian Ren Chen) all won one game out of two on the first day.
In A Group of the Pairs, Martha McGill and Matthew Crosby lost their first game against Americans and won their second against a Dutch pair.

Undermined: The fuel package announced by Gordon Brown could be derailed by power suppliers
Gordon Brown's £1billion fuel package, which will allow everyone in Britain to insulate their home for half the price, could be derailed by power suppliers passing on the costs to consumers.
Despite the Prime Minister's assurances that no one would have to pay more to fund the plans, his stance was undermined within hours by an energy industry representative claiming 'the bill always ends up with the customer'.
David Porter, chief executive of the Association of Electricity Producers, told BBC Radio 4's World At One: 'They (the companies) will try to contain this because they have to, but it remains to be seen just how much of it ends up on the customers' bill in the longer run.
'In the end somebody has got to pay for this.'
Mr Porter later told the Daily Mail that he was referring to firms which produce power rather than supply it.
However, five of the 'big six' energy giants are members of his organisation.
Announcing the measures yesterday, Mr Brown said four million of the poorest parents, pensioners and the disabled would be in line for emergency cash payments if there is a severe winter.
He also revealed that power suppliers have agreed to freeze the tariffs of 500,000 of the worst-off households.
Other key features include:
Free cavity wall and loft insulation for pensioners and poor households, with 50 per cent off for everyone else;
Action to ensure households on pre-payment meters are not being ripped off and moving 600,000 low income families to cheaper tariffs by the end of the year;
Cold weather payments to go up from £8.50 to £25 a week to those eligible if temperatures drop below zero for seven consecutive days.
Of the £910million from energy firms, £560million will be invested in the existing carbon emissions reduction target scheme, which funds subsidised energy-saving improvements for all homes.
The remaining £350million will be spent on a community energy-saving scheme.
The cost of increasing cold weather payments is estimated at £16million.
Energy cost-cutting: How savings can be made
Last year, 472,000 people received at least one emergency payment when temperatures fell below freezing.
Mr Brown insisted yesterday that the costs would not be passed on to the consumer, and claimed helping households insulate their homes was a 'better way' to tackle the problem than one-off handouts.
However, ministers were forced to admit last night that they would be unable to stop energy firms increasing their tariffs if they wanted to.
Business Secretary John Hutton said: 'Of course they are able to, the question is whether they are going to. We don't have powers to fix energy prices.'
'The suit is £200, sir – but
I'm afraid the cavity
insulation brings it to
double that'
Critics also warned the package will offer no immediate help to the 5.4million living in fuel poverty.
They claimed millions will face a nightmare choice this winter between heating and eating.
Mervyn Kohler, of Help The Aged, said: 'This is a flimsy and failing package which does little to help older people struggling to cope with soaring fuel bills. Older people need help as the winter months approach.'
The Prime Minister is also facing pressure from the unions, who have insisted they will continue to press for a windfall tax on energy firms.
Unite general secretary Derek Simpson said: 'The energy companies are laughing all the way to the bank while hard-working families are going to struggle this winter.'
Rebel MP Frank Field, who led the 10p tax revolt, said: 'The Government has spent all summer roaring about the package it will produce and now out pops a mouse of a proposal that will probably do very little for many of the poorest pensioners.'
But the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors said: 'This is a significant step in the right direction.
'Unlike one-off handouts, the energy efficiency measures could cut energy bills by as much as 20 per cent year after year.'
Helping hand: Six million homes will be insulated by 2011 under the programme which hopes to achieve long-lasting energy savings

The downside of giving someone your heart, as with any precious object, is that they may return it broken. It takes two years to become functional again after a broken heart and seven to really get over someone (substitute days for years if you are 15 or younger).
The answer to the question "What becomes of the brokenhearted?" is that they mope. Moping is how you move physically when your heart is eight times heavier than normal. Sometimes, when the weather's nice, people go into the garden to mope. These are called lawn mopers.
When a heart breaks, the lungs normally get a good workout. Sobbing is emotional coughing, and a great way of getting someone out of your system. Sobbing can be uncontrollable, and you just have to let the storm pass. But sometimes you can hear yourself sobbing and a small voice says, "That's a very silly noise." If you hear this voice, you're going to be all right.
Often the hardest loves to forget are those that were the most unpleasant. A love so big that it nearly destroyed you is likely to remain with you longer than a love so small it only kept you together once a week for tea. When you break up, you can either heap abuse on the other person or you can say there were irregularities in the interpersonal dynamics. Remember, it's much easier to forget irregularities in interpersonal dynamics.
Love affairs are the saturated fat of emotional life and can cause heart problems. A quadruple heart bypass of friends, alcohol, exercise and food generally work wonders. Rebound relationships often start when you're in emotional freefall. As many wise old parachutists will tell you, wait until you get your feet on the ground before deciding on your next jump.
Having a broken heart is like being a fan of a very bad football team. You suffer continual heartache, but can't start supporting someone else as that would seem disloyal. The solution in both cases is to take up badminton.
Helpful people will give you advice such as, "Take it one day at a time." This is good to know, as otherwise you might be tempted to take it five days at a time. When you've just broken up, it's best to make a clean break of it. Don't write or call or text or fax or communicate in any way. Maybe just a quick call to tell them you won't be communicating, but that's it.

The End of the Grieving (Part 2)Mature
"Understood, my lord," Sylvester replied, still obviously trying to pull his emotions together. Void users and their emotional instability is what gave the Scarred Sanction it's aggressiveness. Why had the Unscarred Creator made such a drawback for such a great power?
Craetor shook his head. He didn't even have the Mystic and he was hating it's shortcomings. He didn't have time for this. He should be preparing for the next day. He would have to go over reports on just what changes or actions the confident had made. According to Galvure's Mandate, the confident were supposed to be something the King could fall back on. Sadly, they were turning out to be an opposing force, much like the two ruling groups in Mar.
"I must go and take care of some business, Sylvester," Craetor told the smaller man, "I will call upon you in a week or so to begin training in Storm. I ask that you reveal nothing about the reason behind this. I, of course, do not expect you to lie. Simply tell anyone who asks that I have neglecting my training all these years and need the stress relief." Sands, he really wasn't lying about that last reason.
Saeron, why did you have to die? Craetor didn't mean his actual death, he meant the change he had undergone. After a year of being king, that noble man that Craetor could rely on for anything had turned into a hateful tyrant who found answers in violence. His good intentions had never wavered, but that was all that stayed the same.
'Guess there is a blessing in that,' Craetor thought to himself as he walked from the training grounds. 'His change made this assassination much easier to deal with.' Truthfully, it had. He only thought it had at the beginning, since he was only shocked about the possibility of Monstroth being a perpetrator, but now he knew for certain.
Craetor did not feel anything over his brother's death.
He should feel bad for that. He knew he should. Instead, all he could do was worry about the confident's actions during this month of grieving and his son's safety as an apprentice. Well, that was normal for a king and a father. But... had Craetor failed as a brother?
It was an hour before Craetor reached his quarters. Being a Frae, his room was in the central tower that stretched through the very center of the castle and of the Capitol City, even. Had he not been used to living here, Craetor might have refused the room. After all, he hated heights.
"My lord."
Craetor nodded to the Earth Guard that he passed. Dressed in heavy stone armor, they were the finest Mineral Users and warriors that existed in Faerein. Maybe even the world. Captain Rae - the female leader of the Earth Guard - could even compete with Monstroth. Since he was, in fact, the next Sovereign of Mineral, that was something that could not be taken lightly.
The stairs to the Frae tower opened before him. Unlike Monstroth in his heavy steel armor, Craetor preferred a lighter wear. His son had often wondered why. It was something most thought to represent Craetor's presence as a political leader, but that was not true. It was because of these stairs.
The Earth Guards followed behind.
"My lord, we have checked every inch of the tower and made sure that no one has entered with Void Mystics."
Craetor nodded. The Earth Guard weren't just powerful, they were smart. Void users, Craetor had learned, can only use their Voidgates safely when moving to a place they already knew. If they tried to move themselves to a place they had never seen... Well, they could end up meshed into a wall.
A shiver ran down Craetor's spine. The image of a dead man sticking halfway through his wall was something he did not wish to see. Instead, he wanted to see the confident grinding their teeth as Craetor outmaneuvered them.
Then an idea formed.
"What are your names?" Craetor asked the two Earth Guard that followed him.
"Our names, my lord?" one of them answered. In their stone armor, which covered quite literally every part of their body, Craetor couldn't tell a difference between the two of them.
"Yes, I would like to know who it is that puts their life on the line for the sake of this kingdom." Craetor gave the two of them a smile in turn. He could not be gentle like Monstroth was to the children he spoiled so often, but he could be pleasant.
The Earth Guard to his right seemed to hesitate, looking to his comrade before answering. "My name is Corin Heron Stonerei," he said, trying to hide his nervousness.
"Stonerei is the name given to all the Earth Guard when they enter, correct?" Craetor asked Corin. The man gave a quick nod. "How did you receive the name Heron?" That name was only given to people who had performed courageous acts. The heron was a bird that one of the Scarred Father's Firstborn had used as his symbol. Due to his constant acts of heroism, that symbol became one for heroes in general.
Corin seemed at a loss for words. "M-my lord, surely it is impolite to tell the story of such a lowly guard like-"
Craetor cut him off with a growl. "I am not the late king, Corin," he snapped, "Each and every man has an equal value. I'll lead the people and you'll protect them. How are either of use more or less important." The Guard nodded, obviously not sure how to take the words Craetor said, thought his face was still hidden. "Now, your story?"
"It was... three years ago? No, maybe four. I was assigned to watch a member of the confident. There were some kids playing in an abandoned house on the street we had been passing." Corin shook his head, as if annoyed at something. "I knew I should have let the regular guards help when the building started to collapse, but I just moved. That confident member was nice enough to pardon me for abandoning my duties, at least."
"So, you saved some kids from a collapsing building?"
"Yes, sir, though..."
"Good man!" Craetor smiled. "My son would have loved to hear that story, you know. You should tell it to him when he returns for a visit." If he returned. Craetor turned to the other guard, who had remained silent. "And your name?"
"Roger Stonerei, my lord," the man said. His voice seemed to be the sound a rock would make if it talked. Cold and hard, like a veteran. But what kind of name was Roger? It sounded like a name given to one of the Lizard loving men in the Western Peninsula. Odd.
"It's good to know your name, Roger," Craetor said, shoving his thoughts aside. "I hope you will not see me as you did the last king." He refused to say that man was his brother. His brother had died years ago, that man was just a shadow.

At midday at La Guardia Airport's main terminal, Louis Mercado was waiting for a plane to fly home to Orlando. He had come to New York for the weekend to attend a memorial service for his son Steve Mercado, a firefighter who was among those missing from the World Trade Center disaster.
Mr. Mercado was wearing a hat with F.D.N.Y. and the numbers of his son's fire company on it. He was also wearing a Fire Department sweatshirt with a message in memory of his son, who worked for Engine 40, Ladder 35.
Mr. Mercado said that he and his wife, Mary, were here for six weeks just after Sept. 11, then they went home to Deltona, Fla., near Orlando. They flew back on Friday to attend the memorial service on Saturday.
Mr. Mercado, in an airport full of jittery travelers, was asked about his mood. ''This incident is nothing compared to the last couple of months,'' he said. EDWARD WYATTContinue reading the main story

It's Official Zio-Occupied White House and DHS Behind #OWS Thug Crackdowns Nationwide
Views: 1765
and anyone is surprised?
There were arrests today at about 3:15 AM at the location in El Paso, Texas. Six people were arrested by El Paso PD.
This is the encroaching police state Americans are dealing with...
Becoming more apparent every day.
Living close to Oakland Ca, you come to realize that the Mayor of Oakland Jean Quan is playing both sides.
She knows the Oakland P.D. is going to break the Occupy camp, yet after the action takes place she denies any prior knowledge of the police action.
Oakland is in (to put it mildly) disarray after having Ron Dellums and Jerry Brown as past Mayor's.
Now to complicate matters enter Jean Quan.
This city has been undergoing creeping death for a long time.
The politicians care more about their football team than their community.
Both are in a shambles.
What surprises me is, all of Breserkley (Berkeley) isn't in Oakland showing their support of the movement.
I just think we are finally beginning to see the manifestation of the police state that has been growing around us -
November 15, 2011 at 16:12 (Activism, Civil Liberties, Civil Rights, Class Struggle, Corrupt Politics, Democracy, Dictatorship, fascism, Occupy Wall Street, Photography, Police Brutality)
I think the 10,000 in Portland scared them too much
When it's, "Occupy the White House" then I'll get excited.
We have had a report from an Arizona Oath Keeper that on 11/03 at approx 4:30AM, the police in Oakland, San Diego, and Nashville converged on the sleeping OWS encampments, and began attacking the protestors w/ flash-bangs in tents, clubs, and general brutality. The observer stated to me that the actions in all 3 cities commenced simultaneously, and was obviously a coordinated assault. This is a know fact, because the observer was watching 3 computer screens with live feeds on all 3.
The observer then called and complained to the police departments at all 3 cities, and after he or she identified themselves was told that they operators had no knowledge of those events, and the feeds went black each one in 5 minute intervals!!!
I believe these police actions are being coordinated at the highest levels of the US gov't, and I think that goes for the OWS protestors as well. It has been proven that several of George Soros' proxies organizations have sponsored and contributed heavily to the OWS coffers! Are most of the protestors in his pocket? Of course not, but that does not mean that there isn't an effort coordinated at much higher levels than the street to cause the circumstances where Operation Garden Plot could be called on the American People!
If you don't know that name, I suggest you research it, and judge for yourself! Janet Napolitano is in this up to her eyeballs, and everyone knows that she does not even wipe her butt w/out permission from the Dictator -In-Chief!
So, if Janet is following orders emanating from the Pres, coordinating the efforts of LE nationwide in dealing with the OWS, and George Soros has put lots of money into the OWS protests, whatis the end game on all this? What are those people hoping to achieve? I think I know, but this is probably something that others should come to on their own!

Widely scattered moderate to isolated strong from 02N to 06N between 16W and 21W. Isolated moderate to locally strong elsewhere from 10N southward from 53W eastward. ...DISCUSSION... ...THE GULF OF MEXICO... Upper level cyclonic wind flow covers the Gulf of Mexico, thanks to a trough that cuts through the U.S.A. just to the east of the Mississippi River, into the central sections of the Gulf of Mexico. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery, to the NW and N of the line that passes through 30N81W 23N87W 25N97W. Multilayered clouds and lingering/weakening precipitation are in the areas that are to the S and SE of the 30N81W 25N97W line. A cold front passes through the Florida Big Bend, into the central Gulf of Mexico, toward 21N97W at the coast of Mexico. A surface trough is along 25N86W 22N89W 19N90W in the southern part of the Yucatan Peninsula. ...CURRENT CONDITIONS AND WEATHER, FOR THE OFFSHORE OIL PLATFORM SITES, THAT ARE IN THE AREA WHOSE BOUNDARIES ARE FROM 27N NORTHWARD AND FROM 88W WESTWARD...

An upper level trough passes through the Mona Passage, to just to the south of Hispaniola, to 15N74W. A shear line continues from 15N74W to Costa Rica. Convective precipitation: rainshowers are possible from 19N southward between 73W and 84W. Convective precipitation: scattered moderate to strong from 14N to 20N between 87W and 100W, from Honduras to southern Mexico. Widely scattered moderate in the NW corner of the Caribbean Sea from Honduras to 20N from 83W westward. The monsoon trough is along 09N80W in Panama, beyond NW Costa Rica. Convective precipitation: scattered to numerous strong between 82W and the coasts of Costa Rica and Nicaragua from 10N to 12N. Isolated moderate elsewhere from 13N southward from 76W westward. ...HISPANIOLA... Upper level W-to-NW wind flow is moving across the area. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS...for the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Santo Domingo: VFR. La Romana and Punta Cana: VFR. Santiago: VFR. Puerto Plata: VFR. The GFS MODEL forecast for 250 mb shows that NW wind flow will continue across Hispaniola for the next 48 hours. The earlier trough has moved to the east of Hispaniola, bringing with it the NW wind flow on the western side. A ridge will bring more NW wind flow to Hispaniola during day two. The ridge will flatten out a bit, gradually, during day two, and still bringing NW wind flow to the area. The GFS MODEL forecast for 500 mb shows that an anticyclonic circulation center will be on top of Hispaniola for the first 18 hours or so of the overall 48-hour forecast period. The anticyclonic circulation center will move westward, bring NE wind flow to Hispaniola for the rest of the time. The GFS MODEL forecast for 700 mb shows that an anticyclonic circulation center will be to the NE of Hispaniola at the start of the 48-hour forecast period. Expect SE wind flow for the first 18 hours or so. The anticyclonic circulation center is forecast to move northward, and then become stretched out/elongated as a ridge, along a NE-to-SW oriented line. Expect NE wind flow across Hispaniola for the rest of the forecast period. ...THE ATLANTIC OCEAN... An eastern Atlantic Ocean upper level trough passes through the area that is just to the west of the Madeira Archipelago, to 20N40W and to 13N50W. The trough supports a cold front that passes through 32N23W to 28N30W 26N36W and 21N43W. Convective precipitation: rainshowers are possible within 90 nm on either side of the line that passes through 32N22W 28N30W 27N36W 20N50W. A surface ridge extends from a 1028 mb high pressure center that is near 33N44W, to 29N58W, to 24N71W, across Cuba, to 21N82W in the NW corner of the Caribbean Sea.

Sun: Saving Power with Solaris 10 and UltraSPARC T2 ^
Following IBM, Sun Microsystems has now launched a power-saving initiative for servers.
The campaign, dubbed "Eco Innovation Initiative" and following on from the 2005 Eco Responsibility Initiative, can be seen as an attempt by Sun to make it easier for customers to save power. To this end the company offers a package deal comprising virtualization technologies on the basis of the new Sun UltraSPARC T2 processor with eight cores and Solaris 10, along with optimizations to cooling and other consumers.
Sun also intends to set a good example with its own three new data centers in Clara, California, Backwater, Great Britain and Bangalore India. According to Sun the new buildings will help to reduce the floorspace of Sun's global data centers from 267,000 square meters to 133,000 square meters, and save US$ 1.1 m in energy bills in 2007. Consolidation will reduce energy consumption by a farther 30 percent in the 2008 business year. Sun has documented its internal savings: the power savings offer is on the company's website.

Description from owner
Perelik Palace is a ultra-luxury 4/5 star apartment complex, and is a skiing and walking dream come true providing EXCELLENT value for money for families. Located in the Western Rhodopean Mountains near the traditional village of Stoykite, it is surrounded by beautiful lush pine forests and green meadows, and yet it is only a short distance away from the new six-man chairlift and a new 7.5 kilometre piste which runs from the very top and at the very heart of the Pamporovo ski slopes. The views from the complex are nothing short of breathtaking - looking south across the Rhodope mountains towards Greece and the Aegean Sea. You can consider a holiday at Perelik Palace Spa Hotel at any time of the year as there is always something to offer. Winter is obviously the time to come for the fantastic winter sports on offer (Skiing, Skidoos, Snow Shoeing, Quad bikes etc), whereas spring, summer and autumn provides beautiful weather and fantastic hiking, walking, horse riding and trekking possibilities.

Location description from owner
The Smolyan Province region
The Western Rhodope mountains are both beautiful and mystical, and lie just north of the border with Greece. They are host to many species of flora and fauna and are largely unspoilt and very tranquil. The winter and summer weather is exceptional with good winter snowfall and long periods of beautiful winter sunshine. In the summer the climate is Mediterranean in nature with an excellent sun record. You can expect to enjoy hot summer days and cool evenings.
There are many tourist attractions and great summer and winter sports pursuits for the adventureful traveller.
The area boasts beautiful unspoilt wooded mountains and valleys with lovely tree lined pistes. Perelik Palace is located in the heart of the walking routes in the Western Rhopean mountains. The Pamporovo Ski resort is being developed into a super-resort with many new runs and lifts which will eventually make it one of the best ski locations in Eastern Europe. The Skiing is excellent for beginners, novices and intermediates, but there are also excellent serious black runs as well as some great off-piste adventures.
Stoikite is a traditional Bulgarian mountain village with local shops and services. Pamporovo is a lively alpine flavoured ski resort with many good restaurants and bars and hotels and has good entertainment and apre-ski offerings.
Smolyan is the nearest large regional town with excellent amenities and good shopping, restaurants and Bars
Prices in Bulgaria are still very good value and you can expect prices to be about half of that you may experience in typical French or Austrian resorts (goods, services and food). This also applies to ski lift passes, ski equipment hire, and ski tuition. Perelik Palace is a stunning new 4/5 star apartment complex and is set in a beautiful and tranquil location and yet is only a short distance from the new 6 man ski lift.

"Beautiful apartment, excellent value for money"
Just returned from a great skiing holiday in Bulgaria. The impressive apartment was beautifully appointed, clean and spacious with loads of natural light in the open-plan living area. We also rented the apartment next door as a group of 9. That too was very light and spacious. The hotel complex itself was well run but the sky bar and night club were never open. Although the apartment is fully self catering, we used the hotel restaurant each night which had a very varied menu and was excellent value for money. The food was good. The nearest small food shop is about a 25 minute walk and quite basic so if you have no car and you wish to self cater, it would be worth doing a shop at a supermarket on your transfer. Also, there are no loo rolls provided! The resort was excellent value for money. Lunch and several drinks on the mountain for 10 was about 100 to 140 levs. The ski hire shop (Avils) is adjacent to the 6 man chair lift along with the lift pass kiosk. They are extremely helpful and you leave your ski's and boots with them at the end of each day so you don't have to carry them anywhere. It is a 10 minute walk from the apartment to the chair lift once you have worked out the route!! It,s very easy and we walked it most days. The minibus to the apartment is 2 levs pp each way and as it has to go via the roads, it is actually quicker to walk! Really enjoyed the holiday and would definitely recommend especially to those fed up of being ripped off in the Alps! Literally a skiing holiday for half the price with amazing accommodation.
Owner's reply: Sorry about the loo rolls the housekeeping at the hotel should have provided these!; I will get onto it as we do not want our high standards to slip. Glad you had a good time; Bulgaria certainly provides value for money for families
"Great apartment..."
Great apartment well kitted out. Unfortunately just a few minor things such as no toilet roll, bin not emptied in bathroom, the clothes airer kept collapsing and the dvd player would not work properly just niggled. The location stated 500m from the 6 man ski lift in Stoykite. The problem there was that there was so much snow it could not be accessed. Would definitely recommend hiring a car. All in all very pleased with the apartment. Would rent again.
"Excellent skiing, superb accomodation"
We had a lovely week with really good snow. The appartment was stunning. Well equiped, spacious and with wonderful views from all rooms, both living accomodation and bedrooms. The hotel is about a mile from the 6 man lift which is the best lift on the mountain. We managed to drive to the lift station most days in our hire car, but towards the end of the week we used the hotel minibus which cost 2 levs each way. In deep snow this is advisable as the road to the lift is quite steep. Snow chains essential. We used the restaurant each day and could not fault the food or service. Chicken Big Split is highly recommended as are vegetables on grill! The staff are very child orientated if you are travelling with children. The restaurant is non smoking which made all the difference to previous holidays in bulgaria.
"Stunning Apartment & Location"
We stayed in this apartment furing January 2011, and had a really great time. The apartment is very spacious and is very well appointed. What's great about this apartment is that although it is fully self-catered, it is located in a 4/5 star hotel and therefore all the facilities of the hotel are at hand. The hotel staff were courteous and helpful, although their English was a bit limited. Our main problem was understanding the written language which was often (but not always) in cyrillic. The Hotel is located near to a new 6 person ski lift which I believe was built in couple of years ago, and this lift takes you right into the heart of the Pamporovo ski resort. There is also a new piste which runs all the way back to the ski lift. It's possible to walk to and from the ski lift from the hotel on a short forest path, but the hotel provides a regular free courier bus service direct to the lift which is what we used each day. The other great thing about the lift is that they allow non-skiers to use the lift, so that you can meet your non-skiing friends at one of the many restaurants at the top. Beginners and novices can do all their learning at the top of the mountain which is where ski school meets, and then come back on the lift at the end of the day. The apartment owners put us in touch with a local ski instructor and mountain guide who was really good, and he spoke excellent English. He provides tuition for all levels right from beginner to advanced. We met him each day at the top of the lift. At the lift station there is a ski-set shop where you can hire skis and boots etc. It is excellent value compared to other european resorts we have been to, and this is also true of lift passes and general living and eating out costs. We did get a taxi into the Pamporovo resort, but found that the prices of food and drink were very expensive when compared to local prices in the village of Stoikite, and of Smolyan (the nearest large town). The Hotel Perelik Palace was also relatively cheap, our main meal in the excellent restaurant was only 8 Euros ! The food was very good, and the restaurant was very nicely decked out in traditional mountain style. The bars in the hotel were comfortable and pleasant to spend time in, although the one criticism I have was with regard to smoke. In Bulgaria it is still legal to smoke in public places, and this took some getting used to again!
The apartment was huge and luxurious. Everything was very clean and the apartment has been furnished and maintained at a high standard. The apartment was lovely and quiet with amazing views and sunsets. The balconys get the sun most of the day and evening The restaurant in the hotel was lovely with a large a la carte menu which was very cheap and a great wine list. The staff in the restaurant were very helpful and spoke good English. The SPA facilities were very good the only disappointment was the size of the swimming pool which wasn't very big and if a few people were in the pool it was difficult to swim. The hotel also has a huge sun terrace which gets the sun all afternoon with amazing views and the staff were very helpful and available all day. I would recommend hiring a car as most of the walks are a good 10-15 minutes drive away and it makes getting out and about a lot easier as we never saw any buses. Driving in Bulgaria isn't as scary as you think and I do recommend hiring a sat nav as it really does help and also I would get full insurance cover as some of the roads are not very well maintained and it just takes the worry out of going over any bumps in the road etc. Beaware that the maps are not very accurate in Bulgaria but they do give you a bit of a guideline but don't rely on them.

Don't Trust the Mileage
By kitsinni on
Vehicle2007 Honda Civic EX 2dr Coupe w/Navigation System (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
ReviewDon't buy this car for the gas mileage. My car is getting 19 MPG 50% Highway 50% City driving. Dealership says not their problem, Honda of America says not their problem either even if the actual mileage is half the estimate it is not their problem. Extreme glare from the dash on the windshield. IF you buy this car you better be lucky, some get 35 MPG some get 19 MPG and if your one of the lucky ones to only get 19 Honda doesn't think there is any problem. I owned a 2003 KIA Rio Cinco before this and it got better gas mileage then this car, cost $10,000 brand new and was only rated at 25 city 32 highe .. and it got better. Do NOT buy this car for the mileage you will be sorry
Best FeaturesCar is fun to drive, looks nice, has good pickup.
Worst FeaturesDon't set an entire advertising campaign around the MPG of a car that doesn't get anywhere near what you advertise it getting. Don't be fooled.

Investigation continues into downtown canal shooting
The investigation into the weekend shooting on the downtown canal continues Monday.
Indianapolis Metro Police are giving us limited information about who opened fire, striking five teenagers on the canal Saturday night.
Two of the teenagers remained hospitalized Monday afternoon. A 14-year-old boy shot in the chest has been upgraded to serious but stable condition. A 16-year-old girl shot in the upper thigh is also listed as serious but stable.
The other three victims were released from the hospital Sunday.
The gunfire broke out shortly after 10:00 pm Saturday night on the canal near the Historical Society. Police say they have a list of names they are looking into as persons of interest, but they are not making that list public for investigative reasons.
Detectives are still working on a motive but believe it started as an argument between two groups of young people. Police believe the shooter fired from street level, where they found several shell casings. The shooting victims had gathered along the canal below.
Detectives and SWAT team officers served a search warrant at a north Indianapolis location and interviewed several people, but made no arrests. Investigators suspect the shooter is a teenager.
"We cannot have kids bringing guns downtown," said Rev. Charles Harrison.
Harrison and other community leaders met with police Monday morning. They will start canal faith patrols on weekends right away.
"We know who these kids are. We know who these gangs are and when we are down there, we are going to identify them and we are going to address them," said Harrison.
"When the pastors are out there and clearly identified by vest or by shirts, I think that the kids do act different when they see the pastors out there," said IMPD Chief Paul Ciesielski.
People who use the canal want whoever is responsible caught to make sure this doesn't happen again.
"I think after a certain hour I think kids should not be out and I think if they are out the parents should be responsible for it," said Ruth, a canal user.
Suggested Links
"I guess during the day, we come out in groups so I am not real concerned about it. But of course, I would not come out here at night," said Jean.
"That's craziness. The canal is here for everyone to enjoy. You just can't have things like that," said Alan, another canal visitor.
Detectives ask for anyone with information regarding this case to call Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS.
