Romslig, pent og rent. Jernbanestasjon rett over gaten.
Belligenhet, nært til jerbanestasjonen, frokosten er ganske bra til Italia å være. Veldig rent på rommene, og god service i resepsjonen. Rommene begynner å bli noe "slitt". Heisen er en vits i seg selv :-)
Nærheten til jernbanestasjonen var topp for oss siden vi tok tog inn til Venezia. I tillegg at man hadde betjent parkeringsplass rett ved til en pris subsidiert av hotellet til kun 10 Euro for 24 timer. Noe dårlig lukt på badet men dette ble tatt opp ved utsjekking men de må gjøre noe med det for det luktet veldig kloakk.
Trygt for barn. Flott poolområde. Hyggelig personale. Utvalget i minimarkedet var dårlig. Fersk brød fantes ikke, kun pølsebrød og ferdig oppskåret toastloff. I tillegg var det dyrt.
Barna våre var veldig begeistret over Camping Village Jolly spesielt over svømmebassenget og treningshallen det var veldig fint Vi likte ikke at det var så vanskelig å finne fram på grunn av manglende veiskilt vi kom til fots fra Mestre busstasjon
extremely professional staff, wonderful room, amazing location, a simply extraordinary hotel nothing
Location and nice hotel restaurant. We could celebrate the second birthday of our granddaughte with the song of the staff. Expensive
The courtesy of the staff, nothing was too much trouble, the room was fabulous and the food superb. The location was just right, the hotel itself was a fantastic building and the decor was out of this world. No
Definitely the location and the cadre, interior opulent surroundings. Professional and courteous concierge service. Comfortable large bed. The magnificent rooftop terrace. The only reservation was our room which although very large with high ceiling yet was quite dated, some worn out furniture, rusty heating grills, insufficient lighting, and mosquitoes. The bathroom was especially not up to par and to the high standard we expected.
Doing nothing for a week
This is a superb hotel, in a cracking location, litterally a couple of minutes walk from St Mark's Square, and seconds from the airport water bus stop.. The room and public areas were lovely. We saw no evidence of the staff being unhelpful, quite the contrary, they were very efficient, friendly and welcoming. Recommended. Nothing
The fantastic views across the venetian lagoon - main reason for choosing it. Service was also very high - they really wanted to help, even when the hotel was busy. A true 5* luxury hotel for a special occcasion. Everything was very expensive but it is a 5* hotel in Venice so you can expect nothing else! having a room ovrlooking the lagoon was great but you also get the noise - there is a major waterbus stop just outside (24 hour service) and a continuous flood of tourists passing so you are right in the middle of the bustle of Venice. Choose a room without the views ora hotel in a location away from San Marco if you want peace and quiet.
the location, the history and interior fittings of the room,we did not really use any of the facilities we were not there long enough the receptionist said we had a restricted view, this actually meant no view , you could touch the building opposite, this was very dissapointing
The Terrace Breakfast
comfort and design of the room,view breakfast is too expensive
The staff was very rude. Not the standard for a 5 star hotel.
Great location, short walking distance from San Marco and nice shops and restaurants. Very close to the waterbus. Very elegant, clean and breakfast was excellent. I will come back. Everything was great
When we were checking-out the money for our staying the hotel took twice from my credit card.
Conceive is well trained & good -Hotel charges for hot water €7/-!! in room for taking my medicine/ Quality of food for Breakfast not of high grade - similar to canteen
Everythig was absolutely perfect!!!!!!!
Excellent staff help, great position on St Marco, and very near excellent shopping.lso water taxis available right on the doorstep Because of the atreet , the rooms on the canal can be quite noisy.
The hotel was in a good position which enabled us to move around easily. Hotel staff were polite and efficient. Hotel offered 5 star quality and service,
Location ... close to San Marco Square Service was poor. Room facing is poor.
Location of the hotel. Room Front desk staff not freindly though!! Charge eight euro for room service whatever the order is!
Location, location, location. Felt small & discreet. I cannot fault it. (I did not have any meals there, however).
everything no
fine hotel with fair price -
Spacious Room, Ease of access to St Marco Square and bottle of champagne was given for our special stay. Booked a deluxe double room but was given a room on first floor facing another building which is under total renovation, noise starts from 8:00AM, can't sleep well and there is no view from this room, not even city view. Ask for ice buckets at 11:30PM, No one picks the call in Service Express.
The Hotel has excellent location and very good service There are multiple type of 'Canal view' rooms that may not always fit the description.
Very luxurious. Staff wonderful. Central Location on the canal with superb views and private water taxi station right in front. Room service excellent! The Westin sets the bar very high! TV channel selection poor.
The hotel is beautiful like a palace. Location is excellent. They give you the feeling that your money is the most important thing for them. The ask you to sign several forms, preauthorize you credit card, and, it's a shame, lock your minibar during the last night of your stay!
The dependent at the lobby was rude. The room they gave was not ready, there was an empty champaigne bottle with the corresponding dirty glasses. To make matters worse, it was time consuming to resolve. The room we ended up with had two full size beds together, with separate linen for each, instead of a king/queen size bed. The waiters at the bar and common areas were rude. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary. In 30 years this is the most we ever paid for accommodations AND the worst service we've received.
Friendly, great service,comfortable room Difficult to find hotel
Westin Europa & Regina is a wonderful place right on the canal with an amazing staff and facilities Nothing
The hotel staff were cold and rude. The room service was very poor.
The location was excellent and staff was very helpful and supportive. The hotel is well maintained and charming. The room was well serviced. The hotel met all our expectations--beautiful premises in a charming part of Venice, well connected to visit near and somewhat distant sites of interest to tourists. Yes, the wall was water stained. I informed the manager by a note and received no confirmation or follow up.
This hotel was really very great, exactly as you see in the photos and can boast about it's location and all of its qualities. Overall i could only find very minimal points to be picky about which are: 1. the hotel is quite tricky to find (as with a lot of places in Venice), you would think directions would therefore be highlighted/mentioned on their website or when you are sent your booking details. 2. Half of the the breakfast staff were useless and not concerned with helping at all (the other half were completely the opposite and couldn't do enough to help and make it as peasant as possible). 3. The hotel decor and furnishings were probably very finely done at one stage, but things are starting tyo tire and wall trimmings etc starting to peel away, scratches and bumps in too many places.
the whole experience,the terrace off our room was perfect the cost of the cheese and ham toasties at 4:00 am !!
The location was wonderful! The attitude of some of the staff was snooty and the check in and check out process took forever. We were getting off a cruise coming in and there were many people arriving at the the same time but leaving I was left standing for 10 minutes while the clerk fiddled on her computer and noone else was around. To be fair it was the same woman. The conciere also had staff that was either extremely helpful or curt and unresponsive to inquires. The staff was either very pleasant or very disdainful.
Flott standard Senga var "oppskrytt" - stod beskrevet som myk fjærmadrass, men var langt i fra noen myk seng - hard som "stein"...
Fin beliggenhet. Alt var veldig bra, men dyrt.
Starhotels Splendid Venice har en perfekt beliggenhet i Venezia, nydelige rom inspirert av Venezia's kultur og historie. Hotellet har en meget konfortabel og gjestfri salong.
Bra, men dyrt i forhold til sammenlignbare hoteller. Nei
Fint rom og det var forholdsvis reint der At betjeningen på hotellet ser kunden (hotellgjesten) på samme måte som vi i Norge.
sentralt og veldig bra
httel var ok men syns dyt forhold til standard
Fantastisk beliggenhet, rett over togstasjonen inn til venezia. Flott betjening både i resepsjonen, houskeeping og restauranten.
Hotellet lå fint til med kort avstand til de ulike severdighetene. Det var rent og personalet var serviceinnstilt. Hotellet og hotellets restaurant lå ved kanalen der Gondolene stadig gled stille forbi. Her var det mulighet både for opplevelser og avslapping/rekreasjon. Nei, her var det ingenting å klage over.
En fantastisk beliggenhet i hjertet av Venezia. God standard, flott hotellresturant ved kanalen!
Bra frokostservering, sentral plassering, grei service Litt vanskelig å finne frem, må ha en enklere forklaring på hvor hotellet ligger i forhold til enkleste ankomstvei. Ble plassert i et anneks, uforbredt på dette, gi info om dette på nettet. Sjekk at lyspærer er i orden!
beliggenhet bättre rumstäd och frukostbord
Nær flyplass med god standard......... Transport flyplass dårlig organisert.............
Lå sentralt v fergene 20 meter fra S Angelo, NB! dette er viktig når du skal ta ferge dit, ikke kjør til S Marco som alle sier når de ser adressen, kjør til S Angelo. Mye bråk fra air-condition og plagsomme duer og spurver ved frokosten ute i hagen.
Beliggenheten og det sjarmerande typiske Italienske fra gamle dager. I det stora hele var det bra service og mat. Konsekvens på vasking og ferdigstillende av rom for kvelden kan bli bedre. Personalet kan også være litt mer positive og se kunden i sentrum.
Very quiet room and very stylish/modern interiors. Breakfast was very good, too. Not particularly
location,design,very friendly staff nothing
Fantastic hotel with a stunning location in Venice.
Good location. Staff friendly & helpful. Breakfast excellent. Service always readily available. Room small & expensive for what it was. Air conditioning iffy.
kindness of the staff they where working in our hallway with more than 5 persons, ceilings opened etc.
friendly staff, excellent breakfast (very nice terrace!), nice room (though a bit small), good design,
the place is not five stars it s three stars. The terrace is not covered so the birds take all your food, the bathrooms are tiny and the water spills all over, the internet slow.
I thought the hotel staff was extremely pleasant and accomodating. Everything was terrific, however, there was one item to note. One evening while sitting in the bar lounge we ordered an appetizer. For 30 Euro's we got what one could only describe as a match-stick sized spring roll. I thought the portion and price were not consistent. However, the breakfast bar was fantastic.
Very helpful and friendly staff, excellent and quiet location, well equpped and comfortable room with a beautiful view Bathroom on the small side
i like the design of the hotel and the staff were very friendly and very helpful No
Very central location to all that Venice offers and yet the right side of the Grande Canal to get away from all of it and unwind. Right next to Salute water taxi stop. Room was fabulous and staff were very attentive
The best hotel in Athens. We ended up eating both at the roof top Restaurant and Main follow breakfast room and had excellent food, service and views. Highly recommend! Surrounding neighborhood wasn't very upscale
Et sus av fordums storhetstid. Romslige rom, flott utsikt over havet, privat og romatisk. Hotellet har en deilig, avslappende atmosfære og det er lett å kose seg og nyte livet. Servitørene til frokosten var lite oppmerksomme, hadde dårlig tid og glemte det vi spurte om... Ellers nydelig mat, på tross av litt lite utvalg av pålegg til frokosten.
Direkte shuttlebåt til og fra Venezia hver halv time og beliggenhet på flott privat strand.
It is a great place to stay because it is a stone throw away from St. Marks Square. The water bus that took us to the airport stopped right in front of the hotel, which made the it easy for us to travel to the airport with our big suitcases.
All personal were really good
Nothings Really poor management & unfriendly to clients. Description on the website is big different to the actural.
Beautiful old hotel. small rooms, but efficient and comfortable for 2 people. Great decorative touches in the room. Our room had views of the grand canal, with windows that could've opened for a fresh breeze off the water. Breakfast included in the price of stay, and was delicious, with many options on the buffet, fresh made cappuccinos, and views of the water. Extremely easy access to vaporetto, minutes walk from San Marco and many restaurants and shops. Very friendly English speaking staff A con for some: we had to climb 2 flights of stairs to our room even after taking the elevator, which was fine for us, but may be problematic or some; the elevator was tiny, which seems fairly standard for Italy, but good to know. In general recommend packing light, no matter where you stay as navigating over bridges in the city can be challenging with big bags!
My room was amazing Overlooking water Great decor Bathroom was awesome Loved everything. Really!
The location of the hotel was ideal. It is a very short walk to Piazza San Marco. The hotel is also right next to some water ferry stations, which makes transportation easy. The staff serving breakfast were great. Air conditioner was not working.
Take a water taxi to Piazza San Marco and you are only a few steps to the hotel. The hotel included a free boat trip to Murano to see a glass blowing studio and they also offer a one-hour boat tour around town in the afternoon for only 25 Euros per person. A decent hot and cold breakfast buffet was provided by the restaurant out front. We also enjoyed a dinner of traditional Italian specialties at the same restaurant in the evening. Our room was an inside room, so our view was only the courtyard area - but that was okay because all we had to do was step out the front door of the hotel and we were in the heart of beautiful scenery. If you request a waterfront room you will have gorgeous views. Our room seemed to be recently updated because everything looked clean and brand new. The bathroom was small but very modern with a relatively large walk-in shower - and it also looked like it had been recently renovated. The hotel common areas were undergoing renovations during our stay, but it did not disturb our visit at all. The hotel thought of everything - like a selection of soap products, hair dryer, mirrors, convenience packs, robes, etc., but it took up a great deal of space in an already tight bathroom.
The view, the location and the room.
Location Breakfast Very dirty furniture.
The only reason I booked and paid a fortune for my room at this hotel was for the veiw , I was not given the room I booked and my veiw was rubbish . Would not recommend.
Location, super nice staff, new rooms. For the price we were expecting a better view on the room. On the contrary we were situated on a back building
Location. View of rooms facing the canal.
Service og fasiliteter
Sentral beliggenhet, flott rom. Grei frokost. Veldig bra med Aircondition på rommet. Gode senger. Bedre frokost med grove brødsorter. Bedre juice system (lite hygienisk med mugger).
Meget hyggelig personale som bidro til å gjøre oppholdet lykket, flott rom av god standard og fleksibilitet i forhold til barn. Bra beliggenhet i en flott og sentral del av Venezia.
Sentral beliggenhet. Kort vei til Marcusplassen. Det ligger en hyggelig resturant like ved hotellet. Frokosten er ikke den beste. Vanlig kaffe er ille. De serverer trakte kaffe som smaker ille.
Ypperlig beliggenhet. Utrolig bra service, visste tydeligvis hva de drev med. Rommet var fint med alt du kunne ønske, pluss at det var kjempestort. Dyrt var det hellre ikke. Anbefales!

Foggy Day in Newport
... 8217;t have a state tax, so there are lots of outlet malls. Lincoln City was the closest one, about 20 miles north of Newport, and although my expectations were pretty low, it turned out to be a pretty good outlet mall. Even without state tax, the dismal exchange rate put a damper on shopping, but I did buy a pair of jeans at Gap. I had the clerk cut off the tags so I could wear them – the damp cold fog ...

... thing that Bud and I both found odd, the fir trees on the mountain are planted so closely together that they appear to blur and almost vibrate as you drive by....I don't know why, we couldn't explain it...and it was early so, no, we had not been drinking. The ascent was gradual with views of the gray-tan mud splayed lahars and the 120 foot gullies that running water cut through the layers of mud and ash. Long before we reached the Johnston Observatory, ...
Newport, OR---South Beach State Park
... the wind surfers. We went into the town of Newport and had dinner at a small restaurant specializing in French/Italian. They served Cioppino (a hearty seafood stew). Wonderful food and the owners were friendly which made it even more fun. The park is a great place to ride bikes and to walk dogs on the beach. The next day we went back into Newport and walked the downtown area and had lunch overlooking the marina.
After a couple of hiccoughs with the washing machine I finally managed to get 2 loads washed and dried. Didn't think I would ever look forward so much to doing washing! A drive down to the old wharf area this morning, quite quaint, lots of galleries selling local wok - nice but expensive. More seal!!! Lunch back at Schooners Landing, a plain old toasted cheese sandwich - nice. Downtown again to check out the wifi facilities at the library- good. Then off to Nye Beach. This ...

Another parent stepped in and was able to calm him down and everyone finally went to bed. We haven't experienced anything like that at all on our trip. At state parks we've found just the opposite with everyone being so friendly ...

Scientists hoping to protect against future outbreaks of SARS have identified human antibodies that may act against several SARS virus strains.
Two strains of SARS virus of animal origin caused outbreaks of SARS in humans in 2002-2003 and 2003-2004. Researchers believe that future outbreaks caused by novel strains of SARS virus are likely, so developing therapeutics or vaccines that are effective against a variety of strains is important. A multinational team of researchers has identified two human antibodies, m396 and S230.15, that may offer such protection (Zhu Z et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2007;104[27]:12123-12128). The team identified S230.15 by scanning a large library of antibodies from healthy human volunteers, seeking antibodies that bind the SARS virus. The group isolated m396 from samples taken from an individual who survived SARS. Tests in human cells and mice verified that, alone and in combination, the antibodies offered protection from several strains of the virus.

Down the Rabbit HoleMature
The battery-powered conditioning units struggled to keep the clear polymer face shields of the pressurized protective suits clear or fog as the three scientists and their escorts made for the crest of the crater. Immense, the shadow of the ridge from the sun rising behind them masked the true size of the hole, but it was immense and simmering ash and sulphuric vapor in a steady cloud.
The escort—military men trained in explosive and chemical hazards—reached the crest first and stopped short—staring down into the abyss.
"For the love of God." one whispered audible through the radio system. "That's..."
Dr. Evan Harman stopped at the edge beside him. The geophysicist brought his hand up to touch his forehead—a gesture interrupted by the suit.
The crater was at least six miles across, and intersected a small river—the water was draining rapidly and vaporizing as it hit the bottom. The far side was invisible in the smoke and distance.
"We shouldn't be standing here." He said in a pale voice.
"Is it unsafe?" an escort asked.
Dr. Harman shook his head inside his suit. "It's not that. Whatever happened here... Whatever hit or exploded or... The mass that filled this hole had to go somewhere and it should have taken this whole county... state... Christ! I don't know. It should have been big and we shouldn't be alive." He exhaled audibly through the radio.
"Look at the edges." The only woman in the party said. "They're jagged and not angled. Is that important?"
Dr. Harman looked at his colleague, his craggy brow furrowed, and said "I don't know."

What is EMI?
Equated Monthly Installment – EMI for short – is the amount payable every month to the bank
or any other financial institution until the loan amount is fully paid off.
It consists of the interest on loan as well as part of the principal amount to be repaid.
The sum of principal amount and interest is divided by the tenure, i.e., number of months,
in which the loan has to be repaid. This amount has to be paid monthly.
The interest component of the EMI would be larger during the initial months
and gradually reduce with each payment. The exact percentage allocated towards
payment of the principal depends on the interest rate. Even though your monthly EMI
payment won't change, the proportion of principal and interest components will change with time.
With each successive payment, you'll pay more towards the principal and less in interest.
The EMI of a loan depends on three factors:
Loan amount - This stands for the total amount that has been borrowed the individual.
Interest rate - This stands for the rate at which the interest is charged on the amount borrowed.
Tenure of loan - This stands for the agreed loan repayment time-frame between the borrower and the lender.
This is application easy to handle , simple to use and useful for all loan/mortgage calculations.
You can calculate Loan entering following information:
- Principal Loan Amount
- Loan Tenure (months or years)
- Rate of Interest (percentage)
- Processing Fees & Charges
- Down Payment

I didn't dream that often, but when I did I remembered them. This one was eerie in its own way, so much so that I woke up shrieking and sweating. My heart pounded so hard in my chest that I thought it was going to burst through, as I clutched the sheets in my hands until my knuckles turned white.
I managed to get out of bed and walk into the bathroom. I leaned my head against the mirror above the sink and turned on the water, my green eyes staring back at me. I ran a hand through my messy hair and let out a low breath.
"It wasn't real," I said, my voice raw. I wondered whether my mom heard me. If she did she didn't seem too concerned. "Damnit." I ran a clammy hand down my face.
All I wanted to do was crawl back into bed, go to sleep, and get through tomorrow without anything bad happening. I splashed some water on my face and left the room. Maybe I would pass out as soon as I hit the pillow. I could only hope.
I lay against the cool sheets for what seemed like hours before I looked at the clock on my bedside table, the red numbers blinking angrily at me. I pulled the covers over my head and shut my eyes.
It was 2:45AM.
The next time I opened my eyes it was later that morning. I glanced at the clock. I had fifteen minutes to get dressed and get to school. I was dreading it. Maybe I could find Aria when I got there and tell her about my dream. She'd probably tell me I was being stupid.
I dragged myself out of bed and got ready, then headed downstairs to find the kitchen and living room empty. This didn't surprise me in the least because I knew my mom would be out early for work.
I grabbed my keys from the coffee table and wondered how they had gotten there. I didn't drive home yesterday. Maybe Caleb had gone back to the school to get my car and he returned it.
I left the house with ten minutes to spare. The ride to school was at least five, so I'd have some time to find Elias if need to. He needed to know that it was over. He had to know it wouldn't last; he was the teacher, after all.
As I got to the school, parked and got out, I saw Aria running toward me. I leaned against my car and waited for her to get to me. She looked very disturbed about something.
"The principal wants us all to get to our homeroom immediately." She had that worried look on her face. "Something happened."
I didn't over think this at all, didn't let my mind go into that paranoid state. I followed her, and as I entered the building, I was startled by a pair of arms going around me. I stared into grey eyes and my heart thundered in my ears. The panic I felt was real which only meant one thing.
That dream wasn't just a dream.
I squeezed my eyes shut as Caleb's voice flooded into my ear. Soft and warm, it caressed my brain. I opened my mouth to say something and stopped. I couldn't announce to the entire lobby what happened, even if I was scared.
"I have to go to the bathroom," I lied. I untangled myself from him and hurried down the hall. I found an empty stall and slammed the door, sat on the toilet, and shoved part of my sleeve from my shirt into my mouth to muffle my cry.
It was Aria. I watched her come closer to where I was. I didn't want her to find me like this. I prayed she didn't. I lifted my feet gently off the floor. This new position was very uncomfortable, but if it made her leave I was fine with it.
I heard another voice, a different one, speaking to Aria. The stranger's voice was shaken. I opened my eyes to stare at the graffiti on the door and listened. Nothing would have prepared me for what I heard.
"They found a body buried in the field."
Aria gasped. "Are you serious? Who was it?"
"I don't know," said the other girl. "I just heard some teachers talking."
My body was shaking so badly that my foot slipped and knocked into the side of the toilet. I hissed, stumbled out of the stall, and fell into the sink. I clutched the wall beside it and stared at the two of them.
Aria was frowning at me. She didn't seem mad. "What happened? Are you okay?"
I shook my head, took a long breath, and collapsed onto the disgusting bathroom floor, trembling from the tears and the horrible feeling in my gut.

Strange Markings, Stranger Emotions
Ara looked at the mark on Flamara's hand, raising one eyebrow as he examined it. It looked like him, vaguely anyway, and clearly meant something.
"What is it?" she asked, putting her head on his shoulder.
Ara stiffened, but didn't move. As strange as this felt, it didn't feel bad. In fact it felt rather reassuring. It almost had a calming effect on him, dampening the fury that still raged inside him. That hand-stealing creature was bad news, of that he was certain.
But as for the mark, he had no idea what that meant.
"I have absolutely no idea what that mark means. I've never seen anything like it."
Flamara looked up at him, confused. Ara looked back with an equally bemused expression. After a few moments of eye contact, they both sighed and looked away, still in the same position, staring into the middle-distance, each lost in their own thoughts.
Subconsciously, Ara let one hand stray to Flamara's shoulder.

We're considering booking a flight from JFK to Paris on XL Airways this summer -- it's the cheapest nonstop option. Does anybody have a recent experience with that airline and/or that specific route?
I may be wrong, but I thought XL Airways went into liquidation in 2009? Or is this a different airline?
XL Airlines of the UK went into liquidation in 2009, the OP would be flying on XL Airlines France. Owned by the same parent company but not the same airline. XL France are still very much in operation.
Yes, it's definitely XL France, and very much in operation. I just wonder how reliable they are. I realize they're a charter company so "reliable" is a variable concept, but still, I wonder if anybody out there has a recent experience.
Not used them Teppaz. But as a Charter airline, there won't be the same level of comfort as a scheduled carrier across the Atlantic.
Not much information on Airlinequality either I'm afraid.
Yeah, I realize the comfort level will be basic -- I'm fine with that. More concerned about potential delays and safety. For some reason I'm reminded of Tower Air, a notorious low-cost that flew a transatlantic route in the 90s and then went out of business. I had an 8-hour delay in Paris once, and boarding was usually a mess, but you did fly cheap.
XL Airways should be avoided. The money you save will get spent waiting at the airports for hours and days. They have a very limited fleet. When an airplane is grounded you are stuck. They have no actual representation at airports, everyone is a contractor. They have no mechanics, they contract other airlines. They have no computer systems, they rent systems from other airlines. When anything goes wrong, you will be left stranded at the airport. The 800 number only has auto response. No actual people work for this airline, it's just a set of contractors so no one cares or can help.
I was stranded in Paris CDG airport for nearly 2 days. The little information provided was often inaccurate. An eventual protest (no kidding) at the airport by other stranded passengers forced the airport management to find us a flight. XL had abandoned 300 people. The situation was reported on French TV news.
Stay away from XL. Pay the extra for an real airline.
I can see what the previous poster is saying. When an airline has a limited fleet they have very little slack in the event of delays or technical problems occurring. More often or not they will have just one aircraft which flies in and out of a base airport to and from various destinations, so if a problem occurs then they have no back-up or replacement aircraft so then long delays or cancellations happen as a result.
I suppose it is a matter of balance insofar as cost vs potential issue as above. Ok if there is no problem but awful if there is. It's your choice but I would tend to be a bit wary.
"They have a very limited fleet. When an airplane is grounded you are stuck"
Their fleet is in proportion with their route, just like most other airlines out there. to have extra aircraft waiting around in case of tech issues is bad airline management and would ultimately result in higher fares.
I thought this site was for consumers, not apologists for corporations with limited vision on how to run a functional company. Good job sunmagic keep apologizing for bad service. Bottom line XL Airline abandons passengers when things are not perfect. A good company anticipates and plans for problems. Maybe you can go work for XL Airlines and send mothers and children back to their blankets on the floor of the airport with no hope of getting home.
Did you ever end up using them? I'm thinking of using them to go from NYC to CDG for June 2012... the price can't be beat and I'm ok with being uncomfortable on the plane as long as they can get me there and back without issues.. am I expecting too much?

In addition to permanent staff, there are four doctoral interns, three graduate assistant and advanced practicum clinicians, and three doctoral practicum clinicians working at the Center. Four full-time administrative professional staff provide support for administrative operations of the center. The university psychiatrist and psychiatric clinical nurse specialist are adjunct staff members.
T. Paul McAnear, Ph.D. — Director
- University of Tennessee, 2004
- Licensed Counseling Psychologist and Health Service Provider
Center Activities: Administration of clinical services, provision of psychological services to students, training and supervision, various community intervention activities including service on the university Case Management Team.
Theoretical style: I use a client –centered approach informed by psychodynamic, interpersonal, and solution-focused orientations. Recognizing that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is a key factor in effective therapy, I emphasize the therapeutic relationship and use of self. I often utilize Motivational Interviewing techniques to help clients identify reasons for change and move past their resistance to trying out new ways of living/relating.
Professional Interests: Administration/leadership in university counseling centers, trauma work and the impact of childhood trauma on current functioning, substance use management/harm reduction approaches to substance treatment, positive psychology, spirituality and grief, fatherhood and men's issues, group dynamics/teamwork.
Supervision Model: "I utilize a developmental model of supervision that focuses on providing the structure and guidance appropriate to the individual needs of the supervisee. My goal is to facilitate a supervisee's development of a therapeutic identity and style that is both genuine and clinically effective. I see supervision as a collaborative process where a supervisee's professional training, needs and goals are integrated with excellent client care. "
Personal Interests: My personal interests include hiking, cycling, home improvement projects.
Michelle Cooper, Ph.D., — Associate Director/Director of Clinical Services
- University of Massachusetts, 1997
- Pennsylvania State University, 1987
- Licensed Health Services Provider Psychologist (North Carolina) – Tennessee (in process)
Center Activities: Administration of clinical services and member of management team, provision of individual and group counseling services to students, training and supervision, and various consultation and community intervention activities in the support of collegiate mental health needs on the UTK campus.
Theoretical Style: I typically adopt a strengths-based stance while incorporating relational-cultural, feminist, systems-based and culturally-sensitive conceptual frameworks in my clinical and supervisory work. Being present and relationally authentic are important values I hold and I often incorporate mindfulness-based strategies, compassion practice and/or empowerment-based activities into our clinical work. I view counseling as a collaborative process where both client and counselor bring their individual expertise/gifts together to address specific concerns.
Professional Interests: I truly enjoy working with a wide range of presenting concerns and have found it most rewarding to aim toward "becoming an effective tool" in working with individuals or groups to improve their overall mental health and wellbeing. So, I consider myself a strong collegiate mental health generalist. I've developed some expertise in working with trauma recovery, maladaptive substance use or other ineffective coping, anxiety and/or depression and interpersonal concerns. I'm certified in KORU Mindfulness and Meditation, Health Rhythms, Cognitive Processing and other evidenced-based therapies.
Supervision Model: My approach to supervision is congruent with my approach to providing psychotherapy: I believe we both bring shared expertise into this dynamic relationship with an intentional purpose of serving the client through effective clinical services. Within that approach, I incorporate feminist, mindfulness-based and solution-focused frameworks within the supervisory relationship. As your individual supervisor, I will adopt different roles as needed – teacher, consultant, mentor, and evaluator.
Personal Interests: I love the mountains, rivers and related recreational activities. I also enjoy yoga & meditation, participating in community service of some kind or exploring new cultural experiences. You'll definitely find me at a community drum circle! Favorite gatherings involve lots of family fun, laughter, random silliness and interesting food (though I'm not much of a cook!)
Gina Austin, Ph.D. — Couples and Group Coordinator / Staff Psychologist
- University of Tennessee, 1999
- Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Health Services Provider
Center Activities: I provide psychotherapy (individual, group, and couples), clinical training and supervision, and outreach to various UT communities. I specialize in evidence-based therapies (EBTs) for treating trauma, suicidal depression, LGBTQIA concerns, and distressed relationships.
Theoretical Style: My training includes relational psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral, and humanistic/existential treatment models. I incorporate mindfulness, neuroscience, and Positive Psychology research and models into my psychotherapy, trainings, and community interventions. A particular influence is Dr. Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy which has informed my evidence-based practice through a foundation of an attachment theory of close relationships with a humanistic/experiential approach to intervention.
Professional Interests: My focus includes EBTs for which I have certification: Prolonged Exposure Therapy (for treatment of PTSD due to sexual assault, combat trauma, etc.), Cognitive Processing Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy for depression/anxiety, Gottman Method for Couples, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (for couples and family). Posttraumatic Growth is a research and clinical practice interest of mine in the prevention and treatment of sexual assault on campus and healing of student veterans' combat trauma. I am an advocate for LGBTQIA since 1990 when I began my psychology studies; I work from a relational psychoanalytical-narrative perspective in working with LGBTQIA clients.
Supervision Model: I approach clinical supervision from a developmental, relational, multi-culturally aware perspective, which is structured and directive but also collaborative; attachment theory is useful in understanding psychotherapy processes not only with client and therapist but also supervisor and trainee for a working relationship that cultivates lasting change. I encourage trainees to adopt approaches suitable to their own personality and then foster the development of their best use of EBTs towards clients' needs.
Personal Interests: As a Knoxville native, I enjoy scouting around the area for new activities; going to the Tennessee Theatre and the Bijou for concerts is great fun with my husband. A lot of my time is spent with family and our Australian Shepherds (Tango and Jazzie) and our one-eared cat, Van Gogh. Flower gardening, movies, reading, and writing "the novel never to be published" rounds out my interests.
Bonnie M. Benson-Palmgren, Ph.D. — Diversity Coordinator / Staff Psychologist
- Western Michigan University, 2012
Pronouns in Use: she/her/hers/herself
Center Activities: I provide individual and group psychotherapy to undergraduate and graduate students, clinical supervision to psychology trainees, and outreach across campus. As Diversity Coordinator, I consult with campus partners serving underrepresented/underserved student populations in an effort to improve counseling center services. I also conduct needs assessments and make recommendations for training to increase therapist awareness and skills related to diversity and multiculturalism. I will be collaborating with the Chancellor's Commission for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People.
Theoretical Style: My work integrates client-centered, interpersonal process, and cognitive-behavioral theories and interventions within a multicultural/feminist framework. My clinical work and supervision are grounded in forming a trusting and accepting relationship that honors students' intersecting social identities and acknowledges (and attempts to minimize) the power differential inherent in our professional relationship. I view therapy as an opportunity for students to learn and practice skills, acknowledge and accept painful feelings and lived experiences, and make discoveries about themselves that can help improve how they feel, increase their effectiveness in relationships with others, and move toward their academic goals.
Professional Interests: I specialize in working with trans and gender non-conforming students and have presented nationally on this topic. I am also interested in sexual minority student concerns, intersectional microaggressions, and family of origin issues.
Supervision Model: I encourage supervisees to be themselves as much as possible in the room with clients and in supervision with me. I believe we do our best work in and outside of therapy when we are authentic. I work from a developmental perspective, trying to meet trainees' needs based on their past experiences and identified growth edges, while providing gentle challenge and support. I also work from a multicultural perspective, attempting to honor and incorporate social identities (of client, therapist, and me) into how we formulate diagnoses, treatment plans, and our conversations about the work.
Personal Interests: Transplanted from the Midwest, I love the mountains, water, and woods of Tennessee. I enjoy cozy home activities like watching TV/Netflix, cooking and eating, making digital scrapbooks, reading teen dystopian fiction, and being owned by my cats.
Alicia Brown, Ph.D., – Community Intervention Coordinator / Staff Psychologist
- Ph. D., University of Georgia, 2015
- M.Ed., Auburn University, 2006
- B.A. Judson College, 2004
Center Activities: I provide individual and group counseling to students. I am also actively involved in several outreach activities across campus
Theoretical Style: I mainly conceptualize from a Cognitive Behavioral Theoretical (CBT) perspective, however I also incorporate several counseling interventions. I also expand my CBT perspective to include aspects from Schema Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. I consider therapy as a means for students to gain more self-awareness, knowledge and skills to use in their daily lives.
Professional Interest: I have a very strong interest in multiculturalism and diversity and enjoy working with students with racial and spiritual concerns. I am also interested in obtaining training in Emotional Freedom Techniques and Advanced Integrated Therapy.
Supervision Model: I use a mentor and collaboration style in supervision. I encourage trainees to find their personal therapy and learning style. As a supervisor, I think it is important to maintain trust, consistency and safety in order for trainees to feel comfortable to share their strengths, growth edges and concerns. I also work hard to decrease the power dynamics to establish and maintain a healthy and encouraging training environment.
Personal Interest: I enjoy traveling, cooking, trying new meals and attending ballet performances.
Amber N. Thornton, PsyD- Staff Psychologist
- Wright State University School of Professional Psychology, 2014
- Licensed Counseling Psychologist, Health Service Provider
Pronouns in Use: she/her/hers/herself
Center Activities: I provide individual, couples, and group psychotherapy to campus students. I also provide supervision to psychology graduate students. Additionally, I participate in outreach and consultation with various campus faculty and staff, particularly surrounding issues of diversity and multiculturalism.
Theoretical Style: I believe that clinical psychology and mental health service is beneficial to everyone, however this is only true when it is tailored to fit your specific needs and unique identity. Because of that, culture and identity are fundamental to my clinical approach. "One size does not fit all," therefore the understanding of your cultural identity (a combination of age, disability status, religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, nationality, gender, etc.) and the meaning associated with your identity is of the utmost importance to me and dictates my theoretical approach to psychotherapy.
Professional Interests: Diversity and Multiculturalism, Racial and Gender Identity Development, Intersectionality, Developmental and Complex Trauma, Consultation, and Community Intervention.
Supervision Model: Similar to my theoretical approach, culture and identity are also fundamental to my supervision style. This includes rapport and relationship building, as well as understanding of a supervisee's cultural identity and how it may contribute to their work as a psychologist. This is followed by continuous learning and understanding of the cultural identity of others, and how that may impact their perspective and worldview.
Personal Interests: I enjoy reading, exercising, eating good food, and spending time with family, friends, and my dog. I also enjoy social media and blogging.
William K. Hahn, Ph.D. — Staff Psychologist
- Purdue University, 1987
- Adjunct Professor, Department of Public Health
- Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Health Service Provider
- APA Internship: Indiana University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry
Center Activities: I provide psychological services to graduate and undergraduate students, work closely with Student Health Center medical staff, and supervise trainees.
Theoretical Style: I believe the various theoretical orientations in psychology attempt to understand human nature and illuminate a pathway to relieve suffering. Consequently, I try to use an approach that most closely matches the clients' subjective distress and belief system.
Professional Interests: I am most interested in individual psychotherapy. I have published several articles about individual and group psychotherapy, as well as brain development in infants and children, intern evaluation, and psychological and physiological risk factors for future hypertension among teenagers and young adults. I also enjoy teaching First Year Studies and Public Health 430.
Supervision Model: I believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the most important variable for successful outcome. As such, I help trainees be present and make an authentic connection with their clients.
Personal Interests: I enjoy running and walking my Border Collies. I enjoy traveling and have been to Alaska, Canada, the Panama Canal, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, England, Scotland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Vatican City, Switzerland, Monaco, China, and India. My trip to Africa is on hold.
Philip Johnson, Ph.D. — Staff Psychologist
- Oklahoma State University, 1989
- Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology
- Licensed Counseling Psychologist and Health Service Provider
Center Activities: Individual and couples therapy; supervision; outreach and consultation with faculty, staff, campus ministers and various university organizations.
Theoretical Style: Orientation combines developmental, cognitive behavioral and family systems with interpersonal process psychotherapy.
Professional Interests: Training and supervision; family of origin and spiritual issues.
Supervision Model: "My supervision model is based on a developmental approach while encouraging awareness and understanding of process issues and the counselor's use of self in therapy. I believe that understanding the emotional reaction of therapists is a very helpful tool in conceptualization, and I strive to create a supervisory relationship of respect, safety and support in which issues or reactions can be discussed. I emphasize the transitions of professional growth that occur during the internship year."
Personal Interests: I enjoy weekends in the Smoky Mountains, hiking, and traveling- always with a good book or two.
Maggie Klotz, Ph.D. — Practicum Coordinator / Staff Psychologist
Center activities: One of the things I love about working at college counseling centers is the variety of activities in which I am able to engage. I provide individual, group, and couples counseling, provide training and supervision to clinicians in training, and provide outreach to the UT community.
Theoretical Style: I believe one of the most important aspects of therapy is the relationship that is built between a therapist and client. Thus, my first goal is always to help my clients feel safe in my office while discussing any difficulties they may be experiencing. Overall, I have an integrative approach to therapy, conceptualizing problem development from psychodynamic and interpersonal theories while utilizing interventions from emotion-focused, dialectical behavioral, interpersonal, and cognitive behavioral theories. Moreover, all of my work is grounded in strength-based and multicultural perspectives.
Professional Interests: While I enjoy working with a wide range of presenting concerns, I have expertise in areas related to complex trauma, relationship difficulties, family-of-origin issues, impulse-control, suicidality, self-injurious behavior, and group therapy. I am also passionate about providing supervision to clinicians in training.
Supervision Model: I believe trainees are able to grow the most when they can be open and honest in supervision and feel safe sharing both strengths as well as growth edges. I approach supervision from a developmental perspective and work collaboratively with supervisees to meet their goals. I also utilize a strengths-based approach and work to instill confidence in trainees as they grow both personally and professionally during their graduate training.
Personal interests: Outside of the office I enjoy being outdoors with my camera and love both landscape and journalistic photography. I am also a huge sports fan and enjoy playing or watching almost any sport. When I don't feel like being active, I can be found curled up on my couch with my "dorkie" (half dachshund/half yorkie).
Ashley Ross, Ph.D. — Staff Psychologist
Center activities: Supervision and training; individual and couples psychotherapy; group therapy; consultation/liaison.
Theoretical Style: I conceptualize my clients from a broad dynamic approach, which includes object relation, interpersonal, and family system. In sessions, I use the interpersonal process to deepen the experience of therapy and promote change. I frequently engage in emotionally focused, here-and-now interactions. In addition, I am mindful of transference/countertransference issues and employ a use-of-self approach."
Professional interests: Trauma survivors, family-of-origin issues, supervision, intimate partner violence, spirituality.
Supervision model: Supervision is the foundation of becoming a confident, competent clinician. I believe supervision is a playful, creative process and I enjoy it as much as I enjoy providing therapy. In many ways, my supervision style mirrors my approach to therapy. I generally take a psychodynamic/interpersonal stance and work on creating a trusting environment. I believe that supervision is a reciprocal interaction, both exciting and informative. While taking into consideration the supervisee's developmental level, I try to deepen his/her ability to conceptualize clients so that interventions are timely, focused, and more effective. This involves discussing several aspects of the therapeutic relationship, such as, emotional reactions regarding the client or parallel processes that may be occurring. During supervision, I may share my own professional experiences as a clinician-both my successes and blunders- in an attempt to normalize the supervisee's experiences and possible fears at this developmental crossroad.
Personal Interests: I love anything that involves my family- this can be taking a trip to the mountains, looking for geocaches (they're everywhere!), dancing in the living room to 80's music, or singing songs in the car. I'm also passionate about hunting and typically plan my year around whatever is in season. I enjoy having a vegetable garden, but unfortunately, have never developed a taste for things that are green!
Jennifer Smith, MSSW- Clinical Case Coordinator/Therapist
- University of Tennessee, 2012
- Licensed Master of Social Work
Center Activities: Individual and couples therapy; consultation and liaison to community and campus resources; case management.
Theoretical Style: I conceptualize clients through a biopsychosocial perspective, understanding that personal identity is woven through the influence of a variety of experiences in the lifespan. I place particular emphasis on how an individual's self-perception is shaped through family of origin and cultural messages. I draw from client-centered and strength-based perspectives with the goal of collaborating with an individual to increase insight and draw on his/her natural strengths to reach solutions. I also integrate self-compassion work, mindfulness and self-care strategies within an interpersonal framework. My ultimate goals in working with clients is to create an atmosphere of empathy and genuine respect in which people feel safe, valued and are able to work toward goals, form a more positive self-perception and achieve desired change.
Professional Interests: Substance abuse/dependence, self-compassion, family of origin issues, spirituality, women's issues and relational issues.
Personal Interest: I am a native Knoxvillian, and I love this great city. I like to spend time being active outdoors and getting involved in a variety of community events in the city, whether through attending Market Square Farmer's Markets, First Friday art shows, paddleboarding or swimming at Ijams or any outdoor festival. I also enjoy home decorating, growing vegetables and working on my house.

- Board Certified in Adult Psychiatry, 1992
- University of Pittsburgh, Western Psychiatric Institute, 1992
- Vanderbilt University Medical School, 1987
- University of Mississippi – BA Chemistry
Center Activities: I provide psychiatric evaluation and short-term medication treatment for students who are having problems such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, bipolar mood disorder, schizophrenia and ADHD.
Theoretical Style: My specialty is psychopharmacology, though I do some supportive psychotherapy as part of my interaction with patients as needed. Many of my patients are also seeing therapists here at the Counseling Center or off campus.
Professional Interests: In addition to my work at Student Counseling, I've taught classes through First Year studies and participated as a discussion leader in the Life of the Mind program.
Personal Interests: I enjoy being outside, working in my yard or hiking in the Smokies. Travels have taken me to Southeast Asia, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. I've been taking Spanish classes for the past couple of years; maybe one day I'll retire to a Spanish speaking country. In the meantime I watch way-too-much sports on TV.

Normal approximations by Stein's method
Stein's method for normal approximations is explained, with some examples and applications. In the study of the asymptotic distribution of the sum of dependent random variables, Stein's method may be a very useful tool. We have attempted to write an elementary introduction. For more advanced introductions to Stein's method, see Stein (1986), Barbour (1997) and Chen (1998).

The range of surface textures you can achieve is unlimited, because each application is unique and relies largely on the skill of the applicator. Just as a skilled painter requires a palette of quality paints, a skilled applicator must be equipped with the right assortment of products, finishes and coatings.
With a broad range of innovative products, Parex USA makes it possible for applicators to create nearly any textured surface and ensure that it has protective, weather-resistant properties that provide a long-lasting, dependable cladding.

High frequency RAM on Kaby Lake
Subject: Memory | December 23, 2016 - 01:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Vengeance LPX, kaby lake, Intel, DDR4-3600, corsair, core i7 7700k
[H]ard|OCP had a chance to try out Corsair's upcoming Vengeance LPX 3600MHz DDR4 on a Kaby Lake based system. The XMP settings for this DDR4 were 3600MHz with timings @ 18-19-19-39-2T and the system booted with no problems at these defaults, an improvement from some scenarios with Skylake based systems. Running Prime95 for over a day posed no problem for the system, however Memtest86 did until the RAM voltage was bumped up to 1.41v from the default 1.36v at which point it could pass the tests with no problems. This shows some promise for overclocking addicts planning on upgrading to the refreshed Intel chip.
"We were lucky enough to get our hands on a new set of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600MHz RAM this week and we immediately put it work with the new Intel Kaby Lake Core i7-7700K processor that is to be launched next month."

Magnetic fans, how do they work? Check out Corsair's new ML series
Subject: Cases and Cooling | December 2, 2016 - 03:58 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: magnetic levitation, corsair, air cooling, ML 120, ML140 Pro, ML120 Pro, led
Instead of using sleeve bearings, ball bearings or fluid dynamic bearings, the Corsair ML series relies on magnetic levitation to deal with the friction created by a spinning fan. The fans are available in 120mm and 140mm sizes, with blue, red or white LEDS, or none if you prefer. The fans use a 4-pin PWM connection to allow you to control their speed and should be compatible with any case, heatsink or radiator you might want to use them with. Techgage tried them out in a Cooler Master CM 690 III. They are somewhat pricey, the Pro version which ships with rubber mounts more so, with the non-Pro models shipping in pairs. Read all about them in their review.
"I'm a big fan of magnets, they're just plain cool. Corsair was attracted to the idea of using magnets in it's latest fans and created the ML-Series. Sporting magnetic levitation, the ML Series fans are meant to be the last set of fans you'll ever need. Maintaing both high performance and quiet operation, we take the ML120 and ML140 PRO LED fans for a spin."

Corsair Introduces Carbide Series 270R Mid-Tower Case
Subject: Cases and Cooling | November 22, 2016 - 11:17 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: windowed, mid-tower, enclosure, corsair, chassis, case, carbide, 270R
Corsair introduced three new enclosures yesterday, with the Crystal 570X (our review for this case is already live), Crystal 460X (review coming soon!), and this new Carbide Series 270R mid-tower.
From Corsair:
"Solid, sleek and understated, the CORSAIR Carbide Series 270R offers all the essentials of a high-end PC case, while retaining a spacious internal layout and versatile cooling options. Available with either a huge transparent window or solid side panel, the 270R's minimalist exterior hides an expansive interior that's designed to make building a PC as easy as possible. Deep cable routing channels, numerous tie-down points and convieniently located drive bays combine with a dedicated cable routing compartment that surrounds the PSU, making clean and professional builds simple.
The 270R windowed comes equipped with a red-LED lit AF120 120mm intake fan and black AF120 120mm exhaust fan, while the 270R non-windowed ships with a single black AF120 120mm exhaust . Whichever you choose, the 270R offers great out-of-box cooling while also supporting a wealth of liquid cooling radiators and cooling upgrades. Able to mount upto a 360mm radiator in the front and a 240mm radiator in the roof, the 270R can accommodate almost anything your next PC might require, both now and in the future. It's everything PC builders need for the essential PC build."
While the other two announced cases feature tempered glass designs, the Carbide 270R is a practical alternative for shoppers on a budget. It combines an understated exterior with an internal layout that Corsair is calling "builder-friendly", and offers a compelling solution with an MSRP of only $69.99.
Corsair lists these features:
- Builder-friendly with simple and intuitive internal layout.
- Versatile cooling options with space for multiple radiator configurations.
- Clean and minimalist exterior design.
- 270R Windowed includes 1x red-LED lit AF120 120mm intake fan and 1x black AF120 120mm exhaust fan.
- 270R Non-Windowed includes 1x black AF120 120mm exhaust fan.
- Built-in cable routing compartments enables clean builds.
- Direct Airflow Path™ provides airflow to the hottest components.
Our review of the Carbide Series 270R will be completed soon, so stay tuned!!
Corsair's 460X, the smaller sibling in the Crystal Series case family
Subject: Cases and Cooling | November 21, 2016 - 01:15 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: atx, case, corsair, Crystal Series, enclosure, RGB, tempered glass, tower, 460X
The Corsair Crystal Series 460X RGB is very similar to the 570X model which Sebastian just posted a review of, though there are some noticeable differences. It is slightly smaller in all dimensions, at 440x220x464mm and the removable top is metal as opposed to glass, which has also allowed the relocation to the front of the top panel controls and inputs. The case does use the same PSU shroud as the 570X as well as suffering from the same strain of RGB disease and it will sell for $40 less than the 570X at $140. Take a look at TechPowerUp's full review to see which of the two cases you prefer.
"After the huge success of their other cases, Corsair have now released the Crystal series, which concentrates on a clean, modern design while still being functional to both air and liquid cooling enthusiasts.The first of the Crystal Series is the 460X which comes with comes with RGB fans and tempered glass."

Introduction and Exterior
Corsair has just dropped a trio of new cases into the market, and I happen to have all of them in my secret enclosure testing bunker. While reviews for the other two are in the pipeline, the first of these to be completed is this impressive new Crystal Series 570X. Not only does this case have tempered glass galore (and an ultra-premium look and feel), but it also features customizable RGB lighting effects.
Glass has clearly (pun intended) been trending in the case world of late, and there are more tempered glass options at affordable price points than ever. There is still room for a premium option or two, and Corsair joins the ranks of In Win for a high-style enclosure with this Crystal 570X. At first glance the case looks like it's mostly tempered glass, and for the most part the exterior is just that. Glass panels comprise front and back sides, as well as the front and top of the case. In fact, only the back and bottom panels of the Crystal 570X are steel.
Here are some key points for the Crystal 570X from Corsair:
- Four tempered glass panels on the sides of the case: Possibly the most beautiful case CORSAIR has ever made. With tempered glass enclosing the entire chassis, every component of your build is on display.
- Customizable lighting: Light up your build with brilliant LED effects. Three included SP120 RGB LED fans and included LED controller keeps your components running cool. Each fan is equipped with vivid, configurable LED lights, enabling you to personalize your build.
- Room for virtually anything: Mounting points for 6 case fans and fully compatible with 360mm, 280mm, and 120mm radiators. Removable fan trays in the front and top of the chassis allows for additional space or mounting cooling outside of the chassis.
- Cable management made simple: Cable routing channels with included velcro cable straps for clean cable management.
- Easy to clean: Easily access dust filters on front, top, and bottom mean you'll never spend more than a minute getting dust out of your system.

Introduction and First Impressions
Corsair's Carbide Series Air 740 is a high-airflow cube-like ATX case, and it has a different look and some different options compared to the previous Air 540. Both Air cases are dual-chamber designs, with tons of room behind the motherboard tray for storage and hiding cables (and watercooling components). The cube style might not be to everyone's liking, but if you do like the aesthetics there is a lot of case to cover here. Let's get started!
The original Carbide Air enclosure has been around for a few years, and Ryan reviewed Air 540 back in 2013. The new Air 740 is more a refinement than a new enclosure, and internally the two cases are very similar. Corsair has dropped the 5.25-inch external drive bays with the 740, and the door has a very nice hinged/latching design now. Style is a little more aggressive, but the fundamentals are the same: a cube design offering two large chambers, and generous venting to promote high airflow.
The Air 740 has a hinged, latching door
