Great location and nice clean, good sized flat with all the amenities one could want.
We stayed here for 8 days in April 2017. The apartment is in a great location with easy access to two tube lines but we mainly walked everywhere. It is well appointed and there are several markets and restaurants/pubs/cafes close by. Check in and check out was very easy. Don't let the construction scare you off. They don't start until 8am and were done by 5pm and really were not very noisy during these hours (one morning I slept until 8:30 and didn't hear them at all). I would not hesitate to stay here again! Don't miss the view of the city from the 6th floor of One New Change!
We arrived at this difficult to find property among a very under construction - major construction- area. The property looked ok, however- there was a very serious leak in the ceiling that had rendered the light fixtures useless in the living room and allowed mold to grow. When asked, i was told that they were waiting for insurance to pay which "takes a while". My daughter is quite allergic to mold and had we been informed, we would have cancelled. They did not think it important. My daughter had serious allergic response including an asthma attack that took days to recover from after leaving. The shower also had a significant leak (You could hear it in the hallway- DRIP< DRIP) No hot water. Oven broken. Beds are like boards. I could have lived with most of that, however, their failure to inform of us of the leak put my daughter's health at risk. We left. The gentleman who helped us felt like Klara would understand. NO WAY- her response was they could not smell mold so it wasn't a concern. Additionally she lied to home away and said it just needed painting. I am trying desperately to get my money back as they misrepresented the property. I would not recommend doing any renting with this shameful owner.
We a family of 5, three teenagers and this location worked well for us. The neighborhood is very quiet- even with construction going on- we didn't ever notice the noise. As their signs say, they are a very courteous construction company. The apartment is close to several tube stops, markets, sights and everything you could need in London.
The wifi was out when we arrived but they were very quick to get it fixed. The oven needed to be fixed but it didn't really matter for us and I am sure that they have had that fixed since we left. The only thing we couldn't manage was to get hot water in the shower: it was strange because there was scalding hot water out of the sinks but not the shower. This made for quick showers but I think this falls in our fault and not theirs. One really great thing was how toasty warm you can get the apartment- perfect after a chilly London day out.
If we were to go back, we would stay here again. It was easy to find, get in and get oriented. Tony helped us upon arrival and was very friendly and efficient. They were also very kind to provide lots of information about the surrounding location sights, restaurants, gyms, etc. That was very helpful and got us excited to arrive even before we left.
Overall happy with the accomodations for our group of four (2 adult couples). There is a lot of neighboring construction going on from 8am-5pm, so not likely to sleep in, but that's not why London is for anyway ;0)
The hostess was very responsive to texts/emails. If the wifi dropped out, she helped try and trouble shoot and then called an engineer to get it fixed. Also the hot water would only stay hot for about 30-40 secs, but by my own fault, we just lived with it for the week. As soon as I let Klara know, she immediately called the plumber.
So all in all, is it a great flat in the heart of the city and I would definitely stay there again.
This is a wonderful apartment. Close to St. Paul's, transportation and walking distance to many museums- the Tate, The Museum of London, The Guild Hall- to name a few. While it is true that there was a lot of construction going on they didn't start until 8 and were done by 6. And we weren't around when they were working. We were met promptly, the apartment was clean and well supplied with everything we needed.
This flat served as our home base for the first week of our two-week London adventure and was clean, spacious (for 4 people), and very accessible!
As others have mentioned, this flat is right in the heart of a construction zone (yep, still happening as of November 2016), but that shouldn't be too much of an issue for visitors who will be out sightseeing for most of the day. It is otherwise a great flat full of many supplied conveniences (free wifi, full kitchen w/utensils, washer/dryer, etc.) and is well within walking distance of two major tube stops and many of London's big sightseeing locations.
Klara, our greeter, was awesome! Some issues with our arrival made us much later than planned, but Klara kept in communication with us and was extremely accommodating with her time. She helped us get settled and proved to be very easy to contact whenever we needed anything.
All in all, we had a great experience and would gladly recommend this flat!
The property is ideally located for the City or St Barts with easy access to the West End and a short walk to SouthBank.
The property is ideally located just moments from a whole host of local amenities in addition to the fabulous Smithfield market, St Paul's Cathedral and the many surrounding fashionable bars and restaurants. The nearest underground stations are St Paul's (Central Line) and Farringdon, Barbican (Circle Line, Hammersmith & City line and Metropolitan line).
The City is 5 min walk, Bartholomew Close and the Law Courts nearby and the history of London's Roman ancestry all around. The Millenium Bridge walkway leads from St Paul's across the river.
St Pauls Cathedral: Located within 300m, the present St Paul's is the fifth cathedral to have stood on the site since 604, and was built between 1675 and 1710, after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. This was the first cathedral to be built after the English Reformation in the sixteenth century, when Henry VIII removed the Church of England from the jurisdiction of the Pope and the Crown took control of the Church's life.
Among the events marked at St Paul's are royal occasions. In 1897 Queen Victoria chose to commemorate her diamond jubilee here. More recently Queen Elizabeth II has celebrated her jubilees at St Paul's , and also her 80th birthday in 2006. Royal weddings have been held here as well: the marriage of Catherine of Aragon to Prince Arthur in 1501 and famously the wedding of HRH the Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.
Millenium Bridge from St Pauls to Tate Modern: The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London, England, linking Bankside with the City. It is located between Southwark Bridge (downstream) and Blackfriars Railway Bridge (upstream). The bridge is owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. Construction of the bridge began in 1998, with the opening on 10 June 2000.
The southern end of the bridge is near Globe Theatre, the Bankside Gallery and Tate Modern, the north end next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge alignment is such that a clear view of St Paul's south facade is presented from across the river, framed by the bridge supports.
The Barbican Centre : The Barbican Centre is the largest performing arts centre in Europe.[1] Located in the City of London, England, the Centre hosts classical and contemporary music concerts, theatre performances, film screenings and art exhibitions. It also houses a library, three restaurants, and a conservatory. The London Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra are based in the Barbican Centre's concert hall.

Had stopped here two years ago, a little let down this time. The selection had gone down hill. No Jester King which seemed odd. Not a bad place, but I wont go out of my way. They also own a store five miles away with a similar name.

Is This Barack Obama's 2nd Term? Is it Bill Clinton's 3rd? Or Is It Ronald Reagan's 9th?
They say that elections do matter, and that there are real differences between Republican and Democratic presidents. But backing up the view to 30 years, that difference looks a lot more like continuity, both at home and in America's global empire. The answer is yes to all three. Ronald Reagan hasn't darkened the White House door in decades. But his policy objectives have been what every president, Democrat and Republican have pursued relentlessly ever since. Barack Obama is only the latest and most successful of Reagan's disciples.

In Barack Obama's case all he had to say was that he wasn't necessarily against wars, just against what he called stupid wars. Corporate media and liberal shills morphed that lone statement into a false narrative that Barack Obama opposed the war in Iraq, making him an instantly viable presidential candidate at a time when the American people overwhelmingly opposed that war. Once in office, Barack Obama strove mightily to abrogate the Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq which would have allowed US forces to remain there indefinitely. But when the Iraqi puppet government, faced with a near revolt on the part of what remained of Iraqi civil society, dared not do his bidding, insisting that uniformed US troops (but not the American and multinational mercenaries we pay to remain there) stick to the withdrawal timetable agreed upon under Bush, liberal shills and corporate media hailed the withdrawal from Iraq as Obama's victory.
Barack Obama doubled down on the invasion and occupation of large areas of Afghanistan, and increased the size of the army and marines, which in fact he pledged to do during his presidential campaign. Presidential candidate Obama promised to end secret imprisonment and torture. The best one can say about President Obama on this score is that he seems to prefer murderous and indiscriminate drone attacks, in many cases, over the Bush policy of international kidnapping secret imprisonment and torture. The Obama administration's reliance on drones combined with US penetration of the African continent, means that a Democratic, ostensibly antiwar president has been able to openly deploy US troops to every part of that continent in support of its drive to control the oil, water, and other resources there.
The objectives President Obama's Africa policies fulfill today were put down on paper by the Bush administration, pursued by Bill Clinton before that, and still earlier pursued by Ronald Reagan, when it funded murderous contra armies of UNITA in Angola and RENAMO in Mozambque. It was UNITA and RENAMO's campaigns, assisted by the apartheid regimes of Israel and South Africa that pioneered the genocidal use of child soldiers. Today, cruise missile liberals hail the Obama administration's use of pit bull puppet regimes like Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda, all of which shot their way into power with child soldiers, to invade Somalia and Congo, sometimes ostensibly to go after other bad actors on the grounds that they are using child soldiers.

If either George Bush, or if Ronald Reagan had openly deployed US troops to Africa on anything like the scale President Obama has, black America would be up in arms. They wanted to. They couldn't. It seems that now, by giving us a black president, the empire can get just about whatever it wants.
It works the same way at home. Ronald Reagan and the first George Bush would have liked to tamper with social security, but dared not. All Reagan could do was tell welfare queen jokes, and despite Reagan's open disdain of organized labor, NAFTA was a distant wet dream of corporations and billionaires. The first president Bush proposed NAFTA but could never get it through Congress. It took a Democratic president, Bill Clinton, who marshaled a minority of Democrats in Congress to vote with Republicans both to pass NAFTA and to eliminate welfare. It was Bill Clinton who publicly embraced Republican myths about balancing the US budget, while allowing liberals to imagine he would deliver a peace dividend. The second president Bush openly trumpeted right wing lies about the solvency of social security and the (lies which Barack Obama happily repeats to this day) and tried more than once to privatize it. Again, that's continuity across administrations and parties.
True to form, Obama picked the ball up where his predecessors left it and has run relentlessly righward ever since. Barack Obama uses the language of the elites when he calls social security, Medicaid and Medicare and other federal benefits entitlements and asserts that their growth must be trimmed. He championed the formation of a deficit reduction commission chaired by Democrat Erskine Bowles and Republican Alan Simpson, both advocates of privatizing social security and drastic cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and federal benefits and tried to fast-track their recommendation through Congress. Fortunately that recommendation never came.
Just last week, Obama offered as his opening position in negotiations with Republicans, the chaining of social security and all other federal benefits to the consumer price index --- a monstrous betrayal that will reduce social security benefits by as much as $100 monthly by a decade from now. It wasn't anything he had been cornered into by Republicans. It was the point from which Barack Obama decided to start. That's continuity. Only a Republican president, like Richard Nixon, could go to China in the 1970s. Only a black Democrat can break his promises to labor on championing a card check law, refute his commitments to a just and fair media with network neutrality, and do nothing to roll back the prison state which has engulfed black and brown youth. Only a black Democrat could deport more Latinos than all the last three Republicans together, in his first term alone.
JIM CROW BLACKS lololololol
#886851 Apr 11, 2013
Democrats and Republicans are not mutual opponents. They are a tag team, each one pushing the ball further and further down the field in the wrong direction. It's still winter in America, and the dead hand of Ronald Reagan still guides this nation, decades after his exit from the White House. Welcome to the 9th term of Ronald Reagan, in the person of Democrat Barack Hussein Obama.
One could also argue, since we are in the grips of the greatest depression, although we don't call them that any more, since the 1930s, and Obama's economic policies bear more in common to Herbert Hoover than to Franklin Roosevelt, that we're living through Herbert Hoover's third term as well. But we'll save that for another day.

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing."
- Adolf Hitler
On November 11, 1938, the Minister of the Interior, Wilhelm Frick, passed Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons. This regulation effectively deprived all Jews of the right to possess firearms or other weapons.
In 1935, Jewish residents were no longer considered citizens to prevent any resistance under the 1938 German Weapons Act.
The 1938 revisions introduced restrictions specifically to prohibit Jews from holding firearms but made it easier for the one-party nazi regime to gain acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns as the possession of ammunition.
And then there's China...
Although gun laws in China are becoming difficult to enforce, China's weapons laws are among the world's toughest. Its blanket ban on private ownership of rifles, pistols and even gun replicas is a core tenet of social policy.
Need more?
By the way, Obama has been hellbent on destroying the Republican Party and any and all opposition with the help of his Cheerleaders. Doesn't the notion of a "one-party" system and that one party demonizing law-abiding gun owners even raise a little red flag?

you confuse me with your inner city inlaws. you're a typical wannabe limousine liberal who preaches far removed from anything that is a result of liberal viewpoints. like the homeless--out on the streets because Democrats got rid of psychiatric hospitals and involuntary hospitalization and thugs because limousine liberals champion criminal rights over protecting the public and the decline in the family in conjunction with the progressive anti-marriage movement (except now for gays).
what comes out in your posts, other than you are a symptom of the decline in our society and support killing anything in the birth canal for convenience?

The story goes that some mice became very upset about the cat in the house and convened an emergency meeting. They finally came up with the idea of tying a bell around the cats neck, so the dangerous feline could no longer catch victims unawares. The plan gained a lot of enthusiastic praise, until one mouse piped up with a question that preceded a long silence:Whos going to bell the cat?
In recent days, the big cat in the White House has provoked denunciations from groups that have rarely crossed him. Theyre upset about his decision to push for cuts in Social Security benefits.Progressive outrage has reached a boiling point, the online juggernaut MoveOn declared a few days ago.
Obamas move to cut Social Security is certainly outrageous, and its encouraging that a wide range of progressive groups are steamed at Obama as never before. But this kind of outrage should have reached a boiling point a long time ago. The administrations undermining of civil liberties, scant action on climate change, huge escalation of war in Afghanistan, expansion of drone warfare, austerity policies serving Wall Street and shafting Main Street, vast deference to corporate power... The list is long and chilling.
So is the evasive record of many groups that are now denouncing Obamas plan to cut Social Security. Mostly, their leaders griped in private and made nice with the Obama White House in public.
Yet imagine if those groups had polarized with President Obama in 2009 on even a couple of key issues. Such progressive independence would have shown the public that there is indeed a left in this country that the left has principles and stands up for them and that Obama, far from being on the left, is in the center. Such principled clarity would have undermined the right-wing attacks on Obama as a radical, socialist, etc. and from the beginning could have gotten some victories out of Obama, instead of waiting more than four years to take him on.
Whether or not Obamas vicious assault on Social Security is successful, it has already jolted an unprecedented number of longtime supporters. It should be the last straw, suffused with illumination.
That past is prologue. We need to ask: Do such groups now have it in them to stop pretending that each of the Obama administrations various awful policies is some kind of anomaly?

In case you're referring to the purpose of the Second Amendment...
"What then was the purpose of the Second Amendment? It was to prevent the establishment of large standing armies by the federal government by guaranteeing the right of the people to keep and bear arms so as to provide the foundation for a national militia as the preferred armed service of the federal government to suppress insurrections and repel invasions.
"The Second Amendment was proposed by Madison and the First Congress not to guarantee to the states the right to maintain state militia but to prevent large standing armies by guaranteeing to the people, all of them potential militia, the right to keep and bear arms."
Maybe you should have just told me which part you thought was a joke.

Even American liberty hater Piers Morgan cant ignore President Barack Obamas lavish taxpayer-funded vacations taken, no less, as Americans are being economically crippled by the Presidents incompetence and unaccountability.
The President and his family must have different preferences of vacation destinations; the Obama daughters are also incredibly well traveled at the taxpayers expense. The girls enjoyed a spring break trifecta recently: Hawaii, Aspen and the Bahamas, all in one month.
And when he isnt on vacation or advocating for government spending increases and gun laws, the President is hanging out with high-profile entertainers. He often does so during luxurious banquets at the White House that American proles are no longer permitted to visit.
Those entertainers, for their relationship with the President, can get the laws worked around in their favor. While lowly average Americans are strictly (and stupidly) forbidden from visiting Cuba except on academic, religious, journalistic or cultural exchange trips, Beyonce and Jay-Z spent their fifth wedding anniversary there for educational reasons.
In other travel news, Vice President Joe Biden recently traveled to Paris with a healthy entourage for a night. The trip cost you $585,000 for the hotel stay alone. But if you think that is ridiculous, youre a small person.

Eighties rockers A Flock Of Seagulls have lost $70,000 (£46,670)-worth of stage equipment and computer files for frontman Mike Score's upcoming solo album after a thief stole their rented van from a hotel parking lot in Southern California.
Score reveals the theft occurred at around 2am (local time) on Sunday (21Jul13) as the Brit and his bandmates slept at the Comfort Inn in Downey. They called the police when they awoke and realised their vehicle had been taken.
Cops are now using hotel surveillance footage to track down the main suspect, who was shown jumping out of the passenger seat of another car and breaking into their white van before driving off.
Score is convinced the group was followed from their gig in Bellflower on Saturday night (20Jul13) as the robber is reportedly shown on tape heading straight for the stars' vehicle, which contained a keyboard, two Fender Aerodyne Telecaster electric guitars and a customised drum kit, among other instruments and equipment.
The theft is all the more heartbreaking for Score because the singer had left hard drives full of new tracks for his debut solo release in the van.
He tells the Los Angeles Daily News, "We were pretty close to the end (of the recording process). It's 18 months of work just basically thrown into the trash because some people don't have a real life and have to steal from others. People who do this kind of thing will never have a real life; I think karma in the end will come around and take whatever they have got."
Despite the theft, the I Ran (So Far Away) hitmakers managed to press ahead with a planned show at the Concerts on the Green event in nearby Woodland Hills on Sunday afternoon, using rented instruments and technical equipment.

Bipin Joshi is a software consultant, an author and a yoga mentor.
He embraced the path of classical Yoga 22+ years ago and imparts the knowledge of Ajapa Yoga to selected individuals.
His style of teaching presents an integrated and holistic approach to meditation built on the foundations of Shaiva, Nath, and Datta sampradaya.
Although Bipin got introduced to yoga during his childhood, his real journey on the path of yoga and spirituality started when he miraculously came across Dnyaneshwari written
by Saint Dnyaneshwara, a 13th century yogi of the Nath tradition. The poetic rendering of the Kundalini Yoga from Dnyaneshwari mesmerized him completely and he took to the practice of yoga as described in the ancient yoga texts.
In due course of time he received intense Shaktipata and Swapna Diksha from his Ishtam followed by Kundalini awakening in the temple of Lord Shiva situated at Tryambakeshwara.
In addition to authoring 10+ programming books for international publishers such as WROX and Apress, Bipin has authored two books - Devachya Davya Hati
and Nath Sanketinchaa Danshu - in Marathi throwing light on his own experiences of spiritual awakening
and sadhanas of Shaiva Sampradaya.
Bipin was also a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP), a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) and a Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD) between 2002 and 2008.
You may read more details about him here.
"I am practicing Ajapa Meditation as taught by you regularly. I would like to thank you for your wonderful teachings. Before attending your course I always considered myself an underachiever. But no more. Your combination of Pranayama and Meditation has played a vital role in unlocking my true potential. I am quite positive towards my job and life in general. Thank you once again."
"I am delighted to say that your teachings did wonders in my life. Extremely happy and satisfied. At the time of joining your classes I was undergoing through a tough patch in my life. I was stressed and nervous about everything... job, social contacts, life everything. After learning meditation from you things changed. I found myself relaxed and confident. Now Ajapa has become part of my life. I have also suggested this course to my friends."

did anyone know a source where i could get the monthly forex trading volumes ?
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards
There isn't one. There isn't a central exchange for trading forex so there isn't any way of measuring it.
Sure, but maybe some big broker are will show theyr trading balance ?
Iam sure i cant get the total volume, but i want to know what currency pairs will me the most important and move the market.
Your questions are based on a misapprehension about how the market works and what moves prices.
The balance of any big broker isn't going to tell you what you need to know. Even all the retail brokers' balances added together or averaged out represent only a tiny fraction of the interbank market.
Retail traders' volumes aren't what moves the market, and institutional traders' volumes aren't available.
Volumes are available for forex futures, not for spot forex.
many thanks for your answer.
I know you are right.
Do you think the futures reflect a important part of the total volume ?
Iam thinking about a strenght Indicator.
I cant imagine that the indicators are out there reflect the real currency strenght.
You dont think a 1% EURUSD is more important then a 1% EURNZD Move ?
Also,you can see the CME monthly volume reports for FX futures here:
Volume & Open Interest Reports
On the document, FX data starts at page 13, listed by last two months, the last month the previous year, and the rate of change...
Fantic,if you have time please take a look at this thread:
A brief share, questions around volume, any contribution welcome.
PipMeHappy thanks for your efforts.
Will check that tomorrow.
Do you think the CME stuff will give a small realistic outlook in the Volumes ?
Is there some of these information where the HFT happen ?
Or do you believe it is complete useless ?
I dont need the realtime - "only" the most traded pairs descend sortet

Jul.22 (GMM) While some purists mourn for F1's days of old, Mika Hakkinen thinks the sport is better than ever.
The 1998 and 1999 world champion admitted to Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat that his legendary pass on Michael Schumacher at Spa in 2000 would have been a lot easier with 'DRS'.
But he also insisted: "The racing today is undoubtedly better than in my time.
"Now there's so many different winners from different teams, and so many passes and different fights.
"Overall, it is much more exciting now than when I was racing," said the 43-year-old Finn, who won 20 Grands Prix with McLaren until his retirement in 2001.
Hakkinen is at Hockenheim this weekend, as he is involved in the management of Williams' reserve and Friday driver Valtteri Bottas.

Keystone Rewinds the '50s was not only a huge fundraising success for Keystone Montessori, but also a family fun event for the 590 who were in attendance.
Some of the family friendly activities included a petting zoo; multiple bouncers; mobile game truck; a Ferris wheel, and a live band led by Keystone's music teacher. There were also guest performances by Tony Joseph, a former Crests band member, and the Keystone Choir.
Following the fair portion of the event, the children enjoyed their own age appropriate parties while the parents participated in a live auction, led by professional auctioneer, Daren Shumway. The hallmark auction items were student created art projects, along with uniquely procured pieces, such as vacation packages and one-of-a-kind experiences for both adults and children.

UBS Warburg Cuts Ford to 'Hold'
UBS Warburg downgraded Ford Motor (F ) to reduce from hold.
Analyst Saul Rubin says while he believes the company's dividend is secure in 2001, the combination of cash burn, deteriorating market share and industry conditions all pose a threat to dividend longevity. He says the company will likely choose a better credit rating over a higher dividend, but in the end, both may be cut.
Rubin thinks cutting the dividend will not make enough of an impact, and will leave some investors uncertain of the company's strategy. He projects a 41% slashing within the next 12-18 months as the reasonable way to rebalance payout ratios. He cut the $2.60 2002 EPS estimate to $2.00, and cut the $22 target to $20; citing heightened concerns over Ford's inability to stem market share losses.

Originally published in hardback in 1942, with this Red Circle paperback appearing in 1949, Leg Artist is the story of a model named Lee Martin who rises to the top of her profession only to be targeted by a con man and felled by the tabloid press. The title refers to the photographic arts but is also a double entendre, as a "leg artist" is mid-century slang for a man adept at picking up women. Harvey revisited this theme later with 1950's Leg-Art Virgin. Red Circle was part of a publishing group put together by U.S. publisher Martin Goodman, and some of these companies evolved into Timely Comics, which in turn morphed into Marvel Comics. The art for this cover is by unknown.

So, we watched the entirety of the new Netflix series Luke Cage. Our love of blaxploitation films made it mandatory. Of course, Luke Cage isn't blaxploitation—it's serious black-oriented drama. But anyway we queued it up. For those who don't know, the series is based on a Marvel Comics character who was a bulletproof, super strong black man who lived in Harlem. The show does away with the comic book Cage's bright yellow costume, but leaves the Harlem setting, political machinations, and dealings of crime kingpins that intertwine as normal people try to get on with their lives.
We think American broadcast media need more shows that reflect reality. Here's the reality—the U.S. is both diverse and extraordinarily segregated. 75% of white Americans have zero black friends, while around 60% of blacks have zero white friends. 100% white environments and white points of view have been shown on television for decades. Luke Cage airs a black point of view, with complex relationships, romantic entanglements, ambitions, dreams, and dealings with harsh realities. There should be room for that, particularly considering television history. On a completely different note, we really are looking forward, twenty or thirty years from now, to a scholarly examination of all these damned superhero shows and movies. There's a real pathology here.

Sad news just off the wire—unique, prolific, and influential French illustrator Jean Giraud has died aged 73 after a long battle with cancer. Giraud broke onto the art scene in 1965, won his first awards by 1973, and by 1975 had adopted the pseudonym Moebius and developed into a graphic arts master. He worked in the comics medium quite a bit as both a writer and artist, and in addition to nine Marvel/Epic graphic novels, and work on longrunning Marvel characters like the Silver Surfer, was also a regular in the pages of the seminal French sci-fi magazine Métal Hurlant—known in the U.S. as Heavy Metal. Aside from all that, he also worked extensively in motion picture production design, and his efforts helped shape films such as Alien, Willow, Tron and The Fifth Element. It's been a rough week for the art world—Ralph McQuarrie died less than a week ago. We've gathered up a few Giraud/Moebius pieces below so those who don't know this master can get a sense of his singular style.

So many comic book characters have tangled ancestry. Star-Lord aka Peter Quill is yet another example. Under the direction of two creative teams that each had different ideas of what he should be, Peter was first a human orphan, then a man who thought he was human only to find he was the spawn of fantastic beings from a distant planet. Later it turns out being Star-Lord is a sort of rotating honor, like hosting Saturday Night Live, except with the power to fly away when the laughs don't come. Not to be confused with the entirely distinct Starlord published by British imprint IPC in 1978, Star-Lord debuted on Marvel in 1976.

The Story of Jack and Rossie Chapter ElevenMature
Chapter Eleven. Jack
I could have heard Rossie's scream from a hundred miles away. The people standing around waiting for buses outside did jump and look around in confusion, but didn't seem at all concerned.
I ran to the corner of the building to see Al, leaning over the bannister, staring down at the river.
"Al!" I shouted. "What happened? Where's Rossie?"
He turned cruel, hard eyes on me. "Al. Yes, Al will be putty in my hands once he finds out that his darling Rosie has died at my hands."
I shot to his side, and saw immeditaely what he'd been looking at; there was a swirling vortx of muddy water directly below us, bubbles rising to the surface.
"Mink," I growled. "You tricked me."
He rolled his eyes. "Well, believe me, it wasn't hard." He paused. "I suppose you're gonna try pull her out? Be the hero you never were?" He reached inside his brown jacket, staring off into the distance. "Good luck with that."
I barely registered what he had in his hand when he flicked it towards me and with a bang, there was a crippling, unbelievable agony in the left side of my stomach. I cried out and collapsed against the railings.
He tucked the gun back inside his jacket, and turned away from me. He started to walk away, as if he hadn't just done anything; I'd never started a fight with anyone before, but I was tempted to take him down right there, gun shot wound or no gun shot wound.
But Rossie! I pulled myself up onto the railing, leaving a trail of blood on the silver poles, and dropped myself to the narrow bank. I clutched my painful side as I took an eight-foot slide to the water, and when I dropped inside, it was a lot deeper than I'd expected.
I'd done a life saving course one summer, but that was years ago. Right now all I had was adrenaline. And whatever determination I possessed.
I surfaced for air; muddy water gushed into my lungs. I gasped. "ROSSIE!" I screamed, hoping somehow she'd hear me.
I looked around for the voice. Rossie - my beautiful Rossie - had swam to the bank at the far side, and was trying to haul herself out of the water.
I dipped underwater again, but this time no sense of panic shot through me. Even the giant hole in my side was numbed a little. I was so relieved that I inhaled another gulp of foul water.
The bracelet... I reached for my pocket, hoping it was still there.
Had to give it to you... Had to tell you...

Wonders of Sprouting: The Many Benefits of Soaking Nuts
Soaking and sprouting grains and legumes is a very popular practice. The health benefits of sprouts are well-known and their delicious taste definitely helps with popularizing this type of 'cooking'. However, few people realize that soaking nuts is just as beneficial.
Nuts, make an amazing snack, so they are very popular. They can be consumed in a variety of ways, and the most popular is adding them to various desserts and confections. This food provides you with large amounts of essential nutrients and proteins, so including nuts into your diet is a smart decision, but do you need to soak them before eating?
Yes, you definitely do!
Soaking nuts isn't a very popular practice because this isn't a mandatory cooking practice for them. Unlike legumes and seeds, which often can't be cooked properly without a thorough soaking first, you can add 'dry' nuts to any dish or snack on them directly without any danger to your health. This food would taste delightful in either form, so you can't really use a change of flavor as motivation to start soaking nuts.
Considering all this, it seems that there is no reason to waste your time for this kind of preliminary food preparation. However, if you look a little bit deeper, you will see that giving the nuts a thorough soak before you start eating them, makes a great deal of difference in their nutritional value.
Why Everyone Should Start Soaking Nuts?
The answer to this question is 'phytic acid'. This element is also present in grains and legumes, though nuts have a lesser amount of it. In essence, a nut is a seed of a tree, and phytic acid is the element created by nature to bind the nutrients inside the seed. Ingesting this chemical can be dangerous to your health, which is the reason why some types of legumes must be soaked, lest they poison you.
As nuts contain little phytic acid, they aren't particularly dangerous to your health, especially if you don't overindulge in this food on a daily basis. However, there are two very good reasons that explain why you should remove this element from the nuts before eating them:
- It reduces the nutritional value of the food.
- It interferes with digestion and can cause stomachache and other problems.
Soaking nuts for a few hours (depending on the type of nut) breaks down phytic acid. This releases the minerals and vitamins and actually promotes the production of various enzymes inside the nut. The enzymes act in reverse to the ones binding the nutrients to prevent the premature sprouting of the seed. They trigger the reactions that make the nut 'believe' that it should start growing into a tree. This pushes the chemical processes inside the seeds to go haywire and start unlocking all their carefully hidden potential, releasing more vitamins and minerals that should promote the growth of a new plant.
In addition to a huge boost in nutritional value of individual nuts, soaking them has the added benefit of making this food easier to digest. Pythic acid and other enzymes that 'lock' the growth potential of the seed, are so difficult to break down that your intestines can't handle them effectively. As a result, many people suffer from bouts of indigestion, and often constipation, when they eat large amounts of nuts at once.
Those with sensitive stomachs or some digestive problems might start feeling discomfort after consuming as little as 3-4 nuts. Soaking nuts should prevent these negative reactions in everyone, except those with extreme sensitivity to the food or severe digestive issues. Note that nut allergies are relatively common and exceedingly dangerous. If you are prone to allergic reactions, you should be very careful with this food.
How to Soak Nuts
Soaking nuts is very easy, and it's up to you to decide whether you want to get them a quick soak to break down the 'bad' enzymes or outright sprout them. Nuts sprouts have similar benefits to grain and legume sprouts, which means that they contain more nutrients and are easier to digest. However, they taste rather different from dried nuts, so be sure to try them and discover whether you like the flavor.
To soak nuts, you'll need to take the following steps:
- Put nuts into a glass jar.
- Fill the jar with enough water to cover the nuts.
- Leave them to soak for a specified period of time.
- Rinse the nuts thoroughly and enjoy eating a much more nutritious variation of this food.
The times for soaking nuts vary:
- Macadamia nuts – 4 hours
- Cashews – 6 hours
- Walnuts, pine nuts, pecans, hazelnuts – 8 hours
- Almonds, Brazil nuts – 12 hours
Use cold filtered water and be sure to discard it right after soaking as it's filled with all the chemicals you wanted to remove from the nuts. Adding a bit of salt to the water will 'pull out' the nutrients more efficiently, but it might change the taste a bit so you should try both options and see which you like best.

MSc Conservation Science and Policy
Taught by internationally recognised experts active at the science/policy interface, this interdisciplinary programme examines both scientific and policy-oriented aspects of conservation. Teaching covers the breadth of this important field, examining how conservation goals may be achieved under climate change scenarios, in combination with food security requirements, and taking account of social justice. The breadth of the degree gives flexibility to pursue those areas most relevant to your professional development and contains a significant research component supported by leading researchers.
The degree is designed to offer you considerable scope to tailor your studies to focus on the topics you wish to pursue. Integral to the whole programme is extensive liaison with conservation practitioners from a wide range of collaborating governmental and non-governmental organisations such as Butterfly Conservation, Marine Conservation Society and Natural England; and a broad suite of organisations in Africa including Kenya Wildlife Service, Solio Ranch and Wildlife Direct. Key individuals from some of these organisations contribute to classes and field visits and a number of our project students will be placed with such organisations.
A special feature of the programme is the Kenya field trip, which includes visits to some of East Africa's most famous conservation areas, as well as in-depth discussions with a wide range of stakeholders about synergies and trade-offs between conservation and development. The trip provides you with opportunities to see firsthand how conservation science operates within particular policy contexts.

A perfect environment in which to study conservation science and policy
This Masters is based at the University of Exeter's Penryn Campus in Cornwall in new buildings with state-of-the-art facilities, in a region facing key challenges in balancing conservation with other goals. Cornwall is an exceptional place in which to study issues related to the environment and sustainability. The county is a perfect living laboratory which offers a diverse range of marine and terrestrial habitats, a wealth of natural resources and creative and resilient communities.

With some bad games releasing i have been questioning myself if preordering games is good. With games becoming more known and people get so called "bonuses" when they preorder a game. I kind of get the bonus, but with all different bonuses making developers make special bonuses for each retailer and spending actual time on it is deemed very unecessary. Now i get the whole pre-order bonus thing, but making different ones for different retailers is just stupid and unfair for the consumer. They should be battling for the cheapest games, not the best pre-order bonuses. You could also say that preordering a game is unecessary. I usually don't preorder games unless there is something special i have been reading and watching really careful and been looking forward for a long time. But there are many that don't do that, and when they get a bad game, they have already put out money for it. It's even worse for Steam users, if you preordered the game and you don't like it, tough luck. It's hard to get your money back(there are ways off course, but it tends to be way harder then giving it back to a retailer). So when people preorder games they are putting out money for a game that hasn't got any reviews yet, nor have they actually gotten to try it. Some games have a demo, yes. but that is just a taste of what the game is, it's not the actual game. I don't think we should continue with this preorder madness. When we do, we are supporting bonuses for games for different retailers, when instead it should be equal to all

Excellent. That inspired me to try it for the first time. For others going through this also, I had to install the following packages on Debian testing for this to work (which of course sucked in lots more packages). apt-get install pkg-config apt-get install libgnomeui-dev apt-get install libgnomeui-dev apt-get install libgnomeprintui2.2-dev apt-get install python-gnome2-dev apt-get install python-gtk2-dev I used the --enable-gcw --with-pkg-config for ./configure, and after that configure excecuted without any gcw-related warning messages. I then tried make on a system with no installed version. That found trouble in the style of the plplot include files. The prefix "plplot/" should not be used for those any more. (see my recent commit to fix that). After a successful build and install I copied the installed examples to /tmp and they built without problems. Normally, I use the plplot-config style of build since that is the one that will be available on all unix platforms and I therefore want to keep testing it, but the pkg-config style of build forced by the ./configure option pkg-config worked in this case as well. I then tried c/x23c -dev gcw, and python/x23 -dev gcw, and indeed those results look good. Could you please change the configuration so we reserve the use of the --pkg-config option for the example builds in case the user wants to use that system for those builds? For the gnome canvas build, you must have pkg-config installed on the users system so it is a necessity rather than an option if you want to use the gnome canvas. Therefore, in that case simply check that pkg-config is installed and go on from there without even interrogating whether the user has specified the --pkg-config option or not. This should allow me to continue checking the normal plplot-config style of example builds and your -dev gcw at the same time. I did run into a PYTHONPATH problem with python/plplotcanvas_animation.py and python/plplotcanvas_demo.py which I have fixed with a recent commit. > I > can see now what all of the excitement is about.

The BEST Results!
I have been cleaning & staining decks for over 20 years. In this time I have perfected my cleaners for all types and conditions of wood. All work is done by me. I do not hire crews to do the job. I am at every job making sure you get it done right the first time.
About Us
This deck was gray and covered in mildew. After applying my cleaner and letting it do its magic I gently washed the entire deck. Then applied a brightener and rinsed. After replacing some boards that were damaged beyond repair I applied 2 coats of stain. Needless to say the customer was very pleased with the outcome.
Our WOrk
In our 20 years of deck cleaning and restoration, we have produced many examples of outstanding results. Use the button below to see our before and after gallery. Contact us with any questions and we look forward to adding your deck to our gallery and adding you to our list of happy customers.

His Life and Times
Tauris Parke 2012
Paperback 270pp
9781848859043   Product Code: 21374
Virgil, the most famous of Roman poets, has fired the imagination of generations of writers, poets and readers. He has been the classic poet for two thousand years. In this biography, Peter Levi uses Virgil's poetry - the Eclogues, Georgics and the Aeneid - as well as historical and archaeological evidence to discard many of the myths surrounding Virgil's life and reveal the life of a poet whose powerful imagination helped shape the epic vision of modern man.

I return from a specialist mission to be approached by an offer that I can't refuse literally and I embark on an enormous mission.
Russia, 2002
The rifle butt was pressed into my shoulder; as I lay on my stomach waiting for him. The rifle I'd decided to use was an M24 7.62mm with a telescopic sight. I looked down at my watch 11:54, Ok one minute, Marksmanship principles, breath steady, focus. I thought to myself. I was lying on a dusty floor of a bank that had been shut recently. My fingers were starting to numb because of the immense cold from the recent winter and some snow was still resting gently on the floor. I could see the target building easily; it was a large house with gates and long driveway with ornate columns near the door of the house.
A voice crackled in through the ear piece. "The target is on the way to the house, just passed our O.P should be arriving in about five minutes, running a bit late. Good luck mate."
OK this gives me more time to prepare for when he does eventually arrive. Next to me just within arms reach was my operational vest loaded out with spare mags and two smokes, and on my back was a HK G36C but I was hoping I wouldn't need that. My heart was beating steadily I looked back for my escape route. Behind me was a metal door which led downstairs and into the main foyer. I had a Ford Explorer waiting by the black door.
Good now just wait. I looked forward again and immediately saw him, black 4x4 pulled up to the gates and slowly drove up the long driveway. I cocked the rifle slowly and looked down the sight. Two gorilla like men got out of the front of the 4x4 and walked round to the back looking round suspiciously. One of them stopped by the door and muttered in to his sleeve whilst the other opened one of the rear doors. I removed the safety catch and waited for the pink mist, but the person that got out of the car wasn't who I was expecting. It wasn't the target at all. The person I'd least expected got out the car and strutted forwards towards the door and knocked twice. Abdul Mohamed a key member in the Mujahedeen was now wanted by the entire U.N. I needed to decide whether to take the shot I had a clear line of sight and the windage was gentle. Another 4x4 pulled up to the gates and began crawling up to the house like a creature and came gently to a halt. The same routine as before two men came from the front of the car and one opened the rear door whilst the other scanned the surrounding area. It was him, Dimitri Sakharov; He walked towards Abdul and spread his arms. Abdul turned around and smiled a plastic smile. That's right keeping smiling. The rifle was pointed straight at Dimitri's arms dealing head. 3, 2, 1. I squeezed the trigger gently and felt the harsh kick back. The round hit the side of Dimitri's head and erupted with a spray of reddish pink. That was only half the job, stay cool.
Immediately, I rolled over staying low and put on my ops vest. Going back to my rifle I wiped it down with a tissue. Disassembled it and threw it into an air vent that was near my exit. I opened the door whilst retrieving my G36C and pulling back on the cocking handle and releasing it forward. I walked downstairs. It was dark and dusty but I couldn't stop all cover had been blown and I needed to get out of here.
"Cover's blown. Leaving now should be at EP in" I looked down at my watch "ten minutes prepare extraction."
I jumped into the ford and slammed the keys into the ignition and kicked down on the acceleration I pulled away quickly and had no fear I left before I could be traced. I drove quickly down the icy road and sped along a small street. I saw the car and brought mine to a halt. I jumped into the new explorer and looked to the left.
"What took you so long?" Mac said with a grin. I'd known Mac since secondary school and we'd become like brothers even though we met by having a fight. He'd always had the same boyish attitude and loved adrenaline. He had a very "live today, Die tomorrow." Way about him.
"Unexpected visitor, didn't ping that on the OP?" I replied trying to find out why Abdul was there.
"No mate, why what happened at the house?" he asked looking a bit concerned.
"It's another story just get your arse in gear and lets go." I said just wanting to get out of Russia and back in Hereford.
Mac didn't say anything he just drove fast and didn't stop the entire time we were travelling. We took back roads and kept quite. I was constantly observing and the roads and watching out for more Russians. A car came speeding out from a small road, at one point but luckily it turned the other direction. We kept driving and after what felt like a lifetime later. We arrived at a field and saw a small private helicopter and got in. The helicopter flew us to a public airport and we jumped on to the first business class flights back to London.

Zoolander 2: Hansel and Derek don't look so hot right now

(12A) Ben Stiller, 102 mins. Starring: Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Penélope Cruz
As a blockbuster that's intended to turn history into, like, fun for kids, this is not as irksome as Nicolas Cage's two National Treasure movies.
You can just about make out an interesting film underneath this one, rather as Jennifer Aniston's bone structure remains discernible underneath overstretched skin (nothing ages you half as much as trying too hard to look young).
Barack Obama can count himself lucky. His much younger half-brother George has caused a flutter by getting arrested for marijuana possession. But on the Richter scale of sibling embarrassments, this one is a barely discernable tremor.
Wes Anderson is the king of quirky comedies and his latest offering is both brilliant and infuriating.

The first thing I heard was giggling. I frowned but didn't want to wake up. I was comfortable on my right side. I felt something warm pressed to my chest and a pillow under my head. Figuring it was my cat, I put an arm around her.
But it wasn't my cat.
"Hurry up! Before they wake up," I heard Janine whisper.
I heard a shutter click and opened my eyes. Our moms were standing in front of us, broad grins on their faces. I looked at the TV. It was playing the last Die Hard movie's menu on loop. Deidre was what I had thought was my cat. I quickly removed my arm.
"What time is it?" I muttered, rubbing my eyes.
"Around 10," my mother answered, still grinning.
"In the evening?" I asked, sitting up and Deidre stirred in her sleep.
I froze, not wanting to wake her.
"Yep," Janine said, smirking. "Guess you were pretty tired, huh?"
My mom winked and I groaned, laying back down. I had been pretty comfortable....
"Well, we're going to bed," my mom said and turned the TV off.
I rolled my eyes but closed them again, deciding to humor them for this one time. As the lights turned off and I repositioned the pillow, my arm immediately went back around Deidre.
I was just humoring our moms. Right?
"Shit, shit, shit."
I woke again. Deidre was no longer on the couch. She was pulling her shoes on and tripped over the coffee table.
"Shit!" she whisper-yelled.
"Are you okay?" I asked, jumping to my feet and helping her up.
"I'm so late for work," she groaned and I glanced at the time.
"Deidre, it's only 7:30," I said slowly and she stopped.
"Is it?" she asked and I nodded. "Oh."
"What time do you have to go into work?"
I grabbed my keys. "Let's go early and we can get some coffee."
She thought it over before nodding. "Okay."
I led her out to my car. When we got in, I passed her the comb I kept in the glovebox. She quickly ran it through her hair, grumbling when it would get stuck in a knot. It was rather entertaining, listening to her swear under her breath. She was the last person I expected that from.
I kept waiting for her to mention how we slept last night but she never did. I contemplated bringing it up but we pulled up to the coffee shop before I could. I opened my door but she hadn't even unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked.
She was chewing on her lower lip, staring at the front door. "Larry doesn't know," she said.
I leaned back so that I was sitting normally. "No one is supposed to," I reminded her.
"What are we going to tell people then?" she asked, frowning at me. "I may not have friends but I know you do."
I shrugged. "We'll just tell them we're dating. When you think about it, we kind of are."
She chuckled, unbuckling her seatbelt finally. "Except we skipped the first date and went straight to the ring."
I laughed, too. Normally I was a zombie in the mornings but something about her made me want to be more awake. I opened the door for her. Larry turned and looked confused to see us walk in together. He stared as she stretched. Her eyes were closed so she didn't see the utter confusion and shock on his face.
"Well, good morning," he said and Deidre smiled at him.
"Good morning."
"How were the lines?" he asked and she hesitated. He narrowed his eyes at me then looked back at her. "You know, I noticed the van is missing."
I sighed and leaned against the counter. "Yeah, about that," I said slowly. He crossed his arms across his chest. "Deidre and I are dating."
He frowned and looked at her. "Dee, could you go make sure the croissants aren't burning?"
"Sure," she said and went to the back.
I opened my mouth to speak but Larry punched me.
"Dude, what the fuck?" I snapped, stumbling back.
Larry didn't speak for a few minutes. He was glaring at me. Finally, he pointed a finger at my chest.
"I know you, Artemis," he said in a low voice so Deidre wouldn't hear. "I know how you treat women. If you're going to play games with Deidre, I will personally make sure you pay for it."
"Relax," I said. "It's not like that."
"A week ago you didn't even like her. What's really going on?"
"I told you the truth. We're dating."
"So, since you're dating, you convinced her to sell the van and bought her new clothes?" he challenged, putting his hands on the counter and leaning forward. "Where did you dump her mother, huh?"
"Stop it," I said, feeling sickened at his words. "I wouldn't just dump her mom to fend for herself!"
"You're lying to me," he stated. "And I'll find out what's going-"
"Croissants are fine," Deidre announced, walking out with her apron on. She frowned and ducked under the counter. "Artemis! What happened to your chin?"
"I tripped and hit it on the counter," I said, glaring a little at Larry. "Apparently Larry had been mopping this morning."
She looked at the floor. "But I don't see any-"
"Iced white mocha?" Larry interrupted.
"Oh! Yeah, please. Go ahead and take it from my check."
"Don't be stupid," I said. "I'll buy it for you."
There was that adorable blush when people did things for her. I ordered my usual mocha latte and we sat down by the window. Larry went into the back and I heard him banging things around. She shook her head.
"I wonder whats wrong with him," she said. "He's not a morning person, but he's never been in such a bad mood."
"Must've woken up on the wrong side of the bed," I shrugged, blowing on my coffee before taking a sip. "Do you normally do the food?"
She looked at the door again.
"No.... I just do coffee." She sighed in frustration. "So why did he have me check the croissants?"
I looked for inspiration to change the subject. It was snowing again.
"Did you play in the snow a lot?" I asked.
Her eyes lit up. "Yeah," she said. "On the days we both had off, my mom and I would go to the park and have snowball fights. They never lasted long, but it was great to get out and stretch our legs."
"What about snowmen?"
"We never had the time," she said sadly.
I didn't know how to respond to that but she didn't seem to need one. She looked out the window and I slid my hand over so our fingertips were touching. She smiled nervously.
"Your shift is starting soon," I said after we sat in silence for about ten minutes.
It wasn't awkward, though, to my surprise. It was very comfortable, even if we didn't hold hands completely.
"Well, I guess I'll officially start then."
"What time do you get off? I'll come pick you up."
Larry came out from the back and narrowed his eyes at me. I shook my head wearily. He was going to be the hardest to keep the secret from.
"She gets off at close," he snapped and she glared at him.
"Seriously, Larry," she said. "What's your problem? You're never like this!"
"I just don't feel well," he muttered. "She doesn't really get off at close," he added.
"I get off at seven," she said and I nodded, getting up.
"Well, I'll see you at seven, then."
"Bye," she waved, getting back behind the counter and pulling up the register computer.
