As passionate as it is profound, Atlas Shrugged is one of the most influential novels of our time. In it, Rand dramatizes the main tenets of objectivism, her philosophy of rational selfishness. She explores the ramifications of her radical thinking in a world that penalizes human intelligence and integrity.
Part mystery, part thriller, part philosphical inquiry, part volatile love affair, Atlas Shrugged is the book that confirmed Ayn Rand as one of the most popular novelists and most respected thinkers of the 20th century.

"A lot lost in the abridgement"
I have also listened to the unabridged Christopher Hurt version for the first 20 hours and found the story to have far more depth than this one. Sadly I was unable to navigate the chapters on my kindle on the unabridged version, so was unable to continue after accidentally resetting it to the start again. Audible kindly exchanged it for this abridged version, but the story is simply not as compelling.
I would definitely recommend going with the unabridged version if you can navigate the chapters properly on your device.
I'm not even sure how I came across this audiobook as I had never even heard of it before! I'm glad I did though as I'm quite certain this is the best book I've ever listened to or read! Even more amazing is how relevant it is to what's going on the world today! The narration is fantastic as well. Going to get a hold of the book so I can read the full version!
"If only Obama would read this ...."
Should be required reading by every politician, not just the nuts on the left, but the nuts on the right. And yes, I think they are all nuts. This book is our future. Sad.
But already occurring .
"Edward Herrmann is great, but get the unabriged"
I would definitely recomment this book to a friend. I listen to it once a year.
This is by far her best. yes, it may be painfully long but once done it is very satisfying.
Just get the unabridged version. The abridged cuts way too much stuff out and makes the story hard to follow.
"Great Book. Great Quality"
I really enjoyed this book. It is Abridged, but don't let that scare you as it is still very detailed. I didn't listen to the enabridged version, but I cannot image I missed anything. The sound quality was great. I had no issues. I think I have my settings set to download enhanced or something. The Narrater is just awesome. He is clear easy to understand and very enjoyable to listen too. He uses different voices for each character and before long you start to recognize each charater voice. This made it very easy to follow along.
I highly recommend this book. Great story, yet has a very important message. Ayn Rand wrote this book so long ago as a foresight to what will happen if the government controls society for our safety and fairness. LISTEN TO IT.
"Thought provoking, timely,"
Ayn Rand is a wonderful writer - she illustrates her perspective beautifully, her views are not necessarily mainstream but they are well presented here.
"Frieghtenly current"
This book was written in the 50's but has concerning applications to what happening today both in the economy and our governments involvement. You'll listen to the book and then listen to the news and will have to remind yourself you've stopped listening to the book. Amazingly appropriate for the time. I would recommend the abridged version for those with limited attention span like me....
"Absolutely Wonderful"
As social philosophy, Atlas Shrugged is a surprisingly well-expressed work that is incorporated into a compelling storyline. The author framed his arguments in such a way that every reader can understand. Moreover, the lessons learned can be applied to today's headlines, and will undoubtedly be applicable tomorow.
"Great story and the narration was great too."
I love the way Ayn Rand perceived the world and how she was able to express it in detail through her characters.
"Now you can answer the question: Who is John Galt?"
So many people have read this book, yet I can't help but ask why the world is as it is today. How many times have we sold our souls and for what. If only we had the courage to rise to the challenge described here. The book is exceedingly long but each aspect of the story of these people is essential to fully answer the question "Who is John Galt"? Are we each the John Galt of our world?

Creating opportunities for small business to thrive
April 24th, 2008 | Published in Google Public Policy
It's generally understood that Google's free products like Search, Gmail, and many others are supported by advertising. What is not as well known is that, in addition to providing useful products to our users, Google is a platform for and a partner to small businesses across America.
This morning David Fischer, our VP for Global Online Sales and Operations, will testify before the U.S. House Small Business Committee to explain just how Google has become an engine of economic growth and opportunity for hundreds of thousands of small businesses.
In his testimony, David will talk about how Google AdWords enables small businesses of all kinds to place ads for their products and services next to Google search results, giving them access to millions of our users around the world. Small businesses can set their own ad budgets and can arrange to pay only when users click on an ad. As a result, these businesses able to find and connect with new customers more efficiently and cost-effectively.
In addition to helping small businesses find customers and grow, Google's AdSense program has enabled web publishers, an entirely new generation of small businesses, to emerge and thrive on the Internet. As David's testimony puts it,
Our business model enables entrepreneurs, educators, bloggers, and many others to generate revenue by sharing their expertise and opinions with the world. In many cases, these individuals are able to dedicate themselves full-time to their publications because of the support they receive from our advertising programs.
The impact of Google's technology on the small business economy is significant. In 2007, for example, we paid $4.5 billion to AdSense partners who use our ads to earn money from their websites.
Behind those numbers are the real stories of people like Regina Fagan:
One of our Harlem, New York-based advertisers, Grandma's Secrets, has used our advertising tools to gain customers in the region where it delivers baked goods. A minority-owned business, Grandma's Secrets was started in 2001 when Regina Fagan built a website to capitalize on the love for baking she developed as a young child. By targeting her Google advertisements to the New York area, Regina has been able to turn a monthly Google advertising budget of $25 into $4,000 a month in revenue.
Finally, David will highlight the fact that small business success stories like Regina's are a powerful testament to the importance of maintaining a free and open Internet. The Internet's freedom and openness gave Google a chance to succeed when it was a brand new business, and it is giving hundreds of thousands of American small businesses today a chance to compete and thrive on the web as well.
UPDATE: Check out video below of David Fischer's testimony:

A young couple from Macedonia, Philip and Marina, goes on a summer vacation on the Greek island of Crete, where by a series of unfortunate events, Marina ends up kidnapped by a nefarious human trafficking chain. What transpires next is the worst day of Philip's life, a day that will change him forever.
Nothing can withstand the power of the human will if it is willing to stake its very existence to the extent of its purpose.
− Benjamin Disraeli
Darkness. Darkness followed by a distant sound in the background, which echoed evenly at regular intervals. At the beginning he didn't quite know what to make of the strange pulsating sound, probably because he himself didn't know where he is, or for how long he had been there. He made a small effort and tried to slowly open his eyes. Suddenly, he was engulfed in a mixture of dust and bright light. At that moment he felt a sharp pain throughout his body – a response of his nervous system, which had just started working with full steam. The irritating sound was still echoing, but it was much closer, and now he could recognize that the regular intervals were actually sounds coming from ambulance siren. He tried to scan his immediate surroundings. He was in the inside of a grey SUV, or at least in what was left of it. One of the semi-crushed doors in the back, let in a beam of light from the outside that completely surrounded him. With every single ounce of willpower left, he tried to turn his body on the other side. The response instantly arrived in his brain and he loudly gasped. At the same moment, he saw Her. She was lying down motionless in front of him, with her back leaning against the wall. A single stream of blood slowly descended down the right side of her forehead. When he noticed the blood, apart from the strong physical pain, he felt another one, an inner turmoil, as if someone has just punctured a hole inside his heart. Slowly, he started remembering the events that preceeded this situation. All of a sudden, he started moving towards her, not even registering the blistering pain he felt throughout his entire body. While he was crawling with tears in his eyes, the only thing on his mind was the hope that it was not too late, that there was still time. Finally, he somehow managed to crawl near her. He raised his head, trying to get a closer look at her face. Suddenly he felt a strong pain in his temples. Overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the pain, he slowly dropped his head and passed out on her knees. The ambulance siren echoing on the outside has just stopped, while faraway in the background, several loud thunders from the upcoming storm could be heard, together with the first couple of raindrops, which had already fallen upon the Cretan soil.

|[vote] 2.2.0 tarballs
|Tue, 29 Nov 2005 07:55:48 GMT
These tarballs are Identical to 2.1.10 except for two changes: * include/ap_release.h Updated to be 2.2.0-release * The root directory was changed from httpd-2.1.10 to httpd-2.2.0 Available from: http://people.apache.org/~pquerna/dev/httpd-2.2.0/ Please vote on releasing as GA/Stable. I am sorry for the confusion on whole move of 2.1.10 to 2.2.0. This entire situation is completely undefined in our VERSIONING file, and hasn't ever happened before with these versioning rules. I believe the best way to move forward for everyone is to vote on these 2.2.0 tarballs. Hopefully we can all learn from this, and come up with a better VERSIONING policy by the time we do 2.4. Thanks, Paul.

| ryn chapter 16 . 11/18/2011
Found this as I was cleaning and started re-reading it. Could not put it down! You write Webb/Mac so well! And I'm really glad you didn't make Harm such an *** because he did have his moments. Loved the appearance of AJ and Harrison. Well done!
| summersidefolly chapter 16 . 4/7/2011
Excellent! I always wanted Webb and Mac together ever since Paraguay. To hell with Harm! :) Thanks for sharing!
| dannica webb chapter 16 . 11/11/2009
What an amazing story! There are so few well-written Clay/Mac fics out there. I really enjoyed this. Thank you :)
| Beth-TauriChick chapter 16 . 12/1/2007
Wow. This was amazing- read the whole thing from start to finish in one go - I just couldn't stop! Well done :)
| whatsnext chapter 16 . 9/16/2007
Wonderful, i couldn't stop reading!
| Bambu chapter 2 . 5/6/2007
Very nice setting of the mood and backstory. That Harm and Mac are divorced and she's doing so well in her career are perfectly plausible, and nicely played out in a show rather than tell scene between the two men. I shan't give away your gimmick about Webb, but his obvious fluster where Mac is concerned is heart-tuggingly done.
| Bambu chapter 1 . 5/6/2007
I like this opening hook you've got going, and I'm especially impressed by your idea of the significance of the gifts Webb sent Mac while he was gone. That's a brilliant deduction on your part. I also like the hints that Harm interferred with Webb at Manderley 'for Mac's sake.' I'm looking forward to the rest of your story.
| Rivana chapter 16 . 7/24/2006
All right, I can admit I'm a slasher at heart and rarely even read one chapter of a het story, but damn...this was really good. :-)
| Webbie chapter 16 . 5/20/2006
This was GREAT. Thank you for writing it and sharing. Very heart-rending and warming, aplty called Second Chances. I am glad someone gave them a chance after all.
| Judy chapter 16 . 7/15/2005
This story was tremendous! Sheer talent! Beautifully written and well crafted storyline. I loved it! Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant!
| starryeyes10 chapter 16 . 4/17/2005
great story.
| eggy weg chapter 16 . 4/17/2005
excellent, amazing fic. I hope you are planing on writing more and if you run out of story ideas just e-mail I have loads of fic ideas which i never get time to write.
| marla levy chapter 16 . 4/15/2005
What can I say? Like all your other stories, Sandra, this one had me fascinated from the very first sentence. I love the way you depict Clayton Webb as the fascinating, brilliant, very tender and vulnerable man he is. Even better, you always provide something new, different about him, exclusive of physical factors.
I hope you'll write many, many more Webb stories.
| martini1988 chapter 16 . 4/15/2005
ehh i'm more of a h&m fan so i didn't like it that much but a good story line..
| ryn chapter 16 . 4/15/2005
Simply wonderful, Sandra! Thanks for writing this superb story. The scenario was very real-no easy answers, no quick conclusions. You played out the storyline perfectly. Thanks for sharing your talent.

One was covered a couple years ago, but it had held lines and colors like the month it was put on, for real. (The other looks sharp to this day too, but is flat black.)

thebadnewshughes replied to Lochlan's topic in Tattoo AdviceMy first tattoo was put on by Stano in Daytona. I was 17 and drove down with a couple of scary older skinhead dudes who barely tolerated me. Got the comic character Judge Dredd on my shoulder, because this sort of thing happens when a dyed-in-the-wool nerd tries to be a tough guy - "I know, I'll get a tattoo of the biggest badass in my *pushes up glasses* comic book collection!" Anyway, like 10 years later that goddamn Stallone movie came out and I walked around groaning every time anybody saw the damn tattoo until a couple years back, when I buried it under this:
thebadnewshughes replied to MichelleMyles's topic in Tattoo TV Shows, Documentaries and MediaAll the tattoo shows are semi-guilty pleasures for me and my ol' lady, so we gave Tattoo School a try. As someone who's watched a lot of beloved cultural and sub-cultural traditions and artifacts get exploited, adulterated, trend-ified and generally idiot-ized throughout the past 30+ years, I'm fairly well outrage-proof at this point. And as a 43-year-old who's been hanging around tattoo shops since 17, I've seen and heard too much carny, sleazy shit to pretend modern tattooing is wholly some sacred artisanal treasure getting violated here... This irresponsible pile of shit TV show, however, legitimately depressed me. I'm generally happy to get out of the way of stupid people being stupid, but man... I want this show shut the fuck down, and with extreme prejudice. Tim, it's a good thing we share enthusiasms for particle physics, macrame, homemade cheeses and smooth jazz. We always have so much to chat about during tattoos - we'll never have to stoop to discussing some stupid TV program!
thebadnewshughes replied to timmstrating's topic in InitiationI'm using imagination to make Tim and Andy make out in my head right now. French kissing. And there's nothing anyone can do to stop me.

At least four years too late to be getting a Misfits tattoo, yet somehow a tattoo that is older than the majority of the band's fans, go figure.

What Energis, the telecoms group, gets from the deal is a share of each call terminated, which given that Freeserve is almost bound to become one of the biggest service providers in the UK, could be a quite considerable source of revenue. On top of that it will get advertising from Dixons and others that pay to be on screen, while there could also be big money to be made out of electronic commerce.
All in all, it's a wonder that so many service providers, including astonishingly the internet service offered by BT, have been able to get away with charging for so long. For telephone companies, the extra traffic provided by the internet should be as much payment as they need.
One reason they have got away with it is that the Internet industry has been imported from the US, where local calls are free and service providers thus have to charge a subscription in order to recoup their costs. Here in Britain the economics can be made to work the other way round.
All of which goes to show how far telephony tariffs have to go to become competitive with the US. It is still not possible to pay a flat rate rental in the UK for unlimited local telephone use, nor is there any likelihood of this happening while BT's local loop is so interwoven with the rest of the network. Furthermore, no competitor is going to risk starting a price war with BT by taking the initiative.
So, for the time being, ordinary domestic customers will simply have to live with much higher incremental costs for Internet usage than their American counterparts, notwithstanding the new free Internet service being offered by Dixons and Energis. Something, perhaps, at which Gordon Brown's competitiveness review should take a long hard look.

"Visual Predation," Habitat Structure, and the Ancestral Primate Niche

Many of the characters of the basic suite of primate adaptations have at one time or the other been ascribed to arboreality. Frederick Wood Jones (1916) proposed that tree climbing lead to selection for a grasping forelimb, and Grafton Elliott Smith (1924) that grasping feet and hands were an adaptation for agility in a complex three-dimensional environment. Smith argued that these developments lead to replacement of the sense of smell by the senses of vision and touch, and consequent reduction of the snout. Collins (1921) and Le Gros Clarke (1959) noted a link between frontally-directed, convergent orbits and stereoscopic vision, which, Le Gros Clarke suggested, was advantageous for estimation of distances in arboreal leaping. But Cartmill (1972; 1974a & b; 1992) has challenged this "arboreal hypothesis" (Howells, 1947), indicating that the primate facility in arboreal movement per se could be matched, or even exceeded, by animals such as squirrels, with clawed, convergent digits, enhanced sense of smell, and laterally-facing orbits. He showed that clawed cheiridia actually offer locomotor advantages on large diameter vertical supports over clawless, grasping cheiridia (Cartmill, 1972a), and noted that "Despite their laterally directed eyes (and presumed lack of stereoscopy) squirrels of several genera may leap 13 to 17 body lengths from tree to tree, which compares favorably with the 20 body lengths reported for the saltatory lemuroid Propithecus verreauxi" (Cartmill, 1974b).

Manufacturing growth nearly stalled in January while auto sales reversed, the latest in a series of weaker-than-expected economic reports. Stocks sold off hard Monday.
The Institute for Supply Management's January manufacturing index shed 5.2 points to 51.3, its lowest since May and far below forecasts, though still above the neutral 50 level.
Many respondents blamed winter weather, but key details were grim too. The new orders gauge fell 13.2 points to 51.2, the worst monthly drop in decades. Backlogs sank to a reading of 48, in con traction territory, suggesting that manufacturers lacked sufficient new business to keep busy.
Auto output has helped lead manufacturing's recovery. But car and truck sales generally disappointed in January. General Motors (GM) said Monday that U.S. sales fell 12% vs. a year earlier. Ford (F) and Toyota (TM) also reported big drops, though Chrysler and Nissan (NSANY) enjoyed solid gains.
U.S. stocks skidded on the soft ISM and auto sales. The S&P 500 lost 2.3% and the Nasdaq 2.6%.
Weather has been blamed for a rash of poor economic reports, from the December jobs report to slumping home sales.
"The weather idea seems legitimate," said Jeff Rosen, chief economist for Briefing.com, regarding the ISM report. But he believes surveys such as ISM's tend to run more optimistic than actual hard data. January's tepid growth reading may be a fair portrayal of industry's true state, while late 2013 readings may have been too high.
ISM gauges respondents' sense of whether certain conditions are better or worse — but not how much better, Rosen noted.
Scott Brown, chief economist with Raymond James, agreed that ISM doesn't measure "actual activity."
"The surveys that do haven't been as strong," he said.
Among reports that measure actual activity, durable goods orders tumbled 4.3% in December.
Manufacturing is very gradually recovering, Brown said, and its long-term prospects are bright.
"A lot of people are calling it a renaissance. I wouldn't use that term at all. We're well below where we were before the recession. But I think it's poised for more improvement."
Manufacturers employed 12.02 million in December, up from prior months but a far cry from the 17 million to 18 million during the 1980s.
Federal Reserve tapering also has roiled emerging markets and stocks globally. So it may be some time before a clearer sense of the economy emerges.
"I would have expected the economic calendar to take the focus from emerging economies," said Brown. "I think these concerns are going to stay with us and we'll be playing bond market bingo."

I woke with a start. Claude had pulled the trigger in my dream.
I realised I must have been out for a long time. All the feelings from the dream resonated around in me and tears began to fall from my eyes.
I reached down into my bag. What my searching became more frantic. I brought my bag up to my head and rummiged more. They were gone. I panicked.
I ran to the bathroom. Lighting the only small stub I had left in my bag it calmed me a little but I was still far to sober to be me. Now while I was barely ok I wanted to confront Bas.
He had left my side and was sitting behind that red girl. I stormed over still trying to shove everything to the back of my mind.
"Bas Hunny?" I bend down next to him pressing my ladys together showing them off properly.
His eyes widened and I though I saw him snarl. Haha that was really atractive. Especially since he was doing it over my ladys.
The red woman in front looked Horrified. I snarled at her and turned so I was speaking to her privatly just wispering in her ear. I dug my nails into the top of her ear. She winced.
"Off my man." I snarled. Kiss him again even just on the cheek. I will take all my bristles out of my hairbrush, fill the holes with inch pins, and make sure I give that tacky dyed ginger hair a good seeing to." I turned back to Bas and she grabbed her ear in pain.
"Bas sweety come back to our seat and stop pitying this poor wench" With that I shot her and evil glare and laughed.
As I sat back down I desperatly hoped for another stop soon. Memories I had managed to forget were flooding back and so were the emotions. I put my head in my hands and pretended to have a headache.

Ready Or Not…Here I Am (42 of 68) by Chris Brown
This content is part of a series.Ready Or Not…Here I Am (42 of 68)
Series: 30 A.D. The Jesus Story
Pastor Chris Brown
Luke 17:20-37
The Coming Of The Kingdom:
Luke 17:20-25
The kingdom of God is more of a who than a what
Therefore, we should focus more on the:
? King than the kingdom
? Giver than the gifts
? Healer than the healing
Everyone wants a when and a where, Jesus said to focus on the who and the now
Two Things to Remember:
1. There is a huge difference between knowledge and obedience
2. Depth of study does not equal depth of relationship
Three Keys To Understanding The Kingdom:
Luke 17:26-37, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 2 Corinthians 5:1-13, Galatians 2:20, 1 John 2:17
1. Our citizenship is not of this world
2. Live with eternity in mind
3. Remember, eternity started yesterday

Tower Hamlets is the borough east of central London, with very easy access to the city and central London by tube (Central line, District line and the DLR). There are also plenty of buses and night buses running 24/7 from all directions in London.
It forms the core of the East End, home to a lot of exciting history. Tower Hamlets lies east of the medieval walled City of London. Use of the term "East End" in a pejorative sense began in the late 19th century, as the expansion of the population of London led to extreme overcrowding throughout the area and a concentration of poor people and immigrants in the districts that made it up. It was also in these neighborhoods the infamous Jack the Ripper operated in 1888.
Today Tower Hamlets is a diversified borough of London, and the status has increased a lot over the last decade. This is where you find the amazing Brick Lane market, along with many hip bars. 10 minutes' walk from Brick Lane is Shoreditch, which is one of the most popular clubbing areas at the moment.

You shoudn't expect a 5 Star hotel. The room was clean and everything was working fine! Again any time! Thank you for your efforts!
Comfortable room. Cleanest bathroom I've seen in Wimdu properties. Polite and quiet fellow guests. Only down side is a little way from city centre and road noise intrusive late in the evening.
The flat was clean, and quite near of the city of London by bus. The only problem was the noise by night, in the bedroom.
A nice room. Seems a bit smaller than in the pictures, but perfectly neat. The neighbourhood was also fine, not the best one, but still ok. The time to get into the center was also fine (about 15 min). When we had to leave, we could even leave our luggage for the afternoon, wich was very helpfull.
The area is quite noisy and there is often police and ambulance driving through.
But inside the flat its clean(toilet, shower) and you can use internet and watch TV on your room. There are also the oppurtunities to cook in the kitchen and smoke on the balkony.
For the way into the city you can take the bus, which dures quite long or use tube and have to walk therefor 15 minutes.
all in all its comfortable to stay especially if one relates the effort with the price.
unfortunately the first night we had to stay in a hotel... :( the person on the phone spoke bad english and we couldn't understand her. and because we didn't receive the housenumber we could not find the apartement. the next day we could stay in the apartement which is noisy (thin windows) but clean.
Marcus was a pleasant guy ....apologised for running late. Property location not far from city but the double glaze is awful and just like sleeping outside as all the noise from outside can be heard inside. Broadband did not work ......even though that is one of the reason I book the room as I need to be able to work while at home, had to use my mobile data to connect my laptop, text Marcus and he did not reply, or come and fix the issue, overall not a good experience.
Totalmente recomendable, estuvimos mi pareja y yo durante un fin de semana, aunque estuvimos poco en la habitación la verdad que cuando llegábamos se agradece llegar a un lugar donde se puede descansar bien.
Cama grande, limpia y confortable para descansar, el baño estaba bastante limpio.
Cabe destacar que aunque no está tan cerca del tren hay una parada de autobús justo en frente que te comunica perfectamente con el centro de Londres.
Si volvemos a Londres repetiremos.
camera situata in una posizione strategica, appena esci dal portone c'è una fermata a pochi passi dalla quale è possibile prendere auto che portano in varie direzioni e in particolar modo a leverpool street, da dove e possibile prendere il treno per arrivare all'aeroporto di londra (stansted). Casa accogliente e carina ideale per ragazzi e ragazze che non pretendo grandi confort. rapporto qualità-prezzo molto buono, e proprietari disponibili

Our customer reviews for Mercure Nice Marche aux Fleurs Hotel
Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
For a clean and affordable hotel with easy access to the beach (across the street), great restaurants and shopping in old Nice, this hotel is hard to beat. Breakfast every morning too! Front desk staff was very helpful and the rooms were cleaned each morning around my schedule. Highest recommendation!

Stayed for one night on last day of September before moving to an apartment in Nice for the week - balcony room, fantastic view over Promenade Anglais. Room was very comfortable, double aspect windows on to balcony, large bed, excellent Wifi and a wonderful location by the Opera House. Nespresso coffee maker and a free safe were both most welcome. Check in was swift and efficient, as was the pre-paid check out.

It is with pleasure that we wait for you for a new stay in the Mercure Marché Aux Fleurs ****. Sincerly, Maxime General Manager
Friendly welcome on our arrival and helpful staff throughout the stay. The room was very good with all the usual additions. There are Premium rooms available too with excellent additional comforts, but the basic room is just fine. The room was alongside a stairs which fed rooms above and a little noise was present on its use. We did not hear from the occupants above though, so slept well. We ate out for the whole stay but on visiting the breakfast room were impressed with the decor. Handy for the whole city and on the front so the sea was seconds away at all times. Loads to do on the doorstep, excellent food and entertainment within 100 metres in most directions from the front door. Overall another very successful stay.

It is with pleasure that we wait for you for a new stay in the Mercure Marché Aux Fleurs ****. Sincerly, Aurélie Front Office Manager
Location is great! That was the only good thing about our stay. Room was very small, could not even open a suitcase and walk around the room. Breakfast was not worth the money! No elevator, have to lug your suitcases up a flight of steps. Bathroom shower was nice.
Dear Lily R, We thank you for having taken time to leave us your opinion after your stay in the Mercure Marché Aux Fleurs. All of our rooms are different for the size, the view and the price and there are really comfortable. The hotel have only two floors by stairs but we propose to help all of our guests at the check-in time. The breakfast buffet propose you different type of candies and drinks available for everybody. We hope this experience will not deprive the hotels of the Accor chain. Sincerely, Aurélie Front Office Manager
An excellent hotel in a great location. On the Med. Right next to the main restaurant and shopping district. Staff was friendly and spoke English. For the price, room was exceptionally large and a great value.
We stayed a week here. The staff were excellent who helped us with booking great tours and transfers to airport. The location was right on the promenade and near old town. It was a surprise to us how much we enjoyed our stay!
Dear Brum35, Thank you for having taken the time to give us your views on your stay in our hotel. My team and I are very grateful for your remarks. They will encourage us to maintain our efforts so that the services we provide for you fully meet your expectations. Looking forward to welcoming you shortly to the hotel Mercure Marché Aux Fleurs.

We've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with Sony's VAIO laptops over the years, really liking the high-end Sony VAIO Z Series, while cheaper efforts such as the VGN-NS30E/S left us completely unimpressed. Coming in at well over £1,000, we're hoping the company's new F12 falls into the former category.
Just like the Z-series, the F12 packs a boatload of impressive specifications, but rather than cramming them into as small a chassis as possible, this 16.4in laptop - measuring 263 x 41 x 387mm and weighing 3.1kg - sits firmly in the desktop replacement category. Gamers aside, it has plenty of power to be most consumers' primary machine. At its heart is an impressive 1.73GHz 740QM Intel Core i7 quad-core CPU which turbo-clocks to 2.93GHz. This is backed by 4GB of DDR3 RAM, which is as much as most users will need and plenty for the supplied 64-bit Windows 7 Premium to be happy with.
For storage there's a generous 500GB hard drive that spins at a speedy 7,200rpm, while optical duties are handled by a Blu-ray drive. Combined with the screen's 1,920 x 1,080 resolution and an Nvidia GeForce GT 330M graphics card, this makes for a very capable multimedia machine that should also have a modicum of gaming ability.
Connectivity is also well up to speed. For wireless duties we have Wi-Fi N and Bluetooth 2.1, with the always-appreciated addition of a physical wireless switch. There are three USB 2.0 ports, one of which doubles as an eSATA connector. Then there's a four-pin mini FireWire port, which is becoming quite the rarity these days.
Other data ports, including USB 3.0, can be added through the laptop's 34mm ExpressCard slot, while two separate memory card readers take Sony's proprietary MS Pro and the more common SD/MMC card formats. Finally for video we have HDMI and analogue VGA, while audio is handled by 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks, the former of which doubles as an optical digital output.
When it comes to design, as usual Sony offers something a little different from the norm. For one, we're glad to find that the F12's lid features a semi-matt finish that's far more resistant to fingerprints than the glossy alternatives found on many competitors, though it can't hold a candle to the brushed metal finish of the Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G, which in its cheaper configuration costs around the same as this Sony.
Inside, the look is almost identical to that of the Y-Series – albeit gunmetal instead of silver – but, if it ain't broke… The screen's bezel and keyboard-surround feature the same smooth semi-matt finish as the lid, while the palm rests have a micro-tile textured pattern that prevents sweaty hands from slipping and does a good job disguising grease-marks. Sony's signature green-backlit power button is also present.
I have a custom model which I bought through sony's website. If you look online occasionally sony offer a free bluray writer which is what I got. My only regret is not paying for the faster hard drive or better still the SSD drive.
I love the minimalist design and have no problem with the keyboard but I could not agree more with the comments regarding the trackpad. I will often write something and my sentence will end up being broken because of the pad reacting to my palms. Its really annoying.
I love the number pad for Photo shop. And the speakers are good too.
As for creaking my only concern is with the underneath where the drive is.
Twice in the review and in the feature table it says that the HDD is 7200 rpm but on the official Sony website the VPCF12M0E/B is clearly descibed as having a 5400 rpm HDD.
I really interested in this laptop. Can I ask a couple of questions?
How easy is it to see the text in web broswers or Word with the full HD resolution on a 16.4 screen?
How loud is the laptop? Is the noise offputting?
Nice to see the power and ethernet ports on the same side. Although the rear would be more preferable it still hinders the laptop a lot less.
How can you give this a value score of 8/10, when you gave the acer aspire 5553G 6/10?
Lets look at the facts:
According to you PCMark results, this sony is on average, 18.68% faster than the acer. So if we say the acer "scores" 100 and the sony 118.7 then the price to performance figures (lower = worse) are as follows:
Acer 100/£600 = 0.0983
Sony 118/£1200 = 0.103
so in actual fact, based on current prices, the acer 5553g is 69.5% better value. So how do you translate this as being worse value than the sony?
That's not a fair way to calculate value at all. There is always diminishing returns to price, and especially so when it comes to technology and computing power. For example the most expensive CPU chip may be much more expensive than the second most expensive, however the performance difference is not that much.
Its perfectly fair to calculate value based on price/performance ratio. Thats how the value of cpus and graphics cards are calculated in most reviews. Its common knowledge that the high end cpus are not good value.
For example, I doubt there are many people in the world who would call the most expensive core i7 excellent value, because it isn't. It has excellent performance, but its terrible value in terms of the price you pay for that performance.
If you are going to give value a score, it must be based on facts, or the score is meaningless, and the best way to go about this is to base it on price/performance ratio, or bang for buck if you're stateside.
Who said value is purely based on performance?
For a media oriented machine I would certainly 'value' the larger screen, the higher screen resolution and the overall better performance of the Sony screen. I would also 'value' the Blu-Ray drive, the better keyboard, Bluetooth, a physical wireless switch etc....
Ultimately though, the 'value' score is subjective (as are the other scores). I don't think you should get hung up on the headline scores.
If performance is important to you there's enouth information in both reviews to at least let you know which laptop you might want to consider and the features you might value.

It seems that the only problem with this laptop is the noise that this, and some other reviews, have mentioned. How does thte noise-level compare to other equivalent laptops?
Thanks for your comment and feedback!
It would appear some of the models being sold through 3rd party retailers, such as the model sold by play, have faster hard drives.
As to your questions, text is perfectly legible though you need good eyesight. You can always zoom in a little or increase the default fonts size, so there's no real downside.
As to noise, as mentioned it can be off-putting, but then I prefer my PCs virtually silent - it might not bother you and is certainly not dramatic. However, a larger chassis like that of the http://www.trustedreviews.c... is quieter despite hotter components, and I'd say the Sony is slightly noisier than some of the more immediate competition.
Stewart has made all my points for me twice over - thanks Stewart :)
Thanks for your feedback Ardjuna. Can I be a pain and ask another question?
On the Sony site you can down-spec to a i5-450M - would having a less powerfull processor reduce the noise? I would also consider an SSD.
A colleague at work just bought one of these but discovered that it can't power his 27" Dell screen at its native resolution of 2560x1440, as it only has a VGA port and does not operate at the higher frequencies enabled by HDMI 1.3. This is despite the NVidia GPU being capable of supporting this resolution and appears to be a limitation that's common across all current VAIOs.

Grey Gardens [Criterion Collection] [Blu-ray] Product Description
Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play.
Grey Gardens is an American entry into the cinéma verité documentary style film. This one however, is a fascinating look into the lives of the rich and useless. The subjects are related to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis which makes them even more fascinating. Really. The directors of this film are considered pioneers of the documentary film. This one revolves around Mother, daughter and their decaying mansion. The daughter cannot let go of the past, they snipe at each other, reliving the past, and the heartfelt, raw emotions involved in a daughter giving up her hopes and dreams of an acting career to take care of her ailing and aging mother. Poor thing, she only has money and a mansion to soothe the wounds of her unfulfilled dreams. This documentary is worth seeing because it is exceptionally well done. After all, don't we all want to watch the whining, wealthy, elite on screen so we can take a peek into their everyday lives?

"Of all the Vampire novels I have read, Sucks to Be Me was my absolute favorite. It was smart, original, with a lovely, honest heroine, and it was laugh-out-loud funny. I almost fell out of bed laughing at one point. I couldn't wait to get a hold of the sequel, Still Sucks to Be Me. When it came out, I devoured every page. For those who love the genre, yet are tired of tragic, Byronic lugubrious vampires, this is truly a unique and hilarious read."—Margot Adler, NPR correspondent and author of Drawing Down the Moon.
"Pure wish fulfillment"—Kirkus
"The adolescent vampire novel gets a pleasantly light, bizarrely heartwarming treatment in this novel . . . It's an unusual mix, a welcome change from all the darker, angsty teen vampire novels around these days, and a very promising first novel."—Locus
"The lively pace, amusing tone, and accessibly non-gory vampire plot make this an ideal summer beach read, particularly for horror fans who may appreciate a lighter look at the path toward immortal bloodsucker." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

I understand that your phone finally has a stable 4G LTE connection that doesn't destroy its battery in four hours, but it's time to look beyond and into 5G. Verizon 5G is almost here, sort of. The company announced today that it will begin field testing its 5G technology with key partners come 2016.
Companies like Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia, Qualcomm and Samsung are already on board and working to "ensure an aggressive pave of innovation." These companies (along with others over time, I'd assume) will take to Verizon's Innovation Centers to collaborate and share ideas in order to help get 5G ready for you and I. If they can make enough progress, Verizon will begin field testing 5G in 2016. 2016 is next year, by the way. (more…)

They also have the versatile Rocky Mountain quilt 3.5" loft with a head hole like the No Sniveller
