A student measures the volume of a liquid and finds it to be 40mL. How many significant figures are in the measurement?
1 ***
Calculate the area, with the appropriate number of significant figures, of a rectangular room that is 14.10 m wide by 15.0 m long.
212 m^2***
211.5 m^2
29.1 m
29.10 m
Am I right or wrong?
I think you are right.
Many may argue with the first one and suggest 40 has two s.f. To have two, however, it should be written as 40. where the . is not the end of the sentence. To avoid confusion many would write that as 4E1 to show the one s.f. and not two.
Ok but in all I'm right?
That's what I said, you are right.
So the answer is A or is it B
it is 212 m^2 i just took the quiz

9" High-Rise Skinny Jeans in ISKO Stay Black™
9" High-Rise Skinny Jeans in ISKO Stay Black™ is rated out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MelissaAnn from Magic. Pockets. (Mic Drop) I cannot say enough about Magic Pockets! As a devoted shapewear user I couldn't imagine leaving the house without it until I came across these little miracles. Holds you in in all the right places and retains its shape. I bought the 9" in the stay black and white, and the white Calis. The stay black does have an odor as another reviewer pointed out, but honestly it just smells like vinegar and any denim aficionado knows to soak your dark denim in white vinegar to set the dye...the stay black has probably just done this process for me. True to size, but I promise you will look a size or two smaller in them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Annika from Perfect fit Finally a black jean that seems built to last in material and color. The magic pockets really are magic on my thin but apple shaped bod. I took my usual madewell size 27 in these and the length is perfect for my 5'4" height.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sally18 from True black jean! I needed a pair of black pants for work, and I work somewhere casual so I thought these would be a good fit. I haven't washed them yet, but they really are a true black jean and they have the magical reinforced pockets that I love! My only complaint is that they're a bit long. I'm 5'2", 106" and bought a size 24 - my normal Madewell size. They're a bit snug but a size up would make them baggier in the knees/ankles, so I have a feeling they'll break in perfectly. I just wish Madewell would make cropped/petite sizes! The biggest bummer was the smell of the jeans. They don't smell the best. I'm sure that'll change with the first wash, but it was just a little unpleasant when I opened the package/wore them for the first time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jennaann from SO GOOD Just got these the other day. It's true - they stay black!! I washed them inside out w/clear detergent & laid flat to dry, no issues. Great work Madewell! I will say, I did notice they attract lint a little more than other jeans/clothes I wear, but it's totally worth it, and I carry a mini lint roller with me everywhere anyway.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Birdenfrau from GREAT fit, GREAT color--hoping this pair of Madewell black jeans doesn't rip, too I'm giving this pair of jeans 4 stairs based on initial wear of less than a month (l4-5 wears). The fit is PERFECt, even while sitting down. It's truly black and I have to lint roll them frequently. I have not washed this pair yet. I just bought a second pair because the fit feels great and I like how black they are. Keep in mind that I wrote this review after wearing them a few times within a month. I've purchased black Madewell jeans in the past and those jeans have ripped only after a few times in the past. If you check out the reviews for many of the black jeans, there are plenty of initial great reviews for them, but after a few months of a style being out, you'll notice that many customers start to give bad reviews for their black jeans and complain about black jeans ripping after few wears. I'm hoping that this pair of Isko black jeans don't unexpectedly rip after minimal wear, too. It's a shame that I feel hesitant about the structural integrity about these jeans.

Rated 5 out of 5 by stacistaci from perfect black pants LOVE these. The black really stays black. Hope they stay this great after many washes!

Rated 4 out of 5 by LP515 from A bit stiff I ordered these to replace my other black Madewell skinnies that became tie dyed after 2 washes! These definitely seem like they will stay black and I am happy to read reviews saying that they do. The cons so far, though, are that they don't seem to fit like my other Madewell jeans! They are rather stiff which make them feel like they are smaller than they actually are. Not sure if anyone has this problem. I haven't washed mine yet, and am afraid to in case I need to return them!

Rated 4 out of 5 by karenxly from Thick pair of black denim I previously owned the Lunar jeans and they were my absolute favorite pair of jeans - so comfortable! However, after a year's wear, they sadly ripped on me. I had sadly retire them but after reading the reviews for these, I decided to give them a try! Pros: +the denim is a lot thicker quality than the Lunar ones. (Hopefully this means that they won't rip either) +hug you in all the right places +they have those pockets that apparently make you look slimmer but I don't really see the difference compared to the other reviews +it's super black! I haven't washed them yet so I can't say that they'll stay this black My only con is: -compared to the Lunar ones, lint loves to stick on these jeans!!! I have so much lint on them by the end of the day

It's not a typo. The title of this post is both on purpose and blatantly in our faces as purveyors of media in The Church.
The Church is not MTV. The Church is not ESPN. The Church is not Sony Records. The Church is not the latest and greatest and coolest piece of technology to come around.
If The Church isn't any of these things, then why are we trying to be them?
Our Challenge
Q: Why do we need 50″ flat screens for those in the back?
A: We need it because we must entertain and keep the attention of the masses.
Q: Why do we require HD-everything just to give a talk?
A: We need all of that stuff to be relevant to a generation that is inundated constantly.
Our greatest challenge today is not the currentness of our set lists; it's not the smoothness of our transitions; it's not our faux-hawks, designer jeans, faded t-shirts and vintage sneakers.
Our challenge is the same as it was 2,000 years ago: to go and make disciples (not fans) and baptize (not entertain).
If our goal is to entertain, we've become nothing more than our enemy's pawn.
If relevance is topping our priority list then we need to throw the list out.
We have made the gross error of entertaining rather than engaging. This is true because as soon as we stop entertaining, we leave. The minute the music stops and the light show is over or the instant we've been there and done that we move on. Sometimes physically, but more often the travel occurs solely in our minds. We check out.
The same is true of our attempt to be relevant. This is pure hocus-pocus. How can we continue to justify making a holy God relevant to anything. He is God. He is holy. He cannot and will not be relevant.
Let's take a deeper look.
Entertainment vs. Engagment
Entertainment seeks itself. It is by definition self-glorification. Entertainment in The Church is nothing more than spiritual masturbation.
Engagement is quite the opposite. Engagement washed the disciples feet. Engagement gave sight to the blind, sound to the deaf, voices to the mute, strength to the weak, freedom to the possessed, healing to the sick. Engagement is a fight.
Relevant vs. Real
Relevance demands to be appropriate. Appropriate for who? Relevance is smoke and mirrors.
Realness is Truth. Real has no imitation. Real is without filler, void of pulled-punches, and to the point.
Where do we go from here?
Our first step must be one of reckless abandon to Jesus. We must admit that the only way that hearts are changed is by Him. We must remove ourselves from our self-enthroned place and put Him in it.
Abandon our media department? Yes, especially if the only talk after a service is of the entertainment and relevant values in it, and not of the life changing and genuine encounter with God that just happened.
There is a place for media in The Church, but if that media becomes ultimate we are only serving ourselves.
Let's stop being something we're not and start being that which we are called to.
What do you think? Is your media in it's place?

BELLEVILLE – Daniel Jiang used to be a victim of bullying, but he used musical talent to prove himself to his aggressors and is now a professional violinist.
Jiang, 21, was born in China, and his family came to Canada in 2007, settling in Scarborough. "I was 11 years old. I didn't know any English. In fact, I didn't know anyone," Jiang said.
Jiang was enrolled in an English-as-a-second-language program at Pleasant View Junior High in Scarborough. Both his parents were music professors in China. ButJiang didn't pick up an instrument until he started being bullied by other kids at school.
He continued violin lessons and was looking to improve his skills even further. While he had stopped being directly harassed, he said, he wanted to prove he had more to offer. To him that meant going to a musically advanced school.
The Claude Watson arts program at Earl Haig school is an enriched program for students with interests and talents in dance, drama and music. Students must audition to get into the course.
Jiang continued to advance, picking up steam in the music community. Soon he was playing around Ontario and, as he puts it, played his heart out.
"I performed for Kiwanis and Ontario music festivals, playing in a string quartet. I had played in Toronto, Peterborough, Kingston and Montreal," he said.
It was important for him to continue doing something he loved, and that meant to continuously expand his musical ambition, he said. Currently Jiang is working toward his master's degree in musical performance at McGill University in Montreal.
BELLEVILLE – Shorelines casino delivered its first cheque to the city of Belleville on Monday.
The cheque for $575,749 was given to Mayor Taso Christopher during Monday night's council meeting. Christopher said the money will be going toward city infrastructure and social programs. The casino on Bell Boulevard opened in January this year.
The municipal contribution agreement between Shorelines Casino, Belleville and the province is a legal commitment. Every three months the city will receive a payment from the casino. The first payment is 5.25 per cent of $65 million in slot revenue. The next time it will be three per cent of an expected $135 million in revenue. This is the same arrangement for every Ontario community hosting a casino or slot facility.
City council perviously voted to direct the revenue from Shorelines toward several funds. It will be 10 per cent to development infrastructure funds, five per cent to land acquisition, five per cent vehicle/equipment replacement, 65 per cent maintenance/rehabilitation of infrastructure, five per cent social infrastructure, five per cent economic development, and the final five per cent to disaster mitigation/contingency funding.
Monday night also had the Belleville Downtown Improvement Association gave a cheque for $200,000 toward new streetlights.]]>
BELLEVILLE – TVO is shutting down its over-the-air transmitters in most Ontario cites – except in Toronto.
As of July 31, transmitters in Belleville, Ottawa, Chatham, Cloyne, Kitchener, London, Thunder Bay and Windsor will cease operations. An article in the Ottawa Citizen quoted TVO as saying that around 136,000 people will be affected by the towers shutting off.
Anyone who receives TVO through cable, satellite dish or the Internet will not be affected.
Belleville resident Arvin Kumard told QNet News that when he was growing up, informative television was important to his family, which had immigrated from Pakistan when he was 10. He had to learn English from school and TV.
"Our first experiences with the English language were all on television, and my father had gotten us TVO on a whim. I loved the shows, and would repeat what my favourite characters would say on those shows, such as The Adventures of Dudley the Dragon."
But the removal of the over-the-air service won't affect him, he said.
"I don't think it is a big deal because all their shows are going to be online still."
This is TVO getting with the era of online media, he said: "To me it's just going with the times. You have so many things like Netflix and streaming– you can binge shows all you want as much as you want."
Netflix has over 90 million subscribers as of this month, according to an article in Business Insider .
Belleville construction worker Scott Luffet had never heard of TVO before reading about the transmitte shutting down on Belleville's Reddit page.
"To me Canada's TV stations are Global and the CBC. Most of the shows we watch are from the States anyway," Luffet said.
His son watches TVO shows like George Shrinks and Arthur, he said.
"When I heard about TVO stopping service, I thought I should check out their stuff online. And you know what? I really enjoyed it. They have such interesting material on their site, like documentaries."
TVO will be saving $1 million annually by shutting down the eight towers. The jobs of seven transmitter maintenance workers will be eliminated.
The network, which has been on air since 1970, is Canada's oldest educational broadcaster.
By keeping a Toronto tower, TVO will be able to keep its Canadian Radio-telecommunications Commission license and minimize distribution costs, it says.]]>
BELLEVILLE – Hundreds of local students have been suspended from school in the last two days for not having their immunization records updated.
Bill Sherlock, program manager at Hastings-Prince Edward Public Health, told QNet News Thursday that between 500 and 600 students in Hastings and Prince Edward counties did not have updated records. Those students were suspended from school as of Thursday until the information is updated.
It was reported early Friday morning by InQuinte that the records for 313 students still hadn't been updated.
But the number of students suspended is much smaller than the number of notices sent out earlier this year by the public health board notifying students that their immunization records needed to be updated. A total of 4,400 notices were sent out.
Sherlock told QNet that the situation isn't anything new.
"Part of the problem is that you're busy. This gets pushed backed. People think they have months because the suspension date is in April," he said.
"This happens every year. Hastings-Prince Edward Public Health, as well other health units around the province, send out notices every year. They issue notices to students when they're overdue for their immunization," Sherlock explained.
This does not mean students were not vaccinated, however. Students need to get immunization against several viruses, including tetanus, polio and measles, and sometimes updating the records take time.
"It's not necessarily students need shots. Sometimes they get it done by their family doctor and the paperwork gets lost in translation, or we don't get it right away. It's the parents' responsibility to update public health," said Sherlock.
"It gets better and better every time we send out a notice and we offer clinics to sort this out," Sherlock said. The health unit is holding immunization clinics in Belleville, Trenton, Madoc and Bancroft Friday to quickly resolve students needing record-updating assistance.
"If you keep the immunization rates high there are fewer breakout infections," said Sherlock.]]>

BELLEVILLE – Historical artifacts, furniture, dancing cats?
Local museum Glanmore House's dance video entry, Glanmore Loves Cats, beat out three other museums' videos to claim the Eastern Canada division title of the Museum Dance Off 4 competition. The competition is organized by whenyouworkatamusem.com to break the stereotype that museums are boring and stuffy. A record 41 museums from around the world have put videos in the competition.
After winning the regional competition thanks to votes form the public, Glanmore House will continue to the finals, where other dance videos showcasing museums will be competing for bragging rights and a trophy.
The Glanmore video shows off the various rooms and cat paintings throughout the house, from a cat's point of view.
Melissa Wakeling, the education and marketing co-ordinator for Glanmore House, said the idea for the video came from her co-worker's wife. They chose the theme because "cats and the Internet – they kind of go well together, don't you think?"
Another deciding factor was the collection of Victorian animal paintings displayed in the museum. They were all painted by Englishman Horatio Henry Couldery (1832-1918) and were donated to the museum in the '50s as part of the Couldrey Collection.
Couldrey was considered to be one of the leading animal artists in the Victorian time period.
Wakeling said the video has gone viral, which has helped attract more people to Glamore's Facebook page and Youtube channel.
"It's really garnering a lot of attention, which is good – it gets people talking about the museum, gets them thinking about us maybe in a different way."
She said the video is about bringing awareness to how fun museums can be and breaking the stigma around them.
"The idea of the video is to break those stereotypes people have about museums, maybe challenge you to think of us in a different way, but also to highlight what we have here," Wakeling said. "So the idea of the cats fit that really well, because we could show off our paintings of cats."
Here's the video:

BELLEVILLE – Nine-year-old Kayden Verner has a routine and he sticks to it. He wakes up, catches the bus and in 20 minutes he's at school – Queen Elizabeth in Picton. It's quaint. It's unassuming. It's a place he feels comfortable.
That matters because Kayden is autistic. He responds well to what the low capacity school offers: small sized classes and attentive teachers. He was "thriving" there.
Until the possibility of closing Queen Elizabeth became known last fall.
"What they're proposing for the students….is not something that my son can do," Vicky Verner told QNet News.
In November of last year, Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board's board of trustees – its oversight body – okay'd accommodation reviews – formal procedures to consider closing or amalgamating aging or underused schools – for three regions under HPEDSB — Belleville, Prince Edward County and Centre Hastings.
With the launch of the accommodation review, which will take about seven months to finalize, the board also put forth preliminary, preferred recommendations or closure and consolidation "options" for schools struggling with low enrolment, limited capacity or ballooning renovation costs. The board's proposed changes to Prince Edward County's school system would see a number of closures and consolidations, including the shuttering of Pinecrest Memorial Elementary School, Sophiasburgh Central School and – Queen Elizabeth Public School, which is 266 students under capacity and in need of a $4.7 million face-lift, according to the board's 2015-2016 findings.
Sophiasburgh and Queen Elizabeth students, including Kayden, would be forced to attend Prince Edward Collegiate Institute in September.
For her son, Vickers says the potential move is not an option.
"He requires schooling on a smaller scale, smaller classrooms, smaller facilities. His autism couples with social anxiety," Vickers said, alluding to the 600 plus students at Prince Edward Collegiate Institute – an enrolment number far higher than Queen Elizabeth's.
Verner says the switch to PECI would spell commuting woes for her family, too. With Verner working during the day, Kayden would have to sit on a bus for hours a day to travel between the school and their home – something his mother says he can't do. According to Verner the only other option is to home school Kayden – a course of action she again says isn't the most viable.
"We're left with homeschooling, which is directly against his diagnosis because he requires social communication with others. So we're left kind of high and dry as to what's best for what we can do for him," Verner said, adding " … where does my income come from because that would mean that I no longer get to go to work. If that's the only option I'm forced to have to quit my job which would make it almost impossible to do. I'm very concerned."
So is Kayden.
"He already cries at least every couple days because someone will bring up that the school's going to close and he'll have to go to the high school," Verner said.
The Verner's aren't alone in their concerns about possible school closures. In rural Belleville, the fight to keep an area school open continues.
HPEDSB's initial review for its schools located in the Belleville area has seen several small or aging schools land on the chopping block.
With 97 students enrolled at a school with a capacity of 168 and a projected "renewal need" of $1.4 million, Hillcrest Public is one of them.
Andy McDonald, a Belleville resident and former student at Hillcrest, is a member of the school's Accommodation Review Committee – a group comprising a Hillcrest principal and teacher, three parents, two community members and one intermediate or secondary student.
Accommodation Review Committees were established by the board to act as a "conduit of information shared between the school board and the school communities," according to HPEDSB's website.
With two sons attending two Belleville-area schools in the review process' cross hairs – one at Hillcrest and one at Queen Victoria – McDonald says the news of Hillcrest's proposed closure felt like a "sense of loss."
"It was a good atmosphere. I spent a lot of time in the neighbourhood and it is a close-kit community. It's a unique geographical location that I think it warrants a public school," McDonald told QNet News.
In his role with the committee, McDonald says he's tasked with looking over board proposals while volleying back any alternative suggestions or concerns. One of McDonald's tabled suggestions is to erect a new building on Hillcrest's old site with adjusted boundaries that would attract more students.
Sara Lucas-Oliver, another former Hillcrest student, also lamented the possible closure of her childhood school – but for reasons that go beyond the shuttering of its doors.
"I just think it's a shame. A good portion of my learning is wrapped up in being outdoors and exploring and being able to run and jump and play so that I could burn off some energy to come in and pay attention," Lucas-Oliver said, adding the school's spacious grounds and ample playing areas facilitated her desire to play and learn.
Without the kind of space provided by Hillcrest, Lucas-Oliver fears kids will miss out on an important part of physical education.
Lucas-Oliver's memories of tobogganing and playing marbles at recess – all under the watchful eye of teachers – are closely tied to a sense of community.
"You knew everybody because the parents were involved in PTA, they used to volunteer at the school, at the library…now that these kids are going to be bused and shipped all over, they're kind of losing a sense of community."
"And it's nice to have a small school you get to know the kids better, you get to know the teachers better, the teachers have a better chance of seeing the kids for who they really are," Lucas-Oliver said, adding that her hopes of sending her own children to the same, small school are now dashed.
From the school board's perspective, Hastings Prince Edward District School Board's communication's officer Kerry Donnell told QNet News that concerns about community erosion have been heard loud and clear.
"That's something we hear a lot and that's a discussion that's happening in the province. Schools in many, many cases, particularly in the smaller communities in rural Ontario, schools are the hub of the community."
Donnell added, " It's a really sensitive situation and through this public input process we are hearing community members speak up in the regard, and trustees are hearing their messages."
Donnell also expressed some of the positives that could be associated with the accommodation review process.
"Let's say there are two schools in close enough proximity where they're maybe 60 per cent full. There's 40 per cent of space that's empty at each school. Bringing schools, bringing students together allows for better programming to happen."
On the concerns of special needs needs students like Kayden, Donnell said, "transitional plans are being developed in support of safe and inclusive transitions for all students, whether it's a student with special needs or a student not with special needs, each student is treated with respect and care and we're looking at each one when and if a transition needs to be made."
While Vicky Verner says she's received compassion from school board representatives, it's not enough until the kids mean more than the bottom-line.
"There's an added side to the money, we have to think about the children."
A number of public meetings have been held on school closures in each affected region.
Belleville's third public meeting will take place on Wednesday, April 19, with Prince Edward County's next public review meeting slated for Thursday, April 20.
The board of trustees will make a final decision on June 19.]]>

All four members of the group take turns singing lead and harmony parts on a selection of songs from 19th century novelty numbers to timeless mountain ballads. The Ozark Highballers reach deep into regional traditions to offer an entertaining program that includes dance tunes, songs, and humor.The group is a vital part of the Northwest Arkansas square dance community as well as being popular at traditional old-time music festivals throughout the United States such as the Brooklyn Folk Festival, St. Louis Folk and Roots, and the Stephen Foster Old-time Weekend. Their music reflects the spirit and drive of the rural string bands of the 1920s and 30s, particularly those of the Arkansas Ozarks.

Dance Callers
|Larry Edelman (Denver, CO) – Larry Edelman has been playing, calling, and teaching for traditional dances for more than 35 years. He plays fiddle, guitar and mandolin in several bands, including the Soda Rock Ramblers, the Percolators, and right here in Colorado, the Prairie Chickens. A renowned dance caller and teacher Larry has traveled widely throughout the United States and in Europe, delighting both novice and veteran dancers with his humor, enthusiasm, skillful teaching, knowledge of dance history, and colorful calling. Larry is an avid dance researcher and during the 1980's while collecting traditional square dances in southwestern Pennsylvania, he was awarded a Fellowship in Folk Arts from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts to study with elder caller Jerry Goodwin, and produced the movie Dance to the Music and Listen to the Calls that documented the apprenticeship. Larry also produced Yee Haw, a quirky and informative movie of how square dancing has been portrayed in historical, non-theatrical motion pictures. Larry has trained scores of square dance callers who have attended his acclaimed intensive square dance calling workshops.
Phil Jamison (Asheville, NC) – Phil Jamison is nationally-known as a dance caller, old-time musician, and flatfoot dancer. He has called dances, performed, and taught at music festivals and dance events throughout the U.S. and overseas since the early 1970s, including more than thirty years as a member of the Green Grass Cloggers. His flatfoot dancing was featured in the film, Songcatcher, for which he also served as Traditional Dance consultant.

LA and doping
Dec 11, 2001 7:07 PM
Do you think Lance is using unethical performance enhancing drugs.

What do you think, Doug, Peleton?
Daniel H.
Dec 11, 2001 9:03 PM
I do not believe that LA uses any illegal performance enhancing drugs.
However I do think that he will use any and all legal performance enhancing means that are available. I believe that in the 2000 tour that the usps team dumped their trash away from the race start/or finish?
There was a substance in that trash that was totaly legal at the time but was outlawed within a year. I think that it was called actovagen, or something like that.
I think that he is on the front of performance enhancement, and would make sense that he will use any legal means at his disposal, as most of us would. I believe that if it is legal then it is ethical.
Legal = Ethical
Dec 12, 2001 10:07 AM
Don't ever say that in a university ethics course. They will come after you with pitchforks!
I have been suspicious, but afte reading his book, I do not think he would use anything that might threaten his health.

Jesse Smith

Lance has said, time and time again, that the performance differences between himself and his competitors comes down to hard work, attention to detail (pre-riding Tour courses)and focus (training specifically for the Tour).
He said this work ethic, not drugs, is the difference. Based on this, if substances are really making the difference, their use is against his spoken ethics, regardless of whether they are legal or illegal.
I recently noticed that nobody brings up the "What's he on?" question to the forefront in early season races where he finishes relatively low in the standings. If his performances are directly related to drugs, apparently he's saving their use for the most heavily tested and highly scrutinized event in all of cycling or any sport.

Legal <> Ethical
Dec 21, 2001 12:46 PM
Everyting legal is ethical ?! Surely you are mistaken!
Every person has his own standard of what is ethical, which should be a higher standard than what is legal. Even if sports organizations made all drugs legal, any athlete with integrity would refuse to use them.
Of course not all "performance enhancing" substances are drugs. Healthy food is a performance enhancing substance. The rules do not define what is right or wrong; they merely draw a more or less arbitrary line that everybody agrees to follow. Whether it's right or wrong is a totally different question, up to every individual and his conscience.
re: LA and doping
Dec 12, 2001 6:39 AM
I think you're blurring the line between legal and unethical. Legal is spelled out very clearly. Unethical is a personal judgement. I do believe LA is using SOMETHING, but it's legal. Whether that's unethical is your call. Personally, I'd do the same.
re: LA and doping
Dec 12, 2001 10:13 AM
I have read many of your posts and I respect your opinion. However, I do not think I blurred the line between legal and ethical. I think it is inherently blurred. I used a legal unethical substance once during an unsanctioned training race just to see how it worked. For various reasons including my health I never used it again. For the record, it made a difference; but not a very significant one.
Dec 12, 2001 7:05 AM
With LA's previous cancer, it would seem that he would know better than to put something into his body that might have a detrimental effect. It's so hard to say who is on what though. Legal and illegal drugs are a pretty fine line. I can tell you that there is stuff out there right now that may not be illegal yet, but that's only because the testers don't know about it or don't have testing methods to fight them. There is a lot going on with peptites and hormones right now in doping. Broad bans do effect a lot of these drugs though. Even actovegin, while not banned specifically at the time, could be deemed illegal under a broad anti blood boosting rule. Does actovegin boost blood or performance though? Hasn't really been proven to my knowledge.
On the other side though, Lance does have the cutting edge of sport science on his side. He readily admits to using an alititude tent to boost his hemocrit. This is just putting your body in a situation that causes it to adapt, but it does have the same effect as EPO (Although it would never raise your hemocrit so high that your blood would thicken enough to stop your heart- so no potentially deadly side effects). Is that ethical? Is it doping? You could argue either way I guess.
Personally, I would like to think that Lance isn't using drugs and hormones to boost his performance. I am sure he is using every technique to make his body adapt by it's own power though. People are always going to accuse him though, as long as he wins.
I agree
Dec 12, 2001 10:24 AM
I don't hink Lance is going to use anything that may threaten his health --especially after reading his book. I can guarantee that every team out there uses some form of supplements. I talked to one team trainer at a big race who told me the secret is to use things (i.e. altitude tent, amino acids) that cause your body to create more of the performance enhancing substances; and not use the things that simply supplement those enhancing substances (Steroids, EPO). His reason for this was that supplements cause your body to stop producing those substances. It is a well known fact that your body lowers it's own testosterone production when you are on a cycle of steroids for example.
Ethics are individual...
Dec 12, 2001 9:01 AM
I'm sure that Mr. Armstrong is using some kind of performance enhancing drugs, even if it's just a One-A-Day vitamin. I'm also quite sure that he's able to live with his decision- which makes it ethical from his perspective.
There will be French journalists who believe the One-A-Day regimin is unethical, and there are also Vegans who believe that eating meat is unethical- but Mr. Armstrong does that too.
Ethics are individual...
Dec 12, 2001 9:04 AM
Good point, which is why we have to rely on rules rather than ethics. Which
gives rise to the "rule of law"...and lawyers.
Ethics are individual...
Dec 12, 2001 10:50 AM
So you guys are relativists. "Everything is relative, so let someone else worry about my actions and create laws to guide my behavior." Who was it that said "If you don't get caught, it's not cheating."
I agree that a lot of ethics are personal, but I think there are some archetypal absolutes; and I think most of us know (or at least suspect) when we cross the line. I know modern philosophy would say I'm being ethnocentrc. But I think the pendulum of popular opinion has swung way too far in the relativists direction.

Dec 13, 2001 8:32 AM
The quote you offer, "If you don't get caught, it's not cheating" was said by Richard Virenque in his trial over the doping scandal of the 1998 TdF. It is a most unfortunate statement, but it reveals the mindset of some of the athletes. It ires me in particular because I really like Virenque in spite of this.
the quote
Dec 13, 2001 8:53 AM
Me too! He was always one of my favorite racers. Kind of an underdog who knew his limits and worked them to his advantage. He is also well known for donating prize money to charity. I was thrilled to see him win Paris Nice. Hopefully, he has learned something.

doping in general
Duane Gran
Dec 12, 2001 11:12 AM
I may be naive, but I don't think Armstrong is doping. I'm sure some people in the peloton are using illegal/unethical substances, I just don't know who. I read some exerpts from Willy Voet's book, "breaking the chain" and one thing he said really stuck with me. To paraphrase, he said that some athletes really didn't benefit physically from drugs or need them to perform well, it was more psychological for them.
I suspect there are some very good drugs out there, and I for one would like them to be researched. Some of them may turn out to be safe. This is progress in my opinion, just like improvements in nutrition and training science. What I don't like is the current system where nearly everything is banned and we find out what works and doesn't work in the shadows of the system. That is unreliable and promotes unnecessary risk taking.
For the most part I'm pleased with how the UCI is handling doping. No other governing body of sport exhibits such consistency. For good or bad, just consider the case of Jonathan Vaughters and that bee sting this year at TdF. A little bit of cortizone would have done the trick, but they officials declined. Can you imagine someone in the NFL being denied *anything* to treat an ailment?
[Note: I'm actually not happy about the Vaughters incident and I think it illustrates where the UCI goes overboard.]
doping in other sports and performance
Dec 12, 2001 6:20 PM
Doping is a strange subject when it comes to ethics. Some people rationalize taking performance enhancing substances, and sometimes people confuse that with ethics. Just because someone has rationalized something, they don't always believe what they are doing is ethical. And sometimes they have also rationalized it so much that they do believe it to be the ethical solution. How about a hypobaric chamber? Ethical? Creatine? Choline? How about EPO? Why is it okay to take creatine, which has an ergogenic effect but not steroids? Legality? Stigma? Aren't they both to improve performance? What's the difference? And do you believe your answer to be ethical, or just a rationalization? Now you are performing in this sport for a job. You have people to support. Now what is ethical? Everyone else is doing it. Don't you deserve to level the playing field? Hard to say, isn't it?
I do have to commend the UCI for at least trying to clean their image up. They won't ever catch everyone who is on something, and it's unrealistic to think so. I surely hope and think the peloton is cleaner today than 5 years ago. Look at other sports though if you want to see real doping. Turn on ESPN. MLB's players association has a contract with the league that there will be absolutely no testing for ergogenic aids. Think of basketball. How about the NFL (National felony league)? Never hear about doping there. If you think it is because it isn't a problem then you are naive or misinformed. It's a big problem.
Read Willy Voet's book, Breaking the Chain. It's an interesting look at what happens in the sport. Get the French version and you will be shocked at some of the names you read. The English version edited names for fear of lawsuits.
I hope and think Lance is clean today because of his illness. I hope a lot of the gruppo is clean too. I don't ever think that doping will go away though. Look at even here in the racing forum. We talked about a way to make the type IIb muscle fiber gene active in humans.... It will always be there as long as there is big money in sport.
doping in other sports and performance
Daniel H.
Dec 13, 2001 7:44 AM
What do you think should be considered as "doping" and why,
It is getting into symantics, but isn't anything that acts as a performance enhancer a drug and then should it not be banned. If so then how far can we logically go? When does it become futile.
For example "no you can't have that banana, they boost performance" How can we decide what is a level playing field?
Relativism and the Slippery Slope
Dec 13, 2001 9:15 AM
Peloton's and Daniel's posts are the perfect illustration why the regulation of sport (and other
areas of life) has to be rule based. Even Aristotle noted that precision in the area of ethics
is unworkable. No Kantian principle from which to generalize is going to work, regardless of the
yearnings and sense of righteousness of the moral absolutists. As a society we engage in an
ongoing concensual process, and unfortunately, that's going to have to be good enough, warts and
all. For the athlete, the real ethical question has to be how one can knowingly violate the rules
and still consider oneself to be a moral, ethical person. As we saw in the Festina affair--and
even still today--the rationalization usually is that everyone else is doing it. In other words, no
attempt at ethical justification whatsoever. IMHO the UCI is doing a reasonable, sincere job
in trying to clean up the sport, in stark contrast to many other sports both at the "amateur" and
professional levels.
Relativism and the Slippery Slope
Dec 13, 2001 9:54 AM
Yea, moral absolutism is absurd, but I do not think that makes everything relative. I believe there are absolutes. There are many more things that are relative, but there are absolutes. You could argue that a persons genetics are cheating on an esoteric level, but we all know Human Growth Hormone supplements are cheating. If everyone in the race is cheating, are any of them cheating? Hell yea! They may be equal, but they are still cheating. We can parse words and fool ourselves with fancy rhetoric, but 9 times out of ten we know when we cross the line. Are you going to take those Guarrana pills while lined up at the start or are we going to take them back at the car? Why?
doping in other sports and performance
Dec 13, 2001 9:44 AM
Wow! You have put a lot of thought into this subject.
First of all you are 100% correct concerning popular American pro ball sports. I went to college with several athletes who turned pro and drugs are more common there then socks. Systematic doping takes on a whole different look with those guys.
The line between what is ethical is certainly a blurry one, especialy with substances like creatine and hypobaric chambers. However, Creatine was not banned because of any performance enhancing characteristics. It was banned because questions were raised about its safety. However you are still correct. The line is blurry.
As for rationalizing. If you have to rationalize, then you know what you are doing is wrong. You are just convincing yourself that the means justify the ends. Yea you are supporting your family with the job of being a pro, but it is not the only job you can do, and chances are if you get caught you are not going to have that job anymore anyway.
As for my blurred opinion: 1. Is it legal (Don't want to get in trouble regardless of ethics;
2. Is this good for me (Amino Acids) or could it potentialy harm me (Steroids); 3. Is this a substance that everyone else who I'm racing against has availability to.
For me the above is ethical.
As for Lance, I do not think he is on something that violates my first two guidelines. As for the third, I don't know, but I hope not. If so, it puts an asterik next to all of his Tour victorys. Yea, Anquetil was on something, but so was everyone else at the time. They were unethical, but they were equal.
Also, I have seen pros that I know for a fact were as clean as a new born baby's butt beat pros that I knew were as dirty as that baby's first diaper.
Their butt's aren't clean
Dec 14, 2001 9:12 AM
Dude, you're absolutely wrong about a newborn baby butt. My wife just delivered our first, and that guy's butt was covered with all sorts of disgusting stuff. And between the table and the scale (8'13oz), he blew out all this black tarry crap.
Just thought you should know.

a matter of definition
Duane Gran
Dec 13, 2001 10:32 AM
You bring up some good points about how we define an illegal substance. Fundamentally there are two ways of approaching the problem:
1) Make a list of banned substances and eforce it
2) Make a list of allowed substances and enforce it
The first approach is favored by every governing sport body I know of because the second approach stifles innovation, however we know that option #2 would be easier to enforce. It would probably be more fair, but we want innovation.
There is a point of diminishing returns in the innovation curve and I wonder when we will reach it. Elite athletes make their career out of the sport and devote themselves fully to it. What more can they do personally? When you have guys like Armstrong weighing their food on a gram scale, for example, what further depths of commitment will yield a performance gain? I'll probably be proven wrong by history, but I tend to think we are close to apexing.
Drugs are the easy way to garner a little more performance. The drugs are always a step or two ahead of the detection mechanism, so I doubt very much the ability of the UCI to claim a clean peloton. I think we getting close to the point where option #2 is viable without hampering innovation too much. The alternative is to continue testing for yesterday's drugs. In this way we are left to wonder and debate the definition of a drug.
Mind you, I have a few reservations about this conclusion, but I think it is workable.
Interesting (nm)
Dec 13, 2001 11:21 AM
Just to clarify
Dec 14, 2001 10:21 AM
the NFL does test for certain ban steroid substances. Jim Miller of the Bears was suspended last year for steroids in his system, and another player was suspended this year. Is that system as well enforced as the UCI probably not, but they do have a system. Baseball and basketball on the other hand are pretty hilarious.
Just to clarify
Dec 15, 2001 11:47 PM
Football players are not tested until they get caught. In other words, once they OD in a seedy hotel room with $5.00 hooker and get arrested, they have to forego a durg testing regimen. Of course I am overexagerating, but if you think all players are tested regularly for drugs, you are mistaken.
Dec 24, 2001 1:29 PM
Why am I thinking Michael Irvin? ;) I didn't say they tested regularly, I just said they do have a system. I don't know it's exact use, but I think it goes beyond post conviction testing. I think they may have some random testing, I think that's how Jim Miller of the Bears got nabbed for roids last year.

I believe its genetics
greg n
Dec 14, 2001 12:02 PM
Read his book. At an early age he was kicking everyone's butt. It's genetics. It's been proven in lab tests. His body is far superior at managing lactic acid than even most pros. Therefore he can push harder, longer.
He also has exceptional dedication to his training plan and has some of the best coaches in cycling today.
Does it matter if he uses legal substances? How bad are the things that are legal anyway? Not very.
I believe he has nothing to hide. He's just one of a few great cyclists we'll probably see in our lifetimes. (Pretty strong statement.) Espescially given his bout with cancer.
Daniel H.
Dec 16, 2001 5:46 PM
Dec 21, 2001 1:00 PM
It's so easy for us to say it's genetics. Just like saying Heifitz was a "natural born" violin player. When you aren't around to see him practicing 8 hours a day every day for years and giving up things in life that we all take for granted, it's hard to explain how else he got that good.
I think the same applies to sports. Some people are more gifted than others but these differences are not great enough to separate the winners from the also-rans. Our bodies are capable of more than we think they can do. This year when I saw Brett Wolfe finish La Ruta ahead of some pro riders it made me realize even more that hard work, preparation, and psychological fortitude play a larger role than genetic accidents of fate.
Suggesting that it's all genetics unfairly deprecates the accomplishments that LA has made.
P.S. if you don't know how Brett Wolfe is look up his name in Google and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Genetics are HUGELY important
Dec 21, 2001 4:51 PM
There is no doubt that top level athletes make huge sacrafices and work hard to get where they are. Genetics without hard work are like an empty cup never filled. Thing is though, that top level athletes are also freaks of nature. They are the top of the curve, capable of things that the majority of people could never do no matter how hard they work. Lance is a freak. His capacity to do aerobic work is off the charts. And that does not undermine anything Lance has done. He was given a talent and made the most of it.
Hard work will get you a long way, but getting to the top takes some very special innate talents.

My husband and I had a great stay. The room was extremely clean, stylish and comfortable. The en suite bathroom was very large and really well lit. Chris was an an attentive but relaxed host. A genuine pleasure to get to know him. A great example of why I love airbnb.Heather2016-02-08T00:00:00Z
This was my first experience using Air B&B so obviously I was a little bit anxious. Deciding on a room within a house rather then a hotel wanting use of a kitchen as I get bored eating out every night... However I needn't have worried. Chris was lovely, just the right amount of being friendly but giving you privacy. The house and room were very clean and tidy. Being able to use the kitchen was a massive bonus for breakfast and evening meals. I was working in St Ives and so the location was great and being only a 10 minute walk into Huntington it was easy to get to the restaurants in town. The bus terminal is in easy reach, I got the bus to Cambridge one evening, takes an hour each way but great value and no stress... There is a Tesco express very close to the house which was so handy for supplies. I will definitely being staying here again...Phillip2016-04-23T00:00:00Z

Fabulous! I can't rave enough about my stay with Ellie. She is a fantastic host, attends to every detail, keeps her home spic and span and makes you like family. The room is very large with super luxe linens/duvet and a great desk for working. The bath offers a wonderful shower and vanity plus roll top bath! Even if you only microwave like I do, you will enjoy the big cooks kitchen as well. Can't recommend highly enough.Cherryl2016-10-06T00:00:00Z

Great location for exploring the area. Good description on the webpage and great info from Paul regarding transport links and local pubs n' pie shops :-) Paul was very helpful and then left us to get on with our weekend, a very good host.Hamish2015-12-07T00:00:00Z
Super cosy house with all facilities you can dream of. Very high standard and a wonderful little backyard. Bicycles available.kirsten2015-04-24T00:00:00Z
Paul and Sasha made us feel most welcome. Gothic Cottage was very comfortable and convenient to the town. Bus stop outside front door made geting to Cambridge effortless. Would thoroughly recommend Gothic CottageAnne2015-09-11T00:00:00Z
Gothic cottage was absolutely perfect for what we needed. It is a lovely little cottage which was really nicely decorated and extremely comfortable. Paul was a very good host and very helpful. I would definitely recommend Gothic cottage to friends and family who need to stay in the Huntingdon area.David2014-02-14T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed our stay at the Gothic Cottage with our 2 kids for a week. The kids were able to stay in one room & my husband & I stayed across the hall. We had no problems with the flat at all. Both Waitross & Sainsbury was in close walking distance & it was very convenient that the bus to go to Cambridge was right outside our door. The only things is that you have to walk from the bus station to get back to house after the visit to Cambridge. The house is on ring road so the bus only went one way. The house is on a busy street so shutting the curtains was important if you wanted privacy. The kitchen had everything we needed & the bathroom worked well though it was in the back of the house. We would definitely want to stay there again if we were in the area. Thank you Paul for your hospitality.Julie2015-08-12T00:00:00Z
Nice welcome bottle of wine, good advice about travel and the area. Left alone, perfect!Ara2017-01-03T00:00:00Z
Spent a week here whilst in between houses, and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Fantastic cottage, with a great location near the town centre. Cleaned perfectly and very well equipped. Can't fault it at all! Paul was very helpful too, which was really appreciated.Louise2015-12-04T00:00:00Z

This was a great place to stay! The hosts made sure I always had whatever I needed, even though my needs were not the typical visitor's needs. They were quick with directions to different locations and very accomodating in every way. Also very friendly and interested in the world around them. The location is great even if you are visiting Cambridge as it is very easy to come from here to Cambridge. The area around Godmanchester has also many interesting things to see and do.Chris2016-08-23T00:00:00Z
Shirley was a lovely host. Staying at her house was better than in a five-star hotel. Everything was trully perfect. Definitely recommend.Lukas2016-07-04T00:00:00Z
Shirley, you are a hostess with the mostest. My friend and I stayed for the weekend and we felt so comfortable and felt at home in Shirley's place. Not only was the room is absolutely beautiful, which was nice and airy but we had a stunning view of Shirley's garden. I cannot expressed how wonderful our stay was, we've truly enjoyed our stay and it is much better than any 5* hotels. You can't get a better service or location than Shirley and her house. I would highly recommended staying here!! I would definitely stay again and hopefully have my own greenhouse so I can pick up on more tips from Shirley. Thank you so much for everything :)Emma2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
We had a fantastic time staying with Shirley. She is a wonderful host and her house is lovely and everything is very clean. Shirley is very friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome. We stayed for a weekend to explore Cambridge and surroundings and Shirley's place was in a great commutable location. In summary, everything was great and we would always come back and definitely recommend it.Christine2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
Shirley is a wonderful hostess! She's very knowledgeable about the area and always had creative answers to our questions.Beverly2016-10-14T00:00:00Z

The house was very well kept and designed - large rooms and very comfortable and clean. The area is lovely and we will definitely stay here again. The only thing I would recommend is that you check with Christine where to park beforehand - the neighbours do not appreciate you parking in the wrong place ;-) Thank you Christine for a fantastic weekend.Bernie2016-08-29T00:00:00Z
It has been great staying at Christine's place. It is very spacious, comfortable and the location is excellent. The host Radhuka has been also great on the phone.Jie2016-10-17T00:00:00Z

Great place! Loads of room, super convenient to High Street. Was perfect for what we needed! The heat wasn't working while we were there, but Christine was quick to respond and provided a space heater when we let her know. Would definitely recommend!Chris2016-11-26T00:00:00Z
The Grand Victorian house was amazing with its 4 m high ceiling, 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it made us feel like in a castle. As we were the first visitors we felt highly honored to use the unused equipment in the newly refurbished Victorian house. The house was very clean and equipped with all basics. However, it would need some additional equipment for a family holiday with young children. The house is situated in the town centre, only a few steps away from the shops, restaurants, cafes and yet located within a quiet private residential complex. Christine welcomed us warmly on our arrival and provided us with refreshments. She also responded promptly with all the necessary information for a pleasant stay. The children enjoyed the special holiday playgroup and the children's playground in the Coneygear Park situated nearby. We also explored the surrounding towns and villages. Huntingdon is a convenient location for day trips to Cambridge, St. Ives and Ely. We had a wonderful stay in this amazing house and would definitely consider coming back.Sara2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

Anna was a very welcoming and friendly host, and was very flexible with check-in and -out times, which was useful for our changeable schedule! The annex was lovely, and just what we needed for our short visit to the area. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable - I would definitely recommend it, and happily stay there again.Verity2015-11-09T00:00:00Z
Anna very kindly put up a cot and provided bedding for our toddler, as well as some toys, which was appreciated. The annex was nicely decorated, clean, tidy and comfortable for our one-night stay, a handy stopover on our long car journey. We were given a nice friendly welcome. Thank you!Megan2016-06-27T00:00:00Z
A quick stop over for a wedding at a local venue. Anna was so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Total independence with the annex and we didn't feel we were disturbing anyone when we came back after the wedding. The bed was super comfy and the furnishing was brilliantly done. Great shower too.Gemma2016-09-04T00:00:00Z
A nicely done up, private annex, set back from the road, so relatively quiet. Slept well! Note that car has to be parked a short walk away once unloaded (this is mentioned in the description). Would not hesitate to stay again if we were in the vicinity. The Black Bull gastro-pub 2 mins away by foot was a great find too.Tom2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

Ria is very welcoming, hospitable and responsive - I only stayed for two nights, booking the morning of the first so she had little time to prepare. The room's great and the shower fantastic. But it is a house with three teenagers and multiple animals so guests need to be aware of that in advance. And while there's no transport in the village the railway line runs extremely close to the house so there is noise from that source.Paul2016-03-28T00:00:00Z

When I was on the way to Jane's house, I phoned Jane for directions, she cheerfully answered my questions and she gave lots of clues so my father can find the house so easily. She welcomed us as a friend, it made us feel like we're back in our own home! She introduced her friends to us and she gave me lots of suggestions on studying English and she let me play her grand piano, which is fantastic! The food is unforgettable, so DELICIOUS! She told us lots about her family culture and how they've done great things. And also her experience in different countries, it's so interesting!!!! She loves to talk about the stories in her story books, my dad discussed with Jane about the book . On the whole, we love the stay with Jane and we are all friends! We think next time when my mom and dad come to Britain, we'll undoubtedly stay there!刚2016-02-22T00:00:00Z
Very pleasant and spacious older property in a quiet area, but short walk to the village centre. Jane is a very friendly and helpful host and provided a tasty English-style breakfast in a traditional kitchen. Comfortable bed and bathroom was just across the landing from our room. We were visiting family so it was great for us. Clearly you'd need a car if exploring the area and parking is no problem.Martyn2016-12-11T00:00:00Z
Jane greeted us as agreed, she showed us where everything was and we really felt at home. Jane was understanding that we would out until late (we were at a wedding) and was so very hospitable. Jane recommended a super pub for lunch which was fabulous and breakfast on the Sunday morning was out of this world. Jane's home looked exactly like the pictures, my friends and I had a wonderful stay.Rachel2015-07-27T00:00:00Z
Jane is warm hearted open mind, my kids enjoy chatting with her and learn local history. She showed us around for the neibourhood and antient tower even quite late and tired for her Friday.vicky2015-08-02T00:00:00Z
We had a really lovely time at Jane's. Nothing was too much. Our room was lovely and big. She gave us hot water bottles for the evening so we were really snug. A lovely breakfast greeted us in the morning. I highly recommend staying here.Abby2016-12-04T00:00:00Z
Jane was very welcoming, despite our late booking and evening arrival whilst she was hosting a large dinner party. The house was charming and very comfortable, and Jane served us a lovely breakfast overlooking her beautiful garden.Heather2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
We ended up a bit late (10pm instead of 5pm) due to car breakdown but Jane was very understanding about this. Great communications by text just keeping each other up to date. Jane was waiting at the front door as we drove up the street so that was a nice welcome. She had a cup of tea ready for us after showing us our rooms. We're chatterboxes so was nice to see Jane liked a chat too. The house was lovely and full of character. She warned us it could be a bit chilly and to bring woolies - we did but as we're from the frozen North, there was no real need. Was really nice though to get into bed and fine Jane had put a hot water bottle there :-) I don't know if it's standard - but Jane made us a cooked breakfast on the Sunday morning which was another nice bonus! All in all I'd highly recommend Chez Jane both as a lovely place to stay and a fabulous host.Stevie2016-11-13T00:00:00Z
It's been an absolute pleasure to stay at Jane's beautiful house. She is a very friendly host and we were surprised by a home cooked breakfast on our first morning. She made our weekend in Buckden very enjoyable.Sebastian2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

Very relaxing place to stay & plenty of deep sleep to refresh the soul. A great way for planning the day ahead in nearby Cambridge & surrounding area. If only I had more time to venture.

Difficult review to write because experience marred somewhat by a miscommunication between the host and myself which kind of resulted in me feeling I was in the way a little bit and I got the feeling was a bit of an issue with the host due to other people checking in etc. That said, Hannah was gracious, personable and kept in good contact. The house is great, amazing fresh bed linen and a clean homely feel. Dog is lovely and I couldn't resist sneaking a cuddle whenever I could. I would wholeheartedly recommend this property and Hannah to any potential AirBnB customer. Parking wasn't really an issue but the road is small and narrow so if you've a huge MPV or something you might need to find a parking spot a few mins walk away. Overall it's a great place - if you're down for work and have weird times to check in and out I'd recommend sending a message separately and not with the booking request so that everyone's on the same page.Becks2016-11-29T00:00:00Z
The house is in a quiet street close to the town. It's bed only (no breakfast) which suited me as my travel plans meant that I had to be gone by 0600. The room is spacious, the bed comfy, and it's peaceful. You share a bathroom but it was very clean and tidy. The host is lovely and makes a great cup of coffee when you arrive! It's a very welcoming property. I'd definitely use againAdam2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

We booked the cottage for a hen party of 10. The cottage itself was just beautiful, homely, clean and spacious. Lorraine greeted us with a warm welcome on arrival and made us feel at home instantly. The kitchen/ dinner was great to host dinner and have party games before we headed back out to Cambridge in the evening. Lorraine even providered us with breakfast and teas and coffee. We also had the pleasure of meeting Finley! Such a friendly and chilled dog that we wanted to take home! Overall the house and Lorraine made our stay in Cambridge and I would highly recommend to large groups, couples or even families! Thank You!Kate2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Staying at Lorraine's place was great. I went for a business trip with 2 other colleagues and stayed for 1 night. The house was a little bit difficult to find, but she received us with warm drinks and very kindly showed us all the house facilities and our rooms. We cooked and ate dinner in the huge kitchen, and had a nice conversation with Lorraine. She explained us and helped us with her internet where to find the nearest supermarket and our next destination. The shower was great, and also the bathroom (separated).Pablo2015-02-27T00:00:00Z

Lorraine and her husband were extremely accommodating to us - allowing us to leave our cars before check in and even brewing a fresh pot of coffee for our group. The area was lovely and the house beautiful. We sat out in the lovely garden in the evening and had full use of the kitchen with all of its facilities. A great stay for our hen group!Suzy2016-08-30T00:00:00Z
Lorraine and John were lovely hosts. Communication prior to our arrival was perfect. They were very welcoming into their beautiful country house. As was they friendly dog Findley who was really a star attraction for our 8-year-old son. He is not in any way threat to children and is very placid and well behaved. We had lovely breakfast in the morning. Really great place to stay overnight and close to Cambridge. THANK YOU.Malgorzata2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

Had a fantastic stay, was the perfect place to crash after a long day's fishing! We were very impressed with the lodge. Many Thanks Zoe, we will be back!! :)Paul2016-10-06T00:00:00Z
Zoe was very quick to respond to all my queries! Her property is immaculate and in a beautiful location. I would highly recommend booking with Zoe.Brandon2016-03-07T00:00:00Z
Zoe was very friendly & prompt at getting back to us. The wooden cabin was very cute, cosy & well equipped. The cabins are sufficiently well spaced, and even though it was a bank-holiday weekend, it was always very peaceful and quiet. The children (ours are aged 8, 7, and 1) all thought it was great & we were happy for the older two to go off & explore …….Louise2014-08-26T00:00:00Z
Zoe's cottage is a brilliant spot for a quiet, peaceful retreat in the countryside. A cozy place with wooded views. We had our young children and they enjoyed walks to Grafham water and playing in the grass lawn within the cottages area. Very clear communication and easy check in with the on-site key box - just what we expected. We'd love to go back again!Ross2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
We absolutely loved our weekend at the cabin. It's a beautiful and peaceful place. The cabin is very cute, very comfortable and has everything one might need. We felt very much at home there. Thanks Zoe for everything and for letting us checking out late on Sunday. We'll definitely be back!Tasha2015-05-19T00:00:00Z

Great host. Zoe kept in contact before and whilst staying in the lodge. The lodge was very clean and very well stocked. The beds were extremely comfortable too. Would highly recommend!Judith2016-08-19T00:00:00Z
Zoe provided lots of information before we arrived on everything from parking the car to what to do in the local area. Thanks to these instructions we found the cabin and gained access to it with no problems at all. The cabin was fully furnished and had lots of nice little touches like a drawer full of games and puzzles and some hand labelled condiments. It was a really welcoming little place with lots of atmosphere. The upstairs bedrooms are a little cosy so not ideal for claustrophobic or tall people but there is a downstairs bedroom with plenty of room. Overall, the cabin was a great place to stay and would recommend to anyone wanting to explore Grafham and the local area. There is a great Indian restaurant called Cinnamon about a 15 minute walk away, but not much else so you'd better be prepared to drive as it is quite isolated.Philip2014-08-21T00:00:00Z
