Keep mud and puddles out of your eyes and off your bum by fitting a set of mudguards. Take your pick, from permanent mudguards that you can fit and forget to clip-on bike mudguards that you only use when you really need them.
Nobody likes getting wet on a bike and nobody likes being sprayed in the face by the bike in front's rear wheel on the club run. Full-wheel, spray-free mudguards cover more than half the wheel and give you and fellow riders the best protection for touring and road riding. We've got lightweight cycle mudguards designed for racers and clip-on versions that bend or pop out rather than break if you come a cropper.
When you're out in the wilds on your mountain bike however you'll need something that's higher off the wheel to avoid clogging. Mountain bike mudguards come in all shapes and sizes, from extra wide mudguards that will keep you cleaner, but may catch on things, to clip-on Crud Catchers that'll deflect the worst of the spray.

Does anyone know the exact number of Data Centers worldwide?

Define data centers? Are you talking about data centers that offer hosting? All internal and external datacenters? Do you have minimum requirements to be considered a data center?
Jun 17, 2010 at 11:19 UTC
I dont know if anyone really knows the exact number world wide. There are alot of hidden ones. For instance there is one that is in my home town that I am sure isnt well known.
I seen this one time and thought it was interesting though. gives you a rough idea. http://www.datacentermap.com/
Jun 17, 2010 at 12:11 UTC
I'm going to have to agree with Drew, I don't think anyone knows the total number and a lot of companies like it that way. Google for instance is really secretive about the number of data centers, the exact computing power within them and where there precise locations are. They have a little bit of info floating around about them but they believe that it gives them a competitive advantage and wouldn't want there competitors knowing real specifics.
Jun 17, 2010 at 1:43 UTC
Yeah your right about Google being secretive about the exact number worldwide. I was thinking about data centers that offer co location. Drew does have a good point though. A lot of data centers will go unknown because of their location.
Jun 17, 2010 at 1:49 UTC
Yeah there really is a thin line on this. Google and Microsoft for instance have ones that are openly known (Like the ones they have in Iowa) and ones that are more illusive.
That is why it is impossible to know.

Summary: Prequel to 'Loner'. Edward found his Bella and they got their happily ever after. But what happened before they met? How did the Cullens cope over the years with a new, broken family member? This story takes us back to the beginning.
A/N: As promised, here is the prequel story to 'Loner'. This one will not be very long, though, just 5-6 chapters. Each chapter will be from a different POV, except for the first one that is Carlisle, which I had to split in two. Basically, you will get inside the heads of the Cullens over the years, find out what they were thinking and feeling. The story starts when Carlisle first meets Edward at the hospital in Chicago, and everything that happens takes place before Edward meets Bella. Some dialogue is taken from 'Loner'.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot of this story and Loner. The characters all belong to Stephenie Meyer.
Carlisle: Part One
"Who did this?" I demanded, my voice sharp as I looked around the room. No response. They were all just staring at me with something close to fear in their eyes, and I figured I couldn't really blame them, seeing how this had to be the first time they heard me raise my voice. I was normally much more composed, but not today. "Did you hear me? I want to know who is responsible."
I had always found working as a doctor to be rewarding, because it made me feel like I was making a difference by helping people. But there was also a downside - one that couldn't be ignored. The world could be a cruel place. I had seen a lot over the years, and there were things I wished I had the power to remove from my memory.
Still, by the end of the day, I had learned to leave it all behind me and go home. That was until today. I didn't know it yet, but sleep wouldn't come to me easily that night. The ball had already started rolling, and I had no idea what was coming, what I was up against.
The boy was brought in a few hours ago, and for some reason, I couldn't get the image of his small, battered body out of my mind. It was always worse when it was young children, no question about it, but somehow, this one stayed with me. Maybe it was because he was close in age to my own two children, and it would kill me to see something happen to either of them.
I had a bad feeling about this. My suspicions had yet to be confirmed, but I was neither ignorant, nor stupid. I could tell the difference between an accident and an act of abuse. This child had been hurt on purpose. The question was, was it the first time? And more importantly - who was responsible?
My shift was over, but something made me stay. I knew Esme was waiting to hear from me, but I told myself she would understand. I just couldn't bring myself to leave, at least not before I had gotten some further information. It wasn't that I didn't trust the people I worked with, because they all had to know what they were doing, but I wanted - no, needed - to hear the full story.
"Um, Dr. Cullen?" A soft voice spoke up, snapping me out of my thoughts. It was Kate, one of the youngest nurses in the staff, and unlike the others, she actually met my eyes and held my gaze as I turned to look at her. She looked as if she was on the verge of tears, but I didn't know whether it was because of the situation, or simply the fact that I was obviously losing my temper.
"Yes, Kate?" I gave her a look I hoped would be encouraging - it wasn't my intention to intimidate her.
She took a deep breath, and I tried not to let my impatience show as I waited for her to continue, "We're pretty sure it was the stepfather."
The gut-wrenching cries and wails tugged at my heartstrings and I all but pushed my way into the room, shoving my colleagues and coworkers out of the way, only to stop dead in my tracks as I took in the scene playing out in front of me. The boy was curled up in the corner of the room, arms protectively over his face, and he was shaking so bad I feared he would shatter right there.
I could see three nurses - two male and one female - hovering nervously around him as none of them seemed to know just what to do, and I struggled to remain calm as I strode across the room, never taking my eyes off the frightened and clearly disoriented boy who looked ready to claw his way right through the wall in order to escape.
"You need to give him some space," I insisted firmly, pleased when they all obediently backed away without protests, and I didn't miss the looks of relief on their faces as they realized I was taking control of the situation. For a brief moment, I found myself thinking I must be surrounded by a bunch of amateurs. Had none of these people dealt with a traumatized child before?
"Clear the room, please," I went on, stopping at a safe distance from the boy who had suddenly become almost eerily quiet, and just like the first time I saw him, earlier today, fury welled up inside me as I took in the extent of his injuries - the ones visible to me, anyway. How anyone could hurt an innocent child like that was beyond me.
Something just occurred to me, and I called out in a low voice for the female nurse to stay. Her name was Irina, and she kept giving me suggestive smiles and batting her eyelashes at me whenever she passed me in the hallways, even though I never did anything to encourage her, and to be honest, she made me a bit uncomfortable, but right now, I needed her.
I wasn't stupid - if this boy had been hurt by a man, there was no reason for him to trust me, especially if it was just the two of us in the room.
Clearing my throat, I addressed him for the first time, all the while making sure to keep my distance to avoid agitating him any further as I spoke up softly, "Edward? I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen, and this woman next to me is named Irina. I assure you, no one is going to hurt you. Now, do you know where you are?"
No response. I waited almost a minute before trying again, "Do you hear me, son? Everything's going to be all right." Still nothing. It was like he had just shut down, retreated into himself as a last desperate attempt to protect himself. I had seen it before, and frankly, it wasn't completely unexpected during the circumstances.
I approached him very carefully, crouching down on the floor. "Edward? Do you hear me?" When he remained unresponsive, I reached out to gently place my hand on his arm, hoping the contact would snap him out of the passive state he was in, but that turned out to be a big mistake from my side.
His entire body became rigid and he flinched back as if I had just struck him, the back of his head slamming into the wall behind him, and he let out a fearful whimper. I instantly raised my hands in surrender, only to realize that with both eyes practically swollen shut, he wouldn't be able to see what I was doing. "It's all right. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I'm backing away, just relax."
But it was useless - my soothing words having absolutely no effect as he once again covered his face with his arms and started rocking back and forth, mumbling something rapidly, and it took a moment before I was able to make out the words he was forcing out in a broken voice, repeating over and over again, "I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad..."
I heard a noise behind me and turned to look over my shoulder. Irina quickly swept her thumb under her eye to brush away a stray tear, and took a deep breath. "Should we sedate him?" she asked huskily.
Having hoped it wouldn't come to that, that I would be able to calm him down by myself, I finally nodded with a sigh of defeat. "Yes."
"Carlisle, your shift ended over an hour ago. You should go home and get some sleep."
I pinched the bridge of my nose as I looked into the concerned eyes of my colleague and friend, Dr. Marcus Aro. We had been working together for a couple of years back in Forks, before he took his family and moved to Chicago, and he was the one who had encouraged me to transfer here for a limited period of time, obviously sensing my need to get away for a while after everything that had happened.
Thankfully, Esme had been supportive of my decision, although I sometimes got the feeling she had wanted some space from me as well. I wasn't ready to give up on my marriage, though, my wife and children meant everything to me. Hopefully, some time apart would be good for both of us. At least we were able to act civil around each other when I was home.
There were times when I felt like a coward for running away like this, but I didn't know what else to do. Every time I looked at my wife, the guilt would consume me. Knowing that Esme had tried taking her own life because she couldn't stand the pain of losing our child, and that I hadn't been able to see the signs and be there for her in time, had broken me a little more every day.
But she was getting help now. She was doing much better. And I had to believe our love for each other was strong enough to survive this. We would be okay.
Now I snapped out of my thoughts and smiled at Marcus. "Are you insinuating that I'm here too much? Is this your polite way of letting me know you've gotten tired of my presence?"
"No, this is my way of telling an old friend that he needs to leave this place and get some rest before he burns himself out." Marcus shook his head in mild disapproval, although he did return my smile. "How is Esme, by the way? The kids?"
"They're all good, thank you. I'll be seeing them in a couple of days." I paused. "Speaking of family, have you had any success in reaching Edward's mother?" I couldn't understand why the woman had yet to show up. Both Marcus and I had tried in vain to get a hold of her all day, leaving several messages, but she hadn't returned any of our calls.
Didn't she care about her son at all? The thought was most disturbing.
"No," he admitted. "But the police was here earlier. Apparently, they arrested the husband. Now they want us to find proof that this wasn't the first time. So, I checked the boy's medical files, but there's nothing in there indicating he's ever been hurt before. However..." his eyes darkened, "There are enough scars on his body, not to mention old injuries that haven't healed properly, to suggest otherwise."
I nodded grimly, having come to the same conclusion myself.
"But I'm afraid there's more." Marcus hesitated a little before picking up a sheet of paper from his desk and handed it to me. "This report just came to me from the lab. We got the test results back." He shook his head, sadly. "At least this will hopefully be all the proof they need to put that damn child abuser away for good."
My heart sank as I looked down at the paper in my hand, its contents confirming that this was even worse than I had first imagined.
Marcus seemed to read my mind, and nodded in agreement. "That's right. Obviously, just beating the kid wasn't enough."
"It's over now, son," I said quietly, knowing he was awake and would be able to hear me. "He's gone. He won't be able to hurt you again." Two days had passed, and I was once again working a double shift. It had been a long night, and I had spent my short breaks between tending to other patients checking on Edward. While he had been mostly out of it, I knew his sleep had been far from peaceful.
I figured I must have walked into his hospital room at least half a dozen times during the night, and at first, he had tensed up and flinched every time I entered. I realized he was having nightmares, no doubt about what happened to him, because that's the way the human mind works. So I had started talking, keeping my voice calm and steady, assuring him over and over again that he was in fact safe.
About the third or fourth time I stepped into the room, making sure to announce my presence by speaking up quietly from the doorway before going inside, he had remained quiet.
I had been most hesitant to touch him again after the way he reacted the first time, but at one point, I had seen no other option. He had been slipping in and out of consciousness, clearly unable to relax, when the door opened and one of the male nurses had entered the room. The approach of the unidentified visitor was all it took to set Edward into a fit of panic, and without thinking, I put my hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay," I had assured him. "No one will harm you here." To my relief - and utter surprise - he actually settled down after a few minutes.
Now he stirred on the bed, turning his head slightly in my direction. "Good morning, Edward," I said, not really expecting a response. He had barely said two words to anyone so far, not even during his more lucid moments, which bothered me, but I was set on being patient. "How are you feeling today? Are you in pain?"
He shook his head once, and while I wasn't sure whether or not he was being sincere, I decided to let it go for now. "Your vision will hopefully clear in a day or so. I realize it must be frightening not being able to see anything." I paused, hating myself for what I had to ask next. "Edward, do you remember what happened? How you got hurt?"
I watched how he tensed up at my question, and I took a deep breath before I went on, "It's all right. I know it was not an accident. Tell me who did this to you, and I promise to do everything in my power to make sure it'll never happen again." Technically, I already knew, but for some reason, I needed to hear it from him.
As the seconds ticked by, turning into minutes, I told myself he wouldn't answer, and the last thing I wanted to do was pushing him. But then, finally, after what seemed like hours, Edward opened his mouth, ran his tongue over his cracked lips, and whispered one word. A name. "James."
"So, Mrs... Hunter? I see you don't have the same surname as your son." I looked up from the file in my hand to watch the woman in front of me, somewhat suspiciously. Edward's mother had finally showed up, after almost three days. There was some resemblance between the two of them, so I didn't doubt her identity, but something about her appearance made me feel uneasy. Maybe it was her eyes.
Or maybe just the fact that she had allowed days to pass before bothering to come see her son. I was pretty sure it was the latter, or a combination of the two.
"I got married. Edward still has my maiden name." She offered no further explanation than that, fidgeting somewhat awkwardly in her seat.
"I see." I hesitated a little. "Well, we have been trying to get a hold of you for the last couple of days. Surely you must have received our messages?"
She let out a huff. "My husband got arrested, Dr. Cullen. I'm sure you can understand that my mind has been a bit occupied. I'm here now, aren't I?"
Figuring it was a rhetorical question, I bit back my response and nodded. "I'll be honest with you, Mrs. Hunter. Your son was taken in three days ago, and I'm very concerned about the condition he was in when he arrived here at the hospital. When you wouldn't return our phone calls, we had no choice but to contact the Social Services." I held my breath, but her reaction was nothing like I had expected.
Her eyes narrowed, but she didn't protest or lash out at me. Instead she just nodded in acceptance. "Are they taking him away?"
I frowned. "Mrs. Hunter-"
"Elizabeth," I corrected myself with a nod, trying not to sigh. "Your husband hurt your son badly the other day. And we have reason to believe it wasn't the first time. What do you have to say about that?"
"I've already talked to the police." She glared at me. "I don't know anything. I can't be held responsible for whatever my husband might have done."
It took just about all the willpower I possessed not to jump up from my chair and get in her face. "Edward has old scars all over his back. I find it very hard to believe that you have never seen them. Your son is deeply traumatized, Mrs. Hunter, and I don't believe you are as oblivious as you're letting on."
For a moment, she was quiet. Then she looked down at her hands. "I've never laid a hand on my son. That's the truth."
I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming up. "You do realize that just standing by and allow-"
She cut me off, "Is there any paper for me to sign?"
"I beg your pardon?" I blinked in confusion. It just hit me that not once had she asked me how her son was doing.
"From the Social Services," she clarified, the lack of emotion in her voice making me shiver. "They are taking him, right? Surely they must see I'm not fit to..." her voice trailed off and she looked out the window. "Just tell me what to do, Dr. Cullen, and I'll be out of your way."
"Darling, just hear me out before you say no," I pleaded, taking both of my wife's hands in mine.
Esme sighed. "Carlisle, I'm not saying no, but..." She hesitated for a moment. "Have you really thought this through? I mean, what do we know about being foster parents? It's a huge responsibility, and to be honest, I'm not sure I have what it takes. I mean, I'm still on antidepressants, and we are just beginning to come to terms with everything."
"Esme..." I started, but she wasn't finished.
"If this poor boy really is as troubled and damaged as you say he is, then what makes you think we would be able to help him? Surely he needs professional help, and-"
I interrupted her. "Then we'll make sure he gets all the help he needs. I have connections, Esme. There are a lot of excellent child psychologists and therapists out there. But what Edward needs most of all is a home where he can feel safe."
She watched me for a long moment. "This is really important to you, isn't it?"
"Yes," I told her sincerely, relieved when she just nodded in acceptance. She didn't ask why I felt so strongly about this, and for that I was grateful. The truth was, I wouldn't have been able to give her any explanation, because I wasn't sure myself.
When she remained silent, I went on, "He's an eleven-year-old boy who has been through hell, Esme. And his mother literally abandoned him, not that I would ever let him go back there, even if she hadn't. My point is, he is all alone, and not many people would be prepared to take him in. What if he ends up someplace even worse?" The thought was sickening, but I knew it was possible.
"I hear what you're saying." Esme squeezed my hands, allowing me to take her in my arms. "No child should ever have to go through something like that. But I'm scared, Carlisle. What if we agree to become foster parents and then it turns out we can't handle it? What if it's too much? And would Edward even want to come live with us? He has his life, everything he knows, in Chicago."
I could understand her reasoning. But yet I wouldn't back down. I knew in my heart that this was the right thing to do. "Just come back to Chicago with me and meet him. Please?"
She closed her eyes briefly, then gave me a sad smile. "Of course I will."
Edward's physical injuries were slowly starting to heal, but I was more concerned about what this whole ordeal had done to him emotionally and mentally. He seemed to have built pretty thick walls around himself, and I wasn't sure how to break through them. Still, I could tell he was more comfortable around me than... well, to be perfectly honest, everyone else.
Unless he was heavily sedated, he would become absolutely terrified every time someone else entered his hospital room. That was, unless I was already in there. Then he would just tense up in alarm, shrink back into the bed, and glance at me with fear in his eyes, as if silently begging me to protect him. While I was grateful he seemed to trust me on some level, it still broke my heart to see him so distressed.
He still wouldn't let me come too close, though. Sitting down at the bottom of his bed was okay, but he would instinctively shy away if I tried to touch him. Sometimes I didn't have a choice, like when I had to check on his injuries, and it always ended the same way, with him shaking and sobbing in defeat, and me feeling like the most vile creature on the planet for adding to his obvious fear of physical contact.
I always tried to talk to him about it afterwards, when he had calmed down, explaining to him countless of times that just because I would touch him didn't mean it would be painful, or that I meant him any harm. He seemed to listen to what I was telling him - for the moment. The next time, it was just the same thing, all over again.
Another thing that bothered me was his instant acceptance of the fact that his mother wasn't coming back. He only asked about her once, and then he didn't bring up the subject again. When I asked him later if Elizabeth had ever treated him badly, he just stated in a small voice, "My mom doesn't want me."
I choked up at his words, but since I didn't have the heart to lie to him and tell him he was wrong, I had to excuse myself and leave the room. As soon as my shift ended, I called home and asked to speak to my children, telling Alice and Emmett several times each how much I loved them. They both sounded a little perplexed by my emotional declarations, and I couldn't say I blamed them.
After going through Elizabeth Hunter's medical files, I learned that she was once treated for Post-partum depression, which I had to admit explained some things about her behavior. What I couldn't figure out, though, was why on earth she had stopped taking her medication. Then I realized she had stopped about the same time she had gotten married.
I had avoided talking to Edward about the future up until now, but I knew it was time to bring it up. He had to be wondering what was going to happen to him, even though he was obviously not confident enough to ask.
So I cleared my throat. "Edward, there's something I want to discuss with you." Seeing the alarm on his face, I quickly held up a hand, calmly explaining that everything was okay, that I just wanted to talk to him about what was going to happen once he was well enough to leave the hospital. I had meant to make him feel more at ease, but I realized with a sinking feeling that my words had the opposite effect.
His wary expression turned into one of pure terror, tears welling up in his eyes, and my heart ached when I realized how hard he was struggling to fight back the choked sobs that escaped him. Taking a deep breath to pull myself together, I sat down on the bed, trying to ignore the way he automatically flinched when the bed shifted.
"It's all right, son, you won't have to go back there. Just calm down and let me explain." It took a moment, but then he actually seemed to relax, if only slightly. I went on, "I told you the other day I have a wife named Esme. She's here today, and she would like to meet you. I think you will like her - she's a very kind woman." I paused. "Esme and I both hope you would like to come live with us in Forks."
"Dad, when is Edward going to be here?" my son asked, taking a huge bite of his sandwich.
Casting a brief look at my watch, I quickly downed the rest of my coffee - I needed to hurry, or I would be late. I turned back to Emmett. "He will be here next Thursday, son. The next time I get back from Chicago, I'm bringing him with me."
Alice carefully put her half-empty glass of juice down on the table in front of her, her eyes shining with excitement. "And then you're not going back there again, right? You'll be staying here with us?"
"That's right." I exchanged a look with my wife, who smiled at me softly. We had decided that with Edward moving in with us, it would be better if I was close by, so I was transferring back to the hospital here in Forks. In all honesty, I could hardly wait. I had really missed my family these past months, especially at night, when I was all alone in the small apartment I was renting in Chicago.
There really was no place like home.
"Cool!" Emmett exclaimed around the food in his mouth, grinning apologetically when Esme gave him a look of disapproval for speaking with his mouth full. He swallowed quickly. "I can't wait to show Edward my video games."
Even though Edward was closer in age to Alice - she would be eleven in a couple of months - Emmett was very excited about getting a 'brother'. Hopefully they would all be getting along well. I was a bit concerned, though, regarding Edward's social issues. The more time I spent with him, the more clear it became to me how uncomfortable and uneasy he was around other people.
"Just give him time, and go easy on him." I looked from Emmett to Alice, a serious note in my voice as I continued, "Your mother and I have explained to you the importance of making Edward feel at home here with us, but he's bound to feel a bit overwhelmed. This is all a strange, new situation for him, and he has been through a lot. I ask that you have that in mind."
"We know. You already told us." Emmett looked slightly offended that I didn't seem to have complete faith in him.
"Don't worry, Daddy." Alice smiled and shifted eagerly in her seat, causing her dark pigtails to bounce. "We'll be good. Edward's going to love us."
I smiled at my little girl - who really wasn't so little anymore - and nodded in agreement. "I'm sure he will, honey. Just remember what I said." She nodded.
"I know what you are going to say, but I must ask anyway." Marcus' face was a mixture of understanding and concern. "Are you absolutely certain about this, Carlisle? There would have been other options. You already have a lot on your plate. Trust me when I say that taking in a foster child - especially a traumatized one - will require more time and patience than you can possibly imagine."
"Believe me, Marcus, I am fully aware of that." I tried not to sound impatient. "I know what I'm doing, and I'm not having second thoughts. This will work out."
He watched me closely, then nodded in acceptance. "I hope you are right, my old friend. You will be missed here, but I always knew this was only a temporary arrangement. Your life is in Forks."
"Yes." I smiled, knowing he was right. "I must thank you, though. My time here has been a most interesting and eye-opening experience. I suppose you could say I've learned a lot about myself over the last couple of months."
"I'm glad to hear that," he responded solemnly. I accepted his outstretched hand, shaking it. "Now you have to excuse me - I have patients to tend to." With that, we parted.
A few minutes later, I found myself standing outside Edward's hospital room, knowing this would be the last time I stepped inside. It felt strange in a way, being here at the hospital in my regular clothes. And even more strange knowing that when I left this place today, I wouldn't be alone.
Edward knew he was coming home to Forks with me, and he seemed to be accepting the change without objections. I could tell he was relieved to finally be able to leave the hospital, but I had a feeling he had yet to take in what all of this meant for him. He was clearly still very skittish and withdrawn, and would rarely say a word unless he had to.
But that was to be expected. Here he was, merely a child, betrayed and abandoned by those who were supposed to be his family. No doubt would he have lost faith in the human race. It would most likely take a while to gain his full trust, but I was not going to give up.
I only hoped my family and I would be able to help him.

POLICE say bootleg alcohol tainted with methanol has killed one person in the Czech Republic and left a dozen others hospitalised.
Police have raided a kiosk in the eastern city of Havirov where some of the cheap liquor is believed to have originated and arrested a 36-year-old male suspect.
Methanol, or wood alcohol, is mainly used for industrial purposes.
Sona Stetinska, a police spokeswoman, said on Monday that one woman has died from the alcohol and two men are suspected of dying of it in that region. A dozen other victims are being treated in hospitals, with four of them in critical condition.
Authorities have launched a nationwide check of restaurants, bars, liquor stores and street markets to see if the bootleg booze is being sold there.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
I had the bike on my car and the staff allowed me to park the car in front of the entrance, so they could watch it during the night. Very friendly
Spacious room. Breakfast was great! Towels were smelly.
The location, the service, breakfast was ok no airconditioning, no possibility to open the window. At night it was 30c !
it was just a quick stop during travelling, but hotel and people were good, we enjoyed
accomodation, hospitality everything was perfect thank you.
Bar was open until 12pm
We had an extremely good meal in the hotel restaurant. Very good towards our dog we had with us. Aircon was pretty rubbish so the room was very hot.
I spent quiet night, I had a god rest, the room/bathroom is spacious and clean refrigerator was off so the drinks inside were hot, breakfast is separately charched
Free internet service, buffet breakfast, staff where great, location
Staff excellent - rearranged room allocation to provide sofa bed, were very helpful when had car breakdown and the food is quite simply superb
The staff prepared a wonderful breakfast bag for us as we were leaving the hotel very early in the morning to go to the airport. no lift
I was there just overnight as I had an early flight to take from Basel. The hotel was excellently located in the Centre of Weil. We could have a nice walk and had a good meal in the restaurant of the hotel. Hotel with charactger. No lift.
fantastic,clean,great size room to relax in.would recommend it to everyone.Maybe for overseas travellers put a GPS guidance with directions no complaints,
the roof terrace for breakfast your cannot find it - it is a boarding house in a parking garage annex whopping centre - no hotel; they admit the whole complex is a labyrinth and directions are lousy
the room was very large clean and comfortable, with a fantastic view on the river. hotel is above a shopping center and next to the triple border and a nice park. it was not immediate to find hotel and a parking (I arrived late night), but in 10 minutes I found both.
Helpfulness of staff breakfast closed too early on Sunday
Breakfast at rooftop, friendly staff, some free drinks in minibar No airconditioning, nearest town Weil am Rhein at 1,5 km and Basel at 4,5 km, hotel entry is difficult to find
Staff most helpful and as dining room was full advised of a local place to eat which was very very good. Your directions of where to check in and explaination of where the hotel is situated.
right above a shopping center and on the bank of the rhine. you can stand on the footbridge and be in three countries in a matter of seconds
Good price and good space, close to town centre. We find Akzent to be a appartment hotel (we rented a suite for one night), and the standard was not quite up to normal hotel quality. But the suite provided still good value for the money.
Very convenience for stop over on the way to Swiss. Close to highway. Nice to walk along the Rhine. Very nice for dog owner like us. Big park in the front to walk the dog. The entrance is confusing. Not clear at all.
The location
This hotel offers an excellent alternative to staying in Basel (where prices are much more expensive).
Breakfast wasn't really good, some products didn't look fresh
The hotel had an automated entry point. Booking.com never gave me a pin number to log in and i was stranded at the middle of the night without a place to stay. Hotel staff/whoever i reached by phone wasn't helpful and i had tough time last night. I am seriously disappointed to say the least.
Good Greek restaurant in hotel.
Friendlyness of staff No tea/coffee falcilities in room
Clean and confortable, good breakfast Railway and road quite near making noise
Very friendly staff, lovely food, comfortable rooms, close to the train station. I'm being picky but tea and coffee facilities in the room would have been a nice touch, oh and a 'Do not disturb' sign for the door would've been good too!
Easy to find and lots of parking spaces. Room was pleasant and quiet and excellent buffet breakfast.
Well located for business/holiday in Basel area. Friendly host and clean and comfortable room. Ideal for visiting Vitra and Fondation Beyeler.
Convenient for the numerous bars cafes and restaurants nearby.
The room was very private and quiet. All amenities were on hand, toilet, shower, tv, coffee maker, tea kettle and dishes. Nothing, It was wonderful
This was more a guesthouse than a hotel, but it was easy to find, very well kept and new, and we were even offered free coffee and fruit in the room. Nice. It however would have been easier if we had been in a car than using public transportation because of the bus schedules.
Good location nearbay the city center No
accepted cash only, not very convenient! Parking was limited, place was noisy
hotel was good for a short trip. no
We needed room for one night before flight home and Gastehaus 3land was very convenient by car to the airport in Basel. Our room was small, but clean, well appointed and everything looked brand new - very nice and a good value. There were extra thoughtful touches such as hairdryer, teapot, coffeemaker and a nice selection of teas and coffees plus a plate of fresh fruit. The owner was quick to meet us with the key, was very helpful and spoke excellent English. Wi-fi and Satellite TV available. No meals are available, but as we had very early flight, this was not a problem. It was an unusually hot day and an electric fan would have been useful, but otherwise, everything was very nice.
Very helpful owner. Great location, quiet. Close to Basel. We booked a larger room which was very well equipped for a longer stay.
Friendly owner, good value for money, no reception, no breakfast but coffee/tea facilities in the room. One lives like one would live at home. Maybe it's situation if you have no car. A bit complicated as far as public transport goes, but this is normal for a small town.
Good comfort, nice bathroom, very clean, close (300 m) from the border and 10 minutes ride by bus to Basel. The room was not cleaned during my stay, but this is acceptable considering it is not a hotel but a family house.
it was not expensive the last day of our stay, we theoretically could leave at 11 a.m., but at 9 p.m. the room maid started to clean our rooms so we couldn't stay there and wait for the departure, also we asked for an invoice but it was clear that they don't provide them
Excellent. A fantastic flat with and great hosts Nope
the cleaness and the style of the rooms shared bath room
Everything was fine - the staff gave us quick and effective service without problems TV seemed to beout of order but it wasn't a real issue for us
The apartment was very spacious, location was excellent, and fantastic value for money. Also very friendly staff..
clean, quiet, confortable, very near to the very expensive Basel, kind staff - and there's also a terrace;-)
The owner is a very nice and helpful person. The terrace is a nice feature and the facilities are adequate for a family of four. The bathroom is too small and the shower very cramped, would be nice if there was a cleaning service.
The Hotel staff were very friendly, the room was extremely cleaned and tidy. The breakfast was excellent and plentiful. The parking under the building is FREE and secured. Highly recommended to others. NONE, everything was excellent.
The hotel is 50' from the beginning of the ped only zone. Shopping in the small town of Lorrach is truly amazing and so convenient with the hotel immediately adjacent. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have a secure parking garage beneath the hotel that makes it very handy to load/unload and not worry about cargo left in the car.
New guest wing, location to downtown & train station, access to shopping & restaurants. Everything great
The room was very spacious for Europe. The rate also inlcuded a very good breakfast bar each morning. We will stay there again.
the management were very frendly and helpful and also spoke english No
Hotel Staff very helpful. Underground car parking excellent. Room & Bathroom very clean & nice.
The rooms were more like a 5 star accomodation, especially being in europe where rooms are normally very small and simple. These rooms were large, newly appointed, and the showers were large and private for each room. I do not believe there was anything negative. We will be looking to book again next year.
The hotel is comfortable and very reasonably priced. It is in the heart of downtown Lorrach and very convenient to the train station. We plan on going back to Lorrach next year and will probably stay at the Meyerhoff again. The way Europeans fix their beds isn't the most comfortable. I would prefer a sheet set and blanket included rather than just the comforter alone.
very good location, close to the delicious Greek cuisine
Kind staff Internet conecction was failing sometimes
Great Staff, kind andalways available. Great restaurant...amazing!
There was no frig in the hall or room for the drinks they offered (water)_ restaurant was closed during 2 days
Very pleasant staff. Good restaurant. Easy in, easy out. Fast service for taxis.
The personnel was very kind and helpful. Only greenery view from the window. Tasty and rich breakfast included in the price. Reasonably priced, still in Germany, with easy and fast commuting to Basel. One person room, but with large bed. Very good restaurant next to main street and hotel part separated therefore very calm. Lack of shampoo.
Excellent rooms; good restaurant; good breakfast; romantic location Not very friendly servants in restaurant and reception. This is in contrast to the very friendly and helpfull ladies at breakfast
spacious room, quiet, friendly staff, clean. The cot was in the room when we arrived, as requested Bed mattresses were not very confortable
the food is A+++ minibar?
Great service, attention to details, helpful staff, great breakfast, beautiful grounds, and the hotel dog Luna! No, it was fabulous
The helpfulness of staff, the shuttle bus service, nice and calm surroundings no
Please write at least 15 words the Hotel Manager was first class! The service was 5 star and I would recommend this hotel without reservations.
Nice and friendly hotel. Lovely room and for us the ideal stopover on our way to Switzerland. The dinner in the restaurant is a bit too posh, and so rather expensive. We would have preferred it if there was also a possibility to just have a steak with french fries.
noise of boiler near the room
very friendly staff, cosy if somewhat outdated atmosphere, good food in hotel-restaurant, quiet surroundings yet close to the highway making it a good choice for a stopover
We have the luck to stay in the room on the top floor at the main house, which is pretty charmy, spacious, and with great views over Lorrach.
The Villa is a unique house of Art Deco / Art Nouveau style and is spacious and is excellently decorated. Very enjoyable stay free internet access a real bonus. May not be suitable for disabled guests or those who have mobility problems as it is up a steep hill and there is no lift.
I have been welcome very nicely, even I arrived late at 11pm. The breakfast is a bit small, the hotel is a 10 min walk from the station and not too easy to find without car. But it's very clean, the personell is friendly and the rooms are in a "Villa" style like the whole hotel. Over all a very nice hotel to a fair price!
excellent position, nice nature around I would have liked to sleep in the main villa rather than the dependency
Location is excellent for access to Basel and Black Forrest adventures. Staff most helpful, friendly, and spoke English very well. Hotel is elegant B&B with large and well appointed rooms.
The staff were helpful and the original building had alot of character. Most of the rooms were not in the original building - and these rooms seemed to lack any character at all.
very good hotel, nice site. an ideal positinon for to visit basel (oohhhh!!)and the rhein a biggest dog of the world in the hall
I enjoyed the staff and their attentiveness. They went out of their way to provide for us and make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. No.
People were very nice, the view was great and the restaurant offered a good selection and excellent service. We had diner there twice and the food was wonderful. It was a little difficult to locate the hotel and was a little far from the city. You do need a car to get to the city center.
The room was clean and well-decorated. Service from staff good and friendly. Not close to public transport.
Very friendly staff, great view at your breakfast!
nice location, good staff, renewed none
The friendliness of the staff and their willingness to please.
The room was newly renovated with modern conveniences and was decorated in very pleasing colors. It was large and meticulously clean, and had a beautiful view of the valley below the balcony. No. We liked the staff as well as the facilities. Members of the staff even shared wine with us one evening.
great evening meal, fabulous service from helpful staff. Beautifully designed and furnished room and en suite. Interesting wine village for evening walks. The most offensively bad 'painting' above the bed. At utter odds with the decor and ethos of the hotel. Poor taste, badly painted, semi-pornographic...
Great experience, close to Switzerland, really nice staff, nice view of Lorrach. Great food at hotel's restaurant! Totally recommend it!
Very nice situation with a beautiful view over Lörrach. Very good cuisine in the restaurant.
very nice hotel.nice food and i love it
Very well appointed little hotel in the midst of a residential neighbourhood. We arrived late at night, but the staff had everything prepared and gave us directions on how to let ourselves in via phone when we arrived. Thought it was a B&B style, so was surprised with the rather expensive breakfast added to our bill, but the breakfast WAS very good.
price was good, clean, new...
High speed wi-fi, cosy room. Very small room for family (1 child). Uncomfortable bath. No air condition.
Clean room, no restaurant, not very much restaurants in direct neighbourhood
The staff was friendly and helpful.
Very friendly staff (very personal attention due to small scale of the hotel), wonderful food (varied, tasty and well-balanced), nice location (close to the Black Forest). - too many flies in the restaurant, - possibly have been bitten by a bedbug! - not always quiet enough due to the big road passing in front
The staff were very friendly and spoke English quite well. From the moment we stepped in to the moment we left we were treated with class and respect
Very Friendly Staff who also spoke english ! Very Clean comfortable rooms
Fantastic Staff and very clean and comfortable public transport finished at 7PM to and from Hotel
Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Service was wonderful. No air-conditioning and rooms were too hot to sleep. Rooms are right above the street so with windows open due to heat, traffic noise also prohibited sleep.
We stayed at this hotel, actually visiting Switzerland for a football game. The Hotel was easily within reach of Basle, and away from the hustle and bustle of the City. The Hotel was perfectly clean, staff very helpful friendly and courteus, and the Breakfast at 3.60Euros is about the best value I have ever experianced. Were I ever stopping in this area again, I would look no further than this Hotel. David Smith, Leicester UK
Friendly staff. We arrived late, but the restaurant stayed open an extra half hour to serve us. Good breakfast buffet. No information about the advertised internet connection.
The facilities were new and good. The food of the restaurant was good. There seemed to be some visitors to this restaurant from Swiss.
Quiet, nice breakfat,easy parking.
very friendly service and style, nothing seems too much trouble

The Case for Innocence (2000)
Producer: WGBH Educational Foundation
"More than 70 inmates accused of rape and murder have been freed because DNA tests proved their innocence in a way tha evidence and eyewitness accounts never could. Why then are prosecutors, courts and even governors reluctant to use this scientific test?

TurboTax Tips – How to Complete Schedule C, Items A-H
This article will walk you through the process of filling out a critical part of Schedule C with turbotax service code Home and Business. At the top, the Schedule C are eight questions, labeled with the letters A-H. Here's what it takes to complete this section.
A. Principal business or profession, product or service. Put a brief description of your business or self-employment activity. It doesn't have to be long or fancy. Typical examples include consultant, retail store, real estate agent, etc.
B. Enter principal business code. The IRS has a chart with numerous business categories and a corresponding 6-digit numeric code. If you've done Schedule C before and know what your code is, just input that number again. But if this is your first time, or you're not sure what your code is, click on the QuickZoom button to the right and you'll be taken to a screen that lists all the various business categories in alphabetical order. Scroll through the list until you find the right one, then click on the box to the left of the code and the numeric code will automatically get transferred into the appropriate field on Schedule C.
C. Business name. In case you have a business name other than your personal name, input that here. Some Sole Proprietors have a "DBA" or a Doing Business As the name that is used on signage and advertising. Others don't. So if you don't have a DBA, don't sweat it. You aren't required to have one for Schedule C reporting purposes, and if that's the case, leave this field blank.
D. Employer identification number (EIN). Again, you may have one or you may not have one. If you have employees, you should have one. But many self-employed people are flying solo, so it is quite common for a Sole Proprietor to not have an EIN.
E. Business street address. If you did check the box earlier that says "Check this box if you use your home address as your business address", then your home address should already be in this field. But if you have separate business address that is different than your home address, input that here.
F. Accounting method. There are three choices here: Cash, Accrual, and Other. Most Sole Proprietors use the Cash method, which means you report income in the year you receive it and you report expenses in the year you pay them. The Accrual method means you report income in the year you bill it, regardless of when you receive it, and you report expenses in the year you incur them, regardless of when you pay them. If you are not sure whether you are Cash or Accrual, you should get some help on this. There is also a method known as the Hybrid method, which is a combination of Cash and Accrual, and if that is the method you are using, check the Other box and input "Hybrid".
G. Did you materially participate in operation of this business during the year? It is likely that your answer is Yes, otherwise, why would you be filing Schedule C?
H. If you did start or acquired this business during the year, checks here. In other words, check this box if this is the first year for this business. Otherwise, leave it blank.
