Very nice welcome from friendly people! (Host, mother and brother) We got a very quiet room at the ground floor with a great bathroom, apart from the other visitors.
There was a big room to sit and/or eat for all the guests, it was very nice and clean.
We chose to have breakfast 3 mornings and dinner 2 evenings. At breakfast there was more then enough bread, meat, eggs, yoghurt, ... And every morning there was something different warm to eat: sausages, some kind of stew, a kind of omelet.
Dinner was very nice! Mother is a great cook!
You can ask them anything. If it's not in the house, they go to a store to buy it for you. Very good service!
We stayed there with 13 other Belgian people. In the evenings it could be very noisy, but that wasn't a problem at all.
We certainly want to come back and stay with you!
Fantastic weekend! The property was stunning and the facilities we excellent. I would have left a 5 star review anyway but the hosts here were exceptional. Unfortunately I can't give 6 stars. They went well beyond the call of duty. I visited here with a group of friends for my birthday weekend away from the city and was very touched by the bunch of beautiful flowers and cake left on the morning of my birthday. We very very lucky with the weather so made good use of the pool and the area is perfect for being outdoors in the evening. We are all planning our next trip already! Highly reccommended!
Amazing. We went to World Moto Trial Championship in Kramolin and this place is only 2 km away and is was simply the best. Next time we plan to stay and visit some amazing places near by, there is lots to do, full of culture around. The best spot to explore west, south and the rest of Bohemia { Plzen, Krusne mountains, Sumava, Lipno, Cesky Krumlov, West Bohemian spa triangle...etc.}.
Beautiful, modern attic room lovely shower. Fantastic pool perfect to cool down on a hot summer day and top, hospitable, friendly people. We had an amazing stay and would treasure this spot for our next travel adventures. Love it. The place is luxury & awesome.;) the best!

Well, it's Pancake Day, and man, I'd love a damn pancake. But I won't have one. This is as good a time as any to talk a bit about our current diet. I'm not trying to evangelize here; I'm too lazy to care whether other people do what we do. But I've been mentioning words like "primal" and "paleo" on Twitter and Facebook recently, and a few people have asked me what that's all about. So why not?
For the past six weeks or so, the Snook and I have been following a modified primal/paleo diet. We eat meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and dairy. We try to avoid grains, potatoes, legumes, and sugar. We've each dropped a couple kilos, but it's not really about losing weight. We finally realised that eating this way makes us feel the best. It's been a long process to get here...

Model looks great, textures could use improvement (not sure if they're supposed to be placeholders or not, sorry).
I only have one question before I decide if this is actually awesome: will there be some degree of class customization? I don't mean some CoD-style REDDOTSCOPETACTICALKNIFELAUNCHER, just the kind of Rifle you want (maybe you could add some of those primitive sniper rifles with the long-*** scope on them), maybe your choice of revolver, a choice between a sabre or some other kind of melee weapon, and so on. Sorry, I'm just obsessed with customization I guess.
Ha, a clever Photoshop you got there, but I can tell that seagull-man hybrid isn't REALLY at the ocean!
Have you met them in person or on the internet? I think even the dumbest people I've met aren't this stupid.
If you're still looking for testers, I'm available. Though you'll probably get a flood of people saying the same thing. Send me a PM if you want me as a tester.
Pfft, you're obviously not a "kool kid".
Glad to see a fellow Elder Scrolls fan once in a while, I often come across typical "OMG ELDER SCROLLS SUCKS" people.
Guys, stop being so mean! Don't you know that French is the new Arabic? All the "kool kids" know that.
Whenever I see these "even a mentally retarded person wouldn't say that" questions from Yahoo! Answers, I refuse to believe people are that stupid. I have a feeling they're either really good, or really bad trolls. I've never met someone even remotely close to being that stupid and I have a feeling the human race would be declining a lot faster if these were real questions.
Transformers, more than meets the eye!
Reminds me of what they did with alternative energy to power cars. Better for the environment and the owner's bank account, but not good for the corporations? GET RID OF DAT ****!!!!!!
I'll play Nintendo games a couple times a year when I get really bored, but I'm more of an Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc. person.
You might think that would be a good idea, then we could severely deplete the population of unbelievably stupid people that are on this planet! But on the other hand, all the dumb rednecks will use their guns to kill all the smart people that verbally kick their *** in an argument. So maybe it would be a good solution to overpopulation as a whole, hmmmm.........
You are not yet a master of reference posting!
He will probably come dressed as a Painis Cupcake.
Seeing as Hitler was indeed a racist, GSC's comment is correct and yours is not applicable. kthanks =)
Also, that one is more funny.
I'll just pretend that joke makes sense in this situation.
I have a box cutter. ( I also have expert box cutter wielder: Eurweb.com )

Reloading is for people who know how to take cover properly.
Well, one million men isn't exactly a lot of men anymore.
Norton would make a killing selling condoms. They would barely have to change the box they come in as well.
Alrighty. Just pointing out that part of it is "scaring people" not just "dressing up in costume".
ADS means "Aim Down Sights".
Hey now, some of us get offended by this stuff. Have you no common decency?! Tell that bagel to put some damn clothes on and find a better career!

Cocktails with Curators
Have you ever looked at an object and wondered about the story behind the piece? Or been so inspired by an artifact that you wanted to know more about the culture it came from? Do you enjoy knowing extra information to share with your friends and family? Sip a cocktail with a curator and enjoy a lively discussion. Learn, ask and experience Cincinnati Museum Center's collection in a whole new, personal way.
David Conzett
7 p.m. Thursday, July 16
David Conzett
Curator, History Collections & Fine Art
Learn about Cincinnati's contributions to military action from the late 18th century to the modern era through uniforms, weaponry, medical instruments, supplies, photographs and documents, in our new exhibit, Treasures of Our Military Past. Then discuss the exhibit over cocktails with David Conzett, curator of history collections and fine art, in the Duke Energy Children's Museum Lobby.
Curator Bio: David Conzett has been Curator of History Objects and Fine Art for more than 20 years. A native of Dubuque, Iowa—a Mississippi River city known for its meat packing, brewing and steamboat building—he feels very much at home in Cincinnati. Conzett wanted to be a history museum curator from the time he was 10 years old, and he credits his fifth grade social studies teacher, Mrs. Rhoda Adams, for the inspiration and encouragement—never underestimate an elementary school teacher. She taught him not only a love of history, but also an appreciation for historical artifacts, documents and fine art.
Conzett earned a B.A. in history from the University of Dubuque and an M.A. in history from the University of Northern Iowa. His areas of expertise include the American Civil War, the Industrial Revolution and the World Wars. His interest in the Civil War was inspired by two great, great uncles that rode in the 5th Union Cavalry. The first David Conzett was killed in action at Newnan Station, Georgia in 1864 during a raid with General Edward McCook.
Before Conzett came to Cincinnati, he was the Curator and later Acting Director of the University of Northern Iowa Museum, and Curator of Collections with the National Museum of the Boy Scouts of America. During his tenure at Museum Center, its history collections have grown to more than 45,000 historical artifacts and works of art. He also played a major role in the research, design and development of many history exhibits.

Curator Bio: Scott Gampfer, a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, directs our History Collections division and the Cincinnati History Library and Archives. The history collections include the Audiovisual Collections, Archaeological and Ethnographic Collections, Archives/Manuscript Collection, History Object Collection, Printed Works Collection and the Preservation Department. He has more than 33 years of experience in collections management, conservation treatment of two-dimensional collections, management of preservation projects and programming and historical research and exhibition projects. He is a member of the American Association for State and Local History.
Brenda Hunda

Experience Museum Center's collections in a whole new fun, behind-the-scenes way. Choose your favorite cocktail and walk through Cincinnati Under the Sea with resident expert and curator, Brenda Hunda. Her knowledge will amaze you. Her personality will captivate you. Her love of Ordovician fossils will inspire you. All guests will also receive a free Cincinnati Under the Sea poster by John Agnew with ticket purchase!
Cost: Members $20, Non-Members $25. Tickets include exclusive experiences, food and a hosted bar. This event is now sold out!
Curator Bio: Brenda Hunda received her B. Sc. with Honors in Paleontology from the University of Alberta in 1997 and her M. Sc. in Earth Sciences from the University of Alberta in 1999. She received her Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from the University of California, Riverside in 2004. She is currently the Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology at the Cincinnati Museum Center, and Adjunct Professor at the University of Cincinnati. Working within the museum setting, she has extensive experience in communicating science to the public, working with the community and developing outreach programs specifically targeting earth sciences.
Her research focuses on the interpretation of stratophenetic patterns in the Paleozoic; specifically, 1) how fine-scale heterogeneous environmental gradients affect intraspecific morphological patterns of trilobites across temporal and spatial scales, 2) how stratigraphic architecture imprints interpretations of morphological change, and 3) how both of these factors contribute to our understanding of microevolution in the fossil record.

A conservative group dedicated to the repeal of President Obama's healthcare reform law said Thursday that Senate Minority Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) should resign his leadership post if he's not willing to press for a repeal vote in the Senate.
The Hill reported Thursday that McConnell told his conference this week that he does not want to vote again on repealing the law until after the November elections. In response, the conservative Restore America's Voice Foundation said it would "unleash" its 2.3 million activists to call for McConnell's resignation if he doesn't retract his comments.
Hoagland is also chairman of the foundation's RepealItNow.org project, which delivered 1.6 million petitions to Congress last October demanding further votes to repeal the law. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is a spokesman for RepealItNow.org. The Hill has reached out to Huckabee to see if he also thinks McConnell should resign but has not yet heard back.
All 47 Republican senators voted to repeal the law last February. At the time, McConnell said "this fight isn't over" and vowed to seek additional votes for repeal.
This week, however, he told his conference that lawmakers were all on record on where they stood and that a new vote wouldn't accomplish anything. Instead, he said Republicans should focus their efforts on gas prices and the economy.

Originally written on The Cardinal Connect | Last updated 2/4/13
Charlie Strong picked up his 16th verbal commitment from the 2013 class on Sunday evening. Lyn Clark, a 6-foot 215-pound linebacker from New Orleans, LA., committed to the Cards as soon as he arrived home from his official visit to Louisville over the weekend. Clark was the only uncommitted prospect to visit Louisville this weekend. He chose the Cards over Louisiana Tech and had previously been committed to Tulane. The 3-star prospect is considered to be one of the more late bloomers in the 2013 class. Clark's scholarship offer count has climbed in recent weeks. He had 111 tackles, 9 sacks, 2 interceptions and forced 9 fumbles during his senior season.

Family deaths highlight tragedy of suicide
Most Popular
The businessman and his wife who appear to have taken their lives and that of their two-year-old son in their luxury New Territories villa were doubtless too preoccupied with their troubles to realise the irony of their decision. We report the tragedy on World Suicide Prevention Day. Their deaths have raised the profile of an occasion which, despite its importance in highlighting awareness of an issue particularly relevant to Hong Kong, would otherwise have passed relatively unnoticed.
Hong Kong is a suicide-friendly city. Stressful living, high parental expectations, out-of-control gambling and failed business deals -coupled with tall buildings - can easily turn thoughts from the healthy to suicidal. About 1,000 people took their lives last year. Countless others were convinced to change their minds by relatives and friends or counsellors working for suicide prevention services.
It takes an unusually tragic situation to make us pay attention. Such was the case last October when a Tin Shui Wai mother tied up her two children and threw them from their housing estate building before jumping herself. The circumstances drove authorities to improve social services and employment opportunities in what had become a forgotten part of the city. Other suicides receive scant media attention. The murder-suicide near Fanling yesterday is no less tragic but, coupled with World Suicide Prevention Day, it has raised the pitch of voices to save lives. Each suicide could have been prevented. The immediate cry is for more social workers and while there can never be enough people dedicated to helping others, it is not in itself a solution. That most immediately lies in education.
Groups such as the Samaritans and Hok Yau Club are doing an admirable job of increasing awareness, and we should listen to their messages more closely than ever today. They will tell us of the signs to watch for in those with suicidal tendencies. Lives can be saved if those clues can be recognised early and sources of stress promptly dealt with. Doing so is in all our interests - suicides take valuable lives. They emotionally scar relatives, friends and colleagues for years. Everyone loses.

- Episode Description
Man-At-Arms has managed to make contact with a peaceful alien being called Om, hovering above Eternia. When Om is being welcomed by the people of Eternos, Skeletor invades the city with General Tataran and the Goblin Army. A fierce battle follows, and Om is confused by the way the two sides fight against one another, as his race knows no violence. So to see which side is wiser and stronger, Om selects He-Man from the side of good, and Skeletor from the side of evil, and pits them against one another in a fight to the finish.moreless

Quotes (2)
Man-At-Arms: Today we saw a terrible conflict between two opposing forces, and in the end the battle was not won by some powerful weapon; it was won by a single act of compassion. Compassion means caring for others, wanting to help them. Fighting is often not the way to settle a problem. It may prove who is stronger, but it doesn't prove who is right. And remember sometimes it takes more courage not to fight. See you soon.
Skeletor: So, He-Man, it's just you and me!
Notes (2)
The character General Tataran was named after Tom Tataranowicz, one of the show's storyboard artists. He later re-appeared in the series' most popular episode, "The Problem With Power".
The plot of this episode is borrowed from a Star Trek episode with the same name. It was later re-used in another He-Man episode, called "The Games".
Trivia (1)
In the scene where Skeletor and Tataran are in Snake Mountain planning their attack, Skeletor states that they must 'fly to Eternia' to attack the Royal Palace. But Snake Mountain is on Eternia...

We stayed here for the first time between Christmas and New Years, it will not be our last.
Great room, I love a suite with a fridge and two rooms. Wonderful price, loved the breakfast, light dinner with 3 drinks(beer, wine & cocktails) I even had a dinner for 15 people in the dining room, after the light dinner. My favorite was that TOBY, my 17 lb pup stayed for free. My only critique is the room had no plates, pots and dinnerware. It may have been my first stay, it won't be my last.

Her house rules were not stated....when there are ashtrays left in a house you would assume smoking is allowed but we were then told off for utilising them and leaving a smoking smell in the house....well perhaps she should have stated it was no smoking?
From the first time i told you there is no balcony in the apartament, there was ashtray only in the living not in the bedroom. Regarding curtain gallery, mabe when you want to close or to open the windous, you pulled tightly curtain and it was broken. Ok dear, i will repair myself this dameges, but your behaviour but was disastrous. You left the door open when you leave the apartament. You simply run. You must announce before you leave the apartment. Unfortunately, I thought you were a good girl. I don't need your money, i need good people. If you would get in your home, and I run then ruining your stuff and leaving the door open without getting ad. I send you a privat message, but you didn't answer to me. Ok God bless you! By

California's drought may end up having a bigger impact on your grocery cart than you realize, and it's not just about almonds and avocados.
The drought in California is now in its fourth year and the worst on record. All Americans should be concerned, because California produces nearly half of U.S.-grown fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
With the state suffering through the most severe drought on record and everyone from Central Valley farmers to L.A. homeowners cutting back on their water usage, the image of kayaking on the Los Angeles River may seem counterintuitive.
Much like stubborn weeds growing between breaks in the sidewalk, Detroiters simply will not let their city fall away into disrepair or allow buildings to stay abandoned.

Throughout his time in Congress, he has cast himself as a defender of the Great Lakes. But a decisive vote to prevent the EPA from enforcing efforts to cut carbon pollution puts Senator Kirk in the camp of folks trying to kill the most essential tool to safeguard the Lakes over the long-term.

Arsenic. Hexavalent chromium. Lead. Mercury. Do these sound like things you want in the glass of water you are about to drink? I'm guessing no, but power plants are discharging more than 5.5 billion pounds of these pollutants into our waterways every year.
Although EPA didn't find evidence of hydraulic fracturing activities causing widespread, systematic drinking water contamination, they did find many instances of localized impacts to water supply and water quality.
Poverty is a pervasive concern in high fertility countries. The world has made progress in reducing severe poverty, but it's been exceedingly slow in countries where population growth rates remain high. While family planning can reduce demographic vulnerability, developing countries also require other forms of assistance.
A handful of bills currently in play on Capitol Hill would obstruct federal agencies from enacting science-based rules, setting back health and environmental safeguards for decades to come.
Big businesses and the private sector are undergoing a major overhaul as we all need to consider the impacts of our current rates of consumption, manufacturing processes, and sourcing of raw materials to sustain our future existence.
The COP 21 climate negotiations require a new solutions-driven approach if it is to succeed. But it is possible and illustrates why Paris differs from COP 15 in Copenhagen.
Let's be clear. The EPA is doing its job. The Congress asked for a report on the effects of fracking on water and they got it. Case closed, right? The problems with this approach are so numerous as to be called widespread.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's review of fracking's threats to water quality was met with exaltation from the oil industry for this principal finding: "We did not find evidence that [fracking has] led to widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water resources in the United States."

Your Reviews
"Don't live without it…"
I didn't realise quite how useful this was until the wire broke. I thought my son had just got the hang of sleeping through the night in his bed. 3 or 4 nights of 'Mummeeeeee is is mornign yet?' at 2, 3 or 4am and I was desperate to get a replacement. Turns out they do replacement wires for £5. Wonderous. Now we get to sleep in until oooh at least 6am....Read moreLess

"Depends on your child…"
Yes the product is well made, sturdy, nice idea etc. But a couple of flaws. 1) if you switch it off during the day at all you have to reset the time which is a pain (it remembers the 'alarm' time however). 2) my main problem is that my son has worked out that if he pulls the wire out if the back and then puts it back in again the clock will reset to 'sun' regardless of the tine. So he just comes into our room saying the sun's up regardless of the time we set! One useful feature has been the countdown stars (12stars that dosappeR one by one during the night. We used that to set rules such as 2 or more stars, stay in bed, 1 star left you can put the light on and read.Read moreLess

"Simple and effective…"
Like others have said, this is pretty expensive for a digital clock, but it's great. My 3 year old loves it and loves to stay in bed to wait for the sun! It's still dark in mornings at present, but I anticipate it'll be v useful for lighter mornings!
It'd be 5 stars if it had rechargeable bqtteries. An enthusiastic LO can pull out the power cord, rendering the clock useless! Put it up high or do some prebriefing!Read moreLess

"I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son…"
I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son after a few hellish weeks of being woken up between 4:30 and 5 a.m. I was beginning to think I'd never get a good nights sleep, so turned to the internet in desperation. I found hundreds of reviews for the Gro Clock, some good, some bad. And I'll be the first to admit I was more than a bit sceptical. Especially due to the price. It was a lot of money for something I wasn't sure would work. So, I decided not to order one and sleep on it. However, at being woken up at 4:45 the next morning, I was straight on the computer putting my order in! And I'm so glad I did. Just two weeks later and my son's staying in bed until 7, at which point he comes running in to me shouting "the sun's up, Mummy!". I would definitely recommend this to anyone that asked.Read moreLess

Photos: LAPD adds Lamborghini to fleet
Officer Sally Madera says that the car is privately owned and will be loaned to police for "charity events and recruitment"
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Police Department is getting a Lamborghini.
But don't expect to see the exotic Italian sports car — decked out with police decals and painted black and white — pursuing fugitive drivers down the city's freeways.
Officer Sally Madera says that the car is privately owned and will be loaned to police for "charity events and recruitment."
KNBC-TV reports that Nathalie and Travis Marg of a Los Angeles-based telecommunications company called Light Source 1, Inc., donated the use of their car to support the department's air support team.
According to Lamborghini's website, the 2014 model of the car has a top speed of 199 mph.
