Tekken and Lord of Vermilion Collaborate For An April Fool's TitleBy Sato . April 1, 2015 . 1:30am
Square Enix and Bandai Namco have announced their latest collaboration title between their respective arcade titles in Lord of Vermilion and Tekken.
Square Enix and Bandai Namco have announced their latest collaboration title between their respective arcade titles in Lord of Vermilion and Tekken.
While Jin and Devil Jin are familiar to Tekken players, Josie Rizal is a new character.
During the interview, Famitsu asks the producer if he could share more behind what they aim to do with the new character, Claudio Serafino, the first Italian fighter introduced in the series.
Whether you've done it in front of a mirror or not, it's pretty much every Kamen Rider fan's dream to be able to strike wicked poses and "henshin" into one of the heroes.
To make Tekken 7 more accessible each character has two preset motions that do extended combos. It's a mechanic similar to the auto combo in Persona 4 Arena, but players need to memorize motions like QCF + right punch to do Paul Phoenix's simpler preset combo.
A new Tekken 7 video demonstrates the new Super Slow Motion feature that occurs when two players have little health remaining and pull off moves at the same time, which sounds like it could create some memorable moments in big events like EVO.
SKYCURSER hearkens to arcade games of the past when flesh and machine guts splatted across the screen.
Capcom have plans to begin distributing arcade music games in Japan and other Asian territories, the company announced this week.
Japanese arcade machines are going to be offering e-money payment options in order to offer more flexible pricing.
Photographs of Tekken 7's boss character Kazumi Mishima have surfaced.
All of Pokkén Tournament's basic features in a new gameplay video.
New screenshots of the Dissidia Final Fantasy arcade game focus on the Warrior of Light.
Square Enix recently teased a new arcade title earlier this week, with images of pixel-art Final Fantasy characters, which has been revealed to be Dissidia: Final Fantasy for arcades.
KanColle is coming to arcades with 3D character models and a unique arcade cabinet. The KanColle Arcade machine has a mini ship wheel and telegraph to steer the moe warships the series is known for.
Gunslinger Stratos 2, the third-person Light gun shooter by Byking and Square Enix announced in JAEPO 2015 that they're collaborating with Capcom's Ultra Street Fighter IV to bring a bunch of costumes to the arcade title.

Good Girl
[Oct. 28th, 2014|
08:22 pm
While has been a really long time since I have posted anything here, it seems fitting it is here I come to write this. A month or so ago, we were trying to figure out how long Tessa had been with us. Keeping track of time isn't one of my strong points and I kept thinking Tessa was 10 years old. So, late one night, I sat down and went through this journal to find the first mention of her. 13 years ago.
We didn't know how old Tessa was when she showed up in Bryan's yard on Spence street. We kept seeing this little red dog playing with Loki in our yard. They seemed to be good friends and would run around, chasing each other for hours. But if one of us went outside, she would instantly disappear. She had no interest in getting to know us. Loki was her friend and all she cared about.
She had a blue collar around her neck, ragged and torn. It looked like the part that would have held the ring had torn free. Pretty impressive as it was a heavy nylon collar and it must have taken an extreme act to tear it. I kept that collar for a long time, often wondering what had scared or hurt her so badly that she found the strength to break free of the chain that held her.
I don't know what had happened to her. I do know the words that eventually set her free. Good girl. Repeated a million times. Until she believed it.
I am sitting here, alone. Bryan is at the shop. Working hard to forget what we've lost. These are my first moments by myself, since she's been gone. I have not brought her bed back into the house. She loved her bed and it is where she spent the last moments of her life. Out in the yard, amongst the leaves, during the time of year she loved, surrounded by people who loved her. With Bryan and I holding her and telling her how much we love her and what a good girl she's been.
For most of the thirteen years she was with us, I woke up to Tessa. She would lay by the bed and wait till I opened my eyes. She was always so happy to see me. I always had this feeling she was scared I wouldn't open my eyes and come back. 13 years, her smiling face was the first thing I saw every day.
When she was still spry enough, she would jump on the bed, lie across me and get her tummy rubbed. My heart started to break when she could no longer make the jump onto the bed. It shattered to pieces Saturday morning when I woke up and she was not there to greet me.
A year after we finally caught her and began the long process of helping Tessa heal, Loki was diagnosed with bone cancer and we had to let him go. I have always believed Loki was responsible for bringing Tessa to us. Fanciful thinking, perhaps, but he was that type of dog. We were devastated when we lost him. I think Tessa most of all.
Now she is gone as well. Our last connection to him. A huge loss in her own right. There will never be another dog like her. While I love all my animals and I certainly love Thor, Tessa was my heart dog. She loved me, I was her person.
I have wished for one more summer, one more Fall, one more Christmas...more time with her. I would have given almost anything for her to stay with me.
I sit here, wishing she was still here. With the reality of her loss finally sinking in and nothing to distract me from the hurt of it all. I can't ignore her loss when the house is quiet and she's not lying on her bed. I will miss her more than words can express.
Good girl Tessa, good girl.

Things I am Grateful For
[Jun. 5th, 2010|
06:41 am
Lily when's she's talking in the next room. " i love you, good girl. Mom, mom, mom i love you. Have kisses?"
Thor sitting in front of the bearded dragon tank, completely enthralled with them. He so wants to play with them. He even tries to give them kisses. He loves all the other critters in the house and checks on each of them to make sure everything is ok.
Tessa rolling on her back for tummy rubs and being so excited to see me every morning. Nothing can make my heart flip like seeing her smile. Well, except DB's smile but it's a close second.
Perch coming to sit on my lap while i'm basking in the sun. i love listening to her purr.
Rex giving me kisses and making the kiss, kiss noise.
Shelby letting me give her skritches after hating me for a year.
Georgie being happy when his girl is playing with him. And finally learning to trust someone who loves him dearly.
Pokey dancing and giving kisses.
Mr Gosh fluttering his wings cause he's happy to see me.
Bean....well, he's still being a hormonal teenager, but he is lovely to look at and sweet to cuddle when he's in the mood for it.
Ozzy and Sharon eating side by side from their treat cups. It's so damn cute and they are so beautiful.
Orchids in beautiful bloom and smelling so lovely.
Genni who is still sticking with us, who still has the energy to play and make us laugh. And her hair is starting to grow back. Maybe she'll be with us for a while yet. i'm glad she decided to stick around even though she's lost her best friend.
My community and the people in it. Even though it sometimes makes me crazy, sad, mad, angry and frustrated, it is the only place i can really be me. It has taught me so much about myself, opened my eyes to the many different types of people out there and taught me acceptance.
People who really do try to hear both sides of the story. And know that good intentions do count for something.
My health holding relatively steady. Not having to go for MRI's every six months anymore.
My friends who do such wonderful things for me. Who tell me they love me, listen to me vent and help make everything ok. Who remind me, every day, why i do what i do. They are the people who keep me sane, give me a kick when i need it, cry with me and most importantly, laugh with me.
Road trips. 'nuff said. You know why.
My Love who can still take my breath away. In the most wonderful ways. Who knows everything there is to know about me and loves me anyway. Who has always been there and has never let me down where it really counts.
Living to see 44 years of age. i didn't think i'd make it this far.
Lily, who just came over, looked at the computer screen and asked "Whatcha doing Mom?"
"Writing sappy posts on the internet".
Lily: "It's ok, it's ok, have kisses, good girl".
Yup, i have many things to be grateful for.
How about you?

Good Thing The Tickets Where Free
[Sep. 14th, 2009|
03:18 am
We were given a couple of free tickets to the Marilyn Manson show. We hadn't planned on going, but hey, free tickets. Good thing they were free as we walked out about 3/4 of the way through.
Easily, the worst concert I've ever been to. Manson looked bored and it seemed like he was just going through the motions. His stage was boring and his "shock" theatrics like the Nazi imagery with dollar signs instead of swastikas just came across as tired.
We were both bored. The center was about 2/3 full and most of the crowd stayed in their seats. Except when they were getting up and walking around.
The best part of the concert was when Manson asked the crowd to hand him a dollar. I guess someone threw a loonie at him as Manson than threatened the guy for throwing something at him and hitting him in the face. Manson then made a crack about our dollar being worth half of an american dollar. The people around us booed him loudly and exclamations of "At least we have an economy!" were heard. That made me laugh.
As we were leaving, I overheard a teenage girl exclaim, "THAT'S Marilyn Manson??" in a voice full of sarcasm. Indeed.

Finally! Good News, Georgie
[May. 14th, 2009|
03:38 pm
For the first time, Georgie's vet results were positive. His liver and kidney functions have returned to normal. He actually put on weight!!! He's still smaller than he should be but it's a start.
The best part? He can finally come out of quarantine and join the rest of the flock. Poor Georgie has been living alone in a room away from the other birds. Hopefully he'll start to become more social and friendly once he can watch and interact with the other birds.
At least we saved one of them. I wish it had been both and Gracie was still with us. But given what his condition was like, I more than happy to have him healthy again.

It's a start!
[Apr. 10th, 2009|
04:26 am
Georgie is our 20 year old, rescue Mollucan. We recently lost his mate, Gracie, so he's been having a rough time. We know he's a wild caught bird, was never a pet and we took him out of a horrific home.
I've never met an animal so determined not to make friends. Give him a treat and he throws it at you. If you put the treat in his dish, he takes it out and throws it away. He hisses and growls when we approach his cage. When we have had to towel him to get him to the vets, he screams so loud, our ears ring for hours afterwards. Cutting his nails is a huge production and one we are always happy to come away with all our fingers intact.
It's hard to make friends with a bird like this. Treats do not motivate him, so coaxing him on to the step up perch doesn't work. I've been desperately trying everything and anything to get through to him.
The only things he seems to like is the tug game and when I sing to him (if you ever heard my singing, you'd wonder why, maybe my screeching sounds familiar to him). He'll sway along with me and he seems to go into his happy place. We recently discovered if I sing to him when we're toweling him (which I hate having to do but other than sedating him, we have no choice. He has some major health issues and sedation could kill him.), he'll settle down and stop screaming. Picture us at the vets, with a rather terrified vet tech, a pissed off, screaming bird, a vet who is always dead calm and me singing "Georgie, Georgie, give me your heart so true, I'm half crazy over the love of you".....over and over again to calm him down. It worked but my vet ended up laughing so hard she had to leave the room for a moment. *sigh*. Life with George is interesting.
We had a breakthrough today. Whenever Georgie makes a soft sound, I go to him and sing. Or we play tug with a branch. He likes the tug game quite a lot. Today I moved my hand closer up the branch, each time until I was able to stroke his beak with my finger. The first few times, he let go of the stick and lunged for my finger. After a few times, as long as the stick is in his beak, I've been able to stroke his beak for a few moments!! And I kept all my fingers! Eureka, a breakthrough.
Then I tried to see if he would step up on the hand held perch. We've introduced the step up perch to him for a while now. His usual response is to either chew it to splinters in 2.5 seconds or to grab it and throw it. So it was much to our surprise and shock today, he stepped up quite quickly!! We were able to take him into our T.V. room, place him on a play perch and visit with him. Not one scream out of him. Nobody lost any body parts. He even took a piece of orange from me and ate it.
For the first time, I feel we have a chance of taming him. My gut feeling is he wants to be friends but he is too scared. It's taken us since October to get this far. But it's a start. A good start. Now if I could only convince him getting his nails trimmed is a good thing......

sick to my stomach with worry
On New Year Eve, Gracie fell from the play stand. From about 3 feet onto the stone that surrounds the fireplace. We spent the night taking care of her.
She's stopped eating, most likely because of pain. She's lost all the weight I managed to put back on her through hours hand feeding her, and more. We are now tube feeding her twice a day. She was doing so well. I had finally started to believe she might make it after all.
I don't think she's going to make it. After all our work to save her, if she dies, it will be due to human error. Yeah.

The two-time defending NBA champion Miami Heat are considering the possibility of bringing back troubled free-agent forward Michael Beasley league sources told Yahoo Sports. Several of the Heat's key veteran players are supportive of the signing of Beasley and he has a strong interest in returning to the franchise responsible for taking him with the second overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft sources told Yahoo. No offer has been made and no deal is considered imminent sources said. The Phoenix Suns reached a buyout agreement with Beasley on the remaining two years of his contract last week. Beasley 24 was charged for marijuana possession in an August arrest adding to his considerable history of issues surrounding pot. Beasley left Phoenix with approximately $7 million of the $9 million owed him on an original three-year $18 million contract.

Photo Flash: First Look at the Inaugural Mystery Writers Key West Fest
The first annual Mystery Writers Key West Fest took place this past weekend in the Southernmost City in the Continental United States. Attendees declared it a success.
Award-winning mystery writer Sandra Balzo said, "Wow -- what a wonderful, energizing weekend! From the opening event at the Smokin' Tuna on Friday night, right on through the panels on Saturday to the final signing by the pool, Key West Fest was a blast. Friendly people in a unique setting, all talking about mystery. How can you beat it? I don't know, but I have a hunch you will -- NEXT year. See you then!"
Nearly two-dozen popular mystery writers gathered at MWKWF to share their secrets about writing whodunnits to an eager audience.
Major sponsors of the conference included the Mystery Writers of America, Florida Keys Council of the Arts, and Key West Citizen.
Absolutely Amazing eBooks was also a sponsor -- and several of its top mystery writers appeared on the non-stop panels.

Hugo Movie Quotes
'Hugo' movie quotes represent some of the best lines from Martin Scorsese's epic family adventure/drama film (based on the 2007 Brian Selznick book 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret'). This fantastical, gorgeous movie is already getting serious Oscar buzz, so why wouldn't it contain some awesome movie quotes? We're talking about Scorsese here, after all, and we're talking about the legendary director's first-ever 3D movie (and one for kids, to boot). I've compiled what I think are some of the best quotes from 'Hugo,' though I'm sure there are many more. See a favorite listed? Vote it up! And if I've left off your personal favorite 'Hugo' movie quote, add it to the list.
In 'Hugo,' a 12-year-old orphan, Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) sets out on a journey through 1930s Paris to find out more about his father (Jude Law) and the mysterious automaton he's created. Hugo lives in a train station, where his uncle tends to the many clocks. There, he meets young Isabelle (Chloe Moretz). Together, Hugo and Chloe try to unlock mysteries while eluding the evil train station inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen).
'Hugo' was hailed by many critics as being one of Martin Scorsese's great films. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) apparently agreed: 'Hugo' garnered multiple 2012 Golden Globes Awards nominations, including Best Motion Picture Drama, Best Director and Best Original Score.
Looking for more great family adventure movies quotes? Check out these lists for the best lines from 'The Muppets,' 'Arthur Christmas,' 'Jack and Jill,' 'Puss in Boots,' 'Happy Feet 2' and 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II.'
- Tip: Navigate with your { left and right } arrow keys1
One Big Machine+ 32- 2
Hugo: "I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason."
Words of wisdom from Hugo Cabret. He is on Earth for a reason, even if he's not sure yet what that reason is...l< << PREV 1 of 15 NEXT >>

Convenient for my purposes. Hotel is well taken care of for its age. Free wi-fi.
Could have a better continental breakfast. I would stay there again.
The location downtown was convenient. The building has some beautiful architectural features. the room was small but clean and efficient.
Exit door was dead bolted when I attempted to take bags out in the early morning. the stairway was very dark and only lighted during the evening hours.The only staff member on duty when we checked out could not give a receipt or check our billing.
Although it could use some updating, the rooms where very clean. The owner was very nice. I liked that they had seating and bbq's around the property that made it feel quaint. There are also gorgeous gardens w/ info about the plants. would def. recommend

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
Beau Allen goes to Eagles at No. 224 overall
Madison – Defensive lineman Beau Allen became the fifth Wisconsin player selected in the 2014 NFL draft on Saturday.
Allen, who was not invited to the NFL scouting combine, was taken in the seventh round, with the No. 224 pick overall, by the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Don't tweet serious things too often," Allen posted on his Twitter account. "but I'm so happy to be part of such a great organization.
"I'm ready to get to work."
The 6-foot-2, 329-pound Allen played in 54 games, with 26 starts at UW. He played all of the 2012 season on a bad ankle that required surgery in the offseason. He came back to record 20 tackles in 13 games last season.
"He doesn't move great but he is a tough run-stuffer," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said during the telecast. "And he fits what they do.
"He brings a little bit of size. This kid wins with size. He is a two-down thumper."
The Eagles finished 29th in the league in total defense (394.0 ypg) last season.
ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. believes can help improve the unit.
"The kid held up well," Kiper Jr. said. "Played defensive tackle and nose tackle. Played in 54 games."

The toxic politics of fracking in Britain beg important questions: are our leaders serving the interests of the people, or their wealthy friends in the fracking industry? Whatever the answer, one thing is clear: the government's wilful disregard of legitimate public concerns over fracking is a shameful attempt to impose a future on this country that three-quarters of us do not want. Fracking, it seems, can poison democracy as well as the environment.
The creation of an English Parliament would face considerable issues and political hardship; given the size of England in relation to the rest of the Union. However taking into account the current path we are on, I believe that the creation of a federal Britain is the only viable route we can take. This will help to create a more democratic society, paving the way for another 300 years of political union.
A day after one of Hong Kong's three pro-democracy protest camps was cleared by police and bailiffs, hundreds of pro-democracy activists returned to Mong Kok's main shopping thoroughfare on Thursday evening. Instead of erecting tents, activists convened to collectively watch movie trailers and adverts on a cinema billboard.
Just after the results of the Brazilian presidential elections were made public a few days ago, giving current President Dilma Rouseff of the leftist Workers Party a small margin of victory over her opponent Aécio Neves, the British weekly magazine The Economist did what it always does, and came up with one of their worst ever statements.
While it may be more comforting to consider these men but lone wolves acting upon their own deranged ideas, that no longer seems to be the case. In this age of social media and easily accessible information in which we live, it is no longer necessary for contact to be made for a message to be passed on.
The political class in this country are not in it to serve you. They are not in it to give back to their country. They are not in it to improve life for the ordinary hardworking people of this country. No. They believe that they have a right to rule, and they think that anything they do to stay in power is alright.

Excellent tour. Bipassed all the very long ticket purchase lines. The river cruise was entertaining and a unique vantage point from which to see the London Bridge and the parliment buildings. The London Eye was fun, especially for the kids. Good value overall.
Doing what: London Eye and Thames River Sightseeing Cruise
We have figured when travelling abroad the most effective way to look at a new city is by going on a bike tour. So with this in mind we booked the Fat Tire Sunset Bike Tour in London and we were totally amazed and delighted with the result. The tour guides very extremely friendly, patient and so knowledgable of London and all its history. We came away with a more indepth and hands on look at London than what we could ever see from a bus. The tour was prefectly timed so that when we rode onto the London bridge it was dusk and the spectacular vista of Tower bridge with her lights was breath taking. We found that we went back to the special little places a few days later to have a good look at and realising the we wouldn't have known that they were there if not for the bike tour. I 100% recommend this tour to any one visiting London
Doing what: London Evening Bike Tour
I highly recommend getting a London Pass - it was easy to use, and you save so much money! Just plan your day(s) to maximize how many places you can visit. I had a 2 day pass, and managed to visit the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, Jewel Tower and had a river cruise on day 1. On day 2, I saw St. Paul's Cathedral, Hampton Court Palace and Southwark Cathedral. There are discounts at some of the gift shops too! It was kind of nice to see all of the main places in 2 days as well, so we had the rest of the time to visit free things like galleries and parks and go shopping. It's perfect if you like to plan ahead - it's totally worth it!
Doing what: London Pass
Both of these activities were excellent! The London Eye was great and the line moved surprisingly quickly. The views were phenomenal! The ride actually lasted half an hour. Just be sure to trade in your Viator voucher for tickets at the ticket building before you get in line, because they will not take your voucher as a ticket to get on. Viator should mention this important fact! We were able to skip the line because we already went through the line once after we found out we had to get the voucher exchanged. They were cool about that. The Thames River cruise was great as well. However, you must know where to go to get the river cruise tickets in exchange for your voucher! Guess what?! It is not the same place as the London Eye ticket building! Both these activities are run by different tour companies and take different tickets. Because we are savvy travelers, we did not listen to the girls at the London Eye ticket building. They wanted us to walk a mile away to somewhere they did not know. Duh! We instead found that the ticket booth on the boarding ramp to the right of the London Eye was where we had to go. After that, we took the cruise and it was entertaining, fun and informative. Our guide was funny and made it interesting. There were plenty of great photo opportunities as well. It was also a lengthy cruise that took us all the way to Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. Overall, a great tour and worth the money. I highly recommend it!

This day went so quick and so easy to do just hop on hop off The eye was amazing as we had such great weather, Boat trip was full of intresting guides, only hint i would give anyone hear is dont cross back over Westminster Bridge to get boat, as they make a stop right outside The Eye anyway. Tower of London really great
Doing what: Tower of London and Thames River Sightseeing Cruise
The London Eye was fun, but the best part was the cruise along the Thames. Our guide had a working knowledge about the buildings and architecture along our cruise, the bridges, neighborhoods, even the seasonal water levels of the Thames itself! Our cruise began at Westminster and ended at the Tower of London. Great photos, fascinating history, lovely afternoon - we highly recommend!
Doing what: London Eye and Thames River Sightseeing Cruise
Really enjoyed this pass and felt we got our monies worth. Probably saved about $50 each based on what we saw. Even though some of the reviews say the museums are all free, that's not the case. For example, the Churchill War Rooms and Britain Guard Museum both charged, and I think many others do as well. The only thing we saw that I didn't care for was the London Bridge Experience, waste of time. Everything else was great!
Doing what: London Pass
I highly recommend the London Pass and Travel Card combo. We only had 3 days in London and bought the 2 day Pass along with the Card. We were able to visit both the Wimbleldon and Wembley Stadiums, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Shakespeare Theater, St Paul's Cathedral, Tate Modern, but unfortunately, there was a riot, so we did not make it to Westminster Abbey.
The underground and double decker buses were very easy to fgure out with a map. If you are staying by Kings Cross Station- you can take this train to Heathrow Airport ( it takes about 1 hour) so make sure you give yourself enoght timeSan Francisco.
A very satisfied customer from San Francisco.

The one and only must do. In less that an 2 hours, you can get great photos of the Thames, Parliament, Big Ben, the aquarium, the Tower of London and London Bridge. If you only have one day to tour London, this is the way to do it.
Doing what: London Eye and Thames River Sightseeing Cruise
The Thames river cruise was very nice and relaxing. You receive a great deal of history and facts about sites along the river. The only drawback about the cruise was we took the last one from the London Eye and it didn't bring us back there. It dropped us off on the other side of the river where the boat was going to be serviced and we had to walk back over the bridge to the get on the London Eye. We did not get told this when we got on the boat. The London Eye gives you a great view of the city and some excellent photo opportunities. Enjoyed both of these activities and would recommend them as part of your London experience.

We packed a lot into that 2 day pass. We did the Tower of London, London Bridge, Windsor Castle, Globe Theater, used the pass for discounts to the Clink prison museum. There really are too many choices to do in so little time.

We got the 3 day pass and travel card. Well worth it. Underground, DLR, buses were all covered. We visited Tower of London, Tower bridge, St'Paul's, London Bridge, and Greenwich. The six day pass would have been excellent to cover most places, but we had only 3 days. Would definitely recommend the pass. If possible , collect it it a day prior to sightseeing from the visitor center, so you can use the Travel Card right away, next morning. The travel guide needs updating. Website was more accurate.

Both the eye and the river trip wee very enjoyable. Had the impression from the paperwork I received that we would go as far a Greenwich but we turned at Tower Bridge.

The Travel Pass is a good value for the money, provided you maximize and plan the sights you want to see. For instance, Windsor Castle takes most of a day, but include it with Eaton College. The same for Kew Gardens and the Kew Bridge Steam Museum.

The London Pass is good if you don't want to get an early start to your day. The travel that is included is for after 9:30, so if you want to get up early and get to the sites at that time you won't. You can buy a travelcard for 5 pounds and travel during rush hour, this is not a big issue.
If you go to The Tower of London, Tower Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral and take a ferry boat you get your money's worth in one day, you can have lunch at some nice restaurants with the deals in the book. If you are going to the theater, use this pass on another day. There was a nice wine tasting activity. If you plan your trip well, this card is useful for one day or two days to enjoy yourself.
Doing what: London Pass
Great overview of London, and changing of the guards was fun. Old double-decker bus (open on top) circles the main London sites, then disembarks at the Tower of London to get onto a boat to return to Westminster bridge and the changing of the guards. Boat time was dull, and could have been skipped. Guide got us to a couple of good spots for the changing of guards, which was the highlight of the trip. Other sites were just from bus. If you want to get closer to sites, better to use a hop on and off bus; you'll miss a few good stories from guide, but get to see more.

I did not know that St. Paul's was not possible with the London Pass. That was a big shock after paying for the pass. Having unlimited London Underground is excellent. Fast track to the London Eye, Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and The Momument and Tower Bridge of London was great!
Doing what: London Pass
We did the Eye first. It was raining, so the view and camera shots were marred a bit by the rain, but it still was special. We felt that there was no standard number of people admitted to each car. Ours was packed, with not seats enough on the bench for everyone. The car following ours had less than a dozen. Ours was not overcrowded due to groupings, as most of us seemed to be in two's or three. Better visitor management would have made things more pleasureable.
Then the cruise, also in the rain, but that was not the problem. Due to the school holiday, the boat was full of school groups -- particularly two large high school groups on their way to the Tower of London. They couldn't care less about the trip, and were so loud with their conversations that we were unable to hear the narrative, which was late to start. When I went in search of someone to quiet them, the only person "in charge" was the woman at the snack bar. She did turn up the volume, which nearly blasted us out, but at least we could hear it. Thankfully they all departed at London Bridge.
We rode on toward Greenwich with volume more to favorable to our eardrums. As we were docking at Greenwich, the boat hit the pier, and the front window shattered. I had been sitting in the seat directly under the shattered window, but my companion, who had gone back to the Loo had called to me to join him in preparation to disembark just moments before the crash. Talk about thanking your lucking stars!!
We hitched a ride back to Westminister Bridge on a boat that was just preparing to leave. On that trip we had a live commentator who was very informative.
One suggestion we would make to the cruise company is that they interject something about the new buildings you see from the Thames. No mention was made of the Shard, or that egg-shaped building which may or may not be finished, and there was a rail station under restoration.
We were glad to be back on land -- and safely!
Doing what: London Eye and Thames River Sightseeing Cruise
A worthwhile pass. Coupled with a London hop on hop off bus this pass allowed us to get to and enter many interesting places - Westminster Cathedral, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, River tour, Churchill War Rooms, St Paul's Cathedral and others.
Doing what: London Pass
The tour guide was awesome, he was funny and friendly and knowledgable, but the whole tour just felt a little rushed, we only had a couple minutes at each stop, barely time to take pictures let alone visit a gift shop or anything and we were only on the cruise for 10 minutes and saw a couple bridges. I thought this would be a good way to see a lot of sites, but I think next time I'll just pick a couple I'm interested in and maybe spend my money on a tour there instead of the bus.

Had we not been there during the Jubilee, this would have been worth it. As it was, we saved money, but it was difficult and time consuming to navigate with the crowds, and the Tower, for example, didn't have fast pass lanes open. The bridge was closed. But that was because we were there when everything was happening...our mistake. We bought a 3 day pass (no travel) and paid less than $100 for them, so we got a fair deal. There's a site to tell you the top 12 you must do to make it a value...that's the way to go. We did at least 2 a day from that list.

my trip to london was s pecial as i went to police museum to give them my grandfather police stuff disppointed that the museum was closed . hotel was 3 miles away on the city rd travel lodge was basic but clean food was ok better. we set of on 76 bus which we were glad of bus passess driver was helpful . we went to westminster bridge where we discovered a little cafe nero which i would go to they serve a wonderful soya hot chocalate i was dispointed that we were not able to use the london passess which was alot of money only on the thames could we use them . sealife centre was brilliant and london eye i thought the price of photos were very dear. convent garden was good found a nice eating place had vouchers which we discovered were out of date which we were not told london was great plenty of places to see and photos very sore feet i would remend hotels in heart of london . my friend and i were aching carrying our over night bags with us . wear flat shoes and carry foot cream
Doing what: London Pass
Pretty good value for money but it takes excellent organisation of your time and sticking to the schedule to make it worth while. We had a two day pass and spend a whole day in London Zoo (probably shouldnt have spent so long there but oh well). The second day we spend around 3 hours in the Tower of London. We then saw the Tower bridge exhibition, London Bridge Experience, and London Tombs. We also used the Hop on hop off boat tour thing to get back to Greenwhich which was really good. So we did end up getting our moneys worth but barely. London bridge experience was pretty awful, London tombs were good but quite clearly only meant to scare you and not really give you any history so again, silly tourist grabbing attraction. The tower bridge exhibition is an alright 40 minute quick thing to get across the river. Might aswell, why not? But only one walkway was open so only got views to the east and not the City. Tower of London and Zoo by far the best two. Oh and the boat was pretty good for getting round and the guide was a classic ole cockney man. Didnt have to que anywhere and did get fast track but that could be the timing that we got lucky with. Oh and check the times of the attractions! Most have last entry at like 5pm. Reasono we missed the London bridge experience the first day was because we thought as a scary thing itd be much later than this. Overall not bad but.... Depends what you want to see and how organised you can be.
Doing what: London Pass
Disappointed as thought a Hop on Hop off bus pass was included.Needed to pay another £22 Per day per person. This pass was not valid for Buckingham Palace, London Eye , Houses of Parliment, or London Dungeon. The
places we were able to use pass were Tower of London, Tower Bridge and St Pauls Cathedral. Would not recommend this pass.

The London eye is pretty good for getting a birds eye view of London. Don't get scared if you see a long line, it moves very quickly. I can't say much for the river cruise as we took it from Waterloo to Tower Bridge, but the tour guide was knowledgeable and very funny.

Oklahoma Forbids its Cities From Passing Their Own Minimum Wage Increases
Oklahoma is very much not interested in this whole raising-the-minimum wage thing, a stance made extra clear as the state enacted a law yesterday forbidding any of its local governments from passing their own individual minimum-wage hikes. So don't even think about it, people of Zeb. From the AP:
Those against the bill also say it specifically targets Oklahoma City, where an initiative is underway to establish a citywide minimum wage higher than the current federal minimum wage. Organizers have been gathering signatures to support raising the city's minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.

Clearly new world, there were gobs of red fruit on the palate, but this has a pleasing mid-weight texture and enough acidity to balance itself out. Shows a bit of spice on a short to medium finish. Overall just a fun wine to drink.Post a Comment / View Robert Pavlovich's profile

Should You Split Test Your Pricing Strategy?
To give you an idea of how powerfully pricing can influence consumer behavior, consider the results of a recent study done by three management professors at Yale. The study gave subjects $1 with which they could either buy one of two packs of gum or keep their money and buy neither. When the researchers priced both packs of gum equally at 63 cents, only 46 percent of subjects made a purchase. By contrast, when they priced the packs of gum at 62 cents and 64 cents respectively, 77 percent of subjects made a purchase.
Clearly, even the slightest variation in price can have a profound impact on sales, which is why more and more companies are trying to take the guesswork out of pricing strategy by split or A/B testing price. Split testing can give businesses insight into what to charge and how to display price by revealing how actual customers respond to different pricing scenarios.
However, the marketing industry remains vehemently divided on the wisdom of split testing price. Some say value-based pricing is impossible without it, while others believe it does more harm than good. Below, we explore the arguments of both sides on the issue. (more…)

What you would expect for a short notice booking in central London for a bank holiday weekend
Faults: kettle did not work, blood stain on one quilt cover, shaver point did not work.
However all faults were fixed promptly when we complained. The room was very cramped but every thing else worked adequately. Shower and telly OK. In fairness the hotel seem to have been renovated everywhere upto the 3 rd floor where we were staying.

Absolutely disgusted
Very poor value for money and definitely not described accurately- book at your peril!!!!!!!
We arrived to be told check in was after 2pm.
There is parking outside on the road but the guests have to pay for parking which is only valid for up to 4 hours and then the car has to move. No mention of that at time of booking. Photo ID required to check in, which was not mentioned at time of booking, luckily they accepted drivers license photo card. When we did get our room there were 5 single beds all with various mattress sizes. The decor was something out of the eighties. Beds were placed under a fireplace mantel so my daughter kept banging her head everytime she sat up. There were deep holes in the floor that had been covered up by the beds. An uncovered strip light was the only main lighting for the room. Spotlights were hanging out of their sockets. The en suite shower room stunk of faeces and the ceiling had mould/mildew stains on it. No complimentary wash items. No milk to make yourself a cup of tea. Chipped mugs and glass tops for bedside cabinets, totally unsafe for our toddling one year old who nearly pulled the units on top of herself. Cot provided was so small that she could barely move/turn over in it. No cot bedding provided. Breakfast room was jam packed with tables that made it ridiculous for guests to move about to get their own breakfast. No highchair offered for the baby to eat at so she had to sit on my wife's lap to eat her breakfast. There was absolutely nothing executive about this room, a hostel would be an upgrade compared to this. The pictures on your website do not show the rooms at their true quality. A review back in sept 2012 says exactly the same complaints we had, 2 years on this hotel clearly has not refurbished or made any improvements since then. Really wish we had booked somewhere else. Ruined our stay and meant we had to stay out late with our young children (ages 1, 3 and 6)every night in order for them to just crash and sleep as soon as they got in the room and also avoid £2.60 per hour parking charges. Would highly recommend to afford this place at all costs. A complete rip off at £265 per night for facilities that are worse than a hostel and clearly not for a family with young children.

A great hotel for a budget stay
The Dolphin Hotel was clean, close to Paddington and able to offer a family room wth five beds.
The room was clean, had a small ensuite bathroom with toilet and shower and a television. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was nice. It is basic, but we were all happy.

Slow, indifferent, inefficient.
Student Hostel!
The standard is this hotel is dreadful!!.
2'6 inch beds!. Yes, child size. Lucky enough to get an en suite...Toilet seat too small for pan... Shower hook falls off wall....Hot water dangerously hot. Curatins hanging off rail...valence sheets dragging on laminate floor (I tripped and hit head on wall!).... hole in laminate floor.......one bed positioned under the fireplace mantel!!. Hmmmm Risk assessment clearly not in place here. Went down to breakfast (8.15 - 9.15) all seats taken by students so couldn't get in.... £530.00 for 2 nights accomm!!!. Arrived at 13.00 as paperwork said... Told that receptionist was at lunch we could leave cases and check in at 2pm... Then told arrival time is not check in time!. I was staying in Paddington as my partner was having a big op at St Marys hospital..At an already very distressing time to be face with theses unnecessary issues in just not acceptable. late rooms need to be vetting these properties that they are advertising!!.

This publication explores Picasso's portrayals of life with Françoise Gilot and their young family in the decade they spent together. Gilot was a young budding painter when she met Picasso by chance at a café in 1943. The subsequent years spent together was a time of transformation in Picasso's paintings that coincided with revolutionary inventions in lithography, sculpture, and ceramics. This volume presents for the first time several of Gilot's paintings and drawings from the period alongside Picasso's.
