Hotel je vo väčšej vzdialenosti od centra - po konečnej zastávke RER je potrebné využiť ešte BUS - táto informácia - hlavne konkrétnejší popis cesty, mi pri objednávke chýbala. Inak OK

"Did not like it."
We booked this hotel because if mention that has a shuttle from the airport, but they did not mention that it stops at 7 pm so if your flight arrive late make other arrangements to get to the hotel. They give us a room with a disable bathroom, which we do not need or request, and water mess on the bathroom floor was a pain, they also put soap on the […] bathroom but NO other toiletries.

"Fantastic for children"
We have stayed in a few of the hotels near Disneyland Paris, and the Explorers is definitely the children's favourite! Great pool area with 3 slides, big indoor soft play area as well as outdoor play area and lovely surroundings. The rooms are basic, but perfectly ok for a few nights. Flat screen TV with CBeebies and all very clean. Breakfast is like […] feeding time at the zoo, but again, that is to be expected at such a hotel. The pizzas are perfectly ok for a quick meal in the evening too. Thumbs up all round from our primary aged children, who were reluctant to leave the hotel! We will definitely stay again. Good service too. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
Good service the rooms were nice and clean, very nice food at marcos pizza place allthough the tables were falling apart. Poligt and helpful staff everywhere. The location is perfect for disneyland.

"Nice cottage in Loire valley"
Comfortable and practical cottage in Amboise. We have been there- family with 3kids - quiet and good location - but not each navigator will find it. Equipped kitchen, but we missed shelfs in room cupboards. The apartment wasn't cleaned each day, even garbage not taken. No playground for little children.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com

"Dont expect luxury - Fits the purpose"
Pros Location - you arrive at the station (which incidentally is next to the park) and a free shuttle bus No 54 Takes you straight to the hotel, which is the first stop Pool - your own fantastic mini waterpark, which was very popular with the kids. Breakfast - great coffee and plenty of other continental breakfast items Free Shuttle bus - takes you […] to the park, every 15 minutes. Can get full Cons Expensive food- evening meals are expensive at euro 12 for a pizza, euro 7 for a pint of beer and euro 25 for the buffet No luxuries - no toiletries, no slippers, no bottle water - just very basic Don't expect a holiday resort type hotel expect a travelodge and you'll be fine. The fun is at Disney and the hotel has just one purpose and thats to offer a place to sleep at night Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka spoločnosti Expedia
We stayed for 4 nights. Almost nothing else available. the cost was the same as many 5 star hotels I stay at but I would rate this at 2.5. Nearly 1000 Euro for 4 nights stay is very high. Booked through Expedia. Staff were nice but for that price I would expect a MUCH better place. Grounds not cared for, cheap tables and chairs and the place needs an […] overhaul.

What a terrible first impression of France. Check took over an hour with an exceptionally rude receptionist. Our group of two families were left sat in reception upset and tired for an hour and a half after arrival. Hotel facilities were perfect for our large party. Kids loved the pool and breakfast was perfectly adequate. Location and free shuttle […] buses were ideal. Much cheaper and no less inconvenient than the Disney hotels we have stated in before.

Nice location for Disneyland resort with the usual shuttle bus service to the Disney parks. Only gripe is that the bus is shared with other neighbouring hotels and sometimes gets quite full. The town of Magny le Hongre has a few small shops and takeaways which were really handy as the food at the hotel was poor and very expensive. The Val d' Europe […] complex is also a short 10 min drive away and houses lots if fine restaurants for a fraction of the price at the hotel. You do need a car to get around though or else you're stuck with the hotel offerings. The hotel itself is well served with amenities that will keep the kids and the whole family entertained. There is a lovely pool which is open till late as well as indoor and outdoor play areas. All in all a very good hotel to have as a base for the Disney parks but it helps to have a car to explore neighbouring areas. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com

"A fun hotel for children."
We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the pool, room, and play area outside. We were shocked to pay 4 Euros for the pool table, with damaged tables and cues...

"Fantastic family hotel, perfect for the kids"
We had an amazing stay at Explorers Hotel whilst visiting Disneyland. The hotel was clean and comfortable which was exactly what we needed after a long day at the park! The hotels swimming pool was fantastic and kept my nephew entertained for hours, the only down side, is that men/boys have to wear speedos in the pool, you can purchase these at the […] hotel however for a larger man, i feel this could cause embarrassment and i'm not sure why this is necessary? I highly recommend Marcos Pizzas reasonable priced and very tasty! Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka spoločnosti Expedia
"This hotel is not value for money."
Room smelt of damp and was not inviting at all.No remote control for the television. Reception could not provide us with one as technician was not in and we would have to wait till the morning. The 3 star rating is extremely generous as I would rate it 1 - 2.We asked if we could go to the parks early as we were staying at a Disney hotel. We were advised […] that we could not as the Explorer was not a disney hotel. I was again not happy about this as there is the Disney bus that takes us to and from the parks and also any purchases made at Disney the assistants will send them to a Disney hotel. So we could not benefit from a perk that should have been advised to us on the outset. The Explorer Hotel have a swimming pool. My son was refused entry as his swimming shorts were not the correct type for swimming. The Hotel require that all boys wear "Speedos". In order for him to go into the pool he had to purchase a pair of Speedos for 9 euros. Reception took great delight in showing me the laminated notification that this was their policy and that I could not do anything about it. This was supposed to be a special day for my son however, he was really upset and turned the day into a really bad experience for him. In addition to this the assistant further refused him entry without the use of the hotel's swimming towel and not his own. For the priviledge we were charged 2 euros each. Charged 3 euros for 1/2 hr mobile charging as no electric sockets in the room. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka spoločnosti Expedia
"Good for children"
My wife and I stayed at explorers it's a good hotel if you have children with you we didnt so those benefits were lost on us it has a nice pool and play area both in the dining area area and outside in the extensive grounds. The one proviso with the pool is that boys and men must wear speedos in the pool swim shirts are banned. They will sell you speedos […] if you want to buy them. We booked a twin room and was ushered into a double which really was a glorified large single the bed was tiny and no way a real double bed . I complained and was given an alternative Family room which consisted of one tiny double and two singles the room was clean but spartan. The beds were the most uncomfortable that my wife and I have ever experienced like pure slabs of concrete covered by a sheet. No give at all and made sleep very difficult and uncomfortable. Breakfast was awful. Mostly cubes of cheese and slices of ham with a selection of cereals and some tinned fruit. Teas and coffees out of a machine . There is a Disney owned shop which seems to be closed most of the time and the bar closes early so when you get back from the park you can't get a drink. The cafe only sells pizza and chips and is very expensive. The upside is the good bus service into the park and explorers is the first stop if the four hotels which is good. Its a three star hotel and feels like it. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka spoločnosti Expedia
"Hotel close to disneyland paris"
The staff were very good. Breakfast was always a busy time at the restaurant, but the staff were calm, smiling and very pleasant. This made the queing a lot less unbearable! We had dinner one evening in the plantation restaurant - buffet, 23 euros per person.Gor an extra 3 euros one could have a barbecue in addition to the standard buffet. The buffet […] was great with a decent range of meat, fish,vegetable dishes and sweets. The veal and white fish dishes in particular were excellent. The barbecue however was a complete waste of money. It may have been a better idea for us to pay for the barbecue for one and share it among the 4 of us rather than pay for 4 barbecue platters. One of my main issues was with the towels! if you are going to have white towels, then you have to make sure they are clean. There were many black marks on several (apparently clean) towels. If I have to stay there again, I will definitely take my own towels. The proximity to DLP is great and the free shuttles very frequent.

"Would not recommend"
I thought the hotel was dated and tired looking, shower leaked, the cleaners only cleaned what they could see and didn't lift things to clean underneath, on the hallway there was either blood or ketchup on the walls, and stayed for the 4 days we were there. The shuttle service is shared with the Kyriad, the first that came to us only 6 people got on.

"More good points than bad!"
Stayed here with my family of five - three children aged 3, 5 and 15 in a crew room for three nights. Good points: near DLP, rooms are a good size, good buffet breakfast, swimming pool excellent. Bad points - rooms and particularly bathrooms were not very clean - and could have done with a thorough scrub and not just a quick polish in between guests […] leaving and arriving. My husband thought the pillows were poor too. However, I would rate the hotel 6.5 or 7 out of ten. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"Hotel in need of TLC"
We spent one night here and were glad it wasn't longer. The hotel itself is in need of a major overhaul. Its very tired looking and not up to standard.

"Obviously a budget hotel"
The main reception and communal areas of the hotel have been fairly recently renovated, but the rooms are looking tired and shabby. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived at 5pm. We had to ask for extra pillows (not even having enough in our room for one each) and the kettle didn't work. In our entire stay, we were never given enough cups for the number […] of people in the room. The bathroom was poorly designed and flooded every time someone had a shower. Breakfast is incredibly busy so be prepared to queue. The food is ok, continental style and plenty of it. The kids loved the soft play area, although the less said about the cleanliness in there, the better. We didn't use the pool on this trip, but there are signs up in the hotel that say swimming shorts are banned for hygiene reasons. Overall, this hotel is adequate. We stayed here to avoid the high prices of the Disney hotels, and I guess you get what you pay for. Having said that, the kids loved it, and we had a great time.

The only criticism is the slowness and laissefaire of the catering staff. For example, waiting in queues at the hotel for lengths of time at the pizza section.

"Hotel worker enters the room while we were asleep!"
before booking I read many reviews about this hotel but I thought I can live with, of coarse the promise of a free internet wifi connection means there is either no signal or a very weak one, which means no page to be open and when I called to ask, the man at the desk said we dont have the capacity for all guests But the best part was when I was sleeping […] at night with my children and a hotel worker opened the door from the next room at 10:30 pm, after I shouted to close the door and calmed down I called the desk to file a complaint to the manager , the person promised to tell the manager, from the early morning I went to check and guess what?! NO one knows about such a serious matter!, so I filed another complaint, and the manager (as she was introduced) said I will take care of the matter and I will be here for the next 3 days....and never saw her again, and never heard from her. the swimming pool has too much chlorine in it, I was just sitting watchning my children and my eyes hurt Unfortunately, the hotel's location is very good, it could be a very good one in all aspects, but they dont care about their reputation Brakefast is not too bad, but after 9 it will be very busy Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka spoločnosti Expedia

Jamie L. Thorne, 22, who spent 125 days in jail earlier this year for violating protection orders, was locked up again Saturday because she was in the same dwelling with her daughters, ages 20 months and 13 months, according to Watertown police.
Mrs. Thorne was arrested shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday on a felony criminal contempt charge and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. She was being detained in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building to await arraignment Monday in City Court.
Meanwhile, her husband, Brian M. Thorne, 25, who held protection orders that prompted her arrest in January and again in March, tried to hide her Saturday morning in their apartment at 1620 Huntington St., police said. He was charged with obstructing governmental administration, and was released to await his arraignment.
Mrs. Thorne was sentenced June 4 in Jefferson County Court to time served and five years probation after she pleaded guilty to first- and second-degree counts of criminal contempt for two incidents. In January, she punched her husband in the face, and in March she made threatening phone calls to him.
An order of protection issued in County Court ordered her to stay away from her children, but city police received information that prompted a patrol to go to Mr. Thornes apartment to check on the welfare of the children. The girls birth dates are listed as Jan. 1, 2010, and June 22, 2011.
Mr. Thorne tried to stop officers from entering the apartment while helping his wife to hide, police said. He was arrested first, then she was taken into custody about three minutes later, according to police reports.

Last night I picked up the rudder post from the fabricator. I've decided to make the rudder able to be dropped 4'' so that if I have any trouble with the notorious sharpie rudder, at least I can put it down a bit when there's some water under me. As designed, it is where it should correctly be, with its underside level with the lowest point of the hull. That's pretty shallow, and an extra four inches might come in handy.
I have always assumed that I will insert the rudder after launching from the trailer. When I got the rudderpost home last night, it dawned on me that (especially with the extra 4 inches of length) it was quite long, and I'd have to get into fairly deep water to be able to insert the post upwards from under the hull. I'd say I would need close on a metre of water under the hull. That's a lot to wade out into.
So I've tried sketching the boat on a trailer in photoshop, and taking it through a launch sequence to see if I can leave the rudder permanently in place (though still easily removeable if I wish to work on it). This would be a wonderful bonus. It looks to me that having a boat with such a long stern overhang beyond the aft trailer roller will work to my advantage. The positioning of the bow eye bolt is partly dependent upon the stem thickness, and where I've shown it will help keep the stern out of the water as well. I'm interested in people's thoughts about whether things are likely to work as I've sketched, understanding that these are rough sketches. it looks like I should be well clear of problems of the rudder grounding during a trailer launch. I always launch from a ramp by the way.

The Christmas of the little red sewing machine
Although I did not realize it at the time, the Christmas of the little red sewing machine was one of great struggle for my parents. My mother was grieving the loss of her father earlier that year, and the loss of a baby to miscarriage that September. The company for which my father worked had closed down, so for a time my dad was left without a job. Although these things happened, my brother and I were unaware of the true state of affairs.
My parents were always good savers, so they used the money set aside to take care of our family until Dad found another job. Although my parents didn't use a lot of money for Christmas that year, they made sure we had a memorable one. My mom usually makes several traditional Irish Christmas puddings each year, but that year Mom made only one, and it was much smaller than usual. Dad brought home a smaller Christmas tree, and we decorated it with just a few of the decorations we always used, such as the little feathered birds that I loved to clip on the ends of the tree branches.
The real change took place starting on Christmas Eve. Before that night, on Christmas Eve, we had always been allowed to choose a single present to open just before we went to bed, but instead of a present, for each of us there was a new pair of soft flannel pajamas on our pillow, and new slippers on the floor next to our beds. I remember being excited about the appearance of the pajamas and slippers because we had never done this before. After we dressed in our new pajamas, we said our prayers, and Mom tucked us into bed.
In the morning there were no presents under the tree, instead there was to be a "Present Hunt". We searched around the house as Mom and Dad gave us clues to lead us to a present, telling us whether we were getting "warmer" or "colder", as we searched for the gifts. I remember the sounds of a lot of laughter and silliness during the search.
Two presents were given to me on that Christmas day. One present was a little box of lace handkerchiefs, embroidered in bright red and green, the other was my little red sewing machine. There was no pretty paper around them, no ribbons or bows to untie, just these small special gifts as they were. I still remember exactly where I found the sewing machine. It was tucked behind the tall white door which led into our living room. I was so excited when I found it that I held it in the air and danced around with it. It's funny the things you remember about such times. If I close my eyes now I can exactly recollect the bright red colour and the coolness of the metal of that little machine, as though it was right here in front of me. I remember the delicate sheerness of those handkerchiefs, as I draped one over my hand; they seemed so fragile that I was afraid to damage them.
My mom prefers not to think about that Christmas; it is difficult for her to recollect the struggles of that year, and the fear of uncertainty, and associate it with any feelings of happiness. For me, good memories of that Christmas remain, because the greatest gifts I received on that day were the feelings of joy, comfort and security that my parents imparted to us. Those feelings were better than any gift money can buy. Even though my brother and I were quite young, somehow we understood how much it meant to our parents for us to be happy on that day, and we were, we truly were.

What truly precious memories of your family you have to savor, Jennifer! I just love how you capture the broad spectrum of senses and emotions, the disparate elements of the circumstances behind the story, and blend them together to achieve a melancholy yet fulfilling theme. How true it is that the real gift for the parents is to see that their children are happy on that day.
ReplyDeleteDelightful story. I feel as though I. Was right there with you hunting for your gifts. You were truly blessed to have such caring parents who cared so very much about their children 's happiness. I'm sure it was no small feat for them to make for.such a wonderful day in the midst of their own trials.
ReplyDeleteWe understand so little about adulthood when we are children - and that's a very good thing. Otherwise, your parents could not have provided the sense of security and comfort you felt that Christmas of the red sewing machine. Isn't it amazing how much we remember sometimes? Do you still have the sewing machine?
ReplyDeleteHello Lisa, and Greta, and Nancy,
Thank you so much for your comments; I really appreciate receiving them.
It is so true, as you say Nancy, that 'being in the dark' as children is a very good thing. I always find myself very dismayed to see young children in the shops at this time of year who seem stressed or sad because they are all too aware of the state of things. Unfortunately, I no longer have the little red sewing machine.
Cheers to each one of you, and a very Happy Christmas to you,

Super win is one triumph brothers can't share
Published: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 7:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 7:35 p.m.
This time the brothers Harbaugh will not have something to share. They won't be able to sit on a sofa and burn through a beer or two in reflective and animated conversation. This time they will have to live apart, forever, never to be together. John Harbaugh will have to stand alone, at the summit of his sport, without his brother Jim, and it was clear Monday this will be a necessity.
"I don't think there will ever be a time," said Baltimore's coach, "we'll watch the game (video) together. Absolutely not."
That statement carries much weight. NFL coaches live in film rooms. Replaying over and over the same play. Slowing it down. Speeding it up. Pausing it at critical junctures. Screaming at the damn projector. The film room is their coaching box. It is the place where they begin to do business. It is as close to a fixed address that nomad coaches have, where family and friends and other coaches can find them.
So it was a deep loss John Harbaugh felt Monday. He'll never be able to share that intimacy with his brother. He knows their competitive nature prohibits it. He knows it would be cruel to ask, "Hey, Jim, come on over and let's see the game together." That would be like twisting the knife. Sure, brothers tease and torment each other all the time — when they are kids on a play ground.
As 50-year old adults, however, the knife is sheathed. Too much real pain already has left its mark, real or imagined.
So not in his wildest, meanest moment could John imagine raising his voice in excitement and say to his brother, "Jim, remember this? Boy, I didn't see this coming!" when the Ravens' Jacoby Jones ran back that kickoff 108 yards to start the third quarter.
Sharing film is male bonding to NFL coaches. It's how they figure out one another. How they determine if this guy remains on my staff or not. Away from the cameras with prying eyes, they can be open, honest, relaxed and entirely opinionated without fear of embarrassment. The person the Ravens' coach would most like to share that with, he can't.
John Harbaugh knew it the moment after the game when he walked across the field to shake his brother's hand.
"I felt incredible elation and incredible devastation," he said. "I'm still feeling it."
In speaking of this dichotomy, John Harbaugh didn't need to wonder if his brother felt the same way. Jim Harbaugh didn't address it Sunday night but how could he not have been experiencing the same feeling? Incredible elation for his brother and incredible devastation as well. I'm happy for you, bro, but I've never been more depressed. Wrap your mind around that one.
We have heard the term "bragging rights" so much in sports it's a cliche. "The Raiders beat the 49ers for bragging rights in the Bay Area ... the Giants beat the A's for bragging rights in the Bay Area." Say it enough and whatever emotional clout the term initially represented is lost.
John Harbaugh feels no bragging rights over Jim Harbaugh. They aren't 10 years old anymore. While he spent his Monday press conference thanking his players and Ravens fans, Harbaugh left the impression that everything he said was accompanied by his brother sitting by his shoulder.
"We said once that the only thing worse (than facing each other) was that one of us wouldn't be in the Super Bowl," Harbaugh said. "And then we said the only thing worse than that would be that neither of us would be in the Super Bowl."
The brothers Harbaugh, bound by competition. Sounds clean, nice and tidy, when phrased like that. But that was said before they played the game. Before things became very unclear, and not very tidy. When the 49ers committed penalties, had to burn timeouts too early, when they missed tackles, watched the game pause for 34 minutes when the lights went out, then only to be stopped five yards away from taking the lead in the final minutes of the Super Bowl.
This will be one of the most replayed Super Bowls in history because there'll be so much to replay. At the core of it were the Harbaugh brothers and the Harbaugh parents with John providing an image of his parents that only increased his angst. "They had it (emotion) stuck right up here," said Harbaugh, putting his right hand around his throat.
All during Super Bowl week much was made of brothers coaching against each other in the Super Bowl for the first time. John and Jim didn't fan the idea that much. They didn't talk to each other. They stayed away from each other, letting parents Jack and Jackie ride point on this. It almost became a non-story. Then Sunday happened and what was once mere talk became reality.
"People say there are losers in the Super Bowl," Harbaugh said, "and that's just not right. This game will be on NFL Films for years to come. Jim is one of the great coaches in the NFL."
That's correct of course, but history does not care about such nuance. The 49ers lost. Jim Harbaugh lost. The 49ers are now like other playoff teams that finished the 2012 season with a defeat. To Jim Harbaugh, that doesn't feel memorable because it always has been about the bottom line for him.
John Harbaugh knows that. He knows but for the grace of God and those five yards, his brother could have been at the podium Monday, probably saying the very same things.
To the victor goes the spoils. Right now John Harbaugh wonders if and when he'll be able to tell his brother about those spoils. Worse still, if the conversation ever gets that far, how will he tell Jim?

So I made an appointment for a physical exam because I haven't been to a doctor in more than 5 years, and I had a bunch of accumulated worries.
I went in for my physical exam, knowing that it would be covered by my insurance, and when the doctor asked me about any issues I was having, and I recited my list: funny mole, can't digest gluten, some asthma, etc. So he said we should go over the list and do the rest of the physical at a later date. I agreed.
Doh! That was a $329 mistake! He re-coded the visit as "office medical" on the spot on instead of the physical exam I signed up for. So now the insurance won't cover it.
Screwed again, partly by my own stupidity for not picking up on the billing code change right away.
I will never visit any doctor again, ever, unless they tell me exactly and in advance what everything will cost. It would be much more pleasant to be dead than to get another surprise bill.

Recognizing Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) tend to have their first symptoms between the ages of 20 and 40. Usually the symptoms get better, but then come back. Some may come and go, while others linger.
The unpredictable course of MS can make it hard to get a diagnosis quickly. Keep track of your symptoms to help your doctor know whether MS or another condition is to blame.

Advice and help for players making a new clan.
Miss_Reaper89 Jan 3, 2013 8:23 AMHi guys its Miss_Reaper89 again AKA Vicki,
Im writing a few tips and guides on making a clan, keeping a clan and growing as a clan.
Everyone has an idea on what they want from a clan. Make sure you keep that in mind at all times to avoid straying and it becoming something even you dont want to be involved in! You need to go into it with some flexibilty however. Understand that everyone has their own idea's and wants them to be valued in a clan, so you may have a member who has some pretty good idea's on how to progress but it isn't what you want for your clan then state that.
You'll need a name that catches members, is memorable when you have an astounding game against others and makes sense!Try and base it on your idea of what your clan will be like, or incorporate an army-like name to give the impression that your clan with be militant. (However militant clans, as good as they are, will be very hard on you and expect the best, this can make it a rare occurance that they get members, but when they do, they're usually very good). My clans name holds the location that we require memberships from, a word describing our gameplay and then a militant word like battallion/company/squadron etc. Some good idea's to make it sound professional can come from war films, history, or books.
You'll find a lot of clans have either their location or a phrase that can be taken to be offensive or challenging.
Setting up on Elite
So you have to go through Elite to make your clan. It's not difficult to find how to do, I'm pretty sure it's an option on your clan HQ. Create your name and your away. You may wish to link your Elite to Youtube account so you can upload any video's too.
Applying for members
Use the forums, thats the best advice i can give. Use them Daily if possible and stay online to check in for responses. I use this one and the clan recruitment hub on MW3 (even though most people advertising on there are for BO2). I've found the best type of advert has a brief and direct title. For example; ''Clan name'', ''platform'', ''game'', and a short description like 'be involved from the start as we're fairly new' or my favourite 'close-knit'.
In the main part of the discussion/ad, you should repeat the vital information from the title and highlight some other key aspects depending on what you find works. 'Online now' allows players to know that if they apply now, they should get a quick response.
'Accepting anyone' allows players to know that their k/d ratio isn't going to affect them being accepted. This attracts a lot of people, but there can be complications with opening your clan to anyone and everyone. Each member you accept is now representing your clan, and in turn yourself.
'Level ??' stating your level can be advantagous, especially if it's high. Players are particularly attracted to Gold Clan Tags, which is simply a level 10 clan unlock.
I've had members apply because; they wanted to be one of the first in clan, they wanted to help, they were looking for night-time players, they wanted a different type of gameplay, because their mate joined and because they wanted a clan in a certain location.
As a leader you should be gaining knowledge into Black Ops 2 or whatever COD game you intend to specialize into.
You can do this by frequently visiting the news, forums and video's on Elite. Research is essential for you clan to progress. You need to be catering to your member's needs by researching things they have sparked an interest in. Informing them of anything and directing them elsewhere if you cannot help yourself.
Most clans have their own private web page. This can be free if you are not paying for a domain. Paying for a domain would give you the privilege to name the web site exclusively to you and allow to have more control on what the site looks like. However, you can obtain a webpage through other sites for free. Simply type into a search engine for free websites.
Once you set a website up, you need to manage it well. Try appointing some-one from your clan to regularly check in too and in one swift move you've also added the point of promotions into your clan.
You should keep all your information backed up, in particular your members and their clan tags. Although you can find these on Elite, it's handy to keep a record.
In other aspects, you should try and fill your website with everything your clan will need, from tutorials, forums to a standard expectations/rules page. Don't expect your clan members to feel comfortable sharing their personal information including their name sometimes unless you have some kind of protection for them on the website.
Now you've got members...what next?
By researching, you should have an idea of how to enlist into clan operations, challenges and league play.
Use all of the game modes and custom game rules to your advantage. A lot of clans have Clan Nights where all members are expected to join in play on one particular night.
Keep in touch with every member, ideally they will become a good friend.
Ask for help! If you need feedback from someone, just ask! There's no shame in wanting to improve your plans and idea's.
Maintenance and abandoning your clan.
To maintain your clan should be easier as you grow, other members will want to do things and be involved. As long as your happy with their idea's, you'll be okay. Always be forward about what your ok with and what your not.
Many people start off a clan and abandon it within a week or month. Before dropping it entirely, think of putting it up for new management. You can advertise that you wish to stop leading a clan and if you have members, offer the position to them instead or see if anyone wants to take it over from a forum. Many clan leaders will take the members off and onto their own, stripping it right back and deleting it. Of course if you have no members, the concept of putting it up for adoption is pointless. However there may be some members of existing clans that desire the recognition and accomplishment of leading their own clan and will take yours on.
Some clans have extra unique qualities.
Each member is unique and in the right team will announce their skills and allow others to request something from them. Different roles in the clan could be; Graphics Artist, Admin, Team Leaders, Managing Director, Co-Leader, Intelligence, Research, Marketing, Media etc. Obviously these are rather executive titles, but they help members feel important. And their role is exactly that. You could have one concentrating on emblems, one for website, one arranging matches and games, one liasoning with the rest of the clan and handling any problems, a co-leader, members coming up with idea's and classes to work at their advantage, research team to update the clan with news, marketing for advertising and recruitment and media for members to upload video's to youtube or their website.
The possibility's are endless!
Thanks for reading guys, hope i've helped

Alan Paton's novel exploded on the English reading public in 1948. Since then, the society of South Africa has evolved dramatically. Still, Paton's Cry, the Beloved Country remains a classic expression of South Africa and one of the best known stories of that country. The implications of the steadfast appeal of the novel are not only a credit to Paton's ability to capture the human tragedy of the Kumalo family, but also testimony to the unfortunate fact that racial tensions still exist both within and without South Africa.
The story itself is about the land of South Africa and its people as it is expressed in one man's quest to find his son. This mission brings the man, Reverend Stephen Kumalo, to Johannesburg—the great center of the country. Unfortunately, the son, Absalom Kumalo, is found guilty of an awful crime. In the end, the tragedy of Absalom's execution becomes a background for the renewal of the impoverished land. This renewal is made possible by a change in the attitude of a rich white landowner whose son was murdered by Absalom. Alan Paton tells this tale in a simple manner which captures pre-apartheid South Africa in a parable. However, though the tale is one of forgiveness, hope, and learning, there is a feeling of resignation to the misguided policies of what the world would soon know as Apartheid.

Most likely this is a vaso-vagal reaction. Here's what I mean. Often people need to tense their abdominal muscles and strain a bit during a bowel movement. This tends to stimulate the vagus nerve. A stimulated vagus nerve slows the heart rate.
At the same time, when you tense your abdominal muscles, blood flow back to the heart decreases a bit. This results in a lower blood pressure.
The combination of a slower heart rate and lower blood pressure could make you feel lightheaded and weak.
I would expect the symptoms to resolve over a few minutes once you lie down. But the fact that it takes you several hours to feel normal makes me concerned that there may be something else contributing to these "weak spells."
I suggest you make an appointment with your doctor. There's still a good chance that your doctor won't find anything else. The reason for weak spells often cannot be diagnosed. But your doctor will want to consider underlying problems, such as anemia (low red blood cell count) or heart disease.

Peacock Colors
Bright blue bursts of light seem appropriate to decorate this particular galaxy, IC 5052, located in the constellation Pavo, that is, the Peacock. The Hubble Space Telescope took this image to probe into the barred spiral galaxy, which difficult to study because it's facing us edge-on. The European Space Agency describes the image:
Burst of pale blue light are visible across the galaxy's length, partially blocked out by weaving lanes of darker gas and dust. These are pockets of extremely hot newborn stars. The bars present in spirals like IC 5052 are thought to help these formation processes by effectively funneling material from the swirling arms inwards towards these hot stellar nurseries.

Religion & Spirituality
Many of the world's religions have maintained a patriarchal view of creation, human society and gender roles to the detriment of equal rights for women and girls. But faith and feminism are not mutually exclusive as many religious leaders and communities today are finding common ground with social justice agendas, including recognition for women's equality. Increasing numbers of women are entering ministry and rabbinical roles while feminist theorists are influencing theological interpretations and debates across many religious traditions. Nuns, religious and women congregants are also advocating for increased autonomy, responsibility and participation in theological and institutional decision-making.
