Unbeaten is good, but Codling is after more at Rosslyn Park
11:48am Wednesday 2nd October 2013 in Sport
by Pippa Field
Alex Codling wants even more from his Rosslyn Park team despite seeing them extend their unbeaten start to the National One season with victory over Blaydon on Saturday.
Second-half tries from Charles Gower, Dominic Shabbo, Henry Staff and Sam Shires handed the home side a 41-15 victory for a third win from four matches, the 6-6 draw with Henley Hawks the only blot on their copybook so far.
It ends a successful month for Codling's men that sees them sit sixth in the league, five points off leaders Doncaster Knights.
But, while delighted with the results, the head coach, left, is still pushing for more.
"It's very positive to go through the whole of September unbeaten," he said.
"We have had some tough games and had to work hard.
"When we're scoring tries, we're scoring some outstanding ones, but it's just about making more of our opportunities.
"There's definitely more in the group."
It wasn't all plain sailing against Blaydon, with the first half a tight affair, with four Sam Katz penalties edging Park into a 12-5 interval lead.
But, rallied by a half-time tongue-lashing from Codling, Park showed their dominance after the break, with Katz adding a further two penalties and converting three of the four tries that came in the last 30 minutes.
"Obviously, we are delighted to get the bonus point win, it was just disappointing with the way we played the first half," added Codling.
"We lacked accuracy and the intensity at the break down, but the lads knew about it at half time and what I said to them can't be repeated in print.
"We were much improved in the second half and I was pleased with that.
"It's a tough league and we are probably only in second gear at the minute which, on the one hand is frustrating, but on the other hand it shows the massive potential as a team which is exciting.
"We have Old Albanians on Saturday and they are another team that likes to run with ball in hand, so we will have to be prepared for that."

I got Star Fox 64 3D ... again. I bought it originally, sold it for a game, but I bought it again now lol.
$9.99 at Best Buy/Future Shop in Canada. Too hard to pass up for $9.
Oooo. Miiverse on 3DS.
I'm glad they got rid of the limit on system transfers and that they've linked the wallets now from Wii U to 3DS. Makes me happy.
@Pierst179: I still haven't managed to play it yet lol. Hopefully soon, I hear good things all around.
@roboccs: It's good but it's been busy, I still feel like a noob even after being there for almost 2 months now - but everyone is really nice and I know a lot of people from school who work with me so it helps a lot.
@Pierst179: Thanks! It's been a while haha. Yeah I've just been super busy with work, going out, then when I'm home I usually just browse on my phone and fall asleep or play 3DS. lol. How's everything?
It's been a while, but hi.
I've been so busy with work, 8-5 then I usually go out afterwards. That plus doing errands (groceries, ironing, laundry, cooking, etc) tires me out. I've been playing ALBW though, not very far I just got to Lorule. It's good, but I also split the commute between that and reading Way of Kings.
That plus new romance in my life keeps me busy busy. At least this girlfriend isn't expensive like my ex. I save monies.

Canadian Black Friday deals are pretty meh...
Canadian deals anything are usually always crap compared to the US :(.

I would just like to say that my life sucks.
I pre-ordered Zelda, but since my country absolutely sucks when it comes to gaming logistics it will only be sent tomorrow, which is when the store gets their copies.
No human being should be made to wait for more than five days after a Zelda game has been released to play it. It is just torture!
Thanks for listening. =D
That's okay! It's worth waiting for :). I've played about 3 hours worth so far, it's really good. Though I am annoyed that Best Buy never shipped it to me or charged my card ... and now I don't have that pre-order chest, which is going for ~$100 on eBay... $100 would have been nice.

Happy Xbox One day!
Now that the two next gen consoles are finally released we'll see hopefully a good back and forth between them.
I don't know what this Xbox One thing is.
I just read the GameSpot review of A Link Between Worlds. I'm so hyped for it now ... I can't wait. I never ended up finishing LTTP though >_>.
I'm so happy about Miiverse on 3DS. Oh and Super Mario 3D World looks so good. SOOOOOO GOOD.
But I love Iwata.. Please don't go, who will run Nintendo Direct?! Not Reggie...please not Reggie.
@moltenix said:
FS/BB Canada have lost their marbles!
Trade in ANY PS3/360/Wii U/Vita/3DS and get 360/PS3/Wii U Battlefield 4/Cod Ghosts/AC4 free during the weekend. It's gonna be absolute chaos if they go through with this...
I managed to reserve Cod and Ac4 for Wii U but it seems like they've since stopped doing reserves. It's been one big confusion all day.
If I end up getting them for trading in worthless games, great! =P If it doesn't work out, at least I snagged Pikmin 3, W101 and Wii Party U at Target's B2G1 deal today. Yay Wii U support!
Tempted to do this for a copy of COD Ghosts so I can use it for the inevitable deal on Super Mario 3D World... or I might just trade for ACIV but I don't have time to play it.
But... I like sleep. I guess it is good though, you can do so much more in the mornings.
On a side note, I ordered the Nexus 5. I'm going to be poor, but I hate my Galaxy S3.
So waking up early for work has screwed me up for the weekends. I woke up at around 6am today and was wide awake. Ugh.
Miiverse on 3DS will make everyone forget about Swapnote and it'll allow Nintendo to moderate posts, so, no biggie.
lol. I managed to order one at work. I had to try for like 20 minutes but I finally got in. I ordered a green one.
@Pierst179 said:
I live in Brazil, so it is not that common to Street Pass people. I could do it if I went to some events like tourneys, game shows and etc, but I don't, so it is definitely hard.
Oh, I see. That's unfortunate, it's a great feature :(.
@Pierst179 said:@haziqonfire said:
At work I have 2 co-workers with a 3DS, so everyday I get them as a StreetPass tag. I'm making great progress in Find Mii II and getting all the puzzle pieces. Those two games are easily some of my favourite parts of the Mii Plaza ... so addicting.
I have never StreetPassed anyone. =/
I can't believe that. It's so fun. I would StreetPass you now if I could. You have to try it... somehow...

The Shadow SH 965 NFX-B is a professional double bass pickup that provides absolute natural sound with zero hum. The pickup is based on the revolutionary Nanoflex-technology, that makes no compromise in preserving these features. It's built to reproduce the vibrations of your bass authentically with every move of the bow in all positions. No instrument modification was a must in developing this pickup system.
For centuries bass makers worldwide selected the best woods to make, create and build the upright bass as it sounds today. Many hours of trimming the top and the bridge are invested to create the ultimate bass sound.
Nanoflex pickups not only take the vibrations of the strings like common undersaddle pickups. Nanoflex senses the vibrations of the strings and the body of the instrument simultaneously. Due to active amplification directly at the pickup and 100% shielding of the entire system, no sound will be lost and no hum created.

Twi-hards, sit down. Put your feet up. Have a drink handy. No, not because of the 'explosive' claims that are about to be unveiled, but because you're gonna be laughing until you're blue in the face at how outrageous and unbelievable these new so-called reports about Robert Pattinson are that have been making their rounds on the net. According to 'Famous' Magazine out of Australia, not only is Sparklepants hiding a secret girlfriend, but he's also hiding a secret son!
Famous Magazine has cranked out a story based on dribble from "fans" who have concocted this ridiculous tale. The claim is that Pattinson has a secret girlfriend named "Elaina Arora" and they two have had fights via Twitter. Sparklepants doesn't have a Twitter nor is he dumb enough to engage in fights via the social network.
The story goes on to reveal that Rob and his "secret girlfriend" have a son together conveniently named SHAM. He was also "seen out with a mystery brunette in London last year" and that was supposed to be the stranger bitch, Elaina. The mag uses fans' descriptions fuel their report so you can pretty much deduct with the powers of reasoning that there isn't one shred of actual proof. According to these "fans" Pattinson was even seen out with her last year in London and they claimed to have seen an ultrasound picture inside her purse.
Obviously their claims are TOTAL CRAP and this concludes your laugh for the day. Twi-hards, you can still breath easy.

Ask Randall MacDonald about the best party he's ever thrown, and he is momentarily stumped. Was it the 18th-century, Louis XIV bash he hosted for his 40th birthday in 2005, complete with powdered wigs and pantaloons? The 1950s-style soiree featuring Cheez Whiz and Spam-stuffed cocktail buns? Or the dinner party to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, carefully planned down to the very napkins on the table — ordered from the same company that produced the original linens for the Titanic on its fateful voyage?

This voluble debate was enlivened by the theatrical antics of Srikkanth, who felt so irritated at being intensely questioned on this issue, that he lost his cool and used intemperate language, which reflects the complete disarray into which the sport has fallen.
All this happened in the backdrop of a stupendous Indian performance on the field, which saw them scoring a swift, stunning win that should have laid to rest all talk of a divided team, disinterested in on-field activities That it still did not stop questions being raised on the commitment of the players and the administrators goes to show that either the media is too obsessed with creating rifts where none exist, or there is something intrinsically wrong with the way cricket is being run.
Even the elevation of Virat Kohli, an exceptional batting talent, whose explosive century against the Lankans lifted the Indians from the depths of despair, though it was not enough give them one final chance to redeem themselves, is debatable.
No one doubts what Kohli is capable of.
He has been a rare exception in the midst of terrible all-round failures, someone who could very easily fill the void that the likes of Laxman and Dravid would soon create.
But does that mean we reward him with a responsibility which does not sit easily on even mature minds. Here we have a young, brash man, whose conduct needs course correction before he is burdened with hopes of leading the side in future.
Indian cricket in the recent past has played musical chairs with the vice-captaincy slot. First it was Gautam Gambhir who was seen as a potential captain, then for reasons best known to the selectors, Sehwag was resurrected on this tour as Dhoni's deputy and now Kohli is being projected as his heir apparent.
Kohli on this tour has shown his middle-finger to the spectators, has questioned umpiring decisions and is seen as an angry, intemperate young man, not the best qualities you would associate with a leader.
It would have been better had he been left to concentrate on his batting, rather than being saddled with a responsibility which could be an unnecessary burden rather than a boon.
Men with explosive tempers are ill-suited to handle players with giant-sized egos, who would see them as upstarts being pushed up the ladder, like Suresh Raina was on the tour of the West Indies.
Kohli is too precious a talent and needs careful handling himself instead of being asked to take care of others.

In the aftermath of revelations of Jerry Sandusky's predatory child molestations, the NCAA swiftly entered into a stunning agreement in which it extracted a $60 million fine from Penn State, imposed a ban on its football program from bowl games and post-season play for four years, a reduction in scholarships from 25 to 15 per year for four years, vacated all of the team's wins from 1998 to 2011, and put it on a five-year probationary period. News reports are unclear about the exact destination of the $60 million fine, but suggest that an endowment will be established to serve victims of child abuse.

I heard Jenna (old editor) left for a …Read Morenew position a while ago (I'm connected with her on linkedin) and the new editor and rest of the staff were laid off. They just keep the sites up with generic content but they're done actually reporting on Pittsburgh. That's a shame because there used to be a lot of valuable info on these sites, esp. if you live in Moon.

text: So I've been anxiously awaiting for my muscle marinade to show up, I bought the grape juice flavor and it tastes amazing, best flavor of any pwo i've tried. I've only had superpump and black powder from mri before, but this muscle marinade tops them both. It doesn't taste like it's full of sugar like black powder does, and it didn't make me jittery at all. The whole time I was in the gym I was just like "holy ****, when am i going to get tired?" I did my workout that usually takes 65-70 mins in 50 mins and didn't want to leave the gym even though i was done. Anyways, good job Purus I will definitely make this a staple of my supps! One scoop was definitely enough, I just hope I don't have to increase the dose in the future.

On hand to provide a genuine 80's soundtrack for the evening are no less than legendary local 80's rock band The Dawn (original guitarist Teddy Diaz will be there in spirit); batch 88's very own Mikel Chan with his band Rock the Ramp and, finally, British Top-40 sensation Naked Eyes (original keyboardist Rob Fisher, too, will be there in spirit) whose songs will always be something there to remind us of the best years of our lives.
With music that will make you feel like an energetic teenager once again, stay up for the raffle where the grand prize is a sparkling white, 200-horsepower 86 coupé; lights brightly shining 'til the journey's end. We would have preferred to raffle off an 88, but Toyota doesn't make one yet. We're confident none of you will mind the inconsistency though. After all, the 86 still falls within the 80's theme and is guaranteed to make you look at least ten years younger – or closer to the age of your, ahem, date.
But wait – invite your non-Xavier friends and colleagues and for every ten raffle tickets they buy, you'll get one for free, increasing your chances of driving home one of the most desirable cars to ever roll on our streets, or winning any of the valuable minor prizes.
Of course, let's not forget that we have been taught to be men for others and this homecoming's proceeds will directly benefit the Xavier School Educational and Trust Fund; the Father Louis Papilla College Scholarship Fund and the Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation Philippines – a non-profit organization dedicated to make excellent, comprehensive cleft and craniofacial treatment/care accessible to Filipinos – especially the indigents – by establishing sustainable world-class craniofacial centers in the Philippines, operated by a team of empowered Filipino professionals (more information can be found at ncfphil.org).
The Blue and The Gold: #Throwback 80's is presented by Rebisco; Oakwood Premiere Joy-Nostalg Center; Toyota; Standard Appliances; Bambi Cooking Oil; Ferna; HTC; Solaire Resort and Casino; George Optical; The Bead Shop; Federal Land; Everbest Plastic; Spiro Jenkinsen, in cooperation with media partners Business Mirror; InterAksyon and Motioncars.com. This event is also supported by Jollibee.
Social media users can keep abreast of event updates on Facebook (facebook.com/XavierSchool88), Twitter (@guangxi88) or Instagram (Xavier_88). Furthermore, The Blue and The Gold: #Throwback 80's will attempt to be a truly global homecoming, with inbound feed from several cities around the world such as Los Angeles and Toronto shown on our videowall; while outbound live streaming video of the San Juan homecoming will be viewable online to enable our alumni overseas to virtually partake in the festivities.
Tickets are available from the AAXS office (723 0481 local 248 and 727 3329) or through Batch 88 representatives Jason (0917 523 5218) and Allen (0917 823 7377). If you would rather purchase online, log on to www.theblueandthegold.com. If you have already purchased a physical ticket, and would like to speed up entry on the evening itself, you could pre-register by logging on to the same website. You will be sent an e-ticket with a QR code which you can print and present at the gate.
So spread the good news: The Blue and The Gold: #Throwback 80's will rock like The Dawn, roll like an 86 and put the smile back on children's faces as much as it will put a smile on yours. So if you don't have anything planned for November 30, 2013, why not plan on having a great time with former classmates while funding a great cause?
Remember; if for any reason you can't make it just make sure you have a friend who can, preferably one with a valid driver's license – because although your spirit may attend and win, it can't legally drive the 86 home on your behalf.
Then again, not even Xavier's spirit can do that!
Luceat Lux!

Former MTRCB chairperson and incumbent senator, Sen. Grace Poe, discussed her plans and priorities for her 2013 senatorial term. Some priorities on her list were Poverty Alleviation, Opportunities for Children, and the Right of Information Bill.
Under the Aquino administration, she discussed that poverty alleviation is always at top of the list, but she stressed that it will never be an easy feat. In her talk, Poe said that poverty alleviation is a continuous process that will need careful assessments and action plans. Though the results can only be slowly seen, she wants the public to know that the administration is working hard to help our less fortunate countrymen live decent lives.
"The administration must understand the plight of its people in order to legislate properly." The Freedom of Information bill is one example of how the government can respond to the growing needs of its people. Poe highlights that the FOI is currently one of the most controversial bills because it still hasn't been passed even after numerous public demands. She explained that the reason why the said bill was taking too long to be ratified into law was because passing laws into bills require extra care and precision and to achieve that multitude of documents must be consulted and facts considered. She assured the audience that the current administration is doing its best to enact the bill into law as soon as possible. She also said that the enactment of an FOI law is very important because it is part and parcel of the constitutional right of people to information.
Poe also discussed her aim of pushing for more opportunities for our children to live better lives. According to her, public officials must always prioritize and protect the defenseless, foremost of whom are the students. She said that our current education system is still suffering from major anomalies, and that there is still more work to be done in order to deliver the best educational services our country can give to our students. Poe gave the phenomenon of the the mushrooming of schools that give out diplomas for profit as an example. This, she claimed, not only reflects the quality of education we provide, but is also a living testament to how distraught our educational system has become.
She also addressed concerns regarding the country's status in terms of utilizing information technologies. She said that we are growing better as an economy thanks to the help of the private sectors who play a large part in bringing in better information technologies to the country. Still, Poe remarked, the government's priority is poverty alleviation and strengthening of the systems that help the government respond to our less fortunate brothers and sisters. She encouraged everyone to help contribute to public service, especially to the members of the Xavier community who are more privileged.
Poe, together with her fellow panelists, ended the talk with a discussion on what they think our country needed most at present. Opportunities by tapping the global market and innovation are the main points that were given by Poe's fellow panelists; although Poe agreed with the other panelists, she insisted that what the Philippines needed most is to value and invest in its own: one's own country and its people.

This is why Saskatchewan was shrinking in population for years as they moved west to Alberta. It wasn't until Saskatchewan became an energy hotbed that they started gaining people again.
Even Ontario is feeling it.
Ontario cedes centre stage to a thriving West, census shows
By JOE FRIESEN AND JOSH WINGROVE
From Thursday's Globe and Mail
Ontario's rate of growth drops below national average for first time as Manitoba, B.C., Saskatchewan and Alberta post impressive gains that can be used for increased clout
From Manitoba to the Pacific, the 2011 census shows a confident West assuming the mantle of leadership. Alberta tops the country in population growth. British Columbia is right behind. Saskatchewan has reversed a decade of population decline with impressive gains. And Manitoba is growing twice as quickly as it was before.
Ontario, still the largest partner in the federation, has ceded centre stage. Its rate of growth dropped below the national average for the first time in 25 years. It lost 57,000 people to other provinces and received nearly 100,000 fewer immigrants than in the previous census period. It's also home to the only two cities that shrank, beleaguered Windsor and Thunder Bay. The long-term decline of the manufacturing sector is taking a toll.
The census results confirm what many Canadians already instinctively understand. The country is reorienting itself toward the Pacific. Oil, gas, potash and other resources are drawing newcomers. The region's political and economic influence is growing as a result.
Overall, the Canadian population increased by 5.9 per cent since the previous census to 33.5 million, a slight increase from the 5.4 per cent growth between 2001 and 2006.
For the first time, the population of the four Western provinces exceeds that of the four Atlantic provinces plus Quebec. Continuing a long-term trend, Quebec's share of the Canadian population shrank to 23.6 per cent, emphasizing its diminishing influence in the federation. Newfoundland, meanwhile, reversed a 25-year trend by keeping more people at home in 2011.
At the moment, immigration accounts for about two-thirds of Canada's population gains, while the other third is due to natural increase. Another aspect of the West's momentum is that the Prairie provinces have the highest fertility rates in the country. Manitoba and Saskatchewan are close to two births per woman, and Alberta is at 1.9, all much higher than the national average of 1.67. As University of Western Ontario demographer Rod Beaujot put it, births are where the jobs are.
All of Ontario's cities grew more slowly in this census period, with the exception of Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston and Brantford. Meanwhile, the three fastest growing cities in the country are all in the West: Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon.
In Edmonton, that rapid growth has meant urban sprawl and pressure on infrastructure.
Young families flock to the city's multiplying subdivisions, leaving officials scrambling to deliver schools, emergency services and transit. Suburban schools are filled beyond capacity as soon as they open, while inner-city schools are threatened with closing due to low enrolment.
The growth problem extends beyond the suburbs to surrounding towns - the Edmonton region's growth rate of 12.1 per cent outpaced the city's rate of 11.2. The hottest community in the surrounding area is Beaumont, a once-quiet outpost with a strong francophone community. Its population has spiked 48 per cent since 2006, reaching 13,284.
Keith and Andria Despins were looking for a fresh start when Mr. Despins's job at a pulp mill in Manitoba was in doubt. They considered Edmonton. House prices seemed high, but Beaumont, 20 minutes south, had it all: a small-town feel, French immersion, affordable housing and a booming economy.
They moved in 2007 with their two young sons, and Mr. Despins now works in the nearby oilfields.
"We ended up checking it out, and we loved it," Ms. Despins says. "It's definitely changed a lot since we've moved here, but it's great. There's always new families moving into the community, so there's always new people to meet, and there's so many young kids. The town is geared to young kids."
Canada's swelling suburbs have made it the fastest-growing country in the Group of Eight industrialized nations. But the era of rapid expansion will soon end, according to Statistics Canada projections. The tip of the baby boom cohort is hitting 65 this year. For the next 20 years, Canada will age steadily along with the boomers. From 2030 to 2060, the number of deaths will likely approach the number of births. At that point, nearly all population increases will be due to immigration.
The big difference for Ontario over the past five years has been the growth of the provincial nominee program, which it was among the last to join. The program directed tens of thousands of immigrants to other provinces while Ontario's share of immigration declined to about 40 per cent from nearly 60 per cent. Manitoba, which was the first to adopt the PNP, doubled its share of immigration. Saskatchewan nearly tripled its total, according to numbers from Citizenship and Immigration.
The West's growth is a matter of simple economics, said Rob Roach, vice-president of the Canada West Foundation. He cited the case of Saskatchewan, which shrank between 1996 and 2006 before posting strong population growth in 2011 due to higher interprovincial and international migration.
"It's the same geography, same weather. The only factor that's changed is the economy," Mr. Roach said.
Atlantic Canada, where the population is oldest, had small population gains because of immigration. Prince Edward Island's immigration numbers, although still small, increased by seven times, according to data gathered by Citizenship and Immigration. New Brunswick's immigration doubled, and Nova Scotia increased its total by nearly 50 per cent, although how many stayed in each jurisdiction won't be clear until more census data are released later this year.
The first release, on population and dwellings, is based on information gathered from the mandatory short-form census. It is not affected by the government's controversial decision to replace the long-form census with the voluntary National Household Survey.
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

Ivryee Flowers shook his baby daughter so hard on Dec. 7, 2011, she suffered a fatal skull fracture.
Still, in Pierce County Superior Court on Wednesday, he said he never meant to kill her.
This was an accident, the 21-year-old man told Judge James Orlando. I truly loved and still love my daughter.
Orlando wasnt buying.
The judge ignored a recommendation worked out between deputy prosecutor Lori Kooiman and defense attorney Mark Quigley for a 15-year sentence and instead ordered Flowers imprisoned for 18 years.
Theres no degree of remorse that Ive sensed from you that convinces me that you realize the enormity of what youve done, Orlando told Flowers. I think this child needs something more than 15 years in prison.
Minutes before, Flowers pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Leileah Flowers death.
Tacoma police detectives said he was upset because the 8-month-old girl was fussy and interrupting his video-game playing. According to court records, he shook her violently after his attempts to calm her were unsuccessful.
Realizing hed hurt the girl, he called 911, records show, but Leileah later died at a hospital.
Wednesdays proceedings were tense, with supporters of both Flowers and Leileah filing into court.
At one point, Flowers mother was forcibly removed from the courtroom after she got upset when a sheriffs deputy told her to sit down.
Clearly agitated, shed gotten out of her seat and moved to another location while Leileahs maternal grandmother, Jeannie Williamson, was making a victim statement to the court.
I want to be able to see my son, she told the deputy.
She sat down when commanded to do so but cursed at the deputy, who then demanded she leave. The woman pulled out of the deputys grasp when he grabbed her arm to escort her from the room, and several of her friends and relatives also got upset and left their seats.
Court was interrupted for about 10 minutes as deputies restored order. Flowers mother later was booked into jail for investigation of obstructing a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct.
Steve Harrington, Leileahs great uncle, addressed the court once things settled down. Harrington said relatives on Leileahs mothers side of the family had only one question.
Why? Harrington asked Flowers. You had all the support in the world to help you. The memories of this tragedy will last a lifetime.
Flowers then got his chance to address the court.
He apologized to his own family and that of his daughters mother.
I am very sorry for the loss, Flowers said.
Still, he said, he would leave court with my head held high because he did not intend to kill Leileah.
When I come home, Ill do everything I can to make her proud of me, Flowers said.
Orlando appeared flabbergasted at Flowers comments.
Fathers are supposed to protect their children, not hurt them, the judge said.
I dont understand, Mr. Flowers, Orlando said before imposing the 18-year sentence.
Outside court, Williamson said the loss of her granddaughter still hurts.
I talk to her like shes still in the house today, she said. This didnt have to happen. I was only a phone call away.

Smallest room I've ever seen for the same price as 4-5 star. Screwup w Hotels.Com. Denied a room with a confirmed voucher in hand. Rude. Unaccomadating. Implication my fault. Nightmare after 13 hr. flight.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Shocked, unbelievable."
I had the shock of my life when I went into the room that was given to me.How can two gentleman about 6 foot in height ,weighing 200 kilos sleep on a super single bed they called double room, let alone move around in the room (8ft by 8ft ). The room is so cramped up, you hardly can put your luggage and move about. I had to pay HK $70.00 extra per night […] to change to a twin bed room. Very disappointed with the attitude of the counter staffs. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Lander Hotel"
The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from Prince Edward station, in a relatively quiet neighborhood. No restaurants or shops close by (the closest is near the station). I had a single room, very small but clean and nicely designed. The bathroom is extremely small, so showering is a challenge because you can barely move. Bottled distilled water is provided […] in the fridge for HKD 4 each, which is a reasonable price. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Clean Room but Small"
Given the price, overall, it was OK. The room I stayed in was very small, almost no room to place my bags. When you check in, if you prefer a non-smoking room, make sure you ask for it. A non-smoking room is not the default. Staff members were friendly enough.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli

"First time in HK, pleased overall"
We were pleased with the size of the room since it was bigger than we anticipated. Our room was a 3 single beds room and it was quite comfortable.(American travelers, please beware per American standards rooms are very small, but for HK standard on a budget, it was decent) The location wasn't great, but safe...Nothing around it for tourist, but you […] definetly get a feel of the locals daily life. The train station (MTR) was a good 10-15min walk, but fairly easy to find. Ladies Market isn't far by MTR. We had to take a taxi from/to the airport terminal station (Koowlon which is different from the MTR), that was $40HKD. Because it is fairly new hotel some taxi drivers had a hard time find it. The pictures shown are just renderings of what they'd like for it to look, definetely not what the hotel looks like. Overall nice for the price. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli

I got really lucky and they moved me into a larger room!! That was a nice surprise! I enjoyed it so much that I re-booked when I went back to HK. Service wasn't the best ever, but it was really good.

"Solid 3/5 because the price can't be beat"
The staff were friendly enough, but somewhat forgettable. Only the first staff that I spoke with went the extra mile. You can't beat the price. You get what you pay for. The location leaves a bit to be desired but you're only an extra 2 -5 minutes away from where you need to be by MTR. Overall, a solid 3/5 for a great price. The ONLY real issue I had […] with the hotel was the shower. It's a standing shower, but your space is very limited. Which is fine! The issue was that they chose to go with a curtain rather than a glass shower. Due to the space constraint, the hot water going down and the steam causes the curtain to suction against your body which is annoying and well somewhat unclean. So the only way to shower is to open the curtain, turn off the water, wash your body, close curtain, remove shower head, rinse. Honestly, I would be tempted to give this a 3.5/5 if they would just switch the curtains. Service, cleanliness match the price. Watch out for hookers in the area. I got harassed a little bit at the local foot massage parlours. Traveller beware. Oh, and twice taxi drivers, and many times myself, got lost finding the hotel. I guess that would be another downfall. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli

The Hotel is about 5 blocks from the Metro. Since I was a single occupant they gave me the smallest room with a double bed, but thats OK because the rooms were very clean, which is the most important thing to me, If you were to bring more than two pieces of luggage you would not be able to open the door or walk around the room.

"Clean, good value, just don't book a single room."
Excellent location, on a quiet street but within easy walking distance of the Ladies' Market, Flower and Bird Markets. 5-minute stroll from Prince Edward station. The hotel is newly-built, clean, and staff are friendly and efficient. Rooms are small, but that is to be expected for HK. Rooms are cleaned daily (including weekends and holidays). Try to […] avoid booking a single room - all the single rooms are next to the lift, and you will hear a loud "ping!" every time the lift arrives on your floor.

"Rude staff!"
The hotel is fine but my stay was really ruined by the desk staff. They speak good English and are perfectly efficient, but are very rude. It's like being in a hotel run by grumpy teenagers.

"Small but adequate"
This hotel was nice in that it was affordable and well located between the Prince Edward and Nam Cheong stations, making it easy to access multiple lines of the metro and thus many parts of Hong Kong. The room (single) was so small I could not open my suitcase unless I was standing on the bed, and then could not open the door until the suitcase was […] re-packed. The bathroom was also very small, but overall the room met my needs. One night there was no hot water in the shower, but the problem was resolved within a few hours of notifying the receptionist. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Neighborhood was not particularly nice, but did not feel unsafe. The fitness center and spa advertised on the website were "not open" during my stay.

If all you want is somewhere to sleep, with good facilities and fairly cheap, this is ideal. Clean modern building, with everything you need in the room.

The hotel looks fairly new. I reserved a single room. But they gave me a room with 2 single beds. For 1 person there was enough space, but for 2 people it might be a little squeezed.

Everything about the hotel was perfect. It's clearly new - I think it opened in the last 6 months. It's a couple blocks from the subway in a neighborhood with small shops and residential.

"Great on a budget and close to the action"
I was skeptical about staying here after reading so many negative reviews - but this place matched my budget! I was only in Hong Kong for four days and wanted somewhere relatively close to the action and basically just somewhere comfortable and safe to sleep and keep my belongings while I spent my days out and about exploring. Yes, the single rooms […] and the shower rooms are extremely small, but if you're like me and visiting for adventure and exploring the city, then it's in a perfect location. It's easy to find from Prince Edward (about a 10 minute walk away), which is located on Nathan Road, the 'Golden Mile' that leads you through all of the notable markets straight down to Tsim Sha Tsui onto Victoria Harbour. If you prefer the finer things in life and luxurious hotels, then I'd look elsewhere. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli

Loading... Slaughterhouse-five (original 1969; edition 1994)by Kurt Vonnegut
Work detailsSlaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut (1969)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. pretty much required reading. it's not very long, like 200 pages, and it's a good ruler with which to measure other fun books against, sort of like when you're fourteen and kissing is something that is suddenly like a thing that you do now. It took a while to sink in but then I realized the brilliance of the novel as a whole. Worth a re-read. This is a powerful anti-war book. I know a number of people who love it, and, while I don't, I can see why it merits admiration, and know that part of my reaction comes from hearing it echoed cheaply. Both the narration and the plot grapple with the horrors of war. The reflexive response when anyone's death is mentioned -- 'so it goes' -- is a fair response (the not the only possible response) of someone who has endured mind-bending trauma. Unfortunately, I've mostly heard the phase used by acquaintances who haven't experienced any kind of trauma, and are just trying to sound hip. There's a giant difference between a psychic equilibrium following an unbearable experience and an appropriated pose of studied cynicism, but having heard the latter, I found it hard to come to the book with a fresh mind and heart. Slaughterhouse V is, it seems to me, thoroughly modernist. That's visible especially in the way Vonnegut handles the key plot device - that Billy Pilgrim has come unmoored in time, and shifts (almost) randomly from one point in his life to another. In a post-modern treatment, this would give rise to multiple versions of the same events, of questions about reliability of the narrator, or challenges to the possibility of making any kind of objective sense of the story. Slaughterhouse V, in contrast, doesn't seem at all interested in these possibilities. Pilgrim's linear experience of life is shattered by the trauma he experiences, but that's just a device for illustrating the inevitability of fate, not the subjectivity of truth. That's even more striking given the frame of the story - Vonnegut the author is writing as Vonnegut the frame-narrator who tells the story of Billy Pilgrim from third-person omniscient point of view, sharing details that could only have come from Pilgrim himself (and in some cases not even from him). That's ripe for all sorts of games with reliability and motive, and yet Slaughterhouse V doesn't play them. The modernist view has implications for the philosophical lesson of the book. At a couple key points, Pilgrim encounters the short form of the serenity prayer (most strikingly, in a locket suspended between the pneumatic breasts of Montana Wildhack on Tralfamadore), which famously asks God for serenity to accept the unchangeable, courage to change what can be changed, and wisdom to know the difference. Except that, given the book's determinism, it's not clear that there is anything in the set of 'things that can be changed' - and wisdom comes (at least for Pilgrim) from realizing that. A postmodern telling of the story might actually offer more grounds for hope - because any individual's narrative would just be that, and it's always possible someone could find an interpretive path through Pilgrim's experiences that would lead to a better place. On the other hand, a post-modern version wouldn't offer nearly the anti-war force of Slaughterhouse V as it is. The story of a soldier named Billy Pilgrim who survived the firebombing of Dresden in World War II, came home, married, had two children, was abducted by aliens and was able to travel back and forth during his lifetime. Genius, obviously. Not only is it truly genius but I would also be booed off stage for saying otherwise. On that note, has anyone noticed how Kurt Vonnegut, above and beyond just about any other writer I can think of except maybe Stan Lee, engenders the purest and most worshipful man-love in just about every literate male I know? I'm not being sexist -- I mean, I love me some Vonnegut -- but there's something about his writing that speaks to the masculine condition (or anyway, mostly-white-male-masculine-condition) in a way that is both profound, touching, resonant, and real (i.e., un-sentimental, un-saccharine). And that is one of my favorite things about him: in a time where I'm watching any number of brothers and guy-friends and male-figures in my life deal with the shifting dynamic of the traditional heteronormative power structure, it makes me really happy to know that Vonnegut provides a touchstone for reality for them.
It is a novel about war and what men do to each other in the name of holy causes. Which is not to say it is anywhere near "The Naked and the Dead" or "From Here to Eternity." Vonnegut fights his wars with feathers rather than with jackhammers. "Slaughterhouse-Five" is funny, satirical, compelling, outrageous, fanciful, mordant, fecund and at the bottom-line, simply stoned-out-of-its-mind. An agonizing, funny, profoundly rueful attempt by Vonnegut to handle in fable form his own memories of the strategically unnecessary Allied air raid on Dresden... few modern writers have borne witness against inhumanity with more humanity or humor. "Slaughterhouse-Five" is an extraordinary success. It is a book we need to read, and to reread. It has the same virtues as Vonnegut's best previous work. It is funny, compassionate and wise. The humor in Vonnegut's fiction is what enables us to contemplate the horror that he finds in contemporary existence. It does not disguise the awful things perceived; it merely strengthens and comforts us to the point where such perception is bearable. It sounds crazy. It sounds like a fantastic last-ditch effort to make sense of a lunatic universe. But there is so much more to this book. It is very tough and very funny; it is sad and delightful; and it works. But is also very Vonnegut, which mean you'll either love it, or push it back in the science-fiction corner.

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (6)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0385333846, Paperback)Kurt Vonnegut's absurdist classic Slaughterhouse-Five introduces us to Billy Pilgrim, a man who becomes unstuck in time after he is abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. In a plot-scrambling display of virtuosity, we follow Pilgrim simultaneously through all phases of his life, concentrating on his (and Vonnegut's) shattering experience as an American prisoner of war who witnesses the firebombing of Dresden.Don't let the ease of reading fool you--Vonnegut's isn't a conventional, or simple, novel. He writes, "There are almost no characters in this story, and almost no dramatic confrontations, because most of the people in it are so sick, and so much the listless playthings of enormous forces. One of the main effects of war, after all, is that people are discouraged from being characters..." Slaughterhouse-Five (taken from the name of the building where the POWs were held) is not only Vonnegut's most powerful book, it is as important as any written since 1945. Like Catch- 22, it fashions the author's experiences in the Second World War into an eloquent and deeply funny plea against butchery in the service of authority. Slaughterhouse-Five boasts the same imagination, humanity, and gleeful appreciation of the absurd found in Vonnegut's other works, but the book's basis in rock-hard, tragic fact gives it a unique poignancy--and humor. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:20:19 -0400) Billy Pilgrim is the son of an American barber. He serves as a chaplain's assistant in World War II, is captured by the Germans, and he survives the largest massacre in European history--the fire bombing of Dresden. After the war Billy makes a great deal of money as an optometrist, and on his wedding night he is kidnapped by a flying saucer from the planet Tralfamadore. So begins a modern classic by a master storyteller.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

As a VOLUNTEER CONTRIBUTOR of my time,
energies, and talents at this website, my mission for this project has been to:
FIND graves (and cemeteries)
PHOTOGRAPH markers
ENTER photos at FAG
Therefore, ALL my PHOTO entries are (in virtual reality) 'volunteer' photos! Please respect FAG guidelines, and copyright LAW by NOT copying/enhancing and then RE-POSTING any of my photos! Thanx -
UPDATE: October 2013
When I began my efforts at FAG, my mission was to photograph cemetery markers and enter those photos at this website ... when I began this volunteer project? it was truly one of ONLY 'finding graves'.
In 2003, many cemeteries were not yet mapped by GPS - memorial pages did not have 'fields' for entries such as maiden or nicknames - family member links, and the SAC button for error corrections, did not yet exist.
Within my tenure of the past ten years, FAG has evolved into what many are attempting to create -
A 'no fee' GENEALOGY WEBSITE
where volunteer contributors are now 'expected' to contribute? additional hours (hundreds in my case), updating pages with 'new' information input - 'borrowed' from other 'fee paid' genealogy sites!
I appreciate your zeal in helping to foster this 'new' vision for FAG admins, but I must ask you to not include me in any future TOTAL cemetery, or extended family updates! These revisions and additions arrive without source information, and require more time and energy investment than I am willing, or able, to continue to 'freely' donate.
If/when CORRECTIONS are needed? to pages I have created, please DO notify me, via SAC. Thank you for your understanding - and blessings to you, for your generous, ORIGINAL contributions to this website project!

Pats prep for Thanksgiving throwdown vs. Jets
Posted: 11/21/12 at 5:50 pm Updated: 11/21/12 at 6:18 pm
Tags: Tom Brady Patriots Jets Thanksgiving
UNDATED (WHDH) -- The Patriots are preparing for a Thanksgiving Day throw down with their division rival, the New York Jets.
The Thursday night game means both teams are dealing with unusual schedules.
Seventy-two hours ago, the Patriots were playing, and in about 24 hours they'll be playing again. The Patriots would've just completed their first practice in a normal week.
It may be a challenge, but it's one the Pats are ready for.
"How we doing today? Happy early Thanksgiving," Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said.
Emphasis on the early. The Patriots are feeling the crunch of a condensed week of preparations, and that means some long days at the office.
"Obviously, we're a work in process…progress. We're a work in…It's early in the morning, sorry guys," said Jerod Mayo.
No apologies necessary, as long as everybody's priorities are in the right place.
"Hopefully everyone is spending their time wisely, not playing video games and stuff like that, trying to understand our plan and what we need to do," Brady said.
"Obviously, your body is a little sore, but the mental aspect of trying to cram all the information over the last couple of games about this team, it's very mentally taxing," Mayo said.
Rob Gronkowski and his broken forearm will miss this Turkey Day feast, but there are plenty of others ready to take his seat at the table.
"It puts pressure on everybody, not one player can just replace him. We gotta fiddle around, and everyone has to step up," said Aaron Hernandez.
"He's not playing this week, so we have to go out there and win without him. There are a lot of guys who are capable of making plays for us, and that's where my attention is focused, on the guys that are going to try to help us win this game," Brady said.
The Patriots did in fact rule Rob Gronkowski out for Thursday's game, but he's not the only one. Guard Logan Mankins and defensive end Chandler Jones also ruled out -- and Rex Ryan is rejoicing.
You can see the Patriots take on the Jets Thursday night on 7NBC.

*** Driver Stéphane Lémeret will represent Car-Pass in the VW Fun Cup ***
For the 2012 Fun Cup season, Stéphane Lémeret will take the wheel of the car wearing the colours of Car-Pass to compete for the title in the "Two-Seater" category. He will be joining the seasoned team of Live Racing Experience that is captained by Alain Vercammen and Pietro Avanzini and also includes Miguel Coppieters and Nicolas Vaxelaire. Marc Wauters will be responsible for the technical support for the car.
Stéphane Lémeret normally drives much faster racing cars in competitions such as the Le Mans Series or the BTCS, but that will hardly prevent him from being an enthusiastic and motivated participant in the hotly contested Fun Cup.
During the Motor Show, a contest will be held jointly with Autoscout24. By answering a few simple questions about Car-Pass, participants can enter to win a seat as co-pilot during the opening manche of the Fun Cup at the racetrack in Zolder. Over the course of the entire season, 70 people will have the chance to get a taste of auto racing in this way. Thanks in part to the professionalism, experience and enthusiasm of Stéphane Lémeret, this certainly promises to be a unique experience.
Stéphane Lémeret will make an appearance at the Car-Pass stand on the patio of the Motor Show on Thursday 19 January at 2:30 PM.
