Metal Gear Scanlon 3: Part 02
Become Premium to Watch
There's a word for games like The Order: 1886. Rental.
Ten years later, this frustrating follow-up to Canvas Curse feels shallow and soulless by comparison.
The chaos and fun of Saints Row is fully intact in the underworld, but a new setting can only go so far.
Game » consists of 1 releases. Released Dec 30, 2004
Some games have inspired the creation of literature.
A cliffhanger is a type of ending where the fate of the characters, the world, or everything in the world is left unresolved. In most cases, they are revealed in sequels.
One of the age-old narrative structures in literature, in which a young protagonist faces conflict that transforms him or her into a mature adult. This is an especially common device in RPGs.
In a franchise, it entails the second game that takes on a gritty and dark tone to distinguish it from the first.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Game titles that make a statement of fact or opinion.
Digital Distribution is the concept of purchasing digital media via the internet and having it sent to the user directly via the internet. No physical representation of this content is given but the content resides on the users hard drive and is legally owned by them.
Games that fit this category involve characters that can traverse different dimensions.
Content released frequently, every release contains a small portion of a whole story.
These games were popular enough to warrant an anime, whether it was a full television series, an OVA (original video animation), or a feature-length movie.
More commonly known as a "time loop", these games feature events that force the players through the cycle of repeating one (or a few) day(s). This is often presented as the result of time travel or other strange phenomena.
"Indie" or "independently developed" games are video games which are developed by a studio without the support of an external publisher.
A plot device where innocent characters are killed. Sometimes players forced to watch it happen and can do nothing to prevent it.
Insanity is a condition whereby the sufferer is of unsound mind. Depending on the condition of the individual, he or she may be prone to fits of uncontrollable violent behavior, hallucinations, or other symptoms.
Horror games influenced predominantly by the look, feel, and themes of Japanese horror cinema, or non-horror games that allude to the cultural horror aesthetic. J-Horror, or psychological horror, is sometimes classified as a sub-genre of survival horror.
The act of killing a child is considered taboo in most games. There are, however, some games that allow this breed of tomfoolery.
A love triangle is when three (or more) people are in some kind of romantic relationship with each other. They can become messy and complicated. It may or may not be competitive.
When a relative is missing, and the protagonist is forced to look for the aforementioned relative.
This page is about the concept of Multiple Personalities, also known as Split Personalities. This is the concept of a single physical body being host to many separate identities. Isn't that right, Zach?
Games that feature more than one storyline, each often paired with a different protagonist. The storylines may intersect, or they may be completely independent of one another.
Murder is the act of ending the life of another living thing against its will without the sanction of a higher governmental authority, such as the casualties that result from acts of war. It is generally intentional, at least in a legal meaning, but not necessarily.
Characters that are initially portrayed as evil, but eventually turn out to be good or not as serious of a threat. This also includes villains who remain evil the entire game, but contain some sense of moral goodness or ambiguity.
Therapy is treatment for people with either psychological or psychiatric problems who seek help.
Romance in video games can either be interactive, in which the player attempts to woo another character, or an unchangeable part of the story of a given game.
Scary Children in scary games. Some speak, some don't but they all stare.
Shrine maidens, or miko, are girls or young women who perform various duties at Shinto shrines.
The limitations of early gaming hardware, especially in the 8-bit era, made animated story sequences impractical for many games. One popular alternative was to convey the story through a series of still images, often with text and music alongside them.
The act of taking one's own life.
Popularized by franchises such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill, these games typically involve a strong implication of danger, vulnerable protagonists, and disturbing monsters.
In a number of games, characters often talk about friendship and the importance of friends, some sacrificing themselves for one another.

Excellent location – rated 9.5/10! (score from 282 reviews)
Rated by guests after their stay at Apartamentos Turísticos Alhambra.
Fantastic location for views to the Alhambra and also a walking trail up the back which makes it easier to access to Alhambra. Great experience staying in the Old town.

Quirky and full of charm. Roof terrace was wonderful even in the Winter. Owner was friendly and helpful and advised that we left our hire car at the Alhambra Palace. Its then only a short walk.

Great location in the middle of the old Arab neighbourhood (Albaicin) very easy access to all touristic locations. Very nice refurbished flat with amazing views on the Alhambra.
Have no complaints- a great stay!
The roof terrace was great.
The view from our flat (501) of the Alhambra was fantastic! Imagine waking up every day and having breakfast with the Alhambra looming across as the backdrop! It's also in the center of Albaicin and within walking distance of many sites, and it's beautiful to just get lost in!
Very helpful staff and provision of basic food hamper was welcomed

Very good
From the moment we were greeted by the wonderful gentleman at reception we knew our stay was going to be perfect and it was. The room was beautiful and the view of the Alhambra stunning. We would definitely stay again and without question would recommend it to friends and family and total strangers!

Great location in the middle of the old Arab neighbourhood (Albaicin) very easy access to all touristic locations. Very nice refurbished flat with amazing views on the Alhambra.
We were travelling by car. Access was just terrible, if you want to drop your bags next to the flat get prepared for a 1/2 hour long adventure risking your car's integrity. It is better to leave your car in a parking lot in the city and take a cab.
The roof terrace was great.
The layout of the apartment is a compromise between facilities and space and doesn't work always. The microwave and coffee maker are awkwardly placed There is too little light, particularly over the cooking area where it is impossible to see the dials on the hob. The only way to see the TV is from the bed which is not how I we want it to be.

The apartment was a bit small though I guess that comes with the area given it's in the old quarters. Otherwise, all is great!
View Comfort Great persons Nice city Beauty hostel
Location. Friendly, helpful staff. Complimentary snacks. Fridge/microwave. Views from the terrace during both the day and evening were fantastic.
Bathroom was the smallest we encountered in Spain and sewer smell was so overpowering it woke me up. Manager very willing to move rooms, but we found a wet washcloth over the shower drain took care of it and didn't want to hassle with a move since we were there such a short time.
Very helpful staff and provision of basic food hamper was welcomed
The location and view from our room was second to none. Very nice how they combined the old wall into the new hotel. Staff was very helpful.
Very hard to find this hotel. Park well away from the old area of Granada and take a taxi in to the hotel. The shared patio was in another building altogether - not convenient but very nice patio.
terrace - terrace - terrance, what a find - the rooms were excellent
the noise from other appartments seems like they missed out on sound proofing during the renovation
Twin room was stunning with huge clean bathroom, full facilities for cooking etc, lounge area. Ana was wonderful, giving help for restaurants and bars, some with discount. I'd definitel consider this place again
Little option for breakfast although snacks were provided free of charge. Located up quite a steep hill that was very difficult for taxis to access, so maybe worth avoiding for the least agile.
Stayed here with my girlfriend in early October and was extremely impressed. They overbooked us for our initial reservation (that we made the night before) and took it upon themselves to rebook us in an equally great room. The accommodations are spacious and clean with everything you need, especially for the money. The rooftop patio is beyond gorgeous and all the amenities are top notch. Now all the aside, I have to get to the good stuff. The location. My god. When you walk up the stairs that lead to the hotel check in and you turn around, you're greeted by the most stunning view of the Alhambra that we saw in all of Granada. It's worth the price alone. When you see it at night from the terrace then you'll know what I mean. Can't stress this enough. In case you can't tell, I recommend staying here...highly. Staff are also extremely helpful. A can't miss spot.
Only got to stay here 2 nights.
Fantastic location for views to the Alhambra and also a walking trail up the back which makes it easier to access to Alhambra. Great experience staying in the Old town.
The beautiful roof terrace with spectacular Alhambra views. Nice courtyard style building built around remains of cool old city walls. Great location, the use of the owners pool was lovely and in a gorgeous setting. Super helpful staff, value for money, and a laid back vibe.
Walking from the station showed up our satnavs sadist tendencies - granada is HILLY! There is some noise from other rooms- doors closing etc. and the bedroom area of the apartment was a bit on the small side in comparison to the living room side. These aren't huge issues and didn't detract from a wonderful stay.
The stuff is very helpful, very good in english, helped us to plan the trip the next day and booked the taxi for us. The apartment is very nice and have a great view on Alhambra in the roof-top
We absolutely LOVED this place! From our first step into Apartamentos Turisticos Alhambra with it's incredible location and construction around the 11th century wall and tower to it's rooftop terraces's unobstructed view of the Alhambra it was awesome! It was clean, spacious, comfortable and so accommodating. The staff was friendly and helpful and speaking English was no problem for them. We felt extremely lucky to have booked this apartment for such a reasonable price with such an incredible view! I want to go back!
Not one thing!
good location, in Alybazin area. Close to couple of Morrocan restaurants and Hammams. helpful staff Ana, helped me to book Arabic bath, taxi, and tell me the route and tips to the sights. Nice and clean room, with cookware, Arabic style bed, wooded interior, and some self catering things like muffin and bread. Astonishing view directly to Alhambra on the roof.
Nothing to blame about this hotel, I wish I could spend one more day here.
Interesting location in the heart of the Arab quarter with fantastic views of the Alhambra. Very helpful and informative staff. It was nice to be able to use the adjoining pool and garden. Sitting on the rooftop terrace in the evening watching the lights come on at the Palace is a fantastic memory.
While the building is beautiful and makes the most of its history (exposed ancient walls, etc. in communal areas), there can be sleep disturbance via the plumbing if you have early rising neighbours. This is only a minor issue however.
Staff were super friendly and helpful.
Finding the parking was not simple, even with the directions from the hotel.
Helpful staff who gave useful advice when I booked and took time to identify places to see on map. Best advice -when lost in Albaycin head down and towards Alhambra.
Guests upstairs showering after midnight. Can hear every bathroom visit in room underneath
Great views of the Alhambra from our room. Superb panorama from the roof terrace. Very nice, large room with a neat screen to separate the bedroom.
The host, Ana, was fantastic with local advice and also booked us bus and train travel, nothing was too much trouble, an unforgettable experience. Beautiful views of the Alhambra from our apartment. Apartment has everything you need.
The view is excellent.
Pool and gardens are a bit tired and need a spruce up
We stayed in the 1-bed with two terraces--absolutely amazing views of the Alhambra from one terrace and the Albaycin rooftops on the other! Very well equipped and made our Granada stay something very special that we will remember forever! Great location right next to the river !! Highly recommended!

Sorry for overexposed pic, but the sunlight was strong :P

"Getting at the Heart of L.A." Top 5 Page for this destination Los Angeles by marinarena
Los Angeles Travel Guide: 4,541 reviews and 9,352 photos
Hmmm... the City of Angels? OK, she is not so angelic but what's really in a name anyway?
OOH L.A.! She's cool, fake, stylized, vast and never boring for sure!
She's emerging especially in her DOWNTOWN region, which will be especially covered in these pages, but communities from all directions of the center will be well covered too.
Throughout my " Tales of a Twisted Angel", I will reiterate: It's hard to know where Los Angeles begins and ends! I'm still learning about this giant metropolis myself. With every trip, I am more puzzled but I'll try to bring new, fresh aspects of the fabulous metro area and greater L.A.
(The WEST L.A. page will focus on the popular Westwood area, the quiet and prominent Brentwood (including The Getty Center) and business mecca of Century City, as well as smaller portions of the city due west:
West Los Angeles)
Here, you will discover why I say on my homepage that L.A. is continually "pregnant" with communities inside of it. The following four communities are officially part of Los Angeles, though are such distinct communities that they have separate pages. Still, it is OK to call them L.A. since they lie within the city:
North Hollywood
San Pedro
Many cities of Los Angeles COUNTY, that are often considered as part of what is thought to be L.A. (but are NOT), are highlighted on other pages of mine. They include:
Santa Monica, Pasadena, Glendale, Long Beach, West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills.
For info on the L.A. adjacent SOUTH BAY area, check out the Torrance page,
as well as Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach.
Some cities that are mentioned on this group of Los Angeles subpages are smaller cities especially from the SAN GABRIEL VALLEY(SGV) region. Both L.A. and Pasadena pages highlight the SGV suburbs.
Check List of Fun/Interesting
Well-Known places :
Downtown LA and immediate surrounding areas
For cultural and history buffs, there is Olvera Street & Union Station in downtown or "Central City" (though no one really says the latter), Chinatown
(cheap shopping) and Little Tokyo (so clean, unspoiled, GOOD sushi!) .
For mingling, people-watching, or just "being seen", go to L.A. Live (Staples Center, Nokia Theater, Club Nokia club, etc) and hotspots like the Standard hotel.
For fine accommodation, try the historic Millenium Biltmore Hotel and Bonaventure Hotel.
Neighborhoods to explore that are close to downtown include Los Feliz ("hipster" heaven) & Silverlake (ditto), featured in off the beaten path tips of L.A.
Western enclaves of L.A.
Go to the Getty and LACMA museums, Farmer's Market/The Grove and the Westwood Village, and get to know the communities of West L.A., Miracle Mile/Park La Brea, Westwood, Brentwood and more.
(all featured on my West L.A. pages)
All right, to further add to the confusion that is L.A., I really would be remiss to not mention the official & unofficial northern parts of L.A. which together make up the so-ballyhooed "Valley"
Many outside of L.A. came to know a little something of "the Valley" in the 80s classic movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High" in which "valley girls" (and people in general) were touted.
To get the feel of the Hollywood industry outside of Hollywood, visit these official communities of L.A, where many of the industry and just the regular folk live and gather :
Read about Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Encino and Tarzana in off the beaten path for now. All deserve their own page really, like the L.A. community of Hollywood.
(Picture is taken off the Gold Line Metro rails, Union Station area)
You'll see many more tips especially dealing with downtown L.A. because it is really coming into its own and should gather much more attention!
On my L.A. tips:
--I will have a focus on seasonal events which I'll attend myself, as well as year-round activities in my" Things to dos".
--Tolerate the many pizza & Italian "Restaurant tips" as I am on the continuous search for the best pizza in southern California.
--There is much to do on an L.A. night of course. See more "Nightlife tips" L.A. county links above (Santa Monica, Hollywood, West Hollywood, etc)
- Pros:mostly great weather year-round, emerging arts & cultural center, fun nightlife, exciting area that NEVER bores, goregous hillside views throughout the area, a very laidback attitude & lifestyle, new excitement in downtown & downtown-adjacent area
- Cons:too much car traffic & pollution; so widespread to appreciate in a short visit, depressing poor areas, increasingly high living costs in some areas, undeveloped & crime-filled parts like in most cities
- In a nutshell:If you can't live it up in L.A, there really is something wrong with YOU :-)

Marie, I'll be back for the rest but reading your Restaurant reviews have made me really hungry! LOL! Great work, I really appreciate your style!
Outstanding coverage of LA marie! I'm delighted that you've promoted public transit in the city that was least likely to be transit friendly until recently! Keep up the great detailed writing!
Great pages! Happy travels :-)
Thanks for your sharing a little of Los Angeles, had never thought of it as a "destination", just a place where Disneyland is...you have changed that for me and I will be back to discover more. Thanks. Martin
Great info Marie, you covered it all. I am a local Angelino too! Great coverage of out vast areas, Greg

After Sauron kills him and his family, Talion is resurrected by a Wraith Spirit and sets off to battle Sauron's forces and discover why he was brought back to life. Each enemy Tailon faces will result in a procedurally generated encounter that is said to be unique to each player, with enemies featuring different strengths, appearances, and missions. And as part of their pact with the wraith, players will be able to control the enemies they encounter, forming an army of their own.

Anti-Immigrant Fever Ignites Violence Against Women
I felt a sour taste in my throat, the one that immediately precedes my
gag reflex, when I read the NY Times piece about an immigration
official who forced a woman to perform oral sex on him in exchange for
her green card.
After the 22-year-old Colombian woman, whose name has not been
released, went in for an interview for her green card with immigration
agent Isaac Baichu in December of 2007, she started receiving phone
calls from Baichu demanding sex.
When he called her to meet in a restaurant's parking lot in Queens,
she was prescient enough to stash her cell phone, which was recording
their conversation, in her purse. Her cell phone captured Baichu
asking for sex "one or two times. That's all. You get your green card.
You won't have to see me anymore." Later in the tape there's a
minute-long pause when, the reporter writes, the young woman "yielded
to his demand out of fear that he would use his authority against
her." The Times posted an audio clip of the woman's recording in the
web edition of the article (yay, multimedia?) .
The sexual exploitation of immigrant women is nothing new, but there's
a very specific pattern of abuse tied to this case. News of a Miami
ICE agent who made a pit stop at his home so he could rape the Haitian
woman he was responsible for transporting to detention and reports of
sexual assault on a woman held at the Don T. Hutto Family Residential
Facility, a de facto prison in Texas for families awaiting
immigrations processing, come to mind. Similar scandals have been
reported in Maryland (Deputy Lloyd W. Miner this year), California
(Agent Eddie Miranda in 2007) and Georgia (Agent Kelvin R. Owens in 2005).
So what is it about the structural design of our society and the U.S.
immigration system that enables this abuse of power and the sexual
exploitation of immigrant women?
Part of it has to do with the vast discretionary power immigration
agents actually have. It's a job with little oversight and nearly
limitless opportunity to exploit immigrants the power differential
is too great for abuse not to be a near inevitability. But the recent
jump in reports of sexual assault is not just about bureaucratic
corruption. It's a symptom of the post-9/11, anti-immigrant fever that
continues to burn across the country. Mainstream media's dominant
characterizations of immigrants the last 7 years have been that of the
criminal alien, the dark-skinned terrorist, the unwelcome foreigner.
We've seen it more widely manifested in workplace raids, restrictive
local ordinances, and the vitriolic daily debate taking place on talk
radio. This cultural climate emboldens folks like Baichu to act with
impunity against people who've been systematically demonized in the
nation's political debates.
According to Pramila Jayapal, executive director of the Hate Free Zone
Campaign of Washington, eighty-five to ninety percent of immigrants
navigate the system without any legal representation, most immigrants
have few resources and no recourse when they've been wronged. The
truth is it's almost impossible to know how many similar cases go
The implicated immigration agents were not guilty of just everyday
white-collar corruption. Let's call it what it was: sexual violence,
rape plain and simple. Underlying these incidents is the systematic
debasement of undocumented immigrants and people of color justified by
the assumption that if a person is in the country without papers, they
cease to be human, and subsequently relinquish their rights to be
treated as such.

City: No fence access
By Erica Molina Johnson / El Paso Times
Article Launched: 03/19/2008 12:00:00 AM MDT
The El Paso City Council on Tuesday unanimously opposed the
installation of new border fencing sought by the Department of
Homeland Security by denying access to a road by the Albuquerque
District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The corps wanted to use the road to reach a staging area on
International Boundary and Water Commission property.
Although prohibiting access to the Corps of Engineers may impede the
federal government's process, it probably will not halt it, said Barry
Morrissey, spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection in
Washington, D.C.
"We're looking at other options," Morrissey said. "We're optimistic
we'll be able to work through this and continue with the project."
The vote came after a presentation by El Paso Sector Border Patrol
officials on the national Secure Border Initiative, which would
increase personnel, and improve technology, innovation and
infrastructure designed to prevent illegal crossing on foot over 93.14
miles of fence in the sector.
About 12 miles of that fencing would be inside the city.
Border Patrol Supervisory Agent John Contreras told the council that
between one and 1å miles would be new fencing inside the city.
Existing fences would be replaced on the rest of that 12.58-mile stretch.
The plan also calls for 300 miles of fencing to prevent illegal
vehicle crossings along the Southwest border, including 82.73 miles in
the El Paso sector. Of that, 82.69 miles would go in New Mexico. Less
than half a mile would be installed in Texas.
After the meeting, Eastridge/Mid-Valley city Rep. Steve Ortega said,
"We all agree there is a problem with undocumented immigrants, but I
think the federal proposal is a simple-minded, kindergarten-type of
solution seeking to address a real problem." He said he would prefer
that the discussion center on proposals to deal with the problems
causing illegal immigration.
The council also unanimously voted to instruct Mayor John Cook to
draft a letter to Congress explaining its denial of the access road
request, emphasizing that the Border Patrol's plan presented Tuesday
may not comply with the Hutchison Amendment that requires community
"As I understand it (the consultation), it's not just for information,
but an engaged process," West-Central city Rep. Susie Byrd said after
the meeting. "What was presented, that's not a consultation. They at
no time asked us for feedback."
She said the federal government may not be allowed to release money
for the project if the community consultation requirement is not met.
The fence "is not a solution to the problems we have," Westsider
Martina Morales said. "The only thing it's going to do is cause more
deaths on the border because people are going to cross through
more-remote areas."
Border Patrol Assistant Chief Roy Hoats told the council that multiple
efforts had been made to obtain El Pasoans' input.
"We have been actively engaged with the community," he said.
"Overwhelmingly, the local citizenry of El Paso is in support of our
fencing initiatives. We did have several meetings where there were
opponents of our technology and fencing initiatives."
The meetings organized by the Border Patrol were advertised primarily
through fliers distributed in neighborhoods, though one in February
was mentioned in the newspaper and on television.
"We're doing what we can to get the word out, and we will continue to
do that," Contreras said.
In Washington, D.C., Morrissey said that in addition to meetings,
comments could be submitted by fax, e-mail, mail, online and in person.
Fernando Garcia, executive director of the Border Network for Human
Rights, an immigrant-rights group in El Paso, said he was disappointed
by the actions of the Border Patrol in El Paso.
"We are a major stakeholder on this issue. We never heard about any
serious consultation," he said. "They tried to mislead the City
Council (with claims of community support). Hopefully this opens the
space in El Paso to discuss the issues of the border fence."
Northeast resident Ken Muise said the city should be made to cooperate.
He said that if the city did not cooperate, the federal government
should withhold all money meant for El Paso.
Hoats told the council that the fencing costs between $1 million and
$4 million a mile.
But East Side Rep. Rachel Quintana said during the meeting, "That $12
(million) to $50 million would be better served with technology rather
than a fence."
Although the discussion focused on the border fence, Hoats reminded
the council that the plan also included personnel, technology, other
infrastructure and innovation.
Ortega called the border fence plan one that "caters to the
reactionary and xenophobic element of political leadership."
He said that although he would not be surprised to see the federal
government's plan to move forward regardless of the actions of the El
Paso City Council, he hopes for change in 2009.
"I think there's a high likelihood the next presidential
administration and next Congress will reconsider the silly measure,"
he said. "I think both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both stated
they would re-examine this."

The hotel can be described as Old World Elegance and Class. The staff at the hotel and restaurant were courteous and professional. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast and dinner were amazing. This gem of a hotel just outside Siena, Tuscany is a place we would recommend to our friends and family.
Great breakfast,comfortable room,good value for money overall. The restaurant serves a tastefull cuisine.
Good atmtmosphere, friendly staff. Very good beds.
Unfortunately no control over the heating system. Left the window open (-3º C). Woke up with the radiator blazing hot. Gave me somewhat of a headache.
Lovely restaurant with lovely staff, good brekfast, nice rooms!
Free parking, breakfast, free wifi, friendly staff! Value for money! Location!
Matress, restaurant (food in the nighth) and downtown
Poor wifi signal and parkinglot
Convenient base to get to San Gimignano.
Restaurant doesn't open till 8pm! Not too many other choices in the neighbourhood.
Good value well situated hotel. Kind efficient staff. Food in dining room presented in a very spread out way across the room but it was good and fresh
A little dark.
Great location
One of the ladies at the desk acted like she wished we weren't there. Not sure why. She acted like we were a major bother.
Friendly staff
Dated decor, spotty wifi, breakfast just adequate.
Roberta went way beyond her duties to help us; her family has owned the restaurant since the 1800's and they take great pride in their menu. Her son is chef and she often works the desk and the restaurant. Perfect for seeing San G, Firenze (take the bus or train,) vineyards and Colle but yet staying in a town with few tourists.
Although the hotel was lovely, the town of Poggibonsi has not much to rave about. The hotel is very reasonably priced in comparison to other areas around chianti so if you have a car it is easy to drive around and we spent all our time in nearby San Gimignano. The locally made toiletries in the bathroom were devine!
The breakfast was pretty limited for choices. The town was dead at night, we couldn't find anywhere to eat. The hotel has a well reviewed restaurant but it was a little out of our price range as budget travellers.
Friendly staff, nice food at the hotel's restaurant and great coffee
Well built, with beautiful room windows that open like an enclosed balcony on the public park.
I could not understand the room safe keeping box.
Fresh croissants - first time in more than a week - most hotels serve dat old baking.
Our room was not at all as pictured on the website. Room was loud and bed uncomfortable. Breakfast was ok, the usual fare. Overpriced for what they offer - nothing much around the hotel at all.
We liked everything. It is very good starting point for Toscany and very cheap.
Very good location. Near to Siena and Florence. Very helpful staff. Delicious seafood and pasta at their restaurant. They have a private free car park behind the hotel. Definitely come again.
Breakfast could be better.
Clean, good value for money, friendly staff
The structure is a bit old, maybe also a bit noisy as it is located close to a few roads.
The location (of the city). Friendly staff. No problem with parking spaces.
Our room had very poor wifi reception. Also, the windows in our room had poor sound isolation and kept trembling because of the traffic below.
Very good value for money, you can get to Siena and San Gimignano but pay half the cost of accommodation.
The windows are old (single-pane!), and the noise from the street is very bad at night and in the morning.
Well situated. Good breakfast.
We had internet connection problems but finally it worked, but not in the restaurant, so bad I have to say. One elevator is not enough, we used stairs until 5 th floor. Very bad isolation at the window, you can hear everything from outside. Old furniture and shower courtain in 2014 at this price????

Hulu is really aiming to become a force to be reckoned with, and considering the exclusives they already have, and the original content (most of which is awesome, by the way), they are well on their way. Now they're adding exclusive streaming rights to CSI, and, as mentioned in the press release below, they'll soon have Elementary as well.
The move is an interesting one, and with Hulu apparently looking for as many exclusives as they can get, it's one that makes sense. As for me, frankly, I'm not a huge fan of any shows that are acronym-titled, and with what an exclusive deal probably cost for this one, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other major players didn't fight all that hard.
At any rate, if you're looking for your fix of CSI, you know where you're going to have to go. »

Anderson County schools will be closed today, said Larry Basham, assistant superintendent.
Some of the county's roads still have snow and ice from the winter storm that began around 5 p.m. Monday, Basham said.
"We would have buses going down those roads, and I wouldn't feel good about doing that," he said.
Basham said officials had hoped to be back in school, but decided against it early Wednesday afternoon.

Unfortunately his appearance also causes some to downplay his strength in battle. How could a man who looks so fluid and feminine hold a sword with any real confidence?

looking more for a pub match w/ friends then a ranked/draft match. But do you think like a lux + voli or ashe + voli would be good? it seems a good ranged with him would be very nice. right now my buy list is voli, pantheon, lux, riven
awesome, i have a friend who's really good with ashe and i think when the 5 of us go draft voli+ashe top lux mid and darius + sona im pretty sure im gonna get voli, ima play 1 match when my friends get on and then ill have enough
Ten Inch Rooster
I use him for jungling. Unless you have an opposing team that has ranged stuns, his ganks are very easy to pull off. He also as others have mentioned is a good pick against Darius but imo Kayle is 1000% more fun to smack Darius down with
Feo Leche
I main Voli. Usually play him support. Though top lane works well and jungling is slow but ganks are effective. He is the most ridiculous champ in my opinion. Tanks like a ****ing boss, and the more health he has the harder your W hits. He has a gap close and a cc in one move (his Q) and even more cc on his E. Your ult is a little weak but can help in team fights. Oh, and his passive, probably one of the best passives in the game. Level one tower dive best. When his passive is up, play him super aggressive. The enemy will commit to you early game and you can almost always make it away because of it. I pretty much never, no I NEVER do bad as the bear and I would recommend him to anyone. Get him now, you won't regret it. P.S. I find that he works best with Ashe or MF. P.P.S. Get him RIGHT NOW.
I got him, the first match I did horrible. 1/11/5 then after that i actually found a good build, stopped lagging, figured out how his skills work, and wrecked havoc on the other team. GO VOLIBEAR!
Volibear is a good champ to own just incase you want to go against Darius, Chogath, or Nasus especially the later who needs to farm and Volibear makes it a hassle to try and kill minions.
Nasus is really fun to play, and I heard they are making him way better in this huge patch. Just keep on farming his Q, and he would get 500 damage just from his Q.
Meh,kis kit is not coherent enough.Hence creating weird scenarios where he just becomes binary in term of gameplay. In other words he probablys need a rework.

Analysis of the Behavior of Self-Similar Traffic in a QoS-Aware Architecture for Integrating WiMAX and GEPON
Journal of Optical Communications and Networking, Vol. 1, Issue 4, pp. 259-273 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (821 KB)
The access network has remained the bottleneck in efforts to deliver bandwidth-intensive new-generation applications and services to subscribers. In the wired access network, the gigabit Ethernet passive optical network (GEPON) is a promising technology for relieving this bottleneck, while its counterpart in the wireless access network is worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX). A converged quadruplet-service-enabled (video, voice, data, and mobility) network, which takes full advantage of the strengths and weaknesses of each of these promising technologies, has been proposed. Besides, research and Internet measurements have revealed that actual Ethernet and wireless data traffic are self-similar and long-range dependent. Therefore, we review the quality of service (QoS) architecture for integrating WiMAX and GEPON access networks that we proposed in previous work. Then, we present an analysis of the queuing behavior of the QoS architecture under self-similar and long-range-dependent data traffic conditions and derive closed-form expressions of the expected waiting time in queue (queuing delay) and the packet loss rate per QoS traffic class. This work brings novelty in terms of presenting performance analysis of the proposed QoS-aware integrated architecture under realistic load conditions and facilitates the provisioning of tightly bound QoS parameters to end users of the converged access network.

Classical Music, Books, Theater,
The life of a
zine is about a minute
Francisco Chronicle headline.
But clearly, they weren't talking about the arts-review 'zine
Welcome to the SEVENTEENTH
good-luck season underway at
www.artsSF.com, the independent, non-commercial observer-critic of
the arts, your best source in the San Francisco Bay Area for reviews.
With weekly reviews on WHAT'S NEW on the arts scene: Modern music
(non-commercial), premieres, theater reviews, dance, rarities, and,
at times, new-book reviews involving Northern California authors or
themes. On occasion, even a review or two from far-off lands. Also
some reports from the major symphonic, chamber and operatic
concerts, all emphasizing new or modern creativity.
Read the reviews first on artssf.com. Reports are compiled by veteran
Bay Area critics Paul Hertelendy, D. Rane Danubian, Carol Benet, V.I.
Hambleton, J. Charles, Georgia Rowe, Alix Schwartz, Karl Toepfer et
al in a vast (?) staff of good (very good!)
collaborators. Then there's our secret-weapon time machine: roving
critic Steven Emanuel, who scouts theater, thespians, books and
other themes in varied bailiwicks, anticipating hits that may land in
Northern California before long.
The 16th season had featured more than 100 reviews in toto from the
above contributors---113, to be exact. The Greater S.F. Bay Area
remains a bellwether in new works and modern approaches, as
stimulating as ever, fed by an audience thirsty for the fresh, novel
and profound. Most reviews appear within 24 hours after a
REVIEWS and news follow, starting

Raspberry Sherry Trifle
Enjoy Paula Deen's Southern take on the traditional British dessert.
Paula Deen introduces you to a Southern twist on the classic English dessert.
1 (18 1/2-ounce) package cake mix (recommended: Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Butter Recipe Gold)
1 1/2 cups dry sherry
7 egg yolks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups whipping cream
2 Tbsp. confectioners' sugar
3 (12-ounce) packages frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed
whipped cream, for garnish, optional
fresh raspberries, for garnish, optional
mint leaves, for garnish, optional
Butter and flour a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Prepare the cake according to package directions, but use 1/2 cup of the sherry in place of 1/2 cup water. When baked, let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut the cake into large chunks, about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and remaining 1 cup sherry into the top of a double boiler. Whisk until completely combined. Place the top pan over simmering water (do not let water touch the bottom of the top pan).
With a wooden spoon, stir over medium heat for about 8 minutes until the custard is quite thick, about the consistency of mayonnaise. Let cool. Whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar. Take half of the whipped cream and add it to the cooled custard, stirring well.
To assemble: In the bottom of a trifle bowl or a 13-by-9-inch disposable aluminum foil pan, layer 1/3 of the cake cubes, 1/3 of the raspberries, and 1/3 of the custard. Continue layering, ending with custard. Take the remaining whipped cream and completely cover the top of the custard. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Serve with additional whipped cream, fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint, if desired.

Apart in one body Confused and defiled Without the primal glory Of infants purified In bits and pieces My whole life flies An unsolved puzzle An augur sigh Would you help me?

In 1979 Barry and Dianne Humphreys purchased the ancient Grade 11* listed Manor and farmhouse, dating back through nearly 500 years of English history and situated on Trowle Common in beautiful West Wiltshire near Bath. Originally a cross passage dwelling it was extensively altered in C 1700 and faced in Ashlar, reputedly by a doctor, to its present Georgian style, not dissimilar to Prince Charles' house Highgrove. The whole complex was totally derelict with rain coming through the roof and squatters in residence. After sensitively renovating the main house, they carefully incorporated the old farm building and barns into an hotel, giving a large variety of rooms, many for non-smokers individually furnished with pine, romantic four poster and half tester beds and antiques. Please note - larger bookings have a 7 day cancellation policy.
