Miroslav Krleza 1893–1981
Croatian dramatist, novelist, essayist, short story writer, poet, critic, and autobiographer.
The following entry presents criticism of Krleza's career through 1987. For further information on his life and works, see CLC, Volume 8.
Considered the most significant Croatian literary voice of the twentieth century, Krleza wrote more than five dozen books, but has been generally ignored by Western academics and readers. Only a small portion of his work has been published in English—two novels, a short story collection, and selected writings issued in periodicals. His commitment to radical humanism led the Yugoslav government to ban most of his work until 1940, but by the early 1950s Krleza had become a major proponent of the artistic integrity of indigenous Yugoslav cultures. A master stylist who is often compared to such Western literary luminaries as James Joyce and Marcel Proust, most of Krleza's writings concern the downfall of the Austro-Hungarian empire and its transformation into a modern socialist state, while giving expression to often ambiguous themes and politics. Ante Kadic has explained that Krleza's "materialist convictions—conveyed with strong emotional impetus, his Marxist and liberal philosophy, his socialism mingled with sincere defense of personal freedom, and his readiness to defend his point of view with his own life—made Krleza highly controversial."
Biographical Information
Born in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, Krleza was sent to Hungary after graduating from high school to attend an officers' school in Pécs and then a military academy in Budapest. Although trained as an Austro-Hungarian officer, Krleza nonetheless sympathized with the Serbian nationalist cause and volunteered his services to the Serbian army in their war against the Turks in 1913. Suspicious Serbian officials, however, expelled Krleza, who consequently was arrested by Austrians, deprived of his rank, and sent to the front lines as a private when Austro-Hungary declared war on Serbia in 1914. This was the same year that Krleza made his literary debut with the publication of the anti-religious drama Legenda (1914). Krleza's experience on the fronts in Galicia and Austria during World War I brought him into contact with Croatian peasants and workers, with whom he shared the horrors and hardships of war, which became a principal theme in many of his writings. Inspired by the 1917 October revolution in Russia, Krleza and other leftist writers founded several short-lived, underground literary journals, including Plamen (1919), Knjizevna republika (1923–27), Danas (1934), and Pecat (1939–40). Despite official restrictions on his works in the period between the World Wars, Krleza proceeded to write not only plays but also novels, poetry, short stories, and essays. He continued to write during World War II, but he refrained from publishing his writings until later. Publicly disgraced after 1945 because he did not actively support the Partisan cause during the war, Krleza was rehabilitated by Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito during the early 1950s and went on to win numerous Yugoslavian literary prizes and several international awards, including the Heder Prize. In 1950 he was named director of the Yugoslav Lexicographic Institute—a position he held for the rest of his life—and from 1955 to 1971 he served as editor-in-chief of Enciklopedija Jugoslavije. In 1967 Krleza actively joined the cause of Croatians to publish in their own dialect, but when Tito issued an edict in 1971 against Croatian political leaders and intellectuals forbidding them to do so, Krleza retreated into silence. He died in Zagreb in 1981.
Major Works
Krleza's early plays, often likened to the romantic, symbolist style of Oscar Wilde, depict historical personages as legendary individuals struggling with self-doubt about their visionary goals and about validation of their ideas by the masses. Legenda portrays the relationship between Jesus and Lazarus's sister, Mary, who suffers unrequited love for Jesus despite the presence of his "shadow," or alter ego, which insists that Jesus betrayed his own self and his true feelings for his high ideals. Mikelangelo Buonarti (1925) presents the artist as the sensitive soul who rejects all earthly delights in favor of solitary pursuit of creative endeavors, while Kristofor Kolombo (1918) represents the explorer as a dreamer aware that his discovery of a new world will certainly succumb to the evils of the old. Themes of the horrors of war, the nullification of the past by a brighter future, and the peace obtained amid native landscapes inform Krleza's poetry collections, most notably Lirika (1919), Knjiga lirike (1932), and Pjeseme u tmini (1937). Written in the dialect of northern Croatia and influenced by Croatian folk poetry, Balade Petrice Kremepuha (1936), regarded as Krleza's formal and stylistic poetic masterpiece, traces the history of Croatian peasants from the 1570s to the 1930s, protesting the consistently intolerable conditions of peasant life under the nobility, the clergy, and the modern bureaucracy. Krleza's short stories and novels contrast the hardships of Croatian peasants with the decadence of the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie. Intended to represent the rise and fall of capitalistic society, a series of eleven stories and three plays describe the history of the Glembay family, whose rise out of peasantry to middle class prosperity is accompanied by moral degeneration. The plays in the so-called "Glembay cycle'" feature the psychological method of dramatist Henrik Ibsen and include Gospoda Glembajevi (1928), Leda (1930), and U agoniji (1931). The novel Povratak Filipa Latinovicza (1932; The Return of Philip Latinovicz) tells the story of a once-renowned painter, who returns to his childhood home after a twenty-year absence and confronts unhappy memories. Similarly, the first-person narrative of Na rubu pameti (1938; On the Edge of Reason) recounts the story of a Zagreb lawyer's alienation from his society, which gradually resolves in his descent into madness. Krleza's other novels, Banket u Blitvi (1938–9) and Zastave (1967), focus on the relationship between the individual and his government, particularly in dictatorships reminiscent of those that came to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Krleza's numerous essays on subjects ranging from politics to literary criticism display his powers of persuasion and his vast, though sometimes inaccurate and biased, knowledge.
Critical Reception
Critics have regarded Krleza as a highly controversial writer, whether on the basis of his literary style and themes or his politics and philosophy. According to Kadic, only a few Central and Southern European critics have emphasized that "Krleza is the real initiator of Yugoslav revisionism." Although most scholars of his native land have recognized Krleza as the most significant Croatian and Yugoslavian writer to emerge during the twentieth century, some have attempted to discredit or minimize his literary and cultural acheivements, particularly for his refusal to accept government interference in cultural and literary domains. Kadic has noted that "Krleza's skirmishes with the 'socialist' theoreticians were just as bitter and dangerous as were those with the bourgeois camp." In the English-speaking West, Krleza remains relatively unknown due to the paucity of his works published in translation. Some critics have maintained that this neglect stems in part from the narrow-mindedness of Western publishers and their public, while others have attributed his obscurity in the West to the ambiguous nature of Krleza's themes and politics. The link between his politics and writings has constituted the central debate among commentators, the majority of whom have remarked on the inherent duality of Krleza's vision, which simultaneously embraces socialist revolutionary ideals and the importance of moral and artistic integrity. Some have stressed the political activist perspective of Krleza's works, arguing that his Marxist leanings show the moral and political inefficacy of the middle class, but others have countered that the common thread throughout his literary corpus affirms an abiding belief in humanist ideals. Kadic has concluded that "Krleza was and shall remain a pivotal figure, and no one interested in twentieth-century Croatian and South Slavic literature can ignore him…. He fully deserves to be ranked among the luminaries of contemporary world literature."

[In the following essay, Kadic provides a thematic and generic overview of Krleza's writings.]
Miroslav Krleza should not be treated as a man of letters only: his significance lies in various fields. One can safely state that his role in the establishment of the Communist dictatorship in Yugoslavia was extremely significant. There is no one who did more than Krleza to discredit bourgeois society and to orient a great number of intellectuals toward socialism.

[In the essay below, Kadic establishes a biographical context for an examination of Krleza's early works, tracing his preoccupation with "tormented" protagonists.]
Since Miroslav Krleza (born in 1893) is the leading Yugoslav Communist writer and as such believes in the progress of mankind and the ultimate victory of the proletariat, Yugoslav critics have been understandably reluctant to analyse his early output, especially the plays written at a time when he was a nihilist and sceptic.

[In the following review, Mihailovich discusses the themes in The Return of Philip Latinovicz, lamenting Krleza's lack of recognition by readers in the West.]
Paris had its Balzac and Zola, Dublin its Joyce, and Croatia has its Miroslav Krleza. Many of his works deal with the tribulations of the Croats under the ungainly Austro-Hungarian Empire. He is one of the two leading Yugoslav writers today (the other is Ivo Andric), a distinction he won almost half a century ago with the short-story collection Croatian God Mars [Hrvatski bog...

Miroslav Krleza (Kirlezha), the formidable Croat who has dominated Yugoslavia's literary landscape for nearly half a century, remains virtually unknown in the West. His is not the only such case and again reflects at least in part the parochialism of Western publishers and their public; but the ambiguities of Krleza's themes and politics have no doubt contributed to the neglect of a writer...

[In the essay below, Ferguson assesses the meaning of The Return of Filip Latinovicz, distinguishing between Krleza's viewpoint and Filip's to suggest the novel's tragic intent.]
The most noticeable feature of criticism of Miroslav Krleza's novel The Return of Filip Latinovicz is the divergence of opinion as to "what the novel is about." Potential difference of opinion appears all the more remarkable when it is considered how little surrounds other Croatian novels regarding "what they are...

[In the following review of The Cricket beneath the Waterfall, the critic comments on Krleza's narrative style.]
The Croatian Miroslav Krleza is among the most neglected of the world's great writers. European critics have long paired him with Bosnian novelist Ivo Andríc, as deserving contenders for the Nobel Prize (Andríc won the Prize, in 1961).
Krleza's stories display the same panoramic density that enlivens Andríc's magisterial chronicles of sturdy Balkan subkingdoms emerging from centuries of...

[In the following essay, Flaker examines the role and various function of food in some of Krleza's works, particularly Balade Petrice Kerempuha and Zastave.]
In his comparison of Krleza's Balade Petrice Kerempuha (The Ballads of Petrica Kerempuh) to the poetry of Eduard Bagrickij, Russian poet from Odessa, Zdravko Malic calls one of the chapters of his study I Consume, Therefore I Am, and, consequently, dubs the "point of view from which the world starts to assume the shape of an object of...

Project Declutter Part I: Chaotic Closets and Laundry Explosions
Pam had some anxiety about parting with certain clothing and accessories. "But she ultimately felt very cleansed and kept saying how it felt so good in the bedroom now," says professional organizer Lorie. One "breakthrough" moment: letting go of a pair of pink leather boots that Pam had had since college—the sole contents of the off-white vintage suitcase atop the pink bin (left). "Her sister and I were just staring at her, going, 'Really? They are too small for your feet!' She realized what I'm always saying: 'Perfectly good' does not necessarily mean 'perfectly good for you.'"

Lorie challenged Pam to reduce her overall wardrobe by 20% and developed this smart solution for displaying Pam's trimmed-down scarf collection in the master bedroom: basic towel bars mounted on the inside of Pam's new French doors, both painted white to match.

Street View Car
When we first started Street View as an experimental project, we packed several computers into the back of an SUV, stuck cameras, lasers, and a GPS device on top, and drove around collecting our first imagery. Since Street View launched for five U.S. cities in May 2007, we've expanded our 360-degree panoramic views to include locations on all seven continents.
We then moved to a van for a brief period, before switching to a fleet of cars that would allow us to scale the project throughout the US and around the world. We went from a rack of computers to one small computer per car, and then set to work refining our camera system to capture higher-resolution panoramic views.
After several iterations of the car and camera technology, the latest car has 15 lenses taking 360 degrees of photos. It also has motion sensors to track its position, a hard drive to store data, a small computer running the system, and lasers to capture 3D data to determine distances within the Street View imagery.
Street View Trike
While we've been able to visit some beautiful places around the world with the Street View car, some of the most interesting and fun places aren't accessible by car. One day while mountain biking, Mechanical Engineer Dan Ratner realized he could combine his favorite hobby with Street View to explore new places, and set to work building a bicycle-based camera system. As a result, we've been able to take the Trike to parks and trails, university campuses, and even sports stadiums.
You can invite the trike to visit so the world can explore your property in Street View.
Street View Trolley
When a group of art-loving Googlers wanted to take Street View technology to museums around the world, we needed to develop a system that could easily fit through museum doorways and navigate around sculptures. We worked to fit all of the equipment on an even smaller frame, a push-cart lovingly dubbed Trolley, and gathered the imagery for you to explore in Google Maps.
Street View Snowmobile
Once we were able to take the Trike to all of these interesting places, we got to thinking about where else we could go and had the idea of putting our Street View equipment on a snowmobile. In typical Google fashion, we were able to put this together over the course of a few weekends using some 2x4s, duct tape, and extra hard drives wrapped in ski jackets to last through the freezing conditions. Fortunately the folks at Whistler Blackcomb were just as enthusiastic, so now you can explore Whistler in Street View.
Be the next Trekker
If you're a tourism board, non-profit, university, research organization or other third party who can gain access and help collect imagery of hard to reach places, you can apply to borrow the Trekker and help map the world.
Apply today
The Trekker enables Street View to feature more places around the world - places no car, trike, trolley or snowmobile can access. This wearable backpack is outfitted with a camera system on top, and its portability enables us to gather images while maneuvering through tight, narrow spaces or locations only accessible by foot. The Trekker is operated by an Android device and consists of 15 lenses angled in a different direction so the images can be stitched together into 360-degree panoramic views. As the operator walks, photos are taken roughly every 2.5 seconds. Our first collection using this camera technology was taken along the rough, rocky terrain of Arizona's Grand Canyon, and like our other Street View platforms, the Trekker proudly features the Google Maps logo.

I am replacing our kitchen faucet and have been looking at the pullouts.
I do use our sprayer a lot so I need one. We take our water from the small lake next
to our house and tho it is filtered(our drinking water is distilled), small particles
still get through. I clean the inflows to the washing machine every few months.
I am concerned that if I get a pullout kitchen faucet and the holes get clogged in the
sprayer, then I may be out an entire faucet. I am now thinking of getting a regular faucet
with the separate sprayer. I would like a better quality sprayer, tho, as the one I am using
now, a Price Pfister, does not have the pressure. With the lesser quality, and maybe all,
sprayers, there is no way to clean the head. I was told at Home Depot that if the sprayer
head gets clogged to just throw it away. Can you recommend a good quality faucet w/sprayer?

Good enough
"I bought these on sale so I am satisfied with the purchase. If I paid full price I might not be. They are definitely cheaply made but they fit and look cute so I'll keep them. I need a sandal to wear with maxi dresses. They are very narrow but my foot is narrow so it works for me. They straps are plastic. I bought them in gold."

I liked it!
"These shoes are definitely made for people with uber narrow feet like mine. I see many people complaining about that, but it actually turned out to be a plus point for me. I got them in Gold, and simply loved it.I wore them just once for a short period of time, so I'm not sure about its comfort level for longer timeframe. But, they were pretty comfortable for as long as I wore them.And above all, the fact that made these shoes super awesome for me, is that I got them absolutely FREE because of my DSW Rewards Certificates.I JUST LOVE DSW!!"

Hi! I'm moving to Bendigo for a full time job and I'm excited to find a new home and housemate to go along with it. I enjoy a pretty balanced lifestyle, I work 9-5 during the week and on weekends I love going on walks and road trips. I'm neat, tidy, organised and friendly. I'm a morning person but definitely get that not everyone is so I'm quite about it. I'm independent but would enjoy sharing an occasional meal or glass of wine. I love animals but don't have any of my own (so if you do that would be a real perk).

thx for the update ch not as good as last weeks but still good. no quadruple krillen this week = epicwin lol
thx for the update ch not as good as last weeks but still good. no quadruple krillen this week = epicwin lol
Awesome, i love this manga more and more with every chapter. Looks like next chap Oga will learn to fight demons though.
funny ch, kinda reminds me of gintama
wonder what oga will learn, maybe well get to see toujo too
Lol their own HQ by way of himekawa, how nice.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
Looks like they have to win now or the world will go up in flames. Nene should NEVER be allowed to play a video game. Geez hand grenades, friendly fire and chainsaw attacks, if she actually knew what she was doing she'd be a pro. It is funny seing how clueless she is, and like Chiaki pointed out her helplessness is cute.
Oga's gradually getting closer to his training. Can't help but feel more interested in the gaming exploits by the group to find out En's whereabouts but it's good to see Oga isn't left out in the cold. Badass Zen is here to teach Oga some moves, and if we're lucky he brought Toujou with him.
Ishiyama's Ogre and Job Hunting Tora are the two strongest fighters Ishiyama has, and would make awesome training partners. Kunieda's got her demon fighting techniques now too, so those three I expect to kick some demon ass next time they come around.
Funny chapter. Even though I thought we would've seen some Oga training this chapter it was still good.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
Next ep is out! Isn't really extremely great but it'l do i suppose, the filler had good moments but that's about it for me.

A lot of things about Burning Man could be considered overwhelming: the heat, the diversity of activities available at every waking moment, the sheer magnitude of the desert. The thing this first-time Burner found the most overwhelming (in the good way) was the presence of the maker spirit everywhere I looked. Practically everything that makes its way to Black Rock City is made by hand, and most of it is made just because nothing quite like it has ever been made before.
The joy of making is palpable on the Playa, and it's one of the things that makes Burning Man (like Maker Faire) so special.
Even though I'm still busy cleaning desert dust from my boots, I wanted to share some of my favorite sights with you.Start the Slideshow

GDB LIII: the mediocre Battle of Alberta
January 30 2010 05:21PM
If the image above were even remotely true, the mediocre Oilers would feel empowered, even emboldened by their shameful performance over the last, oh, two months. But with 12 losses in a row, mediocre's probably too generous a word.
How about downright sucky? That's right. This team right now is one Simpsons reference from being the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.
But fear not, Nation, for there is still hope. And that hope lies in the fact that Calgary's star as fallen faster than every teenaged girl's panties when they hear the name Edward Cullen.*
The Calgary Flames are 1-6-3 in their last ten. While their misguided attempt to mimic the DFF has a flattering tone to it, let's be realistic. They are the superior team tonight. What they have in terms of, you know, hockey players, we need to come at with grit, heart, crust and whatever ever sports metaphor is appropriate at this moment.
But make no mistake. As Gregor pointed out yesterday, this is the battle of the losers. True bottom of the barrel sports on CBC's famous Hockey Day In Canada.
Puck drop
Dubnyk gets the start tonight in the 2010 Edmonton Oilers Goalie Crap Shoot™, but regardless of who stands in goal tonight, the odds are not in the Oilers' favour, as they've dropped all Battle of Alberta series' this season to the Flames.
Comrie's out again, even though he played against St. Louis last game. Mono will do that to you, and I imagine Comrie's frustrated as hell. He's a high-powered athlete, and this illness has reduced him to a bag of skin and bones. If nothing else, I'm hoping Comrie's eventually complete recover and return to the line-up will help reinvigorate this team some.
Something has to.
What else?
If you're feeling like a bit of a glutton for punishment, you can join Gregor and some of the other Nationeers at the Pint tonight, where they'll no doubt be shouting at the television with such vim and vigour that they'd probably field a more passionate team of hockey players than the Mighty Oil.
Me, I'll be at home looking for an upset win tonight. A win that means I won't feel totally upset is what I'm saying.
Somehow, the Oil win this one 3-1 tonight.
*This twilight reference brought to you by my young cousin, who will speak of nothing else.
January 31 2010, 02:41AM
6-1 huh?
*murders Paul Brandt*
Small town, big dreams indeed.........
He's not a "hot commodity" who's going to overpay for a guy that likely isn't going to hit double digits for goals?
But he is on the radar. He isnt Kovy but teams are interested...

Will and Tammy Payne wanted to sponsor a family friendly event that brings everyone out for a good time. The county is always in need of new events and things for families to do, so they want to encourage everyone to come out and enjoy this exciting event in its fourth year at the Huntington arena on Sept. 28.
It might be your last chance to get out and enjoy the fall weather before winter sets in.

With the help of past sponsorship, we were able to make most children's events free to participants, with each child receiving something for their participation.
The children's rodeo was well received and gave local children, whom may otherwise never get the opportunity, a chance to have a rodeo experience.
Event organizers said, "We want to have low ticket prices so families can afford to come and enough added money to attract good quality riders to put on a great show.
"This year we will be including belt buckles for our rough stock event winners. It is important to us that this be a family event with good entertainment.
The kids rodeo action begins at 4-6 p.m. with a stick horse barrel race that is open to all children who would like to participate. Mutton bustin, junior barrels, calf riding, chicken chase, cash calf, and mini bull riding will take place. Call if you want to enter the mini-bulls.
The main event begins at 7 p.m. It might be chilly so bring a jacket and come catch the fun of the rough stock events.
If you'd like to try the hide race or the other events you can call Tammy at 749-1471 to register.

In the third period, Green river again outscored Altamont by a score of 16-10 to be all tied up going into the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, the effort could not continue and the Pirates lost the game by 19 as Altamont won the period 25-6.
Tyson Johnson led the team with 19 points and Brennan Bigelow scored 11 points to also finish in double figures. Luis Mendoza and Kayden Mecham each had 8 points and Jason Johnson scored 4 points.
Green River won their second region contest with the win over Monument Valley. Green River took a 22-9 first quarter lead and then continued to increase it over the rest of the game.
Tyson again led the team in scoring, this time with 24 points. All five starters finished in double figures in this game. Brennan scored 17 points, Jason scored 16 points, Luis scored 13 points and Kayden scored 12 points.
The girls finish up their season play against Navajo Mountain this Friday night and then wait for state. The boys are scheduled to play Dugway and Whitehorse in the near future.

Holiday Sparkle
"I actually bought these shoes on a whim after searching the Clearance section by size, but they are wonderful! They do run just a bit on the small side, but not so much so that you need to buy a size down... just plan on wearing them 2 or 3 times to stretch them out before your big fancy party. These were my best friends throughout the holidays, adding just enough glitter to any outfit to always look festive. =]"

Had to have them
"What a great shoe. Goes with everything. I did go up a half size. The first try were too short. I haven't worn them yet and I hope they are as comfy as the other reviews say"

A little bit of sparkle never hurt anyone...
"I bought these on the thought that I needed new black flats for my retail job. It was just a bonus that they were my favorite brand and they GLITTER! They were fairly comfortable, but run a little small which surprised me since lately Rocket Dogs have been running big. They seemed to rub on the back of my heels too so I would suggest breaking them in before wearing them to work."

Reviews of this property
Everything was well organized in advance, I had all the documents - but left home ... A few phone calls and all was well! The apartment was exactly as described, on the second day the water came from, but a large bottle of water was already at the arrival and we were also informed quickly when the waterworks would likely finish the repair. So a fine juicer like the house where I'm going to get me too! I, my daughter and my grandson are completely satisfied! It was the first but not the last time!
Alles war im Vorfeld gut organisiert, ich hatte alle Unterlagen - aber Zuhause gelassen ... Ein paar Telefonate und alles war gut! Die Wohnung war genau wie beschrieben, am zweiten Tag fiel das Wasser aus, aber eine große Wasserflasche stand bei der Anreise bereits und wir wurden auch schnell informiert, wann die Wasserwerke voraussichtlich mit der Reparatur fertig würden. So eine feine Saftpresse wie im Haus dort werde ich mir auch besorgen! Ich, meine Tochter und mein Enkel sind vollauf zufrieden! Es war das erste aber nicht das letzte Mal!
The flat was like it is showed in the pictures, very confortable and had the basic things you need for your stay. It is also close to a very beautiful cala.
To have a car is a must, since it is located in a little town outside of porto Cristo.
We found some welcoming orange juice, water and cookies, which I found nice and was very much appreciated.
We had an issue with the Wlan, I called the company and they tried to fix it as soon as possible.
Reviews for this host's other properties
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!

Perfect fit
"I needed trainers for flat feet, and after some research had a short list of good brands, including this one. I've now worn them several times to work out, and I definitely notice a difference - my feet and ankles feel more stable. Worth every penny I paid for them."

The perfect going-out bag.
"I own this bag in two colors and have bought several other Audrey Brooke shoulder bags like it at DSW. It has a good amount of space, while still being stylish. I no longer carry clutches because bags like this are so much easier to keep consistent track of when you are out and about. There are enough pockets to keep valuables organized and for the price, this REAL LEATHER bag truly gives you the most for your money. At department stores, a bag of similar size and style would cost you 3-4 times more than this one. I constantly get compliments on this bag and will definitely be buying more like it in the future!"

Bills QB Watch: Aaron Murray
by Howard Simon
posted Nov 29 2012 12:00AM
Chan Gailey says the Bills are looking to develop a quarterback for the future but the Head Coach added he doesn't think its the "near future". Here's hoping Gailey's definition of the "near future" is limited to the remainder of the 2012 season.
This weekend, you have a chance to personally evaluate a quarterback who the Bills should consider for the future, if indeed he declares for the draft. Georgia's Aaron Murray will face Alabama in the SEC title game Saturday at 4pm.
Murray is a junior and has given no indication as to whether or not he will return for one final season with the Bulldogs or place his name in consideration for the 2013 NFL draft. At this point, Murray is not considered a first rounder by most draft experts but my guess is that would change if he has a big game against a very strong Crimson Tide defense.
I fired up the DVR this week and watched Georgia's game against in state rival Georgia Tech from last Saturday. There were a number of things to like about Murray although the game was a clear mismatch as the Bulldogs dominated the Yellow Jackets in a 42-10 victory.
Murray, who is listed at 6-1, 210 pounds, showed a strong arm, good accuracy, command of the offense(as a third year starter should) and solid recognition skills as he deciphered what the Yellow Jackets were showing. Murray's decision making was strong throughout the game as he led Georgia to touchdowns on six of their first seven possessions.
The Tampa, Florida native ran the no huddle extremely well and ran it at different tempos, sometimes getting the snap off very fast while other times using a few more seconds to see what the defense was showing and bark out instructions to his teammates. He operated with equal success out of the shotgun and under center.
On one first half drive he did miss what should have been an easy 20 yard touchdown because his pass was off target for a receiver by the goal line. Georgia still scored a touchdown on that drive and Murray came back on the very next possession and threw a perfect deep ball, traveling about 45 yards in the air. It went for a 63 yard gain and would have been an 85 yard touchdown but his receiver stumbled shortly after making the catch and was tackled.
Murray made nice plays on two other TD passes. The first coming on a play where he had to sprint to his left to avoid some pressure. Murray, the nation's leader in passing efficiency, turned back to his right so he could set and make a perfect throw to the left corner of the end zone.
In another instance, Murray showed good patience and poise in the pocket. He saw a favorable matchup with a tight end facing a safety and waited for the tight end to get some separation. Murray then led him perfectly on a 24 yard TD toss.
He also showed the ability to make throws outside the numbers with accuracy. Murray was also adept at getting the ball out on time although he didn't face much pressure because the Bulldogs offensive line dominated Georgia Tech's defensive line. There was only one time where Murray held on to the ball too long and took a sack.
His career in Athens, Georgia has been an impressive one. Murray is the first quarterback in SEC history to record three straight 3,000 yard passing seasons. He is 5th all time in the SEC in touchdowns(89) and pass yards (9,399). He's led the Bulldogs to back to back SEC East titles after a 6-7 season during his freshman year.
Murray made the SEC ALL Freshman team in 2010 after throwing for 24 touchdowns. In 2011, he was without stud receiver A.J. Green who left early for the NFL yet his touchdown total increased to 35 and he earned ALL SEC 2nd team honors.
One of the knocks on Murray was that he took too many chances. After throwing just 8 interceptions as a freshman, he was picked off 14 times in 2011. But this season, Murray has improved his decision making and isn't trying to force passes into tight windows. His interception total has dropped down to just 7.
Murray will also face questions about his size since he is 6-1 and that might be generous since teams have been know to fudge a bit with heights and weights. But remember that Drew Brees is only 6-0 and Seattle's rookie starter Russell Wilson is 5-11.
One other criticism is his performance in "big" games and thats why Saturday's SEC Championship game is so important. Murray was awful in last years SEC title matchup against LSU, going 16-40 for 163 yards, one touchdown and 2 interceptions.
In two key matchups this season, he did not fare well either. In the Bulldogs lone loss of the season, at South Carolina, Murray was 11-31, 109 yards, no TD's and 1 INT. Georgia beat arch rival Florida but Murray was only 12-24, 150 yards, 1TD and 3 INT's. Good news though as Murray has not been picked off since that game with the Gators.
He has never faced Alabama in his 3 year career and the Tide have one of the best defensive units in the country. A win and a strong performance could lead to Murray sky rocketing up the charts in a year where there are no clear cut, stars in the waiting in the collegiate quarterback crop.
