England put last year's humbling in Cardiff to rest with an assured performance in their 29-18 victory over Wales on Sunday.
England put last year's humbling in Cardiff to rest with an assured performance in their 29-18 victory over Wales at Twickenham on Sunday.
First-half tries from Danny Care and Luther Burrell gave England the early advantage and they never looked back, keeping the lead throughout as Owen Farrell and Leigh Halfpenny fought each other in a world-class kicking duel.
There is no longer any doubt though; Wales are not the best team in Europe anymore. Bar their breakdown prowess, which was exceptional, crucial failures at key times in the scrum, line-out and defence brought the two-time champions title defence to an end.
Had it not been for soft penalties conceded by England in the opening 40 then the scoreline would have read even less in Wales' favour. Against Scotland there is now an opportunity for Warren Gatland to experiment.
For England it was all about progress. Even had they lost, which they should never have done based on their performance in the first-half, there were enough encouraging moments to keep believing that they are still building towards next year.
The likes of Joe Launchbury, Courtney Lawes and Owen Farrell have all stepped up a level and in doing so secured England's first Triple Crown since 2003.
England's opening break came from the most unlikely of sources; David Wilson cantering into space and laying the platform for Care to eventually catch Wales off guard with a trademark tap penalty.
Starting the match at a million miles an hour had Wales napping, but England's ambition then became over-exuberance. Attempting to play out of their own 22, Wales won a penalty at the breakdown for Halfpenny to slot over from out on the right.
Wales were nervy. The small parts of their game, tiny knock-ons included, were a hindrance.
Jonathan Davies' pass to George North went just behind him – had it gone to hand then England would have been in trouble. North still had a chance with a grubber only to watch it roll dead.
It was England's turn now to win a penalty at the scrum, Richard Hibbard popping up to allow Farrell to restore the home side's seven-point advantage.
Jonny May then embarked on one of his cross-field runs. Even the Gloucester wing admits he doesn't always know where his breaks will take him, but when isolated over on the far side – after some brilliant tracking defence from Jamie Roberts – Wales won the penalty at the breakdown for Halfpenny to kick his second three-pointer.
England's attack however kept Wales working, the likes of Sam Warburton racking up tackles but a discrepancy was never far away. Farrell added another penalty to restore that seven-point gap – 13-6 to England coming up to the half hour.
There was sparkle from Wales thanks to a burst from Roberts into space, but the breakdown remained their main source of points. Nowell ran into the same lair that scuppered May moments earlier, Wales too savvy in that area to let a chance slip as another penalty followed from Halfpenny. He never looked like missing.
Billy Twelvetrees then displayed a similarly perfect touch with the boot. Farrell's kick had pinned Wales back into a corner and when Warburton failed to reel in the ball at the line-out, England pounced. The grubber from Twelvetrees bounced up kindly for Burrell to score his third try in four games.
Halfpenny still couldn't miss, adding two more penalties before half-time arrived to leave Wales five points adrift at the break.
England though now controlled the scrum. Consecutive penalties pushed the hosts from within their 22 to a 30-metre shot at goal for Farrell which put England 23-15 ahead.
Wales were chasing, and not very well. First, a horrendous kick from Roberts killed an overlap on the outside from which Wales should have scored. Then they lost Gethin Jenkins to the bin on his 104th cap, something referee Romain Poite looked to have been itching to do for some time.
Halfpenny countered Farrell's fourth penalty with his seventh, but Wales were again penalised for Farrell to keep the champions at arm's length at 29-18.
It took Wales until the 61st minute to replace struggling Rhys Priestland. His game management paled sorely in comparison to that of Farrell, who continually appeared to thread kicks into the corners.
With the likes of Mike Phillips, Dan Biggar and Paul James now on Wales had a jolt of intensity, a reminder for England that the job was not yet done.
A break from turnover ball deep in England's half nearly ended in a second try for Burrell, Halfpenny doing enough to keep him out with a try-saving tackle that saw him depart with an injury.
There was no time though for Wales to respond. Instead an ecstatic Twickenham crowd savoured the closing minutes, with the side now heading to Rome hoping for a favour off France and with their title hopes still alive. For Wales, there are more questions than answers.
Man of the Match: With a barn-storming afternoon filled with huge tackles and some impressive carries, Courtney Lawes stood taller than anyone else. This though was a team effort.
Moment of the Match: The fastest start. England flew out of the blocks and with Wales bewildered, Danny Care made them pay to give them the lead.
Villian of the Match: Refereeing interpretations at the scrum are always up for debate but after Gethin Jenkins had already been warned, he should either have been brought off or adjusted. From the moment he went to the bin the result was settled.

The quality that drew so many investors to gold the last decade — its ability to march to a different beat than stocks — may be the biggest danger to the metal's price.
History suggests that if stocks continue to rise, gold will fall behind, since its price tends to fare best, in the words of Citigroup strategists, "when attitudes toward corporate shares are weak." That conclusion, at any rate, is based on Citi's look at 128 years of relative prices.
The chart Citi's Tobias M. Levkovich and colleagues Lorraine M. Schmitt and Christina Wood published this morning shows how many ounces of gold it has taken to buy a given unit of stocks since 1886. A rise in the trend means stocks are outperforming gold.
The sharp gains in the stock market since the financial crisis may feel extraordinary, but by Levkovich's measure they're not.
The stock market hasn't reached the long-term average versus gold, much less has it gotten to an area where suggesting trouble for stocks. That would be the one standard-deviation point that was hit and exceeded during the tech bubble, in the 1950s-early 1970s, and prior to the Great Depression.
All of which could mean sequels in the coming years to 2013′s 28% slump in the price of gold, the metal's worst annual performance in more than three decades.
From Citi's strategists:
When the S&P 500 hit its tech bubble driven highs in 2000, its relative gains were more than one standard deviation above average trend and that is not the case now. Indeed, there still appears to be a fair amount of room for the recent relative price pattern to continue as the bounce off of more than one standard deviation below trend has only just begun.
Checking in on gold- and precious-metals and mining funds during a gold-bullish kickoff to the New Year, SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) are gaining 1.8% and 3.2%, respectively.
Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is ahead by 3.6%. Leveraged ETFs Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) are moving by more than 10% apiece.

There is so much bad advice in this thread, I hope GF is taking everything with a grain of salt. I'm disappointed Pio hasn't shown up to debunk the leasing misstatements. Generally I'm in agreement with username79's line of reasoning in this thread. I don't want to hand out advice here because I don't have much to add at this point and it seems GF has changed his tune but I would point out that to me the most salient information was that GF wasn't going to be driving the car much. Leasing a car makes a lot more sense when you're relatively close to the number of miles you are paying for - it sucks to pay for 10k a year and only drive 3k. I do want to point out a couple of things to the advice givers who seem to be missing the point and should probably reconsider their admonitions: 1. No maintenance costs on a BMW the first 4 years - therefore none over the course of a lease. Similarly - gas will be roughly the same for t he BMW as most other cars. We're not talking huge dollars here, particularly since GF said he won't be driving on a daily basis. 2. Lots of people (myself included) would hesitate to own a BMW outside of the warranty period because maintenance can quickly add up. Just look at the BMW horror stories thread. You could get a used BMW that's screwed together great and only requires minimum maintenance, or you could be like everyone I know with a BMW that routinely spends large sums for things that are "never supposed to break." 3. Why do people think leasing is so bad? $590 for a month for that car is a pretty good deal - and he'd only be on the hook for 27 months. I don't know if that 590 includes an amortized down payment or if that assumes you're putting $$ down as well - GF really need to tell us the whole story to get a sense as to what you were planning. 4. Everyone who was arguing based on the retail price of the car being high should be disregarded. The purchase price by and large doesn't matter to GF - only the amount he's paying to rent the car for 27 months. 5. To the guy who said he would aim to save 75% of his take home - for GF that would mean limiting spending to around $1k a month (see norcaltransplant's analysis above). How is $1k in Boston a reasonable goal? Even $2k a month. If GF could save $1k a month at this point, that would be great. Maybe you were pissing in the wind and saying that people who make 300k can easily live on 25-50% of their take home, I don't know - but clearly it doesn't apply to someone making 75k in Boston. 6. GF will have plenty of friends blowing $600 a month on drugs, booze, food, clothes, etc. If he forgoes all of that for a car, more power to him. If he wants to have it all, obviously finances will be tight with the car. Everyone has to make their own decisions. 7. Without calling anyone out in particular - if you are reading this thread and don't understand how tax withholding works, please make sure you have a good accountant, and read this: http://www.consumerismcommentary.com...-on-bonus-pay/

I ask Kembaren if he is comfortable with the idea of two cannibals accompanying us. "Most of the porters have probably eaten human flesh," he answers with a smile.
Kembaren leads me down to the Ndeiram Kabur River, where we board a long, slender pirogue. I settle in the middle, the sides pressing against my body. Two Korowai paddlers stand at the stern, two more at the bow, and we push off, steering close by the riverbank, where the water flow is slowest. Each time the boatmen maneuver the pirogue around a sandbar, the strong current in the middle of the river threatens to tip us over. Paddling upriver is tough, even for the muscular boatmen, and they frequently break into Korowai song timed to the slap of the paddles against the water, a yodeling chant that echoes along the riverbank.
High green curtains of trees woven with tangled streamers of vine shield the jungle. A siren scream of cicadas pierces the air. The day passes in a blur, and night descends quickly.
And that's when we are accosted by the screaming men on the riverbank. Kembaren refuses to come to their side of the river. "It's too dangerous," he whispers. Now the two Korowai armed with bows and arrows are paddling a pirogue toward us. I ask Kembaren if he has a gun. He shakes his head no.
As their pirogue bumps against ours, one of the men growls that laleo are forbidden to enter their sacred river, and that my presence angers the spirits. Korowai are animists, believing that powerful beings live in specific trees and parts of rivers. The tribesman demands that we give the clan a pig to absolve the sacrilege. A pig costs 350,000 rupiahs, or about $40. It's a Stone Age shakedown. I count out the money and pass it to the man, who glances at the Indonesian currency and grants us permission to pass.
What use is money to these people? I ask Kembaren as our boatmen paddle to safety upriver. "It's useless here," he answers, "but whenever they get any money, and that's rare, the clans use it to help pay bride prices for Korowai girls living closer to Yaniruma. They understand the dangers of incest, and so girls must marry into unrelated clans."
About an hour farther up the river, we pull up onto the bank, and I scramble up a muddy slope, dragging myself over the slippery rise by grasping exposed tree roots. Bailom and the porters are waiting for us and wearing worried faces. Bailom says that the tribesmen knew we were coming because they had intercepted the porters as they passed near their treehouses.
Would they really have killed us if we hadn't paid up? I ask Bailom, through Kembaren. Bailom nods: "They'd have let you pass tonight because they knew you'd have to return downriver. Then, they'd ambush you, some firing arrows from the riverbank and others attacking at close range in their pirogues."
The porters string all but one of the tarpaulins over our supplies. Our shelter for the night is four poles set in a square about four yards apart and topped by a tarp with open sides. Soon after midnight a downpour drenches us. The wind sends my teeth chattering, and I sit disconsolately hugging my knees. Seeing me shivering, Boas pulls my body against his for warmth. As I drift off, deeply fatigued, I have the strangest thought: this is the first time I've ever slept with a cannibal.
We leave at first light, still soaked. At midday our pirogue reaches our destination, a riverbank close by the treehouse, or khaim, of a Korowai clan that Kembaren says has never before seen a white person. Our porters arrived before us and have already built a rudimentary hut. "I sent a Korowai friend here a few days ago to ask the clan to let us visit them," Kembaren says. "Otherwise they'd have attacked us."
I ask why they've given permission for a laleo to enter their sacred land. "I think they're as curious to see you, the ghost-demon, as you are to see them," Kembaren answered.
At midafternoon, Kembaren and I hike 30 minutes through dense jungle and ford a deep stream. He points ahead to a treehouse that looks deserted. It perches on a decapitated banyan tree, its floor a dense latticework of boughs and strips of wood. It's about ten yards off the ground. "It belongs to the Letin clan," he says. Korowai are formed into what anthropologists call patriclans, which inhabit ancestral lands and trace ownership and genealogy through the male line.
A young cassowary prances past, perhaps a family pet. A large pig, flushed from its hiding place in the grass, dashes into the jungle. "Where are the Korowai?" I ask. Kembaren points to the treehouse. "They're waiting for us."
I can hear voices as I climb an almost vertical pole notched with footholds. The interior of the treehouse is wreathed in a haze of smoke rent by beams of sunlight. Young men are bunched on the floor near the entrance. Smoke from hearth fires has coated the bark walls and sago-leaf ceiling, giving the hut a sooty odor. A pair of stone axes, several bows and arrows and net bags are tucked into the leafy rafters. The floor creaks as I settle cross-legged onto it.

Synaxis of The Three Hierarchs: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, & John Chrysostom
The Gospel according to Matthew 5:14-19
The Lord said to his disciples, "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Twitter/Facebook Blind Item – August 13, 2012
What former A list singer is already telling friends what his current girlfriend/A list singer is like in bed?
John Mayer/Katy Perry
She sure is a girl that likes a challenge….ReplyCancel
John can just not shut up. But maybe she likes it. See what I did there?ReplyCancel
I actually like Katy Perry (remember that video of her singing with the autistic girl). I hope she finds someone worthy of her and stops messing around with this dumb dumb.ReplyCancel
Of course he would, but the question is, is she better than sexual napalm Jessica?ReplyCancel
Ruuuuuunnnn, Katy, Ruuuunnnn!!!ReplyCancel
Katy, Katy, Katy…………..ReplyCancel
Not a surprise.
What is up with Katy and dating guys that need saving? Florence Nightingale Syndrome much?
Her first bf was mentally unstable and is now dead after killing someone, the one after that was a drug addict (the singer guy), Russell battled different addictions and is still a huge sex addict. Mayer is a douche and player (possibly sex addict, but I think he is just a douche).
Katy and Rihanna were bff's. No wonder, both horrible dysfunctional taste in men.ReplyCancel
@Munch: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I almost barfed! hahahahaaReplyCancel
Dia that is the only time I have ever liked Katy Perry. She melted my cold heart for a nanosecond and then I was back to detesting everything she does.
I can't explain why but lately I have been finding John to be really sexy. Dirty sexy though. As in you're really hot and I would enjoy penetrating you but I never will because I value the health and safety of my vagina.ReplyCancel
rumor is John is amazing in bed and women get dicktamatized by his 9 inches (allegedly)
so he has that going for himReplyCancel
Women talk about a guy's prowess in bed all the time,why do they get upset when guys relay the same info???ReplyCancel
(All I remember is him saying he had done nothing at all to deserve that and had no clue where this was coming from. And then she said something like he's presumptuous to assume the song was even about him. Usually he just says she was a great lay but it didn't work…)ReplyCancel
@Amy I'm not sure where you read that, but if you take a look at his Rolling Stones interview it sure doesn't sound like he's denying something happened between them. He just said that he was humiliated by it, and if they never dated, why would he be humiliated? There's plenty of evidence out there that something was going on.ReplyCancel
how can relieving yourself on one another be considered "Good in bed"?? Gross, grossReplyCancel
I always thought he got a bad rap for the interview.I was trying to be funny.Basically,he was stating his preference for dating white girls which is very Un-political Correct these days.For some reason, a white person having a preference (food,music,dating,etc) means they hate or discriminate against everthing else or that's the perception that's given.ReplyCancel
@Kendall T: Lets not forget the actor guy who killed his grandmother and cat, and then jumped of the roof of his house. Also an ex of Katy.ReplyCancel
Johnny Lewis was his name.
Oddly enough he also died in the OC by falling of something. Sad
He was better way back when he kept his mouth shut and wasn't known for who he was dating. Ugh.ReplyCancel
why IS this a blind? John Mayer told his friends how a girl was in bed? (Clutching lace hanky and pearls) Say it ain't so!!ReplyCancel
@Bee Costello ; True. That was also the only time he had hits.
I can't even remember his latest song, I only remember him dating Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston and Katy Perry. He thinks he is some kind of Don Juan I guess.
Awsome word!ReplyCancel
I get that he's trying to be funny .. I guess between friends it could be funny? Maybe ? But out of context it comes across like he generally does.. Douchey. And I was saying I share my sex life with my friends as well so it's really no big deal.
Mj – don't be hatin – jamie Kennedy " malibu's most wanted "ReplyCancel
That wasn't his grandmother, she was his landlord.

Wakeling wrote the history in pageant form for the Toquerville Homecoming of Sept. 3, 1949.
Readers wanting more information about Toquerville's history would also find Wesley Larson's five- volume History of Toquerville quite helpful.
As the early founders of Utah left the territorial capital of Salt Lake City to establish settlements throughout the Great Basin, they were always on the look-out for other desirable sites and routinely reported their findings to Brigham Young who was the territorial governor and president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Young also kept his eye open for establishing new communities during his tour of established settlements throughout the Utah Territory.
"As time passed, organized companies of explorers, scouts, traders, and missionaries to the Indians penetrated to districts unknown to Utahns," Wakeling writes.
In 1857, she stated that Cedar City resident Isaac Haight sent scouts south along what would later become known as Ash Creek. They returned with a favorable report of the area.
Then in 1858, Haight called Joshua T. Willis, who was living in Ft. Harmony, to colonize what would become Toquerville, along with Wesley Willis and Josiah Reeves. A few days later, John M. Higbee and Samuel Pollock would follow, Wakeling wrote.
They had been at Ash Creek only a few days when the Charles Stapley family arrived from San Bernadino, Calif. At that time, Joshua T. Willis was appointed president of the company which became a branch of Old Fort Harmony.
Lower on Ash Creek, they found a small piece of ground being cultivated by Indian who called themselves Piute or Toquite, meaning black. "The name is very appropriate when we consider its surroundings. Toquerville is at the base of a large mountain of black volcanic rock on the east separating Ash Creek from LaVerkin Creek," she stated.
"Roads were built, ditches dug and water conveyed to the parched land that had been cleared of brush. These people had the spirit of devotion, determination and obedience to the principles to make the desert blossom as a rose," Wakeling added.
Because of its semi-tropical climate, residents were able to plant grapes, figs, squash and melons. Meanwhile, Stapley furnished the first alfalfa seed and the first sweet potatoes were planted and raised by Joshua Willis and John Nebeker.
On Nov. 16, 1861, Joshua Willis called as bishop of the newly created Toquerville Ward. Residents there began to raise cotton and took their cotton to the cotton mill in Washington, Utah, where it was made into cloth.
Also, by the spring of 1859, a mail route was extended to Toquerville with John McFarland as postmaster. Wakeling stated that Toquerville became the first post office south of Cedar City.
The first homes in Toquerville were constructed of logs filled with mud. Because of flooding in the area, Wakeling notes that a number of families got discouraged and moved to Kanarraville.
By 1865, the Deseret News in Salt Lake City reported that a number of acres had been planted into wheat, corn, cane, lucern, vineyards, peaches, cotton, tobacco and vegetables and that 41 families and 259 residents were living in Toquerville.
In 1866, the cornerstone for the Toquerville Church was laid. It later became known as Toquerville Hall. A year later, streets were laid out throughout the community.
Wakeling also notes that in 1887, Toquerville was raided by U.S. Marshals who were searching for polygamists.
By Dec. 31, 1900, there were 50 families living in Toquerville, Wakeling writes, with nearly all residents being Mormon, "although the Presbiterian honor this place with a teacher, Fanny Rosilia Burk who was also postmaster. For years, she rang her bell (which stood on her porch) every Sunday, but no one came, still she sent in her reports and drew her salary," Wakeling wrote.
Toquerville residents also tried raising silk worms to promote the silk industry. Brigham Young also sent Edwin R. Lamb for coopers to make barrels of wine and molasses.
"The produce from the farms found a ready market among the northern towns and flourishing mining town of Pioche, Nevada, 100 miles distant," she writes. "Later in the new mining town of Silver Reef, five miles west, opened a ready market and furnished employment in various ways."
When Toquerville was first settled, it was located in Washington County, but when a division was made, Toquerville was placed in Kane County and Toquerville became the county seat. In 1883, Toquerville was taken out of Kane County and placed back in Washington County.
Wakeling also notes that four Mormon Battalion families settled in Toquerville: Augustus E. Dodge, Levi Savage, John Steel and John C. Naegle.
Dodge was a horticulturist while Steel was a boot and shoemaker. Savage was an early pioneer and builder. Naegle was called by church leaders to make wine for the LDS sacramental services.
Wakeling also paid tribute to the wives of many of the men who settled Toquerville as the women engaged in drying fruit, "planting seeds, weaving, spinning, making the clothes for the entire family, administering to the sick, mid wives and caring for the dead. Praise to their courage, love and devotion."
At the 1949 homecoming in Toquerville, Wakeling wrote this tribute of her town:
"This is our town. Land of our birth. This is our town. Grandest spot on earth. We pledge thee our alliegiance. Our town the bold. This is our town. To have and to hold."

Best By Far
"I have owned "skate shoes" before and by far these take the cake. I don't feel any seams inside the foot bed like I do in some VANS shoes on the edges which is a major plus. The sole of the shoe is completely flat, so don't expect arch support-- which is great for me-- some shoes just have too much arch support. The shoe is very well made and super comfy! I wear these with just about every outfit I have, even if it doesn't "go together". I am thinking about buying another pair-- these are now my go to shoes when I want comfort and wear-ability. The whole shoe is canvas so if you try on another version of this shoe in another Chelsea style know that the toe is not leather/faux leather like in other models-- it is canvas-- so the toe protection is a bit different. Also, it is an easy slip on and off if you have the laces loose. By far an awesome shoe!"

Urban Options - Choices for California Commuters
Traffic congestion costs Californians millions of dollars each year in wasted time and fuel, delivery delays, pollution, and stress. According to a study by the Texas Transportation Institute, which looked at the nation's largest cities, Los Angeles topped the list for annual congestion costs. Based on the value of time delay as perceived by motorists and the cost of fuel wasted in traffic, congestion costs L.A. residents $8.6 billion a year!
California is home to four of the nation's 10-most congested urban areas - Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, and the San Bernardino-Riverside area.
The public, however, has been reticent to leave their private vehicles. As Jeff Jacoby, a columnist with The Boston Globe, wrote in an "Op-Ed" piece in The Sacramento Bee,
"Americans are not being obstinate. It makes sense to prefer private cars to public trains and buses. Cars and highways are available 24 hours a day. They go virtually everywhere....They sharply reduce travel time - nationwide, the average mass transit commute takes 42 minutes, while the average commuter driving to work makes it in only 20 minutes....It isn't a 'love affair' with cars that keeps Americans behind the wheel. It is the freedom, flexibility and efficiency that automobiles provide...."
But with the rising cost of fuel - above $3.00 per gallon in the late summer of 2005 - many people are thinking about their "other" choices. And these options can also save energy. Check out these areas:
- Air Travel
- Buses and Mass Transit
- Car Pool / Ridesharing
- High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes
- Neighborhood Electric Vehicles

Cartier Castle
- Address:
Place Albert I 38
- MAPS: Google Maps
Cartier Castle stands at the confluence of the Sambre and Eau d'Heure rivers. Its buildings, made from stone and painted brick, form an L-shape.
In the early 17th century, the Honoré family built a château on the site of a former seigniorial dwelling. The Briffoz, Crissegnée and de Wal families were to follow.
In 1695 it was bought by Guillaume Bliquin, an ironmaster. He undertook improvements to the property and his coat of arms can still be seen on the entrance porch.
His daughter, Marie-Agnès Bliquin, married Jean-Louis Cartier. Thus, in 1726, the seigniory passed to the Cartier family and remained in their possession for two centuries.
The château, which burned down in 1932 was bought by the Marchienne-au-Pont Local Authorities in 1938. Today, it houses the public library.

U.S. merchants increased European web sales by 14% last year.
U.S. web merchants continue to focus on Europe, collectively the world's biggest e-commerce market, seeking online growth. But as a group, U.S. web merchants ranked in the newly published 2013 Europe 500 didn't grow as fast as total European e-commerce sales.
The 40 U.S. companies ranked among Europe 500 retailers increased their combined sales about 14.0% to $27.13 billion in 2012 from $23.80 billion in 2011. But that increase is below the growth rate of all Europe 500 merchants, whose sales increased year over year 17.0% to $122.74 billion from $104.89 billion. U.S. web merchants ranked in the Europe 500 also didn't grow as much as total European e-commerce sales, which increased 16.0% to an estimated $302.20 billion (232.17 billion euros), says research firm Centre for Retail Research
In 2012 U.S. web retailers accounted for about 22.1% of all Europe 500 sales, nearly the same as in 2011. Excluding Amazon, the web sales of all remaining U.S. merchants totaled 7.3% in 2012 and 8.0% in 2011. In comparison, the 10 biggest European web retailers from France, Germany and the U.K.—Otto Group (No. 2), Home Retail Group (No. 4), Tesco Stores (No. 5), Groupe Casino (No. 7), Tengelmann (No. 8), Shop Direct Group (No. 9), Sainsburys (No. 10), Vente-Privee.com (No. 11), Group 3SI (No. 12) and John Lewis Plc (No. 13)—grew their combined sales year over year 17.6% to $27.77 billion from $23.62 billion and accounted for 22.6% and 22.5%, respectively, of all Europe 500 sales in in each of the last two years.
The biggest U.S. web merchant ranked in the Europe 500—Amazon.com—increased its European web sales 19.4% year over year to $16.11 billion from $13.49 billion. The fastest-growing U.S. merchant ranked in the Europe 500 was web-only housewares and home furnishings merchant Wayfair LLC (No. 325), with web sales that increased about 103.4% to $36 million in 2012 from $17.7 million in 2011. The U.S. web merchant showing the biggest drop in web sales was online jeweler Bidz.com (No. 455)—by 15.8% to $8.5 million in 2012 from $10.1 million in the prior year.
These days American web merchants also are facing much stiffer competition from big European retail chains and direct marketers such as Otto and Tesco in developing more new local markets across the continent. "The biggest European merchants have been investing heavily to make their own e-commerce channels more appealing for their best local customers, and unless an American retailer is offering an entirely unique shopping experience it's going to be tougher for them to compete," says Joshua Bamfield, director for the Centre of Retail Research. In some categories, such as office supplies and computers, Europe's lingering economic malaise is affecting big U.S. e-retailers. For instance, European retail sales for Staples Inc. (No. 3) declined 2.4% in 2012 to about $4.15 billion from $4.25 billion in 2011.
To compete more effectively some U.S. web merchants such as Vistaprint Ltd. (No. 57) are developing new ways to reach local shoppers. Vistaprint Ltd. (No. 57), for example, which increased its European web sales year over year 29.1% to $418.9 million from $324.6 million, learned early on that European consumers and small businesses will shop online for print products if the experience is highly personal, says European vice president of marketing Sanjay Lobo. On each of its 27 European web sites, consumers and small businesses can use custom technology and product templates to create individualized print materials. But in addition to creating web pages written in the local language and a shopping cart that can process the local currency or euros, Vistaprint also designed its European e-commerce sites with advanced site search and product taxonomies that serve up only the most relevant products and print templates. "The design templates and merchandise that we have are all local for each country, which means our products will be as relevant as possible for our customers," Lobo says.
Vistaprint will continue to expand in Europe using applications proved in the U.S. In the U.S., Vistaprint created a mobile commerce site in 2010. Now with three years of experience and upgrades to draw upon, Vistaprint in August will launch a mobile-optimized site for Europe. The European versions of Vistaprint's mobile commerce sites also will give users the ability to browse, configure and order business cards, track new orders, and reorder existing cards.
Rather than move into more European markets, Vistaprint plans to focus on winning more business in the 18 markets it already serves. "We don't actually see our opportunity as further expansion by country, but in getting our products and sites much more locally relevant for our customers in each market," Lobo says.
More on Vistaprint and other metrics and analysis is contained in the 2013 Internet Retailer Europe 500.
The 2013 Europe 500 is available in three formats: print, digital and as part of the all-new and completely updated Top500Guide.com. Information on how to order the new 2013 Europe 500 is available here.

A growing coalition is going to have a huge impact as the utility industry gets its act together to lobby for specific demand response/smart grid legislation:
DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, and Nexant Join the Association for DR & Smart Grid
Three more leaders in demand response and smart grid have joined the Association for Demand Response & Smart Grid (ADS), the national DR and smart grid organization. They come aboard as ADS prepares for the upcoming National Town Meeting on Demand Response and Smart Grid (http://www.demandresponsetownmeeting.com). The new members are DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, and Nexant."
Read the whole announcement here.
The timing is perfect. U.S. load growth is expected to be pretty flat for the next decade and we may be able to serve that small growth with just demand response enabled by smart grid technology. We may not need to build much more generation or transmission than we have now. That could a big shift in the U.S. utility technology market and a rethink of how utilities can make money without depending primarily on ROI from big capital expenditures.
Of course, this opens the door for even more non-utility entities to enter the energy market. Maybe we're entering sort of a neo-deregulation era.
In any case, technology is available. Now we need new rate setting procedures and legislations. This new coalition forms a powerful lobbying base to get those things done.
What do you think?

The Emery County Commission met in their Nov. 9 meeting. It was brought out the previous property tax rate notice mailed to Emery County property owners on Oct. 12 was incorrect. New notices are being sent with the correct rate which indicates a new tax amount. The new due date for payment of taxes is being extended to Dec. 28 from Nov. 30. If you have any questions call the Treasurer's office at 381-2510.
The extension is due to an error in the rates used to calculate tax amounts on the 2010 Real Property Tax Notice sent to Emery County tax payers in October. Taxpayers will soon be receiving a corrected 2010 Real Property tax notice with the corrected tax amounts and indicating the extended payment deadline. It's anticipated that for most residential taxpayers, the corrected tax amount will be a minimal change from the October notice. Questions regarding the tax notice changes may be directed to the Treasurer's Office from which the new notice will be sent.
A number of items were on the agenda including the patent from the Bureau of Land Management to expand the current landfill which will reach full capacity sometime in the spring. Commissioner Gary Kofford explained that four years ago the county started the process to expand the landfill by 200 acres. The patent was approved, but in the process the BLM decided they were going to cut the grazing allotments in the area for Ross and Wayne Wilberg. This land includes the shooting range and the land fill expansion. The BLM agreed if water was put higher on the allotment they would cut the loss of AUMs. The Wilbergs went to the San Rafael Conservation District and was able to secure a grant to put in water troughs on the allotment. The county will also add $15,000 in mitigation funds to the trough project. With these measures the BLM has agreed to cut the loss of AUMs from 37 to 11.
The county is entering into an agreement that states Emery County is not responsible for the installation or maintenance of the troughs. Emery County will not have any other obligation or responsibilities. The Wilbergs have signed a waiver according to BLM guidelines. Over the next five years the county will need to complete an operating plan. The plan for the shooting range has already been submitted. The patent issued by the BLM is specific to the purpose of the land fill and the shooting range. The land will be under county jurisdiction. This patent is similar to the patent Ferron recently received for the expansion of the Millsite golf course.
The county will hold a public hearing on Dec. 7 at 9:30 a.m. to hear public comment on the mountain home development change. The county approved the cooperative agreement with the forest service for $6,877 for law enforcement on forest service land by the Emery County Sheriff's Office. The county approved the contract with Utah Department of Transportation concerning the final phase of the South Moore project which will be fencing the entire 21 mile stretch. A couple of cattle guards will be removed and under the road crossings will be constructed. This will keep the cattle off the road which was a big problem last winter. The commission also approved the chip seal modification.
Mary Huntington, personnel director and David Blackwell, county attorney were appointed to attend the annual UCIP meeting on Dec. 2.
A change order for the food bank building in the amount of $4,110 was approved for an asphalt strip and the redoing of an approach to the Southeastern Utah Health department building.
Under the citizens concern Commissioner elect JR Nelson said he will be out of the country over Christmas until early January and will miss the swearing in ceremony. Attorney David Blackwell said he can be sworn in when he gets back before the second commission meeting in January. Nelson also expressed his thanks to Commissioner Kofford and the work he has done in the county the past eight years.
Republican party chairman Bill Dellos also said they appreciate what Commissioner Kofford has done as well.
In the commission reports Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth asked Patsy Stoddard to tell about the Emery County Business Chamber. The opening kick-off event will be held on Nov. 16 at noon at the Museum of the San Rafael. There will be two speakers Sen. David Hinkins and Price Mayor Piccolo. The lunch will be catered by Gillys and everyone is welcome to attend. The event will announce the formation of the ECBC and encourage local businesses to join the organization to promote business in Emery County and foster economic development.
Commissioner Pitchforth said she attended the recreation district meeting and they have finished youth football for the season with Castle Dale being the champs and junior jazz signups are taking place. There will be allstar football teams going north to play. These teams are not sponsored by the rec. district and they are attending these allstar tournaments on their own and they are raising money to buy jerseys. Orangeville Christmas is set for Dec. 4. They are having a chili and soup cook-off and welcome everyone to attend.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks reported it has been a few hectic months. He attended a tour of the Hunter power plant to see all of the improvements there. Commissioner Kofford and Ray Petersen, public lands director went along as well. The power plants have spent millions of dollars to reduce emissions from the plants.
The travel bureau held its meeting and discussed the vandalism at the new restroom on Buckhorn Flat. Cameras will be installed out there to capture pictures of any vandals doing damage to the new information center.
JN Auto held their grand opening on Nov. 5 in Huntington.
Commissioner Kofford reported the county has started its budget process for 2011. There have been several budget meetings with department heads and the next budget meeting will be on Nov. 23 after commission meeting, if additional meetings need to be held they will be scheduled at that time.
The new metal building for the food bank has arrived and will be completely erected by Tuesday and then the interior work will begin.
The final inspection for the care center was held and a punch list developed and those items are being taken care of at this time. The sheet rocking is being worked on at the sheriff's office training and storage building.
The consent agenda included items: approval of business license for Nicole Hooley photography; approval of out of state travel for Garrett Conover; ratification of letter to DOGM regarding the position of water discharged from Crandall Canyon mine. Ratification of $50 a week on call pay for Garrett Conover for animal control responsibilities; approval of 3 percent increase for Timothy Randon who has completed his six month orientation period. Logan Tuttle has been hired as a 90 day temporary in the attorney's office.

At the June Huntington City Council Meeting, the bids were opened for the Gibb property. Huntington City worked for a number of years trying to secure this property on Main Street so they could have the old buildings demolished, as they had become a safety hazard as well as an eyesore to the town.
Two bids were received. The bid as put out in the paper specified that Huntington City could reject any or all bids and did not have to award the property to the highest bidder. A decision would also be made on what the buyer had in mind for the property and what would be the greatest benefit to the city and its residents.
The first bid opened was from Mark Justice for $28,100. The intended use of the property was to construct a building for office and retail uses. Justice would lease the units to renters. The time frame he specified would be to begin work within six months and be finished in 12 months.
The second bid opened was from Percy Mounteer in the amount of $25,500. Specified use would be to construct a parking lot for the adjacent Star Theatre on the front 50 percent of the property. The back portion of the property would be used to create a green space with trees, grass and a skatepark. Also plans included an addition to the back of the theatre to include a donut and fast food business. Mounteer also stated he had 3,500 signatures on petitions which supported his purchasing the property. He would provide opportunities for youth employment and also other businesses along Main Street could use the off-street parking area as well.
Nielson Construction had provided a letter which stated if the bid was awarded to Mounteer they would prepare and construct the parking lot beginning after the property was paid for.
Mayor Jackie Wilson reminded the council that had Mark Justice who is a member of the city council been present at the meeting he would be required to abstain from any input and discussion on the matter of the property and would not be allowed to vote. Justice, however, was not present. Mayor Wilson opened the discussion of the property. She stated that the purchaser of the property would do so with the understanding that the property must be developed within two-three years or Huntington City reserves the right to refund the purchase price and the property would revert back to the city. The payment for the property was due on June 27.
Council member Hilary Gordon stated that Sharon and Kim Earl were in the process of constructing an office type building at this time on Main Street. There was a small amount of discussion on the property and its possible uses. Council member Norm Richardson said he saw no further reason for discussion and he made a motion to award the bid to Mounteer for the development as described in the bid. The motion was seconded by Gordon and voted yes upon by Gordon, Council member Julie Jones and Richardson.

The Buffalo Sabres are spending a lot of money
Cam Charron
September 17 2011 09:21AM
Terry Pegula came to Buffalo, bringing along money and a vested ownership interest in seeing the local hockey team win. The issue here is whether the Sabres are spending it in the right places.
When hockey's collective bargaining agreement was signed in the summer of 2005, it capped base rookie pay at $850K per season, effectively minimizing contract holdouts from draftees and giving teams that draft high a fast advantage to showcase players for generally less than they're worth, even once you factor in the bonuses.
One unintended effect from this seems to have become the second contract. After being underpaid for three pro seasons under the rookie deal, the second contract has become the payday for a number of players. Millions of dollars stretched across a long period of time, to ensure player stability and to keep the stars with the team.
This can be a risky maneuvre, and the long-term, front-loaded second contract was once restricted by convention to the Alexander Ovechkins, Sidney Crosbys and Jonathan Toews' of the world. Chicago landed a few more with Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook for a little under $24M per year to secure their core over at least five years.
The Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins can respectably shed a bit more money on their core since they're proven to be championship-calibre, but the Buffalo Sabres? Count just over $7M for Thomas Vanek (thank Kevin Lowe) $4M for both Drew Stafford and next year's $5.5M for defenseman Tyler Myers. That's more than $16.5M for a core that has collectively proven to fluctuate with the play of their $6.25M goalie Ryan Miller.
I don't necessarily tie playoff success to the quality of a sports team since a lot can happen in a seven-game series, but I don't think a core of Stafford, Roy, Vanek and Myers is enough to carry a team far enough for the price of admission. This summer the Sabres opened their chequebooks and signed Christian Ehrhoff and Ville Leino, two players who put up good numbers as the beneficiaries of circumstance last season. These players are simply not good enough to lead a team without a significant season from Miller. They paid full-market price for Ehrhoff and Leino, but they also ended up paying Tyler Myers the same way.
Myers is good, but is he the 18th best defenseman in the league? Considering that's where his cap hit would rank up against his defensive peers, and only four higher than him, (Shea Weber, Dion Phaneuf, Seabrook and Keith) signed their deals as RFAs (and only two as long-term deals from their current teams). The point of an RFA is that you can sign the player for less than he'd be worth on the market. If you can't sign him to that, there will be a team who will, and you can trade him.
However, if you're Sabres GM Darcy Regier is convinced Myers along with a team of Vanek, Stafford, Miller, Andrej Sekera, and Jason Pominville is good enough to eat up at least half of your cap space through 2014, then who am I to really judge?
September 17 2011, 09:42AM
I think Myers' contract is worthy. He's rapidly turning into one of the league's better defencemen. Vanek's is unfortunate (and as you hinted, not entirely intended; I personally would've taken the compensation in that case, but whatever), and most of the other contracts aren't bad. I have a little bit of a problem with Stafford's contract since he's still very much unproven, and the only one I really take issue with is Leino's, since Leino is pretty much quantifiably awful. Erhoff isn't going to blow you away defensively, but a d-man who can do what he does on the attack is worth significant coin. It's not like he needs the same sheltering a guy like The Anton or MAB requires.
September 17 2011, 10:13AM
I'm not as big on the Myers contract personally. He's been pretty good so far, but his age and that length of deal equals significant risk. Think of Jovo after his second season for instance. Or Phaneuf. The temptation for kids is always to project upward, but it doesn't always go that way.
Now, there's certainly a chance he becomes a value signing for sure. But if he goes the other way...yikes.
Leino, Ehrhoff (particular when you consider dollars rather than the artificially low cap hit) are really bad bets, full stop. Before seeing butter minutes with the Sedins, Ehrhoff wasn't even a 40-point defender on average. He's not terrible defensively, but he's not a 50-point guy either.
September 17 2011, 01:59PM
I'm not a Christian Ehrhoff fan. He will likely be an offensive threat for a few years, but he's not worth $4M and he's definitely not the kind of player that should be committed to for 10 years. Comparatively speaking, the salary and term that Babchuck recieved this year is more palatable (understanding that he he is not as good as Ehrhoff).
September 17 2011, 05:12PM
My worry is that Buffalo will become a sort of mirror-image of what they were but to the same ends, spending money in all the wrong places and still struggling to find success (real success, not just one-and-dones in the playoffs). So basically like the New York Rangers. At least for the fanbase they don't have to face the inevitability of losing their prospects to predatory big-market teams. Any fan of Calgary or Edmonton can empathize with that.
September 17 2011, 06:18PM
Oh yeah, in actual dollars the contracts look horrendous. And I can see how Myers carries a certain risk. The difference I see between him and Phaneuf (I can't speak for Jovo) is that Phaneuf just basically blew onto the scene and started doing things, then became less useful because his game was very one-sided and people got used to his tendencies (and I don't think he's exactly what you'd call 'cerebral', so he may not ever adjust to that). Myers started out very well, and from what I've seen, has improved steadily through his first two seasons (point drop not withstanding). Myers has actually expanded his repetoire a bit, whereas I saw none of that with Phaneuf.
September 18 2011, 09:43AM
That's a fair point on Myers vs Phaneuf - Dion started out feasting on the lesser lights. Myers has basically seen tough ice from day one.
September 18 2011, 07:54PM
I think comparing new contracts to older ones is a bit unfair to the new one. The cap has gone up consistantly and what 5.5 million has meant to a cap-spending team has varied accordingly. Players sign contacts based on what the market is like right now and in the future, not what it was three years ago.

By SPENCER WRIGHTformer Emery County residentSalt Lake City
Dick Cheney recently warned of new imminent attacks on U.S. soil because of the constitutionally-compliant policies being brought back by the new administration. He claims as evidence that 61 of the released Guantanamo inmates are recidivists, returning to their former life as terrorists. Interestingly, it was the administration that he worked for (or controlled?) who let them go. I've never called for the release of Guantanamo inmates, but rather to give them a fair trial. He's the one that simply released them into the wild. And somehow that's now the new administration's fault.
But his rhetoric raises a much more pertinent question. Sixty one people have been freed and might have intentions to potentially commit terroristic acts. But what of the countless thousands of young men and women around the world who use the symbol of Guantanamo Bay as a rallying cry for their extreme views? How many more terrorists exist in the world because Guantanamo exists, not because a few men have been released from that place?
Anyone who thinks that potential terrorists make the decision to join a terrorist organization based on whether they fear being sent to Guantanamo needs a lesson in psychology. They are not motivated by fear of GITMO...they are motivated by hatred and anger toward America. Do you think the existence of Guantanamo helps them feel less hatred and anger toward America?
I feel much safer without a GITMO.

Child Poverty and Family Income
Childhood poverty has both immediate and lasting negative effects. Children in low-income families fare more poorly than children in more affluent families in the areas of economic security, health, and education. Children living in families that are poor are more likely than children living in other families to have difficulty in school, to become teen parents, and, as adults, to earn less and be unemployed more. The child poverty rate provides important information about the percentage of U.S. children whose current life circumstances are hard and whose futures are potentially limited as a result of their family's low income.
The full distribution of the income of children's families is important, not just the percentage in poverty. Knowing that more and more children live in affluent families tells us that a growing proportion of America's children enjoy economic well-being. The growing gap between rich and poor children suggests that poor children may experience more relative deprivation even if the percentage of poor children is holding steady.

London Irish will be bolstered this weekend by the return of Chris Hala'ufia for the Aviva Premiership clash with London Welsh in Reading.
Marland Yarde returns to the wing and Steven Shingler will start at inside centre with Guy Armitage outside him. Alex Corbisiero will start at loosehead and club captain, Declan Danaher, returns from injury to be named as a replacement.
"Tomorrow is our last home match of the season and we are keen to put in a strong performance in front of our home supporters," said London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith.
"We have not lost at home in 2013 and we want to ensure that record stays intact after tomorrow. London Welsh will be determined to put in a good performance and we are ready to meet that challenge."
Meanwhile, Gordon Ross and Daniel Browne will both make their 100th Premiership appearances after being named in the London Welsh side.
Ross made his Premiership debut for Leeds against Leicester Tigers at Headingley in August 2002, scoring 14 points in a 26-13 win for the home side, while Browne's first Premiership appearance came for Northampton at Leicester Tigers in September 2005.
Head coach Lyn Jones makes five changes to face London Irish after last weekend's defeat to Northampton Saints sealed London Welsh's return to the Championship next season.
All of those changes come in the backs, with Seb Stegmann starting at outside centre and Sonny Parker moving to the number 12 jersey to replace the injured Seb Jewell.
Nick Scott moves to number 14 jersey, with Dan Caprice named on the left wing. Tyson Keats replaces Alex Davies at scrum half, who starts on the bench.
Form: London Irish have won just one of their last four games: 26-6 at home to Worcester on 23rd March. Irish have not been defeated at Madejski Stadium in any tournament in 2013. London Welsh's unfortunate run of ten successive Aviva Premiership Rugby defeats should see them return to play RFU Championship rugby once more next season. Welsh have not been victorious in the competition since they beat London Irish 15-9 in Oxford in round 10. That win is London Welsh's only one over London Irish in competitive rugby.
The teams:
London Irish: 15 Tom Homer, 14 Marland Yarde, 13 Guy Armitage, 12 Steven Shingler, 11 Sailosi Tagicakibau, 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Darren Allinson, 8 Chris Hala'ufia, 7 Ofisa Treviranus, 6 Matt Garvey, 5 Bryn Evans, 4 George Skivington (capt), 3 Halani Aulika, 2 David Paice, 1 Alex Corbisiero.
Replacements: 16 Scott Lawson, 17 Jerry Yanuyanutawa, 18 Leo Halavatau, 19 Kieran Low, 20 Declan Danaher, 21 Topsy Ojo, 22 Shane Geraghty, 23 Jack Moates.
London Welsh: 15 Tom Arscott, 14 Nick Scott, 13 Seb Stegmann, 12 Sonny Parker, 11 Dan Caprice, 10 Gordon Ross (capt), 9 Tyson Keats, 8 Daniel Browne, 7 Michael Hills, 6 Julio Cabello Farias, 5 Kirill Kulemin, 4 Matt Corker, 3 Paulica Ion, 2 Greg Bateman, 1 Tom Bristow.
Replacements: 16 Dan George, 17 Arthur Joly, 18 James Tideswell, 19 Adam Brown, 20 Adam Balding, 21 Rob Lewis, 22 Alex Davies, 23 Joe Ajuwa.

Nice accommodation. A bit out of the city centre but easily accessible with the tube. Room is clean and cozy, bed was alright. Lights in the bathroom didn't work though.
I booked a room for a friend and I during our 4 day trip in London. It's really really cheap considering the location (zone 2).
The room was spacious with a nice bed and tv. There are cupboards if you want to unpack your bags. There were clean bedsheets and towels. The room was also very clean as well.
The kitchen and bathroom are shared with 2 other bedrooms. They are cleaned every day. There's everything you need to cook in the kitchen, and a Tesco supermarket is on the other side of the street, open till midnight. There's also a great place across the street called foxcroft & ginger : good tea and yummy pastries. Worth a try !
The room is 5 minutes away from the tube, even closer to bus stops.
We didn't see our host, but everything was ready for us (keys in the masterlock). Kazzos sends an email after your reservation, and one week before your stay to give you infos about how to get there, what you can do to prepare your trip, etc. Much appreciated !
Thanks a lot, we really enjoyed our stay :)
It has a good location, ten minutes walking from Liverpool station (The city of London). Neighborhood is a bit noisy but it´s fine, you can find supermarkets, restaurants pretty close to the house, no more than 5 minutes walking.
The room was clean. Regards to the bed, it is comfortable but the pillow is a disaster, not comfortable at all. A part from that we had a noise because of the heating was constantly dripping so it sounds like a crazy bird and it was tough to fall sleep.
Breakfast: just one kind of cereals, no milk, only coffee and tea.
We haven´t met the host.
Rate: Acceptable value-price
It was a nice and big room with door to the garden. We liked it very much. There was a well equipped kitchen and a little bath and separat a little toilet and friendly and quiet other guests. It was a good and quiet place to start in a day. We also liked east end.
Nice stay! Near from the metro,from the city,from brick lane!!
The room has tv,wifi, a small table so we could have our breakfast in the room,and coffee cereals in the kitchen.
We were in the inside room that was more quiet than those on the main street,but take your hearing protectors if noises usually disturbs you.
Take also an adapter for your phone if you re not from england!
We ll come back here next time in london!
Thank you very much Kaz!
It is a very nice and calm room with good connection to the tube. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back.
Actually an excellent place near to downtown
I would be there if i need to return to london
Great quality/price relationship!! The apartment is in the East of London (Sector 2) but it has very good connections with the center of the town by underground (Stepney Green) and bus (lines 25 to Oxford Street and 205 to Paddington). It is also well connected via nocturnal bus (N205) with Liverpool Street to take the Airport Bus to London Stansted Airport. The room was large and clean and the bathroom and the kitchen fulfill all the requirements for a weekend stage. The only concern is some noise at night because the sirens of ambulances and police cars. We also liked the absence of carpeted floor in bath and rooms (it has wooden floor). I'm sure that I will repeat!!
It was a great experience, an easy access to all places of central London. Thank you Kaz for your hospitality
Centrally located in quiet area. Apartment is clean. The other guests were quite loud and walls are thin, but ok value for the area.
