Sims Metal Management,
Daniel Dienst,
earnings guidance,
Sean Davidson
NEW YORK Sims Metal Management Ltd. (SimsMM) has revised its earnings forecast for the first half of its fiscal year, indicating a further decline.
The company expects underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) for the six months ending Dec. 31 to be some 20 percent lower than its previous guidance range, putting earnings at some $88 million to $96 million. That would be between $45 million and $53 million lower year on year.
"This updated earnings guidance relates primarily to SimsMMs assessment of recent intake volumes and its anticipated shipping program, particularly for deep-sea ferrous products, forecasted for December 2012," the company said late Tuesday.
Chief executive officer Daniel W. Dienst in November had forecast that Ebitda for the period would in a range of $110 million to $120 million for the six-month period (amm.com, Nov. 15), suggesting a drop of $21 million to $31 million from $141 million in the same period a year earlier.
"As indicated at the annual general meeting, SimsMM anticipated relatively weak intake volumes across all regions coupled with, until recently, tepid demand by deep-sea ferrous buyers. (While) recent positive economic signals in the U.S.including declining unemployment, positive consumer confidence data and increasing industrial production(are) encouraging, the direct benefit to intake volumes and metal recycling margins typically follows at a lag, which will not benefit SimsMM" through the end of the year, the company said.
The New York-based company said Tuesdays guidance is subject to variations that could relate to the timing of shipments and the impact of commodity hedging, and excludes items that might be reported related to asset sales, redundancies and other significant items.
The company expects to release its results for the fiscal first half on Feb. 15.

For me, Dynasty is one of the most classy and well-produced primetime soap of all time. It was splendid and extravagant at its best. People may judge this drama anthology on the grounds that the some situations were incredible and every scene is captivating. I think Dynasty has its greatness in plot. No hesitation it was one of the best show during the 80's. I decided to purchase my all-time favorite show which is Dynasty from http://www.dvdbooth.com/Drama/DYNASTY_DVD_COLLECTION/ . I was kind of surprised with the fast shipping method and my DVDs were delivered in the rapid period. I must say that I did received good quality DVDs. Dynasty is certainly a brilliant show for me and I can just watch it every time I want now that I have my own collection. Read more

Chapter 3 : Rupture
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 19
Background: Font color:
The only thing separating me from Prisoner 11—Rose, were the bars. I had moved my chair closer, and then closer again, until we had become nothing less than chatting acquaintances out for tea in the afternoon (though, admittedly, she could only move so far with the chains around her ankles). Her congenial manner may have drawn me in, but it was her voice—rich and crackling with emotion—that kept me firmly attached to the seat of my chair.
"Why did you change your mind?"
"Desperation, Mr. Walker, has been the source of most of my mistakes as you will see. Though certainly not all." She turned toward me with the most blazing look in her eyes. "Tell me this— with your parents dead and brother dying, wouldn't you feel the world had betrayed you? Wouldn't you want to right the wrongs inflicted in your life?"
"I suppose I would."
"There is no supposing here, Mr. Walker. You see it is all relative. Wrong and right. Good and evil. Dark magic and light magic and blue magic and purple magic—none of it makes any damn difference. Everything that happened, every precise death, every failure, every miscalculation up until the war, was inevitable from the beginning." She spoke with conviction, "You'll see, Mr. Walker, there was only one way any of this could've ended, and that is with me sitting here speaking with you."
Rose and Albus had thrown themselves into research with a zeal unlike before, one that crossed from order into obsession, replacing principle with uncontrolled passion—all the while eager to outdo the other. These were strange moments of unity, however fleeting and unstable, that Rose would admit she enjoyed.
Recently washed cauldrons were placed upturned on work tables, alongside jars and bottles of miscellaneous items. Toadstools, nettles, Pig bladders, cow eyes, assorted herbs and enchanted waters. Reference books laid haphazardly open all over the floor. And in the midst of it was a boiling cauldron, flowing from the rim while the surrounding fluids were carelessly cleaned by charmed mops.
"Al…we need fewer asphodel leaves. The poison can be lethal in large doses—"
"There won't be a large dose," He said irritably, counting the remaining toadstools with decent spores to put into the cauldron. Dropping them in, he stirred clockwise twice, then counterclockwise until a vat of green had formed. "And besides, we'll counteract it with the flobberworms—not those, dimwit, the minced ones by the wormwood."
Rose gnashed her teeth, dropping the flobberworms into the cauldron.
"If you read ever Phyllid Spore like you were supposed to, you'd know it would take a wagonload of these damned things to counter the asphodel poison." She snorted. "…pompous ass."
"Spore was a fool who didn't know his grundywood from his gillyweed," He jeered, his mouth twisted into an acidic smile, "And knowing more than you doesn't make me a pompous ass, dearest Rose. It simply makes me better."
She met his smugness with a petulant look.
"If you're so much better than me, then explain why you need my help?"
"In retrospect, I'd say you need my help."
"When have I ever needed you asshole?"
"More juvenile name calling? My, my, it's as if you're trying to hurt my feelings, cousin."
"You don't have feelings, Al."
At this, the boy turned his back at her to silently chop the geranium roots. Several moments later he spoke through the methodical swishing of the knife.
"You're right, I don't really need you. I guess it's more of a preference."
Rose stared at the back of him contemplatively. Her cousin had his peculiarities, but nothing was as strange as how he singled her out, like she was special or different. Albus didn't care for company and he didn't care for family, so it was peculiar how he refused to work in class with anyone but her (Scorpius had a habit of inadvertently blowing up every potion he made). Or that he refused to dance with anyone else at the Yule ball except her. Or that he somehow always managed to jeopardize every possible friendly or romantic relationship she had, either by blackmail, bribery, or fatal injury of the other party. At times, it felt as though he was trying to keep her as isolated as possible. There were rumors of course, the usual kind, those that misinterpreted this strange and possessive attachment he had with his cousin as inappropriate, but Rose knew the real reason was far more… childish.
Rose was the only one who could keep his pace. And Albus just didn't like sharing.
Selfish bastard.
He was a better, stronger, smarter wizard than her, and she knew that. She envied it. Natural ability oftentimes made him conceited and reckless, creating hostile tension between them. Still though, Albus couldn't deny that she was pretty close behind him in every regard. Closest anyone ever got to him, especially in potion-making where even Slughorn proclaimed they were neck to neck.
So this working together business was mutually advantageous. They would bounce ideas off one another, practicing and planning, screwing up heedlessly and then reverting back to the idea board. At the same time competing and yet foolishly trying to impress one another. Rose read Secrets of the Darkest Art in an hour. Albus read all the works of Argo Pyrites. Albus woke up at four to resume working. Rose stayed up all night testing enchantments and potion combinations. Rose found all herbs possibly related to revitalization. Albus surprised her with a rare vial of phoenix blood.
"How did you find that?"
He merely shook his head, "Unnecessary details. But do you know what's so fascinating about a phoenix?"
"Well, it regenerates almost instantly when it dies."
"Aside from that Rosie, it is the only creature in existence to be able to do so."
"Lot good that's done it." She snorted. The past thirty years had reduced the phoenix population to under a hundred. The more powerful its magical healing properties were discovered to be, the more people savagely sought it.
Albus held the vial between his thumb and forefinger, studying it circumspectly. "The only creature in the world with the power to immortality… on the verge of dying out. Funny how things work out, isn't it?"
Following her parents' deaths, Rose lived with the Potters—all of which, as it seemed, had begun to crumble within themselves. Ginny, long-faced and sallow skinned, had turned to whiskey while James, in order to cope with his missing father figure, developed a new-found love for authority. Lily erupted in fits of anger and ran away once a week—only to be found camped at a friend's place and the occasional disgusting boyfriend's. James and Lily argued. James and Ginny argued. The only person James didn't yell at was Albus, who was careful never to get caught doing anything wrong.
Hugo remained at the hospital growing precariously feebler by the day. Rose would visit him often.
Having awoken from a nap, a grin flitted across his face as she stepped through the doorway.
"I brought you something."
"You didn't have to."
"Oh hush."
She dropped a badly wrapped package into his lap and threw her arms around his neck, leaning in to kiss his cheek, "Happy Birthday."
The recently turned thirteen-year old rubbed the display of affection from his face, his cheeks heating up, (Rose always had to embarrass him. What if one of the healers saw? ) and then turned his attention to the present.
"Guess you didn't have wrapping paper at the house, eh Rosie?"
"Or tape. Or scissors."
"Or aesthetic talent." He teased.
The ends of her lips curved as she playfully shoved him. "Open it already."
Hugo took a deliberately long time contemplating the strange package. He held it close to his ear, rattled it, threw it in the air, and smelled it carefully. I bet it's one of those pie-in-the-face machine thingies, right Rosie? Bet you've got a timer on it. You'd do that. Or, oh, oh! It's a pygmy puff, isn't it? It's not a pygmy puff, Hugo. Better not be. It better not be underwear either. If it's underwear I'm not opening it. Do I look like Nana Molly to you? I give up…is it edible? Yes, Hugo it's an edible pygmy puff in a pair of bloomers ready to splatter you in the face with pie. Sweet Merlin, that's brilliant—how did you know I wanted that?
He plowed through the bad wrapping and unraveled the Chudley Cannon's hat he'd been wanting for a while, along with a box of chocolates. He faked a look of disappointment.
"I thought you were serious about the pygmy puff."
She took the hat and yanked it on his head, brushing his hair out of his eyes. Her hand lingered for a moment on his face. Hugo was weak and scrawny-looking, with large blue eyes and soft babyish features. He had long lashes, wild muddy curls like their mother, and a permanent expression of bewilderment etched on his face. Despite all that, there was a weighing sadness in his character—the countless pain potions, the bedridden lifetime, the ticking clock—that became prominent when he stopped smiling. Though her brother was good at pretending, for her sake.
She would kiss his forehead and kiss his face countless times, and she would hold him tightly, and sometimes when she fell asleep next to him on the cot he could hear her wracking sobs, reliving their parents' deaths. Her arm would circle around his waist tightly, squeezing him past the point of comfort, and she would make absurd promises about never letting anything happen to him.
Unlike his delusional sister, who had her head suspended in a daydream that he endearingly referred to as 'Roseland', Hugo was more rational, level-headed, accepting of reality—the simple truth was that he knew he wouldn't live past his fourteenth birthday. He had known this all his life. What he didn't know was the lengths his sister would go to keep him alive.
The problem with testing a concoction intended for revitalization was an obvious one: finding a dead test subject. Rose stood tentatively holding her wand toward a mass of abnormally large spiders, her face pinched.
"I can't, Al."
"You can." The silky voice murmured from behind, grazing against her ear. "Everyone's killed spiders."
She shook her head. "This is different. I've never….I can't."
"It's easy." His hand wrapped hers over her wand, more gripping than comfortable. "No blood, no pain...some might say it's a more merciful death…now if you just relax and—"
"Let go." She croaked. Dabbling in dark magic was one thing but using the Unforgivables was a step too far, even for her.
"They're spiders, Rose. No one's committing mass murder here." He spoke with an air of impatience. "It will make potion testing much easier if you learn to do these things."
"I don't see why you can't just do it."
"Because it's too damn easy."
"Oh shut up."
"You shut up. Now stop acting like a coward and do it."
She yanked her arm away and spun toward him, wand pointed at his chin.
"You listen to me, now—I'm not scared. The difference is in choice. We're not all born with shaky morals."
"You presume I was born with any."
"Be that as it may, I could use the spell if I wanted to."
A reserved smile seeped through his handsome features. "And there's nothing I can do to change your mind?"
"No tricks." She glowered, "I've known you since you were in diapers, and trust me when I say there's no trick I haven't seen. There's nothing you can do that I bloody well can't counter!"
"Are you certain of that? Are you truly aware of what I'm capable of?" He smirked, taking one more step towards her. His eyes flashed intently. They stood face to face, brow to brow, and in her peripheral Rose could see his hand was inching toward the wand in his back pocket. In every practice duel they had Albus threw an unexpected first hex, but if she kept eye contact, she could catch him.
He gave a lazy tilt of the head. "Assumptions are a dangerous thing to make, Rose. You assume you know everything about me. You assume I'm going to attack you the same way I always do. And you assume I'm as much scared of you as you are of me."
"I'm not…I'm not scared of you."
"And why not?" His eyes flickered dangerously, but the moment of anger was gone before Rose could see it. Suppressed. Discarded.
She had seen the way other kids had begun to act around Albus at school. How underclassmen would duck their heads when they walked past him. How his Slytherin posse trailed behind him, Can I get you a snack, Potter? Shall I serve your detentions? Oh, Potter, would you like me to make a complete fool of myself for your amusement? Malfoy was a more brazen being, but even he couldn't keep her cousin in check. The worst of it were the girls who threw themselves at his feet, pining and becoming expectedly heartbroken when he didn't turn around to remember their names.
There was no getting around it: Albus had an unnatural amount of control over others. He didn't have friends. He had tools, grunts, and disposable napkins. A boy with a brilliant, beautiful, amazing mind but an asshole, nonetheless.
"Don't bother starting something." She warned, "I beat you in the last duel."
His face was a strange mix between humor and scorn, "I won't always go that easy on you."
"You weren't—"
In a flash of light he had her disarmed, her wand sent flying. As she leapt sideways to catch it he blasted her backwards with a freezing enchantment.
With her body rendered immovable, she lied in utter surprise at his reflexes. Albus had never attacked with such speed before. Had he always been holding back? She watched in dismay as he approached, blocking the last rays of the descending sun, standing so that his darkened silhouette towered over hers.
"That wasn't fair."
He tilted his head at her, his green eyes glinting derisively.
"There you go assuming again. You see I never intend to fight fair, Rose. Fairness implies that we're equal to begin with, which we're clearly not." The ends of his lips curved, "So why would I limit myself? Why shouldn't I use my intellect to outsmart you? Don't you see how easy it is for me?"
"All I see is a boy with dirty tricks," She said scathingly.
"And all I see is a girl with no tricks."
With a contemptuous glare, he pointed his wand sideways at the line of spiders trailing across the ground, uttering the forbidden words without any trace of emotion.
Aveda Kedavra.
The following flash of green reflected in her horror-stricken eyes and instantaneously the spiders were as immoveable as her. Rose could feel the air deflate from her lungs.
The smug coldness from his gaze seemed to puncture her skin. "Now say it." He ordered, "That I'm better than you."
"You're better than me." She echoed.
Her voice was faint, lacking the conviction he had craved. Albus felt strangely dissatisfied. He wasn't sure what had initially elicited such a reaction. He regressed a few steps, stone-face, as if to distance himself from her. His flesh and blood. Why was he doing this? What was the matter with him? Several times he blinked, watching her tremble as the freezing enchantment wore off, just watching, trying to sort it all out.
Upon the sight of her tears, he quickly reverted tactics.
"I'm sorry—" He moved towards her as she stood up, instinctively as predator to prey, aware of every vital discrepancy—her panicking heart-rate, her widening eyes, the doe-eyed expression of fear, yes, fear, that flitted across her impulse driven face. "I don't know why I did that." He wrapped his arms around her flinching body, pulling her close. Like a child escaping out of a burning house, he would grab whatever he could.
"They're just spiders Rose," He said softly, "If it bothers you I won't do it again."
His fingers stroked her hair.
"…You know I couldn't even think of hurting you."
His mouth grazed her forehead, lingering a hair's breadth away.
"…Progress takes risks. I had to show you what we have to do to save Hugo."
As his hands cupped her face, he held an expression of ironclad earnestness.
"…We want the same things Rose. Don't you see that?"
He could see the myriad of emotions flicker across her face, processing which one to settle on. Her voice came out as a plea. "How can I trust you when you're always lying to me?"
He observed her demurely from underneath his lashes.
"I won't blame you if you hate me."
Now her expression would soften.
"Don't be ridiculous." She mumbled, as if embarrassed. "I couldn't hate you, Al."
Of course not.
He hugged her, feeling her pulse slow, her body voluntarily relax in his arms. Good. She was already caving in— her mind just didn't know it. She had forgiven him as she always did and now they would revert to normalcy, at least what was normalcy for them. But this meant he would have to tread carefully in her good graces for a while, keeping himself firmly planted between trusted friend and adoring brother.
But this time was different for Rose, a seed had been planted in her head, sown and lain to fertilize—enrapturing her mind in a web of sorts. It was disturbing how easy it had been for him to commit such a destructive act. She told herself that webs could be cleaned, but it wasn't about just the spiders. It was so much more than just spiders.
It had been easy to forgive him. Rose always forgave him.
But forgetting was dangerous.
A part of her held out, because until then she had considered them one of the same. Equals, with a shared and mutually tortured childhood. Albus knew of her pain, whether or not he truly understood it. And though Rose may not have known what had happened between him and his father, she still gave him an enormous amount of leeway for it. He was an arrogant and distrustful ass, but so tantalizingly close to a sibling she had not been able to see him as anything otherwise.
Until now
When their potion didn't work, Rose detached herself from Albus, unknowing to him, and resumed a private line of inquiry. She reverted towards the fundamentals of spell-making, Ancient Runes and Latin texts, the sort of things that were so engraved in the process that people hardly gave them a second thought.
The philosophy behind a spell was that it was based on the principle of something, for something. Every action, manipulation of condition, would affect universal sphere of energy. Some spells could be personalized. For instance, the Unforgivables—the Cruciatis curse, the torturing spell, required a significant amount of malicious energy and evil intent on the user's part, without which the spell fell flat. The Imperious curse took the will of the person inflicted upon: a sacrifice, and in turn, gave control. And of course, the killing curse reflected the most fundamental principle of sacrifice—you took a life in exchange for the person's death.
Following torturous weeks of research, she deduced a frightening yet plausible method to reverse the principle of death, but it was crass, risky, and not testable on spiders in the slightest. It would take a catalyst source of energy to jumpstart, lightning perhaps. She would wait for a thunderstorm, take her brother off the oxygen tanks and out to the woods, and of course, not give any indication to her dear cousin that she had figured it out.
She had figured out the secret of revitalization but at a price—and there was danger in such knowledge.

Bloodshot eyes glazed the headline, the corners of his mouth twitching. The handsome porcelain features were so etched so tightly that Albus looked unnatural. Anger radiated from his essence as his photographic memory scanned every instance for a hint, any hint, of such a cold betrayal.
No one got the chance to betray Albus. He betrayed them first. He destroyed anyone who even gave him a whiff of duplicity. But Rose, who he been willing to share information with, work with—he had been lenient with her. He had allowed her close. He was soft-tempered, and patient, and brotherly. He did not know why this was so.
All he knew now was that it had been a mistake.
Suddenly, the silence was too much in the room and he slammed his fists on the side table, knocking over papers, breaking glass, and startling his owl, Dudley. He howled alongside the owl as the sharp edges penetrated the flesh of his hand. While he tended to them, the insolent, repulsive creature began making noise, ruffling its feathers and rattling against the cage. Albus violently grabbed the owl by the neck and shoved it out the window.
"Get out!" he snapped, slamming the window shut.
What happened? Are you ok? How's Hugo?
How did it happen? What did you do?

I miss you. Talk to me.
I'm worried about you.
Prophet Headline: Head Auror Adopts Fifteen-Year Old Prodigy, Refuses Interviews
I want to talk. Let's meet.
Damn it. Don't do this. Talk to me.
We're better than this.
"So, no reply huh?"
Albus scowled at Scorpius, who had been snooping over his shoulder a moment prior and now stood on the other side of the room, casually glancing through his other letters.
"Howler, howler, howler –Merlin, Potter, how many people did you piss off this week?"
Albus didn't bat an eyelid. "Put all the letters from my mum in the bin."
The shrieking red tapered letters were a bit more difficult to dispose of, requiring an extensive number of anti-opening jinxes, but Scorpius managed to get rid of them all. He shoved them into a metal container, kicking the lid shut, and then turned to his best mate. The unresolved curiosity in the room was stifling.
"So, speaking of your cousin—"
"I don't believe we were."
"—is she ok or not?"
Albus glanced up to meet a startlingly solemn expression on his friend's face.
"You seem awfully concerned, Scorp." His tone was one of amused suspicion, "Is something the matter?"
"I'm indifferently curious."
"You can't be both."
Scorpius avoided his wry half-grin for a brief moment, studying the drapes.
"No way what she's going through is easy. Aren't you worried about her too?"
"I'm her cousin. I have to be."
"Bullshit. You're not sentimental about family, Potter." Came the usual sneer.
"And you're not sentimental about Rose, Malfoy, but here we are now, having this roundabout discussion."
They glared at each other, alpha male to alpha male. A faint blush shaded the blond's face, not from anger but, as Albus noted, embarrassment.
How curious.
Albus subsided first, falling against his bed with a loud yawn. He kept his tone casual and even.
"She doesn't want to see me, Scorp. She said nothing about you."
"It's usually in the subtext," The blond looked uncomfortable, "And anyway, it would just be strange without you… She'll kick me. She'll throw things at me."
A chuckle. "It's not as if you deserve anything less."
"Maybe my expectations have changed."
There was a pause.
"Since when?" Albus inquired, brows raised.
"A year."
"She's been gone for a year."
"Well maybe two years… Don't look at me like that, Potter. I don't have to explain myself to you."
"You most certainly do not."
"You're mocking me."
"I most certainly am not." The corners of his mouth twitched. "I'm sure Rose has many attractive qualities underneath the mainly unattractive ones. So what is it? Can't be her plain-jane eyes—is it the hair? Or the way she yells at you? Does it stroke your—"
"Stop that. "
"My, my, you're blushing. I didn't know Malfoys could do anything besides sneer."
"You're the worst person in humanity."
Albus gave him a sly look. "You have my permission."
"I wasn't asking for your permission, Potter. "
"Yes you were, why else would you bring it up?"
Another pause.
"So what do you think, then?" Scorpius was looking at him, a half-eaten, desperate look on his face. It was more than a question, it was demanding a prediction. No one in the world knew Rose better than Albus. Likewise, no one knew Scorpius better than Albus.
"I mean…I'm not exactly her favorite person."
And the good thing about Scorpius was that he didn't keep secrets.
"You could be."
Rose lied in the vicinity of her new room, not sleeping but thinking, all the while ignoring the two house elves yelling outside the door. Adjusting to her new life had tumultuous and physically straining.
The Head stared callously down at her. "Get up Weasley. I didn't order you to stop running."
"I… can't," She gasped, lying with her cheek against the cold, hard cement as tears of exhaustion rolled down her face. He walked over and pressed down on her limp hand until she cried out in pain.
"Stop… Stop."
Her pleas were weak and her eyes were beginning to close. Inconsiderate was the word that came to mind. The Head was entirely inconsiderate to her age, her gender, the fact it'd only been two months since she'd recovered the strength to walk again. He pinned her against men twice her age in battles. He made her run entire nights. He countered her complaining by taking away food, water, and sleep privileges. The worst thing after a long run was another long run.
"Just five minutes…"
"I told you that you'd have to go through the same training as the rest of my men, which means no special treatment." He kicked her legs, "Don't whimper like that—It only means I have to push you twice as hard from now on."
Rose stood up, her knees wobbling dangerously.
"Run," He instructed, shoving her so that she staggered a bit but maintained her balance. Using her hands to level herself, she narrowed her eyes on the shadowy silhouettes running ahead of her so her head would stop spinning and she could see straight. Then she began to move. He told her this training would build discipline, something she was apparently very much in need of. "Magic is entirely useless to a wizard who cannot even stand the test of endurance." He informed her again. "This is a lesson you will carry with you the rest of your life. The willingness to move forward is the only thing that can save you now."
After the physical training came the magical one. Sadly, it wasn't much better.
"Bombarda… Confundo….Defodia…" The Head shot spell after spell at her from the tip of his wand, barely even flexing an inch. On Rose's part, there was more physical movement involved—mostly running to avoid being pulverized. Her arms flailed around her.
"DAMN IT!" She cursed, as the hex hit her straight in the chest.
"Weasley! For the love of Merlin, use your wand!"
Despite frantic efforts to grip her wand, Rose watched in dismay as it slipped through her shaking hands. As she snapped to get it, the Head attacked. "No, no, no— Everte Statum!"
She was blasted full force into a tree, hitting the back of her head and sliding onto the ground.
"Focus! You mustn't let your fear distract you!"
She groaned, rubbing her head, and stood up again.
"Fix your stance!"
She bent her knees, stretching her right leg out in front so that her torso would stay straight and level. "Protego!" Charm after charm shot out the tip of her wand to block her trainer's hexes, yet they grew feebler with each try. Damn it—her hands felt slippery again. Her head was spinning; she felt slow, disoriented, easily distracted. All the confidence she'd had in her abilities began to wane. All those potions and dueling awards, her ass. It didn't mean a thing in the real world.
The giant explosion blew her backwards and she fell rolling, eventually to land face down on the ground. A strange tingling sensation passed down the middle of her face. She lifted her head to touch her nose, and upon realizing it was broken, let out a loud moan. Hot fresh tears emerged in her eyes. She bit her cracked lips, hard until they bled, in order to stop the dry sobs rising up her throat.
"Bloody hell— are you crying, Weasley?" There was amusement in his tone, but only there to mask the utter surprise. He had grown accustomed to pushing her beyond her abilities without too much resistance (aside from the occasional swear word). He had meant to break her defiance. He just never knew it would be this hard to watch a small girl cry. She said something in a garbled voice which he didn't catch.
She wept, her voice breaking. "I can't…I shouldn't have to—"
"Don't give me that." He grumbled, his face reddening. Guilt was not an emotion he would feed. Grabbing her roughly by the arm, he pulled her off the ground and held her by the shoulders. "You don't have the luxury to wear the face of a victim, Weasley." He said sternly, "Delicate flowers die in the cold—you have to be a weed. You don't get to feel sorry for yourself and cry like this. Got it?"
No response.
He grabbed her by her small shoulders and looked her squarely in the eyes.
"There's someone counting on you, Weasley."
The statement reminded Rose so much of what her father had once said to her that she wanted to cry again, but she shook the notion away and lowered her gaze to the ground before it could grow into anything else. The Head would never be anything like her father. Not in a million years.
But he was right. She didn't have the luxury to be a victim of circumstance. Not if she wanted to defy the odds.
Rose never wanted to be an auror, even in school. She was an academic, with a fondness for research and books. Dueling was something she excelled at to keep Albus at bay, not a career pathway.
The countless days and sleepless nights, filled with strenuous training. The running until her lungs caved in and her muscles broke down while the Head shouted at her to keep up with the men that were twice her age. The cruel survival techniques they drummed into her head, like what were the best spots to strike an enemy, how to knock an opponent out in less than thirty seconds, or which veins caused the most hemorrhaging.
Her wand was becoming her weapon, and slowly, ever so miserably she was becoming a thing she despised. A monster. At the mere age of 16.
Absolute hell
There's someone counting on you Weasley
That thought stuck with her, kept her from throwing in the towel and running away. The magic she used to save Hugo's life had even begun to reverse his condition—he was getting better. Which meant that it was up to her to pave his future, make sure he got precisely the life he deserved after a limited childhood.
"You should listen to the Head," Hugo urged her. "I know he's not Dad, but he's looking out for you. Yeah I get he's corrupt and using you for his own selfish schemes but really, what politician isn't these days. And you can use him the way he's using you."
"Hugo, he's a sociopath who wants to make me his super weapon."
"Sociopath is a strong word, Rosie. Besides, he's smart and he can make you smart too. Merlin knows you need it."
"Are you calling me stupid?"
"I'm just saying—" She pulled his ear. "—ok ow, ow, that hurts! I'm just saying that he knows his way around the ministry and that's not necessarily a bad place to end up. I mean Mum and Dad aren't…around anymore. We have to think about our future."
"Don't you think I know that? Don't you think I'm doing this for us?"
"And the Head honestly doesn't sound that bad. Most of his rules make sense, especially the not seeing any boys thing. Dad had that rule too, remember?"
"Hugo—honestly, the last thing on my mind is boys!"
Yeah, yeah. He rolled his eyes at this. "Like Teddy wasn't all you thought about Third Year--"
"Things are different now." She said dismissively.
Because she knew she was breathing—she was alive. Because there was nothing else in her life to look forward to, and there was nothing left to fall back on. Her parents were dead, her family had abandoned her, and she owed a debt for her 'freedom' to the ministry.
Because she knew that at the end of the day she wasn't sitting waiting to die alone, and all that she felt was nothing.
Absolutely nothing compared to what he had been through.
Hugo told himself that if his sister could manage Auror training, then he could manage to walk. Slowly, tentatively, he lifted himself, his hands clenching the sides of his wheelchair. The muscles of his arms vibrated as pain shot through his right leg. He had been at this for weeks now. Each day he lifted himself more, little by little, pushing himself to the edge of his capacity. His progress wasn't startling like Rose's, but composed of small, humble steps.
In this way it was also more admirable.
He fell back into his wheelchair, gasping, as his sister entered the room.
"I'm getting better." He informed her, face flushed.
"So am I."
"We're really doing this, aren't we?"
She could see the tired, brilliant grin on his face and it made her positively beam with pride. There was something about his genuine smile, the fact that they were both striving for a common goal, that warmed her. She didn't have to worry about the aching burden of him dying anytime soon. Not before her, at least.
"All right. Once more."
"Nah, Rosie. I'm tired--"
"Oh, come now!" She put her hands under his bony armpits and pulled him up, as one did with a small child. It was clear from his sullen-eyed expression that Hugo disliked being manhandled.
"Put your arms around my neck." She instructed. He stood an inch of two shorter than her. He made his whining face, lower lip protruding.
"This is embarrassing. I mean it looks like we're dancing! What if someone sees—"
"Oh don't be a ninny."
"Shut up! I'm not a ninny."
Reluctantly, he put his arms around her. Rose nodded approvingly. "Now, follow my steps."
As a single functioning unit, they moved—Hugo slowly trudging forward in an infant-like way. He kept his attention on his wavering legs, making sure to mimic her steps.
"Hey Rosie, you ever…think of Mum and Dad? If they were still here?"
Rose didn't answer for a moment. It had only been a year. The image of their bodies being carried away in caskets was still vivid in her mind.
"Not really."
"Liar." Hugo scowled and asked to be let off. Rose helped him toward his cot and sat beside him. On his bedside she could see an old photo album, open to a random page where the four of them stood smiling, dressed in the hideous reindeer sweaters Nana Molly had gifted. It was the Christmas they had gone to Munich—she was seven and Hugo was five, much before he had been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy.
"You miss them, huh."
"All the time. Don't you?"
"I can barely remember what it was like with them." Rose admitted. Her life had shifted so drastically since then she couldn't imagine it having ever been normal.
"So, I mean," Hugo stretched his neck uncomfortably, "You know that spell you used to…resurrect me. Have you ever thought about—"
There was a pause. His watery blue eyes searched hers in desperation.
"Why not?"
"Because. There's a reason dark magic is strictly forbidden and they were going to send me to Azkaban—"
"No, listen…I got lucky." She looked at him intently, "The spell is dangerous dark magic. And dark magic always has a price. I can't ever do it again, you understand? No one can."
What aren't you telling me? Nonetheless Hugo decided to let the matter drop for the time being. They played a couple games of exploding snap (he won) before ordering dinner, along with a chocolate-banana sundae that Hugo more or less devoured by himself, much to his sister's annoyance. A couple more games followed, which Hugo also won, and Rose found herself thinking of all the places she'd be able to take him once he fully recovered. Beaches, parks, movies, arcades, swimming, quidditch matches—the list was endless. Maybe they'd go somewhere abroad, like Paris, when she made the money (their parents' fortune had been confiscated by Gringotts since Rose was technically a convicted felon, and Hugo was technically supposed to be dead). After they finished, Rose was picking up her things when he surprised her with some abrupt news.
"So a boy came looking for you today."
She had put on her jacket and was now tying her shoes. "I don't know any boys."
"Tall, blond, good looking. Sure you don't know a Scorpius Malfoy?"
Her brow tensed, "What'd you tell him, Hugo?"
"Oh come on, Rose. You should've seen his face—the way he begged—"
"I can't believe you! You told him where I was staying, didn't you?"
"He just wants to talk—"
"I know what he wants, Hugo, and it has Albus written all over it." She ran an angry hand through her hair, "He just can't stand that things are going well for me so he has to intervene. This is just another one of his tricks."
Hugo met her gaze. "You don't mean that. Albus is, well… he's special. And he's insanely brilliant too. And a little kooky. And he's the only one that's your—"
My what?" She said bitingly, "Go on, say it. My friend? Albus doesn't have friends. He has people he uses and then disregards them. You know that. There's only one thing he's after and this time he doesn't get it. I'm done with him."
Hugo rolled his eyes as she kissed his cheek and disappeared into the hallways.
"You always say that, Rose."
A/N I know this is an insanely long chapter, but I had to get all the backstory out so we can finally get to the good stuff. Leave your thoughts!

Scouting Report/Player Notes
Simon is a prospect who I believe has a ton of upside. You look at his measurables as well as his junior season, and you could have a potential day two or three steal on your hands here. He comes in at 6'2″ 202 pounds with a 4.51 40 yard dash, which is outstanding and validates his junior year where he had four interceptions and 45 tackles to go along with nine broken up passes. The Tigers dearly missed Tyrann Mathieu when all was said and done, but Simon was an underrated performer for them. With his size, he's more than capable of playing press man coverage in the NFL and getting guys off their routes at the point. He has good length for a defensive back, but can sometimes be beaten easily by quickness. He has good length, but with only nine reps on the bench press, it's fair to question his upper body strength, even though he is bulky for a corner. I think he is a bit of a project, but he is coming from a very highly regarded program with good measurables and production,

BLR Aerospace Gets EASA OK for Bell 205 FastFin Mod
The EASA has certified the FastFin tail rotor enhancement and stability system for the Bell 205. It follows recent certification for the Bell 212, and Bell 412 certification is under way. "With FastFin, most operators will receive between a 10- and 90-percent increase in useful load depending on specific model and density altitude," said Dave Marone, vice president of sales and marketing for BLR Aerospace.
"European operators flying in demanding conditions and challenging environments can expect measurable improvements in safety and reduced pilot workload by adding FastFin to their Bell. This mod is particularly useful for utility operators such as long line, fire fighting, heliskiing and other operations where load factor is an issue. For example, on the Bell 412 it can translate to an additional 15 percent of useful load," Marone told AIN.
The system includes two parallel stall strips, known as dual tailboom strakes, on the tailboom and a reshaped vertical fin. FastFin optimizes airflow around the tailboom, dramatically improving tail-rotor authority and wind azimuth tolerance. FastFin also reduces operating costs and reduces cycle fatigue in structures and demands on tail-rotor rotating components.

Book Description:
"Its members consisted of some of the finest guerrilla-fighting men in the western world, unconventional in many ways, disregardful of parade-ground discipline, unorthodox in their dress, yet a force so tightly knit in the face of danger that those who knew anything about them could only marvel" - The Citizen. Formed in 1973 by the legendary Lieutenant-Colonel Ron Reid-Daly at the behest of Rhodesian military supremo General Peter Walls, the Selous Scouts were to write their name into the annals of military history as one of the finest counterinsurgency units of all time, through their innovative pseudo-guerrilla tactics, brilliant reconnaissance operations into Zambia and Botswana and daring flying-column raids into Mozambique. Feared and hated by the liberation movements ZIPRA and ZANLA, the Scouts wreaked untold havoc and destruction on their Soviet- and Chinese-backed enemies, accounting for 68% of guerrilla casualties within Rhodesia alone during the bitter bush war of the 1970s. Uniquely ahead of its time, the regimen - a brotherhood of men that traversed cultural and racial barriers; their Shona motto was 'Pamwe Chete' (together only) - was to produce the type of soldier that earned for the unit one Grand Cross of Valour, nine Silver Crosses and 22 Bronze Crosses of Rhodesia.Peter Baxter is an author, amateur historian and African field, mountain and heritage travel guide. Born in Kenya, Peter has lived and travelled over much of southern and central Africa. He was educated in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), leaving the country after independence for an extended bout of travel before returning in 1989. Since then he has guided in all the major mountain ranges south of the equator, helping develop the concept of sustainable travel, and the touring of battlefield and heritage sites in East Africa.

He is married with three children.REVIEWS "Undoubtedly one of the most, if not the most, effective counter-insurgency units in the history of warfare" Lt-Col Robert Brown, Soldier of Fortune magazine"Africa@War is a ground-breaking series concept, studying Africa's conflicts and military players in an informative and entertaining manner, examining some of the lesser-known campaigns and shedding new light on some of the better-known operations ... Both titles are great models of what the combination of authors and publishers can produce by way of useable case studies for the market place in a concise illustrated format. They are recommended as professional military education references."Charles D. Melson, Chief Historian, U.S. Marine Corps"Each of the books in this series is a well-documented and researched synopsis of the events that they are focused upon. They layouts and presentation are logical and of a very high quality ... As an introduction to this field of operation, this series is outstanding. A definite asset for those wishing to improve their knowledge and understanding of the development of successful, multi-faceted doctrine in the fight against insurgent/assymetric war."Major Chris Buckham, Royal Canadian Air Force Journal

Jellied Cranberry Sauce has a certain nostalgia to it because the can-shaped log of clear cranberry juice made an appearance of many of our Thanksgiving tables growing up. While whole berry cranberry sauce seems to be a bit more popular these days (especially amongst foodies and food bloggers), you have to admit that the jellied sauce tastes pretty darn good when you slice it up ...

Cranberry Apple Sauce
I recently found myself with an apple overload in my kitchen. This rarely happens to me since I tend to go through apples very quickly (eating them plain, in pies, in crumbles, etc.), so I decided to take advantage of the situation with a recipe that calls for quite a few apples: applesauce. Applesauce is one of those foods that is so easy to make, ... Read More »
Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Rugelach
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas (Hanukkah, etc.) with their families and friends this year. I know I did. I feel that I am a bit late with these rugelach because they are a traditionally Jewish cookie and very popular during Hanukkah, especially at parties. This doesn't preclude them from being eaten the rest of the year, of course, but I must say that ... Read More »
Cranberry Orange Cookies
Every year I try to make one "different" cookie recipe around the holidays. I'm not saying that I go for something extreme, like chocolate chip bacon cookies, but I do like to have one thing on the Christmas cookie plate that isn't just chocolate chip oatmeal, gingerbread, shortbread or a sprinkle-laden butter cookie. Bright with orange zest and packed with chewy dried cranberries, these cookies ... Read More »
Dried Cranberry Dinner Rolls
Thanksgiving is only a week away and I don't know about you, but I'm already starting to think about what I'm going to serve. I don't usually do "test recipes," making up a batch of something before I intend to serve it, and this isn't one. Instead, these rolls came about as al the ideas that I had for different courses and ingredients were floating ... Read More »
Cranberry Citrus Cornmeal Cookies
I would have been tempted to simply call these "Alliterative Cookies", were it not for the fact that alliterative does not start with the letter "c". I like the way the current name just rolls of the tongue, though I will admit that I spent a bit of time switching the order of the words around. This is an adaptation of a recipe found in ... Read More »
Cranberry Cherry Crumble
I really like crumbles because they can be mixed up on a whim. Fruit in the bottom of a baking dish topped with a mixture of flour, sugar, butter and oats is just about as simple as a dessert can get. The crumble mixture can even be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a few days, which keeps the butter nice and firm ... Read More »
Fresh Cranberry Relish
Countdown to Thanksgiving: T-3 days. I like to be able to check things off my list in advance. There's always so much to do on Thanksgiving Day. Oh, I don't have a problem with the cooking, but it does get annoying to clean out bowls and appliances every 5 minutes when doing prep work for various dishes. This relish, from Food and Wine magazine is ... Read More »

Hey did you know that the first issue of Marceline and the Scream Queens went into a second printing? Did you know that I did the cover for it???
Because both of those things are true!
I nearly peed my pants when the lovely Shannon contacted me about doing a cover for Adventure Time. Originally it was going to be a con-exclusive cover, but with the runaway success of the comic, it was promoted to the second-print cover!! How exciting! Thank you for giving me the chance to contribute to this wonderful comic!!
Adam and I are obsessed with Adventure Time! Adventures with Jake the dog and Finn the human every night, forever!

California Crepes
Crepes a la California
522 Horton Plaza
Above the Horton Plaza Food Court
San Diego 92101
United States
Love them or hate them, crepes are showing up on more menus and as a specialty, which is the case at this casual eatery with a great location atop the Horton Plaza Mall. If you're lucky, you may get in on their periodic Dollar Crepe Tuesdays, which offers a selection of savory or sweet crepes for just one dollar. The crepes tend to be more Californian in their toppings and fillings - the only purely French offering is the crepe suzette - but the crepe itself is a traditional French recipe. Like all Horton Plaza eateries, they will validate your parking. On the dollar specials, they don't take credit cards. They have a limited delivery area downtown and will also cater. -deTraci Regula

The Utah Jazz get back into action tonight when they host the New Orleans Pelicans. The Jazz haven't played since Monday when they got beat up by the New York Knicks. Since then, there have been plenty of Jazz related topics floating around the web. This morning's edition of the Morning Jazz has plenty for you to catch up on!
With the Jazz in quite a slump, losing 16 of their last 18 games, Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin doesn't want to be asked about the lottery or the Jazz losing. In his latest article for the Salt Lake Tribune, Steve Luhm writes how Coach Corbin talks about how losing stinks and there upcoming matchup with Anthony Davis and the Pelicans. (via SaltLakeTribune.com)
Enes Kanter, the Jazz's third year center has not lived up to the expectations of a third pick, but he is however making progress. Kanter has heard Coach Corbin hollering at him from the sidelines for plenty of different reasons, but he knows that Corbin just wants him to get better. Aaron Falk of the Salt Lake Tribune writes how Kanter is taking steps forward and even though the season has been a little frustrating, it has came with it's rewards. (via SaltLakeTribune.com)
The Jazz held practice on Thursday morning and with less than 10 games to play in the regular season, you would assume that most guys would be ready to give up and get off season plans ready. Not the Jazz. Jim Burton of the Standard Examiner talks about how when asking Jazz man Richard Jefferson what the mood was around the team, he found out that the Jazz refuse to come unraveled and that the "guys want to get better." (via Standard.net)
Mike Sorenson of the Deseret News wrote yesterday about Jazz rookie point guard Trey Burke, who is trying to finish this grueling story on a positive note. Burke has had a lot of ups and downs in his rookie season with the Jazz, but he knows that it is just something that he has to play through. (via DeseretNews.com)
***This was an article that came out on Wednesday, but I never seen it until late last night. As most everyone knows, Jabari Parker is a member of the LDS church and has considered serving a 2 year mission before playing in the NBA. Whether you are an LDS church member or not, the deal that the NBA and the LDS church struck this week is something that is pretty cool. The NBA wants to ensure that Parker enters the NBA draft this year and the deal you will read about makes it so Jabari's decision could be a lot easier for him. (via buzz.io)
To get your morning started off right, be sure to check out our Morning Jazz segment every morning! Go Jazz!!!
***The Jabari article was part of an April Fools Joke. Yes….they got me. If that were to happen though, that'd be pretty sweet!

If youre looking for a Clearasil Coupon, youve come to the right place. Clearasil produces many skin products designed to keep your skin healthy and blemish free. We've been using their products in our family for many years now, and as such, we've been looking for a Clearasil Coupon every chance we got.
It's great that with the internet, we can now download or print Clearasil coupons straight from a coupon website. The real question is though, which websites have Clearasil coupons?
You will find many websites that come up in a search engine claiming great deals with Clearasil coupons, but often, you click through to these websites and there are no coupons for Clearasil after all. They might actually have other skin care products, but often, with these lousy coupon sites, even that would make you lucky to find. Some websites may have lotions, creams, skin products or even possibly the Clearasil coupons you seek, but when you look at the fine print you find out they're a couple years old an no good anymore.
Then there's always the websites that boast they have so many coupons for all these skin products and Clearasil coupons and discounts, but they won't let you see them until you give up an email address along with your name. Usually this doesn't get you Clearasil coupons either; it just gets you loads of spam in your email inbox. How do you find a website that actually has usable, printable, current, Clearasil coupons or at least some kind of lotion or skin product coupons?
Where to Find a Printable Clearasil Coupon
When seeking deals, discounts, or coupons, official sources are usually the best, and Clearasil coupons are no exception. You could spend a really long time online searching for just an extra few cents off for a Clearasil coupon and still find nothing but empty promises. Sometimes it's best to just break down and go with what you know; official Clearasil coupons from their website, if available, and the same goes for your local grocery store or supermarket; if these guys don't have coupons floating around somewhere, why would anybody else? registration.rb.com/clearasil.us/offers will ask you for an email to see promo offers, but at least it's actually from Clearasil instead of some bogus website. For a limited time they are offering a coupon for $3 Off any clearasil product.
Sparing that, there's always the supermarket weekly ads, which are usually available on their respective websites, and if the digital route isn't working for you, the Sunday paper has been tried and true for a very long time now. We hope this saves you a little time, but if you get lucky with an amazing coupon from a website, let us know; we could use it too!

How to Start an Arts Ministry in Your Church
- Tuesday, April 05, 2011
When the arts and artists begin to integrate into a church, that congregation becomes more complete and mature because the Body of Christ is operating as it should, with each part and gift building up the other. (Romans 12:4-6) (See Notes 8).
There is a renewal of the arts– a New Renaissance—that God is activating at this time in history. He wants to restore beauty, creativity, imagination and transcendence to their intended purpose, His glory. A reintegration of the arts into the Church and infusion of spiritually inspired art into the culture is underway and God is inviting you and your church to take your place in it.
- See a growing list of churches with Arts Ministries at http://TheNewR.org under, "The Arts in Your Church" , "Church Arts Ministries"
- For more information, ideas and resources go to The New Renaissance Rising at http://TheNewR.org.
- Revolutionary Leadership by Tri Robinson is a good book to read and pass on to arts leaders. See this article: Embracing the Arts in the Church: Pt. 2 for ideas on how to integrate the arts and maintain a standard of quality.
- Arts Survey available at http://TheNewR.org in "Materials and Ideas".
- See the book Finding Divine Inspiration (http://FindingDivineInspiration.com) for more on leading artists to hear God's voice.
- "Prayers for the New Renaissance" provided at http://TheNewR.org in "Material and Ideas".
- See "Materials and Ideas" at http://TheNewR.org.

bengal pro string problem
I was having a bad day trying to get it fixed. Dont want to make any one think bad of martin. They are good peaple. I would delete all the post if I could. Sorry all
I have had string problem with my new bengal. I called Joel very nice person to deal with. Joel told me to take it back were I got it to check it out. Well I have tried for about 3 weeks now and every time I have he has not been there. I was going to go to lancaster archery for a eye piece but it is 2.5hrs from my home and Joel told me to take it to the seller. Well I tried again on tues. and when I got there he was on his way out to do what ever and this was at 5pm shop closed at 8. I am finished with the shop I got it from. I going to call Joel and tell him that I now will have to drive 2 hrs to have it look at. I know there is a problem with it. I shot 1" groups at 40 yards with my little girls craze with it set for me. I like my bow but I dont feel safe shooting it like this. Seen the vid of a string derailing not cool. If I have to drive 2hrs I going to be a little well. I dont think Joel will make me do that. But if he wants me to. Ebay
What kind of problem is it that you are having with your string?
There is really only a couple choices here...have a dealer (ANY dealer) take a look at it, or send it to the factory for inspection. It is absolutely impossible to diagnose what may or may not be a problem with your bow over the telephone or internet. The 'issue' is probably something easily remedied.

Score from 520 reviews Review score
The hotel was very central and very old which we loved .Close to a small square with authentic bars and restaurants
No water sometimes useless shower .Poor breakfast
Really good location, you could walk to the duomo within 5 minutes, also walking distance to the central train station, Uffizi, Galleria dell'Academia. Breakfast is good, staff are all helpful (they take shifts, so you get to meet new ones everyday)
No lift in the building, so if you carry a heavy luggage, be prepare to climb "some" stairs. Only public area is covered with wifi, but that makes the canteen a good place to socialize and meet people from all over the world. Only room 9 is the exception, because it's the closest to the canteen.
You couldn't get better location than this. Staff were great, extremely helpful and breakfast was excellent. The room was very large and quiet.
Bathroom was small but ok and there was no TV. Wifi was only accessible in the front room and no air conditioning, but in Oct that is not an issue.
Near the city center. Staff was very helpful. Rooms were very spacious
Breakfast was small
Good location and good value. Rooms are big.
No wifi in room and no elevator.
Nice staff
No wifi reception in the room
The breakfast was okay.
The location is fantastic, easy to find, close to all tourist attractions, and we had a room with a view over the Duomo - Santa Maria a family of 4 with a big rooms, bathroom was great, but the water was temperature was temperamental, very clean and I would stay here again.
No WiFi in your room.
we stayed 2 nights, the buildingwas nice and givingyour the feelingyou live over there. the bathroom was inside the room, clean and enough hot water. The toilette was common for 4 rooms but always clean and always with the toilette paper and liquid soap. the price was reasonable for location and cleanless. The rbeakfast was also good.
The breakfast could include some cheese and tomatoes.
the owner needs to learn a little bit of customer service. tend to his guests needs and not huff around the place like its some chore, smoking cigarettes and moaning. a smile wouldn't hurt would it! :)
Great location. Fantastic 15th century building. Friendly staff and lovely breakfast.
The hotel is central but difficult to find, our GPS failled and nobody nearby knew the street. We booked a double room with a shower, but there was no water, we used the shared bathroom. Our room was faced to the street and very much noisy. If we close the window, the hot was unbareable. Thanks god there was a ventilator in our room!! The breakfast was ok for the 70 degrees we'd to climb to get in our destiny...
Location, nice/historical building, high ceilings. Clean room and friendly staff.
Very small shower
5 min to the cathedral. Close to all sightseeing spot. One of the listed very old building, is a experience to live in the history. Clean room. Big. Comfortable.
Very difficult to find. The sign is small. I need help from the shop attendant nearby. And no light after getting in a building with 1000 yrs old. Exactly the scene in horror movie. Suggest owner to put some lighting and big, eye-catching signage. I also notice other new visitor checking-in also have difficulty on finding the hotel. No lift. You have to carry the luggage to 2nd floor. And note that 1 floor of this building equal to >2 floor of our new building. But young guys should have no problem.
location is perfect, between the bridge and cathedral. rooms are big enough. breakfast is so good. linens was really clean.
internet is only in dining room. you won't have connection in your room careful about that. there was a dog in dining room. no elevator. it was hard to carry our big luggages.
Perfect location! Best value. Unforgettable experience of staying in a palazzo build in 16th century.
location price suited my family (ie 1 adult 3 kids) interesting historical building
5 big flights of stairs to room - no lift shared toilet reception staff could be more welcoming breakfast could be a little more interesting
Staff friendliness, roomy rooms. We got the room for 4 it was huge! We loved it!
The steps! There's no No problem when you go out to have fun, but checking in, and leaving are a hassle with all the suitcases and with the many many steps..
I liked that the room was spacious.
I did not like that there was only 2 toilets for the entire Hotel. I also did not enjoy having bites all over my body every time I woke up. And finally I did not like that when approached with this problem the staff dismissed my concern and did nothing.
Nice room.
Two bathrooms to share for way too many rooms. Wi-Fi not available in the rooms.
Centralised location in the heart of Florence, just around the corner (end of road and turn left) is the 'yellow bar' which we would also recommend for its excellent food and atmosphere. In the Bavaria the friendly and helpful staff were great, with the Receptionist speaking more than one language. The hotel has a very high level of cleanliness throughout, our breakfast was lovely, and included juices, cereals and assorted breads. The rooms are huge, bigger even than in the photo's! They also have very comfortable beds. Although the hotel only advises wifi works in the 'common parts', I was able to access it in our room without any issues.
It was in the perfect location! Just a few meters away from the Duomo and other tourist destinations. The breakfast was also wonderful!
It was located on the 3rd floor of an old building. It was quite an inconvenience bringing a luggage all the way up to the hotel.
Style of the hotel was great, amazing breakfast
