OP cmon.
Since the early days of pen and paper rpgs were founded on progression.. wtf? Yeah we played D&D and the likes for fun, but we wanted to progress our character. We wanted levels, skills, and gear.... wtf? sorry.. it's late here.
pen and paper gave birth to mmorpgs. in case you did not know /roll, or RNG (Random Number Gernerator/tion) they come form 1d3s 1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 1d10, 1d12s......1d100s. Those are die, that's plural for dice just incase.
This is like asking fellow football players "Do you think we are trained to gain yards?"
sorry for the repost, but this thread is just amazing.
I am embarassed to admit it but yeah... I lost some of my motivation to play GW2 as soon as I hit 80... now dont get me wrong, I am still playing, exploring, pvping and will also create some alts but I am pretty sure I've seen the majority of the content and now when I hit 80 it doesn't feel the same even though I am still technically gaining skills.
Same happened with SWTOR... I will be more excited once they raise the cap...

Oh my, I do make a good point, even if I do say so myself
Yes, there are people that know what's important in life and those that stand in line waiting for a new iPhone... yep, life is full of those examples of people chasing the shiny. I'm not sure I'd say they're actually aspiring to anything though...
Yeah, that was a really messed up way of looking at things from nsign there - couch potatoes play games with out progression, but people who aspire to new and better things grind boars in MMOs.
Holy EQ flagellates, batman. The rationalization is strong in that one.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
"Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
It's quite simple really. In traditional theme parks, the end justifies the means. You grind to get what you wanted. GW2 uses a different formula. The means justifies the end. In GW2, The means is the end. Just how successful this was is largely subjective. Many think it's very successful, many do not. I think the overall problem and GW2's biggest challenge in this are the limits of modern technology and exactly what we can do with AI. Many feel that no matter how fun the activity initially is, if you have to keep doing it over and over, it loses that fun factor. And there is no way to make an MMO yet that doesn't revolve around repetition. GW2 took it as far as it can go, but for many, it wasn't enough.

I am 100% convinced. GW2 players are the people who were upset that Gladiators had better gear, and people who feel that more time invested should mean nothing.

I would like mmos to bill for in game time rather than monthly sub, sp the majority aren't subsidizing the hardcore and possibly to give these guys a kick up the arse to go out and get a real job.
I don't know what gladiator is, was that some Roman mmo?
Envy... I don't like it when you work harder/longer and get more than me.

Not for nothing, But someone who achieved Gladiator, probably picked up a bit of skill along the way, where as the casual PVPer, has casual PVP skills.
The Galdiator is committed to PVP where the casual PVPer isn't
Move them both to GW2. Who's gonna win? This "They only win because they have better gear" argument is only looking at one side.
Everything depends what your 'fun' in game is.
Small example:
1. Some people hate spending time on progressing their character because it takes them out of 'actually playing and having fun'
2. Some people hate if game have little, fast or no progression because progression is sizeable part of their fun and taking it out of the game makes game less fun,
That is just one of divides. There is possiblity of endlessly dividing into subcategories and creating new ones.
Argument about 'being trained into' is silly and could be reused for any type of game. In example "are MMO players trained into play for twitch..." or "are MMO players trained into play for rankings" or "are MMO players trained to play for cosmetic / visual progression" and so on and so on can be very long list.
Sorry but diffrent people are having fun from diffrent acitivies and fun is subjective thus any game can be ridiculed by anyone - just depend what author of 'ridiculing' is finding so called 'fun'.

Even if you played for ten years you still wouldn't max out your skills. You are always progressing so you just play the game.
And this is basically the difference between character/player progression and gear progression. Unfortunately, it appears the masses want the new shiny items rather than any actual progression.
It's like the following - if I may...
Well said sir.
It seems like there is a segment of gamers that may have forgotten what a game is.

If so lol, no. I haven't played wow for 7 years, and I mostly pveed in it anyway because its pvp is shit.
These wow guys aren't hardcore anyway (neither are gw2 players). Hardcore pvpers are playing things like.
Can not believe you put Eve in that list. They are some of the worst PvP'ers. But if you are making a list of the best gankers then I give you an A.

Half of the MMO players in the world today got their MMO start in a single title.
What do you think?
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
Trained I think is the wrong word. Society and life in general has humanity looking for the "next best thing." In an online MMO you are free to be exactly you. What you say...how you handle yourself...the whole bit. So it really shows.
So you look into these games and realize what people really do and how they really act and you being to learn something.
In my mind the lack of "gear progression" in this game..the no "gold star at the end of the day" will make it fail in the long term. Some sort of character progression needs to happen, that or create a real real "fun" aspect to stay there. This game just doesn't have it yet. However, it still is a great game all around.
Was just talking about this with a friend last night. I'd say yes, mmo players have been trained for progression during the past 10 years. It has raised a "gaming generation" of players to expect linear progression and an endgame that includes raiding. And if those things are not included in an mmo today (or if they are not apparent), then the game is "fail".
If we want to see sandboxes, we will need to retrain mmo players on how to think for themselves; how to use their imaginations, how to generate their own content and how to create their own fun rather than accept what a developer hands to them.

There's a difference between gear progression and character progression though.
My char earns some XP, improves his stats... my character has gotten stronger and better.
My char finds a shiny sword... my character has not gotten stronger nor better. He's got a new shiny sword. It may improve his stats, but without that sword - he's the same ol' character.
That gear provides such a bonus to stats...that it is a form of progression...is mind boggling to some.
Now doubt there are plenty that like that - that's fine. Not every game needs to be that way though. Some folks would like actual character progression...
Yes there is a bit of a difference (IMO not significant) between progression through gear and progression through stats. However in the the I my character is still that much better because of the gear or stats. People like progression thats what it comes down. They care less about how that progression comes and more about just are they getting stronger.
I started archery last year, started with a long bow, then moved to a recurve. The recurve provides more power with less weight. It was a progression. I have debated on getting a compound, signficantly more power, much less weight, better stabilizers and actual sights for varying distances. That would be gear progression and if I was interested in hunting I would probably go for it because it would improve my shots significantly. However between one day and the next I haven't improved, my gear has and as a result the results themselves are better.
I"m not really interested in the compound though, seems like cheating.
We just like progression.
It has nothing to do with MMOs, games are about progression and winning.
That is why achievements are such a powerful tool to keep people playing, it gives them a direct tracker on how much they are progressing.
Even in a game like Second Life, you are progressing by exploring the world, increasing the number of friends, buying land, buying items to fill the land.
Every game is progression on some level. An MMO without levels would still have progression through either how many dungeons you've done, what gear you've gotten, how many things you've killed, how much you've explored etc.
Most players these days are trained to only care about progression. Sometimes a popular game comes out that is not based on progression. Minecraft and Second life come to mind. Few people actually want a MMO with zero progression.
Progression is not the real issue though. The real problem is power creep because it make the experience overall feel very disposable. That is why people will go through a game like SWTOR and quit in a month where in the past players would need years to see and do everything in SWG. Back in the day you were not given everything instantly and few players used the same progression. In the original EverQuest rare loot was actually rare and the Epics were actually Epic that took months to aquire. Modern MMOs pretty much give the player the whole thing up front which the content locusts just devour and move on the next MMO.

Not just Eve. Some older MMOs did it right too and is why many want some reiteration of them to come back. For me, it was FFXI and how it handled progression. It's changed now, as levels are really easy to get, but before they made all those changes, I could play that game for years and still never see everything or finish everything I wanted to and this was good.
What is with these loaded thread titles? Progression isn't a negative and if anything, it's the main reason I even play MMORPGs or sRPGs or games with similar mechanics. Not alone, sure, but without a sense of progression, I sure wouldn't be as drawn to the game. I can apply this to FPS, RTS, Racing etc.
I'm sure you have seen the term "Skinner box" thrown around on the forums here. I think the difference between the progression you say is not negative vs the subject of the thread is self motivation vs unintended psychological conditioning. At least I hope it was unintentional.

No. RPG's are about progression. Always have and hopefully always will be. Even when I was playing pen and paper RPG, the progression of your character was a central activity.
Was it? Maybe your DM was super easy on you then. When I played D&D our characters would die all the time and we would have to roll a new one. Pretty sure we played just to get together and have some good times.
progression *is* enjoyment. They are not mutually exclusive.
I am playing BL2 now .. i enjoy shooting/killing stuff, and i enjoy leveling up becoming more powerful.

Fantasia Releases New Single "No Time for It"
The phrase "new year, new me" will make you nauseous within a week of the beginning of a new calendar year, but when we say that Fantasia Barrino fits that bill, rest assured it is nothing but the truth. The Grammy Award-winning vocalist is back with a vengeance with her new single, "No Time For It."
Produced by Brian Kennedy, the song is a mid-tempo number which sees the North Carolina native turning over a new leaf and leaving all of the negativity in the past.
"You wanna tell me how it is, but there's no time for it / You wanna tell me how you feel, but there's no time for it / Do ya thing, get ya change by the way, don't you think I'ma care, cause I'm not / Got my mind money and if it don't really matter I got no time for it," she sings.
Fantasia, known for her thunderous pipes, keeps her focus on herself and improving for the better. "I don't care for gossip / What they gonna say, just got off the plane / I'm strictly focused on commas and dollar signs in my pockets," she sings.
"No Time for It" is just the first move in a year during which Fantasia is gearing up to release her next album, which she describes as "Rock Soul."
"Rock Soul, it's so much more than a single genre of music. It's all music and those who love it," she explains (quotes via Rap-Up). "Rock Soul has not come without great sacrifice, taking many risks, and believing it would be embraced and received by the world. So now it's time to open the door to a new chapter of life, but yet still there are some things in life that I simply have 'No Time for It.'"

Iowa on Thursday announced that assistant coaches Bobby Kennedy and Jim Reid have joined the staff for the 2013 season.
Kennedy will coach the Hawkeyes' receivers, while Reid will work on the defensive staff in a yet-to-be-specified role. Reid replaces Darrell Wilson, who Wednesday was named Rutgers' secondary coach. Kennedy replaces Erik Campbell, who had been the Hawkeyes' receivers coach since 2008.
Iowa also confirmed Thursday that running backs coach Lester Erb left the program "to pursue other opportunities." Erb spent the past 12 seasons with the Hawkeyes coaching running backs, wide receivers and special teams. Although victimized repeatedly by AIRBHG, Erb continued to produce capable Big Ten running backs, most recently Mark Weisman.
"I am very appreciative of Lester and Darrell's many positive contributions to Iowa football over the years and wish them both the best moving forward," Ferentz said in a prepared statement. "I am excited to have Bobby and Jim join our staff. Both men have coaching experiences that will complement and supplement our staff and team in a positive way."
Kennedy coached Colorado's receivers the past two seasons, but he spent the previous seven years (2004-2010) coaching wideouts at Texas, where he worked alongside current Iowa offensive coordinator Greg Davis. Although the Hawkeye players are still adjusting to Davis' system, Kennedy's familiarity with it should help.
Reid spent the past three seasons as Virginia's defensive coordinator and associate head coach. He was fired in early December along with three other assistants after the Cavaliers finished 4-8. The decision to fire Reid puzzled some like colleague Heather Dinich, as Virginia ranked 28th nationally in total defense in 2012. Reid coached outside linebackers for the Miami Dolphins in 2008 and 2009 and has served as head coach at VMI (2006-07), Massachusetts (1986-91) and Richmond (1995-2003).
It'll be interesting to see what position Reid coaches on the defensive side and what role, if any, he has assisting coordinator Phil Parker with play-calling.
Iowa will have three new assistants for 2013 after announcing new tight ends coach D.J. Hernandez earlier this month.

While I Was Away

I took the weekend to go out to the middle of nowhere (no cell service, barely functional roads, hours from civilization) thinking 'it's the middle of July – nothing's going to happen while I'm gone.' As it turned out, quite a bit happened in the NHL while I was drinking beer and jumping into ice-cold creeks.
Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer

July 25 2012 09:57AM
I really love being a Hockey Dad. Since I didn't play hockey as a kid, I relish the experiences of life at the rink as I watch my oldest daughter plays her favourite sport (and mine). There are some crazy hours and early mornings and there can be a lot of driving, but it's all worth it. I don't suppose that makes me different at all from any of the other hockey parents. We all love watching our kids play and are proud to help them do so.
What does make me have a different perspective on watching my kid play hockey is that my 10-year-old hockey playing daughter is a cancer survivor, who lost her kidney to cancer surgery one week after her fifth birthday.
Luckily for us, our daughter fought back and conquered her cancer. Now, our family does what we can to raise money to help the fight against cancer. So when I first learned about Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer, a dawn-to-dusk fundraising event centred on a massive road hockey game, I jumped at the chance to volunteer and fundraise.

Above is Tyga - a young star in the Cash Money/Young Money Rap Empire. He has a slammin track called Rack City where he talks about how he will rain down money on dancing girls given half a chance.
After the jump is Nail Yakupov - the newest star in the Rexall Sports/Edmonton Oilers Hockey Empire. He hasn't released a slammin' track that we have heard but the instant he smashes his first goal into the ice hockey net we will start dancing around and doing our best Tyga impersonation yelling "YAK CITY YAK YAK YAK CITY BITCH"

Yesterday Scott Howson joined a long list of GMs who were forced to trade away a star player and then be criticized because they didn't get enough in return. Make no mistake Howson was dealing from a position of weakness. The minute a star player's trade demands go public his value goes down.
Some were comparing the Mike Richards trade to Nash, but they aren't the same. Richards didn't ask to be dealt and that's why Paul Holmgren was able to get Wayne Simmonds and Brayden Schenn, but the Kings still won that deal.
When you trade the best player it is hard not to lose the trade, and even though Nash isn't a superstar, the Rangers won the deal. The only way the deal will even out is if Tim Erixon turns into a top-two defender, or the late first rounder develops into someone similar to Jordan Eberle.
But is Howson done dealing?

The Browns selected Stanford fullback Owen Marecic today with their second pick of the fourth round (124th overall pick). Marecic also played middle linebacker in college.
In fact, the 6-foot, 246-pound Marecic was a full-time starter on both sides of the ball and the only player in Division I Football Bowl Subdivision to do so. He scored on offense and defense in the same game against Notre Dame in 2010. The touchdowns were 13 seconds apart.
Marecic said he believes the Browns intend to use him as a fullback in their West Coast offense. He said he discussed the subject with Browns coach Pat Shurmur shortly after he was drafted.
Marecic primarily served as a blocking fullback. He compiled only 36 carries for 67 yards and one touchdown in his four seasons at Stanford.
Former Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh, who's now the coach of the San Francisco 49ers, once described Marecic as "the perfectly engineered football player." Marecic was also a first-team Pac-10 all-academic selection.
Marecic was a teammate of Browns tight end Evan Moore at Stanford. After Marecic was drafted, Moore posted the following message on Twitter: "Owen is a stud. Happy to have him in CLE!"
After he was drafted, Marecic conducted a conference call with local reporters. Here is a transcript from the conversation:
Browns fullback Owen Marecic conference call 4-30-11
(On what position he will play in NFL) -- "I've been training as a fullback. I always tried to train to be a football player but fullback may be the place I feel at home best."
(On if the Browns consider him a fullback) -- "Yes, I believe so."
(On what he knows about Cleveland and if he thinks he will be a good fit in the West Coast offense) -- "After talking with the coaches briefly, they said it would be a great fit with the West Coast offense. I was a part of a similar offense for four years in college so it can be a great fit. I think the schemes and systems are very similar to what I've been used to running so hopefully, it won't be too much time, too much of a shock to learn a new system. I'll kind of have some experience with it from my college years."
(On if he still stays in touch with his Pop Warner Coach, Clay Matthews) -- "I'm great friends with his son, Casey Matthews, who was actually just drafted by the Eagles I believe. We still keep in touch. It's been fun, this process, through the Combine, the Senior Bowl. We've kept running into each other and catching up so it's fun."
(On if he has talked to Browns tight end Evan Moore) -- "He was here training here earlier in the quarter. I didn't have a chance to talk to him too often, but he was here working hard. I haven't seen him for a little bit, so I haven't had a chance to talk to him. He's loved his time with the Browns to say the least."
(On where he is) -- "I'm on campus. I'm still in school, so I'm at Stanford."
(On his expectations of where he would get drafted) -- "I'd say this about where I hoped to be now. I'm really excited. You definitely get anxious, very excited going into the weekend so I'm very, very excited to be a Cleveland Brown."
(On the Notre Dame game last year when he scored an offensive and defensive touchdown) -- "It was a great game, very fun. It was awesome to get a win at Notre Dame. We hadn't done that my time here so it was good to be a part of a team that could do that. For those plays, I always say it's more a testament to the team than to myself. Stepfan Taylor took the ball, like 40 or 60 yards hard down the very physical Notre Dame defense. He got the ball down to about the one inch line and I just had to get it in from there. Then coming back on defense Matt Masifilo, our defensive lineman, had a great rush on the quarterback and was right in his face when he threw the ball, so all I had to do was catch it. It was a lot of fun. It was great to be a part of a couple plays that kind of clinched the game in our favor, but it was a typical display of what a team has to do collectively to win a ballgame."
(On if playing both ways was the Stanford coaches' decision) -- "It was the coaches' idea. It kind of came around my junior year. We were pretty thin at linebacker after a couple injuries at the position about halfway through the season. I started to try to learn the defense about halfway through the year and played here and there. But, we switched defensive coordinators for my senior season and I spent all spring ball learning the new system on the defensive side. Being able to learn it with the other guys for the first time helped out a lot from the mental side. We went into training camp seeing if we could make it work and we did and took it from there."
(On if he will miss playing defense) -- "Hopefully I can find big ways to contribute on special teams, which is a little bit of defense in itself. It was a lot of fun playing (defense) but I'm fully committed to doing whatever I have to do to help the team."
(On how brutal a job playing fullback can be) -- "I think I'll go into it trying to take it one day at a time. Right now, start pouring everything I have into my training. Once it is time to play football again, taking it a day at a time and I'll pour everything I have into making this roster."
(On how his physicality might fit into the AFC North) -- "There are such great players who have been playing for a very long time. I'm going to do my best, everything I have to do to get ready for it and help out the team."
(On his receiving ability) -- "I think I have decent hands. I definitely can work on it as well as any part of my game. I think it's a job that I can do and I'm excited for that role of the position."
(On academic accolades and if he blew the doors off the Wonderlic test) -- "I don't know about the Wonderlic test. I have no idea. Problem not, I've never really tested too well on standardized tests. I've taken academics very seriously and it's a huge part of life being a Stanford student-athlete. Human biology has been an interest of mine more than anything else so it's been fun to pursue studies in that area during my time in college. I'll graduate in June and I'm just really excited to pursue a career in football."
(On who he spoke to with the Browns in the pre-draft process) -- "In the pre-draft process, I met with the Browns over in Indianapolis at the NFL Combine. I talked with scouts here and there during the process and today I talked to the head coach."
(On his belief that he will make it in the NFL) -- "I believe I can. I understand that it's a huge challenge and that challenge attracts me to the sport and to the opportunity. I know that all of the work is out there to be done and nothing is set right now but I'm going in confident and willing to do the work necessary. I know I have tons to learn and lots to improve on but I'm excited to take the next step in this process."
(On his GPA) -- "It's in the 3.5-3.6 area."
(On people describing him as a throwback player and if that's his mentality) -- "I wouldn't really say it's my mentality, but it is kind of a label people put on me. I don't know, I don't really consider myself too throwback, I just try to do things the best way that I can."
(On if he's heard from Clay Matthews since the Browns took him) -- "I haven't but the process has gone pretty quick. It hasn't been too long since the selection. We may be able to get in touch a little bit later today."
(On blocking for Peyton Hillis and being part of a physical backfield) -- "My roommate just came in and said he was going to be on the cover of Madden, I think this year. That is a testament to his talent as a football player. I know watching parts of the season last year, he's an incredible athlete. He's just a force of nature. I'm excited. I'm definitely very, very humbled by this whole experience in the last hour or so. Like I keep saying, I'm just excited to get back to work and training and hopefully be able to contribute to the team and help them out in any way that I can."
(On getting a sense from the Matthews' family how important football is in Cleveland) -- "I think so. I know Clay is very proud to be part of the Cleveland Browns family. They are huge football fans and growing up, just the tradition was evident watching Browns games and hearing about the team. I'm very excited to join that whole tradition."
(On what he likes about the game of football) -- "I like that in order to be successful, the entire team has to come together to reach this greater goal. That has always been an attractive part of the game to me. I enjoy the challenge and the feeling of winning. Coming off the field victorious with your teammates is second to none. The emotion, it's a big rush. You learn a lot about yourself and the people around you and it has been a great experience for me playing the game."

A few weeks back, on a rainy Monday night, we were invited along to be the first audience to preview the re-issued, sound-heavy, visually delicious "Ghostbusters" at Melbourne's Astor Theatre. It had been 25-plus years since I'd seen it in a cinema and quite frankly, it looked and played just as well as ever did; if not for the aches and pains, silver strains of hair and 4-year-old, I'd swear I hadn't aged. And neither had it. Sure, those demonic dogs could've done with a last-minute ILM touch-up and a teaser for "Ghostbusters 3" could've been tacked onto the end of the print, but by-and-large, the film didn't play like a crusty-old offering from the Columbia library (Maybe there's still hope for a re-issue of "Nadine" with Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger!?). It was awesome to see the film on the big screen again – and even better that I didn't jump this time when the library spite pops up at the start of the film. And yeah, it does make you miss the fine work of both William Atherton and Rick Moranis – two fine actors you just don't see enough of anymore.
Ashleigh and Mike also had the chance to check out "Ghostbusters" again on the big screen and being that he was the one who could be bothered putting pen to paper (I enjoyed not having to review a film, quite honestly; sometimes you just want to watch something that isn't considered 'work'; Ashleigh, on the other hand, only has one thing to say "It doesn't hold up as well as Back to the Future does'), we let him do the review.
Here's Mike's post-show notes from the "Ghostbusters" screening.
Bill Murray wanted to be serious.
Coming off such hit comedies as "Caddyshack," "Stripes" and "Tootsie," Murray, like many funny people, hoped to challenge himself creatively. He convinced Columbia to put up $13 million for him to star in a remake of the film "The Razor's Edge," with Murray himself starring in the role played by Tyrone Power. Unwilling to finance the film at first, Columbia then became aware of a screenplay that Dan Aykroyd had written for he and his pal John Belushi to star in entitled "Ghost Smashers." In short, Murray replaced Belushi, Columbia ponied up the thirteen mill and a comedy classic was born.
New York City. When we first meet Dr. Peter Venkman (Murray) he is giving an ESP test to two volunteer students, to no avail. He is interrupted by his two colleagues, Ray Stantz (Aykroyd) and Egon Spengler (Ramis) who inform him of a possible ghost sighting at the local library. Once there the trio meet up with the ghostly image of a long dead librarian. This contact encourages them to start their own business, which will allow the public with spirit problems to call for help. They call themselves Ghostbusters.
Co-written by Aykroyd and Ramis, "Ghostbusters" is a fun romp with a couple of comedy's greatest stars at the top of their game. Murray brings his familiar dead pan expression to the forefront here, milking it for all it's worth. He has some of the better lines and his timing is impeccable. Same with Aykroyd and Ramis. This is Ramis' second feature film (following "Stripes") but he more than holds his own alongside his co-stars. Supporting players Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts also do well, with the normally straight laced Weaver taking a turn as a seductive she-demon.
If there is anything poorly done in the film it is the special effects. (NOTE: Even by 1984 standards, the effects were pretty crappy. Surprisingly, "Ghostbusters" was nominated for the Special Visual Effects Oscar, along with "2010" and the film that would win the award, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.") Most of the stop motion is quite jumpy while the nuclear "blasts" from the Ghostbusters' weapons is not rendered cleanly. I will say that the spiritually conjured up Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man is pretty impressive. (NOTE: like a lot of movies filmed in New York City prior to September 11, 2001, there are many shots of the World Trade Center, which gave me, and the audience, pause when they first appear on screen.)
History will show that "Ghostbusters" went on to become, until "Home Alone," the highest grossing comedy of all time, earning $13 million in its opening weekend, which I'm sure Columbia put towards the box office bomb that was "The Razor's Edge." Murray continued to get serious and in 2003 he earned a Best Actor Academy Award nomination for his work in "Lost in Translation."
Man, I'd love to see some of the other films of the Hawke-era back on the creamy curtain-adorned theatre screen. I see "Poltergeist" is going to be playing locally in a couple of weeks, so I'm considering revisiting it, but a nice, wide re-issue of some of the other classics from our time – like "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", "Aliens", "Die Hard", "Gremlins", "The Lost Boys", "Terminator", "Romancing the Stone", "Beverly Hills Cop", "Eddie and the Cruisers"… heck, "A Nightmare on Elm Street"… would be heaven. Particuarly if a diet coke and large popcorn comes with.

Arianna Huffington's Advice to Sales Professionals: Get Some Sleep
"They're saying, 'It's not just good for you, it improves our bottom line,'" said Huffington. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos makes a point of getting eight hours of sleep a night, she said, paraphrasing Bezos to explain, "If I make fewer decisions because of more sleep time, but they're 5 percent better, it's financially worth it to Amazon." Encouraged, Huffington believes a shift is underway. "We're at a moment [with sleep] where were at in the '50s and '60s with smoking," she said. "The data was in, but it was still being glamourized. … But there's a big culture shift happening. … Finally, the culture is catching up with the science."Stop. Right now. Without looking, how much battery life is left on your smartphone? Huffington made the point that most people can answer that question, but are oblivious to their own physical state. "The day I collapsed, if you had asked me, 'Arianna, how are you?' I would have said, '"Fine.' … I didn't realize my battery was at 0 percent," she said, making the point that "we all take better care of our smartphones than we do our bodies." She called exercise and nutrition a two-legged stool in need of a third natural leg—sleep. "I want to give everyone here permission to sleep in instead of hitting the treadmill!" she told the audience. How do we change our approach to sleep? Take microsteps, she advised. Begin by putting 'your electronics to bed and then taking as much care to calm yourself before bedtime as most would a child—use a routine. "We need a 'Goodnight Moon' for adults—'Goodnight smartphone, goodnight terrible boss, goodnight client who didn't call back,'" Huffington said, discussing the need to accept the day for what it was and mentally put a close to it. "Montaigne, the French philosopher, said there were many terrible things in my life, but many of them never happened," she added, illustrating the negative paths we tend to go down, laying awake at 3 a.m., reviewing the details of our week and fearing the worst. Her own transformation has included a 30-minute pre-bedtime ritual (a microstep would be to start with a 10-minute ritual) that includes a bath with Epsom salts, dedicated sleeping clothes (changing her old habit of falling asleep in her gym clothes) and reading a physical book unrelated to work. But her most critical step of all: buying an alarm clock so the smartphone can sleep in a different room. While people can and do function without proper sleep, she reiterated, creativity is absolutely slaughtered by it. Smartphones are a portal to distractions that kill creativity. "It's why we have our best ideas in the shower!" she insisted. "I'm terrified that Apple will produce a waterproof iPhone. And that'll be the end of good ideas in the shower."

Introducing Glucose Health® Daily Blood Sugar Maintenance!
Today, diabetes is a topic of discussion in virtually every American family. At this website, you will learn about the lifestyle factors that increase your risk of developing Type-2 diabetes...and its many debilitating complications, including cardio-vascular disease, stroke, nephropathy (kidney damage) and neuropathy (nerve damage). You will also read about people who take Glucose Health® as part of their daily routine - which when combined with modest lifestyle changes offers a natural path forward to a better and more healthy future!
Glucose Health® is a natural dietary supplement available in a pleasant tasting Blueberry Tea Mix - just add water to taste. The 9 vital ingredients in the Glucose Health® formula include soluble extracts of Blueberry, Cinnamon Tree Bark, Green Tea Leaf, White Tea Leaf, Vitamin C, extract of Stevia Leaf, extract of Purple Carrots, Vitamin C, Chromium Picolinate and natural soluble dietary fiber from Corn. Certain clinical studies indicate these particular ingredients have important impacts upon blood sugar, insulin, triglycerides and cholesterol, of interest to persons with pre-diabetes and Type-2 diabetes.
To learn more, please visit the Glucose Health® Formula section of our website - click here.
Insulin resistance is the first indication of a potential future with health complications related to pre-diabetes and Type-2 diabetes. Insulin is a hormone which enables the cells in your body to absorb blood glucose. Insulin resistance occurs when higher than normal levels of glucose begin to accumulate in the blood. Insulin resistance is associated with elevated levels of triglycerides and lower levels of HDL ("good" cholesterol). Insulin resistance is an opportunity - if discovered - because it is reversible with changes to certain lifestyle factors. Insulin resistance often progresses to pre-diabetes. Today, more than 86 million persons are estimated to be prediabetic. Pre-diabetes is also reversible with only modest changes in lifestyle. Current research indicates pre-diabetes will generally progress to a diagnosis of Type-2 diabetes within 10 years if left un-managed. Once a diagnosis of Type-2 diabetes is made, the management of cholesterol (lipid targets) becomes essential - in addition to managing blood sugar. The fact is persons with Type-2 diabetes have risk of major coronary events similar to that of (non-diabetic) individuals with already established coronary heart disease. The bottom line - taking action today, can mean a more healthy future.
To learn more, please visit the Lifestyle Factors section of our website - click here
Drink Glucose Health® before or after breakfast, lunch or dinner - instead of a high calorie afternoon snack (the fiber content of Glucose Health® is similar to the leading fiber-only supplements such as Metamucil or Benefiber) - or as a sports drink to stay hydrated during exercise. Choose your goals and Glucose Health® can help you achieve them!
Glucose Health® can be purchased here at our website with shipping included (click here) and through a growing network of pharmacy retailers.
Glucose Health® the results don't start...until you do!

The Auto Club 500 Post
Hi Everyone –
I have to tell you that this past race weekend was bigger than Daytona. I expect to win at Daytona and I expect to be up front. And when it comes to the Auto Club Speedway, I have had top-10 finishes and I have run well there, but with these new cars, our team up until this point, really hasn't been able to hit on it at a place like California. To start last and finish 15th is an accomplishment. I am really proud of my NAPA team.
After practice on Saturday, I was fairly confident that we would be competitive. On about lap five or six of the race, we had passed more cars than we did in all together in 2007 and 2008. I was really optimistic from the start because I liked the way the tires felt under me. I knew how to press it and when to press it. To start last, and make our way up to 15th makes me proud. I am real proud of Bootie. He is just on his game. He thinks about everything. He is always preparing and getting himself in a position to know what he has to do next. If the caution flag falls or not, I can just hear it in his voice that he is getting ready for what might be two or three steps down the line. It was real fun for me to listen to him call the race on Sunday. It gives me a lot of confidence as we race forward. I believe we can have continued success. Don't get me wrong, 15th is a long way from where we expect to be, but there were times on Sunday where we had a car that was top-five material. We just didn't hit it right with adjustments. We'll just keep working because this was a huge test. If we would have left with a 27th or 28th-place finish, and that's very easy to do because there were some good cars that left California in that very same situation, I believe we needed to be better than that. We needed to step up and be better than we have been in the past. David's team over the course of last season was able to step up and run in the top 10 and top 15. In my opinion, they have passed a test or two. My team hadn't. With Bootie's direction, leadership, and preparation, I feel good about what's happening. I am really proud of Bootie.
I think California is a good gauge as to how we should run at Las Vegas. These 1.5-mile tracks are pretty much the same. It's a track that has been a struggle for us with this new car and California is certainly a track where we have struggled in the past. To be able to put a solid run in the books is good so we can now look forward to going to Las Vegas and doing it again.
Before I go, I just want to talk about my buddy Ron Capps and his two-race winning streak he has going. He's a really fast learner. I have taught him a lot about parts. He didn't really get it at first. I mean, the first race I ran for NAPA, I won. It took him a year to win. That's pretty good to be honest with you. I think I'm just an over achiever by nature. For him to be able to spend a little bit of time under my wing and understand how the parts work and what the parts do and then spend the winter thinking about all that I taught him – it's just rewarding for me to watch him apply it now. It just says wonders about how he pays attention.
He's also a great partner to play games with …
I'm getting ready to head to Vegas now so have a great week and enjoy the race on Sunday!
Talk to you soon!

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Jannik Hansen scored the winning goal, and rookie goalie Eddie Lack made 18 saves to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 2-0 victory over the Calgary Flames on Sunday night.
Vancouver took the lead in the final minute of the first period on a terrific breakaway pass from Henrik Sedin and an even better finish by the speedy Hansen.
With the puck inside his blue line, Sedin spotted Hansen darting up the ice. Looking like a quarterback, Sedin paused as Hansen got open behind Mark Giordano and lofted a long pass that connected at the Flames' blue line.
Hansen controlled the puck and quickly whipped a shot past Reto Berra.
Lack (7-2-0), making his third consecutive start with Roberto Luongo (lower body) on the injured list, won his fifth straight and earned his second shutout.
Mike Santorelli also scored for Vancouver (23-11-6), 10-1-1 in its last 12.
Calgary (14-19-6) fell to 1-2 on its five-game homestand.
Coming off a 2-0 loss to Edmonton on Friday, the Flames have been shut out at home for a span of 125 minutes and 5 seconds.
Berra (5-10-2) was sharp throughout. He kept the game 1-0 until 1:16 was left in the game when Santorelli converted on a 2-on-1 rush on Vancouver's 30th shot.
It took a while for Lack to face his first shot. The Canucks built a 10-0 edge in the first period before Lack made a solid save at the 13 minute mark off Mike Cammalleri.
The game got off to a rousing start when rugged Flames fourth-liner Brian McGrattan got his arm up high on a heavy hit along the side boards in the Canucks end that caught defenseman Andrew Alberts in the head and flattened him.
While Alberts remained down and not , McGrattan squared off in a fight with Canucks enforcer Tom Sestito.
McGrattan, who entered the night with 34 penalty minutes in 35 games, received a fighting major, an elbowing major, and a game misconduct.
Alberts didn't return.
NOTES: Henrik Sedin needed stitches after getting hit in the ear by a puck in warmups. He played in his 669th consecutive game, the second longest active streak and sixth longest in NHL history. ... Flames C Markus Granlund, recalled early Sunday from Abbotsford (AHL), didn't play because Mikael Backlund was in the lineup. Granlund, 20, has never played in an NHL game. ... Calgary's only lineup change was inserting Derek Smith on defense for Chris Breen. ... Twenty-five of the Flames 39 games have been decided by one goal, which leads the NHL.

Your Franchise Business Opportunity
The Lawnscience lawn care business is built on service and flexibility. This is one of the key reasons why we are successful at both recruiting new customers, into lawn care, and also regularly winning customers from our competitors.
As part of the process of building our business model we have developed several marketing initiatives which will drive new potential lawn care clients to your new business.
Your initial contact with a potential customer will come as a result on one of these marketing initiatives or quite often because one of your current customers has referred you to a friend, relative or neighbour.
The first stage of your service will be to undertake a professional appraisal of their lawn, this is a critical stage and one where many of our competitors fail. At Lawnscience we take more time to really understand a new clients lawn and what needs to be done to bring it up to its potential.
Having fully understood the condition of the lawn you will advise your client as to what treatments are required to improve it and also its future maintenance needs. Having gained the go ahead, which is normally given at your first meeting, you will commence your treatment program and maintain regular contact with your customer to keep them appraised as to their lawns progress.
Throughout the year our marketing programmes will help you to maintain contact with your customer supplying quality advice and guidance throughout the year.

rotating image gallery program/script
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 USD
- Total Bids 6
Project Description
i need a rotating image gallery built upon this script:
"[url removed, login to view]"
1. i need it to loop through one folder of ten images for one hour.
2. after that hour it switches to the next folder of ten images.
3. repeats infinitely.
basically i want a rotating banner system that runs through one set of images in one folder from 6-7am,
then at 7:01 switches to the next set, runs through that folder, and repeats this process 24 hours a day.
i'm open for suggestions as to the functionality, and any suggestions that would make my life easier are welcomed.
i am VERY interested in seeing if i can get a GUI to go with this.
this is the first in a series of projects and is very much considered to be a test drive of a programmer.
doing the project using cakephp is a plus because im sloooowly teaching myself, but i am also interested to see it done in python, using a database instead of folders...
creativity and simplicity will be rewarded with the next project.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
We found rooms very comfortable and staff very friendly and helpful
The room was set up as single though it was booked as single i.e. only one chair, had to look for extra towels etc. Breakfast was disproportionally expensive.
A nice hotel run by friendly and helpful staff, and in walking distance to the main shopping area. The pillows are very uncomfortable. The bed was fine.
Restaurant did not open until 7am for breakfast.
Clean and comfortable Car park was tiny and had a 1/2 mile walk to/from the overflow carpark also breakfast was not included :-(
The whole experience was brilliant wasn't sure what to expect but succeeded these expectations
The hotel is very clean and of an excellent standard. It is well situated for Ipswich and the surrounding area. I stayed there for one night as I was attending a training course nearby. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone for a similar purpose. The car park is very small but other parking is available about a three minute walk away
Clean, bright, modern hotel and rooms with friendly staff. Car parking. Not enough customer parking on site and you can only park off site from 5.30pm till 9.30am.
Staff friendly , approachable, discreet. None
Massive Bed, brilliant breakfast (especially the egg chef!), well priced parking (for Brighton) Not enough power sockets in the room and the shower dripped when it was turned off.
The inprovements in the rooms since I last stayed in a Novotel
I have stayed at this hotel before and found the staff on both occasions to be very polite and helpful. I cannot think of anything I didn't like.
The rooms are very comfortable, but noisy due to outside traffic noise. The cooked part of the breakfast was dry and overcooked thus wasn't the money!
The staff were very friendly, although English language proved slightly difficult. On the Front Desk Notice Board it stated: Breakfast £12 but did not state per person or per Room? Whereas the other prices were per Room
The location so close to the City centre of Ipswich. Just 10 min. walk. There was no free WiFi in the room.
the bar closed too early.
The lobby and bar area are newly furnished. The hotel was empty so we were always served immediately. We upgraded the room but it was still very basic and in need of a lick of paint. Decent shower though.
the breakfast is excellent....
Very comfortable bed. The breakfast chef was very attentive - the poached eggs were perfect! Shortage of car parking space on site. Pay & display parking available over the road. Beware traffic wardens are very vigilant(especially from 8am)
No hassle Wedding guests seemed more important than other guests. £12 for breakfast is just too epensive. Car parking arrangement was broken on first day.
Suffolk Grill for breakfast, powerful hot shower, comfortable bed and nice bedlinen, nice big soft towels, cleanliness, Staff attitude, spaciousness of room and bathroom, ambience of hotel in a sympathetic conversion. Lift was out of order and we were on 3rd floor, washbasin tap that is too clever to be functional (you have had to publish instructions on how to use it etched on the mirror for heaven's sake) and very, very irritating especially when you have hair gel on your hands and you're trying to turn it on to wash them...fresh towels on the 2nd day that shed fluff like i don't know what.
Very friendly and efficient staff , fab location and food. Another very enjoyable stay at the Salthouse - hope we can stay for longer next time.
Staff extremely helpful. Beautiful room. Fantastic location. Left phone charge behind which 'disappeared'. This is the only negative and bascially our fault....
Very pleasent and friendly staff , very comfortable and relaxed feel to this hotel.Stayed at many but had to take time to fill review and recommendt his one.Fantastic marina setting.Would stay again.
Very friendly staff
very polite helpful staff nothing
The location A dog in room nearby barking during the night..............
This was our second stay in your beautiful hotel. As a birthday surprise for my husband two years running he was ecstatic to discover of our return. The room and view was beautiful, staff faultless with polite efficiency but also very friendly. I did speak to the lovely young man who was present at our arrival and then appeared in the restaurant about how fantastic our stay had been and thanked him. I also explained how important the stay had been,partly because I wanted it to go well for my husband's birthday but also due to the sad fact that in the last 18 months I have lost both my parents and my younger brother. Experiences like this act as a real tonic. Thank you so much! Could have done with more milk sachets.
Position and direction of bedroom. No separate bar which encourages you to leave the hotel for this facility. Noisy chambermaid in the morning. Had television on/music
The deco was fantastic, really gave you the wow factor when you came in from the street. I thought that replenishing your coffee tray during your stay was a very personal touch. I loved it all
The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The swimming pool was much appreciated with the jacuzzi and steam room. Breakfast was excellent - a very wide choice. We did not appreciate having to carry our bags up stairs and down very long corridors. £15 to use the internet was too expensive just to check e-mails.
The reception staff were particularly helpful and friendly. They made us feel very welcome. Comfortable room and quiet. Good gym. No lift for reaching first floor with heavy suitcases
I think that the hotel could do with being refurbished. The Evening meal was very poor for the price.
Breakfast buffet was very good Nothing
Good position and ease for getting into Ipswich. We enjoyed having the free use of swimming pool. Evening meal was mediocre and over priced. Drinks from the bar were extremely expensive
Very clean, jenny on reception is top class and runs a good front desk.
Poor check in, kept waiting. Long walk to room. No lift. Evening meal returned as under cooked.
We enjoyed the spa, helpful staff easy access to road system No lift in the hotel
Secure parking, good service. Extremely expensive bar and poor presentation of drinks
The room was comfortable, very clean and the daily servicing was excellent. Good breakfasts, and, we enjoyed the one dinner we had during our stay. It was well presented and reasonable value for money. All the staff were very friendly, helpful, efficient. Even the taxi firm used by the hotel had drivers with the same cheerful disposition - and nice clean cars as well. Not an ideal location in relation to the Town Centre if one did not have a car. But, we did not mind getting a taxi as the drivers were so good.
It was perfect totally exceeded my expectations!!!
Very relaxing wiyh good food. Very poor shower in bathroom (no pressure). No lighting over bathroom mirror in bathroom for shaving/make up etc.
Very friendly and helpful staff, good food and super location - just feet from the sea. Comfortable restaurant and lounge areas. And they take dogs! There was nothing to dislike at all but the parking at the hotel itself is a bit tricky.
It was snowing when we arrived but the hotel was lovely and warm and remained so throughout the weekend. The staff were lovely and the food excellent. We had been upgraded to a suite with sea view from an ordinary room with sea view. It didn't last long enough!
The view. The room service.
Service and food were superb. No
We last visited the before the re-furbishment, we were very impressed with the changes, our room was spotless, very warm and comfortable, lovely bathroom, good tea and coffee making facilities. The breakfast and evening meals were excellent, as were the staff in all areas, the gentleman who greeted us in reception deserves a special mention re parking of our car. as mentioned, car parking can be a problem as the public car park 50 mtrs from the hotel does not allow overnight parking. The hotel car park is very small there are open garaging spaces belonging to the hotel next door but are quite difficult to access.
The view from restaurant was lovely and the food first class. If you arrived by car difficulty in finding parking places!
Constant sound of waves breaking and sight of the ever-changing sea.
We were made very welcome, room was lovely, bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very tasty and we were really impressed that the owners had sourced as much of the produce locally as they could. Would definitely stay again.
the location was excellant. The breakfast menu was good especially using local produce. A little noisy through the building..(maybe the type of guests at that time!)
Family owned and run hotel with attention to detail. Friendly welcome and a 'customer first' attitude. Breakfasts excellent. Will stay there again. Can't think of any
Sunny garden space; good shower; delicious food and local produce; pleasant staff; Room opening onto passage; people breakfasting outside bedroom; no fresh air into room; noise from neighbouring bedroom
Mosaic and Martin do a great job. The breakfast is awesome and made using local products. Very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Convenient location in a quiet residential area and nice rooms. Great stay, would like to come back ! Nothing really, maybe the bed was a bit short for me being 6.4 long. But minor remark really.
Nice Clean hotel, Good location, Nice breakfast
Excellent food, room and the owners most welcoming and attentative.
Everything was perfect.
Everything, could have a stayed a week! Nothing...it was great!
Absolutely very nice clean and pleasant hotel. Owners are really awesome. Definitely will be coming back
Comfortable hotel in the right place The corridor and my room were very warm, perhaps lacking suitable ventilation
Excelent breakfast, the aditional door between the bedroom and bathroom creating a lobby gave a more private atmosphere to the room. Certainly a step up from the usual bland chain hotels. Blankets not quilts.
The hotel has a very welcoming atmosphere. The room was clean and quite luxurious, the lounge and bar so comfortable to relax in, a fab breakfast is served in the morning, and the hotel sports a spectacular garden should you wish to sit outside. It is situated in easy acess of Ipswich town centre and on a main bus route.
It was convenient for our trip into the centre of Ipswich
The hotel was convenient for Ipswich and the business that we completed. Breakfast
Very comfortable room and bed. Warm welcome and excellent breakfast.
The owners have decorated the public areas with the most fantastic collection of Film Posters. Nothing
Value for money, parking, good location for centre of town Needs some refurbishment
Eat a great breakfast! P/c with I-net available. Nice garden. Quirky charm.
The staff was extremely nice to us, we had free internet access, we loved it it was so pitoresque and old stylish that it gave us a really warm feeling. We loved everything
The management are obviously trying to make a good impression. The accommodation was good, the tablecloths were real (clean) linen and the breakfast was excellent. The outside area was very relaxing. An information pack in the room would have been useful.
Good clean decor and rooms warm and cosy and bed very comfortable Would be nice to see people with food intolerances catered for
Staff very polite and helpfull Cleaniness of the bathroom and tiles around bath/shower very poor
see above
Convenient location. Helpful staff. The room was too warm
Conveniently situated; good room; friendly reception Unfortunately we had to complain about dinner; the main restaurant was in use for a Christmas party so we and a few other residents were directed to eat in a meeting room; we were advised to come early (before 7) or service could be slow. Even arriving at 6.55 service was ridiculously slow and the food disappointingly poor.
the hotel was near to the suffolk show groundand felt comfortable and relaxed & the stella on tap
Comfort and Location Curtains were bust, TV didn't work vey well
We chose it for closeness to our family in Ipswich. The bed is very comfortable and the room has everything we needed for an overnight stop. Curtains were dirty. Carpets were well used. Breakfast disappointing. Scrambled egg disgusting you could have mended the road with it. Who has potato wedges with breakfast? They were horrible too.
This hotel suited us as a stopping point en route to suffolk and its beautiful beaches. it was clean comfortable and excellent breakfast
1) Shower didn't work. 2) I was put in a smoking room, unpleasant odour.
rooms too hot asked for fan facilities ie dining room not open name of hotel has changed since may now holiday inn
Staff very polite and helpful. Best premier inn we have stayed at. Breakfast was also excellent. Email confirmation said breakfast was included but we were charged again for breakfast on arrival.
Good Staff Bed hard and too high
the staff at the pub adjoining were especially friendly, lovely breakfast and well managed by a very outgoing efficient boss. The noise of the traffic even with the windows shut tightly.I am amazed that they did not build the hotel where the pub is and vice versa.Having a busy road as close to the bedrooms is bound to cause sleepless nights. Sat in the pub it was hard to hear the traffic.
Excellent value for money and staff were very obliging. The hotel itself was fine, had no complaints at all. The location was not the best due to the noise of the traffic outside. Therefore I would not personally stay again due to that reason alone.
friendly staff, clean rooms, good price, next door to an ok restuarant chain and location was suitable to our needs
Near to where my relatives live so it was within walking distance to get back in the evening. NO
Room much fresher than last stay and another Premier Inn, well ventalated.
The rooms were comfortable & the decor up to date The rooms were much more expensive than advertised by Premier Inn. Is it really possible to get a room for £29? or £45 as the advert outside the hotel said - I paid £72 each for 4 rooms !!!!!
The owner and staff were very helpfull and friendly; the owner even drove me 6 miles from Ipswich to my meeting.The room was huge and warm, T.V. 40'' SKY. Breakfast excellent, even with proper sausages, not plastic. Due to current building work, the breakfast room was a bit cold, however once finished this will not be a problem.
The rooom was clean Newly refurbished room but the TV didn't work. No hot water. No staff available to provide breakffast in the morning. The evening meal was very basic with little choice.
Hotel was close to town centre. Rooms were clean. Shower worked fine, plenty of hot water. Quiet. Comfortable beds. Good breakfast (not included in price). Party of six - we were the only people staying on our part of the hotel. Nobody available to check us in. We had to call a telephone number which was showing on the door. It was cold and wet and my elderly mother-in-law was not impressed with that! When somebody arrived 10 minutes later to check us in he was not aware that we had booked (two months in advance!).
No good points Upon arrival the booking for a twin room had been over booked our two gentlemen were put up in two bedist type single rooms in a annexe 1 room by railway line and the other over looking main road where lights shone in all night . They were then moved to the main hotel where the twin room comprised of a double bed and a sofa bed. The sofa bed was of poor condition that sloped to the feet end, Upon complaint the guest returned after work to find that a table had been wedged under the feet end of the bed causing the bed to sag in the middle and be very uncomfortable. the room was close again to the main road and very noisy.
Staff friendly Breakfast not served until 09.00 so we were not able to partake! Ok for tourists but not much good for business guests!
It was convenient for walking in to Ipswich shops and was in a quiet area Breakfast was OK. Beds clean and comfortable. The bathroom was grubby with the last clients toiletries left on the shower. Owners lived elsewhere so no staff in the hotel until 6pm and all night so we were worried about an emergency. Only had starter and main course but it took 2 hours to serve.
Quiet Needed to call a telephone no. to contact reception
The relaxed atmosphere A very nice hotel.
The owners are really friendly and make you welcome without being in your face. Everything is laid back. The hotel room was comfortable and really quiet. You could park your car in a private car park knowing it was safe. The city was about 15 mins walk (dependent upon whereabouts you wanted to get to) and the train station is just around the corner. We didn't eat in the hotel but the food looked homely. There is a lovely fish and chip shop just up the road which came in handy when we returned from our concert at about 10:30 at night. Overall a really pleasant stay. Nothing
The friendly staff and the welcome that we received. The fact that we were able to book in earlier than advertised which was greatly appreciated.
Very friendly staff, nice relaxed environment and excelent position for travelling out. Breakfast on 2nd day was a little off putting as you could hear the kitchen staff and the language was a little colourful at times.
Very comfortable, friendly helpful staff Rather noisy at times, doors and squeaky floors
The staff were friendly & efficient. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The dinner was of very good quality but the lack of choice for wines was a little surprising . Breakfast was expensive
The staff were very helpful, and although there was a wedding reception taking place at the time of our stay, it finished on time and with the minimum of disruption.
Staff were all really helpful and friendly even though the hotel was busy during the week. We stayed in a room with disabled facilities which was very well equipped and designed for ease of use. Room was cleaned and serviced efficiently and unobtrusively every morning. Breakfast times during the week could have been extended, but I appreciate this is primarily a hotel used by business people so therefore possibly not practical.
Nice quiet room, staying out of the way of the crowds Decor a little old fashioned but still very clean
ease of location, attentive staff, good food lack of breakfast room service; no lift;
Very comfortable & poolite, well trained staff. Tuerned on the shower, no water came from the shower head but poured out of the shower box - highly dangerous & turned off immediately. Room staff can't have checked the shower after last use of the room. Appreciate a wedding function had taken place that day but did not appreciate running the length of the corridor above my room on several occassions between 1.30am & 2.15am.
5th time my friends and I have stayed at this Hotel would always reccomend
Convenient location, plenty of parking space Very small cramped room with restricted space. The decor seemed rather "tired" with stains on wallpaper and carpet and worn lino in the bathroom... Noisy room, nowhere to sit, trouser press not working.
Very nice staff who were very helpful lovely rooms, nice quite area perfect.
the staff very helpfull and friendly would use hotel again
Convenient, easy parking, helpful staff, large comfortable room with all facilites needed and very good breakfast
TV not tuned properly. No shampoo. Breakfast was poor.
Room spacious, good professional service. Walls a little thin so quite noisy.
The welcome Romms close to reception were very noisy
I enjoyed the atmoshpere as well as there attention to detail. Very friendly staff who is always prepared to assist. Imaculate house on a cozy street that literally, takes you back in time. Also, the food there was fantastic! Very cozy, warm and comfortable. Flat Screens with satellite tv was nice :) NOPE!!
Breakfast. Bottled water in the room each day. Small, cramped room. Very drafty. Wind came down the hall and through cracks around the room door frame. Room service minimal.
The breakfast full cooked was excellent Suggest butter should be on tables.Waiter did not bother to fetch it for us when asked.would be good if you could have musuc or a radio on at breakfast. You could not chat without all other guests listening in;
Friendly staff and good food in a quiet location with good car parking and not too far from Ipswich centre and easy main road access
In all A bit "tired" & noisey location.
Central location Shower facility was not very good
Location and value for money My only complaint was cold baked beans on the cooked breakfast!
Staff was caring and helpful. Breakfast was great. It wasn't the Ritz, but the price was good.
Very friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast. Good internet speed and a modest rate Room freezing on the first evening and the staff switched the radiator off so the room was cold again on the second evening. After that there was no problem. The decor is dated and the facility is in need of a major refurbishment.
The location of the hotel is quite nice. It's only 3 to 4 mins walk to the town center. There's a Tesco close to the hotel, easy to grab something when you are lazy, esp when it's late and no stores open. Well, I have to say almost everything there is wonderful. There is only one thing I don't really like. It's the shower. Ummm, there's not enough water for you to shower. Also, one min the water is hot, the next min it could be so cold. But apart from that, it's really a nice hotel. Both the staff and breakfast are very very nice!
The location was good for the local university and parking was available on site free of charge. Excellent pub around the corner for dinner. Made very welcome by the chap on reception but everything went down hill from there. Given a room that clearly hadnt been used in quite a while as when I drew the curtains there was dust caked into the folds. Freezing cold and the heater provided didnt work, one extra blanket provided but smelt of mildew. Breakfast was okay but the cutlery and milk jugs etc needed a good wash. Overall left feeling like I needed a good bath as I wasnt prepared to use the facilities provided due to the mold and growth on the shower curtain.
Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great breakfast. Room was a bit smelly & didn't use shower as looked a bit dirty.
near town centre felt it needed a lot of updating
Staff were very friendly and helpful. location is excellent neartown centre but in a fairly quiet road.Breakfast was excellent and we will stay there again when visiting friends.

The goal of this TA is to provide a roadmap for Beijing to develop into a world class hub in green finance. Specifically, this roadmap should lead Beijing to become: (i) a carbon asset management center, (ii) a major carbon finance transaction center, (iii) an important stakeholder in international green finance, and (iv) a strong influence over the development of the global low carbon revolution. Currently, the largest and most developed market for emissions is in carbon dioxide. Therefore, while the discussions will initially be centered on carbon markets and transaction; it is anticipated that the methodology will develop to encompass other types of emissions.
