It is time. I have held off for a long time reviewing this anime but after I read some internet commentary that rubbed me the wrong way, I must now review this mess of an anime known as Elfen Lied.
On a private, government/military(?) owned Island, a naked woman with telekinesis escapes resulting in the untimely demise of quite a few guards and a hapless secretary until this woman is shot in the head causing her to fall in to the ocean. However, because she is wearing some super titanium-like alloy helmet, she lives but with no memory of who she is, or what she is and with no basic human speech other than spouting "Nyuu", she is discovered by 2 cousins and taken home and promptly named Nyuu.
That's about where all interesting aspects of the show end, and some thing called, but not quite is a coherent plot begin. The rest of Elfen Lied involves the residents of Yuka's family Inn dealing with her childishness, Lucy/Nyuu's awakening, and the scientific groups attempts to capture her.
Be very forewarned, this is a graphic anime. The violence is unrelenting and brutal. If you have a weak stomache do not watch this at all. This anime also contains nudity, and a scene of bodily function gone wrong (which I will discuss a bit in the overall section)
Story 1/10
While there is a "story" here involving the organization who kept Nyuu/Lucy (as we find out her name is later) attempting to either bring her back or completely destroy her, while the main male character who supresses his past starts to remember, you are treated to 12 episodes of exposition, and sheer mind numbing brutality without any inclination as to why any of this is going on. While a scientist has a name for these Telekinetics "Diclonious", and assume that they are supposedly the next evolution of human..no rhyme or reason for their existence is explained or explored, leaving the viewer to draw their own conclusions when they are not distracted by the mayhem on the screen. Now, to be frank, had the story kept to "Lucy escapes, she is being chased, meets people, inevitable showdown with the military/science group after her" this could have been a better anime, however, the show flips from these violent encounters to a slice of life/harem/ecchi/comedy then back and it just does not work.
Animation 2/10
Like the subject matter it covers, the animation in Elfen Lied is ugly. For an animation done in 2004, it looks like interns drew and filmed it in 1998. Too little color, and very dark palettes take up the screen, characters are poorly rendered. It's just sloppy work, and it further ruins what is already a dismal watching experience. One nice touch though, the opening credits are a wonderful translation of Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss"
Sound 2/10
Although the original Japanese dub is passable, do not watch this anime with the English dub. It is absolutely god awful. Character voices are grating to the ears, and do nothing to make the experience any better. The only saving grace to the soundtrack is the OP Lilium, a very haunting tune sung in latin. This however is contrasted by a poorly out of place ending called "Be your girl" that just has no business in this anime.
Characters 2/10
Other than 2 characters in Elfen Lied, there is not one single endearing quality of any one you see on screen. The main male character Kouta is a wishy washy push over, letting anyone into his home, while having issues supressing his past, he comes across as a "Oh woe is me and my poor memory" whiner. His female cousin Yuka is an internally jealous doormat in love with Kouta, and does nothing to make me root for her. Nyuu/Lucy is a split between a blabbering idiot and a violent sociopath, the various baddies serve no purpose but to appear evil, and exist just to die at the right moment in various ugly ways.
The two characters that I liked though, are a stark contrast to the rest of the cast. You have Nana, the inept Diclonius sent to bring Lucy back but fails miserably, is driven by her love for her "father" Kurama, and then there is 13 year old Myu, homeless due to sexual abuse suffered at the hands of her stepfather. Sadly 2 side characters do not save the rest of the cast.
Overall 2/10
Elfen Lied's has 2 camps and no happy middle ground: Raving fans who think it's the greatest anime ever created, and people who hate it. That's it. I desperately tried to enjoy it, hell I even watched it a second time to see if I could find anything worthwhile here, and failed.
For some reason, when I see this written on the internet "OMG, saddest anime ever" along side "This anime is AWESOME", I have to truly scratch my head. People looking for some deep meaning will just not find any. Say what you want, and I am indeed prepared for the eventual commentary to follow, this is no social commentary. Social Commentary is the act of using rhetorical means to provide commentary on issues in a society. This is often done with the idea of implementing or promoting change by informing the general populace about a given problem and appealing to people's sense of justice.. This does not exist here. Elfen Lied is a 12 episode long torture-porn experiment full of barbarism and misplaced nudity. It exists just to titillate and in that arena, it does it's job well. I was offended by the arrogance of the creators attempts to dip this anime in the batter of "having a message" but fried in the oil of ludicrousness.
To be honest, one scene in particular bothered me to no end, not because I was offended by it but because it showcases the glaring hatred the director has for his viewers. Some moments after bringing Nyuu/Lucy into the Inn, and trying to figure out what her deal is, Nyuu soils herself. This scene goes on for an eternity. You see it coming, the characters do not..and they play Nyuu's obvious discomfort for laughs UNTIL she urinates on the floor. After a wtf moment, the director transitions this into a fan servicey bath scene. Nyuu's humiliation is turned into an excuse for "Hey she just pissed herself! What do? Let's get naked!!!". At this moment I realized that Mamoru Kanbe thinks you are an idiot. Because as I mentioned in a comment for another review of this anime that Rivers of Gore and naked chicky nipples are what drives Elfen Lied and I believe in my heart of hearts that these scenes exist only to preoccupy you from the perplexing lack of good storytelling. Sadly he succeeds given the almost violent defences the average fan of Elfen Lied throw out when someone mentions they dislike it.
Bottom line, the only appeal this anime has is to what I like to call The Lowest Common Denominator and pre-pubescent boys who think boobs and buckets of blood are cool. It caters to the immature and tries to be too many different genres at once, and one day when the core fans of this grow up, they will see it for what it is: A bad anime with no redeeming value whatsoever.
Boy do I have some distressing news for you! Hint: All reviews are biased based on the reviewers opinion of the anime. Elfen Lied is a giant ball of shite and at least I can lay it out objectively with bonafide reasoning for my dislike as opposed to OMGDISANIMESUXLOLOLOL. This review is the epitome of objective from the viewpoint of someone who does indeed hate this anime. But I do appreciate you proving my point about Elfen Lied fans.
This is quite a biased review, you clearly hated this anime which is fair enough but you were always going to review this negatively and with no objectivity.
Great review i agree all the way except for i enjoyed the ending theme even tho yes it had no sense for this type of anime two tumbs up for this review :)

Mid-Year Update on the Oilers
January 15 2016 08:00AM
I don't know that many teams going into the 2015-2015 had as mixed expectations as the Oilers, simultaneously predicted to do great things with Connor McDavid and be terrible because, well, they have been for such a very long time.
So how have things gone for this enigmatic organization thus far? Well, not surprisingly, both bad and good, albeit relatively speaking.
Again, we are revisiting the three Pacific Division teams we first examined at the beginning of the season: the Canucks, Oilers and Flames.
Previously we looked in on the Canucks' season to see how things were progressing.
Today we look at the Oilers.
Mid-Year Update on the Canucks
January 13 2016 08:00AM
We're past Christmas and New Year's and officially into the second half of the season where we can begin to separate those teams that are playoff bound from the rest of the league. There will likely remain a collection of teams in the middle of the standings jostling for position and making roster adjustments to try and secure a post-season berth.
We've also now accrued enough data to get a small picture on the performances of the three Pacific Division teams that we examined back in October: the Canucks, Oilers and Flames.
So what can we learn from looking at the teams' performances to-date and how might it inform our expectations of them for the last half of this season?
Death Bows His Head and Weeps

*The title for this article is taken from Rainer Maria Rilke's poem "Death"
*The above video is an excellent source of information on the daily lives of soldiers on the Western Front during the First World War. If you cannot read this article, I implore you to watch this video.
Today is Remembrance Day, and in the past I have written of sports figures who had forgone prestigious or rewarding sports careers to serve in the military during times of war, the impact of past post-war treaty negotiations upon the modern world, and unlikely truces.
Today I'll be writing on the personal experience of war, from ancient times to the present. Soldiers, both fallen and the wounded, as well as civilians caught up in conflagrations have all left behind fragments of the lives destroyed by war.

This article isn't about PDO, regression, Corsi, Fenwick,

categories that are bandied about so often.
This article is about hockey.
Specifically, this article is about a book about hockey written by a guy who loves to use statistics. So yeah, maybe there's some stats in the article, but what I'm doing today is telling you about Rob Vollman's Hockey Abstract Update 2015-2016, and why it is as much a hockey book as it is a primer for advanced analytics.

Cardiff Blues have named Sam Warburton, Leigh Halfpenny and Jamie Roberts in their side that will take on Zebre on Saturday.
Cardiff Blues have included stars Sam Warburton, Leigh Halfpenny and Jamie Roberts in their line-up that will face Zebre in the PRO12 on Saturday.
Ceri Sweeney and Jamie Roberts will both play their last match at the Arms Park, with director of rugby Phil Davies paying tribute to the duo.
"Their support is hugely appreciated by us all and hopefully this weekend will be a good send off for Ceri, Tom and Jamie," he said.
"They have been great servants to the region and hopefully there will be a big crowd there to send these boys off and to finish our home campaign in a positive light."
Cardiff Blues will be looking to get back to winning ways having slipped to four successive RaboDirect PRO12 defeats and have not lost five in a row in the competition in the same season since 2004/05.
Zebre are still looking for that elusive first win in the RaboDirect PRO12, but are getting ever closer having claimed three losing bonus points in their last four games.
Cardiff Blues won 14-7 when the two sides met in Italy earlier in the season.
"When we played Zebre earlier in the season, the boys played very well and there were some great passages of play but a bit of frustration at times," added Davies.
"We didn't really capitalise and nail down the dominance we had in that game and we felt the scoreline didn't really reflect the possession we had.
"This weekend we have to win the game and win it well. We have to be direct early on, keep battling away at their defensive line and look to try and blow them away.
"It is not going to be easy as Zebre are a very physical team, a very resilient team and they keep coming and coming. If we don't perform to the level we can do, it could be tough for us.
"However, if we perform to the level we know we are capable of and build on that Ospreys performance, I am confident we will get a satisfying win."
Meanwhile, Zebre have Australian fly-half Halangahu back in action after missing four games due to a muscular injury. Three Italian internationals are ruled out however as Mauro Bergamasco, Paolo Buso and Quintin Geldenhuys sit this one out.
Form: Cardiff Blues have slipped to four successive RaboDirect PRO12 reversals and have not lost five in a row in the competition in the same season since 2004/05. The Blues suffered their first ever loss to an Italian opponent when they visited Treviso in round 18. Zebre are still looking for that elusive first win in the RaboDirect PRO12, but are getting ever closer having claimed three losing bonus points in their last four games. Cardiff Blues won 14-7 when the two sides met in Italy in round 9.
The teams:
Cardiff Blues: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 Owen Williams, 13 Gavin Evans (c), 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Rhys Patchell, 9 Lewis Jones, 8 Robin Copeland, 7 Sam Warburton, 6 Michael Paterson, 5 Filo Paulo, 4 Lou Reed, 3 Scott Andrews, 2 Marc Breeze, 1 Taufa'ao Filise.
Replacements: 16 Kristian Dacey, 17 Thomas Davies, 18 Benoit Bourrust, 19 James Down, 20 Luke Hamilton, 21 Alex Walker, 22 Ceri Sweeney, 23 Gareth Davies.
Zebre: 15 Ruggero Trevisan, 14 Leonardo Sarto, 13 Giovanbattista Venditti, 12 Gonzalo Garcia, 11 Sinoti Sinoti, 10 Daniel Halangahu, 9 Alberto Chillon, 8 Andries van Schalkwyk, 7 Filippo Ferrarini, 6 Josh Sole, 5 Marco Bortolami (capt), 4 Michael van Vuren, 3 Luciano Leibson, 2 Davide Giazzon, 1 Matias Aguero.
Replacements: 16 Carlo Festuccia, 17 Andrea de Marchi, 18 Salvatore Perugini, 19 Nicola Belardo, 20 Filippo Cristiano, 21 Tito Tebaldi, 22 Alberto Chiesi, 23 Matteo Pratichetti.

Why Your Eye (I) is the Only Beauty Beholder That Matters
"Funny is sexy, and Jennifer Aniston is funny!," writes editors for "Men's Health" magazine who just donned Ms. Aniston THE sexiest woman of all time. By this logic, my partner's 87-year-old grandmother is a giggly, witty sexy beast in those beige orthopedics and wispy silver hair. Likewise, the same goes for the middle-aged postal worker who is a wheelchair user and always cracks me up when I have to mail something over sized and any random video of cats in party hats doing adorable things like using an iPad. Yes, funny IS sexy, but let's not delude ourselves into believing that that's the reason Ms. Aniston came in at number one with a bullet. She made the grade because she conforms to a narrow cultural perception of what passes for "beauty" and "sexiness." "Men's Health" also voted in Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, Pamela Anderson, and Britney Spears.
The superlative list of head-turning beauties has nothing to do with the women themselves, rather the issue is that these polls or rankings exist at all. I remember the dopey yearbook "best," "most," "-iest" designations that pigeonholed us into some type of Franken-identity at the mighty, wise age of 17. I remember the feeling, then, of being voted "Brainest" when I wanted to be voted "Prettiest." (Note the italics as I could not be more prouder to fly my Nerd flag high today.). Because it isn't the title that you're given, it is the longing you feel from wanting the title you have not got. These ridiculous magazine lists keep women in that perpetual state of wanting, and worse, pit women against each other in a never ending, Miss Beauty-Trend-of-The-Moment-USA type contest. Who wants to be you when you could be Jennifer Aniston?
And it is not just a problem for young women who are finding their way, navigating through a media and culture minefield that celebrates women who can lose 35 pounds of baby weight two weeks after giving birth, that overlooks Kardashian vacuousness in favor of their coveted assets (ahem). The rhetoric and practice of beauty is an issue for women who have given over so much of themselves to caring and nurturing others, to advocating on behalf of ill or physically challenged individuals that standards, ideas, or ideals of beauty not only seem out of reach, but also feel exclusionary. Who tells the exhausted caregiver she's beautiful? How does the woman operating on little sleep and even less energy in order to see to her son's needs feel about her beauty? Where is the Top 100 Sexiest Over-worked, Under-appreciated Moms of All Time list?
Women need to take back their beauty. To claim it, define it, and express it proudly on their own terms, not from what comes in a bottle, off a wrack, in a test tube, or what is ranked on a list. Maybe we can't change the industry. Maybe we can't change the producers who back movies and television shows that cast twiggy, doe-eyed, rosy skinned women in a state of perpetually suspended animation, impervious to the work of time and age, as the ideals to aspire towards. But we can change the conversation. We can change the way we view, celebrate, and declare our own sense of beauty. We can change the words we say to ourselves, and in doing so, change the way we want others to see us and treat us. We can change that longing to be someone beautiful like Jennifer Aniston and instead LOVE being someone beautiful like ourselves.

First Utility is the largest independent energy supplier in the United Kingdom
First Utility is the seventh-largest utilities supplier in the UK. With one million customers, they are the first-biggest provider after the big six. They supply both gas and electricity.
The energy supplier has built its brand around being the answer for those fed up with the big six, saying that the energy market is 'old-fashioned, slow and monopolised'.
First Utility ranked #2 in overall customer satisfaction two years in a row in uSwitch's annual Customer Satisfaction Report.
Protect your home against rising energy bills
Switch to a fixed rate deal today to secure your energy costs
1 million customer accounts
In September 2014, the supplier reached a milestone of 1 million customers. At the news, uSwitch Director of Consumer Policy stated:
"This This is a significant milestone for First Utility and evidence that small suppliers are at last beginning to drive competition and make the energy market work for consumers.
"The growing popularity of companies like First Utility shows that small suppliers are here to stay, thanks to the excellent deals they are offering. If the big six energy providers are to keep hold of their customers, they'll have to look at introducing more competitive prices and improving their customer service."
Customer satisfaction
First Utility was the runner up in uSwitch's 2017 customer satisfaction awards.
Not only was the largest independent supplier second among eight suppliers, they also ranked second in all nine categories including billing services, meter services, likely to recommend and value for money.
The customer service rating is based on an independent YouGov survey that was conducted between 27th October and 1st November 2016. A total of 5,028 UK energy consumers were asked their opinions on a wide range of issues relating to satisfaction with their energy suppliers. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all UK adults (18+).
Learn more about First Utility in our Meet the Small Suppliers interview.
Why we like First Utility
First Utility offers UK consumers 'permanently low prices', and its iSave Everyday tariff comes with a price promise that it will always be less expensive than any of the big six's cheapest standard plans.
The independent supplier also aims to make its innovative technology a benefit to its customers, offering smart meters, mobile apps and home automation.
First Utility are also an accredited Living Wage Employer.
Price History
In October 2013, First Utility pledged to help UK customers save on their bills by not raising energy prices for the 2013-2014 winter season. The supplier challenged the big six to follow its lead and promise to freeze prices for the winter season for their own customers.
At the time of the price pledge announcement, First Utility CEO Ian McCaig stated: "First Utility is genuinely focused on reducing energy costs for consumers and our promise to hold down prices until after the winter lessens the worry about heating their homes during the coldest months of the year.
"Our promise will protect families from feeling the brunt of energy cost increases during the coldest months. As the largest UK independent, we believe we have a responsibility to loosen the hold the Big Six has on the UK energy market for the benefit of the hard pressed consumers and our winter price hold supports this ambition."
Protect your home against rising energy bills
Switch to a fixed rate deal today to secure your energy costs
In April 2013, First Utility announced a price rise for current customers, who were set to be automatically switched from the company's cheapest tariff on to a substantially more expensive tariff. This move pushed up the average annual dual fuel bill for these consumers by 18%, or £200 per year.
At the time, First Utility Founder Darren Braham noted that the increases had been held off as long as possible, and highlighted that — unlike many of the big six, who raised prices in autumn and winter — they waited until after the colder winter months to announce the rise.
In May 2012, First Utility released the cheapest fixed-price deal on the market, under-cutting the winning Big Switch tariff offered by The Co-operative Energy.
The move meant First Utility had the cheapest fixed price tariff as well as the cheapest variable tariff (the iSave V9) on the market at the time.
First Utility released the iSave plan in September 2009, which undercut the average household energy bill at the time by 14.5%.

These add to any page, are versatile you can paint, cover with pp, ink or use plain, I never like to be without them in my stash.
I bought this punch just two months ago and use it nearly constantly, it is very easy to use providing you line it up at the start correctly. It is great for decorating cards and layouts plus altered booklets.

Toner has a mild scent, the skin is not burning after using it. I wish it did not have a spray function; I do not like spraying my face or pad.

For five years, Emily Wright stared up her house's "stomped stalactite ceilings" wishing they'd disappear:Then she came up with an inexpensive solution, DIY beadboard paneling, that she and her husband, Shane Pribbel, were able to install themselves right over the existing plasterwork.
Emily and Shane live in New Castle, Indiana, and she chronicles their home improvements in her blog Lifestyle and Design Online. "Most couples do normal things like go to dinner for quality time," says Emily. "Not us. We rip apart our kitchen and start over." Self-taught remodelers–"actually Shane did have a construction job one summer in high school," says Emily–the two have jointly tackled all of the work in their house themselves, including adding new windows and a new roof ("yes, I actually got up on the roof," she says) plus a gut renovation of the kitchen.
"We're both attention-to-details people. We watch a lot of How To videos on YouTube, then we jump right in." The ceiling solution, Emily reports, was by far the most satisfying of their design solutions.
Photographs from Lifestyle and Design Online.
Above: For a long time, the couple couldn't figure out an obvious tack to take with the ceilings: "We felt stuck with them because tearing them down or re-drywalling are both messy, painful tasks," writes Emily in her blog. "We didn't want to go through the trauma of all that work."
Above: Thinking about coffered ceilings put Emily on the right track: "Our ceilings are only eight feet tall, so I knew a traditional coffered ceiling wouldn't work, but I finally figured out that we could cover them with beadboard and trim to create a lightly coffered look." The black pendant lamp is the Hektar from Ikea, $29.99.
Above: The couple tackled one room at a time, including the ceiling in their newly overhauled kitchen. They used 4-foot-by-8-foot sheets of White/Satin Hardboard Panels from Lowe's that cost $19.98 each. They nailed the pre-made beadboard directly in place–it holds well thanks to the fact that the existing plaster ceilings are backed with lath board. "Once the panels are up, the ceiling just needs to be trimmed out," says Emily. For the trim they used 1-foot-by-4-foot MDF boards installed in a grid. "Some paint and several tubes of caulk later, and you have a coffered-looking ceiling."
Above: "Caulking and painting were by far the hardest part," reports Emily. The walls, trim, and ceilings are painted in Valspar Ultra White from Lowe's. The small dining area, shown here, has extra chairs cleverly hung on the wall, and a DIY Lindsey Adelman light–have a look at our post today, A New $60 DIY Lindsey Adelman Pendant, for a similiar (but easier) project.
Above: The couple's black and white bedroom was where they first tested the coffered ceiling idea. Writes Emily in her blog: "Our bedroom is an 11-by-15-foot rectangle, so the layout was pretty simple: we needed 6 sheets of 4 x 8 beadboard. Then we purchased enough MFD 1 x 4 boards do the trimming…we measured and used chalk lines to plan out the grid. Since we have a hanging light in the center of the room, we wanted a seam to run through the fixture. We liked the idea of the light being on the 'beams'." Read Emily's full report on the ceiling project at Lifestyle and Design Online.
Above: "I'm not sure what the technical term for our ceilings is, " says Emily. "We referred to them as awful…just plain awful."
Above: "On top of the texture, we had years of previous water damage and terrible repair jobs to portions of the ceiling." Shown here is a section of the dining room that Emily describes as "really not so terrible in comparison to other spots that I wish I had photographed."
Tacking your own place? We recently featured a Kitchen Remodel for Under $500 that also makes use of DIY beadboard. And for another inspired budget kitchen remodel, see Ikea Upgrade: The SemiHandmade Kitchen. On Gardenista, have a look at a Garage Turned Studio Apartment.

Our Beliefs on the Holy Spirit:

*The Nicene Creed
When one says "I believe" something he or she is saying, "I put my personal stamp of approval on this belief." Further, we as Catholic's have the gift of the Magisterium interpreting Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. It is important that we as Catholics have one standard belief statement or creed, so that we can pray together as one unified Church. The Catholic Church has handed down the faith from the very beginning. Thus, the Church Fathers wanted to summarize the faith found in the Old and New Testaments into a short and concise "profession of faith." "We call these professions of faith "creeds" because usually they begin with the words, "I believe" which in Latin is credo. Sometimes the creeds are also called 'symbols of faith'." "The symbol of faith, then, is a sign of recognition and communion between believers." (CCC187-188) The Nicene Creed is the fruit of the first two ecumenical Councils in 325 and 381 and all the great Churches of the East and West use it to this day. "As on the day of our Baptism, when our whole life was entrusted to the "standard of teaching," let us embrace the Creed of our life-giving faith. To say the Credo with faith is to enter into communion with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and also with the whole Church which transmits the faith to us and in whose midst we believe: This Creed is the spiritual seal, our hearts' meditation and ever-present guardian; it is, unquestionably, the treasure of our soul" (CCC197).

Location, location, location! You won't find better than this!
The apartment is in trendy Fitzrovia, in the heart of the West End, a super central location with a villagey feel and Georgian architecture. The area was once home to such writers as Virginia Woolf, George Bernard Shaw and Arthur Rimbaud. Today it is a popular and lively neighbourhood with a residential and business mix. The numerous media companies based in the area feed into a trendy and vibrant buzz.
You won't get bored in the immediate vicinity. We have heaps of bars, restaurants, supermarkets and great transport links a few minutes away in Tottenham Court Road / Charlotte Street. There's some beautiful Georgian architecture in the area such as Fitzroy Square, a pedestrianised garden square. The gardens are open during the summer. It's a step from the apartment.
There is a good range of shops nearby and a huge choice of delicious restaurants and bars. Tourist London is easily accessible on foot or by tube. Several supermarkets are close by (including a good Sainsburys, Tescos, Marks and Spencers Food Hall and Waitrose).
Warren Street, Goodge Street and Euston Square tubes stations are within a 5 minute walk. Tottenham Court Road and St Pancras are within 10 minutes.
Being so central though, you can walk to all of tourist London. The British Museum is 10 minutes away. You've got Oxford Street / Soho very close by (a 10 minute walk), Covent Garden will take you about 15 minutes, Regent's Park about 10-15 minutes. Camden is a 5 minute bus ride. You can head in any direction and arrive somewhere interesting.

We are Liz and Jack. We look forward to welcoming you to London. We manage five holiday let properties in Fitzrovia, central London, as well as many long let properties.
We know the area well and can thoroughly recommend it for its central location, great transport links (although you'll probably be mostly on foot as tourist London is very walkable!) and wide choice of bars and restaurants. It's a highly desirable neighbourhood with beautiful architecture and interesting streets. People come from all over London to enjoy some Fitzrovia life. We're lucky enough to be based here and hope to see you here too!
We have been letting our properties for the past 8 years. We hope we've perfected a warm and professional welcome. We're very happy to help with questions (before or during your stay) or to tailor any trip to suit your needs so just let us know if there's anything we can do.
We look forward to seeing you in London!
Liz purchased this apartment in 2001
We love this property because of the fantastic terrace! It's such a bonus and a rare find in Central London. Lay out on the lounger and watch the clouds go by on an uninterrupted sky - it's a pretty unique view in London! It's always a pleasure to enjoy this secluded spot. Only the BT Tower, your own landmark, reminds you that you're right in the thick of the West End!
Location wise, it couldn't be better. The local area is buzzing but the flat is in a quiet street so you get the best of both worlds.
There's a huge array of bars and restaurants in the area, including in nearby Charlotte Street and neighboring Soho. For entertainment, you have Theatreland close by, numerous cinemas, comedy clubs, late night bars, dancing and nightclubs.
If shopping appeals, you can shop til you drop in nearby Oxford Street, Regent Street, Covent Garden, Carnaby Street, Camden Market and Bond Street. They are all a walk away.
For outside life, neighboring Fitzroy Square is a peaceful and pleasant place to enjoy a sandwich and watch the world go by. Alternatively, it's a 10 minute walk to Regent's Park, a wonderful 410-acre open space offering stylish gardens with cafés, rose and wildlife gardens, a boating lake, sports facilities, an open-air theatre and zoo.
The location of this flat is wonderful: the area is very walkable, and there's lots to walk to: nice places to eat on Charlotte Street, good pubs nearby, the British Library and British Museum are well in range. Additionally, tube stations and buses are nearby and Kings Cross/St. Pancras isn't far either. The building/flat is on a commercial block (seems to be an area with design/marketing companies), which means that it's quiet at night (a plus in my book). The flat itself is comfortable with lots of light and accommodated 3 of us easily. It wasn't the season to use the terrace (were there in January), but I can see what a plus it would be in warmer weather—you can see the London Eye from it! The bedroom is comfortable, the closet space ample, the kitchen well outfitted, the bathroom modern, the washing machine/dryer handy, and the wifi strong and reliable. The hosts are gracious, helpful, and responsive (we blew a fuse and needed instruction on how to reset it); they clearly care about their guests and, in addition to providing a very helpful guide to the area, local amenities, transportation, and some tourist suggestions for London in general, they make themselves available as needed. Wonderful stay!
The property was definitely as described. The building was convenient to get to, and seemed well-maintained. The neighborhood was comfortable to walk through, and being close to the BT Tower meant we could see our "home" area from far reaches of London!
The flat was well-maintained, and clean and comfortable.
The location was perfect -- within walking distance of most things in central London, and within a few blocks of four Tube stations (Easton/Easton Square, Warren, Goodge St) and the Easton railway station, which meant that we could easily get to anything we wanted to see in or near London.
The flat itself was very nice (though not luxurious), with a comfortable bed, two sofas, a nice desk area where we kept our laptop set up (and wifi was a good speed, so we could simultaneously use laptop/phones/ipads). The kitchen was well equipped for any cooking, with lots of pots and pans, a good toaster, coffee maker, microwave, excellent stove, and good sized fridge/freezer. A small but handy dining table with chairs that neatly tucked out of the way when not in use. Having a washer/dryer was a big help. There were two TVs. The bathtub was a good size, and there was good water pressure and hot water for the shower. The lift to the seventh floor worked well.
There were several grocery stores within a few blocks, as well as a number of good restaurants and pubs. Also a nice street food area nearby on Tottenham Road.
Among other things, we visited the British Museum, St Paul's Cathedral, walked across the Millenium Bridge to the Globe Theatre and the Tate Modern. We walked along the Thames embankment (both sides) and attended a play in the West End. We walked through Regents' Park, and went to the Victoria and Albert Museum (we recommend it highly!) as well as the Natural History Museum. We also visited Churchill's War Rooms and Bletchley Park (where the Enigma code was broken in WWII) -- both well worth seeing. We also visited several excellent bookstores (Foyle's and Bookmarks) and had some lovely meals (just one example, St. Stephen's Tavern pub, opposite Big Ben, was crowded but served the best fish and chips we have had.)
Thank you, Liz, for your excellent instructions and good communications, from the time we booked until after we left. You always responded promptly to our questions.
We would definitely consider staying here again on another visit to London. We felt at home in "our" neighborhood.
Liz's flat worked out perfectly for our vacation trip to London. We loved everything about it! The flat is bright, friendly, very clean, with a decent size bathroom! The huge terrace was a very nice bonus and made the flat feel even more spacious. The location was excellent; centered in an energetic yet safe neighborhood, and surrounded by cafes, pubs, shops, and Starbucks. We walked almost everywhere, including to the main tourist attractions, but there was also very close access to the train system when needed. The BT Tower was a great guiding landmark when trying to navigate our way around the city and back to our home base. Liz went out of her way to make sure we felt right at home, and we would be thrilled to have the opportunity for a return visit to stay at her lovely flat again!
we had a great stay at Liz's apt in fitzrovia. All past reviewers have summed up the great aspects of the apt. Liz responds promptly to all emails. The added benefit of a huge terrace is a plus for those who enjoy the outside when having a drink or dining. Thanks Liz for a great stay!
My husband and I stayed in this wonderful penthouse apartment for 10 days in March/ April .It was all we had hoped for. Great location. Light, bright, good space, separate bedroom and great little laundry / kitchen to cook for our selves and our visiting family. The sofa bed was fine for a few nights for our daughter . It can accommodate 3 people as suggested.The owners gave great instructions, good communicators. We wouldn't hesitate to state here again.
I stayed at this beautiful flat for a week in April 2016 and could not be more pleased with my lodging, a clean and well-maintained top-floor flat in a building with a lift. The pictures do not do justice to its layout or furnishings – the unit is a very comfortable place to relax. THE TERRACE provided a unique opportunity to enjoy the city – I found myself drawn to the view, morning, afternoon, and evening. However, as nice as the apartment is, I was there to enjoy London - and that is another aspect in which this apartment excels. It is in a genuine neighborhood, surrounded by the kinds of shops you expect to find in an area where people actually live - rather than the wall-to-wall T-shirt and knick-knack shops, I found multiple grocery stores, a couple pharmacies, and several small restaurants. Within a couple blocks, there are Underground stations that could take you anywhere in the city. For those who want the tourist experience, the River Thames, Soho, Big Ben and the Eye, and Covent Garden are short walks away. I strongly recommend this flat for anybody who wants to feel at home while living in the center of one of the most beautiful cities on the planet.
Great central base offering easy accessibility to tourist London on foot or by tube

When I was a little girl, the first live SB performance I saw was the de Valois 1977 Royal Ballet production. Park & Wall were Aurora and Florimund. The Bluebirds were Alfreda Thorogood and Michael Coleman. They left a lasting impression on me. They were great! My other all time favorite Bluebirds are A. McKerrow & J. Renval, L. Semenyaka & Y. Vetrov, and Jennifer Penney & Wayne Eagling. In addition to the Florines already mentioned, my other favorites are Pavlenko, Yevteyeva, Lezhnina, F. Chadwick, Makarova (Sizova/Soloviev film of SB), and M. Bilova. I wish I could have seen Maximova & Vasiliev but they danced this ppd before I was even thought of .
Florine's are Elizabeth Loscavio and Joanna Berman (SFB)
Still thinking about my fave Bluebirds.
Carrie Lee Riggins & Adam Hendrickson of NYCB.
I saw the very youthful Ethan Steifel & Yvonne Borree when NYCB's production was new, and before that at ABT I saw Karena Brock & Ted Kivitt, who were superb.
Two of my fave bluebirds are Johan Renvall and Herman Cornejo. No Florine springs immediately to mind as quite so outstanding, but I've enjoyed Ashley Tuttle, Cheryl Yeager and Deirdre Carberry.
(Whatever became of Deirdre, btw? Anyone?)
(Whatever became of Deirdre, btw? Anyone?)
I have bought a few ballet books from Deirdre Carberry's mother, who is an ebay seller. She told me Deirdre has been living in England for a few years and is not dancing at the present time.
My vote for Bluebird is Kevin Pugh and for Florine, Natasha Makarova.

My favorite Bluebirds were Rudolf Nureyev and Graham Usher
Favorite Florines were Georgina Parkinson, but not while dancing with Nureyev, and Makarova, also not dancing with Nureyev.

A bluebird to remember (and hopefully to see again sometime soon!) is Olivia Goodrich/Lavery (not sure which she is going by. She performed this role at the SAB workshop a few years back and was spectacular.
Ilya Kozadeyev and Leticia Oliveira.
The last time ABT did Sleeping Beauty, Ethan Stiefel did Bluebird, and he was just wonderful. Inhuman and very magical, with wonderful sit-in-the-air cabrioles. It was one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

Can you tell me what ever happened to Graham Usher? I met him when I was a kid in the 1960's and just loved him.
Unfortunately, Graham Usher died in 1975.

Sibley, sibley Sibley
Lovebird you are so right....--she shimmers, her whole upper body is winged.
That video is mostly kinda awful, except for Sibley -- Fonteyn is uncharacteristically awkward as Aurora; the best things on it are Gerd Larson as he queen (she is fantastic), Park as one of hte precious-metal fairies, and this absolutely transcendant performance by Antoinette Sibley as Princess Florine. It's not just technique, of which she has plenty -- it's the beauty of her line, the softness of her breathing, the delicacy of her head positions, the remarkable flexibility of her torso -- she's rarely straight up and down -- though her legs are very true and her aplomb is fantastic, she does her double ronde de jambes in the coda with her torso at quite a tilt -- beautifully lifted out of the hips, but the tilt is almost Cunninghamesque -- very classical, truly beautiful, and at high speed. Her lines are unbelievable. And all of it is so dancey, musical in the extreme.
Jean Babilee is my favorite Bluebird---he literally flew in those brise voles. I loved Alonso's "Florine", she was like no other I ever saw dance the role--she was every inch the Classical ballerina, with no signs of the cutsiness that most dancers infuse the role.

I'm sorry to hear that. He was so kind to a little kid. Not to mention a wonderful bluebird.

I loved Larissa Lezhina - I saw her dancing Florine in Uruguay, maybe 10 years ago or more - truly delicate, and could not believe she was in right in front of my eyes in country, as she was one of my "video" idols.
I do not remember the name of the Blue Bird,though.
I also like Pankova, Terekhova and Semenyaka. For Blue Birds I would go for Yury Vetrov and Melnikov (sp?)
Posted November 17, 2005
Silvy, you saw Lezhnina live?! I am SOOOO jealous!!!
Silvy, I very much doubt that Yuri Vetrov ever danced Bluebird, did you mean Alexander Vetrov who I believe is his younger cousin?
Yes, Hans I saw Lezhina live - she did not dance much, though. I remember she did not dance the variation, only the pas de deux (I do not remember if they danced the coda). That was before our Solis Theater was refurbished, and I guess it was because the floor was not in the best conditions (there was a huge rake on the stage, which is now gone). This was part of a gala program, where Gedeminas Taranda also danced (he danced a tango with a ballerina named Pavlova - of course, a young Pavlova!!!!!!).
The Vetrov I mention is the one who dances opposite Bylova in the Bolshoi video (if I am not confusing names - this Bluebird has a very large travelling assemble, and very large travelling sisonnes, which are impressive).

This was part of a gala program, where Gedeminas Taranda also danced (he danced a tango with a ballerina named Pavlova - of course, a young Pavlova!!!!!!).
Now it's my turn to be green with envy
Yes, and I saw Taranda twice in my country. The first time he came with a group, where Nadezhda Pavlova herself danced 2nd act Giselle, and Maya Plitseskaya herself danced Dying Swan in her sixties. Then Taranda danced this tango with this other Pavlova (a young dancer). I also remember a "Carmen" by Alberto Alonso, where a whole group of female dancers in unison danced the solo variation. I could not believe I was seeing all these great artists live. I think the group was called "the Russian Imperial Ballet", or something of the like.
The second time (when I saw Lezhnina), I remember seeing the Pugni pas de quatre. Among the dancers was the one who dances the first soloist in Raymonda in Bolshoi video (dream sequence - I do not remember her name). I liked her very, very much.
Then Taranda danced this tango with this other Pavlova (a young dancer).
Almost certainly that would have been Olga Pavlova.
Yes!! It was Olga Pavlova - very impressive tango indeed

Is there a problem running multiple firewire devices with Max?
Totally doable. Which driver are you using? DV can only access one

Defining the mechanisms of action of drug candidates that can reactivate latent proviruses presents formidable challenges both because studies ofthe physiological mechanisms responsible for proviral reactivation are incomplete and because there are no universally accepted primary cell models for HIV and SIV latency that can be used to support the development of new drugs. This project has been designed to address these critical Collaboratory strategic needs by defining how the sequential activation of multiple signaling pathways modifies the duration and magnitude ofthe HIV transcriptional response in primary cell models for HIV latency and by defining the role of the accessory protein Nef in establishing and maintaining HIV and SIV latency. We hypothesize that sustained HIV proviral reactivation minimally requires both the activation of P-TEFb and the sequential activation of NF-Kappa B, NFAT and AP-1. As part of our further development ofthe primary cell model we have recently made the surprising and discovery that proviral silencing is strongly enhanced in cells infected with viruses expressing Nef. We hypothesize that disruption of cell signaling pathways by Nef creates an environment that promotes viral entry into latency. Since Nef has long been known to enhance viral replication and spread, the obsen/ation that Nef also increases the frequency of HIV silencing raises the intriguing possibility that proviral latency is an important mechanism used to disseminate viruses eariy during infections and to escape the strong immune responses mounted during acute infections. In the course of these studies we will be interacting closely with other Collaboratory investigators. Key interactions will include the detailed evaluation of candidate drugs in our pipeline (Hazuda), development of latency models in primary cells (Planelles), development of latency models for SIV (Clements), and evaluation of new cellijlar factors that contribute to the maintenance of HIV latency (Greene, Verdin, Ofi and Peteriin).
This proposal forms an integral part ofthe basic science program ofthe Collaboratory. Specifically, the proposal will develop new techniques for evaluating drug candidates and explore an unexpected mechanism involving HIV Nef that forces HIV entry into latency.

This year's British Grand Prix was supposed to be Silverstone's swan song and the theatrics of the yearlong telenovela that was the 2009 Formula One season were certainly in synch with the drama: it was the weekend when Formula One appeared to suddenly die. It was also the weekend that marked the end of Jenson Button's domination, as his young rival Sebastian Vettel powered away to a win. Advertisement Advertisement Donington Park was set to host the British Grand Prix from 2010 on, but its promoters have failed to secure the funds to do so and were stripped of the rights to host the race.Silverstone, a former airstrip which first held a Grand Prix in 1948 and was the site of the first Formula One race in 1950, is now back for at least five years, as Damon Hill—president of the British Racing Drivers' Club, Silverstone's owner—and Bernie Ecclestone have come to an agreement. Meanwhile, secure in his burrow, Silverstone Bunny is celebrating this wonderful turn of events with a mighty bottle of carrot champagne.

70 Double Blown GTO
My 1970 GTO with two blowers. It's 474ci Pontiac engine with a 8-71 blower on top of a 6-71 blower. This is from the last day of being double blown. I'm going to one single 8-71 blower and going racing. The front clip was removed to make it easier to work on. The reason for the double blowers was not as a power enhancement like many ASSume. I stacked the blowers to have a car that stood out in the crowd. Most Pro Street cars were starting to blend together. If you seen one, you had seen them all. That wasn't the case with this GTO. Al someone had to say was "The double blower GTO" and people knew which car. I was told it couldn't be done, so I attempted it and it worked. It stayed that way for almost 2 years. I knew a twin turbo setup would make more HP. I knew I could have run a 14-71 blower and made more power. That wasn't the point. I wanted to be different than the other cars in the parking lot, I did that now it's time to ove on. For all those people who don't understand why, I'm not going to try and explain it to you anymore. Get over it. I didn't expect EVERYONE to love it. But you won't forget it.
