Never snort coke with a choleric. I learned that lesson during my misspent youth, which is to say my early 30s. But I came by the jargon to express it properly just yesterday, thanks to the Reverend Conrad Hook, author of The Four Temperaments, and to Diane Korzieniewski, who was nice enough to link to [Read More…]

Close to Railway Station in Napoli The Bathroom smelt bad.
Every single facility was clean and fine. No problem with using hotel. Nothing special, but wifi is too pricey.
The front desk was great, big thanks to Jiovani who assisted often with getting around and travelling advise. The bus and train stations are very close. The heating is not great especially in the bathroom. The shower is very small. The hand/small towels are terrible. The location is not great, lots of street people and a feeling of unsafety.
the size of room..and the "trendy' decor There was one front desk staff, that was "trying to be funny" but was rather rude. He assume many things, not very proffessional. Thankfully I have a good sense of humour, otherwise I would have been more put off than I was.
silent, clean poor breakfast, dark room
hotel is fab really stylish, rooms are very spacious and plenty of nice extras and would recommend the corner room, great breakfast lots of variety and even had champers on offer!!!!!and lovely roof terrace. funny smell in bathroom and dinner was a bit disappointing.
the design the prices for drinks at the bar up theterrece are far too high!!!
While the location was poor, the proximity to the train station was great The location and the trash in the streets. Not really the hotel's fault however.
The room was very nice and the hotel was close to the station. The information we were given by the staff about an excursion to Pompay
Open garden at roof level We could not get served a dinner one night, told it would be 10minutes, 45 minutes later no menu given or water or an up date, waiters very scarcastic as we left, laughed at us and said Bye bye. Noise from street terrible, horns beeping all nite, extremely dirty outside hotel, staff on reception unhelpful, perhaps very little english, didn't understand us. Very poor selection of english speaking TV programmes. Internet access, no printer, very slow.
I like very much the hotel , all was perfect :)
Excellent service all round . Excellent Room. Spotlessly clean. Excellent location. Though the restaurant not busy at night the food was absolutely delicious. Very nice staff. safe area of Naples. Walking distance to the main shopping area and Piazza Plebiscite. Not far from bay. Rooms lovely. One fothe best hotels I 've ever stayed in.
Excellent location...Walking distance to the seaside, right in the middle of the shopping district. Plenty of restaurants near by.
good neighborhood, close to good shoping district, nice rooms, but a little bit smal not so rich breakfast choise, no bar or caffe in the hotel
The localization of the hotel is great, in the Chiaia region, the best neighboorhod in town. The hotel is very near to the best shops in Naples, such as Gucci, Armani and Louis Vuitton and another great shops, so you can reach the best of the city in a short walk. The hotel is also near to some good bars and restaurants (like the great pizzeria Matozzi) and to some streets that are closed to cars and are great to walk around, so within a walking distance, you have the best of Naples. It is also just three blocks form the subway station that leads to the central station. The hotel is very good, the room is very modern, new and clean, with a large ans clean bathroom with amenities. The only bad point is that they don´t have a safe box in the room, but they have in the reception. The staff is great, always ready to help you, the breakfast is very good and the hotel restaurant serves pretty good foods for lunch and dinner. I would recomend this hotel for everyone, me and my family really liked it. Just to put a safe box in the room
Very well located
The room was immaculate and well kept. Beds were firm. Would definitly stay here again.
Helpfulness by the stay. The bar tender during he evening of our stay was very curtious and informative. prices for drinks at the bar much to high
A good hotel near to the more expensive shopping area , the staff are excellent in the way they communicate and help guests. I have now stayed a few times in the hotel and find its location safe (especially for Napoli and nice to walk around, there are interesting bars, trattorias and restaurants nearby. Not this hotel in particular, but in general the price of in hotel breakfasts, and I do know real Italians and what they eat for breakfast I am not commenting on the lack of a big American fry up. Only looking for a cornetto and cafe latte variation for a sensible price.
perfect location very comfortable hotel!
Friendliness of Hotel Staff Amenities need updated Air Conditioning did not function very well if at all, room was very uncomfortable temperature wise.
Hotel location, restaurant staff Front desk was very impatient, the rooms from 21st floor and above are refurbished, so make sure you ask for these rooms because the rest of the rooms are really worn out and are not pleasant to stay in, breakfast was very basic and included very few vegetables
The location In napoli is very good. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff. On the edge of being rude. We stayed 3 days and everyday, 1 lift was out of order. Considering this hotel receives a lot of tourist bus, imagine when you are trying to take a lift. For the same reasons of tourist bus, It was difficult to take breakfast, no table available or no food available. We had 3 rooms and in each room, the safety box was "out of order". The reception sent somebody to fix it but could not find the problem. The free internet service in the lobby was also "out of order". The lift to the garage was "out of order". Finally, except for the location, we cannot recommend this hotel.
We wanted a view of the bay so got a room upgrade without having to pay extra. The famous AC Milan football team also stayed while we were here and Liverpool stayed the week before! The service in the restaurant was very poor. We waited over 30 mins for our drinks and over an hour for our meal which was ok but not worth the wait. The prices for the food and drinks in the bar and restaurant were ridiculously expensive. This also applies to the mini bar in the rooms.
The public areas were clean and atractive and the staff were pleasant. The bed was comfortable and the linen and towels were crisp and clean I requested a room near to a friend who was on floor no.25 but when I received my key I was on floor 17 when I pointed out my request I was confronted by a kirt "it is not possible". I aslo requested a non smoking room but was put on a smoking floor. They advertise a safe in every room I never found one in mine. The enamel on the bath was badly damaged. The razor socket in the bathroom was broken so much so that water could enter the mechanism.There was a smell in the bahroom.The air conditioning didn't appear to be working.It would appear that at sometime the room had been broken into because the inside door frame was damaged.The day before we were due to leave, our room was stripped as if we were vacating it that day, this was promptly resolved by a receptionist.Every time we wanted service from the bar we had to find the barman who appeared to double up in the dining room. You may wonder why I didn't complain but I was there to support a friend who had been mugged and badly beaten and was in hospital I therefore had more important things on my mind and spent very little time in the room. I may have to return but will consider a different hotel.The room was 1727
Efficient and well organized, clean rooms. I would expect in a hotel to have a map of the city to be offered to the clients. Also, more care to have english in every leaflet and post.
Breakfast was great. Room was nice. All italian channels (no variety) + impossible to order movies
The selection for breakfast was extremely poor. For a buffet breakfast I would expect a greater choice. I certainly in the past have found a better selection at lower rated hotels.
trough the window we can see all naples very beautiful panorama... stains on the wall in the room, broken bathroom glass, rusted bathroom tubes.
the location was grade because there are restaurants and bus station near by. The view from the high floors is breathtaken !!!!!!! the breakfast eas poor for 4 stars hotel . and the difficulty of aproaching the parking which doesnot belong to the hotel!!!
very good
Très propre et bien situé. Le quartier est sympa et animé. La piscine est un avantage incontestable à Naples où il n'y a pas de plage. Je rassure les nouveaux: le wifi marche très bien! La salle de bain était un peu vétuste et humide. Un bruit de moteur sourd était présent en continu. Un personnel très contrasté: des gens très aimables et souriants et des personnes très désagréables qu'on avait l'impression de déranger!
View is spectacular and the walk along the beach is great. Breakfast is good. Carpets and walls looking a little tired, but certainly everything is clean!
Sorry, not much. Breakfast overlooking the sea but inside away from the traffic is the best I can come up with. Hard lumpy bed. Pool closed on arrival. Refusal to provide iron/ironing board to tidy my dress before going out, curt to point of rude reception staff but most important no one smiled - not even once.
The hotel provided an excellent buffet breakfast which was included in the price. The view of the Bay of Naples was magnificent, particularly from the dining room. I also had dinner there and the service was excellent and friendly.
The hotel staff were great and the room was terrific. There was a great balcony and the view was incredible. The shower was awful. There was only a partial "door", and water got everywhere when you took a shower. We had to cover the floor in every towel we had in preparation for the swamp that followed. The pool also required swim caps which was weird and a big bummer because who wants to wear a swim cap?
Staff were lovely. We had a problem with our room when we checked in initially and we were moved without any hesitation. Also, when we were leaving we asked for a recommendation for a hotel in sorrento and Monica, a fabulous lady helped us to secure a hotel for 8 days. This was completely above and beyond and we very much appreciated it. She had also recommended a beautiful place for dinner near the hotel. Good helpful staff working in a hotel in a new city for visitors are worth their weight in gold, this lady in particular was exceptional! No complaints about the hotel and the location was good. Naples is abit nuts though, 2 days is plenty!
The room was cleaned every day and the sheets changed daily. The decor was lovely but there was a lot of unfinished work in this area. For example a fixing had been put on the wall and the plaster had broken away and no one prepaired the damage.
Beautiful view of the castle, the sea and the mountains.
The balcony and the seaview The room The central location.
I love the location and room. However, the breakfast was the only poor parts. Their coffee is a shame of Italy. If the tourist comes to Italy at the first time and drank that coffee, they will all think that Italian coffee is horrible,,but the truth is one of the best. They should really change that coffee and stop serving conserved fruits, Naples has wonderful fresh fruits!!!
The view was fantastic and the room was ok. Pool area was fabulous We were charged for items from the minibar which we never had. Were woken at 12 midnight on the first night of our honeymoon and told we had to change room. Told it was our honeymoon but got no welcome basket for it.
Luxury hotel, well situated. Great breakfast on the tarrace - excellent personel (Mr Mario). Good room service.Tasty meals. Perfect barman Not fully satisfied with Concierge and reception personel - they seemed to have something more important to do than paying you enough attention. Parking - you have to go on foot to pay and to collect the car
Close to dining and shopping. Close to the port to catch the ferry to Capri and the other islands. Its the best hang out spot in naples. Staff was friendly.
They implied that breakfast was included then we got whacked for 27 a head on breakfast. Most expensive muffin I ever ate
The location was great. Walking distance to many restaurants Seemed like one day this was a grand hotel. Today it's old and dusty. The room size was great but the sheets were rough and the hallways looked like they needed to be vacuumed.
The location is great. The music of a wedding in the hotel was loud until late hours in the night. this is not acceptable in a hotel like this.
Reception by personel was terible:poor english, unfriendly (few persons starting by manager of reception) Very expensive for price paid. For breakfast large choice but personel disputing between them, not profesional behaviour. It is the first time when I see something like this. Our 10 days holidays in Italy (Florence, Genoa, Tuscany, Milano) were fantastic but not in this hotel. Sorry because behind are people & familly, but something has to change.
Excellent staff, fantastic room,bueautiful view, good breakfast, good decor. No
Old world charm and great location. Staff was very helpful. Rooms were a bit dated.
the staff and the comfort cooperation with staff,because of their poor english..
The staff were extremely helpful. I had no problem with the language and they could all speak English. All staff were eager to please and offered excellent advice on where to eat and where to go to experience Napoli. The services offered were exceptional and I was treated as a special guest. I recommend this hotel to anyone going to Napoli.
Excellent hotel in perfect position with professional staff . Has everything anyone could wish for was an ideal base for three wonderful days in Napoli no
Amazing views, great location Limited catering, no evening meal and even basics like snacks in the evening were not available
Old. Needs a complete renovation of interior. Wi fi also needs to be updated and strenghthened. Location and rooftop restaurant are only selling points right now.
The staff was helpful and nice They need to update the hotel a bit it's very dated it's like stepping into 1945. They need to make the hotel like Thr terrace they have on the very top there is a restaurant there and it's the only area of the hotel that I would consider a 5. Star.they should use the style of that restaurant for the entire hotel.
Good position good views good breakfast. But its opulence is fading fast and the spa/pool etc was closed as it was Sunday - this is not stated in the web site so the value was poor as we had expectations that did not come to fruition. No use of pool. Old fashioned.
best position in Napoli, very nice hotel and staff, especially the girl from reception who is very nice and beautifull
The best part is the location - right across from the train station. You can walk with your luggage directly to the hotel. The rooms were well appointed, spacious bathrooms, separate room for luggage - which was a plus.
very good ground floor staff... ie reception and concierge lot of construction work outside hotel
The service of the staff was great. The food and room facilities were all of a very good quality. Nicely decorated hotel. The hotel is on Piazza Garibaldi, next to the train station and a bit noisy. This area of Naples is very dirty and to say the least tends to detract from the hotel which was the best out of the 10 hotels in Italy we have stayed in so far.
We dropped some cash in the lift and a staff picked it up and sent it back to us even before we realised it. His honesty should be commended! Housekeepers woke us up every morning at around 9:30am. Perhaps they could do the rooms at around 11 am without waking up the guests.
fitness room, parking poor breakfast, location
Bed was super comfy, the rooms were very clean, shower was hot and had good water pressure, the included breakfast was amazing! Only thing not so good about this hotel is the location. Right next to the central train station, which is convenient, however the area is sketchy. Lots of pickpockets
(1) Excellent location. 2 mins' walk from the station!! , (2) Cleanses of hotel lobby and (3) neat breakfast hall. Receptionist service could be better.
Small balcony overlooking city. Decent bathroom Service was abrupt almost to rudeness. Breakfast was poor - cold coffee and stale pastries. Ripped off by the taxi that the hotel called for us.
Excellent location, clean room and good breakfast. Extremely small room with very soft/worn mattress, safe deposit box in room does not work and extremely small shower stall (can't even bend down).
Overall the hotel and room were very nice. Breakfast was included and it was delicious. Also, the restaurant was very nice for lunch and dinner. I was here to present at a conference and the conference rooms of the hotel were nice and they provided folders, papers, pens, and water for participants. The hotel was right next to the central metro station which was very convenient to get on the metro and do some sightseeing. However, I don't think this hotel is in a "tourist area" and it is more where the locals go to catch the bus and the metro. The hotel is in a sketchy area and the room I had was noisy. I would not go out after dark. I was sexually harassed on the street one night while I was trying to get dinner. During the day was okay though. The room was also cold at night and no matter what setting I put the thermostat at the temperature never changed. The tv and treadmill in the fitness center did not work. Also, the business center was not available due to renovations. In addition, I asked the front desk staff what/where there was to sightsee and I was just given a city map with no indication of where things were located. The woman just circled a broad area of the map and told me to go there. That was not helpful at all.
Internet access was an important feature of my choice of hotel, and this was inoperative for my stay, which as it was a business trip caused great inconvenience. On a more general point, I feel it ridiculous that wi-fi access should be charged for in addition to standard room rates, it is now such a general requirement, an essential.
We made reservations for three nights, and we stayed only hours and next day rushed out of there. It was the worse stay in any hotel we have ever been to. Imagine the location being in the worst part of the city you live in. The room was small, atrocious, the chair was so overused that none of us could even sit on it. The bathroom was atrocious; tiny, no shelves, cabinets, counter top. We had to put our toiletry bags on the floor. Italy is our favorite country, but this hotel should be ashamed of themselves for even using the word "Palazzo". Everything. We ran out of there like bats out of hell. Atrocious! We are not the kind of family seeking luxury. You get what you pay for, but this is an embarrassment to the hotel business not to say Italy. The surrounding area was so bad, that the hotel staff lock the doors day and night.
Clean and quiet. Good breakfast. Good location need the old city. The internet didn't work one night!
The location of the hotel was excellent for my needs. It was clean and tidy.
museum visit Naples
I liked the cleanliness of the room and the cable tv. Nothing
Friendly staff. Very old, tiny shower and bathroom, not in a very good neighborhood.
Central location, quiet, nice rooms, good value for money. Will come back.
room nice and large. large flat screen TV. hotel staff friendly.room and bathroom clean. No view from our room or decent balcony. Window very small. resturant out of use during our stay.
close to grocery store and walking distance to all attractions none
The location was fantastic. The room was nice and spacious with a balcony overlooking the city and the breakfasts were good
location is great, breakfast ok, room fine works going on in the street and so a lot of noise. I know these kind of works can take a lot of time (years) so be prepared
The quality of the hotel was excellent, decor and room-size great, the best we had in Italy The location is not the best, but stil within walking distance of highlights
The cleaniness of the hotel and room in particular was amazing, just wanted was needed after a day out sightseeing! The service was very good and the hotel staff were welcoming and polite, especially the reception staff. The choice of breakfast was very good, healthy choices as well as the more traditional fare. I would certainly use this hotel again if visiting Naples. No negative comment to make
Traveled a lot throughout Europe and never know what kind of hotel one will get. This was one of the top class hotels I've stayed in and would definitely go back. Very modern, clean and in a great safe location. You can see everything from the city to the harbor on foot. Hotel staff also has great recommendations on excursions to Capri, Sorrento, Positano, etc..
Everything was good, perticularly staff and location
In essence the hotel is a beautiful oasis of comfort and calm tucked away inside vibrant, noisy, beautiful Napoli. Some day,in years to come,I will be back with my wife and this where we will stay.Please write at least 15 words
Location was very good, close to shopping area and the Port. Very safe that you can come back from your dinner late night by walking.
The room and the bathroom are renewed and very confortable
This hotel is very clean and wide.The staff are almost friendly.The kind of the breakfast was not too much,but the taste was really good.I would highly reccomend this hotel. I cannot use WiFi in the room,but I can use it out of the room.
Hotel corridors were pretty. Everything else! Uncomfortable beds, inhospitable staff, Wi-Fi totally unusable, shower temperature fluctuated from scalding to freezing, and room was rather depressing. I would never recommend this hotel, nor would I stay here again.
Everything was excellent - the room, the staff, the location. The staff were all very helpful and room service was very good. Check-in and out was very quick with minimal paperwork. Noise from the bar and reception area in the evening. The bar seemed to be open to the main hall and noise travelled to the rooms. However there was no noise from 12midnight so this was not a great problem.
First trip to Naples and this was a great choice of hotel. Situated in the back streets of what could be considered a 'fashion or shopping' district. Rooms great, very nice. Good size for Europe. Breakfast good too. Nothing out standing, but it was all fresh and well 'cared' for. I have a 5 star hotel working background - so can be very fussy. This was a beautiful hotel. Amazingly quiet considering it's location. Nope. The hotel is down a pedestrian only street - which is really only a hassle for the porters or taxi driver. Any extra few euros will get your bag carried by the taxi driver.
Very nice hotel in the most charming part of Naples. Great staff.
The staff, the rooms were excellent. It's a hidden treasure right in the centre of the old Napoli. It was perfect. The staff really excelled themselves and their sense of pride in their city and it the service they offer to their guests was highly evident.
I never intend to stay anywhere else in Naples in the future. This hotel is beautiful, elegant, convenient, imaginatively renovated in a historic palace, modern, spotlessly clean, yet unpretentious and friendly. The staff members were extremely gracious and obviously proud of the hotel.
Charming hotel in the center of the old city. Very kind staff and a good room.
the staff was awesome, very helpful. The place was very quaint and very clean. Enjoyed our stay
a very friendly staff, they gave us great recommendations about places to go, the hotel is gorgeous palace hidden in a typical small napolitan street. only one problem: wifi signal was very weak and internet would disconnect all the time.
Friendly front desk staff, good location. poor breakfast selection and service.Small showers.
Great central, characterful and historic location with impressive restoration of part of a medieval palazzo. Staff most helpful. Don't be discouraged by the rather dark street - perfectly safe. Found the aircon set rather high so a bit stuffy but we just opened the window
Hotel was very well furnished, staff was excellent. The location was not very desirable. Lots of graffiti in neighborhood, few restaurants or shops within walking distance. Taxi was only transportation available.
The staff were very helpful and the location in the old part of the city very convenient. This is a quiet oasis in a (potentially) noisy district. Ignore the off putting entrance, once up the stairs all is very good. People say this area of Naples can be a bit " dangerous" - bag snatching and so on. Our experience was that all the people we encountered were very friendly and helpful - do not be put off. Hard to find so print off a map to give to the taxi driver at the airport!!!!
The stylish rooms, nicely renovated interior The surroundings are so-so and the entrance is really something I would have never imagined to hide a 4* hotel
fabulous historic building (inside); large beautifully furnished rooms with all the mod-con's; perfect location in centro storico; grand breakfast room; excellent staff walking down the street and seeing garbage and graffiti...the "norm" in Napoli! also the grungy staircase leading to the second floor is a poor first impression to the hotel grandeur
Nice, renovated hotel. Very unpleasant surroundings.
The feature i liked best was the informal atmosphere. There was nothing to dislike.
Gentilezza e dispnibilità del personale, vicinanza con i mezzi (treno, metro, bus) e con la Humberto I, una della lunghe via della cità. Si puo riagunee tutti i punti a piede, fare giro a piede per Napoli, belissima cità! / PT: Aconselho a todos! English: Very nice! niente di negativo, ma forse la collazione potrebbe avere un'iogurtino!
The hotel is close to the railway station and not far from the historical center. very dangerous location! Familiarity and rudeness of the staff. One night the receptionist rushed into the room without any warning or knocking about 5am! it's outrageous! I wouldn't recommend it to anyone to stay at this hotel! If only for one night to take the train to another place
Well equipped and clean room, good service and a kind and helpful staf. Breakfast buffet not sufficient to our standard.
Very nice room at a reasonable price. Staff very helpful and friendly It is located in a horrible area!
Very good location, between railway station and old streets. The hotel is in a small street, rather quiet in spite of the central location. The internal decoration is handsome, service is good in general. Naples is an inexpensive city, with fantastic cultural heritage (the old streets, Vesuvio, Pompei, Herculanum -- and the National Archeological Museum, don't miss the wonderful Roman frescoes!). The washbasin (water draining) in the bathroom was a little bit blocked. Breakfest is rather miserable (a very common thing in Italy). But above all, Napoli's streets are nowadays full of rubbish heaps (problem with the Mafia). But this is not a problem of this hotel in particular.
Staff was very friendly The hotel is in a bad location
Near Stazione Centrale Hotel is not 300 metres from the train station as stated, closer to 1km. Reception was rude and unprofessional, room was dirty as was the bathroom. Very ugly decor. Breakfast was terrible, waiter was possibly mentally retarded, more concerned about getting people's room number than remembering their coffee orders. The only friendly staff at the hotel is the cleaners. Avoid at all costs.
Modern interior, very nice bathroom, close to port for ferries. Noise of the tv from reception
The staff was amazing and very helpful!
Very nice hotel with good location (not far from harbour and center). The rooms are very good, big and with stylish design. Staff was very helpfull. A bit strange building, where the hotel is situated, without special signs about hotel. Poor breakfast like in majority of italian hotels.
I liked very much the hotel and we enjoyed our staying. The room was super- designed, even if it's a bit kitch, like a table suported by 5 angels =) We stayed at lux, and we had really cool jacuzzi (thouth it was loosing water, and after ll th floor was wet). In general we liked it, i would've put 9 from 10.They also recomended vr good restaurant downstairs, it calls Castello Nuovo (I guess)), the food was amaizing! The onlu one thing that there was confusion when we arrived. We couldn't find the hotel, coz it's not like they have some billboard on the road or adv ecc. We took the elvator, came to the door of the hotel, and no one opened a door to us, coz' the guy from reception left it... we were waiting kinda 15 min before he came, and we were thinking that they just have stolen our money and our bank accounts are already empty.... lol...and 1 more thing, i didn't like that there was a lot of garbage downstairs... but it's what Napoli like!!! U can do nothing.
Super friendly staff, perfect rooms.great!
friendly staff, very good located Breakfast
Close to the train station Mildew in the bathroom real bad old beds sagging old bedspreads
Location - very, very closed to the central station 50meters away from the main entrance. There is a free luggage storage facility. Breakfast ok, but should be improved.
The location of the hotel was very good for those who plan moving around Napoli - it's located 5 mins from the train station. The price was relatively OK - 30 EUR for a double is reasonable, however in high season they may charge you as much as 120 EUR per night The breakfast in the hotel was disgusting. No fresh bread, no juices, just coffee (don't dream about the italian type of coffee...) and very poor variety of jams. One type of cheese, some ham of doubtable quality and one type of cereal - this is not what you expect normally. Well, you can always skip the hotel breakfast and go to the nearest bar for a capuccino and cornetto.
Travelling around. Very good hotel for the price. The only problem was, that earlier check-in was not possible, but we could solve it.
Strategical position near Train/subway station, clean rooms, basic but tasty breakfast. Staff was very friendly and helpfull. Missing fridge.
staff very nice, rooms well clean .. hotel well located. Size of the room really small, no lift, reduced spaces complicated to stay with a baby because not enough space on rooms, halls, lobby, Internet only at the lobby and bar.
Pleasent rooms, even they are simply furnished. Train and bus station near the hotel, so you can make local trips anytime, anywhere. Breakfast was the same every day. Construction in front of hotel, I hope temporary.
La signora who was at the reception when we arrived gave as a lot of useful tips about the public transportation, the places to visit and the city. Thank you! The hotel is very good situated for visiting Pompei, Capri and the old city. It is a pity that the city is so dirty! The breakfast could be more varied.
Excellent food and drinks. The staff was very helpful and professional except for one waiter. Very nice pool / SPA and hotel atmosphere / interior. The housekeeping was rather like 3 or 4 star hotel. The opening hours of bar, restaurant etc. was typically Italian instead of international, which leads to not getting something to eat or drink between specific hours.
Modern exciting design, very good staff Noise air-conditioner, controversial location
The Romeo is an upscale, eclectic hotel, near the waterfront in Naples. The service is generally excellent, and the rooftop pool is unusual and not to be missed. The rooms are high tech, perhaps too much so. The overnight shift at the front desk could use some retraining - indifference seems to be the primary attitude. Naples itself seems safe and is a vibrant city, but it sure is dirty and needs routine litter pick up and infrastructure maintenance.
Everything was amazing! When leaving we told them that everyone across the world would do well to take after their lead of impeccable service! Where do I begin... As soon as we entered the door we were swarmed with people to take our bags and take them directly to our room! Then we were escorted to our room where we were then orientated- very modern, so you need a little briefing...LOL! THey have a mini bar that calculates what you took out and automatically puts it on your bill. There were also the most delectable strawberry cream appetizers awaiting our arrival along with apples and water. THe decor was gorgeous! We wanted to stay the whole time and not go to Capri it was so nice! We ate dinner at the restaurant- top of the line 5 star plus service! They even brought me a table for my purse! The lady did not get a menu with the prices which I though was amazing- they also gave us a water menu...who would have thought? As soon as our candle lost its flame on our table it was replaced within 5 seconds...no joke! We went to workout the next day and the windows were not working, but before we new it they had called the contractor to come fix them temporarily so we were comfortable. I can not say enough about this hotel- I have told all of my co-workers and friends about this hotel and we will definately be staying again! ??? Are you kidding??? What is there not to like? Unless you don't like helpful, friendly people!
The good ambience n excellant service The lack of internationa tv channel as all were italian, they shud cater to internatinal guest
Good location, luxury hotel the spa was not ready... :-)
The ambience and execellant service from staff, they when out of thier way to render assistance when i need to go to Sorrento and the Hydrofoil was grounded. The hotet entertaintment like the TV channels must cater for tourist who dont speak italian ,i.e more english channels
Hotel was nice- Modern and up to date The neighborhood was terrible= Naples looked like it was rundown with crime from where this hotel was situated. The room was small and somehow, the shower opened directly to the bed. The lights in the room were on a sensor- so if you are showering and not moving, the lights shut off within 60 seconds. on my high standard, the hotel was essentially built to try and be a 5star, but failed to get there. the beds were terrible as well- 5 star hotel, i expect a queen or a king bed that is not a stiff European bed on a board. If you want a 5star luxury hotel, its not that. But it was nice.
Nice contemporary rooms. The "Japanese" theme did not match the Italian atmosphere. The hotel is situated in the wrong area; it should have been placed in the suburban area of Naples to match its lush atmosphere. I did not like the fact that every item (water, internet service, breakfast, local telephone call, etc.) was a la carte. The prices in the restaurants were also extremely expensive. This hotel seems to benefit the businessman as opposed to the average vacationer.
Very modern hotel. state of the arts room such as auto-lighting, glass made wall,desk and toilet door representing 21st century in this old city. friendly hotel staffs except 1 woman in the restrant . expensive breakfast. inconvenient to/from station & downtown center
The service and presentation was impeccable,the bed one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in.Top marks in all areas!
Quality of room
Breakfast is fantastic. The hotel has a big courtyard and view from the room is nice. The interior is also cool. The hotel is renovated an old nobles mansion, and we could relax in spite of the outer noisy area. I didn't feel the area safe especially at night. Far from the central station and Naples port.
Breakfast is good
Good breakfast. Poor service, and the wifi did not work for 2 out of 4 days of stay.
Nice and quiet, they must have put a lot of effort into soundproofing. The building is very elegant. Receptionists are a bit offhand, but that seems to be the Naples style.
Excellent value for money, beautiful design and very comfortable rooms. Situated close to the central train station and the area around looks a bit dodgy.
Rooms and the Palatial interior Courtyard Neighbor was a little rough but eclectic
The hotel was like an oasis. Very good, modern design, very comfortable roome and a delightful courtyard in the middle of a so-so area of Naples. I can't think of anything.
Beautiful courtyard with inexpensive breakfast that is all natural and organic including traditional Italian meats The gym facilities are terrible for weightlifting. Good for cardio.
The Palazzo Caracciolo was the best part of my visit to Napoli. I have dreamed of visiting this part of the world for many years and without my stay at the Palazzo Caracciolo I think I would have been a little disappointed in my visit to Napoli. The Hotel was fantastic!! Weather
Excellent all round Just the location with all the rubbish on the streets !
In my opinion, this hotel is very good. The people working in this hotel are very warm-hearted and very professional. I feel very happy to stay here for one week.

JS Industries Demo Day
Average surfers put the world's best boards under their feet in hopes of surfing like Parko and Occy.
Finally a demo with some surf! Normally cursed with flat conditions, we rallied the troops this morning at Buccaneer Beach in Oceanside, CA. to test out boards from JS Industries in fun, three to four foot peaks. Below is the feedback from everyday surfers like you and me…
I rode two boards today; a 5'10 x 19" x 2 3/8" Mystery model shaped for Joel Parkinson and a 5'8" x 19.5" x 2 3/8" I Am Red model. I paddled out the Parko model with visions of surfing like a bar of soap in a bathtub but it was a bit too beefy for me, which makes sense because Parko isn't a small bloke. I liked how the board flew down the line but it was kinda corky and didn't want to bite into the wave when I tried to turn. A bit thinner and this bad boy would have been a keeper. The great thing about a demo is that if a board doesn't feel right, you simply go in and swap it out for something more to your liking. With something a bit smaller in mind I grabbed the "I Am Red" stick (which interestingly enough wasn't red) and had it set up as a quad (with five FCS boxes my options were wide open). This board felt great; super fast down the line and able to turn on a dime. What I really liked about it was the wider nose; it really helps your paddling. Granted I wasn't doing Occy hacks, but I'd put one of these in my quiver in a heartbeat!—Justin Coté/TWS Online Editor
When there are 100 boards lying around it's hard to pick one out and say it's gonna be the one. Since I like a little more volume in the nose, the JS crew started me off with a 6'0" Mystery which had a full mid section. I rode it on a few waves and felt the beefiness of it wasn't my cup of tea for the steep beachbreak conditions. After that, I grabbed a 6'1" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" Forget Me Not which is a narrower performance board. The dimensions weren't perfect for me, but the board definitely achieved the rail-to-rail effect you'd want in a shortboard. For anyone's quiver (or at least those who can afford a quiver), this would be a chest-high plus, punchy-wave performance board.—Aaron Checkwood/TWS Photo Editor/Owner Of A Vintage Body Glove Wetsuit
Just back from the JS demo at Buccaneer Beach in O'Side—the spread of boards was amazing! I test drove a 6'1' Mystery and a 6'1' Konfusion. Both had signature series Parko fins. The waves were a bit of a challenge by the time I arrived; offering up short interval double ups. I normally ride 6'3" but both models paddled pretty fast for the shorter length.
-The Konfusion rode smooth through every strange transition and carried speed without effort. It felt really comfortable off my front foot when I had to be forward on the board—this is a must in the daily quiver. It could ride in larger and better quality surf or supply joy in junk.
-The Mystery (which had a tight little swallow tail) was almost too fast for the short shoulders on offer. It turned far tighter than the Konfusion in the pocket but supplied too much drive on my forehand—the board had an electric turbocharger hidden under the hood! The Mystery wanted more than O-Side had to offer…today.
-If you're interested in trying a few new Tractors come down to Seaside Reef in Solana Beach Saturday, July 9th between 8am -1pm.—Jeff Baldwin/TWS Sales/80s World Tour Warrior
I tried four boards today and had four totally different experiences. I surfed the:
1. Konfusion 6'2″ x 19 x 2 3/8
2. Kingpin 5'11" X 19 1/2 X 2 ½
3. Mystery 6'1″ X 19 1/4 X 2 ½
4. I Am Red Quad 6'0″ X 20 X 2 ½
My favorite board was the "Mystery" (after I figured out that one of the fins
was missing on my first wave—apparently you're supposed to screw them in beforehand?) it was fast down the line and very responsive in the pocket but a little squirrely for the first couple of waves. Once I got used to it, I decided that this is the perfect board for waves under head high. My least favorite board was the "I Am Red" quad because it was way too much board. It was really hard to get on rail and just too much volume for me. Maybe a smaller version would have been the ticket. The Kingpin was the other standout for me; it had a double bump rounded pin tail and was set up as a thruster (but had a quad option). This board was super fun and responsive and less squirrely than the Mystery even at a smaller size. It turned on a dime and accelerated out of my turns, always a plus.—Charlie Anderson/TWS Publisher/Somewhat Hairy Barista

The NBA Lockout Workout (Now for Normal People)
Jessica (Patriots): "I absolutely think we have what it takes to make it to
Indy this season. We have veterans with championship experience, new additions like
Chad Ochocinco, and fresh rookies who will be polished — by the greatest
coaching staff in the league."
Casey (Eagles): "We had great players last year and made the playoffs.
Now we've added guys like Jason Babin and Nnamdi Asomugha — one of the
best shutdown corners in the league. With those guys, plus Vick, Jackson, and McCoy, I
feel like we have a great chance of winning every game we play this year."

Do I have to ask you... Where do the restrictions begin and end??
Is it wrong to take a reasonable look at the abortion industry and make sure it really is safe and rare??
Many of you like to take comfort in thinking most
Abortions take place in the first trimester under 12 weeks( which I still find apprehensible.. But I distress)
Also I hear often that no women gets a late term abortion( usually meaning 14-24 weeks) for the "hell of it"...
So would you condemn such behavior if you found out it was taking often more than you think??
Do you know in Maryland you can legally have a very late term abortion???
A pro life group called live action just released a video of a very prominent late term abortion doctor...
This group had done stings before
But many write them off as edited or staged
This one is hard to write off because it has a known do for discussing late term abortion and some of them do seem to be for the hell of it.
Planned parenthood spokesperson has come out and said there is nothing wrong with what this man is doing and to compare him to Gosnell is unfair.
They only accuse him of distasteful language... Saying the dead baby won't decay in the belly... It just softens like meat in a crock pot.( ugg)
Even says that try baby he about to kill would probably have a 50:50 chance of survival if delivered .( again ugg) ... So he is admitting to aborting potentially viable babies...
He is currently under investigation for the death of a
Young women who
Sought him out to have an abortion at 37 weeks for medical reasons..both her and baby died from the late term abortion...
Which he claims was pregnancy related not abortion related.
So my question is is this okay??
Should his behavior not be condemned and practice halted??
It is this too ok with pro choice people?

Think he's showed why he was champion in Strikeforce both fights that he's lost. I genuinely think he's got too much money so has lost a bit of the hunger for fighting, that or he's failing now he's not Uberroid. Seems to just get complacent.
Still legit though.

He could be a force at lhw I think.i dunno maybe I want him to be better than he is,or maybe he is just out of sorts at the min.i think a fight against big nog would make or break him
Twitter @ricbrad
Maybe,but it would be what overeem needs.who else do you think?if Mir wasn't already occupied I would think that would be a no brainer
Twitter @ricbrad
Iv said it before Barry is the make or break fight he needs stand up war somebody gets knocked out we have our answers.
Retired 2k and out.
The whole Reem signing has blown up in the UFC and Dana's face.
They wheeled out the shell of Brock Lesnar to give Reem a big name win in North America.
Reem then blows it by failing a roid test and losing by KO/TKO to two hand picked fighters.

12/12/12: Concert of the year in the world's greatest arena
Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Eric Clapton, Roger Waters, Bruce Springsteen and many others will come together tonight for 12/12/12 The Concert for Sandy Relief at New York's Madison Square Garden. Proceeds from the sold-out show will go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund, which will disperse the funds to non-profit groups that are helping the tens of thousands of people throughout the Tri-State area who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy.
If you don't have a ticket to the show, you can still have a front row seat as it will be on TV, online, in movie theaters and on the radio.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will kick it off at 7:30 and Paul McCartney will close it out. The others who will fill in the three-and-a-half hours in between are Eddie Vedder, Bon Jovi, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Chris Martin, Dave Grohl and a slew of celebrities including Billy Crystal, Adam Sandler, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Chris Rock, Jimmy Fallon and many others.
An album of highlights will be released by Columbia via iTunes, and no doubt there will also be a DVD down the road as well.
All of the artists are happy to be helping a great cause:
"The Jersey coast had a very unique personality. It was sort of -- you know, some place where there was well-to-do people, there's a lot of places where there's a lot of working class people, middle class people that were able to have homes. So to see it washed away, we just very painful," said Bruce Springsteen.
Paul McCartney revealed, "We have one or two songs that will resonate, I think, and be something to do with the whole event. But mainly it's have fun time."
Long Islander Billy Joel confessed, "It's kind of truamatic. I'm a Long Islander, I'm proud to be a Long Islander. And to see something like this happen is devastating. The way life has been disrupted, a way of life has been disrupted, I don't seen how it's ever going to go back to the way it was."

Bristol, Tenn. - Champ Stuart hit a pair of doubles and drove in four RBIs and Randy O'Dell added three hits and drove in three as the Brevard College baseball team survived a late scare by King College in defeating the Tornado at King Field, 13-11.
Kevin Hamilton (1-0) picked up the win for Brevard as the Tornados improve to 5-6 on the season, while Dustin Haithcox picked up his first save. Wesley Houser fell to 1-2 on the season as the Tornado fell to 5-5.
After a scoreless first inning, Brevard sent nine men to the plate with five scoring in the second frame to put the Tornados up 5-0. Brett Brinson, Stuart and Zack Merriken hit doubles in the inning and runners scored on a wild pitch and a passed ball as Brevard broke the game open early in the contest.
The Tornados scored two more in the third as Stuart connected on a Houser pitch and drilled it down the left field line, scoring Steele Myers and O'Dell with two out in the inning, going up 7-0 to stake Brevard starter Joseph Lepore to a 7-0 lead.
The first six batters for Brevard in the top of the fourth reached base and came around to score as the Tornados built their largest lead of the 2011 season at 13-0. Ron Patterson, Ethan Pressley and Christian Christopoulos loaded the bases to lead off the inning. Brinson drew a walk to score Patterson and Kramer Clark's single to left centerfield to bring around Pressley to open the scoring in the inning. O'Dell followed with a double to plate Christopoulos and Brinson, and Clark and O'Dell came around to score, but King relief pitcher Nick Melcher escaped the inning as Merriken hit into a double play to limit the damage.
A triple from the King's Josh Huffman started the comeback in the bottom of the sixth as he came around to score on a single from Jordan Woullard to put the first run on the board for the Tornado.
Three more runs scored in the seventh to cut the score to 13-4, giving way to the rally in the bottom of the ninth. The Tornado rally in the ninth saw the team send 11 players to the plate with Bryant Walker doing most of the damage, clearing the bases with a three RBI double with two outs. Steven Mueller brought the tying run to the plate in driving home Walker to put the score at 13-11, but Haithcox came in and retired Josh Huffman on a fly ball to right field to end the game.
Brevard returns home to Gil Coan Field this weekend as they host South Atlantic Conference opponent Newberry College in a three game weekend series. First pitch on Friday, February 25th, with come at 2 p.m., with the doubleheader between the Tornados and the Wolves on Saturday afternoon beginning at noon.

Seven bouts announced for March 1 at The Helix...
Seven bouts announced for March 1 at The Helix...
Cracking fight card so far....Enlund v Lobov should be a good fight.
Holy bat shit! What a fight!
The poster formally known as Steve_Langford.
Massive fight for Saul. Look a brilliant card
Great card so far. Definately a huge step up for Saul, but im sure he will be more than ready.
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get
Team Colosseum
Interesting fight that, I cant see one KO'ing the other as ive not been totally impressed with either's standup but Saul is a very good Wrestler and could keep Maguire on the mat if he can take him down but once down there Maguire could be very dangerous so be interesting how it pans out. I think its a hard one to call, Maguire will start as favourite and has fought the higher level guys but didnt impress that much is his last fight and if he starts that slow against Saul then he could find himself 2 rounds down before he gets into gear
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Sexy card. Can't wait.
I'm no gynecologist but I know a cunt when I see one.
Great fight for Saul. Win win imo.
Off topic here but I remember talk of Paul McVeigh dropping to flyweight last year and I think his last couple of fights were at 130lbs, any word on if he's dropping or staying put at bantamweight? Just thought I'd ask on here as I think he is signed to CW.
Two more added:
Benny Alloway vs. Jack Mason
Damien Brown vs. Paul Redmond

Guess what Miranda Lambert's dream pets are?
Listen to Miranda Lambert on iHeartRadio
While Miranda Lambert is known for her many dogs, she says she'd enjoy having some more exotic pets. But he country star tells "Country Aircheck" that if she hit the Powerball, she'd love to buy a baby kangaroo or an elephant!
She adds that elephants are really loving and can do tricks, and "like to be loved on."
Miranda explains that if she had the money, she'd get a trailer and bring the elephant and every animal she owned with her on tour. In that case, she would need a lot more than a tour bus - maybe a tour ARC would be better!
Lambert recently revealed that her first rescue dog, Delilah, has "kind of retired from the road," and isn't accompanying her on her tours anymore. The singer is currently on her "Locked and Reloaded" co-headlining trek with Dierks Bentley.

Katie Roche
Theater review. Mint Theater Company. By Teresa Deevy. Dir. Jonathan Bank. With ensemble cast. 2hrs 20mins. Two intermissions.
Teresa Deevy's Irish dramas aren't tragedies in the ancient Greek sense. Her ambitious protagonists are neither highborn nor true victims of fate, although they might argue that not being the former makes them the latter. But tragedy is a fitting term for the trio of works the Mint has excavated over three seasons for its reintroduction of the 1930s Abbey darling, who faded into near obscurity after that historic Irish theater stopped staging her plays.
Poor choices as much as unfortunate circumstances steer the fortunes of the title character in Katie Roche, Deevy's biggest hit in its day. Although not as hefty as the previous offerings, Temporal Powers and Wife to James Whelan, it's another sharp, carefully considered character study of a young woman undone by pride. Illegitimate and orphaned, Katie (Wrenn Schmidt) didn't have an easy start, but now holds a respectable job in the village home of Amelia Gregg (Margaret Daly). Still, Katie's desire for the extraordinary—especially after hearing that her father came from well-to-do people—prompts her to hastily accept the marriage proposal of Amelia's much older brother, Stanislaus (Patrick Fitzgerald). In the book of misguided choices, it's a doozy.
So is Schmidt. A well of emotions, her Katie turns seamlessly from fraught yearnings to fiery explosions. Fitzgerald doesn't match her range, but director Jonathan Bank and his ensemble tease out the play's subtextual finery, especially where Katie's need for and rage against father figures collide. Throughout, Deevy's prescient, prefeminist voice abounds with tempered affection for her wayward creations—for whom no catharsis is in store.—Diane Snyder

And now for 2010
No one is more surprised than I am that in my predictions last year, I actually got one right (namely, Number 9, about Fedora 11 being a great release). But one out of 10 is not a good average and, arguably, I can't really top last year's list this year, due to not enough inspirational events on the horizon.
But will I let 2010 pass without a several timely predictions? Hardly. As 2009 was a banner year for potential happenings that didn't quite come to pass, this year lacks the inspiration that last year carried. But that would never stop me from delving into a preview into the new year, done again in David Letterman-list style:
10. 2010 will absolutely, positively, without a doubt be the year of the Linux deskt . . . oh, never mind. The year of the Linux desktop will come along around the same time that there's a definitive, agreed-upon answer to the question, "What is cloud computing?"
9. MySQL gets a name change: With the purchase of Sun by Oracle, MySQL won't be yours, or mine, or anyone else's SQL for that matter. If anything is certain, it is the Oracle CEO's now, which is why in 2010 the name of the world's most popular open source (until recently?) database becomes LarrySQL.
8. Mr. T tosses his last grenade for World of Warcraft, converts to Battle for Wesnoth: Don't take my word for it. Here's a transcript of his side of the phone conversation — "Of course, sucka . . . Mr. T really is a hacka, fool, when he ain't doin' cookin' shows . . . Ah pity the fool who plays World of Warcraft now that I'm into Battle for Wesnoth . . . Sure, I brought along my Mr. T grenade, 'cause I make this game look good!" Murdock!
7. OpenSUSE changes reptiles: The GEICO gecko replaces the long-standing lizard as the OpenSUSE symbol, and becomes its reptilian spokeslizard. The German distro gets an Australian native in an effort to foster true internationalism.
6. Linux Mint goes upscale: Having gotten tired of the minty freshness and looking to appeal to more cosmopolitan tastes, Linux Mint will change over the course of the year to something a little more contemporary. It becomes Linux Merlot, with a bouquet that resonates from the north side of the vineyard slope. The distro will go a lot better with most cheeses.
5. Also, Linux Mint forks into a smaller distro: Linux Mint developers who don't drink wine, or anything else alcoholic, will fork the distro and make a version that will only run on thin clients, making it . . . say it with me . . . Linux Thin Mint. Monty Python fans continue to roll on the floor at the mere reference.
4. A farm version of the OLPC XO is developed: The One Laptop Per Child project provides a new version of the nearly indestructable XO laptop that is specifically geared toward those children who live on farms. Rather than calling it the XO, this version is called the EIEIO.
3. Mandriva creates an educational version: I missed by a mile last year on the prediction that Mandriva would explore its feminine side and release a more sensitive, nurturing distro called Womandriva. So shoot me. This year, Mandriva releases an educational version called Childriva. Count on it.
2. Sugar on a Stick expands: Sugar on a Stick, otherwise known as the Sugar Learning Platform, leaves the realm of simple USB sticks and thumb drives, and will provide its desktop atop Fedora on other types of "sticks," like hockey sticks, incense sticks and fish sticks.
1. The Free Software Foundation expands, finally, into brewing: Walking the walk after talking the talk for so many years, the FSF has always had free software covered, so finally they brew Free Beer (cc) in 2010, a fine Boston lager with a recipe that is released under the GPL. While free as in freedom only — it's comparably priced with other fine beers — all those free-as-in-freedom microbreweries can fork the brew under their own label, so long as they release their recipes under the GPL.
Happy New Year to all.

Rihanna to Miley: Hell yeah I'll make out with you!
Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Good news for fans of hot girls making out with each other - Rihanna says she's totally down to suck face with Miley Cyrus, just as soon as Miley calls her up, TMZ is reporting.
So, WHY is Rihanna talking about girl-on-girl action with Miley, you ask??
Long story short - according to TMZ, someone asked Miley the same question (in reverse) recently and M.C. said she'd "definitely" makeout with RiRi.
So, TMZ found Rihanna this weekend on her way out of Georgio Baldi and asked if the hypothetical feelings were mutual.
... and they are!
Now, we just gotta get the two of 'em in the same room ... with some Barry White ... and a camera.

I was wondering what people feel after a seizure, and how long that feeling lasts...I have been diagnosed with TLE, I get simple partial seizures....When I get seizures it usally lasts for a week on and off, then I will be fine for maybe 1 month...Can anyone please explain to me when you get a seizure how long does the faze last and the after effects....
Re: WHAT DO YOU FEEL AFTER SEIZURES
I am experiencing different things at different times. At church, I was singing and I felt like ? short circuiting in my brain? Weird to explain. Did not pass out though. at the same time my heart beat was palpitating or beating odd? A couple mins later when I got up to leave my left leg kept trying to give way and I thought what's up with this? It did it a few times and quit. Whe I got to the next building my left side of my face was spazzing sporatically. Then my hand, then my shoulder on the left. Did this a while, intermittently. In class, my other side began to act a little bit and the shaking was worse. I got up to leave and clumsily made it to the door. I felt a dull kind of headache. Went to the car and this did this off and on faor a while. Got a little worse, Never passed out but starting being emoptional and crying at one point. I was very tired and went home and slept the rest of the day. This is one example.
Re: WHAT DO YOU FEEL AFTER SEIZURES
My epilepsy happens about once a month with several "aura" episodes in a day. After that, I feel spacy, on edge and (kind of) jumpy for about ten days after that. I then feel fine for about a month and the cycle starts over again.
Re: WHAT DO YOU FEEL AFTER SEIZURES
That's an interesting question. Another would be "What do you feel during simple partial seizures?". I've had a couple different kinds, I'm not even sure that I could come close to describing them, but if there were common sensations then maybe they could be categorized, researched and treated in different ways.
Anyway, in answer to your question, I feel spacey for a day or two (or think that I do, it's really hard to tell). What's worse is the psychological effect - a feeling of frustration and helplessness, especially if things had been going well for a good period before the simple partial.
Re: WHAT DO YOU FEEL AFTER SEIZURES
I wake up feeling ok, but exhausted like i cant get enough sleep or something, i dont knpw if its the side effect of the meds or WHAT!!!! one hour im fine, the next im just feeling completely out of it....i start by getting nervous, my tongue starts getting numb n other parts of my body like my fingers, i start to shiver(hands mostly) get really anxious, sweat, i cant concentrate, cranky, short tempered, cant talk to people, spaced out n those feelings last for hours then i feel just fine(well i think), because after an hour or so (well depends when it decides to hit me) i start to panic all over again.
I get those feelings on/off through out the day/night! been feeling this way for weeks now! im not even sure if its just psychological (i know i can control it but i cant!) it is just frustrating that u have no control over it, this "aura" whatever u wanna call it. sometimes by just keeping busy i get the feeling that im doing better, but then again, it comes out of nowhere- its just so tiring n soooo frustrating that when u think ur doing well but then all of a sudden, ur just back to square one.
It hasnt been this bad for a long time 3yrs to be exact, for the past month or 2 its been hell for me n it just keeps getting worst @#$%##$%^*&^% MEDSSS!!!! been feeling like crap n noone around me seem to understand what im going through expect that im moody n being rude, like u said just jumpy. The worst part of it is taking the meds when uve done every test possible over n over and still they have found nothing. WHAT IF I DONT HAVE EPILEPSY?! - oh n whats even worst my doctor increased the dosage of my meds, so imagine that!!!! C.R.A.Z.Y
Re: WHAT DO YOU FEEL AFTER SEIZURES
I am also on Keppra 1000mg twice a day...BUT I really dont know if what im experiencing is just the side effect of the meds or simply the way im handling my situation! Its just all so overwhelming. i have been on other medications n to tell u the truth i dont think it has anything to do with the meds!!! (maybe im over exaggerating)...
I do feel great when i start off, but then i wonder what the hell happened. And i knoooow that i have control over it, because only then, when i get home, that i start feeling awful! easier said than done but we just HAVE to think positive! Thank you i will ask my dr about the mri. Good luck with everything.
Re: WHAT DO YOU FEEL AFTER SEIZURES
My seizures last about 30 seconds. It takes me a couple minutes to come too and realize whats going on. I am extremely exhausted and can barely move, because my muscles are sooo worn out from seizing. I lose memory of about 10 minutes before the seizure, and am also groggy on how the day went, I remember things on and off. I am too tired to do anything but sleep after an episode. And usually am still off for the rest of the night, as well as some of the next day.

I imagine few titles have put a company in such a predicament as StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty did for Blizzard. Rarely do games become hits, rarer still do they become genuine phenomenons; to have a game continuously played by hundreds of thousands of players and routinely show up on the top of sales charts year after year is almost unheard of. So how does a company approach the sequel to not only one of the most popular games of all time but one that has had a decade of refinements under its belt? Very carefully, apparently.
Some surprising changes have happened in the real-time strategy genre since Blizzard last visited it with 2003's WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne. The most surprising of all is that the genre, so popular for so long, has fallen on hard times. Developers are still trying their hand at perfecting the art of fast-paced war, but giants like Command & Conquer have been brought low while both venerable and promising new franchises Age of Empires and the Rise of series have vanished in the interim. What was once one of the most hotly contested genres has become haggard, kept alive by the odd gem like World in Conflict.
Even though the genre has faded from the spotlight, one company has continued to tweak, push, and remold it, striving to inject new life into the tried-and-true mechanics of old. Relic, the genre's current standard-bearer, has released a string of well-received games since 2003, primarily those in their flagship franchises Company of Heroes and WarHammer 40,000. Whether it's the battlegrounds of Europe or a massive derelict spaceship adrift in the warp, Relic has revitalized a genre desperately in need. And it seems as though someone at Blizzard has been paying attention.
While the hardcore StarCraft player might note the subtle differences in the intricate matrix of unit checks and balances, the average fan will take away something very different, namely Blizzard's approach to the campaign. I'm not just talking about the company's decision to focus on one faction per release, either, but in how they tell the story, with the player now given far greater access to the characters' world. For the average fan of the original, it will seem that, save for a change here and there, the actual combat is largely the same as before. But what will really grab them are the emphasis on little details and character interaction as they control rebel-turned-outlaw Jim Raynor in his quest to take down the Dominion, led by his old foe Arcturus Mengsk, and recently reinvigorated Zerg.
From a backwater planet to a battleship, players will get to explore a craft world like never before. The ship is where most of the campaign is spent, whether it's in the cantina to recruit mercenaries, check out the local news, play some tunes and games, or chat with the troops; the laboratory to allocate earned Zerg and Protoss research points to research trees; the armory to purchase unit and structure upgrades; or the bridge to get new info, accept new missions, and replay completed missions. The presentation is all very well-done, and much more involved than in Relic's offerings avatar-chatting offering, but rest assured, WarHammer has yet again inspired StarCraft.
Similar to the Dawn of War titles, missions in SCII are accepted from a handful of available assignments. Each offer rewards, be they Zerg or Protoss research points, in addition to cash. The key difference between the franchises is that the former focuses on sacrifice and the latter on variety. Dawn of War's timed missions focused on the trade-off of loot, sector progress, and area control by jumping from mission to mission before the timers run out. SCII has a similar rewards system and yet, despite the appearance of a tough choice, there is very little trade-off as the vast majority of missions are eventually played. The impact of which is chosen are minimal, since the upgrades from the credits and research points earned only really come into their own once a handful have been chosen, though there are some missions which require the player must choose between two alternatives, each offering a unique reward. The illusion of frantic planet hopping and sacrifice isn't necessarily a bad thing, as tension is suitably increased and it would be a shame to skip any of the missions since they are universally excellent. While Space Marines had to be content with a handful of mission types, the, er, Terran Space Marines will find themselves fighting off zombie-like colonists infested by Zerg, moving a base around as they mine a planet that overflows with lava, and protecting a massive beam as it bores its way into a sacred Protoss temple. Every mission was enjoyable, and I was genuinely surprised by just how much Blizzard was capable of accomplishing within a traditional mission structure. Being able to replay all of them, sans the rewards but still open for achievements, is a great inclusion and only serves to reinforce just how strong they are.
SCII especially excels in presentation and value. Instead of a discussion between portraits, Raynor and crew are fully modeled and their conversations are played out as cutscenes, giving the proceedings a more involved feel. And I stress value because many felt that the focus on one faction per release would dilute the experience, but instead, that focus has made this first outing that much stronger. It isn't just Terran missions, either, as there are also some for the other factions sprinkled throughout the campaign and in a series of challenge missions. The challenges are addictive practicing tools that double as arcade-style trials that encourage replay in order to gain a higher score. Skirmish is also open to all factions, allowing for a taste of what's to come in the sequels and, of course, to practice for online play.
Online play is also different this time around as Battle.Net has had a significant update since the original's release. For the most part, the updated service fits SCII nicely. A handy news area features info on patches, tournaments, and contests while a top panel allows for quick access to single player and multiplayer. There are also buttons offering quick access to league and ladder information, replays, and party creation. It's very compact, with most options no more than two clicks away, and sleek. A log-in page is troublesome for those whose connections go down before opting to remain checked in, but once set, unstable connections will no longer be a barrier to gaining access to the game. However, Battle.Net updates will block access, due to the heavy integration between the two, which is infrequent but undoubtedly frustrating. Another possible nuisance is the lack of LAN play, which was found in the original.
One of the reasons for the integration is that players now have identities that are carried over from single player to multiplayer. Similar to Achievements and Trophies on the 360 and PS3, SCII features awards for certain conditions killing a set amount of enemies, completing sub-objectives, etc. that go towards a universal score. There are also a number of unlockable items earned throughout the campaign, from icons to adorn the player's avatar and decals to customize in-game units. It's all very nice and filled with the small touches that Blizzard has become known for.
The biggest complaint that can be lobbed at SCII is that, in terms of mechanics, not a whole lot has changed. The periphery factions get some fun new units, such as the massive Protoss tripod Colossus (think War of the Worlds) and Zerg Infestor, which can burrow and spit out infested Terrans, that will inject new life into multiplayer. The Terrans themselves have had several tweaks and additions. One of the most surprising shifts is the lack of Firebats and Medics in multiplayer, least of which because they are in the campaign, but that soon feels normal as time is spent with the new Medivac Dropship and fire-spitting four-wheel Hellion as with most of the changes, a little time is all that's needed. The Command Center no longer functions as a weapon silo for nukes, that now being the domain of the Ghost Academy, and the Control Tower has been replaced by the Tech Lab and Fusion Core. What this means to the player largely depends on their experience with the series; diehards will have to adjust their build orders, requiring some extensive experimentation, while casual players and newcomers will just have more toys to play with. As a casual fan of the series myself, I can say that the changes have been for the better. It seems to be what most players wanted: the original updated with new visuals and contemporary controls, a few new units, and adjustments to the core that provides a familiar but fresh experience. Some gamers, especially those who have moved on to the Company of Heroes' style of tactical play, will find it anything but fresh, but for fans of the traditional style of play, there are few titles as satisfying.
Despite the decade-plus wait, a few things should've been hammered out. In true Blizzard fashion, the graphics and sound are fantastic, adorned with little touches from the satisfying buck of the Siege Tank to the reworked mix of Sweet Home Alabama that give the game so much character. In the midst of all this is a script that often teeters on being flat-out bad. The voice actors are decent, but there are times when both fail the moment and a scene intended to go for the guts lands with a thud. There were also some strange shadow meshes, though that could very well be a driver issue don't ever change, PC gaming. One unfortunate return was spotty pathfinding. Ten years on and my SCVs are still getting stuck behind Supply Depots? C'mon, guys, finish the welds on the other side the one with the wide expanse around it.
But those are very minor complaints for what SCII delivers. A rich single-player campaign filled with side missions, unit upgrades, and greater world interaction complements a solid challenge mode and addictive multiplayer. The interface offers easy access to replays, in- and out-game customization options, and a practice league for those needing a refresher (or way to minimize embarrassment). Whether the player is a returning fan or new to the series, SCII has a lot to offer.
Overall: 9/10
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a much more traditional sequel than genre fans might expect, or want. For fans of the older base building and resource harvesting style of play, this is not only an exciting release but an essential one. From a rich single-player experience that goes beyond a simple string of missions to a robust multiplayer component, there is little doubt that SCII will be staying on hard drives for a long time.

Volunteers assisting the U.S. Forest Service counted 12 bald eagles around lakes in San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
Nearly 200 volunteers participated in the count. Observers saw three adult and two juvenile bald eagles at Big Bear Lake, two adult eagles at Lake Arrowhead, one adult eagle at Lake Silverwood and two adult eagles in a nest at Lake Hemet. No eagles were found at Lake Gregory, according to the Forest Service.
Volunteers spent one hour looking for eagles. Bald eagles migrate to Southern California during the winter, joining the region's native bald eagle population.
