Many of the trends we are seeing – and liking - in retail, hospitality, services and even urban planning, deal with smaller size because a strong, growing segment of us is tired of Big.
We want small, independent, pop-up, mobile, local, rogue. But – and this is an important but – we want it served up to us in a professional manner, we do not want amateur fumbling even from the smallest providers.
In essence, we want what we cannot have from the mega-malls, big boxes, airports, big brands or grocery giants. And that leads to another important 'but'. We want small BUT we still want the big, too. Nothing new here, but it still seems that many brands, marketers and researchers have a hard time dealing with the fact that we are not black-and-white, either-or. We are both-and, plus a little extra.
You cannot divide consumer habits into age categories or behaviours the way you could a decade or two ago. We are indeed picking and choosing from each basket, and we will continue to do so, but we are choosing small significantly more often than we used to.
It is hard to imagine someone whose ideal living environment - city, town or village – would be a vast expanse of gigantic malls where global brands offer indistinguishable wares in boring lookalike stores, or where cavernous big boxes ply cheap goods stacked up floor to ceiling. Acres of parking lots; people always in cars. And actual "living" taking place separately in isolated enclaves, and working in yet another isolated location.
More and more frequently, we envision the ideal living environment as something quite similar to a traditional small town or vibrant village. Or a neighbourhood with people, services and work all within walking or biking distance.
We believe that this trend is going to get stronger and stronger, and it will be good for the businesses that understand their niche and offer their customers true value: something that is worth their money and time.
Small businesses are the essence of such neighbourhoods and towns. They are the glue that makes it all stick together. They bring people together, they create small oasis of lovely interaction.
But just like in the traditional small town, today's small businesses must try harder. From the startup on, they must earn their place in the circle. The merchants and service providers in the old towns were professionals of their trade. They knew their customers, they respected them and they worked hard at earning their trust. The same is true today.
This trend, as we said earlier, is nothing new. It has been brewing for a long time in step with our overall dissatisfaction with the big, faceless brands and their outsourced, hopelessly horrible "service." When Seth Godin wrote about the topic in 2005, we all took notice. Yet today, almost a decade later, it is still only a trend. But we believe it's time has finally come.
Big brands offer smaller
One aspect of this trend is seen in the behavior of many big brands that are opening smaller-scale stores, restaurants and hotels that are more intimate, offer a more tightly edited selection of products and services, are targeted and tailored to meet individual local markets, and usually also pay more attention to design and local tastes.
Boutique-scale businesses
We are also seeing a renaissance of boutique-scale businesses; stores, hotels, restaurants and services that do not plan to grow bigger, only better. These are often one-store or one-hotel operations that gain a dedicated, loyal client base by understanding their customers better than their bigger competitor chains.
Unfortunately, many of these become so successful that the bigger competitors want to buy them out in order to either remove them from the market or to gain some of their halo. Usually, with such buy-outs, the aura of the independent, owner-operated business disappears and the previously so loyal clientele moves on. The heart is gone from the business and the clients can see it.
Of course, another much-talked-about aspect of this trend are pop-ups. Any brand worth their reputation has opened pop-ups by now, but it is still an appealing proposition for both brands and customers. Pop-ups liven up neighbourhoods, malls and streets with new, temporary offerings. They give big and small businesses an opportunity to test markets, products and services. They give businesses a chance to benefit from temporarily empty spaces. And they liven up potentially dead storefronts.
Pop-ups will still continue although we are also seeing some fatigue as some businesses now use pop-up as their chance to have regular blow-out sales and other repeating offerings that dilute the surprise factor and excitement of pop-ups. Perhaps there will be a new, more exciting reiteration of the pop-up that will bring back the excitement?
In the manner of the ice cream truck, milk man, shoe-polish box and hot-dog stand of the past, mobile offerings are also growing around the world. From food carts and mobile cafes to bike services and mobile pet spas, new, exciting businesses are popping up as mobile carts.
Many cities have been forced to alter their laws to accommodate these temporary, mobile businesses that often do not fit under the laws created for permanent, bigger operators. We think this is all to the good. While laws and regulations are necessary, they need to become much more flexible and nimble to adapt to startups and small operators that add desirable flavor, colour, excitement and convenience to their surroundings.
Also part of the mobile, portable phenomenon, are the various dwellings, hotels and businesses housed in repurposed shipping containers. The Illy Café in New York in 2007 garnered a much attention and a multitude of reiterations of the idea now pop up daily.
One valuable consequence from striving for smaller, portable, mobile, inexpensive, sustainable pop-up is that many forms of temporary housing options, portable clinics, schools and water purification stations and so on have become not just curiosities but real solutions in far-flung places and/or difficult conditions to help in areas of catastrophe, extreme poverty and environmental crises.
As poverty has often turned out to be the mother of invention, we believe that this is one area where sometimes even the silliest-seeming ideas can actually be transformed into real relief and smart solutions where they are most needed. As we who have everything in excess "play with our food", perhaps we will in the process find ways – and the will – to relieve suffering everywhere.
We also believe that our exasperation with conspicuous consumption – that is partially expressed in our desire for everything smaller – has also helped to bring about a new kind of helping culture. We are starting to consider the consequences of all of our actions as companies, teams and individuals, rather than doing whatever it takes to momentarily satisfy our desire for the next fix for our inner emptiness, or to blindly and impotently try to meet the shareholders' relentless demand for bigger profits.
The small mobile business is tied to another aspect of this trend – locality. More and more people want to buy local, not just food but other products and services as well. And while it is difficult for a small, new operator to compete with the prices of an established, strong brand, we feel that local businesses and local initiatives will continue to grow in popularity.
What we do know as well is that whether a business is local or small, it still has to meet the needs of today's demanding clientele.
Many small operators seem to believe that just because they are passionate about their business and because they want to do it, customers somehow owe them their patronage. That is not the case today, and it never was.
We will not part with our time or money – at least not repeatedly – if we are not getting great service and great products. Being small, local or independent will carry a business only so far. A loyal customer base will not develop out of pity or shame.
Professional branding is also a given today. And that does not necessarily mean having to spend a lot in the creation of logos and package design, although it may mean those as well. What it does mean is that if you are going to succeed, you will need to be able to charge a premium price. And to charge that price, you need to look and behave like a brand that knows who it is and what it does and why it exists.
Clear messaging, cohesive visuals, well thought-through customer experience, professional staff – all of these are important. And yet, you can achieve all this without having to appear or behave like a pretentious branding exercise with a fake story and dumb logo. It is all about knowing who you are, what you offer and why your valued customers should spend their time and money with you. All the basics of business still apply.
The last aspect of the Small is the New Big trend that we'll cover in this article is what we'll call Rogue concepts. They incorporate many of the other aspects of the trend with the added appeal of a grass-roots initiative.
Concepts such as Diner en Blanc, Helsinki-born Restaurant Day, Cleaning Day are part of this.
The Rogue concepts add the empowering angle of people taking to the streets, creating their own "brands", doing it their way, breaking the rules.
This, perhaps more than any of the other aspects, speaks to the true core of the entire trend. We are tired of giving our power – and time and money – to the Big Brand. There's an undercurrent of sophisticated protest. Call it idle nonsense of the well-heeled, if you like, but we think it is part of a serious undercurrent. The world of Wall-E is not quite as absurd as we'd perhaps like to think and the power to change it is in our hands. - Tuija Seipell.

Francoise Nielly's massive, colourful portraits are delicious to look at. Even more wonderful – and particularly infuriating to those of us who have timidly dabbled in painting – is to watch her create them. She, in her confident, strong hand, wields her painting knife shaped like a miniature garden trowel, and makes painting look easy like cake frosting.
She paints her vivid, passionate canvases — some as large as 78 x 25 inches (195 x 62 centimeters) -- from black-and-white photos, further proof of her unfailing ability to interpret light, shadow, hue and tone by applying brilliant colours and daring strokes.
Born in Marseille, brought up near Cannes and Saint-Tropez, and now living in Paris, Nielly is at home among bold contrast and dazzling light. To add to her likeability, here is the list of her loves: Life, wide open spaces, sushi, blue lagoons, the Internet, humor, books, Paris, New York and Vancouver.
Six of her prints are available exclusively through TCH online store - 1000mm x 1000ml & 1200mm x 1200 metallic print on acrylic.
Architect and designer Helle Flou, founder of Copenhagen-based HelleFlou, was responsible for the design of the offices for the Danish Fashion and Textile association (Dansk Mode og Textil) and Kopenhagen Fur.
The offices are located in the fabulous 1835-built, heritage-listed A.N.Hansen mansion at the corner of Fredericiagade and Bredgade in the Fredriksstaden neighbourhood of central Copenhagen.
The move together of the two organizations established a anew home and innovation centre for their cooperative effort called KicK initiative(Kopenhagen Internationle Center for Kreativitet). KiCK's focus is on collaboration between the European and Chinese fashion industry.
Flou's design reflects the idea of a "Nordic Diamond." In an interview, Flou was quoted as saying that she was inspired by ". . . the Nordic nature and a special Scandinavian light that gives a strong sense of history, atmosphere and experience. . . The diamond is hardy, but at the same time extremely elegant; with its beautiful facets it creates rigorous order and transparency at the same time. The two elements have jointly created the guidelines for a balanced and harmonious space."
We agree. The neo-classical frame of the building is evident in the staircases, doorways and gold-painted accents and friezes. Contemporary and classic Danish designer furniture and fixtures fit seamlessly in the black & white, gold & gray colour scheme, and also help establish a level of easy and cool comfort. Natural light finishes off the harmonious, spacious design. - Tuija Seipell
Working in a shared space - in a café or a rented-by-the-hour office - is nothing new, but sometimes a concept pops up that is worth a second look. Now into its third week of life, Joint Café + Workspace in Bangkok stands
out in its whiteness.
We will not speculate on what it will look like after a few months of coffee spills and foot traffic, but for now, it appears inviting like a new notebook, all ready to be filled with people, ideas and inspiration. The space, designed by Thailand's 56th Studio, is located on the 12th floor of the Asia Hotel's car park building.
The space is flexible and can be rented in various configurations for workshops, lessons or meetings. Joint Café + Workspace looks more like an office and less like a café, which may make it a unique proposition in that it will not become a coffee shop where people hang out for hours working on their laptops and tablets over one cup of coffee. - Tuija Seipell.
We are now officially suffering from office envy and the object of our feelings is located in Poland, in a former cable factory in Zabłocie, a post-industrial district in Kraków. It was designed for the web technology consulting firm u2i by architect and urban planner Justyna Friedberg of Kraków-based Morpho Studio.
The obvious breathing room – so often lacking in offices – is clearly evident here. White, ash wood, natural light. Somehow we can imagine thoughts flying freer in a space like this, with this much openness and light.
The real gem of the 800 square-meter (8,611 sq.ft.) office, and the part we covet the most, is the central indoor porch, or chill zone, with its swing and potted plants. A simple, fresh idea, beautifully executed.
We suspect that herbs and favourite flowers will be grown here by the team, and that it will turn out to be not just a passive space with the surroundings fitted and provided by someone else, but that it actually will live as a real porch or garden where people can putter around and exercise their green thumbs. Or just chill in the swing.
With this open porch, the basic, large, rectangular space has become more of an environment and less of a set of offices. And what we like most is that the porch does not have the omnipresent sad pool tables or soft-drink dispensers that still seem to denote "cool office" to some. - Tuija Seipell.
Flamingo Shanghai's swanky new office, The Attic, is a grand example of how the intelligent use of scale and natural light, and the minimalist approach to materials can create cohesive unity that looks both fresh and imbued with patina.
Shanghai-based Neri&Hu effected their special brand of design philosophy on this cavernous industrial 620 square-meter (6673 sq.ft.) attic, and created a dark-hued and angular open-concept office for the creative agency. The attic includes offices, conference space, exhibit space, observation areas, quiet room and kitchen.
The hard materials and cold surfaces project efficiency and focus. We assume that the natural light through the large skylight windows, together with the presence of people, will balance those aspects with softness and creative life energy.
Husband-and-wife duo, Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu established their own design and architecture practice Neri&Hu in Shanghai in 2004 after having moved to China two years earlier to work with Michael Graves. The Philippines-born Neri (b. 1965) has architecture degrees from Harvard and the University of California at Berkeley. Taiwan-born Hu (b. 1968) was trained at Princeton. - Tuija Seipell.
Swedish restaurateurs Magnus Ek and Agneta Green started their entrepreneurial careers in 1994 as they rented the small Oaxen Skärgårdskrog restaurant in Stockholm's archipelago. They taught themselves the ins and outs of wine, food and fresh ingredients, eventually bought the restaurant and started to gain a steady reputation.
But the Swedish winters being what they are, the archipelago location was open only part of the year. Forward the clock from that to last year, and the grand opening of Oaxen Krog & Slip, their brand new corrugated-metal framed and so beautifully aged twin establishments, right at the old shipyards on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm's city centre.
Designed and lovingly outfitted with repurposed, antique and retro furnishings and materials by architect Mats Fahlander and architect-designer Agneta Pettersson, the restaurants have already gained several prestigious Swedish awards in business, design and food categories.
These include Stockholm's Restaurant of the Year 2014 recognition for Slip by the Swedish city entertainment guide Nöjesguiden, and Oaxen Krog's awarded of Business Restaurant of the Year 2014 by the financial newspaper Dagens Industri. Oaxen Krog has already one Michelin star and Slip has won the Michelin Bib Gourmand-award.
Krog is more of a dining room and Slip a bistro. Our absolute favourites in Slip are the lovely finds dating back to fairly recent Swedish history – the wooden 1905-built craft in the ceiling and the single scull from 1920s. The old Swedish school desks, theatre-seating and repurposed tableware create a uniquely welcoming and familiar feeling.
Oaxen Krog is a bit more formal but seats only 35 and therefore retains an intimate atmosphere. Slatted oak covers the walls and ceiling , and the chairs dating back to the 1950 but still in production by the Swedish Wigells surround the tables custom-crafted by shipyard carpenters. As e the smart city set dines on organic fare, we think we can hear some Swedish Old Salty in his blond beard and blue eyes singing a melancholy song or two about the rough-but-oh-so-wholesome life on the cold shores of Sweden. - Tuija Seipell.
Over the past seven years, at our creative agency, Access, we have worked with a number of residential and commercial property developers from Abu Dhabi to Sydney, helping them with development and strategy.
Yet we see so often the sad sight of yet another mediocre building going up. We see city councils approving mediocre design and we see cities looking uglier because of it. We see property developers rushing to get their building up, wanting to make a quick sale and profit, and not really caring or thinking about the aesthetics of the building.
Does the building enhance the surrounding area or make it worse? Will the building still look great 10, 15 or 20 years from now? Will it become an iconic landmark and a beloved site, or will it become a dated gimmick?
What will the resale value be down the track? Will anyone want to live in or buy property like it?
Property developers — and city councils — need to wake up and realize their influence on the cityscape and take that role seriously. This is the case not just for residential development — the same applies to office buildings, hotels and all public buildings in general.
As a developer and as a city council, do you want to be known as an organization that values and understands design and creates iconic developments? Or will you be known as the ones who created eyesores, or worse, caused a devaluation of an entire area or neighborhood?
The aesthetic of a building should be the Number One priority. There is not much point in creating and promoting beautiful interiors when the exterior tells a different story. The whole building should tell a cohesive story.
So many developers do not see the value, or even think about the aesthetics of the car park, for example. Would it hurt to splash some colour and graphic design on the concrete? Would it hurt to make the lifts and foyer more like those of a great hotel and less like a jail or a warehouse?
What amenities does the building provide? Is there a café, a library, a car wash? Engage us and wow us to the point that we cannot wait to sign on the bottom line! Excite us enough that when you go to market, so much buzz has been created that the units sell in 24 hours and at the price you asked for.
If a building is desirable and unique, and offers something truly beautiful, trust us, consumers WILL buy. It's a no brainer, yet so many buildings keep going up that do the absolute minimum. They may tick off a few boxes and get the interior right, but not the rest. It's not enough.
Every day, I am inundated with material from PR people and developers about new projects. Literally hundreds of submissions a day. So, over the past seven years, I have seen everything. And believe me, so have consumers.
Your potential buyers, the couples and the mums and dads and even grandparents are design conscious these days. The internet has opened everyone's eyes to what is possible. People browse sites all over the globe, they learn, they engage in design. Design is no longer a closed shop. It is everyone's.
Kids growing up now understand that design plays a crucial role in everything they consume, from the car they buy to the clothes they wear, to the headphones they listen to, to the cookware they cook, to the hotels they stay.
My advice to developers and city councils: Save yourself a lot of money, time and headache, and get it right the first time! Take design seriously now and you will be glad you did. - Bill Tikos
We just had to include this little, happy-looking Mediterranean take-away restaurant on TCH today. The reason? It just made us smile. Of course, there are also the clear colors and the use of wood – both features we tend to like.
Valencia, Spain-based Masquespacio completed the interior design and branding for the 40 square-meter (430 sq.ft.) Kessalao located in Bonn, Germany.
Led by creative director Ana Milena Hernández Palacios, the Masquespacio team used a drop of olive oil as the key for the brand's logo, and combined the German word "Kess" and the Spanish word "salao", both apparently referring to a cool, amusing boy. We know salao as "salty" and "unlucky" from Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea, but it seems the word has a much happier tone in mainland Spain.
Pine furnishings, birch veneer paneling and raffia add both softness and Mediterranean natural elements to the space. To maximize the use of the tiny space, the raffia covering the tall stools hangs down underneath to provide space for coats and handbags.
Kessalao is Masquespacio's first project outside Spain. - Tuija Seipell

Full name Thomas Neill Pearce
Born November 3, 1905, Stoke Newington, London
Died April 11, 1994, East Worthing, Sussex (aged 88 years 159 days)
Major teams Essex
Batting style Right-hand bat
Bowling style Right-arm medium
|First-class span
|1929 - 1950
Tom Pearce, OBE, TD, who died on April 10, at the age of 88, was a pillar of Essex cricket for most of his life. Solid batsman, captain firstly on a joint basis and then solely between 1933 and 1950, acting secretary, chairman of the club for 21 years, then president for the past quarter-century, and Test selector 1949-50, he led a full cricketing life, and was very highly respected. Thomas Neill Pearce scored 12,061 runs at 34.26, and made 22 centuries. David Bennett interviewed him only a few weeks before his death:
Tom Pearce remembered when the ground in New Street, Chelmsford was a field. With the help of an interest-free £15,000 loan from Warwickshire CCC Supporters' Association, which was repaid, Essex purchased the ground from Chelmsford CC in 1967.
'It was always our ambition to have a ground of our own, and for many years we were rather a wandering club. Even when Trevor Bailey was captain and secretary our headquarters was an office behind a shop in Chelmsford, Pearce recalled.
At the end of his playing career Pearce served as a Test selector. He was also manager of the MCC tour of India, Pakistan and Ceylon in 1961-62.
Outside Essex, Pearce was a well-known figure at Scarborough, where his own XI's match against the tourists was a regular fixture on the festival calendar from 1951-76.
In Rugby Union circles he was a topclass referee, and officiated in 10 internationals. He remained an avid follower of the London club Old Blues. Their former ground near Ilford was also used for practice by Essex's cricketers when they abandoned their headquarters at Leyton in 1934.
'Looking back on it I'm sure that's when Essex started growing up, and the way they've done it has been fantastic.
'Leyton had the distinction of being the only ground in Essex where I had a net. I was never a great one for nets, Pearce admitted, 'as I've always believed that there's nothing which can better half-anhour in the middle.'
Essex cricket was always Pearce's first love. He drove to one day of Essex's Championship matches at Chelmsford from his Worthing home, where he lived from 1978, and always watched their away matches against Sussex in his later years.
'It's a very different game today, as in my day there were characters like Alex Skelding and Tom Mitchell. On away matches we amateurs would always talk cricket with the professionals after stumps. The pros then were terrific chaps, and they always wanted to know how they could improve their game. Now it seems that today's pro is only interested in how much money he can make. 'I always liked going to Trent Bridge,because I'd see Bill Sheridan from Gunn & Moore. He would always pick out some longhandled bats and offer me two for 37/6 (£1.87)!
'The other thing that is so different is that in those days cricket-writers would write about the cricket. Papers would never send about five people to cover a tour as the Telegraph seem to be doing at the moment. I suppose the first inkling of change was when the Press made far more fuss about Len Hutton bruising his toe in the swimming-pool than a century he scored during an MCC tour of South Africa.'
Appropriately, Pearce made his Essex debut against Sussex - whom he had watched during his schooldays at Christ's Hospital - at Leyton in 1929. On that occasion he opened the batting, but No. 6 was to become his more familiar place in the order. Pearce's selection was earned as a result of his prolific scoring for the Private Banks in club cricket, at a time when Essex relied heavily on amateurs.
'Essex only had a few professionals then, which is why they were always on the lookout for amateurs. My debut was great fun, as I hadn't met any of the team before. What I particularly remember was sharing the amateur dressing-room with Morris, Davey, the Gilligan brothers and Duleepsinhji; Pearce said.
Two years later Pearce scored 152 against Lancashire at Clacton, adding 271 for the fourth wicket with Jack O'Connor. 'It was a terrific innings; Pearce explained, ,as it was the first time I had faced a topclass spinner, in R. K. Tyldesley. What was incredible about it was that I went out thinking I'd do well to get 20, but I just kept playing forward, and whenever the ball hit my pads I was almost deafened by Duckworth's appeals.'
That year Pearce ended his banking career and began working in the wine trade. This increased his availability for Essex, and in 1933 he was appointed jointcaptain with Denys Wilcox. 'It worked very well, Pearce said, 'as I could only play for the first half of the season. Denys was a schoolmaster and was able to take over the captaincy for July and August. We were a useful side: our batting revolved round Pope, O'Connor and Nichols, while our attack included Peter Smith and Ken Farnes.'
Under Pearce and Wilcox Essex jumped from 13th to fourth in the Championship in 1933, when they won a record 13 matches. The 1934 Wisden says that Pearce captained with tactical judgment and enjoyed no little success as a batsman.
His third season in charge will be remembered for Essex's victories over the South Africans, defending champions Lancashire, and Yorkshire, who took the title from their arch-rivals. Pearce showed his liking for the Lancashire attack by scoring 105 while his wife was having an operation. In the next match he scored 132 and 54 not out at Northampton, and finished his season with an aggregate of 865 runs (32.03).
During the war Pearce played for his Regiment. A change of job in the wine trade after hostilities ended enabled him to become Essex's fulltime captain until his retirement in 1950. He exceeded 1000 runs for the season three times, and started 1946 with an unbeaten 166 against Somerset at Taunton. His innings started when Essex, needing 385 to win, were 77 for 4. Ray Smith kept him excellent company in an eighth-wicket stand of 133, which helped see them to a memorable win.
'It was very hard work, as I hadn't played much cricket during the war and was a bit rusty. Even though I'd been refereeing regularly during the winter I did feel rather stiff afterwards, Pearce commented.
He enjoyed his most prolific season in 1948, when his 1487 runs (49.56) included an unbeaten 211 against Leicestershire at Westcliff. 'I went in when we were 70 for 4 and looked like getting a good hiding. Reading Jack Walsh's googly was very difficult, and he was almost driven mad by the number of times he beat me, Pearce recalled.
Another memory of that season was when Essex were on the wrong end of a mauling by the Australians, who scored 721 runs in a day at Southend. 'There was nothing we could do as it was a perfect batting wicket. They started by scoring 120 runs in the first hour. We didn't have much bowling and weren't helped by Bailey breaking down.'
His long association with the Scarborough Festival started in 1948, when he began picking H. D. G. Leveson Gower's team to play the tourists. Pearce took over the fixture when Leveson Gower became the Festival's president. 'There was never any difficulty in picking a team, as everyone wanted to play. It always used to be a terrific occasion, as the Festival attracted huge crowds; he recalled.
'I'm more than sorry that Keith Fletcher has left Essex, because he was the best of the six post-war captains Essex have had. His departure will be a tremendous loss, he reflected.

Another Volatile Day on Wall Street
New York, NY —
It was another volatile day on the stock market, with the Dow Industrial Average closing a half hour ago down 29 points, or 0.3 percent. The NASDAQ composite index increased 2.35, or 0.1 percent, to 2,155.68, led by a rally in chipmakers.
In Washington, DC, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers the U.S. economy is faltering with global financial markets under - quote - extraordinary stress. New York is right in the middle of the turmoil.
Joining me to talk about how this is shaking out in terms of city spending is WNYC's Bob Hennelly.

Good Budget hotel
Good hotel for the price. Helpful staff. In a great location (near the vaporetto stop side of the Rialton).
Good location
If your looking for location this is ideal. It is literally 5 min walk to St Marc's square and 2 mins to Rialto bridge thats if you take the shortcuts. Had a good view room. Service was good and breakfast was included. I would defintely recommend this hotel to anyone.
Centauro Hotel
Excellent hotel newly refurbished. Good buffet breakfast. Only drawback would be if you are on top floor as there is no lift making it difficult for elderly or family with young children.
Hotel Centauro
My husband and I absolutely loved our room at Hotel Centauro! We had a room on the third floor, with a fantastic view of a canal. We loved seeing the gondolas passing by. It was a great location in relation to St. Mark's Square, Rialto, and many other sites. The breakfast was great as well! Overall, we had a fantastic experience!!
Charming centauro
A charming, friendly hotel, wonderfully located a short walk from Rialto vaporetto stop - helpful and friendly staff - outside room with canal views desirable - small but comfortable - charming dining room with buffet breakfasts - short walk to everywhere - ideally situated. Would definitely return here and would recommend it most highly for a moderately priced hotel - if you are looking for luxury class accommodation this hotel is not for you but if it is charm and typical Venetian atmosphere then you cannot go past Hotel Centauro.

The Doge was the elected leader of the Republic of Venice and served for life (120 in all). We followed our guide to ...
Venice was one of the most beautiful places I've been. Just outside the border of the city there are many ships that are built with large cranes. We entered the city by taking a private boat. Once we arrived we all realized how busy it was within the city. The area is overcrowded with tourists and everything is a bit more expensive. We made our way to the glass blowing museum where we got a demonstration and had the ability to watch them make glass fixtures which is what Venice ...
Enchanted by Venice
... pretty good at sharing and tasting multiple options. They brought bread and I had some wine. House wine in Italy is not much more than a Coke Light and it tasted better, so what the heck, maybe I would have wine for lunch and dinner.
The wine was good and the pizza and gnocchi were also very good. We had chosen well and we liked the location. We were even able to get on line for a bit. Lots of restaurants offer free Wi-Fi as a way to attract people ...

... and had our little lunch enjoying the beautiful sunshine and the view, how relaxing.
We enjoyed our pass on the vaporetto to head back to our place to relax for awhile before a dinner at a local pizza place. We then finished the day having wine and cappuccino on the San Marco Square one more time. Expensive yes but also very relaxing and enjoyable. It is expensive at the cafe's on the square it is lovely just sitting there listening to the music and watching the people with ...

Spire introduces round-the-clock personal activity tracker
Wearable device monitors breathing and movement
The new Spire is a motion-sensitive tracker that monitors physical movement, body position and breathing. By measuring breathing patterns and body movement, the tracker also is able to provide feedback on the user's state of mind.
Consisting of two main parts – a "stone" and clasp – the Spire device is hypoallergenic a wearable clip, constructed from surgical grade stainless steel and measures 14 mm wide, 44 mm long, and 3 mm thick. The device's stone-shaped core houses a battery, a wireless charging mechanism and a sensor and radio suite. In order to work, the stone must be facing the user's body.
The Spire can be attached to pants, shorts or undergarments and is connected to a smartphone app to provide immediate feedback, the company said.

2:1–22 Although this instruction lacks the usual imperatives, the emphatic force is indicated by the subject matter—wisdom that delivers from death. The consequences of accepting wisdom are knowing God and the blessings of life (vv. 5, 9, 21). The two aspects of wisdom—divine gift and human task—are clearly seen (e.g., vv. 4, 6).

Fancy footwork
Well, the 2004 campaign is going to be about somebody, apparently.
Fox News' Chris Wallace and Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe had this exchange yesterday:
"The very respected National Journal came out with its vote ratings for the year 2003 and it found that John Kerry was the most liberal senator in the U.S. Senate," Mr. Wallace pointed out. "In fact, it found that on economic policy issues, he had a perfect liberal voting record. Fair to say that John Kerry is a liberal?"
"Well, this campaign is not going to be about different types of liberal, conservative. I don't want this campaign to be fought about labels," Mr. McAuliffe replied, explaining the election was "going to be about George Bush."
Mr. Wallace persisted, however.
"But, Mr. McAuliffe, what about this question about the fact that he has this liberal voting record?" he asked.
"Chris, this is what the campaign's going to be about," Mr. McAuliffe replied. "If John Kerry is the nominee, this is what the campaign will be all about."
Flagging interest
The campaign could also be about gaffes.
Some 400 members of the 3-week-old, North Carolina-based Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry staged a protest march Saturday at the Massachusetts Democrat's office in Manhattan, they noted in an e-mail to The Washington Times yesterday.
The sharp-eyed vets noted Mr. Kerry was displaying the American flag backwards in the office window.
"A candidate who claims he 'knows something about aircraft carriers for real' never learned proper flag etiquette and has the flag displayed vertically with the blue field on the right, the wrong side. But then again, John Kerry has picked the wrong side before," they observed.

•originally published 01/19/2012 AT 6:50 AM ET
Despite offers from clubs around the world, David Beckham isn't leaving – the soccer superstar has signed a deal to extend his contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy for another two years, the Major League Soccer team announced Wednesday.
"I've seen firsthand how popular soccer is now in the States, and I'm as committed as ever to growing the game here," Beckham, 36, said about the deal in a statement on his team's website.
While details of his new contract were not released, published reports say it added up to $15 million, decidedly less than the 18-month, $18.7-million deal the wealthy Qatari owners of French club Paris-St. Germain were willing to offer – but, Beckham also said, his wife Victoria and their three sons and a daughter played a deciding factor to remain in Southern California.
"This was an important decision for me," Beckham said in his statement. "My family and I are incredibly happy and settled in America."

His love for the scene resulted in him producing his own mixes and soon he was playing gigs in cities around Italy. His move to the fashion capital of Milano, with its crazy events and the insane night-life, saw him playing at many house parties, embracing more progressive house vibe. Now it's time for Scandinavia to hear Matthew Mux's up-to-date and fresh selection of tracks. Moving forward with the genre of Progressive House, his playlist regularly consists of great artists such as Tommy Trash, Swedish House Mafia, Alesso, Dyro, Hardwell and many more.
