'Ramsey was a very intelligent defenseman with a great understanding of the game. He was always in great position and always made a solid play and clearing the zone dependably. He also was an honest physical player – very tough in front of his net and a good open ice hitter. He was also recognized as one of the game's best shot blockers. His work ethic, dependability, and importance to the team made him a natural choice to serve as the Sabres captain after Mike Foligno's departure in 1990.'

Sabre Legends: Mike Ramsey
Golisano still holding out hope for season
'Golisano also revealed he hasn't spoken to any of his 29 league counterparts, including Boston Bruins owner and Western New Yorker Jeremy Jacobs, since Bettman announced the lockout Sept. 14.'
In the Locker Room with… Ryan Miller
'When I first started in the organization, I began just flying around trying to make saves and didn't get the opportunity to round out my game by playing a lot. Now, I am not really doing things differently, I'm just learning a game I was trying to change things with. A lot of positioning, mental approaches and making changes that you have to work into. Hopefully, those adjustments will become second nature by the end of the season.
Filling the hockey void
'No longer optimistic that this season can be saved, Jeanneret exercised his vocal chords in the recent Amerks game at HSBC Arena and a charity game organized by ex-Sabre Pat LaFontaine. He's also done commercial voiceover work on ads for J.W. Danforth Heating and Air Conditioning and Atlantic Fish Co. So instead of hearing Jeanneret's trademark description of a Sabres goal that goes "top shelf, where Mama hides the cookies," radio listeners are more likely to hear him say "If you like fish…"'
Sabres scout Darryl Plandowski on the team's prospects at the WJC
'HF: Overall, are you satisfied about the prospects in the Sabres organization?
DP: Overall, we are happy with the talent level in our organization. I guess one of area concern right now is the defensemen. We have only one defenseman here and four forwards. I think that going forward we would not pass a forward that we really like, but we had liked to add some defensemen to our group of guys.'
Wideman carving out pro career
'"Signing here was the best thing for me to do. What I went through the last year or two, trying to get things straightened out with Buffalo, not knowing what's going on and waiting until halfway through the summer to sign here. . . . Here, they've given me every opportunity plus some."'
Disgruntled hockey fan finds outlet for frustration
'A disgruntled hockey fan is taking his frustration over the NHL lockout to the streets.'
Three Sabres Speak About The Lockout
'J.P. Dumont realizes he could lose over two million dollars, but he says others have sacrificed for him in labor disagreements and now it's his turn. He also feels that the owners haven't told the players all their sources of income. He pointed to the fact the all won't open their books.'
Amerks rookie shoots to thrill
'On many nights for the first three months, he skated a regular shift only a couple times a period. "That's part of the learning process for most rookies," said Paille, who was selected 20th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2002 NHL draft. "You have to learn from it, you have to learn from the older guys."'
All Sports Banquet adds ex-Sabre Rob Ray
'Former Buffalo Sabres forward Rob Ray, who amassed more than 3,000 penalty minutes over 15 NHL seasons, will speak at the Elmira-Corning All Sports Banquet in February.'
Hires, Promotions & Honors
'Waterford Investors appointed Darryl Shannon vice president of private banking for its new bank to be located in Clarence. A former player for 16 seasons in the National Hockey League, Shannon was part of the NHL's Stanley Cup Finalist Buffalo Sabres team in the 1998-99 season.'
End is near for Empire network
'If Pollack doesn't come back with a stronger bid and Empire folds, Adelphia is expected to make a deal with another regional network, most likely MSG, to carry the Sabres games for the final two years of its $8.5 million annual right fees deal. After that contract ends, the Sabres would have to negotiate a new deal that is unlikely to be as lucrative.'
Hard work paying off for Amerks' Gaustad
'"My coach and my agent both told me that I had a decent shot to be a late pick. On draft day, I remember just staring at the computer and watching each pick and round go by. It was very difficult to do, but Buffalo took a chance on me with the 220th pick in the seventh round, a lot earlier than I thought. I knew a few minutes later that the work was only beginning."'
Boughner Says Players Ready To Sit For 2 Years
'"We hope it never gets to that" Boughner said. "The last proposal from the NHL was like a slap in the face after what the players had done in an attempt to help. He's(Gary Bettman) actually made it very, very easy for players to be united and strong. I may never play a game again but its principle, its something we believe in. We believe in a free market system and we know we are right."'
No fluff from Sabres' Ruff
'I'm wary of that "longest-tenure" stuff. It paints a big bright target on you, knowing sooner or later you're next in line for the firing squad. Darcy and I have gone through a lot, a couple of bankruptcies and ownership changes. Through it all, we've learned some things that helped both our careers. We've had some pretty special players play here and they deserve a lot of credit. This team has always had real good character throughout the roster.'

Hot or Not? Dakota Fanning Goes from Blonde to Brunette
Dakota Fanning debuted new brunette locks over the weekend. Love it or hate, Bettys?
-Lucia Peters
Though both Dakota Fanning and her younger sister, Elle, are known for their shiny blonde locks, Dakota is no stranger to switching up her hair color—and hey, look! She's gone brunette!
Dakota debuted her new shade on Instagram a few days ago along with the message, "Well, look who turned into a brunette!" Since she's currently a student at NYU, we can probably assume that the pic was snapped somewhere in New York City.
This isn't the first time we've ever seen her with a chestnut-colored man; she went way, way dark for the 2005 thriller Hide and Seek. She was about 11 years old at the time, though, so this is the first time we've seen the look on her as an adult.
Read Krysten Ritter + More Get in the Halloween Spirit With Orange + Black Ensembles!
So: What do you think, Bettys? Do you love Dakota's new hair color, or should she stick to blonde? I'm not wild about it, but I love the whole classic college student vibe she has going on here with the big comfy scarf (it's been getting cold here lately) and the specs perched on her head. Hoorah for higher education!
Dakota, by the way, doesn't have a Twitter account; she mentioned back in April that "it's just not for me." As she put it, "I really don't need to let people know where I am and what I'm doing. I feel like a lot of people want their privacy but yet they tell people where they are…. I don't have a Facebook or Twitter and I won't ever. There's plenty of imposters out there. There's enough Dakota Fannings on Twitter for all of us." Good to know that we can add her to our list of awesome celeb Instagram users, though!
Tell us: Love Dakota's new look or hate it?

Chemistry - Research Opportunities
What really sets Clarkson and this program apart from other programs is our emphasis on learning by doing. Students are actively involved in the research labs at Clarkson, but large numbers also take summer internships off campus at such places as the Trudeau Institute in nearby Saranac Lake. Many of the undergraduates take part in faculty-directed research projects. Invariably our alumni tell us that time spent with the faculty in research turns out to be the most important learning experience of their college career.
Faculty in the Chemistry Program work closely with undergraduates, and students have the opportunity to become involved in research projects throughout the school year and during the summer. Examples of recent undergraduate research projects include:
- Gwen Burkey, Chemistry & Biomolecular Science '12: Development of Au-Ag Core-Shell Nanoparticles for Utilization in Chemical Catalysis and Biosensing
- Maxim Chepenuk, Biomolecular Science '11: NMR Evaluation of Pi-Complexes of Environmental Toxins
- Olivia Durham, Chemistry '11: Oxidation of Waste Printing Inks Allowing Environmental Disposal
- Stephen Graham, Chemical Engineering and Chemistry Minor '11: Development and Modification of Compounds for Utilization in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Chemical Catalysis

As flip flops go these are nice ones. The part between the toe and over the foot is fabric so being white may get very dirty but new they look good. They are the most comfortable ones I've ever had.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

LOVE them
By Patsouth
from Waynesboro GA
I have severe pronation in my feet and ankles, to the point that I tore my posterior tibial tendon and have been a lot of pain and wearing an ankle brace trying to avoid surgery.( do not have time to be off my feet for 6-8 wks and no driving for 8-10 wks) I found these by a miracle and I've only had them a few weeks, but man what a differance. I LOVE them and plan too order some more.
Love them!
By Susan
from Wilmington, NC
See all my reviews
Between these and the similar clogs, my heel pain is finally practically gone! The support these give is great, making it possible to "indulge" in flip flops more often without pain & suffering afterwards. They are great casual wear plus a nice alternative to pain-inducing going barefoot. I wear them every day!
They Work!
By Meg
from Menlo Park, CA
I would make the strap between the toes softer as it is uncomfortable. I am getting the orthododics to put in my own shoes. The shape of the heel is very comfortable and helped my pain right away.
Flip Flop of Choice
By Carol from Floral Park
from Floral Park,NY
I have other flip flops but since I have plantar faciitis these are the only ones comfortable enough to wear.
Awesome footwear for flat feet!
By Jane
from Batavia, Ohio
I had a case of plantar Fasciitis about 6 years ago. This coupled with my flat feet prohibited me from wearing any type of sandal. I was so sad when going to the beach and out in the summer evenings, having to wear actual shoes while others wore cute sandals. So I saw these in the [@], on an airplane. I thought I would try them. Now I own a white, black and tan pair and I wear them everywhere, even when walking great distances. My knees and feet have never been so supported!
Love 'em!
By DGT
from Clermont, Florida
They are very comfortable, particularly with the arch support. With the construction, I expect they will last a very long time.

MWL notes: Goeddel happy atop lineup
Hot Rods speedster flexible in the field and the batting order
By Curt Rallo / Special to MLB.com | May 2, 2013 7:13 AM ET
It doesn't matter to Bowling Green's Tyler Goeddel if he's snaring a vicious liner at third base or backhanding a ball deep at short. As long as he's on the field, the Rays' 2012 first-round Draft pick will be happy.
Goeddel has been splitting his time between shortstop and third base this season. It's a split he hopes to continue as he advances in the Rays organization.
"I like playing shortstop," said Goeddel, a 6-foot-4, 186-pound right-handed hitter. "I really don't have a preference. I feel like I can play both positions, and I'm comfortable playing both positions. I'm trying to show the Rays that I can play both positions. Hopefully, that will mean more playing time.
"The Rays are an organization known for versatile players. Ben Zobrist plays just about every position. I feel that if I can play two positions, it will give me a better chance to move up in the organization. It's a challenge, but I feel that I'm prepared for the challenge."
Bowling Green manager Jared Sandberg said Goeddel is able to easily transition between the two positions.
"Tyler was drafted as a shortstop," Sandberg said. "This year, we've had him play shortstop and third. This is a kid with tremendous ability. He's extremely athletic and has great tools. The important thing is he needs to get the at-bats, but as far as the position he plays, there hasn't been a decision. Nothing has been ruled out."
A native of Hillsborough, Calif., Goeddel turned down a scholarship to UCLA and signed with the Rays for $1.5 million. He hit .246 last season, locked into the No. 9 spot in the lineup. This season, he's hitting .286, but has been picking up steam -- he's belted out eight hits in 15 at-bats in his last 10 games (.533) and scored nine runs.
"Last year I was one of the youngest players in the league," said Goeddel, who turned 20 in October. "I batted ninth because the organization felt that there would be no pressure on me. This year, I really love batting at the top of the order. I get more at-bats. I'm comfortable batting first, second, third -- my job is to get on base and score. I feel batting in the top of the lineup plays to my strengths."
Goeddel said that a couple of adjustments have sparked his recent surge.
"I struggled at the start of the season," Goeddel said. "The Rays' [Minor League] hitting instructor, Matt Quatraro, noticed a couple of things with my swing. We made a couple of adjustments, and it's going really well. I closed my stance, and that's made it easier to see pitches. I've been able to put together some consistent at-bats."
According to Sandberg, Goeddel is as versatile at the plate as he is in the field.
"Tyler deserves to hit in the 1-2-3-4 spots," Sandberg said. "He has power to all fields, and he can run. He can handle hitting in all four spots at the top of the lineup. Everything is magnified early on, but we all know Tyler can hit. He's proven that his last 40-some at-bats -- he's really put up some good numbers and stolen some bases.
"Tyler has great ability and he's mature beyond his years," Sanbberg added. "He has all the right qualities to be a Major League player. He has the talent, the mental make-up, and the work ethic to do that, but he knows he has to pay his dues."
In brief
Lost slam: Pinch-hitter Travis Harrison of Cedar Rapids blasted a shot over the left-field wall with the bases loaded in the 11th inning on April 27, but it was scored as a one-run single in the scorebook. Two of the runners on base when Harrison launched his game-winning blast got caught up in the celebration and never touched home plate, which ended up costing Harrison his slam and three RBIs in the Kernels' 8-7 over Great Lakes.
Financing the Chiefs: The City of Peoria will pay about $1.2 million over an eight-year period to keep Minor League Baseball in the central Illinois city. A package that reached about $7.35 million, which includes private money, was worked out Tuesday night. Caterpillar is slated to purchase the stadium naming rights for $2 million over a 10-year period.
Triple play: Quad Cities turned a triple play in a loss to Great Lakes on Sunday, marking the first such feat for the River Bandits in six seasons. Bandits third baseman Rio Ruiz fielded a grounder by Dashenko Ricardo and forced Corey Seager at third before second baseman Austin Elkins took the throw from Ruiz at second to force Jeremy Rathjen, and then Elkins fired the ball to Miles Hamblin for the out at first on Ricardo.

If earth is 6000 years old and man (except maybe Bill O'Rielly) started to understand the moon and stars about 800 years ago can any theist explain the impact craters on the moon? If we have been observing the moon for the last 800 or so years meteor impacts should be recorded somewhere by someone,or the real explanation the earth and moon have been around for millions of years.
Seriously though... What would happen if the Great Green Arkleseizure didn't fram up the rammastam before the hermite curve achieved maximum nurdfurdle velocity? Now THAT would be something. AmIrite?
can any theist explain the impact craters on the moon?

text: A few notes. I have seen the MG label from time to time, often for MTM stuff. Don't know where it's sold at retail. MG is like any other manufacturer, and can make within a wide range of specs -- how much hand tailoring, for instance. Re sizing: a lot of standard tailored clothing in this country is sized big enough to fit, or cover, just about everybody. a size 40 will have a 44" chest, for ex. More fashiony brands will have a measure of 42" or even 40". The Gilt designer here is one of their higher end fashion buyers, so he'll do something more along the lines of rag&bone than BB Golden Fleece, to name to MG made tailored clothing lines. I suspect MG wants to keep the factory running but doesn't want to make anything so badly that it would degrade the MG brand. Still, since it was made to sell at these prices, it could be lacking the stuff that only we miss. You get what you pay for.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Ease of being able to walk to the airport.
I was unable to put drinks from the bar on my room. Which on arrival was inconvenient as we had very few Euros and the nearest atm was at the airport. I was offered a lift to get some cash. Not perfect but a help.
I especially liked how pleasant and helpful the staff was at the front desk. The food in the restaurant was was extremely well prepared. I would look at staying at another Oceania hotel again in the future. With the location of the hotel at the airport it would have been easier to do business in the city with a car.
The room was clean, warm and comfortable. The staff were nice and the breakfast was fine. The hotel was 5 minutes walk from the airport and it was great value for money.
walking distance to the airport with suitcases in tow
Cleanliness, quiet, excellent bar service, suited the business traveller well Inefficient internet service, restaurant closed too early,
the fact hotel was so convenient to airport for early morning flight
close to airport unable to buy bottle of wine from bar
Room was very good. Breakfast also good Arrived late from a flight & couldn't find the water machines mentioned in the brochure. No food available Sunday Lunchtime
Rooms were v. spacious and comfortable. Restaurant was lovely. All staff were very friendly No
The distance from Nantes airport and the handy shuttle service (although it only really take a few minutes to walk once you work out the route). Breakfast was a good buffet although hardly any hot food available. The hotel was being completely refurbished and was a mess. We still had to pay full price for our room despite this. Workmen started early in the morning. We had to walk through plastic sheeting to find our room. There were no clear directions to the room and our room had no room number outside. One of the staff on the desk was pretty frosty with us. You have to walk to a hotel next door for breakfast which was not clearly explained.
walking distance to airport
Quite good hotel with comfortable room. Hotel staff is frendly and polite. In spite of closure to airport the room is not noise. The room was very small.
Extremely friendly staff and exceptionally close to airport with a shuttle service on demand.
Was ideal for us as we needed something close to airport. For anyone wanting a simple hotel near the airport it's fine without being anything special.
the wireless internet connection did not work as I never received a login and password to access it
It's not finished! The refit was going on whilst I was there and I think the room rate should have reflected this disturbance. The reception was dusty and dirty due to the building works and I got this dust all over my suit from the lifts. The place will look good when it's finished but has been reopened too early to charge full rate when it is in this state.
Friendly approach in reception; they were able to converse in english which was a great help Would have liked tea/coffee facilities in the room. However, one could go to the bar for both, so it wasn't a big issue.
Close to the Airport / Good Value for Money / Complimentary Internet Access Currently being redecorated
Location, staff Value for money, room facilities - tea/coffee, safe, shower, light bulbs
Smack on Graslin Square. Quite and comfortable. Free parking. No complaints. Good deal. Solid hotel.
traditonal hotel, friendly service, large room, superb location the noise, the noise, the noise
closeness to amenities poor room standards, requested and got larger room. No mirrors in room or drink making facilities. No shoer - mixer tap on bath
The location was central for shopping, wining and dining and had very easy access to good public transport network. Because of industrial action and protests in Nantes our access to the hotel was "barred"for a few hours. When we arrived after this fraught experience and unloaded our luggage at the front door only to be directed to the public car park three blocks away, the staff offered no assistance and failed to point out the hotel car park in the hotel courtyard for the exclusive use of clients. I was not impressed. The breakfast service was barely adequate with very limited choice.
The size of the space! No.
Excellent location. Staff extremely friendly and helpful Hotel decor and furniture a little tired.
The staff would speak English but did let me speak with my modist French without me felling "silly" (if that makes sence)
location bed uncomfortable, backyard view
Courtesy and attention of all staff. Excellent facilities. Historic but light and airy surroundings.
It was confortable, central, new and clean. I had a room with the sofa bed and I find it very confortable indeed I was not able to connect to internet with my laptop from my room, but there was a pc at the hotel hall available for guests. As I stayed 4 nights the room was no more cleaned while staying. But anyway it was not really a problem as I was alone and kept everything clean.
Really Big and comfortable room. Breakfast without fruits and relatively few options.
The location to the International Congress Center was very convenient and it was a close walk to Place Commerce and Place Royale. The hotel staff never came into my room the entire week I was there. I grapped clean towels from the cart in the hallway. perhaps this was what I was supposed to do.
Location, room design & comforts (washing machine, vacum cleaner, iron, cutlery etc), some restaurants and stores for a quick snak almost next door (we tried the pizza take away and the Chinese/Laos restaurant which were very good) and the fact that it was very new (we were told it opent in Nov 2009) It would be very convenient if the empty store on the ground floor was a small food market and/or a bakery (the closest we found was about 10 min walk). Very inconvenient handles in kitchen cupboards, washing mashine & fridge. It's imposible to open them with wet hands.
Location close to all tourist destinations. Modern ambience of rooms. No ice available.
extremely helpful staff, great location! Having a fully stocked kitchen (equipment) is a very nice feature for families, since very often in France the breakfast is not good and expensive. Super clean, new and fresh, in contrast to what French hotels are often like... It wasn't a problem for us, but it was surprising to pull up to the hotel and see 2 'sex shops' on the same street.
Design and comfort of our room.
The location (very close to the conference center, the railway, the castle and the city), the hotel stuff (very kind) and the facilities (wifi in the room, sauna and gym etc)
Comfort room & place.But if you need any thing from hotel like towel ...cleaning of the room you must ask as it's differ from hotel rules daily cleaning at this hotel. They had not daily cleaning of room for my staying period each items needed must be asked.
_ Everything to been perfect, the facilities are new and of good quality, the service and the personnel are very attentive and nice ___ the situation of the hotel is good __ Excellently, _ I recommend it earnestly __ The prepayment __ I particularly prefer paying on having come to the hotel. .
The hotel was very centrally located and clean, the staff were friendly. Tea/coffee in room plus a hair dryer. The only complaint i have is that the beds were old and it was sagging in the middle, caused a back ache for both of us. Due to the very central location there was some noise on weekend nights.
very friendly personnel; very well organised; good breakfast Lot of street noise at night
Clean,friendly staff,good location and private parking underneath. Very noisy outside most of the night. Air-conditioning not working in a very warm stuffy room.
Good hotel - good central location - good wine selection in the bar. Parking was a bit tricky to get to
The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and tidy. Breakfast Buffet is as good as expected. The location is super and close to all points of interest. The bathroom shower spills over the floor due to poor layout and finish of the barrier glass
Hotel so central and convenient Missed the Tea & Coffee facilities in the room
Staff were very friendly and helpful, hotel was very comfortable nad I would recomend this hotel to others
The hotel is perfectly located for exploring the city nothing all was good
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Also, the location is perfect for the shopping district and a short stroll from the bars/restaurants.
Excellent location, large room, good value for money One-way streets and nearby tramways make it difficult to reach by car.
Hotel had a good value for money. Tramway provided a good transport connection to the city center, as the location was a bit off center. There was also free parking in the garage, even if a bit cramped. Nothing to complain.
clean room and ready window was open on entry and flys or mites were around lights and bit us during nites sleep... expensive for what your getting to be honest. its like a jurys in ireland but double the price..
loved the location loads to see and do. tram outside the door.also bike hire.loads of parking. perfect experience.
The hotel is located at the river about 1.2 km from the center. The tram stop is just at the hotel. The hotel has its own garage. Our room was large with twin beds and nice view of the river.
reception staff very helpful, breakfast was good and good tram link to other parts of city. There was also parking facility.
Good restaurant and friendly staff. Furniture & carpets in rooms need updating to justify 3 star rating.
Polite Friendly staff. Good position of hotel to main Tourist attractions. There was no air conditionaing. The room was very hot and noisy with the window open. There were also some form of flying insects that caused my partner to be bitten and some discomfort.
Reception Staff- Spoke English very well and menus/signs etc in English were a bonus! Ice machine was great. Food was excellent and very accomodating for the children. Approach to restaurant is not good, loads of coat hangers, meeting in the bar, could not see if the restaurant was open. Only one member of staff serving both bar and restaurant. Not very efficient. Too expensive for gin and tonic - 9 euros each and only one bottle of tonic between 2 people. Breakfast not very good value at 13 euros per person-not a lot for your money.
We do not like the lack of preparation of the reception staff to give information of any kind. We had no tour support we can to fulfill our plan to visit.
Location close to the city centre, right opposite a tram stop was extremely convenient. Car parking excellent. Very quiet, very nicely furnished accomodation. Checking in time was quite late in the day, and the fact that the hotel restuarant was closed at the week-end was a pity.
They sent me an email after I had departed on my journey, saying they had overbooked, and had no room for me. They could not find any hotel nearby for the same money, so they sent me to a sister hotel, in the next city, 20 minutes away. I wanted to be in the original location, right in the heart of that area.
We liked the facility to make hot drinks and light meals in our room. Although it was certainly not the fault of the hotel there was a lot of night-time noise from nearby bars and restaurants.
Very clean and helpful staff. Very noisy at night and building work in the adjacent street from early hours of the morning. Hotel room had no hairdryer, but could borrow one from reception and no tea/coffee available in the room.
Great location easy to find and close to all the restaurants and bars, very friendly staff and extremely helpful. Only downside was the rooms were a bit small but for a weekend away they had everything we needed.
The location is fantastic, right in the middle of Nantes. It is therefore very convenient to visit the city. Hotel staff is helpful and kind. The room temperature was a little bit cold for me and I had no way of changing it.
Very clean hotel, rooms were very clean also. Excellent location. Staff helpful Our room was a bit small, but adequate, not enough room storage-wise, my husband likes to put everything away, but there was no-where to put our bags, or the contents of them, so they were open on the floor for the weekend, which annoyed my husband. We had to ask for clean towels, the rooms are not cleaned everyday.
Great location, modern apartment ,although quite basic everything was clean and new. Good location for shops and restuarants. Close to one lof the biggest indoor skateparks in Europe . No car park ( it is a city centre but we managed to park outside at the weekend )
I liked the location as the Bouffay stop on the local tram was right beside the hotel. Also, it was very clean throughout. 2-bedroom suite was ideal for us and reasonably priced. Bathroom was a good size and towels were replaced on Day 1 of our stay without us having to ask for them. The receptionist ordered a taxi to the Airport for us and it arrived ahead of our requested time. A good choice of restaurants were to be found near the hotel. Front of the hotel (tram side) didn't look very attractive as it looked like a derelict building initially. There was a fair bit of noise late at night with people making their way home after their night out.
the staff when you arrive /wifi access/ design/ location The room was cold!No shampoo/ Noisy early in the morning because of the truck cleaning the surrounding streets/ 2 small packs of Nescafe or tea would be welcome in the room/ Please improve the way to enter in the hotel during evening ( door closed and secured, I enter because somebody was going out)
location breakfast is no value for what you are paying bit of a rip off
Hotel situated near to train station and also near to city centre. Breakfast buffet was also quite nice.
Efficient, friendly service from reception, cleaning staff and the restaurant. Large, well appointed rooms. Good choice at breakfast.
The room was very good and the service was good as well. Location is not the best choice for holidays purposes, because it is a little far from the city centre.
The room was child friendly. And was within walking distance of the city centre Parking was directly below the hotel but was not owned by. Very aesy to use but an added expense at €12 a day.
Efficient, helpful and friendly service. Cleanliness, comfort and quality of rooms. Tasty, well presented, good choice and good, friendly service at breakfast. Conveniently located for sight-seeing.
The convenient car park. Location. Poor internet connection.
We felt relaxed and it was convenient. Clean and welcoming. Good and easy to have a safe in the room. Only two portions of milk per day in the room. We wished to be able to have more warm drinks than 2. Didn't like the cardboard cups in the room. A little too hot in the room, no way of making it cooler. Drinks and food in the room cabinet very dear - hence wwe did not avail ourselves of this service.
The easy access to the parking lot and the location close to the city center.
Quiet , clean and comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff., free internet in room with good bandwidth. Still somehow "unfinished", no wifi in room.
the equipment there are very nice
I like a lot the hotel staff, even not speaking french so much, the communication was good and the room is really nice, confortable and clean. I went to Nantes for the first time and, as a visitor, I was expecting that the hotel location was more in the center of the city, or near it. Is not hard to get by bus or tram (the station is really close by walking and there´s a bus stop in the end of the hotel street), but it would be better, if don´t have a car/auto to stay in a central area. So my suggestion would be for the hotel, explain better about the location, so people can choose better if it´s the case.
Wow!!! What can I say about this hotel? It's obviously only been built recently and judging by the few people who were staying, it is ridiculously under used and has not been 'discovered' yet. All the rooms appear to be 'apartment' rooms; air conditioned, fridge, cooker, separate toilet and bathroom and immaculately clean at a bargain price!!! Highly recommended! The only minor issue was that the restaurant in the hotel seems to shut during the French Summer holiday, which seemed a little weird, but I suspect this will probably change as the hotel becomes more well known. It wasn't an issue as there was a choice of a couple of restaurants about a 10 minute walk away. It wouldn't put me off staying at this fantastic hotel!
friendly staff, clean room quite difficult to find
Friendliness of the staff.
Hotel is new therefore not everything was working. No WiFi connection in the room. Breakfast was rather modest. Price was excellent though so overall I would recommend lack of WiFi
The hotel was very comfortable and ideally situated for the reasons for my visit to Nantes.
The breakfast was the best sofar in France. The staff was very frienly
Convenience of the location; opposite railway station
Clean, large room, and even though next to railway station I had a good, quiet stay. Parking was a problem
good location, cleanliness. temperature of the room is centrally controlled.
Professional staff and very helpful. Comfortable room and very clean. It was right next to the train station and met all ou needs. Nothing
Close to everything. Ten minute walk to castle and cathedral and restaurant/shopping quarter. Clean room but hallways had a musty smell. Late checkout is nice for those who aren't morning people. Especially when you have 4 in your party with only one bathroom. Breakfast good. Eggs and bacon too!! No private parking. Had to park in an alley behind hotel. Hotel reception said it was at no charge and we realized the next morning it was paid parking. Web site said room was a suite. I expected a little more than just a big room with 4 beds and a fridge. You get what you pay for.
tt was a good value for the money with nice bedding, clean and spacious bathroom. I wanted to stay 3 nights but had to leave after 2, because the hotel was sold out. I was referred to the Comfort Inn Astoria, which was a dump.
Proximity to sites of interest and restaurants. Parking at the railway station across a very busy street may be a problem for some people (older or with young children).
it was very central to train station and to the main attractions in the city.bus and tram service was very convienent. Breakfast was good value at 10 euro.
Very good. Room was very clean, and well cleaned every day. Nice and quite. Good location. Menu could have English description in addition to French. I was assigned a smoking room even thought I had asked for a non-smoking room but it was not a problem since I could not detect any smoke. The bed was a little hard for my taste.
Convenient to train station was great and the convenience to the old town. The staff were friendly. I was upgraded and had a beautiful big room. Breakfast was great ... loved the pancakes!
Location Smell of smoke in the hall by our room
I do not like much. Bottom of the hotel's restaurant and as soon as the train station. Very small rooms, cramped. And nenaravitsya when shower goes straight to bed. Humidity feels misted window of the room.
excellent room - no noise from station No tea/coffee facilities in room
Very good room. Great staff-really helpfu land good humoured. Food excellent. Breakfast -top class No-Would love to go there again
The staff were extremely helpful. The fact that the hotel is literally attached to the station (windows are double glazed so no noise!) makes up for the fact that it is about 10 minutes walk away from the main tourist attractions in the old town. When we were there, complimentary hot beverages and biscuits were available 24 hours at the lobby - nice touch. Breakfast was pretty standard and breakfast is free to guests aged 55 and above.
Well located, clean rooms, good value for money. No internet access
Good restaurant attached to the hotel. Room was a good size, clean and up to date with all necessities. Near the railway station. Secure hotel parking. Walking distance to chateau. Staff were excellent
Very clean and comfortable rooms, just next to the station and rental car offices.
The first night we were allocated a room which can best be described as small and just about adequate. When we returned 4 nights later we were allocated an "upgraded" room, at no additional cost,which was much better.
The hotel staff were unfailingly approachable, helpful and warm. La Perouse is in an excellent location just a couple of minutes stroll from the charming old town and close to the "Commerce" tram hub. The hotel has strong "green" credentials. The buffet breakfast was enjoyable. The bathroom seemed slightly jaded, but this didn't detract from an enjoyable stay. Our abiding memory was of a smart, environmentally friendly hotel with outstanding staff.
Convenience to city Poor breakfast
Personnel was really friendly and helpful. Room was spatious and clean. On my first day there was a live concert in front of my window (music festival that takes place once a year) until 2 am. They should have told me or at least have earplugs available. The wifi signal was weak and was blocking access to my email.
the location hotel seems old fashion, small room, bathroom not very practical
Central position Would have liked a showerbox in the bathroom
Staff so lovely and helpfull. breakfast lovely and put a spare bed in room for our daughter. Location perfect.
location noise, smell of paint, no showers, buffet breakfast not great.
Modern clean room. Good bedlinen pillows and towels and shower. Good central location. Helpful staff. Question safety access from bedroom in emergency.
(1) the servise in this Hotel is excellent, especially one of female staff.Sorry I did not know her name! Anyway I like the people and air in Nantes very much! I really enjoy it! (2) the location is much better than what I image. It is in the real center of Nantes city, close to shopping center and bars. (3) finally I will always miss you, Nantes!!!
Excellent location: Zenith 1 minute's walk & Atlantis Shopping Center within walking distance (with unfortunately not very good restaurants). The hotel breakfast is great, with freshly squeezed citrus fruits at choice! Staff remembered us from last time and are professional and extremely helpful. Tea/coffee set in room!!! Underground parking at 10 EUR/night (recommended with big Zenith events) with lift direct to room. Lots of TV channels TNT + CNN + Eurosport etc. Top marks! In spite of quite spacy rooms and excellent showers with great turbo pressure, seperate wc; one little ick: The lack of wardrobe space (lacks drawers, easily accessible shelfspace, shoe-space) so I would not stay for a longer period of time, but then I imagine this is not the kind of clientele this hotel attracts. Still a great place for a business stopover, zenith visit, or hospitals.
All staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. The room was spotless and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast although normally a bit too expensive for our pocket! Nothing - absolutely perfect for our night out.
lean, modern, very helpful staff
Brand new hotel with very friendly staff. Hard to find with a GPS but it is worth it.
Friendly staff, lovely breakfast, modern desing furniture Grounds need attention
The room was clean, however the hotel is quite far away from the city centre. Far away from the city centre and if you use public transportation than you have to walk for 10 min. through sometimes deserted areas.
Really functional..
Very convenient the Zenith Theatre and the shopping at the Atlantis shopping centre. Parking easy as well outside the hotel. Good breakfast. Pity there is no restaurant for an evening meal.
New and clean Location difficult to find as not on Sat Nav yet
excellent room very quiet . good breakfast selection . secure parking a definite plus .

Affordable Healthcare Enrollment Starts Tuesday October 1
NY State of Health is an organized marketplace designed to help people shop for and enroll in health insurance coverage. Individuals, families and small businesses will be able to use the Marketplace to help them compare insurance options, calculate costs and select coverage online, in-person, over the phone or by mail. The Marketplace will help people to check their eligibility for health care programs like Medicaid and sign up for these programs if they are eligible. The Marketplace will also be able to tell what type of financial assistance is available to applicants to help them afford health insurance purchased through the Marketplace. Insurance coverage can be purchased through NY State of Health beginning in October 1, 2013 and can be effective starting January 1, 2014.

Marketplace History and Development
Under the federal Affordable Care Act, a Marketplace will be operating in every state starting in October 2013. States have the option to either set up a Marketplace or to allow the federal government to set up a Marketplace in their state. New York has chosen to set up its own Marketplace, called NY State of Health. (Previously, it was called the New York Health Benefit Exchange.) On April 12, 2012, Governor Cuomo issued Executive Order #42 <http://www.governor.ny.gov/press/04122012-EO-42>to establish it within the NYS Department of Health.
On July 9, 2012 Governor Cuomo submitted a declaration letter <http://info.nystateofhealth.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-issues-declaration-letter>to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services confirming New York's intent to establish a State-based Health Plan Marketplace consistent with the Affordable Care Act.
NY State of Health has established five Regional Advisory Committees <http://info.nystateofhealth.ny.gov/RegionalAdvisoryCommittee> pursuant to Governor Cuomo's Executive Order No. 42 to provide advice and make recommendations on the establishment and operation of the Marketplace, including recommendations about relevant regional factors. The five Committees represent the following regions of the state: Western NY, Central NY/Finger Lakes, Capital District/Mid-Hudson/Northern NY, New York City/Metro, Long Island. Each committee is comprised of representatives of consumers, small business, health care providers, insurance agents and brokers, labor organizations and other stakeholders.

AUDIO: Curbside Service: Food Trucks In Cleveland
(Cleveland) - It seems food trucks are all the rage downtown...with more workers embracing the rolling restaurants at lunch time.
Why they are they so popular? Newsradio WTAM 1100 spoke with food truck fans. Some say it's all the publicity the mobile eateries have been receiving recently.
Others believe it's the changing workplace. With employees spending more time at their desks, they don't have the time to visit a sit-down restaurant.
Others contend it is varied and exotic menus many food trucks offer, a break from the regular routine of burgers and fries, and prices seem to be reasonable. Some say food trucks are the most exciting development in Cleveland's business district in several years.
Food truck operators contend business is booming partly because of the exotic meals they offer.

Tony Brigandi run's Tony's Truck Stop, and admits his sales started off slow, but claims business is improving as people learn more about his product. Never-the-less he's having a lot of fun meeting and serving the public.
Bringing a Mediterranean favor to downtown Cleveland is Chef Grey Wolf...who prepares recipes from around the world, and has decades of experience in the food and restaurant business.

Bringing a Mediterranean favor to downtown Cleveland is Chef Grey Wolf...who prepares recipes from around the world, and has decades of experience in the food and restaurant business.
He recently decided to run his own food truck and says business is booming, thanks in part to the trend toward healthier lifestyles.
Dave Kilgore owns the food truck Pigaliscous, serving smoked Cuban roast pork. He says business is great and serves 100 people a day during the noon hour.
When asked if he is taking business away from sit-down restaurants, Kilgore says it's a changing marketplace and to survive you have to compete.

New York -- While it may be days, even weeks, before the full extent of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy is known, economists are forecasting that retail sales will be impacted in October and November but that the economy overall will experience an uptick.
Retailers across all categories closed stores on Monday as Sandy made its approach. Wal-Mart, for example, had closed 33 stores as of 11:45 a.m. ET on Monday, according to a Wall Street Journal report, with most of those stores located in Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut and New Jersey. Target had closed 12 stores by Monday morning and told WSJ it would likely close additional stores throughout the day and into Tuesday and Wednesday.
Macy's had closed 130 stores by Monday morning, as well as its New York City offices. Best Buy closed more than 100 stores across the Northeast, and Foot Locker said it would close about 200 stores in all.
Most retailers, however, expressed relief that the storm didn't hit over a weekend and that, even better, it fell on what are typically the slowest sales days for retail.
Citigroup retail analyst Deborah Weinswig told WSJ that she expects a mixed bag for retailers because of the storm. Hurricane Sandy will "disrupt last minute Halloween sales and mall traffic but drive stock-up trips to discounters," she said.
In total, however, economic losses from the storm will likely exceed the $12 billion to $16 billion in damage from Hurricane Irene, which battered the Northeast in August 2011. Some of the latest estimates are that Hurricane Sandy's damage may reach $35 to $45 billion.
The storm forced the New York Stock Exchange to close for a second day, and the ports of New York and New Jersey have been closed and evacuated. All the closures will mean lost wages, production and sales for businesses throughout the region, which makes up about 15% of the nation's economy. Business lost by department stores could be made up in coming weeks but foregone restaurant sales will not be recovered, Diane Swonk, chief economist of Mesirow Financial, told the Detroit Free Press. Grocery stores and home-improvement outlets are realizing net gains as customers have stocked up on water, generators, flashlights and batteries. Online retail will likely experience an uptick as thwarted shoppers turn to the Internet to make purchases.
Swonk also said that homeowners forced to repair damage will likely make further renovations that they've put off, boosting economic growth. The storm is "unleashing pent-up demand," she says. "It's the most perverse stimulus to the economy." Swonk estimated that Hurricane Sandy will add from two-tenths to half a percentage point to economic growth this quarter.

California is home to the top five computer science schools in the U.S., according to a new salary-centric report from PayScale.
The research company ranked 129 college majors based on the median pay for alumni from 1,016 schools (see related story, Computer science major ranks No. 8 for salary earning potential).
[ Also on InfoWorld: Hotshot young techies, take heed of these 10 hard-earned lessons of a lifetime in IT. | Get a digest of the day's top tech stories in the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
In addition to ranking the most lucrative majors, PayScale also analyzed which schools produce the highest-paid graduates in each field of study. Among computer science graduates, alumni from University of California, Berkeley, led the pack with a median mid-career salary of $141,400, PayScale said. The Golden State is also home to the next four universities in the computer-science rankings.
[HIRING: 10 reasons for IT job-hunters to be optimistic]
To come up with its rankings, PayScale surveyed 1.4 million civilian employees working full-time in the U.S. Only employees who possess a bachelor's degree and no higher degrees are included in PayScale's College Salary Report. The rankings are based on the median mid-career earnings of graduates.

Bank Job
By Frenche Brewer, email@example.com, 803-777-3691
Retailing graduate student Sradha Sheth is keeping extended banker's hours.
Sheth and nine of her graduate assistant peers are among the employees who will help run the newest branch of the Carolina Collegiate Federal Credit Union, (CCFU) the University of South Carolina's banking institution for faculty, staff and students, housed in the Russell House.
"The department of retailing has teamed up with the credit union, and I thought it would be a good experience. It has been close to two months since I started working, and I am thoroughly enjoying my work," Sheth said.
Although the mini branch opened earlier this summer, CCFU announced its official arrival with a grand opening Wednesday, Aug. 29. The branch partly will be staffed by 10 graduate assistants from the College of Hospitality, Retail, and Sport Management (HRSM).
"The College of HRSM is extremely grateful for the large number of assistantships that were made possible by a $60,000 gift from the Carolina Collegiate Federal Union. In addition, this gift will help pay for valuable and practical industry experience for the students," Bickle said.
The graduate interns will perform all of the cash transactions such as check cashing and depositing, opening new accounts, issuing debit cards and solving account-related problems.
Anne Shivers, president of CCFU, said it's exciting to be able to provide real world work and leadership experience to the interns who will lead the operation of the Financial Service Center.
"And, I'm also excited that we can serve credit union members from more than 1,700 credit unions by providing this convenient location. As USC's not-for-profit financial institution, I look forward to making a difference in the financial lives of every university student, faculty and staff member," Shivers said.
Sheth and her classmates are gaining practical experience in retail banking, and she hopes the skills will transfer to a career in service marketing in industries such as hospitality or tourism.
"Marketing, merchandising and retail consulting are my areas of interest, and I am hoping to use what I learn in banking in a career with a big and well-known retailer," Sheth said.
The student union branch operates from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, with varying Saturday hours.

How Did Artists Pick Their Songs for The Beatles' Grammy Special?
Photo: Getty Images
By Sierra Marquina
Everyone from John Legend to Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran lent their voices to The Beatles: The Night That Changed America – A Grammy Salute.
The special, which airs Sunday, honors the iconic Beatles and features the biggest names in music tackling their biggest hits, right in front of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
Duets include John Legend and Alicia Keys' take on "Let It Be" and John Mayer and Keith Urban's rendition of "Don't Let Me Down," amongst others.
Also added to the mix are solo performances by Katy Perry, Stevie Wonder, Imagine Dragons, and more.
Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich tells On Air with Ryan Seacrest that when it came to deciding who was going to sing which classic, it was up to the artists!
"One of the great things about this show is we went to the artist and said to them, 'What Beatles song do you want to sing?'" explains Ken. "And for the most part, they were songs the artist themselves chose and [they] performed these songs 20 feet from Paul and Ringo."

There are basically four types of cheap iphone 5 cases that you can buy. You can choose between a rubber, metal, leather or plastic type of case. If you are looking for an affordable case and your iPhone is never in much danger and does not fall out of your pocket much then a plastic case could fit your needs. If you have a larger budget and can afford a leather case and are after looks and style then a leather case could fit your needs best. If you are a construction worker and your iPhone is more danger than say the typical person then you might consider getting a metal case.
Let's hope to God, that Apple doesn't go for anything like the grotesque mockup of the first post.
The bezel to sreen ratio is of primary aesthetic importance - and great practical importance.
However you grab that pug fugly minger of the OP, you're gunna have screen interaction ... whether you want it or not.
Leave the bezel alone.
Just scale the whole thing up, so the screen's 4.8", Apple.
And maybe have three physical buttons at the bottom.
Now THAT would be an iPhone I'd consider buying!
It ain't getting any less pug fugly with time.
In fact, the more I see it, the uglier it gets.
This mockup is the typical juvenile, over-excited geekboy reaction we come to see from people with nothing else to do with their lives but waste it on photoshopping ridiculous mock-ups in the months running up to a launch.
I hope the white matte portion color is just distorted by lighting bc it looks tannish and that's not cool. I have always wanted a white iPhone but keep ending up with black. This might be my chance to get a white one so I hope that matte portion is actually white...
Don't know if this has already been posted, but there's a vid of this now.
iPhone 5 Back Cover or Middle Plate/A new iPhone Part Leaked - YouTube
I especially liked the comparison to the 4/4S housing. This phone is clearly significantly taller.
I was hoping they'd keep the same height and width and just fill some of the blank space with screen. Looks like the next iPhone will be even taller than many phones with 4.3" screen.
If these pictures end up the final retail production product, then no iPhone 5 for me.
