[Assemblyman Bob] Huff said the math doesn't add up: A 2-foot-wide bicycle, a 7-foot-wide car and a 3-foot-wide buffer zone can't squeeze into an 11-foot lane and would cram a 12-foot lane.It's as if these people don't know what the brake pedal is for.
AB 60 could solve one safety problem by creating another, forcing cars routinely to cross center lines into oncoming traffic to honor the 3-foot buffer, critics say.
Punitive legislation aimed at motorists is popular among some bicyclists; however it is unnecessarily antagonistic to the auto-lobby and generally yields minimal real improvement for cyclists. Funding for bicycling is a far greater and more important challenge. I would prefer the "bike lobby" not waste scarce resources on "feel good" bills that offer scant improvement. Should California bicyclists support AB 60? Of course. Should we make it our top legislative priority? Absolutely not.See also Kiril's commentary for additional background and history on AB 60. Three feet is the law in Florida, Utah and Grants Pass, Oregon.

I hope it's a start some real theme authors develop their own stuff
Funny because in your latest theme you are using prettyphoto, flexslider, vegas, why didn't you code these yourself? Are you not a real author?It's the same for everyone, we buy/use ready code because it's convenient, saves time, and there is no point reinventing the wheel
Well i must say i agree with you. Your absolutely right..
But for some reason i don't like the fact authors promoting their themes with lots of slogans saying it includes slider this with a value of 25 bucks, and manager that with a value of 40 bucks, and this for 15 bucks, all with this incredible theme for only 40 or 50 bucks.
So your right, i should have said it in another way while i'm also including other things.
It was just that promothing thing that bugged me, but like you said, no need to reinvent the wheel is kind of right now i'm thinking about it
A lot of CodeCanyon plugins are purchased from ThemeForest authors – with intentions of including them in their templates/themes for sale.
However, it is my understanding that this still can be accomplished under the Extended License (with permission from the CodeCanyon author). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong – as there will be a few things I'll need to adjust.
Purchasing stock items and including them into a larger body of work for sale on a marketplace is a win-win situation for everyone. Authors from all marketplaces benefit from non-designers, non-coders, non-musicians, etc. purchasing Envato items to bundle into a larger item.
I'm preparing to release a new plugin that I've invested nearly $500 in Extended License items from Graphic River. Fortunately all assets were acquired prior to this license shift, so I'll still be able to include them – but all it will do is add buyer value. I think cross-marketplace purchases such as these not only enrich marketplace items (since no one is a master of all fields) but actually promotes sales throughout all of the marketplaces.
Just think about all of the full-time authors that purchase items for 1 reason – to include those items in theirs. This should be absolutely acceptable – with provided author permission of course.
Again, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Please read this post: http://notes.envato.com/general/marketplace-license-updates-part-2/
Let's take one real-life example from CodeCanyon, the well known Revolution Slider. Its authors write the following on the bottom of the page:http://codecanyon.net/item/slider-revolution-responsive-wordpress-plugin/2751380
If you want to use the RevSlider in your Theme here on ThemeForest too please purchase 1 extended license for each theme (as long as there is no Developer License available) you put on the marketplace!
Does it constitute 'making an arrangement' with an author? Will a WordPress theme with such slider included be accepted during the approval process? The intentions of all sides here are clear.
Additionally, if I have an item that I have purchased on CodeCanyon along with Extended License prior to those changes, can I include it in newly submitted ThemeForest item without the risk of it being rejected on this basis?
Oh come on guys…. After reading through this thread all I can say is Envato is really muddling things up.
All this "ask authors for permission" crap will only lead to confusion and problems. Theme forest authors wanting to use CC plugins is a VERY specific usage, simply give CC authors an option box that says "If you purchase an extended license – I grant you permission to include this plugin with themes that are sold exclusively on TF." which then shows up underneath the extended licence option. It should be crystal clear for everyone to see what a TF author can and can't do with CC plugins.
When it comes to the law and money, the idea of "private emails" seeking permission is down right silly and will lead to infinite amounts of serious issues.
P.s As prezzz pointed out, slider revolution includes a disclaimer at the end granting permission for TF authors to use the plugin in their themes. Why would a CC author need to put this in the item description? It should be standard checkbox under the extended license option (as stated above)
Hi everyone,
Not sure if this has been suggested or considered, but with regards to offering different sliders, what about offering certain sliders with the theme at a bundle price.
When the buyer is buying your theme, on the same page they select which slider to include.
So say the theme is one price $40 (author gets the commission) and if the buyer chooses the Revolution Slider or whichever slider, the price goes up $10 or $15 dollars (credited to slider author)
Envato sort out the commissions and everyone is happy.
I should think that the author of the slider would allow you to demonstrate the slider on your theme for free, because the sales count for them too.
Actually, i think the meaning of "end product" depends on user's purpose of usage. For instance, i'm an author in TF, and want to use CC's item in my theme, then sell to buyers. so in this case, theme is the "end product" not website.
Just what i thought .
Honestly, still don't understand whether and how it is possible to use a CodeCanyon plugin in a ThemeForest WP theme… do I need to contact the author? Please, make a thread with some clear examples. I read this http://notes.envato.com/general/marketplace-license-updates-part-2/ but it seems to ask for feedbacks only…

But above all, it is reminiscent of a medievalism wholly different from that of Beowulf.
medievalism is attractive only when seen from a short distance.
That great giant had not yet discarded the ways and habits of medievalism.
A country so energetic and advanced as Germany had clung, nevertheless, to many repellent principles of medievalism.
It differs from medievalism only in degree, but not a whit in kind.
As imparted in the universities and schools, it savored strongly of medievalism.
And the customs of the town still have a savor of medievalism—bulls were baited within the memory of living men.
It is a medieval city modernised, but without the flavour of the medievalism being spoiled.
He feared to offend a nation of readers reveling in the medievalism of Scott and Byron.
In a land of democracy, even these last remnants of the scourge of medievalism are wiped out.

Lord of the (Engagement) Ring
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life. Bullshit! I call major frickin' BULLSHIT on that one, motherfucker! If you really mean those words made famous by Mick Jones of Foreigner, act on them. Ladies, don't be fooled by a guy who says all the right things, makes all the right promises, but never delivers. Actions speak louder than words.
Someone asked me recently "how many years do you have to be together before your figure out that he doesn't want to marry you?" This reminds me of an old Tootsie Pop commercial from the 70s where a kid asks, "Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a Tootsie Pop?" The owl answered three. If the question was, "How many years does it take to get a ring on your finger?" the owl would have answered one. That's because owls are wise and old, just like me.

5 Dividend Stocks That Want to Pay You More - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- In case you missed it in all of the chatter over the broad market's tightening in on new highs this month, 2013 is actually panning out to be a great year for dividend stocks.
The S&P 500's dividend payouts are currently 4.48% higher than they were 12 months ago, tacking significant income growth onto some significant capital gain growth over the same period. And now, with record corporate profits and cash positions, firms are well positioned to keep cutting bigger dividend checks for shareholders.
>>5 Huge Stocks to Trade for Gains
Even if Warren Buffett conspicuously announced last week that Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) wouldn't be adding on a dividend in 2013, there are plenty of firms that do look primed to boost payouts. In the past few months we've had some stellar success in finding future dividend hikes just by zeroing in on a few key factors. Now we'll look at our crystal ball and try to do it again.
For our purposes, that "crystal ball" is composed of a few factors: namely a solid balance sheet, a low payout ratio and a history of dividend hikes. While those items don't guarantee dividend announcements in the next month or three, they do dramatically increase the odds that management will hike their cash payouts, especially as investors start to get antsy about whether or not 2013's rally will be able to hang on.
Without further ado, here's a look at five stocks that could be about to increase their dividend payments in the next quarter.
>>4 Reasons to Buy Stocks in 2013
Enterprise software giant Oracle (ORCL) has a big problem. With close to $14 billion in net cash, Oracle is one of the many blue-chip tech names that's got more cash than ideas right now -- and another dividend hike makes a whole lot of sense for management in 2013. Right now, Oracle pays out a 6-cent quarterly dividend for just a 0.7% yield.
Oracle is a software behemoth. The firm sells mission-critical software packages to clients that need database tools for everything from customer resource management to supply chain analysis. Because Oracle's software is integrated so tightly into its customers' operations, those customers have extremely high switching costs and competitors have big barriers to entry. Recent cloud computing offerings should make Oracle even more competitive against more nimble software providers in the year ahead.
The pending Acme Packet (APKT) acquisition will eat up around $1.7 billion in net cash, it still leaves management without a viable solution for the rest of the balance sheet, and a dividend boost makes a lot of sense. The decision to accelerate dividend payouts ahead of the fiscal cliff in 2012 already shows that dividend are front of mind for the firm. Investors should keep a close eye on shares in 2013 -- with their wallets open.
2013 is shaping up to be a stellar year for food and beverage giant PepsiCo (PEP). The $117 billion firm has seen its share price climb by 11% since the first trading day in January, besting the broad market's also-impressive climb by a big margin. But investors shouldn't forget that this dividend stock is paying out a 2.83% yield on top of any capital gains they earn this year.
PepsiCo is one of the biggest snack and drink manufacturers in the world, with popular names like Frito Lay, Quaker and Gatorade under the Pepsi umbrella. Despite its beverage-centric name, the firm earns around half of its revenues through its food units, diversification that spreads some of the risk around from its duopoly with Coca-Cola (KO). For snack and beverage firms, distribution is key. Pepsi's distribution network is one of the biggest and most efficient in the world, a fact that makes it incredibly cheap for PEP to incrementally add new brands to customers' store shelves.
Pepsi has scale, but it's working on earnings growth from two angles: by boosting its sales in emerging market countries and by shaving costs off of its income statement. Both approaches should bear fruit for investors in 2013. That should translate into bigger dividend checks this year too.
Colgate-Palmolive (CL) is another potential dividend hiker in the next quarter; right now, CL pays out a 62-cent dividend for a 2% yield. The consumer goods giant owns some of the biggest household product brands in the business, from namesake Colgate and Palmolive to Softsoap, Speed Stick, and Hill's Science Diet pet food. Those valuable consumer staple brands provide some semblance of sticky customers and pricing power for CL, income statement protection that second-tier brands can't offer their owners.
While growth opportunities are becoming more hard-fought for typical blue chips like Colgate-Palmolive, one big expansion opportunity comes from emerging markets, where a burgeoning middle class population is looking to spend their newfound wealth on Western household brands.
Not all of CL's units are created equal -- the firm owns around 45% of the global oral care business, an operation that's Colgate's crown jewel, and a major inroad into international markets that have historically made up a smaller part of sales. Oral care boasts stickier customers (store brands aren't as easily interchangeable for brand names in this area), and it generates hefty margins. Combined with a bulletproof balance sheet and emphasis on dividend payouts, this stock looks like a strong dividend hike candidate right now.
Simon Property Group
Admittedly, mall REIT Simon Property Group (SPG) is a bit of a "gimme" when it comes to dividend hikes. The $50 billion real estate investment trust is effectively an income-generation machine -- it's legally obligated to pay out the vast majority of its income directly to shareholders in the form of dividends. That means that as long as SPG continues to see its profits grow, so too will its dividend. Management doesn't have discretion over its payout.
Simon owns 245 million square feet of leasable space, a portfolio that makes the company the biggest real estate investment trust in the world. Because the firm's main properties are malls, it also gets a cut of tenant sales, a fact that gives this particular REIT considerable exposure to consumer spending.
The landlord business is capital-intense; it's costly, after all, to build new mall projects. But even so, Simon has managed to maintain an attractive balance sheet with a manageable debt load. That should keep Simon's shareholder payouts on the rise in 2013. At last count, the firm's $1.15 dividend works out to a 2.88% yield.
Capital One Financial
Capital One Financial (COF) has made some transformative moves in the last few years. During the Great Recession, the firm bought banks with both hands, picking up enough assets to become the country's number-seven bank by deposits. Those huge deposits, in turn, provide a cheap source of funding for COF's legacy business: lending money.
As one of the biggest credit card issuers, COF is able to translate its deposits into high-rate loans. With interest rates still sitting atop historic lows, the spreads that this firm is able to earn right now are impressive. That's why 70% of COF's profits come from the consumer lending business right now. Capital One has spent considerable resources on advertising, and as a result, it's established its brand as one of the most well-known lenders in the country. The firm's unique card offerings should keep consumers opening new cards, especially as Americans shake off their post-recession aversion to using credit.
While Capital One has been in growth mode for the last few years, it's now entering the phase where it can start to focus on turning its pricey acquisitions into returns for shareholders. Right now, Capital One pays out a 5-cent dividend, but with a strong balance sheet and net margins in the double-digits, this stock should be able to afford a dividend hike for shareholders in the near-term.

Is there any Gi or No Gi comps coming up any time soon in Scotland??
I thought that one got cancelled?? cheers
Been cancelled for a few weeks now, no-one entered before the deadline. TBH it's getting more and more difficult to put events on, there are no longer any suitable venues in Glasgow with the Kelvin Hall shutting and Meadowbank is a lot of hassle for us to run since we are all based in Glasgow, especially given the comps their aren't the busiest.
Is Kelvin Hall closing for good?? it was a good venue!!
Granite City Grappling are hosting a no-gi submission grappling tournament at Banks o' Dee Sports Centre in Aberdeen on Saturday, November 2. Sign-ups will take place on the day. The competition will start at 1pm. Weigh-ins will take place in the morning, with the start time for that to be confirmed. Weight classes and rules will be as standard in most Scottish competitions, but full details will be posted in due course. Just put the date in your diaries for now.
Aberdeen is a trek for most people I would imagine, hopefully it's busy but I don't know.
ah that's shit mate, you would think they would at least of given you a go at running a comp there!!
Last year's comp was well attended, so fingers crossed. Plus, there's a fair few clubs in the North-east and most of the comps that run are a trek for us lot to get to! Nice to have it up here for a change.

Foo Fighters Agree to Play Crowdfunded Richmond Show
The Foo Fighters haven't played Richmond, Virginia since 1998.
Andrew Goldin wanted to change that. So, he started a crowdfunding project to get Dave Grohl and company to come to the capital of Virginia. Through Crowdhoster, Goldin set a goal of selling 1,400 at $50 each. Ticket buyers' credit cards would be charged if the goal was met and refunded if the band declined the show.
But, the Foo Fighters agreed. The band tweeted out a message to the group on Friday night. The date and venue have not been determined.
well, well, well...@foofighters_rva @rvadonuts @browns_vdubs @Crowdtilt See ya soon...let's have a good time.#RVA pic.twitter.com/D4e873tXJG

Apple knows very well android is catching up in terms of total numbers of apps available. I think Apple is slowly switching they're app stores moto from "we have the most apps" to "we have quality apps".
In my opinion, they emphasized a lot more about the app quality in they're last presentation then they ever did.. It almost always been about numbers up to this point. However not in their last iPad mini event. Correct me if I'm wrong.
What about apps that are specifically designed for tablets though? How many iPad specific apps and tablet apps in Google play are there? Just to clear up any confusion by tablet apps I mean an app specifically designed for a tablet rather than a glorified pixel doubled mobile phone application
I really don't care which one has the most apps. I'm still going to use the platform that I'm most comfortable with. I'll never understand why people who claim they don't like a certain OS, or company are always on that site. There has to be some reason why you're trolling. I just don't get it.
Most of the apps I've tried through Apple I don't like.
I've been an iphone user since 3G, 3GS, 4, and now the 5.
In all that time, I've acquired about 50 apps from itunes.
Everything else has been purchased after I have jailbroken my phones.
Ever notice how the jailbroken apps come out, and a year later it's being offered in itunes?
(Don't get me wrong, at least the apps aren't malware like some of the Android apps...700% INCREASE
Even apps that are available for iOS and android there are still problems due to its fragmentation. To give an example of this in the UK the BBC has an app for their iPlayer that allows you to watch their program's. It works fine on all versions of iOS although does not work on my parents Android handsets since they need Adobe flash player which as you probably know (if you don't your hearing it first from me ) Adobe doesn't make flash any more and never made a version that worked with my parents version of Android and their handsets. This problem is something that I don't think has ever or will ever happen with any iOS applications /rant.
iTeleport, there are vnc apps in google play but they don't compare to iteleport with ease of use both on the device and the remote devices with setup.
MMi app
Tivo app
Find iPhone works way better than any android "equivalent".
Tweetbot, sure there are good twitter apps in google play, but there is no tweetbot.
Maps.....whoops, how'd that one get in here lol
Also, while I agree google navigation has been around a long time correct me if I am wrong but don't you need data for it to work? For international people who travel like me having the maps preloaded like tom tom does is a big plus, no data required for it to work.
Definitely quality over quantity! I probably only use about 20-25 apps outside the main one's that come with the iPhone, I could really care less about all the others. Even if Android passed Apple it wouldn't factor in to my decision of what to purchase (iPhone or Android).
Android users still have browsers to visit MMi if they want.
There is a Tivo app for Android so I don't get what you were saying.
Find iPhone works better? Got any sources?
As far as google navigation goes you can pre-navigate your directions using Google Now with voice, on Wifi, and save them for the road. You need data for any app that doesn't store ALL of its maps locally, even if you pre-load the map data before your voyage you have to do so with an internet connection(Data or Wifi).
Android did have quite a few malware infested apps in their market for a while, but it is being policed much more strictly now. Let's don't try to pretend that iOS has never had mischievous developers packing their apps with data mining code. Neither platform is squeeky clean. Quality is subjective, and where some see quality in pretty pictures others might see it in functionality. Android apps CAN have a much wider range of functionality within the more open OS; for example applying themes, backing up data(or full roms), file browsers, installing recovery tools. That doesn't mean that most apps do, but not all "polish" in an app is based on visuals. There are far more complex apps available on Android.
MMi in a browser on a mobile device in one word: sucks
Apparently there is a tivo app (I honestly didn't know), doesn't show up for me in google play and when I try to install from browser gives me not available in your country message. Will have to find a way around that, but that brings up another point why google play isn't as good as the app store, Apple doesn't refuse you stuff based on your IP, if you don't live in the US the google play store is very limited.
I have used Samsung's version of find phone and it was just cumbersome at best.
Tweetdeck is alright, but it's no tweetbot. Anyone who has used tweetbot will tell you the same.
Tom Tom has all the maps preloaded on the device. I don't need data before, during, or after any trip for it to work.
I agree, the app store is not perfect either, I use both and from my personal experience Apple's app store is still the better one. Especially for international users.

Loyal opposition: What it means
Linux for the GNU South — it's coming up so attend if you can.
More than one person — several actually, none of whom will be named here, to protect the innocent — asked me recently, "Did you see Carla Schroder's article in LXer.com on Ubuntu?"
I did. In fact, all ego aside (and we'll wait a few minutes until we've had a chance to move that large thing aside), I may have had a hand in this through my contribution to a LXer.com forum item where I said:
"If you'll permit me a tangent, is Ubuntu "ashamed" to call itself Linux? If you go to their Web page, on the main page you won't find the word "Linux" anywhere. I finally found it on an "About Ubuntu" page in the second or third paragraph. If you go to the openSUSE main page, Linux is there; same with Fedora and Debian (though Debian goes the GNU/Linux route).
Just wondering aloud . . . ."
Later, if you're reading along with us on this forum, Carla Schroder (a.k.a., tuxchick) says:
"Ubuntu has many good points, not the least of which are kick-starting serious effort in making a really good desktop Linux, making inroads into the commercial computer market, genuinely welcoming new contributors, and inspiring hosts of respins and derivatives. Think back to the pre-Ubuntu days– Debian releases were stretching out ever longer (over three years!), Mandriva is perennially in crisis, Red Hat is uninterested in the consumer market….hmmm, methinks I spy an article in this subject." (emphasis added)
So I'll take a bow for contributing to the inspiration behind Carla writing this article, which is outstanding. Its outstanding nature outshines the fact that there are a couple of minuscule glitches in the article itself — one is that while Red Hat may not care about the desktop market, it established Fedora Core and the Fedora Project at the same time it "went enterprise" (not terribly clear in the article), and Fedora started roughly a year before Ubuntu came along. Also, for all the great things it rightfully says about Ubuntu — let me repeat that, for all the great things it rightfully says about Ubuntu — it still doesn't address the community's lack of technical contributions back to the greater FOSS community, for starters.
But let's not go there now.
Let's talk instead about how being respectfully critical or showing calm and reasoned dissent contributes to the greater good of all — for those being criticized as well as for those making the observations. Let's talk about taking what's being said at face value rather than looking into a subtext that more than likely doesn't exist.
Bear in mind: When done for the greater good, dissent is not disloyalty.
I'm an Ubuntu user; though it's not my primary distro of choice, I still use it on a variety of machines. My daughter is an Ubuntu user, and it is her distro of choice, as outlined in our UpSCALE talk (Mimi and I are at the 27:23) at the Southern California Linux Expo this year.
As noted here and elsewhere, I have had differences of opinion regarding how Ubuntu does things, and I have been critical of the credit Ubuntu wrongfully gets for technical contributions made by others. Until this changes, I will continue to be critical of Ubuntu, just as I am critical of Fedora — which is my distro of choice, though I am no longer officially a part of that community — and openSUSE and any other distro or community when criticism is warranted.
My purpose in bringing up shortcomings is to have those in a position to do so correct them — and if I can, I will correct them myself — rather than to berate those doing what I think is misguided or just wrong.
Also, it should be noted that I have also been known to heap praise on those communities that deserve it, bearing in mind that a distro that gets praise one day for doing something good for FOSS may get criticism on another for doing something not-so-good.
The fact of the matter is I don't expect Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Debian or any other distro or FOSS program, to be perfect. I do, however, demand distros and communities to live up to the higher standards that we as FOSS users and advocates have set — the most basic of which is that everyone contributes and everyone benefits — and I don't find this an unreasonable position.
So next time you find someone being critical, ask yourself whether the criticism is valid and if there is a solution to this criticism, other than an ad hominem response (yes, I'm looking at you, Mark Shuttleworth).
Oh, and critics: It's good to have a solution to go along with your critique. Admittedly, I should do this better, and promise to do so going forward.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
excellent restaurant (compliments to chef). correct rooms, clean, nice bathroom. free parking and internet. noisy (some works backside, road frontside). worst pillows ever. weird cleaning staff (tried to enter my room 8.00AM while lift was dirty from late evening till noon and no one cares).
Large enough room and bathroom. Wireless available. For eur 9 per breakfast not enough selection.
Very good and clean apartments! Superior customer service quality! Thank you!
I did not care much for this hotel. It seemed not to be too clean, the hallways were endless and often without lightening.
The rooms were nicely remodeled, clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. Free parking is always a plus in this area. It was definitely a good deal, but you get what you pay for. The location was misleading - while it's not far from the Nice airport, it's not in a picturesque area (actually, in a middle of what looks like an industrial park) and next to a noisy highway. It was also across the streeet from a town stadium where soccer and partying was going on until 2 am on night. My bathroom door got stuck while I was inside, so my mom had to call the front desk for help. Not sure what I would have done if she was not there...
The self-catering apartment is great.
Smiling staff, clean rooms, excellent view. We felt very welcome. If you're above 190cm tall (6 foot 2 inches) watch out for the ceiling light in the living room. Nope, you do need your own car though (which we had).
excelent location for visiting nice cannes st tropez monaco yet peaceful retreat ideal for families directions to hotel a bit tricky
Staff appeared not to friendly
Helpful staff, lovely view, housekeeping amenities The only complaint was an unpleasant smell in the room
We enjoyed the relaxing peacefulness of the surrounding countryside, the weather was fantastic, great pool, lovely room with stunning views. Would definately stay there again. You need a car because the restaurant was closed on the Monday and Tuesday evening and there is not much within walking distance.
the location is suitable for who want to visit monaco,cann,nice , the area is quite and very suitable for families , also the parking area is enough the appartment is with limited area , the breakfast is not with value of the cost
I liked the appertment and the place. the pool was sometime dirty
The room was spacious. We needed to pay extra five Euros to unlock the kitchen cupboards in order to use the microwave, iron and other kitchenette but the booking form says they are 'included'. Since it was only 5 euros, I didn't bother to argue. But the staff was quite rude when I asked him to get the key. (other staffs were good though)
Very professional staff, friendly and english speaking. Lunches are great in the nearby restaurant. keep up the maintenance, hotel is only 4 years old and still looks very good, but maintenance will have to be done to keep it that way.
Location was good and hotel's decor fun and kitschy. Small room.
Great location, very close to the Messena Place and the old town. Restaurants close by. Rooms are a decent size as far as French hotels go and for once the air conditioning actually worked. Staff spoke English and were helpful. We were only at the hotel for a quick overnight stay and didn't arrive until 9:30 pm so we didnt spend a long time in the hotel. Had breakfast in a cafe in the market.
Location No parking facilities offered to guests, however there is a public parking with preferred rates overnight
The availability and efficiency of the staff. The quality of the infra-structure, atmosphere of the hotel and its location. The room bathroom could be equipped with more towel hangers. During breakfast it would be best if the service staff would not start cleaning the room (washing the chairs, etc.) while people are finishing their meal. It disturbs a bit the breakfast experience.
convenient location, not too noisy
I enjoyed the fact that the hotel was very central with easy access to buses and trains.
Staff is very friendly, breakfast was excellent, hotel in general (colours, furniture...) Room for breakfast is too small for so many people
Location was excellent I wouldn't say it was 4 star. It was very basic and tatty in parts.
We got a good deal for the 'Privileged room' and we were given an upgrade to the next level as it was out of season and they had the ability to offer it to us. Was great to have a large room for a few days. Close to the beach and loads of shopping, restaurants, cafes and the stop for the hop on hop off tour bus. They had all the flyers of tourist things at the counter. Wifi was good. No TV reception for english channels.
proximity to local transportation international channels size of room was too small even for one person extremely loud at night rude employees!
We were made very welcome and the Hotel was very well placed for the park and shopping. The view was hardly inspiring.
Near to the City, clean room Room was very smal
the interior of the hotel is exelent, very historical! The restoran is also very doog! Service of the reception and also reception manager was full boor. We planed to stay 21 day- and changed the hotel to another one on the 2 day of our stay!!!
Wonderful wonderful staff and location location location. The rooms were well appointed and in a style that suited the hotel. The balcony was a great place to get a lovely view of the sea. The rooms were larger then most European hotel rooms and air conditioned which made it very comfortable in the August heat. The public areas and dining rooms were very comfortable and charming. Good business center with easy access. The carpet in the halls made it hard to move luggage around and did not fit the period and style of the hotel. Some of the art didn't suit the hotel ambiance. The carpet in our room was very worn and old. The bathroom had chipped sharp tiles and had not been updated which was a little disappointing for the price point. We were also disappointed that no one informed of the beach facilities available.
Bad brekfast? bad plage, bad service, wery high preis - but only in this year
Perfect location, nice sea views, really interesting interiors. Some service points, at the reseption and consierge points.
Very helpful staff; they even said "Have a nice stay" in my language that was amazing! Excellent localtion; place full of arts. You have a feeling that you stay in a museum but you really like it! Just spledid! Nothing, just perfect place.
Good taste and comfort all over + restaurant Chatecler - the best I ever experienced food/wines and ambiance. Nope.
The ambiance was nice- classic old style .The rooms were big and the view spectacular. Unfortunately the bath tub drain cover was not working so it required a nail file to remove the cover to drain the tub.This was repeated every day of our stay without the staff fixing it! The room was not cleaned on returning in the afternoon and we were told by reception that we had to call for cleaning !The wall tiles had black mould which Is really unacceptable in a hotel of this class.also,our room had chipped paint around doors and peeling wallpaper trim.All in all,This hotel needs revamping.On the plus side, the location is the best in Nice. The staff were very poor in responding to complaints - no apologies ever.My room smelled of mould ,to discover next day that there was a furnace type room opening into my closet,which did not have a door.On complaining ,I was given an excuse instead of an apology. Also,after staying 3 days,I was stopped by a security doorman on entering the lobby ,to question me if I was staying at the hotel. Very very upsetting and again ,after telling him yes ,no apology. Good staff should know the guests and be carful before causing an embarrassing moment. The service at breakfast was very poor and the buffet layout difficult to manage due to the tightness of the restaurant.
Historic building, beautiful lobby Rooms definitely need refurbishment
Firstly the location was fantastic, 10mins from the airport and 10 min walk from the old town.Our room was beautiful and big with a big balcony over looking the sea. Could'nt fault it.
Wonderful hotel. Excellent quality and service. Centrally located.
Location close to the sea front The Pool was very small and the sunning area was very small and could only take a small number of sunbathers - we had to instead use the private beach which cost 34 Euros
The majority of your staff could speak english very well. and they were always very friendly and professional particularily Olivier the concierge
It was right on the beach front and a short walk to the two tour buses for Nice. The staff was very friendly, spoke many languages besides French, room service was excellent and very pleasant. No
Large spacious room, robes, slippers, fabulous bath There was no blackout curtain... Luckily I brought an eye mask!
staff, service, breakfast, location - excellent, by the sea, good shopping, easy to get to railway station, old city, shopping streets by walk
convenience to activities and shopping Bedroom carpets not properly hoovered,air con.not perceptily effective.
Over all a great experience since arrival, very good complementary high speed wireless internet , great breakfast and wonderful bath and shower along with quality interior, worth every cent.
Friendliness and courtesy of staff None
our room was facing the mediterrania, so beautiful. it is so close to restaurants in town and shopping.loved going to the casino after dinner. it was so clean and spacious (our room).
The staff was polite, funny and spoke perfect English. The manager worked like crazy to help out at the breakfast. We were impressed. The rooms! They're fine but there was absolutely no where to put anything. Our room had one lawn chair. It was weird. It all feels a little too Miami Vice with the colors. Felt slightly Miami-ish/Golden Girls. Bottom floor was noisy with window open.
I like the location the staff very not helpful at all ,had to ask 5 times at breakfast for hot water in order to have tea
Staff most helpful
Staff were friendly, the room was spacious and the location was perfect.
The hotel is in a superb position on the seafront, the staff are extremely courteous and efficient. Furnished very well in a beautiful French style and very clean.
Nice place, nice staff
Staff was really friendly
Renovated rooms on the 5th floor are fabulous, soundproofing is great. Location is excellent, staff is well trained and friendly.
Great location on the promenade des anglais. Offers a discount to the private beach in front of it (20 eur vs 28). Clean. Rooms facing Water havw a breathtaking romantic view. Walking distance to all of the attractions in Nice. Velo bleu (bicyle rental) has stations very close to it. Rooms are somewhat expensive. Private beach access not included. No free shuttle to and from airport (but #98 bus stops right in front of it and goes between airport and the Promenade for 6 euros).
The hotel staff were very nice and provided lots of advice on how to move around, what to visit etc. Room was very clean. There is no carpet and it is all white tile which made it look very bright and clean. The sea view and sunrise in the morning is worth every penny spent. Compared to many of the hotels we visited in France this was the best overall experience.
Overall style of the hotel and its superb location No parking - in a very busy and complex town
Location The noise from the road in a sea view room The breakfast far too expensive
small bathroom without practical furniture!
Beautiful hotel, good location, very friendly and efficient staff. The hydrotherapy pool is lovely
Food and Hotel were gorgeous. WiFi 7E for 30 mins in reception! No WiFi in bedrooms. Should be free in bedrooms.
great hotel ,great design , nothing
The hotel seems over-rated. It gives you the feeling of being old or overused or at least not well taken care of. Beyond the intention of design...some of the fittings seem...cheap... Plus, the idea of having the bathtub in the room could be special, but it is not practical. The lights are also not thought in a practical way...
the roses all around the place no service after 12 a.m. :(
Nice adjacent restaurant. Clean room with an bit odd, but original, design. Clearly visible that the hotel was renovated last year. Noise level in the room was a bit high due to the busy road outside.
The Incredible architecture, fantastic staff and superb rooms.
Very accomodating, not too big and felt personal. The service is exceptional and the spa is a must-do.
You can hear everything in the corridor. not good service at all. horrible breakfast
Beautiful design, good location for shopping The air conditioner didn't work well, it was very hot when we arrived at evening time. I called the reception two times, they promised to come and do something but they didn't, so we suffered the very hot room even in autumn time, +17 degree outside. They only fix it in the next morning.
Great location. Friendly staff. great room. All extars very expensive - eg breakfast or to have a drink in the bar (22 euros for one cognac !)
The hotel was very central and most of the staff were excellent.One guy was very rude. We only had one key for a shared room.Could not access the iron in evening before dinner and the receptionist did not do his best for us to get it. he was very abrupt saying they did not have one.The hairdryer was antiquated.very old and useless.need replacing.
best price in offpeak season.
Great location - quite close to train station. Clean hotel and had a room with a balcony overlooking Rue Jean Medicin. Friendly staff. Nothing in particular.
Super helpful staff
the friendlyness of the staff at the reception desk The rooms were not cleaned adequately every day, sheets were not changed and soap was not restocked every day. Also, internet access was a rip off pricewise.
The location to the shopping district. I think the decor and carpeting could be updated.
The hotel is very well located Staff at the reception could have been more helpful
staff was friendly no maintenance in the evening.
the ubication was excellent, the hotel is modern and the personal was very nice
upon checking in we reported the bed linen being dirty, it was noted and told it can only be tended to the next day, the next day the roomstaff still did not change it. I certainly won't stay at this hotel neither recomend it
good staff bedroom quite dark on second floor
Excellent location, friendly&helpful staff. -
Seaview rooms are great, exactly in front of the sea and with a modern furniture.
An excellent location and very helpful staff - they contacted a local museum for us to find out if it was open on a Public Holiday (it wasn't!) The buffet breakfast was a bit disappointing. It looked good but all the breads were very dry and chewy, the fruit didn't taste fresh and tea needs to be made with boiling water, not from a pot of warm water brought to the table.
Friendliness of staff. Reccomendations for excellent local restaurants UnInformed of Sarcozie's visit & therefore inability to get in or out of hotel
Nice and clean rooms, close to most Nice amenities, 2 car rentals in the same building (plus casino and police! dept) Common area is very small and required slight renovation, personnel could be more friendly
excellent situation for beach and right on promenade. service was good, friendly staff.
Location, location,location Clear specification of parking on web site
location was wonderful, just across the street from the beach and only a couple of blocks from the old town
Very convenient location. Room was spacious. Staff were good humoured and helpful. Bed was super comfy!
location excellent, quiet, very good maid service, plenty of towels the tv selection is not for english speakers, the shower did not have hot water all the time and hard to control, bathroom small for so called luxury hotel, no coffee or tea with room, no couch in room, staff was aloof
What I liked most about the hotel is that it is very central. You are near the sea and shopping and restaurants are also very close. Probably coming from a country that has a "smoking ban" I felt that the smell in the corridors was quite overpowering, and this was made worse by the fact that air freshner's were used. I feel the hotel needs some freshening up. Breakfast also was delivered incorrectly to us on our first morning. We did not get what we ordered and it was cold.
Location Poor view from room. No coffee or tea making acilities in the room.
location, price and atractivness I does not have a pool and the room was small.
The location, and room size. The hotel was very clean. We would have liked 2 chairs in the room. The bar area was basic and lack atmospere, it did not open until 6pm. The roof terrace was closed the whole time we were there.
we were given room 401. We liked it because it was a renovated room with a view of the sea. The bed was very good. Towels were good and the supplies (soap, shower cap, body cream etc...) in the toilet were good.
Location Everything else. Room to small old dirty, poor breakfast, service. My Deluxe room was much small than my friend's superior ?
Location Room size
Location Staff not very helpful. Very slow to deal with guests at reception
Excellent location for shops and beach. Very nice hotel. Room not quite matching external areas of hotel. Overall,very nice hotel. Rooftop restaurant/bar/seating area impressive. Room very average.
Staff and the room how ever we could not get a smoking room
Very nice stay.The view was beautiful.The personnel was courteous.Good food at Bleu Citron.
The swimming pool. Friendliness of the staff. The room was very comfortable. Prices for sunbed and towels are too expensive even when using the hotel swimming pool.
Room facilities was excellent, the pool area was lovely and the room service was very good. Two out of three concierge staff weren't particularly friendly, while one of them was excellent.
Staff I asked for a non smoking room.Our room smelt very bad of smoking.My wife is allergic to smoke.
Room and sea view was excellent. Both the breakfast outside seating and to a lesser extend the roof top restaurant were extremely unhealthy. the breakfast outside area has many dozens of pigeons everywhere, tables, sunbrellas and outer walls were full of pigeons.
Standard of service. Having to pay for sun lounger.
The roof-top terrace was a very relaxing area to sit. Also the conference meals and events were well organised. I found my bed too hard and the pillows too soft for my taste.
Overall nice hotel, very good facilities and friendly staff The colours of the furniture in my room at 3rd floor was not very pleasant, the floor of the bathroom was with noizy tiles and the air conditioned had no functioned properly
nice and clean hotel, pro staff expensive rooms, very expensive food, services, minibar etc. - not good value for the money. Besides, the hotel is quite far from the city centre (ca. 30 min walking)
roof top swimming pool,serviced very well by public bus service,complimentary bus service offered by hotel,opposite beach double beds do not exist,have to request that two singles be made up as double.,use of beds at rooftop pool had an extra charge!!!!!!!!!
Nice staff, clean and quite. Hmmm, a bit far from city, but bus is available!pillows could have been better
Fabulous location and views, excellent access to old city
nice view, good breakfast and restaurant
the location was ideal, the hotel very comfortable. In short, we were very satisfied.
It was right on the Esplanade D'Anglaise and very well located for everything.
Very friendly helpfull staff
close proximity of sea and shops/restaurants. grandeur of a hotel with history and tradition.
Interior and seaview, helpful receptionist Poor breakfast, leaking ceiling
Across the street from the beach, fairly good location with free internet. Excellent refurbished bathrooms. Staff was very friendly, particularly the bellman. Pictures on the hotel site do not match rthe ooms - stained rugs, old looking furniture, very hard beds and rough linens do make it a newly renovated room except for the wonderful bathrooms. However the size was perfect for two people and the rooms were clean.
The friendly and helpful staff and the fact that it was so near to the bay No
A spacious bedroom & bathroom A little strange there was not shower curtain or door in the bathroom
The Hotel was beautiful. Spacious, modern & clean rooms with a lovely rooftop pool. The tram outside the Hotel was handy to take you to all the areas of Nice. Would highly reccomend this Hotel.
very comfortable beds the fact that there were no tea/coffee making facilities
The location, close to the old district--shopping, restaurants, cafes. The Tram stop is directly in front of the hotel. The staff wasn't particularly friendly or helpful. The restaurant closed prior to the listed times. We had asked for a room with two beds and had one bed and one pull out couch that was not comfortable.
Very good food served lack of facilities,
Well designed spacious rooms. Nice bathrooms and products.
The hotel was clean, well located and had all the facilities we required in a well located city centre hotel.
spacious room, clean hotel, comfy
The Room, it was clean & Comfortable The Service (Room Service) price for the breakfast was too expensive
direct to the exhibition centre no internet connection
the bed everything apart from !!!!!!!!!!!! and including staff
It was situated in a lovely area of Nice. The garden was the main attraction. Also very peaceful.
Value for money, Location
We enjoyed the air conditioning and friendly staff
Location rusty water, hair on the bed, poor breakfast
Friendly & helpful team of staff. Good size room Good choice of breakfast Sofa bed was a bit uncomfortable
The friendliness of the hotel staff, they could not have been nicer especially when we were delayed returning home. The room was excellent and it was kept clean amd the maid service was excellent.
Enjoyed to quiet location, large cheerful rooms, delicious breakfast, relaxed atmosphere
The location is the only thing that is positive about this hotel, nothing else was positive during my stay The room was just dreadful. I stayed in room 317, and if you ever get this one when checking-in, try your best to get another one. The room looks like it wasn't meant to be a guest room. Apart from being very small, it is very dirty, most of the furniture is ugly and partly destroyed. You can tell that the Brice hotel hasn't spent a single euro in refurbishments over the past 20 years. The bed cover had cigarette holes and was particularly dirty, the small desk was sticky and must haven't seen a sponge for years, the chair is in a very, very bad shape, etc. By far one of the worst hotels I've stayed at in Europe.
the location of the hotel was convenient to both the train station and old town. the accomodations were fairly typical of that level hotel. the staff was friendly and helpful, particularly when i had issues making an international call - the front desk attendant went further than i would have expected to help me make that call. i was a bit surprised when i asked for restaurant recommendations that i was sent all the way to old town. when i asked for something closer, i was advised to go to the restaurants immediately next door, not because of their quality but because it was a "What the heck, they're decent and they are next door" issue. i guess i would appreciate the hotel having a few quality restaurants in the immediate vicinity that they recommend to their guests who don't want to walk all the way to old town for a meal.
Good, central location. If you are given room in the worse part of the hotel (we were) - no wi fi, no lift and zero noise protection - you can easily hear what TV channel your neighbour is watching.
Well positioned geographically and staff were very good - always polite, courteous and helpful. It did not appear to have bar facilities.
Nice, comfortable, clean, good central posizion, excellent staff.
the staff are helpful and the location is convenient Basic room, but not really expecting too much. Price of Petit-Dejuener was such that I didn't bother to have any.
The place where the hotel is situated. (Location). The bed was small and hard.
Internet was not available in the room, there is no elevator in the part of the hotel I stayed - at least they could have offered to carry our baggages to the room.
clean, comfortable beds, friendly and helpful staff, excellent location
Good location, reasonable price Wifi reception was poor
it's amaizing, in the middel of the center of Nice,the best staff and the prise is very good for that location.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The storage of luggage if waiting for your room or a late flight. The hotel stacks the luggage in the breakfast room which is open to anyone. It would be safer if locked away.
The location was perfect, right around the corner of the mainshopping street. Rooms were very French romantic, though could do with some polishing. Normal price is 200 a night, via booking only 60.
It is a good hotel and the proximity to the rail station is its strong point. Not very far from the promenade too.
friendly & helpfull staff. & 200m from main rail station & airport bus stop. no
No Free wifi
proximity to train station difficult street access; lack of nearby parking
very close to the train station, quick 5-10 min walk to the beach breakfast was horrible, the room was tiny and the reception staff not overly helpful. they charge extra to secure your belongings in a safe and extra to store your luggage after checkout
Very pleasant and friendly staff at the frontdesk. They provided maps and info about the city when we checked in. None.
Convenience to the City and the rail station. NA
I like the garden and the exterior architecture. I appreciate that the manager made me a small discount for not having air conditioning in the last day of the sejour. The staff promised three times they will provide me parking place with no result. No one of the receptionist was able to explain me how is the wireless internet working. The breakfast is very poor for the money you pay.
close to train station, reasonable price, walkable distance to many sight-seeing points... cramped washrooms...
The best part of this hotel is Mwa the front desk manager. She was wonderful to work with. I thought the rooms could use some minor upgrades: better bedspreads, pillows and sheets. Bathrooms need better soap, shampoo, etc. Cutting those corners costs a lot in experience.
Staff very helpful and happy to speak English. Good location just of the main Promende des Anglais and short walk to the old town. Room was a bit small and could her those in adjoining room (they were noisy though)
We had a large comfortable room. The hotel has a very convenient location close to the water and shopping area. The old town is also nearby. It is also close to many restaurants.
Close to the seaside. Very, very slow elevator
I liked the location of the hotel price. The hotel has clean enough.Close to the sea, the pedestrian area, restaurants and shops. I did not like the room was very small. The hotel has no wireless internet.
Perfect location. Dedicated staff. The bed was really uncomfortable. It was the only and major disadvantage of the hotel.
Hotel is clean, comfortable and friendly staff, not luxurious but for the price it was certainly great value. Location is superb, cafe's and shops on the doorstep, 5 mins walk from the Promenade de Anglais, old town ten mins away. Didn't have any food - went to the Boulangerie across the road. All in all an excellent little hotel - ticked all the boxes. We were on the first floor near the breakfast room, so if you hate noise it may not suit you - but I like the bustle of city hotels and this did not bother us at all.
Location Very small bedroom. Bed too soft. Breakfast had few choices
The room, the location and the price
Good location near the beach and shops etc. The bed was uncomfortable, the cooler didn't work properly in our room, we couldn't regulate it, and the nights were rather hot.
Location The terrible service. No room service in the night. Every time you ask reception for something - the answer we don't have it. They dont't have umbrellas during the rain, they don't have iron, they don't have food in the night. In the 4* stars hotel :(
Location, and the room layout My room was super noisy as it didn't have curtains. Couldn't sleep all night due to people partying outside. Came back to see my card being charged again for the stay even though I have already prepaid. Am disputing this with my credit card company right now.
I liked that it has own beach, is located close to most things tourist needs Its very noisy (cant really complain about that cause its good location isn't quiet), having problems with hot water, could have few more hangers
There is a great breakfast and the lobby is beautiful. It is right across the street from the beach.
Check in delay and room quality
-----------nothing to like..........I DO NOT RECOMMEND BEAU RIVAGE... My experience in this hotel:
Everything was beyond excellence, the hotel, the position, the welcome - everything The staff at the beach club were quite good but one in particular was quite surly.
This hotel was excellent as we took a disabled lady and nothing was too much trobule well done to the staff.Joyce Knight
Great location - Staff not always very helpful. One staff member in particular had a very poor command of English and was unable to give simple directions or answer basic questions.
This hotel located in the center of the city, next to sea, shopping, a lot of restaurants. Our room was really small. There was the dust everywhere.
The staff was friendly and helpful. I really liked the beach-rock themed remodel, especially the beach rocks encased in the floor of the bathroom. (I've been going to the Beau Rivage periodically for 20 years.) The hotel beach is quite nice, and lunch there is really good. The location is perfect, and Le Comptoir Bar next door is great for after dinner drinks and people watching. Not really. On my last night (the night before an early flight) they put me in a room overlooking a tiny urban courtyard (not too picturesque, like somewhere in New York), but we got there late and we had to leave before the sun rose, so it didn't really matter. It wouldn't have been a great room if I was there for a week of beach-going. Also, they took only nonrefundable cash for a spot at the beach, and there was a sea pollution warning that afternoon, and it started raining on us at the beach, so that didn't work out too well.
Modern hotel in a great location for Nice city centre and the beach For the standard and price there were a few minor flaws such as plaster falling off room ceiling, and shower being extremely user unfriendly.

How a Porn Star Retires: Aurora Snow on Life After Porn
I was certain that I would never want a family of my own. I wouldn't have entered pornif I had. I scoffed at the idea of being tied down in any way. But four years ago my brother was in a motorcycle accident, and I found myself thrust into the role of caregiver to my 4-year-old and 6-year-old nephews. My youngest nephew clung to me half asleep as I carried him from my car to his bedroom, and as I tucked him in, everything changed. I suddenly wanted a family of my own. That meant I needed to leave the adult business, but I wasn't even slightly prepared. Like most of my colleagues, I had never considered an exit strategy. Worse, I felt I had no other skill sets.
A day in the life of a porn star might, on the surface, seem like the life of a Hollywood A-lister. Shopping in Beverly Hills, getting $500 facials, and spending thousands on shoes that will rarely see the light of day. But take one look at performer contracts and you will notice some major differences. Hollywood actors have a union, health insurance, and even earn residuals on their projects. Porn actors have none of these things. Once the money jar is drained on fashion, facials, and shoes, that's it. There's no more. So retirement is a tricky concept.
I have spent the last several years trying to figure out how to extract myself from a business I've been in most of my adult life. At first I cut back on the number of scenes I did. I adjusted to life on a budget and then put myself back in school. Finally, I felt like I was on a new path. But school cost money. Now I had to consider taking on more scenes to pay for it. I'd come full circle. In a way, I was right back where I started. I fell into porn to pay for school and here I was again. I was caught in a cycle that seemed to have no end.
I had to hit the eject button.
One impulsive decision later, I was dragging 300 pounds of luggage in seven big bags through LAX all by myself. Not an easy task. Change isn't supposed to be easy. I moved to the Midwest, to a sparsely populated town in the middle of nowhere. My new neighbors were the four-legged kind that moo.
Once I was settled in, I began to panic. After all, I hadn't planned this. I am an adult performer—that's what I know how to do. Before porn I had other skills, but somewhere along the way I forgot what those were. I'd started believing I was only good at one thing. Over the years I had gathered content for my Web site. My version of a 401(k) was archiving content for my Web site, a business strategy that other girls continue to employ.

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer
ARLINGTON — They agree on most issues, including street repair, industrial growth and the best fire safety program for the city.
When Arlington City Councilman Ken Klein decided to give up his seat to run for Snohomish County Council, three people jumped at the chance to replace. All three say they are eager to serve their community in the nonpartisan job and glad they aren't running against an incumbent councilman.
Mike Hopson is a familiar face at City Council meetings and serves on the city's Airport Commission. Scott Keith serves on the city's Parks, Arts and Recreation Commission. And Jan Schuette is known to many people in the city for her work as chairwoman of the Arlington Relay for Life to benefit the American Cancer Society.
Under the state's top-two primary rules, only the two candidates receiving the most votes move on to the general eleciton. Primary election ballots mailed to voters this week are due back Aug. 6.
Hopson, a retired teacher, said his consistent attendance at council meetings during that past three years gives him a good sense of what is required of the City Council.
"I just enjoy local government and I really like Arlington," Hopson said. "I'm familiar with the issues and the personalities, and now I'm in a position to represent the average person, take seriously how I would spend their money and deal with the issues equitably and even-handedly."
Keith said Councilman Klein has endorsed him for office.
"I've always wanted to be active in my community, and with Ken leaving, I figured now would be the perfect opportunity to make a run for office. I want to support our parks and get free Wi-Fi in Legion Memorial Park downtown," Keith said. "I believe one of important things for voters to consider is that when a person is elected and he takes the oath of office, all aspects of the Constitution should be defended, including the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms in this city."
Schuette said she has been busy ringing door bells throughout Arlington.
"Last summer I started attending City Council meetings and I've been really impressed with the direction the city is going, including the work to attract aerospace business," Schuette said. "I want to be part of the vision of the elected officials and the city employees. With my 18 years of administrative and budget experience, my leadership skills and work ethic, and the extra time I have because I am retired, I would be a good fit."
The Transportation Benefit District Proposition on the ballot, which would add a 0.2 percent increase to the sales tax in the city for road repair, has the support of all three candidates.
All three are eager to see more economic development and more jobs in Arlington and the revenue that would benefit the city.
On the issue of whether Arlington should keep its own fire department or join a north Snohomish County regional fire district, Hopson and Keith said they are waiting to see the results of a study commissioned by the city to investigate the best fire safety program for Arlington.
A meeting to unveil the study results is set for 6 p.m. July 31 at Arlington High School.
"My instinct is that I would rather have a city fire department," Hopson said. "If it's a cost benefit to have a regional department, then OK. But if it's close, I would like to keep local control."
Schuette said she has been endorsed by the Arlington firefighters union.
"We need to return our fire and police personnel to an adequate level and provide these departments with up-to-date equipment," Schuette said.

Arby's Lends Pharrell Williams' Hat To Newseum
Listen to Pharrell Williams Radio on iHeartRadio
Pharrell Williams' famous Grammy night hat is making a comeback, this time at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. The journalism and news museum announced that Skateboard P's high-crowned Vivienne Westwood hat will be on display beginning Friday through October 26th.
The fast food restaurant chain Arby's is loaning the hat to the museum after purchasing it for $44,000 back in March. During the Grammy Awards, Arby's sparked a social media firestorm after noting that Pharrell's hat resembled the restaurant's logo.
The Newseum's senior vice president of exhibits and programs, Cathy Trost, says the hat "represents the power of social media to connect people around the globe."
Our hat has found a temporary home. See it exclusively at the @newseum starting on 8/22. #HatattheNewseum https://t.co/ofncD6CREU

Memphis - (Short Story)
"Oh Ptah. You know I didn't want you to go. You died before you saw the overthrow of the Pharaoh. His son is now the new ruler. My love for you has turned me into a poet and I know that true love stories never have endings. Your love will remain with me forever. I pray that one day we will be united in a better place."
Off to the Land of the Percopotomus - (Short Story)
"As dusk fell, the orange moon rose in the maroon sky. An eagle spread its wings and flew off into the horizon. Stars twinkled and one seemed to wink at me. Hardy and I kept moving until we grew weary of our long trek. I heard the trickle of water and steered my ride towards the direction of the sound. Sure enough, a small spring bubbled up out of the ground. I tethered Hardy and we made camp for the night. Over an open fire, I brewed a cup of coffee in my old tin pot. Hardy munched on clumps of brush and I chewed on some jerky Mentor had packed for me. Visions of what a percopotomus looked like danced in my head and soon, to the tune of wild birds and stars blinking of wonders to come, I fell asleep."
Off to the Land of Eponyms - (Short Story)
"I am not sure how much time has passed, but I am crossing off the days by etching marks on my dungeon wall. It is dank and dark here."
The Pied Mayor of Abad :: Based on true events :: - (Short Story)
"The sound of party horns tooted through the night air. Ham began to sob. All his dreams vanished in a puff of ashes. He would not be mayor, he would not ever find Mrs. Right, and his nose still dripped."
Rites of Passage :: Nonfiction :: - (Short Story)
Growing up in Locust Point, just after WWII, along South Baltimore's harbor, had some special memories for me. One of them was learning how to swim in the waters of the harbor. The foot of Hull Street, where the water was at least 32 feet deep, and murky as heck and full of chemicals, was where the local kids went swimming. For some, like myself, it was for the very first time.
My Honor Killing - (Short Story)
One summer day after work, I stopped by my mother's house. "Mother, I miss my boys so much. I have to be with them," I said. I saw the color of her face change.

Topic: Doctor moving to Cleveland Clinic
I just got a note from my oncologist (Alok Khorana) saying he was taking a new job at the Cleveland Clinic and is leaving March 1st. I am not sure why this is making me feel so odd. While I think he is a great doctor and is very nice, I am not sure he was my favorite doctor on my team. It just feels weird that when i go back for my next scan in June he won't be there.
His nurse practitioner and nurse are remaining behind but I am not sure I have a connection with them either. Fortunately the doctor that I will be seeing (Aram F. Hezel) published this article
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1 … ABA.d04t04
entitled "Development of molecularly targeted therapies in biliary tract cancers: Reassessing the challenges and opportunities" So I guess he knows what he is doing.
Not earth shattering information but just thought I'd share.
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based only on my personal experience as a cancer survivor. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.
