City campaign rules favour incumbents
Trust in civic officials is low following the fire hall fiasco. It is therefore smart politics for former councillor Gord Steeves to enter the race at this time and give voters an early glimpse of a credible alternative. His campaign launch at the Qualico Family Centre was nicely polished. There is only one problem: he is about half-a-year too early to the party.
Coun. Paula Havixbeck correctly pointed out that Winnipeg election rules prohibit incurring election expenses until the campaign officially begins. Steeves, who probably should know better, was quoted by CBC News as saying "I don't think I broke any rules. But if I did, the rules are antiquated and they should be changed."
Related Items
Steeves is correct. In fact, in addition to calling the rules antiquated, he should have called them "unfair." In every respect, city election law stacks the deck in favour of incumbents and handicaps new entrants.
Under Part 3, Division 2 of the City of Winnipeg Charter, general elections are held every four years in October. The mayoral campaign periods are tightly defined as beginning on "May 1 in the year of the election and ending on March 31" in the following year. For councillors, the campaign period begins two months later on June 30.
Let's dive into this a little deeper. The charter also provides that candidates cannot formally register until the campaign period begins. And it also says that "no individual, other than a registered candidate, and no person acting on the individual's behalf, shall, for the purposes of electing the individual, (a) solicit or accept a contribution; (b) borrow money; or (c) incur an expense."
Oddly, there does not appear to be any rule that strictly prohibits campaigning prior to election period, in of itself. But in reality, there is no practical way to campaign without spending some money (blogging or Facebook sites aside).
The rules place newcomers at a distinct disadvantage. Unlike politicians from registered federal or provincial parties, civic politicians are on their own. They cannot perpetually fundraise or campaign meaningfully year-round. They cannot effectively organize or build their brand until six months before an election (four months in the case of a councillor). These things take a lot of time and money.
By comparison, incumbents are laughing. They get to actively make political announcements and dominate the headlines as civic leaders. They can spend and advertise freely in their ward, apparently without any meaningful rules, using a well-padded annual expense account. They can also count on incumbency to give them a head-start in building a brand and attracting donations.
Incumbents also get the most generous of head-starts: they can, after October, once re-elected, continue to fundraise until March 31 of the following year.
Newly elected, they can take advantage of their secured positions of power and replenish their war chest for use in the next general election. Then, maybe instead of David vs. Goliath, the story will be about Gord vs. Sam.
Winnipegger Andrew Moreau specializes in board governance and regulatory compliance.

Whether you are a medical gadget start-up or a nicely established incumbent, LSO has the production functionality and the skilled workers to provide you with a turnkey resolution to all of your manufacturing needs and more.
OEM's manufacturing system is made up of small work groups with written work instructions where WIP is carefully scheduled, managed, and monitored.
Our US and China project management groups work in sync to keep your projects on schedule. Changing industrial designs to allow for manufacturability or just updating CAD models to be present we will supplement your inside engineering workers or services.
We then develop our in-course of Quality Instructions as pointers via manufacturing, finally resulting in our Final Inspection reports previous to cargo.
Business process outsourcing (BPO) refers to outsourcing arrangements when whole enterprise functions (similar to Finance & Accounting , medical cables, Customer Service, etc.) are outsourced.
Examples of manufacturing offshoring include the manufacture of electronic elements in Costa Rica , production of apparel, toys, and client goods in China, Vietnam and so forth. It was characterised primarily by the transferring of factories from the developed to the developing world. Value pressures are large; the distribution channel from retail to manufacturer is brutal.
Once a producer has determined which products or elements can be outsourced, the startup period might be full of hurdles.
On the identical time, we"re in a position to add jobs right here at our plant and keep both units of jobs right here within the states, " provides Lehman. Now they go abroad to purchase or make products and parts to ship back to the United States.
The brand new investments will not be complementing domestic manufacturing; they're replacing it. The mere indisputable fact that a variety of firms are doing it would not make it sensible.
military cable made overseas are much less more likely to meet specs, so high quality costs could also be greater. As quickly as a brand new supply of merchandise is discovered, the U.S. authorities moves in and imposes quotas, forcing the American importers to maneuver on to other islands.
We spice up outsourcing from Mexico. As extra companies go offshore, more jobs are lost and the trade deficit worsens. At greatest, it's merely a brief-term tactical move that buys time for companies to revive their competitive well being at house.
U. S. factories could face tough growth decisions if demand for his or her items approaches in-house manufacturing capability. When choosing between constructing new crops right here and offshoring to existing Asian factories, offshoring presents a lower danger.
One of the best strategy to successful sourcing from Asia is to enlist the assistance of a knowledgeable organization with boots on the ground in Asia. This help must be from a company that knows native enterprise practices and enterprise tradition, and maintains good relations with succesful factories.
Probably the most useful suggestions of the Council was that the federal tax code be modified to allow coaching of superior manufacturing workers to be a depreciable expense beneath Section 179 of the tax code. Choose the very best electronics manufacturer regardless of nation, for your specific need.
We are situated in the Pacific Northwest, near Portland Oregon for simple access to the vast majority of the Pacific Rim sourcing nations.

Ground cover for edge of pond
I'm looking for an evergreen ground cover for the edge of my 1 acre pond. The east side is sunny, and the west side is mostly shady in the afternoons. I need something that would hide a 2 inch white PVC irrigation supply pipe that circles the edge of the pond. One possibility would be to move a large batch of Liriope monkey grass that we originally originally planted as a border around a bed at the house, but has taken over the entire bed. I figure it would be less a problem if its growth is restrained by the pond on one side and the lawn mower on the other. I would prefer a native plant, but I don't know of any evergreens that would be as vigorous and would stand up to the droughts we have had the last few years in east central Alabama. Any suggestions?
I've been researching this very topic. I have a pond that has a berm rather than rock. I also want it to withstand occasional foot traffic. I can tell you some of the things I'm considering to give you a start. I already have lamium, easy to take cuttings and root. It's supposed to be best in the shade but if it's an established clump, it'll spread out into the sun. The reason I'm considering this as first choice is because when I moved during the fall, some lamium pieces ended up in the pond. When I was cleaning the pond in the spring, these pieces came up green and lively. Unfortunately, they did not immediately root into the ground. I've since learned to be careful transplanting things rooted in water to being in ground. Thing is, lamium is one of the few things that can grow on the dry side of the liner and will grow out over the edge into the water. I don't expect it to float well, but it will cover the edge nicely. A good ground cover for the shady area is creeping jenny. It LOVES laying out over the water. Mazus is another favorite, but not evergreen. My searches have found various rubus types of groundcover, said to be evergreen and will grow in your zone, lucky you. Most that I've seen aren't hardy in my zone 6 area. If you don't mind that the groundcover doesn't go into the water, check out heaths/heathers. You can have different ones and truly have year round blooms. I have helleborus doing nicely in a partially shaded area. There's also liriope and vinca. I don't know what type of an edge you have, but if it's a natural pond where plants can be dry and then swampy, check out lists of bog plants. OH, and bog rosemary might be a good choice. There are also various water mints that could spread nicely and stay around the edge. Do NOT, EVER EVER feel desperate enough to plant the plain green type of water celery. It will take over, it will fill your pond. OH, for the sunny areas, plant iris. They will fill out and the green leaves might stay greener for your zone. If you like day lilies, they love being wet.
Hope that gives you some ideas.

soil mix for potatoes
I'm planting a potato bin of sorts (just an oval of chicken wire, with straw around the edges to keep the soil contained within the 'bin'), but I'm having a hard time deciding what to fill it with. I've seen so many different suggestions on GW and throughout the web. I know it needs to drain well and be light/fluffy/not compacted, but I'd love to hear a tried and true 'mix' with proportions.
I'm thinking some combination of topsoil, peat moss, pine bark mulch (as in 5-1-1), mushroom compost - or skip the compost and just use some of the DynamitePlus CRF that I have here from my 5-1-1 mix.
Also, how thick a layer of soil mix should be placed down below the seed potatoes? 6"? 12"?
*I'm using sprouted, organic red potatoes from the grocery store as my seed potatoes if that makes any difference on depth, etc.
If it is open on the bottom, it is a little more a raise bed than a container, which I think means you can be more flexible, creative. Your own mixture of soil and compost, or a planting mix, or a garden soil, etc.
FWIW, I just watched and liked this video on more isolated big grow bags, and you'll see the University of Illinois Extension recommending a soil, compost, sand mix. (probably 1:1:1)
(I think I'm planning the cheap plastic grow bags, commercial style, for my next year's garden.)

Here is another video on potato in a wire tower. Lots of similar out there, search "potato tower"

Geoff Baker covers the Mariners for The Seattle Times. He provides daily coverage of the team throughout spring training, and during the season.

Bavasi hired by Reds
Posted by Geoff Baker
No, not as a general manager. But Bill Bavasi is going to be a special assistant to GM Walt Jockety with the Reds. This does not surprise me. Many former GMs get hired around the game. The Mariners had one in Dan Evans before he left to become a head honcho with a scouting firm. The first GM I ever covered, Gord Ash, was run out of Toronto in similar fashion to Bavasi this year. But Ash has thrived as an assistant GM with the Miwaukee Brewers for several years now.
Not every baseball executvie is cut out to succeed as a GM. But that does not make them any less of an executive. Bavasi is respected around the game for his time put in when it comes to scouting and development. And don't forget. Hire him and eventually, you might get to bring over some of the people who used to work for him in Seattle. Been known to happen. There are a number of top people in this organization, Bob Fontaine being one of them. I'm not speculating about anything. Just saying stuff happens.
Bavasi had been in this game too long to be jobless for any length of time. Here's to wishing him best of luck.

i dont wish him any luck at all. he ruined our team.
Posted by Chris from Bothell
4:29 PM, Aug 08, 2008
Can someone remind me of his great scouting and development achievements? I'm serious, I can't remember them. are there specific players he directly found? Is his experience largely in building talented scouting organizations? Or is his rep largely due to mis-attributing the Angels' 02 WS success to him?
Posted by Sweet Lou
4:32 PM, Aug 08, 2008
Too bad a team from our divsion didn't hire him! He is fine as a Farm Director - a terrible GM.
BTW - good one Ungruntled!

4:33 PM, Aug 08, 2008
Bavasi can take Fontaine and whoever else as long as Bob Engle remarins. Come on. if Bavasi want's to take the scouts who thought Vidro, Batista, Silva, Reitsma, Weaver and Ramirez were going to be good, then that's even better.
I really don't see why Engle would leave when he was here before Bavasi and really has nothing to do with that guy. So say what you want a chunk of key players ( You know somebody like Felix and Ichiro ) for this team and organiztion actually are due to Engle and his staff and not Fontaine and Bavasi.

you're worried about him taking some of the front office people??? who the hell cares ?!? could he please, please, please take Armstrong and Lincoln, too. the masses should send the management packing to the hinterlands for re-education and or summary execution...Mao would be proud!!!

Aren't the M's still on the hook for his salary, or does a firing act to tear up his contract?
Posted by matt
5:02 PM, Aug 08, 2008
This is the sort of lame analysis you get from sites like USSM (http://ussmariner.com/2005/12/29/papelbon-and-lester/) [stating it would be foolish for the M's to trade Reed to the Red Sox for Pepelbon or Lester]
It would be nice if the analyses and projections for players adopted a dose of humility, since all the numbers in the world will not be able to absolutely predict future performance in baseball.

Great--maybe he can get Lincoln and Armstrong hired by the Reds!

"Bavasi had been in this game too long to be jobless for any length of time."
The only reason he's even in the game of baseball is his father. The guy is a horrible, horrible GM and honestly, it's nearly impossible to imagine him as being any better in a different post.
Posted by DownonStrikes
8:04 PM, Aug 08, 2008
Why? The Reds are gonna tank big time.
Bill Bavasi did the Mariners harm and I do not wish him luck or good will. He is a jerk with connections.
The Cincinnati fans should be trembling.

Maybe we can trade Washburn and Silva to the Reds now! Heck, we could sweeten the deal and throw in Vidro.

Bavasi doesn't need luck. He needs a freaking miracle.
Posted by teegee
8:35 PM, Aug 09, 2008
Bavasi set this franchise back five years with his deals. He got his start because of his family's baseball legacy, not from his "talent". He is to the Mariner's as what Howard Schultz was to the Sonics.

They're still bruisers. AD carries didn't stop being AD carries when the meta shifted to AD bot being better than AD mid.
but some of those are tanks
They build really tanky while still doing good damage output.

The problem here is that every single one of them gets outlaned by Ranged AD, or they jungle, which is pretty much all melee bruisers are good for.
Not to mention that none of them build 1 dmg item.
And? You didn't say anything anyone disagrees with...
oh you wanna die
i wouldnt really consider aatrox a bruiser, hes more of a melee carry like trynd. i think shyvana is in a good spot right now, along with renekton.

They're built support tank in the jungle.
That means they're tanks, not bruisers.

We're Sure You Have a Good Reason for Taking Pics With Your iPad But, No. Just No.
Picture it: you're traveling, and about to head out on a tour that will visit photo-worthy landmarks. What do you pack to bring? Your digital camera, which fits in your pocket? Your iPhone, which already has an internal camera that's ten times better than the one you took to prom 10 years ago?
Or perhaps your iPad, which has a camera of equal quality, but is packaged inconveniently in an unwieldy machine that requires its own equally unwiedling carrying case that you inevitably fumble with as you try to open to expose the camera lens?
If you answered the last: UGH.
There are two kinds of travelers in the world: those who travel everywhere with their iPads, and those of us who loathe them because — well, we're trying to enjoy the vista of this lovely tropical waterfall, and you keep block our view by holding up something the size of a street sign.

Paris Cracks Down on Cutesy 'Love Locks' Vandalism
Travelers to Paris this winter (and from now on) will enjoy improved views as a popular form of tourist graffiti has been cleared from bridges over the Seine River.
The "No Love Locks" movement of earlier this year, which protested the practice of attaching a heavy-duty lock to a bridge rail to "secure" a relationship, has been successful. While gaining signatures for the petition, No Love Locks estimated that the Pont de Arts Bridge alone was covered with 93 metric tons of extraneous metal. Aside from their being unsightly, the heavy use of these locks is a problem for the structural integrity of the historic bridges.
Are they art? No. Are they romantic? Maybe for the fleeting minute you attach a lock and then leave the bridge, making its clean-up Paris' problem. "It's vandalism, and it's taken the ambiance away from the bridges."
City officials began a mass removal of the locks in September, replacing them with plastic panels over the bridge architecture to prevent tourists from attaching more. And the difference is definitely noticeable.

Venice is Tired of Noisy Rolling Luggage, May Fine Tourists Up to $620
Remember how we said that luggage is the worst? Yeah, well the whole of Venice, Italy agrees and may even be successful with a new proposal to outlaw rolling baggage.
As there are only two ways to get around Venice (by foot or by boat), tourists who haven't lined their pockets with enough cash for a private water taxi transfer typically have to hoof it along canals, down alleys, and over bridges to reach their accommodation, lugging their baggage the whole way.
2013 was a record year for Venice tourism; La Serenissima welcomed nearly 60,000 daily visitors on average. The Venice Times actually figured out that each Venetian who lives in the historic center (excluding the islands) is "'in charge' of about 354 tourists per day." Compare that to Florence's 22 tourists per resident, and it's obvious Venice is a little crowded. Each visitor naturally arrives with some belongings, and that's exactly the problem.

What Not to Do in Vienna: The Top 5 Tourist Mistakes
We're tempted to describe Vienna as Europe's other Paris, but that would definitely fall under the "what not to do" title since Vienna is wholly itselfa wondrous city built with a heady mix of majesty and cultural creativity. Thinking Vienna can be seen with a quick trip of 3 or 4 days while en route to Prague or Budapest is a common mistake, but visitors put themselves at risk of permanent infatuation with any length visit.
As with any world capital, there are time- and money-saving tricks as well as special nuances of etiquette to help you best enjoy your stay. So without further ado, here is the Jaunted guide of What Not To Do In Vienna: The Top 5 Tourist Mistakes.

Copenhagen in '36 Hours' Video Successfully Makes Us Want to Go to Copenhagen
Video travel logs - especially those created by major media organizations trying to check the online travel journalism box - almost always fall somewhere in between annoying and really annoying. Most of the time they're simply uninteresting, and then watching one is the equivalent of being forced to sit through a slideshow about somebody's family vacation. Every once in a while they're fascinating, and then you end up feeling the same kind of wanderlust envy that you get when your friends post Facebook pictures from the Caribbean.
So we were kind of surprised when the recent New York Times video on Copenhagen travel turned out not to suck. The spot - and the attached article - are part of the Times' "36 Hours" series, which mixes straight travel reporting with - and now we're quoting their press release - "three-day itineraries for exploring cities worldwide." We've embedded it below.

Four Simple Rules for Not Ending Up on the 'Passenger Shaming' Site
The struggle is real.
Flying in Economy Class isn't the steak dinner and ample legroom experience it once was, and travelers have adapted to the lessening space and tightened liberties remarkably well; that is, until you view the Passenger Shaming Facebook page (and it's not just limited to Economy).
Started by a flight attendant in early 2013, the page has amassed over 200,000 "likes" of the submitted photos of passengers behaving badly. It's spread to Instagram and Twitter, not to mention spawned a small line of T-shirts.
Although it began with the aim of allowing cabin crew to vent frustration with ill-mannered and unhygienic flyers, it now welcomes image submissions from anyone and anywhere. Some have even spotted themselves among the shamed; as you can imagine, they're not flattered by the attention.
In order to stay out of the Hall of Passenger Shame, follow these few simple rules of in-flight etiquette:

'Humans of New York' Takes on the Airport
Humans of New York, the photography project with nearly 10 million Facebook fans, 1.6 million Instagram followers, and a bestselling book, went international this season. The man behind HONY, Brandon Stanton, headed out with UNICEF on a 50-day trip through 10 countries, designed to apply his style to a broader (and certainly more war-torn) base.
HONY also has another current international connection, as KLM has been inspired enough to adapt the Humans of New York style in the creation of their "Citizens of the Airport" (COTA) series. Through portraits and small interviews, the airline gets up close with individual travelers at Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport to learn a little of their life around each particular journey.

Have You Visited Enough Countries to Qualify for the 'Travelers' Century Club?'
It's fun to be part of a club, sharing thoughts and experiences with new friends. After all, no man is an island. And the Travelers' Century Club is one we can really get behind since it promotes travel to more than just the usual countries; the Club is especially focused on reaching the most remote islands and once-in-a-lifetime corners of the Earth.
Our planet has about 195 sovereign states, which naturally makes for a lot of passport stamps if you're focused on visiting them all. Fortunately membership to the TCC can be had for less; to join, it only takes a round total of 100 visits.

Flytographer.com finally has a solution for travelers who are struggling for selfies, consistently disappointed with vacation photos, or feel like they're not living in the moment with an eye to a viewfinder. That solution is to book a local vacation photographer who will tag along to craft an informal photo shoot in your destination.

Is Eating McDonalds While Traveling Really So Bad?
Here's an unpopular thought: McDonalds is a necessary evil for travelers.
For all the stress on experiencing cities "like a local" and seeking out the best, freshest cuisine for the most reasonable price, there is something to be said for the reliability of good ol' McDs, as we recently found out for ourselves in that super rich, super small country of Monaco.
Seeking an alternative to the pricey menus and lengthy meals of the tiny principality, we headed to their one McDonalds, in the newest part of Monaco, Fontvieille. Here we found the real populationyacht crew, retail workers, policemenordering up 7 Euro meals and munching on Big Macs with a view of Fontvieille's harbor.

I am not the way I used to be
I am stronger and wiser as you can see;
Remember my words, my father said
As he cradled me up and laid me to bed;
You will someday be a lady with a life of your own
With someone to love you as I have shown;
I will always be here to lend a hand
To help you and guide you when you don't understand;
Somehow I believed his words I'd see
He was not the father he promised to be;
Instead he was a man who did not care
My mother was my father because he was never there;
I often cry myself to sleep
My father's love was not mine to keep;
I miss my father I won't lie
Not a single hug or one last goodbye;
He is now a man free to roam
Not worrying of his family or coming home;
He walked out of my life and never turned my way
Oh, why Daddy, why didn't you stay?

New Photos of Sandra Bullock With Baby Louis Emerge
According to an eyewitness in Austin, Sandra was "showing the baby off to just random people in stores."
"Sandra was in a really happy mood," the witness added.
One local store owner told Us that Sandra is "such a natural with [Louis] and so easygoing and chill ... He's such a big boy!"
Another source explained that it's good for Bullock to have Louis to get over her marriage to Jesse James. "Having Louis around is perfect therapy for what she went through with Jesse."
The Oscar winner filed for divorce from James when several of his extra-marital affairs came to light just days after she took home her Academy Award for 'The Blind Side.'
Bullock stayed quiet about the experience for weeks, opening up to PEOPLE at the end of April about her the downfall of her relationship and of course her adoption of baby Louis.

Miss Bullock whatever your decisions are for your and your baby I wish you health, happiness, peace, joy and love.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy anni
She is helping out a child, however, he will know nothing of his heritage. How will he grow up to be a strong, proud black man? What if a black woman adopted a white baby and dressed him in 'fubu' and put dreads in his hair, and had him speak nothing but gettofabulous. People would have a fit.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy Nathan
Life is so lonely. I'm a doctor, 31, rich but still single. It's hard to get a girlfriend in my town,m ost of them like my money more than like me. I just want to find my true love. so i uploaded my hot photos on M-E-E-T-R-I-C-H-E-S(C/-O/-M) under the name of Nathan561. Maybe you are the one who i'm looking for!!!
- Thursday 20 May
Where are the black parents willing to adopt? Who's showing all those black children in foster care or fatherless homes or no parent homes how to "a strong, proud black men"?
Louis needs a loving home. Sandra Bullock can provide that. That's what matters.
Oh, for what it's worth, I'm black woman.
- Wednesday 26 MayBy Spin Dr
I have a problem with people who think that having a baby is "good therapy" for your personal problems. I know Sandra didn't say this.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy myviewok
I wish her the best also.It would be great if the media would get the hell out her life and get the camera's out her face.Let the woman and her child live their life.I only read the story because it's here.If you stop writing them.I would move on and read something else.A lot of us would!Progress is needed in reporting what's news worthy.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy Marlene
The baby is cute a baby is a baby they are all cute. She was wise to pick a boy, because if it was a girl she would need help with the overly curly hair.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy jaypuck11
jesse james.....i feel for you but with a name like jesse james
what did you think would happen? the guys an idiot..
- Wednesday 19 MayBy KSLO69
I'm sorry, adopting a baby is definately not appropriate therapy for dealing with a break-up. At least not in the real world.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy Melissa
Sandra did not adopt Louis to ease the pain of her breakup. Her and Jesse started their adoption process FOUR years ago, and Louis was brought into their lives back in January...they just kept it quite. Obviously, the universe knew that Sandra and Louis were going to need each other. I think it's awesome.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy Tam
yes I'm sure that's why she is adopting. DUH
- Wednesday 19 MayBy jfk
Where have you been....the breakup happened "after" the adoption.
Sandra wasn't aware of Jesse's cheating until after the adoption.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy marianne
Uh duh, she started the adoption proceedings 4 years ago, so the adoption wasnt a crutch for the break up. Get your facts straight before you speak
- Wednesday 19 MayBy SweetP
If you bothered to read ALL that is reported, The baby was adopted BEFORE THE BREAKUP, NOT BEING USED AS "APPROPRIATE THERAPY". The media should get out of her face, as well as negative people. It's hard enough to deal with one's personal problems, w/o thousands of big mouths and nosies butting in.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy Eileen
Apparently, the baby was adopted before the blow up with Jesse. I am happy that she has his now to love and keep her busy as she adjusts to her new life as a Mom and no longer a wife. It is always hard, but so much more so when the whole world knows and is watching.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy Joanne
Ditto to what Melissa said. The adoption procedure went on for four years prior to the breakup. And January 2010 was the month they received the paperwork for the adoption to go thru. Sandra received all her awards from Jan. thru March then the unhappy problems began. She already had Louis in her LOVING CARE..this was just fate...
- Wednesday 19 MayBy Jill
She already adopted the boy before she found out about her sorry husband.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy MAGOOS
I am glad that Sandra Bullock is resuming life and introducing her baby son to the world around him. Good luck for the future, Ms. Bullock.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy ak2010
The best revenge is moving on with your life and truly being a happier person. Sandra looks like she's heading that way...good for her!!!!
- Wednesday 19 MayBy bonitapier
Congratulations, Sandra! You are a beautiful person both in and out. You have a good heart. And one day, you will be blessed with a husband that will truly love you and your baby! God Bless you and your baby!!!

"very nice price if you re looking for cheap hotel"
very simple, and cozy rooms, the location of the building is okay not too close neither too far from the train stationGenuine Expedia guest review
"Convenient location good price"
Room is small but very clean Convenient location. Very basic, not for honeymoon but comfortable place to rest. Good breakfast for extra $9Genuine Expedia guest review
Fine hotel, small rooms, a little hard to find but otherwise OkGenuine Expedia guest review
"Decent hotel for the price"
Liked the location. 12 minute walk and 5 minute walk to two JR stations. 3 to 5 minute walk to subway line. Lots of good restaurants in the area. Hotel was clean. Bed was small, but it's japan so that's normal. Coin laundry is available. decent breakfast for about 900 yen.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel, close to metro station"
Mitsukoshimae is a high quality place, alot of restaurants and shopping centers.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Sleepless at Smile"
Typical Buisness Hotel in Tokyo. Very small room. Unfortunately could not sleep due to workmen, banging and slamming the building every morning. Maybe an isolated incident???Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Despite the room size,,"
The hotel is located pretty close to the station (get off at Mitsukoshimae metro station, A3 exit and just cross the street and walk straight). There are several local restaurants around the hotel, and also a Family Mart not too far away. The room was okay, despite being very small. I mean, super small even compared to Japanese size standard. But, for […] this price, I wouldn't expect anything more. Good price for such a good location and quality. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Location in Tokyo"
Nicely located with multiple subways Mitsukoshimae and train station Kanda. Great breakfast for a small charge. Friendly and helpful staff. (Then again I speak Japanese)Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"i loved it."
Good high class location. A walk away from the train. 15 min walk from the imperial gardens!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Small room in a central location"
Good little hotel in a very convenient location, close to Mitsukoshimae subway station (which has practical Ginza and Hanzomon lines), and only a stop away from the JR light rail service. The nearby Nihombashi station connects all the way to the Narita airport. The Tokyo station is some 15 minute walk. Overall very convenient to transportation, no need […] to take taxis at all. Tip: when going to Akihabara, don't go to Akihabara subway station, go to Suehirocho instead, closer. Hotel is on narrow backstreet with good small restaurants and cafes (appears on old maps as Kamogawa Inn). For upscale dining Coredo center is 2 blocks away. For upscale shopping the famous Mitsukoshimae department store is also 2 blocks. Several 24 hours convenience store nearby for late night snack. A 7-11 is 3 blocks away if you need to use your VISA or Mastercard in an ATM ($100 withdrawal minimum). Banks very close. The room itself is nothing fancy, very small. Good for one person. Provided fridge, heater, AC, small desk, hot plate with pot, TV (did not use). Room walls show signs of wear. No wifi; staff provided ethernet cable for high speed access. Friendly staff speaking English and knowledgeable about area. They even gave me an umbrella to use on a rainy day. Coin operated laundry, vending machines. The only real complaint is even if you are in a non-smoking room, smell may enter your room from hallway. Otherwise not bad. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Near Tokyo Station, on Ginza line"
This was our "savior" hotel after a rough experience at a hostel in Asakusa where there was absolutely no heat …anywhere. We transferred to this hotel and were incredibly surprised and oh so pleased with the quality for your buck. The hotel staff were very helpful (always providing maps with their directions) and it was located down a street with great […] shops and hidden restaurants. We loved the fact that it was directly on the ginza line, which made it easy to see our top two spots - Shibuya, and Shinjuku. Overall, would definitely stay again! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"hard to access but nice"
Basically stayed here overnight between coming back up from Osaka until my flight out the next day. The room was nice and clean and they had good internet. The bathroom was tiny though...The biggest problem I had was that the hotel was kind of a ways away from anything like restaurants or attractions. The Shin-Nihonbashi station is nearby, but there's […] no escalator or elevators at the station so be careful if you're travelling with a lot of heavy suitcases (like I was). I ended up catching a taxi to the train station after checking out so that I wouldn't have to worry about stairs again. Also, very important, when looking on Google Maps for the hotel, look it up under the old name "Kamogawa Inn". Staff is really friendly and helpful and they speak good English. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
This was a very nice hotel (for the cost). I only spent 1 night here but the room was clean and it was decently close to the station. The bed was a little firm but this is my only complaint.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location"
This hotel is very small, but it is reasonable if your planning to stay for a couple days to explore Tokyo. good location, but kind of hard to find from the Handa station if you do not have GPS.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Worth for the location"
Stayed at Smile Hotel for my two-week honeymoon in Japan and while it's not the romantic hotel we envisioned, the convenience of its location, friendly English-speaking staff, and useful amenities like internet, laundry, and vending machines made it worth it. Sightseeing around Tokyo was easy with the hotel located fifteen minutes away walking-distance […] from Tokyo Station and a two-minute walk across the street from Mitsukoshi's subway stop and department shopping area. Our one minor complaint was after a long and tiresome day of walking, the beds and pillows were hard and stiff. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"locationwise is good, hotel employees are friendly"
the hotel is located at a convenient place, but at night time, their guests are too crowded, and there were no security to stop them from bothering the othersGenuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent location in east-central Tokyo."
I used to live in Tokyo I know the city very well. I come back several times each year. I stayed here for the first time in October 2013. This was my second stay, in early December 2013. From now on, I will only stay at this hotel whenever I visit this city. When I made my prepaid booking on Expedia.com, the no-smoking room I water was available for […] only the first night, then I had to switch to a smoking room. However, upon arrival, the check-in staff easily made a change so that I could have a no-smoking room for the full duration of my week-long stay. I still had to change rooms after one night, which was no inconvenience to me at all. It turned out that I was moved to the room right next door to my first night's room! I do speak Japanese fluently, which helps a lot, but the front desk staff speak enough basic English to help foreign guests with their basic needs. The washing machines and clothes dryers on the eight floor are very convenient. If you're going to stay more than a few days, you can do your laundry and pack less. Save room in your suitcases for all the gifts you'll buy at nearby Mitsukoshi department store and at nearby shops specializing in food specialities from various parts of Japan. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"First time at this hotel in Tokyo"
I go to Tokyo several times each year, speak Japanese and have lived and worked in the city before, so I know it well. I've stayed at other low-price hotels, but this one met all my needs. Excellent location close to a stop on the convenient Ginza subway line. Situated in a cozy side street that has numerous low-cost and medium-priced restaurants. Right […] next to the popular Mitsukoshi department store, which is convenient for buying gifts to take back home. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Easy access to Ginza and Northern Tokyo"
The hotel location makes easy access to the Mitsukoshimae metro station and a short ride to either Ginza or Asuka in Northern Tokyo. We found the room clean and comfortable and all the staff friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice stay"
Decent for the price. Only complaint was the AC was pointed directly on the bed and gave us a cough. Couldn't get it to turn down but definitely didn't want it turned off. Beds super hard. Even for Asian standards.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Budget hotel in Nihombashi"
Not a bad hotel for the price. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The location is convenient: close to the famous bridge, close to Mitsukoshimae station, and not far from many of the sites in central Tokyo. There are lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Beware that there are several other hotels nearby also called "Smile Hotel", and the nearest […] one is in Nihombashi near Kayabacho station. The downsides are that they are quite strict about the checkout time, and about leaving the room for cleaning. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Clean, Affordable hotel"
Great place to stay. It was a little hard to find, we used the directions posted by another traveler. This hotel is close to a number of small restaurants and little shops.Genuine Expedia guest review
"GREAT for the price."
The hotel is at a very convenient location, closes to Mitsukoshimae Station which takes you directly to many touristic attractions and to Tokyo Station in a couple of minutes. The neighborhood felt safe (as most of parts of Tokyo) and has multiple small restaurants and department stores nearby. The rooms are tiny and a little bit uncomfortable for people […] larger than 5'10 but I guess this is the norm in Japan. My room was very clean and the lobby was kept clean as well. The staff was very helpful too. In overall, I had a great experience and the value of the hotel was great for the price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great for business travel"
Nice staff, clean hotel, lots of great restaurants and bars surrounding. Nothing spectacular or extravagant, but they provided for everything I needed to get my work done here. For the price, highly recommend!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Downtown Tokyo"
Nice hotel in central Tokyo. You can walk to Tokyo Station in about 15 minutes. Plenty of restaurants around. Rooms are pretty similar to most that I experienced in Japan.Genuine Expedia guest review
"convenient location but needs maintenance"
The location was very convenient because it was very close to Tokyo station. However, the room we stayed in seemed like it needed maintenance. There were lots of scuff marks on the walls, the bathroom sinks had dry residue and was dusty. There is no wifi in the rooms...but i guess what u pay is what you get. Next time i'm in tokyo i will pay more for […] a cleaner hotel Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Peculiar situation"
I lost my room key and they insisted on getting 30,000 yen around $ 310 but I negotiated and paid 170 dollars for the key!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Worst experience ever"
Worst hotel EVER. Checked out in eight hours, was so unhappy. The photos make it look clean and big, the rooms are dinky, smoking rooms REEK (I mean wake up in the middle of the night coughing from the chainsmokers in other rooms) and all linens and the rooms themselves weren't tidy. It was very complicated to get to, I even had native Japanese trying […] to give me a hand who couldn't find it. The staff spoke terrible English, I had to turn my room key in every time I came/went and they monitored your actions closely. Do yourself a favor, find a guesthouse instead. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good service for a reasonable price."
The hotel used to be known as "Kampgawa Hotel" before. The hotel looks old, but had no problems with cleanliness. Very conveniently located near "Mitsukoshi-Mae" subway station. You can even walk to Tokyo station less than 15 mins. It worked perfect for me since I needed to be close to Tokyo station. When I happened to forget my spring coat and checked […] out, they were keeping neatly wrapped in until I realized and called back for it. This is a reasonably priced hotel in a convenient location with professional services. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Close to my business office of 21 years ago."
Over all very good EXCEPT for access to the bathroom. One has to step over a very high (14-16 inch) wall to go into the bathroom. It was a rather difficult task for myself (80 years old) & my 79 year old wife.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Small, cheap and great"
Small room and very small bathroom, but I don't need a large hotel room since my time will be spent out exploring. Eager and helpful staff. I found that staff spoke the same amount of English and I spoke Japanese, enough to get by. Great if you are looking for a clean, cheap hotel to stay in while traveling Tokyo.Genuine Expedia guest review
"great value"
quiet neighborhood pretty small for a person over 6ft (bathroom) area doesn't have much nightlife, but subway station is 3 min walk away (station is at the center of the subway network and very convenient to get everywhere)Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient location in a quiet alley"
Located 5 minutes away from the A3 exit of Mitsukoshimae station this is one hotel that I'd consider everytime when I visit Japan for its price. It is located right at the end of an alley and is pretty quiet and isolated at night though, single female travelers might want to take note here.,Genuine Expedia guest review
Rooms well a little small, but apart from that everything was fine.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good hotel close to central Tokyo"
The staff are excellent, and the room comfortable. The only problem i encountered during my stay was an arrogant, everybody-bow-down-to-me Japanese man, who hogged the shared computer in the lobby, without any consideration that others might need to use it, too. When i asked how much longer will he be, he said "2 hours", which took me by surprise, and […] when i asked to use it for only 10 minutes, he gestured "go away." The computer is called SHARED for a reason, buddy! Somebody needed to teach him a lesson, and so i reported this to reception AND the Manager. Let's just say, ladies and gents, you need to be aware of such people that exist in Japan, there's the great hospitality... and then there's the terrible manners at the other end of the spectrum, as well! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Hard to find"
Reasonable value for money for someone on a budget. It was hard to locate though as there are no signs visible from down the side street until you're very nearly upon it. As usual, the rooms are very small, but that seems standard in Japan.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Basic, but not in a bad way."
Wonderful stay at this hotel, the staff were friendly, the facilities useful. As a bed and breakfast (although you have to pay for breakfast) it's great. Location is Awesome. Only issue was in the room I had there wasn't alot of room to unpack for more than a couple of days stay, but this is understandable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good location close to subway station"
Clean rooms at reasonable prices. Room furnishings are very basic but all you need when you explore the city all day. The mattress of the bed was very hard though.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Business hotel"
No frills, staff were excellent and accommodative to requests. Great location too!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent location, very clean, small pillow"
Hotel is situated in an excellent location, a short 5 minute walk from the A3 exit of the Mitsukoshimae subway station with eateries and convenience stores on the way. The bed was really hard, but I personally have a thing for hard beds so its ok with me. The pillow was a little small though.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to great restaurant"
I would love to come back here. First timer in Japan, i was looking for this place for an hour. Luckily Nihon jin are nice people, they helped me to find this place.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Comfortable room and great value for money"
The cab driver had a little problem finding the hotel entrance as it was on a sidestreet (I also got lost later that evening trying to navigate back to the hotel on foot and ended up at another branch), so I would advise foreigners to take a map or use their smartphone if you have a poor sense of direction. The lobby was clean and the staff were very […] polite and spoke English. I was given a free upgrade from a single to double and it was a non-smoking room - I was very pleased. The room itself was much larger than what I've booked before in Tokyo, with comfortable pillows, yukata, fast internet and room to put my stuff. The bathroom was large and clean too - shampoo and bodywash are in a wall-mounted dispenser. There is a laundry and vending machine on an upper floor. The room has no view to speak of but this was fine - as it's not on a main street there is minimal noise. All in all I was very pleased with the hotel, felt it gave excellent value and would stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent value!"
The hotel turned out to be far more better than I expected! Had no previous experience of business hotels in japan but I would consider them just as good as the so called luxury hotels! The hotel is very close to a huge shopping center, mitsukoshi, and only a 10 min walk from the Tokyo station. However it might be a bit too hard to find the first time […] so I recommend taking a taxi from the station. Staff was extremely helpful with all matters and even helped me to get an adaptor (which by the way is pretty much impossible to buy in japan so bring one before you fly to japan). The room was cleaned daily to a top level of cleanliness and there was no nasty smells in the bathroom ( I had a non-smoking room). Overall, I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone! I stayed 4 nights! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Smoking smell in non-smoking room"
Front desk couldnt find a spare room as it was fully booked for the day. However there is a air filter and air humidifier in the room.Overall still a okay hotel for sleep. Didnt spend too long in the hotel, busy shopping, especially mitsukoshi is so near the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
Excellent staff, decent breakfast, great location ... Small rooms but comfortable, ac working great and quiet.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Pleasant, well situated, a bit old"
Smile Hotel is well-located - Nihombashi, Marunouchi, Ginza are within walking distance, as are some well-connected underground stations and convenience stores. The rooms were clean and well-appointed, with everything that you would expect in a modern hotel room, however the hotel's decor and infrastructure are beginning to date. The wi-fi connection […] in my room dropped out a few times while I was browsing the internet, and the internet connection in the foyer was quite slow. However the service was good and friendly, and for the price the hotel represented good value for money. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

A value-for-money option, with more amenities than given credit for. Good location within walking distance of 2 subway lines.Genuine Expedia guest review
"good position"
Good position near subway station but slightly difficult to find initially as down side streetGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very uncomfortable bed"
Hotel is ok for 1 or 2 nights, but the bed is like sleeping on a mat on a hard floor. The pillow is hard too. I'm currently travelling around Japan, and my tip would be to pack a soft pillow. They only provide you with 1 pillow that is like testing your head on an empty egg boxGenuine Expedia guest review
