Historical Traveler Reviews Majestic Barriere Cannes
Grand Old Hotel
We had a most pleasant stay at this fine hotel. Our room had a great view of the sea. Location on the Croisette was exactly what we were looking for. If you're on a tight budget this probably isn't the one, but if you're looking for an upscale traditional hotel with great service you will enjoy the Majestic.
Disappointment, small outdated rooms
Save your money and stay somewhere else. Better yet, avoid Cannes altogether. We found the outlying areas to be more charming. Our first rooms was very small and had a horrible stench, after switching rooms we received a second room that was still stuffy and had electronic blinds and no view. Very few rooms in this hotel actually offer a sea view based on the way the hotel is construced. Service was average. Carpet on stairs of hotel literally had tears in it as well as some of the upholstery in our room. A colleague of mine also stayed at this hotel and had to switch after finding hundreds of ants on the floor.
Not all it's cracked up to be
We stayed here over Valentine's for a week. The foyer and bar areas are indeed splendid and palatial, but the room we had was small and pokey, with little room to move around. Our electronic window shutter was broken and was never repaired despite numerous requests during our week long stay. Also, considering the price we paid for our trip, we really grudged all the "extras", which amounted to just about everything other than toiletries. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room, and a king's ransom for any delivered. No breakfast included, and again an extortionate fee for a pretty basic and unexciting breakfast. Sandwiches ordered by the pool cost about �20 each (!!!!). There was also no iron in the room, so if you wanted to have anything ironed.....yes, you guessed it....extra. I had one skirt and one dress ironed and this cost about �30. I have no problem paying more for quality and service, but I think this hotel tries to take the Mickey a bit by charging high rates in the first place then charging more for anything else, which in most hotels in the UK, at this price, would come as standard.
De-Lightful Barriere
My wife and I were adequately impressed with this hotel. Although initially accomodated in a smallish room due to availability (compared with 5 star hotel room sizes we are accustomed to in South Africa), we were genuinely impressed when accomodated in the 'best suite' (must have been my wife's charm), sea-facing and with 'open' balcony. The service and attendance of the staff were impeccable in our experience, from first greeting to bidding us bon voyage, and which really contributed to making our first visit to the famed city-of-light a truly de-lightful experience. Sure, 'de-lightful' may not be a wanton description preferred by the Grand, an establishment frequented by great stars and dignitaries alike, but the staff's sheer professionalism, hospitality and sincere interest expressed in our well-being, made this a 'come-back-for-more' experience for us.
NIce Hotel
I spent 2 weeks here in June 2002 right after Film Festival got rate of 172 Euros including breakfast buffet. They did charge for pillows at Pool which upset me as I watched people walk in off the street and just sit on chairs others had left. Manager refused to turn on Pool heater as he didn;t like all the children congregating at the pool. Manger was Arrogant, but Carlo the concierge was great he rememebred my Mothers birthday and had roses and a scarf waitng in our room for her. All imn all a great expereince for her 60 th birthday
Don't expect too much. It's only the name.
Don't expect too much. It's a typical grand hotel, but if you do not afford the expensive rooms, you'll get a quite small chamber without any sign of luxury. As other reviewers said, everthing else there is quite expensive and mostly not worth the money (except you like bad drinks on expensive chairs at the pool). At all, the staff was quite arrogant: when I arrived with my car, they didn't ask me whether they can help me, but rather "what do you want here?". "I thought, I'll stay here for a night". "Ah, okay, sorry". Not very convincing.
A few last words: Try to avoid Cannes at all - at least, don't stay there. It's only the name. If there is no festival, half of the restaurants are closed, the beaches are expensive or completely overcrowded. Only take a walk at the Croisette, look at the yachts - and move on. Cannes is not really exciting. Rather stay at smaller hotels around this area.
Too many extras
Beautiful hotel, wonderful location, but for the price you pay you wouldn't expect to pay for using the swimming pool or the gym.
Majestic is wonderful (but Cannes...)
Stayed at the Majestic 4 nights in July 03. The hotel is wonderful and the staff is eager to please (except for breakfast, skimpy and overpriced at Fouquets). It's the lap of luxury, a shame it's wasted in a city that rests on the laurels of the film festival. Not much intersting to see or do. Not convenient as home base, either. As for the hotel, it is exceedingly comfortable, one of the best in the world. I cannot find fault with this wonderful property. Enjoy yourself!
Nice but lots of extra fees
The Majestic is a lovely hotel with very friendly staff. Given the price, you do not expect to be paying so much for the extras. For example, to go to the beach and get a mattress, expect to pay an additional 19 Euros per person per half day. Also, a chair by the pool will cost the same. I was also surprised to see an ancient hair dryer in the room. On the positive side, the hotel is very central and surprisingly quiet.
I expected more...
It is a beautiful hotel, but not the "majestic" I expected. For a hotel that is renowned, I expected more, while there is nothing that really distinguishs it from any other five star hotel (other than the view - if you have one!). One thing that really frustrates is the elevators, there are two small ones to service everyone, and they take forever to come.

NCAA making more and more money off tourney
Posted on: November 17, 2011 2:33 pm
Edited on: November 17, 2011 2:38 pm
By Matt Norlander
Not exactly a headline that get you stiff in your seat, is it?
The NCAA's finance books have always been publicly available. Most don't get into them because, basically researching and sifting through financial records of the NCAA isn't a lot of fun. It's dense, burdensome work that isn't really fruitful, unless you stumble upon a tax scandal that would blow the whole thing open. Not likely to happen. Not much reason, other than random curiosity, to actively hunt through hundreds of pages filled with numbers that just glaze past the uneconomical eye.
But in the wake of Deadspin posting -- at 2:25 a.m. -- what it initially thought was privileged information, the organization's records have been a topic of interest on the Internet today. Just how much money is the NCAA bringing in? We've got that info for you, plus the dollars attached to the men's and women's tournaments.
They're lofty numbers, and they continue to climb. For anyone who fights and advocates for college athletes to earn money at means above a scholarship, these figures only serve to rile and further invigorate your cause. In terms of the NCAA tournament, here are the dollar amounts attached to it (read: the profits the NCAA makes off its massive bovine) since 2005 and up through 2013. In 2005, the NCAA made $420 million. The next year, it went up to $453. In 2007: $490 million; 2008: $529 million; 2009: $571 million; 2010: $617 million; this past spring: $657 million.
Yes, the numbers will keep climbing. Next year will be a $710 million-dollar check, and 2013 is a $764 million boost to the organization. The NCAA record show most -- most -- of this money goes back to member institutions, as well as putting on all of the NCAA championships/tournaments in the sports that don't raise money. What I take from this: college football, which has fractured off its TV money from the NCAA (something basketball can and could do by 2025, in my opinion), isn't the beast in all areas we think it is.
Men's hoops is vital, so, so, vital to the NCAA continuing to exist and be the behemoth that it is. Without the tournament TV money, what is the NCAA? Not nearly as power or influential.
For a view of how much the men's D-I dominates, next spring, the NCAA will make 18.8 million from the women's field of 64. And the NIT is now a measly $56 and a half million check that is spread out over 10 years, expiring in 2015.
Here's one of the copies of the financial records, if you so choose to peer.

NCAA making more and more money off tourney
It's not about the NCAA. Division I-A (now FBS) college football has always been the domain of the individual conference commissioners. Do you really think they'll relinquish the power that comes with controlling the sport just for the sake of having a playoff? They know they can make more money with such an arrangement but they don't want to share the wealth with the smaller schools under ANY circumstances.
Since: Jun 5, 2011
Posted on: November 17, 2011 6:26 pm
NCAA are pretty stupid for "smart people..."
So, if the NCAA makes so much money off of a basketball tournament, why are they too stupid to see all of the money they are leaving on the table by refusing to determine a true football champion with a playoff? This would lead me to believe that there are a lot of personal kickbacks being given by the bowls.

Some people take early retirement in order to take up another job or to become self-employed. Many people aged over the "normal"retirement age are employed. There are a small number of occupations that have statutory upper age limits but, in general, there is no rule which prevents people over the age of 65 from being employed or self-employed. Many self-employed people continue to be so well past the "normal" retirement age.
If you were a permanent and pensionable public servant, your pension may be abated if you go back to work in the public sector. It is generally not possible to further contribute to an occupational pension scheme after the normal age of retirement.
There are specific tax arrangements for people aged over 65 including the taxation of occupational pensions and the taxation of social welfare payments.
In general, there is no upper age limit for employment and there is no single fixed retirement age for employees. If you are employed, your retirement age is set out in your contract of employment. Some contracts of employment have a mandatory retirement age (that is, the age at which you must retire), but they also have provisions for earlier retirement generally and/or on grounds of illness. The usual retirement age in contracts of employment is 65. Many have provisions for early retirement from age 60 or in some cases from age 55 and most have provision for early retirement on health grounds.
In some cases, there is a statutory retirement age. These retirement ages arise in jobs that are established by law and the law sets out the maximum age of staff. If your contract of employment includes a mandatory upper age limit, then you must retire when you reach that limit. However, it is open to you and your employer to negotiate another contract.
If you are subject to a statutory or mandatory retirement age in your job, there is nothing to prevent you taking up a different job when you retire or taking up self-employment.
If you are receiving any social welfare payment other than the State Pension (Contributory) or Widow's/Widower's (Contributory) Pension, working will affect your entitlement.
It may be possible to do some part-time work and retain entitlement to part of your Jobseeker's Benefit or Jobseeker's Allowance.
If you are getting Pre-Retirement Allowance it may be possible to do some work and retain some entitlement.
The State Pension (Transition) is no longer paid where a person reaches 65 on or after 1 January 2014. If you qualified for the State Pension (Transition) before 1 January 2014 you remain entitled to it for the duration of your claim (1 year). It is paid to people aged 65 who have retired from work and who have enough social insurance contributions. It is not means-tested. At age 66, you transfer to State Pension (Contributory).
You cannot work and get a State Pension (Transition) as being retired means that you must not be in insurable employment or self-employment. That means that, if you have earnings, they must be less than €38 a week from employment or €5,000 a year from self-employment. If you have an income from savings or investments, you could be liable for self-employed PRSI but that would not debar you from a State Pension (Transition) if you are not actually engaged in self-employment.
If you are receiving the State Pension (Contributory), you may work or be self-employed without affecting your entitlement.
If you are receiving an occupational pension, then you may also work or be self-employed and if you are receiving a private sector pension, working or being self-employed does not usually affect it.
However, most public sector pension schemes are subject to what is called abatement if you return to work in the public sector. The precise conditions may vary from one scheme to another but, in general, abatement means that the pension is reduced in order to ensure that you do not earn more between the pension and the income from employment than you would if you had remained in employment. If you are getting a public service pension and you go to work in the private sector, your pension is not affected.
If you are employed, you may contribute to the new employment pension scheme if you are eligible. Most occupational pension schemes do not cater for contributions over the age of 65 but it is possible that some do. It is possible to get tax relief on contributions up to age 70.
If you are self-employed or your new employment does not include an occupational pension, you could decide to make arrangements for a personal pension. Again, the upper age limit for tax relief for such contributions is 70.
Most legislation dealing with the protection of employees does not have an upper age limit. So, if you are an older worker, whether full or part-time, you are covered by protective legislation dealing with the following areas:
If you lose your job and your employer owes you money for arrears of pay, holidays and a number of other items, you may claim this from the Redundancy and Employers' Insolvency Fund.
Under the Unfair Dismissals Acts, dismissal on the grounds of age is unfair with certain exceptions. People who must leave employment when they reach the retirement age stated in their contract may not claim unfair dismissal.
If you are unfairly dismissed, at whatever age, you may complain to the Employment Appeals Tribunal, which may order reinstatement or compensation.
If you are made redundant you may be entitled to a redundancy payment.
The Employment Equality Acts 1998-2011 prohibit discrimination on 9 grounds including that of age (with certain exceptions). They apply to all ages above the age a person is statutorily obliged to go to school (16 currently). The Equal Status Act 2000 never had an upper age limit but it has been also been amended by the Equality Act 2004 to make it easier to bring a discrimination case on the grounds of age (as well as 8 other grounds).
If you are aged under 66 and you are employed or self-employed, you are liable to pay PRSI in the normal way. This applies regardless of what you did earlier. For example, if you are a former public servant and you take up a job in the private sector, you have to pay full PRSI. In these circumstances, you may be able to qualify for a pro-rata old age contributory pension.
You only pay PRSI on your income from employment or self-employment. You do not have to pay PRSI on your pension from a former employment.
If you take up part-time work or low paid work, you are still in the PRSI system but you may not have to pay anything. If you earn less than €352 a week, you don't have to pay PRSI. If you earn over €38, your employer has to pay and you have full cover. Once you step over the €352 limit, you have to pay on all your income from work.
You are not liable for PRSI contributions after the age of 66 - this is the case whether or not you are employed or self-employed. If you do not have enough contributions at age 66, you cannot add to them after that. Unlike some occupational pension arrangements, there is no facility to retrospectively pay PRSI contributions.
If you are aged 66 and in employment, your employer pays a small PRSI contribution to cover you for occupational injuries. This is called Class J social insurance.
Since 1 January 2011 the health and income levies have been replaced by the Universal Social Charge which you pay if your gross income is more than €10,036 per year. It does not apply to social welfare or similar payments.

Why is Meet Dave rated PG?
Official MPAA Rating: Meet Dave is rated PG for for bawdy and suggestive humor, action and some language.
Unbeknownst to the humans, the aliens intend to raid Earth in order to save their own planet. Mutiny among the crewmembers results in Dave blasting his way out of a police holding cell, blowing up a cruiser and coming under attack from Homeland Security. A man is hit by a car and later is struck on the head with a bottle. When two crooks attempt to rob a convenience store, one of them is tossed against the wall and the other has his gun destroyed. Kids bully a smaller boy on several occasions. A man kicks a cat across the room. Bathroom jokes include a man passing both money and undigested hotdogs. A brief scene of male buttock nudity is seen. A negative homosexual stereotype is shown, along with infrequent sexual comments. Several terms of Deity are also used.

Got Qmilch?

Your Rating
German designer Anke Domaske believes she can 'do your body good' by making clothing from milk. Domaske, a biochemist and fashion designer, developed a process of reducing milk to a protein powder that is then boiled and pressed into strands that can be woven into a fabric. Qmilch drapes and folds like silk and can be washed and dried like cotton. Made from all-natural materials, it is not only ecological but is reported to be soothing to people with skin allergies. The fabric is antibacterial, anti-aging and can help regulate both blood circulation and body temperature. And, have no fear, Qmilch doesn't come with an expiration date. The apparel industry depends heavily on byproducts from oil or natural resources like water -- thousands of gallons of the latter may be used to produce just one bolt of cotton. Domaske uses only organic milk that cannot be consumed because it has failed Germany's strict quality standards. Still, the idea that it will cost less to produce Qmilch has been met with skepticism: AP reports that, "at $28 per kilogram, [Domaske's] fabric costs more to produce than even organic cotton, which goes for about 40 percent less." Domaske uses Qmilch in her own clothing line, Mademoiselle Chi Chi, and has plans to license it shortly.

The Shortlist
The Shortlist for Aug. 5
Kendall Jenner: Being famous was 'a disadvantage' when it came to modeling
In the last year, Kendall Jenner has gone from kid sister on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" to full-on, in-demand fashion model. But as she tells Teen Vogue in the magazine's fall style issue cover story, the road from reality star to Marc Jacobs model wasn't as easy as her fans might think.
"People didn't want to take a chance on me, I think because I was sort of known. They were a little bit on the fence about it. Some people might think that what I've done before made it easier for me to get jobs, but it was actually a disadvantage. I had to work even harder," said the 18-year-old beauty, whose visage graces two separate versions of the magazine's new cover. "I had to grow into myself. I couldn't really go out there as a 15-year-old. I mean, I know that some girls do, but I couldn't. I'd grown up in the spotlight, and I needed to be a kid for a minute."
Once she was ready to take a stab at professional modeling, Jenner carefully calculated a plan -- one that seems to be working now that it's been put into action. "I felt like I should pick specific designers that I wanted to go for so I could make a good first impression—or more like a fifth impression," she said with a laugh. "But it's my first impression on this world."

Nora Ephron returns with her first book since the astounding success of I Feel Bad About My Neck, taking a hilarious look at the past, the present, and the future, bemoaning the vicissitudes of modern life, and recalling with her signature clarity and wisdom everything she hasn't (yet) forgotten.
Filled with insights and observations that instantly ring true—and could have come only from Nora Ephron—I Remember Nothing is pure joy.
"From the Hardcover edition."
- In the title essay, Ephron writes, " . . . I have been forgetting things for years, but now I forget in a new way" [p.5]. How do the examples she uses capture the difference between her past and present ways of forgetting?
