Southern Company CEO Fanning Joins American Energy Innovation Council
Fanning joins a group of America's leading business executives who came together in 2010 to promote energy innovation.
Fanning joins a group of America's leading business executives who came together in 2010 to promote energy innovation.
AEIC commends Sens. Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Gary Peters (D-MI) on the introduction of legislation (S.3084) to reauthorize the America COMPETES Act.
Through passage of their respective energy bills, the House and Senate have taken a number of steps to bolster American energy innovation.
Widespread public sector investment in basic energy technology is critical to complement private investment and drive long-term economic growth in America and globally.
While the private sector plays the dominant role in commercializing new technologies, smart federal investments should seek to address gaps in the innovation process.
Introduction and Keynote On February 3, 2016, the American Energy Innovation Council hosted the second event in our "Partners in Ingenuity" series—From Science to Marketplace: The…
"We strongly believe that Congress should support America's competitive advantage in energy technology. If we are to modernize our energy systems and seize global market share in the most pervasive technology sector in the world, we must fund energy research and development at a level more commensurate with the scale of national priorities at stake. "
Join the American Energy Innovation Council for an event that will examine the rationale and implications of expanding federal support for energy innovation.
The ability of investments in innovation to drive economic development at home makes innovation a rare opportunity for bipartisanship.
The energy sector spends less than half of one percent of sales on R&D, whereas other industries like pharmaceuticals and aerospace/defense spend considerably more.

October 17, 2001|Quick with a smile and a self-deprecating laugh, Patrick Stettner is not the dour cynic his films--the 14-minute Flux (starring Allison Janney) and his feature debut, the wicked The Business of Strangers--lead one to expect. I sat down to talk with the polite and effusive Mr. Stettner, who is utterly passionate about and eager to discuss independent cinema, among many other topics.

They never tell you how chicken broth to use.
Great recipe. Glad I tried it. Followed it to a tee and the family loved it. Thanks for sharing
I was a little nervous AFTER I noticed only one review, at that point I had already started making it. But no worries, this truly is deserving of five stars- It really came out wonderful, it tasted like I didn't make it, like a really good cook did!

Thanks for sharing this! If you're considering it- it's too easy not to try it :)

Sonney: Rail project would have 'jeopardized future growth' in Harborcreek
State Rep. Curt Sonney, like legions of others in Harborcreek Township, was convinced that a proposed multimillion-dollar rail terminal was the wrong project for the community he calls home.
So like many of his neighbors, he took a public stand against it.
Sonney, R-4th Dist., said several times over the past few months that while he and other Harborcreek residents were not opposed to economic development, the project would likely create significant traffic, safety and noise-related problems in the township.
Sonney said he knew DevelopErie officials were listening -- but he did not expect Monday's news that the region's lead economic development agency was scrapping the rail project altogether.
"I was hoping that they would have continued pursuing other locations," Sonney said Tuesday. "I think it's a great project, and I think it would be great for Erie County ... but not in Harborcreek.
"For Harborcreek residents, this was the first time, really, that we dealt with something that we absolutely felt was destructive to the growth of the township," Sonney continued. "This absolutely would have jeopardized future growth."
The Greater Erie Industrial Development Corp. and DevelopErie's Joint Finance Committee voted unanimously on Monday to withdraw funding for the $60 million project. That effectively killed what had been seen as a major component of the larger Erie Inland Port initiative.
DevelopErie officials cited negative public feedback and a hesitance on the part of businesses and potential investors to provide public and financial support, as major reasons for the decision. The agency first announced plans for the proposed rail terminal, planned for a 30-acre site near Walbridge Road, in early November.
But almost immediately after news of the proposal broke, Harborcreek residents and others began repeatedly raising questions and concerns about traffic, noise and inconvenience.
"Had they brought their project to Harborcreek (officials) much sooner, we might be in a different position today," Sonney said. "The municipality should have been brought into their plans a long time ago."
John Elliott, executive director of DevelopErie, said that right now other components of the Erie Inland Port plan -- which involves the ports of Erie and Conneaut, Ohio, as well as large business parks featuring railroad and highway connections to handle the distribution, transportation and warehousing of goods -- are moving forward.
Those include intermodal facilities in western Erie County and a proposed $32 million import-export facility on the city of Erie's east bayfront.
Elliott, however, has said the Inland Port plan likely becomes something smaller without the rail terminal. The Erie Inland Port plan was envisioned as a way to create employment opportunities by trading on the region's access to rail, roadways and the Great Lakes.
Harborcreek Township resident Randy Barnes, one of the most vocal opponents of the rail terminal project, said he was caught off guard by Monday's announcement.
"I was kind of surprised they did it this soon," said Barnes, a 57-year-old sales representative, who has been openly critical of DevelopErie's site selection and has called into question what he believes is the use of public funds.
That drumbeat will continue, he said.
"I feel we are going to expose this thing," he said. "Nobody is accounting for this money. Where did all the taxpayer money go? What happened to the $3 million?
Elliott said in interview Monday that none of the $4 million that's been spent on the project was public money.
The crescendo of opposition associated with the rail terminal project underscores how public pressure on controversial issues "tends to be greater the more direct the impact is," said Michael Federici, a professor of political science at Mercyhurst University.
"A lot of times, people just ignore what's going on with development. Until their toes get stepped on," Federici said. "I think this situation is one of those cases where people started to scream loudly because they saw it as something that could have a direct, negative influence on their lives. In some of the neighborhoods in Harborcreek, several houses in a row had 'No Rail Terminal' signs in the yard."
Barnes, who helped lead opposition to the proposed tires-to-energy plant at the former International Paper Co. site, said he's not inclined to take credit for the defeat of this project.
"There were so many people involved. There was such broad interest," he said. "I don't think any one person stopped it."
Despite his objections to this project and his repeated criticism of public officials, Barnes said he rejects the label of naysayer.
"We are looking for real economic development in Erie County," he said.
Like Barnes, Ken Springirth, a former Harborcreek Township supervisor, said he supported the concept of an intermodal hub, but not the location proposed in Harborcreek.
Springirth said he thinks some people might be surprised that their concerns ultimately made a difference.
This sends an absolutely important message that you can fight county government and entities like DevelopErie, he said.
"Residents need to remember that when there is a problem they don't need to say it's a done deal," he said. "It's amazing what they can do when they try."
Elliott acknowledged Monday that DevelopErie had failed to win public opinion.
But he also highlighted what he sees as a pattern of rejecting new ideas.
As a result, he said, "There is a special challenge for Erie making its way in the modern world."

Flames Prospects 2012-13 NHLE - February 27
Kent Wilson
February 27 2013 09:28AM
Another month, another round of NHL equivalencies. Things are starting to wind down, with many of the various other leagues entering the final quarter of the season give or take. That means we're getting close to the final NHLE numbers for all of these kids this year.
Aside from a couple of stand-outs, it's unfortunately been an inauspicious season for Flames prospects, at least by this measure. Converting output to an NHL translation has it's uses but also it's limitations, primarily because counting stats obviously don't provide a complete picture of the player in question.
POST-GAME: Where the Wild Things Are
Vintage Flame
February 26 2013 09:55PM
Being that it was the third time your Calgary Flames have played these Minnesota Wild in the past sixteen days, you'd think there would be a solid game plan that would allow Calgary to get out of St. Paul with two points, a game above .500 and their third win in a row.
A win would have drawn the Flames to within one point of 8th in the West and finally gain some momentum with a tough stretch of games looming near. Too bad they couldn't pull it all together, because despite playing poorly once again in front of a goalie not named Kiprusoff, Joey MacDonald played pretty damn well; giving his team chance after chance to redeem their poor play with even a lucky bounce or a garbage goal.
There's only so many chances you get to stifle a guy like Zach Parise in one game; tonight the Flames pushed those odds one too many times.
FGD: A Wild Rubber Match
Ryan Pike
February 26 2013 02:08PM
For the third time this season (already) the Calgary Flames tangle with the Minnesota Wild. The Flames lost to the Wild in typical 2-1 (shootout) fashion a few weeks back, then somehow managed to avoid another shootout on Saturday and won by a 3-1 score.
With three out of a possible four points against their division rivals, the Flames look to get closer to a playoff spot tonight with their first trip this season to the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Your local hockey heroes enter the evening three points out of eighth in the West, but can get to within one with a win – eighth place Dallas is playing lowly Columbus tonight, but Los Angeles is idle and both teams have the same number of points. More importantly, the Flames can get above the .500 mark for the first time under new head coach Bob Hartley. That would be tres bien, doncha think?
Game-time is 6pm on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan. Depending on how you experience the game, Rob Kerr and/or Peter Maher has the call.
In the Land of Noise
Kent Wilson
February 26 2013 10:54AM
We're 17 games into the Flames 2013 season and Calgary has just 17 points, good for 13th in the Western Conference. The Chicago Blackhawks are 18 points ahead of the Flames in the standings. The line between the contenders and pretenders seems to have already been permanently etched in stone.
In truth, we're still very much operating in the land of noise. The current standings and success rates offer only the merest hint of how good each team actually is in the broad scheme of things. In fact, we probably won't get to the true talent "signal" at any point this season given how short it is, but at 48-games we'll at least sort of have a better idea than we do now.
Flames trade Wahl for Mike Testwuide
Kent Wilson
February 25 2013 06:13PM
Minor trade in Flamesland today. The Flames have dealt former 2nd rounder Mitch Wahl to Philly for 26-year old winger Mike Testwuide (don't ask me how to pronounce that). Wahl was picked 48th overall by the Flames in 2008, the only second rounder of Darryl Sutter's tenure as Flames GM.

A Weapon in the War Against Microbes 0 commentsJun 18, 2010 12:56 PM
How significant are food-borne illnesses? A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that these illnesses cost the United States $152 billion in health-related expenses each year. The CDC report went on to say that 76 million cases of food-borne disease occur each year in the United States. The great majority of these cases are mild and cause symptoms for only a day or two. However, the more serious cases cause 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths each year according to the CDC report.
Is the food we eat really safe? The first major food contamination event occurred in 1998 when Sara Lee recalled 35 million pounds of various meat products. Then all was quiet for awhile. However, the number of serious contamination events over the last few years has raised the question again of food safety. Some of the major food recalls over the past few years include:
• In 2006, E. coli contamination was found in packaged spinach that made 300 people sick in 26 states and caused 3 deaths.
• In 2007, Tyson recalled 40,000 pounds of beef in 12 states due to E. coli contamination.
• In 2008, Topps Meats recalled 21 million pounds of beef due to E. coli contamination that resulted in the closing of that company. In that year, there were also recalls of lettuce and spinach produce due to salmonella contamination.
• In 2009, King Nut had a massive recall for salmonella-contaminated peanuts which resulted in 399 cases in 42 states. In late 2009 and early 2010, there were over 2.8 million pounds of meat products recalled.
In addition, the CDC studies reported a 6% to 9% annual increase in Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, or MRSA, contamination in the United States, with 278,000 people hospitalized for MRSA-related infections in 2007. What is needed in this environment is a device that can identify microbial contamination faster, cheaper and more efficiently.
Detecting Microbes
Currently, many in the food industry are still using methods we learned in high school biology. These involve 'scraping' a culture in a Petri dish and then in 48-72 hours a lab can tell if and what type of bacteria is present.
Some firms in the food industry are using more modern methods to detect food-borne bacteria. These include molecular whole-cell and surface recognition, enzyme/substrate approaches, and nucleic acid-related techniques.
The most popular method is DNA testing known as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) diagnostic systems. PCR systems typically perform an identification of bacteria in 36 to 48 hours with greater than 90 percent accuracy and at a cost of about $10.
There are some newer systems that can complete the whole process in about 10 hours but at a cost of as high as $45 per test and at a capital cost exceeding $40,000.
Finally, there is another method for detecting bacteria. It is a proprietary system recently developed by a small California firm – Micro Identification Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: MMTC). Its system utilizes the well-established method of light scattering.
In operation, a cultured sample is put into a vial containing filtered water, and then placed into the system. At this point, a laser beam shines on the vial, generating a multi-angle light scattering pattern.
Thirty-five detectors spread over five arcs gather scattering pattern intensity data. Keep in mind that scattering patterns are unique for each type of micro-organism. A definitive identification is effected by comparing the pattern with the system's database. Twenty-three species of micro-organisms can now be identified with this technique.
The company's method has two distinct advantages over existing methods: the low cost, at about 10 cents a test, and the very rapid identification time, at less than 10 minutes.
Micro Identification Technologies received validation on its system from the respected AOAC International Institute and now is actively approaching the food safety arena. Possible future market areas for this system include drinking water, clinical diagnostics and pharmaceuticals.
The goal, of course, is to prevent contaminated food from ever reaching the consumer. Cost-effective, accurate systems to detect bacteria will help achieve that goal. It will not solve all the problems, but it will certainly reduce the amount of illnesses caused by food-borne micro-organisms and thereby reduce health care costs.Back To QualityStocks' Instablog HomePage »

2011 Volkswagen CC Sedan Lux Plus PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)
Wanting more for less is my new criteria in any purchase. My wife and I have driven BMW's for years. Coming from a 3 Series to the 2011 VW CC Luxury Plus is a comfort upgrade and we saved thousands of dollars. Standard NAV, rear camera, SAT radio, 30GB hard drive to store music are all items that would have made many cars very expensive. They are standard on the VW CC Lux Plus. If you want honest German engineering and quality in a car packed with features this is it.
The DSG dual clutch transmission is a dream. 30GB HDD is something that I never would have thought I needed but would now be a must have. Entire NAV and entertainment system far superior to BMW's we have owned.
Being picky I guess i would want Memory Seats.... and I think that's standard on the Limited model.

Cuomo: Ray Harding Up on 3 Felony Charges, Texas Financier Pleads Out in Pension, Office-Peddling Scams
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (pictured) has announced that he's charging former New York State Liberal Party Chairman Ray Harding with three felonies committed during Alan Hevesi's days as comptroller. The AG says Hevesi's lieutenants Hank Morris and David Loglisci, who were indicted last month, used $800,000 on fees fraudulently obtained from the state pension fund to reward Harding for favors -- one specifically, he said, was that "Harding was dispatched to help clear a seat in the state assembly, so Hevesi's son Andrew could run for the open seat" -- Alan Hevesi's old seat in the 28th District in Queens -- by helping to arrange for the then-assemblyman Michael Cohen "to get a six-figure job at a health insurance company in New York (HIP)." Cohen resigned the seat unexpectedly in 2005.
Cuomo said Harding also delivered endorsements for various state and city offices under similar arrangements. The mechanism for the payoffs, Cuomo said, was that Morris and Loglisci "steered pension contracts to Harding by making him a placement agent" -- that is, someone who raises money for investment funds. But in fact, Cuomo said, Harding was not a real placement agent, and this was "a mere sham transaction" to cover the illegal activity.
Cuomo also announced that "hedge fund manager and classical music impresario Barrett Wissman" -- an associate of the powerful Hunt family of Texas -- had pleaded guilty to involvement in the scheme, and will pay $12 million in penalties and forfeiture to the state over a period of three years, and also be sentenced at a later date.
As to whether Alan Hevesi, then-Governor George Pataki, Cohen etc. share any culpability in this matter, Cuomo had no statement (he did say "We have no evidence that Andrew Hevesi had anything to do with this scheme or even knew about it"). But Cuomo did add that more charges would be forthcoming.

SKYLON ACE XV EV0857/001 Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of SKYLON ACE XV EV0857in our 2015, and 2016 Nike range.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Wearing classical semi-rim eyewear, your outfit is given ample space to achieve its effect, still leaving enough room for a stylish accent in your face. As a result, this type of frame is very versatile and combinable. The quadratic shape is a good choice, especially for softer facial features. The square glasses give more contour to a round face. The straight outer edges also give the impression that the face is longer. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The SKYLON ACE XV EV0857 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
Even if this Nike is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

Joe Jordan | Nebraska Watchdog
The nuts and bolts of Gov. Dave Heineman's move for a criminal investigation into the state's prison scandal is drawing criticism, while one major player in the ongoing drama is set to meet with lawmakers in public today.
The former head of Nebraska's prisons, Bob Houston, is scheduled to appear before a special legislative committee Friday. But Heineman told reporters on Thursday that a non-criminal investigation has already determined that Houston had not been told about two key Supreme Court rulings—rulings that changed the way sentences were to be handled.

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) - Crew chief Jimmy Makar didn't think much of the car his team brought to Pocono International Raceway, and that made sense - even after driver Bobby Labonte won with it.
"I don't know what that thing was doing here," Makar said Sunday after Labonte took the Pennsylvania 500 for the first two-race sweep on the mountaintop since 1986. "That was our car for Darlington and Rockingham, and our backup for Bristol."
Those high-banked tracks have nothing in common with the Pocono triangle, the flattest of all tracks on the NASCAR circuit. The Pontiac of choice was the one Labonte wrecked two weeks ago on the flat track in Loudon, N.H.
That wreck, and one Labonte had a month ago in Sonoma, Calif., have cost him a good shot at the Winston Cup title.
"We went from the pits to the penthouse," Labonte said of the transition from Loudon to Pocono. "You can't get those lost points back, but it's been a great season."
Part of the reason has been the team's uncanny knack for figuring fuel mileage and Labonte's touch on the accelerator. That combination worked so well Sunday that his nearest pursuers were backing off at the end, making the final laps of the race easy for Labonte.
In fact, he recorded the fastest lap of the race - 166.242 mph - with just 25 of 200 laps remaining.
Two late-race caution flags proved his ally in what figured to be an economy run. Labonte went the final 45 laps to win for the third time this season - tying a career high. Last month, at Dover, Del., Labonte disdained a final fuel stop and won the MBNA Platinum 400.
This time, the economy run was less dramatic because series points leader Dale Jarrett and Mark Martin also finished. The fuel window on the 2 1/2-mile track is generally 40 laps, but 10 laps of caution helped them finish ahead of cars that repeatedly pitted to top off their tanks.
Labonte didn't back off once he was told he probably had enough fuel to finish.
"I ran as hard as I could," he said. "We didn't have the fastest race car all day, but we had the fastest one at the end."
Fate also had a hand in Labonte's 10th career victory.
Jarrett had a bad clutch that hurt him during pit stops, and Martin was given a stop-and-go penalty when one of his tires rolled across pit road.
Defending race and series champion Jeff Gordon blew a tire. Jeff Burton, who won two weeks ago when Tony Stewart lost a fuel gamble at Loudon, N.H., blew his transmission.
Only Labonte managed to avoid all the pitfalls. He led the final 33 laps, getting home 8.655 seconds ahead of Jarrett's Ford. Martin was third in a Ford, followed by Labonte's Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Stewart, and the Chevrolet of Wally Dallenbach.
"I don't think this was as good as the car we had last time," said Labonte, who also won the Pocono 500 to match Tim Richmond's 1986 Pocono sweep.
The car Labonte used in that race was the one he wrecked in Loudon.
Jarrett, who leads the driver standings by a season-high 254 points over Martin, was satisfied with his run despite the clutch problem.
"When I put it in gear, the clutch went to the floor," Jarrett said of a mid-race pit stop. "It hurt us some on restarts and pit stops."
But Jarrett wasn't bemoaning his fate. He figured the team that did the best work won the race.
"I don't know if we could have caught Bobby," he said. "They have the complete package - fuel mileage, setups."
Makar liked hearing that.
"I hope that's true," he said. "We've made adjustments in areas where we fell short in previous years.
"I feel like we do have all the ingredients. You can't ask for any more than that."
Martin, still hurting from an accident in practice three weeks ago at Daytona International Speedway, said he was extremely hot in the car.
"I thought it was going to catch on fire," he said. "It was a hot one."
Also concerned about fuel and the problem of teammate Burton, Martin declined to press Jarrett over the final few laps.
"I just backed off," he said.
The 4-hour, 16-minute race, slowed twice by light rain, featured 27 lead changes among 15 drivers.
Labonte's average speed was slowed to 116.982 by nine cautions covering 49 laps.
Labonte, third in the standings, 283 points behind Jarrett and 29 back of Martin, earned $139,385 from a purse of $2.2 million.

The use of affirmative action programs in college admissions has roiled campuses and the public for years, leading to state-passed laws banning the practice to today's Supreme Court ruling upholding a Michigan voter initiative banning the use of racial preferences.

Police searching for three people suspected in ATM theft
Dallas police are asking for the public's help identifying three people who stole an ATM from a Family Dollar Store in Far East Dallas.
About 6:40 a.m., three people wearing masks, gloves and hoods backed a pickup into the store in the 8000 block of Ferguson Road, north of Interstate 30, and stole and ATM from inside, police said.
The three — at least two of whom are men — fled south on Highland Road toward I-30, police said.
The truck is a blue single-cab, mid-1990′s-model Chevrolet with a long wheel base. It had faded paint on the roof, a tool box mounted in the bed and a chrome piece across the tailgate with "Chevrolet" spelled out in capital letters.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 214-373-8477.

Mass. revenues lower in May, but ahead for year
BOSTON — The state Revenue Department says tax collections in May dropped by more than 6 percent from a year ago but still finished slightly ahead of expectations for the month.
Officials said Wednesday that the state took in $1.5 billion last month. That was $102 million less than in May 2012, but that was mostly attributable to fewer one-time corporate tax settlements.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Mina Istanbul
Good, decent hotel
stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. The location is superb, 5mins walk to the blue mosque and about 8 mins walk to the grand bazaar. The hotel is new and in very good condition. It is well equipped for a 3 star hotel. like most hotels in Istanbul the rooms are a bit on the small side. the breakfast is average nothing special but adequate with a good view of the sea. the hotel staff get the most merit they were very helpful and polite. In the foyer they have free internet access. The hotel is in a side street and about 5 mins walk you are on the main road where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. the hotel is cheap and good value for money and would stay there again.
Severe Honeymoon Dissappointment
We booked the Mina Hotel as our alternate choice for 5 nights during our honeymoon, as our first choice, Nena Hotel, was fully booked.The hotel is visually attractive, but in this case, beauty is only skin deep. Please keep in mind this review is the experience of two people, and should count as two reviews when making your hotel decision.
Lets start with the basic room construction. The rooms are small, but that is expected from a boutique hotel in a city. The real problems are with the quality of construction in the room. While opening the door slightly with the chain lock in position, the door moulding actually came out of the wall, as it was secured only to sheet rock. This in turn caused the upper moulding to come crashing down on to my arm and causing minor scrapes and bleeding. Second, the balcony door has now twice come unhinged. Lastly, we could clearly hear the TV in the room next door through the wall.
Now lets discuss the staff. Our hotel voucher stated we were honeymooners, but we did not get any of the special treatment that is customary for honeymooners. Otherwise, the reception and bell cap staff are one of the few highlights of this hotel. They were both helpful and friendly, and one of them came up to our room to show us how to use the safe, which was nice. They also responded immediately when I mentioned the room falling apart. Unfortunately the same can not be said for the maid service. They did little more then make the bed and change the towels.
They did not change the bed sheets once in 5 nights, nor refresh the ammenities in the bathroom. On our 4th night, we accidently spilled some sand in our bed, and had the joy of sleeping in it the 5th night since the 'cleaning' staff decided to simply pull the bed sheet over it instead of changing or even brushing the sheets.
I can not agree with the previous review that stated that the food here was spectacular, and my wife and I are Egyptian and therefore very accustomed to this kind of diet. Most of the food that was supposed to be eaten warm was in fact cold, and much of the jams and jellies were very bland. The worst was the 'orange' juice, which tasted like a very bad version of Tang, and the red 'mystery' juice, which had just enough flavor to make it taste like cough syrup.
If all this wasn't enough, on one night the power went out in our room. Also, there are only one or two english channels on the TV, which is not a big deal since we did our best to spend as much time out of the room as possible.
In conclusion, if you can find availability in another hotel in the same location, stay there. The other thing this hotel has going for it is its prime location, near the main street leading to Aya Sofya, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi, but not on it, so the noise is controlled yet everything you want to see is within walking distance.
Good...recommended for a first time visitor.
The location is excellent. You are within easy walking distance (less than 5 minutes in most cases) of Istanbul's most interesting sights.
Views from the rooms are variable. High floor rooms are recommended. Rooms 501 and 401 enjoy particularly good views out over the Marmara sea and the Blue Mosque.
The rooms themselves are modern, clean and comfortable. Some could be described as small, but not uncomfortably so. Bathrooms are extremely nice and modern. Even single rooms feature two beds. Interior design of the hotel has aspects of cheesiness bordering on kitsch, but this was endearing rather than irritating.
Breakfast is a spectacular experience, located in the 6th floor bar area which is surrounded by sweeping views. Food is plentiful and delicious, though Western tastes are not especially catered for. If olives and feta for breakfast are not your thing you may wish to get breakfast at an outdoor cafe, of which there are many in the area.
The TV channel selection is superb and there is no danger of falling out of contact with the modern world while you are staying at this hotel.
The staff are friendly if you make an effort to get to know them. One night the nightshift staff invited me to share dinner and drinks with them at about 2am, which was fun.
Un magnífico hotel con un personal agradable
Acabo de regresar de Estambul despu�s de tomarme un peque�o descanso en el Hotel Mina. Est� muy bien situado, a poca distancia de las atracciones principales, como por ejemplo el Blue Mosque y Aya Sofia. El servicio que prestan los empleados del hotel supera con creces los niveles de calidad de otros hoteles, ofreciendo el trato mas amable que jam�s he visto en todos los a�os que llevo viajando. Como profesional del sector del viaje me impresion� mucho el alto nivel que este hotel ofrece en la prestaci�n de servicio. Los empleados eran muy amables y dispuestos a complacer. El responsable del mostrador principal, Serkant, es el recepcionista m�s profesional que puede uno encontrar. Siempre ofrece un trato amable y es capaz de atender a todos los requisitos de los clientes. Serkant y absolutamente todo el equipo del Hotel Mina dan un gran valor al hotel y gracias a ellos mi breve estancia en Estambul se convirti� en algo inmemorable. Y para finalizar, las vistas desde el restaurante del hotel son impresionantes. Si lo que buscas es un hotel de 3 o 4 estrellas, limpio, c�modo y muy bien situado, la visita al Hotel Mina es obligada. El desayuno y el caf� no son demasiado buenos, aunque es conveniente explorar los numerosos restaurantes de calidad que Estambul puede ofrecer.
Wonderful hotel for single female traveler
I have been to Istanbul 4 times in the past 4 years, and I have stayed at Hotel Mina 3 times. (Once I found it, I could not imagine staying anywhere else in Istanbul.) And by the way, each trip I was a female traveling alone in Istanbul. The hotel is close to the main drag, but not on it so it is quiet.The front desk staff is first class, very engaging. When the airlines lost my luggage, the staff kept me posted on what they knew until the luggage was delivered to the hotel. When they arrange a ride to or from the airport, or a tour, there are no surprises. The ride is there on time and as expected. The rooftop restaurant does have a wonderful view. However, when I was there in the winter, they served the breakfast on a plate they bring to you, rather than a buffet. The hotel is very convenient to the Grand Bazaar. The Blue Mosque and that whole area is a pleasant walk downhill. The tram is a short walk from the hotel, and it's an easy ride to the waterfront on the tram. The bank and ATM are just around the corner from the hotel. Who could ask for more?
Great hotel with professional and friendly staff
I have just returned from a short break in Istanbul at the Mina Hotel. The hotel is very well located in walking distance form the major attractions, such as: The Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia. The service in this hotel is above and beyond hotel standards with the friendliest hotel staff I have ever come across in all my years of travelling.
As a travel professional I was very impressed with the high level of service delivery in this hotel. The staff was friendly and eager to please. The front desk clerk, Serkant, is the most professional receptionist one can meet. He was always pleasant and was able to accommodate all the guests' requests. Serkant and the entire team at the Mina are an asset to this hotel and thanks to them, my short stay in Istanbul was a memorable one.
Finally, the views from the hotel restaurant are breathtaking.
If you are looking for a 3 to 4 star clean, comfortable and well located hotel, the Mina is a must.
The breakfast and the coffee are not great. However, when in Istanbul, one should explore the many excellent restaurants this great city has to offer.
Such a helpful stuff!!! and great location!
I can't begin to tel you how nice and helpful stuff was at Mina Hotel. We had a reservation for 4 nights there, but when we arrived there we were told that that they don't have a room for us for the last two nights (they doublebooked by a mistake). Because of that mistake, that they made they offered us: free dinner (in their briekfast room with wonderful views), fruit and wine, free airport transfer. They found a 5star hotel for us for the same price we paid for Mina Hotel(but further away from the historic old city) and they helped to move to to the other hotel. So even after all inconveniences we had, because of moving to another hotel, I am sure we will return to Mina hotel again.
Pluses:a location, a view out of briekfast room and the staff.
One minus to this hotel is that tey need to do better job of cleaning the rooms( scrubbing toilets...), and there bath towels were not very white and clean( but it was the same way in the 5 star hotel as well); and carpet in the room needed to be cleaned. I wouldn't give more than 3 stars to this hotel, just because of their poor job of keeping the rooms spotless.
There are couple of nice simple places to eat around the hotel, a couple of mini-supermarket around the corner. One place with a good food we liked a lot is : Cemberlitas Saray S Kebapcisi (tel: 0212 518 4722), about 100 meters away. It;s a simple, clean, affordable place with great food. We paid 35Lira (about 26 US $) total for water, bread, 3 salads, and 2 plates of grilled meat.
Warm, friendly staff - clean hotel in great location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the hotel. It is well located (maybe 6-7 minute brief walk to the Grand Bazaar and 10 minutes to the Blue Mosque) and the staff were so helpful, warm and friendly. Seriously, you could not want for better staff. I checked a few other hotels in the area and no other staff were as friendly or helpful as at this hotel. We felt safe and well looked after at this hotel.
The hotel is not old, so the fixtures and fittings were in good order. We had some minor plumbing problem in the bathroom - the shower dripped a little but not so much that we wanted it fixed whilst we were there. The only complaint was the bathtub - it really was quite a step up to get into it. Though I am not so short - 5'4", I found it a bit of effort to get in and out as I am a bit awkward.
We arrived late at night to this 3-star hotel and the hotel staff ordered food for us from a nearby restaurant. They didn't hike the price and the food and their service really was great. The view from the breakfast area is fabulous - it's on the top floor. The view from our hotel room was a wall with what looked like some sweatshops around the corner but as we were only in there for sleeping, we didn't care. The room was small but big enough to fit a 3rd bed for one night (with no ability to walk around any furniture once the 3rd bed was in the room).
Turkey is a country of smokers and it seemed that all the other guests in the hotel smoked but even so the air-conditioning didn't seem affected by their smoking - that was a huge relief. Breakfast of course was a bit of a trial surrounded by smokers.
Some websites categorize this hotel as charming or in the Ottoman Style. I think this is overstating it. The facade of the building is identical to the photos and in that sense is historic but the interior just felt like a regular hotel.
Breakfast was ok for the price and I think fairly traditional for the region - feta, cucumbers, tomatoes and traditional Turkish bread and buns; cereal, whole fruit, 2 types of cold meat, boiled eggs, chopped sausage (similar to cabana), basic cake, 2 types of halva and fudge, tea, coffee, juice.
We would definitely stay there again.
Good Value for Money and Perfect Location!
For the price that we paid i.e. EUR45 per night, we got more than what we expected. And the location was perfect, everything was within walking distance.
Room size was reasonable and the overall hotel interior was excellant for a small boutique hotel. The breakfast was nothing extravagant but enough. But who wants to complain when the room price is all inclusive.
The reception staffs were nice and helpful as well.
Lovely small hotel
This hotel is in a prime location for an exploration of the old city. You can walk everywhere. It is clean, modern and the rooms and bathrooms are nicely equipped. Breakfast is included in the reasonable rate and is served in a room with a lovely view. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Istanbul.
