The front desk staff were excellent. They were always friendly and helpful. The location for this hotel can't be beat. It is on the water with an amazing view and close to St. Mark's. Venice is beautiful but you are always lost on the winding streets. We never had a problem finding our hotel again because of its location. We had a very cool high tech shower but it leaked.
All personal were really good
Beautiful old hotel. small rooms, but efficient and comfortable for 2 people. Great decorative touches in the room. Our room had views of the grand canal, with windows that could've opened for a fresh breeze off the water. Breakfast included in the price of stay, and was delicious, with many options on the buffet, fresh made cappuccinos, and views of the water. Extremely easy access to vaporetto, minutes walk from San Marco and many restaurants and shops. Very friendly English speaking staff A con for some: we had to climb 2 flights of stairs to our room even after taking the elevator, which was fine for us, but may be problematic or some; the elevator was tiny, which seems fairly standard for Italy, but good to know. In general recommend packing light, no matter where you stay as navigating over bridges in the city can be challenging with big bags!
The view, the location and the room.
Take a water taxi to Piazza San Marco and you are only a few steps to the hotel. The hotel included a free boat trip to Murano to see a glass blowing studio and they also offer a one-hour boat tour around town in the afternoon for only 25 Euros per person. A decent hot and cold breakfast buffet was provided by the restaurant out front. We also enjoyed a dinner of traditional Italian specialties at the same restaurant in the evening. Our room was an inside room, so our view was only the courtyard area - but that was okay because all we had to do was step out the front door of the hotel and we were in the heart of beautiful scenery. If you request a waterfront room you will have gorgeous views. Our room seemed to be recently updated because everything looked clean and brand new. The bathroom was small but very modern with a relatively large walk-in shower - and it also looked like it had been recently renovated. The hotel common areas were undergoing renovations during our stay, but it did not disturb our visit at all. The hotel thought of everything - like a selection of soap products, hair dryer, mirrors, convenience packs, robes, etc., but it took up a great deal of space in an already tight bathroom.
The location of the hotel was ideal. It is a very short walk to Piazza San Marco. The hotel is also right next to some water ferry stations, which makes transportation easy. The staff serving breakfast were great. Air conditioner was not working.
The room was beautiful, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for reaching all the sites in Venice that we wanted to see. none.
The only reason I booked and paid a fortune for my room at this hotel was for the veiw , I was not given the room I booked and my veiw was rubbish . Would not recommend.
Nothings Really poor management & unfriendly to clients. Description on the website is big different to the actural.
Location Breakfast Very dirty furniture.
My room was amazing Overlooking water Great decor Bathroom was awesome Loved everything. Really!
Location, super nice staff, new rooms. For the price we were expecting a better view on the room. On the contrary we were situated on a back building
comfort and design of the room,view breakfast is too expensive
The Terrace Breakfast
the location, the history and interior fittings of the room,we did not really use any of the facilities we were not there long enough the receptionist said we had a restricted view, this actually meant no view , you could touch the building opposite, this was very dissapointing
The courtesy of the staff, nothing was too much trouble, the room was fabulous and the food superb. The location was just right, the hotel itself was a fantastic building and the decor was out of this world. No
The fantastic views across the venetian lagoon - main reason for choosing it. Service was also very high - they really wanted to help, even when the hotel was busy. A true 5* luxury hotel for a special occcasion. Everything was very expensive but it is a 5* hotel in Venice so you can expect nothing else! having a room ovrlooking the lagoon was great but you also get the noise - there is a major waterbus stop just outside (24 hour service) and a continuous flood of tourists passing so you are right in the middle of the bustle of Venice. Choose a room without the views ora hotel in a location away from San Marco if you want peace and quiet.
Location and nice hotel restaurant. We could celebrate the second birthday of our granddaughte with the song of the staff. Expensive
extremely professional staff, wonderful room, amazing location, a simply extraordinary hotel nothing
Definitely the location and the cadre, interior opulent surroundings. Professional and courteous concierge service. Comfortable large bed. The magnificent rooftop terrace. The only reservation was our room which although very large with high ceiling yet was quite dated, some worn out furniture, rusty heating grills, insufficient lighting, and mosquitoes. The bathroom was especially not up to par and to the high standard we expected.
This is a superb hotel, in a cracking location, litterally a couple of minutes walk from St Mark's Square, and seconds from the airport water bus stop.. The room and public areas were lovely. We saw no evidence of the staff being unhelpful, quite the contrary, they were very efficient, friendly and welcoming. Recommended. Nothing
Doing nothing for a week
Very clean and beautiful hotel. Recently renovated a year ago. Personable and friendly Multi-lingual speaking staff. Convenient access to San Marco Square, Oltrex, other shopping, eating, and sightseeing places. Would have been a great time saver for us if they knew of multiple various local restaurants, times open, and locations to suggest to guests for consideration. The one (and only) place they did suggest had great food and somewhat formal service and was easy to find.
We were lucky to be allocated a spacious room and the location is excellent.
Recently refurbished rooms so very clean. Great value for money. Fantastic location, just 5 mins walk to St Marcs Sq. Really happy with our whole stay. Shame the roof top was out of bounds due to under construction
centrally located. very helpful concierge a little loud on the street side.
Our biggest concern when booking a hotel for Venice was finding a hotel near the bus (vaporetti) to avoid dragging the suitcases. We could not have asked for a better location than hotel Paganelli. The stop San Marco/San Zaccaria was 200m from the hotel. The room was clean and spacious. The room smelled weird but I would guess that all the hotels in Venice smell the same due to the humidity from the water.
everyone was very pleasant & helpful/great location nothing
We stayed in a "superior" double room in the main building on 11th October. The room was small, dark and terribly cold. The bathroom was also cold. We asked for some heating, but the manager refused and argued that the heating will be switched on only end of October. So we froze horribly the whole night. The hotel should control the heating by the temperature and not by the calendar date.
that its right bang opp st mark/st Zaccaria water taxi stop.........it cant get more central than this hotel............it is so convenient you step out and your in the madness.........tourist / restaurant / water taxis / st marks square is just 5 mins walking distance.....i also stayed in another hotel inside but the experience here was just too good.........their breakfast was also excellent....we got one of the sea view suites which overlooks the port.....its really amazing........the size of the rooms were really good......i recommend this hotel to anyone........ya but i stayed in the new wing which is on the st marks port............... there was this Chinese guy (i think he was the night manager)after 9.00 pm........he was rude and had too much attitude.......the whole hotel staff was so nice but only this guy had a big problem......
the decoration in the room and the location of the hotel is great!! but the floor of the hotel is not smooth~~
hotel was great in quiet location and close to boat stop so not far to carry any luggage. I did notice alot of people walking round venice with bags looking lost so great for finding the hotel
Hotel was located out of the city centre of Venice which is away from the noise, and the room is nice roomy. We arrive very late on the day and the staff assist us on how to get to the hotel. The hotel is about 20 mins walk from St. Marco Square and 1 hr by ferry to Piazza Roma, therefore have to plan the time for travelling.
The staff was nice enough to say that they will take care of the complains and apologized. The breakfast had variety of food. The staff was nice enough to say that they will take care of the complains and apologized but it wasn't taken care of after all.
It had large modern rooms in a quieter area of Venice with some lovely green space but still close enough to the tourist attractions of Venice.
Location was good, rooms and bathrooms were good The reception staff were grumpy
The hotel was of a high modern standard. The rooms were well equipped although not large , were fine - although the views from the windows were not worth opening the shutters. The breakfast was excellent. The hotel is in a quite location around 15-20 minutes pleasant walk from St Marks Sq. A water bus stops just 2 mins walk from the hotel. (and goes to the Lido and all the Islands, as well as back to the Grand Canal in the other direction). The hotel did not have much "Venice" character. The pigeons in the courtyard were a real nuisance. They even landed on the tables and (although the staff cleaned up very quickly ) droppings were regular on the outside furniture.
The rooms were very large and nice for the price. The hotel is located a little over a mile from the Piazza San Marco which was totally feasible because you can walk along the water. We had a 1 year old in tow and it wasn't an issue for us. It was actually nice to be in a quiet area in the evenings. There were also a few parks near by which was great to allow our little one to run and play. The restaurant staff was friendly but the concierge and check-in staff were not so friendly or approachable as is to be expected from a person holding such position.
The location of the hotel is fabulous, away from the craziness of the crowds and the nearby park is terrific, especially for kids.
Location. It is a bit far from the city centre and major attractions but still within walking distance.
Cleanliness, food, staff, bed, information source, location
very peaceful,clean too very quiet in the bar in evenings,could not enjoy night in hotel,would have to venture out.could have been more of a choice i food for breakfast
Closeness to san marcs square. View over bridge of sighes Price of drinks, extras for eggs etc at breakfast
A lovely hotel in a great part of Venice, near St. Marks square. Clean rooms, nice breakfast. Our standard room was tiny. We could barely open our 2 suitcases up on the floor side by side at the foot of the bed and pass by to get to the washroom. The room was just bigger than the bed.
When staying here, I liked the way the hotel was decorated, very typically venetian but beautiful. I enjoyed the breakfasts, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. our room was plenty big enough and the walk from the hotel to the main square only took 2 minutes!
The staff were very accomodating, especially Antonio, who provided excellent references about shops and places to go, and provided excellent assistance with my computer.
Great location.Excellent helpful staff Room a little on the small size but adequate
Everything was perfect. The staff was friendly and very helpful. My wife and I and our 8 year old daughter were very comfortable and really enjoyed the services the hotel had to offer. Breakfast is excellent and you can also order items from a breakfast menu for additional price. We plan on returning to Venice in the future and will make sure to stay in this hotel again.
Perfect Location, very welcoming, comfortable. Overall I would highly reccomend.
beautiful room-lovely celilings, tastefully decorated Be careful with booking water-taxi service via the hotel. Agree on price and request pick-up at the hotel's mooring area on the hotel side. We were asked to walk with our luggage through the streets to meet a water-taxi at another location. Fee requested was Euro 60 (for three stops!), which we did not accept.
location bar prices
Arriving by boat; Location Must improve breakfast
very friendly and professional staff and perfect location of the hotel.
rooms very nice, location good.... staff very nice except for one person at the desk who soured our experience.
The location, the design Internet access not sufficent, 1 pc for the whole hotel, Breakfast average. Price too high
Great hotel, so welcoming. If the bar was open it would have been better.
excellent location with nice make up and helpful staff. room service was not available. Even no coffee/tea service in the room. Shame for a hotel of this grade and reputation.
Ideal situation near San Marco place and the vaporetto station. Quiet street . Excellent breakfast The hotel could improve the quality of the bedding and invest in duvet!We were suprised to leave our luggage in the corridor: they could have a luggage storage.
I am in a wheelchair and their accessible room was really great. Hotel had a lot of charm and the staff was very helpful. Would like a grab bar in the shower.
I liked the staff they were very friendly and the location is perfect its close to almost all the main tourist attractions in the city.The breakfast is amazing the cleanliness of the room and the hotel is superb too.
It's old but new, i mean it has all the facilities of a modern hotel, staff ok, clean.
Excellent location and staff very friendly and helpful. Beautifully furnished. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would recommend this hotel to friends and family (and would visit again ourselves).
It was such a beautiful hotel with excellent view of Venezia. The staff were very kind. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Good location close to the St Mark's square Bathroom cleaning could be improved
Location. However, if I had known the room was on 2 levels, I would not have booked accommodation at Liassidi Palace. Had I known the room we had booked was on 2 levels, I would never have booked the accommodation.
The room and location can't be beat. The room was large and very nicely decorated. The breakfast was fabulous and the service at breakfast was wonderful. We loved the lounge and ambience of the hotel.
very inviting place like you were not staying in a hotel.
Fantastic staff, great location, cool hotel design and décor, great bar and food. Will definitely stay there again.
Comfortable elegance at it's best. Warmest staff you will ever find anywhere in Venice. The staff could not do enough for us. Nothing was to much trouble. Spotless rooms, and nice views. The oriental bar is superb. We will always return to the Metropole when visiting Venice. After 10 days leaving was very hard.
The staff were excellent and helpful. The location of this hotel is fabulous. I emailed the hotel twice to confirm the booking and they did not respond until a third email. Breakfast is limited to one hot drink and the choice of food was not that extensive considering the cost of the room.
The hotel had personality. It was not part of a bland international chain. Each room is individually decorated with antique furniture. The staff were charming. It was very well located. It provides an excellent breakfast. It rained.
after my short stay i felt so relaxed the hotel is one of the best i have stayed in.the resturant was superb great location to wonder around.
Location Hotel old and decadent, the rooms have rickety furniture, dirty carpet, outdated bathrooms, and in general everything seems to be consumed, requiring renovation rather than a renewal. Absolutely not a 5 stars hotel, not a 4 stars, not a 3 stars, and so on...
Good location, nice view, beautiful decoration, helpful staff, very good breakfast, romantic atmosphere, best restaurant in town. Carpeting is a bit tired.
Good location, excellent service, friendly staff.
Warm friendly attmosphere in unusual and pleasant surroundings.Very relaxed and the gardens were a pleasant addition to a great experience
the room was wonderful and the in hotel restaurant was phenomenal.
I liked that it is so close to Saint Mark's Square
The attention and kindliness of the staff and (lady) owner
We love The Gabrielli. They gave us a nice room, very spacious, facing the "Isola St Georgio" with a superbe view of the "Riva". We had been there nine years ago and we were glad to see that the good service and amability is still there. Next time we would appreciate wi-fi in the room.
The upper roof was very nice to look for the whole city. And It is very good that after the sea bus immediately you can walk a little bit and than you can rest. Everything was fine and good
The location - it was very convenient for the main tourist sights and the roof terrace evening drinks on the roof gave a magical view of Venice - though the roof area was a bit jaded and the staff a little reluctant to offer service "on the roof" which is a pity because it was the hotel's main selling point. Faded splendour would be a kind comment, a sympathetic refurb would not be amiss.
Nicely located but expensive for what it is. Definitely not the best bang for the bucks.
Convenient location
The Location was close enough to St. Marks Square.
The staff were very helpful and courteous. The location was good for visiting and being on the sea reminded one constantly of being in Venice. In spite of poor weather conditions roof garden provided nice views. Prices in bar and restaurant rather steep and did not encourage one to use these services.
i requested a room with a great view and the request was granted. the staff was helpful and friendly. the room was very small and warm a ceiling fan in there would be nice.#(529)
Relatively slow internet with complex login procedures.
The location and the view is fantastict. The staff and the room was in top. We can surely recoment this hotel to anyone and we can hardly waite to go back !!
The room felt very upscale and the location was good. Breakfast was good quality. The staff was not very friendly, the bed was very firm, and the stand up shower flooded our bathroom floor everytime we used it.
The location is fantastic, just off the main tourist drag but close to everything. Gorgeous city and lagoon views from most windows. Breakfast tables outside face the water and boats. No complaints.
View on the lagune; design adn confort oth the room
room with a great view
Room & Location (not too near centre area which could be quite crowded None
The staff were excellent, in particular the reception staff, very friendly and helpful. Views from our particular room exceptional. Very clean and tidy, looking forward to staying there again in the near future. Like the majority of hotels in Venice somewhat overpriced, but it was high season.
This is a lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. We loved the view from our room, watching all the boats and cruise ships sail by was fascinating. The hotel was charming, small and friendly. The rooms were warm, clean and had all you needed The shower in my room needed a little work
The view from the room was fantastic. We had the corner room, with the view of St. Marco's and the Lagoon. Staff were extremly friendly and helpful. We had a pleasant stay there.
We stayed at this place for 2 nights, the room was very spacious and good value for the money. The breakfast was excellent compared to other places we've stayed. None
The Hotel is very classic. Great location. Very good staff. Beds were horrible but everything else great
Excellt location! We booked a "tripple room" with a balcony, which was good invetsment. Having a big balcony facing the canal clearly added value. Very friendly and helpful staff (helping us track a lost bag). A bit expensive, but probably good value for money in Venice. Breakfast ok, but not great.
noise! our room (407)was behind the breakfast room and next by the stairs
This hotel has the best staff and management of any hotel I have stayed at. I am not sure there is anything else I can say. Very positive experience.
Central location; good size bathrooms. Hotel building, reception and hall/stairways were extremely shabby. Rooms very dark. Not at all what we were expecting from the photos. We were expecting a 4* hotel as the Casa was listed with the much grander Hotel Priuli, which was misleading. Very poor value for money.
it felt like awarm cozy castle with Venecian character. The staff, rooms,and breakfast were great. We would absolutely return. Beds a bit too hard .
Well located, staff came immediately to unload water taxi and get us into room. Very helpful with tourist arrangements. Good atmosphere Do not try and get there from public transport. Use a water taxi . but no worse than others and better than most
the closness to St Marco Plaza. See first answer.
Great Hotel and Location Yes; I could not find the hotel. Very hard to locate at first.
The rooms are very lovely in a perfect mix of old style and new design. Everything in the hotel has been carefully redone in respect to the age of the house. the receptionist was loudly and more than once dicussing the price of the hotel with the same guest.
Excellent staff. They were extremely friendly and helpful. Very kid friendly.
very comfortable, great breakfast, and a great location.The staff were very friendly, courteous, and went out of their way to make sure that your experience there was a pleasant one I had no complaints whatsoever
Location and comfort. We would certainly use this hotel again.
staff were personal and helpful
The rooms were excellent and the staff was very helpful.
The Hotel was very clean and the staff were a delight. The Hotel itself is a beautiful old building with loads of character.
Great location and style. Friendly staff giving good advice. Too much heating. Steep stairs to get to the rooms.
The hotel is in a great location - rooms are large & impressive. Staff friendly & helpful. Our room was located beside the kitchen so it was difficult to sleep through the breakfast preparations each morning.
It was absolutely fantastic! If you stay at the hotel try and upgrade to room 21 or 20 - they have 2 balconies overlooking the square 'Santa Maria Formosa' and are absolutely beautiful. One of the best hotels my Wife and I have ever stayed at - absolutely excellent
The staff were wonderful! Very helpful, very informative, very accommodating! Incredible location, and the hotel has a complimentary taxi and private glass blowing tour on Murano Island. I would recommend this hotel to everyone going to Venice!!!!!!!!!
The service from the front desk was outstanding! NA
Site, politeness of the personnel, breakfast
Very nicely refurbished hotel Very limited continental buffet, no toast, teaspoon only for cereal. Street/canal noise at night. Extremely rude and unhelpful staff. Especially the desk boy. Find another hotel
location, decoration, cleanliness, service, spaces breakfast
Brilliant location close to Doge's Palace, St Mark's Square, restaurants and shops. Staff were helpful and friendly.
Quality of room finish was fantastic. The location was perfect, 5 mins from St Marks so easy to walk but just away from the noise and bustle, especially quiet with a room over the inner courtyard. The staff hit just the right balance of helpful friendliness. The shower with multilple jets looked appealing but was too powerful for the seal on the shower door, but that was absolutely the only thing I could fault!
Very friendly and helpfull staff. Hotel situated very close to San Marco in a quiet street with lots of restaurants and shops in the neighbourhood. We got a junior suite (unexpected) and it was really very clean and nice!
Large and spacious room, very comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom with all the amenities. Excellent location. Decent breakfast included. Very hospitable and helpful desk clerk Two rooms at the rear of the hotel face a schoolyard; only noisy if the windows are open.
The location is great and very close to Piazza San Marco, it is also very quiet at night, the facilities are beautiful and modern There could have been better and more varied breakfast options
The Hotel Ai Due Principi has a fantastic location, very near St Mark's but on a quiet, beautiful canal. It has an old façade but was obviously gutted and totally redone inside so the rooms and bathrooms are very modern and comfortable. It is family run and the staff could not have been more helpful with recommendations and extra requests. They were incredibly nice without being overbearing.
The hotel was clean, staff lovely and oh so warm and comfortable. The room was nicely decorated and laid out and the shower and water really hot and powerful. Thi sis the 5th time I have stayed at this hotel and it would always be my first choice in Venice.
I was running in the Venice annual orienteering festival which started and finished almost at the hotel door, so it was very convenient and I'd consider staying there again next year! The staff were very helpful in organising a trip to the opera and keeping luggage after check out. Their english was excellent. Breakfast was basic, and the coffee undrinkable - the only problem point!
very cooperative and pleasent staff plus the location of the hotel breakfast
Great air conditioning in room Only one electrical outlet in bedroom. Not efficient for charging electronics or useful in setting up necessary medical sleep machine; paint needs freshing
four of us have been staying at this hotel for 5 to 6 years and will continue to do so
Location The carpet was dirty.
Location and staff bathroom was not very confortable when using the toilet, since it is to closo to the wall...
Excellent location. Very good restaurants close by. Lovely clean room with balcony and wonderful view.
The excellent location, the friendly and helpful staff Water in shower was not warm enough
Everything was superb, could not recommend this hotel enough, staff were 1st class, location super. Breakfast was not to my fancy, but that is only a small thing.
Very friendly and helpfull staff. Clean rooms with all the comfort.
Staff was very accommodating & pleasant. Water taxi very convenient. Great location by St Mark's Square. Diner recommendation at Carpaccio's was excellent!
Location very good, room comfortable and hotel appearance lovely. some staff very helpful and the location very close to the vaparetto water stop san zancharria. ideal for weekend stay. breakfast provided but scarce and not much variety. booking.com indicated free wifi but this was untrue and we had to pay for wifi. overall the hotel could've put us in a better room as we were staying four days, room basic and expensive for what it was but location spot on.
The room was very clean and the bathroom looked fairly new, so it was quite large, clean and had a bath. The hotel is also situated in a very quiet spot.
hotel staff were helpful, the location is very close to San Marco Sq. We had 2 rooms there, air condition was not efficient in one of the rooms. and the style of the rooms were old looking.
The continental breakfast. Close to many popular sites. Close to the water bus.
A fabulous hotel. book with confidence. The room and ensuite were great, breafast offered varied choice and the position was close to the piazza and main shopping area. The staff helped us too.
it's location the rooms were small, you could hear everything in the other rooms and hallways, there was no restaurant, the tv did not function properly only a couple of channels were clear. the room had no decor, and the bed linens looked used and old and wornout
Staff were helpful And friendly
The staff was so kind and verey helpful, room and the bath was very good in clean, size, quite, free internet, only the break fast could be butter and more choises. If there is varity in type of break fast, other was every thing is just pperfect.
location; friendly staff; cleanliness
The location of the hotel was superb, so central and just next to the vaporreta.The room was a reasonable size,as was the bathroom, both clean and nice towels. the breakfast was fine but exactly the same each day.some of the staff were not at all friendly,or helpfull.
location pillows were horrible, room tiny. The only place they did not clean was under the bed. Breakfast buffet just fair
Excellent location to see the sights around Venice, good breakfast the room has been too warm although we stayed there in November, had to pay for WLAN.
The location was excellent... right in the heart of Venice, with easy transport nearby. For the area it was good value for money. We went in Nov. The heating was on in the hotel and it was very warm in our room. Nobody seemed able to do anything about this though. Also, the staff didn't seem overly knowledgeable about the area, (or if they were they didn't seem to want to share it with us!) They could really do with tea/coffee making facilities in the room too.
Breakfast was excellent. Location is wonderful. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Their location is really good. near the water bus station & near the san marco square. if they offer some fruit for breakfast, it'd be better but totally is was good for me.
the location is excellent it is not the cleanesse hotel
The location is excellent, the staff is also nice and helpful 200 euros per night is a little bit much for it even given it's location
very convenient location, situated close to SanMarco Square. Friendly staff, comfortable bedroom with en suite shower- which worked. Standard uninspiring breakfast but good coffee No towels provided on last night and only one spare one discovered by hotel staff.
Spacious room. Spacious bathroom. Nicely decorated. Friendly staff. Difficult to find. There are 3 streets with the same name in Venice. Suggest you use water taxi to get there the first time. We walked for hours before we gave up and asked the hotel to send someone to fetch us.
Helpful staff Laundry is expensive Eu 130. Beware of high tides when arriving or leaving. Water taxi is essential to find the hotel - this is dependent on tides. Water Taxis are expensive eu 80
beautifully furnished. spacious and quiet poor directions from #1 Vaparetto
The Aqua Palace was the perfect hotel for our first visit to Venice. It is beautifully designed, the suite we booked was incredibly comfy and **so** quiet, especially at night. An excellent buffet breakfast is available. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us. What's not to like? We'd go back in a heartbeat. It rained.
good situation, nice staff, good breakfast bathroom not enogh space for cosmetic"s etc. not enogh ligth
If you, just like us, arrive late in the evening, you will find the hotel easely. Just in front of the vaporette! I asked the hotelstaff several things , and there was no problem at all. There is no elevator in the hotel, for us it was no problem, because we stayed on the 1 floor. But if your room is on the 4e floor.....
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is can't-beat (right where the Tronchetto ferry exits at St. Mark's square stop). The room was clean and the bathroom was in very good condition.
relaxed, easy going atmosphere room too warm at night, aircon did not work
perfect location! Only 5 minutes walk to Basilica di San Marco! Breakfast in the glass-celling cafeteria was nice! no flip-flops provided
Very nice location, when we got to Venice we took a water bus to an area we thought was close to the hotel, when we got off the boat we found the hotel was right there! In front of us! Very kind and helpful staff, a small but clean and sweet room! Very nice breakfast! It's totally worth it at its price!
We stayed at the hotel bruno for 5 nights and really enjoyed our stay , friendly and very helpfull staff also a very good buffet breakfast , also the hotel is very well situated
Igor the receptionist recommended a lovely restaurant as we arrived very late at night. Many thanks. Staff generally very friendly. fantastic location between St Marks and Rialto. Bathroom was extremely cramped.
Extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Very convenient location.
The central location was excellent. Also the hotel is close to many restaurants and bars. Room sizes were good, except for the shower room. Breakfast also good. Our shower room was very cramped. Also the shower cubicle itself was very small. Our friends had a lovely sized bathroom
the location only a few "blocks" from the Rialto Bridge. no elevator!
The location is pretty convenient for tourists. Hotel staff was very helpful. Breakfast choice was excellent. Room decorated with tastes. Bathroom big with a window and a jacuzzi tub. It was a very small room. With three beds, there was not much space to walk around the beds. There was a bathtub but no shower curtain - tough to take a shower standing in the tub. We tried to use the jacuzzi tub according to the instruction and somehow flooded the floor. The guests below us would not provide excellent review with dripping water from the ceiling.
Venice is expensive anyway so price was reasobale and location v good Would have been nice to have a lift ! Room a little on the small side and shower cubicle ridicoulosly small Staff friendly and helpful No lift Small rooms etc
Good location and no noise from the street. No elevator
An excellent hotel - clean, friendly English speaking staff, good value, great breakfast and conveniently located near San Marco. Hotel also provided very clear maps and directions which are needed. Highly recommended.
location in Venice street noise - but then it is venice!

Educate yourself about the procedure by having thorough conversations with your surgeon and think about how liposuction has the possible to impact you as a distinct person. Only you and your surgeon can figure out if liposuction will offer you with the outcomes you are searching for within your expectations.

NEW YORK - (AP) - Four men snared in an FBI terrorism sting havebeen convicted in a plot to blow up New York City synagogues andshoot down military planes.
A jury reached the verdict Monday in federal court in Manhattanafter deliberating for more than a week.
Prosecutors had accused James Cromitie of hatching the schemewith a paid FBI informant he met at a mosque north of New York cityin Newburgh. They also said Cromitie recruited his threeco-defendants to fire heat-seeking missiles at cargo planes.
The informant helped make hundreds of hours of surveillancetapes that were played at the trial. The defense argued thegovernment entrapped their clients.
A judge denied a request for a mistrial last week after a jurorcame across a document in an evidence binder that shouldn't havebeen there. The juror was dismissed.

of all the names on that list, those that played for the Phils are as follows: David Bell (stiff), Paul Byrd (stiff), Lenny (stud), Ryan Franklin (?? STIFF), Jason Grimsley (stiff), Jeremy Giambi (stiff), Abraham Nunez (??? servicable), and I'm sure I'm missing some. I'm a bit surprised by Pujols being on there.
The names that surprise me the most are MLB's Golden Boy Pujols, Nomar, and Prior. Now that we know Pujols is a cheater, hopefully MLB will start looking for a real baseball superstar and promote the crap out of Howard, Rollins and Utley.
The surprise is no Darren Daulton! And the biggest surprise is Pujols and Varitek. Oh well it's now a lawyers dream and the lawsuits will begin in earnest, slander suots and liable. It sure isn't over by any means. Nomas, Mo Vaughn and Varitek does that add enough Red Sox to the mix to appease the Yankee fans or King George?
I'm not finding Pujols' name on the actual list… did he really get accused by Mitchell?

DST-backed Spotify plots new fundraising round
Digital Sky Technologies-backed Spotify, which closed a $100m fundraising round last year valuing it at about $1bn, is seeking to raise between $100m and $200m in a new investment round that would value the Swedish digital music service at nearly $4bn.
The loss-making Swedish start-up is said to be targeting marquee venture capital firms and financial backers including Goldman Sachs. Meanwhile, Coca-Cola, which has collaborated with Spotify on several music-related projects, is apparently considering making a nominal investment in the business.

We get a lot of trick or treaters in my subdivision. I'd like to give them something other than candy, which they get plenty of elsewhere. I want it to be something they'll like. Does anyone have an idea or something they've done before that pleased the little ones?
Kelly from Dallas
One year I gave out the plastic Halloween rings...you could check the birthday section in Walmart and get something in bulk to give out...
we give out school supplies like pencils erasers small boxes of crayons, glue,etc
All of the above sound great. Although I don't do Halloween anymore, in the past I have given out pencils, stickers, etc. Another idea is to give out coupons that alot of the fast food restaurants sell now. You can buy a book for about $5.00 and items vary. It could be a pack of fries, a small ice cream, etc. depending on what place you purchase the book from. I think this helps parents out that don't like to see the kids getting alot of candy, and it gives the kids something to look forward to.
One year I handed out a combination of little trinkets I had around the house - pencils, keychains, charms and so on. Plus pennies. It was a good way of emptying the junk drawer.

This year we ordered tattoos and stickers from Oriental Trading Company. (www.orientaltrading.com) They are very cheap. 72 tattoos for under $5 and 100 stickers on a roll were under $3.
We have also given out freezer pops in the tubes. I'm not sure what they're called but very cheap and the kids loved them. Freeze them and pull them apart before you start, if you're in a hurry and try to pull them apart when thawed you can make a heck of a mess.
We also clear out the Happy Meal toys collected throughout the year that were duplicated or 'for boys'.
Might be a little more costly, but I think it's a great idea to give some type of drink, like the little juice boxes or pouches (usually 10 for about $2). Maybe you could come up with another alternative, depending on what's available in your area. I remember it being a great TREAT as a kid when a local man who worked for Pepsi handed out a can drink to each of his Trick or Treaters! Helped wash down all those good munchies!
popcorn balls,friut roll ups,granola bars,trial size cereal.
Try Oriental Trading. You can get lots different of trickets in bulk for next to nothing. I'm pretty sure they have a website too
Anna, NYC
Hi Kelly,
We give the small bags of potato chips. The kids love them.
Our neighbor came over with their children before they went to town for the occassion and I handed out toothbrushes and small tubes of toothpaste to each one. I made popcorn balls and oatmeal cookies for them. For baby, a jar of baby fruit/veggie/canned fruit as baby was too young for candy. The parents loved the special treat.
Tons of great ideas! I especially like the school supplies and coupons.
Try orientaltrading.com. I got stencil bookmarks for CHEAP!!
http://www.orientaltrading.com/appl ... p;Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&N=0
I got stuff for my two kids to take to school for Halloween, Birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's Day, plus a couple of fun things for $60.00, so because I was registered with their website, I got free shipping!!
Also, some friends of mine give out Shasta orange soda pop just to be different.
Walmart has tons of goodies! Fun Halloween versions of pretzels, animal crackers, pencils, straws, microwave popcorn and even cheetos! There is plenty of good things to give besides candy!
I have tried over the years to collect small toy and school items after other holidays when they are 75% to 90% off, mostly at dollar general and family dollar. Walmart isn't so good with their sales anymore. Anyway they last for years because they aren't food.

Randomized Phase II Study of Maintenance Pemetrexed Versus Observation for Patients With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Without Progression After First-Line Chemotherapy
The purpose of this trial is to study how well pemetrexed disodium or observation works in treating patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma without progressive disease after first-line chemotherapy. Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Stanford is not currently accepting new patients for this trial. You may want to check clinicaltrials.gov to see if other locations are recruiting.

Angry woman riding Splash Mountain was born to be a meme
Splash Mountain sucks. It's, like, six seconds of actual ride. It features the jankiest animatronics in the entire amusement park. The line is always way too long, and there's a chance you'll spend the rest of the day soaked in that dirty, recycled log-flume water. It's a bottom-tier attraction propped up by the same weird nostalgia that convinces people the Haunted Mansion is still a worthy endeavor in 2016. Seriously, fuck Splash Mountain.

LATISHA MAYS, PLAINTIFF,v.FREDERICK LANE AND RYAN LANE, DEFENDANTS.
Memorandum and Order
Plaintiff, Latisha Mays ("Mays" or "plaintiff"), commenced this action August 9, 2010 against Ryan Lane ("Lane") and Frederick Lane (collectively, "defendants") pursuant to New York Insurance Law § 5104 (the "No Fault Statute"), seeking to recover for personal injuries she allegedly sustained as a result of a car accident with defendant Ryan Lane. Plaintiff also alleges negligent entrustment against defendant Frederick Lane. The case was commenced in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County, and on October 20, 2010 was removed on the basis of diversity jurisdiction to this Court. Plaintiff seeks partial summary judgment on the issue of liability. For the following reasons, Plaintiff's motion is denied.
The following facts are undisputed unless otherwise noted. On the afternoon of January 12, 2010, Mays was driving her 2006 Jeep Liberty northbound in the left lane of the three-lane Hutchison River Parkway in the Bronx, New York. Affidavit of Alexander Ogden dated Apr. 23, 2012 ("Ogden Aff.") Ex. C ("Pl.'s Dep."), at 17-23. A green Jaguar car broke down, blocking the lane in front of Mays. Ogden Aff. Ex. D ("Lane Dep."), at 17. Mays came to a complete stop a few cars behind the Jaguar. Lane Dep. at 14; Pl.'s Dep. at 27.
Defendant Ryan Lane was also driving northbound on the Hutchinson River Parkway in the left lane. Lane Dep. at 21; Pl.'s Dep. at 25. Although it was winter, the day was sunny and the roads were clear; traffic was moving at the speed limit. Lane Dep. at 11-12; Pl.'s Dep. at 23. Lane was driving a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta owned by his father, Frederick Lane. Lane Dep., at 7-8. It is undisputed that there were two cars behind Mays and ahead of Lane and that those cars switched lanes to avoid and pass Mays. Lane Dep. at 20-22; Pl.'s Dep. at 25-26. Lane alleges that his view was blocked by the cars, one of which was a sport utility vehicle, and therefore he could not see Mays until the cars ahead abruptly switched lanes. Lane Dep. at 11, 20-21. Because the parkway lacked a left-hand shoulder and there was traffic in the lane to the right of him, he was unable to also switch lanes, Lane Dep. at 13, 21-22, and, despite braking, he struck the rear bumper of Mays' stopped car. Id. at 15. Plaintiff alleges that as a result of the impact she suffered pain and injuries, necessitating physical therapy and surgeries on her shoulder and neck. Pl.'s Dep. at 41-44, 53-74.
Diversity of citizenship, which is not disputed, provides a basis for jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1). Plaintiff is a citizen of New York. Notice of Removal ¶ 3(a). Defendant Frederick Lane is a citizen of the District of Columbia. Id. ¶ 3(b). Defendant Ryan Lane was a citizen of Connecticut at the time this action was commenced and currently resides in Massachusetts. Id. ¶ 3(c). Plaintiff seeks more than $75,000.00 in damages.
I.Plaintiff's Failure to File a Rule 56.1 Statement
As an initial matter, defendants argue plaintiff's motion should be denied because plaintiff failed to file a Local Rule 56.1 Statement or a response to defendants' Rule 56.1 Statement. Local Rule 56.1 requires that a party moving for summary judgment submit a list of the material facts as to which there is no genuine issue to be tried, along with "citation to evidence which would be admissible, set forth as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(e)." Loc. Civ. R. 56.1. "The requirement is strict; failure to submit a Rule 56.1 statement with a motion for summary judgment may result in the motion's denial." T.Y. v. N.Y. City Dep't of Educ., 584 F.3d 412, 417 (2d Cir. 2009) (citing Loc. Civ. R. 56.1(a)); see, e.g., Mu Yan Lin v. Burlington Ins. Co., No. 11 Civ. 33 (PGG), 2012 WL 967633, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 21, 2012) (collecting cases denying movant's summary judgment motion for failure to submit a Rule 56.1 statement). However, "[a] district court has broad discretion to determine whether to overlook a party's failure to comply with local court rules. . . . [and] may in its discretion opt to conduct an assiduous review of the record even where one of the parties has failed to file such a statement." Holtz v. Rockefeller & Co., Inc., 258 F. 3d 62, 73 (2d Cir. 2001).
The purpose of Local Rule 56.1 is "to aid the courts in deciding summary judgment motions by quickly identifying disputed material facts." T.Y., 584 F.3d at 417. Here, the record essentially consists of two short depositions: that of plaintiff Latisha Mays and that of defendant Ryan Lane. The material facts are clear. Plaintiff's failure to file a Rule 56.1 statement will be overlooked and the Court will not deny the motion on these grounds.
II.Summary Judgment Standard
Summary judgment is appropriate "if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). As an initial matter, the moving party has the burden of demonstrating that no genuine dispute of material fact exists for trial. Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 586, 106 S. Ct. 1348, 89 L. Ed. 2d 538 (1986). "A party asserting that a fact cannot be or is genuinely disputed must support the assertion by: (A) citing to particular parts of materials in the record, including depositions, documents, electronically stored information, affidavits or declarations, stipulations (including those made for purposes of the motion only), admissions, interrogatory answers, or other materials; or (B) showing that the materials cited do not establish the absence or presence of a genuine dispute, or that an adverse party cannot produce admissible evidence to support the fact." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c)(1).
Once the moving party has met this burden, the opposing party "'must do more than simply show that there is some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts. . . .
[T]he nonmoving party must come forward with specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.'" Caldarola v. Calabrese, 298 F.3d 156, 160 (2d Cir. 2002) (emphasis in original) (quoting Matsushita, 475 U.S. at 586-87). "If a party fails to properly support an assertion of fact or fails to properly address another party's assertion of fact as required by Rule 56(c), the court may . . . grant summary judgment if the motion and supporting materials-including the facts considered undisputed-show that the movant is entitled to it." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(e).
The Court is compelled to draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the nonmoving party, Matsushita, 475 U.S. at 586, and a genuine dispute exists if a reasonable jury could find in favor of the non-moving party. SeeAnderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248, 106 S. Ct. 2505, 2510, 91 L. Ed. 2d 202 (1986). However, "[i]f the evidence is merely colorable, or is not significantly probative, summary judgment may be granted." Anderson, 477 U.S. at 249--50 (citations omitted). "[T]he mere existence of some alleged factual dispute between the parties" alone will not defeat a properly supported motion for summary judgment. Id. at 247--48 (emphasis in original). "Thus, the nonmoving party may not rest upon mere conclusory allegations or denials but must set forth 'concrete particulars' showing that a trial is needed." R.G. Grp., Inc. v. Horn & Hardart Co., 751 F.2d 69, 77 (2d Cir. 1984) (quoting S.E.C. v. Res. Automation Corp., 585 F.2d 31, 33 (2d Cir. 1978)).
"[S]ummary judgment is 'highly unusual' in a negligence case, because such a case requires a determination of the reasonableness of a party's conduct, and 'the assessment of reasonableness is generally a factual question to be addressed by the jury.'" Maizous v. Garaffa, No. 00 Civ. 4895 (ILG), 2002 WL 1471556, at *3 (E.D.N.Y. Apr. 30, 2002) (citations omitted) (quoting King v. Crossland Sav. Bank, 111 F.3d 251, 259 (2d Cir. 1997)). Nonetheless, "'the mere fact that a case involves a claim of negligence does not preclude a granting of summary judgment.'" Id. (quoting Cumminsky v. Chandris, S.A., 719 F. Supp. 1183, 1186 (S.D.N.Y. 1989)).
III.Negligence of Defendant Ryan Lane
Plaintiff seeks partial summary judgment on the issue of liability on the grounds that the undisputed facts establish defendant Ryan Lane was negligent as a matter of law because he struck Mays' stopped vehicle from behind. Under New York law, "a driver is expected to drive at a sufficiently safe speed and to maintain enough distance between himself and cars ahead of him so as to avoid collisions with stopped vehicles, taking into account the weather and road conditions." Malone v. Morillo, 6 A.D.3d 324, 325, 775 N.Y.S.2d 312 (1st Dep't 2004) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted).*fn1 This duty is codified in New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1129(a), which provides that "[t]he driver of a motor vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of such vehicles and the traffic upon and the condition of the highway." Consequently, "when a defendant operates a vehicle that strikes another vehicle in the rear, the defendant is subject to a presumption that he or she was negligent in failing to keep a safe distance between the vehicles," Abramov v. Campbell, 303 A.D.2d 697, 697, 757 N.Y.S.2d 100 (2d Dep't 2003), and "the injured occupants of the front vehicle are entitled to summary judgment on liability, unless the driver of the following vehicle can provide a nonnegligent explanation, in evidentiary form, for the collision," Johnson v. Philips, 261 A.D.2d 269, 271, 690 N.Y.S.2d 545 (1st Dep't 1999) (collecting cases). "The duty of providing an explanation is imposed upon the operator of the moving vehicle 'because he or she is in the best position to explain whether the collision was due to a mechanical failure, a sudden stop of the vehicle ahead, an unavoidable skidding on a wet pavement, or some other reasonable cause.'" Perez v. Guerrero, No. 10 Civ. 4287 (GWG), 2011 WL 1794352, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. May 11, 2011) (quoting Leal v. Wolff, 224 A.D.2d 392, 393, 638 N.Y.S.2d 110 (2d Dep't 1996)). The parties do not dispute that Ryan Lane collided with the rear of plaintiff's car. Thus, plaintiff has made out a prima facie claim of negligence and the remaining issue is whether defendants have raised a material issue of fact as to the existence of a non-negligent explanation.
A.Contributory Negligence
Defendants argue summary judgment should be denied because plaintiff stopped abruptly, contributing to the accident. Defs.' Mem. at 2. There is some dispute as to whether, under New York law, an allegation that the front vehicle stopped suddenly or abruptly can constitute a non-negligent explanation sufficient to rebut the presumption of negligence arising from a rear-end collision. See, e.g., Hong v. Maher, No. 02 Civ. 7825 (RWS), 2004 WL 771127, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. April 13, 2004) (noting conflicting cases within the Second Department, alone). As defendants correctly note, this Court previously held that a sudden stop by a plaintiff may constitute negligence and raise a triable issue of fact. See Maizous, 2002 WL 1471556, at *3-4 (collecting cases). The Court observed that an instructive example is where a plaintiff, following too closely behind the car in front of him and at too great a speed, comes to a sudden stop, causing the car to the rear to strike him. Id. at *6. Contributory negligence would be appropriate because each driver "should be a sufficient distance behind the forward car and each should be traveling at a sufficiently low rate of speed so that he will not cause damage to the car ahead if he stops or to the car behind by stopping suddenly." Id. (emphasis in original) (quotation omitted). In Maizous, this Court denied summary judgment on the grounds that both defendant and plaintiff had violated that duty. Id. at 5.
Maizous and the cases upon which it relied are plainly distinguishable because there is nothing in the record that indicates plaintiff was in any way negligent in her driving. Plaintiff came to a controlled stop due to a broken-down car in her lane and had been at a complete stop for several seconds before the accident. Her actions were not unlawful or negligent. See Gregson v. Terry, 35 A.D.3d 358, 827 N.Y.S.2d 181 (2d Dep't 2006) (summary judgment appropriate on liability where "[t]he presence of [a] stationary vehicle directly ahead of [plaintiff], and the heavy flow of traffic in the adjacent lane, provided [him] with a lawful reason for stopping (see Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1200[a]), and there is no allegation that he stopped short or was otherwise negligent in bringing his vehicle to a halt."). According to Ryan Lane's testimony, it was not plaintiff's actions that were sudden but his own discovery of the obstacle, due to the cars in front of him blocking his view. Consequently, plaintiff bears no comparative fault and summary judgment will not be denied on these grounds.
B.Obstruction of View
Defendants also argue summary judgment should be denied because Ryan Lane was unable to see Mays' stopped car until the two vehicles ahead of him abruptly changed lanes, presenting an unexpected hazard that he was unable to avoid-a nonnegligent explanation for the collision. In support, defendants cite to Ortiz v. Rosner, 817 F. Supp. 348 (S.D.N.Y. 1993). There, the defendant was driving in moving traffic through a green light, and glanced to his right in order to safely move lanes. "When he looked forward, the car that he had been following was no longer there and, instead, he saw Ortiz's vehicle stopped in his lane. [Defendant] then hit the brakes but was unable to come to a complete stop." Id. at 352 (internal citations and quotation omitted). The court denied summary judgment on liability, finding that "the jury could rationally infer that the car traveling in front of defendant's taxi was blocking [plaintiff's] stationary van from his sight and that the car abruptly changed lanes to avoid Ortiz's van, only then revealing the van to [defendant]. . . . Under these circumstances, the presence of [plaintiff's] van, stopped at a green light, could have been unforeseeable and could have occurred without warning to defendant." Id. at 352-53. Similarly, in Torres v. WABC Towing Corp., 282 A.D.2d 406, 724 N.Y.S.2d 49 (1st Dep't 2001), defendant was traveling below the speed limit when he suddenly observed plaintiff about 50 feet away, stopped around the bend of a curve in the road. Defendant attempted to change lanes, and, when he could not do so, slammed on his brakes, but skidded into plaintiff. The court noted that there was adequate evidence for the jury to find that the collision was attributable to causes other than defendant's negligence.
Based upon the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the defendants, a reasonable jury could find that Ryan Lane was traveling within the speed limit and driving with appropriate caution under the prevailing traffic conditions: he was on a parkway, it was mid-afternoon, the weather was clear, and traffic was moving at an ordinary rate. A jury could find that, as in Ortiz and Torres, he had no reason to expect a car stopped in the middle of the road. A reasonable jury could find that the car in front of Lane, a sport utility vehicle, is significantly higher off the ground than a VW Jetta and effectively blocked Lane's view of the road ahead. A reasonable jury could also find that Mays' stopped car was only revealed to Lane when the cars in front of him abruptly changed lanes to avoid her and that Lane was unable to take evasive action because of the road divider to the left of him and traffic to the right of him. Because a reasonable jury could find that the collision occurred without negligence on Ryan Lane's part, a material issue of fact exists and summary judgment cannot be granted for plaintiff.
For the foregoing reasons, the Court denies plaintiff's motion for summary judgment.

November 14, 1955
Appeal, No. 122, Jan. T., 1955, from decree of Orphans' Court of Clinton County, File No. 8220, in re Estate of Frances Zimmermann, Dec'd. Decree affirmed.
H. Ober Hess, with him Sherwin T. McDowell and Ballard, Spahr, Andrews & Ingersoll, for appellant.
H. Clay McCormick, with him Malcolm Muir, James T. Smith, and Furst, McCormick, Muir & Lynn, for appellee.
Before Stern, C.j., Stearne, Jones, Musmanno and Arnold, JJ.
The appeal is from a decree of the Orphans' Court of Clinton County refusing an issue devisavit vel non on the ground of alleged testamentary incapacity. The court decided that no substantial dispute existed upon any material fact.
Counsel for appellant, in their paper book, make reference to the Orphans' Court Act of August 10, 1951, P.L. 1163, 20 PS 2080.101 et seq. Section 745 of art. VII of the Act provides that where a substantial dispute is a matter of right. In Section 746(c) of the trial is a matter of right. In Section 746(c) of the Act, it is enacted: "Effect of verdict. The verdict of the jury in the orphans' court shall have the same effect
[ 383 Pa. Page 44]
as the verdict of a jury in a case at law in a court of common pleas." The Act, however, does not change the well-established principle that before an issue devisavit vel non is granted there must be a judicial determination that a substantial dispute exists. The question of construing Section 746(c) of the Act of 1951, supra, relatign to jury trials, is not now before us.
Undoubtedly there is evidence in the present case on behalf of appellant which, standing alone without considering the overwhelming testimony of proponent to the contrary, might indicate a substantial dispute. We have read and considered the evidence with great care. We are unable to profitably add to what Judge VAN RODEN has correctly decided in his opinion refusing the grant of an issue.
Decree affirmed. Parties to bear their respective costs.

Omalix: A Portrait
The first thing I do is to think about the composition of the painting. I always decide the size and proportion of my painting surface after I know exactly the composition I want. Once I know that, I do an underdrawing and then move to the first layer of paint. The brushwork in the first few layers is loose, so that some of the texture remains visible. Then, I carefully keep building layers and glazes and add more details to certain areas like the eyes, nose, lips, and hair. Also, lately I've been enjoying purposely leaving the painting with some less developed areas such as the t-shirt in this specific painting because I like the contrast between the minute details and the slightly unfinished feel.
A group of friends recently decided to create portraits of each other, so this one is only the second one I have done for that series. So far, it has been fun to take short little breaks from my ongoing self-portrait series. I have also taken the opportunity to experiment with a different painting surface from my usual linen or wood panel by trying frosted Mylar film. Hopefully, this series will continue for a little while, and I'm excited to see what I will learn from it.
Omalix is a Figurative painter and photographer born in Valencia, Venezuela and based in Orlando, FL. She graduated magna cum laude from the University of Central Florida where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Painting. Her work has been shown in various group exhibitions including the Women Painting Women at RJD Gallery, as well as in a solo show at Sirona Fine Art Gallery. Her photography was included in the Fifth Annual Exposure Award digital showcase in a private reception at the Louvre Museum in Paris and has also made her one of the winners of Ron Howard's Project Imaginat10n. www.omalix.com

The One Oil Trade You Need to Be in TodayBy Matt Badiali, editor, S&A Resource Report
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
Today, we're sharing one more reason to own U.S. oil stocks. The government is going to be on our side soon...
Regular Growth Stock Wire readers know the U.S. energy boom is this decade's greatest investment theme. New drilling technologies have allowed the U.S. to tap into vast oil and gas reserves.
As a result, oil stocks have soared. The Market Vectors Unconventional Oil & Gas Fund (FRAK) is up around 60% over the past two years. This fund is made up of U.S oil and gas producers.
But there are even more gains to come... as we've recently told you in these pages, the U.S. energy boom isn't even close to being over, U.S. oil production is going to keep soaring, and Russia is indirectly supporting the boom. In short, oil stocks will continue to make many people rich.
But there's another reason U.S. oil stocks are about to head higher... exports.
Let me explain...
On June 24, the U.S. Commerce Department approved the export of certain kinds of "condensate" without a license. Condensate is basically a light version of crude oil, made up of hydrocarbons – like gasoline and lighter fluid.
The media hailed the ruling as the first relaxation of the ban on U.S. crude oil exports. In the 1970s, it became illegal to export oil from the U.S.
But according to legal expert Jacob Dweck, that isn't a relaxation of the ban. Dweck represented the oil companies seeking permission from the Commerce Department to export U.S. condensates.
I heard him speak at the 2014 Energy Information Administration Energy Conference in Washington, D.C. this week.
Dweck told the audience the legality of exports comes down to the government's definition of crude oil. If the fluid comes out of a well, it is crude oil. That includes condensate. However, if the oil/condensate is processed (even in a simple way), it is no longer crude oil. That's why oil companies are allowed to export "finished" oil products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
The recent ruling allows companies to export treated condensate without a license. So it's not actually a relaxation of the ban. And according to Dweck, the Commerce Department ruled on this subject because it was asked.
So oil companies will soon flood the Commerce Department with new requests to export oil products. This will help narrow the definition of crude oil down even further – and likely allow oil companies to export more oil products.
And Pulitzer Prize-winning author Daniel Yergin believes the ban could soon be lifted.
During his speech at the conference, Yergin said all the reasons the ban was in place originally – to prevent Alaskan crude oil from going to Japan and to facilitate oil-price fixing – are now gone. We quit oil-price fixing in the 1980s and began exporting oil to Japan around the same time. In other words, the law is merely an antiquated shell that needs to be removed.
Lifting the ban would be great for the U.S. economy and oil stocks.
The U.S. is already the world's largest exporter of petroleum products. And as you can see in the chart below, over the past few years, the U.S. has seen a massive increase in its "finished" crude oil and petroleum-products exports.
Oil companies are doing everything they can to take advantage of cheap domestic crude-oil prices and high crude oil and petroleum demand elsewhere in the world right now.
And Yergin believes lifting the ban will propel U.S. oil production to as much as 14 million barrels of oil per day. The U.S. produced 7.4 million barrels of oil per day in 2013. This would cause U.S. crude-oil exports to rocket higher – along with oil companies' share prices.
In short, rising U.S. exports is just one more reason to own U.S. oil stocks... especially small- and mid-cap companies that can rapidly grow their production. A few of my favorite names here include Sanchez Energy (SN) and Laredo Petroleum (LPI). You can also own a fund of U.S. oil and gas producers like the Market Vectors Unconventional Oil & Gas Fund (FRAK).
However you decide to invest, make sure you're in this trade. We can't know exactly when the export ban will be lifted, but it will be lifted. And that will be a good thing for America... and for American oil stocks.
Good investing,
Matt Badiali
