We're heading up to Guerneville and Russian River this weekend and need a decent place for 4-8 (number is still TBD).
I know about Farmhouse Inn, Stella's and the others, but we will actually be coming from Cazadero, west of Guerneville, so Occidental is most convenient.
Last year we had a couple of great meals at The Naked Lady, but it is apparently closed now.
I looked around and came upon Bistro des Copains, south of Occidental and the menu looks good.
Has anyone eaten there, or alternatively, do you have a good current Occidental suggestion. The Union Hotel is too ordinary, so something interesting nearby would be welcome.

New York Community Choir - New York Community Choir [Bonus Track Version] (1977/2014) [HDTracks]
Category: Music
Artist: New York Community Choir
Title: New York Community Choir [Bonus Track Version]
Year Of Release: 2014 (1977)
Label: Legacy Recordings
Genre: R&B, Gospel, Soul, Disco
Quality: FLAC (tracks) [24Bit/96kHz]
Total Time: 01:12:12
Total Size: 1,69 GB
Recorded at RCA Studios, New York. Remastered at Battery Studios, New York.
Gospel, arguably, has often been the "R" in R&B. A long list of soul icons, from Aretha Franklin to Gladys Knight to Otis Redding to Teddy Pendergrass, were greatly influenced by the African-American Protestant church music they grew up with (Franklin's father was the late Rev. C.L. Franklin, a well respected Baptist minister and civil rights activist). Sam Cooke and Johnnie Taylor were members of the Soul Stirrers (a major gospel group) before they became R&B stars, and Lou Rawls was a member of the Pilgrim Travelers (another major gospel group) before he made his mark in secular music. Clearly, gospel has a long history of influencing secular R&B. But that has worked both ways, and in the 1970s, R&B-influenced gospel grew in popularity thanks to the New York Community Choir (NYCC) as well as the Edwin Hawkins Singers, Rance Allen and Andraé Crouch, among others. NYCC were highly adventurous during the 1970s, combining the rhythms of soul, funk and disco with the choir vocals and Christian-based lyrics of African-American gospel. And that combination is alive and well on this self-titled album, which was originally released by RCA Records as a vinyl LP back in 1977.

A cute episode, but it wasn't very exciting, especially for a season premiere.
Don't get me wrong, I loved seeing Dr. Quinn in drag, that was hilarious! And Sully and Matthew teaching her how to walk and spit... It was all great, but it just wasn't the most exciting episode...
It was very in character, though. Dr. Quinn finds out women can't race and pretends to be a man... that is just what Dr. Quinn would do, and she wins! Boy, did she show them.
This was a very cutesy, funny episode, that would go great in like the middle of a season or something, but I would've like a more "happening" episode for the season premiere.

Every 11 seconds a shelter pet in the U.S. is euthanized. And one artist is dedicating herself to helping save these lives -- one pet portrait at a time.
Jenny Williams, a Colorado-based artist started the 66 Dogs Project -- portraits of 66 dogs up for adoption that may be overlooked -- has turned her sights on the Bay Area, and is currently painting the senior dogs of San Francisco-based Muttville.
Each watercolor portrait includes the dog's image along with some key factors about the canine, such as his/her age, breed, disposition (shy, laid back), likes (car rides, walks, other dogs), and who to contact about the adoption. This artistic effort has turned into 37 portraits (and growing). When asked how these portraits help, Williams noted the case of one dog named Prince:
"Often it just takes that little extra boost for people to see a dog in a new light. For example: Prince, a sweet pitbull mix at Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Brooklyn, NY, had been in the shelter for two years when I painted his portrait in April. The portrait was shared 250 times from SCAR's Facebook page, and a few weeks later Prince was adopted."
Check out the portraits of the Muttville pups and other shelter dogs at the 66 Dog Project site. If you feel so inclined, you can sponsor a shelter dog you love to get a portrait, and commission one for your beloved pooch. And, if you adopt one of the portrait dogs, the watercolor artwork is yours as a thank you.
After the 66 portraits are done, Williams will be moving on to other ways to promote pet adoption. She says, "I'm thinking of the 66 Dogs Project as a launching point rather than the end game." And we'll be sure to update you of her next Bay Area-based animal advocacy venture.

In it's long history, the address of No. 82 Eaton Square in London has housed a Major-General of the East Indian Cavalry, a Lord Strafford, a Lord Bagot, an Earl of Dalhousie, an Earl of Clare, a Duke of Bedford, and Queen Wilhemina of the Netherlands — thankfully not all at once. It's probably best know for its half-century as the Irish Club, a much-favoured drinking & smoking spot for the community of Gaels in London. The club was founded in 1947, with a number of pre-existing Irish clubs merging into it. George VI — grateful for the devoted service of the Irish who volunteered for his armed forces during the Second World War — heard that the club was in search of premises and asked the Duke of Westminster, one of the largest landowners in London, if he could help. The Duke provided the leasehold of No. 82 Eaton Square to the Irish Club for a nominal sum. (As it happens, the 4th Duke's son served as a Unionist MP for Fermanagh & South Tyrone, and later in the Northern Irish Senate).
"In its heyday," the Irish Times reports, "it was a London venue where a pint of Guinness at the bar could be supped with anyone from a building contractor to an aristocrat — as long as there was Irish blood flowing through their veins." The late Lord Longford (father of the renowned historian Thomas Pakenham, now the 8th Earl) was President of the club until his death. Irishmen such as Garrett Fitzgerald & Conor Cruise O'Brien were frequently found at the bar, and it was popular with Irish journalists as well. Henry Kelly, the radio and television broadcaster, remembered the evening of one IRA bombing in London:
The Club began to find its Eaton Square home cumbersome, and in 2003 it sold up and moved to Tudor Street in Blackfriars. Now the building, designed by Thomas Cubitt, is being converted back into a single residence.
If only every time a building erected in the 20th century came down in London a building of this merit was built to replace it – the face of London would be so fair.
Great piece!
I lived there for a year in 1993/94.
The Irish Club at 82 Easton Square was my home all through 1980's 1990's
Absolutely magnificent place to stay Peter Pan would have very much found it as a lovely home.

Let me share with you a story of a young girl. She was attached to her tv, hoping for the monsters to come alive. She hid in the dark, longing for something to happen. She yearned for the silence to crack. She relished in the thought that the house would come unhinged at any moment. She hoped no one would believe her, in the mere concept that the fantasy would be all her own.
The Conjuring 2 takes you back to the time where although you tucked yourself into your bed so tight, you secretly wished there was a creature underneath. You hoped to be shocked, for the hairs on your back to straighten, and for the goosebumps to set your nerves on fire.
At first, I started to get disappointed with this movie. My cynicism grew. I was growing upset because this was going to be another movie wasted; another 10 dollars thrown in the trash. It was the music that drew me back in. It was the thought of things lurking in the dark. It was my inner child crawling out from under the gore, with a gleam in its eye.
Now, it can't all be good. There are parts where the cheese starts getting thick. But it is something about this franchise. Maybe I have a soft spot because of my slight love for the first movie. Maybe I am a sucker for anything that blast "based on a true story" across the screen. I didn't lose hope. Although it can feel a bit campy, there were legitimate times during the movie where my skin crawled, my heart sank, and I actually jumped in my chair.
What I enjoyed the most was the actual disbelief happening inside the movie. I'm not one for spoilers so I will never spill, but you may say to yourself during a certain scene, "I knew it". It won't last, but it is nice to know that The Conjuring 2, just like the last, fills the loop holes. It keeps you on your guard. This movie pulls you in, even during the cheese, and even when you are certain you can not take anymore creatures jumping out of the screen and into your soul.
I didn't pee my pants, but I certainly questioned the silence. I worried what was lurking in the dark. Lastly, I will never erase from my mind the sound and visions of old joints, wrapped in old, grey skin, encasing themselves around a wall, waiting to grab me, and pull me into the darkness.
Take this movie for what it is - a genuine, scary, creepy ghost story, that will leave your inner child screaming for just one more scare.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by yankeeboy, Sep 26, 2010.
Here is what 2.2 users get which we would have to wait for....until now!
First shootme and now flash?! That was the biggest adjustment for me coming from a 2.2 Incredible, but now this can't get any more perfect. THANK YOU.
Same thing for me....I am a tad jealous that the Dinc now has the new Sense - but I am seeing increased traffic here and on XDA which says to me that people are buying the Fascinate and creativity is growing. Project Voodoo will be great, ROM's and Kernels are popping up. Life is good!
Did you reboot following the flash installation?
Yep. Even after reinstalling it.
Strange... after rooting, lag fixing, and Titanium Backup'ing in only a few minutes without missing a beat last night, "THIS" is gonna give me a problem? lol
EDIT: oh, wait. I overlooked "reboot". Now, are you talking about the "hold down volume buttons + power button-REBOOT" ???
I'm mostly jealous of that 3 second fast-boot... I thought the Galaxy S booted fast. But I'm really loving the Fascinate, and that Voodoo color looks extremely promising. Now it just needs to be ported! Glad to see good community support.
EDIT: To be more on topic, in case anyone wants a testimonial, I'm no longer restricted by that "Mobile Devices not allowed to View" message on YouTube videos.
ok, color me a newbie, but i cant even figure out how to install it. I downloaded to my PC, then copied to the root of the phone, but cant figure out what to do from there...
Anyone got this working?
Still can't watch 10.1 youtube videos....haven't tried out anything else.
I'm getting mixed results. As reported above, YouTube 10.1 videos yield a "web page not available." However flash at FOXNews.com - Breaking News | Latest News | Current News works.
Funny Videos, Funny Clips & Funny Pictures | Break.com works, etc... but not CNN.com - Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News, etc..
No. I merely meant shutting the device down and then powering back up.
Its definitely mixed. I have it working on some, but sites like channelsurfing.net do not work yet. Maybe there is something we are missing with configuration??
Next you'll wanna d/l App Installer from the market. It'll automatically recognize what to install for you on your sd root.
Ok, now is my chance to say this:
Sent by swype on samsung fascinate. Booyah.
I've had flash on my Fascinate since Day 1. It doesn't work, but the Flash Lite does. Certain sites will work, but not all. The easiest way to test Flash is to try a Flash Game.
Yes, I think people fail to realize that most if not all android phones come with flash (lite) or some other version. But when people say "We're getting flash" it means the newest version and the full version. If we had no flash at all, we wouldn't be able to watch youtube at all.

TEMECULA -- The bold-striped tents and column of brightly colored trailers adorned with clown faces parked in the vacant lot tells of a pending show.
But people in the area may never get to see it, as plans for Temecula's first animal circus in a decade -- scheduled to open today -- were still up in the air Monday afternoon, thanks to a red tape entanglement with the city.
Circus Vargas, setting up at the corner of Winchester and Nicolas roads, is hoping to dazzle residents this week with its traveling animal show. But the days of circuses rolling into town the night before a show and raising the Big Top hours before the first performance are over. Today, permits, fees, fire inspections and a list of other requirements have forced circus operators to plan way ahead.
In the case of Circus Vargas, the main hurdle has been traffic.
"That's a pretty busy intersection and there's a lot of concerns about traffic," said Thomas Thornsley, a Temecula city planner.
Due to a last-minute shift in scheduling, circus officials said they weren't able to notify the city as soon as they were supposed to.
"Typically there's a 30-day advance notice before an event like this," Thornsley said. "In this case we're working on a two-week time frame."
Thornsley said he expects to know by this morning if the circus will be allowed to open tonight.
Traffic concerns aside, Temecula is much more circus-friendly than some California cities -- like Encinitas and Corona, which have passed ordinances prohibiting exotic animals from being used for entertainment, which prevents shows such as Circus Vargas from coming to town.
Temecula considered such an ordinance four years ago but the City Council voted against doing so. The last circus with animals that came to town was Circus Vargas, which passed through Temecula in 1993. In 1999, a circus with no animals came to town.
Priscilla Gargalis, a Canyon Lake resident and co-director of the California Lobby for Animal Welfare, pushed for the ordinance in 1999 and still hasn't given up her campaign to put an end to animals performing in circuses.
"A lot of people don't want to acknowledge there's a problem, because it has been a tradition for hundreds of years for families to bring their children to the circus," said Gargalis. She added that she'll be protesting the circus with a group of people this evening across the street from the performances.
Kathy Crow, Circus Vargas' marketing director, said last week that protesters have become a normal part of circus life.
"They follow us everywhere we go," said Crow, who insists that Circus Vargas' animals are well taken care of. "I've been on this show 12 years and I've never seen any mistreatment of animals."
Gargalis said much of the mistreatment of animals at circuses goes unseen. One example, she said, is during the early stages of the animal's life, when Gargalis says animals are taught to perform through fear, intimidation and brutality.
"If they were doing this to dogs and cats, people would be outraged," she said.
Susan Lacey, who trains white tigers with Circus Vargas, said Gargalis' claims are utterly false.
"If I knew there was any animal cruelty involved, I wouldn't be doing this," Lacey said while hosing down some bedding next to her lions Monday morning.
"I'm an animal lover," said Lacey, a former zoo employee who has been with Circus Vargas for seven years. Lacey said her tigers, all of which were bred in captivity and raised by humans, are fed raw beef and chicken twice a day.
But keeping the animals well-fed isn't the biggest concern some animal rights supporters have with circuses.
Nicole Paquette, director of legal and governmental affairs for the Animal Protection Institute -- a Sacramento-based animal rights organization -- said circus animals are carted around in box cars with inadequate heating and cooling throughout the year.
Circus Vargas operates about nine months a year from March through November. During the off season, the tigers get a rest from the road, Lacey said. On Monday morning, Lacey's tigers were in a large shared cage, shaded under tarps with fans blowing to keep the cats cool.
If the city allows the circus to proceed, Lacey will be opening the show with her tigers, which she said she rides and kisses.

Marvel's Defenders Come Together for Their First Trailer
Time to defend.
It's taken a while, but Marvel's finally on track to get their four Netflix shows out so they can move on to the big cheese of it all: The Defenders. Where the Avengers deal with more global (and pretty soon, cosmic) affairs, these guys are devoted to dealing with issues on their home turf of New York. And finally, there's a trailer to prove that it's more than a pipe dream, set to the song "Come as You Are" by Nirvana and made up of different parts of each show's logo.
You can't even save yourselves. #TheDefenders #MarvelSDCChttps://t.co/Qky3HeL77H
— Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) July 22, 2016
The Defenders will reach Netflix sometime next year. More than likely, it'll come after Iron Fist has premiered. Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, and Finn Jones will reprise their respective roles as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. If the end of the trailer is any indication, the four street heroes will be joining forces to take down the supernatural ninja force The Hand, who Daredevil has a rather hostile relationship with.
Stay tuned to Twinfinite for more San Diego Comic-Con news.

The rules are simple. The good get spared. The bad get spoiled.
La La Land (Summit Entertainment)
Written & Directed by Damien Chazelle
Music by Justin Hurwitz
Choreography by Mandy Moore
Starring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, John Legend & Rosemarie DeWitt
La La Land is a straight-forward musical romance that is not as good as people are making it out to be, but much better than it actually should be. It is excruciatingly cute and cuddly and smile-inducing. I nearly hurt my face smiling so much. The choreography is whimsical and the songs are passable. But the ending… the ending is sensational. Go see La La Land before the bloom is off the rose.
Verdict: SPARED
I really liked La La Land. I think I smiled all the way through from the 2nd musical number until I started crying at the end. It is your very basic boy meets girl yada yada yada story. And because there is not much to it, besides your basic romance formula, it made me wonder what people were seeing in it. Seriously, why so much hype?
But I'll tell you what I think they were seeing… Emma Stone's amazingly graceful dancing. Ryan Gosling's surprisingly good singing. And two incredible performances. But mostly the second film in a row that Damien Chazelle has knocked it out the bloody park. Whiplash was fabulous. And La La Land continues the string.
Ryan Gosling is surprisingly good in La La Land. I have never been a fan of his. Here he plays a Jazz Pianist who refuses to sell out his art for the money (or success for that matter). His character is a frustrating look at the artistic purist.
And Emma Stone… She gets better with every role she takes. Here her dancing is the primary element. Her movements are sublime. I hope she dances in everything. She's always had this commanding stage presence but who knew she could move like an angel. And glide like a… totally different angel. She plays an aspiring actress and writer who gets no respect at auditions and in her day job on the Warner Brothers lot.
These two, young artists, start an on-screen romance. And there's not much else in terms of plot. La La Land is pretty straight forward. Romance, relationship, conflict, resolution. But the ending is magical. I cried. I won't tell you what kind of tears for those of you who haven't seen it. But they were very salty.
La La Land brings to mind Woody Allen at his early 80's romantic best. Billy Wilder in his 1950's funniest. And Old Hollywood at its late 20's musical finest. And I would be surprised if it isn't on Broadway in about 10 years. Even though the music isn't the best part, La La Land would still make a good Broadway show. Because of the dancing. The choreography is outstanding. And like I said before, Emma Stone glides across the screen making us fall in love with each angelic step.
La La Land doesn't completely live up to the hype. I still don't see the big deal. It's a rehash of the depression era musical. A great escape from these degenerate times. But I loved it. It's fun and magical and romantic. And I enjoyed it profusely.

The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources has primary responsibility for managing
Australia's biosecurity system including managing biosecurity risk to Australia's environment. Protecting Australia's environment from
pests and diseases that are likely to cause harm is important so that all Australian's can enjoy Australia's environment and unique biodiversity. It is difficult and not desirable to manage biosecurity risk to the environment in isolation from managing biosecurity risk to

Biosecurity risk does not discriminate and, if not managed properly, it can have devastating impacts for Australia. Managing risk to Australia's environment is a crucial part of maintaining a modern and robust biosecurity system.

Gays were well represented at Sunday's Emmy Awards, television's highest honor. Openly gay writer/director Ryan Murphy won a directing Emmy for his work on "Glee" and kissed his boyfriend before walking to the stage. "Glee," a gay cult hit, won three of the 19 Emmys it was nominated for.
Another "Glee" winner was actress Jane Lynch for her hard-boiled performance as Sue Sylvester. Lynch, who's also openly gay, kissed her wife then thanked her during her speech.
When straight actor Erik Stonestreet won a supporting actor Emmy for his work on ABC's "Modern Family," he kissed his TV hubby Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Their work as Cam and Mitchell on the show has inspired some question about when they would be allowed their first on-screen kiss.
And openly gay actor Neil Patrick Harris won two Emmys this year: one for guesting on "Glee" and another for hosting the Tonys. His statuettes were presented the night before at the Creative Arts presentation.
Aaron Paul, who won best supporting actor in a drama for his role on "Breaking Bad," also kissed his partner. The Tony writers and the "Modern Family" team also enjoyed Emmy wins.
And legendary favorite Betty White, adored by gays for her "Golden Girls" work, won her seventh Emmy for her Facebook-inspired "Saturday Night Live" hosting stint. White won her first Emmy in 1952 for the sitcom "Life With Elizabeth."

Requested in "Request & Fill Corner" section...
Canadian rocker Tim Karr released back in 1989 a really cool Rock FM album entitled 'Rubbin' Me The Right Way' on a major label.
He toured with Richard Marx and Vixen, but after a couple of years he (and the mentioned acts) was dropped by the record company.
Besides, a conflicting relationship with his manager took years to dissolve, and Karr basically started over.
But Tim keep writing and recording songs for a new album, which was released independently as "Everybody Bleeds".
His style is a rockier mix of FM oriented Classic Rock with some bluesy edge.
Think Bon Jovi circa 'These Days' blended with Nelson '90s material, Johnny Lima, and a bit of Quireboys here and there.
"Jaded" opens the album in a big, bluesy rockin' mood, with a catchy chorus and nice guitars.
"Out Of The Blue" is a cover of the old Roxy Music tune, that shows his influences. A very good version featuring John Taylor (Duran Duran, Solo) on guitar.
The ballad "Price Of Love" has an awesome and vibrant feel, emotional and deep, complete with an orchestra. A brilliant lost gem ignored on many playlists.
"Aquarius" has a nice spirit, a very simple rocker but the chorus is infectious to death.
"Everybody Bleeds" is a crying blues with passionate vocals, a Bon Jovi-like chorus and a vintage organ throughout. A rocking, compelling ballad.
This is a catchy, genuine Rock 'N Roll album, mature, with a polished songwriting and powerful vibe.
The great vocals remain, with that snarl and a ton of attitude. Production is first class for an indie.
"Everybody Bleeds" is a grower, but after a repeated listens you'll love it.
Mega-Rare and Out Of Print.

Quick Beauty Tips If You Hate Doing Your Hair And Makeup Jun 27, 2016 by Sarah (Day Styles)
Not everyone knows how (or wants) to apply the perfect winged eyeliner or the sultry smoky eyeshadow. Some people own multiple palettes of makeup and dozens of different styling products to obtain that "perfect look," but what about those of us who either just don't care, or are really bad at applying makeup? There are definitely some solutions out there that can help us look put-together without having to craft an entirely new face out of foundation and eyeliner. Here are some of the top tricks that we love when we just don't want to do our hair and makeup!
Grab A Hat
Hats are in style right now, whether it's a cute little fedora or a floppy-brimmed hat! Hats are super stylish, and they are the PERFECT weapon if you're having a bad hair day. It may take some time and lots of testing, but you should find a hat that fits your head properly and flatters your face (it can sometimes be difficult, so be patient). When you have a cute hat then you can definitely get away with not doing your hair - bonus!
Ditch The Heat - Use The Air
Air-drying your hair sounds too good to be true. Wash, towel dry, run out the door? Not so much. It is much healthier for your hair to let it air dry, but it does take some preparation to make it look presentable. Make sure you have the right supplies on hand to put in your hair before you hit the sack and experiment with ways to set your hair before you go to sleep. You may prefer the look after sleeping in a braid, or you may prefer the look after sleeping with your hair in twists. It's up to you to decide!
Overnight Waves
Look up a tutorial online that will show how you can get wavy hair overnight and you won't be disappointed, we promise. It's super simple, you just wash your hair, twist it up while you sleep, and voila! The next morning you'll have great beach waves that look like you spent hours on them.
Multitasking Makeup
Pick a base makeup that plays more than one role. You can purchase foundation that comes equipped with sunscreen, moisturizer, and a tinted concealer, making it super easy to throw on and forget about it. Choose one that's appropriate for your needs and matches your skin perfectly, and you'll be set for the day!
Low Ponytails
There's no easier way to get a chic and sophisticated hairstyle than when you pull your hair back into a sleek low ponytail. If you want to up your game slightly, wrap a piece of hair around the elastic holding your ponytail and bobby pin the ends down, it's the perfect look for any occasion.
Get A Really Great Haircut
Find a hair stylist that knows the ins and outs of your type of hair. No two haircuts are ever the same, but you should find someone with a lot of experience so they can give you a cut that complements your shape and facial features. Ask for a cut that's going to look put together without having to style it and specifically ask for something that's going to air dry nicely and you can save yourself a lot of work in the future.
Bold Lips
Even if you have no other makeup on your face, a little mascara and some bright red lipstick can do wonders for your appearance, and it takes no time at all. Visit a makeup artist to find out which shade of red matches your skin tone and go from there. Take your time if you're just beginning with lipsticks, though, you don't want to end up looking like a clown.
Fight Pimples Overnight
Try dabbing a little toothpaste on your blemishes before bed and let it stay on your face while you sleep. The antibacterial properties of the toothpaste will help kill the bacteria that caused the blemish, lessen the inflammation of your skin, and reduce redness and swelling. Best of all, you don't have to go out and buy a new product if you don't want to!
Curl Your Lashes
Curling your lashes may seem like something that's too small to have an effect, but it can make a huge difference in how you look! When your lashes are curled and upright, it helps to open up your eyes and make you look much more awake - even when you'd much rather be heading back to bed, rather than going to work!
Take Good Care of Your Skin
If you just can't stand the idea of wearing makeup, or you refuse to make time to apply a full face of cosmetics, at least give yourself a good foundation! Keep your skin clear and glowing naturally! Find a skincare system that you love and works well with your skin type, and your face will stay happy and bright with a minimal amount of effort If you take good care of your skin, you'll need to do less work in the future. And when you want to put on a little makeup, just follow these quick tips to look good and save time!

ISPI Collaborate: A Member's Perspective with Janet Buckenmeyer
ISPI's Collaborate is sort of like a mythical creature. Many people do not believe in it, but it is something special. Soon, all of our members will see. This is why we started a more interactive look into Collaborate, versus me just telling you about how I navigate Collaborate. This month's article is a bit different from last month's because ISPI answers some concerns that I believe a lot of our members have. Our responses are in blue. Thank you to Janet Buckenmeyer, PhD, for taking time out of her schedule to answer these questions.
Jessica: Do you remember your reaction when ISPI first rolled out Collaborate?
Janet: Yes, I was wondering how Collaborate was going to be different from LinkedIn. I was curious why we could not establish a group on LinkedIn or Facebook. This felt like one more thing I needed to remember to check regularly.
ISPI Response: While LinkedIn and Facebook are great social networking sites, Collaborate offers a robust offering for members and non-members. Such as:
Comprehensive calendar of all events (international and chapter); robust resource library; comprehensive glossary of PI terms (requested by our members); private discussion area for members only, which provides a space where members feel protected to engage; workspace for ISPI committees and groups; access to member directory. Now this might seem like a lot, but it has not even scratched the surface of what Collaborate has to offer.
Jessica: What are the best and worst things about Collaborate?
Janet: Best: It is a private way of sharing information among groups or ISPI members as a whole. It is not open to non-members.
Worst: As I mentioned before, it is another thing to log in to. I do realize it is connected to my ISPI login, but I still do not remember to check in on a regular basis (unless someone emails me with a request to review a document on Collaborate).
ISPI Response: That is something we did think about before. Not only is your account connected to your MyISPI login, but most browsers give you the option of saving the password when you login to Collaborate. So for once, you can kind of forget your password once you have logged in.
Jessica: What do you primarily use Collaborate for?
Janet: I use ISPI Collaborate for Board of Directors' communication and file sharing. I also use it to connect privately with other ISPI members. Currently, since many members have not made the switch to Collaborate, I am still using LinkedIn first.
ISPI members what are you waiting for?
Jessica: Why did you being using Collaborate?
Janet: I was curious more than anything. Around this time I had received an email asking us to set up our profile on Collaborate. But I forgot about my profile until I joined the Board and was told it would be our primary method of communication.
As we continue to transition, Collaborate will become the primary method of communication for all things ISPI. It is easy to navigate, and we offer a plethora of aides to assist any apprehensive members.

Ultimate Kindred Skin Concept
How about an ultimate skin based off of this part of Kindred's, "Though interpretations of Kindred's nature vary across Runeterra, every mortal must choose the true face of their death." Like Lux's ultimate skin their's changes form, a form for each of the major regions in Runeterra. (I'm not good at drawing so I have no pictures for the skin.) To change to a certain form you have to kill an enemy champion from that forms region. I think this is a cool idea and it's lore accurate too. What y'all think? PS. If you have a picture idea for a region's form post it.

Tight restrictions are to be imposed on where Tauranga City Council candidates can put their signs.
Instead of saying where candidates were not allowed to put signs, the council yesterday agreed by the narrowest of margins to define the roadsides where signs would be allowed.
It took the casting vote of chairwoman Bev Edlin to resolve the issue after the council was locked 5-5. It agreed only one sign per candidate would be allowed on each of the 31 roadside strips around the city.
Read more: Move to Tauranga a 'no-brainer'
Councillor Steve Morris supported the rules that applied to the 2013 election, saying that getting approval for every site would be resource intensive.
Councillor Bill Grainger agreed, saying, "I think we are going a little overboard here."
He warned that a large number of signs in each area was ridiculous and would generate more complaints than having signs scattered throughout the city. It should be up to candidates where they put their signs.
"Let people use their initiative," he said.
This led to Councillor Matt Cowley moving to limit the number of signs at each location. This was won by a vote of 7-3, once the main issue had been resolved on whether to restrict the signs to defined locations. Opposing were Kelvin Clout, Rick Curach and Catherine Stewart.
The main vote was split between councillors Leanne Brown, Matt Cowley, Bev Edlin, Gail McIntosh and John Robson saying yes to defined areas, and Kelvin Clout, Rick Curach, Bill Grainger, Steve Morris and Catherine Stewart opposing. Mayor Stuart Crosby was not at the meeting.
Bylaws and parking team leader Stuart Goodman said defining the areas avoided having signs everywhere and the city would look tidier.
He also cited new health and safety laws.
Cr Robson called election signs "an abomination" and there were simple mechanisms to address problems caused by signs. Cr McIntosh said staff had done a great job clarifying a messy issue.

A move to allow election signs to be pasted on billboards owned by the Baypark-based, council-controlled organisation Bay Venues Ltd was defeated 8-2, with councillors Clout and McIntosh supporting the idea.
Cr Curach referred to advice from the Auditor-General's office about potential areas of conflict. Cr Brown said they needed to keep it completely separate and transparent.
The council also agreed to extend the period to six weeks on which signs were allowed to be displayed on public land - ending the two-week difference between the time signs could go on private land.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
16:23 09 December 2013
Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra won a huge majority during 2011 election. However, Thais have protested extensively saying that her government is controlled by her brother, the ousted Thaksin Shinawatra. Because of this, she dissolved the parliament and called for an election.
Making the announcement on national television, she said: "The government does not want any loss of life."
"At this stage, when there are many people opposed to the government from many groups, the best way is to give back the power to the Thai people and hold an election. So the Thai people will decide."
Thai officials said that the election will more likely to take place on February 2, 2014.
However, protesters are unlikely to get satisfied with the election saying that the entire democratic system must be changed.
Protester leader Suthep Thaugsuban, who was formerly a senior opposition politician, said: "The movement will keep on fighting. Our goal is to uproot the Thaksin regime."
"Although the House is dissolved and there will be new elections, the Thaksin regime is still in place."

For the first time since 2009, the Del Norte volleyball team finished the regular season on top of the Humboldt-Del Norte Big 5 standings. The Warriors secured their share of a co-league championship on Tuesday with a 3-1 victory over Fortuna.
Kaitlyn Clemann recorded 16 kills and 6 digs for Del Norte.
Kayla Costello had 14 kills and tied with Samantha Lundin for a team-high 19 assists.
Grace Bruschi and Ericka Alcala led the team with 10 digs apiece.
The win brought Del Norte to 23-9-1 overall and 7-1 in the league. Arcata also won its match on Tuesday, beating Eureka 3-1 to also finish 7-1.
Both teams will be recognized as league champions.
"It feels good," Alcala said. "It is a different feeling than last year (when Del Norte finished second). It is definitely better."
Although the match against Fortuna ended with a victory Tuesday, the Warriors were not pleased with how they played.
"I thought we played down to the caliber of team that we were playing," said Del Norte coach Debbie Lorenzi. "We are a better team than that. I was extremely frustrated and disappointed to see that at this time of the year. We are hoping to turn that around."
"We looked slow," Alcala added. "We didn't play like a well-oiled machine like we can."
This season, the Warriors feel like they have beaten some good competition, but they have also struggled with teams they should have been easily beaten.
"I am hoping that we can show the skill level that we have," Lorenzi said. "When we go away to tournaments, we have played some good teams. We have played with them and beat some of them and played really well. Now that we are in the league again, we are playing their level, and we are better than that."
Lorenzi believes the key for the Warriors is to "play aggressively with confidence. They need to be extremely aggressive."
The Warriors will have to play a postseason game earlier than expected. Del Norte lost a coin flip, so they will have to travel to Arcata on Thursday for a one-game playoff to determine who will represent the HDN Big 5 as the league champion at North Coast Sectionals.
Both teams have already qualified for sectionals, but the winner of the playoff game will play a first-round home game.

Tackling Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" takes a lot of balls. Competing against Quincy Jones is no easy task. New Jersey saxophonist Nick Stefanacci is smart enough not to let the song's legend get in the way and produce a tepid "faithful" version. Instead, Stefanacci opts for a funky jazz version, and only keeps the song's famous chorus. It's still the same song, but a completely different take.
I have to admit, before I listened to the album I was expecting a sound similar to much of Kenny G's catalogue and an album full of instrumentals. Luckily, that's not the case. The vocals on the album are provided by music veteran Kenny Simmons (of Commodores Fame) who gives "All For a Reason" and "Fly Away" some soul and funk. There's also some nice slap bass as well. As such, much of All For a Reason contains many rhythms found in late 70's disco and funk. But like the version of "Smooth Criminal" it's not tied to those genres, but instead uses them a springboard. Stefanacci's trade-mark saxophone solos are certainly the star of the show here, but he never lets it get in the way of the rest of the song. The way Stefanacci plays, perhaps in years to come he could be like Simmons – a veteran lending a hand to a new name.

Wednesday 27 June & Thursday 28 June, 2018
The Royal Norfolk Show is the UK's largest two-day country show!
Come and enjoy the best of Norfolk in just a day (or two!). With 700 trade stands, over 3000 animals and hundreds of attractions there's something for everyone.
The Royal Norfolk Show is the county's biggest event of the year. It attracts tens of thousands of visitors from all over the UK. It's a time to see Norfolk at its best, to network, to do business, to learn about Norfolk's wonderful landscape and the importance of Food, farming and the Countryside. The celebration of agriculture past, present and future is at the heart of the Show and representation from all walks of county life combine to celebrate all that is great about Norfolk.
Food, Farming and the Countryside
Come and enjoy top-level showjumping and watch hundreds of champion livestock being judged. Watch the popular Sheep Show or Sheep Shearing. See today's hi-tech farm machinery and marvel at the heavy horses and equipment of times gone by. Take a trip to our own mini farm or be inspired at the Grow it, Cook it, Eat it stage. Get green fingers and visit the Flower and Garden Show where you can meet the experts or visit the craft village to try something new.
Innovation and Enterprise
Come and see some of the exciting research and development underway in Norfolk. Meet growers, farmers and scientists and learn about new technologies and the skills needed for tomorrow's agriculture. Sample food and drink from more than 70 local producers at the Adnam's Food and Drink Experience – from cheese to chorizo, whisky to wine, salads to sweets; it's all produced in Norfolk by some great entrepreneurs.
Celebrating the Arts
Celebrating the Arts will bring a new dimension to the Royal Norfolk Show. As a platform for celebration we will bring together a range of organisations and communities engaged in art, music and performing arts.
And more…
Marvel at the RAF Falcons display team jumping from the skies and meet the people who support our county every day – including Fire & Rescue, Police and the Armed Forces. To get a taste watch the video below and marvel at the view from the headcam of one of the Falcons parachuting into the showground!
Shop 'til you drop at the hundreds of retail stands – whether it's a new lawn-mower, a new jacket, a new hat or even something scrummy fromour food hall it's time to come and treat yourself!
Relax over a summer drink, be entertained by some of the county's top musicians, take in an art show or watch skilled craftsmen at work. And so much more!
There really is something for everyone at the Royal Norfolk Show. We hope to see you in 2018!

Hello all,
I have spent quite a bit of time reviewing the valuable information in this forum - thank you! I am hoping to get some advice on our itinerary for June 2016. My husband and I will be traveling with our 7-year old son. We live in the United States. We will be in Europe for just over two weeks.
Our tentative plan is:
6/11 - arrive at AMS midday
6/12, 6/13, 6/14 - Amsterdam
6/15 - travel to Paris
6/16, 6/17, 6/18 - Paris
6/19 - travel to Lausanne
6/20 - Lausanne
6/21 - travel to Murren
6/22, 6/23 - Murren
6/24 - travel to Geneva
6/25 - travel back home
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts/advice on this itinerary. In particular:
Should we take a day away from Paris and instead spend it in Murren (or Lausanne)?
Is Lausanne worth the stop, or are there other destinations that are more worthwhile? We have not traveled in Switzerland and would like a bigger city destination in addition to Murren.
Any advice on kid-friendly sites in Paris? Where should we stay in Paris?
In short, I am hoping for any advice on the Paris and Switzerland portions of the tip. We will be visiting family in the Netherlands, so that part of the trip is taken care of.

Well for a larger town in Switz I would do Lucerne versus Lausanne. The town is cute has ancient walls to explore a couple of small museums, steamers on the lake to a number of cut villages and easy access to a couple of smaller mountains (Pilatus, Rigi, Titlis) that you have a better chance of seeing without running into cloud at the top..

"Should we take a day away from Paris and instead spend it in Murren (or Lausanne)?"
Wing it based on the weather forecast. If the alpine weather is poor, then add time to Paris. A bright sunny day in the alps may be worth deducting a day elsewhere.
"Any advice on kid-friendly sites in Paris? Where should we stay in Paris?"
Dinosaurs! Visit the Natural History Museum on Rue Cuvier. And there's Paris Disney.
Report Abuse
Thanks for your feedback, nytraveler and Edward2005!
We will definitely consider Lucerne. One of the reasons we were leaning toward Lausanne is that it is easy to get to Montreux from there and we would like to take the scenic railway to Interlaken. Perhaps if we take a day away from Paris, we could add a day in Interlaken or Lucerne on the way to or from Murren.
As much as I am hesitant to add items to the itinerary, I don't want to make the trip from Paris too long. Another plus for stopping in Lausanne perhaps?
And, Edward2005, I'm not the best at winging it, as you can probably tell by the fact that I am planning a June 2016 trip right now! I prefer to have our accommodations set before we leave, especially traveling with a child, but we are definitely expecting to have inclement weather along the way.
Thanks again!

Hi maryedejong,
Well, the trip from Paris to Mürren is less than 7 hours, so I don't think I would consider that to be "too" long. I would far prefer that to having a one-night stop, which brings the hassle of hauling stuff to the hotel, checking in, and unpacking; then the next morning you have to pack up and check out, and haul stuff back to the station. So if it were me, I would just get the travel done with and enjoy my chosen destination.
What you might want to do is take the train to Montreux (or Vevey) and put your cases into a locker at the station. Then walk all up and down the lakeside promenade (or the old town of Vevey) and have lunch at a restaurant with views over the lake. Then collect your bags and continue on, on the Golden Pass scenic route to Mürren. That way, you'll wake up at the place you wanted to be!
I would also not cut a day from Paris, especially if this is your first visit.
For a big-Swiss-city hit, yes, Luzern is a good choice, but there doesn't seem to be room in your itinerary for it. I would just get that hit in Geneva before your flight back home. Alternately, you could stay in Solothurn, a beautiful city (which is on my list of places I NEED to visit, lol) in the French section. It's about 2h from Geneva by direct train. If your flight leaves in the afternoon, you could even stay in Solothurn the night before your departure. Or you could pick Neuchatel for the night before departure.
Anyway -- have fun as you plan!

I would definitely NOT cut a day in Paris, you ahve 3,5 days that is not too many.
I would not go to Disney either, unless you have no access to such a park close to home.
Kid friendly sites in Paris : 'le jardin des plantes' is always nice, and 'la cité de la science' is recommended, but I did the section for older kids, and it was not worthwhile at all. 'Le palais de la découverte' close to la Seine is quite nice too. Le 'musée de l'armée' at les 'Invalides' was a must for me when I was 7.
As to where to stay in Paris, I'd recommend staying anywhere a few hundreds meters from any 'portes' (doors - separating Paris 'intramuros' from the highway (périphérique).
US tourists tend to prefer the arrondissements 4 to 6, Europeans tend to go a little further away (8th, 16th, 18th etc).
You may easily find triple rooms in Paris.
Enjoy your trip !

The Lausanne - Lake Geneva area is beautiful (I prefer it to the Lucerne area), but there are many good alternatives nevertheless.

Wow, so much great advice!
I realize that I made a significant mistake in my itinerary description, above. We are not departing from Geneva at the end of our trip - we are leaving from Zurich. So having Murren (and, possibly, Lucerne) at the end of the trip makes sense when we only have to get to Zurich to head home.
I actually found a great deal on airfare last night, so we already booked our tickets. We are leaving a day earlier (6/9). I am not sure if we will add that day to our Netherlands stay, or if we will use that day to add a stop in Lucerne or extend our stay in Lausanne/Montreux.
Still not sure if we will head straight from Paris to Murren, with a stop for lunch in Montreaux, as suggested, or if we will spend some time in Lausanne.
Re: Paris - we will keep our stay at 3.5 days, per your recommendations. I have been before, but my husband and son have not. We are not planning to go to Disney (not our scene), but will definitely look into the suggested museums.
Does anyone have an opinion about some of the alternatives to the Palace of Versailles? Our son is very interested in seeing a "castle" and we were thinking he may have more fun at something a bit more low-key than Versailles. I found a list of other options, but I'm not sure if they are comparable and if we can reach them by train.
Report Abuse
I saw 6 castles of your list, the one I would definitely return to with my son would be Pierrefonds, it looks the most like a castle for a kid.
Seems the series 'Merlin' were shot there, but I haven't seen those...
Report Abuse
Paris: My kids enjoyed climbing the Arc, and going up the Eiffel. Les Invalides has some neat military stuff that might capture your son's imagination (as long as you don't overstay).
I repeat myself, but Vincennes is an underrated castle with a (dry) moat draw bridges, etc. I highly recommend it.
The Louvre, again if you don't overstay, can be interesting, particularly the sculptures.
Pompidou and the fountain nearby is reasonably interesting/whimsical. We did go through the gallery. I don't recall them being particularly interested. There also might be nudity that you may or may not be comfortable with.
Basically we took them everywhere we wanted to go, but kept them moving so that, even if they weren't thrilled, they didn't have too long to be bored, if that makes sense.
You might want to have him try some croque sandwiches before you go. That might be a good staple food at most restaurants, though we also found they enjoyed crepes. Pizza is often available.
Not sure it was worth it, but there is a Hippopotumus (sp?) family chain in Paris. Kind of an Applebees of sorts.
Report Abuse
I think Vincennes is an excellent idea for someone who just wants to see a castle. And it's right at the end of a metro line, so doesn't take as much time to get to/from. Versailles isn't a castle, anyway. I suppose second might be Chantilly, which is very small, but then again, doesn't have the size, history nor importance of Vincennes, and I suspect might not be as interesting to a child. Adults like it as it has a small art museum and nice gardens. Chantilly is really just a private home/mansion. Vincennes is very important in French history, and is a large complex with various points of interest and things to see and was a royal residence and fortification.

In Switzerland with the plans you have a Swiss Pass may well be a great deal - covers not only trains but lake boats and postal buses and city transports and gives 50% off on most aerial gondolas and trains to mountain tops - www.swisstravelsystem.com is a great site on Swiss trains.
Between Interlaken and Geneva you can take the Golden Pass train - one of those iconic Swiss scenic trains - takes a bit longer than the mainline route but oh oh so much more scenic.

Should we take a day away from Paris and instead spend it in Murren (or Lausanne)?>
I'd take Lasuanne out of the equation completely and maybe substitute lovely Lucerne for it - a big city too but much more of interest to do - boat rides on lovely Lake Lucerne the kiddo will love - and a scenic train ride over the Brunig Pass to Interlaken.
Take a TGV from Paris to Basel - start using your Swiss Pass to go to Lucerne for a few days then on - Lausanne is a pleasant large city but not nearly so as Lucerne, one of the prettiest cities in Switzerland.
I would not take any time away from Paris but add a day there if possible.
Report Abuse
and you can also ride the Golden Pass special scenic train between Lucerne and Interlaken-Ost - jumping off point for Murren and the hill towns. A Swiss Pass covers travel to Murren in full - even the thrillin' aerial cable car that takes you right up the cliffs from Lauterbrunnen's train station. Check out Wengen too - just as isolated as Murren but not nearly so remote - many things that most folks do are much closer to Wengen than to Murren.
Many folks have raved about Wengen in the past - it is car-less car-free and has stupendous views of the high Alps, as does Murren - well Murren's may even be more awesome.

I am having so much fun thinking about/planning for this trip, thanks to all of you! I have made some revisions to our itinerary and would appreciate your thoughts!
6/10-arrive AMS at noon
6/14 - travel to Paris
6/15, 6/16, 6/17 - Paris
6/18 - travel to Murren. Stop in Montreux for lunch. Scenic train to Interlaken.
6/19, 6/20, 6/21 - Murren
6/22 - travel to Lucerne
6/23, 6/24 - Lucerne
6/25 - train to Zurich airport and travel home. International flight at 2pm.
Two specific questions
I am still a little doubtful about the Paris to Murren travel day. We don't expect to "see" Montreux, but a stop for lunch would be nice. Is it too much to also take the scenic train to Interlaken and then travel to Murren (cable cars, etc)?
Is it reasonable to travel from Lucerne to the Zurich airport on the day of our flight? The flight leaves at 2pm.
Thanks again!

Trains run from Luzern directly to the Zurich airport about every hour and take about 40 minutes. In my last trip out of CH I stayed in Luzern the night before departure and made the flight easily.

Hi again,
If you left Paris at 08.02, you would arrive in Montreux at 12.04 (change in Lausanne). You could spend 2 or 3 hours in Montreux and leave at 15.44, arriving in Mürren at 19.51 (3 changes). Plenty of time to check into your hotel and settle in, then wake up in Mürren.
You can play with the departure/arrival times and schedules at the German rail site
Have fun!

Jumping in late here, but especially with a child, I would look into lodging in Wengen rather than Murren -- its easier to reach and honestly, I liked it better. Others may disagree.
Have fun!

Paris dp 8.02 (you will probably have to leave your hotel around 7am) - Montreux 12.04/15.44 - Golden Pass - Muerren ar 19.51 is feasible (it will get dark around 21.30); but you will sit 9 1/2 hrs in trains.
Spend the whole afternoon at Montreux and sleep there. There is so much to do and to see in this area (see my post above)!
Alternarively, you may go by train from Paris dp 8.02 to Rivaz ar 12.14 (change at Lausanne 11.37/12.00) and go on by historic steamboat sp 12.27 (pier a few steps from the railway station) up to Chillon Castle ar 13.30 (restaurant on board of the boat; luggage lockers in the castle), visit the castle and continue by train from Chillon castle train station dp 15.26 to Montreux - Golden Pass - Muerren ar 19.51.

Well, as I said above, I think an overnight while enroute is more hassle than it's worth:
"I would far prefer [a long day's travel] to having a one-night stop, which brings the hassle of hauling stuff to the hotel, checking in, and unpacking; then the next morning you have to pack up and check out, and haul stuff back to the station. So if it were me, I would just get the travel done with and enjoy my chosen destination."
In addition, having a two or three hour stop in the middle really helps make the long day of travel more comfortable.

kja - thank you so much for your comment on Wengen vs. Murren. This has been an ongoing question for me! We are more interested in a quiet village and hiking, so were leaning toward Murren. Our son is only 7, but a good hiker and not quite yet at an age where he needs a lot of entertainment choices.
Report Abuse
I also appreciate everyone's advice on the travel to and from Murren!
I think we will get more enjoyment out of our travel from Montreux to Murren if we save it for its own day. I usually lean toward getting travel done in one go, but the beauty of Montreux and the fact that the Golden Pass railway is a priority for us is swaying me toward the following:
6/18 - travel to Montreux (4 hours from Paris). Take boat or train to Chillon Castle and spend afternoon there. Overnight in Montreux.
6/19 - travel to Murren (3 hours).
6/20, 6/21, 6/22 - Murren
6/23 - travel to Lucerne (2.5 hours).
6/24 - Lucerne
6/25 - train to Zurich airport and travel home. International flight at 2pm.
This way we preserve our three full days in Murren. With shorter travel times, the stays in Montreux and Lucerne will be a bit more manageable.

Hi again,
I personally think the flowered lakeside promenade is one of the highlights of Montreux (it's my favorite spot in Switzerland, and I visit there for 2 weeks at a time every year or every other year). The best thing to do is to walk along the lake to Chillon, about 45 minutes. I think that's too short for a ferry ride, and it would be a shame to rush by that scenery on a bus or a train.
Walking toward Montreux isn't as scenic since you're facing that built-up urban area as you walk. You can just take the town bus back to town (you'll get the Riviera Card from your hosts that makes the town busses free).
Report Abuse
Thanks again swandav2000, that walk sounds lovely and exactly the right plan after the train travel from Paris. Do you have any suggestions for where we should stay for our one night in Montreux?
Report Abuse
Many folks find nearby Vevey even more romantic than Montreux - Vevey lovingly sticks out right into the lake in its town center and is just a few kms from Montreux with trolley buses or trains going to each other and onto Chillon - walk one way and take the train or bus back (buses covered in full by a Swiss Pass as are boat rides and I think admission to Chillon Castle may be too as 470+ Swiss museums and sites are also free for Swiss Passes.
Report Abuse
Hi again,
Sure, I'm happy to help you find a room in either Montreux or Vevey (the Riviera Card covers the busses in/through Vevey as well).
What is your preferred budget for the hotel?
What are your priorities for the hotel -- I mean, good views, good service, charming decor, great food, good location?
These days I stay at apartments when I'm there, but I've stayed in the 4-star Hotel Victoria (in Glion, above Montreux, probably my favorite hotel in the area, but not convenient for a quick one-night stay); the 5-star Plaza Hotel (waaay out of my budget these days, but great views); the 4-star Hotel Palace Eden au Lac (before they added the pretentious "Palace" to their name -- food was just so/so, but views are spectacular and location is perfect); the 3-star Hotel Tralala up in the old town (when it was also under another name and another management -- had no views of the lake); and the Ermitage (now a private residence, sadly).
On my short list for hotels if I ever go back to them is the 3-star Hostellerie Bon Rivage in Vevey (or actually in a suburb of Vevey called La Tour-de-Peilz). It sits right on the lake in a charming location, and it's just steps from a bus stop. It would be maybe a 15-minute walk from the Vevey train station.
You may want to consider the 4-star Suisse Majestic in Montreux. It sits right across the street from the train station, so you'll waste little of your precious few hours in Montreux getting to the hotel. It's not right on the lake but a few blocks above it, and I've heard its lakeside rooms have great views. All the rooms are sound-proofed, so even the street-side rooms should be quiet.
Well, let us know if you would like more choices!
Report Abuse
I stayed in the Suisse Majestic when I was in Montreux a few years ago and really liked the hotel a lot. It's really nice, but the location just can't be beat. Very convenient for train arrival/departure. It's best to get a room higher up as they do some rooms that are actually below ground floor (as it's kind of on a hill). So those rooms would be noisier as they are closer to activity in front of them on the street (the side towards the lake). I think some even have small terraces, don't recall for sure, as the hotel is still set back a bit from the main road that runs along the lake. I wouldn't even want a room on the other streetside as that has basically no view at all, it's just the train station or something. IN fact, that hotel even gave me a free transportation pass that I could use for the bus that runs along there to Vevey.
I never thought of Vevey or Montreux as particularly romantic, myself, that word never came to mind. One would likely not walk from Vevey to Chillon with a small child, as it's about 10 km.

Christina, *every* hotel (and apartment) must give you the Riviera Card that makes the busses free. The Majestic isn't notable for doing that --

Our priorities for the one night in Montreux are location (since we are only there for one night we would prefer to be someone central, close to the train station) and price (we understand it will be expensive, but hoping to find something below CHF250). Food/restaurant is not important. We would be fine with a double room and a rollaway bed for our son.
I looked at the Hotel Tralala and several booking sites show that it is full for 6/17/16 and 6/18/16. I haven't contacted the hotel directly. I did some web searching to see if there is an event in town that weekend and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know why this could be (other weekends in spring/early summer are still showing as available).

I could be wrong, but think it might be a bit early to be booking for next June. Have you checked booking.com?

Hi again,
Yes, you may be trying to book too early -- but it is strange that other weekends show availability. There are a number of congresses in town (comedy festival, etc), but they aren't on the calendar yet.
I just did a dummy booking at booking.com for your dates & with 2 people and 1 child, and here are the results that are in your price range:
Hotel Parc & Lac $176
Hotel Helvetie, $231
I also tried at the central tourist site of the area,
and they also had the Helvetie at 224 chf, and nothing else within your range.
The Helvetie isn't a bad place -- about 15 or 20 minutes' walk from the train station and about a block inland from the lake.
Just fyi, the Suisse Majestic is showing over $400 for your party for 1 night.
I wouldn't try the Tralala -- it's about a 20 minute walk UPHILL in the old town. I'm a big walker (don't have a car), and I thought it was an uncomfortable walk. Probably the least convenient of the hotels I mentioned.
I would try again in January or February to see what's available.
Hope you find something!

I think you can book now, assuming you are comfortable with the cancellation policies, and then cancel if necessary when you search again later. JMO.

For June (low season) Swiss people usually book 1 day ahead by phone or via www.booking.com

I wasn't planning to book hotels this early, but my first choice in Murren (Chalet Fontana) is already fully booked for the days we want (she has a reservation for a large school group)! I guess that startled me a bit. Of course, small Murren is very different from the larger cities.
We are now looking at the Hotel Jungfrau in Murren, which also looks very nice.
I'll hold off on hotels for Montreux and Luzern until after the holidays. I think the Hotel Helvetie is likely just what we are looking for.

Are you planning on staying in the Murren area much of the time - hiking but if doing day trips to other places in the Jungfrau Region Murren is more isolated than say Wengen or especially Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald or Wengen and most of the varied lures of the area are much closer to those places than Murren where to get down to Lauterbrunnen you must take a train to Grutschalp then change to a gondola that swoops down to Lauterbrunnen - if staying in Murren a Swiss Pass is very dandy because it covers transports in full to Murren.
