Rather like a motel, but quite pretty.Posted Jul 31, 2013
Pros: Room was very clean and comfortable.
Cons: Swimming pool ws small and looked out over the road.
Location: Arenzano is a lovely little resort but the hotel was way outside the town, so if you want to go there I would recommend staying in the town.
Breakfasts were pretty average. They were always running out of milk and you had to hunt for a waiter to get the jug filled up. The orange juice was more like orange squash.

Pleasantly surprisedPosted Sep 11, 2012 on Hotels.com
Didn't know what to expect from this hotel before we arrived. It was a stopover on our way to Florence, but what a pleasant surprise. Firstly, it's conveniently situated off the motorway, but not particularly convenient for the town itself - which is a good 20 minute walk away. However the hotel itself was great, the family room was very spacious and clean. It's an unusual layout, with the swimming pool situated in the foyer, but it worked very well. Breakfast was buffet style with a good and varied choice. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful - and the car park was free!! All in all a very pleasant stay.

Give this a miss, completelyPosted Jul 22, 2012
Pros: the local restaurant
Cons: everything aboiut this hotel
Location: poor, close to autoroute, but outside of town
Poor quality hotel in industrial area, north of town. cracked bathroom floors, poor quality cleanliness and overworked staff. We had booked two king beds, non smoking, but there are NO non-smoking rooms here and all beds are single mattresses. We were on a stopover and hoped to see the town but it is 2km north of the beaches, not a nice area, although the restaurant Al Fornico across the road was very nice. The pool was small and cold, it is not an outside pool and not heated, just the blinds open on one side to allow fresh air. The jacuzzi was small, most jets were not working and over chlorinated. If you need to park in underground garage, be aware of the steep access and hope that it hasn't rained or you'll not get out. We would not recommend this hotel to visitors, families or couples..

Very clean, good service but no smoke free rooms. Poor air conditioning. I stayed one night Oct. 2011, can't imagine how hot the rooms would be in the summer. Not a great location if you don't have a car.

Future of Nursing Initiative
TUESDAY, Oct. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Plasma levels of proneurotensin are associated with the future development of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cardiovascular and total mortality, as well as breast cancer in women, according to a study published in the Oct. 10 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Olle Melander, M.D., Ph.D., from Lund University in Malmö, Sweden, and colleagues measured plasma levels of proneurotensin in 4,632 fasting participants of the population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer Study to examine whether fasting plasma concentrations of a 117-amino acid fragment correlated with development of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and mortality. Participants were followed for 13.2 to 15.7 years, depending on the disease.
The researchers found that, overall, proneurotensin was related to risk of incident diabetes (142 events; hazard ratio [HR], 1.28), cardiovascular disease (519 events; HR, 1.17), and cardiovascular mortality (174 events; HR, 1.29). For cardiovascular disease, there was a significant interaction between proneurotensin and sex. For women only, proneurotensin correlated with incident diabetes (74 events; HR, 1.41), cardiovascular disease (224 events; HR, 1.33), breast cancer (123 events; HR, 1.44), total mortality (285 events; HR, 1.13), and cardiovascular mortality (75 events; HR, 1.50).
"Fasting proneurotensin was significantly associated with the development of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and with total and cardiovascular mortality," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to pharmaceutical companies, including Sphingo Tec GmbH, which holds the patent rights for use of proneurotensin. One author is listed as an inventor on the same patent application.

If you are looking for a relaxing stress free stay in DC, this is your hotel. It's particularly nice in the winter what with all the dark paneled wood public rooms with wood burning fireplaces that make you feel as if you're in some rich patriarch's many roomed mansion. I stayed in a suite and it was far more bland than all the cosy opulence below, but was indeed quiet and soothing. The bathroom, though, for a suite, was mondo pedestrian. The views are bad, if you're looking for views, please go to the Hay Adams or yes, the W, unless their lounge music in the elevators doesn't make you want to claw out the eyes of the 20 somethings in bad heels floating everywhere.

One of the reasons why investors are attracted to dividend paying stocks is the consistency in the amount and timing of dividend payments. Unless companies are operating in a challenging economic environment, a portfolio of well chosen blue chip dividend stocks should be able to provide a stable dividend stream of cash in investors' brokerage accounts, which should also grow over time. Unfortunately, the rate of growth in distributions can vary significantly depending on a variety of factors, including corporate policy and overall state of the economy to name a few.
Companies do not increase dividends at the same rate every year. This is true, even for corporations which have managed to build long records of consecutive distributions increases. Each year, Boards of Directors convene in order to determine the near-term outlook for the business, as well as long-term strategic plans such as capital expenditures, acquisitions, divestitures and strategy. Nobody has a better gauge of the pulse of the business than management. As a result, after all is set and done, the board allocates a certain portion to dividends. Depending on various factors, the distribution could grow at differing rates or it could even be decreased or completely eliminated.
This is particularly true when looking at the historical dividend growth of such otherwise outstanding dividend aristocrats like PepsiCo (PEP), Emerson Electric (EMR), McDonald's (MCD) and 3M (MMM).
Over the past decade, PepsiCo (PEP) has managed to boost annual distributions by 13.30% per year. The rate at which annual dividends increased ranged from a low of 3.50% in 2002 to a high of 20.54% in 2007. Between 1998 and 2002, PepsiCo's distributions increased by 4% per year, followed by a 5.10% increase in 2003, before resuming their increase at double digit rates of growth. The company has boosted payouts for 41 years in a row and currently yields 3.10%. (analysis)
Over the past decade, McDonald's (MCD) has managed to raise dividends by 27.40% per year. The rate at which annual distributions were raised ranged from a low of 4.40% in 2002 to a high of 70.20% in 2003. Between 2000 and 2002, McDonald's distributions increased by less than 5% per year. The 70% distribution hike in 2003 started a trend of strong dividend growth. The company has boosted payouts for 35 years in a row and currently yields 2.90%.(analysis)
3M (MMM) has a ten year average dividend growth rate of 6.20% per year. The company's dividend growth has oscillated between a low of 2% in 2009 to a high of 16.70% in 2005. The company is one of a dozen or so corporations in the world which have managed to boost dividends for over half a century. The slow distributions growth has lead to a decrease in dividend payout ratio, which increases the odds that higher dividend growth will be in place within a few years.The company has boosted payouts for 54 years in a row and currently yields 2.70%.(analysis)
Just like 3M (MMM), Emerson Electric (EMR) has managed to boost distributions for over half a century. Over the past decade, the company has managed to boost distributions by 6.40%/year. The company raised distributions by 1.40% in 2002 and 2003, which was followed by faster dividend growth through 2009. After that the company managed to boost annual distributions at a rather anemic 2%. The reason for decline in distribution growth was mostly due to weakness from its business segments, due to the tough economic position of the world economy. The company has boosted payouts for 55 years in a row and currently yields 3.30%.(analysis)
In general, there is variability between dividend growth rates in different years. Good years are followed by slow years and vice versa. At the end of the day however, future dividend growth will depend on the long-term success of the company. By properly executing its strategy, a company should be able to generate a sufficient amount of profits in order to grow and paying a higher dividend to its loyal shareholders.

Thank you again, Mr. DGI. This is very good historical perspective. We need some perspective and encouragement to hang in there with stocks like PEP this year. I guess the question becomes how long do you wait? You do not want to leave good stocks to chase yield growth, but on the other hand you do not want to hang onto a stock with permanent low increases. I guess you just look at history, earnings growth, payout rations, and make the best decision you can. Anyone else have thoughts?ReplyDelete

Emmy Award nominated TWO AND A HALF MEN has been the Number One-rated sitcom on television for the past four seasons. It's a comedy about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, sibling relations, surrogate families, money and, most importantly, love. More specifically, it's about the lives of two brothers, one brother's son, and the many women who surround them. Charlie Harper is a well-to-do bachelor with a house at the beach, a Mercedes in the garage and an easy way with women. His casual Malibu lifestyle was interrupted when his tightly wound brother, Alan, and Alan's son, Jake, came to stay with him. Complicating matters further are Charlie and Alan's narcissistic, emotionally toxic mother, Evelyn; Alan's deeply neurotic ex-wife, Judith and Charlie's domineering, unapologetically blue-collar housekeeper, Berta. Despite the complexities of their lives and their own strained relationship, Charlie and Alan have one thing in common - they both love Jake and want what's best for him. As a result, they manage to create a little family unit that promises to make each of them a better man.
Two And A Half Men: Season 6 clip - starring Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones, Conchata Ferrell, Holland Taylor, Marin Hinkle. Directed by Lee Aronsohn.
Two And A Half Men: Season 4 clip - starring Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones, Conchata Ferrell, Holland Taylor, Marin Hinkle. Directed by Lee Aronsohn.
Alan gets offended when Walden asks him to sign a prenuptial agreement, which gives him pause about getting married.
Alan shows Walden the picture boards he's created with their wedding in mind.
Walden Schmidt and Alan Harper (Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer) have spent another year searching for the ideal life in their Malibu beach house. In the 12th and final season, Alan and Walden will continue their search for true love, contentment and the meaning of life. And they may actually find a couple of those things!
Two and a Half Men's Jon Cryer and TV Guide's Lisa Joyner are newly married and in love. Get the scoop on their sparks.
Emmy winner Jon Cryer stars alongside the talented Ashton Kutcher in the Emmy-nominated Two and a Half Men as the hit comedy returns for its 11th season. Another year of bachelorhood is sure to bring new adventures for roommates Walden Schmidt (Kutcher) and Alan Harper (Cryer), especially when a niece of Alan's, who shares a few characteristics with her father, shows up at the beach house.
Season Eight brings a return to bachelordom for Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) as TV's #1 comedy finds its hilarious form once more. Add in the amorous blunders of Charlie's divorcee brother Alan and the lovable, but sometimes cement-headed decisions of Charlie's teenaged nephew Jake and these (almost three) men add up to riotous fun!
Will Charlie take a spin on the marriage-go-round? The boys (all two and a half men's worth) are back for a snappy, smart season of TV's #1 comedy hit. And while a drop-dead gorgeous parade of Sandys, Mandis and Kandis march in and out of Charlie's Malibu beach house, the true heart of the series remains the makeshift family that calls this place home - including carefree bachelor Charlie (Charlie Sheen), his finicky chiropractor brother Alan (Jon Cryer) and Alan's outspoken young son Jake (Angus T. Jones).

WEDNESDAY, June 1 (HealthDay News) -- Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) may be used as an indicator of language impairment in children with autism, according to a study published online May 31 in Radiology.
Grace Lai, Ph.D., from Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, and colleagues investigated the use of fMRI as an indicator of language disability in children with autism. A total of 15 children (mean age, 12.1 years) without autism and 12 children with language impairment and autism (mean age, 12.4) underwent fMRI during passive presentations of pre-recorded speech. An additional 27 children with autism (mean age, 8.4) who underwent routine MRI scans with sedation were also included in the study. The spread and amplitude of fMRI activation were quantified in the primary auditory cortex (A1) and superior temporal gyrus (STG). The threshold for autism was defined as one standard deviation below the control mean for children who underwent nonsedated scans. A similar threshold was estimated for sedated children with autism.
The investigators found that there was no difference between children with and without autism in A1 activity, but there was a significant difference in the mean amplitude and spread of activity in the STG. Values for 10 of the 12 (83 percent) nonsedated children with autism decreased at least one standard deviation below the control distribution. By using the threshold derived from sedation-adjusted values of the control group it was possible to identify 26 of the 27 (96 percent) sedated children with autism.
"Functional MR imaging activation within the STG in response to passive speech stimulation helped differentiate autistic from control subjects, demonstrating the potential utility of functional MR imaging as an objective indicator of language impairment in autism," the authors write.

Hailed by the musical critics as "virtuoso extraordinaire" (Nice Matin), "absolutely astonishing" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram), "prodigious talent" (Soundboard), Lorenzo Micheli, theorbist and guitarist, has taken up a busy concert career throughout the world since winning the first prize in some of the most prestigious guitar competitions (Gargnano, Alessandria, Guitar Foundation of America). He performs regularly – both as a soloist and with orchestra – in Europe and all over the US and Canada, as well as in Africa, Asia and Latin America. As a researcher and scholar, he has written articles and contributions for a number of music journals, including Il Fronimo and Guitar Forum.

Their guitar duo was welcomed by The Washington Post as "nothing less than rapturous", and The New York Concert Review wrote about their Carnegie Hall debut: "It is hard to say what left more of an impression: their remarkable blend, their sublime artistry or their impeccable technique. Do not miss a chance to hear them."

Hollande meets Van Rompuy to discuss euro, growth
PARIS (Reuters) – French president-elect Francois Hollande began his drive to persuade European partners to shift their economic policy priority from austerity to growth when he met on Wednesday with European Council President Herman Van Rompuy.
Hollande takes his call to add growth elements to Europe's fiscal compact to Berlin next week.
France's Hollande may roll back spending promises
PARIS (Reuters) – France's Socialist president-elect Francois Hollande may use a summer audit of state finances to water down his generous campaign promises rather than risk a backlash from financial markets against stubbornly high deficits and rising debt.
Advisers say he could even freeze some spending if the review turns up any nasty surprises, soothing investors who are worried he has become the figurehead for a fight against German-imposed austerity in the euro zone.
Sarkozy indicates stepping back from politics
PARIS (Reuters) – French President Nicolas Sarkozy indicated on Sunday he would step down from political leadership after accepting responsibility for his defeat by Socialist Francois Hollande.
During his campaign, he had promised to quit politics if he became only the second French president to lose a bid for re-election. Conceding defeat on Sunday, he said: "I am not a man to shirk responsibilities. When there is a defeat, it is the Number 1 who accepts the consequences.
Socialists celebrate as French vote nears close
PARIS (Reuters) – France looked set to crown Francois Hollande as its first Socialist president in nearly two decades in an election on Sunday, marking a shift to the left at the heart of Europe and heralding a fight back against German-led austerity.
Conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy, swamped by anger at a surge in unemployment during his five-year term, faced being the 11th euro zone leader to be swept from power by the economic crisis after final opinion polls placed Hollande between four and eight points ahead.
Hollande favourite as French prepare for Sunday vote
PARIS (Reuters) – Overseas voters cast early ballots on the eve of an election expected to make Francois Hollande France's first Socialist leader in two decades, despite polls showing President Nicolas Sarkozy clawing back some ground.
Sunday's election, which coincides with parliamentary polls in Greece, may prove decisive for Europe as Hollande has pledged to temper a German-led austerity drive and reorient the recession-stricken euro zone towards growth.
France readies for poll, Sarkozy closes on Hollande
PARIS (Reuters) – Campaigning ended on Saturday in France for a decisive second-round presidential vote expected to crown Francois Hollande the country's first Socialist leader in two decades despite polls showing President Nicolas Sarkozy clawing back some ground.
Sunday's election, which coincides with parliamentary polls in Greece, may prove decisive for the direction of Europe as Hollande has promised he will try to temper a German-led austerity drive across Europe and reorientate the recession-struck euro zone towards growth.
France's Sarkozy in vote appeal as margin narrows
PARIS (Reuters) – Conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy made an impassioned final appeal to voters on Friday, saying that a Socialist victory could send France spiraling the way of Greece, as polls showed him narrowing his challenger's lead two days before the vote.
Final opinion polls put Francois Hollande's advantage at as little as four points. But Sarkozy faced an uphill battle after Hollande turned in a polished performance in their only television debate on Wednesday, and far-right and centrist leaders declined to back the unpopular president.
Sarkozy courts far-right but fails to floor Hollande
PARIS (Reuters) – French President Nicolas Sarkozy made a last-ditch appeal to far-right voters on Thursday, saying they could be decisive in Sunday's election runoff, after he failed to land a knockout blow in a debate with Socialist frontrunner Francois Hollande.
Wednesday's three-hour televised duel, watched by 17.8 million people out of an electorate of 44.5 million, was billed as Sarkozy's last opportunity to overturn a poll deficit of six to 10 points, drawing on his skills as an aggressive debater.
Sarkozy fails to floor Hollande in French vote duel
PARIS, May 3 (Reuters) – French President Nicolas Sarkozy
made a last-ditch appeal to far-right voters on Thursday after
failing to land a knockout blow in a heated televised debate
with Socialist rival Francois Hollande before Sunday's decisive
Hollande, ahead in opinion polls by six to 10 points, was
calm and unflappable during the nearly three-hour debate on
Wednesday while the conservative Sarkozy, struggling to catch up
with the moderate social democrat, was often agitated and tense.
Sarkozy, Hollande go head to head in TV debate
PARIS (Reuters) – French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist rival Francois Hollande were set to clash in their only television debate on Wednesday seen as the conservative incumbent's last chance to turn the odds of re-election in his favour.
Trailing Hollande in opinion polls for Sunday's decisive runoff despite an aggressive campaign and a lurch to the right to appeal to far-right votes, Sarkozy billed the prime-time debate as the "moment of truth" in the race.

Author information
Chuck Wendig is equal parts novelist, screenwriter, and game designer - A.K.A. an all-around "freelance penmonkey." You can probably find him on the side of a highway holding a sign, "Will Write For Booze." He currently lives in the wilds of Pennsyltucky with wife, dog, and infant heir to the Wendig throne. You can find him dispensing dubious writing advice at his blog, terribleminds.com. Chuck was nominated for the 2013 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.
Review quote
"Wendig's second novel is a splendidly profane slice of urban fantasy - hard, dark and fast. Slick one-liners and laugh-out-loud descriptions pepper the prose, making "Blackbirds" a black comedy that even the Grim Reaper could smile at."- The Financial Times "Vivid and violent... a sassy, hard-boiled thriller with a paranormal slant"- The Guardian "Wendig's dark and twisty adventure is filled with misfit characters who defy easy stereotypes... despite fate being hell-bent on keeping her down, Miriam's stubborn struggle to change it makes "Blackbirds" take flight" - Elyse Dinh-McCrillis, Shelf Awareness "Visceral and often brutal, this tale vibrates with emotional rawness that helps to paint a bleak, unrelenting picture of life on the edge." - Publishers Weekly "In addition to a cast of well developed yet mentally unstable characters that enhance a fantastically horrifying plot, "Blackbirds" possesses a natural progression that doesn't rely on convenience or contrived circumstances to move the story forward. Author Wendig's distinctive, straightforward style is accessible and insistent; and the generous helpings of violence are strangely invigorating. Chuck Wendig has raised the bar of the urban fantasy genre . . ."- Renee C. Fountain, New York Journal of Books "Think "Six Feet Under" co-written by Stephen King and Chuck Palahniuk..." - SFX "Wendig has taken the American roadside story and turned it into a tale of supernatural terror. This is a treat for those of us who like their horror vampire-free and swear-word heavy." - Starburst ""Blackbirds" is a high energy, whiskey-fuelled ride, that will pull you along for the journey and have you questioning whether we can change destiny. A must-read book by an author that is worth watching." - Fantasy Faction "Chuck Wendig has managed to take the best of urban fantasy and crime noir, twist 'em together like barbed wire, and drag you right over the ba

Vado - Be Like
Artist: Vado
Producer: AlistFame, StoopidOnDaBeat, Butter Beats
Album: Sinatra EP
Avg Rating: 2.5 ( 6 votes )
To describe Vado's latest single, Be Like, in a few words, it's like Whoa! And I mean that in more ways than one: "Whoa!" is an appropriate reaction to this street banger, which is similar to Whoa!, the 2000 lead single off Black Rob's freshman set—in fact, you could call it an homage to that classic joint. AlistFame, StoopidOnDaBeat and Butter Beats build their instrumental around the same string loop (sampled from François Valéry's Joy (Version Originale Orchestrale)) that graced Buckwild's production on the above-mentioned song, and the New York rhymesayer borrows Rob's call-and-response format for his verses. (This time, though, the response is not "Whoa!" but "Huhh!") Be Like is just a promotional single, but those feeling it should keep it locked to the Booth for further details on Vado's 2014 plans.
