Score from 166 reviews Excellent
Right i the centre of town, this classic hotel was just what we needed. The staff were so helpful, too. We ate one night in the restaurant and had a very good expereince: perfect service, excellent food and drink.
All hotel rooms are a bit warm for me and this waqs no exception. At least the window opened which is not always the case!
Location Facilities
Room was too small Bed was small for 2 people No bath just shower
Staff, room size
Restaurant had great service but main course was appallingly cooked, staff recognised this and credited the dish.
Convenience to Sandwich station and the centre. Our room had a river view and was comfortable and clean with good facilities. The staff were very friendly and efficient.
It was a little cold in the communal areas and the dining room lacked atmosphere. A real fire would have made all the difference.
Bedrooms to a high standard. Food was great. Staff very friendly and helpful I attended a wedding and it was very well planned and executed.
Lack of parking
the polite and friendly staff the clean,comfortable room with good views and windows which opened to allow us some fresh air! refreshing to stay in such a light and airy hotel with such individual style and decor excellent breakfast
We enjoy very much of the bar and breakfast!
Parking in the front is very limited, If you are with young baby or kids is not so easy and you need to park very quickly and speak to stuff then go to the corner and park for free.
Location , good breakfast
For us the beds are very hard & uncomfortable
The service in the restaurant is apawlimg and has not improved since my last stay
I liked everything.
Absolutely loved the location, Sandwich is a beautiful town and offers everything you need for a short stay right on your doorstep. The Bell is centrally located and the facilities were wonderful. A little to warm to have the heating on when we visited though so the restaurant area was overly warm.
Location, bar setting, friendly staff
Wifi through cloud, poor service - forgot main course, when it arrived is partly burnt.
No lift
It is set in a nice place close to the river, there are some wonderful historic buildings and the bell hotel is sited in the middle. The food was great and the staff are friendly.
Parking is an issue and it is stated on the website, I have stayed at the bell hotel before and it was fantastic, unfortunately this particular visit was a bad one for me, the door in room 15 does not lock so keep your valuables with you, also I spent most of the night awake and icing as there was something in the room biting me. Walking from the main room to the bathroom I noticed that my feet and legs were itchy also, I will not be staying in that room again. But will stay at the hotel in the future just in another room.
Nice location, room small but comfortable and clean with friendly helpful staff.
Hotel corridors were hot and stuffy even though it was October. Room at front of hotel overlooking restuarant was noisey due to air conditioning or chillers running all night.
The breakfast was superb. Cooked to order and served by friendly and professional staff
Not much...the room if anything was a little cramped but ok
This was our second visit to The Bell Hotel. We were made very welcome and the hotel was clean and comfortable. Would certainly visit again.
I do not like Cloud wifi
Friendly staff
room was too hot
Central situation near river and car park. Comfortable room and helpful staff.
Very few dedicated parking places so had to park in nearby car park
The rooms I have slept in at The Bell are always the right temperature, and quiet. I do like quick room service, and got that. The en suite had a Lovely old shower head which I like.The beds are glorious! and of course if you are high up, as I was, the view is very restful and pleasant, and you don't hear the traffic.
I would have vacuumed the carpet in the room again, but it was clean, as was the room, and shower. Each time I visit, I forget to ask for a room lower down, I am elderly, I do keep fit, however the furthest room from reception, is on floor 27, where they put me, and with a hefty bag, and a satchel, and lap top to boot, it is heart attack height if you are not fit, even without bags. There are lots of landings, and doors to get through. I will remember next time, if there is one, to ask if they can accommodate me a bit lower down the stairs, (no lift.) Be warned if you are over sixty and unfit.
Plumbing problem solved very quickly Fan provided and top sheet to help heat problem. Very helpful cheerful staff. Good breakfasts
Room very high up, faced sun all day and reached 27-30 degrees. Hot at night Bar food not always up to standard expected and main menu a bit limited as we stayed for a week.
Very friendly staff, nice rooms, great location, great breakfast
Could have used a fan (or air con) as it was quite humid
Rooms Location Bar
Inflexible with Saturday Breakfast, would not service a cooked one before 0800hrs

Odds are the next Tampa Bay Rays manager will have ties to the Royals. The Rays announced three finalists for their managerial vacancy Friday, and Royals bench coach Don Wakamatsu and Royals outfielder Raul Ibañez are two of them. The other finalist is Cleveland bullpen coach Kevin Cash.
The Royals have told partial season-ticket holders that higher demand for full (81 games) or half (41 games) season-ticket packages could mean no availability in the same section for Opening Day. But Opening Day will still be included in 20-game plans and those partial season-ticket holders will have the opportunity to select their Opening Day seats rather than have them assigned by the team.
At the quarterly MLB owners meetings this week in Kansas City, Royals owner David Glass received a dose of cold comfort from outgoing commissioner Bud Selig, who stewarded Milwaukee during their run to the World Series in 1982. "You never quite get over," Selig told Glass. "But when you think back on it, you had a hell of a year."
The Royals made a trade and added two players to their 40-man roster before baseball's 11 p.m. Thursday reserve list deadline. Left-hander Kyle Bartsch was sent to San Diego for 23-year-old outfielder Reymond Fuentes and the Royals also selected the contracts of Class AA outfielder Jorge Bonifacio and infielder Orlando Calixte, protecting them from the Rule V draft.

Random Awkwardness
Awkward News Update: Laser Cat
Well, order has been restored to the universe. Schenectady High School senior Draven Rodriguez, who started a petition to get his unusual photo featured in the yearbook as his senior portrait, has his cake and is now eating it too. Recently, the school's principal posed for a photo with Rodriquez in the ultimate display of solidarity. Perhaps our education system is in better shape than we thought.

That 80′s Show
Awkward News: Laser Cat Inspires Petition
An Upstate New York high school student wants his classmates to remember him as someone who loves cats. And lasers.
Schenectady High School senior Draven Rodriguez has started a petition to get his unusual photo featured in the yearbook as his senior portrait. "I'm hoping that with enough signatures, my school simply can't turn this down," he writes.
The picture shows Rodriguez wearing a suit, cuddling with a fluffy cat in front of an '80s style laser background. He says Vincent Giordano took and edited the picture, and gave permission to use it.
CBS 6 in Albany reports the school gave Rodriguez permission to put the "cat-tastic" image in the yearbook, but not as his senior portrait.
"To clarify, the school HAS NOT YET DECLINED this photo," Rodriguez wrote on his petition. "This is my pre-emptive strike just in case such a thing were to happen. I wanted as many backers as possible before the deadline of September 15th."
As of Thursday morning, more than 650 people signed the petition, surpassing his original goal of 500. To see the petition, visit www.ipetitions.com/petition/get-my-photo-into-the-yearbook.

Early Bird Special at Cloud Expo
June 2, 2008 - Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.
|* distributed computing
|* grid computing
|* utility computing
|* cloud computing
The term cloud computing probably comes from (at least partly) the use of a cloud image to represent the Internet or some large networked environment. We don't care much what's in the cloud or what goes on there except that we depend on reliably sending data to and receiving data from it. Cloud computing is now associated with a higher level abstraction of the cloud. Instead of there being data pipes, routers and servers, there are now services. The underlying hardware and software of networking is of course still there but there are now higher level service capabilities available used to build applications. Behind the services are data and compute resources. A user of the service doesn't necessarily care about how it is implemented, what technologies are used or how it's managed. Only that there is access to it and has a level of reliability necessary to meet the application requirements.
Launched in 2007, Cloud Expo is the world's largest Cloud Computing event.
In essence this is distributed computing. An application is built using the resource from multiple services potentially from multiple locations. At this point, typically you still need to know the endpoint to access the services rather than having the cloud provide you available resources. This is also know as Software as a Service. Behind the service interface is usually a grid of computers to provide the resources. The grid is typically hosted by one company and consists of a homogeneous environment of hardware and software making it easier to support and maintain. (note: my definition of a grid is different from the wikipedia definition, but homogeneous environments in data centers is typically what I have run across). Once you start paying for the services and the resources utilized, well that's utility computing.
Cloud computing really is accessing resources and services needed to perform functions with dynamically changing needs. An application or service developer requests access from the cloud rather than a specific endpoint or named resource. What goes on in the cloud manages multiple infrastructures across multiple organizations and consists of one or more frameworks overlaid on top of the infrastructures tying them together. Frameworks provide mechanisms for:
- self-healing
- self monitoring
- resource registration and discovery
- service level agreement definitions
- automatic reconfiguration
The cloud is a virtualization of resources that maintains and manages itself. There are of course people resources to keep hardware, operation systems and networking in proper order. But from the perspective of a user or application developer only the cloud is referenced. The Assimilator project is a framework that executes across a heterogeneous environment in a local area network providing a local cloud environment. In the works is the addition of a network overlay to start providing an infrastructure across the Internet to help achieve the goal of true cloud computing.

Cloud Computing is a broad term. Simply searching "Cloud Computing" on Google will give you a listing of the Wikipedia page that has a great video at the bottom of the external links section.
Personally, I reviewed the entire Wikipedia document and found many things that are familiar to me and our ASP businesses from past and present technology configurations.
One very note-able difference however, is the concepts of mass consumption of data (text and binary), scalability, new abstraction layers, strong APIs and SOA Web Service offerings, and a proliferation of heavy attention being focused to solve new issues for Cross Domain Security imposed by the web browsers sandboxes. Single Sign On with SAML is now the standard for Cross Platform, and Cross Framework and SaaS offerings are the key to making the link work.
A myriad of new computing and Identity Management scenarios are being born and enhanced every day in turn Glue-ing these powerful Cloud Based technologies, disparate networks, and application data stores into one or more unified Modals for business.

Isn't this just a variation on the old bureau services of many years ago? Some different approaches etc but the same principle.

I surf with www.treehoo.com that uses most of its profit to plant trees and fight global warming and climate change. The service is free and on the site you can do Google searches plus more. Everyone should use it as their default homepage, I do!
The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

Jonathan Tunick Welcomes Barbara Cook as Special Guest 11/24 at Birdland
Jim Caruso's Cast Party will present orchestrator, musical director and composer Jonathan Tunick in concert, as part of the Nightlife Award-winning series Broadway at Birdland. The event will take place on Monday, November 24 at 7pm.
Winner of the Oscar, Tony, Emmy, and Grammy Awards, Jonathan Tunick brings back the sound of the big bands with the debut performance of The Broadway Moonlighters, featuring New York's finest musicians and a very special Broadway superstar guest you will not want to miss!
Wait no more to found out who the superstar will be, because BroadwayWorld has learned that the special surprise guest will be beloved stage icon Barbara Cook.
Tunick is also celebrating his induction into the 2009 Theatre Hall of Fame!
Jonathan Tunick won the Academy Award for Best Music, Best Original Song Score and Best Adaption for the film "A Little Night Music." He won the Tony Award for Best Orchestrations for Titanic, a Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement for "No One Is Alone," performed by Cleo Lane, and an Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction for "Night of 100 Stars."
Barbara Cook will be releasing her new DRG Records release, Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder, on November 11th, 2008.
Accompanying Ms. Cook on this, her 14th album for DRG, is new musical director/arranger Lee Musiker, along with bassist Pete Johnson, percussionist/drummer, Jim Saporito, and on woodwinds, Lawrence Feldman. Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder features classics such as " Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder," the standard "Old Devil Moon" and pop hits "For All We Know" and "Lucky To Be Me." The album was produced by DRG President and Grammy-award winner Hugh Fordin.
This beloved singer, one of the glories of Broadway in so many fondly remembered shows, is still dazzling audiences today, with a voice remarkably unchanged after a career of more than five decades. Considered "Broadway's favorite ingénue" during the heyday of the Broadway musical, Miss Cook then launched a second career as a concert and cabaret artist soaring from one professional peak to another. Throughout her career her singing has attracted generations of fans, and the admiration of her peers and colleagues, from the world of both popular and classical music.
Whether on the stages of major international venues throughout the world or in the intimate setting of New York's Café Carlyle, Barbara Cook's popularity continues to thrive - as evidenced by having her own evening at the Metropolitan Opera House on January 21, 2006. The first female non-classical singer to be presented by the Met during their long history. In addition to countless Carnegie Hall solo engagements,, and an ever-growing mantle of honors including the Tony, Grammy, Drama Desk and New York Drama Critics Circle Awards, her citation as a Living New York Landmark and her induction into the Theatre Hall of Fame.

St. Catherine of Siena Comments
The 25th child of a wool dyer in northern Italy, St. Catherine started having mystical experiences when she was only 6, seeing guardian angels as clearly as the people they protected. She became a Dominican tertiary when she was 16, and continued to have visions of Christ, Mary, and the saints. St. Catherine was one of the most brilliant theological minds of her day, although she never had any formal education. She persuaded the Pope to go back ... Continue Reading

The Week In Polls--July 6--Democrats Grab Generic Lead
Polls are fewer in number this vacation week, but overall they must be termed good news for President Obama and Democrats. Of course that could all change in the wake of poor jobs numbers Friday, and Obama is indeed viewed more unfavorably than favorably, but it's a question of—compared to what.
Compared to Mitt Romney, he's in relatively good shape, not only nationwide but in the states which will really matter come November. Increasingly focus must shift to the three big states of Virginia, Florida, and Ohio, and yes, I am going to start listing Virginia first.
Obama is ahead in all three of those states, but even more alarmingly for Republicans this week, the party has fallen behind in the Real Clear Politics average for the all-important generic Congressional ballot. Republicans had led most of the year, but they now trail by 1.8 points (44.4-42.6). Rasmussen, which has had the GOP up six to seven points most of the year, now has their lead at only one point (41-40). Most pundits don't see this as enough for Democrats to regain control of the U.S. House, but it has to be disconcerting for the GOP.
Equally as problematic are the top of the ticket numbers. RCP has Obama ahead of Romney by 2.7 points (47.0-44.3), nearly the same as pollster which has Obama up by 2.5 points (47.1-44.6).
At the same time, Pollster has Obama 2.7 points under water in favorability (46.3-49.1) and RCP has him down a point (47.3-48.3).
In other words, even though Obama isn't doing much to please people, Mitt Romney is falling farther behind rather than closing the gap.
Fivethirtyeight.com updates its numbers on a daily basis now, and today it has Obama winning 300 electoral votes to 238 for Romney.
It's projecting Florida as the closest state (49.7-49.2 for Obama) with Virginia at 50.4-48.6 for Obama and Ohio at 50.4-47.8 for Obama.
Even with the recent Marist tie in New Hampshire built into the formula, 538 now projects Obama to win here 51.9-48.1.
Of course these numbers could all change at once (the jobs report could be the catalyst), but any partisan Republican must be worried.
Today Rasmussen had Romney up two (46-44), but Gallup has Obama up four (48-44); those are the two pollsters which keep track on a daily basis. Less frequent pollsters tend to show even better numbers for Obama.
Gallup is out with a survey which shows little support for third party candidates this year, but what little support there is comes at Romney's expense. In a poll released today, Obama leads Romney 47-40 with Libertarian Gary Johnson registering at three percent (and two percent volunteering Ron Paul's name) and Jill Stein of the Green Party at one percent. If Ron Paul decides to run, Romney will have virtually no chance, but don't look for that to happen.
North Carolina appears to be in Romney's camp. Civitas has him up five points there (50-45), so that's one less state to worry about. We Ask America has Obama up only one in Florida (46-45).
A look inside American Research Group's recent New Hampshire poll bodes ill for Romney with Independents. Obama leads 49-41 overall, but his margin is 63-33 with voters registered in neither party (Romney leads 82-12 with Republicans; Obama 81-14 with Democrats, pretty much a wash).
ARG also shows a huge gender gap in New Hampshire. Obama leads 58-34 among women, Romney 44-52 among men.
The only good news for Romney is that he cuts the eight point deficit down to three when only those certain to vote are considered.
With all the talk this week of Ohio Republican Secretary of State Josh Mandel coming on against incumbent Democrats Sherrod Brown in the Senate race, I decided to check the Real Clear Politics average. It does NOT appear to be close with Brown leading by 10.5 points (48.5-38.0). Only Rasmussen has Mandel even close (down 47-42). PPP has Brown up 46-39, perhaps the first indication that Mandel could be closing (you can usually add three points to any Republican in a PPP poll result). PPP has Obama up only three (47-44) in Ohio.
The latest I can find on the other Brown (Republican Scott in Massachusetts) is a 46-46 tie, but that's from PPP, so we can assume Brown is actually ahead.
As for Obamacare, only CNN/Opinion Research has it viewed favorably (52-47). Strangely enough, even in that poll, most people want it repealed (52-46). Go figure. Rasmussen has it at -13 (39-52), Fox at -10 (39-49).
Three Senate polls come as good news for Republicans. It may be an outliar but We Ask America had Republican George Allen nine points ahead of Kaine in Virginia (44-35). Quinnipiac had Republican Connie Mack within one (41-40) of Nelson in Florida, and Rasmussen has Republican Jeff Flake up 16 points (47-31) over Carmona in Arizona (for the Kyl seat).
