Ever since the fashion industry started to open itself up a little bit to the Internet, the problem of timely commerce has been looming. If the general public can see and get excited about a collection in September, why can't we sell it to them in September?
Buzz Worthy(Page 5)
It's happened. Summer has ended. I have no idea how this came upon us so quickly, but it did. Memorial Day always signifies the kick-off to summer while Labor Day represents the end, and with the passage of Labor Day not only does it mean summer is over, but also that we have to consider the old rule of no more wearing white.
Last week, I kicked off one of my mornings in an ultimate dream by having an intimate breakfast in the Bloomingdale's Lexington Avenue flagship before the store opened. This breakfast was hosted by DKNY and Lauren Bush Lauren of FEED, whose mission is to create good products that help FEED the world, literally.
Tracking down and buying Loewe bags in the US is hard and because of this, I rarely think of the Spanish brand that makes such covetable bags. But the other day I was thinking of what brands we can feature that are different from the usual designers we've come to associate with designer handbags, and Loewe popped into my mind.
When we told you about the CFDA's and eBay Fashion Vault's inaugural You Can't Fake Fashion event to combat counterfeit handbags, the response was overwhelming. eBay's litany of designer-customized totes sold out in minutes, which raised lots of money for the CFDA Foundation.

Tax instruments are frequently used as explicit tools of land policy. As discussed in Chapter 7, the goal is sometimes to limit development to preserve open space. In other situations the goal is to promote more intensive use of the land by encouraging economic development. This chapter focuses on two of the strategies used by local governments to promote local economic development, particularly in metropolitan areas. 1 One strategy is to provide tax abatements to new or expanding firms for a specified period of years. A second, related, strategy is to target the tax relief to spatially defined areas, often referred to as enterprise zones. Other tax policies to promote development include reducing the property taxes on improvements relative to taxes on land, a strategy currently used only by Pittsburgh and a few other Pennsylvania cities, and financing the public infrastructure needed for economic development from the tax increments generated by the development. These two strategies are described and evaluated in Chapters 6 and 9.
Tax abatements can be viewed as 'tax expenditures' in that the same economic development goals could be achieved through the expenditure side of the budget. For example, giving a firm a tax abatement is comparable to taxing the firm at the full tax rate and then appropriating money to subsidize the firm's investment decision. Typically, tax expenditures receive less public scrutiny than comparable subsidies appropriated as expenditures. This lack of scrutiny may help to account for the widespread use of tax abatements by local governments despite the conventional wisdom of economists that many of them are not very effective.
In principle one should judge the effectiveness of tax abatements in the same way one would judge the effectiveness of any economic development strategy, namely by comparing the costs of the abatement with the benefits.

GUILDERLAND Guilderland school district voters passed the proposed $92.13 million budget, along with a separate proposition to purchase seven new buses and a maintenance plow truck for almost $1 million.
Approximately 66 percent of voters on Tuesday, May 20, supported Guilderland Central School District's proposed 2014-15 budget, with 1,735 voting in s and 900 opposed, according to unofficial results. The budget holds a property tax levy increase of 1.94 percent, which is $12,500 below the district's tax cap limit.
Tax rates for Guilderland residents are projected to increase the same as the property tax levy, according to the district.
Superintendent of Schools Marie Wiles could not be reached for comment.
Voter turnout dropped about 150 people compared to last year's budget vote. This year's margin of approval was similar to last year, with about 65 percent in favor. The 2013-14 budget did hold a larger property tax levy increase at 3.39 percent, but was also within the district's tax cap.
Over the past decade, fewer than 3,500 on average annually have cast a ballot, according to the district. This represents less than 15 percent of eligible voters on average actually voting. This year's turnout fell significantly below that average, with approximately 2,635 people voting, according to unofficial results.
There are 33.85 full-time equivalent positions cut in the budget, which include 8.5 FTE classroom and special education positions, 9.15 FTE teaching assistant positions and 16.2 FTE support staff positions districtwide.
School board members did include 5 FTE unassigned teaching positions in the budget, which district administrators have discretion to allocate based on need.
Music Department teachers have lobbied the district administrators to allocate 0.25 FTE from the unassigned teachers, which would nearly restore the budgeted cut of 0.3 FTE. The teachers claim meeting the needs of students would be difficult after the cut.

Extremism disenchanted: what role can education play?
Young people in the UK today who are attracted to extremism are typically well educated. Given the weaknesses of this ideology in terms of its use of history, internal coherence of arguments and moral standards, its success with many educated young people requires explanation. The explanation, according to Dr. Farid, is multifaceted but education has a big role to play in curbing the trend.

How much closer are we to Brexit?
If the British general election was a shock to many in the UK, then it was equally so for the chancelleries across the European Union. As much as they had started to think about a British renegotiation and referendum, there has been a very strong sense that the election result would throw that out of the window. Any such thoughts are now firmly gone. This commentary explores the outcome of the British General Election and the implications for a British in-out EU referendum.

Global Corruption
Laurence Cockcroft: Author of Global Corruption - Money, Power and Ethics in the Modern World.
Corruption is a key issue which relates to economic development, income distribution and the credibility of political institutions. Laurence asked the question: Why is corruption so prevalent after fifteen years of international action, much of which has translated into legislation and regulation at the national level? He responded by analysing the main drivers of corruption and identify the roadblocks to making progress.

Take a look at this video conversation with Stefan Schaefer '89, who made "Even Though the Whole World is Burning", which screens at GMWS on July 15.
Tickets are available here.
This New York Times article, published on May 16, 2015, details how the increasing push towards early academics is well-intentioned, but misguided. Children's potential might actually be hampered in the long run by academic instruction that doesn't match the child's development.
Per the experts, play based learning is the best approach for children under the age of 7 or 8. "Play is often perceived as immature behavior that doesn't achieve anything," says David Whitebread, a psychologist at Cambridge University who has studied the topic for decades. "But it's essential to their development. They need to learn to persevere, to control attention, to control emotions. Kids learn these things through playing."

The Green Meadow robotics team, The PolyGnomes, traveled to the FTC World Championships from April 21-26 and left tied for 5th place, out of 4500 teams. We are so proud of their accomplishments, and grateful to their coaches, math teachers James Madsen and Lisa Krogh!
Here they are, practicing at the tournament:
This piece from The Washington Post is worth reading. Our favorite quote: "I also believe that competence can only be gained through experience; therefore, allowing our children to take risks will actually make them safer. Behind this philosophy is a strong trust in children's abilities in general; I often feel that we don't give children enough credit in this area."

Woody's Woodlot
It is absolutely amazing how spending some real time in the outdoors can bring things into perspective. It is so easy to get caught up in the fast paced, aspiring, social, financial, political, technological aspects of modern life that sometimes we tend to forget that the laws and rhythms of nature pretty much remain the same...and we still are beings of nature, aren't we? I've recently gotten a taste of what I now realize, like so many of us, I was slowly but surely beginning to lose contact with, my instinctual sense of being a part of nature and how much of a blessing that really is.

Of note to me is that you have changed Stephen Strasburg's moniker from "St. Strasburg" to "Ste. Strasburg." I think I speak for all us when I say that he (i.e. Strasburg) has done nothing to deserve having his sainthood revoked by the infamously moustachioed author. In point of fact, it would seem that said pitcher should be heaped with even more praise from said author, perhaps in the form of a royal nickname similar to that bestowed another young pitcher by the name of Felix.
Comment by phoenix2042 — June 8, 2012 @ 10:48 am
His sainthood has not been revoked. The change reflects his new identity as a French woman.
Comment by Well-Beered Englishman — June 8, 2012 @ 11:07 am
I just want to say that, in all seriousness, I look forward to the Daily Notes, especially the game previews, more than anything else, save a sext or something from my wife. Just so you know how much this work is appreciated.
Comment by jaywigley — June 8, 2012 @ 11:30 am
Have to fact check your post. Scheppers IS actually the younger brother of John Danks and in fact is the lost twin of Jordan Danks. There was a mixup at the hospital (as is so often the case nowadays) and Scheppers was taken home by a different couple. Indeed, John Danks is the actual older brother of 13 AAA prospects who are awaiting their call to the majors this year. I hope you do not make the same mistake in future posts.

Conveniently leaving out that HR Scheppers gave up, are we?

Nothing on the un-Game of the Day? Cubs at Twins with a score of 1, 3 points worse than the next worse game.
Also, Rangers offense (10) against Barry Zito (0) has to be the best (or worst) contrast matchup of the day.

Going to see the Nats play the Sox at Fenway tonight, should have a good view of the strike zone too. I'm so excited to see Strasburg pitch first hand.
Comment by Caveman Jones — June 8, 2012 @ 12:42 pm
Wouldn't a player making his MLB debut more properly be said to have been called — not "recalled" — to the major leagues? Perhaps this is a term of art.
As proud of they are of each other, neither John Danks nor Jordan Danks will publicly acknowledge the third brother, Jar-Jar.
Comment by Anna Karina — June 8, 2012 @ 2:12 pm
While I refuse to stand corrected, I will sit or — better — lie supine corrected all day with regard to this, or any other, matter.
Comment by Carson Cistulli — June 8, 2012 @ 2:15 pm
Just curious, but if Wandy Rodriquez, Gavin Floyd, the Astros and the White Sox all have a NERD of 5, how does the game have a NERD of 4?
Doesn't matter to me, I will be forced to watch this game in that I am attending it.

Tigers trainer Kevin Rand checks on Magglio Ordoñez during Saturday's game at Comerica Park.
- Filed Under
The Tigers placed second baseman Carlos Guillen and outfielder Magglio Ordoñez on the 15-day disabled list Sunday after both were injured in Saturday night's game at Comerica Park.
Guillen suffered a strained right calf while running to cover first base, according to athletic trainer Kevin Rand. With the team headed to Tampa today for a four-game series on the artificial turf at Tropicana Field, the Tigers decided to put Guillen on the DL to give him time to heal. Rand said he expected Guillen to resume baseball activities in about a week.

Was looking at stunt scooters for a while before i decided on this one for my 8 yr old. After looking at all the top makes such as razor the storm brand is just as good. My boy loves it, he's had it since christmas 2011 and still goes on it all the time. It definitely helps that he loves orange!
It's a smooth and fast ride and very light ride great for beginners wanting to improve their stunts.
Would definitely recommend storm stunt scooters and www.toyzworld.co.uk.Read moreLess

Original recipe yields 4 servings
Amount per serving ({{servings}} total)
Based on a 2,000 calorie diet
Ready In
I loved this recipe, it is a very hearty soup. I reserved some of the cubed potatoes because I like a chunky soup. I also wanted some more veggies, so I added in some diced carrots and celery....
I followed the recipe exactly as it was written. I really liked it, and my husband loved it! Next time I think I will add more vegetables and hot sauce. All in all, a really good recipe. Thank Y...
This is a great base recipe. I used about 10 oz sweet potato for this, and it was just the right amount of potato. I also subbed yogurt for the cream.

The Washington Wizards entered Sunday's game against Boston with one distinct advantage: the absence of Celtics All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo. By the second half they had another, the absence of All-Star Ray Allen, who injured his ankle after making contact with Jan Vesely.
But after another hard-fought contest, the Wizards lost 100-94. Without Rondo and Allen, it was All-Star Paul Pierce who inflicted the damage, scoring 33 points and adding 10 assists and eight rebounds.
"We tried a lot of different people, tried to run at him and get it out of his hands," coach Flip Saunders said of the Wizards' defense on Pierce.
"When you get a guy with 34 and 10, he's basically involved with 64 of their 100 points directly."
The Wizards had another possibility for a win — to try and set a fast- paced tempo that the Celtics wouldn't be able to maintain. But Boston was able to keep up in transition.
"We were trying to run, and I thought we tried to get out as much as we can," Saunders said. "The tempo of their game is not a high-tempo game. We were pretty efficient overall offensively, except for some of the costly turnovers."
Both teams had 17 turnovers; the Celtics had the edge in assists 22-17, and the Wizards won the rebounding battle 37-35. But the Wizards were severely outplayed at the 3-point line, where the Celtics connected on 5-of-12 (41.7 percent) to the Wizards' woeful 2-for-15 (13.3 percent).
"It was tough," Washington point guard John Wall said. "The last five minutes, we was right there. We got to execute down the stretch and get easier shots. They did a great job of executing. They're a veteran team, and they been in those types of situations a lot."
Wall played one of his best games of the season, with 27 points on 9-of-18 shooting, 10 rebounds, and seven assists. He even took a turn trying to guard Pierce, at his request.
"I just wanted to guard him," Wall said. "It's tough to double-team him because he can just pick you apart, and that's what he did. I think I would have liked to try and guard him straight up. He's he a great player for a reason."
Jordan Crawford tried a different approach, a little trash talk, to the tune of a double technical foul in the third quarter. "You cant back down from nobody, no matter the circumstances," Crawford said.
"I just felt it was needed at the time. But you know, we came away with the loss. So it doesnt matter."
Crawford would not elaborate on exactly what was said. "Nothing. Just letting him know what it was." Whatever "it" was, it's worth noting that the two teams have played three times, and the Celtics have won all three.
"We was trying our best to get the ball out of his hands, but when a superstar wants the ball, theyre going to do things to get it," Nick Young said of Pierce. "We go in there confident, we've just got to find a way to pull it out in the end. We're playing as hard as we can."

This is a great place to meet friends and grab a drink. They have a great selection of local and craft beers. It is an inviting atmosphere with friendly staff.
Jacksonville with Kids
Hiking Cedar Point Preserve
Timucuan Trail at Talbot Island
We went here for our first stop on a Jacksonville brew tour. A review said it was a gastropub, but it is not. Beer selection is good, but after trying all the Engine 15 beers we settled on a good old Cigar City Jai Alai. Guest taps are fabulous!! We had chips and beer queso and the Little Piggy Flatbread....
Great local brewery with an amazing variety of styles - all delicious! Had the " hot sack of nuts" as a quick bite but wish I had more time to sample the menu - looked great! They had 2 large flat screens that described each brew (in house and others) in great detail - impressive!
Engine 15 has a very inviting atmosphere and is decorated with an eclectic array of pictures and items. They offer a vast number of beers each with a description of its' different qualities. I'm not a beer drinker, but my friend enjoyed a sampler of 4 small glasses of different beers. You can order any 4 of the beers on...
Had lunch and a pint with our dog. The bartender was nice and brought the dog h2o. Great beer and yummy food. Beer menu scrolls too fast but cool place.
Been here several times. It's located in a strip mall but has some of the best local brews that you can find. Worth the visit!
You can tell these brewmasters painstakingly spent days and hours not only perfecting their brews but also selecting a diverse and impressive collection to choose from. Old Battle Axe being our favorite of the night. You are only 2.5 hours from Savannah and we will be back soon.
I have visited this smaller venue twice and each time it was a novel surprise of discovery.
The Engine 15 is apart of the growing micro/craft brewing trend that is integrating itself into the greater Jacksonville community and enjoying its support. Centered in a strip mall on the south side of Beach Blvd as one crosses the Inter-coastal bridge, the...
We go here once a week and the food is great and the beer better. Waitstaff is very friendly and attentive - even when its really busy. You can't go wrong here. I'd add more but didn't receive the option of restaurant - just as an attraction, but I guess it could be considered that! :-}

As has been mentioned on many other blogs, the new issue of the Quarterly Conversation is now available online.
Yet another great issue, especially the article by Dan Green on the reissuing of Donald Barthelme's books and the reviews of Bolano's Nazi Literature in the Americas and Antunes's Knowledge of Hell.
What's especially thrilling to me though is the long piece by Marcelo Ballve on Macedonio Fernandez: The Man Who Invented Borges. This a really interesting (and bold) essay and especially interesting since Open Letter will be publishing Macedonio's Museo de la Novela de la Eterna in the Fall of 2009.
This article does a really good job of tracing the relationship between Borges and Macedonio, demonstrating in a convincing way (in my opinion at least) that of all the authors Borges is compared to, Macedonio is really the only one that seems like a just influence. ("Of course Borges claims certain influences—Edgar Allan Poe, R.L. Stevenson, H.G. Wells, etc—but these only get us so far. We read these authors' work and Borges's stories side by side and can't quite fathom what might have triggered the quantum leap represented in stories like "The Aleph," or "Funes the Memorious.")
There are a lot of myths and stories surrounding the mysterious Macedonio—many of which are almost as interesting as his writing itself. Such as the story about how he ran for President (twice!) and his only campaigning was to write "Macedonio" on slips of paper and leave them around town. Macedonio is as unique a name in Argentine politics as Barack is in American, something he thought he could capitalize on. (He couldn't—he lost both times.)
But the books themselves sound absolutely captivating:
His Adriana Buenos Aires was an experiment in parodying defunct novelistic forms handed down from gothic fiction and romanticism, while suggesting possibilities for literature light years beyond sentimentalism. Museo de la Novela de la Eterna, first published in 1967 and impossible to summarize, is best described as an extended experiment in writing an open novel analogous to a piece of music. The prose evokes a dizzying world of aesthetic associations and possibilities in the reader's mind. At every moment it tests the limits between art and life, reality and fiction, as well as form and content.
(It's worth pointing out that Adriana Buenos Aires is subtitled "the last bad novel" to contrast with Museo, which is the "first good novel.")
As time grows nearer, we'll get more information online about Macedonio and his strange book (more than half of which consists of a series of playful prefaces), but this article is a wonderful introduction to his metaphysical (and metafictional) ideas. And influence.
Founded in 1960 by such creative pioneers as George Perec, Raymond Queneau and Italo Calvino, the Oulipo, shorthand for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, came about in when a group of writers and mathematicians sought constraints to find new structures and. . .

The Crimson Thread of Abandon is the first collection of short fiction available in English by the prolific Japanese writer and all-around avant-garde trickster Terayama Shūji, who died in 1983 at the age of 47. This collection would be important. . .

Mahasweta Devi is not only one of the most prolific Bengali authors, but she's also an important activist. In fact, for Devi, the two seem to go together. As you can probably tell from the titles, she writes about women. . .

Count down timer with visual element. See how much time you have left visually, as well as via the count down clock. Great for kids that have trouble dealing with time periods. Great for kids on the autism spectrum. More visual representations coming in future versions. Send suggestions for features to the support team.
3/12/2015Firstly, THANK YOU for making a great visual timer. I need a visual timer to help my autistic son with transitioning from task to task. I would give it 5 stars if we could pick the visual color without changing OS themes, and PLEASE make it play a sound when time is up, and what would bring it to the next level would be to allow us to pin specific timer setups to the start screen, with the custom timer autostarted when opened. For example, a red circle 20 minute timer, or a green rectangle 2 minute timer, so we could have a true ONE touch interface to our favourite timers. I would definitely pay at LEAST $20 for this app if it had those features. I'm sure many therapists would too.
1/22/2015Iove it
2/15/2014I love the format of this app the visualization is great, my main issue is that it doesn't have any sound options. I want to use this with the autistic kids I work with and not having sound creates a problem. I like the vibrate option, it would just be more usable with sound too. Thanks for considering my suggestion/request.
9/3/2013I am a Recreational Therapist and work with many children with Autism. I've tried using other stop clock type apps available for my phone, but they all were missing the visual component. This is great for transitioning skills, prompting and staying on task. The only thing I would suggest would be to add a setting that automatically repeats the set time. But overall great simple to use app.
3/24/2013It's a nice start, but I'd like to be able to use other phone functions while the timer is still counting down in the background, or give my screen a rest, and come back to the visual timer as needed.

MINNEAPOLIS Reggie Deal can tell a lot about baseball by simply listening.As he stood near the batting cage at Target Field prior to Friday's game between the Twins and Blue Jays, Deal could hear how the baseball came off the bat of Minnesota's Trevor Plouffe."The way the ball sounds off the bat, if you're close enough to the plate, sometimes it'll give you an indication if it's a slice like that," Deal said as Plouffe curved one foul down the right field line. "Or if it's real hard hit."Most baseball fans might not pick up on such subtleties, but Reggie Deal is not like most baseball fans. Deal, 39, has been blind since he was a baby. Born prematurely, he was placed in incubator. But an overexposure to oxygen in the incubator caused his retinas to detach from his eyes.Deal hasn't been able to see since then, but that hasn't stopped him from enjoying the fine details of a baseball game. As a matter of fact, Deal is in the middle of a quest to see all 30 major league ballparks in a...

Pixellated Picassos: 9 games that push the boundaries for pixel art
After months of pondering, I still don't know why pixel art is appealing to so many people. Is it the satisfying chunkiness of the images, or perhaps the detail and clever shading?

Historical Traveler Reviews Mercure Windsor Castle Hotel
Nice hotel but avoid the restaurant for dinner.
My partner and I stayed at the Castle Hotel for one night last weekend. I have mixed feelings about the hotel. On arrival the reception staff were very friendly and helpful although we werent shown to our room just pointed in the right direction of two floors up and no lift! Our room (a four poster suite) was large and quite impressive and nicely furnished though it could do with a little more character to it. The bed was very comfortable though the pillows were not unfortunately all in all we were quite pleased. The bathrooms were very luxurious and decorated beautifully.
We booked a dinner, bed and breakfast package direct with the hotel which was quite good value. But after seeing the restaurant you realise why. It has no warmth or ambiance whatsoever. I felt as though I was in a function room. Though the food was good, the choices were extremely limited and the service was mediocre. I certainly would not recommend the restaurant. there are plenty of lovely looking restaurants in town which I would rather visit should I return to Windsor.
After our dinner we enjoyed our coffee's in the bar, the ambiance there was minmal and the drinks were expensive, but service was good.
Breakfast however the following morning really was lovely (served in a different restaurant to dinner). The service was good and the food was impressive and seemed to be never ending! good value at �14.95 should you be on a room only basis. They catered for every need and taste and even supplied diabetic conserves and spreads etc.
All in all I would recommend the hotel but not the restaurant. I would also suggest a four poster room or suite as these were very impressive.
A super Hotel
We moored our boat in Windsor and had booked 3 rooms in May 2005...as it was only a 3 star hotel in very touristy Windsor we weren't expecting that much. However we were all pleaseantly surprised. A super hotel, professional and focussed staff, small but very comfortable and quiet rooms, which is a surprise as it's in the high street right opposite the Castle. A top notch fat boys breakfast blow out in a choice of pleasent dinning rooms was exactly what we needed in the morning. A good choice hotel.
(One of the criticisms of a previous reveiwer stated that its a 3 star hotel pretending to be a 4 star hotel....well, much rather that, than the other way around which is so often the case in this country).
Hotel Has Pretentions Above It's Level
We chose this hotel because of it's central location, onsite parking and restaurant.
It is central and does have parking - but it is a public carpark (albeit with reserved spaces for the Hotel - which makes it obvious the cars are left there). You have to leave your car keys with the parking attendant. Upon collecting the keys no check was made as to who I was - I just pointed to the car and asked for the keys - which was very worrying from a security aspect.
Our room was in the new wing with no lift and stairs from the car park both to the hotel and the rooms - so not suitable if you are infirm or have a lot of luggage (unless you want to try and get a bellboy - but make sure you time it right).
The rooms themselves have had too much crammed into them to try and make the facilities look impressive. There is a small crammed bathroom with very little space for toiletries. There is a case rack in the room but you cannot actually put it up because there is no room with the trouser press in the way (why do hotels insist on this useless contraption?). There is a sofa and coffee table but no light - this is by the single armchair. This with the other furniture makes the room very cramped. There is air conditioning - but we found it impossible to get the temperature comfortable. Noise insulation is non-existant - so be aware of aircraft noise.
Tea making facilities are good including a full sized teapot. Also complimentary mineral water is provided. Room are cleaned properly.
Breakfast is a good selection of both buffet and cooked items. Breakfast was very nicely cooked.
One reason we stayed was for the 2 rosette restaurant. Whilst the food was cooked and presently very well, the quality of the menu and the combination of flavours was not up the this level and was the same each day. Bread was not fresh. The wine selection was reasonable but nothing special. And the wine waitress spilt the wine twice. Also an additional service charge was made for the wine and for coffee afterwards and for any drinks in the bar - the drinks being very expensive to start with. So be aware.
Also be carefull what time you check out . We checked out at 11 am on Sunday - along with at least 30 other rooms! So be prepared for a long wait - particularly if you need a hand with the luggage.
Overall a 3 star hotel trying to be a 4 star - and failing.
Highly recommended
Stayed here on the 30th May for 1 eve. Loved every minute of it, sad to be home. Free parking with CCTV and attendent, friendly staff, clean and tidy. Windsor is a fabulous place albeit getting rather expensive and commercialised. I will stay there again - Loved it.
Convenient to Heathrow
We were recommended to this hotel by our best man as being convenient to Heathrow and indeed it took us less time to drive to Heathrow and drop off our rental car than it took to get from the rental car check-in desk to the Terminal.
We had a room in the newer Annex. The only disadvantage was that there was no lift in this wing which made it difficult to carry the heavy suitcases up the stairway.
The room was clean, comfortable, and we appreciated the sitting area. We really enjoyed the heated towel rack and sparkling bathroom with quality toiletries and fluffy towels. Although we didn't use the tea making facilities, the fact that they were available with quality china was much appreciated.
We spent the afternoon walking around Windsor Castle and very much enjoyed being able to slip across the street to attend Evensong at St. George's Chapel.
We enjoyed a cream tea in the lounge and a superb dinner in the dining room. The service was excellent and gracious, the wine list was varied and had some appreciated older vintages available. The food was excellent and artistically presented. Coffee, tea and desserts were served in the lounge. Overall a much enjoyed and relaxing meal.
Due to our very early departure in the morning, we did not have the opportunity to partake of breakfast.
Pricing was 60 pounds dinner, bed and breakfast per person which was pretty reasonable (it was a Quality Week-end Break rate) considering the excellent dinner. (Wine was an additional expense).
We look forward to returning.
Wouldnt go again
Went here last week for one night B&B - not as luxurious as I thought it would be. Room was clean and tidy but small and overlooked the carpark but bathroom was fine. Breakfast room was a little dirty and doubled up as a cafe for passing peadestrians. Not too bad but very overpriced!
Exquisite Hotel Choice
I had a lovely stay at the Castle Hotel in April of 2004 when my mother and I took a beautiful trip to England. We began our journey with a few nights in the Castle Hotel and I must say that I could not ask for anything more perfect. They attended to every detail from check-in to check-out. The staff was all very courtious and accomidating. The reservation details were just as we had agreed to. The staff showed us to our room, which was ever so sweet. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable and the atmosphere was quite cozy while being so nicely appointed. The weather was just on the nippy side that time of year so it was so nice to return to the nice warm room for our breaks. The bathroom was nicely done with the heated towel racks. The room was complete with blow dryer trouser press, and iron/ironing board. We had lovely tea making facility in our room with nice sitting area to absorb and enjoy the atmosphere. We were also delighted with the Castle Hotel's restaurant. The dining room was beautiful, the menu selection was exquisite,and this was complimented by the lovely presentation of the courses of dinner and the gracious staff. The breakfast room was also lovely with its cheery morning atmosphere and nice breakfast menu selection. The Castle Hotel was within a nice stroll of Windsor's sights and makes a good hub for England travel. The ladies at the reception desk were always quite helpful with directions to different locations and with phoning instructions, etc. I highly recommend the Castle Hotel to anyone making a trip to England. I enjoyed the different places we stayed in England but none surpassed the ambiance of the Castle Hotel.
Fit for a King.
We recently stayed at the hotel, which is located across from the castle. We were given rooms in the new wing (about 25 years old) on the side of the hotel. These rooms are excellent having just been upgraded and fitted with an excellent quiet air conditioning system. The rooms are a little on the small side, but well laid out and away from the street noise.
Breakfast was efficient and tasty. Stop in the lobby for afternoon tee - the Scottish waiter makes this a memourable experience.
The excellent Castle
I recently visited this hotel and stayed in a room overlooking the Castle. A fantastic view and a lovely room. The bathroom was a little small but well furnished.
Car parking is fine but a little frenetic as in most historical locations
The service is first class and the food terrific and would recommend the hotel to anyone considering Windsor as a destination. It is a little over priced.
I am looking forward to visiting again.
False Advertising, Bad Breakfast, Cold Shower, Curt Staff
This is based on 2 nights stay in mid-August 2003.
FALSE ADVERTISING: This hotel belongs to the McDonald chain. When I researched them on the internet and then phoned their central reservations, I was told that I would receive a special summer internet rate for the rooms to include free breakfast and a 30GBP voucher for dinner. When I checked into the hotel, the sales manager said they were not participating in this promotion for the dinner voucher. She and the front desk clerk then glibly went on to comment that there were so many 'offers' being circulated via the internet, newspapers, etc., they couldn't keep up with them and in any case, they weren't honoring them.
I then had to question them if the rate I was quoted, along with the free breakfast, was being honored - and they said yes they were.
Breakfast was the typical McDonald's Hotel Chain Fare - unorganized. We had to practically beg to get a cup of coffee much less any cooked breakfast or toast.
Take an evening shower - they run out of hot water in the morning.
Because of this hotel's proximity to Windsor Castle, I think the hotel stays rather booked. Thus, the hotel staff (besides the elderly lady who works in the bar and cleans up the lobby) is rather curt, unfriendly, and unhelpful.
You would be better off staying somewhere else.
For dinner, go down to the waterfront and try Browns. Lovely casual atmosphere and friendly staff.

Day 6 Cornwell tour last day
... how they felt about a busload of noisy tourists being deposited in this small village on a Sunday morning. We tried to be unobtrusive but the gardens in their yards were beautiful. I must admit my camera did go over the fence to photograph a few. This village has been the movie settings for Harry Potter and pride and prejudice.
Next Windsor. The queens castle here is immense with the village around the perimeter. Armed police were at every gate. So i ...
Anybody home?
We couldn't leave England without a visit to the Queen herself. Her Majesty's Lady in Waiting passed that she was regrettably unable to attend our wedding in 2013. We knew that sending her a late invite was a long shot since we were already on such a short timeframe for the wedding. We drove straight to Windsor and made our way to the castle where the Queen lives. Since her castle ...

... swinging and they needed to further reinforce it.
We walked past the reconstruction of Shakespeare's Globe, but you don't get a very good view of it, and had lunch at a Turkish restaurant nearby.
After lunch - which ended up being about 4pm - we did the 10 minute highlights tour of Tate Modern (we looked through the surrealists gallery). The vague plan was to make our way to the Freemason Temple via a couple of pubs and then head back to the hotel for an ...

Nine state rooms were completely destroyed, more than a hundred suffered extensive damage. Attesting to its stature as one of the ...
