In Their Own Words – Imagination
This "In Their Own Words" is by Robin Alvarado, who has two children; her younger son has autism.
My three-year-old son was diagnosed with autism in November, 2009. Since then, he has been enrolled in special education preschool, therapies, etc., He was also classified as high-functioning. I must say my son has really come a long way these past eight months.
Although my six-year-old daughter is still young, and knows that her little brother is different than she is, she still views him as just that – her little brother. She is so compassionate with him, as if she is a little mommy. She loves to take care of him and is such a big helper to me.
She will also force him to play with her and interact with her. Not in a mean way, but in a way where he really has no other choice but to pay attention to her. I'm not sure that she understands why it is so difficult, but she still pushes him. Sometimes it will be overwhelming for him and I have to tell her to give him a minute to calm down, or that he needs a break. But she is so persistent. I'm not certain that she even realizes what she's doing but I believe it is really good for him.
Last week, I was sitting in the living room watching TV and both my son and daughter came in the living room, dressed up in play clothes I have for her. She then introduced them as a prince and princess. I noticed that my son face looked as if he was having fun. He was smiling ear-to-ear. They then went back to her room. A few minutes later, they both walked in pretending they were ninjas. Believe it or not, my son was punching kicking the air, and making sound effects to go with the punches and kicks. He was doing imaginary play. That was huge for me to see. He has never done anything of the sort. EVER!!
I really believe that my daughter forcing him out of his comfort zone is doing him a world of good. If she can get him to participate in imaginary play, what else will she be able to get him to do? Thank God for my daughter.

I'm a 16 year old sister of an 8 year old brother with autism. I know the feeling that little girl has because i never view my brother as different then everyone else, I just view him as my friend and companion. I treat him normally, I talk to him like i would to talk any of my friends, I play with him, & I respect him. Our bond as siblings is perhaps stronger then those of normal sibling.
August 27, 2010 at 10:03 am
My son was also diagnosed in 2009- in may, also high functioning. I love hearing your story about how far along he has come. My son just started his aba therapy and is also doing well. He put a WHOLE puzzle together the other day with no help and I almost cried to see how far he's come in just a week! I share your joy for your son as I do for mine. Remember- our kids are angels. They don't speak because god kissed them extra hard so they can't tell us what heaven is like :)
August 27, 2010 at 10:05 am
My children are triplets – 2 typical girls and one boy with high functioning ASD – I believe that God gave them to me as triplets for a reason and it has been such a blessing. My girls push my son, they force him to play and I believe that his early diagnosis (at age 2) was due in large part to the fact that I had the ability to watch their development and see the differences form between them. In just a few more days I will put all three of them on the school bus for the first time as they head off to kindergarten, I will cry, but I know that they are heading out into the world as a team.
August 27, 2010 at 10:12 am
Wow Robin, it's as if you're reading a story from my life. I share the same experience. I have a 7 year old daughter & 3 year old high functioning autistic son. My daughter nurtures him in so many ways and he learns a great deal from her. There is something that the older sibling can provide that we, as parents, can not. I always say she is his angel. My son started in a special education program as well. I am noticing subtle progess. Early intervention definitely makes one more hopeful and optimistic. Good luck on your journey!
August 27, 2010 at 10:51 am
I have a 3year old daughter diagnosed with moderate to severe Autism, and a 6 1/2year old son who is a lot like your daughter. He's always concerned about his sister and when we came home from one of her appointments my son, Angelus said "I know what I have to do for Faith" I said, "What's that?" His response; "I have to talk to her a lot and play with her a lot or she might get trapped on a land inside her brain." –this is what he's taken away from how we've tried to explain it all to him. What wonderful children we all have.
August 27, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Amy, your story really touched me, my son Alex is 4yrs old and was diagnosed as high functioning last year. Shortly after my son was diagnosed I became pregnant with our second child, I hate to say this but I stressed my entire pregnancy over whether the new baby would be autistic as well, read all the data studies and researched as much as my heart would let me. I have to tell you though Zoe is a god send, she is able to calm Alex with her smile and he is so good around her, he doesn't run or jump around her, but she's now almost 6mths and he will come and sit by us and let her paw at him without pulling away. I can tell he loves his sister and she loves him too, I think that they will only grow closer with time and growth and I thank God everyday for them both.
August 27, 2010 at 7:37 pm
I believe that children learn so much from other children. It changed my 2 step-sons world for the positive when my sons and all there friends treated them just like all the other children, also having 2 big dogs that took thoses 2 boys under thier paws and helped bring them into the mainstream was a true blessing. Local animal shelters have dogs all the time that can help all te time.
August 27, 2010 at 9:47 pm
We have the reverse, Our 5 yr old ASD son has a 2 1/2 yr old sister who is his best therapist. I tried to have some special time for her & took her to a friends t-ball game, I loved watching her be"normal". On the way home she asked if her brother could come next time after talking about it I said we would ask him. The next morning she told him all about the kids the game the playset and said mom said you could go next time. He jumped up said shoe sock go, after 10 times and a calander we finaly got him settled down, next week. They went to go play and my daughter came back told me don't worry mom I'll watch him those kids are my new best friend but he is my old best friend & brother so I love him most.
August 27, 2010 at 10:59 pm
That is a beautiful story- one that I wish was more common.
When my eldest son started regressing my toddler would get very upset asking why his brother can't talk anymore. Despite therapy it got worse and my younger son cried when his brother no longer seemed to recognize him. Now my younger son no longer remembers his brother speaking or playing with him- at all
For many siblings autism is so painful
When christian's gut pain is bad his brother cried. I try to get him out of the room as fast as possible but he asks me all the time why we can't fix the problem.
September 3, 2010 at 8:03 pm
God Bless You and your Family. Your post brought tears to my eyes. I was having a very isolated feeling kind of day today and realized I have so much. We really do, although your son feels the pain of his brother he also must be so compassionate and tolerant towards others. I have two sons too and there are times I feel so bad for my non-autistic son as it does pain him, although I am so grateful he is in his brother's life. Keep up the good work, and know that you're doing a great job!
August 27, 2010 at 11:01 pm
I am 18 years old and I have a 16 year old brother with autism. I just left for college yesterday, and reading this made me very emotional because I truly feel like I have left behind not only my little brother, but my best friend. Just like your daughter, I have always tried to get my brother to interact with me. I always make him say "Hello, Kelly" when I see him, and I was the one to teach him to say "please" and "thank you." Kevin communicates through music a lot by having the person he is interacting with finish the words to a song, and I am a singer, so we share a great bond with our love of music.
I remember dressing up Kevin when we were little just like your daughter does! That's absolutely amazing that he started imaginary play.
I really believe that the bond between special needs children and their "normal" siblings is incredibly strong. It is very hard leaving my brother to go to school, but I am studying to become a special education teacher, so that makes it all worth it. I hope that someday I can start some sort of group for siblings of children with special needs, because I always wanted to meet another kid who was in a similar situation as me.
I know your son and daughter will continue to have a great relationship! God bless you!
August 27, 2010 at 11:24 pm
I am new to this blog, but I am hooked! I have a son that is almost 3 and was diagnosed with Autism about a year ago. We also have a little girl that is almost a year old, I believe she has been so wonderful for our son, pushing him out of his comfort zone like you described. Thank you for sharing!
August 28, 2010 at 9:33 am
I have the opposite situation. My 12 year old son is autistic and my 3 year old daughter is not. Ever since she was born, he has been fascinated with her and has come out of his shell to interact with her. He lets her touch him, HE holds interactions with HER, and has the patience of Job in playing with her. He finally learned all the imaginative play he had missed along with her and all the little songs and games because he wanted to play them with her. The progress he has made in three years has been exponential. I never thought the blessing of our daughter would extend to this area. He is the best big brother ever.
August 28, 2010 at 2:46 pm
It would be great if people didn't have to say "high functioning" all the time. My son is 19 and has been called everything, from severe to high functioning, depending on who's looking at him. It means nothing and it's mean, the way people who don't have dissabilities are mean to people who do.
I need to hear more about people who are not so high functioning. Autism affect speech and socialization. So much of what I read in the Autism Blog is about people who would never be considered Autistic 10 years ago. They have Aspergers if they can talk and others can understand them. This is a problem because if everyone has Autism, or one in 98 people like they talk about here in NJ, and so many are "high functioning", the people like my son are seen as someone who is too Autistic to be accepted into programs, and too difficult to be placed in a home. We should be very careful about including way too many people onto a spectrum that indludes people in desperate need of services for their entire life time, not just until they are in the second grade. Thank you.

Vicky u aren't alone. I am a Mom of a nonverbal severely and medically affected child. My child can do none of the above activities either.
August 30, 2010 at 1:27 pm
Hurrah for your daughter!!!! My daughter is younger than my son. She is 8 and my high functioning son is 10. she is like a mother to him. she tries to calm him down and talk to him. She is the best!!!
September 3, 2010 at 3:41 pm
I always thought that the best therapy is a sibling for a special needs child. When our daughter was born we didn't know our two year old son had autism until a year later. She was his best therapy. She was and is very social and wouldn't let him alone, so he had to participate and use his words. There was this 18 month old going up to her big brother prompting him to "Say…" Now at 16 and she 14, she is the one main person who can get him to laugh and "get out" of his 'negative speak' when he's upset.
September 3, 2010 at 4:06 pm
Don't underestimate your daughter… I suspect she knows EXACTLY what she's doing!
September 3, 2010 at 4:26 pm
I would start my own blog, but I have no idea how, so your was closest to what I am doing. A few parents has gotten together to start a place made just for kids with autism, currently on the site is a story about flying that has help hundreds of kids feel more confident getting on an airplane. Also are easy magic tricks the kids can watch, learn and perform, with all the necessary materisl for FREE. We have been accepted into many autism schools, and we have doctors telling their patients about it. We would like to do the stories in animation, but it costs soo much! Then this month we got into the Pepsi Contest, and if we win, we will have videos out within 3 months.
I need your help, imaginatin is so important, and what we give our kids needs to be safe. We can't win without everybody's support!! This is for the entire country, not just 1 state, and our 3's are not improving. We were ranked at #217 yesterday, today its 235, We can't do this unless people vote!! I am paying for everything myself right now, and I really don't have it, but it helps so many, that I am willing to sacrifice.
Please post, make a blog, tell me how, Just please I ask for u or anyone who read this, their help!! The place to vote is http://www.refresheverything.com/autismhelp2
The websites are: http://www.samfoundationusa.org & http://www.sameasme.com
Please help me, I'm just trying to help, and do the best I can to help, I'd so appreciate anything, anybody can do, I can be reached at email@example.com please anybody who wants to help, contact me. Thank YOU!!!
September 3, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Sorry for all the type o's, misspelling, I'm tying to do so much in such a small window of time!! I try to write everyone from my heart! However, I need to re-read before I send!! Thank U for your understanding!!
September 3, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Awesome! Yes, our little helpers (siblings) really do make a huge difference in their siblings interactions. The other night my son (Seth-7) said, "mom, I calmed Zachary (my other son-5) down when he was getting upset last night before bed." I have a monitor in my room and honestly I fell asleep before them which rarely happens although exhaustion does win at times. I said, "really buddy, you are so good at that!: He said, "yea, you just have to stay calm so he does. I said, yep-you're right!

Kathy Griffin is making no apologies for what the Parents Television Council is calling an obscene, televised antic she attempted with Anderson Cooper on CNN's New Year's Eve Live.
The comedian bent her head down in Anderson's lap, mimicking an oral sex act, after the ball dropped in Times Square. David Letterman asked her about the incident during his late-night talk show Wednesday.
"If you think this is the part where I'm going to apologize, you are sorely mistaken," she said. "I tried, ladies and gays, I tried. For you."
Letterman aired the clip and asked, "Let's say a man on television did that to you. What would your reaction be?"
"If it was Anderson Cooper, myself and every other gay guy and woman, I'd unzip so fast," she replied. "Hands down."
Gas, meet fire.
The president of the Parents Television Council wasted no time Wednesday — well before "Late Night With David Letterman" aired — skewering Griffin for her "increasing contempt for the audience."
Tim Winter continued in a statement, saying, "The onus is now on CNN. Either the network has a policy that allows its on-air talent to fondle a co-anchor's genitals, or it has a policy that forbids such conduct."
No word yet from CNN or Anderson.

PITTSBURG -- Ana Negrete greeted her 7-year-old son with a big smile after he got out of the dentist's chair at a mobile dental clinic.
"His molar won't hurt anymore," Negrete, a Concord resident, said through a Spanish-speaking interpreter after dentist Alida Araica treated Bryan Campos for the severe decay in his baby teeth.
Unlike his mother, Bryan was not smiling, which is not all that surprising after sitting still in the dentist's chair for awhile. Bryan, who was cooperative, also happened to turn 7 years old on the day of his appointment.
Araica works for La Clinica de La Raza, a local nonprofit clinic that is part of public-private partnership using the mobile clinic to provide free dental care to low-income children through age 19 in Contra Costa County. The clinic also visits elementary schools, primarily in the Pittsburg Unified School District, where a majority of the students are low-income.
"The mission is to take the service to where there is the greatest need so we go to low-income schools. That's our target," said Chris Grazzini, program manager for John Muir Community Health Alliance, which provides a driver, program management and coordination for the clinic. One day last week, the mobile clinic was parked in the lot of the Pittsburg Health Center, where Araica saw children from throughout Contra Costa County in need of dental care.
"I would say 99 percent of our patients don't have insurance and don't have the means to go to private dentist," said Araica before attending to another patient, 6-year-old Katia Chavez of Brentwood, who was getting fluoridation treatment after having her teeth cleaned.
Without the clinic, it would be very difficult to find dental care for her children, said Katia's mother, Maricela Chavez, who spoke through a Spanish-speaking interpreter. "I have no insurance," she said.
The mobile clinic is viewed as a stopgap measure to provide dental care to low-income children, which is why the average patient only has about two visits.
One of the program goals is to try and enroll children into the Medi-Cal insurance program to cover their medical bills and help them establish a long-term relationship with a dentist, Grazzini said.
Still, it's not easy to get parents to enroll their children, said Grazzini, adding that an estimated 86 percent of children who have gone to the clinic over the years remained uninsured.
"The child may be eligible, but the parents don't always follow through because of fear of immigration issues," she said. "They don't fill out the paperwork; that's the biggest issue we run into."
The mobile dental clinic was launched in 2004 and is a program of the Dental Collaborative of Contra Costa. The clinic operates at various locations two days a week in West County and two days a week in East County. While many children are referred to the clinic, parents can also request appointments for their children by calling La Clinica de La Raza at 925-431-7103.
In addition to John Muir Community Health Alliance and La Clinica de La Raza, other partners include Lifelong/Brookside Community Health Clinic and the Contra Costa Health Services/Children's Oral Health Program, which provides dental education at 23 elementary schools in the Antioch, Pittsburg and West Contra Costa school districts.
Mobile clinic operations are funded by foundation grants that have come from Ronald McDonald House Charities and Wells Fargo, among others. The van is provided by Ronald McDonald House Charities.
From 2004 through the end of 2011, the mobile clinic has provided dental services for 4,329 children served in 8,483 visits. In addition, the Children's Oral Health Program has provided dental education to 31,865 children and oral health assessments for 28,182 children. Some of these children are referred to the mobile dental clinic, said Nikki Moultrie, program manager of the Children's Oral Health Program.
"The ones we refer are the ones that don't have a dental home, somewhere where a child has established a relationship with a dentist," she said. "These are kids that don't have access to regular care; they are either uninsured or underinsured."

Groom Away the "Ickies" in Your Dog Photos
With your image open in Photoshop, zoom in on the dog's eye region using the Navigator palette.
If your Navigator palette isn't already visible, choose it from the Window menu in the Photoshop toolbar that runs across the top of your program's window. When your Navigator palette is open, look just below the mini image of your photo.
You'll see a percentage next to a slider, which is your Zoom tool. Move it to the right to zoom in. If you need to adjust where the tool zooms, hover your mouse inside the red frame that appears in your mini image. Then you can drag the frame to the position you need.

Use this thread to post your questions from Tobias' recent webcast, "Getting Started with PowerShell" on March 28, 2011.
How can I pass a password not in clear text?
In general, you can't pass clear text passwords - Microsoft consider this a security risk and make it quite difficult. They prefer you use a credential object and create it using New-Credential.
Personally, I find this unhelpful in many cases, and have found a bit of a work around. See my blog post at: http://pshscripts.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-credentialps1.html
Hope this helps,
I need to pass a SQL user account and password in a powershell script. This is hard coded inside the script. If someone opens the script I would like them to see ******** as the password or something like it.
You could try and look at this free tool (which I haven't looked into yet) - it promises to encrypt a script so users would not get to the secrets embedded inside:
And/or you can obfuscate the password which is not 100% safe either but better than clear-text passwords:
Q: How would you determine when a machine was last rebooted?
WMI can provide that information:
get-wmiobject win32_Operatingsystem | Select-Object
To convert the date to a real date, use this approach:
$result = get-wmiobject win32_Operatingsystem
Should you btw be interested in inhouse-training, just drop
me a line for more information… ;-)
Q: can powershell run something locally on a remote server?
do we need to install powershell on the remote server also to run something
locally on that remote server?
Yes it can, use Invoke-Command. This type of remoting
requires PowerShell V2 on both sides. On the server (target) site, remoting
needs to be enabled (Enable-PSRemoting). More info in "Administrators Guide to
PS Remoting" on www.powershell.com.
Q: How can I check the free disk space of multiple
computers? can I use a list (file)?
Use this:
Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk | Select-Object DeviceID,
FreeSpace, Size
Get-WMIObject supports a parameter called –Computername that
you can use to specify one or more computers. You can even read them from a
file like so:
Get-WMIObject Win32_LogicalDisk –computername (Get-Content
Q: how can a poll each pc to get the version of office on
There are actually different paths. If PowerShell remoting
is enabled on the target machines, then you can use Invoke-Command to remotely
execute any PS code you want. You could for example query the registry etc.
Another way would be to use WMI and the Win32_Product class
like so:
Get-WMIObject Win32_Product –Computer xyz
This approach does not require PS on the target machines.
However, this particular WMI class triggers a Windows Installer Reconfigure
which may take some time. Also, the class is an optional component on Windows
Server 2008 I believe.
Q: is there a way of making a variable contain a real time
content, eg in the timestamp example, each time you type $timestamp you get the
exact current time
No. Once you assign a value to a variable, it stays the
same. You can create a function for this, though:
Function Get-Timestamp { Get-Date –format 'yyyyMMddHHmmss' }
This way, each time you call Get-Timestamp, you get the
current timestamp.
Q: can you run scripts against a remote server using
remoting and then process the output or does the whole script have to run on
the remote server?
You can do that. Use Invoke-Command –computername xyz
–filepath c:\localscript.ps1. The script gets transferred to the remote system,
and any results come back to your local system where you can continue to
process them.
A: --unanswered--
Q: How do I get more info about the paid-training for
myself? Thanks.
We are offering training throughout Europe. If you are
located in the US, then you may want to check out Don Jones' training classes.
Q: Thanks a lot for sending me this presentation.
Q: he should have developed a training video for (1) Windows
System Engineer; (2) Exchange Admin. I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
Thanks. I am doing high level trainings regularly for many
mid to large size enterprises in Europe. Creating a training video is a great
idea… ;-)
Q: We're on XP and Server 2003. Is there any reason
NOT to go to PowerShell 2.0?
There is no reason why you should not upgrade. The only
known issues are with old versions of Exchange 2007. If you applied all updates
and service packs then you are safe.

Q: where do we download the Cmdlets that you made.
You can find the download for the network module here:
Q: How much does pwoershell plus cost?
A single user license is USD 199,-. I believe there is a
promotion right now, so please visit www.idera.com
and check out available discounts.
Ok, and I have 3- and 4-day classes, too ;-) however I give classes in Europe only. If you'd like more info, just drop a line at tobias.weltner(AT)email.de

Huebert Fiberboard and Boonville Ready Mix closed out the 2012 season how they started Tuesday in Cal Ripken Minor: with a bang.
While finishing 1-2 in the final-team standings, Boonville Ready Mix defeated Boonville Daily News 11-4 in the nightcap. Meanwhile, in the first game, Huebert Fiberboard blanked McDonald's by a score of 11-0.
Huebert Fiberboard, who finished the season at 15-3 overall, couldn't have asked for a better start against McDonald's by exploding for nine runs in the bottom-half of the first on four walks, three errors and four hits. Reece Lang, who batted twice in the inning, had two singles and a RBI while John Jenkins added a RBI-single and Josh Chrisman with one single.
Huebert Fiberboard never looked back from that point on in the ballgame, adding two more runs in the third on one walk, two errors and a wild pitch.
Reece Lang also picked up the win on the mound for Huebert Fiberboard while Brayden Page took the loss for McDonald's, who closed out the season at 7-11 overall.
Lang pitched the first-two innings and struck out four batters while walking one. Josh Chrisman then came in and pitched one inning in relief and allowed one hit while striking out one. Then, to finish the game, Blake Vaughn pitched one inning and walked two while striking out one batter.
For McDonald's, Page pitched one inning and gave up nine runs on four hits and four walks while striking out one. Then, to finish the game, Colten Collyott pitched two innings in relief and yielded two runs on one hit and three walks while striking out one batter.

Meanwhile, after both teams failed to score in the second inning, Boonville Ready Mix came back and plated two runs in the third on three walks and a single by Carson Campbell. Then, after adding three more runs in the fourth on two walks, three errors and a two-RBI single by Bailey Quint to go up 6-0, Boonville Ready Mix all but made it official by sending five more runs across in the fifth on three walks, two errors and a RBI-double by Aaron Witting to extend the lead to 11-0.
The Boonville Daily News then came back with four runs in the bottom-half of the fifth to avoid the shutout on three walks, a single by Ellis Teter, a RBI-single by Alex Rhode and a two-RBI double by Will Neckerman.
Page 2 of 2 - Cole Meisenheimer picked up the win on the mound for Boonville Ready Mix, who finished the season at 16-2 overall, while Alex Rhode took the loss for Boonville Daily News, who closed out the season at 5-13 overall.

An advocacy group said gay and lesbian students at a south Mississippi school are subjected to bullying and harassment from other pupils and faculty.
The Southern Poverty Law Center sent a letter Thursday to the Moss Point School District on behalf of Destin Holmes.
Holmes is a former student who said she was bullied and humiliated at Magnolia Junior High School.
The school district did not immediately respond to a message Thursday.
Holmes and her family said school administrators did not stop the bullying when she was an eight-grader. They also claim a principal used a gay slur.
Holmes, 16, said she's now being home-schooled.
The SPLC said the school should "implement a plan to comprehensively address the hostile environment" or face a lawsuit.

Real estate slowdown impacts county budget
But overall the county budget is in good shape
Published: Wednesday, April 8, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at 9:29 p.m.
The slowdown in real estate continues to impact Henderson Countys budget.
Through nine months of the current fiscal year, the county has received $1.3 million less in projected revenue from building inspections and the excise stamp tax.
I had not been contemplating (how to make up) almost $1 million from the register of deeds, Board of Commissioners Chairman Bill Moyer said.
Overall, the county budget is in good shape, County Manager Steve Wyatt said. The county reduced the budget by $1 million in expenses late last year when it eliminated several positions and lowered sales tax revenue projections.
When county officials created the budget, they projected they would need to use $2.3 million in reserves to balance it. That amount was lowered to $1.1 million after the budget was revised in March.
At this point, we have not had to draw on the fund balance, Wyatt said.
County Finance Director Carey McLelland said he was uncertain if the reserve funds would be needed before the current fiscal year ends June 30.
Wyatt said the county has been able to keep expenses within budgeted amounts. All areas of the budget were below projections, except for dues and nonprofits, court facilities, economic development and the Criminal Justice Partnership Program.
The dues and nonprofits are paid quarterly, and the McLelland expects that area to meet budget. There were additional capital expenses under court facilities, but that will balance, McLelland said.
The Criminal Justice Partnership Program got an additional grant. The economic development fund increased because of a grant that funded a new cooler at Apple Wedge Packers in Edneyville.
Wyatt said sales tax projections have become a problem for the county. The county is getting inconsistent sales tax revenue and was shorted the amount it was due in August. Wyatt said he has logged a complaint about the problem with the governors office.
I have had concerns about the number and the accuracy month to month, Wyatt said,
A large unknown for the county for the remainder of this year and next is the state. To balance the current years budget, the state took $51,444 in an account that funds schools and $285,599 in lottery money. The state is facing $4.6 billion budget shortfall, according to the North Carolina Justice Centers Budget and Tax Center, and could re-allocate other money that county had anticipated.

In an era dominated by smart mobile devices, security systems also are becoming more intelligent.
They enable customers to use phones, tablets and computers to turn alarms off and on from remote locations, as well as to receive text or other alerts if something is awry in the residence. People can also use their devices to control lights, heating and cooling systems, doors and small appliances.
"The idea is a system that lets you control your entire home environment," said Eric Taylor, a vice president with Pacheco-based Bay Alarm.
David Hood, president of Aptos-based First Alarm, adds that the new systems give consumers "real peace of mind that they are connected to their system from anywhere."
For example, a person might forget to set the alarm before leaving the house. Or maybe he or she set the alarm, but grandma and grandpa are coming over and don't know the password to turn off the alarm.
Now that person can pull out a smartphone or tablet, connect to the alarm system through a secure digital portal, and operate the security network as if at home punching numbers on the alarm box. The systems work with Android- or Apple (AAPL)-based mobile devices, alarm companies say.
Customers of advanced systems also can lock and unlock doors in their homes, as well as perform numerous other tasks.
"Advanced alarm systems let you control lights, thermostats, small appliances," said Sarah Cohn, a spokeswoman for Florida-based ADT. "We continue to add capabilities to our platform. You can look in on your home at any time. You can get text and email notifications."
Security companies also are using the "cloud" and the world's interwoven networks to provide customers with streaming videos of entry points and other key areas of their homes. Once they view the video, they can determine whether the situation warrants action by the police.
Michael Tchong, founder of San Francisco-based Social Revolution, which tracks technology trends, has an advanced alarm system in his residence and describes it as "fantastic."
"You know if you leave the house and you forget to arm the security system, you can use your phone or tablet to click arm or disarm," he said. "It will tell you if you left a door open or a window open."
But Tom Foremski, a San Francisco-based technology analyst and editor of Silicon Valley Watcher, cautions that the desire of people to control more aspects of their lives also means living with less privacy.
"There will be more and more cameras around, more surveillance in general," he said. "You could have video phones in your home. More and more devices are recording our activities."
These new systems typically cost more than a vanilla burglar system that alerts the alarm company and local police about a possible break-in.
ADT says its monthly fees for a standard system range from $30 to $40. The enhanced systems usually cost from $47 to $60.
The alarm companies say they've gone to great lengths to ensure that systems remain secure and hacker free. That's a significant concern since accessibility through mobile devices raises the possibility of more points of entry for digital intruders. People don't want their computers hacked, and they also don't want hackers to invade and control their alarm systems.
That worry is likely to grow as more capabilities are added to home security systems.
"You are seeing the rise of the connected home," Cohn said. "Appliances are talking to each other. This rises to the level of what people want from their mobile, connected lifestyles."
"Advanced security systems are the fastest growing segment that Bay Alarm has ever seen in this part of our business," said Taylor of Bay Alarm. "People really appreciate these technologies."
ADT and First Alarm say sales of the advanced systems are hot for their companies as well.
"These technologies are the ultimate convenience," Tchong said. "They are going to become prevalent."

Here is a familiar list for readers: vanilla kernel, custom kernel, debs, rpms, Tgzs, source files, Apt-get,Emerge, Yum, Urpmi, Synaptic, Kpackage, Adept, Kyum, Yumex, Smart, Klik and Autopackage. I could go on but you get the idea.
Every user of GNU/Linux knows the mantra that everthing is a file but they also know that it promotes itself under the banner that it is all about choice and therefore power and flexibility. That is true and it is what attracts so many of us to use GNU/Linux in addition to the political freedoms guaranteed by its open source nature and the specifics of the GPL (whichever version you support).
Loose in the Candy store
Choice, power and freedom: it's quite a heady brew and sometimes it precipitates a veritable chain reaction of events. Distros fork as people have "political" disagreements, new file systems evolve, new package managers ( command line and GUI) come out. Sometimes, the rate of change can be dizzying and the end-user is left reeling from the sheer muliplicity of choice available. Choice implies knowledge and as the choice expands the learning curve seems to become vertical which can tend to put off some newcomers. You can sometimes feel like a starry-eyed child in a shop where all sweets are free. There is always a danger that you might starve to death for want of knowing where to start.
Fragmentation has, perhaps, some negative connotations. It suggests things falling apart, the centre unable to hold like some Yeatsian falcon flying off at a tangent, but of course in Linuxland fragmentation is another name for freedom and choice. It means that any individual or group is free to develop their distro their way. This is very empowering as you can basically cherrypick you components. It can be compared to the difference between buying a suit off the peg and purchasing a bespoke item - the latter will be specifically tailored to your dimensions. In computer terms you have built your PC and ignored that shiny new model in the shop any anyway you will get exactly what you paid for. Why pay expensively for that top of the range graphics card when you don't play games and all you want is to surf, e-mail and do the odd spreadsheet or word processor document?
Where there's a will
On the software side, if a large corporation has its programming locked down in a proprietary format it can and does make decisions which affect you as the end user, up to and including being in control of the release cycle for updates and new products as well as decisions to discontinue support for legacy systems. In GNU/Linux, if you have the will, determination and technical know how you can decide to maintain that legacy system individually or in consort with others. That kind of fragmentation is clearly a good thing for it allows individuals to exercise a modicum of control over their own computing experience and retain features of an operating system which they like and use. Additionally, fragmentation can also reflect people developing or extending concepts, programs and ideas to meet new challenges. To take just one example: the Live CD.
When Klaus Knopper developed his Live CD he could not have imagined how others would take it up and run with it. Many use it to showcase GNU/Linux to newcomers, others are dissatisfied with the lack of certain features they want - a kernel module, support for a particular graphics card, better package management, faster boot times and the ability to run on different computer platforms to name a few. The live CD has been a boon to those who were wary of installing to the hard drive for fear of wiping another operating system. In response, a live cd can be used to test for hardware compatibility prior to a full install and now of course it is possible to to do the testing first and if you like what you see to proceed to a full install from within a running live environment. Entire live distros have been built to cater for security, file repair and rescue, clusters, multimedia graphics etc.
The Bad News?
The downside to all of this is of course the dreaded phrase "steep learning curve". It is one of the most common complaints you will hear from those who are reluctant to adopt GNU/Linux and they will invariably invoke the bogeyman of fragmentation as irrefutable proof. However, a closer look at this familiar objection reveals that it it more of an issue for businesses adopting it than it is for private individuals. This is a fair point as the requirements of a business will differ markedly from yours or mine. A business will be looking for continuity, reliable upgrade cycles, technical support and all the things that users of closed source, commercial, proprietary operating systems would expect - and there are many enterprise versions of GNU/Linux which render such support and do it well; Suse (sorry, Microvell), Redhat and Mandriva to mention a few.
The Good News
For the individual user of GNU/Linux these things are not unimiportant but they are not necessarily critical deal breakers. Unlike a business, you or I can behave like promiscuous distro tarts and change our loyalties more frequently than Winston Churchill changed parties. Indeed, for many, this is precisely the attraction - the novelty of trying out new distros, new features that someone has included in the latest live version which was either not available in the distro or in the package repository. Take a specific example of the bewildering choice. You have a hard disk install of say, Mepis Linux (Ok, I'm writing this on it!). and you fire up, say, Synaptic (or Kpackage or Adept or ......) and you do a quick Apt-get update in anticipation of installing that killer piece of software you have promised yourself.
Horror! It isn't available. If it is, you discover that it has a series of unmet (or unmeetable) dependencies. Against your better judgement you force it to install. Disaster. It either doesn't work or it generates system instability so you unistall it and go off on a search on the internet for a third party rpm or deb or whatever is the flavour of your distro. That doesn't work either. Dependency hell. Hmmm..... You have a think and change strategy. Of course, why make life difficult for yourself! Give it the old three card trick and install from source but using make, configure and make install method, freeing you from the dependence (no pun intended) on package developers but you then discover that every version of GNU/Linux does not install by default all the development packages which installation from source requires. So, off you go and install them one by one to meet each error message. You've done it at last. The application has installed and it is working beautifully.
Being perverse you decide to remove it and reinstall just to prove to yourself that it was no fluke and claim bragging rights on Linux Street. Oops! It was a source install and there is no rpm or deb to unistall via your chosen package manager. Should have installed Checkinstall and substituted that command at the make install stage. That would have created a binary package that would be registered in the database and could have been uninstalled easily by the familiar package manager instead of hunting for the developers' uninstall config. files.
However, you aren't too technically minded and you just don't fancy all that faffing about on the command line but the "fragmentation" of GNU/Linux gives you several more options. If Oranges aren't the only fruit then rpm and Apt-get are not the only package managers. If you are using Gentoo you have Emerge for installation and it would keep a configuration tweaker happy to the crack of doom but its relative complexity puts you off. Enter SMART.
For once it's not yet another Linux recursive acronym. It means just what it says. Its developers claim that it uses a very smart algorithm which is superior when solving dependencies and using the best, weighted, optimal solutions. They claim that what fails to install under Apt-get, say, will install under SMART. If even SMART should fail you could always go for an off the shelf solution - KLIK. For example, I could not install Democracyplayer by any of the conventional routes but KLIK did the business. It not only worked but left my file system intact and could be painlessly removed by simply dragging the desktop icon onto the trash icon and you can of course save to an external, removable medium and use it on other systems. Mileage will vary of course but it does represent yet another weapon in the installer's armoury.
An Embarrassment of Riches
There are four more solutions: Autopackage (which, once you have installed the first package, is as near as you are likely to get to a Windows-style install) but the range of available packages is small compared to the repositories for Rpm and Debian distros. Debian fans used to joke that Apt-Get was what RPM wanted to be when it grew up and it was subsequently ported to RPM distibutions as was YUM which is used in Fedora but was ported from Yellow Dog Linux. Alien too is an ideal solution if you want to do a binary install but cannot find one suitable for your distribution. On the command line you can convert one binary package format to another format (deb to rpm and vica versa). Then there is CNR (click and run) from those nice people whom brought you Lindows, aka Linspire and latterly Freespire. The package management system is CNR which, if I understand it correctly, is like SMART and acts as a meta-manager. It has not been released yet (2nd quarter of this year if you are interested) but when it is it is planned to support the following versions of GNU/Linux: Debian, Fedora, Freespire, Linspire, OpenSuse and Ubuntu with support for other versions planned for 2008.
It looks extremely interesting and it will be an enormous achievement if it turns out to be the Rosetta Stone of package management. I'm certainly going to try it out when it becomes available and test it to destruction. Doubtless, for command-line purists it will bring out the hives but if the Gordian knot of fragmentation is to be cut and mass uptake of GNU/Linux is to happen then this sort of development is crucial. It does not need to replace existing package managers or deprecate command line tools (which I love) but if it draws in the Windows techno-phobes and answers their objections then perhaps Bill and Steve should start to feel uncomfortable.
All's Well That Ends Well
Finally, although Windows dominates the desktop this is not always necessarily a bad thing. When professional phishers and bored script kiddies are targetting networked computers the sheer preponderance of Windows machines and their lamentable security record ensure relatively easy picking for the hacker. As if to add insult to injury most will be using Internet Explorer and Outlook. If a hacker has to program a malicious script he or she knows that it can catch most users as they will most likely be using these programs. Over at Planet Linux the hacker will have to design for numerous e-mail clients - Sylpheed, Pine, Kmail, Evolution and Thunderbird - and for numerous browsers - Dillo, Firefox, Seamonkey, Epiphany, Flock, Konqueror, Links, Lynx, Galeon and Opera (Ok, Opera and Firefox and Flock are available for Windows) I think that there is an acceptable degree of fragmentation, for in it, paradoxically, lies our best protection. The trick is to expand the base without endangering those aspects of GNU/Linux which attracted us to it in the first place.
This symbiotic balance is at the core of the efforts to spread this operating system without diluting its power or security. Fragmentation may well be the ghost at the banquet, the price to be paid for freedom and empowerment but if badly handled it might inhibit private and enterprise uptake. As for me all I can say is that I love GNU/Linux . Hell, why don't I just come out and admit it? If I was a woman, I'd marry it and have all its babies!
Multiple options for better solutions
It's the Darwinian approach. How will you get the best solution if you do not explore? Fragmentation? No, it's GPLed, so there's reuse. It is vital for innovation. Alternatives routes also become a remedy to dead ends (e.g. Mac OS 9, Windows 2003).
I think it depends.
I'll respond the the very general question of "Does fragmentation help or hurt?"
My personal opinion is that fragmentation does in fact hurt GNU/Linux. But this is less an issue of the various overlapping applications or utilities, but the fragmented reasoning behind things.
I'm a GNU/Linux user for the sole purpose of Freedom. The fact that GNU/Linux is more secure, more stable and less popular are wonderful side effects, but they mean little in why I began (and continue) to use it.
So when I see people "sell" GNU/Linux to Windows users on the basis of the security, or the speed, and totally neglect the aspects of Freedom, a small part of me dies. What's even worse is when hardened GNU/Linux users don't care about Freedom.
That said, the fact that people don't value the same things endangers why I use GNU/Linux. There are, however, people out there who want Linux adopted mainstream at all costs; they'd likely say that the split views helps Linux.
Who's right? When that question has an answer, this article will have a conclusion.
Installing apps is not that hard -- really!
I think the idea that installing software on GNU/Linux is overstated. The real issue is that *nixers have access to much more software, and at much earlier stages of development, than the folks using proprietary systems. Any of the top ten or twenty distros will provide near child-proof access to mature mainstream applications. If you can get root user status, that's about the hardest part of installing OpenOffice, Firefox, Gnumeric, Emacs, xpdf, Amarok, Gimp, Inkscape, Abiword etc.
You don't run into problems until you start looking at less polished programs, stuff that either serves a niche too small or technical to merit deb-ification, or else it isn't far enough along in development to be released to non-technical users. This is software that *should* be hard to install. If it were easy, then you'd get a lot of unhappy users without the skills to understand what went wrong or contribute bugs back to the developers. By the time the software is ready, they won't want anything to do with it.
The real difference between installing software in the *nix world and the MS world is not that it's hard for us and easy for them. The real difference is that the common stuff is easy in both worlds, but while cutting-edge software can be difficult to install in GNU/Linux, it is impossible to install in Windows, because it is simply not available.
Choice is what it's about
Having a choice is one of the foundation pillars of Capitalism. Saying the Linux market is "fragmented", with too many distros to choose from, is like saying the car market is "fragmented", with too many models to choose from.
The closed-source software market consolidated down to a small handful of suppliers simply because economies of scale--closed-source software being very expensive to develop, but very cheap to distribute--leads to a winner-takes-all situation where everybody apart from the number-one player eventually goes out of business. There are no such constraints in open source, because by spreading the development cost by being able to freely copy other people's work, it actually becomes feasible to customize your product for very small market niches.
Thus, the situation today, with over 350 active Linux distros, is never going to "consolidate". For every one which goes defunct, two others will spring up in its place.
Welcome to the land of choice.

Just like any other complex activity
the user should hire a free software professional
longer version
Choosing what software to use and learning how to use the software is just like participating in any other complex activity, it requires an investment if something needs to be done.
The analogy I'll be using is law. Nobody is born with the ability to understand all that is required to handle legal procedures. If a layperson is faced with a legal issue she has a number of choices to deal with it. She can choose to ignore it and get nothing done, she can invest her time and effort into studying the related field, she can get legal advice and/or support from people that aren't relevant to the field (not a good idea), or she can invest her time and money and get legal counsel from a relevant professional.
The same is true with software (free or non-free). The user can choose to do nothing (and get nothing), can choose to invest some time and effort to study what is available, can choose to study software design/computer science to design and code the required app, can get advice and/or support from a friend or can hire the services of an industry professional.
It doesn't matter what the user chooses to do to obtain what is desired, a price needs to be paid if something is to be done. The price is often costly and requires various amounts of investments in time, effort and money.
The problem is, people often blind to the long term advantages of the freedoms they inherit with free software and to the user subjugating nature of non-free software. The overwhelming majority of people I know would rather invest into the convenience of non-Free software over investing to the overall superior investment of Free software.
Basically, if the user doesn't know which free software to use, she should get some advice from a knowledgeable friend or pay for a free software professional. If the user doesn't know how to operate a free program well enough, she should get some advice from a knowledgeable friend or hire free software professional. If the user finds her Free program is inadequate, she should she should enlist help from a knowledgeable friend or hire a free software professional.
The price of freedom
Your points are incisive, and I can agree with the basic concepts. The problem (for me and many users), is that we often don't know what we're getting into with this whole Linux thing. I am and have been an MS user for several years now. While I hate Microsoft and their ilk, I have to give them props for making the system relatively easy to use.
The problem isn't just about fragmentation. Most us are people who are either limited in our time, our income, and so we may not have the personal resources available to study each and every single application, let alone all of these distros. From an average user's stand point, it should not be difficult to invest in a new app. I don't need tailor made software, just software that installs without having to track down all of these packages that I don't know about or understand.
I agree, freedom has its price, and there does need to be some sort of investment. But consider this: I tried several Linux distros. I was only able to figure out how to even get one of them to boot, much less to install later on. Then, I tried to add a few applications to add to my productivity. It was a royal nightmare. After an intial investment of a full week spent in research, tracking down fixes or work arounds for the various problems that I had, I became frustrated, and dumped the entire thing altogether, and went back to Windows.
In contrast, it took me less than a day to get going with Windows. In less than three days, I was going full speed, the worst of the so-called learning curve over and done with.
I agree with the author... things do need to be made a bit easier. I shouldn't have to seek advice or professional help for something that I can already do with ease on a similar system.
I'm willing to invest, but only up to a certain point.
Difficulty in Installing Linux -Reply to Anonymous Coward
I'm sorry that you are experiencing such difficulty installing Linux and even getting it to boot.
You do not say what your hardware specification was or what version of Linux you were trying to install. I have an IQ lower than my shoe size and I can assure you that even I could install it. Maybe I just have the devils' own luck but I have rarely failed with an install and I have installed all the major and some of the smaller distros on an assortment of new and old desktops and two laptops.
I started Linux back when Redhat 9 was just out and that was the first distro I installed. In that time it has come a very long way and installation has become relatively easy with intuitive graphical user interfaces and installs from running live CDs. For ease of installation why not try either Ubuntu (any flavour) or debian-based distros like Mepis. Both have live versions to sample, test hardware and install if you like.
The big mainstream distros like Fedora, Mandriva, Suse etc are very user friendly indeed and should not require geek-level skills. Even Gentoo is now kind to relative newcomers. If I was to recommend a version of Linux that should run on most PC architectures I would say that you should give Ubuntu a try, not only for ease of installation but because, once installed, you would have access to almost 20,000 packages via the repositories! If you don't like using Apt-Get on the command line the user-friendly GUI, Synaptic, will ensure easy install of software with all dependencies taken care of.
(p>Believe me, once you have it installed and downloaded a few programmes you will not look back. Honestly. I'm sorry that I cannot be more specific as you have not indicated the exact nature of your problems getting Linux to boot/install but I can assure that if I can get it up and running anyone can do it too.

Hindrance indeed
Hindrance as a user -
which distro to choose?
Can XYZ distro detect all my hardware ?
When will the setup finally complete with all hardware working and basic software in place ?
With Windows, setup completes in 2-3 hours with all drivers and functionality.
Hindrance as a programmer -
which library to choose - GTK/QT ?
which lang to go for GNU advocates C, but I like C++ etc?
There are sooo many IDE's all lacking same features but marketing something unique to them ? Codeblocks, Eclipse, KDE, commandline, Anjuta etc.
After endless evaluation of IDE, I put feature list and their status on wikipedia.
Surprise ! Microsoft Visual Studio came out to be the winner in list of C++ IDE.
Somebody talked about 'reuse', but how many people can/do read others code ?
People can't read others code so easily, they start their own version.
Criticism is easy and consolidation is difficult.
Nobody improves only forks/ creates fresh. Finally making same feature-incomplete, difficult to use software, with unique combination of {language + library}.

Business & Entrepreneurship
New research indicates that women are leaving the corporate world at twice the rate of men. Many of these women are choosing to go into business for themselves. The Center for Women's Business Research estimates that there are about 10.1 million privately-held women-owned firms in the United States, accounting for two out of every five businesses in the country. These firms generate $1.9 trillion in annual sales and employ 13 million people nationwide. In 1994, legislation was passed requiring the federal government to award a minimum of 5 percent of its contracts to women-owned businesses, a target that has never been met. There are currently no incentives, government departments or agencies tasked with enforcement and no consequences for failing to meet designated targets. Researchers in our network are working to improve guidelines and compliance to benefit women-run businesses.

The Grand Design Sep 17 2010
Stephen Hawking's new book is out: The Grand Design, sequel to A Brief History of Time written with Leonard Mlodinow.
In The Grand Design we explain why, according to quantum theory, the cosmos does not have just a single existence, or history, but rather that every possible history of the universe exists simultaneously. We question the conventional concept of reality, posing instead a "model-dependent" theory of reality. We discuss how the laws of our particular universe are extraordinarily finely tuned so as to allow for our existence, and show why quantum theory predicts the multiverse--the idea that ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature. And we assess M-Theory, an explanation of the laws governing the multiverse, and the only viable candidate for a complete "theory of everything."

Special to The Times
ST. MARYS, W.Va. - St. Marys was in mid-season form in its season opener.
Friday afternoon at Dave Wilson Field, St. Marys received a solid start from left-handed sophomore pitcher Michael Stout and an even more impressive outing in relief from junior Tyler Davis as the host Blue Devils defeated previously-unbeaten Williamstown 8-3.
Stout struck out 11 in 4 2/3 innings of work, while Davis retired the final seven batters he faced while picking up the save.
"It's a good thing I had my reliever come in here and help me out a little bit," Stout said. "Plus, we got some runs on the board."

Next game: Calhoun County at Williamstown (DH), noon, today; St. Marys at Roane County, noon, today
St. Marys didn't waste any time putting its offense into motion, scoring three runs in the first and second innings and then an additional two in the third inning.
Supplying the firepower for the Blue Devils (1-0) was junior Jarrod Lough, who went 3-for-3 at the plate with a home run and four runs batted in. His blast over the left-field fence with one on and one out in the bottom of the second inning occurred one pitch after he swung and missed on a fastball above the letters.
"It felt great coming off the bat," Lough said. "The first pitch I swung at during that at-bat just got me mad, and the next thing I know, the next pitch is going over the fence.
"He threw me either a fastball or a change-up, high and inside, and I jumped on it."
Also enjoying multiple-hit games for the Blue Devils were Aaron Tice (2-for-2 with two runs scored), Matt House (2-for-4, double and two runs scored) and Johnny Riggs (2-for-3, 3 RBIs).
St. Marys quieted a Williamstown attack, which had averaged 12 1/2 runs in its first two games of the season. The Yellowjackets, who slipped to 2-1, play host to Calhoun County in a doubleheader today beginning at noon.
Williamstown starting pitcher Jake Tracewell took the loss after surrendering three runs and four walks in just two-thirds of an inning of work.
"St. Marys just pitched well," Williamstown head coach Terry Smith said. "You have to tip your cap to them. Of course, they scored runs, so they did everything well."
St. Marys opened the scoring when Houser singled home Robbie Harper with one out in the first inning. Two batters later and with runners standing on second and third with two outs, Riggs went opposite field and found an opening just beyond first base for a two-run single.
In the second inning, Houser doubled following Lough's two-run homer and scored on Riggs' two-out single.
Williamstown broke the shutout bid in the top of the third inning when Eli Gray's single past a diving shortstop brought home Tracewell from third base.
Lough's two-run single in the bottom half of the frame extended the St. Marys advantage to 8-1 before Williamstown came up with two unearned runs in the fifth. Davis entered the game with bases loaded and two outs in the fifth. The first batter he faced reached on an infield error, but Davis retired the next seven batters, including three on strikeouts. "My arm is feeling great this year," Davis said. "I took a summer off from Legion baseball to get my arm ready, throw the heat and get it done."

Very nice, spacious flat. Bit show the age but still is nice to spend time in. Perfect ever for 8 people. Cozy and greatly located (not so for to Underground, really close to bus stops). All needed is in walking distance - supermarket, pubs, restaurants, bakery. Very friendly and completely helpful host Snezana.
We had a very good time in London when we stayed in Queens Park for Three nights. Our host, Snezana, took very good care of us. She came to collect us at the station (8 persons), because of bad weather. The flat was Clean and fresh with a Beautiful balcony where we could sit and talk in the evenings. Queens Park had restaurants, foodstores and good Communications so it was easy to live there. We came to see the Carneval in Notting Hill and there was no problem to walk between the home and the carneval. I warmly recommend the Place, the flat ond the host, Snezana for everyone who wants to rent a flat during the stay in London.
Mona Wängelin with 7 friends.
bellissima zona l'appartamento davvero bello e ospitale la proprietaria gentile e disponibile quartiere tranquillo in zona 2 ben servito 5 minuti dalla metro
Appartamento ben pulito e arioso lo consiglio sicuramente
Buena atención de la propiedad.Nos espero en la llegada aunque era muy tarde y tambien nos despidio.La Casa estaba bien en general.La presion del agua en el baño era algo escasa, pero la Casa era acogedora .
The flat has a wonderful location, situated directly next a tube station and all the shops you need a well as a lot of good restaurants and cafés.
The flat is tidy and clean and very well equipped. We stayed there with our 3 children and we all found it perfect.
Exceptional apartment and a great, nice and accomodating host (organised the additional sofa bed within the hour!).
Our original apartment was cancelled one day before the trip and Wimdu organized us this apartment within two hours in the evening! Thanks Martha and Snezana!
Everything worked out for the best. Snezana welcomed us to her great apartment. Everything was brand new, extremly clean and beautifully done. We enjoyed our 10 days immensly.
We were 5 adults and 2 children staying at Snezana apartment for 4 nights and highly recommend it. We had a great stay! The apartment is big, very new, clean and warm and Snezane made sure everything was in order and nothing missing (we even found fresh flowers and a bottle of wine). Very convenient situation by the underground and close to shops, pub and a great bakery. We will repeat for sure!
Very nice unit, comfortablly sleeps 5 adults. Good location, 5 minute walk to Queens Park Tube station about a 20 minute ride to downtown. Situated in a nice little community with a number of pubs, restaurants, coffee shops etc close buy. Great farmers market on Sundays about 3 blocks away. Would rent again without hesitation.
We had a nice stay at Snezana's place. The flat is very nice, and Snezana was a nice and helpful landlady. It is located just a few minutes walk from the nearest underground station, Queens's Park, which was very practical.
