The California Air Resources Board is reminding brokers, forwarders, shippers and receivers that hire motor carriers to transport perishable goods on California highways to re-establish due diligence in their hiring practices with the start of 2014.
That's because Dec. 31 was the deadline for model year 2006 transport refrigeration unit and TRU generator set engines to meet state in-use performance standards. As a result, there may be some noncompliant TRU and TRU generator set engines that cannot legally operate in California.
"Any business entity that hires motor carriers to transport perishable goods on California highways and railways must require the carriers they hire or contract with to only dispatch TRUs or TRU generator sets that comply with the TRU's in-use performance standards," said CARB in an advistory.
CARB's TRU Advisory 13-25 explains what this means for the hiring business entities, such as freight brokers, forwarders, shippers and receivers that hire refrigerated motor carriers. It lists some strategies that a hiring business entity may use to make sure they only hire motor carriers with compliant TRUs.
Also in 2014 CARB plans to check refrigerated carrier drivers for the documentation they are now required to carry. The TRU regulation requires:
The TRU Advisory is available online.
Guidance for brokers, forwarders, shippers, receivers, carriers and drivers for hiring and contracting TRU-carrier transport of perishable goods on California highways and railways is also available online.
For general information about the TRU Regulation, you can visit the TRU website.
If you have questions about compliance or registration you can call the TRU help line at 1-888-878-2826 or 916-327-8737.

"I saw this pattern and thought it would be great to go in my gift tins for my homemade spa sets for Christmas. I started the pattern but kept having trouble with the puff stitch. When I try to pull through the loop the hook gets stuck and pull a strand or two out making it look un-neat. Is there a way to prevent this? Could it be the yarn I am using?"
"I love this pattern for making dishcloths! It is so simple and it's so easy to remember. It makes a great,durable dishcloth. Does anyone tried this pattern with that new yarn that is made for making dishcloths? I think it might be a rayon blend. I'm going to try it next time I need dishcloths."
"This is a great beginner project, it was easy to follow and gave great instruction. I was able to work up several of these for co-workers who thought it was so cute. I am going to make several more for my home for company to use when they come over and have coffee."
"These spiral beaded trees are so pretty! For extra sparkle, I am going to place a battery tea light candle in the center of the spiral. Several of these trees would look great placed within a strand of twinkle or small rice lights on a mantle or table center piece!"
"That's a great idea!"

Craft Ideas Book by Ruth Arleen Estle, Richmond Dale, OH
I use those acid-free top loading plastic pages, which are available in your favorite stores, to keep track of those loose leaflets and directions that I have cut from magazines for various craft projects. They are all neatly tucked away into notebooks, where they stay neat and clean until I use them. What really makes it nice, especially if it is counted cross stitch or crochet directions is that the whole page can be removed and my patterns are protected. To keep track of where this pattern is, I have what I call my where is it page. It is simply a plastic page with a plain piece of paper in it, on which I have written where the project sheet is or if someone has borrowed it, who and where it is and the date on it. You can also make an index for your notebook if you wish.

I have also put my sewing pattern envelopes into a 3 ring binder inside plastic sleeves for organization. I then store the patterns in a gallon zip bag, labeled and organized by number in a file cabinet drawer. That way I don't have a mess of different sized pattern envelopes in a drawer or box. It makes sewing more fun when I can find a pattern easily.

I lost everything in a fire. I made new pattern books from recycled 3 ring binders I found at garage sales, thrift stores. Using acid free sheet protectors, I slide in clippings, photo copies, anything and then organize each book. scrapbooking, crochet, sewing and so forth. each 3 ring has a clear front, so I write or print out a content page listing what is in each binder. Keeps everything clean and neatly organized.

Take control with the versatile AEG HK654200FB 60cm Built-in Induction Hob.
Induction technology means you start cooking as soon as the pan hits the hob, so get straight on with the job.
The clever AutoMax function stops your pan from boiling over by reducing the heat to a pre-selected temperature once it hits boiling point, enabling you to cook with other jobs without worrying.
If you get called away by the phone or a visitor, simply use the Stop & Go mode – just press a button and all the hob zones are reduced to a 'keep warm' setting.
Residual heat indicators warn you when part of the hob is still hot and an auto safety switch off feature turns the hob off if it is left unattended for too long.
Useful info:
Please note: If you choose a delivery only service when purchasing a cooker, you should ensure it is installed by a suitably qualified person, e.g. a gas safe registered or qualified electrician.Colour: Black. AEG helpline: 0800 479 0775.
Product Features
- Sensitive controls for precision cooking
Gives you instant access to the hob's controls and immediate control to select the precise level you need. All at the touch of a finger.
- Exact heat for impeccable results
The induction hobs have sensitive touch controls that take you from cool to hot - and back - immediately, letting you make precise changes to make your dish perfectly delicious. Like when you need intense heat for pan-searing steak. And because such precise heat control means no waste, induction benefits the environment and your energy bills too.
- Intelligent use of power for reduced energy consumption
The Öko Timer enables you to use energy more efficiently by using the hob's residual heat during the last few minutes of the cooking process.
- 'Direktouch' controls
The 'Direktouch' controls allow you direct access to your desired cooking level or simply slide along the scale.
- Front controls
The controls have been placed at the front of the hob to enable quick, safe, easy access.
- Automax function
Automatically reduces heat to preset power level after boiling.
- Stop & Go with keep warm setting
The Stop+Go function reduces all zones to a 'keep warm' setting if cooking is interrupted. Return to cooking, Stop+Go remembers the previously selected setting.
- Minute minder
There'll be no more burnt or wasted food, set the minute minder to remind you which dishes are cooking.
- Extra efficiency use of residual heat
For each heat zone on the hob, the OptiHeat Control tracks the level of residual heat, so you can make the most of your remaining heat and optimize your energy usage.
- Keep in control of your cooking
To enable you to closely monitor the progress of each dish, the hobs CountUp timer starts at zero and keeps counting until you stop or reset it. Read more
- Child safety control lock
To maximize kitchen safety, this lock can be activated to prevent the hob from being turned on accidentally.
- Control lock
This will prevent any alteration or activation of the hob's settings; simply lock the controls once the cooking functions have been selected. It can also be used to lock the hob in the off position for added safety.

Human resource development issues at RACQ Australia
As the workplace changes, RACQ must also change and place more emphasis on the development of its staff members. The identified problems include an increased attention on customers and a decreased attention on employees, a complex working schedule and an increased workload of adjacent services. It is as such recommended for the company to focus more on its employees and seek a balance between customer and staff orientation, to engage the employees in the schedule construction and to differentiate the tasks assigned based on skills.

114.3. Limitations
1. Introduction
The modern day business community is being severely impacted by numerous forces in the micro and macro environments, such as changing roles of the employees, increasing powers of the customers or rapidly evolving technologies. At the level of the employees, these are no longer the force operating the machines, but they are the creators of intellectual capital and the ones which generate customer satisfaction. They as such became the most valuable resources within firms (Hickman, 2005). In such a setting, it becomes more imperative for the firms to place an increased emphasis on their management of the human resources.
1.1. Purpose of the report
The purpose of this current report is that of identifying three organisational issues within RACQ and assessing their implications on the development of the human resources within the firm. These issues would be addressed at the theoretical level, as well as the practical level within the company. Finally, recommendations would be forwarded on how to best approach these issues and further support human resource development.
1.2. Issues
RACQ strives to promote the interests and well-being of motorcyclists in Queensland and they have created a community of 1.2 million members who enjoy a series of financial and non-financial benefits as part of their agreements with the company. The reputation of the firm is powerful and its market position is also stable, yet there are some issues which generate negative impacts upon the development of the staff members. And the decreased development and satisfaction of the employees subsequently translates into poor quality services and low customer satisfaction (Allen and Wilburn, 2002). In such a setting then, it is important to identify and address these issues. They refer to the following:
Increased emphasis on customers, meaning that the business is customer centric
24-hour service provision, translated into the need for the staff members to work around the clock schedules
The provision of adjacent solutions to customers, such as advice and consultancy on legal matters or driver education.
1.3. Research methods
The current project employs the qualitative research method, meaning that it would rely on analyses and observations of situations, rather than statistical computations of numeric figures. The project would utilize both primary and secondary sources of information.
1.4. Significance of the project
The current project has a dual significance, namely a practical one and a theoretical one. At the practical level, the study promotes tailored recommendations for RACQ, based on the specific issues of the company. On the other hand, the study supports the continued support in the research of the modern day complexities of human resource management.
2. Literature review
The literature review section is divided into three different sections, based on the issues identified within RACQ.
2.1. Customer centric business
The modern day society is coming to retrieve more and more of its wealth through the delivery of services, rather than manufacturing, industry or agriculture. In Australia, 71.4 per cent of the gross domestic products is generated by the services sector, and this trend is present at the global level (Central Intelligence Agency, 2012). In such a setting then, in which the material products are less present, the satisfaction of the customers is more important to gain in order to sustain organisational revenues (Hoffman and Bateson).
Evangelos Grigoroudis and Yannis Siskos (2009) point out that more and more modern day companies make customer satisfaction their ongoing business objective and strive to organise all operations based on customer satisfaction. This ongoing emphasis on customer satisfaction is also directly linked to the process of continuous improvement and learning within the economic agents. In such a context then, customer satisfaction has become the most important performance indicator within the economic agents:
"In the recent decades, the importance of customer satisfaction for business organisations has been increased. Thus, customer satisfaction measurement is now considered as the most reliable feedback, taking into account that it provides in an effective, direct, meaningful and objective way the customers' preferences and expectations. In this way, customer satisfaction is a baseline standard of performance and a possible standard of excellence for any business organisation" (Grigoroudis and Siskos, 2009).
Erdener Kaynak and Frederic Jallat (2005) find that the organizational orientation towards the satisfaction of customers is more intense that the orientation towards the satisfaction of the employees. The two authors find that there exists no model of employee and customer orientation, but that both are crucial and that it is up to each economic agent to find the balance between customer orientation and employee orientation.
2.2. Difficult working schedules
It is undisputable that the workplace is changing in the modern day business society (Finkelstein, 2004). One important change in this sense is represented by shifting working schedules. The employees of today, willingly or not, have to work longer hours or difficult schedules. They often do this in the desire to gain more financial rewards and also in the hope of professional advancement. Nevertheless, it is also noted that too many changes in the working schedules or too many hours spent working do generate negative effects on the well-being of the individual, and can even impact the quality of the tasks completed (Bach, 2005).
2.3. Adjacent tasks
As the workplace of the modern day environment changes, the tasks assigned to the staff members also change and evolve. The nature of the change is often that of an increase in the number and complexity of the tasks assigned within the workplace, as a result of developing business demands and operations. Also, as the economic agent comes to develop activities with more stakeholders, the nature of the internal tasks will also grow in complexity. In such a setting, the responsibilities of the employees within the firm increase significantly and the connectivity between these tasks and responsibilities also increases. The staff members are as such expected to perform more tasks and also at increased complexity levels, which make the tasks and the employees more dependent on each other (Arup, 2006).
3. The issues at RACQ
3.1. Customer centric business
In the case of the organisational issue of customer centricity of the business operations, this orientation is adequate within the modern day climate of changing industry trends and increasing role of customers. Nevertheless, the specific problem at RACQ is that the company may not have reached the perfect balance between customer orientation and employee orientation. In other words, the company places too little emphasis on the role played by the organisational staff members in the ultimate attainment of the pre-established objectives. The employees as such reveal negative attitudes towards the employer and this negatively impacts their individual performances as well as the overall working environment.
3.2. Difficult working schedules
Within RACQ, the employees are expected to work in shifts -- including the night shift -- in order to provide 24/7 assistance to the members of the organisation. This program often creates dissatisfactions among the employees, as it interferes with their personal life and plans. The staff members are as such dissatisfied and this subsequently generates negative impacts on the level of involvement and quality of their work. The subsequent issue is that these employee dissatisfactions ultimately decrease the company's ability to satisfy its customers (Robbins, 2009).
3.3. Adjacent tasks
Finally, the last issue to be addressed throughout this project is represented by the fact that the organisation provides a series of adjacent services to its customers. Some examples in this sense include the provision of insurance for automobiles and real estate property, travel service, touring information, legal advice or financial services (Website of RACQ, 2012).
The benefit of these items is that they increase customer satisfaction through the creation of a one stop location where club members can solve virtually any problem related to their vehicles. Still, while this is a favourable application for the customers and the company, the employees feel frustrated…[continue]

text: I'm looking for a 32" but live on the South Cast with poor signal reception (2 amplifiers and 14 element Yagi on the chimney) and no freeview or C5. (I don't want to pay for sky and there is no cable). Given the dire things they do to the signals in places like Comet or Currys are these actually the best places to review sets as they are probably most representative of my home situation. The problem then is a lot of my viewing (but not the wife's) is DVD so that has to be top notchas well. So far Sony sets seem to cope best with bad signals in the stores but a review I read of a 32" gave the Sony lower marks for not coping as well with poor signals. Thus this goes directly against my first hand viewing. Is there something else that affects the signals in the large shops that makes the Sony sets appear better or is it just coincidence ? How well do different manufacturer's cope with low signal strength in the real world ?

WASHINGTON, D.C. – More than 250,000 Americans concerned about the public health impacts of the assaults on the Clean Air Act in Congress have signed a petition to President Barack Obama thanking him for his continued public statements opposing anti-environmental provisions and asking him to continue to stand up to the big polluters and special interests and veto any legislation that includes riders or other language that would roll back clean air protections.
The 72-hour petition drive, organized by seven groups including Energy Action Coalition, Environmental Defense Fund, League of Conservation Voters, National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council, and Sierra Club, was sparked by a letter delivered to the White House last week from twelve environmental leaders that called on the president to veto any legislation that includes riders that would prevent the EPA from moving forward with updated standards to limit air pollution.
With more and more Americans signing the petition each day, next week Power Shift's 10,000 youth activists will deliver the full complement of petitions to the White House as part of their meetings in Washington, DC on April 18th.

Brandon Kintzler will replace Alfredo Figaro on roster
The Brewers told right-hander Alfredo Figaro after their game last night that he would be returning to Class AAA Nashvile to open a roster spot for the return of reliever Brandon Kintzler from the 15-day DL.
Figaro packed his bags and left the clubhouse later but the move won't be official until Kintzler is given the medical OK on Thursday -- a team off day. Kintzler threw a simulated long inning Wednesday and everything went well but the Brewers will hold off making the roster move official until Kintzler checks out OK.
Assuming no issues - and Kintzler said Wednesday he felt fine -- he will be activated and be available for the game Friday night against the Chicago Cubs at Miller Park.
Figaro was called up earlier in the week to replace Rob Wooten after the bullpen was taxed in a 14-inning game Sunday in Pittsburgh. He made one appearance and unfortunately took a loss, allowing a 12th-inning home run Tuesday night by San Diego's Chase Headley. Figaro was working his third inning in that game.

Laterina Vacation Packages
Laterina is situated about 120 miles (193 kilometers) north of the national capital Rome, and approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast of Florence.
Spend time exploring while you are in Laterina. Take a trip to the the Church of Laterina.
Staying in only one place, no matter how popular, will only ever provide you with a limited view into the wider natural and cultural makeup of a region. So allow time to savour Tuscany's other cities, attractions and landscapes. Go to Civitella in Val di Chiana, and discover the Praetorian Palace and Buriano Bridge and Penna Natural Reserve. Civitella in Val di Chiana is roughly 8 miles (13 kilometers) from Laterina and is worth the trip. If you are ready for even more, make your way over to Reggello for the Abbazia di Vallombrosa and Fashion Valley. Reggello is around 15 miles (24 kilometers) from Laterina.
Rent a vehicle and spend half a day in Arezzo, a major city for the region, approximately 8 miles (13 kilometers) away from Laterina. The city has a range of visitor attractions, for example Cathedral of Arezzo, Church of San Domenico and Museo Statale d'Arte Medievale e Moderna. House of Petrarch, Fraternita dei Laici and Fortezza Medicea are also good places to visit.
When it's time to leave, bid a fond Ciao (farewell) to the people you've enjoyed getting to know and the places you've spent time.
Accommodation in Laterina
If you intend to stay in the vicinity of Laterina, consider staying at the Arezzo Park Hotel in Battifolle, which is 6 miles (10 kilometers) from Laterina. Alternatively, reserve accommodation at the Arezzo Park Hotel, which are also within driving distance.

Peak Winery Traffic Times for WOMP Events
Over the years, traffic patterns have developed along the wine trail during our events. We've had a number of guests ask about the "best" times to visit a particular winery, so we gathered information from each to share with you. Please keep in mind that this list of "peak event traffic times" will likely not alleviate too much traffic, but could help with your wait times.
WOMP wineries pride themselves on keeping guest queues moving swiftly, setting up tasting stations for the best traffic flows after years of experience. We thank you for your patience in the event that you must wait momentarily for tastings/pairings.

OpenRailwayMap/Tagging in North America
|This page is still under construction and is incomplete; there is a significant amount of data to cover because of the number of railroads in North America, so please contribute! Proposed tagging structures for OpenRailwayMap may be included in this article for documentation, and will be clearly delineated when present.
The purpose of this page is to provide more specific tagging information for the United States, in addition to tabulating data that can be incorporated into OSM or used as a resource. It is broken down into two main sections. The section "National Overview and General Tagging" gives an introduction and overview to the U.S. portions of the North American railroad network, U.S. railroad standards, and how to tag them. The section "Individual Railroad Overview and Specific Tagging" gives specific railroad-by-railroad information; this includes a short overview of individual railroads, (OSM-relevant) operating/signal rules, and other tagging dependent on specific railroads. In addition, anomalies from railroad standards will be covered throughout this page.

National Overview and General Tagging
Operator and Owner
Distinguishing who operates over trackage, and who owns that trackage is increasingly important in North America; there are a growing number cases of the owner not always being the operator, or the owner not being the only operator.

Collection of infrastructure into named rail relations
Please see OSM Rail Structure in the USA. Briefly stated, most named rail route relations are in single route=railway relations, not what ORM suggests as a paired set of route=tracks + route=railway relations. Furthermore, there is at least one example of a super-relation of route=railway relations. This super-relation structure is useful in the USA for especially lengthy (thousands of kilometers) singly-named routes made up of many named Subdivisions (as route=railway members).
Track Gauge
The standard guage in North America is the international Standard Gauge of 1435mm (4ft 8.5in). This is tagged as gauge=1435.
Route Importance
As railways become more consolidated, terminology for referring to routes emerges towards standardization. The following table suggests values for rail infrastructure elements. Judging by name is not always a proper predictor; reasonable judgement needs to be made. For example, sometimes a (frequently short line) railroad which is really "just" branch rail names significant trackage "XYZ Mainline." This doesn't automatically mean that usage=main is correct when usage=branch would be a better tag applied to track elements.
|Common Names
|Main Line, "XYZ Subdivision," "JKL Transcon" (as in "transcontinental")
Secondary Track
"MNO Branch," Branch Line, Branch Rail
|Industrial Track, "ABC Industrial Line"
Running Track
Factory Spur, Mine Spur, Lumberyard Spur, etc.
|U.S. Government Railway, "Old Garrison Railroad" (for example)
|Historic, Heritage, Tourism Railroads
|Tracks used for testing of new vehicles.
Often, a Main Line is named after a significant city (often with a yard) or other important geographical feature (e.g. a major river) the line passes through or near, suffixed with "Subdivision" (e.g. "Los Angeles Subdivision"). Generally, if a "long" (hundreds of kilometers) active rail segment crosses a state boundary with the same name, it can be tagged usage=main. However, some usage=branch rail does this, so this is not a strict rule. Rail which connects together usage=main via shorter segments, in a web-like fashion, or shorter segments radiating outward in multiple directions from a geographic center is often usage=branch. Again, this seems to be best left to "reasonable judgement," as no perfect system exists to distinguish usage=main from usage=branch in all cases.

Historical Mapping and Tagging
The railroad had a significant impact on how and where cities and towns were settled and developed in North America, in addition to having a significant cultural impact. U.S. railroad mileage peaked at 254,000 miles in 1914; as of 2008, there are approximately 140,000 miles still extant, leaving approximately 114,000 miles of former railroad routes just in the U.S. The majority of these routes still leave lasting remnants on the ground, and leave long-standing geographic marks that can be seen by aerial/satellite imagery. There are also a large number of historical societies and organizations that are dedicated to the history of specific railroads, and many other local organizations that seek to preserve their locality's railroad history. As a result of all of this, there is a lot of historical mapping that can be done with railroads that still adheres to the OSM principle of mapping what exists.

Passenger Rail
See Amtrak for the USA's "national" (federally-subsidized) passenger rail network: largely long distance and regional routes (and international as they cross into Canada), with one high(er)-speed route in the Northeast Corridor (Acela). There are many other kinds of passenger rail at the state, regional and local levels including commuter rail, subways and light rail (often overlapping with the concept of rapid transit), trams, amusement park rail, tourism/heritage rail, urban funiculars and more.
Rapid Transit
Light Rail
is a tag applied to rail elements used as infrastructure, correctly collected together into a route:railway=* relation. There are many such light rail systems as local/metropolitan/regional transportation networks in North America.

Operating Rulebooks
The Northeast Operating Rules Advisory Committee is both a rulebook and the organization that defines said rulebook. NORAC was formed in 1985 to create a common rulebook for the Northeast; operations became more complicated after the creation of Amtrak and Conrail, and after state and municipal agencies took over commuter rail operation and ownership. As such, NORAC has more ways to represent the same signal rule than any other set of operating rules in the United States. NORAC is a speed signalling system, and has the most speed signalling than any other rulebook. Those using NORAC have to use the rulebook in its entirety, with no additional rules.

Federal Data
United States
In the USA, Federal Rail Authority (US FRA) data are a rich and largely untapped public resource that may be utilized by OSM — so let's get the good stuff in!
Private rail corporations may publish geo data and are often authoritative regarding Subdivision names. However take care to respect copyright and adhere to our ODBL.
Provincial/State Data
In North America, rail in the USA is vast, encompassing hundreds of thousands of rail kilometers. In 2007, OSM imported TIGER data, including fairly comprehensive rail data, from the US federal government. These TIGER data may be characterized as "somewhat noisy, though OK" including some minor problems that need to be cleaned up (see WikiProject_United_States_railways#Editing_Railroads_starting_from_TIGER_data). Accordingly, a "divide and conquer" strategy is currently underway at the state level in the USA. California/Railroads is a better-developed (approaching comprehensive) statewide wiki which may be used a template to create new statewide wikis to encourage continuing rail cleanup (from TIGER data) and growth in other states. For a smaller, simpler wiki to use as a template to clone, try Montana/Railroads. Also, please see Amtrak for the USA's passenger rail network which is about 98% complete in OSM at a public_transport:version=1 level. However, for Amtrak, regional and especially local (commuter) passenger rail, much more work is required on both the underlying infrastructure (route=railway elements) as well as route=train elements to achieve a truly complete public_transport:version=2 level.
State Public Utility Commissions (or equivalent) often publish road-rail crossing data, perhaps a spreadsheet with columns to sort. This can aid stitching together named Subdivisions, allowing ORM to display excellent visual feedback of correct infrastructure tags. Also, check for State Department of Transportation Rail Planning reports in your state: these often provide not only comprehensive inventories of any given state's present rail infrastructure, but plans for the near- and medium-term future as well.

To Do List/Editor Notes
- Transfer tagging scheme to page, and developing new values and tags when needed
- List of proposed tags
- Suggested use of such tags, emphasis on minimal tag usage
- Compose tags in a neat and orderly set of tables
- Create short overviews of different railroads, and anything notable to tagging there
- Create signal rule tables to help identify what aspects a signal can display and how to tag this
- Generate JOSM presets for NA ORM, possibly as a fork on github of the DE version
- Collect and define a list of railway terminology for reference
- Create a listing of public domain or openly licensed GIS data and referential materials (maps/other documents/etc)

Medical Error Kills Almost As Many People As Heart Disease
Two doctors believe changing how we report cause of death could help reduce fatalities from medical errors.By Calvin Stovall | May 4, 2016
Doctors from Johns Hopkins, one of the most prestigious medical centers in the world, are trying to lower the number of deaths caused by medical error.
Those medical errors include mistakes in execution — like when surgeons leave tools in patients — and improper diagnosis, planning and treatment.
The researchers argue these errors are responsible for more deaths in the U.S. than any disease except heart disease and cancer. But they also believe there's a solution.

The interior of Stadshuset can be visited with guided tours only. It was not on your group's schedule but I really wished to see it, so I went by myself in the last morning. Although Stadshuset is a busy tourist hotspot with bus and cruise groups in addition to the individuals' tours, and tours move rather fast, you get to see all the important halls and rooms. Most of them are vast enough to provide enough space for two or three groups at once. I do not regret going. It's worth it.
Guided tours are available in Swedish and English. There is no prebooking except for large groups, tickets for individuals are sold on the day itself at the cash desk. Hours and intervals differ depending on the time of year and are subject to change if there are events taking place in Stadshuset. Please check the official website for all details concerning your exact date of visit: http://international.stockholm.se/the-city-hall/tours-of-the-city-hall/
The tours start in the so-called Blue Hall (photo 1 and 2). There is nothing blue in the Blue Hall, though. The walls were actually supposed to be covered in blue tiles but when the architect saw the brick walls in their various shades of colour he liked them so much that he decided to leave them the way they were.
Upstairs you are lead through some representative rooms and corridors into the hall of the city council (photo 3).
The Prince's Gallery (photot 4) was named after Prince Eugen, the painter who created the frescoes on the wall that depict views of Stockholm's various islands.
The most impressive interior is the Golden Hall (photo 5) with its gold mosaics. Simply fantastic. The picture on the front wall shows the Queen of Lake Mälar with the city of Stockholm in her lap. Further pictures show personalities and events from Swedish history. Details of the mosaics in the Golden Hall can be viewed here: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tt/ca56c/

This is an attractive place to visit. While the building itself is not stunning, it is set in a beautiful waterfront location and its grounds are filled with statues. Stockholm City Hall dates from 1923. If you go on a guided tour, it is possible to go up the City Hall's 106 Metre high tower for views.
Stockholm City Hall is located on the island of Kungsholmen. Its grounds look out towards Riddarholmen and Södermalm. The views towards these places are lovely. Stockholm's City Hall is used as the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet.
Stadshuset, the city hall of Stockholm, is an impressive landmark on the northern bank of Riddarfjärden, overlooking the wide open water west of the old town. It is not as old as it tries to appear: The building was begun in 1911 and completed in 1924. Its style is known as "national romantic", a style which is closely related to the arts and crafts movement. It combines elements of historical styles with the technical achievements of the early 20th century. All materials used are Swedish. 8 million bricks were needed for the facades.
The tower is 106 metres high, one metre higher than the one of the city hall in Copenhagen – ah the chauvinism. The three gilded crowns on top refer to the coat of arms of the state.
The facades are rich in details worth a closer look, like several balconies, small gilded statues on the edge of the roof, moon and star and palm leaf on top of the spires. More photos of some details are in this traveligue: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tt/c922e/
Outside the tower, underneath the canopy, there is a kenotaph (symbolic grave) for Birger Jarl, the founder of Stockholm, with a gilded statue of the defunct lying on top of the empty tomb.
The main courtyard and the waterside terrace can be accessed for free. The interior of the city hall can only be visited with guided tours (see separate tip). I recommend joining one to see this remarkable building from inside.
Stockholm's City Hall (Stadshuset) is an imposing red brick building with an inner court and a 100 m tall tower. It was was built between 1911-1923 to the design of architect Ragnar Ostberg. The City Hall is home to the rooms where the Nobel Prize festivities take place.
The City Hall is located at the eastern end of Kungsholmen, which is one of the main islands in Stockholm's city centre. The nearest Metro stops (T-bana) are "T-Centralen" and "Radhuset".
Stockholm City Hall (Swedish: Stockholms stadshus or Stadshuset locally) is the building of the Municipal Council for the City of Stockholm in Sweden. It stands on the eastern tip of Kungsholmen island, next to Riddarfjärden's northern shore and facing the islands of Riddarholmen and Södermalm. It is the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet and one of Stockholm's major tourist attractions.
Usually a very crowded space on a beautiful summer day. You can also go up into the Tower of stadshuset.
The City Hall Tower, which feature's three Crown's, I could see from many places on my walk.
I found out that it is one of the most visited landmarks and each year almost half a million people visit this famous building, often photographing its red-brick facade reflecting into the adjacent calm waterfront.
Unlucky for me, it was an overcast day, with some wind, so no pretty reflection photo's!
The three crowns on the Tower, is the Swedish national coat of arms.
The great Nobel banquet is also held in City Hall. After dinner, Nobel Prize recipients, royalty and guests dance in the Golden Hall, with its 18 million gold mosaic tiles.
Would be worth seeing if you have time.
The City Hall is open to the public through guided tours all year round.
Adults: SEK 60-90....Children (12-17 yrs): SEK 20-40.... Stockholm card ...free
During the same period you can also climb up inside the tower and enjoy a fantastic view over the city. Tours can be canceled with short notice due to events.
The Stockholm City Hall has a solid claim to fame -- it is where the Nobel Prize banquet is held every year. That alone makes it an object of curiosity, but the Blue Hall, where the banquet takes place, is actually one of the plainest rooms in the building. The other sections are extremely interesting and are definitely worth the visit. The City Hall was influenced by many architectural styles, which are reflected in unexpected ways both inside and outside. I have yet to see another building like it.
The City Hall can only be visited on a guided tour. The tours take place ever hour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. most of the year, with increased frequency (every half-hour) during the summer months. The cost is SEK 90 (free with the Stockholm Card). I recommend showing up early in the morning to ask when the next available tour will take place and then taking in the beautiful waterfront views from the City Hall gardens while waiting for the tour to start.
The City Hall tower can also be visited in summer. You must book your visit in advance. While the views from the top of the tower are truly breathtaking, visits are timed closely: if you spend too much time looking at the statues in the tower museum halfway to the top, you won't have much time left for the viewing platform at the top. A visit up the tower costs SEK 40.
Another way to get into the tower is to get married at Stockholm City Hall: the ceremony takes 5 minutes and is offered free of charge to everyone! But this is where the similarities to a Las Vegas-style wedding end: you must book your time at least 6 months in advance, and if you are not a Swedish citizen, make sure to prepare the necessary documents ahead of time (as Canadians, we had to present a proof of absence of impediments to marriage that could only to be delivered by the Canadian embassy).
Stadshuset is where they hold the Nobel Prize banquet and we got to walk down the stair case into the Blue Hall, just like the prize winners do. The Peace prize is presented in Oslo, but the rest are presented in Stockholm: Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and Economics.
You can only visit as part of a guided tour, but no advance booking is required. There are 45-minute tours in English daily at 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 all year round; July and August tours in English are available every 30 minutes between 09.30 and 16.00. You should check in advance of visiting, as there could be cancellations due to events. There are also tours in other languages.
It's well worth a visit alone or with the family.
One afternoon during my Stockholm stay I visited the City Hall where I climbed up 106 m (347 ft) tower for the great views of Stockholm. It was free admittance with my Stockholm Card but it would usually cost 40 SEK (May 2011)
The City Hall designed by Ragnar Ostberg and opened in 1923. The tower has three crown which represents the Swedish national coat of arms. The City Hall houses Stockholm's Municipal Council and a lot of high profile events such as the Nobel banquets are held there. Guided tours are available at certain times through out the year for those who want to look round the City Hall. The tower is open in the summer months for those who want to climb for the views.
The City Hall must be one of the prettier office-buildings in Stockholm, working-space for both politicians and civil-servants. There are lots of art and fantastic objects and furnishings everywhere. I have tended some meetings here, in awesome environment, big, old paintings and carpets and enormous heavy, wooden tables and chairs.
Famous eclectic "National romantic" architecture by Swedish architect-icon Ragnar Östberg (1866-1945). The building was inaugerated in Midsummers-eve 1923. In the work, Östberg was inspired by Palazzo Ducale in Venice and Byzantine style mosaic. Ragnar Östberg has, among other buildings, also drawn The Stockholm Maritime Museum, the school Östra real at Östermalm and the sculptor Carl Eldhs studio-museum in the Bellevue-park.
The City Hall building houses the famous Nobel Banquet in the Blue Hall, which isn´t blue at all, but brick-coloured red (the architect changed plans about the colour after the working-name Blue Hall was established). The impressive Golden Hall is designed by artist Einar Forseth who also made a beautiful gold mosaic+fresco crypt in Högalidskyrkan.
There are daily tours (check out the view from the tower!) at 10:00am and 12:00 noon for individuals with no advance reservation (max 9 participants), sometimes more frequent. For tour-information call+46-8-508 29 058 or +46-8-508 29 059.
For those who want to stroll outdoors, the Stockholm City Hall is an excellent start on a promenade by the water. Just continue on the embankment either towards the city centre, or, my choice, the other way, through a winding path with lots of bridges, cafés and people. From the quay outside the City Hall "Stadshuskajen", you can jump on a steamboat to Drottningholm and other places. Very nice!
The City Hall of Stockholm is one of the most beautiful and well known buildings in the world and the most exclusive ballroom in Stockholm, frequently used for e.g. the yearly Nobel Banquet. Behind the brick walls, several different activities take place.
The City Hall is known for its hospitality, its unique art treasures, magnificent banquettes and an intriguing history attracting close to 400,000 visitors a year.
the stadshuset, (city hall) is a large red brick building in cental stockholm. built in 1923 it is home to the noble prize ceremonies. there are guided tours of the stadshuset or you can go up to the top of the tower for an excellent view of gamla stan and the central city. pictured is the cenotaph of king birger jarl, a 13th century king of sweden.
