Location, next to the gate of Yosemite. Staff was friendly and helpful. Upon arrival the rooms were clean. Quality of maid service. Dishes were not clean. Did nothing much more than make beds and replace towels. Lock was loose and hard to open. They only provided one key because they were booked full and did not have enough key blanks.
Great location. Rooms have a small fridge with freezer, two burner stove, toaster, coffee maker, dishes and some pots and pans. Large rooms and large balcony. We had a "mountain view" which was cheaper and looked towards the river, but with a parking lot and pool in between, but still lots of mountain to be seen! Heat pump fan could not be set to stay on all the time so it woke us up over and over again throughout the night. Room became far too warm to sleep if we turned it off. Carpets, walls, bathroom grout, etc. need scrubbing, but counters, sheets etc seemed clean.
Kitchenette was nice.
Pretty locations and easy access to Yosemite. Rooms are well appointed to make food. Liked large sitting room outside bedroom. Carpet could use cleaning.
Location Very old sheets, old Capet old everything
The location is the best for exploring Yosemite, about 10 minutes from the valley. We have had good experiences with this property in the past. This is the second time in a row we have been stuck in the front building next to the highway instead of one of the many buildings overlooking the Merced river. The worst part however was that the power went out around 9:30 PM and there was no phones or generator to operate safety lights. Of course everything is electric powered including the kitchenette, heater and phone. No way to heat food, no way to heat the room in the sub-freezing temperature and no way to call the front desk or for help in an emergency. I dont know what time the power came back on because we fell asleep about 2 hours into the outage since there was nothing to do but lay in the total darkness!
I called to change my reservation from 2 nights to 1 and the person on the phone told me I had to cancel the whole reservation and re-reserve. When she went to re-reserve a room for the one night there were no rooms available. Odd because I just cancelled the resrvation. Too bad the system doesn't update quickly enough to show the available room. Too bad I did not get to stay there at all. Very bummed.
Great location right outside the park. Rooms are clean and enjoyed having the kitchenette during our stay. The restaurant is also surprisingly decent and convenient. Biggest downside is the Internet situation. Internet is not included but can be purchased for $9.99 for a 24 hour period. Fine, we paid but only to realize only one device at a time was allowed to connect and you have to go through a process to disconnect one and than connect another. Super lame.
We were originally given a room that already had someone in it.
It is a beautiful setting. Our sliding doors opened up to the river. The pizza restauraunt was good. The breakfast buffet at the other restaurant was ok. We did not try more on the menu. The place was in bad repair. One of the electric burners in the kitchenette didn't heat, and when I moved the pan, it sent out sparks. The people above us overflowed their tub. When I called to report the water coming through our bathroom ceiling, the said they knew about it, and were dealing with it. They never came by or called back to check the status of our room. I found a clothing article from a previous guest on the floor, making me wonder how thorougly they had cleaned. I found out that the washing of the dishes in the kitchenette was our responsibility, and that there was no professional sanitizing of the dishes between guests. This place looks like it was nice when it was first built, but now it is not properly cared for, and has sunk below the level of a motel 6 stay. The natural setting on the river is the only thing it has going for it.
Located just outside Yosemite entrance. Clean and comfortable, if a bit dated.
river view room was great needs a little sprucing up-ice machines inoperative-general room conditions could stand some improvements
You could tell that the room was cleaned regularly, but everything (bed, chairs, shower, etc) was well traveled. Quiet location with close proximity to the valley. Onsite dining isn't great, but the convenience is nice.
The service at the front desk, store, bar, restaurant was all around excellent. Everyone was very friendly and super accommodating. The room was clean and quiet. Not too far from Yosemite Nat'l Park. We go to Yosemite every year and I'll definitely stay at Cedar Lodge again.
$1.80 for a cup of crappy coffee in the lobby. Why not complimentary?
Spacious and clean room No cellular service and wifi is not free after you pay $200 per night or more. After paying $10 for 24hrs wifi still it doesn't work well.
I like the fact that it was close to Yosemite National Park and that it was about a 15 minute drive there. I enjoyed the look of the whole place especially with all the bears around. I enjoyed all of the surroundings view. The food there was GREAT!!! From the buffet to the bar and grill. Fast service and well worth the costs. The staff was great and gave out great information and did not sugar coat anything. Very helpful when it came to information. My wife and I really enjoyed the picnic are across the street we really enjoyed the river and the picnic table there. Very romantic and very quiet area. I did not like the fact of paying for a king size room and getting a room with 2 queen beds and over the top of the banquet area where my wife and I had to hear the music and the actual party. They should have taken that in consideration when they gave us the room. i did like the fact of no cell phone signal let alone wifi that is as slow as dial up, but that has nothing to do with the lodge, that's just the location. I did not like that they did not have Coke to drink. A little more variety to drink would have been nice.
Cheap price compared to the other accommodation. Pretty close to Yosemite. Easy check in /check out . No phone reception . No wifi . The room is pretty old , but everything is working . The fans and the heaters are really loud . Even if your neighbors turn them on . But I would stay there again anyways .
Had everything we needed in one place
I liked the overall comfort of all amenities hotel offers. And how inexpensive the hotel costs. I did not like how staff did not inform me of restaurant hours and not very welcoming . Needs better staff attitude and more ways to inform public of their hotel amenities. Also there is no wifi and no cell phone coverage.
Great location close to Yosemite park entrance. Nicely located across from the river. Pleasant outdoor areas, including the area on the river. The restaurant was just 'okay'. Our delux room with 2 queen beds and a sofa had only one chair. We would have liked an option with one queen or king bed, a sofa , and a table with 2 chairs. We are a mature couple no children traveling with us. Also, the refrigerator was nice to have but very noisy. We ended up unplugging it.
Food at restaurant was so so
Room was clean and confortable There was an extra charge for WiFi which was not disclosed until after you booked the reservation. The restaurant did not open for breakfast until 7:30 and lacked variety in the choices.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location from town. Would not like some of the front rooms, we were in the back.
Location. Size of the room. Walk in shower. My overall experience was affected primarily by the noisy tenants above! It wasn't the room itself. Very impressed. Our unfortunate experience was upstairs noisy neighbors up most of the night. I was awakened several times!
right downtown in walking distance to everything
Had a Bed and breakfast feel but still had the privacy of a hotel room. Walking distance to great food and quaint shops. It was still about an hour drive to Yosemite but the nicest on the outskirtsz
Poor wifi......
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
There was nothing we did not like. We enjoyed our stay.
good stop over before Yosemite. Very clean and the people are very nice.
good value no time for breakfast
Restaurant was very nice for a small town and extremely friendly waitress. Air conditioner in the room did not work at check in. When I told them about it they jumped right on it and got it fixed right away, great job.
We paid extra for an in-room spa that did not work and I am still trying to get a refund.
We've stayed at another hotel in Mariposa last year and this hotel is FAR Superior. We were very impressed by the staff, the hotel was fully booked, but the rooms were comfortable and quiet. The complementary breakfast is worth the money alone: hot eggs and bacon, make you're own waffles, fresh fruit, and TONS of pastries. A lot of local shops are just a walk away. If you're wanting to go to the "downtown" area, you're going to want to drive down. I couldn't find anything that we didn't like. The thing I can see people might not like is the "age" of the rooms and furniture, but you're nitpicking, in my opinion.
The staff was upbeat, informative and fun to interact with. The free breakfast was great with lots of selections and good hot food. The Miners Restaurant across the parking lot was very good as well. Full menu with salad bar and quality made-to-order entrees.
Reasonably close to yosemite The room reeked of fresh paint fumes. It appeared that the hotel was managed / owned by a couple. The man was accommodating enough, but the woman was incredibly rude when I asked for an extra towel.
Walkable distance to restaurants and shops. Not too far from Yosemite. Room was clean. Owner was nice and helpful. Smell of curry everywhere is a restaurant. Room was right next to the lobby and the elevator. Kinda noisy. When we asked for another room, we were taold all the other rooms were dirty. Windows were facing the sidewalk. Vending machines are not working, had to ask the owner for assistance. Didn't have a microwave in the room, although it was supposed to be there.
Location, towels and bed. Overpriced for what it is.
The staff was very nice and helpful. Located right in the heart of Mariposa so you can walk to shops and restaurants. Bed was very comfortable. It was a little pricey for room, but to be fair it was July.
A nice clean hotel. Great location, great value for the money.
Nasty carpet. Bad products. Bad breakfast. Not worth the money
Clean, well maintained, friendly staff, continental breakfast well done, and multiple restaurants and cute stores within a few blocks walking distance.
The hotel is located at the end of Mariposa and within walking distance from shops and restaurants. The hotel staff was fantastic. The ladies at the front desk were friendly and helpful when needed. At breakfast, although the room was packed, the crew kept the place clean and well stocked. Will stay again and recommend to others.
Close to Yosemite, bed was comfortable. Too expensive and the carpet needs to be replaced.
The check in staff was great, the lady who oversees the breakfast was amazing..... So super helpful!!! I would go back and stay again!!!! Hot tub was closed becuase of winter : (
Tidy overall. polyester bedding is not very comfortable. Hotel has good amenities just not high quality ones. Water pressure was not good. Breakfast was sufficient but definitely not exceptional. Reasonable price. Plenty of family friendly amenities. Clean. Tolerable driving distance to Yosemite Valley. Free breakfast.
Fantastic experience, great hosts, visiting deer every morning. mariposa was very nice area also.
This was such a wonderful experience that I must begin with the owner's comment when my wife and I arrived late after a very trying journey through the high Sierras. He said 'hello, you must be tired from your travels, let me show you to your room' I have travelled around the United States and have had the pleasure of staying in some very fine establishments but I never had anyone say that to me . The room was wonderfully appointed with way more than we could ever use, splendidly clean and famously comfortable and deliciously quiet. Then came breakfast, so wonderful with so many home made side dishes, fresh fruit, great company in their kitchen looking out the bay window to the Sierras that I could have remained there all day. At night we sat out on their expansive deck looking at the stars in our universe in the quiet, then we went to bed,then we hated to leave. I felt like I was leaving my own home . Don't wonder what this will be like, just enjoy it.
The place is fantastic! Awsome, friendly people, out of the way, and quite. Its about 45 min. to inside the park, but very nice to get away from the business of the valley, at Yosmite.. Great morning breakfast too! this place goes great with the overall experience of the National Park. it s just beatiful!! they make you feel right at home. Thanks Joy and Clay, we hope to be back in the future!'
Can't believe how lucky I was to find and spend 3 days at Joy and Clay's lovely B&B, Yosemite Bed and Breakfast. Our room, The Sierra Room, was both private and well stocked. All the rooms have private entrances and bathrooms. The rooms are also air-conditioned, which is an important option when it really heats up. High speed internet, helps you keep in touch, if you'd like, ot the outside world. And, if you choose, you can watch satellite tv or a dvd, in your room. The grounds are well kept with plenty of seating options to enjoy the outdoors setting, including a Barbecue grill for evening cooking. I absolutely loved having my morning coffee outside while watching the little territorial humming birds zip around the feeders. The cottage has a full kitchen and a lovely view of the canyon below. The pool was a fun option for my sons for cooling off in the warm summer weather. Breakfasts were a full American style, delicious breakfast served on fine china. What a treat. You are about 40 minutes from Yosemite Nat'l Park and after spending a day in an , although lovely, yet tourist filled, park, I can't imagine a better place to rest-up for each new days adventure. It's obvious, once you've spent a night there, that ABC and XYZ have thought of everything that you'd need to feel welcome and relaxed at their B&B. Can't wait to come back. Even my 10 and 12 year old sons are wondering when we will come back again. Soon I hope.
Wow. This was our first B&B and we were wowed. Joy indeed lives up to her name and made sure that all the guests felt right at home. It showed as the guests mingled beautifully. Ah, to wake up to the sound of wild turkeys and incredible breakfasts. Hope to meet Clay next time.
Hotel Employee were phenomenal. The breakfasts were so delicious. And the room was quiet, clean, private. LOVED the quiet and birds on the back deck. We SO enjoyed this place!
Love the wonderful breakfast. They also give me lots of helpful information and the snacks and bottle water really make me feel like stay at home.
The Queen size bed was too hard. Otherwise everything else was satisfactory.
Close to great places to eat. No need to drive around once their.
Old hotel with lots of problems. It needs updating and renovation. TV really didnt work at all and when we told them, the front dest woman just smiled at us and said they were in the process of updating all of the TV's and this room would be at the top of the list. Well I guess we should have asked what that means cuz we never received a replacement. The plumbing is old and leaky and They forgot to stock our room with coffee one day and the building is so old and dilapidated that when the people next door walked in their room or shut their door, it sounded like a construction crew was demolishing the hotel! I suggest staying eslewhere. Most other hotels will respond to their guests needs better. The only good thing about this hotel is their proximity to Yosemite and that is still an hour drive to Yosemite valley. We wont be staying here again.
Recommend this place to anyone. Cheaper than the chain motels in town and has really nice rooms.
Awesom little motel in the heart of Yosemite Country. Accross the street from dining, (some expensive, but worth it). Clean, comfortable and CHEAP rooms in a beautiful setting compared to most regular motels. Ask for the corner room in the courtyard by the gazebo, especially if you have a dog with you. Burger King and mini mart a block away, 30 minutes from Yosemite entrance.

The lodge is perfect for a trip to Yosemite. Very clean and well kept. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Grounds are like a professional garden, rooms are very cozy & quiet. A great get-away or stop-over. town of Mariposa is very nice.'
The beds were great, just like they said. They lived up to my expectations. I had to book for work and would consider bringing my family here. The only concern is that the walls a thin and you might hear a little from the next room. I have a big truck and it's hard to park and this was easy for me.
Mariposa is a delightful, small community in the wooded foothills of the Sierras. The hotel is middle aged but clean and really quite pleasant. While the rooms exit into the parking area, the hotel consists of two courtyards, both of which are removed from the street and have trees and shrubs. It is a beautiful, 30 minute drive from the Yosemite Valley. We would definately stay there again.
Comfortable, and simple accomodations. We were happy.
Great place to stay, very close to Park. Staff was very helpful and friendly, as they guided us to Happy burger. would recommend this place to anyone headed to Yosemite.
I know my title seems a little overboard, but I'll tell you why. The neighborhood, is soooo freaking cute and in this freaking cute neighborhood is an even cuter hotel with the smallest freaking pool imaginable, but its okay, because everything else is just so... FREAKIN' CUTE! Rooms were clean, front desk was nice, humming birds... doing humming bird things, everything was great.
Incredible location so close to Yosemite Falls and we could see half dome from our back deck! The room was rustic, which was perfect for the location, and very clean. A little pricey, but so worth the location!
Amazing location, really nice facilities, very cute and quaint Nothing, was perfect.
Our room had been recently updated, and was very comfortable. Decor was nice. Food was nearby. Walking in the park was very convenient. Good location. The staff at the front desk was for the most part very helpful. But not always!
It's not very sound-proof. Every sound from the rooms around me (top and sides) was heard, making it hard to sleep or relax while in the room. Every morning I was woken up by screaming children at 6am or kept awake by loud, booming voices at night.
We always enjoy staying at the Wawona Hotel. It takes you back to a time when life was a little simpler. The hotel was built in 1876 and has a rustic charm to it. . It is a nice place to stay while exploring the rest of Yosemite Park. In the evening you can sit in the parlor and listen to Tom Bopp play the piano and tell stories while enjoying a drink or dessert.
Restaurant: not a good value for money. Food is okay but a bit too expensive for what it is (but for Yosemite I believe it's one of the best options)
Bed was great breakfast one of the best walk to everything in town Didn't have time to stay longer
Room was generally clean and in good shape. Complimentary breakfast was good and convenient.
The beds , cleanliness , breakfast I do not have any thing I did not like
My husband and I stayed one night at this lovely little inn. We loved it - the room was comfortable and clean. It was right in the middle of this little town and we enjoyed walking around and exploring Mariposa. This may seem like a strange thing to mention, but the towels were extremely soft, which is rare in my experience with hotels/inns. When you're washing your face, it makes a difference to not feel a scratchy towel on your skin...little things go a long way. The women who run the inn were fantastic - super friendly and gave us great advice about visiting Yosemite. I would definitely stay here again. The shower was very snug, which wasn't a problem for me, but I could see that it might be a problem if I were older and/or required more room to maneuver. It didn't detract for my overall experience though.
Very good deal for the cost. Rooms generously large with multiple beds. Pool on premises. Breakfast included. Great location. Large screen TV with multiple channels. A/C. Staff were very helpful when I called to let them know I had left a pair of shoes behind. Nothing.
clean rooms,comfortable bed,parking close to rooms the lot is well lite at night.hotel is next to the 140 hwy that leeds into yosemiite park.the hotel is half the price as the hotels in the park,its well worth the extra beautiful drive. the continetial breakfast,not alot to choose from but it was the middle of the week with few rooms occupid then.
This is one of the most affordable hotels you can find for staying near Yosemite National Park. If you're headed into the valley, it's a 45-60 minute drive. The room was clean, the sheets and towels were fresh, and there was a good amount of floor space. It's directly across the street from a gas station and there is plenty of food options within walking distance. The staff were all very friendly. While not the greatest hotel, it's a convenient spot to drop your bags and take a shower at the end of a long day in the park. Unfortunately, there were some downsides. The refrigerator was unplugged upon arrival. The microwave was plugged in but didn't work. The alarm clock was broken. Using the tv required some very specific instruction as to how to turn it on. There was an $8 charge each day for the WiFi. There was a small new congregation of deceased insects in the sink each day. Again, not a place I'd want to spend a whole day in, but a fine place to sleep before heading out.

The next iPad and iPhone will contain a Near-Field Communication (NFC) chip that will let you use them to make purchases, according to Bloomberg. This technology is widespread in other countries – Japan, for example – but has never taken off in the US. Putting a chip into the iPhone 5 could provide the critical mass that is needed for wireless payments to go mainstream.
It's a nice theory, and it may well be true, but Bloomberg's sources are not inside Apple itself. Instead, the story comes from consultants, and is pure speculation.
NFC lets you pay by touching or waving your phone near a payment terminal. You have likely used very similar RFID technology when using public transport – the Oyster Card in London is a good example. In fact, NFC is compatible with the RFID tech used in these cards, so you could use your phone to get on the bus and metro, too.
NFC in the next iPhone makes sense, despite the complete lack of evidence. Last year Apple added a front-facing camera and a gyroscope to the iPhone 4. The next iPhone needs some new gimmick to make people buy it, so why not con tactless payments? For many people, losing their iPhone is already more painful that losing their wallet, so why not toss all those eggs into one tiny, beautifully-engineered basket?

Are the printers network printers or locally connected printers?
Locally connected printers do not have IP addresses, so there is no way for SW to detect them at this time.

Oct 8, 2008 at 3:51 UTC
Thanks, They are locally connected.

Oct 8, 2008 at 3:57 UTC
If they are locally connected you can see them by going to the computer they are attached to in Inventory, and clicking on View Complete Profile. Not ideal, but at least you can see what printers are attached to a computer.

As long as I can remember, I've been using the M40 from Oxford to London. The main geographical feature en route is what I call the "Chilterns Gap". This is where the motorway cuts a vicious trench through them thar hills in a feat of engineering that looks as impressive as the Chunnel project. Ever since I was a kid, this cut-through has been of particular significance to me. As a boy, driving through it spelt dread as it meant that I was only 20 minutes away from being incarcerated in my prep school for another term. As my parents' car slipped down into the valley – back to prison, back to hell – my spirits would sink. I'm never sending my kids to boarding school.
Nowadays, things are a bit better – driving through the Gap means that I've broken the back of my drive from London and I'm halfway home. As you drive through towards Oxford, there is a huge ridge that runs parallel to the motorway which has always seemed to promise a staggering view. I've always wanted to just turn off and find the way to the top of that ridge. For the past seven years, I've driven by and never done anything about my little urge. Then, a week ago, I went to record an item on Christmas trees for my Five Live Christmas special show. I was picked up in London and driven ... to the Gap. Just before we entered it, we turned off for Stokenchurch and visited a Christmas tree farm. This was my chance.
On the way back I pleaded with my production team to help me find the ridge. So, for half an hour or so, we drove down tiny lanes until I finally saw a sign for a nature reserve/viewpoint. This had to be it. We drove to the end of the little road and found a tiny car park. My team had considerably less interest than me in climbing above a motorway, so they stood around and smoked cigarettes while I went off exploring.
I wandered through a thick wood until I eventually found a footpath that took me up on to the hallowed ridge. I summitted after 10 minutes and it was magnificent. All I could have hoped for. Far in the distance were the smoking chimneys of Didcot power station. Just to my right, nestled between the Thames and the Cherwell rivers, were the dreaming spires of Oxford. Right below me snaked the M40 with hundreds of little ant-like cars busy fetching their occupants back from boarding school and heading home.
The roar of the traffic was intense, and yet there was a strange stillness to the scene. A lone sheep ambled up beside me and we both savoured the moment. Above us three huge kestrels swooped gracefully about in the thermals. I'd always noticed an abundance of these birds above the Gap and the owner of the Christmas tree farm had explained why. The billionaire John Paul Getty has a huge country house nearby and his estate introduced a pair of the birds to the area. Since then they have bred like... well, kestrels. So here I was sitting high above the M40 being strafed by a squadron of John Paul Getty's birds.
This was how I imagined having a shattering nervous breakdown. Park the car in the middle of the motorway, get out, strip naked, fold all my clothes into a neat pile at the side of the road and then run up the hill starkers shouting nonsensical rubbish about "them" coming to get me. With my sheep friend as a lone witness, I promised myself that I'd do this one day.
I took one final look and then plodded back towards my bemused but patient production team. They appeared completely uninterested in my spiritual experience and we drove back to London to interview Father Christmas. Ho-hum.

Radical transformation of Kensington Palace's State Apartments
Kensington Palace has been transformed following a £12 million major renovation project by independent charity Historic Royal Palaces. As part of this exciting change, Historic Royal Palaces has worked with theatre-makers Coney to radically transform the State Apartments revealing the secret lives of some of England's most interesting monarchs from the Houses of Stuart and Hanover. From 26 March, visitors will be invited to explore and take part in captivating tales of the monarchy and court life in the magnificent State Apartments, as one of several new visitor offers.
The King's and Queen's State Apartments were at the epicentre of royal and political life, and played host to the courts of William and Mary, Anne, George I and George II in the 17th and 18th centuries. Their stories will be brought to life through new multi-medium installations, live interactive theatre, and splendid never before seen costume from the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection.
In the Queen's Apartments we lift the curtain on the private lives of Mary II and Anne and explore how their shared heartbreak became the tragedy of the nation. William and Mary desperately needed a strong heir and Anne's witty, clever young son became the only hope for the Stuart dynasty. In these intimate wood-panelled apartments, visitors will see the rise and fall of the Stuarts through the eyes of Little William, the future King who danced himself to death on his 11th birthday.
Each room has been transformed with a beautiful installation that explores each stage of the dynasty, from the Glorious Revolution to the end of the Protestant line of the Stuarts. Coney and Historic Royal Palaces have worked with the award winning set designer Joanna Scotcher to use elements of the historic collection alongside specially created interactive pieces, original soundscapes, animation and beautiful lighting. Magic mirrors, whisper machines and a magnificent family tree rooted in the Queen's bedroom will immerse visitors in the dream world of Little William, whilst a window into the lives of everyday residents of the court will be given by the poignant, personal items on show. For the curious, walls may whisper and secrets could be hidden anywhere.
Contrasting with the intimacy of the Queen's Apartments is the grand, imposing architecture of the King's Apartments. Upon entering, visitors will be greeted by the lavishly decorated staircase that the King's visitors would have ascended when Kensington Palace was the seat of power. To graduate from room to room would be the work of a lifetime and only a handful would set foot in the King's private quarters. The court was the most glamorous place to be in London, a heady mixture of celebrity, politics and fashion, and to get ahead required wit, intelligence and charisma. The importance of a flawless appearance in the 18th century is illustrated by the rare examples of court dress on display for the very first time.
Today visitors are invited to hold a hand of cards like no other, where the playful can collect hints and tips in order to succeed at the treacherous game of court. From room to room, hidden cards can be discovered and mysterious performers will divulge clues to the curious to help them collect a winning hand. The space of the King's Apartments will become a social arena once again, where visitors are encouraged to trade cards, seek conversation and encounter the unexpected.
Joanna Marschner, Historic Royal Palaces curator said: "Theatre-makers Coney have introduced a fresh and original way of interpreting our great palace stories. They have drawn into our midst young artists, sound designers, film-makers and light artists. All have been inspired by our spaces, collections and have worked with our palace team and community partners. The results are tremendous and I know will intrigue and delight out visitors."
This radical presentation of the State Apartments is part of Historic Royal Palaces' £12 million major renovation project to transform the visitor experience of Kensington Palace in time for Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics. The re-opening of the palace on 26 March 2012 will also include a major permanent exhibition dedicated to Queen Victoria in her own words and a new temporary display of dresses worn by Princess Diana of Wales. Improved visitor facilities include a new entrance, café, shop, Clore Learning Centre and beautiful landscaped public gardens reconnecting the Palace to Kensington Gardens.
Notes to editors
Historic Royal Palaces is the independent charity that looks after the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, the Banqueting House, Kensington Palace and Kew Palace. We help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built. We raise all our own funds and depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors. These palaces are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation, and we manage them for the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. We believe in four principles. Guardianship: giving these palaces a future as long and valuable as their past. Discovery: encouraging people to make links with their own lives and today's world. Showmanship: doing everything with panache. Independence: having our own point of view and finding new ways to do our work. www.hrp.org.uk Registered charity number 1068852
Coney makes adventures and all kinds of things for people to play, following a set of principles including loveliness, adventure and curiosity. They mix live and digital art forms to create immersive stories and play for diverse audiences. These can happen anywhere, at anytime: in buildings, online, or out in the world. The adventure starts when you first hear about it and ends when you stop thinking about it. Coney's work is light, playful and responsive to the actions of its audience, offering them the opportunity to co-author their experience.
Coney has made work for and with the National Theatre, Tate Britain, Channel 4 Education, Battersea Arts Centre, National Theatre of Wales, Latitude Festival and many more. The company has recently been awarded National Portfolio status by Arts Council England.

How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
Accreditation is a rigorous, transparent, and comprehensive evaluative process in which an organization undergoes an independent external peer assessment of its systems, processes, and performance by an impartial external organization (accrediting body) to ensure that it's activities are conducted in a manner that meets predetermined criteria and are consistent with evidence-informed standards. Accreditation serves in setting quality standards and uniformity…" It "…is the most commonly used external mechanism for standards-based quality improvement …." This definition was extracted from Accreditation of health care providers. The Econex Health Reform Series. Health Reform Note 2. April 2010.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
NAC is an accrediting body born out of the Commission on Standards and Accreditation of Services for the Blind in 1966 (Commission). To paraphrase from the 1966 Commission – "In pursuance of continuous progress, the need has been felt for some time for specific standards by which the effectiveness of activities in this field could be gauged and upgraded." NAC's Accreditation Program embraces this original purpose and goal.
Program long term success
Since 1966, the National Accreditation Council has accredited organizations, agencies and schools serving the blind and visually impaired.
Program success monitored by

Start Your Home Inspection Career with PHII

PHII's Online Home Inspection Training and Certification Course with free NSHI Membership meets Pennsylvania requirements for home inspectors. PA inspectors must comply with the Pennsylvania Trade Practice Act 114, Title 68 Real and Personal Property Statute, which requires home inspectors to:
Be a full member of a national, not-for-profit home inspection association that requires 100-inspections for full membership
Comply with that association's code of conduct and education policy
Maintain errors and omissions, and general liability insurance
Provide a copy of the report to the property seller, upon request
Not perform repairs on a house that he/she inspected within the previous 12 months
After achieving your PHII home inspector certification, new PA home inspectors can become a full member of a national non-profit association by participating in at least 100 inspections, generally by shadowing or riding along with other home inspectors. There are many Pennsylvania home inspectors who can provide home inspector mentoring, but you are responsible for setting up your supervised inspections and maintaining a log of your experience.
After completing the PHII course, you will receive a free $199 one-year membership in the National Society of Home Inspectors. NSHI is a national non-profit home inspector association compliant in Pennsylvania. When you have completed your inspection experience log, NSHI will issue a Full Member Letter of Compliance, which you can show to clients and realtors to demonstrate that you are a Pennsylvania-compliant home inspector.
As the industry grows, many states are enacting or changing legislation for home inspectors. There are two proposed bills to amend the Pennsylvania home inspector legislation: House Bill 1421 and Senate Bill 81. Both propose the same Biennial Licensing Requirements with different grandfathering provisions:
(1) Be of good moral character.
(2) Be 18 years of age or older.
(3) Have successfully completed high school or its equivalent.
(4) 120 hours of approved instruction and 40 hours of in-field training.
(5) Satisfactorily complete a board-approved examination
(6) Pay the fee set by the board.
(7) Maintain professional liability insurance ($100,000 per occurrence; $500,000 aggregate).
SB 81 Grandfathering
(1) Be at least 18 years of age.
(2) Passed a written examination.
(3) Completed at least 250 fee-paid inspections during the previous three years
(4) Proof of professional liability insurance
HB 1421 Grandfathering (2 years)
(1) Is an active professional home inspector.
(2) Good moral character, 18 years or older, high school or its equivalent.
(3) Submits proof satisfactory to the bureau that the applicant has:
(i) been in active, continuous practice for at least five years immediately preceding the effective date of this section; or
(ii) completed 120 hours of instruction in home inspection and related subjects.
SB 81 creates a separate home inspector board, while HB 1421 is controlled by the bureau department. A version of one of the two bills could pass. In the meantime, PHII will give you a nationally recognized home inspector certification and the credentials you need to get started in Pennsylvania and will help you satisfy possible grandfathering provisions when legislation changes.

text: My email client (The Bat) is not one that I imagine too many people, if any here knows about, but my question doesn't require familiarity with it. It has an optional mail ticker that is something like a small section of a ticker tape machine for email notifications. I haven't been using it for quite a while, but recently decided to enable it. The problem is that when I first boot up the OS, I can simply click on the ticker to open an email to read, but later, for whatever reason I can't, because it will click right through it to whatever may be behind it, so all that it is good for is just notification. I have used this client for quite a number of years, both on XP and W7, without this problem ever occurring in the past. That leaves me thinking that it is not the client, but something about the OS that has changed. Does anyone have any notions as to the crux of the problem?

Bardet, Van Garderen suffer as Rogers wins Stage 16
By Julien Pretot
BAGNERES DE LUCHON France (Reuters) - Frenchman Romain Bardet and American Tejay van Garderen's Tour de France podium hopes suffered a major blow on Tuesday when they lost considerable ground in the 16th stage won by Australian Michael Rogers.
Rogers gave his Tinkoff-Saxo team their second stage win this year by powering away from a breakaway group in the 237.5-km mountain trek from Carcassonne.
Vincenzo Nibali of Italy retained the overall leader's yellow jersey ahead of Spain's Alejandro Valverde while France's Thibaut Pinot, who was the strongest in the intimidating ascent to the Port de Bales, moved up to third at the expense of compatriot Bardet.
AG2R-La Mondiale rider Bardet, who had promised to blow the race open in the Pyrenees, was unable to sustain the pace in the climb and lost more than 1:40.
Van Garderen also could not follow and lost more than three minutes, but Bardet's team mate Jean-Christophe Peraud could not be shaken off.
"I had good legs, I had to attack," Pinot, whose acceleration in the Port de Bales put all his rivals in the red, told reporters.
"I hope I can stay on the podium (all the way to Paris).
The FDJ.fr rider holds the white jersey for the best Under-25 rider. Continued...

You might already know about the "State of Symfony 2" online conference that will take place on June 22nd and 23rd. To make this an even more vibrant experience, we came up with the concept of conference hubs.
The idea is pretty simple: Instead of watching the conference home alone, you could just organize or join one of the conference hub near your home. A hub is nothing but a physical place that will add the social aspect to an already super interesting conference. A place to watch the conference together and talk about the presentations. And who knows, maybe we'll even have small hack sessions all over the hubs, playing with the new Preview Release after the presentations.
Now, here is how you need to proceed in order to help our community by hosting one of these hubs:
- Get 5 tickets to the conference
- Announce the hub on your company blog
- Leave a comment here
- Set up a projector, get a somewhat decent sound system
That's it. You're in! By running a conference hub you become a central player in animating and developing our fantastic community. We already talked to the people from Liip, who will host a hub in Zürich, Switzerland. If you just want to join an existing hub, come back in a couple of days and check the comments of this post. You should find one close by.
Thanks to the Liip team (Lukas Kahwe Smith and Pierre Spring) for the idea and for writing this post.

Commercial insurance premiums in the US amounted to $237 billion in 2010, making it the largest commercial insurance market in the world, according to the latest Swiss Re Sigma study.
The study found that a major differentiating factor, besides the size of the US economy, was the size of the US workers' compensation and employers' liability market. Outside the US, workers' compensation or employers' liability covers are often nationalised or part of the social security system.
The study found that Japan is the second-largest commercial insurance market, with $35 billion in premiums, while China is the third largest market with $31 billion in premiums.
"Commercial insurance in high-growth markets such as China benefits not only from an expanding economy, but also from increasing penetration, so premiums tend to grow faster than the economy," says Kurt Karl, chief economist of Swiss Re.
In the last decade, commercial insurance premiums in emerging markets grew an average of 14 percent per year, expanding two to three times faster than in advanced markets, which grew at 5.4 percent.

Elvis Costello has defended his decision to perform a song celebrating the death of Baroness Thatcher by arguing that the "same bunch of slimes" are governing Britain once again.
Since Margaret Thatcher's death in April, the singer has revived Tramp The Dirt Down, a vitriolic attack, first released in 1989, in which he anticipated the then Prime Minister's death so that he can stamp on her grave.
Costello, 58, performed the controversial song at last month's Glastonbury Festival, where it was broadcast as part of the BBC's online coverage.
Thatcher supporters said Costello's decision to revive the song, which he regularly aired during his recent Spectacular Spinning Songbook UK tour, was insensitive and in poor taste.
But Costello, who this week unveiled a hip-hop inspired album which revives his politically-charged songwriting, said his anger over the ideals Thatcher represented had not abated and he will continue to sing the song.
"The Thatcherite revolution is looked at historically as a great cleansing moment but it was not. A lot of things that belonged to us all communally were sold out from under us," he told The Independent.
"They weren't sold to private interests in England that enriched the country, they were sold to people in other countries. And it's still the same bunch of slimes sitting there running it all."
Costello, who now lives in Vancouver with his Canadian jazz singer wife Diana Krall and their children, continued: "I felt I wanted to revisit the song regardless of the offence it gives to people who deify her. We sing the song from our point of view and other people have another view. Nobody shot anybody because of it. I don't feel vindicated. I didn't personally kill her."
Costello added that he took no pleasure from Thatcher's struggle with dementia before her death, aged 87. His own father, musician Ross MacManus, suffered from the illness before his death in 2011. " I genuinely don't wish that on my worst enemy and that's what I said every night when I introduced the song."
He has revisited two of his most famous anti-Thatcher protest songs, Shipbuilding and Pills And Soap, on his new album, a collaboration with US hip-hop/funk group The Roots, called Wise Up Ghost.
Costello has written a South American response to Shipbuilding, his poignant ballad about the Falklands War, which reflected on the killing of young British solidiers as an unintended consequence of renewed work for struggling shipyards.
"I've written a similar human story from the other side of a conflict," Costello said of the song Cinco Minutos Con Vos. "I wanted to write a story about a girl waiting for her father to arrive home in Montevideo. But he's snatched off the street, put on a plane and pushed out of it in mid-air, down into the River Plate. People are being taken away to places in our name and we don't know if they are guilty or innocent."
Pills And Soap, a 1983 general election song describing the social impact of Thatcher's policies, has been given a hip-hop undercarriage on the new track, Stick Out Your Tongue. "Some of the things I sung about have come true or they have a more disturbing significance now," Costello said.
"Actions are being taken in our name. We used to be the people who did the things the good guys do, we're the bad guys now. In Iraq and Afghanistan it's disturbing to see the same mistakes being made as the (1989) US invasion of Panama."
Social commentary has played a major role in the Liverpudlian artist's songwriting since Oliver's Army, his breakthrough hit, backed by the Attractions in 1979. "I still sing the songs that matter to me over 35 years," said Costello, whose musical explorations have encompassed classical, jazz, country and bluegrass before his first foray into hip-hop. "There has to be a real reason to play everything, old and new."
Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, leader of Grammy-winning band The Roots, described the album, which marks Costello's return to politically-charged songwriting as "a moody, brooding affair with cathartic rhythms and dissonant lullabies."
Elvis Costello's lyrics - then and now
Tramp The Dirt Down (Spike album, 1989)
When England was the whore of the world
Margaret was her madam….
Because there's one thing I know, I'd like to live
Long enough to savour
That's when they finally put you in the ground
I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down
From Wise Up Ghost – Elvis Costello & The Roots:
Refuse To Be Saved
The Liberation Forces make movies of their own
Playing their Doors records and pretending to be stoned
Drowning out a broadcast that wasn't authorised
Incidentally the revolution will be televised
Cinco Minutos Con Vos
Now the sirens wail
There is a fever in the winding sheets
And the bullets hail
And they pull you right off the streets
Our chances are slim but the searchlights will dim in five minutes for you

SESAME Street's YouTube channel was filled with hardcore porn by internet hackers.
Fans of the US kids' show hoping to see characters such as Big Bird, Kermit and Bert and Ernie found they had been replaced by graphic sex scenes.
The hackers also changed the Sesame Street channel profile to read: "Who doesn't like porn, kids?
"Everyone loves it! I'm Mredxwx and my partner Mrsuicider91 are here to bring you many nice content! Please don't let Sesame Street get ths account back kids."
The offensive content was available for about 20 minutes on Sunday night before the channel was suspended for "repeated or severe violations of Community Guidelines".
A user called Mredxwx denied involvement in the attack on the Sesame Street page, which has more than 140,000 subscribers. Its videos have been watched almost half a billion times.
UK-based technology security expert Graham Cluley said: "The channel is regularly visited by young children.
"Attacks like this prove websites with particularly vulnerable audiences need to be monitored and protected with the highest security controls.
"Even the seemingly most innocent websites can be compromised. This is a serious matter because it was pretty hardcore stuff."
YouTube owner Google said: "YouTube's Community Guidelines prohibit graphic content.
"As always, we remove inappropriate material as soon as we are made aware of it."

The DeMille family traces its roots back to Flanders in the year 1280. There a certain Gillis DeMil was born. Members of the family eventually immigrated to America and settled in New York. By the time of the birth of Henry Churchill DeMille (1853-1893), the family had moved to North Carolina. Henry became a playwright and in 1876 he married Matilda Beatrice Samuel (1853-1923) in Brooklyn to which he had moved to in the early 1870s. They were the parents of three children, William C., Cecil B. and Agnes B. DeMille. Two of their children, William and Cecil, became famous in the entertainment industry, while Agnes, daughter of William, also became world famous as a dancer.

text: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Build 6.1.7100 Build 7100 AMD 6400 4gigs of RAM Problem: WMP 12 or Meida Center will not locate media files. WMP 12 , Music -> manage library -> nothing happens, no dialogue box, nothing. All I see is "There are no items in your music library Click Music then manage libraries to include folders in library" But following those instructions produces nothing, nada, zilch! a real circle jerk. Windows MEdia Center just reports no music files. History: I store my music/media files on a seperate partition than the OS. This has worked well with past OS's. I have tired a lot simple stuf like changing permissions, adding users and even unistalling/installing the media programs. Also there is no chatter anywhere about this problem anywhere on the internet which I find strange that out of the world, I am the only one having this probeem (never happened before - if I had a problem, someone else did too)

We were very happy with our attendance at our Inaugural Tree Service in at the Merlin Conservation Area on Sunday despite the rainy weather. Great weather for trees, but not for standing outside! Thanks to Stan Caveney and Rev. Jim Haupt for leading the Service.
Pictured here is a photo of the original Merlin District High School - site of the new McKinlay Memorial Forest at the Merlin Conservation Area - which officially opened in 1950. Later there was an extension on the east end (right side) and in the rear. The school closed in 1980. Thanks to Joy King and Jack Peltier for the photo.
Preceptor Tonia Newberry, with our new intern Alyssa Jerrett! We are very excited to be working with Alyssa, and equally excited to see how she will grow under Tonia's mentorship. Welcome to the team Alyssa!!!

To the Residents of the Merlin area:
As most of you may have learned by now, on September 30th, 2014, Richard Smith after 15 years of service in Merlin has closed Secord and Smith Funeral Home Ltd. When a business that has been an integral part of a community for so long closes, I can only try to understand the effect this news has on the community.
We at McKinlay Funeral Homes, feel very complimented to have been chosen by Richard to assist him with the responsibilities of winding up his business. Richard has trusted us to be the custodians of the Funeral Home's records that date back to 1922. We have also assisted him by purchasing his inventory and some of the funeral home equipment. Jointly, we have mailed information letters to people who have prepaid for their funeral service. In these letters, information has been included outlining the options that are available to them to assist them in directing Richard on how to fulfil their intentions and protect their funds.
This letter is our opportunity to introduce ourselves to you. We are a locally owned firm and are very proud of our record of exceptional service to the families we have served over the years. The confidence families place in us is a trust we take very seriously. My nephew, Nathan and I are both long term residents of Chatham-Kent, and are committed to excellence in our profession. I am pleased to advise you that Nathan, and I along with our dedicated staff, possess a broad range of experience. This diversity will assure you of an ongoing continuity of service over the years to come for you, your family and your community.
All of us at McKinlay Funeral Homes encourage you to accept our invitation to visit our barrier free locations in Blenheim and Chatham to view our spacious facilities, survey our large parking areas and meet our caring, helpful team of professionals. We welcome you to share any concerns you may have about the move with us or inquire about our wide range of services we offer including onsite receptions.
Although there no longer is a Funeral Home in the Village of Merlin, our pledge to you, is to continue to make available information required from the Funeral Home records and to make you as welcome and comfortable as we serve you in our locations.
Robert E. McKinlay

I've tried a number of varieties but have come back to these are they are so prolific, even in cool summers in the North. I pick them when the beans are very small and they are very tender and can be eaten raw. The beans have a lovely flavour and freeze well without blanching (just lay out on a tray until frozen and pack tightly in plastic bags) and keep for at least a year at sub minus 20 degrees C. They grow very tall and need a lot of support otherwise wind or rain tips them over.
