In spite of the weather we had a great time immersed in the most spectacular scenery imaginable. Loved the shower which was piping hot with 180degree view. Quite unique.Jane2017-04-10T00:00:00Z
The yurt is.....AMAZING. Everyone should experience it's raw beauty some time in their life. Nothing less than spectacular. You will not be disappointed.Emily2016-11-16T00:00:00Z
'Magnificent' is the best way to describe Sharon's Yurt Alpine Retreat. We had been camping in the beautiful surrounding hills for the preceding days, but it was incredible to land on top of this hill, see for miles and miles, and feel like we were the only people in the world. Everything we hoped for. The yurt provided everything and more of what we needed. Although we spent most of our time in the hammocks outside drinking local wine and eating local cheese, you can see Sharon's love and creativity inside the yurt. There aren't many places like this in Vic. What a treat.Sally2017-01-05T00:00:00Z
An insanely incredible hill(mountain)top yurt. Warm and secluded with breathtaking views in every direction.Claire2017-04-20T00:00:00Z
This is by a mile the most magical Airbnb we have ever stayed in and we can't recommend it highly enough. The yurt and facilities are wonderful, and the location is unlike anything else. Beautiful views and solitude if you want it, it was blissful and we can't wait to return.John & Kim2015-09-14T00:00:00Z
We met Sharon after we arrived and were taken to up to the Yurt. It is located in a very beautiful spot on top of a rise overlooking mountains and hills. We had a wonderful nights stay sitting by the fire and gazing at the stars. The Yurt is very cost and warm and it felt very peaceful. Our only neighbours were the cows who came to say hello. The shower the next morning was wonderful and has the best view! We will be telling our friends about this place.Debbie2014-11-18T00:00:00Z
Two words: Just. Awesome. The Yurt is the perfect place to escape the hustle & bustle of the city - think stunning views, luscious valleys, gorgeous sunsets, crackling campfire, starry nights, and peacefulness. No neighbours. No tourists. It's just you and nature. We went on a little road trip and the Yurt Alpine Retreat is definitely the ideal place to take some time out, relax, rejuvenate and feel on top of the world. We had great weather, a stunning sunset, an equally stunning sunrise, a starry night and a big full moon - very magical and memorable. The Yurt itself was a fun and unique glamping experience - the decor was colourful and authentic, and we enjoyed strolling through the vineyard. The Yurt is warm, cosy, spacious, clean and comfortable. It's got everything you need and plenty of firewood to keep the campfire roaring. Our host Sharon, was absolutely fabulous. She was friendly, down to earth, approachable, warm, hospitable, responsive, kind, open minded and just lovely. She's extremely knowledgeable about her local area and we appreciated her recommendations on things to see and do on the way up. So to get off the beaten track, one of the things we did was check out Paradise Falls - it was a nice rewarding little walk and very awesome to enjoy the waterfall view all on our own! Sharon, thank you so much for sharing this amazing spot of nature and for your lovely hospitality. We will definitely come back again. I'm sure our friends will check it out too! Highly recommended for those who love the outdoors and want a unique glamping experience to tick off the bucket list!Amanda2015-08-30T00:00:00Z
The Yurt Alpine Retreat is a truly unique accommodation in a wonderful Victorian vineyard. We loved cooking our dinner on the outdoor bbq and had a fabulous evening under the stars with a complimentary bottle of champagne thanks to Sharon, who was very welcoming. The night was cosy and warm in this original Mongolian ger and all the essentials were provided for. Breakfast was outdoors again and even the shower had a view over the magnificent countryside. There are plenty of good walks around and we would love to come back and enjoy this peaceful place again.Annetta2013-09-17T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at Shireens airstream in the beautiful Bright. It was super cosy and Shireen was very welcoming and accommodating. Would highly recommend it.Elizabeth2016-05-30T00:00:00Z
The Airstream caravan is THE most delightful, comfortable, cosy accommodation we have ever enjoyed travelling the world with Airbnb. Michael and Shireen imported it from the US and it is the genuine article, immaculately renovated by Michael to have all the mod cons and the original atmosphere with its American oak panelling, comfy bed and all cooking and washing facilities. We were a little bit tentative when we saw it on Airbnb, thinking a caravan might be cold and poky. It was quite the opposite. in fact, we were the envy of our friends who had booked into soulless motels and 'economical' self-contained for the weekend. We have promised ourselves we'll be back. it sits in a clear paddock overlooking the Ovens River and the deck is an added bonus where you can sit morning, noon and night to eat, read or relax when the weather is right. If it's cold, as it gets up there under the mountains, you can cosy up inside. Michael and Shireen's place is a few kilometres from the centre of Bright on the Ovens River so it was beautifully quiet and private. Michael is a coffee roaster and he welcomed us with one of his brews. As a coffee lover I was delighted and Michael's brew did not disappoint.Richard 2016-04-11T00:00:00Z
We stayed at the Airstream Caravan when we visited Bright for a friend's wedding. The bed was (surprisingly!) really comfy. The decor of the caravan is really adorable. Shireen and Michael were lovely hosts. Mike even gave us a ride to the bus stop to catch the wedding bus stop! I would highly recommend staying here.Amanda2016-04-18T00:00:00Z
What a wonderful place. We loved the whole experience, the river,the Airstream, Bright, alpine location.Bill2016-08-01T00:00:00Z
Again, loved the experience. Can't seem to get enough of Bright and the wonderful energy the airstream brings. Well done guys.Julian2016-05-05T00:00:00Z
This was the most amazing find and stay! Shireen and Michael are so lovely and came and greeted us when we got there. Their amazing old Airstream was warm and clean and inviting and had everything we needed. We were disappointed we weren't staying longer to be honest! We'll definitely be back when we can - to spend more time with Shireen and Michael and learn more about the lovely area too. Thank you again guys! P.s your dog Neo is adorable! Madeline and ScottScott2016-07-06T00:00:00Z
The Airstream experience in a city like Bright and hosts like Micheal and Shireen is a must , we had such a great time that we are already looking to return. Our hosts we're tip top, very friendly and accomodating , even setup the fire pit for us as a surprise. Bright is a little peace of heaven within The Victorian Alpes. As for the Airstream it talks for itself , just fantastic ! Many thanks again and looking forward to our next Bright full adventures !Nick2017-01-14T00:00:00Z

Gorgeous location. Very serene. Highly recommended for a relaxing weekend getawayElena2017-03-20T00:00:00Z
Serene tree top and sky view from large spa. lovely downstairs spot to practice yoga with glass doors open to deck and visiting birds. Cozy and well laid out for 2.Di2017-01-12T00:00:00Z
A beautifully presented accommodation in a stunning location, The Studio is the perfect choice for a romantic weekend away. Although the headline features of the open fire and daylight-filled bathroom are rightly a big plus, the decking that looks out on to the river and the sheer secluded nature of the house should not be overstated. A delightful 20 minute walk along the river takes you into the centre of Bright, a place that has got the right mixture of tourist essentials and traditional charm just right. The town centre offers plenty of excellent food options, as well a few good pubs and cafes overlooking the beautiful local scenery. My recommendation; go to Bright and stay here, you won't be disappointed.Pietro2016-05-30T00:00:00Z
We had absolutely the best, most idyllic, perfect time on our weekend here! I almost couldn't believe how perfect the cottage was. It suited our needs ideally. The physical surrounds are absolutely divine, there were beautiful parrots, and a gorgeous river walk just a few meters away. The inside was exactly as pictured in the listing, but somehow even better in real life. It was cosy and beautiful and private. It had helpful amenities, like fridge, microwave, kettle, cutlery, crockery, toaster, kitchen paper, towels, soap. The fire was ready to be lit on arrival, and plenty of extra firewood ready to go. The information book on the cottage and surrounding areas was also useful. In short, we didn't want to leave, and we will definitely be back! Thanks very much Linda and Martin.Neda2015-08-31T00:00:00Z
We had a brilliant stay at The Studio. Linda was there to greet us and show us around and tell us a bit about the local area which was great. The space itself is perfect for a couple looking for a getaway. Really liked the close proximity to Bright which is only a 20 minute walk away. Would definitely recommend to others.Iain2016-01-03T00:00:00Z
Such a gorgeous place! A easy 20min walk takes you into Bright, a charming town nestled among beautiful mountain scenery. Cherry Walk cafe had great coffee and breakfast options, and we enjoyed spending an evening at the Brewery. Mt Buffalo National Park is a worthwhile 45 minute drive away, the walks and waterfalls a spectacular way to spend a day.Holly2016-12-04T00:00:00Z
John welcomed us and gave us lots of recommendations for dining options. It is located about 10-15 min walk from the Bright town centre, a very private and cosy home with a fireplace. Pity we did not get a chance to use the fireplace as it was summer during our stay. There is also a nice big spa inside. This will be a great place for the snow season. Both my wife and I had a really relaxing week staying here.Martin2016-12-22T00:00:00Z

Brian and Jan provided a most wonderful Airbnb experience. Not only was their little shack a wonderful place to stay, they had thought of everything. We highly recommend their wonderful place to anyone looking for a central, comfortable and totally self-contained welcome home away from home.Susan2016-08-19T00:00:00Z
Location is perfect, quick walk into the mall & restaurant precinct. The cottage is great & set in a quiet relaxing and lovely garden setting. Has evething including full kitchen & washing machine and air con works a treat. Even a couple of home baked muffins on my arrival. You are invited to hook into the hosts wifi and no complaints there either. The hosts Brian & Jan are brilliant. Very easy going & great to have a chat with. Borrowed Brian's push bike a few times & rode along the river which was hot but fun. Really enjoyed my 2 weeks here & will definitely be booking here on any future trips to Mildura.Simon2015-12-19T00:00:00Z
Brian and Jan were very welcoming and provided excellent information on the area etc. The accom was magic very relaxing and quiet area. handy to amenities and Brian was the perfect host he even provided a taxi service when I was unable to secure one on Sunday. We would have no hesitation in recommending 'The Love Shack' and thank you for your hospitality Hugh and Anne From Nelson NZHugh2016-04-26T00:00:00Z

The love shack is a wonderful place to stay and I absolutely recommend it to anyone passing through or spending some time in Mildura. Brian and Jan really do go above and beyond with all the little touches and warmth they offer to guests. Thank you Brian and Jan. Mana and I can't wait to stay at The Love Shack again soon.Jason2017-02-19T00:00:00Z

We had a great time and Ron was soo friendly and always happy to help :) Thanks for a great weekend.Patricius2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
We stayed at Ron and Sarah's place for a week. It's in a truly lovely part of Victoria. The view from the back of their block over the Snowy Mtn main range is spectacular; it must be one of the best views in Australia. Because of all the rain this year, it's beautifully green too. It's a great base to visit the many national parks around that area and explore the top of the Murray. Both Ron and Sarah were very hospitable, helpful and relaxed. They were very welcoming of the kids and the dog. We loved being able to pick herbs from the garden. Our only reservation about the place was that the beds were a quite uncomfortable and small for us (we're tall) and we didn't sleep very well, especially as it got quite cold overnight. Otherwise a highly recommended holiday spot, thank you.Alison 2016-10-01T00:00:00Z
Jeanette and I stayed for two days at Sarah and Ron's B&B. Ron met us straight away and gave us lots of information and advice. The cabin was large and well appointed. The view from the backyard was spectacular. I would recommend a stay at Ron and Sarah's for anyone wanting a great base to stay at whilst exploring the Kosciuszko National ParkPaul and Jeanette2014-09-27T00:00:00Z
To say Ron and Sarah welcomed us would be an understatement. We had an amazing time at their lovely place, swam in the river and were able to totally relax. Thanks so much Ron and Sarah! We hope to make it back your way in the future!Emily2013-12-27T00:00:00Z
Beautiful setting, warm welcome and very clean, cosy abode! All in all a great place to stay when taking a scenic route from Sydney to Melbourne.Meredith2015-07-03T00:00:00Z
Sarah and Ron are everything you would want in a host: gracious, generous and helpful. Sarah is a outstanding cook to boot! She even let me try some of her home made mayonnaise which was delicious. They're situated in such a lovely spot, it's great for either relaxing at the house or as a good home base to explore the surrounding area. Their deck is the perfect spot to read a book and soak in the views. I will definitely be bringing some friends back here.Ewan2015-07-23T00:00:00Z

This is the second time that I've stayed at 'The Shack' while up here for a work trip. I adore this place! The Shack is a real gem - it is fitted out perfectly, has everything you need and more, and Buffy is lovely and was really flexible with arrival & check out times which I really appreciated. Loved waking up and taking their dogs for a walk around the property! Can't wait to be up here again.Fiona2015-03-21T00:00:00Z

We loved the shack so much. It's so rustic! A really good getaway from the city!!Melissa2015-06-19T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful night at the Shack. Gorgeously set up and, despite being only 5 min away from Horsham, it felt remote and like a real getaway. Buffy and Graham were great hosts, providing us with everything we could need. We had a relaxing walk around the property, along the Wimmera River with their beautiful dogs in the morning before we headed off. Excellent place for a stop off from Adelaide to Melbourne, but so well set up and charming we'd happily stay for a week or longer.Charlotte2015-12-07T00:00:00Z
The Shack is equipped with everything what is necessary nowadays. The lovely rustic details of the furnishing are brilliant. They make the cottage very cozy. A perfect place to do a tour to Grampians National Park, to explore the region or simply to stay there and relax. We can highly recommend this place.

This is my first time using Airbnb myself, and what a way to experience it. A group of 8 of us had come over for a wedding, and Airbnb gives that option of finding something large enough and affordable! It was an amazing place. Comfortable, inviting, spacious. Harry and Nicole are easy to get in contact with. It was an awesome first time experience for me and I will definitely be recommending/using this place again!Rachel2016-02-28T00:00:00Z
Both Harry and Nicole were welcoming and clear with their communications. The house was spacious, clean and comfortable and, although it's located about 10 minutes from the centre of town, the area is quiet as described. If we return to Albury, we would certainly stay there again.Natalie2016-07-19T00:00:00Z

We arrived late in the evening just before sunset to a cosy country home. It felt like coming home especially when Jen came by to say hello. The kitchen had all the facilities and utensils to cook our mixed grill dinner with supplies bought from the Wangaratta supermarket. The night was peaceful, quiet and the night sky was as picturesque as the photo. We woke up to a beautiful morning of chirping birds and rustling trees. Great breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. Pity our 1 night stay was just too short. If you like the country living like we do, you will have to try this out.Paul2016-04-15T00:00:00Z
We arrived at the Winery to find the light on, a roaring fire lit in the pot-bellied stove, and a fridge stocked for a cooked breakfast to have in the morning. We felt very welcome. The cottage was very clean and very comfortable, and so quiet that we were able to sleep well. It was lovely sitting out on the verandah in the morning, having breakfast, looking out over the vineyards and to the mountains in the distance. All up, it was a very peaceful, relaxing stay.Samantha2015-09-20T00:00:00Z
This place is really quite a gem. The cottage is well stocked with lovely produce from the farm, and the owners are incredibly helpful and knowledgable. The wines are outstanding. I would recommend this place. It is outstandingRuth2016-01-12T00:00:00Z
My husband and I spent the most amazing weekend in the cottage at taminick cellars!! The house is great and has all one need for such stay! Furthermore breakfast including fresh local eggs is included! The countryside is so peaceful and full of interesting wildlife. Peter and Jen and the most welcoming and friendly hosts. We enjoyed the wine and the beer a lot. I can only recommend taminick cellars if one wants to get away from the big city, relax and enjoy the real Australian country.Agnieszka2015-11-22T00:00:00Z

Tina & Row have set up a great place that is comfortable and close to the main strip of Albury. Easy walk to and from dinner or the shops.Andrew2017-03-20T00:00:00Z
We have had the most beautiful experience for our first Airbnb stay!! We usually stay in hotels and we expect a certain standard, right down to toiletries and of course linen! Tina and Row provide an experience that you can't really put into words as it creates a feeling that enlightens your soul. We stayed as a family of 4. We were all extremely well catered for with luxuries you would never get in a hotel, perfectly placed personal touches. The beds and pillows( I always travel with my own pillow but I didn't use it at Luxe) were so comfortable that my husband and I usually wake up in the night but we had the best nights sleep we have had in a while. We were able to walk to Dean St for dinner but didn't need to for breakfast as it was provided!! We cannot wait to book more than one night with Tina and Row as the feeling of escapism from the real world came at a great price. Highly recommended! Book it before someone else does!Anastasia2016-06-19T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay for one night in Tina & Row's apartement on a stopover on our way to Sydney. The apartement is very comfortable, clean en modern.

As we stepped through the door we were led around the appartment through carefully placed and thought out details. From breakfast muffins and croissants to a wonderfully curated book collection tactilely scattered around the sophisticated furnishings. A well stocked pantry with essentials such as coffee and muesli made us feel like it was specifically arranged just for our family (even our kids had treats :) The street was very quiet even though the shops and cafes were at the end of it. We will return again...if we can get a booking in this cute and stylish home.Lauren2016-04-20T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic stay at the Baker's Cottage in the quintessential small country town of El Dorado. The accommodation is kept in great condition by Sandy, who is a wonderful and friendly host who made our stay easy and enjoyable. El Dorado boasts the smallest pub in Victoria, friendly locals and is only a stone's throw from Beechworth (treat yourself to a Beesting at the bakery, you won't regret it) and the surrounding wine region. We highly recommend staying at the Baker's Cottage and enjoying all that the region has to offer. Thanks to Sandy for being terrific and knowledgeable and giving us a great description of the late 1800's baker's oven located on the property.Jed2016-04-26T00:00:00Z
We had an amazing time staying at the Bakers Cottage in Eldorado. The house was well equipped with essentials and personalised messages. The house was lovely and warm with the fire in the lounge being very easy to light. Sandy was so welcoming when we ran into her on the Saturday morning. The dredge and the river are definitely little pockets of the beautiful and interesting history of the town. Will be back to stay again for sure!Kelly2016-05-17T00:00:00Z
The Bakers Cottage in Eldorado is a very special place to stay. Sandy has created a space this is inviting, tranquil and friendly. A perfect mix of unique and tasteful style, that has been thoughtfully put together. The space is entirely comfortable with everything you need to unwind and relax. Eldorado itself is a hidden gem of a town, and being just a little off the beaten track only adds to it's charm. All of this is helped further by the fact that Sandy is such a genuinely warm and kind host. We had a fantastic break here and will definitely be back!!Jason2014-03-05T00:00:00Z

The cottage was absolutely charming and we appreciated the list of recommended places to eat - the degustation dinner nearby at The Plough Inn was sensational, particularly given my dietary restrictions, and incredibly good value. We were there for a relaxing girls' weekend but we would both like to take our husbands back there for another stay, it was THAT good. Thank you Sandy!Renada2014-11-30T00:00:00Z
Charming stay in the high country. Sandy's hospitality was second to none. A very comfortable cottage in tge quaint town of El Dorado. Will definitely be coming back.Tim2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
The cottage is beautiful, extremely comfortable and spotlessly cleaned. We had a very relaxing, carefree weekend there. Sandy is the perfect host, providing little extras like milk, eggs & chocolate. She's happy to chat but also leaves you to be completely private. The cottage is in a beautiful setting in a very charming village with a good, small local pub. Highly recommended!Helen2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
As delightful as it's description, Bakers Cottage did not fail to delight and enchant us. Attention to detail and a lovely supply of fresh produce to keep us going for several days. If only all air bnb hosts were as kind and thoughtful! Thank you Sandy.Anita2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

Stayed in Tammy's great cottage for just one night passing through the area. More than enough space for myself and four friends, and the place was very comfortable with a nice fireplace. Beds were so comfortable. We're already talking about coming back for longer in the summer!Matt2015-08-29T00:00:00Z
Absolutely beautiful house to stay in. Our host Tammy left the heater on so the house was lovely and warm on our arrival. Excellent communication with host and only a phone call away if any problems. Will definitely be back.Kellie 2015-07-20T00:00:00Z
Amazing house. Clean, warm, fantastic amenities, wifi, fireplace, everything you need! Great service from host, Tammy even dropped off fire wood for us to use. Great location. Can't recommend enough.Paul2016-05-20T00:00:00Z
Our 2 night stay at the cottage was very enjoyable. It was very clean, beautifully presented and the decor was modern and tasteful. The beds were incredibly comfortable! We appreciated that the heating had been turned on for our arrival as Bendigo is chilly at this time of the year. There was more than enough towels and extra blankets to keep off the chill. Charming place to stay and close to all amenities. Thank you for supplying tea, coffee and milk. Will stay here again and will recommend to family and friends.Fiona2016-08-07T00:00:00Z
Excellent facilities and location. Perfect for a weekend away. Place was very clean and clearly looked after well. Highly recommend.Damien2016-09-17T00:00:00Z
I was travelling to Bendigo for work, and found the entire town was booked out. I made the booking for the cottage only a few days beforehand, and Tammy was quick to reply, and to make sure I settled in OK when I arrived. The cottage was a lovely place to stay - cosy and comfortable, and had everything I needed.Kate2015-09-10T00:00:00Z
The house was really lovely and just as shown in the picture. there are steps down to the kitchen and bathroom which slows elderly people down. It was spotless and really well presented with very comfy beds. We loved it.Eleanor2016-11-12T00:00:00Z
Booth Street cottage is lovely, quiet, and tastefully furnished -- a real surprise package with luxurious touches that felt like a proper holiday house.

Suzanne is a wonderful and organised host. She gave timely information and followed up to check that we were satisfied. The apartment is wonderful, clean, and best of all, Suzanne has arranged for all the little things that make immediately homely: a pantry of provisions (tea, milk, cereal etc), portacot, high chair, DVDs & more. This was great as we had kids, and it saved us ducking out for provisions after a long drive.Trang2016-10-14T00:00:00Z

Rachel and Rob were great hosts. The apartment is really well appointed and it is obvious that it is very well maintained. We were about 2km from town which was really nice. The property is on a few acres with paddocks for horses, so it has an "out of town" feel. Its a pretty simple drive or bike rde into town for dinner, so if you are happy to make that effort, this is a great spot. Rachel's recommendations on places to eat and things to see and do were spot on.Paul 2017-01-17T00:00:00Z

Dear Lachlan, Belinda and Helen Thank you so much for the good care you've provided. The cottage has been perfect for us. We enjoyed the views and the walks. The stars at night are amazing. The location was great for our trips to Tumut, Batlow, Tumbarumba and Paddy Falls and lookout toward the Snowy Mountains. Back at the cottage we could relax and got greeted by mans best friend. Greatly appreciated by Jan Tonnie Dinie Netty Wim and JohannaJan2014-12-03T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay at Bel and Lachlan's cottage, set in a beautiful, secluded valley. It was so peaceful sitting on the veranda as the sun sets, watching the cows settling down whilst an immense array of birds sang their chorus. My parents joined us from the UK and they found it a completely unique experience. The cottage itself is charming and quintessentially australian. Our hosts were friendly and attentive whilst respecting our privacy. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends!Shona2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

This is one of the gems on AirBnB. Jaw dropping scenic beauty overlooking the farm. Cattle grazing on the green grass. Rolling hills in the background - with a tree standing alone at the top. Poetic beauty! Our host Bel was very friendly; met us when we arrived. We really enjoyed our time there and would love to go back any day.Reeba2017-02-18T00:00:00Z
As described, this is a lovely farmhouse in a wonderful setting.Vickie2017-04-14T00:00:00Z
Lachlan showed us all his animals, like a little kangaroo and plenty of puppies. He and his wife were very welcoming. We think that if you sit on the terrace of this cottage it looks like heaven. Amazing! The only thing is that there are 3 bedrooms. One of them is not really a room, it has no door. If somebody goes to the toilet or bathroom he/she has to go through this room.Annet2015-12-01T00:00:00Z

Hey everyone,
I am a summer employee at a college down the road from me and I am currently setting up a pure IPv6 test environment with 10 Dell Poweredge 1955's in a Poweredge 1855 chassis with only 3 running Windows 2008 Server R2 and 2 servers running Windows 7 acting like client work stations. I have my network all subnetted and everything, the block I am using for my test lab will be 2620:43:8000:5000::/64. My first server is my Active Directory and DNS server, my second is my Web server, and the third is my DHCPv6 server. I have static addresses for my server going from 2620:43:800:5000::1 /64 to 2620:43:8000:5000::4 /64 and my 2 workstations I want to be addressed using stateful DHCPv6. The problem that I am having is that the DHCP server will assign an address to every computer in my lab including my servers with a static address, and my workstations do not receive a route and cannot ping anything. I think I can solve the server issue by issuing the command netsh int ipv6 set int 11 man=dis routerdiscovery=dis adv=dis, but then the DHCPv6 server will not advertise to DHCP hosts that a stateful configuration is being used and then use SLAAC to get their addresses and default route. Pings sort of work with SLAAC and sort of worked when I did not implement the DHCP server yet, but now pings are all messed up and nslookup isn't working properly. In order to solve this issue do I need a Cisco router or Layer 3 switch that will advertise RA's with the ipv6 nd managed-config-flag set as well as the ipv6 nd prefix 2620:43:8000:5000::/64 or is there something completely different that needs to be done here? Basically what we want to do is have a DHCP server for every building on campus/subnet from the range 0000:0000:0000:0000 to FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF, but for the test lab we have our DNS, AD, Web, and DHCP server all in the same subnet as of right now, so maybe it can't be done?
If anyone needs anymore info such as the netsh int ipv6 dumps, ipconfigs, or anything else I can get that to you. I am greatly thankful for anyone's help as I have been at this for several weeks and I cannot get this dang thing working.
-Thank You,

It is going to be easier if you setup a router for the solicitation requests. Just run GNS3 if you are testing.
Jul 9, 2012 at 4:00 UTC
Here is a decent guide :
Jul 9, 2012 at 6:56 UTC
Yeah, I thought we would need a router to make things easier. Me being summer help no one really acts right away when we ask for something haha but today they go me a Cisco 3750 Layer 3 switch since we have only 1 Router for the entire campus, which is a BGP Router going to our ISP, Time Warner. All we have in our closets are switches. I have looked at GNS3 and it looks very good for routing, but not for switching so I'm not sure how much help that will be to me, however in our test lab they wanted me to use routers with Layer 3 Distribution switches and Access layer dumb switches. But, thank you for that link! I have tried those commands on the DHCP interface and since it was advertising all the connected servers and clients used SLAAC to auto configure their address as well as the clients keeping their DHCP addresses, but I haven't tried using the store=persistent on the client, I'll try that tomorrow. I'll post back and hopefully I can figure out how to configure our Layer 3 switch to advertise without hosts SLAACing :) Thank you!
EDIT: I just looked at the link your provided again and noticed down towards the bottom he enabled advertising on the client workstations. Isn't that what you don't want? I had that before and my clients were advertising the route I added and changing giving all my servers additional IP addresses.

How do I make mint green for icing?
5 replies
Americolor makes mint green food color.
I just added a tiny bit of kelly green from the wilton colors and it made the minty green that is on my swirl drop flower cakes border
If the jungle babies cake in my gallery is the shade you are looking for, I used Americolor leaf green to achieve that color.
thank you all very much for your help.
Make yellow first, then add a touch of Wilton leaf green - the result is a beautiful mint color.

FROM hard hat to beauty queen's crown - meet the Miss York & District entrant who is trying to defy the beauty contest stereotype.
Olivia Bradley, from Brayton, near Selby, isn't a hairdresser or beautician; she's a joiner, who wants to encourage other young women to consider entering similar careers.
The 20-year-old said she hoped taking part in this year's York beauty contest would send out a message that working in the construction industry did not rule out glamour. "People don't have to be beauticians or work with children to enter," she said.
Olivia revealed that she had fancied being a joiner since she was a child, when she used to help out her stepdad, Mick Elcock, who was a joiner and handyman.
At 16, she went to Selby College, where she was the only female on a level one joinery and carpentry diploma course.
She then got an apprenticeship with York building contractor F Parkinson, dividing her time between working on building projects as far away as Stockton-on-Tees and Harrogate - including installing skirting boards, hanging doors, putting up stud walls and boxing pipes - and getting her level 2 and 3 NVQs in site joinery.
She said she had had to withstand quite a lot of sexism on building sites. "You have to have quite a thick skin," she said.
In January, she was made redundant and she has since been back to Selby College on Thursdays on a voluntary basis as a trainee joinery tutor, with the hope one day of becoming a full-time tutor, giving her the chance to encourage more girls to enter such a career.
The Miss York & District final takes place at the Hilton on Saturday May 3, with the winner automatically going through to the Miss England final, to be held between June 14 and 16 in Torbay.
Anyone still wanting to enter should call organiser Diane Yalezo on 07864 028302 or email her at email@example.com by no later than next Wednesday.


text: Ardal: I just like doing different things. I get very impatient and very bored easily and I'm always curious to try other things. If I had an ambition in life it would be to know everything, but I guess that's a bit unrealistic. But as long as I can breathe, I hope I will continue to try and do different things. It's about not being afraid to fail. Of course I care about that but you've still got to try things and that's what I want to continue to do.

This patent application makes reference to, claims priority to and claims benefit from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/550,419, entitled "Companion Microphone System and Method," filed on Mar. 5, 2004, the complete subject matter of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, in its entirety.
This patent application makes reference to U.S. Pat. No. 5,966,639, entitled "System and Method for Enhancing Speech Intelligibility of Multiple Talkers Utilizing Wireless Communication," issued on Oct. 12, 1999, the complete subject matter of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, in its entirety.
[Not Applicable]
[Not Applicable]
Hearing-impaired people often have difficulty comprehending speech in noisy and/or reverberant environments such as encountered at parties or in a restaurant. The hearing-impaired person may have difficulty comprehending the speech of the talkers due to: 1) a hearing aid that may not adequately correct for the loss of hearing sensitivity to quiet sounds, or 2) a residual hearing acuity that is inadequate to permit that person to understand speech in the presence of noise levels that normal-hearing individuals find acceptable for carrying on a conversation. The first problem, lack of adequate audibility at some frequencies, can often be corrected with readjustment or change in the hearing aid circuit. The second problem, lack of adequate acuity, cannot be corrected with any known circuit. More specifically, those with normal hearing can carry on a conversation at a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 0 to −5 dB, meaning the noise may be as much as 5 dB more intense than the desired speech signal. Individuals with moderate-to-severe hearing loss, on the other hand, may often require an SNR of +5 to +10 dB, 10 dB greater than those with normal hearing. The impossibility of a circuit solution to the problem is seen, for example, by the fact that no circuit can know which of many voices at a party is noise and which is considered signal. It is well known that a listener can switch his or her attention at will from one talker to another at a noisy party, often while continuing to look at the original uninteresting talker. These and other considerations are discussed in more detail in an editorial "Hearing Aids: Past, Present, and Future," by Mead C. Killion, scheduled to appear in the May 1997 issue of the British Journal of Audiology.
The SNR problem has been most obvious with children having severe-to-profound hearing loss. Such children find it impossible to properly understand the teacher even when they wear the best conventional hearing aids in a typical classroom. The use of FM systems such as those currently available from manufacturers like Telex of Minnesota and others has provided a substantially improved SNR for such children, permitting them to learn and understand speech in classroom settings.
In FM systems, the teacher's voice (or other audio signal, perhaps from a video tape or audio recording) is used to frequency modulate a radio frequency carrier which is transmitted within the classroom. The students are then equipped with FM receivers. The FM receivers pick up the transmitted signal, demodulate it, and present received audio either to the students' hearing aids or to their ears via headphones or earphones. In this particular example, there is one audio signal, which is transmitted, that being the teacher's voice.
A severely hearing-impaired adult at a restaurant may face a similar difficulty with respect to noise, but now at least three talkers (assuming the case where two couples go out to eat) need to be heard. Passing a single microphone around is sometimes done as an effective, but inconvenient, solution. Similarly, head-worn hearing aids including FM receivers used with single-microphone FM transmitters are increasingly being used. One such effective system is manufactured by AVR Communications in Israel.
What is clearly needed, however, is a convenient multiple-microphone pickup system where each microphone operates in a wireless mode. Such a system would serve both those with hearing impairment and normally-hearing individuals, allowing both to communicate in difficult situations and environments. Such systems can be made small enough to also be used by individuals who wish to communicate discreetly with their undercover teammates.
Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of such systems with some aspects of the present invention as set forth in the remainder of the present application with reference to the drawings.
A system and/or method for enhancing speech intelligibility using wireless communication, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention may be appreciated from a review of the following detailed description of the present invention, along with the accompanying figures in which like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout.
Aspects of the present invention relate generally to instrumentation commonly referred to as "assistive listening devices" and more particularly a method and system for the enhancement of speech intelligibility utilizing wireless communication. In an embodiment of the present invention, a group of talkers may have a microphone and a transmitter operating in combination with a receiver arranged to accept each of the transmitted signals and pass the combined signal on to hearing aids or earphones. The listener may thereby be provided with a relatively noise-free signal from each of the desired talkers.
A method and system for the enhancement of speech intelligibility utilizing wireless communication is provided. An embodiment of the method and system addresses the situation in which a listener or a group of listeners (who may or may not be hearing-impaired) may desire to comprehend the speech of one or more talkers in the presence of background noise or reverberation. An embodiment of the present invention may be particularly useful to hearing-impaired individuals, normal-hearing individuals who communicate in difficult and noisy environments, and individuals who wish to communicate discreetly.
An embodiment of the present invention may be implemented as a one-way communications system. For example, an embodiment of the present invention may be designed to aid a set of listeners in the comprehension of a set of talkers. Each talker may be equipped with a specific subsystem. The subsystem may be a microphone and a transmitting device, designated herein as a Talker unit. Each listener may also be equipped with a different specific subsystem. This subsystem may be a Receiver unit. In an embodiment of the present invention, an individual may be equipped as both a talker and a listener simultaneously, hence, permitting two or more hearing-impaired individuals to benefit from the system.
As mentioned hereinabove, an example of such a situation in which the present invention may be useful may be where a hearing-impaired individual may need to be part of a group discussion but is unable to participate due to the presence of noise or reverberation. In an embodiment of the present invention, the hearing-impaired person may equip each of the important talkers with a unit (a transmitter subsystem), which may transmit a spread-spectrum digital signal, and equip himself/herself with a different unit (a receiving subsystem), which may receive the combined signals from the equipped talkers. The individual, as a result, may be able to effectively conduct a meeting or a discussion. The receiving subsystem may be a spread-spectrum receiver with means that may appropriately receive and decode the digital signals.
Generally, the talker unit microphones are located at one-tenth the distance from the talker's mouth that the listener's hearing aid microphone would be, and as a result a single-microphone pickup may provide an increase of 20 dB in signal-to-noise ratio. The background noise at both locations may be about the same, but a speech utterance that produces a sound pressure level of 100 dB at the talker microphone on the chest of the talker may produce only around 80 dB at the listener's output device such as, for example, a hearing aid. Each of three talker units used in a system may pick up a portion of the background noise, and these portions may be uncorrelated. As a result, when all three microphones are active at one time, the total noise power summed at the receiver unit will be approximately three times that of a single microphone, or an increase of 4.8 dB over that of a single microphone. In an embodiment of the present invention, directional microphones may be used in each talker unit, which may result in reducing the noise at each microphone by 5 dB, and as a result the 20 dB improvement of a single microphone may be retained.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a directional microphone such as, for example, the directional microphone 45 of
In an embodiment of the present invention, the Talker units 105, 106, and/or 107 may be given to a group of talkers wherein each Talker unit may contain a spread-spectrum transmitter 131. The transmitter 131 may take a signal from a microphone 108 through a gain stage 115 and convert the analog microphone signal into linear PCM data packet, which may be transmitted via an antenna 133 to a Receiver unit 150. The transmission may be in the form of asynchronous data packets whose transmission timings may be directed by the Receiver unit 150 such as, for example, transmission done in Bluetooth�. A finite impulse response (FIR) filter 119 may adjust the frequency response of microphone 108 and perform anti-aliasing for the A/D converter. The Receiver unit 150 may contain a receiver, which may receive through an antenna 157 audio data packets 130, 132, and 136 from each Talker unit, and convert them back to linear PCM format and place them in a queue. Isochronously, the Receiver unit 150 may sum the data from the three Talker units.
Using spread spectrum transmission may allow multiple systems to be used within a physical space. The use of readily available, low-cost, Bluetooth�, Zigbee�, and other 2.4 GHz radio, for example, for Talker units 105, 106, and 107 and Receiver unit 150 may provide the ability to use small antennas at 2.4 GHz.
In an embodiment of the present invention, there may be a control path such that a Receiver unit may start and stop transmission of data. A Receiver unit may also send gain commands to change the microphone pre-amp gain as described hereinafter. In an embodiment of the present invention, the control path for data transmission may be a wireless data path.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the user's Receiver unit 150 may transmit information about the setting of the user's volume control 155 to each Talker unit 105, 106, and 107 in order to set the front-end gain of preamplifier 115 of each of the Talker units while also setting the gain of the user's speaker (headphone) amplifier 161. Thus, high microphone-circuit sensitivity may be provided when the sound levels are low, but the microphone-circuit sensitivity may be reduced when the sound levels are high enough so that overload would otherwise occur in the microphone circuit and/or A/D converter 219 of
In an embodiment of the present invention, the Receiver unit 150 may contain software that decodes the position of volume control 155 through an A/D converter. The volume control 155 may be a variable resistor controlled by wheel 157. The variable resistor may be part of a voltage divider that changes the voltage at the A/D converter. After allowing for hysteresis, the software may determine a range of separate steps for volume, for example, 16-32 separate steps. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the volume may be controlled by a digital volume control, where a user may press contacts to indicate whether the volume should go up and down. Hence, volume control may be obtained from two momentary contact switches (UP and DOWN), which provide the volume information to the Receiver unit 150. In such an embodiment, the volume control 155 and the wheel 157 may be replaced by two momentary contact switches.
Experimentation may be utilized to determine an optimal gain at the microphone and at the speaker (headphone) amplifier for an optimal signal-to-noise ratio. As the software recognizes the volume control has been changed, it may change the speaker amplifier gain and send messages to the Talker units to change their gains accordingly.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a Receiver unit may determine the audio power in each of data packets 130, 132, and 136, and assign, for example, unity gain to the channel with the highest power and a 6 dB loss to the other two. Experiments have shown that this method provides an additional 3 dB signal-to-noise ratio over fixed-gain processing, while avoiding the audible artifacts of most gain-switching devices. The summed signal may then be sent through an FIR filter to remove any aliasing and to generate the proper sample rate for the D/A. In an embodiment of the present invention, the packet period may be of short duration, on the order of, for example, 10 mS. As a result, the switching transient may be made practically inaudible. Additionally, the switching period may be made equal to the period represented by the packet, which may be, for example, around 8.75 mS. A very simple decision algorithm comprising a sequence of steps to decide which Talker unit may have the highest audio power, may be employed. The switching may, therefore, be done on instantaneous basis. In another embodiment of the present invention, smoothly shaped attenuation such as, for example, a Gaussian shaped attenuation, may be utilized for switching, and as a result may more substantially reduce any residual noise that may be introduced by the switching process.
The local microphone on the Receiver unit may be summed at a loss such as 12 dB to this result to provide an audible "sidetone" signal to the wearer without significantly increasing the noise level at the output.
Typically, a HV3-mode Bluetooth� protocol uses a single packet per audio channel sent isochronously within a 625 uS (micro-second) time slot to transmit the information that is decoded on reception into 3.75 mS of audio. Because of preambles, controller information and error checking and other overhead, the total number of bits that can be transmitted in the time slot described above is 240 bits. The resulting distortion and loss of speech information may be high. In an embodiment of the present invention, this loss may be circumvented while maintaining an efficient use of the basic Bluetooth� A/D converter hardware. In order to transmit additional digital data, the asynchronous data communication allowed by Bluetooth� may be changed to allow expanding each channel's packet to use three 625 uS time slots. For example, 1400 bits may be transmitted per packet, which may provide 8.75 mS of audio. As a result, 2.5 times the number of bits per second of audio can be transmitted, sufficient information to increase the audio bandwidth more than twofold, from 3.5 kHz to 7.5 kHz, and simultaneously increase the information content sufficiently to decrease the distortion caused by the data compression so that the transmitted intelligibility in noise may be comparable to a system with no distortion.
Since both ends of the communication link may be controlled, the quality and service of the transmitted signals may also be controlled, even with asynchronous communication. For example, to obtain the highest quality, the A/D and D/A rates must be exactly synchronized, which may require that the codec clocks be synchronized. Because the Bluetooth� protocol already requires radio clock synchronization between the communicating units, a synchronized radio clock may be used as the basis for the codec clock in the system, hence, ensuring packet uniformity. Aspects of the present invention may not be restricted to Bluetooth� architecture, and may apply to a broad range of digital-RF circuits.
In an embodiment of the present invention, two Receiver units, each of which may incorporate an audio output, may be used, where one may be programmed to operate as a master unit and the other may be programmed to operate as a slave unit. In such an embodiment, it may be possible to make a simple "walkie-talkie" pair. The Receiver units may have their microphones activated to allow operation as audio transceivers, and the volume control function may be modified to maintain constant side-tone level as the talker's sensitivity is controlled by the listener, as described hereinabove.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a Talker unit may be a radio transceiver, with transmitting and receiving capabilities. Similarly, a Receiver unit may be also a radio transceiver with transmitting and receiving capabilities. It should be noted, that the use of the terms transmitter and receiver hereinabove, in association with Talker and Receiver units is for purposes of illustration and emphasis of functionality. All units as described hereinabove may comprise transceivers and have transmitting and receiving capabilities.
While the above discussion examines a system comprising three Talker units and one Receiver unit, it should be understood that systems in accordance with the present invention may comprise at least one Talker unit and at least one Receiver unit. The set up of a system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the exemplary number of units used throughout the discussion.
To this end, a method for enhancing speech intelligibility utilizing wireless communication is provided. In an embodiment of the present invention, the method may involve providing a Receiver unit to at least one listener and a Talker unit to each of a plurality of talkers. Each Talker unit may be capable of transmitting a wireless audio signal in the form of data packets and receiving a wireless control signal from a Receiver unit. The wireless audio data signals may then be demodulated into audio signals. The audio signals may be mixed to form a mixed output signal and the resulting output signal may be delivered to earphones worn by the listener or to a inductive coil whose output is picked by a telecoil in a hearing aid worn by the listener.
Accordingly, the present invention may be realized in hardware, software, or a combination thereof. The present invention may be realized in a centralized fashion in at least one computer system, or in a distributed fashion where different elements may be spread across several interconnected computer systems. Any kind of computer system or other apparatus adapted for carrying out the methods described herein may be suited. A typical combination of hardware and software may be a general-purpose computer system with a computer program that, when being loaded and executed, may control the computer system such that it carries out the methods described herein.
The present invention may also be embedded in a computer program product, which comprises all the features enabling the implementation of the methods described herein, and which when loaded in a computer system is able to carry out these methods. Computer program in the present context means any expression, in any language, code or notation, of a set of instructions intended to cause a system having an information processing capability to perform a particular function either directly or after either or both of the following: a) conversion to another language, code or notation; b) reproduction in a different material form.
While the present invention has been described with reference to certain embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the present invention without departing from its scope. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed, but that the present invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.

I need to create a form, I already have most of the questions on pdf & word format, I want to know if I can create a form importing that questionary so I can edit and build my form from there. Thanks!
Unfortunately, we don't have a feature that would allow you to import a form from a document.
On this case, you would need to create the form from scratch. You could check our template gallery and/or our theme store to see if you can find a ready-to-use form that you can use as a startup point.
Another option would be saving your form as an HTML file and then publish it on a website, this would allow you to clone the HTML form to your account using its URL. Please note that this method would only copy the fields in your form without any format.
Hope this helps.
If you have further questions, please let us know.

Just had to share I met Aine2 yesterday at Cake International. I was sooo excited just like meeting a celebrity (which of course she is ), she was demonstrating her beautiful figures and I'd just missed it, but she was so kind and explained how the mouths are made (which is what I was struggling with) I can't wait to try it out tonight. The photos of her work show her brilliance but up close it's just jaw dropping, no wonder everyone wanted to know if she uses moulds.
So fun!!
I can't wait to run into another CCer...let alone a CCCer
...celebrity cake central-er
Too cool!...and post pics of what you tried
I will do right now I've got these cushion things (Aine uses foam) I've made from modelling paste with a head shape indentation in them so I can rest the head in while I model the front. I always used to put the detail on upright and wondered why it was so fiddly I hope these work ok until I can get some foam or something similar.

Hybrid Baby Tape™ and Hybrid Pediatric Tape™ Providing the Right Tape for the Right Hold
B&B Medical Technologies
Hybrid Baby Tape™ and Hybrid Pediatric Tape™ Providing the Right Tape for the Right Hold
B&B Medical Technologies has released The Hybrid Tape™ collection for use in all Neonatal and Pediatric care environments. Hybrid Baby Tape™ and Hybrid Pediatric Tape™ are a unique combination of tapes that combine the gentle qualities of hydrocolloid to safely adhere to tender skin with a specially formulated acrylic adhesive strip to tightly secure endotracheal tubes, NG/OG tubes, cannulas and small catheters. Latex-free and hypoallergenic, Hybrid Baby Tape™ and Hybrid Pediatric Tape™ dramatically improve the functionality, comfort and reliability of securing devices for infants and pediatric patients while improving quality of patient care, Providing the Right Tape for the Right HoldSM.
Hybrid Baby Tape™ and Hybrid Pediatric Tape™ are for use in the NICU, PICU, Labor & Delivery, OR, Emergency Department and transport environments to secure artificial airways and other vital tubes and catheters. Very low birth weight and pre-term infants, babies and pediatric patients often present with difficult endotracheal securing issues because of their delicate skin integrity, potential for copious secretions, frequent changes in position and sedation vacations. These factors often adversely affect adhesive securing ability. The Hybrid Tape™ collection delivers the best solution to secure endotracheal tubes and catheters while protecting tender skin.
Specifically designed for infant and pediatric applications, Hybrid Baby Tape™ and Hybrid Pediatric Tape™ are precut tapes that save the clinician time and enable one-person application. Hybrid Tapes are flexible yet provide firm adhesion while also absorbing exudates. The skin friendly hydrocolloid tape can easily be removed with water without damaging the skin; folding a small tab after wrapping the specialty acrylic adhesive around the endotracheal tube allows for its easy removal. The tape may be trimmed to fit individual facial contours.
Hybrid Baby Tape™, part number 11700, and Hybrid Pediatric Tape™, part number 11800, are packaged as a complete kit with two each Hybrid Tapes, two each skin preps and additional hydrocolloid strips for securing NG/OG tubes, small catheters and cannulas. B&B Medical Technologies products are designed for ease of use, simplicity of operation for the practitioner and provide cost effective solutions for healthcare institutions.
