Orbea Rallon 2016: First Look
and very bad for when you... might crash... cause the brake levers scorch across it.... just ask me, I know. and thats EXACTLY why Orbea raised the front, cause the stem mounted at the highest from last year, requires your brakes to be pointed almost flat frontward... I know, i have one. I would like the half degree slacker for sure ( and the cm more on top, so in case I crash, I won't get a second scorch on the top tube) :-) still, its a very fun bike ( I know I have one :-D).

LOS ALTOS, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/05/13 -- Building on sales growth of nearly 150 percent in 2012, Box today introduced the Box Partner Network, an ecosystem of strategic alliance, channel and platform partners that will further extend Box's cloud content and collaboration service into new markets and power the company's expansion in 2013.
"We are witnessing a once in a generation transition -- post-PC devices and cloud applications are profoundly changing both the ways people work and how businesses buy and deploy technology, and it's happening faster than anyone could have predicted," said Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO, Box. "Content and collaboration sit at the heart of almost every business process. With our growing network of partners and developers, Box has a huge opportunity to help businesses navigate this massive shift."
The introduction of the Box Partner Network follows Box's most successful year to date, with several major customer wins, including global leaders Discovery Communications, Electronic Arts, Johnson Lambert LLP, McCann Worldgroup, MGM Resorts International, MRM, NBC Sports, Netflix, Nationwide, Sony Music, Sunbelt Rentals, and Random House, Inc. Box also saw impressive adoption and growth in a variety of vertical industries. Sales in construction and engineering services grew 103 percent, education grew 119 percent, manufacturing grew 233 percent and media and entertainment grew 200 percent.
"With Box, our global teams can easily collaborate and securely share information on any device, which is imperative in the client delivery space," said Michel Sergio, EVP and Director of Global Client Operations, MRM. "Box's platform is also very flexible with open APIs that are attracting powerful 3rd party applications, so that people can work in their preferred environment and in a way that feels natural for them."
New Software Partners, Box Channel Program & Box Platform
The Box Partner Network is comprised of Box's strategic alliances (which includes technical integrations), the Box Channel Program, and the Box Platform and API.
Box's strategic alliance partners include several global technology leaders, independent software vendors and systems integrators. Today, Box welcomed Autodesk, AtTask, Fonality, Marketo, CollabNet, Clarizen, TIBCO, Tidemark and Xero. Five new partners, including CollabNet, Clarizen, Fonality, TIBCO's tibbr and Tidemark will leverage Box Embed, an HTML5 framework, first introduced in October 2012, to make it simple to integrate the complete Box content and collaboration experience into best of breed applications. These five partners join Box's ten inaugural Embed partners announced at BoxWorks 2012. Autodesk, AtTask, Marketo and Xero will all integrate directly with the Box Platform.
The Box Channel Program has signed 50 resellers globally in the last four months, in addition to announcing a new North American distribution relationship with Ingram Micro Inc., the world's largest technology distributor. Other key partners include CDW, Ahead, Insight, Forsythe and SoftChoice.
Box's channel program leads the cloud SaaS market in benefits and compensation for resellers, offering industry leading recurring revenue terms, rich training and market development funding, and deal registration. The program is built on flexible partnership models, where partners can select the Box relationship that works best for them. For example, partners can choose to refer leads to Box and earn a commission for the first-year contract. Or they can resell Box and earn revenue for the life of an account.
The Box Platform also had a record year in 2012. More than 17,000 developers are building custom apps and integrating with the platform. Additionally, Box more than doubled the number of apps available in the Box app store and ended the year with more than 300 OneCloud applications across iOS and Android. Further, the number of weekly users accessing third party applications through Box OneCloud grew by more than 200 percent, placing Box at the center of a tidal wave of growth in productivity applications optimized for post-PC devices.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings. Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Building actually breathes - immediately flagging overheating in a closet or over cooling in unoccupied ho...

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

IPO or exit ready? Reducing tax risk for growing companies
Malcolm Ellerbe, Tax Partner, Armanino
Sep 30 2015
63 mins
Sponsored by Avalara
Whether you're moving up from Quickbooks or have an enterprise level ERP, you know that you can't mess around with tax compliance. Imagine getting ready for IPO or hit that big buy from a major Fortune 100 company – and then find that the acquisition tanks due to a major liability in mismanaged sales tax. Ouch! Unfortunately, we've seen it happen time and again.
Let us help you get your organization ready for the next growth phase that will put you into the three comma club. We've rounded up some top-notch tax experts with lots of experience working with public and private high-growth tech companies – and they're not going to let you down in the clutch.
Tax partners Malcolm Ellerbe, David Sordello, and Jon Davies of the Silicon Valley company Armanino will sit down for an interactive chat with the VentureBeat audience – and are happy to take your questions as you navigate the ins and outs of sales tax in a mobile and startup culture.
In this webinar, you'll:
* Gain greater visibility to common sales tax loopholes that often snag hot tech startups and entrepreneurs

Localization and Translation - The biggest challenges you're probably facing
Wendy Schuchart, VentureBeat Analyst
Sep 29 2015
62 mins
Sponsored by Lionbridge
It's no secret – any well-known brand you see on a regular basis is already playing with a localization strategy to increase market reach. For your message to resonate, you need to be thinking not just at a regional level, but about your global customer experience.
Localization isn't limited to simple translation -- you can't set it and forget it. Companies shouldn't assume, for instance, that a campaign created for Spain will be equally as effective to all Spanish-speaking consumers in the U.S. or Mexico. It's not just language, but cultural differences. Consider the message you might send to someone in Berkeley, California, versus one you might send to someone in Phoenix, Arizona or New York City. And once your unique branding content has been sent out to different geographies, your localization efforts aren't over just yet. True experts understand that the campaign as a whole is not a sum of its parts -- a campaign's success can be in the granular regions, creating a truly unique customer experience with that added local flavor to resonate within the audience.
We'll walk you through the most common challenges that companies make and help you improve your campaign's quality, accuracy and relevance to reach the right consumer. We'll give tips on not only improving the localization process but help you deliver better metrics to senior leadership that tell the true story of your brand's globalization.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to:
- Re-think campaign creation at the regional level -- and the global one
- Effectively use in-market experts to drive better impact
- Make your branding as world-ready as possible.
- Use metrics to show the truest picture of your campaign's effectiveness
- Enhance the customer experience through storytelling and added local flavor

Geo-location and mobile marketing: Wherever they go, there you are
John Koetsier, VP Research, VentureBeat
Sep 23 2015
59 mins
Sponsored by FollowAnalytics
Since the beginning of time, marketers have understood that location matters. From putting guys on corners wearing sandwich boards to having airplanes dragging message banners, marketers use proximity marketing to snag hot prospects and leads when the moment is hot. Knowing where your customers are has never been easier, thanks to their own smartphone's internal GPS. Now you can target those prospects who are in the same state, city or even the same block as your salesman. Through geo-fencing and iBeacons you can even send a message to them the moment they step inside your store -- or try to lure them out of your competitor's store too.
The flip side? You risk creeping out and alienating your customer base. Don't know where to start? Want that next great idea? Our experts will talk through the basics to master level geolocation triggers through mobile marketing automation in a fast-paced discussion. Register today!
In this webinar, you'll
* Learn the difference between geo-fencing, geo-targeting and geolocation
* Discover the savvy geolocation techniques being used by today's top marketers
* Integrate geo-fencing or geo-targeting technologies into your marketing strategy, regardless of budget
* Understand how competitors may be luring your customers out of your business through their own geo-fencing activities on your own home turf.

BCI Webinar: Don't 'present'. Persuade!
Nathaniel Forbes MBCI
Sep 23 2015
36 mins
Well-known writer and presenter Nathaniel Forbes MBCI offers three simple steps to help you give more persuasive presentations.
Whether you're pitching business continuity management to the C-suite, pleading for your department's headcount or reporting post-exercise successes, you can move your audience to action with these three steps to a persuasive presentation.
1.Develop a 'story'.
The human brain has been wired for story since our ancestors drew on cave walls. Every disaster, every invocation, every successful recovery reveals stories of sacrifice, personal resilience and individual initiative. Behind the facts, there's a story in your presentation, too – one your audience will remember.
2.Make an emotional connection.
People may forget what you said, they may forget what you did, but they'll never forget how you made them feel. To move people to action - to make them care about business continuity - you must reach for their feelings. Gently…but intentionally.
3.Use pictures.
It's impossible for anyone to read and listen at the same time. Speaking over text bullets on a screen behind you is distracting and confusing to the audience. Instead, choose powerful images that make your point and support your story. The best ones are often the photographs you take yourself.

BARRINGTON – To say that Lexi Thompson has a busy week ahead doesn't exactly paint the entire picture.
Then again, Morgan Pressel isn't exactly idling away the hours herself.
Even though Thompson, a rising star on the LPGA Tour, has an eye on the U.S. Women's Open that's scheduled for later this week on Long Island's Sebonack Golf Club, the 18-year-old was dead set on coming to Rhode Island Country Club to participate in the CVS Caremark Charity Classic for the second straight year.
"I was honored to be back. Even though it's Open week, I was saying that I wanted to play in the CVS Classic. It was a pretty easy decision," stated Thompson after teaming up with partner Peter Jacobson to shoot a four-under 67 on Day 1 of the CVS. "It's such an amazing event with the amount of fans here and the great cause that they have."
In Pressel's case, her decision to come to RICC had little to do with defending her 2012 CVS crown, which she captured with Jay Haas. The 25-year-old resident of Boca Raton, Fla. admitted that with Open week, it's a time that's flush with distractions. By coming to Rhode Island, she hopes to avoid much of the hoopla by the time she touches down in the Empire State.
"I thought maybe coming here and having fun for a couple of days would be a nice and relaxing way to prepare," said Pressel after Monday's opening-round 62, a score that once again has Haas' name attached to it. "I've had so much fun over the handful of years I've been here that I really didn't want to miss it."
Upon finishing her duties here Tuesday, Thompson will board a private plane that will take her to Southampton, N.Y., where she plans to squeeze in a nine-hole practice round on what is a Jack Nicklaus-designed course.
Such an exit strategy is a far cry from how Pressel plans to tune up for Open.
"I've made plenty of preparations. I've played (Sebonack) four times, so I feel I could play tomorrow and know the golf course well enough. I don't feel like I'm missing practice rounds," said Pressel. "It will just be about getting out on Wednesday and seeing the speed of the greens and whether the course has changed since the last time I was there, that kind of stuff."
Part of the reason why Thompson, who has brother Curtis serving as her caddy following his tie for 12th place at this past week's Northeast Amateur, plans to depart rather quickly is that unlike Pressel, she's not familiar with the layout at Sebonack.
"I'm really excited to see that golf course. I've heard it's amazing," Thompson smiled. "I'll get in a practice-round-and-a-half at the Open, so I think that's enough. Open week is already mentally tough enough."
The rows of empty bleachers overlooking the 18th green accurately portrayed just how humid and sticky it was Monday. Cognizant of the weather, tournament officials distributed bottles of Poland Spring water throughout the day. The presence of on-site medics proved invaluable, especially late in the day when a few paying customers were spotted receiving medical attention.
As for the players, the sweltering conditions were hardly noticeable.
"We haven't seen it this hot in a while, but as (CVS participant and Oklahoma native Bo Van Pelt) noted, we've played in places hotter than this," said co-host and Barrington native Brad Faxon. "I think we're getting the same (hot weather on Tuesday)."
The mood around the golf course this week isn't exactly of the cutthroat nature that's normally seen on the professional circuit. Still, you won't hear any of the contestants complain about having a rare chance to let their hair down.
"Definitely more laid back," was the description 12-time PGA Tour winner Steve Stricker painted when asked to compare the CVS to the tension that typically permeates a marquee event like the Masters or U.S Open. "We're signing autographs between holes and talking to some of the spectators. It's all for a good cause and playing with good friends makes for a relaxing round.
"We're still trying to compete and do well, don't get us wrong, but it's still a lot of fun," Stricker continued.
Playing at a course that provides golfers with a chance to post numbers only enhances the experience.
"This is my first time around (Rhode Island Country Club); I've never been here before," said Stricker. "It's a fun layout and there's a lot of birdie opportunities. They can also put the pin in some tough spots where if you're not in the fairway, it's going to be tough to get to. Bo and his caddie led me around (Monday) a little bit and showed me where to go and what to do, but there's a lot of course knowledge that you need to have."
One of the more memorable sights on the day was seeing numerous youngsters – some from the San Miguel School of Providence – dressed head-to-toe in flashy and noticeable Puma gear. The children were paying homage to Rickie Fowler, who talked about making an impact with the younger generation after taking a few minutes to sign autographs and pose for pictures.
"For me to be able to walk inside the ropes each week and see kids wearing the Puma gear and rocking the hats, whether I'm having a good or bad day, it puts everything in perspective and puts a smile on my face," said Fowler.
From a financial aspect, the mission of the CVS Classic has always been to give back to the community. Another area where this annual staple is making a difference took center stage Monday as the first-ever "All Kids Can" three-hole challenge went on while the CVS field was on the course.
"We've got to try and grow the game somehow, and where else do you start but with the kids?" said Faxon.

Historical Traveler Reviews Soar Mill Cove Hotel Salcombe
Normal No Thank Goodness
Writing from the comfort of a complimentary laptop while staying at this charming hotel with my wife and baby. I would rarely been drawn to comment, but having followed the links from their website to yours I felt the need for clarity over the cost of a break at The Soar Mill Cove Hotel.
We will be paying �460 (note "the will be" - no give me your credit card as you arrive here!). For this we are enjoying 3 days and 2 nights of unashamed luxury, to be precise a very large and comfortable room with giant bed and spotlessly clean bathroom - not just clean but gleaming clean.
Then there's the view - a pure slice of heaven so dramatic that this cannot be understated. The previous reviewer seemed to think was a gift of nature, unfortunately these gifts actually require paying for otherwise I would have one too!
I can see the problem here though, its rather hard to describe, its a very unfussy sort of luxury totally unpretentious. I think its just that the same people have been doing it so long that its all so natural. It would not please a Golf Club mentality, where else would you find a wine list with a satisfaction guarantee that states (I guess a little tongue in cheek) that if you don't like the wine the proprietors wife will drink it! I don't think its ever going to appeal to bargain hunters, you see it only starts to register as a bargain when you realise all the good its done you and that's actually priceless to me.
Incidentally the wifi broadband service I am using is free of charge as is the cream tea that I am enjoying, local cream, homemade scones & even homemade jams - that's really the difference from the norm you see, everything's of a really good quality and they seem content not to try and sting you for all those little extras. You see I usually find bargains are never really that good when it comes down to detail.
Sorry to be leaving tomorrow, but great to have found a bolt hole so extraordinary.
I find it absolutely mind blowing that a small hotel in rural Devon (and its not the only one in this country) can charge �200 per night for bed and breakfast. I don't care how beautiful the sea is, that is nature's gift to us and it comes free. A 5 star hotel in London costs the same price as a rural bed and breakfast in rural England now and that cannot be right. As long as people are willing to pay these extortionate prices and getting duped into thinking this is value for money then i can't see the situation in the UK changing. May I add that elsewhere in Europe and the USA the cost (out of main cities) for this standard and BETTER is half the price. Mad dogs and Englishmen as they say.
Fabulous Experience
We have just returned from a long weekend at the Soar Mill Cove and cannot recommend it highly enough. The hotel nestles into the hillside in synergy with its surroundings and the welcome you receive is very warm and friendly; we arrived late but there was no problem in providing a cooked children's meal. The rooms are very clean and spacious and the sea facing rooms have spectacular views. Every effort had been made to accommodate our unusual family (comprising triplets and a further child 1 yr older) which we much appreciated. There is a children's tea where a really good selection of quality food is offered with varying specials each day - children can even have a fresh fruit knickbocker glory! The evening meal is an adult only affair which gives parents a relaxing time; the food is exquisite and the service attentive and friendly. All the staff have been at the hotel for a long time and are friendly and knowledgable and the owners are also on hand to exchange anecdotes & funny stories. Breakfast is for the whole family and the choice and quality is superb. The strength of this hotel is that is accommodates both children and adults without comprising either. There is a small indoor heated pool, a large chess set, a games room with billiards and table tennis, some small outside toys for tots and a large climbing frame with swings. In addition there is and loads of open space to fly kites, models planes or just run around. The hotel is ideally situated for long family walks and seashell hunting on the beach and the cream teas at the end of all that fresh air have to be eaten to be believed. All in all - one of the best we have come across and our family take some accommodating!
Delicious Devon
We welcomed the New Year in at Soar Mill Cove Hotel in Devon in a fantastic three night break. We were warmly welcomed by the host Keith Makepeace and were extremely well looked after from that point on. The family accomodation was superb with every luxury you could wish for.
The National Trust land surrounding the hotel enticed us to go out exploring. Our first walk led us across the downs to the Port Light Public House for some well deserved refreshment.
The food throughout our stay was absolutely delicious culminating in the excellent gourmet New Year's Eve dinner. There was a friendly house party atmosphere and with music and dancing we welcomed the New Year in in style.
A great start to the year and we will be going back soon!
Remote - but worth it
Generally a very positive experience. Current roadworks made the journey to the ralatively remote location more complicated, but well worth the effort. Plus, the location is part of its charm. Excellent food; polite, friendly and efficient staff; good accomodation with magnificent views. Although not sure the sea view supplement is good value - sea glimpse would be more accurate.
Brilliant Service
My wife and I went to the Soar Mill Coe for a relaxing weekend break, leaving the children with the grandparents. It was our first weekend away on our own for 4 years so we wanted serious relaxation. The Soar Mill Cove Hotel did not let us down. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left the staff could not have been more helpful. The hotel is unstuffy and dinner was informal (the last thing I wanted was to wear a jacket and tie when I wear them all week at work)the food was excellent and the breakfast perfect.
Soar Mill Cove is an excellent location for walking and we undertook a pleasant 3 hour walk to Salcombe and back around the coast on the first day. We also used the sauna and the pool my wife had a very reasonably priced and excellent massage.
The only negative comment is that some of the decor in the bar and longe could do with updating, but that may just be down to personal taste.
The weekend break represented good value for money and we will certainly return again.
Treat yourself - stay in this gorgeous hotel!
This is a wonderful hotel and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Friendly, attentive, professional staff; great food; amazing views of the hills and sea. Not all rooms have sea views but ours did, and I believe all the rooms have patios with sunloungers. I think it would be absolutely amazing in summer but it was great even in autumn - lovely sunsets over the sea!
The decor gives it quite a formal feel, and the other guests were indeed dressed quite formally, but then I guess it is a fairly expensive luxury hotel so that's probably to be expected! We slobbed out and got room service for most of our meals - there was no extra charge for this (gratuity at your own discretion) and they made the full menu available to us. The decor in the room is on the twee side, but I promise it won't bother you even if you are a fan of modern decor in hotels as I am - the rest of it is just too lovely for it to matter. We felt so pampered and lucky to be in such a lovely spot.
Just a tiny word of warning, the notice that says the towel rail is very hot - believe it!! If you have young kids, ask them to switch it off as they might burn themselves.
The hotel also has a health spa and pool which we didn't use (should have stayed longer) and a small games room with pool and table tennis, which added to the fun. Most rooms have video and CD players and you can borrow videos free from the bar.
Fulfilled all the promises made in the brochure
The Makepeace families hands on approach to hotelkeeping is a refreshing change to the faceless big company alternative. We returned from three magical days, where all the promises made in the brochure were fullfilled and in many cases exceeded. Gargantuous cream tea on arrival with homemade everything, lovely private room, rather quaintly named "Up Above", breathtaking scenery and probably the best English summer weather in years.
Whilst there we checked out The Marine, l had remembered old aunts talking about fondly when I was too young to be allowed there it seemed to be almost an institution to them, it now seemed to be about as welcoming as "An Institution", I enclose a review of this.
Great Sax!
This has got to be unique, a real eclectic mix of old world hospitality and modern London service standards - a genuine team of friendly staff, contemporary rooms with big comfy beds, most have views to take your breathe away.
We had a superior room for 2, it certainly had the wow factor - had a look in what they call their "Classic's" they seemed just as smart but not quite as big and without the sea view.
The last reviewer is correct that they are certainly not cheap, however they give more than I have ever experienced without looking out to get the last penny all the time, which really is quite refreshing. Unless you are going to order Lobster (which we did and it was Brilliant) there don't seem to be the usual supplements that so many others charge. At the end of the day you get what you pay for and I found it to represent good value.
Dinner is a real event, the food is serious stuff and they take the organic local ingredients approach, which I really appreciate. The owner introduced himself on our first night, and seemed to really care that we had all the information we needed to make the most of our stay. I guess one thing that helps this place is that he is just a nice young guy, insists on just been called Keith and all the staff seem to genuinely like working there.
All the staff are stars, but I must mention their Polish restaurant manager - Sylvester very charismatic with a lovely dry sense of humour and oh, so handsome!
We enjoyed their "Devonshire Breakfast" each morning, I opted for the "Bungalow" (half sized) sized option as they call it and my partner enjoyed a "Mansion" (double sized!), we enjoyed this delivered to our patio with a glass of really fresh juices and some good strong coffee. Okay its England so we were wrapped up in a blanket as it still seemed cool, but England is hard to beat when you find a real gem and this is one that I want to make my one special bolthole.
We had a nose at some of the other hotels in and around Salcombe, the Marine looked awful- cheap but it looked it, faceless big company, Tides Reach looked smart, but Soar Mill Cove just seems to have an undefineable somthing that makes it a special place.
We paid �299 each for 3 nights including a calorie busting cream tea when we arrived, dinner each night and the breakfasts. The Lobster cost us �15 extra, but the room service was free and well I wont say how much wine we drank but we took the wine waiters recommendation each night and it was faultless. They offer an unusual guarantee, which I have never seen elsewhere - If you don't like the wine you have chosen, then just don't pay for it! You can't get fairer than that. Bill inc everything was about �700. Not cheap, but then this is not the Holiday Inn, its for special occasions and for re charging worn down batteries. What you're getting is top London style in the country and then you realise you would have to pay a fortune for this back in town.
Yes, the Sax was great, however this would be my only complaint he only plays on Saturdays apparently so time your stay with care!
Nice but expensive
This small hotel is suited at the top of a beautiful cove. The view from the sea facing rooms are very nice. You can walk down to the cove, and along the cliffs, though it is quite steep. The hotel itself, incommon with many other 'luxury' hotels in devon and cornwall, is very expensive. In this case they at least have 4 stars from the AA and RAC, most others have no stars at all and charge the same or greater money. The rooms are very good and clean, though not luxurious. This is a family friendly hotel, with lots of outdoor things for the kids, such as climbing frames, mini golf and play room with snooker and table tennis. They provide childrens meals, either from the menu or your own preference. A fridge in the room for baby's milk would have been nice, though they did supply fresh milk for your morning tea each evening. The restaurant is a 'gourmet' one. The food is very good. If you are staying there for more that a long weekend, you may want to try somewhere else to eat, just to break things up. After 3 days of gourmet food, fish and chips from the holiday caravan site at the top of the hill seemed very attractive!. Breakfasts are good. As usual picture of the hotel indoor pool makes it look very much bigger than it actually is, though it is ideal for children. The staff were very friendly, and service in the restaurant was faultless. The only negative things, 1. The price of wine was excessive and 2. They provide travel cots for babies (as most hotels do) rather than the more confortable and larger wooden cots. You need a car to go anywhere. They also provide a small library and a cupboard full of board games. Call the hotel direct to negotiate the best deal, which will only work out of the main july/august season.

This is the MOST perfect time of year, most definitely my favorite. I love the weather and all of the changing colors and all of the apple cider up in my face. This has also been the busiest month so far (probably the busiest since Max was born!) and I can't wait to take our favorite fall drive in another week or two. Today is actually our wedding anniversary (!!!) so we will probably eat some delicious food and go play outside!
Next week we are heading to NYC for some work things, but since I can't leave my little chubbanugget for a moment, he's coming along. Baby friendly ideas?
