Historical Traveler Reviews Swallow Glasgow
Good Service, Hotel Bit Past Its Best Though
This is the Swallow near Ibrox Stadium. Easy link to Glasgow city centre via underground which is only 5mins away. Good service from staff, meals good. Overall hotel needs a good update!! ie decorating & new carpet would improve it 100%. Leisure Club also needs revamp, although pool & aminities were clean. Enjoyed our stay, would go back but only if it were cheaper than similar hotels.
Don't go!
I booked a room for my dad in the swallow hotel because I wanted him to have a special few days away. I was originally going to book the travel lodge along the road but opted for the more expensive option of this hotel.
On the first night I asked reception for a remote control for my dad's TV. The girl on reception said she would try to look one out. After an hour and a half of sitting in the bar I approached reception again. I was told that there wasn't a remote control. When I told the receptionist that my dad had already fallen on his way into the hotel due to lack of handrails beside the steps she couldn't of cared less. I explained that my dad is not steady on his feet and to expect him to get out of bed to switch of the TV is out of the question. She shrugged and said that she just didn't have one. The manager then stepped in and sorted the problem.
On the next afternoon we came back into the hotel to have coffee with my dad to be told in a very unpleasant manner that the bar was closed due to a new carpet being fitted. This was then changed and we were sat in a cold bar listening to hammering to have our coffee. I was appalled at the attitude of this another receptionist.
Overall my dad's experience was a terrible one and I was really surprised, shocked does not seem like too strong a word at the attitude and treatment from the receptionists.
Finally I have travelled a lot and have stayed in hotels Europe wide and I cannot justify the �50 a night for a very small basic room and atrocious staff.
Slightly aging.....
We stayed here recently for a weekend shopping break (away from the kids!!). On checking in (admittedly quite late - 8PM) our room card had been hand amended to a different room. On going to the room we were given it had not been cleaned, it was a total mess, uneaten food, slept in bed linen and dirty towels everywhere and the toilet....well lets not go there.... Clearly they had given our original room to someone else since we were a late check in as this one had not been cleaned. The fact that it still wasn't when we got there was, to say the least, a bit shoddy. Since there were no other rooms (apart from a smoking one - no thanks!) we had to go to the bar and wait for it to be cleaned, we were however given a complimentary drink. Aside from that, I would need to say that it is an aging hotel. The leisure suite (part of our reason for booking here) is OK though and there is an undergound rail station around 5 mins walk away which takes you right into town in 5-10 mins for �1. The breakfast is also very nice (buffet style), the bar staff friendly and there was a very nice reception girl called Susan who let us park our car in the car park after we had checked out in order to make the very short walk to Ibrox Park (Rangers FC) to see my team (Aberdeen FC) play on the Sunday. Overall, I would stay again if I was going to the football otherwise I will likely stay in something a bit more upmarket.
It was ok
My husband and I had read some reviews so we were expecting the worse. The Hotel was far from the city center of Glasgow so I wouldn't go here if I were looking to be near restaurants and pubs. On checking in, the staff was very cold and not very informative. When we asked where she would recommend a light lunch, she directed us to walk down to the gas station store down the road. The beds were soft. The room needed to be aired out because it smelled like smoke. The shower pressure though was really good and the breakfast was great!
Nice friendly atmosphere
We recently visited Glasgow to attend a concert and stayed 2 nights, we found the room very comfortable, the buffet breakfast outstanding and the staff could not have been more helpful. It is only a 5 minute walk to the nearest underground station and the city centre is but a few minutes away. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Glasgow
Loved the Hotel
I had the pleasure of staying in the Swallow Hotel on a recent visit to Scotland. On arrival I was greeted by warm and friendly staff who couldnt be more helpful. Dining in the restaurant was a wonderful experience with top class food and the best waiting staff i have ever come across. I would definetely recommend anyone coming to Glasgow stay in the Swallow and sample some of the pleasures we enjoyed. Ten out of Ten! Will definetely be back!
Loved the hotel
We have visited the Swallow hotel on numerous occasions and found it to be a very friendly hotel. We were there on Saturday 24th April along with my parents. We had a first class room with a new TV and everything was spotless. The meal at night was first class and the waiters were very helpful. The breakfast in the morning was buffet service and again we couldnt complain. We will be back to the same hotel very shortly.
The Appalling Swallow Hotel in Glasgow
I totally agree that the Swallow Hotel in Glasgow is appalling. I visited Glasgow last weekend, and as soon as we arrived we felt very unwelcome. The Staff took their time to see to us, were very rude and unhelpful. When we were checking in they asked us how we would like to pay, when I said we had paid they told me that they couldn� t take my word for that and we would have to sort it out in the morning. We then went to our room to find the hall roof looked as if it was going to fall down. We entered the room to fine mould and dampness along the window and all over the curtains and blinds, toilet roll looked if it had been flushed down the loo and dried and the bed sheets well I wouldn� t exactly call them bed sheets more like woolly blankets, which looked like they hadn� t been washed. When I went back down stairs to sort the payment out the Manager and staff was very rude, unhelpful basically couldn� t be bothered to help us. We therefore decided to check out. Thank goodness I have managed to get my money back. I would advise anyone who wishes to stay in Glasgow don� t stay there.
The worst hotel in Scotland
What an absolute disgrace of a hotel. The check-in staff were very sloppy, i waited 5 minutes before someone attended to me and carried on a conversation when taking my details. The room was filthy, the tv was faulty, there was a damp patch on the wall, cigarette stubs on the floor, the room service was virtually non-existent, the restaurant was a disgrace too.The breakfast consisted of undercooked eggs, overcooked sausages, disgusting mushrooms and cheap supermarket beans. I felt most unwelcome in the breakfast room, the staff looked dirty and a complete disgrace to the catering profession.I advise any visitors to glasgow to give this one a miss, unless they like the fawlty towers tv show.
Hogmanay Gala
My husband, two friends and myself went to the Swallow hotel for dinner, entertainment and overnight accommodation on Hogmanay 2003. It was a brilliant night.
To be honest I was not sure about booking this hotel as I had driven passed it before and it did not look that nice. However, looks can be deceiving ...... the hotel was very nice inside. The rooms were of standard sizing and clean.
The Gala was great fun. The food was great, the staff were great and the entertainment was great. And their cocktails were rather tasty too.
If you get a chance to stay in this hotel or attend an event, I would recommend that you go.

Military: The Obama administration putting women into combat shows that radical feminism has come a long way, baby. Come the next major war will our daughters be drafted into an emasculated service?
'Your mother wears combat boots" used to be a joke. We may soon see how funny American mothers think it is when their daughters are being raped in POW camps.
Signs of the decline of civilization are all around us, but sending the fairer sex to the front lines with bayonets and grenades is especially ominous.
The Pentagon on Thursday officially lifted the ban on women in the U.S. military serving in combat, to be phased in over three years, as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta argued that females have already experienced the "reality of combat" in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
It may seem like a stretch to warn that drafting teenage girls is upon us, but consider what happened after President Carter, in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Iranian hostage crisis, called for mandatory Selective Service registration for all young men.
As former Investor's Business Daily Washington bureau chief Brian Mitchell pointed out in his 1999 book "Women in the Military: Flirting With Disaster," the legislation Carter sent to Congress the next week "included young women on an equal basis with young men" in Selective Service, because according to Carter "there is no distinction possible ... that would allow me to exclude women from an obligation to register."
Fortunately, Congress — under Democratic control, no less — swiftly squashed the idea of forcing women to register for a potential wartime draft.
On cue, the ACLU and the radical National Organization for Women sued and in 1981, by a frighteningly slim 6-3 majority, the Supreme Court ruled against them, affirming that a men-only draft is not unconstitutional. But when President Obama gets a couple more high court appointments how long will that precedent survive?
James Webb, the highly decorated Vietnam Marine vet who just retired as Democratic senator representing Virginia, penned a famous Washingtonian article in 1979 entitled "Women Can't Fight."
The article has haunted Webb and probably stopped any chance he had of being Obama's 2008 running mate. In it, he argued that "no benefit to anyone can come from women serving in combat" and that "their presence at institutions dedicated to the preparation of men for combat command is poisoning that preparation," in particular Webb's alma mater, the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
Webb dared to say that "men fight better. We can try to intellectualize that reality away, and layer it with debates on role conditioning versus natural traits, but it manifests itself in so many ways that it becomes foolish to deny it."
Webb also noted that "men fight better without women around."
Women in combat would hurt America in another big way, not addressed by Webb but which suits radical feminists and other leftists just fine.
It is this: Women infantry could mean this country would hesitate to go to war when we must.
Leadership: In his self-congratulatory memoir, "Courage To Act," former Fed chief Ben Bernanke takes credit for saving the economy after the financial crisis. Actually, the Fed's actions made things far worse. 'When the economic well-being of their nation demanded a strong and creative response, my ...

Ideology: In the absence of food, a Venezuelan governor exhorts locals to eat "fried rocks" to defend La Revolucion. It's just socialism's latest lunacy.

Och-Ziff Capital Management Group said it has been ensnared in a Japanese fraud.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the New York-based hedge fund lost about US$77 million in the scheme, which also caught Lehman Brothers. Och-Ziff said that the loss has already been written off and was reflected in the newly-public firm's most recent results statement.
The fraud allegedly involved employees of Japanese trading firm Marubeni Corp., and began in November. Those Marubeni staffers seem to have used the firm's offices, computers and letterheads to raise phony bridge loans for Japanese hospitals to buy new medical equipment. A Hong Kong-based Och-Ziff affiliate made the loans, the firm said.
Lehman Brothers last month field suit in Tokyo seeking to retrieve its US$344 million. It names Marubeni as a defendant, though the trading firm denies any involvement and said that Lehman should have been "suspicious" about the allegedly phony documents.
"The investment, which has not yet been recovered, is not material to any of Och-Ziff's funds or to its publicly-traded holding company," Och-Ziff said in a statement. "The firm is currently pursuing all avenues to recover its investment.
Och-Ziff, one of the largest hedge fund managers in the world with more than $32 billion in assets under management, went public in November.

An expanded effort on providing financial technology to countries abroad is one of the ways Fiserv Inc. intends to grow, the company's chief executive said Wednesday.
During the company's annual shareholders meeting at its headquarters in Brookfield, Jeff Yabuki said the company is focused on outsourced banking services in some of the European markets and wants to sell more mobile banking and payment services around the world.
He said international business now accounts for about 7% of the company's total revenue.
Talking with reporters after the meeting, Yabuki said Asia has the most growth potential, but that many countries around the world offer opportunities.
"Geographic barriers are going away, so it's a much smaller world," Yabuki said. "Today, it's very hard to move money outside country lines. And I think you'll see that start to change. So it won't necessarily be, 'What's going on in this country or this country?' It will be, 'What's going on globally and how do the different technology providers — from my perspective technology providers — interface with kind of that new paradigm.'"
Investing in security
Responding to a question from a shareholder about Fiserv's emphasis on security in the aftermath of the Target breach, Yabuki said security has been one of the company's biggest areas of investment over the last five or six years. Still, he said, Fiserv reviewed all of its processes after the Target breach.
"It's a very significant priority for us," he said. "You will continue to see us invest in there."
Also at the meeting:
■Yabuki was asked what he thought about the virtual currency Bitcoin. He said it has some "pretty important sponsors" and might have an impact. "In my own opinion — and this is my opinion — I don't know that we need a new currency system in the U.S. I think the system that we have today works rather well," he said.
■Yabuki noted that Fiserv is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and he paid tribute to company "innovators" such as George Dalton, Ken Jensen, Pete Kight and Don Dillon. He didn't mention co-founder Les Muma, the man Yabuki succeeded as CEO after his retirement in 2005 and who last year raised eyebrows by joining the board of Fiserv's archrival, the Florida company FIS. A shareholder who identified herself as a retired employee pointed out the omission.
"Les clearly was an important part in the history of the company. Thank you for reminding me," Yabuki said.

The scientists found the sperm whales had a different mechanism for protecting themselves from the sun, triggering a stress response in their genes. Newcastle University researcher Amy Bowman added: "We saw for the first time evidence of genotoxic pathways being activated in the cells of the whales this is similar to the damage response caused by free radicals in human skin which is our protective mechanism against sun damage."
In contrast, the darkest whales, the deeply pigmented fin whales, were found to be resistant to sun damage showing the lowest prevalence of sunburn lesions in their skin.
Karina Acevedo-Whitehouse, currently Senior Lecturer at the Universidad Autnoma de Quertaro, Mexico and joint senior author of the paper said: "There has been an increase in the number of reports on blister-type skin lesions in various whale species in areas of high UV radiation. In many cases no infectious microorganism has been found associated with these lesions. It's important that we study the effect of UV radiation on whale skin and the mechanisms that these species use to counteract such damage, both from an evolutionary approach and from a conservation perspective."
To carry out the research the Newcastle University team had to develop an analysis which allowed three whale genomes to be analysed at the same time, a difficult task as whales have very different sequences. This research is the first time that whales have been studied at a genetic level linking to migratory patterns and genetic damage.
"We need to investigate further what is happening," said Professor Birch-Machin, "if we are already seeing blistered skin in the whales caused by UV damage then we want to know whether this could develop into skin cancer and therefore serve as an ear

I intended to write that first paragraph in yellow text, but couldn't figure out how to get the text editor to do that. Apparently, the MGoTextEditor is more intelligent than our athletic director. I will say in his defense, the jerseys probably looked fine indoors, it's just that nobody thought to see what they looked like in natural light, or during a really sunny day in Florida. I lived in Michigan for 26 years, and remember those cold, grey winters when all you wanted was just to see the sun shine to remind you that a life-giving force existed in the universe.
"He makes it really easy on you as a coach because he has tremendous football instincts," Michigan tight ends coach Jay Harbaugh said. "Things come really naturally to him. He doesn't have to see things too many times. He has a good sense for how things should look and feel, and he's a tough, physical guy."

Update on Jose AlfredoJosé decided to seek a new loan because he needs to rent two manzanas (about 3.5 acres) of land to be able to farm in the next year. With this, he will be certain to continue to do agricultural work.
He feels that working with loans has permitted him to have a greater capacity for growing crops. The production has been abundant. Everyone in his family is well. His economic capacity has increased to cover the necessities of his household.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Product Details
Universal Air Spring Solenoid by Air Lift®. These are individual replacement solenoid components found in Air Lift air suspension systems. These air spring solenoids are available in multiple port sizes, flow rates, and maximum psi ratings. All feature a threaded female orifice, and larger solenoids are available with integrated mounting brackets.
- 1/8th-inch Air Spring Solenoid is used primarily with the LoadController I Air Compressor System (Separate Path, Daily Use version)
- 1/8th-inch FNPT solenoid features a 5/64th-inch diameter female orifice rated for 140 psi maximum pressure
- 3/8th"FNPT solenoid features a 3/8th"diameter female orifice rated for 300 psi maximum pressure, with a 2.8 Cv flow rate
- 3/8th"FNPT solenoid is available with or without a built-in mounting plate
- 1/2-inch FNPT solenoid features a ½-inch diameter female orifice rated for 300 psi maximum pressure, with a 5.5 Cv flow rate
- Electric solenoid valve opens and closes to allow airflow into or out of your air spring
- Free-flowing, large-capacity valves are designed for fast ride-height adjustments
- Effectively regulates air spring psi pressure
- Corrosion-resistant construction ensures solenoid will not warp, crack, or degrade under dirty, grimy operating conditions
- Wiring lead included
- Proudly manufactured in the United States
Air pressure naturally changes with ambient temperature, approximately 1 psi for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The air pressure in your air springs is under variation because of this and other factors constantly. During the time moisture is removed from your air suspension system by the built-in drier to prevent corrosion, pressure also changes. When air is squeezed by your compressor unit into the springs, it's at a hotter temperature which eventually cools down – changing the spring pressure as it does. And when one side of your vehicle is parked in the sun, it causes an uneven rise in pressure as well. To ensure even, consistent air pressure inflation throughout your air suspension system, reliable pressure switches are very important.
Air Lift offers Air Spring Solenoids in a variety of sizes to handle up to 300 psi and 5.5 gallons of flow per minute. Each solenoid valve opens and closes on command to allow air pressure to flow from your compressor into your spring when inflation pressure becomes lower than a pre-determined minimum setting. Once a maximum pressure has been reached, the solenoid valve closes and the spring is sealed. Air Lift builds solenoids out of corrosion-resistant materials that have been tested to withstand great pressures and temperatures without warping, cracking, or degrading – providing a long lifetime of worry-free service on your vehicle. 3/8th- and 1/2-inch solenoids feature a chrome finish that provides good looks to match the high style of your entire suspension package and vehicle.67.54 111.72
Founded in 1949 in Lansing, Michigan, Air Lift® pioneered the first rubber air bladder that fit inside coil springs to give pickups and other transport vehicles greater load-leveling and ride-stabilizing abilities. These found wide acceptance on commercial vehicles and were soon adopted throughout NASCAR and other professional stock car racing series after assisting many drivers to achieve victorious finishes. Over the decades, Air Lift® has continued to pioneer innovative developments with air spring helpers and stand-alone air springs for mobile homes, ambulances, and heavy trucks. During the 1990s, the company was on the cutting edge – developing high-performance air springs and complete air suspension systems that allowed extreme lowering, stunts, and higher levels of handling during aggressive driving. Today, Air Lift® is ISO 9001:2008 certified for best business practices, manufacturing, and customer satisfaction and their range of high-quality products is widely respected throughout the industry. CARiD offers the Air Lift® full lineup of full air suspension kits, coil spring helpers, air springs, compressors, air tanks, and more at prices that can't be beat.

Welcome to our template!
Are you wondering why your wiki page changed? We hope it is for the better?
You can revert back to the original by ...
Or make further changes using these hints
The template itself take it away TAB...
--Brobof 09:03, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Don't change occupations' pages without consultation, please
Whilst this is all very Hi Tech and wonderful Perhaps many occupations might be slightly intimidated on all the data you are requesting? Let the wiki grow organically? Rather than hierarchically? Just a thought Brobof 20:48, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
Are you asking the various Occupations permission before rolling out your changes. I regard this as vandalism and await a response! Brobof 18:54, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
If you feel I am 'requesting data' then then you misunderstand my approach, which is to take a superset of what the different occupies are using ang include that in the template - so that occupies can be see a list of the technologies each other are using. No one is forced to fill out anything. Each page should have, as a minimum, a location, a home (i.e. any URL) and a summary (which can be as short as one word). Tab 19:05, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
Yes. But use history to see what the page looks like This is as much about presentation than anything else. Birmingham looks better NOW ;) On a point of principal: surely it is up to each individual Occupation to define how they want their page to look rather than you acting unilaterally! Some of our contributors may not be as organised as you would like them to be.
I would suggest that at the very least you contact the Occupation and let them know you are editing their page Brobof 22:44, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
Suggestion noted. I agree that presentation is important; I am currently using this template on the rather perfunctory pages, e.g. Leicester, Leeds, Newcastle etc. which are basically just a list of contact details anyway, to increase their appeal. Tab 04:48, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Yes I know! And they arrive and see it is all being done *for* them... Disincentivization! Would it not be better if you contact THEM and ask them to contribute. Personally I just draw their attention to the facility. Eventually someone from the local Occupation will take up the challenge and benefit from the learning experience! Like me!
However this gives me an idea. Why not an Occupy UK contacts page using your template with a simply worded intro/ welcome for the non techie on how to fill in? Imagine you are a complete beginner to computing or indeed a complete technophobe.
PS I would remove telephone numbers too. Forum is too public. Twitter and Facebook have privacy filters. Perhaps expand upon the https://occupywiki.org.uk/Twitter page? Brobof 07:27, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Have blocked you for 2 hours Think seriously about what you are doing! Case in point: Exeter before. Exeter now. Their page was perfectly adequate before you arrive and make a mess of it! It was also Maurice's Brobof 07:47, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
A passer-by's opinion
For what it's worth, the M.O. of Occupy seems to be to respect people's boundaries and work for consensus. Don't unilaterally impose structures, tell people what the benefits are and get enough of them to agree, or at least not object. I have considerable sympathy with just getting on and doing stuff, but you don't need to trample on people's toes (indiscriminately ;) to do that. I disagree with Brobof on his disincentivization point, though it may be necessary to explain that having nothing but a template is a bit woeful. I think a welcome page is a great idea, will add a note to myself to have a go at that, though don't let that stop you doing it. Thisland 08:26, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Re disincentivization (thank heavens for cut and paste ;) ...I am quite happy for Tab to add and improve existing content! You will note that I have only rolled back the deletion of Exeter's welcome. Substituting a rather terse here we are FULL STOP.
I am concerned about people in photos tho. Permissions? Copyright? What is OK for a local facebook page may not be so for the Official Occupy UK wiki! This is -imho- a more serious endeavour! Twitter avatars should be ok Public domain etc But in the final analysis the site should be outsourced as much as possible.
Views from other contributors? Move this page to a discussion board as it is more generic than the Template issue? Waiting Is Brobof 08:43, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Nobody here owns content
ATM there is only a minor amount of information marked as "required"; if you have a major problem with any of them, you can argue why, and change this requirement.
Nobody is forcing an occupation page to have templates. As general editors of the wiki however, we will edit any page we see fit. Nobody owns content here either. If an occupation really doesn't like using the template on "their page", they can bring up the issue, and we'll take it into account.
However Brobof that is not what you were doing - you were attempting to revert the idea of the template as a whole. There was no structural difference in what you were doing and what Tab was doing. If his changes are "hierarchical" then so were yours. But global change is not necessarily hierarchical, nor non-organic. All it is, is work on a different scale. This sort of high-level work is vital to organise efficiently.
The contact idea is good though, we should definitely do that. :)
In any case none of this warrants a block because it prevents discussion. Blocks should only be used for spammers/liars. Infinity0 12:07, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Another reason is that the decision is not symmetrical with respect to the parties. We are giving out admin rights quite freely here. If Tab had been an admin and was using your logic Brobof ("you're editing the wiki in a way I disagree with"), he could have just as rightly blocked you for 2 hours. Infinity0 12:11, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
If you feel the 2 hour time out Tab got was harsh, I think taking admin-ship from Brobof is WAY OVER THE TOP, all because Tab would not stop defacing people's occupy page and 1-2 admins could not be bothered to look more into the problem. I HAVE looked more in the situation!, & again I agree with Brobof's decision on the 2 hour ban of Tab. Occupy Soton 17:15, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- I did look into the problem. It's a fair point about the de-admin being harsh, I'll talk over the issue with chris, but it doesn't matter in the end if he's going to go off in a strop and not come back. Repeating "defacement" doesn't convince me - please explain why you consider it to be defacement. Infinity0 19:41, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- Have you BOTHERED to contact Brobof, tried e-mailing or tweeting him? It is defacement cos its changing the look of an occupy groups page without their knowledge or asking the group first. Occupy Soton 11:35, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- A email list was set up for discussing wiki matters of this nature but Brobof made it clear on this wiki that he didn't want to use email to discuss matters related to this wiki. Some Occupy groups are using this wiki more than others and I suspect some occupation pages haven't been created or edited by anyone from that occupation. Admin rights have been given out to people to help cope with the spam -- not for people to block other people when the disagree with them -- this isn't an appropriate use of admin rights. Chris Sun Nov 27 12:20:29 GMT 2011
- WHAT else could Brobof have DONE, other than block Tab? Tab was clearly carrying on adding the template to peoples occupy page and REFUSING to discuss the promlem. Occupy Soton 12:43, 27 November 2011
- He could have not blocked Tab and continued to discuss the matter. Chris Sun Nov 27 14:31:37 GMT 2011
The Occupy Template
IMO it looks UGLY, compared to the page before having the Template forced on it.
You say nobody is forcing an occupy group to have the template, but simple fact YOU ARE!, by the fact Tab and or yourself Infinity0 are adding the template to people's occupy pages. Why not ASK the occupy group if they want the template, BEFORE adding it to the occupy page. Why covertly FORCE people to have the template. Occupy Soton 13:48, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- If you think it's ugly, you could suggest changes. Just because we are doing something you don't like doesn't mean it's being forced. Apply your own logic to yourself, if we are forcing you, you are also forcing us. Infinity0 19:41, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- STOP USING it till the template issue to resolved. STOP ADDING IT to peoples occupy pages, give them the CHOICE of using the template or not. Get peoples (for example other admins) opinon in WHAT info to have in the template. Occupy Soton 12:13, 27 November 2011
- If we need to ask in advance permission for everything, nothing will get done. People can always revert a change. However I can't accept someone just asserting their way of doing things is correct, then attempting to enforce this by blocking someone. Infinity0 19:41, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- Brobof was NOT asserting that his way of doing things is right, he was trying to discuss the problem with Tab, yet Tab just carried on changing peoples occupy pages, WHICH IS TOTALLY WRONG. So Brobof did (IMO) the only thing he could do, which was block/ban Tab for a few hours. So as Tab would STOP forcing the template on peoples occupy pages, without speaking to that person or group.
- But Tab just makes another account, so getting round the temp block & inflames the whole situation. WHY could have Tab not waited it out, then come back & ask Brobof why he was blocked. Tab SHOULD have stopped adding the template to the occupy pages , could have put the template into the occupy groups TALK PAGE - which would give people the OPTION to use it or not OR BTTER STILL spoken to the occupy group. You're basically saying to a occupy group "You're not doing your page correctly, do it this way" Occupy Soton 12:10, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- Blocking Tab prevents him from participating in discussion. Changing occupy pages is not "totally wrong", nobody owns the content. And this quote - "I regard this as vandalism" - is not assuming good faith. This implicitly asserts that your position is the correct one. Infinity0 13:47, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- What? discussion Tab was refusing to do? Brobof as an admin was asking Tab to STOP so as they could both discuss the matter & and maybe even discuss what info to HAVE in the template. Occupy Soton 14:54, 27 November 2011
- I agree that Tab should have talked the issue over with Brobof before proceeding with more edits, but this doesn't justify a block. We can always revert changes to a few pages, but blocking prevents discussion. Infinity0 13:47, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- I think it DID justify a block, since Tab was carrying on with adding the template and not disscussing it. A number of times Brobof was saying stop, should discuss this. STOP, SHOULD DISCUSS THIS. STOP, SHOULD DISCUSS THIS So in the endTab was given a 2 hour block. Occupy Soton 14:54, 27 November 2011
- Having reviewed the log again I see that Brobof issued the block about 20 minutes after giving a response to Tab on this talk page. This is not a reasonable time to expect replies. Further, I wish to strongly discourage this idea that the occupation pages are somehow "owned" by the original authors, who therefore have more "right" to edit that page and need asking for permission. This sort of attitude is extremely counterproductive. This is essentially what you and Brobof are suggesting, and for me to agree with your block would be agreeing with this attitude. See ownership of articles for more information. Infinity0 00:23, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- Simple question IS, do you want to INCULDE or EXCULDE people in using this wiki? Cos by you saying you want to EXCULDE people from using the wiki, have I got that right Infinity? Occupy Soton 09:06, 28 November 2011
- If people can't understand the basic principles that online collaborative projects work under, yes I do want to exclude them. Infinity0 10:01, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- So there you have it folks, the 'owner/s' do nott want people to use the site. You can't be BOTHERED contacting the occupy group. You do not care to encourge the occupy group the maintain their page. What is the point of even HAVING this wiki then? Why not just get rid of the whole wiki? Occupy Soton 10:59, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- In fact FUCK THIS, I feel that strongly about this, that I will be deleting my groups wiki page. All this shit over Brobof's 2 hour block on Tab. Ban For all I care will only go to show how dictatorial you are Occupy Soton 10:59, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- Oh no I'm such a dictator. Go start your own wiki with your stupid rule about owning pages and see how far that goes. Infinity0 19:02, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- In the case of the occupations, it makes even less sense. Nobody owns the occupations; not even the people that help to maintain their pages on this wiki. They are just delegates, they have no authority over the content. Instead of arguing nonsense about who has rights over what page, just get the fuck on with improving it. Any further points you make about "rights" and "need permission" I will just disregard. That is not how online collaborative projects operate. Infinity0 00:23, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- Who has said the someone 'owns' an occupation? NO ONE, you're just inventing rubbish out of thin air Infinity. All I am saying is to CONTACT and ASK the Occupy person who is dealing with the groups Occupy page, if they would mind if an template was added to their groups Occupy page. Also YES It is an INSULT to the person dealing with an Occupy page in changing their page in a big way WITHOUT asking And NOTHING you Infinity or anyone says will change that FACT Occupy Soton 08:33, 28 November 2011
- Dude, are you fucking even reading what I'm writing? There is NO NEED to contact them about the page. If ONE PERSON does not have a good reason for editing pages, I will still revert them. We will not allow anybody to make arbitrary changes to pages and start acting like they have more right to edit them like the rest of us. Infinity0 10:01, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- It is not an insult. If you think it is an insult, you can piss off. Seriously, get the fuck out and stop editing. We don't have time for people who think they have more rights than other people here. Nobody here owns pages, nobody here has more right to a page than anyone else. See this article. If you think this, you are NOT a collaborative editor, and we don't want you editing the wiki. Infinity0 10:04, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thhnk you, FINALLY Infinity admits that YES they ARE forcing a template on the smaller occupy groups without consent. END OF. If anyone changed MY GROUPS page in a big way without consulting me, I would be VERY VERY pissed off Occupy Soton 10:59, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- IT IS NOT "YOUR GROUP". Fuck! How do you not understand this concept?? Stop forcing the template away from occupy groups without consent. Infinity0 19:02, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- It is better to be bold and go ahead editing rather than awaiting permission, otherwise nothing gets done. I support reasonable good-faith attempts to improve the wiki. Asking all previous authors for permission is unrealistic and in online collaborative projects, nobody does this. Infinity0 13:47, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yea that maybe so, but not if you have not even bothered to contact the occupy group or person dealing with the page. Occupy Soton 14:54, 27 November 2011
- The entire point is that contacting each occupy group is not necessary. I have other things to do than contact every author of a page asking permission for edits. Why don't you do this, if you care so much? You are the one that thinks this is necessary, not me. Infinity0 00:03, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- YES I will be, since NO ONE is going to bother contacting the occupy groups Occupy Soton 08:33, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- We are not going to force the template on occupations, but if there is no specific complaint I will add it because I think it's the right thing to do. The template can always be changed if people thinks it looks bad, and individual occupations can override if they really have a massive problem with it, but there's a benefit to having a consistent structure.
- If you improve the looks of the template, you improve it on all pages - another benefit, efficiency-wise. It's also easier for people to set up, rather than having to worry about formatting the page. Infinity0 19:55, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Wait a response
I have contcted these Occupy groups > Bradford, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Norwich, so I ask anyone reading this to WAIT for a response. IF there has been no response in say 3 days (at a minimum though would be nicer if people could wait for a week) then ok fair dos. Occupy Soton 09:49, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Community holds vigil for Carly FerroSeptember 27,2012Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
A candlelight vigil in memory of Carly Ferro was held Thursday evening on the front lawn of Rutland High School where Ferro was a student.A hundred or more students, teachers and administrators gathered in front of Rutland High School tonight to honor one of their own, Carly Ferro.
Ferro was killed Wednesday night as she walked out of work at the Discount Food Store & Liquidation Center on Cleveland Avenue and toward her father Ron Ferro in his car, as he waited parked in the parking lot for his daughter to finish.
Police say 23-year-old Alex Spanos of Rutland drove a white Camry into Ron Ferro's car that then struck Carly.
On Thursday night, a school community mourned as a group with candles, poems and song for Carly, a avid golfer, violinist and athlete. She was 17.MORE IN This Just InRehearsing for an opera is like training for a marathon, says international performing artist... Full Story

an adjective describing someone's style, especially when having to do with snowboarding. Meaning smooth, stylish, clean and cool. Can either mean someone's clothing style, or more importantly, their riding style on the hill. One always wants to ride steezy, and to tell someone that they're trick was steezy is a great compliment.

Yet another one of those words that were made up by advertising executives to put into the mouth of today's supposed youth for the purposes of selling crap that's made to seem "extreme". "This sounds like the kind of stupid crap kids would say", they said, and apparently they were right. The use of this word in any context is admissible in most courts as evidence that the speaker is a complete fucking idiot.
"Have you heard of 'steezy'? It's yet another bullshit synonym for 'cool' that can be used to make old products seem new somehow!"

Fall-like conditions have allowed the Naches Ranger District to lift the campfire ban for the season and extend firewood cutting through October 15, 2015.
Although the campfire ban has been lifted, fire danger remains high. Forest visitors still must attend their campfires at all times and make sure they are cold to the touch before leaving.
Woodcutters still need to check Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPL) for the zone in which they are cutting. Current IFPL information can be found at https://fortress.wa.gov/dnr/ifpl/IFPL.aspx.
Woodcutting permits will be sold through October 15.
*10-15-15 will be the last day to cut and haul for 2015. The extention is the maximum time allowed from the law suit settlement back in the 1980's.

fabulous- my dad can now use the ties he loved so much but was unable to use because of arthritis in his hands which meant he was unable to tie the knot.
Bought 3 ties and will decide which to use on the day. I decided on a clip-on because I have a Christening in Crete in November where it is likely to be very warm. I need something that does not go around my neck and can be removed quickly when the heat is at the all night party and dancing. At the same time it needs to look good. This fits the bill. The quality is brilliant and I think I might be converting some of my favorite ties in the near future. The only reason for a 4 star is that I haven't yet worn the tie.
I bought 3 ties just because I couldn't decide which went best with the shirt. I needn't have worried, they all go with my blue shirt. 4 stars only because I haven't yet worn them because they are for a special Christening. I think that will increase to 5 stars.

Another Night in Paradise: Homey accommodation
I stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning and 4 nights at the end of my trip. I loved it!
The guesthouse is owned by Donna, an American woman. Sergio is her Mexican cook, and beside some great breakfasts he'll make you practice your Spanish as he doesn't speak any English (I think he speaks a little French...) :-)
There are only five rooms, so I met all the other guests within half a day. It felt like sharing a big house with people. Some of the guests were staying here for several weeks, and some were involved in volunteer projects. I had some very interesting conversations. It's not a backpacker kind of place though, but it has a very homey and relaxed atmosphere.
Because it's so small you should probably book ahead if you want to stay here.
Note: there is no air conditioning, only table fans. Also, the two bathrooms are shared.
Great breakfast served in the kitchen, where you can chat with the other guests.
Two TV lounges, hammock and beer from the fridge (honour system - you write down what you take).
It's like living in a big house with friendly roommates! Makes you feel part of the community, due to the fact that Donna is so active in the town with her numerous volunteer projects. This is the perfect place to come if you're interested in volunteering, e.g. teaching children. No formal experience necessary; Donna is grateful for any help she can get!

I just wanted to drop a line to say thank you for the excellent customer service. I was in a difficult situation and needed to order a pair of size 15 duty boots as quickly as possible and one of your representatives personally checked the inventory and called me back telling me I was out of luck. Although I did not get to purchase the boots, the next time I do need anything, rest assure it will be with your company. I wish more companies had people who are willing to go above and beyond for their customers."

HHS: Why does CC Sabathia allow so many unearned runs?
Dunno, but I do know of two that stalled…and they were well past 3rd base.

To answer the question in the headline, he doesn't. He has this year, but it's not something that has plagued him his entire career. I'd chalk it up to chance this year.3. valuearbitrageur Posted: September 17, 2012 at 02:41 PM (#4238116)
The same is very true of Harang (one of the Top 3 pitchers listed for 2012). Aaron has two big years of UER but has otherwise been quite stingy with them.
It's too early to say for sure on C.J. Wilson, but he may lean toward yielding more UER than average.
As we've discussed here before, strikeout/BB and GB/FB rates offer the best explanation for UER disparities, as evidenced by Brown and Schilling.

Bingo, which author misses for the forest.
Don't discount throwing strikes, more balls in play (possibly) and working quickly.5. dr. scott Posted: September 17, 2012 at 03:20 PM (#4238189)
As a sinkerball pitcher, I was the beneficiary of a defense that wasn't constantly getting set on their toes and ready to respond only to put up with yet another 3-2 count or numerous walks and 100 pitches through 5 innings.
Perhaps the limits on amps and ADD-like drugs hurt fielding also? I'd be interested if anyone has some data.
I personally find I make more errors on amphetamines. Then again, as a laser physicist, being amped up on speed isn't so useful for aligning optics.6. Pasta-diving Jeter (jmac66) Posted: September 17, 2012 at 03:33 PM (#4238214)
As for the article it seems the metric that would provide the results he was looking for is UR/IP not UR/ER.
As a sinkerball pitcher, I was the beneficiary of a defense that wasn't constantly getting set on their toes and ready to respond only to put up with yet another 3-2 count or numerous walks and 100 pitches through 5 innings.
I'm surprised that Sudden Sam isn't on any of the lists in TFA. He always seemed to get an ungodly number of errors behind him because (the theory was) his infielders were numbed by a succession of 3-2 counts, BB's, K's, and therefore not on their toes. In 1968, e.g. he have up 78 runs, of which only 54 were earned, an unheard of 31% unearned runs. (Lifetime he's right at 12%)
Don't discount throwing strikes, more balls in play (possibly) and working quickly.
Two very different players in this regard show the opposite:
Quick-working Mark Buehrle, not one to strike out or walk many: 2,665 IP - 124 UER. 1 UER for every 21 IP.
Tortoisean Josh Beckett, who strikes out nearly a batter per inning but also walks 2.7 per game: 1,873 IP, 64 UER. 1 UER: 29 IP.
Edit: And one more, a stunner, albeit in a smaller sample:
Daisuke Matsusaka, like Beckett, he strikes out nearly a batter per inning but he walks more than four per game, while redefining the idea of "nibbler.":
663 IP, 11 UER. That's 1 UER for every 60 IP, a rate better than Schilling, the all-time record holder.
If yesterday's bathroom video is accurate, it's because C.C. is not resting properly between innings.9. salvomania Posted: September 17, 2012 at 04:23 PM (#4238296)
CC's got nothing on Jaime Garcia, 2010-2011.10. RMc is organizationalwide! Posted: September 17, 2012 at 04:43 PM (#4238316)
In each of those seasons, both of which were 162+ innings, 23% of his total runs allowed were unearned.
The fact that the Yankees infield is filled with immovable blocks of granite (as opposed to actual infielders) probably doesn't help.11. NJ in DC (Now with Wife!) Posted: September 17, 2012 at 04:52 PM (#4238324)
[10] I know that it's always fun to pick on the Yankee IF defense, regardless of how hollow the claims may be, but even if your statement was correct, immovable blocks of granite are unlikely to contribute to an uptick in UER because you're not charged with an E for a ball you fail to reach.12. Athletic Supporter is trying to remember your name Posted: September 17, 2012 at 05:21 PM (#4238356)
Maybe it's his gravitational pull on the ball making life difficult for the fielders?13. markj111 Posted: September 17, 2012 at 05:38 PM (#4238382)

SoSH - during my time in Waterbury in 1978, our team was really poor in the first half (28-42) but I had a 11-3 record. My fielders all told me that they were more alert and more prepared to make a play as opposed to the other hurlers that threw far too many pitches.16. Ivan Grushenko of Hong Kong Posted: September 18, 2012 at 12:15 AM (#4238744)
That - and the promise of getting lucky - worked in my favor. Our left fielder Tom Bhagwat told me "I love it when you are on the mound at home. The games always last a little over 2 hours and I can schedule a date on those nights."
5 knucklers out of 12
Wouldn't this likely be due to PB rather than E?
I am disappointed Jeter wasn't mentioned until post #13.18. ERROR---Jolly Old St. Nick Posted: September 18, 2012 at 07:03 AM (#4238812)

This has nothing to do with Sabathia or Unearned Runs, but just as an aside, it's SO nice to put a tracer on a claimed minor league feat and have it check out.
And of course I knew already that Bob's the real deal, so I was totally unsurprised in his case, but I wonder how many people realize what an enormous percentage of people who claimed to have played professional baseball on any level are just blowing it out of their butts? The ONLY other person out of about a dozen such claimants I've ever met whose alleged baseball career was more than a BS story was this this guy, and that was nearly 40 years ago.

"Welcome! My name is Porothea Dennis. I am a WomenHeart Champion and the District Community Leader for the East North Central District including, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. I am a women living with heart disease and diabetes mellitus type 2. I am a healthcare professional and love to volunteer and teach others as long as my health allows me. I am in the sandwich generation as I care for parents, grandparents, uncle, children and grandchildren. I love being a WomenHeart Champion because it allows me an opportunity to teach other women who are touched by heart disease. It also gives me an opportunity to make new connections to spread the word and help others talk about their experiences. As a DCL, I am the liaison for the WomenHeart Champions in my district and the corporate office, providing guidance and a shoulder to lean on when needed."

Island Hopping
... On the upside, each of the tattoo artist employees were very friendly and offered to give us both tattoos! Although there was no sink, no AC, and no amenities, we bonded immediately with the three other people that were in a similar position to ours. These were the friends we hung out with for the majority of the day, and it was fun to have a crew to hang out with.

... we went over a bump or around a corner. Of course going 100+ km/hr down windy roads in Thailand I held on for the next 6 hours while trying not to throw up on myself. My next trip to Krabi I was told to book two seats because as I was moving I had quite a bit of luggage. I got into a half empty mini van with a smooth ride that took half the time of my last one. And no funky smells. You never know what might happen.
As I have already explained in ...
... steps up to a great viewpoint to watch sunset. 1,237 steps were the 'few steps' we had to climb! Or it may of been 1,260 depending on which sign you believe. We didn't count, but it felt like at least that! It was pretty tough going, especially in thirty plus degree heat. We reached the top completely drenched in sweat, red faced and gasping for breath! It was worth it, the temple and its Buddha statues were the perfect foreground for ...
Krabi -> Denpasar Bali (via Kuala Lumpur) -> Ubud
... turned out not to be great but hey ho the food was good and we had a glass of red wine!!! Head back to the guesthouse afterward and settled in for the night. The next day we had breakfast provided by the guesthouse, fresh juice, omelette and fruit. After we hit the streets fully laden with all our luggage to the next guesthouse.
