Historical Traveler Reviews Quality Hotel & Leisure Stoke On Trent Hanley
Room ok, bathroom appeared brand new, restaurant service very poor
This was our second time at this hotel. We just stayed for one night.
Our room was ok nothing special, just ok, but the bathroom appeared to be almost brand new. We had a view over other buildings and a roof, but as we were only there for one night it really did not matter. Shortly after we arrived we went into one of the bars for a cup of tea, which was served in a cup with a tea bag, no mention of a nice pot of tea.
Then we made the unfortunate mistake of asking some friends who live nearby to come over and join us for an evening meal. Some mistake.
Although the meal was quite good although not very hot, the service was poor to say the least. We had a bottle of white wine and a bottle of water which were just "dumped" on the end of the table, no tasting!!!! no pouring!!!! The morning breakfast was also fairly poor.I guess next time I go to stoke i will have to look for another hotel.... Very poor all round for what is classed surprisingly as AA 3 star.
Old fashioned
I used to live near the Quality Hotel and went there for a wedding once when it was called The Grand. The hotel was much nicer then. During my more recent stay I found the rooms to be really old fashioned all dark and dingey, with a horably decorated brown tiled bathroom, like an old school corridoor, there was also a grubby stained valance on the bed, and the trouser press could have been an antic. The room reminded me of an old fashioned carriage on a steam train. The bath taps did not work at all and after complaining we were moved to another room which was nicer and better with a much more modern and newly decorated bath room. The bed was quite comfy but we were in a room next to a bunch of young males who partied until early morning making a disbance, I rang down to reception to complain and the problem was dealt with. The hotel was quite deceptive as the corridoors and reception and even the outside view of the hotel are almost stunning but the rooms are a different matter they seem to have been neglected. All in all I was disappointed with the hotel for the price we had paid. If it had been alot cheaper by around �30 then it would have been ok. The problems we had were efficently dealt with but for the price it was, there should have been no problems to begin with.
2nd Worst hotel I have ever stayed in
Stayed here for a visit to Alton Towers as the usual hotel I go to was full. What a mistake. Hotel is in run down area of town, lapdancing bar next door. First room we were given was tiny, no view, broken bed, broken wardrobe, and a staircase above us meant constant noise. I complained and we were moved to a family room.
This room was much better, though the bathroom had wallpaper hanging off. However - what we didnt realise was that our room overlooked the car park, which come the early hours was where all the drunks would gather. We had constant noise until 3.30am, from music, from people shouting and from people sat on the car park wall argueing, fighting etc. There was no respect for the cars - I spent the night awake watching my car incase it got damaged.
We were so tired the next day we skipped breakfast, and didnt go to Alton Towers - the hotel ruined our weekend and I just wanted to get out of there. Incidentally, the worst hotel I have ever stayed at was the Comfort hotel Stoke which is part of the same chain. Utter rubbish - AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.
Breakfast inedible..................
Stayed 4 nights, breakfast inedible had been left out on the servers to dry up and fester, sausages uncooked in the middle asked for fresh eggs and waited 40 mins to be presented with eggs that had uncooked white (all 6 of them as there were 3 of us), waited another 10 mins after sending them back and managed to get one cooked and one still with an uncooked white.
The 'restaurant manager' was inept - his main role appeared to be just ticking off room numbers - I would have thought that his duties would include making sure that there was food in the server, that there were tea and coffee making facilities (something else - never in all the hotels I have stayed at have I had to make own drinks from a flask of not so hot water!! ) Complained about the breakfast and got a free meal at the carvery, however although the meat was lovely again everything else had been left to dry out.
Stay reached a great conclusion when the fire alarm sounded in the early morning and we had to evacuate in night clothes - a problem with someone forgetting to put a fan on in the kitchen we were told. However the lack of an 'incident control' person from the staff was evident, in a real emergency surely someone from the hotel should control the residents and have some idea of what was happening.
Underhand Charges....Be warned !!!
We stayed at the Quality Hotel for 3 nights on 8th April 2005, our party comprised of 2 adults and 3 children taking the DB&B option with the main purpose of the visit to include a trip to Alton Towers.
Firstly I would say that this hotel is 'tired' and is in need of refurbishment. The room was adequate but the bathroom was poor with a 'caravan' type over bath shower.
My biggest complaint though is the underhand charging system this hotel chain operates ( the Choice Hotel group). The Friday and Saturday night dinners were advertised in the hotel restaurant as 'feast nights' all you can eat with a choice of complimentary soft drink, lager or glass of wine. So it came as quite a shock to us upon check out to be told that the complimentary drinks did not apply to those on DB&B!!! At no time during the meals were we told this and it was not stated on the menu. We asked to speak to the manager who said that they have had other complaints from guests about this and would 'possibly' need to change the wording on the 'feast night' menu. He did agree to deduct the charge for the complimentary drinks without any fuss which led me to think that if we had not questioned the bill then obviously the hotel would have been quite happy to accept our grossly over inflated payment!! To add insult to injury we were charged V.A.T. on top of the drinks bill. I have never dined out in a restaurant that does not include V.A.T. on the drinks menu. So for a bottle of wine that was listed at �15.95 we were actually charged �15.95 plus V.A.T. They even had the nerve to charge us V.A.T. on the kids' Pepsis !!! There are a few other minor niggles like the lack of some foods at breakfast etc but all I can say is that if you are considering staying at this hotel then please remember to clarify all charges as you might get a shock on checkout !
Appalling service!
Having booked our wedding there for 11/09/04 we were greated with numerous problems throughout the day. 1st the wrong date on the menu cards, not enough drinks available considering they had all been paid for and dirty drinks glasses for the wedding breakfast. The following morning when we went to collect things like the wedding cake, they had thrown all the cake boxes away (there were 3 tiers). Then we found out that all of the remaining cut fruit cake had been thrown away and the sponge cake all cut up but never even put out for the guests! If you want to enjoy your wedding and take your cake and leftovers for people who were not there, then don't go to the Quality! They don't even seem interested in putting things right!
Noisy, Shabby, Strippers next door!!!
We stayed there 1 night prior to going to Alton Towers with child aged 10. Hotel is very central and surrounded by nightclubs. Our room on 1st floor overlooked 'gentlemans club' and strippers used hotel car park for their cars although the hotel provided bouncers to try and prevent this. Also overlooked very late night burger bar. Fighting, screaming, shouting until all hours. We had no sleep. Passing traffic noise amplified: it was very loud- in our room the secondary double glazing did not close fully.
Food is good but evening meal was cold and had to be sent back. Breakfast good. Rooms shabby.
This hotel is not suitable for children or for anyone who wants any sleep!!!
A warm welcome awaits you at the Quality Hotel
Just had a fabulous weekend at the Quality Hotel Stoke-on-Trent.What a surprise to have a clubroom complete with spa bath as standard on a weekend deal! The staff are exceptionally friendly and efficient, especially in the restaurant. The food was excellent,fresh,hot and plentiful. Even though a refurbishment is going on it was hidden well and I didn't feel I was on a building site! Congratulations to all at the hotel for making my birthday weekend do special.
Ideally situated
Stayed one night in March 2004, Hotel undergoing extensive refurbishment at this time. Room was in an annex block, comfortable enough, but room smelled strongly of stale smoke and windows wouldn't open. Leisure facilities were good and staff friendly. Decent breakfast but rather overpriced for a three star hotel but then someone has to pay for the redecoration I suppose. Ideally placed for the City Centre which has loads of eating houses.
Friendly welcome and lots to do
W enjoyed the Health Club in the hotel, and we enjoyed a relaxing weekend visiting the wonderful tourist attractions locally associated with the world famous chinaware produced in the area. The restaurant harks back to a bygone age setting, with hanging chandaliers,drapes, and good wholesome, english food. We particularly commend the staff for welcoming us as though we were long lost friends.The hotel itself is over 150 years old, and the bedrooms are not the most modern we've stayed in , but they are comfortable,and clean, and to be fair there was some refurbishment work going on whilst we were there. We can't wait to go back for our next anniversary .thank you for a lovely weekend.

today everyone else has gone for what will doubtless be a very soggy hike up Kinder Scout. Having no raincoat and only one pair of usefull shoes, I opted to stay and mind the boat.
Between showers (and under some) I took a stroll to the nearest town, New Mills.
It has more arches than anywhere I've seen. It is built on the side of a very steep hill. The rivers Goyt and Sett meet in the bottom of the valley and the water supply ...
Running out of steam
We had a destination of Hopwas to reach for lunch time on the 12th so the plan was to get as far as we could before mooring up for the night.

When is a canal not a canal?
We stopped for lunch just south of Great Haywood, but first we went through Tixall Wide. Basically Tixall House didn't want their view spoilt by a canal, so it was disguised as a lake.

AFC South
Best offense in the AFC South?
Mark Schlereth: Indianapolis Colts
It's hard to vote against the Colts. This is an amazing offense to watch and I believe they will get better now that running back Joseph Addai is in his second year and truly understands his role. Also the drafting of receiver Anthony Gonzalez out of Ohio State gives this team the ability to go back to the three-receiver sets that have made them so dangerous in the past.
Merril Hoge: Colts
As long as the Colts still have Peyton Manning, they will always be one of the premier offensive teams in this division. Don't think this team is going to fall prey to the post-Super Bowl malaise that has cursed some recent teams, because these players are dedicated to winning and proving their long-term greatness.
Joe Theismann: Colts
Offensively Manning and the Colts are a class above the rest of the teams in this division. The key to a great offense is the quarterback, and this division is too young (Tennessee), untested (Houston) or the situation is too muddled (Jacksonville) at quarterback for any of these teams to compete with Indianapolis in this category.
Best defense in the AFC South?
Schlereth: Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jags are tough to beat at every level, but they especially excel in the trenches. They line up two monsters in John Henderson and Marcus Stroud who are not only big and strong, but who move their feet extremely well. As an offensive lineman there is nothing worse than having to face someone who is bigger than you, stronger than you, faster than you and who knows where they want to go. At that point, it's almost not fair to the offensive line.
Hoge: Jaguars
Jacksonville can dominate a game simply because of the aforementioned presence of Henderson and Stroud. Those two demand special attention, which makes it much easier for the second and third levels of the defense to dominate.
Theismann: Colts
The Colts' speed is the reason they are my pick to be the best defense in the division. This team has the ability to overpower teams with its speed off the edges to force quarterbacks either into making bad throws or to quickly switch to their secondary targets. Guys like Dwight Freeney possess the type of game-changing speed that allows the Colts to make enough stops to win games.
Best team in the AFC South?
Schlereth: Colts
I can't go against the Colts in this division because they are such a well-put-together team and also because the other teams in the division have so many question marks that have yet to be answered. With the Jaguars flirting with possibly signing Daunte Culpepper, there is no way to know who is going to be starting under center at the beginning of the season. The Texans have brought in a young, unproven starter and Tennessee seems too young and inexperienced to be a playoff contender, much less a division winner.
Hoge: Colts
The Colts have more overall talent and experience than any other team in this division. The Jaguars always seem to be on the cusp of fighting them for the division crown, but they haven't been able to get over the hump and take it from them. If any team in this division can do it though, it's the Jaguars, because they understand that in football, to beat the best you have to walk up and punch a team in the mouth, and that's the way the Jaguars like to play.
Theismann: Colts
The other teams in this division are a year or two away from seriously contending for this divisional crown. That said, I do expect the Texans, Titans and Jaguars to give the Colts trouble this season in head-to-head matchups because of the physical nature of the defenses. The Colts have struggled in the past with defenses that have been overly physical with them, and that's the way the other AFC South teams constructed their defensive schemes, but sadly for those three teams, it won't be enough to dethrone the champ.

Put some stuff in and went for a week long walk.... Worked like a charm.
Quality Lacking
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I loved this bag, up until the second time I used it. I used it on one weekend trip with a low amount of weight (no more than 25lbs). Worked great, loved the rain cover and the straps felt good. Fast forward to a week long trip to Isle Royale (50 miles). My bag weighed about 40lbs MAX, by the end, one of the seams on the outside of the pack busted and one of zipper string came off. Also, the hip padding seems inadequate. At trip's end, I had the largest bruise by far out of the group on my hips. Loved the SAC price, but got what I paid for. Would be decent as a beginner bag for weekend hikes. I will probably end up letting friends use it when introducing them to backpacking.

Top-ranked recipe named "Butter Roast Chicken"
The only thing I changed was the brown sugar to splenda. This makes it prefect for low carbers and diabetics or anyone else that just wants to kick out the sugar.
"I used neither the brown sugar nor the Splenda. Very good result nevertheless."
Place chicken in a ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan;bring to a boil.
Remove from the heat and pour over chicken.
Bake, uncovered, at 325 for 1-1/2 hours or until juice run clear, basting occasionally.

Gators need to be ready for different animal in tournament time
Published: Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 8:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 9:40 p.m.
ATLANTA — Back in Gainesville, Florida waited.
And waited.
And waited.
The Gators pushed back practice so they knew exactly who they were going to play when they got to Atlanta. Two UF assistant coaches sat on press row and scouted a game that kept going every time you thought it was over.
This is tournament time and things like this happen. It took almost three hours to determine a winner in the first game of the second round of the SEC Tournament on Thursday.
But when the Gators hit the practice court they knew. And they know what they are in for Friday.
There is no secret to Missouri. Its guards knock down 3s and drive to the lane. On Thursday in a double-overtime win against Texas A&M, the Tigers attempted 53 free throws. That's not a misprint. The guards scored 32 of their 34 first-half points.
"It was good to see," Missouri coach Frank Haith said. "We got back on track offensively."
Just six days ago, the Tigers were awful in Knoxville. They lost 72-45 and were bounced to the back end of the bubble. The three guards who scored 62 points on Thursday were 6 of 28 against Tennessee.
But that was then. This is wow.
Tournaments always have a wow factor that isn't there during the regular season.
There are no road games in the postseason, and the total number of fans cheering for either team in the Georgia Dome on Thursday was far less than the number of free throws taken. The majority watched quietly and thought about today when the big dogs plays.
There is none bigger, as we know, than Florida.
"They had a real good regular season," said Missouri's Jabari Brown. "But it's postseason now."
Yep, we get that.
For much of the second-round game, Missouri was in control. But crazy things happen in the postseason, like a seldom-used walk-on named Blake McDonald making a steal in the first overtime and feeding Alex Caruso for the tying lay-up on a play that looked like Larry Bird to Dennis Johnson.
There were times when it looked like Florida would be facing a team with nothing to lose. Instead, it faces a team in need of a resume-inflating win.
"Missouri is a dangerous team," A&M coach Billy Kennedy said, "because they can score."
Let's face it. Florida could do everyone a big favor by rolling over for Missouri on Friday.
I'm kidding, of course, because that's not the way this works. The Gators will come here determined to cut down some more nets and bring home another trophy.
But think of all of the smiling faces in Atlanta if Mizzou was to pull off the upset Friday.
It would probably give the SEC another team in the NCAA Tournament. It would give Kentucky fans, who have already dominated the Georgia Dome before their team even plays a game, a sense of hope in a hopeless season.
And it would give the Gator team a nice rest heading into next week's NCAA Tournament.
Yeah, right. Like this team fought through 18 conference games to tank it in Atlanta. After a historic run in the regular season, you may feel like this tournament is icing on the best cake ever and the candles will be lit next week. But this team will take the first step of the postseason Friday. After 23 straight wins, why not nine more?
Missouri is the only team that we know stands in the way.
"It's a chance for us to go out there and show what we can do," said senior guard Earnest Ross.
It's exactly the opportunity Missouri needs. And there is no way of knowing whether Ross playing 48 minutes and four other players being on the floor for at least 37 minutes will result in dead legs today. Or whether the win results in an extra gear for a motivated team that had Florida on the ropes in Gainesville before fading at the end.
"Nobody's going to feel sorry for us," Haith said.
Nope. Not in the postseason. Not at this tournament where one head coach lost his job before he could see if there were mints on his hotel-room pillow.
This time of the year is a different animal with sharp teeth and no conscience.

A deadly fungus known as ash dieback fungus has killed over 100,000 ash trees in England and Scotland.
It has already become widespread in other parts of Europe, including in some areas of Denmark, where it has wiped out between 60% to 90% of ash trees. The fungus causes the crown of the tree to die back and all the leaves turn brown.
The Telegraph reports:
Until last week, few had heard of ash dieback. Soon it may be too widespread to ignore. First spotted in Buckinghamshire in February, the fungus, Chalara fraxinea, has been identified at more than 40 sites from East Anglia — where it appears well established in mature trees — to Knockmountain in Renfrewshire.
The Forestry Commission plans to contain it by burning up to 100,000 trees and possibly banning the public from forests to stop them transporting fungal spores on their boots.
Amid claims from the opposition Labor Party that the government has been slow to react to discovery of the disease in Britain, Professor Ian Boyd, chief scientific adviser at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, has been put in charge of a government task force dealing with the crisis. At the same time, a ban on the import and movement of ash trees took effect on October 29.
With up to 80 million ash trees at risk in Britain, this is indeed an emergency.
This threat to British trees has drawn parallels with Dutch Elm Disease (DED), which killed 28 million trees in Britain after arriving in the 1960s. Like ash dieback, DED is caused by a fungus that affects elm trees, but it is spread by the elm bark beetle. Both diseases are believed to be originally native to Asia, whence they were accidentally introduced into America and Europe.
In the United States, similar destruction is being wrought on lodgepole forests in the western US by the Mountain Pine Beetle. In northern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming alone, Mountain Pine Beetles have impacted more than 4 million acres since the first signs of outbreak in 1996.
Although the British Forestry Commission has plans to burn up to 100,000 trees, some researchers in Sweden, who have been studying this same fungus for over a decade, have a different idea.
From The Telegraph:
The Swedish study suggests that attempts to contain the disease by burning trees could be counterproductive. If resistant trees can grow alongside dying ones, burning all trees will "throw the baby out with the bath water", leading to the eradication of native ash.
Prof Stenlid( of the University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, Sweden) suggests a more cautious approach. "You should at least wait to find which ones are best off and then try to build a future from the ones that are not suffering so badly," he says. "Otherwise you will remove the possibility of preserving the tree species because you will cut down the resistant ones."
The Swedish team believes that tree and fungus will eventually form a "symbiotic" relationship, with healthy but infected trees, and this will lead to more resistant trees. Sadly, a lot of ash trees could die before then.
Scientists in the UK are also concerned that with so many trees dying, there could be serious consequences for other species.
Again, from The Telegraph:
University of East Anglia researcher Chris Panter said that if ash trees suffer large scale declines, 60 of the country's rarest insect species could be at risk of being lost from Britain.
"As well as 80 common insects, at least 60 of the rarest insect species in the UK have an association with ash trees – these are mostly rare beetles and flies," he said.
Whether it's by burning trees or encouraging the tree and the fungus to form a symbiotic relationship, let's hope this deadly fungus can be stopped before it changes the British countryside significantly.

I greatly fear for our future.........the one that belongs to the humans and the animals and the environment. This is very sad news indeed.
I definately favor the the creating a symbiotic relationship between tree and fungus approach. That is pretty much how nature evolves, and it's how our bodies evolve.Hence, the bit of folklore that says, "If it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger."

I'm willing to forgive Seeger his Stalinism. Some of my most-admired artists were Stalinists, for example, Bertolt Brecht, whose rendition of his own "Song of the Unattainability of Human Striving" from The Threepenny Opera is the funniest performance of the funniest song of the 20th century. I can't forgive him his musical fraud: the mind-deadening, saccharine, sentimental appeal to the lowest common denominator of taste in his signature songs — "I Had a Hammer," "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?," and so forth. Bob Dylan (of whom I'm not much of a fan) rescued himself from the bathos by poisoning the well of sentimentality with irony. His inheritance is less Dylan than the odious Peter, Paul and Mary.
One of Seeger's great selling points is that during the great leveling of the 1960s, any idiot who could play three chords on a guitar could plunk and howl through most of his repertoire. Try to play like Robert Johnson. There's a great gulf fixed. Johnson may have been self-taught, but his music sought to rise above adversity and sorrow with craft and invention. The folkies aimed lower. Tom Lehrer got it exactly right half a century ago. I know how mean-spirited and vengeful this sounds, but after suffering through this pap through my childhood, I feel entitled. Everyone deserves a few free passes at petty rancour, and I am going to use one of mine on Pete Seeger.

Bursting onto the scene in the late 80s, Vain made waves and appeared on the covers of some of rock and metal's most respected magazines before they even signed a record deal. While toting similar edgy apparel to current glam metal contemporaries, Vain's MO in the Bay Area scene was having actual substance to their music rather than churning out the same three recycled chords like so many rip off bands were making money doing.

Haircutting Manikin / Mannequin Basics
A Manikin by Any Other Name
Most of us have probably heard the term mannequin used before, and when you hear mannequin, you probably think of the life-sized dolls of men, women and children in department stores and clothing boutiques upon which different fashions are displayed. These are mannequins, but theyre not the only kind. The dictionary defines mannequin as: 1. A life-size full or partial representation of the human body, used for the fitting or displaying of clothes; a dummy. 2. A jointed model of the human body used by artists, especially to demonstrate the arrangement of drapery (Also called lay figure.) 3. One who models clothes; a model. So, you can see that the term has a wider meaning.
You may not be as familiar with the term manikin which may seem to be an alternate spelling of mannequin but it has a slightly different connotation, in spite of the similar nature of the meaning. Manikin sometimes is used interchangeably with mannequin, as it presents a more clearly phonetic representation of the word. However, the specific word Manikin has a use in certain fields to represent the anatomical models that are used in these fields to teach and train.
Thats the area were looking at today. In Haircutting, a
is an anatomical representation of the human head with hair implanted to fall as human hair would do. These manikins are used to
train stylists
how to manage the hair for cutting, styling, chemical processing, etc. Manikins allow the student to practice important techniques without having to worry about causing harm or damaging the hair of a live person. They can help a student build their proficiency and gain confidence before having to work with a live client.
Of course, what is referred to in one place as a manikin may be called any number of things in regional terminology or according to general preferences. You may hear them referred to as training heads, practice heads, dummy heads, manikins, hair dolls, or styling dummy. There may be even more terms in use in some areas, but generally, any professional or instructor will recognize the term manikin regardless of the commonly used term in his or her area.
Hairdressing Manikins
The choice of hairdressing or hairstylists manikin is often a tough one. The manikins are often available in differing varieties, with options in gender, age presentation, presence or absence of facial hair (in male manikins) and most commonly in hair length and color. And with the number of options these variations present, theyre still only a part of the equation. The other major consideration in manikin choice is the material from which the manikin is made.
The vast majority of the manikins available on the market today are made from some kind of naturally produced hair fiber. However, some use synthetic fibers as well. The source of the fibers, as well as the way in which they are prepared and implanted in the manikin determine the usefulness of the manikin for different practices.
The obvious fiber source used in manikins is human hair. This hair is often grown by and harvested from women in impoverished countries as a means of income for their families. Sometimes entire families, even entire communities with work in this endeavor, creating industry centers such as the Temples in India that produce highly-prized
Remy hair
, and
hair extensions
. Other sources, apart from the aforementioned synthetic fibers, are animals most commonly the yak whose pelt grows long in certain places and is structurally similar to some after-relaxer ethnic hair textures. The obvious benefit is that the yak can produce significantly more hair than a single individual, and is cheaper in upkeep, resulting in a greater profit margin.
Once harvested, the hair is either sorted, washed and sanitized, or processed for uniformity and sanitized according to the quality grade of the end product. Its this quality grading that determines the end cost and suitability of the manikin for different uses.
For manikins of high quality, the hair is going to be kept as natural as possible, and will be considered virgin hair in its finished form. This means that the hair will not have been exposed to any chemical processing of color or texture. These manikins are ideal for advanced students who are ready to work with high-end color and perming techniques.
The next step down in quality is those manikins that are human hair, and are only processed to create a more uniform color result. The hair is bleached to a uniform lightness level. These manikins are suited for use in the same ways as the premium quality manikins (i.e. perming), but the student needs to be aware that the hair has been colored/bleached before when performing additional color services.
The standard-quality
is commonly a manikin type made from human hair that is processed for uniform texture, but which may also be processed for uniform color as well. These are great for haircutting and styling practice as well as color practice (understanding that they may be previously colored) but not for practice with texture chemicals such as
perm solutions
. Very often the chemicals used in adjusting the texture of manikin hair during the preparation of the manikin are incompatible with perm solutions and will result in serious damage to the hair. It could even result in the complete disintegration of the hair and the ruin of the manikin.

I had a look at the link to the rangefinder forum. Based on what is being said there, has anyone had the heart to tell Simon Galley about the inevitable fate that shortly awaits Ilford as well? It seems that the worst case scenario( total failure ) is in fact the only case scenario but no-one at Ilford has spotted this yet.
Simon Galley may think he is helping to run a viable business but is actually arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic
On the other hand it might just be that the Ilford board knows a bit more about the future of their business than we as outsiders do.

Belichick even better with added prep time
FOXBORO — Memo to Rex Ryan: Raising the level of your game isn't going to beat Bill Belichick on Sunday. Giving it your best shot probably won't be good enough to take down Belichick in the divisional round.
The reason?
With a bye week, the guy just doesn't lose. As it is, week to week he's pretty darn good at preparing a team. With extra time, you can almost guarantee a Patriots victory. To borrow a phrase from the hooded wonder himself: "It is what it is."

OAK BROOK, Ill. Type 2 diabetes may be associated with brain degeneration, according to a new multicenter study published online in the journal Radiology. The study also found that, contrary to common clinical belief, diabetes may not be directly associated with small vessel ischemic disease, where the brain does not receive enough oxygenated blood.
"We found that patients having more severe diabetes had less brain tissue, suggesting brain atrophy," said lead author R. Nick Bryan, M.D., Ph.D., professor of radiology at the Perleman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "They did not seem to have more vascular disease due to the direct effect of diabetes."
According the American Diabetes Association (ADA), nearly 26 million people in the United States have diabetes, and 1.9 million more are diagnosed with the disease each year. Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, either the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin that is produced. The ADA estimates that, based on current trends, as many as one in three American adults will have diabetes in the year 2050.
"As diabetes becomes more common, better understanding of the disease and its management becomes even more important in order to minimize its effect on patient health," Dr. Bryan said.
For the study, Dr. Bryan and colleagues used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate the association between severity and duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus and brain structure in 614 patients (mean age 62 years) at four participating centers (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn.; Wake Forest Medical School, Winston-Salem, N.C.; Columbia University, New York, N.Y.; and Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio). The mean duration of disease in the study group was 9.9 years. The researchers specifically tested whether more severe diabetes was inversely correlated with brain volumes and positivel

3 colour seperation copies per movie cannot compensate for hundreds of release copies.
Most (perhaps all-- not 100 certain) major studios still make prints of all theatrical releases (including those entirely shot digitally) for archival purposes. That's really what these deals are about. However, release prints are drying up fast-- I work in film distribution, and a lot of art theaters around the country are being denied requests for classic titles because such-and-such studio doesn't ship prints anymore. They tell them to screen a blu-ray instead.
Regardless, film (color and black and white) will be around for a long time, even if Kodak does totally collapse. However, prices will continue to go up...
There will always be enough demand for film to keep some coating plant of some size operating at a profit. Kodak's size is the problem, not their product. Prices will perhaps go up although I don't know enough to know if that is unlimited. I think film prices will stabilize at the point where X's customers move to digital. So there they sit; making a certain amount of profit and employing a certain number of people: A nice little business to be in. A boutique business, like Leica perhaps. The scale is critical. It might just end up being a couple suppliers with neither of them being Kodak or Ilford.
Nobody here really knows how much film is being sold and nobody here (except for a few) knows how much film one needs to sell to keep a plant of size X running. Everyone is just talking through their hats.
Nice to hear something positive for a change.
What about the digital cinema percentage in India and China plus south Asian countries and Turkistan ? How is the american cinema overthere ?
Or do they use cd player and tv ?
In some of those film has vanished.
Also, significantly, major film festivals are almost exclusively digital now. With low commercial demand for prints, for many smaller titles they are never even struck, whereas before at least a quantity would be needed for the festival circuit. Once peoples hard drives start crashing, some films will begin to disappear. I've heard it theorized that the period we are in now could be like the silent era, with only 20-30% of produced pictures surviving past 50 years.

Dartmouth's Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection, in collaboration with members of the United States Senate, is in the process of creating a cyber-security research and development summary report for the next presidential administration, according to Martha Austin, the program's executive director. The institute organized three technology forums in Washington, D.C., earlier this term for a group of business executives, government officials and academics in order to conduct research for the report. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, respectively, served as honorary co-chairs for the I3P forums.
In coordinating with I3P, Lieberman and Collins have asked the organization to write a culminating report with recommendations and policy proposals in accordance with the forums' findings. The report will go to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for review and implementation, according to Eric Johnson, a professor at Tuck School of Business and moderator of the forum focusing on economic issues in security.
Anything from regulation laws to economic incentives to research funding could possibly come from the government's use of this report, Charles Palmer, research director and chair of the I3P, said. He added that he hopes the report will generate discussion in Washington and add a new perspective to major security issues.
"The I3P brought the stakeholders, the real industrial people, to the table and listened to them in coloring our recommendations with what they perceive to be the biggest problems troubling their industries," Palmer said.
Representatives of the government, economic and academic sectors also attended the meetings and contributed their views. Participants included representatives from the Department of Homeland Security, Government Accountability Office, General Motors Corporation, Providence Health and Services, and The Dow Chemical Company. In addition to Dartmouth staff, professors from University of Maryland and University of Virginia also participated in the I3P forums.
The first forum, held on Sept. 29, focused on what Palmer called the "human infrastructure" of cyber security. The forum concentrated on insider threats and identification management, Austin said. The second forum, held Oct. 6, addressed physical infrastructure and security issues with pipelines and electric grids.
The third forum, held Oct. 15, aimed to understand the impact of cyber-security problems on individual companies and the U.S. economy as a whole, according to Johnson, who moderated the forum. Several manufacturers were present, although most attendees were representatives of businesses that depend on technology, like Staples and H&R Block, Johnson said.
"What they really were getting at was the cost of security to mainstream U.S. companies," Johnson said. "Many companies are worried about regulation and what the government may do to regulate them."
Large retailers who experience security breaches in which costumers' personal information, like credit card or social security numbers, are leaked are required by state laws to report the breaches.
These governmental regulations are problematic for national companies because they lack consistency from state to state, Johnson said.
"As most states have different regulation laws, for U.S. companies, it is a daunting task to comply," Johnson said. "We therefore must work on formulating one clear standard to enforce on a national level."
The forum also addressed companies' concerns about potential security liabilities from employees who use social networking sites like Facebook, according to Johnson.
"We must better understand how technology impacts security and how social networking will impact the workplace," Johnson said.
Small firms, which make up a larger portion of the economy, are less technologically sophisticated, Johnson said, and therefore experience a number of security breaches, although they are not as publicized as larger businesses.
According to Austin, there were several common themes prevalent throughout the series.
"There were many concerns about cyber security education in that there are not enough educational programs or types of curricula needed to address the implications," Austin said.
The generational gap in understanding computer security creates a separate layer of issues that were discussed at the forums, according to Austin. College students, for example, are more confident in the security of the web and many "don't think twice about putting information on MySpace," whereas older generations are more skeptical, Austin said.
"There is a very broad spectrum of beliefs about what constitutes security," she added.
Cyber security is a multi-disciplinary field and thus sociology and psychology must be considered, Palmer said.
"People are key to any security system, and they are the ones that will make the decisions whether or not to make systems secure," Palmer said. "If they are making decisions without sufficient information, they might not use it properly or do it at all."
I3P is a federally-funded organization at Dartmouth that researches cyber-security issues, Austin said. I3P recently completed a draft of the first chapter of its cyber security research and development report, and they expect to publish the full report in January, Austin said.
I3P organized the forums under a grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

I understamd whar Verdun is saying. I grow hundreds of Hellebores from seed each year and eventually throw most of them on the compost heap as they are not good enough or are exactly the same as ones I have.
I do the same with Geum too.
In a way it depends on the size of your garden. Filling a huge space like ours say, is expensive so cheap planrs is the way to go. Finding the one plant which is perfect for the spot in a small garden needs a different approach.
Still would like to get my hands on Hh. purpurascens, viridis, and any other of the species.
If you can get seed grown H. thibeticus then go for it.
Division of Helleborus orientalis is best done in later Summer/early Autmn as they grow new roots as the temepratures begin to fall.
A little tale from a few years back.
We went to a local Supermarket (independent one) and waited while they unloaded a lorryload of plants. We looked at them as they were carried in and thought they were good quaality and price. didn't nuy as we already had all the ones we could see. Then drove to a near by gardem cemtre. Surpise, the same lorry was off loading there too. We looked at the plants, same size, same varieties same quality.................£10 more!
Oh and as far as Nursery prices are concerned. It has reached the stage now where we can no longer afford to buy. I am sure that in these days of cutbacks and reduced spending power there are a lot of people in the same position as us. Have they never heard of the law of diminishing returns?
By the way I still sell my fund raising stuff at £1 for Alpines and £1.50 for border plants.
7cm pot is about 6 p, a label 1p and say about 10p for compost and fertiliser. Maximum cost per plant is 20 p. Work out the rest of the costs for yourself and see how much mark up there may be at a Garden Centre.
Do be careful, it is only the Orientalis type hybrids which should be scalped. Hh. niger, foetidus, ericsmithii etc should only have dead or damaged leaves removed.
I grow the Orientalis hybrids by the hundred and I never remove the leaves of the babies. unless the leaves are ' bad' . I find that if I do the plant dies.
That depends on how much salt you put on. A tiny amound on the leaf of the unwanted planyed would do little harm. Half a packet on the soil would leave it sterile for a long time.
The cocoons of the Leek moth are brown.
I had missed it changing to Ficaria verna too.
More label writing!
Definitely the dread and beautiful Lesser Celandine. Ranunculus ficaria.
Translocatable weedkiller is the only solution and then you need to do it every time a leaf appears.
I like the plamt. We even grow a few different forms of it, white, double, green etc.
But yes the normal type really does spread.
There is an orange one
Agree about the questions. The Veg growing one was just plain silly. It would only allow one of the choices to be ticked and yet most growers grow all the choices and more.
I find that if I bring apples out of the store where it is cold, into the kitchen where it is warm, they ripen up and go soft very quickly.

Icebreaker sent us their Tech T Lite to try out. We put it through a number of scientific and rigorous tests to see how the tee performed.
According to our research the Tech T Lite is made with merino wool, which has natural odor resistant properties. We gathered our cohorts and concluded that pickle juice is the most pungent odor that you are likely to encounter while wearing this tee. We commenced our test by showering the Test Subject in pickle juice and found that the odor lingered strongly on the subject, but the Tech T Lite was practically odor-free. If the Tech T Lite can resist pungent pickle juice, it's sure to smell fresh even after several wears. In addition, this directly correlates with a decrease in laundry time. Your mother will thank you.
Next we wanted to test the Tech T Lite's breathability and moisture wicking attributes. Since 1937 the scientific community has used the Red Rover Test to measure moisture vapor transmission. In our experiment we used a traditional Gi and a Union suit as our competing variables. The test results were conclusive. The Tech T Lite proved to be the most efficient at absorbing moisture vapor and moving it away from the test subject's skin, which allowed him to finally break through the Red Rover Chain.
With a name like Tech T, we hypothesized that this tee would have superior computer technical skills. We put the tee to the test with any IT Professional's nightmare; the "blue screen of death". We were amazed when our hypothesis proved to be futile, as the tee had no effect on the laptop's malfunction. The Tech T Lite by Icebreaker is sure to keep you cool, comfortable and smelling fresh, but don't count on it to be of any use when you crash your hard drive by downloading too many animated hippo GIFs.
In conclusion, whether you're looking for a technical tee to layer or stand alone, we're officially recommending the Icebreaker Tech T Lite.

Areas of expertise we are looking for are Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), virtualization, Windows server administration, information security, automation and mobile and computer device management. You do not have to use Microsoft products to qualify for our panel. To get started, please take our user panel background survey here: http://aka.ms/ITProUserPanelSurvey.
The VMM Team
To my experience you should focus on stability and reliability on this product.
Please have a look here:
Making it so that we only have to use one tool to manage it all would be nice. Today we have to use SCVMM for some things, HyperV manager for others, and Failover cluster manager for others. And some things we can only do with powershell. And it should
go without saying that all of that should actually work as opposed to allowing you to click "submit" or "ok" and then fail anyway.
Not having management of Hyper-V replica within VMM has meant that we have had to implement a 3rd party replication system for the last three Hyper-V 2012 customer projects I've worked on. I think the Azure Recovery Manager offering is too expensive to
be taken seriously at volume, nor is there an Azure presence in my country (yet!) - Australia.
My other big gripe is how slow VMM is with initiating jobs on clusters. At the last environment I built (2012 R2, both VMM and Hyper-V), a 10-node cluster takes about 30-40 minutes to refresh. Putting a host into maintenance mode (running 120~ VMs) takes upwards
of an hour. But draining it via FCM takes about 10-15 minutes. I can only imagine things will slow down as the customer scales out with more nodes.
The impact of the speed issues is that the customer ends up using both VMM and FCM for basic operations that they really shouldn't have to leave the VMM console for. And this creates a poor perception of the product in the trenches.
Yet there are some things I really love about VMM + Hyper-V. The Powershell automation is superb - "View script" is absolutely fantastic and has enabled me to rapidly come up to speed with automating things much faster than if I had to read Technet API doco.
Things I'd like to see:
Hyper-V replica
VM migration that works
UI that doesn't crash
A place to see relationship between VM networks and logical networks
A built-in software load balancer, and a gateway, or at least a built-in template
Update management for VMs
Support for cluster library server
Better networking management for clusters, I don't want to update node by node
Things I don't want to see ever again:
Unsupported cluster configuration
Jobs that fail because another job has a lock on some object. Never says what object, what job
Agent installation failed prematurely. Good luck troubleshooting that .
Duplicate VMs in a cluster
Missing VMs in a cluster
A "repair-VM" action that doesn't do anything
Jobs stuck at 99% (new VM)
A better template setup would be nice. The current setup may work well for service providers but I don't think it works well in smaller environments. I would like the security sets to work through all management interfaces the same (VMM,Appcontroller,Azure
There really needs to be a better connection between what the cluster is doing and what vmm thinks is happening. There are too many times when vmm is not in sync. (2012 R2 is much better with this)
Nothing is more irritating that getting a error message that tells you nothing but a message saying contact your administrator. Just give an error that is descriptive enough to fix the problem quick.
It would be nice to see the ip info on the virtual machine stats window when in VMs and Services. Maybe the entire network chain from ip->nic->virtual machine network->pool->logical network->logical switch.
Things i am missing:
- Hyper-V Replica support
- Ability to move multiple VMs in a cluster at once - i can do that in Failover Cluster Manager but not in VMM
- Consistent Naming, "SCVMM xxx Resources" in Failover Cluster Manager is just creepy
These are all helpful, thanks. Please consider signing up for the user panel. The link is in the blog post.
Funny... I did the survey and they never ask for any contact information. But at the end of it, it tells that MS will contact me if I'm chosen..
How interesting !
SCVMM 2012 R2 - I just dont trust it. I dont trust it to do anything i ask it to do given the more or less 50/50 change of success. Its a terrible product. I agree with everything Marco said in his rant, and with various other posts that are HEAVILY critical
of this product. Its more of a hindrance than a help, to be sure.
I wish that Microsoft would put some 'A' team developers on this product for a while,....
I'm going to have to agree with most everyone else...I tire of having to leave VMM to go to Hyper-v manager or Fail over cluster manager or log on to the physical box itself to see/do things.
Why cant I add virtual network adapters to the cluster and have that propagate down to the nodes and then why do I have to run my vb script to change the bind order and other network settings on all of the cluster nodes.
I can hot add disks to a vm and grow the size but not memory or cpu without a shut down...myself and the users find this annoying.
I have had to tell to other admins "not to believe what you see in VMM" to go to FOC manager before they call me with an "everything is down". "host not responding"? It seems to be responding to everything else why not VMM
The library sux...I have a nice folder structure organized in a manner which suits me fine, but if I go to add something out of the library I get a reorganized jumble of bullshit to choose from...why cant I right-click on objects or drag and drop to/from the
library to do things. There are too many library rants for me to post them all here.
I will certainly agree with everyone else that these days VMM is painful slow and unresponsive. VMM 2007 was snappy and responsive since then it is not.
What happened to multi select? If I try to multi select it just clears itself after a couple seconds...Ugh. The list can go on.
We all seem to have the same rants about VMM...there are a lot of great features in VMM to me they just seem kinda half thought out...So, unless Microsoft itself is using VMware for it virtualization platform there must be VMM and server admins at Microsoft
that have the same pain points as the rest of us in real world land...Maybe the VMM developers could walk down the hall and have a conversation with an actual admin...not his manager that hasn't done an admin job in 20yrs or maybe even not at all...and work
on completing the vision.
- Refresh of the NVGRE policies still flaky.
- I dont want to mess in the database to remove a dead host yes please build a real -force
- I cannot deploy a Logical switch using abolsute bandwidth setting... need to do it in powershell.
- VMs Usage metric collected by SCVMM seam not always accurate and take long to refresh.
Reporting without the need for SCOM. The database is there, give us the data in VMM.
To add to the list of already suggested features: Enhanced Session Mode support.
P2v back in, Replica support, multiple selection for migrating, online upgrading of integrated Components then just restart instead of offline for 10 minutes or so.
I have to agree with what has been said before..especially this :
Things I don't want to see ever again:
Unsupported cluster configuration
Jobs that fail because another job has a lock on some object. Never says what object, what job
Agent installation failed prematurely. Good luck troubleshooting that .
Duplicate VMs in a cluster
Missing VMs in a cluster
A "repair-VM" action that doesn't do anything
Jobs stuck at 99% (new VM)
make sure you won't ever a new feature that only in hyper-v manager. QOS is a good example.
make sure new features are supporter across the board, no gen 2 in service template..
VMM has to be snappier..and more efficient
also, WMI has to be much more robust and reliable that what it is right now..
Dashboard are currently lacking a lot.. please add some trending in there.. I want to have everything in VMM, scom is not an option..
why not put some undersized - oversized vm reporting capability in there..
vcenter operations manager is probably a good place to start looking
