INVENToR. DAME (M1 PMAA/ BY my@ w WZ/6M@ /l T Tom/Ys United States Patent O York Filed June 28, 1961, Ser. No. 124,275 13 Claims. (Cl. 181-33) This application is a continuation-in-part of application Serial No. 49,014, filed August l1, 1960 and now abandoned.
The` present invention generally relates to sound insulation, and it more particularly relates to a non-rigid, high transmission loss material and to a sound-insulating partition formed of such material.
There are many situations in which it is desirable to temporarily separate one large enclosure or area into two or more smaller enclosures or areas, for example, as where a large schoolroom lfunctions both as a lecture hall and as two separate classrooms. Similarly, large banquet halls can be temporarily used for smaller dining rooms by the use of movable partitions. In such cases it would be desirable to employ movable partitions which are substantially opaque to both sound and light so as to prevent sounds and the like originating in one area from interfering with the normal use of the adjoining area. Many different types -of movable partitions which are opaque to light are known and have been available commercially for many years. On the other hand, movable partitions which are opaque tosound are not presently available.
The types of sounds which interfere with the normal use of a room or the like may, of course, have a frequency anywhere within a bandwidth coinciding with the frequency response of the human ear, but this is rarely the case. For example, it has been determined that the range of lusual classroom sounds is between a few hundred cycles per second to five thousand cycles per second a Moreover, the usual amplitude of such classroom sounds is such that within the frequency range of a few hundred cycles per second of five thou-sand cycles per second a transmission loss of 35 decibels between classrooms is adequate. For other applications the frequency range of in a movable partition is the minimum transmission loss Y of the adjoining portions of the building. For example, the walls, oors, and ceilings connecting the adjoining areas in schools have a transmission loss of the order of 35 decibels in the frequency range under consideration.
- In the past, the usual approach to the design of movable sound-insulating partitions has been by way of sound-insulating panels which are suitable connected together to permit temporary disassembly of the resulting partition. However, where a relatively high transmission loss is required, the cost of such panels is prohibitive. Moreover, the time required to temporarily disassemble and to reassemble such partitions is relatively long and, in addition, is both laborious and difficult.
Because of the rapid rise in the cost of education in this country, it would be desirable to provide some means for reducing the cost of building new schools, and if more inexpensive, temporary partitions having satisfactory sound-insulating characteristics could be provided, the cost of schools could be appreciably reduced without eliminating any of the facilities normally provided in modern school buildings. l
3,231,042 Patented Jan. 25, 1966 In order to visually separate one area from another, it has long been the practice to use drapery-type curtains which are foldable into sinuous pleats and which are very easily moved between open 'and closed positions. This could be done by a teacher in a matter of seconds. Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a curtain which` is not only opaque to light, but which also has an average sound transmission loss of at least 35 db. Such a curtain could be used in much the same manner as draperies .are now used to interrupt the passage of light from one place to another. Of course, certain problems incident to the passage of sound around the edges of the curtain have to be solved, but satisfactory sound traps have been -successfully built and tested for this purpose and are the subject matter of other applications assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
Therefore, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved sound and light insulating material.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a fabric which has an average transmission loss of about 35 decibels which is suiciently flexible so that it can be folded or sinuously pleated whereby it may be readily collapsed for storage purposes.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an acoustically opaque woven fabric which has an average sound transmission loss -of the order of 35 decibels.
Another object of the present invention is to providey an acoustically opaque fabric which is attractive in ap` metallic wires ext-ending parallelto one another throughout the material in suiciently spaced-apart relationship to permit the fabric to flex between wires. Consequently,
the fabric of the present invention can be folded or pleated along line-s parallel to the metal wires.` Moreover, an air impervious layer is provided within or coated on one side of the woven fabric and at least partially lills the interstices of the fabric. Where the yfabric is woven of twisted textile threads, the coating material `actually impregnates the threads. Accordingly, the impervious layer adheres to the fabric throughout an essentially continuous area which prevents small portions of the layer from` vibrating asa diaphragm which'would have the deleterious effect of transmitting they higher frequency sounds through the fabric, substantially unattenuated.
Further objects and advantages and a better understandy ing of the invention may be hadl by reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. l is a fragmentary perspective View showing two classrooms'of a school building;
FIG. 2 is a greatly enlarged, plan view of a fabric embodying the present invention, in which view certain portions `are partially removed to better illustrate the' invention;

FIG. 4 is a greatly enlarged expanded view illustrating" the Weave used in the fabric of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary, perspective view of a sheathed metal wire used in one embodiment of the present invention;

vFIG. 7 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the present invention; s
FIG. 8 is an exploded, perspective view useful in understanding the manner in which the device of FIG. 7 may be formed; and` l o FIG. 9 is a characteristic curve illustrating the transmission loss ofthe fabric 2Q.
The transmission loss, T.L., of a material is an index of its sound insulation merit and is equal to the ratio of the incident sound energy to the transmitted sound energy expressed in decibels. The greater the transmission loss ofia material, the greater is the sound insulation which it provides.
The principal manner in which sound passes through an imperforate partition, is by forced vibration of all or part of the partition. Consequently, the entire partition, or in some cases small portions thereof, becomes a secondary source of sound which radiatesr sound into the adjoining space on the other side of the partition. In other words, the partition, or separate parts of it, func tions as a diaphragm.
In accordance with the teachings of the present invention a curtain-type partition, which is imperforate, is, nevertheless, prevented from functioning as a diaphragm by virtue of Ithe fact that it is formed in such a way and of such material that it is relatively massive, having a mass in excess of the order of 2.0 lbs. per square foot of surface area. Moreover, the `partition of the present invention is limp, i.e., it has a Q whose value is'neglgible.
The Q, of a vibrating body is a figure of merit having a value indicating the energy loss in the vibrating body and the value of Q can be computed by the following equation:
Q=2FX w @or tre@ inthe body energy dissipated 1 n the body per cycle of vibration 'This invention thus provides a limp, or non-elastic material which is imper'forate to prevent the direct transmission of sound therethrough, which is massive. to pre- Vent diaphragm action, and which has a transmissionloss equally as great as most permanent partitions.
Referringnew to the drawings and particularly to FIG. lthereof, therev is shown a portion of a building 10y which includes. a room 11 in the foreground and a room 12 in the background.y The rooms 11 and 12 are partially separated by a permanent vertical partition or wall 13 which includes a door 14 for permitting passage between the rooms. The wall 173 also includes an opening de, lined by a window framev 15: in which an acoustically opaque curtain 16 is suitably supported. In the illustration of FIG.A l, the rooms 11 and 12 are school classrooms as indicated by the chalkboards 17 and 1S, and for classroom use it is desirable to position the sill 15a of the frame 15 at theheight of the desks in the rooms. Therefore,v when the curtain` 16 is drawn back into, thek wall 13, since the portionA of the partition Y13 which is below thofffromo 1,5 not ootiobloto the students sitting at the desks and the remaining portions of the, partition 1.3 aro. outsidey of; tho. aree ofl interest. tho rooms 1.1 and 12 `are for bothvisual and audible purposes a single room.
The partition 13 including the door 14 is suitably constructed so asz tor have al soundtransmission loss of at least 3.5. decibels which has boon. found to Providel Satisfactory sound insulation between school classrooms. The` curtain 16 is, likewise, constructed of a fabric having a sound transmissionv loss ofabout 35 Vdecibels and, in addition, th@ curtain 16 is mounted so that the transmission losslA to. sound passing around its` edges `is at least as great as that of the curtain 16 itself. Accordingly, with the lcurtain 16 drawn across the frame 15, the classrooms` 11 .and 12 aro isolated from one another both for sound and for light and may thus be used independently.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a greatly enlarged view of a woven fabric 20 from which the curtain 16 may be made. The fabric 20 comprises as its principal elements a plurality of weft threads 271, a plurality of warp threads 22, and a plurality of metallic wires 23. The wires 23 are arranged in spaced-apart, parallelrelationship, all lying in substantially the same plane, and extending in the direction of the warp threads 22. Depending upon the particular weave used, it may be preferable to run the wires 23 in the direction of the weft threads rather than in the direction of the warp threads. However, since the fabric should be capable of being foldedv or rolled, the wires 23 should extend in only one direction.
As shown, the fabric 20 is 'a single, Composite member and to that end the weft threads 21 are interwoven with both the warp threads 22 and the wires 23'. Accordingly, the wires 23 constitute an integral part of the fabric 20 and are not merely fastened thereto. The threads 21 and 22 may be spun from staple fibers, or they may be made of continuous filaments or of a single filament. Moreover, the threads may be formed of natural fibers, such as cotton, wool, linen or silk, or they may be made of synthetic materials, such as nylon or rayon or combinations thereof.
Although the weave shown in FIG. 2 and partially shown in FIG. 4 is unusual, any suitable weave may be for the fabric 20 so long as the wires 23 are parallel and are interwoven into the fabric in such a manner that the threads 21 and 22 form a fabric which is not movable to any appreciable extent independently of the wires 23. By way of example, a simple plain weave, or any one of a large number of other known weaves may be used in place of the weave of FIGS. 2 and 4 to produce various decorative patterns and effects. Also, the types, sizes, and colors of the threads 21 and 22 may be varied to provide desired decorative appearances. Moreover, the threads and weave may be selected to reduce reverberation in the rooms 11 and 12.
In order to open the curtain 16 ,so that the classrooms 11 and 12 `of FIG. l are, as explained above, a single room, it is preferable that the curtain 16 be moved either horizontally into the partition 13 at one sideof the frame 15 orA that the curtain 16 be moved either upwardly or downwardly into the partition 13 either above or below the window frame 15. If the curtain is to be moved sideways out of the window 15, then the fabric 20 of FIG. 2 is arranged such that the wires 23 are disposed in a vertical direction. On the other hand, if the curtain 16 is to beV moved either upwardly or downwardly out of the window 1S, the wires 2-3 are arranged in a horizontal direction. By so orienting the fabric 20, the curtain 16 maye be easily folded in pleats within the partition 13 or it may be readily rolled up in the partition 13. f
Since the wires 23 are necessarily heavy, being preferably formed of a metal such as lead, copper, iron or steel, a substantial strain is placed on the fabric with a tendency to cause distortion thereof. Such distortion would be troublesome `for many reasons. In the rst place, if the fabric is distorted, the air-tight seal referred to lhereinafter might be broken. In the second place, sagging of the fabric would make insulating of the edges extremely diiiicult,v InY the third place, distortion of the fabric would alter the appearance of a patterned fabric thereby marr-ihg its decorativeness.
It is, therefore, particularly desirable that the fabric` 20 not stretch during use. tion where the wires 23 extend parallel to theV warp threads and are disposed in a vertical direction, it is most important that the Warp threads 22 be strong in tension and not subject to cold flow. For example, if the warp threads 22 were formed of certain vinyl plastics the fabric would tend to sag due to' stretching of the Accordingly, in an applica plastic under the weight of the metal wires 23. On the other hand, if the wires 23 extend perpendicular to the Woof threads and are disposed in a horizontal direction, it is important that the Woof threads 21 be strong in tension and not subject to cold flow or stretching. Ordinarily the fabric will be used in such a manner that the metal wires 23 extend in a vertical direction and in such a case the sag problem is minimized by employing a Weave in which the vertical threads which extend parallel to the wires 23 are in a substantially unbent condition. As shown in FIG. 2, this can best be accomplished by locating at least some of these warp threads, the warp threads 22 in FIG. 2, in juxtaposition with the wires 23. In this manner, the relatively heavy rigid wires 23 serve to hold the warp threads 22 in a straight-line position both during the weaving operation and thereafter. With this type of weave, the fabric 20 can only s-ag if the threads 22 stretch and as pointed out hereinabove, the material from which the threads 22 are made is selected to prevent this.
After the fabric including the metallic wires 23 has been woven, a exible, substantially non-elastic, air impervious coating 26 is applied to at least one face of the fabric. Inasmuch as the coating is airtight, the sound waves cannot pass directly through it. Since it is irnportant that the fabric be flexible and limp, it is imperative that the coating 26 be flexible and limp. Examples of materials which are suitable for forming the coating 26 are neoprene, latex, flexible vinyl resins and exible acrylic resins.
Another possible way for sound to be transmitted through the fabric 20 would be for the air impervious coating 26 to vibrate as a diaphragm. If such vibrations were not substantially damped, at least certain frequencies of sound within the audible range would pass through the curtain in a highly unattenuated condition thereby destroying the acoustical opacity of the fabric. Because Iof its high mass, the entire curtain cannot vibrate as a diaphragm and in order to prevent the low mass coating Z6 from itself vibrating either in whole or in part as a diaphragm, the fabric is tightly woven and the coating 26 is impregnated into the fabric as best shown in FIG. 3 so that the coating 26 lls the interstices between the threads. Since the weave employed is suciently tight that the adjacent warp and woof threads are extremely close if not touching, only very small portions of the coating 26 are located between threads. However, the thickness of the coating is many times greater than the longest dimension of any free area in the plane of the fabric so that such areas cannot efficiently function as diaphragms. In one successful fabric, the maximum dimension between threads is no more than 0.0156 inch.
Where a twisted type of thread is used the coating 26 preferably impregnates the threads thereby improving the bond between the coating and the woven fabric.
In order to assure that the coating 26 irnpregnates the fabric, it is preferable to apply the coating material in liquid form, thereafter causing it to set up to form a skin-like coating on the face of the fabric to which it is applied. The manner in which the liquid is cured so as to set up into a solid form depends upon the type of material from which it is made and the manufacturers recommendations in this regard should be followed.
The total weight of the wire 23 in a given surface area of fabric controls the transmission loss of the fabric. For example, it has been found that a transmission loss 'of the order of 35 decibels throughout the audible range is obtainable with the fabric of the present invention when the weight of the fabric per square foot of surface area is of the order of 2.5 lbs. If the mass of the curtain is increased to about 5 lbs. per square foot, the transmission loss increases substantially at the lower frequencies and to a lesser extent above 1,500 cycles per second. Since the wires 23 provide most of the mass of the fabric, the wire size and the density of wires in the fabric are chosen to provide the desired weight per square foot of surface area. Of course, fewer wires of large diameter will provide the same mass as will a greater number of wires of a smaller diameter and for a given mass the cost of using larger diameter wire is less than the cost of using smaller diameter wire. However, a large number of small diameter wires provides a greater transmission loss because the space between the wires 23 is minimized and the area of the small portions of the coating 26 and the threads 21 and 22 to which they are attached are likewise minimized. On the other hand, as the density of wires in the fabric is increased the ilexibility of the fabric is decreased and since liexibility is, in most instances, an extremely important factor, too great a number of wires cannot be tolerated. Since the cost factor must always be considered, the advantages of small diameter wires as against large diameter wires must be resolved to provide the best fabric for the purpose at hand.
A fabric employing lead Wires having -a diameter of .072 inch .arranged on three thirty-second centers has been found -to have s-uifcient flexibility to permit draping and facile storage :of the curtain while, at the same time, exhibiting an average transmission loss in excess of 35 Idecibels throughout the audible ran-ge. Consequently, this material iin-ds application for classroom separation. A heavier material would be desirable for separating apartments where a transmission l-oss of 45 db is generally considered to be necessary.
Referring :to FIG. 5, there is show-n a short section of one of the wires 23 which is encased within a braided sheath 30 to increase the flexibility of the over-all fabric. The sheath 30 is formed by a plurality of filaments 31 which are 'braided in any suitable manner around the wires 23 prior to their being incorporated in the fabric.
In accordance with this aspect of the present invention the braided sheath 30 is loosely positioned over the wire 23 so that the wire 23 may rotate freely wit-hin the braid. Accordingly, when the braided wire 30 is woven into the fabric, increased flexibility is provided 4as a result of the lubricating action of the braid.
In order to prevent the wire 23 from sliding axially out of the fabric both in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and that shown in FIG. 5, the ends `of the wires 23 are bent back upo-n themselves -to form a U .a-t both ends of the fabric. Preferably, this fabric is woven to the desired size, but `should it become necessary to cut it into the smaller lengths, it is desirable to bend back the ends of the Wires 23 where the cut is made, thereby securing the wires 23 within the fabric.
Referring to FIG. 6, there is shown a room divider which is formed of a pair of curtains 16 mounted face to face a few inches apart, thereby providing an area space between the two curtains. A room divider which is thus formed of two curtains has a transmission loss many times greater than that provided by a single curtain, and where a transmission loss of the order of 50 db is desired, it is usually more economical to use two curtains having a weight per uni-t surface area of the order of 2.5 lbs. .per square foot, than to greatly increase the mass of a single curtain to a sufli-ciently high value to provide thel decibel loss which is required, since, as the mass of the curtain increases, the flexibility generally decreases and the problem of mounting becomes more acute. Moreover, increasing the weight per square foot over 5 lbs. has very little effect on the transmission loss of the curtain of the present invention.
vThe material 20 includes the imperforate layer 26 on one face and the fabric on the other face, but in some.
instances, it would be preferable to provide a curtain wherein the imperforate material is within the body of the material and thus protected from possible puncture. This construction may conveniently be provided by sandwiching the imperforate layer between two layers of the fabric. With this arrangement, both faces of the 7 curtain are constitutedr by the fabric and the imperfonate layer is hidden from View.
Referring to FIG. 7, there is Shown an embodiment of the present invention in which the imperforate layer is located within the body of the material. The material 30 there shown comprises a thin, imperforate layer 31 of a suitable liexible material such, for example, as Mylar, which is sandwiched between two layers 33 and 3:4 of woven fabric, each incorporating spatially arranged mass members such, for example, as metallic wires.
As shown,4 the layer 31 is intimately connected to the layers 33 and 34 and follows the respective contours thereof throughout both facial areas whereby nothing but minute portions of the layer 31 may vibrate independently of the fabric layers 33 and 34.
' An advantage inherent in the construction of the fabric 30 is that ia high degree of iiexibility may be achieved since the imperforatel layer 31 maybe extremely thin, inasmuch as it is protected against damage by the layers 33 and 34. For example, in one fabric con structed in accordance with this fe-ature of the invention, the layer 31 had a thickness of 0.005 inch. Another advantage of the construction of the material 30 is that for certain decorative effects a fabric finish is provided on both faces of the material.
In order to manufacture the sound-insulating material 30, the layers 33 and 34 which are each basically the same as the woven fabricmZ, may be woven separately. It should be noted, however, that the layers 33 and 34 should preferably include a lesser number, about Oriehalf, of mass-providing wires 23, inasmuch as two such fabrics are used in the composite material 30 and the over-all mass of the material 30 need not exceed the mass of the material 20. Having thus Woven the two layers 33 andk 34,4 a sufficient quantity of a suitable plastic material such las neoprene or other rubber compound may be sprayed in liquid form onto the inner faces of the two fabrics. The two fabrics are then compressed together, as, for example, by passing the same through a set of calendering rollers to bond the layers 33 and 34*together by meansr of the central, imperfor-ate layer of neoprene. Since the neoprene functions not only as the adhesive, but as the imperfcrate layer, a lsutiiciei'it quantity must be used to insure that a com- .plete film is provided. Otherwise, perforations might result which would provide substantial sound leaks.
Referring to FIG. 8 there is shown another way of making the material 30, wherein as imperforate sheet of a plastic material, such as Mylar, designated 31a, is sandwiched between the fabric layers 33 and 34, and the composite material isheated to soften the plastic as it is passed through a set of calendering rollers which compresses lthe three elements together and sets the plastic layer 31a into the layers 33 and 3.4, whereby the layer 31a closely conforms to the surface configurations of the abutting faces of the layers 33 and 34 and, when set, permanently .bonds the two layers into a unitary material.
Referringto FIG. v9, there is shown a characteristic curve of a fabricmaterial 2,0 having a mass of 2.38 lbs. per square foot of surface area, `showing the transmission loss thereof plotted as the ordinate and frequency plotted as the iabsci-ssa. This curve covers a range of frequencies from about 100 cycles per `second to 4,200 cycles per second, the range of frequencies, which, under normal circumstances, must be contended with.
It Should be noted that in the embodiments shown in both FIGS. 1 yand 6, the curtains 16 are substantially planar when in a drawn condition. The principal reason for so mounting the curtain 16 is that in this condition the transmission loss is substantially higher than it is when the curtain 1 6 is in a pleated or sinuous condition, as is common in living room drapes and the like. Moreover, the amount of fabric which is required is 8 substantially lessened and. less complex mounting arrangements may be used to prevent the passage of sound around the edges of the curtain.
There is thus provided, in accordance with the present invention, a sound-insulating material which may have a thickness of less than one-quarter of an inch, and yet have a transmission loss equal to a concrete or plaster Wall having a thickness of many inches. The exact thick,- ness of such a wall d-epends upon the material from which it is made. Also, the material of the present invention is flexible and can be used as a sound-insulating curtain, being easily and quickly moved between room separating and non-separating positions. Moreover, the material of the present invention is attractive in appearance and can be used in such a way as to decrease reverberation in the individual spaces which it separates.
The curtain materials 20 and 30 as described in detail hereinabove are bot'n Woven fabrics. Nevertheless, a nonwoven fabric may provide the flexible base for theI massa providing members and the imperforate layer since the principal function of the fabric is a limp support for the high mass.
While the present invention has been described in con-r nection with certain embodiments thereof, it will be under.- stood that those skilled in the art may make many changes and modifications without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is intended by the claims which are appended hereto and which form a part of the present specification to cover all such changes and modifications which fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

BEIJING--China's national quality watchdog on Monday advised consumers to avoid two infant formula products from Nutricia New Zealand after New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra Co-Operative Group Ltd.(FCG.NZ) recalled products because they might contain a bacteria that could cause severe or even deadly food poisoning.
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement on its website that it was advised by the New Zealand embassy in Beijing that New Zealand's Ministry for Primary Industries can't exclude the possibility that two Karicare infant formula products of Nutricia New Zealand had used tainted ingredients supplied by Fonterra.
It advised consumers not to use the products until further notice.
Nutricia--a unit of Paris-based Danone SA (DANOY)--has said it was starting a precautionary recall of two Karicare infant formula products with specific batch numbers and sold in New Zealand.
The watchdog also said on Sunday that several food and beverage producers operating in China had imported Fonterra products that could contain the tainted ingredients. These companies include Hangzhou Wahaha Group Ltd., Shanghai Tangjiu (Group) Co. and Dumex Baby Food Co., a unit of Danone.
All were recalling related products that might contain the tainted ingredients, according to the watchdog.
China's quality watchdog on Saturday asked the nation's importers to recall milk products supplied by Fonterra after the major dairy exporter warned that some of its products might have been tainted with a substance that could cause severe food poisoning.

Don't come back around here no more
Boy you gotta
Pack your shit and get the hell out
Don't come back around here no more
Can't you see now baby
With the tears in my eyes I don't feel right
But you don't feel the same way
How can we live this way
You got your girls on the telephone
Talkin' 'bout this and that, that and this
So pack your shit
Go on your merry little way
I've got no time for you today, no way
You said you hupd up but you never fucked up (fucked up)
But what the hell is this shit on my covers? (cover)
You say you love me every time you fuck me (every time you fuck me)
How could you do this to me
Now wait a minute now baby girl
You say the pain in your life is because of me There you go fucking up my clothes, my cars
Did all I have to do for you, baby
So check your best friend walking round the house
With those tight mini skirts and no drawers on
Baby you're a man, and me she said
And I'll fulfil your every fantasy
That's when I hupd her but I never fucked
You never found no shit on the covers
Said I loved you every time I kissed you
How could you do this to me
You said you hugged her
Find more lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com
But you never fucked her
So what the hell is this shit on my covers? (what's that shit on the cover)
You say you love me
Every time you're near me
How could you do this to me, oh
Boy you gotta
Boy you gotta

Two dozen people were caught drink-driving across the Northern Territory over the weekend.
Ten drivers were caught in the Darwin region, four in Katherine, and three in Alice Springs.
Duty Superintendent Bruce Porter says five drivers have been charged with high-range drink-driving.
He says a 50-year-old Borroloola man had the highest blood alcohol reading at 0.214 per cent.
"We also had a 39-year-old male in Darwin with 0.179," he said.
"In Katherine we had a 41-year-old female with a reading of 0.176 and then in Alice Springs we had two males aged 43 and 34 who had readings of 0.164 and 0.160 respectively.
"So they are all pretty high readings."

The rom
Very cool air at the entrance Lobby.
Clean, nice building.
Lobby at 6th floor. Two elecators to get to my room. No atention to a complaint, no electricity for tv since day 1st, it was attended 'till 2nd night, it took two personal reports and Phone call.Wi-Fi failed 1st night and never came back.
Warm, indoor pool breakfast proximity to Idea, Home Depot, mall, Krispy Kreme.
no tub the king-size bed seemed really short
The view of Crispy Creme and Carls Jnr Burger from our room.
Staff not willing to locate ice for us when requested for my medication. Distance from city. Chlorine smell in reception and lobby area from swimming pool. HATED THAT FREE BREAKFAST ENDED AT 9.30am! You had to pay extra if having breakfast after 9th, ridiculous!
The staff and the food were excellent
the hotel was little bit far from the center
Buenas instalaciones.
Internet sin servicio
Good staff. They help us about any of our particular needs. Excelente hotel for the price.
There's any grocery store near the hotel...
convenient location. circus had setup across the street so we had to go! great views of the city and the volcano good breakfast buffet
The panoramic views were outstanding. Their concern about my son who was very ill was very nice. Very clean and comfartable beds.
Staff were nice. Good ratio money/facilities.
My only complain is the breakfast, only Mexican food, so maybe you can vary the menu
The location
The room needs a heater
Staff, cleanliness and room
Noisy, i could hear the couple upstairs and there was a noisy party somewhere close so I did not get any sleep at all....
I like the view to the city and the Popocatepetl vulcano, the cleanliness specially of the blankets, the strategic location, the complimentary breakfast service, specially bakery delicious.
The size of the shower in the bathroom, extremely small, very reduced space, the hot water supply takes about 5 minutes wasting water until you get the hot water, the parking lot too small.
I really enjoyed the view that the hotel had.
I didnt like the check in process or the room that was assigned to us

I am sure when Dave or Tony see this thread they will get on it.
I think Dave or Tony would be well advised to look again at the kuota-roadcc.com website before they identify road.cc with it any more than they already have done. Where's the content? No news for months. The few Tour Series dates that even made it onto the calendar are still showing venue 'TBC' - even though the series is long finished. A total of nine posts for the season, none of which included anything from the Tour Series? Tsk tsk... With road.cc's journalistic experience and keen correspondents there's an opportunity to make the kuota-roadcc.com website 'required reading' during next year's Tour Series...

Are there still/ever races like this in the Guildford or Woking areas? I am pretty sure I read something about it years back but I am straining my memory here!!

I think the only races in Guildford are the town centre races organised by Charlotteville CC in early July and of course the current Tour series in June in Woking
Did Nightrider 2013 and 2014 for Parkinson's UK. Might just have one last go in 2015.

Klouchebag, Finally Something More Douchey Than Klout

A chillout zone designed in bright, sweetie colours, Madd is a wholesome, independent shrine to mango sticky rice. From the bircher muesli to the US-style cupcakes, everything is made on site,
& there's something akin to table service: the drill is to order at the jolly counter, then find a corner to hang out with magazines & Jenga. It's not quite a case of mango monomania… but
almost, with mango mojitos & margaritas to come when Madd gets an alcohol licence. In the meantime, there are lassis, milkshakes & Twinings teas, as well as a bespoke,
'build-your-own-dessert' bar: the aforementioned sticky rice or cheesecake can be used as the base for a pile-up of fruit & berries, finished off with scoops of ice cream, Oreos or Kit-Kats.

Lunch Lady: China Star buffet the 'wei' to go
"Step away from the buffet" — words I know all too well.
I have absolutely no self-control at a buffet. It's not because I don't think I won't get my money's worth if I don't walk away with a trucker's plate, it's because it all looks so wonderful I want to try a little bit of everything. And when you're at a buffet of around 50 things to choose from, it can be devastating to someone with no willpower.
I met my lunch buddies at China Star recently because LB-2 had a craving for Chinese. When I heard her ask LB-1 if he wanted to go Chinese for lunch, the next day I invited myself along for the experience when I heard the destination: China Star.
China Star isn't one of my top-of-mind restaurants, probably because I-44 isn't my regular daily route and because I try to steer clear of buffets for the reason mentioned in paragraph one.
I decided before lunch China Star would be a good opportunity to introduce my new friend to one of the largest Chinese buffets in the Falls. Since she's relatively new to town, and still learning all our hot spots, I agreed to pick her up at her office and give her the guided tour.
LB-1 and LB-2 were parking their car when a text message came across my phone.
OK, I admit it! I forgot LB-3!
I was a little too quick leaving for lunch and I missed her confirmation e-mail by mere seconds, thanks to the corporate e-mail server. I had already parked at China Star, then doubled-back to retrieve my third lunch buddy after her text dinged through asking me if I was still coming to get her.
By the time LB-3 and I got back to the restaurant to join LB's 1 and 2, they were well into their first plate full of their favorite China Star choices.
LB-1 is crazy about China Star's egg rolls, so much so that he made two trips down the egg roll aisle. Best I can recall, LB-1 had five egg rolls to go with his fried rice and steamed dumplings. I'm pretty sure they've taped his picture up in the kitchen so they can watch for him in the future.
LB-2 has a special liking for China Star's egg foo yung. If you've never tried it, look for the little egg pancakes. LB-2 says you can top egg foo yung with the brown sauce you'll find next to the pancakes, but prefers hers sans the sauce. To her plate she added fried rice, a little sesame chicken and a couple of steamed dumplings. No complaints from LB-2, after all, she was the reason we were there.
I was overwhelmed with the quantity of food on the two very long, double-sided buffets at China Star. This is just a guess, but I think their buffet probably holds about 50 or more items — and that doesn't include the dessert buffet with soft serve ice cream with numerous toppings, doughnut holes and pudding, or the cobbler of the day.
I have to admit I didn't do too badly when I filled my plate. Because sesame chicken is a personal favorite of all those many choices, it's a fried item, so I held it at three pieces and worked more vegetable-based choices around my indulgence.
I'm crazy about the pan-seared green beans made with a tangy soy sauce dressing, so those were a must-have. When you go, you must-have too! To that I added a couple of big pieces of broccoli from the broccoli beef pan, then ended with my most favorite item of all: steamed pork dumplings with soy dipping sauce. Every bite of everything I chose was fresh, hot and delicious.
LB-3, a native California girl, had no complaints with our Texas-Chinese cuisine. She grew up enjoying some of the best Chinese food around, and she agreed China Star's quality is superb and delicious.
Along with her teriyaki chicken, pepper beef and sesame chicken, LB-3 added one item that piqued her curiosity when she found it on the Chinese buffet — a chicken quesadilla. I can't say I've seen many Mexican-Chinese choices before, so I'm glad she gave it a try. We're happy to report Chinese chicken quesadillas are bueño!
No one left China Star hungry, that's for sure. It's all-you-can-eat at China Star buffet, and there shouldn't be another egg roll shortage for a while. Well, at least until LB-1 gets hungry for Chinese again!

WASHINGTON - Perhaps all Felipe Lopez needed was a little rest.
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH - The Pirates' hitting was very good for a change, even if their timing wasn't. On a day Ian Snell didn't figure to give the Atlanta Braves many runs, Pittsburgh's offense finally broke out.
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - Atlanta Falcons coach Bobby Petrino said the team's final mini-camp practice Sunday ended a productive three-day schedule of five practices.
PITTSBURGH - Atlanta's Chuck James held the slumping Pittsburgh Pirates hitless until Jason Bay singled in the seventh, and Scott Thorman homered twice in leading the Braves to a 9-2 victory Saturday night that extended their winning streak to five.
PORTAL - "I told (my team before Game Three);" said Portal Panther coach Tendai Haggins, "whoever makes the most errors is probably going to lose this ballgame."
METTER - Metter's first round playoff series with Jeff Davis Friday night came down to one crucial inning for the Tigers. It was an inning mired with errors and mental mistakes, an inning that likely cost Metter a chance at advancing into round two.
PORTAL - The Portal Panthers dropped Game One of the first-round three-game series of the Class A State Playoffs to the Wilcox County Patriots Friday, but when it came down to elimination, Brett Rivers pitched a complete game, struck out eight, led PHS to a 7-3 victory and forced a Game Three.
PITTSBURGH - Andruw Jones and Jeff Francoeur homered on consecutive pitches in the sixth inning to help the Atlanta Braves end their longest streak without a homer in 24 years, and manager Bobby Cox tied Sparky Anderson for fourth place in career victories with a 4-1 decision over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.

Li, Azarenka advance at US Open
Chinese fifth seed Li Na, the 2011 French Open champion, advanced to the US Open semi-finals for the first time Tuesday with a 6-4, 6-7 (5/7), 6-2 victory over Russian 24th seed Ekaterina Makarova.
Li seized a 4-2 tie-breaker lead but lost five of the next six points, three of them including the last with forehands beyond the baseline, and had to rally by breaking Makarova's last two service games to win in two hours, 20 minutes.
"I'm so happy," Li said. "After losing the second set I was a little disappointed because I was 4-2 up in the tie-breaker, but I told myself point by point to try my best on the court."
Li reached a final-four showdown against the winner of a later match between 16-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, who seeks her fifth US Open crown and ninth title of the year, and Spanish 18th seed Carla Suarez Navarro, who has never won a title.
"I will lie down in bed and take some chips and watch," Li said.
Li fired 44 winners to only 15 by Makarova, who upset Williams in last year's Australian Open fourth round but fell to 0-4 all-time against Li, who said her nerves kept her from being more aggressive and coming to the net.
"I was so nervous," she said. "I wish I could do it more in the next round."
Also advancing was two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka, who reached the quarter-finals by beating Serbian 13th seed Ana Ivanovic 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a match postponed from Monday due to rain.
The 24-year-old second seed from Belarus took advantage of Ivanovic's 42 unforced errors and broke the former world number one nine times in the match, winning despite surrendering seven breaks herself and hitting just 21 winners.
"There's a lot of room to improve, but I don't think that my serve was a deal breaker of those games I lost," Azarenka said.
Ivanovic and Azarenka exchanged seven breaks in a row at one stretch.
"I put her a lot under pressure," Ivanovic said. "I felt like I could break her, but it was very frustrating that I was losing my serve constantly."
Azarenka, who lost to Williams in last year's US Open final, will play for a semi-final spot against Slovakia's 48th-ranked Daniela Hantuchova, with whom she has split four career meetings.
"She's playing the best tennis of her life," Azarenka said. "She is really playing well and has a lot of confidence. We hit with each other a lot so there will be no surprises there."
Azarenka, a semi-finalist in five of the past seven Grand Slams, defeated world number one Williams in the final at Cincinnati in the last big US Open tune-up event, securing her role as the main threat to Williams' reign.
Either Williams, the reigning French Open champion, or Li, this year's Australian Open runner-up, would become the oldest women's champion in US Open history at age 31 with a triumph in Sunday's championship match.
The total of five players over 30 in the quarter-finals was a US Open record and matched the all-time Grand Slam mark from the 1977 Australian Open.
Suarez Navarro could become the first Spaniard to upset a top-ranked woman since Virginia Ruano Pascual beat Martina Hingis at Wimbledon in 2001, but she has yet to take more than three games off Williams in two meetings.
As the first Spanish woman in the US Open quarter-finals since Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in 1998, Suarez Navarro seeks her first Grand Slam semi-final in her first Slam quarter-final appearance since the 2009 Australian Open.
Ivanovic fired 17 winners in the first set and had 15 forehand winners before Azarenka managed one.
"Ana just came out firing. She played really amazing tennis in the first set," Azarenka said. "I was sleeping and she was ripping winners. I had to wake up in the second set.
"I'm not concerned about the slow start. It's just a matter of getting that groove. I just have to be a little more focused on those opportunities I have."
Ivanovic, the 2008 French Open winner, made her first Slam quarter-final since her Roland Garros crown at last year's US Open, but could not duplicate the effort.
"It was frustrating," Ivanovic said. "In the second set, all of a sudden I couldn't find my rhythm on the serve. In the big points she came up with the good serves and big shots. She started playing a lot more aggressively."
