Manchester Things to Do: 488 reviews and 999 photos
Programme for Monkey Journey to the West MIF 2007
Manchester International Festival - A World Premier.
2007 saw the first year of the Manchester International Festival, and this event most certainly stamped the city of Manchester on the international cultural map.
Many of the events at the festival were unique and events were held all around the city centre.
Monkey: A Journey To The West was the highlight of the Festival.
Chinese director Chen Shi-Zheng, Jamie Hewlett, the visual brains behind Gorillaz, and Damon Albarn world musician collaborated in an amazing and innovative piece of musical theatre telling the story of the monkey king.
The acrobatics, stage sets and costumes were all incredible as well as
the music, played with a mixture of Western and Chinese instruments. A real achievement for Manchester to get this premier. If it comes to your city - go and experience it!
The next Manchester International Festival will be 30th June to 17th July 2011. Events will include a play written by Victoria Wood about The Manchester Children's Choir.
Directions: Various locations around the city

Festival Markets
2008 was the 11th Manchester Food and Drink festival.
Manchester has the most amazing amount of restaurants, pubs and other eating places and the Festival is a good excuse to try these.
The Food and Drink awards give the opportunity to vote for Manchester's favourites venues of the year and other events take place all over the city and the suburbs, in restaurants, pubs, shops, cafes.
This year the venue for the main events was Spinningfields, a new development of bars, restaurants and offices by the river. The festival has food and drink tasting, cookery demos and stalls selling local produce. Many restaurants run special events and meals for the duration of the festival.
The Manchester Food and Drink Festival is held yearly in October. There is also a Summer in the Park Festival in Platt Fields park, Oxford Road near the University in July, which is a mini food and drink festival to prepare you for the main event.
Directions: All around the city centre and near suburbs.
On-going events in Spinningfields

Manchester City Art Gallery
Manchester has one of the best permanent collections of Pre-Raphaelite work in the UK, ranging from the early 1850's paintings of Holman Hunt and Rosetti through to the later works of William Waterhouse (my favourite).
The Pre-Raphaelites created an entirely new style of painting using bright colours and taking medieval chivalry and romance for their inspiration. They also documented some of the social themes of the Victorian age - work, religion and emigration as well as commenting on the morality of the times. Many of the paintings are inspired by literature such as The Lady of Shalott and Ophelia.
The permanent Pre-Raphaelite collection is on the first floor, Manchester City Art Gallery.
The gallery is a great place to spend a few hours. The second floor has changing exhibitions varying from traditional to contemporary and the ground floor has a shop, and a cafe which is a great place to have lunch. They serve really good food, the soup is particularly good, and you can also have a glass of wine.
Address: Moseley Street, M2 3JL
Directions: Corner of Moseley Street and Princess Street
Phone: 0161 235 8888

Manchester Comedy Festival is held annually in October at venues around the city, including The Dance House, The Comedy Store and The Apollo. There are over 100 acts to see with local comedians such as Johnny Vegas and Dave Spikey and national ones Jimmy Carr and Ross Noble to name a few.
The City Life Comedian of the Year is announced at the on the final night. Previous winners include Peter Kay, Caroline Aherne and Justin Moorhouse.
Manchester has an excellent selection of comedy venues and comedy clubs both in the city centre and the suburbs - Frog and Bucket, Comedy Store, Comedy Lounge, M19 Bar.
See the website for calendar of events.

Ring from Dazzle
Dazzle jewellery exhibition is held at Manchester Town Hall every year during November and December. Showing a wide variety of jewellery styles from over 50 contemporary jewellery designers and makers, this is the ideal place to have a look for Christmas presents (including mine!) Jewellery ranges in style and price from expensive Gold and precious stone pieces, through to silver, enamel, leather, plastic and acrylic. The work here is all specially chosen for the exhibition and is unique and individual - you won't find anything like this on the high street.
Address: Manchester Town Hall, Albert Square, M60 2LA.

Chapel Walks is a tiny paved area just off Cross Street. I have no idea why it is called Chapel Walks. If I find out I'll update this tip. However, the name is irrelevant as it's not chapels here, it's bars and restaurants. This tiny pedestrian area has a row of excellent bars and eateries all next to each other, and is a pretty little place with tables on the pavement and old buildings.
The oldest established place here is a Manchester institution - Sam's Chop House. For traditional old English food, with massive portions, and a lively atmosphere. Next we have Grinch which has been here for many years and serves good food - Pizzas, European and English dishes, with lovely friendly staff.
Chaopraya is a Thai restaurant and Bar which won the City Life food and drink's newcomer award this year. It is very large and the food is good.
Bacchanalia I haven't tried yet but is a bar and restaurant.
Address: Between Cross Street and Market Street.
John Rylands Library
The John Rylands Library has recently been refurbished and now has disabled access, study areas and a new reception desk, café and shop. The modern extension links to the older part by bridge and the highlight of this old part is the main Reading Room which has an incredible staircase leading up to it.
The Library contains a collection of very important books and other material - medieval illuminated manuscripts, samples of the earliest forms of modern printing including the Gutenberg Bible, and personal papers of important historical figures in the local area such as Elizabeth Gaskell, John Dalton and John Wesley.
The Fragment of St John's is here. It dates from the second century AD and is the earliest piece of the New Testament in any language.
John Rylands first opened in 1900 and is a stone building in the Gothic style, with incredible stained glass windows of roundels and metalwork. There are statues of John Rylands and his wife in the reading room.
John Rylands library is free to visit and is open Monday 10am-5pm, Tuesday noon-5pm, Wednesday-Saturday 10am-5pm, Sunday noon- 5pm.
Address: 150 Deansgate, Manchester.
Directions: City Centre.
HN cocktail bar
Harvey Nicholls cocktail bar on the second floor is a great place to drop into for a quick cocktail while you are shopping in the city centre or on a night out. It has huge menu of over 40 cocktails including the standard Mojito, Tequila Sunrise etc and also a "shop til you drop" - useful for a saturday afternoon pick-me-up! Prices from £3.50 for non-alcoholic up to £8.50.
As well as the cocktails they have planty of beers from around the world and a good range of teas and coffees, as well as champagne.
The bar is simply furnished with windows all along one wall and a TV screen above the bar - sometimes showing football and other times clips from designer fashion shows.
The is a selection of light snacks and nibbles - olives, breads and a restaurant next door for a full meal. There is live music at the "Smooth Sundays" brunch sessions from 1pm to 5pm.
Open until 11pm.

Hidden Gem
The Hidden Gem is Mary's Roman Catholic Church built in 1794 and restored in 1993 to 1994 at a cost of £750,000. It is administered by the diocese of Salford and is located in a street, surrounded by modern buildings, at the back of John Dalton Street.
The name 'hidden gem' came from a description by a visiting Bishop. The interior has some interesting paintings and some beautiful stained glass windows.
Inside there is a selection of books and information cards for sale.
See picture 2 for Mass and other service times.
Directions: From Deansgate turn into John Dalton Street and go into Ridgefield next to Panacea bar. Turn left at the end and Hidden Gem is on the left.
The Cornerhouse is an independant cinema that specialise in art films and international films, many in foreign languages. There are 3 screens and generally one will be showing a current release while the other two will show something more alternative. There are often events surrounding the films they show - for example introductions and talks by directors or experts in that particular genre. They also run educational courses in film related subjects.
As well as the cinema the Cornerhouse has a bar, a cafe, a bookshop and an art gallery so you can occupy your time here for a few hours. It is next to Oxford Road Station so convenient to get to.

Well, let me tell you , I got a rude wake up call that brought me to my senses. Fabrizio said it was just too warm for this time of the year and what do you know, on Friday we had the most amazing hail storm. It would have been more enjoyable if I didn't keep thinking about my poor geraniums that were in such glorious bloom. and the garden that was still in full production. Sigh. need I say more?
Well, I must say that now that the sunny weather has returned.Even though I now am completely back into the reality that winter is just around the corner, I can go back to enjoying all the other festivals that are on this autumn. Pinerolo still has the "Maschera di Ferro" festival coming at the beginning of October. The link to the festival has some great photos, although the site is all in Italian. If you would like a bit more info on the Man in the Iron Mask festival and other Piemontese festivals in English, head over to Martha Bakerjian's " Go Italy" site on "Italy Travel", About.com. Her site has a wealth of information on Italy and Italian travel.
The "Slow Food Salon del Gusto" is a bit later on and there are quite a few other mushroom, polenta, chestnut, apple, truffle and on and on events, to try and get out to, but for now enjoy the photos of one last weekend in Pinerolo, that brought all kinds of artisans of art, crafts, foods and such and wander around, and take a peak.

Blount, UO offense dominate scrimmage
Junior running back LeGarrette Blount was the star of the show in Oregon's closed scrimmage at Autzen Stadium today.
The 6-foot-2, 240-pound transfer rushed for 87 yards on four carries, including a 29-yard TD run, according to stats provided by the UO sports information office.
UO head coach Mike Bellotti was effusive in his praise of Blount, although he tempered his enthusiasm with the acknowledgment that the Ducks rested most of their starters on defense.
Bellotti found positive things to say about all of the quarterbacks that played. He said Jeremiah Masoli showed good quickness and would get plenty of work next week; Darron Thomas threw five "perfect" balls, although three of them were dropped, and Chris Harper threw the ball with more zip and consistency. He also liked the play of Justin Roper, who was 3-of-4 for 61 yards, and had a 25-yard TD run, in his only series of the scrimmage.
As you can imagine, defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti was not as happy with his players.
Once again, he prefaced his comments by saying there were a lot of young kids on the field, but he said the defense was "brutal, as bad as I've ever seen it."
In terms of defensive stats, freshman cornerback Scott Grady had a 100-yard interception return (off Harper), and redshirt freshman defensive end Matt Simms finished with five tackles and two sacks.
Here are the offensive stats:
RUSHING – Blount 4-87, Alston 6-27, Harper 10-52, Roper 1-25, Masoli 2-6, M. Lewis 2-25, Thomas 2-8, James 4-13, E. Dickson 1-9, Larkin 1-4.
PASSING – Roper 3-4, 61 yards; Masoli 1-4, 13 yards; Thomas 2-5, 31 yards; Harper 4-6, 32 yards
RECEIVING – Scott 2-54 yds; Krout 4-49 yds.
Curtis Anderson covered UO track and field for The Register-Guard from 1990-96, and again since 2005. He covered the 2012 Olympic Games in London, in addition to the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in New Orleans (1992), Atlanta (1996) and Hayward Field (2008 and 2012). He is the winner of the Jesse Abramson Award, presented by the Track & Field Writers of America for excellence in coverage in 2008.

From sales to repairs, PK Motor Cars tends to drivers' automotive needs. The company's pre-owned sales lot features cars from makers such as BMW, Honda, and Mazda, all inspected and ready to hit the road or host a carpool party. In the full-service repair facility, trained mechanics keep imported and domestic vehicles in tip-top shape. PK Motor also features a detailing center where cars are made as spotless as the inventory that sits on the lots just steps away.
Davidson's Detailing helps drivers maintain the cosmetic value of their vehicles. Whether by wash or by detail, the staff exercises meticulousness and attention to detail—the basic Wash n' Vac package, for instance, includes a hand wash, and more advanced details see technicians buffing, waxing, and steam cleaning the car to a polished sheen. Besides these packages, they also offer headlight restoration and scratch removal.
When the trained technicians at The Driveway Doctors perform a job, they use ultramodern car-diagnostic equipment to see if vehicles need an overhaul or if they're just having an allergic reaction to regular-grade gas. The service list includes oil changes, engine repairs, and used-car inspections.
We, at Peabody Sunoco USC, are automotive service professionals you can trust! Our technicians are ASE certified and we use the latest tools and equipment when servicing your vehicle. We've been helping drivers in the northshore area since 1996. Peabody Sunoco USC specializes in State Inspection emission test. We take pride
Cars may have been made for speed, but caring for them properly takes time. Such is the credo underlining Gemstone Auto Detail's exhaustive cleaning packages, which incorporate everything from human hands to clay bars and air guns in order to keep cars as clean as the day they crawled out of Henry Ford's soup. Detailers wash away dirt with foam guns, pH-balanced water, and shampoos; however, cleaning is only the beginning. Once vehicles have been stripped of grime and filth, the staff carefully wipes them down with liquid waxes and polish. Still, a shiny car is susceptible to damage, which is why they take it a step further and condition leather seats, lather the paint in sealant, and fabric-guard the carpets, building an armor around the vehicle that maintains its like-new shine and protects it from hazards such as weather, grease, and spillage.
A part of the auto-upkeep industry for 25 years, Tony's Recon draws on an experienced team of technicians to perform spotless makeovers for all manner of land, sea, and sky transport. Chemical-free soapy solutions spiff up cars, hand waxes protect the finishes on boats and airplanes, and buffing compounds even out the mange on Santa's reindeer. Realizing that dirt and grime often penetrate below vehicular surfaces, the exacting staff delve deep into carpet fibers during interior details that enlist shampoos to reinvigorate mats and seats.

Re:Wow. (150 comments)
Yea I don't know what is going on today but the quality of many of these summaries has been awful. This one tops it off with numerous mistakes in the title alone.
I'm also not sure what Roblimo's problem with Atlassian or proprietary software is; from my experience Atlassian produces fairly good software and charges far less than competitors.
Also, how about linking to the actual press release or a news story that contains more than commentary?
Re:Thought Question (184 comments)
This suggestion has come up a few times now for different countries: China, Australia, Pakistan and probably many others. There looks to be a trend around the world of governments and media companies taking aim at Google for a wide range of things. What it really comes down to is that Google provides the ability for almost anyone around the world to find just about anything. This makes information easily accessible and threatens the artificial barriers to knowledge and 'fair use'. Google is the largest search engine and has the most at stake so it is the obvious target. I would compare this lawsuit to suing the yellow page because they list a shop that has a collection of real and pirated DVDs - I wonder if they've tried that yet?
Re:As a former Apple Premium Reseller employee (412 comments)
I also used to work for an Apple premium reseller and there was never any such policy, as the article states. Further they have mentioned that JB HiFi might be doing this to increase their accessory attachement rate in hopes of being allocated more iPads.
It is true that Apple collects statistics on accessory attachement rates however that is only for Apple accessories. In some cases resellers may have to purchase a certain percentage of Apple accessories along with their purchase of the iPads. But that percentage (in the past) has never been very high and always seemed to be along the lines of how many accessories were sold anyway.
JB HiFi had better be careful though because Apple has very strict agreements for resellers and certainly wouldn't appreciate the negative press or customer experience over this. Retail sales staff are usually paid on commission and margins on Apple hardware is very slim so a few accessories could easily double gross profit from an iPad sale (and the salesperson's cut).
Implications on China (288 comments)
This could be an interesting development for Google's efforts in China. If the traffic between google and the client is encrypted then the firewall of China *shouldn't* be able to analyse the search results coming back. The only option for China might be to block Google SSL completely but that might be a bit too risky politically.
Re:So... (647 comments)
This is only the latest in a string of censorship proposals that the government claims are targeted towards protecting people from child pornography.
As the article says, if child porn is the issue then why not just limit it to that? The same question has been asked about the proposed internet filter, which the government also claims is for protecting people from child porn but has been extended to cover all refused classification material.
Just as filtering the internet as has been proposed isn't really feasible (at least with little impact on speed), I highly doubt customs agents would or can search the tons of laptops and phones coming into Australia. All it would take is one person with 10GB of porn to keep them busy for a couple hours.
Re:One of these words does not belong (61 comments)
After reading the article and going through the pictures I was quite surprised how mundane a lot of the technologies are. The tablet table or whatever it's called has been showcased by Microsoft for years but they've yet to produce a competitor OS to the iPhone or Andriod. I noticed an ad for the Kin next to the article Another big ticket item seemed to be the photo stitching for images - which reminds me of the software that my Canon camera came with 5 years ago. This might work better but it is five years on and I'm sure Canon has improved on this as well.
What about doing it for charity? (68 comments)
I know it's easy to motivate people by the prospect of making a dollar or two however the money would have a greater impact to a charity.
We've created a team to win this prize and we need your help. However we don't offer a dollar or two, just that you get a say in which charity the prize money will go too.

Re:Or (237 comments)
Please. I know plenty of people who only smoke after a night of drinking. Do the cigarettes own them?
That would depend how often they have a night of drinking and if it is regularly they could end up being addicted to smoking. At any rate, a night of drinking and smoking wouldn't be good for anyone's health.
Re:Or (237 comments)
While willpower alone could and should make someone stop smoking, unfortunately not everyone is able to muster that willpower. There are a wide range of reasons people have trouble quitting (on top of the fact it's physically addictive), maybe they have smoked to a long long time or they are very stressed. I'm sure many of these people know it's bad for them and many smokers I've talked to say they want to quit but just can't. I think this vaccine is a brilliant step forward and it will give many life long smokers a second chance to quit. I'm sure there are many people to really have tried everything to quit and hopefully this vaccine will be the last thing they have to try.
Unhackable like the Australian Porn Filter? (501 comments)
Setting aside the fact that I don't think giving students laptops is the most efficient use of resources (smaller class sizes, more funding for teachers, arts and science programs etc would be better)... I can't help but wonder if this will be as unhackable as $84 million porn filter released a couple years ago.
Re:You wouldn't need a heater... (213 comments)
Funny as it may be, the parent as a point, with the worlds store of oil depleading, and the ozone layer getting worse by the day, projects like this aren't helping the problem. This may only be one case, however many more people keep old, old computers running for no reason, using up alot of electricity that doesn't need to be used.

Indiana Inter-College Council on Aging September 23, 2005
After introductions for new attendees, the discussion on an application for a Geriatric Education Center for Indiana was led by Kathy Segrist and Kathy Frank. The GEC application from Arizona is being used as an example of an application that received funding.
At this point in time, it is not clear when HRSA will release the RFP, but usually it is in the fall with a January due date. It was the consensus of the group that IICCA should move forward on putting together an application even though there may not be a lot of time. If this one should not get funded, then we would have a good base for the following year's application.
The first task will be to gather the needs data – current data from a variety of sources to see what's actually happening here in Indiana. Based on this, we would then need to determine the areas of expertise available and how it can be used to address the mandates of the RFP. The application will need to outline the ways in which we would be expanding what we are doing, not to pay for what we are currently doing. The evaluation will be a critical piece to include. A Statewide Needs Assessment is currently underway and includes both a consumer and a provider survey. Other specific data may be available from the Area Agencies on Aging. Department of Health may be another source of information – general health needs of an aging population. Reports that we would want to use should be no more than three years old. Other sources may be professional organizations, the Department of Education and the Health Professions Bureau (for licensing needs for continuing education). The Department of Workforce Development may also have some information on projected health needs.
Demographics of Indiana - look at: • Population segments – 65, 75, and 85 • Poverty levels –impact on access to health care • Infrastructure • Population vs facilities – rural/urban • Medically underserved areas – rural • Medical trainees that will stay in the state – by discipline • Current info from a variety of sources
Need to have visuals that are easy to read to present the information. Indiana Division on Aging is concerned by the lack of providers within the state. An example given by Peri Rogowski is the lack of people qualified to do home modifications that would allow someone to stay in their home longer.
The question was raised as to whether everyone on the Council would want to be a part of the GEC application – if yes, then send Kathy Segrist information on your school, lead contact and what focus area that you would be providing expertise.
A rural focus for the Indiana application would be a plus.
Discussion on who would be the PI and/or co-directors of the project. PI needs to have 5 years educational experience and a demonstration of funded research in geriatrics. The lead person would be the fiscal agent for the consortium. GEC grants are up to $400,000, they are available for 5 years and are renewable. First year of the project could be for planning and development of programs – for very specific objectives – the "how" – to set infrastructure. We have to decide what deliverables that we want, and also describe how we would be sustaining the GEC (at least show some progress towards funding). Sources of funding would include in-kind.
Usual lead on this type of project is a college or university. The state would be a key member of the consortium. Both Ball State and IU are interested in being leads in the project. Purdue and University of Indianapolis also want to be involved. Discussion on whose name is on the face page for the grant application – person or an institution.
Ideas for GEC programs: • Mental health for older adults – especially in underserved areas • Creating interest in middle and high school students to work with older adults • Attract well-trained professionals and faculty • Continuing education programs – especially for those in small towns • Cultivate internships and practicum – problem when facilities do not have the credential people necessary to supervise • Service learning opportunities or class projects that would let students be involved with older adults • Interdisciplinary team training (GITT/Hanford Foundation)
Lesa Huber volunteered two grad students to look for the needs data over the next two weeks. (by region, by profession – Dept of Health, IDA, Bureau of Health Professions). A matrix will be created listing the skills/expertise of both members of the IICCA and others we may need to bring on board.
The GEC application should include: • Documented need • Letters of support • Vision of what we want to do • The Council's history
Next steps: Students will look for data
Members will create a list of their expertise and suggestions for other participants - rural health (Shari Gray), Hispanic population and niche programs – Send this info to Kathy Segrist at Ball State.
Everyone will bring their individual goals and objectives to the next meeting
Next meeting: Friday, October 21st, 10:00am at Center for Aging & Community, 901 S. Shelby Street, Indianapolis.

Is the best moment of your day is when you finally can return home and wriggle out of those too-tight pants, pinching shoes, or bra with poking underwire, and engulf yourself in a big fluffy robe?
Me too. And that's why artist Lauren Maul, created the The Comfortable Girl comic blog. She describes herself as, "Just your average comfortable girl, seeking a life free form tight clothes and trying to be pretty." She's an advocate of maintaining a high-level of comfort at all times and gives cute advice for uncomfortable situations like crowded airplanes, and why you should never go to hair salons, churches, or fancy parties.
So what exactly does she find uncomfortable? "Uncomfortable stuff. Beer without proper snacks. Seeing a man masturbate while I wait for the bus. Bras. The Patriarchy. You if you're a douche." Word. Bras and patriarchy restrict my comfort level on a daily basis.
You should definitely check out all of the multi-media, adorable, and hilarious posts on The Comfortable Girl, but here are some of my favorites:
Theme Rap Part 1
First day of school
Hair Today, probably still Hair Tomorrow
Lauren Maul is also an incredibly multi-talented artist. Check out her website here.
