The Kitchn's Guide to Essential Cooking Tools & Utensils Setting Up a Kitchen What are the essential tools every cook needs in the kitchen? Last week we shared our guide to essential prep tools and utensils. So you're prepped: now what? Our new guide to the most important cooking tools takes you to the next step.
The Kitchn's Guide to Essential Prep Tools & Utensils Setting Up a Kitchen What are the essential tools every cook needs in the kitchen? Both new and experienced cooks can benefit from going back to the basics. First up: essential prep tools and utensils.
Video: Béa Johnson on Creating a Zero-Waste Kitchen Sunset It was a year ago when I first learned of Béa Johnson and her zero-waste lifestyle. Sunset featured her in the most inspiring article that immediately caught my attention, and I've been hooked ever since. It's been a year of paring back and living with less, and that includes our life in the kitchen. Here's a more detailed look at Béa's kitchen endeavors. I hope you enjoy and find her story just as inspiring!
Storage Tip: Use an Enamel Coffee Pot for Olive Oil The enemies of olive oil are air and sunlight which cause oxidation and loss of flavor. There are many ways to protect your olive oil, but the most popular is to store your oil in a tinted bottle with a spout. I also like using an old enamel coffee pot, a trick I learned from Sam Clark, chef and owner of the Moro restaurant in London.
Resolution: Make One Improvement in Your Kitchen The new year is a chance to make a fresh start in the kitchen. It's a good time to stand back and look at your space — is there a little project you've been meaning to take care of? Maybe you want to hang a pot rack? Rearrange your pots and pans so they are more organized? Hang a picture over the sink? This is the perfect kind of New Year's resolution — nothing that requires ongoing commitment. Just one small, well-selected improvement of your kitchen space.
My First Kitchen This kitchen doesn't look like much - and I'm embarrassed by my love for dyed eucalyptus at the time - but it was my first kitchen of my very own. We're looking back on our first apartments over at Apartment Therapy, and while looking back through old photos of mine, I came across this one of the kitchen:
What Are the Most Essential Dishes & Kitchen Tools? Good Questions Q: I have a quandary to crowdsource to your smart readers. I am moving halfway across the country from home and Hubs for a year for work (I'll come back a few weekends a month). I have to be pretty picky about what's worth lugging out there. I don't bake much, but I love to cook and eat just about any kind of cuisine. I'm pumped to be moving to the West Coast, Land of Magical Wintertime Farmer's Markets, so I want to be able to cook for myself and the occasional visitor or two. So--from dishes and utensils to gadgets--what do you think are the absolute essentials? Sent by Kat

Stringer a winner in many ways
Updated: November 19, 2003, 3:17 PM ET
Nancy Lieberman | Special to ESPN.com
By the time the season ends, C. Vivian Stringer could join a short, elite list of women's coaches who have won 700 games.
Even if Stringer doesn't reach the milestone this season, she's already one of the game's most accomplished coaches.Tonight's semifinal should be a great game as two of the game's brightest female coaches clash. Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer and Michigan's Cheryl Burnett -- in her first season with the Wolverines since leaving Southwest Missouri State in 2002 -- both know the game inside and out. Rutgers is riddled with injuries, so junior guard Cappie Pondexter will again be counted on to shoulder a lot of the Scarlet Knights' offense. Pondexter is an excellent scoring point guard who has excelled in Stringer's system. Rutgers seems to play better when it gets out to an early lead, so the opening minutes of tonight's game are really important for the Scarlet Knights. They play more comfortable with the lead, and it also allows them to push tempo and be really aggressive defensively and force turnovers -- things that Stringer's teams are known for. |
Nancy Lieberman, one of the most recognized individuals in women's basketball, is a men's and women's basketball analyst for ESPN. She works on ESPN and ESPN2's coverage of men's and women's college basketball, plus the WNBA and writes for ESPN.com.

DAVID BERMAN? Originally from the United States, he worked for 7 years at the Strathcona Mental Health Team as a community mental health worker. In 1989, he initiated the Dual Diagnosis Program and became its first director. Sadly, on April 4, 1991 – one day before his 44th birthday – Dave passed away. As a tribute to him, the David Berman Memorial Fund was established following his death. The aim was to host an educational event each year which would honour him by bringing together professionals sharing his commitment to bridging mental health and alcohol and drug systems. This annual conference is a tribute to his memory. CONFERENCE VISION This conference aims to inspire and support individuals to work with people with concurrent disorders by providing evidence-supported skills and strategies, highlighting latest research and resources related to concurrent disorders, and promoting networking and the sharing of information and per- spectives. Committee Listing WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This annual conference brings together an interdisciplinary group of professionals and individuals which includes: administrators/managers, alcohol and drug counsellors, community health workers, consumers, educators, families, law enforcement officers, mental health counsellors, nurses, peer support workers, physicians, policy makers, psychiatrists, psychologists, researchers, social workers, students, and all who are interested in, or who work in, the field of mental health and addictions. COMMITTEE MEMBERS Otto Lim (Conference Chair) Coordinator, Centre for Concurrent Disorders Sally Blyle, Client Liaison, Centre for Concurrent Disorders Diane Dickson, Office Manager, Centre for Concurrent Disorders Stephen Epp, Practice Coordinator, Occupational Therapy VCH Acute Care; Coordinator, Strathcona Mental Health Team Rehabilitation Program Sue Garries, Mental Health Educator, Vancouver Coastal Health Kristina Hiemstra, Director, Interprofessional Continuing Education, The University of British Columbia Dr. Shaohua Lu, Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, The University of British Columbia Michele Sutherland, Manager of Addictions, Vancouver Coastal Health COMMITTEE ADVISORY Dr. Tom Watterson, Strathcona Mental Health Team CONSULANTS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE We would like to acknowledge with special appreciation the financial contribution from the following organization: 3 MONDAY, MAY 17 8:00 Registration, Exhibits Open 8:30 Plenary: Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery Allen Berger, PhD, Clinical Director, The Institute for Effective Psychotherapy, Redondo Beach, CA Recovery involves three stages: getting clean and sober, staying clean and sober, and living clean and sober. The quality of life in recovery has to do with a person's level of emotional sobriety. The concept of emotional sobriety was first discussed by Bill Wilson in 1958 but as Dr. Berger will demonstrate, the issue has also been discussed in other ways by many famous psychotherapists like Fritz Perls, Karen Horney, Virginia Satir, Nathaniel Branden, and Murray Bowen. In this presentation Dr. Berger will discuss how emotional dependency undermines emotional recovery and needs to be addressed to establish a stable and satisfying recovery. This workshop will familiarize both professional therapists and addiction counsellors with the concept of emotional dependency and how it impacts the person in recovery. Participants will learn how to: define emotional sobriety and emotional dependency; list two characteristics of emotional dependency; and describe what it means to hold on to yourself in a relationship. 10:00 Coffee and Exhibits 10:30 Plenary: Integrating Modern Psychotherapy with the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous Allen Berger, PhD, Clinical Director, The Institute for Effective Psychotherapy, Redondo Beach, CA The 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous have proven to be the most effective treatment for addiction. Yet many myths and misperceptions about the 12 Steps exist amongst mental health professionals and addictions counsellors. Dr. Berger will shatter these myths by outlining both the general and specific therapeutic effects of the 12 Steps. His discussion will show how informed psychotherapists can be very helpful to individuals who are struggling with recovery. In this presentation Dr. Berger discusses the therapeutic benefits from working the 12 Steps, the relationship amongst the Steps, and how the 12 Steps help the addict recover the "lost self." He will also discuss specific therapeutic interventions for each Step. This workshop will familiarize both the professional therapists and addiction counsellors with how the 12 Steps interact to help the addict recover the lost self or true self. Participants will learn how to: describe how Step 1 shatters the false self; identify and name the three clusters of steps; list at least one specific therapeutic effect for each Step; and describe at least one therapeutic intervention for each Step. 12:00 Lunch (Provided) & Exhibits 1:00 PM Breakout Session: PM1 What's New in Depression: A Review of Neurobiology and Alternative Treatments (**2-hours**) Diane McIntosh, BSc Pharmacy, MD, FRCPC, Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia This session will review the current understanding of neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of depression and how this is relevant to clinical practice. Also, it will discuss the role of alternate treatments for depression in clinical practice. Participants will be able to: better understand the neuroana- tomical underpinnings of depression; apply this understanding to clinical practice; and have an appreciation for alternative treatments of depression that have empirical evidence. PM2 PM2i: Gestalt Family Therapy (90-minutes) Allen Berger, PhD, Clinical Director, The Institute for Effective Psychotherapy, Redondo Beach, CA Dr. Berger will discuss a clinical protocol to help individuals move from a state of emotional dependency to a state of emotional sobriety. He will use live clinical demonstrations and narrate a couples session facilitated by Dr. Walter Kempler, a pioneer in couples and family therapy, to illustrate the clinical dynamics and their effective treatment. This workshop will familiarize both professional therapists and addiction counsellors with a clinical protocol and specific clinical interventions to help individuals and couples move beyond emotional dependency to emotional sobriety. Participants will learn: clinical protocol for treating emotional dependency, and an intervention that will help a client learn how to hold on to themselves. PM2ii: 12 Smart Things to Do when the Booze and Drugs are Gone (90-minutes) Allen Berger, PhD, Clinical Director, The Institute for Effective Psychotherapy, Redondo Beach, CA Dr. Berger will discuss the 12 personal strategies to strengthen recovery. This presentation is based on Dr. Berger's new Hazelden book, 12 Smart Things to Do when the Booze and Drugs are Gone, a sequel to his best selling 12 Stupid Things that Mess Up Recovery. This workshop will familiarize both professional therapists, health care professionals, and addiction counsellors with an understanding of the personal strategies that strengthen recovery. Participants will learn how to describe at least 6 personal strategies to strengthen recovery. 30-minute Break for Coffee and Exhibits Continue PM1 or PM2 3:30 Adjourn for PM1 / 4:30 Adjourn for PM2 Speaker Profile: Dr. Allen Berger Dr. Berger is an internationally recognized expert in the science of addiction and recovery. He is best known for his work on integrating modern psychotherapy with the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and for his insights into emotional sobriety. He is also recognized for his outstanding work as a psychotherapist and trainer. Dr. Berger is uniquely qualified: His own personal journey in recovery started 37 years ago on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. It is noteworthy that he was a high school drop out who returned to school and eventually received a doctorate in clinical psychology from UC Davis in 1987. He was trained and mentored by two brilliant clinicians: William C. Rader, M.D., and Walter Kempler, M.D. Dr. Berger has a reputation of being a very dynamic and engaging presenter, as well as a very practical, "no-nonsense" therapist. He has presented at IDAA Annual Meetings; the Betty Ford Awareness Hours; Cedars at Cobble Hill in Canada; Cumberland Heights in Nashville - Tennessee; The Orchard - Canada; The Refuge - Florida; the Alcohol Recovery Services at San Pedro Peninsula Hospital and South Bay Hospital. 4 TUESDAY, MAY 18 8:00 Registration, Exhibits Open 8:30 Concurrent Breakout Session A: A1 Balancing the Brain: Mental Health, Medications and Substance Use (3-hours) Bayla Schecter, MD, AAFP, Regional Medical Advisor, Mental Health and Addictions, Vancouver Island Health Authority, Vancouver, BC This session will be a case-based interactive presentation of clients with mental health disorders who are using alcohol and drugs as well as medication. The workshop will focus on how medications and substance use interact and affect brain function and mental health, as well as changes that occur in the brain and mental health disorders and substance use. Participants will learn how to help clients with concurrent disorders understand the importance of medications, learn about the interaction of medications and drugs of abuse, and learn how substances of abuse affect mental health. Mindfulness and Emotion Regulation Skills in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (3-hours) A2 Alex Chapman, PhD, RPsych, President, DBT Centre of Vancouver; Assistant Professor & Associate Chair (Graduate), Department of Psychology, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC This workshop will cover some of the mindfulness and emotion regulation skills used in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, a well-established treatment for borderline personality disorder that has also demonstrated promising findings for substance use disorders. Mindfulness skills help clients learn to pay attention non-judgmentally to the experience of the present moment, and emotion regulation skills involve accurately labeling, understanding, and modulating emotional experiences. These skills can be useful for a variety of patients. This workshop will involve didactic presentations, demonstrations (e.g., video/audio clips), and practice of some mindfulness and emotion regulation skills. In this session, participants will be able to: label and define at least three key DBT mindfulness skills; describe three key emotion regulation strategies; and consider how to apply some mindfulness and emotion regulation strategies with their patients, particularly those with concurrent disorders. A3 Neuroplasticity and Chronic Pain (3-hours) Neil Pearson, Clinical Assistant Professor, The University of British Columbia; Chair, Canadian Physiotherapy Pain Science Division; Physiotherapist, Penticton, BC This workshop reviews current findings related to neuroplasticity in chronic pain. The complex, individualized effects of chronic pain will be discussed in relation to changes in the nervous systems. Thankfully some evidence exists that 'negative' neuroplastic changes can be over-powered by new adaptive changes to the nervous system. Participants will learn to: understand that neurophysiological changes occur in all aspects of the nervous system; integrate current brain imaging study findings with the experiences of people in pain; and develop a more optimistic view of recovery for people in pain. 10:00 Coffee and Exhibits 10:30 Continue A1, A2, or A3 12:00 Lunch (Provided) & Exhibits 1:00 Concurrent Breakout Session B: B1 i) Methadone 101 (90-minutes) Mary Marlow, Manager, RPN, BScPN, Manager, Addiction Services – Vancouver Community, Vancouver, BC Methadone has been used in the treatment of opioid dependence for the past 40 years, yet is still widely mistrusted as a valid and safe treatment option by many. This workshop will give participants a clear understanding of how Methadone helps opioid dependent clients regain some stability in their lives, as well as an understanding of best practices in methadone maintenance programs. Participants will: gain an understanding of the action and benefits of Methadone for opiate dependent clients; be able to discern Methadone "myths" from real and potential adverse effects; and understand interactions with other drugs and contraindications for clients with other medical conditions ii) Crack Cocaine 101 (90-minutes) Stephen Epp, Practice Coordinator, Occupational Therapy VCH Acute Care; Coordinator, Strathcona Mental Health Team Rehabilitation Program, Vancouver, BC Hugh Lampkin, Vice President, The Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users, Vancouver, BC Lucie Landry, Board Member, The Vancouver Area Network of Drugs User, Vancouver, BC Lee Wiebe, Board Member, The Vancouver Area Network of Drugs User, Vancouver, BC Diane Tobin, Pedestrian Safety Project, The Vancouver Area Network of Drugs User, Vancouver, BC This panel workshop led by people with lived experiences from the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver explores a street view of the purchasing, selling, and using of "crack cocaine." We will discuss this drug in relation to the Downtown Eastside and the experiences of members of this community. Participants will be able to explore the lived experience of how Crack Cocaine is sold and purchased in the Downtown Eastside; explore how Crack is consumed and the basic philosophy behind the "safer crack kits"; and explore the specific quality of life issues for people living in the Downtown Eastside with a co-occurring substance use and severe and persistent mental illness. Mindfulness and Emotion Regulation Skills in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (3-hours) (A2 Repeated) B2 Alex Chapman, PhD, RPsych, President, DBT Centre of Vancouver; Assistant Professor & Associate Chair (Graduate), Department of Psychology, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC Please see A2 for session description.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Prevention of Relapse in Major Depression (3-hours) C4 Mark A. Lau, PhD, Research Scientist and Director, BC Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Network, BC Mental Health & Addiction Services; Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC MBCT is a group intervention integrating cognitive behaviour therapy for depression with mindfulness meditation to teach formerly depressed patients new skills to help prevent relapse/recurrence. Increased mindfulness allows early detection of relapse-related patterns of negative thinking, feelings, and body sensations. Formulation of specific relapse prevention strategies are included in the later stages of treatment. MBCT is now included in the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) Guidelines in the United Kingdom for prevention of recurrent depression. At the end of this session participants will be able to: demonstrate an understanding of the link between the development of MBCT and a model of cognitive vulnerability to depression; recall information of the empirical support for MBCT for the prevention of depressive relapse; and explain the key structural elements of MBCT. 10:00 Coffee and Exhibits 10:30 Continue C1, C2, C3, and C4 12:00 Lunch (Provided) & Exhibits 6 WEDNESDAY, MAY 19 (CONTINUED) 1:00 Concurrent Breakout Session D: D1 Genetics, Drugs, and Cognitive Control: Individual Differences Underlying Substance Dependence (90-minutes) Travis Edward Baker, PhD Student, Department of Psychology, Brain and Cognitive Science, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC There is empirical evidence that substance dependence depends on a confluence of biological, cognitive, genetic, and personality-related factors that conspire to cause some people to pursue substances of abuse and other people to eschew them entirely: By acting on the abnormal reinforcement learning system of the genetically vulnerable, addictive drugs hijack the control system to reinforce maladaptive drug-taking behaviours. The goal of this workshop is to provide a basic introduction to cognitive neuroscience and its applications to study addiction. Topics of this lecture will go over biological, cognitive, genetic, and personality-related factors that underly addiction, and the presenter will describe research findings that show how these factors conspire to cause some people to pursue substances of abuse. D2 Recognizing and Incorporating Knowledge of Historical Traumas in Your Work with Aboriginal Clients (90-minutes) Alanaise Goodwill, PhD, Outreach Clinician and Psychologist, Aboriginal Child and Youth Mental Health, Chilliwack, BC For those who work with Aboriginal clients in concurrent disorder settings, the understanding and application of knowledge of the historical traumas faced by Aboriginal peoples specifically will be covered in this workshop.

By attending this session, participants will: gain knowledge of multiple approaches to conducting culturally safe and historically informed assessments and interventions with Aboriginal clients; gain access to sources of knowledge that will enrich and facilitate the ongoing learning process; and be able to have the opportunity to dialogue and enhance their collaborative learning based on one another's experiences. D3 A Thousand Dreams: Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (90-minutes) Neil Boyd, Professor and Associate Director, School of Criminology, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC Lori Culbert, Investigative Reporter, The Vancouver Sun, Vancouver, BC Larry Campbell, Senator and former Mayor, Vancouver, and Chief Coroner, BC The Downtown Eastside is a neighbourhood at risk, but it is also home to a vital community of people who believe passionately in its future. The authors of this book—Larry Campbell, former Vancouver mayor and chief coroner for British Columbia; Neil Boyd, a leading criminologist and commentator on drug policy; and award-winning journalist, Lori Culbert—create a multi-faceted portrait of that community, drawing on their own experiences as they wade into the controversies and offer concrete, urgently needed solutions. A compelling mix of history, political analysis, and first-person accounts, A Thousand Dreams raises crucial questions for all of North America's major cities. After the session, participants will be able to: understand the problems of the Downtown Eastside; understand the resilience of the neighbourhood; and understand solutions to the problems of drug addiction.

Title: Moving plants for extreme drought from Greencastle IN
Answered by: Barbara Medford
In exceptional drought here in Indiana, I am looking at weeds that may become my next perennials! How do I move what my dad called ragged robins from the edges of roads. They are blue and could be wild flax or something like that. I also want to use Queen Anne's lace, perhaps iron weed. You know it's bad when the lantana I bought are not doing well..too much chlorine instead of Ma Nature? Also, my peonies have both the white mold and brown spots on them. Is that drought related too? I try to water some from under the leaves and muse the chlorine vs. dying benefits..Thank you!ANSWER:
Do you mind if we ignore identifying the roadside flowers you mention, all of which, by the by, are non-native and/or invasive to North America and out of our frame of reference. We have answered another question on moving a specific plant from a roadside, please read the answer by following this link: Moving flowers from roadside.
We know this sounds tempting because the weeds are alive while many of your own garden plants are failing. We would like to offer the idea that you should choose plants native to your area, drought resistant. Properly planted and cared for, these plants have a far better chance of thriving and you won't have populated your garden with plants you may soon wish gone.
Quick side comment on your question about peonies and chlorine. There are two members of the Paeonia (peony) genus native to North America: Paeonia brownii (Brown's peony) and Paeonia californica (California peony), neither of which is native to Indiana, but to the Far West. Yours are either introduced from Asia or way out of their territory, which may be the problem. As for the chlorine, we have researched before whether chlorinated city or pool water can harm plants. Here is part of our reply:
"Pool water is very similar in makeup to the city water right out of the tap. Many people water their lawns with higher chlorine and lower pH than is found in their pool." So we don't think chlorine is your problem with the peony. From the Garden Helper, here is an article on the growth and care of peonies.
Now, at last, back to your original problem on what to do in a drought- and heat-stricken garden. We say again, plants that are native to where you are gardening will have in their genetic code ways to cope with these conditions, because they have been coping with them for millions of years. We will direct you to our Native Plant Database; using the Combination Search, select Indiana, and then the Habit (shrubs, trees, grasses, etc). Since we do not know the conditions of light in your garden, we will specify only "dry" under Soil Moisture when we make our sample list. Once you have learned to use the database you can select light, projected height, even bloom color and time.
Herbs (herbaceous blooming plants) for Indiana:
Asclepias tuberosa (Butterflyweed)
Callirhoe involucrata (Winecup)
Shrubs for Indiana:
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (Kinnikinnick)
Dasiphora fruticosa (Shrubby cinquefoil)
Trees for Indiana:
Cercis canadensis var. canadensis (Eastern redbud)
Grasses (not lawn grasses) for Indiana:
Sorghastrum nutans (Indiangrass)
Schizachyrium scoparium (Little bluestem)
One last thing. This is just a sample list, you are not bound to any of our selections, of course. But you will have difficulty finding them or any others you may select from our Native Plant Database in your large commercial nurseries or home improvement stores. Go to our National Suppliers Directory and enter your town and state or your zip code in the "Enter Search Location" box. You will get a list of native seed suppliers, nurseries and consultants for your general area. There is contact information for each, so you can call or e-mail before you go for information.

Very good
Great Location
A club works under the Hotel it gets VERY noisy during the night!
We had to knock on a door to find someone to book us in, but we liked it all. Nice and informal, and the room was much better than we expected for the price.
I liked the room it was modern and warm
The bed was very uncomfortable it was like sleeping on a stone also the music blasted till 2 am and the walls are paper thin you could hear people in the next room
Music was too loud had to check in another hotel
Good location
it's a pub/disco rather than a hotel. there is loud music until late in the night and walls are extremely thin, therefore it's like having a club in your room. no way to sleep before 2.30am, Monday-Sunday
Great staff. Nicely renovated room. Location near city centre.
Reception not permanently staffed, but not a great problem as staff was very observant when I was seeking help. Be observant that the noice level from the pub below the hotel rooms may be high during weekends.
adelle was extremely helpful prior to me checking in and during my brief stay
I have stayed in hotels in Manchester for simialr prices of far lower quality. Friendly staff who will try to accommodate if you want a quieter room, close to city centre with bus stops right outside.
Great place and great location and friendly staff
After I checked in and went out for a couple of hours. I came back to find a drag queen getting ready in my room! I really just laughed. No harm done. Was a genuine hiccup on behalf of reception. Just lucky I didn't have any luggage or valuables left in the room though and I was moved to another, better room. A story to cherish.
The location was ideal for the venue we wanted to attend, only a couple of hundred yards away. This was the sole reason for booking this place over any others.
The room (Number 9) was barely big enough to house the double bed, meaning that you could hardly walk around it. As a result, there was next to no room to put things like suitcases especially when unpacked. The room would be more suitable as a single bed room. The toilet seat lid was missing. But the bathroom was good overall. The bed mattress was how old? Very saggy in the middle. The main issue: the paper-thin walls. I'm not exagerrating in any sense when I say you can hear the people in the next room breaking wind, the walls are that thin. Ridiculous. You could hear everything going on, and therefore they could hear what we were doing, to the point where I was convinced there was an open connecting door between the rooms. And the other noise. I appreciate the venue is a pub, with music. But music that is loud enough that it rattles the cups and other items in the room? Are you kidding me? And this went on til way past the advertised 2.30am time, it was getting on for past 3.15am. Then there was the added "bonus" that after the venue had closed, we had the shutter doors slamming up and down and hundreds of empty bottles being poured into a skip, smashing and rattling, at around 4am. So all in all, with the music, the endless noises from other rooms, and the post-closure cleanup, it ended up that we got around 1hrs sleep that night. Definitely won't be returning here.
Big room with a comfortable bed. Location is great, close to the city center and Picadilly station.
Absolutely noisy hotel in the second floor of a gay pub. I couldn't sleep until 3am due to a concert downstairs. The music was very, very loud.
Brilliant location, great bed, ensuite is good, staff friendly
Shared bathroom certain rooms, noisy at night on weekends
Very accommodating staff, friendly and went over and above to make our stay a brilliant experience.
Close to the center og art museum
Disco-like musik is very loud until midnight hours
Staff & helpfulness
Paper walls! We stayed on a Monday when there is no show on & pub closes at half ten. Hotel seemed very quiet until about 1am , when a group of three lads came to the room next door. They were drunk & carried on the party & you can hear EVERY word, the walls are that thin. Yes, it is near the village, but there was no noise from there once everything closed. Noise is ok up to a point but you do expect it to die down & people to have some consideration & not be screeching & screaming at the top of their voices for hours at 1,2,3 am... After a while I politely asked them to keep the noise down as it was approaching 3am. They were polite, but there is no night reception & the noise continued. About 3.15 a drunk naked man knocked on our door after getting lost & this was the last straw. We got up & drove home at 4.30am & went to bed when we got home at 7am. Lovely hotel & lovely staff, stay here if you are up for a party, but don't expect ANY sleep! We like a party as much as anyone but 3am on a Monday? No thanks!
Near university
Very very noisy through out the night. Basically the rooms are directly about a cabaret, disco, karaoke bar which is open every night of the week well in to the early hours. I was actually offered earplugs at the reception! Also breakfast is not the norm. Had to go looking for someone to get the breakfast I had ordered. No one was around at 8.15 am.
Location Good quality sheet
Wifi did not work Too noisy uncomfortable mattress
The room was huge and very comfortable and cleaned everyday we were there. As we were on a tight budget we were eating pot noodles so the staff kindly left some forks and spoons for us while we were out. The location was perfect.
The staff and people was so lovely and helpfull
Everytime I took a breathe my bed creaked
Location to cc and place was clean
Equipment cheap. Could be done out really well
If your looking for a place to hold your bag and sleep after a night out that's also in a good location then its great.
Booked a Quadruple Room which in the picture shows 1 double bed and 2 singles but we ended up getting 2 double beds. No lock on the bathroom door which wasn't a problem for me and friends but should be mentioned.
Location. Modern look room with good ensuite bathroom. Decent size bed. Value for central location.
Noise. Absent reception staff.

NC Education LotterySubmitted by terribly saddened (not verified) on Tue, 05/20/2008 - 8:02am.
I am an educator with New Hanover County Schools and have yet to see all the wonderful benefits of the NC lottery. All the commercials are boasting of smaller class sizes and I am still seeing crammed classes with too many kids needing more individualized instruction. And we wonder why our students are dropping out and falling behind other states. We need to put more money into the schools and less into politician's hands.
