Shuffling cards
What do you prefer when you'te playing live game poler, a machine mixing or dealer (human) mixing cards.
After a while I've saw something new for me. It was a HU on final table in Brasil WSOP and the players requested one more dealer just for mixing and preparing the second deck for the next hand.
re: Poker & Shuffling cards
As I understand your question and that first you went once a situation in Brazil that used two dealers to give the letters that, if that some types of tournaments and sometimes houses make that kind of speed, so that the tournament runs faster, I have seen it, more on the issue of human dealers or machines to make sure card who plays live human dealers prefer to give the cards.
I play live tournaments so I want a mechanical shuffle - Shufflemaster or whatever brand. It is important to be dealt as many hands as possible per level or at least a similar number of hands as other tables in an mtt. When you are playing a hand shuffled tournament and you are hit with 2 or 3 dealers in a row who happen to be the slowest in hands dealt per hour in the house when you are in the prime stack building part of the tournament it puts you at a disadvantage to the tables who have not been hit with the sloths. Throw in a couple pe-flop tankers and you are really screwed. So I am 100% for mechanical shuffles.
From a quality of shuffling perspective I don't care whether it's by hand or machine - both are just as good as each other.
Machine is undeniably faster though, which will be why they requested the second dealer for that heads up game. If you've got a heads up match that's going for a while and there's players folding preflop quite often you'll spend more time waiting for shuffling than you will actually playing.
I know some people think the machines equal rigged hands, but I have seen live dealers that could stack the deck so quick your head would spin and you couldn't tell they were doing it. I don't see the point either way unless the dealer has a bud playing.
I run two poker rooms in Michigan, (company owns 5 total), one of my rooms has one SM and the other has none. A third/fourth room of ours has two SM each, and the 5th has none.
We only use them for our bigger cash games, they put out a few more hands per hour, making more money and players happy.
The good reliable shufflers (SM) are very expensive so most poker rooms, casinos included, will not have that many, so its tough to justify using them for tournaments which make very little money for the house, and getting more hands out there does not rake more money for anyone. In fact, the only tournaments I have ever seen them used in are WSOP, and they only use like 20 or so, and only when deep in the money of tournaments, and smaller really high buy ins (10k's).
Some respondents do not realize the question is saying the machine just shuffles, the dealer still cuts the deck and pitches out the cards and runs the game, but can put out more hands per hour with a machine pre-shuffling a deck before a hand.
A machine will only be a better "shuffler", as far as mixing the cards, than a bad dealer (which yes there are some), but against a good dealer they will be an even match, just a touch faster (though some dealers can shuffle as fast at it would take to load the shuffler with old deck and take the new one out - I am pretty close myself - so not really that much faster - maybe 2 or 3 more hands per down).
I think the high end players just like the 'feel' of the game when one is used. You realize this when watching the WSOP tournaments deep in the money using the shufflers, it doesnt speed it up the game at all because they are playing so slow to begin with at that level.
They are money makers for sure and help with keeping dealers wrists in good shape so I like them for sure.
HOWEVER conspiracy theorists take note, some of these new shufflers can sort cards, Ill just leave it at that..............
re: Poker & Shuffling cards
Also the Isle another large FL room uses auto-shufflers in tournaments from hand one as well.I am sure there are others in Florida that use auto-shuffler in tournaments.
Edit: As a side note I found out today HardRock Tampa stopped all food service in the poker room. Watching people eat with their hands and then touch their chips and lick wing sauce off their fingers right after they touched those filthy chips made me want to vomit every time I played. lol

The threat of hooliganism when Manchester United play Rangers in the Champions League has led to security measures being implemented to force supporters of the Scottish club to the DW Stadium in Wigan as an official holding ground in the hours before kick-off.
The two clubs are so determined to avoid a mass invasion of Rangers fans into central Manchester they have asked Wigan Athletic for permission to use their ground for "catering and rest facilities" as the only stop-off point on the journey from Glasgow.
Wigan's stadium has also been designated as the official ticket-collection point before a police escort takes the supporters to Old Trafford in a convoy of buses. It will be one of the biggest security operations ever for a match at Old Trafford and has similarities to the measures that have been implemented in the notoriously sensitive matches between Millwall and Leeds United, when supporters have been taken to a service station on the M1 to collect their tickets under heavy police presence.
Rangers have been allocated 4,700 tickets and have stipulated that only registered travel-club members will be eligible to apply and that everyone who is successful must travel on official coaches, with no option but to adhere to the Wigan plan. "All fans will meet at the DW Stadium where they will then be transported to Old Trafford," Rangers said in a statement. "There will be no exceptions."
The club will run a campaign in the build-up to the match on 14 September aimed at discouraging fans from travelling independently. "Supporters without tickets are strongly advised not to travel."
The measures have been brought in after a series of meetings over the last few days involving both clubs, Greater Manchester Police, Strathclyde Police and supporters' group representatives, with the priority being to ensure there are as few Rangers fans in Manchester city centre as possible.
An estimated 150,000 fans invaded Manchester when the team reached the Uefa Cup final in 2008, and when a giant television screen showing the match crashed it led to several hours of rioting, causing hundreds of thousands of pounds' worth of damage. The then prime minister, Gordon Brown, branded the fans "a disgrace" and the first minister, Alex Salmond, described the violence as "shocking and unacceptable."
Two years on, the biggest fear of the police is that ticketless Rangers supporters will again travel in large numbers, and that the potential for trouble has been exacerbated because United's own hooligan element will be seeking revenge.
The fears are such that when Gary Neville, the United club captain, identified Rangers earlier this year as the opposition for his testimonial match the idea was vetoed by the police and Manchester City Council.
There are also concerns about a large number of English trouble-makers planning wide-scale problems when Sir Alex Ferguson's team travel to Ibrox on 24 November and officials from both clubs are expected to discuss the matter when Uefa host a security workshop for Champions League clubs in Vienna tomorrow.
United are facing a reduced ticket allocation for their Premier League game at Sunderland on 2 October because of problems with persistent standing when they have visited the Stadium of Light in previous seasons.
League rules stipulate that away supporters should be given a minimum 3,000 tickets but Sunderland successfully applied to reduce the number to 1,700 last season and are applying for the same again. This has become a recurring theme for United over the last few years, with several clubs including Bolton Wanderers, Middlesbrough and Aston Villa taking similar action.

Meita: Ear piece
I take the earpiece and leave Aurili in the kitchen. I go straight to my room avoiding everyone. I slip the earpiece in then.... wait.
"Ahh, Meita. So nice to now you worked it out" Apocalypse voice comes clear.
"You've got Ashton" I push the thought through but keeping it away from Kayden.
"Yes, but he came of his own free will....... I want you to join as well"
I hear a cold laugh. "Are you sure? I'm only going to chose a few and besides I have Contemno"
"You wouldn't dare use him on me"
"Maybe not...... but I read your file Meita" God, how many people have read my file I hardly know the gist of it and it's my life. "You are very..... loyal"
Then it hits me. "Don't you dare hurt anyone or you'll have me to deal with"
"That's why I'm offering a choice much like Ian's you..... or them?"
Then he was gone. I removed the earpiece and used the air pressure to crush it. The begin to softly cry...... then fury burns through my veins.
I hate this.... I will not be thrown around.

I would say not to that one but I'm not as enamored of Clutterbuck as some other Pens fans are. IMO if the Pens are giving up Despres and a 1st it should be for a better long term solution.

I don't think you'd have a hard time getting Pens fans to throw in Kennedy on any proposal. That said I prob wouldn't do either of these.
On the second one, regardless of value I don't think the Pens can afford to trade Orpik right now. He's playing huge minutes and he & Paul Martin seem to have found their games while paired up. I wouldn't want to mess with that pairing.
Before anyone says it I know you need to give to get. I would just prefer if the Pens were

On the blog New Liturgical Movement, Peter Kwasniewski lamented what he termed "spiritual illiteracy" among many Catholics. Who can argue? I think most Catholics, myself included, feel they have an inadequate knowledge of the faith.
And yet, the success of the durable "Alien" franchise, which dates all the way back to 1979, and was last added to by the 2012 reboot "Prometheus," would seem to argue otherwise.

What's the name of your experience?
Virtual Dragon Riding Simulator With The Gun
Please describe your creation.
I was born in the Year of the Dragon in the Japanese sexagenary cycle.
I did not know whether it was the result, but I liked a dragon from old days.(it is King gidorah to be the oldest!) Therefore the video game which I like most is Panzer Dragoon. I still have the trilogy of Sega Saturn in a state to be able to play. However, as for the Panzer Dragoon, Orta was forgotten last. Why is it? Why can I not play to Panzer Dragoon in Wii remote and Kinect? This is a game for dragon enthusiasts by the dragon enthusiast which such I made. There is you on a dragon when you start a game. Please fire away with the gun of the low latency using the tool tracking of LEAP Motion! (I recommend Wii remote + Stick)
One more thing!
This game can link modified Panasonic JOBA. You make the genuine dragoon gunner with the back of a moving dragon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IemQ4A0loCc Do you not want to ride a dragon in New York?
Programming language?
Your web site or portfolio (optional)?
Thank you! :)
It does not need Wiimote. (but I recommend it!) It only needs a long stick for LEAP Motion Tool Tracking and fire button (default: Mouse click or Z key). I recommend White or opaque vivid color pen.
And, The appearance of the target stops on the way if you do not shoot down a target. A target continues appearing until the end of the music when you shoot down a target.
Please enjoy it!
I was unable to get the pointer to work (I don't have a wiimote so I couldn't try that part as well), but just riding on the back of the dragon was fun. I have an excercise ball and I was able to try bouncing on that while riding it. That was a trip! It was strange to be on the edge of sim sickness one second because of vestibular disconnect, and then start bouncing and feel totally fine (it even felt like I was experiencing higher g-forces on the bounce up, and that fit with this feeling that I was accelerating upward very quickly).
Unfortunately it seems like the 3D scenery runs out about half way into the song. I would really have liked more to look at.
The dragon model was cool. I'm glad I tried this out.
Great Job! Very fun to play!
This works pretty well (using mouse). I definitely felt dizzy too until I tried bouncing up and down a bit in my seat. The balance ball idea is neat, we can get our exercise and shoot things from dragon-back at the same time, win!
I upload new file that applied SDK hotfix.
Please retry it!
I feel dizzy.
Sorry, Dragon's movement is adjusted for riding on a JOBA now.
I recommend you sit down on balance ball and you bob.
Pros: The music is good and background looks good.
Cons: Constant bobbing of the dragon causes motion sickness easily :/
okay I've got it to work
didn't have a wii controller so I just mouse click to fire while holding a pencil
I can definitely see this being a new panzer dragoon :)
-force-opengl works but it's made the screen off center
Do you use the Extend mode? Then it may be a bug of Oculus SDK. Please try -force-d3d9 and -force-opengl.
hmm, Anything runs without a problem in my Windows 8.1 64bit environment. Rather x86 build of 2.2.0 did not run.
Because I was resident in Japan, and there was difference in time, it was impossible to go back up in x86.
I make x86 build later and send it by an email.
I have a 64bit version of windows 7 but no unity leap motion vr game works in 64bit mode for me. It's also mentioned in the jam overview page not to use 64bit.
Really? I am very sorry.
I build this in 64bit, is your Windows 64bit?
Are Oculus Runtime 0.4.3 and LEAP 2.2.0 installed?
Please e-mail me output_log.txt if not yet recovered even if you try the above.
Looks cool but can't get it to run unfortunatley

As far as movies go I love psychological thrillers, horror flicks (ghost to slasher,) comedies, drama, and some romantic comedies if they're not too cliched (let's face it that's like 2)
I love all kinds of music so it's hard to pick a favorite but the short list as of right now is: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jay Z, Plain White T's, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Glitch Mob, X-Fusion, ACDC, Pitbull, Brad Paisley (yes I love country...don't judge), Trace Adkins, Hiromi, Eldar Djangarov, The White Tie Affair, The Juliana Theory, The Who, Eric Church, Keith Anderson, Rise Against, Disturbed, Amber Pacific, and Story of the Year.
As for food I'm Italian so home cooked Italian is probably my favorite. I'm also part Spanish (from Spain) so I like that too. But I'm adventurous so I'll try anything.

Some of our test names are quite long. Browse the existing ones for some examples. You may test multiple assertions in one test case, if that makes sense. For example, a setter and getter pair should generally be tested together, with separate assertions for each within the test case. For historical reasons, most of the JDO 1 tests test only one assertion, but you should not stick to that precedent. >d.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to: Homemade Guacamole
Garlic isn't just a fascination; it's a way of life. In my life, I use it in damned near everything. Especially when I make guacamole.
I've tried guac sans garlic. Many restaurants that serve tableside guacamole combine the smashed avocado with more spices and ingredients than necessary and exclude garlic. Have you tried it at Rocco's Tacos in Boca yet? Some liked it. I wasn't impressed.
Great guac doesn't consist of half your spice rack. Besides using Hass avocados (instead of Florida), all you really need to complete your perfect guacamole creation is garlic. You can thank me later.
To serve four (roughly, or two to three really hungry people), mash 3 Hass avocados to your desired consistency. I like it somewhat chunky. Others like it smooth and creamy.
Mix the mash with ½ a chopped onion and 3-4 medium minced (or grated) garlic cloves. Instead of chopped tomatoes, I use 2 tablespoons of chunky salsa (Pace Picante is good). Add in 2 healthy pinches of dried cilantro, with salt, pepper, and ground red pepper to taste. Juice with half a lime and refrigerate for at least one hour before eating.

Mike: Tweaking anywaysMature
The next morning I get despite the many bruise I had recieved the previouse day. I still wasn't allowed to leave my cozy little habitat so I thought to make it more homely tweaking was to be done. I began to unpack my bag but inside the bag slowly make a device capalble of overloading the power that is supplied to my house. Once I'm done putting the device together I set it to overload in 30 minutes to make things less susipicouse. Then I would have five wonderful minutes to reprogram the street bot before it activates to go beat me. Afterwards I can program ,and tweak everything to my liking for an hour or so before bots are and other maitenance workers come to investigate.
Half an hour passes by and then the fun begins. I rush to the street bot and begin to open a compartment on the back in this compartment was a bullet proof vault that held all key systems. I wacked it open with on precise hit with the wrench. I started with ripping out its connection to the other robot and opened up a small keyboard thing. It didn't take to long to program it onto my side of things. with 3o seconds to go I tweak its connection device to not take any updates. After that was all setteled I started with the cameras. I simply took the alarm system offline and killed the connecting update device. I would have to do more further tweaking in the future for these.
My favourite part was tweaking the television to go on only when I wanted it too. Which may be never but to go on when visitors are coming. By visitors I mean bots , and investigators. After all the excitement I discarded my device through the incenrating garbage bin. I used to be paid for tweaking variouse house elements after work during the night this wall during an uprising though it was somewhat safer then, than it is now.
I heard the sound of the transport pod getting captured in my enterance way. Two supervise bots two maitenance workers , and one death bot came into my new home,and took the liberty to slam me upagianst a wall and hold a gun to my head. The two supervising bots hit the maitenance guys and they began to take out sensors that I guessed could detect differnet power outputs , and reprogramming. I didn't want to be over confident but I was sure that woulnd't find anything the matter. Once they got the power back on they left with giving me a small beating as token of there good will.
Shortly afterwards I got my job overview giving me locations to meet up with other workers and sector names. I was looking after a sector named QA-24 and I was to report tommorow morning and still wasn't allowed to leave the house. I could probably leave without to much trouble but the cameras outside would catch me , so it was futile. I went to my bedroom radio. Radio was the best way to listen to fellow uprisers and others who aim to live a better life. The problem was which ones where the real thing, and which ones where goverment operated. I tuned onto a very good sounding radio frequency it ended with the host say
" Freedom star 1"
I never put a lot of trust in any radio person but this person sounded genuine I will perhaps listen later when I have the time.

Re: Welcome to the New PlayStation Forums
My question of the day. What was wrong with the old layout? It had a bubbly feel to it with the different game icons sections. This feels too white and no that isn't racist. It is just too white. Well someone send me an email when they officially added a dark theme. That would be greatly appreciated!
Re: Welcome to the New PlayStation Forums
Yeah, we actually did this a month or so ago. We got feedback that no one was using tags, so we decided to remove them, integrate Labels, and that way we can increase the organization on PS General. It's been working pretty well imo, but definitely use the Labels if you haven't already =)
Re: Welcome to the New PlayStation Forums
Then a year from now the forum layout will change again lol.

Memories of Biggin Hill
My Birthplace
I was born in Norheads Lane before ww2 but sadly had to leave at the outbreak of war. The bungalow I was born in was called Burghill and my grandparents lived nearby at a house called Sheridan which has now been replaced by townhouses as far as I know. I also had relatives further down Norheads Lane. I haven't been down there again for many years and even the last time in 1980's it had changed beyond recognition. I remember the shop called Temple's and the greengages we used to pick on our way home from this shop. Happy Days !!!
Family Home
This house has been my families home for over sixty years ... Love this house

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Cullen Jones set a meet record in winning his second event and Kelsey Ditto and South Africa's Troy Prinsloo also became multi-event winners Sunday during the final day of the Charlotte UltraSwim.
Jones, who won a gold medal with the U.S. team in the men's 400-meter freestyle relay at the 2007 World Championships, bettered the meet record in winning the 100 freestyle at the Mecklenburg Aquatic Center.
Jones, who won the 50 freestyle Saturday, won Sunday in 49.37 seconds - bettering the mark of 49.57 set last year by Cesar Cielo - and beat Benjamin Hockin of Britain by one second.
Ditto, a freshman at Georgia who won the women's 800 freestyle three days earlier, easily won the 1,500 freestyle Sunday. Her time of 16:40.13 was nearly four seconds better than Aleksa Akerfelds, with defending UltraSwim event champion Whitney Sprague third.
Prinsloo, who set a meet record in winning the men's 800 freestyle Thursday, took the 1,500 freestyle Sunday. The Georgia sophomore's time of 8:01.74 was nearly 5 seconds better than Venezuela's Ricardo Monasterio.
Two other meet records were broken during the final day of the Grand Prix Series meet, both in women's events.
Ava Ohlgren, who won the women's 200 individual medley at the NCAA Championships in March, bettered the UltraSwim meet record by nearly a second in that event. Her time of 2:12.97 bettered the mark of 2:13.80, set in 2007 by Caitlin Leverenz.
Elizabeth Beisel, who finished second in the 100 backstroke and third in the 200 butterfly Saturday, won the women's 200 individual medley by nearly 3 seconds over Julianne McLane.
The 15-year-old U.S. National team swimmer had bettered a 16-year-old meet record during the preliminary rounds, with her time of 2:11.07. She eclipsed the mark of 2:12.49 set by Lea Loveless in 1992.
Other event winners Sunday were Katherine McDonald in the women's 50 breaststroke, Mark Gangloff in the men's 50 breaststroke, Canada's Keith Beavers in the men's 200 individual medley, Doug Van Wie in the men's 200 backstroke, and Kara Denby in the women's 100 freestyle.

GMC automobile drivers have come to expect a certain level of reliability when driving their FC100 around town. You bought your FC100 because its dependability and longevity agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts?

If you see oil leaks, coolant leaks, or exhaust of an unusual color coming out of your tailpipe, a replacement cylinder head gasket set is probably going to be required to fix the engine in your car or truck. A new GMC FC100 cylinder head gasket set will include new head gaskets, intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and all the seals for the valve stems, PCV and EGR valves, camshaft, and more. All of the components included in your cylinder head gasket set will be made of original equipment quality materials or better; making them ideal for your vehicle.
Don't let a broken Cylinder Head Gasket Sets spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the best replacement parts.

Combining everything that players love about the ukulele with the crisp sound of a banjo, the Recording King Madison banjo ukulele (or banjolele) is a unique instrument that you'll love. The maple neck and maple rim give it a bright tone with great projection, and the coordinator rod and 10 brackets are a nod to classic banjo-style construction.
The Rocky Top RT-TB-17 tenor banjo is perfect for Celtic music. The 17-fret tenor banjo is most commonly thought of as the "Irish tenor" and is tuned G,D,A,E (4th to 1rst fret) and has a scale length of 21".
There's a banjo band in the Pizza Parlor near you--go on down and see how much fun it is to play the four-string banjo!
Every Dixieland Jazz Band needs a 4-string tenor banjo--it's the foundation of the rhythm. If you're starting to learn the tenor, your best choice for a first instrument is the RB-20T by Rover®.
The Rocky Top RT-TB-19 tenor banjo is perfect for any folk player But this 19-fret tenor banjo can be used for Traditional Jazz (Dixieland) and Irish music as well. This is a 4 string banjo and is usually tuned C,G,D,A (4th to 1st fret).
The Recording King Dirty 30's Tenor Banjo brings 100 years of history into the present, road-ready vibe of the Dirty 30's line. The tenor banjo first came to prominence in the early 1900's, and its C-G-D-A tuning is especially well suited for folk, Celtic and Dixieland music. The tenor is a unique banjo for players looking to add a traditional vibe to their sound, and the perfect crossover instrument for mandolin, violin, viola and cello players.
The Plectrum style four-string banjo is enjoying a new wave of popularity with consequently a growing demand for a moderately priced instrument with all the professional features at a price accessible to all.
Players of the four-string tenor banjo have few choices when it comes to quality student instruments. Rover® has filled the gap with a moderately-priced tenor with a host of professional features--the new model RB-25T.
The Plectrum 4-string banjo is a versatile instrument--whether anchoring the rhythm in a Jazz band or in the hands of the virtuoso soloist. In recent years, there have been few choices for the intermediate player--unless you have many thousands of dollars for a vintage collectible! Now, Rover® introduces a banjo worthy of a place in any musical combination--the Rover® RB-35P Plectrum! The novel aluminum rim with its integrated bracket band gives professional tone and volume that you can't find elsewhere at this price point. The slim, professional neck and correctly designed resonator give ample proof that this banjo was designed by a player for other players. The Rover® RB-35P Plectrum banjo will inspire you to new musical heights!

Sir Peter Bonfield has often said that he's not a quitter. Indeed, the BT chief executive prides himself on his dogged ability to remain in one of the UK's toughest jobs. But, while Bonfield may be hanging on to power, the empire he built at BT is quickly disappearing from beneath his feet. The launch of last week's historic £5.9 billion rights issue, which coincided with BT racking up quarterly losses of £2.8bn, the first deficit since it was privatised 17 years ago, is testimony to the fact that Bonfield's vision of turning BT into a global telecoms giant no longer looks possible.
BT has managed to amass debts of £28bn, thanks to a global shopping spree aimed at making the company a communications powerhouse. But in a bid to cut its debts down to size, BT is now dismantling itself. The end of empire is nigh.
The company has already said goodbye to some of its Asian assets, notably its Japanese stakes, which were once so highly prized by Bonfield. Other minority stakes in the Far East will follow. BT also wants to sell its stake in Concert, its international arm, which in the last three months lost £89 million, to joint partner AT&T. Ignite, its broadband business services division, which only last year BT was trumpeting as one of the jewels in its crown, will also be lumped in with Concert as a sweetener. Yell, the directories division, will go, once complications involving the Office of Fair Trading, which wants the division to revise its pricing policies, are sorted out. And then last week BT announced its wireless division would be demerged as a separate company valued at up to £20bn. The company also concedes that Openworld, its internet division, might be hived off in the future.
Which pretty much just leaves the new BT running its UK network, a position not markedly dissimilar from the job of old BT before it was privatised. BT had talked about floating 25 per cent of the network by injecting it into a new parent company, provisionally titled Netco. These plans, too, have been scrapped.
'What's left is what BT started with in 1984, before it went on all of its shopping trips,' said Maev Sullivan, an independent telecoms consultant. But last week BT signalled that it now seems content to rein in its ambitions. 'If you're an incumbent operator it doesn't mean you're well equipped to compete in a harsh environment. BT now seems to accept that it is a network operator and that's what it should stick to,' Sullivan added.
This is an ignominious conclusion for a company that was once the UK's most valued business. At the height of the internet boom BT's was valued at nearly £100bn. There had been merger talks with Telefonica of Spain to create a telecoms giant. Prior to this there were discussions with MCI of the US and the UK's Cable & Wireless. Today BT is valued at £35bn and, in a symbolic move, the company is quitting its City headquarters to save cash.
Analysts have yet to be convinced that a stripped down BT, whose share price closed on Friday at 527p compared with an all-time high of more than £15, will be the answer to investors' prayers. 'We're looking at a price of £5.40, which means the company is fairly valued. We don't see that there is huge untapped value,' said Paul Mount, telecoms analyst at Nomura.
Certainly there was little in last week's announcement to set pulses racing in the City. 'BT's intentions were well flagged to the market in advance. Investors will have to wait to see what the constituent parts are worth when they're sold off,' said Paul Sharma, telecoms analyst with JP Morgan Chase
BT Wireless, which owns mobile operators in Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands, faces tough times, too. 'Their 3G [wireless internet] model looks uncertain,' Mount said. As the prospectus for last week's rights issue acknowledged: 'BT cannot give its shareholders any assurance that BT will make an economic return from its investments in 3G licences or networks.'
But BT's biggest challenges may not be financial, or even strategic. Like its counterparts on the Continent, Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom, which have also seen their share prices slump alarmingly, BT is pilloried for having a civil service mentality. Critics say that this means it's hard for the company to take decisions and implement business plans.
'The problem is BT's culture and I don't think you can do anything about that,' Sullivan said. The jettisoning of chairman Sir Iain Vallance last month was seen by some as a step forward. His replacement, Sir Christopher Bland, the hard-nosed, tough-talking chairman of the BBC board of governors, was seen as a signal that BT is keen to turn over a new leaf and lose its fusty image.
But intention is one thing, implementation is another. BT, as a former state monopoly, is subject to some of the toughest regulation in the world. Its upstart rivals, by comparison, are not nearly so heavily regulated. Unencumbered by bureaucracy and not saddled with the bloated ranks of middle management which BT suffers from, the new telecom firms such as Colt or Energis have stolen a march on the sleeping giant. In addition, the consolidation of the UK cable industry now means BT is for the first time facing credible challenges from the likes of NTL and Telewest.
For these reasons it is clear why BT is desperate to hang on to Bonfield, whose understanding of its domestic market is considered second to none. The aim now will be on increasing margins at its network operations by cutting costs and signing up more customers. This might not sound sexy but at least it is a business BT, and Bonfield, know how to run.
Whether Bonfield will be happy playing with a considerably smaller trainset is debatable. A clue lies in the small print on page 99 of the prospectus BT issued last week. Note a) reads: 'Sir Peter Bonfield entered into a new contract on 4 May 2001, which continues to 31 December 2002, terminable on six months' notice.' Under the old contract Bonfield had to give 12 months' notice. Interestingly, it was Bonfield, not the BT board, who asked for the six months clause to be inserted.
Sorry Sid, wrong numbers
Small investors look set to give BT's £6 billion refinancing package a lukewarm reception, writes Maria Scott .
Leading firms of private-client stockbrokers are unenthusiastic about the rights issues, advising small investors not to put up money to buy new shares. If this advice is followed, there will be a poor response.
Jeremy Batstone of NatWest Stockbrokers said: 'It is like standing over a manhole and throwing money into it.' He said small investors should be 'mightily miffed' at BT's decision to pass the final dividend for last year and the interim for this year. 'There is not even a short-term return on your investment.'
Batstone suggests investors sell enough of their rights in the market, through a process known as tail-swallowing, to buy the balance. This would involve stockbroking charges. But he believes many of BT's 1.8 million small investors, faced with the rights issue paperwork, won't subscribe for new shares at all.
Barclays Stockbrokers has not made a decision yet, but investment manager David Harbage is also cool about the idea of putting up new money. 'For an active trader there are probably better opportunities elsewhere.'
Small investors who are long-term holders should think carefully about adding to their BT holding if this is a substantial part of their investment portfolio. 'The short-term outlook for the telecommunications industry is difficult. The stock is still expensive.'
There is some support for the issue, however. Charlotte Black of stockbroker Brewin Dolphin, said the firm would advise investors to subscribe for their full entitlement: 'If you've been through all the pain, now is not the moment to give up.'
But she added that people holding BT for income would have to reconsider, as the company was not paying a dividend this year. She predicted that investors would have difficulty using the tail-swallowing option unless they had an existing relationship with a stockbroker.
BT's small shareholders can expect to get documents outlining the rights issue this week. There will be a question-and-answer guide to explain the mechanics and options. A helpline number will be released tomorrow.
Investors will be invited to buy three new shares at 300p for every 10 they already own. They will have until 15 June to subscribe. If they do nothing, their subscription rights will be sold by the company for them.

The multiplayer aspect will involve an online town that people can go to and show off their characters and trade items.
Will there be a beta test somewhere down the line?
If a PC version is to be released there is a good chance that there will be a beta test.
Approximately how much of the game has been completed?
10 %
Any plans to release FoA on any other platform besides the XBox?
We would like to release FoA on as many platforms as possible. It will depend on what our publisher wants.
Now for the million dollar question - When is FoA expected to go gold?
We would like to sign FoA as soon as possible and have varying schedules planned depending on what platforms we end up developing on. It could be anywhere from 12 to 24 months from when we are signed.
