The Z Hotel Glasgow
36 North Frederick Street, Glasgow, G1 2BS
0.1 km from
I have previously stayed at Residence 6 in Leeds and was very impressed. Whilst Fraser Suites was ok - it certainly wasnt what I expected. Decor was tired, the carpets were grubby, the furniture was scratched and looked tatty. The bathroom was very tired (mouldy grouting in places). Didnt live up to my expectations and probably wouldnt book to go there again. First impressions were good, on further inspection you noticed the above. Not really a 4*, maybe at one time it was? see above.
great value for money. spacious ( much more than a hotel room) the only slight issue was the smell of curry in the corridor.
Location for shopping and eating out at night. The room was very comfortable and well equipped. En-suite bathroom required some improvements.
The rooms are fabulous. A very comfortable stay. Easy walk into town, the shops & restaurants. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Location was supurb. The receptionist was friendly. Facilities in the room were adequate The bed could be beter
The checkin process was easy and location is excellent. The rooms are big and having separate kitchen/living area is a nice alternative to a hotel especially if staying for a few nights or more. The lifts are slow but that's about it
First class accommodation, convenient for central Glasgow, facilities, shooping, restaurants etc etc etc! Staff were great. Superb. Not one thing
Friendly staff, good facilities, great location. No complaints.
Freedom and space
Nice spacious and clean appartment, comfortable bed Traffic noise
The location was fantastic and value would be hard to beat Room was clean however in need of freshening up
Location in the Merchant City was what was wanted, and delivered
,Reception staff were very ,helpful and this is an excellent hotel. This is the second time I have used it I think that £16.75p is far too expensive for a full breakfast.
I enjoyed the caring way the staff cared for everyone, nothing was to much trouble for them. No complaints at all.
The location was superb, the staff friendly and the room comfortable. The shower was excellent- one of the most important things in a hotel! The room was perhaps a little bit dated, but having said that, very pleasant.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the club lounge for a quiet compliementary drink was great I did not find anything wrong with this hotel
Front staff was accommodating and very pleasent.
Comfy hotel in a central location. Not being able to get a taxi via reception. Was recomended by reception staff to go to taxi stand at queen st station where we waited 50mins for cab. Would rather have waited in the hotel. Have always been able to have a taxi pick up at any hotel we have stayed in before.
Very convenient and central. Very near station. Great value for money. Efficient and friendly service. A little noisy from station
Great central location. Helpful and friendly staff.
I stay at Millenniuem for it's central location, friendly staff and good atmosphere.
Very central Breakfast not too hot
I loved the whole experience. You couldn't find a more convenient location. It was a bit overpriced.
This hotel was rated 5 star on your web site but doesn't merit this rating, either for the facilities or for the dining room - 4 at a stretch. We are compparing it to the Balmoral in Edinburgh, also reserved through your site which is definitely a 5 star.
Well positioned for all facilities offered by Glasgow City We would have liked a lounge/bar facility the reception area being small meant having to always go to the bedroom.
All staff were extremelly pleasant and helpful. Great central location None- no problems at all
Central location Parking facilities
Very cute decor in clean, spaceous rooms. Well stocked free mini bar in each room. Also, the 7th floor lounge was a great feature with cozy chairs, free internet, computers, bar and snacks. Only a short one block walk from Queen St train station, easy even with our luggage.
The location and the size of the room were excellent for the money - I will stay here again and recommendto others.
Clean, well organised. Rooms are pretty quiet overall. Somewhat quirky free alcohol available in rooms!
The room was very nice No car parking, the nearest car park was a 5 minute uphill walk. The breakfast was very poor. I had to ask the same girl, who didn't understand english very well for coffee 3 times. I stayed for 3 nights and had to get the room keycard re-activated each day. It was the first and last time I will stay at this hotel
Friendliness of staff Noise from extractor fans outside building.
Room was great & reception staff very helpful.
The temperature in the room was quite high and we couldnt get it low enough.
The staff were friendly. The locagtion was great and the facilities were first class. Room and breakfast were just right. No complaints at all.
Fast, efficient automated check-in and check-out but with friendly staff support. Clean, quiet, well-sized, pleasant room with comfortable bed all essential services and excellent bathroom, hot water etc. Breakfast was fine, freshly cooked and with a wide selection if a little fast-food in feel. No bad points.
A quiet room (top corner of the building); also carpeted corridors and quiet corridor doors. Comfortable, clean bed. Comfortable temperatures, and a thermostat that's easy to understand, with sensible settings. Curtains that keep the room dark at night. Clean bathroom in which everything works. Good breakfast a kettle etc a tv that doesn't dominate the room. Not a bad point really - but some sort of decaff drink by the kettle would be nice, eg a herb tea / decaff coffee.
I have stayed in serveral Premier Inns and they never disappoiont. The one in George Street is very convenient for the city centre as it is just off George Square.
None You could call it jumping on the bandwagon due to concerts being held at Hampden,Overpriced, poor quality of service and food
Very godd location and a modern building with easy access. Disabled room was a little tired looking and the bathroom door was difficult.due to wear.
The room was very clean & comfortable. It was also quiet. Nothing!
The food was excellent! The location was perfect, we could walk to everything we needed. The rooms were spacious, and the staff was very courteous and helpful. Cannot think of any negative I.
The bed was comfortable, the location was great and the hotel was quiet. I also liked the self check in facilities, although it did mean that I did not talk to any hotel staff the whole time I was staying at the hotel, so can not really comment on the level of service and staff. The breakfast was expensive so we went elsewhere.
Staff very friendly and nice, easy going hotel, A bad smell in the bathroom like urine
Cleanliness of the room Noise in the middle of the night - guests running and shouting in corridor and noise of traffic, bin men early morning
The space of the apartment and its location which was quiet and centrally located
Everything. What a great place to stay. Great location. The apartment was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The guy on reception was really friendly and nice. I would definitely recommend these aparments to anyone and will definitely stay here again if I return to Glasgow
Nice apartment with plenty of space and well equipped
The location is very good and the facilities are great. I found the staff to be quite awkward, they cancelled my booking days before I was due to stay (with a party of 16), luckily, after many emails and phonecalls, this was resolved, but we still lost out on the deluxe apartment that we had booked 5 weeks previous. I was also charged £50 more than quoted, which I am currently trying to resolve with the staff at the Spires.
The location is superb right in the city center next to George Square and one block away from main shopping area. Facility has modern design and in new condition. - Noisy at night (especially during weekends) as the windows are right on busy street. Rooms are small compared to bed size. Mattresses are not comfortable especially the Sofa Bed. No staff at night until 8am. We had the fire alarm ringing for 1 hour from 7-8am with no hotel staff to give the alarm panel key to the Fireman. Front staff can use more smiles.
comfort, cleanliness, spacious little too pricey
Good location, ease of parking and discounted rates. It was nice to have the flexibility of an apartment. The rooms were quite smelly and were not ready for us at check-in.
Reasonably comfortable, light and spacious apartment. Conveniently situated in city centre with parking nearby. Well appointed bathrooms and on-suites and well equipped kitchen Relates to stay on Sunday Aug 8 2010. No staff on reception on Sundays. Standard of cleanliness extremely poor. All kitchen/bathroom/table surfaces very smeared. Floors not swept properly It appeared that the apartment had been used for a party the previous night - looked like a bottle of beer/champagne had been deliberately shaken over kitchen ceiling leaving large stain with no attempt at cleaning.
Excellent location.Very clean and comfortable.Kitchen was very well equipped. we were given the wrong address for these apartments, booking confirmation gave address as Bothwell Street but the apartments had changed address but the hotel did send taxis to collect us. Not sure who responsible for advising this but in the end other than wasting a bit of time all was sorted.
They are nice comfortable apartments in a good location As the location was new they were a few teething problems that were not too bad i.e. telly did not work, no hi-fi sytem
Location was great, five minutes from Central Station and very close to everything else The hotel advertises a carpark, and when i checked in I got really vague directions to find it (apparently it's round the back somewhere) - I couldn't find it and had to park elsewhere, which cost a small fortune!
Breakfast excellent. We were close to the 12 o'clock limit but staff showed no annoyance and .were so helpful, even putting out freshly cooked bacon etc at that time. Twin room a bit small but still value for money.
it was very central for the shops etc and bars
Location Quite noisy
the room was very hot and stuffy, could not open windows to allow fresh air in
Clean, modern, central, efficient, well-priced
Glasgow city just around the corner---the Cathedral. Hotel staff very helpful.
Modern The room we were in was a little small
great hotel.
The refund we got due to the complaints we made. If anything? I didn't like anything about it.
The staff of the hotel is exceptionally warm and welcoming. The Brunswick has something special going for it. For those who have troubles sleeping, some of the rooms have thin walls and noices from the adjacent bar (mind you, it is a good bar!) may reach lower levels rooms. This did not disturb me, however, and while the rooms are small the bed itself is far comfier and crisper than in similarly priced hotels. Over all, a pleasant and groovy stay.
Friendly welcome and helpful staff, good location for city centre, main station and, by train, to Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre
The friendly staff & relaxed atmosphere n/a
Great location, friendly staff. Room too warm
The location of the hotel is just perfect !! People at the reception are very friendly there ! We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay there again.
Good location Small rooms, shower not particularly clean and drain not functioning properly. Corridors small and dank. Windows need additional glazing.
Broken toilet seat.
Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff, free wifi connection. The compact room is really compact, but it's clearly stated in the reservation form and it's smartly engineered: everything has its own (compact) space. Excellent value for money. Basin is really undersized. The moquette floor needs to be refurbished, the iron too. Generally these are just details, but dealing with a compact room they could easily turn a design room into a sad room.
Have stayed many times,reasons....staff always extremely friendly and relaxed.excellent location for shopping,theatre,cinema or catching up with family at a very reasonable price.Have recommended to those whom I feel would enjoy the experience! Music from club.In fairness it doesn't go on till early hours and it is our chioce to stay knowing this.
Central location, clean, warm Quite basic, no remote for tv, room quite small, noise from other guests
The room was clean and tidy with the hotel central to all ammenities we required. very satisfied
City centre location The Saturday night noise from the clubbers under my window !!
staff were all very friendly & helpful
The location of the hotel was spot on for our needs
Staff cheerful and helpful - we recognised some from a visit several years ago which must be a good sign. Just what it says on the tin - cheap and cheerful and ideal for a city visit when all you need is a clean bed and a good breakfast. Sorry not to have been there at the right time to feature in Taggart!
Warm on cold nights Some noise from street outside, no lift and my room was on 4th floor
Price. Location. Staff Nothing.
Our room was located in the basement beside the breakfastrom. We missed the daylight.
Spacious and great location and central for rail and bus links,good comfortable accomadation and great breakfast.staff very friendly and helpful. Should have made been aware of noisey nightclub [are there rooms not facing this club]?,top floor a bit of a hike if elderly or infirmed.
Beds and the staff were very good Breakfast was pretty por/
The Chef! very poor standard of cleanliness in the rooms!
I would never stay at this hotel again.It is need of a major refurb.The bed was certainly not a single bed, no handles on the wardrobe, coffee and tea facilities very limited The staff at check in were very polite

Newbie- Please advise with concerns
Greetings to all M5 enthusiast!! :)
I am (like all of you) a HUGE M fan. I have an opportunity to pick up a '02 M5 that is in exceptional condition (so I'm told). The car has 98,000 on the clock and dealer states it has a new clutch & "DINAN Software". The asking price is $15,900 and it is not from a BMW dealership. Coming from a Honda/Acura background I have always treasured the "reliability" of the VTEC engine, and will be the first to say that the M5 has always been a dream and is simply in a class all by itself- HANDS DOWN.
My concerns are of course the dreaded stories of the "problems" that arise after 100k, and the amount of money I am expecting to spend maintaining the monster (from scheduled maintenance to unexpected and "issues" the car is known to have. Any thoughts, advice that you all can give will be greatly appreciated. I have included the link that shows the car- thanks again for sharing your knowledge :thumbup:
Well, 65 views and no response- perhaps some of you guys really have no idea what your doing after all- you just buy a car because it has an "M" next to it, I was expecting to have a few responses or advice - thanks guys.
When buying any car, but especially a BMW, just take it to a BMW dealer or independent and have them do a prepurchase inspection. (i'd rather go to a reputable BMW independent) - they'll give you an idea of what work it needs, and what condition it's in.
I'd never buy a used M car without one.
Ask your questions over at M5board.com. You'll get a better response there.

It is too short and I can't reach the brake lever screw. Just checking to see if anybody has run into this issue. I think I maybe able to solve it by adding a spacer to it but if you have any tips please let me know.

Thoe who want immediate withdrawal from Iraq are arrogant and self-serving4 Comments Published by jonz on Monday, September 10, 2007 at 11:41 AM.
More than half of Iraqis STILL want coalition forces to stay until security is improved
So all those twats asking for an "immediate withdrawal", would be going against the wishes of the Iraqi people. But these people have consistently opposed the wishes of the Iraqi people from the outset.
A poll was conducted in 2005, one of the questions was "Do you think the decision to remove Saddam was correct?". Guess which, of all the countries in the world, had the highest number of Yes's? The Iraqis, with 74% saying yes. Yet millions of non-Iraqis opposed the removal of Saddam, claiming some sort of delusional moral high ground.
Those people asking for an immediate withdrawal of coalition forces from Iraq are contemptible, and both morally and intellectually bankrupt.
4 Responses to "Thoe who want immediate withdrawal from Iraq are arrogant and self-serving"
I'm not sure youre asking the right question.
Can or can't win should have been asked before the start, and the answer to that makes no difference now, since its been done, and there is no going back.
Should or shouldnt is the new problem, and how can the answer be anything other than should?
How do we leave a country under worse conditions than what they started with? not just Iraq really but the whole area of the world.
it may have been a mistake, and I will be the first to say Im sorry, but how does that fix it? when will people start getting over the inital event, blaming and being angry at the united states and start standing up for an end that benifts the future in a postive way. Why is no one angry at the insuragnts? How come the worlds solution is to back out and leave the US standing alone?
The world is soooo politicaly driven it pisses me off! It's like everyone wants it to go wrong just so they can say I told you so
Regardless of politics this is a military operation and the first question any commander asks himself is "can the objective be realistically realised?". If the answer to that question is no then he is throwing away the lives of his men, which if he does this knowingly is a court-marshallable offence. At this juncture it seems that this war cannot be won, regardless of the morals, hence the military strategy should be withdrawal.
I find it difficult to say who's "winning" as such. Who knows, in 30 years Iraq may be a stable and fully fledged democracy. Will the US have won then?
Of course we need to withdraw Wolfie, but we absolutley cannot just suddenly cut & run. It would be against the wishes of both the Iraqi government and the Iraqi people.
We will loose more men, this is true, but this is war. We can't have a kneejerk withdrawal. We should leave at the behest of the Iraqis. We owe them that.

my dad is the same way, ill bring something over to him and say we have to get this to fit here and fix that, adjust that, drill that, rotate this and weld this on here for it to work right, is that possible ?
"yea, we can see what we can do"
45 min later he comes up out of the basement with a bunch of hand sawn, hand filed parts along with a piece he made on the lathe and the lil bracket he made to hold them in the right positions when i weld them, lol
anyone who likes to hear themselves talk is all talk (obvious, i know)
and im slowly turning into my father. im building turbo kits for friends and all i ever say is "yea, buy the parts and ill weld some mounts up and fab some tubing and whatever"
if found its better to keep your mouth shut and have the project turn out good, instead of running your mouth and then looking like a fool when stuff doesnt work out
The funny thing is it apply to all jobs. After so many years its hard not to laugh when you interview people and they try so hard to act like they know what there doing, but makes great story telling. I worked at this one place and it was my first shop manager job and they would hire any Tom Dick and Harry to work. So after a short time of guy quiting and then fking stuff up I talk them in to letting me test possible employee. So a basic tool test and a couple thing that were made up tools. After that a practice test to see if they could do any of the thing they said they could but with a twist or to. Like setting up a welder with a couple metal plates and turn off the gas or change the setting or a torch with two oxygen bottle. or a stick welder with the lead switched or put out cutting glass in place of a welding helmet or have them set up some thing to paint and see if they could tell if it was ready to paint. I tellya I went through a lot of people and the best part was watching them fumble a round start sweating and some were brave enough to ask for help when know one was looking. I must say that took guts I wish I could have tape them. I guess I was laughing to much to think about that.
The book deal is a great Idea. I hope I make it to heaven.
Kinda got the Idea from a crazy shop teacher in high school always made you think after a while! In my electronic class he use to watch us build A project and get the cr-p shock out of us when we mess up and just laugh his *** off. Or the time he decide to have us all stand in a circle and run a low current through us with music going through us as well and crank it up and of course you can't let go and at first it scare the heck out of you. But he of course was just cracking up. I think he just enjoyed are incompetence. Found out later that the guy was a retired electrical engineer from NASA or JPL.
Must be where I got my funny from.
The truth about paintwork is anyone with enough interest, basic skills, and common sense can do this work. The ones that continuously push for better quality and continue to learn will always put out better work IMO. I've worked with the talkers and the walk the walkers. Some painters never try for perfection-why?- lack of interest.
I have several projects in my shop right now and almost all were started by someone else and brought here to redo or finish. I really don't like working on cars that have been started. You have no idea whats under all that mess until you get into it. In every case the owner found a cheaper price and is now paying for it. I priced one paint job for $5,000.00 and the guy found someone to do it for half that. Then he brought it here for a $8,000.00 strip and repaint.
i have had to deal with that for the last 10 years. seems like 4 out of 5 have been somewhere else for several years and now i'm suppose to finish it. i found a way to deal with it. if i work on it we blast first before i agree to do the job. if they want me to save the bodywork or cut corners i send them away. they created the mess trying to get a deal. i really don't like working with someone that thinks it can be done for 3k. if they think your too high they will never be satisfied. i'd rather pass. too old for that and i don't need the practice. i'm the one who sets the price and does the job. i'm not interested in what someones nephew can do it for in his garage. take it to him.
I run into that all the time Shine,, we just finished a 65 chevelle prostreet that the owner had the body work done by a want-a-be, and finally figured out that he was soaking him on the price,, so he brought it to us,, we had to completely redo ALL his work,, the body lines were terrable, had to fab new wheel tubs that he had glued in with caulking, didn't even come close to touching the back side of the Quarter panel,, there was 1 1/2 "s of bondo in the quarter panels, and huge rust holes filled up with paper towels and bondo.. and he had already paid this guy 6K$,, and was a bit upset when I told him it would cost him another 4$ to redo everything, so he was out 10K$ for the same work,, then he wants me to cut him a deal,, I told him the deal needed to be between him and the guy that screwed him in the first place,,
on my web page theres a 37 ford pu. belongs to a dairy farmer named eddy pack. it was in a shop for 8 years before i got it. worst hack job i'd seen in a while. people still go to him because he's cheaper. go figure.
The thing that blows me away the most is when a big name will get work, even when he does a bad job. I have seen a my share of "legends" shoddy work. I have a good friend that is (or should I say, WAS, because he has became sensive to the chemicals and hasn't painted in ten years because of it) and one time he was "touching up" a 50 Merc full custom that a VERY well known custom painter in the area did. This custom painter is on the "Hall of Fame" of both the Oakland Roadster show and I believe Darrell Starbirds Museum as well. The paint looked pretty nice (candy) but under the wheel wells, rockers, and the like it was not only "thin", it was bare plastic filler and metal! BARE metal and filler, not even primed. So my buddy did a masterful job of repairing this mess. I asked him nievely (sp?) why would anyone go to this guy when they could come to you and get a better job for less money? He said, "Because they couldn't put on their show sign that he painted it"
There was two studies done over the last few years on automotive painters.
A good painter is your worst employees and a general pain in the A++.
(I simplified their statement)
A good painter is an artist and that is why they are so hard manage.
There is a lot of truth to this and some of the funniest things you will hear is how shops interview the painter.
One shop close by has on the application list all paint guns and tips and what each gun is used for.
(Everyone better be a Sata and he better have at least two for each type of application)
He says if you only have three or four he will give you a chance to buy more after hired.
One shop says if the painter is out of town and no buddy knows him he calls all the bodymen and painters to the office and introduces them to the painter.
He says, he will hire the one that won't stand up to shake hands but if they all do, he hires the one with the least personality.
That way he knows hes got a good one.
One Restoration shop says the most important question I ask is "if you paint an allover how many runs will you have"?
"If the guy say none, he needs to be painting at a dealership matching factory orange peel"
Actually, that is not the guy, this guy as far as I know does mostly paint. At least that is what he is famous for.
But your guy sounds just as bad, it makes you want to cry. My brother got all freaked out when he was showing his car how these guys got the attention. Even American Rodder saif of his car "This well detailed little Buick deserved a better spot and the ticket buyer deserved a better looked at it".
But I wasn't mad, as I told my brother, those guys have been working their azzes of for YEARS putting cars in this show. They have made the promotor a lot of money, they have lost families, jobs, they are like the musicians who eat bolona on hand sandwiches (Metallica) for years, these builders have done that.
But you would think they would have learned something about detail by now.
When this painter was inducted into the hall of fame he had about ten cars in the main arena, the latest being the focal point. From behind the ropes I couldn't believe the texture under the clear! The dirt, poor taping of graphics, it was a mess.

Ballet News | Strictly Come Dancing – Professional dancers – the women
The Strictly professional ladies were interviewed before they knew who their partners would be, so it's interesting to see whether their wishes have been granted as the season begins at the end of this month. Or was it a case of "be careful what you wish for ?"
Aliona Vilani
Aliona began ballroom dancing in Russia at the age of 11 and as an all round contender she specialises in Ten Dance (Ballroom and Latin) as well as Salsa, Hip-Hop and Jazz. In 2001, Aliona was selected by the National Dance Congress to compete against the World teams for the USA and in 2008 became part of Dancing with the Stars tour. Aliona is looking forward to the new series, promising that if her partner "gives me his best efforts I promise to do my best to make the dancing fun, exciting and great!"
Aliona is partnered with Harry Judd.
Erin Boag
Kiwi Erin is a strong competitor and specialises in ballroom, alongside her professional parter and fellow Strictly dancer Anton du Beke. Having danced together since 1997, turning professional in 2002, the pair have graced the series from the very beginning. Erin's experience on Strictly is extremely valuable to her, "I've had my fair share of sportsmen and this year I'm hoping for someone completely the opposite!"
Erin is partnered with Rory Bremner.
Flavia Cacace
Ten Dance and Argentine Tango specialist Flavia was born in southern Italy and has been dancing with her current professional partner and Strictly dancer Vincent Simone for the past 14 years. Flavia loves the show element of Strictly and after her second place in series 5, is excited at the prospect of this year "I hope to have a partner who is enthusiastic and willing to win."

Microsoft Corp. has forged a deal with Akamai Technologies Inc. in an attempt to rectify some of the problems which caused extensive outages across Microsoft's Web properties last week, according to the software vendor.
Microsoft recruited Akamai last week to provide secondary, back-up DNS (domain name service) servers after the software giant incurred widespread criticism for having a very localized DNS system at its headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
"One of the big criticisms we heard and saw is that there is this single network doing DNS," Adam Sohn, a spokesman with Microsoft, said in an interview Monday. "It has served traffic successfully for years, but perhaps this was a choke point."
Microsoft enlisted Akamai's help last week and now has two networks which can handle the company's DNS traffic. The primary servers remain under Microsoft's control, while Akamai will host the secondary set of servers.
"We learned a bunch of hard lessons last week," Sohn said. "In response to that we are going to take a real hard look at the architecture of our networks and the processes which support them. We are not afraid to change and be self-critical."
DNS servers translate Web addresses into numeric codes processed by computers. Microsoft blamed one of its own technicians for making changes to the company's DNS networks which caused outages last Tuesday and Wednesday. Users around the globe temporarily lost access to some of the software giant's most visited Web destinations, including the Hotmail e-mail service, Expedia travel site and Microsoft's corporate site. [See "Microsoft owns up to DNS snafu," Jan. 25.] Outages last Thursday and Friday were due to hacker denial-of-service attacks.
Microsoft will now dedicate some of its staff to assessing technology policies across the board. A group of technicians will examine the structure of corporate networks and other technologies, according to Sohn.
Microsoft would not release details on financial losses incurred during the outages.
Microsoft, in Redmond, Washington, can be reached at +1-425-882-8080 or via the Internet at http://www.microsoft.com/. Akamai, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, can be reached at +1-617-250-3000 or at http://www.akamai.com/.

Di Canio backing West Ham for Old Trafford surprise
Filed: Thursday, 10th January 2013
By: Staff Writer
Former Hammer Paolo Di Canio hopes that West Ham can defy the odds and win their FA Cup replay against Manchester United - just as Harry Redknapp's underdogs did 12 years ago.
12 years ago this month, Di Canio struck in the 76th minute to score the only goal of a tightly-fought fourth round contest in front of 10,000 delirious Hammers fans.
And the Italian forward, now exceeding all expectations as manager of Swindon hopes that history can repeat itself when the current West Ham side attempt to emulate that famous victory.
"I would love to see West Ham get a result at Manchester United in their FA Cup replay on Wednesday because it would be great to see their fans celebrating at Old Trafford again," he told the BBC i nhis weekly column.
"The game will bring back very good memories for me because I scored the winning goal there when Manchester United goalkeeper Fabien Barthez stood with his hand in the air, claiming I was offside.
"He tried to stop me and confuse me by putting his hand up like directors do in theatre when actors are auditioning, but my view in life is always to act first, then discuss the consequences.
"I brought this into my football career, so my only thought at the time was to put the ball in the net and then check what the linesman was doing."
And key to West Ham's chances, says Di Canio, is former team mate Joe Cole who is the only player from Sam Allardyce's squad who was involved on that historic day.
"I am delighted to see he has gone back to West Ham," said Di Canio. "I played alongside Roberto Baggio and for me, Cole was as good as him at 16. He was an amazing talent and the fact he did very well at West Ham and moved to Chelsea proved that he was a very good player."

The science of "must-have" content
If only there were a scientific formula, technical algorithm, or medical prescription for the information market. Instead, there is a seemingly endless tension between content sellers and buyers in which the former invests in content creation and delivery in the hope that the latter will find it so desirable that they shove each other aside, wallets in hand, trying to get hold of it. Too often, in fact, content buyers are actually having to take a surgical approach so that budget cuts don't puncture any vital information organs.
Despite the challenges faced by both content buyers and sellers today, a couple of recent FreePint Research projects clearly demonstrate there remain some areas of must-have content for which there is not only a strong market, but also unexpected buyers.
Take, for example, information on or about China. We are currently finalising data collection for our forthcoming FreePint Research Report: Information From and About China (click here to participate in our survey on Information From and About China), and the preliminary results reveal how strong demand is for this information. Of all who have responded to date, only one person said that they are spending less on China-related information than they were a year ago. The quality of information is of grave concern, however: while about half of the respondents to date report that it is getting easier to find free information about China, about 80% lack trust in the validity of that free information.
Our new FreePint Research Report: STM Buying Patterns reinforces the notion that there are areas in which specialised content from reputable sources is a "must have", and science, technical and medical (STM) content falls into that category. If you need a particular journal or specific clinical trial, there is no substitute. According to the report, "specialist content critical to business needs is most likely to have survived the cost cutting measures of the past two years".
Certainly, from a content seller's perspective, it is good to know there are what FreePint's Director of Research calls "recession proof" areas of content. However what this STM report also revealed was that the appeal of specialised content is not just limited to the usual suspects. Where one might assume that information about China will appeal to a broad swathe of information consumers -- something our research bore out as buyers include everyone from information and knowledge managers to those in sales, product development and strategy roles -- one might suppose that STM content would have a much more limited appeal in terms of end users.
Not so. The report notes STM content being used beyond traditionally STM-related industries, in such areas as consulting, government and law. Unexpected users may be mining patent filings for competitive or economic intelligence, or using process documentation to identify opportunities for growth in the source chain.
It is good news that there remains a market for specialised content and that it is finding its way into the hands of more users. This bodes well for content sellers who understand and meet the needs of this market. For buyers, it is good to see the information that they so painstakingly select finds increased usage and value in their organisations. So while we may not yet have perfected the formula for content success, our research shows that must-have content remains a healthy investment.
Best regards,
Michelle Manafy,
Director of Content

I could spend a good deal of time at websites that deal with the English language. I have always loved words and phrases and marvelled at the complexity and nuances of meanings and semantics. Alas, I have a day job. However I have some favourites worth sharing. Some of these sites are about words only and some listed here have more to do with phrases and the more humorous (intended or unintended) aspects of the English language. I will begin with the sublime and move towards the more light hearted (never would they seem to me to be ridiculous).

Reinventing Librarians: Part 1
By Marlene Gebauer
FUMSI: Manage
The relocation of law collections to the relevant departments provides the perfect opportunity for librarians and research specialists to embed themselves within practice groups or departments. Marlene Gebauer shows the resultant perception that the librarian is part of that practice area greatly enhances information exchange, and describes how to go about making this change in your organisation.
WHAT'S INSIDE: 'Historically, legal research librarians have worked as an independent group, often separated physically from the rest of the firm, but collections are now being downsized and what remains is being housed near the relevant departments. So you can consider seating or "embedding" a research expert within a practice group or department. Having a specialist researcher in the same physical space enhances the perception that they are part of that practice group or department team, closer relationships can be forged and more information readily exchanged. Also, the concept of an embedded research specialist takes advantage of the developing project overlap between departments.'

Ebooks and libraries - a missed opportunity to evolve?
By Matthew Solle
FUMSI: Share
Over the years, public libraries have successfully redefined themselves when new publishing media have arrived but Matthew Solle questions whether their approach to lending eBooks will jeopardise their future, and considers how further and higher education are tackling this issue.
WHAT'S INSIDE: 'The rise of eReading devices, typified by the huge sales of Amazon's Kindle platform in 2011, indicates a shift away from books being physical items to virtual ones. It means that, firstly, libraries may not be supplying reading material in the format that potential users prefer and, secondly, the wide range of out of copyright material provides a wealth of reading that means you might never step in a library again. Some public library services have started eLending services but with some odd restrictions, while the JISC eBooks project is supporting the acquisition of digital content for education and research in the UK.'

In addition to providing in-depth reviews of information products, VIP Magazine features VIP Insider, which offers an inside look at current FreePint Research projects.
The most recent issue of VIP (No. 92) features the following in VIP Insider:
Over the past two months, I've had the opportunity to meet with and present to a number of gatherings of information managers. The SLA annual conference in Philadelphia brought hundreds of them walking by the FreePint tabletop. A few days later, I had the pleasure of presenting research to Springer's Library Advisory Board meeting for corporate librarians. A few weeks previously, I'd been in Europe, presenting content buying trend information to a private company's internal research team. I've also had countless phone calls with customers, contacts and members of VIP's editorial board about their emerging needs and interests.
In each of these interactions, I've made sure to ask one question consistently:
"What projects are you currently working on to build the value of information acquisition and usage in your organisation?"
To my surprise, the responses have been pretty consistent as well:
Enterprise deployment of mobile content.
How is it that 2011 has become the Year of Mobile Experimentation in the Enterprise? I began asking this question because I wanted to hear about a range of projects. Yet nearly every information manager and content buyer I spoke with is now planning or working on pilot projects, proof-of-concept or beta testing of approaches to putting more premium content into the hands of end users, no matter what kind of device they happen to prefer to use.
This is an enormous change from the state of the industry just 12 months ago: in July 2010, I began a two-phase research project that was eventually published as the FreePint Research Report: Enterprise Market for Mobile Content. Through a series of in-depth interviews with senior level information managers, this project investigated corporate appetite for moving from desktop-based content deployment to mobile readiness. At the time, the 27 information managers I spoke with expressed scepticism that action towards mobile deployment would happen quickly, for a number of reasons:

Window Device Turns Noise Pollution Into More Pleasant Sounds [Video]
Sono is an advance noise-canceling gadget that lets people be selective about the outdoor noise they hear.
There are already special glazed windows that can reduce the amount of outside noise. However, they also eliminate the more pleasant environmental sounds such as chirping birds, waves, and rustling leaves. What if you could choose to let in specific sounds while keeping out the annoying car alarms, construction sites, and traffic?
Industrial designer Rudolf Stefanich from Austria asked himself the same question and came up with the concept of Sono. The high-tech device sticks to any window and allows users to manually adjust the outdoor volume and select which noise to eliminate and which sounds to let in.
Stefanich explains that, "In our loud and busy world a moment of silence has become a scarce and almost luxurious experience. Sono lets you reclaim that silence for your home." The device utilizes concentric broadband antenna rings can be recharged through Wi-Fi signals or the conventional plug-in method.
Sono is a finalist in the prestigious James Dyson Award. Watch the video below for a product demonstration of the concept.

By David Woods, The Indianapolis Star
Two of college basketball's giant-killers of the 2000s, Butler and Gonzaga, have agreed to a home-and-home series for the next two seasons.
Butler is to travel to Spokane, Wash., to meet the Zags on Dec. 20. The Bulldogs are to play at Stanford two or three days later. Gonzaga is to visit Hinkle Fieldhouse in December 2012.
"It's an exciting series, and it's going to benefit both teams and help them prepare," Butler associate head coach Matthew Graves said today.
Brad Stevens of Butler and Mark Few of Gonzaga are coaching colleagues who conferred with each other when both had struggling teams last season.
Butler has played in five consecutive NCAA Tournaments and is coming off back-to-back appearances in the national championship game. Gonzaga has played in the past 13 NCAA tourneys.
In the teams' only previous meeting, Butler defeated Gonzaga 79-71 in the NIT Season Tipoff on Nov. 24, 2006.
Graves said Butler is attempting to get Temple to visit Hinkle Fieldhouse in the 2012-13 season. The Bulldogs' other non-league home games would be against Evansville, Ball State, Gonzaga and probably a non-Division I opponent.

by Michael Pearl from No Greater Joy - It's The Book's Fault!Editor's note: Found this strange gem a few weeks ago on the Pearl's site. It starts with a letter from parents (real or Pearl-written no one knows) blaming Michael's child training via spanking manual 'To Train Up A Child' for the new misbehavior in their children. Believe this is likely a fake letter cobbled together to allow Mr. Pearl to pontificate on why his child discipline ideas are the best thing ever in his mind. Surely this has to be fake? It reeks of fakery. Also it's so strange, the writer is accusing the book of making her not enjoy her children and stressing her out? Time in Quiverfull-land can make you crazy if … [Read more...]

When Tamar was raped by her half brother, the Bible says she was left weeping and desolate. The story strikes a deep chord with many because Tamar's story is their story. John Coblentz, an experienced counselor, explains why sexual abuse can be so devastating. The reader is led to healing and hope with clear, honest, and practical advice. A book for pastors, counselors, and, especially, for those who have known the anguish of Tamar.

Rock Tumbling is a fun project that the entire family will enjoy. It will take some patience, but it is a fun way to use special rocks you collect. The end result will be a beautiful selection of rocks that you can think of lots of uses for. A few ideas: add interest to the dirt in your houseplants, add to a vase for use with flowers, put in a shallow bowl in a display area such as a bathroom.
How to tumble rocks:
With a tumbler, you will start out with a coarse grade of abrasives, tumble for about 10 days, check progress and then change the abrasive to finer and finer grit until the surface becomes smooth. Rock tumbling projects should always be supervised by an adult. Generally, you simply add water and an amount of silicon carbide grit as an abrasive to smooth and shape the stones. In the initial tumbling phase, you may also add small chips of rocks to aid in the smoothing process. The abrasives used: coarse silicon carbide (60/90 grit), medium/fine silicon carbide (120/220 grit), polish material and reusable plastic pellets. The process takes about 4 weeks, unless you are starting with smooth stones, and then it may be slightly less.
How to Choose a Tumbler:
When you buy a Rock Tumbler, you will get what you pay for. A rock tumbler sold as a toy will be prone to breakage and the failure of rubber belts and components will end up being more expensive than you may anticipate. Also, a cheap plastic barrel will be noisy and will generally indicate an inferior quality of machine. The replacement of belts will be expensive enough that you may as well buy a better machine (you can even find used ones) than buy a cheap tumbler. Quality built tumblers are built with a sturdy metal base, a motor and a thick rubber barrel, to minimize the noise from the tumbling. Good tumblers are designed to give you a smooth polished finish on rocks, glass, and can be used on metal fragments. Some of the nice quality tumblers include Thumlers, Lortone, and Diamond Pacific although the latter is quite expensive. We have read that the tumblers made by Harbor Freight (Chicago) have belts that break easily.
Size of Tumbler:
You will be running your tumbler for weeks, so you want to size your batch to your tumbler. You will want to fill your tumbler between 2/3 and 3/4 full to get the best tumbling results. For home/hobby size with rocks about 1 to 1 1/2 inches, you can use a 4 1/2 to 6 lb tumbler. For stones about 1 inch maximum, a 3 lb tumbler will work fine.
Rotary vs Vibratory Tumblers:
The vibratory are less capable than a rotary tumbler, and they often require continuous addition of water (every hour). A well made rotary tumbler with a rubber barrel will be much quieter than a vibratory tumbler. The vibratory tumblers are used for material which is already formed, and is not useful for rough rocks.
How to Choose your stones:
Some will take a polish and some will NOT. Rock tumblers can only bring out the NATURAL beauty in the stones. Rocks and stones typically used in gravel and driveways do not tumble and polish well. As a check of your stones, clean then and wet them with water. If there is some color and some interesting texture, the stone will probably be a good tumbler. For best results, the stones should be somewhat similar: keep Rough Stones with rough, and smooth stones with smooth to achieve consistent results. Also, if you can determine the hardness of the stones, keep them compatible. Sandstone will not work at all with agate!
Buying stones:
There are several reputable sellers on eBay that sell stone lots for tumbling. We have a favorite seller listed on our website that has provided us with lovely, colorful stones. We have purchased 10 lbs which fits into a 8.95 postal box, which makes shipping cheaper than you may expect. Read seller feedback and a high feedback will probably provide you very nice stones.
