Hi all, I have a few questions concerning QTRA. (This is not intended to be a which system is best thread!) I'm curious: 1. How many people use QTRA? 2. If you are trained in QTRA do you use it by default on safety surveys, or only when it is requested? 3. How does it fare/work when used with handheld data capture software, in particular the Pear Technology software? I notice it has a drop down box for a QTRA score, how does this work once imported into the Treeminder 'report maker'? Thanks in advance, Kevin

Indeed, I'm guessing you will be having some involvement. What areas will you be covering?
-
Thanks for the heads up David, email sent

Hybrid black of some sort would be my guess. I find pinning down a species on a lot of pops can be a right pita...

Eh?! Is that real? :eek:

Thank you very much I'm happy that you (and your boss) are happy. Cheque arrived today too, so I'm a double happy bunny!

I've had this same problem on the same model machine around the same age. It was an old employers, and it turned out it needed new springs to hold the cut out bar from bouncing against the switch. Just one possibility of many I'm sure. ...

You wouldn't find it my saw! Mostly because I now use Aspen, but also because its mineral, you want high quality synthetic oil...

Wow that's pretty shocking. Is there not a chartered accountant governing body to complain to?
-
What are you on about?! Am I really that out of touch with the yoof of today? I can use smillies though

My thoughts too. I think I read somewhere that jars full of the bootlace rhizomorphs of Armillaria were used as a light source in the trenches during WW1. Not sure if my memory is correct however!

Just submitted at 2346, do I win anything?! That's two years in a row of last minute panic, time to use an accountant and avoid this headache for a third year running! :banghead:

Indeed. That particular company, for 5837 reports, is also rather more expensive than it first seems. After the nice cheap tree survey, the lpa then need an AIA, then a method statement and TreePP. All charged separately, soon adds up...

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

Hmmm, don't think that is oyster. Hard to see in the pics, but it does have gills. Right? Was it lots of individual fungi with their own stems and caps, or lots of branching stems from a central point? -

Dacrymycetes stillatus, common jelly fungus, here on my kids wendy house...

Oh dear. Brings back memories of 1 guy 1 cup, as seen in class on my tech cert, courtesy of one man with a twisted sense of humour! I cringe just thinking about it :eek:

Can penalties from HMRC be counted as a loss in your profit/loss accounts? Just curious...

A Phoenix rises from the ashes of depression.
sloth replied to David Humphries's topic in Picture Forum
Six years on, any chance of seeing the state this tree is in now? And how about this phoenix growth in a childrens woodland play park... It's a nice area in that it seems to be managed in a 'risk aware' rather than averse fashion...
-
I mostly like it. I wonder if three names/titles are too many though? Also the tree strikes me as an olive, doesn't strike me as native eco... Just my thoughts, and you did ask! As a side note who did the artwork? I'm considering getting mine revamped
-
In my opinion, no. Not at all. How else are you to know what to do differently in future, or if it was a simply a case of Joe Bloggs is a tenner cheaper! Last year I used survey monkey to make up a really quick 'satisfaction survey', I sent it to everyone over the last 6 months I had worked for and not heard back from/lost the job. I think 80% replied, which surprised me, and the results were very helpful

I think Agg211 (Alec) was after pear and plum etc, maybe send him a message

Thanks Niall. You seem to have a good knowledge of this fungi, I presume others too. What's your background, if you don't mind me asking?
-
Lovely image, lovely fungi What sort of habitat was it found in?
-
Cheers spud, muff mod it is then. No sense buying new bits for it as it's hardly done anything. Better off selling it and getting something else if starts to really bother me. Any idea on second hand value? I think its a 2007 model, ms290. Still on original 18" bar, paint not even all worn off and only on its 3rd or 4th chain.
