Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Kawartha-Chrysler Peterborough Lakers won the Mann Cup this year. This revered trophy is emblematic of national supremacy in one of our national sports, lacrosse. After a tough season, the Lakers took on the Victoria Shamrocks and won the final series in six games. I congratulate the team members on their achievement. They gave our community a lift after a summer of floods.
I also congratulate and thank all those who have worked to maintain lacrosse in Peterborough over many years. In particular I thank and congratulate Ted Higgins, the Lakers coaching staff, its board of directors and supporters.
Once again Peterborough leads Canada in lacrosse.
The Governor General
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Johanne Deschamps Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am rising in this House today to condemn the remarks made by the Governor General of Canada, Adrienne Clarkson.
The Governor General reacted with arrogance to the democratic vote taken in this House to reduce her budget.
Ms. Clarkson stated that the reduction of over $400,000 imposed on her by members of Parliament will result in the elimination of events such as the ceremonies for the Order of Canada, and will have an even greater impact on winter events organized especially for children.
These comments are unworthy of the office held by Ms. Clarkson. She should cut her expenditures relating to official trips and lavish banquets, rather than targeting children. Not all children have the chance to enjoy the luxury to which she is entitled. In fact, more than one million children in Canada are living below the poverty line.
On behalf of children and their families, the Bloc Québécois asks for an apology from the Governor General.
Club Richelieu in Dalhousie
Statements By Members

Jean-Claude D'Amours Madawaska—Restigouche, NB
Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize today the 50th anniversary of the Club Richelieu in Dalhousie, New Brunswick. Founded in 1954, this community organization actively contributes to local development through a variety of fundraisers.
Since its creation, the Club Richelieu in Dalhousie has had nearly 200 members, all truly dedicated. Furthermore, in 50 years, the club has given more than $600,000 to the community through contributions to sports teams, children in need, scout troops, student bursaries and so on.
The hard work of these volunteers helps make our communities proud, and that is why this organization deserves our recognition here today.

Mark Warawa Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has been misleading Canadians, saying that the traditional definition of marriage was unconstitutional. Now we know that the Liberals have been deliberately misleading Canadians. The Supreme Court did not fall for that Liberal trap and has sent the issue of marriage back to Parliament where it belonged. The Conservative Party was right all along.
I agree with the majority of Canadians on the definition of marriage being between a man and a woman. That definition is constitutional, yet the Prime Minister wants to outlaw that definition against the democratic wishes of the majority. He will be tabling his own legislation and has threatened his caucus to vote for it or else.
Will the Prime Minister stop dithering, come clean about his hidden agenda where religious freedoms will be lost, where marijuana will be made legal and supplied by his government, and where child pornography will be considered art? He is wrong. I challenge him to permit a free vote for all members on these important issues.
Rett Syndrome
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Lloyd St. Amand Brant, ON
Mr. Speaker, I wish to pay tribute to a very brave young lady and her parents. Olivia, a constituent of Brant, was diagnosed with Rett syndrome at an early age. Since then, her family has actively petitioned for increased medical funding and has also created a network of support for families affected by Rett syndrome.
Rett syndrome is a unique developmental disorder which begins in early infancy, almost always affecting females. Those with Rett syndrome lose previously acquired hand and verbal skills and remain dependent on care providers for life. Rett syndrome did not come to international attention until 1983. Since then, remarkable progress has been achieved in understanding the clinical history and pathophysiology of Rett syndrome.
I ask all hon. members to join me in commending Olivia and her family for their tremendous courage and determination.

Bill Siksay Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, last week an Iranian woman, a refugee claimant, was deported back to Iran. She was immediately detained, charged with leaving Iran illegally and could face the death penalty. She had fled Iran because of her activism on student and women's issues.
How could this happen given Canada's position at the UN where just last month Canada again condemned Iran's human rights record and its treatment of women? Has the government forgotten Zahra Kazemi's death?
How could the pre-removal risk assessment process conclude that there was no risk of return to Iran? Only 3% of PRRA reviews are successful, raising serious questions about their effectiveness. That Immigration Canada could be so off base with Canada's foreign affairs policy is appalling.
Two years ago Parliament passed the refugee appeal division, a fact based appeal on the merits of a refugee case. The government has refused to implement it, showing contempt for Parliament and leaving refugees at risk.
Deportations to Iran must stop immediately. Deportations to any country where there is any risk of persecution must end. The refugee appeal division must be implemented now.
Veterans Affairs
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Darrel Stinson North Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Gordon Read, who served in the air force for 32 years, has discovered that his wife of 10 years will not be eligible for his military pension upon his passing. Why? It is because Mr. Read married after the age of 60.
How dare this Liberal government decide if a widow or widower should receive a veterans pension based on the age the veteran marries. This is an atrocity.
Our veterans put their lives on the line for our country. Is this how we repay them, by having them worry about what will happen to their loved ones after they are gone?

Meili Faille Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Council for Refugees comprises organizations concerned with defending the rights of asylum-seekers and refugees.
Recently, this organization held a conference in Victoria at which participants wondered if Canada was still an asylum-granting country. I had the opportunity to talk with these people, who live each day in exile and who want only a safe place to live. I saw their disappointment about Canada's lack of consideration for them.
The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the way in which it is currently enforced are inhumane. Since 2002, refugee claims are assessed by only one board member, whose decision cannot be appealed. Although the 2002 legislation set out an appeal process, it has never been implemented.
I remind the government, since it seems to have forgotten, that asylum-seekers have a right to dignity, justice and security. For this reason, the Bloc Québécois demands the immediate implementation of the appeals division for refugee claimants.
Miles Selby

Dave Batters Palliser, SK
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today to pay tribute to Captain Miles Selby, a member of the world renowned Canadian Snowbirds, who was killed in a tragic accident while on a training exercise south of the Snowbirds' base at 15 Wing Moose Jaw this past Friday.
Captain Selby was in his second year with the Snowbirds and was a 13 year veteran of the air force. He had logged over 2,600 hours of military flying experience and had bravely served his country in combat missions in Kosovo.
Captain Selby's dedication to his country and skill as a pilot embody the tradition of military excellence and national pride which the Snowbirds represent.
I would ask my fellow members to join with me in extending our hearts and prayers to Captain Selby's wife, Julie, and his family. His service to Canada, the Snowbirds team and 15 Wing Moose Jaw will not be forgotten.
International Development

2:10 p.m.
Lui Temelkovski Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
Mr. Speaker, I wish to bring attention to the important issue of Canada's role in international development.
As one of the globe's most developed and resource and culturally rich nations, there is an inherent responsibility which ethically and humanely requires Canada to continue to enhance its leadership role in funding untied, non-ideological aid and capacity development to lesser developed nations.
As a nation fuelled by cultural, social and political diversity as opposed to archaic and discriminatory religious fundamentalism, it is important for Canada to utilize its immense capacity to show the world that compassion does exist, and universal, tangible results can be had through the spearheading of those fortunate nation states willing to increase the value they place upon the quality of life.
Arts and Culture
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Maka Kotto Saint-Lambert, QC
Mr. Speaker, can we envision culture without arts and letters, theatre, music, dance, literature, art crafts, and visual and media arts? No. Culture is the heart of every people.
In Quebec, the Mouvement pour les arts et les lettres, which represents 15,000 professional artists, has long been campaigning for increased support for artists, the majority of whom are living below the poverty line.
The government must understand cultural issues and the need for more support to our professional artists. Artists and artisans are not free to create. They generally have a double life imposed upon them by the obligation to earn enough to live on.
So that they may have that freedom to create a culture that will be worthy of protection by an eventual convention on cultural diversity, the budget of the Canada Council for the Arts needs to be raised to $300 million this very year, and the program "Tomorrow Starts Today" must be restored permanently, and enhanced as well.
National Defence
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, there are responsible, effective alternatives to Bush's missile defence, alternatives that would accelerate global disarmament instead of fuelling a dangerous arms buildup and weaponization of space. These include: support of a verifiable, negotiated solution between the U.S. and North Korea; formalize and expand the concept of non-interference with verification; urge all space-faring nations to declare that they would not be the first to deploy weapons in space; support a UN code of conduct for prevention of incidents and dangerous military practices in space, which threaten existing space assets; seek consultation with the U.S. under article IX of the Outer Space Treaty, to which Canada is a signatory; and urge all governments with nuclear weapons to agree on decisive measures to reduce and neutralize their nuclear arsenals, and work toward acceptance of these by non-weapon states.

Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, we are rapidly nearing Christmas and I am sure the Prime Minister does not want to be known to Atlantic Canadians as the evil grinch who takes their oil and gas and gives them only a lump of coal in return.
Will the Prime Minister stop dithering and deliver on the deal he promised with no eight year moratorium on prosperity?
Natural Resources
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, the objective of this government is to achieve permanent and ongoing prosperity for Atlantic Canadians and for all Canadians. The equalization program is part of that. The offshore accords are part of that. The most recent negotiations are also part of that. The work is ongoing at the very highest level and we anticipate success, but it is not over yet.
Natural Resources
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, if the government's objective is to create a have status in Atlantic Canada, it has failed and continues to fail in that area.
Last week Atlantic ministers were here in Ottawa being stonewalled by federal officials. In Halifax the Atlantic premiers were being stalled by the Clerk of the Privy Council. Surprise, the Prime Minister was nowhere to be found.
This is a promise for the Prime Minister, not for his officials, to keep. My question again is for the Prime Minister. Will he show some leadership, not play Scrooge, and get this deal done before Christmas?

Been running a really sweet 16 team dynasty fantasy hoops league for about 10 years. Salary cap, keep your entire team from year to year, with a draft for just rookies and FA's each October. Good league with good owners. Use CBS Sportsline. Head to head points league. Play 19 weekly games. Four 4-team divisions. 8/16 teams make the playoffs. Pay the top 4. It's a fun league.
Had one owner crap out. Need someone to take this team over. Has to be someone who will commit to the team long term.
They have some decent young talent, led by Eric Gordon, Brook Lopez, Michael Beasley, and Wesley Johnson. They also have Arenas, Turkoglu, Jamison, Wes Matthews, and Kendrick Perkins. And a lottery pick (yet to conduct lottery) in this fall's draft.

Bill/SFNM beat me to the punch on this one. But, to add to what Bill said, spammers usually try to slip links into their posts or in signature lines or with their avatars. Maybe the new member is just a big fan of the Bacio cheese and wants to shout it out to the world. Even if the member is a spammer, I would not want to delete the post by scott r or the other members with opinions and views on the Bacio cheese.Peter
I gave a call to the Bacio Cheese Company today. They are not aware of this pizza forum, so I am sure that they did not place it.
They may not have, but I can almost guarantee their broker or rep group did. No random person made that first post.
Why is it that the public is restricted from buying restaurant quality goods? It makes no sense to me at all. I ask out of genuine puzzlement, not trying to start a battle.

The healthiest brown rice I can find!
Reviewer2587754发表于 Jan 27, 2013
I have been eating Mekong Flower organic Brown Rice (from Cambodia) for about 4 months now, and it is the healthiest brown rice I can find. I switched to it after suffering severe arsenic poisoning from all the U.S.-grown rice products I was eating (organic brown rice, organic brown rice pasta and organic millet-rice bread). The problem with brown rice is that it is ALWAYS contaminated with arsenic, a toxic heavy metal, no matter what country it is grown in. It is inherent to this grain, which must be grown in a water-flooded soil; this allows large amounts of normally present arsenic to be sucked up into the plant. "Though arsenic can enter soil or water due to weathering of arsenic-containing minerals in the earth, humans are more to blame than Mother Nature for arsenic contamination in the U.S. today, according to the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. The U.S. is the world's leading user of arsenic, and since 1910 about 1.6 million tons have been used for agricultural and industrial purposes, about half of it only since the mid-1960s. Residues from the decades of use of lead-arsenate insecticides linger in agricultural soil today, even though their use was banned in the 1980s." From http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2012/11/arsenic-in-your-food/index.htm So in my local health food store I found brown rices from overseas (I now get them from iHerb at lower cost): Madagascar Pink rice was very good for me for about 3 months, but it is milled so it is only 2/3 whole, and 1/3 white. Then I tried Volcano Rice from Indonesia, but that is more than 1/2 white rice, so I switched to Organic Brown Mekong Flower Rice, 100% whole grain! I eat it for my high protein lunch with low-salt Goat Creme Cheese and Pumpkin Seed Butter. Delicious, filling, and healthy!!
Amazing organic brown rice.

So delicious and nutritious. In addition to being gluten free and suitable for people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance, this ancient brown rice is rich in protein, dietary fiber, niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B6, thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), folic acid (vitamin B9), manganese, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, iron, calcium, potas sium, molybdenum, phytosterols, antioxidants and flavonoids, and is beneficial for people suffering from diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, heart disease, gastritis, acid reflux, nausea, indigestion, osteoporosis, arthritis, rheumatism and even cancer: it helps stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, prevents blood spikes keeping you full longer, aids digestion, prevents heartburn and acid reflux, increases appetite, soothes the stomach lining, reduces colon inflammation, normalizes blood pressure, lowers triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, protects against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, helps maintain healthy bones and teeth, and even reduces the risk of cancer. I love this organic brown rice: not only is it delicious and great in different recipes, but also it helps normalize my cholesterol levels and blood pressure and relieves the symptoms of my acid reflux and gastritis. Wonderful product. Highly recommended.
Reviewer2415807发表于 Aug 02, 2012
After falling in love with their Jade rice I decided to try this one. It's a disappointment. Good texture and cooks nicely, but the flavor is lacking. Bland and lacks the sweetness common to almost every other variety of brown rice.

Very, very cool Jess. It looks like you had a lot of fun. It is funny how you can handle a horse the same way as another yet 1 is afraid of everything and hates the saddle while the other one is fine. They really have their own ideas on how things should be (at least in their mind). They are far smarter than some give them credit for. I am glad to see you are still around. Great post, thank you.

Our opinion: Take pride; help
Mother Nature intervened last year, and, for the first time in 65 years, weather brought an abrupt halt to the Warren Fourth of July Parade.
But, that doesn't mean organizers fear a repeat performance.
In fact, planning is already underway for the 66th annual parade, and they are looking for some help.
The one-day celebration – on Thursday this year – will keep the tradition alive, with the parade as the keystone of the festivities.
In addition to the march down the avenue, there will be a pre-parade show, activities at Betts Park and fireworks, of course.
All of this takes a great deal of planning and a great deal of work.
What makes celebrations such as these so important for a community like Warren is that they are "community" events; they draw on the talents and commitment of community members to make them a success. Warren's Fourth of July celebration has been, and continues to be, the high point of the city's summer. Many families plan reunions around it.
If you have pride in your city; if you like being involved in positive work; if you enjoy seeing your work pay off in the enjoyment of others; you owe it to yourself to volunteer in some way to make the 66th celebration more than make up for the ill-fated 65th.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (86 votes).
In short: First class organisation and the views are not bad either!In full: Great day and well thought out - plenty of water etc. I was surprised I got my time texted to me in a few minutes. Could even enjoy this in rubbish autumn weather but we were lucky on the day. Fellow Duffers may have found a couple nagging inclines but no problem if you've trained and going at a sensible pace. A few pinch-points around road narrowing and some turns but the only real hazard was avoiding water bottles not thrown off-roadDate of review: October 18, 2010
In short: An organised race with a scenic course with pb potential.Date of review: October 18, 2010
In short: In full: Enjoyable but some people took it far too seriously - being sworn at for passing someone spoilt the day for me. There was lots of support to the day which was absolutely tremendous. I was very disappointed by the television programme shown on the half marathon - too much time was taken up showing "celebrities". Date of review: October 18, 2010
In short: Everything you would expect from a big raceIn full: Flat, fast, lots of runners, lots of spectators ... Date of review: October 17, 2010
In short: feel good race with great support all along the courseIn full: Second time I'd run this race and I thought last year was better organised. Big toilet block at the start of the festival area meant you had to fight through a crowd to get in. Baggage area was very slow and some people were still trying to put their bags in when the race was starting.BMF pacers were a great idea but only available for 3 times. Some of us slower ones ould have done with a pacer- it might have pushed us to a slightly quicker time.Date of review: October 17, 2010
In short: Very slick organisation, great scenery and a PBDate of review: October 15, 2010
In short: One of my favourite races of the yearIn full: Great event - wonderfully organised, great atmosphere - a little pricey - but it is only once a year and the scenary (espceially the first 6 miles) rivals any city in the world!Date of review: October 15, 2010
In short: Great combo of cityscapes and greenery, great atmosphere and slick organisationIn full: Really well organised, especially the warmup before ( more and louder please next time), the pace runners so you could see if you were on track, and, my favourite, I loved the Percy pigs! This is a brilliant run combining amazing cityscapes with greenery, the great atmosphere of a large run but smooth as clockwork on the organisation. Had a great lunch after - more jazz please and less kickboxing on the stage! Finally the t-shirt rocks, my favourite of the summer!Date of review: October 14, 2010
In short: Fantastic sights, great atmosphere and good crowd support.Date of review: October 14, 2010
In short: Brilliant organisation, great course, loads of free stuff!Date of review: October 14, 2010

At Home With An Urban Cowboy
June 4, 2008. Posted by Andrew Meyer.Add new comment | Filed under: Black Heritage Riders, Horses, News, Real Life Stories, Urban Cowboy, WBGO Journal
I recently stopped by the Piscataway home of Miles Dean to talk about a little trip he just got back from. The Newark teacher spent six months crossing the country on horseback.
It's a remarkable story which you can hear more about in the WBGO Journal archives. After I was done with the interview, we continued to talk on tape about this and that, including his love of horses and, in particular, the horse he relied on during his cross-country journey. I also brought along my camera to get some shots and video of Miles and his horses which you can check out in a short film I produced.

text: Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter have made great strides toward explaining how genetic mutations found in childhood can lead to severe cognitive and behavioral problems. A study led by Gavin Rumbaugh (right) found many children with severe intellectual and behavioral impairments possess mutations in a protein that plays a crucial role in development. This discovery shows, for the first time, a causative link between abnormal synapse maturation during development and life-long cognitive problems. Scripps is now looking to determine the optimal time to repair these mutations, which may be very early in life. (561-228-2000, scripps.edu)

I have only good feedback to give you - we enjoyed Punta Sur a lot, despite the beach being red flagged so no snorkeling - the water was enjoyable for a cool dip and lunch was fantastic! Our guide was very kind and explained a lot to us. The bikes were a lot of fun.
A. Fioravantes (March 2016) ~ Albuquerque, NM USA
Thank you so much, we had a wonderful time at both adventures. Jungle Adventures took great care of us. They went above and beyond to ensure our day was a success. Thanks again to Alex, Javier and family. We also enjoyed Angel Jimenez tour with the snorkeling. Very laid back, not crowded or rushed just an absolutely perfect day!!! And we ate the best conch ceviche at El Cid. We did not have time to visit PalMar but it is on our list for next time. Thanks to all and I will be giving great reviews on trip advisor so if there is a way to work in Cozumel Insider....I will!!!
Natalie & Robert (March 2016) ~ Humble, TX USA
My husband and I were there in August with a group from Deep South Scuba, Jackson, MS. It was my first experience in drift diving, and it was fantastic! Santos and Jaime are excellent divemasters and William was so helpful! They went out of their way to make sure we had an enjoyable time. Jaime also took several of us on a night dive and made sure that we had an experience that was "first rate". Thanks for the experience; all others will fall short!
S. & K. Jones ~ Glen Allan, MS
Thanks for recommending Dive Paradise. I wanted to let you know that we returned from our trip in mid December and couldn't say enough about how we enjoyed our diving. We had an awesome time. The divemasters and crew were exceptionally helpful and provided us with a wonderful first time diving experience in Cozumel. They really jumped through hoops in making sure that we saw some incredible stuff. We'll surely return! Thanks again for all your help and advice!!
M. K. Franks ~ Redland, MO
We reserved two cruiser bikes in advance through our contacts with Cozumel Insiders. Everything went extremely smoothly with the reservation process and picking up our bikes. The bikes were in good condition, the staff helped us make sure we were 'fitted' properly and provided a lock and helmets. We used the bikes for 5 of the 7 days we were on the island and found it an ideal way to get around town and out to the beaches and snorkel sites.. Cozumel is ideal for cycling as the terrain is so flat. A great alternative for seeing the island.

So if you do buy some beengs from Scott at YSLLC, start up a thread titled something like "YSLLC Reviews" and we all can scribble out thoughts on his stuff in there.
Coming back to the puerhshop tasting, it seems as if the package the most love is being showed for is "Taste of Mellowness." Anybody feel strongly against having this tasting first?
Me too. And I am at least a little creeped out by the fact that our host is a vendor, essentially a competitor of some of the stuff we plan to discuss. It doesn't seem like good manners. Sort of like making dovey eyes with some chick in her husband's house -- esp when you know he has an aresenal in the next room!Trioxin wrote: I'm worried it would wind up being a mess of reviews and discussions.

Of course, we LOVE the interntional flavor. The only limitation would be how far Jim at Puerhshop is willing to ship and whether you are willing to pay the shipping. I assume that he is like everyone else and delighted to ship anywhere at a modest price.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment, that needs to be a little bit refreshed, is big enough for 4 persons and it's equipped with everything you need for a short stay. Bed linen and towels are provided and are in excellent conditions. Very convenient for Fiera Milano and San Siro stadium, with a short metro ride you are in the center of Milano. Filiberto and Marcello are very fair and helpful persons.
It was a pleasure to rent an apartment from Filiberto. He and his friend are a two nice guys.
The apartment doesn't look so great like on the pictures, but is clean, has a wifi, Milan maps, useful informations, clean towels, hair dryer, shower gels and many more what the tourist needs.
We had a problem with the order a taxi (they don't speak english) - Filiberto was very helpful and he had done it for us.
I truly recomend this guy.
Nice apartment.Nice neighbourhoud.
Excellent and comfortable solution at 2 steps from the metro Conciliation. Very well equipped kitchen, good cleaning, friendly welcome and nice. Apartment well furnished, comfortable, discreet, elegant. Bathroom a little small but equipped with every comfort. Attention to every detail.
Ottima e confortevole soluzione a 2 passi dalla metro Conciliazione. Molto ben fornita la cucina, ottima pulizia, accoglienza cordiale e simpatica. Appartamento ben arredato, confortevole, discreto, elegante.
Bagno un pò piccino ma dotato di ogni comfort. Curato in ogni dettaglio.
The location of the apartment is really convenient. It is a walking distance from Porta Venezia station, supermarket and the shopping boutiques. The apartment and its facilities were satisfactory & the staff were really helpful. Overall, my family is pleased with our stay! Will recommend to anyone especially with family who is looking for accommodation in Milan.
It was a nice appartment and a perfect location by the canal, where you could find different places to eat and drink. It was also near to the subway which gave good possibilities to get around in the City. We did not spend much time in the app. but it was nice and proper and we were good taken care of in right time and prompt answer when arriving. So we give it a high grade and recomend it to other clients.
Thanks Filiberto.
The apartment on the 3th floor without elevator is true to the photos. Clean, beds made and fresh towels changed. Adequate equipment in good working condition. The only small snag the soundproofing.! The double glazing is not very good and pa as there is a bar below open until 2.00 in the morning it is a little noisy. But it is the only complaint. It is conveniently located near the tram and tt near the metro. 10 minutes from the center by public transport. A good product
L appartement au 3em etage sans ascenseur est fidèles aux photos. Propre, les lits faits et du linge de toilette fraîchement changé. Équipements suffisants et en bon état de marche.
Le seul petit hic l insonorisation.!! Les doubles vitrages ne sont pa très bons et comme il y a un bar en dessous ouvert jusque 2.00 du matin c est un peu bruyant . Mais c est le seul reproche à faire.
Il est idéalement situé à proximité du tram et tt près du métro. 10 min du centre par transport en commun.
Un bon produit
Everything worked out great, clean apartment great location, had a great weekend in Milan, gladly again, grazie di tutto
Alles super geklappt, Wohnung sauber super Lage,ein schönes Wochenende in Mailand gehabt,gerne wieder,grazie di tutto
Staying in Boccaccio 47 was anticipated just great! We have added more of a critical force has seen a lot in the world, but by the friendly reception by an employee of Filiberto, about the handling during the stay and even the willingness by 6 clock on Saturday morning was the key counter back to take simple only top service! The apartment, in the first moment you simply just think WOW what an awesome part. But since we were 4 came shortly on the question whether it is not a bit too small. Of no way! The location is just amazing, the morning of the first day we are right to "Leonardo" to his little cafe is about 600-800m up the road to the castle. The metro station "Conciliazione" is 1 min away from the door and of 1.50 € per trip a cheap means of transportation. If, however, Bock, one is also closed to within 15 minutes on foot and the beginning of the wonderful shopping street in the heart of Milan. All around a good thing this apartment and 100% recommended! Greetings Dani :)
Der Aufenthalt in Boccaccio 47 war vorweg einfach SUPER!! Wir sind zugegeben eher eine kritische Truppe die schon viel in der Welt gesehen hat, aber vom freundlichen Empfang durch ein Mitarbeiter von Filiberto, über das Handling während des Aufenthalts und sogar die Bereitschaft um 6 Uhr den Schlüssel am Samstag morgen wieder entgegen zu nehmen war einfach nur Spitzen Service!!
Zur Wohnung, im ersten Moment denkt man einfach nur WOW was ein geiles Teil. Da wir aber zu 4 waren kam kurz die Frage auf ob sie nicht ein bisschen zu klein ist. Keines wegs!
Die Lage ist einfach nur grandios, am Morgen des ersten Tages sind wir direkt zu "Leonardo" dem sein kleines Café ca.600-800 m die Straße rauf in Richtung Burg ist. Die Metro-Station "Conciliazione" ist 1 min von der Haustüre entfernt und mit 1,50€ pro Fahrt ein günstiges Fortbewegungsmittel. Wenn man jedoch Bock hat, ist man auch in 15 min zu Fuß am schloss und dem Anfang der wunderbaren Shoppingmeile im Herzen von Mailand.
Rundum eine feine Sache dieses Apartment und zu 100% weiterzuempfehlen!
Grüße Dani :)

Guess what? Gravity owns you. Sure, you can escape it for a few quick (and messy) seconds in a famed "vomit comet," but eventually you're going to come back down to earth.
Well, the very same force that's perfect for keeping paddleboats and livestock from floating around, isn't so great for our bodies. In fact, gravity + poor posture is really harsh on joints, muscles and vertebrae.
Over time, hunching forward (lordosis) or arching backward (kyphosis) can tire and even injure the back and neck. And even sitting perfectly upright at a 90-degree angle isn't great for the body (contrary to your math teacher's scolding), and neither is lying flat at 180 degrees. Turns out the ideal body posture angle – or "neutral posture" – is actually somewhere around 130 degrees.
How do we know this? Some very smart people told us. In the '70s during its SkyLab program, NASA coined the term "Neutral Body Position" on discovering that when the human body is completely relaxed and not influenced by gravity – either in space or to a large degree when floating in water (dead man's float position) – joints naturally assume a "muscle neutral" position. (Interesting to note NASA's studies occurred at the outset of the computer revolution, which would quickly introduce terms like repetitive stress injuries, cumulative trauma disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and carpal tunnel syndrome to mainstream America.)
In this neutral posture – such as achieved in Human Touch Perfect Chairs – the vertebrae achieve optimal, equidistant spacing, easing the effects of gravity's constant strain and pulling. Gravity might be boss, but it's good to know you can take a vacation from it.
