This device strengthens the respiratory system and helps reduce shortness of breath. The device gently restricts airflow as you breathe through it, creating resistance that builds muscles in the respiratory system that weaken with age or due to asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema. Similar to larger units used in hospitals, the respiratory exerciser adjusts to different levels of resistance to help foster gradual improvement without unnecessary strain. Independent tests show that inspiratory muscle training can reduce dyspnoea (shortness of breath) when used twice a day for one month. About the size of a cell phone, the unit transports easily. Mouthpiece rinses clean. 5" L x 2" W x 1" H. (2 1/2 oz.)

The directions for use are not as clear as I would like them to be. I need to use it for a longer period of time before I can make a good judgement. Send a message to me in about a month for a more accurate comment.

STV was the owner's representative and construction manager for both the pre-construction and construction phases of the $22.9 million restoration and rehabilitation of Roosevelt House, the historic New York City home of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. The six-story brick and limestone townhouse, a registered landmark completed in 1908, was in need of extensive repair when it was closed in 1992. It reopened in spring 2010 as the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College. An extension to the basement and sub-cellar created an auditorium to host conferences, lectures and other programs. The former dining and drawing rooms are now available for presentations and receptions. Franklin Roosevelt's library has been restored as a museum and seminar space. The top floor has been converted into two apartments and a roof terrace. STV was responsible for managing the schedule, budget and all prime contractors for the project, which is located on a logistically challenging site on East 65th Street in Manhattan. The firm also provided all estimating, scheduling and constructability services.

Although the role varies significantly from one organization to another, CFOs are currently responsible for far more than tracking financial figures.

Nightshades have been associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions and headaches.
Ten years ago I bought a catastrophic policy for even less than that, despite an autoimmune disease and raging asthma.
The Andrews family had already lost a daughter to an autoimmune disease in 1999.
Prednisone is often used to combat the inflammation brought on by autoimmune diseases.
This autoimmune disorder, which affects about seven in 10,000 people, causes numbness and pain in the limbs and imbalance walking.
I am a 28 year old female who suffer from the autoimmune disease lupus.
That means women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and anyone with an autoimmune disease should probably avoid these cleanses.
As a child she struggled with an autoimmune disease, spending many years at home in a wheelchair.
The thing is that autoimmune diseases—like diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis—are on the rise.
Crazy people who gloated about my being uninsured, and afflicted by an autoimmune disease.

I know a lot of you would love to have a debate with me on Michael Bisping, especially Jimmy, but why is Bisping saying Vitor needs to fight him in the US and stop hiding in Brazil, he got knocked dizzy and finished, he then picks a fight with Askren who in turn would walk through him, even though it wouldn't happen.
Long live the Count!!!

Lenovo Ideapad S10e
why ?
because i use it , baby
i have an Asus 1005HA... most of my problems came with my lack of knowledge than the system itself... so finally getting it to work the way I wanted to was part of the fun and learning process... i think you should just research a bit about a particular system if it's remotely compatible... if it doesn't work out of the box then consider it your first trial that you need to overcome...
Dum spiro spero
Lenovo Ideapad S10e
why ?
because i use it , baby
I have the Asus 1005. It works well. I would recommend it. The wireless driver isn't correct on it(from my experience), and the fix seems to break it more. Solution is to simply buy a $25 Gigabyte card(have to modify the inside of the netbook a little for it to fit.
One of the main benefits of the asus over the acer is the asus can boot from it's flash drive. So you can buy a handful of usb flash cards and boot off them instead of having a lame usb thumb drive sticking out the side.
no such thing as the best netbook for backtrack. they should just about all work with the proper confuguration
Netbooks are underpowered laptops or very very expensive.
Make yourself a shortlist of the ones you like and can afford and look up their specifications with the manufacturer based on the model number
the specifuications will be all almost identical the main things you want to check are.
Can it support more than 1 gigabyte of ram 2 gigabytes is usually the maximum. you may want more ram later on. a gigabyte of ram just isn't enough for all the bells and whistles especialy considering it will probably be shared with your video card
Dose it have a long battery life battery life is important if your traveling with it.
A six cell battery is better than a four cell battery and the batteries never last as long as advertised.
Is the internal wireless network card backtrack compatible? I can't say enough about how important this is. Check the hardware compatibility list at http://wiki.remote-exploit.org
Matte screen not glossy or you will be unable to read in bright sunlight. your screen will turn into a mirror outdoors in the sun if its glossy.
Screen size is also a really big deal a 7 inch screen is way too small for comfortable reading or web browsing. I personaly the smallest screen size I would consider is 10 inch
Hard drive vs ssd for storage ssd will get better battery life but their expensive and small
the average hd size is 160 Gb for a netbook. and you probably will want that space if you want to do anything besides web usage.
Keyboard size is also a big issue if you don't have tiny hands a cramped keyboard will drive you insane...
my personal newbook pick was this one from
Acer 10.1" Aspire One AOD150-1920 Red Netbook PC with Intel Atom Processor N270, 160GB Hard Drive, Windows XP, 6-Cell Battery
wallmart.com has it for $323usd
good luck
Just cause I don't have ten thousand posts don't mean I'm a newbie or a Idiot ! :cool: The only dumb question is the one you don't ask Google first! ;) The biggest problem I had as a Linux newbie was I didn't know to ask Google the right questions!:eek:
The matte screen as mentioned above is actually an excellent point..
I used to have an eeepc, 901m and that had the matte screen, however that died a death..
Replaced it with a Samsung N10 which is an awesome netbook, had some issued with BT3, but BT4 running beautifully.
However this one does have a glossy screen which drives me nuts in bright light..
I just wasnt thinking about that when I was in the shop..
yo tengo una acer aspire one 150 y funciona todo exepto los botones de bajar el volumen pero todo lo demas creo que funciona no he inyectado trafico pero si puedo decir que mi propia contrase~a la consigio "arreglando el diccionario" a 9 min eso si la falta de procesadores para romper wpa2 la limita pero por todo lo demas todo bien

There will not be an English translation

Clausen Added To 2012-13 Women's Golf Squad
DES MOINES, Iowa - The Drake women's golf team, under the leadership of third-year head coach Leanne Smith, has announced the addition of Katie Clausen (Hinton, Iowa/Hinton), who will join the Bulldogs' squad for the 2012-13 campaign.
A four-time all-state selection at Hinton High School, including first-team accolades this past season, Clausen placed sixth individually at the Iowa state championship as a senior helping the Blackhawks to a fourth-place team finish. She was also a member of a state runner-up squad as a junior. Clausen collected first-team all-region and All-War Eagle Conference recognition in each of her final three campaigns. She was also honored as Hinton High School's Valedictorian in 2012.
"I am excited to welcome Katie to the team," Smith commented. "She has the potential to be a standout golfer for us as she has a great demeanor for the game of golf and is a well-rounded young woman. I couldn't be happier that she has decided to continue her golf career here at Drake."

DOJ announces agreement on Close-Hipp Building lease
In one of the most significant developments for the University of South Carolina in decades, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Monday (July 20) that it has agreed to a 20-year lease for the Close-Hipp Building that houses the Darla Moore School of Business.
The proposed move, announced at a news conference in Columbia, will bring more than 250 high-paying jobs to Columbia and allow the university to construct a new building for the Darla Moore School of Business in the heart of Innovista, the university's innovative research district. University and DOJ officials said the DOJ has agreed to lease the building to house staff from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys in Washington, D.C.
"What we will build here will serve the cause of justice for generations to come," said Deputy Attorney General David W. Ogden. "This project was years in the making and took the work of many dedicated staff. The result will greatly enhance our existing presence at the NAC, while the infusion of jobs and resources will help the university in its efforts to expand its business school and advance its economic development mission."

March 8, 2012
Dear FOS11 Members,
As the days of 2011 drew to a close and we began a new year, we at Families of September 11 have been assessing our role in the 9/11 community and the larger population impacted by terrorism.
Ten years ago FOS11 was founded, out of necessity and common cause, by family members who lost loved ones on September 11, 2011. We needed information and a platform from which to speak to that need. None of us really knew what was ahead of us. Beyond those immediate weeks and months, our mission solidified: to raise awareness about the effects of terrorism and public trauma and to champion domestic and international policies that prevent, protect against, and respond to terrorist acts.
In our early years, FOS11 served as a hub for 9/11 related information of particular interest to the family members of those who died and we communicated through email list-serves, a yahoo user group, and our web site. Among our early achievements were efforts to:
-assure dignified handling of human remains at Ground Zero, -increase access to the medical examiner's office, -provide counseling resources to address financial exigencies and access to counseling, -advocate for media constraint in, or at least advance warning of, depictions of graphic images of victims or of destruction caused by the attacks,-advocate for regulatory and administrative changes to enhance recovery from the Victim's Compensation Fund and -support the work of the 9/11 Commission.
-assure dignified handling of human remains at Ground Zero, -increase access to the medical examiner's office, -provide counseling resources to address financial exigencies and access to counseling, -advocate for media constraint in, or at least advance warning of, depictions of graphic images of victims or of destruction caused by the attacks,-advocate for regulatory and administrative changes to enhance recovery from the Victim's Compensation Fund and -support the work of the 9/11 Commission.
Many of our Board Members passionately crusaded for changes in public policy with the intent that no one else would have to go through the same experiences as we did. We joined in development of an on-line grief survey and created an online chat program to provide an opportunity for members to meet online and exchange ideas with others in the 9/11 community who were facing similar challenges.
Our web site and emails have kept our membership up to date and informed about issues related to 9/11 and terrorism. The Children of September 11 web pages have provided resources and links to emotional support websites, information on scholarships and camps, and miscellaneous resources on subjects like school safety and other organizations that provide support to children. For many, we have been an accurate, non-partisan and reliable source of information, keeping our focus on marginalizing the scourge of terrorism and mitigating its effects while preserving our civil liberties.
In 2008 we embarked on a new project, the 4 Action Initiative, a collaboration of FOS11, the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education, and Liberty Science Center. More than three years of work was brought to fruition this summer when the 4 Action Initiative released its K-12 curriculum, Learning From the Challenges of Our Times: Global Security, Terrorism, and 9/11 in the Classroom. The 4 Action Initiative curriculum places the events of September 11th in a larger and more meaningful educational context by providing an opportunity for students to learn through age appropriate lessons about the complexities of today's world: threats to global security and terrorism, factors that contribute to terrorism, consequences of an attack and finally, what can be done to prevent such events from occurring in the future. The curriculum, like the work of the 9/11 Commission, is a well-lit path forward, built on lessons learned.
During the many commemoration events this past September, we were able to see the various changes in so many of us who will be forever affected by that first day. My fellow board members and I have concluded that the best way to realize FOS11's mission to raise awareness about the effects of terrorism in a lasting way is through education, specifically through the 4 Action Initiative. After much contemplation we have decided that the best next step is to sunset Families of September 11 and enable the 4 Action Initiative to flourish.
In the coming weeks we will take the steps necessary to conclude the operations of Families of September 11 and dedicate our remaining resources to launching a new website and structure for the 4 Action Initiative to stand on its own. The redesigned website will feature the lesson plans released this summer in a new design that is easily downloadable for teachers and educators. In the coming years additional lessons will be added. Many of the resources that have been available on the FOS11 or the COS11 website will remain accessible through an archival version of our web site, linked to the 4 Action Initiative site.
We will also work with those of you who would like to remain linked to a 9/11 organization by providing information on some of the other family and 9/11 groups. And we will maintain your place on the mailing list to be managed by the 4 Action Initiative.
The 4 Action Initiative has been spearheaded by Mary Ellen Salamone, a former FOS11 board member, and Donna Gaffney, a long-time advisory board member. We know that this project will be in good hands and that through it our young people will have resources to think critically about the events of 9/11 and understand the context of that time.
Thank you for being with us and providing support over these ten years. The work of Families of September 11 is soon done. The efforts of the 4 Action Initiative are, in a way, only beginning.
Donald GoodrichChairman of the Board

Clean and tidy, efficient staff. As a member of the Priority Club Rewards, I did not receive any confirmation from staff that points would be automatically credited to me, and I am still unaware as to whether this is the case.
Nothing, awful hotel Staying this hotel is really a nightmare. The worst hotel in the world I have ever stayed. Completely overpriced. You may easily have to pay the double amount worth the value. Not clean, not conmfortable room, in front of the hotel is garbage mountain. No air-con working properly, poor breakfast, and particulary arrogant and lie-telling staff.
The fact that I could smoke in the room
comfortable well equiped accomadation and pleasant helpful staff loud street noise - window insulation needs upgrading
The most central location in Toulouse
Great location, in the heart of Toulouse No safelock in the room, although it was mentioned in the service description. View on Place du Capitol only available for Suites, all normal rooms have unpleasant view on very narrow side streets.
Welcoming reception staff. rOOM was very well appointed and bed comfortable Drinks were very expensive and noisy rugby supporters were at the hotel at the same time as us!
Excellent location if you want to visit the principal atractions Difficult to reach by car as it is situated exactly in the city center. Expensive parking price
The quality of food in the restaurant was excellent as was the level of service in the restaurant. Bar service.Bar counter was deserted most of the time and one had to go to reception to request service.The price of drinks was very expensive.Breakfast was not included and was expensive
clean/roomy and comfortable. great central location
The decor and presentation of the hotel is very pleasant, and the staff very friendly Our room wasn't ready on arrival, we said we'd come back in a few hours to give them some time to sort it out, when we got back late in the afternoon and they gave us the key - they hadn't touched it. Towels all over the bathroom floor, beds un-made, rubbish over the floor etc. An oversite, but a pretty poor first impression to give your customers in what was otherwise a very pleasant hotel...
everything is good
This is a very unique, clean and sylish hotel we would not hesitate to use again The food was good but not exceptional
Location in easy walking distance to the city center. Comfortable rooms. Very expensive and forced valet parking (17 Euro/day). Free wifi is of poor quality and cuts out often. The room rate is only good value if you pay a discounted price. The breakfast is priced at 22 Euro / pp. The rooms at the street-side are noisy. The insulation is mediocre (poor window frame fittings) and you will hear traffic noise all night long. The front desk is aware but warns that rooms on the backside of the hotel are also noisy due to garbage trucks coming through in the early morning.
quiet, peaceful design, very efficient staff
Modern style Room had been used by a smoker previously and smelled.
Superb hotel! Very friendly en helpful personel. Delicious breakfast, luxery room, clean and spacious. Free wifi. We were satisfied about everything, but nevertheless I think that it would be an asset for the hotel if there were a sauna and/or swimming pool.
The room was recently renovated - very comfortable and surprisingly spacious Renovations are continuing until later in 2009. Noisy during the day so don;t think you can nap in the afternoon
Quality of the service and smiles of the staff
Friendly and helpul staff Well appointed and decorated rooms
The hotel was very well situated to take the bus to the airport.
Close to Toulouse center the indoor parking, too small
This was a pleasant hotel in a good area. It was nice and quiet and we were well looked after with an ample breakfast each morning.
Free parking which is easily accessible, quiet location which is walking distance from the city centre. The hotel itself has not a lot to offer besides good parking and a good location. The terrace looked worn down and there are some peculiar smells in parts of the hotel.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. Covered parking was free as well as use of internet.
nothing no atmosphere, too far out of city centre, expensive for what it was , we live in france so know the prices of comparable hotels, luckily we speak french as staff did not
Spacious quiet room. Comfortable bed. Air conditioning. Location a little bit out of old city but only 10 minutes walk. Dated and a bit shabby. Some broken items in the room and bathroom. Needs a makeover. Internet in rooms is wired. Useless if you travel with an iphone and an ipad.
Breakfast was good. The bed was not the best (big dip in the middle) so we had to change the covers around and sleep across its width.
it was a quiet place. the quality of personal staff, very small and ugly room. I change my room with a suite.
first trip to toulouse and the hotel was within walking distance of all we wanted to visit. Added bonus was the free parking .
our room was quiet and clean, the hotel staff were friendly and helpful and the location was good for access to the airport and reasonably close to the railway station.
The location and staff is great. Nothing to dislike..(for the price)
The hotel is in a busy area of restaurants with lots of people about but the rooms were double glazed so you couldn,t here the noise. There should be Tea / Coffee available in the rooms. Not having to go to reception to get a drink
Excellent location and very helpful staff
Central location Shower , water from shower gets to the floor every time you shower
The staff were very helpful and friendly No
there was a piano in the lobby.
Location was very good, very central for bars, restaurants and shopping. The hotel bar closed very early so after dinner it was not possible to have a night cap!
Comfort of the room, air conditioning, late check-out.
Excellent location, functional and spacious rooms. Hotel is also suitable for business travellers. Parking garage in the basement.
Ideally situated.
Convenient location No cot was provided despite it being requested at booking. Sheets were not changed daily. Staff were not particularly welcoming. More suited to buisness travellers than families.
I found the staff very helpful when wanting to cancel the booking after one very uncomfortable and expensive night. The synthetic / nylon sheets made the bed extreemly hot. we asked for and were given an extra room, no mention of price was given, but it was cheaper & better quality to stay four nights elsewhere. I would not stay again or recomend it to anyone
Central location More pricey that other hotels of similar quality in the same area.
Perfect location + great combination of price and quality. Very comfortable room with nice view.Good brekfast.
good location, excellent staff
Free Wifi, clean rooms, good breakfast. Small rooms and bit too expensive in my view.
The staff were incredibly helpful. The room was clean and pleasant. Free WiFi was wonderful I would prefer breakfast to be included (or, at the minimum, less costly).
Reception staff were very good Restaurant staff friendly and helpful good location Quiet and relaxing housekeeping - our shower gelwas not repelenished and would have expected this at a hotel in ths price range. We were upgraded to a suit (thank you) - there were plates and mugs left unwashed
Breakfast must be included in the price, 12 euro extra for breakfast is too much
The electric cattle in the room with tea bags. Size of wc is very small and location in the bathroom is also very bad (very difficult to sit). It is very uncomfortable.
It was nicely clean and comfortable. The breakfast was too expensive. 16 Euros is a lot for a small meal.
The reception staff very knowledgeable and helpful I thought the full breakfast selection was limited
Excellent location, very clean room and bathroom (and reasonably spacious). Very friendly staff, especially the evening guy who provided very good suggestions for authentic Toulouse restaurants for dinner.
The grandeur of the hotel reception area
A lovely quiet and cool room. We were upgraded. The two restaurants were very good, and the staff were very courteous and friendly. Air of calm. Nice courtyard to relax in. No face cloths in the bathroom. No breakfast other than room service. Breakfast costs 22euros per person ! Porters were not available to help us with our luggage to and from the taxi (arrival & departure). They were around mostly - except when we needed them !
Very nice room, thematic decoration, friendly and competent staff, good breakfast.
When we decided to go the Toulouse I wanted a central hotel and this hotel perfectly fits the bill. For an hotel in the centre of Toulouse I thought it was pretty good value for money. The evening meal was quite expensive for what we got.
The location was great. Also, the staff were all very helpful. The rooms were a bit old and tired.
Impeccable Without the special deal, would have been too expensive. Breakfast expensive, better to go to Square
Location and the baggage folks and housekeepers were extremely helpful. The front desk and manager did not have our room available to us even though we were 45 minutes after the check in time of 3:30 pm. Though the manager offered us drinks, they told us 30 minutes since room was not ready. Then we set in lobby and watched 10-12 other guests arrive and been checked in immediately. After 60 minutes, and complaining about the long delay and how tired we were, we finally were shown a room in the back of the hotel. We did not even use the normal elevator, but some elevator in the rear. The room was the worse. It was small, had no light and generally was not acceptable for a hotel with rating. To make things worse, tried to order coffee the next morning, and it never arrived. Can not recommend this hotel. Felt the whole event was of no value.
Location is possibly best in Toulouse. Good sized room and being off the square, enabled leaving window open at night without undue noise (needed see aircon below) Despite size of room, only standard double bed - room for something larger. Luckily it was cold outside because aircon was next to useless. Generally hotel public rooms etc need a refurb
The hotel was in the center of Toulouse which made sight seeing a dream. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who went out there way to make the stay a memorable one. The hotel was very clean and evrything worked! It is difficult to think of anything which was obviously wrong with the hotel. If anything it was the city that let the hotel down. Toulouse was like a lady who had fallen on hard times. She needed a new dress and a hair do.
Very comfortable bed with good pillows. Excellent bathroom with good shower. Very central location
welcoming, smiling, attentive, efficient staff; comfortable; well-situated
Friendly staff and good ambiance.
The hotel location was excellent, being close to a large amount of restaurants and shops, made exploring easy and enjoyable. The welcome at reception was poor and unfriendly. The corridors leading to the rooms were dark and dingy.
the location and the factwe didn't had to move out before 3pm the day of our departure the breakfast ( to expensive)
Convenience for the opera and for the Capitole
the design
Location very central, room was excellent, staff friendly n/A
nicely appointed rooms, great design, excellent location , good staff room too small
the rooms were very comfortable and clean. the location was excellent too there was not the option of food and the bar was hugely over priced. as a result we did not stay in the bar, we ate out every night
location and cleanliness There was nowhere to put toiletries around the sink area or the bathroom
location was excellent. Bed was exceptionnally comfortable. Internet in the room was free. Apples on the pillow are much better than chocolate.
Rooms and location
good location value for money no
The restaurant was very good. The staff were excellent and spoke very good English. Offered us directions and a map for our onward journey Public areas of the hotel were in much better "repair" than the rooms and corridors. Everything was clean - but "well worn" - could do with an upgrade on bed linen, carpets etc
Stayed in an executive room (which had a balcony and luxury coffee maker). Very quiet and comfortable. Not really in the centre of Toulouse. We walked out quite a way in the evening and didn't get near to it. If you stay there for a couple of days I expect you wouldn't mind the walk but for an evening just too far.
The staff were friendly, polite & helpful. This makes a great difference. Although the food was good, the menue was disapointing. In particular, (in Toulouse) I would have liked to have seen regional dishes offered.
Location, Hotel general facilities Room was very industrial,minimum and cheap equipment
The staff very friendly and helpful, the pool and about 20 min walk to Capital square
Nice comfortable room, nearby secure parking, friendly staff.
Very good customer service and the Hotel is just a short walk to the city centre. The pool was a bonus and well utilised.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Location of the hotel and parking facilities are excellent; especially close to the conference center. Rooms not only have a bath, but a dedicated shower too which is great when you are a shower person. Minor nag: rooms did not have much cupboard space for clothing.
Restaurant is OK and personell was serviceminded The personell at reception was extremely ignorant on local services and restaurants and car renting possibilities
All the staff were very accommodating and every request was answered swiftly and to a high standard. The toilet room in Room 35 was very small.
accessable location. friendly staff, all helped to make our stay worth while. , thanks
Comfortable hotel, easy access for city centre. Had all the faciliries we needed.
the staff were excellant but the hotel was in a questionable location this hotel is on a very noisey street
Location is very good. Free wifi and breakfest.
Staff were helpful, breakfast was reasonable and for what we paid it was OK. I had problems in connecting to the internet and that was important for me. I also found the room small.
There was a bed which I was in dire need of by the time I got back to the room.
We liked out room although it did not have any view as such; it was great having access to an English TV channel in the evenings and a mini fridge in our room; the lobby was lovely and the staff really helpful, friendly and really made us feel welcome. The lobby was lovely and
Coffee and tea supplied free on request.Great room and location great staff. n/a
friendly staff near centre of town
All staff were friendly and nothing to much trouble, Hotel atmosphere was relaxing and quite
It was a welcomed experience to have staff that spoke English. And though some didn't speak it great, they all actually tried which was nice. The hotel is set slightly back from the street in a tiny garden the front and it was only a 7-10 to the capital square and other places like Wilson Square. The staff were helpful and courteous. The room was tidy and a decent size. I enjoyed my staff and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.Free wifi was great. Didn't have any problems with the hotel, but maybe bfast could have been cheaper.
Good value, unique style
Only stayed overnight but the room was very comfortable.Breakfast appeared too expensive so did not bother. The lift was not working
good location but reserve a parking garage if you travel by car. Evocative decoration regarding the former airline Aeropostal. The buffet breakfast was limited.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Good central location, but tucked away in quiet courtyard.
great decor and friendly staff. Within walking distance of railway station and resturants etc. We would definitely stay there again.
good position - quiet- car parking poor provision of pillows and toiletries. Breakfast adequate but would have been improved by fresh tea and coffee
Good location and clean hotel
Good location, walking distance to the city center and other faciltities Staff friendly and helpful and spoke English Very limited parking, small room
It was warm, cosy and charming, I`ll definitely be back!
Marie was fantastic in answering all my questions. The hotel is very charmous Car parking - I have been in hotel were the hotel has an agreement with the car parking so the final charge is less
We liked the atmosphere produced by the welcome of the staff, the decoration, the location (so close to the centre of the city), the view and the simple comfort of the room itself The bistro opposite is frequented by the young generation, who are not prone to going to bed early and on hot night with windows open they tend to keep one awake until closing time at 0200 hrs. Parking is naturally at a premium and a bit of a walk away.
Clean, comfortable rooms, very helpful staff. Great location and was quiet even though on a main street. Had the best meal of our trip in their restaurant.
The hotel was very comfortable and stylish.
The location was great with rooms overlooking the garonne and just above a great brasserie. not really
Quiet room, very helpful staff, excellent breakfast
Great location on river & friendly helpful staff bathtub/shower challenging for older person
Therre too short a time to appreciate
When my husband was ill the receptionist was extremely helpful, contacting a doctor etc and allowing us to stay in our room late on the day we were leaving. The hotel is difficult to get to because of the narrow streets and one-way system in Toulouse.
Central location, aspect overlooking river, staff responsive when asked. safety a concern, eg no safety features to bath - no hand rail or anti slip mat/surface, poor corridor/stair lighting and access to breakfast room. Difficult for guests with less mobility. Communication to guests could be more proactive - one has to find out, rather than have services offered.
The location was great. Very close to the city center and close to the river. The room was spacious, clean, and had very nice style. The shower was handheld and connected to the bathtub faucet. Its hose was not long enough to use standing up. There also was no shower curtain. I stayed in another hotel in Toulouse with a similar arrangement, so maybe it is just local custom not to shower standing.
The location, its right in the center. The rooms looking out on the small street are extremely noisy at night because of all the bars in the area. Make sure you ask for a superior room, they are a bit more expensive (eventhough they are the same size as the standard rooms) but look out on a courtyard/parking and are quiet.
Very nice and generous breakfast. Free wifi access.
Breakfast is very good for price, and every room has a coffee machine (pretty good) and an excelent shower with steam. Good situation, centrical and very near of Saint Sernin, and even the danger of staying at the centre of a city, the security it's good, because the frontdesk man took us a photo when we left the hotel at night. When I made my reservation, Booking gave me the option to choose a smoking room, but at the hotel all rooms are no smoking.
The comfort and standard of the rooms, and the thorough helpfulness of the staff.
Clean, no nonsense hotel. Small room facing the busterminal, but two layers of windows made the sound stay out. The parking tickets that hotel offer you cheaper is only valid for 24 hours - which they forgot to tell. So we couldn't exit the parking after 2 days ... and ended up spending more in total than if we would have used only either the hotel or the regular parking prices.
Helpful staff
central location Noisy next to bus station and some maintenance or building work in hotel. Gloomy shabby interiors and carpets. Chicken nuggets for breakfast!! in France!! Booked for 4 nights. Checked out after two.
fantastic shower air conditioning broken - fan worked so noisy but hot!
Our first assigned room was inadequate: too small, tv did not work, coffee machine did not work, the air conditioning did not work well.... We were switched for the second night to a much nicer room, and accoridng to listed price not much more than we had paid through our booking. Hotel staff was helpful and we appreciated this change, but wondered why we did not get a decent room the first night. We stay in comoft Hotels, and that room (123) does not come up to standard. A nice breakfast buffet spread and staff are friendly. See above for our comments. I would recommend this hotel with reservations about getting a decent room to begin with.
Central position not far from station and very near the sights and metro yet very quiet room comfortable bed
The location was excellent, right downtown, across from the bus terminal, and within walking distance of the train station. The staff were multilingual and helpful. The room was quiet, clean and had everything we needed. The room was warmer than we like for sleeping, and one staff member directed us to the wrong bus stop to catch the airport bus.
locality ease to get to and from airport cleanliness nowhere to sit and have coffee beer or a snack dining room very basic not enough variety fo breakfast and quite expensive for the breakfast

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) addresses coverage for bariatric surgery in section 100.1 of the Medicare National Coverage Determinations (NCD) Manual. The NCD issued in February of 2006 identified certain bariatric surgery procedures that were covered if certain criteria were met. It also established a requirement that identified bariatric surgery procedures were only covered when furnished at facilities that were certified by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) or by the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons (currently American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons (ASMBS)).
CMS has received a formal request from Dr. John Birkmeyer for a reconsideration of the facility certification requirement part of the NCD. Questions have been raised about the facility certification requirement in the NCD and whether facility certification results in improved outcomes of bariatric surgery in Medicare beneficiaries. CMS is opening this national coverage analysis to review the available evidence on this issue.

T-Birds Ink Chaffeys Nibo To NLI
By SUU Strategic Communication
Related Links
CEDAR CITY, Utah, April 16 – Southern Utah University's men's basketball program received a commitment from one player Wednesday, the first day of the spring National Letter of Intent signing period, SUU Coach Nick Robinson has announced. Jeff Nibo, a wing from Chaffey College in California has committed to play for the Thunderbirds next season.
"We are excited to welcome Jeff as the newest member of the Thunderbirds," Robinson said. "He comes from a great family, has been developed by coach Jeff Kline at the highest level of the CCCAA, and brings needed experience to our program."
Nibo, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound wing from Inglewood, Calif., helped lead Coach Jeff Kline's squad to a 28-6 record this past season – including a 10-2 mark in Foothill Conference play – when the Panthers qualified for the California Community College Athletic Association playoffs, advanced to the CCCAA final four and finished the season with a No. 5 ranking. Overall, he averaged 11.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game while shooting at a 40 percent clip from the field and 72.7 percent from the free throw line. Nibo stepped it up in conference play, where he averaged 15.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game to earn all-Foothill Conference honors this past season. A graduate of Wilson High School in Hacienda Heights, Calif., Nibo – who was also an all-tournament selection after leading the Panthers to the championship of the Don Johnson Holiday Tournament –spent one season at Mt. San Antonio College prior to transferring to Chaffey College.
"I think I'll bring leadership, hard work and dedication to the team and I'm going to be there ready to play," Nibo said. "I enjoyed my visit there, I liked the campus very much and liked the players I met.
"I was impressed by the coaching staff, Coach Chad Bell and Coach Nick Robinson, who recruited me," he added. "I felt they were honest with me about what they were going to expect from me and what was going on with the program."
"Jeff Nibo is a long, agile, athletic, skilled lefty combo guard," Coach Kline said. "He can knock down the three and break you down off the dribble. Southern Utah got a player who can take them to new heights."
Coach Robinson noted that the Thunderbirds anticipate additional signees as the signing period progresses.

Last week I went to a software startup pre-release party in the SOMA district of San Francisco. It was a hot ticket -- maybe 250 people in attendance, an open bar, and a bouncer to turn away those who lacked the proper QR code.
The startup's CEO strutted across the stage in a manner eerily similar to the posturing I witnessed during the dot-com boom 15 years ago. Instinctively, having lived through the endless parties and subsequent bust that made me consider leaving the Bay Area forever, I found this flashback alarming. It wasn't the first time I'd had this feeling. For example, the opening of GitHub's new SOMA digs, complete with a full-scale replica of the Oval Office and a ribbon cutting by San Francisco mayor Ed Lee, also gave me the chills.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Tech boom! The war for top developer talent | 7 simple rules for hiring great developers | The lowdown on code academies | For quick, smart takes on the news you'll be talking about, check out InfoWorld TechBrief -- subscribe today. ]
For a reality check, I turned to PricewaterhouseCoopers' MoneyTree and discovered that in 1999 VCs invested $10.3 billion in software ... and in 2013, nearly $11 billion. Gulp. Now, adjust those 1999 dollars for inflation and they'd be worth more than $14 billion today -- plus, 1999 also saw many more billions pour into other categories related to the dot-com boom, such as "media and entertainment" and "consumer products and services." So we're not at '99 levels yet, just headed there: 2013's $11 billion represented a whopping 28 percent rise from the $8.6 billion invested in software by VCs in 2012.
How much should we worry about bubble trouble? Let's break it down, because there are important distinctions to be made between then and now.
Business models
Remember "the new economy"? Even now, I get a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach remembering that phrase. The nimbleness of the Web was going to change everything; the Nasdaq (like housing values years later) was never going to go down. Just stick "dot com" on the end of something and it would bury its brick-and-mortar analog. Meanwhile, investment bankers were pumping and dumping dot-coms at a furious rate.
It's completely different now, beginning with the obvious: Nobody invests big money in "websites." In tech, software startups are where the action is, the bulk of those being cloud or mobile or open source software plays (sometimes all three). There are exceptions, but business plans are much more serious and road maps to profitability much more detailed. Whether the revenue goals for these new companies are realistic is another question, but hey, that's why venture capital is risky business.
Turning to enterprise
The shift in VC funding to enterprise has been dramatic. According to the research firm CBInsights, in 2011, based on the top 50 deals of the year, less than a third of VC money went to enterprise and the rest to consumer; a mere two years later, in 2013, the reverse was true.
This does not seem to be shotgun investment, at least compared to the days of dot-com excess. You have to give credit to the average enterprise startup for focusing on an actual business problem -- or, in many cases, a technology problem. Last year, for example, I attended an Andreessen Horowitz event featuring a panel of D-to-D (developer-to-developer) CEOs, all of whom delivered SaaS solutions to programmers.
Both SaaS and open source offer the opportunity to sneak into the enterprise under the radar of those who hold the IT purse strings. In some cases these offerings add entirely new functionality; in others, they replace licensed software with less costly and/or superior solutions. But can SaaS or open source ever hope to extract the fat revenue streams savored by licensed enterprise software vendors such as Oracle or Microsoft? Even at scale, it's hard to imagine, despite the recent valuation of the open source NoSQL vendor MongoDB at $1.2 billion.

I'm running into an odd issue trying to install office 3.1 from its repos. I can download and install the debs manually but that makes cleanup and removal tricky to say the least down the road (all sorts of dependencies and stuff go in there, i removed from one install to find it fatter than prior).
Anyway, in my attempts to keep all installed software managed, up to date, etc i tried following the guide @ Upgrade To Open Office 3.1 in Ubuntu (Jaunty, Intrepid,Hardy) | Ubuntu Manual only to find that using the Intrepid repo openoffice simply doesn't show up. Using hardy repos it shows up in synaptic, but requires all sorts of dependencies that aren't going to be installed, and i'm not about to start installing things from an older base OS to satisfy its needs.
So the question is, why doesn't oofice show up from the intrepid repository? I've commented out the base BT4 repo to test and a search for openoffice reveals nothing. Anyone do this through aptitude or am i stuck going the manual method outlined in the newbies section post on installing oofice 3.1.1?

Whatever else, director David O. Russell and his star Bradley Cooper are on the same page when it comes to their new film, "Silver Linings Playbook," which opens Friday.
In the film, based on a 2008 novel by Matthew Quick, Cooper plays Pat Solitano Jr., a former Philadelphia schoolteacher who has just finished a mandatory eight-month stay in a mental institution after having beaten up his wife's lover. Pat, who has been diagnosed as bipolar, is returning to live in the home of his parents, played by Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver ("Animal Kingdom"). Mom is a homemaker and Dad, since being laid off, a successful bookmaker.
Pat develops a precarious relationship with Tiffany (played by Jennifer Lawrence), the widow of a cop who has expressed her grief by sleeping with everyone in her office and getting fired for it. And all of the characters, including Pat's therapist, are obsessed Philadelphia Eagles fans.
Despite dealing with psychiatric illness and dysfunction, the film is often funny, romantic and in its way a celebration of family.
If difficult to neatly sum up, "Silver Linings Playbook" nevertheless won the audience prize at the recent Toronto International Film Festival, and the buzz is that it will be a contender in a number of categories this awards season. Known for its successful Oscar campaigns, the Weinstein Co. is opening the film in a few markets on Friday - Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco, among them - and expanding to some 2,000 theaters on Wednesday.
Russell, 54, whose last film, "The Fighter," had seven Oscar nominations (Christian Bale and Melissa Leo won supporting acting trophies), was given the novel of "Silver Linings Playbook" when it was still in galleys by the late filmmaker Sydney Pollack.
"It was a story that I related to very strongly because my older son (who has a small role in the film) dealt with many of these matters himself," Russell says.
The director actually wrote the "Silver Linings Playbook" script before "The Fighter," but the project had trouble getting off the ground.
However, the success of his boxing film, which also dealt with family dynamics, allowed Russell to return to "Silver Linings," which involves Italian-American football lovers around Philly.
Russell liked the idea of casting the amiable Cooper, who is known for his roles in the "Hangover" movies and action films, as the sometimes grating Pat. The character's unfiltered directness is unnerving at times but still can elicit laughs.
"I love the emotional rawness of Frank Capra and Martin Scorsese," says the director, who like his star has an Italian-American mother. "And I love the warmth that Capra gets to - but he also disturbed people with Jimmy Stewart as much as he warmed them. He freaked people out with Jimmy Stewart."
Russell thinks Cooper can reintroduce himself to movie audiences with the role of Pat, who can go flying off the handle with a few notes of Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour," the song played at his wedding.
The actor, 37, acknowledges that Pat is a bit of a departure for him.
"Pat doesn't conform to the social norms of how one human being speaks to another," Cooper notes. "He says what he feels. There's not much passive-aggressiveness. It's all there."
A Philadelphia native, Cooper knew De Niro from the 2011 thriller "Limitless," in which they played adversaries. In "Silver Linings Playbook," however, it was a different vibe - a complicated father-son relationship.
"It was a real blessing coming in this film knowing that I was going to play Bob's son because I love him," Cooper says. "So it was very easy for me to say the word dad and have it resonate within my body as I said it and make myself believe it. It helped me anchor the character in the same way it was to have a Philadelphia Eagles jersey on."
Cooper is a huge Eagles fan; one of the last things he and his father, who died in 2011, did together was attend an Eagles playoff game. "The film was very personal for me," he says.
Russell says over the years he and De Niro had connected about their own sons and he tried to tailor the script to the actor's rhythms.
"You're respectful and you let him do his thing," says Russell about the Oscar-winning actor. "You ask him if he wants a discussion. That's how I do it. I said, `You want to talk about this?' And sometimes he said yes and sometimes he said no."
For the role of the fiery Tiffany, Russell says Lawrence wasn't on his radar initially.
"We had three strong choices. A lot of actresses wanted to play this role, and we didn't know what her chops were. We thought she was too young," says the director about Lawrence, 22. But after her audition, via Skype, he was convinced.
"She can have an ageless quality to her, and she can seem much older than she is," says Russell. "And in some ways she is older than she is in spite of herself. Her age became a non-issue. She's a force of nature and that was that. She's a very special actor."
Cooper didn't know a lot about Lawrence before she was cast, but they clicked when they first talked on the phone. A short time later he was at a Philadelphia dance studio "with this woman's hands underneath my sweaty armpits learning this heavily choreographed dance routine ... . So it was a baptism by fire in terms of our working relationship."
The two then shot their next film together, the indie drama "Serena." Cooper is also going to do Russell's untitled next film, about the 1970s FBI Abscam sting operation, with Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner.
Asked if either of them have their own playbook for life, Russell answers, "I do for sure," and starts chuckling.
"My son taught me that ... otherwise I probably would've never been drawn to `Silver Linings Playbook,"' he says. "But people like my oldest son and a lot of people showed me that you can't afford to have a negative attitude. It can lead to all sorts of ..."
"... destruction," adds Cooper.
"Destruction," Russell agrees.

text: Jeff Flowers on August 7, 2013 0 Comments It's that time of year again. The pools are starting to close down. The neighbors are all getting back from their family vacations. The sun doesn't seem to be as intense as it was a few weeks back. Unfortunately, this all means one thing — summer is coming to an end… and a new school year is about to start. For the early school years, stocking up for back-to-school was pretty simple. All you had to do was walk down the school aisle at your local grocery store, picking out the most basic supplies. If you were lucky, you might even get a new backpack. But leaving for college is a little bit different, especially that first year. You still need those basic school supplies, but you also need a few basic appliances to help you get by in the dorm. While you're busy registering for classes, don't forget about these essential back-to-school appliances for your dorm room. 1. Mini Fridge & Compact Refrigerator The obvious appliance that every dorm needs is the mini fridge. Every college student needs one of these. Even if you're on a meal plan and don't plan on preparing your own meals in your room, you need a dependable mini fridge just to keep your drinks and snacks cool. Compact refrigerators usually consist of 1 to 2.5 cubic feet of space. They are small enough to put in a corner or underneath your desk, but large enough to hold your basic foods and drinks. If your school allows it, you should look into getting a mid-size refrigerator. These are not only small enough for a dorm atmosphere, but usually have more cubic feet of space and a separate freezer compartment for your frozen foods. For the price and the features, this will be your best value. The Best Mini Fridges for Dorms: EdgeStar 1.1 Cu. Ft. Convertible Refrigerator or Freezer w/ Lock — Stainless Steel Danby 3.0 Cu. Ft. Energy Star Compact Refrigerator — Black & Steel EdgeStar 3.1 Cu. Ft. Energy Star Fridge &Freezer — Stainless Steel 2. Microwave Having a dependable microwave is another must-have dorm appliance. Sure, your dorm will probably have a microwave in the common area, but most likely, it's going to be an old model that probably doesn't work as effectively as one you bring yourself. Plus, it's likely that somebody will be using it when you need it. Avoid the drama, and bring your own microwave. A small countertop microwave are easy to bring with you and don't take up much space. You'll have the luxury of heating up your leftovers or making a bag of popcorn, all without having to leave the room or wait in line. It's almost a guarantee that any microwave you buy and bring with you, will be better than the one that is in your dorm and used every day by countless amounts of students. Just be sure to check if your dorm allows microwaves beforehand. Some do, and some don't. The Best Microwaves for Dorms: Magic Chef 0.9 Cubic Foot 900 Watt Microwave — Red Avanti 0.9 Cu. Ft. Electronic Microwave with Touchpad — Stainless Steel EdgeStar Energy Star Microwave and Refrigerator Combo Another possible option, is to combine the two most needed dorm appliances into one. A combination refrigerator and microwave may just be the perfect solution for you. This unique combination basically gives you an all-in-one kitchen, without taking up lots of space. Not to mention, if you bundle the two appliances into one, you're going to save a little bit of money. 3. Humidifiers On most college campuses, dormitories usually tend to be hot and dry places to live. Bringing along your own humidifier will not only help keep your room more comfortable to live in. The extra moisture in the air will help you feel a little better by relieving dry, itchy skin, as well as help with any allergy symptoms you may experience. Now that you're living in close quarters to other students, a humidifier may also dramatically reduce your chances of catching other their viruses. Nobody likes being sick, and that's especially true when you have to cram for a big test. Humidifiers are generally pretty quiet, so you won't disturb your roommate. And they're also pretty small, so they won't take up much space. Which is precisely why they rank as one of the best dorm appliances. The Best Humidifiers for Dorms: Guardian Technologies Pureguardian Ultrasonic Table Top Humidifier Vornado Ultrasonic Warm Or Cool Mist Humidifier Germ Guardian 10-Hour Ultrasonic Table Top Humidifier — Blue & White 4. Coffee Machine Whether you have early morning classes or plan on studying late into the night, you're probably going to need to have access to a readily supply of fresh coffee. This is why a reliable coffee maker is an essential for your dorm. Most dorms won't have a coffee machine readily available to you, and if they do, you can bet that it's been there for many years. Or keep it classy with an espresso machine. To eliminate overall waste, we would recommend a single-cup coffee maker, like a Keurig. These are great at brewing just enough for you to make it through that last chapter of your textbook, without having to brew a whole pot that you'll just pour out. The Best Coffee Makers for Dorms: Keurig Mini Plus Brewing System — Red Kalorik Programmable 12 Cup Coffee Maker — Stainless Steel Jura-Capresso 12 Cup Coffee Maker — Stainless Steel 5. Iron Having an iron is another important must-have for the dorm, even though a lot of students will think they won't have a need for one. At some point, you're going to need put on a nice shirt and nobody wants to look like a wrinkled slob. Steam irons are easy to carry around, and small enough to store out of the way. The Best Irons for Dorms: Steamfast Compact Steam Iron Reliable Velocity Vapor Generator Steam Iron — Orange Reliable Digital Velocity Vapor Generator Steam Iron — White Moving away from home and living in a dorm isn't going to be easy for most students, at least not at first. Bringing along these appliances is a great way to make the transition into the dorm easier, so you can concentrate more on your studies. What's your list of must-have dorm appliances? We'd love to hear them in the comments below.

IMO 2 good fights to start the card off.
Doesn't matter what card is on or how much tickets are - there will always be somebody to complain
Personally, I don't really care about the card - UFCs are always a great atmosphere and always enjoyable.
I will be there regardless - no moaning about it from me
There may be a few surprise names on there so all the better

REFEREE with MMA Officials
Because i can go to my local shows and watch top uk talent at less than half the price of the ticket you're slinging, and the fights be just as if not more exciting, the only reason i want a ufc ticket is to see the anderson silva's, jon jones, velasquez, gsps etc.
If people boycott the event can people complain if Dana white and co say the uk simply isn't pulling in the numbers and just cut out the uk market all together?

Wahhabi Intolerance in the 21st Century (COMMENTARY MAGAZINE) Seth Mandel 05/11/12)

In early 2011, along with a handful of other American journalists, I interviewed Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon in Jerusalem. Ayalon pressed the need for recognition of Israel on the part of the Palestinian leadershipbut not in English or Hebrew. Say it in Arabic, to your own children and to your own people, Ayalon had said. The habit of Arab leaders to say one thing in English and another in Arabic has been a hallmark of Palestinian politics perfected by Yasir Arafat, and its long been a sticking point in Israels objection to Palestinian media manipulation.
Say it in Arabic encompasses more than just the Palestinian Authority. American intelligence agencies have been unusually public about their need for Arabic speakers. The language barrier gives Arab leaders unrestrained leeway to say whatever they want, and tracking what these leaders say in Arabic to their home audiences has been an essential part of attempting to hold these leaders accountable. So its encouraging to see a new report from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies spearheaded by FDDs vice president for research (and COMMENTARY contributor) Jonathan Schanzer.
With the understanding that in the age of social media its no longer sufficient just to analyze Arab leaders public speeches and sermons in mind, FDD contracted with the Washington-based technology firm ConStrat to analyze six months worth of Twitter, Facebook, and other social media messages from Saudi clerics in English and Arabic. The result is contained in the in-depth report, written by Schanzer and FDD research associate Steven Miller, Facebook Fatwa: Saudi Clerics, Wahhabi Islam and Social Media. The whole report is worth reading, as is this interview the Jerusalem Post conducted with Schanzer, but the report makes clear there have been both promising and troubling trends:
The tone and tenor of the conversations ConStrat coded was mixed, but was generally marked by an absence of overt militancy. This does not, however, indicate an absence of intolerant or xenophobic positions. According to the data scored with ConStrats proprietary VX software, views that were hostile to America, the West, and non-Muslim or secular cultures represented nearly 52 percent of the English data, while in Arabic they represented 75 percent .
Saudi Arabias success in reducing militant online content is a positive sign that the Saudi government can, when sufficiently motivated, temper the radicalism that percolates in the kingdom. This is also a sign that when the U.S. properly applies pressure, it can have a noticeable impact.
However, the kingdoms recent attempts to convince the West that it is promoting religious tolerance and embracing change do not resonate with the content mined during this study.
As Schanzer told the Post, thats not a lot of violence, but its an overwhelming amount of intolerance and misogyny. And it explains why Ayalons appeal to say it in Arabic remains good advice for proponents of true peace and reform in the Arab world.

A NEW comedy drama directed by Danny Boyle hits screens next week.
Described as a fast-paced and razor-sharp cop show without detectives, Babylon is written by Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong — creators of award-winning shows such as Peep Show and Fresh Meat.
The comedy drama, which stars Brit Marling and James Nesbitt, sees London's police force in need of a public image revamp and chief constable Richard Miller has found just the woman to do it.
Liz Garvey is an American visionary from the world of new media and parachuted in to revolutionise the force's PR department.
In an age of rolling news, smartphones and an information-hungry public, Liz preaches transparency and honesty.
Oscar-winning director Danny, who comes from Radcliffe and attended Thornleigh School, said: "Television has changed so much since I last worked there on Inspector Morse.
"The confidence and ambition of writers writing for the medium is palpable, and is electrifying audiences around the world.
"In Jesse and Sam, Britain has two of the world's finest, and funniest writers.
"Their take on the world's oldest police force as it navigates the new world of social media and instant modern communication was irresistible.
"And all of it without a detective in sight. In turn, of course, this quality of writing helps attract the finest actors.
"Their characters, 16 of them, are kept in the air throughout. That's a wonderful way to look at the spread of humanity under phenomenal pressure in an essential public service."
A feature length episode of the show will be screened next Sunday, February 9, and filming for a six-part series will start from spring, planned to be on air later this year.
Brit, who plays Liz, said: "Danny and I spoke on the phone and I loved how he saw the story developing, and the questions he wanted to ask about how technology and the transparency it creates is changing all of our lives.
"How does law enforcement change when a criminal is using Twitter or Instagram? What's the future of the public's involvement in law enforcement as a result?
"And how do you create a career girl that isn't a typical ball-buster but is multi-faceted? All awesome things to explore."
Danny and executive producer Robert Jones approached the writers Sam and Jesse with the idea of doing a show about a modern police force.
When asked what it was like working with Danny, Jesse said: "Really good. He is just a very nice and decent man and that radiates out throughout the show, from the way he treats people in audition, to the inclusive feeling around the rehearsal process, which he is very protective of."
Babylon is on Channel 4 on Sunday, February 9, at 9pm.

When to stop breastfeeding
I have a 22 months old daughter. I am still breastfeeding my daughter until now, and I plan to continue until she is 2 years old. When is the best time to stop breastfeeding and how to do it? Because she is very addicted with my breast, she even can't sleep before I breastfeeding her.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Adinda,
Congratulations on breastfeeding for 22 months! Breastfeeding a toddler is a wonderful bonding experience and has great benefits for your daughter.
I had one baby that breastfed until about 3 years of age, and three babies that breastfed until 2 1/2 years of age. They all self weaned, which means that they became distracted with other things as they got older, and would forget about a feeding.
My babies always enjoyed breastfeeding before going to sleep, so the first feedings to go were the ones in between naps and at night. The last feedings to go were the ones before going down for a nap, going down at night, and waking up in the morning. Those are all precious times to cuddle and don't interfere with mum's "me" time. I would keep those as long as baby wants.
As long as you are offering nutritious food for baby (high quality fats, protein, fruits and vegetables, with just a little carbohydrates) your baby should be able to fill up on solids without needing breast milk as her main food.
Here's a video showing you a very nutritious way to get fruits and vegetables into your baby's diet. Babies and toddlers LOVE green smoothies!

Well done Adinda - you should feel proud that you are giving your daughter the very best in your breastmilk.
Children get huge nutritional, developmental, social and emotional advantages from breastmilk in the first and second year of life and beyond. One study (by Dewey in 2001) found that in the second year of life 448 ml of breastmilk gives a toddler:
75% of vitamin A requirements
36% of calcium requirements
29% of energy requirements
43% of protein requirements
76% of folate requirements
94% of vitamin B12 requirements
60% of vitamin C requirements
You mention in your other post that I have replied to that your daughter does not always swallow her food. Breastfeeding her means you can be happy that she is getting many nutrients from her milk.
You also mention the link between breastfeeding and sleep for your daughter. This is very common and normal. However, breastfeeding is a relationship between mum and baby and if the sleep association with breastmilk is something that you are no longer happy with then I can recommend the No Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley. Here is an excerpt from this book.
Pantley writes about a technique where you feed your baby until she is nearly asleep and then unlatch her and wait up to 10 seconds to see if she settles if she doesn't you give her the breast again and repeat. The aim is to gradually and gently get her to stop actually falling asleep at the breast until she is eventually happy with just being cuddled to sleep/ put down to sleep. I would really recommend this book in light of what you describe.
Thinking of you,

Wow! That's your lucky, my son only breastfeed around 1 month. I have to stop breastfeeding him because he had allergy. Then I consulted the doctor what happen, then I told the doctor that I drink coffee and whenever I eat chocolates because sometimes i have a craving I cannot resist. So, that's the cause of his allergy. I drink coffee because I have to stay awake in the morning because, you know I'm a single mum taking care of my bub alone. Thank goodness I'm done with that

Dear Loann,
I'm sorry to hear you had difficulties breastfeeding your son. The early days can be very difficult.
It is actually fine to drink caffeine and eat chocolate when breastfeeding; although it is wise to eat and drink these in moderation. There are no foods that breastfeeding mums should absolutely ignore.
Allergies to something in the mum's diet (by a breastfed baby) are very rare. Signs of this would be excessive vomiting and a rash as well as colic. It is most likely when there is a family history of allergies. The baby may also have mucous or blood in his poo. But hardly any breastfeeding mums will see these as it is, as I say, extremely rare.
The most likely food allergy in breastfed babies (although this is still obviously rare) is to cow's milk. Mum can then eliminate this from her diet and, in most cases, successfully continue with breastfeeding.
I really hope your doctor didn't simply say because you ate chocolates and coffee you could not breastfeed as this is not the case. Unfortunately not all health professionals are well-trained in the latest breastfeeding knowledge.
For any new breastfeeding mums reading this thread; if you have any problems we would highly recommend you consult a lactation consultant who is extremely well-trained in everything concerning breastfeeding.
That must have been so hard as a single mum with a new baby Loann - you should feel proud of the breastmilk you gave your son in the first month.
Warm wishes,

I went to see Manzoni,' he says, 'in his house some six or eight miles from Milan in 1838.
The history of "The Manzoni Requiem" is of more than ordinary interest.
He remembered the first time that her eyes had met his at the Manzoni in Milan four years ago.
This looks as though Gozzi had reason to believe that Mme. Manzoni would write her autobiography.
Monti met the young Manzoni when he was on a visit to the college, and took an interest in him.
As the venerated name of Manzoni has fallen from my pen, I shall describe the visit that he made to my studio.
Manzoni informed me that I was speaking to her excellency, Madame Querini.
Manzoni lived to see all his hopes fulfilled, and died two years after the fall of the temporal power, in 1873.
As his compatriot, Manzoni, said of him, "Cavour has all the prudence and all the imprudence of the true statesman."
The day before going to the seminary, I had taken care to entrust all my papers to Madame Manzoni.
