Antonio Conner & Robert Nkemdiche
On his recruitment:
"I'm still kind of undecided right now. But, you know, Ole Miss is leading, and then LSU's under that and Florida's under that. I'm kind of undecided right now."
On Ole Miss:
"Ole Miss is a great school on the rise. I saw on ESPN Nick Saban went 7-6 in his first year. Coach Freeze may be able to do the same thing after this bowl win. They'd be 7-6. He's doing a great job, man. They're scoring a lot. They lost a couple of games by one touchdown. They could have been an 8-4 team. Things happen. I don't like people taking away from them, 'cause they're doing great things, too."
On analysts predicting Nkemdiche to Ole Miss only because of his brother, Denzel:
"It bugs me. I don't matter. I'm always the bigger man about things like that. He don't really care. He couldn't care less what the media says, what people think."
Was Ole Miss' loss to Texas A&M a turning point?
"It was. My brother, when he really loves something, when he really has a feel for something, he puts his heart into it. I saw him putting his heart into it. I want to come help him do great things (at Ole Miss).
"I was thinking, 'I can come in here and do great things, man.' For real."
On recruiting fellow five-star Antonio Conner:
"We always be talking about it. That's my dog. He's real cool. We have a little something in the bag, but we're not saying too much right now. We talk about recruiting, though."
Nkemdiche and Conner a package deal?
"It'd be something we consider."
Conner said earlier this week he's favoring Alabama?
"Nah. He ain't going away from Ole Miss."
Did you start recruiting him to Ole Miss, or did he start recruiting you to Ole Miss?
"He started getting me first."
Why say Alabama is leading?
"He's a fool. He's funny. He was joking."

When I read that I actually wondered why they bothered to put it in the story…as if somebody would accidentally spread superglue to a toilet seat? Of course it was done on purpose. The real question is, by whom?

So what if one man & his team decided to up the ante?! And suddenly the govt & many more are here to 'define' democracy like they were ever serious of understanding the core of it! Sixty four years of Independence & the average citizen still feels he is being over-ruled by a bunch of no-show idiots looting him & his country of billions. So what is it with this rage amongst the people, a frenzy one good old man managed to ignite. Am sorry, did anyone say this isn't the way to go to have your voice heard in a democratic system? That this is some kinda blackmailing! Am pretty much sure 'patience' does fade out, over a decade or two & yet you don't see stricter laws to end this menace while the scams & money laundering grow larger than the British raj managed to scoop in their century long stint in this country. The rage in the minds are beyond 2G & CWG, it is as small & specific to a pothole in the road to lack of basic amenities and much more. People are FED UP! The PEOPLE on the whole might not know/understand the implications of the Jan Lokpal Bill, but they are here for a bigger cause which being stricter laws & their implementation on the corrupt ranging from the clerk at a govt office to the highest authorities running the show. We the PEOPLE don't know who can we trust anymore? The ministers, the judiciary, even sections in the armed forces are being charged with corruption! Either we rise now or see the society's miserable fall against the corrupt in years to come. Not supporting Anna Hazare, his method, idealogy doesn't make one pro-corrupt. But joining this movement, raising your voice demanding a corrupt free system is bloody well your duty then a right! It is now or never, voice your rights to curb the menace & do your duty by saying NO to paying bribe! CHANGE has to happen from the society first, to see it happen on the system this society creates. SAAKU! Enough...

What's in a "NAME"?
So.. What if your name is Khan?! The social paranoia about a Muslim is always a terrorist, plagues societies around the world! So how exactly does a "simple" & "Real" Muslim face the consequences & fight his way through this? Well, MNIK is all about it is well known fact but how is it narrated to the audience is very crucial! The plot is well laid out, but lacks the pull & hold a movie has to have on its audience! Nevertheless, it ain't that "bad" either! Slow, sensitive, shaky (at places) the movie just goes on! It is finally the character Rizvan Khan (SRK) who manages to keep you glued! I am indeed a huge fan of SRK, but am more realistic! When he has done bad work, I've equally hated him for that! When I 1st heard this character has some kind of a "mental disorder", I was really wondering will this guy really pull it off well?! But now after having seen his performance, my humble salute to him! He is "in the character", he is all over it!!! Words aren't enough to applaud his performance! He deserves a round of applause people! Coming to Mandira (Kajol), I couldn't find anything "special" but she has done justice to the role too. The other characters though small, are well woven in the story! Each NAME (character) has something to convey! It is a package deal & surely there's a lot each one has something to take back along. Worth a watch once for sure & worth giving a thought about the message. I give the movie an overall of 3.5/5 & 5/5 to Rizvan Khan!

Tech Support - The soul inside me...
My interest in computers & all that goes into it etc etc, dates back to my childhood days and am glad I could get a hold of it quite well by now! Am not really the "geek" kinda guy roaming around but my "thirst" for gadgets is ever growing. So, all this years I have always looked at opportunities where I could "learn" more & more about computers, which today has made the "Tech Support" in your friendly neighborhood! Am not all that 101% knowledgeable or anything but still am the one roaming around help near & dear ones with their "computer issues" and this just seems to be keeping me "the happening guy" in the circuit for some time to come. Different PC's different issues, each a challenge at times, it is always a gruesome job which tests your patience than your skills! From the past two weeks I have spent good time on close to 4 PC's, and it has been one hellava work experience! I wanna learn "more" now! Whether it is Windows or Linux, I just wanna learn it all... A close friend of mine actually suggested me that I should take up this seriously as "business"!!! Business??? C'mon am the "friendly neighborhood" guy here... Just Happy to Help! I just wanna thank all those people who trust me even more than their own comp :P I actually wanna go ahead & give a gist of my experiences, but guess thats not important! It had been hell long since I "blogged" & this "thing" "happening" in my life often, made me "write" about it!

Politico's go "Economy"
Three months since taking to office, the Union External Affairs Minister & his better half, the MoS were "requested" to vacate their stint of "lodging" at five star hotels at the Tax payers cost! And since ever, the entire bunch of seem to have taken the que from their colleague, the MoFin after his statement asking his fellow people to "save" money & travel "economy"!!! Suprisingly our politico's seem to have finally realised the value of the tax payer's sweat & hard work! Is this another just another political reality show or do they really care about taking this country forward?? Not to forget their "buddies", who obviously started making statements in the media against the government's drive to save some money, calling it a "drama". As much as a cliche it is, they don't portray themselves any better as against the "active" souls running the government. When are these honchos really "growing" up & worry about bigger things than such petty issues?! If a minister wants to travel Business class or even the First class, let he/she do so at his/her additional personal expenditure upon the allowance he/she is eligible for! Basically, something has to be making "news" in our system & sustain the limelight on the people running the nation. It is time, even the media shifted focused on issues plaguing the citizens than getting higher TRPs!!

The Greatest Ever
It has been sometime since I made time out to come out & post some interesting stuff. I just couldn't figure out a topic to write on! But finally (though late) I feel like writing about this man, highly inspiring, cool headed & highly determined etc etc. I really can't find enough superlatives to describe him! French Open, the one grand slam which till now seemed this man was "banned" from winning ever, with the reigning clay king Rafa. 2009 turned the tables when the "king" fell to a rookie (kind of) in the initial rounds, somewhat making way for the Master to realise his dream win. But the run was never easy for Fed-ex as he almost "passed through the flames & rose from the ashes" to claim his 14th Grand Slam title, on par with Sampras's world record. People (mostly critics, incl. Rafa fans) started "claiming" the win was purely a "white wash" after Rafa's exit! Well, I'd say one thing to all 'em, "Nice try, covering up another mans' loss". The best of the compliments was this "In an era of specialists, you're either a clay court specialist or you're a grass court specialist or you're a hard court specialist... Or you're a Roger Federer" by Jimmy Connors. I just couldn't stop admiring this a whole day! Next up Wimbledon & many more to come, & I can only imagine how great it would be to see him win many more titles & set a new benchmark in the history of tennis. Hats off this living legend.

Change-How to accept it?
Reading the book "Who Moved My Cheese?" was far more than inspirational journey. My dad gave this book to read, and I will always be thankful for it. Perfect timing to have come across this book, as I was some one looking to build up some positive energy from inside of me. Its a nice little story about how one adapts to "changes" in life, whether you like it or not. It can be gisted out in four simple points:
- Anticipate change.
- Adapt to change quickly.
- Enjoy change.
- Be ready to change quickly, again and again.
The book is very realistic & simple in its approach, which makes it a phenomenal piece of work. Its a roadmap for us to use as we deal with our own individual circumstances around change. Am sure many of us have read lots of "inspirational" works, but this one stands out. It only inspired me to go for the "change" & get the "New Cheese" am looking for. Now am more confident & positive about what I do. Its a must read for all. Do make it a point to get hold of this & see what a difference it will make.

Chaput Challenges CCU Students Friday, March 28, 2008 at 1:30 PM The campus chapel service at Colorado Christian University on Thursday, March 13, was anything but routine. Students, faculty, and visitors crowded into the CCU Event Center to hear Archbishop Charles J. Chaput challenge them to step up and make a difference early in their lives. The archbishop's visit was part of a University commitment to bring scholarly dialogue to chapels and other venues on campus. The archbishop was greeted warmly by all attending, and throughout his talk he held everyone's quiet attention. His presence on campus marked the first time the archbishop had visited CCU, but his grace and warmth made him appear to be a regular part of the academic community.Often referred to as the "plain-spoke archbishop," Chaput presented no different an image while speaking at the crowded CCU chapel. His discourse outlined the many challenges within society and the fact that we are all responsible for stepping forward and making a difference. When asked how to confront some of the more frequent issues of immorality and non-Christian worldviews, he encouraged students not to hesitate and to speak with commitment; but poignantly he added, "First be sure that you speak to others with love in your heart for them." After chapel concluded, students asked the archbishop many questions on how to he felt they could best be used in today's times of so many challenging issues to Christianity.CCU President and former U. S. Senator Bill Armstrong has been aggressively bringing some of the best scholars and Christian authorities onto campus to speak to students and elevate campus commitment to open dialogue. When asked about the invitation to Archbishop Chaput to visit CCU, Armstrong stated, "Archbishop Chaput embodies exactly what we want our students to hear and learn. He believes deeply in the sanctity of life, the word in the Holy Bible, and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The mere speaking about Christian worldviews is not enough -- we must live our lives to those principles and help transform the world in which we live."Archbishop Chaput was born in Concordia, Kansas. On March 18, 1997, he was appointed Archbishop of Denver, Colorado. Archbishop Chaput is of French-Canadian and Native American descent. He has had a long and distinguished career, never failing to stand for living a life aligned with the principles of Jesus Christ. Tweet

The audience for both movies was rather small, perhaps because the subject hit a nerve too painful for many American moviegoers.
This will eliminate the inevitable "uh, I know I am forgetting someone" stretches that are both time consuming and painful.
No one should have to go through that, Hydorn said, to die a slow, painful death in a hospital bed.
But it is ordinary people who are going to be hit hard by this and it is going to be a long and painful process of adjustment.
I turned left, and began the long, painful walk to the emergency room at the University of Virginia medical center.
Please excuse me, but I'm really so tired that it is painful to me to talk.
The officer rose to his feet just then, as if to close the painful discussion.
It is painful to me to tell, but it would be far worse that you should hear it from any one else.
The thing that stuns me is that I've got to do so painful a thing.
He struck off with something of a painful gait, which he explained was from the gout.

From Main Street to Wall Street—10 Things a Startup Should Do to Groom Itself for an Eventual IPO
You've got the vision, the core team, and even a little money. You're prepared to devote enormous time and energy to your new startup. You're unsure what the future will bring but you want to preserve the possibility of going public some day. Here are 10 things you can do to put your startup on the path to an eventual IPO:
[Editor's note: Last month, the author shared a list of 10 things companies need to do now if they hope to go public in the next year or so. This month, he turns the company's clock back and discusses key steps that can help put a startup on the IPO path.]
• Protect Your IP: In some sectors, intellectual property is the heart of the company, but even low-tech or no-tech startups routinely rely on confidential information, trademarks, domain names, and copyrights. You should fashion an IP protection program that matches your needs and budget. Basic IP protection includes: corporate name and trademark searches; non disclosure and invention assignment agreements with employees; confidentiality and IP ownership agreements with consultants and third-parties; limitation of internal access to confidential information to persons with a need to know; proper use of confidentiality legends, trademark symbols, and copyright notices; and domain name registration.
• Respect Former Employers: Sure, you've got a great idea and maybe some technology to get you started, but be certain your nascent technology isn't owned by a former employer, since a lawsuit can stop your new company in its tracks. Similarly, be mindful of any non competition or non-solicitation agreements you or your employees may have-these obligations can affect both the nature of your business and your ability to recruit talent from former employers.
• Bootstrap to Avoid Dilution: A founder's sweat equity is a crucial part of the startup package, and by granting equity incentives a startup can pay less cash compensation to employees (although minimum wage laws still apply). "Bootstrapping" can help delay substantial outside investment until significant milestones justify a higher valuation-and protect that equity from dilution. Bootstrapping might include founder resources, loans from friends and family, or cash flow from operations. Friends-and-family investments present both benefits (it is money) and disadvantages (it can be awkward to ask Mom for a loan), but may be the best funding alternative at inception.
• Stay Out of the Woodwork: An IPO can be "woodwork" time. People you've long since forgotten might show up looking for a piece of the company. Preempt these surprises by making sure your IP rights are properly documented and all equity arrangements are in writing.
• Employ At-Will and Take Vacations: Your employment policies will evolve with growth in your business. An essential one is an employment at-will policy-stating that the employment of any employee can be terminated at any time and for any reason, or for no reason. The policy's purpose is to negate any inference that an employee is entitled to continued employment or severance upon termination. Limits on vacation carryover should also be adopted early on, to avoid the buildup of accrued vacation on your books. Besides, annual vacations will keep key employees fresh and productive.
• Pre-Wire the Company: Financing arrangements should contemplate the possibility of going public. Set up your capital structure to become streamlined in an IPO, with preferred stock automatically converting into common stock. Make sure your investor agreements (other than registration rights) and investor board rights terminate in an IPO. These kinds of steps can minimize the need for amendments or waivers in the IPO process and facilitate the transition to public company life.
• Lockup the Future: In every IPO the underwriters require lockup agreements that prohibit pre-IPO stockholders from selling shares for a specified period of time-typically 180 days-following the IPO. Lockup agreements help maintain an orderly market while the distribution of shares is completed and initial trading develops. All pre-IPO stockholders and option holders are ordinarily asked to sign lockup agreements. IPO preparations will be easier if you include lockup provisions in your stock plans and agreements and financing documents from the beginning.
• Remember the Securities Laws: Many securities laws apply to startups long before they go public. Issuances of stock and options-whether to founders, employees, or investors-must comply with these laws. Violations can result in liability to the company, make it difficult to attract investors, and even jeopardize an IPO. With experienced counsel, securities law compliance is usually not particularly burdensome, but it must not be overlooked.
• Discover Delaware: If you hope to go public, incorporate in Delaware. More than 90% of all IPO companies call Delaware home, and for good reason: Delaware offers nationwide familiarity; a permissive and flexible corporation statute; and a well-developed body of case law. Reincorporation in Delaware prior to an IPO is possible but this step can be skipped by starting off in Delaware-and your financings and other corporate transactions will be facilitated in the meantime.
• Keep Good House: IPO preparations will proceed more smoothly if you attend to "corporate housekeeping" on a regular basis. This includes minute books, stock and option records, employee agreements, IP documentation, contracts, and other corporate records and formalities, as well as legal compliance. Many defects can be fixed as an IPO draws nearer, but the process will be helped if you start with a solid foundation of good housekeeping.
Finally, don't despair if the IPO market is not ready when you are. In recent years, far more startups have been acquired than gone public. Both possibilities can even be pursued simultaneously in a "dual track" strategy. The above preparation will serve both paths well.

What a dreary film and what a disappointment. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps has no plot, weak characters, and it takes forever for the storyline to start. Michael Douglas has a completely unconvincing role which is not worthy of him at all.
It is so disappointing after the original Wall Street, which had a fast-paced plot, a great villain in Gordon Gekko, and some deeply memorable lines. It was also a big mistake to watch it with Blog daughter who has no interest in business or money, and was yawning within the first twenty minutes.
You know immediately who the bad guys are – they are the ones with investments in "old energy," oil and coal – as distinct from the angelic guys pushing "fusion." It was one cliché after the other, with the plot hinging on convincing the important investors who were of course Chinese. Give this one a miss.

The bus snaked its way through Ohio's most affluent areas completing the Romney Ohio bus tour. Romney said he felt a special affinity to these wealthy people. Romney was all smiles and handshakes fondly saying "these millionaires are my kind of people." Romney accepted bushels of contributions and announced that "corporations are people too" as he was being mobbed by lobbyists. It was heartwarming to see Romney pretend that it wasn't about the money.
The tour was carefully routed around Ohio's irresponsible working class neighborhoods. Romney pointed out that those losers won't vote for him so why should he pretend to care about them. He said, "those poor people haven't contributed much to my campaign. All of the poor people in the country probably couldn't contribute as much as one Koch brother. Why would I give a crap about them."
A reporter asked Romney if that was his dog on the roof of the bus. Romney said, "you can't prove that's my dog. I put a mask on him. Besides, I can do anything I want now because I have enough money to buy 53% of the vote."

Kicking off her stay on the Island State, Ashley Tisdale was spotted arriving in Hawaii yesterday afternoon (March 18).
The "High School Musical" cutie looked to be in good spirits as she carried her luggage and joined her friends on a shuttle bus. No diva behavior here!
Over the weekend, Miss Tisdale took to her Twitter page to reminisce about getting fit on the set of her former "Hellcats" gig.
She tweeted, "When running on the treadmill having Tom Welling in front of you makes it a lot easier How lucky was I to have him as an exec producer. #HOT"

We were made very welcome during our stay and nothing was too much trouble. -
cleanliness, attentiveness of staff when required, decor, closeness for requirements of city shops and arena for concert pool change area is small, there was a hen party there for the day getting treatments in the spa and there were no lockers available so we had to take everything into the pool area! Lifts were a problem- a number of us (guests) had encoutered room cards that didn't work in lifts- my mother who I was travelling with hates lifts and we got stuck!
The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was first class.
The staff were extremly polite and courteous, not always the case in such hotels, unfortunatly.
All the staff were friendly and helpful and the room was fantastic with everything we needed
Modern "boutique" feel to decor & rooms. Central location. Decent leisure facilities. Buffet breakfast was a bit old-fashioned and not in keeping with quality of hotel.
Clean, comfortable and convenient
Great service, stylish, interesting history
Staff were exceptional,service excellent. Standard of toiletries in a five star hotel was not as good as I expected.Shower was not great.
the hotel was lovely and the room very comfortable with lovely facilities we were on room only as that was the special rate we got but we didn't have breakfast as it was far too expensive
This is a stunning building where most of the original features have been retained. The bar and restaurant is funky and modern yet in the most incongruous Victorian environment. Room was very high ceilinged and immaculately furnished and comedy and clean. Downsides were no air con a bit cold and the place is a rabbit warren (though they do give you a map)
The staff were quietly efficient and helpful. Found traffic noise a little overbearing. Booking my meal on line proved not to be value for money as our meal was less that that stated on line, but we still had to pay original price.
The room was very impressive and comfortable. Also, there was a lot on offer for breakfast.
the building and public areas and the function i attended at the hotel 2 days before my stay i received a call from the hotel cancelling my reservation for myself and my 6 guests due to overbooking. after a lot of difficult conversations my reservation was reinstated the next day.This is completely unnaceptable and caused a lot of concern
Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Old fashioned tv. Very few luxuries in the bedroom/bathroom.No shower cap or hair conditioner for my wife. A little disapointed with the breakfast set up in the morning. We normally have one person waiting table but that didnt happen, just people wandering around.
Room lovely and spacious. Nice products. Friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful building. Delicious breakfast.
Luxurious room, furnishings and curtains etc.
the fact west ham won at old trafford ! jokes apart the service and freindly approach of all the staff no
The staff were excellent, really friendly and helpful. As we were going to the theatre the location was great. The building itself is amazing - what a beautiful old building...! Breakfast was good and our room was massive. I look forward to staying there again
The bar/restuarant Being woke at 3am due to rail works directly outside my bedroom window
most comfortable bed i have ever slept in! successful fusion of old an new styles.. the sink was blocked and i forgot to tell them - room 203
beautifull building, restaurant and reception very beautifull, good location bad aisles, labyrinth to reach the room, room old fashion
Friendly professional staff and very comfortable beds.
A superb building. The room had lovely furniture. We really enjoyed our stay.
Clean rooms and courteous staff
the room was amazing the price of swimming costumes was too expensive
I have stayed here several times, excellent location, top class facilities. only minor fault is prices in bar, but I guess this has to be expected given the location / hotel
Central location and beautiful christmas decorations Being unable to open a window for health and safety reasons. Air conditioning is noisy, un green and not as good as fresh air at night.
I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The Hotel itself is in a wonderful location for shopping.
Beautiful building, with a very grand reception area, good customer service in the bar and bedrooms very clean and comfortable. In the hallways there are pictures/collages of interesting facts about the hotel history. Not very personal (boutique style) more corporate style of hotel.
ther was noise from the next room after midnight and it took two phone calls to reception before the noise was stopped.
Completely comfoprtable and centrally located. Large room. Prices in Britain are high -- that is a fact of life -- and the Midland is expensive -- but I really am not complaining. It was proably the most comfortable hotel we stayed at in a 3 week visit to the UK.
the receptionist Kirsty was excellent.
Great location,beautifully renovated old building great Q hotels standard and very welcoming,highly trained staff that gave you service with a smile nothing was too much trouble we certainly were very well looked after during our stay Thankyou hotel did not accept our booking for dinner at £25 rate as advertised by yourselves but after staying there we realised this was probably due to the hotel being very busy that weekend with private functions other than this we had no complaints at all
The room we were given was a room for the disabled, guessing that's why the room rate was better than the Hilton's web site price.
The Cloud Lounge I was rather cold in the room, and we could hear the lift going up and down during the night.
The location is good for city centre bars and restaurants but it is easy to access from the motorway and parking is easy nearby I paid 249 pounds for one night in what I thought would be a luxury, exclusive hotel and it isn't. The room service breakfast was an insult.
locatio and comfort my partner found on returning home , that some braceletts and bangles were missing from her bag . we did not complain as they were not of a great monetary value , but my [partner found this upsetting !!!! .
The views were spectacular. We could have spent the whole stay in the Cloud 23 bar. And every member of staff that we met were wonderful.
when staying at the hotel my boyfriend and i really enjoyed are selfs we went for my birthday and everyone at the hotel treated us like royalty and there nothing they didnt do for us! they made my birthday very special and memerable!! i would definatly recommed it to any one!
We recieved a complimentary upgrade to executive class, which was fantastic as this was a Chritmas treat. Just a small quible but there were no tea making facilities in our room.
It was such a refreshing change to stay at a hotel where the attitude of the staff enhanced the stay. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful which is unfortunately not the case in most hotels.
Superb hotel, amazing rooms No
very good hotel with perfect location specially if you have conference in Manchester Central there is no extending for the check out time
Game Old Trafford No
excellent service, promt checking in and out and very friendly staff no
Everything! The hotel is in a great location, the staff are friendly and helpful and hotel was clean, comfortable and very up-to-date.
Yes I just wish it was cheaper so I could have ate a breakfast and I also wish it could have been kept on longer as drinking the night before and early breakfasts are just not supoosed to fit together. So to sum it up, I think the cost of the brekkie should be included in the main price I payed and it should be untill at least 11:00am finish on a weekday.
It was an enjoyable weekend. The bar man on Friday/Saturday & Sunday Night was outstanding.
Reasonably good hotel in a good city centre location A little noisy at night, lacks a nice lounge or somewhere really relaxing for a seat a drink and a chat with friends.
My stay was for 4 nights, Beds were super comfortable, staff was superb and rooms were spacious.
The location can't be beat-. Close to shipping, bars and the Christmas markets. Could not have been happier with my choice. As a major plus, the staff was amazingly helpful.
The parking facillities/costs
The modern interior to a old building. The location of the hotel was perfect, next to China Town. When we got to our room, someone else's luggage was there. However, going to reception thinking we had someone else's room, they took the bags away swiftly.
Perfect location to stroll into the city.
Room v. clean and comfortable, quiet and roomy. Breakfast excellent. Reception was busy and a little slow but staff were friendly.
Very friendly reception staff and the beds were great.
Friendly Staff, good location generaly a very nice Hotel Eat Out
the location was very good and within walking distance to the shops and the tram if you need to travel further, staff were helpful and the bar in the hotel was good and lively i felt our room was quite small
This hotel is the closest to the Town Hall/Albert Square. Getting there from the train station cannot be easier; the tram stops right in the corner, a few steps away. It is close to everything in downtown Manchester. Very comfortable beds. Very large bathroom. There were many airline employees all the time, so I guess they know it is comfortable and very convenient. Room was odd shape without good views, but it was not bad.
friendly helpful staff,lovely rooms and very comfortable beds! very central for china town nothing
Location tops the staff were welcoming and helpful the room was of a high boutique standard. I paid £75 for a room I would gladly have paid double that amount for. Just one niggle traffic noise but what do you expect in a city centre.
Location and quality of internal fixtures & fittings External appearance is awful and rooms bear little resemblence to photos on the website - very small. Whole of one window covered by a Roomzzzzzz advertising screen!
The room, the furniture and the Internet I would not consider the so called breakfast they offered as a breakfast, there were only serving croissants, apples and banans and there were no plates!
Loved the i-mac in the room and the fast, easy access to the internet with built in dvd player. I thought I had booked room-only, so was pleased to discover the continental breakfasts. The decor of the room was modern and it felt light and bright - with a fantastic shower. The staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful at all times. There is very easy access to the city centre - most attractions are within walking distance, and the complimentary city centre bus stops very close to the hotel for connections to Picadilly Station and Salford. The noise from the road, but I don't suppose there is much you can do about that. It's the price paid for staying somewhere so central.
The location was perfect, minutes walk from shops, bars etc. The room was clean and everything we needed for a weekend break, however the carpet was stained in places. A full length mirror and a few more hooks in the bathroom would be a bonus for us girlies!!!
Rooms were spotless and very well designed. Great to have a kitchen in your room as it gives you the option of doing your own food or eating out. I had to leave
The layout of the rooms were excellent Friendly staff, location in the city and siz of room
Well equipped rooms , friendly staff , great location , just wished I had more time to enjoy it !!
very close to the china town, and the room is big, the service is really very friendly.
Very modern, staff friendly, very clean, comfy king size beds ! Check in time on website is different to check in time when you arrive, so we had to wander around manchester for a while as the room wasn't ready, however the staff rectified this with a complimentary car parking ticket !! bonus !!
Staff were good and attentive The room was very very basic and clinical not at all welcoming
friendliness of the staff needed more milk with the tea.coffee etc-but apparently we could have asked at reception
Very clean tidy , friendly helpful staff ,really enjoyed our stay will come back. no parking on site.
Close to town centre for Christmas shopping No decaf tea in room
Early check in was good. Well located Breakfast was included in my booking but they tried to charge me extra for it. When I showed them the booking they didn't charge me.
The Bar and the food was nice The man behind the reception i had a women when i was checking in and she was real nice
nice bar to have a drink and relax in after your return from whatever you have done in the city that night great opening hours. rooms a bit dated.
Perfectly located for the Bridgewater Hall Concert venue Lack of suitable food availabilty after the concert finished at 2200
good location
Staff were friendly and courteous and very helpful. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Couldn't find any faults anywhere with this hotel. It is the second time I have stayed here and if I am ever visiting Manchester again this is the hotel I will be staying in!
comfortable, value for money and very clean. very good location
distance from town center
very clean and comfortable room with good en suite facilities comfortable bed and good and sustaining breakfast. very noisy being situated ear a late night bar.
The room was clean and modern. The situation was exactly where I expected it to be A negative comment is surely a complaint?. What I didn't like was the poor organisation and communication.
The staff were very polite and efficient. The shower was a lovely modern shower and the room was very clean and spacious. I have no bad points to report.
Very clean, very-very hospitable and reliable staff small rooms, no electric adaptors
Central location Very noisy Rude staff Room was not cleaned, beds were not made, shower leaked all over floor, Air con squeaked all night long and banged on occasion Sausages at breakfast rubbish
Cleanliness and decor Breakfast selection and layout
Room was clean and nice.good location. Elevator did not work,with my bad knees Ihad to climb up and down five floors.
Excellent location and the breakfast was good. They ignored my e-mail request for slightly early check-in and the lady behind the counter was rude.
Very clean and plesant hotel None
The room we were given was triangular, and thus very uncomfortable, especially in view of the fact that we were staying five nights.
Hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. Place is convenient--with train station just nextdoor and within walking distance to town.
Poor check in
Very clean and comfortable None
Staff at check in were friendly Room was large and clean Good WiFi Automated check in did not work Long wait at check in Asked to pay for meal and drink up front in the bar. When I pointed out that I might have a second drink and asked for the bill to be left open until end of meal, I was still asked to pay up front. Very expensive for the quality of the hotel
Great location, very good staff Only one, the newspaper had to be collected from reception, in other hotels it would be hung on the door if too big to slide under the door
Friendly courteous helpful staff, very clean Television signal very poor, bath tap very stiff to turn on - I had to ask for assistance
Helpful staff. Nice,quiet rooms. Very comfortable bed. None
We wont stay anywhere else now after a bad experience at the Hilton - its the Premier every time for us now! You know exactly what to expect. I think we had to ask for an extra towel - no big deal!
Free car park Rooms near stairwells / lifts very noisy. bar prices excessive
Car parking facilities and accessibilty of tram and bus services Lots of uncleared tables at breakfast, which seemed to be due to unstaffing
General condition of room poor why were there 2 staff at desk without uniform management
Easy to find Bar/Restraunt staff were vague unattentive and prone to make mistakes, forget to bring orders etc. waiting in queue to be seated for breakfast and left standing there even though they knew you were there. very poor customer service.
The Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast excellent. Nothing. It did exactly what it said on the tin!
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The restaurant was very good and we took advantage of the meal deal, A 3 course meal with a drink and breakfast for 21 pounds. The bar closes at 11pm so if you have been out to see a show and want a nightcap have one before you return to the hotel.
The breakfast very plentiful. The security system. The many corridors and doors to negotiate to and from our room. Difficult when transporting luggage,and when in a hurry
Helpful Staff Noisy
Couple of particularly good staff - one on Reception, one in bar. Perfect location for our visit - an exhibition at the GMex Had a room at the front of the hotel - very noisy from road and tram traffic. If staying again would ask for a room at the back
What I expected clean and affordable, no probs Only had one towel in room and only realised getting out of shower so couldn't go get one
very nice rooms and very very clean. Staff very polite. Comfortable hotel Teal value for money.
No on site car parking, room had a smell of damp and fags!
Good location. Clean room.
good sized room - efficient check in- excellent security arrangements
Central easy access to public transport No bad points
Very nicely decorated and furnished bedroom. Very quiet. Bathroom a bit tired
Cheap and good hotel in city Nothing
Friendly staff, excellent central location Shower poor, air con ineffective (weather warm and humid during our stay).
Great location, walking distance to Manchester Central, busy areas and shopping areas. Safe area even at late hours. Breakfast is good including eggs, bacon, fruits, juices, yogurt. Rooms are comfortable and convinient. Modern bathrooms, everything working perfectly. Great value for money and I would definitely stay there again. Limited number of towels, only one per guest. No toiletries and hair drier in the room. No mini bar.
Staff were friendly and efficient.
The location was ideal for the city centre, near train station, well worth the visit.
Location, easy access to the city centre.
Clean hotel Air con didnt work
Room was clean, pod design bathroom was great - very clean and easy to use shower. Hotel is in a great location, close to business area as well as the shopping centre. I enquired about parking facilities before confirming my booking and was told there was a car park in the road behind the hotel (St James Street, Manchester) and I could get a discount card if I parked there (q car park). I wasn't given directions or sent a map and was led to believe it was easy to find....unfortunately it wasn't! I drove round and round the area but couldn't find it. It turns out St James Street is in two halves - one either side of another road and the one I went down was the wrong one. I ended up parking in an ncp car park which cost me a lot more money. More instruction should be given when staff advise on parking facilities.
staff were very friendly and helpful, room was comfortablethe location was ideal and near to all facilities the bathroom is almost a hazard to guests and especailly to elderly or for people with difficulties you have to step up in to the bath room and it is very small and you have to pull/push with great force to close the door. The hotel also charged the credit card for the full stay even though I rang twice to confirm that I would be paying in cash on arrival. wont be using this website again!!
Decent shower, cool room on a hot day. Value for money. Modern. Clean. Reception area and lobby also doubles as the Breakfast area and bar. This means visitors, tradesmen and general drop-ins all pass through the area. Breakfast and a late night drink (from a trolley) is not relaxing therefore. Perhaps that is what the building works were addressing and why the front door was locked at breakfast (0830hrs) - colleagues could not come in to meet me and had to get the door unlocked so I could meet them and my taxi. Reception did not answer telephone when rang at 0530hrs for an iron - but when I went down there was someone standing there at reception... who told me to go to the ironing room. Ironing room excellent - but a separate room.
The location is very good and conventient. The hotel is comfortable and clean. The dining area is very clinical and there's no atmosphere.The rooms have got no information about Manchester and it's facilities.
Good location, modern. Clean. Poor value for money. Poor selection of breakfast items.

Kangaroos delay golf tournament
They're a sight most visitors to Australia hope to spot - but are probably not a welcome distraction for international golfers attempting to sink a crucial putt.
Play was briefly interrupted at the Australian Women's Open golf championship on Thursday when a group of Kangaroos joined some of the world's top women players at the Royal Canberra golf course.

Half of those ready to leave North Hampshire Hospital in Basingstoke were removed from the list to go to a care home after they caught fresh infections, new figures have revealed.
Of 56 patients, 23 became sick while waiting for a month or more to be moved to a nursing home in January.
Many are believed to have been victims of a recent outbreak of a vomiting bug at the hospital.
Frank Rust, chairman of the local Community Health Council, said: "This is serious. It is a most unsafe situation to have elderly people remaining in hospital, not just because of the risk of infections, but because there's not the real support they need.
Building developers
"They don't have the furniture or the home comforts or environment that they need."
Social services blame the problem on the high cost of care homes.
The number of homes in the region is also dwindling, as many owners sell the land to building developers.
A new social services-owned nursing home is planned for Basingstoke, which would open by late 2004 at the earliest.
The government is planning new legislation to let hospitals fine social services £120 for every day a patient is left there waiting for a care home place.
It is estimated that more than 4,000 elderly people remain in hospitals in England despite being fit to leave.

Brewers Association
Beer produced in 2012: 13.2 million barrels
That number above is how much beer its member breweries produced in 2012. It would need help from just about all of them if it wants to take craft beer's message to the big game.
The Brewers Association has made its presence felt throughout the beer industry in recent years by not only coming up with a hard-and-fast definition of a craft brewer -- though it had to change that definition's production limit from 2 million to 6 million when Boston Beer grew more quickly than it anticipated -- but by lobbying Congress for a tax cut. Its Craft BREW Act would ease the burden on all breweries making 6 million barrels or less, which is basically all breweries but A-B, MillerCoors, Constellation's Modelo brands and Heineken USA, but it's going to need some support.
A competing bit of legislation has also made its way to Congress with the help of those big, left-out breweries and is recommending a sliding-scale tax cut for all U.S. breweries. Some breweries in the Brewers Association camp have thrown their support behind that one with the argument that any tax cut would be helpful, but the BA remains adamant that its legislation is the way to go.
Honestly, the BA does some great work that it gets just about no credit for. It helps out small breweries, it advances homebrewing through lobbying and education and it runs huge beer events that give even its tiniest members some big exposure. In the past year, however, the Small Brew Act and its craft brewer definition -- and the ensuing "craft vs. crafty" debate -- have made its message seem more about what big jerks the large brewers are and not about the great work small brewers do.
A "God Created a Farmer"-style ad for small brewers could do just that, but it's a costly proposition. The Brewers Association brought in just $13.4 million in revenue in 2012 and came up with only a $1 million surplus. That's about $3 million short of what it would take to reserve ad space, never mind what it would cost to pay a firm to put it together.
Our suggestion: Pass the hat. That Super Bowl ad cost may be tough for any one brewery to absorb, but BA includes three of the breweries on our list among its ranks. If some of those breweries can split the total and present a united front extolling the virtues of all small U.S. brewers, it could pay off in a big way. If not, best of luck to its members on those inter-city side bets and little-viewed YouTube ads.

I'm a little surprised that disgraced CBS producer Mary Mapes hasn't drawn a little more blogger interest for her (okay, tired and bitter) latest appearance on the Pacifica Radio show "Democracy Now." It was a two-part interview. Last Thursday, she was reliving her downfall after her Bush-bashing October Surprise as those obsessive bloggers took over: "in fact, by the time our story was off the air on the west coast, I mean, the moment it went off the air, it was -- it went nuts. From attacks on the authenticity of the documents, typeface and proportional spacing and all kinds of stuff that no sane person would obsess themselves with." Certainly, Mapes didn't obsess enough over her documents' authenticity. The first half of the interview ended with Mapes mauling Little Green Footballs as a hate site:
"Little Green Footballs, and I was just noticing Little Green Footballs is apparently a favorite today on this broadcast, because one of your previous guests had mentioned racist -- what he felt were racist postings. I was shocked at some of the postings on Little Green Footballs. Little Green Footballs is a very, very proactive, I think far right -- You know, I grew up on a farm with a lot of conservatives around me, and -- good people who would never talk and attack this way. And I thought the attacks were vicious and pointed and sexist and..." Pacifica ended the interview there.
Mapes was referring to some guy from Empirenotes.org insisting about LGF: "They regularly print racist stuff, they regularly refer to all Muslims as 'Koranimals.' Extremely racist term."
By last Friday, she'd returned to the same old line that the bloggers, not CBS, were full of baloney: "they were citing really obscure type-face issues that I think really confused most Americans as being proof that they were forged. They were also, by the way, totally and completely wrong. One of the things I did in the book was continue to research and find examples from within the National Guard archives in Texas that showed all the typeface issues and proportional spacing and all this stuff that they accused us of having overlooked, those examples were all in place in the archives. So their complaints were complete BS."
Mapes said her role was to be rude and obnoxious: "I grew up believing that as a journalist it was my job to rock the boat. And the moment I stepped into the boat, I wanted to rock it. And that's what we're supposed to do. Journalists are not supposed to be lapdogs, we're supposed to be watchdogs. We're supposed to be inappropriate guests at the public dinner parties. We're supposed to be people who ask rude questions, because we're there on behalf of Americans, all Americans. And we're supposed to behave that way."
Too bad CBS and "60 Minutes" never had a minute to rock John Kerry's swift boat.

Hello, I am 22 yr.old South Asian male that was a smoker prior to my procedure to correct the dorsal hump and rotate the tip slightly. Although, I have quit smoking regularly I have had a couple slips with 1 cigarette on different occasions(after 2 weeks post-op)and have had my nose bumped several times. Now, I have significant tip swelling and I think one nostril is rounder. My surgeon recommended steroid injections as he believes there are no cons to it. Any feedback on the outcome is appreciated.

Steroid injections after a rhinoplasty
Personally I would avoid the steroid injections to the distal nose as they have side effects such as fat atrophy, thinning of the overlying skin and development of small veins. Give it time and be careful not to hit your nose.

Feedback- YES! Why not stop hitting your nose!!! Allow it to heal over the next few months before entertaining steroid injections.
Steroid injections are occasionally used after rhinoplasty but should be done so with care.
Steroids are double-edged sword. Properly administered, they can help resolve localized swelling. If too much steroid is injected permanent tissue damage can be done.

Steroids five weeks after rhinoplasty
Steroids if used conservatively can prevent revision if scar thickens in the area above the tip. There is a risk of skin discoloration and thinning. If the rhinoplasty has a problem that was technique related the steroid will not often correct things (poor tip support with thick skin, over reduction of the dorsum, under-reduction in the supratip, etc.) Five weeks is early to go with steroids but it will be your surgeon's call.

Steroid injections for swelling
Steroids can be used safely on the nose if the tinjector is very careful and conservative. They should only be used on the area above the tip.

Although the authors of this study disclosed no relevant financial relationships it would nevertheless be relevant to point out that the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is part of the radical animal rights group PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. At the very least, therefore, the authors belong to (and are presumably being paid by) an organization with an ideological agenda a central pillar of which is the eradication of meat and animal products as a part of the human diet. This ideological and organizational affiliation surely colors the authors' ability to produce objective, impartial research, and that's a conflict of interest that should definitely be borne in mind by the reader..

As usual, bunk science coming out of a dietitian organization. This is in direct conflict with basic science FACT, meaning it's not legit..

Wish we knew if the positive effects were due to weight loss and better BG control, or actually attributable to the "plant-based foods" themselves. I'm gonna guess #1, but admittedly the study doesn't answer this question directly..
When you say that "many" of seven vegan-diet patients came off lipid-lowering drugs, it makes me wonder how many of them were actually suffering from statin-induced neuropathy (if not statin-induced diabetes)..
Greg MS RPh
LMiller, nice catch, why can't Medpage discover and disqualify these biased "studies"?.
SC doc
Interesting. I saw a Memorial Hermann physician interviewed on Fox a while back about the mitigating effect a totally plant-based diet had on his patients' diabetes..
james wilk
We've known this for 20 years. See Crane MG, Sample C. Regression of Diabetic Neuropathy with Total Vegetarian (Vegan) Diet. J Nutr Environ Med. 1994;4(4):431-439..
It appears the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is in good company: PCRM—along with PETA and groups such as the Centers for Disease Control, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving—has been the subject of public criticism for several years by the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), a non-profit lobby group representing the food and beverage industry.[25] The New York Times reported CCF's and PCRM's criticism of each other in 2004. CCF called PCRM a front for PETA, arguing that when PCRM offers health advice, they "do a very slick job of obscuring their real intentions," which is simply to oppose the use of meat, dairy products and alcohol. PCRM responded that, "If you are in the business of putting veal or beef on the tables of America, and slaughtering more than a million animals per hour, and making an awful lot of money at it, you are going to try to neutralize PETA or other animal-rights groups."[26] Membership includes many prominent physicians with highly-respected professional affiliations..
This was a VERY small study and causation cannot be determined. I wouldn't give up meat for this finding!!.
Regardless of politics, an n=15 study? Really?? I have seen studies with an n=1000 or more based on low carbohydrate diets be bashed and told they need further studies with more patients enrolled to verify. But this study with n=15 and all the confounders? Really!!!.
Unfortunately, there is no Big Vegetable willing to shell out the multiple millions of dollars necessary to conduct a thousand-person study of a genuinely healthy plant-based diet. This pilot study had to be relatively expensive per capita, as each participant received several months of weekly instruction in how to cook nutritious vegetarian dishes. Without that intensive education, they would have been testing only the dubious benefits of a meat-free but starch-laden processed-food diet, because many Americans have no idea how to cook plant foods from scratch. (I have a quite intelligent, educated middle-aged relative who has never cooked dry beans and professes herself "afraid" to try.) The question of how large a study or studies should be before a patient is willing to make a trial of the tested intervention is answerable only through the prism of individual values. There is no risk involved with eating veggies for a few months; not only might it improve your health, but you might find you like them better than hamburgers. At worst, you'll dislike them, in which case you can go back to burgers just as easily with no harm done. Therefore, to me, a small positive study would be enough to make the diet worth trying. YMMV.
wla is correct - this is an intervention that costs nothing (most whole plant foods are cheaper than meat, dairy and seafood), is extremely unlikely to produce any ill effects and is likely to help other health problems in addition to diabetes. Why, then, are so many of us so loath to even research or try it in the face of increasing evidence that it can prevent or possibly even reverse chronic disease? What's the real problem? Our patients' health or the possible loss of tradition and convenience?.

i'd like to see the 'mechanism of action' on how this plant based diet offers relief from diabetic neuropathy pain..

I can speak from the experience of a 90 year old and a 53 year old that low carbon diets reduce neuropathic pain almost immediately..
