...The Food and Drug Administration said it approved FluLaval in part by relying on safety data from Canada, where the vaccine has been available since 2001. The vaccine is made by Id Biomedical Corp., a Canadian company purchased by the British pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline PLC in 2005. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate there will be about 115 million doses of vaccine for the 2006-07 flu season. GlaxoSmithKline hopes to combine stocks of FluLaval with its Fluarix vaccine, approved in 2005, and provide roughly 25 million to 27 million of those doses, a company spokeswoman said. FluLaval is for use in adults only. It has not been tested in children or pregnant women. The FDA-approved version contains thimerosal, a preservative made with a derivative of the toxic metal mercury. Glaxo plans to...

Review of Loire Valley (France)

Not more cheese?

Advantages: creamy
Disadvantages: ?

...with the Cistercian monks at Notre Dame near Laval and Angers in the Pays de la Loire; in 1959 they sold the rights of the cheese to a dairy company who now make the cheese in a factory in the Lorraine region of France on the borders of Germany. This cheese is encased in an orange rind that is an attractive colour on any cheese board. This rind is edible, but personally I usually take most of mine off. The cheese inside is a semi soft cheese it is made from cows milk. The colour a creamy pale yellow. Yesterday I ate some for lunch with some crackers. Before I put some on the crackers I did a taste test. The cheese was soft in my mouth smooth textured and tasted very mild not unlike dairy lee but with a little more taste and much nicer delicious and creamy. I usually like strong cheddar or a garlic herb soft cheese but for those times when I want...

Review of Gothika (DVD)

where is it better to leave west of France?

Advantages: help you to choose a town
Disadvantages: ...

.... BREST. One of my friend live there and he will leave this town for any reason. He says this town is perfect because you have everything in town and you can't be nearest from the sea. This is as Angers, a university town. Brest is situated west of Brittany in the FINISTERE. There, prices for buying a house are reasonnable. Prices goes from 650 euros to 2000 euros per m2 if you want to became a proprietor. So you can choose depending on the money you have. If you choose to live in Brest, you don't need to have a car, because there are plenty of buses going everywhere LAVAL. Prices are there really better than in Brest and Angers, and Laval is one of the most famous town situated west of France. To live there you need to have a car. I believe that this town is well situated. Lots of different schools are build there. This is an ideal town...

Review of Member Advice on Living Abroad

Er, are you terribly fond of snow

Advantages: A unique city - try it!
Disadvantages: Not for everybody - especially not glitzybods!

...I don’t know why I started to write this opinion but for the fact that I’ve recently returned to work after the long (and not so hot) summer and feel the need to plan my half-term holiday and a cold(er) break. It does help with the sanity somehow, as you can appreciate (the holiday that is - not the temperature)! After recently talking with one of my Canadian friends, I thought of re-visiting Canada during my October week off. I was lucky enough to spend the year abroad of my degree studying at Université Laval in Québec City so it’s a region and country that I’ve come to know pretty well and have always looked upon with more than affection. To recommend it to the average prospective traveller, Québec, both province and city, is a more than a decent place to spend a few days. I know it can be considered...

Review of General: Quebec (Canada)

The Magic of the French countryside

Advantages: Grand chateau in the French countryside, excellent dining
Disadvantages: Expensive, slightly remote, ask for the main house

...Other French country houses may claim to be the storybook chateaux of your dreams, but the Château d'Esclimont is the genuine article. Just 60 kilometers from Paris, not far from Chartres, the Chateau d'Esclimont has the distinctive profile of the classic Chateau in your mind's eye. Its warm red and gray facade fairly bristles with the dappled light reflected from the lake and the great lawns on all sides. Come here for the weekend or a week, and you will be transported, at least for a short while, into a storybook of your own. A Very Brief History The great house was built in 1543 by the Bishop of Tours, later passing into the hands of the Counts of Cheverny, Henry IV's Counsellor to Parliament, Claude de Bullion, and later still to the Duke of Laval. Eventually, it passed into the hands of the Rochefoucauld-Doudeauville family...

Review of Chateau d'Esclimont, Paris

Allez Les Rouges

Advantages: The world's best football team, simple really!
Disadvantages: But Man Utd keep winning things

...). 30 Djimi Traore Young French defender. Started last season at left-back but has been out of favour since. Speculation has it that he may leave Liverpool, despite them fending off a lot of competition to sign him from Laval for £500,000 in February 1999. 27 Gregory Vignal Another exciting French prospect; can play either side of defence (preferably the left) or even midfield. A £750,000 signing from Montpellier. 1 Sander Westerveld Broke British transfer record for a goalkeeper when signed. Looks shaky at times, especially when kicking and coming for crosses. Saved two crucial penalties in the Worthington Cup triumph though and is also known for his powerful goal kicks (chalking up an ?assist? for Holland during Euro 2000) 29 Stephen Wright Young English defender/right-back; product of Liverpool?s youth system. Plus...

Review of Liverpool

Will they achieve

Advantages: They don't have any big problems and have young prospects.
Disadvantages: The midfield crossing isn't great, the keeper makes mistakes and they need to perform. Only one signing during the summer.

...international apps for Germany, he said he needed to adapt to England, he has done that. He is 28 and should carry on with Germany as well, before Germany don't want him. The left side isn't a problem either with Jamie Carragher. He is a tough tackler and good at heading he is very defensive though. He can also play at right back, central defence and midfield. He is one for the future and will be in the England squad for years to come. The back up is Djimi Traore is a young French 21 year old and was rumoured to be going to Blackburn for 4 million and would have a 3.5 million profit they bought him from Laval. Vignal and Wright will also be useful in the defence and are both young prospects. RATING:8.5/10 MIDFIELD: The midfield consists of a very talented bunch of players. They have a lot of young midfielders who are great prospects especially...
