(see who XOLAIR is for below)
What you may experience
getting started
XOLAIR should always be injected in a doctor's office. You should read the Medication Guide before starting XOLAIR treatment and before each and every treatment.
You are now leaving this site and moving to an external Website independently operated and not managed by Genentech and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. Genentech and Novartis assume no responsibility for the site. If you do not wish to leave this site, click Cancel. Or, click to continue.
Continue CancelXOLAIR® (omalizumab) for subcutaneous use is an injectable prescription medicine for patients 12 years of age and older. It is for patients with moderate to severe persistent allergic asthma caused by year-round allergens in the air.
A skin or blood test is done to see if you have allergic asthma. XOLAIR is for patients who are not controlled by asthma medicines called inhaled steroids.
XOLAIR helps reduce the number of asthma attacks in people with allergic asthma who still have asthma symptoms even though they are taking inhaled steroids.
Important Limitations of Use
XOLAIR should always be injected in a doctor's office. You should read the Medication Guide before starting XOLAIR treatment and before each and every treatment.
A severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis has happened in some patients after they received XOLAIR. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening condition and can lead to death, so get emergency medical treatment right away if signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis occur after receiving XOLAIR.
Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis include:
Anaphylaxis from XOLAIR can happen:
Your healthcare provider should watch you for some time in the office for signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis after injecting XOLAIR. If you have signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis, tell your healthcare provider right away.
You should not receive XOLAIR if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a XOLAIR injection. Do not use XOLAIR if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.
In clinical studies, a variety of cancer types, including breast, skin, prostate, and parotid (a type of salivary gland), were reported in more patients who received XOLAIR than in patients who did not receive XOLAIR.
XOLAIR is not a rescue medicine and should not be used to treat sudden asthma attacks.
XOLAIR is not a substitute for the medicines you are already taking. Do not change or stop taking any of your other asthma medicines unless your doctor tells you to do so.
Some patients on XOLAIR may have an abnormal increase in eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood or tissues, sometimes causing an inflammation of blood vessels, which can lead to rash, worsening of respiratory symptoms, heart trouble, and/or nerve pain and weakness.
Joint inflammation or pain, rash, fever, and swollen lymph nodes have been seen in some patients taking XOLAIR after the first or subsequent injections. Talk to your doctor if you've experienced any of these signs and symptoms.
The most commonly seen side effects occurring more frequently in patients receiving XOLAIR than in patients who received placebo (an injection with no active medicine) were joint pain, pain (general), leg pain, tiredness (fatigue), dizziness, fracture, arm pain, itching, inflammation of the skin, and earache.
In asthma studies, the most common side effects in patients, who either needed to stop XOLAIR or needed medical attention, were injection site reaction, viral infections, upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, headache, and sore throat. These side effects were seen at similar rates in XOLAIR-treated patients as in patients that did not receive XOLAIR.
There are other possible side effects with XOLAIR. Talk to your doctor for more information and if you have any questions about your treatment.
XOLAIR has not been studied in pregnant women. Pregnant women exposed to XOLAIR are encouraged to enroll in the XOLAIR Pregnancy Exposure Registry. You can get more information by calling 1-866-4XOLAIR (1-866-496-5247) or by speaking with your doctor.
You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. You may also report side effects to Genentech at 1-888-835-2555.
Please see full Prescribing Information, including Medication Guide, for additional important safety information.

A Creative Way to Take Turmeric
Turmeric is a member of the ginger family of plants and is well known for its use in curries and other Eastern dishes. Its bright yellow color makes it useful for dyeing fabric, and it's also used in decorative body work, particularly at Indian weddings, where the bride is often treated to a bridal mask. As part of this traditional practice, turmeric and milk are mixed together and applied to skin the night before the wedding—creating a golden glow that's not only beautiful but said to ward off evil spirits.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A moonshine distillery and a microbrewery were among businesses receiving preliminary loan approvals from the state Economic Development Authority Thursday morning, part of a pickup in state loan activity.
In addition to helping finance the two business startups, the authority also approved a threephase loan plan designed to help a Harrison County polyurethane company expand its operations.
The three loans, plus an additional loan insurance package, marked a change of pace in the number of business finance packages approved at the authority's monthly meetings.
"It looks like our loan activity has picked up, so that's good news," Economic Development Authority executive director David Warner told board members Thursday morning.
Warner said he couldn't identify any one factor - such as improving economic conditions or an increase in state business startups - that's led to the increase, but he said he expects the trend to continue over the next few months.
"I expect, based on the applications that have come into our office, to have at least another three projects presented for approval next month," Warner said.
Members of the authority board approved two 10-year loans to help Appalachian Distillery LLC and the Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company, Inc. purchase production equipment for their new facilities.
Appalachian Distillery plans to begin producing legal-proof distilled moonshine whiskey and flavored moonshine at a warehouse located along Cedar Lakes Drive near Ripley.
The authority approved an $81,000 loan for the distillery to use to purchase equipment. The interest rate on the 10-year loan was set at 2 percent.
The company had originally planned to locate in Ravenswood, but confusion over that city's zoning laws and protests from a small band of anti-alcohol Christian fundamentalists led the company to decide against locating in that town.
The company plans to employ six people during its first year, growing to a 10-person staff by its third year of operation.
The Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company plans to open its microbrewery operation in a warehouse at the Rahall Technology and Business Center near Lewisburg. The microbrewery will be located across the street from the Smooth Ambler distillery.
The brewing company plans to produce and package a variety of craft beers for distribution and sale in state retail establishments.
The authority approved a 10year, $465,300 loan to help the brewery purchase equipment. The interest rate on the loan was also set at 2 percent.

My IVF Cycle Failed – What Went Wrong? Question #15: Might My Mental State Have Played a Role?
This is the 15th in a series of responses to common questions about failed IVF
There is little doubt that stress and emotional lability plays a role in the normal physiological/hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle.After all, Eskimos often stopped ovulating and menstruating during long dark winters, young women confronted by a major emotional trauma such as a broken love affair can develop irregular ovulation, menstruation and even amenorrhea, and chickens kept exposed to constant light will ovulate more frequently and yield more eggs.Against this background, women trying to achieve spontaneous pregnancies need to be made aware that one of their biggest enemies is stress.
On the other hand, when it comes to ovulation induction for IVF, the woman's central regulatory mechanism is, so to speak, put on "automatic pilot," such that stress plays much less of a role, if any at all.There is no such thing as a completely stress-free IVF experience and, when a question arises as to how this might affect outcome, I reassure my patients that it should not be of major concern.
This having been said, the financial and physical investment in IVF treatment will inevitably lead to stress, and it is accordingly in everyone's best interest to place proper emotional preparation for IVF high on the "to-do" list.Since most infertile patients feel disempowered, it is advisable to have them fully informed and empowered to make decisions.In this regard, there is no greater advantage than to have an empathetic, sensitive and seasoned IVF medical team at the helm.Undoubtedly the nurse coordinator plays a pivotal role in this regard.There are cases where the IVF journey becomes overwhelming for patients.In such situations, a referral to a counselor is essential.Rarely does the degree of emotional lability relate to an underlying psychosis.In such cases, it is vital to refer the patients to a psychiatrist and to be ready to cancel the cycle of treatment should this become indicated.
Quite frankly, many patients undergoing IVF become duly stressed when being confronted with so many do's and don'ts by the treating medical team.Directives such as "avoid caffeine," "avoid hot tubs," "get 10 hours of rest a night," "don't dare have a single glass of wine," "beware of taking your medications even a few minutes outside of schedule" and many other such didactic rules tend to scare patients and lead them to the erroneous belief that even a single deviation could spell failure.In my opinion, this is totally unnecessary as no single infraction is detrimental by itself.

Very good Blog post! During my IVF cycle in Feb, I recall hearing many of the "don'ts" that you've listed! Ugh! After hyper-stimming, I sort of felt helpless, and unfortunately had a super early miscarriage. So thank you for this! It helps and makes me feel a little less guilty, and that my miscarriage wasn't my fault!!
Thank you most kindly. Glad it helped!
Good luck!
Geoff Sher
Thank you Dr Sher for this entry. I have learned new interesting facts esp in the first paragraph.
You are most welcome.
Geoff Sher
It's so important for women going through IVF to know these things.
There are already countless pressures and stresses laid upon us during a cycle – the panic of responsibility for every smallest thing can't be good! -
I concur!
hanks for taking the time to comment!
Geoff Sher
Message: I just had 2 failed ivf cycles with 2 cgh normal blastocyst. I have a reciprocal balanced translocation hence the need for ivf/cgh. My doctor says I have no uterine or immunological abnormalities except for a mild case of hasimoto's. I got pregnant twice naturally but had miscarriages at 8 weeks in both cases. I\'m 28 years old and my husband is 41 and prefect. I don\'t know the way forward right now. I need help.
Dear doctor
I am experiencing secondary infertility. I have been trying for three years for a 2nd. My amh is 1.4 and initially in my first ivf my fsh was normal. In my second ivf it was elevated.
First round of ivf we only had two eggs both fertilized but no transfer. The second cycle there was one egg and we cancelled it. I have been given dhea and recommended one more go. My specialist has explained we are not good candidates for ivf.
I have acupuncture weekly and am otherwise very healthy, ovulate and have good lining in second half of my pregnancy.
What do you think?
Dr. Sher,
My sister had Leukemia when she was in her teens and her Fallopian tubes were removed. Needless to say, she can not get pregnant on her own. Last year, we tried IVF. I was 24 and perfectly healthy. The doctors were so optimistic. Up until I went in for the surgery, they told me I was going to have a lot of eggs to give to my sister. Shortly after they started the procedure, they stopped. I was told that I had many follicles but that they were empty, they were only able to get 3 eggs?? My sister is afraid to try IVF again in fear of it not working again and also in fear that she took my "last eggs". I have seen other doctors and they are telling me I am still a healthy, fertile, 25 year old. Could I have been overstimulated?? Just trying to find answers so that we can try IVF again and go in open minded! Thank you so much for your time.
dear doc i am 26 year old and married for 2 years.i have a history of Dysfunctional uterine bleeding since puberty and as the bleeding used to continue for 2 months in a row so doc started giving me Duphaston that regulated my cycle.i have been on Dience 35 as well and then later the periods gap settled t0 10 days.. After every ten or 11 days i used to bleed for 7 days … so doc again put me on period regulating pills. I got married in 2011 and after four months i reported pain.on TVS an ovarian fibroma was detected and Laproscopy was done.and Fibroma was removed and the report said that tubes are patent.Then later i was put on clomid 5mg to induce ovulation but it didnt benefit me. my FSH is 4.46miU/ml ,my Estradiol is 172.4 Pg/ml ,LH 3.50 miU/ml ,Prolactin 12.84 ng/ml and Testosterone is 0.115 ng/ml and my AMH level is 17.03 prnol/l,Insulin level is 10.12 and my
TSH is 3.69 uU/ml. Then I was put on stimulation with Menogon for timed intercourse but it didn't benefit either and then doc ordered a Hystersalpingogram which could nt be carried out because the doc found a polyp that was touch to bleed. It was removed by Hysteroscopy and the results showed that the uterus was normal and free floating too. Then on the basis of AMH test report the decision of ICSI was taken
now i am writing the histroy given to me by my doctor
Uzma has a history of ovarian tumor removal,poor ovarian reserve and one time stimulation with Menogon for timed intercourse. Husband semen analysis was normal.was given Progluton for period regulation.On day 2 of cycle U/S showed anteverted uterus of normal size 7.7cm x 2.93cm. Thin endo 2.2 mm,Rt ovary accessible with moderate antral follicles and Lt ovary slightly small with 4 antral follicles. Antagonist Protocol for controlled ovarian stimulation was used. I was given 375 IU of Merional for 4 days. U/S on 6th Sep 2012 showed Endometrium triple line of 7.9mm. Rt ovary 4 follicles between 13-15mm, Lt ovary 2 follicles12-13 mm.
I was again Advised Merional 450IU for further 4 days and Inj Cetrotide .25mg for 4 days. U/S on 9 sep showed Endometrium Triple line of 8.2 mm. Rt ovary 4 follicles between 16-17mm,Lt ovary 3 follicles 14-15mm. was given HCG and ovum pick up was planned 36 hrs later.
10 eggs were recovered. Husband's semen analysis showed 2.5 ml volume, 119×10 6/ ml count with 84% motility and 5% morphology (strict Kruger's criteria).
10 MII oocytes were
injected, 7 fertilized and 6 cleaved. On day 2, 4 embryos were 4 cells G1 and 2 embryos 4
cells G1-2. On day 3, 1 embryo was 8 cells G1, 4 embryos 8 cells G1-2 and 1 embryo 8 cells
G 2. On Day 5 there were 4 full blastocysts and 2 early blastocysts. 1 hatching and 1 full
blastocyst were transferred. ET was easy.
No remaining embryos was frozen.
She was advised luteal support with 8% Crinone + Estradiol Valerate 4 mg daily.
i got pregnant however after 6 weeks i miscarried.started having brown discharge and then bleeding
the BHCG was also not doubling in 48hrs.
my doc planned another ICSI attempt in March 2013. However my mother in law took me to another doc yesterday and he said that the protocol used was not correct. Till the time my FSH is fine ,AMH test values dont matter. Thirdly the endometrium lining was not upto the mark and even the pregnancy support medication given of 8% Crinone and Estradiol Volerate 4mg was not right….According to him i should start taking Glucophage pills and get a Hysterosalpingogram done to check for tubes ( although Laproscopy findings say that tubes are patent ) and he said i should go for IUI .
Based on my history you please guide me that was the protocol followed was right ? -
on my AMH the reference ranges are in prnol
optimal fertility :40.04 – 67.9
satisfactory fertility: 21.98 – 40.03
low fertility: 3.08 – 21.97
very low/undetectable:0.0-3.07My AMH value is 17.03 prnol/l does not it lie in the low range ?
At the end of the refrence ranges its written that levels greater than 67.9 prnol/l are suggestive of PCO or granulosa tumors.
Secondandly i have consulted numerous doctors and they all say that \i dnt have PCO as i dnt have any apperant PCO symptoms .. neither on TVS it shows PCO and had i been having PCO then on this hi stumulation i would have produced 40-50 eggs rather than this Hypo response.
told u that my mother in law took me to this new doc who without even checking me or doing a scan said that i might be having PCO and asked me to start taking Glucophage…..Please Ans me that if the laproscopy report says that tubes are patent then why has the doctor asked for a hysterosapingogram ? since one year now my periods are always delayed …. after 2 months time or even once i had them after 3 months … and on TVS the doc tells that she doesnt see the ovarian activity as if the ovaries are going towards premature ovarian failure…..
I am so confused at which doctor to trust and whether go for ICSI again or not
thanks doc.. so based on my FSH ,E2 and AMH now what do u think should i go for IUI or another ICSI reatttempt ?
and u didnt reply that if the laprsocopy result says that my tubes are patent then why doc wants to have an Hysterosalpingogram done ??? thirdly should i take DHEA or not ?
thanks for your guidance.
GOD bless You -
why my blood test on day 2 of cycle shows a normal FSH of 4.7 value .. however my AMH is 17.03 prnol.. why such opposite results ?
Hello Dr Sher
I am really struggling because I was diagnosed with herpes 1 and 2 last summer. I have been struggling with infertility for 11 years, have had many failed IVF cycles although do have a son conceived naturally 8 years ago. I am 45. On my last IVF cycle (with donor eggs) I was on suppression therapy for the herpes. I managed to get pregnant for the first time with IVF but then miscarried at 7 weeks. I had stopped taking the acyclovir at 3 weeks. I did have a very minor outbreak of herpes about 3 days before th miscarriage. Now I am not sure whether the acyclovir or the herpes outbreak caused the miscarriage or if it was a coincidence. I don't know what to do for the best on my next cycle whether to take acyclovir or not. I am so confused. I just want to do the right thing but don't know any more what that is and noone seems to have any information about herpes because it has such a stigma attached to it. Please help. So desperate for a little brother or sister for my little boy. ange -
Dr. Sher-
Your last comment on this page said that herpes and acyclovir would not compromise an IVF cycle. I had a FET this morning, and later this evening noticed I have an outbreak starting (been HSV-2 positive for 10+ years). I am on suppressive therapy for my slightly abnormal NK cells and elevated ATA. I assume the suppression of my immune system has allowed the HSV to become activated, should I take Acyclovir, or would that just counter my attempts to suppress my immune system? Will this flare up affect the way my immune system treats the (hopefully) implanting embryo?
Thank you!

Flood Fargo with service, not water
Artists direct efforts toward volunteering
Published: Thursday, May 3, 2012
Updated: Thursday, May 3, 2012 16:05
A conglomerate between NDSU, the Plains Art Museum and FirstLink are celebrating this spring. Why? That's easy: There's no flooding!
Over 3 million sandbags and over 40,000 hours; that's what it takes to contain the Red River when it reaches 41 feet. EngageU, a "think and do" tank founded by Michael Strand and comprised of interdisciplinary students, put on their thinking caps and wondered: What the community could accomplish if even five percent of that effort were directed to service?
What they came up with is called R.I.S.E., or River Inspired Service Engine, and the goal is to flood the community not with water but service. Throughout the month of May, EngageU is working with FirstLink to coordinate volunteer opportunities for those eager to make a difference.
R.I.S.E is one of the Plains Art Museum's six projects called Flood Diversion, in which the museum helps artists create different interventions within the community. Megan Johnston, curator at the museum, says that they wanted to bring together artists for socially engaged practices of their craft. The idea came during the fall, and when spring arrived sans flood, they had to find a new direction for the effort.
They posed the problem to the EngageU group, who collectively hashed out an idea of giving back and channeling a volunteer mentality within Fargo to build the community. Instead of setting to work on an object-based project, the artists went to work raising awareness.
"I think artists have a really intuitive way of coming together and collaborating, and that's one of the things that we are all really interested in, is to hook up with other people to do more together than we could alone," Johnston explained.
The end result they hope to accomplish is a continued initiative to volunteer within the community not just for a month but yearlong. They are also looking to learn from this, to see what works and what doesn't for future efforts. In this way, R.I.S.E. serves as a sort of pilot experiment.
Things you can expect to see during May include posters, bus wraps and kits that provide direction toward volunteer opportunities. Also on display at the museum will be a "waterometer," and the water level on it will decrease as the number of volunteers increases. For more information on the campaign and opportunities throughout the month, go to http://www.engage-u.org.

Question of the Day
Hey UK, Are You Glad That Margaret Thatcher Is Dead?
Britain's first female prime minister passed away this morning after a stroke, leaving a relatively mixed legacy behind. I wanted to see whether a mention of the Iron Lady still manages to provoke as visceral a response in death as it did when she was alive, so I had a walk aroun…
Sorry Guys, Americans Love Obama's Killer Drones
Most Americans, including Democrats, are totally cool with the US continuing to kill people in foreign countries on the say-so of "informed, high-level" officials alone, so Obama's got no reason to change his drone policies.

Forums >General Running>Boston Marathon
So I'm running the Boston Marathon this coming April and was looking for advice as to where to stay, would preffer to stay close to the finish line, any suggestions??
Might be something of interest in various previous discussions, here's a few:
One here
I would run down the lane and into the night; Run so fast I swear my feet would fly; But the smell of the world came into my lungs; The sound of the gravel when my legs went numb; And my heart nearly burst right out of my chest...
Thank you !!
Excellent suggestions !!
I don't know how long you plan on being in Boston, but I will be there for 5 days and to save on meals at restaurants, I chose to rent a condo near Copley Square. $300 a night, fully equipped kitchen, laundry, etc... Sleeps 3 (one bedroom and one pull-out couch in living room), but I'm only traveling with my SIL, so we split in half. Well worth it for me. I found the place on VRBO.
PRs: Boston Marathon, 3:27, April 15th 2013
Cornwall Half-Marathon, 1:35, April 27th 2013
3 years, 13 marathons, 13 BQs
Another great idea, thank you happylilly, I'm planning on staying in Boston from Sat. April12- Tue. April 16 and than take a drive to Portsmouth N.H. for the rest of the week.

The first time that you access Rackspace Cloud Storage App for Microsoft SharePoint, and every time that you want to log back in after logging out, you are prompted to provide credentials for your Rackspace Cloud Files account. In order for the app to access your Cloud Files account, you must assign it some credentials and a metadata key that has access to Cloud Files. The metadata key is required to support the generation of temporary URLs. You can provide the credentials and metadata key in one of the following ways:
In the Create New Account form (shown in the following figure), provide credentials for a new user, and provide a metadata key. The app creates the user and sets the metadata key for your Cloud Files account. The user's credentials are saved and used to access Cloud Files.
The values that you specify at the top of the form (user name, password, and email address) are the attributes associated with the newly created user, and the metadata key is assigned to your Cloud Files account. The fields at the bottom of the form (in the dark gray box) are the credentials that the app uses to create the new user and set the metadata key. The app does not retain these credentials. They are typically the credentials that you use to log in to the Rackspace Cloud Control Panel.
If you already use other applications to connect to your Cloud Files account via the REST APIs, then you do not want to change your metadata key, and you might already have created an API-specific user for the other applications. In this scenario, provide credentials directly to the app.
At the top of the Create New Account form, click the Already have an account? link. In the Account Info form (shown in the following figure), specify the user name, password, and metadata key for the existing account. The app saves these credentials and uses them to access the Cloud Files APIs.
After you set up the credentials, you can start using the app. The information in the next article, How to Access Cloud Files Containers, provides details on accessing files in the Cloud Storage app.

If you have ever wondered or dreamed about the perfect bed and breakfast this B&B will be the fulfillment of your dreams. This bit of heaven is run by two sisters, Andrea and Katherine. They are both very friendly, helpful and wonderful cooks. Our room was to say the least spacious with high vaulted ceilings. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and the decor airy and inviting. Each day we seemed to find some wonderful detail in our room that our hostesses thought of to provide their guests with an experience par excellence. There is a workout out area that includes weights, a barbell with weights, a stability ball and even a tread mill. Now for the best part, the breakfasts. Amazing is the word that comes to mind. Each morning we feasted on fresh assorted berries, juice and cappuccinos. This was followed by a mouthwatering entree of french toast, omelets nicely filled with fresh vegetables or blueberry pancakes. These entrees were accompanied by either bacon or fresh chicken sausage. Every item was made with quality ingredients. During our stay we felt very comfortable in our room and with our hostesses. Andrea and Katherine engaged in lively and informative conversation while at the same time respecting our privacy. My husband and I would love to stay here every time we come to California to visit our daughter. We feel very blessed to have found this gem in Venice, California.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Palms Guest House. The room was fantastic - spacious, included everything we could possibly want - fridge, drinking glasses and corkscrew, treadmill, iron, balcony, cable and wifi... An extremely comfortable stay. Andrea and Katherine were great hosts. They were friendly, made a wonderful breakfast, and gave us good recommendations on the area. I would return without a doubt!

My husband and I stayed at the palms guesthouse for 2 nights at the very end of a three month trip. The room is very spacious, it's large bright and even has a small upstairs where you can sit on the balcony. The room has everything you could want, they have thought about everything you could want, not to mention the lovely cookies left daily! The bed is lovely and comfortable and the silky sheets are divine. Breakfast was delicious and you are able to have whatever you fancy. Katherine and Andrea were lovely and kind, and it was nice talking to them at breakfast. We also used the bikes which was great. I loved staying here, I just wish it would have been for longer. Great little place. Thank you!

We rented the Palms Guest House for a quick anniversary getaway. Upon arrival, our great hosts had a bottle of champagne waiting for us to kickoff our celebration. The accomodations were clean, tidy and comfortable. There were tons of additional ammenities. As many others have mentioed here, the loaner bikes are a big bonus. We rode them each day down to Venice Beach. But what really impressed me was breakfast. Without a doubt these were the best blueberry pancakes I've ever had! Rounded out with freshly squeezed OJ, a delicious fruit cup, very tasty coffee, and the morning paper, I was very pleased. And I can't say enough about our hosts. They were extremely nice and courteous, and went out of their way to make us very comfortable. We definitely recommend the Palms Guest House, and hope to come back again soon.

My wife planned out our trip and when she asked if I was OK with the Palms Guest House, I merely asked if there was off street parking and she replied there was. I have to admit that I was very surprised at how nice of an experience our stay was. We stayed two nights. Great accommodations, food and conversations with our hosts.

We just loved the place and them! The room is bigger than it appears in internet! The breakfast was very well prepaired and the bikes... We used every day!! Awesome! Thanks a lot for these stay!

It's taken me awhile to write this review but this place was so enjoyable and was so perfect that I didn't want to pass on letting others know about it. We were greeted by Katherine and was pleasantly surprised when she showed us the accommodations which were spacious, clean, bright and well appointed. The bed was comfortable, the location was great, the breakfast was excellent. You can't go wrong with this B&B.
5 on August 08, 2013
My husband and I recently returned home from a two-week vacation to CA. We traveled from LA to San Francisco, staying in bed and breakfasts the whole way. The Palms Guest House was by far the best. The food, the accommodations and the company were all FABULOUS! Anyone visiting the LA area should not miss a chance to stay at the Palms Guest House. You will love it!
5 on July 28, 2013
As soon as we opened the door to our accommodation we knew we had found the wow factor. Contemporary, clean and functional, including many extras such as milk and bottled water in the fridge, biscuits left for is on a plate each afyernoon, the use of bikes and beach chairs, make up remover wipes, books, magazines, treadmill, weights....I could go on and on. We even had a kettle to brew tea which had been sadly lacking in all our hotels during our trip to US. Our teenage son loved his bed in the loft. Katherine and Andrea were the perfect hostesses . Loved the breakfasts. Loved everything!

My wife and I stayed 3 wonderful nights in mid-July. The accommodations were excellent....and the ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE THINGS were noticed by both of us. From the band-aid in the bathroom drawer to the exotic bath-wash in the shower - each were very nice touches. We especially enjoyed utilizing the two available cruiser bikes as we took the easy 1-mile ride down Venice Blvd to the bike trail and beach. We went up and down the coast on those bikes, taking in the beauty of California coast. We took advantage of the home-grown knowledge of both Katherine and Andrea -- having our best meal, of the weekend, following one of their recommendations. We look forward to our next visit - FOR SURE. Randy and Beth Seevers Elk Grove, CA

We just spent the 4th of July at this wonderful Inn in Venice, CA. Located in a lovely neighborhood, the accommodations are separate from the main house. The two-story room was very comfortable and relaxing for our party of three adults. There is a daybed in the easy-to-reach loft as well as a Queen bed in the main room. Sisters Katherine and Andrea are terrific hosts, providing delicious breakfasts (adjusted to the varying tastes of us all) in the open-air atrium of the main house. They were so warm and welcoming we felt like family. I hope to visit again soon.
5 on July 03, 2013
This is a lovely, perfect place to stay. The wonderful ladies love what they are doing and you won't miss a single thing.... even things in your very, very pretty and spacy room you've never even thought of.... they did :-) Perfect homemade braekfast and everything sooooooo clean, you could even "eat from the floor" as we say in Germany. Will definetely return, if we'll travel to this area! Highly recommendable!!!

Spent 3 lovely days at the Palms Guest House. Lovely, light and airy accommodation, with great attention to detail. Used the owners' bikes to cycle down to Santa Monica.Breakfast was sumptous, and served out in the courtyard. Why would you stay in a hotel when you can have this level of comfort and service for less money?
5 on March 12, 2013
If you would like to stay in an enchanting home not far from the Pacific Ocean, this is your spot. If you like charming, quiet Southern California neighborhoods (with sidewalks and pretty houses), this is where to go. If you like having someone wonderful cook you a gourmet breakfast...served up with the best linen napkins and fine place settings, head to this heavenly haven. That's what we would compare it to...a little slice of heaven. The only bad thing was LEAVING. We did not want to go! Katherine spoiled us so much by loaning us bikes, taking us to the Getty Institute and even packed us breakfast to take on our early morning flight. We smiled, as we opened our goodies on the jet and asked ourselves...could it be any better than this? It was all outstanding and if you are reading this...just stop reading reviews and call them right now!
4.8 on February 27, 2013
Katherine was more than helpful and made my short stay very personal and a real delight. She lent me a bike and filled me with wine in the evening. Highly recommendable.

Hi Andrea! We just arrived home to Portland last night as we visited with family and shared our top experiences of our honeymoon with them and reminisced about the wedding which was so fun :) It reminded me of the first time we shared some wedding stories after the Big Day, which was when we visited over breakfast together at your house! Last night we told our family that our stay with you was one of our best experiences of the two-week trip up the coast, and that you set the bar super high for our bed and breakfast expectations. :) Just to let you know, we definitely look forward in seeing you again sometime in the future and will recommend you to any of our relatives who need a good vacation away from home near the coast. Can't wait to bake your cookies! Thanks for the recipe and for an awesome start to our married lives! Happy 2013 to you! Jonathan

This was our very first time staying at a b&b and it was phenomenal! Our honeymoon consists of a drive up the PCH and we have several B&Bs reserved along the way and this one has certainly set the bar high!! I loved every minute of our stay. Andrea, our hostess, stayed up late to greet us as we were coming in from our wedding. She is extremely nice and very hospitable. She goes above and beyond to make this a special experience. We were sad that we only booked this place for one night. I would have loved to taste more of her amazing food, which by the way is provided in abundance. We were not at all hungry for lunch, thats how full we were!!!! I would def. come back if ever given the opportunity!! :)
5 on December 15, 2012
The guest house was clean, comfortable, & spacious. The food: delicious & filling. 5 stars! And the hosts, Andrea & Katherine, were the best part!! They were so accommodating and generous. My wife & I wanted to see a show at a local play house; they not only helped us get discount tickets, they picked the tickets up for us. Great place, even better people!!
5 on November 07, 2012
Andrea and Katherine are excellent hosts and ensured that our stay exceeded our expectations. The breakfasts were amazing and their hospitality and beautiful accommodation was exceptional. They could have done no more to make our stay memorable and we would certainly recommend and return.

Großzügiges und wirklich toll und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Appartement. Großartiges Frühstück und ganz besonders freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Absolut empfehlenswert.
5 on September 04, 2012
We´ve spent 3 nights at Palms Guest House as a party of 3 and had a great time! After travelling for 3 weeks it was a very pleasant end of our vacation. Andrea Mesi was a wonderful host, who not only served an excellent breakfast but also gave us lots of inspirations for our stay. The room was so spacious, clean and with so many amenities - we felt at home from the first moment on. Thanks a lot and as we said, we hope to be back one day. If only the flight wasn´t so long.
5 on August 31, 2012
My husband and I stayed at the Palms Guest house last week, and were amazed by the fantastic quality of not only the service, but the guest house itself, and the amazing breakfasts! Andrea and Katherine were extremely welcoming, and very helpful in directing us toward interesting things to do in L.A. We will definitely stay there again if we are in the area, and would recommend it to anyone!
5 on August 12, 2012
if they will be staying in Venice Beach the same time as you. These wonderful ladies have only one guest room and you will want it for yourself. Not only for the large, comfortable room with every amenity you can think of (and some you haven't even thought of yet), but also for the excellent home made breakfasts and delightful talks over coffe with the most gracious, accomodating hosts of any of the b&b's we have ever stayed at. I confess, neither of us wanted to leave. Andrea and Katherine, we can't wait to come back. L and L
4.6 on August 11, 2012
The place itself is beautiful, and spacious, packed with windows and decks and -- while we were there -- perfect sunshine.
5 on July 19, 2012
We liked a lot this very charming B&B. We have seen many places in european and north american countries and this was definitely one of the best ones and is highly recommended. We got - a lot of useful hints (restaurants, tourist info) - a very good breakfast - a very comfortable bed in a spaceous room and a lot more. Further the location is excellent - not too far from Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and Airport. The neighborhood is friendly, and some restaurants are in walking distance (10 Minutes). Day and night the place was very quiet - that helped a lot in overcoming the jetlag in a short time. Thanks for the hospitality!
4.6 on May 13, 2012
My wife and I stayed 4 nights here and had a great stay. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable with three balconies. There is free WiFi in the room and we had free use of 2 bikes which we used on an all day bike ride along the beaches. Katherine and Andrea were very knowledgeable about the area and gave us great suggestions on places to visit and things to do. The breakfasts were different each day and all were excellent. They were good hosts and interesting and friendly people to talk with. We would go back again for sure and highly recommend this Guest House.
5 on May 06, 2012
The two sisters who run Palms Guest House are very friendly, helpful and wonderful cooks. We've stayed in many hotels and b&b's in the Santa Monica area and this is by far the best.
5 on May 04, 2012
This is a very comfortable B&B and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. They also are gourmet cooks and the food was outstanding. The place is charming, modern and comfortable. Both my husband and I highly recommend it.
5 on March 15, 2012
An absolute delight in every way! Due to plane delays we arrived very late but were still graciously received by Katherine and handed the key to truly warm, clean and very spacious guest quarters which immediately made us forget the long and tiring trip getting there. The bed, the shower, the balcony … all are amazing and every morning we were invited into our hosts dining room for fresh fruit, pancakes and sausages one day, french toast the other and a daily copy of the local newspaper made sure we were up to date with the goings on around town. We'll be back!!!
5 on February 24, 2012
Andrea and Katherine, made us feel welcome from the very first handshake. We have been travelling around the US for the last month and a half and feel we know a little about spending the night somewhere! We spent 3 nights here...location to so many areas great.....quiet and relaxing.....breakfast; just come and try....photos do not do it justice.

My husband and I stayed 5 days over Thanksgiving, 2011, to meet our new grandson. Our daughter lives nearby and recommended it. So convenient, quiet, so perfect. In follow up to another review, there are drawers now. We can't think of anything that is needed, and concur with the other rave reviews. When you walk into the room, it feels spacious, light, and welcoming, with a soft breeze available by just opening a window. Balconies if you want to relax outdoors. The breakfasts were outstanding. Andrea and Katherine are wonderful hostesses and we even met their gracious mother. There were surprises and treats and they accommodated any anticipated need in advance. Lovely neighborhood. We walked for miles. We felt so pampered, yet like family. Everything was so spotless in our guesthouse and I loved going to their home and environment every morning. This is a gem and so are Katherine and Andrea. We will go back. I wish it was today!

My wife and I stayed here on a January 2012 weekend. Not knowing what to expect, we were delighted by the very large, very clean, beautifully decorated room. We also appreciated the amount of light pouring in. The only "negative" was the lack of a bath tub, though the shower was fine. Here are a few other things that made this a great place to stay: 1) Very large and comfortable bed with luxurious sheets. 2) A delicious breakfast where we were offered choices to accommodate our dietary needs. 3) A pleasant neighborhood setting, accessible to everything we needed. 4) Reasonable pricing for LA. 5) An exercise area that was like having your own fitness club! 6) Lots of extras (towels, robes, tissues, shampoo, toiletry items in case you forgot something). 7) Numerous books, pamphlets and maps to help visitors discover LA. 8) Very gracious hosts. We'll be back -in fact, we already made reservations!
5 on November 01, 2011
Stay August 2011. We found it last minute(probably the price was even more competitive than usual).we were two couples and we stayed beautifully in the loft.the innkeepers were full of suggestions for visiting Venice-Santa Monica -LA.Breakfast was different and abundant everyday.We had almost every evening coming back complimentary cookies freshly baked!
4.8 on September 18, 2011
We chose this B&B based on the rave reviews and can only agree with them all. We stayed four nights while visiting our daughter, a first trip to LA. Loved the spaciousness, quiet location, decor, and delicious breakfasts. So much nicer than a hotel room, and more private than most b&b's. The hosts are the icing on the cake: so friendly, accommodating, and helpful. A loan of bicycles was a great treat. Thank you Katherine and Andrea!
4.8 on August 22, 2011
We stayed at the Palms for a week while visiting our son who lives in Culver City. This is a perfect location for Hollywood, the Getty Museum, Marina del Ray, Venice, and Santa Monica - as well as Los Angeles downtown! The "room" is a very spacious living area, where we could spend hours without feeling cramped or hemmed in as we would have in a hotel room. The breakfast was gourmet - EVERY day, with elegant linens and every amenity provided. The hosts were extremely accomodating and helpful with suggestions, directions and recommendations. Only one, minor thing would have made it better: DRAWERS! There were no dressers or drawers for clothing, and staying for a whole week it would have been so nice to be able to sort out our clothing better. There was a closet for hanging things, and the bathroom had tons of space and storage, just no dressers for underclothes, jewelry, etc. We'd go back in a minute!
4.8 on August 16, 2011
I have traveled quite extensively and have seldom arrived at a new B&B where I felt at home so quickly. The suite is clean, airy and full of light. The breakfasts were all gourmet, and the sweet dispositions and delightful conversations with the innkeepers was more than I could have ever hoped for. I love these beautiful sisters.
5 on August 12, 2011
This bed and breakfast is a true gem. When I arrived in the late afternoon, I was warmly greeted by both of the two sisters who are the owners and hostesses. The offered me cookies, cheese and fruit, and wine. The bed and breakfast unit is over the garage and separate from the main house, so it is very private. The unit is very large, with high ceilings, and a loft with an extra bed + trundle. There are three balconies. The whole unit is filled with light, and the ocean breezes provide great ventilation. The breakfasts are delicious, with plenty of fresh fruit. The hostesses are happy to tailor the breakfasts to individual taste. They are also very knowledgeable about what to do and see in Venice and the surrounding area. Palms Guest House definitely deserves five stars. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
5 on July 19, 2011
Our hosts were wonderful. The room is beautiful and very spacious. The neighborhood is very quiet and the breakfast is absolutely delightful. Thanks a lot to Andrea and Katherine. We will come back.
5 on July 14, 2011
The guest house has the comfort and ambiance of a luxury cottage. The amenities are all first cabin and then some. The cool breezes of a beach community and the ultra-comfortable bed will lull you off to sleep almost as soon as your head touches the "indulgence" pillows. I sipped my morning coffee on one of the three decks before descending to the main house for a finely prepared and delicious breakfast; complete with coffee of choice, paper and served on linens with silver and china service (breakfast can be tailored to individual preferences/needs). The hostesses, Andrea and Katherine are delightful and made the stay all the more memorable. They are extremely knowledagble regarding the arts, music, outdoor activities, places of interest, dining, sightseeing, etc. and are excellent advisors on what to do and see in both the local and surrounding areas. I can't wait to go back!

The innkeepers are not only exceptional hosts but serve an outstanding breakfast meal. Accomodations are roomy and relaxing, yet not far from the beach as well as the many other Venice attractions. The innkeepers proved to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful in pointing out places of interest. We stayed nearly a week. Delightful.

Posted: 27 September 2011 at 1:07pm |
I just installed an e-grip on my new tippman a5. In the process, i either lost, or failed to notice that it had been lost earlier, my velocity adjustment screw for the a5. Now, i've attempted to fire the gun, and the egrip is obviously activating, and after manually cocking, and firing, the marker activates with a dull thud, and doesn't reset. My question is this. Is the lack of velocity adjuster causing this problem? Or do i have a problem with how i installed the egrip? Or a problem with how i put the working parts back in? I'm waiting on a parts kit for a new velocity adj screw, but im wondering if i can just block the hole with another screw just to see if that the problem, or if i have something else i should be fixing while i wait. Anyone encounter this problem before?

Ok. I figured out the problem. The only question now remains is that if it's possible to replace the velocity screw with something else while im waiting, or if it's a specialized screw.

Those who have lived in Florida long enough to recognize the waxing and waning seasonal population will inevitably ask about the summer workload at Town Hall, the number of service requests we receive, and where I am going for my vacation this year. After my initial chuckle and the subsequent quizzical looks, I try to explain that, for local governmental agencies, summer is a very busy and important time.
As I discussed in my previous column, summer is the time when all of the Community Development District (CDD) Boards and the Inter-District Authority (IDA) work to present their budgets to residents for input and participation. Because the budget is the single most important policy-setting document an agency can have, the public input and approval process sets the tone and the workflow for the entire fiscal year. All CDD budgets were approved in August and the maintenance assessments set at the public hearings will be on your next tax bill.
One such project approved for the upcoming fiscal year (FY 2013) is the re-paving and repair of the main roads in Lakewood Ranch Country Club. The entire span of Masters Avenue will be repaved, as well as Legacy Boulevard from Masters Avenue up to the Clubhouse. Staff will be bidding out the project soon and hope to have a contractor selected in October.
This will allow us to complete all of the improvements before the holidays. When the project begins, there will be a Web page available on lakewoodranchgov.org with all of the project details so that you can be aware of any temporary detours and plan your travel route accordingly.
In a couple of weeks, Saturday, Sept. 22, Town Hall will team up with Grow Financial Federal Credit Union to offer Lakewood Ranch residents our very first free Community Shred Day. Residents can bring in personal documents, such as medical and financial records, credit card statements, canceled checks, insurance forms, receipts, and junk mail such as pre-approved offers of credit to be shredded 9 a.m. to noon. As many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year; shredding your documents helps prevent thieves from stealing your personal information. Only paper documents will be accepted (no discs or tapes) and please limit your shredding to two boxes (24 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches). The north drop-off location will be the Grow Financial branch, at State Road 64 and Lakewood Ranch Boulevard. The south drop-off location will be Lakewood Ranch Town Hall.
One of the most exciting projects on the horizon is the construction of the new operations and maintenance facility. Currently, staff is working with Atkins North America, Inc. on the building design and we anticipate the start of construction this winter. We will also dedicate a project webpage on the Town Hall website with pertinent updates and progress photos, so make sure you check in often to stay up-to-date with the latest project information.
Finally, just a reminder that Town Hall provides a monthly resident orientation session for anyone who may be interested in learning more about how Lakewood Ranch operates.
So, if you are ready for a refresher, are new to the area, or simply want to understand the various entities that comprise Town Hall, please consider attending the 2-hour session. We discuss community development districts, homeowners' associations, the Inter-District Authority, the operations department, the finance department, Community Activities Corporation and general governance information. The next orientation is 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 26. Please RSVP to 907-0202 or email me at email@example.com if you have any questions.
Eva Rey is the executive director for Lakewood Ranch Town Hall.

Cancer is just about the most unfunny thing there is. I should know. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, 1996.
So much of the experience in Cancer World is so grim and scary, that eventually you have to laugh again just to feel alive. And when you laugh you breathe deeply and open to the wonder and fun of life again.
I combined laughter with art, my other most favorite activity and made Cancer Comics. Everything in the comics is true and happened to me.
I hope the comics make you laugh and feel better. And if you have had something funny happen to you that you think belongs in Cancer Comics, write to me with the story and I'll make a comic of it using your name and add it to the book.

Kingfisher Airlines falls 5.5% to 19 rupees a share in Bombay, after an initial 12% drop pushed the stock to 17.70 rupees, its lowest level in four months. The fall comes after a report that Chairman Vijay Mallya has been asked by Indian authorities to explain the latest round of flight cuts and that the carrier risks losing its flying license.
The Press Trust of India reports that the directorate general of civil aviation was mulling canceling Kingfisher's flying license after the airline submitted a flight schedule reducing the number of planes it would operate to 15-16.

Quote:I agree on the oag suggestion. It will make all potential guiding issues go away. I would use it on any focal length scope because its easy and it works. I suggest the qsi583wsg. It's an awesome camera and it has the low read noise that you need for narrowband. It also comes in an elegant package with integrated filter wheel and oag. Not cheap but. Worth the investment in my opinion. You won't have to deal with clunky filter wheels and separate oag's.
Quote: would also prefer to do AP with smaller refractors and camera. I have an EQ6 with EQ Mod. I also have an orion guider a short tube 80, an 80mm WO ED and a R200ss. I do also have a Cannon EOS lens adapter and like the idea of small wide field lenses.To the mount, the EQ6 is pretty heavy, I do see iOptron has some new mounts, that appear lighter, but not sure if they are any good
