Revisiting the Ferrari 288 GTO: Still outrageous, almost 30 years later
The homologation special that birthed a legend.
By September 22, 2013 / Photos by James Mann
Throughout the history of the automobile there have been cars that mark watershed moments. The Ferrari F40 isnt one of them, but the 288 GTO is. Why, you may ask protest, even when the F40 is generally acknowledged to be the most exciting supercar of all? Well, because its not unfair to suggest that without the 288 there would be no F40 and arguably no F1, no Veyron. Youre looking at the original hypercar and yes, there is a distinction. When the 288 took a bow at the Geneva Salon in March 1984 incidentally, that was after Porsches Gruppe B concept, but two years before the 959 road car it spawned about the fastest and most outrageous car around was the Lamborghini Countach, perhaps the very definition of a supercar. Yet the 288 blew that car not to mention Ferraris own Testarossa, launched the same year into the weeds.
So it was a pioneer, but, just as importantly, has there ever been a better-looking high-performance mid-engined sports car? Prettier ones, perhaps the Miura springs to mind here but never one so perfectly proportioned, so perfectly melding pure aggression with beauty, so... right. Taking the lead from its own 1977 308 GTB Speciale, Pininfarina created a car that, from some angles, retains an air of 308, but only in so far as you can see remnants of Bruce Banners trousers around the Incredible Hulks waist. Squat and foursquare on the road, the 288 pulses with muscular purpose. Perhaps you could question those mirrors do they need to be so big? but they suit the overall sense of form following function.
Youve got to love any car that swaggers around with its gearbox casing hanging out the back, with the arrogance of a half-mast pair of gangster jeans. Likewise the trio of gills in the rear wings, which give a nod to the original 62 GTO yet avoid any sense of cliché or retro-lameness by having a clear job to do.
In a quiet moment during the shoot, as the exhausts tinkle gently and the photographers shutter chatters away, I find myself counting up the profusion of vents, scoops, intakes and louvers that criss-cross the composite bodywork: 140, in case youre interested, all sucking in air or spitting it out in an effort to keep the V8 cool and keep the tires in contact with the deck.
For me, it warrants inclusion in a list of Pininfarinas greatest designs, alongside 250 SWB, 275 GTB and Daytona. Oh, and F40 fans look away now, because to my eyes it also avoids the pseudo-racer look that means Ive never taken to its successor in the same way. Theres an irony here: the F40 was designed to look like a race car but built purely as a road car; the 288 appears as a steroid-injected 308, yet was created to homologate a spectacular new race car hence the revival (for the first time) of that most evocative of monikers, Gran Turismo Omologato.
The series in which it was designed to race was Group B, the circuit-based arm of rallyings most outrageous formula. This demanded 200 production cars though just over 270 would be built, all sold long before launch to selected special customers featuring the bulk of the racers technology. More affordable than a pure prototype, it tempted Enzo to re-enter the sports-racing fray with a works effort for the first time in over a decade. The fact that the world was in the midst of the 80s supercar boom, so the road-going examples would likely be snapped up, made it a win-win for Maranello.
Sadly, however, Group B was far slower to take off on track than on the stages. Before Ferrari got ready to go head-to-head with the 959, Henri Toivonen was dead and Group B was shelved for being too fast; too dangerous.
We should all be grateful that its star burned so brightly however briefly because without it Ferrari would never have taken the mild-mannered 308 and from it created a monster.
Not that theres a lot of 308 left in there. Yes, their alloy engine blocks are related, but the 288s V8 motor owes more to Lancias sports-racing program than it does to its junior supercar cousin. With a 1 mm shorter stroke reducing capacity from 2967 to 2855 cc, the engine allowed for the FIAs 1.4 equivalency formula for turbocharging and still snuck in beneath the 4000cc class limit. Moreover, in a 288 it isnt even transversely mounted, but turned through 90º to lie longitudinally, with a transaxle gearbox and integral locking differential where the 308s boot would be, flanked by a pair of intercooled IHI turbochargers. Chuck in twin overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, a dry sump and Weber-Marelli electronic fuel injection and you have a pretty exotic cocktail, one potent enough to yield a whopping 140 hp per liter not to mention neatly lowering the center of gravity and ensuring perfect 50:50 weight distribution.
A crash diet to stay beneath the 1100 kg weight limit for Group B a fully trimmed road car is a little over led to the use of Kevlar for the panels and in the composite bulkheads. And yet, for all of that, theres something delightfully traditional about the GTO: it still uses a tubular-steel chassis and the doors are a product of good old aluminum and hand-craftsmanship
Despite the 110 mm-longer wheelbase, that new engine layout pushes the cabin forward, something you notice after pulling the delicate door latch and tumbling gracelessly in, almost braining yourself on the steeply raked A-pillar.
Once inside, you feel as if you are virtually sitting over the front wheels. Before shutting the door, DKs Jeremy Cottingham has a final word of caution: this car has caught out more than one motoring hack. Its far trickier than an F40, says Cottingham. Its very important to have good tires on these or they drive like dogs.
Oh come off it Jeremy, surely this is nothing more than a warmed-up 308? Which means that we already know how this test is going to go, dont we? Orange-on-black Veglia dials; three-spoke Momo wheel; open gearlever gate; curiously unappealing blare from the flat-plane crank V8; notchy into second until the box warms up; sublime balance without the pace to fully exploit the chassis. So far, so standard 1980s Ferrari apart from the push-starter, de rigueur in the 2000s but unusual for this era. Lovely, but nothing groundbreaking.
Besides, it seems to be a real pussycat at first. The steering has barely any kickback, the ride soaks up bumps testament to the use of conventional rubber bushing and at lower RPM the V8 is smooth and refined, even docile. The interior is comfortable, the gearbox simple to learn, plus you can see out of the windows.
Chassis 57491 even has rare factory air-conditioning, not that its wheezing fan does much good on a day like today. But for goodness sake dont let it think youre getting complacent. Dont let it lull you into believing you have it mastered. Clunk the chromed lever left and back into the dogleg first; release the abrupt but not too sharp clutch to pull away; short-shift to second, out on to the first straight bit of road and level the throttle.
Like all 288s its a left-hooker, and the pedals are mounted way over towards the center-line of the car, so far away that the clutch is almost in line with the steering wheel. Past 2000 rpm, 3000 whats that whistling, whooshing noise? 4000 rpm... holy cow! What happened there?
Dont panic, back off, regroup, try again. Up to 4000 RPM, the little boost needle in the gauge that nestles between the rev counter (redlined at 7750 rpm) and 320 kph speedo flicks around to 11.6 PSI of pressure; pass 5000 rpm and the rear tires are squirming, the steering wheel is twitching, the performance is utterly bewitching.
More than in any other car Ive driven, I find myself being fastidious in getting all braking and gear-changing done before turning in, holding the throttle steady until the wheels are completely straight, then feeding that power back in. Im not sure whether its the cars value or its reputation for biting back that worries me more, but they are both valid.
In a world where you can buy a production hatchback with 355 hp, the idea of a supercar with only 400 hp seems odd, yet in 1984 this was Ferraris most powerful road car engine, and in race trim it was capable of up to 650 hp. And that hot hatch is 705 lbs heavier than the flyweight GTO, which has a terrifyingly small contact patch with which to deliver that power to the rear wheels only, remember. The center-lock Speedline split-rims are wrapped with 225/50 front, 255/50 rear ZR16s doughnuts in comparison to modern rubber-band tires.
The steering, though, is a delight. Packed with feel, its perfectly weighted and perfectly geared: not so sharp that a sneeze would have you in the bushes, but beautifully accurate, so the 288 is intuitive to place despite its width and the difficulty of seeing the plunging nose. Not that its light. Theres no assistance and in tighter bends it soon loads up, yet that need to muscle the car along only adds to your faith in it, feeling for the grip as if rubbing your palms along the tarmac. The famed Hill Route of Millbrook Proving Ground is like an Alpine pass in miniature, physical and hugely involving even if you find yourself yearning for the straights to be a little bit longer, for a chance to stretch the car properly before diving back on to the brakes.
When you do, be wary because it weaves around, seeking out fissures in the surface and following them. Yet the braking is monstrous and from cold, too: none of this getting heat into the rotors that the ceramic composites of modern supercars suffer. Here you just have metal with a bit of ventilation, and the result is huge initial bite and fantastic pedal feel.
That the 288 GTO is still so outrageous, a year before it celebrates its 30th birthday, just highlights what a phenomenal creation this was. When it combines all of that with such significance in Maranello history, plus the all-important rarity, it shouldnt be a surprise to learn that owning one of these cars, in this kind of fettle, requires a near-£1m investment.
In 1984, two of the most revered names from Ferraris past were revived: Testarossa and GTO. The former seemed an incongruous moniker for a car that bore so little relation to its forebear; the latter was perfectly fitting. And surely there can be no greater compliment than that.

Filmmaker Signe Baumane IN PERSON after the 7pm show Friday, Saturday & Sunday!
In the new animated gem Rocks in My Pockets, Latvian-born artist and filmmaker Signe Baumane tells five fantastical tales based on the courageous women in her family and their battles with madness. With boundless imagination and a twisted sense of humor, she has created daring stories of art, romance, marriage, nature, business, and Eastern European upheaval—all in the fight for her own sanity. Employing a unique, beautifully textured combination of papier-mâché stop-motion and classic hand-drawn animation (with inspiration from Jan Svankmajer and Bill Plympton), Baumane has produced a poignant and often hilarious tale of mystery, mental health, redemption and survival. Winner Of The International Film Critics (fipresci) Prize Karlovy Vary International Film Fest. In English. 2014. USA. 88 mins.
In this exposé, an intrepid group of Florida farmworkers battle to defeat the $4 trillion global supermarket industry through their ingenious Fair Food program, which partners with growers and retailers to improve working conditions for farm laborers in the United States.
There is more interest in food these days than ever, yet there is very little interest in the hands that pick it. Farmworkers, the foundation of our fresh food industry, are routinely abused and robbed of wages. In extreme cases they can be beaten, sexually harassed or even enslaved – all within the borders of the United States.
Food Chains reveals the human cost in our food supply and the complicity of large buyers of produce like fast food and supermarkets. Fast food is big, but supermarkets are bigger – earning $4 trillion globally. They have tremendous power over the agricultural system. Over the past 3 decades they have drained revenue from their supply chain leaving farmworkers in poverty and forced to work under subhuman conditions. Yet many take no responsibility for this.
The narrative of the film focuses on an intrepid and highly lauded group of tomato pickers from Southern Florida – the Coalition of Immokalee Workers or CIW – who are revolutionizing farm labor. Their story is one of hope and promise for the triumph of morality over corporate greed – to ensure a dignified life for farm workers and a more humane, transparent food chain.
Food Chains premiered at the 2014 Berlin Film Festival and screened subsequently at the Tribeca Film Festival and Guadalajara Film Festival. Food Chains will be released nationwide November 21st. The film's Executive Producers include Eva Longoria and Eric Schlosser.

Pop music tackles tough subjects like war, racism and inequality. Music evolves with the times, helping frame our vision of the world. So why, when Christmas rolls around, are we still stuck roasting tired old chestnuts with Nat King Cole? Are there any songs that embrace our modern, eclectic,conflicted, but still beloved Christmas celebration? Is there no music to inspire our slightly cranky, somewhat jaded, yet sincerely searching souls?
There is! But these scrappy slices of vinyl can be hard to find. Jingle Bell Rocks! will take you on a trippy, cinematic sleighride to unearth to unearth twelve of the most amazing Christmas songs ever recorded. With titles like, "Green Chri$tma$," "Santa Claus Was a Black Man" or "Merry Christmas Someone" these funny, sad, satirical, and scathing songs explore the flipside of the Yuletide: racial inequality, religious freedom, nuclear war, family angst, conspicuous consumption, or just the yearning sadness of being alone at the happiest time of the year.
Jingle Bell Rocks! follows Christmas music junkie Mitchell Kezin as he unveils twelve of his most cherished, alternative Christmas songs. Hitting the road to uncover the stories inside the grooves, Mitchell hangs with his holiday heroes — musicians, deejays, record execs, radio hosts, composers, critics and fellow collectors — who share his passion. NYC's hip hop archivist & music writer Bill Adler, Chicago rock promoter Andy Cirzan and LA Water Works laborer Tim Sewell are three of the world's legendary Christmas music fanatics who will open up their hearts and their astonishing collections.
We'll feature exclusive conversations with the artists behind the music: from hiphop legend Joseph "Rev Run" Simmons of RUN DMC, to late 60s folk pop family The Free Design, from alt pop chanteuse Erin Moran of A Girl Called Eddy to "Schoolhouse Rock" creator & genuine hillbilly bebopper Bob Dorough, who wrote and sang the caustic "Blue Xmas (To Whom It May Concern)" — a landmark collaboration with jazz giant Miles Davis. Amid this merry mayhem, we'll hear irreverent and insightful commentary from figures including L.A. DJ and musicologist Dr. Demento, and Canadian radio legend David Wisdom.
Through rollicking live performances, intimate interviews and a kaleidoscope of touching and kooky archive, we'll journey deep into the Christmas cosmos, uncovering the remarkable stories behind twelve of the weirdest, wildest, most poignant Christmas songs you've never heard. Equal parts social history, pop culture pilgrimage and revealing character study, Jingle Bell Rocks! follows this motley crew of merry misfits as they confront the Christmas music mainstream, reinventing the seasonal soundtrack for the 21st century.

One of our most successful fashion exports and perhaps the most favoured British designer amongst insiders, Jonathan Saunders' shows are always a hot ticket. Showing this season in The Tanks Lobby within The Tate Modern, Saunders had conceived an ingenious scheme for the show space. Walking into the majestic Turbine Hall we were greeted with a cloud of smoke creating a close atmosphere - this was then reflected with the use of strategically placed mirrors on an angle, allowing glimpses of the runway and its audience from all the angles of the room.
When the girls finally stepped out, the scene was already charged with anticipation. First up was a run of looks which played with holographic fabrications - the pencil skirt and bomber jacket were instant FROW hits. Following this futuristic bent, we then watched a line up which drew from a disperate array of references. From 90's spaghetti strap slips to 70's sunglasses to geometric 60's psychasdelic prints this collection wove itself through decades worth of fashion to create a modern new vision.
Particularly strong looks included a colour blocked suits which clashed scarlet and burgundy, a dress emblazoned with floaty tea-drop motifs embellished with pailettes and a silver, black and green sequinned slip - an ultimate party show-stopper. This season's mega trend - stripes - was also well represented in Saunders' collection with holographic horizontal lines seen in tailoring and seperates and chevron stripes featured on dresses. Sheer fabrics - another major direction for S/S 2013 - were also integrated into colour blocked dresses adding a sensual quality to the striking frocks.
There was office appropriate tailoring, eveningwear and super cool pieces that will defintely impress your friends - basically this was a collection that ran the full gamut of what we look to fashion to do for us - inspire, excite and practically furnish our wardrobes. We say job well done Mr Saunders!

Taking Customer Communications Management Beyond Legacy Systems
Continued growth- whether organically or through M&A - is vital for a bank's ongoing health. But with growth comes challenges, particularly in the area of Customer Communications Management. Without question, optimizing and modernizing customer communications is essential for banks that are looking to grow. However, banks that are still using legacy systems and old processes to generate customer communications may find that their systems are holding them back.
The ROI of Mobile Photo Bill Pay
Banks are looking for new ways to increase profitability. Enabling mobile bill payment is a huge opportunity to forge stronger and more lasting bonds with their customers as a mean means to increase profitability. According to Aite Group, only about 15 percent of U.S consumers' currently pay their bills through their banks. Banks looking to seize this "85% opportunity" face considerable competition, not to mention the current difficulties in onboarding payees. Overcoming these barriers will improve banks' ability to attract and retain mobile banking users, especially the increasingly important 20- to 35-year-olds who rely on their smartphones to handle most tasks and transactions in their lives.
Seizing Revenue Through Payments Services
For the last decade, the payments industry has rapidly become one of the most dynamic growth drivers in financial services. Traditional payment methods have evolved, new methods have been introduced and new entrants have emerged. The result is a significant increase in payment transaction volumes amidst a highly competitive and specialized industry.
Increasing Transparency & Reducing Risk in a Rapidly Evolving World of OTC Derivatives

Reduce Revenue Leakage and Gain Operational Efficiencies: The Benefits of Consolidating Billing Systems
Competing in the financial services landscape is as complex as ever with players existing in an ever-changing environment with new pressures from regulations, customer expectations and margin compression. Firms deal with a broad set of product and service offerings that traditionally may have been handled in silos, but are now expected to be consistent in client experience, risk management and more. These changes are directly affecting the way firms look at their revenue management practices including pricing and billing. As the market continues to transform, there will be firms that respond appropriately and will be clear winners.
Next Generation Sales Enablement: Do you have what it takes to build the sales agent desktop of the future?
The complexity and competitiveness of the financial services industry demands a robust sales enablement capability.

Does your firm empower its sales executives and services reps with everything they need to drive acquisition, retention, and cross selling? Join industry experts Julio Gomez and Jim Dickie as they highlight the evolution of sales enablement and unveil the next generation approach that will quickly become a requirement in today's fiercely competitive landscape.
Capacity Management Evolved: How to Optimize VM Placement to Mitigate Risk, Right-Size Infrastructure and Cut Software Costs in Half
Many IT shops are still relying on outdated capacity management approaches that have not been designed to deal with the high-density, highly-automated, demand-driven virtual and cloud environments of today. As such. they are struggling with solutions that were designed for a bygone physical era when environments were static and planning was less frequent – solutions that are simply not useful in today's modern world. Cloud and virtual infrastructures demand more sophisticated methods, while infrequent management approaches must give way to more continuous control and modern capacity control systems need to determine where to place workloads and how to size infrastructure in order to minimize operational risks and significantly reduce key costs.
Better Operational Decisions Webinar Series: How to Speed Credit Approvals with Next Generation Business Rules

Stress Testing: The New Frontier for Risk and Finance
Financial institutions are facing expanded stress testing requirements, adding to the complexity of day-to-day operations. . While this more prescriptive oversight and operational burden historically may not be welcome by most, this new focus on risk management presents an important opportunity for financial institutions to rethink their approach to the discipline.
DDoS Protection or Site Performance: A rock and a hard place?
In this webinar, IDC Financial Insights explores the challenges and solutions the financial industry faces in providing both protection from attacks and strategies that improve the customer experience. While mobile, cloud, social networking provide significant convenience to customers, and business benefits to the financial industry, they also provide a growing base of opportunities for cyber-attacks designed to steal, tarnish reputations, and cause financial harm.
The Future of Mobile Development in Financial Services
Financial services companies, whether insurers or banks, are not shy about the possibilities for mobile technology to improve their customer relations or organizational agility. But mobile technology advances rapidly, and that puts pressure on companies' development organizations to discover and implement capabilities that leverage the main attractions of the channel -- location awareness and anytime, anywhere access -- on devices of different form factor or capabilities. Indeed, three years after the introduction of the iPad, tablet computers are poised to outstrip traditional PCs and become the major online portal for many financial services customers.
Using Security Visualization and Predictive Threat Modeling to Manage Network Complexity and Control Access Risk
Financial institutions spend billions of dollars on firewalls, proxies, routers and other devices to prevent unauthorized access to their network, but security breaches continue to plague the industry.
The Integrated Advisor Desktop - Leveraging Digital Channels to Enhance the Advisor-Client Relationship
Today's investors are more hands on and more likely to actively seek investment advice. Research shows that investors who communicate and collaborate with their advisor electronically pay more for the guidance they receive. But most financial firms -- saddled with traditional, siloed CRM systems -- struggle to engage with their clients through digital channels while maintaining the same level of advice, service and regulatory compliance as traditional methods of communication.
Leveraging Customer Insight for Business Growth
Retail banking is facing many challenges as technology allows customers to choose from diverse banking options, from branch banking to smart phones. Banks have also extended their reach from local to national and global markets. Without the consistent customer engagement models that were successful in the past, how can financial institutions measure and monitor success with a whole new set of engagement models?
Reducing Software Licensing Costs in Virtual & Cloud Infrastructure with Smarter VM Placements
Most organizations that license software such as Windows, SQL Server and Oracle on a per processor or per host basis are spending far more than is required on licensing. Because VM placements are typically driven by basic utilization criteria, and not more sophisticated business or technical policies, these software components tend to spread randomly across physical servers, necessitating a large licensing footprint. This creates an opportunity to save in excess of 50% of existing costs, but achieving this requires a fundamental shift in how VM placements are managed within virtual environments. Join CiRBA CTO & co-founder Andrew Hillier to learn how to contain licenses and control costs with predictive analytics that profile workloads to optimize placements by both:
Enabling High-Performance Trading Alpha: Beyond Low Latency to Sustained Performance
As global financial markets become more interconnected and diverse, trading environments are increasingly dynamic and responsive to real-time conditions. Participants across the trading value chain seek to capture new business opportunities while mitigating risks associated with the added volatility in today's financial markets. Achieving this goal requires trading platforms that provide flexibility and offer insight and intelligence that feed into optimized trading strategies.
Creating an Integrated View: Incorporating MDM Technology into a Legal Entity Identifier Solution
The lack of a standard identification system for financial counterparties makes it difficult for financial firms to develop a consistent and integrated view of their exposures, such as in the case of default of counterparty. This is a challenge not only for firms, but also creates an obstacle for regulators to aggregate and share information to effectively monitor risks. A robust Master Data Management (MDM) solution helps financial institutions implement Legal Entity Identifiers in order to better understand their business and better respond to regulations, like Dodd-Frank.
Raising the Bar for Online Customer Experience Management: Good for Customers, Great for Profits
In financial services, optimizing customers' digital experiences can increase acquisition, cross-sell products, improve customer retention and decrease support costs. In this Webcast, you will see how best-in-class website designs drive business results, and how new smart content and product strategies are being launched.

Mozart: Wind Serenades
Archive ServiceCDA66887
Movement 1: Allegro
Movement 2: Andante
Movement 3: Minuetto in Canone
Movement 4: Allegro
Mozart's friend Joseph Haydn probably provided the influence for the last two movements. Described as 'Menuetto in Canone', the third follows Haydn's precedent in Symphony No 44 (another minor-keyed work, though in E minor) in being in strict canon, while the trio provides an inverted answer to the oboe's theme. Such contrapuntal fireworks are rare in Mozart and unheard of in other 'entertainment' music of the serenade/divertimento kind. The composer was determined that his listeners should really listen! For the finale he turns to another Haydn device: variations. He even comes close to borrowing a Haydn theme (Symphony No 42, finale, also variations) but treats it rather differently. An intriguing succession of variations explores unusual instrumental combinations in which every member of the octet enjoys moments of glory. A last-moment gesture to relieve tension: the final variation is in the major.
This serenade, like K375, was also the subject of second thoughts, for in the spring of 1787 Mozart rescored it for string quintet (K406). For this recording of the original wind version the Camden Music Original Mozart Edition was used. It corrects some 350 errors which had crept into earlier editions by Breitkopf und Härtel and others. Mozart's final page of the autograph is missing. For this edition Camden Music reconstructed it from the string quintet version.

- ShezVIPDined on 11/25/2014Always enjoy outdoor dining at Twenty 6 and assistance of manager, Robert! It is a lovely setting on the patio and is also dog friendly!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upscale baroregonDined on 11/8/2014Drinks and breakfast/brunch are best things here. Food good, but rather strange pairings-- salmon with chorizo? Companion had beet salad and raved! Drinks are perfectly poured (read heavy!). Wait staff very on top! Affordable. Eat outside and enjoy the view!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, Great AtmospheretonyinthedesertDined on 11/5/2014Went there for a birthday celebration - there were 6 of us. The wait staff is very personable, as was the manager. Great Bacon infused Bloody Marys - never can pass those up. Had some flatbread appetizers, someone had the picnic salad, the rest of us had French Dip - based on the recommendation of the manager. Everything was excellent. Have to go back to try some other appetizers/entrees. The presentation was great with the food served on planks. While pricey - I say you get what you pay for - great food and service. Also the peanut butter pie was delicious, as well as the pumpkin cake pops. Will be recommending to friends and will be back soon.Special Features:
- Super ServiceTampaDined on 10/25/2014The food was great but the service super! Friendly, helpful but not overpowering. I would quite highly recommend the patio dining experience. (The inside is quite noisy.)Special Features:
- Not as good as the first timeCoryADined on 10/18/2014The first time there with my wife, everything was excellent. This recent time was a Saturday night with a group of friends. We got stuck in an awkward corner room table and the server seemed to forget about us for a very long time. Nor did the server take any appetizer orders or provide adequate water refills. The food was great, although a bit over priced.
- Unexpected Hotel surpriseMrMinerDined on 10/12/2014Farm to table, good beers, outdoor, bar and dining seating. Expensive entrees and breakfast - bar and snacks are reasonableSpecial Features:
- Mixed feelingsJudaleeDined on 10/12/2014We wanted to go somewhere for a late lunch with family. We had no idea it was a sports bar. Had we known that we wouldn't have gone. This restaurant is located on the grounds of the beautiful La Quinta Resort but you walk through the loud bar scene to the restaurant. After being seated waiters kept passing our table without saying anything & after a considerable amount of time my husband stopped one of them & asked for a waiter as we could see a "prep" area where several were standing & talking. The same guy came back & asked if he could get us anything. We said we'd like drinks & water & menus.He says OK & leaves never to return & after a few minutes a waitress comes over & she was great& the food & drinks were excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- you askedthankskdVIPDined on 10/1/2014our early dinner proved delicious and relaxing , yet exciting to see the food presentation. each dish had a distingtive taste, one a diner could recognize and appreciate. we look forward to returning to TWENTY6 very soon.Special Features:
- Very niceelyseVIPDined on 9/27/2014We loved the outdoor dining location, lovely live music and the hum of people around the resort. The food was good including the unique purple pickled cauliflower! The service was very friendly and nice, but clearly wait staff & kitchen not on the same page. Enjoyed walking around after dinner and shopping at the stores which are right there. We would go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Easy & ok on day of resort arrivalOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/23/2014Nothing special but hit the spot after a long day of travel. Asian salad with chicken was pretty good. Ribs were ok.
- Don't waste your timeVictoriaDined on 9/13/2014Terrible menu, unless you're say, 13 or so. Tater tots? Really? TV dinner? Really? I'm guessing the chef thinks these items are clever or cute, maybe even trendy. Next time I'll stay home thank you. Service was quite good but they need a real chef to work with. What they have heading up the kitchen now is a clown.Special Features:
- Dinner2foodiesDined on 9/6/2014Can't say enough about the Filet Oscar. Just a taste explosion. Steak was prepared perfectly and even though there was a lot going on the plate it all married perfectly. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. Service was excellent and chef took care of our birthday guest very well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TV dinnerPamdeniseVIPDined on 8/20/2014Had the TV dinner which was pork very tender in a special sauce didn't like the peas an they gave me broccoli very accommodating. Our waiter Gilbert was excellent always knew when we needed something. Matt the manager which was new introduced himself an made us feel very welcomed. We love twenty six we feel we r eatting at home. We love using open table😀Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the Caprese salad!blueingreenVIPDined on 8/10/2014I usually have french onion soup and a flatbread for lunch here, but this visit it was too hot for soup so I tried the Caprese salad. It's a noodle salad, and absolutely delicious. Really fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. But all the food here is great, and I always love visiting La Quinta Resort and checking out the latest flowers--such a gorgeous setting.Special Features:
- Great serviceraginaDined on 8/2/2014We dined on Saturday, 8/2/14 and had a lovely time. The food was really good and waiters were fabulous. I have to mention that the pretzel bread rolls with the mustard butter were just so great. We had the prime rib special and the fettuccine dinners, both were quite good. If I find myself back in LaQuinta, this will be my dinner spot!!Special Features:

- Best of the resortHappyDinerDined on 6/21/2014We ate dinner, lunch, and had cocktails and appetizers at the bar over four days at the resort. Twenty6 is definitely our favorite restaurant at La Quinta. Food and service was great every time.Special Features:

- Pleasant SurprizeFrequentflyersVIPDined on 5/24/2014I am somewhat jaded when it comes to hotel restraints especially the b/l/d venues. We gad a ZgC from our family so after a spa we went for lunch at Twenty-Six on a Saturday. Very pleasantly surprised. Service was but not overbearing, friendly and glad to see us. We are outside on the spacious patio - casual but civilized. We chose salads, my partner the mandarin with grilled salmon. Vegetables were crisp in a light but flavourful dressing and the salmon grilled perfectly. I had the classic Cobb salad and it was one of the best I have had in a long term. They stick to the traditional ingredients so that the right mix of flavours comes through. A repeat visit is warranted.Special Features:
- brunchkittyDined on 5/24/2014This is definitely the place to go for brunch, but they do not take reservations so go early. It is nice to sit outside but gets super hot in the afternoon so I would recommend sitting inside if you're going for lunch. The cheese platter is awesome!Special Features:
- YuckjenydDined on 5/3/2014Avoid this place. Poor service and very mediocre, overpriced food.

- DisappointedChelleDined on 4/11/2014Love the LQ Resort so wanted to try one of their restaurants. Ignored for most of the first 30 minutes while MANY employees buzzed around doing a lot of nothing. Waiter was apathetic, food was really good but I felt way over priced.Special Features:

- Eat outsideJimmDined on 3/28/2014No room for us outside on the patio so four of us ate indoors. Not the greatest inside, wished we were on the patio.Special Features:
- A Taste of Old WorldJammyDined on 3/26/2014The ambience is outstanding. To be sitting in the middle of history is an awesome adventure. The area is like a classic old European courtyard that is well cared for. The cobbled drive and walkways project an old world feel. Truly worth a visit for families,groups or just a romantic dinner or brunch. The menu is uncluttered but appeals to all pallets. We will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delightful dining al frescoSoozieqzVIPDined on 3/20/2014Had a great dinner, enjoyed dining outside on a perfect desert evening!

US presidential election campaign heats up
With less than three months to go before the US presidential elections, campaigning has moved up a gear with President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney going head to head on the big election themes. This week, social issues have dominated the headlines after Republican Senator Todd Akin sparked controversy with his remarks about "legitimate rape". He apologised for the inappropriate choice of vocabulary after the statement, but the row has polarised supporters of both camps.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Pop star Katy Perry is sporting a skin-tight minidress with President Barack Obama's campaign slogan "Forward" emblazoned across it at the president's rally in Milwaukee.
Perry came on stage at Saturday's event initially wearing a red, white and blue dress and holding a microphone shaped like the Statue of Liberty's torch.
But after her first song, a cover of Al Green's soul hit "Let's Stay Together," she tossed aside the dress to reveal the bright blue minidress.
Obama's slogan "Forward" is also Wisconsin's state motto.
Perry paused midway through her set to make a pitch for donations to victims of Superstorm Sandy.
Obama's rally with Perry comes before he's set to be in Madison on Monday with rocker Bruce Springsteen.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Forget seeing the leader of the free world.
Eight-year-old McKenzie Heindenreich of Janesville was waiting in line for President Barack Obama's rally in Milwaukee not to see him, but his opening act pop star Katy Perry.
McKenzie and her family were among the thousands who braved temperatures in the mid-30s waiting to get inside the Delta Center in downtown Milwaukee for the Obama rally.
Obama campaign spokesman Joe Zepecki says about 9,000 can fit in the area where a stage for Perry's performance was set up to the side of Obama's podium.
On Monday, Obama is bringing Bruce Springsteen to Madison for his final Wisconsin campaign stop before the election.
Perry is expected to play for about 30 minutes before Obama's speech Saturday.

ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (AP) — President Barack Obama will be campaigning in Milwaukee on Saturday as part of a multistate swing before Tuesday's election.
His campaign announced the stop on Wednesday. The president is also campaigning in Green Bay on Thursday morning.
The two new stops come as a Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday shows Obama leading Republican Mitt Romney 51 percent to 43 percent in Wisconsin.
The poll of 1,243 likely voters was done between Oct. 25 and Sunday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
Romney plans to campaign near Milwaukee on Friday.
Both running mates, Paul Ryan and Joe Biden, are also campaigning in Wisconsin this week.

Arthur Conan Doyle never wasted time in getting his stories moving. His plots are always direct and refreshingly lucid, and the narrative has a velocity that sweeps you along right to the end. This was no doubt a large part of his immense worldwide success. Not surprisingly, each time he tried to end the series, his fans would howl in protest. But, as he says in the preface to his last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, all good things must come to an end. And so it is with this series, as we have now arrived at the end of the Sherlock Holmes tales, Conan Doyle's most magnificent creation.
This last volume contains one novel, The Valley of Fear, and two collections of short stories: His Last Bow and The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes.

Reading is one of life's greatest pleasures...and, now that I've found audiobooks, I can read even while performing mundane tasks!
"a list of what you'll find in Volume 3"
His Last Bow (short stories, published 1908-1913, 1917)
The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge
The Adventure of the Cardboard Box*(see below)
The Adventure of the Red Circle
The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans
The Adventure of the Dying Detective
The Adventure of Lady Frances Carfax
The Adventure of the Devil's Foot
His Last Bow (told in the third person)
The Valley of Fear (Serialized novel published 1914-1915)
The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes (short stories, published 1921-1927)
The Adventure of the The Illustrious Client
The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier (Holmes narrates)
The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone (told in the third person)
The Adventure of the Three Gables

The Problem of Thor Bridge
The Adventure of the Creeping Man
The Adventure of the Lion's Man (Holmes narrates)

The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place
The Adventure of the Retired Colourman
*(The Adventure of the Cardboard Box chronologically appears in the canon in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - circa 1892-1893 - but, for some reason, appears in this Volume 3 audiobook.)
"Complete at last"
Volume 3 finally finishes the Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes. Included among the 3 volumes are every short story and novel that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote starring this illustrious detective. No library is complete without Sherlock Holmes on the (proverbial) shelf.
A part-time buffoon and ersatz scholar specializing in BS, pedantry, schmaltz and cultural coprophagia.
"Like a literary dress form stand"
The last Third of the Arthur Conan Doyle canon was solid, just not his greatest. All in all, I think 'His Last Bow' is probably under appreciated, 'Valley of Fear' was solid, and the 'Case-book of Sherlock Holmes' seemed spotty and almost called-in. Together, however, it was a great bargan and I'm glad I stuck with this series. IT was a very elegant and efficient way to work through Sherlock Holmes.
'His Last Bow' (****):
I was surprised at how good 'His Last Bow' was. While not an absolute masterpiece like 'The Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes', it is easily on par with 'The Return of Sherlock Holmes'. I think part of the genius of Sherlock Holmes is how easily the primary charcter allows for adaption to the patterns of the time and the age he is read. Sherlock Holmes is like a literary dress form stand, upon which the fashions of every age can and do hang.
'Valley of Fear' (****):
ACD's last novel (novella?) isn't as masterful as 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' but it's still classic Doyle. It reminded me a lot of 'The Sign of Four', exept the Mormons are now replaced with the Scowrers. I'm probably repeating myself from earlier reviews of ACD's novels, but Doyle is a born writer of short fiction and his novels just don't carry the same punch or force, and seem like watered-down/diluted versions of his better stories.
'Case-Book of Sherock Holmes' (***1/2):
My least favorite of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story collections. Probably 3.5 stars, but all but a couple stories remind me of listening to the Rolling Stones post 2000 (appreciate the work, but it is obvious the exceptional stuff was done 20 years previous). Still here and there I found the 'Case-Book' enjoyable, the rest of the stories seemed phoned in. Doyle wasn't carving new channels here, but his craft was still formidable.
Anyway, I love Sherlock Holmes.
"Elementary My Dear Watson"
Yes, the stories are really great and the narration is superb.
He brings out all of the characters voices in a wonderful way, and he is a really good entertainer.
"Great Story And Great Narrator"
I enjoyed this series when i read the stories years ago. It was enjoyable having the story read to me by Mr Griffin. The voices were pretty good and the women were pretty much in the same voice. As to the reviewer who commented that the voices were done by older people, especially the women, They were all done by Mr Griffin!! The story was acted, not just read in a monotone as other books i have listened to.
"Thoughts on Sherlock Holmes"
Sweet short stories that have great variety that I can listen to several times and not get board.
All the stories in this volume were so different than the ones the other 2 volumes
The outstanding change and character that he brings in to all the voices and accents! Just amazing!
No, it is a great book but it is broken in to short stories so it is really nice to listen to when you dont have a lot of time to focus on one book.
"SH is timelesss!"
The performance of the pure literature of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and not an adaptation.
Story accuracy and attention to the original words used by the author.
No real selection!
I am not sure if I would like to really meet Sherlock Holmes! He is a very arogant individual, but genuinely smart people ar e, generally, arrogany.
"Solid Collection"
The Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes, Volume 3 / B004LOPYW0
I really enjoy the Sherlock Holmes stories and books, so I was happy to find this available in audiobook form. The narration isn't as great as I'd like -- the narrator speaks a little too quickly for my tastes and some of his voices (particularly for female characters) sound a little distractingly silly -- but overall this is a solid compilation and I'm happy to have it. Note that while it's the "complete" stories, they're spread across three volumes, so you'll have to buy all three to have the total collection. Speaking of, I really wish the Audible application could show which track corresponds to which story (rather than just Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. for the whole kit and kaboodle) but that may be a technical limitation they couldn't get around.
Volume 3 consists of the novel "The Valley of Fear", and the stories in "His Last Bow" and "The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes".
"His Last Bow" contains the following stories:
- The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge
- The Adventure of the Red Circle
- The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans
- The Adventure of the Dying Detective
- The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax
- The Adventure of the Devil's Foot
- His Last Bow
"The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes" contains the following stories:
- The Adventure of the Illustrious Client
- The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier
- The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone
- The Adventure of the Three Gables
- The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire
- The Adventure of the Three Garridebs
- The Problem of Thor Bridge
- The Adventure of the Creeping Man
- The Adventure of the Lion's Mane
- The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger
- The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place
- The Adventure of the Retired Colourman
~ Ana Mardoll
"Make room in your brain attic for this one!"
Classic mystery fun
The plots definitely keep you engaged as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle plays up the romanticized thrills that would have kept "The Strand" readers pining for more each week. While the thrills will bring you in, I find that following the relationship of Sherlock and Watson will hold your engagement more resolutely,
Charlton Griffin really gets into each character, and his performance rarely sounds strained or tired.
"Absolutely captivating!"
The writings of Doyle and the narrator
Both Holmes and Watson
Too many to name
Sit back and enjoy
"excellent story, terrible narrator"
Excellent stories ruined by a narrator whose pronunciation jars so much it prevents one from enjoying the narrative. Four particularly infuriating examples from the early chapters of 'The valley of fear':
Hawlms instead of Homes, Seesell for Cecil, shawn for shone, and INkwerry instead of inQUIRy.
These come up repeatedly, and apart from Seesell, the others - especially Hawlms - will be reiterated throughout the whole book.
Please please can we have this quintessentially English book in spoken ENGLISH?

Flushes out your system - helps clear skin

I've been suffering from mild cystic acne since my early 30s. Topical treatments (Differin, salicylic acid, etc.) have had no effect on the frequency and severity of my breakouts so I ordered this after reading the reviews. I nearly abandoned the product after the first 3 days of usage. Prior to taking this product, I've never had gastrointestinal problems but for the first week of taking this probiotic, I had really severe bloating, indigestion and diarrhea. I'm glad that I reluctantly stuck to it because after 3 weeks of continued (and very uncomfortable) use, my initial stomach problems have disappeared and my skin has finally started to clear up! I think the initial problems were caused by the probiotics trying to flush out the junk in my system. I hope this works for other people suffering from cystic acne but I do suggest that you stick with it for at least 2 weeks.
I like it!

I have found these Probiotics to be the best i have tried. After 3 weeks i seem to have an ongoing yeast infection under control. My skin is clearer with fewer breakouts. However, it is still early days & time will tell...My fingers are crossed!
Starting with one a day worked for us.

Recommended dose per packaging is 2 capsules/day. Due to possible constipation or runs as a response to the "remodeling" of the balance in the intestinal tract, we decided to start with one per day and see how our bodies responded to that. My husband, mother and I all take these and all had different types and degrees of response. After a week our mild reactions had gone and we are all up to the recommended dose.

My son had severe cystic acne. Even with antibiotics and prescribed cleansers it would not clear up. We took him off all of those things and started with this probiotic. So far, he has been on it about a month and worst of it seems to be clearing. There are only a few small pimples left. There is still redness and scarring. Maybe with time that will go away too.

[QUOTE=Jetworks;4412485]So yesterday I had one of my many followup visits to my gastroenterologist. He told me that not only have my stomach ulcers not healed, but they have now spread to my duodenum. This comes as no shock to me given the stresses in my life, especially as of late where things have been substantially worse. Tougher still is I am something of a pragmatist, so trying to put a positive spin on things isn't easy for me.
I have come to the conclusion that I need to accept these things as part of life as I know it; I have also decided that I need to find some form of happiness within (God knows this team hasn't been able to help me with that!). I've heard some of the usual stuff (fake it until you make it, the 12 step acceptance prayer, zen stuff etc.). I am starting to take blocks of 5-10 minutes and just practice breathing whilst concentrating on one thing (Buddhist practice). It helps, but it isn't exactly an 'in the moment' solution.
Therefore I ask the sage minds of the Hampur; what works for you in managing stress and bringing about happiness?:)[/QUOTE]
Drinking. And lots of it.
Of course, you have to be a happy drunk first. If you're a miserable drunk, then forget that idea. Go back to Budda.
Otherwise, exercise. And remember, however shytty you're feeling, it could always be worse, so therefore, it's not so bad.
P.S. - What's a duodenum? Sounds like something you'd have to put the safe search filter to 'on'.

When are you on WBTI?
Saturday from 2:30pm to 7pm.
How long have you been in radio?
Not long, actually. November 23, 2013 was my first day!
Where are you from?
Good ole Marine City.
What's your favorite place to hangout in Port Huron?
Can't say I spend much time in POHO, but hopefully the new job at WBTI will change that!
Relationship status?
My girlfriend would like me to say in a relationship, soooo we will go with that.
Any pets?
A black lab, my mom would say she is the family's dog, but I know if Bella could talk, she would say otherwise.
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Chicken Tenders! I pretty much do this right now anyways, so no change would be necessary.
What's your all-time favorite movie?
Remember the Titans or Space Jam, I could watch both of these movies on repeat 24/7.
Describe yourself in 3 words:
Athletic, crazy, (Gregg St. Clair filled in two words. Apparently, there are ONLY two words to describe him).
Where would you live if you could live anywhere in the world?
North Carolina, I love America to much to leave it, and I would love the ocean type atmosphere
What's your most irrational fear?
Getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Even just the thought of a crunching sound as the tooth is being pulled makes me cringe!
Top 5 favorite musicians/bands?
Eminem, Tim McGraw, John Legend, Florida Georgia Line, and Imagine Dragons.

To fly, I hate having to wait so long to get to places, especially when there's traffic!

None really. My ADD wouldn't allow me to remember to watch a show weekly. Netflix is a savior, and I've been catching up on Breaking Bad. I am obsessed with it.
What's your most embarrassing moment?
I'm not sure if I have just ONE embarrassing moment that sticks out. If you were to follow me around for one day, I'm sure you would see a million embarrassing moments.
If you could choose a theme song for yourself, what would it be?
I had a hard time choosing one, so I went on google and found a "What's Your Theme Song" quiz, and took it. The result, "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Beddingfield. Interesting.
Is there anything else we need to know about you?
I guess we will just have to wait and see!
