Going from London to Winchester by train is easy, and the best way of making a day trip to Winchester from London. Trains to Winchester leave from London's Waterloo station, and there are several trains an hour, from early morning to late at night, operated by South West Trains. The journey time is just under or just over an hour, depending on the particular train you catch. The only thing to watch out for is that some services require a change of train at Basingstoke, so as there are plenty of direct trains, avoid the ones which require you to change.
Winchester Railway Station The railway station in Winchester is about a half-mile from the cathedral and main part of the city centre. It's an easy 10-minute walk. If you need to take a taxi then these are available at a taxi rank outside the station. You shouldn't need to book one ahead.
London to Winchester Train Times, Prices and Routes Check the current times and prices of trains from London to Winchester on the National Rail Enquiries website or direct with South West Trains. You can often find the best train ticket prices online at the Raileasy website or on thetrainline website.

Betty Rides Lucky Plaid Siouxsie Pant - Women's
Really cute, but not the best quality
The second I tried on these pants , I absolutely loved them . They were the perfect fit , and they look really good . The colour was nice and it went really well with my jacket. The flare at the bottom was the perfect amount to leave enough space for my snowboard boots to fit underneath , but still look like a slim fit . I wore them for a little less than a season , when all of a sudden they started to rip. The seam right at the crotch is starting to rip apart and all the belt loops are just falling off . Sure , I have a tad bit of a wide stance but the seam should not be ripping apart . Although these are not very good quality , they kept me warm and if I cant fix them , I will probably just end up buying another pair of the same ones . I read the other reviews , and everyone else's seemed to be problemless, so maybe I just got unlucky . Overall , this pants are very cute so of course I was pretty disappointed when they started to break . I think when mine wear out I will purchase a new pair of the same ones . I suggest these pants to any girls out looking for a slim fit pair of simple snowpants. These are by far the best fit I have seen out there , and I really love the zippers on the uper thighs . :)

Google had a major shutdown including all gmail they say it was not a hacker, that it was caused by their sync servers crashing. But there seems to be lingering issues. My husband has a notice on his saying not available or something. I would first, clear the cache and cookies on your browser. It might help. Also trying another browser. |

Can't get JS to redirect properly, please help.
I bought this neat script that redirects to different product sites, but the problem is that it isn't working exactly as it should. I'll be as detailed as possible and if you have any ideas how to fix it, please let me know.
Let's assume that the name of the script is "p.cgi". The way that it works is you upload a text file named "redirects.txt" to the same directory where the p.cgi is located.
The contents in the "redirects.txt" looks like this...
Code:1|http://www.mydomain.com/page1.html 2|http://www.mydomain.com/page2.html 3|http://www.anotherdomain.com/page3.html
If I go to http://www.mydomain.com/p.cgi?p=2, then it should redirect me to http://www.mydomain.com/page2.html... and so on.
The good news is that when I go to product 1 (p=1), it takes me to the "page1.html" like it should. But the bad news is that when I specify any other products, like p=2 or p=3, even though they are on the "redirects.txt" file, it does not recognize them and simply takes me straight to the main domain page at http://www.mydomain.com... which is specified as $mainurl in the script.
Here's parts of the script to help you see how it's written and where I think the problem lies...
First, the script opens like this...
Code:#### The file where your redirect page urls will be saved ##### $redirs = "redirects.txt"; #### Your main website url #### $mainurl = "http://www.mydomain.com";
Code:$prod = $FORM{'p'}; ############## open(LIST, "<$redirs"); @list1 = <LIST>; close(LIST); foreach $linea (@list1) { chop($linea); @tempa = split(/\|/,$linea); if($tempa[0] eq $prod) { $found = 1; } if($found eq "1") { print $query->redirect(-url=>"$tempa[1]"); exit; } else { print $query->redirect(-url=>"$mainurl"); exit; } }
Keep in mind that when I enter the "p=1" in the link, it works perfectly, but if I go to the links where I enter "p=2" or "p=3", then for some reason, the script does not recognize it and reads it as if there is nothing after the "p.cgi" and simply goes to the "else {", which means it redirects to the "$mainurl" (http://www.mydomain.com).
Any ideas and insights to fix this will be greatly appreciated.

This course offers an intensive introduction to the field of cyberlaw. We will investigate the evolving nature of online architecture and activities, and the ways in which the legal toolbox has been, and will be, leveraged to influence them.
The Internet operates in layers, and so does much of the technology that hooks up to it: PCs, mobile phones, tablets. Nearly two decades ago those platforms were conceptually simple: a "generative" base offered by one manufacturer, on which any third party could build. (Think: Windows and the programs that run on it.) Some efforts by platform makers to tip the scales in their favor in the layer above resulted in extended controversy and regulatory efforts, such as over Windows coming bundled with Internet Explorer. Today platforms are just as vital but far more complex. We have hybrids like the iOS and Android operating systems or the Facebook and Twitter platforms, where the platform makers offer their systems as services rather than products, influencing and sometimes outright limiting connection between users and independent developers for those platforms. How should we think about these new platforms? What counts as a "level playing field," and what responsibility, if any, is there for public authorities to enforce it? What lessons, if any, do the prior tangles offer for today?
We will discuss how an intelligence community's activities can be meaningfully communicated to the public while respecting its sources and methods; how agencies might internally reconcile their various missions to protect the public and protect public values; and what a set of authorities and limitations for intelligence collection might look like if a clean slate were available on which to develop them.
This course explores the American law of torts
This is a working seminar designed to explore these questions through a cluster of projects designed to cross theorizing with making.
Students in this course will work in teams to solve a series of hard problems related to cyberlaw and intellectual property, leveraging the problem-solving methodology of teaching used in the first-year winter Problem Solving Workshop.
This joint Harvard/Stanford interdisciplinary seminar will continue a year-long arc of developing and building ideas for a better internet.
This course explores the American law of torts -- the circumstances and theories under which people owe others money for wrongs they commit -- principally as a vehicle for understanding how the law operates and how lawyers help to argue and shape it.
This course will explore difficult problems in cyberlaw, presented by guests who must grapple with them. Guests will include academics, technologists, businesspeople, regulators, and social entrepreneurs whose puzzles may require solutions that span disciplines and approaches. Prerequisites: at least one course in cyberlaw or copyright. IMPORTANT NOTE: The course is jointly offered with Stanford Law School, and will meet at Stanford. Students from Harvard will have air transportation and lodging in Silicon Valley provided for the time they are in residence there during January term.
This seminar will be a vehicle to explore and evaluate current cutting edge issues in Internet law and policy, with the aim of honing three or four problems for further study in a separate class taught during the winter term -- "Cyberlaw: Difficult Problems." Prerequisites: at least one course in cyberlaw or copyright

By John H. Richardson
Courtesy of Yvon Lambert Gallery, Paris and New York
Deep in the heart of the San Fernando Valley, in a little cinder-block office that used to be a motel room, Carole Stevens is surrounded by memorabilia from her former students. There's a publicity shot from Robin Thicke's last record, a clipping of Toi Cook playing in the Super Bowl. She's proud that so many of them showed up for a recent ceremony commemorating the school's much-beloved founder. And she smiles with real happiness when she remembers the teenage boy who always wore the Cushman Academy sweatshirt even though it was against the rules. When the principal walked by, she would make him go into her bathroom and hide. Then he'd turn it inside out and make his escape. He was always like that, skating right on the edge of trouble, a charmer and a scamp, always turning other people into his accomplices. His best friend was a kid named Shane Conrad, and they were always thick as thieves, plotting one mysterious adventure after another. He was popular with girls and brilliant in the classroom, but he always had another agenda. And he always used to say, "Miss Stevens, I'm going to be a famous director. I'm going to win the Academy Award." And then he grew up to become Paul Thomas Anderson, the acclaimed director of Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, and There Will Be Blood. It's wonderful to think about, almost a fairy tale.
But then Stevens stops, puzzled and even a little sad. Although Anderson is one of the most autobiographical filmmakers of his generation, drawing heavily on his childhood in the San Fernando Valley, most stories about him offer some variation on "very little is known about his early years" or "little is known about Paul's childhood." He has stopped talking to most of his friends from those years, and none of them can say whether he just moved on naturally or broke with his past for some secret reason.
"When he did Magnolia," Stevens says, "I sent word through someone who worked with him to tell Paul it would be great if he could come back for a visit. I'd love to see him. And the answer came: 'Paul doesn't go back.'"
She pauses for a moment. "Isn't that strange?"
In all of Anderson's movies, people try to reinvent themselves in new identities. One character models himself on a gambler, another becomes a porn star, another comes up with a nutty scheme to escape his suffocating life through mass purchases of pudding. This is a theme Hollywood usually treats with the dark cynicism of All About Eve and The Hustler or the frothy glitz of The Sting and Ocean's Eleven, but the beautiful thing about Anderson is that he takes it all so personally. There's a tenderness to the way he treats his scammers and schemers and lonely midnight dreamers, love in the way he accommodates their fervent transformations. To him they're not weird Ratso Rizzo freaks; they're more like friends or family members, people he wants to give a little bit of hope or slap across the face a couple times to snap them to their senses. Even hit them with a rain of frogs if that's what it takes. There's a reason for this, and oddly enough, it is a reason he has tried very hard to keep hidden -- the history of his peculiar Hollywood childhood and his own ferocious hustle for transformation.
The story begins in Cleveland in the early 1960s, when a local TV station bought a bulk package of terrible horror movies and hired a born cutup named Ernie Anderson to be the host. Treating the subject with the seriousness it deserved, he called himself Ghoulardi and dressed in a lab coat with a fake Vandyke beard and horn-rimmed glasses, tossing out catchphrases like "stay sick, knifs" (fink spelled backward), "turn blue," and "ova deh." He liked to play "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" over a clip of an old hillbilly chomping his dinner. "He just did wacky things," remembers Tim Conway, who worked with Anderson in Cleveland before leading the way out to Hollywood. "He would pop up onscreen and say, 'This is the dumbest plot I've ever seen. You know who the killer is!'"
One time, Ernie rode a motorcycle through the studio. He liked tossing firecrackers around. Once, he stuck a firecracker in a dead frog and blew it up on camera.
When he followed Conway out to Los Angeles, Ernie made a fortune as a voice-over artist, narrating a thousand commercials and introducing shows like The Love Boat in a plummy baritone that always got the joke. He became the official voice of ABC and bought a big house in the San Fernando Valley, putting in a full-length oak bar and whiling away the long sunny days with friends like Conway, Harvey Korman, and Robert Ridgely -- all comics with a flair for twisted humor. Conway had regular spots on Laugh-In and The Carol Burnett Show, Korman appeared in High Anxiety and Blazing Saddles, Ridgely in Get Smart and Kung Fu. None of them took show business too seriously, and all of them liked to drink and have a good time. Conway says he sees Ernie in the porn director Burt Reynolds plays in Boogie Nights. The attitude that Burt had? That carefree, freewheeling guy? That was totally Ernie.
Paul was always underfoot, overshadowed by his many older siblings, worshipping his dad and trying to find a way into his inner circle. For the first eleven years of his life, he went to an elite private school called Buckley, set like a jewel among the mansions and jacaranda trees of south-of-the-boulevard Sherman Oaks. He ran with a group of rich kids that included a urologist's son named Steve Garrett, an entertainment lawyer's son named Alain Kalcheim, and Shane Conrad, son of actor Robert Conrad. Although everyone comments on his natural sweetness, they also say he had a sharp, jittery edge. The way Conway puts it, "He held a little bit of anger at a young age."
As Conrad remembers it, "He had a fucking mouth on him, and he was this skinny little shit. He was one of those crazy, manic, super-hyper guys who would just talk trash to anybody. If you could catch him, you could pound on him, but it was hard to catch him."
One time playing tennis, Paul got so mad, he threw his racket at Conrad. Another time, he elbowed Conrad's big brother in the face. "And my brother was six two. I was like, 'Dude, there's nothing I can do for you, my brother's going to beat your ass.'"
Around sixth grade, he left Buckley for brief stints at a couple more elite private schools, John Thomas Dye and Campbell Hall. Although the legend is he got kicked out for fighting, Buckley won't comment and Conrad doesn't remember any specific incident. "It was a coat-and-tie establishment, and Paul didn't really fit that mold," he says.
Part of the problem seems to have been hypoglycemia. "He was always trying to get his sugar balanced and not act like a madman," Conrad says. Another part was growing up with three sisters, plus another sister and four brothers from Ernie's first wife. "Anytime you take the only boy and surround him with three ladies, he's going to assume the favoritism is with the ladies," Conway says. Another part was his mother, Edwina, who was neither carefree nor freewheeling. Although his friends avoid this topic, there is a dash of her in the ugly little scene in Boogie Nights when the character played by Mark Wahlberg goes home to find his mother glowering in an armchair. On the director's commentary, Anderson says he wished the scene were half an hour longer -- half an hour! -- because it was "coming from a personal place" where he was too blinded by emotion to do his best job as storyteller. "Maybe it was too easy to think that she's nuts -- 'cause she is nuts. But why is she nuts?"
Then Ernie gave him one of the first video cameras to hit the market, a boxy old Betamax. He was about twelve, fresh from his break with Buckley, deeply in need of a stabilizing force -- and tellingly, his starter movies were all vignettes of Ernie and his rat pack of show-business buddies doing silly things. One time, they had a contest to see who could bake the best pie, but the pies were so awful, they ended up bringing in the family's Shetland pony to judge the contest. As the pony sniffed one pie and then another and finally made his choice, they laughed and laughed -- and Paul got it all on video.
Another time, one of the family dogs swallowed a whole orange and Ernie sat sentry until it passed the whole damn thing. Paul thought it was hilarious and videotaped it all.
Another time, on a trip to San Francisco, he got his father to dress up as a bum and wander the streets of Haight-Ashbury acting out vignettes with the hippies.
From the beginning, Conway says, he seemed to have a born sense of how the camera related to people and how to use images to tell a story. "Even if it was just pictures of us playing volleyball or swimming, he had a way of editing with his eye." And once he got an idea in his head, it was almost impossible to dislodge. "He was always taking pictures of us and always annoying us," Conway says. "We'd tell him to get lost."
Then they'd look over and he'd still be there with his Betamax on his shoulder, documenting another moment.

Intorducing our MCM First Lady Collection - Part Two! As you might have recognised, our First Ladies come in different colours, various shapes and with different details. BUT they all have one thing in common: their minimalistic design, their clean attitude, this very elegant twist in combination with a timeless chic and a super strong appeal. Maybe that's the fact that the bag's name comes from a real "First Lady" - a kind of hommage to Hillary Clinton ("Hillary" was its name till 1995)
Yesterday we presented you our first gift guide for the First Lady in bright yellow. Today we'd love to show you some style suggestions for the decent beige lovely! To be honest we are still impressed that there are endless styles for so many occasions - the First Lady Collection is worth every look, trust us!
MCM's First Lady Tote: Beige
Clean Shapes, architectonal silhouettes and a strong expression: The First Lady Tote in beige is deep love for the first sight. You can pair this lovely to EVERY outfit you like and it will always be the eye-catchy detail at your whole look. It offers much space without being pushy- It's the eye candy that relieved every search for the right outfit. Ach, we are so in love...
First look: Picnic Time!
Summer were are you? Actually the sun is not shining here in Berlin but we dream of a really beautiful summer offering a lot of free time outside. First thing to do: Having picnic in the park, good food and a laid back atmosphere. Your perfect look? Bold colours like red, stripes and a decent companion that fits perfectly to this amazing outfit. It's casual, it's recognisable and it's deeply sophisticated!
Second Look: Visiting a Vernissage
The best way to show you the changeability of this lovely, is a whole different look with exactly the same bag, right? No sooner said than done: Let's grab your First Lady and go to a vernissage or museum. Choose a classy look like your favourite blazer and the exactly fitting trousers, take a white shirt and jump in your black booties. C'est ca! It's a totally different look from your daytime picnic but it's exactly the same handbag! I really love the way this lovely can change it's look without doing anything. Impressed? I am!
Next lovely! The First Lady Boston
Handcrafted with original hide body and trim, this lovely combines minimalistic aesthetics, a feminine but clean silhouette and a voluminous interior. For me, this boston bag is the perfect combination of a daytime lover and the super hip doctor bags. You can switch between super chic events or everyday destinations. This Boston will be a super reliable friend in your life!
First Look: Ready for Your Best Friend's Wedding?
Be sure that you are not the most beautiful and extravagant lady at this occasion - 'cause somebody else has to be in the spotlight today- your First Lady! Nevertheless you can look as gorgeous as always. Smart, cute, feminine but CHIC! Let's grab your ultimate Ace, your First Lady Boston, take a beige (no white! for you today) suit and combine it with pastel tones like peachy shoes or a soft pink blouse. Your look is fresh, gentle and smart and the perfect outfit for such a happy event like your best friends wedding! Oh, we'd love to join you in this look!
Second Look: It's Brunch Time!
Imagine, it's Sunday morning, the sun is shining and you are invited to the most amazing weekend occasion ever: to your family's brunch! It's a bit like a garden party: you know everybody, you will feel comfortable and you can expect the best food ever. Which outfit could you choose for this casual event? Our MCM overall (which is for me, the most amazing item of MCM's Ready-to-Wear collection 2013), cool wooden wedges, a scarf that can be worn as a turban - and of course: your MCM First Lady Boston in beige. What a lovely, uncomplicated look, hmm?
I hope you feel inspired by this week's gift guide! And if you need help at any time with your personal MCM styles don't hesitate to ask us!
We love to help you <3
Enjoy your weekend!


text: I have several tracks labled "It's a Small World". Admittedly, I haven't listend to a fraction of what I've collected over the years. Each track is short, though. Only about three minutes at most. But then, isn't the whole ride just one song looped over and over anyway? I rarely ride that ride, and when I do there is zero wait so I don't even know what the load music is, to be honest. But if I can send you any of these shorter tracks, or if you have something specific in mind, let me know and I'll compare it against what I have.

Review of: Missing
reviewed by
Kip Whitaker
on 09/25/2006
Um ya,
I don't know if I fully get it. Maybe I am thick headed. For me, it was ok. Maybe I am not used to foreign ways of telling a story and maybe I don't want to be;) I say it was too simple for the amount of work and equipment and people used to create it. I think you need to aim higher, you seem to have the talent, people and equipment to do it:) I do realize it was shot in one day though, been there done that. That taken into consideration makes me like your short much more. Keep makin' movies:)!!

A review of Love Storyby Kip Whitaker on 11/17/2006This is crazy and very well done, in my opinion. The acting was very good and the ending was unexpected. Great little film with a pretty funny ending.The dialog seemed well written and the characters well rehearsed. I look forward to seeing some of your other films. Good luck in the future.
A review of Dracensteinby Kip Whitaker on 11/07/2006This is very funny, crazy and imaginative. People around here are doing great things and this is one of them. The animation is very well done for that style I thought. I hope you decide to make more animated films in the future. I will look for more of your films and try to check them out. Peace Kip
A review of The Ballad of Bernie Bearby Kip Whitaker on 10/23/2006I think this one is awesome. I like everything about it. A sinister fable, how can you not love this one? It was done in a very unique way and was very fun to watch. Pretty great for MiniDV, this is one of the best I have seen on here and very different from other films. Great job in my opinion.

My friend who lives about a mile north of me, called and asked me to come over and indentify a bird. she thinks it's an oriole. quite frankly, I have no idea what it is. We couldn't get a good pic yet. The back is brown, breast orange, and a yellow rump. It was eating orange with other orioles. same size as orioles. Could it be a crossbreed? |

"The whole family loved this soup. Although I'm not sure it's soup! It was very thick, more like goulash. I just used penne noodles and we didn't use the croutons as this is a texture issue with DH. I also added about 10 leaves of fresh basil and a bit of red wine. Will make again, very good."
"This worked out really well. I didn't measure anything and I cooked my eggs for another minute, I like them well done, LOL. I had 2 eggs that didn't want to peel easily, but the rest of them were fine and they are very pretty."
"This is the closest I have seen to my recipe. I use more bacon and I use chicken stock instead of water. Absolutely delicious recipe."
"I eat a lot of soup and I absolutely love this recipe. I didn't change much - I did season the chicken heavily with salt, pepper, onion powder, smoked paprika and chipotle powder and I only used one jalapeno. Next time I will use 2. I like a really brothy soup, so next time I will double the recipe and use the same amount of chicken and use Rotel...."
"We all enjoyed this casserole. I used very lean ground round and low fat soup and 2% cheese. I had to sub black beans - I thought I had a can of refried beans, but I didn't. It worked okay, although I think the refried would be better. I used chipotle taco seasoning. The guys really liked this, will make again."
"I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe. I always grill my corn, but thought I would give this a try. Couldn't be easier, tastes just like it came off the gas grill. Love it, will make again."
"This is really good, but a bit weak for me. Seems like the tea bags are smaller than they used to be, puzzling. At any rate, I added 2 more bags to another cup of boiling water and it was better. Will definitely use this method, just use more tea bags."
"This is delicious. Just made up a batch for a pool party and I used penne since that's what I had in the house. I also mixed up a bottle of Good Seasons Italian dressing and used that and I added just a bit of red onion. I used the feta with basil and tomato. I did use the salad supreme as well. Easy and will make again. Lots of possibilities with..."
"I thought I had rated these previously, but don't see my review. Made these yesterday to accompany grilled porterhouse. I added some garlic and green onion and used asiago and cheddar.

Loved our stay at the beautiful Confederate Inn. it is directly across from Forsyth Street Park. A wonderful place to walk and experience this historic part of Savannah. The Inn's owner is Colleen Williams a very gracious Southern lady. She makes you feel at home as soon as you come through the front door and into a magnificent ballroom. Our room was very nice with a large attached bath. Colleen had even prepared snacks for us in an upstairs sitting area. Our breakfast in the morning was delicious with French toast, fruit, juice, and coffee all served by candle light and using her fine china, crystal, and silver. Thank you Colleen. Hope to visit again soon.

My fiance' and I stayed at the Confederate Inn for two nights. We arrived on a Thursday and was warmly greeted by Ms. Colleen. When she realized that I was the bride-to-be, she quickly embraced me with the sweetest hug! There was always coffee and cakes out for us, and the breakfast we had both mornings was simply fabulous. I was extremely touched by her hospitality and the fact that she sat down and joined us. She had some very interesting stories to share and was a delightful addition to conversations going on and kept them amusing. Ms. Carolyn, who helped Ms. Colleen out at the inn, was also a delight, very friendly and sweet as well, and she always had a smile on her face. Our second day there was our wedding day, and as we were about to leave for the beach Ms. Colleen came upstairs to see us off. We were going over the traditional something old, new, borrowed and blue and when she realized that I didn't have anything borrowed, she took off her gold bracelet and told me that I could wear it. How very touching and sweet I thought that was. Ms. Colleen was gracious enough to allow me to have packages for the wedding delivered to her beautiful home and I didn't have to worry about whether or not she would be there to receive them. She made all my plans easy and I had peace of mind knowing I was in good hands. Our stay was the best I could have imagined for our wedding and honeymoon night and my husband and I hope to revisit some day soon, maybe even on our 1 year anniversary. Highly recommend this beautiful inn to any couple looking for a spacious room and a relaxing weekend away from home. Love you Ms. Colleen and thanks for all you did for us!!!

Colleen Williams is a real doll, and a natural at running her bed and breakfast. Breakfast was a wonderful sit down meal with Colleen and other interesting guests who came to visit Savannah. The rooms are large as was the bathroom. I had a great time. The B&B is closely located to the downtown historic district, and I walked back and forth each day with no trouble. (For me, a car was an option that I did not need.) I checked "exceeded my expectations" rather than "outstanding" on the above "rooms" and "cleanliness" categories because this is an old house, and some people will have a problem with uneven floors and other issues that are inherent with an old building. I love the B&B experience because I get to meet local folks and rather than visit an old home for half an hour, I get to stay in it during my vacation. However, others who prefer sleek hotels and granite countertops will not appreciate the B&B experience. With that caveat, I would recommend the Confederate House Inn for anyone staying in Savannah. In my next trip to the city, I will definitely stay there again.

We walked into a gorgeous ballroom for the living and dining area, with beautiful wood floors. Our room which looked out onto the sitting area on the grounds was spacious, clean and very pretty with plenty of room to store our things for a couple of days. Breakfast was simple and beautifully prepared. The inn is across the street from the beautiful expanse of Forsythe Park, so we enjoyed evenings on the front porch and the view across the way. There are quite a few steps up to the bedrooms, and on the way you will find coffee and dessert as you enter. Very nice hostess.

My fiancé took me to Savannah for my birthday last weekend. We stayed at the Confederate House. Lady Colleen (the Owner and very gracious host) made us feel welcome and comfortable from making our reservation until the moment we departed. We stayed for three nights with the Midnight package. We stayed in the most beautiful room with most amazing view of Forsyth Park. Lady Colleen had a wonderful southern breakfast ready for us each morning promptly at 9AM. She assisted us with dinner and city tour plans. We truly enjoyed every moment in the Confederate House and with Lady Colleen. We will definitely be back to Savannah and would not stay anywhere besides the Confederate House. Thank you, Lady Colleen, for everything and being so wonderful to us! You made our first visit to Savannah a memorable one!

Location is outstanding and cannot be beat. Directly facing beautiful Forsyth Park and has its very own attached, free parking. Free DOT bus stop located one block away...very convenient to get to all the historical sights. Lady Colleen is a gracious host that always had baked treats waiting for us everyday. Also, as a local, she is very well informed and took the time to share everything we wanted to know.

I wanted to leave this review for potential visitors to The Confederate B&B. This was my first overnight visit to Savannah along with my girlfriend who's originally from there and we both had a ver wonderful experience. Ms. Colleen is the most gracious host with a wealth of knowledge in so many areas. The pictures only of the Confederate are enhanced tremendously when seen in person. The room (Jackson) was very comfortable, elegant, and accomodating. The view and conveniency of Forsyth Park was one of many great attractions to the Confederate. My girlfriend and I could have sat and talked for hours with Ms. Colleen because of her pleasant mature, thrillful memories, and inviting spirit. I was asked afterwards by co-workers about my experience there as an African-American couple and the first word that came to mind was "Overly-Exceptional!" Class, culture, and respect are words to describe Ms. Colleen and her management of The Confederate. We met a couple from London full of excitement about their travels that only added to the already pleasant breakfast on our first morning there. I will definitely return to the Confederate so that my girlfriend and I can relive our great experience shared there. Thank you Ms. Colleen for being a terrific host and we will definitely endorse the patronage of the Confederate of those from any culture/background. Until next time, take care and much continued success there. Darrien

We visited Savannah for the first time, wanting to take in the "old city". Our selection of the Confederate House could not have been more perfect! Our hostess, Ms. Colleen was gracious, polite & welcoming, and quite the conversationalist with her years of experiences. She anticipated needs but also checked with her guests for breakfast selections, quietly allowing those with allergies or dislikes to "weigh in" without their being put on the spot, or in the position of leaving food seemingly unappreciated. The food was always fresh, tasty & served elegantly. Our room was spacious & clean, the bed most comfortable. She had much insight into the city offerings & her suggestions were appreciated. While on the outer edge of the old city, the view of Forsythe Park and our regular walks through it were most enjoyable. We parked our car on Thursday & didn't get in it again until Sunday. We look forward to returning to Savannah & to Ms. Colleen and the Confederate House!

Words cannot describe how much we loved staying at the Confederate House. When we decided to celebrate our 2nd anniversary in Savannah, we spent a week looking at different B&B locations. After seeing the photos of the rooms, we were sold. And the photos do not due justice to the beauty of the house and room. Colleen, owner/innkeeper, did a wonderful job making sure our stay was pleasant and comfortable. We stayed in the President Davis room and it was breathtaking. Thank you so much Colleen for making our anniversary weekend a pleasure.
Innkeeper Response
Thank-you for your kind words. It is always nice to meet a couple celebrating their anniversary. It was our pleasure having you stay with us.See you next year for your 3rd anniversary or sooner. Lady Colleen Williams

My husband and I stayed here the last two nights of our honeymoon before we flew back to Texas out of the Savannah airport, and we wanted a couple days to see the city. This place is conveniently located to be able to walk to many historic sites and there is a shuttle that could take you all the way down to River St. if it's too hot/inclement to walk. Rooms are very spacious, and bathrooms good, but not any amenities out of the ordinary. Best things about this place though:1) Breakfast is GREAT; truly southern and you won't go hungry! 2) The hostess/innkeeper, "Lady Williams" as the chef calls her, is very hospitable, and we enjoyed talking with her. She takes time to meet/greet her guests, and gave us plenty of advice on where to visit in the city, since she has lived there 37 yrs. The Pink House was an EXCELLENT recommendation for a fine dining experience! 3) The place is very private, with only three rooms to rent out 4) We got a great price for the value 5) The restoration she has done there is truly amazing, expecially the main ballroom downstairs. Get her to show you a picture of what the place looked like when she bought it (hint: it's in the entryway on the wall). Would stay there again if I was looking for a quiet, relaxing place with some true Southern hospitality!
Innkeeper Response
Thank-you for the very nice review. I have thought about what a perfectly matched couple you are and about your sharing with me how you grew up on a dairy farm. Having you stay here was our pleasure and we look forward to seeing and hearing from you in the future. Lady Colleen Williams

You enter the General Lee room thru double hand carved mahogany doors. This room has a 42 inch plasma tv located on the wall at the foot of the four poster king size bed. There is a very big walkin in closet. This room also has a private bath with a tub and seperate very large walkin shower. This room opens into the public sitting area furnished with Chipendale furniture, one of my favorite pieces is a sofa that has a down filled cushion. The perfect place to sit and relax.

The General Jackson room overlooks the yard with it's formal garden and fountain which can be seen from your window. This room has a 42 inch plasma tv located on the wall at the foot of your bed.

The ballroom is over 2,000 square feet and it's ceilings are 12'10" from the floor. The ballroom has three large beautiful imported crystal chandeliers and one smaller chandelier. The wood floors are the perfect background for the thick oriental rugs. It is furnished with interesting pieces of Louis XV and XVI. For the music lovers you are welcome to play the baby grand piano. What formal room would be complete without the madamoselle bust on a mahogany stand. If you need to check how you look before leaving for the day try one of the gold framed mirrors in the ballroom. When you return you will find coffee,cookies and candy on the table waiting for you.

how big is the leg opening?
will these go over my highbacks when i ride?
I doubt the pants will fit well over your highbacks. But no sweat, the kids are wearing their pants inside of their binders these days.
Keep in mind that if you put your slim pants over your highback and then lean forward into your boots, your pants could get hung up on your backs. That might mess you up.

Playful and coquettish, the Jalouse Magazine 'Vanessa Dechire Tout' editorial gives fall fashion a Parisian twist.
Rhythmic in its toying allure, the John Nollet-photographed spread boasts a raw aesthetic. The editorial appears as if it were a behind the scenes look at a photography session with a flirty Vanessa Paradis. With this fresh approach to fashion spreads, the overall feel is decidedly French. With quirky berets, knee-high stockings and layered separates, stylist Jennifer Eymére achieves that Parisian je ne sais quoi.
Vanessa Paradis stuns in garments by Chanel, Carven, Sandro and Innamorato and hats by the sublime Maison Michel. Highlighting the potential of a flirty fall wardrobe, this editorial will definitely make an appearance on pin boards for fall fashion inspiration.

Our new master bath is ready to mudset and tile. Our GC had an original allowance of $3100 for mudset, shower wall/floor tile and bath floor tile. The tile guy he wants to use had an actual quote of about $4100. The GC got an alternate quote which works out to be $2900, but he doesn't like the guy as much and is pushing me to use the first guy (who is his "main tile guy"). When I asked why they were so different he said that cheaper guy hasn't worked as much so he is low balling his bid. Here are the details of the shower: Mudset the shower
Any thoughts? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm sorry to bump this, but I would really appreciate an opinion! I need to let me GC know soon. Thanks very much! |
I thought a bunch of people would jump in to say you should use the more in-demand tile guy. Is there any chance your GC would ask his favorite guy to reduce his bid - maybe halfway between the original and the low, even if there's no way to get the popular guy down to the GC's original estimate? That's a pretty big difference, though it's apparent that the high bidder has plenty of work and doesn't need to cut his bid. But maybe as a favor to the contractor? It wouldn't hurt to ask. |
- Posted by bill_vincent (email@example.com) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 21:39
I'd say your gc's pretty much right on with his allowance. I'll tell you, though-- if he's pushing to use the 4100.00 guy, then he should cover it in his allowance without an extra charge. Tell him that, and see what he says-- You'll use his guy, so long as he'll cover it in his allowance, and not charge you any more for it. |
Does it matter if you are fixed fee vs. cost-plus here? In fixed fee, it seems you would have an allowance to choose the material...your allowance covers that. The GC is on the hook for the labor, so he can do what he wants there. If he wants to use his guy then he covers the original quote for labor plus any upcharges for using "his guy". I'm in a similar situation but we went over in material too, it sounds like you are mainly over in labor portion if you use his guy. |
Thanks for all the replies! kmcg, it's funny you said that because I did ask about it and my GC talked to the tile guy and the tile guy was willing to go down $300 and he said he might be able to go do a little bit more on the flooring. So it looks like the difference between the two is $900 now and possibly a bit less. Bill, I see what you are saying. I probably implied that the GC is pushing very hard. He isn't, he just said he prefers working with the first guy. I asked him who he would use if it was his house and he said the more expensive guy. He did say that both would do good work. Sowega, we are doing a room addition and have fixtures allowances and a labor allowance for a few items. Thanks again everyone, this really helps with my decision fatigue! |

After the completion of the human genome sequence, international efforts have been directed to the characterization of the genomes of human-associated resident microbes. The Human Microbiome Project was launched in 2007 with the aim of sequencing the resident microbiota from different sites of the human body. In this paper, we introduce the Human Microbiome Project, the role of the human microbiome in health and disease, and the implications of the microbiome variations in personalized medicine and in pharmacomicrobiomics, which we define as the effect of microbiome variations on drug disposition, action, and toxicity.
