It has been a long time since I've written a blog post. I don't really have an excuse other than I've been so stressed out about writing and job applications that I felt focusing any attention on the blog wouldn't be productive. I came to a realization today, however, that I want to share with you all.
Writing is an organic process.
Sometimes life gets away with you in this dissertation process, and you lose focus.
The problem with writing a dissertation is that it is just so HUGE. In my case, I have to write about 300 pages not including my bibliography, and it is just daunting. I remember when I defended my prospectus I left the room terrified. All I had left to do to get my PhD was write a dissertation; that is terrifying! Huge also means that the deadlines are far away and in between you have other things that happen which seem to take precedence.
I had planned on posting about juggling work, school, committees, and significant others when my computer got a virus and now all that has changed.
First, I want to say that I didn't quite make my deadline from last week. I tried very hard, but it seems that writing a dissertation takes a while, even when you know what you want to say. I did make some of it, just not all. Things aren't quite working out the way I had planned but I am quite flexible and always have schemes.
Ok, back to my computer.
Deadlines, in general, terrify me.
I don't know how most advisers deal with deadlines for their students, but my adviser doesn't have a set plan for every student. At some point after she meets them, she decides who needs more guidance, and who can be left to their own devices. For the former she tends to give deadlines for projects, or parts of projects; for the latter she lets them come up with their own deadlines, and usually it is for a finished draft of said project.
I fall into the latter category.

text: Multiple SclerosisWhat is multiple sclerosis (MS)?Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-term (chronic) disease of the central nervous system. It affects the brain and spinal cord. MS may be an autoimmune disease. This is when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells by mistake. When you have MS, the material (myelin sheath) that protects your nerve cells is damaged. This damage disrupts messages between your brain and other parts of your body, causing MS symptoms.MS symptoms can vary. They may come and go, or they may be long-lasting. Some people may only have a few mild symptoms. But others may lose their ability to see clearly, write, speak, or walk. MS is more common in women than in men. It most often occurs between the ages of 20 and 40. What causes MS?Health experts don't know what causes MS. There are many possible causes, including:Autoimmune disorders, where the body's immune system attacks healthy cells by mistakeA virus or other infectious agentEnvironmental factorsGenetic factorsWhat are the symptoms of MS?The symptoms of MS vary greatly. They may be mild or severe. They may be short-term or long-lasting. Some symptoms may appear together, depending on what part of the nervous system is affected. Below are some of the most common symptoms of MS.Early symptoms of MSThe first symptoms of MS are often:Double visionBlurred or grayed vision Eye pain and vision lossTrouble walking, being clumsyPain, numbness, prickling, or pins and needlesPainful muscle spasmsBladder control problemsOther symptoms of MSOver time, the following symptoms may occur:Muscle weakness in the arms or legsTrouble with coordination, which affects walking or standing. Partial or full paralysis is possible.Muscle stiffness and spasmsExtreme tiredness, or fatigue Loss of feeling or sensationSpeech problemsTremors, or shaking that can't be controlledFeeling dizzyHearing lossBowel and bladder problemsDepressionSexual problemsAbout 50% of all people with MS have some problem with their thinking (cognitive impairment) that is linked to the disease. This may be mild or it may be more severe. It can include having any of the following:Trouble focusingTrouble paying attentionMemory lossPoor judgmentSymptom categories of MSPrimary symptoms. Damage to the material protecting your nerve cells may cause the following:WeaknessNumbnessTremors or shakingVision loss or blurred visionPainParalysisLoss of balanceBladder and bowel problemsSecondary symptoms. Primary symptoms can lead to other problems such as:Being paralyzed can lead to bedsores.Bladder problems may cause repeated urinary tract infections.Not being active can result in weakness, poor posture and trunk control, muscle problems, decreased bone density, or shallow, inefficient breathing.Being less mobile because of weakness can lead to an increased risk of pneumonia.Tertiary symptoms. Primary and secondary symptoms can have social, work-related, and psychological effects such as:The stress of dealing with MS may disrupt personal relationships.A person who can't walk or drive may lose his or her job.People with MS often have depression.MS symptoms may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.How is MS diagnosed?It can be difficult to diagnose MS. There is no single test that can tell for sure that you have the disease. And many conditions have symptoms that may seem like MS. But a likely diagnosis can be made. Your healthcare provider will follow a careful evaluation and testing process. He or she will look for any results that point to MS. Your provider will also rule out other possible causes and diseases.Criteria for diagnosing MSTo make a diagnosis of MS, your healthcare provider must find all of the following:There is damage in at least 2 different areas of your central nervous system.You have had an MS symptom, or a worsening of an MS symptom, at 2 different times.Other possible conditions have been ruled out.There is also another set of criteria that points to a likely MS diagnosis. This involves having 1 MS symptom, and an MRI that shows certain changes in brain tissue.What does an MS evaluation include?For an MS evaluation, your healthcare provider will take your full medical history and give you a neurological exam. This includes checking your:Mental functionsEmotional functionsLanguage functionsStrengthMovement and coordinationBalanceFive senses and how they functionIn some cases, the medical history and neurological exam are all that is needed to make a diagnosis. Other tests can be used to confirm the diagnosis. Or they may be used to find other possible causes for your symptoms.Testing for MSThere are many illnesses with symptoms that may seem like MS. Your healthcare provider will do testing to rule out other possible conditions, or to help confirm a diagnosis. Sometimes repeat testing is needed. These tests may include:MRI. This imaging test uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to make detailed images of organs and structures in the body. It is used to check for scarring on your brain or spinal cord caused by MS.Evoked potentials. These tests record the brain's electrical response to sight, sound, and touch. The tests can show if there is a slowing of messages in the different parts of the brain.Spinal tap or lumbar puncture. Spinal fluid is removed from the spinal column and checked for problems linked with MS.Blood tests. These are done to rule out other causes for neurological symptoms.Treatment for MSOnce you have been diagnosed with MS, your healthcare provider will create a treatment plan for you based on:Your age, overall health, and medical historyExtent of the diseaseHow well you handle certain medicines, treatments, or therapiesIf your condition is expected to get worseYour opinion or preferenceTreatments for the conditions linked to MS may include:MedicineClinical trialsRehabilitation activitiesItems or devices that help you to do everyday tasks (assistive technology)Lifestyle changes including diet, exercise, not smoking, and stress managementThere is no cure yet for MS. But there are ways to manage your symptoms, change the disease course, treat symptoms that return, and improve your function and mobility. Talk with your healthcare provider to learn more.Rehabilitation for people with MSThe goal of rehabilitation is to help you to improve and keep function. Rehabilitation will vary depending on your symptoms. It may help you to:Restore function needed for personal care, and for daily activities at home and workBe as independent as possibleGet your family involvedMake the right decisions about your careLearn about canes, braces, walkers, and other assistive devicesBegin an exercise program to improve muscle strength, endurance, and controlImprove your motor skillsImprove communication skills if you have trouble speakingManage bowel or bladder problemsGet cognitive retrainingMake changes in your home so that you can move around and function more easily and safely Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

Kindergarten I and II have four sections with two teachers in each section.
The maximum number of students in each section is 35.
Students of Kindergarten I develop fine motor skills, auditory visual
discrimination, hand-eye co-ordination, one-to-one correspondence and
logical thinking. Interesting writing activities are given to enhance
their observation skills, quantitative analysis and sequencing.
In Kindergarten II, to increase the vocabulary of students, more emphasis
is on reading. Students start framing simple sentences, which bring out
their creative writing skills. Interaction among the students is emphasized
upon while teaching subjects like math and science. Simple and interesting
art and craft activities are done to develop the motor skills and bring
out the creativity in the child. Story telling, poetry recitation, singing,
drama and dance are also a part of the Kindergarten II programme which
help in breaking the monotony of classroom learning.

"From Steven Bochco Productions comes Blind Justice, an innovative take on the modern police drama. The lead character, New York Detective Jim Dunbar, was blinded in a shootout when his partner failed to cover him. He could have retired with a full pension after his injury, but instead fought to remain on the job, determined to prove he still has what it takes and be an asset."

Come summer, it's the query herb experts and Washington Post Food section staffers get asked the most: "I have so much 'insert name of home-grown herb here.' What can I do with it?" So before you surrender — or resort to zucchini-esque measures — we thought we'd offer advice and suggestions from people who are used to dispatching herbs in great quantities. Tips:
• Thyme
Because of its sweet and savory characteristics, thyme is my go-to herb. It's rounded and balanced, which means it can work in any dish: orange vegetables, meats, sauces, beans and even desserts. It pairs especially well with garlic, mushrooms, squash and onion. Its sweetness makes it a good infuser for alcohol and for homemade bitters.
It makes the best vinaigrette for Greek salad (see accompanying recipe).
• Use lots of thyme in a tomato sauce instead of basil or oregano.
• Stir it into scrambled eggs and chili.
• Add 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme leaves during cooking for every pound of black beans or pinto beans.
• Flavor batches of white sauce, whole-grain mustard with lots of chopped fresh leaves.
• Toss a handful of lemon thyme (on the stem) into any fruit salad; macerate, then remove the stems before serving. I use lemon thyme in a spice cake (cake and frosting; see accompanying recipe).
TIP It takes time to harvest those tiny leaves from their thin stems. Hold the top of the stem, about a half-inch down; gently pinch your thumb and forefinger together and zip down the stem. It's easier to get the leaves off after the thyme stems have air-dried for a day or two.
— By Susan Belsinger, an herb expert for more than 40 years who published her first article on herbs in Gourmet in 1980.
• Mint
Of all the varieties, I like chocolate mint the best. It has a dark note to it and seems less minty. The most delicately scented and flavored leaves are the three or four tender ones at the top of the plant. I like the taste of mint and basil together; at the restaurant, we use the combination in a shaved asparagus salad with a licorice vinaigrette.
• Use lots of mint to infuse high-proof alcohol. Stuff 4 to 8 ounces (including stems) in a 750-milliliter bottle of Everclear or high-test vodka. Let it sit for 3 or 4 days, then strain. We then like to add some bitter root, such as cinchona, and let that sit for 4 days. Strain, mix the whole lot with 250 or 300 ml of homemade honey syrup, and you've got a nice after-dinner drink. Keep it in the freezer.
• Make mint tea: Tear up a big bunch of leaves and throw them into a large Mason jar filled with water. Let it sit in a full day's sun.
TIP Don't chop it up too much. Use a sharp knife so it doesn't get all black.
— By Tucker Yoder, executive chef of the Clifton Inn in Charlottesville, Va.
• Chives
They are part of a classic fines herbes blend that can include parsley, chervil, thyme and tarragon. I like them paired with tarragon best. Chive blossoms can come on strong, so discard the purple petals and stir the remaining head of the blossom into risottos or cold soups such as vichyssoise.
Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to chop chives, as opposed to slicing them. You will be cutting across lengthy fibers, and the cleaner cut will keep them from becoming slimy.
• Pasta doughs, bread doughs and quiches can take a lot of chives — I'd say a big handful if you're making fresh pasta for four people.
• Blend them into panko crumbs to use as a coating for fish.
• Fold them into ricotta cheese; stir them into risottos or cold soups such as vichyssoise.
• Cover a bunch of finely chopped chives with just enough oil to coat, and cover them. Refrigerate for several weeks.
• Make a salsa verde with finely chopped parsley, capers, green olives and/or cornichons. The pickled components provide acid but won't discolor the chives, as vinegar would.
TIP When you pick the chives, you have to assess their moisture content in order to store them properly in the refrigerator. If they seem dry, wrap them in a damp paper towel. If they are wet, put them in dry paper toweling.
— By Aliza Green, a Philadelphia chef and author of several cookbooks as well as "Field Guide to Herbs and Spices" (Quirk, 2006).
• Marjoram
It's true that marjoram is subtler than regular oregano. I find it to be elegant, floral and lemony. It loses something when it's dried.
• Use lots of chopped fresh marjoram when slow-roasting tomatoes (at 275 degrees, with garlic, olive oil and salt). They can become a sauce, or you can use them as a sandwich component.
• At the restaurant, my favorite thing to do is a fresh version of za'atar: chopped marjoram, sumac, ground toasted sesame seeds, salt and olive oil. It can be a dip for breads.
• Make a citronette dressing for fish: lemon juice and zest, olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes, roasted garlic, capers and/or anchovies and plenty of chopped marjoram.
TIP Lemon and olive oil are complementary flavors.
— By Michael Costa, executive chef at Zaytinya in D.C..
• Chervil
It's a fragrant and light version of parsley. I appreciate its subtlety; it needs to be treated with a soft hand. Keep it in the warmest place in your refrigerator, wrapped in lightly dampened paper towels.
• Use lots of chervil to garnish salads, along with chopped parsley and chive.
• Fold it into a compound butter, but make sure the chervil doesn't get overwhelmed. Try a mixture of about 2 ounces of the herb with a generous amount of shallot, salt and a few drops of lemon juice to help bring the flavor through the fat.
• Make it the base of a salsa verde, or create a green oil by processing a bunch of chervil to a paste and adding it to oil. Leave in the pulp or strain it out.
• Puree it with spinach for a side dish.
• Sprinkle it into a beurre blanc.
TIP Chervil is all about the finish. Don't put it in a cooked dish early.
— By Jeff Black, chef-restaurateur of the Black Restaurant Group.
• Cilantro
It's so fresh and clean-tasting. You just have to be careful with it, so it doesn't overpower anything. Tear the leaves, or use a mortar and pestle to bruise them to release their oils. Even people who have problems with the taste of cilantro like a cilantro pesto when it's made with almonds instead of pine nuts.
• We used lots of cilantro at Poste, in sweet corn soup; with gravlax and smoked salmon; and with a saute of lobster mushrooms in the summertime.
• Pair it with a crudo of thinly sliced scallop or kampachi marinated in lime juice for about 10 minutes; maybe add chives or chive blossoms or a ginger vinaigrette.
• To flavor vinegar, wrap 1/2 cup of the dried seeds or 2 bunches of fresh cilantro (28 to 36 stems total) in a cheesecloth sachet, then sink it in 4 cups of apple cider vinegar. Seal in a jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for a month or two.
• Chop up cilantro and add to a black bean and corn salad; it's classic and delicious.
• Steam a bunch with mussels, chilies, garlic and lime.
TIP Use the stems as well as the leaves whenever you have a recipe that calls for cilantro. They have great flavor.
— By chef Rob Weland.
• Sage
The herb has a great mineralistic, almost briny quality; it's not sweet like chervil. Sage is also fat-soluble, so we like to use lots of it when we confit turkey. We cure the turkey thighs in salt, sugar and spices for a day, then submerge the thighs in a mixture of duck and chicken fat and tons of sage leaves. Cover and cook in a low-temperature oven for hours till really tender.
• That mineral quality pairs well with the taste of active, lean poultry — not lazy chickens!
• Same goes for shellfish, flavorwise. Try sage with oysters and clams and mussels; it complements their brininess. Not long ago at my house, I tossed a bunch of sage in a pot with mussels, a lot of onions, some duck fat and beer; use any kind of beer you have on hand. Steam them, then add butter to finish.
• Infuse homemade kombucha with sage leaves and raw turnip juice. You'll be surprised at how sweet it can be after a week or 10 days. After that, the sage lends more of an earthy note as the kombucha gets fizzier. Sage marries well with the flavor of gunpowder tea kombucha.TIP Sage flowers are purply-blue and sweet; not like the flavor of the leaves. Use them in salads.
— By Tarver King, executive chef at the Ashby Inn in Paris, Va.
• Rosemary
Theories abound regarding food and wine pairing, but none has ever held more weight to me than the idea of pairing like to like, molecules to molecules, an approach propounded by sommelier and author Francois Chartier. Finding those pairings that sing means searching out combinations that share similar aromatic compounds.
With rosemary, I head straight to fino sherry, a dry fortified wine. They both share floral terpenic compounds that give them strong aroma and resonance.
So, when you have excess rosemary, simply add it to good olive oil. Heat them up together for a few minutes, and, after cooling, transfer the oil to a glass bottle. I always add a sprig of rosemary to the bottle as well. It's decorative. Drizzle the rosemary-infused oil over goat cheese or cured ham and pour yourself a chilly glass of fino sherry. You'll see.
TIP Its leaves become more resinous, piney and tough in the summer, so use fewer of them, and chop them finely.
— By Derek Brown, mixologist and co-owner of three bars in D.C., including the new Mockingbird Hill.
Lemon Thyme Spice Cake
Makes one 13-by-9-inch cake (15 servings)
This tender cake combines a pleasant hint of thyme with the spices; the addition of nuts gives the cake more depth of flavor, but they are optional. The frosting is soft rather than buttercream consistency. You can leave the cake in the pan to cool and spread the frosting over the top, or carefully turn the cake out of the pan onto a platter when it cools, then frost it. Culinary herbalist and educator Susan Belsinger likes to use lemon-scented thymes, such as orange balsam or Provencal, for this recipe. They are sweeter and have less thymol and carvacrol than other thymes, which impart a more savory flavor. Because it takes a while to harvest the thyme leaves used for the cake, it's a good idea to have them prepped and ready to go. Adapted from Belsinger's "Not Just Desserts: Sweet Herbal Recipes" (Herbspirit, 2005).
For the cake
1/2 cup whole or low-fat milk
15 to 20 sprigs lemon thyme, plus a sprig or two for garnish
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for the baking pan
2 1/4 cups flour, preferably unbleached
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
2 tablespoons fresh minced thyme leaves
1/3 cup chopped, toasted walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts, optional, with optional nuts for garnish (see NOTE)
For the frosting
4 ounces low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
About 2 tablespoons reserved lemon-thyme-infused milk (see STEPS)
1 tablespoon good-quality maple syrup
Few dashes freshly grated nutmeg
For the cake: Combine the milk and lemon thyme sprigs in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring just to a boil (to scald), then remove from the heat and cool.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with a little butter, then line the bottom with parchment paper, using a piece large enough to allow for overhang on two sides (for easier cake removal).
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and salt in a bowl.
Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or a hand-held mixer; beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then add the granulated sugar and beat on medium speed for a few minutes, until fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition and stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Discard the lemon thyme sprigs from the milk. Add half of that infused milk to the buttermilk, reserving the rest of the infused milk for the frosting. On low speed, alternately add the flour mixture (in three additions) and the milk mixture (in two additions), beginning and ending with the flour mixture, to form a stiff batter.
Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl on high speed to form stiff peaks. Fold them into the batter in three additions; add the minced thyme and nuts, if using, with the last addition and blend well.
Pour and scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 40 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the cake starts to pull away slightly from the sides of the pan. Cool (in the pan) on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, make the frosting: Combine the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer, beating on medium speed for 2 or 3 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar in 1/2-cup increments, alternating occasionally with 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons of the reserved infused milk (you won't need all that you reserved). Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed. Add the maple syrup and nutmeg; beat on high speed for a few minutes, until the frosting appears to be whipped and is slightly thickened. It will be soft. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Use a round-edged knife to loosen the sides of the cake from the pan, then use the parchment paper to lift and transfer the cake to a platter or cutting board. Spread the frosting on the top of the cake (not the sides). Garnish with thyme sprigs and walnuts, if desired.
NOTE: Toast the nuts in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat for several minutes, shaking the pan to avoid scorching. Cool completely before using.

Greek Salad Vinaigrette
Makes about 3/4 cup (enough for 6 to 8 servings)
A long-ago trip to Greece inspired culinary herbalist and educator Susan Belsinger to reproduce the hearty salads she had there, dressed with a vinaigrette that's heavy on fresh thyme. Typically, she uses shredded green cabbage, thinly sliced red onion, kalamata olives and crumbed feta cheese. She tosses the salad with the vinaigrette and lets it sit at room temperature for 2 hours. She refrigerates the salad for about 30 minutes before serving. Then final additions of spinach leaves and grinds of fresh black pepper are tossed in. The vinaigrette can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. From Belsinger.
1/2 cup olive oil
About 3 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar plus lemon juice (the ratio of vinegar to juice is up to you)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Combine the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, chopped thyme and salt in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake until well emulsified. Refrigerate until ready to use.

pear 'Conference' / 'Doyenné du Comice'
pear duo cordon
- Position: full sun
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: April
- Flower colour: white
- Other features: delicious dessert pears
- Hardiness: fully hardy
- Pollination Group: B & C - flowering mid and late season
- Root Stock: Qunice 'A'
An ingenious idea, this Duo-cordon has two different varieties of pears, one on top of the other, grafted onto one rootstock. The result is a tree that will produce 'Conference' pears near the bottom of the tree and 'Doyenné du Comice' near the top. The chosen varieties will be able to cross-pollinate freely, so there is no need to plant another tree nearby. This makes it particularly useful for smaller gardens. This tree has been grafted with the following varieties -
'Conference' - the pure white flowers of this dessert pear are followed by delicious, long, yellowish green fruits in late September. A popular choice in the UK as it copes well with adverse conditions better than most.
'Doyenné du Comice' - this delightful dessert pear tree is covered by pure white flowers in mid spring, followed by large fruits, renowned for their excellent flavour.
- Garden care: Pears naturally shed a small quantity of the developing fruits in mid summer. After this has occurred thin out the remaining pears, leaving one pear per cluster. Apply a high-nitrogen feed in spring.
In August summer prune. Shorten any side shoots (or laterals) which are longer than 20cm back to three leaves. This will allow the sun to ripen the fruit and encourage more fruit buds. Make sure that the growth you're cutting away feels firm to the touch.
- Pollination Information: The varieties on this trees can cross pollinate freely, so you will not need another pollinating partner.

"Lake Como Delight"
Nestled on the shore of Lake Como, this resort strikes a balance between luxury and informality, privacy and community. Celebrating our thirtieth anniverary, my wife and I chose the Lake Como Beach Resort for the second half of our trip ot Italy, after a short stay in Venice. The beauty of its natural surroundings, lake and mountains, provided the perfect foil and respite.
The location is ideal for day trips, halfway between the small city of Como and the touristic Bellagio, with convenient water and bus access to both. For the more energetic, a day trip to Milan is also possible. Descending the drive, elevator and walking path to the facility was daunting on the first night, but we acclimated quickly, and it was all good exercise.
The towns and villas on the lake are picture-perfect, and the opportunities for walking and hiking outside of the towns are plentiful.
The apartment was well organized and furnished, with a delightful view of the lake from both patio and balcony. The kitchen was efficient and pleasant, and the short walk to the grocery store and bar/restaurant allowed us to meet local people. Picking persimmon, grapes and figs on and near the property added to our culinary enjoyment.
The mix of fellow travelers, couples of various ages, some with children, gave the air of an extended family reunion to the stay, only with more interesting "relatives" than most families. Just lollying around the resort for a day was a relaxing choice.
The on-site service was considerate and responsive, rather like staying with friends, and the ownership was discretely present.
We heartily recommend the resort to others, and hope to return ourselves.

"Great location, amazing views, gracious host!!"
Rental was easy, everything was as described. Great location to Como and Bellagio. Eric is easy to work with and has great insight about the greater area .
We traveled around during the day and relaxed in the evening. Good choice of restaurants close by the resort. Recommend getting food for room early as the town closes up a little earlier than I was use to,but that was part of the charm of the area. Least favorite thing would be the driveway. Stay wide!

"Very attractive stay in a magnificent place"
What is very pleasant, is that everything is in compliance with the descriptions and with the galleries of photos found on announcements. In the world of the software we say "Wysiwyg" What You See is What You Get:-)
- The rooms are very comfortable and nicely decorated
- The garden, the beach and the pontoon are perfectly equipped.
Employees are really very nice and very prevenant.
I have gone on Lake Como to rest and take advantage of the sweetness of the lake, and it is really completed for that. Moreover, the closeness of the landing stage of ferries allowed us to move easily and to make a lot of real beautiful strolls

"Totally relaxed"
We booked our stay with Eric and Robin at the last minute but they kept us informed on all the details. The communication was perfect and so was the reception by Eric. He told us all about the facilities and the nice things to do around lake Como. Throughout the week Eric frequently got in touch with us to make sure everything was as ok.
We have had a very relaxing week at a gorgeous resort with a very enthousiastic and helpfull Eric and with a stunning view over the lake!!
One little advice for those who travel by car: if you take Eric's advice to do your shopping in Como (we recommend it) make sure you have the right addresses or directions to the supermarkets. Driving in Como can be somewhat confusing and not all of the supermarkets are on the main road to the resort.

"Lombardy/Lakes Gem"
Our stay began with a wonderful drive from the Como train station to the Villetta by a driver recommended by the owners. We were knocked out when we saw the Villetta, and loved every moment we were there. Owners Eric and Robin have created a special place. Mid-stay, we were exhausted and just hung out at the Villetta's beach and were so refreshed the next day to continue our assault on the area. All the comforts are provided, plus the owner Eric escorts you to a local grocer, points out the ferry dock, gifts you with local wine, gets you online (free), shows you the satellite TV, and then checks in with you during your stay to ensure everything is perfect. The night-time views across the lake are special, the lending library and video library are great, and the setting of this fabulous property could not be better; close to the lake action, but quiet and removed if that is your preference as well. A true gem, do not miss it.

"Rooms with a view"
We stayed for one week at Villeta Felicita and a second week in Costa azurra. Felicita is the better of the Vilettas as it has two additional windows. The properties are very well appointed and equipped with good kitchen areas containing a near full sized fridge freezer, an oven and four ring gas hob. The cooking pots provided were limited and didn't include anything you could use in the oven nor was there anything in the resort's general store of extras. This was a shame as I had planned to leave dinner cooking in the oven and enjoy the sun. The location of this complex is second to none with exceptional views. The access to the resort is hairy and is underplayed by the owners for rear of putting people off. They would be well advised to be more candid so people know what to expect. The drive is steep with sharp turns. There were three scraped vehicles during our stay. Although there is a lift taking you part way up to the carpark there are also many steps and slopes to get to the lift. The under 40's competed as to how quickly they could climb to the road. The over 55's gasped in varying degrees.However without overcoming the access you would miss out on a glorious spot with good accommodation that is peaceful, right on the lake and was a wonderful find. It couldn't be better. Eric, the owner, is a charming man who does everything to make your stay comfortable. I would thoroughly recommend Lcbr. Finally Ladies, if you come here don't bring your high heels!!

Response from the , Lake Como Beach Resort and Villas WATERFRONT - 10/01/2011
Thank you for your lovely review.
We are in the process of adding casserole dishes and additional pots to all the villettas for the oven and stove. Being a new residence, we keep adding additional items and keep trying to improve our services. We really appreciate all your comments and feedback.
The landscape is very terraced on Lake Como and the lakes areas and the roads are quite challenging with cobblestone streets and some steps. Access to our driveway can also be a challenge for some drivers on arrival. Eric can help you navigate the driveway so that it will be easy the second time around.
As far as the Italian drivers, you just need to ignore them and go at your own pace.
We so enjoyed having you and meeting you and look forward to your return.
Ciao from Lake Como !

"Awesome Location and Views"
Wow, what can we say but that this location and holiday have to be the best we have ever had and Eric, Robin and Jiselle were fantastic welcoming hosts. Amazing location and with breathtaking views. You will never wants to leave.
The ferry was only a short walk from the villas which we used a lot. You do not need a car as the public transport is so good. There are shops nearby to get all your basic needs and a lovely butcher shop for the bbq.
This place is like heaven. Wonderful little resort, just perfect.
You outdid yourselves and have a great place here!
We will most certainly be back very soon.

"Outstanding Resort with Spectacular Views"
My husband and I had a spectacular holiday at the Lcbr this summer and cannot say enough. Eric and Robin run a top notch small resort that caters to guests from around the world. It was like a little United Nations. Guests with varied backgrounds. Wonderful warm and welcoming feeling. One feels like family and it can't get better than that. Everyone is made to feel unique and special. Eric qand Robin have something very special here that they offer all their customers. A unique kind of service that is 5 star. The most expensive hotels in the world do not offer this kind of caring, professional unique service, where one is treated like a king and queen and made to feel so very special. Unlike any other place we have ever visited. Thank you for an impressive, outstanding vacation.
We are so happy to have foundyou. We have been looking for a place like yours for years and have finally found our Shangrila on Lake Como ! Totally enchanting !
That little girl of your's is something very special too!

"Location...Location ...On the Waterfront !!"
Truly, this is by far the best possible location one could be on the Lake . The views are incredible, the villetta gorgeous and the amenities unbeatable. Being right on the waterfront is unmatched. The Villetta is located in the Lake Como Beach Resort which is a private, exclusive small resort of only a few properties.Very quiet and peaceful and the views some of the best ever experienced on Lake Como- our favourite lake by far. This romantic spot is only minutes to Bellagio and Como Centro and the location is central on the lake.
There is private parking as well as elevator to take you to the waterfront and beautiful views from all over thr property.
We bought our groceries from the local grocery in Pognana and had it delivered to the villetta daily with no trouble.
The ferry is only a 3 minute walk and we used the public transportation the entire time we were there except to arrive and depart for the airport.
Favourite restaurants were Bella Vista and National in Veleso as well as Bilicus and Salice Blu in Bellagio. D'Abate in Lezzano and Il Pescatore.
Favourite pizza- Eugenios in Nesso.
Owners Eric and Robin as well as sweetheart Giselle were amazing hosts. Thank you all for a tremendous week in Italy. We will recommend to all we know. You have created a lovely resort in Pognana Lario- Very Special !!

"A wonderful week in a magical setting"
The resort is situated on the shores of Lake Como, with spectacular views morning, afternoon and night from my balcony.
Eric and Robin are hands on hosts, always available, always going the extra mile for their guests. Highly recommended. ( Only caveat...This is not a vacation for anyone with mobility issues...it is a steep walk from the road down to the resort).
Added bonus: the dock for the ferries that run up and down the lake is only a two minute walk down the shoreline and viewing the lake, the villas, and the surrounding hills from the boats was a highlight of my wonderful vacation.

"Waterside paradise"
This resort ticks all the boxes, clean, comfortable and very friendly. A real home from home the host Eric even fetched us Gin & Tonic one sunny afternoon. The resort overlooks a stunning Como view and is a steep climb to Pepo's Bar and a brilliant shop that has everything including a great deli. Getting about the lake is easy (once you've mastered the timetable) and inexpensive by ferry that stops next to the resort.
We have a nine month old boy and found we had everything we needed. We had a very relaxing holiday and would recommend the resort to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing break.

"Excellent accommodations on the Lake Como Waterfront"
Our villetta was immaculate and clean as well as spacious.
Quality furnishings and very tastefully decorated.
A very well maintained property with gorgeous gardens and views spanning the entire lake. Our accommodations were excellent. We had fantastic views from both levels of our villetta. Our villa was on two levels, with balcony next to the master bedroom overlooking the lake. You can't beat this place for location or views.As far as quality for the price, this is top notch!
The cost for the week here is like paying for Villa D'Este for one night. First Class accommodations!!
A big thanks to our gracious hosts.They were the best.

"Views to Die For !!"
Fantastic little private resort on Lake Como on the Bellagio side of the lake only 15 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay enormously. The villetta was very tastefully decorated, new and modern. Luxurious towels and sheets and spotlessly clean. Gorgeous manicured grounds and gardens. The views from all areas of the property are stunning, Wonderful views from the balconies overlooking Lake Como. The Villettas are directly on the waterfront, just a coiuple of feet from our villetta.
We enjoyed laying out on the sun loungers under the sun umbrellas, soaking in the sun and beautiful lake. The views donl;t get better than this. Even the views from the BBQ area are fantastic!! The locals are most friendly and helpful.
Eric and Robin were gracious hosts and nothing was too much. Thank you for that. Top notch accommodations on Lake Como!
Our favorite restaurants were Bella Vista, Salice Blu, Eugenios Pizzeria, National and Il Pescatore as well as Spangola in Como and Billacus in Bellagio.
A must is renting a motorboat if Faggetto with Eric's help and cruising the lake, you don't even need a license - great fun!
One of the best trips we have ever had to Italy.
Lake Como is fantastic !

Top Notch Pulp...., 5 March 2003
Author: underfire35 from Chicago, USA
True Romance is a celebration of film. It wallows in every possible seedy contrivance of American crime/action cinema. It is absolutely shameless in its exploitation of excessive violence, over-acting, melodrama, lurid sex, and rampant drug use...I love it. Quentin Tarantino, as I'm sure everyone knows, wrote the story, but it is the in execution that this film pays off. The cast, oh the cast: The lynchpins are Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. They both give solid performances, which prevents the film from flying off the tracks; they serve as the pilot light. The supporting roles are the gas. The Walken/Hopper show down has been oft sighted as the film's best aspect, and this is, arguably, true. Just watch this scene and then watch it again. Sparks actually shoot out of the screen and burn people about the head and shoulders. OK, you've got Val Kilmer as the ghost of Elvis, Brad Pitt as a disgruntled pot-smoking loser, Tom Sizemore & Chris Penn as cops, James Gandolfini (pre-Sopranos) as a reflective hitman, and you've even got Bronson Pinchot (from TV's PERFECT STRANGERS) for God's sake. Did I forget Gary Oldman? Do yourself a favor and rent every single Gary Oldman related project (they're not all good films, but...). Why is Gary Oldman not in every film ever made? Why? I ask you why? He has got to be the best actor working today, hands down. As Drexel Spivey, Oldman chews the scenery, digests it, and then expels it from every orifice. Keep in mind that he is an English actor with a normal speaking voice at home in the Royal Shakespeare Company. His performance here is second only to his turn in LEON in blatant over-the-top insanity. Tony Scott, who along with his brother Ridley, has been known to over-direct a film or two, here chooses wisely to basically set up the camera and run. The score by Hans Zimmer adds a bouncy xylophone driven theme to the film and finds the right balance. This a well made, balls-to-the-wall, popcorn throwing, cult classic. In a market dominated with stereotypical characters, this movie avoids that trap by letting the stereotypes flourish with all the grotesque absurdity it can muster.
With enough memorable scenes and talented stars to fuel a half a dozen blockbusters, True Romance gives us the `best bang for our buck' in years. The Walken/Hopper scene alone is worth the `price of admission' not to mention the Gandolfini/Arquette and Slater/Oldman match ups. This can only be described as a `wonderfully wicked movie' for its tantalizing content, smart dialog and toothsome violence.
Put the kiddies to bed, be prepared for rough language, adult themes and graphic violence and enjoy a `not for the faint of heart' masterpiece.

This was uploaded before the bluray was released and it's worth finding a better copy. Fantastic movie: script written by Quentin Tarantino, and Brad Pitt plays a stoner who meets Christopher Walken playing a mafia kingpin.

Cinema Club Presents: Summer Hours
Tuesday, August 3rd at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room
Widely hailed by critics as 2009's best film, Summer Hours is the great contemporary French filmmaker Olivier Assayas's most personal film to date. Three siblings, played by Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling, and Jérémie Renier, must decide what to do with the country estate and objects they've inherited from their mother. From this simple story, Assayas creates a nuanced, exquisitely made drama about the material of globalized modern living. Naturalistic and unsentimental yet suffused with genuine warmth, this is that rare film that pays respect to family by treating it with honesty. Not Rated.
Discussion to follow movie. Refreshments will be served.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) with a sure hand, Brooklyn's Finest follows three NYPD cops who come from very different places (geographically and personally) as their lives, and the compromises they have made daily to coexist with the mean streets of Brooklyn, dovetail to a climax that will have viewers on the edge of their seats. Fuqua has assembled a stellar cast here, including Richard Gere, a veteran cop just a week from retirement; the always amazing Don Cheadle, an undercover officer whose loyalties to the force may be compromised by his growing loyalties to the groups he's infiltrating; and the film's true revelation, Ethan Hawke, a young corrupt cop whose morals make the stomach turn, though Hawke's performance is nuanced and riveting. Supporting cast members include Wesley Snipes as a gangster whom even the police have second thoughts about messing with. Rated: R
