Location and ocean-side views over-priced food and drinks
Overall the service was impeccable. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The quality and cleanliness of the rooms is second to none. I have stayed at this hotel before and will do again - I look forward to it. For some reason this time, the breakfast service was poor. The staff were 'distant' and seemed to be falling out amongst themselves. On one day, we didn't get our coffee for about 20 minutes and on another, the restaurant ran out of plates, so people were putting bread, cooked breakfast etc in a cereal bowl. There seemed to be no urgency, nor desire to provide a good service. This was a pity and contrary to every other service in the hotel.
It was a lovely 10 minute walk along promenade into town centre, a walk we enjoyed a couple of times a day! Also spa in hotel was really nice. Beds were huge and really comfortable. Had a great weekend in Biarritz!!
The location was superb right on the sea front . Rooms quite spacious with comfortable beds and bedding. The indoor and outdoor pools were heated with plenty of sunbeds
The bedrooms were extremely comfortable and tastefully furnished. The pool area and spa were fantastic with wonderful views over the crashing waves. It is a wonderful beach location. We were led to believe from the web site that all rooms had sea views. This is totally wrong and you only get a sea view if you pay a premium price. We were disappoointed to be given a room at the side of the hotel immediately above the staff smoking area. This was our biggest complaint. Our other complaint was the cost of meals in the hotel. Breakfast was 28 euros each and we were not prepared to spend another 56 euros every day for breakfast, so we were reluctantly forced to go out for breakfast every day. Had breakfast been more realistically priced at say 15 to 20 euros per person then we would have had breakfast in the hotel.
The location of the hotel is excellent, overlooking the beach and not too long a walk to restaurants. Pool area is excellent. Room very comfortable. Food and drinks in the hotel are very expensive.
beds were comfortable Reception staff were good at check-in. Concierge staff make a very good effort waited 15 minutes for valet to get my car, while other guests were more important. during this time, one valet was loading another guests car, another was told by the reception to take bags to a room, although I had pointed out that I had been waiting for my car for a long time. food was extortionately expensive. breakfast quickly became boring. room service most expensive, and most limited I have ever come across. we once tried to have lunch at the hotel, but despite asking the restaurant hostess to point out to the staff that we had been at our table for a long time, with no service, we eventually just left, having not had our order taken, and run out of time in our schedule.
Everything the service and room was excellant no
location rude waiter at dinner (didn't eat there again); no hair conditioner in bathroom
Staff were most helpful, polite & courteous We weren't advised before the stay that works were being undertaken at the hotel, the hotel was enclosed in scaffolding, our room therefore had no views.
Well placed and a very good hotel. The room we had was excellent Bathroom in the suite was not good. The bath was too narrow and shower door inadequate meaning that when using the shower it sprayed everywhere which made it a safety hazard. It would not stop me using the hotel again.
The room was spacious, well equiped and very comfortable.
The hotel was clean and was quietly situated but convenient for restaurants, shops and golf. Nothing
Location over looking both Biarritz La Phare Golf course and Biarritz coast. Clean and quiet swimming pool. Great service. 20 up hill walk back from centre of Biarritz. Cost of drinks - 9 Euros for 50cl Biere.
Everything, first class hotel. Staff helpful and friendly. Good location. Old world charm and character about the hotel building. Everything was excellent.
Beautiful old building that was unfortunately still under renovation. Many parts of the hotel were showing signs of age (the pool for example), but they were actually the mid-century additions or fixtures. I'm curious to see the hotel after the renovations are finished.
Go to beach
Good location with good parking. None
Grand old hotel in wonderful position, maintaining its historically high standards. Some confusion about the two restaurants, which seem to share the same dining room but offer different menus.
location and view from dining room place is showing its age, and its cost for rooms and meals are far too high. breakfast for 1 person was 50 euro, about $60 USD. the ocean view room i reserved from kayak was $550, and the only view of the water was from a side window; you had to right up next to the window to even see the water or beach. when i complained, they said that since you can see the water from the window, it qualifies as ocean view. we got misled from the check in girl as to when our room would be ready, and got fast double talk as to what happened. there also appears to be some wiggle room between what we learned about the room from kayak and what the hotel provided. kind of a bait and switch. we won't be back.
Pool area , bar and restaurant are excellent. Our room was small and the bathroom was dated.
Entrance to the Hotel was fabulous as were all the communal areas The room we were issued was in need of repair and re-decoration
Everything, the rooms are luxurious, the staff is professional and friendly, the building is beautiful. The best of European hospitality. And the food...glorious!!!
I liked my staying in the hotel. Good lacation.
the location. Very convenient to all main places in Biarritz. the room was nice. The shower was missing the piece to hold it to the wall on top. I was very annoyed when at 3pm I wanted to get some room service and the restaurant was closed! I guess is a problem in France not only of this hotel.
The space, situation and cleanlines
I would rate this hotel as a 3 star hotel rather than 4 star. It was clean & nice but not what i'd expect from a 4 star hotel.
Nothing except close to beach This hotel is total rip off. Its way overpriced and old fashioned. Had to pay on arrival.Noisy and food was way too expensive. Never again!
Staff very good and the room perfect. We got upgrade because we were in honey moon.
Location Parking was difficult to find, the room was very small for 175euro a night, front facing room very noisy, no working air conditioning.
The hotel was in a central position and there were parking facilities. The evening dinner was excellent. Breakfast items that were shown on the menu weren't actually available and would have been charged to us at full price had we not complained. The normal room rate is very overpriced but is good value at the special offer rate that we paid. There was insufficient drawer space in the room and the air conditioning unit was very noisy and would not switch off.
The room was a very comfortable size for three people. It's in a great location, very close to the beach and restaurants, but not in too noisy of a location. The hotel staff was also very helpful and accommodating to our needs. They went above and beyond to help us out!
Location Location Location Parking Area No Lighting?Staff could be frendlier.
Location They invited us for breakfast and told us it was "included" and then charged us for it. Breakfast is horrible including eggs made out of some mix and watery and very little to eat. Rooms are VERY small.
Very helpful staff
size of room air condition not working for two nights. blockage in waste water outlet pipe - when advised for the next visitor they were already aware of it but still put us in the room!
location Facilities too basic
Great location. Right in the heart of Bayonne. Could walk to everywhere from the hotel.
The room and everything in it was sloping. Very uncomfortable and disorientating. The hotel was not full but the hotel allotted what must be the worse room. The bathroom was like a not very nice antique and the noise from outside the hotel horrendous-no soundproofing no double glazing.I feel sorry for anyone staying here longer than one night. One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. Depressing experience and worst value for money.
Location was good and the price was reasonable. Loved the old fashioned lift. Comfortable and relaxing although it was disappointing that on my second night I was told that the hotel bar was closed. Although it was two in the morning the hotel information pack clearly said that it was always open.
Location and excellent breakfast buffet The room had a slanted floor which translated into a slanted bed - akward sleeping....parking facilities not far away but you needed to collect from and return to the front desk the gate's opening card each time you used it .
We found all was very good.The car parking in the allocated place was rather difficult but all in all it started off our holiday well.
Excellent location and friendly service.
The location of the hotel was very good The room was quite small and dark considering it was supposed to be 'superior'.
Being so central
The staff
The view of the coastline from Le Grand Large was spectacular. The hotel is located within easy access of shops, restaurants, transportation. Having 2 non-working elevators for a period of time was unacceptable for a hotel with 9 floors.
The whole deal. centrally located, on-site parking, friendly staff, clean and bright, fantastic sea and coastline views and the price. I recommend it! I liked it all.
We liked the hotel the area and the accomadition also the very spacious room and of course the well equipped kitchen
They had booked a large party of young sports men who were out late at night and were very very noisey on their return and distrubed two of our nights sleep.
great sea view with big balcony. fantastic facilities for cooking and keeping things cold. also great bathroom plus ideal for kids and I don't have any! pool closed but probably because out of seasion
location, room our double buggies did not fit into the lift or the hotel room, also we were not allowed a late check out
location, excellent views and quality of apartment
It is ideally located with easy access to bakery and regular shops. It was great to have the small kitchen in the room especially when the kids needed to eat early in the evening. Also the restuarant allowed us to take food up to the room, best of both world's. I would go back to the hotel but I'd bring my own pillow and also to beware that the majority of people staying there are older and I was very aware of having the children running around.
Very nice staff. Great pool. Good value Very loud due to motorcycles driving but all night.
Staff very friendly, excellent facilities Wooden floors not very practical for sound. Breakfast expensive
The check in was faultless,even though we were later then anticpated,the location is excelent,ideal for shopping or going to the beach or even getting on a bus to go out of town.I Would definitely stay at the hotel again,also it was very good value for money.
The hotel is very well placed just in front of the ocean and very close to the centre of Biarritz. You just have a street to cross to be on the main beach. The room is comfortable and I loved its design. Nice view on the ocean (room on the ocean side) and if you closed the windows, absolutely quiet, otherwise the noise of the ocean. No private parking place. Public parking (casino) very close but might be a pb in high season and week-ends.
The location at the Grand Plage with the ocean wiew. Small slow elevator, expensive in relation to standard, bathroom poor standard with bad smell.
We stay here for a week-end visiting Biarritz. The hotel is very well located. The rooms are small but very pretty and clean. The bathroom also small but new and clean. Perfect hotel for a week-end in Biarritz! As it is located in front of the beach, there is no easy pace for parking. But anything is perfect!
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a great location right on the beach and we had a partial sea view even though we ordered a courtyard view. The room was quite small but had everything we needed and was modern, clean and stylish.
A good hotel, excellent cleaning, friendly staff. Very noisy at night from people walking along the embankment.
the hotel was adequate for a short stay,I would not like to be there more than a few days as the facilities were quite basic. Rather plain.
excellent location- very clean-friendly staff and very good breakfast
A great room with a great view in a very well located hotel. Staff was friendly and hard working.
This hotel is a ver especial place The decoration, the food, the view, ..... Very relax and the atmosfare is relax and luxery.. Highly recomended.
good food , relaxing setting , excellent bathroom / bed , very helpful wine master , in the main very friendly / helpful staff food was generally a bit pricey , head waiter was rude / unfriendly
It would have been nice to have had a separate lower cost brasserie type restaurant.
This hotel is amazing! The rooms are lovely and very large, the views spectacular. We were there for a wedding, which was one of the best we've ever been to!
Excellent on every dimension, but few english speakers for example in the restaurant. So you need some french or a willngness to experiment. Nothing.
Fantastic setting, fabulous food
quiet and relaxing hotel with excellent staff. rooms and pool excellent, we didnt eat in the hotel as we felt that the food was extremely pricey. would not hesitate in going back all the same
Beautiful room and surroundings. Enjoyed having breakfast by the side of the lake.
The tranquility & peacefullness of the setting, overlooking the Lake with it's own active wildlife; ideal 'escape' from the bussle of Biarritz and St Jean de Lux. The comfort & quality of the Hotel , embracing the friendliness of the staff and quality of the Cuisine.Arriving after lunch , the Staff provided cold plates of ham & cheese, which , with local Vin Blanc was very welcome after a 3 hour drive! Perhaps explanation of means of communication between Pool & Reception and the routine at breakfast , including guests making their own coffee, could have been explained on arrival , to avoid misunderstandings. Otherwise , no complaints!
comfortable, clean, quiet, relaxed atmosphere
The staff were extremely helpful .Nothing was too much trouble Needed a shower screen
Have just stayed for a week and the whole experience was fantastic. The staff must be the most friendly and helpful of anywhere in the world.They appear very happy in their work. Brilliant value for money and centarl. Highly recommended by our party of six. Everthing excellent.
It was very central to everywhere,airport,beach,bus stops,etc. The lighting in the room could be improved
Very friendly and polite staff with good English language speaking skills.
Very friendly staff, great location, & very clean comfortable room. Breakfast better than most French hotels!
the hotel was very central and we had a lovely room, most of the staff were very helpful and nice and they had a no smoking policy in the bedrooms which was fantastic as most of the hotels in france allow smoking everywhere
location excellent.staff really great .good breakfast and with car parking.its a no brainer -book it
Hotel staff were excellent. Very friendly and very helpful. If you are not up early breakfast drinks i.e. coffee, tea can be cold and fruit salad finished.
Got a modern recently refurbished room, with a very nice bathroom and separate toilet. Hotel is in excellent location, quiet, and very close to the beach and the city center. Staff was very helpful and nice. If you are planning on going to San Sebastian, the bus to the train station passes right outside the hotel.
I thought the hotel employees from the cleaning staff to the receptionists were very pleasant and reception staff tried to be especially helpful, in the light of the French strike and our cancelled flight by Ryan air - who I would never fly with again. The room was rather crampted for two people staying 11 nights (resulting from cancelled flight) I would only recommend 5 nights stay because of the room size factor. There should be larger rooms available for stays any longer than a week.
Close to main town and pool was nice with good bar service AC didn't cool room down very well
Hotel very central to surfers beach, shops and restaurants. Room large, clean and very comfortable bed. Good sized bathroom with towelling robes. Rooftop terrace and heated pool amazing with fantastic views of Biarritz. Staff at reception were very helpful and polite. They recommended and booked some lovely restaurants for us.
Nothing special, just good for thus price.
Everything Limited selection and quantity of food
The Hotel is clean and relaxing loved the roof top pool. We wanted to eat in the hotel but on 2 occasions the rooms were taken with private parties, not impressed.
The rooftop pool and terrace are spectacular at sunset.
location excellent. found all staff were welcoming, friendly & efficient spa was closed and was one of reasons for choosing hotel. breakfast €23 too expensive
Very nice view from terrasa, cafe and pool
Comfort and friendly staff. breakfast needs to be improved for Irish residents in the hotel
We were travelling from the Costa Blanca to Poitiers and it was an excellent place to stop. It was our first time in Biarritz and we had time to see the city and drink a few beers by the sea front.We had dinner in the hotel which was very good. Normallt we would eat out but we were not impressed with the restaurants in Biarritz. We selected some champagne coctails from the bar menu which arrived 20 mins later after the bar staff had received some training!
Hotel staff were very friendly and helpfull
Easy to find, convenient size for stopover with tea coffee making facilities and air con. Did not like the connecting door to another room. First time we have encountered this with your Hotel.
Comfortable beds and bedding. Easy to find location. Client parking - even though your (or their) website description implies none available! Reliable hot water in an adequate bathroom/toilet. Ease of access to ground floor rooms.
Location for airport Not very good value for money
Proximity to your excellent restaurent!
Easy access to the motorway network, friendly and helpful staff Nothing at all
Staff helpful and efficient. At times there was a lack of hot and even warm water> I brought this to the attention of the manager who said the hotel did not have sufficient hot water capacity to cope with the number of people staying at the hotel.
Very friendly staff, free parking, free internet. Lack of rooms with a fridge and microwave.
Clean room, Attentive staff, all spoke good English. Close to Autoroute
Everything, as always the Campanile standard is excellent. No
Good staff, excellent quality campanile food, parking outside, close to station. A bit out of Biarittz for walking. Noisy main road but I did not really notice it
Can't speak highly enough of the friendliness & helpfulness of the staff No bad points
My friend and I thought tis was one of the better hotels either one of us has ever been to--beautifully appointed rooms and excellent service make staying at this small boutique-hotel an excellent experience.
Very nice romantic place but not for the long stay It would be so nice if they made the territory much more!
The whole experience was wonderful - from the look of the manor, to the staff, to the owner chauffering us in his Rolls to our dinner reservation. The staff is extremely attentive, without being intrusive. The room was luxurious, but comfortable. A very special place. Price per person for breakfast seems high.
Gorgeous room, fab bath and shower, absolutely charming staff, stylish hotel.. Great touches like a huge bowl of gorgeous fresh fruit in reception, and breakfast was great - lovely table, prompt service and delicious. But don't order dinner there - at least not on a Sunday night. Our dinner experience was not good. Firstly we waited ages and ages. The choice was limited but that was OK, except the food wasn't ok. It was strange bordering on bizarre and really not very nice. We ordered some cold starters (amongst which was a serving of 'green' asparagus which came limp, soggy and almost brown in colour - obviously tinned and frankly inedible) and one hot starter. All the cold starters were served together - there were 6 of us - but the one hot starter only came ages later with all the main courses. The mains were local dishes and really not very nice, weren't hot enough and certainly not up to standard. Shame as hotel otherwise is gorgeous.
Super friendly staff. Beautiful and very stylish hotel.
staff very helpful, responsive and friendly. Service was great - efficient but never intrusive;. Rooms and common areas - lounge, pool, gardens, very beautiful, pool was especially nice as its long enough to swim properly in
Beautiful room. Very helpful male owner. Well served by local bus until early evening. We didn't mind walking into town but some people may find the 15 min walk to the town centre off putting. No buses later in the evening. Female owner could be a little more friendly.
The original design, cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. The owners were helpful and very charming. No.
very helpful and friendly staff.
Great location and ideal stop-over to Spain or the Basque Country - or as a short trip or weekend destination (Old city of Bayonne is wonderful and Biarritz really closeby) The House itself -boutique style- oozes sophistication and style. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful in sharing their adresses for dining and shopping with you. A small outdoor swimming pool for summer would make this place perfect!
The standard of the room, decor was superb, comfort and convenience. Staff were friendly and helpfull. It's about a 15 min walk to the city centre which may be a problem for some clients.
Beautiful decor, wow factor on arrival. Lovely breakfast, served with great care. Difficult walk into Bayonne on main roads.
Very welcoming owners, very clean rooms and wonderful terrace to have breakfast on. Perfect alternative to the chain hotels in Bayonne city center. I thoroughly recommend this place to those travelling with a car (hotel is on periphery of Bayonne). Très bel établissement et des gens charmants et très serviables. Excellent rapport qualité/prix.
The extreme kindness and helpfulness of the owners. the quiet location. the lovely breakfast. the beautiful decor. Though not far from the centre of bayonne you really need a car or taxi to visit the old city or go to the station.unless you are good at walking. but I think there is a navette there on other days. we were there on sunday.only

Emma - from Houston, TX
The most common way to stack a two layer cake is to cut the crown from the "top" of the baked cake to level it. Place a small amount of icing on the cake board or plate to hold the cake in place, then set the cut side of the layer down on your cake board or plate. Spread your filling or icing on the layer. Then, cut the crown from the second cake layer and place the first layer, cut side down. When arranged this way, the smooth crumb from the sides of the pan make the perfect surface for icing the cake successfully.

Amazing Camera Tool
By CEC
from Los Angeles, CA
Best Uses
I've had so much fun while shooting with this. The case is sturdy, the lenses capture crispy pictures, and it even comes with a lens wiper that cleans the lenses without scratching them! I'd recommend this to anyone who is anxious to modify their iPhone 5s camera to give their photos/video an interesting and rare quality.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By .do I need one?
from Pacific northwest
Heavy, awkward, hard to carry around, as it is too big for a pocket, ok for a handbag. Lens not that different, fish eye easiest to make a different type shot with, lens are good quality, glass, easy to move from lens to lens. Would only put it on phone for a special occasion, as it is too heavy to carry around.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Malian, French troops force Islamists to retreatMarc Bastian ,Timbuktu
Published: January 30 2013 - 3:00AM
FRENCH and Malian forces were patrolling Mali's desert city of Timbuktu on Tuesday after receiving a hero's welcome from residents.
With the recapture of Timbuktu, only one Islamist stronghold remains to be retaken - the town of Kidal in the desert hills of the far north, 1500 kilometres north-east of the capital Bamako.
Asked if French troops would press on to try to force the Islamists out of the mountainous north of the country, French President Francois Hollande said: ''Now the Africans can take over.''
Speaking in Paris, he said: ''We know that this is the most difficult part because the terrorists are hidden there and can still carry out extremely dangerous operations, for neighbouring countries and Mali.''
Residents of the ancient city on the edge of the Sahara erupted in joy as French and Malian troops drove in on Monday.
''Mali, Mali, Mali,'' they shouted, as they waved French and Malian flags.
Australia will not send troops to support the French-led international intervention.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr and Defence Minister Stephen Smith said Australia would provide $5 million for operational costs such as military staffing, logistics and equipment. Another $5 million will go towards humanitarian help.
Residents said many of the Islamist occupiers had left several days ago, as French air strikes rained down on their bases across the north.
Electricity and telephone networks were both out of action.
Timbuktu was for centuries a cosmopolitan city and a centre of Islamic learning.
Radical Islamists seized it in April 2012 as they took control of Mali's north in the chaos that followed a military coup last March. They forced women in Timbuktu to wear veils, and those judged to have violated their strict version of Islamic law were whipped and stoned.
On Monday, residents were celebrating their freedom.
Lahlia Garba, a woman in her 50s, expressed relief the Islamists had been forced out. ''I had to wear a burqa, gloves and cover everything,'' she said.
Another Timbuktu resident, Hama Cisse, said: ''We are independent again. We were held hostage for 10 months but it seemed like 10 years.''
The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, has warned Mali over reports its army has committed abuses. Rights groups and journalists have reported allegations that Malian troops have executed suspects in towns recaptured in the offensive. ''All those alleged to be responsible for serious crimes in Mali must be held accountable,'' he said.
Monday's advance into Timbuktu was 18 days after the French launched an offensive to wrest the north from the Islamists with the support of Malian troops.
French Rafale and Mirage jet fighters carried out 20 bombing raids before troops reached Gao and Timbuktu, the French Defence Ministry said.
Timbuktu was approached from the south by French armoured forces on Sunday, while paratroopers were dropped to the north of the town to prevent escape by militants. Helicopter-borne French special forces seized Gao's airport and bridge early on Saturday and were reinforced later by an airlift of 40 Chadian troops and 40 Niger troops.
Gao was taken the next day by Malian and French troops.
The battle to take the key Gao bridge was ''brief and violent'' with 15 militants killed, French military spokesman Thierry Burkhard said. No prisoners were taken and no French were injured, he said.
France has 2900 soldiers in Mali. Almost 8000 troops from Chad and the west African bloc ECOWAS were expected to take over from them.
The African-led force will need a budget of $US460 million ($A442 million), the African Union said, promising to give $US50 million.
A spokesman for British Prime Minister David Cameron said London was keen to send more than the two transport planes and a surveillance aircraft it had already provided.
British media reports on Tuesday suggested up to 200 troops might be involved in training.

text: First, I thoroughly enjoyed the game. It's amazing how something so simple on the surface can be so much fun But, in playing it, I found myself wondering about terrain engine of sorts he used. Does he just draw a 3 dimensional array of cubes, say around 1000x1000x128? Or do you think he uses some sort of raycasting to only draw the visible ones? I find the idea of a terrain that isn't just a heightmap to be neat, even a fairly "low resolution" on built up of cubes. Any thoughts how this could be implemented in Unity?

With the death of Philip Johnson at 98, America has lost one of its most prominent architects. In Johnson's New York Times obituary Paul Goldberger wrote, "Mr. Johnson was known less for his individual buildings than for the sheer force of his presence on the architectural scene." Goldberger suggests, as did Johnson himself, that neither the architect's individual buildings nor the mercurial array of designs characterizing his career are of lasting significance. While Johnson has been praised as a champion of theoretical ideas in architecture, most critics have dismissed even his best buildings as intellectually lightweight and stylistically derivative.
Johnson's Glass House (1949) is often cited as his best building. While it was completed before Mies van der Rohe's house for Dr. Edith Farnsworth, it is generally considered derivative of that project, even though the all-glass house was hardly invented by Mies. The Glass House, however, is more than just a knowing copy of Mies' work. The Glass House and the Farnsworth House are diametrically opposite as spatial conceptions, and they represent completely differing ideas about their relationship to the landscape. That Johnson was aware of the elemental nature of his design is suggested by his early plans for the Glass House and its relationship to the guest-house on the property. I suggest that in this project he did indeed create an architecture of ideas and that the building is undeserving of the many critical descriptions relegating it to a secondary position in 20th-century architectural history.
opposing views
In an article he wrote for The Architectural Review published in September 1950, Johnson catalogs his precedents for the Glass House. These include the work of Karl Friedrich Schinkel (classical pavilions); the Acropolis in Athens (classical pavilions with a site plan informed by the landscape); the planning of Le Corbusier (abstractly derived from the Acropolis); and Mies' design for the Farnsworth House. Johnson also cites a De Stijl composition of rectangles by the Dutch architect Theo van Doesburg. In his introduction to Philip Johnson: The Glass House (Pantheon Books, 1993), Jeffrey Kipnis suggests that Johnson's essay has "shaped the scholarly treatment of the Glass House." Kipnis demonstrates this when he writes: "The genius of the Glass House obtains from the fact that, although it derives its style from Modernism, the discrete ordered space it engenders belongs more to classical architecture. There is little disagreement among the critics on this point."
I would argue the opposite: that Johnson's Glass House is totally Modern in its use of International Style ideas about continuous space, the relationship of objects (enclosed cores, bathroom, fireplace, kitchen, etc.) to surrounding space, and the relationship of interior to exterior, whereas the Farnsworth House is classical in the disposition of its symmetrical bathroom and kitchen core and in its treatment of the relationship of interior space to the exterior landscape.
The Glass House has its brick-paved floor set barely above the adjacent lawn. The visual effect is that of the horizontal extension of interior space out into the landscape (even with the columns defining the corners of the interior volume). The exterior steel is painted black, making it recessive with respect to the dark verdant colors of its surroundings and suggesting a diametrically opposite relationship to the landscape than at the Farnsworth House. The travertine-paved floor of the latter is raised up above the landscape because of the flood plane of the Fox River. This removes the foreground from view and treats the landscape as a panoramic vista rather than a visual extension of the interior space. As a panorama, the landscape resembles the photo collage in Mies' famous interior perspective of the Resor House. Where Mies' disposition of interior elements implies a static or classicized subdivision of interior space, Johnson's "free plan" and De Stijl–like composition of linear freestanding cabinets and cylindrical brick core create a Modernist continuity of space around these elements.
Lastly is the difference between Mies' and Johnson's treatments of supporting columns. The Glass House's columns are in the plane of the glass wall but project inward, placing them directly under the house's fascia. At the Farnsworth House the columns sit outside the glass wall with the fascia welded to the flange of their "I" profile. Johnson's design suppresses the visual importance of the columns, while Mies' accentuates it, making his pavilion temple-like. Mies disliked the Glass House and is said to have told Johnson that he got the design wrong. This further suggests that beyond the initial premise of making an all-glass house, the Glass House as an original work owes less to Mies than Johnson's critics have understood or acknowledged.
being there
For anyone who has visited both houses, the experience further suggests how little the one is indebted to the other. They are fundamentally different in terms of their sensibilities. The Farnsworth house is Zen-like in its sense of balance and serenity. One has the impression, as with a Greek temple, of being in the presence of a perfect object. Unlike the Barcelona Pavilion, with its directional Modernist space and unaligned column and paving grids, at the Farnsworth House the column centers align with the grid of the travertine floor, classicizing the design. Lest we miss the idealized nature of the house, the steel columns and beams are painted white. According to the late Myron Goldsmith, who worked on the house, Mies is said to have never used slotted screws on a project again when he realized the screw heads on the glazing stops could not be aligned, spoiling the perfection of his design.
At the detail level, Johnson's house, by contrast, is about tactile experience—not abstract perfection. The dark brown herringbone brick floor, which is waxed to a rich luster, has a warm sensual quality to it, suggesting languid luxury. The fireplace-bathroom core is also built of brick, but it is the inside of the bathroom that confirms the house's tactility. In the bathroom the curved walls are covered (except for the shower) by individual tan-colored leather tiles with beveled edges, cut to the size of bricks and applied in a running bond like the bricks on the bathroom core's exterior. Plumbing fittings are finished in polished brass. At the Farnsworth House the two bathrooms, in cool contrast, have pristine travertine floors and walls and chrome plumbing fittings.
conceptual level
Johnson's early development sketches imply a primary intellectual idea consistent with an understanding of the iconic nature of the design. This idea has nothing to do with the minimalist premise of Mies' glass house designs. From early in 1947 the Glass House was conceived as part of a composition that included a guesthouse. Johnson's citation of the Acropolis as a precedent suggests an interpretation that Johnson would have owed to Le Corbusier. That is, the interpretation of the Acropolis as an archetypal composition of primary building types: the Parthenon, a trabeated temple (columns and beams), and the Erechtheum, a building composed of walls. For Le Corbusier these building types became his Maison-Domino (columns and floor slabs) and his Maison Citrohan (parallel bearing walls), which Vincent Scully called a Megaron volume. Le Corbusier's designs for building complexes that he called Acropolitan incorporated both of these primary structural/spatial building types.

Titanic Strategy #1: Transparency and Accountability
The booklet "Saving the Titanic" was originally published by Paul Freundlich, founder of Green America (formerly Co-op America). It contains a dozen green strategies for our society to avoid the "icebergs" of climate change, nuclear catastrophe, economic collapse, and other ills. Today, we excerpt Solution #1, and over the next 12 days, we'll share the rest of Paul's solutions:
Honest reporting of the corporate footprint allows for internal improvement and external scrutiny. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines reflect the effort of thousands of stakeholders world-wide, and offer a respectable standard for reporting on the total impact of the business sector, already followed by thousands of companies.
The so-called Triple Bottom Line (tracking financial, environmental and social performance) provides useful markers to assess the true success or failure of organizations. Costs are calculated based not only on short-term overhead or materials, but variables such as recycling and downstream expenses for clean-ups and healthcare. European companies, particularly, have been sympathetic, but until the financial markets demand these calculations, it will mostly be a matter of public relations. The Triple Bottom Line also tends to reduce the impact of quarterly income statements (since it factors in long-term considerations) and force a more balanced evaluation of performance.
How: Continuing pressure on the financial industry and corporate boards to take reporting seriously. Beyond separate environ-mental and social impact reports, the most recent iteration is integrated reporting which brings together all components of the triple bottom line—social, environmental and financial—in one, integrated sustainability report.
Result: Assessments can be more easily made of individual companies, and aggregated data provides the big picture of industries, regions and global business.
Probability: Impressive progress in reporting over the past decade, and the flow seems in this direction. Yet the emotional and economic investment in business as usual is massive. Expect edgy but growing theoretical respect, with practical changes coming in those companies whose business is most related to environmental outcomes.
In the days that follow, we'll post the rest of Paul's 12 strategies for righting the ship. What do you think about transparency and accountability?

Good, but could be improved
By MrsWoody
from Glastonbury, CT
I got this so that I could stop contorting myself in a regular lounger and could comfortably read while lying on my stomach in the sun. While it is very comfortable for that, it is not as comfortable lying on your back. Since there are no arms on the chair there is nowhere to comfortably put your arms/hands, and in addition, although I am not that large a person, it could stand to be about 2 inches wider, which may help with the problem of finding a comfortable way to lay on your back. Also, I found that when laying on your back you need to reverse the head/face pillow so your head doesn't slip through the hole. The pocket on the side is great to store phone, tablet, sun screen, etc. The chair is quite large when folded and takes up quite a bit of space, it's also a bit difficult to set up when new but I'm hoping as it gets more use the tightness will give a bit and it will be easier to just pop open and sit. I'm not sure if I'd recommend this or not, it's not terrible, but it's not as great as I was expecting it to be, especially for the price.

My 50th Birtday Gift
By Belgian Toni
from Victoria BC CANADA
This was a gift from my sons for my 50th birthday. I love everything about the lounger except that it is not very wide, and I am not a large person. Also, it really is not very comfortable, the fabric is stretched so tightly against the frame, there is no give to the fabric whatsoever and no cushion to the fabric.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great product
By Cass
from canada
I use this lounger frequently for tanning outdoors. It is wonderful to finally have a lounger that is ergonomic and comfortable for a woman to lay prone. It is really light weight and durable. The only down side is fabric is not comfortable (very rough/scratchy), clearly built for durability. I use a towel at all times for the face rest and for the rest of it.

Shania Twain has hailed Blake Shelton a "true gentleman".
The 51-year-old singer joined the coaches of US talent show 'The Voice' on Monday (04.24.17) to advise the contestants, and she received a warm welcome from the 40-year-old country star and his fellow panelists.
Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight', the 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman!' hitmaker said: "He is just really sweet and kind. He was very nurturing and caring and welcoming to me ... a true gentleman.
"I feel so at home ... everybody has made me feel at home."
There's no doubt she's made a lasting impact on the Country Music industry, and Shania Twain was recognized as the Most Beautiful Woman of 2013 by Country Weekly Magazine's readership.
Though she hasn't put out a new album in over a decade, the "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" songstress is still the obvious favorite in the genre.
She's no stranger to red carpet craziness, and Shania Twain looked right at home in the arrivals area outside Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena ahead of the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards tonight (April 7).
Getting ready to start her new gig, Shania Twain made a memorable arrival to the Las Vegas strip on Wednesday (November 14).
The country singing sensation rode in on a horse to celebrate the start of her two year Sin City residency at Caesars Palace Hotel, where she will perform at the Colosseum.
Tinseltown romance has always been a fun phenomenon to observe, and over the past year we've seen a plethora of celebrities fall in love, get engaged, and tie the knot.
Britney Spears made headlines this month by accepting a marriage proposal from her longtime boyfriend Jason Trawick. The "Toxic" songstress will walk down the aisle a third time in the months to come.
He entered a guilty plea in September to criminal harassment and has since been locked up in jail, but Shania Twain's stalker Giovianni Palumbo was released earlier this week.
On Tuesday (November 15), Palumbo was sentenced to three years probation and is not allowed within 0.5 miles of the "You're Still the One" singer or her family and staff.
She's on her way to a full career comeback, and Shania Twain has released her first new single in six years.
The "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" songstress sings her heart out on "Today is Your Day," and it marks an important accomplishment for her.
It was a big night for Shania Twain, but the "Man I Feel Like a Woman" almost ended up on the injured list at the CMT Music Awards.
Ms. Twain took the stage at the Bridgestone Arena to present the award for Male Video of the Year when she got tripped up and fell to the ground.

Dan Walker, track coach at Weber State, already has one Durfee from Grantsville on his current squad and another recent high school graduate on the way after a two-year LDS mission is complete.
And that makes him more than a little familiar with the family.
So when Walker hears that another runner from the same clan might walk on once this one's mission is completed, he has no problem with that.
"Somewhere along the way, before they ever met us, they became tough young men," Walker said.
Dustin Durfee just completed his junior year with the Wildcats, a track season that ended with a couple of appearances for Durfee at the first round of the NCAA track championships in Austin, Texas.
While that was happening, Dustin's younger brother Bren was graduating from Grantsville High just after Bren Durfee finished second in the 400-meter run at the Class 3A state track meet.
The brothers are part of a family of nine, headed by father Chad and mother Jill Durfee. Almost everyone has run track and another, Dane, might try walking on at Weber State when his mission is over.
If there's a common characteristic running in the blood, besides running itself, it might be that the Durfees are a little bit on the quiet side.
"Extremely," Walker said. "It took us about three years to get a conversation out of Dustin. But he's got a fun sense of humor, and you've got to pay attention because he's quiet."
Dustin Durfee, part of the Weber State 1,600 relay team that took first at the Big Sky conference meet, qualified for the initial NCAA meet in that event and the 400 hurdles.
The latter is an event that Durfee only recently started to excel at, but the meet in Austin was the end of the season for Dustin, who was disappointed he wasn't one of the top 12 to advance to the championship round.
"That's why he's as good as he is, because he expects great things from himself," Walker said.
"I was just surprised," Dustin Durfee said. "I didn't really think I was going to get there and was kind of star struck."
As for Bren, he competed at state in the 400, 200, long jump and the medley relay for Grantsville. He was fourth in the 200, but his best event the 400 is not necessarily what one would call a favorite of his.
"I don't really like the race that much," he said. "The last 100 kills. It's just who has the most guts to get to the end."
Before Dustin Durfee started his current stint at Weber State, he also spent a year at the school before his own mission to Jacksonville, Fla. If Brent likewise waited a year before serving a mission, he would have one year of running with his older brother on the Wildcats' team. But that's not in the cards.
"That kind of made the decision a little harder," said Bren Durfee, who instead will go on his two-year LDS mission to Portugal starting in September. "It's mostly because they changed the age, and it's one of the most important things to me, so I wanted to go right away."

My daughter (8 months old) always has problem when slowing food, she chokes when drinking breast milk, eating solids when drinking water. Therefore I find it very difficult to feed her. Want to know whether this is normal or an issue my daughter is having and in that case is there any remedy for this problem
26th June 2012 12:35 AM #2
Hi mom8months,
Does your daughter 'choke' when she drinks breast milk from the breast or when it is expressed or both? Also when, you say she chokes can you describe this further? Is it more of a gag which then settles down or does she cough up food and milk and need you to gently tap her on the back?
The reason, I ask this is because in the helpful book Baby Led Weaning by Gill Rapley, the author explains how babies can gag when they have something in their mouth they are not expecting. So if you tried to start spoon feeding a baby who had previously been exclusively breastfed then the baby may gag because they do not know what to expect on the spoon (i.e. how liquidy it is, the mouth-feel and texture etc). Although this gagging can seem concerning at first to parents the baby is not choking but dealing with the food in their mouth and learning to move it around. This is one of the reasons Rapley advocates baby led weaning rather than spoon feeding a baby.
Another reason a baby can sound like they are choking is if the 'let-down' from the breast is particularly forceful. Is this a recent problem for your daughter (i.e. since you have started to wean her) or one that has always troubled her? Some bottles also allow the liquid through quicker than a baby can drink it.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope some of this information is useful to you.
Best wishes,

Hello Mom8Months,
LJ has given you some very good information. If you think that the choking is simply due to a new texture, or that she is taking the liquid too quickly, then that can be easily adjusted to help your daughter stop gagging/choking.
However, if you are concerned that it could be a structural problem (something not right in the mouth) Craniosacral Therapy can be very helpful.
Here's a video that shows how Craniosacral Therapy can help a bub go from gagging when a finger is offered to suck on, to being able to suck on the finger without gagging. You'll notice that the therapist first tests how flexible the baby's head is, so she knows better what to work on. All therapists treat a little differently, and this one tended to be a little more aggressive than others I've seen. Our entire family has seen an Osteopath who specializes in craniosacral therapy and we've all seen excellent results from it.
Here's another thread in this forum called Bub Gags When Eating. You may find some helpful information there too.
My guess is that your child may just be taking the liquids too quickly or maybe she's just not ready for food yet. That would be my guess, being that you didn't use the word "gag" but you used the word "choke".
Warm regards,

Law libraries are a great resource if you are representing yourself or if you just want to be better informed about the law.
Law libraries have books about:
Law libraries usually have self-help legal books. These books are written for people who are not lawyers. They explain the law in plain English and sometimes give you tips on how to handle your case. If you cannot find them in your law library, try your favorite bookstore or public library.
In addition to self-help books, you can read the laws and cases interpreting the laws. You can also find practice guides written for lawyers that provide more detailed information than self-help books.
You can also ask the librarian for materials on "reserve" or at the "reference desk."
To find a law library in your area:
Law Librarians on the Internet
California's county law libraries have created an online service that lets you chat live with a law librarian. The librarian can suggest or guide you to free online legal resources, recommend books and research techniques, and answer factual questions. Law librarians CANNOT interpret the law or give legal advice. Use the online Ask a Law Librarian service for research advice.
Law Library Research Guides
Sometimes law libraries have "research guides" that list books with information on your topic. Ask your law librarian for a research guide. Click to find a law library near you. Some law libraries also post their research guides online:
Garret W. McEnerney Law Library, Boalt Hall School of Law
Click on "Research Guides" in the list under "Research" on this site's home page.
Hastings Law Library, Hastings College of the Law
In the middle column, use the pull down the menu under "Research Guides" and select CA Legal Forms.
Hugh & Hazel Darling Law Library at the UCLA Law School
The following county law libraries also post online research guides:
Public Libraries
Many public libraries also have self-help legal books. Find a public library in your area.
The Internet has many resources with information about many different types of legal problems. When you use the Internet, make sure that you are visiting a reputable website. Just because it is on the Internet, does not mean it is true or accurate. Also, make sure that you are reading about information relevant to California and not another state which may have different laws.
Self-help legal books are written for people who are not lawyers. They explain the law in plain English and sometimes give you tips on how to handle your case. Many law libraries and public libraries can loan you self-help books. Or you can check your local bookstore.

Carrie Underwood & Miranda Lambert to debut 'Something Bad' at Billboard Music Awards
Listen to Carrie Underwood on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miranda Lambert on iHeartRadio
Two of country music's ambassadors are coming together for a must-see musical event. That's right: Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert are finally teaming up for their first-ever song collaboration. At this year's May 18th Billboard Music Awards, these powerhouses will be debuting their forthcoming "Something Bad" duet live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena stage.
Lifted from Lambert's upcoming Platinum disc (out June 3rd), the song is expected to be an "in your face" kind of thing, as Lambert has teased on more than on occasion. "I'm a huge Carrie Underwood fan," Lambert tells Billboard in a statement on Wednesday (May 7). "'Somethin' Bad' is a meshing of our styles and there aren't many female collaborations in our format so I'm really excited to be debuting it on the Billboard Awards."
Previously, Lambert has teased her high hopes for the accompanying video–seriously, why would they do a music video if it's not a single at some point? Exactly. "Two girls, from Texas and Oklahoma, that are living their dream right now," she told the Associated Press in March. "We're really rocking in country music. If you're sitting on the front row, you might want to scoot back."
On the song itself, she explained that "it's a force, you know what I mean? It just feels exciting. I'm ready to rock. Singing with Carrie really pushes me. It's been too long since two girls in our genre have come together like that." Of course, Lambert admitted to being pretty scared by Underwood's vocal range, "Singing with [her] is very, very intimidating."
I seriously can't wait to perform "Something Bad" with my girl, @mirandalambert at the #BillboardAwards Going to be EPIC! Are you're ready?!

More Z Projects
Christmas was good to the Z. Many projects were completed.
A. Materials- Roll of 5' x 20 feet of Semi Gloss Black, Flexible, Carbon Fiber Vinyl wrap.
I got a very good quality vinyl from Metro-Styling designed for both interior and exterior. On my Acura, with a lesser quality vinyl, I installed it in the engine compartment and was starting year #5 before selling it and it still looked great and was fully adhered.
This DIY takes cleaning, patience and practice, but is well worth it and the results can be excellent. Also as this is vinyl wrap, it leaves no residue after removal and everything wrapped is reversible.
1. Air Cleaner- CF wrapped around the BMW logo.
2. Air Intake- this was a multi step project but with a hair dryer used to heat the vinyl for shaping, allows compound curves to be installed. Not perfect but looks great.
3. New 68MM BMW Wheel Center caps- I custom cut the CF for covering the BMW Blue. DIY Removal- Si I did not chip the paint, to remove the Wheel Center Caps, I used a window suction cup. Wet the suction cut, press it fully on the center cap and give a quick firm pull and the caps pop right out.
4. BMW Roundels- front, both sides, rear and Steering wheel Roundels. I installed the Black CF over the BMW Blue.
5. CF Lamp Covers- Engine Compartment
5. Lower silver plastic Front Grills- this is my favorite.
B. Ash Grain Wood Dash Kit. I got this kit form CARID. The manufacturer was REMIN. They offered an exact OEM match to the Ash Grain in the Z. I purchased a sample for review before committing. I purchased the basic kit with 27 pieces. See attached schematic. I used 23 of the 27. This kit was designed around the base radio. I have the premium sound system with a different radio/CD player, so from my template, which I made, REMIN is making me a custom 2 price radio/cd kit. Pictures to follow.
This is my 3rd kit. For install DO NOT use the promoter pen suggested for small or curved pieces. It is not needed and it will stain the plastic where used, especially if you wanted to remove the kit or get it on any other surface in the car. This kit and all others that I have used from other companies, use 3M auto body tape to adhere the pieces to the dash and works perfect. This is my 3rd kit and I have never had a piece come loose.
Keys to the Install:
1. Clean, clean and clean again the surface of the plastic where the piece is to be installed with 70% Isopropyl alcohol. This is absolutely critical especially if Armor All or other silicone products have been used on the dash., like I used. I had to go over each section at least 8-10 times with clean alcohol to prep the surface.
Use the blue masking tape to test if the surface is ready. If the tape sticks, the surface is ready.
2. Pre fit the piece to verify fit.
3. KEY- use a hair dryer, heat gun, etc, to heat the piece and especially the 3M tape on the back, as well as warming the dash area for the installation. By heating the 3M tape before install, you have the ability to gently pull the piece off and re locate if needed.
4. For small pieces pull the protective tape off completely and install.
5. For larger pieces- I only pull off 1/4 of the tape so and leave a trailing edge of the red tape to continue after the piece is correctly located. Once the piece is partially installed you can lay the rest of it on the surface and jointly pull the backing tape off and install at the same time.
6. For installation, ,Ever so lightly lay the piece on the dash to verify location. DO NOT put any pressure on the piece, until you are happy with the location, fit and install.
7. After you are happy with the install, use, use a dot, lint free towel and the hair dryer and go over the piece lighting heating and applying pressure.
8. Removal- if you meed to remove the dash kit, again the use the hair dryer, heat the piece and pull from corner.
See attached before and after photos.
C. Real Carbon Fiber Door Sills- Install same as above.
2009 BMW Z4 35i/Space Gray Metallic/7 Speed DCT/Premium,Cold Weather & Premium Sound Packages/Nav/Comfort Access/Ash Grain Interior & Dash Kit/AntiTheft/SportWheel/PDC/WindDeflector/Black Kansas Leather/Smoked Reflectors, Side Markers & 3rd Brake Light/Ferrari Red Brake Calipers/Clear Front Mask/Gloss Black Grill Inserts/6000K LED Lighting/De-Badged/Aluminum Pedal Set/Real Carbon Fiber BMW Door Sills/CF Wrapped Engine Compartment Roundels,F Lower Grills & Center Wheel Caps.
I really like all the work you did and I can imagine it was very time consuming. Carbon fiber was a good choice, but not a fan of the wood grain look on the interior.
BMW 335is, Cobb tune with VRSF intercooler, Injen CAI, and BMS downpipes. 382/414 rwhp/tq. Le Mans blue with Black Dakota leather, Convenience and Premium packages, 19" wheels, 7 speed DCT, heated seats, Nav., Harmon Kardon Logic 7 stereo w/ Satellite radio. 2015 BMW X1 28iXdrive M Sport, LeMans Blue, with Black Dakota leather, Premium and Technology packages, with heated seats, satellite radio.
As I bought the Z used and it was fully loaded, I accepted the Ash Grain. I wanted to convert the interior to Carbon Fiber but there is not good kit to cover the wood without a hack job. I have learned to live with and like the Ash Grain. The new Dash Kit does make a world of differemce and gives the interior a rich feel

Maudsley gives this instance as an example of the latter, while Krafft-Ebing gives it as an example of the former.
Casper, continues Krafft-Ebing, thoroughly diagnosed the phenomenon.
Krafft-Ebing gives the details of five cases of "acquired" sexual inversion.
It would be only her sickened imagination that made him something with a whip out of Krafft-Ebing.
They adopt the habit, as Krafft-Ebing himself says, faute de mieux.
Thus, Krafft-Ebing states that adult unmarried women between the ages of 25 and 30 often show nervous symptoms and peculiarities.
(B) Ultimately, Krafft-Ebing attacks the problem of what he calls "the innate morbid phenomenon" of sexual inversion.
It must be observed, in criticising Krafft-Ebing's theory, that it is so constructed as to render controversy almost impossible.
Krafft-Ebing calls attention to this relation between religious and sexual feeling in psycho-pathological states.
Krafft-Ebing considers that this error is due to the jurists, while the theologians have always distinguished correctly.

St. Lawrence was my first choice among a mix of ten other private liberal arts and Ivy League schools. I came to it from Burnt Hills, NY as a first generation college student with a plan to be chemistry major. Through the people of St. Lawrence, my grand plan took a different direction. The people of St. Lawrence – professors, advisors, staff, and students – have a way of accepting the good and giving it back. My first influential leader at SLU was economist Dr. Richardson, who recognized my knack for economics in an introductory class I was using to fulfill a distribution requirement.
Throughout my busy time at St. Lawrence, I was an athlete (cross country running), a dancer, a student athletic trainer, the PR chair for KDS, I ran the budget side of the Hill News, chaired the sign language club, was a tutor and T.A. in economics and accounting, and I traveled abroad to Costa Rica and Spain on breaks. Everyone at SLU gave me a reason to become involved in something new and meaningful. There are so many opportunities for activism and adventure at St. Lawrence that I feel like I was still discovering new options the day I graduated and still meeting people involved in something amazing that didn't fit into my 4 years but through whom I could still learn from through their experiences, like in ice climbing or semester in the Adirondacks.
The way I saw it, each professor in the Economics department was a leader of the group, and they all led together to nurture futures. I completed an empirical senior honors thesis in economics on the returns to (higher) education in Spain with the dedicated advisory of 3-4 professors. My work went on to win the Samuel L. Johnson bibliography prize through the library, and I set off to the PhD program in economics at UCSB where I was a Eugene Cota-Robles fellow and obtained my M.A. through the program.

can't say enough good about UW madison
For the greater part of 2010 I was treated by the physician staff of Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University Medical Center of St. Louis, MO. I've changed to another hospital in St. Louis for further treatment at this time.
My main treating physicians at Barnes were:
Dr. David Linehan, whom I refer to as the "happy cutter", an hepato-biliary surgeon of excellent reputation and highly experienced at liver surgery. He twice reviewed me for possible liver resection but unfortunately both times he found that the IHCC tumor mass had infiltrated too far into the liver vasculature to permit a likely outcome of surgical success--if I understand him correctly. The reason I refer to him as the "happy cutter" is that he seemed to me to be almost enthusiastically happy when surgery seemed a likely possibility, but spoke to me very little and much less joyously once surgery was ruled out. He seems to truly enjoy his surgical work! Can't say enough good about him, except I wish he could have done the resection.
Dr. Benjamin Tan, whose specailities include medical oncology and hematology. He oversaw the chemotherapy administered to me this year, and the outcome was reported as quite successful, having shrunk the "huge" single tumor by about one-half in size from 10+ cm to about 5+ cm .over the course of treatment in spring, summer and fall of 2010. In all honesty, his course of treatment has led me to state that Barnes has the best scientific-based (AMA and FDA-approved science, I might add, for better and for worse) presently available for cholangiocarcinoma in the St. Louis area. My experience with Dr. Tan would lead me to agree with another reporting here that Dr. Tan seems somewhat conservative in his approach to treatment.
I have also consulted with another Barnes phycician of exceptionally high repute, who said to me "Unfortunately, we have not been very successful in our consertavive approach to treating Cholangioncarcinoma, except for surgical resection where possible. Therefore, you have little to lose by pursuing alternative treatment methods." This means that in the understanding of some of the best minds at Barnes, they are applying treatments which are unlikely to be completely successful, and yet by adhering to conservative methods, they are closing their minds to alternative methods which might work.
Dr. Tan has repeatedly told me that no patient suffering from cholangiocarcinoma and being treated by Barnes has survived more than four years after the date of the original CC diagnosis--unless the patient undergoes a successful surgical resection. All that being said, Dr. Tan is, as yet, the only physician with whom I have encountered a personality conflict severe enough to require me to seek treatment elsewhere. I am now being treated with chemotherapy by a medical oncologist at another local St. Louis area hospital.
Dr. Robert Myerson, Professor of Radiation Oncology. An excellent and persuasive communicator, with a great knowledge of radiology, cancer, and with the patience required to answer many of my questions about radioembolization and stereotactic body radiation therapy. He and his associates designed and administered the five SBRT treatments in a clinical trial during August and September 2010. Follow-up is to be scheduled.
Tom-Sorry that Barnes was not a positive expierence for you, but for every negative there is a positive. I am the positive. I was diagnosed thursday at 3:30 on July 31, 2008 at Barnes West County and by friday night I was at "big Barnes" and on sunday morning Dr. William Chapman was at my bedside. I never had to ask questions because they gave us so much hope and information. (I am sure we probably did ask though)
My oncologist was Dr. Rama Suresh, she sent me a hand written and signed christmas card!! My radiation oncologist was Dr. Parik, who I stopped by to say thank you to last week, knew every detail of my illness the last year even though I hadn't seen him since December 2008.
My liver doctor is Dr.Jeffrey Crippin, my new best friend!
I saved the best for last Dr. William Chapman my transplant surgeon. What can you say about a man who saved your life twice. When I coded on July 4,2009 he wouldn't give up on me and went again others negative opinions to continue life saving measures, which meant another liver transplant, he found me a liver in 14 hours. The most amazing part is he considers me a miracle and sent me a letter saying how amazing I was. Dr. Chapmans staff is every bit as humble, dedicated and unpretenious as he is.
I feel a reponsibility to make sure this information is out there. It is the one way I can honor my donors, the doctors and hospital that help me see my daughter graduate, 3 christmas's, 3 more birthdays....
I wish everybody who has to go through this awful cancer, could come out on the positive side like I did.
Good luck and all my prayers to this special family- Cathy

I want to let people know that the Ohio state cancer research does provide some interesting research on bile duct cancer.
this web-site will let you to a research and clinical trial about a drug called
AZD 6244 (Selumetinib) ,I belive it is still in phase 2.
other research clinial trials related to bile duct cancer are :
Protocol OSU-09083;OSU-09092:OSU-09067 and SWOG-50809
My experience with CC included the following:
3/10/09 ERCP w/ 1 long and 2 short stents Columbia Presbyterian Hospital (now known as NY Presbyterian) New York, NY
Dr. Peter Stevens, Director of Endoscopy, Diag: bile duct cancer CC
(note: Dr. Stevens passed away 8/2011 of prostate cancer)

4/8/09 Left hepatic lobe resection Columbia Presbyterian Hospital
Dr. Tomoaki Kato, (two VT events, 12 hr surgery)
5/09 CAT scans Columbia Presbyterian Hospital
Dr. Abby Siegel, Oncology follow up - clear
6/5/09 Chemotherapy
12/2009 Chemo done
12/09 to present routine followup (CT and CT/PET scans, blood tests)
Dr Kato is a superb surgeon, and very easy to talk to. He is also willing to take more risk than more than most cc surgeons and he has the skills to go along with that. My experience at NY Presbyterian was overwhelmingly positive. One aspect of NY Presbyterian that I think is unique is the way the hospital tends to insulate patients from their own administrative internal procedures. While Dr Kato may discuss taking a patient or not for surgery with others in the Digestive Diseases Group, he is the final word, not a 'cancer board'. He will also render opinions w/o a person formally becoming a patient and traveling to NYC.
If anyone would like to email me, feel free to use this board's email feature. I will also make myself available to anyone who would like to talk on the phone ... just email me and I'll email my cell number to you.
I had my Whipple surgery at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY, by Dr. James Peacock. He was excellent, thorough, very forthcoming with information and highly skilled.
Surgeon - Dr. James O. Park Univ. of Wash. (he is ACES)
Oncology - Dr. Michelle Zang (South Lake clinic - Renton Wa. (again very good)
I needed some urgent help in identifying the right hospital and doctor for my mother hepatobiliary surgery in new York. Just about 2 weeks back we have found that she has her right duct blocked and it is a case of colangicarcinoma. We live in India but for the surgery we decided to come to new York as our doctors said here the expertise level is very high. Now we are confused as to which surgeon to choose. We have met dr. Yuman fong who is a hepatobiliary surgeon and oncologist at sloan Kettering. Second doctor we are meeting is dr. Jean emond at Columbia hospital, he is a hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgeon.
I am requesting to seek help in assessing whether to go for a hepatobiliary surgeon with expertise is oncology or liver transplant. Secondly, any one knows between these 2 doctors who is more known for cc surgery?
Kentucky Jack-
We, too, sought another opinion because I felt Dr. Tan was "too" conservative...he certainly treated us and warned us it may kill my dad (and almost did twice in five weeks) but that is the job of an oncologist! We did ultimately switch to Dr. Andrea Wang-Gillam as primary oncologist for my dad from Dec 2010-March 2011. She was proactive in all treatment and we also sought a fourth opinion in Dr. Wells Messersmith (University of Colorado Hospital , Aurora) to ensure there was no other tx. It seems between Barnes and USC there is little on the i-70 corridor in between! He assured us he would have recommended the same course of action and treatment.My dad passed away shorthly after the Colorado consult, so we were never able to follow up. I loved Dr. Messersmith's bedside manner and thought into the consultation!!! If anyone ever wants further details on Barnes or University of Colorado, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
My dad was being treated by Renato Lenzi, at MD Anderson. Excellent ultra-competent and he himself is a cancer survivor (colon cancer 2002). Unfortunately, Dr. Lenzi has been seriously ill, don't know why. Now treated by Dr. Varadachary at MDA, who also specializes in GI/Cancer Unknown Primary.
Does anyone have recommendations about surgeons/oncologists in Chicago?
Dr. John Brems 1-847-695-6600; excellent liver and abdominal surgeon,clinical professor of surgery,Loyola University in Chicago. I was his patient 2 years ago.But most importantly, he is well respected by his peers in the GI surgical filed.He is currently also the surgical director of Center for Advanced Liver and Pancreatic Care at ShermanHealth System.
God bless.
Hi everyone! My brother Bruce (Pittsburgh, PA) has an outstanding trio of doctors:
Surgeon: Dr. Wallis Marsh (UPMC)
Oncologist: Dr. Stanley Marks (UPMC - Hillman Center)
General Physician: Dr. Jim Gleason
For folks in the Santa Cruz-Monterey Bay Area, I have been treated/advised by the following physicians:
1) Dr. Michael Yen: Oncology (Santa Cruz)
2) Dr. Jay Meisel: Radiation Oncology (Santa Cruz)
3) Dr. Lester Miller: Internist,Rheumatology (Santa Cruz)
4) Dr. Carlos Esquivel: Stanford Hospital, Surgery Center
5) Dr. George Fisher: Stanford Hospital, Cancer Center
Resources are limited in this area, we are fortunate to be near Stanford. Dr. Fisher is an authority on CC. Dr. Miller has practiced and taught for forty years, and is my local "go to guy" for advice.
Head to St. Louis!! Dr. William Chapman at Barnes-Jewish St. Louis MO. He is one of the best (google him), he saved my life twice, I am a CC survivor because of God and him, and that is exactly how he would list it!
Lots of prayers-Cathy
Read my story at thetelegraph.com under christmas miracle
I am sure he is listed on here.
Dr. Myron Schwartz
Mt. Sinai Hospital , NY City
He saved my mother's life.
Hi everyone. I got my liver resection at University of Pittsburgh David Geller (wonderful)
However I live in Portland Oregon, therefore my oncologist is Gina Vaccaro
Best of Luck!
I was being treated at Mayo in Minnesota but changed last year to Regions Cancer Care Center in St Paul Minnesota. I see Dr Randy Hurley and am very pleased with him.
My daughter, Lauren, receives her care at The University of Michigan Hospitals .
Her oncologist is Dr. Mark Zalupski.
Her liver specialist and surgeon (if she is ever able to have surgery) is Dr. Christopher Sonnenday.
Dr. Zalupski is more to the point kind of doctor. Dr. Sonnenday is very warm and caring.
Providing some info for SoCal readers. My sister (32 at the time) had a Whipple performed in 2009 and adjuvant chemo (Gemzar/Xeloda) for 6 months (2 weeks on, 1 off). So far we've been working through the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and have had no problem with their aggressive planning and decisive nature. Currently investigating radiation oncologists and others for more variety in opinions.
Dr. Oscar Joe Hines, surgeon, UCLA
Dr. Edward Garon, chemotherapy oncologist, UCLA
Dr. Percy Lee, prospective radiation oncologist, UCLA
Hi. Dad is in Lexington, KY. Here are his doctors:
Oncologist: Dr. Willliam Camp, Lexington Clinic
Surgeon: Dr. William Walton
Radiologist: Dr. Shailendra Chopra
Though it's a smaller clinic than the major cancer centers, we can't say enough good things about his doctors and the care he's gotten there.
Second opinions:
University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center. Dr. Philip A. DeSimone.
Cleveland Clinic: Dr. Dale Shepard
We really, really liked Dr. Shepard. We left the appointment with more clarity about the situation than we'd had in the 2 months since dad's diagnosis.
I'm seeing a local oncologist in Huntsville AL, and then I got to MD Anderson to see Dr. Javle. We will be going next month for scans and meeting with him again.
I wasn't officially 'diagnosed' until the pathology report of my removed organs was done... My ERCP was done in Sarasota by Dr. Scott Corbett and once the biopsy came back 'atypical suspicious fibrous cells', we started researching and ended up going to Sloan Kettering in NY. My doctor who performed the liver resection is the Chief of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Dr. William Jarnagin, and he was fantastic. Very positive, and his staff that assisted him during surgery was great also. Dr. Matthew Weiss was a fellow under Dr. Jarnagin and he was excellent as well.
I have not started Chemotherapy yet (Friday the 13th is day 1) and it will be Gemzar initially with Cisplatin being added if I tolerate the Gemzar well. My local oncologist in Sarasota, Dr. Richard Buck, is excellent. I haven't had an appointment that lasted less than a half an hour. He answers all of your questions, is very easy going, and very knowledgable as well. He has also been very willing to collaborate with my surgeon's oncology counterpart at Sloan Kettering, Dr. Yelena Janjigian. I actually sent an email to Dr. Javle at MD Anderson and within an hour, he answered me! His recommended treatment was very similar to what my current oncologists recommended as well.
Since CC is so rare and there are no specific adjuvant therapy protocols, the more the merrier if you ask me! In any event, I'm about 4 months post surgery, and my most recent CT on 12/27 was extremely clean. Only difference, the remaining piece of my liver grew down to the left so my anatomy is way off. No liver on my right side, small intestines are there instead (very loud after I eat or drink...). Liver is almost the same size as it was originally and all bloodwork showed liver function 100% normal. Let's see how I do with chemo...
