Cobalt Restaurant and Lounge - Vero Beach Hotel and Spa
Online Reservations
Lunch is actually more interesting and better than brunch which offers quite strange types of food...Lunch is very good, with wonderful sweet potato fries and good selection of sandwiches...the lobster roll is quite possibly the best in Vero Beach. The view is magnificent watching the ocean...Even on a windy day which forced us to be inside, we could watch the waves that day.
Overall, the dining experience at Cobalt was very good. Although there were at times gaps in service, the waiter was charming and helpful. My son had oysters and a delicious steak. I chose the local tile fish which was delicious. We would recommend this spot to any visitors to Vero Beach
Wonderful food, fresh fish and the bananas foster bread pudding was something to remember.
We had a great dinner celebrating my sister's wedding. The waiter was friendly and the food was wonderful! especially the desserts (!)
We are not visitors in Vero Beach and we had dined at Cobalt before. It had always been good but this was spectacular. No kidding the food was beyond good. Four of us travel a great deal and one couple have a home in San Francisco. We all four agreed it was simply great. The chef is excellent. I would recommend it without hesitation.
2 of us had Sunday brunch which was the best in the area. The country ham omelet was amazing. We were so hungry we had the giant ricotta pancake on the side. The service was a bit slow at the beginning as they were very busy but the manager and server did everything they could to make up for it. I would recommend this brunch as the place to take out of town guests or just to relax on a Sunday. The food, service and view are outstanding.
The food and menu offerings at this restaurant are excellent. Service is strangely inconsistent and not indicative of the overall dining experience. Everything on the menu is unique and light while portions are more than adequate. None of the dishes seem dated and all offer something a bit different than you would find at other restaurants locally. The seafood is fresh and well prepared. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant.
This is truly one of the best dining experiences in Vero Beach. Outstanding menu. Great drinks and desserts, and impeccable service and attention to detail. Terrific atmosphere. We loved our experience so much that we returned the following night to dine ocean side on the patio outside the bar. It was wonderful- try it!
We ate at Cobalt several times, while we stayed at the Vero Beach Hotel and Spa. The wait staff was friendly and very knowledgeable, although sometimes, there were too few of them. Their recommendations were spot on - the scallops were perfect, and we tried an array of small plates - each one better than the next. The best surprise though, were the truffle fries. They were melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and a lovely treat!
The dining room was very welcoming and the view was outstanding. There is a large outdoor dining area which did not in any way obstruct the view of the ocean, etc. Our waiter was very well versed in the menu and did an excellent job answering any questions as well as suggesting other items we might like. The presentation was quite nice and the service was wonderful. We went there on my wife's birthday and we were welcomed with a "Happy Birthday". We will be returning to the Cobalt again... Ron Krause
We sat on the patio and this was quite possibly the best view I've ever had at a restaurant. Every table was full, but It was quiet enough to visit. The food was okay, not the best brunch I've ever eaten, but it was tasty and the view/ambience completely made up for it. It was also reasonably priced. We will definitely eat there again!
Our group had several food allergies. The staff was very attentive. We were confident they were looking out for out interests. The chef even came out and helped us with our choices. I would most certainly eat there again!
We came for a birthday. The menu was very interesting, so we thought we would try it. We tried 5 different courses. The food is very good, but just missing a little something to make it spectacular. We were pleased, but ultimately disappointed. Thank you
Booking through open table is recommended. On a crowded night the greet staff promptly showed us to our table for two. The obvious draw to Cobalt is its view of the ocean with an expanse of windows which provides any seat in the house with at least a glimpse of Vero Beach. Ours was center stage. This is a kid friendly hotel as well as a place for business meetings so there were children dining, however everyone seemed to be well behaved; the noise level was fine. Our server was courteous and attentive but not evenly so. He knew his menu and daily specials without referring to any notes...I like that. The menu was varied and offered many interesting choices for all courses. Nice weekend bar scene. This is upscale dining at an upscale hotel.
Service was spot-on and unobtrusive. Menu was varied and delicious! The ocean view spectacular!
I took my girlfriend here for lunch for her birthday. We were seated at a nice table by the window with an ocean view - a little too warm to sit outside - so this was perfect. We both had the grilled swordfish sandwich. I was leary because I never had it before - but our waitress told me that it was very mild and juicy so I tried it. It was delicious! We also had the peach creme brulee for dessert and it was delicious as well. We were able to sit for a long time without being rushed and had a very enjoyable lunch. After, we sat down by the pool under an umbrella and had a few drinks while soaking in the beautiful ocean view. This is a beautiful hotel and I love to bring friends here because I am never disappointed!
Food was amazing... we had the salmon and the snapper. Service was the best that I have ever experienced with the (seemingly) entire staff (including the chef) checking in with us every 15 - 20 minutes. Capped by a view of the Atlantic Ocean.... DEFINATELY worth the trip!
had a great meal at cobolt . The farm greens salad with strawberries and blue cheese was light and fresh and the dressing didn't overwhelm the greens. Entre was chicken breast with potatoes and a corn pudding that was poured over the chicken as a sauce. Breast was very tender. Dessert was their signature brownie pyramid which is a brownie topped with dulce de leche ice cream and raspberry sorbet. It was good but not great. Brownie needed to be heated up, and more chocolatey tasting. The ambiance would have been quiet and refined, as I was sat in the side room, but there was a table next to me with small children whose parents allowed them to scream and run around.
Great gluten-free offerings for the modern foodie. Even offered gluten-free bread upon seating and declared that chef would make any requested adjustments to suit special needs. Menu hits on every protein type and interest.
Jason (Kitchen Manager) very friendly and engaging. Food delicious and perfectly prepared and service was excellent.
Wow what a great dinner the 4 of us had! Tom was our very gracious server, patiently answering a slew of questions by one in our party. Everything, I mean every item was prepared to perfection. I will never forget the snapper I ate, cooked and seasoned to absolute mouth-watering perfection! Other dishes devoured included the Tuna, Flatiron Steak, and the Braised Short Ribs. Dessert was (no pun intended) more icing on the cake. Creme Brûlée was drool-worthy, as was the Red Velvet Cake and Ice Cream, and the Fudge with Raspberry Topping. No complaints whatsoever. We were thrilled to be here to celebrate a small family reunion and an anniversary. 5+ Stars, very highly recommend. Thank you to our server Tom, our Chef, and to Cobalt.
As Kimpton InTouch members we were pleasantly surprised to find that this restaurant has really stepped up its game for years past. Wonderful experience...Bravo!..we will be back!
We has the spring pea soup!!! Best sou I have EVER tasted!!!had opa and filet. Divine. Creme brûlée was sumptuous and the red velvet cake delicious. Our waitress from England /Australia was perfectly wonderful. Fun and knew her menu!!! Chef Michael came 2 times to our table. Worth every penny.
We totally enjoyed our dinner - the chef has perfected very intricate flavors - Richard, our server has perfected the art of service
We have been here several times and it never disappoints, delicious, beautiful setting- wound recommend:)l
Great atmosphere - wonderful food selection. Austin was a very attentive server! Will come back
Our server was attentive, delightful and friendly. The Birthday Girl loved her English accent. You will enjoy COBALT Restaurant..
Lunch and dinner were both really good. Very nice service people.
Cobalt has just about everything one could ask for. The restaurant has a large bar room and a gorgeous outside patio overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with fire pits and seating arrangements. The atmosphere is lovely, muted with lots of space between tables. Cobalt has an excellent chef and Florida is blessed with incredible seafood so we both enjoyed fish entrees. That was truly outstanding. However, we would have enjoyed the evening more had our server been more attentive.
Upon entering the music from the bar was outrageously loud. Therefore asked for the table furthest away. Service was superb. food was attractively garnished and served. Noise level decreased somewhat while we were eating however velocity increased again as it was time for coffee and dessert. Chose to take our coffee outside to finish our dinner. I realize profits are made on the bar, but it would be more pleasant dining if glass pocket doors could be installed as they did for the banquet room. Quiet piano music is most appreciated when dining in a facility such as that. Let the younger set enjoy their loud music and afford your more mature clients relaxing fine dining.
If you have never eaten here you have been missing out on a great dining experience. The chef presents innovative dishes with seasonal vegetables. The snapper and scallop dishes are exceptional but you can t go wrong with any of his entrees. The service with Richard is professional but also personable. My husband and I always look forward to dining here
With the pounding surf of the south Atlantic ocean as the ambient music, how could this restaurant be anything other than spectacular? Gorgeous location at the Vero Beach Resort and Spa with sand dunes outside, a romantic fire pit and the ocean-oh the ocean! With that theme in mind, I had the grouper which was gently seasoned over black rice and artichoke hearts. The pumpkin soup as the appetizer which fit the autumn theme of the month, was simply the best I've ever tasted. My husband was wowed by his beet salad and seafood over pasta as the entree. The desserts were spectacular. The carrot pineapple butter icing cake was beautiful to look at and even better to eat! The fudge pudding with brandied sauce was lighter and also delicious.
A delightful lunch meeting place for old friends. My lunch guest and I were so comfortable and relaxed that we spend 3 ½ hours chatting, eating and enjoying the view of the ocean. The food was outstanding as usual.
Although the menu was full of great selections, I was in the mood for lighter fare so I asked for a vegetarian dish and Chef served his vegetable pick of the day and it was great! Beautiful presentation and delicious. He also visited our table to make sure the dish, which was not on the menu was satisfactory. We decided to splurge and get dessert. The toffee bread pudding was sinfully delicious and I'm glad I indulged! Bread basket, always an indicator, was memorably good. Food service provided a sampling of wine to decide which glass to get. Very friendly, efficient and pleasing atmosphere.
Great Oceanside dining with a varied menu and attentive service
The quality of the food is amazing. There is a wonderful view if you are dinning inside or outside. The red snapper was grilled to perfection. They change their menu with the season. All of the desserts are made in house. What a great and romantic experience. You can't go wrong.
We always enjoy the food at the Cobalt Restaurant. It is the best quality and the staff are extremely friendly. It is fun sitting near the fire pit and very romantic! The food is outstanding from the appetizers, main entree, to dessert. We can't say enough about the menu and quality of the food!
The service was excellent and for the most part so was the food. My wife had the beet salad while it had a good flavor profile it could have used more of a variety of beets to balance out the vinaigrette and over abundance of endive. My wife and I both had the Scallops and we both agreed that the risotto could have used more cook time as it was still some what crunchy.
Service very friendly and professional. Creative menu containing items not seen before that were delicious (Pumpkin soup). Red Snapper a bit dry. Outstanding deserts--Compliments to the pastry chef. Comfortable and relaxed setting made the experience first class!
Best beach front dining in Vero Beach. Attentive service, varied menu ( even for Gluten free) and great setting make a popular choice for a classy lunch. Parking near the hotel can be a challenge but there is valet parking offered.
Went on a Friday night for business dinner, ambience was great, sat outside, server was knowledgeable and helpful with menu. Though I must admit was disappointed with the "domestic" wine list, hence I prefer international wines (i.e. Spain, Argentina) but the wine we were satisfy with the wine we had. Food met our expectations as did dessert. Overall a great evening
We went to Colbalt to celebrate our anniversary.EVERYTHING was perfect! Food was excellent and our waiter(Ethan) was very attentive without being annoying!he had great knowledge of the menu and made spot on recommendations . The outside dining was perfect(the full moon did help)This will become our special occasion go to place
Great views of the ocean . Great service and nice selections on menu from full meals to small plates . The patio is also fun for after dinner drinks
Had a lovely meal outside the dining room, loved the beet salad and olives. Plan on a return visit soon.
The chef offers very interesting, creative dishes. Love the oysters on the half shell as an appetizer - wish they were served at lunch - the brunch is very innovative as well -
We have been eating here almost every Tues night this summer - bottle of fine wines at 1/2 price special - but it is the food and service that brings us back -oysters on the half shell great - beautifully prepared fish and meat dishes - service by Richard first rate and always professional.
My Wife and I, as well as our extended family, have enjoyed Chef Michael and his Team for years. Cobalt ALWAYS excels in their Food and Service. Perfect venue for a valued culinary experience. Service is always top rated and Chef Michaels' menu manipulation is always excellent and locally sourced. A perfect gem in Vero Beach.
There is a new fall menu that is great - even the sauces for the oysters on the half shell have gone an interesting notch up - I had the pan roasted black grouper - could melt in your mouth - tried the duck confit ravioli - innovative - service with Richard is special - he knows the menu, is attentive and very professional. Dinner at Cobalt is always special./
This is a beautiful restaurant , they have thought of everything. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would love to come back.
Everything about our time at Cobalt was perfect. The food, the service, the ambiance. Will be going back ASAP.

Amplification and detection of HHV-6 DNA U65-U66 gene region using TaqMan real-time PCR technology. The test is performed pursuant to an agreement with Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.
If positive, results are reported as human herpesvirus-6 DNA detected.
Negative or no human herpesvirus-6 DNA detected
Clinical Utility: Human herpes virus type-6 (HHV-6) is the cause of roseola infantum, an illness characterized by an erythematous maculopapular rash with high fever in 20% of children. The disease is also called exanthum subitum and Sixth disease. Other illnesses include undifferentiated febrile illness without rash or localized signs, febrile seizures (common with roseola), infectious mononucleosis-like syndromes, hepatitis, and neurologic syndromes (e.g., encephalitis). Transplant recipients may have fever, hepatitis, leukopenia, delayed engraftment, neurologic disease, skin rashes, pneumonia, and bone marrow suppression. The virus may contribute to disease progression with HIV-1 and exacerbate disease with other viruses. The diagnosis of HHV-6 infection is increasingly being made by PCR, and HHV-6 DNA has been detected in specimens from solid-organ and bone marrow transplant recipients; children with roseola, acute febrile illnesses, encephalitis and febrile seizures, and other manifestations of primary infection; and AIDS patients. Quantitative PCR assays should be used in immunocompromised patients to associate infection with disease, predict and monitor disease progression, assess efficacy of antiviral therapy, and to facilitate our understanding of the pathogenesis of HHV-6. In these patients, viremia is considered to be the best predictor of disease, and quantitative measures of HHV-6 DNA in blood is useful for the continued surveillance and management of transplant patients.

Stephen Schramm
In one corner of the whitewashed wooden building that stands a few paces outside the fence surrounding Seventy-First High School's football stadium, Bob Paroli sat in his leather office chair, taking off his shoes.
He'd spent 55 years as a high school football coach. After announcing his resignation in August, Friday night's 27-24 loss to South View could have been his final game.
Note the conditional. Neither the 81-year old Paroli nor his son and longtime assistant Mike could say with any certainty that he wouldn't return to a sideline somewhere. But for now, there is no next game on his schedule.
Paroli's legacy is hard to miss. A sign commemorating his 2008 state title hangs on a fence beyond one end zone. T-shirts commemorating his 400th victory - he's got 403 now, seven shy of the state record - were still being hawked at the concession stand. A few miles down Raeford Road, the stadium at Douglas Byrd - where he coached from 1980-2005 - still bears his name.
But the idea of that career reaching its conclusion was something he said he had not yet begun to process.
"I haven't dwelled on it," Paroli said. "I knew it was coming."
If he had to guess, Sunday might be when it hits him. Sunday afternoons, he said, offer some peace and tranquility. He said he'll sit in the carport in his backyard with his 17-month old puppy - a black lab and German shepherd mix named Buddy - and enjoy the quiet.
But Friday was too busy marching along to its usual rhythms. The field was painted as soon as the dew dried. There was a brief team meeting during Mike Paroli's fourth-period weight-lifting class. After school, the team boarded buses and headed off to the pregame meal.
Ankles were taped and muscles were stretched. About 15 minutes before kickoff, Paroli shared laughs with old friends in the shadows between the slowly filling stadium and dimly lit practice field. A few minutes later, Paroli slowly walked on the field while his red-clad team raced by him in single file.
"It hasn't been an emotional day," Paroli said. "That's good because I didn't want that."
The next few hours saw Seventy-First (0-10 overall, 0-6 Mid-South) jump out to an early lead but fall victim to a strong second half by South View (3-8, 2-4).
And then it was over.
The postgame speech lasted no more than two minutes, roughly as long as the prayer that followed. The handful of former players waiting for a brief handshake and conversation were one of the lone signs of anything different.
"Right now, I have no regrets as far as this being the last one," Paroli said. "If it is, in fact, the last one."

Costume and Textiles "Eagle" Quilt Made in Pennsylvania, United States, North and Central Americac. 1880-1910 Attributed to Elizabeth Ebersole, American, 1798 - 1892 Cotton Currently not on view 1997-174-13 Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Raley, 1997 |
LabelThis is one of a group of similar quilts produced in the late nineteenth through early twentieth centuries in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The design of an eagle wearing a shield is said to have originated during the American Civil War and is probably derived from the Great Seal of the United States. The central stylized star pattern within an abstract sun - common to all of the quilts in the group - is reminiscent of Pennsylvania German barn signs; the single tulip in each corner is unique to this example. The quiltmaker, Mrs. Elizabeth Ebersole, lived with her husband, John, on a farm on Colebrook Road in Elizabethtown. |

St. Aubin also tweeted Horton has not yet heard from two other prominent teams that are in search of a new head coach.
As of Wednesday evening Horton has still not heard from his agent about SD or Chiefs.

Horton interviewed for the St. Louis Rams vacancy last season, with the team brass apparently leaving very impressed. While he has been a coordinator for just two seasons, many believe he is ready to take over a team.
Monday, before news of Whisenhunt's dismissal was made public, some Cardinals players expressed hope Horton would not be leaving for a job somewhere else.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The death of a University of Virginia women's lacrosse player was an accident, said a lawyer for the man accused of killing her.
Defense lawyer Francis Lawrence said Tuesday he was confident Yeardley Love's death was not intended.
George Huguely, a men's lacrosse player at the school, was arrested Monday hours after Love's body was found in her apartment. He has been charged with murder.
"Until more information becomes available, it is our hope that no conclusions will be drawn or judgments made about George or his case," Lawrence said Tuesday, reading a statement to reporters outside a courthouse. "We are confident that Ms. Love's death was not intended, but an accident with a tragic outcome."
Lawrence did not elaborate and said he would have no further comment.
Huguely appeared by videoconference Tuesday at a court hearing, wearing a gray-striped jail uniform. He did not speak during the proceeding between his lawyers and the judge. There was no discussion of bond for him.
Huguely's parents and stepfather were in the courtroom. They left the courthouse through a back entrance without talking to reporters.
Police have released few details in the case. They have said Love and Huguely had been in a relationship and investigators planned to interview fellow players and friends about the nature of the relationship.

Love These!
The quality is superb and we just love this notepad paper in our house. I seriously wish I could use this paper everywhere.

Makes writing feel like a LUXURY
I simply love this smooth, thick high quality paper. I am taking language courses (for fun) at a local college and taking copious notes on this gorgeous paper feels so good. I use high quality ball point pens and the writing implement just glides effortlessly on the paper. It's so nice to use both sides of the paper and see no run-through whatsoever (appeals to my thrifty side). This paper makes me feel like I'm pampering myself and makes studying a pleasure!

Allow me to be contrarian . . .
I can't agree with the glowing reviews. These would be fine pads IF I did not use a fountain pen. The paper feels wonderful, very heavy and smooth to the touch, and the colors are great for being able to find my notes in a stack of white papers. But fountain pen inks bleed through even with a dry-writing extra fine nib. I've only tried the salmon pad so far, but I may be sending my pads back. My experience with Levenger paper has been hit and miss. The pads and Circa paper I've tried have not been fountain pen friendly at all. On the other hand, the wired notebook I have is fantastic! As far as I can figure, it's all supposed to be the same paper, so I guess it's either a quality control issue or different vendors for the different papers.

New Freeleaf note pad - canary paper
As a long-time user of Levenger Notationery note pads (canary color) which were perfect writing surfaces for my roller ball pen, I am unhappy with its replacement, the Freeleaf note pad. The Freeleaf still excels in smoothness and complete lack of bleed-through, but due to its much more pale yellow color, now lacks the strong contrast and high readability of the previous Notationery pads. In addition, the more darkly printed lines compete more with the hand written text for the eye's attention. The only defect in the previous Notationery pads was the inconsistency of the microperfs. They were usually excellent, resulting in easy and quiet tear off, but some lots were not cut through enough and would not tear neatly - leaving paper bits that, if not removed with a tweezers, would cause the next sheet to leave even more of its top edge behind. The new Freeleaf pads solve this problem by using slice perforation, but create new problems. They leave a rough edge at the top with visible paper nibs every 4 mm. Plus, they are much more noisy when tearing out a page, making them less suitable for taking notes at meetings and lectures. Under inspection with a magnifier, the Freeleaf paper is shinier, resulting in some light glare that is absent with the more matte finish Notationery paper. It is also more irregular in fiber appearance. Comparing lines drawn across abutting edges of the two papers, there are bits of background paper color showing through the ink on the Freeleaf paper, while the ink completely covers the Notationery paper. This also contributes to the reduced contrast of the new paper. In summary, I am hoping that Levenger will make the old type pads available again or else the search is on once more for the ideal note pad.

Works great for fountain pen users
I love this new freeleaf paper. I write in this pad with my Levenger pens all the time and am impressed that there is no bleed when using my fountain pen. You can even write on both sides of the page. I also use a highlighter with no bleed on this paper. The paper is true high quality...ink glides smoothly on every page.
August 20, 2010
Perfect fit to my needs
I love that this paper can capture the topic, date, and filing info on the top. Makes keeping it easy and I don't have to figure out if it's the right paper I am seeking. The fact that it comes in colors means I can further categorize by client or purpose. People always ask me about it in meetings and I have sent several people to your site. My new stocking gift for this upcoming holiday season!

Take Notes With Style
These quality note pads are functional and fashionable. Ink will not bleed through the thick paper.
October 22, 2008
Most Useful Paper
This paper is so smooth that the pen or pencil flows easily across the page. There is no leakage through to the back side so both sides are totally useful. The weight of the paper allows it to stand up well to time and to being moved from one portfolio to another. The different designs accommodate different tasks but mostly I just love the way the paper feels.

Historical Overview (Magill's Medical Guide, Sixth Edition)
Sexuality is usually manifested and experienced as orientation toward and attraction to people of the same gender, the opposite gender, or both. Sexual orientation is also referred to as "sexual preference." The term "preference," however, can imply that sexual attraction and orientation are chosen and voluntary, that one can will oneself to find another person sexually appealing. In fact, most research suggests the opposite: People find themselves attracted to an individual or a particular gender without having thought about that attraction or having consciously willed it. The attraction and orientation are not chosen. People can wish not to be attracted in the ways that they are, and they may choose not to act on these feelings, but the attraction felt and experienced is outside voluntary control.
A female athlete may wish not to have the sexual feelings she does for her teammates. A male chemistry major may want himself not to find a female classmate as distracting as she is. A female attorney who is happily married may want the sexual feelings she experiences for her male client to cease. A celibate priest may desire the sexual feelings that he has toward some male and female members of his congregation to go away. As much as these individuals may want to will such feelings away, success in this endeavor is unlikely. Each, instead, must choose how to cope with the feelings, from acting on them directly, to...

Theories of Sexual Orientation (Magill's Medical Guide, Sixth Edition)
No other area of sexuality has generated more interest, theory, or research than orientation and how it originates. No one theory stands alone as proven, and not-yet-explained data shake the foundations of even the most useful theories. Nevertheless, scientific inquiry has disproven many earlier theories. The most promising theories fall into several categories, some of which can overlap to a degree: genetic, hormonal, psychodynamic, parental, familial, behavioral, societal, and cultural.
The first significant study of genetic causality for sexual orientation was published in 1952. The research compared one group of male identical twins with one group of male fraternal twins. In both groups, one twin was known to be homosexually oriented. Reasonably assuming that both twins of a pair would be exposed to essentially the same environments, the study counted how many second twins, whose sexual orientations were unknown at the start of the study, were also gay. If the rate of homosexuality for twins was higher among the group of identical twins than in the group of fraternal twins, it would be evidence that genetic makeup, which is virtually the same between identical twins, the main cause of sexual orientation.
Twelve percent of fraternal twins who were homosexual had a homosexual twin. Because male fraternal twins are genetically as similar and dissimilar as any pair of brothers, and the rate of...

Perspective and Prospects (Magill's Medical Guide, Sixth Edition)
Although answers to the question of how orientation develops are complex, researchers Alan P. Bell, Martin S. Weinberg, and S. K. Hammersmith published the two-volume work Sexual Preference: Its Development in Men and Women (1981) in an attempt to reveal the causal chain of sexual orientation development in more than thirteen hundred adult homosexual, heterosexual, and bisexual men and women. They based their findings both on lengthy face-to-face interviews with every person in their study and on a sophisticated and reliable statistical technique called path analysis.
Bell, Weinberg, and Hammersmith's research represents the most extensive collection of data on a large number of people in existence, and most experts are taking at least some of their findings to be conclusive. These results show that sexual orientation is strongly established in most people by late adolescence and that sexual feelings rarely undergo directional changes in adulthood. Atypical gender role behavior in childhood, such as boys preferring to play with dolls and not having an interest in more competitive activities, was found to be more likely than not to proceed homosexual orientations in adolescence and adulthood. Adult homosexuals and bisexuals had, on average, the same amount of heterosexual experience as heterosexual adolescents, though their heterosexual experiences were less rewarding and enjoyable than either their own...

Sexuality (Encyclopedia of Cancer)
Sexuality can be defined as the quality or state of being sexual. Quite often it is an aspect of one's need for closeness, caring, and touch.
Cancer and sexuality
Faced with a disease such as cancer most people initially lose interest in sex. Sexual desire is overshadowed by concern for one's health. Certain cancers directly affect sexual organs making sexual activity impossible or painful. Chemotherapy, radiation and surgical treatments of cancer can affect sexual activity making it difficult or undesirable. The side effects of cancer treatments such as nausea and pain can lessen sexual desire. Cancer treatments that disturb the normal hormone balance can also lessen desire. Many cancer patients are also worried that their partner may feel negatively about them because of the changes in their body and the fact that they have cancer.
Sexuality can be expressed in many different ways. It is possible to continue a healthy and satisfying relationship and maintain a healthy sexual image even after any changes brought about by cancer. Sexual intimacy can be a source of comfort during treatment and recovery from cancer. This may require some adaptation and change of the patient's current sexual...

Sexuality (Encyclopedia of Psychology)
The full range of thoughts and actions that describe sexual motivation and behavior.
While sex is not necessary for an individual's survival, without it a species would cease to exist. The determinants of sexual motivation and behavior include an individual's physiology, learned behavior, the physical environment, and the social environment.
A person's sex is determined at conception by whether one out of the 23 chromosomes in the father's sperm is either X (female) or Y (male). All female eggs contain an X chromosome, so each fertilized egg, or embryo, has a genotype of either XX (female) or XY (male). Reproductive hormones produced by the gonads (male testes and female ovaries) determine the development of the reproductive organs and the fetal brain, especially the hypothalamus. All the human reproductive hormones are found in both sexes but in different amounts. The principal female hormones are estrogens and progesterone (of which the main ones are estradiol and progesterone); the primarily male hormones are androgens (mainly testosterone). In males, levels of testosterone remain fairly constant, regulated by a feedback loop to the brain and pituitary gland, which control hormone secretion. In females, hormone levels fluctuate within each menstrual cycle, rising at ovulation. Reproductive...

Sexuality (International Dictionary of Psychoanalysis)
Sexuality as understood by Sigmund Freud is "psycho-sexuality," and should be taken "in the same comprehensive sense as that in which the German language uses the word 'lieben' (to love)." (1910k, pp. 222-23)
In his clinical work during the closing years of the nineteenth century, Freud noticed how significant a role sexuality played in the mental conflicts of his patients, eventually concluding that it was invariably one of the poles of any symptom-generating conflict. In The Interpretation of Dreams (1900a), he evoked the importance of childhood sexuality solely in connection with neurotics, but beginning with the first edition of the Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905d) he asserted its presence and its essential role in all children. Thereafter Freud conceived of human sexuality in a broadened sense that included childhood and perverse sexuality. Childhood sexuality had three main characteristics: it was autoerotic, subject to the primacy of erotogenic zones and component instincts, and anaclitically dependent on the self-preservation instincts or ego-instincts.
It would take twenty or so years for Freud to arrive at the theory of the four stages of psychosexual development that we now find in the manuals. Each stage was characterized by the dominance of a different erotogenic zone: oral, anal, phallic, genital. The child was polymorphously perverse in that the primacy of the genital zone and of the relationship to the object was not yet established. The pervert remained fixated in, or regressed to, a subordination to one or other of the non-genital zones, ruled by component instincts. Despite this broadening of the concept of sexuality, Freud continued to define a so-called normal sexuality, reached at the end-point of development and characterized by the primacy of the genital zone and of the relationship to the object. But he had trouble completely detaching normal sexuality from the goal of procreation, something he had been able to do in the cases of infantile and perverse sexuality (see the twentieth of the Introductory Lectures [1916-17a]).
Another point, often insufficiently stressed, is the distinction Freud drew between two currents, the affectionate and the sensual, "whose union is necessary to ensure a completely normal attitude in love" (1912d, p. 180).
The whole of childhood sexuality falls under the rubric of the "Oedipus complex," a term first used by Freud in "A Special Type of Choice of Object Made by Men" (1910h, p. 171), even though he had referred to Sophocles' Oedipus Rex as early as 1897 in a letter to Fliess. The Oedipus complex was at first presented by Freud from the young boy's point of view, and in a simplified form: the little boy is in love with his mother and so becomes his father's rival. In the complete form, bisexuality came into play: the boy also wants to take his mother's place vis-à-vis his father (inverted Oedipus complex). The Oedipus complex of the girl was not in Freud's view symmetrical with that of the boy, for the girl did not experience the tragic conjunction of love for the mother and a rivalry with the father provoking murderous wishes.
A sexuality that could be called perverse inasmuch it activated erotogenic zones other than the genital nevertheless had a place in normal sexuality in the shape of "fore-pleasure." What characterized perverse sexuality proper was the rigidity and exclusiveness of the manner of achieving orgasm.
Until 1920 Freud described mental conflict as a clash between the sexual instincts and the self-preservative instincts, also known as ego-instincts. Beginning with Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920g), however, a new opposition came to the fore in Freud's thinking, though without eradicating the earlier: that between Eros (life instincts or sexual instincts) and Thanatos (death instincts). This was yet another broadening of the concept of sexuality: Erosoveought to hold things together, while Thanatoseathtrove to tear them apart and destroy them. As noted above, Freud gave sexuality the same extension as the verb "to love"; since one side of the conflict is always sexuality, it may reasonably be deduced that all mental disturbance has a connection with sexuality conceived as love, as a tie to an object.
Freud was accused by some of "pansexualism." It is true that sexuality was present everywhere in his theory, yet it was always seen as in conflict with other instinctual forces, so that Freud was surely right to defend himself against this charge.
On the other hand, the issue of the relationship between sexual disturbances and psychopathology is not simple. It is quite possible to encounter dysfunctional sexuality in the strict sense in a person who presents no particular mental symptoms in other areas, while a perfectly satisfactory orgasm may occur in otherwise deeply disturbed individuals. But the libidinal tie and the relationship to the object are always implicated in the organization of the personality and in mental pathology. In psychoanalytic treatment, the transference instates a relationship of libidinal dependence with the analyst that repeats the relationship with parental figures. The transferencehe motor of psychoanalysisay become an obstacle to treatment if it takes a totally eroticized form.
For Freud, then, human sexuality was psychosexual, and individual and cultural ideas played an important role therein; yet in his view it was also biological, and he was certainly not mistaken in this. The object of the instinct is not given with the instinct itself. The history of the individual, which is to say the history of that individual's relationships with his mother, father, and other key people in the entourage, contributes to the constitution of his particular sexuality. Freud wrote that the infant's relationship with the mother who gave it the breast supplied the prototype for the adult's later love relationships. Weaning brought about the loss of the breast as libidinal object, and thereafter the individual would seek to rediscover that lost object. But some infants are not breast-fed, in which case weaning will not have the same character, and may not be so late. The breast has become a metaphor for all bodily attentions from the mother (Donald W. Winnicott), or else as a part-object (Melanie Klein). In language, and for the infantven an infant which has not been breast-fedhe breast symbolizes the mother, and is an object of desire. Freud seems never to have heard little boys crying because they cannot have breasts like their mother, and he retained only the little girl's penis envy as a mark of the child's confrontation with the anatomical difference between the sexes. Freud's patriarchal and phallocentric assumptions echo his culture, and he was unaware of them. Only rarely do we now see the typical neuroses and disturbances of sexuality that Freud described in his "Contributions to the Psychology of Love" (1910h, 1912d); and when we do, patients usually come from families where they have received a traditional patriarchal upbringing.
Freud never suggested that unbridled sexual activity could remedy sexual and mental problems. Certainly, he at first emphasized the conflict between sexual wishes and the external world, and made "civilized sexual morality" responsible for "modern nervous illness." (1908d). But later on he located the essential conflicthat between the forces of binding and the forces of unbindingithin the psyche. A strong superego, constituted by means of identification with the father as prohibitor of incestnd also (as something of an afterthought on Freud's part) by the mothere judged necessary not only to morality but also to creativity, to sublimation, that is to say to the inhibition and diversion of strictly sexual instinctual aims. Libido seemed to Freud to be masculine in essence, and he considered the woman's superegond hence her moral sense and creativityo be weaker than the man's. Women were destined to passivity, or at least to activities with passive aims. Freud rejected feminist aspirations to equality between men and women.

A massive cleanup effort was underway early Sunday at an Istanbul park where hours earlier Turkish riot police cleared protesters camped out in what has become ground zero in anti-government demonstrations targeting the policies of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
At least 29 people were injured in clashes Saturday as police sealed off Taksim Square and took Gezi Park, Istanbul Gov. Huseyin Avni Mutlu said in remarks carried on Turkish television stations.
Police pushed protesters onto side streets, where on one street many -- with their faces covered with masks because of tear gas and smoke -- appeared to reorganize.
Chanting "long live Taksim solidarity," the demonstrators began moving back toward the square and park. In turn, authorities fired tear gas and a water cannon down the street to try to disperse them.
The move came after police warned demonstrators who have occupied Istanbul's last remaining green space for more than two weeks to depart voluntarily or face being ejected.
By early Sunday morning, most protesters had dispersed and the cleanup was underway, according to CNN's Arwa Damon, who was reporting in the area.
Calls for political reforms
The protest that began over Erdogan's plan to turn the park into a mall quickly devolved into large anti-government demonstrations that have seen calls for political reforms.
Erdogan, who has been defiant of protest demands, said earlier in the day at a rally with supporters in Ankara that if protesters did not leave on their own, they would be forced out of Gezi Park.
"If it is not emptied, from now on, this country's security forces will know how to empty that place," he said.
A few minutes later, police used loudspeakers to order the protesters out of the park, saying it was their last warning.
But the demonstration continued as the sun began to set, with hundreds of people packing the square, some of them wearing gas masks, others linking arms in solidarity and anticipation.
During his speech, Erdogan said the demonstrators were not meeting him halfway.
"We have reached out with our hands," he said. "However, some people returned their fists in response. Can you shake hands with those who reach out with a fist?"
And he ridiculed the protesters' assertions that they are environmentalists, calling them "thugs" instead, and citing their honking of horns as evidence of their insincerity. "This is called noise pollution," he said.
A dozen of his Justice and Development AK Party buildings have been damaged and burned, he said, accusing "outsiders" of staging the demonstrations.
He accused demonstrators of inciting sectarian violence by attacking a woman who was wearing a headscarf, kicking her, dragging her on the ground and snatching away her head cover. He accused some demonstrators of having entered a mosque while wearing shoes, drunk alcohol there and written insulting slogans on the walls -- acts forbidden by Muslims -- but said authorities had been patient.
Erdogan said the courts will handle such incidents.
He said he did not understand the concerns about the park, since no contracts have been signed and no construction has begun. "There is nothing yet to protest," he said.
'Every kind of hypocrisy'
Erdogan accused social media for spreading misinformation, the national media of lying and the international media of displaying "every kind of hypocrisy" in its reporting, but he expressed gratitude for the crowd's support.
He praised his government's performance over the past 10 years, citing a rising standard of living, a stock market that has broken records, a quintupling of the central bank's reserves, plans to build the world's biggest airport and the construction of a third bridge scheduled to begin carrying traffic in four lanes in either direction over the Bosporus in 2015.
Erdogan said maintaining the park as a green space was not the real goal of most of the demonstrators, four of whom have been arrested.
"What is the issue then?" he asked. "It is to take down the AK Party government."
Except for a few who are genuinely concerned about the environment, the demonstrators are upset about Turkey's growing strength, he said, adding that more than 600 of his police had been wounded in the clashes.

Many companies are trying to leverage the power of Twitter. New research identifies factors that increase the odds that a company's tweets will be shared with recipients' networks.
Many companies are trying to leverage the power of Twitter to connect with customers and promote their brands and products. This article identifies factors that increase the likelihood of "retweeting" so that a company's tweets will be shared with recipients' networks.
Retweeting is desirable both because the original tweet reaches more people and because a retweet is essentially an endorsement from recipients to their followers. That said, since tweeting by companies is basically a marketing function, there are several practices that don't work well. The most important to avoid is blatant hard-sell messages. Twitter may be better suited for building brands than for building markets for new offerings. In addition, neither using hashtags nor embedding links increased retweeting. Finally, announcing contests or other promotional techniques also did not increase retweeting.
The article lists nine practices that increase retweetability, including keeping messages short, so there is room for retweeters to add their own messages. Opening with an attention-grabbing headline is important, as is simply asking the recipient to pass the message on. Humanizing the brand has the highest likelihood of causing retweeting, increasing the odds by as much as 70%. Other tips include providing information that people can use and act on; offering a deal that can save people money; and making the message relevant and topical. And the best practice of all is when organizations combine several of these practices to get the most out of their marketing messages.
