Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type IV: Diagnosis and Therapy of Associated Bowel Perforation |
Alfred E. Stillman M.D. Robert Painter M.D. and
David W. Hollister M.D. Day Kimball Hospital, Putnam, Connecticut Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV is a heritable disease of type II collagen metabolism. This diagnosis is suspected in a patient with a combination of clinical manifestations and family history, but it is confirmed only by culture of the patient's skin fibroblasts and demonstration of a defect in type III collagen metabolism. The disease may rarely present with spontaneous colonic perforation, a complication traditionally treated by primary closure of the perforated segment and creation of an end colostomy. Attempts at bowel reanastomosis have often resulted in repeated colon perforations. We present the first patient with Ehlers-Danlos type IV syndrome to develop a colon perforation proximal to an end colostomy, and discuss the surgical strategy to prevent recurrences of this and other post-operative complications associated with the syndrome. Introduction We present a unique patient with documented ED IV and multiple episodes of colon perforation, the last of which occurred proximal to a protective end colostomy. This is the first reported instance of perforation proximal to such a colostomy in ED IV patients. This patient's experience forms the basis for a discussion of the recognition and diagnosis of ED IV and new recommendations for the surgical management of spontaneous colon perforation in these patients. Case Report Because of the patient's additional history of clubfoot at birth (previously corrected) and two spontaneous pneumothoraces at ages 17 and 30 years, the possibility of EDS was considered. The diagnosis was confirmed when the patient's cultured skin fibroblasts were shown to have intracellular accumulation and modestly decreased secretion of type III collagen. Type I collagen metabolism was normal. He was seen again 1 year later with sudden onset of severe abdominal pain, rigidity, and rebound tenderness; his colostomy would not admit the tip of the examiner's fifth finger. At surgery, a perforation 13 cm from the end colostomy was found, and a left colectomy and colostomy revision were performed. However, the patient was re-explored several hours later when he became hypotensive. Massive intra-abdominal bleeding due to multiple small arterial bleeding points was found and repaired. Three months later, severe abdominal pain and vomiting led to re-exploration, with discovery and lysis of massive adhesions producing small bowel obstruction. None of the patient's bower perforations had been traumatically produced. He denied a history of gay or bisexual behavior and had not inserted foreign objects into his rectum or colostomy. There was no family history suggestive of EDS. Interim physical examination had revealed uniformly thin skin with unusually prominent veins but normal skin extensibility. The small joints of his hands showed minimal hyperextensibility but other joints were normal. Discussion The diagnosis of ED IV is often difficult and may be made especially so by the appearance of acute abdominal pain due to major complications of spontaneous rupture of major arteries, spontaneous bowel perforation, and rarely, rupture of the uterus near term in pregnancy. Arterial rupture is rare before the third decade, whereas uterine rupture generally doesn't occur before the fourth decade. Bowel perforations usually occur between the late teens and early forties, but rare cases have occurred in childhood. The colon has been involved almost exclusively; most cases have occurred in the sigmoid. Ominously, perforations often recur after either simple closure or after reanastomosis of a colostomy performed to defunctionalize the perforated bowel segment. This tendency has resulted in recommendations to maintain a permanent colostomy or eventually to perform a subtotal colectomy with construction of an ileoproctostomy or cecoproctostomy (to preserve the ileocecal valve) because spontaneous rectal perforations in ED IV have been rare. Stool softeners have also been considered an important therapeutic adjunct. Our patient is the first reported instance of spontaneous colon perforation in ED IV that has occurred with a colostomy in place. This perforation apparently occurred due to pressure proximal to a stenotic colostomy stoma and was probably unrelated to ED IV per se. However, an end colostomy can no longer be considered a guarantee against colon perforation in ED IV patients and must always be watched for developing stomal stenosis. Perhaps the most simple and safe life-saving surgical procedure would be a one-stage subtotal colectomy with construction of a Hartmann pouch or mucus fistula and permanent ileostomy. Should diversion colitis appear in the excluded rectosigmoid segment, a mucus fistula would offer a convenient stoma for therapy with short chain fatty acids or other agents. More extensive surgery, such as initial primary closure of the perforated segment and end colostomy construction followed by subtotal colectomy and ileoproctostomy, might increase in these patients the already formidable incidence of excessive bleeding disruption of sutures, and wound dehiscence without increasing their benefit. The risk of dehiscence can be decreased by use of stay sutures placed at a distance from the incision and by decreasing intra-abdominal pressure (i.e., prophylaxis against ileus, cough, bladder outlet obstruction). ED IV is genetically heterogeneous. Most subjects have an autosomal dominant inheritance; recessive inheritance is rare. However, in common with several other lethal genetically transmitted conditions manifest at a young age, spontaneous mutations may occur too. Ultimate proof depends on culture of the patient's skin fibroblasts and demonstration of defects in the steps of type III collagen synthesis and secretion. |

By then, Routh had taken off in Kyle's black Ford pickup, stopping first at his sister's house about 70 miles away in Midlothian. There, he told his sister and brother-in-law what he had done, telling them he had "traded his soul for a truck," the arrest warrant said.
He set off again.
Police finally caught up with Routh near his home in Lancaster, about 15 miles south of Dallas, around 8 p.m. Saturday. Despite a swarm of law enforcement, he managed to speed off in the truck -- but after spiking his tires, authorities were able to detain him without a scuffle by 9 p.m., Bryant said.
The story got intense, widespread attention in large part due to the victims, especially Kyle.
While serving as a sniper in Iraq, the Navy SEAL wrote he personally had 160 confirmed kills from a distance of up to 2,100 feet -- more than any other U.S. serviceman, in any conflict. This helped led Iraqi insurgents to nickname the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Texan "the devil" and put a bounty on his head, he said.
In interviews promoting his book, Kyle offered no regrets,
"I had to do it to protect the Marines," he told Time magazine a year ago. "You want to lose your own guys, or would you rather take one of them out?"
After his retirement from a decade's service in the Navy, Kyle became a businessman, a reality TV personalty, a supporter of fellow vets, an avid hunter and an outspoken opponent of gun control. He leaves behind a wife and two children.
His new ventures included joining other former SEALs in starting Craft International, a security company with the motto "Despite what your momma told you, violence does solve problems."
He also helped established the FITCO Cares foundation, a charity that helps U.S. war vets "who have survived combat but are still fighting to survive post-traumatic stress disorder," the group's website said.
Thousands pledged to toast him and Littlefield on Monday night, and hundreds expressed condolences on Kyle's Facebook fan page.
"Chris, thank you for your service; not only to the country you loved, but also to your fellow warriors that needed a helping hand," one woman wrote. "Rest in peace brave hero, patriot and warrior. You are missed."
The Facebook page also included a tribute to Littlefield, who the page's administrator wrote "felt deeply about the values of family, compassion, friendship and loyalty, and was equally as passionate about his love of God and country."
"Chad, thank you for your love for your country, the dedication to your country and your love for life," a woman said. "God has brought another angel home."

text: Gary M. Lanigan, who has more than three decades of experience in the criminal justice and financial management realms, was confirmed as Governor Chris Christie's choice as Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) on March 22, 2010. He succeeded George Hayman, whose retirement ended a distinguished career with the NJDOC that dated back to 1983. "My first order of business is to offer my sincere appreciation to Governor Christie and Lieutenant Governor (Kim) Guadagno for providing me with an opportunity to preside over a department I have admired from afar for so many years," Commissioner Lanigan said shortly after his appointment. "One of my primary goals is to justify the confidence they've shown in me through their appointment. "As we look toward the future, the task before us admittedly is formidable," the Commissioner continued. "Our challenge becomes especially daunting as we strive to maintain and indeed surpass our level of achievement with ever-dwindling resources. Since taking office, Governor Christie has emphasized change. Although difficult at times, I believe change is essential to growth. I have come to think about change for our department in this manner: Challenge Historical Assumptions Nobly Generating Efficiencies (CHANGE). I encourage each of you to embrace this idea as we strive toward fulfilling the charge before us." Utilizing, CHANGE, the department is implementing a performance-based management system to measure and manage the performance of the various institutions in the areas of security, administration, programs, and medical and mental health services. This management tool will ensure that all facilities and units are working cohesively and efficiently to carry out the department's goals and objectives. Furthermore, CHANGE enables Senior and Executive Staff, as well as administrators and line staff, to closely monitor the performance of an individual facility and the department as a whole. |

Abstract: In spite of the rapid economic growth, which made Botswana the envy of sub-Saharan Africa during the 1980s and 1990s, total factor productivity either stagnated or declined over the same period (Botswana National Productivity Centre, 1997). The performance of the public service in the implementation of policies had become a matter of concern, and the reform of the public service and the transformation of its mind-set were major challenges to the nation. Productivity improvement was seen as an important strategy for improving the standard of living and achieving sustainable economic diversification and growth in the long term (Botswana Government, 1991, 1997).

And -- I was -- -- chastised by Bernardin.
All because -- -- -- I was enthusiastically.
Of the north Koreans.
Finally successfully launching rock and -- Just even know although there but I'm part of not a mental model of an all of their people are starving -- don't.
And a -- potentially.
Some some threat to hold your neighbor's.
So license.
And walked that back as there's an all but tell me Richard Clinton -- and -- -- what they've done is really stunning because under very difficult circumstances and within time time constraints.
They analyzed their failure of their April 15 launch and end of April launch.
And -- essentially what they did was -- -- accomplish something that is very difficult they had a clean separation between their second and third stage.
They put an object and orbit they've demonstrated basically that they can -- -- nuclear warhead in another country.
Within may be eighteen months perhaps a year so it is very interest saying that they have been able to -- stunned the international community.
Always such as China supportive of those are not.
If they are mostly supportive cousin that April 15 military trade -- -- we saw at six launchers moved -- mobile missiles.
And those came from China and that makes North Korea really dangerous because you can hide those missiles and so you really have a big deterrent.
And and the thing about China is that yes they sometimes try to rein in the north Koreans.
But for the most part they're keeping the north Koreans in business with a lot of food a lot of oil and sometimes technical support.
-- the conditions are better prepared for our.
But -- disarmed China doesn't -- but -- I don't know -- not enough I mean there's six million out of 21 million north Koreans are basically.
You know the average North Korean is about two and a half inches shorter than a South Korean counterpart.
So things are pretty bad there.
But -- Kim regime purposefully does that because it means that the population can't resist so it's a very successful formula for keep yourself from power did you say -- Don't forget what her -- was -- in China or North Korea or somewhere.
The picked up -- story from the satirical newspaper the -- -- name don't know what's his -- Kim -- on the sexiest man alive and People's Daily which is the mouthpiece of the Communist Party -- the most awe authoritative source in China.
Thought it was serious now this is not the first time that they've made a mistake of picking something up from the -- -- -- members as brother music.
-- it is -- but I don't alternate.
What chairman and what's his name.
Channing Tatum and and -- Russia.
Couples -- an interim order of easy to this announcement at 1211 and a sixth avenue as as the first time -- -- -- amid all the right.
Yeah that's because -- -- I was supposed to be here.
-- but my wife lost her diamond just as we -- getting into the car so you'll also want her -- around her neck.
Which I gave to her which is really more important to her than her wedding ring because I gave it to her when I left Hong Kong in laughter there.
And it was a means of saying to her I was gonna come back and marry her -- will be couldn't find it and we went into a panic and finally.
The last place I looked I put my hand into the toilet.
And -- it was at the bottom of it.
And we were just so relieved because that is more important heard anything in the world all felonies on me while secures -- -- -- sell it and that's why we were here and and the and I felt really bad about it 'cause we -- -- by phone but on the other hand.
I save the diamond.
-- have pretty -- I'm actually more happy to have triple on the phone unclear -- Because.
The attention span -- Hummingbird.
And then if you command if people coming on we have to -- coffee.
And then -- have to actually pay attention.
Under control of fire may have to look at -- I'm talking because of fire weren't sure on the phone -- -- check my email and -- off for whatever some but I don't.
Because you're dissident China and North Korea and -- on issues.
You must have some interest in the next secretary of State's economy.
What was your room where he says this -- rice's.
Letter of the browser.
She -- Susan Rice was blamed really for the policies of the White House the mean she got basically an attitude which was transmitted down from the president himself.
As other Republicans picked on her and I think that Obama was right when he said look if you have a problem come at me.
Leaves Susan Rice a long term -- I don't think Susan rice's the brightest star in the Obama administration and I think they're better candidates for secretary of state but it really wasn't her fault.
-- -- to -- probably become national security advisor.
The god help us but yet that's possibility a -- important possession alone now more important and secretary of state relying.
-- because you're with the president all the time.
You're making decisions you're coordinating really the responses of the entire government and you're just you know much closer to power -- the secretary of state.
And that's a position -- -- after the confirm this morning I think that the senate to confirm what does I think so no not the and it's not at all doesn't.
-- while our thanks to learn to.
War and -- there are about a generational of their ability to buy and analysts are like.
Well you know it's Chuck Hagel I think would probably be better but they're considering him for secretary of defense.
-- -- -- I think John Kerry knows a lot but I think he comes to a lot of wrong decisions like for instance he had thought about.
You know in the Iraq War he needs basically made every mistake going back to the first gulf war so yeah he's very intelligent -- knows all the issues but.
I'd rather see someone to better judgment course on his good credit line all put up -- fall no because I'd fire I don't agree with -- and I don't want to -- no way of what -- -- of his policies or shadow most of but there's a good man you know but were we do have to factor -- that he did that John Edwards but could -- the end of the one of them.
Biggest drawbacks ever -- I mean the scum illegals gonna save got to have better judgment.
But actors -- remember.
All of the first time I met John Edwards.
And I believe it was 11.
That's when he was running for nominal -- I was a while ago and recent colleges you guys were because it FAA and you have a student -- had to be.
But don't make any difference of them but you've been running for president or -- of a different approach.
And I've also -- came in -- studio.
And I Charles -- program.
And I want him when he left us on the Charles chuck concede you're still under watch him because -- seem like reform is most transparent -- and there's a lot of morale especially in Washington -- but I was among the worst he just seemed.
Anyway it's -- to -- our Internet excellent where -- soldier current relationship with China.
It's always spends.
Well you know it's getting worse because -- -- -- -- well because you know for four decades we tried to engage the Chinese and bring them into the international system and and we really look to them to rein in North Korea.
But what -- did was we used the one currency that really matters time.
You know we let the Chinese sort of determine the pace of negotiations we let them determine a lot of stuff.
And during that time the north Koreans not only detonated -- to their devices but they tested long range missiles.
And so do this is -- Bush Administration policy which of course has been continued by the Obama administration but it hasn't worked.
And we've got to stop North Korea because pretty soon they're gonna be able to take out an American city.
That missile that they launched a couple days ago probably has the range to hit Seattle in May be even -- Angeles.
It doesn't take them very much more to be able to fit the warhead on top and so really we don't have very much time and that means we gotta take matters into our own hands.
Want to -- leveraged -- -- -- with China.
Well last year China's merchandise trade surplus against the US.
Was -- 190.
Point 5% of its overall trade surplus that means they're running -- deficits with the rest of the world.
So they could run a big surplus against us that gives us leverage.
But only if we use it.
Why won't -- Well because a lot of people think that China owns us and that they have much more power over us -- we over them that's completely wrong.
I'm gives you look at their economy it's completely geared to selling things to the United States -- -- a -- -- saying.
She's an oversight assessment -- percent trump trump Pia now yeah and and he's right about that we have a lot of money out to -- -- -- lot of things that trump is wrong about but in terms of relationship with China now he gets -- much better than you know the president.
George W.
Bush and most of people who want in Washington.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- On Christmas but thanks very much -- -- anti Connell as well thank you Gordon I'm sure gonna give me a hard time to the coming year right well no we're not gonna do -- -- -- we're just -- there was a -- you.
And I'm glad to go to diamond I can now.

Guns in the Home Part of Comprehensive Preventive Health Care
Guns in the Home Part of Comprehensive Preventive Health Care
They argue the importance of including firearm safety as part of physician-patient preventive care conversations. "The role of the physician is to treat, and help prevent, injuries and disease that can occur from behaviors or environment," said Doctor Eric Fleegler of the Division of Emergency Medicine at Children's Hospital Boston.
"We ask about gun ownership for the same reasons we ask about infant sleeping positions, car seats, pools, drugs, alcohol and tobacco. It is our responsibility to understand possible health risks and provide appropriate information to help patients make decisions to keep themselves and their families safe."
Research reviewed and data analysed and presented by the authors found in part that:
• 35 per cent of homes with kids report owning a firearm, representing more than 22 million children.
• 43 per cent of these homes had at least one unlocked firearm.
• 13 per cent kept firearms in a manner accessible and dangerous to children.
• A goal of Healthy People 2010, a U.S. government initiative, targeted reducing firearm fatality rates to 4.9 per 100,000. In 2007, the average was 10.4 per 100,000, more than double the goal, and the researchers found that only four out of the 50 states fell below this rate.
Research shows the practice of physicians asking about guns in the home, and process of relaying advice via conversations, is meaningful to parents. 90 per cent of parents surveyed in one study said they would tell their child's doctor if they kept a gun in the home while 75 per cent of gun owners said they would take a paediatrician's advice to keep guns locked and unloaded.
"Preventive care is meant to be collaborative and supportive," said Fleegler. "Discussions should be non-judgmental and cover the broad gamut - but the key is in order to adequately address health risks, we have to be able to talk."

Trolls, flamers, inappropriate/offensive language, etc.
Where are the ban hammers? I'm really just sick of the back & forth flaming and trolling between the same typical users in every thread. Also sick of the amount of people shouting OP 'WHAT THE F*** WERE YOU THINKING' comments.
I used to moderate communities for certain games, and I was quite heavy handed. Maybe I'm not used to the light/lack of moderation in this community.
Oh, because I see so much of it it makes me QQ.
I'll be sure to report that shizzle.
TOO BAD ITS ME, BLACKSMITH!!! Original and best yet. See what the hype is about!
Remember the lost 11th commandment for these forums.
iceiceice = the pro dota player from asia?
Anyway... yeah, I agree that the forum does lack moderators. Was thinking if I could actually apply and stuff. Since I've had a lot of experience from multiple online games and I have a lot of experience from DotA. :P + I really think the forum needs to get sorted. Too much threads about the same thing and stuff. + Moderators need to work more closely / at least be able to communicate freely with the dev / support group so that announcements are made when the server goes down / bugs arise.

Books - Book Review - A Life of One's Own - Ilana Simons
My first book review of 2008! I have been reading books but have not not writing about them. My bad.
In October 2007, I received an email from Ilana Simons, asking me to review her book, A Life of One's Own - A Guide to Better Living Through the Work
and Wisdom of Virginia Woolf.
When I received it, I put down my other books and read it in one sitting. I picked it up again a few weeks later to receive more insights.
Ilana Simons gives a unique perspective on Virginia Woolf's life and writings. As both a literature professor and an clinical psychology student, she presents both as aspects in this book.
Not only did I learn more of Woolf's writing and her inspiration, this book also serves as a guide to living a thoughtful life by using Woolf's words as "advice."
A good example of both viewpoints is seen in Chapter 3 - Shut Down. In the US, multitasking is seen as a good thing. Woolf doesn't believe so. In A Room of Her Own, she writes, "It is in our idleness," she goes on "in our dreams, that the submerged truth comes to the top." Simons explains this quotation in Victorian ethics background of Woolf, "It's your right - even often charismatic - to hold a private world of your own. On the other, she was a Modernist, and wanted to set the stage for open, spontaneous talk. She valued both her parents' silence and a bolder exposure."
Chapter 13 (Read and Be More) really spoke to me. Since I have been 8 years old, people have always asked me "Why do read so much?" Ilana Simons writes, "It's a comfort and an accessible escape. Reading does seem to have shifted outside the center of today's public culture, where movies and the Internet dominate the landscape. But books have so far been able to survive the cultural shift because they do offer a game that's specific to what they are. In Woolf's opinion, novels made unique requirements of the mind, challenging us to find empathy with the author, patience with grasping tone and plot, creativity in supplying images to words, and dexterity in following the author's rather than your own, assumptions."
While trying to research a book on a study of English during the nightly bombings of London in WWII, she writes to Ethel. asking her to send her a lighthouse, i.e., encouragement to continue reading and writing. "Her reference to the 'lighthouse beam' shows how she tries to step out of her books to actual friendship in the world. She is using on of her literary metaphors (one of her main works is To The Lighthouse), for common talk.... She contrasts the anxiety of real friendship with the safety of books. The image of the lighthouse beam is her symbol for how fractured contact is..."
Ilana Simon's books has encourage me to read other works by Woolf. I have read only two of her works and felt intimidated. I know understand her background and literary views more and will try again.
I also plan to recommend this work for my local book club. It will increase everyone's understanding of Woolf. I also enjoyed reading the advice of living from her viewpoint.

I still have books to review from last year too - don't feel bad :)
This sounds like such a good book. I had heard about it but now I'm putting it on my TBR list. Have you read any May Sarton? I need to review her book - Journal of a Solitude - it was great. I think you'd enjoy it too. - 2:41 PM

I absolutely love the cover of this book, and I swear, I bought it based solely on the cover!
Great review to start out the new year! What about pairing the book with one of Woolf's as a double discusssion whammy? I bet readers would love it. :)
Oh, I wanted to tell you that ALA midwinter usually has some free books but the summer annual meeting has tons. I never have enough space to transport them home and have been known to mail them! ;D - 9:55 PM
Books are indeed important.

Everyone - I really had to work hard to keep the review short. I had more great things to say about this book.
Iliana - never heard of May Sarton. I await your review. This is what I like about the internet, getting new ideas.
Maggie - I do like your suggestion. This book is not too long and Woolf's novels aren't too long either.
Anonymous - I hope that future generations feel the same way! - 9:18 AM
Hi--This is Ilana, who wrote the book on Woolf. Thanks a lot for posting about it here.
A note to Maggie: I love the cover, too. (I didn't have anything to do with it--but Penguin treated the project with a lot of love, and I feel so lucky for that.)
I also just got home from the ALA conference. Like you, I came home with so many freebies--they're generous there, aren't they? It was fun: I haven't been in a room with 15,000 book lovers...ever.
I'd like to be involved in a book club discussions if you want.
Woolf is worth pushing.

"Nearly Perfect"Umsögn frá gesti Hotels.com á 9. jan. 2013
This hotel would be perfect if it wasn't in that cold, uninviting neighborhood. But that's what you get for being near the airport. Great staff, and nice courtesy bus drivers. The bed was crispy clean and perfectly comfortable. Great continental breakfast!

Downtown Seattle stretches along Puget Sound from historic Pioneer Square in the south to trendy Belltown in the north. In between, office towers, shopping gallerias, and brick condos line the leafy avenues. The convention center is here, as is Pike Place Market, where salmon fly. Don't miss the futuristic main library. Seattle's twin stadiums and the International District lie south of downtown.

"quick business trip"
Overall, The Edgewater had all the conveniences you need in a downtown stay in Seattle, complete with beautiful views from the waterfront side of the hotel. The required valet parking is incredibly overpriced and the basic rooms are fairly small.

"Pier Review"
It was a gusty day when I arrived to the Edgewater. The Sound was choppy and frightful. My mind was swimming in a sea of dreams when I entered the lobby. The ceiling was adorned with a beautiful antler chandelier and the hearth was peppered with colorful salmon. Could this be real? Yes, it was! And I cherished my time on pier 67. The staff was very […] courteous and helpful. I recall asking the desk clerk a question, and he replied. I was astonished at the efficiency of the hotel. I was honestly 3 hours late to my business meeting, as I was entranced by the waters of the divine shower head in room 235. It reminded me of a simpler time in my youth when I ran through the rain in a diaper. The meeting went horribly, as one would imagine, given that I was 3 hours delinquent. My company lost a several million dollar bid on an aerospace contract, but my worries have been washed away by the waves in the marvelous sound. Thank you for such a lovely accommodation!

"Nice Water View"
I stayed 3 nights at this hotel. Overall it is a good and clean hotel but may be a little over priced. If you want a nice water view this would be the place to stay, assuming you get a room that faces the water. It is walking distance to Pike Place Market but so are the less expensive hotels downtown. There is no bus service near the hotel so if you […] are relying on public transportation it will require some walking or a taxi. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

Highly rated hotel... but all it was is a glorified Motel 6. Nicest part was the lobby. Rooms very small! The shower was a joke. No water pressure.

"Seattle 2013"
The Edgewater was a very nice Hotel to stay during a visit to Seattle. It is very well located with a reasonable walk to Pike Place Market as well as Light Rail to the Airport. One Note: A coffee machine is in the room (no complimentary lobby coffee offered) which is fine, however, the choice is chocolate flavored only. Since chocolate flavored coffee […] is not our thing, we had to purchase in the restaurant/gift shop each morning at the tune of $2.50 each. A regular coffee packet would have been nice.

The Edgewater in a nice place and very expensive. The rooms are tastefully done and upscale. However, bang for your buck may not be such a good value. For $200 plus a night and $38.00 to valet my truck outside 50 feet away seems excessive. I would like a room that I don't have to go outside in the hallway to change my mind. Very smallÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Sleepless in Seattle"
Location was great, service and hospitality were top notch. A few of the negatives were the train on the north facing rooms that goes by every hour. The mandatory $38 valet parking fee per night. The room was really run down for a premium hotel. Definitely could use some new paint,trim tv cabinet etc...Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Small, but clean"
The room was very small for the price paid-yes even the discounted price! And, woops, they forgot to mention that it's about 200 yards from an active train track.

Great place, will stay here again. Location was perfect. We enjoyed everything about the edge waterÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
Water front came at a price. 3 resident sea gulls squawked late into the evening from the water which wasn't bad. They roosted that night under our balcony. At 4 am they started squawking again which was neither an enjoyable sound of the see or tolerable. I was able to shoo them away. The staff was very pleasant and professional. Facilities were very […] nice and well maintained. We enjoyed the lunge and restaurant but the service was slow and extremely noisy. Not a place for a peaceful dinner. I was able to upgrade my room to sea side by calling the hotel directly after hotel.com showed non available.

"Great location, decent hotel"
The location was superb, and I think that's mostly what you pay for in the cost of the room. The hotel itself was pretty nice, but I expected more for what we were paying. Our room was small and looked right out into the valet area (not private at all) and although the bathroom appeared to have gone through a recent remodel, the shower head only accommodated […] someone 5ft and under.

"Once an elegant place now a place with problems"
Edgewater has long bespoken a meaning of elegance in a wonderful natural setting . . nature remains however the elegance has become tarnished with the passage of time and the attitude changes of SOME of the staff. HOWEVER other of the staff hotel and dining was exceptional. We were there on a holiday weekend and are aware that this puts extra pressure […] on a facility the primary issue we had was with the extreme wait times for service in the bar/dining facilities and the lack of empathy from the dining staff.

Fireplace in room didn't work. Fan in bathroom and sun lamp in bathroom didn't work. If you have two separate laptops being used in the room, you have to pay two separate access charges. Always amazing that the supposed "quality" hotels nickel and dime customers with extra charges, while the cheap ones give you free internet access. I don't know what […] business school graduates and lawyers think these things up, but they inevitably create a negative feeling about a place.

A most unusual hotel. Built mostly on wooden pylons allowing the hotel to be sitting directly on the water. Public areas had great water views. Room was tiny.

The Bush administration declined a request today from the Salvation Army, the nation's largest charity, to exempt religious charities that receive federal money from local laws that bar discrimination against homosexuals.
The decision came on the same day that the charity's request was made public in an article in The Washington Post, which obtained an internal Salvation Army document that asserted that the administration had already made a commitment to the charity's request.
The disclosure of the request outraged some civil rights groups and lawmakers and raised fresh questions about one of President Bush's top legislative priorities. It also threatened to amplify perceptions among many voters that Mr. Bush was catering too much to his conservative base.
Although administration officials said around midday that they were considering the Salvation Army's request, the White House announced early tonight that it had decided to deny it. The announcement followed a flurry of meetings and telephone calls this afternoon among Mr. Bush's senior aides, who said they had not been aware of the charity's request until the news of it broke.
