Such a great place to stay! The condo was in the perfect location with a beautiful view of the bay and within walking distance to the private beach. The property was well-maintained, spacious, and very clean. It had everything needed for a relaxing vacation. I loved the convenience of the two pools and enjoyed the barbeque areas. The beach was one of the nicest I have seen and the restaurants in the area were all excellent. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative and can not wait to return next summer.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

I have been vacationing on Siesta Key for over 15 years, this is my second time staying at Midnight Cove..I found the grounds to be gorgeous and the two pools to never be crowded like I have experienced at other areas. Spending time at the beach mostly, the umbrella provided by Midnight Cove came in handy especially since I didn't have to put it together myself. The condo itself was very comfortable as well as perfectly furnished, provided for all of our needs..the beds were comfortable, as were the couches and lounge chairs for relaxing, the kitchen is large enough to have several people cooking at once which we did mostly. The new and updated shower gave beautiful views of the inter-coastal and everything worked perfectly, was brand new and very clean. Early mornings spent having breakfast on the porch were beautiful with the sun rising above. A lot of the time we took the short walk to Captain Curt's village for groceries and dining; however, my favorite restaurants are in the village on the other end of the island, Siesta Key Oyster Bar and Daiquiri Deck which I highly recommend a visit to! There are several clothing/ trinket shops in the village as well along with ice cream and other restaurants. We cooked out every afternoon using the grill stations which are very convenient, several by the beach and several by the bay. It was nice retiring back to the condo after a full day of sun to watch movies and play games. There were six of us staying in the condo and we were never crowded, it was large enough for everyone. Full sized fridge and freezer, stove, microwave, oven and several cabinet spaces allowed us to cook our own meals. I will be returning to this condo in the years to come!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Having spent a week at this property recently, I would not hesitate to return again to this paradise getaway. It has a most relaxing view from the back screened lanai where the boat traffic is a constantly changing portait of the Florida intercoastal waterway. The staff was very friendly, helpful and respectful. The property itself was as picturesque as any tropical resort I have seen. The gardens and walks were very well maintained. Downtown Siesta Key offers a variety of eateries and shops. The food was excellent everywhere we went. I would love to go back again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect venue to relax and get away.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+.

From start to finish we had an excellent experience. Our condo was VERY clean and nicely decorated with beautiful views of the Bay. The lush grounds are beautifully maintained and the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The beach is just steps away and picture perfect with lounge chairs and umbrellas set up by friendly staff. Enjoy the large private beach or one of the two well maintained pools. Each evening we had cocktails on the Lania as we watched the parade of boats on the Bay before returning to the beach for lovely sunsets. Great location and walking distance to restaurants and shops. We are already planning our return trip!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway, age 55+.

You voting? Navigating tomorrow's elections in Michigan
On Tuesday, polls across Michigan will open for statewide local elections.
Voters in 56 of Michigan's 83 counties will cast ballots.
Given the city's recent bankruptcy declaration, all eyes will likely be on Detroit's mayoral race results.
But as Michigan Radio's Steve Carmody reported, counties across the states will face the usual suspects in the poll booths: school and library millages, ward elections, and filling city council seats.
How can you find out if there's an election in your county? What's on the ballot? And are you positive you're registered to vote?
Luckily, Michigan's Secretary of State website makes finding all these answers relatively easy.
Follow this link to go to the web page designed to help voters navigate the polls.
Plop in your name, birth date, and the zip code of the city you're registered to vote in. Right away, the search will let you know if you're still registered, and prompt you to check out a sample ballot of what's happening -- if anything -- in your county.
And as always, stay tuned to Michigan Radio's coverage of key election results.

Tennessee still in the market for veteran slot receiver. Terry McCormick
Perhaps 10 free agents is still not enough for the Tennessee Titans.
The Titans hosted three more free agents on Tuesday, including veteran slot receivers Brandon Stokley and Kevin Walter. Tennessee also had offensive lineman Chris Spencer in for a visit.
In looking at Walter, 31, and Stokley, 36, the Titans are trying to add on to a receiving corps that lacked a true slot receiver a year ago. The Titans would like to start former first-round picks Kendall Wright and Kenny Britt on the outside.
If a move is made, the question becomes what will happen with Nate Washington, who was the subject of trade talk just a few weeks ago. Already, the Titans have swung and missed with receivers Danny Amendola, Wes Welker and Brandon Gibson in trying to find a third receiver.

The market dropped, but just as quickly rebounded, following a hoax tweet from the Associated Press, Jonathan Cheng reports.
U.S. stocks ended a tumultuous day with strong gains after a false tweet briefly sent financial markets veering on Tuesday, underscoring technology's role in tightly linking global markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average briefly plunged Tuesday afternoon before finishing with a gain of 152.29 points, or 1.05%, to 14719.46. Oil also briefly dipped, while U.S. Treasury bond prices soared, after a tweet from the Associated Press's Twitter account claimed that there were two explosions in the White House and that President Barack Obama had been injured.
Markets quickly swung back after the Associated Press said on its corporate website that its account had been hacked. The White House confirmed that there had been no incident.
At the height of the confusion, the blue-chip Dow plunged by about 145 points between 1:08 p.m. and 1:10 p.m. Eastern time, following the erroneous tweet. But stocks soon recovered.
Observers said the episode highlighted the growing use by players in financial markets of social media such as Twitter and Facebook, and underscored the dangers of security breaches at a time when many investors are quick to trade on news.
Keith Bliss, senior vice president with New York brokerage Cuttone & Co. on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange, said he heard a slow wave of noise across the exchange floor as traders responded to the first tweet.
"We all started looking at it to figure out what was going on, and just as quickly there was another wave of noise after the AP denied the story," Mr. Bliss said. "Just goes to show, you shouldn't have a knee-jerk reaction to anything that comes across Twitter."
The stock move was echoed by similar gyrations in other markets, where oil momentarily lost 0.7% before recovering, and the CBOE Market Volatility Index, the "fear gauge" known as the VIX, spiked 9% before falling back to its level just a few minutes earlier, down 5% on the day.
Trading volumes in S&P 500 e-mini contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, futures contracts tracking the S&P 500, shot up to 83,388 traded contracts at 1:09 p.m. ET, from about 295 traded contracts just two minutes earlier. In all, some 314,000 contracts changed hands in five minutes.
The dollar fell against the Japanese yen after the AP's tweet, dropping as low as ¥98.58 from ¥99.27 before the tweet. It snapped back from all losses within four minutes.
Among precious metals, gold futures saw a brief bump of more than $5 per troy ounce but gold quickly fell back to its previous level, around $1,409; silver futures moved less than $1 per troy ounce and also reverted to their prior level when it became clear the report was a hoax.
At about 1:10 p.m., yields on 10-year safe-haven Treasurys fell about 0.05 percentage points, to 1.648% from 1.703%, according to Tradeweb. But by 1:20 p.m., yields were back up to 1.694%.
"It's a huge drop in such a short period of time, and it could only have been due to some type of huge flight to quality resulting from geopolitical concerns," said Gary Pollack, managing director at Deutsche Bank DBK.XE -0.69% Deutsche Bank AG Germany: Xetra €34.60 -0.24 -0.69% March 7, 2014 11:53 am Volume : 988,042 P/E Ratio 29.32 Market Cap €35.12 Billion Dividend Yield 2.17% Rev. per Employee €325,100 03/07/14 Deutsche Bank Wins Auction for... 03/05/14 Deutsche Bank's Global Head of... 03/04/14 Deutsche Bank Hires Consultanc...

Peter Donovan, an oil-options broker at Vantage Trading working on the floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange, said some traders quickly exited positions after the erroneous report of a terrorist attack. "That sort of stuff gets our attention, as you can imagine…but it was immediately met with skepticism," he said.
As the false Twitter report first spread, a staffer at Los Angeles-based JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC said over a companywide loudspeaker: "Careful, those things can be hacked," said Tom Carter, a managing director at the brokerage.
"We made sure no one made a call on it, and sure enough, look what happened," Mr. Carter said. "You've really got to be careful in those moments. It would be irresponsible to start calling clients about it."

"It's the qualitative aspects of it, and not just the numbers themselves, that have been relatively decent."
In economic headlines, Markit Economics' composite purchasing managers index for the U.S. showed a reading of 52 for April. Readings above 50 signal expansion.
Meanwhile, the Federal Housing Finance Agency's February home-price index showed a monthly rise of 0.7% in February, while new-home sales for March rose 1.5% to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 417,000. Both readings on the housing market were roughly in line with expectations, and bolstered shares of home builders. PulteGroup, PHM -0.29% PulteGroup Inc.

European markets rallied. The Stoxx Europe 600 index climbed 2.4%, as signs of further weakening of the euro-zone economy sparked hopes of a shift away from austerity and toward policies that stimulate growth.
On Monday, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso said the austerity policy the European Union has been pursuing no longer has the public backing needed to work. The European Central Bank meets next week, amid growing hopes for stimulative action by the central bank.
Markit's purchasing managers index for the euro zone was unchanged at 46.5 in April. In the region's largest economy, Germany, the composite PMI fell to a six-month low of 48.8 from 50.6 in March. Meantime, France's PMI rose to 44.2 in April, from a four-year low in March. Germany's DAX 30 index gained 2.4% for its best day in five months, while France's CAC-40 jumped 3.6% for its biggest gain since last August.
"In Europe, it's all about the rate of change—we're going from horrible data to not-so-bad data, and the market will rally off that," said Andres Garcia-Amaya, global market strategist at the mutual-fund arm of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, which oversees $400 billion. More generally in Europe, Mr. Garcia-Amaya argued, "they can't just use austerity without a plan to help these countries grow. If we see a change from leaders on that perspective, that'll be very positive for Europe."

The game isn't fun at all (including the pathetically limited multiplayer options which aren't worth going into)...It's just frustrating that Dark Sector, with all the trappings of a good game could squander nearly every single one of them with bad level design, poor logic, repetitive combat, and no attention to what made its inspiration so…inspiring.
Between the dreary action, the sluggish movement speed, and the seemingly tacked-on multiplayer, you'll probably want to pass on the whole thing.
And the poor storytelling doesn't hurt the game as much as the tedium, and the feeling that the game is padded by five or six hours—which suggests that the real draw isn't dismemberment, but distraction.
Every aspect of this game is horribly average, derivative, unpolished, or worse. Half-assed, floaty, imprecise character movement. Half-assed melee combat. Half-assed cover mechanic. Half-assed weapon upgrade system. Half-assed sound design and mixing. Quarter-assed story. No-assed AI.

For Joss Whedon, 2012 has been one remarkable year. He was given the impossible task of putting egos in check for The Avengers and then he pulled Cabin in the Woods, which he co-produced and co-wrote, out of the vault and it was met with success. But he also directed an adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing in what seems like a matter of days and with a very limited budget. Whedon has just finished pushing his film at the Toronto International Film Festival and now he can find comfort in knowing that the public will be able to see his film.
THR has word that Lionsgate and Roadside has completed a deal that would allow them to distribute the film. Much Ado About Nothing is set in modern day Los Angeles with the cast consisting of actors and actresses familiar with Whedon's style of work. Playing the roles of Beatrice and Benedick are Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof, respectively. Then you got Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Sean Maher (also Firefly), Clark Gregg (The Avengers), and more Whedon alum members taking on the remaining supporting roles.
It's comforting to see that someone of Whedon's caliber is willing to go though a limited budget and shoot on time constraints. It's even more comforting to know that there is a collection of actors who believe in the project as well as its director. Lionsgate was also the studio who saw the success in Cabin in the Woods, so imagine Whedon's delight when he heard that they would be the ones to handle the film's distribution.
Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing was met with high praise, and although Lionsgate and Roadside may have acquired the rights to distribute the film, it has no release date as of yet. Let's hope that all changes before the end of the year.
[Source: THR]
Anything Joss Whedon does, I will watch. Have to admire his loyalty to the troupe of actors he carries from project to project.

"It's average."
3.0 starson by ithomas94Pros: The click wheel.
User interface is simple, great for first timers.
Great battery life.
The fact that many third-party accessories are out for the ipod.Cons: The click wheel.
The small screen, which contradicts Apple's statements about it being a 'true' video player.
The scratch-prone back.
The scratch-prone screen.
Laggy graphics-heavy interface.
Cover Flow.
So-so audio quality.Summary: I've had my iPod Classic for a year now (the first generation) and my bottom line is that its just average.
It's very disappointing to find that Apple has stopped doing anything on the iPod model that was considered before to be its flagship product.
Cover Flow and the UI are both laggy, and the click wheel, after a year of use, is sometimes laggy and nonresponsive.
My iPod's back is also very scratched up, and the screen has some scratches as well.
And just as a test, I attempted to scratch the iPod's chrome back. With my FINGERNAIL. and it did scratch. How sad.
All in all, it seems that the Classic is just going to die, as the Zune is (IMO) a much better option in the huge storage line of mp3 players.
Unless Apple does something incredible with the next generation of the iPod Classic line, the Classic will stop selling as much as it used to.
Also, the included earphones are shoddy and they don't have a full range; there's near to no bass, and the earphones break way too easily.
Conclusion: The iPod Classic is an average mp3 player, which is very sad, seeing as the Classic line is just a shadow of what it used to be. The audio quality and the lack of other features is a putdown as well, seeing as so much work obviously went into the interface, but near to no thinking time was spared for the features. I was very disappointed with the iTunes 8 update; I was hoping for an overhauled UI, at the very least, and I just got a feature that should have been there from the get-go.

Restoring Portsmouth home takes craft and vision
On Beam Day, family and friends of Dave Adams got together to hoist into place the two new 400-pound beams the crew had been preparing for weeks. Left, Jim Russo and Brendon Garrett are on the staging; Jeff Wheeler is standing inside the Portsmouth house on the first floor while Eric Heitmann adds more braces to the staging. (Mike Lockhardt Sr. Photo)
Dave and Debby Adams spent more than 25 years restoring their home at 210 Gates St. in Portsmouth before a fire ripped through the building in late 2012. Now, the home is undergoing a second restoration; the project has been filmed by local documentarian Mike Lockhardt Sr. (COURTESY OF MIKE LOCKHARDT SR.)
It wasn't much to look at, and friends recall that many thought it should have been torn down. But Adams saw beneath the layers of paint and bad remodeling jobs to the solid roots of the circa 1742-43 home built by Daniel Jones.
The sills were rotted, there was asbestos siding on one gable end and asphalt siding over most of the rest of the house. Two or three additions had been made to the front of the house, he said. The windows had been replaced in the early 1900s and were in deplorable condition.
Then, in late 2012, Adams watched from the street as firefighters fought to save his home from a devastating fire. Adams' first concern was his cat, Tiki Bear, who had suffered from smoke inhalation, but she was revived by firefighters at the scene with oxygen. She has since made a full recovery, despite her mature age.
Roy died in December, but his work is evident throughout the re-restoration, Adams said.
"I'm shooting footage of the house and everything and every so often I would pan over to Dave and he'd be looking at stuff and put his hand up to his mouth and turn away from the camera and it got real quiet. Dave's not like that, and in retrospect, it was really, really hard for him and I didn't understand. Then Steve pulled me aside and said, 'This is Dave's house,' and I was like, 'You've got to be kidding,'" Lockhardt said.
Lockhardt said it takes a certain kind of person to own a house like the one at 210 Gates St.
The re-restoration began in February 2013. Adams expects to have it largely wrapped up in about three months.
He said the show will also serve as an education to those wondering about the roots of their home, or how to respectfully restore an aging property. He said having representations on how people lived in the past informs the future.

...that the inventor of the electric motor was a blacksmith named Thomas Davenport? Described as "a brilliantly unsuccessful inventor", Davenport invented the first rotary electric motor. In 1836 he headed out -- on foot -- from his Vermont home to file a patent application at the Patent Office in Washington, D.C. By the time he got there, he had squandered away his money and couldn't afford the $30 filing fee so he turned around and went home. When he later mailed in his application with money he'd raised, the Patent office was destroyed in a fire. He did finally get credit for his invention on Feb. 5, 1837.

Delicious Whole Spelt Galette
This recipe provides the good carbohydrates, and plenty of healthy goodness paired with delicious taste. I use my basic recipe for the base.
What To Buy for 1 Galette ( serves 4-6)
150 ml water
200g Whole Spelt flour
5g Fresh yeast
1/2 tsp acacia honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
I topped the dough with the sauteed slices of 1 onion, 1 fennel bulb and a mix of 80 g low fat quark cheese with 5 g grated smoked tofu. All that goes in the preheated oven at 220 degrees for around 15 minutes until the dough is crispy and the surface golden.
Serve with winter lettuce on the side.
Delicious Cardamom Saffron Cookies
Baking the healthy way! It is the season for cookies and here is one new favorite of mine, definitely with Arabian flavors, and wholesome of course. They are quickly made and so delicious. If you wish to try your hand on baking, here is the recipe:
Cardamom Saffron Cookies
What to Buy for 40 small cookies
1 g Cardamom seeds, roughly ground with mortar and pestle
0.1 g Saffron
150 g Butter (room temperature)
80 g Acacia honey
Organic orange zest (from 1 orange)
50 ml Orange juice
225 g Finely ground whole spelt flour
1 pinch Salt
100 g Finely ground almonds
1 Egg
120 g Dark chocolate
How to Make It
Warm up the orange juice and dissolve the saffron in it. Whisk the butter with honey, cardamom, orange zest, and a little bit salt to a creamy texture. Add the egg and continue stirring. When mixed well add flour, almonds and saffron-orange-mix and fold under. Form small cookies of the soft dough mixture with the help of a piping bag on a baking tray lined with pergament paper and chill for a minimum of one hour or over night before baking.
Bake the cookies at 180 degrees Celsius for 5 – 7 minutes. Once the cookies are chilled, dip the tips in melted dark chocolate.
Chef Gabi's Tip
They taste best freshly baked. However I recommend to keep the remaining cookies in an airtight container and refrigerated for further use.
Enjoy and have a lovely winter day!

The Impact of Trade Liberalisation on Enterprises in Small Backward Economies: The Case of Chad and Gabon
This paper examines the impact of trade and fiscal reforms and of the 1994 devaluation of the CFA franc on enterprise development in Chad and Gabon. These reforms provide a natural experiment to assess the impact of trade liberalisation in countries with a small and backward manufacturing sector. The empirical analysis is based on a new panel data base covering virtually the whole population of manufacturing firms in Chad and Gabon, and containing data spanning from the year before to two years after the reforms. The paper finds that although firms' response to changing incentives was non-negligible, with a shift of output from non tradable to tradable and an increase in productivity, the reform process was unable to generate a virtuous and self-sustained circle, where export expansion brings a generalized productivity increase which in turn feeds on further export growth.Download Info
