-Improved player movement. No sliding; players have weight to them.
-Toned down CPU points in the paint big time. CPU shoots mid-range shots finally.
-Improved almost every aspect of Association. Better AI trade and team building logic, better draft, better presentation (dynamic attendance).
-Play calling is more responsive and vital to playing well. Sorry arcade lovers but this is no unrealistic dunk fest. You need to have some idea of how an NBA team plays.
O, and i didnt even mention it features some dude named Jordan and all his classic Bulls teams as well as other 80's and 90's rival teams. I dont remember this Jordan guy but he seems pretty talented.
Bottom line, 2K11 is the greatest representation of the NBA in videogame history. This game is a love letter to NBA die-hards like myself. GET THIS GAME.
Rent then Buy...

If you have ever played basketball competitively or you are a fan and understand the sport, you will be grinning hear to ear while playing this game. It plays like basketball in real life. Now its not so realistic that its not fun to play, its not easy to play at first, you have to learn how to play the game because it challenges you like a good video game ususally does.
-Modes- There are no throw away modes in this game.
The Jordan experience has two great modes:
1. The Jordan Challenge- This is 10 of Jordans greatest moments that you get to relive. You have to meet certain goals in each challenge to replicate what Jordan did in that game.
2. Creating a Legend- You can play as Jordan in today's NBA and see how he stacks up against today's superstars.
-My Player Mode- Where I spend most of my time.
You level up your player with every game you play. You really feel like this player you are building up. From getting drafted to becoming a starter, and hopefully becoming an all-star and winning championships. This mode has very high replay value, am a SG right now and plan on trying every position in this mode (Which I know will take me Months and Months). I do not what you to think this sounds like a chore, its honestly that fun to play this mode. You can even play online with the player you are leveling up against other people's player. You do this in pick up games, where you can gain experience and test how good you are against other gamer's created player.
-Team up mode- You can play as your "My Player" with other users "My Player". You can assemble a crew and go up against other people's crew.
-Online Experience-
To put it briefly, it is actually enjoyable.
This game will easily last until the next installment. I will even say that you might not even want the next NBA2K because this one is just that good.
Once you rent this game you will hit the "Keep" button.
-If you can afford it :)
Do NOT rent this game!!!!!

I've been wanting to get this on my ps3 and I was hyped to play it, especially since they put M.J. in it.
He looks great , graphics from the game are awesome.
But the gameplay is where it flopped, 2ksports droppedthe ball, they changed the shooting system, they should've left it the way it was in other 2k games , I would've been happy.

I hated this game and returned it the day after receiving it. I wanted to like. I just don't want to get another college degree to play it.
Fantastic Basketball Simulation (best one ever)!

Let me just get one thing straight. This actually drives me crazy. The game still doesn't look good, it is very bumpy. They really need to up the detail work, but it seems to be a bit better than NBA 2K10, which was almost like playing PS2 games (no offense). But still, with games like Uncharted and Metal Gear, there should be no reason to leave a project like this. Needs to be cleaned up even more. Cannot wait till the year they make the game actually "pretty". But don't get me wrong, it is NOT bad, just not as sharp as I want a concentrated game to be. With 10 guys only on court, in my expectations, this should look amazing, but doesn't.
I play these games just for Basketball. I love the Franchise mode along with creating my own superstar and going through a journey. The modes are almost the same. I wish they put more work into these, as it's what I play all the time. I spend hundreds of hours in these two modes, and this game will not be any different. This game is the BAR for Basketball games on consoles, or anywhere else. And this year around, the Trophies aren't glitched. You can actually earn the Platinum. As far as the look, it's a lot more simple and organized compared to the last few years.
Oh yea, last thing. Online is still awful and unbearable. I don't mind it cause I never liked to play it to begin with, but warning to you fans. Don't get this for its multiplayer modes, you will be HUGELY disappointed. While there are many flaws, this has what I want, and for me this game is perfect (outside the mediocre graphics).
OVERALL = 9.1 (out of 10)
Pros: Controls and game-play are simplistic!
Cons: Graphics and online is strenuous.

The bad. Its very sluggish, for example if on defense if someone breaks you will end up moving atleast 1 seconds after and in the wrong direction. Also when inbounding if the ball is thrown over your head and you press triangle, there will be no response until it seems the ball is officially in play.
I was hoping for NBA Elite (NBA Live 11) but thats delayed so I guess I'm just going to have to go with NBA Live 10

But once I started playing frustration started seeping in 4 turn overs in the first quarter!!! Than I looked at the graphics I can say that it is the worst 2k graphics ever!! I don't understand?? This should have been the pinnacle?
I agree with one of the other member and if you can just wait or better yet buy last year version which looks better and is a lot funner and just download the great teams.. I will not pay full price for this game which I was prepared to do but instead this game was full with a whole lot of hot AIR

Graphics and animation are great, if I did not know any better and I glanced at the TV while someone else was playing the game, I would think it was a real life basketball game playing on TNT or some station.
Presentation is great also, the commentaries are fun to listen to, and how they present things looks really cool.
Gameplay is really cool. It takes awhile to learn the controls, at least it did for me, but after that I was sinking a ton of shots and winning games!
Online... I have not tried this out much, but from my experience, it is not all that bad. Servers don't lag as much as EA servers do.
If you are a NBA fan or just like sports games, I recommend this one.
Very Good

The Challenge of Speaking Up For Yourself
What do you do when you get a knot in your stomach in response to someone being subtly inauthentic, angry, judgmental, demanding or needy? You know in your gut that this person wants something from you - you can feel the pull on you - but it is not overt. Another person, even a therapist, looking at the interaction, may not pick up the wounded, pulling energy.
What most people do in this situation is either go along with what is happening or withdraw - or both. It is very challenging to speak up for yourself in this situation - challenging to even know what to say.
It doesn't work to ask a question, saying something like, "Why are you being judgmental?" The other person will generally deny it and you will be hard-pressed to explain it, since it is subtle.
One way of taking care of your self is to move into compassion for your own feelings. Become aware of the knot in your stomach and trust it. Don't analyze it. Don't tell your self that it must be your issue. Just accept that something is happening that doesn't feel good to you and then, coming from honoring your feelings, decide on the loving action. Below are two examples of what you might say and do when you trust and honor your own feelings:
"Something doesn't feel good. I don't want to have this conversation," and then disengage, walking away or hanging up the phone. It is important to be coming from what we call in Inner Bonding 'your loving Adult – who you are when your intent is to be loving to yourself - giving information rather than attacking. If you attack and leave, then you are blaming and withdrawing, rather than taking loving action on your own behalf. If you are in the car, it is always a good idea to have an iPod handy to put in your ears if you want to disengage from a conversation.
If it seem appropriate to open to learning with the other person, you might say, "Something here doesn't feel good. I'm wondering why you are telling me this?" You would need to make sure that you are being your loving Adult so that you are truly curious rather than blaming. If you say the same thing from your ego wounded self, the energy behind it will feel attacking to the other person and the chances are he or she will become defensive. The other person may become defensive anyway, in which case you would need to disengage from the interaction.
While these seem simple, they are not at all easy to do. First of all, once the knot is in your stomach, it can trigger the fight or flight reaction, and then you will probably forget all about taking care of yourself. You will do what you normally do, which will probably be to ignore, comply, withdraw or attack - none of which are loving actions toward your self or toward the other person.

Ground cardamom (Recipe: spice rub for chicken)
How do you say cardamom?
Nobody's entirely sure of the etymology of the word, though it originated in ancient Greek (kardamomom), but the names for this popular spice from the ginger family are varied: shooshmir (Armenian); sugmel (Tibetan); trúc sa (Vietnamese); phalazee (Burmese); elaichi (Hindi); habbahan (Arabic); karudamon (Japanese); cardamomo (Italian); kardamonas (Lithuanian); kardemon (Estonian); kardemomme (Danish).
My favorite is kardemumma (Swedish) perhaps because I can imagine my Swedish brother-in-law Nils pronouncing each lilting syllable -- kar de MUM a -- his blue eyes twinkling, a glass of cardamom-laced akvavit raised for a toast.

Essex Property Trust's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Third, technology and social media companies and the proximity to the Pacific Rim provided different and well-positioned engine for job growth. This differentiation was apparent in 2011 and will likely continue into 2012 and beyond.
Fourth, rent growth is not just about jobs, but rather the combination of job growth and limited supply of all new housing both rental and for sale. Historically, we have seen very strong rent growth for several years when these conditions are present as they are today.
Fifth, personal and median household income levels typically declined in recessionary times and accelerate during recovery periods. In 2009, personal incomes fell 5.4% in our target markets and have since grown by 10.8%. Looking at national averages for income growth can be misleading as areas with concentrations of employment in the federal government, energy and tech are the leaders in income growth. Economy.com estimates that personal income growth will average 5.5% over the next four years. This income growth is greater than the 3.5% use in our basic assumption.
Finally population and other demographic considerations continue to support strong rental growth demand. Obviously the world economy is in a vulnerable state and we expect external shock and additional volatility, which could affect our expectation. Still I suggest that a prolonged slow pace recovery amid low interest rate is the very favorable environment for the industry and the company.Second topic cap rates, cap rates range from 4.25% to 4.75% for A property in A locations and in the high 4% to low 5% range for B property in A locations. Cap rates increased from there for lesser locations in property quality. Acquisitions still work in this environment due to low interest rate and strong market rent growth expectations. Our preference is finding value-added opportunities, with rents recovering aggressively in many places, market selection and timing is critical to accretive investment.

I bought this after reading the raves here on MUA..unfortunately it didn't work for me. (would have been awesome if it did because its so cheap, but..) It flakes, clumps, and doesn't really extend/thicken/curl my lashes to any degree. I wore it on a run because I didn't have time to remove it and I resembled a panda bear by the end of it. No dice.
Smudge city. Blaaah. I liked the natural yet lush effect it gave my lashes, but it left nice smears on my browbone by mid-day. I wiped them away, touched up with some powder, and... more smudges a couple hours later. No thanks. Back to L'Oreal.
More reviews by finneganandmaggie
I am going to give this one a try again. I had bought this in the past and found it to be average. After reading the reviews, perhaps I need to try again as I may have underestimated Full and Soft. I do remember my lashes DID feel soft...but in the same sense, they were dull.
Before I bought this I was using the L'oreal lengthening mascara. While I like that one, I wanted something more natural for the day. This one is perfect. I have very black which really does make my lashes full and soft. No clumps, and lasts all day.
I've been using Ardell as a base before applying my Lancome Definicils mascara, and I noticed that my lashes were brittle and looked incredibly dry and stiff. I assumed that b/c I was using a base, any mascara I used would result in brittle lashes. However, based on the reviews here, I thought I'd give FNS a try, and I'm glad I did. My lashes are unmistakeably "full and soft," even w/ the Ardell. My lashes are defined and fanned out - very pretty. The formula's not gloopy and chunky, and there are no clumps on my lashes. I like the brush as well; there are numerous thin bristles on the brush which seem to deposit the product on my lashes evenly. I don't think this mascara is for a dramatic, voluminous, lush look, but it's a great everyday, YLBB look.
UPDATE: My lashes are still "full and soft," but I've noticed considerable flaking. Tiny black specks are scatttered right under my eyes and on my cheeks. Once I wipe them away, as soon as I blink, more tiny black dots of mascara appear on my face. :( I'm really bummed... I reeeally wanted to have this be my HG natural-looking-lashes mascara, but I can't go around looking like I sprinkled black pepper on my face!
I LOVE this mascara. I'm a big mascara fan - I love the super-long lash look. I used to constantly try out different kinds of mascara, but Maybelline's Full 'n Soft is the one I always come back to. I have long lashes anyway, but this mascara really lengthens without clumping and stays soft. It creates a very natural, yet wide-eyed look.
I do recommend heating your eyelash curler (using a hair dryer or running it under hot water) to really curl your lashes and wipe off excess mascara with a tissue.
And best of all, it's very affordable. Try it!
This is my HG mascara!! By blinking onto the brush, this product gives me nice thick lashes, and it doesn't smudge or flake despite my oily lids. Maybelline FnS is definately worth a try!!
This is my tried and true stand-by. I have pretty long lashes and this one stays true to it's name out of any mascara I have tried. Stays on almost all day (I re-do makeup anyway if going out after work). The thing noticeable with this is that lashes really do stay soft after application and don't get stuck together when applied. Comes off when washing my face and doesn't leave residue or streaks behind on my cheeks. Wand is really good at separating lashes while applying. I came across this years ago while stopping by a K-Mart on vacation and spotting it in the check-out lane. Have probably purchased 5X since then, I try something new on and off but come back to this one. Price is decent for something that gets tossed every few months anyway. Packaging could be better, printing usually comes off after awhile but that's about the time I know it's due for a new one anyway.
WOW! True to its name. So natural, for every day use. My lashes feel so soft. Will definitely buy again
This is probably the best mascara in Maybelline's lineup, in my opinion. This mascara really makes my lashes look lush, dark, longer, and thicker (without clumping and spiking). I love how I can build and layer without getting clumps. This mascara looks halfway between natural and over-dramatic on my average length, semi-thick lashes. The wear is amazing: no smudging and no flaking. I also love how I can use it on my lower lashes and see hardly any smudges at the end of the day. This is a must buy for those gals who find most volumizing mascaras too clumpy. EDIT: Spoke too soon. I realized that this mascara is too natural for my taste, I really prefer a more dramatic lash.

BELLAIRE, Texas -- Police are looking for a stolen pistol after two suspects were arrested for burglarizing vehicles early Monday morning, according to Bellaire police.
Officials said they were notified Monday afternoon that a car had been burglarized and a blue steel Taurus .380 semi-automatic pistol was taken.
Police said the suspects were arrested near S. Rice Avenue and the West Service Road of IH 610 between Jessamine and Evergreen streets. After they were taken into custody, officers did not find the pistol on the suspects. Police believe the pistol was discarded as the suspects ran from authorities.
Residents in the area of the search are asked to call the Bellaire Police Department at 713-668-0487 if they find the pistol in their yard. Police ask that you do not touch or move the gun and keep it away from children until they arrive.

Visual Kanban board
Axosoft's Card View brings maximum visibility to tracking your sprints & releases.
A table full of data isn't enough to know how your team is doing. To illustrate how your user stories, defects and incidents are moving through your processes, Axosoft features a planning board tool that turns your backlog into draggable cards organized by workflow step. If you practice Kanban principles in your development, this Card View is a fantastic way to manage your sprint and release backlogs.
So what are our Kanban item cards?
Axosoft's item cards enable teams to get key information at-a-glance. Any user can instantly determine how user stories are related, who they're assigned to, the priority level and more. If your team has certain details they would like to quickly absorb, the cards can be modified to reflect their priorities. Need to indicate severity on your defects? Change the color strip to show your configured severity levels. Want to have your incident cards display customer contact information? That's easily included as well.
Give your projects more dimension
There's no learning curve to start using our Kanban board. Axosoft's Card View can be used just like the default workspace grid, so your items still respond to the same keyboard shortcuts, grouping/filtering actions, drag and drop assignments, and automated workflows. As a visual tool, Axosoft becomes a great asset for development reviews, continued backlog management and release planning.
Your custom workflows also factor in here. While you drag items from one workflow step to the next, Card View will adhere to the security roles you've configured. On some teams that may mean only testers and project managers can move item cards out of the testing step, for example. And as you'd expect from a Kanban board, Axosoft's WIP limit options are front and center.

2007 Caddy Escalade
Well - you didn't give us much information to go on, but assuming ( a lot of things ) you have about 20,000 miles on your 04, and assuming it's an AWD, but not the EXT, $36,000 wouldn't be a bad price to pay to buy it out. That's exactly what they're selling for wholesale at Manheim Auctions country wide.
If, however, your mileage is higher, or you have the 2WD version, give it back to GMAC, and buy some interim car that you can enjoy until the 07 debuts.
That's my advice.
dunkirke Posts: 2To nvbanker; Thank you. Its AWD and 12000 miles. If I finance the purchase how do I handle if want to lease 2007 before I complete payment. Do dealers accept and give you credit towards lease of new vehicle ? Am uncertain how things work here. Its not the same where I come from. Thanks. Dunkirke
cads03 Posts: 1I have (well, my wife has) an '02 Escalde, first year of current styling. She has been wanting the Pearl White one for a while now. I was thinking about buying her a new one for Christmas this year, but I don't know what I should do. Are the 06's changed much from 04/05, or are the big changes coming next year for the 07 model year? I hate to buy something brand new, then less than a year later see a model change, then you are stuck with a brand new vehicle that looks dated.
It happened to me last year, I bought an 04 F-250 diesel in Feb, then in Aug, they brought out the 05, man do I like it a lot better, but I am stuck with mine for a while.

jgcd Posts: 1Does anyone know for sure about the very rear seats in the 2007 escalade? Do the second AND third row power fold down, or do you STILL have to physically pick up and remove and find someplace to store the very last row of seats? I would buy an escalade today if those seats in the back would fold down instead of having to be removed by hand.Also, can you get the seats (second row) directly behind the front seats in bench seating instead of bucket seats in the 2006 and the 2007? Thanks for your help. :confuse: ">
Edmunds has come up with some real spy shots and I applaud their CIA-like results. BUT, IMHO, the Escalade looks real CHEAP-LIKE. Ghetto type looking tires do not help either. I bet the sticker will be anything but cheap however. The SUV's are LOSING their value in an amazing free fall manner. Why would anyone buy into this stuff is beyond me.
After seeing the pics today all I can ask is what's the big deal? NOTHING really mind boggling here. EXCEPT the sticker price. Some people are so easily impressed. Especially in the auto world. Buy this truck now and 2 years it will be worth LESS THAN 1/2 OF WHAT ONE PAID. How's GM going to sell anything when they're on the brink of going BK? Check the stock price today anyone?
I like the current Tahoe/Escalade exteriors very much! Particularly the upsweep in the beltline, a small detail that gives a generally generic design some style.
The new beltline couldn't be flatter, and it seems lower to me, less befitting a luxury vehicle.
What's the deal with the 22" tires. They seem like P215's! And the design itself is.....generic.
It is a great idea for GM to offer them, but I've NEVER seen a Tahoe/Escalade with narrower tires on them. Also not befitting a $60k, 5000 lb., AWD vehicle.
The interior is GREAT, but now I don't like the xterior. On the current one I like the exterior, but HATE the interior.
Maybe I'nm crazy, but to me they took anything nice outside, and put it inside. Now I hate the outside.
Fast, luxurious, push-button seat. Styling has taken a step back to generic, chrome or not.
mar666kus Posts: 1I am an owner of a 2004 "Out of the Blue" blue Escalade EXT. I always receive so many comments from other young men and women on the styling and the color. I am afraid to say that I am disappointed too in the new 2007 exterior styling. It looks like a gussied up Mercury Mountaineer, definitely NOT "a good thing"! I am hopeful Cadillac reads this and modifies the new grille and headlights for the EXT since they have almost a year to do so. They also made it look too much like the Tahoe and it no longer has that edgy, crisp-lines bad-boy look. Yes, the interior is better, but not as bright (chrome) and young-looking as I expected. The interior is 2000 model year Lexus. I am truly disappointed. The wheels also lost the crisp smoothness they previously had and have some ugly notchy humps on the spokes by the tires. Also, I am not at all liking the "GM" badge on it. Get BACK with the original program Cadillac, what the HE## happened? Why did you let Chevrolet ru(i)n the SHOW(iness)? Sincerely, Disappointed Cornhusker.
I've have owned 4 escalades since the body style change in 2002. I still have 2 of them now, but I be first in line to buy a new 2007. Except for the GM badge on the side, in my opinion GM has a real winner. It seem they have tried to combine all the features from other high end SUV's into one. I was really interested in a Land rover till I saw the 2007 Escalade... save me a place in line. Great Job Mr. GM thumbs up. :shades:
Yes, the Escalade is truly much improved and the 403hp will really blow the competitors out of the water. Wonder what the 0-60 time would be, maybe low 7's or high 6's?
Just asking, but why do you have 4 of the same vehicle with the same body style? Isnt that rather expensive.
I just own 2 of them right now I have a 2004 suv body style, and 2005 ext body style. I have given one of them to my parents as a thank you for all the time and money they have invested in me sending me through school. Plus it's a tax write off. Trust me my parents are complaining. I'll be getting to 2007 next year and give them the EXT. Who says hand-me-downs are bad. haha
drivenow Posts: 45My dealer has at least one on order (perhaps for the dealership)...says it should be in by mid - January...I'm thinking of ordering one soon...I'm set on optional equiptment however I question the 22 inch wheel/tire option (my heart says yes, my orthopedist says no!!)...I do NOT want to sacrifice ride quality for looks - any thoughts???
The interior of this new Escalade is really nice, probably one of GM's best in recent times. Check out the pictures of the seats as well. The 3rd row seems a bit low off the floor and smaller than that of a Navigator.

Social Housing, Making Small Seem Large↓ Sponsored Links | Updated: February 3, 2014 | Home » Architecture Rumbling
Image Source: Wikipedia
This semester's design class is about social housing, before we jump into the design stage, we need to understand what is social housing? I bet 9 out of 10 people would have projected an image of a stripped-down subsidized housing.
House, be it for the poor or rich must bestow on its inhabitants a sense of dignity, a sense of belonging, having said that, social housing should fits comfortably into the community, allowing it to assimilate into the surrounding community.
Image Source: Ofis
Slovenian architects Ofis have completed Tetris Apartments, a social housing development in Ljubljana.A little bit of text from the architects:"The building stands on the edge of the 650 apartments development which was finished year ago.
The challenge is, can small be beautiful?
I'm looking into the concept of 'making small things big', this would generally requires a fluid space and good lighting that can make even a small dwelling seem free and open, rather than confined and oppressive, energy efficiency is also important and last but not least, creative use of bricks. Why bricks?
Currently I'm looking into Glenn Murcutt's work for its energy efficiency and quality of space.
Dana Cuff suggests that social housing is all about simplicity within complexity. I've been googling and searching for books on creative social housing and the outcome is somewhat disappointed, is affordable housing significant architecture?

You should take a look at boats, particularly sail boats. They cram all the essential elements for living within a very small space often in very clever ways.
nickMarch 29, 2008
beautiful, simple and economical. love it.
ronald butaranMay 8, 2008
i really love using bricks in my designs,, it has so many benefits
PolNovember 25, 2008
I just found myself in your situation! Looking for examples of…"creative social housing and the outcome is somewhat disappointed, is affordable housing significant architecture?". This is going to be a theme for my studio project and I must research the subject before I begin. Since you have been though this already – do you any data for me? I would love to help back if you need some info as well.
Thank you, Pol.

Looking to design mass/low cost housing in Nigeria……. Interesting but somehow didnt give me any clues
St JamestownSeptember 19, 2009
The picture on the top is of st. jamestown. There is only 3 maybe 4 buildings out of all of them that are social housing the rest are rentals.

"Did you think people just made those up for fun?"
…I think that's a perfectly reasonable assumption Jim.
Everything has everything to do with everything.
Jim has quite clearly taken lessons of cepticism from the dudes from Ancient Aliens. Then again he is a griffin.
Let's all remember to follow his wise example and convert to cepticism upon the discovery that we are all mythical creatures.

Just one or loads at once?
Anyone know of a free utility to achieve this?
Just one or loads at once?
the 'net user' command can do this.
I found this script on TechNet:
Code:strComputer = "MyComputer" Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrator, user") objUser.SetPassword "testpassword" objUser.SetInfo
I am not sure it can do this remotely unless you psexec it.Originally Posted by Geoff
From the techrepublic
Essentially, the script reads in a list of computer names from a file called SERVERS.TXT. For each server listed in this file, the script connects to the administrator account on that server and resets the password. All results are posted to a log file (CHANGEPWDSERVERS.LOG), including accounts that the script was unsuccessful in changing.
Thanks guys
@Geoff: yes many passwords remotely.
I like the Techrepublic one - to have a record to see that all are done is excellent.
Run 'net user' in a machine startup script. That'll work.
We use
in a machine startup script.Code:Net user administrator ******

The winning Kennebunkport inn "cookie crawl" cookie – 2014! 19 Dec 2014, 7:01 am
Our Kennebunkport bed and breakfast has come to the rescue — just in time for fabulous holiday parties and family get-togethers — with this unique holiday cookie recipe: Fried Sage Chocolate Shortbread.
Because this brand new treat was crafted in boutique bed and breakfast Captain Fairfield Inn's kitchen, we're sure you'll be the only one on the guest list to bring it. The best part? We can even guarantee they taste amazing.
Captain Fairfield Inn won Kennebunkport Christmas Prelude's Cookie Crawl contest by baking this crowd-pleaser. As a Lark Hotel, we love to create just the right amount of mischief in our guests' vacation experience. We hope this Fried Sage Chocolate Shortbread will do the same for your holiday.
Fried Sage Chocolate Shortbread from Captain Fairfield Inn
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp crumbled, salted fried sage
- (1 bunch fresh sage, 1/4 cup olive oil, coarse salt)
Optional chocolate drizzle: 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 300*F
- Prepare the fried sage: Pinch the leaves off your bunch of fresh sage. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry a few leaves at a time for about 5 seconds. Transfer to paper towels and sprinkle generously with salt. Once cool, crush or chop your fried sage to be incorporated into the shortbread dough. OR If you prefer to simply use fresh sage, we recommend adding a bit of extra salt to the dough as well.
- Make the shortbread dough: Sift together flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Combine butter and sugar in large bowl. Beat until smooth and light in color, about 3 minutes. Mix in vanilla and fried sage, then add the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Using an offset spatula, spread dough evenly into a 9 1/2 inch tart pan with a removable bottom (note: if you don't have a tart pan, try using a regular pie or brownie pan. It just might make the removal of your shortbread pieces a bit more challenging). Smooth the top with spatula. Prick lightly all over with a fork, and use a knife to make shallow cuts marking 12 equal wedges (or whatever pattern you're using to define your separate shortbread pieces).
- Bake about 55-65 minutes until the top is evenly a muted brown color. Remove from oven. Using the cuts you already marked as a guideline, cut the warm shortbread into 12 wedges. Let shortbread cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Remove side section of the pan then slide cookies off the bottom. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Take things over the top: Heat heavy cream in a sauce pan until just boiling. Turn off heat and add chocolate chips. Whisk until melted. If you have some fried sage left over, sprinkle up to 1/2 tablespoon into your melted chocolate and mix. Drizzle over the top of your fried sage chocolate shortbread. Enjoy!

The Wells Reserve – A Great Kennebunkport Destination 30 Sep 2014, 8:26 am
In terms of famous coastlines in Southern Maine, the Kennebunks boast some of the best (and still public) sandy beaches for miles. But funnily enough, one of the most beautiful tucked-away natural places to visit hides just out of sight—and notice—of most visitors to our colonial port town.
Wells Reserve is a lovely place to take a stroll during your visit to our boutique Kennebunkport inn
Approaching Kennebunkport from the south, you'll find yourself winding along route 1 in Wells, past well-loved ice cream shops and old clapboard antique shops proudly spilling their collections out onto their lawns.
But if you're not paying attention, you'll easily miss the right-hand turn for Laudholm Road, home of one of the best-kept "secrets" in the area: The Wells Reserve at Laudholm Farm.
Transformed and preserved by local community efforts in 1982 from the lapsed Laudholm Farms into the non-profit Laudholm Trust, the Wells Reserve now offers its rolling hills, beautifully preserved working farm buildings, winding trails and miles of coastal estuarine habitat for public visits, events and education.
Whether it's cross-country skiing in January, an evening lecture by a well-known author in May, a summer trail run in August, or an autumn craft fair and pumpkin festival in September, there's beauty, education and natural splendor to be found on these 2000 acres of protected wilderness all year round.
Visiting the reserve, you can enjoy beautifully maintained trails rich with informative wildlife and ecological information that wind down to a beautiful and secluded corner of sandy beach and crashing surf. Visiting the Kennebunks for the summer? The little people in your family can enjoy summer science camps and workshops, too.
With its ongoing residential estuarine research activities, The Wells Reserve brings together an inspiring array of community events with an ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship.
And what's more, (for the soon-to-be brides who might be reading) it's large and roomy barn offers a glamorous and down-to-earth A-list wedding and event destination that books up over a year in advance!
No matter when your next visit happens to be, be sure to bring your camera, and your sense of wonder and make sure this charming and oh-so-beautiful hidden gem is at the top of your must-visit list.

A Maine Vacation for your Bucket List 27 May 2014, 5:09 pm
Now that Captain Fairfield Inn's unbelievably luxurious Lark Suite is complete, we find ourselves pondering the nature of a truly exceptional getaway. The spacious suite itself has charming historic details like centuries-old hardwood floors as well as contemporary touches like stylish, comfortable furnishings and a 40 inch LED Smart TV. Such unique accommodations deserve better than a generic agenda – perhaps something special and memorable for 2014 that does not necessarily make your trip itinerary every year.
Our boutique bed & breakfast hotel in Kennebunkport, Maine is surrounded by iconic New England attractions. Within easy walking distance you can shop local artisans' wares, enjoy water views, eat amazing food, and climb aboard a sailboat on its way out to sea. Driving distance things to do in Coastal Maine are too numerous to count, but top sights are outlets, downtown areas, lobster shacks, hiking trails, sandy beaches, museums, and lighthouses.
A few offbeat or uncommon activities can transform a great trip into an unforgettable escape. These items on our concierge staff's bucket list might give you some inspiration.
1) Go horseback riding on the beach. How many of us consider this a perfect romantic date? And how many of us have actually done it? Riverhurst Farm, which is just over 5 minutes from Captain Fairfield Inn, offers guided horseback beach rides.
2) If the sky's the limit, then take a scenic biplane tour with Atlas Aero. The plane takes off from Sanford Seacoast Airport, less than half an hour from Captain Fairfield Inn. It's a pretty drive, plus you can stop on the way in Downtown Kennebunk and/or the Kennebunk Plains Wildlife Management Area former blueberry barrens. Once you take to the skies you'll fly to see everything from Biddeford Pool to Portsmouth, NH.
3) Our favorite sommelier, Erica Archer of Wine Wise, often hosts wine tasting events in Southern Maine cities. It is now our dream to catch the brand new HydiWave Water Taxi service that would carry us over the ocean out of Dock Square to and from one of Erica's wine walks in Ogunquit.

A Late Fall "Staycation" in Kennebunkport 11 Nov 2013, 5:55 am
Captain Fairfield Inn guests come from all over the globe, so it surprised resident managers Jed and Alana to encounter guests who live very close to our Kennebunkport boutique inn. Several residents of the southern Maine coast have elected to stay with us for a while. We think being the boutique choice of those familiar with the area is quite an honor! Especially as the holiday season begins.
For some, a staycation in their home can actually seem difficult and stressful. If they do manage to dodge the neighbor who "spotted" them and wants to chat and they do keep that fervent promise not to run an errand or pick up the phone, it is still a challenge to shake routine. Such a struggle does not automatically encourage rest and relaxation.
You can more easily change your mental mode in a different environment. Staying with us creates the opportunity to limit locals' expenses and travel time while still allowing them to enjoy attractions just a short walk from our prime location in Kennebunkport.
Guests from far away also hunker down for a staycation experience. We deliver breakfast baskets–our version of room service–so you can enjoy plenty of food, coffee, and juice outside our dining room. Whether you rise early or sleep in, you can choose breakfast in bed. You could even access your own Netflix and iTunes through the room's AppleTV, pick up some movie-style popcorn from H.B. Provisions, and curl up in bed to watch a show or three.

Late October in Kennebunkport 5 Oct 2013, 11:47 am
One thing we're sure about is that there are always things to do in Kennebunkport. Each time of year has its own special draw, but Halloween is a personal favorite of our resident managers Jed and Alana.
Each October, the southern coast of Maine boasts harvest festivals and holiday happenings aplenty. Every garden overflows with mums; every stoop with pumpkins. Some visitors survey the Fall foliage between apple-picking and antiquing. Others try free samples of small-batch mead before hitting a farmer's market or craft fair. The shoulder season means no worries about crowds whether you roam the day away or spend it fireside with a good book and mug of spiced tea.
Last year our Kennebunkport boutique hotel introduced a BYOP pumpkin carving contest with some sweet rewards. Every entrant received a bottle of local craft beer perfect for a fall night as well as a bag full of homemade candies fresh from our kitchen. The contest winner—who had never before carved a jack-o-lantern—wine a future free night's stay. We are thrilled to resurrect this Halloween event for 2013! Click here for details.
Guests less than enthralled by All Hallow's Eve are not out of place if they visit in late October. They can still sample decadent seasonal specialties at breakfast, like caramel apple scones and Brazilian pumpkin rabanada (think hearty, fried French toast!), but each guest celebrates or doesn't on their own terms. Foodie festival Harvest on the Harbor in Portland and wine tastings at Kennebunk's Bel Cibo da Cherie and Downeast Wine Imports are among the events appealing to any traveler.
Those reveling in all things scary, silly, and spooky have almost too much to choose from. The Brick Store Museum will celebrate area history on Halloween weekend with their 10th annual All Souls Walk through Hope Cemetery. Plus, this year clothing from the Brick Store's collection of 19th and 20th century costume pieces will be on exhibit through November 15th. Bentley's Saloon always hosts a costume party with live music and plenty of raucous fun — this year on the 26th. All of Dock Square comes alive with decorations, sales, and trick-or-treaters on October 31st. Neighborhood brewpub Federal Jack's will host a Haunted House for charity on the big night, which might be the perfect excuse to stop by for a harvest ale or two.
We're so looking forward to Halloween!

Day Trip to the South from Kennebunkport 19 Sep 2013, 6:44 am
Fall is the perfect time for a slow, meandering drive — whether it is to peep at the leaves, or simply enjoy the golden Autumn light over the ocean. We offer turn by turn directions (just ask!) for a variety of drives from here at our boutique Kennebunkport inn. One of our most popular unique driving routes follows the Coast to the South. The expedition begins at the Captain Fairfield Inn and ends in Portsmouth, NH, and includes the 'Maine Beaches' region towns of Wells, Ogunquit, York, and Kittery.
It is a nice way to enjoy a few more hours of vacation for those who have checked out and are traveling toward Boston, just an hour and a half away from our design-driven Kennebunkport lodging. Of course, you can easily take one day (or even two!) during your stay at the Captain Fairfield Inn to fully explore some of the many fantastic coastal towns less than 45 minutes south.
Even travelers who have utilized our instructions before or who are familiar with the area will always find something different to see near the Southern Maine shore. Perhaps you'd like to head to the summit of Mount Aguamenticus and feel like the ruler of all you survey. Captain Fairfield Inn guests have raved about their experiences taking an entertaining and informative class from the Stonewall Kitchen Cooking School in York. Or maybe you'd like to see the port city just over the border in New Hampshire. Portsmouth's Strawberry Banke Museum is always a favorite historic site.
We understand, though, if you've finished with the outdoorsy, edifying, and/or historical part of your vacation and instead you're after some retail therapy. When headed to Kittery, ME for shopping at the Kittery Outlets and Kittery Premium Outlets, we like to grab a nice lunch first at an all natural bakery and cafe called the Beach Pea. If you linger until late afternoon or dinnertime, there's no better choice than The Black Birch for a refined take on classic comfort food.

It's August! Hit the Beach in Southern Maine 16 Aug 2013, 11:02 am
We're in for a phenomenal stretch of summer weather here in Southern Maine. Time to hit the beach!
The winding coastline of Kennebunkport has a number of options — sandy and rocky, festive and secluded. Each beach seems to have its own personality. Check out these stretches of sand and pebble close to our Kennebunkport boutique inn.
Colony Beach
Colony Beach–or Arundel Beach–is a true neighborhood beach. Locals fish the breakwater, watch the sunlight hit the ocean, or even sit in their cars reading. Parking here doesn't require a pass, and it is walkable from the Captain Fairfield Inn or Dock Square. Probably the smallest choice in the Kennebunks, the sand and pebble Colony Beach marks the beginning of Parson's Way Shore Walk. Start here and follow the seashore to spot some other free attractions: St. Ann's Church, Walker's Point, Spouting Rock, and Blowing Cave.
Mother's Middle and Gooch's
The connected Kennebunk beaches, Mother's Beach, Middle Beach, and Gooch's Beach, are often full of people and energy. They offer a sidewalk, facilities (in season), and a playground. Residents stroll the sandy expanse with their dogs in the morning, and families and lively groups populate them each afternoon. They're great for sunbathing, but watch out for high tide! Captain Fairfield guests can borrow a season pass and make the easy five minute drive from the inn.
Glorious Goose Rocks
Kennebunkport's Goose Rocks Beach is one of our favorites. Between the miles of sand skirted by tall grass and the rocky outcroppings emerging from the bay, Goose Rocks feels like the quintessential Maine beach. Being fifteen minutes outside of town keeps it somewhat less crowded and ideal for a long walk or a picnic. We provide one day pass (on us!) for guests headed to Goose Rocks Beach.
Quiet as a Parson
An off-the-beaten-path find for in or off season visitors is Parsons Beach. Parking is limited but free. The scenery? Lovely. The mood? Quiet and relaxed. We recommend Parson's Beach to those of our guests exploring the coast to the south or simply heading that direction after check-out. Ask for turn by turn directions leading to this narrow, sandy strip in Kennebunk.
Wherever you're bound, Captain Fairfield Inn staff will be happy to lend you a tote with large, luxurious beach towels from vineyard vines as well as folding chairs. Just like our creative cooked-to-order breakfasts, a parking pass and beach gear (to use during your stay) are included in your room rate.

Kennebunkport Happy Hour 7 Aug 2013, 12:11 pm
Strolling around Dock Square after lunch? Looking for a place with a view where you can sit and relax? Feeling peckish in the afternoon or hankering for a cocktail? There is one solution for all these dilemmas: the consummate Happy Hour in Kennebunkport.
Duck Slider and Calamari at David's KPT.
Sure, you can grab a drink at the Captain Fairfield Inn and snack on our freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, but it's nice to have abundant opportunities for going out on the town. These are a few fabulous options within walking distance of our boutique hotel.
Dine with a View
For expansive views, there can be no better choice than Stripers Waterside Restaurant. Between 3 & 5 on Sundays and weekdays you can sit in adirondack chairs overlooking the river delta and beach. Servers bring drinks right to your seat while you watch the waves and let the sun soak into your skin.
Affordably Delicious
For affordable, delicious food we favor the instantly popular David's KPT, Kennebunkport's newest waterfront dining destination. Just a few blocks from the Captain Fairfield Inn en route to Dock Square you can find generous, shareable dishes. Tasty steak tartar, mouthwatering fried calamari, to-die-for duck sliders, and more for $6 or less! The indoor/outdoor happy hour runs from 3 to 5 all week long.
Noshing Nearby
For convenience, we recommend Tia's Topside, which is just over the bridge in Lower Village Kennebunk. Oh no, it's after 5? Don't fret, because Tia's offers happy hour every day from 3-6PM. Get an appetizer or two, or simply enjoy 50% off alcoholic beverages. Don't miss out on river views from the deck!
For the Oyster Lover
Incomparable oysters harvested from Maine's clean, cold waters can be found at each of the above hot spots as well as nearby One Dock. Still, our pick for the oyster lover is The Hatch, located underneath Federal Jack's. Those on a quest for fresh, local oysters can dine happy on quite a selection. When in town on a Wednesday, stop by between 4 & 7 for $1 oysters and $3.50 beers.
You can stay on budget and continue your appetizer round-up in the evening. Simply order some small bites for dinner at one of the area's superb restaurants.

text: Posted 2012-11-6 by Ai Ching & filed under Design. We know that the web is now filled with infographics. Is it still possible to come up with infographics that stand out and get attention from the mass? The answer is yes and yes. Think about it. What makes you click on the "Share this" button on the page where you saw an infographic? Here are 3 tips to structure your story so that you can get started: 1. Make it relevant. As every infographic is essentially a pitch, ensure that you know who you are talking to. If your target audience does not understand jargons, keep them out of your infographic. Get into their minds – what pains them most, what gets them the light bulb as they are reading it? How do you keep the topic easy to understand? 2. A common subject made unique. This has to do with a lot of clever writing but like all email headers, you know that how much people read depends on the subject line. If you had stats that showed a 10% reduction in crime rate and that really is something to be celebrated about, turn it into something more meaningful – what interests people about crime rate reduction? Instead of "10% reduction in crime rates in NY", you want to end up with a story that sounds like "3 possible reasons why crime rates went down in NY" 3. Create a data-driven story. Once you have figured out: – Who your audience is and what topic they would be interested about – How cleverly you can make the subject more interesting Then all you need to do is to roll it out in a structured format: – A grand big title – An introduction of why the topic matters (Why a 10% drop in crime rate is a big figure) – Point 1 – Reason 1 why crime rate went down – Point 2 – Reason 2 why crime rate went down – Point 3 – Reason 3 why crime rate went down Once you have the above ready, you are on your way to create a flabbergasting infographic, which does not take rocket science. Up next, a designer's tip on how to best leverage Piktochart to easily get the best designs!

Mailboxes can stay put
Date: June 8, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Florida Department of Transportation officials said they are planning to remove 41 new mailboxes this week that they just installed Friday, May 29 on Longboat Key.
"The decision was made based on the community's concerns and inquiries," said Darren Alfonso, public information officer for the state's Gulf of Mexico Drive repaving project.
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis and Public Works Director Juan Florensa also made inquiries to the department of transportation, asking for leniency.
On Friday, May 29, a state-hired contractor placed 41 new mailboxes at residences along Gulf of Mexico
Drive, because the existing ones were deemed either unsafe or non-compliant with regard to setback requirements for placement on a state highway.
Alfonso said certified letters were mailed to the affected homeowners Friday, June 5 and most letters were received Saturday, June 6. He said FDOT has waited to remove the mailboxes, because it wants to give homeowners time to decide whether or not they want to keep the new mailboxes.
Former Longboat Key Mayor Jeremy Whatmough, who urged town officials to look into the matter at a Town Commission regular meeting Monday, June 1, was happy to hear the news.
"The department of transportation did the right thing," Whatmough said.

Tabbed interface
The installation process does not bring any kind of surprises and it does not last more than a few minutes. Once you wrap it up, you come by a plain and simple interface, which only consists of a few buttons and several tabs, which ensures a quick access to all available options. Moreover, it is suitable to all types of users, from beginners to highly experienced people.
Video and audio configurations
This software utility enables you to record your entire screen or just a specified area of it, so as to create video tutorials, for example. You should know it is possible to tweak a pretty large number of options. To be more precise, you can customize the area which you want to record or use some of the presets available, you can change the number of frames per second used, as well as the video codec, encoding speed and bit rate. When it comes to audio setting, you can choose which device to capture the audio, the encoding mode and format.
Highlight the cursor and assign keyboard shortcuts
Aside from that, it is also possible to enable mouse tracking and a drawing mode, insert custom colored click marks and click sounds (WAV), and highlight the cursor. The output folder can be changed, hotkeys can be assigned to all actions available, a log can be inserted at a custom position, the language can be changed and you can input details such as title, author, copyright and description.
Bottom line
To conclude, Screen AVI CAM is an efficient piece of software and a good choice for people interested in creating tutorials or any other kinds of videos with their screen. The response time is good, resource requirements are minimal and there are sufficient options incorporated to keep you busy for quite a while.
