Automating React With Yeoman and Grunt
Written by Simon Bailey
Over the xmas holidays I had a look at React and was very impressed with the library from the facebook engineers. React is offered as the V in MVC specifically focusing on DOM manipluation. What makes React stand out from the crowd is its simplicity and a virtual DOM to increase performance with an added bonus that it can also render on the server using Node.js. I found its priniciple easy to grasp and was up and running in no time at all. I suggest running through the React tutorial to gain a quick understanding of how to get started building a simple app and understand component based logic.
Being a huge fan of automation using Yeoman and Grunt, I was keen on building a generator to scaffold out a React app. In this post I will go through the steps of how to build a simple React application using the Yeoman generator-react-webpack I wrote.Read on →

Cherry Jam
This weekend there were local Ontario cherries at the market and a got a lot of them. The first thing that I did with the cherries (other than eating a bowl of them) was make cherry jam. Pitting 6 cups worth of cherries took a long time! But it was worth it. The cherry jam tastes amazing.
I accidentally grabbed the "light" version of the pectin crystals which ended up being alright as it called for a higher ratio of fruit to sugar. The jam did not seem to set and it is a bit runny.
6 cups cherries (pitted, halved and crushed)
1 box Certo pectin crystals
4 & 1/2 cups sugar
1. Bring the cherries, 1 cup of sugar and the pectin crystals to a boil with high heat in a large pot.
2. Add the rest of the sugar.
3. Bring to a hard boil for 1 minute.
4. Remove from heat.
5. Stir and skim foam for 5 minutes.
6. Pour into sterilized jars.
To sterilize the jars:
1. Wash in hot soapy water.
2. Keep the lids in boiling water until ready to use.
3. Place jars in 225F oven for 10 minutes and keep warm until ready to use.

You need to be covered by health insurance that keeps up with your needs so that you can keep on top of your health. The following article is going to provide you with advice to help you get and maintain reliable health insurance coverage.
Every year evaluate your health insurance plan. It is important to always pay attention to new plans that are available, as well as any changes that may be occurring to your policy.
Research different types of health plans, and decide on the one that best fits your needs. There are many different plans to choose from, including PPO, POS and HMO. Each offers their own unique benefits and shortcomings which must be considered before choosing which you want to go with. Make sure that you'll be able to keep your doctor if you want to.
When you are choosing which health insurance plan you want, consider how healthy you and your family are. If you don't forsee any health issues, then a cheaper health insurance policy is probably what you will choose. This will save you money right away, but may end up costing more if any problems arise in the future.
If you are enrolled in Medicare, you should look at a medicare supplemental insurance policy and not a health insurance policy. Refer to the Medicare links in our posts above to get more info on medicare supplement quotes. Specifically, if you are in Texas, you will want to get a Texas medicare supplement.
Know all the details of your insurance planl so that you can avoid bloated payments, and this will ensure that you are getting the most out of your health insurance. You'll need to know what providers are a part of your plan — and what you'll be covering out of pocket.
If possible, try to avoid paying for your health insurance with a credit card. Many insurance providers charge an extra fee up to 15% more if paying you pay the premium with your credit card, and they might tack on an admin fee.
In conclusion, having good health is an important part of life. Having good health insurance is essential to making sure you stay healthy. Use the tips featured above to help you to purchase a good health insurance policy that is right for you.

That's fine, but drawing conclusions because a scheduler handles make jobs of 128 and higher better than another is wrong.Don't you understand what i am talking about? "RIFS can handle interactive well from low workload to high workload on desktop." I have mentioned about that and seems you haven't read my newest post. That means you don't have anything to debate with me, all right ?
There is no such claim. I'm simply pointing out that readers should ignore test results with absurd work loads. They server no comparative purpose.OK I mention one more things. U haven't try and you are just claiming that *RIFS* is really bad, so anyway you don't have anything to debate with me

The street structure, organised in a grid pattern, makes it easy to get around in Buenos Aires, and the best way to explore the city and take in its character is on foot. However, the city is serviced by an efficient and cheap public transport system that consists of buses and an excellent underground rail service (the Subte). Although it services most of the city centre, the Subte is not very extensive beyond the central core. The Subte costs ARS4.50 per journey. It gets very hot and crowded in summer especially during peak hours, and closes between 10pm and 5am. The bus (colectivo) network is huge and covers the city, and although very useful for getting around, it can be confusing for tourists. Bus fares are paid in coins into an automatic ticket vending machine when boarding the bus and cost a minimum of ARS2.50. Many bus services run all night but with less frequency. There are also urban train services that can be useful for reaching the outlying suburbs. Taxis are everywhere and relatively inexpensive, but it is safer to phone for a radio taxi or remise, a fixed-price radio cab booked in advance that acts like a chauffeur-driven car and can be cheaper over longer distances. They are more useful than renting a car for excursions from the city and even for a day's tour of the suburbs.
Electrical current in Argentina is 220 volts, 50Hz. Most hotels and offices use the three-pin flat type plug, however most older buildings use the two-pin round plug.
The unit of currency is the Argentinean Peso (ARS), which is divided into 100 centavos. Currency can be exchanged at banks and cambios (bureaux de change) but it is easier to use ATMs, available in most towns, which reflect the current exchange rate. Major credit and debit cards are generally accepted, and US Dollars can be used in many tourist establishments.
The international access code for Argentina is +54. Mobile phones work on the GSM network, and therefore some USA and Canadian SIM cards will not work in Argentina. Mobile roaming charges can be very expensive, so a good option is to buy an Argentine SIM on arrival. Internet cafes are widely available and many hotels also offer internet access.

Buenos Aires has a temperate climate with average temperatures ranging from 94°F (35°C) in January to 50°F (10°C) in July. The heaviest rain falls during autumn and spring, though rain can be expected at any time of the year. Many locals leave Buenos Aires during the hot summer months (December, January and February) and head for the coastal resorts.
Manuel Tienda Leon runs a shuttle-bus every hour to Madero Terminal in the city centre, where smaller shuttle buses connect passengers to final destinations. Rides to the city centre are about 40 minutes and cost approximately US$14. Public buses are cheaper but can take up to two hours to the city centre. Private cars, also called remis, are a reliable option with fixed pre-set prices. They are available for hire on the lower level of both terminals or by phone and cost upwards of US$35.
Car rental companies have desks in Terminal A.
Metered taxis are available outside the terminal buildings and cost between ARS150 and ARS250. Taxis have reservation booths inside the airport and visitors should confirm the price before making the reservation. Avoid touts and unlicensed taxis.
The two terminals are linked by a covered walkway.
There are several shops, pharmacies, restaurants, cafes and bars, as well as duty-free shopping. Bureaux de change and ATMs are available as well as a 24-hour bank. There is a left-luggage facility and a tourist information desk in Terminal A. Other facilities include mobile phone hire, medical services, a VIP lounge and internet access.
Long and short-term parking is available in both a multi-level covered parking garage (adjacent to Terminal A) and an open-air lot. Covered parking costs ARS 20 per hour, up to ARS 120 per day, while open lots have a daily limit of ARS 80.
Wifi is available in terminals A and B.

Never before has $7.99 per month been a better deal. Sure, when I first started my Netflix subscription a few years ago, I was satisfied to watch old movies whenever I wanted, wherever I wanted, at such a nominal fee. And I could also watch series that had long since disappeared from the television screen. But on February 1, Netflix shook up its basic marketing plan, and the whole television industry for that matter, by releasing its first-ever original series, House of Cards. It wasn't quite the fact that Netflix came out with its own programming that threw the industry for a loop, it was more so how Netflix decided to relay the new 13-episode series to its subscribers. Instead of the typical week-by-week play, Netflix released all of House of Cards' episodes at once, leaving viewers to decide how they wanted to watch the series.
"Ultimately, we all arrived at 13 in one day because that seemed in line with what Netflix had to offer viewers that very few networks are able to, which is the liberty to watch things how they want to watch them, when they want to watch them, on what device they want to watch them on," House of Cards head writer and creator Beau Willimon tells Hollywood.com exclusively.
But when Willimon and his team first started dreaming up how they would produce House of Cards, they didn't necessarily plan to release the show in this manner. "When I started working on the script with my writers, we hadn't made a decision as to how we were going to deliver it," he says. "Certainly, 13 all at once was one of several options, so I guess I really thought about the story as something that should be able to work both in a long format and something that could be watched all at once."
RELATED: How House of Cards Got Me to Give Up Twitter
Netflix decided to go with the all-at-once model, and the show was an instant success that got its subscribers talking. It is likely this success that prompted Sony and Netflix decided to release the show on DVD — now, consumers who do not subscribe to Netflix will be able to purchase the show and be a part of the fad.
It is, after all, the binge watching experience that makes this show so popular. "We always did think about it as a 13-hour movie," Willimon says. "However people ended up watching it, we wanted to have the more cinematic feel both visually and narratively than what you might find in a typical TV show."
Typical is one thing House of Cards is not. It's safe to say that many Netflix subscribers approached the show in the binge watching fashion, which goes against all regular TV programming conventions. "Generally, I think that the viewers tend to be the ones who determine the direction of things," Willimon says. "And they have determined that they want to be empowered by the choice of how they want to watch things. And those of us who make art and those of us who write about it have to respond to that."
So, Netflix decided to deliver what the viewers craved. "If people binge watch the show and have a great experience doing so, and it becomes a unique experience as compared to other new shows that have come out, fantastic," Willimon explains. "The most important thing to me is that they not only binge watch, but that they like what they saw. That it was worth the binging."
RELATED: 'House of Cards' A Hit on Netflix
Willimon adds, "I just want people to think that the experience is worth the 13 hours they put in regardless of how they put in those 13 hours."
So now, by putting this show on DVD, Sony and Netflix are opening up the cultural phenomenon this show has created to a wider audience to experience. "There is a little bit of a cultural moment here, because this is the first time that this has been done for a new series," Willimon says. "It's been an evolution, and we're just the next stage in it."

Spanakorizo (Greek Spinach Rice)
I was looking for some Greek side dishes to go with my lamb souvlaki when I came across the concept of spanakorizo or Greek spinach rice. At its base it is just what it sounds like, spinach and rice along with some Greek seasonings. Lemon, dill and feta are some of my favorite flavours and since I already had them out for other parts of the meal they went into the spinach rice as well. Though this rice dish is pretty simple to make already, if you are in a pinch for time or oven space you can cook it in a rice cooker. The light and fluffy rice with lemon, dill and feta was really tasty and went well with the rest of the meal! I have a feeling that I will be making this a lot.
Spanakorizo (Greek Spinach Rice)(makes 4 servings)
Printable Recipe
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 bunch spinach (roughly chopped)
1 cup long grained rice (I used brown rice)

1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
1/4 cup dill (chopped)
salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon (juice and zest)
1/4 cup feta (crumbled, optional)
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
4. Add the and spinach and cook until the spinach wilts.
5. Add the rice, chicken stock, parsley, dill and season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes (50 minutes for brown rice).
7. Hit with a splash lemon juice and garnish with feta.

Unfortunately, the DirectX architecture is so tightly wedded to Windows, that it most likely wouldn't be worth the effort - also the best people to do it would be the graphics card people...and they ain't going to...
I've been wondering since I made the switch to Free software why game developers don't see the advantages of it. I mean if they all contributed to development of open engines, APIs and dev-tools they could still charge what they do now for the content/media, and probably in a ton of cases, the community would port their engine to other platforms all by their themselves. But somehow they're all a bunch of lazy asses who'd rather just do a half assed job with Directx and thereby guarantee that within a decade nobody will be able to play their game ever again. If it makes a profit who gives a fuck right?
wrapping d3d to opengl is not really costly...
But you have real problems when OpenGL can not exactly map some things like texture formats - that makes for example UT3 real slow...
Last edited by Kano; 04-22-2008 at 08:30 PM.
The options for GNU/Linux, as I see them are thus:
1. Carry on as we are, with a large 3D performance reduction from doing the Direct3D->OpenGL conversion.
2. Wait for some "bare metal" facilities from Xen and other virtualization technologies. We can then install Windows and run Windows games at near-native speed.
3. Lobby games companies to either:
a) Give us native ports of the big titles.
b) Implement an OpenGL renderer alongside the Direct3D one, making 3D performance through WINE much faster.
c) Make a point of using SDL for all future titles, allowing easier porting onto non-Windows platforms.
4. Hope that the likes of Intel, nVidia and AMD/ATI wake up some day and decide to do a native Direct3D port for their graphics chips, and help link the WINE-based d3d9.dll to it.

Shaders, on the other hand... That's a differing story and I'm not all too sure what is getting done with those- it's probably not using HLSL2GLSL from AMD which would have a good mapping for them so they can interchangeably do D3D and OpenGL demos with the same shader and texture sets.
Heh... If I'm reading the WINE project info on this right, they're basically providing a "driver" layer that looks like an abstract NVidia or AMD card to the D3D layer stuff. That's NOT how one gains speed at this stuff...

I guess no one looks at wikipedia
SDL, is Simple DirectMedia Layer
On windows, it is like this
GAME -> SDL -> DirectX
on linux
GAME -> SDL -> OpenGL/Alsa/(Other thing for mouse etc)
on OSX
GAME -> SDL -> Quartz/OpenGL/(Other mouse related stuff)
so it behaves differently on different OS's
as for directx
So, actually, it should be possible to have a DirectXmedia layer (I think), in fact if it is made to use SDL, it could save development time, as well as having to skip redirecting calls to OpenGL/OpenAL/X/etcOriginally Posted by wikipedia article on directX
GAME -> (WINE ->) DXL -> SDL -> Native System Calls
then remove SDL
APP -> WINE -> DXL -> Native System Calls
and if the apps start to be compiled under linux, then
APP -> DXL -> Native System Calls

USA: online support for marriage equality
Today on the net, campaigning in favour of marriage equality in the US is well underway online. Twin sisters separated at birth find each other through Facebook. And a Ukrainian stuntman shares some breathtaking shots of his death defying deeds.
USA: online support for marriage equality
Hopes are high among supporters of marriage equality as the US Supreme Court took up the debate on Tuesday. Between now and the month of June, justices from America's highest judicial body will make a nationwide ruling on the recognition of marriage between two people of the same sex, a statute currently recognized in 9 of America's 50 states.
Campaigning in favour of marriage equality is well underway online, using the colour red to promote support. Thousands of Facebook users, including politicians and celebrities, are using this profile picture demanding equal rights for all. The image was produced by the NGO "Human Rights Campaign" which works to achieve equality for LGBT Americans.
Activist groups and campaigners are making great use of social media to get their message across. This video was uploaded to YouTube by Daniel Martinez-Leffew, a 12 year old boy from California, and it has since gone viral. He was adopted by his two dads when he was five years old and appeals to Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, who has two adopted children of his own, to speak out in favour of same sex marriage.
And with polls suggesting Americans are showing more and more support for legal recognition of same sex matrimony, countless web users have been speaking out openly on where they stand on gay marriage: a debate that continues to divide the country.
Twin sisters find each other 25 years later using Facebook
Imagine, at the age of 25 you find out you have a twin sister, and as you wait to meet her in flesh you can get to know her via the Internet … This is the incredible story of Anaïs and Samantha.
A story that began back in December 2012 when Anaïs Bordier who was adopted from South Korea and raised in France stumbled upon a YouTube video featuring an American actress who looked just like her. Two months later she saw her double again in a movie trailer. Totally taken aback by this striking resemblance, Anaïs started doing a bit of online research about the actress, Samantha Futerman, and made an astonishing discovery: they were born on the same day and both adopted in Seoul.
With no doubt in her mind that Samantha was her twin sister, Anaïs set about getting in contact with the actress who lives thousands of kilometers away, via Facebook. After a couple of failed attempts, she managed to connect with Samantha who was just as taken aback and excited as she was.
The two women feel their story deserves to be shared with as many people as possible and have decided to continue the tale where it began : on the web. They have launched a Kickstarter campaign to finance a DNA test to confirm they are indeed twins, as well as a full length documentary about their incredible discovery. The film will focus on them as they prepare to meet in person for the very first time, something that look set to happen in the very near future.
Now trending on social networks
One web user, weary of all those press articles offering advice for women on how to protect themselves from sexual harassment, has launched the satirical hashtag #SafetyTipsforLadies, through which she shares all manner of ridiculous and wacky handy hints for women on how to avoid unwanted attention from sexual predators. She wants to remind people that the only ones at fault are the perpetrators of sexual attacks; that the victims are in no way to blame, regardless of how they were dressed or where they were when the attack happened. Her thread is proving extremely popular online, particularly among female social networkers…
Ukrainian daredevil performs death-defying stunts
Ukrainian stuntman, known as Mustang Wanted, is absolutely fearless, as will attest the numerous photos and videos he posts online. Breathtaking, heart stopping, shots that show the daredevil hanging onto the edges of buildings, hundreds of meters above the ground… impressive feats, and extremely dangerous, and obviously something that should be left to the professionals.
Video of the day
As we can see in this video, American Yoyo pro Ann Connolly has got some pretty impressive moves : a superb display which will no doubt inspire and impress yoyo enthusiasts the world over...

Customer Reviews for Large Windows Graber Privacy
"Very attractive"
By daveysan from Colorado
I have hung vertical blinds before, but only for for patio doors; this one was a 4x4 window. It was fairly easy to install, and I must say that the split stack is a much more attractive solution than having the stack on just one side. I bought "Tahiti Weave Tortoise Shell," and it looks great. I like the texture, and the color is pretty accurate (but get a sample to be certain). I recommend this product.View this product
"Nice, solid product"
By Miniscape from Hudson Valley
I was trying to match some old blinds with the fabric inserted in a rigid vane. One out of four in the room had broken. This new one matched beautifully and was of better quality than my old ones. Went up easy breezy. These solid verticals insulate big windows well too. Thanks!View this product

1. Singing In The Face Of Death
the point upon his palm as red as wine
as though the steel had sheltered in his heart.
He ran the risk of death to bring a sign
long promised. In that hand, we all could see
that once stained red, the steel had lost its shine
But free men pay a price for living free
and sometimes die as free men to retain
the right to chose to whom we bend the knee
We offer this as comfort to our slain:
All men must die - but you whom honor calls-
You will live on in many a bard's refrain
And when we gather safely in our halls
Your names will ring with glory from the walls
In this Terza-Rima sonnet, an unnamed Rider of Rohan sings of Hirgon of Gondor.
Hirgon rode to Rohan, bringing the red tipped arrow that asked them to remember their pledge to ride to Gondor's aid in time of war. His headless body was discovered later on the road; the arrow was still in his hand.

Overall, I continue to think that if this idea ever works, it's best to have a quickbench-cli and a quickbench-gui. For the former, something like quickbench could give a balanced view: there is a single threaded test (scimark2), a multhreaded (7-zip) and a non-trivial disk stress that seems to capture real world speed.
For the GUI, perhaps some of the tests in gtkperf or similar could do the 2D part, and then I guess a 3D test would be challenging. I am not sure qgears2 is a good test, even in a synthetic sense.

U.S. Cellular Field, Chicago, Illinois
W: D. Martinez (1-0)
L: A. Reed (5-2)
S: J. Lyles (1)
CHICAGO -- Jordan Lyles warmed up in the Houston Astros' bullpen, watching the Chicago White Sox load the bases with two outs in the ninth inning and realizing the situation he was about to be thrust into.With the Astros clinging to a two-run lead, Lyles was called on to get the final out in his first career save opportunity. He worked back from a 3-0 count against Chicago's Avisail Garcia and struck him out looking to give the Astros the 10-8 win Monday night for their third win in four games.Lyles was available in the bullpen with Houston using a six-man rotation and it being his day to throw a side. The right-hander, who was the Astros' third pitcher of the ninth, said he couldn't recall saving a ballgame at any level of his baseball career."It's just one of those last-minute things," Lyles said. "I fell behind 3-0 and started to throw the ball over the plate. Luckily (Garcia) took the last pitch and (home plate umpire Adrian Johnson) called it a strike."Matt Dominguez hit a tiebreaking solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning and Chris Carter followed with his second home run of the game to put the Astros in position for the win.Houston squandered a five-run lead and trailed 8-7 -- after Chicago scored five in the sixth inning -- before tying the score on Carter's RBI single in the seventh.White Sox reliever Addison Reed (5-2) struck out Jose Altuve and Jason Castro to open the ninth before Dominguez put Houston back ahead with his 19th homer, a shot to left field on a 1-0 pitch."I felt awesome out there," Reed said. "I felt great. I felt I had everything working and made a couple bad pitches. I hung a slider to Dominguez and he made me pay for it."Carter then added his 25th of the season."You look at the five-run inning and for these guys to respond the way they responded it speaks to the resilience of the ballclub," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "I couldn't be more proud of them."David Martinez (1-0) pitched 2 2/3 innings to get his first major league win, recovering after surrendering three runs in the sixth.Carter finished 3 for 4 with the two homers and four RBIs in his third career multihomer game. His two-run homer in the fifth gave the Astros a 6-1 lead before the White Sox rallied for the lead. It was sweet redemption for Carter against his former organization."It's great to beat the team that drafted you and traded you away when you come back here and (hit two homers) here," Carter said.Jeff Keppinger homered to start the bottom of the fifth and right fielder L.J. Hoes dropped Gordon Beckham's fly ball near the wall, which would have been the third out of the inning, allowing a run to score pulling Chicago within three. Alejandro De Aza finished with four hits to tie his career high set July 20 against Atlanta.Brandon Barnes opened the top of the sixth with a double, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Andre Rienzo's wild pitch to push the lead to 7-3.The White Sox then took the lead with five runs in the bottom of the inning.Dunn had a two-run homer, his 30th of the season, to become the second left-handed hitter in White Sox history to have consecutive 30- homer seasons. Jim Thome did it previously from 2006-08.Martinez came on with one out and gave up a single to Keppinger, a double to Dayan Viciedo and an RBI single to Josh Phegley. Martinez then balked to allow Viciedo to score the tying run and De Aza's RBI single to left against a drawn-in infield put Chicago ahead.Astros starter Brett Oberholtzer allowed only one run through four but failed to get out of the sixth and exited after giving up five runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. Beckham had a run-scoring grounder in the third to get the White Sox on the board.There was plenty of sloppy play between the teams with the two worst records in the American League. The White Sox and Astros combined for three errors leading to three unearned runs, three wild pitches, a balk and countless mental mistakes.The Astros took the lead with three runs in the second inning off Rienzo. Castro led off with a solo home run, and Garcia's fielding error on Barnes' single allowed two runs to score. Rienzo allowed seven runs (five earned) on nine hits in six innings with two wild pitches."He wasn't as sharp as he's been earlier by any means," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "It's one of those that you just chalk it up to a bad night."
Game notes
White Sox OF Garcia returned to the lineup Monday after leaving Sunday's game during the fourth inning against Texas. Garcia collided with the right-field fence on Jeff Baker's two-run homer and was removed from the game after getting checked out by a White Sox trainer and manager Robin Ventura. Garcia said he felt better Monday. Ventura explained that Garcia came out of Sunday's game because of a dehydration issue and it was not concussion related. ... One day after getting ejected by crew chief Jerry Layne while exchanging the pregame lineup card, White Sox bench coach Mark Parent admitted he "pretty much knew" he would be ejected for his comments. Parent, whose ejection was his second of the season and third of his career, did not reveal what he said to Lane but acknowledged it stemmed from Saturday's game against Texas. ... RHP Paul Clemens (4-4, 6.36 ERA) will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Tuesday's game. The Astros will announce a corresponding move. . Astros manager Bo Porter said he would "have to wait for the evaluation" by team doctors before knowing more about the status of C Max Stassi, on the seven-day concussion disabled list, retroactive to Aug. 23. ... Astros OF Robbie Grossman's two-out double in the fourth inning Monday extended his hitting streak to a career-high 13 games.

China has set up an ambitious non-fossil fuel target of 30% of electricity generation by the end of 2015, including major investments in wind power. China passed the U.S. in 2010 to become the world's number one market for wind power, and had approximately 62GW capacity installation by end of 2011. According to China's 12th Five-Year Plan, the country aims to increase wind capacity to 100GW by end of 2015. The growing renewable energy revolution in China is on pace to undercut the aggressive Chinese coal demand projections upon which U.S. export hopefuls are counting.

The Lakeside Blog springs forth from the creative mind of Michelle Bruck at the Interlaken Inn, Lakeville, CT. She writes about events, great places to visit and cool things to do – in and around Lakeville & Salisbury Connecticut.

Lake Cottage Hideaway
One of my very favorite accommodations at the Interlaken is opening for the season next week - the Lakeside Cottage.
You check in at the main property just like all other Guests. You are given a key card - and then directions to leave the property. No worries - we send you just past a couple of driveways and then you take your left. This left takes you on a dirt road through shady trees for about a 1/4 mile. Then, your destination is ahead. The sky opens up and you have a beautiful view of the lake with this sweet little cottage nestled right against it. Private. Secluded. Your secret hideaway!
This peaceful setting will force you to relax and listen to the beautiful sounds of nature.
Canoe. Kayak. Swim. Fish. Nap. Enjoy private time with your family. And at anytime you can drive (or walk) back to the main property to dine with us and take advantage of all our property amenities.
Those that have stayed in the cabin love it just as much as I do. Here's what one Guest wrote on Tripadvisor last year:
"One of the best places I have ever stayed at"
We stayed in the Lakeside Cottage. The cottage was immaculate, peaceful and ideal for a getaway. Interlaken provides everything you need, down to the graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate bars for S'mores on the bbq that they provided the charcoal and lighter fluid for. I didn't have to think about except relaxing and enjoying time with my fiance. And they are pet-friendly too. The price was great for the service and attention that we got. I will be back at least 2 - 3 times every year. Room Tip: Lakeside cottage. private, romantic, immaculately clean.
There are still some great dates available in May and June, so click here for more details!
Interlaken Earth
This is the Earth at Interlaken.
Every day is Earth Day!
As Earth Day approaches this weekend, Interlaken is already celebrating. In fact, we celebrate all year long! Being one of the first hotels in the State of Connecticut to become a Certified Green Lodging Property (and the only one in the Northwest Corner), Interlaken Inn Staff is proud to work in an earth friendly environment!
- Recycle bins are in each Guestroom, as well as large recycling units around the property
- Installation of an ozone machine in our laundry room to guarantee that our towels and sheets achieve the whitest and safest clean technology without throwing harsh chemicals into the earth
- Use of an in-room House TV Channel describing our amenities and the local area (no paper use)
- Our Chefs continue to add food scraps (such as from fruits and veggies) to our composting bins. The organic matter is then used in the raised herb beds that will grace your plate in Morgan's restaurant
- New plantings from Salisbury Garden Center are low maintenance, hardy and of native varieties. The gardens around the property are populated with grasses and perenniels, and annuals that require significant water and fertilizer are limited
- The amenities in our Guestrooms come in Biodegradable bottles
- Use of green cleaning products in all Guestrooms and public areas
- All rooms have 2.0 GPM (gallons per minute) aerators on bathroom sink faucets
- Purchase at least 20% of food from local farmers (in season) for Morgan's, such as Skyfarms greens and lettuce, Fleisher organic meats, fruits and veggies from Mr. Church, among many others
- Automatic light sensor shut-offs for meeting rooms and office space
- Participation in the Clean the World program, where remaining soap bars from Guestrooms are collected, recycled and redistributed to poverish countries around the globe.
We will continue on with our mission for 2012 and send a big thank you to all Interlaken Guests who also support the preservation of our natural resources!
Truly an Interlaken "Guest" Blogger
Taste of Spring - again!
I may be pushing the new Spring menu a bit much, but really, each time I try a new dish I just have to share with you just how amazing it is! Here is today's creation - sorry it is blurry!
Grilled Organic Salmon, Marinated Leeks and Cucumbers, Garden Chervil, Yogurt Sauce
So let me start by saying I don't even like salmon, but let me tell you how much I love this dish. The salmon melted in my mouth, so tender. The leeks and cucumbers were the perfect compliment, dipped in the yogurt sauce. I felt so clean and healthy after this meal - I felt like going for a run!
It sure makes a difference when the right people take the time to create a dish using the right products. You can always count on the Chef's in Morgan's to do so!
A new tasty treat in Morgan's Restaurant
The Chef's in Morgan's restaurant are at it again, making delicious changes on the menu. Now, this one isn't actually on the menu, but it is something you will enjoy when you order one of the many fresh and creative entrees: Cottage Cheese Dill Rolls. Everyone loves to snack on a little something before the meal comes, and these little guys are the perfect item. So light, so delicious, so buttery - trust me, you will love them! I ate them so quickly I didn't even have time to stop and take a picture. Dine in Morgan's and you can taste them for yourself!
Lime Rock Racers are Back!
Another official sign of Spring at the Interlaken and at Lime Rock Park are the return of the Racers! The owner of this beautiful Nissan GT-R has been staying at the Inn for over 35 years and visits the track quite often during the racing season, which means he visits Interlaken quite often as well. We love having you stay with us, Len! As the racing season gets further under way, there will be more beauties like this gracing our parking lot, so be sure to take a few minutes and check them out!
Spring Dinner Menu in Morgan's
As the local ingredients of Spring become available, the new menu at Morgan's will be updated and changed regularly. As I was changing the menu on the Morgan's dining webpage, I was trying to decide which one I would choose if I had the fortunate chance to dine in Morgan's. My chance came true this evening and my choices were down to the following:
Homemade Gnocchi, Wild Black Trumpet Mushrooms, Spring Sweet Peas, Roasted Garlic
Block Island Wild Striped Bass with Artichokes, Baby Spinach, Black Olive Tapanade
And the winner is:
Oh my goodness - so delicious, so healthy - just how I want my meals to be. The artichokes are beyond yummy, the sea bass is tender and so flavorful with the black olive tapanade - I think I made the perfect choice this evening!
Click here to see the full Spring menu! Bon Appetit!

Rated 3 out of 5 by BizzyBuyer Needs tapered shaping Bought this in grey a year ago but had to get leather scraps from hobby shop to reshape the end that feeds through belt loops. Husband strongly disliked the squared off edge that caught on belt loops. It was strange that the grey belt was trimmed with brown leather. Black would make more sense. Not many grey belts available & it looks like they discontinued their grey color. Too bad. June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HowP web belt These were nice colored elastic belts. But, they are made about 4" longer than normal belt sizes. Then allow for stretch after wearing them for awhile. The tip of the belt is the same size as normal belt loops and is difficult to thread through the belt itself. December 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by unclebob9546 good I have a 36 inch waist so I ordered a size 36 belt and the belt is not well sized it is a good bit longer than it should be. November 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BrianCherry Great Belt! Great belt. I bought several different colors of this belt. I've used the black belt in my black ski pants when working as a ski instructor, and it is perfect because of the stretch and flexibility that it provides. (I wish there was a blue belt to match our new ski instructor uniforms for this season.) For the same reason, it's also a great belt for holiday meals such as Thanksgiving where after meal belt stretching is a good thing. I also like the fact that it doesn't have any fixed holes and is therefore infinitely adjustable. November 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by BIGDAD poor quality control I ordered 3 belts same size. Three different lengths received...4 inches difference. Leather end tip too wide for leather loop October 3, 2013

ORHS freshmen try to change the world Power of One Projects tackle host of topics
Tuesday, June 3, 2014
DURHAM — Oyster River High School's freshman class gathered on Thursday evening to present their Power of One Projects, where they worked to help solve a worldwide issues about which they feel passionate.
With the help of donations made on a www.gofundme.com webpage and a bake sale, Madison raised $1,570 for Snowball Express.
Moses Scrout decided to work with the Blue Ocean Society after one of his classes.
"I decided to do water pollution because I learned about it in my biology class," he said.
After members of the Blue Ocean Society spoke to Moses' class, he decided to take an active role in eliminating ocean pollution.
"I asked people to go to Hampton Beach to clean up a portion of the beach. All together we got 65 pounds of trash," he said.
In all, approximately 160 freshmen raised $24,756 for a variety of causes in 12 weeks.
Matthew Pappas, a freshman social studies teacher, explained that many of the topics his class covers can give the students a negative view of the world, as they often discuss genocide, famine and war.
"This is way to end the year on a positive note and make a difference," he said.
