How is this desperate?
I'm with you. If this is "desperate," then so is every other discounted product ever. Desperation abounds, apparently. I don't get this shit. MS launches X1 with Kinect for $500, people whine that they don't need/want the Kinect and that it costs too much. MS sells cheaper, Kinect-less X1s, people whine that they aren't getting the full system. MS throws in a free game and cuts the price for the holidays, people whine that it's proof Microsoft is "desperate". Well, what the f*** do you want, then? Maybe this is all just PS4 fanboy bullshit or something from folks "desperate" to have any first-party game worth buying this Fall, or maybe it's from PC elitists who get their jollies crapping on consoles so they can try to justify having to buy new hardware every year to even be able to run new games; I don't know. Regardless, it's beyond tiresome.
Consumers are winning the shit out of this, yet they apparently remain offended. How fucking entitled can you get? Here's a system selling for essentially $150 less (likely more, depending on Black Friday deals) a year from its release date. And didn't people laud Sony for a $100 price cut on the PS3 (which, BTW, still was going for $399/$499 at this point seven fucking years ago)? I guess since it's Microsoft, this is a bad thing? It's a company strongly backing a product by literally putting their money where their mouth is, and the result is a freaking steal. And even if you're a PS4 guy, MS pricing this aggressively for the holidays probably has a net result of Sony being forced to throw you a bone in response or put their sales lead in this console cycle at serious risk. Competition benefits everyone. I don't understand all the outrage here. At all.
The general lack of business acumen and common sense is astounding sometimes.
I don't think anyone is legit outraged. I think it's all just massive schadenfreude. The price cut is obviously great for the marketplace and there's zero reason to complain. But I think the initial reveal of the One with the strong TV and Kinect focus put a lot of people off and now they just love seeing Microsoft stumble out of spite. I have to admit I did kind of enjoy seeing Microsoft eat it and flop so hard after launch. They are desperate and that desperation can also be kind of funny, but it's also a win for consumers. Very curious to see if this will swing things back for them.
I think schadenfreude is right. Xbox 360 was the leader last generation, which led them to be able to take advantage of the consumer like paid wall netflix. When Sony was stumbling with the PS3, people had the same schadenfreude because they got knocked off their PS2 pedestal. Sony was where MS is now, when the PS3 launched it was super expensive and their messaging was tough shit we know we're number 1. When the 360 took the lead, PS3 had to play catch up and offer better perks.

I would have given this branch of starbucks a good rating but the only thing that stopped was that its a little bit too small inside the shop and most of the chairs and tables are outside. Other than, its the usual starbucks coffee....very good.
I like the location of this Starbucks. There are actually three in MOA but I like this best. The servers are friendlier. You also get to people watch coz it's just beside Manila Bay, so there's always a lot of people. But that's also the downside. It's hard to get a seat here.
I start all my Starbucks reviews like this – the food and drink is all the same - that's why I go there! As such, I will only mention the quality of the food and drink if it is unusually good or bad. Generally, my review will focus on the atmosphere, location, layout and staff quality.
Located on the water...
what i do not like is the sight of people slouching on their chairs chatting on their laptops as if they own the place. Got well-blended frappes and their sandwiches are also great. not for the budget-conscious though coz a cup of coffee can also afford you to buy a fastfood meal.
The location is a comfortable distance from the mall's department store area. When you're tired of walking the big mall, you can comfortably sit down with friends here to enjoy a great cup of coffee while catching your breath.

New York Transit Strike's Fifth Anniversary.
Monday, December 20, 2010
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) It was a colder day than it is today. I'd hardly slept -- waiting as I was, for word of whether there would be a transit strike. Negotiations went up to midnight, and then beyond. I was quite sure there wouldn't be a vote to strike. How could there be? And then there was. The trains and buses -- hundreds and hundreds of miles of them, had stopped. Stations were locked.
My assignment: cover the Mayor, then, as now, Michael R. Bloomberg. So sometime before 5 a.m. I was up, and out, pulling on the layers. I rode my bike on dark streets over to the Brooklyn Bridge, looking to lock it up before crossing the East River into Manhattan. This was pre-PlaNYC, and there were almost no bike paths. No one but messengers and the insanely devoted rode bikes on New York City streets in those days. Especially not when it was 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside.
Before I had to a chance to lock up my bike at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Mayor and his entourage were upon me. This was no Ed Koch-like stroll, asking New Yorkers how they were doing. It was a grim, unsmiling forced march. Between my bike and my recording equipment I could hardly keep up. At one point, my bike toppled over. "Can't you do something about that, miss?" the Mayor snapped. He was not a happy man. The thermometer as we crossed the bridge hovered in the teens.
As the day wore on, cars, trucks and buses crammed the streets. Passengers negotiated to share cabs, or hitched rides over the bridges, but the traffic hardly moved. Most normal days, we complain about the transit system. On this one, we realized, how, without it, the city would stop. It practically did.
The Mayor's fury boiled over at several points during the three-day strike. He won punishing fines against the Transport Workers Union. The sub-freezing temperatures did not abate. I biked from our offices in Lower Manhattan to downtown Brooklyn, where the court cases were being heard.
By day three I was dreading all the clothing I had to wear, and the 5 a.m. calls from our assignment desk. I was cratering, and so was the city. And then, just when I was sure another day would break me, the strike ended. The transit system -- dirty, crammed with delays, stuffed with people, the source of tsuris every day -- up and running again, seemed like the train from heaven.
Matching Money Announced for Calif. High Speed Rail Construction
Monday, December 20, 2010
California's High-Speed Rail Authority approved matching funds to the latest round of federal money the state has received. That means the state will match the $616 million slated for California after Ohio and Wisconsin turned it down. With the new federal money and now matching funds, California has $5.5 billion available to begin construction on the high-speed rail project to connect Los Angeles with San Fransisco.
Here's the full press release from California High-Speed Rail Authority:
SACRAMENTO – Moving quickly to take advantage of $616 million in new federal funding, the California High-Speed Rail Authority Board voted unanimously today to approve committing state matching funds to extend construction of the initial Central Valley backbone of the statewide system south to Bakersfield.
The new federal funds – which were redistributed from other states that returned federal high-speed rail support – will now be coupled with state matching dollars, bringing the total available funds to begin construction to $5.5 billion. The new total will allow engineers to significantly extend initial construction, potentially building as many as 120 miles of the project's 520-mile first phase, and incorporate the Valley's largest urban centers: Bakersfield and Fresno.
Mixed Signals for NYC Pedestrians
Monday, December 20, 2010
(New York-- John Keefe, Jim O'Grady, and Brian Zumhagen, WNYC; Alex Goldmark, Transportation Nation)
New Yorkers are famous for crossing streets whenever they feel like it, taking a blasé attitude toward crosswalk signals. But the signs tend to capture the attention of pedestrians when the "walk" and "don't walk" icons are lit up at the same time, which is the case at intersections all over the city.
At the corner of Spring and Greene Streets in SoHo, the orange "don't walk" hand is illuminated. But so is the "walking man" icon. Latonya Turner and her husband Otis are visiting from Arkansas. What would they have done if they'd been left to their own devices?
"We probably would have stood here and thought, 'Okay, what do we do?'" "I guess you have a choice then, you can either walk or not walk," Otis said.
"I guess you can just take your chances," Latonya added, laughing.

Houston METRO Cancels Controversial Contract With Spanish Rail Car Company
Friday, December 17, 2010
(Houston -- Wendy Siegle, KUHF News) METRO's board has approved a deal to terminate its controversial contract with a Spanish rail car company. The settlement means METRO is moving closer to negotiating a much-needed federal grant for the construction of two light rail lines.
Earlier this year the Federal Transit Administration ruled that METRO, under the previous leadership, broke "Buy America" rules when it awarded two light rail contracts to Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF), a Spanish-owned rail car vendor.
The violation put $900 million dollars in FTA grants for a rail expansion on hold. METRO president and CEO George Greanias says, by canceling the contract with CAF, METRO has a better chance of securing the funds. "This meets a very important requirement the FTA put on us if we were going to move forward on the full funding grant agreement," Greanias said.
Listen to the story here.
METRO had already sunk $41 million dollars into the construction of the rail cars before the Spanish company was told to stop work. Under the agreement CAF will pay back $14 million dollars of that to METRO. The agreement stipulates that CAF will forfeit any additional payments for unpaid work and lost profits.
Greanias says METRO plans to rebid the light rail contract in January. CAF USA, a subsidiary of the Spanish company, will be able eligible to participate in the re-procurement process. Greanias says CAF USA will be treated like every other bidder. "We're being very careful in putting together the re-procurement request that we have a very level playing field," Greanias notes. "And we have the Federal Transit Administration working with us to make sure that what we do creates a level playing field."
As for the $900 million in federal funding, Greanias says he expects to get a definitive answer from the FTA in June or July. He's confident METRO will receive the funding, but stresses that if it doesn't, the agency has a backup plan to keep the rail expansion moving.
"If for some reason the full funding grant agreements did not come through we'd have more than sufficient local funds to do exactly what the fall back alternative says, which is to complete the East End line, bringing it across Main, and cleaning up the streets—getting everything back in better shape than we found it when we started—and being prepared to extend the other lines as money comes available."
Greanias says he doesn't anticipate any problems in qualifying for the grant as long as METRO continues to comply with the FTA.
NYC is Raising Parking Meter Rates to Close Budget Gap
Friday, December 17, 2010
(Alex Goldmark, Transportation Nation) It will be more expensive to park in New York City next month. The Department of Transportation announced parking meter prices will increase around the city.
The rates for Manhattan below 86th street—the most congested part of the city—are set to go from $2.50 per hour to $3 per hour. Throughout the rest of the city, where it costs 25 cents for 20 minutes, or 75 cents an hour, a quarter will now buy you just 15 minutes.
The fee raise is part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's deficit reduction plan. It is scheduled to begin on January 3.
Needless to say, this isn't pleasing city motorists, along with some of their elected representatives. The Queens Courier reports on outer borough ire at the move, while Council members James Vacca, chair of the Transportation Committee, and Diana Reyna are planning to introduce legislation to restrict the city's ability to increase meter rates.
Vacca's office says the Council has the authority to regulate how the city manages parking meters. They want to cap any increase at a 25 percent per five years.
Two years ago, the City raised meter rates from 50 cents to 75 cents per hour in the outer boroughs. Under the Vacca-Reyna plan, that would prevent this new increase. They have yet to back their proposal with legislation so, for now, if you park in New York, be ready to keep a few more coins in your car.
The $128 Million Question: Where's the ARC Tunnel Letter?
Friday, December 17, 2010
(New York - Jim O'Grady, WNYC) New Jersey Governor Chris Christie stood up at a press conference on Thursday morning at the state house in Trenton and uttered what could have been a $128 million phrase.
"The offer was a nice start," he said.
He was referring to a letter from federal Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood that offered a rebate in the above amount against a $271 million charge the feds have presented the state for preliminary work on the cancelled ARC rail tunnel under the Hudson.
Christie killed the project in October because of projected cost overruns. LaHood, in the letter, proposed to give the state $128 million back for projects that improve air quality by cutting traffic congestion. But only if New Jersey pays the whole bill by December 24.
The governor's positive reaction on Thursday was a reversal of sorts. The prior two days, he'd refused to acknowledge the potential deal because the letter that contained it, dated Tuesday, hadn't been sent to him. Instead, it was addressed to New Jersey Senators Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg. By Wednesday evening, though the offer had been widely reported, Governor Christie's spokesman Michael Drewniak insisted it still hadn't reached the state house.
"Neither the Governor's Office or New Jersey Transit has heard from Secretary LaHood," said Drewniak in a statement. "If and when we are contacted by the secretary, we will review their proposal."
The disconnect may have had something to do with testy public relations between the Republican Christie and the Democrat Lautenberg.

Houston's Escalating Traffic Woes: Study Says Commute is Third Worst in America
Thursday, December 16, 2010
(Houston, TX -- Wendy Siegle, KUHF) Earlier this year we learned that Houston has five of the top ten most congested roads in Texas. Now, Houston's been given the title of third worst place to commute in America.
Bundle.com and reporters at TheStreet.com compared data to come up with the rankings. The study factored in travel time, hours wasted in traffic, and car expenses like gas and vehicle maintenance. Alan Clark is the manager of Transportation Planning at the Houston-Galveston Area Council. He says more and more people are transplanting themselves in Houston every day, making it nearly impossible for the infrastructure to catch up. Clark points out that growth in job activity, in population, and in travel, "far outstrips the increases in new roads and expansion of existing roads to carry that traffic."
Hear the story over at KUHF News.
Clark offers a pretty bleak outlook for Houston commuters . With funding options limited, he says there's not a lot of cash for transportation projects. "The resources for improving our road system continue to decline, and are expected to decline further in the next ten years, says Clark. "We've really been spending a lot of time prioritizing the dollars that are available," he says.
Clark says some of the money is going into transit alternatives, like vanpools, carpools, and public transportation. H-GAC is also working with employers who can provide compressed work weeks or tele-working from home. Clark hopes all of these things will reduce the number of cars on the roads.
Still, if current projections hold true, you may have to leave earlier to get to work on time. Clark puts the problem in perspective this way: "Today, let's say that you're able to get to work in about 40 minutes; in the future that travel to work might take more than an hour.
Of the 90 American cities studied, Houston came in at 88. We're better off than our northern neighbor though–Dallas came in dead last.
Hertz Offers All-Electric Rental Cars
Thursday, December 16, 2010
(Alex Goldmark, Transportation Nation) The fledgling electric vehicle market got a little boost yesterday, when Hertz Connect began renting all-electric cars.
The rental car giant is starting small, with just five Smart Electric Drives in New York City. "That's all we could get our hands on right now," says Rich Broome, a Hertz Senior Vice President. But he says, the company is committed to ramping up to 1,000 electric vehicles nationally—including plug-in hybrids—by the end of 2011. Other cities slated to get the rental EVs are Washington, D.C., San Fransisco and select college campuses.
The move is good news for EVs, even if it isn't totally new. The first generation of electric cars, like the original electric Toyota Rav4, were available for rent at major rental car companies in the late 1990s before carmakers backtracked on production of the vehicles. Zipcar currently offers plug-in Toyota Priuses as part of a pilot program in partnership with the city of San Fransisco. Zipcar tells Transportation Nation they've been renting alternative-fuel vehicles and hybrids since 2003, and they "welcome Hertz to the space." Zipcar does not offer an all-electric vehicle currently for rent to its members.
Titan of D.C. Transit Abruptly Resigns
Thursday, December 16, 2010
(Washington D.C. - David Schultz, WAMU) In news that has come as a shock to many—especially myself—Chris Zimmerman announced this morning that he will be stepping down from the Board of Directors of Washington D.C.'s Metro system at the end of this year.
Zimmerman had served on the Board for more than a decade, and he had been instrumental in guiding Metro through the darkest period of its 34 year existence. Over the past 18 months, Metro has faced multiple budget crises, a rapidly crumbling infrastructure, federal condemnation and a train collision that killed eight of its passengers. Zimmerman, whose main job is as a local politician in Arlington, Va., was there through it all, rarely—if ever—missing a Board meeting.
Before I joined WAMU, I reported for a weekly newspaper in Arlington, so I got to know Zimmerman fairly well. And I can say definitively that he lives and breathes transportation. His influence in the D.C. region far exceeds that of his job title, as he sits on no fewer than four regional transportation bodies. (Although, after today, that number is reduced by one.)
Zimmerman has become something of a boogeyman for the pro-roads set in Northern Virginia. Many believe he is the man pulling the strings behind Arlington's efforts to block the expansion of several major highways that lead in and out of the District. But he is also a hero to the burgeoning transit-oriented anti-sprawl community in D.C.
We will continue to follow this story and watch to see if other changes are coming to Metro's leadership.
MTA's 2011 Budget Is In The Black--Just Barely
Thursday, December 16, 2010
(New York -- Jim O'Grady, WNYC) The New York City MTA passed a spending plan for 2011 that erases the $900 million deficit officials had projected earlier this year. But authority chairman Jay Walder warns the budget is just barely in the black.
"It is an extremely tight budget for the MTA," he said at yesterday's board meeting. "We're running an incredibly complex, multi-billion dollar company with essentially no margin."
The $12 billion budget has only an $8 million dollar cushion--less than a tenth of one percent of the total.
The agency says it filled the gap by laying off 1,000 workers and cutting bus and train service back in June. Those savings will continue to this year. And the December 30th fare hikes will kick in more than $400 million.
TN Moving Stories: New Yorkers Face Long Commutes, More DC Residents Are Taking Public Transit, And How To Modernize Air Traffic Control
Thursday, December 16, 2010
Census data, commuter edition: More DC residents are using abandoning their cars and taking public transit to work. "Only New Yorkers take the subway to work more than Washingtonians do." (Washington Post)
Meanwhile, four of New York City's five boroughs logged the nation's longest average commute times to work (New York Post). The country's worst commute continues to belong to Staten Island, where residents spend 42.5 minutes each way traveling to work (Staten Island Live). But remember, New Yorkers --commutes cost less in NYC.
The blog Ride The City published data about more than 600,000 NYC bike rides planned on their site since April 2009. Median ride length: a little over 4 miles. And: 85% of all rides started or ended in just 7% of census blocks.

NJ Governor Mum About Feds' Offer to Cut $271 Million ARC Bill Nearly in Half
Wednesday, December 15, 2010
(New York -- Jim O'Grady, WNYC) New Jersey could be off the hook for almost half the $271 million the federal government says it owes for scrapping a rail tunnel under the Hudson after work had been started.
The U.S. Department of Transportation says it will give the state $128 million back for projects that improve air quality by cutting traffic congestion. But only if New Jersey pays the whole bill by December 24.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood released a letter containing the offer. A spokesman for Governor Christie said he had no comment on it because the department hasn't contacted him.
Governor Christie halted the $8.7 billion ARC tunnel project in October because of potential cost overruns. The decision has been controversial. New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg, for one, repeatedly decries it as "disastrous."
Lautenberg took credit on Wednesday, along with fellow New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez, for brokering the rebate offer from Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. A press release from Lautenberg claimed that, "The Senator has been working quietly with DOT on reducing New Jersey's burden since the project was killed."
Now the Christie administration must decide if half a loaf is enough to end its scrap with the feds. Earlier this month, the governor directed New Jersey Transit—the state agency overseeing the project—to hire well-connected DC law firm Patton Boggs at $485 an hour to fight the tab from LaHood, which is for preliminary work on the ARC tunnel.
James Weinstein, executive director of New Jersey Transit, stood before reporters after a recent board meeting at the agency and contended the federal government was wrong to ask for money it spent in collaboration with the state.
"This isn't like they sent us a check for $270 million and then walked away and let us spend it," Weinstein said of the U.S. DOT. "They were a participant in everything we did, every day, every minute, every hour."
If the Christie administration sticks to that position, it could be that the Transportation Secretary just made an offer that can be refused.
Feds to NJ: Okay, We'll Credit You $128 Million For ARC Tunnel
Wednesday, December 15, 2010
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - The U.S. Transportation Department tells New Jersey it will be credited nearly half the $271 million it owes the federal government for a scrapped NY-NJ rail tunnel if it pays back all it owes.
New Jersey got the tunnel tab for money already spent after Gov. Chris Christie abandoned the $8.7 billion project because of potential cost overruns.
The bill is due Dec. 24.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg has been negotiating with federal transit authorities to get the bill reduced. Christie approved the hiring of a Washington law firm to fight it.
A Dec. 14 letter confirming that $128 million would be credited to a congestion mitigation account after New Jersey repays the debt was signed by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. The Associated Press has obtained a copy of the letter.
Officials Say Rescues Completed In Ontario Highway Emergency
Wednesday, December 15, 2010
(Detroit -- Pat Batcheller, WDET) Emergency officials in Ontario say they believe everyone who was stuck in deep snow on Highway 402 has been rescued. Blinding lake effect snow and strong winds off of Lake Huron have closed the highway between Sarnia and London, Ontario. The Blue Water Bridge, which carries traffic between Sarnia and Port Huron, Michigan, is closed to commercial traffic.
More than 300 people became stranded on the highway Monday after a massive winter storm dumped almost two feet of snow and ice along a stretch of 402 between London and Sarnia. The weather made plowing all but impossible, leaving motorists to fend for themselves overnight in sub-zero temperatures — many without food, water or warm clothing. The National Post reported that in some areas, snow drifts reached as high as five feet.
Larry Gordon, the news director at Blackburn Radio in Sarnia, says the Canadian military used helicopters to reach motorists--some of whom were stuck for more than 24 hours. "They are actually landing at various locations along that usually busy highway," he said," "and taking those people to their first meals in over a day and warm and dry conditions at a number of warming centers that have been set up around the community."
Environment Canada is forecasting snow squalls through Wednesday for counties near Lake Huron.
The closure of the Blue Water Bridge is forcing trade to be re-routed through Detroit. Many of the trucks that normally cross there are being diverted to the Ambassador Bridge, causing heavy traffic on I-75 in Southwest Detroit.

Despite Controversy, SF Supes Vote to Study Congestion Pricing
Tuesday, December 14, 2010
(San Francisco–Casey Miner, KALW News) It's a controversial plan, but the city of San Francisco is pushing ahead anyway: this morning, the board of supervisors voted to continue studying several options for congestion pricing cordons in the northeast corner of the city. The options include a $3 toll to enter and leave the cordoned area during especially busy times; alternatively, commuters who parked downtown all day would pay a $6 toll upon leaving. A third option, which would have charged drivers to enter the city from the south, was scrapped after politicians from Peninsula city councilmen to a state Assemblyman threatened a counter-toll. Don't hold your breath, though – the earliest anyone will pay to drive into the Financial District is 2015.
I interviewed Matthew Roth of Streetsblog SF about why it's so controversial to price driving; hear our conversation over at KALW News.
Cars Gone: Vehicle Rapture or Minnesota Snow Reef?

I've been wanting to do some video blogging for a while. Recently, I was hanging out in an office building in Santa Cruz. I walked around and asked people about their computer usage. Here are the results!
People often ask us why it is that they can only get Splashtop as pre-installed software on new PCs, but cannot download it onto their old computer. While some of this has to do with business issues, I want to cover the technical side.
Much of our engineering is dedicated to making Splashtop start up in seconds. After all, this is what people love about Splashtop. It turns out that to do a good job at starting up, you need to do many optimizations for the particular hardware that you run on. Here is an example:

Matthew Ritchie: Remanence
Presented by Institute of Contemporary Art /Boston (ICA) at Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston
June 26, 2014 - March 31, 2015
Ritchie's contribution to the Sandra and Gerald Fineberg Art Wall will continue his exploration of the possibilities, limitations, and collaborative capabilities of various media. Here, painting escapes its traditional confines both dimensionally—by extending across the art wall to the adjacent bay of windows—as well as materially—through the inclusion of sound. The imagery, like the Dewey Square mural, will be composed of dark, gestural and diagrammatic lines on a pale background. The drawing on the wall will become more and more colorful as it reaches the windows, where the drawing will erupt with complexity and color.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Bayview Bar Harbor
Top Quality--Made our vacation memorable
My family stayed at this beautiful inn during the summer. We knew we were in for a treat when we were warmly welcomed at the door. To our surprise, we were greeted by our name before even registering. An inn employee saw our license plate, knew what state we were arriving from and welcomed us. The inn is set off the main road and is immaculately maintained. We were escorted to our room and were pleasantly surprised by its size, cleanliness, and the little touches it had. The view was beautiful--very close to the water. Morning breakfast is so enjoyable sitting out on the open deck or you can choose to eat inside. Have a craving for scrambled eggs, just ask and you may be pleasantly surprised to see your craving satisfied. Each morning the CAT ferry leaves for Nova Scotia. We loved seeing the ferry departing and arriving each day. If you have time for an excursion to Nova Scotia for the day, this is an excellent location.You can easily walk or drive if you prefer, to the terminal. Our children loved the often warm homemade cookies and the friendliness of the staff. You will find service here top quality with friendly, courteous staff who genuinely want you to have a wonderful vacation. You will not forget your stay here. One evening, after a long day at Acadia, my husband went down to the bar for a glass of wine for each of us. When he returned, he also had a plate of cheeses complimentary from the bar tender. These little extras really do make a difference. I would also reccommend using the shuttle. On our first day,Alan, the driver gave us a little tour of Bar Harbor since we had not been here before. He also gave us his card and said when we were ready to return to the Inn to show the card to any restaurant and they would call the inn for us. Each time they did and each time the driver arrived within fifteen to twenty minutes. You may also want to walk back to the Inn to see more of the homes and harbor--very safe.
As for Bar Harbor, I would recommend Rupunnunis and Quarterdeck for dinner. If you plan on taking a whalewatch excursion which we did, keep in mind it's very cold out in the open ocean. Inland the temperature was in the 80's however out on the open water the temperature drops to the 40's. We were forewarned and took extra sweatshirts, jackets, and gloves. Yes, i did say gloves and we used them. Although, we saw no whales the day we were out it was still a memorable day. One thing we weren't told, although it may be beautiful inland, it can be extremely foggy out to sea which it was for us. If you're deciding that day, take notice of how clear the skies our out in the distant harbor. In Acadia, don't miss the Jordan Pond Restaurant and popovers in the afternoon. You can enjoy these out on the lawn overlooking the pond and afterwards take in a hike around the pond or hop on your bike for a carriage ride. Don't ignore the Southwest Harbor area, near Seawell and Bernard, our children loved tidepooling here and enjoyed sitting out on the rocks. These harbors are quaint and have lobster shacks where lobsters are picked, cooked and eaten immediately.
If you're driving, don't miss Camden and Rockport. Rockland also plays host to the annual lobster festival usually the beginning of August. Check their website as one day of that week they offer free admission. Also, I would recommend stopping in Kennebunkport. There are many quaint beaches--want to go home with a sand dollar, head to Goose Rocks Beach early for a special remembrance of the area or for kayaking. Also home to the Bush family, our children thought it was neat to see the Bush compound. We would reccomend Allison's restaurant in downtown Kennebunkport for dinner. Downstairs can be noisy so ask for a table upstairs if you prefer a more quiet dinner.
Enjoy your stay in Maine --it's a beautiful state with much to see and do!!!!!!
Fondest memories ever!
We chose the Bayview based on the TripAdvisor ratings. It was superb! From the wonderful shaded driveway to the beautifully appointed breakfast room to the large, waterfront room we had, to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, the experience was wonderful. They always have fresh homemade cookies and brownies in the late afternnon at the front desk. One day when we going to Sand beach in Acadia, the desk clerk reached behind the desk and gave our 4 year old a plastic shovel and bucket - he loved it! (They keep a supply for familes heading out to the beach). We loved the breakfast bufffet each morning with the bay view on the terrace. The food was different every day, well prepared with great patries (Try the chocolate chip pumpkin muffins). Every guest we met at the hotel was friendly, the atmoshere and common dining area seem to encourage people to share their experiences. Our room was immaculate, furniture was beautiful, and even the soaps were memorable (the nice housekeeping staff gave us extra as we were leaving). The only downside is that the hotel is close to the CAT ferry that goes to Nova Scotia each day - so be warned that a loud ship blast will go sound every morning around 9AM. Not a problem for us with a 4 year old. There is a small pool and deck area that we used every day - great bay views again. The hotel is only 2 minutes from Bar Harbor but far enough so there is no noise. The Bayview does have a shuttle that will take you there although we were always able to find parking in Bar Harbor with a little effort. In 17 years of taking vacations from Florida to Paris to Hawaii, this hotel is one of our favorites, don't stay anywhere else.
The best! Will definitely stay at Bayview again!
We stayed at the Bayview for three nights while visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia. It was a great place to stay for a variety of reasons. The hotel has a great location. It is close enough to bike or walk to downtown Bar Harbor, and equally close to the entrance to Acadia National Park. The service at the hotel is outstanding (I could tell from the moment I called to book the reservation that it would be) the staff were all friendly and courteous. The room was very spacious and clean and had a fantastic view. All of the rooms have balconies overlooking Frenchman's Bay -- not a distant view, the water is very close. The hotel serves a nice breakfast with a different "main dish" each day. Every day there are cereals, fruit salad, breads, pastries, and juices, and coffee/tea out as an alternative or to supplement the breakfast. In the afternoons the hotel puts out fresh-baked cookies at the front desk. The hotel has a pool (not very large), but guests can use the pools and hot tub at the neigboring hotel. We did not use them, so I can't comment. We appreciated that the hotel has a computer set up (in the bar) that guests can use to access the internet free of charge. We will definitely stay at the Bayview again when we return to Bar Harbor, we will recommend it to others.
Wonderful view from balcony
The bedroom was ENORMOUS and the balcony view lovely.
We loved our stay here. The hotel is set well back from the road and all rooms face the water so it is very peaceful. The breakfast sets you up for the day (we especially liked the porridge. My Scottish husband said that it had been made the correct way!)
The free shuttle service into the town is very useful.
Thoroughly recommended.
After camping for three days, this Hotel was like an oasis of comfort. The housekeeping is perfect, the beds are clean and comfortable, and the whole place smells great! Besides the cookies in the afternoon, they have a great buffet breakfast---which has, poptarts! --among more elegant fare.
The view from the balcony (with three Adirondack style chairs) in our room was great.
I loved this place!
We stayed at the Bayview over the 4th of July weekend. We had spectaular weather and really enjoyed the view from our private deck off our room. The room was spacious and very clean and well kept. Service at the hotel was outstanding. The staff were so friendly and seemed to genuinely care about their guests. The breakfast served each morning was so good. The baked goods were fabulous and the hot entree was delicious. And the plate of cookies that came out each afternoon was to die for. The view I think is the best any hotel in Bar Harbor has to offer. The Bayview is truely a hidden treasure in Bar Harbor. I will definitely go back again.
The Bayview a nice place to stay
My husband and I went up for a weekend getaway and stayed at the bayview. I found the place clean and staff most helpful. Good idea with the shuttle to take you to downtown (don't have to worry about fighting for a parking space).. Breakfast was good also cookies were a nice touch. Would recommend this hotel to friends and would stay here again.
First Rate, Comfortable Hotel
We stayed in one of the townhouses and found it spacious, quiet and comfortable. It had all of the amenities expected, even laundry facilities right in the suite (having come from a 5-day schooner trip right before, this was much appreciated!). The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts and afternoon cookies were yummy. Our only complaint was that the TVs were too small but, as we did not spend much time in our room, it was not a big issue. We would stay at the Bayview again if we return to Bar Harbor.
The Bayview was First Class!
We found the Bayview to be absolutely first class. The view of Frenchman's Cove from the balcony is simply beautiful, especially if you are up early enough to catch a fabulous sunrise. The rooms are spacious and nicely appointed. The staff is extremely pleasant and very helpful. The hotel provides a wonderful hearty breakfast, if that is what you wish, or has the more traditional continental fare for those who prefer something lighter. This rather secluded hotel is convenient to Bar Harbor, but distant enough to not be plagued by hordes of tourists, parking dilemmas and noice. We would come back again in a heart beat.
we have been going to the bayview at least once yearly for the past five years. it is outstanding in all aspects-very large rooms, directly on the water, great continental plus breakfasts. the best is the staff-friendly, courteous, not at all stuffy. new jersey's condemnation aside, management and staff here are quite competent and professional-i'm in the business. jersey can go home or stay elsewhere, we're not leaving the bayview.

Travel Blogs from Bar Harbor
Encounters of the Maine kind
Waking up after a night of continuous rain, we quickly made our wet, bedraggled way to Bar Harbour ignoring the threatening clouds along the way. The marine sun blessed us with some warmth and we had a great wander through the shops of this cute coastal town that is all set up for the cruise ship crowd. Stella was welcomed everywhere and even sat under our table as we ate a delicious lobster roll and lobster Mac and cheese( recently voted by Paula Dean as one of the top 10 in USA). ...

We left (begrudgingly) Keene's Lake and drove to Bar Harbor today. Umm...can you say zoo??
We just grabbed the first spot we came to, another KOA but it was right on the water. Very pretty, but 'Holy Mother of God' crowded!!!

A Glimpse of Acadia National Park

... in that location. We could see all the way down to the small town of Bar Harbour, with boats, sailing ships and even a clipper in full sail dotting the bay. The park is one of the first established in America, and was due to the generous donation of thousands of acres of land from a visionary called George Dorr . It's the former haunt of millionaires such as Rockefeller, Morgan, Astor, Vanderbilt and Carnegie, whose families loved the quiet getaway from big city ...

A stock market delivered from the brink of depression to record highs in four quick years can be a bundle of insecurities. What happens if the central bank stops cosseting us, and how will it pare back its trove of Treasuries as rates rise? Lately, however, such perennial questions are pushed aside by more pressing concerns.
Last week's 1% pullback has revived fears—altogether now—that the Federal Reserve's monetary medicine is losing its oomph. The Fed's still printing gobs of money, but U.S. manufacturing and services are expanding at a slower rate, and new jobs are being created at the sleepiest pace since June. The horrors!
That wasn't our only worry. Stocks peaked in April in each of the past three years before correcting 10% to 19%, so the "sell in May and go away" brigade is already fretting that April is the new May. Yet with stocks up 23% since June, money managers can't afford to fall too far behind surging indexes. Concerns also are mounting that corporate profits aren't growing fast enough. So buyers piled into sectors with more-stable revenues like health care, consumer staples, and utilities, and these have wrested market leadership from the energy and industrial stocks that propelled the rally in January.
Just how crowded have defensive stocks become? The average consumer-staple stock is up over 14% this year, and only two of them— Monster Beverage mnst 1.775490977607073% Monster Beverage Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD140.44 2.45 1.775490977607073% /Date(1427749200227-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 835843 AFTER HOURS USD140.44 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9187 P/E Ratio 54.01538461538462 Market Cap 23460509666.6834 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1231820 More quote details and news » (ticker: MNST), which makes sugary caffeinated energy drinks that Americans now deem a staple, and Whole Foods Market wfm 0.8087810514153668% Whole Foods Market Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD52.35 0.42 0.8087810514153668% /Date(1427749200114-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2177341 AFTER HOURS USD52.35 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 32772 P/E Ratio 32.71875 Market Cap 18734422725.4526 Dividend Yield 0.9933142311365807% Rev. per Employee 167729 More quote details and news » (WFM)—are down this year. The sector now fetches 19.5 times what these companies earned over the past year, its fattest valuation since this bull run began.
Then there're fears the global economy isn't up to snuff. Oil and copper are plumbing 2013 lows, and investors are scampering to markets where weak growth has central banks pledging their staunchest support. Japan, relatively new to quantitative easing, has jumped 55% since June, and too many money managers are hailing the U.S. as the best house in a crumbling world order.
Still, stocks haven't had as much as a 4% blip since November, and concerns and corrections keep markets from overheating. Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners, thinks the U.S. rally has lately been boosted by the ruckus in Cyprus, which persuaded European investors to steer deposits into U.S. stocks. But he thinks the market is due for a pause before bargain hunters eventually prevail.
Already, the lunge at safety has driven the yield on 10-year Treasuries from 2.06% down to 1.70% in less than a month. BofA Merrill Lynch rates strategist Priya Misra advises selling Treasuries when the yield shrinks below 1.75%, since a strengthening labor, housing, and stock market will help offset fiscal austerity.
In each of the past four years, the first quarter's laggard sectors have outperformed in the second. Of course, that all happened as defensive stocks thrived during the market's spring corrections. Can the same now happen with lagging cyclical stocks? The March jobs report didn't help, but data for January and February were revised upward, and aggregate hours worked rose. The housing market's spring selling season has also been delayed by late-winter storms in the Midwest. Cyclical stocks began doubting before the broad market did, and moderating expectations can only help their cause.
REFINER STOCKS HAVE DOUBLED since June, and those looking to take profits had their pick of reasons. The government wants to cut sulfur content in gasoline by 2017, which could cost refiners hundreds of millions. Gasoline prices track Brent crude oil produced abroad, and the hefty premiums these command to the glut of cheap West Texas Intermediate crude produced here has helped U.S. refiners with access to cheaper raw materials. But as Brent crude slipped recently, the Brent-WTI spread has shrunk from $22 a barrel to $11 over the past month.
Last week's 10% refiner-stock correction can worsen if gas demand weakens. But refiners trade at just 7.9 times projected profits, a discount to historical valuations. "The principal drivers of refining-stock performance over the past two years—accelerated return of cash, monetization of secondary assets, and feedstock cost advantages relative to competing global refiners—remain in place," notes Cowen analyst Sam Margolin.
Historically, stricter environmental standards can reduce the supply of refined products and widen the profit spread between raw materials and finished products. Goldman Sachs analyst Arjun Murti thinks prices of midcontinent refiners—his picks include HollyFrontier hfc 3.110773899848255% HollyFrontier Corp.

Gods Will???
I don't know who else is watching Big Brother but I do and I've been pathetically into "it's God Will" this week.
I've lost my (dangerous)Clover iron!!!!!
Picture this...
It's 98 hot degrees. I'm sitting in my sewingroom naked with all the fans blowing and all my finished appliqué pieces ready. I'm trying this fusible interfacing method and I want to iron/attach the centers so I can smooth the edges as I hand sew them. I reached for my tiny iron and it's not there!!!!!!!!!
How can you lose something that has a 3 foot cord dangling from it??????? I can't find it..all day I can't find it.
I finally just slapped down the big iron..never mind the edges...I don't care no more.
Love ya!
At least you haven't lost your sense of humor. A similar thing happened to me. One day I was, as usual, wearing my computer glasses during my piano lesson, and practically as soon as the teacher left, I couldn't find them any more. I have looked everywhere in the succeeding months, but no glasses. (Found some money and some novelty squares that had disappeared, though.)
I hope your wicked little iron turns up.
Watch out for the hot stuff! I was looking all over the house for some software. I thought maybe it was at my mom's house. Still I kept looking. Then would you believe it... I found it with my other software. I had put it where it belongs and couldn't find it. Good grief...
Does anyone else have a "safe place" where they put something so they know they can find it later? I spent quite a lot of time making out a supplies list for a bread class I'm teaching this coming week - then I couldn't find it anywhere. It was tucked in some other papers (printed out patterns or recipes) and I didn't find it until I had wasted even more time making another list. Sheesssssh!
When my time comes, I'm sure they will find my poor spent body under a pile of paper.....
If it's a piece of paper, then it goes under my keyboard, or else on the slanted wooden book holder that lives on the kitchen table.
Hey Bon,
I watch BB and even though I (boo hoo hoo) like Amber as a person (boo hoo hoo) I WISH SHE WAS GONE!!!! Although I don't think she has cried yet this week. The vote should be interesting on Thursday..... I hope Eric stays. Should make things exciting.
Oh Hey! There ain't no mirrors around here!!!!
I even took the one off my mama's antique dresser and gave it to a friend to hang on her wall...which BTW she hasn't done yet!
AND I don't do that unless I'm alone in the house ya know.
DH does but he thinks he's cute..uhuh!
Maybe we've just lived in the woods too long?
This is too funny .... DH would LOVE it if I quilted naked ... Teresa - I keep REALLY important papers I don't want to loose in the kitchen cabinet with my measuring cups -for good measure! It seems to work as long as it's only a FEW important papers!
Hmmmm... I sew in front of a full glass door with a view into the neighbors front yard. Maybe he would be "encouraged" to do some yard work, like clean up all the crap he has lying around if I sewed nekkid!
Bon, have you found the iron yet? My mom would loose crochet hooks and scissors. She would just go out and buy another. You can only imagine how many we found in her home after she died.
I agree with empress. If I quilted naked my husband would interrupt my quilting. Living on 20 acres with neighbors over 1/2 mile away has its advantages. I figure if anyone uses binoculars they have earned it.
Thanks for the laugh
Yes I did find it! I have a very large waste basket full of stuff..ribbons, laces, trims, scraps of velvet.."stuff". I'd shoved it down in there..musta been mad at the thing!
Oh I would never do that with DH around. He'd be such a pest. Besides I'm way too self conscious..I even put the dog outside!!!
Bon, glad God brought the iron back, I really got a kick out of this post, many years ago, I use to lock the door and strip down and mop the floors on my hands and knees. Do do that anymore, can't get up is I get down, plus I would kneel on the girls, lots of southern women use to do that Rene
Oh my! How I have missed you gals this summer! DH was having a bad day and I read him this post and suddenly his day got better. Asked me if I was planning any nakked mopping or quilting! LOL
I might have to plan some nakked quilting, went shopping today at a quilt store that is closing. I was bad, very bad.
