To properly pair one of Sax's specialty cocktails with an entree, simply read the personified cocktail name, then apply logic. For instance, a Miles Davis—Godiva chocolate liqueur, Stoli Razberi, Chambord, and a splash of cream ($8)—would likely fill his trumpet-blowing cheeks with a hearty 10-ounce flatiron steak served aside white-truffle mashed potatoes and veggies ($18). And a Bossa Nova—mixed with 10 different cane rums, limes, simple syrup, and soda ($8)—wouldn't be able to pick a plate because Bossa Nova is a music style, not an autonomous music-legend cocktail. Other entrees include seafood risotto ($18), pasta primavera ($14), and 14-ounce lamb chops served over Mediterranean couscous ($22).
Chiming xylophones echo across Six Olive Lounge's breezy, retro-style interior, where toe-tapping diners peruse a menu rife with upscale fusion fare and specialty cocktails. Tabletop candles illuminate a selection of 10 small plates, including slices of bread slathered in spicy butter and parmesan ($6.95) or six different hand-stuffed olives jabbed on a spear ($2.75). Hunks of rustic bread drift like toasted remnants of Pangaea across the roasted-red-pepper-and-tomato soup ($9.95), warming spoons and souls alongside the sweet-hot-chili fried shrimp ($11.95). Mixologists blend premium liquors to prepare an epic selection of fruity cocktails, martinis, and mojitos, such as the 15-Minute Vacation, a handmade piña colada laced with Gosling's Black Seal rum ($15.95), and an olive-studded signature martini anchored by premium Fris vodka or New Amsterdam gin ($10.95). Seasoned fries ($5.95) plunge into a dozen diverse dipping sauces, including wasabi aioli and Cajun blue, on the late-night menu, which prevents diners from howling at the full moon by padding their maws with super-size clam strips ($9.95) and spicy chicken wings ($8.95). Six Olives Lounge is closed Sundays and Mondays.
Blending light tapas with imported desserts, an array of wine, and dancing, Pastíche's confines conjure up Old-World sentiments to create relaxing and romantic evenings. Pleasing vino virtuosos, Pastíche pours an assortment of 17 red wines, including Hugger Mugger pinot noir from Walla Walla Valley, Washington ($8/glass), and the 2007 Baer Winery ursa red blend ($15/glass), which was born out of alchemists' failure to blend merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, malbec, and petit verdot into a brick of pure gold. Glass tilters can also choose from 10 white wines by the glass, including the Tucker Cellars muscat canelli ($6) or Delaporte sancerre ($9).
Jazzercise is 60 minutes of cardio, strength training, and stretching that incorporates moves from hip-hop, yoga, Pilates, jazz dance, kickboxing, and resistance training with handheld weights. Dancing With the Stars multiple-champion Cheryl Burke is a big fan of Jazzercise's improvisational workouts, though luckily you won't need her dance moves to get the most out of your class. If you're prone to first-class jitters, though, you can review the basic moves online before you go. Expect to burn off up to 500 calories with each go-round.
Inviting the town porter to your house every other Tuesday evening for drinks makes your home neither a porterhouse nor even a porter abode. Today's Groupon will spare you any further awkward conversations about "what's the craziest thing you ever ported." For $15, you get $30 worth of hearty meals and West Coast ales at Porterhouse in West Seattle.
A glowing, crimson wall accentuates the industrial-chic interior of the Vessel, casting a rosy sheen across the abundant chrome finishes. The bar is rather simple in design—long, wooden, and abutted by plain black stools—yet the mixing that goes on behind it is as elaborate as a teenager's explanation for missing curfew. A rotating staff of 25 bartenders, in addition to frequent guest mixologists, carefully shake and stir their inspired cocktails, dreaming up a new menu each night. Starting at lunch and continuing until as late as 11 p.m., culinary artists are also at work in the kitchen, churning out elevated bar fare such as foie gras–buttered popcorn and their Old Fashioned sundaes, made with Angostura ice cream, candied orange, and whiskey caramel.
Belltown Billiards stepped up the nightlife game by blending a pool hall with a sleek, modern lounge. Stripes and solids roll atop eight custom-designed Brunswick pool tables, above which curved, industrial-style awnings arc like wings. Nearby, black leather couches in the lounge give onlookers a comfortable spot to watch games or the cue-twirling victory dances that follow them. Bartenders also pour out a selection of beers, cocktails, and wines from a neon-lit bar.
The onsite kitchen, helmed by a professional chef, makes Mediterranean-inspired entrees with fresh, local ingredients from nearby Pike Place Market. Small groups can order apps such as bruschetta or pork sliders from the à la carte regular menu. Thin-crust pizzas and buffet-style meals from the large-party menu cater to crews of up to 400. Belltown Billiards also hosts regular public events, and DJs spin dance beats every night.

Sweet, Sour and Savory Sticky Buns
Author Notes: These rolls hit all the right buttons in all the best ways. A few things of note: I cooked a small piece of sausage and did a taste test. It wasn't seasoned like I liked it so I added some garlic powder, sage and black pepper. It was pretty aggressive seasoning but it worked great. I also did this recipe twice. The first time I didn't let the dough rise enough after I pulled them from the fridge for the second rise. They were good but nowhere near as light and airy as the second time when I was more patient and let them rise fully. Finally, the glaze seems like a lot but you will regret it if you try to skimp, I know from experience: the first time the rolls were good; the second, with more glaze, they were over the top. - thirschfeld
Makes 12
Maple Brown Sugar Glaze
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter (two sticks)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
Sticky Buns
- 1 pound nicely seasoned sage sausage
- 1 cup dried sour cherries, coarsely chopped
- 2/3 cups pecans, chopped
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (which equals 16 oz. on a scale)
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced
- 1 1/4 cup plus more if needed of buttermilk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- Combine the glaze ingredients (sugar, salt, syrup and butter) in the bowl of a mixer. Using the paddle attachment cream the butter, sugar and maple syrup. Scoop out into a 9 x 13-inch pan and spread it evenly across the bottom into a 1/4-inch layer. Place the tray into the fridge. Clean out the mixing bowl and dry it.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Break the bulk sausage into 1-inch pieces and spread it out onto a sheet pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the sausage from the oven and let it cool. When it has cooled, chop it with a knife or in a food processor until it is a fine mince. Set aside in the fridge.
- In the bowl of the mixer now combine the 5 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Cream with a paddle attachment. Remove the attachment, cleaning the butter off into the mixing bowl. Attach the dough hook. Now stir the yeast into the buttermilk.
- Add the egg, flour, sage, salt and buttermilk to the bowl. Turn the mixer to low and mix until the gluten begins to form and you have a smooth enriched dough that pulls cleanly away from the sides. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and knead the dough on the counter for 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Grease the mixing bowl, put the dough back into the bowl, and cover it with a warm damp towel or plastic wrap. Set it aside in a warm spot and let it rise for an hour or until almost doubled in bulk.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead it a few times. Roll it out into approximately a 9 x 13-inch rectangle. It should be about a 1/2-inch thick.
- Remove the sausage from the fridge. Spread it evenly, leaving about two inches of space on one of the 13 inch sides. Spread out the pecans and cherries too. Sprinkle on 1/4 cup of light brown sugar.
- Remove the 9 x 13 sugar glaze pan from the fridge. Roll the dough tightly into a 13-inch-long jelly roll. Using a very sharp knife in a gentle sawing motion, cut the rolls into 1-inch rounds. Lay them flat into the pan so that they almost touch. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- About three hours before you want to eat, remove the rolls from the fridge and place them in a warm spot. Let them rise until they are 3/4 the way up the side of the 2-inch-deep pan. Remove the plastic from the pan.
- About 1 hour into the final rise heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake the rolls for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove them from the oven. Using two oven mitts or dry towels, place a tray or large plate on top of the pan and carefully invert the pan onto a tray or plate (think upside down cake). Lift the pan, leaving the rolls behind, and scrape any glaze left in the pan onto the rolls. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve.

Should these be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner? How sweet are they?
12 months ago thirschfeld
They are more sweet. I consider them breakfast food but I made them in the afternoon and knowing they were meant for breakfast didn't keep me from eating them at dinner.
12 months ago lighthouse6
So - I added about 1.5 cups more flour until I had a soft elastic bread dough. I too had used cultured raw buttermilk which is very thick. They tasted great, everyone loved them. I had been worried that I would need more yeast but that was not the case. Thanks!
12 months ago thirschfeld
glad it worked out!
12 months ago lighthouse6
Oh no! I am in the middle of these and realized that something is terribly wrong. 2 c of buttermilk with 3.5 cups of flour and I have a liquid batter. What to do now?
12 months ago thirschfeld
Add 1/2 a cup a flour at a time till the dough comes together.
12 months ago Paul Smith
Same thing happened to me, and I added flour until it achieved the desired consistency. Maybe the recipe has a typo for one of these two measurements?
12 months ago thirschfeld
I made the recipe three times, using the same ingredients. The only thing that might be different, and it didn't occur to me because it is what I always use, is I used a cultured buttermilk that was very thick. I will make note of that in the recipe. Thanks for all your input and hopefully the buns worked out in the end and were as good as the ones we had.
12 months ago Kitchen Butterfly
Absolutely gorgeous. They may not make it to the Breakfast table on Christmas morning but I see them featuring long before the New Year. I also thing thick cut bacon would be delish... Good job for creating adult memories inspired by childhood nostalgia.

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
October 9, 2009 Howe and Why What to Expect from John Tavares
by Robert Vollman
Forgetting to consider rookies when making your season projections can be a big mistake. While many experts didn't consider the Columbus Blue Jackets to be contenders as the 2008-09 season began, they actually finished 6th in the West, and it was rookies Jakub Voracek, Derick Brassard and Steve Mason that made all the difference. Then there's St. Louis, another team pegged by pundits to miss the postseason, but were instead lifted several spots in the standings by the stellar two-way play from rookies Patrik Berglund and T.J. Oshie.
Don't blame them because it can be almost impossible to predict which teams will have unexpectedly high contributions from rookies. Using GVT we can calculate the net contribution, in goals, that each team's rookies had in 2008-09, which can be considerable, given that the average team GVT is 120.
Team GVT Columbus 32.8 St. Louis 27.1 Boston 21.3 Nashville 21.3 Anaheim 20.3 Los Angeles 19.7 Chicago 14.2 Toronto 11.7 Atlanta 10.2 Dallas 8.8
On average an additional 8.2 goals worth of production above replacement-level is provided from rookie players per team, about a fifth of which comes from goaltenders. What makes this so significant is that these contributions aren't spread out evenly, they're restricted to a small handful of fortunate teams. Last season, 12 of the league's 30 teams had a virtually worthless contribution of 2.2 GVT or less from their rookies.
Thanks to John Tavares, the New York Islanders might be the club to top the list of teams with the potential to exceed preseason expectations due to significant boosts from first-year players, a list that includes teams like Toronto, Atlanta, New York Rangers, Detroit, Los Angeles, Colorado, Vancouver and Montreal. While the Isles are still likely to miss the playoffs, Tavares could be the key to keeping them out of the basement and up towards respectability.
To figure out just how good John Tavares can be, let's establish expectations by considering the best rookie performances since the lockout season. There are generally only about 3-4 rookies per season that score 50 points, with two well-known superstars doubling that.
Season Age Player Team GP G A PTS 2005-06 20 Alex Ovechkin Washington 81 52 54 106 2005-06 18 Sidney Crosby Pittsburgh 81 39 63 102 2006-07 20 Evgeni Malkin Pittsburgh 78 33 52 85 2006-07 21 Paul Stastny Colorado 82 28 50 78 2007-08 19 Patrick Kane Chicago 82 21 51 72 2005-06 23 Brad Boyes Boston 82 26 43 69 2007-08 20 Nicklas Backstrom Washington 82 14 55 69 2006-07 19 Anze Kopitar Los Angeles 72 20 41 61 2008-09 21 Bobby Ryan Anaheim 64 31 26 57 2005-06 22 Jussi Jokinen Dallas 81 17 38 55 2007-08 19 Jonathan Toews Chicago 64 24 30 54 2007-08 19 Peter Mueller Phoenix 81 22 32 54 2008-09 22 Kris Versteeg Chicago 78 22 31 53 2006-07 20 Wojtek Wolski Colorado 76 22 28 50 2005-06 23 Marek Svatos Colorado 61 32 18 50
Their age is included in this list because it's important to remember that John Tavares is only 19 years old this season. Sidney Crosby is the only player younger than Tavares to score 50 points in his rookie season since the lockout, and only four others scored 50 points at age 19, Patrick Kane, Anze Kopitar, Jonathan Toews and Peter Mueller. Given Tavares' statistics in the OHL, it's reasonable to expect that he can join the club.
Season Age GP G A PTS PTS/GP 2005-06 15 65 45 32 77 1.18 2006-07 16 67 72 62 134 2.00 2007-08 17 59 40 78 118 2.00 2008-09 18 56 58 46 104 1.86
In the past, to establish what to expect in terms of highs, lows and average expectations for current players, we've applied Similarity Scores to look for players with similar statistics throughout the NHL's 90 year history. We can do the same thing with the OHL, but to keep things simple we're only going to look at points per game, and only for players that match Tavares' age exactly. Given the fluctuations in scoring throughout the OHL's history, I've normalized everyone's points per game to modern-day OHL scoring levels.
Of all the players that had a normalized point per game total within 10% of Tavares in the OHL at age 18, the vast majority, like prominent Ducks Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan, spent their 19-year-old season in the OHL. Here are the only five exceptions, along with their NHL stats.
P/G: Points per game
Adj_P/G: Points per game, normalized to 2008-09 OHL scoring levels
GP, G, A, PTS: Games played, goals, assists and points in the following NHL season
Player Season P/G Adj_P/G GP G A PTS Jason Spezza 2001-02 1.98 2.04 33 7 14 21 Jason Allison 1993-94 2.54 1.94 12 2 1 3 Dan Quinn 1983-84 2.48 1.90 74 20 38 58 Eric Lindros 1991-92 2.38 1.83 61 41 34 75 Jeff O'Neill 1994-95 2.18 1.71 65 8 19 27
As we can see, playing regularly for the New York Islanders at age 19 this season would make Tavares quite unique. However, Tavares has already established himself as a very unique player, because even at age 17 he averaged 2.0 points per game. If we normalize to 2008-09 OHL scoring levels, do you know who else accomplished this rare feat? Eric Lindros (2.61 normalized to 2.05) and Jason Spezza (2.07 normalized to 2.03)!
There are only a few players capable of playing at an elite level at a very young age like Spezza and Lindros, and there's no reason to believe that Tavares isn't one of them. Tavares' fellow Mississauga native Jason Spezza was on track for a 50 point season had he not split his time in the AHL in 2001-02, and Eric Lindros' monster season of 1.23 points per game in 1992-93 with the Philadelphia Flyers would still translate to 1.03 points per game (80-85 points) at today's scoring level. If Tavares can fall somewhere between Spezza and Lindros, it should be more than enough to lead both rookies and the Islanders in scoring, and it should mean that he added a sizable net GVT contribution to the team.
It's important to consider the impact rookies can have on the NHL teams fortunate enough to have them on board at the right time, like the New York Islanders. A great rookie can score 50 points or more and provide a significant boost to his team in the standings, like John Tavares, one of the key players to watch this year in the Calder Trophy race.

A human rights-based approach to international drug policy is one that takes human rights as a starting point, rather than an afterthought. It is not about advocating for a human right to use drugs – an inaccurate caricature of the approach. A human rights-based approach challenges the laws, policies, structures and practices of international and national drug control. It also challenges the aims of drug policies. These challenges are rooted in international human rights law, which serves as the normative and authoritative foundation of the human rights-based approach.
A human rights-based approach to drug policies requires, for example:
- Reframing the aims of drug control in line with human rights obligations
- Restructuring the 'pillars' of drug control (supply and demand reduction)
- The development of a new system of indicators for drug control programmes
- The interpretation of the international drug conventions in line with international human rights law
- The development of international guidelines on human rights and drug policies to guide national implementation
- The repeal or amendment of abusive legislation and the amendment of abusive policies or practices
- The development of practical tools to assist in the development of drug policies and programmes at international and national level that are compliant with human rights
- Human rights training for police, drug treatment staff, parliamentarians, civil servants and affected communities etc.
- A focus on vulnerability including improved data collection to uncover patterns and target responses – this includes a focus on children and young people
- A holistic approach looking at the structures and policies surrounding drug use, production and trade (such as income inequality, poverty, housing, conflict and violence etc)
- A strong gender focus in policies and programmes
- Meaningful participation of affected groups including people who use drugs
- Transparency in international and national decision making
- Accountability, including the implementation of systems of redress for victims of human rights violations committed in the name of drug control
The development of a human rights-based approach to drug policies is at the core of Harm Reduction International's international human rights research and advocacy.

Ruben Fleischer
Ruben Fleischer is a director whose 2009 film Zombieland took the world by storm. By that I mean I liked it a lot, and most other people did too. Prior to Zombieland, Ruben directed many short films with Earwolf guests like Nick Thune and even directed the first couple of Between Two Ferns videos. His new film is called 30 Minutes or Less and it stars Aziz Ansari, Nick Swardson and other Earwolf guests, so you're pretty much required to go see it.

Becoming virtuous, according to Aristotle, requires that we engage in a process of habituation by acting as if we were virtuous, just as musicians master their instruments by playing them. By contrast, when one's behavior or experience is out of line with one's reflective com

Company now from Boston is Scottish -- -- whole on that he's with granite investment -- If I'm not mistaken -- use believe that this is a rotten investment don't touch it with a ten foot poll is that correct.
I think -- is a little bit of a stretch to after the.
We what we do -- when we look at any company the first question is is -- a good company.
The second question then is is it properly managed in the third question is finally prize so is FaceBook a good company absolutely it's -- 900 plus million users.
Is it properly manage yes Mark Zuckerberg took this from nothing into into what it is right now the final pieces priced -- story really get hung up.
And that simply is we're now trading about going to be trading at a hundred plus times earnings was very 25 times revenue -- -- -- -- -- good news is baked into this and -- Some of the -- some of the reasons I'm hearing from people buying it even though.
I've heard that you just defies conventional valuation metrics -- this sounds eerily reminiscent to what people were saying in the late ninety's about some of the -- -- Let me arrogant -- -- -- second but has yet I take your point.
Because it's such a brand new industry -- social network industry it's hard to know what to make of it in the future I -- could be passing fad can be superseded any time I like AOL for example but on the other hand ready complete the new platform.
For all kinds of all the businesses which feed money into FaceBook.
That's something we don't know it highly speculative and is it.
That's -- really you hit the nail on the head of speculative.
You can't justify -- on today's price so really what you're doing is you're going out into the future as saying in the future it will be that so we are speculating what I -- curious -- -- you have it.
Investors in this country individual investors that are pulling money out of equities because they're afraid of risk of equities.
Yet they're happy to put money into something -- that's very spectrum than a hundred times earnings.
It just seems a very inconsistent with some B Abrams and because people think it's the next Google -- -- that's what they're looking at last what they think.
It could be the next school bullet could be the next Global Crossing very hard to -- OK any other -- we appreciate it didn't mention with the women everyone thinks they were a yet gov does go ahead almost -- one other thing bear in mind that bear in mind that FaceBook isn't the first one in the space.
We have MySpace we have Friendster before this they don't exist anymore so there is Rix risk of product obsolescence.

boujou 5 Review: Matchmoving Enters its Maturity
Developed for film and television post and VFX facilities, boujou has long been the industry standard for matchmoving, allowing users to add computer-generated effects seamlessly into film or video footage. When boujou was first introduced in 2001, it provided a completely different approach to motion tracking. Before boujou, matchmoving was an expensive and highly skilled process, adding significantly to post-production costs. Everything had to be done by hand in key-frame animation, or with laborious point-based camera tracking. boujou, with its ability to track hundreds, if not thousands, of points automatically, changed all that.
Despite its groundbreaking status, boujou was still very much a hit-or-miss proposition when it first came out. It either worked, or it didn't. An artist would bring in the background plate to be tracked, enter the lens data and hit feature track, and boujou would try to come up with a solution. When it worked, it worked well, and when it didn't, it was often easier to move to a manual solution. As the versions have progressed, boujou has added more and more functionality, giving users the means for increased refinements. It started out as very easy to learn, with just a couple of buttons to push. Now it still has that basic functionality, but it's been expanded with a lot more depth. Advanced users can do a lot more with it and take shots further than ever before without moving to a separate package.
Vicon recently released boujou 5, with a host of new features and improved functionality that will help the software continue to earn its reputation as the industry's leading matchmoving solution. Overall, I'm happy to see the changes in boujou 5. I've used pretty much every major matchmoving program that's come out over the last 13 years, and one of the great things about boujou is that it tries to exploit processing power and nicely crafted algorithms, and utilizes a large data set to come up with the perfect camera solve. With each version of boujou I'm finding fewer reasons to have to go to external tools, and boujou 5 is no exception.
There's always room for improvement with any software tool, and there are a few things I imagine will be incorporated into boujou in the future, but boujou 5 does just about everything I could wish for right now. This latest release represents the fulfillment of some of the most frequently requested features from boujou users, including an Automatic Sequential Solver, Reference Frames, a new Target Tracker and a fully functional Graph Editor, and they've been addressed quite well.
The Automatic Sequential Solver now available in boujou is a huge time-saver. Previous versions of boujou took the entire shot into account before delivering a solve. boujou 5 has the ability to look at a single frame at a time, enabling the user to intervene as needed and making the entire process significantly faster. This is perfect for users who want to sift through a problem area one frame at a time without having to create a solve for the entire shot.
What bunch or retards you is
Just delete the bracket ')' at the end of the line 'filename'
eg: filename = "E:/boujou_5_tutorial_07/tutorial_07/tutorial_7_source_images/tutorial7_taxi.ifl")
Then save & run the script. It will work. Apparently this happens when using pirated version of Boujou.
why the camera solve i export cannot be use in 3d max 2010? i have selected export for 3d max
the message appear : syntax error : at ), expected
While the new features are a great improvement on 4.1.1, the program is frustratingly slow compared to PFTrack 5 or the incredibly fast Syntheyes (which also has a 64 bit version).
In this business "time is money" and the other products available are WAY in front in speed. There are also no "must have" features that set it apart from the others. I won't be changing in a hurry!
Hi, Christine here from software developer team (limewire pro download). I'm a novice at this but I can handle it, let me say that the beauty of Reference-Frames is that it is not very complicated to use. Basically I just shoot a bunch of photo from very different angle and after that I add the informations from the still images and voila, solve! Simple workflow that adds an enormous amounts of additional fuinctionalities.
I believe Boujou is way expensive. There is a huge gap between the average price of Match Moving software and Boujou.The steep price can't be justified even with a slightly better feature list of Boujou.
This BOUJOU is simply a grt software .. i hv even used other tracking softwares bt i found this boujou very handy n easy to use. let see hw dis new feature 'The Automatic Sequential Solver' in this newer version, works.... am sure its goin to b much more powerful thn evr b4.

Playing a round of golf is always unpredictable. Rain can spoil it. Any storm can, really. And in most places, golf courses lay dormant for half a year, their fairways untouched as they await the passing of the season. Fortunately, the courses at Fore Season Indoor Golf never close. That's because they exist in the massive, high-definition screens of seven Full Swing golf simulators and are impervious to weather. Best of all, the simulators let golfers play replicas of 42 world famous courses, including Pebble Beach and Pinehurst No. 2., without having to book airfare or turn their golf bag into a personal jet pack.
Along with the golf simulators, the facility's driving net and indoor putting green allow for golfers to work on every facet of their golf game or schedule lessons conducted by the center's two instructors. Fore Season Indoor Golf also shares space with a Pub that serves a menu of hot dogs, burgers, and sandwiches that golfers can eat by spearing them with golf tees.
With its whitewashed siding, green roof, and porch fronted by six pillars, the Colonial–style clubhouse at Wawenock Golf Club recalls a bygone era of gentility. Its old-fashioned character extends to the Club's nine-hole course, where golfers hunt birdies amid fairways intersected by ribbons of mature trees—some of which have been there since the course was built in 1928.
The fourth hole, a par 5, is a gem that will test golfers of all handicaps. A river cuts across the fairway, making the initial drive a maddening one. But it's the second shot that tends to determine your fate on this hole, as it bends around a pond that hugs the fairway and extends close to the green. To create a distinct front- and back-nine experience, Wawenock offers two pairs of tees and golf carts that reverse their steering functions after the first nine holes.
The once-private Boothbay Country Club now welcomes the general public to send shots sailing through invigorating ocean breezes that sweep through its verdant acreage. Hilltop vistas, stately pines, and foliage that emblazons the autumnal landscape in bursts of color make playing the course a distinctly Maine experience, marked by the nautical titles of each hole and carts with caddie stowaways. Golfers of all skill levels can play the course from one of the four sets of tees, with the course extending to 6,356 yards from the farthest Gold tees. The par 4 eighth hole—known as Widow's Walk and also the hardest-rated hole—presents beautiful vistas and difficult hazards, with two creeks meandering across the fairway and multiple sand traps guarding the peanut-shaped green. In closing their round on the 18th hole, titled Fiddler's Green, players have a final shot at birdie, requiring them to avoid the rocky creek that cuts between the split fairway and hit an uphill shot into a green that sells part of its fringe to shag-carpet purists. Course at a Glance:
In a mezzanine area flooded with natural light from arced windows, cardio machines stand alongside free weights and strength-training equipment, ready to help exercisers combat calories and stress levels. Instructors, meanwhile, inspire participants to reach their fitness goals during group fitness classes set to upbeat music, while yoga teachers promote a stronger mind-body connection with styles ranging from breath-focused Vinyasa to energetic prana flow. For more in-depth work, guests can work with trainers certified by the likes of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the National Academy of Sports Medicine. The crew also includes registered nurse Maria Glad, whose 12-week and 12-month wellness programs complement the club's fitness activities.
Staffers at the organic, raw-food juice and smoothie bar stand by to whip up a healthy and satisfying snack after workouts, while vapor from the locker rooms' sauna and steam room loosens muscles.
With iridescent miniature golf courses in malls throughout North America, Glowgolf adds elements of phosphorescent fun to shopping sessions. Courses contain sights such as light-defying blush corals, incandescent animals, and lush foliage reminiscent of the glowing trees on Neptune. Each pass is good for three 18-hole games, giving golfers ample opportunity to get familiar with each hole's obstacles. Equipment is available on the spot, so players won't have to carry around personal clubs or seek out a bioluminescent caddie.
Putt putters can bask in the soothing phosphorescent splendor of Glowgolf's mini course as they navigate their illuminated golf balls through glowtopia. Courses contain sights such as light-defying blush corals, incandescent fishes, and lush foliage. Each pass is good for three 18-hole games, giving golfers ample opportunity to outmaneuver any vividly bright and very alive windmills that may appear. Equipment is available on the spot, so players won't risk bending their own putters when they chase after that pesky, good-for-nothing, hole-digging, ball-stealing, and most likely hallucinated gopher.

This charming villa is in the very best location...truly a 5 min. walk to the beach and easy walk to the Island Club whether you walked along the road or along the beach...well, provided the tide was out. It was clean and well maintained and the owner and housekeeping staff were responsive to all questions and requests. Having the Amenity Card to the Island club pools and restaurants was a big plus. The staff was helpful and friendly and the food at the Club terrific. Having access to the club's sunbathing deck and pools at the water's edge was great. We also ate at Chez Fish on the road into Seabrook and that was excellent too. Try the she-crab soup! I definitely recommend this villa....thanks Liz for everything!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car.

Six of us rented this house for a friend's wedding at the Seabrook Beach club, and it was terrific! The owner, Liz, is very helpful and communicative, and the house is clean and well maintained, with tasteful beach house decor. The layout of the main room of the condo is open and spacious, and the floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto a peaceful woodsy view. The weather didn't cooperate the first day, but we found hanging out in the house very comfortable. And when it did shape up, we ran on the gorgeous beach (which can be accessed very close to the condo), had our morning coffee on one of the multiple porches, and walked over to the pool at the Seabrook club (where there are separate adult & kid pools and they make delicious pina coladas). I would definitely recommend staying here, and if we ever find ourselves in Seabrook Island again, we'll be back!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: Thanks Emily! We do our best provide an accurate description of our villa and Seabrook lsland. l'm glad you agree. Liz

We are aleady thinking about next year after this wonderful week. My husband & I vacationed with our 5 children ages 3-13. The new Beach Club was enjoyed by all. We participated in several of the activities at the Beach Club. We were able to walk to the sound within 5 minutes. The kids found lots of hermit crabs and sand dollars, plus we caught 5 blue crabs! We saw deer everywhere around the villa and on the beach. The accomodations were perfect for us ane we hope to return soon.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2001
About the owner: Even though we live in Charlotte, our family found out about Seabrook Island from my sister who lives in Boston. It was a well kept secret back then, and it is still the Charleston area's hidden jewel for pristine, uncrowded beaches and country club amenities in a private island atmosphere. Here, our family poses for a photo after enjoying a Thanksgiving feast in the Palmetto Room at the Seabrook Island Club.
Why the Owner Chose Spinnaker Beachhouses:
There is no other oceanside community that compares to Seabrook Island. With it's private beaches, golf, tennis, equestrian center and crabbing dock, there is something for everyone at Seabrook. The new Beach Club and Lake House scheduled to open in 2009 will add beachfront pools, oceanside dining and indoor pool and fitness center to the many amenities on the island.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
We love to roller blade on the 3 mile loop just outside the villa. Our family also enjoys golf, biking and relaxing time on Seabrook Island's beautiful beaches.

Frisco's standards were developed and modified over time in a collaborative effort between citizens, developers, business owners, and elected and appointed officials. Frisco's Green Building program and it's updates have included hundreds of hours of stakeholder meetings over the years, resulting in a broad commitment to creating a community with discernable quality and uniqueness.
Frisco first adopted a Green Building Program in 2001, for residential plat approved after May of 2001. Starting in July of 2007, the Green Building Program has been mandatory for ALL new residential, commercial and multi-family structures. Since implementation:
- More than 16,830 single-family homes built. - More than 7.7 million square feet of commercial space built. - Several Energy Star™ and LEED® certified buildings (commercial and residential) built.
Program Requirements
Commercial Green Building – Program regulates energy efficiency, heat island mitigation, impacts on air quality, water conservation, and construction and demolition waste recycling for non-residential and multifamily construction.
Residential Green Building – Program regulates energy efficiency, indoor air quality, water conservation, and waste recycling for residential construction.
2012 Update - proposed update to the residential requirements

"I would stay here again"
Great value for your money. Spacious room, convenient location close to downtown and the ski resort.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Good Location"
Rooms were plenty big enough, in the center of town and within walking distance to restraunts. Staff was more than helpful. I would recommend to a friend and also would stay there again myself.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Great Lodge"
Great lodge in the middle of Mammoth Lakes. The manager was extremely helpful and friendly. Room was large and has a fridge and microwave. I would stay here again especially if skiing.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Good Stay!"
The room is clean and comfortable. Good customer service. My only complaints are there aren't enough tables and chairs in continental breakfast room and the breakfast bar layout is unorganized.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Good choice at a reasonable price"
The hotel has reasonably large rooms with a microwave and fridge. Continental breakfast is provided. We were very pleased.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu

relaxed check in & check out. older building so some wear shown but the room was comfortable & quiet. cute little town near everything we wanted to visit. definitely would go back and stay here!Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
just okAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"right on the main road"
A little noisy with the guests across the street in the middle of the night.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
Though the room was clean and comfortable enough, the lack of air conditioning on a hot summer night was not compensated for by a noisy fan circulating hot air. The set up for breakfast was utterly bizarre. A tiny room with a couple of sofas and armchairs to seat people from a large number of rooms, with nowhere to sit around the pool area, which was […] never in use anyway. Choice of breakfast very limited. A very disappointing and overpriced hotel. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"On a Budget vacation"
It was what it was, cost effective, It may have been uncomfortable if it got real hot, the room didn't appear to have A/C. The room had maid service everyday so it was keep tidy.Aito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
Not worth the money. Outdated and old fashion. Not very clean. Did have easy access to room and the front desk was friendly. I would find a different place to stay if I go back. Location was convenient.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Not a three star, might be a one star."
Clean but Old and outdate furniture and flooring . Old bathrooms. No elevator's climbing to the third story is a real trip (10% incline). Continenal breakfast was good when you located where it was in the meeting room.Aito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Cozy hotel with all critical facilities"
We had a great experience at Sierra Lodge. We stayed in a room with two queen beds and a tiny kitchenette. We stayed for a week , we had everything we needed , microwave, fridge, and tiny kitchen area to make our sandwiches, also free wifi. All the eateries are very near by, walkable, we had awesome burritos from Jalapenos and pizza from Nik n Willies, […] we could store all the excess food in fridge and reheat in microwave, so very convenient. Continental breakfast at lodge was very nice, they had bagels, cereal, bread, coffee, juice and tea, decent. This place was perfect for us. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Exceeded Expetations"
Perfectly decent hotel for the price. Staff is friendly rooms are large and clean.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Large room comfy bed"
Value for money although a little tired the service was great very friendly, good restaurants close by, hotel had laundry which we believe a big plus.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Horrible smell"
My room smelled terrible, a mix of industrial cleaner and a gym locker. I wasn't expecting much considering what I paid but I should have stayed at the Motel 6 instead. I would have ha a cleaner room. Everything in the room worked, it just smelled bad and everything there was pretty old and run down. I'd avoid this place.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"perfect in may"
staff was easy going, the hotel easy access, wide hallways for the skiing crowd, excellent space in our room. can hear noise in hallway and elsewhere though,still great.Aito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Great value with just the right amenities"
The staff is accommodating without being overbearing. My room and bathroom were large and comfortable with a nice kitchenette although the walls were a little thin, and I could hear everyone in the hall. I really liked the easy access to the covered garage and ski lockers and the common living room with fireplace. I will definitely be coming back.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Ski trip"
Better than Motel 6. good value for Mammoth. Still a little pricey thoughAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Maybe it's better in the snow"
We stayed here in September 2012. It was quite deserted in the town, although all the hotels were fully booked. Don't be fooled by the "hot tub". It's a dirty yellow pool of warm water outside on a deck. Not appealing. The breakfast is rubbish. They leave out a few packs of bagels and some jam/jelly and butter. There were some soft apples, too. The […] room was okay. Quite large and everything worked okay. It didn't feel particularly safe, but maybe that's inevitable in the woods. The reception guy that checked us in and out was rude. Not overly impressed but the location was okay. We ate at a restaurant a short drive away which made the whole experience a bit better. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Could have stayed much longer"
Really enjoyed our stay. The room was large and very well equipped with a good size fridge, tidy kitchenette with microwave and a good stack of cutlery. there's plenty of storage space for a longer stay and a balcony for relaxation, even if the view isn't that stimulating! The Lodge is close to the central area and so handy for shopping, but is also […] well placed for reaching local attractions. The owner is a good fount of ideas if you find that your plans don't work out. We'd planned to do the Scenic Gondola, only to find it closed down the previous weekend, so he set us up with some great alternatives. Lastly, there's generous undercover parking, with the first floor rooms served by a small car park around the back; well worth knowing as there's no lift available! Our only criticism would be the breakfast which was very limited and not especially nutritious. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Never again"
I realize this town is at 7,000 feet but when you walk in and the only form of air movement is a small fan on a 10 foot extention cord you are in trouble. To make matters worse, their is an apartment complex next door and when a couple desides tonight is a great night to break up and yell, scream and throw things out of the window, you think Hotel management […] might be proactive in calling someone. No fewer than 15 Hotel guest yelled out the open window,(remember no a/c) before police arrived, it makes for a very short night. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Affordable and clean"
Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is off the main road in and out of Mammoth Lakes. We just stayed one night on our way to another desination. Rooms are dated, but clean. Would recommend if looking for basic, clean accomodations at an affordable price point.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"No Stove - what kind of kitchenette has no stove."
No stove. This kitchenette doesnt have a stove. The microwave is out of 1960s. The "continental breakfast" is just coffee and bagels. Dont waste your money here.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
Very friendly, responsive and welcoming staff.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Close to Mammoth Lakes and site seeing."
Front desk nice guy, Channa/Shanna was extremely professional, helpful and knowledgable about everything we asked and needed. He even called for our reservation at Mogels to help us. The room was very nice, clean, nice comfy bed, nice shower, nice balcony, just wish we had a view. Overall all was great, very satisfied, would stay again and would tell […] friends to stay there too. Thank you. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Sierra Lodge Mammoth Lakes CA"
Great staff and nice place to stay. Breakfast bagles were excellent and good coffee too.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
No A/C and uncomfortable beds. Granted it may have been a heat wave in the 70s but we had to sleep with the fan provided on high and the windows open all night. Bed was "extra firm" and flat pillows. The location was great and the staff was great.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Would Not Stay Here Again"
Pros: Helpful, polite staff, close to center of town. Beds & linens were clean. Running water, free wifi, fridge and microwave in room. Low risk of having a bear attack you in the middle of the night. Cons: No elevator, no ground floor rooms, no AC, no coffee maker in the room, and no coffee available in the hotel till 7:30 a.m. Our room faced Travel […] Lodge, which may also have no AC, because all windows were open during this hot June night. Someone across the way had profanity-filled TV on loudly till 2 a.m. By 7 the next morning (Sunday), there was music blasting. If you have any problem carrying your luggage up 2 flights of stairs to the lowest level room, this may not be the place for you. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
I have been going to Mammoth for years, and this was the first time I stayed at the Sierra Lodge. It had convenient indoor parking, large comfortable room, and a tasty free breakfast. It is right on Main Street and a short walk to Whiskey Creek/Mammoth Brewery or the village. Although ski season is over, they have ski lockers in the parking garage. […] I would recommend Sierra Lodge. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Great value!"
Friendly staff, excellent location. Conveniences and amenities foe leisure travel. Nice continental breakfast, close to many nice restaurants and bars. Trolley stop right in front of the property. Nice cafes within waking distance. A few miles from winter sports wonderland. Awesome outlet shopping across the street. Convenient, if far, from Yosemite […] National Park but 50-60 % less than lodging n the park! LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
Old and outdated. No air conditioning on a warm night (a fan). A few bagels and an English muffin or two does not make a "continental breakfast." Stay somewhere else, even if it costs more money.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Good, clean hotel"
The rooms were spacious and clean and the staff were friendly. Bar across the road was also great for a few beers and did a mean pizza. Great place to stop and rest for a night.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
The exterior of the motel was fair, the parking area was poor, the hallways fair ar best. The room was a slight improvement over the otther areas. Based on many continental breakfasts, this was bare bones. The surrending area is composed of apartment buildings in average to poor condition.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Nice hotel but dated rooms"
Very nice hotel and friendly staff. Rooms were a bit dated.Aito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Good value and convenient but needs updating."
The Lodge had good size rooms and is well suited for skiers who are spending a few days or longer skiing at Mammoth. Has high-speed free wireless which worked great. The bus to the slopes was convenient. However, the decor is '80's, the TV ancient, beds were hard and the pillows thin. Overall, convenient and good value but needs updating.Aito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Just fine for a ski stay."
Close to bus stops. Quiet.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Overall nice experience"
Overall nice experience. Rooms are spacious, with little kitchenettes that helps to increase your comfort, lot of storage space, even extra lockers for snowboards / skis in garage, covered garages... I think it is good hotel even for longer stay since all the space and equipment makes it easier. Only thing I didn't like so much was bathrooms - kinda […] small and visibly older. They might use some upgrading. But this is more wish than complain. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Best deal in Mammoth!"
Great location. There's a shuttle pick-up outside the hotel, Angel's restaurant is across the street and the outlet stores are a block away.Aito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Sierra Lodge - Perfect for a weekend getaway"
It may not be the classiest place in Mammoth or the most updated, but there is so much to do in town and up at the ski area that you never really spend that much time in your room anyway. The time you do spend at the Sierra Lodge will be comfortable due to the spacious rooms, kitchenettes, comfortable beds, hot tub, complimentary breakfast, fire place […] lounge, friendly staff, etc... And, there is a shuttle stop right out front. The Sierra Lodge has become our place of choice for all of our quick trips up to Mammoth throughout the year.

"Great value in Mammoth!"
We were impressed with the size of the room, its good location, right on Main Street, the value offered. The continental breakfast is coffee, tea, hot chocolate and pastries and bagels, and fruit. It's right next to Angel's, a great restaurant. Our king bedroom came with a kitchen module with a sink, some dishes, refrigerator, microwave, plus a fold […] out couch. Will book this hotel again next fall when we return to fish and enjoy fall foliage. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
"Sierra Lodge in Mammoth"
We were on the second floor and the stairway going up to our floor smelled bad like urine. Later it smelled overly flowery like an attempt to cover the bad smell. The carpet and hallways were dirty and run down. The room was clean, but the bed was very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this accommodation. Sorry.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Good price with a big room and good location"
This hotel looks small from outside. When we got in our room, the space is large enough for 4 people. Its location is near the center of Mammoth Lakes city and you can find restaurant, grocery store easily.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"If you just want a bed to sleep, here you go"
Good location, very easy to find it, front desk people is friendly. Bathroom is clean, bed and sheet is clean and confortable. Indoor parking is plus. TV works fine. This is an old hotel so don't ask too much. Breakfast is a joke. A 1960 hotel with 2011 price! But bottom line is: you can sleep and keep dry.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Perfectly fine hotel"
The hotel staff was great, the room was clean and the hotel was quiet. Good location for local restaurants and really close to the village and base of Mammoth. Would go back to the Sierra Lodge any time!Aito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
I vacationed in the Mammoth Lakes area over the 4th of July holiday. The positives greatly outweigh the negatives. Some of the things I liked about the hotel: free continental breakfast, covered parking, and there's a restaurant across the street. The jacuzzi was nice too. Without A/C, the room got a little hot, so we had to open the window for a few […] hours in the evening to cool the place down. The fridge's temperature control was a bit off and gave our food (apples and cucumbers) freezer burns. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Continental Breakfast"
The room for the continental breakfast was poor. It is obviously the "party room" but there were not enough chairs to eat in there and no tray available to take to the room. The food was scant and not a good place to lay it out. EVERYTHING else was great. Loved the room. it was very comfortable.Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
