Following an August visit that slowed the site to a crawl, President Barack Obama returned to the popular social news website Reddit to make a last-second plea to get out the vote Tuesday.
[JOIN US: U.S. News Live Blogging Election Day]
Using one of his favorite lines, Obama posted a link to his site with the headline "Reddit, this is important." He followed it up with a comment thanking the users of the site, which lean heavily liberal, for their support—and even threw in a reference to the "not bad" meme that's made its way around the site.
In August, Obama participated in a popular "Ask Me Anything" session in which he took questions from Reddit users. That hour-long session crashed the site, but not before he promised to reveal the White House beer recipes and talked about student loans, foreign policy, and the economy.
Here's what he had to say Tuesday:
"I want to thank you all again for the reception you gave me in August for my AMA. Good questions. Definitely not bad.
I'm checking in because polls will start closing in this election in just a few hours, and I need you to vote.
Millions of Americans have stepped up in support of this campaign over the last 19 months, and today we decide what the next four years look like -- but only if we show up.
I ask that you go out there and cast your vote, whatever your political persuasion.
You can confirm your polling location here:
If you've voted already, don't stop there -- spread the word to your friends, roommates, and neighbors. Think of it as upvoting."

Please confirm that your email address is correct, so you can successfully receive this alert.
From the Dept. of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Howard University, Washington, DC; the Dept. of Psychiatry, McGill University, Montreal, Canada; and Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center, Hanover, NH.
Correspondence: firstname.lastname@example.com (e-mail).
Received October 18, 2010; Revised March 12, 2011; Revised April 18, 2011; Accepted May 25, 2011.
Background: Many psychiatric residents have traditionally received little-or-no training in cross cultural approaches to psychiatric training and research.
Method: The Dartmouth–Howard Collaboration summer school training program had a 5-year grant to explore approaches to enhancing understanding of cultural factors in mental health treatment and research.
Results: Participants' questionnaire rating responses indicated that their experience in the Summer School program enhanced their understanding and experience in dealing with minority, largely African American patients and the diverse factors that affect their treatment.
Conclusion: The Dartmouth–Howard Collaboration provides a model for a feasible training program that imparts knowledge regarding culture and mental health, and the conduct of mental health research, with particular attention to African American mental health. The program is unique in that it offers an intense, 1-week course delivered to several types of mental health professionals and trainees in research and practice.
A large national survey of several thousand resident physicians in seven medical specialties, including psychiatry, at United States academic health centers found that a large proportion of residents reported receiving little-or-no cross-cultural training in key areas (1). Approximately half reported receiving little training in understanding how to address patients from different cultures (1). Resident physicians' self-reported preparedness to deliver cross-cultural care lags well behind preparedness in other clinical and technical areas (1). This is particularly worrisome, because many high-profile reports continue to highlight ethno-racial disparities in health care (2). In this article, we provide evidence for a feasible model for a week-long summer course designed to provide training for psychiatry residents, clinicians, and researchers on key issues in African American mental health and the conduct of research. Disparities in educational attainments among African Americans have decreased, but still exist. The racial/ethnic minority portion of the U.S population continues to grow and is expected to become a majority by 2056 (3). However, there has been no corresponding increase in the number of minority clinicians/researchers (4, 5). A special supplemental report on racial/ethnic disparities in mental health identifies the support of "capacity-development" as one of six broad recommendations to reduce mental health disparities:
"Minorities are underrepresented as providers, researchers, and as administrators and policymakers and consumer and family organizations. Furthermore, many providers and researchers of all backgrounds are not fully aware of the impact of culture on mental health, mental illness, and mental health services (p 167)" (3). The deficit in minority clinicians and researchers actively engaged in mental health research is a cause for concern. The gaps in both mental health services and knowledge in these areas for minority population are a matter of interest, as well. The Summer School, through the collaborative efforts between Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center (PRC) and Howard University, is intended to narrow this gap and enhance the pipeline supply of underrepresented minorities in the field of psychiatric research.
The Dartmouth–Howard Collaboration is a 5-year research and training center grant (PI: R. Whitley), awarded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). Research activities supported by the grant focus on the psychiatric rehabilitation of African Americans with severe mental illnesses (and, often, comorbid substance use disorder). The collaboration brings together mental health researchers in psychiatry, anthropology, sociology, and social work from the Dartmouth PRC and Howard University. Details of the collaboration have been previously published (6). In addition to conducting research and generating new knowledge vis-à-vis African American mental health, a principal aim of the grant is to build research capacity in the African American scholarly community.
The Howard–Dartmouth Collaborative Summer School (HDCSS) is an annual, week-long, academic research training program. The first HDCSS was held in June 2009, and the second was held in June 2010. The third HDCSS was scheduled for June 2011. In keeping with the capacity-building aim of the Dartmouth–Howard Collaboration, we hope that such training programs will continue indefinitely into the future. The aim of the HDCSS is to provide trainees with the tools needed to become better researchers, clinicians, and scholars, especially as related to African American mental health. This is done through sessions and workshops that attempt to impart practical, methodological, and theoretical knowledge on the proper design, execution, and conduct of mental health-related research with African Americans. Participants have included graduate and medical students, psychiatry resident physicians, social workers, nurses, psychologists, and community researchers. After the Summer School, trainees and mentors maintain regular communication, thereby building on the collaborative foundation established during the week-long summer school. Seminars and workshops are led by faculty and senior personnel from Dartmouth PRC, Howard University, and other relevant organizations, including the National Institutes of Health and the Mellon Foundation.
The Curriculum was designed by senior investigators with varying disciplinary experience to provide essential information in two core areas: 1) African American mental health issues; and 2) knowledge about the conduct of research and methodologies. In other words, it was designed to focus on substantive as well as practical knowledge. The program consists of 4 days of workshops and seminars, as well as a 1-day field trip. The session is formatted with 3 sessions in a day; each session is 1½ hours long, with teachers encouraged to lecture no longer than 1 hour, so as to allow 30 minutes for questions and discussion. Two sessions are held in the morning and one in the afternoon. During lunch break and after the afternoon session, faculty and students are encouraged to mingle, to explore further issues and possibilities of collaboration. Sessions are interactive because active participation of the trainees is encouraged. A catered, in-house lunch is provided within the classroom itself in order to facilitate further discussion and collaboration.
In the last 2 years, we have arranged field trips to the District of Columbia's mental health facilities (including St Elizabeth's Hospital), core service agencies, and supportive housing for people in recovery. Field trips provide trainees with the chance to observe real-world conditions and develop a better understanding of the mental health system. The Summer School offers integrative sessions on African American culture and its relation to mental health research. Sessions examine issues surrounding the state of mental health of the African American community and disparities in access to care. Topics include historical perspectives in African American mental health care, core issues in African American health, cultural competence in health care, and critical approaches in religion and mental health.
Additional workshops address paradigmatic and theoretical approaches in the field of research, including interdisciplinary research, critical perspectives on mental health, and evidence-based medicine. The Summer School also focuses on imparting methodological and practical knowledge necessary for the correct conduct of research. Topics include an introduction to mental health research, responsible conduct of research, ethical treatment of human subjects, importance of pilot studies, comparison and combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, and the concepts of evaluation, validity, and study design. The program assists the attendees in gaining knowledge of key skills for researchers, including critical issues in writing grant proposals and articles. Sessions on grantsmanship and publication address available grant mechanisms for new and established investigators. Social activity outside the classroom to promote interaction between organizers and participants is an added feature of the Summer School. This includes a Summer School dinner, informal coffee meetings, and after-class drinks. Through these interactions, ideas are exchanged and collegiality, further mentoring, and collaborative relationships are enhanced, as participants interact in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.
In the 2009 Summer School session, there were 37 participants. In the 2010 Summer School session, there were 40 participants. After each session, participants were asked to complete a questionnaire assessing speaker effectiveness, session content, and relevance on a 5-point satisfaction scale, where 1 is Poor and 5 is Excellent. Program evaluations indicated overall high satisfaction with the experience and knowledge gained from the Summer School. On average, the participants gave a rating of between 4 and 5 ("Very Good" and "Excellent"), an indication that the HDCSS sessions were very informative and provided an excellent opportunity for learning. Furthermore, qualitative comments from trainees indicated that the sessions were excellent, engaging, and interactive. The discussion-based format of the sessions allowed for growth and generation of thought that led to a better understanding of ethnic and cultural issues among African Americans. Attendees suggested that the knowledge learned was very helpful in their practice. The field trip provided first-hand-experience and interactive exchange of views between Summer School participants, consumers, and mental-health providers.
The Dartmouth–Howard Collaboration provides a model for a feasible training program that imparts knowledge regarding culture and mental health, and the conduct of mental health research, with particular attention to African American mental health. The HDCSS is unique in that it offers an intense, 1-week course delivered to several types of mental health professionals and trainees in research and practice. Many programs have short immersion courses or seminars on cultural psychiatry in general, notably at McGill University and Oregon State University (7, 8). Our endeavors represent a distinct approach, given the focus on African American culture and the design and conduct of mental health research. Our research group has emphasized a concept of culture informed by anthropological theory (6) instead of viewing culture as an assemblage of certain "traits" or as a synonym for race, ethnicity, nationality, or citizenship. This approach fosters an awareness of the diverse types of understanding of health and illness that exist cross-culturally, as well as a critical examination of the culture of medicine and its practitioners. To underscore the complexity and flexibility of "culture," participants were encouraged to articulate their own cultural identities, made up of combinations of such realms as ethnicity, religion, class, gender, and education. We made an explicit effort to introduce Summer School participants to the concept that biomedicine itself is a culture. Accordingly, biomedical approaches to health and illness are understood to be products of a particular Western European and American historical and cultural trajectory (9). Participants were encouraged to reflect on the values and assumptions embedded within biomedical approaches.
Our program had some limitations. Although a week-long seminar certainly provides ample time to learn knowledge and skills, this approach could not be compared with more longitudinal didactic training in cultural psychiatry. Evaluations used in the study were devised by the authors and could not be formally tested for reliability and validity because of a lack of standardized assessments for the measurement of change in cultural sensitivity after educational intervention. Also, we do not have outcome data and therefore cannot determine the long-term impact of our summer school training program on participants.
The 4th annual Howard–Dartmouth Collaborative Summer School is scheduled on June 11–15, 2012, at the Louis Stokes Library, Howard University, Washington, DC. Individuals interested in future sessions may e-mail: email@example.com for further information and registration.

Oct 18, 2011Absolutely fantastic and my personal favourite for the GOTY-title.
The world is rich, voice-acting is perfect, facial animations are great and the combat is fun and fluid, though not really challenging. What is challenging, is the choices you have to make which will change the game-world decisively.
One of the rare games I care to pick up twice to see more of it. -
May 25, 2012I was never able to really get into Witcher 1 for some reason, but the deficiencies, combat and plot advancement were all improved in Witcher 2. Skyrim and Witcher 2 were both tops on my list for 2011. The Enhanced Edition was even better and has added more replayability, and I appreciate that Projekt Red has actively grown and supported their games post-launch.
Jan 5, 2012
Apr 17, 2012My favorite game on the PC by far. Everything is great! Best graphics, story and gameplay in a game ever created. There is nothing like it on the consoles. Shame this game will be completely overlooked.
Oct 10, 2013A decent game with interesting gameplay; however not something that really sucked me in. Something about not being able to pick up an enchanted flaming sword and interesting new piece of armour that I could never get my head around, I'm a bit old fashioned that way.
Dec 30, 2012The best game of 2011 (IMO) and also one of the greatest RPG's of all time, I fail to pinpoint some major flaw. Everything here is top notch: story, characters, graphics, gameplay, sound, you name it.
The ONLY problem with the game is that it ends, leaving you wanting for more. -
Jan 4, 2013
May 18, 2011Excellent Game. Excellent RPG.
PC Power Hungry RPG too.
Graphics, Atmosphere, Ambiance..
Improvement over the original in nearly all aspects: graphics, gameplay, combat.. Refined and tuned.. Surpasses the good first sequel..
So many things to do and so many places to explore.
Geralt is charming too. You play an interesting character.
People take notes. This is how PC Gaming should be. -
May 19, 2011The Witcher 2 is an amazing experience. I'm on the second act now, and I haven't played an RPG with so many good things going for it in a long time. Depth, story, characters, graphics, items, crafting, traps... so much stuff you can do in this game. There's nothing quite like it that's out there right now, and this is easily RPG game of 2011, if not Game of the Year. Well done, CD Projekt Red.

May 29, 2011Absolutely not impressed! Frustrated and annoyed: that's how I felt during the first two hours of play. To me, this is NOT a good role playing game, but nevertheless, still a decent action/adventure game. I really don't see what could justify all these 9 and 10 ratings out there. This is probably the most overrated game of the year...
May 26, 2011
May 17, 2011This game is brilliant! Engaging combat, great story, awesome graphics, immersive surroundings, compelling dialogues, tasteful love interests... and I could go on and on with the praise, but I think I'll just go back to gaming.
May 24, 2011A beautiful living world with a fantastic non-linear story, can't ask anything more from an RPG. Combat took a bit of getting used to, as it's unforgiving to mistakes, but it makes it all the more rewarding and immersive as you need to plan before, and make the right decisions during combat.
There's only one thing that can challenge Witcher 2, and that's Skyrim. But I'll love them both. -
May 19, 2011This is a great game. The only problems I've had are with the controls/camera during combat which are unresponsive at times and the lack of a decent tutorial. Art work is excellent. Story is decent for a video game. All in all the game is worth picking up if you have a upper end PC.
May 28, 2011Simply an amazing title. Best story and graphics I have ever seen. GOTY 2011 hands down. Bioware might put some money in the market to make it not happen, but the people will know who the real winner is.

May 3, 2013
Jun 21, 2013Pretty epic game and improves upon The Witcher in several ways. The developers put a lot of time and effort into this game. Another AAA RPG that is best played on the PC
Dec 30, 2012Wow it looks like the Witcher 2 company paid someone to come in and post a bunch of positive reviews on this site. At best This is the same thing that Bioware tried to pull off with DA II, just better executed, but it is still light years away from great classics like Baldur Gates/Wizardy/Might and Magic/Elder Scroll series. Poor console port, lame combat and really long and annoying cut scenes
May 23, 2011So this is my second review here, TW2 is one of the best RPG games I've played - it has great graphics, good humor, nice story, animations and so on but on the second hand simply I can't give this game more than 7,5. CD Project Red I hope your next game will be better and thanks for TW2!
Apr 4, 2012
May 17, 2011
May 19, 2011The best $45 i ever wasted on the game, I think ima play it for a long time. SO much better then DA2 and even DA:O. The only flaw it has is that it needs a little more optimization, but a patch can fix that so i give it the highest score possible. Great game! A must buy!!
Jul 9, 2011Game of the year? Maybe... Rpg of the year? Hell yeah. The characters are intriguing, and the storyline is interesting to say the least. Geralt may be the single most badass protagonist ever made, and it becomes more and more apparent as the story unfolds. The graphics are phenomenal, sound is pitch perfect, and sound is top notch. Do yourself a favour and get this masterpiece immediately.
May 17, 2011
May 26, 2011This definitely is Game of the Year 2011. The single best RPG I have played since Planescape: Torment. The characters are deep and complex, the storyline develops depending on your actions and choices. It takes what was good from every single RPG released in the last 15 years and makes it into something better. The graphics are simply the best ever seen in an RP
Sep 27, 2011Great graphics, great story, great game. And no damn day on DLC either like some other game we all know. Hope Witcher 3 will have the same quality and awesomeness.
May 17, 2011that m_stannard guy is definitely a loser and probably a bioware developer if u look at his other reviews... I pity him so much that I cannot describe it in words. this game is totally awesome in every way.

Mar 5, 2013
May 13, 2012Fantastic game. Your decisions actually affect the story line (unlike some other disappointing rpgs of late). Combat is vastly improved over the first. The plot is a little complex on the first play through, but see it out and it all fits together nicely. I've only liked a few rpgs as much as this, defiantly fit to grace the shelf along with Morrowind, KOTOR, Mass effect 1.
May 22, 2011
May 19, 2011The Witcher 2 is one of those titles that instills confidence on the PC platform. Its nice to know that someone was paying attention and devoted so much attention to its detail.
Its been an exciting game so far, 6hrs into and look forward to many more hours. -
Jul 3, 2011
May 22, 2011Immersion, quality writing, mature choices that DO matter and the very best graphics seen on any video game to date. I could go on but I don't really think there's any need for me to. If you feel for quality RPG's even in the slightest, you will get this and spend a million happy hours lost in Temeria.

Amazing story.graphics,music and fighting mechanics.this game imprves on everything that the witcher 1 done and the witcher 1 was an amzing game in its own right go do yourself a favour and BUY this game,you will not regret it
May 23, 2011
Jun 5, 2011I never did play the first game and picked this one up on a whim. So glad I did though, this game is amazing. From the graphics and sound to the game play this is one of the better games I've ever played. Like another person on here stated this is what Dragon Age II should of been like. I'd defiantly have to put this in the running for game of the year.

Oct 9, 2011Overall a decent game, though I still find the first Witcher to be slightly better. Very nice graphics and the movie-like gameplay unfortunately do not cover up the fact that the game gets boring fast. Despite that, in my opinion it deserves a strong 7.0.

May 17, 2011Game looks absolutely fantastic. Dialogue is immersive and well written. m_stannard is a gelatinous, buttperturbed jackass who is super mad DA2 sucked dick.
May 18, 2011
May 27, 2011What do you need to know? this is NOT Dragon Age 2 , there is no copy paste or dumbed down gameplay, this is a great contender for game of the year since mass effect 3 is expected to show next year, but judging by dragon age 2 you can fear it WILL be dumbed and its quality compromised, contrary to the witcher 2.
Jul 1, 2011This game is the best game to come out in 2011. The good: Graphics are amazing, Voice acting is very good, Storyline is very intriguing. The bad - who am I kidding? nothing is bad in this game!
Dec 15, 2011This is without a doubt my pick for "Game of the Year." Gameplay, dialogue, and characters are all incredibly deep, and the decisions you make have a profound impact on the remainder of the game. Any negative points I could add would be nothing more than nitpicking.

May 21, 2011A truly epic game which takes the original game and improves on it in every way. Everything about it is excellent and worthy of Game of the Year for 2011.

Jul 14, 2012As good as RPG games get PERIOD. Anyone who says otherwise either has a sub-par rig or is a severely butt-hurt Biodrone.
Also, it actually pushes tech. REAL gamers who invest in their hobby can look to TW2 to fully utilize their superior hardware. -
May 17, 2011*No crappy DRM
*Free DLCs
*No "item" nonsense that comes with preorders and childish games played to get orders.
*Actual content
*Digital Collector's Edition for 45 U.S. dollars compared to other games that charge $60+
On top of all that this is a great game. I wouldn't call it GOTY yet because there are many great games coming out in 2011, but it should be up there in the running. -
May 15, 2012One of the best rpg what I have played ever. great stroytelling, a complette fight system although doesnt be easy to use. Great charachters, great quests. guess there was some points where the game wasnt perfect but now with EE this game became to near perfect. :)
Jun 3, 2011This game is short of flaws. As soon as it's picked up, it pulls you in. Immense story. Great characters. Amazing enviroment. Slightly linear, but easily overlooked. Definite contender for GOTY.

May 20, 2011The best RPG game i have ever played. This is truly a epic masterpiece. The environment is so amazing and and mind blowing, its just blows all the other RPG games out of the water. The villages / cities are so alive and full of life that you can spend hours just walking completely immersed in the game.

May 23, 2011Excellent game, worth the money + they really pushed the boat out with basic hard copy extras! Well done guys keep it up! cant wait for the witcher 3. lol @ how well the boobs and vagina have been textured, obviously very well researched! On a side note, love how they have used the northern irish accent! good too see that we are rubbing off on the polish that come to live/visit here!
Jun 4, 2011Let's look at this game for what it is and try and dispel a few unworthy comparisons; firstly for the newcomers to the Witcher series, yes I think it does help if you've played the first one - one of the better decision based RPGs (where small decision mattered and could affect gameplay) and no, it didn't copy DA:O -- it was 2 years before, weâ

Aug 21, 2011It's one of the best RPG I've ever played.Graphics,characthers and story is amazing!Alchemy and crafting are very useful.There are a lot of things that you can do.
Aug 29, 2011
Aug 29, 2011This is an extremely nice game. If you are into a good story and want to think a little bit and enjoy good graphics, this is a game for you. You can see that the guys from Poland still remember what an enjoyable and challenging game should look like.

Oct 21, 2011Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. A true, polished diamond. Watch and learn Bioware. [May 2011]
Sep 14, 2011The Witcher 2 easily stands amongst the big boys in the CRPG crowd and is also the best Action RPG to come out since Mass Effect 2.
Sep 7, 2011The Witcher 2 offers awesome sword fights, cool graphics, charming characters, a compelling story, lots of bare skin and a decent shot of vulgar conversations. Damn good.

Here's a look at a very detailed drawing of the one from the game: http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/64010/assassin3_qjpreviewth.jpg
Originally, I got the plans from Wesley Scoggins on IndyMogul.com. I modified it a little, but kept the same basic structure/ provided more detail. Here's the website if you want it: http://www.indymogul.com/post/7272/wesleys-weekly-how-to-retractable-wrist-blade
Here's a video of it in action:
Let's get started!
Step 1: Supplies
3 Toilet Paper tubes-Free or $5 at Taco Bell
Pack of Paper Fasteners-$1.29
Foam Board-$3
2 Rubber Bands
X-Acto Knife
Paper Clamp-$.50
Can of Silver Spray Paint
Duct Tape
Step 2: Making the Blade
Then, cut out your blade using your knife. Use a ruler to give it a nice, straight edge.
Take it outside and give it a nice coat of silver spray paint. Don't over do it though! You don't want any runs. I found that foam board dries surprisingly quickly, so by the time I got it back up to my dorm, it was already dry to touch. Once one side is dry, flip it over and do up the other side.
Now let it all dry for a bit while you work on the arm part.
Step 3: Working on the Arm Bracelet Thing
Set one aside and put the other two together.
Cut/poke a small slit through both rolls, about big enough for a brass fastener. Insert said fasteners.

I'm working on trying to make it pop out with a flick of the wrist like in the games.
Hope that explains it a bit. If not, watch the video at the beginning.
The clamp...that feels pretty self explanatory. You just open it like you would any other clamp.

Craftwood Inn
Online Reservations
My wife and I ate dinner here on a Monday night. And we loved it! The service was great, and the food was just as good. We started with the charcuterie plate with shaved elk, smoked duck breast ham, and wild game patê. The next course was the olive oil marinated watermelon salad with pop rocks (yes, pop rocks!). And then we had the kangaroo filet with crispy pork belly, and that was wonderfully juicy and flavorful kangaroo! My only complaint was the fact that this is an upscale restaurant, and they don't enforce a dress code. I don't think kids wearing hoodies and sagging jeans to dinner is acceptable. They should have been turned away at the door. Overall, it was a great meal and a great night.
Our dining experience was most enjoyabley! We were greeted as we walked up to the host stand. Your staff are all wonderfully sweet. We needed to wait for the remainder of our party so we were taken to the bar area.The bar itself is pretty, but the room needs a bit more added to make it liveble. It just seemed empty and not very attractive. Enjoyed looking at the canoe so I certainly would keep that. Paul
This is our favorite place to eat and with the fresh sourcing of seasonal ingredients and vegetables, we are always pleasantly surprised by the dishes brought to our table. Highly recommended!!!
I've been to the Craftwood in a few times now and it is always an enjoyable experience. The waiters are always very attentive and knowledgeable. This is especially nice for some diners that may not be familiar with food that isn't mainstream. For instance: ostrich, kangaroo, etc. I dine out a lot and have had many types of food but it still had a couple of things on the menu I had not tried yet which was refreshing. The ambience was nice, it does get busy and louder during normal dining times so if you prefer a quieter atmosphere I'd recommend going on the early or late side, the tables are a bit too close together for my taste. I've had some very bad experiences with both and The Craftwood Inn has very nice food.
It is very expensive but the food is sooo good it is worth it. Just cant afford to eat here but for special occations. The chef can cook the best game flavors. Would really like to eat here more often.
Craftwood Inn is a wonderful place to take that special someone or for a special occasion. Be prepared to spend a little money but the distict dishes they offer are well worth the price. Great wine list.....great atmosphere.
Unfortunately we were seated over the upstairs air conditioning vent. Although the food was quite good the ambience was disappointing due to being cold for the whole time we were there. Additionally the server, although he tried hard and was pleasant, was clearly overwhelmed
This was by far one of the best meals, in one of the best restaurants, with by far some of the best service my husband and I have ever had. We had an amazing meal, were able to have a conversation, and our waiter was fantastic. We will be going back soon.
The experience was spot on although there are some spice to food parings that were different; goat cheese on black forest cake, apricot sauce on wild boar. The meats were tender and cooked to order.
Craftwood specializes in a variety of game meats such as elk, kangaroo, wild boar, alligator, etc and they do ALL of them very well. This is fine dining with a game meat twist and Executive Chef Brother Luck (yes, you read that right and it is his real name) does an amazing job presenting every plate. Levi was our waiter and he did an incredible job. He has extensive food and wine knowledge, is very professional and has a great personality. If you are in or near Colorado Springs, you MUST go to The Craftwood Inn. We will definitely be back!
Not since my visit to Stockholm's Mathias Dahlgren a few months back have I had such a wonderful dining experience. The delightful restaurant is situated smack in the heart of the beautiful Pike's Peak area with a million dollar view. The staff is friendly and attentive with an attention to detail second to none. Will certainly be back again and again.
We were visiting Colorado at the time of my Wife's birthday, and decided to try the Craftwood Inn on the day itself, after a recommendation from the barman at our hotel. We could not have been happier with our evening. It was brilliant!! The food was fantastic, the service very attentive, and the setting fantastic. Thank you very much for a wonderful evening.
Levy was our waiter and was simply excellent. The four of us had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely return to the Craftwood Inn.
Several years ago we dined at the Craftwood Inn and found the experience memorable, for all the right reasons. We live several hours away, so it is not a usual stop. A friend and I decided to celebrate my husband's birthday with a special dinner, and again it was quite wonderful. We started with perfect martinis, followed with a shared plate of rabbit terrine, shaved elk, duck breast and several condiments. Our entrees were lamb, buffalo short ribs and muscovy duck breast with foie gras--all cooked perfectly, with appropriate garnish and accompaniments. The bread was just as good as it should have been. The wine list offered an excellent red to accompany the meal. Wish we lived closer, we'd be a permanent fixture.
We've been to Craftwood Inn many times and it's always a favorite. Love the menu for it's eclectic variety of choices from the appetizers through the main course. The wild boar this time was exceptional. Greta place to take friends from out of town for a unique local experience.
We were visiting the Manitou Springs area and decided to have 1 "nice" meal while we were there. We took our 5 year old son, which concerned us when we arrived due to the fact it was very quiet that night. We asked to eat outside, which was a great idea all the way around. It was a beautiful mountain view and we even saw some deer grazing in the courtyard below us. I enjoyed the 4 course meal upgrade to the bass and scallops. My meal was delicious. My husband had the tenderloin and said it was cooked perfectly. We had the tapas dish for an appetizer so we got to try a variety of wild game meats. Overall its a nice place for a fine dining experience.
If you go for your birthday celebration (you have to visit on your actual birthday), make sure you have signed up for their e-club a few days prior, because they will send you a free coupon. Our coupon said that it was for a free entree. However, when we arrived, we were told by our waiter that it was only for $30 off, and there are very few items at that price. Many are $35-45. It seemed like all the tables were there for a birthday, because they brought just about every table something with a candle. Unfortunately, they nearly forgot about us at the beginning (we already knew what we wanted, and waited about 15-20 minutes for our waiter) and didn't get any bread until after our appetizer portion. All in all, though, a good 2 hours spent
Wow, great food and atmosphere! Perfect for a date with your wife! We will be back!
We had an opportunity to have an adult night out, no kids, and this was an awesome night. Staff was very attentive, food was excellent.
We arrived early (actually before they opened) and they seated us and brought us drinks right away. We soaked in the beautiful view before having scrumptous dinner. Two of us had the quail, rabbit, duck combo while the other had the elk, wild boar, ??. All was great. The add on for salad, sorbet and dessert was well worth it. Great friends, great view and wonderful food topped off by super service. Always a great time at the Craftwood Inn.
An excellent restaurant with a unique menu and notable wine list. I recommend enjoying a nice dinner and bottle of wine on the patio.
We tried some really unusual items and they were absolutely delicious. The pheasant risotto was a perfect appetizer and both the water melon and mozzarella salads were very different, surprising complex in flavor, and absolutely scrumptious! My favorite meal was the melt in your mouth short ribs with cheesy grits and mango chutney. We passed on the dessert as we were all very satisfied and the only thing that may have tempted us would have been a rich chocolately creation, but that was not on the menu. Lot's a fabulous fruit inspired items like a blueberry upside down cake, lime cheesecake, orange mousse and watermelon soup. The service was perfect ... we never had to ask for a thing. This is a bit pricey, but worth every penny!
We've been visiting the Craftwood Inn for birthdays and anniversaries for eight years now, ever since we had our wedding reception there. The servers are some of the most professional I've ever encountered, and we can't ever get over how wonderful the food is. The menus change and the time and care the chefs put into each one is amazing every time. Thank you for always making our trips to the Craftwood memorable!
Overall the dining was very nice. My wife enjoyed the lamb and soup. The desert was also very good. However, I had the Bufalo Brisket and it wass awful. It was extremely dry and had no flavor at all. As a Pro BBQer I know what needs to be done with a difficult piece of meat. They don't. I would go back but would stay away from the Buffalo Brisket.
Great experience! Food was fantastic, service was spot on. Brian was awesome. Knowledgeable and friendly. S'more bombe for dessert was the highlight of the meal.
My wife and I took a vacation to Colorado for our anniversary, and wanted to eat somwhere that was "Natively Colorado". This restraunt was an excellent choice. Their signature Elk dish is amazing (I would highy recommend it), and the view of Pikes Peak is breathtaking (especially for Kansas dwellers like us).
This is the place my parents dined on special occasions back in the 1950s and I remembered it when I returned to live in Colorado 20+ years ago. Your food is outstandingly prepared and the service is always fantastic.
We brought my brother and his wife who were visiting. We were hoping for a different restaurant experience. The ambiance and service was very nice. The food was prepared beautifully and nice size portions. We ordered a sampler plate so we could taste several of the meets we've never had. We liked them all - Elk, Boar sausage, and pate. We didn't care for the duck, but that's probably our taste buds. The lamp, scallops, boar meat and kangaroo were all very good.
As someone that loves trying new things it was an instant challenge trying to decide between such rare items as kangaroo, ostrich, boar and elk. I opted for the kangaroo which the server did warn was not as tender as beef. He was right, it wasn't. It was tasty even though I felt it was a tad overcooked. My friend's steak was also overcooked. The dish came with medallions of yam that were grilled but had very little flavor so I'd suggest the chef get a bit more creative with seasonings. The only other thing I found odd was that they sat those that were there as couples right near a large group that was quite noisy when there were other areas of the restaurant that would have been more conducive to enjoying a romantic evening.
This will be a pricey night out, but the food is amazing, try the kangaroo! However, the service was really the highlight of the night. Brian was our server and he was a real foodie with great suggestions!! An amazing night out.
One of our party requires a gluten free diet, and the facility provided many options as well as bread made specifically for those with Celiac Disease.
If you are looking for a place to show off Colorado to out of state visitors or to woo your significant other, this is the perfect place. The professional staff, exotic entrees, extensive wine list, and superb desserts were expected from what I heard and read about the Craftwood Inn. But the cozy outdoor setting, nestled in the mountainside trees, with deer casually strolling by marked this as a truly special place. Thank you for helping to make my wife's birthday a memorable occasion!
Lovely meal. Had to eat fast, because of the cool night wind on the corner table in front on porch. The wine service is excellent and it was a highlight in the evening. The rabbit was wonderful and the lemon verbena cream brûlée was heaven.
Craftwood Inn specializes in wild game including Red Deer, Boar, Elk, and Kangaroo, just to name a few. The menu rotates depending on season and availability, but my all time favorite has been on the menu since my first visit - the Ostrich. I'm a steak and potatoes loving Iowa boy, and I have never had a steak that is so juicy, tender, and well seasoned. With all the fix-in's that come with the main course, I've never left the Craftwood Inn hungry - always my first choice for my birthday dinner, or whenever I'm looking for something a little different.
this is one of my favorite place to eat in Manitou Springs. Always a great time! The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and they make you feel very welcome. The wild game is our main draw to dining here. We enjoy the multi-choices you can enjoy in 1 entre'.
My husband and I have been here before, and we have NEVER been disapointed. The food is always amazing, the wait staff is friendly and very helpful in helping you choose the right wine for the entrée you picked. I would definetly recommend this resturaunt to a friend . We can't wait to return again !
If you are looking to try something new as a menu choice this is the place for you. They also have beautiful fireplace and it is very romantic. Service is superb!
Although nothing went wrong and the food was good, (fried quail wasn't all that exciting however), it seemed like we were in a fancy funeral home. The squeaky floors, the awkward silence in the back room with an older couple, the smoky smell from the waiter.. it just seemed weird. Had we been in one of the first rooms it may not have been this way, but the back room was definitely off. As I said, the food was good, the prices were high- but worth it, it was just the atmosphere that was off.
We have eaten there twice, first for our anniversary and then for my wife's birthday and both times we had five star service and dining. The staff took in to account my notes stating so and treated us like royalty. This has to be the best restaurant I've eaten at and would compare it to the 5 star restaurant service and food to our Vegas dining experience. Thanks.
We did the four course option. They did not have the Kangaroo steaks but substituted well with the Red Deer. I had the Pheasant and everything was wonderful and a great experience. I would recommend this for a special occasion or a romantic night out.
We really enjoyed the unique variety of game and all of our choices were excellent.
The food is great and so is the service. I highly recommend you try the Craftwood Inn. It is so quiet in the dining room that it might make you self conscious when you are speaking. I would recommend they get a little more background noise going on somehow. Maybe some barking dogs or ambulance sirens... The food is expensive (but worth it) so plan on dropping $100 for 2 people. If you want wine with your meal you will easily hit $150 or more (we had one app, 2 entrees, 1 dessert and a bottle of wine for $150). Do try this place for a special meal, you wont regret it.
a great place to go for a special evening or just a change of pace. everyone is friendly, even when they were busy. food is very good with lots of options even the wild game selection was very good. didn't know what to expect with the octrich, but we were very pleased. food was cooked to perfection. will definately go back for more.
While our experience was unique, impressive and overall superb, I'm not so sure we would return based mainly on the rather high prices for the food and drink provided. For example, $65 for a screw-on top bottle of German Reisling that is rated only Qualitswein vs. Qualitswein mit Pradikat.....and 3 small lamb chops for $36.....but only 2 normal bites for $12/chop. To be fair, however, flavor and tenderness were outstanding. Nice and exciting to visit once for the experience, but our return is questionable.
Just an all around wonderful place! Great food, awesome service and a romantic setting.
The food and service was everything we wanted. We joined another couple for their local "bucket list" dining experience and they were not disappointed. This was our 4th visit and we were not disappointed. The portions were generous and the quality was outstanding.
We had a great location near the fireplace & the dim lights & soft music made for outstanding ambience. The waiter was very attentive but not hovering. We ordered drinks but shortly after I asked to change mine which the waiter did very willingly and promptly. We ordered the 4 course dinner with mushroom soup, strawberry sorbet, 2 filets and chocolate mousse. Everything was very good and the filets tender but we felt the medium & medium rare filets were slightly overcooked. There were only a few couples dining that evening & it started out very quiet & enjoyable but within 30 minutes the ambience was totally disrupted by a trio seated next to us who were very loud and obnoxious. Although a nice restaurant, that really ruined the occasion.
loved the food, loved the atmosphere, the servers were great (friendly, but no overly so, efficient, knowledgeable)
A foodie goes where the great food is. We had an excellent meal, classically prepared, executed and delicious. They are known for wild game and did not disappoint. I recommend the Craftwood wild grill that served a hearty portion of boar, elk and ostrich. My husband had the elk chops. We shared a lot. As it was our anniversary we were offered a complimentary glass of champagne. Nice touch. Though the young hostess was initially going to place us at a table next to the banquet room, she was accommodating to move us to the cozier fireplace room. The service was impeccable as you'd expect in a great restaurant. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful in selection. My disappointment came with the decor, it could use some sprucing up.
My wife and I have hit every fine dining restaurant I CS and craftwood is now perched on top. Price was same as Walters bistro(also excellent), with a more creative menu. Best dining experience in the springs.

We buy renovate.
Tenant and sell quickly so will be out well before any kind of market turned up right thank you for coming on -- -- -- having us thank you.

Marcel BreuerWassily Chair, 1925
The Wassily Chair was designed in 1925 and seems to be his more experimental phase in design. The actual piece was inspired by the shape and form of bicycle handlebars and was made for Wassily Kandinsky, an influential Russian painter and art theorist of the time. The frame was made from tubular steel which later became chrome plated and the seat came in a black canvas, fabric or leather. Obviously this specific shape has been copied many times but they're not a scratch on the original, these chairs were purely functional and have the qualities of being hygienic, comfortable and most importantly cheap for the masses.

freddy and_lowe |
Capt. Freddy Futch, an island native and descendant of both the Futch and Lowe families, recounted that his great-grandfather Futch was on the ship that delivered the timbers for the lighthouse at the south end of the island in 1890. His family had been in the Charlotte Harbor area for decades before, though.
Futch's great-grandparents lived on Punta Blanca. They had one child in 1860, but when he was 3 years old his mother died. His father buried her on Cayo Costa. He then sent his son, Cicero Franklin Futch, to a customs agent friend in Key West and took up smuggling and running mules for the Confederacy. He was captured by the Union and sent to Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas for the duration of the Civil War.
When he was freed he discovered that Cicero had moved to Cuba when his adoptive father was transferred there. Fortunately, he was soon transferred back to Florida, to a station in Tampa.
In 1881, Cicero returned to Charlotte Harbor, and the Futch family has been here since. In 1912, he began fishing at the north end of the island.
Capt. Futch's parents met on Gasparilla Island when they were 16 years old. They were married that year and one year later, in 1919, they greeted the first of their six children.
His father, Rayford 'Shug' Futch, worked as a commercial fisherman and raised his family in Gasparilla Village on the north end of the island. Back then, the biggest thrill of the day was going to the IGA store owned by Mr. Cole and buying a piece of penny candy. This was followed by a trip to the icehouse to eat ice, a treat in a place where the homes had no electricity.
Going to the fish house where Mr. Gault always kept a few bushels of oranges usually ended the day. Illicit oranges were the final treat before heading home.
At the height of WWII in 1942, Futch's father volunteered for the Coast Guard. He was followed into the service by three of his sons. All four came home safe at the end of the war. Freddy Futch had to wait a while, though, since he was too young for military duty. He did his four years during the Korean War, also for the Coast Guard.
Shug Futch dipped his toe into local politics once, but the nickname bestowed by his sister cost him the race. He had to run as Rayford Futch and no one recognized him when they saw the name on the ballot.
Capt. Futch's mother was Pearl Lowe. Her parents came from the Bahamas. Futch's grandfather, Thomas Wilson Lowe, ran away from home at 14 and grew up on a ship from Key West. He eventually came ashore on Gasparilla Island. He worked running supplies up and down the west coast of Florida and taking shiploads of mullet to Cuba.
His grandmother was also from the Bahamas. She moved with her family to Key West, where she met Mr. Lowe.
The Lowes were also involved in the construction of the lighthouse. When the original lamp was being moved from the ship that delivered it onto shore it was dropped into the water. Mr. Lowe had to dive in to retrieve it. A second attempt to get it onto dry land was more successful.
Futch's Grandma Lowe was a fisherwoman herself. Each morning after baking Bahamian "light bread" and cleaning the kitchen, she would take her fishing pole and potato sack out to the water to catch dinner.
Capt. Futch remembered that he would run around like an idiot on the beach, trying to catch fiddler crabs that she used for bait.
In 1956, after college and his tour of duty in Korea, Freddy came back to Gasparilla Island and and began acting as a fishing guide.
Some of his more famous clients included Carol Burnett, General Walter Bedell Smith, Lee Meriwether, and German Chancellor Willy Brandt.
Chancellor Brandt caused quite a stir when he visited the island. The Secret Service came out hours beforehand to inspect Capt. Futch's boat. There was a machine gunner perched on the roof of the Hotel. And just before he arrived they announced that they would need a second boat.
They went to see the island cop, Capt. Johns Knight. He was happy to let them use the Sheriff's boat with himself acting as captain. He offered to provide bait for the Secret Service to fish with, but they kindly declined his offer.
They spent a few hours in the Pass, and then headed back into the Harbor. Capt. Futch looked over and saw Capt. Knight breaking out the fishing poles. By then, Chancellor Brandt had caught a 40-pound tarpon, and was very pleased with his efforts.
Just as the Chancellor decided that he was ready to head in for the day, the Secret Service agents hooked a tarpon. Capt. Futch delayed long enough for them to land the fish. It was a 100-pounder.
The party returned to the dock, keeping the larger fish hidden from the Chancellor. After he was photographed with his tarpon, Chancellor Brandt stepped into his limo, leaving behind a cloud of dust as he left the island. Then the Secret Service agents brought their fish to the dock to have pictures taken.
Capt. Futch was full of tales of both his childhood and adulthood on Gasparilla Island. He is now a great-grandfather, and his family is passing on the stories. If you want to know more about the Futch and Lowe families of Gasparilla Island, stop by the Historical Society in the teacherage on 2nd and Park Avenue.
Next week will bring a special History Bytes at the Community Center Auditorium at 9:30 a.m. Dr. Carl Wise will be discussing the 16th Century and the history of the Spanish Empire in Florida. Be sure to mark your calendar for the correct time and place.

"Palace size bed"
We enjoyed our stay.

"Wonderful stay in Santiago"
We were quite pleased with our stay at Plaza El Bosque San Sebastián. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable for a family. The location felt safe and quiet, with many restaurants in the area.

We stayed for 4 days before traveling to La Serena and Vina del Mar. On the way back to Santiago, we decided to stay at El Bosque San Sebastian again for our last night. We were traveling with kids, so it was nice to have the suite so we had enough room to spread out. The hotel staff were very helpful and if you called for anything, someone was at your […] door within minutes. This is a great place to stay because of the extra room and the kitchen.

The room is in fact a small but very comfortable apartment, very clean and well located. We were only disappointed by the fact that we were told that the price paid online did not include taxes so we had to pay taxes additionally to what we had already paid to your site. In addition, there were some difficulties to obtain an early check-in and the check-in […] time is very late (3pm!), our flight arrived in the country at 7am, so waiting so long was not nice for us.

The suite was surprising in its size and decor -- both were exceptional. There was an ample living room/dining room and full kitchen while the bedroom was huge and comfortable.

I stayed here before and after an MBA program trip. The hotel the school had booked was close by but much more expensive so I decided to stay here. I loved it!

The hotel is in Very nice part of this city. It is close to shopping and many great restaurants. The complementary breakfast is not very good.The scrambled eggs were about the worst I have ever experienced and the bacon was undercooked. But the fruit was cress and the coffee was pleasant. Over all the hotel was great but the Gym was terrible. There […] are no free weights and the all in one weight machine predates Arnold's Olympian titles. The tread mill was a waste of time and the entire Gym is about the size of a walk in closet. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that does not care to stay fit while away from home. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

We had a great time staying at this hotel. The room was large, and included a kitchen. The room was a little run down and might have needed a little TLC, but there was a note stating that the hotel would be closed for renovation from December-February. The room had a small balcony, and the bed was comfy. The only bad part about the room was that the […] shower did not drain properly. What makes this place such a gem is the people working for the hotel. The concierge we dealt with most often spoke great English and helped us with so many things, from booking tours, to assisting us with our rental car, even though none of our bookings were actually through the hotel. Also, the breakfast, which was part of the room rate, was great!!! The hotel is just a short walk from the local subway station, right in the heart of the business district, and close to several shops and restaurants. It is also just a few blocks from some nice parks, where we ran a few miles and used some work out machines. Great experience! I think once this place is renovated, it will be 5 stars across the board! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Steve Rosen, recently terminated as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's (AIPAC) policy director in the wake of an FBI investigation, expects to be indicted as soon as June, according to sources who know the case.
Rosen has suggested to sources that if he were indicted, he would want an opportunity to clear his name. Rosen expects that a trial could begin as early as January 2006 and already is preparing for a long defense, according to multiple sources.
Along with AIPAC's former senior Iran analyst, Keith Weissman, and former Pentagon Iran analyst Larry Franklin, Rosen has been targeted by the FBI's counterintelligence division for allegedly verbally passing classified information to Israel.
