Technically, the U.N. complex is international territory, but that doesn't mean you get immunity when you enter (so don't steal from the Delegates Dining Room buffet). The striking, 39-story Secretariat Building (designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer) is the complex's most eye-catching structure, but it's not open to the public. Visitors can instead tour the midcentury assembly room whenever dignitaries aren't using it, or enjoy free art in the lobby. The U.N. even has its own post office, but the personalized stamps sold there are only good if mailed from that spot.

Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Turkey will reduce its dependence on natural gas imports from Russia, its biggest fuel provider, and cut energy costs with the construction of two nuclear plants, Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said.
Three to four years of gas imports totaling as much as $7 billion annually to power electricity plants will cover the cost of the two facilities, to be built on Turkey's Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts, Yildiz said today at a conference in Ankara, according to state-run Anatolia news agency.
"We're reducing our dependence on foreign providers by establishing nuclear power plants with this money," Yildiz said. He said the Russian firms that will build the Akkuyu facility in the southern province of Mersin are investing $700 million in the first phase of the $20 billion project.
Turkey is seeking to diversify its energy sources, as oil and gas imports make up about half of the country's $90 billion trade deficit through October. A disagreement with OAO Gazprom over discounts led to the cancellation of a contract for as much as 6 billion cubic meters of annual gas purchases from Russia.
Rosatom Corp. and Atomstroyexport ZAO were picked by the Turkish government to build the country's first nuclear power plant.

Ghost on the Bookcase, Free Energy From Sweden?, "Horizon" Effective!, The Wings of Jafar, Power Crystals, and Yellow Bamboo in Retreat.
At the beginning of this month, in the UK, The Guardian newspaper ran an interesting item about one Alfred Mansbridge, 69, who lives in Millbrook, Southampton. He is, the report said, unshakeable in his belief that things do not "go bump in the night." Sounds like my kind of guy.
This chap was hearing a tiny, tinny, voice which clearly said, "I won't take the lift down." A "lift," for many of us, is what we'd call an elevator. The voice was disturbing, and every morning for three months, just before 2am, it would repeat its message in a tinny monotone for 15 seconds, then cease. Sometimes, reported Mr. Mansbridge, it seemed to come from the lounge, sometimes from upstairs. But his daughter Joanne, who visits him most days, never heard it! Neither did his next door neighbors. A prime mystery!
Mr. Mansbridge tape-recorded it, just to prove he wasn't dotty. Reported The Guardian, the website Paranormal News, alongside other items headed "Virgin Mary Hits Sydney Beach Again" and "Does Saddam Have a Crashed UFO?" also featured the story. His grandson, Joshua, thought the mystery was just great.
There was talk of exorcism, but Mr. Mansbridge was not going to ask the local vicar to come around and chant, prance, wave incence, and sprinkle holy water about, to try to get rid of evil spirits. But he maintained that his experience was real. "I'm not going mad," he insisted, "This is a genuine mystery."
The poor guy finally called in the "ghostbusters," the local environmental health staff, and on a bookcase in Mr. Mansbridge's lounge they discovered a children's Spider-Man watch. Joanne, it turned out, had bought it for Joshua and his sister Katie at a Millbrook food store. Someone had by mistake set the alarm, which then played a catchphrase from the Spiderman film at 1:55am, every night. The watch had simply been left on a bookcase and forgotten.
That night, said The Guardian, "Mr. Mansbridge was preparing to sleep the deep sleep of the brave and the pragmatic."
See, folks? There can be quite unextraordinary solutions to so many of these "hauntings" and other miracles. We need more skeptics like Mr. Alfred Mansbridge, who didn't jump to supernatural conclusions, called in the experts, and had the mystery satisfactorily explained.
Reader Carl Lindstrand tells us:
As you may recall I am a Swedish citizen, an attorney by profession, and an admirer of your work ever since I first heard of your skeptical efforts.
In reference to your recent comments regarding Mr. Thomas Bearden's so-called invention, I would like to alert you that "Illustrerad Vetenskap" (http://www.illustreradvetenskap.com) the largest Swedish publication within the field of popular science (and as such not known to be very critical of its sources, granted) ran an article on Mr. Bearden's "research" in its latest issue (No. 2/2003). The abstract (which can be found here: http://www.illustreradvetenskap.com/200302/content200302.asp#7953 Swedish only, sorry) reads:
Scientists are working on a revolution for the Planet's energy supply: Energy from nothing.
Sad, but true. I also alerted Mr. Hanno Ess�n (http://www2.mech.kth.se/~hanno/), associate professor in theoretical physics of the Swedish Royal Technical Institute (http://www.kth.se/eng/) and vice-chairman of the Swedish Skeptical Society (F�reniningen Vetenskap och Folkbildning http://www.folkvett.nu).
He also informs me and you may find this interesting that there is in fact also a Swedish patent for a perpetual motion machine (http://www.nyteknik.se/skrivUt.asp?art_id=19759) by a certain Mr. Vladimir Kangas. Apparently the Swedish Patent and Registration Office (www.prv.se) has claimed that they lack the resources to make the proper control calculations in order to assess whether Mr. Kangas' claim is correct. Mr. Ess�n has written Mr. Kangas and explained to him why the apparatus, in Mr. Ess�n's opinion, cannot work. However, Mr. Kangas has, perhaps not surprisingly, not responded.
Please do, Carl. Can't ever get enough perpetual motion/free energy machines, you know!
Dr. Martin Bland is a professor of Medical Statistics at St. George's Hospital Medical School, London. He was the statistician for the BBC "Horizon" show's comprehensive attempt to replicate the famous Benveniste homeopathic experiment which was so happily embraced by the quack community. Professor Bland provides this welcome news:
My son told me that his supervisor was heard telling a new PhD student that she should do all her measurements blind. The reason for this was the Horizon program, which had convinced him of the importance of blinding in the lab! He didn't know that one of the participants had sired one of his students.
Agreed, Dr. Bland! I'll add that the recent discoveries in the UK that "arnica," a popular "alternative" treatment, is useless, has been amplified by the effect of the BBC Horizon program. News releases on the research cited the Horizon show. It appears that their efforts have been quite effective!
Also, BBC producer Nathan Phillips tells me:
The program also got a mention in The Times on Monday. As you say, a bigger response than we could have predicted. Also, we're pushing for a repeat in the Spring . . . a really big response to the program . . . much wider response than I had envisaged.
Now we can only hope that WGBH Boston, which so often picks up Horizon shows as "Nova" material for PBS, will choose to show USA audiences this effective presentation.
My definition of the word, "angel" in the now-on-the-Internet version of my book, "An Encyclopedia of the Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural" attracted the attention of reader Munir Nassar, who gives us what he describes as "a more plausible explanation based on Arabic/Islamic Mythology." He writes:
During the Islamic expansion there was a soldier named Jafar who during one battle saw the standard fall, so he rushed forward to pick it up, and as he did so, got his arm cut off. So he picked up the standard with his other arm no mention of why he was not killed outright the first time. His other arm then got cut off in the battle, so he hugged the standard with his stumps until he finally got killed.
Well, Munir, that might well be the case. As good as any other reason, I would say.
Reader Benedict Carey, from the UK as well as a few others, notably Hal Bidlack corrected the origins I gave for "Vladimir Matveev, an inventor of Uzbek, Tashkent," Says Benedict:
I think you mean, "Vladimir Matveev, an inventor from Tashkent, Uzbekistan," or possibly "Vladimir Matveev, an Uzbek inventor from Tashkent." The surname appears Uzbeki, you see. Otherwise, the original is a bit geographically challenged.
Okay. I even thought at one time that Paris was in Kentucky or Tenessee, that Lima was in Illinois or Ohio, Berlin was in Georgia or North Dakota, and London was in Arkansas or Ontario, Canada. (Please don't write to tell me they are, or provide the other locations! Thanks.)
Benedict also comments:
Great column, by the way, I have been feverishly reading all your material since your work on homeopathic claims last year (television program this side of the pond). [The BBC Horizon show.] Very refreshing to someone working so hard on debunking the anti-science crowd.
Benedict Carey is a Senior Analyst/Programmer.
As you read this, I'm away in South Korea again testing paranormal claims for Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS). The very loud and insulting people with the "Yellow Bamboo" group in Bali, who screeched that I was afraid to test their ridiculous claims on that program, have fallen silent. Obviously they felt it wiser to wait until this evil person was once again back home far away in Florida, rather than continuing their strident complaints and attracting attention to themselves. After all, they manage to take in lots of locals and foreigners who have no knowledge of the trickery involved, and apparently are unable to observe the very plain proof of the scam which they proudly display on their website, www.yellowbamboo.com
Go there and see just how silly their claims are. They say they can "knock down attackers from 10 feet away or heal someone dying from something just using [their] own energy." Sure. Can't think of an easier claim to test! Knock me down that way, or let me throw a few cobras in with one of the followers.... Hey, that's science!
Yellow Bamboo tells us that it is "an official magic, healing and self defense association founded in Bali with over 30,000 members worldwide." And they ask, "How would you like to control the entire universe, both what goes within you and what happens with others?" Sign me up! But they really won me with this claim: "Whether you desire love, money, fortune, fame, godliness, holiness etc whatever you want Yellow Bamboo provides." No mention of Sophia Loren, but they did say, "whatever you want."
Yellow Bamboo, you're fakes and welshers. Put up or shut up. As I told you several weeks ago, I'll be staying at the New Manhattan Hotel, 13-3, Yeoido-Dong, Youngdeungpo-Gu, Seoul, South Korea. Phone : (+662) 913-6030, Fax: (+813) 45123002. I can be reached via e-mail, too, as you well know. A million dollars, YB! All yours!
Some supporters, a Griffin Orr, and Alvin G. Donovan III (?), are now calling me a "faker" because I won't run off to Bali to test them, when SBS has offered to go there and do so. Their chief miracle-worker is a Pak Nyoman Seringen. Hey, Pak! Where are you?
Hello? Hello? Anyone there?
Reader Satia Narjadin, commenting on Yellow Bamboo, writes that they are:
. . . another one of those groups that can, allegedly, wield supernatural powers. Indonesia is full of these crackpot groups, and some of these even claim that they can put curses on anyone (for the right price, of course). There are so many stories of the supernatural here that any sceptic can be overwhelmed. Djinns, ghosts, people with a "third eye," mind-readers, faith healers of all types, miracle healing plants, you name it, it's probably here in Indonesia.
I'll close with a quote from author Herbert Muschamp, in The New York Times:
We do not embrace reason at the expense of emotion. We embrace it at the expense of self-deception.
Next week, from South Korea....

There is a Motivating Force in the Universe
"There is a Motivating Force in the Universe"
Marilyn O'Leary, RScP
That motivating force is Love.
It is the Oneness at the beginning of all things. That One is the full expression of love, harmony, and light. It is energy, creativity, self-expression, givingness. Since we are all One, I know that I am One with Divine Love. Divine Love expresses in me, through me, as me. It expresses as energy, creativity, self-expression. It is the music I play, the poetry I write, the energy I feel when I wake in the morning, the gift I am prompted to give.
As this is true for me, it is true for all those who accept these words. Spirit is in every person prompting her or him to the most creative expression. It encourages self-acceptance, generosity, love of others. It brings peace, joy, love, and abundance. Knowing this about Spirit, I know that I can ask with confidence that these gifts of Spirit be in me. I know that no matter how I feel, no matter if I feel alone, I am not alone because Spirit is with me. It is like the story in the bible of Jesus walking with his disciples after his death. He, the Christ spirit which is the God-in-me, is always with me, regardless of how I feel. This is grace, this is divine love. It never abandons us, no matter how we feel. Its power is always there for us.
I am grateful for knowing this, I am grateful for this gift. I am grateful for the Love in the Universe.
I release my word to the Law with full confidence that it comes back to me manifested.
And so it is.
Marilyn O'Leary is a Practitioner at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Economic Development:
U.S. and Canadian Governments Have Established Mechanisms to Monitor Compliance with the 2006 Softwood Lumber Agreement but Face Operational Challenges
GAO-09-764R: Published: Jun 18, 2009. Publicly Released: Jun 18, 2009.

The United States and Canada have been involved in a long-standing dispute regarding the softwood lumber trade. Canada is the primary exporter of softwood lumber to the United States. In 2008, Canada exported approximately $3.2 billion worth of softwood lumber products to the United States, about 17 times the amount supplied by the next biggest exporter to the United States. After several years of litigation related to U.S. allegations of unfair Canadian subsidies, the United States and Canada signed the 2006 Softwood Lumber Agreement ("agreement"). The agreement ended ongoing litigation and requires, among other things, Canadian federal and provincial governments to establish export charges and quotas for Canadian lumber exports and for the two countries to exchange information to support monitoring compliance with the agreement. In 2008, the United States passed the Softwood Lumber Act that requires, among other things, that the U.S. government reconcile and verify softwood lumber trade data. The act also requires GAO to report on (1) whether countries that export softwood lumber or softwood lumber products to the United States are complying with international agreements entered into by those countries and the United States; and (2) the effectiveness of the U.S. government in carrying out the reconciliations and verifications mandated by the Softwood Lumber Act. This letter contains information in response to the first mandate concerning compliance with international softwood lumber agreements. In accordance with our agreement with the Senate Committee on Finance and the House Ways and Means Committee, we will issue a separate report in December 2009 that will supply additional information and findings on U.S. efforts to monitor compliance and will also address U.S. efforts to reconcile and verify softwood value data. We focused on Canada because it is the only country with which the United States has an agreement specifically related to softwood lumber and is by far the largest exporter of softwood lumber to the United States. We are not conducting a legal review of compliance with the Softwood Lumber Agreement. Our objectives in this review are to describe (1) U.S. government agency efforts to monitor compliance with the agreement, including cooperating with the Canadian government, (2) operational challenges agencies face in monitoring compliance, and (3) current compliance concerns.
Since the Softwood Lumber Agreement was adopted in 2006, both the U.S. and Canadian governments have implemented policies and procedures for administering and monitoring the agreement. Five U.S. government agencies (Commerce, CBP, DOJ, State, and USTR) have major roles in administering the agreement and in monitoring Canada's compliance. These agencies participate in an informal working group that meets several times a month. Both Canadian federal and provincial governments have roles in administering the agreement for Canada. U.S. agency officials noted that their monitoring of the agreement is dependent on information they receive from Canadian federal agencies and provincial governments, and that the agreement has facilitated increased dialogue between the two countries. In addition, as called for in the agreement, Canada and the United States have established a joint committee to supervise implementation. They have also established several technical working groups. U.S. and Canadian governments face multiple operational challenges in monitoring compliance with the agreement. These challenges include reconciling value data of the softwood lumber trade; monitoring data related to the export charge that Canada collects; and monitoring whether changes to Canadian forest policies and programs are in compliance with the agreement. U.S. and Canadian officials have identified several factors that make 100 percent reconciliation of value data challenging. For example, Canadian export prices on the export permit can be reported in either U.S. or Canadian dollars, which can lead to confusion regarding which values need to be converted to U.S. dollars when reconciling with the U.S. values. U.S. agencies have several ongoing concerns regarding compliance with the agreement. The United States and Canada have utilized the agreement's formal dispute settlement provisions to refer three cases to international arbitration. The arbitration tribunal has found one case partly in the United States' favor; judgment in the other two cases is pending. In addition, U.S. agency officials told us they are continuing to monitor other issues. One issue involves the large amount of low-grade timber being harvested in the mountain pine beetle-infested British Columbia interior region. Another relates to recently reduced fees to harvest timber in the British Columbia coast region. Although both the grading system and formula used to determine harvest fees existed prior to the agreement and were grandfathered into the agreement, U.S. agencies have some continuing questions about how these systems are now being applied.

Tallinn Airport announced that there were 52,000 passegners in the Tallinn-Moscow route last year which is more than double the 2010 figure, reports ERR.
In the first nine months, 78,000 passengers have already been on the route or more than during the whole 2011.
On Sunday, Russian airline Aeroflot re-reopened the route after a hiatus of 16 years. The airline will be flying between the two capitals an Airbus 319 seven times a week.
Erik Sakkov, board member of Tallinn Airport, said that the airport had worked for years to attract Aeroflot back to Tallinn.
"All signs show that Russian people have discovered Estonia as a tourist destination. Teh arrival of Aeroflot with its huge sales network means that there will be a totally new market volume."Sakkov added that the airport was hoping to have a similar success with its St. Petersburg line.
Tallinn Airport has said that in the winter the number of flights arriving in Tallinn will be a third bigger than a year earlier.
As last year, there will be 13 airlines flying to Tallinn in the winter to 30 destinations which is one more than last year.
On the downside, Ryanair has announced that it will stop flying from Tallinn to Frankfurt, Girona and Stockholm in the winter.
Estonian Air has said that it will stop for the winter flights to Riga, Kajaani, London, Hannover and Tbilisi. However, in March the airline will fly to London City Airport and in February will open a Gothenburg line.
Easyjet as announced that in the winter it will change its London airport from Stansted to Gatwick and increase the number of weekly flights from three to four.

This free script provided by
Formation and History of Glenn County
Glenn County was named for Dr Hugh Glenn, the largest landowner in the county. Glenn fought in the Mexican War and was at Chapultepec. He Graduated from Cooper Medical College and married the same year. He decided against medicine and came to California to make his fortune. He returned to St Louis with $5,000 which he put in a bank that failed the next day. Back he came ot California and again mined enough gold to bring his wife and young son out to join him. Tlenn then turned from mining to raising wheat. In 1880 when wheat prices did not suit him, he chartered ships and took his wheat to Liverpool where he sold it for English gold. he ran for governor of California but was deveated. later he bacame a power in the State Board of Agriculture.
In the eighties and nineties and also very early nineteen hundreds a great deal of wheat was raised in California, there were "wheat kings" in the state. Much of this wheat was raised in Colusa and Glenn Counties.
Glenn County was organized in 1891 from territory cut off from Colusa County. Willows which became the county seat, was established as a town in 1876 with a general merchandize store. Temporary offices for the County were in Odd Fellows Hall until the Courthouse and jail were built in 1894.

Big Cat Rescue, a non profit educational sanctuary, is devoted to rescuing and providing a permanent home for exotic (i.e. wild, not domestic) cats who have been abused, abandoned, bred to be pets, retired from performing acts, or saved from being slaughtered for fur coats, and to educating the public about these animals and the issues facing them in captivity and in the wild. The sanctuary is home to the most diverse population of exotic cats in the world, with 14 of the 35 species of wild cat represented among more than 100 residents. These include tigers, lions, liger, leopards, cougars, bobcats, lynx, ocelots, servals, caracals and others, many of whom are threatened, endangered, or now extinct in the wild. The sanctuary is devoted to its Vision of a world where animals are treated with respect, and its Mission of providing the best possible home for the animals in our care and trying to stop the flow of animals needing sanctuary by educating the public about the plight of the animals and supporting stronger laws to protect them. The sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) not profit charity. It receives no government support and relies on its educational activities, such as tours of the facility, and the generosity of donors for support of the cats. Donations are tax deductible. Because non program expenses (i.e. administration and fundraising) are funded from tour income, 100% of donations go directly to support the cats. We hope you enjoy your visit to our web site. We believe it is the most complete resource for information on big cats in the world. BigCatRescue.org CatLaws.com ChatBigCats.com

Elected in 1995
"For contributions to the understanding of transport processes and polymer radiation chemistry in polymers."
VIVIAN THOMAS STANNETT, Camille Dreyfus Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering and dean emeritus of the Graduate School at North Carolina State University, died October 1, 2002, at the age of 85. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1995 for his original contributions to the understanding of transport processes and radiation chemistry in polymers.
An internationally renowned polymer scientist/engineer, Vivian pioneered the use of high-energy radiation to form new polymers or alter existing ones through cross-linking, grafting, and degradation. A recognized leader in the study and application of membrane science and technology, his work contributed to the development of a wide range of beneficial products, including super-absorbent paper towels and diapers and flame-resistant textiles. He also worked extensively on chemical modifications of cellulose and applications of polymers to pulp, paper, and textiles.
Vivian was born on September 1, 1917, to a farming family in Langley, England. Much to his father's distress, he had no desire to take up farming. Interested in chemistry from an early age, he carried out experiments on his own in an abandoned railway carriage on the family's property. In 1936, he took another step toward fulfilling his dream of becoming a scientist by enrolling in the London Polytechnic to study chemistry; he graduated with a B.S. in 1939.

The Wells Reserve – A Great Kennebunkport Destination
In terms of famous coastlines in Southern Maine, the Kennebunks boast some of the best (and still public) sandy beaches for miles. But funnily enough, one of the most beautiful tucked-away natural places to visit hides just out of sight—and notice—of most visitors to our colonial port town.
Approaching Kennebunkport from the south, you'll find yourself winding along route 1 in Wells, past well-loved ice cream shops and old clapboard antique shops proudly spilling their collections out onto their lawns.
But if you're not paying attention, you'll easily miss the right-hand turn for Laudholm Road, home of one of the best-kept "secrets" in the area: The Wells Reserve at Laudholm Farm.
Transformed and preserved by local community efforts in 1982 from the lapsed Laudholm Farms into the non-profit Laudholm Trust, the Wells Reserve now offers its rolling hills, beautifully preserved working farm buildings, winding trails and miles of coastal estuarine habitat for public visits, events and education.
Whether it's cross-country skiing in January, an evening lecture by a well-known author in May, a summer trail run in August, or an autumn craft fair and pumpkin festival in September, there's beauty, education and natural splendor to be found on these 2000 acres of protected wilderness all year round.
Visiting the reserve, you can enjoy beautifully maintained trails rich with informative wildlife and ecological information that wind down to a beautiful and secluded corner of sandy beach and crashing surf. Visiting the Kennebunks for the summer? The little people in your family can enjoy summer science camps and workshops, too.
With its ongoing residential estuarine research activities, The Wells Reserve brings together an inspiring array of community events with an ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship.
And what's more, (for the soon-to-be brides who might be reading) it's large and roomy barn offers a glamorous and down-to-earth A-list wedding and event destination that books up over a year in advance!

A Maine Vacation for your Bucket List
Now that Captain Fairfield Inn's unbelievably luxurious Lark Suite is complete, we find ourselves pondering the nature of a truly exceptional getaway. The spacious suite itself has charming historic details like centuries-old hardwood floors as well as contemporary touches like stylish, comfortable furnishings and a 40 inch LED Smart TV. Such unique accommodations deserve better than a generic agenda – perhaps something special and memorable for 2014 that does not necessarily make your trip itinerary every year.
Our boutique bed & breakfast hotel in Kennebunkport, Maine is surrounded by iconic New England attractions. Within easy walking distance you can shop local artisans' wares, enjoy water views, eat amazing food, and climb aboard a sailboat on its way out to sea. Driving distance things to do in Coastal Maine are too numerous to count, but top sights are outlets, downtown areas, lobster shacks, hiking trails, sandy beaches, museums, and lighthouses.
A few offbeat or uncommon activities can transform a great trip into an unforgettable escape. These items on our concierge staff's bucket list might give you some inspiration.
1) Go horseback riding on the beach. How many of us consider this a perfect romantic date? And how many of us have actually done it? Riverhurst Farm, which is just over 5 minutes from Captain Fairfield Inn, offers guided horseback beach rides.
2) If the sky's the limit, then take a scenic biplane tour with Atlas Aero. The plane takes off from Sanford Seacoast Airport, less than half an hour from Captain Fairfield Inn. It's a pretty drive, plus you can stop on the way in Downtown Kennebunk and/or the Kennebunk Plains Wildlife Management Area former blueberry barrens. Once you take to the skies you'll fly to see everything from Biddeford Pool to Portsmouth, NH.
3) Our favorite sommelier, Erica Archer of Wine Wise, often hosts wine tasting events in Southern Maine cities. It is now our dream to catch the brand new HydiWave Water Taxi service that would carry us over the ocean out of Dock Square to and from one of Erica's wine walks in Ogunquit.
Late October in Kennebunkport
One thing we're sure about is that there are always things to do in Kennebunkport. Each time of year has its own special draw, but Halloween is a personal favorite of our resident managers Jed and Alana.
Each October, the southern coast of Maine boasts harvest festivals and holiday happenings aplenty. Every garden overflows with mums; every stoop with pumpkins. Some visitors survey the Fall foliage between apple-picking and antiquing. Others try free samples of small-batch mead before hitting a farmer's market or craft fair. The shoulder season means no worries about crowds whether you roam the day away or spend it fireside with a good book and mug of spiced tea.
Last year our Kennebunkport boutique hotel introduced a BYOP pumpkin carving contest with some sweet rewards. Every entrant received a bottle of local craft beer perfect for a fall night as well as a bag full of homemade candies fresh from our kitchen. The contest winner—who had never before carved a jack-o-lantern—wine a future free night's stay. We are thrilled to resurrect this Halloween event for 2013! Click here for details.
Guests less than enthralled by All Hallow's Eve are not out of place if they visit in late October. They can still sample decadent seasonal specialties at breakfast, like caramel apple scones and Brazilian pumpkin rabanada (think hearty, fried French toast!), but each guest celebrates or doesn't on their own terms. Foodie festival Harvest on the Harbor in Portland and wine tastings at Kennebunk's Bel Cibo da Cherie and Downeast Wine Imports are among the events appealing to any traveler.
Those reveling in all things scary, silly, and spooky have almost too much to choose from. The Brick Store Museum will celebrate area history on Halloween weekend with their 10th annual All Souls Walk through Hope Cemetery. Plus, this year clothing from the Brick Store's collection of 19th and 20th century costume pieces will be on exhibit through November 15th. Bentley's Saloon always hosts a costume party with live music and plenty of raucous fun — this year on the 26th. All of Dock Square comes alive with decorations, sales, and trick-or-treaters on October 31st. Neighborhood brewpub Federal Jack's will host a Haunted House for charity on the big night, which might be the perfect excuse to stop by for a harvest ale or two.
We're so looking forward to Halloween!
Kennebunkport Happy Hour
Strolling around Dock Square after lunch? Looking for a place with a view where you can sit and relax? Feeling peckish in the afternoon or hankering for a cocktail? There is one solution for all these dilemmas: the consummate Happy Hour in Kennebunkport.
Sure, you can grab a drink at the Captain Fairfield Inn and snack on our freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, but it's nice to have abundant opportunities for going out on the town. These are a few fabulous options within walking distance of our boutique hotel.
Dine with a View
For expansive views, there can be no better choice than Stripers Waterside Restaurant. Between 3 & 5 on Sundays and weekdays you can sit in adirondack chairs overlooking the river delta and beach. Servers bring drinks right to your seat while you watch the waves and let the sun soak into your skin.
Affordably Delicious
For affordable, delicious food we favor the instantly popular David's KPT, Kennebunkport's newest waterfront dining destination. Just a few blocks from the Captain Fairfield Inn en route to Dock Square you can find generous, shareable dishes. Tasty steak tartar, mouthwatering fried calamari, to-die-for duck sliders, and more for $6 or less! The indoor/outdoor happy hour runs from 3 to 5 all week long.
Noshing Nearby
For convenience, we recommend Tia's Topside, which is just over the bridge in Lower Village Kennebunk. Oh no, it's after 5? Don't fret, because Tia's offers happy hour every day from 3-6PM. Get an appetizer or two, or simply enjoy 50% off alcoholic beverages. Don't miss out on river views from the deck!
For the Oyster Lover
Incomparable oysters harvested from Maine's clean, cold waters can be found at each of the above hot spots as well as nearby One Dock. Still, our pick for the oyster lover is The Hatch, located underneath Federal Jack's. Those on a quest for fresh, local oysters can dine happy on quite a selection. When in town on a Wednesday, stop by between 4 & 7 for $1 oysters and $3.50 beers.
You can stay on budget and continue your appetizer round-up in the evening. Simply order some small bites for dinner at one of the area's superb restaurants.
Captain Fairfield Loves Harris Farm
There may not be lots of snow where you are but we've had our fair share this winter. Coastal Maine's winter weather pattern has kept the snowfall "just right." There's no doubt that Jed has had his share of shoveling, but, in our view, our second winter in Maine has been just about perfect, with plenty of opportunity to sit by the fire, enjoy a glass of wine or a hot toddy and of course get out and explore the area.
During this, one of the most beautiful times of year in our coastal village, many of our Kennebunkport Bed and Breakfast guests are taking advantage by strolling quiet beaches or hopping on a sleigh ride. Still more visit one of our favorite locations supporting local, eco-friendly agriculture: Harris Farm.
Just a short scenic drive to the west, Harris Farm offers visitors the opportunity to explore the farm on snowshoes or cross-country skis. Novices to both winter sports are always welcome! We've heard stories of the great patience and competence of the farm's staff during lessons, and especially the fun to be had exploring this corner of Maine. Of course, if you are accomplished in either sport there are many miles of beautiful trails to explore on your own.
Admittedly, we were introduced to our Southern Maine neighbors in a way that has nothing to do with winter sports. Harris Farm supplies several local restaurants, including our favorite new addition to downtown Kennebunk, Owen's Farmhouse. Check out the "Harris" pizza, which includes ingredients sourced from its namesake farm. We'd suggest stopping in at Owen's on your way back from a day of exploring – they have takeout and dine-in options. If you opt for take out, let us know and we'll be sure to have the fire going so you can warm up after your day of winter trekking.
On a related note: It's time to tap the Sugar Maples! If you're visiting on March 22nd & 23rd be sure to check out Harris Farm's annual Maple Weekend. Get an inside look at their operation and even sample maple syrup straight from the boiler.
Designer Showhouse – Happening Now in Kennebunkport!
Have you visited the Designer Show House at the Kenneth Roberts Estate in Kennebunkport yet? It goes through this coming Saturday, July 14 not too far from the inn.
Our friends at Portland, Maine's Inspired Wire Stdio (the folks who – at this very moment – are crafting a custom light for our new tasting room!) have one of their pieces featured in the guest bedroom by Fiore Studio.
Check out this news clip on the showhouse. Watch until the end and you'll see the orb "solstice" chandelier.
Images of Dock Square, Kennebunkport's Village Center
When I am looking around online at various Kennebunkport attractions, they are often described as being in or near Dock Square. But if I wasn't familiar with Kennebunkport, I would have no idea what this means. Perhaps because it is mentioned so many times, I might eventually guess it has some significance within this Maine coast destination.
Dock Square is considered to be the center of Kennebunkport. Located on the Kennebunk River (about one mile upstream from where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean), it's a hub both on water and on land (well, as much of a hub as you can get in a small Maine village). It's home to numerous restaurants, boutiques, antique and art galleries, ice cream shops and a small provisioning market.
I've posted some photos and descriptions of what you might see walking from Captain Fairfield Inn, our Kennebunkport Bed and Breakfast, to Dock Square, and then through Dock Square, over the Kennebunk River and into Lower Village Kennebunk. If you are walking directly, it takes about 5 minutes to walk from the Inn to the monument in the center; if you're meandering, who knows… These photos were taken on a recent sunny Autumn Saturday afternoon, and even though we've taken this walk so many times before, we had a lovely time.

H.R. Writes: "I used to work in compliance at a major investment bank, and had to do a project which entailed doing background checks on all non-employee consultants who would be given computer access. I had to do a fingerprint check on each one of them…they're done electronically now—even if you do them on an ink card. And those files definitely get saved.
One of the consultants' prints came back with an arrest from the early seventies. The charge? Fishing without a license. Seriously. I've even had consultants tell me that their records were supposed to have been expunged, but their prints still come back. Many times, the results show an arrest, but not the final outcome of the case. Of course, the FBI has a number they can call to clear things up. I'm sure that's helpful."

Love it! I love this dress and wish I would have gotten more when they had different colors. I was hesitant with purchasing it with some of the reviews I was reading on the solid color dress like this one but went ahead and got it once it went on sale. You will not be disappointed in this dress. It fits amazing and looks amazing! May 14, 2014
Great Dress! This is my first maxi dress purchase and it is great. Many maxi dresses I have seen have fabric which tends to be see through, but not this dress. The fabric is a little thicker so it's not see through. Also, it doesn't cling to the body too much like other long cotton maxi dresses. It hangs nicely. I ordered a size small, and I'm 5'2"-3" ish... so it hits the ground. Good with wedges, and once I washed it I could wear it with flip flops. Looks great with one of the jean jackets! April 30, 2014
PERFECT Maxi! Please make in all colors!!! The material and fit of this maxi is perfect! I would buy it in every color. The other maxis that "look" identical are not made with the same fabric. I am 5 3 1/2 & 120 pounds and the XS fit like a glove. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make more!!! March 1, 2014
Love these tank dresses! These long maxi tank dresses are very similar to the striped ones they had last year, which I loved - the fit is very similar (length, drape, etc.), but these have no pockets and the material is more of a softer, drapier jersey, whereas the others were a thicker, rougher cotton. Personally, I loved the pockets last year cause I'm a gal who adores pockets (although apparently they stuck out strangely for some body types, so I see why they would get rid of them) - love the easy, dress up or dress down feel of these - they will definitely be a staple when the weather warms up, got all three colors in XS (5'5", 120 lbs).
