The resort is one of a kind, among the top resorts in the world, and a perfect destination for a special getaway.While your garden may have faded by now, Wequassettوٹ¯ stunning gardens, with myriad local and exotic plants, were still abloom in early October, bright爓ith爌urple, pink, ivory, yellow, blue and sage. Situated on 27 acres with flowers and plants covering seemingly every inch of the property, this luxury resort has award-winning restaurants and 120 rooms in a collection of tidy white cottages and buildings. Wequassett is open through Thanksgiving, and this time of year the Cape is more quiet and beautiful than ever.Less than a two-hour drive from Framingham, Cape traffic was light and we arrived at the Wequassett on a Friday afternoon. Tempting cookies and pink lemonade were laid out in the registration lobby, a sweet afternoon snack, just one of the little touches that abound here. The resort is the kind of place where the staff open doors, turn down the beds at night, leave chocolate candies, bring extra towels, ask if you need assistance and generally do everything they can to make you feel welcome.Our "Signature Suite" was striking, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a 180-degree view of Pleasant Bay and Round Cove where we could see boats bobbing on the water. On a table treats awaited: A bottle of wine and a tray with sliced baguette, cheese, Italian ham, pickles and capers. Decorated in clean, light browns and tans with lots of white-painted wood and fresh flowers, the huge suite was a dream, equipped with a bar, two big comfy upholstered chairs, a large-screen TV, stereo, gas fireplace and separate his-and-her marble bath with a jetted tub. Even with two queen beds, there was enough extra room we could have invited 10 friends in for drinks. We both would have been happy enough to spend the entire weekend there, enjoying the view and reading our books. In nice weather, order breakfast or lunch from one of the resortوٹ¯ restaurants and step outside to eat at the table on the private patio or light the outdoor gas fireplace and settle in on a chaise for an afternoon.But thereوٹ¯ lots to do besides relax at Wequassett. The resortوٹ¯ concierge has many suggestions; itوٹ¯ your choice. Take a lesson or play a round at the neighboring 18-hole, par-72 Cape Cod National Golf Club, open only to club members and guests of the resort. Tennis anyone? Bring your pals for a tennis party on the four newç‡ar-Tru clay courts or take a private lesson from the pro. Take a leisurely walk on the resortوٹ¯ own beach, or explore any of the nearby beaches. We saw interesting shells and prehistoric-looking horseshoe crabs on our walk. The heated pools are sparkling new ?one is a lap pool for exercising and the other overlooks the bay, but both have heated spas next to them. Work out in the exercise room or take a yoga class. In summer months, the resort has a stable of kayaks and a variety of power and sailboats to take out on the calm bay, and the resort can also ferry you to the National Seashore. In summer, thereوٹ¯ a childrenوٹ¯ center, too, with programs just for them.Page 2 of 3 - The village of Chatham is just a few minutes away, with its shingled houses, adorable antique shops, art galleries, movie theater and restaurants. Many businesses are open through the winter. No need to take the car into town; the resort has a fleet of BMWs and a driver will gladly drop you off at your destination and make arrangements to collect you later. Be sure to stop in a the Stuna Galleries on Main Street where Heather Struna has been showing the lovely paintings and prints of her talented father, Timothy Jon Struna, for more than a dozen years. While some of the shops are pricey, many sell clothes you wonوٹ° find anywhere else in the state. Sancheskaوٹ¯ has elegantly casual outfits for women that are reasonably priced.The Cape Cod Rail Trail is nearby for biking and hiking, and of course thereوٹ¯ the iconic Chatham Light where you can see seals on the beach. Or, head further out on the Cape to Truro Vineyards for a wine tasting or a tour of the winery or rum distillery. Have breakfast or lunch at the nearby Lazy Lobster, which makes the fluffiest French toast on brioche youوٹ³e ever tasted. Try a tasty lobster roll at the Captainوٹ¯ Table or a simple breakfast at Sandiوٹ¯ Diner in downtown Chatham. The local movie theater shows indie films several times daily.But you must eat at least one meal at the resortوٹ¯ fine dining restaurant, Twenty-eight Atlantic, where chef James Hackney works his magic. The menu at this top-rated restaurant with impeccable service is always changing based on what is in season and available. I started with Chatham oysters with an interesting green cucumber granite. Caramelized day boat scallops with lentils, pancetta, pomegranate and Brussels leaves were truly the best scallops Iوٹ³e ever had, and Iوٹ³e eaten many scallops in my day. My husbandوٹ¯ salad was made with local greens and his pan-roasted salmon with shallot puree, chard leeks and tarragon oil was moist and flavorful. A chocolate souffl?concoction for dessert was topped with a dollop of the most unusual ice cream ever: pine needle. Itوٹ¯ like Christmas in your mouth!In the summer months, the resort has five restaurants, but not all were open during our visit. For less formal dining, try Thoreauوٹ¯, a cozy pub and restaurant housed in on the resortوٹ¯ historic buildings, the Eben Ryder House. The intimate setting has dark wood beams, leather and friendly wait staff. No reservations are needed, and the cocktails are made with care and fresh ingredients. Donوٹ° miss the cod cake, a filling appetizer thatوٹ¯ a meal in itself. The fillet mignon was cooked to juicy perfection and my husband proclaimed his fish and chips to be top-notch. Psst ?you can also order off the Twenty-eight Atlantic menu if you like.Page 3 of 3 - The resort hosts elegant parties and weddings, and there were two going on during our visit. On Saturday night, we enjoyed fireworks celebrating one coupleوٹ¯ nuptials that were set off from a floating dock in the bay. The arrangement of the resort facilities is such that the parties never disturbed the peaceful tranquility of our luxurious suite, and we enjoyed the extra treat of seeing a beautiful pyrotechnic show in the sky.Wequassett Resort & Golf Club2173 Rte. 28, Harwich 508-432-5400; 1-800-225-7125; www.wequassett.comSpecial Fall Packages:Fireside Fridays: Stay two nights (Wed-Thurs) and receive Friday free.

It was a good-looking, well-acted film that didnï؟½t garner much interest because the woman at the center of it just wasnï؟½t very interesting. The film never even got around to revealing why she set out on her amazing trek.Thatï؟½s not the case with ï؟½Wild,ï؟½ in which Reese Witherspoon also plays a real person who took a long hike (no animals along on hers). This one was in the mid-1990s, and it was done over the 1,100 miles from Mexican border to the Canadian border, on the Pacific Crest Trail, by a young woman named Cheryl Strayed.The differences between the films are that with ï؟½Wild,ï؟½ weï؟½re dealing with a more accomplished director (Jean-Marc Vallï؟½eï؟½s most recent film was ï؟½Dallas Buyers Clubï؟½), a far better actress (no offense to Wasikowska, but Witherspoon can act circles around her), and an eventually revealed reason ï؟½ make that a list of reasons ï؟½ that Strayed went on her journey, making this film far more compelling than its similar predecessor.Strayed is in bad shape in the filmï؟½s opening scene, already well into her hike, all alone, somewhere out in the wilderness, bruised and bloodied and losing toenails, out of breath and screaming in frustration.In the first of many flashbacks, we see her arrival in Mojave, where sheï؟½ll get started, and eavesdrop on a phone call to her ex-husband Paul (Thomas Sadoski) that provides hints as to why she has to ï؟½walk a thousand miles.ï؟½This is a woman who knows very little about hiking, which results in her loading a pack to the point that she canï؟½t even lift it. As weï؟½re watching this, weï؟½re finding out that sheï؟½s leaving a lot of emotional baggage behind.But she sets off, uncertainty gnawing at her, on June 12, 1995, uphill from the get-go, with plans to finish in three months. In short order, the revelatory flashbacks kick in, usually triggered by a word or a song she hears, then proceed to freely mingle with what sheï؟½s experiencing on the trail.There are happy memories: of Cheryl with her mom (Laura Dern, in an excellent performance), who has just returned to college, and is the most positive influence in her life; and of Cheryl cheerfully hanging out and chatting with her pal Aimee (Gaby Hoffman). But the Cheryl we meet at the start of her hike is not a happy or positive person. Sheï؟½s a lost soul who doesnï؟½t know what to do with her life. OK, letï؟½s be transparent here. Sheï؟½s a total wreck. Among other things seen in other flashbacks is the divorce hearing with her husband. ï؟½I cheated on him ... a lot of times,ï؟½ she admits. Thereï؟½s also a recent family tragedy, and some horrifying glimpses of a dark and shady existence she was going through, involving sex and drugs and a whole lot of trouble. Page 2 of 2 - The adaptation of Strayedï؟½s memoir ï؟½Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trailï؟½ by novelist and screenwriter Nick Hornby (the books ï؟½High Fidelityï؟½ and ï؟½About a Boyï؟½), along with taut yet fluid direction from Vallï؟½e, continues to put the little pieces of her life together into one picture throughout the film.Screenwriter and director even manage to find humor in some situations, which Witherspoon handles perfectly amidst the toughness she has to give her character. Even though, due to the flashbacks, the telling of her story isnï؟½t presented in a linear manner, it still comes across as chronological, greatly aided by words that flash up on the screen: Day 32, Day 80, and so forth.And sheï؟½s not always alone. There are rest stops and camps along the way, where she picks up care packages sent by her ex, and where she can chat with other hikers. But then itï؟½s back on her feet, making her way through desert heat, setting up her tent in fields of snow, crossing scrublands, taking in the majesty of the deep forest.The filmï؟½s mood swings run rampant. Itï؟½s at different points very funny, terribly sad, scary and wondrous. In her journal, Strayed writes, ï؟½When Iï؟½m done with this, Iï؟½ll have to start living.ï؟½ Little did she realize thatï؟½s exactly what she was doing out there on the trail.Ed Symkus covers movies for More Content Now.WILDWritten by Nick Hornby; directed by Jean-Marc Vallï؟½eWith Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Thomas SadoskiRate R In principle, 75 acres of public and private waterfront land are available for development near downtown, but Bayfront 20:20 talks have been more geared toward the 42 acres of city-controlled property around the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.

Without this knowledge, the probability of long delays, unnecessary risks, simple yet costly errors and frustration increase exponentially.Ready, aim, fireA real estate transaction is a process, not an event. It is a series of smaller transactions, each very crucial for different reasons. Each one has a contract deadline. Independent companies serving the real estate industry execute these transactional tasks.Understanding how each task fits into the larger transaction and following each tasks progress toward meeting the deadline is important. Title insurance, inspection, testing and appraisal companies are examples of these other companies.This understanding allows you to challenge a procedure or reject advice you may not have questioned otherwise. While you and the seller are focused on this one transaction, everyone else involved is simultaneously working many transactions. Accepting the responsibility for getting the knowledge before you need it and for the outcome of each task is the surest course of action to achieve a positive experience.Here is a simple schedule that illustrates the steps a homebuyer will take in a typical real estate transaction.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Rex Ryan is switching teams not divisions after reaching an agreement to coach the Buffalo Bills.A person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press the former New York Jets coach accepted in principle the Bills contract offer after two days of discussions. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills have not discussed their search to replace Doug Marrone, who stepped down abruptly Dec. 31.The offer came a day after the Bills identified Ryan as a finalist and met with him for a second time in South Florida, where new owners Terry and Kim Pegula live. Ryan was one of 12 candidates to interview for the job since last weekend.Ryan was chosen ahead of other notable candidates, including two-time Super Bowl winner Mike Shanahan, Cincinnati offensive coordinator Hue Jackson and former Bills backup quarterback Frank Reich, who completed his first season as San Diego s offensive coordinator.At the same time, a second person familiar with the talks told the AP the Bills are negotiating to hire Greg Roman as offensive coordinator. Roman, a finalist for the Bills coaching job, spent the past four years as the San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator. Roman s future is uncertain in San Francisco after coach Jim Harbaugh left to coach Michigan.Roman is regarded as a good fit under Ryan, because the two share a similar run-first philosophy. The 49ers running attack ranked among the NFL s top 10 in each of the past four seasons under Roman.The Bills are coming off a 9-7 finish, matching their best record in a decade, but missed the playoffs to extend the NFL s longest active drought to 15 years.Marrone s departure caught the Bills by surprise, when the second-year coach quit the team by using an opt-out clause in his contract.Marrone, coincidentally, has interviewed with the Jets, where he previously served as the team s offensive line coach.The Bills prepare to become the first of six NFL teams, including Ryan s former team, to fill their coaching vacancy this offseason.Bills players were already expressing their support for Ryan in posts made on their Twitter accounts. Love the hire! center Eric Wood tweeted.Running back Fred Jackson wrote: Excited about the hire of Rex!! Great coach to come in and keep us moving in the right direction! Ryan prepares to make the cross-state trip from the Big Apple to Buffalo, where he raises the profile of a franchise now on its sixth coach in 14 years.Known for his brash personality and loyalty to his players, Ryan immediately becomes the Bills most high-profile coach since Hall of Famer Marv Levy established his reputation in Buffalo by leading the team to four straight Super Bowl appearances in the early 1990s.Though new to the NFL, Pegulas are not unaccustomed to making a splash. The couple, which also owns the NHL Buffalo Sabres, bought the Bills from the estate of late Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson s estate for a league-record $1.4 billion in October.Ryan went 50-52, including 4-2 in the playoffs, in six seasons with the Jets before being fired along with general manager John Idzik following a 4-12 finish.He made his biggest impact during his first two seasons in New York, when the Jets reached the AFC Championship game in consecutive years but lost them both.Ryan is familiar with the Bills after coaching their AFC East rival. His father, Buddy, also had ties to Buffalo after spending 1961-65 as the University at Buffalo s defensive coordinator.Like his father, Rex Ryan s strength is defense, which meshes with the Bills. Buffalo s defense finished fourth in the NFL in yards allowed last season and produced three Pro Bowl linemen.It s unclear how Ryan s arrival would affect the status of Buffalo s current defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, who completed his first season with the Bills. Schwartz is the former Detroit Lions coach and was a candidate for the Bills job.Ryan s challenge in Buffalo would be similar to the one he had in New York providing a spark to a sputtering offense. The Jets finished 22nd in yardage last season four spots ahead of Buffalo.Quarterbacks were concerns for both teams, involving two players drafted in 2013 draft.The Jets faltered behind second-year starter Geno Smith, who was eventually benched and replaced by Michael Vick for three games before finishing out the season. In Buffalo, second-year starter EJ Manuel was benched after four games and replaced by 10-year journeyman Kyle Orton, who has since said he plans to retire.Manuel has two years left on his contract and is the only experienced starter on the roster. p90x Denver East launched the first DPS ice hockey program this season to provide an opportunity for students to play within their own school district.
