Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm pretty stumped as to why they've made this spell :p if you take the equivalent that's in the game already, Enslave Demon with Warlocks...well...no one ever uses that.
It's kinda annoying, DK's seem to get some cool toys (Dark Simulacrum, Control Undead) but they're generally much too situational to use. Ok yeah, DS is pretty awesome in pvp, pve though...not so much.
The biggest problem with Dark Simulacrum (now that the copied spells aren't doing three digit damage in raid gear) is that the game doesn't tell you what abilities can be copied. Zanzil Fire is amazing... especially if you can catch it when his ghoul pack is up. And Ragnaros has one that can be copied, too; Hand of Ragnaros, IIRC.
The ONLY way to tell if it can be copied is to try it... and it has a one-minute cooldown whether it works or not. And sometimes it doesn't work because the ability was interrupted, which makes it harder to figure out.

Compression Devices
A compression device provides a wider range of compression than other traditional compression garments. Easy to use, it also provides steady and comfortable resting compression, as well as higher working compression when the wearer is active. A compression device may be an easy-to-apply alternative for patients, who:
- Struggle donning traditional compression garments, due to weak hand strength, bad back or inability to bend
- Have nonstandard limb shapes
- Have fragile skin or painful limbs that are easily aggravated by traditional compression garments
- Suffer from frequent swelling fluctuation
- Suffer from arterial disease and who cannot tolerate constant high compression levels

A series of emails spanning six months of talks between Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. President Keith Tunnell and I-77 Alliance Chairman Dr. Britt Blackwell shed light on the events surrounding Lancaster County's rejection from membership in the alliance.
The records obtained last month by The Lancaster News.
Since 2009, Jo Manly has survived the up-and-down business roller coaster to find his own corner in the local market.
Bobby Spanjer and Mike Scruggs, two HOPE (Helping Other People Effectively) in Lancaster volunteers, love stocking staples on shelves at agency's food pantry but earlier this week, there was nothing to stock.
Lancaster County Capital Project Sales Tax Commissioners met briefly Wednesday, Aug. 6, to make a small wording change in a proposed ballot question to reauthorize the county's 1 cent capital project sales tax.
More than 150 guests from 15 different states have been in town this week attending a conference on rural drug use among teens at the University of South Carolina Lancaster from Wednesday, Aug. 6, through today, Aug. 8.
PAGELAND – While Tyzhe Hough remains jailed without bond at the Lancaster County Detention Center on two counts of attempted murder and a single count of failure to stop for blue lights and siren, he also faces multiple charges in Chesterfield County.
CHESTER – Chester County Sheriff Alex Underwood has been named the defendant in a sexual harassment lawsuit by a former county employee.
All the world's problems could be solved in the small back room tucked away behind the counter at Sambo's 903 Diner and Drive-In on Flat Creek Road. Steeped in the sound of crackling grease, nobody is a stranger here for long.
For 45 years, local residents have celebrated anniversaries, proposals and birthdays – one woman even went into labor – over roast pork sandwiches and hand-cut french fries with Sambo Faile behind the cash register.
The Lancaster County Library Board has agreed to take another look at a policy banning after-hours meetings at local libraries by outside groups and will call a special meeting to announce what it finds.
A Lancaster man was arrested July 28 following a citizen's tip to authorities of suspected drug dealing.
Cornelious Joe Winchester Jr., 48, 601 W. Meeting St., was charged with trafficking heroin and possession with intent to distribute oxycodone, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office incident report.
The arrest came as investigators were conducting surveillance on Winchester outside his home after receiving the tip, the report said.

Twilight breaking dawn pt 1 review
Maybe 2012 is the end of the world. I'm only saying that because I've haven't been the biggest twilight fan out there. The first one was just god awful! If MST3K was still on the air, that movie would be fantastic to riff on. The second one was a couple of percent higher making it bad but not awful. The third one jumped 50% all because they added some interesting things such as the back stories of 2 of the Cullen's, and the big fight sequence in the third act.
Now what I'm about to say may evoke my manly man membership card and my balls but……breaking dawn is the best in the twilight series! I don't know why but it seems like they kind got it right this time. It kept me glued through out the whole time I was watching. Melissa Rosenberg (screenwriter of all of them…except the first one…more on that later) and director bill condon worked together to bring these characters to life in a way that the other directors (mainly the first director) didn't seem to do . I actually cared about Edward and Bella. All 3 of the movies made Edward and Bella so lifeless and dull. I always had a problem with Kristen Stewart playing Bella because from what I've heard Bella is a kick ass character. She's fun to be with, she's pretty, and so on and so forth. But Kristen took all that and flushed it down the shitter. And Robert Patterson as Edward I expected more from him because he's British! (the british invented acting) but the way he played Edward in the first 3 made him a emo little bitch who sparkles. But in this one, Bella has more facial expressions and you can tell if she's happy or sad and Edward is more of a man too.
I have a feeling bill condon had a hand at rewriting some of the script. Don't get me wrong, melissa rosenberg is a good writer (she wrote some episodes and executive produced Dexter) but the first 3 didn't prove to the audience why she's a good screenwriter. Just recently, the director of the first one admitted that she rewrote the entire movie. Now I have even more of a reason to hate the first one and the director. Hope and prey she won't be writing or directing anytime soon.
Back to this one: to me, it had everything that the first 3 were missing, real suspense, intentionally funny moments and some blood! The wedding and the reception was just right and even the crazy birth scene was a little intense at times wondering if Bella's gonna live or die.
So at the end of the day, I'd give breaking dawn pt. 1 a solid B. So u know what, I will actually pay to go see pt. 2 now. I need to see what the fuck is gonna happen!! Yes, I'm now this interested.

Chillerama Review
Sorry everyone…(the 3 of you) that i've finally got around to write my review of "Chillerama". 2 weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be invited to the premiere of the movie at the hollywood forever cemetery. the synopses of the movie goes like this:
It's the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons. Four films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night! With titles like Wadzilla, I Was A Teenage Werebear, The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, and Zom-B-Movie, Chillerama not only celebrates the golden age of drive-in B horror shlock but also spans over four decades of cinema with something for every bad taste.
Now, i'll start reviewing each segment in the order it was shown….
Wadezilla: directed by adam rifkin (detriot rock city) it's a take on the 1950's monster movies. This time around its a gigantic sperm wrecking havoc on the state of new york. the movie's crude, nasty, and very disgusting and not for people with sticks up there asses. i laughed the whole segment through. The effects were pretty fun and you can tell they were all in on the joke and how badly the effects were suppose to be. a stop motion giant sperm, people running behind a green screen and cool/crappy models. All the effects were done day non other than old school effects artists the chiodo brothers who of course done all the puppets in "team america: world police" and the cult classic "killer clowns from outer space". All in all wadezilla was my second favorite segment of "Chillerama".
I Was A Teenage Werebear: directed by Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs) this segment is a take on musical beach blanket movies of the 1960's and even though it did it's job, the execution of the whole segment to me fell flat. From the dialogue to the make up. I was pretty disappointed by the make up. you'd expect kinda cool werebear make up and the gore they had in it but it just seemed like they had no money for the make up. the blood was too bright and the werebears were just god awful looking. i think i could of made a better make up for this segment. but i'll give it one good thing to say, the music was very cheesy yet i enjoyed that part. So all in all when it comes out on blu ray, that'll be the segment i'll be skipping.
The Diary of Anne Frankenstein: directed by Adam Green (Hatchet 1 and 2) this segment is by far my favorite one. Set in germany 1941 Adolf hitler raids a familys house to steal a diary where inside the diary tells how to bring the dead back alive. So hitler steals it and decides to make a creature to destroy the jews. the whole segment is in german with subtitles and the whole film doesnt take it self seriously at all. it's different from any of the directors past work…..kind of. It's laugh out loud funny and ridiculous all the way through.
(Btw…if u thought i'd give away a lot more details of the movie, sorry…just check it yourself!)
Finally, Zom-b-Movie: directed by joe lynch (wrong turn 2) taken place present time at a drive in. i give you the details above the review. all though the gore was cool and the segment was cool too, the zombies were the worse looking zombies i've ever seen on screen. Again, seemed like the make up FX guys had no money at all and basically just applied neon paint on the infected. The zombies look like all night ravers instead of flesh eating killers.
So all in all, I would give this film an "A-" but because of "Werebear" and the "Zom-b-movie" SFX make up, I'm giving this movie a solid "B-" So i'll just say right now:
Robert Pendergraft (SFX make up supervisor for the 2 segments i listed above) you lazy fat Oaf! get your shit together and get better at your job or you'll never make it to the big leagues.

Other recordings available for download
|Gerald Finley (baritone), Julius Drake (piano)
With Histoires naturelles, on prose poems by Jules Renard, Ravel's playfulness tipped over into controversy and the premiere in January 1907 was a noisy affair. His chief crime was to eliminate some of the final mute 'e's, in the popular style of the café concert. In the opening Le paon, the peacock's pomposity is undercut by the shortening of 'la fi-an-cé-e n'ar-ri-ve pas' to 'la fian-cé' n'ar-riv' pas'. There was even shouting when, in Le grillon, as the cricket took a rest ('Il se repose') Ravel's music came to a sudden halt. Equally disconcerting, after the busy-busy movements of the cricket (which some commentators have likened to Ravel himself), is the magical, visionary epilogue in D flat major, where he later admitted he had deliberately allowed his Romantic inclinations to surface. Debussy, who by 1907 was no longer a friend, complained of the 'factitious Americanism' of the more light-hearted passages in the cycle, but even he had to admit Le cygne was beautiful music. The piano part is marked 'very gentle and enveloped in pedal' and the setting of seven semiquavers in the right hand against two in the left makes for effortless progress, quite different from the cricket's precise gestures. Ravel dedicated the song to Misia Godebska, a mover and shaker in Parisian musical circles who was soon to become Diaghilev's right-hand woman, and it could be that Ravel saw her as the swan, gliding smoothly through society with her eye fixed on the main chance.
'Not a bite, this evening', complains the fisherman at the start of Le martin-pêcheur. The cool, diamond-like, almost Messiaenic chords do not react (unlike the 1907 audience which here rose to an apogee of outrage) but go their way 'as slowly as possible'. Here is a music of silence, the singer somehow conveying breathlessness while breathing deeply. Pierre Bernac called it 'the most difficult mélodie of the set'. But for the pianist the worst moments come in La pintade. With its gruppetti and shrill, explosive acciaccaturas, it looks back not just to Alborada del gracioso but to another fowl-piece, 'Baba-Yaga' from Musorgsky's Pictures from an Exhibition. It makes an entertaining and aesthetically uncomplicated finale to the set, but also displays Ravel's aggressive side.

Do we really know the individual as a parent would a child? That question has come into play repeatedly this past week, thanks to a racing accident Aug.
NASCAR bans drivers from exiting cars after wrecks
NASCAR added a rule Friday ordering drivers to not approach the track or moving cars after accidents. The announcement comes less than a week after a driver was struck and killed during a dirt-track race in New York.

Mourners gather at service for Kevin Ward Jr., driver hit by Tony Stewart's car
TURIN, N.Y. — They came to grieve and share stories about Kevin Ward Jr., who was born into a racing family and buried with racing flags in his casket. A high school auditorium overflowed with friends, family and racing enthusiasts Thursday in tribute to the 20-year-old driver, who was hit on a dirt track by a car driven by NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.
Tony Stewart's temper repeatedly on display, thanks to video
Southern California race fans witnessed a bit of Tony Stewart's temperament in 2013 at Auto Club Speedway when he and Joey Logano tangled after the Auto Club 400. Despite his threat to keep the feud going, the emotional outburst quickly passed and no further action resulted.
Kevin Ward's father says 'no reason' for crash involving Tony Stewart
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The father of the driver run over and killed by Tony Stewart told The Syracuse Post-Standard that "there's no reason for" the crash that led to his son's death.
Criminal charge still possible for Tony Stewart in driver's death
Tony Stewart could still face criminal charges for running down Kevin Ward Jr. with his sprint car, even if the three-time NASCAR champion didn't mean to kill Ward, hurt him or even scare him.

thank you lt for introducing me to this book - so many of the top 100 members with my books gave this a great rating that i had to give it a try, though victorian novels are usually at the bottom of my list - i finished it a half hour ago and feel like i'm just stepping off the roller coaster - i couldn't put it down and was breathless for much of the book -
i'm glad that i knew nothing of the plot for that kept all the surprises intact - every twist and turn was unexpected - and the characterizations and prose added so much to the already intriguing story - in ways it reminds me of the best of fiction - intriguing characters with great plotline and a fulfilling ending - i plan to read more of sarah waters soon!
So much fun. When I first began Fingersmith, it looked like I was getting in a fairly typical dark Victorian drama. However, where everything seemed obvious on the surface, nothing was ever as it first appeared. I was hit with a plot twist so unexpected and surprising that I actually laughed out loud. I love when an author is able to completely catch me off guard, and Water does so in a remarkably deft and fluid manner. In a nutshell, the story is about how the lives of two innocent young women are affected by the greed and deception of those they depend on. The plot relies on many classic Gothic themes-a madhouse, thievery and double-crossing, inheritance claims, forbidden romance- yet the overall premise remains fresh and unique.
This modern literary classic is very well written and for the most part a good page turner, but I am not entirely sure what I thought about it and whether I really liked it. It is difficult to describe the plot without giving too much away, but it is a novel set in mid Victorian times about changing identities, multiple deceptions and the yawning gulf between different classes of people at the time. It is also a novel dealing with mental illness and the most shocking parts of the book for me were the horrible descriptions of how mentally ill women (and such men as well, no doubt, though they don't feature in this novel) were treated at the time to try to shock or force them out of their condition. I wasn't keen on the conclusion and the very ending, slightly reminiscent in some ways of the ending of Dickens's Great Expectations, I found ambiguous and rather unsatisfactory. I didn't much care for either of the main two female characters, Maud and Susan, though one or two of the lesser characters (such as Mrs Sucksby) came across as being quite Dickensian.
Twists and turns through Victorian England, dipping into the world of fingersmiths (don't be looking for the Artful Dodger among these thieves, though)and the gentry. Waters weaves the tale one way, then the other, intertwining the stories of two orphans with surprising twists and knots. Dark, surprising, well written.
I don't give 4 or 5 star reviews very often, so when I do, the book has to have really impressed me. This one, written in our modern age, is a true Victorian Gothic novel. This story revolves around 2 orphaned girls, Susan & Maud. Maud was raised as a gentlewoman on a large estate in the country by her uncle, an eccentric scholar. Susan was raised in an area of London known as The Borough, by a partnership of "sharpers", meaning thieves & fences. However, when a plan is cooked up & Susan sent to the country to become Maud's new maid in a money bilking scheme, is when the story starts to spin. The plot twists spin, & spin again until you're just about dizzy with it. It's funny, sad, touching, shocking, & mesmerizing all at the same time. Any fan of historical fiction is going to LOVE this one.
The author is an award winning one, & this book itself was short listed for the prestigious Man Booker prize back in 2002. Even though it didn't win, it was an honor just to be nominated, & even more to be drawn for the short list of books considered.
It's on one of the various editions of 1001 Books To Read Before You Die...which is where I found it. WELL worth the read!

Sue Trinder is an orphan, left as an infant in the care of Mrs. Sucksby, a "baby farmer," who raised her with unusual tenderness, as if Sue were her own. Mrs. Sucksby's household, with its fussy babies calmed with doses of gin, also hosts a transient family of petty thieves-fingersmiths-for whom this house in the heart of a mean London slum is home. One day, the most beloved thief of all arrives-Gentleman, a somewhat elegant con man, who carries with him an enticing proposition for Sue: If she wins a position as the maid to Maud Lilly, a na�ve gentlewoman, and aids Gentleman in her seduction, then they will all share in Maud's vast inheritance. Once the inheritance is secured, Maud will be left to live out her days in a mental hospital. With dreams of paying back the kindness of her adopted family, Sue agrees to the plan. Once in, however, Sue begins to pity her helpless mark and care for Maud Lilly in unexpected ways . . . . But no one and nothing is as it seems in this Dickensian novel of thrills and surprises. --Publisher.… (more)

- Family vs PriceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/25/2014Food was very good but the menu prices are high. Makes it difficult to have a reasonably priced dinner when you have a large group. If the prices were lower I would have came with more people in my group!Special Features:
- Needs HelpOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/24/2014When i made the reservations I made a note that I did not want to sit at a table with 8-10 people. I do not like being crowed and cant move. When we arrived there were 4 of us. At the desk, I told them again that I did not want to seated with alot of people since we are on the larger size and wanted a little more room. I noticed that there were several large people seated in the lobby. The employee said to me how about 3 more people, I said no, only 2 more. He proceeded to ignore me and seat the people with us. While seated the employee came to the table and tried to add more people. Also my pet peeve is, clearing the table while people are still eating. THAT IS RUDE. I was still eating and the busboy is taking my plates.Special Features:
- Too coldOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/22/2014celebrated my daughters bday. It was nice... nothing special. Just miss having actual Japanese chefs. Wish it wasn't that cold in there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Always a great timeDiverdownDined on 9/16/2014We are big fans of Benihana. Most folks when visiting us request a trip to this restaurant because of how special they make you feel. My birthday dinner was no exception. Despite a snafu in reservations we were seated quickly and had a stellar view of the river. No other groups joined us so we had a private table. Shared tables are often fun, but this made for a nice romantic meal with my spouse. The presentation is superb, and the skilled chefs are a joy to watch. My tip to you is to try the Chateaubriand because there is no better cut on the menu. Enjoy!Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014My family and I went to Benihanas for my Birthday. We made reservations ahead of time as we had a party of 9. They had our table ready at the time they said they would, food was great, our server was very friendly and handled our large party very well. The chef put on quite a show, he didn't just cook our food he actually laughed and joked with us. Overall we had a blast and would recommend this place to anyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for a birthdayJustJoDined on 8/17/2014We had a great time. I mentioned my son's birthday on my reservation and was delighted that they sang to him, brought a special dessert, and even took and printed a photo of our group for him. As always, the food and service was excellent and the view can't be matched. There's nothing like enjoying an Exotic Mojito and watching dolphins swim by!Special Features:
- MehOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/10/2014My husband I are big fans of hitachi/teppan yaki style dining. though we know the food we be the same at most places, the entertainment is what we really go for. Our visit to Benihana in Stuart left me disappointed and I think from now on we will stick to the smaller Japanese places and not a chain. The chef just looked bored and had very little interaction with our table. food was cooked perfectly though. in the middle of eating a bus person was vacuuming right behind me for a good 5 minutes! this is really gross! After finding a piece of hair in my veggies I was just done. Beautiful scenery and view but I would definitely not return.Special Features:
- Micasalindaybonita4Dined on 8/7/2014The waitress since the begining was extremely rude, the noise in the table next to us was extremely loud, the waitress just want ends us to leave we were planning on going back the 13 or 14 of August to celebrate a 15 year old birthday but we will think 5 times before, the waitress brought us the ice cream before the extra fried rice we order, the only time she was kind of nice was when she brought the check and we were so upset because we loved this restaurant that we always live good tips but we only left 2 dollars, we were going to complain withh the manager but we didn't want to create a scene. What we thought it was going to be a great experience was terrible because of the attitude of the attitude of the waitress. The chef was great.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, but we were rushed.Love2dineDined on 8/6/2014The chef was talented. Entertaining. I thought my teenage nephews and my brother would enjoy the experience. My husband ordered a bottle of wine. Our server poured the wine. We ordered our meals. The next pour was dumped into our glasses almost to the top. The bottle was completely vertical. Ugh. The food was prepared perfectly. Delish. Two minutes after we began eating our server returned to the table and asked us if we needed Togo boxes. I snapped. 'How can we possibly know at this point?' Embarrassing. There was no reason to rush us like that. I will try Benihana again, but I better not experience that again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great PlaceluvBeniDined on 8/5/2014This is our favorite place to go when we have guests in town, or just when we want a romantic evening out. Food is outstanding, the ambience is great. The chefs are entertaining and very good at their jobs. Server staff have been marvelous each time we have gone. My husband tried for years to get me to go to this restaurant. I do not like anything new, and like very few differant types of foods. Once I ate here one time, I rarely ask to go anywhere else.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- overall very goodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/3/2014our family attends a few times a year, and the experience is always great.Special Features:

- BenihanaNitpickerDined on 7/19/2014I had a great time. The food was exceptional. The Cook was great...very personable and fun.Special Features:
- Too much for too littleOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014The atmosphere is amazing but the food was not. The only part we really enjoyed was the meat. They charge 3.50 a person for fried rice. The white rice that is offered was awful. Dry and sticky. You get a sliver of zucchini and a couple mushrooms. Would not go back or recommend to anyone.Special Features:
- Birthday Celebration for family!!!!GoodeatsDined on 7/17/2014Love the service in this restaurant! Responsive and friendly! Also loved the convenience of making reservations online. The food is fresh and delicious. My only critique would be the chicken was a little chewy. Maybe needed marinating? Even though, my meal was delicious and filling. It's such a fun place to go for birthdays of all ages! The view is spectacular!!Special Features:
- Excellent!SoundtrackFanaticDined on 7/15/2014I loved my experience. The service with tricks were funny and the food was delectable as usual.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A THANK YOU OPTIONREPEATCUSTOMERSDined on 7/11/2014Our visit to Benihana was once again fantastic. The food was spectacular, service very good, and the Chef was entertaining. One suggestion would be to somehow offer discount coupons to your repeat customers. Clients that continually pay top dollar and are repeat customers,deserve some form of recognition: Half-price on second meal, free drink for two, priority table reservation on line, something. Everyone likes to be appreciated and I think this is something that needs to be implemented.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service is slippingLuigiDined on 7/10/2014Chef was good,however,the "server" did not serve,just handed stuff over the hot grill and required diners to reach over and get their own food. Perhaps Benihana did not train this employee and he seemed ignorant of the proper way to serve at a restaurantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow serviceDaniDined on 7/2/2014It's our 3rd visit with kids and the second time we have to wait 45 Minutes At the table , because there are not enough cooks! Little kids were restless and bored not to mention hungry!!! Food is ok , the "show" is fun. Place is very cold , bring a sweater. And you will have to wash your clothes immediately after you leave because the smell is very strongSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- funmikeDined on 6/28/2014had a great time with the family. I would go back often. I recommend it to a lot of people. I hope to be back there soon. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously. I hope that everybody else can enjoy it too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious and fun!mcmamapieDined on 6/25/2014The chicken fried rice was delicious! My kids loved watching the chef prepare it. all of the food was amazing- chicken, shrimp, steak, noodles. It was our son's birthday and the server and chef were extra sweet to him. We will definitely be back!Special Features:

- Great view and foodMomofthreeDined on 6/21/2014Benihana's always delivers a great meal and interesting table-side cooking by experienced chefs. The lunch menu offers a great value for about 40% less than you would pay at dinner time.

The service was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

This skinsuit pictured is really a tale of a new-found friendship. About a month ago I posted a couple of new jerseys coming out from various brands in our cycling world over the course of a week. Yasutake Enomoto, sent me a twitter shot of himself with one of his Strawberry kits on standing with Austin Horse at a CX race in Japan, asking me my thoughts on it. I told him "It was amazing" I also asked him what other designs he had done, if any were available for sale and how could I get one over here in the States.

Online Exclusive - Lumeria, Maui, HawaiiNov 7, 2012
By Ashleigh VanHouten
Originally designed in 1909 by Honolulu architect H. L. Kerr, the restoration of the 26,000-square-foot complex (previously a convalescent home for retired plantation executives) offered no shortage of design challenges. "It would have been much easier to tear down the buildings and start over," says Balbes. "The foundations, the structure, all had to be rebuilt while working around all of the small pieces that were able to stay." The aesthetic of the restoration calls to mind Craftsman style, embellished with a mix of "neoclassical and vernacular Japanese details."
Colors, textures, and materials throughout the retreat are inspired by the light and plant life on the property, and "listening to what color the building wanted to be." The lobby, for instance, mimics the colors of the rainbows that arch over the property almost daily. Borrowing furnishings and artwork from around the world—Morocco, Indonesia, England, France, Japan, China, the United States, and Poland, to name a few—the 24 guestrooms and suites feature hardwood floors and Japanese tansu cabinetry, and some come equipped with Indonesian-style daybeds and plantation-style desks and chairs. Bathrooms boast walk-in Japanese-designed showers with rain showerheads and river rock shower floors.
As much of Balbes' long and storied career focused on high-end, single family residences for private clients, he says the design process for Lumeria was a unique challenge. "Welcoming in guests and not truly understanding each of their particular needs for space, I had to design from a perspective that balanced the receiving of the public with a desire for them to experience this retreat, in some ways, like their second home."

Facebook filed suit against German social networking site studiVZ last Friday in a California federal court. Facebook claims the German Web site has lifted its look and feel and is seeking monetary compensation, reports vnunet.com.
studivz, owned by German publisher Verlagsgruppe Georg Von Holtzbrink, claimed approximately 10 million users in April. Most of its users are from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
In response to Facebook, the company filed for a declaratory judgment at the District Court in Stuggart. According to BBC News, Studivz calls the suit all show and no substance, arguing that Facebook is only suing it because they have not managed success in the German market like they have found in the U.S. and other markets.

The current Horizon Integrated Library System (ILS) was selected more than 12 years ago. The BPL is in the process of moving to its new Polaris system. The library had begun the search for a replacement system in 2006, but had put off any decision due to a combination of staff capacity, funding, and competing organizational priorities. The project was picked up again in late 2009 as the older system inched closer to its hardware and software "end of life" dates, and its lack of flexibility became more and more unbearable for staff. The ILS upgrade was viewed as a major component of broader technology upgrade plans. Requirements were developed and research conducted. This work was ultimately formalized in a City of Boston RFP procurement process leading to a Board of Trustee vote in February of 2012 selecting Polaris as the company and product to replace Horizon. Please look out for a future post on some of the new features that will be available and how they will help staff serve patrons better and more directly.

Computer Systems Upgrade – ILSPosted on December 6th, 2012 by David Leonard in Collections, Major Projects, Technology
The Boston Public Library is counting down the final days to a major computer systems upgrade. The new system from Polaris will replace the 12 year-old implementation of our Horizon Integrated Library System or ILS. The ILS is the system that staff use to run the library, from checking in and checking out books, doing catalog searches, maintaining inventories of items, catalog data, and patron data and helps provide secure access to patrons for other services from wifi to printing and remote access over the web. It is also used for purchasing, acquiring, and processing new books, for filling patron holds and routing books throughout the system. The BPL ILS also services 8 other libraries throughout the Greater Boston Area as part of the Metro Boston Library Network, which also includes several Boston Public School Libraries. For specific information about the migration and its impact, please check here or keep an eye on this blog for upcoming posts with more background information.

Profiles – Byron Rushing, Massachusetts House of Representatives; Trustee, Boston Public Library; Chair, BPL Strategic Planning CommitteePosted on July 21st, 2012 by Gina Perille in Profiles
One of the things that makes Representative Byron Rushing's work for the library a pleasure is the positive feedback he gets from its users. "If you ask people what they don't like about the library, there's very, very little that people say. People love libraries. People use words like that," he says. "In fact, most of the suggestions I hear are to make the library more accessible and keep it as up to date as possible."
That, of course, takes money, which prompts Byron to reflect on the library's role as a public institution. "I think one of the things that people take for granted about libraries is one of the most profound things about them, and that's that they are public institutions," he says. "We really have very few public institutions—schools, parks—and there are not many public institutions we have that serve so many and such a variety of people."
"Think about it," he says. "When you compare libraries to parks, it's sort of interesting, because in most parks, you can't go pick the flowers. You'll get arrested if you go to some parks and say, 'Oh what wonderful flowers, I'm going to take some home.' So think about how remarkable it is to be a library, because we let you borrow the books and the DVDs and even computers. What is so remarkable about the libraries is that they are a real example of a public institution and what it means to be a public institution."
What it all comes down to is chiseled in granite above the doors of the Central Library in Copley Square: Free to all. "You can't take that sign down," Byron points out. "And everyone, when they see that, they know what that means. It means that all of the services of the library are available to everybody. And everyone knows to do that costs money. That's the remarkable thing about a public institution—the public says we are actually willing to pay money in order for it to be available to everybody. We never want to get to a point where a significant amount of tax dollars aren't going to the library, because that's a significant part of what makes it public."
Still, Byron believes that it's important to find ways to add to the coffers with private funds. Those public dollars need to be supplemented. The library, like other cultural institutions, has the ability to raise money. A great future source of sustainability is the people who use the library for free, who "love the library," and would welcome an opportunity to give back.
Underlying all of Byron's activities on behalf of the Boston Public Library is a strong belief in the library's robust future. "I'm a library user, I love libraries, and I've had an ongoing relationship with various branches over the years as I've done work in Boston," he says. "I think that the library has an incredible constituency, which is bigger than its users, because people like libraries even if they buy books. The major resource the library has for sustaining itself is all the people who use it and love it."
Profiles – Joshua Kraft, President & CEO, Boys & Girls Club of Boston; BPL Compass Committee MemberPosted on July 20th, 2012 by Gina Perille in Profiles
He doesn't live in Boston. And by his own description, he's a "bookstore guy" more than a library user. Then why is the president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Boston active with the Boston Public Library?
To Josh Kraft, the answer is simple. "Education is the great equalizer," he says. "We all know that, and libraries are free and open to anyone and everyone, which makes them a great equalizer, too."
The Boys & Girls Club of Boston serves approximately 14,000 children, ages six to 18–49% of whom come from families with an income of less than $27,000, according to Josh. "We try to do as much as we can for kids," he says. "In order to sustain our ability, we partner with other nonprofits, be it the Boston Public Library or other education-based organizations."
That partnership can take many forms, such as bringing kids into the library to view a recent Civil War exhibition. And Josh envisions future library-based programs that could help club members gain access to college and apply for financial aid. "Partnerships with other nonprofits will help get more kids into the library," says Josh.

In the money finish for Stevens in comeback race
Sportsbooks - Online Sportsbook, Casino & Racebook All RSS Feeds
Arcadia, CA (Sportsbooks) - Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens made a successful return to the races as he began his comeback from retirement at Santa Anita Park. Stevens had one mount on Sunday's card after announcing Thursday his return to riding.
"I'm fit, I'm healthy," said the three-time Kentucky Derby winner. "It's been a long process getting where I'm at right now. It's been almost three months and it's something that I've worked very hard at getting to this point."
Stevens rode Jebrica in the sixth race at Santa Anita for trainer Jim Penney. The 49-year-old jockey had his mount racing second along the rail in the mile turf race.
Stevens moved his horse to the lead inside the furlong pole, but couldn't hold off a pair of late running horses. Jebrica and Stevens finished third, a neck behind the winner and a nose off second-place.
"My knees probably didn't feel this good the last five years that I rode," said Stevens on Thursday. "I've been getting on horses for the past eight weeks and there's been a lot of speculation about me coming back. I've worked some exciting horses over the past couple of weeks. A couple in particular that kinda made the hair stand up on the back of my neck, and I said 'Man, I missed this,' just the feeling of that straight power and speed underneath you."
The Idaho native has been working as an analyst for HRTV and NBC, and appeared in the movie "Seabiscuit" as jockey George Woolf. Stevens said that following his ride on Sunday, he would return to the HRTV set and for the time being, he would remain as an analyst with both HRTV and NBC.
Stevens, inducted into Racing's Hall of Fame in 1997, retired from racing seven years ago, but did have one mount in 2008 in a race with other Hall of Fame jockeys. .
The 1998 champion jockey, Stevens has won 4,888 races from 27,595 mounts for more than $221 million.

Dolly Parton Writes Her First Children's Book: 'I Am A Rainbow'
Dolly Parton created a charity 13 years ago to provide books to children and encourage literacy.
Now her first children's book, "I Am a Rainbow," will be featured in the philanthropy.
The 63-year-old Parton says working on projects for children gives her a chance to play and live a second childhood.
The book she wrote describes how colors can be used to explain emotions children have.
Parton had no say in the book's selection for her charity, Imagination Library. A committee of teachers, child development experts and parents picks the books supplied to 1,000 communities in 47 states, the United Kingdom and Canada.
Proceeds from the sale of Parton's book will benefit the charity.

Success in one area of a "problem-solving criminal court" in this part of the Fourth Judicial Circuit has led to the addition to two more areas, and Fayette County is among the latest to be a part of that latest addition.
Fayette, Clay and Jasper counties joined Effingham and Christian counties two weeks ago in the mental health and veterans aspect of the "problem-solving court" operated in Effingham County.
The Vandalia area will be full of activities this Saturday, with the main event being the annual period celebration at Illinois' oldest existing capitol.
In addition to the the 45th annual Grande Levée, the Saturday activities include the annual Harvest Festival in downtown Vandalia, as well as the Happy Hollow Farms Fall Festival south of St. Elmo and the annual Jordan fuNFest at Gatch Lake.
The Grande Levée actually kicks off on Friday evening, with the old-fashioned ham and beans dinner getting under way at 5 p.m.
25 Years Ago
1989 – Brooke File, a Vandalia Community High School junior, was crowned homecoming queen.
Scott Smith of St. Elmo won the IHSA Regional Golf Tournament at Robinson for the second straight year. The St. Elmo golf team made school history by advancing to the sectional for the first time. In addition to Smith, other top scorers were Randy Heckert, Matt Weaber and Anthony Ireland.
• Elmer W. Oestringr, 34, Highland, was arrested on Sept. 29 on charges of possession of cannabis and possession of drug paraphernalia. Bond was $1,500.
• Gregory S. Moulton, 46, 320 W. St. Clair St., Vandalia, was arrested on Sept. 29 on an alleged violation of bail bond-failed drug test. No bond information was listed.
• Harley R. Pierce, 22, 1406 W. Jefferson St., Vandalia, turned himself in on a warrant on a charge of retail theft. Bond was $1,500.
The fourth annual Jordan fuNFest is being held this Saturday at Gatch Lake from noon-6 p.m.
The event is being held to raise funds for the fight against neurofibromatosis, a highly variable, complicated and progressive genetic disorder that can cause tumors to grow anywhere in the body at any time.
Jordan Walk, daughter of Brian and Amanda Walk, was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis in March 2010.
She has an optic nerve glioma (a tumor directly behind the eye). It is currently stable and has been for four years, and is closely monitored through eye exams.
Visiting last week with my sister, Sandy, our conversation turned to earthquakes.
Sandy left Illinois, and its accompanying earthquakes and tornadoes, when she was 18. She married James "Zeke" Sampson, a Navy man, and he took her to the world of hurricanes and rapid deployment.
After living in Norfolk, Va., where she witnessed several hurricanes and had her first son, the family was stationed at Roosevelt Roads Naval Air Station, Puerto Rico, with its tropical depressions and daily 3 p.m. deluges.

Kiri To Mayu (Fog And Coccoon) (English Version) Lyrics
I don't need this body which will only grow weaker and rot
Even though we could have loved each other forever
So that you'll love me this way always
I want to see your happy smiling face forever
When I swallow the capsule... that I always kept locked in my desk
We can kiss forever. How long has it been since then?
Without you in my world, the sun has set.
I've said goodbye to those around me one after another but,
I gave you a kiss as you slept quietly.
I've lived out the time without you, that can't be turned back
The memory tortures me, since then something new began.
The flowers we grew together back then
Now bloom in profusion beautifully by your side
Even a moment of joy pains me through this long night
With a cold knife to close my eyes eternally...
