TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Grand Pacific Victoria
We were able to check in early and were upgraded to beautiful suites with two balconies and wrap around windows overlooking Victoria's inner Harbour. The staff have all been friendly, accommodating and helpful. The room is so comfortable and the bed is heavenly after a long day sightseeing. The food in The Pacific restaurant is divine, especially the chocolate tart! There is also a cafe open daily serving coffee, light meals and snacks. I have loved staying at the hotel and don't really want to leave. A wonderful hotel!

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Grand Pacific Victoria
Hotel Grand Pacific best location
Was in Victoria over July 4th holiday, and chose the Hotel Grand Pacific for a 3-night stay, and got good rates through Trip Advisor's SmartDeals. Travelled with my husband and parents and on check-in was told we had adjoing rooms. "Great!" I said. Then on further reflection, asked if it would be possible to have NON adjoining rooms. The deskperson was extremely polite and accommodating, and said he'd see what he could do. We ended up getting a room on the top (10th) floor in the West wing, which the bellman whispered to me was the best room in the house, the biggest standard room they had, and he was right. It was quite large, and had a view looking directly at the Empress, and overlooking the Inner Harbor. Though the room was huge, the bathroom was pretty small, but had polished granite counter top and tub surround, and an extra sink outside the bathroom; luxurious towels and aromatherapy bath amenities; a framed, bevelled-glass mirror and wall sconce lighting. The king-size bed was very comfortable, though the sham and duvet smelled musty. On the other hand, my parents were in their original room, which was on the top (6th) floor of the East wing (mom asked to be on the lower floor). For the same price, their room had old, stained carpet, formica counters in the bathroom, one sink and dull lighting that on a glance looked like flourescent. I don't know if all the rooms in the West wing are better, but you might request that, and to be on the top floor if possible. The health club was better than many I've seen in equivalent hotels, with a large pool, a yoga room and several cardio machines; it's actually used by non-guests, too. There's a handy street-level cafe for grabbing food on the go (expensive and skip the muffins) with free internet access on 2 computers if you buy something. The staff could not have been more friendly, courteous and helpful with good suggestions for dining. The location cannot be beat. You're next door to the parliament buildings (but you can't see them from the hotel, and that's something you must walk out and see at night, when they're outlined in white lights), and just 2 blocks from the Empress. We only got in the car once while we were there. Please make this your first consideration for lodging if you can find a good deal. I didn't see anywhere else I would have rather stayed for the location!
Great Hotel
We just returned from a 4 day stay in Victoria at the Hotel Grand Pacific. It is a beautiful hotel and
we were so pleasantly surprised for the price. Location can't be beat. Staff is wonderful and makes you feel appreciated and special. Wouldn't
stay anywhere else in Victoria now that we know
about this Hotel.
Best hotel in Victoria
I've stayed at most of the higher end hotels in Victoria for both business and pleasure. Recently I've started staying at the Grand Pacific and it is absolutely my hotel of choice now. The location is fantastic. The pool and fitness facility are among the best I've seen in a hotel (and I've seen a lot). The rooms are very well appointed and comfortable. But it is the attitude and service from the staff that makes me give this hotel my vote. The staff seem genuinely happy and go out of their way to help you. I'll be back.
Awesome....Great Location!
We just got back 4/10 from our 2 night stay in Victoria and would have to say the Hotel Grand Pacific was Awesome! We have three kids and they loved the pool! The location for walking around the city and harbor was the best we seen. The Parliment building is just beautiful at night and so are all the lights in the trees in front of the hotel. The rooms are VERY nice and the Bellman and staff are so nice, friendly and were always smiling and ready to help. We plan a return trip and will definitely stay here! Our kids loved it!! We also never met anyone that wasn't very helpful and friendly on our stay....it was a great trip!
Wonderful Hotel
I stayed at the Grand Pacific in mid-February 2004 and was very pleased. My room was a suite with a view of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca - especially spectacular first thing inn the morning and at sunset.
Rooms have fine furniture and are well decorated.
The hotel has excellent facilities, including a very large indoor pool and fitness centre.
The location is very convenient to the Conference Centre, Royal BC Museum and Legislature.
Highly recommended!
Great location
Great location with wonderful waterfront views. The hotel was clean and nice size room. In walking distance of the city's sights. The Pacific restaurant was slow in service and we ate better food in other restaurants in the city. They do have a great dessert called Molten Chocolate cake. I enjoyed other places to eat at more.Victoria is a great place to visit!
Great lodging
Spent five nights at the Grand Pacific. Located next to Victoria's inner harbor, it provided a great base to explore the city and surroundings. Although a bit pricey, the 1-bedroom suite is ideal for a family of four and provided exquisite views of the harbor. Service was pleasant and the meals (several breakfasts and one dinner) were very good. Highly recommended.
One of Victoria's best
The facilities are attractive, high-end and modern, it's air-conditioned, the price is reasonable (for a property of this quality) and it's located right on the harbour, a block away from the BC parliament building and about two blocks from the Royal BC Museum (which is a must-see).
There is a large indoor pool, and the restaurant is very good. The espresso bar provided free Internet access when I was there. I think it's a better value than that historic ivy-covered hotel in town, which I've also stayed at in the past, and is far more personal and friendly.
It's not a tourist attraction, which means the lobby is not overrun with gawkers, but it's Marriott-comparable quality I'd say.
Vey Nice
Excellent hotel. Greta Service, great location right on the harbour and just a very nicely appointed hotel. Rooms are great;spotless and spacious. The Grand Pacific makes a good alternative for those who find the Empress just toooo Victorian!
Hotel Grand Pacific
Glad we choose this hotel. Upscale! Thought it was outstanding - people were helpful, room was great, location was as good as it gets. Would recommend and stay there again.

Chapter 26 - Music
I don't always enjoy hymns and music used in some places. Some songs annoy me. They have a rhythm, and a tempo that is not in rhythm, and in gear with what I feel in my spirit, and it annoys me.
We have so few hymns going back to God. Most of them are salvation hymns.
There are three kinds of hymns:
1. Experience hymns center on self.
2. Prayer hymns are for something or someone.
3. Worship hymns are directed to Him.
He knows our limitations, but when the Spirit keeps moving, He makes one lovely song—our songs, our singing seem very shallow as against the melodies, and the glory, and worship in heaven. Of course, it's very broken, and seems very shallow, but it's the best that we have. "Dear Lord, look on our hearts, and read them; receive from us what little we have."

The question of sin
Would someone please answer this question... Jesus came to free us from sin but sin still remains a struggle in the lives of His church. How exactly did He free us from sin as He said in John 10? Surely God can give abundant grace to His children so that they sin no more but its as if though He holds back that grace and allows the struggle though He hates sin.. Could someone find a consensus here?

According to IDC, Google now enjoys a significant lead in mobile advertising, with a market share of 59 percent, including search and display advertising. Apple's market share is 8.4 percent, and Millennial Media is at 6.8 percent. For mobile Internet display ads, however, Google and Apple are tied at 19 percent market share each (Millennial Media comes in at 15 percent). Google owns mobile search advertising, with an ad revenue market share of 91.4 percent. IDC research vice president of digital media and entertainment Karsten Weide says that market growth this year was 146 percent. He also revealed that search advertising dominates the mobile ad marketplace, with display much more fragmented. Total U.S. mobile online ad spending for 2010, including search and display advertising, will be an estimated $877.2 million.
Google now activates 300,000 new Android-based mobile devices every day. In August, the company announced that it was activating 200,000 such devices each day. Gartner released a study that 25.5 percent of all the smart phones globally are based on the Android operating system, a huge leap upward from 3.5 percent penetration one year ago. An IDC study also showed that the Android OS is on track to become Europe's top smart phone platform next year, surpassing Symbian and Apple's iOS.
Another study, by Arieso, revealed that Android-based smart phone users use more data than either iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS users. The study cited users of Samsung Galaxy, who upload 126 percent more data than iPhone3G users, and users of HTC Desire, who download 41 percent more data than iPhone3G users.

Could This New Invention Eliminate Animal Drug Testing?
Photographed By Jessica Nash.
Of all the advances in modern medicine, the ability to create human tissue in a laboratory probably has the biggest sci-fi factor. Just last week, scientists implanted a lab-grown trachea in a cancer patient in Eritrea. And, scientists are only years away from being able to produce fully functional livers, lungs, kidneys and hearts with 3-D printers. Things are getting, as they say, pretty real.
Of course, aside from the obvious direct human benefits, there's at least one other reason to be excited about the ability to grow organs in a dish: clinical drug testing. A new project from Los Alamos National Laboratory provides scientists with a "desktop human," complete with a synthetic liver, heart, lung, and kidney. The device, known as the Advanced Tissue-engineered Human Ectypal Network Analyzer (or ATHENA), is designed for mass production and easy use in a lab setting, with each organ about the size of your iPhone's screen. Researchers eventually hope to build a more complex system that integrates body processes like blood flow and metabolism. Click to the next page to see an artist's rendering of ATHENA.
Of course, an invention like this could completely transform the way scientists go about testing new drugs for safety. With a fully functional replica of a human body at their disposal, researchers can learn exactly how a drug will impact different body systems at the same time, without having to risk giving an untested treatment to a real live human. Even better, systems like ATHENA could eliminate the need to test drugs on animals — at least in theory. Is it just us, or is this a bioethical win-win? (The Verge; Los Alamos National Laboratory)

The next time the kids groan when you suggest taking them to a museum or a historic monument, tell them you're investing in their future—literally.
Educational travel has a clear impact on children's academic performance and career growth, according to a new survey by The Wagner Group, as part of the Travel Effect campaign for the U.S. Travel Association.
"The best part of this survey is that regardless of ethnicity, family income, age and gender, travel's benefits to education and future success is universal," said Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association. "This research shows that simple educational additions to your itinerary whether it's local culture, history or nature can have major impacts on future career success."
Adults who traveled as kids were more likely to graduate from high school and 63 percent of that group went on to graduate from college, according to the research.
The survey analyzed a cross-section of 400 American adults on their perceptions of taking, or not taking, an educational trip between the ages of 12-18.
The study revealed these trips helped in the class room. Among those who traveled, 86 percent believe educational trips made them more intellectually curious inside and outside the classroom, and 59 percent of those who took educational trips achieved better grades, according to the research.
As adults, those who took educational trips in their youth make nearly 12 percent more (or $5,000) annually later in their careers.
But what if the kids aren't convinced?
Here are six ways to make educational trips to museums more fun:
--Let the kids help plan the itinerary, starting with taking a virtual tour before you leave home.
--Stage a scavenger hunt in a museum. Buy post cards when you arrive and look for the "real thing" as you make your way through the exhibit.
--Don't try to see it all! That's impossible in a major museum—or city. Focus on the kids' interests and a couple of museum exhibits.
--Divide and conquer, especially if the kids are different ages and have different interests.
--Seek out interactive family discovery zones.
--Leave when the kids have had enough!
You'll find lots of these are other ideas on TakingtheKids.com and in my Kids City Guides that help kids lead the way, whether you are in Washington, D.C., New York or LA.

Three of us visited this restaurant around 7:30 on a Sunday night and were seated promptly. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Our beverages came quickly, despite the fact the restaurant was busy. She gave us time to enjoy a few sips of wine before coming back to collect our meal orders, so we didn't feel like we were on the fast track "get 'em in, get 'em out".
Something she told us up front was that the dishes come out one at a time. Because they're tapas, they are designed to share, so ordering your food like you would in a traditional restaurant doesn't work well unless you don't mind watching each person eat their dinner in turn. (That's where the wine helps!)
We ordered hummus which came with this puffy and addictive bread. We followed with scallops, mushroom risotto and flank steak with frites. Easily enough in each to share for 3 people.
The music is loud (which makes me officially "old") but it's not annoyingly so - you know, not the kind where you better know how lipread or it's going to be a very conversationally arid evening.
Good beats, good food, good service. Share nicely and you'll have fun.

Dems Get 60 Votes, Beat Back GOP Filibuster On Financial Regulation
Senate Democrats survived a Republican filibuster aimed to prevent bringing financial regulation for a full floor vote.
By a 60-38 tally, the vote effectively ends debate on a bill that would make sweeping changes on the ways banks and Wall Street do business.
Three Republicans — Sens. Olympia Snowe & Susan Collins (both from Maine) and Scott Brown (Mass.) — joined 55 Democrats and two Dem-leaning independents to arrive at the magic number of 60. Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin was the lone Democrat to vote no.
A final vote on the measure, expected later this afternoon, is all but assured of passing. It would give President Obama a second major legislative victory, on the heels of Congress overhauling the health care system.
UPDATE (3 p.m.): The Senate votes, 60-39, to pass the bill. It now goes to Obama for his signature.

No need to comment any more about this, but the shorts are simply making complete fools out of the longs still in this stock. You get bad news, VHC goes down. You get no news, VHC goes down. You get GOOD news, VHC goes down! This stock is an absolute joke and the only people making money are those selling calls to all the suckers. This company isn't going anywhere as there will be delay after delay after delay. Come back in several years and maybe something will have been settled.
Terp, quick question. I know you changed your name from Terp516 to Hogan516 so that nobody would know it was still you bashing. But you forgot one thing though--did you ever consider changing the number too? People are going to figure it out (most have already). Your writing style is exactly the same, so you are making it easy for people. Same style, same number, with constant bashing 24/7---what was the point? Why don't you just go back to Terp now?
Terp/Hogan---seriously, did you really forget to change the number? Or is that necessary for compensation purposes, so they can track how many total posts you have? What is the rate per post by the way, around $1?

Salfacorp Falls in Chile on Profit, Concern on Debt Level
Salfacorp SA retreated the most in three months after reporting a 15 percent decline in quarterly profit and as Banco Santander SA expressed concern over the debt of Chile's largest construction and engineering company.
Salfacorp slumped 3.5 percent to 1,060.5 pesos at the close in Santiago, the biggest loss since Aug. 27. The Ipsa benchmark index retreated 0.1 percent. Salfacorp is the worst performer after Multiexport Foods SA among members of the Ipsa over the past 12 months, with a 22 percent slump.
The company had a profit of 2.9 billion pesos ($6 million) in the third quarter, down from 3.43 billion a year earlier, according to a statement filed yesterday with Chile's securities regulator.
"Although the company did not breach covenants, we are still concerned about the company's relatively high debt levels," Santander analysts Nicolas Khaliliyeh, Francisco Errandonea and Rodrigo Ordonez said in a note to clients today.
IM Trust SA, a Santiago-based brokerage, cut its recommendation for Salfacorp yesterday to hold from buy, saying asset sales have supported the company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda, in the past two quarters.

The existing building is the same one the theater occupied. Two buildings, the theater and its neighbor, were visually integrated at some time by having the theater building's roofline extended across the front of the adjacent building, so the building now looks twice as wide as it did in the old photo of the theater.
Also, the facade details have been removed, the second floor windows filled in, the intricate pattern of the face brick painted over, and the tile has been removed from the roof, but the distinctive brackets under the eaves can still be made out in the Google street view if you zoom in.
According to this online photo exhibit from the Saskatoon Public Library, this house was the second theater in Saskatoon to be called the Daylight. Photo #6 shows the original Daylight Theatre which opened at 321 22nd Street East in 1912.
The second Daylight Theatre opened at 136 Second Street South on January 1, 1917. It is featured in photos #9, #10, and #20 of the library's exhibit. In 1966, the Daylight was drastically remodeled, losing its Palladian facade, and was renamed the Paramount Theatre in August that year. The exhibit has no photos of the house as the Paramount, but there's one here.
The text accompanying photo #10 of the library's exhibit says that the "…interior of the Daylight Theatre was originally likely designed by the architectural firm of Thompson, Daniels and Colthurst."
A 1911 Saskatoon City Directory has the firm's name correctly listed as Thompson, Daniel and Colthurst, and gives the individual names as Norman L. Thompson, T. Brammall Daniel, and G. Buller Colthurst. When I searched for additional information about these architects, the results included the Cinema Treaasures page for the Red Triangle Theatre in Plaistow, London, England, which was located in a 1919 building designed by T. Brammall Daniel. A directory of British architects working between 1834 and 1914 says that Daniel began practicing in Saskatoon in 1911, after having worked in Manchester, England, for a number of years. He must have returned to England not long after the Daylight was built, but the directory doesn't say.
The Paramount is also listed under its original name, the Daylight Theatre, as the name change is noted in the ad Mike Rivest linked to above.
Donovan A. Shilling's book "Rochester: Labor and Leisure" (Google Books preview) says that the Cook Opera House became the Family Theatre in 1913.
The Lyric is a bit mysterious, as Adam Marsland said. However, a couple of sources about Binghamton architect Sanford O. Lacey mention the Lyric as being of his design. I'm not sure when it was built, but I don't find it listed in any of Julius Cahn's Guides from the late 19th or early 20th century.
There are dozens of references to boxing matches being held at the Lyric around 1916-1917, and one reference to a bout held there as early as 1909. My guess would be that the Lyric was opened sometime between 1905, when the 1906 Cahn Guide (the most recent edition available to me) probably went to press, and March 26, 1909, when Battling Jim Johnson in his first fight defeated Battling Brooks by a TKO.
The architect of the Goodwill Theatre was Sanford O. Lacey, then a partner in the firm of Lacey, Schenck, & Cummings. The Goodwill Theatre was built in 1920, and was designed in the Georgian Revival style (a subset of the Colonial Revival style.)
Although the house operated for decades as the Enjoy Theatre, it is now under renovation as part of a project that will include three performance halls as well as other arts facilities, all to be operated by The Goodwill Theatre Inc. (official web site.)
So far, the only performance space in operation appears to be the Firehouse Stage, located (of course) the the town's former firehouse, at the other end of the block from the Goodwill Theatre. I can't find anything on the web site about how the renovation is proceding, or when the theater might be expected to open.
An essay at this web page is primarily about the Strand Theatre, but also has some information about the Star.
The Star Theatre opened on October 20, 1913. It was the second theater of that name to operate on this site, the first having been converted from a storefront cafe in 1908. The house was originally called the Nickle Theater, but operator Ned Kornblite soon renamed it the Star. It was the first regular movie theater in Binghamton.
The 1913 building that replaced it was designed by architect Sanford O. Lacey, who had also designed the Stone Opera House (later called the Riviera Theatre) a few doors down the block. In 1920, Kornblite built the Strand Theatre on a lot next door to the Opera House. He continued to operate both the Star and the Strand until 1935, when he sold them to Comerford Theatres.
The Strand and the Riviera are still standing, though in a sorry state of decay, but the Star Theatre was demolished some time before 1966.
The architectural firm of Leon H. Lempert & Son designed the Cook Opera House. The firm was located in Rochester, and designed numerous theaters there. The other Rochester theaters they had designed, as listed in an ad for the firm in the 1905 editionof Julius Cahn's Official Theatrical Guide, were the National, the Baker, the Lyceum, the Empire, and the Corinthian.
The Rochester, New York, architectural firm Leon H. Lempert & Son placed an ad in the 1905 edition of Julius Cahn's Theatrical Guide. It listed a number of theaters the firm had designed, and the Gilger Opera House in Norwalk, Ohio, was among them.
The entry for Chicago architect John van der Meulen in the 1962 American Architects Directory lists this 1955 theater among his works. Later in his career van der Meulen and his architectural partner Ralph Rapson became known for the American embassies they designed in various cities, including Stockholm, Copenhagen, and The Hague.
The McHenry Theater could still be a handsome Midcentury Modern building if they'd rip that shingled fake mansard and other accumulated bits of ticky-tacky off of it. It deserves better treatment than it's had.
Here is a history of the Star Theatre as a legitimate house, from 1888 to 1919. It only mentions briefly that it then became a movie house called the Criterion.
The Art Institute of Chicago provides this drawing, captioned "Levi Theatre, for Emanuel Levi, Buffalo, N.Y." The drawing might be by the theater's architect, William Worth Carlin. The building was designed in the Romanesque Revival style.
In 1899 the Garrick's architect, William Albert Swasey, designed a building for the Masons at 1042 N. Grand Avenue, which included a theater that operated as the Odeon for over thirty years. I've been unable to discover if the Odeon ever operated as a movie house, though. Does anybody know? It would have to have been before 1936, the year the building was condemned and demolished following a major fire.
Here is a biographical sketch of W.A. Swasey from the Landmarks Association of St. Louis. It mentions the Garrick as well as the Odeon, but only briefly.
The public library of Henderson County, North Carolina, has published a book titled "Buildings as History" which is about the works of Hendersonville architect Erle G. Stillwell. The State Theatre in Greenwood, South Carolina, is listed as one of the many theaters he designed.

Here is a 1947 photo of the State Theatre's auditorium, showing part of the original Mediterranean atmospheric decoration of the sidewall.
The theater first built on this site was opened on April 1, 1925, as the Nu-Strand, according to Margaret Ripley Wolfe's book "Kingsport, Tennessee: a Planned American City" (Google Books preview.)
Following the disastrous fire in December, 1945, the Strand Theatre was rebuilt on the same site, and opened in July, 1947. The rebuilt house seated 1040, about a 20% greater capacity than the 1925 Strand.
The Kingsport Public Library has several photos of the 1947 Strand, and one of the original Strand (which became the Gem Theatre) on Main Street, but there are no photos of the theater building that stood on this site from 1925 to 1945.
This theater opened as the Strand, but was never called the Nu-Strand. When the Nu-Strand Theatre opened on Broad Street in 1925, the original Strand on Main Street became the Gem.
This aerial photo, ca.1916, shows the original Strand/Gem Theatre at center.
The description accompanying this 1946 photo of the Rialto and a neighboring store gives the theater's address as 400 Cherokee Street. It also says that the buildings on this block have been demolished to make way for a parking lot.
The Colonial Theatre is mentioned in a magazine at least as early as 1913, when the January 13 issue of trade journal Electrical Review and Western Electrician said "The Daupin Electrical Supplies Company of Harrisburg, Pa., …recently wired the Colonial Theater, in Harrisburg…."
More interesting is an item in a magazine called New York Topics and International Courier, issue of June 27, 1914:[quote]"'Local talent is now being enlisted in the 'Moviement,' according to an advertisement appearing in newspapers of the Pennsylvania Capital:
"'WANTEDâ€"Motion picture plays, motion picture players. The Colonial Theater announces the formation of a motion picture dramatic company, to be composed of Harrisburg actors and to pose for films made in Harrisburg. Harrisburg comedies, Harrisburg dramas. Harrisburg tragedies. Company will be made up at once. If you want to be a motion picture player, apply now for a position in the companyâ€"no experience required. Scenarios wanted. Cash prizes for the best motion picture stories with scenes laid in Harrisburg. Write your own motion picture and see it played on the screen. Full particulars upon inquiry at the Colonial Theater. If you can act, become a motion picture actor If you can write, become a motion picture author.'
"Well, if Gifford Pinchot wins that Keystone State Senatorship there will be a fine bunch of Penrose machine politicians available as 'movie actors' in Harrisburg."[/quote]I've found nothing else about this attempt to launch a local movie production industry in Harrisburg, but it apparently did nothing to help business at the Colonial. The July 31, 1915, issue of The Moving Picture World ran this item:
"The Colonial theater, Harrisburg, Pa., prominent vaudeville and moving picture establishment, recently closed its doors to the public and will remain so for several months to come, according to announcement made by the management. No definite reasons were assigned for the temporary closing of the theater, but it is generally supposed that the closing Is a matter of business policy decided upon to prevent operation at a loss, for at this season of the year the theatrical business is very poor. The coming to Harrisburg of an International League baseball team has had a decided effect upon the attendance of the afternoon matinees at the theaters."
The Little Theatre's marquee reads "Admission Free" in the first of two additional photos linked from this page (photos 2 and 3 are accessed via links after the "view other images" note on the right, above the thumbnail.) The double bill consisted of two movies released in 1952. As the house was not first-run, the photo might have been from 1953 or later.
The directly linked photo shows patrons, apparently leaving the theater, passing by a table with a jar on it, and a sign reading "You may donate any amount of money that you think your evening's entertainment was worth." I don't know if that was then the regular policy of the house (it was certainly unique if it was) or if it was just for this one program.
The part of the facade visible in these night shots showed some nice architectural detail, probably of terra cotta, but parts of it looked to be deteriorating even at that date.
Here is a 1940 photo of the Boulevard Theatre from the Columbus Metropolitan Library. Click on the "2" where it says "view other images" to see a night shot of the theater's marquee.
The text accompanying the photos at Columbus Metropolitan Library (Ron Newman's comment of May 8, 2005) says that the Beechwold Theatre was designed by the F&Y Building Service.
While the exterior of the theater was predominantly Streamline Moderne, and even displayed some early Midcentury Modern elements, the photos of the interior show that the auditorium was more ornate than the facade. There was still a lot of Art Deco in that interior design, especially in the wall sconces and the decorations above them.

You know how this series sells in your store.
Things are a touch sicker than usual this go-round, which is really saying something, considering the series we are dealing with here. It's well shot and doubtlessly will satisfy hardcore fans of the series.
Lisa Sparxxx, after masturbating for the viewing pleasure of The Bukkake Boys, dons a scuba mask that has had the plastic from the front removed. This makes it perfect for the guys to blast load after load on and near her eyeballs. The cum pools up around and on her eyes, and, eventually, she pours the cum out into her hands and eats it while she stares with bloodshot eyes at the camera.
Trinity James probes herself with a glass dong before her spraying. She quaffs the cum out of a large beaker rigged with a large plastic cup at the top so she doesn't miss a drop when she chugs it down at the scene's end.

Coulter misstated midterm election history, declared Democrats will "go away as a party" if they don't achieve what would be historic gains in HouseBreaking News
On Fox News, Ann Coulter asserted that Democrats "ought to be picking up 60 or 70 seats" in the House of Representatives in this November's midterm elections or "they may as well go away as a party." Coulter based her assertion about Democratic gains on her false claim that "[t]he average of the midterm election pickup since World War II is about 40 seats." In fact, since World War II, the average gain in the House after a midterm election has been about 25 seats.

Twenty-four drivers should start the Brazilian Grand Prix, but to the watching world there may as well only be two of them on the grid. This weekend is all about Sebastian Vettel versus Fernando Alonso.
Inevitably, they were summoned to the traditional Thursday press conference. Accordingly, there were very few questions from the floor not directed to the pair. And those that were aimed at Michael Schumacher, Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton were very often relating to the imminent world title showdown.
As for poor Bruno Senna, he fielded a grand total of two questions from the master of ceremonies, Bob Constanduros, but spent the bulk of the 30-minute press conference with nothing more to do than take the odd photograph on his phone.
In many ways, the Williams driver was the one asymmetrical part of proceedings. Massa, Hamilton and Schumacher have all played leading roles in Interlagos shoot-outs in the past, including arguably the most dramatic climax to any season back in 2008.
Vettel and Alonso sat in the front row, flanking Schumacher. While Vettel was as relaxed as he always is, grinning and joking with Schumacher in much the manner you might expect from a man who has a 13-point lead over his rival, and a car advantage.
Fernando Alonso during Thursday's press conference © XPB
Alonso spent most of the conference staring intently ahead, his intensity only momentarily broken by a smile in response to some private quip from Schumacher.
It was no boxing-style pantomime of a press conference, but it definitely told us something about the relative states of mind of the two main protagonists. There is, however, one thing that may give Vettel cause for concern, specifically rain.
It's not that he's any less of a driver in the rain, that famous pole position and victory for Scuderia Toro Rosso at Monza in 2008 is evidence of that, but Alonso has seized on inclement weather brilliantly this year. Arguably, he would not have won in Malaysia or Germany without the assistance of rain, and he might not have finished second at Silverstone without it.
"Weather-wise, it's Sao Paulo," said Alonso. "It's the same as if you go to Spa, things can happen quickly and the weather can change a lot here.
"I spoke to some locals and I think there was big rain two days ago, which wasn't expected. Probably for Saturday and Sunday there's some rain on the way. But then again, you don't know how much and when."
It's a fair summary and Alonso's explanation of the situation tells you everything you need to know about his expectations. In a normal race, he's unlikely to pull off a 13-point turnaround and all he can do is focus on getting onto the podium and hoping for a disaster for Vettel.
"We need to try to do a normal weekend, try to score as many points as we can," he said. "Obviously it will be good to be in the podium and score a minimum 15 points and then when we cross the line, we see where Sebastian is.
"The first priority for us is to be on the podium. It is not in our hands. We have not much to lose. We have only the possibility to win something."
That nothing-to-lose mindset is arguably the strongest weapon in Alonso's armoury. He'll certainly be able to take that approach, although whether the under-pressure team will be able to is another story.
But they have both been here before. Alonso has lost more world championship showdowns (two) than he has won (one), while Vettel's 100 per cent record came after a 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that he started 15 points behind the Spaniard.
Then again, Interlagos really is one of those circuits where things just happen. Straightforward Brazilian Grands Prix are few and far between...
