In today's preview, we look at the complex ceremonies known as rituals. R&D's Peter Schaefer walks us through how they are cast, and what they can achieve.
Welcome wizards, clerics, and other initiates to Rituals 101, where you will learn what rituals are and what they are not.
Rituals take time to cast. Unlike a wizard's spells or a cleric's prayers, which can be cast under pressure and at a moment's notice, rituals require preparation, costly components, and time—these are effects that must wait for a quiet moment before you call on their power.
Rituals are used for effects you cannot accomplish in other ways. Looking upon a creature from afar, traveling halfway across the world with a few steps, speaking with distant friends, leaving behind a mouth to speak your message: these are all capabilities that rituals offer. Some rituals supply the abilities of absent comrades, such as magically opening locks or sensing secret doors. Using them in such a way, however, is rarely your first choice; letting the rogue pick the lock is the cheaper and faster option.
Some powers that will be familiar from past editions of the game now reside in rituals. Enduring illusions, for example—from false walls to goblins made from nothing but trickery—are rituals. You can also summon a prepared treasure chest full of gear (or empty, to fill it with treasure), or create a floating disk to carry your loot. Rituals help you understand languages you've never studied, conjure mounts, and lift curses and diseases from your friends.
Rituals fall into one of nine categories:
That's a look at what rituals are. Here's what they are not. Rituals are not buffs for combat. There are no rituals that give you temporary hit points, make your attacks do more damage, let you fly above the battlefield, or wrap you in coronas of flame that scorch your enemies.
That said, rituals can tactically inform combat: If you cast Arcane Lock on the door to the barracks before the alarm went off, if you cast Water Breathing before fighting in the city of canals, if you used an illusion to increase your apparent numbers, then you may well have gained an advantage in a fight. Rituals are primarily utility, and can only be used for tactical advantage by the clever.--Peter Schaefer
Rituals are complex ceremonies that create magic effects. You don't memorize or prepare a ritual; a ritual is so long and complex that no one could ever commit the whole thing to memory. To perform a ritual, you need to read from a book or a scroll containing it.
A ritual book contains one or more rituals that you can use as often and as many times as you like, as long as you can spare the time and the components to perform the ritual.
A ritual scroll contains a single ritual, and you can perform the ritual from that scroll only once. After that, the magic contained in the scroll is expended, and the scroll turns to dust. Anyone can use a ritual scroll to perform the ritual it contains, as long as the appropriate components are expended.
To perform a ritual that you have mastered, you spend a certain amount of time (specified in the ritual description) performing various actions appropriate to the ritual. The actions might include reading long passages out of the ritual book, scribing complex diagrams on the ground, burning special incense or sprinkling mystic reagents at appropriate times, or performing a long set of meticulous gestures. The specific activities required aren't described in most ritual descriptions; they're left to your imagination.
A ritual requires certain esoteric components, which you purchase before you perform the ritual and which are expended when the ritual is complete. Each ritual specifies the cost of the components you need.
If a ritual requires a skill check, the check usually determines the ritual's effectiveness. Even if the check result is low, a ritual usually succeeds, but if the result is high, you can usually achieve better effects.
Rituals are described in a consistent format, the elements of which are outlined below.
Name and Flavor Text
Beneath a ritual's name is a short passage of flavor text that tells what a ritual accomplishes, sometimes expressing that information in terms of what the ritual looks like or sounds like as it's being performed.
Each ritual has a level. You have to be that level or higher to perform the ritual from a book or to copy it.
Performing a ritual takes the specified amount of time. Using a scroll cuts that time in half.
This entry shows how long a ritual's effects last after the completion of the ritual. The effects of a ritual usually last longer than those of a power.
Component Cost
This is the value of the components that must be expended to perform a ritual. A ritual's key skill determines the kind of components required.
You can use the components associated with a key skill for any ritual that uses that skill. For example, if you stock up on alchemical reagents, you can use them when you perform any Arcana-based ritual. Ritual components are not interchangeable; you can't use alchemical reagents to perform a ritual requiring sanctified incense, for example. But you can use residuum for any ritual.
You can buy ritual components at some shops, your allies can provide them (sharing the cost of a ritual with you), or you might find them as treasure. However you acquire components, record their value on your character sheet. When you perform a ritual, mark off the ritual's cost from the appropriate components.
Some rituals' descriptions note other costs, including healing surges or a focus item (such as a mirror or a crystal ball for a scrying ritual). A focus item is not expended when you perform a ritual.
Market Price
This entry is the cost to purchase a ritual book containing the ritual or to copy a ritual into an existing ritual book. A scroll containing a ritual costs the same amount.
Key Skill
A ritual's key skill determines the type of components required to perform the ritual, and if a ritual requires a skill check, the key skill is used for the check. If this entry ends with "(no check)," then the ritual does not require a skill check.
If a ritual has more than one key skill, you choose which skill to use. Your choice determines both the components you use and the skill you use for any checks required by the ritual.
Unless a ritual's description says otherwise, you make your skill check when you finish performing a ritual. You can't take 10 on one of these skill checks.
The text that follows the foregoing information describes what happens when you finish performing a ritual.
Rituals by Level (first 10 levels)
With a smile and a wink, you show Soveliss the outline of the trapdoor he missed.
Level: 3Category: ExplorationTime: 10 minutesDuration: InstantaneousComponent Cost: 25 gpMarket Price: 125 gpKey Skill: Arcana
Make an Arcana check. Use the result as a bonus to a Perception check you immediately make to find any secret or hidden doors in your line of sight. If anyone aided you while performing this ritual, they can't help you make the resulting Perception check.
Even the most horrid affliction disappears in response to your healing touch.
Level: 6Category: RestorationTime: 10 minutesDuration: InstantaneousComponent Cost: 150 gpMarket Price: 360 gpKey Skill: Heal
The Cure Disease ritual wipes away a single disease afflicting the subject, whether the disease is active or still incubating. The subject is completely cured and loses any negative side effects and symptoms of the disease.
This ritual is physically taxing to the recipient; if used on an injured character, it can even kill him or her. Upon completing this ritual, make a Heal check, using the level of the disease as a penalty to this check. The result indicates the amount of damage the character takes. Assuming the character survives, this damage can be healed normally.
If you know that your subject is suffering from multiple diseases, you must choose which one this ritual will cure. Otherwise, the ritual affects whichever single disease you knew about. You learn the disease level when you begin the ritual, and at that point you can choose not to continue, without expending any components.
You bend over the body of your slain comrade, applying sacramental unguents. Finally his eyes flutter open as he is restored to life.
Level: 8Category: RestorationTime: 8 hoursDuration: InstantaneousComponent Cost: 500 gpMarket Price: 680 gpKey Skill: Heal (no check)
To perform the Raise Dead ritual, you must have a part of the corpse of a creature that died no more than 30 days ago. You apply mystic salves, then pray to the gods to restore the dead creature's life. The subject returns to life as if he or she had taken an extended rest. The subject is freed of any temporary conditions suffered at death, but permanent conditions remain.
The subject returns with a death penalty: –1 to all attack rolls, skill checks, saving throws, and ability checks. This death penalty fades after the subject reaches three milestones.
You can't restore life to a creature that has been petrified or to a creature that died of old age.
The subject's soul must be free and willing to return to life. Some magical effects trap the soul and thus prevent Raise Dead from working, and the gods can intervene to prevent a soul from journeying back to the realm of the living. In all cases, death is less inclined to return paragon and epic heroes; the component cost is 5,000 gp for paragon tier characters and 50,000 gp for epic tier characters.
Be sure to return Friday for a look at humans as monsters!

North Carolinas Republican-sponsored race to the bottom is nearing another milestone.
Come July 6, anyone who applies for unemployment benefits will be able to collect for a maximum of only 14 weeks, the shortest period in the nation. The next shortest is 18 weeks in Georgia. Most states offer 26 weeks, as North Carolina did until the Republican-led legislature reformed the unemployment program last summer.
The reduction in weeks comes because the legislature not only cut the maximum weekly payment from $535 to $350, it also tied the duration of benefits to the unemployment rate. Now that the rate has dropped below 6.5 percent, the maximum payment period will tighten from the current 19 weeks to 14.
The unemployed searching in a still tight job market will have less time to find a job in their field or one that suits their skills. When their shrunken unemployment checks run out, theyll have to take whatever job they can find, usually at a pay level well below what they previously earned.
This is a Dickensian level of callousness toward North Carolinians facing an income crisis, but what makes it particularly irksome is that Republicans are hailing it as a jobs program. In July 2013, Republican lawmakers began punishing the jobless who were fortunate enough to qualify for unemployment benefits. The federal government was offering to pay for extended unemployment benefits so long as states didnt change their unemployment programs. North Carolinas lawmakers changed the program anyway, cutting off about 70,000 people from the federal benefits. North Carolina was the only state to do so.
That forfeit and the state cuts have coincided with a sharp drop in the states unemployment rate. It fell from 8.3 percent before the law took effect to 6.2 percent in April. Some construe the cuts followed by the rate drop as a cause and effect, the implication being that what unemployed workers needed was motivation to get off the couch. But this is largely fiction. Its true that the economy is improving and more people are finding work, but much of the drop in the unemployment rate is caused by people exiting the labor force either for retirement or out of discouragement (and sometimes the two are related).
The idea that cutting benefits prompts the unemployed to find work was debunked by a recent state study in Illinois. The survey found that four out of five long-term unemployed workers were stillout of work two months after Congress let long-term unemployment insurance expire.
This notion that temporary unemployment benefits provide people a reason not to return to work really needs to end because it is not supported by the data, said Jay Rowell, director of the Illinois Department of Employment Security, in a press release.
Chad Stone, chief economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington, says cutting benefits to push job seeking is bad policy. You dont want people taking the first job necessarily because it might not be the best job for them, he says. You dont want square pegs jammed into round holes.
North Carolinas current approach reflects a misunderstanding of the purpose of unemployment insurance, says John Quinterno, a principal with South by North Strategies, a Chapel Hill research consultancy that specializes in economic and social policy. The benefits are supposed to stabilize the economy and protect workers during economic down cycles. Instead, he says, unemployment insurance is being treated like welfare. By pressuring the unemployed to take whatever job they can find, Quinterno says, the program becomes a tool for pushing people down the wage ladder rather than helping them hold their place or adjust and move up.
Republican leaders say the unemployment program needed to be reduced to accelerate the repayment of $2.8 billion borrowed from the federal government to meet a surge in unemployment applications during the Great Recession. But its unknown whether shortening the period during which employers pay a surcharge toward the debt translates into job creation, as Republicans claim. Meanwhile, once the debt is repaid, the reductions in the unemployment system will remain.
Douglas Perschbacher of Cary has been looking for full-time work since he lost his job as a drug company vice president a year ago. His wife took on part-time work. Hes drawing on his 401(k) and paying a 10 percent penalty. Hes had 25 serious interviews but no offers. At 57, he says even entry-level jobs are closed to him. Employers tell him hes over-qualified. Now hes doing sales work that pays only commission.
Perschbacher has advice for lawmakers who, in the name of spurring the economy, are cutting taxes for the rich and benefits for the unemployed.
When youre helping the unemployed, youre not just helping the unemployed. Youre helping the whole culture of who they shop with, he says. If youre looking for an economic stimulus, thats what you should do.

Creative Puts X-Fi Drivers under GPL
It might have been in an inconspicuous place on their Forums page where Creative Labs announced a new version of the Linux drivers for the Sound Blaster X-Fi and X-Fi Titanium series, but for owners of these sound cards, this news created somewhat of a sensation. The source code is not only readily available, but it's licensed under GPL v2.
As some forum responses can attest to, the drivers are not without some oopses. Nevertheless, chances are good that the drivers will find their way into the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) project.
The drama surrounding the X-Fi drivers goes back to 2006 when Creative Labs promised Linux drivers with ALSA and their own OpenAL 1.1 API and environmental audio extensions (EAX) by the first quarter 2007. By May 2007 this promise was reduced to a whisper in view of the Windows Vista pendants release; the X-Fi cards would remain silent until September 2007. The Sound Blaster people then finally released an early version of their drivers as binaries, which unfortunately ran on 64-bit Linux only and had numerous bugs. Since no hardware documentation was at hand, ALSA developers couldn't provide any immediate help.
February 2008, the Creative folks gave 4Front Technologies a peek at parts of their sources and documentation, thereby allowing them to develop drivers for their Open Sound System (OSS). But even these drivers were less than perfect. In April Creative released a new binary beta driver, again missing many of the originally promised functions. It took the company yet another half year to release the XFiDr 1.00, which runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems and supports the sound cards listed on the Forums page.

The Buccaneers lost to the Ravens in Week 12 and also lost a pair of starters for the season.
ORG Davin Joseph and SS Cody Grimm will both miss the remainder of the 2010 campaign with injuries suffered at Baltimore. Joseph has a broken left foot and Grimm broke his left ankle. Both players will be placed on injured reserve.
"It's very unfortunate," head coach Raheem Morris said. "We're going to miss those players. That's the NFL."
The way we see it
Facing a must-win game against the Falcons in Week 13, these injuries are coming at the wrong time for Tampa Bay. Jeremy Zuttah is likely to fill in for Joseph on the offensive line and Morris said multiple players, such as Sabby Piscitelli, Corey Lynch or even CB Ronde Barber, could start in place of Grimm.

My family had the best time at this clean, comfortable, private cabin. Steven and Katie are very welcoming and place customer service as their top priority for guests. They took the time to show us where to access the rivers. The kids played for hours at the river. It was so beautiful and peaceful. A true getaway....a vacation spot you can come home from not feeling like you need to recuperate from your vacation ;D The house was cozy and spacious at the same time! There ARE stairs to access the upstairs! That isn't shown in the pictures but made us feel a lot better knowing the kids could access the upstairs/loft on stairs rather than the ladder. The kids loved playing in the loft and on the stone patio. We dined out on the patio which is so quaint and private. We watched cardinals and hummingbirds zip by throughout our stay. There's so many windows in the home which allows you to enjoy the beauty of the mountain from inside, as well. We hiked the mountain roads, picked wild blackberries, and thoroughly enjoyed the river. The kitchen is well stocked. The linens were high quality. The towels were nicer than a hotel. We did one load of laundry while there in the new machines. Steven and Katie even provided laundry soap, as well as dishwasher pods and charcoal for the grill. The kids loved hanging out and playing games on the screened-in porch. My husband and I enjoyed watching t.v. some evenings as they have a nice cable set up. The drive up the mountain (in the summer) to the house seemed tricky at first, but we managed. After that first time up, we knew what to do and had no problem after that (and we do not have four wheel drive). Our week spent up there was nothing but wonderful. We definitely plan on heading back to the mountain and staying at one of Steven and Katie's properties again. We didn't need to contact them for anything specific with the house, but they assured us that if we needed anything at any time then just call and they would be available to make sure our stay was perfect. We highly recommend renting with Steven and Katie!!
This is a great place and a great location for your VA Beach vacation. Nice comfortable house to relax in. Your only 2 blocks from the ocean and within walking distance of everything along the beach (stores, food, putt putt golf, etc.)
We had a great weekend up at a Buck's View. The house was clean and cozy and had a great hot tub! We found Carl to be very responsive and helpful and were really appreciative for his recommendations of things to do in the area. We definitely hope to come back again soon!

At Radnor Memorial Library, on Tuesday, February 5 @ 7:30pm, the Library and Radnor Historical Society are hosting a very interesting program involving groundbeaking animated battle maps.
Sean Moir will present an animated map of local Revolutionary War troop movements, including Washington's route after the Battle of Brandywine from Philadelphia through Radnor, which eventually led to the Paoli Massacre. The map will allow the audience to follow the British and American armies hour-by-hour. Moir combines his software and geographic information system skills with his personal interest in history to create his groundbreaking animated battle maps. Moir places heavy emphasis on mapping the cultural landscape upon which fighting and marching occurred.
We've heard some great comments from folks who have seen Sean's presentation and can't wait to see this for ourselves. I think it's worth putting on your woolies and heading over to Radnor Library on Tuesday night.
See you at the Library,

Polynesian Style Grilled Steak and Pasta
1/2 cup mushrooms
8 sprigs of cilantro washed
1/2 cup roasted peppers chopped
1/4 cup sliced jalapeno peppers
two 8-ounce cans crushed pineapple in juice (drained)
8 ounces, rigatoni, mostaccioli or penne rigate pasta
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon chili powder, divided
1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Preheat grill. Fill large saucepan half full of water. Cover and bring to boil on high for pasta 10 minutes, drain and set aside.
Chop cilantro and then jalapeño and red peppers; place all in medium bowl. Stir in mushrooms and pineapple; set aside.
Brush 1 tablespoon of the oil over both sides of the steak; then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the chili powder. Place steak on grill and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (for medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure desired doneness.

The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gov. Mary Fallin has signed legislation authorizing a horse-slaughtering facility in Oklahoma.
Fallin signed the measure into law on Friday, three days after the state Senate approved its final passage. It had previously passed the Oklahoma House.
The measure lifts a 50-year-old ban on horse slaughtering and ends the prohibition of horse-meat processing for export in Oklahoma. Forty-six states, not including Oklahoma, currently allow horse-meat processing. A Washington, OK., plant has applied to include horse slaughter in its USDA inspections.
Fallin says abuse is common among horses that are reaching the end of their natural lives and that many horses are abandoned or left to starve to death. Fallin says Oklahomans who care about the wellbeing of horses cannot be satisfied with the status quo.
An opponent of the bill, Cynthia Armstrong, says the measure will expose horses to inhumane treatment.

Elizabeth Woyke, Forbes Staff
From smartphones to tablets, Wi-Fi to 3G/4G: I cover telecom & mobile.
Tech industry watchers are in general agreement that tablets were one of the biggest trends at the just-concluded Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The analysts at BMO Capital Markets stand apart, however, in saying that tablets powered by Google's Android operating system will match those of Apple's blockbuster iPad in the second half of 2011.
The analysts made this assertion in a Jan. 10 research note accompanied by a conference call for investors. Though they said they believe Apple "continues to lead the tablet pack," they also wrote that they expect unit shipments for Android-based tablets to equal those of the iPad in the second half of 2011.
The driving force is the number of manufacturers who are rushing out Android tablets this year. BMO expects at least 25 to 30 tablets from nearly 20 manufacturers by mid-year, citing Asus, Coby, Fujitsu, HP, HTC, Lenovo, Motorola, MSI, Toshiba, ViewSonic and Vizio, among others. Most of these companies plan to release at least one Android tablet.
In addition, BMO believes that Android tablets will benefit from their compatibility with Flash since the iPad does not support Adobe's multimedia platform.
This pattern roughly corresponds to the rising popularity of Android handsets over the past few years. During BMO's Jan. 10 conference call, analyst Keith Bachman, who covers enterprise hardware and imaging, said, "The number of players participating in Android tablets will replicate the success Google has had on phones." He predicts that Android tablets will "reach unit parity" with Apple's iPad by late 2011.
That kind of growth would be a significant change in the tablet market, which has been dominated by the iPad since its debut in the spring of 2010. BMO estimates that 15 to 16 million tablets were sold in 2010 and attributes the great majority–13 million–of those sales to Apple. (Apple has not disclosed an updated iPad figure in some months, but in mid-October it reported fiscal fourth-quarter sales of 4.2 million iPads.) BMO predicts that 45 million tablets will be sold in 2011.
The Android assault won't reach full force until mid-2011 in part because the next, tablet-optimized version of Android, nicknamed "Honeycomb", won't be released until the spring. These upcoming Honeycomb devices will be a "marked improvement" over current Android tablets, such as Samsung's Galaxy Tab, wrote the analysts—a group that included BMO's Tim Long, who covers communications equipment and Ambrish Srivastava, who covers semiconductors.
I don't think so.
They do not even have a real tablet OS, and when they do it will be not quite ready for prime time.
Additionally, they will not be able to offer an equivalent product for the same price. (Apple has both economies of scale, and their own CPU chip to lower costs.)
These 2 factors will lead to negative experience by Android tablet users.
The problem with the analysts is this:
- they think that the surge in Android smartphone adoption is indicative of future performance.
But that surge was driven (at least in the USA) by ATT exclusive limiting potential buyers, and a lot of BOGO offers (buy on get one free). With iPhone on Verizon, I expect to see a very radical drop of new purchase share by Android.
So, unless someone will be offering Android tablets at a 2 for 1 sale, I do not see Android tablet sales matching iPad anytime soon.
"However, BMO did identify one weak spot in Apple's current offerings: cloud computing. "Apple will need to improve its cloud capabilities to maintain leadership [in the tablet market]…"
That's interesting, since, as far as I know, NO other tablet manufacturer has significant "cloud capabilities" of its own. (Not even RIM; their "cloud" is essentially an email server.) Why doesn't BMO apply this to HP, Motorola, etc? They all will depend upon Google, I expect, but the iPhone and iPad can also use Google's apps (e.g., Google docs). This sounds like the BMO analysts reaching for reasons to cut down Apple and, in the process, making themselves look really stupid.
It is certainly possible.
Android tablets would have to hit an annualized rate of ~20M shipped by the end of the year [If the expectation is 45M total tablets and 5M will be something other than iOS or Android].
It is going to be a stretch though. The most exciting tablet I saw from CES was the Motorola XOOM. They have reportedly ordered 700-800K units for Q1. If they are able to ship those and increase pace they may hit 3-5M for the year. That still leaves at least 15M to come from other companies like Samsung, LG and HTC.
I actually think general Android adoption will increase despite the iPhone coming to Verizon. Some consumers are just negative on Apple.
1 – honestly iOS isn't really a tablet OS… nothing different than the iPhone's OS… only apps are different, not the OS itself. Think about that for a moment.
More Android tablets come, more apps will be made for the larger form factor.
I agree with jmmmx. The reason Android phones have market penetration is because they were not available at Verizon. I guarantee you, once Verizon iphone comes out (hopefully announced on 1/11/11) there will be very long lines at Verizon.
BMO is totally off in regards to the ipad. There is no way the android app markets can match the ipad's ecosystem. I believe android tablets can reach at most, 30-40% of the tablet market; and only because there will be dirt cheap android tablets. There was a recent report about a father who bought 2 Coby tablets which were about $130 each for his daughters saying that it was "essentially" what they wanted. The reason it was in the news was because the tablets had adult-oriented tabs which could not be removed! I am positive that the daughters asked for ipads and the father didn't get it for them because it was too expensive. I cannot see the daughters wanting to download anything for the Coby. Also they would be embarassed to bring them to school. Yes the two Coby tablets would be considered Android tablet purchases, but they could also be paperweights. The bottom line is that there would not be a lasting market for devices that consumers would consider second-rate, it would only be a temporary substitute until they could afford the real thing.
Android adoption will increase, albeit incrementally, and at the continued expense of RIMM. The problem with the increase is that the typical android consumer is more budget conscious than the iphone consumer and tends to purchase far less apps. Add to this a fragmented and more complicated android marketplace, and the result is that developers might be hesitant to produce as many apps for android. It is just my opinion, but this can potentially cause irreparable damage to the android marketplace and name if google does not address this issue.
"The number of players participating in Android tablets will replicate the success Google has had on phones."
The crux is whether or not this is true. Is the tablet market like the smartphone market, or is it more like the iPod market? The smartphone market dynamics are heavily influenced by the network carrier distribution model of subsidization in some countries. Tablets are a bit of a hybrid, some have cell radios built in and can be sold by wireless carriers, and may be subsidized. Many are wifi only and can be sold at any retail outlet, like iPods with no subsidy.
People like to gloat that Android phones have surpassed the iPhone in the US, but fail to think about the context. Android phones are sold across all carriers, reaching 100% of the US market. iPhones are only sold on AT&T reaching about 35% of the potential US market. Where Android and iPhone are both available on AT&T, the iPhone has sold 15x more than Android, according to recent analysis.
So, BMO's analysis is faulty for two reasons; one, because the smartphone market is not exactly like the tablet market in the way it sells to consumers, and two; forgetting that the iPhone was only available to about 35% of the market makes the comparison sketchy.

Gluten free menu is terrific - esp
the burrata and beef hash! Will definitely return."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Great restaurant with amazing food
and a great wine list. The service was excellent as well."
Dined on 7/19/2014
We arrived at 7:30pm on a
Wednesday night, and the place was empty aside from 3 other tables. From the get-go the service was slow, inaccurate (pistachios were all over a dish even though it wasn't listed as an ingredient on the menu - and my partner is allergic), and at times downright confrontational. We had an OpenTable gift certificate, and between 3 staff members they couldn't figure out how to apply it to our bill. It was an awkward 30 mins of back-and-forth that for awhile I thought was going to end with them saying we couldn't use the certificate. In the end they did take the value off of our check, but I left with a bad taste in my mouth. The food was good but grossly over-priced considering the overall dining experience."
Dined on 7/16/2014
My wife, two adult children who
live in the city, and I enjoyed a great evening st the Blue Star on July 11th. We shared three small plates and three large plates. We loved the food and the service. This was our first time and we will come back! We hope to return to Opera nights."
Dined on 7/11/2014
Our visit to Blue Star for our
anniversary dinner was outstanding. The ambiance is lovely with good music that is not too loud, lovely art, and design of the dining areas. The food was wonderful - I ordered 3 of the small plates, each better than the last: bacon wrapped dates - beautifully done with the bacon crispy on the outside, bruschetta with grilled nectarines and creamy burrata mozz., and the arugula and endamame pesto. My husband's pasta with truffles was delicious. The winner was the dessert - 3 nutella balls rolled in ground graham crackers and then fried (I think). Amazing. We will be back! The hostess/manager/server was absolutely the best and she had her hands full working solo."
Dined on 6/24/2014
Delicious food with interesting
ingredients. Friendly employees, cute place in a surprise location."
Dined on 6/13/2014
This is the quintessential
'neighborhood gem'. From respectable wine list to deliciously presented appetizers to lick-the-plate good entrees, I'll be back to this one for sure. Oh, and try the scallops-out of this world. "
Dined on 5/30/2014
Blue Star Bistro was exactly what
I was looking for. A restaurant for a girls' night out that was close to the expressway for a friend driving from the suburbs, free parking lot, outstanding food, quiet outdoor seating, great service and Nutella balls for dessert! All of the food was delicious. We ordered several small and medium plates to share and you must save room for the Nutella dessert."
Dined on 5/21/2014
This is such a sweet little place
with a sweet server, Tillie, who ws just delightful. Stuffed dates were AMAZING; I could have eaten a dozen. Goat cheese croquettes were AMAZING. The shrimp and the scallop small plates....AMAZING. Seriously, every single bite was delicious. And fried Nutella balls...you could just die. The bleu cheese spread with the wheet bread (bread plate) was scrumptious; the one and only not perfect thing was the little rolls on the bread plate, which were a little hard, but otherwise just a wonderful dining experience. And the basil cocktail was unusual and just lovely."
Dined on 5/15/2014
Walking into this restaurant, you
aren't sure if it's a spinach tapas place, an asian fusion spot or a country cookin' cozy hide away. It's blue and yellow colors with all different wooden chairs scream cozy living room, but the paintings of bulls and matadors are a nod to spanish flair and the overall aroma was asian tempura. BUT our waiter was a gem! He was so nice and ignored our girly gossip and politely blushed. We had a bottle of Chianti which was fabulous, and the brussels to start. Great app (really a side) for sharing. The 3 of us then split the Quinoa and Prosciutto flatbread, leaving plenty of room for the FRIED NUTELLA. HELLO yumminess! I will be back! Hopefully they can revamp their interior. I would be happy to help! :) "
Dined on 5/14/2014
Love the food, service, ambience,
wine selection. The sommelier was fantastic - Best Dessert in Chicago- fried Nutella balls with cappuccino mousse. Intimate, romantic - but around the bar wine sampling - great. In winter - there are fireplaces - Oh, and there was free parking! Various rabbit, elk, venison sausages were lovely, the trout and Brussels also excellent. Definitely go. "
Dined on 5/8/2014
I had no problems at all using a
LivingSocial deal. Service was excellent. Everyone was so nice and made us feel welcome. The food was delicious, but the portions were very small for the price. I left feeling somewhat hungry, despite having an entrée and shared appetizer and dessert. "
Dined on 5/7/2014
Restaurant was fun and eclectic.
Took customer and we actually had drinks and appetizers for dinner. Wasn't the plant there were so many good things on the list, we never got past the appetizers. We had great service, the environment was fun and you could talk without it being so loud. Enjoyed the time there. They were even willing (and did) run out and hail us a taxi."
Dined on 4/29/2014
This restaurant is in the
strangest location but I must say it will not disappoint. Obviously has a great wine selection but I was very surprised at the reasonable prices, lots of bottles under $50 from all over the world. The service was great, nice and accommodating and not pretentious. We ordered 3 things, butternut salad, burrata and pork belly mac n cheese; everything was absolutely delicious! Definitely going back"
Dined on 4/24/2014
Great place to have a romantic
dinner. I enjoy the opera night. We and my wife were celebrarting aniversary ano it was fantastic. Wine list is excellent. Food is very nice and decorated. chesse platter is also a most with a good wine."
Dined on 4/13/2014
When you walk in, you immediately
note the warmness of the entire restaurant; staff are always smiling and really attentive. Decor was great and created a lovely setting for the delicious food."
Dined on 4/9/2014
Love unusual combinations that
Blue Star has on their menu. We loved everything we ordered, nothing wasted. We chose to order the small plates and share but the main dishes looked great too. Garlic Shrimp, Burrata, Mac&Cheese with pork belly, Dates wrapped in Bacon I'll be back! Our server was knowledgeable and thoughtful. Cute decor with fireplace."
Dined on 4/1/2014
Second visit, even better than the
first, which I LOVED, and can't wait to go back. The food and the staff exceed five stars!"
Dined on 3/29/2014
I took my brother out to Blue Star
for his birthday. We shared the daily offering of breads, duck confit, pork belly Mac & Cheese, and fried Nutella. Everything was delicious and well cooked. The portions were a little mismatched, the duck confit being a large plate but a smaller size than expected. The Mac and Cheese however was larger than expected, so we left well satisfied. The fried Nutella was excellent as well, but could have used a bit more coulis to cut the richness. The bread and blue cheese garlic spread was fantastic. Our server was knowledgable and friendly, knowing just when to stop by the table to check on us. We did visit earlier on a Wednesday night so it was a fairly slower night, but the music was good."
Dined on 3/26/2014
Blue Star has a lot of delicious
food options and a small, neighborhood feel. Each time I have been there, the food has been delicious and I've left satisfied. In my opinion, the food is slightly overpriced for the quantity you receive. I would not eat there without some sort of discount."
Dined on 3/23/2014
My wife and I met another couple
there for dinner on Saturday. We were very pleased with the knowledgeable staff and given excellent recommendations on delicious red and white wines by the glass. This was followed up with a moderately sized menu where we tried a number of different dishes, some of which were small plates and others full dinner size. We chose to eat family style so we were able to try a good variety from the menu. Each item was well thought out, presented beautifully and most importantly - delicious. We especially enjoyed the scallop small plate, shrimp small plate, quinoa small plate and the trout entree. I highly recommend this place. We'll be coming back soon."
Dined on 3/22/2014
This is a great spot for date
night! Not too loud. Great food. Even better wine list."
Dined on 3/21/2014
We cannot say enough about the
food, wine and service at Blue Star. We met up with a group of college roommates and spouses and were treated with care and fun the entire time. The food and wine recommendations and explanations were spot-on and the food itself - small plates, large plates and desserts - were all extraordinary - far exceeding even the amazing expectations we had. The service was absolutely flawless."
Dined on 3/15/2014
Service was excellent; place fills
up with reservations quickly. Easy access off of Division and tables are spaced far enough that you don't feel like you are cramped with your neighbors. Very astute server who helped us pace the meal appropriately given what we ordered and how we were progressing with our meal. The nutella balls were incredibly rich, but oh so good. Owner/manager was on point and definitely managing flow and guest expectations. Great visit and really recommend it for date night."
Dined on 3/14/2014
The food and wine were all
amazing---did an evening of small shared plates. Everything was so good we couldn't pick a favorite. Joe and the rest of the staff made the evening perfect for our anniversary. Antonio is so innovative! Try the bread pudding--one of the best I've ever had."
Dined on 3/8/2014
charming place with great food
even greater service. Neighborhood feel. Can't recommend highly enough."
Dined on 3/8/2014
You should probably ask how many
"x" come on each plate though- the scallops (which are super awesome) come two to a plate, which was perfect for the two of us. We had a salad (so good!) and split four small plates- the scallops, bacon wrapped dates (so good here, really quite exquisite and we've had and made a lot of bacon wrapped dates), osso bucco (not as into this, too salty), and the MAC AND CHEESE (incredible! The beer flavors make it awesome, and the accompanying bratwurst was great). They were a little short staffed but very friendly and attentive. We're having our wedding reception there! This trip was just to try out the food."
Dined on 3/7/2014
Very nice interior, great food,
and wine flights are fun. Will definitely come back soon."
Dined on 3/6/2014
I enjoyed the restaurant quite a
lot. The wine list was really nice. I also lived the small and large plate options. The burgers are fantastic. I also think the pork BBQ sliders are a winner. The cheese plate is also great. My one catch is that the mains came out before we were finished with the apps. I am likely being picky here but it is a pet peeve of mine. Service was super friendly and efficient otherwise. Oh and the dates and bacon were divine. :)"
Dined on 2/28/2014
Great place, great menu, with
small and large plates. Great service."
Dined on 2/21/2014
We came here to celebrate a 21st
birthday. It was a Monday and we wanted to try something new with good food. It wasn't good food; it was GREAT food. The pork sliders were prepared with the BEST BBQ sauce I have ever had, the burger was on very light bread and was full of great taste. The fried nutella is also out of this world. I was surprised at how small the wine list was, being a wine bar, but they had great selections and during the week some are half price! We were one of only three tables there on a Monday night but PLEASE don't let that deter you. It is located slightly off the beaten path south of Lincoln & Wicker Parks, and west of downtown so it is definitely a destination spot, but amazing nonetheless."
Dined on 2/10/2014
Just discovered this spot and had
an incredibly enjoyable feast here. While the wine list is notable, we were disappointed that they were out of a few selections, but given the weather I know a lot of places have had difficulties getting deliveries. Also, our table was rickety (leaves were extended to accommodate us and they felt like they were going to fall through the whole evening) which took some getting used to. But overall the atmosphere was delightful, cozy and warm and the food was amazing. Will definitely dine here again."
Dined on 2/8/2014
This is a great little spot with
fabulous food - you can make a meal on multiple small plates to share."
Dined on 1/30/2014
I have driven past this little
hidden place off the neighborhood on Division a zillion times, but underestimated it's delightful charms. The first nice thing about this place is the free street parking right in front and it's quieter location away from the main Wicker Park drag. My husband and I are hunters for great wine bars with gourmet morsels, and Blue Star did not disappoint with a pique tasting experience. Not only was the food and wine heavenly, but each bite, each course, contained the most beautiful visual presentation. Topped off with a rustic, charming live classical guitarist, the overall experience was worth making it our memorable special occasion."
Dined on 1/24/2014
I booked a table here knowing
nothing about the restaurant, except that they serve wine... and that they do! My girlfriends and I all sampled the wine flights, and they were great! We ordered the soup, which was delicious, and then ordered a bunch of small plates to share. We had such a great time, we ended up drinking wine, eating, and chatting for almost 3 hours. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They were very helpful with food and wine recommendations. Thank you!"
Dined on 1/18/2014
The Brie flatbread and hash (pork
belly and pulled pork) were outstanding!"
Dined on 1/16/2014
Wonderful meal. Service a bit
slow, as usual. Friendly staff. Wine selection is excellent. The Wedge salad is to die for."
Dined on 1/11/2014
I have been here three times and
the food has yet to disappoint and the wine is reasonably priced. I have had phenomenal service two times and meh service the other, but not enough to keep me from coming back. The blueberry/goat cheese croquettes and lamb bolognese are outstanding, the latter being one of my favorite dishes I have had anywhere."
Dined on 12/31/2013
I went there with my parents, who
prefer quieter restaurants these days. This place was PERFECT. The night we went the server mentioned things were quieter because of the holidays, but it was exactly what we wanted. The wine list made my dad happy, and I loved that they do flights where you can pick your own 3 wines! Low down on the food: Butternut squash salad - delicious. Great balance of flavors and not too sweet Tomato basil soup - this was the special and it was very flavorful. Not just a boring tomato soup. Bread with garlic spread - YUM. Burrata - INCREDIBLE. You kinda gotta do this. My dad got the Tuna and really enjoyed that too. All in all, this was the perfect spot for us. I would absolutely go back there again."
Dined on 12/28/2013
Food was wonderful. Cindy was
lovely. Will definitely return."

Pet Food Express in Mill Valley donated resuscitation kits specifically designed for pets to Marin County fire departments Saturday, a store official said.
A month-long fundraiser by the store, as well as the on East Blithedale Avenue in Mill Valley, resulted in the donation of 44 kits, according to Pet Food Express officials.
Prior to the donation Saturday, most of the county's fire departments were not equipped with the kits.
Marin County fire departments will put the kits on their fire engines, according to officials.
Michael Levy, Pet Food Express' founder and a Mill Valley resident, said he believes the kits will help save pets.
"This is a great way for us to help pets and the community at the same time," he said in a statement. "It could be someday that your pet, or my pet, will need this kit."
Each kit costs $100 and includes three sizes of oxygen masks, oxygen supply lines, a rescue leash, decals and instructions.
